False fire alarms could mean large fees


* A NEW CITY ORDINANCE IS SET TO
TAKE EFFECT OCT. 1.

By STEPHEN MAGRUDER

smagruder@alligator.org

UF's classrooms, residence halls and stu-
dent union have received final inspections to
ensure their fire alarms are in top working or-


der before the city of Gainesville begins charg-
ing the university for false alarms Oct. 1.
Gainesville's False Fire Alarm Ordinance
will fine all residents and business owners
inside city limits who cause multiple false fire
alarms. The ordinance is modeled after a simi-
lar law regarding burglar alarms in 2000.
A false fire alarm occurs when the fire
department responds and later determines no
real emergency existed.
"Our hope is just to reduce the amount of

false fire alarms in the city," said Gainesville
Fire Rescue spokeswoman Shawna Traub.
She said there are risks involved with


false-alarm responses involving speeding fire
engines moving through city traffic.
"We respond as if it was a real fire," she
said. "It puts everybody on the road at risk,
and it also takes us out of service."
GFR reports an average of 1,430 false fire
alarms per year, costing the city $370,000.
From 2001 to 2004, UF was the site of 860
false alarms, or 15 percent of Gainesville's total.

Tenants file lawsuits


for UCorners parking


By JESSICA RIFFEL
Alligator Writer
jriffel@alligator.org

There will be no free parking
in the new University Corners if
developers get their way.
Three tenants are disputing
the $180-million project because
parking fees may inhibit business.
The Brick Oven Pizza and Pasta
Company has filed a lawsuit.
"I think that most college
students wouldn't pay to park,"
owner Ryan McGuinfiess said.
There is free parking now
for customers of Gator Plaza,
the development at University
Avenue and 13th Street, but the
proposed change is prompting
tenant Maui Teriyaki to file a
lawsuit as well.
"This is only going to be for
the rich," owner Steve Marzke
said. "People in Gainesville will
not pay to park. This is a fiasco.
This is not South Beach."


He does not plan to be a part
of "the new University Corners
because of the charge for park-
ing, as well as the higher rent.
' "We intended to be there until
2022 and beyond, but we don't
want to be in the new shopping
center," Marzke said;
The new University Corners is
planned to be a three-block com-
mercial and residential complex,
and developers said they hope
to attract more unique stores and
restaurants.
Frank Darabi, the chief execu-
tive officer of University Corners
LLC, the developer, said busi-
nesses can. pay for their own
customers' free parking.
"That would all be worked
out between the owner and the
developer," Darabi said.
However, Marzke 'said the
charge for parking violates his
lease.

UF opens new office to better, further Gator Nation


By CASSIDY MILLS
Alligator Contributing Writer

UF has moved sustainability up on the priority list all the
way up to Tigert Hall.
In hopes of meeting the needs of today's UFCommunity
and preserving resources for the next generation, UF has an-
nounced it will open an Office of Sustainability in the universi-
ty's chief administrative building.
"The Office of Sustainability symbolizes the importance of
sustainability to UF and especially to the students," Faculty


Senate Chairwoman Kim Tanzer said.
Tanzer said the office, which the Faculty Senate initiated,
should help coordinate the sustainability work
On that is already going on at UF and help prepare
CampuS for more work in the future.
The office will not officially open until
November, when an executive director is hired, but some
sustainability efforts are already underway. They include ev-
erything from advocating for living wages to the design of new
buildings.
The living-wage program was announced in 2000 for entry-


level employees. The current starting salary is $8.67 per hour.
"It is important that we don't just pay people minimum
wage. We need to provide them with enough money to live,"
said Les Thiele, a professor of political science and chair of the
Committee on Sustainability at UF.
He called the office "a good idea whose time has come."
Some results of increased sustainability practices on campus
will be more recycling, a reduction of waste, greater efficiency
of energy in buildings, greater interest in community service

Pulitzer winner visits college


By BOBBY KEITH
Alligator Contributing Writer
Don't tell. Show.
Journalists strive to achieve
this goal in their writing, and
some might say Rick Bragg has
perfected it.
Bragg was an official guest
of the College of Journalism
and Communications at UF this
week, speaking to classrooms
full of students eager for the
opportunity to learn tips from a


world-renowned author.
"It's not about the craft. It's
not about the money," Bragg
said to the students. "It's about
the adventures you have along
the way."
With his Southern drawl and
frequent use of "ain't," Bragg
may not give the impression of a
man who won a Pulitzer Prize for
feature writing in 1996.
His jobs have taken him on a
number of adventures. Just ask
and he'll tell.


Luanne ulerz/ Hillgauor
Pulitzer-winning journalist Rick Bragg autographs his book at
the College of Journalism and Communications on Monday..


Starting at a small weekly
newspaper in Alabama, Bragg
honed his skills and became the
premier feature writer for The
New York Times.
He has written stories about
the Oklahoma City bombing,
the race riots in Miami, the Elian
Gonzalez crisis and the 2000 elec-
tion.
He even offered to "kiss a
camel on the mouth" to write
from the Middle East when he
worked for the St. Petersburg
Times. Luckily, he said, it didn't
have to come to that.
Bragg didn't just give the
facts about events he covered;
he focused on the people the
facts affected. He has so many
memorable news-feature stories
that he filled a book with them
- "Somebody Told Me."
"I've been mad, hurt, so sick
to my stomach in all my years
of doing this," he said. "But I've
never been bored."
Bragg warned young writers
about the hardships he encoun-
tered while being a journalist,
and how starting out as a writer
can be like being on the "tail end
of a dragon."
It's a job requiring more than
determination youth is also a
necessity, he said.
Bragg made national head-
lines in May 2003 when he re-
signed from The New York Times
after using a stringer to assist him
on a story without giving credit.
He denied fault in the situ-
ation, saying it was a common
practice at the paper at the time.
While he no longer has a
full-time feature-writing job, he
writes occasional opinion pieces
for various national publica-
tions.
Master lecturer Mike Foley,
who was an editor at the St.
Petersburg Times when he hired
Bragg as a reporter, introduced
Bragg to many UF classes.
Bragg now works as a profes-
sor of writing at the University
of Alabama. He said he plans to
write at least two more books.

Police search for sex offender


By STEPHANIE RODRIGUEZ
Alligator Writer
srodriguez@alligator.org

A local registered sex offender vio-
lated probation Tuesday and became
a fugitive, spurring law-enforcement
agencies statewide to initiate a man-
hunt.
Edgar Baughn Bird, 43, removed
the monitoring device strapped to
his ankle.
Bird has a violent criminal history
that includes robbery and child moles-
tation, according to reports.
"We are trying to do everything
in our power to capture him," said
Alachua County Sheriff's Office
spokesman Sgt. Stephen Maynard.
A statewide alert has been issued
to locate Bird.
Bird is a white male, approximate-
ly 5'11" and 240 pounds, according to
the police report.
A picture of Bird can be found at
http://www.fdle.state.fl.us.
His last known residence is 6805
SW 51st Ave. in Gainesville.
Police are considering a reward for
anyone who knows his whereabouts.
Those with information may con-


tact ASO at 955-1818. Callers-wishing
to remain anonymous can contact
Crime Stoppers at 374-7867.

MAGAZINE POSERS: Management
at Lexington Crossing apartments
sent out a notice of the dangers of
door-to-door magazine vendors after
Gainesville Police discovered that
some of them were robbers.
"If you don't know people, don't
let them in your house," said GPD
spokesman Sgt. Keith Kameg.
"If you want to buy a magazine,
call the company."
Kameg advised residents to secure
any sliding glass doors, as those are
the easiest targets for robbers.
With the several occupied-home
burglaries of the past few weeks in
two other apartment complexes, GPD
is investigating whether both inci-
dents are related.

ATTEMPTED MURDER: A man tried to
kill two North Florida Evaluation and
Treatment Center employees because
he was denied a request for changes to
be made in his housing and counselor
assignments at the facility, reports
state.


Ramon Sanchez, 35, kicked Cindy
Hopson and Pamela Borders in the
head repeatedly while threatening to
kill them with a small knife if they
didn't comply with his demands.
Security officials at the facility were
able to contain the situation.

COCAINE POSSESSION: Two men
were arrested for possession of 35
grams of cocaine near Joseph A.
Williams Elementary School, 1245 SE
Seventh Ave.
Chauncey Presley, 26, and
Michael Spann, 21, were in a white
Buick when an officer approached
the car because they were playing
their music too loudly, according
to reports.
When the officer approached
the car, he noticed that Spann, who
smelled like marijuana, attempted to
hide a "partially smoked cannabis-
filled blunt" in his pants. As the officer
called for backup because drugs were
involved, Presley fled from the car,
who was caught later.
Police found baggies full of cocaine
and $6,194 in the vehicle and suspect
the cocaine was mainly for distribu-
tion.


Last day to apply


for Preview staff

By DAPHNE CHARLES
Alligator Contributing Writer

Many are called, but few will be chosen for the
Preview Staff 2006 experience.
Today is the last day to turn in applications for
Preview 2006.
More than 100 students are expected to attend the
first round of. group interviews at the Reitz Union
Grand Ballroom on Wednesday, but only 40 will be
selected, said Ann Ho Becks, director for New Student
Programs.
Becks said her office is looking for ap-
Stiudent plicants who will be strong role models to
__ students and families. It seeks individuals
who are willing to do the hard work, have
an energy, passion and love for UF, as well as genuine
care and concern for people.
After all entries are submitted, applicants go through
a selective interview process, said Eva Trowbridge, se-
nior secretary of New Student Programs, who receives
the applications.
"We have to make sure. we get top quality," she
said. "It will show what a true Gator is about as far as
academics and leadership the real reasons you really
come to college riot just the partying."
Bonding and interaction among staff members and
their faculty advisers are important parts of the Preview
experience, said Adam Freehling, third-year recreation
and event management major, and Preview staff mem-
ber.
"I learned from my other staffers how to deal with
other's leadership styles, personality and diversity,"
Freehling said.

Editorial


Hasty acts

Joe Goldberg makes

damaging decision
The topic of today's editorial is close to home.
However, with Student Government elections com-
ing up, we feel it must be addressed.
At Tuesday's Student Senate meeting, Student Body
President Joe Goldberg issued an executive order prohibiting
all SG agencies from advertising in the Alligator.
We know we may not be able to step back from this enough
to judge it in the right context. But we are the main newspaper
covering the university, and we're going to take a shot at it.
A section of the student body is upset. Somehow, that has
snowballed into SG deciding to remove itself from the entire
student population.
This move could be much more disastrous for UF students
than for the Alligator. We'll take the bullet, but students
shouldn't be hit in an all-encompassing drive-by.
Goldberg's haste has punished the uninvolved. To find out
what their tuition is buying, students will be forced to search
online and around campus for SG events, rather than open up
a readily available newspaper.
We're not sure anyone will put in the effort.
And does this mean SG agencies will'also be told not to
speak to Alligator reporters about upcoming events?
If so, we're sorry that the Alligator's news stories will lack
the views and information from the SG officials who organize
these student-funded activities.
But don't get us wrong. We'd rather they cut their adver-
tisements and talk to reporters than not talk at all.
It irks us even more that Goldberg, the lead student who
makes decisions on our behalf, has decided to break student
statutes to make his point.
He wants to take away all SG advertisements from the
Alligator, but the statutes state that certain notices be placed
in "the newspaper with the greatest circulation among
University of Florida students."
Goldberg's assertion that the UF Wednesday Update and
the SG Web site can fill this role is simply incorrect.
If SG wanted to make this move, its statutes should have
been changed. That way, Goldberg would not have broken SG
rules, and officials would have had more time to think about
making this big decision.
Furthermore, senators would have had a say. We can't tell
how many were for this move and how many were against
it. Goldberg announced his decision; he didn't ask for sena-
tors' input. When statutes are changed, however, the Student
Senate has to vote.
We don't know if Goldberg knew he was breaking rules,
but this isn't the first time he has shown a disregard for the'
laws that uphold Student Government. When he was sen-
ate president last Fall, Goldberg made several questionable
moves.
At one Senate meeting, he allowed a second meeting to
convene directly afterward despite a Florida statute that states
"reasonable notice" should be given for all such open, public
meetings.
At another session, several senators accused Goldberg
of manipulating Senate procedure in an effort to stop a cer-
tain candidate from being voted in as president for Student
Government Productions.
This is not the leadership UF students need and deserve.
Goldberg should be carefully considering what best suits the
student body. He should not be making hasty decisions.
Goldberg's attempt to make a point has revealed his ques-

Letters to the Editor
Outsiders cannot use 'nickname'
This letter is not to condone the use of the
word or to trivialize this issue. I am trying to
explain how some people might feel.
In June 1995, Michael Jackson released his
HIStory two-disc set. In one song he used the
term "kike." He explained he was trying to
promote multiculturalism and that he wasn't
a racist. No one bought that explanation, and
Michael Jackson went back to the studio and
recorded a more acceptable version of the
song. This is similar to what happened to this
newspaper.
The terms that we consider derogatory that
people of various groups use with each other
are like nicknames. The nickname that your
family gives you might be one that is contro-
versial, but you know your family members
love you when they use it.
Outsiders are not as compassionate be-
cause of your nickname's connotations.
Therefore, only family gets to use your
nickname.

SG should fight all racism on campus
It's great that Student Government and the
UF administration are concerned about racism
on campus, but if they are worried about solv-


ing problems of inequality, they should look
elsewhere.
Today, at the Student Recreation and Fitness
Center, as I did my sit-up routine, Jay-Z's song
"99 Problems" came on the stereo. The chorus,
repeated numerous times, is: "If you havin'
girl problems, I feel bad for you son. I got 99
problems but a bitch ain't one."
As I looked around the fitness center
at the women and men there, I felt embar-
rassed for all of us. Half of us were referred
to as "bitches" who should not be taken
seriously, while to the other half it was im-
plied that they are not real men if they take
women seriously.
I am confused as to why no one seems
to mind that at this UF facility women are
blatantly referred to as "bitches" and dearly
degraded while Andy Marlette's cartoon is
causing such an uproar when it made no value
judgments of any particular group.
I don't doubt that both race and socioeco-
nomic status played an either direct or indirect
role in the evacuation procedure of Hurricane
Katrina or that there is rampant racism in gov-
ernment and society at large. I also don't think
anyone can infer from Marlette's cartoon that
he would disagree.
So, if SG wants to take away funding from
the Alligator because of perceived racism, I


think it should also take away funding from
the Student Recreation and Fitness Center be-
cause of the obvious sexism it allowed.

Meyer has shown superiority to Zook
Andrew Meyer needs to re-watch a tape of
the Gators' first three games this season before
passing his judgment on our football team.
I agree that we have been quick to anoint
Coach Urban Meyer as the savior of Florida
football (I remember thinking, "Hey, this Zook
guy's pretty good" after his first win against
UT.) But Andrew Meyer needs to examine the
reasons behind the Gator Nation's views.
This was the first off-season in recent
memory that passed without incident, due to
the discipline instilled by Coach Meyer. The
players as also playing with this discipline
and with a heart and desire that was lacking in
three seasons under Zook.
True, Coach Meyer did call a conserva-
tive game, but I'm sure it wasn't his choice..
Tennessee's defense is talented enough to
force you to change your game plan. I'm sure
Coach Meyer wishes he could have been more
aggressive, but UT's defense wasn't allowing
enough time for these types of plays to de-
velop. Coach Meyer took what was given to


him and won with it.
If Zook was still coach, I guarantee we
wouldn't have walked away from that game
with a victory.
As for Josh Portis starting over Leak, I think
Mr. Meyer may have lost his mind.
Portis deserves to start based off what 20
plays? National championship-contending
teams don't have 17-year-old -quarterbacks
starting for them. Period. Do me a favor and
re-watch the Tennessee game. On almost
every play, Chris Leak was running for his
life, yet he stepped up and made the plays he
needed to time and time again.
He played almost flawlessly considering
the appalling lack of blocking and constant
pressure he had to face. Leak is one of the
most talented players in the country and has
the potential to be a legitimate Heisman can-
didate. Unfortunately, like most quarterbacks,
he needs time to be able to make plays.
Portis will be a great QB at UF in the future,
but this is Leak's team, and I have faith that
he will put up more big numbers this season
and next. Ask college coaches and I'd bet 99
percent of them will take the three-year start-
ing, conference passing yard-leading, 17 con-
secutive pass-completing junior quarterback
over the wide-eyed freshman who has only
completed one five-yard pass and has yet to
see action.against any real opponents.

Cost of false fire calls may alarm students


ALAR MS, from page 1

Each building with a registered fire
alarm is allowed one false-alarm call
per year.
After that, fees start at $25 for false
alarm No. 2 and could go as high as
$400 for false alarm No. 9 and above.
UF will keep a record of any future
false alarms to understand potential
causes, such as electrical malfunctions,
heat, cooking smoke, or accidental or


intentional manual activation.
However William Properzio, UF
environmental health and safety di-
rector, said no campus alarm system
renovations were necessary.
"All our fire alarms are inspected
by the state fire marshal, and they all
meet code," he said.
In the last three months, UF has
stepped up its quality control of moni-
toring each alarm.
"We have re-emphasized and en-
hanced what we're doing," he added.


Buildings with the highest number
of false fire alarms on campus during
the past five years were residence halls
and fraternity and sorority houses.
Factors playing into the high num-
ber of false alarms include continuous
occupancy, frequent cooking and pos-
sible alarm activation by residents.
Residents now are required to
register their fire alarm with the city
at a cost of $15 and are encouraged to
check with their alarm company if they
ever have a false alarm.


Project cannot start until disputes are settled


UCORNERS, from page 1

"Parking is critical," Marzke said. "Without parking
there, it will kill a business."
The lease prohibits University Comers from demolish-
ing the Gator Plaza, as the developer plans, he said.
"They are only allowed to build above and around
us," Marzke said. "They can't demolish the building.
They say they can, so it'll be up to a judge to decide."
Michael Conroy, project manager of University
Comers, said they would like to start the project at the
beginning of 2006, but it depends on the three disputing


tenants, financial issues and negotiations with the city.
The project cannot start until the disputes are settled,
whether in or out of court.
"I remain hopeful that things will work out and it will
be a win-win situation for both parties involved," Conroy
said.
Brick Oven is waiting to set a court date, and Maui
Teriyaki anticipates filing a lawsuit.
"For now, we're going to try to fight it in court and
keep our business open," Marzke said. "We'll do every-
thing in our right to make sure the lease is enforced."
The owner of Gator Cuts, the third business in dispute,
refused to comment. -


New building designs

meet higher standards

SUSTAINABILITY, from page 1

and more courses in sustainability, Thiele said.
UF is also designing buildings that meet standards
for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
Current buildings on campus with the LEED design
include additions to the Florida Museum of Natural
History and the Levin College of Law. Rinker Hall was
also built with this design.
LEED standards will be used more in the future,
said Bahar Armaghani, project manager and quality
assurance coordinator in the facilities, planning and
construction division at UF.
"As of right now we have adopted LEED to do all
of our major building renovations and construction,"
Armaghani said. On average, buildings made to be
sustainable are 37-percent more efficient than those that
are not.
Rinker Hall cost an initial 7 percent more during
construction because it was built to be sustainable, but
that initial cost will be made up in 10 years, he said.
The facilities, planning and construction division has
an estimated $365 million in current projects.

Grads' financial aid

up for consideration


* THE GRADUATE STUDENT
COUNCIL WILL TALK TONIGHT.

By STEPHEN MAGRUDER
Alligator Writer
smagruder@alligator.org
Graduate students who receive
financial aid are encouraged to
come to tonight's Graduate Student
Council meeting to discuss their ex-
periences and offer suggestions for
improving the aid system.
The meeting is scheduled for
6:30 p.m. in Room C1-9 of the
Communicore building off Center
Drive, behind Shands at UE.
A liaison from the UF financial
aid office is expected to attend and
speak on the aid process.
Graduate student Lindsey
Collins said she and many of her
graduate friends have dealt with
a variety of complications when it
comes to receiving their money.
"I really do think graduate stu-
dents are in a different situation,"
Collins said.
One reason might be that gradu-
ate students must complete a waiver
to show how much aid they need,
whereas undergraduates do not.
"There seems to be lots of dis-
organization in the financial aid
process," Collins said.


"Sometimes it is the student's
fault, but I've noticed that a lot of
times it isn't."
Graduate students typically are
older than undergraduates, and
many occupy roles as teachers, re-
searchers and spouses in addition
to their roles as students.
"Graduate students who take
out loans depend on financial aid
- and timely disbursement as
much as undergraduates do, and
perhaps more so since they tend
to be less dependent on parents,
and sometimes have dependent
children
UF of their
Administration own," she
said.
"I have
talked to many graduate students
who have horror stories about
financial aid disbursements com-
ing weeks and months late, re-
sulting in late rent, car and utility
payments," Collins said. "Some
have said-that they have told pro-
spective graduate students that
UF is unreliable when it comes to
financial aid, and that if they need
aid to get by, UF might not be the
best place for them."
Financial aid officials were not
contacted Wednesday because at
the time of the story the office was
closed.

No AMcnev, MOc problems


Filmmakers need funds ff


ue Andres learned the diffi-
culties of Hollywood life the
hard way. Now all she wants
to do is give other people a start.
Andres started Student Upstart
Films in January, a student orga-
nization dedicated to all things
concerning the silver screen, from
production to print. The idea was
to get students interested in the
various aspects of filmmaking to
work together on their projects.
In mid-March, Andres made
Upstart's first request through
the Student Senate Allocations
Committee, asking for micro-
phones, lighting kits, a camera and
other basic film equipment.
While the $6,000 request
seemed reasonable to Andres,
Allocations Chairman Jason Lutin
felt differently.
Andres said Lutin informed
the group that Allocations did not
have the precedent to fund Upstart
for equipment. Instead, Lutin
suggested they borrow necessary
equipment from the university's
telecommunications department.
However, the department has
barely enough equipment for its
own students, much less some
new student group, Andres said.
"Allocations doesn't under-
stand we don't have access to
equipment," Andres said, "pe-
riod."
After a few compromises,
Upstart approached the Student
Senate with a bill requesting a por-


table hard drive for editing pur-
poses and money to make copies.
Although a few senators spoke in
favor of funding the organization,
the bill was passed as-is, without
the extra funds, April 19.
While it may seem odd that
an organization with some Senate
support doesn't receive more
funding, the decision is not an easy
one to make.
SG Treasurer Lindsay Cosimi
said it is difficult to determine how
much each organization should
receive, while remaining fair to
the others, especially in the case of
new organizations.
"Many new organizations
are what we call 'narrow-focus
groups,'" Cosimi said.
Narrow-focus groups are orga-
nizations that appear promising at
first, but drop in membership over
time, Cosimi explained. Once the
founder of the organization leaves,
the group fizzles.
"We look for growth in an orga-
nization," Cosimi said. "We look
for growth in membership, pro-
gramming, planned speakers."
Cosimi said the best example of
a rags-to-riches student organiza-
tion was the National Organization
for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
Although NORML began as a
small organization with little
funding, in about a year it became
one of the largest student organi-.
zations on campus.
"They really branched out,"

If this its the example Up-tart
needs to follow, Andres said she
feels they are already on their way.
"We already have 200 people
on our listserv," Andres said. "So
many people at UF are interested
in film, from all different [majors].
We have members from liberal arts
and aerospace engineering."

gas station on Archer Road and
Southwest 34th Street.
As with any new organization,
only time will tell whether or not
Upstart will survive. However,


Andres is confident Upstart offers
enough appeal to students to keep
the club going.
"Video production is connected
to so many fields," Andres said.
"Knowing how to convey ideas on
film is a very beneficial skill."


Controversial 'Bodies' art exhibit educates, awes


In the soft lighting and quiet of the Museum
of Science & Industry, a young girl ques-
tioned her father.
"That's a heart?" she asked.
It doesn't look like the hearts on playing
cards or the heart that beats from a cartoon
character's chest.
The heart is in a display case with a short
description beside it, explaining how the awk-
wardly shaped muscle once pumped blood
through a human's body.
Such revelations are the purpose of

Band rocks


past age crisis

Some bands will give you a phone interview
from their drunken post-show party. The Mid
Life Crisis Band gives you one from their
niece's baseball game.
Mark Chirico and Greg Smith, both lead guitar-
ists and vocalists, say the reason for the name of
their band is simple: It's completely true.
"We're definitely a mid life crisis band," said
Chirico in a phone interview amid cheering at a
local ballpark in Union, N.J.
"All of us are, I guess, in our 40s except for one
of us that just crossed the great divide (into 50),"
said Smith, in a separate interview.
The Gainesville band, which specializes in
blues, classic and southern rock covers, is playing
at Calico Jack's on Sept. 23.
Outside of the band, the four members lead
typical lives.
They all have wives and children except for


drummer Larry
Thompson, the
only full-time
musician in the


Playlist band.
theavenue@alligator.org AGainesville
resident since
Tom Petty and
Don Felder of the Eagles were locals, Thompson is
also in Dbl Wide and Killer Bees.
The rest of the band members are not quite
Doctor Feelgoods at their full-time jobs.
Chirico is a pharmacist, Smith is an X-ray repair
technician and bassist Tony Gray is a nurse anes-
thetist.
When they play, Chirico says, "We bring every-
body with us from the hospital in town."
Supportive friends, wives and kids are also at
their shows.
Chirico's son's band, The Fantasmics, even
plays in between The Mid Life Crisis Band's sets.
They play band and crowd favorites including
Lynyrd Skynyrd and Stevie Ray Vaughan covers.
They also play two originals, "Brand New Start"
and "Going Down to Georgia."
They aren't strangers to song requests, though
"sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't,"
said Smith.
A list of The Mid Life Crisis Band's songs and-
upcoming shows can be found on their Web site,
www.mlcrisisband.com


Sister Hazel performed at the Phillips Center for the Performing Arts on Friday night. The band, whose loyal
following refers to themselves as "Hazlenuts," performs regularly to stay in touch with fans.


Gainesville keeps nightlife new


although going to the same place,
listening to the same music and
seeing the same people is always
nice, sometimes change is good too.
As luck would have it, Gainesville's
nightlife is constantly changing, so there's
no excuse for a repetitive nightlife.
Those who look for new places,
Gainesville has two downtown club open-
ings to look forward to in the next couple of
weeks. Both are different and appealing.
The former location of Simon's, 8 S
Main St., will soon be home to Rehab, a
chic nightclub with a dance floor, lounge
and upstairs cabana bar called Moonshine.
Club manager and part-owner of Rue
Bar, Jason Mitow, said it has been com-


pletely redone and will feature padded
walls, mosaics, a $20,000 hanging fish tank,
plasma TVs and a "killer sound system."
The rooftop bar was redone with a "real
Miami flavor" and a floor

getting stuck, he said. -
The club's big rap
and R&B nights will be
Friday and will have
various themes includ-
ing rock and '80s throughout the week.
Rehab and Moonshine should be open
within two weeks.
"It should be pretty crazy," Mitow said.
A slightly more low-key venue to look


out for is That Bar, by the owner of down-
town's That Burrito & Smoothie Place,
Chuck Owens.
That Bar, on 110 S Main St. where
Kresser's Deli used
to be, will be a casual

and hamburgers until 3
a.m. in hopes of giving
more options to people. who like to eat late,
Owens said.
That Bar will also have live acoustic mu-
sic to complement its casual atmosphere. It
is scheduled to open Monday, Oct. 3.

GAINESVILLE AIRSHOW

Blue Angels, stunt flyers soar for Katrina victims


By BRETT KELMAN
Avenue writer
It is not every day that F-18s descend on
Gainesville.
This weekend they will, as the U.S.
Navy's Blue Angels soar through the skies
at Gainesville Regional Airport as part of the
first annual Heart of Florida Airshow.
The show will include low-level aerobat-
ics routines, a fully restored B-25 Mitchell
Bomber and Otto the clown helicopter. Gates
open at 10 a.m. Saturday and Sunday; tickets
cost $15.
The airshow has been made pos-
sible by the Gainesville Regional Airshow
Consortium Inc., which made a five-year
commitment to establish the show as the
premier aviation sporting event in North
Central Florida.
The show will raise money for several lo-


cal charities and Hurricane Katrina victims to have the Blue Angels," said Christy

In 1946, Alison resigned from the Air
Force as a colonel, only to re-enlist in 1950
for the Korean War. Alison was inducted into
the Air Commando Hall of Fame in 1994.
Along with the Blue Angels, the airshow
will feature Olympic-level aerobatic flyer
Patty Wagstaff. Wagstaff has built a reputa-
tion as "The First Lady of Aerobatics" and is
famous for an unparalleled display of daring
low-level flying.
Patty Wagstaff Airshows Inc. is based in
St. Augustine.
"It is kind of neat to be flying so close to

Monday. "They rarely have them in your
backyard."
Wagstaff is the first woman to win the
title of U.S. National Aerobatic Champion
and has performed in airshows on five con-
tinents.
"I'm really working on Antarctica," she
joked.


Local electronic music scene thrives in rock domain


Gainesville Rock City. That's
us, right?
Not anymore, at least if
Christopher Miller has his way.
Miller is the head of Electronic
SubSouth, a small collective dedicat-
ed to fostering a successful live elec-
tronic music scene in Gainesville.
That's all well and good, but isn't
it an act of futility in a town best
known in the music community as
the home of seminal punk label No
Idea Records? Wrong again, said
Miller.
"The fans and the interest in the
music are already here. The problem
is the lack of venues which are will-


ing to host such events or bring elec-
tronic acts into town," he said.
Chris Kolodziej, of local elec-
tronic act On*tic, agrees.
"The fans come in droves," he
said. "I've even met people from the
Orlando and Tampa areas that drive
all that way just to see the locals."
Two venues not falling into
that category are The Atlantic,
which has hosted several ESS
shows, and The Side Bar, soon to
be home to a monthly electronic
music showcase beginning Sept.
28. But Miller's plans stretch
beyond increasing the volume of
events SubSouth has lined up for


the next few months.
"UP has had an electro-acoustic
music scene for over a decade, and
I'd like to figure out a way to partner
with that. There is also the possibil-
ity of an electro-
clash-themed
night at a newer
downtown ven-
ue," he said'-
music has a few
barriers to over-
come before it can really take off in
Gainesville. Dave LeBleu of Textual,
another local electronic act, said he
believes electronic musicians need


to put on more of a show to pull in a
bigger audience..
"There needs to be more of an
.actual visual or live experience as
opposed to just a few people sit-
ting behind their
laptops," LeBleu
Matt Clear said. SubSouth
Playlist is also looking
theavenue@alligator.org for musicians to
have "more of
a performance-
based element to
their live shows."
For this to happen, and for
new electronic acts to flourish in
Gainesville, a strong support system


needs to be in place. With SubSouth,
these factors have now come togeth-
er and the scene can only continue
to grow.
"It's the ultimate networking
tool for musicians and fans," said
Kolodziej.
Perhaps the next big thing to
come out of Gainesville will eschew
guitars and drums for a laptop and
a synthesizer. If that's the case, it
could happen because of SubSouth
and the dedicated community
of musicians and fans they have
helped bring together.

Earplugs preserve quality


By MARIA LAVERGHETTA
Avenue Writer


I If you've ever used the cheap, yellow foam
earplugs, you're well aware that sound chang-
es in the process.
Although earplugs protect your ears from
the damage caused by loud speakers at a bar,
they distort the quality of music, said John
Wiseheart, a local audiologist.
Research shows that custom-made musi-
cian earplugs can help the listener or musician
hear the quality of the music better without
damaging their ear, Wiseheart said.
The musician earplugs can either be custom
made for your ear, which cost about $150, or
can be non-custom for $15 to $20.
"Sixty percent of the inductees into the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame have hearing impair-
ment," Wiseheart said.
Normal conversation uses about 60 decibels
of sound, but the level of the ear's resources
that are used increases exponentially by every
added decibel, Wiseheart.
If you are at a rock concert, which is about
112 decibels on average, you could listen for
an hour and 25 minutes with the musician
ear plugs instead of only listening for five
minutes without causing muffled hear-
ing, ringing in your ears, or with repeated
exposure, permanent hearing loss, accord-
ing to the Etymotic Research, Inc. Web site,
www.etymotic.com.
Because the older earplugs protect against
higher-frequency sounds, the music is not
heard as well, Wiseheart said.
"It's like someone just turning the volume


down," he said. "The older, yellow earplugs
are great if you want maximum attenuation
or protection but not if you want to enjoy the
music."
Rashon Medlock, a local singer and gradu-
ate of the UF School of Music, said he sees this.
as arbitrary.
"In Gainesville, pretty much everybody,
plays as loud as they can anyway," he said.
"The quality of earplug would really only mat-
ter if you were a serious concert patron."
However, other local musicians who play
in the brass section feel as though this is an
important investment.
Dakeyan "Dre" Graham, a music education
major at UF and saxophone player in the UF
Jazz Ensemble, said the older earplugs are not
helpful when he uses them during his perfor-
mances.
"They block out the sound," he said. "They
don't allow you to tune as well as you could
because you can't use all the resources of your
ears."
Erik Augereau, a trombonist at UF, doesn't
use earplugs but understands why other play-
ers use them.
"I sit in the back, so I never use earplugs,"
he said. "There are even orchestras which-
have Plexiglass shields between the brass and
strings to protect them."
Due to the benefits of the musician ear
plugs, musicians of all kinds, including march-
ing bands and sound crews, are encouraged to
wear them. Any protection is better than none
at all though, Wiseheart said.
"People don't appreciate how easy it is to
lose your hearing," he said.


Pool keeps fun cheap


S plit between four friends,
a mere $1.63 will cover an
hour of hearty billiards fun at
Silver-Q Billiards and Sports Bar.
You don't have to pay to the door and
there's usually no line. That's a great
way to start any night.
Sure, the initial onslaught of smoke
is a little overwhelming, but it's a
pool hall. Even if no
one was smoking,
management would
most likely conjure
up artificial smoke
to be in accordance
with unspoken
rules for the pool-
hall atmosphere.
With 13 billiard tables, there's often no
wait. Simply trade your ID for a rack of
balls and pick a table.
Iliketogoupstairswherefewertables
means fewer people have the opportu-
nity to see me scratch every other shot.
Sabotage your competitive friend with
devious distraction tactics. Stir up
musketeer-like duels with your sticks
between shots. Challenge the big guy
to limbo.
Possibilities are limitless,
even for the fickle pool player.
The bar offers fast and friendly ser-


vice. Just don't put your cup on the
pool table they don't like that.
Even if pool isn't your thing, you can
shoot hoops, play air hockey, football or
watch something sports-related on TV.
Don't avoid Silver-Q just because
you don't know how to play pool.
They don't make you sign a statement
at the door stating your affinity or your
pool intentions.
Find others like
Diana Jo yourself and be ter-
Godfrey rible together. Get
Cheap Beat that cute guy or girl
theavenue@alligator.org to show you how to
line up a shot. You
may surprise your-
self and be decent. Even lucky shots
feel good.
As you call your eight-ball pocket,
consider the greats who played before
you. English and French royalty used
to play billiards much like CEOs and
salesmen play golf today. Mary,Queen
of Scots enjoyed billiards so much
she was wrapped in the cloth from
her table after she was beheaded.
When you're looking for a chill night
with friends or decide the line at :08
is too long, walk next door to Silver-Q,
225 W University Ave., for a good time.
Cover is free, service is fast, and you
only dance if you want to.

AUDIOLOGY o

CDs play upbeat, retro


Minus the Bear
Menos el Oso
Suicide Squeeze


WThe Seattle quintet is noto-
rious for its comedy song
titles, but just because this album doesn't
boast anything quite as ridiculous as
"Thanks for the Killer Game of Crisco
Twister" doesn't mean they've decided
to drastically change their sound. "Menos
el Oso" follows the same blueprint that
made 2002's "Highly Refined Pirates"
a success jerky, post-punk rhythms
melded to electronic flourishes and seri-
ous lyrics which belie the silly song titles.
It's a formula which is particularly suc-
cessful on more upbeat, danceable tracks
like "The Fix" and "Pachuca Sunrise,"
although there is sadly nothing to match
"Highly Refined Pirates."
However, Minus the Bear's problem
has always been making its songs catchy
enough to stick in listeners' heads, and
"Menos el Oso" is no different the
unexpected time changes and the uncon-
ventional vocals of Jake Snider give the
record a certain initial level of inaccessibil-
ity. If given enough time to grow on you,
these elements can become the album's
strengths.
"Menos el Oso" is a solid record. MTB
fans will love it, but newcomers might
want to try the slightly superior "Highly
Refined Pirates" first.


The Coral
The Invisible Invasion
Sony/BMG


l Being from Liverpool can
be something of a handicap
for a band; it means that reviewers almost
invariably find some way to mention The
B--s. Luckily for the Coral, it bears no
musical resemblance.
That doesn't mean the band doesn't
look to the past for inspiration. A good
portion of the album's harmonies and gui-
tar licks are reminiscent of '60s surf pop,
often providing us with the album's best
moments propulsive opening track
"She Sings the Mourning" in particular.
But the Coral isn't just a one-trick
pony. Lead single "In the Morning," quite
rightly a hit in the band's native UK, is the
very essence of chilled-out summery pop
"The Operator" features a fantastic mock-
spooky keyboard line, and on "So Long
Ago" and "Late Afternoon," the guitar
melodies and softer vocal style (although
not the vocals themselves) recall some of
Belle &Sebastian's more upbeat numbers.
It's debatable whether this album with
its strong tendency toward the retro, will
have a lasting impact. But before the '60s
plundering begins to wear a little thin,
it undoubtedly will provide great enjoy-
ment for those looking to keep the spirit of
summer alive.

SThe Future's 8o 1Bright

The future's so bright for us at UF, we have
to wear shades.
Designer couture has taken eye protection
to a whole new level. Not only do your knick-
ers have to be up to
par, but somebody's
also looking at your
eyewear from be-
hind theirs.
The style that
'was once cute and
petite or cat-eyed is
now rocking the old
school way big,
flashy and aviator.
If the eyes are
the windows to the
soul, what happens
if you're wearing
sunglasses?
I guess you're in-
cognito, you sneaky
devils.


Slummy style creates sex-life strain


My ex-boyfriend used to say he
liked taking me out to show
me off. I would wish I could
say the same.
Who wants to be shown off by a guy
whose clothes have more holes than
my fishnet stockings and buttcheeks
that peek out when he bends over?
In nature, men are the ones who are
supposed to show off.
They always have the most beauti-
ful features the male cardinal with
his brilliant red, the mallard duck with
his iridescent green, the lion with his
regal mane.
When in the evolutionary chain did
this gene disappear?
Now guys show off by competing to
see whose boxers hang out the most.
I've come to rely on healthy skepti-
cism in the beginning of a relationship
when guys tend to look their best to
win our affection.
It's not real because once they get
you after a few months, their true
style' re-emerges. Thus, you see the
paper-thin, grease-laden, pit-stained,


seethrough, once-was-white-now-is-
grey cotton T-shirt increasingly in his
wardrobe repertoire.
The clothes he used to wear he con-
siders his nice clothes, and they hang
in the closet for special occasions that
never happen.
Sure, you have a few apples who fall
far from the tree, but
for the most part, men
have turned into total
schlubs.
When did this
become OK? Because
it's not just a phase,.
it's the norm.
Women accept guys who don't care,
and the worst thing is we continue to
let them get away with it.
You've seen the mismatched couples
- the princess and the pea, the beauty
and the beast, the fair and the frog, the-
radiant and the rabid.
Why should you take the time
to look adorable if your guy walks
around wearing the same clothes to
toss the football, play X-Box, and club
hop with you and his buddies?


Please note there is a huge dis-
tinction between a guy whose look is
scruffy and the guy who just doesn't
care.
You can tell the difference. It's one
thing to be comfortable but another to
be lazy.
Some of you may consider this ma-
terialistic and vain,
Christine but it's not; it's pride
Steffens a completely dif-
Fashion a Go-Go ferent sin.
theavenue@alligator.org So, what can you
do?
I'm not here to
play devil's advocate, but a friend of
mine once withheld sex from her boy-
friend until he cleaned up his act.
He let himself go after they started
dating, but once he shaved, sprinkled
on some cologne and rid himself of his
beer belly, she had her first non-self-
stimulated orgasm in six months.
Not to say you should do the same,
but let's get the creative juices flowing.
We cannot accept less. If we see it,
let's take action; women unite.
Ladies, it's time to stop settling.

McDonald injury thrusts Cohen into starting role


By IAN FISHER
Alligator Staff Writer
ifisher@alligator.org

For defensive end Joe Cohen, a
year made a huge difference.
Last year, he started 12 games at
end before taking a backseat to Ray
McDonald.
Now with McDonald out four to
six weeks with a partially torn ACL,
Cohen is back starting at end.
"Me, personally, I don't
think I should have been
starting last year."
Joe Cohen
UF defensive end

Starting every game last season,
Cohen failed to record a single sack.
He's the first to admit that he was
ineffective.
"Me, personally, I don't think I
should have been starting last year,"
Cohen said. "I still had a ways to
go at D-end. I still was way off on
my technique. I just needed more
work."
Cohen, a fullback before switch-
ing to defense, hadn't played on
the defensive line since ninth or
10th grade. No wonder he lacked
technique.

UF FOOTBALL


"He was a running back," fel-
low defensive end Jeremy Mincey
said. "That's the running back state
of mind: 'I want to get the ball and
run.'
"He used to pass rush like he was
running the ball sometimes."
Not anymore.
Cohen is finally getting the de-
fensive mindset, Mincey said.
Although Cohen only has one
tackle this season, Coach Urban
Meyer graded him one of four de-
fensive champions after his perfor-
mance against Louisiana Tech, even
before McDonald was injured.
"He's a guy that didn't practice
real well around here for a while,"
Meyer said. "Even before Ray's
injury, he was making a big push
about three or four weeks ago."
With McDonald gone, that push
is going to have to be harder.
Cohen will start at end with
redshirt freshman Derrick Harvey
backing him up until McDonald can
return.
But Cohen doesn't see it as a
chance to prove himself; he'd rather
have McDonald playing.
"I try not to look at it that way,"
he said. "I wish Ray was out there
with us. But so far this year I've been
trying to establish myself in second

Portis, Thornton may see playing time against Kentucky


* POOR BALL PROTECTION HAS
KEPT RESERVES ON BENCH.

By BRYAN APP and
ANDREW ABRAMSON
Alligator Staff Writers

After earning a nod to start the season
opener against Wyoming, tailback Skyler
Thornton has apparently fallen out of Coach


Urban Meyer's good graces due to ball-han-
dling issues.
Thornton didn't play a down against
Tennessee but could see a limited role against
Kentucky on Saturday.
"He dropped the ball as well," Meyer
said. "He and Markus [Manson] had a little
ball-security issue. Skyler's getting a little
better. He had a very good week. We might
see a little more Skyler this week."
Quarterback Josh Portis also didn't play
against Tennessee due to Meyer's lack of


confidence in the freshman's ball-handling
ability.
"Are you kidding me?" said Meyer regard-
ing whether Portis' ball-handling contributed
to his lack of playing time in the 16-7 UF win
against the Volunteers.
"You lose that game if we turn the ball
over."
But Portis seems to be improving in
practices and should play in Lexington on
Saturday, Meyer said.
"There's a plan [to play Portis]," Meyer,


said. "He's doing a little bit of a better job this
week. We have a plan, and I think you guys
know what it is to take care of the football
and get in the game."

LOW OUTPUT: While UF's defense continues
to receive praise, Meyer's offense has re-
ceived a bit of criticism.
UF's offense considered one of the best
in the nation heading into the season is cur-

Gators must return to special teams glory; give Dee a chance


It certainly didn't happen in 2004. Tack on a big negative
in that stat category for 2003. 2002? Fat chance, and if you
see a trend developing you might as well just skip 2001.
"Come on," you must be saying, "what stat category do the
Gators have a big goose egg in dating back till 2000?"
The last time UF had a punt return or kick return for a
touchdown was when Lito Sheppard took a pair of punts to
pay dirt back when Steve Spurrier was the 01' Ball Coach five
years ago.
One of Zooker's many, many problems was the special
teams play. How many games were there that a special teams'
touchdown could have ignited the Gators? Not only would


it have re-energized a team in disar-
ray, but imagine how a game changing
play can put a 10,000-watt charge into
a sideline, coaching staff, stadium and
fan base. Just one play in four of the
Gators' five losses could have been the
Eric Esteban difference in Ron Zook retaining em-
Tenacious E ployment through 2005.
eesteban@alligator.org I don't go by the moniker of Silky
Johnson, but hating on a 3-0 team might
just be worthy of an induction to the
belated Chapelle's Show's Player Hater's Ball.


However, the question begs to be answered: why have
Florida's special teams tanked harder than a ludicrous
Alligator editorialist's Tuesday column stating that "Chris
Leak is a bad player?"
It can't be the athletes. With a talent-rich state waiting to
be plundered by Coach Urban Meyer's recruiting, there's no
reason for a capable, play-making athlete not to be in the back
throwing down the jukes NCAA Football 2006 style. Miami
has Devin Hester and Florida State has flashy freshman Fred
Rouse, but Meyer's returned so far has been flat.

UF FOOTBALL

0-line struggles to adapt


* AFTER GIVING UP FIVE SACKS TO
TENNESSEE, UF'S OFFENSIVE LINE IS
TRYING TO REGROUP.

By FARZAD SAFI
Alligator Staff Writer
fsafi@alligator.org

While most of Gainesville celebrated UF's
win against Tennessee last weekend, two
Gators could hardly enjoy themselves.
"'Seniors Mike Degory and Randy Hand
went straight home Saturday night, because
they were too angry to party.
The Tennessee defensive line sacked quar-
terback Chris Leak five times, stuffed the
Gators on a 4th-and-inches play and domi-
nated UF's offensive line for most of the night.
"Mike and I were disgusted after the
Tennessee game," Hand said. "We were mad
because beating them was one of the biggest
wins of our career and we played poorly."
But was the Gators' offensive line that bad,
or was Tennessee's defensive line that good?
"Tennessee had amazing talent on the de-
fensive line," Coach Urban Meyer said. "They
had three seniors, and all three of those guys
are going to be making a bunch of money play-
ing in the NFL next year."
Regardless, Degory believes that the offen-
sive line did not show up to play.
"Up front, that was one of the worst games
I've ever been associated with," he said.
How could a unit led by four experienced
seniors be one of the last to adapt to the new
offense?
Meyer and the players have different ex-
planations for the latest dilemma with the
offense.
"I don't think it was a lack of courage or a
lack of talent with the offensive line," Meyer
said. "I think it's a lack of technique."


"We've spent so much time focusing on
scheme," he said. "Right now, we need to fo-
cus on the fundamentals. Those guys need to
work on their base footwork and hand place-
ment, because they looked awful on film."
Meyer has changed how the offensive line
has been practicing this. week. Tight ends
coach Steve Addazio has been assigned to
work specifically with the tackles.
Sophomore tight end Tate Casey may also
see his role change in the offense until the play
of the line improves.
"I'm happy spending most of my time on
the field blocking," Casey said. "A tight end
makes his living off of blocking. Whatever
catches he makes are just bonuses."
While Meyer believes the problem is due
to a lack of fundamentals, one of the starters
thinks it's the new system.
"It's a new offense for us too," Hand said.
"The tackles have a lot more responsibility this
year because we have to make more reads.
Last year, we only had to go one way and
block somebody."
As long as the offensive line continues to
struggle, the entire offense will suffer.
Following a 247-yard performance against
Tennessee, the Gators rank seventh in the
Southeastern Conference and 60th in the na-
tion in total offense.
Meyer admitted that he has had to limit a
lot of his play calling due to the line's errors.
Conveniently, the offensive line has an ex-
cellent opportunity to boost its self-esteem this
week against injury-riddled Kentucky.
The Wildcats have the worst rushing de-
fense in the SEC, allowing 223.7 yards per
game.
"I'd be all for running the ball 50 times this
week against Kentucky to get the bugs Out the
system," Hand said. "We need to get at least
150 yards rushing to be satisfied though."

team so it really doesn't make any
difference. I just know when I'm in
there now, I'm going 110 [percent],
giving all I've got."


Mincey has noticed that too.
"I feel good about Derrick
Harvey and Joe Cohen," he said.
"Harvey's young, but the more he
plays, the more snaps he gets, the
better he can get."
Mincey said he's confident about
Cohen, and their position coach


agreed.
"I'm not worried at all about Joe
Cohen," defensive line coach Greg
Mattison said. "Joe Cohen since day
one has been a starter for us. He's
been a starter. He's like everyone
else."
Mincey credited Mattison with


helping Cohen catch on and im-
proving his technique.
But that's not even the biggest
change in Cohen this year.
What is the main difference since
Cohen's sub-par 2004 campaign?
"I think it's his hunger for the
game," Mincey said. "Last year, he


didn't like defense as much.
"Now he's taking pride in what
he's doing, and it's making him a
better player."
How much better?
"I feel I'm more ready now than
I've ever been," Cohen said.


Gators' offense 'not very pretty'


FOOTBALL, from page 23

rently ranked just seventh in the SEC.
.On Wednesday, Meyer said the
criticism is warranted.
"They should be critical, [the of-
fense is] not very pretty," Meyer said.
"What you can't be critical about is
field position and ball security. [But]
we're here to score points."
Some Heisman watch lists continue
to rank quarterback Chris Leak in the
top five several as high as No. 3
- but there are critics who believe
Leak simply isn't suited for Meyer's
option offense.
"I think it's a combination [of peo-
ple not stepping up]," Meyer said.:
"It's not [just] Chris Leak. It's a


group of 11 people doing the jobs, and
right now they're not; it's a breakdown
here and there."

O-LINE WOES: After allowing five
sacks against Tennessee, the Gators'
offensive line could experience more
problems with an injury to offensive
guard Tavares Washington.
Coach Urban Meyer said
Washington is suffering from a sore
elbow after possibly hyper-extending
it against the Volunteers.
Freshman Jim Tartt, who has played
only as a reserve in one game this sea-
son while recovering from a shoulder
injury is receiving more practice reps
at guard, Meyer said.


Lb I LsAN, from page 23


Senior corner 'back Vernell Brown has
played beyond lights out and Meyer calling
him "The face of Florida Football" speaks
volumes of how far the Gainesville native
has come. While Meyer praised him during
fall and spring practice, I didn't buy into it.
I was busy sipping the Reggie Nelson Kool-
Aid, and yes, he has proven to be the Real
Deal Holyfield, I thought Nelson would be
starting by LSU. Brown's play speaks for it-
self-his 18 tackles leads the Gators and he
also has an interception, but his job at punt
returned has been nauseating at best. UF is


dead last in the Southeastern Conference in
punt returns and 101st in the nation, and
Brown's 13 returns for 57 yards, a 4.4-yard
average, is not what Meyer could have pos-
sibly imagined.
The proposed solution is simple. For
those that were lucky enough to see his
recruiting film back in the day, Dee Webb
could only be described as a game breaker
while returning punts at Jacksonville's Ed
White High. Already one of the fastest
guys on the team, Webb showcased and
harnessed that speed in the spring when he
competed with the track team on top of his
rigorous football and academic schedule.
All I am saying is, give Dee-a chance.

His dirty brown hair flaring into
a puffy tuft, No. 39 and his modest
physique trots off the practice field.
Could he be a walk-on punter?
Perhaps one of UF's water boys has

This is no football Joe-Schmo. He is
redshirt sophomore Chris Hetland,

"All the hard work is paying

Self-made kicker
Rewind seven years. Location:
Lee County High in Leesburg, Ga.
Hetland, a freshman, a bona fide so-
cer center/midfielder and a middle
school linebacker/defensive back is
getting cocky. He thinks he can kick
a football.
"As far as soccer went, he was
probably the best ball distributor
I had ever seen from the middle,"
father Randy said. "He was a
playmaker, and he could put the
ball wherever he needed. So when
he saw football, he said, 'I can do
that.'"
Solid and always improving,
Randy saw potential in the mid-
fielder.
An engineer and soccer guru
himself, Randy, despite having,
never kicked a football in his'
life, became Hetland's coach.
They bought kicking books, at-
tended kicking classes and camps
- including UF camps after his
freshman and sophomore seasons
- bought kicking tapes, then made
kicking tapes of their own.
"We've grown. together,"
Hetland said. "I mean, I didn't
know a whole lot about kicking.
I just kicked the soccer ball, and
then I would kind of go up there
and kick the football. We taught
each other and we learned from
each other. We kind of put things
together and molded."
Soon the two became experts.
'Hetland finished his senior season
3-for-3 from beyond 50 yards.
His college search was anything
but a touchdown. No one wanted
him except small schools. Handful
of decent colleges asked Hetland to
walk-on. Then came the ultimatum.
Hefland demanded to kick for a
Southeastern Conference school,
specifically UF or Georgia.
Lucky for him, "[Ron] Zook
called him at the last moment,
and so he ended up coming here,"
Randy said.


Try the new food at Crispers...it's HOT! __.
Most of us don't remember our college years as being times of transcendent culinary experience

belly bomb sub sandwich that provoked a three-day gastrointestinal meltdown.


Those days are over. Now, there are new gourmet creations from Crispers...

Almost lost in the shuffle
Recruited by Steve Spurrier,
yet stuck behind a bevy of kick-
ers when Zook took over, Hetland
waited, watched and maintained
his kicking regimen with his father.
But Zook noticed a little some-
thing about Hetland.
Despite the fact that Matt Leach
became the entrenched starter,
Hetland secured a back-up role and
a promise: After Leach graduates,
it's your job.
"And so when Zook got canned,
that sort of created some anxiety
because we didn't know what a
new coach would do," Randy said.
"Sure enough, when Coach [Urban]
Meyer came, in, he recruited
[Jonathan] Phillips."
Faced with more adversity than
ever, coupled with the fact that pay-

Hetland nailed field goal attempts
of 40 and 47 yards in his season
opener against Wyoming. Still, gos-
sip abounded about Hetland's two
muffed extra points.
"It put things in perspective
and got me even more focused,"
Hetland said.
Did it ever. In his first-ever ac-
tion against an SEC team, Hetland
froze Tennessee with his bionic
foot.
Converting on all three field
goals of 38, 35 and 20 yards,
Hetland single-handedly booted
the Volunteers back to Knoxville
with a 16-7 loss.

UF VOLLEYBALL

Gators to enter lull in schedule


Luanne Dietz/ Alligator
Rhian Davis and the Gators must carry momentum into SEC
play. Davis has responded well to increased playing time.


* UF HEADS INTO SEC PLAY
RANKED NO. 6.

By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer

Complacency is a word that
always makes coaches cringe, and
Mary Wise is no exception.
While the Gators' exited their
non-conference schedule with a 9-1
mark, including a victory against ri-
val Southern California, Wise wants
her players to continue progress-
ing the way they have through the
season's first month. "-
"As a coach you're always look-
ing to the future and what more
they can learn," Wise said. "'Every
time they learn something we want
to give them something else, so they
may never feel like they can ever ac-
complish everything. Because every
time they get something we're go-
ing to add something to it."
UF is now entering a stretch of its
season that could hardly be consid-
ered daunting.
Currently ranked No. 6 in the na-
tion, the Gators aren't scheduled to
play another team in the Top 25 for
the remainder of the season.


Perhaps UF's toughest remain-
ing competition is Tennessee, which
is currently receiving the most votes
of any unranked team.
The Volunteers defeated the
Gators twice last season the
first win breaking UF's streak of
145 consecutive regular season
Southeastern Conference wins,,
and the second to take the SEC
Tournament crown.
"It's like the light has come
on for Rhian. Understand that
she is incredibly fast, and
now has a better understand-
ing of the game."
Mary Wise
UF coach


Wise, however, wants to keep the
Gators focused on the next task.
"I just told the players we're 0-0."

BACK-ROW BREAKOUT: After play-
ing sparingly her first two seasons,
Rhian Davis has emerged as a ma-
jor defensive contributor for the
Gators throughout the season's first
month.
She has seen the court in every


match and has eclipsed 10 digs
three times, including a season high
15 against Florida State Monday
night.
That effort was just shy of her
career high of 17 against Minnesota
in 2004.
"It's like the light has' come on
for Rhian," Wise said. "Understand
that she is incredibly fast, and now
has a better understanding of thet
game in a position she's never
played before.
"She's really a lot more comfort-
able, and thus able to get a whole lot
more balls."

PACKING THE HOUSE: According to
the Division I Volleyball Attendance
Report, the Gators have the sixth-
highest average home-match atten-
dance in the nation.
. UF has been ranked in the na-
tional top-10 in attendance each of
the last 14 years.
The Gators are averaging 2,376
fans per game, and their total at-
tendance of 16,635 for seven home
matches so far ranks behind only
Hawaii.
UF is the only school in either the
SEC or on the east coast ranked in
the top 20.

By STEPHEN MAGRUDER Alligator Writer snagruder@allgator.org UF's classrooms, residence halls and student union have received final inspections to ensure their fire alarms are in top working order before the city of Gainesville begins charging the university for false alarms Oct. 1. Gainesville's False Fire Alarm Ordinance will fine all residents and business owners inside city limits who cause multiple false fire alanns. The ordinance is modeled after a sinilar law regarding burglar alanns in 2000. A false fire alarm occurs when the fire department responds and later determines no real emergency existed. "Our hope is just to reduce the amount of "Our hope is just to reduce the amount of false fire alarms in the city." Shawna Traub Gainesville Fire Rescue spokeswoman false fire alarms in the city," said Gainesville Fire Rescue spokeswoman Shawna Traub. She said there are risks involved with false-alarm responses involving speeding fire engines moving through city traffic. "We respond as if it was a real fire," she said. "It puts everybody on the road at risk, and it also takes us out of service." GFR reports an average of 1,430 false fire alarms per year, costing the city $370,000. From 2001 to 2004, UF was the site of 860 false alarms, or 15 percent of Gainesville's total. SEE ALARMS, PAGE 8 G'AINESVILLE Tenants f e lawsauits for U,.Orners parking By JESSICA RIFFEL Alligator Writer jriffel@aigatororg There will be no free parking in the new University Corners if developers get their way. Three tenants are disputing the $180-million project because parking fees may inhibit business. The Brick Oven Pizza and Pasta Company has filed a lawsuit. "I think that most college students wouldn't pay to park," owner Ryan McGuinness said. There is free parking now for customers of Gator Plaza, the development at University Avenue and 13th Street, but the proposed change is prompting tenant Maui Teriyaki to file a lawsuit as well. "This is only going to be for the rich," owner Steve Marzke said. "People in Gainesville will not pay to park. This is a fiasco. This is not South Beach." He does not plan to be a part of 'the new University Corners because of the charge for parking, as well as the higher rent. % "We intended to be there until 2022 and beyond, but we don't want to be in the new shopping center," Marzke said. The new University Corners is planned to be a three-block commercial and residential complex, and developers said they hope to attract more unique stores and restaurants. Frank Darabi, the chief executive officer of University Corners LLC, the developer, said businesses can pay for their own customers' free parking. "That would all be worked out between the owner and the developer," Darabi said. However, Marzke said the charge for parking violates his lease. .SEE UCORNERS, PAGE 8 Norma Lizardo, a UF junior, serves Vanita Hensel at Maui Teriyaki. Restaurant owners fear that proposed parking costs in the University Corners development will deter their business. UF opens new office to better, further -Gator Nation By CASSIDY MILLS Alligator Contributing Writer UP has moved sustainability up on the priority list -all the way up to Tigert Hall. In hopes of meeting the needs of today's UFomunity and preserving resources for the next generation, UF has announced it will open an Office of Sustainability in the university's chief administrative building. "The Office of Sustainability symbolizes the importance of sustainability to UF and especially to the students," Faculty Senate Chairwoman Kim Tanzer said. Tanzer said the office, which the Faculty Senate initiated, should help coordinate the sustainability work On that is already going on at UF and help prepare Campus for more work in the future. The office will not officially open until November, when an executive director is hired, but some sustainability efforts are already underway. They include everything from advocating for living wages to the design of new buildings. The living-wage program was announced in 2000 for entrylevel employees. The current starting salary is $8.67 per hour. "It is important that we don't just pay people minimum wage. We need to provide them with enough money to live," said Les Thiele, a professor of political science and chair of the Cormmittee on Sustainability at UP. He called the office "a good idea whose time has come." Some results of increased sustainability practices on campus will be more recycling, a reduction of waste, greater efficiency of energy in buildings, greater interest in community service SEE SUSTAINABILITY, PAGE 8 "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" With his Southern drawl and frequent use of "ain't," Rick Bragg may not have given the impression of a man who won a Pulitzer Prize for feature writing in 1996 this week as a guest of the College of Journalism and Communications.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 3 ON CAMPUS PuliTzer winner visits college By BOBBY KEITH Alligator Contributing Writer Don't tell. Show. Journalists strive to achieve this goal in their writing, and some might say Rick Bragg has perfected it. Bragg was an official guest of the College of Journalism and Communications at UP this week, speaking to classrooms full of students eager for the opportunity to learn tips from a world-renowned author. "It's not about the craft. It's not about the money," Bragg said to the students. "It's about the adventures you have along the way." With his Southern drawl and frequent use of "ain't," Bragg may not give the impression of a man who won a Pulitzer Prize for feature writing in 1996. His jobs have taken him on a number of adventures. Just ask and he'll tell. Luanne uiexlz MAigatur Pulitzer-winning journalist Rick Bragg autographs his book at the College of Journalism and Communications on Monday. Starting at a small weekly newspaper in Alabama, Bragg honed his skills and became the premier feature writer for The New York Times. He has written stories about the Oklahoma City bombing, the race riots in Miami, the Elian Gonzalez crisis and the 2000 election. He even offered to "kiss a camel on the mouth" to write from the Middle East when he worked for the St. Petersburg Times. Luckily, he said, it didn't have to come to that. Bragg didn't just give the facts about events he covered; he focused on the people the facts affected. He has so many memorable news-feature stories that he filled a book with them -"Somebody Told Me." "I've been mad, hurt, so sick to my stomach in all my years of doing this," he said. "But I've never been bored." Bragg warned young writers about the hardships he encountered while being a journalist, and how starting out as a writer can be like being on the "tail end of a dragon." It's a job requiring more than determination -youth is also a necessity, he said. Bragg made national headlines in May 2003 when he resigned from The New York Times after using a stringer to assist him on a story without giving credit. He denied fault in the situation, saying it was a common practice at the paper at the time. While he no longer has a full-time feature-writing job, he writes occasional opinon pieces for various national publications. Master lecturer Mike Foley, who was an editor at the St. Petersburg Times when he hired Bragg as a reporter, introduced Bragg to many UF classes. Bragg now works as a professor of writing at the University of Alabama. He said he plans to write at least two more books. STUDY ABROAD IN PARIS: YES YOU CAN!

4, ALLIGATOR 0 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2005 PUBLIC SAFETY Police search for sex offender By STEPHANIE RODRIGUEZ Alligator Writer srodriguez@alligator.org A local registered sex offender violated probation Tuesday and became a fugitive, spurring law-enforcement agencies statewide to initiate a manhunt. Edgar Baughn Bird, 43, removed the monitoring device strapped to his ankle. Bird has a violent criminal history that includes robbery and child molestation, according to reports. "We are trying to do everything in our power to capture him," said Alachua County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Stephen Maynard. A statewide alert has been issued to locate Bird. Bird is a white male, approximately 5'11" and 240 pounds, according to the police report. A picture of Bird can be found at http://www.fdle.state.fl.us. His last known residence is 6805 SW 51st Ave. in Gainesville. Police are considering a reward for anyone who knows his whereabouts. Those with information may contact ASO at 955-1818. Callers wishing to remain anonymous can contact Crime Stoppers at 374-7867. MAGAZINE POSERS: Management at Lexington Crossing apartments sent out a notice of the dangers of door-to-door magazine vendors after Gainesville Police discovered that some of them were robbers. "If you don't know people, don't let them in your house," said GPD spokesman Sgt. Keith Kameg. "If you want to buy a magazine, call the company." Kameg advised residents to secure any sliding glass doors, as those are the easiest targets for robbers. With the several occupied-home burglaries of the past few weeks in two other apartment complexes, GPD is investigating whether both incidents are related. ATTEMPTED MURDER: A man tried to kill two North Florida Evaluation and Treatment Center employees because he was denied a request for changes to be made in his housing and counselor assignments at the facility, reports state. Ramon Sanchez, 35, kicked Cindy Hopson and Pamela Borders in the head repeatedly while threatening to kill them with a small knife if they didn't comply with his demands. Security officials at the facility were able to contain the situation. COCAINE POSSESSION: Two men were arrested for possession of 35 grams of cocaine near Joseph A. Williams Elementary School, 1245 SE Seventh Ave. Chauncey Presley, 26, and Michael Spann, 21, were in a white Buick when an officer approached the car because they were playing their music too loudly, according to reports. When the officer approached the car, he noticed that Spann, who smelled like marijuana, attempted to hide a "partially smoked cannabisfilled blunt" in his pants. As the officer called for backup because drugs were involved, Presley fled from the car, who was caught later. Police found baggies full of cocaine and $6,194 in the vehicle and suspect the cocaine was mainly for distribution.

6, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2005 Editorial Hasty acts Joe Goldberg makes damaging decision T he topic of today's editorial is close to home. However, with Student Goverrnent elections coming up, we feel it must be addressed. At Tuesday's Student Senate meeting, Student Body President Joe Goldberg issued an executive order prohibiting all SG agencies from advertising in the Alligator. We know we may not be able to step back from this enough to judge it in the right context. But we are the main newspaper covering the university, and we're going to take a shot at it. A section of the student body is upsct. Somehow, that has snowballed into SG deciding to remove itself from the entire student population. This move could be much more disastrous for UF students than for the Alligator. We'll take the bullet, but students shouldn't be hit in an all-encompassing drive-by. Goldberg's haste has punished the uninvolved. To find out what their tuition is buying, students will be forced to search online and around campus for SG events, rather than open up a readily available newspaper. We're not sure anyone will put in the effort. And does this mean SG agencies will'also be told not to speak to Alligator reporters about upcoming events? If so, we're sorry that the Alligator's news stories will lack the views and information from the SG officials who organize these student-funded activities. But don't get us wrong. We'd rather they cut their advertisements and talk to reporters than not talk at all. It irks us even more that Goldberg, the lead student who makes decisions on our behalf, has decided to break student statutes to make his point. He wants to take away all SG advertisements from the Alligator, but the statutes state that certain notices be placed in "the newspaper with the greatest circulation among University of Plorida students." Goldberg's assertion that the UF Wednesday Update and the SG Web site can fill this role is simply incorrect. If SG wanted to make this move, its statutes should have been changed. That way, Goldberg would not have broken SG rules, and officials would have had more time to think about making this big decision. Furthermore, senators would have had a say We can't tell how many were for this move and how many were against it. Goldberg announced his decision; he didn't ask for senators' input. When statutes are changed, however, the Student Senate has to vote. We don't know if Goldberg knew he was breaking rules, but this isn't the first time he has shown a disregard for the' laws that uphold Student Government. When he was senate president last Fall, Goldberg made several questionable moves. At one Senate meeting, he allowed a second meeting to convene directly afterward despite a Florida statute that states "reasonable notice" should be given for all such open, public meetings. At another session, several senators accused Goldberg of manipulating Senate procedure in an effort to stop a certain candidate from being voted in as president for Student Govermnent Productions. This is not the leadership UF students need and deserve. Goldberg should be carefully considering what best suits the student body. He should not be making hasty decisions. Goldberg's attempt to make a point has revealed his quesl the independent florida Mike.Gimignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR Emily Yehle OPINIONS EDITOR Andrew Meyer, Tom Durrenterger EDITORIAL BOARD The Alligator encourages comments from readers,.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 7 Letters to the Editor Outsiders cannot use 'nickname' This letter is not to condone the use of the word or to trivialize this issue. I am trying to explain how some people might feel. In June 1995, Michael Jackson released his iHStory two-disc set. In one song he used the term "kike." He explained he was trying to promote multiculturalism and that he wasn't a racist. No one bought that explanation, and Michael Jackson went back to the studio and recorded a more acceptable version of the song. This is similar to what happened to this newspaper. The terns that we consider derogatory that people of various groups use with each other are like nicknames. The nickname that your family gives you might be one that is controversial, but you know your family members love you when they use it. Outsiders are not as compassionate because of your nickname's connotations. Therefore, only family gets to use your nickname. Emlff SG should fight all racism o It's great that Student Gove UF administration are concede on campus, but if they are worry ing problems of inequality, they should look elsewhere. Today, at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center, as I did my sit-up routine, Jay-Z's song "99 Problems" came on the stereo. The chorus, repeated numerous times, is: "If you having' girl problems, I feel bad for you son. I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one." As I looked around the fitness center at the women and men there, I felt embarrassed for all of us. Half of us were referred to as "bitches" who should not be taken seriously, while to the other half it was implied that they are not real men if they take women seriously. I am confused as to why no one seems to mind that at this UF facility women are blatantly referred to as "bitches" and clearly degraded while Andy Marlette's cartoon is causing such an uproar when it made no value judgments of any particular group.

Sarah Bidmead 4LS Meyer has shown superiority to Zook Andrew Meyer needs to re-watch a tape of the Gators' first three games this season before passing his judgment on our football team. I agree that we have been qulck.to anoint Coach Urban Meyer as the savior of Florida football (I remember thinking, "Hey, this Zook guy's pretty good" after his first win against UT.) But Andrew Meyer needs to examine the reasons behind the Gator Nation's views. This was the first off-season in recent memory that passed without incident, due to the discipline instilled by Coach Meyer. The players as also playing with this discipline and with a heart and desire that was lacking in three seasons under Zook. True, Coach Meyer did call a conservative garner, but I'm sure it wasn't his choice. Tennessee's defense is talented enough to force you to change your game plan. I'm sure Coach Meyer wishes he could have been more aggressive, but UT's defense wasn't allowing enough time for these types of plays to develop. Coach Meyer took what was given to him and won with it. If Zook was still coach, I guarantee we wouldii't have walked away from that game with a victory. As for Josh Portis starting over Leak, I think Mr. Meyer may have lost his mind. Portis deserves to start based off what -20 plays? National championship-contending teams don't have 17-year-old quarterbacks starting for them. Period. Do me a favor and re-watch the Tennessee game. On almost every play, Chris Leak was running for his life, yet he stepped up and made the plays he needed to time and time again. He played almost flawlessly considering the appalling lack of blocking and constant pressure he had to face. Leak is one of the most talented players in the country and has the potential to be a legitimate Heisman candidate. Unfortunately, like most quarterbacks, he needs time to be able to make plays. Portis will be a great QB at UF in the future, but this is Leak's team, and I have faith that he will put up more big numbers this season and next. Ask college coaches and I'd bet 99 percent of them will take the three-year starting, conference passing yard-leading, 17 consecutive pass-completing junior quarterback over the wide-eyed freshman who has only completed one five-yard pass and has yet to see action.against any real opponents.

8, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2005 Cost of false fire calls may alarm students ALARMS, from page 1 Each building with a registered fire alarm is allowed one false-alarm call per year. After that, fees start at $25 for false alarm No. 2 and could go as high as $400 for false alarm No. 9 and above. UF will keep a record of any future false alarms to understand potential causes, such as electrical malfunctions, heat, cooking smoke, or accidental or intentional manual activation. However William Properzio, UF environmental health and safety director, said no campus alarm system renovations were necessary. "All our fire alarms are inspected by the state fire marshal, and they all meet code," he said. In the last three months, UP has stepped up its quality control of monitoring each alarm. "We have re-emphasized and enhanced what we're doing," he added. Buildings with the highest number of false fire alarms on campus during the past five years were residence halls and fraternity and sorority houses. Factors playing into the high number of false alarms include continuous occupancy, frequent cooking and possible alarm activation by residents. Residents now are required to register their fire alarm with the city at a cost of $15 and are encouraged to check with their alarm company if they ever have a false alarm. Project cannot start until disputes are settled UCORNERS, from page "Parking is critical," Marzke said. "Without parking there, it will kill a business." The lease prohibits University Corners from demolishing the Gator Plaza, as the developer plans, he said. "They are only allowed to build above and around us," Marike said. "They can't demolish the building. They say they can, so it'll be up to a judge to decide."

New building designs meet higher standards SUSTAINABI LITY, from page 1 and more courses in sustainability, Thiele said. UF is also designing buildings that meet standards for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Current buildings on campus with the LEED design include additions to the Florida Museum of Natural History and the Levin College of Law. Rinker Hall was also built with this design. L FED standards will be used more in the future, said Bahar Armaghani, project manager and quality assurance coordinator in the facilities, planning and construction division at UF. "As of right now we have adopted LEED to do all of our major building renovations and construction," Armaghani said. On average, buildings made to be sustainable are 37-percent more efficient than those that are not. Rinker Hall cost an initial 7 percent more during construction because it was built to be sustainable, but that initial cost will be made up in 10 years, he said. The facilities, planning and construction division has an estimated $365 million in current projects.

AV ON the makeu you can buy and sell Grads' financial aid up for consideration THE GRADUATE STUDENT COUNCIL WILL TALK TONIGHT. By STEPHEN MAGRUDER Alligator Writer smagruder@alligator.org Graduate students who receive financial aid are encouraged to come to tonight's Graduate Student Council meeting to discuss their experiences and offer suggestions for improving the aid system. The meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. in Room C1-9 of the Communicore building off Center Drive, behind Shands at U. A liaison from the UF financial aid office is expected to attend and speak on the aid process. Graduate student Lindsey Collins said she and many of her graduate friends have dealt with a variety of complications when it comes to receiving their money. "I really do think graduate students are in a different situation," Collins said. One reason might be that graduate students must complete a waiver to show how much aid they need, whereas undergraduates do not. "There seems to be lots of disorganization in the financial aid process," Collins said. "Sometimes it is the student's fault, but I've noticed that a lot of times it isn't." Graduate students typically are older than undergraduates, and many occupy roles as teachers, researchers and spouses in addition to their roles as students. "Graduate students who take out loans depend on financial aid -and timely disbursement -as much as undergraduates do, and perhaps more so since they tend to be less dependent on parents, and sometimes have dependent children of their UF own," she Administration said. "I have talked to many graduate students who have horror stories about financial aid disbursements coming weeks and months late, resulting in late rent, car and utility payments," Collins said. "Some have said-that they have told prospective graduate students that UF is unreliable when it comes to financial aid, and that if they need aid to get by, UF might not be the best place for them."

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.aIIigator.org/avenue Filmmakers r ue Andres learned the difficulties of Hollywood life the hard way. Now all she wants to do is give other people a start. Andres started Student Upstart Films in January, a student organization dedicated to all things concerning the silver screen, from production to print. The idea was to get students interested in the various aspects of filimaking to work together on their projects. In mid-March, Andres made Upstart's first request through the Student Senate Allocations Committee, asking for microphones, lighting kits, a camera and other basic film equipment. While the $6,000 request seemed reasonable to Andres, Allocations Chairman Jason Lutin felt differently. Andres said Lutin informed the group that Allocations did not have the precedent to fund Upstart for equipment. Instead, Lutin suggested they borrow necessary equipment from the university's telecommunications department. However, the department has barely enough equipment for its own students, much less some new student group, Andres said. "Allocations doesn't understand we don't have access to equipment," Andres said, "period." After a few compromises, Upstart approached the Student Senate with a bill requesting a poreed funds table hard drive for editing purposes and money to make copies. Although a few senators spoke in favor of funding the organization, the bill was passed as-is, without the extra funds, April 19. While it may seem odd that an organization with some Senate support doesn't receive more funding, the decision is not an easy one to make. SG Treasurer Lindsay Cosimi said it is difficult to determine how much each organization should receive, while remaining fair to the others, especially in the case of new organizations. "Many new organizations are what we call 'narrow-focus groups,"' Cosimi said. Narrow-focus groups are organizations that appear promising at first, but drop in membership over time, Cosimi explained. Once the founder of the organization leaves, the group fizzles. "We look for growth in an organization," Cosimi said. "We look for growth in membership, programing, planned speakers." Cosimi said the best example of a rags-to-riches student organization was the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. Although NORML began as a small organization with little funding, in about a year it became one of the largest student organi-. zations on campus. "They really branched out," Kristin Nichols/ Alligator Student Upstart Films president Sue Andres, treasurer Natalie Andres and member Brian Brown discuss upcoming film projects Tuesday. Cosimi said. "Did a lot of co-programming, outside funding and kept detailed records of how many members attended each meeting." If this is the example Upstart needs to follow, Andres said she feels they are already on their way. "We already have 200 people on our listserv," Andres said. "So many people at UF are interested in film, from all different [majors]. We have members from liberal arts and aerospace engineering." The group has already completed three projects and will hold a screening of the latest two at the Reitz Union Cinema on Tuesday. Upstart is also working hard to raise money for the muchneeded equipment. They will hold a car wash Saturday at the BP gas station on Archer Road and Southwest 34th Street. As with any new organization, only time will tell whether or not Upstart will survive. However, Andres is confident Upstart offers enough appeal to students to keep the club going. "Video production is connected to so many fields," Andres said. "Knowing how to convey ideas on film is a very beneficial skill." Controversial 'Bodies' art exhibit educates, awes In the soft lighting and quiet of the Museum of Science & Industry, a young girl questioned her father. "That's a heart?" she asked. It doesn't look like the hearts on playing cards or the heart that beats from a cartoon character's chest. The heart is in a display case with a short description beside it, explaining how the awkwardly shaped muscle once pumped blood through a human's body Such revelations are the purpose of "Bodies: The Exhibition" at the museum in Tampa -an effort to help visitors understand the complexity of the human body and encourage healthy lifestyle choices. "To see is to know," proclaims a banner. And there's plenty to see in the 14,000square-foot exhibit that utilizes 20 whole-body specimens and 260 organs and partial-body specimens. The exhibit is divided into nine rooms, each focusing on a different part of the body. As patrons walk into the dimly lit exhibit, a spotlight shines on a skeleton holding up its thumb like a hitchhiker. Complete with eyes, toenails and expressions on their faces, the bodies in the exhibit pose for stronger impact on the observer. "Wow, look at this soccer player!" a man said to his daughter. The body is in midair, doing a kick flip to show how the muscular system works. It's hard to believe these bodies are actual cadavers -they are preserved using a process called polymer preservation, a process by which tissue water is replaced with silicone rubber, giving the specimen a "rubbery" look. But they all are real: the black, cancerstricken lung; the wrinkly, June cirrhotic liver; the tiny fetus Capiello with a cleft lip. Playlist "Makes you think about theavenue@aligator.org not smoking," one woman said after comparing a smoker's lung to the ivorywhite lung of a non-smoker. UF alumnus John Vincent, 29, was fascinated by the total dissection of one cadaver, which was horizontally cut multiple times from the feet to the head. Observers can view the entire body as one would look at the rings on a tree stump. "I think that was one of the most interesting things I've ever seen," Vincent said. The circulatory system is displayed in a pitch-dark room, save for red, glowing arteries that look like seaweed. "It's beautiful," said Beth Young, 22. "It's perfect." Young is one of many people who were skeptical of the exhibit. "Everything was mind-blowing," she said. Kim Fetner, of Largo, went to the exhibition with her daughter and was quick to agree. "It's good for kids to see the inner workings of the body," she said. Comment books located at the end of the exhibit are full of messages of positive feedback. The general consensus: "amazing." "Actually, I do not think white people are allowed to use slang until it is ast least a year old. So if the slang is a little played out, you're all good.'

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 11 Ban d r0#%cks pas-t age criss Some bands will give you a phone interview from their drunken post-show party. The Mid Life Crisis Band gives you one from their niece's baseball game. Mark Chirico and Greg Smith, both lead guitarists and vocalists, say the reason for the name of their band is simple: It's completely true. "We're definitely a mid life crisis band," said Chirico in a phone interview amid cheering at a local ballpark in Union, N.J. "All of us are, I guess, in our 40s except for one of us that just crossed. the great divide (into 50)," said Smith, in a separate interview. The Gainesville band, which specializes in blues, classic and southern rock covers, is playing at Calico Jack's on Sept. 23. Outside of the band, the four members lead typical lives. They all have wives and children except for drummer Larry Thompson, the Danielle only full-time Lucey musician in the Playlist band. theavenue@alligator.org AGainesville resident since Tom Petty and Don Felder of the Eagles were locals, Thompson is also in Dbl Wide and Killer Bees. The rest of the band members are not quite Doctor Feelgoods at their full-time jobs. Chirico is a pharmacist, Smith is an X-ray repair tecimician and bassist Tony Gray is a nurse anesthetist. When they play, Chirico says, "We bring everybody with us from the hospital in town." Supportive friends, wives and kids are also at their shows. Chirico's son's band, The Fantasmics, even plays in between The Mid Life Crisis Band's sets. They play band and crowd favorites including Lynyrd Skynyrd and Stevie Ray Vaughan covers. They also play two originals, "Brand New Start" and "Going Down to Georgia." They aren't strangers to song requests, though "sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't," said Smith. A list of The Mid Life Crisis Band's songs and upcoming shows can be found on their Web site, www.mlcrisisband.com Though going to the same place, listening to the same music and seeing the same people is always nice, sometimes change is good too. As luck would have it, Gainesville's nightlife is constantly changing, so there's no excuse for a repetitive nightlife. Those who look for new places, Gainesville has two downtown club openings to look forward to in the next couple of weeks. Both are different and appealing. The former location of Simon's, 8 S Main St., will soon be home to Rehab, a chic nightclub with a dance floor, lounge and upstairs cabana bar called Moonshine. Club manager and part-owner of Rue Bar, Jason Mitow, said it has been completely redone and will feature padded walls, mosaics, a $20,000 hanging fish tank, plasma TVs and a "killer sound system." The rooftop bar was redone with a "real Miami flavor" and a floor girls can actually walk on without their high heels getting stuck, he said. The club's big rap and R&B nights will be Fridays and will have various themes -including rock and '80s -throughout the week. Rehab and Moonshine should be open within two weeks. "It should be pretty crazy," Mitow said.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 13 GAINESVILLE AIRSHOW Blue Angels, stunt flyers soar for Katrina victims By BRETT KELMAN Avenue writer It is not every day that F-18s descend on Gainesville. This weekend they will, as the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels soar through the skies at Gainesville Regional Airport as part of the first annual Heart of Florida Airshow. The show will include low-level aerobatics routines, a fully restored B-25 Mitchell Bomber and Otto the clown helicopter. Gates open at 10 a.m. Saturday and Sunday; tickets cost $15. The airshow has been made possible by the Gainesville Regional Airshow Consortium Inc., which made a five-year commitment to establish the show as the premier aviation sporting event in North Central Florida. The show will raise money for severallocal charities and Hurricane Katrina victims to have the Blue Angels," said Christy and will award an annual aviation scholarHendricks, airshow spokeswoman. ship.

In 1946, Alison resigned from the Air Force as a colonel, only to re-enlist in 1950 for the Korean War. Alison was inducted into the Air Commando Hall of Fame in 1994. Along with the Blue Angels, the airshow will feature Olympic-level aerobatic flyer Patty Wagstaff. Wagstaff has built a reputation as "The First Lady of Aerobatics" and is famous for an unparalleled display of daring low-level flying. Patty Wagstaff Airshows Inc. is based in St. Augustine. "It is kind of neat to be flying so close to home," she said in a telephone interview Monday. "They rarely have them in your backyard." Wagstaff is the first woman to win the title of U.S. National Aerobatic Champion and has performed in airshows on five continents. "I'm really working on Antarctica," she joked. Lvca electronic music scene thrives in rock domain ainesville Rock City. That's us, right? Not anymore, at least if Christopher Miller has his way. Miller is the head of Electronic SubSouth, a small collective dedicated to fostering a successful live electronic music scene in Gainesville. That's all well and good, but isn't it an act of futility in a town best known in the music community as the home of seminal punk label No Idea Records? Wrong again, said Miller. "The fans and the interest in the music are already here. The problem is the lack of venues which are willing to host such events or bring electronic acts into town," he said. Chris Kolodziej, of local electronic act On*tic, agrees. "The fans come in droves," he said. "I've even met people from the Orlando and Tampa areas that drive all that way just to see the locals." Two venues not falling into that category are The Atlantic, which has hosted several ESS shows, and The Side Bar, soon to be home to a monthly electronic music showcase beginning Sept. 28. But Miller's plans stretch beyond increasing the volume of events SubSouth has lined up for the next few months. "UP has had an electro-acoustic music scene for over a decade, and I'd like to figure out a way to partner with that. There is also the possibility of an electroclash-themed night at a newer downtown venue," he said. But electronic music has a few barriers to overcome before it can really take off in Gainesville. Dave LeBleu of Textual, another local electronic act, said he believes electronic musicians need to put on more of a show to pull ina bigger audience. "There needs to be more of an actual visual or live experience as opposed to just a few people sitting behind their laptops," LeBleu Matt Clear said. SubSouth Playlist is also looking theavenue@alIigator.org for musicians to have "more of a performancebased element to their live shows." For this to happen, and for new electronic acts to flourish in Gainesville, a strong support system needs to be in place. With SubSouth, these factors have now come together and the scene can only continue to grow. "It's the ultimate networking tool for musicians and fans," said Kolodziej. Perhaps the next big thing to come out of Gainesville will eschew guitars and drums for a laptop and a synthesizer. If that's the case, it could happen because of SubSouth and the dedicated community of musicians and fans they have helped bring together. For more information, visit www.electronicsubsouth.com.

14, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2005 Earplugs preserve quality By MARIA LAVERGHETTA Avenue Writer Pool keeps fun cheap plit between four friends, a mere $1.63 will cover an hour of hearty billiards fun at Silver-Q Billiards and Sports Bar. You don't have to pay to the door and there's usually no line. That's a great way to start any night. Sure, the initial onslaught of smoke is a little overwhelming, but it's a If you've ever used the cheap, yellow foam earplugs, you're well aware that sound changes in the process. Although earplugs protect your ears from the damage caused by loud speakers at a bar, they distort the quality of music, said John Wiseheart, a local audiologist. Research shows that custom-made musician earplugs can help the listener or musician hear the quality of the music better without damaging their ear, Wiseheart said. The musician earplugs can either be custom made for your ear, which cost about $150, or can be non-custom for $15 to $20. "Sixty percent of the inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have hearing impairment," Wiseheart said. Normal conversation uses about 60 decibels of sound, but the level of the ear's resources that are used increases exponentially by every added decibel, Wiseheart. If you are at a rock concert, which is about 112 decibels on average, you could listen for an hour and 25 minutes with the musician ear plugs -instead of only listening for five minutes -without causing muffled hearing, ringing in your ears, or with repeated exposure, permanent hearing loss, according to the Etymotic Research, Inc. Web site, www.etymotic.com. Because the older earplugs protect against higher-frequency sounds, the music is not heard as well, Wiseheart said. "It's like someone just tuning the volume down," he said. "The older, yellow earplugs are great if you want maximum attenuation or protection but not if you want to enjoy the music." Rashon Medlock, a local singer and graduate of the UF School of Music, said he sees this as arbitrary. "In Gainesville, pretty much everybody plays as loud as they can anyway," he said. "The quality of earplug would really only matter if you were a serious concert patron." However, other local musicians who play in the brass section feel as though this is an important investment. Dakeyan "Dre" Graham, a music education major at UF and saxophone player in the UF Jazz Ensemble, said the older earplugs are not helpful when he uses them during his performances. ."They block out the sound," he said. "They don't allow you to tune as well as you could because you can't use all the resources of your ears." Erik Augereau, a trombonist at UP, doesn't use earplugs but understands why other players use them. "I sit in the back, so I never use earplugs," he said. "There are even orchestras which have Plexiglass shields between the brass and strings to protect them." Due to the benefits of the musician ear plugs, musicians of all kinds, including marching bands and sound crews, are encouraged to wear them. Any protection is better than none at all though, Wiseheart said. "People don't appreciate how easy it is to lose your hearing," he said. vice.

"Menos el Oso" follows the same blueprint that made 2002's "Highly Refined Pirates" a success -jerky, post-punk rhythms melded to electronic flourishes and serious lyrics which belie the silly song titles. It's a formula which is particularly successful on more upbeat, danceable tracks like "The Fix" and "Pachuca Sunrise," although there is sadly nothing to match "Highly Refined Pirates." However, Minus the Bear's problem has always been making its songs catchy enough to stick in listeners' heads, and "Menos el Oso" is no different -the unexpected time changes and the unconventional vocals of Jake Snider give the record a certain initial level of inaccessibility. If given enough time to grow on you, these elements can become the album's strengths. "Menos el Oso" is a solid record. MTB fans will love it, but newcomers might want to try the slightly superior "Highly Refined Pirates" first. The Coral The Invisible Invasion Sony/BMG Being from Liverpool can be something of a handicap for a band; it means that reviewers almost invariably find some way to mention The B-s. Luckily for the Coral, it bears no musical resemblance. That doesn't mean the band doesn't look to the past for inspiration. A good portion of the album's harmonies and guitar licks are reminiscent of '60s surf pop, often providing us with the album's best moments -propulsive opening track "She Sings the Mourning" in particular. But the Coral isn't just a one-trick pony. Lead single "In the Morning," quite rightly a hit in the band's native UK, is the very essence of chilled-out summery pop "The Operator" features a fantastic mockspooky keyboard line, and on "So Long Ago" and "Late Afternoon," the guitar melodies and softer vocal style (although not the vocals themselves) recall some of Belle & Sebastian's more upbeat numbers. It's debatable whether this album with l' its strong tendency toward the retro, will have a lasting impact. But before the '60s plundering begins to wear a Jittle thin, it undoubtedly will provide great enjoyment for those looking to keep the spirit of summer alive. -MATT CLEAR

Who wants to be shown off by a guy whose clothes have more holes than my fishnet stockings and buttcheeks that peek out when he bends over? In nature, men are the ones who are supposed to show off. They always have the most beautiful features -the male cardinal with his brilliant red, the mallard duck with his iridescent green, the lion with his regal mane. When in the evolutionary chain did this gene disappear? Now guys show off by competing to see whose boxers hang out the most. I've come to rely on healthy skepticism in the beginning of a relationship when guys tend to look their best to win our affection. It's not real because once they get you after a few months, their true style' re-emerges. Thus, you see the paper-thin, grease-laden, pit-stained, seethrough, once-was-white-now-isgrey cotton T-shirt increasingly in his wardrobe repertoire. The clothes he used to wear he considers his nice clothes, and they hang in the closet for special occasions that never happen. .Sure, you have a few apples who fall far from the tree, but for the most part, men have turned into total schlubs. When did this become OK? Because it's not just a phase, it's the norm. Women accept guys who don't care, and the worst thing is we continue to let them get away with it. You've seen the mismatched couples -the princess and the pea, the beauty and the beast, the fair and the frog, the radiant and the rabid. Why should you take the time to look adorable if your guy walks around wearing the same clothes to toss the football, play X-Box, and club hop with you and his buddies? Please note -there is a huge distinction between a guy whose look is scruffy and the guy who just doesn't care. You can tell the difference. It's one thing to be comfortable but another to be lazy. Some of you may consider this materialistic and vain, Christine but it's not; it's pride Steffens -a completely difFashion a Go-Go ferent sin. theavenue@alligator.org So, what can you do?

"That's the running back state of mind: 'I want to get the ball and run.' "He used to pass rush like he was running the ball sometimes." Not anymore. Cohen is finally getting the defensive mindset, Mincey said. Although Cohen only has one tackle this season, Coach Urban Meyer graded him one of four defensive champions after his performance against Louisiana Tech, even before McDonald was injured. "He's a guy that didn't practice real well around here for a while," Meyer said. "Even before Ray's injury, he was making a big push about three or four weeks ago." With McDonald gone, that push is going to have to be harder. Cohen will start at end with redshirt freshman Derrick Harvey backing him up until McDonald can return. But Cohen doesn't see it as a chance to prove himself; he'd rather have McDonald playing. "I try not to look al it that way," he said. "I wish Ray was out there with us.

24, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2005 instruggles to adapt Z AFTER GIVING UP FIVE SACKS TO TENNESSEE, UF'S OFFENSIVE LINE IS TRYING TO REGROUP. By FARZAD SAFI Alligator Staff Writer fsafi@aligator.org While most of Gainesville celebrated UF's win against Tennessee last weekend, two Gators could hardly enjoy themselves. -Seniors Mike Degory and Randy Hand went straight home Saturday night, because they were too angry to party The Tennessee defensive line sacked quarterback Chris Leak five times, stuffed the Gators on a 4th-and-inches play and dominated UF's offensive line for most of the night. "Mike and I were disgusted after the Tennessee game," Hand said. "We were mad because beating them was one of the biggest wins of our career and we played poorly." But was the Gators' offensive line that bad, or was Tennessee's defensive line that good? "Tennessee had amazing talent on the defensive line," Coach Urban Meyer said. "They had three seniors, and all three of those guys are going to be making a bunch of money playing in the NFL next year." Regardless, Degory believes that the offensive line did not show up to play. "Up front, that was one of the worst games I've ever been associated with," he said. How could a unit led by four experienced seniors be one of the last to adapt to the new offense? Meyer and the players have different explanations for the latest dilemma with the offense. "I don't think it was a lack of courage or a lack of talent with the offensive line," Meyer said. "I think it's a lack of technique."

Call 372-2257 40 "We've spent so much time focusing on scheme," he said. "Right now, we need to focus on the fundamentals. Those guys need to work on their base footwork and hand placement, because they looked awful on film." Meyer has changed how the offensive line has been practicing this. week. Tight ends coach Steve Addazio has been assigned to work specifically with the tackles. Sophomore tight end Tate Casey may also see his role change in the offense until the play of the line improves. "I'm happy spending most of my time on the field blocking," Casey said. "A tight end makes his living off of blocking. Whatever catches he makes are just bonuses." While Meyer believes the problem is due to a lack of fundamentals, one of the starters thinks it's the new system. "It's a new offense for us too," Hand said. "The tackles have a lot more responsibility this year because we have to make more reads. Last year, we only had to go one way and block somebody." As long as the offensive line continues to struggle, the entire offense will suffer. Following a 247-yard performance against Tennessee, the Gators rank seventh in the Southeastern Conference and 60th in the nation in total offense. Meyer admitted that he has had to limit a lot of his play calling due to the line's errors. Conveniently, the offensive line has an excellent opportunity to boost its self-esteem this week against injury-riddled Kentucky. The Wildcats have the worst rushing defense in the SEC, allowing 223.7 yards per game. "I'd be all for running the ball 50 times this week against Kentucky to get the bugs out the system," Hand said. "We need to get at least 150 yards rushing to be satisfied though." This section for display ads only.

"I feel I'm more ready now than I've ever been," Cohen said. Gators' offense 'not very pretty' FOOTBALL, from page 23 rently ranked just seventh in the SEC. .On Wednesday, Meyer said the criticism is warranted. "They should be critical, [the offense is] not very pretty," Meyer said. "What you can't be critical about is field position and ball security. [But] we're here to score points." Some Heisman watch lists continue to rank quarterback Chris Leak in the top five -several as high as No. 3 -but there are critics who believe Leak simply isn't suited for Meyer's option offense. "I think it's a combination [of people not stepping up]," Meyer said.: "It's not [just] Chris Leak. It's a group of 11 people doing the jobs, and right now they're not; it's a breakdown here and there." 0-LINE WOES: After allowing five sacks against Tennessee, the Gators' offensive line could experience more problems with an injury to offensive guard Tavares Washington. Coach Urban Meyer said Washtington is suffering from a sore elbow after possibly hyper-extending it against the Volunteers. Freshman Jim Tartt, who has played only as a reserve in one game this season while recovering from a shoulder injury, is receiving more practice reps at guard, Meyer said. ESTEBAN, from page 23 Senior corner 'back Vernell Brown has played beyond lights out and Meyer calling him "The face of Florida Football" speaks volumes of how far the Gainesville native has come. While Meyer praised him during fall and spring practice, I didn't buy into it. I was busy sipping the Reggie Nelson KoolAid, and yes, he has proven to be the Real Deal Holyfield, I thought Nelson would be starting by LSU. Brown's play speaks for itself-his 18 tackles leads the Gators and he also has an interception, but his job at punt returner has been nauseating at best. UF is dead last in the Southeastern Conference in punt returns and 101st in the nation, and Brown's 13 returns for 57 yards, a 4.4-yard average, is not what Meyer could have possibly imagined. The proposed solution is simple. For those that were lucky enough to see his recruiting film back in the day, Dee Webb could only be described as a game breaker while returning punts at Jacksonville's Ed White High. Already one of the fastest guys on the team, Webb showcased and harnessed that speed in the spring when he competed with the track team on top of his rigorous football and academic schedule.

26, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2005 WALK-ON WATER Former soccer star a secret no longer By LOUIS ANASTASIS But you see two reporters flank Where did this kid come from? Alligator Staff Writer this walk-on -yes, you guessed Is he really this good? The answers lanastass@aigator.org right about the walk-on part -and may surprise you. His dirty brown hair flaring into a puffy tuft, No. 39 and his modest physique trots off the practice field. Could he be a walk-on punter? Perhaps one of UF's water boys has decided to have a laugh and try on a-Gators uniform. there is something going on here. This is no football Joe-Schmo. He is redshirt sophomore Chris Hetland, UF's 5-for-5 kicker and veritable campus rock star. "All the hard work is paying off," Hetland said. "I just do what I know how to do." Coming to UF as a walk-on, kicker Chris Hetland almost didn't have the chance to be the Gators' savior against Tennessee. Self-made kicker Rewind seven years. Location: Lee County High in Leesburg, Ga. Hetland, a freshman, a bona fide socer center/midfielder and a middle school linebacker/defensive back is getting cocky. He thinks he can kick a football. "As far as soccer went, he was probably the best ball distributor I had ever seen from the middle," father Randy said. "He was a playmaker, and he could put the ball wherever he needed. So when he saw football, he said, 'I can do that."' Solid and always improving, Randy saw potential in the midfielder. An engineer and soccer guru himself, Randy, despite having never kicked a football in his life, became Hetland's coach. They bought kicking books, attended kicking classes and camps -including UF camps after his freshman and sophomore seasons -bought kicking tapes, then made kicking tapes of their own. "We've grown -together," Hetland said. "I mean, I didn't know a whole lot about kicking. I just kicked the soccer ball, and -hen I would kind of go up there and kick the football. We taught each other and we learned from each other. We kind of put things together and molded." Soon the two became experts. 'Hetland finished his senior season 3-for-3 from beyond 50 yards. His college search was anything but a touchdown. No one wanted him except small schools. Ahandful of decent colleges asked Hetland to walk-on. Then came the ultimatum. Hetland demanded to kick for a Southeastern Conference school, specifically UF or Georgia. Lucky for him, "[Ron] Zook called him at the last moment, and so he ended up coming here," Randy said. Almost lost in the shuffle Recruited by Steve Spurrier, yet stuck behind a bevy of kickers when Zook took over, Hetland waited, watched and maintained his kicking regimen with his father. But Zook noticed a little something about Hetland. Despite the fact that Matt Leach became the entrenched starter, Hetland secured a back-up role and a promise: After Leach graduates, it's your job. "And so when Zook got canned, that sort of created some anxiety because we didn't know what a new coach would do," Randy said. "Sure enough, when Coach [Urban] Meyer came. in, he recruited [Jonathan] Phillips." Faced with more adversity than ever, coupled with the fact that paysome, Hetland thought about leaving. Meyer, however, would give him a shot. "He said, 'Are you a good kicker?' Hetland recalled. "I said, 'Yeah.' He said, 'Well, let me rephrase that. Are you a great kicker?' I said, 'I think so.'" While Gator Nation -expected Phillips -the No. 2 kicker in the nation at the time, according to scout.com -to step into the starting role, Hetland established a training routine to overtake the freshman. "I was like, 'He better be damn good because I'm going to go out there and give it niy best,"' Hetland said. Sometimes with his father, sometimes alone, Hetland dedicated three to four days a week to hardcore kicking this summer. By the beginning of two-adays, Hetland knew he had the inside track to starting, to starring. Everyone else would have to wait to witness UF's best-kept secret. Mr. Perfect With the media questioning UF's kicking game, with fans scrambling through media guides to figure out who this walk-on was, a cool Hetland nailed field goal attempts of 40 and 47 yards in his season opener against Wyoming. Still, gossip abounded about Hetland's two muffed extra points. "It put things in perspective and got me even more focused," Hetland said. Did it ever. In his first-ever action against an SEC team, Hetland froze Tennessee with his bionic foot. Converting on all three field goals of 38, 35 and 20 yards, Hetland single-handedly booted the Volunteers back to Knoxville with a 16-7 loss. What a far cry from the soccer fields of Leesburg. "To score [10] points a g a i n s t Tennessee and to have that be the difference in the game, I'm going, 'Holy cow.' It's lke wow," Randy said. Now that everyone knows who Hetland is, it's time for the serious question. Is he ever going to miss? "I plan on making every one of them," said Hetland, who is quick to point out he feels comfortable from any distance 53 yards and in. "Right now, I feel like if I miss -and this might sound cocky -it's a fluke." Another burning issue is his walk-on status. Burdened by a fourth year of tuition, the Hetlands are crossing their fingers that something will give. "If he's the guy who continues and plays the rest of the year, he'll be on scholarship," Meyer said. What a secret weapon UF has had on its hands all along. As for the biggest secret of all, Hetland is aiming for the NFL. "That's what his dream is," Randy said, "and that's why he went to Florida."

Davis has responded well to increased playing time. R gW a r 7"LU #N.CrT oII Ringtones. Wallpapers. Flavor for your phone. 1* UF HEADS INTO SEC PLAY RANKED NO. 6. By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer Complacency is a word that always makes coaches cringe, and Mary Wise is no exception. While the Gators' exited their non-conference schedule with a 9-1 mark, including victory against rival Southern California, Wise wants her players to continue progressing the way they have through the season's first month. "As a coach you're always looking to the future and what more they can learn," Wise said. "Every time they learn something we want to give them something else, so they may never feel like they can ever accomplish everything. Because every time they get something we're going to add something to it." UF is now entering a stretch of its season that could hardly be considered daunting. Currently ranked No. 6 in the nation, the Gators aren't scheduled to play another team in the Top 25 for the remainder of the season. Perhaps UF's toughest remaining competition is Tennessee, which is currently receiving the most votes of any unranked team. The Volunteers defeated the Gators twice last season -the first win breaking UF's streak of 145 consecutive regular season Southeastern Conference wins, and the second to take the SEC Tournament crown. "It's like the light has come on for Rhian. Understand that she is incredibly fast, and now has a better understanding of the game." Mary Wise UF coach Wise, however, wants to keep the Gators focused on the next task. "I just told the players we're 0-0." BACK-ROW BREAKOUT: After playing sparingly her first two seasons, Rhian Davis has emerged as a major defensive contributor for the Gators throughout the season's first month. She has seen the court in every IMeACU 2 Locatins: Creekside mall near Gator TextBooks & SW 34th St. near Alley Katz Bowling match and has eclipsed 10 digs three times, including a season high 15 against Florida State MondaZ night. That effort was just shy of her career high of 17 against Minnesota in 2004. "It's like the light has' come on for Rhian," Wise said. "Understand that she is incredibly fast, and now has a better understanding of the game in a position she's never played before. "She's really a lot more comfortable, and thus able to get a whole lot more balls." PACKING THE HOUSE: According to the Division I Volleyball Attendance Report, the Gators have the sixthhighest average home-match attendance in the nation. UF has been ranked in the national top-10 in attendance each of the last 14 years. The Gators are averaging 2,376 fans per game, and their total attendance of 16,635 for seven home matches so far ranks behind only Hawaii. UF is the only school in either the SEC or on the east coast ranked in the top 20.
