Turnout nearly
doubles Fall '04
By DAVID COHEN and JUSTIN RICHARDS
Alligator Writers
The Gator Party built more foundation for its
nation Tuesday and Wednesday, winning most
seats by a wide margin in this Fall's Student
Government election.
Gator won 40 of the 46 open Student Senate
i .seats, while rival Impact Party claimed five.
There was a tie for a District D seat between
A r-.Impact's Amanda Kane and Gator's John M.
.-.. :2Lloyd-Montgomery
The ominous total of 6,666 students voted in
UF's first Intranet SG election, nearly doubling
the Fall 2004 election tally of 3,727.
Gator District B Senator-elect Mike Patrone
"found out today he will have a third term.
"This is what college is for me," he said.
Gator not only won the battle of seats, it cap-
III. tured nearly two-thirds of the total vote, counting
multiple votes in districts with several open seats.
: "Obviously, our campaign really connected
with people on the ground on-campus, person-to-
person," Gator spokesman Thomas Philpot said.
Impact President Thomas Jardon said he was
optimistic about his party's future despite Gator
winning about 87 percent of the seats.
"I think we put up a better fight than anyone
expected," he said. "I think this puts us in a good
position to run a viable candidate in Spring."

Campaigners file several complaints Election Results
By JUSTIN RICHARDS

His rejection of two Impact Party cam-
paign posters raised questions about the
breadth of the Student Government supervi-
sor of elections' powers.
One poster featured a quote from
Student Senate Budget and Appropriations
Committee Chairwoman Jackie Pace that
read, "In the past we kind of tended to give
away money" and cited an Aug. 31 Alligator
article that quoted Pace.
Impact officials said they verified the quote
with a tape recording of the Senate meeting at
which Pace, a Gator Party senator, spoke.
The poster comprises only Pace's quote,
"There's definitely a distinction
between dirty campaigning and
truthful campaigning. The func-
tion of elections is to hold elected
officials accountable."
Thomas Jardon
Impact Party president
the phrase, "Vote Impact," and the words re-
quired on campaign material By SG statutes.
"I felt that it was a direct attack on Ms. Pace,"
Supervisor of Elections Daniel Maland said.
Though this power is not specified in
the election codes, Maland said he can deny
the use of offensive campaign material. He
deemed offensive material to be anything that
"has the potential to put the general student
body in a state of discomfort."
Impact Party President Thomas Jardon
said Maland's act was a violation of the
party's right to free speech.
"There's definitely a distinction between
dirty campaigning and truthful campaign-
ing," Jardon said. "The function of elections is
to hold elected officials accountable."
Maland also rejected a poster that read,
"Vote naked," advocating a vote-from-home
Internet voting system.
Impact spokesman Adam Roberts said the
party plans to file an official elections com-
plaint about-the posters' rejections.

* JESSICA IS ONE OF ONLY
SIX ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
By JENNIFER FREIHOFER
Alligator Writer
jfreihofer@alligator.org
Jessica is one of more than 7,000
freshmen who started at UF this
Fall, but she's the only one to star in
a new reality show.
Nineteen-year-old Jessica, whose
last name is not being released for
privacy reasons, is one of six first-
year college students from across
the United States chosen to be fea-
tured in America Online's "Project
Freshman," an online reality show
that documents the students as they
adjust to their new college lives.
The students were given digital
video cameras to film their experi-
ences in personal, real-life settings.
"Basically, our job is to film our-
selves in our most candid moments,'
Jessica said. "All of that is put togeth-
er on the teen section of AOL so that
people of our age group and younger
can vaguely get an idea of what it's
like on a real student's first day when
they go to college."
Jessica, a telecommunications
major from Doylestown, Pa., was
contacted by UF in June about the
opportunity.
She said she thinks UF recom-
mended her because she is from
out-of-state, applied early decision
and was highly involved in the ap-
plication'process.
"I talked to the admissions office
so frequently that I would just say,
'This is Jessica from Pennsylvania,'
and they'd say, 'We know you,'"
she said.
She completed several applica-'
tions and interviews and made a
20-minute casting video before be-
ing selected for the show. She said
the application process took about a
month and a half.
"It was grueling, because they
would ask for one thing and you'd
send it in and be like, 'There's one
thing I can cross off,'" she said. "Then
they'd be like, 'Will you do another
interview? Will you e-mail us a pho-
to? Will you send us a tape?'"
Making the casting video posed a
challenge for her, she said.
"It's a little bit awkward at
first, trying to portray who
you are in a very unnatural
situation of sticking a video
camera in your face and
basically talking to it."
Jessica

"It's a little bit awkward at first,
trying to portray who you are in a
very unnatural situation of sticking
a video camera in your face and
basically talking to it," she said. "So
basically I boiled it dowri to how I
am and acted silly and goofy. I think
,the thing that AOL appreciated most
when they watched it was the fact
that I was very real, and I was very
natural and genuine about it."
Each week Jessica gets an assign-
ment from her producer based on her
schedule for the week. She also is re-
quired to record video confessionals
and keep a blog on AOL at least once
a week, and converse with viewers if
they have questions or comments.

Board quashes Plaza
homeless sleepover
By ASHTON GROSZ
Alligator Writer
Members of the Downtown
Redevelopment Advisory Board unani-
mously passed a motion Wednesday to
disallow a planned homeless sleepover
in the downtown plaza due to concerns
over its legality.
The sleepover, organized by Alachua
County Commissioner Rodney Long
and the Alachua County Coalition for
the Homeless and Hungry, violates an
ordinance restricting the use of public
spaces, such as the plaza, for sleeping.
A permit is required.
"We're not sure whether
awareness of homeless on the
plaza benefits what this board
is doing -- trying to do."
Karen Slevin
Downtown Redevelopment Advisory
Board's staff liaison
During the meeting, regulations
"that prohibit the use of public spaces
for private uses that result in persons
eating, sleeping and using public out-
door 'rooms' as living quarters" were
stressed in a city report revised by
board member Linda McGurn.
Yet last October, UF's Gators for
Kerry camped out overnight in the pla-
za for at least 12 hours to vote early the
next morning, said College Democrats
President Stephanie Sims. She said she
believed the group had to reserve a
permit beforehand.
The board also expressed concern
the sleepover would counter the
board's efforts to add aesthetic appeal
downtown, encourage safety and pro-
mote development in the area.
"We're not sure whether awareness
of homeless on the plaza benefits what
this board is doing trying to do,"
said staff liaison Karen Slevin.
Planning meeting is scheduled for
Monday, and Jon DeCarmine, project
specialist for the Alachua Housing
Authority, expects to hear opposition
from members of the committee re-
garding a one-night stay in an other-
wise illegal public place.
"There is definitely some concern,"
DeCarmine said. "There shouldn't be a
double standard."
He said Long asked him to help set
up the sleepover, which also includes
the annual Breakfast in the Plaza. The
breakfast is for anyone in need of food,
bike repair, clothing or food stamps.
Long's whole idea is to make this
issue public, DeCarmine said.
"He watts to use it as a way to raise
awareness of the people experiencing
the plight of homelessness," he said.
Long could not be reached for
comment.

SFCC students floated
through a sea of orange and

tion about UF admissions
and transfer requirements
at the annual Gator Day on
Wednesday.
UF admissions counselors
-donning- their finest Gator
gear answered questions,
handed out information
packets and offered advice to
the UF hopefuls.
Many student attendees
knew exactly what informa-

"I now know what I need
to do to get in [to UF] instead
of wondering and wonder-
ing," said Alan Shealy, who
plans to attend the College
of Pharmacy once he fin-
ishes two more prerequisite
courses.
More than 1,000 stu-
dents kept a consistent flow
throughout the five-hour
event at the SFCC Northwest
campus.
"Usually you sit around
waiting for people to stop
by, but I've had many. stu-
dents coming by," said Lisa
House, Food and Resource
Economics undergraduate
coordinator.
UF Distance Learning
Director Christopher Sessums
had set up shop for his pro-
gram's second year.
"There have definitely
been more students who have
stopped by since last year," he
said. "This is a great way to
educate the Santa Fe commu-
nity about what's going on
and what's available at UE"
GPD clarifies container law
* OFFICERS CAN NOW ISSUE WRIT-
TEN CHARGES TO OUT-OF-TOWNERS.
By KIMBERLY GOUZ
Alligator Contributing Writer
Confusion erupted over a Gainesville
-Police Department policy that required
officers to jail out-of-state residents who
committed a misdemeanor crime.
The policy came into question after two
Tennessee fans were taken to jail in viola-
tion of the open container ordinance, a
misdemeanor, while in-state Florida fans
received only written citations.
"This incident brought an outcry from
the public," GPD spokesman Keith Kameg
said.
The policy was amended Monday by
GPD Chief C. Norman Botsford and allows
police to issue a written charge to out-of-
state guests.
"This change to our policy
Public has not in any way changed
Safety the open container ordinance,"
Kameg said. "The open contain-
er ordinance is in effect and will be enforced,
but now our officers have more latitude in
dealing with out-of-state residents."
The change in policy pertains to all mis-
demeanor violations and not just the open
container ordinance. GPD will continue to
carry out the open container law at football
games and otherwise, Kameg said.
"We've seen a direct correlation be-
tween an increase in alcohol enforcement
and better fan behavior," Kameg said.

Wednesday's voting smoother than Tuesday
SFCC reaches out
By STEPHANIE RODRIGUEZ
Alligator Writer .
srodriguez@alligator.org
In an effort to reach out to the East Gainesville community,
SFCC revealed a 10-step comprehensive plan geared to im-
proving the area.
The five-year strategic plan will bring college resources to
residents in high-poverty regions.
"Santa Fe Community College has made a commitment
to be certain that all the resources are provided equally," said
SFCC President Jackson Sasser.
With a standing budget of more than
$150,000, the plan is aimed at improving
3 41 education, transportation, technology, vol-
unteerism and communication with the East
Gainesville community.
SFCC has already provided $8,500 to
three schools in East Gainesville to improve
Sasser their FCAT scores.
Students at Oasis Enrichment Academy
were provided with pencils, pencil sharpeners, snacks and
paper, said Sharla Head-Jones, principal. "
"I think hundreds and thousands will benefit from the ser-
vices and programs that will be offered," Head-Jones said.
In addition to providing materials for the students, the
plan gave teachers stipends if they work after school and on
Saturday to improve student's scores.
"Our students gained 500-800 points [on the FCAT]," Head-
Jones said.
The East Gainesville Initiative expanded its role in educa-
tion by establishing an advisory board of 23 members at the
downtown Blount Center. The board is partnered with 14 faith-
based organizations.
The plan will provide 32 computers a year to faith-
based churches and several computers to the St. Francis
House for homeless persons to acquire or improve com-
puter skills.
"We're there everyday to help students reach their goals,"
said Dean of Educational Centers Paul Hutchins.
ELECTION, from page 1
"For the not-so-Greek party
to win any seats in the Fall elec-
tion, (that) hasn't happened in five
years," he said. "This is the first time
since 2000 that it's been anything but
a clean shot. I could cry, but I'm re-
ally excited."
Election problems were minimal
Wednesday, in great contrast with
Tuesday's complications.
"We were up and running be-
fore 7:45 [a.m.]," SG Supervisor
of Elections Daniel Maland said
of the second day of Intranet vot-
ing. "Everything is running really
smooth today. Yesterday was the
worst anyone will see the system."
Maland said the only downtime
Wednesday occurred at the Holland
Law School Internet Cafe. No one
could log into the system before vot-
ing began.
The location opened at 8:20 a.m.
but no voters had arrived yet.
Kent Tambling, vice president
of operations for Accelerated Data
Works, Inc., the company that
digitized UF's voting system, said
Tuesday's problems were due
mainly to human error.
Tambling said many poll work-
ers never touched a mouse before.
"Poll workers had to be trained
on the new system,"-he wrote in an e-
mail. 'They are certified poll workers
from the county, I believe, and some
were unfamiliar with web browsers."
Tambling said the majority of
comments about the new system on
Tuesday were positive.
Maland said the online system
went. through a test run before the
election but every problem did not
surface. Only a cumulative exam
would show all the bugs.
"You can't eliminate all the prob-
lems in testing until you have a first
full-scale test," he said.
Senate Secretary Glenda
Frederick said Tuesday's issues are
not a valid reason to keep digital
voting from calling UF home.
"It works much better than
PeopleSoft," she said of UF's
implementation troubles with the
finance and human-resources com-
puter program. "Look how long (15
months) we've been using that."
Maland said he was optimistic
about the future of online voting.
"You've got to give something a
fighting chance," he said.

COMPLAINTS, from page 1
Impact officials brought up this issue with Dean of
Students Gene Zdziarski, along with concerns about
Gator Party Rawlings-area candidate William Perry.
They accused Perry of battery and sexual harassment.
Impact spokeswoman Allison Cullin said Perry cat-
called to Impact campaigners, shouting phrases like,
"Hey baby, I'll give you a real shirt," and "I'm always
looking for a first lady."
Party officials also allege that Perry knocked flyers
out of Impact candidate Victor Bard's hands and pulled
away a student Bard was campaigning to.
Cullin said she spoke to Gator Party campaigner and
Senate President Pro-Tempore John Boyles and asked
Perry to stop his behavior, but the actions continued.
"We just lament the fact that possibly someone like this
will be representing the Rawlings area," Jardon said.
Boyles and Perry declined comment, and Gator Party
spokesman Thomas Philpot did not return phone calls
from the Alligator regarding Perry.
Both parties have expressed concern about votes
submitted by Rawlings-area residents for Broward-area
Senate candidates.
Until 3 p.m. Monday, students registered in the
Rawlings district could only vote for Broward senators.
Philpot said those votes may need to be invalidated.
"Students have a reasonable expectation to walk into
the polls and simply vote and walk out and not deaP
with these problems," he said.
The Impact Party filed election complaints Wednesday
about polls opening late, polls out of order, a banner hung
in the Plaza of the Americas, and unapproved, oversized
banners hung outside fraternity houses.
The Gator Party filed five election complaints, but
their nature was not revealed to the Alligator.

Editorial
Gator wins
Officials should allow
true Internet voting
So The Gator Party is the overall winner.
Surprise, surprise.
This bodes bad tidings for the Editorial Board, which
has senselessly abused Gator officials nonstop for weeks.
It also means these editorials are entirely useless.
Don't we have any faithful followers?
We're just going to assume that everyone who reads this
meant to vote for Impact but had a terrible accident before they
made it to the polls.
And our ego doesn't stop there. We're going to tell those
Gator senators exactly how they should run things, now that
they've proven they don't need us.
Better listen up.
First and foremost, we want true Internet voting. If this elec-
tion has shown us anything, it's that "secured-site" voting is a
mess, mostly because of the unneeded middleman.
Sure, this will make more students vote and could end the
Greek monopoly. But it would give the whole campus confi-
dence in Gator's dedication.
And it would be easier to garner votes when no one is think-
ing about what a pain in the ass it is. By implementing Internet
voting through GatorLink and letting every student vote at
home, Gator will show how wrong this Editorial Board has
been all along.
Wouldn't that feel good?
But since this isn't likely, we'll move on.
We've already discussed how most of Gator's platform is-
sues are impossible to implement. But that doesn't mean we
can't tell them how to do it.
And hopefully more students will get involved to help them
attain some of their goals. If you can't beat them, join them
and then fight from the inside.
Let's begin with their promise to close off portions of
University Avenue for football games.
We think officials shouldn't even try. It would just increase
traffic and drunken revelry.
We'd rather see Gator focusing on parking issues during
games. Every home game, hundreds of students with parking
decals are kicked out of their paid campus spots so big-shot
alumni can take their place.
Parking always gets everyone's blood boiling, and the last
thing students need is less parking spaces. Isn't this school sup-
posed to be about the students? Or do some alumni just give
money to get curbside parking for games?
But since Gator won most of the Senate seats, we'll assume
that a dosed University Avenue is what the voters want.
Alumni are the key. If they want parts of University Avenue
closed, parts of University Avenue will be dosed. Done.
The other issue we attacked this week is their promise to
move toward "green", natural gas buses.
Everyone likes the idea, but the funding just isn't there.
We think implementing Sunday bus service on campus is the
promise Gator should focus on. It's something students will im-
mediately benefit from, and it's a nonpartisan issue.
Gator has a chance to do some re-evaluating this semester.
The Editorial Board isn't stupid; both parties had some good
candidates ready to do some good work.
These past few months have shown that spending needs to
be controlled. Senators can serve their constituents by'simply
reading all the bills and truly thinking about the consequences
before anything goes to the Senate for a vote.
Don't pass off this responsibility to a few senators and then
take their word for it. Senators should do the research them-
selves.
Too often, bills slide through Senate with most not knowing
what they're passing. Paying more attention can go a long way
toward fiscal responsibility.

'Duo of evil' still an evil nuclear threat
R member 'the term axis of evil?
It hasn't been used much since Saddam Hussein
got booted, and no official name was provided for
the axis' remaining members. But I'm proposing one, and
I urge the president to start using it: the duo of evil.
Last week, Israel's foreign minister said that Iran is
six months away from knowing how to build a nuclear
bomb. Considering that the Iranian leadership and the
nation's president, alleged former terrorist Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad, are hardly shy about declaring their inten-
tion to wipe Israel off the map, I can sympathize with
Israeli concerns.
But the European Union's major players are freaked
out about Iran going nuclear too. The International Atomic
Energy Agency passed a resolution Saturday stating that
Iran be reported to'the UN Security Council for failure to
prove the peaceful intent of its nuclear program.
There were 22 votes for the resolution, 12 abstentions
and one vote against. Russia and China were the biggest
names opposing the resolution, according to Al-Jazeera.
Big surprise.
Russia is building a $1 billion nuclear reactor for Iran,
and China hopes to exploit Iran's vast energy resources for
itself. The one vote against the resolution came from Hugo
Chavez's Venezuela.
Chavez loves getting cozy with America's enemies, such
as Fidel Castro, Muammar Gaddafi and even Saddam. His
country's vote was less about economics than it was about
giving President Bush the diplomatic finger.
Meanwhile, recent news out of North Korea has been
as disturbing as ever. Pyongyang has requested that the
U.N. stop providing food aid, partly because the govern-
ment hates being dependent on the United States. North
Korea is emerging slowly from a famine that wiped out 2
million people by some estimates, and the UN thinks this
decision could kill more than 100,000 more.
Six-nation talks with North Korea produced an agree-
ment last week similar to one
negotiated by the Clinton ad-
ministration. The 1994 Agreed
Framework paved the way for a
policy of naive optimism and ap-
peasement, which did not break
Matthew Melone down until violations were un-
Taking Up Arms covered in 2002 and U.N. inspec-
letters@alligator.org tors were kicked out.
The new draft accord, which
was initially hailed as a break-
through, called for Pyongyang to give up its nuclear
weapons program in return for economic aid and security
assurances.
But hours later, North Korea declared it would not dis-
mantle any nuclear weapons program unless the United
States supplied the country with light-water reactors for
civilian power.
Two -days later, on Wednesday, the government ac-
cused the United States of plotting to "crush it to death
with nuclear weapons."
The very idea that America has to sit down and be
diplomatic with these buffoons is insulting. They claim to
have nuclear weapons and have threatened to test one to
prove it, but America shouldn't make concessions-based
on speculation.
If using the word evil to describe the thugs in Tehran
or Pyongyang makes you want to roll your eyes, give me
a call if you're still smirking when those regimes start us-
ing the bomb to blackmail their neighbors or leak nuclear
secrets to al-Qaida.
Americans do not have the stomach for regime change
and another lengthy military occupation in Iran or North
Korea.
But if we don't start talking tougher about the duo of
evil, we may miss our last chance to stop them.

Humanity's politics all over campus
When I was a kid, my- mom
used to tell me I would
have to get used to politics
for the rest of my life. I assumed she
was referring to the meaningless bick-
ering between parties every four years
when the nation finds itself overcome
with an election.
I was very, very wrong.
Recently, I've discovered that in
actuality, my mother was referring
to the politics of humanity. The way
we shout out accusations and cover
our ears. The way we point fingers
and run away. The way we focus
our magnifying glasses and shun
mirrors.
Even here on campus, a haven for
intelligence and discussion, the same
politics force their way into every
little debate.
Republicans say Democrats lack
patience, patriotism and strength.
Democrats claim Republicans lie,
swindle and are trigger-happy.
African Americans claim that minori-
ties are still oppressed by a Caucasian-
AndrewAun -dominated
Speaking Out society that
doesn't care
about their
community's needs. Caucasians
say racism doesn't exist anymore in
mainstream culture.
Even recently, we've dealt with this
same issue on campus. Kanye West
claimed George Bush doesn't care
about black people, while Bush's de-
fenders are pointing at Condoleezza
Rice and statistics to prove otherwise.
There is no way that every single
one of these groups or people are
right, and it's impossible they're all
wrong.
But none of them are willing to
admit any truth in their opposition's
argument, nor are they going to pro-
claim the holes in their-own.
Let's be honest for a second. Our
nation is far from perfect, but it's
not evil or worthy of the term "the
great Satan" either. We've supported
terrorism, but we've also done a lot
of really good things for the world.
Furthermore, the politics of our offi-
cials do not directly represent the be-
liefs and thoughts of our people, who
have much more in common with the
rest of the world than we ever hear.
Our nation has come a long way
from the segregation and racism of
our past, but we also have a long way
to go before we eliminate many of the
unfair disadvantages minorities still
deal with today. Politicians are politi-
cians, but I think we can all agree they
each have different ways of getting to
the same goal.
I propose we re-evaluate the way
we approach each other in our lives
and our debates. Look for what you
have in common with your opposi-
tion. Be willing to admit the points in
your argument that are mere perspec-
tive rather than actual fact. Maybe if
we start caring more for everyone's
right to a voice rather than the volume
of our own, we can leave the politics
to the politicians and get back to being
equal members of an open society.

Letters to the Editor
Airshow paid by sponsors; real problem is SUVs
I am writing in response to John Kotsay's letter, which
argues the Blue Angels waste government money on fuel,
afid the elites and government profit from the $15 park-
ing.
It is important for Gainesville citizens and UF students
to know this is not the case.
The corporate sponsorships and paid attendance of
somewhere between $400,000 and $500,000 went to pay-
ing for the expenses of the airshow. All proceeds went to
hurricane victims.
According to Department of Defense regulations, the
sponsors pay all expenses at the event except for fuel at
the current government contract. The government con-
tract for fuel is surely below the grossly hurricane-inflated
prices they are now, so it is the patrons of the airshow that
footed the bill for this one.
I would like Mr. Kotsay to really think about the real
fuel problem our nation now faces. Is it the overwhelming
automobile fuel consumption caused by our insatiable
lust for huge vehicles and unnecessary travel, or is it an
air show that demonstrates our nation's military to its
citizens and provides a means to recruit future leaders of
our country, who will defend it from those nations caus-
ing these fuel problems. I

Israeli study programs return
By IVETrE MENDEZ
Alligator Contributing Writer
After years of absence, Israeli
programs have returned to the
Study Abroad Fair with full
force.
Two opportunities to study
in Israel marked a change on
the Reitz Union Colonnade on
Wednesday.
"It's calmed down a lot in
Israel," said Lisa Berman, the
admissions coordinator for the
department of overseas studies at
the University of Haifa.
Since violence erupted in Israel
five years ago, UF hasn't run the
program, Berman said.
The program submerges stu-
dents in the Israeli community
with internship and career op-
portunities, Berman said.
Students who take part in the
program live on campus with
Israeli roommates.
"It's very important to us that
students are with Israelis and not
Americans," Berman said.
Berman said parents are still
concerned about their kids travel-
ing to Israel, but they seem less
worried than they used to be.
The University of Haifa pro-
gram won't take students any-
where that doesn't have any type
of warning system, Berman said.
"It's calmed down a lot in
Israel."
Lisa Berman
University of Haifa overseas stud-
ies admissions coordinator
The program aims for students
"to continue their academics
while experiencing Israel to the
fullest degree," Berman said.
Students get first-hand advice
at the fair from students and fac-
ulty who have gone on successful
trips in the past.
The programs at the fair are all
for class credit and can be covered
by financial aid, said Lucy DiLeo,
fair coordinator. -
Even if the program is not at
the fair, students. can approach
the International Center about
the trip they want, she said.
DiLeo said traveling abroad
adds to a student's resume and
helps to differentiate them from
other students.
The programs at the fair are
individualized to meet the stu-
dent's specific needs.
"I think a lot of students want
to go to Israel, and we want to
make that happen for them," she
said.
hI a period of 15 minutes, at
least eight students approached
the Tel Aviv University table.
"I have studied in Israel,
and my sister studied at Tel
Aviv University," said Sharon
Markowitz, associate director at
the office of academic affairs for
its school for overseas students.
"By the time you're done, you
really have a great basis for be-
ing self-sufficient and traveling
around the country," she said.
Any UF student can apply for
the program.

Tennis look good. We are lower than them

Stepping Out
By MELISSA FILIPKOWSKI .. .
Avenue Writer -. ,.
Apple iPod nanos and high-speed wireless Internet con-
nections hint at society's need for constant entertainment and
distraction in all aspects of life.
This need has spilled over into the world of fitness, and a
new revolution of working out has been born. It's called dance
fitness and it's the latest trend.
Dance fitness is any dance-oriented fitness class choreo-
graphed specifically to the music. There are a variety of dance-
fitness classes across the country, but one called Dance Trance is
hip-hopping its way into gyms right here in Gainesville.
Sporting black Dance Trance muscle T-shirts with the tattoo-
like Dance Trance logo, students of all ages and dance-experi-
ence levels mimic instructor Melissa Dameron-Vines' moves.
Switching between recent hip-hop beats such as "Don't
Cha" by the Pussycat-Dolls and hard-rock favorites such as
"Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith, Dameron-Vines leads the
class through what she describes not as a workout, but "dance
therapy."
"You don't think about that bad day at work, everything
gets left at the door," she said.
Dance Trance Fitness was created by Jay Hadline in 1993,
and its first central location was in Birmingham, Ala. Dameron-
Vines has been involved with Dance Trance since 1993 when
she took a Dance Trance Master Class in Birmingham.
She was one of four substitute instructors for Dance Trance
until Hadline moved the home-base studio to Jacksonville in
1998.
In August 2004, Dameron-Vines and her husband moved to
Gainesville so he could attend UF.
With a little help from Orion Fitness, 3441 W University
Ave., Dance Trance Gainesville was born.
Dameron-Vines said the main difference between Dance
Trance and a regular workout is the opportunity to break the
grind of daily life.
"We're so inhibited in daily life," she said. "You can't bust
out a hip roll in the middle of work or in the grocery aisle.
That's totally normal here in class."
Dameron-Vines also considers the music in the class another
major asset of Dance Trance. Using the latest hip-hop and rock
beats, Dance Trance dancers rock out for an hour to an hour
and a half. Dameron-Vines thinks the music is so important

and the rest of the country.
that she even hired a DJ to spin live at one of the classes. Dance Trance classes are offered at Orion Fitness on Monday
"Music is a huge influence, it's a fundamental part of Dance and Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. and Saturday at 9 a.m. It is $10 per
Trance," Dameron-Vines said. "It gives you a club feel without class or free with an Orion Gym membership.

Comfort, excitement found in sex with the ex

she had slept with her
ex-boyfriend-once-re-
moved, instead of questioning the
long-term conflicts or soon-to-be
problems, my curiosity piqued on
one point.
Was it old and comfortable or
new and exciting?
She responded, "Both."
As I find myself falling into a
specific sexual routine with my boy-
friend, I find the greatest satisfaction
in the slight variations on our old,
comfortable habits. It's like hearing

similar experience, I couldn't help
but be a little envious. I can never
decide whether I prefer old and

habit or the high. Some people's
preferences show in their relation-
ship patterns.

consistency isn't that difficult either.
So then you can get both the stability
and the ecstasy.
Monogamous sex can have its
own great highs as well, as long as
a couple works on variety. Fighting
sexual atrophy in relationships is
the easiest way to prevent boredom,
according to sex therapists and TV
sitcom writers. If achieving these
ideals were that simple, sex thera-
pists would be unnecessary.

encourage any chance to blend the
styles and achieve the semi-elusive

Grad students' poetry inspires, offers cheap date
P oetry does not have to be
scary. Contrary to my initial
fears, the first poetry and fic-
tion reading of the Writers at Florida
series held at Goerings Book Store
was inspirational. And it was free.
I drove down University Avenue
in dread. I pictured a- candle-lit
room, unwelcoming stares from
critical, artsy eyes, and pointed
questions relating to my opinion on
Sylvia Plath's contribution to mod-
em poetry.
My worries proved unfounded.
In fact, every light in Goerings was
on for the reading. No one discrimi-
nated against me because I don't
color my hair, wear fishnet hose, or
snap in response to something I like.
Even the guy with an almost-mullet
in front of me was nice.
About 25 people gathered
last Thursday to listen to Saara
Raappana and Georgia Gelmis, both
candidates for UF's Masters of Fine
Arts program, read selections from
their original works.
Raappana's poems covered a
wide range of themes. A hatred of
laundromats inspired her to write
one of my favorites. Like Raappana,
haven't we all wished for 30 more
pairs of underpants to stall the
washing process?
Gelmis read a haunting short
story, after prematurely apologizing
if she "blushed furiously." Her story
painted pictures that still appear in
my head.
The introductions of both writers
were almost Ss entertaining as their
readings. This is not a slam on their
creative works but high praise for
the MCs' creative antics. Gelmis'
intro included a short story she al-
legedly wrote in grade school about
a faithful pony
that turned into
a beautiful prin- '
cess after many
years between
its master's legs.
She denied hav-
ing written the story. Either way, I
laughed.
Audiences will have similar op-
portunities to enjoy good introduc-
tions and good writing for months
to come.,
Every Thursday at 8 p.m.,
th
through Dec. 8, two students or
alumni will read their original work
at Goerings with a reception to fol-
low.
John Mahon, Goerings' manager,
describes the series, which is co-
sponsored by the
Diana Jo department of
Godfrey English and the
Cheap Beat graduate creative
eavanue@alligator.org writing program,
as a "rite of pas-
sage" for students
in the M.F.A. program.
Ali Lomneck, a second-year stu-
dent at SFCC, ventured to her first
reading a few weeks ago for- extra
credit. She came back because she
said she values the insight of hear-
ing a poem in the author's own
voice.
So, even if you have been scared
by high school teachers who made
you write reflections on Robert
Frost, give poetry a fresh start.
While it's not polite to deceive a
date, taking them to a poetry read-
ing may give you bonus sensitivity
points. You may even be moved to
go home, dust off your old journal
and write. Poetry is not reserved for
professionals, go try it. The show
will begin at 8:30 p.m.
Go with an open mind. Relish in
this artistic escape. Even if you don't
like it, one day you will find yourself
in a situation where the I've-actu-
ally-been-to-a-poetry-reading card
will pay off, and you didn't even
have to pay.

Rock is a "melting pot of butter" that en-

it all sounds the same and would like to see
jazz and funk come back in new forms.

X-Men worth the long wait
X-Men Legends II
Activision/Marvel
iF'j. Never before have uneasy alli-
ances been so much fun.
In X-Men Legends II,
Activision's and Marvel's new
video game released for all major systems on
Sept. 21, everyone's favorite mutant heroes are
forced to team up with their most common
enemies, Magneto and his Brotherhood of
Mutants.
Why?
To save the world, of .
course. Apocalypse, the aptly
named immortal super-mu-
tant, is doing stuff. Bad stuff.
And only this unlikely team
can stop him. (Duh.)
Like its predecessor, Legends II grants a
single gamer control over a team of four mu-
tants, or allows anywhere from one to three
of his friends to assist him in his battle against
Apocalypse's nearly infinite horde.
The game is exponentially more fun as more
people play.
And more so than before, gameplay in
Legends II is rewarding and diverse. Every
character has about 10 individual powers such
as super strength, flight, freeze beams and even
teleportation.
Though some characters share "passive"
powers, individual attacks reveal every hero
has his own niche in combat, demanding that
you try them all. Even similar bruisers like
Juggernaut and Colossus have different attacks,
powers and weaknesses.
So whether controlled by a buddy, or AI,
every mutant acts like he or she should. Cyclops
leads, sending orders and eye blasts in every
direction. Toad double-jumps out of trouble,
tongue attacks from safety and spits goo. Fan-
favorite Wolverine is still "the best at what he
does."
With all that variety, the team possibilities
are endless.
Only when you aren't, fighting does the
tension between X-Men
Brett and the Brotherhood
Kelman rear. Between missions,
Don't Hate the Playa mutants from one team
theavenue@alligator.org poke fun at or threaten
the other, and the poten-
tial brawl escalates until
Papa Xavier steps in and settles the kids down.
These cheesy cut scenes may be just a chance
for a bathroom break amid long sprees of action,
but it can be funny to watch the professor lay
down the law. ("Robert! Be quiet!")
My only grievance with X-Men Legends
I is that while the Brotherhood characters
play so well, only four get to fight. Sabertooth,
Mystique, Quicksilver and even Blob a pretty
formidable team right there are all included
but only as non-playable characters.
X-Men Legends II is a game I have been
looking forward to since the moment three of
my buddies and I beat its predecessor. A year's
worth of anticipation birthed some uncanny
expectations, but this gem simply refused to
disappoint.
Play shows sad, real life
You've still got time to see a cli-
che-breaking play, on your very
own UF campus.
The Constans Theatre has a show
that will make you run to the nearest
blues bar, hoping to catch a good act.
"Side Man" offers a story line that
goes beyond the well-known image
of a jazz player at a bar. It goes into
the life story of a trumpet player's son
and his complicated life.
Clifford tells the
story of how his
parents met and
essentially ruined
each other's lives,
while explaining
why he thinks they
were happier before he was born.
He drives that point home when.
his mother explains it's his fault she
never got to see Frank Sinatra. He was
born on the day she was supposed to
go to the concert.
The play also describes the rela-
tionship between Clifford, his father
Gene, and his fellow jazz players.
Those on the bar scene include:
loose-lady bartender Patsy; Ziggy,
a player with a lisp; Jonesy, a drug-
gie jazzman; and Al, who refers to
a very good trumpet player as a
"mother[expletive]!"
Clifford describes his memories
of his father as a jazz player who was
flexible enough to do both backup
and leads a "Side Man."
He also narrates how his parents
first met and their wedding night that
ended in jail. He says after he was
born, things progressively got worse.
Clifford can tell you all this be-
cause he is essentially the one who
held the family together all his life.
His mother
Gabriella couldn't do it be-
Vigier cause she was too
Curtain Call drunk, and his fa-
theavenue@alligator.org other was indecisive
about everything
except his music.
As Clifford puts it, his father was
aware of everything when he was
playing the trumpet and of nothing
when he was not.
The set of the play is amazingly
authentic. It gives the audience an
even greater chance of being pulled
into this realistically sad story.
You can't help but feel for Clifford.
Who wouldn't feel for a guy who
basically took care of his incapable
parents all his life and was afraid to
move on because he worried about
what they'd do if he left?
This one's worth seeing.

Everyman hero pleases all ages
Bone: Out from Boneville
Telltale Games
I love Bone!
OK, now that I have your at-
tention, get your filthy mind. out of the
gutter and listen up.
For all you fans of Jeff Smith's comic
"Bone," be sure to check out the video
game adaptation of "Bone: Out from
Boneville" by Telltale Games. There's a
free demo available on the Web, kids.
And for the rest of you, here's the
skinny: Jeff Smith created "Bone" back
in 1991 and worked on it intermittently
until finishing the 55-issue saga about
Fone Bone and his cousins Phoney Bone
and Smiley Bone in 2004. The comic
- which has won multiple awards, in-
cluding the prestigious Eisner Awards
and Harvey Awards follows Fone
Bone, the everyman hero, through a
tale that falls somewhere between the
stories of J.R.R. Tolkien and Walt Kelly's
"Pogo" comic strip. The comics have
been collected for your consumption
into nine volumes and
one all-encompassing
1,300-page volume.
You can also snag the
new volumes from
Graphix, Scholastic's
graphic novel imprint
for kids.
One particularly delightful thing
about the Scholastic reprints, other
than getting comics into kids' grubby
little paws, is that they're in color for
the first time. Don't let the Scholastic
thing throw you off though: "Bone" is
great no matter your age.
So now that we're all just about on
the same page, Telltale Games has taken
the first volume, "Out from Boneville,"
and made it into an interactive fun
house where you romp around as Fone
th
Bone, following the plot of the comics.
I've played the demo and let me tell
you, the voices are dead on, the dialogue
is straight out of the
Karo a comics or so charac-
Bielecki ter-appropriate that
Get Graphic you can't tell the dif-
Get Graphic ference.
eavenue@alligator.org ference.
My only com-
plaint about che
demo: It's too short.
But Telltale Games will give you the
rest of the Bone adventure for a crisp
$19.99, and that's a deal that even mon-
ey-grubbing Phoney Bone wouldn't
turn down.
So, even if you hate reading, you
can check out the video game, fall in
love with the characters, find yourself
craving more "Bone," and turn to the
comics. Somehow, I'll still feel like I've
done my job. Get the demo at www.bo
ne.telltalegames.com.
Sony-BMG gives away free stuff
The Sony-BMG Santa Claus seems to have found his way
into little old Gainesville with tons (and we mean tons) of
free stuff from artists like Coheed and Cambria, Switchfoot,
Augustana and The Fray.
The SideBar will hold a CD listening party (read, no live
music) on Wednesday at 9 p.m. for the label's artists. They
will be giving away shirts, CDs, stickers and samplers. For
those on the constant quest for free food, there will also be
pizza.
"We just want people to come out, have a good time
with their friends and pick up some cool, free stuff," said
Alex Brody, the Sony-BMG marketing representative for
Gainesville.
In addition to all of the super-sweet free schwag, the
Avenue has teamed up with Sony-BMG to give away two
tickets to the Coheed and Cambria, The Blood Brothers,
Dredg and mewithoutYou show in Jacksonville at Plush on
Oct. 30. To enter, submit your name and phone number via
e-mail to theavenue@alligator.org. The winner will be an-
nounced at the CD listening party.

Jackson set for homecoming
By ANDREW ABRAMSON
Alligator Staff Writer
Alabama or Auburn?
Auburn or Alabama?
Did Chad Jackson, a Parade
All-American and bona fide
future superstar receiver, re-
ally have a hand in deciding
what school would acquire his
services?
Sure, he had two choices.
Alabama or Auburn.
Jackson chose UF. And on
Saturday his hometown fans
have their first opportunity to
thank him in person.
"We'll see how the fans
react and how they treat me
when I come back home," said
Jackson, a Hoover, Ala., na-
tive. "I know they're kind of
mad at me because I left there.
"I've never been booed before,
not personally. I don't know
how I'll react to it, but I won't
take it to heart. I know where
they're coming from."
"It was real difficult. I
thought 'why did I come
here?' I thought about
transferring and coming
back home, but I just
stuck with it."
Chad Jackson
UF Receiver
How could Jackson not un-
derstand the pain and disbelief
felt by the entire Crimson Tide
community?
With no professional sports
team to speak of, the Hoover
youth has a glorified team dad
with tradition just 45 minutes
west in Tuscaloosa.
And when you're the big-
gest star on a state champion-
ship team, playing for Alabama
is more of a birthright than an
opportunity.
"He had the media, the
press, the Alabama boosters
on him. The teachers at school
were all Alabama fans," Hoover
High football coach Rush
Propst said. "They'd constantly
tell him 'I can't believe you're
not going to Alabama.
"Alabama is right down the
road. We can come see you play,
it's only 45 minutes away.'"
While Jackson says he never
thought twice about a fresh
start in a new state, Propst
remembers former UF coach

Tide could upset Gators
If.Urban Meyer and Co. are
smart, they won't take- this
Alabama team lightly, because
this Saturday has all the makings
of an upset.
"But wait," you ask, "LSU
isn't for another few weeks?"
Despite predicting otherwise
in the preseason, I don't think it
will be the Tigers who drop the.
first loss on
UF this year.

Alabama .has what it takes to
win for more reasons than you
may think.
First off, they will be playing
in front of a home crowd that
hasn't had much reason to cheer
in a long, long time.
I'd be shocked if Chris Leak's
streak of no interceptions pre-
vails in that hostile Tuscaloos.;
environment:
Second, Alabama matches up
really well to exploit the Gators'
weaknesses. Meyer calls Kenneth
Darby, the Crimson Tide's lead
tailback, a faster version of
Gerald Riggs Jr.
Combine his speed with
ninth-year senior Brodie Croyle's
knowledge of the game, and the
Gators defense will see the first
balanced offense it has faced all
year.
Finally, I think this game
means a lot more to Alabama
than it does to UF. For the Gators,
this is just another tough road
test before LSU and Georgia.

les about two-to-three yards off
the ball.
Although there wasn't sup-
posed to be a fullback, the coach-
es are quick to deny altering their
offense.
"We're still within our of-
fense," Drayton said. "We're just
playing into our strengths right
now."
Drayton said he will use
Latsko for blocking, running
and catching the ball out of the
backfield.
"He's getting a little bit of
this and a little bit .of that, but
that's how our offense works.
Our players have to be versatile,"
-Drayton said.
Last year, Latsko caught 11
passes "for 76 yards and two
touchdowns.
"He's got great hands,"
Drayton said. "He's a guy who is
going to fit into a lot of roles for
us on offense."
Latsko, who played mostly
linebacker at Buchholz High,
came to the Gators in 2002 as a
walk-on at that position but was
redshirted.
He was moved to fullback
prior to the 2003 season and
played as the team's main full-
back that year and in 2004, when'
he received a scholarship for his
efforts.
Latsko also plays on special
teams, and his versatility is one
of his best qualities.
"The good thing about it is he
has a full off-season in the spring
on the defensive side of the ball,
so if we ever have any depth is-
sues at linebacker, he can help us
there," Drayton said.
Meyer said part of the reason
Latsko is back on offense is be-
cause the only U-back the Gators
have is Tate Casey.
"I'm used to having, a couple
of guys that can give you short
yardage and that you can have
in the middle of the field," Meyer
said. "We need him. He's a lever-
age player, he's a great young
man and he's skilled."
Latsko is glad to have an in-
creased role.
"I'm here to help out the team
in any way Ican," Latsko said. "It
felt great, but now that I'm actu-
ally designated to the offense,
I have to keep preparing each
week and get better at offense."
Now, the player without a po-
sition has one again.

UF VOLLEYBALL
Gators sweep Bulldogs
Luanne Dietz/ Alligator Staff
Kari Klinkenborg stood up to a pair of experienced Georgia seniors, helping Coach
Mary Wise to a 3-0 victory against the Bulldogs in Athens on Wednesday.
By BRYAN JONES
Alligator Writer
Georgia coach Steffi Legall and assistant
coach Nicole McCray were major contribu-
tors in UF's streak of Southeastern Conference
titles. On Wednesday night, however, they
found themselves on the wrong end of a
Gators' win.
The No. 5 UF volleyball team (13-1, 3-0
SEC) defeated Georgia 3-0 (30-26, 30-28, 30-22)
in their third consecutive road victory to open
conference play.
Legall and McCray both played for the
Gators during Coach Mary Wise's tenure at
UF. McCray was not only up against her
former coach in the match, but also her sister,
Amber McCray, who is UF's starting opposite
hitter.
Faced with the task of matching up against
Georgia's star middle blocker Alexandra
Oquendo, UF sophomore Kari Klinkenborg
responded with possibly the best performance
of her career. Klinkenborg came up with a
career-high 13 kills and 5 block assists, while
hitting .611 in the match.
"She was terrific in all parts of the game,"
Wise said. "We have told our team that we
have so many different talents that any one
player on any given night can lead your team,
and tonight I felt it was Kari's night.
"You have to think that for Georgia, that
Kari Klinkenborg wasn't going to be at the top
of their scouting chart."
Despite being swept, Georgia challenge(
the Gators in all three games, especially bi
game two, where an error on UF's lineup carn
caused a flurry of confusion for the Gators.
"If you want to know how valuable [assis
tant coach] Nick Cheronis is to our staff, for 1'
years he has been able to read my handwrit
ing," Wise joked. "If I had better handwriting
it would have been seen, but we put the lineup
in wrong because it was just read wrong."
"You have to think that for Georgia,
that Karl Klinkenborg wasn't going
to be at the top of their scouting
chart."
Mary Wise
UF volleyball coach
The confusion forced some UF players tc
play out of position, but they rallied to wir
the game 30-28.
While Wise said the down official did not
do her job, as she should have spotted the
mistake right off the bat, she was just proud ol
how her team responded.
"I didn't throw the official under the bus; 1
threw me under the bus," Wise said. "[I told
the team] I made the mistake and now, I need
you guys to play hard here and make up foi
our mistake. And they really did."

Jackson considered transfer after playing limited role during freshman season
JACKSON, from page 20
Ron Zook spending four hours in the Jackson
home giving his spiel, while former Alabama
coach Mike Price who was forced to leave
the school in a scandal before ever coaching
a game spent about 30 minutes recruiting
Jackson.
"I think if Mike Shula had been the football
coach here with the staff [of Alabama natives]
he presently has, I think, [Alabama] would
have had a better chance to land him," Propst
said.
But Chad was always a kid who wanted
to go out of state and he made up his mind a
long time ago."
That was three years ago.
Now, Jackson returns home every bit the
star the locals expected him to become.
With Alabama's most meaningful game
this decade quickly approaching, Jackson
could be the man vwho derails any plans of a
Crimson Tide revival.
Since Urban Meyer and his spread offense
arrived in Gainesville in January, the first-year
UF coach made it dear that Jackson would be
a key ingredient to a Southeastern Conference
championship.
Jackson's 32 receptions put him on pace
to eclipse Carlos Alvarez's 36-year old
school record of 88 receptions in a season.
Reidel Anthony's record of 18 touch-
down receptions is also in danger of falling
-Jackson already has six and another on the
ground.
"He's a big receiver, very athletic, and
he can catch," UF tailback Skyler Thornton
said. "He can practically do anything he
wants to anybody out there on that field."
That is now, but at one point Jackson
couldn't do anything to anyone on the field.
Despite his accolades coming out of
Hoover, and his public spurning of the Tide,
a dejected Jackson saw just limited time on
special teams his freshman season.
Propst said he was disappointed Zook
didn't just redshirt Jackson instead of wast-
ing a'year of eligibility.
But Propst said he couldn't blame Zook,
since Jackson apparently came to UF har-
.boring somewhat of a negative work ethic.
"It was real difficult," Jackson said. "I
thought 'why did I come here?' I thought
about transferring and coming back home,
but I just stuck with it."
Jackson decided to let his talent speak
for itself.
In the 2004 game against Tennessee,
Jackson recorded just one catch. But a sin-

to announce his arrival.
After that, it was one big play "after

"Big Play Chad" by his teammates. <4W

an easy schedule so far, have had
plenty of time to prepare for UF.
"This game against the Gators
has been the one we have been
looking at since the summer,"
Croyle said. "A win against UF
would show people we are back
on track."
In his weekly press conference
Monday, Meyer admitted that
he really hadn't looked at this
Alabama team.
Those words sound like a
death sentence from a coach who
prides himself on preparation.
. What was it that Meyer pro-
claimed when he first arrived in
Gainesville?
"There's no such thing as luck,
there's a big word called invest-
ment," Meyer said. "I've never
been involved in a game where
the most invested team lost."
Still, the Gators have a shot
to win because of the advantage
they have in the head coach de-
partment.
Meyer is riding a 20-game
winning streak, while Alabama
Coach Mike Shula has only de-
feated one Top 25 team during
his tenure there.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2005 ONE NATION UNDER GATO Megan Schaub / Alligator Student Body executive officials Joyce Medina, Joe Goldberg and Lindsay Cosimi (from left) celebrate the announcement of the Gator Party's winnings at the Orange & Brew on Wednesday at midnight. Campaigns fle several complaints By JUSTIN RICHARDS Alligator Writer jrichards@alligator.org His rejection of two Impact Party campaign posters raised questions about the breadth of the Student Government supervisor of elections' powers. One poster featured a quote from Student Senate Budget and Appropriations Cormnittee Chairwoman Jackie Pace that read, "In the past we kind of tended to give away money" and cited an Aug. 31 Alligator article that quoted Pace. Impact officials said they verified the quote with a tape recording of the Senate meeting at which Pace, a Gator Party senator, spoke. The poster comprises only Pace's quote, "There's definitely a distinction between dirty campaigning and truthful campaigning. The function of elections is to hold elected officials accountable." Thomas Jardon Impact Party president the phrase, "Vote Impact," and the words required on campaign material by SG statutes. "I felt that it was a direct attack on Ms. Pace," Supervisor of Elections Daniel Maland said. Though this power is not specified in the election codes, Maland said he can deny the use of offensive campaign material. He deemed offensive material tobe anything that "has the potential to put the general student body in a state of discomfort." Impact Party President Thomas Jardon said Maland's act was a violation of the party's right to free speech. "There's definitely a distinction between dirty campaigning and truthful campaigning," Jardon said. "The function of elections is to hold elected officials accountable." Maland also rejected a poster that read, "Vote naked," advocating a vote-from-home Internet voting system. Impact spokesman Adam Roberts said the party plans to file an official elections complaint about the posters' rejections. SEE COMPLAINTS, PAGE 5 Turnout nearly doubles Fall '04 By DAVID COHEN and JUSTIN RICHARDS Alligator Writers The Gator Party built more foundation for its nation Tuesday and Wednesday, winning most seats by a wide margin in this Fall's Student Government election. Gator won 40 of the 46 open Student Senate seats, while rival Impact Party claimed five. There was a tie for a District D seat between Impact's Amanda Kane and Gator's John M. Lloyd-Montgomery. The ominous total of 6,666 students voted in UF's first Intranet SG election, nearly doubling the Fall 2004 election tally of 3,727. Gator District B Senator-elect Mike Patrone found out today he will have a third term. "This is what college is for me," he said. Gator not only won the battle of seats, it captured nearly two-thirds of the total vote, counting multiple votes in districts with several open seats. "Obviously, our campaign really connected with people on the ground on-campus, person-toperson," Gator spokesman Thomas Philpot said. Impact President Thomas Jardon said he was optimstic about his party's future despite Gator winning about 87 percent of the seats. "I think we put up a better fight than anyone expected," he said. "I think this puts us in a good position to run a viable candidate in Spring." Impact spokesman Adam Roberts echoed Jardon. SEE ELECTION, PAGE 5 Election Results e -40 Out of 46 seats contested.

4, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2005 Board quashes Plaza homeless sleepover By ASHTON GROSZ Alligator Writer Members of the Downtown Redevelopment Advisory Board uianimously passed a motion Wednesday to disallow a planned homeless sleepover in the downtown plaza due to concems over its legality. The sleepover, organizedbyAlachua County Commissioner Rodney Long and the Alachua County Coalition for the Homeless and Hungry, violates an ordinance restricting the use of public spaces, such as the plaza, for sleeping. A pennit is required. "We're not sure whether awareness of homeless on the plaza benefits what this board is doing -trying to do." Karen Slevin Downtown Redevelopment Advisory Board's staff liaison During the meeting, regulations "that prohibit the use of public spaces for private uses that result in persons eating, sleeping and using public outdoor 'rooms' as living quarters" were stressed in a city report revised by board member Linda McGum. Yet last October, UJF's Gators for Kerry camped out overnight in the pla-' za for at least 12 hours to vote early the next morning, said College Democrats President Stephanie Sims. She said she believed the group had to reserve a permit beforehand. The board also expressed concem the sleepover would counter the board's efforts to add aesthetic appeal downtown, encourage safety and promote development in the area. "We're not sure whether awareness of homeless on the plaza benefits what this board is doing -trying to do," said staff liaison Karen Slevin. A planning meeting is scheduled for Monday, and Jon DeCarmine, project specialist for the Alachua Housing Authority, expects to hear opposition from members of the committee regarding a one-night stay in an otherwise illegal public place. "There is definitely some concem," DeCarmine said. "There shouldn't be a double standard." He said Long asked him to help set up the sleepover, which also includes the annual Breakfast in the Plaza. The breakfast is for anyone in need of food, bike repair, clothing or food stamps. Long's whole idea is to make this issue public, DeCarnine said. "He wants to use it as a way to raise awareness of the people experiencing the plight of homelessness," he said. Long could not be reached for comment. SFCC Gator hopefuls gather info E MORE THAN 1,000 SFCC STUDENTS ATTENDED THE EVENT. By ALEXIS LLOYD Alligator Contributing Writer SFCC students floated through a sea of orange and blue, gathering information about UF admissions and transfer requirements at the annual Gator Day on Wednesday. UF admissions counselors donning their finest Gator gear answered questions, handed out information packets and offered advice to the UP hopefuls. Many student attendees knew exactly what information they were after. "I now know what I need to do to get in [to UF instead of wondering and wondering," said Alan Shealy, who plans to attend the College of Pharmacy once he finishes two more prerequisite courses. More than 1,000 students kept a consistent flow throughout the five-hour event at the SFCC Northwest campus. OFFICERS CAN NOW ISSUE WRITTEN CHARGES TO OUT-OF-TOWNERS. By KIMBERLY GOUZ Alligator Contributing Writer Confusion erupted over a Gainesville -Police Department policy that required officers to jail out-of-state residents who committed a misdemeanor crime. The policy came into question after two Tennessee fans were taken to jail in violation of the open container ordinance, a misdemeanor, while in-state Florida fans received only written citations. "This incident brought an outcry from the public," GPD spokesman Keith Kameg said. "Usually you sit around waiting for people to stop by, but I've had many. students coming by," said Lisa House, Food and Resource Economics undergraduate coordinator. UF Distance Learning Director Christopher Sessums had set up shop for his program's second year. "There have definitely been more students who have stopped by since last year," he said. "This is a great way to educate the Santa Fe cornmunity about what's going on and what's available at UF." The policy was amended Monday by GPD Chief C. Norman Botsford and allows police to issue a written charge to out-ofstate guests. aTi change to our policy PubliC has not in any way changed Safety the open container ordinance," Kameg said. "The open container ordinance is in effect and will be enforced, but now our officers have more latitude in dealing with out-of-state residents." The change in policy pertains to all misdemeanor violations and not just the open container ordinance. GPD will continue to carry out the open container law at fotbali games and otherwise, Kameg said. "We've seen a direct correlation between an increase in alcohol enforcement and better fan behavior," Kameg said. EZ Tennis Rackets -Tennis -Racquetball -Squash -Badmitton -Table Tennis.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 5 Wednesday's voting smoother than Tuesday SFCC reaches out By STEPHANIE RODRIGUEZ Alligator Writer srodriguez@alhigator.org In an effort to reach out to the East Gainesville community, SFCC revealed a 10-step comprehensive plan geared to improving the area. The five-year strategic plan will bring college resources to residents in high-poverty regions. "Santa Fe Community College has made a commitment to be certain that all the resources are provided equally," said 7 SFCC President Jackson Sasser. With a standing budget of more than $150,000, the plan is aimed at improving education, transportation, technology, volunteerism and communication with the East Gainesville community. SFCC has already provided $8,500 to three schools in East Gainesville to improve Sasser their FCAT scores. Students at Oasis Enrichment Academy were provided with pencils, pencil sharpeners, snacks and paper, said SharlaHead-Jones, principal. "I think hundreds and thousands will benefit from the services and programs that will be offered," Head-Jones said. In addition to providing materials for the students, the plan gave teachers stipends if they work after school and on Saturday to improve student's scores. "Our students gained 500-800 points [on the FCAT]," HeadJones said. The East Gainesville Initiative expanded its role in education by establishing an advisory board of 23 members at the downtown Blount Center. The board is partnered with 14 faithbased organizations. The plan will provide 32 computers a year to faithbased churches and several computers to the St. Francis House for homeless persons to acquire or improve computer skills. "We're there everyday to help students reach their goals," said Dean of Educational Centers Paul Hutchins. ELECTION, from page 1 "For the not-so-Greek party to win any seats in the Fall election, (that) hasn't happened in five years," he said. "This is the first time since 2000 that it's been anything but a clean shot. I could cry, but I'm really excited." Election problems were minimal Wednesday, in great contrast with Tuesday's complications. "We were up and running before 7:45 [a.m.]," SG Supervisor of Elections Daniel Maland said of the second day of Intranet voting. "Everything is running really smooth today. Yesterday was the worst anyone will see the system." Maland said the only downtime Wednesday occurred at the Holland Law School Internet Caf4. No one could log into the system before voting began. The location opened at 8:20 a.m. but no voters had arrived yet. Kent Tambling, vice president of operations for Accelerated Data Works, Inc., the company that digitized UF's voting system, said Tuesday's problems were due mainly to human error. Tambling said many poll workers never touched a mouse before. "Poll workers had to be trained on the new system,"-he wrote in an email. "They are certified poll workers from the county, I believe, and some were unfamiliar with web browsers." Tambling said the majority of comments about the new system on Tuesday were positive. Maland said the online system went through a test run before the election but every problem did not Both parties join in watchdog whistleblowing COM PLAI NTS, from page 1 Impact officials brought up this issue with Dean of Students Gene Zdziarski, along with concerns about Gator Party Rawlings-area candidate William Perry. They accused Perry of battery and sexual harassment. impact spokeswoman Allison Cullin said Perry catcalled to Impact campaigners, shouting phrases like, "Hey baby, I'll give you a real shirt," and "I'm always looking for a first lady." Party officials also allege that Perry knocked flyers out of Impact candidate Victor Bard's hands and pulled away a student Bard was campaigning to. Cullin said she spoke to Gator Party campaigner and Senate President Pro-Tempore John Boyles and asked Perry to stop his behavior, but the actions continued. "We just lament the fact that possibly someone like this will be representing the Rawlings area," Jardon said. Boyles and Perry declined comment, and Gator Party spokesman Thomas Philpot did not return phone calls from the Alligator regarding Perry. Both parties have expressed concern about votes submitted by Rawlings-area residents for Broward-area Senate candidates. Until 3 p.m. Monday, students registered in the Rawlings district could only vote for Broward senators. Philpot said those votes may need to be invalidated. "Students have a reasonable expectation to walk into the polls and simply vote and walk out and not deal with these problems," he said. The Impact Party filed election complaints Wednesday about polls opening late, polls out of order, a banner hung in the Plaza of the Americas, and unapproved, oversized banners hung outside fraternity houses. The Gator Party filed five election complaints, but their nature was not revealed to the Alligator.

Orly a cumulative exam would show all the bugs. "You can't eliminate all the problems in testing until you have a first full-scale test," he said. Senate Secretary Glenda Frederick said Tuesday's issues are not a valid reason to keep digital voting from calling UF home. "It works much better than PeopleSoft," she said of UF's implementation troubles with the finance and human-resources computer program. "Look how long (15 months) we've been using that." Maland said he was optimistic about the future of online voting. "You've got to give something a fighting chance," he said.

6, ALLIGATOR N THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2005 Editorial Gator wins Officials should allow true Internet voting o The Gator Party is the overall winner. Surprise, surprise. This bodes bad tidings for the Editorial Board, which has senselessly abused Gator officials nonstop for weeks. It also means these editorials are entirely useless. Don't we have any faithful followers? We're just going to assume that everyone who reads this meant to vote for Impact but had a terrible accident before they made it to the polls. And our ego doesn't stop there. We're going to tell those Gator senators exactly how they should run things, now that they've proven they don't need us. Better listen up. First and foremost, we want true Internet voting. If this election has shown us anything, it's that "secured-site" voting is a mess, mostly because of the unneeded middleman. Sure, this will make more students vote and could end the Greek monopoly. But it would give the whole campus confidence in Gator's dedication. And it would be easier to gamer votes when no one is thinking about what a pain in the ass it is. By implementing Internet voting through GatorLink and letting every student vote at home, Gator will show how wrong this Editorial Board has been all along. Wouldn't that feel good? But since this isn't likely, we'll move on. We've already discussed how most of Gator's platform issues are impossible to inplement. But that doesn't mean we can't tell them how to do it. And hopefully more students will get involved to help them attain some of their goals. If you can't beat them, join them -and then fight from the inside. Let's begin with their promise to close off portions of University Avenue for football games. We think officials shouldn't even try. It would just increase traffic and drunken revelry. We'd rather see Gator focusing on parking issues during games. Every home game, hundreds of students with parking decals are kicked out of their paid campus spots so big-shot alumni can take their place. Parking always gets everyone's blood boiling, and the last thing students need is less parking spaces. Isn't this school supposed to be about the students? Or do some alumni just give money to get curbside parking for games? But since Gator won most of the Senate seats, we'll assume that a closed University Avenue is what the voters want. Alumni are the key. If they want parts of University Avenue closed, parts of University Avenue will be closed. Done. The other issue we attacked this week is their promise to move toward "green", natural gas buses. Everyone likes the idea, but the funding just isn't there. We think implementing Sunday bus service on campus is the promise Gator should focus on. It's something students will immediately benefit from, and it's a nonpartisan issue. Gator has a chance to do some re-evaluating this semester. The Editorial Board isn't stupid; both parties had some good candidates ready to do some good work. These past few months have shown that spending needs to be controlled. Senators can serve their constituents by simply reading all the bills and truly thinking about the consequences before anything goes to the Senate for a vote. Don't pass off this responsibility to a few senators and then take their word for it. Senators should do the research themselves. Too often, bills slide through Senate with most not knowing what they're passing. Paying more attention can go a long way toward fiscal responsibility. a l the ind pandet florid.

It hasn't been used much since Saddam Hussein got booted, and no official name was provided for the axis' remaining members. But I'm proposing one, and I urge the president to start using it: the duo of evil. Last week, Israel's foreign minister said that Iran is six months away from knowing how to build a nuclear bomb. Considering that the Iranian leadership and the nation's president, alleged former terrorist Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, are hardly shy about declaring their intention to wipe Israel off the map, I can sympathize with Israeli concerns. But the European Union's major players are freaked out about Iran going nuclear too. The International Atomic Energy Agency passed a resolution Saturday stating that Iran be reported to'the UN Security Council for failure to prove the peaceful intent of its nuclear program. There were 22 votes for the resolution, 12 abstentions and one vote against. Russia and China were the biggest names opposing the resolution, according to Al-Jazeera. Big surprise. Russia is building a $1 billion nuclear reactor for Iran, and China hopes to exploit Iran's vast energy resources for itself. The one vote against the resolution came from Hugo Chavez's Venezuela. Chavez loves getting cozy withAmerica's enemies, such as Fidel Castro, Muammar Gaddafi and even Saddam. His country's vote was less about economics than it was about giving President Bush the diplomatic finger. Meanwhile, recent news out of North Korea has been as disturbing as ever. Pyongyang has requested that the U.N. stop providing food aid, partly because the government hates being dependent on the United States. North Korea is emerging slowly from a famine that wiped out 2 million people by some estimates, and the UN thinks this decision could kill more than 100,000 more. Six-nation talks with North Korea produced an agreement last week similar to one negotiated by the Clinton administration. The 1994 Agreed Framework paved the way for a policy of naive optimism and appeasement, which did not break Matthew Melone down until violations were unTaking Up Arms covered in 2002 and U.N. inspecletters@alimgator.org tors were kicked out. The new draft accord, which was initially hailed as a breakthrough, called for Pyongyang to give up its nuclear weapons program in return for economic aid and security assurances. But hours later, North Korea declared it would not dismantle any nuclear weapons program unless the United States supplied the country with light-water reactors for civilian power. Two days later, on Wednesday, the government accused the United States of plotting to "crush it to death with nuclear weapons." The very idea that America has to sit down and be diplomatic with these buffoons is insulting. They claim to have nuclear weapons and have threatened to test one to prove it, but America shouldn't make concessions based on speculation. If using the word evil to describe the thugs in Tehran or Pyongyang makes you want to roll your eyes, give me a call if you're still smirking when those regimes start using the bomb to blackmail their neighbors or leak nuclear secrets to al-Qaida. Americans do not have the stomach for regime change and another lengthy military occupation in Iran or North Korea. But if we don't start talking tougher about the duo of evil, we may miss our last chance to stop them. Matthew Melone is a political science and journalism major.

Guest Colurn H umanity's politics all over campus hen I was a kid, mymom used to tell me I would have to get used to politics for the rest of my life. I assumed she was referring to the meaningless bickering between parties every four years when the nation finds itself overcome with an election. I was very, very wrong. Recently, I've discovered that in actuality, my mother was referring to the politics of humanity The way we shout out accusations and cover our ears. The way we point fingers and am away. The way we focus our magnifying glasses and shun mirrors. Even here on campus, a haven for intelligence and discussion, the same politics force their way into every little debate. Republicans say Democrats lack patience, patriotism and strength. Democrats claim Republicans lie, swindle and are trigger-happy. African Americans clain that minorities are still oppressed by a CaucasianAndrewAun dominated Speaking Out society that doesn't care about their comunuity's needs. Caucasians say racism doesn't exist anymore in mainstream culture. Even recently, we've dealt with this same issue on campus. Kanye West claimed George Bush doesn't care about black people, while Bush's defenders are pointing at Condoleezza Rice and statistics to prove otherwise. There is no way that every single one of these groups or people are right, and it's impossible they're all wrong. But none of them are willing to admit any truth in their opposition's argument, nor are they going to proclaim the holes in their-own. Let's be honest for a second. Our nation is far from perfect, but it's not evil or worthy of the term 'the great Satan" either. We've supported terrorism, but we've also done a lot of really good things for the world. Furthermore, the politics of our officials do not directly represent the beliefs and thoughts of our people, who have much more in common with the rest of the world than we ever hear. Our nation has come a long Way from the segregation and racism of our past, but we also have a long way to go before we eliminate many of the unfair disadvantages minorities still deal with today Politicians are politicians, but I think we can all agree they each have different ways of getting to the same goal. I propose we re-evaluate the way we approach each other in our lives and our debates. Look for what you have in common with your opposition. Be willing to admit the points in your argrunent that are mere perspective rather than actual fact. Maybe if we start caring more for everyone's right to a voice rather than the volume of our own, we can leave the politics to the politicians and get back to being equal members of an open society.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2005 0 ALLIGATOR, 7 Letters to the Editor Airshow paid by sponsors; real problem is SUVs I am writing in response to John Kotsay's letter, which argues the Blue Angels waste government money on fuel, aid the elites and government profit from the $15 parking'. It is important for Gainesville citizens and UF students to know this is not the case. The corporate sponsorships and paid attendance of somewhere between $400,000 and $500,000 went to paying for the expenses of the airshow. All proceeds went to hurricane victims. According to Department of Defense regulations, the sponsors pay all expenses at the event except for fuel at the current government contract. The government contract for fuel is surely below the grossly hurricane-inflated prices they are now, so it is the patrons of the airshow that footed the bill for this one. I would like Mr. Kotsay to really think about the real fuel problem our nation now faces. Is it the overwhelming automobile fuel consumption caused by our insatiable lust for huge vehicles and unnecessary travel, or is it an air show that demonstrates our nation's military to its citizens and provides a means to recruit future leaders of our country, who will defend it from those nations causing these fuel problems.

8, ALLIGATOR N THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2005 ON CAMPUS Israe i study&, programs return By IVETTE MENDEZ Alligator Contributing Writer After years of absence, Israeli programs have returned to the Study Abroad Fair with full force. Two opportunities to study in Israel marked a change on the Reitz Union Colonnade on Wednesday. "It's calmed down a lot in Israel," said Lisa Berman, the admissions coordinator for the department of overseas studies at the University of Haifa. Since violence erupted in Israel five years ago, UF hasn't run the program, Bennan said. The program submerges students in the Israeli conununity with internship and career opportunities, Berman said. Students who take part in the program live on campus with Israeli roommates. "It's very important to us that students are with Israelis and not Americans," Berman said. Berman said parents are still concerned about their kids traveling to Israel, but they seem less worried than they used to be. The University of Haifa program won't take students anywhere that doesn't have any type of warning system, Berman said. "It's calmed down a lot in Israel." Lisa Berman University of Haifa overseas studies admissions coordinator The program aims for students "to continue their academics while experiencing Israel to the fullest degree," Berman said. Students get first-hand advice at the fair from students and faculty who have gone on successful trips in the past. The programs at the fair are all for class credit and can be covered by financial aid, said Lucy DiLeo, fair coordinator. Even if the program is not at O0FF Jiffy Lube Signature ,,,,e Jiff Lue Sgnaure The Well-Oiled Machine Services Oil Change For More information log onto: www.jiffylubesoutheast.com A the fair, students can approach the International Center about the trip they want, she said. DiLeo said traveling abroad adds to a student's resume and helps to differentiate them from other students. The programs at the fair are individualized to meet the student's specific needs. "I think a lot of students want to go to Israel, and we want to make that happen for them," she said. In a period of 15 minutes, at least eight students approached the Tel Aviv University table. "I have studied in Israel, and my sister studied at Tel Aviv University," said Sharon Markowitz, associate director at the office of academic affairs for its school for overseas students. "By the time you're done, you really have a great basis for being self-sufficient and traveling around the country," she said. Any UF student can apply for the program.

he THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29,2005 ALLIGATOR www.aII igator.org/avenue By MELISSA FILIPKOWSKI Avenue Writer Apple iPod nanos and high-speed wireless Internet connecLions hint at society's need for constant entertainment and distraction in all aspects of life. This need has spilled over into the world of fitness, and a new revolution of working out has been born. It's called dance fitness and it's the latest trend. Dance fitness is any dance-oriented fitness class choreographed specifically to the music. There are a variety of dancefitness classes across the country, but one called Dance Trance is hip-hopping its way into gyms right here in Gainesville. Sporting black Dance Trance muscle T-shirts with the tattoolike Dance Trance logo, students of all ages and dance-experience levels mimic instructor Melissa Dameron-Vines' moves. Switching between recent hip-hop beats such as "Don't Cha" by the Pussycat-Dolls and hard-rock favorites such as "Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith, Dameron-Vines leads the class through what she describes not as a workout, but "dance therapy" "You don't think about that bad day at work, everything gets left at the door," she said. Dance Trance Fitness was created by Jay Hadline in 1993, and its first central location was in Birmingham, Ala. DameronVines has been involved with Dance Trance since 1993 when she took a Dance Trance Master Class in Birmingham. She was one of four substitute instructors for Dance Trance until Hadline moved the home-base studio to Jacksonville in 1998. In August 2004, Dameron-Vines and her husband moved to Gainesville so he could attend UF With a little help from Orion Fitness, 3441 W University Ave., Dance Trance Gainesville was born. Dameron-Vines said the main difference between Dance Trance and a regular workout is the opportunity to break the grind of daily life. "We're so inhibited in daily life," she said. "You can't bust out a hip roll in the middle of work or in the grocery aisle. That's totally normal here in class." Dameron-Vines also considers the music in the class another major asset of Dance Trance. Using the latest hip-hop and rock beats, Dance Trance dancers rock out for an hour to an hour and a half. Dameron-Vines thinks the music is so important Holly Quirk gets into a recent Dance Trance class. The new dance fitness trend has become popular in Gainesville and the rest of the country. that she even hired a DJ to spin live at one of the classes. Dance Trance classes are offered at Orion Fitness on Monday "Music is a huge influence, its a fundamental part of Dance and Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. and Saturday at 9 a.m. It is $10 per Trance," Dameron-Vines said. "It gives you a club feel without class or free with an Orion Gym membership. going to a club."

Was it old and comfortable or new and exciting? She responded, "Both." As I find myself falling into a specific sexual routine with my boyfriend, I find the greatest satisfaction in the slight variations on our old, comfortable habits. It's like hearing a good cover of your song or seeing E Read critic Kevin Mahadeo's pick for the worst TV show this season at www.alligator.org. Also, chock our out extended event calendar and audiology. a favorite movie for the first time in a long time. When I heard my friend had a similar experience, I couldn't help but be a little envious. I can never decide whether I prefer old and reliable or new and exciting -the habit or the high. Some people's preferences show in their relationship patterns. My serial-monogamist friends cherish the safety of comfort sex, while my more promiscuous friends favor the exploration of new territories. The pros and cons are equal. Comfort sex provides safe, consistent and generally masterful orgasms. With all that prior practice and preparation, the stumbles and frills are gone, and all that is left is free-base sex. The same thing gets monotonous, and that holds true with comfort sex as well. Explorationand-discovery sex is anything but boring, thankfully. For me, as well, the greatest individual experiences have always come when the relationship was still young and fresh. Unfortunately, as all of my promiscuous friends say, you can never know beforehand whether someone will be good in bed. So even though new sex offers the greatest highs, Mr. Lube -they come handin-hand with Risqu6 Businessthe worst lows. I theavenue@alligator.org believe the best experiences come from blending the two. Hooking up can be its own habit as it provides a kind of immediate comfort. If you know how to ask for and get what you want, then sexual consistency isn't that difficult either. So then you can get both the stability and the ecstasy. Monogamous sex can have its own great highs as well, as long as a couple works on variety. Fighting sexual atrophy in relationships is the easiest way to prevent boredom, according to sex therapists and TV sitcom writers. If achieving these ideals were that simple, sex therapists would be unnecessary. So even if the situation isn't the best, such as sex with the ex,. I encourage any chance to blend the styles and achieve the semi-elusive comfortable excitement.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 11 tryI sres, offers cheap date Poetry does not have to be scary. Contrary to my initial fears, the first poetry and fiction reading of the Writers at Florida series held at Goerings Book Store was inspirational. And it was free. I drove down University Avenue in dread. I pictured acandle-lit room, unwelcoming stares from critical, artsy eyes, and pointed questions relating to my opinion on Sylvia Plath's contribution to modem poetry. My worries proved unfounded. In fact, every light in Goerings was on for the reading. No one discriminated against me because I don't color my hair, wear fishnet hose, or snap in response to something I like. Even the guy with an almos't-mullet in front of me was nice. About 25 people gathered last Thursday to listen to Saara Raappana and Georgia Gelmis, both candidates for UF's Masters of Fine Arts program, read selections from their original works. Raappana's poems covered a wide range of themes. A hatred of laundromats inspired her to write one of my favorites. Like Raappana, haven't we all wished for 30 more pairs of underpants to stall the washing process? Gehlnis read a haunting short story, after prematurely apologizing if she "blushed furiously." Her story painted pictures that still appear in my head. The introductions of both writers were almost s entertaining as their through Dec. 8, two students or readings. This is not a slam on their alumni will read their original work creative works but high praise for at Goerings with a reception to folthe MCs' creative antics.

So, even if you have been scared by high school teachers who made you write reflections on Robert Frost, give poetry a fresh start.

Poetry is not reserved for professionals, go try it. The show will begin at 8:30 p.m. Go with an open mind. Relish in this artistic escape.

12, ALLIGATOR M THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2005 X-Men worth the long wait X-Men Legen ds II Activision/Marvel Never before have uneasy alliances been so much fun. In X-Men Legends II, Activision's and Marvel's new video game released for all major systems on Sept. 21, everyone's favorite mutant heroes are forced to team up with their most common enemies, Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants. Why? To save the world, of course. Apocalypse, the aptly named inmortal super-mutant, is doing stuff. Bad stuff. And only this unlikely tem can stop him. (Duh.) Like its predecessor, Legends II grants a single gamer control over a team of four mutants, or allows anywhere from one to three of his friends to assist him in his battle against Apocalypse's nearly infimte horde. The game is exponentially more fun as more people play. And more so than before, gameplay in Legends H is rewarding and diverse. Every character has about 10 individual powers such as super strength, flight, freeze beams and even teleportation. Though some characters share "passive" powers, individual attacks reveal every hero has his own niche in combat, demanding that you try them all. Even similar bruisers like Juggernaut and Colossus have different attacks, powers and weaknesses. So whether controlled by a buddy or Al, every mutant acts like he or she should. Cyclops leads, sending orders and eye blasts in every direction. Toad double-jumps out of trouble, tongue attacks from safety and spits goo. Fanfavorite Wolverine is still "the best at what he does." With all that variety, the team possibilities are endless. Only when you aren't fighting does the tension between X-Men Brett and the Brotherhood Kelman rear. Between missions, Don't Hate the Playa mutants from one team theavenue@alligator.org poke fun at or threaten the other, and the potential brawl escalates until Papa Xavier steps in and settles the kids down. These cheesy cut scenes may be just a chance for a bathroom break amid long sprees of action, but it can be funny to watch the professor lay down the law. ("Robert! Be quiet!") My only grievance with X-Men Legends I is that while the Brotherhood characters play so well, only four get to fight. Sabertooth, Mystique, Quicksilver and even Blob -a pretty formidable team right there -are all included but only as non-playable characters. X-Men Legends II is a game I have been looking forward to since the moment three of my buddies and I beat its predecessor. A year's worth of anticipation birthed some uncanny expectations, but this gem simply refused to disappoint. Play shows sad, real life YFou've still got time to see a clich6-breaking play, on your very own UF campus. -The Constans Theatre has a show that will make you run to the nearest blues bar, hoping to catch a good act. "Side Man" offers a story line that goes beyond the well-known image of a jazz player at a bar. It goes into the life story of a trumpet player's son and his complicated life. Clifford tells the story of how his parents met and essentially ruined each other's lives, t while explainng why he thinks they were happier before he was born. He drives that point home when his mother explains it's his fault'she never got to see Frank Sinatra. He was born on the day she was supposed to go to the concert. The play also describes the relationship between Clifford, his father Gene, and his fellow jazz players. Those on the bar scene include: loose-lady bartender Patsy; Ziggy, a player with a lisp; Jonesy, a druggie jazzman; and Al, who refers to a very good trumpet player as a "mother[expletive]!" Clifford describes his memories of his father as a jazz player who was flexible enough to do both backup and leads -a "Side Man." He also narrates how his parents first met and their wedding night that ended in jail. He says after he was bom, things progressively got worse. Clifford can tell you all this because he is essentially the one who held the family together all his life. His mother Gabriella couldn't do it beVigier cause she was too Curtain Call drunk, and his fatheavenue@alligator.org ther was indecisive about everything except his music. As Clifford puts it, his father was aware of everything when he was playing the trumpet and of nothing when he was not. The set of the play is amazingly authentic. It gives the audience an even greater chance of being pulled into this realistically sad story. You can't help but feel for Clifford. Who wouldn't feel for a guy who basically took care of his incapable parents all his life and was afraid to move on because he worried about what they'd do if he left? This one's worth seeing.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 13 Everyman hero pleases all ages Bone: Out from Boneville Telltale Games I love Bone! OK, now that I have your attention, get your filthy mind. out of the gutter and listen up. For all you fans of Jeff Smith's comic "Bone," be sure to check out the video game adaptation of "Bone: Out from Boneville" by Telltale Games. There's a free demo available on the Web, kids. And for the rest of you, here's the skinny: Jeff Smith created "Bone" back in 1991 and worked on it intermittently until finishing the 55-issue saga about Fone Bone and his cousins Phoney Bone and Smiley Bone in 2004. The comic -which has won multiple awards, including the prestigious Eisner Awards and Harvey Awards -follows Fone Bone, the everyman hero, through a tale that falls somewhere between the stories of J.R.R. Tolkien and Walt Kelly's "Pogo" comic strip. The conLics have been collected for your consumption into nine volumes and one all-encompassing 1,300-page volume. You can also snag the new volumes from Graphix, Scholastic's graphic novel imprint for kids. One particularly delightful thing about the Scholastic reprints, other than getting comics into kids' grubby little paws, is that they're in color for the first time. Don't let the Scholastic thing throw you off though: "Bone" is great no matter your age. So now that we're all just about on the same page, Telltale Games has taken the first volume, "Out from Boneville," and made it into an interactive fun house where you romp around as Fone Sony-: G gives i The Sony-BMG Santa Claus seems to have found his way into little old Gainesville with tons (and we mean tons) of free stuff from artists like Coheed and Cambria, Switchfoot, Augustana and The Fray. The SideBar will hold a CD listening party (read, no live music) on Wednesday at 9 p.m. for the label's artists. They will be giving away shirts, CDs, stickers and samplers. For those on the constant quest for free food, there will also be pizza. "We just want people to come out, have a good time with their friends and pick up some cool, free stuff," said H vs th Bone, following the plot of the comics. I've played the demo and let me tell you, the voices are dead on, the dialogue is straight out of the Karolena comics or so characBielecki ter-appropriate that Get Graphic you can't tell the difeavetue@aigator.org ference. My only complaint about the demo: It's too short. But Telltale Games will give you the rest of the Bone adventure for a crisp $19.99, and that's a deal that even money-grubbing Phoney Bone wouldn't turn down. So, even if you hate reading, you can check out the video game, fall in love with the characters, find yourself craving more "Bone," and turn to the comics.

During UF's weekly press conference on Monday, the defensive end talked a little trash about Alabama. Mincey said No. 10 Tennessee, a team the Gators defeated 16-7, is a better team than No. 15 Alabama. He also claimed that if the UF defense plays well on Saturday, the Gators should leave Tuscaloosa with a solid victory. After practice Wednesday, Meyer responded to Mincey's comments. "I didn't like that," Meyer said, "but I love Mincey." Meyer's wife, Shelley,. asked him if he was going to punish Mincey since the coach once levied a former, trash-talking player with a two-week gag order. But Meyer said he forgot about Mincey's comments and isn't going to worry about it. "There's no harm in what he meant; there's no disrespect there," Meyer said. When asked if there was any similar trash talk during practice, Meyer added: "We don't have time to talk about what's Jarvit Herring has added to this week's collection of bulletin board material. Herring said Alabama's rich tradition wouldn't factor into the game and expects a UF win. said when Mincey opens his big mouth." .out what senior Jarvis Herring is saying these days. MORE FIGHTING WORDS: If Meyer didn't like As talk-radio shows in the BirminghamMincey's verbal jabs, just wait until he finds Tuscaloosa area were abuzz with reaction to Mincey's comments on Tuesday Herring poured fuel on the fire. Forget the 12 National and 21 Southeastern Conference championships the Crimson Tide has amassed during its 113-year gridiron legacy. According to Herring, none of that matters. "We don't care anything about [Alabama being forgotten]. We're going to win," Herring said. "We're going to take care of business. We're not worried about the past. [I don't care about] none of that." While the Gators likely will hear the state of Alabama's reaction to Herring's statements when they run out of the tun nel at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday, the strong safety isn't too concerned. "We come from the Swapip so there's nothing that we're not used to seeing," Herring said. "There's a big game 'cause the Florida Gators are coming to town." SHULA, AGAIN: In 1986, Meyer was starting his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Ohio State. His first game came against the No. 5 Crimson Tide. Alabama's quarterback at the time: Mike Shula, now the Tide's head coach. Meyer didn't even remember that until SEE FOOTBALL, PAGE 21 Jackson set for homecoming By ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff Writer Alabama or Auburn? Auburn or Alabama? Did Chad Jackson, a Parade All-American and bona fide future superstar receiver, really have a hand in deciding what school would acquire his services? Sure, he had two choices. Alabama or Auburn. Jackson chose UF. And on Saturday his hometown fans have their first opportunity to thank him in person. "We'll see how the fans react and how they treat me when I come back home," said Jackson, a Hoover, Ala., native. "I know they're kind of mad at me because I left there. "I've never been booed before, not personally. I don't know how I'll react to it, but I won't take it to heart. I know where they're comig from." "It was real difficult. I thought 'why did I come here?' I thought about transferring and coming back home, but I just stuck with it." Chad Jackson UF Receiver How could Jackson not understand the pain and disbelief felt by the entire Crimson Tide community? With no professional sports team to speak of, the Hoover youth has a glorified team clad with tradition just 45 minutes west in Tuscaloosa. And when you're the biggest star on a state championship team, playing for Alabama is more of a birthright than an opportunity. "He had the media, the press, the Alabama boosters on him. The teachers at school were all Alabama fans," Hoover High football coach Rush Propst said. "They'd constantly tell him 'I can't believe you're not going to Alabama. "Alabama is right down the road. We can come see you play, it's only 45 minutes away."' While Jackson says he never thought twice about a fresh start in a new state, Propst remembers former UF coach SEE JACKSON, PAGE 23 Tide could upset Gators .,Urban Meyer and Co. are *smart, they won't take this Alabama team lightly, because this Saturday has all the makings of an upset.

Alabama has what it takes to win for more reasons than you may think. First off, they will be playing in front of a home crowd that hasn't had much reason to cheer in a long, long time. I'd be shocked if Chris Leak's streak of no interceptions prevails in that hostile Tuscaloosa environment. Second, Alabama matches up really well to exploit the Gators' weaknesses. Meyer calls Kenneth Darby, the Crimson Tide's lead tailback, a faster version of Gerald Riggs Jr. Combine his speed with ninth-year senior Brodie Croyle's knowledge of the game, and the Gators defense will see the first balanced offense it has faced all year. Finally, I think this game. means a lot more to Alabama than it does to UF. For the Gators, this is just another tough road test before LSU and Georgia.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2005 K ALLIGATOR, 2L, .atsko's versatility leads to new role in UF offense By IAN FISHER Alligator Staff Writer ifisher@aligator.org Billy Latsko was a football ayer without a position. After moving to fullback from tebacker under Ron Zook, itsko had to move back to lineicker because Urban Meyer's fense doesn't use fullbacks. But Latsko played against mnessee on offense, then again Iainst Kentucky -a game in hich he also spent time at lineacker. "I felt back at home with hat I was used to doing these ast two years," Latsko said. [Former running backs coach like Locksley] did a good job f coaching me with the fullback chnique, and I've done a good >b carrying it over." Latsko got a taste of being a so-way player, but Meyer said atsko is going back to offense ill-time. "Billy is a journeyman," runing backs coach Stan Drayton aid. "He's going to help us out wherever needed. Wherever help 3 needed, he's going to jump up s there." But what is he? What position 3 it? His position is called U, the anye as Tate Casey, Meyer said. But Drayton said it -the Ireaded F-word: "Fullback." Drayton described Latsko's ole as a fullback or U-tight end. ,atsko lines up between the tackAndy Apicella / Alligator A linebacker-turned-fullback, Billy Latsko's position was terminated when Coach Urban Meyer arrived. Now, Meyer says Latsko will play on offense full-time. les about two-to-three yards off the ball. Although there wasn't supposed to be a fullback, the coaches are quick to deny altering their offense. "We're still within our offense," Drayton said. "We're just playing into our strengths right now." Drayton said he will use Latsko for blocking, running and catching the ball out of the backfield. "He's getting a little bit of this and a little bit of that, but that's how our offense works. Our players have to be versatile," Drayton said. Last year, Latsko caught 11 passes "for 76 yards and two touchdowns. "He's got great hands," Drayton said. "He's a guy who is going to fit into a lot of roles for us on offense." Latsko, who played mostly linebacker at Buchholz High came to the Gators in 2002 as a walk-on at that position but was redshirted. He was moved to fullback prior to the 2003 season and played as the team's main fullback that year and in 2004, when" he received a scholarship for his efforts. .Latsko also plays on special teams, and his versatility is one of his best qualities. "The good thing about it is he has a full off-season in the spring on the defensive side of the ball, so if we ever have any depth issues at linebacker, he can help us there," Drayton said. Meyer said part of the reason Latsko is back on offense is because the only U-back the Gators have is Tate Casey. "I'm used to having a couple of guys that can give you short yardage and that you can have in the middle of the field," Meyer said. "We need him. He's a leverage player, he's a great young man and he's skilled." Latsko is glad to have an increased role. "I'm here to help out the team in any way Ican," Latsko said. "It felt great, but now that I'm actually designated to the offense, I have to keep preparing each week and get better at offense." Now, the player without a position has one again.

On Wednesday night, however, they found themselves on the wrong end of a Gators' win. The No. 5 UF volleyball team (13-1, 3-0 SEC) defeated Georgia 3-0 (30-26, 30-28, 30-22) in their third consecutive road victory to open conference play. Legall and McCray both played for the Gators during Coach Mary Wise's tenure at UF. McCray was not only up against her former coach in the match, but also her sister, Amber McCray, who is UF's starting opposite hitter. Faced with the task of matching up against Georgia's star middle blocker Alexandra Oquendo, UF sophomore Karl Klinkenborg responded with possibly the best performance of her career. Klinkenborg came up with a career-high 13 kills and 5 block assists, while hitting .611 in the match. "She was terrific in all parts of the game,' Wise said. "We have told our team that we have so many different talents that any one player on any given night can lead your team, and tonight I felt it was Kar's night. "You have to think that for Georgia, that KariKlinkenborg wasn't going tobe at the top of their scouting chart." Despite being swept, Georgia challenge( the Gators in all three games, especially ii game two, where an error on UF's lineup car caused a flurry of confusion for the Gators. "If you want to know how valuable [assis tant coach] Nick Cheronis is to our staff, for 1' years he has been able to read my handwrit ing," Wise joked. "If I had better handwritin1 it would have been seen, but we put the lineup in wrong because it was just read wrong." "You have to think that for Georgia, that Kari Klinkenborg wasn't going to be at the top of their scouting chart." Mary Wise UF volleyball coact The confusion forced some UF players tc play out of position, but they rallied to wir the game 30-28. While Wise said the down official did not do her job, as she should have spotted thE mistake right off the bat, she was just proud ol how her team responded. "I didn't throw the official under the bus; I threw me under the bus," Wise said."[I told the team] I made the mistake and now, I need you guys to play hard here and make up for our mistake. And they really did." A radio broadcast contributed to this report.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2005 E ALLIGATOR,'3 Jackson considered transfer after playing limited role during freshman season JACKSON, from page 20 Ron Zook spending four hours in the Jackson home giving his spiel, while former Alabama coach Mike Price -who was forced to leave the school in a scandal before ever coaching a game -spent about 30 minutes recruiting Jackson. "I think if Mike Shula had been the football coach here with the staff [of Alabama natives] he presently has, I think [Alabama] would have had a better chance to land him," Propst said. "But Chad was always a kid who wanted to go out of state and he made up his miind a long time ago." That was three years ago. Now, Jackson returns home every bit the star the locals expected him to become. With Alabama's most meaningful game this decade quickly approaching, Jackson could be the man who derails any plans of a Crimson Tide revival. Since Urban Meyer and his spread offense arrived in Gainesville in January, the first-year UF coach made it clear that Jackson would be a key ingredient to a Southeastern Conference championship. Jackson's 32 receptions put him on pace to eclipse Carlos Alvarez's 36-year old school record of 88 receptions in a season. Reidel Anthony's record of 18 touchdown receptions is also in danger of falling -Jackson already has six and another on the ground. "He's a big receiver, very athletic, and he can catch," UF tailback Skyler Thornton said. "He can practically do anything he wants to anybody out there on that field." That is now, but at one point Jackson couldn't do anything to anyone on the field. Despite his accolades coming out of Hoover, and his public spurning of the Tide, a dejected Jackson saw just limited time on special teams his freshman season. Propst said he was disappointed Zook didn't just redshirt Jackson instead of wasting a'year of eligibility. But Propst said he couldn't blame Zook, since Jackson apparently came to UF harboring somewhat of a negative work ethic. "It was real difficult," Jackson said. "I thought 'why did I come here?' I thought about transferring and coming back home, but I just stuck with it." Jackson decided to let his talent speak for itself. In the 2004 game against Tennessee, Jackson recorded just one catch. But a single 81-yard touchdown reception seemed to announce his arrival. After that, it was one big play after another for the player already nicknamed "Big Play Chad" by his teammates. '4' "When he learns to take care of the little things," Propst said, "I don't think there's a better football player out there." FA RZAD, from page 20 an easy schedule so far, have had plenty of time to prepare for UF. "This game against the Gators has been the one we have been looking at since the summer," Croyle said. "A win against UF would show people we are back on track." In his weekly press conference Monday, Meyer admitted that he really hadn't looked at this Alabama team. Those words sound like a death sentence from a coach who prides himself on preparation. .What was it that Meyer proclaimed when he first arrived in Gainesville? "There's no such thing as luck, there's a big word called investment," Meyer said. "I've never been involved in a game where the most invested team lost." Still, the Gators have a shot to win because of the advantage they have in the head coach department. Meyer is riding a 20-game winning streak, while Alabama Coach Mike Shula has only defeated one Top 25 team during his tenure there. You'll have to wait until Friday's Picks Column to see my prediction, but consider this: Shula is 0-6 in games when the outcome was decided by 7 points or less. When teams are evenly matched, I always go with the better coach. CLh art in g Chad S Year Rec, Yds.
