Supreme Court nominee sparks protest
By TIM HUSSIN
Alligator Writer
thussin@alligator.org
Tiahna Larsen and other members of Voices for Planned Parenthood protest the nomination of Harriet
Miers to the Supreme Court on Monday in fear that Roe v. Wade will be overturned.
Amid constant honking, hoot-
ing and the occasional spiteful
middle finger from passersby,
members of Voices for Planned
Parenthood protested President
Bush's new Supreme Court nomi-
nee, Harriet Miers, on University
Avenue and Southwest 13th Street
on Monday.
Bush announced his pick
Monday, choosing a longtime
loyalist who has no experience
as a judge and whose views on
abortion are nof publicly known
- to succeed Justice Sandra Day
O'Connor.
The group held neon-pink
signs that read "Honk to save
Roe" and "Keep abortion legal" to
raise awareness.
"We're protesting today to let
our government know that we're
not going to stand by and let them
appoint extremely conservative
justices to the Supreme Court,"
said Baily Hancock, vice president
of Voices for Planned Parenthood.
Following Chief Justice John
Roberts' appointment, VOX fears
the new nominee will further
threaten Roe v. Wade,- the court
decision that defends a woman's
right to privacy.
"We're taking a stand, and
it won't be ignored."
Baily Hancock
Voices for Planned Parenthood
vice president
"It's the first day, back in ses-
sion, and there is a new nominee,
so we can't sit by and do noth-
ing," Hancock said. "We're taking
a stand, and it won't be ignored."
O'Connor was one of the more
moderate justices, and Hancock
said the new nominee might not
protect women's right to choose.
"Now that O'Connor is going
to be leaving, we need someone
just as moderate if not more liber-
al to fight for our right," Hancock
said.

Life Alliance, said she doubts the

The service is free to students, who receive

Student groups can. also send messages with-

The university also receives a percentage of
the Mobile Campus's advertising revenue.
Mobile Campus CEO George Tingo said
if his company were to acquire 50 percent of
UF's student population as members, a seven-
digit figure would be paid to the university
over a five-year period.
"It's a free service," Tingo said. "The school
is going to make money. What's hard to get
students to understand is there is no catch.
The university would not let me go through
with this if there was a catch."
However, students will have to pay their

Another wage increase may lead to higher unemployment
By IVETTE MENDEZ
Alligator Contributing Writer
Florida's minimum wage will
increase by a quarter beginning
January due to strains from higher
electric bills and rising gas prices.
In 2004, Florida voters approved
an amendment that increased the
state minimum-wage by $1. A pro-
vision of the amendment calls for a
re-evaluation of the minimum wage
each year depending on inflation.
Employers must now pay work-
ers a minimum of $6.40 for each
hour worked.
The cost of day-to-day living
including food, housing, shelter and
other services increased 4 percent in
the previous year, said Warren May,
communications director of the
Agency for Workforce Innovation.
May said he doesn't expect the
increase to have an effect- on the
unemployment rate in
Student the state.
Life "The minimum-
wage earners are a very
small percentage of the state's labor
force," May said.
Most places can absorb the in-
crease, he said.
"It could have an effect on the
hours that people work," May said.
"[An employer] could either cut la-
bor costs or raise prices."
Megan Prats, second-year eco-
nomics major, said the increase
helps her, though she fears such a
high minimum wage will raise un-
employment.
The Starbpcks employee said
she's not afraid of losing her job but
that other companies might not be
able to retain all their staffs.
"Some places are going to start
laying off because they won't be
able to pay all their employees,"

Rep: France committed to U.S.
* THE FRENCH AMBASSA-
DOR ALSO SPOKE ABOUT
THE EUROPEAN UNION.
By EVA KIS
Alligator Staff Writer
ekis@alligator.org
With a light French accent and
open arms, Jean-David Levitte
proposed to the United States
all over again Monday evening
in front of a standing room-only
crowd of more than 400 in the
Constans Theatre.
As the French ambassador
to the United States,' Levitte
addressed relations between
America and France as well as
the future of the European Union,
saying that though the French
people disagreed with the war in
Iraq, the country remains commit-
ted with the United States to make
the installation of democracy suc-
cessful there.
"The marriage is still strong,"
he said. "We are convinced we
have a lot to do together."
Levitte spoke ';,at UF after
spending three days in Hurricane
Katrina-affected Louisiana, once a
French territory and still a hub of
Creole and other cultures influ-
enced by France.
"The marriage is
still strong. We are
convinced we have a lot
to do together."
Jean-David Levitte
French ambassador
to the United States
"The events were covered in an
extraordinary way by the French
media, as though it were happen-
ing in France," he said, noting that
in addition to the French govern-
ment, many French cities, com-
panies and private citizens sent
millions in aid to the Gulf Coast.
"In France, you have everywhere,
deeply rooted in our hearts and
minds, a feeling of friendship, a
feeling of help."
The French are also adopting

jazz orche;tra,- from the area to
keep them together, Levitte said,
bringing them overseas as sala-
ried musicians to play at venues
throughout France.
"Each concert will be a fund--
raiser," he said.
"I do think many French-
remember what we owe to
America," he added, referring to
the Allied liberation of France dur-
ing World War II.
Though Interariional Center
Director Dennis Jett acceded of
President Bush's administration
that "one advantage of having a
faith-based foreign policy is never
having to say you're sorry," he en-
couraged attendees to "consume a
plate of French Fries and wash it
down with a bottle of champagne"
in the spirit of international rela-
tions.
Concerning the May defeat
of a European constitution by
French voters, Levitte said they
acted not out of fear of cultural
dilution but the perception of
bureaucracy-heavy governments
outside of France becoming the
standard within the European
Union.
"The no vote was not a no
against Europe," he said, citing
concerns held by many Europeans
about globalization and outsourc-
* ing, the moving of jobs to other
countries to take advantage of a
lower-wage workforce.
A clearer vision of the future,
such as resolution of the debate
about the admittance of Turkey,
a nation closer to the Middle East
than Europe in culture, into the
EU, is necessary for broad support
of a unified Europe.
Levitte also advocated "true
knowledge" of history, where
both sides involved in a conflict
read each other's histories of it, to
build a foundation of better under-
standing and encourage moving
forward.
He cited China and Japan as
two countries with an enduring
conflict that lack a forum such as
the UN.
"If you ask the French who are
their best friends, 80 percent of
them will say the Germans," he
said, but added that "there is still
a lot to do to make sure wars don't
restart."
Levitte has been a French dip-
lomat for more than 30 years and
in 2000 was appointed by French
President Jacques Chirac as French
Permanent Representative to the
United Nations.
His visit was sponsored by UF's
France-Florida Research Institute.

Early-morning fire leaves Gainesville woman dead
* POLICE HAVE A SUSPECT
IN CUSTODY.
By JULIA CARVALHO
Alligator Contributing Writer
A disabled woman died
Monday morning in a fire at her
home in Southwest Gainesville,
according to Alachua County
Sheriff's Office spokesman Lt. Jim
Troiano.
Catherine Fox, 47, was identi-
fied based on statements by her
live-in boyfriend, James Edward
Wilson, 40, who was arrested for
violation of probation and is being
held for arson in conjunction with
the fire at 1832 SW 42nd Ave.
"We feel that he's a strong sus-
pect," Troiano said.
Firefighters responded to a 911
call at about 5:38 a.m. and arrived
to find the home's roof engulfed
in smoke and flames, according
to reports.
They found the body during
their efforts to extinguish the fire,
but Fox, who was physically dis-
abled, was already dead.
Fox was the homeowner.
"The fire department did a
great job, as usual," Troiano said,
but added that not much was left
of the house.
Around After being
GaineSVille arrested, Wilson
admitted to po-
lice officials that he had poured
gasoline on the walls before set-
ting fire to the house. An autopsy
is necessary to determine Fox's
specific cause of death.
Fox and Wilson were liv-
ing together and had been in a
relationship for "a considerable
amount of time," Troiano said. He
added that there was no evidence
of domestic abuse in the couple's
relationship.
The Fire Marshal's office indi-
cated that the fire was deliberately
set, although the origin of the fire
is under investigation.

As local restaurant patrons satisfy their hunger
Wednesday, they will also provide the American
Red Cross with desperately needed funds for vic-
tims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Wednesday marks the second nationwide
Dine for America.fundraiser, in which participat-
ing restaurants will donate all or a portion of the
day's profits to relief aid.
From seafood to Italian to barbecue,
Gainesville's 19 participating restaurants offer a
way for even the pickiest eaters to support a good
cause.
"This is just one more thing that the hospitality
industry is trying to help out in whatever way we,
can," said Kerry Brock, general manager for Hops
Grill and Brewery on Archer Road.
Hops will be donating $1 for every 12 ounce
"Brewmaster" sirloin steak purchased.
At Fazoli's Italian restaurant, customers don't
even have to pay for a donation to be made: The
restaurant will donate 1 cent for each breadstick
eaten.
Breadsticks are free with meals or can be or-
dered as a meal on their own. On a typical day,
one location will serve 1,900 of the doughy deli-
cacies, and with 450 stores in the country, general
manager Don Creasy estimates Fazoli's produces
nearly 1 million.
To prevent food and staff shortages in antici-
pation of that day's crowds, local restaurants are
taking extra steps to ensure the fundraiser is .a
positive experience for customers.
"We just want people to be getting in and out
and having a great experience," said Chili's Grill
and Bar manager Bob Spraker. The restaurant will
be donating all of that day's profits from every
location to the Red Cross.
Chili's has most of its restaurants in Texas,
Florida and Louisiana. Consequently, 25 Chili's
managers were left without homes in the wake of
Hurricane Rita.
The first Dine for America was held on the
first-month anniversary of the Sept. 11 tragedy,
said Alyssa Prince, community relations director
for the National Restaurant Association.
For the first event, 8,000 restaurants contrib-
.uted $20 million to the humanitarian effort.
While Prince said it's difficult to predict this
year's grand total, so far nearly double the par-
ticipants have signed up to help.
"We've been getting hundreds daily," Prince
said. "I think we'll certainly reach that 16,000
mark."
One thing that makes this fundraiser unique
and attracts restaurant owners to it is the level of
flexibility it provides them, said Lea Crusberg,
Florida Restaurant Association spokeswoman.
"It's tailored to what the restaurant owner or
operator is comfortable with," Crusberg said.
Restaurants can choose any method of aid
they wish to provide, including all or a portion
of profits, a set donation per item ordered or
customer served, or simply funds collected at the
door, she said.
"It helps us recognize that we are the United
States. We are one country. We need to look after
one another," Crusberg said.
The following Gainesville restaurants
are donating 100 percent of their profits
Wednesday to relief efforts:
Bonefish Grill 3237 SW 35th Blvd
Carrabba's Italian Grill 3021 SW 34th St.
Chili's 3530 SW Archer Road

Some fear overturning of Roe v. Wade
PROTEST, from page 1
nominations will have a drastic effect.
"Our club hopes that Roe v. Wade will be
overturned," Keely said. "But we don't think
that will happen with these nominations."
Although VOX is mainly concerned about
Roe v. Wade being overturned, Ashlee Black,
chairman of College Republicans, said she also
doubts that it will happen.
Black said she does not think Miers' lack of
judicial experience or known views should be
a concern.
"More than half of the justices were not
previously judges," Black said. "She stands
by the president's philosophy, and we sup-
port it."
Pierce Butler, member of the Civic Media
Center, was concerned about protecting civil
rights and joined the protest.
Student "It's important that we try to
Activism protect our rights," Butler said.
"We're under attack much more
from the Bush administration
than America is under attack by al-Qaida."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Increase in state minimum wage tied to inflation
WAG E, from page 1
Prats said.
Prats predicted minimum-
wage workers won't lose hours
because the stores wouldn't
be able to handle the typical
amount of customers.
Third-year biology major
Robert Morris said he doesn't
think the wage increase is a
good idea and was against the
amendment.
"Obviously, yay for us,"
Morris said. "In the short term,
it seems like a good idea." .
The increase,- he said, will
affect more than just minimum-
wage employees.
"Owners still have to make
a certain amount of profit," said
Morris, a Southwest Recreation
Center student referee.
"In the short term, it
seems like a good idea."
Robert Morris
UF biology major
He said a decrease in jobs is
likely after the wage rises.
"People who use minimum-
wage jobs usually have more
than one job," he said.
Morris said higher-level jobs
could feel pressure to increase
their pay due to the $0.25 raise.
"It keeps increasing up the
ladder," he said.
Employees in minimum-
wage jobs cannot be getting paid
the same as those in higher-level
jobs, Morris said, so the wage in
those will also have to increase.
There is no requirement in the
amendment that any employer
raise wages above the new mini-
mum after the increase.
There is certainly pressure
to increase the wages of higher-
level jobs, May said, but it is not
necessary.
"The main effect will be in
retail and fast food, where you
find the most people making
minimum wage," May said.
Students must call to cancel
MOBILE, from page 1
Tmgo said every cell-phone
company will accept the messages,
but students may have to create a
payment plan.
"We're agnostic with the carri-
ers," he said.
Within the three weeks Mobile
Campus has been at UF, it has ac-
quired about 1,000 members and 20
companies willing to provide stu-
dents deals. Only one member has
quit the program, which involves
contacting Mobile Campus to end
service.
Tmgo approached Student
Government with his proposal last
Spring, and SG members saw poten-
tial. After a presentation to other stu-
dent leaders, information technology
professionals and administrators,
SG adviser Chris Cupoli introduced
Tmgo to upper administration.
The result was a five-year con-
tract, making UF the first university
to agree to use the service in the
country. Alcohol and sex promo-
tions are forbidden.
Cupoli said the system looks
promising.
"Everyone has a phone with
them," he said. "We can communi-
cate with students in ways we never
could before. If your power's down,
you don't get e-mail. It sounds silly
that e-mail isn't fast enough, but it
isn't anymore."
But Cupoli said the new system
is not a primary form of communi-
cation just yet.
"It's got to work first," he said.
"It's a tool that will be as powerful
as we can be creative."
Mobile Campus is lined up to be
an SG sponsor, which will cost the
company $10,000. That cost covers
advertising on SG's Web site as well
as at SG promotions and concerts.
Tmgo said the
Student plasma televisions in
Life the Reitz Union were
paid for by Mobile
Campus. He said a company is
hired to make the videos played on
the televisions, which are updated
every two weeks.
The University of Texas at Austin
is also looking into becoming more
mobile. UT Associate Vice President
for Student Affairs Stephen S. Janes
said it was the students' idea.
"It's just an ingenious solution,"
he said.
UT is one of 38 schools inter-
ested in moving forward with.the
company. SFCC is still in the deci-
sion-making process.

Bush picks inexperienced
friend for Court justice
W hat is it with President Bush and his penchant for
nominating vague, inexperienced candidates for the
Supreme Court?
If he would simply follow the expected path of favoring
scary conservatives, we could at least prepare for an all-out
partisan catfight.
Instead, we feel like we've been caught in a dark alley with
sword-wielding Republicans waiting to jump out from behind
trashcans and doorways.
Bush's successful nomination for chief justice, John Roberts,
had two years experience as a judge in the Washington, D.C.,
circuit. During the hearing circus, where partisanship drove
many to idiotic questioning, Roberts kept a superior calm.
He mastered the art of ambiguity while appearing to take
the high road. He was asked stupid questions, and he gave
intelligent answers.
But we really don't know anything more about him than we
did on day one.
It's impossible to know how he's going to vote, and it's hard
to establish his opinions when he rightly argues that those opin-
ions shouldn't mesh with his judicial duties.
In the end, both Democrats and Republicans had no reason
to approve him but also no reason to reject him. And without
the latter, a fiery protest just looks stupid.
Bush has caught on to the key of conservative success: nomi-
nate people with lightly documented histories.
Bush's choice for the replacement of Justice Sandra Day
O'Connor goes one step further.
Harriet Miers has absolutely no judicial experience.
Bush isn't the first to push such a candidate forward, but it
still seems really odd to us.
Can't we at least warm her up first with a position on some
less important court? Why does her first try as a judge have to
be tied to a lifelong position in the nation's highest court?
Miers has one thing going for her: She's a woman.
But women can be the playthings of evil intent. Remember
Eve?
Nominating a woman causes some to simply celebrate the
step up for females while ignoring other factors.
Miers' role in Bush's brand of immorality has more to do
with her experience than her lack of it.
Her resume is stuffed with White House appointments.
Since 2001, Miers has been right beside Bush. Before that,
her highest-profile job was chairwoman of the Texas Lottery
Commission.
At one point, she was even Bush's personal lawyer.
This isn't the resume we'd imagine a Supreme Court justice
to have. In fact, it's almost the opposite.
Miers is dose to Bush. For the past four years, her job de-
scription has been one of partisanship.
And now she's up for a position as an unbiased judge? It just
doesn't seem right.
The Editorial Board doesn't believe that Democrats should
oppose a candidate simply because she was nominated by
Bush. That would be pointless.
But Republicans shouldn't immediately support Bush's
nominees either. Of course, some are already angry because
they don't perceive Miers as a candidate that's conservative
enough.
They should thank their lucky -stars if that's all they care
about. Bush is in the middle of a brilliant political plan.
We just hope it goes sour.
Roberts has just enough judicial experience to squeeze into
the chief justice seat.
The line must be drawn somewhere, and Miers' inexperi-
ence is the embodiment of that line.

Column
Republicans' problems mounting fast
Famous philosopher George Santayana once wrote,
"Those who cannot remember the past are con-
demned to repeat it." I guess "The Life of Reason"
didn't quite make the Republican Party's summer read-
ing list this year.
Not surprising, considering President Bush was
learning about sodium chloride in "Salt: A World
History" when he should have been reading "The
Complete Idiot's Guide to Iraq."
The current political climate is eerily similar to that
of the GOP revolution of 1994.
At the time, the Democratic Party had dominated the
House of Representatives for 40 years;
Their arrogance led to numerous ethics scandals result-
ing in the resignations of House Speaker Jim Wright, Ways
and Means Committee Chairman Dan Rostenkowski and
former Rep. Tony Coelho of California.
As a result, Rep. Newt Gingrich was able to capi-
talize on the perceived corruption of the Democratic
Party and voters' dissatisfaction with President
Clinton's failed healthcare initiative. Consequently, the
Republican Party gained 54 seats in the House.
Traveling back to the future, the Republicans are
in for a world of hurt far worse than the Democrats in
1994. A recent G.allup Poll reported the Republican-con-
trolled CGogress' approval rating is at 36 percent, a low
comparable to the '94 approval rating.
Their problems are mounting fast.
Over 1,900 U.S. soldiers have died in Iraq, and.
President Bush still hasn't articulated a plan to address
the situation.
The government's response to Hurricane Katrina
was a disgrace.
Aaron Blye
BIye's Eyes
letters@alligator.org
Not very surprising consid-
ering FEMA Director Michael
Brown's resume had more pad-
ding than a Victoria's Secret
MiracleBra.
Karl Rove, the president's
right-hand man, is on thin ice
as the investigation into his
involvement with the identity
leak of a CIA operative comes
to a close.
David Safavian, a White House procurement official,
was recently arrested for his involvement in the Jack
Abramoff lobbying scandal.
Sen. Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) is under investigation for
insider stock trading.
And just when Republicans thought it couldn't get
any worse, House Majority Leader Tom 'DeLay (R-
Texas) was indicted on a charge of criminally conspiring
with two political associates to illegally funnel corpo-
rate contributions to individual candidates.
The Republican Party's problems are expending
Bush's political capital faster than Paris Hilton with a
government-issued credit card.
It's easy to criticize Republicans when their president
is in desperate need of some "Hooked on Phonics," but
this is out of control.
If the Democratic Party can't capitalize on the
Republican Party's embarrassing version of American
democracy after this mess, a baseless ban against two
dudes kissing will be the least of its problems..

column appears on Tuesday.

Letters to the Editor
Melone oversimplifies issues
I wanted to take the oppor-
tunity to thank Matt Melone for
his oversimplified, waste-of-time
column Monday.
How embarrassing that I could
have missed the logical leap
needed to fit critics of media corre-
. spondence in Iraq into two neatly
packaged groups of pro-military
and anti-military. I must have been
blind, being unable to weave the
distinctly complicated feelings I
think most every savvy American
viewer (and journalist) has about
our entanglements in Iraq into
two beautiful but separate rugs,
on which stand liberals and then
conservatives.
Melone's cutting, incisive ex-
pertise has shown me that ques-
tions about our entry into the war
are wasteful and unproductive,
and I am shamed by my past in-
terest in the devastation of New
Orleans.
But no more! As Malone sug-
gested, I will place my faith fully
in the healing powers of a God-or-
dained military (nevermind those
petty war crimes and sexually
humiliating photographs of Iraqi
prisoners) and smile quietly as our
boys emancipate those freedom-
starved Iraqis.

Republicans don't filibuster or
behave like Democrats
Here's a radical idea: If liberals
want to nominate and approve
their own judges, then more of
them should try getting elected to
Congress. But since that requires
old-fashioned, honest hard work,
we'll have to settle for their lazy
but predictable overreactions ev-
ery time the Republican majority
does something they don't agree
with.
I disagree with Matt Sanchez's
Friday column. Republicans
would not and will not behave
like the "congressional Democrats.
For example, look at Ruth Bader
Ginsburg's nomination; somehow
that left-wing judge got approved
with little heated debate. That
certainly doesn't sound like a fili-
buster to me.
Democrats are still sore after
losing so many seats in the last
election. They don't control the
executive or- legislative branches,
so they must take control of the
judicial branch in order to push
their agenda.
Newsflash: It is the right and
duty of the president to select the
judicial candidate he feels will
justly serve the United States of
America. That means he can and
will reshape the Supreme Court
just as many presidents have done
before him.
Wake up and understand that
this country is a democracy and
needs to represent all the voices
in the country, not just the ones
that are nasty and mean and can
scream the loudest.

Wynn On Sach Strday,
Wynn ran just 12
times for 47 yards, 31 of which came
during the fourth quarter.
Until that point, linebacker Earl
Everett was UF's leading rusher
with 32 yards coming off a fake-punt
reverse in the second quarter.
Running backs coach Stan
Drayton said Wynn and junior
Skyler Thornton looked timid hit-
ting open rushing lanes and was
impressed by the explosion Manson
and freshman Kestahn Moore pro-
Markus Manson against Mississippi
State. Manson entered two-a-days
with plenty of promise, but fell out
of favor with Meyer because of sup-
posed practice issues.
"When Markus gets on the field
he looks fast and we're looking for
fast right now," Meyer said. "We will
know Wednesday. He's in competi-
tion for the starting tailback position
at the University of Florida."
INJURY UPDATE: Four UF players
- three offensive linemen and
one receiver are suffering from
injuries, although none appear to
be too serious.

* COACHES PLAN RETURN TO OP-
TION-BASED OFFENSE.
By LOUIS ANASTASIS
Alligator Staff Writer
lanastasis@alligator.org
Dan Mullen heard everything he needed
to know about the spread offense's problems
on the flight back to Gainesville.
His wife Megan, a Golf Channel reporter,
was not about to let him enjoy the ride after
watching the Gators score just three points
against Alabama.
"She had some questions for me," said
Mullen, UF's offensive coordinator. "Thank
goodness she's just worried about golf these
days and doesn't put it on the air."
But Mullen isn't about to get off that easy.
A student body, a fan base and the national
media have several questions of their own.
Why weren't the Gators running spread-
option plays Saturday? Has the spread
offense been proven defunct against the
speedy Southeastern Conference? Basically,
people want to know how UF is going to
get back to the end zone, to improve-its No.
5 SEC offense. The answer? UF will live by
.he -pread or die by the spread at least
jor now.\

balov (Indiana State), 4-6, 6-3, 6-0
, "We are more committed, more than ever
now, to doing more and more of what we
know how to do," Urban Meyer said.
UF's offense Saturday was an ugly crea-
ture. It had little definition mostly a hoard
of stuffed draw plays and pocket passing.
That is about to change. Mullen and Meyer
realize that for the offense to run effectively,
it must spread the field, using every inch of
bright green turf.
I've gotten away from having the
patience to let those things work
out and let them go. You're not
going to have a great play every
single play."
Dan Mullen
offensive coordinator
"We have not done a good job utiliz-
ing the 53-yard width of the field," Meyer
said. "I think what we've kind of done is
squeezed it down."
That means the Gators must run the op-
tion, whether it produces 10-yard runs every
time or not. That means the Gators must use
the shovel pass, whether it gets stuffed at

Talent may need tinkering
t had been 708 days since Coach
Urban Meyer last lost a game,
but following an all-telling loss
in Tuscaloosa, Ala., it became very
real just how tough UF's Southeastern
Conference schedule is.
The Gators don't have the benefit
of playing a luxuriously soft Atlantic
Coast Conference-esque schedule,
with games against Louisiana State,
Georgia and Florida State still loom-
ing.
Meyer's most lopsided loss of his
52-game head-coaching career was a
stunner.
The Gator Nation's dreams of an
undefeated season under Meyer were
dashed.
It was as if a mammoth crimson
blanket engulfed Gainesville, suffo-
cating the fairy-tale rose petals that
seemed to line the Gators' path to
Pasadena.

S said.
Tenacious E Through this
eesteban@alligator.org point of the sea-
son, it's .evident
that UF isn't a great team, but rather
a good team with great expectations.
The talent and coaching is too good to
foresee a meltdown at that level again,
but there are many unanswered ques-
tions.
Prior to the Tide's roasting of the UF
secondary, ignited by Tyrone Prothro,
the SEC's version of Terrell Owens, it's
hard to recall a time when cornerback
Dee Webb was burned, or when safety
Kyle Jackson was out of place. The de-
fense can rebound from the mistakes

VOLLEYBALL ;:-c;d'Et-"u' ;
Experienced SEC toughens UF "
By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer
Fans of the No. 5 UF volley-
ball team saw something Sunday
afternoon that they haven't
seen often during Mary Wise's
tenure in Gainesville: another
Southeastern Conference school
giving the Gators a run.
The result of that match
against Kentucky may have
been a typical 3-0 victory, but the
scores of 30-22, 30-24 and 30-27
were significantly closer than the
Gators have become accustomed
to.
In two meetings last year, the
Wildcats never scored more than
23 points in a game.
"Definitely [it helps us]," se-
nior captain Rachel Engel said..
"Whenever a team pushes us
we always gef better, so that's
always good."
The difference for the Wildcats,
as it has seemed to be for many of
UF's opponents this year, is their
senior leadership.
Kentucky starts three seniors,
including Danielle Wallace, a
Port Charlotte native.
"The key to Kentucky is that
they have three seniors with a
ton of experience," Wise said.
"And then you combine the great
job that their staff is doing."
Kentucky will be in the hunt
here throughout the whole sea-
son. I think they can win a whole
lot of matches because of how
good their seniors are."
UF has been moderately suc-
cessful in their matchups this
season against teams that, by
comparison, have significantly
more experience.
"There have been years
where we've been here,
and it was hard to get the
players excited about a
match. But it won't be hard
to get them excited for
Friday."
Coach Mary Wise
UF volleyball
The Gators have just two se-
niors, SEC Player of the Year Jane
Collymore and Engel.
Although she holds the mark
of a veteran after surpassing 1,000
career digs against Mississippi
State on Sept. 23, Engel is seeing
only her second year of signifi-
cant action.
"It means that I am old,"
joked Engel about reaching the
milestone. "It means something,
but obviously I'm not counting
all my stats and keeping track of
those. But yeah, it feels good."
Wise saw Sunday's contest as .
a match where her team could
benefit from a 3-0 win.
"There have been matches
that we've played where it was
a 3-0 victory and we didn't get
better from it," she said. "I think
[Sunday], even though it was a 3-
0 victory, we did get better from
this experience."
With Kentucky concentrating
on Collymore Sunday, the Gators
were forced to look elsewhere
for offense, and Amber McCray
responded with a career-high 15
kills.
Wise was pleased that some-
one other than Collymore was
able to step up and lead UF when
the Wildcats were putting up a
serious challenge.
"I think that for us to win
3-0 with Jane hitting below 10
percent says really good things
about our depth," Wise said.
The Gators are now preparing
for a match against Tennessee, a
team with four seniors, including
SEC Player of the Week Kristen
Andre and All-American setter
Julie Knytych.
Because the Volunteers took
two out of three matches from
UF last year, including the SEC
Tournament final, motivation
should not be an issue for the
Gators this week.
"There have been years where
we've been here, and it was hard
to get the players excited about a
match," Wise said. "But it won't
be hard to get them excited for
Friday."

Intercepted audible signals concern Meyer
FOOTBALL, from page 14
Gators' performance Saturday, Meyer named only two
players to his Champions Club for UF's loss to Alabama.
Comprising the shortest list of club inductees this season
were junior receiver Dallas Baker and senior defensive end
Jeremy Mincey.
Leading all UF receivers, Baker caught six passes for a sea-
son-high 119 yards, accounting for most of the Gators 187 total
receiving yards. Mincey tallied three solo tackles and seven
total tackles while forcing a fumble.
Aind according to Meyer, no one took the defeat worse than
the latest inductees to his club.
"Talking to them, the look in their eyes, those were the two
most devastated young men after that loss," Meyer said.
MIXING IT UP: Apparently, Meyer is taking reports of Alabama
players being able to read UF's audibles seriously. After the
game, some Alabama defenders claimed the simplicity and
repetition of UF's signal calling afforded the Crimson Tide a
distinct advantage.
"We're college students," Alabama linebacker DeMeco
Ryans said. "You can't just keep calling the same signals over
and over again."
Said Meyer: "I did read that somewhere," Meyer said.
"That's something we're going to look into."
Offensive coordinator Mullen: patience is key

times or not.
"I've gotten away from having the
patience to let those things work out and
let them go," Mullen said. "You're not
going to have a great play every single
play. There are times when you don't
have a great play, and you have to have
patience to let the offense run."
Patience has been the coaching staff's
downfall at times, Mullen admits. When
Mullen saw the team, could not convert
on third down, could not run the ball
and could not block, it became The Chris
Leak Passing Show. That, against intelli-
gent, quick SEC defenses, won't work.
"[We've had Chris throw the ball] a
bunch and now it's time for him to get
more comfortable making the option
reads," Mullen said.
Until now, the coaching staff tweaked
the offense to cater to Leak and others.
While UF'will continue to do so, there
will be a greater emphasis on the very
plays that define the spread offense.
At Utah, 30 percent of the running
plays were option-based. Add one or
two reverses and six shovel passes a
garnvr and you have the intended of-
fense. The Gators have yet to apply
those percentages this season. For better
or for worse, they will start.
"You have to stretch the defense
horizontally and vertically," Leak said.

Chris Leak runs during the Gators' loss to the Crimson Tide on Saturday. He
will be using his legs more with UF set to unleash a true spread offense.
"If you make the defense run during the run. But out of desperation, UF never
game, it can make them really tired." went back to those plays again.
When the Gators did use the option "It's going to be having the patience
Saturday, they were modestly success- to stick with everything that's the
ful. On one drive, Leak gained 7 yards key," Mullen said. "[We can't just] throw
on an option keeper, and receiver Chad the ball all over the place, which we have
Jackson collected 12 yards on an option done a few times this year."
ESTEBAN, from page 14
they made on the deep passes from Croyle
with their talent, practice and scheme.
However, the Alabama debacle proved
that it's the Gators' offense that needs to be
tinkered with, regarding both play calling
-and personnel. In order for the plan to be
successful, the personnel-must be successful.
The Gators' offense experienced a breakdown
of Danny Bonaduce proportions please tell
me someone else watches that terrible show on
VH1 against Alabama's defense.
Redshirt freshman Markus Manson may
have a slight problem hiding on to the ball,
but the Gators need him in the game in order
to put some zip into the backfield.
During the spring, running backs Coach
Stan Drayton said Manson was the only one
of. UF's running backs who had "legit sprinter
speed." His speed could be utilized to make up
for the struggling offensive line, and perhaps
as a threat in the presently non-existent shovel
pass that was so successful while Meyer was
at Utah. The offense knew it would lose, some
speed when wide receiver Andre Caldwell
went down and now looks noticeably slower
without Bubba's speed at H-Back. And while
it's early in the week, Meyer is already experi-
menting with the group, taking receiver Mike
McIntosh off the practice squad for the first
time this year.
Still, the pressure is mounting for the start-
ing 11 to put the ball in the end zone early and
often against quality opponents.
"I'm looking for guys who compete," Meyer
said. There is a group of people who have to
play better. They're called the Gators."
At this point, the remaining season's out-
look is clear. Meyer's Gators are reaching the
turning point of their season, facing a slate of
three teams that defeated them last season.
If they want to show they're a different team
with a different mentality, gut check time starts
promptly after Wayne Brady's shtick.

VcycIle TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2005 Supreme Court nominee sparks protest By TIM HUSSIN Alligator Writer thussin@aligator.org Tiahna Larsen and other members of Voices for Planned Parenthood protest the nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court on Monday in fear that Roe v. Wade will be overturned. Amid constant honking, hooting and the occasional spiteful middle finger from passersby, members of Voices for Planned Parenthood protested President Bush's new Supreme Court nominee, Harriet Miers, on University Avenue and Southwest 13th Street on Monday. Bush announced his pick Monday, choosing a longtime loyalist -who has no experience as a judge and whose views on abortion are nof publicly known -to succeed Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. The group held neon-pink signs that read "Honk to save Roe" and "Keep abortion legal" to raise awareness. "We're protesting today to let our government know that we're not going to stand by and let them appoint extremely conservative justices to the Supreme Court," said Baily Hancock, vice president of Voices for Planned Parenthood. Following Chief Justice John Roberts' appointment, VOX fears the new nominee will further threaten Roe v. Wade, the court decision that defends a woman's right to privacy. "We're taking a stand, and it won't be ignored." Baily Hancock Voices for Planned Parenthood vice president "It's the first day, back in session, and there is a new nominee, so we can't sit by and do nothing," Hancock said. "We're taking a stand, and it won't be ignored." O'Cormor was one of the more moderate justices, and Hancock said the new nominee might not protect women's right to choose. "Now that O'Connor is going to be leaving, we need someone just as moderate if not more liberal to fight for our right," Hancock said.

Mobile Campus is a year-old advertising company that solicits college students through text messaging on their cell phones. UF is the first university to have the system. Students pick which companies they want to receive ads from when joining. The perk: Ads are required to give students rebates. One example -buy any Domino's pizza and get a small one-topping pizza for free. The service is free to students, who receive a maximum of two advertisements per day. Student groups can also send messages without paying. The company charges the advertisers that bring students the rebates. The university also receives a percentage of the Mobile Campus's advertising revenue. Mobile Campus CEO George Tingo said if his company were to acquire 50 percent of. UF's student population as members, a sevendigit figure would be paid to the university over a five-year period. "It's a free service," Tingo said. "The school is going to make money. What's hard to get students to understand is there is no catch. The university would not let me go through with this if there was a catch." However, students will have to pay their phone companies for the messages received. SEE MOBILE, PAGE 5 Another wage increase may lead to higher unemployment By IVETTE MENDEZ Alligator Contributing Writer Florida's minimum wage will increase by a quarter beginning January due to strains from higher electric bills and rising gas prices. In 2004, Florida voters approved an amendment that increased the state minimum wage by $1. A provision of the amendment calls for a re-evaluation of the minimum wage each year depending on inflation. Employers must now pay workers a minimum of $6.40 for each hour worked. The cost of day-to-day living including food, housing, shelter ind other services increased 4 percent in the previous year, said Warren May, communications director of the Agency for Workforce Innovation. May said he doesn't expect the increase to have an effect, on the unemployment rate in Student the state. Life "The minimumwage earners are a very small percentage of the state's labor force," May said. Most places can absorb the increase, he said. "It could have an effect on the hours that people work," May said. "[An employer] could either cut labor costs or raise prices." Megan Prats, second-year economics major, said the increase helps her, though she fears such a high minimum wage will raise unemployment. The Starbpcks employee said she's not afraid of losing her job but that other companies might not be able to retain all their staffs. "Some places are going to start laying off because they won't be able to pay all their employees," SEE WAGE, PAGE 5 "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" N As local restaurant patrons satisfy their hunger Wednesday, they will also provide the American Red Cross with desperately needed funds for victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

2, ALLIGATOR .TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4,2005 ep: France commm tted to U.S. 11 *1 THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR ALSO SPOKE ABOUT THE EUROPEAN UNION. By EVA KIS Alligator Staff Writer ekis@alligator.org With a light French accent and open arms, Jean-David Levitte proposed to the United States all over again Monday evening in front of a standing room-only crowd of more than 400 in the Constans Theatre. As the French ambassador to the United States,' Levitte addressed relations between America and France as well as the future of the European Union, saying that though the French people disagreed with the war in Iraq, the country remains committed with the United States to make the installation of democracy successful there. "The marriage is still strong," he said. "We are convinced we have a lot to do together." Levitte spoke at UF after spending three days in Hurricane Katrina-affected Louisiana, once a French territory and still a hub of Creole and other cultures influenced by France. "The marriage is still strong. We are convinced we have a lot to d o together." Jean-David Levitte French ambassador to the United States "The events were covered in an extraordinary way by the French media, as though it were happening in France," he said, noting that in addition to the French government, many French cities, companies and private citizens sent millions in aid to the Gulf Coast. "In France, you have everywhere, deeply rooted in our hearts and minds, a feeling of friendship, a feeling of help." The French are also adopting Letile ,oinran / Amiiigaior French Ambassador to the United States Jean-David Levitte speaks to UF students and community members about the French response to Hurricane Katrina on Monday evening in the Constans Theatre.

"Each concert will be a fundraiser," he said. "I do think many French remember what we owe to America," he added, referring to the Allied liberation of France during World War II. Though International Center Director Dennis Jett acceded of President Bush's administration that "one advantage of having a faith-based foreign policy is never having to say you're sorry," he encouraged attendees to "consume a plate of French Fries and wash it down with a bottle of champagne" in the spirit of international relations. Concerning the May defeat of a European constitution by French voters, Levitte said they acted not out of fear of cultural dilution but the perception of bureaucracy-heavy governments outside of France becoming the standard within the European Union. "The no vote was not a no against Europe," he said, citing concerns held by many Europeans about globalization and outsourcing, the moving of jobs to other countries to take advantage of a lower-wage workforce. A clearer vision of the future, such as resolution of the debate about the admittance of Turkey, a nation closer to the Middle East than Europe in culture, into the EU, is necessary for broad support of a unified Europe. Levitte also advocated "true knowledge" of history, where both sides involved in a conflict read each other's histories of it, to build a foundation of better understanding and encourage moving forward. He cited China and Japan as two countries with an enduring conflict that lack a forum such as the UN. "If you ask the French who are their best friends, 80 percent of them will say the Germans," he said, but added that "there is still a lot to do to make sure wars don't restart." Levitte has been a French diplomat for more than 30 years and in 2000 was appointed by French President Jacques Chirac as French Permanent Representative to the United Nations.

ON CAMPUS RemS tau r anu tS dis h 0 ut r v, e ef a&i1d By HEATHER RAPP Alligator Contributing Writer As local restaurant patrons satisfy their hunger Wednesday, they will also provide the American Red Cross with desperately needed funds for victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Wednesday marks the second nationwide Dine for America fundraiser, in which participating restaurants will donate all or a portion of the day's profits to relief aid. From seafood to Italian to barbecue, Gainesville's 19 participating restaurants offer a way for even the pickiest eaters to support a good cause. "This is just one more thing that the hospitality industry is trying to help out in whatever way we, can," said Kerry Brock, general manager for Hops Grill and Brewery on Archer Road. Hops will be donating $1 for every 12 ounce "Brewmaster" sirloin steak purchased. At Fazoli's Italian restaurant, customers don't even have to pay for a donation to be made: The restaurant will donate 1 cent for each breadtick eaten. Breadsticks are free with meals or can be ordered as a meal on their own. On a typical day, one location will serve 1,900 of the doughy delicacies, and with 450 stores in the country, general manager Don Creasy estimates Fazoli's produces nearly 1 million. To prevent food and staff shortages in anticipation of that day's crowds, local restaurants are taking extra steps to ensure the fundraiser is a positive experience for customers. "We just want people to be getting in and out and having a great experience," said Chili's Grill and Bar manager Bob Spraker. The restaurant will be donating all of that day's profits from every location to the Red Cross. Chili's has most of its restaurants in Texas, Florida and Louisiana. Consequently, 25 Chili's managers were left without homes in the wake of Hurricane Rita. The first Dine for America was held on the first-month anniversary of the Sept. 11 tragedy, said Alyssa Prince, conunurity relations director for the National Restaurant Association. For the first event, 8,000 restaurants contributed $20 million to the humanitarian effort. While Prince said it's difficult to predict this year's grand total, so far nearly double the participants have signed up to help. "We've been getting hundreds daily," Prince said. "I think we'll certainly reach that 16,000 mark." One thing that makes this fundraiser unique and attracts restaurant owners to it is the level of flexibility it provides them, said Lea Crusberg, Florida Restaurant Association spokeswoman. "It's tailored to what the restaurant owner or operator is comfortable with," Crusberg said. Restaurants can choose any method of aid they wish to provide, including all or a portion of profits, a set donation per item ordered or -customer served, or simply funds collected at the door, she said. "It helps us recognize that we are the United States. We are one country. We need to look after one another," Crusberg said. The following Gainesville restaurants are donating 100 percent of their profits Wednesday to relief efforts: Bonefish Grill -3237 SW 35th Blvd Carrabba's Italian Grill -3021 SW 34th St. Chili's -3530 SWArcher Road Olive Garden -3440 SW Archer Road On the Border -3100 SW Archer Road Outback Steakhouse -3536 SW Archer Road Red Lobster -6910W Newberry Road TGI Friday's -3598 SW Archer Road For a complete listing of participating Gainesville-area restaurants or additional informatiorrabotit Wednesday's fundraiser, visit www.dineforamerica.org.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4,2005 U ALLIGATOR, 5 Some fear overturning of Roe v. Wade PROTEST, from page 1 nominations will have a drastic effect. "Our club hopes that Roe v. Wade will be overturned," Keely said. "But we don't think that will happen with these nominations." Although VOX is mainly concerned about Roe v. Wade being overturned, Ashlee Black, chairman of College Republicans, said she also doubts that it will happen. Black said she does not think Miers' lack of judicial experience or known views should be a concern. "More than half of the justices were not previously judges," Black said. "She stands by the president's philosophy, and we support it." Pierce Butler, member of the Civic Media Center, was concerned about protecting civil rights and joined the protest. Student "It's important that we try to protect our rights," Butler said. "We're inder attack much more from the Bush administration than America is under attack by al-Qaida." The Associated Press contributed to this report. Increase in state Minimum wage tied to inflation WAGE from page 1 Prats said. Prats predicted minimumwage workers won't lose hours because the stores wouldn't be able to handle the typical amount of customers. Third-year biology major Robert Morris said he doesn't think the wage increase is a good idea and was against the amendment. "Obviously, yay for us," Morris said. "In the short term, it seems like a good idea." The increase,. he said, will affect more than just minimumwage employees. "Owners still have to make a certain amount of profit," said Morris, a Southwest Recreation Center student referee. "In the short term, it seems like a good idea." Robert Morris UF biology major He said a decrease in jobs is likely after the wage rises. "People who use mnimumwage jobs usually have more than one job," he said. Morris said higher-level jobs could feel pressure to increase their pay due to the $0.25 raise. "It keeps increasing up the ladder," he said. Employees in minimumwage jobs cannot be getting paid the same as those in higher-level jobs, Morris said, so the wage in those will also have to increase. There is no requirement in the amendment that any employer raise wages above the new minimum after the increase. There is certainly pressure to increase the wages of higherlevel jobs, May said, but it is not necessary. "The main effect will be in retail and fast food, where you find the most people making minimum wage," May said. Students must call to cancel MOBILE from page 1 Tingo said every cell-phone company will accept the messages, but students may have to create a payment plan. "We're agnostic with the carriers," he said. Within the three weeks Mobile Campus has been at UP, it has acquired about 1,000 members and 20 companies willing to provide students deals. Only one member has quit the program, which involves contacting Mobile Campus to end service. Tingo approached Student Government with his proposal last Spring, and SG members saw potential. After a presentation to other student leaders, informationtechnology professionals and administrators, SG adviser Chris Cupoll introduced Tingo to upper administration. The result was a five-year contract, making UF the first university to agree to use the service in the country. Alcohol and sex promotions are forbidden. Cupoli said the system looks promising. "Everyone has a phone with them," he said. "We can commumicate with students in ways we never could before. If your power's down, you don't get e-mail. It sounds silly that e-mail isn't fast enough, but it isn't anymore." But Cupoli said the new system is not a primary form of communication just yet. "It's got to work first," he said. "It's a tool that will be as powerful as we can be creative." Mobile Campus is lined up to be an SG sponsor, which will cost the company $10,000. That cost covers advertising on SG's Web site as well as at SG promotions and concerts. -Tingo said the Student plasma televisions in Lift the Reitz Union were paid for by Mobile Campus. He said a company is hired to make the videos played on the televisions, which are updated every two weeks. The University of Texas at Austin is also looking into becoming more mobile. UT Associate Vice President for Student Affairs Stephen S. Janes said it was the students' idea. "It's just an ingenious solution," he said.

6, ALLIGATOR E TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4,2005 Editorial Bush picks inexperienced friend for Court justice hat is it with President Bush and his penchant for nominating vague, inexperienced candidates for the Supreme Court? If he would simply follow the expected path of favoring scary conservatives, we could at least prepare for an all-out partisan catfight. Instead, we feel like we've been caught in a dark alley with sword-wielding Republicans waiting to jump out from behind trashcans and doorways. Bush's successful nomination for chief justice, John Roberts, had two years experience as a judge in the Washington, D.C., circuit. During the hearing circus, where partisanship drove many to idiotic questioning, Roberts kept a superior calm. He mastered the art of ambiguity while appearing to take the high road. He was asked stupid questions, and he gave intelligent answers. But we really don't know anything more about him than we did on day one. It's impossible to know how he's going to vote, and it's hard to establish his opinions when he rightly argues that those opinions shouldn't mesh with his judicial duties. In the end, both Democrats and Republicans had no reason to approve him but also no reason to reject him. And without the latter, a fiery protest just looks stupid. Bush has caught on to the key of conservative success: nominate people with lightly documented histories. Bush's choice for the replacement of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor goes one step further. Harriet Miers has absolutely no judicial experience. Bush isn't the first to push such a candidate forward, but it still seems really odd to us. Can't we at least warm her up first with a position on some less important court? Why does her first try as a judge have to be tied to a lifelong position in the nation's highest court? Miers has one thing going for her: She's a woman. But women can be the playthings of evil intent. Remember Eve? Nominating a woman causes some to simply celebrate the step up for females while ignoring other factors. Miers' role in Bush's brand of immorality has more to do with her experience than her lack of it. Her resume is stuffed with White House appointments. Since 2001, Miers has been right beside Bush. Before that, her highest-profile job was chairwoman of the Texas Lottery Commission. At one point, she was even Bush's personal lawyer. This isn't the resume we'd imagine a Supreme Court justice to have. In fact, it's almost the opposite. Miers is close to Bush. For the past four years, her job description has been one of partisanship. And now she's up for a position as an unbiased judge? It just doesn't seem right. The Editorial Board doesn't believe that Democrats should oppose a candidate simply because she was nominated by Bush. That would be pointless. But Republicans shouldn't immediately support Bush's nominees either. Of course, some are already angry because they don't perceive Miers as a candidate that's conservative enough. They should thank their lucky stars if that's all they care about. Bush is in the middle of a brilliant political plan. We just hope it goes sour. Roberts has just enough judicial experience to squeeze into the chief justice seat. The line must be drawn somewhere, and Miers' inexperience is the embodiment of that line. flindependet florida alligatorN Mike Gimignani Emily Yehie EDITOR OPINIONS EDITOR Eva Kis Torn Durrenberger, MANAGING EDITOR Scott Gilton, Andrew Meyer EDITORIAL BOARD T/e Aligator encourages comments from reaers.

ALLIGATOR www.a igator.org/opinions bTATb 4RUE 0 0 a' 0' 0 0 counbn Re,-publican&1s problems mounting fast F amous philosopher George Santayana once wrote, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." I guess "The Life of Reason" didn't quite make the Republican Party's summer reading list this year. Not surprising, considering President Bush was learning about sodium chloride in "Salt: A World History" when he should have been reading "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Iraq." The current political climate is eerily similar to that of the GOP revolution of 1994. At the time, the Democratic Party had dominated the House of Representatives for 40 years. Their arrogance led to numerous ethics scandals resulting in the resignations of House Speaker Jim Wright, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dan Rostenkowski and former Rep. Tony Coelho of California. As a result, Rep. Newt Gingrich was able to capitalize on the perceived corruption of the Democratic Party and voters' dissatisfaction with President Clinton's failed healthcare initiative. Consequently, the Republican Party gained 54 seats in the House. Traveling back to the future, the Republicans are in for a world of hurt far worse than the Democrats in 1994. A recent G.allup Poll reported the Republican-controljed CGotgress' approval rating is at 36 percent, a low comparable to the '94 approval rating. Their problems are mounting fast. Over 1,900 U.S. soldiers have died in Iraq, and. President Bush still hasn't articulated a plan to address the situation. The government's response to Hurricane Katrina was a disgrace. Aaron BIye Blyeas Eyes letterscallgator.org Not very surprising considering FEMA Director Michael Brown's resume had more padding than a Victoria's Secret MiracleBra. Karl Rove, the president's right-hand man, is on thin ice as the investigation into his involvement with the identity leak of a CIA operative comes to a close. David Safavian, a White House procurement official, was recently arrested for his involvement in the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal. Sen. Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) is under investigation for insider stock trading. And just when Republicans thought it couldn't get any worse, House Majority Leader Tom -DeLay (RTexas) was indicted on a charge of criminally conspiring with two political associates to illegally funnel corporate contributions to individual candidates. The Republican Party's problems are expending Bush's political capital faster than Paris Hilton with a government-issued credit card. It's easy to criticize Republicans when their president is in desperate need of some "Hooked on Phonics," but this is out of control. If the Democratic Party can't capitalize on the Republican Party's embarrassing version of American democracy after this mess, a baseless ban against two dudes kissing will be the least of its problems.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4,2005 E ALLIGATOR, 7 The positive effect of beginning your career with Ernst & Young is too great to measure. A great start can take you further. At Ernst & Young we've created an environment that's conducive to personal and professional growth and success. And what we're offering is an opportunity to learn from some of the best talent in the industry. Become a benchmark for success. Visit us on the Web at ey.com/us/careers, or look for us on campus. FORTUNE' 100 BEST COMPANIES=:) TO WORK FOR F.' Quality In Everything We Do Letters to the Editor Melone oversimplifies issues I wanted to take the opportunity to thank Matt Melone for his oversimplified, waste-of-time column Monday. How embarrassing that I could have missed the logical leap needed to fit critics of media correspondence in Iraq into two neatly packaged groups of pro-military and anti-military. I must have been blind, being unable to weave the distinctly complicated feelings I think most every savvy American viewer (and journalist) has about our entanglements in Iraq into two beautiful but separate rugs, on which stand liberals and then conservatives. Melone's cutting, incisive expertise has shown me that questions about our entry into the war are wasteful and unproductive, and I am shamed by my past interest in the devastation of New Orleans. But no more! As Malone suggested, I will place my faith fully in the healing powers of a God-ordained-military (nevermind those petty war crimes and sexually humiliating photographs of Iraqi prisoners) and smile quietly as our boys emancipate those freedomstarved Iraqis. Zachary Clark 3LS Republicans don't filibuster or behave like Democrats Here's a radical idea: If liberals want to nominate and approve their own judges, then more of them should try getting elected to Congress. But since that requires old-fashioned, honest hard work, we'll have to settle for their lazy but predictable overreactions every time the Republican majority does something they don't agree with. I disagree with Matt Sanchez's Friday column. Republicans would not and will not behave like the congressional Democrats. For example, look at Ruth Bader Ginsburg's nomination; somehow that left-wing judge got approved with little heated debate. That certainly doesn't sound like a filibuster to me. Democrats are stili sore after losing so many seats in the last election. They don't control the executive or legislative branches, so they must take control of the judicial branch in order to push their agenda. Newsflash: It is the right and duty of the president to select the judicial candidate he feels will justly serve the United States of America. That means he can and will reshape the Supreme Court just as many presidents have done before him. Wake up and understand that this country is a democracy and needs to represent all the voices in the country, not just the ones that are nasty and mean and can scream the loudest.

Wynn, a freshman sensation two seasons ago, has shown flashes of stardom but doesn't appear to be the right fit for Meyer's suddenly deficient offense. On Saturday, Wynn ran just 12 times for 47 yards, 31 of which came during the fourth quarter. Until that point, linebacker Earl Everett was UF's leading rusher with 32 yards coming off a fake-punt reverse in the second quarter. Runnin" backs coach Stan Drayton said Wynn and junior Skyler Thornton looked tnid hitting open rushing lanes and was impressed by the explosion Manson and freshman Kestahn Moore pro* COACHES PLAN RETURN TO OPTION-BASED OFFENSE. By LOUIS ANASTASIS Alligator Staff Writer lanastasis@alligator.org Dan Mullen heard everything he needed to know about the spread offense's problems on the flight back to Gainesville. His wife Megan, a Golf Channel reporter, was not about to let him enjoy the ride after watching the Gators score just three points against Alabama. "She had some questions for me," said Mullen, UF's offensive coordinator. "Thank goodness she's just worried about golf these days and doesn't put it on the air." But Mullen isn't about to get off that easy. A student body, a fan base and the national media have several questions of their own. Why weren't the Gators running spreadoption plays Saturday? Has the spread offense been proven defunct against the speedy Southeastern Conference? Basically, people want to know how UF is going to get back to the end zone, to improve -its No. 5 SEC offense. The answer? UF will live by the spread or die by the spread -at least forhow. Markus Manson against Mississippi State. Manson entered two-a-days with plenty of promise, but fell out of favor with Meyer because of supposed practice issues. "When Markus gets on the field he looks fast and we're looking for fast right now," Meyer said. "We will know Wednesday He's in competition for the starting tailback position at the University of Florida." INJURY UPDATE: Four UF players -three offensive linemen and one receiver -are suffering from injuries, although none appear to be too serious. Center Mike Degory is suffering from a sore. ankle and knee, Jim Tartt suffered bruised ribs against Alabama and had to leave the game, Tavares Washington has an injured shoulder and receiver Jemalle Cornelius missed much of the second half against Alabama with a minor ankle injury. CHAMPIONS: Indicative of the SEE FOOTBALL, PAGE 16 Tim Casey/ Alligator Staff UF freshman running back Markus Manson leaps over Louisiana Tech safety Dez Abrams. Now Manson is in the hunt to become UF's starting tailback. "We are more committed, more than ever now, to doing more and more of what we know how to do," Urban Meyer said. UF's offense Saturday was an ugly creature. It had little definition -mostly a hoard of stuffed draw plays and pocket passing. That is about to change. Mullen and Meyer realize that for the offense to run effectively, it must spread the field, using every inch of bright green turf. I've gotten away from having the patience to let those things work out and let them go. You're not going to have a great play every single play." Dan Mullen offensive coordinator "We have not done a good job utilizing the 53-yard width of the field," Meyer said. "I think what we've kind of done is squeezed it down." That means the Gators must run the option, whether it produces 10-yard runs every time or not. That Means the Gators must use the shovel pass, whether it gets stuffed at SEE OFFENSE, PAGE 16 Talent may need t~finke! rIgt had been 708 days since Coach Urban Meyer last lost a game, but following an all-telling loss in Tuscaloosa, Ala., it became very real just how tough UF's Southeastern Conference schedule is. The Gators don't have the benefit of playing a luxuriously soft Atlantic Coast Conference-esque schedule, with games against Louisiana State, Georgia and Florida State still looming. Meyer's most lopsided loss of his 52-game head-coaching career was a stunner. The Gator Nation's dreams of an undefeated season under Meyer were dashed. It was as if a mammoth crimson blanket engulfed Gainesville, suffocating the fairy-tale rose petals that seemed to line the Gators' path to Pasadena. At media day on Monday, Meyer Eric Esteban Tenacious E eestebai@aligat-r.org needed a scant six words to express the state of UF football. "We are not a great team," he said. Through this point of the season, it's evident that UF isn't a great team, but rather a good team with great expectations. The talent and coaching is too good to foresee a meltdown at that level again, but there are many unanswered questions. Prior to the Tide's roasting of the UF secondary, ignited by Tyrone Prothro, the SEC's version of Terrell Owens, it's hard to recall a time when cornerback Dee Webb was burned, or when safety Kyle Jackson was out of place.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2005 I ALLIGATOR, 15 VOLLEYBALL Experienced SEC toughens EUF I By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer Fans of the No. 5 UF volleyball team saw something Sunday afternoon that they haven't seen often during Mary Wise's. tenure in Gainesville: another Southeastern Conference school giving the Gators a run. The result of that match against Kentucky may have been a typical 3-0 victory, but the scores of 30-22, 30-24 and 30-27 were significantly closer than the Gators have become accustomed to. In two meetings last year, the Wildcats never scored more than 23 points in a game. "Definitely [it helps us]," senior captain Rachel Engel said. "Whenever a team pushes us we always get better, so that' s always good." The difference for the Wildcats, as it has seemed to be for many of UF's opponents this year, is their senior leadership. Kentucky starts three seniors, including Danielle Wallace, a Port Charlotte native. "The key to Kentucky is that they have three seniors with a ton of experience," Wise said. "And then you combine the great job that their staff is doing." Kentucky will be in the hunt here throughout the whole season. I think they can win a whole lot of matches because of how good their seniors are." UF has. been moderately successful in their matchups this season against teams that, by comparison, have significantly more experience. "There have been years where we've been here, and it was hard to get the players excited about a match. But it won't be hard to get them excited for Friday." Coach Mary Wise UF volleyball The Gators have just two seniors, SEC Player of the Year Jane Collymnore and Engel., Although she holds the mark of a veteran after surpassing 1,000 career' digs against Mississippi State on Sept. 23, Engel is seeing only her second year of* significant action. "It means that I am old," joked Engel about reaching the milestone. "It means something, but obviously I'm not counting all my stats and keeping track of those. But yeah, it feels good." Wise saw Sunday's contest as a match where her team could benefit from a 3-0 win. "There have been matches that we've played where it was a 3-0 victory and we didn't get better from it," she said. "I think [Sunday], even though it was a 30 victory, we did get better from this experience." With Kentucky concentrating on Collymore Sunday, the Gators were forced to look elsewhere for offense, and Amber McCray responded with a career-high 15 kills. Wise was pleased that someone other than Collymore was able to step up and lead UF when the Wildcats were putting up a serious challenge. "I think that for us to win 3-0 with Jane hitting below 10 percent says really good things about our depth," Wise said. The Gktors are now preparing for a match against Tennessee, a team with four seniors, including SEC Player of the Week Kristen Andre and All-American setter Julie Knytych. Because the Volunteers took two out of three matches from UF last year, including the SEC Tournament final, motivation should not be an issue for the Gators this week. "There have been years where we've been here, and it was hard to get the players excited about a match," Wise said. "But it won't be hard to get them excited for Friday."

16, PLLIGATOR U TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4,2005 Intercepted audible signals concern Meyer FOOTBALL, from page 14 Gators' performance Saturday, Meyer named only two players to his Champions Club for UF's loss to Alabama. Comprising the shortest list of club inductees this season were junior receiver Dallas Baker and senior defensive end Jeremy Mincey. Leading all UF receivers, Baker caught six passes for a season-high 119 yards, accounting for most of the Gators 187 total receiving yards. Mincey tallied three solo tackles and seven total tackles while forcing a fumble. Ayed according to Meyer, no one took the defeat worse than the latest inductees to his club. "Talking to them, the look in their eyes, those were the two most devastated young men after that loss," Meyer said. MIXING IT UP: Apparently, Meyer is taking reports of Alabama players being able to read UF's audibles seriously. After the game, some Alabama defenders claimed the simplicity and repetition of UF's signal calling afforded the Crinson Tide a distinct advantage. "We're college students," Alabama linebacker DeMeco Ryans said. "You can't just keep calling the same signals over and over again." Said Meyer: "I did read that somewhere," Meyer said. "That's something we're going to look into." Offensive coordinator Mullen: patience is key OFFENSE, from page 14 times or not. "I've gotten away from having the patience to let those things work out and let them go," Mullen said. "You're not going to have a great play every single play. There are times when you don't have a great play, and you have to have patience to let the offense run." Patience has been the coaching staff's downfall at times, Mullen admits. When Mullen saw the team could not convert on third down, could not run the ball and could not block, it became The Chris Leak Passing Show. That, against intelligent, quick SEC defenses, won't work. "[We've had Chris throw the ball] a bunch and now it's time for him to get more comfortable making the option reads," Mullen said. Until now, the coaching staff tweaked the offense to cater to Leak and others. While UF'will continue to do so, there will be a greater emphasis on the very plays that define the spread offense. At Utah, 30 percent of the running plays were option-based. Add one or two reverses and six shovel passes a gamn_ and you have the intended offense. The Gators have yet to apply those percentages this season. For better or for worse, they will start. "You have to stretch the defense horizontally and vertically," Leak said. Tim Casey/ Alligator Staff Chris Leak runs during the Gators' loss to the Crimson Tide on Saturday. He will be using his legs more with UF set to unleash a true spread offense. "If you make the defense run during the run. But out of desperation, UF never game, it can make them really tired." went back to those plays again. When the Gators did use the option "It's going to be having the patience Saturday, they were modestly successto stick with everything -that's the ful. On one drive, Leak gained 7 yards key," Mullen said. "[We can't just] throw on an option keeper, and receiver Chad the ball all over the place, which we have Jackson collected 12 yards on an option done a few times this year." r ------ci ----Ia I GENERAL NUTRITION CENTERS 25% OFF any one GNC product I Only available at Butler Plaza location, next to Albertsons.

However, the Alabama debacle proved that it's the Gators' offense that needs to be tinkered with, regarding both play calling -and personnel. In order for the plan to be successful, the personnel must be successful. The Gators' offense experienced a breakdown of Danny Bonaduce proportions -please tell me someone else watches that terrible show on VHi -against Alabama's defense. Redshirt freshman Markus Manson may have a slight problem holding on to the ball, but the Gators need him in the game in order to put some zip into the backfield. During the spring, running backs Coach Stan Drayton said Manson was the only one of. UF's running backs who had "legit sprinter speed." His speed could be utilized to make up for the struggling offensive line, and perhaps as a threat in the presently non-existent shovel pass that was so successful while Meyer was at Utah. The offense knew it would lose some speed when wide receiver Andre Caldwell went down and now looks noticeably slower without Bubba's speed at H-Back. And while it's early in the week, Meyer is already experimenting with the group, taking receiver Mike McIntosh off the practice squad for the first time this year. Still, the pressure is mounting for the starting 11 to put the ball in the end zone early and often against quality opponents. "I'm looking for guys who compete," Meyer said. There is a group of people who have to play better. They're called the Gators." At this point, the remainsg season's outlook is clear. Meyer's Gators are reaching the turning point of their season, facing a slate of three teams that defeated them last season. If they want to show they're a different team with a different mentality, gut check time starts promptly after Wayne Brady's shtick. r
