* STUDENT GOVERNMENT,
FBK TO SHARE SUBSIDY.
By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org
Florida Blue Key and
Student Government teamed up
Wednesday to make all Gator
Growl student tickets available at
the $5 subsidized price.
Student Body President Joe
Goldberg said he saw a number
of students at the University Box
Office leave Wednesday when the
teller said Growl student tickets
had jumped to $18, the regular
price, after the original allotment
of student tickets sold out.
"I really don't want any stu-
dents to get turned away," he
said. "We want to make sure all
students get to see the show."
Student Senate decided to sub-
sidize 15,000 student tickets dur-
ing the summer, taking $140,000
out of SG reserves and lowering
the price to $5.
Goldberg said FBK, which runs
Growl, and Student Government
Productions will split paying the
$13 subsidy for the remainder of
student tickets. Last year, about
$80,000 was taken out of SGP's
budget for the same reason.
"We want to make sure
all students get to see the
show."
Joe Goldberg
UF student body president
Goldberg said because SGP's
budget was approved a year ago,
Student Senate was not needed to
make a decision on the matter.
Students who purchased tick-
ets at regular price can go to the
FBK offices in room 312 of the
Reitz Union, show their ticket
and receive a refund.
Gator Growl Producer Robert
Carmody and SGP Chairman
Joey Van de Bogart both said they
were supportive of the decision.
Gator Party senator guilty of two election violations
By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org
A Gator Party senator was found in violation of two
election codes during Wednesday's Elections Commission
meeting.
Rawlings-area Sen. William Perry was found guilty of
destroying his opposing party's campaign material before
the election.
Perry said Victor Bard, a former Impact Party Senate
candidate, approached him while he was talking to a po-
tential voter.
Impact alleged that Perry
Student Government smacked the party's ad out of
Ee Wc S Bard's hand, crumpled it and
offered it back to him.
Perry said.Bard reached around him to hand the lis-
tener an Impact advertisement and he pushed Bard's
hand out of his face.
"I always talked to the person after he would talk to
them," Perry said in defense. "There was never an in-
stance where I took material from him."
The punishment for the newly elected senator is a for-
mally written apology to Bard.
"We just lament the fact that possibly someone like this
will be representing the Rawlings area," Impact President
Thomas Jardon said in an earlier interview before Perry

Nobel honors Gator grad
* 1965 ALUMNUS IS
SECOND TO WIN PRIZE.
By RESHELLE SMITH
Alligator Contributing Writer
The Gator Nation will extend
to Sweden when a UF alumnus
collects the 2005 Nobel Prize in
chemistry.
ItwasannouncedWednesday
that Robert H. Grubbs, 63, won
the prize for his work with two
other scientists. Grubbs earned
a bachelor's degree from UF in
1963 and his master's degree
from UF in 1965.
He is the second person to
graduate from UF and go on to
win a Nobel Prize.
While at UF, he worked
with chemistry professor Merle
Battiste.'
"I was his mentor," said
Battiste, who found out his stu-
dent had won science's highest
prize at about 6 a.m. Wednesday.
"I knew it would happen
sooner or later, but now that it
has happened, it's a shock, a
good shock," he said. "It's a great
day."
Grubbs received the prize for
his work on metathesis, a com-
plex reaction by which carbon
compounds exchange one of
their elements for an element of
another carbon compound.
The reaction is much like a
dance where the couples change
partners.
Grubbs developed a catalyst
that enables scientists to use
metathesis to create the specific
compound they need more ef-
ficiently, with less
UF potentially hazard-
Alumni ous waste.
"He developed
catalysts that were stable and
robust but still reactive, so they
could create new compounds,
create better ways to synthesize
old ones and prepare polymeric
materials," Battiste said.
According to a press re-
lease. from the Royal Swedish
Academy of Sciences, which
awards the prizes, "this repre-
sents a great step forward for
'green chemistry,' reducing
potentially hazardous waste
through smarter production."
The catalyst Grubbs de-
veloped is being used in both
academic and industrial labs,
Battiste said.
It is also utilized extensively
in pharmaceuticals, plastics and
-food preservatives.
Battiste remembers Grubbs
as a hard worker who was en-
thusiastic about chemistry. They
would often stay long after their
work was done to have a Coke
and talk about chemistry.
"It was an exciting time," he
said.
While Grubbs was at UF,
he did research in mechanistic
organic chemistry and worked
with small ring compounds.
The prize going to a UF grad-
uate just goes to show that if you
give someone the right start and
the right guidance, you never
know where they might end up,
Battiste said.
When Battiste saw the work
Grubbs was doing in the 1980s
and 1990s,. he said he knew it
was only a matter of time before
Grubbs would receive the prize.
Grubbs received his doc-
torate in 1968 from Columbia
University and now works
at the California Institute of
Technology.
The prize will be awarded
in Stockholm, Sweden on Dec.
10. Grubbs, Yves Chauvin of
France and Richard R. Schrock
of the Massachusetts Institute of
'Technology will share the $1.3
million award.
The only other UF alumnus
to win the Nobel Prize was
Marshall Nirenberg in 1968 for
physiology and medicine for his
work in the discovery of DNA.

Booze burglar busted
BY STEPHANIE RODRIGUEZ
Alligator Writer
srodriguez@alligator.org
A man was arrested Tuesday
for breaking into a home and
stealing two cases of beer, an open
bottle of Captain Morgan's Rum
and a 10-speed mountain bike.
John Ellis Hartley, 40, broke
into a home at 1151 SW Ninth
Road, according to police reports..
After stealing the items,
Hartley stood in the front yard of
the residence and began drinking
out of the Captain Morgan's Rum
bottle.
He then attempted to trade
bottles of beer in exchange for
cigarettes with two construction
workers in the neighborhood.
The construction workers said
Hartley was a previous co-worker
recently fired for stealing, the re-
port stated.
Witnesses said they saw
Hartley running down the street
chasing a dog that was inside the
residence.
Hartley admitted he has a seri-
ous drinking problem and needs
help. He also said he loved the
residents and was sorry for what
he had done, according to police
reports.
FUGITIVE: A man was arrested for
trespassing on private property
Wednesday.
Cody James Chadwick, 18, was
arrested at 300 SE Second Ave.,
after GPD Officer Joseph Dixon
chased him on foot around the
block, according to a GPD arrest
report.
The officer had given him ver-
bal orders to stop before Chadwick
fled the scene.
After the officer caught
Chadwick, he found a camera, a*
camera case, 30 CDs, sunglasses
and sneakers on the property.
Even though the officer initially
saw Chadwick with a camera case,
Chadwick denied ever possessing
any of the property, the report
stated.
"I think that Officer Dixon
did a good job in catching him,"
said GPD spokesman Sgt. Keith
Kameg. "We've been having a lot
of burglaries in the area."

Urkel actor to speak on life before, after television
By BOBBY KEITH
-Alligator Contributing Writer
Whether or not he did it then, he'll do it at
UF this month.
Jaleel White, better known to many as
the character Steve Urkel from the sitcom
"Family Matters," is scheduled to speak at the
University Auditorium on Oct. 27 at 8 p.m.
The event is sponsored by Accent, UF's
student-run speakers' bureau.
The former TV star's outrageous portrayal
of the character Urkel on "Family Matters," a
comedy about the daily life of a black family
living in the Chicago suburbs, was a pop-
culture phenomenon during the show's run
from 1989 to 1998.
Urkel was famous for his thick-rimmed
glasses, suspenders with pants pulled up to
his chest and obnoxious snorting laugh.
While White probably will not show up to
his speech dressed as Urkel, he will discuss
his experience growing up as a child TV star
and how he was typecast as his character
when the show ended. He also will offer
general advice on writing for television and
recount his story of entering the real world
after graduating from college.
"I feel that most people at UF grew up
watching the show and that he's a speaker
they will enjoy seeing," Accent Chairman
Evan Tyroler said.
This will be White's first time speaking to
a crowd of students on the lecture circuit.
"I feel that most people at UF
grew up watching the show and
that he's a speaker they will enjoy
seeing,"
Evan Tyroler
Accent Chairman
"White's down-to-earth perspective
will offer advice on ways to find one's
own voice in life while still standing out
from the crowd," an Accent press release
stated.
. Accent also will bring speaker Kyle
Maynard to the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom
on Nov. 1 at 8 p.m.
Maynard's lecture, entitled "Success
Without Excuses," is based on his experi-
ences living with a congenital defect that left
him with underdeveloped arms and legs.
Despite his handicap, Maynard went on to
become a distinguished high-school wrestler
and weightlifter.
Doors will open at 7 p.m. for both White's-
and Maynard's speeches, and both are free
and open to the public.
Accent, the largest .student-run speak-
ers bureau in the nation, is the Student
Government organization in charge of bring-
ing notable speakers to campus.
Accent brings speakers to UF with money
from the Activity & Service fees included in
students' tuition.

Senate breaks District D tie, elects new president
By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org
At the first Student Senate meet-
ing since the Fall election, a tie for a
District D seat was settled and new
Senate leaders were appointed early
Wednesday morning..
Gator Party Sen. John M. Lloyd-
Montgomery was voted into the
contested District D seat by the
Senate, beating out Impact Party
candidate Amanda Kane.
They tied in last week's election
with 444 votes each, but in the Senate
chamber, Lloyd-Montgomery won
by a large margin.
"I really believe that things at
the University of Florida need to
* ^ be changed," he
said before the
Senate vote. "I'm
S not here to put
another line on
my resume."
The newly
elected senators
Boyles were sworn into
office in the early morning hours as
the meeting ran until 1:30 a.m.
It was the last meeting of Senate
President Diane Kassim's term.
The first black female Senate
president left the new senators with
inspiration to make a difference and
said, "Rebel, rebel, rebel" while
banging her fist on a lectern.
She was replaced by her long-
time right-hand man, former Senate
President Pro-Tempore John Boyles.
Boyles ran uncontested.
Sen. Mike Patrone ran uncon-
tested for president pro-tempore.
Boyles said anyone eligible to be
a District E or F senator can apply
and Senate will vote on the winner
in two weeks. Applications for the
judiciary and the rules and ethics
chairs are due today.
Florida statutes require public figures to provide 'reasonable access'
LAWSUIT, from page 1
Wednesday, SG's donation totals at least
$195,000, according to FBK President Brian
Roof.
The payment was illegal, Grapski said,
because it went to FBK, a private organiza-
tion that is not eligible for A&S Fee alloca-
tion, per Florida statutes.
Grapski wrote Machen via e-mail that
"it is a known and established fact that it
(SG) is under the control of the political
arm of Florida Blue Key," referring to a
1998 Alachua County court order address-
ing FBK's political power.
UF administrators declined comment.
Public records, as defined in Florida
statutes, include the business correspon-
dence of public officials "regardless of the
physical form, characteristics or means of
transmission."
The statutes also state "each agency
must provide reasonable public access to
records electronically maintained."
Grapski said Machen's office has been
"Bernie Machen is attempting to
run the University of Florida as
if he were the CEO of a private
corporation."
Charles Grapski
UF doctoral candidate
more dismissive of public-records laws--
than any previous administration.
He cited provost-search meetings
Machen held out of state that Florida resi-'
dents did not have reasonable access to.
Grapski said Machen also censors e-
mails released to the public without basis.
"He has let it be known that he does not
like Florida public-records laws, and he
has taken actions to show that he does not
believe they apply to him," Grapski said.
Grapski said he hopes that after his
legal action, the president will end his pat-
tern of noncompliance and acknowledge
his duty as a public official.
"Bernie Machen is attempting to run
the University of Florida as if he were the
CEO of a private corporation," he said.
Impact Party withdrew complaints regarding banners on Fraternity Row
COMPLAINTS, from page 1
was sworn in Tuesday as Rawlings senator.
Perry was also found guilty of not notifying Supervisor
of Elections Daniel Maland of an advertisement sent via
the Facebook. The messages Perry sent to people using the
Facebook were labeled as paid political advertisements.
For that violation, Perry was reprimanded by the
Elections Commission.
Gator was found not guilty of breaking election codes
for putting up a campaign advertisement banner on the
SG-sponsored poles at the Plaza of the Americas.
During an Aug. 31 meeting with party leaders, Maland
said the poles were off limits for campaign advertising.
But when Impact wrote an election complaint about
the Gator Party banner, they put the incorrect statute on
the form, which disqualified the complaint.
For the same reason, Impact's complaints against orga-
nizations on Fraternity Row for political advertisements
on Greek houses was withdrawn before the meeting.
Impact party leaders said they withdrew the complaint
because they knew it would not be heard. -Its sexual-
harrassment complaint may be heard at a later date by a
different body.

Press diversion
Media focus on Miller
masks important trial
The Editorial Board has been mulling over how it feels
about New York Times reporter Judith Miller and her.
plight to protect her source.
We're still not sure about all the details, but since we're in the
journalism business, we thought we would add our voice to the
jabbering multitudes.
Bear with us. Before we jump into the fray, we're going to
have to lay out the facts.
Here's what we know
Miller talks to Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff
Lewis "Scooter" Libby. News reports fail to pinpoint.how
such a highly ranked official received an 8-year-old's nick-
name.
Someone leaks the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame
to columnist Robert Novak, who prints the information in an
apparent act of idiotic malice. Plame's husband had recently
debunked some of the administration's biological-weapons
claims. Novak still won't give up his sources.
Miller never writes about it.
Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald thinks Libby is involved, so
he asks Miller to talk about her conversations with him. Miller
refuses because she had a confidentiality agreement with him.
Miller goes to jail. Almost three months later, Miller agrees to
testify because Libby called her and gave his heartfelt consent.
Critics say Libby offered his consent a year ago and ask why
Miller waited.
After all, there must be something sinister.
But Miller's rebuttal is that an official release signed through
lawyers could have been pressed upon Libby. Furthermore, she
said she would be putting too much pressure on her source
if she called to confirm whether he really wanted her to go
through with it.
The Editorial Board has a few conjectures to throw your
way.
One: Maybe Miller is just a crazy, overzealous reporter who
has a creepy kind of self-control.
And two: Who cares?
This media frenzy is seriously out of control.
Take a look at all the stories about Miller in the last few
weeks. Only a few actually mention what the real case is about.
The rest regurgitate all the "suspicious" questions that sur-
round Miller's decisions. '
This Editorial Board is beginning to think the media created
the anonymous critics on their own. It's like a sick fervor of
press incest.
So much of the surrounding press has focused on whether
Miller was sincere that we've lost sight of why the grand jury
wanted her to testify in the first place.
The real meat of this case is that some government officials
connived to ruin a woman's career, and .possibly put her in
mortal danger, because they couldn't take the heat from her
husband's criticism.
What kind of government is that? And why is it so scared of
criticism? Only the guilty try to stifle the opposition.
With the way this case is going, we're beginning to believe
the Bush administration has succeeded' in just.that. We've all
been sidetracked from the serious criticism this case may shine
on the government.
And why isn't the media more focused on Novak?
The Editorial Board supports source confidentiality, but we
never know how we'll act when faced with such an ultimatum.
Most journalists would probably have called Libby after he
signed the release instead of patiently waiting for him to come
forward.
But we shouldn't harp too much on Miller's actions.
It's over; she testified. Let's focus on how this case will end.

"0 II$1S W WIY ItRET To BE A FLORIbA rATOR"
Guest column
Name-calling isn't answer to diversity
political cartoons are supposed to provoke response.
But when a cartoonist is passionate about an is-
sue, his message of artistic civil disobedience must
be clear and precise. The response it provokes can never
be, "Huh?"
The word cracker has a dual history. Black people used
it to fight racist whites and the n-word. It's an angry word
born of angry circumstances.
Its roots lie in the Middle English for braggart (see
Shakespeare's "King John"). It was originally used to de-
scribe rural, poor whites in the South. Some Southerners
still call themselves crackers. There's a style of architecture
called Florida Cracker. This definition does not involve
racism.
I doubt Andy Marlette was referring to President
Machen's geographical roots or architectural tastes in
his cartoon showing Machen with a cracker for a head.
We must remember that words like "cracker" and the so-
called nf-word, whose modem variant Marlette recently
used, have histories.
I've been called the n-word, both with -r and -a. The
former hurt and came after "you;" the latter was friendly
and followed "my." The word was given to me, in a sense,
but it's not mine to use freely.
You see, I'm not black. The word doesn't have the same
history for me. My hurt was not the same hurt a black
person can feel.
Some black people, and others, deplore all use of the
word. Others set it to beats, rhyme it creatively and use it
in funny and insightful ways.
When a reporter asked Muhammad Ali how it felt to be
such a prominent figure, he said, "Did you just call me a
prominent n****r?"
That's funny. But only if you know that Ali was called
Vikram the n-word many times, with hatred
Rangala behind it, and he responded by
Speaking Out showing the world how pretty, witty
and great black people can be.
In the end, I think the n-word
debate is a black thing, and the rest of us should stay on
the sidelines.
Using any word without appreciating its history
weakens your message. I assume Marlette's cracker crack
refers to what the Gainesville Sun called "a dearth of black
people in (Machen's) Cabinet."
A fair criticism, but Machen did not seek that situation,
and amid complex challenges, he is working for diver-
sity and asking essential questions like why hundreds
of minority students who meet UF admissions standards
choose community college.
Lately, I have fewer black and poor students which
sucks because our system blocks them somewhere be-
-- 11- - -
tween their high schools and my-classroom. If I'm part of
that system, am I also guilty? What do you call a brown
cracker? A Triscuit?
Sometimes, systemic flaws conspire to keep people
out of classrooms and Cabinets. Our response must
be to open pathways through those barriers, which is ex-
actly what Machen seeks with initiatives like the Florida
Opportunities Scholarship.
Cracker isn't a precise or useful criticism when the
challenge is this complex.
We share a common challenge: to tunnel through bar-
riers left by history and habit, to grab hands and pull each
other through. Instead of name-calling, we must look for
the shafts of light and dig with all our might.

Students should be respectful during Pledge of Allegiance
TA dhine I was watching Chris Leak
throw a pass near the end zone
V during the Tennessee game, I was
shocked that the very same crowd who could
not be respectful during the national anthem
could get quiet enough to hear a pin drop as
the ball soared through the air to the intended
receiver for a possible touchdown.
Although many people look up to UF foot-
ball players as "heroes," the real heroes are the
ones who are willing to pay the ultimate price
for our freedom. The real heroes are not only
the ones who are currently deployed but all
those who have served in the past to make our
country what it is today.
The last line of our alma mater does not
refer to football players as "the brave," but the
last line of our national anthem recognizes the
true heroes who make us call this soil home.
I recently had a conversation with a friend
about this situation and the lack of respect be-
ing paid by our fellow students before football
games. Her response was that there are few
students who have had a loved one risk his or
her life to serve our country, so they do riot un-
derstand the significance of the words in our
Pledge of Allegiance and the national anthem.
My response: Ignorance is not an excuse.
Moreso if you have not had loved ones serve
our country, consider yourself very blessed

to worry about their
safety while they are

such as Iraq.
Can you imagine your brother, boyfriend,
cousin, fiance or best friend being sent over to
Iraq in a few months? Take a moment to seri-
ously consider the thought.
This weekend, my fiance will be in town
for Gator Growl and the Homecoming game.
Not only is he a UF alumnus, but he also is a
soldier being deployed to Iraq in February.
I want him to know that my fellow students
are proud that he is willing to serve our coun-
try. This can be done by simply being respect-
ful as we honor our country during the Pledge
of Allegiance and our national anthem.
He will not be dressed in one of his uni-
forms, so you will only be able to recognize
him as another Gators fan. For all you know,
he could be standing right behind you at one
of those events this weekend.
As a Gators fan, a proud American and a
soon-to-be Army wife, I am asking you, the
student body of UF, to stand up, take off your
hats, put your hands over your hearts and be
proud to be Americans.

Guest Column
Some-Alabama fans prove disrespectful to Gators at game
is in response to the letter to the editor entitled "Gator
fans mar UF's reputation" that appeared in Monday's
Alligator.
I'm a Ph.D. student and have received two degrees from UF.
As such, I can honestly testify that I have spent more time in the
UF student section than the vast majority of fans past or pres-
ent. I too was in attendance at the UF-Alabama game this past
weekend. Actually, I spent the weekend in Tuscaloosa.
I was sitting in the front of the UF student section for the
game, and I saw nothing of the Gators reaction to Prothro's
broken leg that Tiff Schwarz described. I did not see any Gator
chomps and did not hear any jeering.
Will I vouch for the behavior of every Gators fan at the
game? Absolutely not. UF has its bad apples. But so does
Alabama.
I'd now like to recount some of the events I experienced last
Christopher weekend. Upon arriving in Tuscaloosa
Ferraro Friday night, I can say there must be

from Florida to anyone under the age
of 25, his or her middle finger pops up at you. Every time
Alabama scored in the game, a good 15,000 of those 81,000 fans
Schwarz referred to flipped off the UF student section.
My favorite part of the weekend was my exit from Bryant-
Denny Stadium. The trip down the long corkscrew wasn't too
bad. I received a few comments here and there something to
be expected when you just got your tail kicked 31-3.
However, I was quite angered by the several dozen fans who
decided to assault me and my friends with pom-poms and fists
as we walked out the gate, accompanied by, "[Expletive] you,
you no-good, filthy, white trash from Florida!"
And yes, that is an exact quote.
Since we were outnumbered several hundred to six, we
decided to put our heads down, endure the assault and keep
moving.
Despite all of the negativity surrounding the weekend, I still
enjoyed.my trip. As I walked the quad before Saturday's game,
I had about a dozen or so older fans welcome me to Tuscaloosa,
and we talked football. Upon leaving the stadium we had sev-
eralAlabama fans apologize for their "bad apples." Most of the
treatment in the bars afterward was respectful and courteous.
I'd like to graciously thank the people of Tuscaloosa for that.
Nevertheless, I challenge the title of Monday's letter. I'm
a Gators fan, and as such I feel that I have a responsibility to
represent my university in a dignified manner. All fans should
strive to do the same.

n a typical Thursday
night, UF sociology major
Chris Cope is more con-
cerned with controlling his nausea
than cracking jokes.
But as soon as the house lights
dim and the spotlights illuminate
center stage, adrenaline takes over
and the pre-gig jitters subside.
In a matter of minutes, Cope
has the packed audience of com-
edy club-goers bent over, reeling
from side-splitting laughter.
For Cope, it's all in a night's work
as house emcee of Thursday Night
Live at Coconuts Comedy Club,
7417 W Newberry Road.
For the best and sometimes
the worst in raw comedic talent,
student comics and comedy club-
goers alike look no further than
Gainesville's local comedy hot spot.
The club's open-mic night, ap-
propriately dubbed "Thursday
Night Live," caters to the college
crowd with tongue-in-cheek stand-
up comedy acts beginning at 9 p.m.
Coconuts joins comedy spots like
The Tampa Improv and Miami's
Imprpv Comedy Club and Dinner
Theatre as well as The Comedy
Zone in Ocala to make up part of
Florida's comedy circuit.
Cope, a veteran of the Florida
amateur circuit, lauds Coconuts as
one of the best, if not the premier
amateur show in Florida.
"I've been to a lot of the clubs in
Florida, but in my opinion, Coconuts

is one of the best," Cope said.
After several years of bringing
stand-up to the Gainesville area, the
comedy scene at Coconuts contin-
ues to evolve.
With each new school semester,
the dub goes through a new cycle of
talent, which keeps the acts innova-
tive, Cope said.
Student comic and political
science major Matt James became
interested in stand-up comedy
while taking the improvisation and
social/political issues class offered
by the UF School of Theatre and
Dance.
The class teaches the funda-
mentals of improvisation with an
emphasis on spot improvisational
skills.
"Stand-up appeals to students
because it is an artistic outlet for kids
who want to express themselves,"
James said.
UF economics major Raju Vyas
performs stand-up not only for
the challenge but for the intangible
rewards.
"Making people laugh can be the
most amazing feeling in the world,"
Vyas said. "If you bomb out there, it
can also be the worst feeling."
Vyas noted that the Gainesville
comedy scene is unique because
comics are invited to attend a work-
shop at Coconuts every Sunday to
brainstorm jokes and perform ma-
terial for other comedians.
The workshop helps new comics
iron out kinks in their routines as
well as gain valuable constructive
criticism.
Ultimately, Vyas said he feels it
takes a certain kind of person to per-.
form in the high pressure and highly
critical stand-up atmosphere.
"If you're passionate, confident
and energetic, you will do well,"
he said.
Cope agreed that although all-
types of comedians are given a
shot at performing for a live crowd,
true comedians have innate talent.
"In order to be a good stand-up
comic, comedy has to be in your
blood," Cope said.
While comics sweat it out under
the bright stage lights, club patrons
enjoy laughs from small caf6-style
tables with candlelit centerpieces
that give Coconuts a big-city club
ambiance all within Gainesville
city limits.
On Friday and Saturday nights,
club-goers can enjoy professional
comedy acts brought in -from
throughout Florida.
Electronic band comes to Gainesville costume-clad
By VERA HADZI-ANTICH
Avenue Writer
This band is used to performing blind. No,
it's not a Ray Charles tribute band. It's Yip-Yip,
Orlando's strangely costumed electronic act.
Yip-Yip performs in costumes consisting
of a jumpsuit-like outfit, a head covering
and goggles.
"The goggles fog up within minutes, and
we can't see. We're used to it now," said
Jason Temple, one of the two members in
the band. "Right now our costume is head-
to-toe checkers."
The costumes are assembled by Brian
Esser, the other band member, and his
mother, Chandra Esser.

Quest for best barbecue leaves mouths watering
On gameday, you don't just
throw the pig. You eat it,
too:
Whether you're tailgating hours
before kickoff or watching the game
from your couch, barbecue is the
staple ingredient of Saturday foot-
ball games, and Gainesville serves
up the best.
To pickthebest localbarbecueres-
taurant, I chose among Gainesville's
culinary greats: David's Real Pit
BBQ, Sonny's Real Pit Bar-BQ and
Newberry's Backyard Bar-BQ.
Saturday, when the Gators were
away, I got take-out from all three
restaurants and gathered a group of
hungry friends who needed no per-
suasion to be my fellow food critics:
The drive to Newberry's
Backyard Bar-BQ was about 10 min-
utes outside of Gainesville, not too
far but not exactly in my backyard.
The service was a little too casual;
customers eyed the clock while wait-
ing for their food or for someone to
take their orders.
But in its defense, Newberry's
was busy on game day.
The long line inside the restau-
rant wasn't for dining in but carry-
out, and the phone rang constantly.
Back at the apartment, in front of
the television, we pigged out (pun
obviously intended).
The homemade, foot-long onion
rings from Newberry's were a hit;
delightfully crispy and greasy.
The spare ribs rivaled Sonny's.
Both restaurants' ribs were meaty,
juicy and didn't need much barbe--
cue sauce to enhance their flavors.
Newberry's
baby-back ribs
were decent but
rather small for
a full rack.
Ho we ve r,
Sonny's ribs were
fall-off-the-bone,
melt-between-my-teeth tender.
As far as side dishes go, David's
Real Pit BBQ was the only place that
served macaroni and cheese, but it
wasn't much more than a packet of
Easy Mac.
However, David's offers the best
potato fries, perfectly coated with
seasoned salt.
My friends and I fought for the
fried okra from
Newberry's and
Chan Tran Sonny's.
News Bites If you like
heavenue@alligator.org them crispy,
Sonny's are
crunchier.
Of course,
the only kind of bread that exists
at barbecue joints is garlic, and
Newberry's is the winner. When
you can see the garlic flakes, you can
certainly taste them.
Everyone agreed David's BBQ,
in northwest Gainesville, was their
least favorite, but I'm a fan of its
North Carolina-style pulled pork
sandwich on garlic bread with slaw.
Newberry's menu lacks pulled
pork.
Sonny's received a unanimous
vote for the best barbecue.
The nine-state chain that started
with the location on Waldo Road in
1968 doesn't have a reputation for
mediocre food as many chains do.
And of the three restaurants,
Sonny's is the only one with a full
salad bar.
Now that's swine dining.
The frugal glutton's guide to Homecoming weekend
E ating, drinking and being merry this
Homecoming does not have to leave
you eating PB&J for the next couple
weeks.
I tried to come up with a list of Homecoming
specials. There are none. Local businesses are a
bit short on discounted Gators spirit this year.
But bargains can still be found scattered
along University Avenue. Consider this the
walking guide to the most economic couple of
pounds you'll put on until Thanksgiving.
Starting Friday morning at 10, an exclusive
Homecoming brunch at President Bernie
Machen's mansion is yours to crash. Dress to
impress and sweet-talk your way past smiling
Cicerone security. Mingle among the likes of
Wayne Brady. Sashay around the gourmet
spread. If you get kicked out, then you'll still
look good at Broward Dining.
If you've never been, you are missing out.
Even if you know the Broward Dining staff by
name, you can appreciate the all-you-can-eat,
made-to-order Belgian waffles and omelets.
For less than $6, you can camp out next to the
Lucky Charms dispenser, and you don't even
have to tip.
Next, go watch the parade. My roommates
and hundreds like them slaved over floats
all week. Go see them and
catch the free candy they .
throw.
March on, frugal glut-
ton. The old-fashioned soda
fountain at Wise's Drug .
Store offers ice cream floats
for $1.70. A little farther down, $1.06 will get
you fried plantains at the Reggae Shack. And
hey, that's almost healthy.
Now for something free. Our favorite
drink from a wheat field is just that. at Dirty
Birds from 3-4 p.m. Plus, they have a basket of
fries for $2. After that, it's only 25 cents a cup
at MoMo's from 4-5 p.m.
On to the Reitz Union Ballroom, where $10
provides all-you-can-eat and a guest speaker,
Emmitt Smith, at the Alumni Reunion from
5-7 p.m. Since we saved $13 on Gator Growl
tickets thanks to Student Government, theo-
retically we still come out $3 ahead after the
reception.

party of your choice.
By the time you wake up from your food
coma, it will be time to tailgate. Remember,
mooching builds unity in Gator Nation. If
no one will share, half a dozen rolls doused
in marinara sauce or garlic butter from
Leonardo's by the Slice are only $1.01.
Across the intersection, Burrito Brothers
offers its specialty from $2.49.
Bust out the Gator Greenbacks and get a
free drink at Pita Pit with your pita, starting at
$3.75. If you don't have one, take one from that
stingy friend who stockpiled eight.
Once at the game, pucker up at the water
fountain. Why spend $3 for a Pepsi when that
covers a pitcher at Cafe Gardens after we sing
the fight song? For more variety, $2 will cover
a Genesee Cream Ale or an IBC at Stubbie's
downtowrni At any time, call up Hungry
Howie's to order any pizza, any size for $9.99.
Not bad.
Later in the evening, around 8, $2.50 will
get you a belly dancer and a cup of lentil soup
at Farah's.
The frugal glutton's grand total for this
Homecoming: $40.74 and a fairly serious
gastric reflux later in life. What a small price
to pay to laugh, cry and have pizza left over
for breakfast.

AUDIOLOGY
Avoid John, find Juan
Everybody needs a sex buddy
The John Butler Trio
Sunrise Over Sea
Lava
Having never heard
the John Butler Trio prior to review-
ing this album, I had no idea what to
expect.
Needless to say, it was a surprise
when the twang of a country guitar
was followed by some horrific attempt
at rapping. It wasn't a good surprise
either. As dreadful as this opening
was, it got no better; being followed
by a long and pointless when-will-it-
end guitar solo.
Fortunately' for the John Butler
Trio, nothing on the album sinks as
low as the nadir that is its first track.
That isn't to say we're talking about a
good record here it's far from that.
The rap goes out the window and is
replaced by some nondescript croon-
ing from Butler, who sounds like a
blander version of Incubus' Brandon
Boyd.
Musically, the country influences
and unwelcome solos remain and are
joined on other tracks by some over-
wrought strings. Lyrically, it regularly
wades into melodramatic and moral-
istic ground.
There is little to recommend in this
album. It lacks originality, sincerity or
anything distinctive. The only bright
spot is "Damned to Hell," a stripped-
down, lo-fi ramble which is a welcome
change from the other bloated and
overproduced tracks. Avoid.
The Juan Maclean
Less Than Human
DFA/Astralwerks
-- The explosion of dance-
punks LCD Soundsystem
onto an unsuspecting public last year
was bound to generate interest in
similar acts.
The question is, is its DFA Records
stablemate The Juan Maclean worthy
of such attention?
The answer is both yes and no. ,
There's nothing here quite as refresh-
ing and catchy as the ubiquitous
"Daft Punk is Playing at My House,"
although the third track, "Give Me
Every Little Thing," comes close.
There are, however, nine tracks
fusing electro, Detroit techno, house,
disco and funk to great effect.
But while these are most definitely
songs you can dance to, there are
enough chilled-out moments par-
ticularly "In the Afternoon," whose
opening is reminiscent of Air to
make it suitable for home listening.
In fact, maybe The Juan Maclean.
would have done well to let the bass
loose on a couple of tracks and pro-
duce some real floor-filling anthems.
Nevertheless, this is a consistently
good record. Those interested in dip-
ping their toes into dance music, but
embarrassed about not knowing DJ
Sneak from DJ Spooky, should check
out "Less Than Human."
MATT CLEAR
At some point in his or her life, ev-
eryone should have a sex buddy.
The simple concept of two people
mutually using each other for sex is under-
rated.
A sex buddy can lend comfort and re-
lease in times when actual dating prospects
are scarce. He can be used as a teacher,
helping you learn What works well for you
and what doesn't. And he provides a safer
alternative to hooking up with several dif-
ferent people.
I had one buddy when I was younger.
He was the second guy
I had slept with, and in ,m
my everything-should-
have-a-purpose mental-
ity, I used him as an edu- .
national experience.
After the mediocrity
of my first time, I enlisted the help of some-
one I was reasonably attracted to but not
interested in for a bit of consistent practice.
At first he didn't realize exactly what our
relationship was. He thought we would
end up dating, which didn't interest me.
* Within a few practice sessions, I had
figured things out and so had he. Once we
had an agreement, we had a nice relation-
ship.
Therein lies the problem with the buddy
system. Both people have to agree on what
the relationship will be. Confusion can
quickly lead to an awkward situation.
Last year, a friend of mine thought he
was dating this guy. Happily oblivious,
he tried several times to introduce me to
his new boyfriend, but the guy consis-
tently blew off any kind of social outing.
However, they would still get together for
sex.
Eventually, my friend realized he was
being used and quickly ended the relation-
ship. Unfortunately for him, when you
think you have a boyfriend, a sex buddy
just won't do.
When both parties agree on the sex-only
terms of the relationship, typically every-
one ends up pretty well-satisfied.
The most successful sex-buddy stories
among my friends have
stemmed from similar
Mr. Lube situations. They date
Risqu6 Business someone with whom
theavenue@alligator.org they have sex for a brief
time. A couple things
don't click, but the
sexual chemistry does: So after breaking
up, they continue to hook up and a bud-
ding sex-buddy relationship forms.
This method can be dangerous ground,
as some friends explained. After flirting
with an ex for a bit, a lady friend of mine
decided they should buddy up. After get-
ting together once, she remembered all
the reasons they had broken up in the first
place. Instead of a buddy, she found a mo-
ment of weakness turned into regret. And I
was there to listen and console.
In the end, the key to any successful sex-
buddy relationship might just be a friend
without benefits to listen to your com-
plaints rather than a friend with benefits
who's on the same page.

Mrs. Pepto-Bismol speaks out
The email began, "I think the

From the very beginning, "Saraband" is con-
fusing.
The protagonist, Marianne, suddenly drops
in to visit her ex-husband, Johan, after about 30
years, despite his objection.
The movie shows the sad situation between
Johan's son from another marriage, the son's 19-
year-old daughter and their screwed-up relation-
ship.
The son,
a.Henrik, is

It's one of those relationships that should never
exist. A father needs to validate his existence by
pressuring his daughter.
He tries to show he is still worth something in
the music world by pushing his daughter, Karin,
to play the cello.
Therefore, he forces her into a conservatory she
never agreed to go to in the first place.
He also can't accept the possibility that being
fired from both a university and a concert conduc-
tor is his own fault.
This causes him to take out his frustration on
Karin.
You aren't allowed to feel sorry for Henrik,
especially when he tries to kill Karin.
The term "Saraband" refers to a certain piece of
music Henrik asks Karin to play.
Marianne's only real role in the movie is to
speak directly to the camera once in a while and
offer comfoAto poor Karin -
If you're an avid movie-goer, you'll know how
overdone this storyline is.
There is also a scene where Karin and Johan are
sleeping in bed together.
Maybe that's a normal thing in Europe or
not, I don't know but considering the circum-
stances in the movie, it's a bit disturbing.
"Saraband" offers nothing new and leaves a
weight on you that can only really be relieved
with a good dose of whiskey.
I'm not saying it's a totally bad movie, but do
you really want to be depressed tonight?

Running back Markus Manson runs against Louisiana Tech. Manson could finally get a shot at the
starting tailback position Saturday against Mississippi State.
Manson finally game-ready
By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
bapp@alligator.org
Markus Manson has been run-
ning his entire life.
Now, he's tired of it.
They're called "gassers."
Whenever a running back fum-
bles, he must sprint from sideline
to sideline a variable amount of
times. Manson remembers run-
ning four to six per practice earlier
in the season.
"They make me run gassers for
fumbling," Manson explained. "I
don't like doing that."
The running back who's speed
generated so much buzz as he
served on the scout team last year
has continued to use his legs more.
during practice than on Saturdays
this season, but perhaps not any-
more.
Before his legs fell off, Manson
realized he had to address his ball-
handling issues. Coach Urban
Meyer believes the freshman fi-
nally has. Meyer said Manson, the
fastest of UF's four running backs,
is dose to earning the starting job
and will play as the Gators try
to revive their dormant rushing
game against Mississippi State on
Saturday.

rushing before junior DeShawn
Wynn rushed for 31 yards during

If only Josh Portis could
throw the ball well. The con-
cept seems simple enough,
but Portis has struggled with
passing thus far.
His speed provides the
Gators with an obvious perk.
when he enters games, but
Portis has logged 21 rushes
to just six pass attempts.
Compound his throwing trou-
bles with fumbling issues, and
you get a work-in-progress.
"Our quarterback has to be
able to do more than run the
option," Coach Urban Meyer
said. "He has to be a well-bal-
anced guy."
The good news for the
Gators is that Portis' passing
has improved somewhat.
"He's better now than he's
ever been, but he's still not a
polished passer," said Meyer,
who added that Portis will
play against Mississippi State.
CRAWLING OUT OF THE GATES:
UF may want to kickoff to
start the game Saturday.
The Gators have been anemic
on opening drives this season.
In their four games, not count-
ing. Tennessee, UF's opening
drives have resulted in three
punts and a blocked punt.
"Awful," Meyer described
it. "I think the ideal one was
against Tennessee when we
kicked off, played good de-
fense, returned a punt and
two plays later we're down
to- the 20. I'm very concerned
about [opening drives]."
INJURY UPDATE: Wide receiver
Jemalle Cornelius continues
to recover from a sprained left
ankle.
Though he has been prac-
ticing with an
ankle brace,
Meyer ex-
pects him to
play against
S Mississippi

Cgornelius Saturday.
oenus "Jemalle
is still sore, but we're count-
ing on him going," he said.

It's easy to judge a team on a week-to-

picture. With the Gators for example, the of-
fensive line has yet to have a game where they
dominated the opposition.

Defense readies for AII-SEC RB
* UF ASSISTANT COACHED
MSU RUNNING BACK LAST
SEASON.
By FARZAD SAFI
Alligator Staff Writer
fsafi@alligator.org
Jerious Norwood won't be taking
anyone by surprise this year.
Last season, the Mississippi
State running back seemingly came
out of nowhere to lead the Bulldogs
to an upset of UF.
While former Gators running
back Ciatrick Fason put up -a- 16-
carry, 143-yard performance, those
numbers paled in comparison to
Norwood's 174-yard game, which
included a game-winning 37-yard
touchdown run.
"Jerious Norwood surprised us
last year," defensive end Jeremy
Mincey said. "The coaches told us
about him, but since nobody knew
his name we really didn't take him
seriously."
This season, everyone in the
Southeastern Conference knows
the First Team All-SEC running
back by name.
Last season, linebacker Brandon
Siler could only watch from the
sideline as the speedy 6-foot, 204-
pound back shredded the Gators
play after play.
"He is a pretty shifty, pretty
good running back," Siler said.
"We have got to get him down if
we want to win this weekend."
Just one of many interesting sub-
plots to UF's homecoming game is
whether the Gators defense will be
able to stop Norwood, after allow-
ing Alabama's Kenneth Darby to
run for 101 yards last week.
But perhaps, the most interest-
ing subplot of all is UF running
backs coach Stan Drayton, an assis-
tant at Mississippi State last season,
facing his former pupil.
"Jerious Norwood surprised
us last year. The coaches
told us about him, but since
nobody knew his name we
really didn't take him seri-
ously."
Jeremy Mincey
UF defensive end
If anyone knows how dangerous
Norwood can be, it is Drayton.
"Jerious is a game breaker,
there's no question about it,"
Drayton said. "He changes the
tempo of the game, and when he
steps on the field, the speed of the
entire game changes."
The Gators' front seven did a
decent job containing Tennessee's
Gerald Riggs Jr.
But UF's run-stoppers had a
tougher time with the quicker
Darby.
Norwood is a similarly speedy
back, clocking in at 4.47 seconds
in the 40-yard dash, but he also has
the ability to shed defenders in the
open field.
"Sure, Jerious might be a little
skinny," Drayton said. "He looks
a lot like Markus Manson at about
205 [pounds].
"He's not a real big kid, but he
is going to hit you with some speed
and make you miss."
Does Drayton have any advice
for stopping his former player?
"The only way to stop him is
to rally," he said. "You play disci-
plined defense, and you cover your
gaps.
"You just need to make tackles
in the open space."
Drayton revealed that the de-
fense has spent all week practicing
on making open field tackles and
the linebackers, especially, have
worked on gang tackling.
This homecoming weekend
could be 'difficult for Drayton, as
he will be reunited with friends
in Norwood and Bulldogs' coach
Sylvester Croom.
"I keep in contact with both
Jerious and Coach Croom,"
Drayton said. "Coach was the only
person who ever took me aside and
showed me the cut-throat nature of
the business, and I'll always appre-
ciate that."
Drayton keeps in contact with
his former star, saying he calls
Norwood about once a week.
"We're very good friends who
will keep in touch for the rest of
our lives," Drayton said.

Gators offensive line struggles with pass protection
* INJURIES, LACK OF CHEMISTRY
CONTRIBUTE TO GROUP'S WOES.
By ERIC ESTEBAN
Alligator Staff Writer
eesteban@alligator.org
After taking one step forward against
Kentucky, UF's offensive line took two steps
in the wrong direction in Tuscaloosa. It took
Alabama all of one play to exploit what has
become a thriving point of inconsistency in
the Gators offense.
With quarterback Chris Leak in the shot-.
gun on the first play from scrimmage, Tide
defensive end Mark Anderson broke through
the line and sacked Leak, who fumbled the
ball before it was pounced on by a UF offen-
sive lineman.
The sack was the first of four the line
would give up, and by the time the elephant
had stampeded through the trenches, the
Gators ran into the locker room leading the
Southeastern Conference in sacks allowed
with 18. Through just five games, perhaps a
more troubling statistic for the offensive line,
which lost left tackle Jonathan Colon and right
guard Mo Mitchell to graduation, is how it-
gave up only 19 sacks in all of 2004.
"We need to work harder on technique and
get better at how we compete, but there's no
magic to it," offensive line coach John Hevesy
said. "The way we are not protecting Leak and
giving up sacks, it's disgusting right now, and
that has to change."
Hevesy's offensive line at Utah was revered
by Coach Urban Meyer as one of most well-
coached units he had seen. The Utes offensive
line was one of the more athletic groups in the
country, paving the way for Meyer's spread
offense in the Mountain West Conference.
However, Hevesy has struggled to find such
consistency and athleticism because of inju-
ries.
"Five guys work together all week in prac-
tice, and then the game comes around and you
lose two of them and that sets everything off
sync," he said. "It's not an excuse, but we have
to learn to compete a little harder and work a
little harder."
Both of UF's start-
Gators. ing guards, senior
Offensive line left guard : Tavares
Washington and red-
shirt freshman right
guard Jim Tartt, were limited in the Alabama
game with elbow and rib injuries, respectively.
Also, senior center Mike Degory has missed
time at practice this week nursing an MCL
and ankle, but all three are expected to be back
for the Mississippi State game.
While backup guards Drew Miller, a soph-
omore, and Steve Rissler, a junior, seemed to
hold their own against the Crimson Tide, the
lack of chemistry on the interior line has hurt
the running game and pass protection.
"It definitely hurts because of how we have
had to rotate them inside," Hevesy said. ,'It's
like a marriage. You kind of know and expect
how your wife does things. When you're a
left tackle, you expect to know how your left
guard does things."
The Gators' troubles up front raise even
more questions because of how much was in-
vested in their returning leadership through-
out Meyer's spring practices. Four out of five
starting spots on the line belonged to seniors at
the beginning of the year.
Tackles Lance Butler and Randy Hand,
along with Degory and Washington, might
ha\ e to increase their 'leadership with the
Gators facing off against some of the SEC's
most talented defenses.
"I think the big thing is that the mistakes
we are making are simple," Degory said. "It
seems like everything is caving in, but we just
have to come out and prepare more."
Maturity, fumbling hindered playing time
MANSON, from page 21
Running backs coach Stan Drayton believes
Manson is ready to jump-start UF's rushing game.
"He's game-ready; there's no question," Drayton
said. "He's a tempo changer. He gets into the ball
game and the speed of the game changes,"
"I'm going to put him in position this week dur-
ing practice to grab the bull by the horns and just
run with it."
As Manson redshirted last season, the UF side-
line was abuzz with accounts of his explosiveness.
But after a spring of promise, the redshirt freshman
fell to fourth on the Gators depth chart during the
summer. By UF's season-opener against Wyoming,
he watched from the sideline as true freshman
Kestahn Moore lined up at tailback for the Gators
first play from scrimmage.
"I was wondering why I wasn't playing,"
Manson said, "but I couldn't fault anybody but
myself for that."
While his maturity level and understanding of
the offense hindered Manson's playing time, Meyer
said the freshman simply couldn't hang on to the
ball.
"In high school, they really didn't teach us how
to hold the ball," Manson said. "It didn't matter, but
up here, they put an emphasis on holding the ball
the way they want."
Trying to break the back's fumbling ways,
coaches drilled Manson on keeping his wrist above
his elbow to lock the ball in place as he ran.
Manson said he has mastered
A b, -the technique and Drayton
believes the freshman could be-
come the aggressive type of back
the Gators desperately need.
"Let's take away a little of
that finesse part of it," Drayton
said. "I don't care if you can
Manson shake and bake. If there's a lane,
I want you to take the lane. Let's
create bad [pursuit] angles because you're explod-
ing through holes and breaking tackles."
Now, Manson finally has an opportunity at be-
coming the-.20- to 25-carries-per-game workhorse
Meyer said the Gators have needed all season. It's a
role Manson believes he will. fill just fine.
"I did it in high school," Manson said. "So why
not here?"
SAFI, from page 21
loss to Alabama was a bit exces-
sive because the Gators have
responded well to early blowouts
in the past.
I completely agree. UF could
have lost by 1 ur by 100, and it still
would register as a single loss. The
fact of the matter is that there are
still six games left on the schedule
and the Gators control their own
destiny.
Once UF gets its obligatory
win against Mississippi State this
weekend, however, the real chal-
lenges begin.
The schedule is brutal, with
road games against LSU, Georgia,
and tricky South Carolina: You
have to believe that the 01' Ball
Coach will upset someone, and
why not his alma mater?
Add to that home games
against one-loss Vanderbilt and
undefeated Florida State and
you've got five easily losable
games.
I People talk about how Ron
Zook got a raw deal for taking
over a UF team devoid -of any
talent.
I think Meyer's task is just as
difficult winning the SEC in a
year that parity dominates.
"One thing I've learned about
this conference," Meyer said, "is
that you better be ready to go ev-
ery week."
Enjoy yourself, Coach Meyer,
this weekend as your players
avenge last year's loss to the
Bulldogs. But remember that it's -
what happens against LSU that
will determine whether you are a
God or a goat in Gainesville.

By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer dcohen@alligator.org Florida Blue Key and Student Government teamed up Wednesday to make all Gator Growl student tickets available at the $5 subsidized price. Student Body President Joe Goldberg said he saw a number of students at the University Box Office leave Wednesday when the teller said Growl student tickets had jumped to $18, the regular price, after the original allotment of student tickets sold out. "I really don't want any students to get turned away," he said. "We want to make sure all students get to see the show." Student Senate decided to subsidize 15,000 student tickets during the summer, taking $140,000 out of SG reserves and lowering the price to $5. Goldberg said FBK, which runs Growl, and Student Government Productions will split paying the $13 subsidy for the remainder of student tickets. Last year, about $80,000 was taken out of SGP's budget for the same reason. "We want to make sure all students get to see the show." Joe Goldberg UF student body president Goldberg said because SGP's budget was approved a year ago, Student Senate was not needed to make a decision on the matter. Students who purchased tickets at regular price can go to the FBK offices in room 312 of the Reitz Union, show their ticket and receive a refund. Gator Growl Producer Robert Carmody and SGP Chairman Joey Van de Bogart both said they were supportive of the decision.

4, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2005 ON CAMPUS Urkel actor to speak on life before', after television By BOBBY KEITH -Alligator Contributing Writer Whether or not he did it then, he'll do it at UF this month. Jaleel White, better known to many as the character Steve Urkel from the sitcom "Family Matters," is scheduled to speak at the University Auditorium on Oct. 27 at 8 p.m. The event is sponsored by Accent, UF's student-run speakers' bureau. The former TV star's outrageous portrayal of the character Urkel on "Family Matters," a comedy about the daily life of a black family living in the Chicago suburbs, was a popculture phenomenon during the show's run from 1989 to 1998. Urkel was famous for his thick-rimmed glasses, suspenders with pants pulled up to his chest and obnoxious snorting laugh. While White probably will not show up to his speech dressed as Urkel, he will discuss his experience growing up as a child TV star and how he was typecast as his character when the show ended. He also will offer general advice on writing for television and recount his story of entering the real world after graduating from college. "I feel that most people at UF grew up watching the show and that he's a speaker they will enjoy seeing," Accent Chairman Evan Tyroler said. This will be White's first time speaking to a crowd of students on the lecture circuit. I feel that most people at UF grew up watching the show and that he's a speaker they will enjoy seeing," Evan Tyroler Accent Chairman "White's down-to-earth perspective will offer advice on ways to find one's own voice in life while still standing out from the crowd," an Accent press release stated. Accent also will bring speaker Kyle Maynard to the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom on Nov. 1 at 8 p.m. Maynard's lecture, entitled "Success Without Excuses," is based on his experiences living with a congenital defect that left him with underdeveloped arms and legs. Despite his handicap, Maynard went on to become a distinguished high-school wrestler and weightlifter. Doors will open at 7 p.m. for both White's and Maynard's speeches, and both are free and open to the public. Accent, the largest student-run speakers bureau in the nation, is the Student Government organization in charge of bringing notable speakers to campus. Accent brings speakers to UF with money from the Activity & Service fees included in students' tuition.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6,2005 E ALLIGATOR, 5 STUDENT GOVERNMENT seAftfte br k DsorNct D tie, elects new president By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer dcohen@a Higator.org At the first Student Senate meeting since the Fall election, a tie for a District D seat was settled and new Senate leaders were appointed early Wednesday morning. Gator Party Sen. John M. LloydMontgomery was voted into the contested District D seat by the Senate, beating out Impact Party candidate Amanda Kane. They tied in last week's election with 444 votes each, but in the Senate chamber, Lloyd-Montgomery won by a large margin. "I really believe that things at the University of Florida need to be changed," he said before the Senate vote. "I'm not here to put another line on my resume." The newly elected senators Boyles were sworn into office in the early morning hours as the meeting ran until 1:30 a.m. It was the last meeting of Senate President Diane Kassim's term. The first black female Senate president left the new senators with inspiration to make a difference and said, "Rebel, rebel, rebel" while banging her fist on a lectern. She was replaced by her longtime right-hand man, former Senate President Pro-Tempore John Boyles. Boyles ran uncontested. Sen. Mike Patrone ran uncontested for president pro-tempore. Boyles said anyone eligible to be a District E or F senator can apply and Senate will vote on the winner in two weeks. Applications for the judiciary and the rules and ethics chairs are due today. Florida statutes require public figures to provide 'reasonable access' LAWSUIT, from page 1 Wednesday, SG's donation totals at least $195,000, according to FBK President Brian Roof. The payment was illegal, Grapski said, because it went to FBK, a private organization that is not eligible for A&S Fee allocation, per Florida 'statutes. Grapski wrote Machen via e-mail that "it is a known and established fact that it (SG) is under the control of the political arm of Florida Blue Key," referring to a 1998 Alachua County court order addressing FBK's political power. UF administrators declined comment. Public records, as defined in Florida statutes, include the business correspondence of public officials "regardless of the physical form, characteristics or means of transmission." The statutes also state "each agency must provide reasonable public access to records electronically maintained." Grapski said Machen's office has been "Bernie Machen is attempting to run the University of Florida as if he were the CEO of a private corporation." Charles Grapski UF doctoral candidate more dismissive of public-records laws_ than any previous administration. He cited provost-search meetings Machen held out of state that Florida residents did not have reasonable access to. Grapski said Machen also censors emails released to the public without basis. "He has let it be known that he does not like Florida public-records laws, and he has taken actions to show that he does not believe they apply to him," Grapski said. Grapski said he hopes that after his legal action, the president will end his pattern of noncompliance and acknowledge his duty as a public official. "Bernie Machen is attempting to run the University of Florida as if he were the CEO of a private corporation," he said. Impact Party withdrew complaints regarding banners on Fraternity Row COMPLAINTS, from page 1 was sworn in Tuesday as Rawlings senator. Perry was also found guilty of not notifying Supervisor of Elections Daniel Maland of an advertisement sent via the Facebook. The messages Perry sent to people using the Facebook were labeled as paid political advertisements. For that violation, Perry was reprimanded by the Elections Commission. Gator was found not guilty of breaking election codes for putting up a campaign advertisement banner on the SG-sponsored poles at the Plaza of the Americas. During an Aug. 31 meeting with party leaders, Maland said the poles were off limits for campaign advertising. But when Impact wrote an election complaint about the Gator Party banner, they put the incorrect statute on the form, which disqualified the complaint. For the same reason, Impact's complaints against organizations on Fraternity Row for political advertisements on Greek houses was withdrawn before the meeting.

6, ALLIGATOR M THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2005 Editorial Press diversion Media focus on Miller masks important trial he Editorial Board has been mulling over how it feels about New York Times reporter Judith Miller and her. plight to protect her source. We're still not sure about all the details, but since we're in the journalism business, we thought we would add our voice to the jabbering multitudes. Bear with us. Before we jump into the fray, we're going to have to lay out the facts. Here's what we know Miller talks to Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff Lewis "Scooter" Libby. News reports fail to pinpoint.how such a highly ranked official received an 8-year-old's nickname. Someone leaks the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame to columnist Robert Novak, who prints the information in an apparent act of idiotic malice. Plame's husband had recently debunked some of the administration's biological-weapons claims. Novak still won't give up his sources. Miller never writes about it. Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald thinks Libby is involved, so he asks Miller to talk about her conversations with him. Miller refuses because she had a confidentiality agreement with him. Miller goes to jail. Almost three months later, Miller agrees to testify because Libby called her and gave his heartfelt consent. Critics say Libby offered his consent a year ago and ask why Miller waited. After all, there must be something sinister. But Miller's rebuttal is that an official release signed through lawyers could have been pressed upon Libby. Furthermore, she said she would be putting too much pressure on her source if she called to confirm whether he really wanted her to go through with it. The Editorial Board has a few conjectures to throw your way One: Maybe Miller is just a crazy; overzealous reporter who has a creepy kind of self-control. And two: Who cares? This media frenzy is seriously out of control. Take a look at all the stories about Miller in the last few weeks. Only a few actually mention what the real case is about. The rest regurgitate all the "suspicious" questions that surround Miller's decisions. This Editorial Board is beginning to think the niedia created the anonymous critics on their own. It's like a sick fervor of press incest. So much of the surrounding press has focused on whether Miller was sincere that we've lost sight of why the grand jury wanted her to testify in the first place. The real meat of this case is that some government officials connived to ruin a woman's career, and possibly put her in mortal danger, because they couldn't take the heat from her husband's criticism. What kind of government is that? And why is it so scared of criticism? Only the guilty try to stifle the opposition. With the way this case is going, we're beginning to believe the Bush administration has succeeded in just. that. We've all been sidetracked from the serious criticism this case may shine on the government. And why isn't the media more focused on Novak? The Editorial Board supports source confidentiality, but we never know how we'll act when faced with such an ultimatum. Most journalists would probably have called Libby after he signed the release instead of patiently waiting for him to come forward. But we shouldn't harp too much on Miller's actions. It's over; she testified. Let's focus on how this case will end.

Guest column iNamie-camlng'i isn't answer to diversity Fwoltical cartoons are supposed to provoke response. Vikram the n-word many tunes, with hatred But when a cartoonist is passionate about an issue, his message of artistic civil disobedience must be clear and precise. The response it provokes can never be, "Huh?" The word cracker has a dual history. Black people used it to fight racist whites and the n-word. It's an angry word born of angry circumstances. Its roots lie in the Middle English for braggart (see Shakespeare's "King John"). It was originally used to describe rural, poor whites in the South. Some Southerners still call themselves crackers. There's a style of architecture called Florida Cracker. This definition does not involve racism. I doubt Andy Marlette was referring to President Machen's geographical roots or architectural tastes in his cartoon showing Machen with a cracker for a head. We must remember that words like "cracker" and the socalled n-word, whose modern variant Marlette recently used, have histories. I've been called the n-word, both with -r and -a. The former hurt and came after "you;" the latter was friendly and followed "my." The word was given to me, in a sense, but it's not mine to use freely. You see, I'm not black. The word doesn't have the same history for me. My hurt was not the same hurt a black person can feel. Some black people, and others, deplore all use of the word. Others set it to beats, rhyme it creatively and use it in funny and insightful ways. When a reporter asked Muhammad Ali how it felt to be such a prominent figure, he said, "Did you just call me a prominent n****r?" That's funny. But only if you know that Ali was called Rangala behind it, and he responded by Speaking Out showing the world how pretty, witty and great black people can be. In the end, I think the n-word debate is a black thing, and the rest of us should stay on the sidelines. Using any word without appreciating its history weakens your message. I assume Marlette's cracker crack refers to what the Gainesville Sun called "a dearth of black people in (Machen's) Cabinet." A fair criticism, but Machen did not seek that situation, and amid complex challenges, he is working for diversity and asking essential questions like why hundreds of minority students who meet UF admissions standards choose community college. Lately, I have fewer black and poor students -which sucks -because our system blocks them somewhere between their high schools anid my classroom. If In part-of that system, am I also guilty? What do you call a brown cracker? A Triscuit? -Sometimes, systemic flaws conspire to keep people out of classrooms -and Cabinets. Our response must be to open pathways through those barriers, which is exactly what Machen seeks with initiatives like the Florida Opportunities Scholarship. Cracker isn't a precise or useful criticism when the challenge i s this complex. We share a common challenge: to tunnel through barriers left by history and habit, to grab hands and pull each other through. Instead of name-calling, we must look for the shafts of light and dig with all our might. Vikram Rangala teaches writing in the UF Honors Program.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 7 Guest Column Students should be respectful during Pledge of Allegiance W e I was watching Chris Leak throw a pass near the end zone during the Tennessee game, I was shocked that the very same crowd who could not be respectful during the national anthem could get quiet enough to hear a pin drop as the ball soared through the air to the intended receiver for a possible touchdown. Although many people look up to UF football players as "heroes," the real heroes are the ones who are willing to pay the ultimate price for our freedom. The real heroes are not only the ones who are currently deployed but all those who have served in the past to make our country what it is today. The last line of our alma mater does not refer to football players as "the brave," but the last line of our national anthem recognizes the true heroes who make us call this soil home. I recently had a conversation with a friend about this situation and the lack of respect being paid by our fellow students before football games. Her response was that there are few students who have had a loved one risk his or her life to serve our country, so they do not understand the significance of the words in our Pledge of Allegiance and the national anthem. My response: Ignorance is not an excuse. Moreso if you have not had loved ones serve our country, consider yourself very blessed Colleen that you have not had Roberts to worry about their Speaking Out safety while they are stationed in countries such as Iraq. Can you imagine your brother, boyfriend, cousin, fiance or best friend being sent over to Iraq in a few months? Take a moment to seriously consider the thought. This weekend, my fiance will be in town for Gator Growl and the Homecoming game. Not only is he a UF alumnus, but he also is a soldier being deployed to Iraq in February. I want him to know that my fellow students are proud that he is willing to serve our country. This can be done by simply being respectful as we honor our country during the Pledge of Allegiance and our national anthem. He will not be dressed in one of his uniforms, so you will only be able to recognize him as another Gators fan. For all you know, he could be standing right behind you at one of those events this weekend. As a Gators fan, a proud American and a soon-to-be Army wife, I am asking you, the student body of UF, to stand up, take off your hats, put your hands over your hearts and be proud to be Americans. Colleen Roberts is an industrial and systems engineering senior. Guest Column Some-Alabama fans prove disrespectful to Gators at game rj'ths is in response to the letter to the editor entitled "Gator fans mar UF's reputation" that appeared in Monday's _L Alligator. I'm a Ph.D. student and have received two degrees from UT. As such, I can honestly testify that I have spent more time in the UF student section than the vast majority of fans past or present. I too was in attendance at the UF-Alabama game this past weekend. Actually, I spent the weekend in Tuscaloosa. I was sitting in the front of the UF student section for the game, and I saw nothing of the Gators reaction to Prothro's broken leg that Tiff Schwarz described. I did not see any Gator chomps and did not hear any jeering. Will I vouch for the behavior of every Gators fan at the game? Absolutely not. UF has its bad apples. But so does Alabama. I'd now like to recount some of the events I experienced last Christopher weekend. Upon arriving in Tuscaloosa Ferraro Friday night, I can say there must be Speaking Out some problem with peoples' fingers there. It seems that if you say you are from Florida to anyone under the age of 25, his or her middle finger pops up at you. Every time Alabama scored in the game, a good 15,000 of those 81,000 fans Schwarz referred to flipped off the UF student section. My favorite part of the weekend was my exit from BryantDenny Stadium. The trip down the long corkscrew wasn't too bad. I received a few comments here and there -something to be expected when you just got your tail kicked 31-3. However, I was quite angered by the several dozen fans who decided to assault me and my friends with pom-poms and fists as we walked out the gate, accompanied by, "[Expletive] you, you no-good, filthy, white trash from Florida!" And yes, that is an exact quote. Since we were outnumbered several hundred to six, we decided to put our heads down, endure the assault and keep moving. Despite all of the negativity surrounding the weekend, I still enjoyed.my trip. As I walked the quad before Saturday's game, I had about a dozen or so older fans welcome me to Tuscaloosa, and we talked football. Upon leaving the stadium we had several Alabama fans apologize for their "bad apples." Most of the treatment in the bars afterward was respectful and courteous. I'd like to graciously thank the people of Tuscaloosa for that. Nevertheless, I challenge the title of Monday's letter. I'm a Gators fan, and as such I feel that I have a responsibility to represent my university in a dignified manner. All fans should strive to do the same.

TenR,0 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/avenue &Y MUG.I&A n a typical Thursday night, UF sociology major Chris Cope is more concerned with controlling his nausea than cracking jokes. But as soon as the house lights dim and the spotlights illuminate center stage, adrenaline takes over and the pre-gig jitters subside. In a matter of minutes, Cope has the packed audience of comedy club-goers bent over, reeling from side-splitting laughter. For Cope, it's all in a night's work as house emcee of Thursday Night Live at Coconuts Comedy Club, 7417 W Newberry Road. For the best -and sometimes the worst -in raw comedic talent, student comics and comedy clubooers alike look no further than Gainesville's local comedy hot spot. The club's open-mic night, appropriately dubbed "Thursday Night Live," caters to the college crowd with tongue-in-cheek standup comedy acts beginning at 9 p.m. Coconuts joins comedy spots like The Tampa Improv and Miami's Improv Comedy Club and Dinner Theatre as well as The Comedy Zone in Ocala to make up part of Florida's comedy circuit. Cope, a veteran of the Florida amateur circuit, lauds Coconuts as one of the best, if not the premier amateur show in Florida.

James said. UF economics major Raju Vyas performs stand-up not only for the challenge but for the intangible rewards. "Making people laugh can be the most amazing feeling in the world," Vyas said. "If you bomb out there, it can also be the worst feeling." Vyas noted that the Gainesville comedy scene is unique because comics are invited to attend a workshop at Coconuts every Sunday to brainstorm jokes and perform material for other comedians. The workshop helps new comics iron out kinks in their routines as well as gain valuable constructive criticism. Ultimately, Vyas said he feels it takes a certain kind of person to perform in the high pressure and highly critical stand-up atmosphere. "If you're passionate, confident and energetic, you will do well," he said. Cope agreed that although alltypes of comedians are given a shot at performing for a live crowd, true comedians have inate talent. "In order to be a good stand-up comic, comedy has to be in your blood," Cope said. While comics sweat it out under the bright stage lights, club patrons enjoy laughs from small caf6-style tables with candlelit centerpieces that give Coconuts a big-city club ambiance all within Gainesville city limits. On Friday and Saturday nights, club-goers can enjoy professional comedy acts brought in from throughout Florida.

"The goggles fog up within minutes, and we can't see. We're used to it now," said Jason Temple, one of the two members in the band. "Right now our costume is headto-toe checkers." The costumes are assembled by Brian Esser, the other band member, and his mother, Chandra Esser. "For me, it's really easy to do anything when I'm sort of concealed," Temple said.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2005 0 ALLIGATOR, 9 Quest fr best barbecue eaves mouths watering O n gameday, you don't just throw the pig. You eat it, Whether you're tailgating hours before kickoff or watching the game from your couch, barbecue is the staple ingredient of Saturday football games, and Gainesville serves up the best. To pick the bestlocalbarbecue restaurant, I chose among Gainesville's culinary greats: David's Real Pit BBQ Sonny's Real Pit Bar-BQ and Newberry's Backyard Bar-BQ. Saturday, when the Gators were away, I got take-out from all three restaurants and gathered a group of hungry friends who needed no persuasion to be my fellow food critics. The drive to Newberry's Backyard Bar-BQ was about 10 minutes outside of Gainesville, not too far but not exactly in my backyard. The service was a little too casual;. customers eyed the clock while waiting for their food or for someone to take their orders. But in its defense, Newberry's was busy on game day. The long line inside the restaurant wasn't for dining in but carryout, and the phone rang constantly. Back at the apartment, in front of the television, we pigged out (pun obviously intended). The homemade, foot-long onion rings from Newberry's were a hit; delightfully crispy and greasy. The spare ribs rivaled Sonny's. Both restaurants' ribs were meaty, juicy and didn't need much barbecue sauce to enhance their flavors. N ewb erry's baby-back ribs were decent but rather small for a full rack. H o w e v e r Sonny's ribs were fall-off-the-bone, melt-between-my-teeth tender. As far as side dishes go, David's Real Pit BBQ was the only place that served macaroni and cheese, but it wasn't much more than a packet of Easy Mac. However, David's offers the best potato fries, perfectly coated with seasoned salt. My friends and I fought for the fried okra from Newberry's and Chan Tran Sonny's. News Bites If you like tteavenuealligator.org them crispy, Sonny's are crunchier. Of course, the only kind of bread that exists at barbecue joints is garlic, and Newberry's is the winner. When you can see the garlic flakes, you can certainly taste them. Everyone agreed David's BBQ, in northwest Gainesville, was their least favorite, but I'm a fan of its North Carolina-style pulled pork sandwich on garlic bread with slaw. Newberry's menu lacks pulled pork. Sonny's received a unanimous vote for the best barbecue. The nine-state chain that started with the location on Waldo Road in 1968 doesn't have a reputation for mediocre food as many chains do. And of the three restaurants, Sonny's is the only one with a full salad bar. Now that's swine dining. eating, drinking and being merry this Homecoaning does not have to leave you eating PB&J for the next couple weeks. Tried to come up with a list of Homecoming specials. There are none. Local businesses are a bit short on discounted Gators spirit this year. But bargains can still be found scattered along University Avenue. Consider this the walking guide to the most economic couple of pounds you'll put on until Thanksgiving. Starting Friday morning at 10, an exclusive Homecoming brunch at President Bernie Machen's mansion is yours to crash. Dress to impress and sweet-talk your way past smiling Cicerone security. Mingle among the likes of Wayne Brady. Sashay around the gounnet spread. If you get kicked out, then you'll still look good at Broward Dining. If you've never been, you are missing out. Even if you know the Broward Dining staff by name, you can appreciate the all-you-can-eat, made-to-order Belgian waffles and omelets. For less than $6, you can camp out next to the Lucky Charms dispenser, and you don't even have to tip. Next, go watch the parade. My roommates and hundreds like them slaved over floats all week. Go see them and catch the free candy they throw. March on, frugal glutton. The old-fashioned soda fountain at Wise's Drug Store offers ice cream floats for $1.70. A little farther down, $1.06 will get you fried plantains at the Reggae Shack. And hey, that's almost healthy. Now for something free. Our favorite drink from a wheat field is just that, at Dirty Birds from 3-4 p.m. Plus, they have a basket of fries for $2. After that, it's only 25 cents a cup at MoMo's from 4-5 p.m. On to the Reitz Union Ballroom, where $10 provides all-you-can-eat and a guest speaker, Enmitt Smith, at the Alumni Reunion from 5-7 p.m. Since we saved $13 on Gator Growl tickets thanks to Student Government, theoretically we still come out $3 ahead after the reception. Diana Jo Afterburning hunGodfrey dreds of calories laughing Cheap Beat at Gator Growl skits and theavenue@alligator.org watdilng fireworks, attend the Homecoming house party of your choice. By the time you wake up from your food coma, it will be time to tailgate. Remember, mooching builds unity in Gator Nation. If no one will share, half a dozen rolls doused in marinara sauce or garlic butter from Leonardo's by the Slice are only $1.01. Across the intersection, Burrito Brothers offers its specialty from $2.49. Bust out the Gator Greenbacks and get a free drink at Pita Pit with your pita, starting at $3.75. If you don't have one, take one from that stingy friend who stockpiled eight. Once at the game, pucker up at the water fountain. Why spend $3 for a Pepsi when that covers a pitcher at Caf6 Gardens after we sing the fight song? For more variety, $2 will cover a Genesee Cream Ale or an IBC at Stubbie's downtown At any time, call up Hungry Howie's to order any pizza, any size for $9.99. Not bad. Later in the evening, around 8, $2.50 will get you a belly dancer and a cup of lentil soup at Farah's. The frugal glutton's grand total for this Homecoming: $40.74 -and a fairly serious gastric reflux later in life. What a small price to pay to laugh, cry and have pizza left over for breakfast.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6,2005 M ALLIGATOR, 11 AUDIOLOGY Lfn Ju Avoid John, f'nd Juan .The John Butler Trio Sunrise Over Sea Lava Having never heard the John Butler Trio prior to reviewing this album, I had no idea what to expect. Needless to say, it was a surprise when the twang of a country guitar was followed by some horrific attempt at rapping. It wasn't a good surprise either. As dreadful as this opening was, it got no better; being followed by a long and pointless when-will-itend guitar solo. Fortunately for the John Butler Trio, nothing on the album sinks as low as the nadir that is its first track. That isn't to say we're talking about a good record here -it's far from that. The rap goes out the window and is replaced by some nondescript crooning from Butler, who sounds like a blander version of Incubus' Brandon Boyd. Musically, the country influences and unwelcome solos remain and are joined on other tracks by some overwrought strings. Lyrically, it regularly wades into melodramatic and moralistic ground. There is little to recommend in this album. It lacks originality, sincerity or anything distinctive. The only bright spot is "Damned to Hell," a strippeddown, lo-fi ramble which is a welcome change from the other bloated and overproduced tracks. Avoid. The Juan Maclean Less Than Human DFA/Astralwerks The explosion of dancepunks LCD Soundsystem onto an unsuspecting public last year was bound to generate interest in similar acts. The question is, is its DFA Records stablemate The Juan Maclean worthy of such attention? The answer is both yes and no., There's nothing here quite as refreshing and catchy as the ubiquitous "Daft Punk is Playing at My House," although the third track, "Give Me Every Little Thing," comes close. There are, however, nine tracks fusing electro, Detroit techno, house, disco and funk to great effect. But while these are most definitely songs you can dance to, there are enough chilled-out moments -particularly "In the Afernoon," whose opening is reminiscent of Air -to make it suitable for home listening. In fact, maybe The Juan Maclean would have done well to let the bass loose on a couple of tracks and produce some real floor-filling anthems. Nevertheless, this is a consistently good record. Those interested in dipping their toes into dance music, but embarrassed about not knowing DJ Sneak from DJ Spooky, should check out "Less Than Human.' -MATT CLEAR Everybody needs a sex buddy U&II1111luff r nt t some point in his or her life, everyone should have a sex buddy. The simple concept of two people mutually using each other for sex is underrated. A sex buddy can lend comfort and release in times when actual dating prospects are scarce. He can be used as a teacher, helping you learn what works well for you and what doesn't. And he provides a safer alternative to hooking up with several different people. I had one buddy when I was younger. He was the second guy I had slept with, and in my everything-should have-a-purpose mentality, I used him as an educational experience. After the mediocrity of my first time, I enlisted the help of someone I was reasonably attracted to but not interested in for a bit of consistent practice. At first he didn't realize exactly what our relationship was. He thought we would end up dating, which didn't interest me. .Within a few practice sessions, I had figured things out and so had he. Once we had an agreement, we had a nice relationship. Therein lies the problem with the buddy system. Both people have to agree on what the relationship will be. Confusion can quickly lead to an awkward situation. Last year, a friend of mine thought he was dating this guy. Happily oblivious, he tried several times to introduce me to on two wheels. if you're t kmng abouttihe best way to spend your summer vacation, AAA Travel and DER havegot the perfect package for you!

However, they would still get together for sex. Eventually, my friend realized he was being used and quickly ended the relationship. Unfortunately for him, when you think you have a boyfriend, a sex buddy just won't do. When both parties agree on the sex-only terms of the relationship, typically everyone ends up pretty well-satisfied. The most successful sex-buddy stories among my friends have stemmed from similar Mr. Lube situations. They date Risqu6 Business someone with whom theavenue@alligator.org they have sex for a brief time. A couple things don't click, but the sexual chemistry does. So after breaking up, they continue to hook up and a budding sex-buddy relationship forms. This method can be dangerous ground, as some friends explained. After flirting with an ex for a bit, a lady friend of mine decided they should buddy up. After getting together once, she remembered all the reasons they had broken up in the first place. Instead of a buddy, she found a moment of weakness turned into regret. And I was there to listen and console. In the end, the key to any successful sexbuddy relationship might just be a friend without benefits to listen to your complaints rather than a friend with benefits who's on the same page.

12, ALLIGATOR .THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6,2005 Mrs. Pepto-Bismol speaks out T he email began, "I think the Pepto-Bismol and Aleve outfit man is my husband." Uh-oh, it's my first piece of hate mail; some lady is pissed because I wrote about her husband, and she found me. For almost two months, your Fashion a Go-Go has been photographing and writing about you, the student body at UF, for a Web log on CNN.com documenting fashion trends, unique pairings and heinous ensembles. Sunday afternoon culminated with an e-mail whose subject line read "CNN article -is that my husband?" Without recognizing the woman's name or school (maybe Virginia Tech?) I-was curious. I recall the time I got an e-mail from George Clooney and thought I would pee my pants. However, it turned out to be a form letter from the ONE Campaign, and I cried myself to sleep. But this felt different. So I started to read -"Christine. I saw your articles and pictures on CNN." She was referring to a photo of a guy posted on the blog site wearing brilliant pink shorts and a vibrant baby blue shirt -an outfit reminiscent of the bright pastel hues of PeptoBismol and Aleve. "I have been telling him to get rid of those pink shorts forever, He denies. it is him, saying he wouldn't have worn that shirt with those shorts. Surprised as hell, I realized she 'Mo, nnty Pyh 14 nd now for something completely different. Actually, something exactly the same, but underappreciated by many until now. Does the word Ni mean anything to you? How about Castle Anthrax? Do you know the difference between African and European swallows? If not, I highly suggest you immediately run out and rent "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." However, if these words make you want to chant psalms and smack a board against your head, then I have news for you. On Sept. 27, the "Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus 16-Ton Megaset" was released on DVD. While this is the second DVD release of the series, this new set contains a smaller case, two live performances and more special features than you can shake a dead parrot at. Wait, what's "Monty Python's Flying Circus"? Before we sought the Holy Grail, before we worshiped Brian, the guy who was born next door to Jesus, and long before we discovered the meaning of life, there was the Flying Circus. Hatched from the brilliant minds of Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and Terry Gilliam, the British-born "Monty Python's Flying Circus" was the most silly. and absurd sketch-comedy series in th wasn't blasting me at all. She was just looking for a reason to tellher husband "I told you so." A proud smile crept across my face. "Could you help our argument and tell me when that picture was taken?" she asked. Of course I responded, giggling as I typed. Christine Unfortunately, I Steffens never heard back. Fashion a Go-Go So if the guy in eavenue@alligator.org the post titled "Upset Stomach" was her husband, the world may never know. If only I had a million dollars for every time that happened. cha-ching! So now it's your turn: check out the Trendspotter blog at CNN.com under the Back to School Special Report. You just may see yourself, your significant other, your hideous shoes or your wicked hairdo. But remember this -next time you leave the house, you may want to rethink your attire. You never know where I'll be lurking. existence. I have long been a fan of the "Monty Python" movies. After I first saw "The Holy Grail," I went an entire day just quoting lines from the movie. After seeing "The Meaning of Life," my friends and I ran around singing "Every sperm is sacred." I never got to see where it all began. Sure I have seen some of the Kevin more famous sketches, such as "The Mahadeo Dead Parrot Sketch" and "The Spanish Tube Talk Inquisition," but that is not enough theavenue@aligator.arg to fully appreciate the genius of the series. With the release of "16-Ton Megaset," fans not only get to see all 45 episodes of the classic series, they also get a look at the insanity behind the insanity. The set includes bios, useless tidbits, fun trivia, Pythonisms with a glossary and post-Python career highlights. The collection also includes "Live at Aspen," which reunites the troupe for the first time in 18 years. Unfortunately, there is a small problem. The entire set is a whopping $199.99. While die-hard fans may be willing to cough up that kind of cash, those just wanting to check out the series run into a bit of a snag. My advice is to check your local video store, and if they don't have it, say Ni repeatedly until they order it. Hipp f im disappointS Y ou can forgive some movies with no point, like say, .'Napoleon Dynamite." You could even love a few of them. But some movies with no point just have no point; I'm referring to a movie being released today at the Hippodrome State Theater. Usually the Hipp gets good, thought-provoking movies, but this one leaves a feeling of depression and the question lingers -why did I watch thids? From the very beginning, "Saraband" is confusing. The protagonist, Marianne, suddenly drops in to visit her ex-husband, Johan, after about 30 years, despite his objection. The movie shows the sad situation between Johan's son from another marriage, the son's 19year-old daughter and their screwed-up relationship. The son, Henrik, is Gabriella the pathetic Vigier one who Curtain Call will probtheavenue@aligator.org ably get on your nerves. It's one of those relationships that should never exist. A father needs to validate his existence by pressuring his daughter. He tries to show he is still worth something in the music world by pushing his daughter, Karmin, to play the cello. Therefore, he forces her into a conservatory she never agreed to go to in the first place. He also can't accept the possibility that being fired from both a university and a concert conductor is his own fault. This causes him to take out his frustration on Karin. You aren't allowed to feel sorry for Henrik, especially when he tries to kill Karin. The term "Saraband" refers to a certain piece of music Henrik asks Karin to play. Marianne's only real role in the movie is to speak directly to the camera once in a while and offer comfort to poor Karin If you're an avid movie-goer, you'll know how overdone this storyline is. There is also a scene where Karin and Johan are sleeping in bed together. Maybe that's a normal thing in Europe -or not, I don't know -but considering the circumstances in the movie, it's a bit disturbing. "Saraband" offers nothing new and leaves a weight on you that can only really be relieved with a good dose of whiskey I'm not saying it's a totally bad movie, but do you really want to be depressed tonight? /E $20 TODAY 67 THIS WEEK!

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org Running back Markus Manson runs against Louisiana Tech. Manson could finally get a shot at the starting tailback position Saturday against Mississippi State. Manson finally game-reaa By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org Markus Manson has been running his entire life. Now, he's tired of it. They're called "gassers." Whenever a running back fumbles, he must sprint from sideline to sideline a variable amount of times. Manson remembers running four to six per practice earlier in the season. "They make me run gassers for fumbling;" Manson explained. "I don't like doing that.'' The running back who's speed generated so much buzz as he served on the scout team last year has continued to use his legs more during practice than on Saturdays this season, but perhaps not anymore. Before his legs fell off, Manson realized he had to address his ballhandling issues. Coach Urban Meyer believes the freshman finally has. Meyer said Manson, the fastest of UF's four running backs, is close to earning the starting job and will play as the Gators try to revive their dormant rushing game against Mississippi State on Saturday. Against Alabama, linebacker Earl Everett led the Gators in rushing before junior DeShawn Wynn rushed for 31 yards during the fourth quarter SEE MANSON, PAGE 23 PoIs worksto improve passing By LOUIS ANASTASIS Alligator Staff Writer lanastasis@aligator.org If only Josh Portis could throw the ball well. The concept seems simple enough, but Portis has struggled with passing thus far. His speed provides the Gators with an obvious perk when he enters games, but Portis has logged 21 rushes to just six pass attempts. Compound his throwing troubles with fumbling issues, and you get a work-in-progress. "Our quarterback has to be able to do more than run the option," Coach Urban Meyer said. "He has to be a well-balanced guy." The good news for the Gators is that Portis' passing has improved somewhat. "He's better-now than he's ever been, but he's still not a polished passer," said Meyer, who added that Portis will play against Mississippi State. CRAWLING OUT OF THE GATES: UF may want to kickoff to start the game Saturday. The Gators have been anemic on opening drives this season. In their four games, not counting. Tennessee, UF's opening drives have resulted in three punts and a blocked punt. "Awful," Meyer described it. "I think the ideal one was against Tennessee when we kicked off, played good defense, returned a punt and two plays later we're down to, the 20. I'm very concerned about [opening drives]." INJURY UPDATE: Wide receiver Jemalle Cornelius continues to recover from a sprained left ankle. Though he has been practicing with an ankle brace, Meyer expects him to play against Mississippi State on Saturday. Comnelius "eal is still sore, but we're counting on him going," he said. Center Mike Degory (ankle and MCL) returned to practice for three quarters of Wednesday's session. After leaving the game against Alabama on Saturday, offensive linemen Tavares Washington (shoulder) and Jim Tartt (ribs) also should play against the Bulldogs. Gators to be defined by remaining schedule despite setback to 'Ba ma n the span of three and a half hours, the entire UF football team was exposed last Saturday, right? Urban Meyer went from an offensive genius to an offensive play caller. Chris Leak went from a Heisman candidate to a kidney-transplant candidate, after all the blindside shots he took from'Bama's Mark Anderson and DeMeco Ryans. I've heard the backlash against the Gators this week, and I have one thing to say: Please, stop it. There's a little thing called "perspective" MLB Playoffs Red Sox 4 White Sox 5 Astros 10 Braves 5 I'd like to introduce to you. Hopefully, most people would have the intelligence to see that the team that stepped onto the field in Tuscaloosa, Ala., will not be the same team that plays Mississippi State this homecoming weekend. There's an expression in the NFL that, on any given Sunday, any team is capable of winning, no matter what. The more I watch the Southeastern Conference this year, the more I believe that statement holds true. Personally, I don't think Alabama is 28 points better thanthe Gators, but last Saturday they were. I also know for a fact that Tennessee is far better than the team Farzad Safi that showed up in the Far's Side Swamp. fsaf@sajgator.org Everyone doubted the Volunteers' offense before heading to Baton Rouge and what did they do? They shocked LSU in overtime behind newly appointed hero 1913: The UF football team defeats Southern College (now Florida Southern) 144-0. But the blowout doesn't come close to Georgia Tech's collegiate-record 222-0 victory against Cumberland. Rick Clausen. It's easy to judge a team on a week-toweek basis, but you have to look at the bigger picture. With the Gators for example, the offensive line has yet to have a game where they dominated the opposition. Did you know that the only statistical categories UF leads the SEC in are sacks allowed and field goals? Ouch. Yesterday, fellow columnist App-etite for Receptions stated that the hoopla around the SEE SAFI, PAGE 23 MLB: Astros vs. Braves Fox, 8 p.m. I Football: N.C.

22, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6,2005 L. E 0 L. 0 E 0 (D 4-0 CL 0 9) 1i UF ASSISTANT COACHED MSU RUNNING BACK LAST SEASON. By FARZAD SAFI Alligator Staff Writer fsafi@alligator.org Jerious Norwood won't be taking anyone by surprise this year. Last season, the Mississippi State running back seemingly came out of nowhere to lead the Bulldogs to an upset of UP. While former Gators running back Ciatrick Fason put up -a16carry, 143-yard performance, those numbers paled in comparison to Norwood's 174-yard game, which included a game-winning 37-yard touchdown run. "Jerious Norwood surprised us last year," defensive end Jeremy Mincey said. "The coaches told us about him, but since nobody knew his name we really didn't take him seriously." This season, everyone in the Southeastern Conference knows the First Team All-SEC running back by name. Last season, linebacker Brandon Siler could only watch from the sideline as the speedy 6-foot, 204pound back shredded the Gators play after play. "He is a pretty shifty, pretty good running back," Siler said. "We have got to get him down if we want to win this weekend."

But perhaps, the most interesting subplot of all is UF running backs coach Stan Drayton, an assistant at Mississippi State last season, facing his former pupil. "Jerious Norwood surprised us last year. The coaches told us about him, but since nobody knew his name we really didn't take him seriously." Jeremy Mincey UF defensive end If anyone knows how dangerous Norwood can be, it is Drayton. "Jerious is a -game breaker, there's no question about it," Drayton said. "He changes the tempo of the game, and when he steps on the field, the speed of the entire game changes." The Gators' front seven did a decent job containing Tennessee's Gerald Riggs Jr. But UF's run-stoppers had a tougher time with the quicker Darby. Norwood is a similarly speedy back, clocking in at 4.47 seconds in the 40-yard dash, but he also has the ability to shed defenders in the open field. "Sure, Jerious might be a little skinny," Drayton said. "He looks a lot like Markus Manson at about 205 [pounds]. "He's not a real big kid, but he is going to hit you with some speed and make you miss." Does Drayton have any advice for stopping his former player? "The only way to stop him is to rally," he said. "You play disciplined defense, and you cover your gaps. "You just need to make tackles in the open space." Drayton revealed that the defense has spent all week practicing on making open field tackles and the linebackers, especially, have worked on gang tackling. This homecoming weekend could be difficult for Drayton, as he will be reunited with friends in Norwood and Bulldogs' coach Sylvester Croom. "I keep in contact with both Jerious and Coach Croom," Drayton said. "Coach was the only person who ever took me aside and showed me the cut-throat nature of the business, and I'll always appreciate that." Drayton keeps in contact with his former star, saying he calls Norwood about once a week. "We're very good friends who will keep in touch for the rest of our lives," Drayton said.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2005 U ALLIGATORr23 Gators offensive line struggles with pass protection INJURIES, LACK OF CHEMISTRY CONTRIBUTE TO GROUP'S WOES. By ERIC ESTEBAN Alligator Staff Writer eesteban@alligator.org After taking one step forward against Kentucky, UF's offensive line took two steps in the wrong direction in Tuscaloosa. It took Alabama all of one play to exploit what has become a thriving point of inconsistency in the Gators offense. With quarterback Chris Leak in the shotgun on the first play from scrimmage, Tide defensive end Mark Anderson broke through the line and sacked Leak, who fumbled the ball before it was pounced on by a UF offensive lineman. The sack was the first of four the line would give up, and by the hme the elephant had stampeded through the trenches, the Gators ran into the locker room leading the Southeastern Conference in sacks allowed with 18. Through just five games, perhaps a more troubling statistic for the offensive line, which lost left tackle Jonathan Colon and right guard Mo Mitchell to graduation, is how itgave up only 19 sacks in all of 2004. "We need to work harder on technique and get better at how we compete, but there's no magic to it," offensive line coach John Hevesy said. "The way we are not protecting Leak and giving up sacks, it's disgusting right now, and that has to change." Hevesy's offensive line at Utah was revered by Coach Urban Meyer as one of most wellcoached units he had seen. The Utes offensive line was one of the more athletic groups in the country, paving the way for Meyer's spread offense in the Mountain West Conference. However, Hevesy has struggled to find such consistency and athleticism because of injuries. "Five guys work together all week in practice, and then the game comes around and you lose two of them and that sets everything off sync," he said. "It's not an excuse, but we have to learn to compete a little harder and work a little harder." Both of UF's startGators ing guards, senior OffensiVe line left guard Tavares Washington and redshirt freshman right guard Jim Tartt, were limited in the Alabama game with elbow and rib injuries, respectively. Also, senior center Mike Degory has missed time at practice this week nursing an MCL and ankle, but all three are expected to be back for the Mississippi State game. While backup guards Drew Miller, a sophomore, and Steve Rissler, a junior, seemed to hold their own against the Crimson Tide, the lack of chemistry on the interior line has hurt the running game and pass protection. "It definitely hurts because of how we have had to rotate them inside," Hevesy said. -'It's like a marriage. You kind of know and expect how your wife does things. When you're a left tackle, you expect to know how your left guard does things." The Gators' troubles up front raise even more questions because of how much was invested in their returning leadership throughout Meyer's spring practices. Four out of five starting spots on the line belonged to seniors at the beginning of the year. Tackles Lance Butler and Randy Hand, along with Degory and Washington, might have to increase their leadership with the Gators facing off against some of the SEC's most talented defenses. "I think the big thing is that the mistakes we are making are simple," Degory said. "It seems like everything is caving in, but we just have to come out and prepare more." Maturity, fumbling hindered playing time MANSON, from page 21 Running backs coach Stan Drayton believes Manson is ready to jump-start UF's rushing game. "He's game-ready; there's no question," Drayton said. "He's a tempo changer. He gets into the ball game and the speed of the game changes." "I'm going to put him in position this week during practice to grab the bull by the horns and just run with it." As Manson redshirted last season, the UF sideline was abuzz with accounts of his explosiveness. But after a spring of promise, the redshirt freshman fell to fourth on the Gators depth chart during the summer. By UF's season-opener against Wyoming, he watched from the sideline as true freshman Kestalin Moore lined up at tailback for the Gators first play from scrimmage. "I was wondering why I wasn't playing," Manson said, "but I couldn't fault anybody but myself for that." While his maturity level and understanding of the offense hindered Manson's playing time, Meyer said the freshman simply couldn't hang on to the ball. "In high school, they really didn't teach us how to hold the ball," Manson said. "It didn't matter, but up here, they put an emphasis on holding the ball the way they want." Trying to break the back's fumbling ways, coaches drilled Manson on keeping his wrist above his elbow to lock the ball in place as he ran. Manson said he has mastered the technique and Drayton believes the freshman could become the aggressive type of back the Gators desperately need. "Let's take away a little of that finesse part of it," Drayton said. "I don't care if you can she and bake. If there's a lane, I want you to take the lane. Let's create bad [pursuit] angles because you're exploding through holes and breaking tackles." Now, Manson finally has an opportunity at becoming the 20to 25-carries-per-game workhorse Meyer said the Gators have needed all season. It's a role Manson believes he will.fill just fine. "I did it in high school," Manson said. "So why not here?" SAFI, from page 21 loss to Alabama was a bit excessive because the Gators have responded well to early blowouts in the past. I completely agree. UF could have lost by 1 or by 100, and it still would register as a single loss. The fact of the matter is that there are still six games left on the schedule and the Gators control their own destiny Once UF gets its obligatory win against Mississippi State this weekend, however, the real challenges begin. The schedule is brutal, with road games against LSU, Georgia, and tricky South Carolina. You have to believe that the 01' Ball Coach will upset someone, and why not his alma mater? Add to that home games against one-loss Vanderbilt and undefeated Florida State and you've got five easily losable games. .People talk about how Ron Zook got a raw deal for taking over a UF team devoid -of any talent. I think Meyer's task is just as difficult -winning the SEC in a year that parity dominates. "One thing I've leaked about this conference," Meyer said, "is that you better be ready to go every week." Enjoy yourself, Coach Meyer, this weekend as your players avenge last year's loss to the Bulldogs. But remember that it's what happens against LSU that will determine whether you are a God or a goat in Gainesville. 10,000 UF Studets For more information cal 3921 1 61 Al or visit us at WWW.shcc.ufl.edu/gatorwell so,,y Gator Produced by: University of Florida Student Health Care Center a
