UPD safety week
shows the ropes
* TRAFFIC AWARENESS WEEK
WILL INCLUDE A BIKE SAFETY
CLASS TODAY AT 3 P.M.
By CHRISTOPHER HIATT
Alligator Contributing Writer'
Sean Donovan, a 22-year-old elec-
trical engineering senior, remembers'
-his accident on a bicycle during the
Fall of his freshman year.
"I was riding in the bike lane on
Museum Road, near Frat Row, when
a truck tried to take a quick turn to
avoid traffic and broadsided me,"
Donovan said.
Dohovan broke his arm in the
crash, and the ipdcnt was immedi-
ately reported to University Police.
But most traffic incidents, includ-
ing bicycle accidents, aren't reported
to UPD, said officer Holly Thomas.
This is one reason why UPD
is hosting its bi-annual Traffic
Awarerfess Week on campus. The
series of e,' nt.n focuses its efforts on
raising awareness of traffic safety and
law among UF students.
Police officials kicked off the week
Monday morning by distributing
"Headlight on Traffic," a safety news-
letter designed to raise awareness
among students. UPD will also host a
free bicycle-safety class at 3 p.m. today
in its community services classroom.
While the class is geared toward
those who have received a citation, of-
ficials are urging all students to attend.
"This is really about trying to get
the information out there," said UPD
officer Darren Sanders.
This week's activities are designed
to raise awareness of the problems UF
students face when combining cars,
bikes and pedestrians in a congested
area. It will also help students under-
stand the law as it applies to them.
"There are 20,000 bikes on cam-
pus each day, and they need- to be
aware that bicycles are treated like
cars on campus," said UPD Capt. Jeff
Holcomb.
Running a stop sign or a stoplight
on a bicycle results in a $118 fine. The
bicycle-safety class is
Public offered as an alterna-
Saf Y five to paying the fine,
Holcomb said.
"It's kind of a get-out-of-jail-free
card, but it's on a one-time basis,"
Holcomb said.
Pedestrian and traffic safety is
a long-standing issue at UF. There
were eight bicycle injuries\ reported
on campus in 2004, and four pedes-
trians were injured in traffic-related
incidents.
UPD hosts an awareness week on
campus each semester. In the Spring,
it targets Spring Break in order to
promote alcohol awareness as well as
traffic safety.
Holcomb said this semester's
events could not come at a better time.
"Fall is even more important be-
cause you have so many freshmen
who don't know the rules," he said.
AROUND GAINESVILLE
Architecture grad students to design urban village
By JESSICA RIFFEL
Alligator Writer
jriffel@alligator.org
UF architecture graduate students have
been given the opportunity to design a stu-
dent village around Southwest 20th Avenue.
"We look for the involvement of our
students in real life situations sq they can
better understand the subject," UF School of
Architecture Director Martha Kohen said.
The chance arose after UF architecture
professor Martin Gold received a $20,000
grant from the Alachua County Metropolitan
UF point guard
Taurean Green will
orchestrate a new-
look Gators' offense
this season. Without
UF's top-three scorers
from last season,
Green says the whole
team must pick up
the slack.

Transportation Planning Organization to de-
velop designs for the 20th Avenue area.
Gold's graduate students will work on the
design for a high density urban student vil-
lage, which could include apartments, shops,
restaurants and parks.
"In this case, we are looking for an urban
village,,which is a-point of intensity in the ur-
ban world," Kohen said.
She said the project should provide a
walkable, environmentally healthy and social
space.
UF architecture students have been in-
volved in city and county design in the past.
"We look for the involvement of
our students in real life situations
so they can better understand the
subject."

UF School of Architecture director
They presented a design for the Depot Avenue
Eco-Development Project in 1999, and build-
ing construction students were given the op-
portunity to restore a historic dance hall in
East Gainesville in 2004.

Continuous building
and construction projects
on UF's campus have not
hindered its commitment
to nature and wildlife,-
gaining certification as
a sanctuary from the
Audubon Society.
See story, pg. 4. -
"The school of architecture is very inter-
ested and has been involved in the city of
Gainesville and Alachua Couhty issues,"
Kohen said.
This isn't a first for the issue of urban
planning in the Southwest 20th Avenue area
either. Meetings have been held since the
mid-'90s regarding redevelopment and road
construction on and around Southwest 20th
Avenue..
The ideas focused on making the area
more pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly.
Plans also include provisions to reduce the
traffic congestion.

ON CAMPUS
Students can get legal information with their pizza
By CHRISTINA SIMAK
Alligator Writer
csimak@alligator.org
Would University Police be harsher on
possession of a fake ID or marijuana? What
happens if a student is caught drinking un-
derage in a dorm? Can Party Patrol hold the
host of a party responsible for incidents that
occur there? What happens if a driver refuses
a sobriety test?
Campus Diplomats will hold its Laws
Over Lunch event on campus to answer these
and more legal questions over pizza today on
the Reitz Union Colonnade at 11:30 a.m.
The presentation will feature speakers from
UPD, Student Legal Services, Student Judicial
Affairs and the Office of the Ombudsman:.
"Most people come into school thinking
they know their rights, but at a university,
the rules are different," said junior Amanda
Shapiro, chairwoman of the program.
She said the program will open with a short
presentation from each speaker, followed by
questions from a moderator, then an open
question-and-answer session.
Moderator Dave Boneparth said students'
most frequent questions concern underage
drinking, DUIs, house and apartment leases,
fake IDs, traffic tickets, campus safety and
academic-honesty policies.
"Underage drinking is a hot topic on cam-

pus right now,", he said. "All the questions we
ask are based on students' feedback."
Daintry Cleary, director of Student
Legal Services, will discuss consumer law,
criminal charges, divorce, adoption, name
change and other family matters that affect
students.
Boneparth said the program tries to direct
students to the service that can help them.
"Most students who are unhappy about
their grades don't know that they can go to the
ombudsman with a dispute," he said. "They
don't know what happens when an officer
comes to their home during a party or what
their rights are."
UPD spokesman Capt. Jeff Holcomb said
the forum gives students a chance "to ask ques-
tions of people who enforce the laws and rules
of campus in a less intimidating atmosphere."
Shapiro said the event usually lasts one
or two hours and expects about 100 attend-
ees. Although registration is recommended,
Shapiro said walk-in students are welcome.

UF recognized for environmental leadership
By ALEXIS LLOYD
Alligator Writer
Though UF is a site of seemingly con-
stant construction projects, the campus has
not lost its natural beauty and continues
to be a sanctuary for wildlife, earning it a
sanctuary designation by a prestigious na-
ture-conservation group.
UF is the first university to become a
Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary
by Audubon International, a not-for-profit
environmental-education organization.
"It was a very fulfilling experience,"
said Jan Weinbrecht, former UF biologi-
cal scientist. "The campus set a standard
nationwide."
UF was given the designation for main-
taining a high degree of environmental
quality in five areas: environmental plan-
ning, wildlife habitat management, re-
source conservation, waste management,
and outreach and education.
According to the Audubon International
Web site, certification is a way to recognize
properties and people who are demonstrat-
ing environmental leadership through real,
meaningful action.
There are 607 certified sanctuaries
worldwide including businesses, schools
and golf courses in. the Uniited States,
Australia, Canada, Central America,
Europe and Southeast Asia.
Audubon International also teamed
"The campus set a standard
nationwide."
Jan Weinbrecht
former UF biological scientist
with UF to launch the organization's
Sustainable Communities Campaign for
Florida. The only other university to par-
ticipate in this program is North Carolina
State University.
To help with this campaign, UF an-
nounced in September the creation of the
Office of Sustainability, which is intended
to help pursue current environmental, so-
cial and economic welfare projects, such
as new buildings, throughout campus
without compromising its resources for
the future.
Audubon International's education and
certification programs are serving as a ba-
sis for training with UF faculty providing
outreach programs, research expertise and
on-site consultation for program members.
This effort is to help Audubon test pro-
grams specifically designed for university
and college campuses.
Sustainability efforts with Audubon will
assist the organization's collective research
and staff' strengths to provide better and.
more available tools for Floridians looking
to balance economic, social and environ-
mental goals in communities across the
state.

A plaque in the Corry Village butterfly garden commemorates the victims of last year's tsunami di-
saster, some of whom were family and friends of residents.
Garden honors tsunami victims
By ASHLEY ORTAGUS
Alligator Contributing Writer
Saiprassad Gunasegaran walks
by ,the flowers every day after
school and pictures the faces of the
children who were lost.
The butterfly garden near his
UF Corry Village home was cre-
ated shortly after the 2004 tsunami
to remember and honor those who
lost their lives in the disaster.
Saiprassad, 13, said he particu-
larly reflects on those who were
affected in his home country of
Malaysia.
The 2004 Indian Ocean earth-
quake was one of the deadliest
disasters in decades, and more
than 150,000 people were killed off
the coasts of Indonesia, Sri Lanka,
South India, Thailand and other
countries including Malaysia.
Saiprassad said his aunt and un-
cle who live off the northern coast of
Malaysia were affected by the tsu-
nami. Although part of their land
was damaged, they were fortunate
enough not to lose their lives.
"When I am standing in the but-
terfly garden, it's nice because it re-
minds me of the tsunami victims,"
Saiprassad said. "Every day in the
evenings, I walk with my friends
near the garden, and I can picture
the faces of small children that died
'in the tsunami."
Carolina Gomez, programming
staff assistant manager and resident
of Corry Village, said the idea for
the butterfly garden began during
People Awareness Week, shortly
after the tsunami happened.
"The butterfly garden was
something that was initi-
ated by-our residents, and
we wanted to show our
support for them."
Mohammed Hussain
UF director of family and residen-
tial housing
"It was a group of people's idea
to start something to help relieve
the grief," she said.
Gomez said after they had
the idea for the butterfly garden,
they requested funds from the
Department of -Housing and
Residence Education. Six months
later, their request was granted,
and Gomez was asked to create a
design for the garden.
The housing department con-
tributed $900, and the UF Grounds
Department Physical Plant sup-
plied the materials and assistance
needed to create the butterfly
garden.
Mohammed Hussain, UF direc-
tor of family and residential hous-
ing, said he wanted to become in-
volved with the project because so
many of his residents were affected
by the disaster.
"The butterfly garden was
something that was initiated by
our residents, and we wanted
to show our support for them,"
Hussain said.
President of the South Asian
Student Alliance Prasanna Duraira
was not involved with the creation
of the butterfly garden, but she said
it is a great way for those deeply af-
fected by the tragedy to preserve
their memories about their lost
loved ones.
It is the responsibility of
Gomez and other Corry Village
residents to maintain the butter-
fly garden.

butterfly garden commemorates
the lives of those lost during the

Hovering over his artist's
pad, Jimmie Williams sketches
the image of a student's face in
Turlington Plaza on Monday
- a privilege that was previ-
ously revoked.
All it took to get it back was
some persistence and the help
of an anonymous student orga-
nization.
After he was asked to leave
campus by University Police
on two occasions for selling
portraits without a proper
permit, a student organization
offered to include him under
their permit so he could return.
Williams, 30, of Lake Butler,
has been trying to make his
name as an artist known
around Gainesville.
"The whole goal is to be-
come renowned, and I think
I'm doing a good job of that,"
Williams said.
He said the best way to get
his name out is to do the draw-
ings for free.
"Sometimes you have to
give something to get some-
thing," Williams said.
In July, Williams was asked
to leave campus for the first
time. He charged about $5 for
a portrait near his spot at the
Hub, but now he does facial
portraits for free. -
"I'm not a vendor," Williams
said. "I'm just trying to market
my name. I'm not trying to sell
anything."
The conflict on campus-
caused awareness of his situ-
ation.
He said there was an up-
heaval from the students who
saw what happened when he
was kicked off campus about
three weeks ago, and a student
organization reached out to
him.
"People saw what hap-
pened and offered to help me
after they saw the injustice,"
he said.
Although Williams was
kicked off campus twice, he is
back to demonstrate his per-
sistence.
"I think many times people
limit themselves when they try
and give up," Williams said.
"That's something I want to
help them overcome. That's
what I'm doing here."
Williams did not give up
his goal of becoming an artist
and now is appearing at Gator
Nights on Oct. 21 from 9 p.m.
to 1 a.m.
"Why would you quit on
something you believe in?"
Williams questioned. "Quitters
never win, and winners never
quit."
Jean-Victor Legros,
Williams' partner
Student who moved to
Life Gainesville in
2000 from Haiti
to attend SFCC, helps Williams
with graphic design.
He printed out pictures of
Kanye West for Williams to
draw and give to West when
he comes to Gainesville on
Oct. 13.
Williams said he hopes this
will boost his career by catch-
ing West's attention with the
drawing.
"He's got a lot of ambition,"
Legros said of Williams. "That's
what you need to make it."
SWilliams said he will not
stop here but will take his name
worldwide.
"The beauty of the whole
world is what I'm after now,"
Williams said. "America is
beautiful, but it's just a very
small part of the whole. My
No. 1 goal is to touch as many
lives as I can through my art-
work."
He said his next ambition is
to take his work to Europe, the
birthplace of original artists.
"If I don't reach as many
souls as I can, I'll leave the
Earth unfulfilled," he said.

Miers' nomination causes in-party division, doubt
By OLIVIA ORMOS
Alligator Contributing Writer
Harriet Miers' qualifications to be a
Supreme Court justice and her views on
privacy rights will be the focus of her
confirmation hearings, Senate Judiciary
Committee Chairman Arlen Specter .said
Monday.
Miers must show she can handle com-
plicated legal issues and that she has not
cut deals with the White House to overturn
the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized
abortion, Specter, R-Pa., said Sunday on
ABC's "This Week."
President Bush's nomination of Miers,
a longtime confidante and White House
counsel but never a judge, has caused divi-
sion among conservatives. A leader of the
right said he will not be satisfied until it is
clear whether she would vote to overturn
the abortion ruling.
A chorus of complaints and cheers from
both liberals and conservatives echoed
throughout campus since Bush's deci-
sion last week to appoint Miers to replace

Sandra Day O'Connor.
Miers has worked on previous judicial
nominations with many of the same sena-
tors who will now judge her candidacy.
"I believe it is better to have a constitu-
tional jurist on the Supreme Court, not to
take away from her career in Texas where
it is an old boys network, but there is a
difference between practicing law and in-
terpreting the Constitution," said Richard
Conley, UF political science professor.
Conley said there is legitimate criticism
that Bush chose the White House counsel
for the position and can see the appoint-
ment as a type of cronyism, or hidden
power relationships.
Conley said both Democrats and
Republicans are nervous but for different
reasons. Democrats could try to filibuster
this case. Republicans hope Miers will be
an ultra conservative.
"Everyone knows that Counsel Miers
has a good relationship with the presi-
dent, and she is' obviously someone he
respects and trusts," College Republicans
Chairwoman Ashlee Black said. "I don't
think that our president would make a de-
cision and not understand the importance
of it."
Black said she is extremely supportive
of the president and proud of his appoint-
ment. She hasn't heard 'contradictory
views from the College Republicans.
"I do not think that Roe versus Wade
will be overturned anytime in the near fu-
ture. I think this is a cry-that the Democrats
are using to scare people," Black said.
"Miers' religious background has noth-
ing to do with her ability to be a good
judge."
Black said the College Republicans feel
the president knew what he was doing
when he picked Miers.
Approximately 10 to 15 percent of
Americans want to do away with abortion
altogether, and 50 to 65 percent feel that
.abortion should be legal with some restric-
tions, Conley said.
"You can be an evangelical and you
can be self-described pro-life," Gary
Bauer, president of the American Values
Coalition, said of Miers. "But it doesn't tell
us what she will do about a decision like
Roe that has been set in stone now for over
30 years. And that's the rub."
"I do not think that Roe versus
Wade will be overturned anytime
in the near future. I think this is a
cry that the Democrats are using
to scare people."
Ashlee Black
College Republicans chairwoman
Specter, noting that a justice has lifetime
tenure, said, "If there are backroom assur-
ances and if there are backroom deals and
if there is something which bears upon a
precondition as to how a nominee is going
to vote, I think that's a matter that ought
to be known."
Specter and the Judiciary Committee's
top Democrat, Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy,
are considering having James Dobson,
founder of the social conservative group
Focus on the Family, testify to the panel.
Dobson has said he is confident that
Miers opposes abortion, based on private
assurances from the White House.
Disputing that, Leahy said Miers as-
sured him she had not made any promises
on how she would vote on Roe.

Staying put
Pulling troops out of Iraq
is unreasonable
A mericans are really getting on our nerves.
Four years ago, all we heard was how the United
States was going to free Iraqis, restore order to the
world and overcome all evil.
Now most of us seem disillusioned with the war.
In fact, only 48 percent of those surveyed in a New York
Times/CBS News poll thought the United States did the right
thing by invading Iraq.
A little late, don't you think? Or are these different
Americans than the ones who supported this crazy mission
in the first place?
A majority of Americans supported going to war, and now
a majority of Americans are against it.
Turn on the television, and you'll see liberals insisting that
the government bring our troops home.
Apparently, these guys never received the most fundamen-
tal childhood lesson: Finish what you started. Or to-translate
it to the current situation: Finish cleaning up the mess you
made.
We have a solution: Why don't all those who claim to care
about our troops enlist?
We don't have nearly enough soldiers to control the chaos.
More troops would rfiean more stability and less danger.
Unfortunately, not many people want to enlist when a war
is going on. Instead, we send a few out to do our dirty work,
and then we cry foul when it doesn't go as planned.
None of the Editorial Board believes the United States
should have invaded Iraq in the first place. We were against it
then, and we are against it now.
But we cannot fix our nation's past mistakes by aban-
doning a country whose course we have already changed.
Their blood is now on our hands, and we have to clean it
up.
And no, we're not saying people weren't dying before.
People are dying all over the world, and we can't save every-
one: However, the minute we declare war on a government,
we have to follow through. To do otherwise would be irre-
sponsible and irreparable.
Our goal should be to stabilize the region, not to run away
from the disaster.
We just hope our military doesn't sneak away when the
national interest is exhausted. Our country has a habit of dip-
ping its finger into international politics, stirring the pot and
watching the resulting chaos from afar.
Our meddling with Panama at the beginning of the 20th
century resulted in the country seceding from Colombia and
installing its own president. We helped rebels create a govern-
ment that became unstable and corrupt. And then we invaded
it in the 1980s.
After we fiddled with domestic conflicts in Vietnam and
helped spread the war to surrounding countries, we suddenly
left when enthusiasm faded.
And we slyly helped an Iranian monarch get back into
power in the 1950s after he was ousted from the country. He
clearly wasn't welcome; the Iranian revolution finally suc-
ceeded in getting rid of him more than 20 years later.
America can't be blamed for the political upheavals and the
atrocities that happen in foreign nations, unless we have used
our power and money to tip the scales.
When we do that, we must realize our responsibilities to
the citizens whose lives we've helped throw into new chaos.
Otherwise, we're like a father who takes his child out of
an inadequate school, drives to the middle of nowhere and
deposits his offspring on the side of the road.
It's wrong, it's irresponsible, and it will create exactly what
we set out to eradicate: terrorists.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Opinions
Politics threaten er
L ions and tigers and politicians oh my.
The Sept. 29 vote to slaughter sections of the 1973
Endangered Species Act has members of both parties
roaring. If it passes the Senate, our government will have
signed death warrants for 1,268 endangered plants and ani-
mals protected under the act.
One of the most glaring problems with this bill is that it
eliminates the "critical habitat" for endangered or threatened
species. Under the current act, when an endangered species
is found, the surrounding area becomes protected. Building
on the land would have the owner in the lion's den.
But the modification eliminates critical habitat entirely. So
it's still illegal to shoot a species, but you can take away its
habitat without question.
Hasn't America learned that messing with Mother Nature
usually doesn't work to its favor? Have years of hurricanes,
tornados, wildfires and earthquakes taught us nothing of the
potential destruction an upset in nature can cause?
For those still not making the connection between ex-
tinction and its adverse effects on the balanced ecological
harmony in nature, Scotty Johnson of Defenders of Wildlife
put it best: "What is a fish without a river? What is a bear
without woods?"
The answer? Dead.
The bill eliminates the creatures' habitats but adds a re-
quirement for the government to come up with a "recovery
plan" for relocating species within two years. Right. One
look at the government's track record for planning in a
timely fashion shows it works slower than a three-toed sloth.
Moreover, even if the government does invent some kind of
recovery plan, the land still isn't protected from federal ac-
tion. Sound fishy? It gets worse.
The bill would also repeal restrictions on pesticides that
are illegal due to the hazard they pose to endangered species.

Amy Furthermore, federal agencies could
Eisinger avoid consultation with environmen-
Talking Liberally tal specialists when building.
letters@alligator.org Oddly enough, none of these
changes caused much outrage in the
House. Instead, the most heated controversy stems from a
provision about taxes. Taxpayers would compensate land-
owners whose building plans are quashed because of the
development's potential harm to an endangered species.
And this compensation has no set limit.
The government would be paying landowners to simply
comply with the law.
Aside from unnecessary, I'm wondering if this is even
legal.
What's more, skinning the act to its raw carcass favors
property owners far more than the very animals it should be
protecting. Giving money to landowners becomes a financial
disaster for taxpayers, and eradicating critical habitats is an
environmental time bomb.
In bills such as this, we can usually depend on the
Senate to fix the grave oversights of the House. But with the
Threatened and Endangered Species Recovery Act, there's
nothing worth salvaging.
How can anyone think that repealing 150 million acres
of critical habitat would do any good for wildlife? Passing
this bill would once again be a money-fueled decision
based on personal agendas. It's a quick fix to a much
more complicated problem: overpopulation in America's
suburbia.
Instead of working against the environment we live in,
why don't we try to work'around nature and endangered
species?
After all, they were the property owners first.

Guest column
Abortion is not akin to genocide
Love when pro-lifers invoke death-toll num-
bers to get their point across.
In his letter in Friday's Alligator, Thomas
Harrington wrote that 46 million fetuses have
been aborted.
That is a large figure to be sure, but what if
a sizable proportion of Americans didn't think
those 46 million Americans-in-the-making were,
well, people? According to a Pew Center report
from this month, 65 percent of Americans are
against overturning Roe v. Wade, while a plurality
of Americans feel that abortion should be "gener-
ally available."
The question of when life starts is still one that
is up for grabs, although people who are against
abortion would have you believe that conception
starts when you look a person of the opposite sex
squarely in the eyes with romantic intentions.
This fundamental issue has yet to be resolved
to the comfort of both parties in this case, but pro-
lifers still espouse the view that a tiny organism
without the capability to breathe on its own or
make its own decisions could take the stand in a
hearing deciding the right tolife.
Secondly, this "harsh truth" hardly qualifies as
"genocide." The American Heritage'Dictionary of
the English Language defines genocide as "the
systematic and planned extermination of an entire
national, racial, political or ethnic group." Unless
Josh Gellers unborn fetuses start a lob-
Speaking Out bying group in Washington,
I am not ready to commit to
the fantasy that abortion
constitutes genocide. To even imply so would be
to show a lack of respect for those who have died
at the hands of genocidal actions.
Finally, I am going to go out on a limb and say
that many pro-life advocates like Mr Harrington
probably prefer red over blue, Condoleezza over
Hillary, and are most likely against big govern-
ment and a welfare state.
Therefore, I find it highly hypocritical for
someone to talk about the millions of children
we could have saved. Most likely, if they were all
-alive, you would be ranting about the terrible in-
justice that is the state of affairs regarding welfare
in the United States since parents unable to afford
a child would now have many kids without any
potential alternative.
Is bringing a child into a life of poverty not a
crime in itself? I find it humorous that conserva-
tives want to have their cake and eat it too.
If you are anti-abortion, get ready to lobby
your elected officials for increases in welfare
spending. To do otherwise would be downright
irresponsible.
Josh Gellers is a UF senior and the editor-in-chief of
UF International Review.
Letter to the Editor
Morals may have divine origin
In Monday's guest column,
Allison Pritchard said that nqnre-
ligious citizens are discriminated
against and ostracized. To her and
those in similar situations, I am sor-
ry. That should not be the response
of the Christian community.
As a young woman with a very
real and personal faith in Jesus
Christ, I would ask her to also
not forget that the persecution of
Christians and Jews "in earlier
times" has not ceased. The battle-
ground and war tactics espe-
cially in the United States have
just changed.
She also wrote that atheists or
agnostics can have moral values.
And I agree with her. However, I
believe that the root ofthe issue lies
much deeper than that. Most of us
are aware of the need for some kind
of agreement on morality. In truth,
there is a core of moral constraints
underlying human civilization.
So the question begs to be-asked:
Where do these moral values come
from?
Take the idea of selfishness, for
example. Although various cultures
have differed on whom to be un-
selfish with one's family, friends,
nation, etc. most people have
always agreed that, at some point,
selfishness is morally wrong and
that ideas of goodness, compassion
and understanding are ethically
upright. Why?
Reason and study have led me to
assert that these moral values have
been put into the very core of our
being by an "intelligent designer."
I must agree with Allison once
more. Adherence to this overarch-
ing term of "religion" is not a neces-
sity for moral standards. However,
I hope those sincerely investigating
truth will not grow complacent in
their search and instead honestly
consider the belief that a very per-
sonal God does, in fact, exist.

Seniors aim
PECK HOPES TO PROVE HERSELF
AFTER SUB-PAR SEASON.
By NICK ZACCARDI
Alligator Writer
Carolyn Peck better watch her back.
The UF women's basketball coach learned
that on Saturday at the UF football game
against Mississippi State, when she encoun-
tered a critical Gators' fan sitting behind her.
The fan uttered remarks about Urban
Ieyer's Gators and their play against the
Bulldogs. Peck stuck up for Meyer.
"I turned around and I said, 'If you're a
Gator, you're a Gator all the time,'" said Peck
at the team's media day on Monday. "So.
you've got to stick with the Gators through
thick and through thin."
That same message could be the motto for
to 'go out w
the UF women's basketball team's 2005-06
season. After coming off their second losing
season in the last 17 years, the Gators expe-
rienced the thin last season, going 5-9 in the
Southeastern Conference and dropping their
final five games.
"[The seniors] want to go out with a bang,"
senior guard Sarah Lowe said. "For us, it's go-
ing to be looking at last season and looking for
ways to improve."
Peck may be on the hot seat, but she will
get a chance to prove herself as the three other
players with whom she started three years ago
enter their senior year.
"Personally, I know that she's a really good
coach, and I feel like she doesn't have to prove
that to us," senior guard Danielle Santos said.
"But this year we're going to -help her prove to
everybody else how good of a coach she is."
The past three years have been an adjust-
ment, senior forward Dalila Eshe said.
ith a bang' this season
"The transition from being freshmen under
Coach Peck to being seniors now has been
interesting," Eshe said. "We've been through
a number of different styles of coaching, and
have finally gotten adjusted to each other as
far as the player-coach relationship has devel-
oped with us over the years."
The Gators will look to
replace their top three scor-
| ers, Bemice Mosby, who
transferred to Baylor, -Tashia
Moorehead, now an assistant
to Peck, and Tamia Williams. The three com-
bined for 36.9 points per game last season.
The scoring can rebound, but the intan-
gibles brought by the departed seniors will be
tough to replace, Peck said.
"[The toughest part of] losing seniors like
Tishona Gregory, Tamia Williams and Tashia
Moorehead especially Tashia and Tamia
- is the leadership that they brought," Peck
said.
Four returning Gators have logged starts
and have improved their shooting over the
off-seasonPeck said.
"The key though is that we have players
who can score," she said. "Sarah Lowe has
worked on her shot a lot in the off-season.
Brittany Davis and Dalila Eshe.have worked
extremely hard on theirs. Having Danielle
Santos back on the court will bring us back
some offense as well."
A top-10 recruiting class, the highest-
ranked in school history, of six freshmen will
aid UF's seven returning players.
Peck wants them to contribute right away.
"I demonstrated in my first year here with
the group not to be afraid to put it on the floor
and learn on the job," Peck said. "That's what
we're going to have to do with the six fresh-
men that we have this year. It's going to have
to be on-the-job training."

Gators eager to defend
BASKETBALL, from page 16
Green says that fact will greatly benefit his team.
"Teams like to key-in and focus on-one player, like 'Ok, if
they need a bucket they're going to go to this player,'" Green
said. "We want it to be all five players on the court is a threat
to score, and instead of just having one person, a team won't
know who's going to shoot it or who's going to score for
you, that's how we want it to be."
Sophomore Al Horford blocked 51
shots last year, the most by a UF player
since Andrew DeClerq in 1993-94. He will
join Brewer, who averaged 1.4 steals last
year, as an anchor of a defense that held
eight of its last nine opponents under 70.
points in the 2004-05 season.
Last season's Gators finished third in
" Horford the SEC in points per game allowed with
63.1, which was in sharp contrast to their_
11th-place finish in the same category a year earlier.
Richard feels like the attitude that allowed UF to develop
a reputation has more than carried over to this team.
"Everybody is eager to play defense this year," Richard
said. "Everybody wants to get stops, everybody wants to
press, everybody wants to do all that stuff, there's a lot of
pride on defense."
FOOTBALL, from page 16'
Still, Meyer stopped short of saying Grace, who hasn't
played this season, was suspended from the team.
"I'm trying to get a team ready to play LSU," Meyer
said. "He won't be on the trip [to Baton Rouge] or any-
thing like that. I've just got to find out more about it."
LEAK TO RETURN: After mysteriously missing practice
last week with a secret shoulder injury, UF quarterback
Chris Leak sat out Monday's drills but will return on
Tuesday.
Leak was replaced by true freshman Josh Portis
in the first quarter of Saturday's 35-9 victory against
FISHER, from page 16
Saturday: "Jemalle couldn't have
played. We knew that on Monday."
Meyer's comments on Monday
came before he knew the extent
of the injury. He didn't say any-
thing about it on Tuesday,. and
on Thursday he didn't say either
way if Cornelius would play. On
Wednesday, Meyer said Cornelius
would probably play, then after the
game he said he actually knew on
Monday that Cornelius wasn't go-
ing to.
Mississippi State when Leak re-injured the shoulder.
Leak woulcrlater return and throw a touchdown as well
. as an interception.
While Meyer said he's concerned about the injury, of-
fensive coordinator Dan Mullen said he is less worried,
adding that Leak should be at 100 percent when the
Gators face LSU on Saturday
CHAMPIONS: Meyer announced the list of inductees into
his Champions Club on Monday.
Highlighting the list were Southeastern Conference
Defensive Lineman of the Week Jeremy Mincey and
junior receiver Dallas Baker, who finished with a per-
sonal-best 123 receiving yards against Mississippi State
. on Saturday.
That, by definition, is a lie. This is
a fact not my opinion.
That is the only problem I have
with any of this.
However, it shouldn't be that big
a deal. Did Meyer lie? Yes.
But coaches lie all the time. It's
nothing we aren't used to in sports.
Every time a coach is asked if he is
going to leave his school, the answer
is always, "No, I'm happy here."
Even Meyer said something to that
effect. Every coach would've done
the same thing in both situations, so
Meyer shouldn't be singled out.
Yes, they're lies, but they're nec-
essary lies, like this one was.
He said Monday that his obliga-
tions are to the safety of his players
and the production of his team. Not
telling the media about injures ac-
complishes both of those, so Meyer
is acting in his best interest. Meyer
could've handled Cornelius' injury
differently, just saying he wouldn't
comment on it Wednesday, but
what's done is done.
Meyer released more injury
information Monday, but we don't
know what is true. All I know is that
Meyer doesn't have to tell us about
players' injuries. That's no lie.

That could have been it for
Brewer's football career, and
no one would have been disap-

How many high school foot-
ball players can say they record-
ed eight receptions in a playoff
game while also seeing time at
cornerback?
But Brewer had bigger plans,
and part of that meant getting
bigger.
For the next six years, the

wouldn't hear much about him.

Stunning "final" game

After Brewer proved that

This time, Brewer was aim-
ing even higher than high school
stardom, and that meant seek-
ing out the new head honcho in
town.
"I thought that with Urban
Meyer coming in here and the
reputation he has, as far as look-
ing for disciplined individuals, I
kind of thought Cam would get a
lucky break," Clifford said.
"The one conversation I had
with Coach Meyer about him,
before he walked on, was if Cam
does nothing else, he's going to

one of the things he brings to the
program."
Military secrets

Baker heard rumors about Brewer

Brewer. quickly became a
popular figure in the locker
room, and "those" questions, as
Brewer remembers them, kept
popping up:
A. Did you serve in Iraq?
B. Did you shoot anybody?
C. Did you blow up stuff?
No, Brewer didn't serve in
Iraq.
Instead, the Marines had other
plans for him long before war
broke out.
Brewer was placed on
Embassy duty in Italy and India.
If an important figure, such
as the United States president
or secretary of state arrived, he
would work in conjunction with
'the Secret Service and, at times,
guard the entire area of a hotel.
Although Brewer fin-

Embassy school and his

obtain, he admits it

"A lot of people
consider it fortunate, I
guess, but all of us wanted
to be in Iraq," Brewer said. "We
were doing just as an important
job, protecting the Embassy. *
"You join because you've got
to serve your country and fight-
for your country and when the
war came up of course I was like
'Well shoot, I want to be there
with everyone else, doing my
part.'"
But all along, the life-long
Gators fan prepared for his next
career as a 25-year-old freshman
on the UF football team.
The grueling Marines regimen
kept him in perfect shape, while
he managed to play a little foot-
ball here and there.
Brewer doubts he could have
succeeded at UF as an 18-year-
old, but it's no secret the Marines
can make a boy mature quickly.
"We train so hard to be the
best, and it's the same thing here
at Florida football," Brewer said.
"You train so hard to be the best,
and that's why the Marine Corps
really did give me that extra little
edge I needed to be successful."
Preparing to play
These days, players like Baker,
who have spent their entire lives
thinking, about football, video
games and little else, truly "see
Brewer as an inspirational figure.
"We were complaining about
how hot it was during two-a-
days, and he said it was a. lot
worse in India," Baker said. "He

saw all these poor people [suffer-
ing] in the heat, but they weren't
complaining."
That's behind Brewer for now,
and on Sept. 3, a lifelong dream
finally became a reality.
Brewer received the oppor-
tunity to dress for UF's season
opener against Wyoming.
It was sentimental to his en-
tire family for so many reasons.
Brewer spent much of his child-
hood breathing Gators football
.with his father Tom, who passed
away when Cam was 13.
"Just seeing him run out of
tunnel in that first game [was
amazing]," Brewer's mother
Melanie Wise said. "His uncle
and aunt were there and ... all of
us were wishing his dad could be
there to see Cam run out of the
tunnel.
"Even if he doesn't get to play,
he made it." -
But there's still that final issue.
At 25, Brewer's grateful to be in
this position, but he truly came to
UF to make some sort of a differ-
ence on the field.
"He's a high-character human
being that everybody cares about,
but it's hard to be a leader until
he starts getting on the field,"
Meyer said. "I'm going to try to
get him on the field a little bit."
Added Meyer. with a smile, "I
wish he swas about four inches
taller and about three steps
faster."
After spending six years in
the Marines, Brewer believes he
can do more than just scrimmage
against -UF's third- and fourth-
string defenses.
"I think I can really do some-
thing that will contribute to the
team," Brewer said. "Whether
it's one thing I do, one play in a
season hey, that's one thing I
did for the team."
But Brewer knows playing
isn't a matter of life or death.
That's a lesson he spent six years
learning.
"I think [spending time in
Third World countries] opens
your eyes and makes you appre-
ciate things a lot more," he said.
"That's what made me a better
person, understanding what t
takes to be successful in life and
what's important.
"I want kids to say, 'Hey I
want to be like Cam Brewer.'
Never say your dream can never
be done.
"You're never too old, and
you're never [too slow] to follow#
your dreams."

Injuries call
for white lies

Meyer said about Leak. "Not that I keep
things from you, but I kept something
from you because I didn't want the op-
ponent to know."
That's fine. Nothing wrong with
that. Had Mississippi State known
about Leak's shoulder, they probably
would've tried to hit it like a pifiata.
That could've led to further injury,
so it's understandable. I don't know if
it'll be better by this weekend or not,
since getting accurate information on
Leak's shoulder
is like looking for
the Fountain of
Youth.
After the.
game, Meyer said

"That was a whole different deal,"
Leak explained, saying it was just
'B bruised.
The coach says one thing, the player
another. So who knows what's really
wrong with it?
Whatever the injury is, Louisiana
State defenders are going to go after
the bull's-eye that is Leak's shoulder,
so maybe Meyer should've continued
keeping it quiet, which would've been
fine by me.
I have no problem with any college
coach not releasing injury information
to the media. In the NFL, coaches must
disclose injuries, but Meyer doesn't have
to, so why would he?
With Cornelius, it was an entirely dif-
ferent situation. Here is the timeline of
Meyer's comments regarding Cornelius'
ankle:
Last Monday: "Jemalle Cornelius
should be fine. Limited today, but
should be able to go."
Wednesday: "Jemalle is still sore, but
we're counting on him going."
Thursday: "He's sore."

UF sports new look without Big Three
. THE GATORS MUST CHANGE THEIR STYLE OF
PLAY TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LOSS OF LEE,
WALSH AND ROBERSON.
By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer
The Big Three is down to the Big Zero.
For the past two years, the Gators have been defined by
the trio of David Lee, Matt Walsh and Anthony Roberson.
Whichever way they went, the team often followed.
Last season, the trio led UF to its first Southeastern
Conference Tournament title, but also another opening- .
weekend loss in the NCAA Tournament, a 76-65 defeat at
the hands of Villanova.
Now, with Lee in New York, Walsh in Miami with
Shaq and Roberson fighting for a roster spot in Memphis
with ex-Gator Mike Miller, it's a whole new ball game for
UF.
While many think the Gators will struggle this year
because of the loss, don't try telling that to the players still
sporting orange and blue.
"Personally, I think we'll be pretty good," junior
forward Chris Richard said. "I think we're a defensive, .
stopping team, I think we'll score more points than a lot
of people think that we will, but I mean I think we'll be
pretty good."
The Gators return just 41 percent of last year's of-
fense, and the leading returning scorer, sophomore Corey
Brewer, averaged just 7.5 points per game.
UF will now rely on all of its players to produce offense
rather than leaning on their three departed stalwarts.
"I mean, we're going to have a different look because
we lost Peep, Matt and David, which was a lot of our
scoring last year," guard Taurean Green said. "But like
I said, as long as we create for each other and as long
as we're unselfish, we're not even going to worry about
scoring because scoring will be there."
Although Walsh and Roberson were particularly well
known for their clutch shooting, no such proven com-
modity exists for the Gators now. Alligator file photo

Arrest ends perfect off-field behavior
By BRYAN APP
and ANDREW ABRAMSON
Alligator Staff Writers
During Urban Meyer's 11-month tenure
in Gainesville, a previously troubled UF
team has impressed its disciplinarian coach
with a squeaky-clean off-field image.
That came to an end on Sunday.
Cornerback Dawayne Grace was arrest-
ed after fighting outside a nightclub early
Sunday morning, according to a Gainesville
Police report.
The report states that GPD officers spot-
ted Grace pushing somebody in the parking
lot of the club, located at 238 W. University
Ave. When officers told Grace to "break it

a punch at another individual, prompting
his arrest.
Grace was cited with disorderly conduct,

do something. I don't care," Meyer said. He
will not play for Florida until he figures it
out."
Meyer, a stickler for upstanding behav-
ior, had seemingly corrected the Gators' no-
toriety for off-field incidents under former
coach Ron Zook.
During Zook's tenure, former linebacker
Channing Crowder was twice arrested out-
side of nightclubs, while fellow linebacker
Taurean Charles was arrested after alleged-
ly throwing a beer keg at someone's head.
Zook himself even reportedly threatened
several fraternity members with whom UF
players had an argument last year.

By CHRISTOPHER HIATT Alligator Contributing Writer Sean Donovan, a 22-year-old electrical engineering senior, remembers his accident on a bicycle during the Fall of his freshman year. "I was riding in the bike lane on Museum Road, near Frat Row, when a truck tried to take a quick turn to avoid traffic and broadsided me," Donovan said. Dohovan broke his arm in the crash, and the incident was immediately reported to University Police. But most traffic incidents, including bicycle accidents, aren't reported to UPD, said officer Holly Thomas. This is one reason why UPD is hosting its bi-annual Traffic Awarerfess Week on campus. The series of events focuses its efforts on raising awareness of traffic safety and law among UF students. Police officials kicked off the week Monday morning by distributing "Headlight on Traffic," a safety newsletter designed to raise awareness among students. UPD will also host a free bicycle-safety class at 3 p.m. today in its community services classroom. While the class is geared toward those who have received a citation, officials are urging all students to attend. "This is really about trying to get the information out there," said UPD officer Darren Sanders. This week's activities are designed to raise awareness of the problems UF students face when combing cars, bikes and pedestrians in a congested area. It will also help students understand the law as it applies to them. "There are 20,000 bikes on campus each day, and they need to be aware that bicycles are treated like cars on campus," said UPD Capt. Jeff Holcomb. Running a stop sign or a stoplight on a bicycle results in a $118 fine. The bicycle-safety class is Public offered as an altemaaf0ty tive to paying the fine, Holcomb said. "It's kind of a get-out-of-jail-free card, but it's on a one-time basis," Holcomb said. Pedestrian and traffic safety is a long-standing issue at U. There were eight bicycle injuries, reported on campus in 2004, and four pedestrians were injured in traffic-related incidents. UPD hosts an awareness week on campus each semester. In the Spring, it targets Spring Break in order to promote alcohol awareness as well as traffic safety. Holcomb said this semester's events could not come at a better time. "Fall is even more important because you have so many freshmen who don't know the rules," he said. AROUND GAINESVILLE AmrhItecture grad students to design urban vI By JESSICA RIFFEL Alligator Writer jriffel@auigator.org UF architecture graduate students have been given the opportunity to design a student village around Southwest 20th Avenue. "We look for the involvement of our students in real life -situations sQ they can better understand the subject," UF School of Architecture Director Martha Kohen said. The chance arose after UF architecture professor Martin Gold received a $20,000 grant from the Alachua County Metropolitan Transportation Planning Organization to develop designs for the 20th Avenue area. Gold's graduate students will work on the design for a high density urban student village, which could include apartments, shops, restaurants and parks. "In this case, we are looking for an urban village,which is a-point of intensity in the urban world," Kohen said. She said the project should provide a walkable, environmentally healthy and social space. UF architecture students have been involved in city and county design in the past.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2005 U ALLIGATOR; 3 ON CAMPUS Students can get legaI information with their pizza By CHRISTINA SIMAK Alligator Writer csimak@alligator.org Would University Police be harsher on possession of a fake ID or marijuana? What happens if a student is caught drinking underage in a dorm? Can Party Patrol hold the host of a party responsible for incidents that occur there? Vhat happens if a driver refuses a sobriety test? Campus Diplomats will hold its Laws Over Lunch event on campus to answer these and more legal questions over pizza today on the Reitz Union Colonnade at 11:30 a.m. The presentation will feature speakers from UPD, Student Legal Services, Student Judicial Affairs and the Office of the Ombudsman"Most people come into school thinking they know their rights, but at a university, the rules are different," said junior Amanda Shapiro, chairwoman of the program. She said the program will open with a short presentation from each speaker, followed by questions from a moderator, then an open question-and-answer session. Moderator Dave Boneparth said students' most frequent questions concern underage drinking, DUIs, house and apartment leases, fake IDs, traffic tickets, campus safety and academic-honesty policies.

"Most students who are unhappy about their grades don't know that they can go to the ombudsman with a dispute," he said. "They don't know what happens when an officer comes to their home during a party or what their rights are." UPD spokesman Capt.

4, ALLIGATOR-U TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2005 uF recognized for environmental leadership By ALEXIS LLOYD Alligator Writer Though UF is a site of seemingly constant construction projects, the campus has not lost its natural beauty and continues to be a sanctuary for wildlife, earning it a sanctuary designation by a prestigious nature-conservation group. UF is the first university to become a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary by Audubon International, a not-for-profit environmental-education organization. "It was a very fulfilling 'experience," said Jan Weinbrecht, former UF biological scientist. "The campus set a standard nationwide." UF was given the designation for maintaining a high degree of environmental quality in five areas: environmental planning, wildlife habitat management, resource conservation, waste management, and outreach and education. According to the Audubon International Web site, certification is a way to recognize properties and people who are demonstrating environmental leadership through real, meaningful action. There are 607 certified sanctuaries worldwide including businesses, schools and golf courses in the United States, Australia, Canada, Central America, Europe and Southeast Asia. Audubon International also teamed "The campus set a nationwide former UF bi with UP to launch, the Sustainable Conunities Florida. The only other ur ticipate in this program is State University.

Garden honors una i victi s By ASHLEY ORTAGUS Alligator Contributing Writer Saiprassad Gunasegaran walks by The flowers every day after school and pictures the faces of the children who were lost. The butterfly garden near his UF Corry Village home was created shortly after the 2004 tsunami to remember and honor those who lost their lives in the disaster. Saiprassad, 13, said he particularly reflects on those who were affected in his home country of Malaysia. The 2004 Indian Ocean earth-' quake was one of the deadliest disasters in decades, and more than 150,000 people were killed off the coasts of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, South India, Thailand and other countries including Malaysia. Saiprassad said his aunt and uncle who live off the northem coast of Malaysia were affected by the tsunami. Although part of their land was damaged, they were fortunate enough not to lose their lives. "When I am standing in the butterfly garden, it's nice because it reminds me of the tsunami victims," Saiprassad said.

By TIM HUSSIN Alligator Writer Hovering over his artist's pad, Jimmie Williams sketches the image of a student's face in Turlington 'Plaza on Monday -a privilege that was previously revoked. AR it took to get it back was some persistence and the help of an anonymous student organization. After he was asked to leave campus by University Police on two occasions for selling portraits without a proper permit, a student organization offered to in-clude him under their permit so he could return. Williams, 30, of Lake Butler, has been trying to make his name as an artist known around Gainesville. "The whole goal is to become renowned, and I think I'm doing a good job of that," Williams said. He said the best way to get his name out is to do the drawings for free. "Sometimes you have to give something to get some-' thing," Williams said. In July, Williams was asked to leave campus for the first time. He charged about $5 for a portrait near his spot at the Hub, but now he does facial portraits for free. "I'm not a vendor," Williams said. "I'm just trying to market my name. I'm not trying to sell anything." The conflict on campus caused awareness of his situation. He said there was an upheaval from the students who saw what happened when he was kicked off campus about three weeks ago, and a student organization reached out to him. "'People saw what happened and offered to help me after they saw the injustice," he said. Although Williams was kicked off campus twice, he is back to demonstrate his persistence. "I think many times people limit themselves when they try and give up," Williams said. "That's something I want to help them overcome. That's what I'm doing here." Williams did not give up his goal of becoming an artist and now is appearing at Gator Nights on Oct. 21 from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. "Why would you quit on something you believe in?" Williams questioned. "Quitters never win, and winners never quit.", Jean-Victor Legros, Williams' partner Student who moved to L S Gainesville in 2000 from Haiti to attend SFCC, helps Williams with graphic design. He printed out pictures of Kanye West for Williams to draw and give to West when he comes to Gainesville on Oct. 13. Williams said he hopes this will boost his career by catching West's attention with the drawing. "He's got a lot of ambition," Legros said of Williams. "That's what you need to make it." Williams said he will not stop here but will take his name worldwide. "The beauty of the whole world is what I'm after now," Williams said. "America is beautiful, but it's just a very small part of the whole. My No. 1 goal is to touch as many lives as I can through my artwork." He said his next ambition is to take his work to Europe, the birthplace of original artists. "If I don't reach as many souls as I can, I'll leave the Earth unfulfilled," he said.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 5 NAIrNAL M!-misrs' nmornftination causes in-party division, doubt By OLIVIA ORMOS Alligator Contributing Writer Harriet Miers' qualifications to be a Supreme Court justice and her views on privacy rights will be the focus of her confirmation hearings, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter said Monday. Miers must show she can handle complicated legal issues and that she has not cut deals with the White House to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion, Specter, R-Pa., said Sunday on ABC's "This Week." President Bush's nomination of Miers, a longtime confidante and White House counsel but never a judge, has caused division among conservatives. A leader of the right said he will not be satisfied until it is clear whether she would vote to overturn the abortion ruling. A chorus of complaints and cheers from both liberals and conservatives echoed throughout campus since Bush's decision last week to appoint Miers to replace Ji Available from Commercial News Providers" Sandra Day O'Connor. Miers has worked on previous judicial nominations with many of the same senators who will now judge her candidacy. "I believe it is better to have a constitutional jurist on the Supreme Court, not to take away from her career in Texas where it is an old boys network, but there is a difference between practicing law and interpreting the Constitution," said Richard Conley, UF political science professor. Conley said there is legitimate criticism that Bush chose the White House counsel for the position and can see the appointment as a type of cronyism, or hidden power relationships. Conley said both Democrats and Republicans are nervous but for different reasons. Democrats could try to filibuster this case. Republicans hope Miers will be an ultra conservative. "Everyone knows that Counsel Miers has a good relationship with the president, and she is obviously someone he respects and trusts," College Republicans Chairwoman Ashlee Black said. "I don't think that our president would make a decision and not understand the importance of it." Black said she is extremely supportive of the president and proud. of his appointment. She hasn't heard 'contradictory views from the College Republicans. "I do not think that Roe versus Wade will be overturned anytime in the near future. I think this is a cry.that the Democrats are using to scare people," Black said. "Miers' religious background has nothing to do with her ability to be a good judge." Black said the College Republicans feel the president knew what; he was doing when he picked Miers. Approximately 10 to 15 percent of Americans want to do away with abortion altogether, and 50 to 65 percent feel that abortion should be legal with some restrictions, Conley said. "You can be an evangelical and you can be self-described pro-life," Gary Bauer, president of the American Values Coalition, said of Miers. "But it doesn't tell us what she will do about a decision like Roe that has been set in stone now for over 30 years. And that's the rub." "I do not think that Roe versus Wade will be overturned anytime in the near future. I think this is a cry that the Democrats are using to scare people." Ashlee Black College Republicans chairwoman Specter, noting that a justice has lifetime tenure, said, "If there are backroom assurances and if there are backroom deals and if there is something which bears upon a precondition as to how a nominee is going to vote, I think that's a matter that ought to be known." Specter and the Judiciary Committee's top Democrat, Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, are considering having James Dobson, founder of the social conservative group Focus on the Family, testify to the panel. Dobson has said he is confident that Miers opposes abortion, based on private assurances from the White House. Disputing that, Leahy said Miers assured him she had not made any promises on how she would vote on Roe. The Associated Press contributed to this report. GAINESVILLE FAMILY DENTISTRY William M.

6, ALLIGATOR E TUESDAY,,OCTOBER 11, 2005 Stain put Pulling troops out of Iraq is unreasonable A mericans are really getting on our nerves. Four years ago, all we heard was how the United States was going to free Iraqis, restore order to the world and overcome all evil. Now most of us seem disillusioned with the war. In fact, only 48 percent of those surveyed in a New York Times/CBS News poll thought the United States did the right thing by invading Iraq. A little late, don't you think? Or are these different Americans than the ones who supported this crazy mission in the first place? A majority of Americans supported going to war, and now a majority of Americans are against it. Turn on the television, and you'll see liberals insisting that the government bring our troops home. Apparently, these guys never received the most fundamental childhood lesson: Finish what you started. Or to-translate it to the current situation: Finish cleaning up the mess you made. We have a solution: Why don't all those who claim to care about our troops enlist? We don't have nearly enough soldiers to control the chaos. More troops would ni-ean more stability and less danger. Unfortunately, not many people want to enlist when a war is going on. Instead, we send a few out to do our dirty work, and then we cry foul when it doesn't go as planned. None of the Editorial Board believes the United States should have invaded Iraq in the first place. We were against it then, and we are against it now. But we cannot fix our nation's past mistakes by abandoning a country whose course we have already changed. Their blood is now on our hands, and we have to clean it up. And no, we're not saying people weren't dying before. People are dying all over the world, and we can't save everyone. However, the minute we declare war on a government, we have to follow through. To do otherwise would be irresponsible and irreparable. Our goal should be to stabilize the region, not to run away from the disaster. We just hope our military doesn't sneak away when the national interest is exhausted. Our country has a habit of dipping its finger into international politics, stirring the pot and watching the resulting chaos from afar. Our meddling with Panama at the beginning of the 20th century resulted in the country seceding from Colombia and installing its own president. We helped rebels create a government that became unstable and corrupt. And then we invaded it in the 1980s. After we fiddled with domestic conflicts in Vietnam and helped spread the war to surrounding countries, we suddenly left when enthusiasm faded. And we slyly helped an Iranian monarch get back into power in the 1950s after he was ousted from the country. He clearly wasn't welcome; the Iranian revolution finally succeeded in getting rid of him more than 20 years later. America can't be blamed for the political upheavals and the atrocities that happen in foreign nations, unless we have used our power and money to tip the scales. When we do that, we must realize our responsibilities to the citizens whose lives we've helped throw into new chaos. Otherwise, we're like a father who takes his child out of an inadequate school, drives to the middle of nowhere and deposits his offspring on the side of the road. It's wrong, it's irresponsible, and it will create exactly what we set out to eradicate: terrorists. 11the independent florida Mike Gimignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR Emily Yehle OPINIONS EDITOR -Tom Durrenberger, Scott Gilton, Andrew Meyer EDITORIAL BOARD The Alligator n oCOoIoage coomentsofrom readets.

ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/opinions Politc thet,,nd nerdIpc ions and tigers and politicians -oh my. The Sept. 29 vote to slaughter sections of the 1973 Endangered Species Act has members of both parties roaring. If it passes the Senate, our government Will have signed death warrants for 1,268 endangered plants and animals protected under the act. One of the most glaring problems with this bill is that it eliminates the "critical habitat" for endangered or threatened species. Under the current act, when an endangered species is found, the surrounding area becomes protected. Building on the land would have the owner in the lion's den. But the modification eliminates critical habitat entirely. So it's still illegal to shoot a species, but you can take away its habitat without question. Hasn't America leaked thatmessing with Mother Nature usually doesn't work to its favor? Have years of hurricanes, tornados, wildfires and earthquakes taught us nothing of the potential destruction an upset in nature can cause? For those still not making the connection between extinction and its adverse effects on the balanced ecological harmony in nature, Scotty Johnson of Defenders of Wildlife put it best: "What is a fish without a river? What is a bear without woods?" The answer? Dead. The bill eliminates the creatures' habitats but adds a requirement for the government to come up with a "recovery plan" for relocating species within two years. Right. One look at the government's track record for planning in a timely fashion shows it works slower than a three-toed sloth. Moreover, even if the government does invent some kind of recovery plan, the land still isn't protected from federal action. Sound fishy? It gets worse. The bill would also repeal restrictions on pesticides that are illegal due to the hazard they pose to endangered species. Amy Furthermore, federal agencies could Elsinger avoid consultation with environmenTalking Liberally tal specialists when building. Ietters@aIligator.org Oddly enough, none of these changes caused much outrage in the House. Instead, the most heated controversy stems from a provision about taxes. Taxpayers would compensate landowners whose building plans are quashed because of the development's potential harm to an endangered species. And this compensation has no set limit. The government would be paying landowners to simply comply with the law. Aside from unnecessary, I'm wondering if this is even legal. What's more, skinning the act to its raw carcass favors property owners far more than the very animals it should be protecting. Giving money to landowners becomes a financial disaster for taxpayers, and eradicating critical habitats is an environmental time bomb. In bills such as this, we can usually depend on the Senate to fix the grave oversights of the House. But with the Threatened and Endangered Species Recovery Act, there's nothing worth salvaging. How can anyone think that repealing 150 million acres of critical habitat would do any good for wildlife? Passing this bill would once again be a money-fueled decision based on personal agendas. It's a quick fix to a much more complicated problem: overpopulation in America's suburbia. Instead of working against the environment we live in, why don't we try to work around nature and endangered species? After all, they were the property owners first.

According to a Pew Center report from this month, 65 percent of Americans are against overturning Roe v. Wade, while a plurality of Americans feel that abortion should be "generally available." The question of when life starts is still one that is up for grabs, although people who are against abortion would have you believe that conception starts when you look a person of the opposite sex squarely in the eyes with romantic intentions. This fundamental issue has yet to be resolved to the comfort of both parties in this case, but prolifers still espouse the view that a tiny organism without the capability to breathe on its own or make its own decisions could take the stand in a hearing deciding the right to life. Secondly, this "harsh truth" hardly qualifies as "genocide." The Anerican Heritage'Dictionary of the English Language defines genocide as "the systematic and planned extermination of an entire national, racial, political or ethnic group." Unless Josh Gellers unbom fetuses start a lobSpeaking Out byinggroupin Washington. I am not ready to commit to the fantasy that abortion constitutes genocide. To even imply so would be to show a lack of respect for those who have died at the hands of genocidal actions. Finally, I am going to go out on a limb and say that many pro-life advocates like Mr. Harrington probably prefer red over blue, Condoleezza over Hillary, and are most likely against big government and a welfare state. Therefore, I find it highly hypocritical for someone to talk about the millions of children we could have saved. Most likely, if they were all alive, you would be ranting about the terrible injustice that is the state of affairs regarding welfare in the United States since parents unable to afford a child would now have many kids without any potential alternative. Is bringing a child into a life of poverty not a crime in itself? I find it humorous that conservatives want to have their cake and eat it too. If you are anti-abortion, get ready to lobby your elected officials for increases in welfare spending. To do otherwise would be downright irresponsible. Josh Gellers is a UF senior and the eclitor-in-chief of UF International Review. Letter to the Editor Morals may have divine origin In Monday's guest column, Allison Pritchard said that nonreligious citizens are discriminated against and ostracized. To her and those in similar situations, I am sorry. That should not be the response of the Christian community. As a young woman with a very real and personal faith in Jesus Christ, I would ask her to also not forget that the persecution of Christians and Jews "in earlier times" has not ceased. The battleground and war tactics -especially in the United States -have just changed. She also wrote that atheists or agnostics can have moral values. And I agree with her. However, I believe that the root of the issue lies much deeper than that. Most of us are aware of the need for some kind of agreement on morality. In truth, there is a core of moral constraints underlying human civilization. So the question begs to be-asked: Where do these moral values come from? Take the idea of selfishness, for example. Although various cultures have differed on whom to be unselfish with -one's family, friends, nation, etc. -most people have always agreed that, at some point, selfishness is morally wrong and that ideas of goodness, compassion and understanding are ethically upright. Why? Reason and study have led me to assert that these moral values have been put into the very core of our being by an "intelligent designer." I must agree with Allison once more. Adherence to this overarching term of "religion" is not a necessity for moral standards. However, I hope those sincerely investigating truth will not grow complacent in their search and instead honestly consider the belief that a very personal God does, in fact, exist. -Tara Fox 4JM GRE GMAT LSAT.

14, ALLIGATOR N TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2005 UEPECK HOPES TO PROVE HERSELF AFTER SUB-PAR SEASON. By NICK ZACCARDI Alligator Writer Carolyn Peck better watch her back. The UF women's basketball coach learned that on Saturday at the UF football game against Mississippi State, when she encotintered a critical Gators' fan sitting behind her. The fan uttered remarks about Urban Mleyer's Gators and their play against the Bulldogs. Peck stuck up for Meyer. "I turned around and I said, 'If you're a Gator, you're a Gator all the time,'" said Peck at the team's media day on Monday. "So you've got to stick with the Gators through thick and through thin." That same message could be the motto for uaturrs eagenr t0 to 'gu out with a the UF women's basketball team's 2005-06 "The transition season.

"Sarah Lowe has worked on her shot a lot in the off-season. Brittany Davis and Dalila Eshehave worked extremely hard on theirs. Having Danielle Santos back on the court will bring us back some offense as well." A top-10 recruiting class, the highestranked in school history, of six freshmen will aid UF's seven returning players. Peck wants them to contribute right away. "I demonstrated in my first year here with the group not to be afraid to put it on the floor and learn on the job," Peck said. "'That's what we're going to have to do with the six freshmen that we have this year. It's going to have to be on-the-job training." Leak to return to practice in preparation for LSU FOOTBALL,from page 16 Still, Meyer stopped short of saying Grace, who hasn't played this season, was suspended from the team. "I'm trying to get a team ready to play LSU," Meyer said. "He won't be on the trip [to Baton Rouge] or anything like that. I'v6 just got to find out more about it." LEAK TO RETURN: After mysteriously missing practice last week with a secret shoulder injury, UP quarterback Chris Leak sat out Monday's drills but will return on Tuesday Leak was replaced by true freshman Josh Portis in the first quarter of Saturday's 35-9 victory against FISH ER, from page 16 Saturday: "Jemalle couldn't have played. We knew that on Monday." Meyer's comments on Monday came before he knew the extent of the injury. He didn't say anything about it on Tuesday,. and on Thursday he didn't say either way if Cornelius would play On Wednesday, Meyer said Cornelius would probably play, then after the game he said he actually knew on Monday that Cornelius wasn't going to. M~ississippi State when Leak re-injured the shoulder. Leak woilclater return and throw a touchdown as well as an interception. While Meyer said he's concerned about the injury, offensive coordinator Dan Mullen said he is less worried, adding that Leak should be at 100 percent when the Gators face LSU on Saturday CHAMPIONS: Meyer announced the list of inductees into his Champions Club on Monday. Highligh' g the list were Southeastern Conference Defensive Lineman of the Week Jeremy Mincey and junior receiver Dallas Baker, who finished with a personal-best 123 receiving yards against Mississippi State on Saturday. -That, by definition, is a lie. This is a fact -not my opinion. That is the only problem I have with any of this. However, it shouldn't be that big a deal. Did Meyer lie? Yes. But coaches lie all the time. It's nothing we aren't used to in sports. Every time a coach is asked if he is going to leave his school, the answer is always, "No, I'm happy here." Even Meyer said something to that effect. Every coach would've done the same thing in both situations, so Meyer shouldn't be singled out. Yes, they're lies, but they're necessary lies, like this one was. He said Monday that his obligations are to the safety of his players and the production of his team. Not telling the media about injures accomplishes both of those, so Meyer is acting in his best interest. Meyer could've handled Cornelius' injury differently, just saying he wouldn't comment on it Wednesday, but what's done is done. Meyer released more injury information Monday, but we don't know what is true. All I know is that Meyer doesn't have to tell us about players' injuries. That's no lie.

"Teams like to key-in and focus on one player, like 'Ok, if they need a bucket they're going to go to this player,"' Green said. "We want it to be all five players on the court is a threat to score, and instead of just having one person, a team won't kn-ow who's going to shoot it or who's going to score for you, that's how we want it to be." Sophomore Al Horford blocked 51 shots last year, the most by a UF player since Andrew DeClerq in 1993-94. He will join Brewer, who averaged 1.4 steals last year, as an anchor of a defense that held eight of its last nine opponents under 70 points m the 2004-05 season. Last season's Gators finished third in Horford the SEC in points per game allowed with 63.1, which was in sharp contrast to their 11th-place finish in the same category a year earlier. Richard feels like the attitude that allowed UP to develop a reputation has more than carried over to this team. "Everybody is eager to play defense this year," Richard said. "Everybody wants to get stops, everybody wants to press, everybody wants to do all that stuff, there's a lot of pride on defense." bang' this season

They career at 25 look at the Marines as some hard-nosed stuff you can't make it through," Baker said. "I asked him about it and he said if he had the chance he'd do it again. He said it was one of the best experiences he ever had." Brewer quickly became a popular figure in the locker room, and "those" questions, as Brewer remembers them, kept popping up: A. Did you serve in Iraq? B. Did you shoot anybody? C. Did you blow up stuff? No, Brewer didn't serve in Iraq. Instead, the Marines had other plans for him long before war broke out. Brewer was placed on Embassy duty in Italy and India. If an important figure, such as the United States president or secretary of state arrived, he would work in conjunction with 'the Secret Service and, at times, guard the entire area of a hotel. Although Brewer finished first in his class at Embassy school and his job was not simple to obtain, he admits it was difficult not to ittle bit." serve in Iraq. "A lot of people consider it fortunate, I guess, but all of us wanted to be in Iraq," Brewer said. "We were doing just as an important job, protecting the Embassy. "You join because you've got to serve your country and fight' for your country and when the war came up of course I was like 'Well shoot, I want to be there with everyone else, doing my part.' But all along, the life-long Gators fan prepared for his next career as a 25-year-,old freshman on the UF football team. The grueling Marines regimen kept him in perfect shape, while he managed to play a little football here and there. Brewer doubts'he could have succeeded at UF as an 18-yearold, but it's no secret the Marines can make a boy mature quickly. "We 'train so hard to be the best, and it's the same thing here at Florida football," Brewer said. "You train so hard to be the best, and that's why the Marine Corps really did give me that extra little edge I needed to be successful." Preparing to play These days, players like Baker, who have spent their entire lives thinking. about football, video games and little else, truly -see Brewer as an inspirational figure. "We were complaining about how hot it was during two-adays, and he said it was a. lot worse in India," Baker said. "He After a 6-year stint in the Marines, freshman Cam Brewer is ready to serve Gator Nation. The 25-year-old walk-on hopes to fulfill his lifX long dream of playing for the Gators on Saturdays. saw all these poor people [suffering] in the heat, but they weren't complaining." That's behind Brewer for now, and on Sept. 3, a lifelong dream finally became a reality. Brewer received the opportunity to dress for UF's season opener against Wyoming. It was sentimental to his entire family for so many reasons. Brewer spent much of his childhood breathing Gators football .with his father Tom, who passed away when Cam was 13. "Just seeing him run out of tunnel in that first game [was amazing]," Brewer's mother Melanie Wise said. "His uncle and aunt were there and .all of us were wishing his dad could be there to see Cam run out of the tunnel. "Even if he doesn't get to play, he made it." But there's still that final issue. At 25, Brewer's grateful to be in this position, but he truly came to UF to make some sort of a difference on the field. "He's a high-character human being that everybody cares about, but it's hard to be a leader until he starts getting on the field," Meyer said. "I'm going to try to get him on the field a little bit." Added Meyer-with a smile, "I wish he wias about four inches taller and about three steps faster." After spending six years in the Marines, Brewer believes he can do more than just scrimmage against UF's thirdand fourthstring defenses. "I think I can really do something that will contribute to the team," Brewer said. "Whether it's one thing I do, one play in a season -hey, that's one thing I did for the team." But Brewer knows playing isn't a matter of life or death. That's a lesson he spent six years learning. "I think [spending time in Third World countries] opens your eyes and makes you appreciate things a lot more," he said. "That's what made me h better person, understanding what A~ takes to be successful in life and what's important. "I want kids to say, 'Hey I want to be like Cam Brewer' Never say your dream can never be done. "You're never too old, and you're never [too slow] to folloy your dreams."

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2005 ALLIGATOR .www.alligatorSports.org Injuries call for white lies Coach Urban Meyer revealed after Saturday's game that Chris Leak hadn't practiced all week with a shoulder injury and that he knew Jemalle Cornelius wasn't going to play. "I didn't want this out in the media," Meyer said about Leak. "Not that I keep things from you, but I kept something from you because I didn't want the opponent to know." That's fine. Nothing wrong with that. Had Mississippi State known about Leak's shoulder, they probably would've tried to hit it like a pinata. That could've led to further injury, so it's understandable. I don't know if it'll be better by this weekend or not, since getting accurate information on Leak's shoulder is like looking for the Fountain of Youth. After the game, Meyer said Ian Fisher it was injured all the way back Extra lannings in last season's ifisher@alligator.org game against Florida State and was aggravated against Alabama. Leak wasn't in on the message. "That was a whole different deal," Leak explained, saying it was just bruised. The coach says one thing, the player another. -So who knows what's really wrong with it? Whatever the injury is, Louisiana State defenders are going to go after the bull's-eye that is Leak's shoulder, so maybe Meyer should've continued keeping it quiet, which would've been fine byrne. I have no problem with any college coach not releasing injury information to the media. In the NFL, coaches must disclose injuries, but Meyer doesn't have to, so why would he? With Cornelius, it was an entirely different situation. Here is the timeline of Meyer's comments regarding Cornelius' ankle: Last Monday: "Jemalle Cornelius should be fine. Limited today, but should be able to go." Wednesday: "Jemalle is still sore, but we're counting on him going." Thursday: "He's sore." SEE, FISHER, PAGE 14 UF sports new look without BigThree N THE GATORS MUST CHANGE THEIR STYLE OF PLAY TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LOSS OF LEE, WALSH AND ROBERSON. By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer The Big Three is down to the Big Zero. For the past two years, the Gators have been defined by the trio of David Lee, Matt Walsh and Anthony Roberson. Whichever way they went, the team often followed. Last season, the trio led UF to its first Southeastern Conference Tournament title, but also another openingweekend loss in the NCAA Tournament, a 76-65 defeat at the hands of Villanova. Now, with Lee in New York, Walsh in Miami with Shaq and Roberson fighting for a roster spot in Memphis with ex-Gator Mike Miller, it's a whole new ball game for UF. While many think the Gators will struggle this year because of the loss, don't try telling that to the players still sporting orange and blue. "Personally, I think we'll be pretty good," junior forward Chris Richard said. "I think we're a defensive, stopping team, I think we'll score more points than a lot of people think that we will, but I mean I think we'll be pretty good." The Gators return just 41 percent of last year's offense, and the leading returning scorer, sophomore Corey Brewer, averaged just 7.5 points per game. UF will now rely on all of its players to produce offense rather than leaning on their three departed stalwarts. "I mean, we're going to have a different look because we lost Peep, Matt and David, which was a lot of our scoring last year," guard Taurean Green said. "But like I said, as long as we create for each other and as long as we're unselfish, we're not even going to worry about scoring because scoring will be there." Although Walsh and Roberson were particularly well known for their clutch shooting, no such proven commodity exists for the Gators now. Alligator file photo UF point guard Taurean Green will try to orchestrate a defensiveBy BRYAN APP and ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff Writers During Urban Meyer's 11-month tenure in Gainesville, a previously troubled UF team has impressed its disciplinarian coach with a squeaky-clean off-field image. That came to an end on Sunday. Cornerback Dawayne Grace was arrested after fighting outside a nightclub early Sunday morning, according to a Gainesville Police report. The report states that GPD officers spotted Grace pushing somebody in the parking lot of the club, located at 238 W. University Ave. When officers told Grace to "break it "[Grace's] making a statement that he didn't do something. I don't care. He will not play for Florida until he figures it out." Urban Meyer UF football coach up and move on," Grace allegedly threw a punch at another individual, prompting his arrest. Grace was cited with disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor charge. Meyer said the reserve defensive back will not play until the matter is resolved. "He's making a statement that he didn't do something. I don't care," Meyer said. He will not play for Florida until he figures it out." Meyer, a stickler for upstanding behavior, had seemingly corrected the Gators' notoriety for off-field incidents under former coach Ron Zook. During Zook's tenure, former linebacker Channing Crowder was twice arrested outside of nightclubs, while fellow linebacker Taurean Charles was arrested after allegedly throwing a beer keg at someone's head. Zook himself even reported threatened several fraternity members with whom UF players had an argument last year.
