Kanye West performs tonight
* O'DOME WILL HONOR
REQUEST FOR ALCOHOL.
By STEPHEN MAGRUDER
Alligator Writer
smagruder@alligator.org
Rapper Kanye West and UF
have at least one thing in com-
mon: They say no to Coke.
West, scheduled to perform at
the Stephen C. O'Connell Center
tonight at 7:30, is sponsored by
Pepsi and has requested that no
Coke products be placed in his
dressing room.
West's rider, the list of needs
and amenities requested by per-
formers, details how everything
is to be set up for the show, both
onstage and behind the scenes.
The rider includes stage
equipment specifications, se-
curity personnel and a detailed
catering menu covering three
full meals, three dressing rooms
and a bus full of people.
O'Connell Center Director
Lionel Dubay signed the contract
with Fantasma Productions, the
booking agency responsible for
bringing West's "Touch the Sky"
tour to Gainesville.
On Dubay agreed to
CampUS pay West $115,000
to perform, along
with special guests Common,
Fantasia and Keyshia Cole.
West's orchestra will be paid
an additional $5,000.
To hold the concert, Fantasma
Productions agreed to take out
$1 million in insurance and pay
UF $2,300 for the first four hours
of the O'Connell Center's use.
Security arrangements in-
dude 40 security officers, 11
University Police officers and
five or six parking patrollers.
Reminiscent of Snoop Dogg's
February concert rider, West re-
quested wildly varied items for
his dressing room: three tubes

Local fossil diggers unearth past
.: Alligator Contributing Writer
Kristin Nichols/ Alligator
Volunteer Phyllis Saarinen digs through a layer of clay Wednesday
morning at UF's.Tapir Challenge site.
Volunteers working alongside museum employees
hope to break a world record after discovering remains of
mammals more than 2 million years old Tuesday, as they
kicked off a fossil dig lasting until December.
The Tapir Challenge, a major fossil excavation run by
the Division of Vertebrate Paleontology of the Florida
Museum of Natural History, gives volunteer fossil diggers
the chance to help excavate a 40-yard by 40-yard site at a
limestone mine in northeast Newberry, the town just west
of Gainesville.
"It's likely that we will find over 100 individual skel-
etons," said Richard Hulbert, vertebrate paleontology
collections manager for the museum. "No fossil site in the
world has ever been like that."
The Tapir Challenge got its name by the high number of
tapirs hoofed, plant-eating mammals distantly related
to horses and rhinos that have been, and will be, exca-
vated from the site.
"We're trying to see who can set the world record for
who can find the most tapirs at one site," Hulbert said.
Along with tapirs, Hulbert said specimens of porcu-
pines, giant armadillos, giant ground sloths, fish, frogs,
snakes, birds and elephant-like fossils would be extracted.
"A number of these specimens are the best of the spe-
cies that we have ever found worldwide," Hulbert said.
The site of the excavation is more than 2 million years
old, Hulbert said. The site is dated by comparing fossils
found within the site to other dated fossils from other ex-
cavation sites around the country.
"Presently, we are in the bed of a lake," Hulbert said.
"We are in the middle of something like Lake Alice."
Employees of the museum have been working since
May on the site named Haile 7G. The volunteer-assisted
portion of the excavation will continue to mid-December.
"We tend to concentrate our volunteers in the two dry
seasons, spring and fall," Hulbert said. "The worst things
are rain-outs."

Alumnus
to receive
SG honor
By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org
UF lost a son earlier this year
whose work continues to touch the
lives of today's students.
Howard Christopher Tompkins II,
who served as Student Body president
10 years ago, lost a 10-month battle
with leukemia April 30. He was 34.
As one who helped bring the
Southwest- Recreation Center to
campus, Chris will be honored when
Student Government names the SG
conference room.after him at 2:30 p.m.
Friday.
After majoring
Ain political science
at UF, Chris at-
tended the Levin
College of Law and
worked as a lawyer
for environmental
cases.
Tompkins Chris, known as
"Spud" to friends,
served as Student Body president,
treasurer, Senate president and budget
committee chairman during his nearly
eight-year stay at UF. During his time,
he also brought a discounted SG copy
center to students.
His mother, Elizabeth "Betty Jo"
Tompkins, a UF alumna, was in a car
wreck while pregnant with Chris on
May 7, 1970, causing Chris to be born
five weeks early
"Friends always teased him that
that was the [only] time he was early
in his life," Betty Jo said.
When he won the 1994-95 SG elec-
tion for Student Body president, there
were seven candidates for the posi-
tion; Tompkins received 69 percent of
the vote.
Senate secretary Glenda Frederick
said he never stopped working.

Gator dubbed 'cleanest comic'
* BRANDON BROOKS WILL
STAR IN A NATIONAL TV COM-
MERCIAL FOR OLD SPICE.
By HEATHER RAPP
Alligator Contributing Writer
Witnesses reported a man being
chased around by film crews at the
Swamp wearing only a white bath-
robe and swim trunks Saturday.
It might sound like a bad prank,
but for 19-year-old Brandon Brooks,
it was all because of his newfound
celebrity status.
Brooks was one of 17 college
students frorr across the country
chosen to star in his own national
television commercial for Old Spice
body wash.
America's Cleanest Comic
Competition judges held audi-
tions Oct. 6 on the Reitz Union
Colonnade.
Contestants had to tell their favor-
ite joke with one catch: As the name
suggests, it had to be clean.
Standing in front of the camera,
Brooks spontaneously recalled a joke
he'd heard a long time ago but said
he wants to keep the joke confiden-
tial until the commercial airs.
"It was about a golfer. I'll tell you
that much," he said.
A grin crept across his face as he
recalled the audition.
"It also included me just acting
silly in front of the camera," he said.
-r
The sophomore's joke was a hit,
and the punchline landed him a spot
in a national commercial for High
Endurance Body Wash by Old Spice.
Film crews flew to Gainesville
from Chicago on Friday for the film-
ing, which took five and a half hours.
Cameramen followed the robe-clad
Brooks as he interacted with crowds
at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium during
the Homecoming game Saturday.
Other parts of the commercial were
filmed at the Stephen C. O'Connell
Center.
Student "It was all just fun and
Life games to me," Brooks
said. "It wasn't anything
too challenging."
The commercial' will air nation-
ally at least six times during college
football games on ABC and ESPN.
Brooks said he will make his debut
Saturday.
But the contest doesn't end there.
Viewers are invited to visit
www.OldSpice.com and vote for
who they think is America's cleanest
comic; the winner will receive an all-
inclusive vacation to Las Vegas.
"It's kind of an 'American Idol'-
type deal," he said.
But Brooks said he is just enjoying
his 15 minutes of fame.
"Not everybody gets to have this
experience, and I thank God that I
did," he said.
Being the center of attention and
in front of the camera is nothing new
for the South Carolina native.
"All my life, you know when I
was a little kid, I used to be the class
clown," Brooks said.
While this was his first national
television commercial, he appeared
in several local commercials when
he was 15.
He was cast as an extra in the
show "Dawson's Creek" when he
was 16, and he returned in another
episode to deliver a one-liner.
Brooks was a local star by 17
when he appeared in "Keep it Real,"
a documentary film educating school
children about the dangers of drunk-
en driving and drugs.
But resumes can be deceiving.
This microbiology and cell science
major has his heart set on medical
school.
"Just seeing some of the things
people go through these days, I can't
see myself being anything but a doc-
tor," he said.
The comedy might end there, but
his philanthropy goesfurther.
"Then if I became an actor, if I got
paid a lot of money, I want to help
donate that to some other funds,
too," he said.
In his mind, both paths lead to the
same goal.
"I like putting smiles on people's
faces," he said.

Singer on Turlington Plaza carries tune for positivity
By DAPHNE CHARLES As for how the general popula-
Alligator Contributing Writer tion has responded to him, Welge

College of Education student Lew Welge sings and plays his guitar outside Norman Hall on Wedn
morning.
"And we're rolling, rolling, roll-
ing down the river," he sings, pluck-
ing away at the guitar in his arms.
This isn't a concert; this is
Turlington Plaza.
Lew Andrew Welge, a student in
the College of Education counselor
education program, can be found
singing and playing his guitar on
the plaza throughout the semester.
At 8:15 Wednesday morning, he
serenaded students on their way
to class with his rendition of Tina
Turner's "Proud Mary."
"Life's a dance, and we're al-
ways representing, so here's a guy
representing performance art, if you
will," Welge said of himself.
He is 50 years young, he said,
and it is his outlook on life that
keeps his spirits high.
The first day he sang and played
his guitar on the plaza last August, a
policeman asked him to stop singing
so he could check his identification.
"He interrupted my song, 'City
alligator of New Orleans,'" he said.
esday After showing the officer his
Gator 1 Card, Welge said he has not
been approached since.
ing measured on a scale from one
to 100.
"One would be first eye contact,"
he said. "Then you have holding
hands. Where would that be? 15?
20?"
Society. has taught us to repress
the "togetherness force we strive
for," he said.
Perhaps, he said, that's why
some people choose not to respond
to his performances.
"Everyone wants to keep a low
profile," he said. "I can't, because
I'm 6 (foot) 8."
Despite these tendencies brought
on by society, Welge said he believes
his music has a positive effect.
"I get smiles all the time from
people," he said. "I love it."
Turlington Plaza and the Plaza
of the Americas are locations where
people are welcome to exercise
free speech, said Jenna' Kilcomons,
student manager of the Student
Activities Center.
"People can take a guitar out
there and sing or play," Kilcomons
said. "A little bit of everybody goes
out there."
Bottles of cognac, Hpnotiq, tequila on list of West's requirements

of Carmex lip balm, four pairs of men's large
white boxers, one bowl of salted pistachios

Common's dressing room will include
such items as a bowl of dried fruits, a hot-tea
set up, and one bottle each of Clos du Bois
Chardonnay, Belvedere vodka and Hpnotiq.
Unlike Snoop Dogg's contract, requests for
alcohol in West's rider were allowed because
the O'Dome is paying to bring the artist not
Student Government Productions.
SG is not allowed to use tuition-funded
Activity & Service fees to pay for alcohol.
Dubay said SGP's only involvement in the
concert was paying to discount the first 2,000
tickets sold to students at the University Box
Office from $36 to $26.
_ The administration is bringing West de-,
spite his liberal use of a racially charged word
that university officials recently decried in
an e-mail to the entire student body. Student
groups including the Black Student Union also
protested its use.
"With a hip-hop show, you never
know."
Lionel Dubay
Stephen C. O'Connell Center director
O'Dome catering staff are expected to cook
for ,the artists and anywhere from 40 to 75
touring crew members. Menu choices include
mixed greens salads, chicken soft tacos, Chinese
stir fry and grilled steak, and all disposable flat-
ware and silverware are prohibited.
As of Tuesday morning, ticket sales reached
an estimated 4,800 the largest advance sale
for any of West's Florida performances, Dubay
said. The figure is out of a venue capacity of
12,000, according to the O'Dome Web site,
though seats behind the stage are blocked off.
He said the demand for tickets at UF rivals
past concerts, including Shoop Dogg's.
"For hip-hop shows, I think he's doing
exceptionally well," Dubay said.
The concert, including breaks between art-
ists, is expected to last until 11 p.m.
Walk-up sales for most concerts generally
number in the hundreds.
But, "with a hip-hop show, you never
know," he said.

Students collect
for quake victims
* CAR WASHES WILL
TAKE PLACE AT LOCAL
BURGER KING OUTLETS.
By DIANA MAZZELLA
Alligator Writer
dmazzella@alligator.org
Aisha Khan's relatives in
Pakistan have lost homes,
two have died and one is
missing after this week's
magnitude-7.6 earthquake in
the region.
The Pakistani Student
Association at UF, of which
Khan is president, and other
campus groups will begin
collecting donations for those
affected as early as today.
In addition to campus col-
lections to take place at the
Reitz Union, car washes will
be held Sunday and Oct. 23 at
Burger King on Archer Road
and Oct. 30 at Burger King
near Newberry Road, said
Maria Rehman, the group's
Webmaster.
Each car wash will be held
from noon to 6 p.m.
Khan said about 95 percent
of students in the group have
relatives in Pakistan, though
Rehman noted that most hail
from areas of the country not
affected by the earthquake.
"All my friends in
Islamabad ... they're doing
OK, thank God," Khan said.
Rehman said she and her
cousins, including Khan,
were going to tour the area
of Azad Kashmir in Pakistan
and its cities this summer af-
ter she graduated.
"Most of [the cities] are
completely destroyed," she
said.
Money raised will go to.
Zindagi Trust, a Pakistani-run
organization that is sending
100 percent of the money re-
ceived for earthquake relief to
the affected areas, she said.
The trust
Student appealed to
Activism Khan and
her executive
board because it is sending
aid to rural areas, she said.
The organization has set
up medical and relief camps
in Balakot and Abbottabad in
the northern part of the coun-
try, according to its Web site.
A dinner and fundraiser
will be held Saturday at 7
p.m. at the Hoda Center in
Gainesville, Khan said.
Student Government and
the South Asian American
Student Alliance will host
a vigil Wednesday at 7:
30 p.m. in the Reitz Uniorn
Amphitheatre, where attend-
ees ,can also donate, Rehman
said.
She encouraged people to*
assist those affected by the
earthquake in Pakistan be-
cause it could be them.
She asked people to imag-
ine they are the ones trapped
under rubble for 72 hours and
suffocating.
"A lot of people on cam-
pus ... I talked to them and
they didn't even know there
was an earthquake," Rehman
said.
Volunteers of all ages assist with dig
FOSSIL, from page 1
After the bones are reconstructed, they are
given a permanent catalog number that will go
into a database at the museum.
The museum's vertebrate collection exceeds
200,000 specimens, making it one of the largest in
the United States, Hulbert said.
Hulbert said the first 1 percent of the site that
had been excavated had produced eight individu-
al skeletons, including an ancient porcupine.
Most of the eight skeletons were found during
the summer months.
"That's when we talked to the mine managers,"
Hulbert said. "They were very generous, and will
allow for us to dig here for two or three years."
Hulbert said an agreement has been formed
between the paleontologists and the mine manag-
ers that once the fossils are excavated, they will
become sole property of the museum.
Hulbert said the dig doesn't ask much of the
volunteers, who work with small screwdrivers
and sometimes their bare hands, to remove the
clay and rocks around the fossils.
' "We literally' get volunteers ages 18 to 80,"
Hulbert said. "They just have to be fit enough to
work outside and sit or kneel in what can be awk-
ward positions."
Little physical strength is needed for the dig,
Hulbert said. The only thing needed is a lot of
patience.
If the volunteers find broken or fragile skele-
tons, the area of the fossil is covered in plaster and
burlap. It is then taken back to the lab at the mu-
seum, Hulbert said. There the
U F fossils are cleaned with water
Research and glued back together.
"We try to reconstruct the
skeletons," Hulbert said. "All the arm bones, leg
bones and toe bones go back together."
-The museum is in its sixth year of holding a
major fossil excavation.
"It's an unusual thing to do," said Bill Keeler,
a volunteer fossil digger in the excavation, as
he flicked tiny clumps of clay away from the
ground.
Keeler has participated in a number of the
museum's fossil excavations.
"To find something that's been sitting here for 2
million years is kind of amazing," Keeler said.

something, come hell or high wa-
ter," she said. "He came up with
more ideas -that SG could do than
anyone I've ever known."
SG Office Manager Sandy
Vernon said Chris was one-of-a-
kind with his chubby cheeks and
jolly nature.
"He always had that uplifting
spirit," she said. "He spoke to
everybody. He didn't look down
on people."
She said he had daily conver-
sations with Reitz Union janitors
and knew them by name.
Betty Jo said that even at his
funeral, she could see the numer-
ous lives her son touched.
She said friends from every
comer of the country, including
Canada, came to pay respects.
"Chris was the best friend in
the world," she said. "My son
wasn't perfect. He was just al-
ways the most incredibly giving
person you could imagine."
She said he would drive 200
miles for anyone. He used to
drive to Miami from his home-
town of Brandon to take his
grandma to the opera.
She said he had a reputation
for being brilliant too.
He was UF's first National
Truman Scholar, a National
Hispanic Scholar, a Florida Blue
Key member and Hillsborough
County's youngest elected of-
ficial as district supervisor for
the Soil and Water Conservation
board.
His busy schedule encour-
aged his messy lifestyle.
Frederick said she would
find dirty socks and open jars of
peanut butter throughout his SG
office.
Betty Jo said one morning
when she was driving Chris'to
elementary school, he had an
unusual sadness about him. He
said he was supposed to read a
book for a report and forgot to.
So, she gave him the typical pa-
rental lecture.
When she picked him up from
school, he still seemed sad. She
said she figured she knew why.
But she was wrong.
The teacher had praised him
in front of the class for his literary
expertise.
"I was so embarrassed be-
cause I had never read the book,"
he had said.
Ivy-league schools tried to re-
cruit him because of his awards,
but he rejected their offers.
"He just felt there was no bet-
ter school (than UF)," she said.
Chris was destined to be
a Gator: He attended his first
Gators football game at 3 months
old with a family full of Gators
alumni.
Political science teaching
assistant Charlie Grapski said
despite trying to impeach Chris
from his Student Body president
office 10 years ago, he has great
respect for him.
"Chris was one of the most
politically astute people I have
ever met, and I've learned a lot
from him," he said. "He wasn't a
follower. He was a true leader."

Editorial
Deadly force
Self-defense law is
necessarily vague
The Editorial Board is going to stand its ground.
Just don't try to break into the Alligator offices we
might shoot you with our vintage sawed-off shotgun.
Continuing with our conservative streak this week, we see
some benefits to the recently enacted law that redefines self-
defense.
That's right in principle, it's not all bad.
The most important, and most debated, change is that
residents and visitors of Florida are now allowed to "stand their
ground" when faced with "imminent" danger. Previously, the
accepted interpretation was a person should attempt a retreat
before succumbing to violence.
We're behind this distinction when applied to homes. If
someone breaks into your home, you are allowed to defend
your "castle."
Too often in our society, the benefit of the doubt is given to
the criminal.
Of course, those days of bored teenagers breaking into
a neighbor's house for a case of beer are effectively over.
Although we would hope such a prank wouldn't fall under a
reasonable cause for a homeowner to feel in danger of his life
and thus open fire with his AK-47.
We can't promise that it won't. But we can look at the law
and realize that, if judged fairly, such a situation would not
favor the owner.
We hate to see citizens take laws into their own hands, but
we would also hate for a victim to have to ponder the nuances
of a law in a dangerous situation.
The law also extends to a person's right to fight "force with
force" when attacked anywhere, and allows deadly force if that
person "reasonably" believes that it is necessary to save his or
her life.
There are a thousand different ways this could go awry for
both parties. But if we look at it from an individual perspective,
we realize that this is exactly the kind of right we would want if
we were put into such a compromising situation.
Basically, if we were dealing only with honest, sane citizens,
this law would be perfectly valid. Everyone should have the
right to defend his or her life.
Alternately, if we were dealing only with honest, sane courts,
this law would be acceptable.
Unfortunately, neither situation exists. Yet it's impossible to
write laws around the justice of courts.
A law on defense has to be vague, and the law was vague
before the gun-happy got to it. It was always based on whether
a person believes he's in danger because legislation can't be
specific to every case.
We want to keep our rights to protect ourselves, but we also
want to limit those who might unlawfully hurt us. The only
solution is a just court system, and that doesn't exist.
So the Editorial Board believes in the right to face danger
when it knocks on our door, but we're realistic in the downfalls
that come with it. We don't want a law that could allow a mur-
derer to go frpe, but we also don't want a law that boxes in our
choices in survival situations.
So rather than too vague, perhaps the law is not vague
enough. By specifying that every intruder into a home can be
considered a bodily threat, the law includes all types of unfore-
seeable situations.
If the homeowner has a gun and the intruder has nothing, is
it really fair for the former to kill the latter?
It depends on the situation, and that's for a court to decide.
And we are afraid of what side the court will take.
But when we lose faith in a court to uphold the rights of
citizens, we cannot blame it on the shortcomings of legisla-
tion.

SG election plays li
Unfairness in Student Governmment elections is not new.
Because the political system is a never-ending
saga of the same students, groups and Greek organi-
zations, it's a wonder we still have elections at all.
This is by no means an exhaustive list of election-time
improprieties, but rest assured I could fill the whole paper
with them.
FALL 2005: In addition to the complaints we discussed
Wednesday, the commission found Rawlings-area Gator
candidate William Perry guilty of destroying an Impact cam-
paign ad, after he grabbed it out of Impact candidate Victor
Bard's hands, and placing a paid political ad without notice.
His punishment. a reprimand and formal apology to Bard.
Bard, however, was fined $25 for campaigning door-
to-door. If anything, we would think violence would, take
precedence.
SPRING 2005: The Gator Party was found not guilty
after a widely circulated e-mail reported promises of posi-
tions in SG in exchange for Gator votes.
Before the election, the SG Supreme Court met in secret to
reject a petition that would allow students to vote via Internet
in future elections, claiming uncertainty over whether the pe-
titioners were asking for an initiative or a referendum.
Of course, the document used the word "initiative" four
times and never even mentioned a referendum.
That decision was eventually overturned because the
meeting violated open-meeting laws. In true SG fashion, it
was too late to resubmit the initiative for ballot placement.
SPRING 2002: We were actually supposed to have online
voting as early as this election, but a late-night ruling by the
Board of Masters declared the Internet ballot illegal.
SPRING 2001: Too many to mention, but here are two of
the juicier ones.
A member of Delta Delta Delta Sorority told her sisters
that the Fusion Party offered to put their names in a raffle for
a $15 Victoria's Secret gift certificate if they voted on the first
day of elections. The commission did not see this as serious.

ke a broken record
After Fuision Party presidential
candidate Marc Adler defeated SUN
Party candidate Gil Sanchez by only
17 votes, the Masters issued yet an-
other late-night order allowing the
Student Senate to validate the elec-
Mike Gimignani tionwithout a recount.
Editorial Notebook SPRING 2000: During an espe-
mgimignani@aligator.org cially heated election, the Impact
Party (then Greek-controlled) faced
complaints of releasing false infor-
mation against its opponents in the Florida Students Party.
In response to a defamatory e-mail that appeared on a
widely circulated listserv, the commission actually invali-
dated the election, only to be overturned by the Masters.
SPRING 1996: After the first SG election featured rela-
tively low turnout, commission-set polling places for the
runoff changed across campus. For instance, the Southwest
Recreation Center precinct was moved to the Levin College
of Law suspiciously dose to Fraternity Row.
SPRING 1995: The day before the election, fliers appeared
on campus, complete with phony police records alleging that
candidate Charles Grapski was a convicted child molester.
Grapski's complaints to the Elections Commission, stu-
dent courts and the UF administration were rejected, often
without a hearing or review.
Here's where the similarity stops: Instead of repeatedly
ramming himself against brick walls within the university,
he instead sued in circuit court and won.
We use the Grapski example often, but it is important
because he actually succeeded. That he had to take his argu-
ments outside UF to prevail is lamentable, but perhaps the
best evidence we have to show that the officials who decide
election issues are not impartial.
I hope this shows that we're not pulling our concerns out
of thin air.

Letters to the Editor
Cartoon mocks value of all life
In Wednesday's editorial car-
toon, Andy Marlette depicted a
ludicrous picture of Jesus looking
at "pro-lifers."
By mocking 'those who real-
ize the value of all human life,
Marlette is showing an incredible
weakness: the inability to show
respect for others. Similarly, those
who are supporters of the culture
of death also lack respect for the
unborn and for life in general.
Those who believe in a so-called
"woman's right to choose" clearly
are missing the point: Life begins
at conception, and it should never
be ended by human hands.
It's about time people realize
that making a choice does not jus-
tify murder. I applaud Anthony M.
Piferrer, author of a guest column
Wednesday. It is encouraging to
see that not everyone in college has
been brainwashed to believe that
killing the most innocent among
us is acceptable as long as it makes
their lives easier.

Psychoactive drugs prompt
positive experiences for some
Standing in the middle of a
roundabout in north Gainesville
is not a safe setting for anyone on
psychoactive drugs.
Obviously, Justin : Richards
didn't interview responsible users
when he wrote his Wednesday ar-
ticle on 2C drugs. Many who have
experimented with them report
positive and introspective trips.
Maybe this is because they used
the drugs in moderation and in a
comfortable setting.
People with anxiety or depres-
sion can easily freak out on psy-
choactives. But for others, tripping
can provide insight or a change
of perspective. After all, these
drugs, along with MDMA, were
originally developed to improve
patient-therapist relationships. -
Richards also failed to mention
some facts about 2C drugs. They
are analogues of mescaline, de-
rived from peyote. And the differ-
ence between 2C-B and 2C-I comes
from the addition of halogens to
their chemical structures. Bromine
is added to 2C-B and iodine is
added to 2C-I.
Last but not least, professor Paul
Doering's quotes about Alexander
Shulgin cast a dark shadow over
a brilliant chemist whose research
was, in fact, sponsored by the fed-
eral government.
If the effects are unknown, they
aren't necessarily harmful.

Rulings must be based on laws
Andrew Bare's Wednesday
guest column suggested that the
U.S. Constitution is "dated" and
cannot be applied to today's situ-
ations. What Bare ignored was that
the Constitution is a changing
document. It was changed in 1865
to outlaw slavery, in 1920 to allow
women to vote and as late as 1992
to limit congressional pay raises.
Justices must use some stan-
dard in judgment, either of the
law or not of the law. If rulings
are not based in law but personal
opinion or conviction, there is no
common standard, as everyone
has different beliefs. Without some
standard there is only tyranny,
however well-meaning it may be.
Justices who do not follow the
Constitution, as written and in-
tended, weaken the foundations of
our free society.
If Bare doesn't like the law, he
has an avenue to pursue change:
He can become more involved ini
his government. It's hard work,
but it's honest and fair.

Bible tells us that Jesus would
not advocate killing the unborn
I fully respect everyone's
right to free speech. Even Andy
Marlette's. If he chooses to exer-
cise his right by making fun of
Christians and their God, that is
his prerogative.
I do, however, advocate re-
searching topics before going to
print with your opinions. The
Bible is very clear that the only
reason one person should take
another person's life is if that per-
son has killed an innocent person.
According to the only historical
source that we have about Jesus,
he followed all of the laws put
forth by the Bible. It is clear by this
that he is not an advocate of killing
unborn children.
These fetuses have bodies just
like normal people with internal
organs and functioning life sys-
tems. They are not just masses
of tissue. Their life systems must
be suspended before they can be
eliminated.
Also, Jesus did not smoke.
Your body is a temple. Check your
sources!

Opinions section is getting old
Since the massive opinion
fire, sparked by Marlette's now
infamous cartoon, I have found
myself skipping to the center of
your newspaper. Whether right or
wrong, informed or uninformed,
we are all gleefully entitled to our
own opinion.
Perhaps it is my own very strong
convictions that so draw me to this
section. I have an opinion for every-
thing, and, of course, I am also right
about everything. Aren't we all?
However, to put matters plainly,
it's getting old. Nothing, and I
repeat nothing, is being accom-
plished. Well, nothing positive of
course. There has been plenty of
line-drawing, finger-pointing and
ever-increasing division. I am be-
ginning to think that the Alligator
staff spins a giant "issues wheel"
to decide what they can get UF stu-
dents to fight over next.

CURTAIN CALL
Dracula sucks at the Hipp on Friday
By GABRIELLA VIGIER
Avenue Writer
Don't have enough money for Universal Studios' Halloween
Horror Nights? You can do better for half the price.
This Friday, "Dracula" will make its debut at the Hippodrome
Theatre, and it will be a bloody good performance.
The show includes spouts of death, suspense-filled scenes, sex
and seduction even animal lust.
While the storyline of "Dracula" is familiar to most, the choice
of delivery that director Lauren Caldwell has chosen leaves eyes
wide open and satisfied.
"'Dracula' is the one that we turned upside-down," Caldwell
said.
Caldwell directed another vampire performance eight years
ago at the Hippodrome.
"We thought enough time had passed to bring it up again,"
she said.
Highly detailed scenery and interesting interpretations of cos-
tume add to the show's enjoyment.
The performance is approached as an old genre film and has
so much visual imagery. Performers in the play include grad stu-
dents and recent UF graduates.
Ryan Burbank, 25, a first-year student in the Masters of Fine
Arts Acting Program at UF, said theater is a good place to get your
scare on.
"I think people underestimate how much more scary things are
live," Burbank said.
But the live-effect isn't the only thing "Dracula" has going for
it.
The play is filled with so much detail that the audience may not
catch every single thing, but it will be worth seeing, said Garret
Bantom, a recent graduate of UF's MFA program.
"They may feel like they got it, but they may have to come
back," Bantom said.
Rachel Roberts, a 26-year-old UF alumna, said she agrees and
that every "Dracula" storyline can be told differently.
The actors, however, appreciate how Caldwell presented the
play.
She even had a way of hiding details that worked in the final
product.
"She almost kept it a secret until we were ready for them,"
Burbank said.
There are more interesting facts behind the scenes as well.
For instance, the actor playing the role of Count Dracula is
Robin Bloodworth, who says playing vampires runs in the family.
His father played a vampire back in the '80s.
Also, scenic designer Mihai Ciupe is originally from Romania,
which includes the region of Transylvania, the birthplace of
Dracula.
"As a theatrical story, it's quite a challenge," Ciupe said. "The

subject gives a lot of freedom."
Don't expect him to tell you about any encounters with vam--
pires though; he doesn't believe in them.
"Dracula" is not for the timid and definitely not for kids.
Going further on the sex and seduction, there are not just men
and women showing affection for each other.
The actors are excited to present the play at the Hippodrome
beginning this Friday.
"It's as sexy as it is bloody," Burbank said.

New, improved Tiger Woods game hits below par
If Tony the Tiger got sick and
Kellogg's had to put Electronic
Arts' new game "Tiger Woods
PGA Tour '06" on Frosted Flakes
instead, it could still put "They're
g-r-r-reat!" on the front, but the
back would read, "This s-s-s-
sucks!"
In every new or improved as-
pect of this year's installment to
the premiere golfing videogame,
there is a flaw to ruin it.
For example, the new "dual
analog" swinging adds more
complexity to what has always
been a too-simple recreation of a
complex game, but since players
will most often want to strike the
middle of their ball, no one will
ever use it.
And the: new courses are as
distinct and beautiful as any that
have graced a Tiger Woods game,
and yet some old favorites are no-
ticeably missing.
The biting commentary of past
games returns as mean as ever,
but mostly because so much of it
is the same. Tiger even talks now,
but all he says are short quips like
."Yes!" or "Come on!"
Most modified about this
version of the is its reinvented
putting system. Previously, the
game has always presented play-
ers with a caddy tip that simply
required them
to estimate
measurements
and shoot for ..
the right spot.
The new system
does the same
thing, only in a new, worse way.
Instead of a caddy tip, golfers
use a grid that covers the curves
of the green and highlights its
slope with moving dots. Anyone
dominating the Tiger Woods se-
ries in the past will find this sys-
tem inexact and frustrating, but
can master it with patience.
My disap-
Brett pointment
Kelman with this new
)on't Hate the Playa system is that,
theavenue@alligator.org in a game that
prides itself
on gorgeous
presentation, it transforms the
pristifie greens of Pebble Beach
into graph paper.
In addition to graphics de-
termining type of shot, club,
weather, terrain, "Gamebreaker"
and elevation, "Tiger Woods PGA
Tour '06" feels like you are aiming
with a targeting computer, not a
golf club.
On the whole, Electronic Arts'
"Tiger Woods PGA Tour '06" just
doesn't feel very polished. It's
like they took last year's model,
stripped its ,glossy coat, tinkered
with some parts and forgot to re-
finish with the glossy coat.
At best, some elements were
left alone, so the game still sports
its "GameFace" feature, snazzy
music and beautiful graphics.
Fires, stunts, vengeance make 'Ghost' comic hot
If you saw a guy with his skull on fire,
you'd probably give him your atten-
tion. If you see a comic book about a guy
with his skull on fire, you had better do the
same.
Especially when Garth Ennis and Clayton
Crain give everybody's favorite Spirit of
Vengeance a face lift in the new Marvel
Knights "Ghost Rider" miniseries.
And it's hot, too. Issue No. 1 sold out, but
don't worry if you missed it because a direc-
tor's cut hit shelves Wednesday along with
issue No. 2. The director's cut is chock-full
of bonus features, like Ennis' original pitch
for the series and covers by Crain, motoring
in at 48 pages.
Parts of the first issue play catch-up
on Ghost Rider's origin, so don't worry if
you're new to the game.
In a nutshell, motorcycle stunt-rider
Johnny Blaze sells his soul to the devil to
save his friend Crash from cancer, but ironi-
cally, Crash, not knowing
he's been cured of cancer,
dies attempting a danger-
ous motorcycle stunt.
Blaze ends up paying the t
devil his dues, and through
a turn of events becomes the Ghost Rider,
but now he's trapped in hell.
Ennis, known for the gallows humor
in his twisted, edgy stories "Preacher"
and "Punisher," weaves the tale of two
angels, Daniel and Malachi, who have to
get Ghost Rider out of hell to stop Kazann,
one mean demon ready to wreak havoc on
unsuspecting mortals. Meanwhile both
heaven and hell have sent their own hunt-
ers, an archangel, Ruth
Karolena and a demon, Hoss, to
Bielecki clean up the mess.
Get Graphic "Ghost Rider" doesn't
heavenue@alligator.org read like a Marvel book,
and& I don't mean that
in a bad way. You almost feel like you've
stumbled into "Hellblazer" or "Lucifer."
Marvel isn't notorious for dealing with
the realms of heaven and hell, so "Ghost
Rider" is actually a breath of fresh air and
a change from the normal superhero story.
Ennis really balances believe-ability and
the fantastic to create an appropriate super-
natural tone.
But let's not forget Clayton Crain, whose
unique art style, combining digital comput-
er techniques with the classic mode, brands
"Ghost Rider" with a design that's both
mystical and creepy.
The six-issue series will wrap in early
2006, but before you buy a motorcycle and
light your head on fire, you'll get more
"Ghost Rider" when the feature film star-
ring Nicholas Cage hits theaters summer
2006.

Sherman's march relived
If "The March" doesn't ensure E.L.
Doctorow a Nobel Prize in literature
sometime in the near future, I can't
imagine what would.
Though I try to approach the books I
review objectively, I have to admit that
my expectations were high for Doctorow's
latest novel, "The March," when I picked
it up.
I've been fond of Doctorow for a long
time. He taught me how much the con-
temporary novel was
capable of doing and
what the fictionalized
past could mean to the
present-day. t
His novels "Ragtime"
and "City of God" rank
high on my list of great American novels,
post-1965. Novels like "Billy Bathgate"
and "The Waterworks" are brilliant, high-
ly imagined works of historical fiction full
of personality and insight, not to mention
a deep sense of compassion and some
glimmer of hope for mankind. I enjoyed
"The March" just as I thought or maybe
hoped I would.
The novel is Doctorow's fictionalized
account of Union Gen. William Sherman's
devastating 60,000-man march through
the South at the end of the Civil War.
During that time, the general and his
troops destroyed or killed virtually every-
thing and everybody they came across.
It's a story of war and destruction,
sweeping in scope and hypnotic in tone.
The novel is narrated by a number of
different and wholly unique voices, all
of them forceful and, highly subjective,
which bring a particular perspective to the
story's events.
The most interesting character in the
novel, and the closest we get to an actual
protagonist, is Pearl.
She is a light-skinned, newly freed
slave who joins Sherman's march and
falls helplessly and hopelessly in love
with a white Union soldier in the midst of
Sherman's relentless campaign.
Surprisingly, the
James novel reminds me of
Fleming Francis Ford Coppola's
Off the Press "Apocalypse Now."
heavenue@alligator.org Though Doctorow's
locale is the American
South during the Civil
War and not Southeast Asia at the height
of the Vietnam War, it has that same jar-
ring, nauseous feel to it.
It bombards us with images of annihi-
lated countryside and stark visions of a
relentless human war machine in progress,
which Doctorow imagines here as being
-more of a living organism than a machine,
a particularly modem life form entirely
dedicated to death and destruction.
A plethora of rambling voices slipping
into and finally fully emerging in confu-
sion and madness leaves us with an over-
whelming sense of the utter futility and
the human necessity of war and conquest.
I couldn't help but notice that Sherman
has more than a bit of Coppola's Col.
Kurtz in him, yet another brilliant man
driven crazy by power and trauma during
wartime.
Crow hits, redboy worth it
Sheryl Crow
Wildflower
A&M
She does it again lyrics
that are unforgettable, a
voice that seems to have no boundaries
and emotions that flows from every note.
When listening to this album, or any
other Sheryl Crow album, read along with
the lyrics. It enhances the experience.
"Bum like a cigarette hole inside my
head, reminding me not to forget words ...
words I'd never say."
Crow intrigues her listeners with lines
like this.
She has a vast vocal range, but she uses
her high range more in this album.
Though lower range has a certain smo-
kiness that is unique, and she should show
it off more.
The title track, "Wildflower," shows a
side of Crow that is haunting.
It is different from her traditional sound
- it's vulnerable.
Crow takes some worthwhile risks but
showcases what she does best an edgi-
ness sought by female performers.
A few more trips to her lower vocal
range would make the CD stronger, but
even without them, the CD is a hit.
Sredboy
Save Me
Unsigned
The indie-folk sounds of
the instrumentals blend
with a voice built for the music. There are
no pieces missing from this band.
It's easy, however, for enthusiasm for the
music to die halfway through the album.
This album is monogamous to the
band's sound understandably because
this it's debut album.
It's an introduction to the band.
Hopefully, the next one will have some
variation.
That is not to say the album is not enjoy-
able.
Interest is perked with lyrics like "You
are the light of my life, I am your lamp-
shade."-
This band is comparable to Ani
DiFranco and The Cranberries. I say The
Cranberries mainly because of the opening
track, "In Your Head."
Caution to males: There are some femi-
nist undertones in this album, but nothing
that threatens your manhood.
Worth a listen.

S L Leak's injury concerns Meyer
UF might need to turn to Portis
Tim Casey/ Alligator Staff
UF quarterback Chris Leak is examined by team physician Pete Indeli-
cato during the first quarter of the Gators' 35-3 win against Mississippi
State after re-injuring his right shoulder.
By LOUIS ANASTASIS
Alligator Staff Writer
lanastasis@alligator.org
It was 9 a.m. Tuesday on
campus, and Chris Leak, instead
of shouldering a backpack, wore
a mammoth ice pack on his
throwing shoulder.
A precautionary decision or a
necessary one? Leak's health is
UF's burning topic as Louisiana
State draws nearer.
"I'm very concerned," Coach
Urban Meyer said.
No body part has become
more scrutinized, analyzed or
important as Leak's shoulder
midway through the season.
UF's conference title hopes rest
on whether Leak will remain
aggressive enough to run the
full spread arsenal Saturday.
Offensive coordinator Dan
Mullen admits UF shied away
from deep passes against
Mississippi State because of the
shoulder, but Leak appears a
full go for Death Valley.
"The shoulder feels real
good, and I've just been focus-
ing on our game plan for LSU
and executing it," Leak said. "It
happens all the time in football
- I mean guys have MCL sprains
and a lot worse than what I got.
It's just one of those football
things."
While the shoulder has
hindered Leak's durability, his
arm has been fine at the start of
practices. But the more throws
he logs, the sorer his shoulder
becomes. It was this reality that
prompted a numbing cortisone
shot prior to the Bulldogs'
game.
If Leak somehow re-ag-
gravates his injury Saturday,
backup Josh Portis will be asked
to run the entire offense.
"I'm ready to be the quar-
terback of the University of
Florida," Portis said. "That's
what I said at the beginning
of the season. You never know
what's going to happen, so you
just have to be ready when your
number is called."
"The shoulder feels real
good, and I've just been
focusing on our game plan
for LSU and executing it."
Chris Leak
UF quarterback
Arriving on campus as a
Meyer recruit in December,
Portis has been dubbed as the
team's future quarterback by
hoards of fans. Others gripe
about his minimal playing time,
saying his speed holds the key
to the true spread offense. While
the team is clearly Leak's, Portis
has prepared for the worst-case
scenario.
"Chris is my boy," he said.
"I wish the best for him. I ask
him every day how he's doing.
I hope he gets better. We sure
need him.
"I'll pray for him every night,
but if my number' is called, I
have to get them."
Mullen has been, working
with Portis to increase his com-
fort zone with more facets of the
offense. Still, at times, it is obvi-
ous he has miles to go.
"He's a freshman and you're
going to have plenty of growing
pains with him," Mullen said.
"He's going to make young-
guy mistakes. He hasn't seen all
those live looks. "
The one knock on Portis
has been his passing. The re-
serve continued to inflate his
gaudy rushing numbers against
Mississippi State, but as it
stands, he has logged 26 runs to
11 passes.
"He's getting there, but he's
an 18-year old who's a really
athletic running quarterback
out of high school," Mullen
said. "You play to his strengths;
you're just going to use every-
thing he does best.
"You don't see a lot of fresh-
men come in and light it up in
the drop-back passing game."
You also don't see many
teams stay on course during
mid-season if their starting arm
. goes down. Leak understands
that concept and doesn't plan
on going anywhere.
"I just love being out there
with my teammates and that's
the main thifig," Leak said. "I
never want to let those guys
down, and I want to be out there
with them having fun."
Gators need aggressive defensive line to make Tigers bait on bayou
A according to the T-shirts they sport, it's
no one but them.
. That mantra could prove true when
the Gators make their first trip to Louisiana
State since handing the Tigers the only loss of
their 2003 championship season.
The Tennessee win is long gone, and this
week's game will decide UF's fate.
The Gators, a 6-point underdog, will need a
struggling offense to put up big points against
the most blitz-happy, aggressive defense'in
the conference. -However, LSU Coach Les
Miles is already hearing whispers of being the
conference's next Zooker.
While I see the Gators offense sputtering
early, this game stacks up favorably to the last
time the Gators came up big in the bayou.
In 2003, they were big underdogs on the
road, and experts gave them zero chance
at winning. UF was uncertain- at the run-
ning back position, and defensive end Ray
McDonald was flirting with returning from an
injury in remarkable time.
For Meyer to have any shot of coaching this
team to victory, the defensive line will have to
pressure quarterback JaMarcus Russell and
create turnovers, because it will be hard for the
offense to move the ball consistently 80-yards
down the field on the ground.
The Gators' defensive front has played
lights out so far, and several players have
stepped their games up faster than the Swamp
Things nonchalantly
filing out in the third
quarter of the home-
coming game. A zinger,
but I understand how
students had to get back
Eric Esteban to not doing anything.
Tenacious E Mr. Champions
eesteban@alligator.org Club, aka senior Jeremy
Mincey, was named the
SEC Defensive Lineman
of the Week and is playing with a nonstop mo-
tor. Defensive tackle Marcus Thomas has been
playing like a college-level Warren Sapp, and
at linebacker, B-Siles has been nothing short of
an All-American as a sophomore.
But every member of the defense com-
bined might not be able to resuscitate the team
in front of a LSU home crowd still hankering
for the team's first win in Baton Rouge this
year, especially if the offense struggles behind
Leak's tender right shoulder.
UF's uncertainty at tailback should force
offensive coordinator Dan Mullen to use the
conference's deceptively top-ranked pass
offense to light up the SEC's worst, but in-
juries could limit the options. I wouldn't be
surprised in the least if the Gators dusted off
some trick plays, and if the offensive line steps
its game up to the level Meyer has asked. Then
the buzzards flying over Death Valley could
be dining on Tiger tail.

VOLLEYBALL
UF sweeps hapless Bulldogs
By BRYAN JONES
Alligator Writer
Many UF volleyball fans
probably thought it would be
a long time coming before the
home crowd would ever cheer
for anyone donning red and
black.
Georgia head coach Steffi
Legall and assistant coach
Nicole McCray, however, re-
ceived just that with friendly
pre-game ovations from the
Gators' faithful.
Of course, if the Gators
continue to take the bite out
of the Bulldogs like they did
Wednesday, the fans will find
plenty of reasons to cheer.
In what was about as friend-
ly a contest as a UF-Georgia
match-up could get, the No. 5
Gators (17-1, 7-0 Southeastern
Conference) defeated Georgia
(7-9, 2-4 SEC), 30-19, 30-19,
30-17, Wednesday night at the
O'Connell Center.
Legall and McCray were
both All-Americans for the
Gators and played for UF
coach Mary Wise.
"I don't think it's ever fun
to play against your friends,"
Wise said. "But once the first
serve starts, you forget all
about it."
That could be a little more
difficult for McCray's sister,
Amber, who is UF's starting
right-side hitter.
?We know they are going
to come out, no matter
how their season's going,
and they are going to give
us their best shot."
Amber McCray
UF outside hitter
Amber said that while she
enjoys defeating her sister's
team, she just relishes the op-
portunity to see her sister face-
to-face.
"I think it would be differ-
ent if she was actually playing,
and I had to look across the
net and see her," McCray said.
"But we're just so excited to get
to see each other so much more"
by her being in our league.
The Gators were playing on
two days rest, but historically
UF plays well against Georgia.
"We know they are going
to come out, no matter how
their season's going, and they,
are going to give us their best
shot," McCray said.
The Gators won each game
by a margin of at least 11
points.
But it took some late-game
runs by Georgia to even keep
the scores that close.
Struggling to contain UF
outside hitter Jane Collymore,
the Bulldogs fell behind early
and often.
Collymore, a two-time
All-American scorched the
Bulldogs for 20 kills, 10 digs
and three service aces on .567
hitting.
As solid as those numbers
are, Wise said Collymore's
performance was even more
impressive than any stat-sheet
could indicate.
"We really know [Collymore]
is in a groove when she serves
as well as she did, and she
passed nails," Wise said. "It
was an All-American perfor-
mance tonight."

DAVIS, from page 23

doesn't get a whole lot of attention
because she was a former walk-on,
who we met because she came to camp
here," Wise said. "We get thousands of
campers who come through here.

"For her to kind of set herself apart,
from Austin, Texas, to come here as a
walk-on, she stepped up yesterday and
was just nailing her serve."
A Daughter's Guilt
As a walk-on, Davis' family had to
pay tuition for her to go to school, a fact
that left her with a little bit of guilt.
"She had opportunities to go out of
state and have a full ride, albeit at a
lower level school," her mother, Ann,
said. "She felt bad that we were go-
ing to have to pay tuition after having
paid for her club and all that kind of
stuff through her younger years in high
school and middle school."
While Davis is now second on the
team in service aces with 22 and fifth
in digs with 131, the transition from
high school to the college game wasn't
a simple one.
"It was really funny because my first
day at practice, I was wide-eyed and
moving all over the place and trying to
do way too much," Davis said.
"The speed is different, the game is
different, there's much more reason for
what you're doing instead of just going
through the motions in practice."
Hard Work Pays Off
Davis was named to the Southeastern
Conference Academic Honor Roll her
sophomore year and she has obviously
come along way from those days when
she was a wide-eyed freshman.
Davis credits her consistent hard
work as the reason she's gotten to
where she is today.
"It's definitely a plus [knowing]
people say, 'Well maybe if you work
hard and that's all you do, you don't
ever get anything from it,'" Davis said.
"Well that's a lie because I wouldn't be
here, and I wouldn't be doing what I'm
doing now if I didn't work hard and
stay here all summer and work in the
gym. It's definitely in direct relation to
working hard."
Pride of the Family
The fact that she has found her niche
in Gainesville is what has pleased her
family the most.
"She's happy, that's the main thing,"
her mother said. "We're happy that's
she's happy, we're just proud."

Little defender that could
Track star earns volleyball success recruited in track than volleyball.
She was the 2002 regional champion
By DAN TREAT Davis, UF defender extraordinaire. in the pole vault and finished second
Alligator Writer "I like being the short, quirky, in the state of Texas that year with a
dtreat@alligator.org speedy little thing," Davis said. vault of 11 feet 3 inches, a Bowie High
School record.
You spot her out on the court with
her blonde ponytail pulled tight,
sporting orange and blue Nike Shox
and the No. 2 sewn onto her back,
and you may wonder, "How did she
get out there?"
She stands at just 5-foot-7, if your
program is to be believed, and many
of those around her stand at 6-foot or
above.
"This girl is a volleyball player?"
you silently wonder. "There's no
way."
When she is introduced as a starter
from Austin, Texas, you become more
confused. How can this girl possibly
compete?
The match begins, and the oppos-
ing outside hitter drills a ball that is
shooting towards the comer of the
court.
She dives frantically to her left
and completes a perfect pass to the
setter, resulting in a Gators point.
"OK, now I get it," you think to
yourself.
That likely won't be the last thing
that surprises you about junior Rhian
Track Star Beginnings
A former pole vaulter, a walk-
on, and a Gator almost by accident,
Davis spent a majority of her first
two years on the bench, learning
from those around her.
"I think when you sign up for this
you have that realiza-
oQ1y.,.be// tion in the back of
.... your head that you're
Si not going to be the
Feature all-star," Davis said.
"You're going to have-
to sit back and you're going to have
to learn.
"I was never really disappointed
in the fact that I wasn't playing be-
cause I knew that I still had a long
way to come to earn that right of
playing."
She may have had a long way to
go on the court, but she already had
come so far to be in Gainesville in
first place.
And from someone whose own
mother described her as "gritty",
would you expect anything less?
Davis was actually more highly
But with a GPA just as high as any
cross beam 4.0 to be exact Davis
could gain admission to most uni-
versities with her academics as well
as athletics.
Fated for the Gators?
When Davis decided that she
wanted to play elite level college vol-
leyball, a twist of fate started her on
the path to UF.
"In the recruiting process in high
school, all kinds of schools will send
you their camp pamphlets," Davis
said. "And I said, 'Well, the first two
camp things that I get, those will be
the camps that I go to.'
"So Florida's was first and North
Carolina's was second."
A Legend Takes Notice
That fact rmay have been even
more impressive to UF Coach Mary
Wise, who singled her out as a spark

Miss earlier this year

* O'DOME WILL HONOR REQUEST FOR ALCOHOL. By STEPHEN MAGRUDER Alligator Writer smagruder@aligator.org Rapper Kanye West and UF have at least one thing in common: They say no to Coke. West, scheduled to perform at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center tonight at 7:30, is sponsored by the independent florida Not officially associated with the University of Florida Published by Campus Communications, Inc. of Gainesvile, Florida We Inform. You Decide. Kanye West performs tonight Pepsi and has requested that no Coke products be placed in his dressing room. West's rider, the list of needs and amenities requested by performers, details how everything is to be set up for the show, both onstage and behind the scenes. The rider includes stage equipment specifications, security personnel and a detailed catering menu covering three full meals, three dressing rooms and a bus full of people. O'Connell Center Director Lionel Dubay signed the contract with Fantasma Productions, the booking agency responsible for bringing West's "Touch the Sky" tour to Gainesville. On Dubay agreed to Campus8 pay West $115,000 to perform, along with special guests Common, Fantasia and Keyshia Cole. West's orchestra will be paid an additional $5,000. To hold the concert, Fantasma Productions agreed to take out $1 million in insurance and pay UF $2,300 for the first four hours of the O'Connell Center's use. Security arrangements include 40 security officers, 11 University Police officers and five or six parking patrollers. Reminiscent of Snoop Dogg's February concert rider, West requested wildly varied items for his dressing room: three tubes SEE KANYE, PAGE 4 Local fossl diggers unearth past By EMILY KISER Alligator Contributing Writer Volunteers working alongside museum employees hope to break a world record after discovering remains of mammals more than 2 million years old Tuesday, as they kicked off a fossil dig lasting until December. The Tapir Challenge, a major fossil excavation run by the Division of Vertebrate Paleontology of the Florida Museum of Natural History, gives volunteer fossil diggers the chance to help excavate a 40-yard by 40-yard site at a limestone mine in northeast Newberry, the town just west 4 .~of Gainesville. "It's likely that we will find over 100 individual skeletons," said Richard Hulbert, vertebrate paleontology collections manager for the museum. "No fossil site in the world has ever been like that." The Tapir Challenge got its name by the high number of tapirs -hoofed, plant-eating mammals distantly related to horses and rhinos -that have been, and will be, excavated from the site. "We're trying to see who can set the world record for who can find the most tapirs at one site," Hulbert said. Along with tapirs, Hulbert said specimens of porcupines, giant armadillos, giant ground sloths, fish, frogs, snakes, birds and elephant-like fossils would be extracted. "A number of these specimens are the best of the species that we have ever found worldwide," Hulbert said. The site of the excavation is more than 2 million years old, Hulbert said. The site is dated by comparing fossils found within the site to other dated fossils from other excavation sites around the country. "Presently, we are in the bed of a lake," Hulbert said. "We are in the middle of something like Lake Alice." Employees of the museum have been working since May on the site named Haile 7G. The volunteer-assisted portion of the excavation will continue to mid-December. "We tend to concentrate our volunteers in the two dry seasons, spring and fall," Hulbert said. "The worst things Kristin Nichols / Aligator are rain-outs." Volunteer Phyllis Saarinen digs through a layer of clay Wednesday morning at UF's Tapir Challenge site.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2005 Alumnus to receive SqG honor By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer dcohen@alligator.org UF lost a son earlier this year whose work continues to touch the lives of today's students. Howard Christopher Tompkins II, who served as Student Body president 10 years ago, lost a 10-month battle with leukemia April 30. He was 34. As one who helped bring the SouthwestRecreation Center to campus, Chris will be honored when Student Government names the SG conference room.after him at 2:30 p.m. Friday. After majoring in political science tended the Levin College of Law and worked as a lawyer for environmental cases. Tompkins Chris, known as "Spud" to friends, served as Student Body president, treasurer, Senate president and budget committee chairman during his nearly eight-year stay at UF During his time, he also brought a discounted SG copy center to students. His mother, Elizabeth "Betty Jo" Tompkins, a UF alumna, was in a car wreck while pregnant with Chris on May 7, 1970, causing Chris to be born five weeks early. "Friends always teased him that that was the [only] time he was early in his life," Betty Jo said. When he won the 1994-95 SG election for Student Body president, there were seven candidates for the position; Tompkins received 69 percent of the vote. Senate secretary Glenda Frederick said he never stopped working. SEE CHRIS, PAGE 5 I Outside hitter Jane Collymore scorched Georgia with a game-high 20 kiiis, as the Gators swept the Bulldogs.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 3 N BRANDON BROOKS WILL STAR IN A NATIONAL TV COMMERCIAL FOR OLD SPICE. By HEATHER RAPP Alligator Contributing Writer Witnesses reported a man being chased around by film crews at the Swamp wearing only a white bathrobe and swim trunks Saturday. It might sound like a bad prank, but for 19-year-old Brandon Brooks, it was all because of his newfound celebrity status. Brooks was one of 17 college students from across the country chosen to star in his own national television commercial for Old Spice body wash. America's Cleanest Comic Competition judges held auditions Oct. 6 on the Reitz Union Colonnade. Contestants had to tell their favorite joke with one catch: As the naine suggests, it had to be clean. Standing in front of the camera, Brooks spontaneously recalled a joke he'd heard a long time ago but said he wants to keep the joke confidential until the commercial airs. "It was about a golfer. I'll tell you that much," he said. A grin crept across his face as he recalled the audition. "It also included me just acting silly in front of the camera," he said. The sophomore's joke was a hit, and the punchline landed him a spot in a national commercial for High Endurance Body Wash by Old Spice. Film crews flew to Gainesville from Chicago on Friday for the filming, which took five and a half hours. Cameramen followed the robe-clad Brooks as he interacted with crowds at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium during the Homecoming game Saturday. Other parts of the commercial were filmed at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center. Student "It was all just fun and Life games to me," Brooks said. "It wasn't anything too challenging." The commercial' will air nationally at least six times during college football games on ABC and ESPN. Brooks said he will make his debut Saturday. But the contest doesn't end there. Viewers are invited to visit www.OldSpice.com and vote for who they think is America's cleanest comic; the winner will receive an allinclusive vacation to Las Vegas. "It's kind of an 'American Idol'type deal," he said. But Brooks said he is just enjoying his 15 minutes of fame. "Not everybody gets to have this experience, and I thank God that I did," he said. Being the center of attention and in front of the camera is nothing new for the South Carolina native. "All my life, you know when I was a little kid, I used to be the class clown," Brooks said. While this was his first national television commercial, he appeared in several local commercials when he was 15. He was cast as an extra in the show "Dawson's Creek" when he was 16, and he returned in another episode to deliver a one-liner. Brooks was a local star by 17 when he appeared in "Keep it Real," a documentary film educating school children about the dangers of drunken driving and drugs. But resumes can be deceiving. This microbiology and cell science major has his heart set on medical school. "Just seeing some of the things people go through these days, I can't see myself being anything but a doctor," he said. The comedy might end there, but his philanthropy goesfurther. "Then if I became an actor, if I got paid a lot of money, I want to help donate that to some other funds, too," he said. In his mind, both paths lead to the same goal. "I like putting smiles on people's faces," he said.

4, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2005 ON CAMPUS Singer on Turlington P aza carries tune for positivity College of Education student Lew Welge sings and plays his guitar outside Norman Hall on Wednesday morning. By DAPHNE CHARLES Alligator Contributing Writer "And we're rolling, rolling, rolling down the river," he sings, plucking away at the guitar in his arms. This isn't a concert; this is Turlington Plaza. Lew Andrew Welge, a student in the College of Education counselor education program, can be found singing and playing his guitar on the plaza throughout the semester. At 8:15 Wednesday morng, he serenaded students on their way to class with his rendition of Tina Turner's "Proud Mary." "Life's a dance, and we're always representing, so here's a guy representing performance art, if you will," Welge said of himself. He is 50 years young, he said, and it is his outlook on life that keeps his spirits high. The first day he sang and played his guitar on the plaza last August, a policeman asked him to stop singing so he could check his identification. "He interrupted my song, 'City of New Orleans,"' he said. After showing the officer his Gator 1 Card, Welge said he has not been approached since. As for how the general population has responded to him, Welge spoke of emotional responses being measured on a scale from one to 100. "One would be first eye contact," he said. "Then you have holding hands. Where would that be? 15? 20?" Society. has taught us to repress the "togetherness force we strive for," he said. Perhaps, he said, that's why some people choose not to respond to his performances. "Everyone wants to keep a low profile," he said. "I can't, because I'm 6 (foot) 8." Despite these tendencies brought on by society, Welge said he believes his music has a positive effect. "I get smiles all the time from people," he said. "I love it." Turlington Plaza and the Plaza of the Americas are locations where people are welcome to exercise free speech, said JennaKilcomons, student manager of the Student Activities Center. "People can take a guitar out there and sing or play," Kilcomons said. "A little bit of everybody goes out there." Bottles of cognac, Hpnotiq, tequila on list of West's requirements KANYE, from page 1 of Carmex lip balm, four pairs of men's large white boxers, one bowl of salted pistachios with no red coloring and 10 bottles of liquor -Hennessy cognac, Hpnotiq and Patron Silver tequila. Common's dressing room will include such items as a bowl of dried fruits, a hot-tea set up, and one bottle each of Clos du Bois Chardonnay, Belvedere Vodka and Hpnotiq. Unlike Snoop Dogg's contract, requests for alcohol in West's rider were allowed because the O'Dome is paying to bring the artist -not Student Government Productions. SG is not allowed to use tuition-funded Activity & Service fees to pay for alcohol. Dubay said SGP's only involvement in the concert was paying to discount the first 2,000 tickets sold to students at the University Box Office from $36 to $26. The administration is bringing West de-, spite his liberal use of a racially charged word that university officials recently decried in an e-mail to the entire student body. Student groups including the Black Student Union also protested its use. "With a hip-hop show, you never know." Lionel Dubay Stephen C. O'Connell Center director O'Dome catering staff are expected to cook for the artists and anywhere from 40 to 75 touring crew members. Menu choices include mixed greens salads, chicken soft tacos, Chinese stir fry and grilled steak, and all disposable flatware and silverware are prohibited. As of Tuesday morning, ticket sales reached an estimated 4,800 -the largest advance sale for any of West's Florida performances, Dubay said. The figure is out of a venue capacity of 12,000, according to the O'Dome Web site, though seats behind the stage are blocked off. He said the demand for tickets at UF rivals past concerts, including Sioop Dogg's. "For hip-hop shows, I think he's doing exceptionally well," Dubay said. The concert, including breaks between artists, is expected to last until 11 p.m. Walk-up sales for most concerts generally number in the hundreds. But, "with a hip-hop show, you never know," he said. iTA Travel ii the worldwide leader in itudent travel: -discounted, Plexible airPare "adventure travel -spring break & winter packages "travel insurance AM pnsrirn"y.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 5 Students collect for quake victims N CAR WASHES WILL TAKE PLACE AT LOCAL BURGER KING OUTLETS. By DIANA MAZZELLA Alligator Writer dma ella@alligator.org Aisha Khan's relatives in Pakistan have lost homes, two have died and one is missing after this week's magnitude-7.6 earthquake in the region. The Pakistani Student Association at UF, of which Khan is president, and other campus groups will begin collecting donations for those affected as early as today. In addition to campus collections to take place at the Reitz Union, car washes will be held Sunday and Oct. 23 at Burger King on Archer Road and Oct. 30 at Burger King near Newberry Road, said Maria Rehman, the group's Webmaster. Each car wash will be held from noon to 6 p.m. Khan said about 95 percent of students in the group have relatives in Pakistan, though Rehman noted that most hail from areas of the country not affected by the earthquake. "All my friends in Islamabad .they're doing OK, thank God," Khan said. Rehman said she and her cousins, including Khan, were going to tour the area of Azad Kashmir in Pakistan and its cities this summer after she graduated. "Most of [the cities] are completely destroyed," she said. Money raised will go to Zindagi Trust, a Pakistani-run organization that is sending 100 percent of the money received for earthquake relief to the affected areas, she said. The trust Student appealed to Activism Khan and her executive board because it is sending aid to rural areas, she said. The organization has set up medical and relief camps in Balakot and Abbottabad in the northern part of the country, according to its Web site. A dinner and fundraiser will be held Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Hoda Center in Gainesville, Khan said. Student Government and the South Asian American Student Alliance will host a vigil Wednesday at 7: 30 p.m. in the Reitz Uniorf Amphitheatre, where attendees can also donate, Rehman said. She encouraged people to assist those affected by the earthquake in Pakistan because it could be them. She asked people to imagine they are the ones trapped under rubble for 72 hours and suffocating. "A lot of people on campus .I talked to them and they didn't even know there was an earthquake," Rehman said. Volunteers of all ages assist with dig FOSSIL, from page 1 After the bones are reconstructed, they are given a permanent catalog number that will go into a database at the museum. The museum's vertebrate collection exceeds 200,000 specimens, making it one of the largest in the United States, Hulbert said. Hulbert said the first 1 percent of the site that had been excavated had produced eight individual skeletons, including an ancient porcupine. Most of the eight skeletons were found during the summer months. "That's when we talked to the mine managers," Hulbert said. "They were very generous, and will allow for us to dig here for two or three years." Hulbert said an agreement has been formed between the paleontologists and the mine managers that once the fossils are excavated, they will become sole property of the museum. Hulbert said the dig doesn't ask much of the volunteers, who work with small screwdrivers and sometimes their bare hands, to remove the clay and rocks around the fossils. "We literally get volunteers ages 18 to 80," Hulbert said. "They just have to be fit enough to work outside and sit or kneel in what can be awkward positions." Little physical strength is needed for the dig, Hulbert said. The only thing needed is a lot of patience. If the volunteers find broken or fragile skeletons, the area of the fossil is covered in plaster and burlap. It is then taken back to the lab at the museum, Hulbert said. There the U F fossils are cleaned with water Research and glued back together. "We try to reconstruct the skeletons," Hulbert said. "All the arm bones, leg bones and toe bones go back together." -The museum is in its sixth year of holding a major fossil excaVation. "It's an unusual thing to do," said Bill Keeler, a volunteer fossil digger in the excavation, as he flicked tiny clumps of clay away from the ground. Keeler has participated in a number of the museum's fossil excavations. "To find something that's been sitting here for 2 million years is kind of amazing," Keeler said. Former president brought much to UF CHRIS, from page 1 "He was one who set out do something, come hell or high water," she said. "He came up with more ideas -that SG could do than anyone I've ever known." SG Office Manager Sandy Vernon said Chris was one-of-akind with his chubby cheeks and jolly nature. "He always had that uplifting spirit," she said. "He spoke to everybody. He didn't look down on people." She said he had daily conversations with Reitz Union janitors and knew them by name. Betty Jo said that even at his funeral, she could see the numerous lives her son touched. She said friends from every corner of the country, including Canada, came to pay respects. "Chris was the best friend in the world," she said. "My son wasn't perfect. He was just always the most incredibly giving. person you could imagine." She said he would drive 200 miles for anyone. He used to drive to Miami from his hometown of Brandon to take his grandma to the opera. She said he had a reputation for being brilliant too. He was UF's first National Truman Scholar, a National Hispanic Scholar, a Florida Blue Key member and Hillsborough County's youngest elected official as district supervisor for the Soil and Water Conservation board. His busy schedule encouraged his messy lifestyle. Frederick said she would find dirty socks and open jars of peanut butter throughout his SG office. Betty Jo said one morning when she was driving Chris' to elementary school, he had an unusual sadness about him. He said he was supposed to read a book for a report and forgot to. So, she gave him the typical parental lecture. When she picked him up from school, he still seemed sad. She said she figured she knew why. But she was wrong. The teacher had praised him in front of the class for his literary expertise. "I was so embarrassed because I had never read the book," he had said. Ivy-league schools tried to recruit him because of his awards, but he rejected their offers. "He just felt there was no better school (than UF)," she said. Chris was destined to be a Gator: He attended his first Gators football game at 3 months old with a family full of Gators alumni. Political science teaching assistant Charlie Grapski said despite trying to impeach Chris from his Student Body president office 10 years ago, he has great respect for him. "Chris was one of the most politically astute people I have ever met, and I've learned a lot from him," he said. "He wasn't a follower. He was a true leader."

6, ALLIGATOR S THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2005 Editor a Dead.y Iorc%; Self-defense law is necessarily vague T N11he Editorial Board is going to stand its ground. T Just don't try to break into the Alligator offices -we might shoot you with our vintage sawed-off shotgun. Continuing with our conservative streak this week, we see some benefits to the recently enacted law that redefines selfdefense. That's right -in principle, it's not all bad. The most important, and most debated, change is that residents and visitors of Florida are now allowed to "stand their ground" when faced with "imminent" danger. Previously, the accepted interpretation was a person should attempt a retreat before succumbing to violence. We're behind this distinction when applied to homes. If someone breaks into your home, you are allowed to defend your "castle." Too often in our society, the benefit of the doubt is given to: the criminal. Of course, those days of bored teenagers breaking into a neighbor's house for a case of beer are effectively over. Although we would hope such a prank wouldn't fall under a reasonable cause for a homeowner to feel in danger of hIs life and thus open fire with his AK-47. We can't promise that it won't. But we can look at the law and realize that, if judged fairly, such a situation would not favor the owner. We hate to see citizens take laws into their own hands, but we would also hate for a victim to have to ponder the nuances of a law in a dangerous situation. The law also extends to a person's right to fight "force with force" when attacked anywhere, and allows deadly force if that person "reasonably" believes that it is necessary to save his or her life. There are a thousand different ways this could go awry for both parties. But if we look at it from an individual perspective, we realize that this is exactly the kind of right we would want if we were put into such a compromising situation Basically, if we were dealing only with honest, sane citizens, this law would be perfectly valid. Everyone should have the right to defend his or her life. Alternately, if we were dealing only with honest, sane courts, this law would be acceptable. Unfortunately, neither situation exists. Yet it's impossible to write laws around the justice of courts. A law on defense has to be vague, and the law was vague before the gun-happy got to it. It was always based on whether a person believes he's in danger because legislation can't be specific to every case. We want to keep our rights to protect ourselves, but we also want to limit those who might unlawfully hurt us. The only solution is a just court system, and that doesn't exist. So the Editorial Board believes in the right to face danger when it knocks on our door, but we're realistic in the downfalls; that come with it. We don't want a law that could allow a murderer to go free, but we also don't want a law that boxes in our choices in survival situations. So rather than too vague, perhaps the law is not vague enough. By specifying that every intruder into a home can be considered a bodily threat, the law includes all types of unforeseeable situations. If the homeowner has a gun and the intruder has nothing, is it really fair for the former to kill the latter? It depends on the situation, and that's for a court to decide. And we are afraid of what side the court will take. But when we lose faith in a court to uphold the rights of citizens, we canot blame it on the shortcomings of legislation. a 11 -idependent florid Mike Gimignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR Emily Yehle OPINIONS EDITOR Tom Durrenberger, Scott Gilton, Andrew Meyer EDITORIAL BOARD The Alligator encourages comments from readers.

Because the political system is a never-ending saga of the same students, groups and Greek organizations, it's a wonder we still have elections at all. This is by no means an exhaustive list of election-time improprieties, but rest assured I could fill the whole paper with them. FALL 2005: In addition to the complaints we discussed Wednesday, the commission found Rawlings-area Gator candidate William Perry guilty of destroying an Impact campaign ad, after he grabbed it out of Impact candidate Victor Bard's hands, and placing a paid political ad without notice. His punishment: a reprimand and formal apology to Bard. Bard, however, was fined $25 for campaigning doorto-door. If anything, we would think violence would take precedence. SPRING 2005: The Gator Party was found not guilty after a widely circulated e-mail reported promises of positions in SG in exchange for Gator votes. Before the election, the SG Supreme Court met in secret to reject a petition that would allow students to vote via Internet in future elections, claiming uncertainty over whether the petitioners were asking for an initiative or a referendum. Of course, the document used the word "initiative" four times and never even mentioned a referendum. That decision was eventually overturned because the meeting violated open-meeting laws. In true SG fashion, it was too late to resubmit the initiative for ballot placement. SPRING 2002: We were actually supposed to have online voting as early as this election, but a late-night ruling by the Board of Masters declared the Internet ballot illegal. SPRING 2001: Too many to mention, but here are two of the juicier ones. A member of Delta Delta Delta Sorority told her sisters that the Fusion Party offered to put their names in a raffle for a $15 Victoria's Secret gift certificate if they voted on the first day of elections. The commission did not see this as serious. After Fusion Party presidential candidate Marc Adler defeated SUN -14Party candidate Gil Sanchez by only 17 votes, the Masters issued yet another late-night order allowing the Student Senate to validate the elecMike Gimignani tion without a recount. Editorial Notebook SPRING 2000: During an espemgimignani@aImIgator.org cially heated election, the Impact Party (then Greek-controlled) faced complaints of releasing false information against its opponents in the Florida Students Party. In response to a defamatory e-mail that appeared on a widely circulated listserv, the comntlission actually invalidated the election, only to be overturned by the Masters. SPRING 1996: After the first SG election featured relatively low turnout, commission-set polling places for the runoff changed across campus. For instance, the Southwest Recreation Center precinct was moved to the Levin College of Law -suspiciously close to Fraternity Row. SPRING 1995: The day before the election, fliers appeared on campus, complete with phony police records alleging that candidate Charles Grapski was a convicted child molester. Grapski's complaints to the Elections Commission, student courts and the UF administration were rejected, often without a hearing or review. Here's where the simrilarity stops: Instead of repeatedly ramming himself against brick walls within the university, he instead sued in circuit court -and won. We use the Grapski example often, but it is important because he actually succeeded. That he had to take his arguments outside UF to prevail is lamentable, but perhaps the best evidence we have to show that the officials who decide election issues are not impartial. I hope this shows that we're not pulling our concerns out of thin air. Mike Gimnignani is editor of the Alligator The views expressed here are not necessarily those of the Alligator.

By mocking 'those who realize the value of all human life, Marlette is showing an incredible weakness: the inability to show respect for others. Similarly, those who are supporters of the culture of death also lack respect for the unborn and for life in general. Those who believe in a so-called "woman's right to choose" clearly are missing the point: Life begins at conception, and it should never be ended by human hands. It's about time people realize that making a choice does not justify murder. I applaud Anthony M. Piferrer, author of a guest column Wednesday. It is encouraging to see that not everyone in college has been brainwashed to believe that killing the most innocent among us is acceptable as long as it makes their lives easier. Natalia Pedraza Vice president of Pro-Life Alliance 2LS Psychoactive drugs prompt positive experiences for some Standing in the middle of a roundabout in north Gainesville is not a safe setting for anyone on psychoactive drugs. Obviously, Justin Richards didn't interview responsible users when he wrote his Wednesday article on 2C drugs. Many who have experimented with them report positive and introspective trips. Maybe this is because they used the drugs in moderation and in a comfortable setting. People with anxiety or depression can easily freak out on psychoactives. But for others, tripping can provide insight or a change of perspective. After all, these drugs, along with MDMA, were originally developed to improve patient-therapist relationships. Richards also failed to mention some facts about 2C drugs. They are analogues of mescaline, derived from peyote. And the difference between 2C-B and 2C-I comes from the addition of halogens to their chemical structures. Bromine is added to 2C-B and iodine is added to 2C-I. Last but not least, professor Paul Doering's quotes about Alexander Shulgin cast a dark shadow over a brilliant chemist whose research was, in fact, sponsored by the federal government. If the effects -are unknown, they aren t necessarily harmful. Zoe Brugger 3JM Rulings must be based on laws Andrew Bare's Wednesday guest column suggested that the U.S. Constitution is "dated" and cannot be applied to today's situations. What Bare ignored was that the Constitution is a changing document. It was changed in 1865 to outlaw slavery, in 1920 to allow women to vote and as late as 1992 to limit congressional pay raises. Justices must use some standard in judgment, either of the law or not of the law. If rulings are not based in law but personal opinion or conviction, there is no common standard, as everyone has different beliefs. Without some standard there is only tyranny, however well-meaning it may be. Justices who do not follow the Constitution, as written and intended, weaken the foundations of our free society. If Bare doesn't like the law, he has an avenue to pursue change: He can become more involved in his government. It's hard work, but it's honest and fair. Jeremiah Blanchard 7EG Bible tells us that Jesus would not advocate killing the unborn I fully respect everyone's right to free speech. Even Andy Marlette's. If he chooses to exercise his right by making fun of Christians and their God, that is his prerogative. I do, however, advocate researching topics before going to print with your opinions. The Bible is very clear that the only reason one person should take another person's life is if that person has killed an innocent person. According to the only historical source that we have about Jesus, he followed all of the laws put forth by the Bible. It is clear by this that he is not an advocate of killing unborn children. These fetuses have bodies just like normal people with internal organs and functioning life systems. Theyare not just masses of tissue. Their life systems must be suspended before they can be eliminated. Also, Jesus did not smoke. Your body is a temple. Check your sources! Kendal Hutto 3LS U U Opinions section is getting old Since the massive opinion fire, sparked by Marlette's now infamous cartoon, I have found myself skipping to the center of your newspaper. Whether right or wrong, informed or uninformed, we are all gleefully entitled to our own opinion. Perhaps it is my own very strong convictions that so draw me to this section. I have an opinion for everything, and, of course, I am also right about everything. Aren't we all? However, to put matters plainly, it's getting old. Nothing, and I repeat nothing, is being accomplished. Well, nothing positive of course. There has been plenty of line-drawing, finger-pointing and ever-increasing division. I am beginning to think that the Alligator staff spins a giant "issues wheel" to decide what they can get UF students to fight over next. JP Bowers 3HHP to beJom~e ~a ma2rk Representative.

Close to downtown, its biggest advantage is location. The gym is also well set-up with colored tape denoting the difficulty of each suggested climbing path.

CURTAIN CALL Dracula sucks at the Hipp on Friday By GABRIELLA VIGIER Avenue Writer Don't have enough money for Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights? You can do better for half the price. This Friday, "Dracula" will make its debut at the Hippodrome Theatre, and it will be a bloody good performance. The show includes spouts of death, suspense-filled scenes, sex and seduction -even animal lust. While the storyline of "Dracula" is familiar to most, the choice of delivery that director Lauren Caldwell has chosen leaves eyes wide open and satisfied. "'Dracula' is the one that we turned upside-down," Caldwell said. Caldwell directed another vampire performance eight years ago at the Hippodrome. "We thought enough time had passed to bring it up again," she said. Highly detailed scenery and interesting interpretations of costume add to the show's enjoyment. The performance is approached as an old genre fihn and has so much visual imagery. Performers in the play include grad students and recent UF graduates. Ryan Burbank, 25, a first-year student in the Masters of Fine Arts Acting Program at UF, said theater is a good place to get your scare on. "I think people underestimate how much more scary things are live," Burbank said. But the live-effect isn't the only thing "Dracula" has going for it. The play is filled with so much detail that the audience may not catch every single thing, but it will be worth seeing, said Garret Bantom, a recent graduate of UF's MFA program. "They may feel like they got it, but they may have to come back," Bantom said. Rachel Roberts, a 26-year-old UF alumna, said she agrees and that every "Dracula" storyline can be told differently. The actors, however, appreciate how Caldwell presented the play. She even had a way of hiding details that worked in the final product. "She almost kept it a secret until we were ready for them," Burbank said. There are more interesting facts behind the scenes as well. For instance, the actor playing the role of Count Dracula is Robin Bloodworth, who says playing vampires-runs in the family. His father played a vampire back in the '80s. Also, scenic designer Mihai Ciupe is originally from Romania, which includes the region of Transylvania, the birthplace of Dracula. "As a theatrical story, it's quite a challenge," Ciupe said. "The Danny Ohitis/ Alligator Rachel Roberts, playing Lucy in the upcoming Hippodrome production of "Dracula," seduces Jonathan Harker, her character's fianc6, played by Armando Acevedo. subject gives a lot of freedom.". Don't expect him to tell you about any encounters with vam-pires though; he doesn't believe in them. "Dracula" is not for the timid and definitely not for kids. Going further on the-sex and seduction, there are not just men and women showing affection for each other. The actors are excited to present the play at the Hippodrome beginning this Friday. "It's as sexy as it is bloody," Burbank said.

In every new or improved aspect of this year's installment to the premiere golfing videogame, there is a flaw to ruin it. For example, the new "dual analog" swinging adds more complexity to what has always been a too-simple recreation of a complex game, but since players will most often want to strike the middle of their ball, no one will ever use it. And the new courses are as distinct and beautiful as any that have graced a TigerWoods game, and yet some old favorites are noticeably missing. The biting commentary of past games returns as mean as ever, but mostly because so much of it is the same. Tiger even talks now, but all he says are short quips like ."Yes!" or "Come on!" Most modified about this version of the is its reinvented putting system. Previously, the game has always presented players with a caddy tip that simply required them to estimate measurements and shoot for the right spot. The new system does the same thing, only in a new, worse way. Instead of a caddy tip, golfers use a grid that covers the curves of the green and highlights its slope with moving dots. Anyone dominating the Tiger Woods series in the past will find this system inexact and frustrating, but can master it with patience. My disapBrett p o i n t m e n t Kelman with this new Don't Hate the Playa system is that, theavenue@aligator.org in a game that prides itself on gorgeous presentation, it transforms the pristine greens of Pebble Beach into graph paper. In addition to graphics determining type of shot, club, weather, terrain, "Gamebreaker" and elevation, "Tiger Woods PGA Tour '06" feels like you are aiming with a targeting computer, not a golf club. On the whole, Electronic Arts' "Tiger Woods PGA Tour '06" just doesn't feel very polished. It's like they took last year's model, stripped its glossy coat, tinkered with some parts and forgot to refinish with the glossy coat. At best, some elements were left alone, so the game still sports its "GameFace" feature, snazzy music and beautiful graphics. If you saw a guy with his skull on fire, you'd probably give him your attention. If you see a comic book about a guy with his skull on fire, you had better do the same. Especially when Garth Ennis and Clayton Crain give everybody's favorite Spirit of Vengeance a face lift in the new Marvel Knights "Ghost Rider" miniseries. And it's hot, too. Issue No. 1 sold out, but don't worry if you missed it because a director's cut hit shelves Wednesday along with issue No. 2. The director's cut is chock-full of bonus features, like Ennis' original pitch for the series and covers by Crain, motoring in at 48 pages. Parts of the first issue play catch-up on Ghost Rider's origin, so don't worry if you're new to the game. In a nutshell, motorcycle stunt-rider Johnny Blaze sells his soul to the devil to save his friend Crash from cancer, but ironically, Crash, not knowing he's been cured of cancer, dies attempting a dangerous motorcycle stunt. Blaze ends up paying the t devil his dues, and through a turn of events becomes the Ghost Rider, but now he's trapped in hell. Ennis, known for the gallows humor in his twisted, edgy stories "Preacher" and "Punisher," weaves the tale of two angels, Daniel and Malachi, who have to get Ghost Rider out of hell to stop Kazarm, one mean demon ready to wreak havoc on unsuspecting mortals. Meanwhile both heaven and hell have sent their own hunters, an archangel, Ruth Karolena and a demon, Hoss, to Bielecki clean up the mess. Get Graphic "Ghost Rider" doesn't heavenue@aligator.org read like a Marvel book, and I don't mean that in a bad way. You almost feel like you've stumbled into "Hellblazer" or "Lucifer." Marvel isn't notorious for dealing with the realms of heaven and hell, so "Ghost Rider" is actually a breath of fresh air and a change from the normal superhero story. Ennis really balances believe-ability and the fantastic to create an appropriate supernatural tone. But let's not forget Clayton Crain, whose unique art style, combining digital computer techniques with the classic mode, brands "Ghost Rider" with a design that's both mystical and creepy. The six-issue series will wrap in early 2006, but before you buy a motorcycle and light your head on fire, you'll get more "Ghost Rider" when the feature film starring Nicholas Cage hits theaters summer 2006.

12, ALLIGATOR N THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2005 Sherman's march relived I f "The March" doesn't ensure E.L. Doctorow a Nobel Prize in literature sometime in the near future, I can't imagine what would. Though I try to approach the books I review objectively, I have to admit that myoexpectations were high for Doctorow's latest novel, "The March," when I picked it up. I've been fond of Doctorow for a long time. He taught me how much the contemporary novel was capable of doing and what the fictionalized past could mean to the present-day. His novels "Ragtime" and "City of God" rank high on my list of great American novels, post-1965. Novels like "Billy Bathgate" and "The Waterworks" are brilliant, highly imagined works of historical fiction full of personality and insight, not to mention a deep sense of compassion and some glimmer of hope for mankind. I enjoyed "The March" just as I thought -or maybe hoped -I would. The novel is Doctorow's fictionalized account of Union Gen. William Sherman's devastating 60,000-man march through the South at the end of the Civil War. During that time, the general and his troops destroyed or killed virtually everything and everybody they came across. It's a story of war and destruction, sweeping in scope and hypnotic in tone. The novel is narrated by a number of different and wholly unique voices, all of them forceful and highly subjective, which bring a particular perspective to the story's events. The most interesting character in the novel, and the closest we get to an actual protagonist, is Pearl. She is a light-skinned, newly freed slave who joins Sherman's march and falls helplessly and hopelessly in love with a white Union soldier in the midst of Sherman's relentless campaign. Surprisingly, the James novel reminds me of Fleming Francis Ford Coppola's Off the Press "Apocalypse Now." heavenuealligator.org Though Doctorow's locale is the American South during the Civil War and not Southeast Asia at the height of the Vietnam War, it has that same jarring, nauseous feel to it. It bombards us with images of annihilated countrysides and stark visions of a relentless human war machine in progress, which Doctorow imagines here as being more of a living organism than a machine, a particularly modem life form entirely dedicated to death and destruction. A plethora of rambling voices slipping into and finally fully emerging in confusion and madness leaves us with an overwhelming sense of the utter futility and the human necessity of whr and conquest. I couldn't help but notice that Sherman has more than a bit of Coppola's Col. Kurtz in him, yet another brilliant man driven crazy by power and trauma during wartime. Crow hits, redboy worth it Sheryl Crow Wildflower A&M She does it again -lyrics that are unforgettable, a voice that seems to have no boundaries and emotions that flows from every note. When listening to this album, or any other Sheryl Crow album, read along with the lyrics. It enhances the experience. "Bum like a cigarette hole inside my head, reminding me not to forget words words I'd never say." Crow intrigues her listeners with lines like this. She has a vast vocal range, but she uses her high range more in this album. Though lower range has a certain smokiness that is unique, and she should show it off more. The title track, "Wildflower," shows a side of Crow that is haunting. It is different from her traditional sound -it's vulnerable. Crow takes some worthwhile risks but showcases what she does best -an edginess sought by female performers. A few more trips to her lower vocal range would make the CD stronger, but even without them, the CD is a hit. redboy Save Me Unsigned The indie-folk sounds of the instrumentals blend with a voice built for the music. There are no pieces missing from this band. It's easy, however, for enthusiasm for the music to die halfway through the album. This album is monogamous to the band's sound -understandably because this it's debut album. It's an introduction to the band. Hopefully, the next one will have some variation. That is not to say the album is not enjoyable. Interest is perked with lyrics like "You are the light of my life, I am your lampshade." This band is comparable to Ani DiFranco and The Cranberries. I say The Cranberries mainly because of the opening track, "In Your Head." Caution to males: There are some feminist undertones in this album, but nothing that threatens your manhood.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2005 Leak's injury concerns Meyer -im uasey / Aiimgator starr UF quarterback Chris Leak is examined by team physician Pete Indelicato during the first quarter of the Gators' 35-3 win against Mississippi State after re-injuring his right shoulder. UF might need By LOUIS ANASTASIS Alligator Staff Writer Ianastasis@alligator.org It was 9 a.m. Tuesday on campus, and Chris Leak, instead of shouldering a backpack, wore a mammoth ice pack on his throwing shoulder. A precautionary decision or a necessary one? Leak's health is UF's burning topic as Louisiana State draws nearer. "I'm very concerned," Coach Urban Meyer said. No body part has become more scrutinized, analyzed or important as Leak's shoulder midway through the season. UF's conference title hopes rest on whether Leak will remain aggressive enough to run the full spread arsenal Saturday. Offensive coordinator Dan Mullen admits UF shied away from deep passes against Mississippi State because of the shoulder, but Leak appears a full go for Death Valley. "The shoulder feels real good, and I've just been focusing on our game plan for LSU and executing it," Leak said. "It happens all the time in football -I mean guys have MCL sprains and a lot worse than what I got. It's just one of those football things." While the shoulder has hindered Leak's durability, his arm has been fine at the start of practices. But the more throws to turn to Portis he logs, the sorer his shoulder becomes. It was this reality that prompted a numbing cortisone shot prior to the Bulldogs' game. If Leak somehow re-aggravates his injury Saturday, backup Josh Portis will be asked to run the entire offense. "I'm ready to be the quarterback of the University of Florida," Portis said. "That's what I said at the beginning of the season. You never know what's going to happen, so you just have to be ready when your number is called." "The shoulder feels real good, and I've just been focusing on our game plan for LSU and executing it." Chris Leak UF quarterback Arriving on campus as a Meyer recruit in December, Portis has been dubbed as the team's future quarterback by hoards of fans. Others gripe about his minimal playing time, saying his speed holds the key to the true spread offense. While the team is clearly Leak's, Portis has prepared for the worst-case scenario. "Chris is my boy," he said. "I wish the best for him. I ask him every day how he's doing. I hope he gets better. We sure need him. "I'll pray for him every night, but if my number' is called, I have to get them." Mullen has been working with Portis to increase his comfort zone with more facets of the offense. Still, at times, it is obvious he has miles to go. "He's a freshman and you're going to have plenty of growing pains with him," Mullen said. "He's going to make youngguy mistakes. He hasn't seen all those live looks. The one knock on Portis has been his passing. The reserve continued to inflate his gaudy rushing numbers against Mississippi State, but as it stands, he has logged 26 runs to 11 passes. "He's getting there, but he's an 18-year old who's a really athletic running quarterback out of high school," Mullen said. "You play to his strengths; you're just going to use everything he does best. "You don't see a lot of freshmen come in and light it up in the drop-back passing game." You also don't see many teams stay on course during mid-season if their starting arm .goes down. Leak understands that concept and doesn't plan on going anywhere. "I just love being out there with my teammates and that's the main thing," Leak said. "I never want to let those guys down, and I want to be out there with them having fun." Gators need aggressive defensive line to make Tigers bait on bayou ccording to the T-shirts they sport, it's no one but them. That mantra could prove true when the Gators make their first trip to Louisiana State since handing the Tigers the only loss of their 2003 championship season. The Tennessee win is long gone, and this week's game will decide UF's fate. The Gators, a 6-point underdog, will need a struggling offense to put up big points against the most blitz-happy, aggressive defensein the conference. -However, LSU Coach Les Miles is already hearing whispers of being the conference's next Zooker. While I see the Gators offense sputtering early, this game stacks up favorably to the last time the Gators came up big in the bayou. In 2003, they were big underdogs on the road, and experts gave them zero chance at winning. UF was uncertainat the running back position, and defensive end Ray McDonald was flirting with returning from an injury in remarkable time. For Meyer to have any shot of coaching this team to victory, the defensive line will have to pressure quarterback JaMarcus Russell and create turnovers, because it will be hard for the offense to move the ball consistently 80-yards down the field on the ground. The Gators' defensive front has played lights out so far, and several players have stepped their games up faster than the Swamp Eric Esteban Tenacious E eesteban@aIligator.org Things nonchalantly filing out in the third quarter of the homecoming game. A zinger, but I understand how students had to get back to not doing anything. Mr. Champions Club, aka senior Jeremy Mincey, was named the SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week and is playing with a nonstop motor. Defensive tackle Marcus Thomas has been playing like a college-level Warren Sapp, and at linebacker, B-Siles has been nothing short of an All-American as a sophomore. But every member of the defense combined might not be able to resuscitate the team in front of a LSU home crowd still hankering for the team's first win in Baton Rouge this year, especially if the offense struggles behind Leak's tender right shoulder. UF's uncertainty at tailback should force offensive coordinator Dan Mullen to use the conference's deceptively top-ranked pass offense to light up the SEC's worst, but injuries could limit the options. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if the Gators dusted off some trick plays, and if the offensive line steps its game up to the level Meyer has asked. Then the buzzards flying over Death Valley could be dining on Tiger tail.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 21 VOLLEYBALL UF sweeps hapless Bulldogs By BRYAN JONES Alligator Writer Many UF volleyball fans probably thought it would be a long time coming before the home crowd would ever cheer for anyone donning red and black. Georgia head coach Steffi Legall and assistant coach Nicole McCray, however, received just that with friendly pre-game ovations from the Gators' faithful. Of course, if the Gators continue to take the bite out of the Bulldogs like they did Wednesday, the fans will find plenty of reasons to cheer. In what was about as friendly a contest as a UF-Georgia match-up could get, the No. 5 Gators (17-1, 7-0 Southeastern Conference) defeated Georgia (7-9, 2-4 SEC), 30-19, 30-19, 30-17, Wednesday night at the O'Connell Center. Legall and McCray were both All-Americans for the Gators and played for UF coach Mary Wise. "I don't think it's ever fun to play against your friends," Wise said. "But once the first serve starts, you forget all about it." That could be a little more difficult for McCray's sister, Amber, who is UF's starting right-side hitter. "We know they are going to come out, no matter how their season's going, and they are going to give us their best shot." Amber McCray UF outside hitter Amber said that while she enjoys defeating her sister's team, she just relishes the opportunity to see her sister faceto-face. "I think it would be different if she was actually playing, and I had to look across the net and see her," McCray said. "But we're just so excited to get to see each other so much more by her being in our league. The Gators were playing on two days rest, but historically UF plays well against Georgia. "We know they are going to come out, no matter how their season's going, and they are going to give us their best shot," McCray said. The Gators won each game by a margin of at least 11 points. But it took some late-game runs by Georgia to even keep the scores that close. Struggling to contain UF outside hitter Jane Collymore, the Bulldogs fell behind early and often. Collymore, a two-time All-American scorched the Bulldogs for 20 kills, 10 digs and three service aces on .567 hitting. As solid as those numbers are, Wise said Collymore's performance was even more impressive than any stat-sheet could indicate. "Wereallyknow [Collymorel is in a groove when she serves as well as she did, andJ she passed nails," Wise said. "It was an All-American performance tonight."

A Daughter's Guilt As a walk-on, Davis' family had to pay tuition for her to go to school, a fact that left her with a little bit of guilt. "She had opportunities to go out of state and have a full ride, albeit at a lower level school," her mother, Ann, said. "She felt bad that we were going to have to pay tuition after having paid for her club and all that kind of stuff through her younger years in high school and middle school." While Davis is now second on the team in service aces with 22 and fifth in digs with 131, the transition from high school to the college game wasn't a simple one. "It was really funny because my first day at practice, I was wide-eyed and moving all over the place and trying to do way too much," Davis said.

Hard Work Pays Off Davis was named to the Southeas tern Conference Academic Honor Roll her sophomore year and she has obviously come along way from those days when she was a wide-eyed freshman. Davis credits her consistent hard work as the reason she's gotten to where she is today. "It's definitely a plus [knowing] people say, 'Well maybe if you work hard and that's all you do, you don't ever get anything from it,"' Davis said. "Well that's a lie because I wouldn't be here, and I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing now if I didn't work hard and stay here all summer and work in the gym. It's definitely in direct relation to working hard." Pride of the Family The fact that she has found her niche in Gainesville is what has pleased her family the most. "She's happy, that's the main thing," her mother said. "We're happy that's she's happy, we're just proud." NxnnD @M Still suffering from a sore right tt ankle, UF receiver Jemalle -'Coroelius had to lease practice Wednesday and Coach Urban Meyer isn't certain whether he will play against LSU on Saturday. "He practiced today, then they palled /~ him out," Meyer said. "He got a little sore.' He's day-to-day." The loss of Cornelius, who suffered the injury during the Gators' 31-3 los5to Alabama on Oct. 1, would further hinder a receivingcorps that already lost its No. 2 option, Andre Caldwell, tooa broken leg. Meyer in still waiting for somebody to assume Cornelius' role. "Gavin [Dickey] is getting more involved, [as is] Tate Casey and [freshman] Nyan Boateng," Meyer said. "But no one is stepping upand taking it." ,' THE MAC IS BACK?: Meyer said defensive end Ray McDonald practiced again on Wednesday, and .though it's not probable, the junior could possibly play against the Tigers. "Possibly, but I don't think that's going to happen." said Meyer of McDonald playing Saturday. "We want to ds what's right for him. "Ray did some things today, but he's day-to-day as well. You've goonso do what's right by the young man." WYNN IS IN: Meyer said junior tailback DeShawn Wynn played well during his first full practice in nearly two weeks. Still suffering from a sore shoulder, Wynn is back after not practicing last week. "He's sore, but he practiced hard today," Meyer said. "Today was his first real hard day of practice where he was going through the whole hard deal. He had a good day today."

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2005 U ALLIGATQg, 23 Little d Cme der that could Track star earns volleyball success By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer dtreat@alligatororg You spot her out on the court with her blonde ponytail pulled tight, sporting orange and blue Nike Shox and the No. 2 sewn onto her back, and you may wonder, "How did she get out there?" She stands at just 5-foot-7, if your program is to be believed, and many of those around her stand at 6-foot or above. "This girl is a volleyball player?" you silently wonder. "There's no way." When she is introduced as a starter from Austin, Texas, you become more confused. How can this girl possibly compete? The match begins, and the opposing outside hitter drills a ball that is shooting towards the corner of the court. She dives frantically to her left and completes a perfect pass to the setter, resulting in a Gators point. "OK, now I get it," you think to yourself. That likely won't be the last thing that surprises you about junior Rhian Davis, UF defender extraordinaire. "I like being the short, quirky, speedy little thing," Davis said. Track Star Beginnings A former pole vaulter, a walkon, and a Gator almost by accident, Davis spent a majority of her first two years on the bench, learning from those around her. "I think when you sign up for this you have that realiza,o\\eyO/ tion in the back of your head that you're not going to be the Feature all-star," Davis said. "You're going to have to sit back and you're going to have to learn. "I was never really disappointed in the fact that I wasn't playing because I knew that I still had a long way to come to earn that right of playing." She may have had a long way to go on the court, but she already had come so far to be in Gainesville in first place. And from someone whose own mother described her as "gritty", would you expect anything less? Davis was actually more highly recruited in track than volleyball. She was the 2002 regional champion in the pole vault and finished second in the state of Texas that year with a vault of 11 feet 3 inches, a Bowie High School record. But with a GPA just as high as any cross beam -4.0 to be exact -Davis -could gain admission to most universities with her academics as well as athletics. Fated for the Gators? When Davis decided that she wanted to play elite level college volleyball, a twist of fate started her on the path to UF. "In the recruiting process in high school, all kinds of schools will send you their camp pamphlets," Davis said. "And I said, 'Well, the first two camp things that I get, those will be the camps that I go to.' "So Florida's was first and North Carolina's was second." A Legend Takes Notice That fact riay have been even more impressive to UF Coach Mary Wise, who singled her out as a spark plug in a Gators victory over Ole Miss earlier this year SEE DAVIS, PAGE 22 Tim Casey/ Alligator Staff UF defensive specialist Rhian Davis, a 5-foot-7 former walk-on, has -become a major asset to the Gators.
