UF 17 ? LSU 21



UF buried in



Death Valley

By LOUIS ANASTASIS

BATON ROUGE, La. Urban Meyer's face froze. He re-
mained expressionless for a few moments before quivering
and, ultimately, shedding a tear.
The confidence-oozing general had finally hit a slick
spot on the self-esteem highway.
How was he supposed to answer ques-
ti6ns about the worst start to a season in
his coaching career?
How was he supposed to defend a
spread offense that is shredding itself in a
Southeastern Conference mulcher?
After about 20 seconds of silence,
Meyer regained some of his composure,
Meyer uttering the following:
"I think Chris Leak struggled a little
bit, but I thought our receivers struggled as well."
As did the offensive line, the offensive coordinators and
seemingly everyone not a member of UF's defense.
In what was the latest nail in UF's spread-offense coffin,
in its Southeastern Conference title hopes, the Gators fell to
Louisiana State 21-17.
"We just didn't take advantage of the opportunities we
had," said Leak, who rushed for -32 yards. "We made too
many mistakes."
UF's offense was moving against LSU; it was just going
in the wrong direction.
The Gators now seem to have the offensive moonwalk

Breast cancer survivors form the ribbon of solidarity Saturday morning in Northeast Park before the
second annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk.


Cancer survivors unite for walk


By KATY LAYTON
Alligator Contributing Writer

Once a nationally ranked junior
triathlete, Cheri Ann Peterson didn't
finish first, second or third but
she finished.
Peterson was one of hundreds
of cancer survivors and supporters
who walked or ran to the finish
line at the Making Strides Against
Breast Cancer event in Gainesville
on Saturday.


A black hat with long ribbons
covered her bald head.
"This is my hair," she said, smil-
ing as she toyed with the ribbons.
Fellow cancer
Student survivors greeted
Ac hiSiB her with hugs, kiss-
es and a breast can-
cer-awareness ribbon as she glided
through the sea of people in pink,
looking tired but full of spirit.
The noncompetitive walk began
at 9 a.m. at Northeast Park, 400 NE


16th Ave., to raise awareness and
money for breast cancer research.
Peterson is a UF alumna who
majored in dance performance and
ran track and cross country for UF
for two years. She was diagnosed
in 1999 at age 25 with an aggressive
case of breast cancer.
She battled the disease and was
in remission for four years until
2003, when it reappeared as tumors
in her brain's frontal lobe, an area

Kanye West pulls no hot-button political punches at UF


* WEST SAID 'N-WORD' 14 TIMES.

By MARIA LAVERGHETTA
Alligator Contributing Writer

While Kanye West's concert at the Stephen
C. O'Connell Center on Thursday was an en-
tertainment success, he did not shy.away from
any of the issues that stirred tensions on UF's
campus last month despite a campaign for
censorship by a student group.

The three-time Grammy winner played 27
songs to a West Florida-record crowd of about
4,811 against a backdrop of protest, alcohol-re-

During the show, West reaffirmed his
controversial comments about President Bush
despite a protest by UF College Republicans
held outside the O'Connell Center.
At a telethon for Hurricane Katrina victims,
less than a week before the announcement of
his UF show, West said the president "doesn't
care about black people."


During "All Falls Down," West changed
"white man" to "George Bush" in the lyric
"Drug dealer buy Jordans, crackhead buy
crack, and a white man get paid off of all of
that."
College Republicans Chairwoman Ashlee

of racism" and that "in that aspect, he is very
un-American."

Student conference engages
Asian American activism
The open-mic troupe Exhale
urged attendees to "know your
role" and discredit stereotypes at
the second annual Southeastern
Regional Conference of Asian
American Leaders on Friday.
Over the weekend, workshops
and speakers taught 170 guests
from eight states and 13 schools
how to build and protect a cohe-
sive Asian American community
and identity in the Southeast.
At the open-mic portion of
the opening ceremony at Gator
Nights, conference guest Anida
Rouquiyah Yoeu Esguerra and
her husband held a round-robin
poetry performance.
"I think that art is a very active
way of engaging the audience and
bringing issues in such a way that
doesn't pound people over the
head," Esguerra said.
On Saturday, leaders of the
Asian American community
conducted workshops in keeping
with the conference's title, "Turn It
Up! Educate, Expand, Empower,"
teaching techniques for advocacy
on college campuses.
Conference co-director Michael
Wong said some students believed
the conference workshops were
not at the proper level.

STUDENT LIFE

Python picks on UF student


By VANESSA GARCIA
Alligator Contributing Writer

Even a 911 operator couldn't be-
lieve what Elizabeth LaFoe found
in her kitchen Thursday night.
"The dispatcher didn't believe
me at first," LaFoe said. "She kept
asking, 'Are you sure?'"
What the UF freshman found
was a 2-foot live ball python coiled
in the drain of her kitchen sink at
Looking Glass Apartments.
Upon discovering the .snake,
LaFoe ran to her neighbor, UF ju-
nior James Golden, to ask for help.
"At first I thought it was a liz-
ard," Golden said. "Then it moved,
and I knew it was something big-
ger. When I saw the pattern on the
scales, I jumped back."
LaFoe said she trapped the hiss-
ing python under a dish-drying
rack and heavy math textbook.
Golden said he hurriedly tried
to remember the riddle about
snakes he had learned as a child.
"Black over red is a friend of
Fred," Golden said. "Black over
yellow will kill a fellow."
As the snake continued to move,
both decided to call for help.
"I told her to call an extermina-
tor," Golden said. "I didn't know if
it was poisonous, so I didn't want
to touch it."
LaFoe dialed 911 around 11 p.m.


While waiting for police to ar-
rive, LaFoe said her imagination
ran wild.
She remembered watching a
recent newscast about a snake
in Florida that had eaten an al-
ligator.
"The police kept calling back to
make sure it was still there and that
I was OK," she said.
"At first I thought it was a
lizard. Then it moved and
I knew it was something
bigger."
James Golden
UFjunior

About an hour and a half later,
four Gainesville Police squad cars
pulled into the parking lot of
Looking Glass Apartments, 111
NW 16th St.
GPD officer Ronnie Hartley, a
former snake owner, said he im-
mediately recognized the snake as
a ball python.
"It's about the width of a golf
ball," Hartley said. "They have
teeth but aren't venomous."
"It's not that common, but
sometimes they get loose and pay
a visit," he added.
Police attempted to push the
snake out of the drain with a


clothes hanger, but the animal
wouldn't move.
Officers at the scene were forced
to unscrew the garbage disposal to
remove the snake, Hartley said.
"If she turned on the garbage
disposal, it would have jumped up
to bite her," he said.
The snake slithered around in a
brown shopping bag while officers
used their radios to find it a more
appropriate home.
Because ball pythons are not
found in the wild locally, Hartley
said he suspects that the snake is
probably a neighbor's missing pet.
"About three weeks ago we had
a similar call about a snake in a vent
at another apartment," Hartley
said. "They like the water."
GPD was unable to contact a
local couple known as the "snake
busters," who usually handle snake
problems and house them after
-they are captured, Hartley said.
After LaFoe's encounter,
the snake was taken to the UF
Veterinary Medical Center.
A group of LaFoe's neighbors
.curiously crowded her apartment
door to see the snake.
LaFoe's neighbor, UF junior Joe
Bushong, said he was disturbed by
the entire situation.
"Every time I sit my butt down
on a toilet, I'm going to think about
this," Bushong said.


Starke unites art


By ALEXIS LLOYD
Alligator Writer

Bright patches of M&M's,
butterflies and apples stood
out over primary colors,
contrasting the brick path on
North Walnut Street in Starke.
This learning quilt was
one of many Gypsy Queen
Quilt creations Elizabeth
Strickland presented during
the SFCC Starke Fall Festival
on Saturday and Sunday.
"[The festival] couldn't
have been better," said
Strickland, a reference librar-
ian at SFCC. "I was in a great
spot on this historic road sur-
rounded by beautiful homes
and amazing landscaping."
Strickland said she was
excited about the feedback she
received about her quilting,
which she began five years
ago.
"It is inspirational and
encouraging having people
come up to me and tell me,
'Your work is so beautiful,'"
she said.
Event organizer Kathryn
Lehman said the festival's


success was due to Mother
Nature.
"I personally can't take'
credit for the great weather,"
Lehman said. "I am very
thankful for it because it makes
everyone out here happier."
Lehman hoped students
would be inspired by all the
art forms, which ranged from
silverware to photography.
SFCC studio art major,
Shannon Davis came to the
festival to come up with new
approaches
Santa Fe to pottery.
Community "It's in
College teresting to
look at other
types of me-
diums and come up with ideas
on how to convert them to my
concentration," Davis said.
"I like to take things that
realistically wouldn't be made
out of clay and make them a
reality," she said. "I mean, who
has ever seen a quilt made out
of clay?"
The 20th annual festival
drew more than 75 artists,
who shared their artwork with
about 12,000 visitors.

STUDENT LIFE

SG budget may not have room for health program


By KATE WILKINSON
Alligator Contributing Writer

Future UF programs could face difficulties
getting funding from tuition reserves. A new
health program has already felt the pinch.
Student Government does not have as
much student-tuition money to allocate to
new health programs this year, Student Body
Treasurer Lindsay Cosimi said.
One new program that could be affected
is the Healthy Gators 2010 initiative, a local
branch of a nationwide program designed to
promote health in all aspects of life.
Healthy Gators 2010 is separate from
GatorWell, which already receives funding
from student tuition as a Student Health Care
Center program.
GatorWell focuses on health concerns
such as alcohol, tobacco and other drugs,
nutrition services, sexual health and stress
reduction.
The missions of the two programs overlap,
but the Healthy Gators initiative is much more
comprehensive, said Jane Emer6e, spokes-


woman for Healthy Gators 2010 and director
of GatorWell.
Healthy Gators 2010 is intended to unite
UF's health programs and all organizations in-
terested in health to make UF a health-friendly
environment.
If the funding from SG comes up short, the
initiative may have to look for other resources.
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita raised natural
gas prices, forcing SG to pay higher electric-
ity bills for the SHCC and the Reitz Union,
Cosimi said.-
"It's affected our ability to produce new
programs," Cosimi said.
Another factor driving SG's allocation of
funds is the rise of minimum wage in Florida
after last year's election, Cosimi said. This
raise, which was not anticipated by SG, means
workers at the Union and SHCC must be paid
$1 more per hour, from $5.15 to $6.15.
With the numbers adding up, the budget
simply does not have the extra money for
many new initiatives, Cosimi said.
"There's going to be a crunch this year,"
Cosimi said. "Incentives like this one could be


the first thing to go."
Several colleges, such as the College of
Health and Human Performance, have given
the initiative start-up money. It also received
funds from the SHCC's programming fund,
said Vladimir Oge, chairman of programming
for Healthy Gators 2010.
"There's going to be a crunch this
year. Incentives like this one could
be the first thing to go.".
Lindsay Cosimi
UF Student Body Treasurer

"This initiative is quite unique in the
amount of resources being allocated," Oge
said. "The strength isn't in the allocation of
money but in the time and resources that
people give."
Thursday marked the first of five meet-
ings to discuss setting the student Activity &
Service Fee for the 2006-2007 school year.
The fee is broken up into three categories:
an activity, athletics and health fee. In the past,


each fee had its own committee that would
meet and then apply to SG for an increase in
funding.
This year, the committees are being com-
bined and one overall committee, consisting
of faculty and students, will decide how to
distribute the money to each fee area. SG is
allowed to increase the fee by no more than 95
cents this year, Cosimi said.
"SG has not devoted any funds toward us
at the moment," Emer&e said. "Right now we
don't have a whole lot of money. The vision is
that we gather grant money."
Healthy Gators 2010 will hold a kickoff
event Oct. 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the
Reitz Union Colonnade. .The organizational
health fair will have $5 student flu shots, stress
screening and information about a variety of
health programs.
Chris Machen, wife of UF President
Bernie Machen and chair of the'steering
committee for Healthy Gators. 2010, will
speak at noon. SHCC officials estimate
about 500 students, faculty and staff will
attend the event.

* PARTY PATROL SEEKS
THE ROWDIEST EVENTS.

By STEPHANIE RODRIGUEZ
Alligator Writer
srodriguez@alligator.org

There are four words most
party-hard students dread to
hear when they are drinking and
having a good time.
"The cops are here" has stu-
dents jetting right through the
front door before they are about
to win the longest-held keg stand
in partying history.
Party Patrol, the group of
Gainesville Police officers who
regulate parties, spends its
nights searching for Gainesville's
rowdiest parties.
"We're trying to make the city
a place that everyone can live
in," said GPD detective Jamie
Rohrbaugh.
However, Aaron Andree, 22,
believes GPD is wasting its time
trying to break up parties.
"I think there are worse prob-
lems in the city than underage
drinking," Andree said.
Andree's brother kyle was
given a written arrest Saturday
for having an open house party
with an underage drinker.


"J just don't think it's fair that
my brother has to sit in back of a
police car when these [expletive]
should be busting crack dealers,"
he said. '"We were just celebrat-
ing our friend's 21st birthday."
Kyle Andree was not taken to
the police station.
Party Patrol doesn't only ar-
rest underage drinkers.
"You wouldn't believe the
amount of rape predators we've
encountered because we hap-
pened to be at the right place at
the right time," Rohrbaugh said.
He said students should be
aware of who they let into their
parties.
Around The y
Gainesville think that
we're picking
on them when we're really not,"
. Rohrbaugh said. "We're trying to
keep neighborhoods safe."
Kyle Andree has a court date
with either a fine or commu:
nity service because he lives in the
house where the party took place.
"I think it's [expletive] that

Gators hindered by penalties, missed opportunities


Tim Casey/ Alligator Staff
LSU's Jessie Daniels keeps close cover on UF receiver Dallas
Baker during the second quarter of Saturday's game.


FOOTBALL, from page 1

penalties, sacks and third-
down longs galore.
Saturday, UF's offense was
anemic at best. Its receivers.
rarely strayed for long passes.
Neither could the Gators execute
one successful option or shovel
pass play, not to mention run a
reverse or two. It was a 3-and-
long funeral for UF, which was
1 for 12 on third downs after the
first drive of,the fourth quarter.
The only positive for the
Gators was tailback DeShawn
Wynn. The junior rushed for 93
yards and a touchdown, enough
production for Meyer to dub him
the team's official starter after the
game. Still, besides that...
"Our offense," Meyer said, "is
terrible."
Leak played with a sore shoul-
der, but not even that seemed to
explain his 11-of-30 passing. He
finished with 107 passing yards,
the worst numbers of any start in
his UF career.
He was running for his foot-
ball life on most plays, the offen-
sive line continuing to struggle.
The Gators added four more
sacks to their SEC-leading if


that is the appropriate way to
describe it 24 sacks allowed.
"You're really not supposed
to be able to do that," said Meyer
of the Tigers' incessant blitzkrieg
strategy. "Our checkers were
[supposed to be] even with their
checkers."
But the offensive line was
hardly the only thing wrong
with the offense. Even when
Leak had time to find a receiver,
he never seemed to find any kind
of groove. Overthrows, under-
throws and misreads cluttered
the field.
In UF's last two games
against tough SEC competition
- Alabama and LSU Leak
passed 27 of 67 for 294 yards.
"We didn't execute the way
we could have," Leak said. -
The offense's struggles were
epitomized by UF's second-to-
last series. With 4:02 remaining
to assemble a drive from their
own 6-yard line, the Gators were
called for three penalties in a
span of five plays. Soon UF faced
third and 20 a checkmate for
Saturday's game and perhaps for
the season.
"It's unacceptable, 'and we
have to get better at it," Meyer
said.


West altered lyrics to censor self, attack President Bush


KANYE, from page 1

Student Union, pledged to start a letter-writ-
ing campaign to West asking him not to use
the word.
BSU President Marie Denise Jean-Louis
attended the show and said the petition went
forward, but declined further comment.
In "Gold Digger," an audience favorite,
West replaced the "n-word" with "broke" in
the first two choruses. However, the crowd
cheered as he yelled the chorus twice at the
end of the song without changing the lyrics.
Dunn said there is no official stance by
the O'Connell Center concerning BSU's ef-
forts and that in no way were any of West's
lyrics censored.
UF President Bernie Machen's own cam-
paign against binge and underage drinking


seemed to dash with- West's request for 10
bottles of alcohol.
In February, Student Government re-
fused to grant requests by Snoop Dogg be-
cause the tuition-funded Activity & Service
Fee that SG controls cannot be used to buy
alcohol.
However, West
was paid to appear .by
UF and the O'Connell
'v Center, a branch of the
--J university's Finance and
1 i Administration office,
Which has a different
West stance on granting alcohol
to performers.
"We provided absolutely no alcohol to
[the performers] last night," Dunn said.,
"There are always things they ask for in the
rider, but that doesn't mean that we can give
it to them."


A rider is the list of needs and amenities
requested by an artist as part of the contract
to be honored at the venue hosting the event.
For Snoop Dogg, the copy of the rider pro-
vided to the Alligator had all requests for
alcohol crossed off. West's rider did not.
"There have been times when that request
(for alcohol) has been granted," he said, cit-
ing for singer Elton John, his requested bottle
of wine would have been provided.
Packaging science sophomore Natalie
Lopez said she loved the concert even
though her favorite artist, previously an-
nounced opening act rapper Common, did
not perform.
Common signed a movie deal and
dropped out of the tour just hours before its
kickoff Oct. 11, according to MTV.com
"But Kanye definitely made up for it,"
she said. "He even got a 60-year-old woman
in front of me to stand up and get down."

that controls behavior and mood,
leaving her with poor judgment and
impulse control.
"I turned into a crazy person," she
said. "My parents thought I was hav-
ing a breakdown."
By the time she realized she had
cancer again, it had spread to her
lungs, liver and bones. After taking a
three-month break from chemothera-
py, the cancer attacked her ovaries
and an area behind her right eye.
Last December, Peterson, nearly
blind in her right eye, faced death in
the hospital with her rightoarm com-
pletely paralyzed and fluid around
her heart, she said.
"The doctors said I would never
receive the use of my right arm again,
thatI would never see out of my right
eye again and that I would probably
not even leave the hospital," she said.
Peterson proved them wrong. Still
going through chemotherapy, she is
able to move her arm and see out of
both eyes.
She continues to volunteer and
participate in races and walks, such as
Making Strides. !
About 1,000 attended the second
annual Making Strides, hosted by the
American Cancer Society. Participants
raised $85,000, exceeding the goal of
$60,000.
Making Strides began in 1993 in
Massachusetts, but this is only the
second year. the event was held in
Gainesville with a focus on breast
cancer. Saturday's walk focused on
awareness for young women.
Jackie Secula, the event's team
recruitment chairwoman, was happy
about the turnout.
"I have no more tears, I have cried
all day," she said. "If you can't feel
[the hope] when you come out here,
you can't feel."

Editorial


Missing e-mail

UF officials fail to educate

students on options
T he Editorial Board isn't worried about classwork or uni-
versity deadlines; we can't access our UF WebMail, so
we're assuming it just doesn't exist.
Apparently, our current e-mail problems stem from the
solution of an e-mail problem past.
After months of planning, UF officials recently enacted the
new rule that students cannot forward their university mail to
other e-mail accounts, such as AOL and Hotmail.
Over the years, important e-mails from UF have been de-
leted from such accounts because the services tagged them as
spam.
Outlawing those services seemed like the perfect solution; it
put the responsibility on the students to check their UF accounts
and eliminated the danger of the deletion of UF e-mails.
So whAt happens when all those conscientious students
actually check their mail through WebMail?
It overloads, and thousands of faculty and students are un-
able to get any e-mail, much less those important ones.
We think officials went about this whole thing the wrong
way.
Did they ever consider that university e-mails are spam?
The UF Wednesday updates, department listserv announce-
ments and Patricia Telles-Irvin outbursts weigh in at about the
same level as penis-enlargement advertisements on our scale
of informative.
AOL had it right all along. Delete the extraneous and leave
room for the important stuff. It is a feature we will dearly miss.
But for the sake of argument, we'll assume the university
sends some important messages.
However, the method of dealing with the situation is ques-
tionable.
First of all, the idea of using a standalone e-mail client, such
as Microsoft Outlook, should have been pushed all along.
In Friday's article, UF Coordinator for Computer Systems
Control Frances McDonell said, "WebMail was never meant to
be the primary method students use to access their GatorLink
accounts."
McDonell goes on to say that someone said students
should use WebMail, and officials are now trying to battle that
perception.
But we've never heard anything but administrators tell-
ing us to use WebMail as the primary way to access e-mail.
It was only recently that a link appeared on the login page of
WebMail, touting the benefits of standalone e-mail clients.
However, that explanation reads more like a public-service
announcement than a set of beneficial instructions. If you don't
know how to use standalone e-mail clients, or if you don't
know what they are, this little essay is really not going to help.
It focuses on telling students that WebMail is not a primary
provider; instead, it is the "convenience store" of e-mail.
That's very helpful.
Officials took away students' easiest options for retrieving
UF e-mail, then lamented how WebMail can't be used as a pri-
mary method to check GatorLink e-mail.
It seems as though there was a huge gap between those
who run WebMail and those who spoke about WebMail.
Perhaps other options should have been researched before
implementing the current plan.
But the past is over; officials can correct this problem by
giving students easy instructions on how to set up Outlook
or Eudora.
Perhaps that link on the login page could serve a real pur-
pose.
The responsibility for all this continues to be muddled, but
one thing is clear: Communication in all forms failed in this
venture, and now is the time to correct it.

Avian flu poses realistic threat to U.S.


If you're not scared, then you're not paying attention.
A new threat stands ready to bring about the sec-
ond coming of the Dark Ages, and it makes nuclear
war seem civilized.
The World Health Organization believes that avian flu
is acquiring the ability to move easily between humans
and could cause a pandemic of biblical proportions, claim-
ing millions to tens of millions of lives:
You've probably heard that already, but it gets worse. -
Some strains of the virus in Southeast Asia have already
developed a resistance to a vaccine that many countries
are stockpiling. Producing a new vaccine in significant
quantities would take at least four to six months.
The flu is already creeping in through Europe's back
doors, such as eastern Romania. The U.S. government is
moving to action, and there's talk about using the military
to quarantine entire states if the disease reaches our shores.
But there's a subplot to this story, and it's worthy of a
James Bond flick.
This month, U.S. researchers resurrected- a copy of the
1918 Spanish flu virus in a frighteningly bizarre bit of sci-
ence fiction that involved digging up tissue samples from
World War I soldiers and an Alaskan eskimo.
The Spanish flu killed as many as 50 million people fast-
er than any other disease in human history and left a greater
death toll in a few months than AIDS has in 24 years.
Researchers mapped out the genome of the virus and
decided to make it publicly available to scientists. The
choice to publish was made because of the Spanish flu's
similarities to the bird flu, and the information could lead
to a more effective vaccine quicker.
But maybe the advantages don't outweigh the risks.
Richard Ebright, a bacteriologist at Rutgers University,
said in the weekly science journal "Nature" that there is


a risk "verging on inevitability" of
an accidental release of the virus or
of it being stolen by a "disgruntled,
disturbed or extremist laboratory
employee."
Viruses have escaped labs be-
Matt Melone fore, as SARS did in both Taiwan
Taking Up Arms and Singapore. Ebright 'also men-
letters@alligator.org tioned the possibility that a hostile
nation could create its own version
of the virus.
And let's not forget why biological weapons are some-
times called the "poor man's bomb." Biological warfare is
far easier and far cheaper than building a nuclear arsenal.
A moderately sophisticated research lab could get the job
done and order some of the necessary DNA sequences
through the mail.
So, if you're Osama bin Laden and have a whole lot of
money, too much free time and a desire to wipe that silly
grin off America's face, why waste your time with nukes?
A nuclear attack on a major U.S. city would be devas-
tating, but the release of a virus on par with the Spanish
flu would bring this nation to its knees. It would be like
the sequel to the sacking of Rome, except far bigger and
uglier.
If America is- spared the wrath of the bird flu, we
shouldn't waste time counting our blessings. We cannot
grow complacent in the face of other biological threats that
could unhinge the whole of Western civilization.
In a world where money and the instructions to recre-
ate doomsday viruses can travel from Atlanta to Algeria in-
seconds, it's a splendid time to be a bad guy.
Matthew Melone is a journalism and political science major.
His column appears on Monday.

Letters to the Editor
Bush's role as president and leader
makes him responsible for FEMA action
It seems to me that it's Matt Sanchez who
needs a reality check. His recent opinion piece
seems to suggest George W. Bush hasn't been
responsible for anything at all since he's been
in office.
This is a typical perspective on an adminis-
tration where the buck stops nowhere.
Let's take the case of the response to
Hurricane Katrina. While the president doesn't
personally direct the response, he did appoint
an entirely unqualified crony to lead the or-
ganization (Federal Emergency Management
Agency) responsible for that task.
Sanchez said that responding to Katrina
forced Bush to take "time off from running the
country." Mr. Sanchez, responding to massive
natural disasters IS running the country.
If it is true that Bush is not responsible for
any of the massive mistakes that have hap-
pened under his watch, then he is not only not
a dictator he's no leader at all.
It's long overdue for Bush and his defend-
ers to take responsibility for their actions and
inactions.

Protest of West concert unwarranted
I don't understand why students protested
Kanye West's recent concert at the Stephen
C. O'Connell Center. I don't particularly like
Kanye West's music, nor do I agree with his
recent political comments, but I still believe he
has every right to perform at this university.
It seems like those who protested the con-
cert need a lesson in tolerance.
Some of the protesters seemed to see the


event as a forum to protest the entire genre
of rap. When Rascal Flatts performed at the
O'Connell Center, did I feel the need to go out
and protest because I personally dislike coun-
try music? No, because that would have been
a ridiculously ignorant thing to do.
When the O'Connell Center hosted a huge
Christian festival (the name escapes me) a
few years back, did I go and protest because I
may not believe in what they do? No, because
they had every right to use that facility. As did
Kanye West.
If you came to UF thinking every guest
speaker, performer or visiting celebrity would
reflect your own personal beliefs and views, I.
feel sorry for you.
Part of the college experience is diversity.
Exposing yourself to different viewpoints and
ideals, even if you don't agree with them, is
a part of life. It's how Gators for Israel and
Nakba 48 can exist on the same campus.
If you don't like a particular visiting ce-
lebrity, simply don't go see them. I don't like
Kanye West, so I didn't attend his concert. If
you don't agree with a celebrity's opinion,
that's no reason to protest his very presence on
campus. Why would you want to keep some-
one else from experiencing something enjoy-
able to them, simply because their opinions
and tastes differ from yours?

Fetuses are dependent on mother for life
In Thursday's letter to the editor, Kendal
Hutto wrote that Andy Marlette should re-
search, his opinions, followed by the absurd
notion that "fetuses have bodies just like nor-
mal people.. .and functioning life systems."


By researching the developmental stages
of a fetus, you would find evidence to the
contrary. In the first month, the fetus has bulbs
and a neural tube that will eventually develop
into the extremities and nervous system. The
basics of lung and heart tissues begin to dif-
ferentiate; hardly enough to call a body.
After three more months, the fetus is still
dependent on the mother to supply it with the
nutrients required for life. Its own "function-
ing life systems" are still too underdeveloped
to support itself.
It is either a self-delusional lie to justify
personal beliefs or complete ignorance to sug-
gest that for the 14 weeks abortions can be per-
formed, a fetus is "just like a normal person."
Check your sources.

Abortion choice comes before pregnancy
In Friday's letter section, Steven Flood Jr.
made a. very good point. Abortion is about a
woman's right to "make [her] own decisions,
especially regarding [her] own reproductive
systems." However, I would have to disagree
with him on exactly which choice to support.
The pro-choice side of the argument would
have you believe the only decision is, "Should
I keep the baby or kill it?" To view this as the
only choice available is pure ignorance.
The real question that should be answered
is, "Should I get pregnant in the first place?"
Women do have the ability to choose not to en-
gage in sexual activity. And as with all choices,
this carries consequences if the wrong decision
is made.
Abortion has become many people's "get
out of jail free" card when it comes to sex and


pregnancy; it is used to make poor choices
without having to worry about the conse-
quences. Never mind this flippant attitude
leads to the death of a human they created
through their own carelessness.
The argument that we should regulate
abortion because it happens anyway does
not hold water. Given an immoral act, we
should not legalize it simply because people
will end up doing it anyway. Murder is il-
legal,, yet people are still murdered. Does it
follow that we should legalize murder in the
United States?
In another letter, Eric Steele tossed out the
figure that prior to Roe v. Wade "17 percent of
all female deaths related to pregnancy were
due to botched abortions. In these cases, both
. the baby and mother died. Is this what pro-lif-
ers want...?" Though the question is rhetori-
cal, I'm going to answer it with a resounding
no. We do not want anybody to die as the re-
sult of poor choices. These deaths could easily
have been avoided if the women had simply
made healthy life choices.
Steele's argument goes hand-in-hand
with another point of Flood's, who claims we
should not be worried about the death toll of
abortions since there are many children who
die of starvation every day. Are we to believe
that his argument essentially boils down to
"Other people are dying too, so let's not worry
about these particular deaths?"
This entire issue stems from a lack of per-
sonal accountability among today's citizens.
People need to step up and take responsibility
for their own actions. The next generation of
children depends on it.

UF 17 I


I} LSU 21


Wynn, Herring provide bright moments on gloomy day


By ERIC ESTEBAN and
ANDREW ABRAMSON
Alligator Staff Writers

BATON ROUGE, La. After
experimenting for seven games
with a running back-by-committee
approach, UF coach Urban Meyer
finally found his guy in junior
DeShawn Wynn.
Wynn was expected to be the
top back before the season started,
but work ethic issues that had
plagued him for two years re-
turned this season.
Now, the veteran has finally
emerged to claim the starting gig.
"Our run game showed up, so
you can really say that we got a
running back at Florida," Meyer
said. "I just had a long talk with
him, and Florida needs a tail-
back."
Meyer has started up to three
different running backs this year,
and with Wynn favoring a sore
shoulder during the week, it
seemed unlikely that his break out
game would come against a de-
fense allowing a scant 62.5 yards a
game on the ground.heading into
Saturday's game.
While most of UF's offense did
little in the Gators' 21-17 loss to
Louisiana State, Wynn had 16 car-
ries for 98 yards and a touchdown.
It was his ability to hit the rushing
lanes that set him apart from the
rest of the competition.
Wynn also ended his season-
long standoff with the media, say-
ing he decided to speak up since he
finally proved himself.


Tim Casey/Alligator Staff
UF safety Jarvis Herring is tackled by LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell as he returns a fumble to the
LSU 32-yard line. The Gators lost 21-17 to the Tigers in Baton Rouge, La.


"At the beginning of the game,
Coach Meyer told me to step it up,
and I took it personally," he said.
"With the way I was running hard,
and the line opening up a lot more
holes, I think he has a lot more con-
fidence in me."


Ray Mac Barely Back
The winks kept coming and
coming, but in the end it wasn't
enough. Junior defensive end Ray
McDonald, who hadn't played
since partially tearing the ACL in
his right knee, hinted to coaches all
week that he could be ready to go


by game time. Despite warming
up and seeing action for only a
few plays, the effects of his knee
surgery still lingered.
"He'll be ready for Georgia, but
he tried to go as hard as he could,"
Meyer said.
While McDonald wasn't able to


contribute, his two replacements
played the best game of their
careers. Sophomore Jarvis Moss
recorded three sacks, one of which
caused a fumble that he recovered.
Junior Joe Cohen recorded the
first sack of his career and con-
stantly pressured LSU quarterback
JaMarcus Russell throughout the
game. His constant presence in the
pocket paid off when he intercept-
ed a deflected pass at the line, also
the first interception of his career.

Don't blame the spread
After Saturday's 21-17 loss to
LSU, quarterback Chris Leak re-
fused to criticize Meyer's spread
offense that had so much success
at Utah but has done little in the
SEC.
"Everybody has bought into
it," Leak said. "We've just got to
get more comfortable and make
the plays when we have the op-
portunity."

Herring's big day
While an emotional Urban
Meyer may have had little to
be positive about following
Saturday's 21-17 loss to LSU,
he praised strong safety Jarvis
Herring who had one of the best
games of his career. At
Herring's fumble recovery and
interception led to UF's only two
touchdowns of the game. Without
those contributions, the Gators
could have been looking at another
blowout loss like the 31-3 suffered
at Alabama two weeks a,


Emotional Gators taste bitter defeat, leave Meyer pondering next move


BATON ROUGE, La. Can you really
blame Urban Meyer for wanting to bawl
after UF's pitiful offensive performance
against LSU?
Meyer fought back tears in the postgame
interview, but they weren't tears of rage. These
were tears of confusion and bewilderment.
For the first time in Meyer's previously
flawless coaching career, the bitter and skunky
taste of defeat filled the 40-year-old's mouth..
The last time Meyer failed like this, he was
half his current age and trying to jumpstart a
career in the Atlanta Braves organization.
The difference is that Meyer's first failure
was a personal dissapointment. This time, he
had a locker room full of slain giants who
spent months trying to air out the stench of a
losing atmosphere that has plagued UF fopt-

comes the fastest freshman in NCAA
history to rush for 1,000 yards, eclips-
ing the mark in the seventh game of
his collegiate career.


ball since Steve Spurrier parted ways nearly
four years ago.
After Saturday's game, a stunned Marcus
Thomas couldn't comprehend the numbers 5
and 2, UF's tarnished record. -
"This year, it hurts real bad," he said. "We
were on the road to not losing any games."
That's how it stands right now, and while
Gator Nation cries along with Meyer, every-
one's trying to figure out whom to blame.
In the past everyone blamed Ron Zook. So
why not blame Meyer this time around?
The difference is that Meyer came to UF
with a glorified resume.
That's what makes this fall from grace so
stunning. And if you think I'm finding too
much fault with a 5-2 record, review UF's two
losses.

Andrew
Abramson
Drew's Control


Saturday's 21-17
score is mislead-
ing. Without Jarvis
Herring's interception
and fumble recovery
that put UF's offense in
prime field position, it
easily could have been
21-3.


aabramson@alligator.org Last season, in the
four losses suffered
under Zook, the Gators
lost by a combined 19 points. The Zooker
always said a play here, a play there and UF
would have been undefeated.
Nobody cared about Zook's claims in the -
off-season, because the Gators were replac-
ing a Chrysler Sebring with a Lamborghini


U With UF's offense faltering in Satur-
day's loss to LSU, a staunch defensive
effort couldn't lead the Gators to vic-
tory. See story at alligatorSports.org


Diablo. Suddenly, the Gators' offense would
become the greatest show this side of Vegas.
But nothing the Gators have tried to do
seems to work against quality teams.
Will Meyer's spread offense ever work in
the SEC?
Did everyone exaggerate the talent of UF's
roster? Was the injured Andre Caldwell really
that key of an ingredient?
Or how about this: does Meyer know the
answer to any of the above?
The Gators are lost right now, but expect
Meyer to eventually figure out the SEC.
- But try telling that to players like Marcus
Thomas and Jarvis Herring, who won't be
around for a long-term rebuilding project.
That's why Meyer's crying. His players
bought into a system that's simply not ready.

You Decide. sReCyClO MONDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2005 U F 17 LSU 21 Death Va ley By LOUIS ANASTASIS Alligator Staff Writer [anastasis@aligator.org BATON ROUGE, La. -Urban Meyer's face froze. He remained expressionless for a few moments before quivering and, ultimately, shedding a tear. The confidence-oozing general had finally hit a slick spot on the self-esteem highway. How was he supposed to answer questions about the worst start to a season in his coaching career? How was he supposed to defend a spread offense that is shredding itself in a Southeastern Conference mulcher? After about 20 seconds of silence, Meyer regained some of his composure, Meyer uttering the following: "I think Chris Leak struggled a little bit, but I thought our receivers struggled as well." As did the offensive line, the offensive coordinators and seemingly everyone not a member of UF's defense. In what was the latest nail in UF's spread-offense coffin, in its Southeastern Conference title hopes, the Gators fell to Louisiana State 21-17. "We just didn't take advantage of the opportunities we had," said Leak, who rushed for -32 yards. "We made too many mistakes." UF's offense was moving against LSU; it was just going in the wrong direction. The Gators now seem to have the offensive moonwalk down pat -a methodical backward movement laced with SEE FOOTBALL, PAGE 5 By KATY LAYTON Alligator Contributing Writer Once a nationally ranked junior triathlete, Cheri Ann Peterson didn't finish first, second or third -but she finished. .Peterson was one of hundreds of cancer survivors and supporters who walked or ran to the finish line at the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event in Gainesville on Saturday. A black hat with long ribbons covered her bald head. "This is my hair," she said, smiling as she toyed with the ribbons.

By MARIA LAVERGHETTA Alligator Contributing Writer While Kanye West's concert at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center on Thursday was an entertainment success, he did not shy-away from any of the issues that stirred tensions on UF's campus last month despite a campaign for censorship by a student group. The three-time Grammy winner played 27 songs to a West Florida-record crowd of bout 4,811 against a backdrop of protest, alcohol-related controversy and racial undercurrents. During the show, West reaffirmed his controversial comments about President Bush despite a protest by UF College Republicans held outside the O'Connell Center. At a telethon for Hurricane Katrina victims, less than a week before the announcement of his UF show, West said the president "doesn't care about black people." During "All Falls Down," West changed "white man" to "George Bush" in the lyric "Drug dealer buy Jordans, crackhead buy crack, and a white man get paid off of all of that." College Republicans Chairwoman Ashlee Black said that West's statements on television and during the concert "further the problem of racism" and that "in that aspect, he is very un-American." O'Connell Center Associate Director Darius Dunn said he did not hear West's excerpt concerning President Bush. However, he did hear the 34 expletives West used, as well as the 14 instances of the "n-word." Last month, controversy erupted about an editorial cartoon in the Alligator that depicted Condoleezza Rice using the "n-word" to criticize West's remarks about President Bush. in response, the UF administration publicly decried use of the word,. and some predominantly black student groups, such as the Black SEE KANYE, PAGE 5 UF student killed on road home from Louisiana A UF student died Sunday while driving home from seeing the Gators play in Baton Rouge.

2, ALLIGATOR N MONDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2005 News Today LOCAL Student conference engages Asian American activism The open-mic troupe Exhale urged attendees to "know your role" and discredit stereotypes at the second annual Southeastemn Regional Conference of Asian American Leaders on Friday. Over the weekend, workshops and speakers taught 170 guests from eight states and 13 schools how to build and protect a cohesive Asian American community and identity in the Southeast. At the open-mic portion of the opening ceremony at Gator Nights, conference guest Anida Rouquiyah Yoeu Esguerra and her husband held a round-robin poetry performance. "I think that art is a very active way of engaging the audience and bringing issues in such a way that doesn't pound people over the head," Esguerra said. On Saturday, leaders of the Asian American communi ty conducted workshops in keeping with the conference's title, "Turn It Up! Educate, Expand, Empower," teaching techniques for advocacy on college campuses. Conference co-director Michael Wong said some students believed the conference workshops were not at the proper level.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 3 STUDENT LIFE Py~thon picks on UF student By VANESSA GARCIA Alligator Contributing Writer Even a 911 operator couldn't believe what Elizabeth LaFoe found in her kitchen Thursday night. "The dispatcher didn't believe me at first," LaFoe said. "She kept asking, 'Are you sure?"' What the UF freshman found was a 2-foot live ball python coiled in the drain of her kitchen sink at Looking Glass Apartments. Upon discovering the snake, LaFoe ran to her neighbor, UF junior James Golden, to ask for help. "At first I thought it was a lizard," Golden said. "Then it moved, and I knew it was something bigger. When I saw the pattern on the scales, I jumped back." LaFoe said she trapped the hissing python under a dish-drying rack and heavy math textbook. Golden said he hurriedly tried to remember the riddle about snakes he had leaked as a child. "Black over red is a friend of Fred," Golden said. "Black over yellow will kill a fellow." As the snake continued to move, both decided to call for help. "I told her to call an exterminator," Golden said. "I didn't know if it was poisonous, so I didn't want to touch it." LaFoe dialed 911 around 11 p.m. While waiting for police to arrive, LaFoe said her imagination ran wild. She remembered watching a recent newscast about a snake in Florida that had eaten an alligator. "The police kept calling back to make sure it was still there and that I was OK," she said. "At first I thought it was a lizard. Then it moved and I knew it was something bigger." James Golden U Junior About an hour and a half later, four Gainesville Police squad cars pulled into the parking lot of Looking Glass Apirtments, 111 NW 16th St. GPD officer Ronnie Hartley, a former snake owner, said he immediately recognized the snake as a ball python. "It's about the width of a golf ball," Hartley said. "They have teeth but aren't venomous." "It's not that conunon, but sometimes they get loose and pay a visit," he added. Police attempted to push the snake out of the drain with a clothes hanger, but the animal wouldn't move. Officers at the scene were forced to unscrew the garbage disposal to remove the snake, Hartley said. "If she turned on the garbage disposal, it would have jumped up to bite her," he said. The snake slithered around in a brown shopping bag while officers used their radios to find it a more appropriate home. Because ball pythons are not found in the wild locally, Hartley said he suspects that the snake is probably a neighbor's missing pet. "About three weeks ago we had a similar call about a snake in a vent at another apartment," Hartley said. "They like the water." GPD was unable to contact a local couple known as the "snake busters," who usually handle snake problems and house them after they are captured, Hartley said. After LaFoe's encounter, the snake was taken to the UF Veterinary Medical Center. A group of LaFoe's neighbors curiously crowded her apartment door to see the snake. LaFoe's neighbor, UF junior Joe Bushong, said he was disturbed by the entire situation. "Every time I sit my butt down on a toilet, I'm going to think about this," Bushong said. Starke unites art By ALEXIS LLOYD Alligator Writer Bright patches of M&M's, butterflies and apples stood out over primary colors, contrasting the brick path on North Walnut Street in Starke. This learning quilt was one of many Gypsy Queen Quilt creations Elizabeth Strickland presented during the SFCC Starke Fall Festival on Saturday and Sunday. "[The festival] couldn't have been better," said Strickland, a reference librarian at SFCC. "I was in a great spot on this historic road surrounded by beautiful homes and amazing landscaping." Strickland said she was excited about the feedback she received about her quilting, which she began five years ago. "It is inspirational and encouraging having people come up to me and tell me, 'Your work is so beautiful,'" she said. Event organizer Kathryn Lehman said the festival's success was due to Mother Nature. "I personally can't take credit for the great weather," Lehman said. "I am very thankful for it because it makes everyone out here happier."' Lehman hoped students would be inspired by all the art forms, which ranged from silverware to photography. SFCC studio art major, Shannon Davis came to the festival to come up with new approaches Santa Fe to pottery. Community "It's inComlege teresting to look at other types of mediums and come up with ideas on how to convert them to my concentration," Davis said. "I like to take things that realistically wouldn't be made out of clay and make them a reality," she said. "I mean, who has ever seen a quilt made out of clay?" The 20th annual festival drew more than 75 artists, who shared their artwork with about 12,000 visitors. Do friends and family think you worry too much?

4, ALLIGATOR E MONDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2005 STUDENT LIFE SG budget may not have room for health program By KATE WILKINSON Alligator Contributing Writer Future UF programs could face difficulties getting funding from tuition reserves. A new health program has already felt the pinch. Student Government does not have as much student-tuition money to allocate to new health programs this year, Student Body Treasurer Lindsay Cosimi said. One new program that could be affected is the Healthy Gators 2010 initiative, a local branch of a nationwide program designed to promote health in all aspects of life. Healthy Gators 2010 is separate from GatorWell, which already receives funding from student tuition as a Student Health Care Center program. GatorWell focuses on health concerns such as alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, nutrition services, sexual health and stress reduction. The missions of the two programs overlap, but the Healthy Gators initiative is much more comprehensive, said Jane Emerfe, spokeswoman for Healthy Gators 2010 and director of GatorWell. Healthy Gators 2010 is intended to unite UF's health programs and all organizations interested in health to make UF a health-friendly environment. If the funding from SG comes up short, the initiative may have to look for other resources. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita raised natural gas prices, forcing SG to pay higher electricity bills for the SHCC and the Reitz Union, Cosini said. "It's affected our ability to produce new programs," Cosimi said. Another factor driving SG's allocation of funds is the rise of minimum wage in Florida after last year's election, Cosimi said. This raise, which was not anticipated by SG, means workers at the Union and SHCC must be paid $1 more per hour, from $5.15 to $6.15. With the numbers adding up, the budget simply does not have the extra money for many new initiatives, Cosini said. "There's going to be a crunch this year," Cosimi said. "Incentives like this one could be the first thing to go." Several colleges, such as the College of Health and Human Performance, have given the initiative start-up money. It also received funds from the SHCC's programming fund, said Vladimir Oge, chairman of programming for Healthy Gators 2010. "There's going to be a crunch this year. Incentives like this one could be the first thing to go." Lindsay Cosimi UF Student Body Treasurer "This initiative is quite unique in the amount of resources being allocated," Oge said. "The strength isn't in the allocation of money but in the time and resources that people give." Thursday marked the first of five meetings to discuss setting the student Activity & Service Fee for the 2006-2007 school year. The fee is broken up into three categories: an activity, athletics and health fee. In the past, each fee had its own committee that would meet and then apply to SG for an increase in funding. This year, the committees are being combined and one overall committee, consisting of faculty and students, will decide how to distribute the money to each fee area. SG is allowed to increase the fee by no more than 95 cents this year, Cosimi said. "SG has not devoted any funds toward us at the moment," Emer6e said. "Right now we don't have a whole lot of money. The vision is that we gather grant money." Healthy Gators 2010 will hold a kickoff event Oct. 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the Reitz Union Colonnade. The organizational health fair will have $5 student flu shots, stress screening and information about a variety of health programs. Chris Machen, wife of UF President Bernie Machen and chair of the 'steering committee for Healthy Gators 2010, will speak at noon. SHCC officials estimate about 500 students, faculty and staff will attend the event.

By STEPHANIE RODRIGUEZ Alligator Writer srodriguez@alligator.org There are four words most party-hard students dread to hear when they are drinking and having a good time. "The cops are here" has students jetting right through the front door before they are about to win the longest-held keg stand in partying history. Party Patrol, the group of Gainesville Police officers who regulate parties, spends its nights searching for Gainesville's rowdiest parties. "We're trying to make the city a place that everyone can live in," said GPD detective Jamie Rohrbaugh. However, Aaron Andree, 22, believes GPD is wasting its time trying to break up parties. "I think there are worse problems in the city than underage drinking," Andree said. Andree's brother lkyle was given a written arrest Saturday for having an open house party with an underage drinker. "I just don't think it's fair that my brother has to sit in back of a police car when these [expletive] should be busting crack dealers," he said. "We were just celebrating our friend's 21st birthday." Kyle Andree was not taken to the police station. Party Patrol doesn't only arrest underage drinkers. "You wouldn't believe the amount of rape predators we've encountered because we happened to be at the right place at the right time," Rohrbaugh said. He said students should be aware of who they let into their parties. Around T h e y GtIiS~ j[[[f think that we're picking on them when we're really not," Rolrbaugh said. "We're trying to keep neighborhoods safe." Kyle Andree has a court date with either a fine or community service because he lives in the house where the party took place. "I think it's [expletive] that you can get stuff on your record because somebody that you don't know shows up at your party," he said. Rohrbaugh said Kyle Andree was lucky because police could have taken him to jail. /E $20 TODAY )0 THIS WEEK! Msav e lea Iaongr A n month lapse donors.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 5 Gators hindered by penalties, missed opportunties I | Tim Casey/ Alligator Staff LSU's Jessie Daniels keeps close cover on UF receiver Dallas Baker during the second quarter of Saturday's game. FOOTBALL, frompage 1 penalties, sacks and thirddown longs galore. Saturday, UF's offense was anemic at best. Its receivers rarely strayed for long passes. Neither could the Gators execute one successful option or shovel pass play, not to mention run a reverse or two. It was a 3-andlong funeral for UP, which was 1 for 12 on third downs after the first drive ofthe fourth quarter. The only positive for the Gators was tailback DeShawn Wynn. The junior rushed for 93 yards and a touchdown, enough production for Meyer to dub him the team's official starter after the game. Still, besides that "Our offense," Meyer said, "is terrible." Leak played with a sore shoulder, but not even that seemed to explain his 11-of-30 passing. He finished with 107 passing yards, the worst numbers of any start in his UF career. He was running for his football life on most plays, the offensive line continuing to struggle. The Gators added four more sacks to their SEC-leading -if that is the appropriate way to describe it -24 sacks allowed. "You're really not supposed to be able to do that," said Meyer of the Tigers' incessant blitzkrieg strategy. "Our checkers were [supposed to be] even with their checkers." But the offensive line was hardly the only thing wrong with the offense. Even when Leak had time to find a receiver, he never seemed to find any kind of groove. Overthrows, underthrows and misreads cluttered the field. In UF's last two games against tough SEC competition -Alabama and LSU -Leak passed 27 of 67 for 294 yards. "We didn't execute the way we could have," Leak said. The offense's struggles were epitomized by UF's second-tolast series. With 4:02 remaining to assemble a drive from their own 6-yard line, the Gators were called for three penalties in a span of five plays. Soon UF faced third and 20 -a checkmate for Saturday's game and perhaps for the season. "It's unacceptable, 'and we have to get better at it," Meyer said. West altered lyrics to censor self, attack President Bush KANYE, from page I Student Union, pledged to start a letter-writing campaign to West asking him not to use the word. BSU President Marie Denise Jean-Louis attended the show and said the petition went forward, but declined further comment. In "Gold Digger," an audience favorite, West replaced the "n-word" with "broke" in the first two choruses. However, the crowd cheered as he yelled the'chorus twice at the end of the song without changing the lyrics. Dunn said there is no official stance by the O'Connell Center concerning BSU's efforts and that in no way were any of West's lyrics censored. UF President Bernie Machen's own campaign against binge and underage drinking seemed to clash with, West's request for 10 bottles of alcohol. In February, Student Government refused to grant requests by Snoop Dogg because the tuition-funded Activity & Service Fee that SG controls cannot be used to buy alcohol. However, West was paid to appear by UF and the O'Connell Center, a branch of the university's Finance and Administration office, which has a different stance on granting alcohol to performers. "We provided absolutely no alcohol to [the performers] last night," Dunn said. "There are always things they ask for in the rider, but that doesn't mean that we can give it to them." A rider is the list of needs and amenities requested by an artist as part of the contract to be honored at the venue hosting the event. For Snoop Dogg, the copy of the rider provided to the Alligator had all requests for alcohol crossed off. West's rider did not. "There havebeen times when that request (for alcohol) has been granted," he said, citing for singer Elton John, his requested bottle of wine would have been provided. Packaging .science sophomore Natalie Lopez said she loved the concert even though her favorite artist, previously announced opening act rapper Common, did not perform. Common signed a movie deal and dropped out of the tour just hours before its kickoff Oct. 11, according to MTV.com "But Kanye definitely made up for it," she said. "He even got a 60-year-old woman in front of me to stand up and get down." Say "Dance Marathon order Domino's Pizza Sthe independent florida alll gaUtoir WE INFORM. YOU DECIDE Childkrns.

"I turned into a crazy person," she said. "My parents thought I was having a breakdown." By the time she realized she had cancer again, it had spread to her lungs, liver and bones. After taking a three-month break from chemotherapy, the cancer attacked her ovaries and an area behind her right eye. Last December, Peterson, nearly blind in her right eye, faced death in the hospital with her right'arm completely paralyzed and fluid around her heart, she said. "The doctors said I would never receive the use of my right arm again, that I would never see out of my right eye again and that I would probably not even leave the hospital," she said. Peterson proved them wrong. Still going through chemotherapy, she is able to move her arm and see out of both eyes. She continues to volunteer and participate in races and walks, such as Making Strides. About 1,000 attended the second annual Making Strides, hosted by the American Cancer Society. Participants raised $85,000, exceeding the goal of $60,000. Making Strides began in 1993 in Massachusetts, but this is only the second year. the event was held in Gainesville with a focus on breast cancer. Saturday's walk focused on awareness for young women.

6, ALLIGATOR E MONDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2005 Editorial Missing e-mail UF officials fail to educate students on options he Editorial Board isn't worried about classwork or university deadlines; we can't access our UF WebMail, so we're assuming it just doesn't exist. Apparently, our current e-mail problems stem from the solution of an e-mail problem past. After months of planning, UF officials recently enacted the new rule that students cannot forward their university mail to other e-mail accounts, such as AOL and Hotmail. Over the years, important e-mails from UF have been deleted from such accounts because the services tagged them as spam. Outlawing those services seemed like the perfect solution; it put the responsibility on the students to check their UF accounts and eliminated the danger of the deletion of UF e-mails. So what happens when all those conscientious students actually check their mail through WebMail? It overloads, and thousands of faculty and students are unable to get any e-mail, much less those important ones. We think officials went about this whole thing the wrong way. Did they ever consider that university e-mails are spam? The UF Wednesday updates, department listserv announcements and Patricia Telles-Irvin outbursts weigh in at about the same level as penis-enlargement advertisements on our scale of informative. AOL had it right all along. Delete the extraneous and leave room for the important stuff. It is a feature we will dearly miss. But for the sake of argument, we'll assume the university sends some important messages. However, the method of dealing with the situation is questionable. First of all, the idea of using a standalone e-mail client, such as Microsoft Outlook, should have been pushed all along. In Friday's article, UF Coordinator for Computer Systems Control Frances McDonell said, "WebMail was never meant to be the primary method students use to access their GatorLink accounts." McDonell goes on to say that someone said students should use WebMail, and officials are now trying to battle that perception. But we've never heard anything but administrators telling us to use WebMail as the primary way to access e-mail. It was only recently that a link appeared on the login page of WebMail, touting the benefits of standalone e-mail clients. However, that explanation reads more like a public-service announcement than a set of beneficial instructions. If you don't know how to use standalone e-mail clients, or if you don't know what they are, this little essay is really not going to help. It focuses on telling students that WebMail is not a primary provider; instead, it is the "convenience store" of e-mail. That's very helpful. Officials took away students' easiest options for retrieving UF e-mail, then lamented how WebMail can't be used as a primary method to check GatorLink e-mail. It seems as though there was a huge gap between those who run WebMail and those who spoke about WebMail. Perhaps other options should have been researched before implementing the current plan. But the past is over; officials can correct this problem by giving students easy instructions on how to set up Outlook or Eudora. Perhaps that link on the login page could serve a real purpose. The responsibility for all this continues to be muddled, but one thing is clear: Communication in all forms failed in this venture, and now is the time to correct it. a l l indepe dnt florida Mite Gimignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR Emily Yehle OPINIONS EDITOR Tom Durrenberger, Scott Gilton, Andrew Meyer EDITORIAL BOARD The Alligator eneourages elements from reers.

Opinions ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/opinions Copyrighted Material 15 iSyndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" Column Avian flu poses realistic threat to U.S. f you're not scared, then you're not paying attention. A new threat stands ready to bring about the second coming of the Dark Ages, and it makes nuclear war seem civilized. The World Health Organization believes that avian flu is acquiring the ability to move easily between humans and could cause a pandemic of biblical proportions, claiming millions to tens of millions of lives: You've probably heard that already, but it gets worse. Some strains of the virus in Southeast Asia have already developed a resistance to a vaccine that many countries are stockpiling. Producing a new vaccine in significant quantities would take at least four to six months. The flu is already creeping in through Europe's back doors, such as eastern Romania. The U.S. government is moving to action, and there's talk about using the military to quarantine entire states if the disease reaches our shores. But there's a subplot to this story, and it's worthy of a James Bond flick. This month, U.S. researchers resurrecteda copy of the 1918 Spanish flu virus in a frighteningly bizarre bit of science fiction that involved digging up tissue samples from World War I soldiers and an Alaskan eskimo. The Spanish flu killed as many as 50 million people faster than any other disease in human history and left a greater death toll in a few months than AIDS has in 24 years. Researchers mapped out the genome of the virus and decided to make it publicly available to scientists. The choice to publish was made because of the Spanish flu's similarities to the bird flu, and the information could lead to a more effective vaccine quicker. But maybe the advantages don't outweigh the risks. Richard Ebright, a bacteriologist at Rutgers University, said in the weekly science journal "Nature" that there is Mat Melone Taking Up Arms letterscalligator.org a risk "verging on inevitability" of an accidental release of the virus or of it being stolen by a "disgruntled, disturbed or extremist laboratory employee." Viruses have escaped labs before, as SARS did in both Taiwan and Singapore. Ebright also mentioned the possibility that a hostile nation could create its own version of the virus. And let's not forget why biological weapons are sometimes called the "poor man's bomb." Biological warfare is far easier and far cheaper than building a nuclear arsenal. A moderately sophisticated research lab could get the job done and order some of the necessary DNA sequences through the mail. So, if you're Osama bin Laden and have a whole lot of money, too much free time and a desire to wipe that silly grin off America's face, why waste your time with nukes? A nuclear attack on a major U.S. city would be devastating, but the release of a virus on par with the Spanish flu would bring this nation to its knees. It would be like the sequel to the sacking of Rome, except far bigger and uglier. If America is -spared the wrath of the bird flu, we shouldn't waste time counting our blessings. We cannot grow complacent in the face of other biological threats that could unhinge the whole of Western civilization. In a world where money and the instructions to recreate doomsday viruses can travel from Atlanta to Algeria in seconds, it's a splendid time to be a bad guy. Matthew Melone is a journalism and political science major. His column appears on Monday. The views expressed here are not necessarily those of the Alligator.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 7 Letters to the Editor Bush's role as president and leader makes him responsible for FEMA action It seems to me that it's Matt Sanchez who needs a reality check. His recent opinion piece seems to suggest George W. Bush hasn't been responsible for anything at all since he's been in office. This is a typical perspective on an administration where the buck stops nowhere. Let's take the case of the response to Hurricane Katrina. While the president doesn't personally direct the response, he did appoint an entirely unqualified crony to lead the organization (Federal Emergency Management Agency) responsible for that task. Sanchez said that responding to Katrina forced Bush to take "time off from runrilng the country." Mr. Sanchez, responding to massive natural disasters IS running the country. If it is true that Bush is not responsible for any of the massive mistakes that have happened under his watch, then he is not only not a dictator -he's no leader at all. It's long overdue for Bush and his defenders to take responsibility for their actiOns and inactions. R. Michael Burns Gainesville resident Protest of West concert unwarranted I don't understand why students protested Kanye West's recent concert at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center. I don't particularly like Kanye West's music, nor do I agree with his recent political comments, but I still believe he has every right to perform at this university. It seems like those who protested the concert need a lesson in tolerance. Some of the protesters seemed to see the event as a forumn to protest the entire genre of rap. When Rascal Flatts performed at the O'Connell Center, did I feel the need to go out and protest because I personally dislike country music? No, because that would have been a ridiculously ignorant thing to do. When the O'Connell Center hosted a huge Christian festival (the name escapes me) a few years back, did I go and protest because I may not believe in what they do? No, because they had every right to use that facility. As did Kanye West. If you came to UF thinking every guest speaker, performer or visiting celebrity would reflect your own personal beliefs and views, I feel sorry for you. Part of the college experience is diversity. Exposing yourself to different viewpoints and ideals, even if you don't agree with them, is a part of life. It's how Gators for Israel and Nakba 48 can exist on the same campus. If you don't like a particular visiting celebrity, simply don't go see them. I don't like Kanye West, so I didn't attend his concert. If you don't agree with a -celebrity's opinion, that's no reason to protest his very presence on campus. Why would you want to keep someone else from experiencing something enjoyable to them, simply because their opinions and tastes differ from yours? Shane Weaver 4FA Fetuses are dependent on mother for life In Thursday's letter to the editor, Kendal Hutto wrote that Andy Marlette should research his opinions, followed by the absurd notion that "fetuses have bodies just like normal people. and functioning life systems." By researching the developmental stages of a fetus, you would find evidence to the contrary. In the first month, the fetus has bulbs and a neural tube that will eventually develop into the extremities and nervous system. The basics of lung and heart tissues begin to differentiate; hardly enough to call a body. After three more months, the fetus is still dependent on the mother to supply it with the nutrients required for life. Its own "functioning life systems" are still too underdeveloped to support itself. It is either a self-delusional lie to justify personal beliefs or complete ignorance to suggest that for the 14 weeks abortions can be performed, a fetus is "just like a normal person." Check your sources. Catherine Clark 3LS Abortion choice comes before pregnancy In Friday's letter section, Steven Flood Jr. made a.very good point. Abortion is about a woman's right to "make [her] own decisions, especially .regarding [her] own reproductive systems." However, I would have to disagree with him on exactly which choice to support. The pro-choice side of the argument would have you believe the only decision is, "Should I keep the baby or kill it?" To view this as the only choice available is pure ignorance. The real question that should be answered is, "Should I get pregnant in the first place?" Women do have the ability to choose not to engage in sexual activity. And as with all choices, this carries consequences if the wrong decision is made. Abortion has become many people's "get out of jail free" card when it comes to sex and pregnancy; it is used to make poor choices without having to worry about the consequences. Never mind this flippant attitude leads to the death of a human they created through their own carelessness. The argument that we should regulate abortion because it happens anyway does not hold water. Given an immoral act, we should not legalize it simply because people will end up doing it anyway. Murder is illegal, yet people are still murdered. Does it follow that we should legalize murder in the United States? In another letter, Eric Steele tossed out the figure that prior to Roe v. Wade "17 percent of all female deaths related to pregnancy were due to botched abortions. In these cases, both the baby and mother died. Is this what pro-lifers want.?" Though the question is rhetorical, I'm going to answer it with a resounding no. We do not want anybody to die as the result of poor choices. These deaths could easily have been avoided if the women had simply made healthy life choices. Steele's argument goes hand-in-hand with another point of Flood's, who claims we should not be worried about the death toll of abortions since there are many children who die of starvation every day. Are we to believe that his argument essentially boils down to "Other people are dying too, so let's not worry about these particular deaths?" This entire issue stems from a lack of personal accountability among today's citizens. People need to step up and take responsibility for their own actions. The next generation of children depends on it.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org UF 17 l2 LSU 21 Wynn, Herring provide bright moments on gloomy day By ERIC ESTEBAN and ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff Writers BATON ROUGE, La. -After experimenting for seven games with a running back-by-committee approach, UF coach Urban Meyer finally found his guy in junior DeShawn Wynn. Wynn was expected to be the top back before the season started, but work ethic issues that had plagued him for two years returned this season. Now, the veteran has finally emerged to claim the starting gig. "Our run game showed up, so you can really say that we got a running back at Florida," Meyer said. "I just had a lhng talk with him, and Florida needs a tailback." Meyer has started up to three different running backs this year, and with Wynn favoring a sore shoulder during the week, it seemed unlikely that his break out game would come against a defense allowing a scant 62.5 yards a game on the ground heading into Saturday's game. While most of UF's offense did little in the Gators' 21-17 loss to Louisiana State, Wynn had 16 carries for 98 yards and a touchdown. It was his ability to hit the rushing lanes that set him apart from the rest of the competition. Wynn also ended his seasonlong standoff with the media, saying he decided to speak up since he finally proved himself. i im uasey / Aligator start UF safety Jarvis Herring is tackled by LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell as he returns a fumble to the LSU 32-yard line. The Gators lost 21-17 to the Tigers in Baton Rouge, La."At the beginning of the game, Coach Meyer told me to step it up, and I took it personally," he said. "With the way I was running hard, and the line opening up a lot more holes, I think he has a lot more confidence in me." Ray Mac Barely Back The winks kept coming and coming, but in the end it wasn't enough. Junior defensive end Ray McDonald, who hadn't played since partially tearing the ACL in his right knee, hinted to coaches all week that he could be ready to go by game time. Despite warming up and seeing action for only a few plays, the effects of his knee surgery still lingered. "He'll be ready for Georgia, but he tried to go as hard as he could," Meyer said. While McDonald wasn't able to contribute, his two replacements played the best game of their careers. Sophomore Jarvis Moss recorded three sacks, one of which caused a fumble that he recovered. Junior Joe Cohen recorded the first sack of his career and constantly pressured LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell throughout the game. His constant presence in the pocket paid off when he intercepted a deflected pass at the line, also the first interception of his career. Don't blame the spread After Saturday's 21-17 loss to LSU, quarterback Chris Leak refused to criticize Meyer's spread offense that had so much success at Utah but has done little in the SEC. "Everybody has bought into it," Leak said. "We've just got to get more comfortable and make the plays when we have the opportunity." Herring's big day While an emotional Urban Meyer may have had little to be positive about following Saturday's 21-17 loss to LSU, he praised strong safety Jarvis Herring who had one of the best games of his career. -W Herring's fumble recovery and interception led to UF's only two touchdowns of the game. Without those contributions, the Gators could have been looking at another blowout loss like the 31-3 suffered at Alabama two weeks ab Emotional Gators taste bitter defeat, leave Meyer pondering next move B ATON ROUGE, La. -Can you really blame Urban Meyer for wanting to bawl after UF's pitiful offensive performance against LSU? Meyer fought back tears in the postgame interview, but they weren't tears of rage. These were tears of confusion and bewilderment. For the first time in Meyer's previously flawless coaching career, the bitter and skunky taste of defeat filled the 40-year-old's mouth. The last time Meyer failed like this, he was half his current age and trying to jumpstart a career in the Atlanta Braves organization. The difference is that Meyer's first failure was a personal dissapointment. This time, he had a locker room full of slain giants who spent months trying to air out the stench of a losing atmosphere that has plagued UF footW 1987: UF tailback Emmitt Smith becomes the fastest freshman in NCAA history to rush for 1,000 yards, eclipsing the mark in the seventh game of his collegiate career. ball since Steve Spurrier parted ways nearly four years ago. After Saturday's game, a stunned Marcus Thomas couldn't comprehend the numbers 5 and 2, UF's tarnished record. "This year, it hurts real bad," he said. "We were on the road to not losing any games." That's how it stands right now, and while Gator Nation cries along with Meyer, everyone's trying to figure out whom to blame. In the past everyone blamed Ron Zook. So why not blame Meyer this time around? The difference is that Meyer came to UF with a glorified resume. That's what makes this fall from grace so stunning. And if you think I'm finding too much fault with a 5-2 record, review UF's two losses. M Unexpected delays pushed back the debut of the UF basketball teams, but those who waited saw Corey Brewer win the dunk contest. See story at alligatorSports.org Andrew Abramson Drew's Control aabramson@alligator.org lost by a combined Saturday's 21-17 score is misleading. Without Jarvis Herring's interception and fumble recovery that put UF's offense in prime field position, it easily could have been 21-3. Last season, in the four losses suffered under Zook, the Gators 19 points. The Zooker always said a play here, a play there and UF would have been undefeated. Nobody cared about Zook's claims in the off-season, because the Gators were replacing a Chrysler Sebring with a Lamborghini E With UF's offense faltering in Saturday's loss to LSU, a staunch defensive effort couldn't lead the Gators to victory. See story at alligatorSports.org Diablo. Suddenly, the Gators' offense would become the greatest show this side of Vegas. But nothing the Gators have tried to do seems to work against quality teams. Will Meyer's spread offense ever work in the SEC? Did everyone exaggerate the talent of UF's roster? Was the injured Andre Caldwell really that key of an ingredient? Or how about this: does Meyer know the answer to any of the above? The Gators are lost right now, but expect Meyer to eventually figure out the SEC. I But try telling that to players like Marcus Thomas and Jarvis Herring, who won't be around for a long-term rebuilding project. That's why Meyer's crying. His players bought into a system that's simply not ready Check out the rest of the weekend's happenings, including a volleyball victory, a soccer defeat, the debut of the swimming teams and cross country action at alligatorSports.org
