Conservative author and speaker Ann Coulter autographs a
book after speaking at the Ronald Reagan Black Tie and Blue
Jeans BBQ on Thursday evening.
By JESSICA RIFFEL
Alligator Writer
jriffel@alligator.org
Ann Coulter, an outspoken
Republican pundit and author, ener-
gized and entertained more than 800
UF students and Alachua County
residents Thursday night at the third
annual Ronald Reagan Black Tie and
Blue Jeans BBQ.
The audience, decked out' in
patriotic garb and cowboy boots, fa-
natically surrounded Coulter before
dinner, asking her to pose with them
for pictures.
One woman caught Coulter's at-
tention by begging for a picture, say-
ing, "my husband loves you."
The Republicans got in the spirit of
the night while enjoying an SUV-size
trailer full of Budweiser beer.
Attendees paid between $25 and
$75 to attend the event; the latter price
included dinner. The money went to
the Alachua County Republican Party,
which paid $30,000 to have Coulter
speak.
Coulter mainly addressed weak-
nesses she saw in the Democratic
party.
"The Democrats complain about
the Republican base being nuts,"
Coulter said. "The nuts are their entire
party."
She warned attendees to not al-
low Democrats anywhere near
foreign policy, "not even to keep
them away from domestic policy."
Coulter defended the war in Iraq and
chastised Democrats for "demoraliz-
ing America."

Judge dismisses
Machen lawsuit
By JUSTIN RICHARDS
Alligator Writer
jrichards@alligator.org
A judge dismissed a lawsuit against UF President
Bernie Machen at a hearing Thursday. However, the
plaintiff vows to continue waging his legal battle.
"I am going to fight this until Machen
S and the university are in full compliance
with the law and this university acts as
an educational institution should," said
Charles Grapski, the UF instructor who
U. sued Machen for not complying with
Florida public records law.
The judge who heard the case, Robert
Grapski Roundtree, is on the advisory board
of the Center on Children and Families at the UF Levin
College of Law, as is Machen's wife, Chris.
By the time the Alligator learned of Roundtree's con-
nection to UF, officials were unavailable to comment on a
possible conflict of interest.
Grapski sued Machen after seeking records of the UF
administration's relationship with the private leadership
honorary Florida'Blue Key. Specifically, he sought infor-
mation about Student Government's hefty donation to
the FBK-produced pep rally Gator Growl in the form of
a ticket subsidy.
Grapski contends that FBK is not eligible to receive the
tuition-funded Activity & Service Fee that SG allocates
because it is a private, exclusive organization. Florida
statutes state that only all-inclusive groups are eligible
for A&S fees.

U.S. senator fights to keep oil drillers off Gulf Coast
* BILL NELSON ENCOURAGES USE
OF ETHANOL.
By JEFF SIRMONS
Alligator Staff Writer
jsirmons@alligator.org
A U.S. senator has led the offshore oil-drill-
ing debate in Florida, saying it will not lower
the price of gasoline, although his argument
has its share of critics.
Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., said there is not
enough drillable oil in the eatern Gulf of
Mexico to increase supply significantly, so

prices would not fall.
"Instead of drilling ourselves out of the
problem, we should invest more in alternative
fuel technology," Nelson said. "If we lessen
the demand for oil, prices should go down."
Nelson suggested industries replace oil
with a renewable resource such as ethanol,
which can be derived from prairie grass.
"We could start on ethanol as early as to-
morrow," he said.
Another proposed solution was clean
coal, which is used as a regular fuel source
in Germany, but Nelson said that couldn't
be developed for wide-scale use for another
decade.
"Instead of drilling ourselves out
of the problem, we should invest
more in alternative fuel technol-
ogy. If we lessen the demand for
oil, prices should go down."
Bill Nelson
Senator
Bill Bush, spokesman for the American
Petroleum Institute, disagreed with Nelson,
saying that enough oil exists off Florida's coast
to warrant drilling.

"[Drilling for oil off Florida's Gulf coast]
would tend to have a depressing effect on
prices," Bush said.
Since oil prices are based on uncertain
events, such as hurricanes, Bush couldn't
guarantee drilling would reduce wallet pres-
sure at the pump.
The Eastern Gulf contains 3.6 billion bar-
rels of oil, enough to supply Florida with oil
for almost 10 years, Bush said, referring to a
2000 survey of the Eastern Gulf conducted by
the Petroleum Institute.
The area also has 12.3 trillion cubic feet of

Grade proposal passes
By LYNDSEY LEWIS
Alligator Writer
llewis@alligator.org
UF students will soon see changes
in general-education requirements that
could determine whether or not they
graduate on time, after the UF Faculty
Senate passed a resolution Thursday
raising the university's minimum
grade requirement.
Starting next Fall, students who
earn below a C in any general-educa-
tion course will either have to re-take
the class or enroll in another lass that
offers the same general credits.
Although the'proposal ultimately
passed the Senate, almost half of the
body's members voted against it.
"I can't give students a grade now
that says, 'You're an average student,
but you passed the course.' I don't
like that," said Tim Davis, a professor
in the Department of Computer and
Information Science and Engineering.
The proposal, brought forth by
General Education Council Chairman
Andy McCollough, passed the Senate
by a margin of between two and four
votes.
Senate officials were initially unable
to determine which side had garnered
the most support, which resulted in ad-
ditional votes
U F on the issue.
Administration After the
Senate voted
for the third time, Senate Chairwoman
Kim Tanzer said she and other officials
were still unable to reach a consen-
sus on exactly how many votes had
been issued in favor of the proposal.
However, she said everyone agreed
there were more faculty members who
supported it than opposed it.
The requirement prohibiting stu-
dents from taking general education
courses with a grade requirement of
either satisfactory or unsatisfactory
will remain in place.
STUDENT LIFE
Conference put off by storm
* FEES WILL BE HONORED LATER.
By NICK PATRICK
Alligator Contributing Writer
Though their conference was rained out,
public relations students are not being hung
out to dry.
The Public Relations Student Society of
America's 2005 National Conference sched-
uled for this weekend has been postponed
due to Hurricane Wilma, but attendees will
receive a full refund for hotel and bus fees, said
Jennifer Robinson, faculty adviser for PRSSA.
"The national conference committee based
in New York has been meeting in Miami this
week and decided today to postpone," she
said. "The hotel very generously decided not
to hold students accountable for fees."
It is also likely that students will be able to
apply the upwards of $275 registration fee to-
ward the rescheduled date, which will be some-
time between January and March, she said.
Robinson said the students planning to
attend the conference which was to start
today were disappointed to miss an event
so beneficial to their future careers.
"There were 450 people in the parking lot,
bags packed, ready to go," she said. "They
were very excited for the professional devel-
opment they would receive, as well as the
social aspect."
Despite the initial disappointment, stu-
dents were grateful the correct decision was
made, said Brent Steinberg, national liaison
for the UF chapter of PRSSA.
"We were put in a very difficult situation,"
he said. "There was no foresight to see a hur-
ricane coming on this of all weekends, but
I think the executive board handled it very
well."
If the postponement decision had been de-
layed, Steinberg said the students might have
been in a precarious situation.
"The last thing we want is for students to
be stuck in Miami," he said.
The plan for reallocating students' con-
ference fees will be decided by the Public
Relations Society of America, the parent
organization of PRSSA, but Steinberg said
students shouldn't be concerned.
"I have no doubt that the decision will be
fair and equitable for everyone involved," he
said.

Hundreds of non-Muslims join Ramadan Fast-a-Thon
By DIANA MAZZELLA
Alligator Writer
dmazzella@alligator.org
It was the lack of water that
hurt them the most.
"I was getting really, really
thirsty," UF first-year medical stu-
dent Erin Manning said.
She and about 400 other non-
Muslims pledged to refrain from
eating, drinking, smoking and sex
Thursday for the Ramadan Fast-a-
Thon hosted by Islam on Campus,
said Omar Ishaq, one of the event
coordinators.
Gainesville businesses donated
between 10 cents and $1 for every
person who pledged to fast, Ishaq
said. Donors included Falafel
King and Farah's Restaurant.
The estimated $1,000 raised
will go to St. Francis House, a local
homeless shelter, he said.
"It's not just about the money,"
Ishaq said.
Group members could have
collected the money on campus,
but the event helped to raise
awareness and get people in-
volved in the hunger movement,
he said.
Ishaq said the event would
help attendees "concentrate not on

About 300 participants attend- able to break their fast when the
ed the dinner, said Sakil Hossain, Azzan, or call to prayer, started.
The Indian meal, catered by
Bismillah Restaurant in Orlando,
included dates, pita bread, hum-
mus, chicken, rice, vegetables and
pizza,.Hossain said.
Ishaq explained that Muslims
did not earn money for their fast be-
cause every Muslim in Gainesville
could have funds donated in their
name. Manning heard about the
event through friends and thought
it was a good idea. It was her first
fasting .experience.
She ate a large breakfast before
sunrise and returned to bed, she
said.
Finance senior Crystal Trevino
said she heard about the .event
through her Introduction to Islam
class.
She agreed-that going without
water was difficult.
Civil engineering Junior David
Thomas said it helped him to feel
hunger, even if it was only for one
day.
The Rev. Guy -Noonan, a
speaker at the event and as-
sociate pastor of St. Augustine
Church in Gainesville, said the
event was positive because it
brought different faiths together
to support each other and help
the community.

Cavanaugh said UF is consult-

t is now clear that Mother Nature has a vendetta against us.
But why does she have to play with us before she obliter-
ates mankind?
If we knew. what, we were in for, perhaps we could prepare
by digging-a spider hole, ducking underneath a school desk or
unleashing 100 willing virgins.
But Hurricane Wilma has changed its form so often we don't
know whether to prepare for the worst or just order another
keg.
At first, newscasters said it was a weak hurricane. Then it
became the strongest in history. They said it would hit South
Florida on Sunday, but now it will hit Monday.
We're just going to shed the fear and go camping.
So put on your yellow raincoats, fill a cooler with beer and tie
yourself to a sturdy tree as we begin this week's edition of...
Darts & Laurels
Keeping with the theme of natural disasters, we shoot a wa-
ter-only-hurts-witches-not-journalists DART at "Today".show
correspondent Michelle Kosinski for reporting on flooding in
Wayne, N.J., while riding in a canoe. During the NBC news seg-
ment, two men walked across the screen, making it obvious the
water wasn't even ankle-deep.
"Today" just reached a new low. OK, maybe that's an over-
statement. We were never interested in reports on menopause
and celebrities anyway.
Incompetence crosses into all professions, however, so
we hand a take-him-over-the-horizon-and-into-the-scalding-
heat-of-the-sunset LAUREL to Semester at Sea for accepting
Student Government Supervisor of Elections Daniel Maland,
thus enabling him to resign from his position.
Not only will Maland be prevented from ruining the Spring
election, he'll be thousands of miles away from wreaking havoc
on any SG event.
We only pray he isn't put in charge of the boat's radar sys-
tem. That could end in tragedy.
But Maland's absence doesn't mean UF won't continue to
struggle with technology.
We blast an everyone-else-does-it-so-why-is-our-university-
acting-like-a-caveman DART at UF officials for insisting that
credit cards will be on-campus dining's downfall.
They claim that the machines will raise prices and create
' long lines, thus deterring customers.
Let's get one thing straight. No one wants to eat on campus;
they only eat there as a convenience or a last resort. And prices
are already jacked up.
If every other business in Gainesville can survive the transi-
tion, we're guessing UF can cope.
Our university should look to Gainesville's mayor for an
example of bravery.
We bestow an iron-woman-doubling-as-solid-leader
LAUREL on Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan for returning to work
from her maternity leave a week early.
The City Commission seems to be at a loss without its leader,
deadlocking on several important issues while the mayor has
been away.
We think Hanrahan should bring the baby to commission
meetings and allow her to vote. It would make things more
interesting.
But while Gainesville politics may be boring, the federal
government is proving to be scarier than we thought.
We sling a conspiracy-theories-are-suddenly-beginning-to-
make-a-lot-of-sense DART at the U.S. government and Xerox
for making color printers that embed secret codes into printed
pages.
A consumer privacy group recently cracked the code, which
reveals the printer's serial number and the date and time the
page was printed.
We expected the government to be against us, but now we're
afraid of all our appliances.
From now on, we'll all be a little more careful about what we
do in the shower.

Bush's capability not gauged by polls
Do you approve of the way Bush is doing his job as
president?
More importantly, do you actually think your ap-
proval matters?
News outlets and pundits on all sides of the political
spectrum would like us to believe that a poll of 1,000 or so
random Americans is the best way to determine whether or
not a president is doing his job correctly.
This is the same sort of logic that has gotten football he-
roes and homecoming queens elected as presidents of high
school senior classes for years.
Maybe it seemed like a good idea at the time, but you
know you'll be sorry when it comes time for them to orga-
nize class reunions.
Popularity contests have little to do with job effectiveness,
and this is no exception.
But don't just take my word for it. There are plenty of
examples of exactly how realistic these polls are.
The most recent lull in Bush's approval rating eame
last month, owing primarily to views on his handling of
Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. In contrast, a slight peak
occurred later in the month, after Bush seemed to take more
interest in the aftermath of Hurricane Rita.
If you read between the lines, the message is this: A
president's approval rating is directly related to the number
of press appearances he stages before a poll is conducted.
Even the organizations that administer these polls admit
that events out of the president's control have an effect on
Americans' responses. Americans just don't admit these
events are out of the president's control.
The pessimism connected to the recent hurricanes and
rising gas prices is a key influence on Bush's low numbers.
Sure, some of the ill feelings about the hurricanes can be at-
tributed to perceptions of 'Bush's responses to relief efforts,
and some amount of the rising cost of gas could be explained
as a result of the war in Iraq and other incidents of American
involvement in the Middle East.
But a large factor in both of these
is the simple fact that Mother Nature
has been throwing hissy fits the past
few months.
Approval ratings don't even
matter when the president faces re-
Matt Sanchez moval from office. Remember when
In Moderation President Clinton was impeached?
msanchez@alligator.org A CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll
at the time showed his approval
ratings at a whopping 73 percent
- his all-time high despite the fact that 35 percent of those
surveyed also agreed with the House of Representatives'
decision to impeach him.
Assuming 100 percent is still as high as you can go, this
means at least 8 percent of those who approved of Clinton
also thought he should be impeached.
At least 2 percent also wanted the Senate to remove him
from office.
The most recent CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll revealed
Bush's support among Democrats has fallen to 8 percent.
Uh-oh. Democrats don't like Bush. Whatever will he do
now?
Frankly, Bush should consider it lucky that his approval
ratings from Democrats and liberals don't come back nega-
tive.
So the polls say we aren't very confident in Bush's ability
to do his job.
Tough. He's going to do it anyway.
Presidents are leaders leaders selected by the American
public as the best people for their job. Like all leaders, they
have no obligation to do what will be popular. Instead, they
must do what they feel must be done, regardless of what
anyone may think.
No poll will or should change that.
Matt Sanchez is a journalism senior. His column appears
on Friday.
The views expressed here are not necessarily those of the Alligator.
Today's question:
Do polls determine whether Bush
is doing his job correctly?
Thursday's question:

Tolerance a coward's way out of debate
In Tuesday's Alligator, Charles Nowell ex-
asperatingly pointed out to those embroiled
in the abortion debate that "the reason people
disagree about abortion is because of the dif-
ference in their views, not differences in fact."
I plead with anyone who is even remotely
tempted to prescribe to that philosophy to
reconsider; it is an awful way to live.
Either life begins at conception or it does
not. Either the life of a developing baby is
as valuable as that of any adult or it is not.
Throughout your entire life, look at the evi-
dence on an issue and believe in something.
Don't cower under bastardized tolerance
when the fact is we're either killing people
or we're not.

Marijuana not as harmful as prescription
I don't understand the war on drugs.
In America, you can legally buy powerful
prescription drugs for your illnesses that are
synthetically made. These drugs can make
you feel drowsy and affect your mood and
behavior. Many times the directions tell you
not to drive. They often also have dangerous
side effects on a person's health.
However, people who are sick and want to
use a natural drug that can ease their pain go
to jail or are considered to be engaging in an
illegal activity. If our government prohibits
ill people from using medicinal marijuana,
which can suppress symptoms of an illness
without any major side effects, then the gov-
ernment is deliberately causing people pain
and, for some, death. I don't drink, smoke or
even consume caffeine. However, I can see
the lack of logic in this scenario.
And how can alcohol be legal and mari-
juana not? Alcohol causes tragic deaths on
the roads and violence in the home. Alcohol
often makes people aggressive. Marijuana
makes people behave in a calm and peace-
ful manner. They're often immobile, which
therefore keeps them off the road..
The drug war is a way for the government
to make money, and it needs to be stopped.
We need politicians who will speak out
about this irrational situation and help lead
the country to a more advanced state. A
person loaded on a number of prescription
medications is moreof a drug addict than
someone smoking marijuana.

Students can use free e-mail programs
While I certainly agree that administra-
tors blindly lacked the foresight to anticipate
the surge in UF WebMail usage, I think you
somewhat missed the mark in Monday's edi-
torial by suggesting "officials can correct this
problem by giving students easy instructions
on how to set up Outlook or Eudora."
Microsoft Outlook is not a free product,
and this does not even mention Outlook's
numerous security holes holes that are
often not patched by unknowing students.
Also,. while Eudora. is a popular e-mail
program, it is not a full-featured e-mail
reader in its free form. I don't know many
students willing to pay $50 just to read spam-
free e-mail. '
Students need to know there are free, se-
cure, full-featured e-mail programs that are
easily downloadable. In particular, Mozilla's
Thunderbird, which features an excellent
built-in sparm filter, and Opera's built-in mail
software are excellent candidates that every
student should consider.

Abortion argument always goes nowhere
I cannot think of a more worthless debate
than abortion. Anyone who has ever had to
sit through a lengthy debate on the subject
can tell you the only results it yields are angry
words and hurt feelings. Have you ever been
in an abortion debate where someone totally
switched sides?
"Really, you mean Jesus doesn't want me
to have an abortion?!"
"Yes! Choice is important!"
It never happens. People can continue to
write endless letters to the Alligator on the
topic, but no one cares about your opinion
on abortion. They already have their own
opinion on the topic, and they probably think
the other side represents what's wrong with
America.
Let's focus on what we have in common
because this debate, along with our entire
country, is entirely too divided.

Parking as SFCC not as bad as reported
I have parked at SFCC without complaint
for over a year. Every day I have seen students
frantically circling the inner lots, searching
for a parking space 10 minutes prior to class.
Yet, from the farthest parking spot in the
northwest lot, a student can walk to class at a
comfortable pace within 15 minutes.
Students should wake up five minutes
earlier and walk. Last semester, I scheduled
all my classes during peak hours at SFCC; fol-
lowing this rule, I never circled a lot.
Furthermore, there is no good reason
for 1,200 parking tickets to be issued by the
semester's halfway point. I got a ticket for
parking on the grass once, and I didn't do
it again. Reserved spots are clearly marked
with blue paint. Most of the tickets were
probably issued to students who arrived late
and intentionally parked illegally so as not to
.be tardy.
Before the school starts charging students
for parking, it should review its future enroll-
ment goals and determine whether the park-
ing tickets alone could pay for the expansion
of lots to accommodate an expanding num-
ber of students.
For security purposes, free, numbered de-
cals could reasonably be issued to those who
wish to park at the school.

Suicide is one fundamental right of man
The issue of assisted suicide is more philo-
sophical than having either a Democratic
standpoint or a Republican standpoint. The
question traces back to rights. Do we have the
right to kill ourselves?
But first we must answer: What are
rights?
Rights are conditions of existence required
by man's nature for survival. They are not
granted to us by anything divine they sim-
ply exist as long as man exists on Earth.
Defining rights is necessary only to iden-
tify the sovereign morality of man in the
context of social relationships with other
men. The United States was the first nation
to recognize the self-evident fact that a man's
life is his own.
The fundamental right is a man's right to .
his own life. This means his freedom to act on
his own judgment for his own ends.
His only limitation is that his actions must
not violate the rights of other men.
So does man have the right to kill himself?
The only way to violate man's rights is to se-
quester his values. If a man is at a point where
he no longer values his life, it is his right to
dispose of it.
And whether he rolls himself onto the
floor or has Nurse Betty pull the plug is his
choice only.
Congressional law against individual
rights will cause the loss of what has superbly
separated America from the rest: freedom.

UF RESEARCH
Study: Bees' business the work of fish, not birds
By ANA MARIA MALPARTIDA
Alligator Contributing Writer
UF scientists have discovered that fish,
not birds, play the role of wingman in bees'
reproductive process.
Scientists at UF and Washington
University in St. Louis proved that fish are
major players in the pollination process
of plants as they feed on insects, such as
dragonflies, which are major predators of
pollinators like bees and butterflies.
An article about the study, entitled
"Trophic Cascades Across Ecosystems," was
co-authored by scientists of both universi-
ties and was published in the October issue
of Nature magazine.
"We found that, at ponds without fish
and more dragonflies, flowers did not get
as much pollen and were less visited by pol-
linators," said Krista McCoy, a UF zoology
doctoral student and one of the article's five
authors..
Fish eat dragonfly larvae in ponds, and
adult dragonflies eat pollinators, she said.
When fish eat the larvae, there are fewer
adult dragonflies and more pollinators,
flowers and ultimately seeds.
The study shows how two separate eco-
systems can affect each other with the help
of other factors, said Michael McCoy, zool-
ogy student and another-author.
"People usually don't think that what
happens in the water has an impact on what
happens on land," he said. "It is just odd be-
cause they would never suspect that having
fish in the water would actually help plants
on land reproduce."
Michael McCoy said scientists did not
expect the effects to be so strong.
"We knew that fish affect the abundance
of dragonflies, and we knew that dragon-
flies eat butterflies and bees, but we didn't
expect to get such a large difference in the
number .of seeds," he said.
"People usually don't think that
what happens in the water has an
impact on what happens on land."
Michael McCoy
UF zoology student
He said his work can help those who are
not scientists understand how their actions
affect the environment, even when they live
in different ecosystems.
The study began in 2003 and was com-
pleted in 2005 at UF's Katharine Ordway
Preserve, a field research and teaching facil-
ity located-25 miles from campus managed
by the UF Department of Wildlife Ecology
and Conservation.
Krista McCoy said the facility allowed
them to do the study.
"They maintain this wild area that has
the fish-present ponds and fish-free ponds
that we needed for the study," she said. "If
it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have been
able to do this."
Mel Sunquist, program director of the
Ordway Preserve, said that while preserve
staff members were not directly involved
with the research, they were happy to sup-
portit.
Getting the findings published in Nature
is a testament to the high quality of the re-
search, he said.
"I'm certain that the implications of
their findings will have repercussions well
beyond the scientific community," Sunquist'
said.
UF-designed 'hurricane house could soon be tested
House meant to withstand Category 5 storms
By KARI TARR
Alligator Contributing Writer
Just days after the final coat of
paint was put on, Bob Stroh's most
recently built "hurricane house" is
about to be put to the test.
Officially named the Windstorm
Damage Mitigation Training and
Demonstration Centers, "hurricane
houses" are specially designed
buildings placed strategically
throughout Florida to show how ap-
propriate building methods can bear
the brunt of high winds.
With Hurricane Wilma barreling
toward Florida, the newest house of
the batch in Broward County may
be tested soon if Wilma hits Florida
as predicted.
The centers are built at UF's
Institute of Food and Agricultural
Sciences Extension Services and are
used to educate homeowners on al-
leviating hurricane damage.
Each center is capable of with-
standing Category-5 hurricanes, said
Stroh, the director of the Shimberg
Center for Affordable Housing at
UF. He is the principal investigator
of all the centers.
The Broward County location
marks the fourth in the state, adding
to the existing houses in St. Lucie, St.
Johns and Escambia counties.
All three centers survived last
year's hurricane season with no
structural damage, Stroh said.
He said the buildings withstand
the storms because of the special
material from which
they are made. A ma-
jor contribution is the
; use of insulated con-
Hurriahe create forms, or ICF, for
Wilma the exterior walls.
"It's basically large
blocks of Styrofoam with reinforced
concrete," said Stroh.
Built by the Shimberg Center
from a grant sponsored by the
Florida Department of Insurance,
the centers are fully equipped
classrooms with desks, audiovisual
equipment, Internet, public bath-
rooms and administration areas.
Training sessions make use of ex-
posed and unfinished interior wall
sections to demonstrate how the
structural elements and reinforce-
ment features are integrated.
Although the newest location
has not received its certificate of oc-
cupancy, Stroh does not expect it to
be empty during Hurricane Wilma.
"Last year in Pensacola, we had
people knocking on the door (of
the hurricane house), asking if they
could ride out the storm there," he
said.
Stroh said he's optimistic and
excited at the chance to test the new
facility.
"If winds get up to 175, then we
might have a scrape here and there,"
he said. "I would put a quarter on
the fact that it would not be demol-
ished, and a quarter is a big bet for
me."
Stroh believes the construction
methods used in the hurricane
houses can help save lives and re-
duce energy costs.
"It's expensive, but it's doable,"
he said.
Forecasters at the National
Hurricane Center expect Wilma
to hit Florida late this weekend or
early Monday.

East side to get Wal-Mart
Outlet could add
up to 400 jobs
By ALEXIS LLOYD
Alligator Writer
Wal-Mart announced this week its plan
to build a Supercenter at Northeast 12th
Avenue and Waldo Road at a date yet to be
determined.
"When the largest retailer puts its flag
down in a community, the economy is sure
to go up," said Brent Christensen, president
of the Gainesville Chamber of Commerce.
SFCC is working with East Gainesville to
improve the economy and residents' quality
of life.
"I see the Super Wal-Mart as an economic
shot in the arm," said Paul Hutchins, SFCC
.Dean of Educational Centers. "[The cen-
ter] will provide access for people in East
Gainesville they don't have readily avail-
able."
It is anticipated that the new Wal-Mart
will add 350 to 400 new jobs. Wal-Mart also
boosts the economy by paying taxes. Last
year alone, Wal-Mart paid $55.6 million in
state and local taxes.
Since Wal-Mart opened its first
Supercenter in 1988, it has never closed or
moved a site.
"[Wal-Mart] didn't choose this site based
on how the area will be five years from
now," said Eric Brewer, Wal-Mart commu-
nity affairs manager for Florida. "We chose
East Gainesville based on the existing com-
munity."
The 204,000-square-foot center which
is almost 18,000 more square feet than the
national-average store size will -have a
gas station and grocery, retail and garden
centers.
There are more than 120 Supercenters in
Florida.
"The response from the local community
has been overwhelmingly positive," said
Brewer, who is also a Gainesville resident.
One of the main concerns of residents is
how the overflow of people in the area will
affect traffic.
When the largest retailer puts its
flag down in a community, the
economy is sure to go up."
Brent Christensen.
President of the Gainesville Chamber of
Commerce
"I don't know if anyone should have
any fears," Brewer said in response. "At the
end of the day, our main concern is that our
customers are happy. We will be working
with Gainesville to disperse traffic around
that area."
Wal-Mart is planning to add more
Supercenters in the Gainesville area, Brewer
said.
"We certainly hope we'll be able to open
more in the future," he said. "Clearly for
a market this size, Gainesville is under-
served."

Weekend white-cane wall
By ANNA SUGGS
Alligator Contributing Writer
Rusty Hilliard has been told that he's dated
ugly girls. But that's OK with him.
Hilliard is blind a disability he says is the
biggest blessing of his life. "
At 8 years old, Hilliard lost his vision when
an artificial shunt in his brain broke overnight.
The shunt was implanted when he was 3
months old to relieve pressure on his brain.
A piece of the shunt lodged into his optic
nerve and made a hole the size of pencil lead,
causing Hilliard to lose his vision.
Now 28, Hilliard is the preacher at the
Newberry Church of Christ, with a wife and a
newborn baby.
Local He said being unable to see
News has given him perspective.
"It allows me to get to know
people without judging them based on their
outer appearances," Hilliard said.
He is one of 1.3 million legally blind people
in the United States, according to the American
k opens eyes
Foundation for the Blind.
October is National Disability Employment
Awareness Month, and White Cane Safety
Day is nationally recognized Oct. 15.
However, the Alachua County Council of
the Blind will celebrate the day Saturday by
holding the ninth annual White Cane Walk,
said Maxine Stallings, president of the council.
Walkers will meet at 10 a.m. at the McDonald's
on University Avenue.,
The mile-long walk -down University
Avenue is held to raise public awareness of
to the blind
pedestrian safety for the blind and visually
impaired, Stallings said.
It will bring attention to the Florida White
Cane Law, which states that drivers must stop
for pedestrians crossing a street carrying a white
cane with a red tip or being led by a guide dog.
Sighted people are encouraged to walk
blindfolded with a guide to experience what it
is like to walk without sight, Stallings said.
"The day I give up and say, 'This is meaning-
less and life has no purpose' that's the day I
lose, and I don't intend to lose," Hilliard said.

Undie run OK with police
Locals hustle for Habitat
By BRETT KELMAN
Alligator Contributing Writer
The goal may be 500 participants for
Friday's midnight run through Gainesville, but
for the Undie 500, sometimes less is more.
The run, also called The Great Underwear
Dash II, will lead a barely dad horde from the
starting line at The Hub north to University
Avenue, then east to 13th Street and back.
The runners are welcome to run in what-
ever underwear makes them feel comfortable.
UF graphic design major Beau Bergeron,
who organized Friday's run, said his motives
were simple.
"I just thought it would be fun," he said.
"Fat or skinny, hot or not. It isn't about see-
ing other people in their underwear; it's about
seeing yourself in your underwear and feeling
good."
Bergeron's first attempt at an underwear
dash in .April saw about 75 students run the
on-campus route twice.
He has advertised the run through chalk
messages on campus and word of mouth. As
of Thursday night, the Great Underwear Dash
group on thefacebook.com had 139 confirmed'
runners.
"I think life is about being spontaneous.
You know, showing your wild side, and maybe
you can get a little exercise at the same time,"
said sophomore Sarah Conlin, who ran in the
last dash after Bergeron, then her RA, spread
the word around Hume Hall.
"I think life is about being spon-
taneous. You know, showing your
wild side, and maybe you can get a
little exercise at the same time."

UPD spokesman Maj. Brad Barber said that
runners whose clothing does not meet certain
coverage standards risk indecent-exposure pen-
alties. Though he could not explain those stan-
dards, he said briefs likely would meet them.
For Gainesville Police, which patrols the
dash once it crosses University Avenue, under-
wear alone would not matter as long as the run
remains safe and doesn't interfere with traffic,
said spokesman Sgt. Keith Kameg.
"Let them run their little hearts out," he
said.

More than 175 runners are expected
Saturday as the UF chapter of Habitat
for Humanity hosts the sixth annual
Hustle for Humanity 4-mile run.
The race begins at 9 a.m. at the
McKnight Brain Institute and takes
runners around campus, finishing back
at the institute.
The runners, ranging in age from 10
to 71; will compete in the overall race as
well as races separated by gender and
age. Winners will receive golden saws
and hammers, symbolic of Habitat's
mission to build homes for needy
families.
Hustle for Humanity is the chapter's
"signature" event during the Fall.
"I like seeing progress and seeing
that I've actually made a difference,"
said junior Matt Soicher, co-vice presi-
dent of the chapter.
The chapter is prepared for this
year's event, despite challenges with
permits, time mix-ups and the usual
course getting displaced by the hur-
ricanes that came through the area last
year, Soicher said.
Last year the chapter had to chart
a new course for the event after the
hurricanes made some of the usual
course's unpaved areas impassable.
The money raised from the event
usually goes to local houses the chap-
ter co-sponsors with
On the Alachua Habitat
Campus for Humanity, but after
Hurricane Katrina, the
chapter decided to donate to Habitat for
Humanity International, which is work-
ing in areas affected by the hurricane.
Chapter president Jeff. Wong esti-
mated this year's Hustle for Humanity
would raise more than $2,000.
"It's always an exciting event," he
said. "It's a great feeling to go all out."
Registration for Hustle for
Humanity is $12 for UF and SFCC stu-
dents and $15 for non-students before
Saturday, or $20 at the race.

DRILLING THE FUTURE
OIL, from page 1
natural gas, which is enough to heat
12.3 million homes for 15 years, he
added.
"The demand for oil has been
growing, and it continues to grow,
so we have to drill in more places,"
Bush said.
But Nelson questioned whether
drilling more oil in the hurricane-
prone Gulf would satiate the
nation's demand for oil.
"We're going to cut out future
capital because the Gulf is a hurri-
cane highway," Nelson said.
Protecting homeland security
Nelson, who has consistently
fought against drilling during
his tenure, said he was confident
Florida's coast would continue
to be drill-free for many more
years because the military uses
the Eastern Gulf as a training
ground.
"Oil rigs emit signals that
interfere with military opera-
tions," he said. "The Eastern Gulf
of Mexico is the largest area of
training in the U.S." Significant
amounts of pilot training happen
at Eglin Air Force Base, located
near Fort Walton Beach.
"At some point, the admirals
and generals will stand up and
say, 'You're not going to hurt the
defense of this country by tak-
Megan Schaub/ Alligator

ing away our training ground,'"
Nelson said.
Nelson also said the U.S. reli-
ance on foreign oil also threatens
national security.
"What happens if an oil tanker
sinks in the, [Persian Gulf]?"
asked Nelson. "We must cut our
addiction to oil."
Bacterial protection
UF botany professor Joseph
Davis said drilling might not have
a negative effect on the shoreline
because a certain type of bacteria
thrives on seeping petroleum.
Therefore, drilling in most
parts of the Gulf should be en-
vironmentally sound because the
bacteria will eat excess oil before
it becomes a problem, said Davis,
who cited a 1978 research article
in Applied and Environmental
Microbiology.'
"If you supply the proper food
[petroleum], the type of bacteria
will show up and -consume it,"
Davis said.
Resisting the drill
Florida lobbyists and politi-
cians argue that drilling will
ruin Florida's $50 billion tourism
economy.
"There's a reason people don't
plan their summer vacations on
the beaches of Galveston, Texas,"
said Mark Ferrulo, director of
Florida Public Interest Research
Group.
Ferrulo and Nelson both said
Florida politicians and lobby-
ists have historically formed "a
"bipartisan united front" against
oil drilling, but Ferrulo said that
because of the increased demand
for oil, some officials are sway-
ing.
Gov. Jeb Bush, who has fought
against all "types of drilling dur-
ing his leadership, recently pro-
posed a compromise to Congress
that would allow drilling 125
miles or more off Florida's coast.
U.S. Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-
Ocala, said he is opposed to
drilling for environmental rea-
sons but added in a prepared
statement that "our nation needs
to increase domestic production,
and there will be more drilling in
the Gulf."
Ferrulo, who has fought
against drilling for 20 years,
seemed optimistic.
"We've been on the ropes
many times before and came out
victorious," he said.
University officials contend e-mails are not filed by date but subject
Tim Casey/ Alligator Staff
Charles Grapski reviews his notes at the Alachua County Civil Justice
Center on Thursday.
HEARING, from page 1
Grapski's original complaint against Machen
contained two counts. I
The first stated that Grapski e-mailed .his re-
quest for records to Machen on June 7, and Machen
responded Aug. 10 that "no such documents exist."
Roundtree dismissed this, saying Grapski's com-
plaint misled the court by neglecting to mention
intermediate responses from Machen's designees in
which they did provide some documents.
"I think anyone that reads the English language
would read Count One and read that the university
just stonewalled Mr. Grapski," Roundtree said.
The judge's ruling on that count allows Grapski
to clarify his claims and file again, which he said he
plans to do..
The second count states that Grapski requested
all e-mails that Machen sent and received dated
June 2. Grapski said he knows at least one such
record exists because he sent Machen an e-mail on
that date and received a response.
Roundtree dismissed this count because Grapski
requested the document by date rather than by sub-
ject. This dismissal does not allow refiling.
In an Oct. 4 e-mail to Grapski, UF Associate
Director of News and Public Affairs Steve Orlando
wrote that Machen's e-mails from those dates had
been deleted and that the messages he saves are
stored by subject.
"I think the response by the university ... is that
they don't keep them by date," Roundtree said.
"What is wrong with that response?"
Gary Edinger, Grapski's attorney, said such a de-
nial limits the availability of public records.
"There is no possible way that a citizen is going
to know what the subject matter of each of those e-
mails is," Edinger said.
Florida law states that in order for a document to
be withheld, it must be excused by a specific legal
exemption, such as national security.
Failure to accommodate an agency's filing sys-
tem for records is not listed in the laws as a viable
exemption.
Edinger said the burden of a request is no excuse
for its denial.
"We know the requests are a pain in the butt,"
said Edinger, "(But) we find
UF it politically valuable, in fact
Administration necessary, to have a transpar-
ent political system."
Machen's counsel, John DeVault, offered two
other reasons for the judge to throw out Grapski's
second count.
He said the June 2 e-mail from Grapski did not
constitute a public record anyway because it did not
meet the legal-requirement of being "in connection
with the transaction of official business."
"Students whining to the president about things
that are wrong with Student Government and
(Florida) Blue Key is not an official public record,"
said DeVault, an FBK alumnus and former Florida
Bar president.
UF's public records policy requires administra-
tors to retain "general correspondence" for three
fiscal years.
DeVault also argued there was no proof
Machen's. staff ever received Grapski's request for
June 2 e-mails.
Due to a subpoena, Alligator Editor Mike
Gimignani was compelled to testify that-Orlando
told him he had received the request.
Grapski's original complaint states that he "has
a keen interest in the relationship between the
University of Florida and a private corporation
known as Florida Blue Key, Inc."
.Grapski fought a years-long legal battle with
FBK in the '90s, claiming the group defamed him
during his campaign for election as student body
president. He was eventually awarded more than
$6 million.

Opposing campus groups host abortion debate
By ASHTON GROSZ
Alligator Writer
More than 100 students partici-
pated in a heated debate about the
merits of moral and legal concerns
regarding abortion Thursday night.
In one of the evening's few agree-
ments, the six panelists from orga-
nizers UF Pro-Life Alliance and Vox:
Voices for Planned Parenthood said
they do not encourage abortion.
Vox panelists said that while
their goal as pro-choice advocates
is to safeguard women's right to
choose, they encourage comprehen-
sive sex education and condom use
as a means of preventing pregnancy,
with abortion being a last resort.
"We believe it should be rare
because it can be rare," said Vox
President Sara Hanson.
Pro-Life Alliance panelists de-
nounced abortion because choices
"I think everyone in here
would agree that killing
innocent people is wrong
and should be illegal."
Kate Keeley
Alliance President
that hurt others which they argue
include fetuses should not be
supported.
Alliance President Kate Keeley
contended that from the moment of
fertilization, the embryo possesses
a genetic fingerprint unique from
its parents' and is a human worthy
of legal protection. She compared
abortion to slavery, the Holocaust
and genocide in Darfur, Africa.
"I think everyone in-here would
agree that killing innocent people
is wrong and should be illegal,"
Keeley said.
But making abortion illegal
wouldn't eliminate it, said Vox
Outreach Chair Justin Bangs. Hanson
said they would continue in unsafe
ways that threaten women's health.
Bangs reaffirmed that sex edu-
cation was the key to limiting the
number of abortions performed.
"We believe that people should
have all the information and should
be taught in a comprehensive man-
ner and not scared," he said.

"The war was a magnificent success," she
said. "We're a few years into the rebuilding."
She also criticized the, media for being liberal
and Democrats for whining about their rights
under the First Amendment.
"They're always accusing us of repressing
their speech," she said. "I say let's do it. Let's
repress them."
She later added, "Frankly, I'm not a big fan of
the First Amendment."
Her statements received applause, and many
attendees said they enjoyed her speech, but
some added that they think she's somewhat
extreme.
"She's not very subtle, but I always enjoy
her talks," Republican Senate candidate Travis
Horn said. "They're very hard hitting, but the
truth hurts."
The vice chair of the Alachua County
Republican Executive Committee Bryan
Harman said the unexpectedly large turnout
was wonderful, and he enjoyed Coulter's fiery
speech.
"I thought it was very funny," Harman said.
"She used a lot of humor and good political sat-
ire to make people laugh. She would take seri-
ous issues and make fun of them a little, but she
still got her point across."
UF students received a $30 discount, and UF
College Republicans President Ashlee Black said
the club sold about 100 tickets.
"We had a good turn out of UF students and
College Republicans," Harman said. "They were
very instrumental in pulling this all together."
. Black enjoyed Coulter's speech, and said she
felt special when Coulter called UF Republicans
"beautiful" at the beginning of her speech.
"I think that she's incredibly intelligent and
outspoken," Black said. "She's a little raw, but I
think she balances the left's Michael Moore."

Gold medalist Lochte to sit out weekend meet
* UF WOMEN'S TEAM DEFEATED SMU
125-118 ON THURSDAY.
By RACHEL ROBINS
Alligator Writer
The UF men's and women's swimming
and diving teams are heading to the Lone
Star State, but they will be without their big-
gest cowboy.
UF senior and Olympic gold medalist
Ryan Lochte will not be participating in this
weekend's contest against California and
Texas.
Lochte jammed his shoulder in last week's
competition. He swam in the first meet
against Virginia, but sat out the next day
at South Carolina. Coach Gregg Troy is not
overly concerned with the injury but decided
not to bring Lochte to Texas.
"If this was the end of the year, he would
go, but it is not worth it now," Troy said.
With Lochte out, the men's team (2-0, 1-0
SEC) will rely on other swimmers to fill the
void.
Bradley Ally and Darian Townsend have
already started the season strong.
"Bradley's performance was outstanding,
but I think he could be better," Troy said.
"Training is more important than the actual
events. We have to figure out what [Ally] is
best at."
However, Ally was just thankful to be able
to participate in his collegiate debut.
"I was happy that I was healthy," he said.
Townsend, on the other hand, benefited
from having one season already on the
books.
"[Townsend] is han-
dling the whole training
dynamic better," Troy said.
"Maturity is probably the
key word."
Troy believes Townsend
has ability to make up
for the loss of Lochte this
Troy weekend.
"With Ryan being out, we have to step
up," Townsend said
In addition, Troy mentions Brian Hartley
as another swimmer that will be vital to the
Gators success.
The women's
team (2-0, 1-0 SEC) also
has problems to solve. The team brought 24
women to Southern Methodist for Thursday's
125-118 win against the Mustangs. The eight
fastest swimmers will compete today in the
Dallas Classic.
This proves to be a problem for Troy, who
has to be in two places at once.
While part of the women's team is in
Dallas, the men's team will be competing in
Austin.
Troy decided to travel with the men,
because the women have the lighter meet,
with only eight swimmers racing. Assistant
coaches Martyn Wilby and Hollie Bonewit
will take Troy's place.
Even though Troy will not be at the wom-
en's meet, he expects certain swimmers to
build upon their season-opening success.
Freshman known for offense
Inconsistent guard play hindering development
O-LINE, from-page 23
"I wish someone would've
shown us something," Hevesy said.
"We went into that game without
looking at one shot of how they
defend empty. That's one of the
faux pas, I guess, you get seeing the
first snap."
Part of the problem, Meyer said,
was that the Tigers had seen few
empty backfield sets this season
under first-year defensive coordina-
tor Bo Pelini, who came to LSU after
serving as defensive coordinator at
Oklahoma in 2004 and Nebraska
in 2003.
"We made a million phone calls
to find out what he had done in the
past," Meyer said.
Still, Degory said preparation
wasn't the issue.
"They didn't really catch us by
surprise," Degory said. "[Offensive.
coordinator Dan] Mullen and
Coach Hevesy prepared us for al-
most anything. I think once we got
out there, we didn't do the stuff we
know how to do."
And empty backfield or not,
the Tigers still brought pressure.
The key, Hevesy said, is executing
quicker passing plays.
"You could still always be
short," Hevesy said. "We went to
six a couple times, and they brought
seven. We've got to have hot routes
built to get rid of the ball fast."
But according to Meyer and
Leak, those kinds of quick outlets,
such as slants and hitches, are in
place. It's just that receivers have
had trouble spontaneously adjust-
ing when such plays are needed.
"Receivers have to-make their
adjustments on the go sometimes,"
Leak said. "We're getting better at
that. Receivers are getting more
comfortable reading those cover-
ages and getting open."
To make matters worse, the
coaching staff is still tinkering to
find a stable combination of its oft-
injured guards.
The Gators experienced their
fifth different combination of,
guards this season, with junior
Steve Rissler and senior Tavares
Washington starting against LSU.

play we're trying to find the
right combination."
Despite all the scheme and
personnel-problems they've faced
through their first seven games,
UF's offensive linemen remain
motivated by a new, more personal
goal.
"We have four games left in the
season, and we're going to try to
prove everybody wrong," Degory
said. "That's the big focus for us
offensively, to show that this really
works."
The duo looks to remain in the
starting lineup, as freshman Jim
Tartt is suffering from a sprained
ankle.
Denying a sufficient amount-
of experience to any candidate,
the shuffling at guard has further
hindered the adjustment of the
offensive line to a new offensive
system.
"Guard play has been a little
spotty," Meyer said. "Our tackles
actually played one of their better
games against LSU. But our guard
HODGE, from page 23
Before he ever arrived in
the United States, however,
he had his sights set on the
Gators.
"I always said that I was
coming here," Hodge said.
"In my freshman year, I was
in Puerto Rico, and we used
to do the press that Florida
did, and we had the same
uniforms at my high school.
"So when I came [to
America], I told my coach
that I want to go to Florida,
arid then my coach said
'Alright, you need to work
hard.'"
While it was initially dif-
ficult for Hodge to be away
from his family, their support
helped him get through the
challenges. ,
"The first year it was
hard," Hodge said. "But I
know that they support me,
and my mom, she said, 'You
need to do what you want to
do,' so she helped me a lot,
and I know she is going to be
over there all the time."
Having attained a good
grasp of the English lan-
guage, Hodge will be expect-
ed to contribute right away
for the Gators. With Taurean
Green expected to start at the
point, the Gators are wonder-
ing whether Hodge will con-
tribute as a pure point guard
like Green or a proven scorer
in the mold of Roberson.
"[1 moved] to learn
English, to get a good
education, and I want-
ed to play basketball"
Walter Hodge
UF guard
"I'm hoping Walter can
be that [scorer], but he hasn't
proven that yet, and my ex-
pectation on him is 'not that
he needs to do that," UF
coach Billy Donovan said. "I
think Walter has to come in
and be solid and be sound
and someone that we can rely
on, and if he is open, knock
down shots."
on, instead of pumping his. shoulder with anti-inflammato-
. ries, inject his legs with WD-40. We all know it's not Leak's
fault that he doesn't sport the Michael Vick wheels neces-
sary in the spread, so the coaching staff should compensate
and loosen up those joints.
Scrimmage against Kentucky before every game.
Think of the confidence it would build with Leak and Co.
by the time the real games come around. All Jeremy Foley
has to do is promise the Wildcats some reading classes and
they'll be sprinting down. to Gainesville.
Throw it to the tallest player on the first play of
the game. OK, so that's a cheap way to get Tate Casey the

end zone just get to the 30-yard line, and UF will have
itself a guaranteed 47-yarder every time.
Or the Gators could just blame their woes on Ni.ke and
forfeit the season.

UF So t'
Gators try to salvage SEC season against LSU
By SPENCER DAVIS-VANNESS
Alligator Writer
sdvanness@alligator.org
After a season's worth of talk
about Southeastern Conference
regular season titles, the No. 19
UF soccer team saw their cham-
pionship dreams all but elimi-
nated wi one afternoon of pure
shutout frustration in Sunday's
1-0 loss to Mississippi.
In Coach Becky Burleigh's
words, the Gators simply "blew
it."
After being held without a
goal for the first time in more
than a year, the Gators (10-4-1,
5-2-1 SEC) were forced to face
the reality that, barring nothing
short of a miracle, this season
would end without an SEC title
once again.
* But Burleigh insists there's
still plenty to play for.
From a perspective of prag-
matism alone, Burleigh said she
would like her team focus on
seeding for an impending run in
the SEC Tournament, a tourna-
ment the Gators won last year
after a similarly disappointing
regular season.
"The higher the seed, the bet-
ter the draw you're going to get,
and the fact is that all of these
games coming up are important
to us in the NCAA Tournament
as well," Burleigh said. "We still
have a lot of things to play for."
Playing another pair of con-
ference opponents this weekend,
the Gators won't have the pres-
sure of being the SEC favorites
for the first time this season.
"I don't think depth is a
problem with us, and I feel
like every week someone
steps up to score some
goals."
Melanie Booth
UF junior forward
Tonight, UF will go up against
a Louisiana State (6-7-2, 2-5-1
SEC) team that is an under-the-
radar threat for Burleigh and her
squad.
"LSU is an .up-and-coming
team," she said. "They started off
the season slow, but they have a
new coach. They're trying to put
in a new system, and I think
'they're starting to come around.
"I thought they were one of
the best teams we played in the
SEC all last year."
That message should resonate
well with the team.
Senior forward Jessica Young
said that this team's struggles
have come from periodic lapses
of motivation rather than a lack
of talent.
"It doesn't seem to. matter
who our competition is, it just
matters who shows up to play.
And if we all show up to play,
and we're all there to win, then
I think we've already proved
we can beat tough opponents,"
she said.
The Gators also will travel to
Fayetteville, Ark., on Sunday to
take on the Razorbacks.
MORE INJURIES: The Gators lost
yet another offensive threat dur-
ing last Sunday's match.
After a recent slew of injuries
allowed Bianca Gibbs to see in-
creased playing time, the sopho-
more forward suffered an injury
of her own. Gibbs hyperextend-
ed her knee against Mississippi,
leaving her status uncertain for
tonight's game. However, she
did practice with the team on
Wednesday.
Burleigh said Gibbs might
play this weekend.
-Freshman forward Ameera
Abdullah,. who has sat out with
a stress fracture, will be re-evalu-
ated today but will not take the
field this weekend.
Even with the ever-growing
list of injuries, junior Melanie
Booth remains confident that the
offense has yet to reach its break-
ing point.
"I don't think depth is a prob-
lem with us, and I feel like every
week someone steps up to score
some goals," Booth said.

Offensive line suffers growing pains in new system
By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
bapp@alligator.org
These days it's difficult to tell whether
Chris Leak takes more hits on or off the foot-
ball field.
The quarterback has withstood a whirl-
wind of criticism after his 11-for-30, 107-yard
outing against Louisiana State on Saturday.
But don't blame the signal caller, says of-
fensive lineman Mike Degory.
"Our job is to give Chris as much time as
possible," said the senior center. "And we
haven't been living up to our part of the bar-
gain."
The Gators' offensive line has allowed
a Southeastern Conference-worst 24 sacks
this season, including four in losses to LSU
and Alabama and five during a win against
Tennessee.
With protection that porous, Leak's anemic
numbers don't surprise Coach Urban Meyer.
"We're not protecting [Leak] very well,"
Meyer said. "What happens is a quarterback
gets spooked, and even when he's protected,
"Our job is to give Chris as much
time as possible. We haven't
[lived] up to our part of the bar-
gain. "
Mike Degory
UF center
his feet aren't going to get set."
According to offensive line coach John
Hevesy, UF's pass-protection breakdowns are
primarily the result of mental errors.
"Mentally, there are still a few [mistakes],"
Hevesy said. "[We're] still learning the scheme
in some of the empty [backfield] protecting."
Blocking without running backs in the
backfield is a staple in the spread offense,
as five-receiver formations often are used to
stretch the field. Every time the Gators lined
up with an empty backfield on Saturday, the
Tigers made them pay, unleashing a six-man
rush against a five-man offensive front.
Apparently, UF hadn't seen game film of
how LSU would react in such a situation.

Hodge looks to .contribute
Superstition or bust for UF
By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer
For most students, the tran-
sition between high school and
college is difficult enough. Even
the largest high schools with a
few thousand students pale in
comparison to the 48,000-stu-
dent fish bowl that is UF.
Add in a language barrier
and the pressures of stepping
onto a defending Southeastern
Conference-championship team,
and you get Walter Hodge, the
Gators new 6-foot guard from
Guaynabo, Puerto Rico.
There's plenty of lofty ex-
pectations for Hodge, who is
expected to help UF make up for
the loss of Anthony Roberson.
It's a tall task for a freshman,
and the transition from high
school to college is something

that the. Florida Air Academy
graduate has taken in stride.
"The first week it was hard
because it's a big change from
high school to college," Hodge
said. "But everybody is helping
me, and it's going good."
Hodge arrived at UF with a
high school resume that would
make any college recruiter
drool.
He averaged 25.4 points per
game, 5.4 steals and 4.2 assists
his senior season as he led FAA,
to a 29-0 mark and a state cham-
pionship.
He was named both the
- Florida Gatorade Player of the
Year and MVP of the state tour-
nament after scoring 33 points in
the title game, a 74-69 win over
Jacksonville Ribault.
Getting to that point, how-
ever, was not easy.
Hodge moved to Melbourne
from Puerto Rico after his fresh-
man year of high school without
his immediate family.
"[I moved] to learn English,
to get a good education, and
I wanted to play basketball"
Hodge said.
Hodge took official visits to
UF and Auburn while in high
school, but he didn't sign his
letter of intent until the spring
signing period in April.
Rightuntil the end, Hodgehad
programs such as Connecticut,
Maryland, Massachusetts and
Kansas where his former high
school teammate Sasha Kaun
plays on his trail.

Spoiled or superstitious?
Athletes are probably both,

The senior removed himself
from the cover of this year's

a chemical chain reaction that
resulted in a herniated disc

Then there's UF kicker
Chris Hetland. The 9-for-9
field goal specialist may actu-
ally be on to something with
his superstition. Hetland lath-
ers up with a hot bath three
hours before every game.
Rumor has it that a deal with

But it's not just collegiate
athletes who have been bit by
the superstition bug.

wears a little leather mineral
pouch that supposedly scares
away injury. After Finley re-
ceived the pouch from Craig
Counsell in 2002, he hit over
.350 for the following three
months.
All of this begs one obvious
question: Is there anything
superstitious UF's offense
can do to spook the demons
away? Here's a list of rituals
the Gators may want to turn
to if they don't want to feast
on Outback Bowl Bloomin'

VOLLEYBALL
UF, LSU focused on weather
By BRYAN JONES
Alligator Writer
Jane Collymore, Marcie
Hampton, Angie McGinnis and the
rest of the Gators have been making
quick work of their opponents this
season.
But it might ultimately be Wilma
who will determine whether this
weekend will be cut short. -
Two of the top teams in the
Southeastern Conference West will
-be visiting the O'Connell Center this
weekend to take on the No. 4 UF
volleyball team (18-1, 8-0).
The Gators will host a hot
Arkansas team (13-7, 6-2) tonight
in the SEC Match of the Week. The
Razorbacks, who have now won
seven of their last nine games, cur-
rently sit just a half game out of first
place in the SEC West.
The Gators' biggest challenge
against Arkansas will be combating
the Razorbacks' stellar blocking at
the net.
"Well, you-are facing the team
that leads the league in blocks per
game.... Ten years ago, I think it
could have been answered the same
way," UF coach Mary Wise said.
"Serving and blocking is their bread
and butter and has been for a num-
ber of years."
SEC Match of the Week aside,
this weekend's
real drama will
come in UF's
match against
Louisiana State
(15-4, 5-3), sched-
uled for Sunday.
W i t h
Wise Hurricane Wilma
looming, it could
be another disaster for the Tigers,
who will once again have weather
on their minds,
Due to the effects of Hurricane
Katrina, LSU did not play its first
home game of the 2005 season until
one week ago.
LSU's biggest test this weekend
may not be trying to defeat the No. 4
team in the country, but just getting-
to the arena.
The Tigers will play Georgia in
Athens tonight before traveling to
Gainesville. -
"It's probably not a coincidence
that you say LSU, and weather
becomes an issue," Wise said. "If
any team has had as rough of a
time dealing with the after-effects
of Hurricane Katrina, obviously,-it
was LSU."
Despite the possibility of severe
weather, the match is currently still
scheduled for Sunday at 1:30 p.m.
LSU started strong this season
even without the luxury of playing
at home. The Tigers most impressive
victory came against Notre Dame,
the team that handed the Gators
their only loss this season.
Eventually the 17-game road trip
began to wear on the Tigers.
"It's really a shame, because
they were playing so well early on,"
Wise said. "I think the shame is who
knows what LSU's record would
be like if they had those home
matches.
"But I think last week was great
for them to kind of get back into a
groove."

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2005 Counter courts Gai esviIe Megan Schaub/ Alligator Conservative author and speaker Ann Coulter autographs a book after speaking at the Ronald Reagan Black Tie and Blue Jeans BBQ on Thursday evening. By JESSICA RIFFEL Alligator Writer jriffel@alligator.org Ann Coulter, an outspoken Republican pundit and author, energized and entertained more than 800 UF students and Alachua County residents Thursday night at the third annual Ronald Reagan Black Tie and Blue Jeans BBQ. The audience, decked out' in patriotic garb and cowboy boots, fanatically surrounded Coulter before dinner, asking her to pose with them for pictures. One woman caught Coulter's attention by begging for a picture, saying, "my husband loves you." The Republicans got in the spirit of the night while enjoying an SUV-size trailer full of Budweiser beer. Attendees paid between $25 and $75 to attend the event; the latter price included dinner. The money went to the Alachua County Republican Party, which paid $30,000 to have Coulter speak. Coulter mainly addressed weaknesses she saw in the Democratic party. "The Democrats complain about the Republican base being nuts," Coulter said. "The nuts are their entire party.", She warned attendees to not allow Democrats anywhere near foreign policy, "not even to keep them away from domestic policy." Coulter defended the war in Iraq and chastised Democrats for "demoralizing America." SEE COULTER, PAGE 12 .5Ft g FM BILL NELSON ENCOURAGES USE OF ETHANOL. By JEFF SIRIMONS Alligator Staff Writer isirmons@amIigator.org A U.S. senator has led the offshore oil-drilling debate in Florida, saying it will not lower the price of gasoline, although his argument has its share of critics. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., said there is not eno1g0,h olrillsile oil in thp eatern Golf of Mexico to increase supply significantly, so prices would not fall. "Instead of drilling ourselves out of the problem, we should invest more in alternative fuel technology," Nelson said. "If we lessen the demand for oil, prices should go down." Nelson suggested industries replace oil with a renewable resource such as ethanol, which can be derived from prairie grass. "We could start on ethanol as early as tomorrow," he said. Another proposed solution was clean coal, which is used as a regular fuel source in Germany, but Nelson said that couldn't be developed for wide-scale use for another decade. "Instead of drilling ourselves out of the problem, we should invest more in alternative fuel tech nology. If we lessen the demand for oil, prices should go down." Bill Nelson Senator Bill Bush, spokesman for the American Petroleum Institute, disagreed with Nelson, saying that enough oil exists off Florida's coast to warrant drilling. "[Drilling for oil off Florida's Gulf coast] would tend to have a depressing effect on prices," Bush said. Since oil prices are based on uncertain events, such as hurricanes, Bush couldn't guarantee drilling would reduce wallet pressure at the pump. The Eastern Gulf contains 3.6 billion'barrels of oil, enough to supply Florida with oil for almost 10 years, Bush said, referring to a 2000 survey of the Eastern Gulf conducted by the Petroleum Institute. The area also has 12.3 rillidn cubic feet of SEE OIL, PAGE I1 "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" The goal may be 500 participants for Friday's midnight run through Gainesville, but for organizers of the Undie 500, sometimes less is more.

However, the plaintiff vows to continue waging his legal battle. "I am going to fight this until Machen and the university are in full compliance with the law and this university acts as an educational institution should," said Charles Grapski, the UF instructor who sued Machen for not complying with Florida public records law. The judge who heard the case, Robert Roundtree, is on the advisory board of the Center on Children and Families at the UF Levin College of Law, as is Machen's wife, Chris. By the time the Alligator learned of Roundtree's connection to UF, officials were unavailable to comment on a possible conflict of interest. Grapski sued Machen after seeking records of the UF administration's relationship with the private leadership honorary Florida'Blue Key. Specifically, he sought information about Student Government's hefty donation to the FBK-produced pep rally Gator Growl in the form of a ticket subsidy. Grapski contends that FBK is not eligible to receive the tuition-funded Activity & Service Fee that SG allocates because it is a private, exclusive organization. Florida statutes state that only all-inclusive groups are eligible for A&S fees. SEE HEARING, PAGE 11 N Last season Randy Hand was a solid contributor to UF's offensive line.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 3 By LYNDSEY LEWIS Alligator Writer Ilewis@aligator.org UF students will soon see changes in general-education requirements that could determine whether or not they graduate on time, after the UF Faculty Senate passed a resolution Thursday raising the university's minlium-n grade requirement. Starting next Fall, students who earn below a C in any general-education course will either have to re-take the class or enroll in another class that offers the same general credits. Although the'proposal ultimately passed the Senate, almost half of the body's members voted against it. "I can't give students a grade now that says, 'You're an average student, but you passed the course.' I don'tlike that," said Tim Davis, a professor. in the Department of Computer and Information Science and Engineering. The proposal, brought forth by General Education Council Chairman Andy McCollough, passed the Senate by a margin of between two and four votes. Senate officials were initially wuable to determine which side had garnered the most support, which resulted in additional votes U F on the issue. Administration After the Senate voted for the third time, Senate Chairwoman Kim Tanzer said she and other officials were still unable to reach a consensus on exactly how many votes had been issued in favor of the proposal. However, she said everyone agreed there were more faculty members who supported it than opposed it. The requirement prohibiting students from taking general education courses with a grade requirement of either satisfactory or unsatisfactory will remain in place.

The Public Relations Student Society of America's 2005 National Conference scheduled for this weekend has been postponed due to Hurricane Wilma, but attendees will receive a full refund for hotel and bus fees said Jennifer Robinson, faculty adviser for PRSSA. "The national conference committee based in New York has been meeting in Miami this week and decided today to postpone," she said. "The hotel very generously decided not to hold students accountable for fees." It is also likely that students will be able to apply the upwards of $275 registration fee toward the rescheduled date, which will be sometime between January and March, she said. Robinson said the students planting to attend the conference -which was to start today -were disappointed to miss an event so beneficial to their future careers. See a company like no other.

Despite the initial disappointment, students were grateful the correct decision was made, said Brent Steinberg, national liaison for the UF chapter of PRSSA. "We were put in a very difficult situation," he said. "There was no foresight to see a hurricane coming on this of all weekends, but I think the executive board handled it very well." If the postponement decision had been delayed, Steinberg said the students might have been in a precarious situation. "The last thing we want is for students to be stuck in Miami," he said. -The plan for reallocating students' conference fees will be decided by the Public Relations Society of America, the parent organization of PRSSA, but Steinberg said students shouldn't be concerned.

"I was getting really, really thirsty," UF first-year medical student Erin Manning said. She and about 400 other nonMuslims pledged to refrain from eating, drinking, smoking and sex Thursday for the Ramadan Fast-aThon hosted by Islam on Campus, said Omar Ishaq, one of the event coordinators. Gainesville businesses donated between 10 cents and $1 for every person who pledged to fast, Ishaq said. Donors included Falafel King and Farah's Restaurant. The estimated $1,000 raised will go to St. Francis House, a local homeless shelter, he said. "It's not just about the money," Ishaq said. Group members could have collected the money on campus, but the event helped to raise awareness and get people involved in the hunger movement, he said.

Those who pledged to fast were invited to participate in a banquet coming reception Thursday at the Keene Faculty Center. The Rainbow Alliance and the LGBT Concerns Committee sponsored the event to create a support network for UF faculty and staff, examine same-sex partner-benefit issues and discuss ways to get involved on campus. Cavanaugh said UF is consulting insurance providers because faculty members with domestic partners cannot get their partners covered on the university's current plan. in the Stephen C. O'Connell Center on Thursday night at sundown. About 300 participants attended the dinner, said Sakil Hossain, "If we're able to do anything, the primary focus would be on health insurance," Cavanaugh said. The idea is to have more insurance on benefit coverage in 2006, and he said he is On "cautiously optimis&aiibiuS tic.'

All those in attendance were able to break their fast when the Azzan, or call to prayer, started. The reception was a way to promote what Cohen's office has accomplished since her tenure began as director last year, Cohen said. She said LGBT has been establishing relationships with student groups and University Police. "All of us are important in helping to make this campus the best it can be," she said. Cohen said she also wanted to promote the friends program, which encourages the public to identify themselves as supportive of LGBT programs.

6, ALLIGATOR E FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2005 It is now clear that Mother Nature has a vendetta against us. But why does she have to play with us before she obliterates mankind? If we knew what we were in for, perhaps we could prepare by digging -a spider hole, ducking underneath a school desk or unleashing 100 willing virgins. But Hurricane Wilma has changed its form so often we don't know whether to prepare for the worst or just order another keg. At first, newscasters said it was a weak hurricane. Then it became the strongest in history. They said it would hit South Florida on Sunday, but now it will hit Monday We're just going to shed the fear and go camping. So put on your yellow raincoats, fill a cooler with beer and tie yourself to a sturdy tree as we begin this week's edition of Darlts & Lur s Keeping with the theme of natural disasters, we shoot a water-only-hurts-witches-not-joumalists DART at "Today".show correspondent Michelle Kosinski for reporting on flooding in Wayne, N.J., while riding in a canoe. During the NBC news segment, two men walked across the screen, making it obvious the water wasn't even ankle-deep. "Today" just reached a new low. OK, maybe that's an overstatement. We were never interested in reports on menopause and celebrities anyway. Incompetence crosses into all professions, however, so we hand a take-him-over-the-horizon-and-into-the-scaldingheat-of-the-sunset LAUREL to Semester at Sea for accepting Student Government Supervisor of Elections Daniel Maland, thus enabling him to resign from his position. Not only will Maland be prevented from ruining the Spring election, he'll be thousands of miles away from wreaking havoc on any SG event. We only pray he isn't put in charge of the boat's radar system. That could end in tragedy. But Maland's absence doesn't mean UF won't continue to struggle with technology. We blast an everyone-else-does-it-so-why-is-our-universityacting-like-a-caveman DART at UF officials for insisting that credit cards will be on-campus dining's downfall. They claim that the machines will raise prices and create long llnes, thus deterring customers. Let's get one thing straight. No one wants to eat on campus; they only eat there as a convenience or a last resort. And prices are already jacked up. If every other business in Gainesville can survive the transition, we're guessing UF can cope. Our university should look to Gainesville's mayor foi an example of bravery. We bestow an iron-woman-doubling-as-solld-leader LAUREL on Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan for returning to work from her maternity leave a week early. The City Commission seems to be at a loss without its leader, deadlocking on several important issues while the mayor has been away. We think Hanrahan should bring the baby to commission meetings and allow her to vote. It would make things more interesting. But while Gainesville politics may be boring, the federal government is proving to be scarier than we thought.

Cell 376-445. 0 C3d 4 T. -1 r"Bush's capability not gauged by polls o you approve of the way Bush is doing his job as president? More importantly, do you actually think your approval matters? News outlets and pundits on all sides of the political spectrum would like us to believe that a poll of 1,000 or so random Americans is the best way to determine whether or not a president is doing his job correctly This is the same sort of logic that has gotten football heroes and homecoming queens elected as presidents of high school senior classes for years. Maybe it seemed like a good idea at the time, but you know you'll be sorry when it comes time for them to organize class reunions. Popularity contests have little to do with job effectiveness, and this is no exception. But don't just take my word for it. There are plenty of examples of exactly how realistic these polls are. The most recent lull in Bush's approval rating came last month, owing primarily to views on his handling of Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. In contrast, a slight peak occurred later in the month, after Bush seemed to take more interest in the aftermath of Hurricane Rita. If you read between the lines, the message 'is this: A president's approval rating is directly related to the number of press appearances he stages before a poll is conducted. Even the organizations that administer these polls admit that events out of the president's control have an effect on Americans' responses. Americans just don't admit these events are out of the president's control. The pessimism connected to the recent hurricanes and rising gas prices is a key influence on Bush's low numbers. Sure, some of the ill feelings about the hurricanes can be attributed to perceptions of 'Bush's responses to relief efforts, and some amount of the rising cost of gas could be explained as a result of the war in Iraq and other incidents of American involvement in the Middle East. But a large factor in both of these is the simple fact that Mother Nature has been throwing hissy fits the past few months. Approval ratings don't even matter when the president faces reMatt Sanchez moval from office. Remember when In Moderation President Clinton was impeached? msanchez@algator.org A CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll at the time showed his approval ratings at a whopping 73 percent -his all-time high -despite the fact that 35 percent of those surveyed also agreed with the House of Representatives' decision to impeach him. Assuming 100 percent is still as high as you can go, this means at least 8 percent of those who approved of Clinton also thought he should be impeached. At least 2 percent also wanted the Senate to remove him from office. The most recent CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll revealed Bush's support among Democrats has fallen to 8 percent. Uh-oh. Democrats don't like Bush. Whatever will he do now? Frankly, Bush should consider it lucky that his approval ratings from Democrats and liberals don't come back negative. So the polls say we aren't very confident in Bush's ability to do his job. Tough. He's going to do it anyway. Presidents are leaders -leaders selected by the American public as the best people for their job. Like all leaders, they have no obligation to do what will be popular. Instead, they must do what they feel must be done, regardless of what anyone may think. No poll will -or should -change that. Matt Sanchez is a journalism senior. His colunin appears on Friday.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 7 Tolerance a coward's way out of debate In Tuesday's Alligator, Charles Nowell exasperatingly pointed out to those embroiled in the abortion debate that "the reason people disagree about abortion is because of the difference in their views, not differences in fact." I plead with anyone who is even remotely tempted to prescribe to that philosophy to reconsider; it is an awful way to live. Either life begins at conception or it does not. Either the life of a developing baby is as valuable as that of any adult or it is not. Throughout your entire life, look at the evidence on an issue and believe in something. Don't cower under bastardized tolerance when the fact is we're either killing people or we're not. Gerald Liles 2LS Marijuana not as harmful as prescription I don't understand the war on drugs. In America, you can legally buy powerful prescription drugs for your illnesses that are synthetically made. These drugs can make you feel drowsy and affect your mood and behavior. Many times the directions tell you not to drive. They often also have dangerous side effects on a person's health. However, people who are sick and want to use a natural drug that can ease their pain go to jail or are considered to be engaging in an illegal activity. If our government prohibits ill people from using medicinal marijuana, which can suppress symptoms of an illness without any major side effects, then the government is deliberately causing people pain and, for some, death. I don't drink, smoke or even consume caffeine. However, I can see the lack of logic in this scenario. And how can alcohol be legal and marijuana not? Alcohol causes tragic deaths on thf roads and violence in the home. Alcohol often makes people aggressive. Marijuana makes people behave in a calm and peaceful manner. They're often immobile, which therefore keeps them off the road. The drug war is a way for the government to make money, and it needs to be stopped. We need politicians who will speak out about this irrational situation and help lead the country to a more advanced state. A person loaded on a number of prescription medications is moreof a drug addict than someone smoking marijuana.

People can continue to write endless letters to the Alligator on the topic, but no one cares about your opinion on abortion. They already have their own opinion on the topic, and they probably think the other side represents what's wrong with America.

Julia Macaluso SFCC student U U U Suicide is one fundamental right of man The issue of assisted suicide is more philosophical than having either a Democratic standpoint or a Republican standpoint. The question traces back to rights. Do we have the right to kill ourselves? But first we must answer: What are rights? Rights are conditions of existence required by man's nature for survival. They are not granted to us by anything divine -they simply exist as long as man exists on Earth. Defining rights is necessary only to identify the sovereign morality of man in the context of social relationships with other men. The United States was the first nation to recognize the self-evident fact that a man's life is his own. The fundamental right is a man's right to his own life. This means his freedom to act on his own judgment for his own ends. His only limitation is that his actions must not violate the rights of other men. So does man have the right to kill himself? The only way to violate man's rights is to sequester his values. If a man is at a point where he no longer values his life, it is his right to dispose of it. And whether he rolls himself onto the floor or has Nurse Betty pull the plug is his choice only. Congressional law against individual rights will cause the loss of what has superbly separated America from the rest: freedom. Christina O'Neill 4EG t t gomg~a On 09 IJ It Guids gift ideas!

Scientists at UF and Washington University in St. Louis proved that fish are major players in the pollination process of plants as they feed on insects, such as dragonflies, which are major predators of pollinators like bees and butterflies. An article about the study, entitled "Trophic Cascades Across Ecosystems," was co-authored by scientists of both universities and was published in the October issue of Nature magazine. "We found that, at ponds without fish and more dragonflies, flowers did not get as much pollen and were less visited by polauthors. Fish eat dragonfly larvae in ponds, and adult dragonflies eat pollinators, she said. When fish eat the larvae, there are fewer adult dragonflies and more pollinators, flowers and ultimately seeds. The study shows how two separate ecosystems can affect each other with the help of other factors, said Michael McCoy, zoology student and another-author. "People usually don't think that what happens in the water has an impact on what happens on land," he said. "It is just odd because they would never suspect that having fish in the water would actually help plants on land reproduce." Michael McCoy said scientists did not expect the effects to be so strong. "We knew that fish affect the abundance expect to get such a large difference in the number of seeds," he said. "People usually don't think that what happens in the water has an impact on what happens on land."

The study began in 2003 and was completed in 2005 at UF's Katharine Ordway Preserve, a field research and teaching facility located-25 miles from campus managed y Krista McCoy said the facility allowed them to do the study. "They maintain this wild area that has the fish-present ponds and fish-free ponds that we needed for the study," she said. "If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have been able to do this." Mel Sunquist, program director of the Ordway Preserve, said that while preserve staff members were not directly involved with the research, they were happy to support it. Getting the findings published in Nature is a testament to the high quality of the research, he said. "I'm certain that the implications of their findings will have repercussions well beyond the scientific community," Sunquist said. UF-dsiglned 'hurran he huose' %fu soon be tested House meant to withstand Category 5 storms By KARI TARR Alligator Contributing Writer Just days after the final coat of paint was put on, Bob Stroh's most recently built "hurricane house" is about to be put to the test. Officially named the Windstorm Damage Mitigation Training and Demonstration Centers, "hurricane houses" are specially designed buildings placed strategically throughout Florida to show how appropriate building methods can bear the brunt of high winds. With Hurricane Wilma barreling toward Florida, the newest house of the batch in Broward County may be tested soon if Wilma hits Florida as predicted. The centers are built at UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences Extension Services and are used to educate homeowners on alleviating hurricane damage. Each center is capable of withstanding Category 5 hurricanes, said Stroh, the director of the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing at UE. He is the principal investigator of all the centers. The Broward County location marks the fourth in the state, adding to the existing houses in St. Lucie, St. Johns and Escambia counties. All three centers survived last year's hurricane season with no structural damage, Stroh said. He said the buildings withstand the storms because of the special material from which they are made. A major contribution is the use of insulated conHurricane crete forms, or ICF, for Wilma the exterior walls. "It's basically large blocks of Styrofoam with reinforced concrete," said Stroh. Built by the Shimberg Center from a grant sponsored by the Florida Department of Insurance, the centers are fully equipped classrooms with desks, audiovisual equipment, Internet, public bathrooms and administration areas. Training sessions make use of exposed and unfinished interior wall sections to demonstrate how the structural elements and reinforcement features are integrated. Although the newest location has not received its certificate of occupancy, Stroh does not expect it to be empty during Hurricane Wilma. "Last year in Pensacola, we had people knocking on the door (of the hurricane house), asking if they could ride out the storm there," he said. Stroh said he's optimistic and excited at the chance to test the new facility. "If winds get up to 175, then we might have a scrape here and there," he said. "I would put a quarter on the fact that it would not be demolished, and a quarter is a big bet for me." Stroh believes the construction methods used in the hurricane houses can help save lives and reduce energy costs. "It's expensive, but it's doable," he said. Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center expect Wilma to hit Florida late this weekend or early Monday.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 9 ARDUND GAPIE-V LL East side to get Wal-Mart Outlet could add up to 400 jobs By ALEXIS LLOYD Alligator Writer Wal-Mart announced this week its plan to build a Supercenter at Northeast 12th Avenue and Waldo Road at a date yet to be determined. "When the largest retailer puts its flag down in a community, the economy is sure to go up," said Brent Christensen, president of the Gainesville Chamber of Commerce. SFCC is working with East Gainesville to improve the economy and residents' quality of life. "I see the Super Wal-Mart as an economic shot in the arm," said Paul Hutchins, SFCC Dean of Educational Centers. "[The center] will provide access for people in East Gainesville they don't have readily available." It is anticipated that the new Wal-Mart will add 350 to 400 new jobs. Wal-Mart also boosts the economy by paying taxes. Last year alone, Wal-Mart paid $55.6 million in state and local taxes. Since Wal-Mart opened its first Supercenter in 1988, it has never closed or moved a site. "[Wal-Mart] didn't choose this site based on how the area will be five years from now," said Eric Brewer, Wal-Mart community affairs manager for Florida. "We chose East Gainesville based on the existing community." The 204,000-square-foot center -which is almost 18,000 more square feet than the national-average store size -will 'have a gas station and grocery, retail and garden centers. There are more than 120 Supercenters in Florida. "The response from the local community has been overwhelmingly positive," said Brewer, who is also a Gainesville resident. One of the main concerns of residents is how the overflow of people in the area will affect traffic. When the largest retailer puts its flag down in a community, the economy is sure to go up." Brent ChristensenPresident of the Gainesville Chamber of Commerce "I don't know if anyone should have any fears," Brewer said in response. "At the end of the day, our main concern is that our customers are happy. We will be working with Gainesville to disperse traffic around that area." Wal-Mart is planning to add more Supercenters in the Gainesville area, Brewer said. "We certainly hope we'll be able to open more in the future," he said. "Clearly for a market this size, Gainesville is underserved." By ANNA SUGGS Alligator Contributing Writer Rusty Hilliard has been told that he's dated ugly girls. But that's OK with him. Hilliard is blind -a disability he says is the biggest blessing of his life. At 8 years old, Hilliard lost his vision when an artificial shunt in his brain broke overnight. The shunt was implanted when he was 3 months old to relieve pressure on his brain. A piece of the shunt lodged into his optic nerve and made a hole the size of pencil lead, causing Hilliard to lose his vision. Now 28, Hilliard is the preacher at the Newberry Church of Christ, with a wife and a newborn baby. LOcaI He said being unable to see News has given him perspective. "It allows me to get to know people without judging them based on their outer appearances," Hilliard said. He is one of 1.3 million legally blind people in the United States, according to the American Foundation for the Blind. October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and White Cane Safety Day is nationally recognized Oct. 15. However, the Alachua County Council of the Blind will celebrate the day Saturday by holding the ninth annual White Cane Walk, said Maxine Stallings, president of the council. Walkers will meet at 10 a.m. at the McDonald's on University Avenue. The mile-long walk down University Avenue is held to raise public awareness of pedestrian safety for the blind and visually impaired, Stallings said. It will bring attention to the Florida White Cane Law, which states that drivers must stop for pedestrians crossing a street carrying a white cane with a red tip or being led by a guide dog. Sighted people are encouraged to walk blindfolded with a guide to experience what it is like to walk without sight, Stallings said. "The day I give up and say, 'This is meaningless and life has no purpose'that's the day I lose, and I don't intend to lose," Hilliard said.

10, ALLIGATOR S FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2005 ON CAMPUS Undie run OK with police By BRETT KELMAN Alligator Contributing Writer The goal may be 500 participants for Friday's midnight run through Gainesville, but for the Undie 500, sometimes less is more. The run, also called The Great Underwear Dash II, will lead a barely clad horde from the starting line at The Hub north to University Avenue, then east to 13th Street and back. The runners are welcome to run in whatever underwear makes them feel comfortable. UF graphic design major Beau Bergeron, who organized Friday's run, said his motives were simple. "I just thought it would be fun," he said. "Fat or skinny, hot or not. It isn't about seeing other people in their underwear; it's about seeing yourself in your underwear and feeling good." Bergeron's first attempt at an underwear dash inApril saw about 75 students run the on-campus route twice. He has advertised the run through chalk messages on campus and word of mouth. As of Thursday night, the Great Underwear Dash group on thefacebook.com had 139 confirmed runners. "I think life is about being spontaneous. You know, showing your wild side, and maybe you can get a little exercise at the same time," said sophomore Sarah Conlin, who ran in the last dash after Bergeron, then her RA, spread the word around Hume Hail. "I think life is about being spontaneous. You know, showing your wild Side, and maybe you can get a little exercise at the same time." Sarah Conlin UF sophomore UPD spokesman Maj. Brad Barber said that runners whose clothing does not meet certain coverage standards risk indecent-exposure penalties. Though he could not explain those standards, he said briefs likely would meet them. For Gainesville Police, which patrols the dash once it crosses University Avenue, underwear alone would not matter as long as the run remains safe and doesn't interfere with traffic, said spokesman Sgt. Keith Kameg. "Let them run their little hearts out," he said. Locals hustle for Habitat By ADRIANNA RODRIGUEZ Alligator Contributing Writer More than 175 runners are expected Saturday as the UF chapter of Habitat for Humanity hosts the sixth annual Hustle for Humanity 4-mile run. The race begins at 9 a.m. at the McKnight Brain Institute and takes runners around campus, finishing back at the institute. The runners, ranging in age from 10 to 71, will compete in the overall race as well as races separated by gender and age. Winners will receive golden saws and hammers, symbolic of Habitat's mission to build homes for needy families. Hustle for Humanity is the chapter's "signature" event during the Fall. "I like seeing progress and seeing that I've actually made a difference," said junior Matt Soicher, co-vice president of the chapter. The chapter is prepared for this year's event, despite challenges with permits, time mix-ups and the usual course getting displaced by the hurricanes that came through the area last year, Soicher said. Last year the chapter had to chart a new course for the event after the hurricanes made some of the usual course's unpaved areas impassable. The money raised from the event usually goes to local houses the chapter co-sponsors with On the Alachua Habitat Campus for Humanity, but after Hurricane Katrina, the chapter decided to donate to Habitat for Humanity International, which is working in areas affected by the hurricane. Chapter president Jeff. Wong estimated this year's Hustle for Humanity would raise more than $2,000. "It's always an exciting event," he said. "It's a great feeling to go all out." Registration for Hustle for Humanity is $12 for UF and SFCC students and $15 for non-students before Saturday, or $20 at the race. 499 Daily Lunch Specials 10% discount for UF employees Happy Hour 4pm-9pm $4 Pitchers -$100 Drafts FRI: $2 Pitchers @ Live Music SA IS 1 Drafts -$1 Wells 1728 W.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 11 DRILLNG t FUTURE OIL, from page 1 natural gas, which is enough to heat 12.3 million homes for 15 years, he added. "The demand for oil has been growing, and it continues to grow, so we have to drill in more places," Bush said. But Nelson questioned whether drilling more oil in the hurricaneprone Gulf would satiate the nation's demand for oil. "We're going to cut out future capital because the Gulf is a hurricane highway," Nelson said. Protecting homeland security Nelson, who has consistently fought against drilling during his tenure, said he was confident Florida's coast would continue to be drill-free for many more years because the military uses the Eastern Gulf as a training ground. "Oil rigs emit signals that interfere with military operations," he said. "The Eastern Gulf of Mexico is the largest area of training in the U.S." Significant amounts of pilot training happen at Eglin Air Force Base, located near Fort Walton Beach. "At some poini, the admirals and generals will stand up and say, 'You're not going to hurt the defense of this country by takMegan Schaub /Alligator Three Sarasota locals skim board on Siesta Key on Saturday afternoon. Some say proposed offshore oil drilling will affect Florida's $50 billion tourism industry. ing away our training ground,"' Nelson said. Nelson also said the U.S. reliance on foreign oil also threatens national security. "What happens if an oil tanker sinks in the, [Persian Gulf]?" asked Nelson. "We must cut our addiction to oil." Bacterial protection UP botany professor Joseph Davis said drilling might not have a negative effect on the shoreline because a certain type of bacteria thrives on seeping petroleum. Therefore, drilling in most parts of the Gulf should be environmentally sound because the bacteria will eat excess oil before it becomes a problem, said Davis, who cited a 1978 research article in Applied and Environmental Microbiology. "If you supply the proper food [petroleum], the type of bacteria will show up and consume it," Davis said. University officials contend e-mails are not filed by date but subject H EAR ING, from page 1 Grapski's original complaint against Machen contained two counts. The first stated that Grapski e-mailed .his request for records to Machen on June 7, and Machen responded Aug. 10 that "no such documents exist." Roundtree dismissed this, saying Grapski's complaint misled the court by neglecting to mention intermediate responses from Machen's designees in which they did provide some documents. "I think anyone that reads the English language would read Count One and read that the university just stonewalled Mr. Grapski," Roundtree said. The judge's ruling on that count allows Grapski to clarify his claims and file again, which he said he plans to do. The second count states that Grapski requested all e-mails that Machen sent and received dated June 2. Grapski said he knows at least one such record exists because he sent Machen an e-mail on that date and received a response. Roundtree dismissed this count because Grapski requested the document by date rather than by subject. This dismissal does not allow refiling. In an Oct. 4 e-mail to Grapski, UF Associate Director of News and Public Affairs Steve Orlando wrote that Machen's e-mails from those dates had been deleted and that the messages he saves are stored by subject. "I think the response by the university ..is that they don't keep them by date," Roundtree said. "What is wrong with that response?" Gary Edinger, Grapski's attorney, said such a denial limits the availability of public records. "There is no possible way that a citizen is going to know what the subject matter of each of those emails is," Edinger said. Florida law states that in order for a document to be withheld, it must be excused by a specific legal exemption, such as national security. Failure to accommodate an agency's filing system for records is not listed in the laws as a viable exemptionEdinger said the burden of a request is no excuse for its denial. "We know the requests are a pain in the butt," said Edinger, "(But) we find UF it politically valuable, in fact ______ 0-,51 necessary, to have a transparent political system." Machen's counsel, John DeVault, offered two other reasons for the judge to throw out Grapski's second count. He said the June 2 e-mail from Grapski did not constitute a public record anyway because it did not meet the legal requirement of being "in connection with the transaction of official business." "Students whining to the president about things that are wrong with Student Government and (Florida) Blue Key is not an official public record," said DeVault, an FBK alumnus and former Florida Bar president. UF's public records policy requires administrators to retain "general correspondence' for three fiscal years. DeVault also argued there was no proof Machen's Staff ever received Grapski's request for June 2 e-mails. Due to a subpoena, Alligator Editor Mike Gimignani was compelled to testify that Orlando told him he had received the request. Grapski's original complaint states that he "has a keen interest in the relationship between the University of Florida and a private corporation known as Florida Blue Key, Inc." .Grapski fought a years-long legal battle with FBK in the '90s, claiming the group defamed him during his campaign for election as student body president. He was eventually awarded more than $6 million. Tim casey/ Alligator Staff Charles Grapski reviews his notes at the Alachua County Civil Justice Center on Thursday. WA Resisting the drill Florida lobbyists and politicians argue that drilling will ruin Florida's $50 billion tourism economy. "There's a reason people don't plan their summer vacations on the beaches of Galveston, Texas," said Mark Ferrulo, director of Florida Public Interest Research Group. Ferrulo and Nelson both said Florida politicians and lobbyists have historically formed 'a "bipartisan united front" against oil drilling, but Ferrulo said that because of the increased demand for oil, some officials are swaying. Gov. Jeb Bush, who has fought against all types of drilling during his leadership, recently proposed a compromise to Congress that would allow drilling 125 miles or more off Florida's coast. U.S. Rep. Cliff Stearns, ROcala, said he is opposed, to drilling for environmental reasons but added in a prepared statement that "our nation needs to increase domestic production, and there will be more drilling in the Gulf." Ferrulo, who has fought against drilling for 20 years, seemed optimistic. "We've been on the ropes many times before and came out victorious," he said.

12, ALLIGATOR N FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2005 Oppsin cmpus groups'hs aborcoon debate By ASHTON GROSZ Alligator Writer More than 100 students participated in a heated debate about the merits of moral and legal concerns regarding abortion Thursdaynight. In one of the evening's few agreements, the six panelists from organizers UF Pro-Life Alliance and Vox: Voices for Planned Parenthood said they do not encourage abortion. Vox panelists said that while their goal as pro-choice advocates is to safeguard women's right to choose, they encourage comprehensive sex education and condom use asa means of preventing pregnancy, with abortion being a last resort. "We believe it should be rare because it can be rare," said Vox President Sara Hanson. Pro-Life Alliance panelists denounced abortion because choices I think everyone in here would agree that killing innocent people is wrong and should be illegal." Kate Keeley Alliance President that hurt others -which they argue include fetuses -should not be supported. Alliance President Kate Keeley contended that from the moment of fertilization, the embryo possesses a genetic fingerprint unique from its parents' and is a human worthy of legal protection. She compared abortion to slavery, the Holocaust and genocide in Darfur, Africa. "I think everyone in here would agree that killing innocent people is wrong and should be illegal," Keeley said. But making abortion illegal wouldn't eliminate it, said Vox Outreach ChairJustin Bangs. Hanson said they would continue in unsafe ways that threaten women's health. Bangs reaffirmed that sex education was the key to limiting the number of abortions performed. "We believe that people should have all the information and should be taught in a comprehensive manner and not scared," he said.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 21 Gold mumdoost Loche to sit out weekend meet M UF WOMEN'S TEAM DEFEATED SMU 125-118 ON THURSDAY. By RACHEL ROBINS Alligator Writer The UF men's and women's swimming and diving teams are heading to the Lone Star State, but they will be without their biggest cowboy. UF senior and Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte will not be participating in this weekend's contest against California and Texas. Lochte jammed his shoulder in last week's competition. He swan in the first meet against Virginia, but sat out the next day at South Carolina. Coach Gregg Troy is not overly concerned with the injury but decided not to bring Lochte to Texas. "If this was the end of the year, he would go, but it is not worth it now," Troy said. With Lochte out, the men's team (2-0, 1-0 SEC) will rely on other swimmers to fill the void. Bradley Ally and Darian Townsend have already started the season strong. "Bradley's performance was outstanding, but I think he could be better," Troy said. "Training is more important than the actual events. We have to figure out what [Ally] is best at." However, Ally was just thankful to be able to participate in his collegiate debut. "I was happy that I was healthy," he said. Townsend on the other hand, benefited from having one season already on the books. "[Townsend] is handling the whole training dynamic better," Troy said. "Maturity is probably the key word." Troy believes Townsend has ability to make up for the loss of Lochte this Troy weekend. "With Ryan being out, we have to step up," Townsend said In addition, Troy mentions Brian Hartley as another swimmer that will be vital to the Gators success. The women's team (2-0, 1-0 SEC) also has problems to solve. The team brought 24 women to Southern Methodist for Thursday's 125-118 win against the Mustangs. The eight fastest swimmers will compete today in the Dallas Classic. This proves to be a problem for Troy, who has to be in two places at once. While part of the women's team is in Dallas, the men's team will be competing in Austin. Troy decided to travel with the men, because the women have the lighter meet, with only eight swimmers racing. Assistant coaches Martyn Wilby and Hollie Bonewit will take Troy's place. Even though Troy will not be at the women's meet, he expects certain swimmers to build upon their season-opening success. Freshman known for offense Inconsistent guard play hindering development "L E, from page 23 "I wish someone would've shown us something," Hevesy said. "We went into that game without leokig at one shot of how they defend empty. That's one of the faux pas, I guess, you get seeing the first snap." Part of the problem, Meyer said, was that the Tigers had seen few empty backfield sets this season under first-year defensive coordinator Bo Peliri, who came to LSU after serving as defensive coordinator at Oklahoma in 2004 and Nebraska in 2003. "We made a million phone calls to find out what he had done in the past," Meyer said. Still, Degory said preparation wasn't the issue. "They didn't really catch us by surprise," Degory said. "[Offensivecoordinator Dan] Mullen and Coach Hevesy prepared us for almost anything. I think once we got out there, we didn't do the stuff we know how to do." And empty backfield or not, the Tigers still brought pressure. The key, Hevesy said, is executing quicker passing plays. "You could still always be short," Hevesy said. "We went to six a couple times, and they brought seven. We've got to have hot routes built to get rid of the ball fast." But according to Meyer and Leak, those kinds of quick outlets, such as slants and hitches, are in place. It's just that receivers have had trouble spontaneously adjusting when such plays are needed. "Receivers have to -make their adjustments on the go sometimes," Leak said. "We're getting better at that. Receivers are getting more comfortable reading those coverages and getting open." To make matters worse, the coaching staff is still tinkering to find a stable combination of its oftinjured guards. The Gators experienced their fifth different combination of, guards this season, with junior Steve Rissler and senior Tavares Washington starting against LSU. .-,,1 _. .. Offensive tackle Randy Hand looks to throw a block against Mississippi State. UF's offensive line is struggling in a new system. The duo looks to remain in the starting lineup, as freshman Jim Tartt is suffering from a sprained ankle. Denying a sufficient amount of experience to any candidate, the shuffling at guard has further hindered the adjustment of the offensive line to a new offensive system. "Guard play has been a little spotty," Meyer said. "Our tackles actually played one of their better games against LSU. But our guard play -we're trying to find the right combination." Despite all the scheme and personnel problems they've faced through their first seven games, UF's offensive linemen remain motivated by a new, more personal goal. "We have four games left in the season, and we're going to try to prove everybody wrong," Degory said. "That's the big focus for us offensively, to show that this really works." HODGE, from page 23 Before he ever arrived in the United States, however, he had his sights set on the Gators. "I always said that I was coming here," Hodge said. "In my freshman year, I was in Puerto Rico, and we used to do the press that Florida did, and we had the same uniforms at my high school. "So when I came [to America], I told my coach that I want to go to Florida, and then my coach said 'Alright, you need to work hard."' While it was initially difficult for Hodge to be away from his family, their support helped him get through the challenges. "The first year it was hard," Hodge said. "But I know that they support me, and my mom, she said, 'You need to do what you want to do,' so she helped me a lot, and I know she is going to be over there all the time." Having attained a good grasp of the English language, Hodge will be expected to contribute right away for the Gators. With Taurean Green expected to start at the point, the Gators are wondering whether Hodge will contribute as a pure point guard like Green or a proven scorer in the mold of Roberson. "[1 moved] to learn English, to get a good education, and I wanted to play basketball" Walter Hodge UF guard "I'm hoping Walter can be that [scorer], but he hasn'L proven that yet, and my expectation on him is not that he needs to do that," UF coach Billy Donovan said. "I think Walter has to come in and be solid and be sound and someone that we can rely on, and if he is open, knock down shots." ANASTASIS, from page 23 on, instead of pumping his shoulder with anti-inflamnatories, inject his legs with WD-40. We all know it's not Leak's fault that he doesn't sport the Michael Vick wheels necessary in the spread, so the coaching staff should compensate and loosen up those joints. -Scrimmage against Kentucky beforeevery game. Think of the confidence it would build with Leak and Co. by the time the real games come around. All Jeremy Foley has to do is promise the Wildcats some reading classes and they'll be sprinting down to Gainesville. Throw it to the tallest player on the first play of the game. OK, so that's a cheap way to get Tate Casey the ball, but do you have any better ideas? Make linebacker Earl Everett the third-down back. You saw him rush for 32 yards on -that fake punt against Alabama. -Give the ball to Hetland at the 30-yard line. It's become quite obvious he has become UF's MVP. Forget the end zone -just get to the 30-yard line, and UF will have itself a guaranteed 47-yarder every time. Or the Gators could just blame their woes on Nike and forfeit the season.

In Coach Becky Burleigh's words, the Gators simply "blew it."' After being held without a goal for the first time in more than a year, the Gators (10-4-1, 5-2-1 SEC) were forced to face the reality that, barring nothing short of a miracle, this season would end without an SEC title once again. But Burleigh insists there's still plenty to play for. From a perspective of pragmatism alone, Burleigh said she would like her team focus on seeding for an impending run in the SEC Tournament, a tournament the Gators won last year after a similarly disappointing regular season. "The higher the seed, the better the draw you're going to get, and the fact is that all of these games coming up are important to us in the NCAA Tournament as well," Burleigh said. "We still MONDAY NIGHT All you can eat sushi! check out our V daily specials Now Showing Oct. 21-27 tth Hippodrome Ciema 25 se2nd Mp, Gainesville Fri: 7:00 & 9.009m, Sat: 430, 7:00 & 9-0pm Sim: 230.6 ) 8:30pm; Toe: 7 00 & 9:00pm.

Playing another pair of conference opponents this weekend, the Gators won't have the pressure of being the SEC favorites for the first time this season. "I don't think depth is a problem with US, and I feel like every week someone steps up to score some goa Is." Melanie Booth UFjunior forward Tonight, UF will go up against a Louisiana State (6-7-2, 2-5-1 SEC) team that is an under-theradar threat for Burleigh and her squad. "LSU is an up-and-coming team," she said. "They started off the season slow, but they have a new coach. They're trying to put in a new system, and I think they're starting to come around. "I thought they were one of the best teams we played in the SEC all last'year." That message should resonate well with the team. Senior forward Jessica Young said that this team's struggles have come from periodic lapses of motivation rather than a lack of talent. "It doesn't seem to matter who our competition is, it just 4 matters who shows up to play. And if we all show up to play, and we're all there to win, then I think we've already proved we can beat tough opponents," she said. The Gators also will travel to Fayetteville, Ark., on Sunday to take on the Razorbacks. MORE INJURIES: The Gators lost yet another offensive threat during last Sunday's match. After a recent slew of injuries allowed Bianca Gibbs to see increased playing time, the sophomore forward suffered an injury of her own. Gibbs hyperextended her knee against Mississippi, leaving her status uncertain for tonight's game. However, she did practice with the team on Wednesday. Burleigh said Gibbs might play this weekend. Freshman forward Ameera Abdullah, who has sat out with a stress fracture, will be re-evaluated today but will not take the field this weekend. Even with the ever-growing list of injuries, junior Melanie Booth remains confident that the offense has yet to reach its breaking point. "I don't think depth is a problem with us, and I feel like every week someone steps up to score some goals," Booth said.

Sports FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@aliigator.org These days it's difficult to tell whether Chris Leak takes more hits on or off the football field. The quarterback has withstood a whirlwind of criticism after his 11-for-30, 107-yard outing against Louisiana State on Saturday. But don't blame the signal caller, says offensive lineman Mike Degory. "Our job is to give Chris as much time as possible," said the senior center. "And we haven't been living up to our part of the bargain." The Gators' offensive line has allowed a Southeastern Conference-worst 24 sacks this season, including four in losses to LSU and Alabama and five during a win against Tennessee. With protection that porous, Leak's anemic numbers don't surprise Coach Urban Meyer. "We're not protecting [Leak] very well," Meyer said. "What happens is a quarterback gets spooked, and even when he's protected, "Our job is to give Chri time as possible. We [lived] up to our part o gain. his feet aren't going to get set." According to offensive Er Hevesy, UF's pass-protection b primarily the result of mental e as much "Mentally, there are still a few [mistakes]," Hevesy said.

Even the largest high schools with a few thousand students pale in comparison to the 48,000-student fish bowl that is UF. Add in a language barrier and the pressures of stepping onto a defending Southeastern Conference-championship team, and you get Walter Hodge, the Gators new 6-foot guard from Guaynabo, Puerto Rico. There's plenty of lofty expectations for Hodge, who is expected to help UF make up for the loss of Anthony Roberson. It's a tall task for a freshman, and the transition from high school to college is something Kim Klement/ Alligator Walter Hodge performs a drill during Madness 2005. He will try to help fill the void left by Anthony Roberson's departure. that the. Florida Air Academy graduate has taken in stride. "The first week it was hard because it's a big change from high school to college," Hodge said. "But everybody is helping me, and it's going good." Hodge arrived at UF with a high school resume that would make any college recruiter drool. He averaged 25.4 points per game, 5.4 steals and 4.2 assists his senior season as he led FAA to a 29-0 mark and a state championship. He was named both the Florida Gatorade Player of the Year and MVP of the state tournament after scoring 33 points in the title game, a 74-69 win over Jacksonville Ribault. Getting to that point, however, was not easy. Hodge moved to Melbourne from Puerto Rico after his freshman year of high school without his immediate family. "[I moved] to learn English, to get a good education, and I wanted to play basketball" Hodge said. Hodge took official visits to UF and Auburn while in high school, but he didn't sign his letter of intent until the spring signing period in April. Rightuntil the end, Hodgehad programs such as Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts and Kansas -where his former high school teammate Sasha Kaun plays -on his trail.

But it might ultimately be Wilma who ,will determine whether this weekend will be cut short. Two of the top teams in the Southeastern Conference West will be visiting the O'Connell Center this weekend to take on the No. 4 UF volleyball team (18-1, 8-0). The Gators will host a hot Arkansas team (13-7, 6-2) tonight in the SEC Match of the Week. The Razorbacks, who have now won seven of their last nine games, currently sit just a half game out of first place in the SEC West. The Gators' biggest challenge against Arkansas will be combating the Razorbacks' stellar blocking at the net.

Ten years ago, I think it could have been answered the same way," UF coach Mary Wise said. "Serving and blocking is their bread and butter and has been for a nunber of years." SEC Match of the Week aside, this weekend's real drama will come in UF's match against Louisiana State (15-4, 5-3), scheduled for Sunday. W i t h Wise IfHurricane Wilma looming, it could be another disaster for the Tigers, who will once again have weather on their minds. Due to the effects of Hurricane Katrina, LSU did not play its first home game of the 2005 season until one week ago. LSU's biggest test this weekend may not be trying to defeat the No. 4 team in the country, but just gettingto the arena. The Tigers will play Georgia in if I ~elt -i Athens tonight before traveling to Gainesville. "It's probably not a coincidence that you say LSU, and weather becomes an issue," Wise said. "If any team has had as rough of a time dealing with the after-effects of Hurricane Katrina, obviously, -it was LSU." Despite the possibility of severe weather, the match is currently still scheduled for Sunday at 1:30 p.m. LSU started strong this season even without the luxury of playing at home. The Tigers most impressive victory came against Notre Dame, the team that handed the Gators their only loss this season. Eventually the 17-game road trip began to wear on the Tigers. "It's really a shame, because they were playing so well early on," Wise said. "I think the shame is who knows what LSU's record would be like if they had those home matches. "But I think last week was great for them to kind of get back into a groove." Do friends and family think you worry too much?

For Urban Meyer and his Gators, it has been a long start to the season. Every other Southeastern Conference team except for Vanderbilt has already had a bye week. "This is the one of the longest I've gone without a bye," Meyer said. "With a lack of depth and the couple of injuries we have, this isa great time to have it. It gives a chance for some of these guys to get healthy, but also it gives them a chance to clear their minds a little bit and'come back Sunday night ready to go." Tbe Gators practiced lightly this week, so Meyer expects his team to come back fresh after the weekend. "You wish you got a darn win before it, but it's necessary," he said. Safety Jarvis Herring said he plans to go to Cleveland to see his cousin Andre Davis play. Davis, a former UF linebacker that is one of the NFL leaders in tackles this season, now plays for the Browns and will face Detroit on Sunday. 0 SPEED KILLS: Although Meyer said that the speed of the SEC hasn't surprised him, he admitted that the faster teams are the ones that have given the Gators trouhe on offense this year -like Teen, Ala and LSU, are the ones. "The fast teams have given as a lot of prablems, the real fast ones," Meyer said. "I thought we've moved the ball [well] against the teams that we're faster than. Obviously, [Georgia], this team we're playing'[next] is faster or as fast as we are." Meyer said if the Gators can run the ball better, that would slow some of the fast defenses down a bit. Meyer said he is going to make some minor tweaks in the offense for the Georgia game as well. "Conceptually, how different is it going to be? It's still in the process," Meyer said. "There will be some different things, but there are some different things each week." Michelle Stewart, Ian Fisher,/ Alligator Staff
