Martinez tours UF, lectures law students
* ON THE AGENDA: BRIGHT
FUTURES, 'SMART HOUSES'
AND GATORS FOOTBALL.
By OLIVIA ORMOS
Alligator Contributing Writer
U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez, R-Fla.,
came to Gainesville and UF on
Friday, listening to the city's. con-
cerns and lecturing to a crowd at
the Levin College of Law.
UF officials took Martinez
on a tour of the College of
Engineering's Gator-Tech Smart
House, a demonstration home lo-
cated within the Oak Hammock
Continuous Care Retirement
Community that features state-
of-the-art ap-
pliances and
0 design.
Martinez
said he en-
joyed his visit
to the Smart
Martinez House, adding
that he "would
love to move into one of these
houses one day, as long as it had
ESPN."
The FSU alumnus said
he hopes the Gators will de-
feat Georgia on Saturday in.
Jacksonville.
"I was here cheering my
heart out for the Gators in the
Tennessee game," said Martinez
in an interview on the way to
his Levin appointment, "which
is something I don't normally do
because I think everyone should
be partisan to their alma mater.
But anytime Florida State and
Florida aren't playing each-other,
I'm always looking forward to a
Gator victory."

Tolbert hosts Mudfest
By MARIA LAVERGHETTA
Alligator Contributing Writer
It gets everywhere: in your eyes, in
your ears, on your clothes.
"You know what the worst thing
is?" asked Regina Baptiste, Tolbert
Area Council treasurer. "When it goes
through your toes."
Playing in the mud may be messy
and gross, but for many at Mudfest, it
also was a lot of fun.
"The key here-is to take perfectly nor-
mal games and add mud," said James
Paine, one of the event's participants.
Once a year, the Tolbert Area lawn
becomes Mudfest, a 60-by-30-foot mud
pit created strictly for dorm residents to
get completely covered in mud and play
games such as mud polo and mud tug.
The finals, which took place Sunday,
saw students in attendance cheering on
their respective floors.
East Hall came away the event's big
victor, taking home first place plaques
in all four boy-and-girl events. They
also won universally in mud polo and
ultimate frisbee.
Tolbert Hall won for boys volleyball
and Riker Hall girls won for mud tug.
As part of a tradition since 1969, the
mud used in the event is imported from
Georgia in a huge dump truck.
But with higher gas prices this year,
the cost of Mudfest's mud pit was
$4,800, up $300 from last year.
"The key here is to take per-
fectly normal games and add
mud."
James Paine
event participant
"Three-hundred dollars doesn't
sound like much, but that's 30 activ-
ity cards we have to sell," said Danielle
Vitale, president of Tolbert Area
Council.
Tolbert participant Meghan
Trivunovich said she loved playing
in the pit but hated getting out of the
mud.
"It's fun when you're in there, but
when you're out you're like 'OK, I want
this off me,'" Trivunovich said.
Less water was deliberately used
to create a sticker mud paste and that

A degree from UF's College of Journalism

something for graduating students in the

failure to comply with national standards of
"governance and administration."
The report called
U F the climate between
Administration Hynes and faculty
"desperate," citing a
fundamental lack of trust for the dean among
reasons for the conflict.
About 20 faculty members told the team
they "had experienced retribution from the
dean or feared it if they displeased her," the
report stated.
"While this noncompliance seems nega-

problematic if not addressed," Hynes said in
response.

Anthrax scare cause of
Larsen Hall evacuation
White powder suspected to be
anthrax was found in an engineer-
ing department mailroom Friday
afternoon, forcing the evacuation
of staff and students and prompt-
ing investigation by the Gainesville
Hazardous Materials Unit.
Electrical and Computer
Engineering Program Assistant
Laurie Edvardsson opened a
package containing an engineer-
ing publication the department
routinely receives in the mailroom
of Larsen Hall. She found a thick
line of white powder down the
center of the magazine and more
of the powder dusted throughout
the box.
She said she wasn't worried,
but "irritated that there was this
stuff all over the box."
Edvardsson called the publish-
ing company, which told her the
unidentified powder didn't belong.
Her supervisor Keith Rambo,
department director of finance
and administration, contacted
the UF Office of Environmental
Health & Safety, which called in
the Gainesville Fire Department's
Hazardous Materials Unit.
"It's the first time I've ever seen
Hazmat in action up dose and per-
sonal. I mean, I've seen it on TV,"
Edvardsson said. "It was really.
kind of interesting."
The unit arrived wearing gas
masks and white suits made of
Tyvek, or plasticized paper.
University Police guarded the
mailroom, but Edvardsson said the
mood was light as the hazardous
materials team inspected the area.
. "We had a good time," she said.
"I'm sure they had a good chuckle
over us."

The unit put the powder into

Rambo said the material was
most likely a "release agent,"
which publishing companies
spray over pages to keep them
from sticking together. Usually,
the release agent is applied in
such a minute amount that it al-

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
New rule leaves groups angry
By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org
A new wrinkle in how Student
Government-funded organizations
spend their money steamed some
students Sunday night.
Set by the SG Budget and
Appropriations Committee and
announced last week, the new
rule does not allow organizations
funded with student money to
spend more than half of their event
budgets on a speaker.
At least two of the eight groups
hoping to receive money expressed
dissatisfaction with the limitation
at the second budget hearings for
special events Sunday night.
Pride Student Union President
Allison Andrews said the new
rule would ruin Pride Awareness

during the meeting. "It really is like

Students mugged
By STEPHANIE RODRIGUEZ

srodriguez@alligator.org
Walking home with his
girlfriend, he saw a black
shadow out of the comer of
his eye.
"Give me your wallet,"
the attacker said as he point-
ed a gun at the chest of the
23-year-old UF student.
In fear for his life and his
girlfriend's, he complied
with the mugger's threaten-
ing demands.
The UF students, who
asked to remain anonymous,
were walking from Gator
City to their residence on
Northwest Sixth Place at
about 2 a.m. Thursday when
they were robbed.
"I always thought that
we live in a safe area," said
the male student. "This has
made me re-evaluate "the
situation."
The students' assailant
was wearing a ski mask and
was crouched
Public down beside a
Safety wall before he at-
tacked them.
The masked robber not
only took the male student's
wallet but also took the
female student's cellular
phone as she was using it.
"I want people to be
aware that it's dangerous to
walk at night in the area,"
said the male student.

Department is investigating
the incident.

Hare Krishna wedding ceremony attracts hundreds
* WEDDING FEAST WELCOMED ALL TO WATCH
AND PARTICIPATE IN KRISHNA TRADITION.
By TIM HUSSIN
Alligator Contributing Writer
Dousing the fire with purified butter, a priest chanted in
Sanskrit as the oils fueled the celestial flame.
The fluid motion of the priest's arms implored the lord to
watch over this most popular ceremony of the Hare Krishna
religion a wedding.
Friends and family, as well as devoted Krishna lunch pa-
trons and two religion classes, helped celebrate the wedding
of Andy Hunter and Meryl Strauss on Friday on the Plaza of
the Americas.
A special feast in the wedding party's honor, including fried
vegetables, cheesecake and a variety of other dishes, attracted
634 people to the cultural event.
After being legally married, Hunter, 24, a Hare Krishna fol-
lower, and Strauss, 20, president of Bhakti Yoga Club and UF
student, participated in the ancient ceremony for the annual
festival put on by the Hare Krishnas.
Veda Sara (left), the priest of the wedding, chants in Sanskrit as the celestial fire flares. During the ceremony, the
bride and groom sat behind the fire, which represents the presence of God.
STUDENT HEALTH
Flu vaccine available today
By RACHEL LEWINTER
Alligator Contributing Writer
Getting stung is better than
catching the bug.
That's what UF Student Health
Care Center staff are telling stu-
dents as flu vaccinations become
available campus-wide today.
High-risk individuals were
offered the vaccine a week earlier.
On the first day, 58 people came to
be vaccinated, said Jane Cullen,
associate director for nursing at
the center.
"We certainly hope the word
gets out to high-risk individuals,"
Cullen said.
The vaccine is offered in two
forms to all students, faculty and
staff at the Infirmary, all satellite
clinics, the Reitz Union and the
Health Science Center.
The center ordered 5,000 injec-
tions and 100 doses of FluMist
and is on a waiting list to receive
more, Cullen said. The fee begins
at $5 for students and $20 for fac-
ulty and staff.
People may opt to receive the
FluMist, which is a live virus ad-
ministered through a nasal spray
that costs $30 for students and $40
for faculty and staff.
"The FluMist is very safe and
very effective," she said. "You just
need to meet the specific criteria to
receive it."
"Once the vaccines are
gone, they're gone."
Jane Cullen
associate director for-nursing,
UF Student Health Care Center
According to the center's Web
site, those having allergies to eggs,
chronic illnesses, HIV, AIDS or
cancer should not opt for FluMist.
The shot and FluMist are
equally effective, Cullen said. It
takes two weeks to build up im-
munity once a person receives the
vaccine, so students should not
put off getting one.
"Once the vaccines are gone,
they're gone," Cullen said.
Ideally, students to get vacci-
nated before Thanksgiving.
"You can go to class with a
cold," she said, "but most people
can't go to class with the flu."
Students have a big miscon-
ception that the two are the same
thing, she said. True influenza
comes on quickly, with a high
fever, aches and pains and a se-
vere chest cough, Cullen said. The
common cold comes on gradually,
and although a person might ex-
perience congestion, symptoms
typically don't include high fever.
It is important for college stu-
dents to get vaccinated because
some have poor health habits that
weaken their immune systems,
including not getting adequate
sleep, poor eating habits and par-
tying too much, Cullen said.
Students are typically in
crowded conditions, whether it's
small dorm rooms, bathrooms
shared with 30 others or packed,
classrooms.
"Someone coughs and sput-
ters, and it fills up the classroom,"
Cullen said.
Last year, the flu left UF se-
nior Alicia Karlin in bed for two
weeks, causing her to fall behind
in her classes.
"It felt like the flu took over my
entire body," she said, "from the
pounding of my head down to the
aching of my toes."
Karlin said she will be first in
line to get a flu shot.
For more information on in-
fluenza and where to obtain a flu
vaccine, visit http://shcc.ufl.edu/
medical/flu.htm.
The bride and groom were showered with flower petals as
they ascended steps leading to a stage covered with hanging
garlands and white cloth. They took a seat behind an arrange-
ment of bricks surrounded with fruit and incense where the
fire would be lit to begin the ceremony.
"This ancient ceremony being performed here is a sacred
act that is available for human beings," said Rtadhvaja Swami,
director of the Hare Krishna Student Center.
The ceremony, based on 5,000 years of tradition, began
with welcoming the Lord into brass pots and lighting the fire,
inviting the presence of God to witness the rest of the wed-
ding and ensure a long married life for the couple.
Vedasara Das, director of the Krishna lunch program at
Georgia Tech and the priest who performed the wedding,
spent 20 years of his youth at a school in western India to
learn the philosophy and procedure of ceremonies in the Hare
Krishna tradition.
Throughout the wedding, he sprinkled grains, black and
white sesame seeds, barley and purified butter onto the fire.
"They signify auspicious grains that are accepted by the
gods," Vedasara said.
Savyasaci Das, director of UF's Krishna lunch program,
said the university was very cooperative during the five
weeks it took to get the fire and festival approved by offi-
cials.
"It's not a barbecue or a bonfire," Savyasaci said. "It's a
ceremonial fire in a contained area."
Savyasaci said the ceremony typically lasts for three days
in India, but for timing purposes, they shortened it to lunch-
time so it would be open to the university.
Chris Kovachev, a junior English major who attends Krishna
lunch five days a week, said Hunter and Strauss' wedding in
the plaza was a fitting way to celebrate their marriage.
"They spend so much time at the university that it's only
fitting that they crown their relationship here," he said.
The Bhakti Yoga Club and the families of the bride and
groom funded the wedding.
I"That's what student dubs are for --to provide venues for
students to have different cultural and ethnic experiences,"
Swami said. "Most of these students have never seen an an-
cient ceremony like this."
Mirna Amaya, a senior pre-med student, said the wedding
was beautiful.
"For those of us that don't know much about the religion, I
think it was a very nice cultural experience," she said.
UF therapy exported

Doctors and patients in
Managua, Nicaragua, know why
it's great to be a Florida Gator.
Every year for the past
three years, UF's Department
of Physical Therapy has sent
a team of graduate students
and faculty to the University of
Nicaragua-Managua to teach
new physical therapy techniques
to local doctors.
Teachings range from
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular
Facilitation (PNF) techniques -
a type of flexibility exercise to
treating shoulder impingement,
the cause of shoulder pain.
The trip is approximately one
week long.
"Each year we add differ-
ent points to it," said Jennifer
Stevens, a postdoctorate student
in UF's Department of Physical
Therapy.
She added that the experi-
ence is a diversifying one.
"The students learn to appre-
cate what they have in the U.S.,"
she said. "I think it benefits both
Nicaragua and students."
Monica Ready, a UF alumna,
said she had a remarkable expe-
rience on her trip in March 2005
because she was able to teach
physical therapy while still be--
ing a student.
"Definitely being able to
help professors teach physical
therapy in class
Student was a great experi-
Life ence," she said. "We
weren't yet physi-
cal therapists, yet there we are
teaching a class."
Funding for the project pri-
marily comes from fundraising
efforts made by the Student
Physical Therapy Association
at UF.
On Saturday, the students
participated in an on-campus 5K
run that raised more than $15,000
from local contributors and medi-
cal sponsors, saidivo Solis, presi-
dent of the association.
The next trip will be at the
end of February 2006.

Editorial
Fuzzy approach
UF needs plan
for hurricane season
The unpredictable beast of Hurricane Wilma is bearing
down on Florida. Although it's supposed to hit South
Florida today, Gainesville won't be exempt from tropi-
cal storm-force winds.
Officials announced late Sunday afternoon on the UF Web
site that classes will be held as normal today.
We think it's too little, too late.
Students didn't know if and when administrators would
announce whether UF was closed. We were forced to make
personal decisions without knowing anything about our
university's position.
UF should have a cohesive plan in place for such situa-
tions.
This is a Florida university made up primarily of in-
state students. With their families in the path of hurricanes,
students need to know the status of their classes as soon as
possible.
We understand that hurricanes, especially ones like
Wilma, are unpredictable and that officials can't make a deci-
sion far in advance. But there should be a contingency plan
of some sort.
Students need to know where and when to look for in-
formation. They need to know whether their absences are
excused if they're stuck in their hometowns. They need to
know what plans of action the university is considering.
To make everything run more smoothly, officials could
create a plan with the help of student representatives, who
know what inconveniences a hurricane can bring.
But it appears the decision of whether to close the univer-
sity is a tad off the cuff.
Last year, UF President Bernie Machen canceled classes
when even a hint of rain blew our way. He had never ex-
*perienced hurricane season and wasn't about to take any
chances,
We applaud his cautious attitude. However, students
were still in the dark about class cancellation until the last
minute.
A time should be set in stone for announcing whether the
university will be closed.
If, by that allotted time, officials are still unsure whether
a hurricane will hit, they should play it safe and cancel
classes.
And they must keep in mind that when a hurricane makes
landfall in Florida, it doesn't just affect the area it hits. Most
students aren't residents of Gainesville; they're residents of
Miami, St. Petersburg, Tampa and other Florida cities.
When the university doesn't have a policy on absences
during hurricanes, students can't make educated decisions
about staying with their families.
It doesn't make sense that instructors have the power to
penalize students absent on a day when their families and
homes are facing 100-mph winds. Is it fair to tell students
who were helping their families that they can't make up tests
or homework? Or that because they took the safe route dur-
ing an act of God, they've missed more classes than allowed
so "that's their drop?"
Over the weekend, some returned to their homes all over
the state. If the university had a standardized plan, those
students would have been able to take it into consideration
when deciding whether to ride out the hurricane at home.
Although under our proposed rules UF officials would
have been unsure enough of Wilma's impact to cancel classes
today, we respect their decision to keep the university open.
What we can't understand is why a Florida school is so
unorganized in dealing with the disasters for which our state
is famous.

U.S. should address Syria's behavior
t's not high noon for Syria just yet, but a showdown
with the United States might not be far off.
Syria has been pushing its luck for years. It's been
on the State Department's list of state sponsors of ter-
rorism since 1979.
But now Damascus has danced with the devil one
time too many. Last week, a U.N. investigation implicat-
ed Syrian intelligence officials in the car bombing mur-
der of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
Hariri wasn't perfect, but he was a popular leader.
He was an outspoken critic of Syria's 29-year-long occu-
pation of Lebanon, which ended last year thanks to in-
ternational pressure from leaders like President Bush.
Now the United States and Britain are calling for
action in the U.N. Security Council. This is so seri-
ous, even the spineless countries are getting involved
- French officials are discussing the possibility of tak-
ing punitive action against Syria.
Syria also considers anti-Israeli terrorist groups to
be political entities and rents out office space to them
in Damascus. Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and
other groups chill out there when they're not blowing
up nightclubs or firing rockets into Tel Aviv.
The United States has accused Syria of providing a
safe haven for Saddam Hussein's family and friends
and helping terrorists cross its eastern border with Iraq.
The leak of insurgents across the Syrian frontier is one
of the reasons why the border region has been a breed-
ing ground f6r chaos and violence.
The Security Council will likely have a few harsh
words with Syria in, the next couple of weeks. If the
U.N. bureaucrats are feeling particularly bold, they may
slap on a few economic sanctions.
But ultimately it will be the United States' respon-
sibility to flex some muscle and
change Syria's behavior. Regime
change in Damascus would be far
swifter and simpler than it would
be in.Iran, and the constitutional
process would be less compli-
Matt Melone cated than it is in Iraq. Unless we
Taking Up Arms elect Hillary in 2008, Syria has
letters@ailigator.org good reason to fear an American
invasion.
The United States would have
a lot to gain from seeing Syria's President Bashar al-
Assad and his regime of murderous old men bite the
dust. But the entire Middle East region would benefit
much more.
A free Syria would help stabilize emerging democra-
cies in Iraq and Lebanon. Tyrants in Saudi Arabia and
Egypt would be forced to relinquish more control. And
the Syrian people would be free of the brutal regime
that once massacred a town of between 10,000 and
30,000 people.
America will- be tempted to turn its back oni the
Middle East once a definitive troop withdrawal begins
in Iraq. But doing so will only pave the way for sneaky
dictators like al-Assad to become tomorrow's Saddam
Husseins.
If we rely solely on the international community to
get Syria in line, the United States may have to foot the
bill when diplomacy fails.
America needs to keep its eyes on Syria and start
talking tough while we still have the luxury of keeping
war off the table.

needs polls
I f you're an American citizen,
|chances are you don't approve
| Lof the job President Bush is do-
ing.
But does it matter?
According to Matt Sanchez's
column in Friday's Alligator, it
doesn't. He alleges that popularity
and random polling have no useful
role whatsoever in the American
political arena. Essentially, your
opinion doesn't count.
And that's true if you're
living in an authoritarian regime.
And while laws like the Patriot
Act might make it seem as though
America is shunning civil rights,
the United States is still a democ-
racy. In a democratic government,
Alison Nadle the opinions
of its citizens
Speaking Out should mat-
should mat-
ter. The defi-
nition of democracy stipulates that
its representatives, like President
Bush, ought to be responsive to the
changing needs and wants of the
people. Public-opinion polls are
the best way to measure this.
About 58 percent of Americans
disapprove of Bush's performance,
according to a CNN/USA Today/
Gallup poll. Sanchez attributes
this to the "simple fact that Mother
Nature has been throwing hissy fits
the past few months." But while
nature's wrath may play a small
role, it doesn't invalidate the claim
that President Bush didn't perform
well. In this instance, Americans
disapprove of the federal apathy
and the lack of preparedness. It's
not fair to completely disregard the
meaning of the polls and how citi-
zens evaluate our president.
The president is, after all, our
employee. Employees for various
businesses are evaluated all the
time. The government is a business
too; the highest office in the nation
should not be exempt from evalua-
tion for reasons like prestige.
So while Sanchez argues that
our confidence in our president's
job doesn't matter because "he's
going to do it anyway," I will point
out the very preservation of his
job relies heavily on the polls that
Sanchez's editorial so thought-
lessly dismissed.
I'm not saying the president
should base his policies solely on
opinion polls it's true that public
opinion can be unstable. However,
it should be taken into account
when policy is formed. To disre-
gard all opinion polls is to ignore a
large part of policy formation. And
to trivialize all of them as mere
popularity contests is even worse.
In order to preserve democratic
ideals, we need polling to show
the government how to alter its
policies. Otherwise, the govern-
ment becomes unresponsive and
undemocratic.

Runners throw clothes, caution to the wind in Dash
By BRETT KELMAN
Alligator Contributing Writer
A stampede of scantily clad
students scurried from campus at
midnight Saturday.
In a pair of black boxer-briefs, UF
graphic design major Beau Bergeron
sprinted the first steps of The Great
Underwear Dash II and signaled
more than 500 students to follow
from the Hub, through parts of cam-
pus, down University Avenue and
back again.
As the runners tore through'
the city bar scene, shouts echoed
among the sea of skivvies bellowing
enjoyment, embarrassment, exhaus-
tion and just how great it is to be a
Florida Gator.
"It was bigger than I ever could
have imagined," Bergeron said af-
terward.
The run, which was advertised
mostly by word of mouth,, eas-
ily reached its goal of 500 runners,
according to Bergeron. He said
Sunday that the rave reviews posted
on facebook.com left him thrilled.
"So many people had such a
great night," he said.
University Police was present at
the dash but did not interfere.
On the runners' return trip, some
on-campus traffic was blocked,
but drivers were mostly content to
honk, high-five, join in or stare. The
half-naked horde returned to the
Hub less than 15 minutes after they
had left, now sporting wider smiles
and breathing deeply.

A handful of students, who in- in their place. runners gathered outside the Reitz
Union, where they found a second
clue that pointed them to the infir-
mary. "For the hell of it!" someone in
the crowd shouted as they sprinted
a short side-trip down the lanes of
Gator Nights' blacklight bowling
arena, and then the hunt began.
Clues led the group from the
infirmary to the chemistry labs,
on a dash across the Plaza of the
Americas, to the rear of Criser Hall,
and, to a sculpture at the architecture
building, with each stop leading
them closer to their missing clothes.
Finally on the third floor of Little
Hall, almost an hour after the run,
the runners found their knickers, the
several knockers who had fiabbed
them, and a pile of candy.
"We figured that once you take
your clothes off and throw them on
the ground, all bets are off," a male
Knicker Knocker said. Runners had
mixed feelings about the heist.
The Knicker Knockers -had origi-
nally planned to videotape their
theft and the ensuing hunt for a
video-arts project, but were "freaked

dents turned out for the dash, he
said. All the Knockers ran the first
underwear dash in April.
After the success of Saturday's
run, a Great Underwear Dash III is
guaranteed, Bergeron said, adding
that he wanted to control the next
run with UPD's help and that he
wanted to hold off until late Spring.
"I want people to forget about

again," he said.
Bill Davis to run for sheriff
Report was largely positive
By JESSICA RIFFEL
Alligator Writer
jriffel@alligator.org
Bill Davis kicked off his campaign for Alachua
County Sheriff on Friday.
The announcement followed current Sheriff
Steve Oelrich's Oct. 10 statement that he would run
for the state Senate in 2006.
Davis, who lost the 2004 election for sheriff by
less than 2 percent, will spend the next year cam-
paigning for a second chance to serve as sheriff.
"I enjoyed it last time," he said. "I love talking
to people. I want to know what their problems and
concerns are."
In a speech given on the steps of the Hippodrome
Theatre in downtown Gainesville, Davis said he
wants to make his campaign about the needs of the
residents of the county.
, "We want to make Alachua County the safest
county in America to raise a family, live and retire
in peace, safety and security," Davis said to a crowd
of about 30.
He also plans to keep the campaign clean.
The issues Bill Davis plans to address:
Provide safety and welfare for all residents of
Alachua County
Implement a fiscally responsible budget-man-
agement system
Establish efficient, effective management at
the county jail to provide a safe and secure
facility
Create an atmosphere of professional co-
operation with all other law enforcement
agencies
Cooperate with municipalities to ensure realis-
tic and productive dialogue on annexation
Implement the Joint Communications Center
as was initially conceived to professionally
serve all the agencies that depend on it
"I'm looking forward to a fact-based discussion
with citizens, friends and opponents," Davis said.
Davis emphasized several platform issues,
including increased security in neighborhoods, us-
ing tax dollars more efficiently and improving the
management at the county jail.
"We have new ideas to solve old problems,"
Davis said.
He said many of his platform issues are from his
previous campaign since only one year has passed.
Davis said he is optimistic about the campaign
because he believes he can keep most of the votes
he received in the dose 2004 election and win some
of the votes that went to Oelrich.
Supporters of Davis present at his campaign
kickoff included Florida Democratic Party Chair
Karen Thurman and Alachua Countty Tax Collector
Von Fraser.
Fraser said he plans to be involved in Davis'
campaign because he wants to bring a good per-
son into office, and he admires the clean campaign
Davis ran last election.
"I look at Bill [Davis] as being someone I can re-
ally support," he said. "He's told me so many things
that resonate with me about helping the county."
Alachua resident Doris Bardon has worked on
local campaigns for the past 22 years and said she
also plans to be involved in Davis' campaign.
"He's a really good human being," she said. "He
really cares about the welfare, security and safety
of all the people in the county, and he has great
experience."
Bardon supports Davis because she believes he
will lead by example.
"He has a level of integrity that is superior to
most politicians," she said. "He will set an example.
to most law enforcement officers of how to function
humanistically and efficiently."
Fraser added, "I think he's the best thing for the
county in a long time."
Davis is the first to announce the intention to run
for sheriff. The election will be held Nov. 2,2006.
COLLEGE, from page 1
professors and ability to prepare
students for media careers.
The accreditation team, made
up of administrators from other
universities, visited the college
last week.
Team members graded the
college on nine standards: gover-
nance and administration, curricu-
lum, diversity, faculty, scholarship,
student services, facilities, service
and learning assessment. The col-
lege excelled in course offerings
and faculty.
One of the reasons Hynes said
the college fared so well in the re-
port was because faculty members
have brought real-world experi-
ence and academic knowledge
into their classrooms.
"To be part of a major research
university, you've got to have aca-
demic depth," she said.
Another strain felt by the col-
lege is on its facilities, which are
"stretched to the limit," according
to the report.
Weimer Hall received a tele-
communications wing in 1990
and now houses four newsrooms,
four radio stations, two television
stations and a library, the college's
Web site states.
More than 2,600 undergradu-
ates and 200 graduate students call
the college their home, majoring
in advertising, journalism, public
relations and telecommunications.
"The college is running out
of space," the report stated, but
added that "swelling enrollment"
in journalism colleges is a common
problem across the nation.
"We're using every bit of space
as effectively as possible," Hynes
said. "We would love to be able to
expand."
She said the next addition
would be built on top of the col-
lege's radio stations when funds
became available.
The college, initially accredited
in 1950, was last visited in 1999.
The latest standards set by the
accreditation team took a closer
look at the college's graduate
programs.
"We are ahead of the game in
terms of applying the new stan-
dards," Hynes said.
A committee will review the
team's report in March and submit
it to an accrediting council that will
make the final decision in May.
Hynes said the report high-
lighted many positive aspects of
the -college and proved her stu-
dents are learning what they need
to know.
"Our first job is to make this a
good place for students to learn,"
she said.
"Being an accredited program
in our field says we meet expecta-
tions that professionals have."

Senator addressed scholarship
MARTI N EZ, from page 1
When asked about the future
funding of Florida Bright Futures
Scholarships and other student loans,
Martinez said if there are to be cuts,
he does not believe they will impact
student loans and student participa-
tion programs.
"We need to make sure that we
continue to allow students to train
the workforce of tomorrow and that
we continue to be on the cutting
edge of technology, which requires a
well-trained education workforce,"
Martinez said.
Open mind for Miers
Despite criticism of Harriet Miers'
recent nomination .to the Supreme
Court and worry over the possible
overturning of Roe v. Wade, Martinez
said he wouldn't look at Miers as
someone leaning toward either side
in that case.
"I don't think that's how we ought
to look at judicial nominations," he
said.
In reference to what Chief Justice
John Roberts said about Miers,
Martinez said that a Supreme Court
judge should be treated "as an um-
pire at a ball game: not hitting, not
pitching, just calling balls and strikes.
That's what a judge should be and
that's what I would look for."
He added that the public should lis-
ten to her answers at the hearings next
month before criticizing Miers' ability
to fill the position.
Drilling near Florida
In regards to Gov. Jeb Bush's con-
sideration to drill about 125 miles off-
shore of Florida, Martinez said he is
personally sticking to the "traditional
position" of not drilling anywhere
near Florida.
"[Bush and I] share the same goal
to keep beaches pristine and keep
.the Gulf of Mexico clean and clear,"
Martinez said.
"I'm not ready to make a deal for
125 miles (offshore), and I want to keep
drilling off the Gulf Coast entirely."
Economic issues
Upon arrival at the College of Law,
Martinez was greeted by an audito-
rium filled with political science stu-
dents and a broken air conditioner.
He immediately removed his navy
blue jacket and spoke to. the crowd
of about 150 about issues regard-
ing Latin America and immigration.
Martinez then invited students to ask
open-ended questions.
Martinez discussed economic
problems caused by the many people
funding issues
living in the United States who send
billions of dollars in aid to their
families in Latin America, since U.S.
money is worth almost double or
triple there.
Identifying Gainesville's concerns
Following the lecture,' Martinez
attended a meet-and-greet at the law
school.
"The story of Mel Martinez is the
story of America; a young man who
came from the island of Cuba to our
shores here and made a life leading
a legacy here in Florida, from an im-
migrant young man of 15 years old
to being the state senator," Alachua
County Sheriff Steve Oelrich said as
he introduced Martinez.
"I think it's great to have a U.S.
senator here for him to hear directly
from the community what some- of
our needs and concerns are, and I
think he spoke very eloquently about
some of the challenges related to en-
ergy, transportation and affordable
housing," said Gainesville Mayor
Pegeen Hanrahan afterward.
After taking questions from in-
vited guests, Martinez said this is not
a year to look for increases in funding
student aid, but realized "education is
not an area where we can afford to do
it on the cheap."

U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez shares a laugh with students
during his brief visit to UF's law school on Friday.
Mud shipped directly from Georgia; higher gas prices make Fest more expensive
MUDFEST, from page 1
would not wash off as easily, Vitale said.
"It's much more fun to see someone covered from head to
toe in this orange disgusting mud," she said.
Vitale said she worked more than 80 hours last week to
keep the pit sanitized and safe.
On top of running the four events between the 22 floors
- ultimate frisbee, volleyball, mud tug and mud polo the
Tolbert Area Council Executive Board's 11 members were
responsible for watching and guarding the pit in all-night
shifts.
Members tracked and maintained each floor's spirit
points, which added to the overall team scores. In addition,
they maintained the pit by adding small amounts of bleach
and removing rocks for safety reasons.
"It's a lot of stress, but when people come up and they
say they are going to return to the area to live next year, that
makes it definitely worth it," Vitale said.
Stephen-James Hosin, a Weaver resident, said although
he felt weird about the mud at first, he eventually embraced
it.
"Once you get over the weird factor, it feels kind of nice,"
he said. "A lot of people say it's good for your skin. It's ex-
foliating."
Adam Defrin, a junior history major, said he thought that
even though mud looks gross, there's an upside.
"Only one word can describe mud all over hot chicks:
heaven," Defrin said.

Katrina delays bill payments
* COX IS PUSHING BACK
PAYMENT DEADLINES.
By KARI TARR
Alligator Contributing Writer
Hurricane Katrina made
Lindsey Brady's cable bill late.
Although she put her check
in the mail six days before it
was due, it was not posted until
three weeks later because it was
sent to the New Orleans office,
which is unable to receive pay-
ments.
Billing statements now
alert customers their payments
should be sent to a new process-
ing center in Louisville, Ky., but
any payments made before the
new statement are most likely
delayed.
Brady, a UF junior, is one
of more than 100,000 Cox
Communications subscribers-in
Gainesville and Ocala affected
by this change.
"We may not find out until
months from now," said Mike
. Giampietro, general manager of
Cox in Central Florida. ,
Cox has received more
phone calls than usual because
of the mix-up, Giampietro said.
"People would call three
or four times until we could
confirm their bill was posted,"
he said.
Cox is relaxing payment
deadlines and the fees typically
associated with them in the
wake of Katrina, Giampietro
said.
Around "If a cus-
1a"ImOSVIII tomer says a
bill is on the
way, we give them more time,"
he said.
Any mail now sent to New
Orleans is being rerouted by the
U.S. .Postal Service, which has
procedures for emergency situ-
ations like a hurricane.
The post office notifies large
business accounts, like Cox, and
tells them to stop sending mail
for a designated period of time
during times of disaster, said
Monica Serachi, a spokeswom-
an for the postal service.
The postal service is handling
mail sent to inaccessible areas of
New Orleans at temporary han-
dling centers the largest of
which is in Baton Rouge.
"The mail will get processed
even if the address doesn't exist
anymore," Serachi said.
Customers in affected areas
have been quick to put in a
change-of-address and keep
the post office notified as they
relocate, Serachi said.
The postal service has been
quick to relocate its own em-
ployees affected by Hurricane
Katrina. Immediately after the
storm, employees were told
they could go to the nearest post
office and resume working.
"Right off the bat, our post-
master general said, 'We will
find a job for you,"' Serachi
said.
Post offices as far away as
Michigan were able to accept
displaced employees and get
them back to work, Serachi
said.

UPD nabs 30 in sting
When it was a game
Sean "Coach" Baker anc members of Pi Lambda Phi Fraternity celebrate their 13-12 victory
over Tau Epsilon Phi during their annual Nosebowl on Sunday afternoon. This is the first time
Pi Lambda Phi has won the flag-football game since its UF chapter was reinstated in 2000.
* BUT THE DEPARTMENT'S
FIRST DUI CHECKPOINT
MADE ONLY ONE ARREST.
By BARBARA FLORES
Alligator Contributing Writer
When University Police officers
stopped SFCC student Jose Couto
at 11 p.m. Thursday, he said he had
not consumed any alcohol.
But the 10 officers at UPD's
first-ever on-campus DUI Traffic
Checkpoint tested him further and
ultimately made Couto, 27, the only
alcohol-related arrest of the night.
From 10 p.m. Thursday until 3
a.m. Friday, officers narrowed Gale
Lemerand Drive to a single lane in
either direction along the stretch
adjacent to the Commuter Lot. Lt.
Mitch Welsh said officers stopped
every fifth vehide to check driver's
licenses, proof of insurance and
registration, seat-belt violations and
visible signs of DUI. After midnight;
they stopped every third vehicle.
"This is a public-safety issue,"
Welsh said. "We are doing it to
make a contact with people and
check on them."
If drivers were found in any kind
of violation, they were told to pull
into the lot for further assessment,
he said. The operation was conduct-
ed by six UPD officers with the help
of four Gainesville Police officers.
There were a total of 30 traffic
violations: 16 drivers without proof
of insurance, three without driver's
licenses, six with no registration,
one vehicle with improperly tinted
windows, three with faulty equip-
ment and Couto's DUI, according
to reports.
UPD Chief Linda-
Public Stump said the op-
SSafet eration was the first of
about four to be con-
ducted around campus annually.
GPD Cpl. Michael West said the
operation was necessary -because
UF is a pedestrian-heavy campus.
"Students drink. They think, 'If
I drive on campus, I might escape
and avoid the police on the high-
way,'" he said. "It's important to
keep the campus safe."
Last year UPD reported a total of
222 arrests for liquor-law violations,
three of them on campus and the
rest on public property, according to
a UPD report on crime statistics.
For more information on fu-.
ture checkpoints call the UPD
office anytime at 392-1111 or visit
wwwpolice.ufl.edu.

UF FOOTBALL
Shockley might miss Cocktail Party
* MEYER IS CONSIDERING RE-
TOOLING THE OFFENSE.
By LOUIS ANASTASIS
Alligator Staff Writer.
lanastasis@alligator.org
Urban Meyer was hardly shy
on Sunday about what the Georgia
game means to the Gators.
"It's about as urgent as you get,"
Meyer said. "I think this is the big-
gest week of the year for the Florida
Gators."
And with UF's season hanging in
the balance, what better news could
Meyer receive than hearing that
Georgia quarterback D.J. Shockley
may miss the showdown?
Shockley, the Southeastern
Conference's top-rated passer head-
ing into Saturday's game against
Arkansas, fell awkwardly late in the
second quarter and never returned.
Reports suggest that Shockley,
a dynamic, speedy quarterback,
sprained his MCL and is doubtful
for Saturday's game.
Meyer, however, must prepare as
if Shockey will play in case he mi-
raculously returns.
"I think we're planning on him
going," Meyer said. "He's as fine a
quarterback as there is in the coun-
try at this point. You watch the way
he's improved throwing the ball and
then the way he can take off running.
I haven't watched film on [Texas']
Vince Young and [Missouri's] Brad
Smith, but watching [Shockley]-
he's as fine a quarterback in the
country."
Without Shockley, the entire com-
plexion of the game could change.
Backup junior Joe Tereshinski would
face a rested defense welcoming the
full return of defensive end Ray
McDonald.
In four games of action,
Tereshinski, a traditional drop-back
passer, has completed 13 of 23 passes
for 207 yards, one interception and
no touchdowns.
"He's as fine a quarterback
as there is in the country at
this point. You watch the way
he's improved throwing the
ball and then the way he can
take off running. I haven't
watched film on [Texas'].
Vince Young and [Missouri's]
Brad Smith, but watching
[Shockley]-he's as fine a
quarterback in the country."
Urban Meyer
UF football coach
"The one. thing you miss with
Shockley when he's not going is
there are the quarterback draws and
sweeps," Meyer said.
But Georgia's quarterback posi-
tion will hardly hog the spotlight
heading into the game. Questions
continue to abound about quarter-
back Chris Leak and what is being
done to jumpstart the offense.
It is becoming slowly clear that
the UF coaching staff will cater to
Leak's strengths rather than force
feed him with spread offense in-
tangibles from here on out. Meyer
suggested the Gators would imple-
ment more traditional wrinkles into
the Georgia game plan to get things
rolling.
"We've added some things and
tried to utilize our personnel bet-
ter," he said. "The good thing is that
we've reached the point where we're
getting healthy. We just have to get
the playmakers in the position to
make plays."
Meyer gave wide receiver Jemalle
Cornelius, who has been hobbled
by a left ankle sprain, a full vote
of confidence. He also suggested
that receiver Kenneth Tookes might
finally.play a significant role in the
offense.
"He's running good routes and
he will play more of a part in the of-
fense," Meyer said.
"We are evaluating how much
five-wide we're going to do. We like
to have five threats but we don't
have that right now."
One player who could alleviate
the receiver situation is tight end
Tate Casey, and it is Casey who
could epitomize the offense's chang-
es against Georgia.
Meyer plans on using more tight
end sets, both to help protect Leak
and to provide another capable re-
ceiver.
'"'That's something that I can't
give you much more on," Meyer
said. "The only thing is that we have
just one tight end at the University
of Florida and you risk something if
he comes in and gets hurt."

'Hi

Tereshinski who? Shockley injury gives Gators added hope
Gator Nation, meet your savior.
His name is Joe Tereshinski iI.
He's a 6-foot-3, 221-pound good ol'
boy from Athens, Ga.
Until now, his resume included a vital clip-
board-holding sideline gig for Georgia while
winning the revered Scott and Elizabeth
Kelly Endowed Football Scholarship.
But just as feedurbanmeyertothepirrahan
as.com was sold for a cool million bucks this
weekend, Tereshinski's unexpected ascen-
sion to No. 1 on Georgia's depth chart gives
UF even more of a realistic shot to make a big
push toward Atlanta by winning Saturday's.
Cocktail Extravaganza.

disappointing season.
Shockley's absence won't do anything to
repair. UF's reeling offense, but it will take a
load of pressure off a confused passing game
and an offensive line in disarray.
Suddenly, this is a defensive battle, a
la UF's early-season 16-7 victory against
Tennessee.
UF's defensive front may not be able to
spell Tereshinski, but it should have no prob-
lem slamming the junior quarterback to the
ground while talking trash about his mama.
In the two losses this season to Alabama
and LSU, the shell-shocked Gators were
humiliated before the halfway mark of 'the
first quarter.
That's why the key to Saturday's game

years probation. UF's scholarships were
reduced, the Gators were banned from bowl
games and they could not appear on live TV.

Gators confidence while putting fear in his
eyes. If UF's offense can establish a running
game and muster up something in the air,
a mere 14-points could be enough for the
Gators season to mean something again..
Of course, even if UF escapes Jacksonville
victorious, the Gators need faith on their
side while praying to the football gods that
Georgia trips up again.
But at least after four years of midseason
-Outback and Music City Bowls chatter, the
Gators are just one victory away from rel-
evance.
Now, if Shockley resumes clipboard duty
,and 'Shinski still leads Georgia to victory, get
the pitchforks and torches ready.

Loss of Lochte hinders Gators in Texas tournament
* FRESHMAN ALLY STEPS UP,
BUT GATORS STILL FALL.
By RACHEL ROBINS
Alligator Writer
With the Gators' star swimmer
nursing an injury in Gainesville, the
UF men's swimming team had little
luck in Texas.
The men's team (2-2, 1-0
Southeastern Conference) lost to
Texas 243-127 before falling to
California 247-123.
UF senior Ryan Lochte, an
Olympic gold-medalist, was unable
to make the trip with a shoulder
injury. This left the Gators short-
handed throughout the meet.
Freshman Bradley Ally recorded
the only individual win for the
Gators in the 400-yard individual
medley with a time of 3:54.38.
"There is a saying in swimming
that if you're happy in October,
you're not going to be very happy in
March," UF coach Gregg Troy said.
"We're not very happy right now,
but it's still early in the season."
The women's team, meanwhile,
had somewhat of a better showing
in the Lone Star State.
The Gators (3-0, 1-0 SEC) cap-
tured second place in the Dallas
Classic tournament and defeated
Southern Methodist University in a
dual meet on Thursday, 125-118.
The Gators
won the 400 med-
ley relay, the 200
individual med-
ley, and the 200
breaststroke.
However, it
was the diving
Ally team that secured
the victory for the
Gators.
"It was key for us to win the div--
ing events today," Troy said. "SMU
came out and put us in a hole early,
but the win in the one-meter came at
a crucial time to put us back in the
meet. The three-meter win was just
as important because it maintained
what little control we were able to
have toward the end."
Alicia Miller and Sarah Ellerby
finished first in the one-meter dive
and three-meter dive, respectively.
However, Vipa Bernhardt proved
to be the Most Valuable Player of the
weekend.
On Thursday, she was the only
UF swimmer to win an individual
swim competition. She won both
the 200 IM and the 200 breaststroke
against SMU and claimed first place
in the 400 IM and the 100 breast-
stroke in the Dallas Classic.
The Gators were also without
Caroline Burckle, who sat out with
an illness.
"We had some excellent swims;
Vipa Bernhardt was excellent for
us today and so was Candace
Weiman," Troy said. "Both of those
individuals swam a lot. ... and really
did a great job for us."
Next week, both the pen
and women's teams will face
Southeastern Conference-rival
Georgia on Thursday.

UF dominates LSU, Arkansas

* GATORS RECEIVE EARLY
SCARE FROM RAZORBACKS.
By BRYAN JONES
Alligator Writer
Mother Nature decided to
wait until Monday to unleash
her latest storm on Florida, so the
Gators provided some thunder
of their own this weekend at the
O'Connell Center.
The No. 4 UF volleyball
team (20-1, 10-0 Southeastern
Conference) picked up a pair of
victories this weekend, sweep-
ing Arkansas (13-8, 6-3 SEC) and
Louisiana State (16-5, 6-4 SEC).
It was. a Jekyll arid Hyde per-
formance for Arkansas Friday
night, as the Gators won 30-10 in
game one, their largest margin of
victory all season.
"Game one came awfully easy,
and as a coach you almost fear
that it was too easy," UF coach
Mary Wise said.
Game two, however, turned
out to be the closest game UF has
played this year, as the Gators
edged the Razorbacks in a 33-31
nail-biter.
"The first game, I don't think
we saw the Arkansas team that
we know, and they are definitely
better than they played that first
game," outside hitter Marcie
Hampton said. "That second game
we didn't play up to our level, and
.they played up to theirs."
The fans came alive in game
two, when the crowd of 2,522
tried to will the Gators to vic-
tory. With the Gators trailing late,
the fans responded, creating an
atmosphere that sounded more
like a UF basketball game than a
typical volleyball match.
"The first game, I don't
think we saw the Arkansas
team that we know, and
they are definitely better
than they played that first
game."
Mary Wise
UF volleyball coach
Arkansas was competitive
in game three as well, but the
Gators were able to mount a late
run to close out the match 30-23.
While Arkansas' blocking
helped keep the Gators offensive
efficiency down, middle blocker
Kari Klinkenborg gave the Gators
a strong performance, recording
8 kills on a game-high .583 hit-
ting percentage.
"What I am really pleased with
is how much better [Klinkenborg]
is being patient in terms of hit-
ting what she is given," Wise
said. "Early on, she was trying
to create kills maybe on sets that
weren't quite there. She does
have a fast arm and I think she
and Angie [McGinnis have found
their rhythm together]."
Sunday's match against LSU
was a more routine victory .for
UF, as the Gators defeated the
road-tested Tigers 30-20, 30-21,
30-20.
Due to the effects of Hurricane
Katrina, LSU did not play a
match at home until last week.
"When your football team
plays more [home] matches than
your volleyball team, you know
it's a tough year," Wise said.
While the Gators have a repu-
tation for featuring strong attack-
ers, it was their defense that was
most influential in the two week-
end victories.
Arkansas was only able to
muster a .076 hitting percentage,
while LSU needed a late push to
finish at .021.
"It all starts with serving,"
Wise said. "If the opposing team
can't get a perfect pass, that re-
ally helps our defense. So our
defensive numbers are all based
on the great serving."
Jane Collymore led the Gators
with 17 kills against LSU and 29
for the weekend, while tallying
25 digs in the two matches. Her
21 points against LSU moved her
into fifth place in UF history for
career points scored.
"[Collymore] made it difficult
on LSU both when she was in
the front row and the back row,"
Wise said. "Jane was pretty spe-
cial today."

Gators win low-scoring showdown N
* LATE-GAME GOAL BY KERNS
LIFTS UF TO VICTORY.
By SPENCER DAVIS-VANNESS
Alligator Writer
sdvanness@alligator.org
Just one week after Mississippi
broke a scoreless match against the UF
soccer team in the waning minutes to
claim victory, the Gators found them-
selves locked in another 0-0 battle at
Arkansas as the clock wound down.
But this time, freshman forward Megan
Kems turned a free kick from just out-
side the penalty box into the only goal
the Gators would need to return to
Gainesville with a win.
Sunday's match was anything but
a display of offensive power, with the
Gators and Razorbacks combining for
only 14 shots.
The Gators' 10 shots marked one of
the lowest team totals of the season.
Burleigh said she was unconcerned
with the lack of firepower, and that the
game presented the kind of defensive
challenge she expected.
"The last two times we played
[Arkansas] it's been a 2-1 type game, so
it was a close game as expected," she
said. "It was a nice job by our defense
to get the shutout."
Sunday's match may have also pre-
sented a challenging element for the
Gators that they previously had not
encountered.
With temperatures in Fayetteville
dipping almost into the 40s with con-
stantly gusting winds, UF was treated
to its first taste of fall and a definite de-
parture from the warm, balmy confines
of Gainesville.
"It was really windy and cold,"
Burleigh said. "The wind was keeping
either team from getting good posses-
sion."
On Friday, UF played in its. first
match since being virtually eliminated
from the Southeastern Conference title
race. The lowered stakes didn't seem
to affect the Gators as they defeated

Kerns gave UF.an early spark, scor-
ing on a breakaway past the Tigers'
goalkeeper and several defenders to
earn a goal.
LSU responded with a goal of its
owrt on a similar breakaway early in
the second half,; but a frustrating spell
of close calls on countless shots in the
second half for UF would truly mark
the game.
Sophomore forward KeLeigh
Hudson, who gave the Gators their
final goal in the 82nd minute, said the
team knew it was only a matter of time
before their fortunes changed.
"It felt great getting a goal after so
many chances," she said. "We knew we
could put them away and we finally
did."
In a continuing trend of injuries for
the Gators, sophomore defender Ashley
Harris was hurt during the match, but
Burleigh had few details on the extent
or seriousness of the injury.
Harris did not play on Sunday
against the Razorbacks.

Mel Martinez, R-Fla., came to Gainesville and UF on Friday, listening to the city's. concerns and lecturing to a crowd at the Levin College of Law. UF officials took Martinez on a tour of the College of Engineering's Gator-Tech Smart House, a demonstration home located within the Oak Hammock Continuous Care Retirement Community that features stateof-the-art appliances and design. Martinez said he enjoyed his visit to the Smart House, adding that he "would love to move into one of these houses one day, as long as it had ESPN." The FSU alumnus said he hopes the Gators will defeat Georgia on Saturday in Jacksonville. "I was here cheering my heart out for the Gators in the Tennessee game," said Martinez in an interview on the way to his Levin appointment, "which is something I don't normally do because I think everyone should be partisan to their alma mater. But anytime Florida State and Florida aren't playing each other, I'm always looking forward to a Gator victory." SEE MARTINEZ, PAGE 9 ON CAMPUS By MARIA LAVERGHETTA Alligator Contributing Writer It gets everywhere: in your eyes, in your ears, on your clothes. "You know what the worst thing is?" asked Regina Baptiste, Tolbert Area Council treasurer. "When it goes through your toes." Playing in the mud may be messy and gross, but for many at Mudfest, it also was a lot of fun. "The key here is to take perfectly normal games and add mud," said James Paine, one of the event's participants. Once a year, the Tolbert Area lawn becomes Mudfest, a 60-by-30-foot mud pit created strictly for dorm residents to get completely covered in mud and play games such as mud polo and mud tug. The finals, which took place Sunday, saw students in attendance cheering on their respective floors. East Hall came away the event's big victor, taking home first place plaques in all four boy-and-girl events. They also won universally in mud polo and ultimate frisbee. Tolbert Hall won for boys volleyball and Riker Hall girls won for mud tug. As part of a tradition since 1969, the mud used in the event is imported from Georgia in a huge dump truck. But with higher gas prices this year, the cost of Mudfest's mud pit was $4,800, up $300 from last year. "The key here is to take perfectly normal games and add mud." James Paine event participant "Three-hundred dollars doesn't sound like much, but that's 30 activity cards we have to sell," said Danielle Vitale, president of Tolbert Area Council. Tolbert participant Meghan Trivunovich said she loved playing in the pit but hated getting out of the mud. "It's fun when you're in there, but when you're out you're like 'OK, I want this off me,"' Trivunovich said. Less water was deliberately used to create a sticker mud paste and that SEE MUDFEST, PAGE 9 Haley Collins (left) and Amanda LeBlanc rinse off after playing a round of mud volleyball during the Tolbert Area Council Mudfest 2005.

The report called UF the climate between Administration Hynes and faculty "desperate," citing a fundamental lack of trust for the dean among reasons for the conflict. About 20 faculty members told the team they "had experienced retribution from the dean or feared it if they displeased her," the report stated. "While this noncompliance seems negative, it alerts us to a situation that could be problematic if not addressed," Hynes said in response. Hynes said she would take the information presented and use it to improve communication between herself and faculty members. "I want to be spending more time listening to faculty," she said,. adding she wanted to take the next year or two to fully understand their needs.

Electrical and Computer Engineering Program Assistant Laurie Edvardsson opened a package containing an engineering publication the department routinely receives in the mailroom of Larsen Hall. She found a thick line of white powder down the center of the magazine and more of the powder dusted throughout the box. She said she wasn't worried, but "irritated that there was this stuff all over the box." r' Edvardsson called the publishing company, which told her the unidentified powder didn't belong. Her supervisor Keith Rambo, department director of finance and administration, contacted the UF Office of Environmental Health &t Safety, which called in the Gainesville Fire Department's Hazardous Materials Unit. "It's the first time I've ever seen Hazmat in action up close and personal. I mean, I've seen it on TV," Edvardsson said. "It was really kind of interesting." The unit arrived wearing gas masks and white suits made of Tyvek, or plasticized paper.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 3 STUDENT GOVERNMENT Mew rune wavelnosgrupsm angry By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer dcohen@alligator.org A new wrinkle in how Student Government-funded organizations spend their money steamed some students Sunday night. Set by the SG Budget and Appropriations Committee and announced last week, the new rule does not allow organizations funded with student money to spend more than half of their event budgets on a speaker. At least two of the eight groups hoping to receive money expressed dissatisfaction with the limitation at the second budget hearings for special events Sunday night.

4, ALLIGATOR E MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2005 Hare Krishna wedding ceremony attracts hundreds M WEDDING FEAST WELCOMED ALL TO WATCH AND PARTICIPATE IN KRISHNA TRADITION. By TIM HUSSIN Alligator Contributing Writer Dousing the fire with purified butter, a priest chanted in Sanskrit as the oils fueled the celestial flame. The fluid motion of the priest's arms implored the lord to watch over this most popular ceremony of the Hare Krishna religion -a wedding. Friends and family, as well as devoted Krishna lunch patrons and two religion classes, helped celebrate the wedding of Andy Hunter and Meryl Strauss on Friday on the Plaza of the Americas. A special feast in the wedding party's honor, including fried vegetables, cheesecake and a variety of other dishes, attracted 634 people to the cultural event. After being legally married, Hunter, 24, a Hare Krishna follower, and Strauss, 20, president of Bhakti Yoga Club and UF student, participated in the ancient ceremony for the annual festival put on by the Hare Krishnas. Veda Sara (left), the priest of the wedding, chants in Sanskrit as the celestial fire flares. During the ceremony, the bride and groom sat behind the fire, which represents the presence of God. STUDENT HEALTH Flu smaptcine ava" ab edy By RACHEL LEWINTER Alligator Contributing Writer Getting stung is better than catching the bug. That's what UF Student Health Care Center staff are telling students as flu vaccinations become available campus-wide today. High-risk individuals were offered the vaccine a week earlier. On the first day, 58 people came to be vaccinated, said Jane Cullen, associate director for nursing at the center. "We certainly hope the word gets out to high-risk individuals," Cullen said. The vaccine is offered in two forms to all students, faculty and staff at the Infirmary, all satellite clinics, the Reitz Union and the Health Science Center. The center ordered 5,000 injections and 100 doses of FluMist and is on a waiting list to receive more, Cullen said. The fee begins at $5 for students and $20 for faculty and staff. People may opt to receive the FluMist, which is a live virus administered through a nasal-spray that costs $30 for students and $40 for faculty and staff. "The FluMist is very safe and very effective," she said. "You just need to meet the specific criteria to receive it." "Once the vaccines are gone, they're gone." Jane Cullen associate director for nursing, UF Student Health Care Center According to the center's Web site, those having allergies to eggs, chronic illnesses, HIV, AIDS or cancer should not opt for FluMist. The shot and FluMist are equally effective, Cullen said. It takes two weeks to build up immunity once a person receives the vaccine, so students should not put off getting one. "Once the vaccines are gone, they're gone," Cullen said. Ideally, students to get vaccinated before Thanksgiving. "You can go to class with a cold," she said, "but most people can't go to class with the flu." Students have a big misconception that the two are the same thing, she said. True influenza comes on quickly, with a high fever, aches and pains and a severe chest cough, Cullen said. The common cold comes on gradually, and although a person might experience congestion, symptoms typically don't include high fever. It is important for college students to get vaccinated because some have poor health habits that weaken their immune systems, including not getting adequate sleep, poor eating habits and partying too much, Cullen said. Students are typically in crowded conditions, whether it's small dorm rooms, bathrooms shared with 30 others or packed classrooms. "Someone coughs and sputters, and it fills up the classroom," Cullen said. Last year, the flu left UF senior Alicia Karlin in bed for two weeks, causing her to fall behind in her classes. "It felt like the flu took over my entire body," she said, "from the pounding of my head down to the aching of my toes." Karlin said she will be first in line to get a flu shot. For more information on influenza and where to obtain a flu vaccine, visit http://shcc.ufl.edu/ medical/flu.htm. The bride and groom were showered with flower petals as they ascended steps leading to a stage covered with hanging garlands and white cloth. They took a seat behind an arrangement of bricks surrounded with fruit and incense -where the fire would be lit -to begin the ceremony. "This ancient ceremony being performed here is a sacred act that is available for human beings," said Rtadhvaja Swami, director of the Hare Krishna Student Center. The ceremony, based on 5,000 years of tradition, began with welcoming the Lord into brass pots and lighting the fire, inviting the presence of God to witness the rest of the wedding and ensure a long married life for the couple. Vedasara Das, director of the Krishna lunch program at Georgia Tech and the priest who performed the wedding, spent 20 years of his youth at a school in western India to learn the philosophy and procedure of ceremonies in the Hare Krishna tradition. Throughout the wedding, he sprinkled grains, black and white sesame seeds, barley and purified butter onto the fire. "They signify auspicious grains that are accepted by the gods," Vedasara said. Savyasaci Das, director of UF's Krishna lunch program, said the university was very cooperative during the five weeks it took to get the fire and festival approved by officials. "It's not a barbecue or a bonfire," Savyasaci said. "It's a ceremonial fire in a contained area." Savyasaci said the ceremony typically lasts for three days in India, but for timing purposes, they shortened it to lunchtime so it would be open to the university. Chris Kovachev, ajunior English major who attends Krishna lunch five days a week, said Hunter and Strauss' wedding in the plaza was a fitting way to celebrate their marriage. "They spend so much time at the university that it's only fitting that they crown their relationship here," he said. The Bhakti Yoga Club and the families of the bride and groom funded the wedding. "That's what student clubs are for -to provide venues for students to have different cultural and ethnic experiences," Swami said. "Most of these students have never seen an ancient ceremony like this." Mirna Amaya, a senior pre-med student, said the wedding was beautiful. "For those of us that don't know much about the religion, I think it was a very nice cultural experience," she said. UF therapy exported By GABRIELLA A. VIGIER Alligator Contributing Writer Doctors and patients in Managua, Nicaragua, know why it's great to be a Florida Gator. Every year for the past three years, UF's Department of Physical Therapy has sent a team of graduate students and faculty to the University of Nicaragua-Managua to teach new physical therapy techniques to local doctors. Teachings range from Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) techniques a type of flexibility exercise -to treating shoulder impingement, the cause of shoulder pain. The trip is approximately one week long. "Each year we add different points to it," said Jennifer Stevens, a postdoctorate student in UF's Department of Physical Therapy. She added that the experience is a diversifying one. "The students learn to appreciate what they have in the U.S.," she said. "I think it benefits both Nicaragua and students." Monica Ready, a UF alumna, said she had a remarkable experience on her trip in March 2005 because she was able to teach physical therapy while still being a student. "Defrilely being able to help professors teach physical therapy in class Student was a great experiUf ence," she said. "We weren't yet physical therapists, yet there we are teaching a class." Funding for the project primarily comes from fundraising efforts made by the Student Physical Therapy Association at UP. On Saturday, the students participated in an on-campus 5K run that raised more than $15,000 from local contributors and medical sponsors, saidIvo Solis, president of the association. The next trip will be at the end of February 2006.

6, ALLIGATOR M MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2005 Editorial Fuzzy approach UF needs plan for hurricane season T he unpredictable beast of Hurricane Wilma is bearing down on Florida. Although it's supposed to hit South Florida today, Gainesville won't be exempt from tropical storm-force winds. Officials announced late Sunday afternoon on the UF Web site that classes will be held as normal today. We think it's too little, too late. Students didn't know if and when administrators would announce whether UF was closed. We were forced to make personal decisions without knowing anything about our university's position. UF should have a cohesive plan in place for such situations. This is a Florida university made up primarily of instate students. With their families in the path of hurricanes, students need to know the status of their classes as soon as possible. We understand that hurricanes, especially ones like Wilma, are unpredictable and that officials can't make a decision far in advance. But there should be a contingency plan of some sort. Students need to know where and when to look for information. They need to know whether their absences are excused if they're stuck in their hometowns. They need to know what plans of action the university is considering. To make everything run more smoothly, officials could create a plan with the help of student representatives, who know what inconveniences a hurricane can bring. But it appears the decision of whether to close the university is a tad off the cuff. Last year, UF President Bernie Machen canceled classes when even a hint of rain blew our way. He had never experienced hurricane season and wasn't about to take any chances. We applaud his cautious attitude. However, students were still in the dark about class cancellation until the last minute. A time should be set in stone for announcing whether the university will be closed. If, by that allotted time, officials are still unsure whether a hurricane will hit, they should play it safe and cancel classes. And they must keep in mind that when a hurricane makes landfall in Florida, it doesn't just affect the area it hits. Most students aren't residents of Gainesville; they're residents of Miami, St. Petersburg, Tampa and other Florida cities. When the university doesn't have a policy on absences during hurricanes, students can't make educated decisions about staying with their families. It doesn't make sense that instructors have the power to penalize students absent on a day when their families and homes are facing 100-mph winds. Is it fair to tell students who were helping their families that they can't make up tests or homework? Or that because they took the safe route during an act of God, they've missed more classes than allowed so "that's their drop?" Over the weekend, some returned to their homes all over the state. If the university had a standardized plan, those students would have been able to take it into consideration when deciding whether to ride out the hurricane at home. Although under our proposed rules UF officials would have been unsure enough of Wilma's impact to cancel classes today, we respect their decision to keep the university open. What we can't understand is why a Florida school is so unorganized in dealing with the disasters for which our state is famous. the independent florida alligator Mike Gimignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR Emily Yehle OPINIONS EDITOR Torn Durrenterger, Scott Gilton, Andrew Meyer EDITORIAL BOARD The Alligator encourages comments from readers.

U OS ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/opinions Column U.S. should address Syria's behavior t's not high noon for Syria just yet, but a showdown with the United States might not be far off. Syria has been pushing its luck for years. It's been on the State Department's list of state sponsors of terrorism since 1979. But now Damascus has danced with the devil one time too many. Last week, a U.N. investigation implicated Syrian intelligence officials in the car bombing murder of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Hariri wasn't perfect, but he was a popular leader. He was an outspoken critic of Syria's 29-year-long occupation of Lebanon, which ended last year thanks to international pressure from leaders like President Bush. Now the United States and Britain are calling for action in the U.N. Security Council. This is so serious, even the spineless countries are getting involved -French officials are discussing the possibility of taking punitive action against Syria. Syria also considers anti-Israeli terrorist groups to be political entities and rents out office space to them in Damascus. Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other groups chill out there when they're not blowing up nightclubs or firing rockets into Tel Aviv. The United States has accused Syria of providing a safe haven for Saddam Hussein's family and friends and helping terrorists cross its eastern border with Iraq. The leak of insurgents across the Syrian frontier is one of the reasons why the border region has been a breeding ground for chaos and violence. The Security Council will likely have a few harsh words with Syria in the next couple of weeks. If the U.N. bureaucrats are feeling particularly bold, they may slap on a few economic sanctions. But ultimately it will be the United States' respon-sibility to flex some muscle and change Syria's behavior. Regime change in Damascus would be far swifter and simpler than it would -be in Iran, and the constitutional process would be less compliMatt Melone cated than it is in Iraq. Unless we Taking Up Arms elect Hillary in 2008, Syria has letters@aligator.org good reason to fear an American invasion. The United States would have a lot to gain from seeing Syria's President Bashar alAssad and his regime of murderous old men bite the dust. But the entire Middle East region would benefit much more. A free Syria would help stabilize emerging democracies in Iraq and Lebanon. Tyrants in Saudi Arabia and Egypt would be forced to relinquish more control. And the Syrian people would be free of the brutal regime that once massacred a town of between 10,000 and 30,000 people. America will be tempted to turn its back on the Middle East once a definitive troop withdrawal begins in Iraq. But doing so will only pave the way for sneaky dictators like al-Assad to become tomorrow's Saddam Husseins. If we rely solely on the international community to get Syria in line, the United States may have to foot the bill when diplomacy fails. America needs to keep its eyes on Syria and start talking tough while we still have the luxury of keeping war off the table. Matthew Melone is a journalism and political science junior.

FORTUNE' 00 BEST TO WORK FORF Quality In Everything We Do @2005 ERNST & YOUNG LLP Guest column Democracy needs polls f you're an American citizen, chances are you don't approve of the job President Bush is doing. But does it matter? According to Matt Sanchez's column in Friday's Alligator, it doesn't. He alleges that popularity and random polling have no useful role whatsoever in the American political arena. Essentially, your opinion doesn't count. And that's true -if you're living in an authoritarian regime. And while laws like the Patriot Act might make it seem as though America is shunning civil rights, the United States is still a democracy. In a democratic government, Alison Nadle the opinions Speaking Out of its citizens should matter. The definition of democracy stipulates that its representatives, like President Bush, ought to be responsive to the changing needs and wants of the people. Public-opinion polls are the best way to measure this. About 58 percent of Americans disapprove of Bush's performance, according to a CNN/USA Today/ Gallup poll. Sanchez attributes this to the "simple fact that Mother Nature has been throwing hissy fits the past few months." But while nature's wrath may play a small role, it doesn't invalidate the claim that President Bush didn't perform well. In this instance, Americans disapprove of the federal apathy and the lack of preparedness. It's not fair to completely disregard the meaning of the polls and how citizens evaluate our president. The president is, after all, our employee. Employees for various businesses are evaluated all the time. The government is a business too; the highest office in the nation should not be exempt from evaluation for reasons like prestige. So while Sanchez argues that our confidence in our president's job doesn't matter because "he's going to do it anyway," I wlll point out the very preservation of his job relies heavily on the polls that Sanchez's editorial so thoughtlessly dismissed. I'm not saying the president should base his policies solely on opinion polls -it's true that public opinion can be unstable. However, it should be taken into account when policy is formed. To disregard all opinion polls is to ignore a large part of policy formation. And to trivialize all of them as mere popularity contests is even worse. In order to preserve democratic ideals, we need polling to show the government how to alter its policies. Otherwise, the government becomes unresponsive and undemocratic.

8, ALLIGATOR N MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2005 Runners throw clothes, caution to the wind in Dash By BRETT KELMAN Alligator Contributing Writer A stampede of scantily clad students scurried from campus at midnight Saturday. In a pair of black boxer-briefs, UF graphic design major Beau Bergeron sprinted the first steps of The Great Underwear Dash II and signaled more than 500 students to follow from the Hub, through parts of campus, down University Avenue and' back again. As the runners tore through the city bar scene, shouts echoed among the sea of skivvies bellowing enjoyment, embarrassment, exhaustion and just how great it is to be a Florida Gator. "It was bigger than I ever could have imagined," Bergeron said afterward. The run, which was advertised mostly by word of mouth, .easily reached its goal of 500 runners, according to Bergeron. He said Sunday that the rave reviews posted on facebook.com left him tried. "So many people had such a great night," he said. University Police was present at the dash but did not interfere. On the runners' return trip, some on-campus traffic was blocked, but drivers were mostly content to honk, high-five, join in or stare. The half-naked horde returned to the Hub less than 15 minutes after they had left, now sporting wider smiles and breathing deeply. Unny ugu / -%, Hundreds of UF students ran in their underwear down a busy University Avenue on Friday night during the second annual Undie 500.

"For the hell of it!" someone in the crowd shouted as they sprinted a short side-trip down the lanes of Gator Nights' blacklight bowling arena, and then the hunt began. Clues led the group from the infirmary to the chemistry labs, on a dash across the Plaza of the Americas, to the rear of Criser Hall, and to a sculpture at the architecture building, with each stop leading them closer to their missing clothes. Finally on the third floor of Little Hall, almost an hour after the run, the runners found their knickers, the several knockers who had dabbed them, and a pile of candy. "We figured that once you take your clothes off and throw them on the ground, all bets are off,"' a male Knicker Knocker said. Runners had mixed feelings about the heist. The Knicker Knockers had originally planned to videotape their theft and the ensuing hunt for a video-arts project, but were "freaked out" when they saw how many students turned out for the dash, he said. All the Knockers ran the first underwear dash in April. After the success of Saturday's run, a Great Underwear Dash Ill is guaranteed, Bergeron said, adding that he wanted to control the next run with UPD's help and that he wanted to hold off until late Spring. "I want people to forget about it, and then I want it to come back again," he said. BOll G to oESrhLE B'il Davis to run for sher if f By JESSICA RIFFEL Alligator Writer iriffel@alligator.org Bill Davis kicked off his campaign for Alachua County Sheriff on Friday. The announcement followed current Sheriff Steve Oehrich's Oct. 10 statement that he would run for the state Senate in 2006. Davis, who lost the 2004 election for sheriff by less than 2 percent, wil spend the next year campaigning for a second chance to serve as sheriff. "I enjoyed it last time," he said. "I love talking to people. I want to know what their problems and concerns are." In a speech given on the steps of the Hippodrome Theatre in downtown Gainesville, Davis said he wants to make his campaign about the needs of the residents of the county. "We want to make Alachua County the safest county in America to raise a family, live and retire in peace, safety and security," Davis said to a crowd of about 30. He also plans to keep the campaign clean. The issues Bill Davis plans to address: -Provide safety and welfare for all residents of Alachua County -Implement a fiscally responsible budget-management system -Establish efficient, effective management at" the county jail to provide a safe and secure, facility -Create an atmosphere of professional coperation with all other law enforcement, agencies -Cooperate with municipalities to ensure realistic and productive dialogue on annexation -Implement the Joint Communications Center, as was initially conceived to -professionally serve all the agencies that depend on it "I'm looking forward to a fact-based discussion with citizens, friends and opponents," Davis said. Davis emphasized several platform issues, including increased security in neighborhoods, using tax dollars more efficiently and improving the management at the county jail. "We have new ideas to solve old problems," Davis said. He said many of his platform issues are from his previous campaign since only one year has passed. Davis said he is optimistic about the campaign because he believes he can keep most of the votes he received in the close 2004 election and win some of the votes that went to Oelrich. Supporters of Davis present at his campaign kickoff included Florida Democratic Party Chair Karen Thurman and Alachua County Tax Collector Von Fraser. Fraser said he plans to be involved in Davis' campaign because he wants to bring a good person into office, and he admires the clean campaign Davis ran last election. "I look at Bill [Davis] as being someone I can really support," he said. "He's told me so many things that resonate with me about helping the county." Alachua resident Doris Bardon has worked on local campaigns for the past 22 years and said she also plans to be involved in Davis' campaign. "He's a really good human being," she said. "He really cares about the welfare, security and safety of all the people in the county, and he has great experience. Bardon supports Davis because she believes he will lead by example. "He has a level of integrity that is superior to most politicians," she said. "He will set an example to most law enforcement officers of how to function humanistically and efficiently." Fraser added, "I think he's the best thing for the county in a long time." Davis is the first to announce the intention to run for sheriff. The election will be held Nov. 2,2006. Report was largely positive COLLEGE, from page 1 professors and ability to prepare students for media careers. The accreditation team, made up of administrators from other universities, visited the college last week. Team members graded the college on nine standards: governance and administration, curriculum, diversity, faculty, scholarship, student services, facilities, service and learning assessment. The college excelled in course offerings and faculty. One of the reasons Hynes said the college fared so well in the report was because faculty members have brought real-world experience and academic knowledge into their classrooms. "To be part of a major research university, you've got to have academic depth," she said. Another strain felt by the college is on its facilities, which are "stretched to the limit," according to the report. Weimer Hall received a telecommunications wing in 1990 and now houses four newsrooms, four radio stations, two television stations and a library, the college's Web site states. More than 2,600 undergraduates and 200 graduate students call the college their home, majoring in advertising, journalism, public relations and telecommunications. "The college is running out of space," the report stated, but added that "swelling enrollment" in journalism colleges is a common problem across the nation. "We're using every bit of space as effectively as possible," Hynes said. "We would love to be able to expand." She said the next addition would be built on top of the college's radio stations when funds became available. The college, initially accredited in 1950, was last visited in 1999. The latest standards set by the accreditation team took a closer look at the college's graduate programs. "We are ahead of the game in terms of applying the new standards," Hynes said. A committee will review the team's report in March and submit it to an accrediting council that will make the final decision in May. Hynes said the report highlighted many positive aspects of the college and proved her students are learning what they need to know. "Our first job is to make this a good place for students to learn," she said. "Being an accredited program in our field says we meet expectations that professionals have."

MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 9 Senator addressed scholarship funding issues MARTINEZ, from page 1 When asked about the future funding of Florida Bright Futures Scholarships and other student loans, Martinez said if there are to be cuts, he does not believe they will impact student loans and student participation programs. "We need to make sure that we continue to allow students to train the workforce of tomorrow and that we continue to be on the cutting edge of technology, which requires a well-trained education workforce," Martinez said. Open mind for lifers Despite criticism of Harriet Miers' recent nomination to the Supreme Court and worry over the possible overturning of Roe v. Wade, Martinez said he wouldn't look at Miers as someone leaning toward either side in that case. "I don't think that's how we ought to look at judicial nominations," he said. In reference to what Chief Justice John Roberts said about Miers, Martinez said that a Supreme Court judge should be treated "as an umpire at a ball game: not hitting, not pitching, just calling balls and strikes. That's what a judge should be and that's what I would look for." He added that the public should listen to her answers at the hearings next month before criticizing Miers' ability to fill the position. Drilling near Florida In regards to Gov. Jeb Bush's consideration to drill about 125 miles offshore of Florida, Martinez said he is personally sticking to the -"traditional position" of not drilling anywhere near Florida. "[Bush and I] share the same goal to keep beaches pristine and keep the Gulf of Mexico clean and clear," Martinez said. "I'm not ready to make a deal for 125 miles (offshore), and I want to keep drilling off the Gulf Coast entirely." Economic issues Upon arrival at the College of Law, Martinez was greeted by an auditorium filled with political science students and a broken air conditioner. He immediately removed his navy blue jacket and spoke to the crowd of about 150 about issues regarding Latin America and immigration. Martinez then invited students to ask open-ended questions. Martinez discussed economic problems caused by the many people living in the United States who send billions of dollars in aid to their families in Latin America, since U.S. money is worth almost double or triple there. Identifying Gainesville's concerns Following the lecture, 'Martinez attended a meet-and-greet at the law school. "The story of Mel Martinez is the story of America; a young man who came from the island of Cuba to our shores here and made a life leading a legacy here in Florida, from an immigrant young man of 15 years old to being the state senator," Alachua County Sheriff Steve Oelrich said as he introduced Martinez. "I think it's great to have a U.S. senator here for him to hear directly from the community what some of our needs and concerns are, and I think he spoke very eloquently about some of the challenges related to energy, transportation and affordable housing," said Gainesville Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan afterward. After taking questions from invited guests, Martinez said this is not a year to look for increases in funding student aid, but realized "education is not an area where we can afford to do it on the cheap." Tricla Coyne/ Alligator staff U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez shares a laugh with students during his brief visit to UF's law school on Friday. Mud shipped directly from Georgia; higher gas prices make Fest more expensive M UFEST, from page 1 would not wash off as easily, Vitale said. "It's much more fun to see someone covered from head to toe in this orange disgusting mud," she said. Vitale said she worked more than 80 hours last week to keep the pit sanitized and safe. On top of running the four events between the 22 floors -ultimate frisbee, volleyball, mud tug and mud polo -the Tolbert Area Council Executive Board's 11 members were Stephen-James Hosin, a Weaver resident, said although responsible for watching and guarding the pit in all-night he felt weird about the mud at first, he eventually embraced shifts. it. Members tracked and maintained each floor's spirit points, which added to the overall team scores. In addition, they maintained the pit by adding small amounts of bleach and removing rocks for safety reasons. "It's a lot of streas, but when people come up and they say they are going to return to the area to live next year, that makes it definitely worth it," Vitale said. "Once you get over the weird factor, it feels kind of nice," he said. "A lot of people say it's good for your skin. It's exfoliating." Adam Defrin, a junior history major, said he thought that even though mud looks gross, there's an upside. "Only one word can describe mud all over hot chicks: heaven," Defrin said.

10, ALLIGATOR E MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2005 a 9 "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" COX IS PUSHING BACK PAYMENT DEADLINES. By KARI TARR Alligator Contributing Writer Hurricane Katrina made Lindsey Brady's cable bill late. Although she put her check in the mail six days before it was due, it was not posted until three weeks later because it was sent to the New Orleans office, which is unable to receive payments. Billing statements now alert customers their payments should be sent to a new processing center in Louisville, Ky., but any payments made before the new statement are most likely delayed. Brady, a UF junior, is one of more than 100,000 Cox Communications subscribersin Gainesville and Ocala affected by this change. "We may not find out until months from now," said Mike Giampietro, general manager of Cox in Central Florida. Cox has received more phone calls than usual because of the mIx-up, Giampietro said. "People would call three or four times until we could confirm their bill was posted," he said. Cox is relaxing payment deadlines and the fees typically associated with them in the wake of Katrina, Giampietro said. Around "if a cusGainesvIlle tomer says a bill is on the way, we give them more time," he said. Any mail now sent to New Orleans is being rerouted by the U.S. Postal Service, which has procedures for emergency situations like a hurricane. The post office notifies large business accounts, like Cox, and tells them to stop sending mail for a designated period of time during times of disaster, said Monica Serachi, a spokeswoman for the postal service. The postal service is handling mail sent to inaccessible areas of New Orleans at temporary handling centers -the largest of which is in Baton Rouge. "The mail will get processed even if the address doesn't exist anymore," Serachi said. Customers in affected areas have been quick to put in a change-of-address and keep the post office notified as they relocate, Serachi said. The postal service has been quick to relocate its own employees affected by Hurricane Katrina. Immediately after the storm, employees were told they could go to the nearest post office and resume working. "Right off the bat, our postmaster general said, 'We will find a job for you,"' Serachi said. Post offices as far away as Michigan were able to accept displaced employees and get them back to work, Serachi said. -Sibs of Whey.$29.00 Free Workout with this ad!

MONDAY,'OCTOBER 24, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 11 I Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" UPD nabs 30 in sting E BUT THE DEPARTMENT'S FIRST DUI CHECKPOINT MADE ONLY ONE ARREST. By BARBARA FLORES Alligator Contributing Writer When University Police officers stopped SFCC student Jose Couto at 11 p.m. Thursday, he said-he had not consumed any alcohol. But the 10 officers at UPD's first-ever on-campus DUI Traffic Checkpoint tested him further and ultimately made Couto, 27, the only alcohol-related arrest of the night. From 10 p.m. Thursday until 3 a.m. Friday, officers narrowed Gale Lemerand Drive to a single lane in either direction along the stretch adjacent to the Commuter Lot. Lt. Mitch Welsh said officers stopped every fifth-vehicle to check driver's licenses, proof of insurance and registration, seat-belt violations and visible signs of DUI. After midnight, they stopped every third vehicle. "This is a public-safety issue," Welsh said. "We are doing it to make a contact with people and check on them." If drivers were found in any kind of violation, they were told to pull into the lot for further assessment, he said. The operation was conducted by six UPD officers with the help of four Gainesville Police officers. There were a total of 30 traffic violations: 16 drivers without proof of insurance, three without driver's licenses, six with no registration, one vehicle with improperly tinted windows, three with faulty equipment and Couto's DUI, according to reports. UPD Chief Linda Public Stump said the opS eration was the first of about four to be conducted around campus annually. GPD Cpl. Michael West said the operation was necessary -because UF is a pedestrian-heavy campus. "Students drink. They think, 'If I drive on campus, I might escape and avoid the police on the highway,' he said. "It's important to keep the campus safe." Last year UPD reported a total of 222 arrests for liquor-law violations, three of them on campus and the rest on public property, according to a UPD report on crime statistics. For more information on future checkpoints call the UPD office anytime at 392-1111 or visit www police.ufl.edu.

Sports ALLIGATOR MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2005 www.alligatorSports.org Shockley might miss Cocktai Party I MEYER IS CONSIDERING RETOOLING THE OFFENSE. By LOUIS ANASTASIS Alligator Staff Writer lanastasis@alligator.org Urban Meyer was hardly shy on Sunday about what the Georgia game means to the Gators. "It's about as urgent as you get," Meyer said. "I think this is the biggest week of the year for the Florida Gators." And with UF's season hanging in the balance, what better news could Meyer receive than hearing that Georgia quarterback D.J. Shockley may miss the showdown? Shockley, the Southeastern Conference's top-rated passer heading into Saturday's game against Arkansas, fell awkwardly late in the second quarter and never returned. Reports suggest that Shockley, a dynamic, speedy quarterback, sprained his MCL and is doubtful for Saturday's game. Meyer, however, must prepare as if Shockey will play in case he miraculously returns. "I think we're planning on him going," Meyer said. "He's as fine a quarterback as there is in the country at this point. You watch the way he's improved throwing the ball and then the way he can take off running. I haven't watched film on [Texas'] Vince Young and [Missouri's] Brad Smith, but watching [Shockley]he's as fine a quarterback in the -country." Without Shockley, the entire complexion of the game could change. Backup junior Joe Tereshinski would face a rested defense welcoming the full return of defensive end Ray McDonald. In four games of action, Tereshinski, a traditional drop-back passer, has completed 13 of 23 passes for 207 yards, one interception and no touchdowns."He's as fine a quarterback as there is in the country at this point. You watch the way he's improved throwing the ball and then the way he can take off running. I haven't watched film on [Texas'] Vince Young and [Missouri's] Brad Smith, but watching [Shockley]-he's as fine a quarterback in the country." Urban Meyer UF football coach "The one thing you miss with Shockley when he's not going is there are the quarterback draws and sweeps," Meyer said. But Georgia's quarterback position will hardly hog the spotlight heading into the game. Questions continue to abound about quarterback Chris Leak and what is being done to jumpstart the offense. It is becoming slowly clear that the UF coaching staff will cater to Leak's strengths rather than force feed him with spread offense intangibles from here on out. Meyer suggested the Gators would implement more traditional wrinkles into the Georgia game plan to get things rolling. "We've added some things and tried to utilize our personnel better," he said. "The good thing is that we've reached the point where we're getting healthy. We just have to get the playmakers in the position to make plays." Meyer gave wide receiver Jemalle Cornelius, who has been hobbled by a left ankle sprain, a full vote of confidence. He also suggested that receiver Kenneth Tookes might finallyplay a significant role in the offense. "He's running good routes and he will play more of a part in the offense," Meyer said. "We are evaluating how much five-wide we're going to do. We like to have five threats but we don't have that right now." One player who could alleviate the receiver situation is tight end Tate Casey, and it is Casey who could epitomize the offense's changes against Georgia. Meyer plans on using more tight end sets, both to help protect Leak and to provide another capable receiver. "That's^ something that I can't give you much more on," Meyer said. "The only thing is that we have just one tight end at the University of Florida and you risk something if he comes in and gets hurt." I V U e> L., 0 O)~E U E 0 ..-M "L ""n I Tereshinski who ? Sh ckley injury gives Gators added hope ator Nation, meet your savior. His name is Joe Tereshinski III. He's a 6-foot-3, 221-pound good ol' boy from Athens, Ga. Untilnow, his resume included a vital clipboard-holding sideline gig for Georgia while winning the revered Scott and Elizabeth Kelly Endowed Football Scholarship. But just as feedurbanmeyertothepirrahan as.com was sold for a cool million bucks this weekend, Tereshinski's unexpected ascension to No. 1 on Georgia's depth chart gives UF even more of a realistic shot to make a big push toward Atlanta by winning Saturday's Cocktail Extravaganza. Yes, I'm the same guy who two weeks ago said the Gators had absolutely no shot Andrew Abramson Drew's Control aabramson@allgator.org at earning a trip to the SEC championship game if they couldn't defeat LSU. But who can predict injuries, and who knew Georgia's backup quarterback was a guy named Tereshinski? With Georgia's D.J. Shockley likely out this weekend, and the unheralded 'Shinski taking the reins for Mark Richt, a game that seemed like a sure Bulldogs win just weeks ago suddenlylooks like the perfect opportunity for Meyer, Chris Leak and the rest of the Gators to redeem a disappointing season. Shockley's absence won't do anything to repairUF's reeling offense, but it will take a load of pressure off a confused passing game and an offensive line in disarray. Suddenly, this is a defensive battle, a la UF's early-season 16-7 victory against Tennessee. UF's defensive front may not be able to spell Tereshinski, but it should have no problem slamming the junior quarterback to the ground while talking trash about his mama. In the two losses this season to Alabama and LSU, the shell-shocked Gators were humiliated before the halfway mark of the first quarter. That's why the key to Saturday's game will be pressuring 'Shinski early to give the Gators confidence while putting fear in his eyes. If UF's offense can establish a running game and muster up something in the air, a mere 14-points could be enough for the Gators season to mean something again. Of course, even if UF escapes Jacksonville victorious, the Gators need faith on their side while praying to the football gods that Georgia trips up again. But at least after four years of midseason Outback and Music City Bowls chatter, the Gators are just one victory away from relevance. Now, if Shockley resumes clipboard duty ,and 'Shinski still leads Georgia to victory, get the pitchforks and torches ready. The Dolphins lose a Friday night thriller, 1.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 21 Loss of Lchte hinders Gators in Texas tournament E FRESHMAN ALLY STEPS UP, BUT GATORS STILL FALL. By RACHEL ROBINS Alligator Writer With the Gators' star swimmer nursing an injury in Gainesville, the UF men's swimming team had little luck in Texas. The men's team (2-2, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) lost to Texas 243-127 before falling to California 247-123. UF senior Ryan Lochte, an Olympic gold-medalist, was unable to make the trip with a shoulder injury. This left the Gators shorthanded throughout the meet. Freshman Bradley Ally recorded the only individual win for the Gators in the 400-yard individual medley with a time of 3:54.38. "There is a saying in swimming that if you're happy in October, you're not going to be very happy in March," UF coach Gregg Troy said. "We're not very happy right now, but it's still early in the season." The women's team, meanwhile, had somewhat of a better showing in the Lone Star State. The Gators (3-0, 1-0 SEC) captured second place in the Dallas Classic tournament and defeated Southern Methodist University in a dual meet on Thursday, 125-118. The Gators won the 400 medley relay, the 200 individual medley, and the 200 breaststroke. However, it was the diving team that secured the victory for the Gators. "It was key for us to win the diving events today," Troy said. "SMIJ came out and put us in a hole early, but the win in the one-meter came at a crucial time to put us back in the meet. The three-meter win was just as important because it maintained what little control we were able to have toward the end." Alicia Miller and Sarah Ellerby finished first in the one-meter dive and three-meter dive, respectively. However, Vipa Bernhardt proved to be the Most Valuable Player of the weekend. On Thursday, she was the only UF swimmer to win an individual swim competition. She won both the 200 IM and the 200 breaststroke against SMU and claimed first place in the 400 IM and the 100 breaststroke in the Dallas Classic. The Gators were also without Caroline Burckle, who sat out with an illness. "We had some excellent swims; Vipa Bernhardt was excellent for us today and so was Candace Weiman," Troy said. "Both of those individuals swam a lot. and really did a great job for us." Next week, both the pren and women's teams will face Southeastern Conference-rival Georgia on Thursday.

22, ALLIGATOR E MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2005 4 URF d1-511,e LS Arkansas Angie McGinnis and Kari Klinkenborg block the ball against Arkansas in UF's 3-0 sweep on Friday. n GATORS RECEIVE EARLY SCARE FROM RAZORBACKS. By BRYAN JONES Alligator Writer Mother Nature decided to wait until Monday to unleash her latest storm on Florida, so the Gators provided some thunder of their own this weekend at the O'Connell Center. The -No. 4 UF volleyball team (20-1, 10-0 Southeastern Conference) picked up a pair of victories this weekend, sweeping Arkansas (13-8, 6-3 SEC) and Louisiana State (16-5, 6-4 SEC). It was. a Jekyll and Hyde performance for Arkansas Friday night, as the Gators won 30-10 in game one, their largest margin of victory all season. "Game one came awfully easy, and as a coach you almost fear that it was too easy," UF coach Mary Wise said. Game two, however, turned out to be the closest game UF has played this year, as the Gators edged the Razorbacks in a 33-31 nail-biter. "The first game, I don't think we saw the Arkansas team that we know, and they are definitely better than they played that first game," outside hitter Marcie Hampton said. "That second game we didn't play up to our level, and they played up to theirs." The fans came alive in game two, when the crowd of 2,522 tried to will the Gators to victory. With the Gators trailing late, the fans responded, creating an atmosphere that sounded more like a UF basketball game than a typical volleyball match. "The first game, I don't think we saw the Arkansas team that we know, and they are definitely better than they played that first game." Mary Wise UF volleyball coach Arkansas was competitive in game three as well, but the Gators were able to mount a late run to close out the match 30-23. While Arkansas' blocking helped keep the Gators offensive efficiency down, middle blocker Kari Klinkenborg gave the Gators a strong performance, recording 8 kills on a game-high .583 hitting percentage. "What I am really pleased with is how much better [Klinkenborg] is being patient in terms of hitting what she is given," Wise said. "Early on, she was trying to create kills maybe on sets that weren't quite there. She does have a fast arm and I think she and Angie [McGinnis have found their rhythm together]." Sunday's match against LSU was a more routine victory for UF, as the Gators defeated the road-tested Tigers 30-20, 30-21, 30-20. Due to the effects of Hurricane Katrina, LSU did not play a match at home until last week. "When your football team plays more [home] matches than your volleyball team, you know it's a tough year," Wise said. While the Gators have a reputation for featuring strong attackers, it was their defense that was most influential in the two weekend victories. Arkansas was only able to muster a .076 hitting percentage, while LSU needed a late push to finish at .021. "It all starts with serving," Wise said. "If the opposing team can't get a perfect pass, that really helps our defense. So our defensive numbers are all based on the great serving." Jane Collymore led the Gators with 17 kills against LSU and 29 for the weekend, while tallying 25 digs in the two matches. Her 21 points against LSU moved her into fifth place in UF history for career points scored. "[Collymore] nade it difficult on LSU both when she was in the front row and the back row," Wise said.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 23 Gators4 win lOw-scoring showdown GansoteWv LATE-GAME GOAL BY KERNS LIFTS UF TO VICTORY. By SPENCER DAVIS-VANNESS Alligator Writer sdvanness@aIIigator.org Just one week after Mississippi broke a scoreless match against the UF soccer team in the waning minutes to claim victory, the Gators found themselves locked in another 0-0 battle at Arkansas as the clock wound down. But this time,*freshman forward Megan Kerns turned a free kick from just outside the penalty box into the only goal the Gators would need to return to Gainesville with a win. Sunday's match was anything but a display of offensive power, with the Gators and Razorbacks combining for only 14 shots. The Gators' 10 shots marked one of the lowest team totals of the season. Burleigh said she was unconcerned with the lack of firepower, and that the game presented the kind of defensive challenge she expected. "The last two times we played [Arkansas] it's been a 2-1 type game, so it was a close game as expected," she said. "It was a nice job by our defense to get the shutout." Sunday's match may have also presented a challenging element for the Gators that they previously had not encountered. With temperatures in Fayetteville dipping almost into the 40s with constantly gusting winds, UF was treated to its first taste of fall and a definite departure from the warm, balmy confines of Gainesville. "It was really windy and cold," Burleigh said. "The wind was keeping either team from getting good possession." On Friday, UF played in its, first match since being virtually eliminated from the Southeastern Conference title race. The lowered stakes didn't seem to affect the Gators as they defeated Lindsey DeLorenze drives up field during the Gators' 2-1 win against Louisiana State on Friday night. Louisiana State 2-1. Kerns gave UF an early spark, scoring on a breakaway past the Tigers' goalkeeper and several defenders to earn a goal. LSU responded with a goal of its own on a similar breakaway early in the second half, but a frustrating spell of close calls on countless shots in the second half for UF would truly mark the game. Sophomore forward KeLeigh Hudson, who gave the Gators their final goal in the 82nd minute, said the team knew it was only a matter of time before their fortunes changed. "It felt great getting a goal after so many chances," she said. "We knew we could put them away and we finally did." In a continuing trend of injuries for the Gators, sophomore defender Ashley Harris was hurt during the match, but Burleigh had few details on the extent or seriousness of the injury. Harris did not play on Sunday against the Razorbacks.
