Fraternity
put on ice
for party
By KYLIE CRAIG
Alligator Writer
kcraig@alligator.org
Tau Epsilon Phi Fraternity was
put on social suspension by the Greek
Judicial Board on Wednesday evening
after the fraternity hosted an unregis-
tered party Aug. 20.
The infraction is one of sev-
eral occurring recently within the
Interfraternity Council, as Tau Epsilon
Phi is one of three fraternities facing
punishment in the next month.
TEP President Brett Lieberman said
fraternity members were holding a
"brotherhood" event at their chapter
house the night of the party.
Lieberman said he or-
Greek dered a Pay-Per-View fight
Lif for members living in the
house to watch, all of whom
were under 21 at the time.
Lieberman then left the house to
visit his fiancee, and the fraternity
members were left "in charge of them-
selves."
Former TEP Vice President Jason
Lutin investigated the incident and
said that after speaking with members
present at the party, he discovered that
seven underage members called frater-
nity alumni, who then brought other
guests and beer to the house.
In his opening statement to the ju-
dicial board, Lieberman said, "We're
embarrassed for ourselves. We're em-
barrassed for the Greek community.
Something like this will never happen
again."
He also noted the fraternity had not
been in front of the judicial board in "a
very long time."
Lieberman said there were no
executive members present after he
stepped out. The house just opened up
for members to move back in the day
before the party.

UF President Bernie
Machen said he wants to re-
duce the university's waste
disposal to zero by 2015.
"We will require that all
departments and divisions
recycle," Machen said.
He announced several more
actions the university will ini-
tiate to conserve energy and
reduce waste Wednesday
in a speech on Campus
Sustainability Day.
The day focused on UF
-being environmentally con-
scious and the conservation of
resources.
UF will increase the use
of hybrid and fuel-efficient
university vehicles and will
increase incentives for em-
ployees who carpool, Machen
said.
"We have got to start walk-
ing and using our internal sys-
tems," Machen said, referring
to public transportation.

More than 500 students attended the
Reitz Union Colonnade on Tuesday for the
Healthy Gators 2010 Kickoff Event, which
aimed to promote a healthier lifestyle and
campus among the UF community. -
Healthy Gators 2010 is a coalition of
students, faculty and staff from 42 organi-
zations, departments and UF colleges who
have come together to help promote and
create a healthier campus. The coalition is
related to Healthy Campus 2010, a national
campaign that focuses on college-relevant
objectives from the national Healthy People
2010 mission.
"Healthy Gators 2010 goes far and be-
yond anything that's offered now," said
21-year-old Wendy -Fahsholtz, a first-year
graduate student in health education and
behavior who is working for the coalition.
"Healthy Gators 2010 goes far
and beyond anything that's of-
fered now."

tion and behavior
"It's not just specifically one program;
it's really a campuswide effort to create a
healthier culture on campus," she said.
Once the coalition has collected data,
such as behavioral surveys from students,
staff and faculty, it intends to apply for
grant funding.

M War veterans,
members of peace
movements and UF
students protested
Wednesday evening to
denounce the deaths
of 2,000 U.S. soldiers
in Iraq.
See story, pg. 4.
The program also intends to use the data
collected to assess where UF stands in com-
parison to other universities participating
in Healthy Campus 2010, said Jill Vames,
vice chairwoman of the Healthy Gators
steering committee.
Data reassessment will be done annu-
ally and will tell the coalition what areas
of health need improvement on campus
and will help them design appropriate
programs.
The event, which lasted from 10 a.m.
to 2 p.m., included information avail-
able from 35 health-related groups,
discounted flu shots for members of the
UF community and an array of health
screenings.

UF School of Music announced
Max Lee as the undergradu-
ate winner of its Solo Concerto
Competition on Wednesday.
Lee, a junior, won for playing
Edward MacDowell's "Piano

there was very little separation in
how well we each performed,"
he said.
As winner of the concerto
competition, Lee will perform
with the University Symphony
Orchestra during Spring.
"I'm excited because I spe-
cifically chose this piece by how

False fire alarm scare closes down local rehab center
By HEATHER RAPP
Alligator Contributing Writer
About 20 disabled residents of
University Place Care and Rehab
Center were evacuated Wednesday
afternoon after an employee smelled
smoke coming from a bathroom.
The fire alarm was pulled at
about 3 p.m. at 4000 SW 20th Ave.,
but officials said no fire was started
in a nursing bathroom vent. No inju-
ries were reported.
Dust caused the vent's fan to
malfunction, said Jeff Bradley, the
center's administrator.
"There was a little smoke, and
to be safe we called the fire depart-
ment," Bradley said.
About 10 minutes after the alarm
went off, emergency vehicles arrived.
Disabled residents continued
moving into the center's parking lot
until about 3:15 p.m.
"We're going on a field trip!" one
patient joked as he maneuvered his
walker through the exit.
After the alarm sounded, two
confused nurses hesitantly reached
for fire extinguishers.
Local "I guess I'll pick
News it up and go with the
flow," one nurse said
as she darted down the hallway.
Within 15 minutes, the wing was
cleared of all patients.
By 3:19 p.m., shouts of "all dear"
rang through the hallways, and at-
tendants rapidly returned residents
to their rooms.
Patrick Tombler of the Alachua
County Sheriff's Department said he
was glad the center called for help.
"Better to be safe than sorry," he
said.

Protesters denounce war, mourn dead
* THE U.S. DEATH TOLL IN
IRAQ JUST PASSED 2,000.
By ALEJANDRA CANCINO
Alligator Contributing Writer
War veterans, members of
peace movements and UF stu-
dents peacefully protested the
2,000 deaths of U.S. soldiers in
Iraq on the comer of University
Avenue and 13th Street on
Wednesday evening.
The demonstration started
slowly, but more showed up as
the evening progressed, totaling
about 100 by 7 p.m.
Jennifer Wildes, a protester
whose son is in Iraq, said she was
there because she does not sup-
port the war.
"Even if my son is killed
before he comes home, I would
not stop trying to stop the war,"
she said.
Her son, a geography major at
UF, should return to Gainesville
in November and will then make
a decision to either re-enlist in the
Army or finish his last semester
in school.
"Follow your heart before you
decide to serve," she advised UF
students. "Understand the rami-
fications and make sure you look
at all the options you have."
Pierce Butler, a member of the
Community Coalition Against
War and Terrorism, said he was
there "to mobilize the public and
scare the government into real-
izing the public is against what
they are doing in Iraq and to
ourselves."
Julia Altman, a third-year
wildlife ecology major, said,
"We should unite to fight apathy
because as demonstrated by this
war, ignorance kills."
-About three out of five cars
honked at the protesters who
held different signs against
President Bush or the war; some
of the drivers pumped their fists
in support, and others just raised
their middle fingers.
A few drove away while

Wednesday evening at University Avenue and 13th Street.
screaming obscenities, angered
by signs that read: "In memory
of those killed in Iraq: 2,000 U.S.
soldiers. 30,098 Iraq civilians,"
"Honk for no more Bushit," and
"No police state for me repeal
the Patriot Act," among others.
An elderly couple support-
ing the war stood among the
protesters, trying to keep the
balance.
"Look at history and the
weak have always been domi-
nated," said Clair C. Chaffin, a
World War II veteran. "We have
to be a strong country, and the
only way to be a strong country
is to be all behind the president,
stand squarely behind the presi-
dent and let the troops know we
solely support them."
At about 6 p.m., the crowd
marched to the parking- lot of
the Sound Depot & Performance
store on Fourth Avenue and 13th
-Street, across from the National
Guard Recruiting Office, for a
candlelight vigil and a reading
of the 2,000 names of the dead
soldiers.
A representative in the office
declined to comment about the
protest.
Some protesters held
candles and, formed a circle
around a table full .of lit can-
dles, which stood next to the
podium where volunteers read
the names. Others stood on
the sidewalk to hold anti-war
signs. Some protesters shed
tears in mourning as the names
were called out.
"This is the least we can do
if 2,000 men and women have
been killed in Iraq," said Bob
Tancig, coordinator for Florida
Coalition for Peace & Justice.
Fraternity
kicks out 25
members
HEARING, from page 1
Police reports stated there were
approximately 150-200 people at
the house. However, Lieberman
said the number was closer to 80.
Following the incident, the fra-
ternity kicked out close to 25 mem-
bers, who Lieberman said were "a
bad influence on the others," and
TEP National Headquarters put
the organization on social proba-
tion until Spring.
The fraternity also sent letters to
alumni who provided the beer say-
ing TEP was embarrassed by their
actions and banned them from the
house for a year.
Along with social suspension
through Dec. 17, the Greek Judicial
Board also implemented social
probation through Spring 2006.
The fraternity also has been
involved in several community
service projects since the incident.
One of the projects was the TEP
Trot 5K, which was the first phil-
anthropic event the fraternity has
held in at least six years.
Lieberman said it was a chal-
lenge because none of the current
members had ever been around
so see a philanthropic event take
place.
"TEP is in the middle of a cul-
ture change. It's all going in the
right direction," Lieberman said.

President: Environmental consciousness will help UF achieve its goals
MACHEN, from page 1
He also said the university
will make the president's house
a model of efficiency.
In addition, UF will reduce
electricity consumption by re-
questing that employees turn off
computers and electrical devices
when they are not in use.
Machen set Campus
Sustainability Day as an annual
"report card" day to assess UF's
conservation efforts and keep the
university accountable.
"Ultimately, sustainability will
improve our lives and the lives
of our children," Machen said.
"That's something the University
of Florida should be all about."
A panel. of UF faculty and
experts in sustainability spoke
before Machen and emphasized
that administrators should not
fear changes because the institu-
tions that adopt the conservation
methods will profit from the
reduced overhead costs and the
increased positive publicity.
David, Gustashaw, vice presi-
dent of engineering at Interface,
was on the panel. His business
"I'm tired of talking. We're
going to make some
changes post-haste."
David Gustashaw
Interface vice president of
engineering
uses environmentally conscious
work principles, and he said he
thought the initiatives Machen
announced were useful and at-
tainable.
He said UF's plans to define
and measure environmentally
conscious improvements will
help it actually attain its goals,
and not just discuss abstract
ideas.
"I'm tired of talking,"
Gustashaw said. "We're going to
make some changes post-haste."
Gators 2010 program hopes to coordinate health-related initiatives on campus
HEALTHY, from page 1
Chairwoman of the Healthy Gators steer-
ing committee Chris Machen spoke at noon
about the coalition's proactive efforts, goals,
long-term planning and needed support.
Machen, wife of UF President Bernie
Machen, said Healthy Gators will act as an
umbrella group to other UF health-conscious
initiatives. She spoke for about five minutes,
saying that this is an important mission be-
cause people take health for granted.
She added there are many opportunities
for students and staff to get health screen-
ings on campus, including testing one's
body mass index, but joked, "if you really
want to know. I feel that it can be a depress-
ing number."
Varnes said the coalition aims to make
health-related services and information
' more accessible to the community.
"When you think of a healthy campus,
we want people to think of the University of
Florida first," Varnes said.
The coalition's Web site acts as a "one
stop shop" that features' links to other UF
health-related services, groups and pro-
grams.
"We're not trying to replace anything
that's- going on," Varnes
said. "We just want to help
everyone know what's go-
ing on."
Program spokeswom-
an Jane Emmeree further
o stressed the coalition's
'Wak'- goal of bringing health-
Machen related campus initia-
tives together and making them more ac-
cessible.
"On a campus this size it's difficult for
all of these health-related organizations
to coordinate efforts and come together,"
Emmeree said.
Emmeree, who is also director of
GatorWell Health Promotion Services, said
that although each UF health-related pro-
gram is independent and distinct, the com-
monality is that all of them are dedicated to
a health-conscious mission.
"It's a coalition of many distinct groups,

more," Emmeree said.
She said the program is not planning to
fund any health-related campus groups but
rather is providing services from various
organizations that have different funding
sources.

Official misuse
SG must stop funding
unsustainable programs
We thought students were the poor ones in the food
chain of a public university. They give up all of their
savings to be educated by professionals, then use
the remaining crumbs to buy cheap beer.
But in the past few years, it appears university officials are
taking the money reserved for our use and using it to fund
their ventures. They've found the gold mine of financial back-
ing where large amounts of cash are distributed with negli-
gible paperwork and fiscal claims are accepted with minimal
discussion.
Let's see if you can guess what student sector's ass these
officials have been fiercely tapping.
Here's a hint: It controls more than $11 million of your
tuition money, and the Editorial Board has an unhealthy ob-
session with it.
That's right: It's Student Government. The most recent
instance of an official attempting to take advantage of student
senators' ignorance is Michael Blacnly, director of the Phillips
Center for the Performing Arts.
At Tuesday's Senate meeting, Blachly asked senators to
consider pouring more money into subsidizing student tickets
for shows. In February, SG gave $75,000 to subsidize tickets. In
July, SG gave $115,000 to the center, but more than $96,000 of
it is already gone.
That didn't last very long.
More than 3,000 students took advantage of the $10 tickets.
By our calculations, that means SG is paying more than $20
for each ticket.
When will this stop? The Phillips Center should not be al-
lowed to constantly come to Senate and ask for money from
reserves. It's not sustainable.
Since July, SG has paid an average of more than $30,000
a month to the center. That's absolutely ridiculous. Are they
seriously considering funding tickets for a third time?
We're glad students are going to performances, but this
subsidy benefits the Phillips Center more than the students.
Students are paying for the tickets all the same; SG is just forc-
ing every student to pay a large chunk of the ticket price so
that a few will be inclined to pay the rest.
If the Phillips Center wants students, it will have to lower
the ticket price itself. SG doesn't have the money to make ev-
ery business alluring to students.
But this isn't the only instance of officials milking us for all
we've got.
Remember Gator Growl and the $140,000 taken out of re-
serves that went to subsidize tickets?
And what about the $100,000 we gave to the Reitz Union to
fix a sewer line? And the $500,000 interest-free loan for Reitz
renovations? And the $1.5 million that was supposed to go to
the Flavet Field Bandshell and at the last minute was redirect-
ed to the Reitz for another sewer line and redecoration?
The Reitz Union already gets a big chunk of SG's budget.
Its officials have absolutely no right to ask for so much extra
money outside of their budget.
Just from the examples in this editorial, that's more than
$900,000 taken from reserves. That doesn't count the $1.5 mil-
lion, which came from a state fund made up of tuition money
that is released to the university every three to five years.
SG should look more closely at who comes asking for mon-
ey and whether students benefit enough to justify funding.
At this point, it looks like they're being used.

Audit supports labor union's claims
T he Oct. 20 Alligator article titled "Audit gives
insight," which mentioned the Florida audi-
tor general's findings against the International
Student Fee, should serve as a reminder of the UF
administration's fundamentally contradictory stance on
campus diversity.
Earlier in the semester, when officials from UF's
administration participated in a protest march against
an offensive cartoon printed in the Alligator, my initial
reaction was one of outrage at officials' display of hy-
pocrisy.
I agree that the cartoon belittled a legitimate observa-
tion in the aftermath of the Hurricane Katrina disaster.
Instead, my anger was compounded by the audacity of
the administration to claim that it was marching in the
name of its commitment to a diverse campus environ-
ment.
For the past three years, the administration has made
discrimination an official university policy with the
implementation of an arbitrary $50 semester fee.
In other words, UF charges international students
$50 each semester just because they come from- a foreign.
country.
This practice renders hollow UF's commitment to
diversity.
For those of you scoring at home, Graduate Assistants
United has staged three major protest marches against
this fee.
Most recently, when the Board of Trustees refused
to hear our complaint at its Spring meeting, we held a
major rally that attracted numerous protesters and-vari-
ous local media.
As a labor union, we will once again make known to
Todd Reynolds
Speaking Out
the university administration our
unwillingness to accept this dis-
criminatory practice against such a
large section of its own educational
workforce.
Graduate assistants do much of the undergraduate
instruction and research at UF.
As graduate assistants, we are not compensated as
regular or adjunct faculty, and this allows our highly
paid administration to maintain a low overhead.
International graduate students, making up a much
larger portion of graduate labor than the general stu-
dent .population, are valuable to UF.
But with this fee, they are treated as second-class
educational employees.
According to the Alligator article, Florida's auditor
general has come to a conclusion that coincides with
what we've argued for the past three years that
"UF 'acted clearly without statutory authority' when it
charged certain international students $50 per semester
to cover the cost of tracking them beginningFall.2002."
The administration's response, however, shows that
it intends to continue talking about diversity while at
the same time taxing its own international community.
GAU will continue to protest this fee until the UF
administration decides that it truly values equality and
diversity above profit margins and abolishes this fee.
We invite Dean Zdziarski and the-rest of the Dean
of Students Office to come protest with us against this
discriminatory fee.
Somehow, I doubt they will accept our invitation.
Todd Reynolds is an English graduate student ahd co-presi-
dent of Graduate Assistants United.

Racial divisions more defined,in college
T he only label my Guatemalan
mother and American father ever
gave me was my name. We didn't
view ourselves as Latino or as white; we
didn't even speak the same language all
the time. Our Christmas dinners with
the rest of the family .consisted of mixed
languages in our conversations, and re-
gardless of whether one spoke English or
Spanish to the other, everyone managed
to understand each other.
In high school, my friends and I de-
fined what I later learned to call diversity.
Much like my family, my friends' names
came before their culture. We were all dif-
ferent, yet we shared the same perspec-
tive there were no ethnic boundaries
that limited us to the possibilities of creat-
ing lifelong friendships and a whirlwind-
of knowledge outside of what we already
knew. I left for Syracuse University be-
Christine Show living that this
UWire way of thinking
was natural for
everyone.
During my first days at SU, I realized
I was no longer just Christine, but a part
of a group I hadn't previously identified
with so closely. I was among the many
that felt obligated to stick with "my peo-
ple" those of black and Latino descent,
for me although I wasn't quite sure
why I needed to belong to one group. I
never analyzed what people I belonged
with culturally as much as I have as a
student here.
"I never had to walk into school (and
say,) 'Yep, I'm Hispanic,'" said Kristine
Delgado, a public relations and Spanish
sophomore. "Coming here I feel like it's
all (people) see."
And there's nothing wrong with ac-
knowledging each other's cultures; I'm
proud to be a woman of color. We should
all be proud of our ethnicities. But I de-
cided I wouldn't let these cultural lines
stop me -from exploring. Unfortunately,
not' everyone on campus can say the
same thing.
We've gotten too comfortable to
bother reaching out to the people around
us. There is no reason why we shouldn't
be getting to know those we pass by each
day. Some of my best friends are people
who, on the surface, are nothing like me,
but have taken the time to learn more.
There is more to a person than what
you see on the outside, but it's up to you
to make a move. Make a change. Expand
your mind. And who knows? Maybe
you'll find a lifelong friend.

University.
Letter to the Editor
SG election results shouldn't stop efforts
In the aftermath of the Fall 2005 Student
Senate elections, one begins to wonder exactly
what happened to all those campus leaders
outside pressing the flesh. Have they gone back
into hibernation until the next election cycle? If
so, that's a shame, because there's so much to be
done and so few leaders on campus to do it.
For those who lost their campaigns, there's no
reason to stay away from Student Government
or organizational leadership. Former Board
of College Councils and Inter-Residence Hall
Association executives like Gary Slossberg,
Jeremy Kaplan, Dave Winchester, Ken Kerns
and myself never let the ballot box dictate our
level of enthusiasm or involvement at the state's
flagship public institution.

After donning geeky glasses and hiked-up
pants for nearly a decade on the sitcom "Family
Matters," the man behind the suspenders a
self-described athlete and perfectionist will
bring his unique experiences from 25 years
in the entertainment industry to the stage of
the University Auditorium as Accent presents
Jaleel White tonight at 8.
White said he is eager to talk to students
about his passion for writing, acting, life after
college and, yes, even Steve Urkel.
"I'm going to open myself up like a book,"
White said in a phone interview Friday. "If you
have a question, I have an answer."
Accent, which previously booked controver-
sial speakers Michael Moore and Jose Canseco,
= will pay White $7,500 for his
appearance plus airfare and
accommodations. Accent
Chairman Evan Tyroler said
the organization strives to at-
tract public speakers who will
generate interest and appeal
SWhite to the student body.
S White Tyroler said he feels stu-
dents will enjoy listening to White because he is
a pop-culture icon and will challenge students
to think about life outside of Gainesville.
"We grew up watching Jaleel on 'Family
Matters,'" Tyroler said. "Jaleel is going to talk
about life growing up in the limelight and how
he dealt with the adversity of finding work af-
ter a successful television show."
SUF community health education junior Veda
Rammohan first saw White after she moved to
the United States from India in 1992.
"'Family Matters' was the first American
television sitcom that I was introduced to, and I
fell in love with it immediately mainly because
of the character Urkel," Rammohan said.
She said she admires White as a positive role
model for minority students.
S' "I feel that he has a lot to offer UF students
with regard to his successful career as a minor-
ity actor," she said.
White, 28, began his role on "Family
Matters" guest starring as the gawky but lov-
able nerd Steve Urkel. White's one-time guest
stint became a recurring role, and the 12-year-
old became an instant sensation as audiences

Jaycees spook locals

Whether it's scares or socializing
you're after, Gainesville has haunts for
ghouls of all ages.
The Gainesville Junior Chamber of
is hosting its 10th annual haunted
house fundraiser, "Dungeons of Doom,"
this weekend at the Alachua County
Fairgrounds, 2900 NE 39th Ave., and will
terminate its spooky stay Monday.
Jaycees transformed their clubhouse
Tim Hus in, Alligator Sta"f
A model of a man being electrocuted is one of the many attractions in the
haunted house at the Alachua County Fairgrounds this weekend.
for charity
into a haunted spectacle full of creepy,
hidden characters and a dark maze with
surprises that will have visitors running
for their lives.
"We have people run, trip, crawl,
everything," said haunted house co-chair-
man Evan King, adding that none of the
actors are permitted to touch the people
passing through.
Visitors must go through several
themed rooms including a scream room, a
clown room and a dizzying tunnel before
arriving at a maze behind the house. The
Jaycees-usually spend up to $3,000 on the
haunted house but make anywhere from
$8,000 to $10,000. King said he expects to
break records, raising more money than in
previous years.
"That's a lot of money to give back to
the community," he said.
Admission is $5, and all proceeds go to
local charities including the Boys & Girls
Club and the Reichert House, said Jaycees
secretary Kelly Lonesk.
For haunt seekers looking for some-
thing less frightening .and more social,
The Swamp Restaurant will host its an-
nual Halloween party Monday starting at
8 p.m. featuring a costume contest with a
prize of a $100 tab.
"The place will be completely decked
out," said manager Christy Vasquez.
For those who can't wait until
Monday, Rehab, a new club, is holding
its Halloween bash tonight. "Halloween
Homecoming Five," hosted by The
Dynasty promotion group, will follow
a five-year party tradition. According
to Rehab promoter Justin Fawcett, The
Dynasty has held the party five years in
a row twice at Simon's, once at Palace
and last year at 238 West. He said cos-
tumes are encouraged.
Abbey Road, Ace of Clubs and Ocean
Avenue also will have a Thursday night
Halloween event with a slightly chari-
table twist. Promoter Peter Gonzalez said
the dubs will donate a percentage of their
proceeds to the American Red Cross for
hurricane relief.
There will also be a costume contest
with prizes ranging from $100 to $300.

Generation misinterprets the hook up
The other day on "Real Time with Bill
Maher," I saw Tom Wolfe, one of my
favorite authors, joking about our
generation's mating habits. The usually
right-on author sarcastically pointed out
what he called the end of dating and our
generation's tendency toward the hook-up.
In what feels like a case of 'the old
man just doesn't get it,' he contended
that kids today don't
date, but rather hook up
continually and often
quasi-anonymously after
a night at the bar with a
group of friends.
Now, I can't argue against the claim
that dating is dead. But the idea that all
we do is hook up anonymously felt com-
pletely inaccurate.
'Then I realized what Wolfe missed.
We don't date, but we certainly don't all
hook up either. Most people have vari-
ous circles of friends in which we meet
new people we might be interested in.
Typically, after getting to know a person
in a group setting first, we start seeing
each other privately.
What's hard for the older generation to
understand is that our age group doesn't
date any longer in the traditional getting-
to-know-you sense. Dates now are mostly
activities of established couples who can
already enjoy each other's company for a
significant time period.
Time spent on a bad date wastes time
that could be spent hanging out with
friends. Therefore, we rarely use the date
as a social event to meet and better ac-
quaint ourselves with a stranger.
In my opinion, our generation is smart
for leaving this ineffective social habit in
the past. Dating in the traditional sense
remains one of the most consistently awk-
ward activities ever invented, second only
to the county-issued,

theavenue@alligator.org To be honest, I don't
think I've ever been on a
good first date. I've been
on memorable first dates, but never good
ones. Once, I was with a guy who decided
the 24-hour restaurant we were eating in
at 2 a.m. smelled bad and had the wait-
ress re-seat us three times. Finally, he
concluded the whole place stunk, ordered
a milkshake that wasn't on the menu and
left without tipping.
While this isn't the norm of all dat-
ing experiences, I can say my traditional
getting-to-know-you dates have never
amounted to more than mediocre meals
with mediocre people.
So I applaud our generation for bunk-
ing antiquated tradition, and I endorse
our age's standard of soon-to-be couples
meeting and getting to know each other
in group settings first. Of course, this isn't
what Wolfe, or most of the older gen-
eration, sees and maybe it's time someone

Although, he

grateful for the oppor- ac
tunities he enjoyed as a
child actor.
"I had a kick-ass job, traveled to
every state and overseas," White said.
"If anything, I missed out on the non-
sense that goes on in high school."
White, a graduate of UCLA film
school, agreed to speak at UF because
it is a well-respected university. He
hopes to offer students honest advice
on how to survive in the real world
after graduation.
"An undergraduate degree won't
help you get a job," White said. "If col-
lege teaches you one thing, it should
be to make things happen when they
need to happen because after you
graduate, it's a reality check."

After the success of Family Matters,
White was forced to deal with the re-
ality of finding consistent work in an
ever-evolving entertainment industry.
White wrote several episodes of the
show, which ignited his passion to
continue writing professionally.

One of White's greatest accom-

MTV2 seeks VJs
at Oaks Mall
By MARIA LAVERGHETTA
Avenue Writer
For the first time, The Oaks Mall in Gainesville and Cox
Communications are hosting the MTV2 Local VJ competi-
tion through Sunday.
One hundred people and 10 alternates will be randomly
drawn from this week's auditions the following week to
compete at a live audition held Nov. 4 at the mall.
The only stipulation is those selected must be between
the ages of 18 and 24. One grand-prize winner will be cho-
sen three weeks after the audition.
Jennifer Melfi, the marketing assistant at The Oaks Mall
in charge of the competition, said she is excited about the
upcoming auditions.
The small booth where participants sign up at the mall
is directly next to the customer-service desk. Name, ad-
dress, phone number and date of birth are required before
placing the application in the box.
Melfi wished she had participated when she was in
college.
"Everybody grew up on MTV," she said.

CHEAP BEAT
Some costumes still cheap
Band plays creepy show
With the warm glow of jack-o'-lantems
and the obligatory passing out of free
candy comes the pressure to shell out
for a good Halloween costume.
If you are like me, you've convinced your-
self for the first three weeks of October that
dressing up isn't worth it.
We both know this simply means you
haven't thought of anything good. Inevitably,
some friend makes you feel guilty and uncre-
ative for not having an elabo-
rate, witty costume planned.
They even tell you you're not
invited to his party unless
you dress up. So, with days
left, you have to go big or stay
home. The pressure mounts.
But it's not too late to salvage yourself from
this last-minute-costume-bom-out-of-social-
pressure distress.
This year, I am scrambling for brilliance
along with you.
The following costumes don't require the
loss of personal dignity but only a trip to
Goodwill or Wal-Mart and the expenditure of
no more than $10.
The first cheap-costume category: those
involving a box or other type of receptacle.
All of these will require some paint and wide
doorways.
Travel back to your childhood and be a
LEGO. Cut six cottage cheese containers in
half, glue the bottoms to a box, then spray-
paint the entire thing the color of your choice.
As a holiday preview, you could be a
Christmas present.
If bows aren't up your alley, you could be
dirty laundry. Cut the bottom out of a plastic
hamper, tape the edges so as not to cut yourself
and fill it with clothes. The hamper should ride
on your hips, so at least you will be able to sit.
If thoughts of laundry make you cranky,
express this by becoming. Oscar the Grouch.
Cut the bottom out of a plastic trash can, tape
the lid to a baseball cap, paint your arms and
face green and make eyebrows out of a fake
moustache.
Diana Jo The next category of
Godfrey cheap costumes: those
C a Bre involving either sweats or
Cheap Beat leggings as a base.
theavenue@alligator.org Basically any animal
distinguished by a tail,
floppy ears, and colored fur canbe created with
ease. Bunnies always seem to roam around
Gainesville in abundance. Puppies, skunks,
spiders, all of these can be pulled off with
pinned-on extremities and some face paint.
Next, look to the fruit kingdom for inspira-
tion. Purple or green balloons and more pins
can transform you into a cluster of grapes. You
may find it difficult to get close to anyone, but a
few people are bound to give you a laugh.
With leftover balloons, a friend could round
up a huge plastic bag, cut holes for her legs,
and become a human bag of jelly beans.
Good luck sitting down.
Pin socks, undies, shirts and drier sheets on
yourself to become static cling personified.
Whether you wear a box, a hamper, floppy
ears or even a rented generic costume, I wish
you much Halloween fun.

The Monistats, all trans- dru
plants from South Florida, spe-
cialize in two-minute punk songs
that they kill, bury, dig back up and
polish off with pop melodies. The band's
inner album photo off its summer release
"Let's Disinfect!" shows them dressed
up as The Molasses Gang, the band's
fictitious alter-ego act, dissecting a brain,
potentially for food.
The band's lead singer and guitar-
ist, Sean, dons a handlebar mustache as
bassist Dan and Chris salivate over the
odd entree.
"That's our sense of humor," Chris
said. "Let's put it that way."
One of Gainesville's premiere horror
acts, it seems obvious Halloween is the
group's time of year to shine.
The band plans to kick off the holiday
with a Saturday "Rocky Horror Picture
Show"-themed house party. The band,
in costume, will play covers from the
cult classic. The location of the show will
be announced on the band's MySpace
account, which is accessible through its
Web site, themonistats.com.
"Crowd participation is a must,"

nation The Monistats will also

sincere Monday for its Halloween
Horror Show with Cara
tmer del Gato and Baby Dracula.
Though the band doesn't plan
to continue its Rocky Horror get-
up for the show, the venue will hold
a costume contest.
Some upcoming shows will also
feature a very different side of The
Monistats. The band recently played
their first acoustic show, a territory they
are a little unfamiliar with. The idea to
unplug came out of necessity, Chris said.
Between work and a late class schedule,
it is becoming harder and harder for the
band to find time to load gear, particu-
larly drums, before a show.
"We were trying to make our instru-
mentation the best as possible with what
we had to work with," he said.

Kickers, defense will
define Georgia game
Ican imagine what those of you heading to
Jacksonville this weekend are looking forward to.
You and eight or nine of your buddies have
pitched in money to stay at the Adam's Mark or
the Hilton downtown. You can't wait to get to the
Landing, where you'll meet and greet with those
lovely ladies from the Peach State.
Gentlemen, no more casual babes in Gators' tank
tops and khaki shorts for you. No, sir, the girls from
Georgia will be decked out in their finest red and
black dresses just like they were headed to the prom.
With the ESPN Gameday boys there, this is go-
ing to be the sweetest weekend of college football all
year, right?
Well, that may be true as long as you don't count
the actual game between the
___. Gators and the Bulldogs.
| j Don't get me wrong. The
'.. tailgating and partying will still
-'-.* be there. However, I think this
;, is going to be one snoozer of a
game for most people watch-
Farzad Safi ing.
Far's Side The fans want to see Chris
fsafi@alligator.org Leak throwing an 80-yard play-
action pass to Chad Jackson or
Georgia's Leonard Pope plow-
ing over three Gators' defenders. Sorry, but I doubt
you'll see too much of that.
The fact is that this is the year of defense in the
Southeastern Conference. It's no coincidence that
there isn't a single SEC team ranked in the top 30 in
total offense in the entire nation.
Let's remember that Leak has only thrown one
touchdown pass to four interceptions in UF's last
three games.
Take away Georgia's leading passer and third-
leading rusher in D.J. Shockley, and that pretty much
stunts the Bulldogs' offense, too.
Where will the points come from on Saturday?
The special teams!
The Gators' hero just might be none other than
walk-on kicker Chris Hetland.
Hetland has been the only Gator who has been
able to consistently put up points for Urban Meyer,
going 8 for 8 in field goals this year.
As good as Hetland has been, Georgia's kicker
has been just as reliable. Brandon Coutu has nailed
16 field goals so far and is actually the SEC's leading
scorer.
You may think that kickers aren't real football
players, but when teams are evenly matched up, who
do you think makes the difference?
LSU defeated Auburn last weekend because
Auburn's kicker missed five field goals in the game,
including a crucial one in overtime.
After the Alabama loss, Meyer said, "If they want
me to kick field goals, they hired the wrong guy."
Well, Coach, that's admirable, but they did hire
you to win games, and it looks like Hetland is the
best card you've got in your hand right now.
McDonald hopes to spark UF
* JUNIOR EXPECTS GAME TO
BE A DEFENSIVE BATTLE.
By LOUIS ANASTASIS
Alligator Staff Writer
lanastasis@alligator.org
First on crutches, then on a re-
habilitating right leg, defensive end
Ray McDonald has been watching
the Gators closely for the last month.
Perhaps too closely.
He saw them annihilated at the
hands of Alabama's Brodie Croyle.
He witnessed the Tigers spoil what
should have been UF's five-turnover
party.
He did try to come back for that
game. But just four weeks after par-
tially tearing the ACL in his right knee,
it was two plays punched in, the rest
of the time spent squirming on the
sidelines. Now, with Georgia standing
between UF and a last-ditch shot at the
Southeastern Conference champion-
Andy Apicella / Alligator
Ray McDonald sits out with an injured knee against Louisiana State on
Oct. 15. The defensive end said he will be ready for Georgia.
ship, McDonald will wait no more. He
may not be able to play every snap of
the game, but he'll do anything he ckit
to impact its outcome.
"I've been hurting these past few
weeks watching," McDonald said.
"I know we're 5-2 ... I've felt that I
could've helped my team out a lot
more. I wanted to help my team out a
lot more, but I was hurt. I feel like this
has to be my game right here."
More than ever, the Gators need
McDonald. With UF's offense floun-
dering and Georgia's attack hinging
on an arm more familiar with the punt
team than the first-string offense, the
game likely will be decided by the
defense.
"Of course, [Georgia's] going to
struggle a little bit," McDonald said.
"And our offense is kind of struggling,
so we've got to play for our offense.
It's going to be a great defensive game.
I think it will be a real low-scoring
game."
The Gators lead the SEC with a
+13 turnover margin, with Georgia
in second place at +9. UF's No. 2 SEC
defense can only hope the injured D.J.
Shockley won't make a cameo in the
game. In Athens, Ga., there is no talk
of the possibility of a freak comeback.
Still, the Gators don't want to be am-
bushed by anything at this point.
"The bottom line is that we have
to get ready for Georgia's offense,
and whoever is the quarterback, is the
quarterback," co-defensive coordira-
tor Greg Mattison said. "Some guys
obviously bring other things to the
table, but we still have to go about it as
if he is coming back."
Even if. the incumbent doesn't
play, quarterback Joe Tereshinski 1ll
certainly has weapons to work with.
And there's the mammoth tight end
Leonard Pope. Then there's the con-
ference's most athletic, running back
tandem: the two-headed monster of
Thomas Brown and Danny Ware has
combined for 734 rushing yards.
"They're some good ones," Coach
Urban Meyer said. "They're not neces-
sarily the biggest, but these guys have
had some great games in the past, and
they're extremely fast."
UF's linebacker unit could pres-
ent problems of its own. Linebacker
Brandon Siler will play on a sore left
ankle he sprained toward the end of
the Louisiana State game. His replace-
ment, freshman Jon Demps, is out for
the season. Still, barring some new in-
jury, UF's defense feels it can compen-
sate for any spread offense woes.
"We try to put every game on our
back, because we feel like we have the
ability to do that," Siler said. "We're
just that good."

UF SOCCER
Fresh off injury, soccer star wins SEC honors
By SPENCER DAVIS-VANNESS
Alligator Writer
sdvanness@alligator.org
Imagine what Megan Kerns can do on
the field when she's healthy.
UF soccer coach Becky Burleigh said on
Monday that Kerns is still not fully healed
from a torn meniscus suffered in the season
opener and will continue rehabilitation.
Despite the lingering injury, Kerns re-
ceived Southeastern Conference Freshman
of the Week honors for her performances
against Louisiana State and Arkansas dur-
ing the past weekend.
Kerns scored a goal in both matches,
claiming the first point of the match against
the Tigers and picking up the No. 17 Gators'
(12-4-1, 7-2-1 SEC) lone goal against the
Razorbacks on a 20-yard free kick.
"It's a really great feeling, a great hon-
or," Kerns said. "I'm really surprised to be
back this quickly. The doctors didn't really
give me this chance at all."
Burleigh praised Kerns' durability and
on-the-field abilities.
"When she gets to 100 percent and she
gets a little more experience, she's going to
be someone you guys are going to hear a lot
more about," Burleigh said.
Kerns is the second UF freshman to
earn the award this season. Fellow for-
ward Katie Green picked up the honors
for her performances against Kentucky and
Vanderbilt earlier this year.
HEALTHY GATORS?: For the first time in
weeks, the Gators could enter this weekend
with a full roster.

Freshman Megan Kerns might not be fully healed from an early season injury, but she
was healthy enough to earn SEC Freshman of the Week honors.

sophomore defender Ashley Harris, who
injured her knee against Louisiana State
this past weekend.
Harris was scheduled for an MRI
Thursday evening, but until the results
are in, her status for this weekend remains
completely unknown.
"I can run on [the knee], but it's just
cutting and passing that are a problem,"
Harris said. "I'll keep doing what I've
been doing, just running and passing the
ball around, and hopefully I won't feel the
injury anymore."
FOTOPOULOS RETURNS: Assistant coach
Danielle Fotopoulos returned to the team
this week after spending several weeks
playing on the U.S. Women's National
Team.
Fotopoulos played in matches against
Australia and Mexico alongside fellow
former Gators Abby Wambach and Heather
Mitts.
"It's a blast," she said. "Obviously,
getting to go play with old teammates is
always great at the highest level in the
world."
Fotopoulos said she continued to keep
up with some of her coaching duties while
away by keeping in touch with Burleigh,
text messaging with players and recruiting
from the road.
But for the most part, Fotopoulos said
the trip gave her a chance to look at the
game of soccer a little differently again.
"It gave me a little break from a being
a coach and allows me to get back into the
players' perspective again," she said.

Gators unfazed by national attention
By IAN FISHER
Alligator Staff Writer
ifisher@alligator.org
Even though ESPN GameDay and
ESPN2's Cold Pizza are going to be in
Jacksonville this weekend for the an-
nual Florida-Georgia game, some of the
Gators say it won't really sink in until
they arrive at the cocktail party.
"You love to have that kind of
publicity, but it really slips your mind
sometimes," sophomore linebacker
Brandon Siler said. "You don't see it un-
til you get there. 'Oh, shoot- Ga meDa
is here.' It finally sets in."
Siler said the Gators have bigger
things to worry about than the national
hype that will be cast upon this game
with ESPN in town.
"You don't really play for those types
of things," Siler said. "We still have our
vision on the SEC Championship. We
know some things have to happen, but
the first thing we have to do is handle
our business in Jacksonville."
I im uiasey / suigiutr oianl
UF linebacker Brandon Siler hits Mississippi State receiver Tee Milions during
the Gators' 35-9 win against the Bulldogs on Oct. 8, knocking the ball loose.
Although that may not impress Siler,
one thing that d id impress him last year
was how the crowd is split in half. Siler
was a freshman and didn't quite know
what to expect.
TPepple told me about it on the
way over, and I was like, 'What? Half
and half?'" Siler said. "I didn't know
exactly how that was going to be split,
but it's like a perfect line bam right
down the middle. It's kind of amazing
at first; I wonder how they get down
that kind."
Cold Pizza will air from 8 a.m. to
10 a.m. Friday, and fans are encour-
aged to join the crowd in front of Alltel
Stadium.
INJURY UPDATES: Meyer reiterated
Wednesday that he expects Siler (ankle),
receiver Jemalle Cornelius (ankle) and
defensive end Ray McDonald (knee) to
be able to play against Georgia.
Meyer said McDonald had a good
practice but won't be back to 100 per-
cent on Saturday.
"I don't think he's well enough to
play a full game, but I think he's going
to get in there," Meyer said.
Cornelius and McDonald's health
improvements instill confidence on
both sides of the ball, Meyer said.
THIS AND THAT: Representatives from
the Peach Bowl will be in attendance
Saturday to scout UF and Georgia.
The Peach Bowl, scheduled for Dec.
30, is the only bowl that guarantees
an Atlantic Coast Conference vs. SEC
matchup.

UF BASKETBALL
Injury slows 'Fifth' Sutton's start with Gators
By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer
dtreat@aliigator.org
What are your brothers named?
Well if you're UF freshman Jimmie Sutton, your brother's
name is Jimmie.
And Jimmie.
And Jimmie again.
4.Sutton, who shares the same name as his father and all
three of his brothers, is commonly referred to as "Fifth." In ad-
edition, he has "Fifth" tattooed on his left tricep and "World"
on his right, and he sports the number five on his jersey.
His brother, Jimmie fIl, plays defensive back for N.C. State
and made a recruiting pitch for the Wolfpack while "Fifth"
was in high school.
"He tried to get me to come up there and play football,"
Sutton said. "But I told him I wasn't going to play football,
and he also gave me good advice, saying football is a lot
harder in college than it is in high school."
The sixth of ten children, Sutton came to UF as perhaps
the least heralded member of his freshman class. Maybe it's
Kim Klement/ Alliga
At Madness 2005, Jimmie Sutton holds the ball for his teammate Walter Hodge, setting him up for a slam dunk.
"'tton was cleared to practice this week while recovering from a torn ACL suffered during the spring.
because basketball wasn't always his game.
In addition to being an All-Broward basketball player at
North Broward Prep, he was also All-State in football.
"[Basketball] became a big part because I got bigger,"
Sutton said. "I went from 6-foot-5 to 6-foot-9 real quick, and
football wasn't for me anymore."
A self-described defense-first player, Sutton left North
Broward as the school's all-time leader in both dunks and
blocked shots, after averaging 12.5 points and 10.5 rebounds
his senior year.
He anticipates having a similar function with the Gators.
"My role on the team is just going to be defense and what-
ever Coach [Billy] Donovan gives to me," Sutton said.
While Sutton could provide valuable services to a front-
court lacking depth, before he can develop a role and earn
minutes, he's going to have to return from an ACL tear he suf-
fered in April. It's an injury Donovan described as extremely
serious.
"He had a very, very severe ACL in which he tore part of
the bone off his knee cap," Donovan said. "It was probably
about as severe as you could have, so it was a total knee re-
construction."
Sutton had the knee rescoped four weeks ago because the
injury had been slowing him down during fall drills. He par-
ticipated in his first, albeit limited-contact, practice Tuesday.
How much he will develop throughout the course of the
season is now largely dependent on how often he is able to
practice.
"I'm not worried about his work ethic or his attitude or
how hard he's going to try," Donovan said. "I'm worried
about, like we saw when we started pre-season workouts,
him having constant swelling, him practicing one day and
having to sit out two, just what type of level of consistency
can we get out of him.
"I think it's hard to get any consistency out of a freshman
that's going to be periodically practicing. I think the biggest
thing for him in his growth and development this year would
be if we can have him utilize every single day in practice."
For his part, Sutton is ready to step up and contribute, due
largely in part to the depth issues.
"I don't think I'm going to be too limited," Sutton said. "I
mean, I'm going to have to step up, because we have trouble
on the inside right now."
Swimmers to begin rivalry weekend early against UGA
* LOCHTE IS EXPECTED TO
RETURN TO THE POOL.
By RACHEL ROBINS
Alligator Writer
As the football team prepares for
its cocktail party this weekend, UF's
swim team will hold a premature
one today.
The UF men's and women's
swimming and diving teams
will travel to face Southeastern
Conference rival Georgia today at
2p.m.
The men's team (2-2, 1-0 SEC) is
coming off weekend losses to Texas
and California, but Coach Gregg
Troy did not dwell on the disap-
pointing meets.
"The guys swam well," Troy
said. "We just got beat by teams that
are better than us at the moment."
The men's team was without
senior Olympic gold medalist Ryan
Lochte, but Troy expects him to be
back in the pool today.
"I still think Georgia is the
best [women's] team in the
country. We have to swim
well across the field to
beat them."
Gregg Troy
UF swimming coach
While-Troy is hoping the Gators
can get back to their winning ways
against Georgia, he knows the
Bulldogs will put up a fight.
"Georgia is not as deep as we
are," he said. "[But] we always get
their best shot."
The women's team (3-0, 1-0 SEC)
also was missing a key swimmer at
its last meet.
Sophomore Caroline Burckle
battled the flu last weekend and was
unable to participate.
Troy said she will be ready to go
against No. 3 Georgia.
Even though the women were
short-handed, they were still able
to defeat Southern Methodist 125-
118 on Oct. 20 and capture second
place at the Dallas Classic. In a top-
25 poll released Oct. 20, the College
Swimming Coaches Association of
America ranked the women's team
No. 1 in the nation.
But Troy feels that today's op-
ponent should actually be ranked
ahead of the Gators.
"I still think Georgia is the best
[women's] team in the country,"
Troy said. "We have to swim well
. across the field to beat them."

The infraction is one of several occurring recently within the Interfraternity Council, as Tau Epsilon Phi is one of three fraternities facing punishment in the next month.

Lieberman then left the house to visit his fiance, and the fraternity members were left "in charge of themselves." Former TEP Vice President Jason Lutin investigated the incident and said that after speaking with members present at the party, he discovered that seven underage members called fraternity alumni, who then brought other guests and beer to the house. In his opening statement to the judicial board, Lieberman said, "We're embarrassed for ourselves. We're embarrassed for the Greek community. Something like this will never happen again." He also noted the fraternity had not been in front of the judicial board in "a very long tune." Lieberman said there were no executive members present after he stepped out.

Healthy Gators 2010 is a coalition of students, faculty and staff from 42 organizations, departments and UF colleges who have come together to help promote and create a healthier campus. The coalition is related to Healthy Campus 2010, a national campaign that focuses on college-relevant objectives from the national Healthy People 2010 mission.

Once the coalition has collected data, such as behavioral surveys from students, staff and faculty, it intends to apply for grant funding. The program also intends to use the data collected to assess where UF stands in comparison to other universities participating in Healthy Campus 2010, said Jill Varnes, vice chairwoman of the Healthy Gators steering committee. Data reassessment will be done annually and will tell the coalition what areas of health need improvement on campus and will help them design appropriate programs.

4, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2005 Protesters denounce war, mourn dead N THE U.S. DEATH TOLL IN IRAQ JUST PASSED 2,000. By ALEJANDRA CANCINO Alligator Contributing Writer War veterans, members of peace movements and UF students peacefully protested the 2,000 deaths of U.S. soldiers in Iraq on the corner of University Avenue and 13th Street on Wednesday evening. The demonstration started slowly, but more showed up as the evening progressed, totaling about 100 by 7 p.m. Jennifer Wildes, a protester whose son is in Iraq, said she was there because she does not support the war. "Even if my son is killed before he comes home, I would not stop trying to stop the war," she said. Her son, a geography major at UF, should return to Gainesville in November and will then make a decision to either re-enlist in the Army or finish his last semester in school. "Follow your heart before you decide to serve," she advised UF students. "Understand the ramifications and make sure you look at all the options you have." Pierce Butler, a member of the Community Coalition Against War and Terrorism, said he was there "to mobilize the public and scare the government into realizing the public is against what they are doing in Iraq and to ourselves." Julia Altman, a third-year wildlife ecology major, said, "We should uite to fight apathy because as demonstrated by this war, ignorance kills." -About three out of five cars honked at the protesters who held different signs against President Bush or the war; some of the drivers pumped their fists in support, and others just raised their middle fingers. A few drove away while Andrea Morales/ Alligator Staff A demonstrator helps hold the list of the 2,000 American casualties of the war in Iraq on Wednesday evening at University Avenue and 13th Street. screaming obscenities, angered by signs that read: "In memory of those killed in Iraq: 2,000 U.S. soldiers. 30,098 Iraq civilians," "Honk for no more Bushit," and "No police state for me -repeal the Patriot Act," among others. An elderly couple supporting the war stood among the protesters, trying to keep the balance. "Look at history and the weak have always been dominated," said Clair C. Chaffin, a World War II veteran. "We have to be a strong country, and the only way to be a strong country is to be all behind the president, stand squarely behind the president and let the troops know we solely support them." At about 6 p.m., the crowd marched to the parking lot of the Sound Depot & Performance store on Fourth Avenue and 13th Street, across from the National Guard Recruiting Office, for a candlelight vigil and a reading of the 2,000 names of the dead soldiers. A representative in the office declined to comment about the protest: Some protesters held candles and formed a circle around a table full of lit candles, which stood next to the podium where volunteers read the names. Others stood on the sidewalk to hold anti-war signs. Some protesters shed tears in mourning as the names were called out. "This is the least we can do if 2,000 men and women have been killed in Iraq," said Bob Tancig, coordinator for Florida Coalition for Peace & Justice.

However, Lieberman said the number was closer to 80. Following the incident, the fraternity kicked out close to 25 members, who Lieberman said were "a bad influence on the others," and TEP National Headquarters put the organization on social probation until Spring. The fraternity also sent letters to alumni who provided the beer saying TEP was embarrassed by their actions and banned them from the house for a year. Along with social suspension through Dec. 17, the Greek Judicial Board also implemented social probation through Spring 2006. The fraternity also has been involved in several community service projects since the incident. One of the projects was the TEP Trot 5K, which was the first philanthropic event the fraternity has held in at least six years.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 5 President: Environmental consciousness will help UP achieve its goals MACHEN, from page 1 He also said the university will make the president's house a model of efficiency. In addition, UF will reduce electricity consumption by requesting that employees turn off computers and electrical devices when they are not in use. Machen set Campus Sustainability Day as an annual "report card" day to assess UF's conservation efforts and keep the university accountable. "Ultimately, sustainability will improve our lives and the lives of our children," Machen said. "That's something the University of Florida should be all about." A panel of UF faculty and experts in sustainability spoke before Machen and emphasized that administrators should not fear changes because the institutions that adopt the conservation methods will profit from the reduced overhead costs and the increased positive publicity. David Gustashaw, vice president of engineering at Interface, was on the panel. His business "I'm tired of talking. We're going to make some changes post-haste." David Gustashaw Interface vice president of engineering uses environmentally conscious work principles, and he said he thought the initiatives Machen announced were useful and attainable. He said UF's plans to define and measure environmentally conscious improvements will help it actually attain its goals, and not just discuss abstract ideas. "I'm tired of talking," Gustashaw said. "We're going to make some changes post-haste." Gators 2010 program hopes to coordinate health-related initatives on campus HEA LT HY, from page 1 Chairwoman of the Healthy Gators steering committee Chris Machen spoke at noon about the coalition's proactive efforts, goals, long-term planning and needed support. Machen, wife of UF President Bernie Machen, said Healthy Gators will act as an umbrella group to other UT health-conscious initiatives. She spoke for about five minutes, saying that this is an important mission because people take health for granted. She added there are many opportunities for students and staff to get health screenings on campus, including testing one's body mass index, but joked, "if you really want to know. I feel that it can be a depressing number." Vames said the coalition aims to make health-related services and information more accessible to the community. "When you think of a healthy campus, we want people to think of the University of Florida first," Varnes said. The coalition's Web site acts as a "one stop shop" that features links to other UF health-related services, groups and programs. "We're not trying to replace anything that's going on," Varnes said. "We just want to help everyone know what's going on." Program spokeswoman Jane Emmeree further stressed the coalition's goal of bringing healthMachen related campus initiatives together and making them more accessible. "On a campus this size it's difficult for all of these health-related organizations to coordinate efforts and come together," Emmeree said. Emmeree, who is also director of GatorWell Health Promotion Services, said that although each UTF health-related program is independent and distinct, the commonality is that all of them are dedicated to a health-conscious mission. "It's a coalition of many distinct groups, and collectively, we believe we can do more," Emmeree said. She said the program is not planning to fund any health-related campus groups but rather is providing services from various organizations that have different funding sources.

6, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2005 Ed00or a Official isuse SG must stop funding unsustainable programs thought students were the poor ones in the food chain of a public university. They give up all of their savings to be educated by professionals, then use the remaining crumbs to buy cheap beer. But in the past few years, it appears university officials are taking the money reserved for our use and using it to fund their ventures. They've found the gold mine of financial backing -where large amounts of cash are distributed with negligible paperwork and fiscal claims are accepted with minimal discussion. Let's see if you can guess what student sector's ass these officials have been fiercely tapping. Here's a hint: It controls more than $11 million of your tuition money, and the Editorial Board has an unhealthy obsession with it. That's right. It's Student Government. The most recent instance of an official attempting to take advantage of student senators' ignorance is Michael Blacnly, director of the Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. At Tuesday's Senate meeting, Blachly asked senators to consider pouring more money into subsidizing student tickets for shows. In February, SG gave $75,000 to subsidize tickets. In July, SG gave $115,000 to the center, but more than $96,000 of it is already gone. That didn't last very long. More than 3,000 students took advantage of the $10 tickets. By our calculations, that means SG is paying more than $20 for each ticket. When will this stop? The Phillips Center should not be allowed to constantly come to Senate and ask for money from reserves. It's not sustainable. Since July, SG has paid an average of more than $30,000 a month to the center. That's absolutely ridiculous. Are they seriously considering funding tickets for a third time? We're glad students are going to performances, but this subsidy benefits the Phillips Center more than the students. Students are paying for the tickets all the same; SG is just forcing every student to pay a large chunk of the ticket price so that a few will be inclined to pay the rest. If the Phillips Center wants students, it will have to lower the ticket price itself. SG doesn't have the money to make every business alluring to students. But this isn't the only instance of officials milking us for all we've got. Remember Gator Growl and the $140,000 taken out of reserves that went to subsidize tickets? And what about the $100,000 we gave to the Reitz Union to fix a sewer line? And the $500,000 interest-free loan for Reitz renovations? And the $1.5 million that was supposed to go to the Flavet Field Bandshell and at the last minute was redirected to the Reitz for another sewer line and redecoration? The Reitz Union already gets a big chunk of SG's budget. Its officials have absolutely no right to ask for so much extra money outside of their budget. Just from the examples in this editorial, that's more than $900,000 taken from reserves. That doesn't count the $1.5 million, which came from a state fund made up of tuition money that is released to the university every three to five years. SG should look more closely at who comes asking for money and whether students benefit enough to justify funding. At this point, it looks like they're being used.

Opinions ALLIGATOR www.aIligator.org/opinions jo,, -Audit su ports la bor un ions claims he Oct. 20 Alligator article titled "Audit gives insight," which mentioned the Florida auditor general's findings against the International Student Fee, should serve as a reminder of the UF administration's fundamentally contradictory stance on campus diversity. Earlier in the semester, when officials from UF's administration participated in a protest march against an offensive cartoon printed in the Alligator, my initial reaction was one of outrage at officials' display of hypocrisy. I agree that the cartoon belittled a legitimate observation in the aftermath of the Hurricane Katrina disaster. Instead, my anger was compounded by the audacity of the administration to claim that it was marching in the name of its commitment to a diverse campus environment. For the past three years, the administration has made discrimination an official university policy with the implementation of an arbitrary $50 semester fee. In other words, UF charges international students $50 each semester just because they come from a foreign country This practice renders hollow UF's commitment to diversity For those of you scoring at home, Graduate Assistants United has staged three major protest marches against this fee. Most recently, when the Board of Trustees refused to hear our complaint at its Spring meeting, we held a major rally that attracted numerous protesters and various local media. As a labor union, we will once again make known to Todd Reynolds Speaking Out the university administration our unwillingness to accept this discriminatory practice against such a large section of its own educational workforce. Graduate assistants do much of the undergraduate instruction and research at UF. As graduate assistants, we are not compensated as regular or adjunct faculty, and this allows our highly paid administration to maintain a low overhead. International graduate students, making up a much larger portion of graduate labor than the general student population, are valuable to UF. But with this fee, they are treated as second-class educational employees. According to the Alligator article, Florida's auditor general has come to a conclusion that coincides with what we've argued for the past three years -that "UF 'acted clearly without statutory authority' when it charged certain international students $50 per semester to cover the cost of tracking them beginning Fall 2002." The administration's response, however, shows that it intends to continue talking about diversity while at the same time taxing its own international community. GAU will continue to protest this fee until the UF administration decides that it truly values equality and diversity above profit margins and abolishes this fee. We invite Dean Zdziarski and the rest of the Dean of Students Office to come protest with us against this discriminatory fee. Somehow, I doubt they will accept our invitation.

Guest colium-n Racial divisio T he only label my Guatemalan mother and American father ever gave me was my name. We didn't view ourselves as Latino or as white; we didn't even speak the same language all the time. Our Christmas dinners with the rest of the family consisted of mixed languages in our conversations, and regardless of whether one spoke English or Spanish to the other, everyone managed to understand each other. In high school, my friends and I defined what I later learned to call diversity. Much like my family, my friends' names cane before their culture. We were all different, yet we shared the same perspective -there were no ethnic boundaries that limited us to the possibilities of creating lifelong friendships and a whirlwind of knowledge outside of what we already knew. I left for Syracuse University bens more defined in college Christine Show lieving that this UWire way of thinking was natural for everyone. During my first days at SU, I realized I was no longer just Christine, but a part of a group I hadn't previously identified with so closely. I was among the many that felt obligated to stick with "my people" -those of black and Latino descent, for me -although I wasn't quite sure why I needed to belong to one group. I never analyzed what people I belonged with culturally as much as I have as a student here. "I never had to walk into school (and say,) 'Yep, I'm Hispanic,"' said Kristine Delgado, a public relations and Spanish sophomore. "Coming here I feel like it's all (people) see." And there's nothing wrong with acknowledging each other's cultures; I'm proud to be a woman of color. We should all be proud of our ethnicities. But I decided I wouldn't let these cultural lines stop me from exploring. Unfortunately, not everyone on campus can say the same thing. We've gotten too comfortable to bother reaching out to the people around us. There is no reason why we shouldn't be getting to know those we pass by each day. Some of my best friends are people who, on the surface, are nothing like me, but have taken the time to learn more. There is more to a person than what you see on the outside, but it's up to you to make a move. Make a change. Expand your mind. And who knows? Maybe you'll find a lifelong friend. Christine Show attends Syracuse University. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 7 Letter to the Editor SG election results shouldn't stop efforts In the aftermath of the Fall 2005 Student Senate elections, one begins to wonder exactly what happened to all those campus leaders outside pressing the flesh. Have they gone back into hibernation until the next election cycle? If so, that's a shame, because there's so much to be done and so few leaders on campus to do it.

mhenu THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/avenue /Oy/(9 0 (7f o!a By ERIN CHALFANT Avenue Writer The country that built a 4,163mile long wall will take a few steps to deconstruct traditional borders in Gainesville. Choreographers Li Han-Zhong and Ma Bo have chosen the British classic-rock sound of Pink Floyd's, soundtrack to "The Wall" to express the changing social climate in China. As a part of its 10-city U.S. tour, the Beijing Modern Dance Company will perform "Rear Light" at the Phillips Center for the Performing Arts on Tuesday. "Rear Light" depicts a young Chinese generation struggling to reconcile its traditional culture with influences from abroad and a thirst for sovereignty. "Modem dance is about freedom," said Willy Tsao, artistic director of the Beijing Modem Dance Company. He said the dance company has explored many vehicles for expression, and it is proud to create a show that illustrates how difficult it is to be different. "In China, everything is very traditional,"he said. "It is very authoritative." Most dance companies are still state-supported, which leaves them obligated to create pieces that comply with tradition. Sweet melodies and bright colors reinforce themes of happiness, love and patriotism in traditional Chinese dance performances, Tsao said. A country that has remained traditional for centuries began opening its borders only a few decades ago. Beijing will invite more foreigners than ever before in 2008 when it sponsors the Olympic Games. The New York Times reported that about 75 million rural dwellers in China. will migrate to cities in the next five years. Reflecting these intense cultural changes, Chinese artists are expressing their society's metamorphosis in innovative ways. Dance has become a visual means of relating abstract emotions. Rock 'n' roll remains the classic form of absolving tradition. "The Wall" is the worldwide third-bestselling album of all time, after Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and The Eagles' "Greatest Hits," according to the Record Industry of American. Originally released in 1979, it is courtesy Photo/ Rena Shagan Ass-s The Beijing Modern Dance company will perfo rm to Pink Floi "The Wall" at the Phillips Center for the Performing Arts on Tuesday. one of Pink Floyd's later albums, and the band's own artistic interpretation of its music in movie form reveals a lot of emotion. -anger, confusion and sadness. Disgusted with himself after spitting in a disgruntled fan's face, Roger Waters came up with the idea of building a wall between him and the audience, an idea that developed into the album. Chris Diamond, a 20-year-old finance major who inherited his dad's affinity for Pink Floyd, said the music should translate well into other societies. "Just because Asians are more family oriented doesn't mean that Asian teenagers don't want the newest thing or don't still rebel," he said. After the death of Gen. Mao TseTung in 1976, the overall economic shift in China was from market control to market reform, said UF assistant professor Carlos Rojas, who has Be the first to email Gainesville gets creeepy this the Avenue editors at weekend.

The country became aware of the national suffering caused by ideological authoritarian government, and it took steps toward a more flexible form of control, he said. This shift, among other things, allowed for increased variety of expression. Postulating on his former knowledge of Pink Floyd, Rojas said that the performance likely reveals cynicism with an undercurrent of youthful angst. -"Dance is a universal language," Rojas said. "That's why the.medium translates so well." The performance begins at 7:30 p.m., and the company will lead a free pre-performance discussion beginning at 6:45 p.m. Tickets range from $20 to $35. Student tickets are $10 if purchased in person and are available through both the University Box Office and the Phillips Center Box Office. M Freaking out about your costume?

Urkel offers UF words By MELISSA THOMPSON Avenue Writer After donning geeky glasses and hiked-up pants for nearly a decade on the sitcom "Family Matters," the man behind the suspenders -a self-described athlete and perfectionist -will bring his unique experiences from 25 years in the entertainment industry to the stage of the University Auditorium as Accent presents Jaleel White tonight at 8. White said he is eager to talk to students about his passion for writing, acting, life after college and, yes, even Steve Urkel. "I'm going to open myself up like a book," White said in a phone interview Friday. "If you have a question, I have an answer." Accent, which previously booked controversial speakers Michael Moore and Jose Canseco, will pay White $7,500 for his appearance plus airfare and accommodations. Accent Chairman Evan Tyroler said the organization strives to attract public speakers who will generate interest and appeal to the student body. White Tyroler said he feels students will enjoy listening to White because he is a pop-culture icon and will challenge students to think about life outside of Gainesville. "We grew up watching Jaleel on 'Family Matters,"' Tyroler said. "Jaleel is going to talk about life growing up in the limelight and how he dealt with the adversity of finding work after a successful television show." UF community health education junior Veda Rammohan first saw White after she moved to the United States from India in 1992. "'Family Matters' was the first American television sitcom that I was introduced to, and I fell in love with it immediately mainly because of the character Urkel," Rammohan said. She said she admires White as a positive role model for minority students. "I feel that he has a lot to offer UF students with regard to his successful career as a minority actor," she said. White, 28, began his role on "Family Matters" guest starring as the gawky but lovable nerd Steve Urkel. White's one-time guest stint became a recurring role, and the 12-yearold became an instant sensation as audiences SEE JALEEL, PAGE 10 EThe Avenue's Fashion a Go-Go investigates what your undies say about you at alligator.org.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 9 By JULIA CARVALHO Avenue Writer Whether it's scares or socializing you're after, Gainesville has haunts for ghou]s of all ages. The Gainesville Junior Chamber of Commerce, also known as the Jaycees, is hosting its 10th annual haunted house fundraiser, "Dungeons of Doom," this weekend at the Alachua County Fairgrounds, 2900 NE 39th Ave., and will terminate its spooky stay Monday. Jaycees transformed their clubhouse Tim Hussin / Alligator Statt A model of a man being electrocuted is one of the many attractions in the haunted house at the Alachua County Fairgrounds this weekend. &yCees ok oCals for charity into a haunted spectacle full of creepy, hidden characters and a dark maze with surprises that will have visitors running for their lives. "We have people run, trip, crawl, everything," said haunted house co-chairman Evan King, adding that none of the actors are permitted to touch the people passing through. Visitors must go through several themed rooms including a scream room, a clown room and a dizzying tunnel before arriving at a maze behind the house. The Jaycees-usually spend up to $3,000 on the haunted house but make anywhere from $8,000 to $10,000. King said he expects to break records, raising more money than in previous years. "That's a lot of money to give back to the community," he said. Admission is $5, and all proceeds go to local charities including the Boys & Girls Club and the Reichert House, said Jaycees secretary Kelly Lonesk. For haunt seekers looking for something less frightening and more social, The Swamp Restaurant will host its annual Halloween party Monday starting at 8 p.m. featuring a costume contest with a prize of a $100 tab. "The place will be completely decked out," said manager Christy Vasquez. For those who can't wait until Monday, Rehab, a new dub, is holding its Halloween bash tonight. "Halloween Homecoming Five," hosted by The Dynasty promotion group, will follow a five-year party tradition. According to Rehab promoter Justin Fawcett, The Dynasty has held the party five years in a row -twice at Smon's, once at Palace and last year at 238 West. He said costumes are encouraged. Abbey Road, Ace of Clubs and Ocean Avenue also will have a Thursday night Halloween event with a slightly charitable twist. Promoter Peter Gonzalez said the clubs will donate a percentage of their proceeds to the American Red Cross for hurricane relief. There will also be a costume contest with prizes ranging from $100 to $300. EZ Tennis Stringing -If anybody can string rackets low, EZ Tennis can string them lower. Ready in 24hrs.

10, ALLIGATORETHURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2005 Generation misinterprets the hook up he other day on "Real Time with Bill Maher," I saw Tom Wolfe, one of my favorite authors, joking about our generation's mating habits. The usually right-on author sarcastically pointed out what he called the end of dating and our generation's tendency toward the hook-up. In what feels like a case of 'the old man just doesn't get it,' he contended that kids today don't date, but rather hook up continually and often quasi-anonymously after 7 a night at the bar with a group of friends. Now, I can't argue against the claim that dating is dead. But the idea that all we do is hook up anonymously felt completely inaccurate. -Then I realized what Wolfe missed. We don't date, but we certainly don't all hook up either. Most people have various circles of friends in which we meet new people we might be interested in. Typically, after getting to know a person in a group setting first, we start seeing each other privately. What's hard for the older generation to understand is that our age group doesn't date any longer in the traditional gettingto-know-you sense. Dates now are mostly activities of established couples who can already enjoy each other's company for a significant time period. Time spent on a bad date wastes time that could be spent hanging out with friends. Therefore, we rarely use the date as a social event to meet and better acquaint ourselves with a stranger. In my opinion, our generation is smart for leaving this ineffective social habit in the past. Dating in the traditional sense remains one of the most consistently awkward activities ever invented, second only to the county-issued, Mr. Lube high school locker room Risqu6 Business physical. theaveue@aligator.org To be honest, I don't think I've ever been on a good first date. I've been on memorable first dates, but never good ones. Once, I was with a guy who decided the 24-hour restaurant we were eating in at 2 a.m. smelled bad and had the waitress re-seat us three times. Finally, he concluded the whole place stunk, ordered a milkshake that wasn't on the menu and left without tipping. While this isn't the norm of all dating experiences, I can say my traditional getting-to-know-you dates have never amounted to more than mediocre meals with mediocre people. So I applaud our generation for bunking antiquated tradition, and I endorse our age's standard of soon-to-be couples meeting and getting to know each other in group settings first. Of course, this isn't what Wolfe, or most of the older generation, sees and maybe it's time someone Jaleel White speaks at UF JALEEL, from page 8 watched the young man transform his appearance, voice and mannerisms into the then pre-teen Urkel. Early on, White realized he had both the acting skills and comedic timing to foster a successful career in entertainment. "By the third season of the show I was thinking, 'Damn, I guess I can act,"' 0 White said. tha Although he to spent mich of his childhood on the I sitcom set, White is grateful for the opp'ortunities he enjoyed as a After the success of Family Matters, White was forced to deal with the reality of finding consistent work in an ever-evolving entertainment industry. White wrote several episodes of the show, which ignited his passion to continue writing professionally. Although he is writing and producing, White said he accepts that "Certain generations will know me as my character n 'Family Matters,' bi t's acting. I was grant make a good living a impact my audience. Jaleel White actor child actor. "I had a kick-ass job, traveled to every state and overseas," White said. "If anything, I missed out on the nonsense that goes on in high school." White, a graduate of UCLA film school, agreed to speak at UF because it is a well-respected university. He hopes to offer students honest advice on how to survive in the real world after graduation. "An undergraduate degree won't help you get a job," White said. "If college teaches you one thing, it should be to make things happen when they need to happen because after you graduate, it's a reality check." he will be remembered continually as the lovable nerd next door. White referred to it the overwhelming eful recognition as his "Captain Kirk synnd drome." "Certain generations will know me as my character on 'Family Matters,' but that's acting," White said. "I was grateful to make a good living and impact my audience." One of White's greatest accomplishments is a goal most adults never reach. "Well, I did become a millionaire before I was 15," White said and laughed. "That was pretty cool." Overall, White said he hopes students will come to the event with an open mind and positive attitude. "I want to keep it light and open," he said.

Shack Sha kers to rock Side Bar hick, black-rimed glasses covered his piercing eyes. His red hair was slicked back into a classic pompadour. A pair of yellow mechanic's coveralls clung to his seemingly skeletal frame. Taking the stage at Bonnaroo 2005, Col. JD Wilkes of Th' Legendary Shack Shakers looked like a meek, nerdy 1950s greaser. However, by the end of the show, Wilkes was donning lederhosen, drenched in sweat, howling the blues as if possessed and swinging nunchucks with skill that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Michelangelo would respect. Th' Legendary Shack Shakers have a live reputation that precedes them. Hailing from the heart of country music, Nashville, the Shack Shakers had to fight tooth, nail and nunchuck to take their rightful reign of Nashville's radical country music scene in an area known as the Lower Broadway district. Their scrapping in the clubs paid off and certainly got the band noticed, especially for the crazy stage antics of Wilkes. Wilkes was voted Best Front Man by entertainment magazine Nashville Scene andDead Kennedys vocalist Jello Biafra called Wilkes "the last great rock 'n' roll front man." However engaging your live performance, it means nothing if the music behind it is weak. This is not the case with the Shack Shakers. Their music has been labeled as many things -cowpunk, pyschobilly and even self-proclaimed "junkyard carnival punk" among other outlandish genres. The Shack Shakers blend country, rockabilly and a pinch of punk into a very distinctive, home-brewed style. Guitarist David Lee shifts styles from acoustic, to flat picking to reverb-laden surf licks and back again to hot-rodded rock 'n' roll riffs with ease and without sounding forced. Drummer Pauly Sinmonz and upright bassist Mark Robertson make up a solid rhythm section. Wilkes absolutely shreds the David Low harmonica and Playlist has a voice like a heavenue@alligator.org fiery and eccentric Johnny Cash singing through the filthy dissonance of a harmonica microphone. The Shack Shakers showcased all their skills on their last two releases, 2002's "Cockadoodledon't" and 2004's "Believe." Geico insurance company even featured the Shack Shakers "CB Song" off "Cockadoodledon't" in its commercial featuring the Geico gecko cruising in a convertible and sporting shades. Find out for yourself why the Shack Shakers have the gall to call themselves "Legendary" on Nov. 2 at The Side Bar, 15 SW 2nd St. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 11 MTV2 seeks W~s o ft tWIk sM a II By MARIA LAVERGHETTA Avenue Writer For the first time, The Oaks Mall in Gainesville and Cox Communications are hosting the MTV2 Local VJ competition through Sunday.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2005E ALLIGATOR 13 ith the warm glow of jack-o'-lanterns and the obligatory passing out of free candy comes the pressure to shell out for a good Halloween costume. If you are like me, you've convinced yourself for the first three weeks of October that dressing up isn't worth it. We both know this simply means you haven't thought of anything good. Inevitably, some friend makes you feel guilty and uncreative for not having an elaborate, witty costume planned. They even tell you you're not invited to his party unless you dress up. So, with days left, you have to go big or stay home. The pressure mounts. But it's not too late to salvage yourself from this last-mLinute-costume-born-out-of-socialpressure distress. This year, I am scrambling for brilliance along with you. The following costumes don't require the loss of personal dignity but only a trip to Goodwill or Wal-Mart and the expenditure of no more than $10. The first cheap-costume category: those involving a box or other type of receptacle. All of these will require some paint and wide doorways. Travel back to your childhood and be a LEGO. Cut six cottage cheese containers in half, glue the bottoms to a box, then spraypaint the entire thing the color of your choice. As a holiday preview, you could be a Christmas present. If bows aren't up your alley, you could be dirty laundry. Cut the bottom out of a plastic hamper, tape the edges so as not to cut yourself and fill it with clothes. The hamper should ride on your hips, so at least you will be able to sit. If thoughts of laundry make you cranky, express this by becoming Oscar the Grouch. Cut the bottom out of a plastic trash can, tape the lid to a baseball cap, paint your arms and face green and make eyebrows out of a fake moustache. Diana Jo The next category of Godfrey cheap costumes: those Gdey Be involving either sweats or Cheap Beat leggings as a base. tteavenueeslligtar.org Basically any animal distinguished by a tail, floppy ears, and colored fur can be created with ease. Bunnies always seem to roam around Gainesville in abundance. Puppies, skunks, spiders, all of these can be pulled off with pinned-on extremities and some face paint. Next, look to the fruit kingdom for inspiration. Purple or green balloons and more pins can transform you into a cluster of grapes. You may find it difficult to get close to anyone, but a few people are bound to give you a laugh. With leftover balloons, a friend could round up a huge plastic bag, cut holes for her legs, and become a human bag of jelly beans. Good luck sitting down. Pin socks, undies, shirts and drier sheets on yourself to become static cling personified. Whether you wear a box, a hamper, floppy ears or even a rented generic costume, I wish you much Halloween fun. By DANIELLE LUCEY Avenue Writer One thing is clear when you are talking to Chris from local "pop-punk-horror-Oi!" band The Monistats. He is a very hyper, busy guy. In only a half-hour, he downs a large cup of Maude's coffee, sucks two cigarettes to the filter, fields two calls on his cell phone and sporadically "C stands up and sits back down. For anyone who has ever partic heard a Monistats song, they is a know it's a necessity to have a Chris I drummer with energy. The M The Monistats, all transdru plants from South Florida, specialize in two-minute punk songs that they kill, bury, dig back up and polish off with pop melodies. The band's inner album photo off its summer release "Let's Disinfect!" shows them dressed up as The Molasses Gang, the band's fictitious alter-ego act, dissecting a brain, potentially for food. The band's lead singer and guitarist, Sean, dons a handlebar mustache as bassist Dan and Chris salivate over the odd entr6e. "That's our sense of humor," Chris said. "Let's put it that way." One of Gainesville's premiere horror acts, it seems obvious Halloween is the group's time of year to shrine. The band plans to kick off the holiday with a Saturday "Rocky Horror Picture Show"-themed house party. The band, ha costume, will play covers from the cult classic. The location of the show will be announced on the band's MySpace account, which is accessible through its Web site, themonistats.com. "Crowd participation is a must," rowd said Chris, who is dressing up as Rocky. CipatiOn The Monistats will also must." appear at Midtown on nsincere Monday for its Halloween onsistas Horror Show with Cara onistats del Gato and Baby Dracula. Though the band doesn't plan to continue its Rocky Horror getup for the show, the venue will hold a costume contest. Some upcoming shows will also feature a very different side of The Monistats. The band recently played their first acoustic show, a territory they are a little unfamiliar with. The idea to unplug came out of necessity, Chris said. Between work and a late class schedule, it is becoming harder and harder for the band to find time to load gear, particularly drums, before a show. "We were trying to make our instrumentation the best as possible with what we had to work with," he said. EZ Tennis In terms of Tennis, big stores make EZ Tennis look good.

IPP Amok, A110111011M A111111rIlMll 1111M qMW %J I t P THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27,2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org Kickers, defense will define Georgia game can imagine what those of you heading to Jacksonville this weekend are looking forward to. You and eight or nine of your buddies have pitched in money to stay at the Adam's Mark or the Hilton downtown. You can't wait to get to the Landing, where you'll meet and greet with those lovely ladies from the Peach State. Gentlemen, no more casual babes in Gators' tank tops and khaki shorts for you. No, sir, the girls from Georgia will be decked out in their finest red and black dresses just like they were headed to the prom. With the ESPN Gameday boys there, this is going to be the sweetest weekend of college football all year, right? Well, that may be true -as long as you don't count the actual game between the Gators and the Bulldogs. Don't get me wrong. The tailgating and partying will still be there. However, I think this is going to be one snoozer of a game for most people watchFarzad Safi ing. Far's Side The fans want to see Chris fsafi@alligator.org Leak throwing an 80-yard playaction pass to Chad Jackson or Georgia's Leonard Pope plowing over three Gators' defenders. Sorry, but I doubt you'll see too much of that. The fact is that this is the year of defense in the Southeastern Conference. It's no coincidence that there isn't a single SEC team ranked in the top 30 in total offense in the entire nation. Let's remember that Leak has only thrown one touchdown pass to four interceptions in UF's last three games. Take away Georgia's leading passer and thirdleading rusher in D.J. Shockley, and that pretty much stunts the Bulldogs' offense, too. Where will the points come from on Saturday? The special teams! The Gators' hero just might be none other than walk-on kicker Chris Hetland. Hetland has been the only Gator who has been able to consistently put up points for Urban Meyer, going 8 for 8 in field goals this year. As good as Hetland has been, Georgia's kicker has been just as reliable. Brandon Coutu has nailed 16 field goals so far and is actually the SEC's leading scorer. You may think that kickers aren't real football players, but when teams are evenly matched up, who do you think makes the difference? LSU defeated Auburn last weekend because Auburn's kicker missed five field goals in the game, including a crucial one in overtime. After the Alabama loss, Meyer said, "If they want me to kick field goals, they hired the wrong guy." Well, Coach, that's admirable, but they did hire you to win games, and it looks like Hetland is the best card you've got in your hand right now. E JUNIOR EXPECTS GAME TO BE A DEFENSIVE BATTLE. By LOUIS ANASTASIS Alligator Staff Writer lanastasis@aiigator.org First on crutches, then on a rehabilitating right leg, defensive end Ray McDonald has been watching the Gators closely for the last month. Perhaps too closely. He saw them annihilated at the hands of Alabama's Brodie Croyle. He witnessed the Tigers spoil what should have been UF's five-turnover party. He did try to come back for that game. But just four weeks after partially tearing the ACL in his right knee, it was two plays punched in, the rest of the time spent squirming on the sidelines. Now, with Georgia standing between UF and a last-ditch shot at the Southeastern Conference championAndy Apicella / Alligator Ray McDonald sits out with an injured knee against Louisiana State on Oct. 15. The defensive end said he will be ready for Georgia. ship, McDonald will wait no more. He may not be able to play every snap of the game, but he'll do anything he cadn to impact its outcome. "I've been hurting these past few weeks watching," McDonald said. "I know we're 5-2 .I've felt that I could've helped my team out a lot more. I wanted to help my team out a lot more, but I was hurt. I feel like this has to be my game right here." More than ever, the Gators need McDonald. With UF's offense floundering and Georgia's attack hinging on an arm more familiar with the punt team than the first-string offense, the game likely will be decided by the defense. "Of course, [Georgia's] going to struggle a little bit," McDonald said. "And our offense is kind of struggling, so we've got to play for our offense. It's going to be a great defensive game. I think it will be a real low-scoring game." The Gators lead the SEC with a +13 turnover margin, with Georgia in second place at +9. UF's No. 2 SEC defense can only hope the injured D.J. Shockley won't make a cameo in the game. In Athens, Ga., there is no talk of the possibility of a freak comeback. Still, the Gators don't want to be ambushed by anything at this point. "The bottom line is that we have to get ready for Georgia's offense, and whoever is the quarterback, is the quarterback," co-defensive coordirfator Greg Mattison said. "Some guys obviously bring other things to the table, but we still have to go about it as if he is coming back." Even if the incumbent doesn't play, quarterback Joe Tereshinski III certainly has weapons to work with. And there's the mammoth tight end Leonard Pope. Then there's the conference's most athletic running back tandem: the two-headed monster of Thomas Brown and Danny Ware has combined for 734 rushing yards. "They're some good ones," Coach Urban Meyer said. "They're not necessarily the biggest, but these guys have had some great games in the past, and they're extremely fast." UF's linebacker unit could present problems of its own. Linebacker Brandon Siler will play on a sore left ankle he sprained toward the end of the Louisiana State game. His replacement, freshman Jon Demps, is out for the season. Still, barring some new injury, UF's defense feels it can compensate for any spread offense woes. "We try to put every .game on our back, because we feel like we have the ability to do that," Siler said. "We're just that good." 1. Shockley, UGA 156.0 2. Mitchell, SC 3. Croyle, ALA 4.

2"V ALLIGATOR N THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2005 UF SOCCER Fres of nuy oce trwnsSChnr By SPENCER DAVIS-VANNESS Alligator Writer sdvanness@alIigator.org Imagine what Megan Kerns can do on the field when she's healthy. UF soccer coach Becky Burleigh said on Monday that Kerns is still not fully healed from a torn meniscus suffered in the season opfner and will continue rehabilitation. Despite the lingering injury, Kerns received Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week honors for her performances against Louisiana State and Arkansas during the past weekend. Kerns scored a goal in both matches, claiming the first point of the match against the Tigers and picking up the No. 17 Gators' (12-4-1, 7-2-1 SEC) lone goal against the Razorbacks on a 20-yard free kick. "It's a really great feeling, a great honor," Kerns said. "I'm really surprised to be back this quicldy. The doctors didn't really give me this chance at all." Burleigh praised Kerns' durability and on-the-field abilities. "When she gets to 100 percent and she gets a little more experience, she's going to be someone you guys are going to hear a lot more about," Burleigh said. Kerns is the second UF freshman to earn the award this season. Fellow forward Katie Green picked up the honors for her performances against Kentucky and Vanderbilt earlier this year. HEALTHY GATORS?: For the first time in weeks, the Gators could enter this weekend with a full roster. Kim Klement / Alligator Freshman Megan Kerns might not be fully healed from an early season injury, but she was healthy enough to earn SEC Freshman of the Week honors. Sophomore forward Bianca Gibbs will will be off crutches and back in uniform play this weekend, Burleigh said. Gibbs after spending several weeks out with a suffered a hyperextended'left knee against stress fracture in her left shin. Abdullah Mississippi, which was reaggravated awill dress, but Burleigh said her playing week later against Arkansas. status would be decided later. Freshman forward Ameera Abdulish The biggest question mark might be sophomore defender Ashley Harris, who injured her knee against Louisiana State this past weekend. Harris was scheduled for an MRI Thursday evening, but until the results are in, her status for this weekend remains completely unknown. "I can run on [the knee], but it's just cutting and passing that are a problem," Harris said. "I'll keep doing what I've been doing, just running and passing the ball around, and hopefully I won't feel the injury anymore." FOTOPOULOS RETURNS: Assistant coach Danielle Fotopoulos returned to the team this week after spending several weeks playing on the U.S. Women's National Team. Fotopoulos played in matches against Australia and Mexico alongside fellow former Gators Abby Wambach and Heather Mitts. "It's a blast," she said. "Obviously, getting to go play with old teammates is always great at the highest level in the world." Fotopoulos said she continued to keep up with some of her coaching duties while away by keeping in touch with Burleigh, text messaging with players and recruiting from the road. But for the most part, Fotopoulos said the trip gave her a chance to look at the game of soccer a little differently again. "It gave me a little break from a being a coach and allows me to get back into the players' perspective again," she said.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 11, Gators unfazed by national attention By IAN FISHER Alligator Staff Writer ifisher@alligator.org Even though ESPN GameDay and ESPN2's Cold Pizza are going to be in Jacksonville this weekend for the annual Florida-Georgia game, some of the Gators say it won't really sink in until they arrive at the cocktail party. "You love to have that kind of publicity, but it really slips your mind sometimes," sophomore linebacker Brandon Siler said. "You don't see it until you get there. 'Oh, shoot -GameDay is here.' It finally sets in." Siler said the Gators have bigger things to worry about than the national hype that will be cast upon this game with ESPN in town. "You don't really play for those types of things," Siler said. "We still have our vision on the SEC Championship. We know some things have to happen, but the first thing we have to do is handle our business in Jacksonville." UF linebacker Brandon Siler hits Mississippi State receiver Tee Milions during the Gators' 35-9 win against the Bulldogs on Oct. 8, knocking the ball loose. Although that may not impress Siler, one thing that did impress him last year was how the crowd is split in half. Siler was a freshman and didn't quite know what to expect. "People told me about it on the way over, and I was like, 'What? Half and half?'" Siler said. "I didn't know exactly how that was going to be split, but it's like a perfect line -bam -right down the middle. It's kind of amazing at first; I wonder how they get down that kind." Cold Pizza will air from 8 a.m. to 10 am. Friday, and fans are encouraged to join the crowd in front of Alltel Stadium. INJURY UPDATES: Meyer reiterated Wednesday that he expects Siler (ankle), receiver Jemalle Cornelius (ankle) and defensive end Ray McDonald (knee) to be able to play against Georgia. Meyer said McDonald had a good practice but won't be back to 100 percent on Saturday. "I don't think he's well enough to play a full game, but I think he's going to get in there," Meyer said. Cornelius and McDonald's health improvements instill confidence on both sides of the ball, Meyer said. THIS AND THAT: Representatives from the Peach Bowl will be in attendance Saturday to scout UF and Georgia. The Peach Bowl, scheduled for Dec. 30, is the only bowl that guarantees an Atlantic Coast Conference vs. SEC matchup.

2-4 ALLIGATOR THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2005 UF ASKETBALL U y' By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer dtreat@alligator.org What are your brothers named? Well if you're UF freshman Jinmie Sutton, your brother's name is Jinunie. And Jimnie. And Jimmie again. -Sutton, who shares the same name as his father and all three of his brothers, is commonly referred to as "Fifth." In addition, he has "Fifth" tattooed on his left tricep and "World" on his right, and he sports the number five on his jersey. His brother, Jinuie III, plays defensive back for N.C. State and made a recruiting pitch for the Wolfpack while "Fifth" was in high school. "He tried to get me to come up there and play football," Sutton said. "But I told him I wasn't going to play football, and he also gave me good advice, saying football is a lot harder in college than it is in high school." The sixth of ten children, Sutton came to UF as perhaps the least heralded member of his freshman class. Maybe it's Kim Klement/ Alliga At Madness 2005, Jimmie Sutton holds the ball for his teammate Walter Hodge, setting him up for a slam dunk. cn.tton was cleared to practice this week while recovering from a torn ACL suffered during the spring. because basketball wasn't always his game. In addition to being an All-Broward basketball player at North Broward Prep, he was also All-State in football. "[Basketball] became a big part because I got bigger," Sutton said. "I went from 6-foot-5 to 6-foot-9 real quick, and football wasn't for me anymore." A self-described defense-first player, Sutton left North Broward as the school's all-time leader in both dunks and blocked shots, after averaging 12.5 points and 10.5 rebounds his senior year. He anticipates having a similar function with the Gators. "My role on the team is just going to be defense and whatever Coach [Billy] Donovan gives to me," Sutton said. While Sutton could provide valuable services to a frontcourt lacking depth, before he can develop a role and earn minutes, he's going to have to return from an ACL tear he suffered in April. It's an injury Donovan described as extremely serious. "He had a very, very severe ACL in which he tore part of the bone off his knee cap," Donovan said. "It was probably about as severe as you could have, so it was a total knee reconstruction." Sutton had the knee rescoped four weeks ago because the injury had been slowing him down during fall drills. He participated in his first, albeit limited-contact, practice Tuesday. How much he will develop throughout the course of the season is now largely dependent on how often he is able to practice. "I'm not worried about his work ethic or his attitude or how hard he's going to try," Donovan said. "I'm worried about, like we saw when we started pre-season workouts, him having constant swelling, him practicing one day and having to sit out two, just what type of level of consistency can we get out of him. "I think it's hard to get any consistency out of a freshman that's going to be periodically practicing. I think the biggest thing for him in his growth and development this year would be if we can have him utilize every single day in practice." For his part, Sutton is ready to step up and contribute, due largely in part to the depth issues. "I don't think I'm going to be too limited," Sutton said. "I mean, I'm going to have to step up, because we have trouble on the inside tight now." Ir me r s tbegfin I rivalry weekend early against UGA 17LOCATE IS EXPECTED TO RETURN TO THE POOL. By RACHEL ROBINS Alligator Writer As the football team prepares for its cocktail party this weekend, UF's swim team will hold a premature one today. The UF men's and women's swimming and diving teams will travel to face Southeastern Conference rival Georgia today at 2 p.m. The men's team (2-2, 1-0 SEC) is coming off weekend losses to Texas and California, but Coach Gregg Troy did not dwell on the disappointing meets. "The guys swam well," Troy said. "We just got beat by teams that are better than us at the moment." The men's team was without senior Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte, but Troy expects him to be back in the pool today "I still think Georgia is the best [women's] team in the cOuntry. We have to swim well across the field to beat them." Gregg Troy UF swimming coach While Troy is hoping the Gators can get back to their winning ways against Georgia, he knows the Bulldogs will put up a fight. "Georgia is not as deep as we are," he said. "[But] we always get their best shot." The women's team (3-0, 1-0 SEC) also was missing a key swimmer at its last meet. Sophomore Caroline Burckle battled the flu last weekend and was unable to participate. Troy said she will be ready to go against No. 3 Georgia. Even though the women were short-handed, they were still able to defeat Southern Methodist 125118 on Oct. 20 and capture second place at the Dallas Classic. In a top25 poll released Oct. 20, the College Swimming Coaches Association of America ranked the women's team No. 1 in the nation. But Troy feels that today's opponent should actually be ranked ahead of the Gators. "I still think Georgia is the best [women's] team in the country," Troy said. "We have to swim well across the field to beat them." For More information log onto: www.jiffylubesoutheast.com
