'Family Matters' star does that to crowd
Andrea Morales/ Alligator Staff
Jaleel White, famous for his role as Steve Urkel on the TV show "Family Matters," signs autographs for fans
during his visit to UF on Thursday night at the University Auditorium.
By KIMBERLY GOUZ
Alligator Contributing Writer
Jaleel White fought back
tears when he described his last
season on "Family Matters."
"That was the one year I
didn't believe I was Steve Urkel
when I hit the stage," he said,
visibly shaken.
"I heard a snicker, but it's
cool. I'll let you get away with
that," White then said to one of
more than 800 fans who flocked
to see him.
Cameras flashed and fans
screamed as White walked
into a jam-packed University
Auditorium on Thursday night,
making his first public speak-
ing engagement on a college
campus.
Despite 25 years in the enter-
tainment industry, White re-
membered for his role as uber-
nerd Steve Urkel in "Family
Matters" seemed genuinely
surprised by the turnout.
"Wow," he said smiling.
"Did I do that?"
White, who entertained the
audience with clever anecdotes
from his years on the show and
beyond, said he is currently
pursuing a career in writing.
"I don't have a zest for
the limelight as much as I
have a zest for the work."
Jaleel White
actor
But White hasn't let go of his
roots. He still has big plans for
his acting career.
"I'm ready to raise the ball,"
he said. "One aspect of my ca-
reer that's missing is being able
to go toe-to-toe in a scene with
a guy like Denzel Washington,
or comically, Eddie Murphy,"
White said. "I want to be able to
give guys like them something
to feed off of."
White began doing commer-
cials at age 3, and auditioned
for his first sitcom when he was
8 years old.
The role was for a boy named
Rudy on "The Cosby Show,"

Experts doubted Miers
By GABRIELLA VIGIER
Alligator Contributing Writer
President Bush's acceptance of
Harriet Miers' resignation letter has led
some leaders at UF to question why she
was selected.
Most are not surprised by the res-
ignation, since Miers received criticism
from both political parties.
"She wasn't winning anyone over,"
said Juan E Perea, professor of law at
Levin College of Law. "She didn't seem
to lessen people's skepticism."
Miers' resignation was also tied to
the political image of the president.
Perea said it would have been al-
most impossible for her to continue in
her nomination and damaging for the
president to continue to support her.
"I think it would have been a bruising
political fight for the president," he said.

Miers' resignation came after con-
gressional members from both par-
ties could not find documents from
her role as counsel to the president,-
leaving many unclear of her judicial
philosophy.
Democrats accused the president of
being a radical right-winger for nomi-
nating her, whereas the Republicans
questioned her purity to the party.
Even if Miers obtained the Supreme
Court position, it would have been after
much political mud-slinging and dam-
age of public images, Perea said.
Brendan Moore, econopolitical chair
of the UF College Democrats, said the
resignation reflected on President Bush.
"Harriet Miers' resignation is a sign
of a very weak president who does
not have the political capital to get his

Wal-Mart memo draws ire
By ALEXIS LLOYD
Alligator Writer
As Wal-Mart officials plan to set their roots
in East Gainesville soil, an internal memo to
the company's Board of Directors surfaced
Wednesday, creating a stir.
The memo, from M. Susan Chambers,
Wal-Mart's executive vice president for ben-
efits, proposed ways to keep down healthcare
costs and other benefits while sustaining min-
imal damage to the company's reputation.
The memo included such proposals as hir-
ing more part-time workers and discouraging
unhealthy applicants from being hired. She
suggested dissuading unhealthy applicants
by having all employees participate in some
form of physical activity, such as gathering
carts.
* From weather
to costume trends
to campus haunts,

ebrate Halloween

Alligator's special
Halloween section,
pg. 3.
Chambers also recommended reducing
retirement plan contributions and offering
education benefits, which, she wrote, may
bring healthier and younger workers to Wal-
Mart.
"This was just a working memo of what
was currently going on within the organiza-
tion," said Eric Brewer,
Around Wal-Mart community af-
GaIneSVille fairs manager for Florida.
"The company has to
look at all areas, and this is simply what the
memo was for. At the end of the day, benefits
were improved for all Wal-Mart employees,
including myself."
Although some have praised this recent
development, it has also received criticism

The disease can be spread by
sharing a bathroom or sexual
relations with a carrier, Barkley
said. The SHCC can provide these
"dose contacts" with preventive
medication.
Hepatitis A is almost never fa-
tal, Barkley said, and 30 percent of
the population has contracted it at
some point.
He added that the three stu-
dents, whose names are being
withheld for privacy, are "doing
very well."

Students get Hepatitis A
Two Gators and a visitor from
UCF have contracted hepatitis A,
prompting university officials to
suspect the illness was transmit-
ted on the UF campus.
Director Phil Barkley of the
Student Health Care Center said
it is too early to tell where the
disease originated, but students,
faculty and staff should be wary.
"If people are having any
symptoms that would be sugges-
tive of Hepatitis A, don't ignore
them," he said.
The disease affects the liver,
and symptoms include fever,
nausea, decreased appetite and

Halloween weekend expected to be mild
Police expect regular revelry
* COOL WEATHER A BRIEF
RESULT OF TWO SYSTEMS.
By CHRISTINA CHAMBERS
Alligator Contributing Writer
Cooler weather has come and
almost gone, teasing Gainesville
with the prospect of winter, but at
least one Halloween faithful said
she is grateful for the warmer tem-
peratures when it comes to being
able to have racier costumes.
Amy Marin, a geology major,
said she is glad it will not be as
cold on Halloween because she is
"sticking to the traditional female
Halloween costume of few clothes,
lots of makeup and pizzazz."
She said she plans to dress as a
"scantily clad absinthe fairy," but
also lamented not having an excuse
to stay home in her warm bed.
"I guess I will be going to class
on Monday," she said. "Rats."
David Marsh, chief meteo-
role ;ist for local television station
WE'. I, said since it is the end of
Octo r, the change in weather
should come as no surprise. With
the combination of Hurricane
Wilma passing through Florida
and a large high-pressure system
in the Midwest, there was no doubt
temperatures in Gainesville would
drop.
Hurricanes suck in warm, hu-
mid air and expel cool, dry air into
the upper atmosphere. High-pres-
sure systems tend to result in the
air nearby sinking, which brought
cool, dry days to the area.
Marsh, who has been covering
Central Florida weather for 33
years, said warmer temperatures
will return this weekend. Daytime
highs should rise to within the high
70s; at night, it will fluctuate in
the 50s, according to the National
Weather Service Web site.
Meteorologist for the National
Weather Service in Jacksonville
Matt Zibura said temperatures are
returning to "near-normal levels
for this time of year."
The average temperature
Thursday was a high of 79 degrees
and a low of 56 degrees, he said.
Gainesville usually starts to
experience consistently colder tem-
peratures in December, he said.
However, he added that
Floridians can always expect warm
spells throughout the winter.

Gainesville Police anticipate
crime will not increase much-due to
this weekend's spooky festivities.
However, this month has seen 11
cases of criminal mischief so far, eight
more than the same time last year.
GPD spokesman Sgt. Keith Kameg
said he doesn't expect any crime out
of the ordinary this weekend.
'"We don't really get a lot of inci-
dents during Halloween weekend,"
Kameg said. "I don't think that par-
ties are going to be an issue."
Criminal mischief is. a misde-
meanor that includes egging and
noise violations.
However, some students plan to
throw large Halloween parties.
UF entomology major Ryan
Welch, 23, said he's having a party
tonight starting at 10 p.m.
"What else is there to do on
Halloween- other than get dressed
up, get drunk and take off my room-
mate's pants?" Welch said.
For UF political science major
Kevin Lewis, partying is about par-
tying responsibly.
Lewis, 21, said his party is going
to be the biggest in Gainesville.
"We have a bouncer because
we know .that police are, cracking
down on underage drinkers," Lewis
said. "We are giving a bottle of Grey
Goose Vodka to the person with the
best costume."
For some stu-
dents, activities
might not be as
crazy as Welch's
or Lewis' parties,
but good times
are still on the
itinerary;
Kameg UF civil en-
gineering major
Anna Rodriguez, 18, said she is
unsure what her plans will be.
"I'm contemplating whether
I should stay in town or go to
1Mfiami because of the hurricane,"
Rodriguez said. "I'm going to party
and have a good time either way."
UF telecommunications major
Marcus Thomas, 22, said he's going
to the game to have a wicked time:
"I'm going to party like a rock
star," he said.
Girls go bare; guys get pimped

By ANTONIO GONZALEZ
Alligator Contributing Writer
With Halloween coming up and many
events around town already under way, UF
students maybe too old to trick-or-treat, but
donning costumes remains popular.
Nina's Costumes, 1636 W University
Ave., has been swamped with students this
week, said sales associate Alexis Philpott.
"Girls want them short real short,"
Philpott said. "And guys want to be flashy
and showy."
She said the most popular costumes
for women this year have been Alice and
the Queen of Hearts from "Alice and
Wonderland." Guys prefer pimp and gang-
ster outfits.
Jerry Ford, owner and founder of Nina's,
has seen costumes come and go for the past
33 years. In the '70s and '80s, men wanted
hot pants, disco and hippie costumes, and
women dressed as Marilyn Monroe, he said.
Now women want to show a lot of skin
while character costumes are more popular
with men.
Philpott said the normal price of a cos-
tume is between $30 and $50. The most
expensive costume in the store is a $100
mermaid outfit.
Center Stage Costumes and Magic, 2706
SW 34th St., was flooded with customers
Thursday afternoon. Shoppers tended to-
ward more extravagant costumes, assistant
manager John Albritton said.
Student "People have gotten really
Life creative this year," he said.
Pirate costumes for men
have sold out, and women are buying up
all-the Lake Avenue outfits, a line of sexy
costumes, he said.
"Alice in Wonderland" costumes are also
a favorite -at Center Stage. Sales associates
at the store had no explanation as to the
costumes' popularity resurgence except
that many women find them cute and sexy.
The top sale at Center Stage this year was an
$800 "Star Wars" Stormtrooper costume.
- All three store representatives said
they expect sales to pick up this weekend
because students tend to wait until the last
minute to buy outfits.
Legends of noisy ghoul, suicide haunt university residence halls
* OLD COOK, TOM PETTY
SONG INSPIRED STORIES.
By ANNA SUGGS
Alligator Contributing Writer
Rumors about an impossible
suicide and a disgruntled cook con-
tinue to haunt UF residence life.
Two prevalent ghost stories exist
at UF, Housing Department spokes-
woman Sharon Blansett said.
The first involves a UF student in
the 1970s who allegedly committed
suicide by jumping from her dorm
room window in Beatv Towers.
The towers are located next to 13th
Street, also called U.S. Highway 441,
she said. Many believe this story be-
cause of the song "American Girl"
by Gainesville native Tom Petty,
which is about a young girl killing
herself by jumping from a balcony
"out on 441."
Blansett said there are no records
of any girl jumping from Beaty
Towers, and there are no balconies.
Nick Huber, an 18-year-old
digital arts and sciences major, said
he has heard of the myth. in Beaty
Towers, but the possibility of a girl
jumping from the towers is slim be-
cause the windows are sealed shut.
When asked about ghosts in UF
residence halls, Blansett laughed.
"I think that when it gets to this
time of year, people seem to seek out
Halloween-related thrills," she said.
"There is a thrill in being scared and
making up these kinds of stories."
The second ghost story involves
strange noises in Thomas Hall, one
of the oldest buildings on campus.
Residents claim to hear banging
coming from the heating system
when it's not being used.
Blansett said according to UF
folklore, the noises are caused by the
"There is a thrill in being
scared and making up
these kinds of stories."
Sharon Blansett
Housing spokeswoman
ghost of Old Steve, the head cook on
campus in 1906.
Old Steve was disruptive in his
lunch preparations, according to
"A History of UF Residence Halls."
Shouting, cursing, the banging of
pots and pans, the hissing of steam
and the crackling of fire were famil-
iar sounds of Old Steve.
Blansett said there .is no big mys-
tery to the noises heard now. It isjust
an old heating system.
Andrew Nichols, executive
director of the American Institute
of Parapsychology and chairman
of the mental health department at
City College Gainesville Campus,
.said the UF ghost stories are very
entertaining myths, but there is a
big difference between folklore and
actual ghost activity.
Ghosts are just projections from
people's minds, he said, created by
the unconscious mind as a result of
trauma, fear or conflict.

Fee raises proposed
* HEALTH FEE ALONE ASKED
TO RISE 78 CENTS PER HOUR.
By LYNDSEY LEWIS
Alligator Writer
Ilewis@alligator.org
UF students could be seeing a
Health Fee cost increase of up to 78
cents per credit hour by Fall 2006,
if the university's Fee Committee
votes to accept.proposals by Student
Health Care Center representatives.
At Thursday's meeting of the
Fee Committee, SHCC Director Phil
Barkley requested that UF's general
medical services be allocated a raise
of 67 cents per credit hour, while UF
Counseling Center Director Jackie
Resnick proposed an 11-cent increase.
Students already pay a Health
Fee of $8.44 per credit hour. The fee
goes toward facilities and services in
all SHCC departments.
However, the Counseling Center
is supported primarily by Education
and General subsidies, while SHCC's
main medical sector operates solely
on funding from student fees.
Barkley said SHCC needs the fee
increase to maintain its programs.
"We are going to do things that
are extraordinary at the University of
Florida, and that may include mak-
ing service cuts," he said.
However, committee chairman
Dave Kratzer emphasized that fund-
ing is already tight and that Florida
statutes cap all student-fee increases
at 95 cents per year.
"We are not going to have enough
money to cover all [health costs] this
year," he said. "We already have the
highest health fee in the [state uni-
versity system]."
The 95-cent per-credit-hour maxi-
mum increase is divided between
Activity & Service, Health and
Athletic fees. So far, the committee
has heard a proposal to hike A&S fees
by 84 cents, Student Senate President
John Boyles said. Students pay an
A&SFee of $8.64 per credit hour.

GRE gets makeover
By JESSICA RIFFEL
Alligator Writer "We think it is unfair for
jriffel@alligator.org students to have to suf-
Some graduate school ad-
missions exams, including the
Graduate Record Examination,
will change next year to better
predict graduate-level success.
The GRE, required for ad-
mission to many graduate pro-
grams, will change Oct. 1, 2006.
The new test is four hours
long, up from two-and-a-half
hours, with changes in the ver-
bal and math sections.
S"This is perhaps the larg-
est change the GRE has gone
through in its 55-year history,"
said Ben Baron, vice president
of graduate programs at Kaplan
Test Prep and Admissions.
Liz Wands, director of gradu-
ate marketing for The Princeton
Review, said the Review op-
poses the changes made by the
Educational Testing Service,
makers of the GRE and other
admissions exams.
"We think it is unfair for stu-
fer through a test that is
60 percent longer so
that ETS can save a few
bucks."

The Princeton Review
dents to have to suffer through a
test that is 60 percent longer so
that ETS can save a few bucks,"
she said.
She also expressed concern
that students will not be allowed
to use their own calculators,
adding that the on-screen calcu-
lator isn't adequate.
ETS spokesman Tom Ewing
said the changes were made
after the GRE's advisory board
of graduate-level deans and
educators requested the exam
test more reasoning skills.
"They wanted the exam to
for 2006
reflect more real-life skills," he
said. "They've been wanting to
revamp the GRE for years."
In the verbal portion of the
exam, the antonym and anal-
ogy sections will be eliminated.
Instead, students will be asked
to read a passage and choose the
best summary.
In the math section, there will
be fewer geometry questions
and more data interpretation
questions using graphs, charts
and tables.
The exam will be offered only

FACULTY
UF professor becomes president of journalism society
By BOBBY KEITH
Alligator Contributing Writer
UF's newest president took office
last week.
But David Carlson still has the
same office, teaches at the same col-'
lege and wears the same safari hat.
Earlier this month, the UF
journalism professor took the
reins as president of the Society of
Professional Journalists.
Though Carlson's office is
adorned with nametags from doz-
ens of previous positions he's held,
they all pale in comparison to this
one, he said.
"I consider this'accomplishment
my No. 1 in my career," Carlson
said.
SPJ is a national organization of
journalists, both student and profes-
sional, that exists to promote the im-
portance of a free press in the United
States, Carlson said.
The Qrganization promotes jour-
nalism ethics, diversity, professional
development and advocates First
Amendment rights regarding free-
dom of speech.
During his one-year term as
president, Carlson will have respon-
sibilities that stretch beyond campus
and state boundaries.
He'll have his hand in nearly
everything the society is involved
in, from giving press seminars to
lobbying Congress for journalist-
friendly laws. '
"It's a big job," he said.
It's a position that not only re-
quires dedication, but quite a bit of
traveling as well.
In the next two weeks, he will at-
. tend functionsin Orlando, Fort Worth,
Texas, and Seoul, South Korea.
Carlson, the first professor to be
elected SPJ president, noted that his
newfound responsibilities differ from
many typical figurehead positions
held by other pro-
fessionals, who
"just occasionally
make speeches,"
he said:
The amount of
time Carlson had
e n to devote to his
carison SPJ responsibili-
ties forced him to
teach fewer classes this semester, he
said. About 12 hours of his day are
dedicated to SPJ in addition to being
a working professor.
But it's time well spent, he add-
ed, noting he stronglybelieves in the
principles the society promotes.
"SPJ is out there every day on
the front lines working to protect all
journalists," Carlson said. "Not just
its members, but all journalists."
One topic SPJ is focusing on is
federal protection for reporters,
which has become a question of
debate in recent months, most no-
tably in the case of New York Times
reporter Judith Miller.
Miller was recently jailed for not
revealing her sources to a federal
grand jury. In turn, she was sent to
prison for 85 days.
Different states have different
laws regarding journalists and
anonymous sources.
SPJ advocates a federal "shield
law," which would protect journal-
ists who use confidential sources.
Miller's refusal to reveal her
source earned her an award from
SPJ, which drew criticism from both
journalists and non-journalists alike,
Carlson said.
But, he added, she also gave the
society another reason to lobby for
legislation that prevents such a thing
from happening again.
"I will be very active in repre-
senting a journalist's interests in
this area, especially dealing with the
federal shield law," he said.
An ideal federal shield law
would help define a journalist's
privileges to information and also
more clearly define what a journalist
is for example, whether a Weblog
author is protected.
Although it's unlikely, SPJ hopes
the law will define a journalist as
broadly as possible, Carlson said.
The debate about this issue may
even lead him to speak in front of
the U.S. Congress, he said.
"Journalism is always based on
facts," he said. "So, I don't think a
blogger will ever make it."
Former child star to UF fans: 'I don't have a zest for the limelight'
WHITE, from page 1
and he was told the role was practically
guaranteed to him.
But at the last minute, Bill Cosby de-
cided Rudy should be a girl in the sitcom.
"That's why she has a boy's name!"
White said.
But White didn't give up there. By the
time he was in seventh grade, he was
ready to transition into the role which
gained him international recognition:
Steve Urkel.
He said his braces and height made him
feel awkward, and he was about ready to
give up when the role came along.
"When I auditioned for 'Family
Matters,' for the first time in my career I
dressed up for the character," White said.
Although White's appearance on
"Family Matters" was, originally planned
as a guest appearance, it was not long be-
fore he earned a full-time spot.
"I got into the role," said White, who
admits to watching episodes
On of "Seinfeld," "The Cosby
':a n---. Show" and "Gilligan's Island"
to get moves for his character.
White said his favorite episodes in-
cluded the one with Bruce Lee and the one
with the pie fight with the .whole family.
"The pies felt like bullets," White said.
He may have made his first million at 15
and stayed at the entire top floor of the Trump
Tower when he visited New York City, but
White said he's "just keeping' it real."
While some may have expected him to
end up on the reality show, "The Surreal
Life" on VH1, White said he doesn't want
to be on the show.
"I don't have a zest for the limelight
as much as I have a zest for the work,"
he said.
Healthier and younger employees hired to keep company healthcare costs low
WAL-MART, from page 1
since full-time employees, who earn about $17,500 annu-
ally, could possibly face out-of-pocket expenses of $2,560
a year more than 15 percent of their incomes.
"Wal-Mart has a long history of manipulating social
infrastructure," said David O'Gorman, SFCC economics
professor. "The enormous benefit to a community and the
consumer is pretty suspect."
In a statement released Wednesday by Wal-Mart
Corporate Communications, officials stated, "we're fortu-
nate that we offer pretty good benefits to begin with as
good as our competitors and, in many cases, better."
However, with every business in America facing the
"harsh reality of skyrocketing healthcare costs," Wal-Mart
officials are being faced with one question in their board-
rooms: "How do we balance genuine desire to provide the
best benefits to employees,, while remaining competitive
in the global economy?"
The company announced a new plan Monday that
sought to increase participation in healthcare benefits
by allowing some of its employees to pay $11 a month in
premiums included in their regular plan.
The statement also indicated Wal-Mart will improve
access to medical care by providing in-store clinics to
keep down emergency room expenses, among other ac-
tions.
All of these initiatives are ways that Wal-Mart officials
are trying to improve benefits for their employees and
become leaders and drivers of change.
"There's a movement that is anti-Wal-Mart and big-
box stores," said Gainesville City Commissioner Jack
Donovan. "This is largely because [big businesses] come
from outside a community."
Wal-Mart can become competition-free, Donovan said.
"I have been following that literature as close as I can,"
he said. "For every one job available at a big business,-the
local community loses more than 1.5 jobs."
However, Donovan -said that in the long run, "what
might not be so great for the whole city might actually
benefit East Gainesville."

6, ALLIGATOR N FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2005
The Editorial Board is more scared of insane political lead-
ers this week than any of the mythical beasts associated with
Halloween.
Nuclear weapons and righteous religious conservatives
chill us more than any half-assed attempt at a Jason or Freddy
costume.
Harriet Miers' withdrawal from her Supreme Court nomi-
nation comforts us a little, yet we shudder to think of Bush's
next nomination.
But we're glad to have a weekend ahead of us that will be
full of lame costume parties, rotting pumpkins and orange
punch. In fact, we think UF should cancel school Monday to
make up for not canceling class when Hurricane Wilma hit
Florida.
That way, we can getback to our roots and go trick-or-treat-
ing in poorly constructed ghost costumes. UF President Bernie
Machen's house is first on our list.
So punch two holes in your best sheets, pick up a large pil-
lowcase and follow us on a quest for Sixlets and Tootsie Rolls
in this weeks' edition of...
Darts & Laurels
Starting our walk at the president's house, we bestow a
lights-and-air-conditioning-are-for-pussies-anyway LAUREL
on Machen for pledging Wednesday to reduce waste disposal
on campus.
On-Campus Sustainability Day, Machen announced his
plans to get rid of all the university's waste by 2015. We ap-
plaud the goal, but Machen has to do much more than talk to
complete the plan.
His speech was overly vague. He said UF will increase
incentives for employees who carpool, but he didn't specify
what those incentives would be. He said that excess lights in
campus buildings are already dimmed but didn't say how
much energy that saves. And he only said UF would try to set
heating and cooling systems at optimum efficiency.
We support the idea, but we want specifics.
But such proclamations at least show our university is on,
a.positive track.
A college in Pittsburgh scares us with the possibility that
anything students write outside the classroom could get them
expelled.
-We shoot a just-because-someone-is-an-asshole-is-no-rea-
son-to-disregard-the-First-Amendment DART at Duquesne
University for threatening to expel sophomore Ryan Miner
because he used the word "subhuman" when describing ho-
mosexuals on Facebook.com.
We immediately dislike Miner, but expelling him for his
comments on a Web site unaffiliated with the school is seri-
ously overstepping students' rights. His comment, though
despicable, is not criminal.
In some situations, however, people must take responsibil-
ity for their words. Especially when that someone is the leader
of Iran.
We throw a when-you're-the-president-of-an-unpopular-
country-don't-make-death-threats DART at Iranian president
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for calling for Israel to be "wiped off
the map."
The comment has angered every Western nation and
proves that Iran's regime is completely nuts. He called for
Palestinians to destroy Israel, but some intelligently distanced
themselves-from the madman by rejecting his remarks.
Iran has been defending the purpose of its nuclear pro-
gram, claiming that it is for peaceful power generation.
We now seriously-doubt that remark. Our world has just
gotten a little bit more frightening.

Opinions
UF administrators
If you're like most Alligator readers, you probably paid
little attention to the all-too-brief soap opera we ran in
these pages involving UF instructor Charles Grapski's
lawsuit against university President.Bernie Machen.
Guy doesn't like Florida Blue Key. Machen refuses to
help guy. Guy sues Machen. Alligator covers the crap out
of it because it's anti-FBK nothing new, right?
Unfortunately, Machen and the UF administration are
banking on sentiments such as that.
What may have seemed to be one disgruntled em-
ployee's battle against an old boys club in reality had the
potential to strike a serious blow to the administration's
flippant attitude toward the law.
The issue at stake here is the public's right to have
access to its government. UF, to put it simply, doesn't be-
lieve it is a public institution except for when it's time
for those checks from the state government to come in.
Grapski sued Machen because Machen refused to
hand over e-mails connected to FBK.
This might not seem strange to you. Who wants to
give up his private e-mail?
But in this case, we aren't talking about Machen's pri-
vate e-mail. As a public official; all e-mail he sends in his
official capacity as president including those related to
FBK are public records.
Check Title X, Chapter 119 of the Florida statutes,
available online at leg.state.fl.us/statutes, if you want
to confirm any of these details. You'll find, among other
things, that electronic communication is covered under
public-records law and that public officials are required
to maintain those records.
If you haven't caught on yet, let me spell it out for
you: .Machen broke the law when he deleted- those e-
mails, and he broke the law again when he refused to
give them to Grapski.
But no court precedent has been established regarding
e-mail. While e-mails undoubtedly will be placed in the
ALLIGATOR
www.alligator.org/opinions
disrespect the law
same public-records category as
letters, voicemail and other forms
of correspondence, the right court
case hasn't arrived to prove this.
This could have been that case.
Instead, a sympathetic judge
Matt Sanchez threw out the case based on a
In Moderation technicality: The suit implied
msanchez@alligator.org that Grapski received no records
from Machen. In fact, Grapski
did receive some though they
weren't the ones he wanted.
Grapski will be allowed to clarify his statements and
re-file the lawsuit, and hopefully he will do so.
As UF students, we can't afford to be in the dark about
the actions of the administrators who run, our school.
Machen's denial of Grapski's request wasn't the first
time the administration flaunted its disrespect for the
law, nor will it be the last.
UF administrators have denied countless legal re-
quests for public records, kept secret or denied student
access to legally open meetings, and allowed Student
Government to do the same.
Maybe you couldn't care less about the FBK situa-
tion.
Heck, I couldn't care less about the FBK situation. I
think SG could find better ways to spend our money,
but I also think Gator Growl is an event intended for all
students, and thus should be eligible for student funds
regardless of who is running it.
But this is bigger than this one incident.
If administrators believe they are above public-re-
cords law and worse, if it .turns out they are because
no one is willing to challenge them what could they
get away with next?

UF's automotive blackmail demands student demonstration
In the history of audacious
frauds perpetrated upon
unsuspecting citizens of the
world, perhaps none is more
daring, more blatant and more
contemptuous of its victims than
the current scheme of automotive
blackmail in place at this univer-
sity.
With a guaranteed number of
students attending classes every
day and a woefully inefficient
citywide transportation system,
our upstanding alma mater is
faced with a glaring problem:
the incredibly deficient number
of parking spaces in relation to
students.
One would think the reason-
able answer to such a dilemma
would be to finance and construct
a series of parking garages or lots
free of charge to students since
they are already compelled to
pay for this university's courses.
However, UF, in all its wisdom,
has decided upon a radically dif-
ferent course of action.
Instead of attempting to al-
leviate the problem, or even de-
prioritizing parking infractions, it
has chosen to implement a deliber-
ately confusing system of parking
sections to the effect that, even
when students pay more than $100
of their hard-earned blood, sweat
and tears, they are still unable to
park anywhere on campus.
Evidently, the right to park is
hot universal, resulting in nothing
but mind-numbing yet ineffectual
frustration on the part of students
and increased revenue for this al-
ready bloated institution of greed.
This legalized system of extor-
tion ranks among the most bril-
liant frauds ever practiced upon
the public. Not only are students
denied the option simply not to
come since they pay for classes,
the arm-wrenching is approved
by the very institution we are
meant to praise and look to for
guidance in times of need.
Yet the university pulls a feat
similar to the emperor's new
clothes, hoping that by shining
light on the problem, everyone
will be blinded or simply avoid
looking at the glare.
And sadly enough, this
stratagem has been marvelously
efficient for the most part. The
Benjamin studentbody
Abdulnour hasn't held a
Speaking Out mass dem-
onstration
declaring
opposition to such a tortuously
coercive parking plan. Student
Government has not really dis-
cussed actual solutions to this
problem. And without some sort of
organized form of dissent, the uni-
versity will undoubtedly continue
on its illicit path of financial terror:
financing its expenditures through
the piecemeal extortionL from each
student as he parks for class.
In the words of another brilliant
mind who opposed similar black-
mail, we must "join or die." In the
absence of unified revolt, albeit
through peaceful means, the only
concessions we will ever see are
more garages like the Reitz Union,
which not only fails to compensate
for the influx of new students but
also charges a daily fee.
This ridiculous parking policy
cannot be allowed to survive.
Strike it down now without re-
straint, or risk extortion for time
eternal. As Churchill said, "It is
not the actions of bad men which
condemn us. It is the inaction of
good men standing by."
Without organized rebellion,
this legalized criminal procedure
will continue. For the sake of otir
self-respect, if not our wallets, let
us join together in opposition to
such tyrannous actions.
Benjamin Abdulnour is a philoso-
phy and political science senior.
Letters to the Editor
Student Government should conduct an
audit to show where student money goes
I read with interest your recent edito-
rial about support for the Reitz Union from
Student Government and the underwriting of
costs of the Phillips Center for student tickets.
In 1982 and 1983, I was the chairman of
the Board of Managers of the Reitz Union and
student body treasurer; I was also the night
manager of the Orange and Brew.
During my years in SG, including the
Senate and SG Cabinet, we spent a lot of time
fighting with the administration over the use
of student money.
Some money was well spent; some was
wasted.
The only suggestion I can make is to con-
duct an audit of the SG budget like
first time in 1983.
We had this published in tl
so that the students would have

It seemed to work.

Girls take rugby to prom for charity
Decked out in frilly dresses, the UF Women's Rugby Club
competes in its annual Rugby Prom game Thursday.
* THE UF WOMEN'S RUGBY
CLUB RAISED $200 FOR A CAN-
CER-SUPPORT PROGRAM.
By DIANA MAZZELLA
Alligator Writer
dmazzella@alligator.org
The women wore cleats and knee-
high socks with dresses that were
purple and sparkly, pink with bows
and patterned with bright florals.
The UF Women's Rugby club
played its fifth annual prom scrim-
mage Thursday night at the University
Village South Field, with 70 people
watching the women tatter and dirty
their prom dresses for charity.
The players said they wore dress-
es purchased from thrift stores.
UF athletic trainer Mark Sutherlini,
who was assigned to watch the
match, said it was his first time
watching Rugby Prom.
He said the most eye-catching
dress was the one he described as a
"metallic purple" which had a ruffle
at the waist.
Freshman Jamie Arjona said she
paid about $5 for her blue floor-
length dress at a local thrift store.
"I know. It's a stunner," she said.
She did not play because of an
injury but still wore her dress with
crutches and watched the team play.
"It's outrageous, and I think
people really enjoy watching
it. You're waiting to hear the
dresses rip. That's the hilari-
ous part of it."
Abby Herstich
Rugby Club vice president
She said she thought one of the
more creative dresses was a pink
dress cut unevenly above the knees
with three rosettes in the back and a
duct-tape belt.
Another was the long purple dress
with puffed sleeves, she said.
As the game progressed, some
players added a T-shirt to their en-
sembles; others played in only part
of the dress. One player was wearing
a bodice without the skirt, showing
her shorts.
Sophomore Devin Huber said
the game is fun and helps the team
bond.
Club Vice President Abby
Herstich said she thought attendees
want to see the irony of women play-
ing a sport that many people think
makes them more masculine while
wearing dresses.
"It's outrageous, and I think
people really enjoy watching it,"
Herstich said. "You're waiting to
hear the dresses rip. That's the hilari-
ous part of it."
Club Treasurer Allison Fischman
said donations at the event totaled
about $200 for the SUNNA Cancer
Support Program for Women, a part of
UF Women's Health Research Center.
"This is my favorite game of the
semester," she said.
Women's Rugby Head Coach
Kerri O'Malley said this is one of
the team's annual charities. A cancer
group was chosen because a former
player's mother had died of breast
cancer.
Students and faculty express surprise that Court nominee was proposed at all
MIERS, from page 1
nominee confirmed to the Supreme Court,"
he said. "I think this sends a clear signal to the
president that his next nominee should not be
a crony."
Moore, 21, said this is just another example
of the president's inability to choose qualified
individuals for important positions.
"The Bush administration often appoints
unqualified cronies, like former FEMA
Director Michael Brown, to important posi-
tions," he said. "I think this is just another
example of the larger culture of cronyism that
exists in the Bush White House."
Perea, however, said he believes Miers
could have made a plausible Supreme Court
justice.
"In my personal opinion, she was certainly
qualified by virtue of education and experi-
ence," he said. "However, her qualifications
were different from many other nominees'."
He mentioned that the late William H.
Rehnquist had not served as a judge before
becoming chief justice of the Supreme Court,
and he finds it interesting that prerequisites
for a seat on the court seem to have changed
in recent years.
Perea also added the Constitution doesn't
actually have a set of requirements when it
comes choosing a judge, but he believes the
Senate does not press hard enough when it
comes to questions on nominees' beliefs.
"I continue to be disappointed that the
Senate doesn't press on that," he said. "The
public has a right to know."
A nominee's beliefs are the main way the
public can determine how he or she will rule
on different national issues, he said.
Tommy Jardon, 21, an economics major
and a member of College Republicans, said
he believes the Democrats will criticize any
nominee the president chooses.
"I think they'll get off it pretty quick and
redirect their cannons at the coming indict-
ments and whoever the new nominee is,"
he said.
He also said he believes Miers will be re-
placed within several days.
"I give until tomorrow. Monday at the ab-
solute latest," he said.
Perea also made a prediction.
"My prediction is the president will choose
someone safe, like Roberts," he said.
Perea also added that he believed Roberts
was actually a good choice.
"He's as good as the Democrats will get
from a conservative president."

KICKOFF: Saturday 3:30 p.m.
TV/RADIO: CBS/WRUF AM850
You know that old saying (or
at least half of it) that you can fool
some people sometimes?
In honor of the upcoming Florida-
Georgia bash, I sought out the most
infamous Georgian of them all, one
who fooled an entire nut-loving red
state.
Remember Jimmy Carter? Of
course you don't, you uneducated
child of the 21st century.
Well he's a former U.S. president,
born and former peanut farmer.
Apparently, Carter's too im-
portant, or too old, to talk to the
Alligator. So instead, I sought out
John Steedman, owner of the North
Georgia Pecan Co., "home of the
wise crack," in beautiful downtown
Athens.
I couldn't lie to a pecan man, so
I told Steedman that he was indeed
my second nutty choice for this
week's picks column. In return, he
informed me that Georgia is, in fact,
a red state, and they're not too fond
of old J.C. these days.
"He's a bleeding h a rt liber il, out
of favor with us," said the 59-year-
old former UGA student. "Since
then, I think he's gotten even more
liberal. He never met a dictator he
didn't like."
Steedman turned out to be a
solid picker of the week, because
his granddaddy, John Cox, played
on the 1909 Bulldogs team, and he
works next door to the corporate of-
fice of Widespread Panic.
Steedman's heart lies with the
red and black, and he vividly re-
calls the 1980 Sugar Bowl game that
landed the Bulldogs their only na-
tional championship. Evidently, this
took place just weeks before Carter
was ousted from the White House,

Since his arrival, Coach Urban
Meyer has maintained that he has
no offensive system.
Lately, it seems the Gators have
been trying to prove him correct.
Trying to grasp the same spread
option offense Meyer succeeded
with at Utah and Bowling Green,
UF has exactly one sustained
touchdown drive against ranked
opponents this season.
Now, Meyer says it's time for
his coaching staff to adapt UF's
offense to its playmakers, just like
he promised since his first days in
Gainesville.
"The job of a coach is to adapt
a so-called system. I've always
said there isn't a system," Meyer
said. "The system has to adapt to
the personnel, and I don't believe
we've done a great job at that.
"You can't just say, 'Here's the
offense. Now, go get it.' Because at
some point it's going to fail."
Against Louisiana State on Oct.
15, the offense managed -just 206
total yards, including a 107-yard,
ll-for-30 performance from quar-
terback Chris Leak.
Leak, who has had trouble run-
ning the option and is more of a
traditional drop-back passer, could
have the opportunity to excel at
what he knows how to do.
"Coach Meyer said he's going
to play us to what we do best, but
it's just little things like maybe
moving the pocket some more,"
Leak said. "Just doing things that
are going to get guys in different
places, and it's just going to be dif-
ferent looks that w re going to do
to help us out in the long run."
Meyer said like any other offensive "So are there concerns about SEE FOOTBALL, PAGE 18

UF MEN'S BASKETBALL
Gators show emotion in scrimmage
By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer
Although practices are usually dosed, the
UF basketball team squared off in an open
scrimmage on Thursday.
And while the Blue squad soundly defeated
the White, 64-24, don't let the score fool you.
The Blue team featured Corey Brewer (10
points), Lee Humphrey (14 points), Joakim
Noah (18 points) and Chris Richard (15 points).
The White had just two experienced players
in Al Horford (5 points) and Taurean Green (8
points) for much of the game.
Their responses to the situation concerned
*The UF women's basketball
team was picked to finish seventh
in the 12-team SEC by the media.
Tennessee was selected No. 1, fol-
lowed by LSU.
UF coach Billy Donovan.
"The thing that's good about it is that they
got frustrated and 'upset because they're com-
petitive, and they want to win," Donovan said.
"If they didn't care, it wouldn't bother them,
but it bothers them deeply. They probably felt
a level of embarrassment because their team
didn't play too well."
Donovan said that it's important for Green
and Horford to learn how to deal with adver-
sity as they develop into leaders in, their sopho-
more season.
"Part of them learning to be leaders is, how
to do you channel that frustration?" Donovan
said. "How do you get the team energized?
MThe UF men's basketball team was
selected to finish second in the SEC East
behind Kentucky. Corey Brewer and Al Hor-
ford were both selected to the preseason
AII-SEC 2nd team by the media.
How do you overcome those obstacles?
"Because there may be a game where-things
aren't going well for our team we're in foul
trouble, we're not shooting well you've
still got to be able to channel that emotion in
the right direction to give yourself a chance to
win."
Noah, who saw limited action last year as
a freshman, showed that he could potentially
play.a key role for the Gators this year.
"I've seen great strides and improvement in
him," Donovan said. "I think you can see he's
got a confidence level about him. He runs the
floor real Well, he's active and he's a competi-
tive kid."

tion, UF and Georgia square off in Athens,

UF SOCCER
Home finale marks seniors' farewell
By SPENCER DAVIS-VANNESS
Alligator Writer
sdvanness@alligator.org
For senior forward Jessica Young,
the 2005 soccer season has flown
right by. Actually, the way she sees
it, Young's entire four-year career
with the UF soccer team seemed like
a blur.
A large part of it will come to a
close tonight.
As the No. 17 Gators (12-4-1, 7-2-1
Southeastern Conference) prepare to
host South Carolina (6-11, 2-8 SEC)
this evening in the final regular season
game,;the team's seniors will also pre-
pare for what may possibly be their
final home game at UF.
Senior night will bring a host of
emotions to the field, and Young
said she's eagerly awaiting a chance
to place an exclamation point on her
career.
"It's going to be pretty exciting,
maybe a little sad," she said. "In terms
of the lessons I've learned here, it's
been wonderful."
Young -added that it wouldn't
be too surprising to see some of the
seniors top off the season with career-
high nights.
"Unfortunately, a lot of times it
comes down to 'this is it,' and that, in
turn, drives a player to do things that
they normally wouldn't do," she said.
The year's senior class includes
stars Jen Gardner, Katie Johnston,
Young Cherry Pickman.
"We definitely lose a lot of person-
alities and a lot of people who have
contributed from the beginning of
their career until now.

Meyer said. "Especially where we're at, I think you're go-
ing to have trouble. I think you're going to need to have
a more expanded offense to get the players comfortable
with what they're doing. There's no question."
NOT QUITE CRUNCH TIME: Though a loss to Georgia
would eliminate UF from conten-
tion for its first SEC title since 2000,
Meyer doesn't believe that Saturday's
Cocktail Party represents a last ditch
effort to salvage the Gators' season.
"I don't want to start those kinds of
things around here last chances and
I all of that," Meyer said after Thursday's
Meyer practice. "That's not what this is. It's a
big-time football game."
Then again, Meyer understands what's at stake.
"Our goal is to compete for the SEC Championship.
That's what our goal is and obviously [losing] this one
would end it," Meyer said. "We're just talking about a
football team that's trying to create in depth on defense
and get better on. offense. We're all well aware of the im-
plications of this game."
NEW THREADS: As part of a one-time promotional
agreement with Nike, the Gators will wear special jer-
seys Saturday against the Bulldogs.
Instead of the traditional all-blue jersey, the tops will
have one orange sleeve and are supposed to provide
added ventilation.
Virginia Tech wore a similar jersey against Boston
College on Thursday. Miami and Oregon will also partici-
pate in the promotion.
INJURY UPDATE: Meyer said he -expects linebacker
Brandon Siler (ankle) to play Saturday.
Defensive end Ray McDonald also is expected to see
significant playing time for the first time since Sept. 17.

UF VOLLEYBALL
Victory will secure SEC title
* GATORS ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A
GRUELING ROAD STRETCH.
By BRYAN JONES
Alligator Writer
The Southeastern Conference schedule mak-
ers probably won't be receiving any Christmas
cards from the Gators this year.
UF volleyball coach Mary Wise was anything
but thrilled to open the SEC volleyball schedule
with three matches on the road. Now, UF will
have to endure four more consecutive away
matches in the season's stretch run.
If the Gators maintain their unblemished
conference record throughout the grueling road
trip, they will clinch their 15th consecutive SEC
title before returning home for their final two
conference matches. The No. 4 Gators (20-1, 10-0
SEC) will begin their travels Friday night against
South Carolina (10-10, 3-7).
On Sunday, UF will take on its biggest rival:
Tennessee (13-7, 7-3). The Volunteers defeated
the Gators twice last season, ending UF's .145-
match winning streak in regular season confer-
ence matches and its streak of 121 overall confer-
ence victories. Both are NCAA records.
While the Gators defeated both teams 3-0 in
Gainesville earlier this season, victories may be a
little more difficult to come by on the road.
PICKS, from page 17
replaced by an even bigger tool named Ronald Reagan.
"The Buck Belue pass to Lindsey Scott is the greatest
play in Georgia history, and it gave them the champion-
ship," Steedman recalls. "I jumped up and hit the ceiling
so hard that I almost broke finger."
Apparently, breaking bones is a Steedman trademark,
because his wife recently took a nasty spill.'
"The pecans are just beginning to come in, and I'm just
getting ready to open the store, but I wish I was down in
Jacksonville if only my wife hadn't been a fool and broken
her arm playing tennis," Steedman said.
As for the rest of us pickers, leading the pack once
again at 46-24 but watching his lead slowly vanish is
resident-perfectionist Bryan "I only need 18 more credit
hours and I will have graduated before the age of 30"
Despite holding season records of 10-10 and
13-7, respectively, South Carolina and Tennessee
are a combined 9-1 at home this season.
Factor in the huge target on UF's back due to
their reputation as a perennial powerhouse, and
the Gators could be in store for a more difficult
weekend than any record could indicate.
The Ge ---joke aboutbeing the "band team,"
Wise said, because schools that don't normally
have their band play at home matches will often
bring out the band when they play UF.
"We know the target on our back is pretty
big," Wise said. "With the tradition of the pro-
gram, we've built that. As a coach, you would
much rather have that than the match that no
one shows up for. I think it is great reflection
on our program that we get everybody's best
shot."
The biggest challenge against the Gamecocks
might not be the South Carolina players or fans,
but simply adjusting to South Carolina's home
court.
South Carolina's gym is very small, and due
to the proximity of the seating area to the end
line, UF might not be able to step back as far as
they would like to on their jump serves, Wise
said.
"There is no room on the sides to chase down
balls. You have to have great ball control," she
said.
UF gaining respect
By BRIAN STEELE
Alligator Writer
Everything is beginning to change
for the UF men's cross country team.
Just don't tell the Gators, because
they are not noticing the changes.
MONDO currently has the men's
team ranked No. 8
nationally, which is
the highest stand-
ing the Gators have
held since 1990.
Although UF
began the sea-
son unranked,
pig the Gators said
they don't care
about the sudden accolades. They
only worry about where they will
finish in Saturday's Southeastern.

Columbia, S.C.
"I don't think we're doing any-
thing differently right now from
when we started the year and
weren't ranked at all," Coach Jeff
App, who slaughters mothers, children and even small
animals if they disagree with him on any sports topic.

melted away from too much tea and the incessant screech-
ing of Ween.

Pigg said. "The ranking wasn't
our goal. We know we can do it
and want to continue to do it."
The Gators have surprised the
cross country community.
"There's no pressure, because
we weren't expected to be this
good," said Henok Lechebo, SEC
Athlete of the Week. "We were
expected to be top 20, and we're
top 10. We already reached the

Digital Wonder
Safety completing journey from. cyberspace to stardom
By ERIC ESTEBAN
Alligator Staff Writer
eesteban@alligator.org
Long before they chanted his name, they
were well aware of who he was and what he
was capable of.
Before they knew who Brandon Siler,
Jeremy Mincey or Markus Manson were,
he was at the center of every conversation
that dealt with who would be the next face
of UF football.
Legions of fans followed his recruit-
ing trail. From elementary school and
Pop Warner leagues up through Palm Bay/
High School, with a pit stop at CoffeyvilJ)
Community College in Kansas, defensive
back Reggie Nelson was a wanted man.
For three years, question upon 4ues-
tion piled up-on Gators' fan Web sits and
message boards wondering about Nelson's
status. Nicknamed "the Thread" for all the
topics started about his status ald where-
abouts, everyone had an opinioAi to give or
inquiry to spout.
"How's Reggie doing inr JUCO?" one
topic would read. "Reggie Nlelson: the next
great Gator safety," read ydt another topic,
while he was trying to qualify for UF after
two years at junior college.
"UF fans just knew ehow. good he was,"
said Jamie Newburg, akecruiting analyst for
Scout.com. "It lasted to the end, and then
he didn't qualify. Then, no one was sure he
was going to make it in school. So it always
seemed like the U1. fans were kind of hang-
ing onto Reggie,Aust hoping."
No one is really sure exactly when
Nelson burst /onto the Floridian football
recruiting scene.
It might have been that first big hit in
the Pop Warner leagues, or perhaps it was
his relentless motor in middle school. But
when it came time for college recruiting,
Nelson had options from the top college
football powerhouses in the country. UF,
Florida State, Louisiana State, Oklahoma
and Miami all came knocking with scholar-
ship offers.
Sev- en games into his long-awaited first
year in Gainesville, it's been Nelson's big-
/time hitting and quiet smile that has the
Gator Nation giddy. He is the one athlete
that every self-proclaimed pundit had
tabbed as an inevitable playmaker before
his first scholarship offer had even been
sent in the mail.
Early Ascent to Humble Stardom
At Palm Bay High.in Melbourne, Coach
Dan Burke was used to making his rounds to
local feeder middle and elementary schools
in hope of finding the next big prospect.
The area had already produced quality
athletes, such as current UF center Mike
Degory.
But when Burke made his first trip to
scout young talent at Stone Middle, just
down the street from Palm Bay, he knew he
had witnessed an absolute player with the
potential to be a true star.
"Even as a high school, we would try to
get out to the youth-league parks at least
once or twice a year, and we noticed him
immediately," Burke said. "As a freshman
player, he returned punts, but by thVplay-
offs, he was already starting for us Xhd mak-
ing plays in the playoffs that year."
.-M
His impact was immediate, even as a
155-pound, 14-year-old freshman lineback-
er. While most kids his age had their hands,.
filled with avoiding the resident schoolyard
bully, Nelson was becoming Melbourne's
resident slash.
Along with linebacker, he played wide
receiver, safety and running back. He made
plays at every position.
"One thing that there isn't a shortage
of with him is talent," Burke said. "I know
Florida is struggling at receiver, and I think
he could even be effective as a fifth receiver
there because he's just the type of player
that knows how to disrupt things on either
side of the ball." >
While Reggie's talents could be utilized
on the offensive side of the field, his love
of hitting fuels him on the defense. His
accumulate .stats in~tigh school led to a
mountain of aesolpdes. As a senior, he re-
corded 169 tacke\s53 assists and 10 sacks
on defense and[ caught 18 passes for 354
yards on orfense. N3eson registered 150
tackles ala junior.
TlI Pirates won state titles in 2000 and
2002, but the humble Nelson never was one
to trash talk.
"One thing with him is that success will
never change him," Burke said. "He truly
loves the game, starting or not, he's the type
of kid that is willing to bide his time and
help the team in any way possible."
Same Place, New Face
Nelson wouldn't make it to UF right
away. Academic woes forced him to spend\
two years at Coffeyville Community
College in Kansas. While the fans back
home still remembered his name, Nelson
was making sure he -was on the path back
to UF He led the Red Ravens to a No. 3
ranking in the tinal 2004 NICAA poll and
recorded 72 tackles on the season while in-

* THE GATORS SEEM TO BE IINPOSITION TO\
REBOUND, AS GEORGIA'S TAR QUARTER-
BACK IS SIDELINED WITI AN INJURY.
By ANDREW AIRAMSON
Alligator Staff WNter /

Urban Meyer's Gators take three.
UF hasn't won either of its last two key
Southeastern Conference games.
So, the Gators are on the verge of a monumental
collapse that could put the team in a late-December
game that could be a downgrade from last year's
Peach Bowl.
' After all the disappointment for Meyer and the
Gators this season, a single victory against Georgia
on Saturday would suddenly make UF a viable, can-
didate for the SEC East crown.
And with the Bulldogs' starting quarterback likely
sidelined for the most important gare in Meyer's UF
career, the Gators seem to be ipla prine position to
leave Jacksonville's Alltel Stadium withsa victory.
Then again, the Gators haven't exactl~ystepped it
up when it's counted in recent seasons.'
"There's a lot at stake and a lot on the line," de-
fensive end Jarvis Moss said. "We just have to' come
but ready Saturday and just play and have fun, and I
think everything will take care of itself."
The Gators enter this game losing two of their last,
three games, with the one victory coming against
Mississippi State, one of the worst teams in the SEC.
"* 'The offense that was supposed to be UF's greatest
Strength this season has been practically nonexistent,
and the Gators have struggled to adapt to Meyer's
schemes that were so successful at Utah.
:. Meanwhile, Georgia has steamrolled to an unde-
feated season and a No. 4 national ranking.
But just as the Bulldogs expected to defeat the
)ators in back-to-back seasons for the first time
since the late 1980s, Georgia starting quarterback D.J.
Shockley went down with a knee injury last week
against Arkansas.
S"Now, it appears that the unheralded and relatively

,- s
a tough UF defense. s
So, with Georgia/ main offensive weapon side-
lined and UF's offense reeling, the first teamlo score
on Saturday could secure a victory.
j "We're still confident," said defensive end jeremy
Mincey. "This is a ig game, a big rivalry. The last
couple years [prior to 2004], we've been taking care
of [Georgia]. Hopefully we can do it again."
In recent seasons, this gane Lhas been no contest.
UF has won all but two games in the series since
1990, although Georgia managed to defeat the Gators
last year.
But the Gators also know that the favored team
which, in this case, is UF doesn't always win.
Both in 2002 and 2003, Georgia was ranked in the top
five in the nation, and the Gators were ranked in the
20s. However, both times UF managed to steal the
victory from one of its most bitter rivals.
"Our fans expect us to beat everybody, and that's
what we need to start doing," defensive end Joe
Cohen said. "We can't come out half stepping. We
need to come out full speed at the beginning of the
game and make plays."

? How They Match Up
FLORIDA RUN vs GEORGIA RUN DEFENSE:
Florida rushes for 146.6 yards per game; UGA allows 109.0 yards rushing per game.
KEY PLAYERS: UF: Jr. TB DeShawn Wynn (76 att.-358 yds., 4.7 avg., 7 TDs), Fr. TB Markus Manson (26-
149, 5.6, 0) UGA: Jr. LB Jarvis Jackson (40 tackles-20 solo), Jr. LB Danny Verdun Wheeler (38-30)
ANALYSIS: It took about two-thirds of a season, but Wynn finally played his way into a permanent
starting role against LSU. Georgia's run defense ranks just fifth in the SEC, and Wynn proved he could
run against quality SEC defenses, gaining 98 yards on 16 carries against LSU.
ADVANTAGE: Florida
FLORIDA PASS vs. GEORGIA PASS DEFENSE:
Florida passes for 236.6 yards per game: UGA allows 183.9 yards passing per game.
KEY PLAYERS: UF: Jr. QB Chris Leak (1,575 yds., 10 TDs-4 INTs, 58.9 pct., 132.4 rating), Jr. Chad Jackson
(52 rec., 558 yds., 10.7 avg.. 6 TDs); Jr. Dallas Baker (32, 431, 13.5, 2) UGA: Sr. FS Greg Blue (57 tackles-
41 solo), Jr. ROV Tra Battle (43-25)
ANALYSIS: Going up against a tough Georgia secondary isn't exactly the perfect remedy for a reeling UF TM
offense. The Gators have yet to prove they can pass against a top SEC defense.
ADVANTAGE: Georgia
GEORGIA RUN vs. FLORIDA RUN DEFENSE:
UGA rushes for 170.0 yards per game; Florida allows 95.9 yards rushing per game. ,-
KEY PLAYERS: UGA: So. TB Thomas Brown (81 att.-432 yds., 5.3 avg., 2 TDs), So. TB Danny Ware (63-
302, 4.0, 8) UF: So. LB Brandon Siler (40 tackles-19 solo), Jr. LB Earl Everett (42-21)
ANALYSIS: This is the second consecutive game the Gators face a team with two tailbacks capable
of serious damage. Brown and Ware are dangerous players, and both will carry the load with QB D.J.
Shockley out for the game.
ADVANTAGE: Georgia
GEORGIA PASS vs. FLORIDA PASS DEFENSE:
Georgia passes for 250.1 yards per game; Florida allows 176.0 yards passing per game.
KEY PLAYERS: UGA: Jr. QB Joe Tereshinski (207 yds.. 0 TDs-1 INT, 56.5 pct.. 123.4 rating), Sr. WR Bryan
S McClendon (20 rec., 287 yds., 14.4 avg., 2 TDs). Jr. TE Leonard Pope (17, 262, 15.4, 1), UF: Sr. CB Vernell
SI Brown (30 tackles-23 solo) Sr. SS Jarvis Herring (26-18)
S__ ANALYSIS: Shockley's out, and UF's secondary is salivating at the thought of going up against Tereshinski.
Reggie Nelson has moved from cornerback to free safety, which could'solve UF's problem at that position.
The Gators' passing defense has been solid all season.
ADVANTAGE: Florida
SPECIAL TEAMS:
FLORIDA KEY PLAYERS: Jr. Kicker Chris Hetland (8-8, 47 long) Sr. Punt Returner, Vernell Brown (22 att., 6.0
avg., 22 long) UGA: So. Kicker Brandon Coutu (16-19, 58), Jr. Punter Gordon Ely-Kelso (29 att., 42.6 avg.,
60 long)
ANALYSIS: Hetland's perfect field goal season is impressive, but Coutu's attempted more than double the
amount of field goals and completed all but three including a 58-yarder. UF's special teams is solid, but TM
the Gators are still struggling in punt and kick returns.
I" INTANGIBLES: The stars must have aligned Urban Meyer's way this week, because just when he
needed something to go right for the Gators, Georgia quarterback D.J. Shockley goes down and UF's
hopes sky-rocketed. This should be old-fashioned SEC football: a low scoring, smash-mouth game with
a ton of defense. And the Gators should do just enough to prevail.
ADVANTAGE: Florida

Andrea Morales/ Alligator Staff Jaleel White, famous for his role as Steve Urkel on the TV show "Family Matters," signs autographs for fans during his visit to UF on Thursday night at the University Auditorium. By KIMBERLY GOUZ Alligator Contributing Writer Jaleel White fought back tears when he described his last season on "Family Matters." "That was the one year I didn't believe I was Steve Urkel when I hit the stage," he said, visibly shaken. "I heard a snicker, but it's cool. I'll let you get away with that," White then said to one of more than 800 fans who flocked to see him. Cameras flashed and fans screamed as White walked into a jam-packed University Auditorium on Thursday night, making his first public speaking engagement on a college campus. Despite 25 years in the entertainment industry, White -remembered for his role as ubernerd Steve Urkel in "Family Matters" -seemed genuinely surprised by the turnout. "Wow," he said smiling. "Did I do that?" White, who entertained the Recycle FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2005 audience with clever anecdotes from his years on the show and beyond, said he is currently pursuing a career in writing. "I don't have a zest for the limelight as much as I have a zest for the work." Jaleel White actor But White hasn't let go of his roots. He still has big plans for his acting career. "I'm ready to raise the ball," he said. "One aspect of my career that's missing is being able to go toe-to-toe in a scene with a guy like Denzel Washington, or comically, Eddie Murphy," White said. "I want to be able to give guys like them something to feed off of." White began doing commercials at age 3, and auditioned for his first sitcom when he was 8 years old.

Most are not surised by the resignation, since Miers received criticism from both political parties. "She wasn't winning anyone over," said Juan F. Perea, professor of law at Levin College of Law. "She didn't seem to lessen people's skepticism." Miers' resignation was also tied to the political image of the president. Perea said it would have been almost impossible for her to continue in her nomination and damaging for the president to continue to support her. "I think it would have been a bruising political fight for the president," he said. Miers' resignation came after congressional members from both parties could not find documents from her role as counsel to the president, leaving many unclear of her judicial philosophy. Democrats accused the president of being a radical right-winger for nominating her, whereas the Republicans questioned her purity to the party. Even if Miers obtained the Supreme Court position, it would have been after much political mud-slinging and damage of public images, Perea said. Brendan Moore, econopolitical chair of the UP College Democrats, said the resignation reflected on President Bush.

The memo, from M.

The memo included such proposals as hiring more part-time workers and discouraging unhealthy applicants from being hired. She suggested dissuading unhealthy applicants by having all employees participate in some form of physical activity, such as gathering carts. Chambers also recommended reducing retirement plan contributions and offering education benefits, which, she wrote, may bring healthier and younger workers to WalMart. "This was just a working memo of what was currently going on within the organization," said Eric Brewer, Around Wal-Mart community afGainesville fairs manager for Florida.

CAM PUS Students get Hepatitis A Two Gators and a visitor from UCF have contracted hepatitis A, prompting university officials to suspect the illness was transmitted on the UF campus. Director Phil Barkley of the Student Health Care Center said it is too early to tell where the disease originated, but students, faculty and staff should be wary. "If people are having any symptoms that would be suggestive of Hepatitis A, don't ignore them," he said. The disease affects the liver, and symptoms include fever, nausea, decreased appetite and abdominal discomfort. Jaundice -yellowed eyes and darkened urine -shows several days later. The disease can be spread by sharing a bathroom or sexual relations with a carrier, Barkley said. The SHCC can provide these "close contacts" with preventive medication. Hepatitis A is almost never fatal, Barkley said, and 30 percent of the population has contracted it at some point. He added that the three students, whose names are being withheld for privacy, are "doing very well." -JUSTIN RICHARDS The mat r se t se c and ear mis nes reports and editoas ilf youi Say: a, e,! plase all ali >ne,%racdf ast (521 376-445 or send an <4atdEiij3l dr o Gator Nattion Tailgate the Place to be on Game Day.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 3 Halloween weekend expected to be mild | Police expect regular revelry R COOL WEATHER A BRIEF RESULT OF TWO SYSTEMS. By CHRISTINA CHAMBERS Alligator Contributing Writer Cooler weather has come and almost gone, teasing Gainesville with the prospect of winter, but at least one Halloween faithful said she is grateful for the warmer temperatures when it comes to being able to have racier costumes. Amy Marin, a geology major, said she is glad it will not be as cold on Halloween because she is "sticking to the traditional female Halloween costume of few clothes, lots of makeup and pizzazz." She said she plans to dress as a "scantily clad absinthe fairy," but also lamented not having an excuse to stay home in her warm bed. "I guess I will be going to class on Monday," she said. "Rats." David Marsh, chief meteorolc ist for local television station WE' I, said since it is the end of Octo r, the change in weather should come as no surprise. With the combination of Hurricane Wilma passing through Florida and a large high-pressure system in the Midwest, there was no doubt temperatures in Gainesville would drop. Hurricanes suck in warm, humid air and expel cool, dry air into the upper atmosphere. High-pressure systems tend to result in the air nearby sinking, which brought cool, dry days to the area. Marsh, who has been covering Central Florida weather for 33 years, said warmer temperatures will return this weekend. Daytime highs should rise to within the high 70s; at night, it will fluctuate in the 50s, according to the National Weather Service Web site. Meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Jacksonville Matt Zibura said temperatures are returning to "near-normal levels for this time of year." The average temperature Thursday was a high of 79 degrees and a low of 56 degrees, he said. Gainesville usually starts to experience consistently colder temperatures in December, he said. However, he added that Floridians can always expect warm spells throughout the winter.

By STEPHANIE RODRIGUEZ Alligator Writer srodriguez@aIligator.org Gainesville Police anticipate crime will not increase much-due to this weekend's spooky festivities. However, this month has seen 11 cases of criminal iischief so far, eight more than the same time last year. GPD spokesmanSgt. Keith Kameg said he doesn't expect any crime out of the ordinary this weekend. "We don't really get a lot of incidents during Halloween weekend," Kameg said. "I don't think that parties are going to be an issue." Criminal mischief is a misdemeanor that includes egging and noise violations. However, some students plan to throw large Halloween parties. UF entomology major Ryan. Welch, 23, said he's having a party tonight starting at 10 p.m. "What else is there to do on Halloween other than get dressed up, get drunk and take off my roommate's pants?" Welch said. For UF political science major Kevin Lewis, partying is about partying responsibly. Lewis, 21, said his party is going to be the biggest in Gainesville. "We have a bouncer because we know that police are, cracking down on underage drinkers," Lewis said. "We are giving a bottle of Grey Goose Vodka to the person with the best costume." For some students, activities might not be as crazy as Welch's or Lewis' parties, but good times are still on the itinerary. Kameg UP civil engineering major Anna Rodriguez, 18, said she is unsure what her plans will be. "I'm contemplating whether I should stay in town or go to Miami because of the hurricane," Rodriguez said. "I'm going to party and have a good time either way." UF telecommunications major Marcus Thomas, 22, said he's going to the game to have a wicked time: "I'm going to party like a rock star," he said. Girls go bare; guys get pimped Tim Casey/ Alligator Staff Brett Nelson and Rebekah Heap look in a mirror as they try on wigs at Center Stage Costume Shop on Southwest 34th Street on Thursday evening. By ANTONIO GONZALEZ Alligator Contributing Writer With Halloween coming up and many events around town already under way, UF students may be too old to trick-or-treat, but donning costumes remains popular. Nina's Costumes, 1636 W University Ave., has been swamped with students this week, said sales associate Alexis Philpott. "Girls want them short -real short," Philpott said. "And guys want to be flashy and showy." She said the most popular costumes for women this year have been Alice and the Queen of Hearts from "Alice and Wonderland." Guys prefer pimp and gangster outfits. Jerry Ford, owner and founder of Nina's, has seen costumes come and go for the past 33 years. In the '70s and '80s, men wanted hot pants, disco and hippie costumes, and women dressed as Marilyn Monroe, he said. Now women want to show a lot of skin while character costumes are more popular with men. Philpott said the normal price of a costume is between $30 and $50. The most expensive costume in the store is a $100 mermaid outfit. Center Stage Costumes and Magic, 2706 SW 34th St., was flooded with customers Thursday aftemoon. Shoppers tended toward more extravagant costumes, assistant manager John Albritton said. Student "People have gotten really Life creative this year," he said. Pirate costumes for men have sold out, and women are buying up all-the Lake Avenue outfits, a line of sexy costumes, he said. "Alice in Wonderland" costumes are also a favorite at Center Stage. Sales associates at the store had no explanation as to the costumes' popularity resurgence except that many women find them cute and sexy. The top sale at Center Stage this year was an $800 "Star Wars" Stormtrooper costume. All three store representatives said they expect sales to pick up this weekend because students tend to wait until the last minute to buy outfits. Legends of noisy ghoul, suicide haunt university residence halls *1 OLD COOK, TOM PETTY SONG INSPIRED STORIES. By ANNA SUGGS Alligator Contributing Writer Rumors about an impossible suicide and a disgruntled cook continue to haunt UF residence life. Two prevalent ghost stories exist at UF, Housing Department spokeswoman Sharon Blansett said. The first involves a UF student in the 1970s who allegedly committed suicide by jumping from her dorm room window in Beatv Towers. The towers are located next to 13th Street, also called U.S. Highway 441, she said. Many believe this story because of the song "American Girl" by Gainesville native Tom Petty, which is about a young girl killing herself by jumping from a balcony "out on 441." Blansett said there are no records of any girl jumping from -Beaty Towers, and there are no balconies. .Nick Huber, an 18-year-old digital arts and sciences major, said he has heard of the myth. in Beaty Towers, but the possibilty of a girl jumping from the towers is slim because the windows are sealed shut. When asked about ghosts in UF residence halls, Blansett laughed. "I think that when it gets to this time of year, people seem to seek out Halloween-related thrills," she said. "There is a thrill in being scared and making up these kinds of stories." The second ghost story involves strange noises in Thomas Hall, one of the oldest buildings on campus. Residents claim to hear banging coming from the heating system when it's not being used. Blansett said according to UF folklore, the noises are caused by the "There is a thrill in being scared and making up these kinds of stories." Sharon Blansett Housing spokeswoman ghost of Old Steve, the head cook on campus in 1906. Old Steve was disruptive in his lunch preparations, according to "A History of UF Residence Halls." Shouting, cursing, the banging of pots and pans, the hissing of steam and the crackling of fire were familiar sounds of Old Steve. Blansett said there is no big mystery to the noises heard now. It is just an old heating system. Andrew Nichols, executive director of the American Institute of Parapsychology and chairman of the mental health department at City College Gainesville Campus, said the UF ghost stories are very entertaining myths, but there is a big difference between folklore and actual ghost activity. Ghosts are just projections from people's minds, he said, created by the unconscious mind as a result of trauma, fear or conflict.

4, ALLIGATOR E FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2005 Fee raises proposed N HEALTH FEE ALONE ASKED TO RISE 78 CENTS PER HOUR. By LYNDSEY LEWIS Alligator Writer Ilews~aII/tatoreorg UF students could be seeing a Health Fee cost increase of up to 78 cents per credit hour by Fail 2006, if the university's Fee Committee votes to accept proposals by Student Health Care Center representatives. At Thursday's meeting of the Fee Committee SHCC Director Phil Bailey requested that UP's general medical services be allocated a fbise of 67 cents per credit hour, while UF Counseling Center Director Jackie Resnick proposed an 11-cent increase. Students already pay a Health Fee of $8.44 per credit hour. The fee goes toward facilities and services in all SHCC departments. However, the Counseling Center is supported primarily by Education and General subsidies, while SHCC's main medical sector operates solely on funding from student fees. Barkley said SHCC needs the fee increase to maintain its programs. "We are going to do things that are extraordinary at the University of Florida, and that may include making service cuts," he said. However, committee chairman Dave Kratzer emphasized that funding is already tight and that Florida statutes cap all student-fee increases at 95 cents per year. "We are not going to have enough money to cover all [health costs] this year," he said. "We already have the highest health fee in the [state university system]." The 95-cent per-credit-hour maximum increase is divided between Activity & Service, Health and Athletic fees. So far, the committee has heard a proposal to hike A&S fees by 84 cents, Student Senate President John Boyles said. Students pay an A&S Fee of $8.64 per credit hour. ACADEMICS GRE gets makeover By JESSICA RIFFEL "We think it is unfair for Alligator Writer jriffel@amgator.org students to have to sufSome graduate school admissions exams, including the Graduate Record Examination, will change next year to better predict graduate-level success. The GRE, required for admission to many graduate programs, will change Oct. 1, 2006. The new test is four hours long, up from two-and-a-half hours, with changes in the verbal and math sections. e This is perhaps the largest change the GRE has gone through in its 55-year history" said Ben Baron, vice president of graduate programs at Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions. Liz Wands, director of graduate marketing for The Princeton Review, said the Review opposes the changes made by the Educational Testing Service, makers of the GRE and other admissions exams. "We think it is unfair for stufer through a test that is 60 percent longer so that ETS can save a few bucks." Liz Wands graduate marketing director, The Princeton Review dents to have to suffer through a test that is 60 percent longer so that ETS can save a few bucks," she said. She also expressed concern that students will not be allowed to use their own calculators, adding that the on-screen calculator isn't adequate. ETS spokesman Tom Ewing said the changes were made after the GRE's advisory board of graduate-level deans and educators requested the exam test more reasoning skills. "They wanted the exam to for 2006 reflect more real-life skills," he said. "They've been wanting to revamp the GRE for years." In the verbal portion of the exam, the antonym and analogy sections will be eliminated. Instead, students will be asked to read a passage and choose the best summary. In the math section, there will be fewer geometry questions and more data interpretation questions using graphs, charts and tables. The exam will be offered only 30 times a year instead of continuously. It will also containthe same questions for each student while the present format is adjusted to individual students. Currently, the questions are reused for several tests, but to reduce cheating the new format will not reuse any questions. Also, there are only two more opportunities to take the current format of the Medical College Admission Test before it changes from paper to online format in April 2007. 99 1 11ints /)oas d~gi 1515 SW 13th St $1D off any ite.j Custurmer pa s e' a Exire -1i/31/o. 9!

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 5 UF professor becomes president of journalism society By BOBBY KEITH Alligator Contributing Writer UF's newest president took office last week. But David Carlson still has the same office, teaches at the same col. lege and wears the same safari hat. Earlier this month, the UF journalism professor took the reins as president of the Society of Professional Journalists. Though Carlson's office is adomed with nametags from dozens of previous positions he's held, they all pale in comparison to this one, he said. "I consider this'accomplishment my No. 1 in my career," Carlson said. SPJ is a national organization of journalists, both student and professional, that exists to promote the importance of a free press in the United States, Carlson said. The Qrganization promotes journalism ethics, diversity, professional development and advocates First Amendment rights regarding freedom of speech. During his one-year tern as president, Carlson will have responsibilities that stretch beyond campus and state boundaries. He'll have his hand in nearly everything the society is involved in, from giving press seminars to lobbying Congress for journalistfriendly laws.' "It's a big job," he said. It's a position that not only requires dedication, but quite a bit of traveling as well. In the next two weeks, he will attend functions in Orlando, Fort Worth, Texas, and Seoul, South Korea. Carlson, the first professor to be elected SPJ president, noted that his newfound responsibilities differ from many typical figurehead positions held by other professionals, who "just occasionally make speeches," he said. The amount of time Carlson had to devote to his SPJ responsibilities forced him to teach fewer classes this semester, he said. About 12 hours of his day are dedicated to SPJ in addition to being a working professor. But it's time well spent, he added, noting he strongly-believes in the principles the society promotes. "SPJ is out there every day on the front lines working to protect all journalists," Carlson said. "Not just its members, but all journalists." One topic SPJ is focusing on is federal protection for reporters, which has become a question of debate in recent months, most notably in the case of New York Times reporter Judith Miller. Miller was recently jailed for not revealing her sources to a federal grand jury. In turn, she was sent to prison for 85 days. Different states have different laws regarding journalists and anonymous sources. SPJ advocates a federal "shield law," which would protect journalists who use confidential sources. Miller's refusal to reveal her source eamed her an award from SPJ, which drew criticism from both journalists and non-journalists alike, Carlson said. But, he added, she also gave the society another reason to lobby for legislation that prevents such a thing from happening again. "I will be very active in representing a journalist's interests in this area, especially dealing with the federal shield law," he said. An ideal federal shield law would help define a journalist's privileges to information and also more clearly define what a journalist is -for example, whether a Weblog author is protected. Although it's unlikely, SPJ hopes the law will define a journalist as broadly as possible, Carlson said. The debate about this issue may even lead him to speak in front of the U.S. Congress, he said. "Journalism is always based on facts," he said. "So, I don't think a blogger will ever make it." Former child star to UF fans: 'I don't have a zest for the limelight' WHITE, from page 1 and he was told the role was practically guaranteed to him. But at the last minute, Bill Cosby decided Rudy should be a girl in the sitcom. "That's why she has a boy's name!" White said. But White didn't give up there. By the time he was in seventh grade, he was ready to transition into the role which gained him international recognition: Steve Urkel. He said his braces and height made him feel awkward, and he was about ready to give up when the role came along. "When I auditioned for 'Family Matters,' for the first time in my career I dressed up for the character," White said. Although White's appearance on "Family Matters" was, originally planned as a guest appearance, it was not long before he earned a full-time spot. "I got into the role," said White, who admits to watching episodes On of "Seinfeld," "The Cosby Show" and "Gilligan's Island" to get moves for his character. White said his favorite episodes included the one with Bruce Lee and the one with the pie fight with the whole family. "The pies felt like bullets," White said. He may have made his first million at 15 and stayed at the entire top floor of the Trump Tower when he visited New York City, but White said he's "just keepin' it real." While some may have expected him to end up on the reality show, "The Surreal Life" on VH1, White said he doesn't want to be on the show. "I don't have a zest for the limelight as much as I have a zest for the work," he said. Healthier and younger employees hired to keep company healthcare costs low WAL-MART, from page 1 since full-time employees, who earn about $17,500 annually, could possibly face out-of-pocket expenses of $2,500 a year -more than 15 percent of their incomes. "Wal-Mart has a long history of manipulating social infrastructure," said David O'Gorman, SFCC economics professor. "The enormous benefit to a community and the consumer is pretty suspect." In a statement released Wednesday by Wal-Mart Corporate Communications, officials stated, "we're fortunate that we offer pretty good benefits to begin with -as good as our competitors and, in many cases, better." However, with every business in America facing the "harsh reality of skyrocketing healthcare costs," Wal-Mart officials are being faced with one question in their boardrooms: "How do we balance genuine desire to provide the best benefits to employees while remaining competitive in the global economy?" The company announced a new plan Monday that sought to increase participation in healthcare benefits by allowing some of its employees to pay $11 a month in premiums included in their regular plan. The statement also indicated Wal-Mart will improve access to medical care by providing in-store clinics to keep down emergency room expenses, among other actions. All of these initiatives are ways that Wal-Mart officials are trying to improve benefits for their employees and become leaders and drivers of change. "There's a movement that is anti-Wal-Mart and bigbox stores," said Gainesville City Commissioner Jack Donovan. "This is largely because [big businesses] come from outside a community." Wal-Mart can become competition-free, Donovan said. "I have been following that literature as close as I can," he said. "For every one job available at a big business, the local community loses more than 1.5 jobs." However, Donovan said that in the long run, "what might not be so great for the whole city might actually benefit East Gainesville."

6, ALLIGATOR E FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2005 The Editorial Board is more scared of insane political leaders this week than any of the mythical beasts associated with Halloween. Nuclear weapons and righteous religious conservatives chill us more than any half-assed attempt at a Jason or Freddy costume. Harriet Miers' withdrawal from her Supreme Court nomination comforts us a little, yet we shudder to think of Bush's next nomination. But we're glad to have a weekend ahead of us that will be full of lame costume parties, rotting pumpkins and orange punch. In fact, we think UF should cancel school Monday to make up for not canceling class when Hurricane Wilma bit Florida. That way, we can get back to our roots and go trick-or-treating in poorly constructed ghost costumes. UTF President Bernie Machen's house is first on our list. So punch two holes in your best sheets, pick up a large pillowcase and follow us on a quest for Sixlets and Tootsie Rolls in this weeks' edition of. Darts & Laurels Starting our walk at the president's house, we bestow a lights-and-air-conditioning-are-for-pussies-anyway LAUREL on Machen for pledging Wednesday to reduce waste disposal on campus. On Campus Sustainability Day, Machen announced his plans to get rid of all the university's waste by 2015. We applaud the goal, but Machen has to do much more than talk to complete the plan. His speech was overly vague. He said UF will increase incentives for employees who carpool, but he didn't specify what those incentives would be. He said that excess lights in campus buildings are already dimmed but didn't say how much energy that saves. And he only said UF would try to set heating and cooling systems at optimum efficiency. We support the idea, but we want specifics. But such proclamations at least show our university is on apositive track. A college in Pittsburgh scares us with the possibility that anything students write outside the classroom could get them expelled. We shoot a just-because-someone-is-an-asshole-is-no-reason-to-disregard-the-First-Amendment DART at Duquesne University for threatening to expel sophomore Ryan Miner because he used the word "subhuman" when describing homosexuals on Facebook.com. We immediately dislike Miner, but expelling him for his comments on a Web site unaffiliated with the school is seriously overstepping students' rights. His comment, though despicable, is not criminal. In some situations, however, people must take responsibility for their words. Especially when that someone is the leader of Iran. We throw a when-you're-the-president-of-an-unpopularcountry-don't-make-death-threats DART at Iranian president Mahmoud Ahimadinejad for calling for Israel to be "wiped off the map." -The comment has angered every Western nation and proves that Iran's regime is completely nuts. He called for Palestinians to destroy Israel, but some intelligently distanced themselves from the madman by rejecting his remarks. Iran has been defending the purpose of its nuclear program, claiming that it is for peaceful power generation. We now seriously doubt that remark. Our world has just gotten a little bit more frightening. dih independent florida Mike Gimignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR Emily Yehle OPINIONS EDITOR Tom Durrenberger, Scott Gilton, Andrew Meyer EDITORIAL BOARD The Allgator encourages comments from readers.

Opinilill.1 Arvr oU rn n UF administrators disrespect the law If you're like most Alligator readers, you probably paid little attention to the all-too-brief soap opera we ran m these pages involving UF instructor Charles Grapski's lawsuit against university President Bernie Machen. Guy doesn't like Florida Blue Key. Machen refuses to help guy. Guy sues Machen. Alligator covers the crap out of it because it's anti-FBK -nothing new, right? Unfortunately, Machen and the UF administration are banking on sentiments such as that. What may have seemed to be one disgruntled employee's battle against an old boys club in reality had the potential to strike a serious blow to the administration's flippant attitude toward the law. The issue at stake here is the public's right to have access to its government. UF, to put it simply, doesn't believe it is a public institution -except for when it's time for those checks from the state government to come in. Grapski sued Machen because Machen refused to hand over e-mails connected to FBK. This might not seem strange to you. Who wants to give up his private e-mail? But in this case, we aren't talking about Machen's private e-mail. As a public official, all e-mail he sends in his official capacity as president -including those related to FBK -are public records. Check Title X, Chapter 119 of the Florida statutes, available online at leg.state.fl.us/statutes, if you want to confirm any of these details. You'll find, among other things, that electronic communication is covered under public-records law and that public officials are required to maintain those records. If you haven't caught on yet, let me spell it out for you: -Machen broke the law when he deleted those emails, and he broke the law again when he refused to give them to Grapski. But no court precedent has been established regarding e-mail. While e-mails undoubtedly will be placed in the same public-records category as letters, voicemail and other forms of correspondence, the right court case hasn't arrived to prove this. This could have been that case. Instead, a sympathetic judge Matt Sanchez threw out the case based on a In Moderation technicality: The suit implied msanchez@aIigator.org that Grapski received no records from Machen. In fact, Grapski did receive some -though they weren't the ones he wanted. Grapski will be allowed to clarify his statements and re-file the lawsuit, and hopefully he will do so. As UF students, we can't afford to be in the dark about the actions of the administrators who run our school. Machen's denial of Grapski's request wasn't the first time the administration flaunted its disrespect for the law, nor will it be the last. UF administrators have denied countless legal requests for public records, kept secret or denied student access to legally open meetings, and allowed Student Government to do the same. Maybe you couldn't care less about the FBK situation. Heck, I couldn't care less about the FBK situation. I think SG could find better ways to spend our money, but I also think Gator Growl is an event intended for all students and thus should be eligible for student funds -regardless of who is running it. But this is bigger than this one incident. If administrators believe they are above public-records law -and worse, if it turns out they are because no one is willing to challenge them -what could they get away with next?

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 7 UF's automotive blackmail demands student demonstration In the history of audacious frauds perpetrated upon unsuspecting citizens of the world, perhaps none is more daring, more blatant and more contemptuous of its victims than the current scheme of automotive blackmail in place at this university. With a guaranteed number of students attending classes every day and a woefully inefficient citywide transportation system, our upstanding alma mater is faced with a glaring problem: the incredibly deficient number of parking spaces in relation to students. One would think the reasonable answer to such a dilenma would be to finance and construct a series of parking garages or lots free of charge to students since they are already compelled to pay for this university's courses. However, UF, in all its wisdom, has decided upon a radically different course of action. Instead of attempting to alleviate the problem, or even deprioritizing parking infractions, it has chosen to implement a deliberately confusing system of parking sections -to the effect that, even when students pay more than $100 of their hard-earned blood, sweat and tears, they are still unable to park anywhere on campus. Evidently, the right to park is not universal, resulting in nothing but mind-numbing yet ineffectual frustration on the part of students and increased revenue for this already bloated institution of greed. This legalized system of extortion ranks among the most brilliant frauds ever practiced upon the public. Not only are students denied the option simply not to come since they pay for classes, the arm-wrenching is approved by the very institution we are meant to praise and look to for guidance in times of need. Yet the university pulls a feat similar to the emperor's new clothes, hoping that by shining light on the problem, everyone will be blinded or simply avoid looking at the glare. And sadly enough, this stratagem has been marvelously efficient for the most part. The Benjamin student body Abdulnour hasn't held a Speaking Out mass demonstration declaring opposition to such a tortuously coercive parking plan. Student Government has not really discussed actual solutions to this problem. And without some sort of organized form of dissent, the university will undoubtedly continue on its illicit path of financial terror: financing its expenditures through the piecemeal extortion. from each student as he parks for class. In the words of another brilliant mind who opposed similar blackmail, we must "join or die." In the absence of unified revolt, albeit through peaceful means, the only concessions we will ever see are more garages like the Reitz Union, which not only fails to compensate for the influx of new students but also charges a daily fee. This ridiculous parking policy cannot be allowed to survive. Strike it down now without restraint, or risk extortion for time eternal. As Churchill said, "It is not the actions of bad men which condemn us. It is the inaction of good men standing by." Without organized rebellion, this legalized criminal procedure will continue. For the sake of our self-respect, if not our wallets, let us join together in opposition to such tyrannous actions. Benjamin Abdulnour is a philosophy and political science senior. Le"ter to U.Editor Student Government should conduct an audit to show where student money goes I read with interest your recent editorial about support for the Reitz Union from Student Government and the underwriting of costs of the Phillips Center for student tickets. In 1982 and 1983, I was the chairman of the Board of Managers of the Reitz Union and student body treasurer; I was also the night manager of the Orange and Brew. During my years in SG, including the Senate and SG Cabinet, we spent a lot of time fighting with the administration over the use of student money. Some money was well spent; some was w asted. The only suggestion I can make is to conduct an audit of the SG budget first time in 1983. We had this published i so that the students would h of where their money was g course hour. It seemed to work. Also, I just always wanted t the editorial published on my 1983 calling me "Candy Assed I have it somewhere in sto few years stumble across it. smile as I reflect on the great ti Keep up the good writing, often. like I did for the Z E N n the Alligator Coulter's comments taken out of context ave a snapshot I didn't realize when I was hanging an going from each American flag last Thursday that I was preparing for a "greedfest."

8, ALLIGATOR U FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2005 CQPIIN CA'N'T Girls take rugby to rmfor charity Kristin icnolIs/ Alligator Decked out in frilly dresses, the UF Women's Rugby Club competes in its annual Rugby Prom game Thursday. THE UF WOMEN'S RUGBY CLUB RAISED $200 FOR A CANCER-SUPPORT PROGRAM. By DIANA MAZZELLA Alligator Writer dmazzella alligator.org The women wore cleats and kneehigh socks with dresses that were purple and sparkly, pink with bows and patterned with bright florals. The UF Women's Rugby club played its fifth annual prom scrimmage Thursday night at the University Village South Field, with 70 people watching the women tatter and dirty their prom dresses for charity. The players said they wore dresses purchased from thrift stores. UF athletic trainer Mark Sutherlin, who was assigned to watch the match, said it was his first time watching Rugby Prom. He said the most eye-catching dress was the one he described as a "metallic purple" which had a ruffle at the waist. Freshman Jamie Arjona said she paid about $5 for her blue floorlength dress at a local thrift store. "I know. It's a stunner," she said. She did not play because of an injury but still wore her dress with crutches and watched the team play. "It's outrageous, and I think people really enjoy watching it. You're waiting to hear the dresses rip. That's the hilarious part of it." Abby Herstich Rugby Club vice president She said she thought one of the more creative dresses was a pink dress cut unevenly above the knees with three rosettes in the back and a duct-tape belt. Another was the long purple dress with puffed sleeves, she said. As the game progressed, some players added a T-shirt to their ensembles; others played in only part of the dress. One player was wearing a bodice without the skirt, showing her shorts. Sophomore Devin Huber said the game is fun and helps the team bond. Club Vice President Abby Herstich said she thought attendees want to see the irony of women playing a sport that many people think makes them more masculine while wearing dresses. "It's outrageous, and I think people really enjoy watching it," Herstich said. "You're waiting to hear the dresses rip. That's the hilarious part of it." Club Treasurer Allison Fischman said donations at the event totaled about $200 for the SUNNA Cancer Support Program for Women, a part of UF Women's Health Research Center. "This is my favorite game of the semester," she said. Women's Rugby Head Coach Kerri O'Malley said this is one of the team's annual charities. A cancer group was chosen because a former player's mother had died of breast cancer. Students and faculty express surprise that Court nominee was proposed at all MIERS, from page 1 nominee confirmed to the Supreme Court," he said. "I think this sends a clear signal to the president that his next nominee should not be a crony.", Moore, 21, said this is just another example of the president's inability to choose qualified individuals for important positions. "The Bush administration often appoints unqualified cronies, like fonner FEMA Director Michael Brown, to important positions," he said. "I think this is just another example of the larger culture of cronyism that exists in the Bush White House." Perea, however, said he believes Miers could have made a plausible Supreme Court justice. "In my personal opinion, she was certainly qualified by virtue of education and experience," he said. "However, her qualifications were different from many other nominees'." He mentioned that the late William H. Rehnquist had not served as a judge before becoming chief justice of the Supreme Court, and he finds it interesting that prerequisites for a seat on the court seem to have changed in recent years. Perea also added the Constitution doesn't actually have a set of requirements when it comes choosing a judge, but he believes the Senate does not press hard enough when it comes to questions on nominees' beliefs. "I continue to be disappointed that the Senate doesn't press on that," he said. "The public has a right to know." A nominee's beliefs are the main way the public can determine how he or she will rule on different national issues, he said. Tommy Jardon, 21, an economics major and a member of College Republicans, said he believes the Democrats will criticize any nominee the president chooses. "I think they'll get off it pretty quick and redirect their cannons at the coming indictments and whoever the new nominee is," he said. He also said he believes Miers will be replaced within several days. "I give until tomorrow. Monday at the absolute latest," he said. Perea also made a prediction. "My prediction is the president will choose someone safe, like Roberts," he said. Perea also added that he believed Roberts was actually a good choice. "He's as good as the Democrats will get from a conservative president." ~ f~'~"eUU~~;., ~.'~~""r S c~ 'F' Awc',;~&; S 2' vi~vvi~~'e5' F2t~f5 iv, ii .5-5,5.'.

S Orts FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org SITE: Alltell Stadium, Jacksonville (cap. 76,000) KICKOFF: Saturday 3:30 p.m. TV/RADIO: CBS/WRUF AM850 You know that old saying (or at least half of it) that you can fool some people sometimes? In honor of the upcoming FloridaGeorgia bash, I sought out the most infamous Georgian of them all, one who fooled an entire nut-loving red state. Remember Jimmy Carter? Of course you don't, you uneducated child of the 21st century. Well he's a former U.S. president, born and former peanut farmer. Apparently, Carter's too important, or too old, to talk to the Alligator. So instead, I sought out John Steedman, owner of the North Georgia Pecan Co., "home of the wise crack," in beautiful downtown Athens. I couldn't lie to a pecan man, so I told Steedman that he was indeed my second nutty choice for this week's picks column. In return, he informed me that Georgia is, in fact, a red state, and they're not too fond of old J.C. these days. "He's a bleeding heart liberal, out of favor with us," said the 59-yearold former UGA student. "Since then, I think he's gotten even more liberal. He never met a dictator he didn't like." Steedman turned out to be a solid picker of the week, because his granddaddy, John Cox, played on the 1909 Bulldogs team, and he works next door to the corporate office of Widespread Panic. Steedman's heart lies with the red and black, and he vividly recalls the 1980 Sugar Bowl game that landed the Bulldogs their only national championship. Evidently, this took place just weeks before Carter was ousted from the White House, SEE PICKS, PAGE 19 EThe No. 3 UF men's swimming and diving team defeated Georgia 173-127.

Conference. Since his arrival, Coach Urban Meyer said like any other offensive "So are there concerns about SEE FOOTBALL, PAGE 18 Meyer has maintained that he has no offensive system. Lately, it seems the Gators have been trying to prove him correct. Trying to grasp the same spread option offense Meyer succeeded with at Utah and Bowling Green, UF has exactly one sustained touchdown drive against ranked opponents this season. Now, Meyer says it's time for his coaching staff to adapt UF's offense to its playmakers, just like he promised since his first days in Gainesville. "The job of a coach is to adapt a so-called system. I've always said there isn't a system," Meyer said. "The system has to adapt to the personnel, and I don't believe we've done a great job at that. "You can't just say, 'Here's the offense. Now, go get it.' Because at some point it's going to fail." Against Louisiana State on Oct. 15, the offense managed just 206 total yards, including a 107-yard 11-for-30 performance from quarterback Chris Leak. Leak, who has had trouble running the option and is more of a traditional drop-back passer, could A have the opportunity to excel at what he knows how to do. "Coach Meyer said he's going to play us to what we do best, but it's just little things like maybe moving the pocket some more," Leak said. "Just doing things that are going to get guys in different Tim Casey/ places, and it's just going to be difTi -asy Alligator Staff fervent looks that we are going todo Chris Leak scrambles against Alabama during the Gator's 31-3 loss in Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Oct. 1 to help us out in the long run." Coach Urban Meyer is trying to make Leak feel more comfortable in the offense. UF MENS BASKETBALL ih emotion in scrimmage By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer Although practices are usually closed, the UF basketball team squared off in an open scrimmage on Thursday. And while the Blue squad soundly defeated the White, 64-24, don't let the score fool you. The Blue team featured Corey Brewer (10 points), Lee Humphrey (14 points), Joakim Noah (18 points) and Chris Richard (15 points). The White had just two experienced players in Al Horford (5 points) and Taurean Green (8 points) for much of the game. Their responses to the situation concerned UF coach Billy Donovan. "The thing that's good about it is that they got frustrated and upset because they're competitive, and they want to win," Donovan said. "If they didn't care, it wouldn't bother them, but it bothers them deeply. They probably felt a level of embarrassment because their team didn't play too well." Donovan said that it's important for Green and Horford to learn how to deal with adversity as they develop into leaders in their sophomore season. "Part of them leading to be leaders is, how to do you channel that frustration?" Donovan said. "How do you get the team energized? NThe UF men's basketball team was selected to finish second in the SEC East behind Kentucky. Corey Brewer and Al Horford were both selected to the preseason All-SEC 2nd team by the media. How do you overcome those obstacles? "Because there may be a game where things aren't going well for our team -we're in foul trouble, we're not shooting well -you've still got to be able to channel that emotion in the right direction to give yourself a chance to win." Noah, who saw limited action last year as a freshman, showed that he could potentially playa key role for the Gators this year. "I've seen great strides and improvement in him," Donovan said. "I think you can see he's got a confidence level about him. He runs the floor real well, he's active and he's a competitive kid." U 1995: With the Gator Bowl under renovation, UF and Georgia square off in Athens, and the Gators secure a 52-17 victory. It was the Bulldogs' worst home loss in school history. EThe UF women's basketball team was picked to finish seventh in the 12-team SEC by the media. Tennessee was selected No. 1, followed by LSU.

18, ALLIGATOR N FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2005 H ome finale marks seniors' farewell By SPENCER DAVIS-VANNESS Alligator Writer A -sdvanness@alligator.org For senior forward Jessica Young, the 2005 soccer season has flown right by Actually, the way she sees it, Young's entire four-year career with the UF soccer team seemed like a blur. a large part of it will come to a close tonight. As the No. 17 Gators (12-4-1, 7-2-1 Southeastern Conference) prepare to host South Carolina (6-11, 2-8 SEC) this evening in the final regular season game,.the team's seniors will also prepare for what may possibly be their final home game at UP. Senior night will bring a host of emotions to the field, and Young said she's eagerly awaiting a chance to place an exclamation point on her career. "It's going to be pretty exciting, maybe a little sad," she said. "In terms of the lessons I've leaked here, it's been wonderful." Young added that it wouldn't be too surprising to see some of the seniors top off the season with careerhigh nights. "Unfortunately, a lot of times it comes down to 'this is it,' and that, in tum, drives a player to do things that they normally wouldn't do," she said. The year's senior class includes stars Jen Gardner, Katie Johnston, Young Cherry Pickman. "We definitely lose a lot of personalities and a lot of people who have contributed from the beginning of their career until now.

"Especially where we're at, I think you're going to have trouble. I think you're going to need to have a more expanded offense to get the players comfortable with what they're doing. There's no question." NOT QUITE CRUNCH TIME: Though a loss to Georgia would eliminate UF from contention for its first SEC title since 2000, Meyer doesn't believe that Saturday's Cocktail Party represents a last ditch effort to salvage the Gators' season. "I don't want to start those kinds of things around here -last chances and all of that," Meyer said after Thursday's Meyer practice. "That's not what this is. It's a big-time football game." Then again, Meyer understands what's at stake. "Our goal is to compete for the SEC Championship. That's what our goal is and obviously [losing] this one would end it," Meyer said. "We're just talking about a football team that's trying to create in depth on defense and get better on offense. We're all well aware of the implications of this game." NEW THREADS: As part of a one-time promotional agreement with Nike, the Gators will wear special jerseys Saturday against the Bulldogs. Instead of the traditional all-blue jersey, the tops will have one orange sleeve and are supposed to provide added ventilation. Virginia Tech wore a similar jersey against Boston College on Thursday.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 19 UF VOLLEYBALL Victory wiil secure SEC title E GATORS ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A GRUELING ROAD STRETCH. By BRYAN JONES Alligator Writer The Southeastern Conference schedule makers probably won't be receiving any Christmas cards from the Gators this year. UF volleyball coach Mary Wise was anything but thrilled to open the SEC volleyball schedule with three matches on the road. Now, UF will have to endure four more consecutive away matches in the season's stretch run. If the Gators maintain their unblemished conference record throughout the grueling road trip, they will clinch their 15th consecutive SEC title before returning home for their final two conference matches. The No. 4 Gators (20-1, 10-0 SEC) will begin their travels Friday night against South Carolina (10-10, 3-7). On Sunday, UF will take on its biggest rival: Tennessee (13-7, 7-3). The Volunteers defeated the Gators twice last season, ending UF's 145match winning streak in regular season conference matches and its streak of 121 overall conference victories. Both are NCAA records. While the Gators defeated both teams 3-0 in Gainesville earlier this season, victories may be a little more difficult to come by on the road. PICKS, from page 17 replaced by an even bigger tool named Ronald Reagan. "The Buck Belue pass to Lindsey Scott is the greatest play in Georgia history, and it gave them the championship," Steedman recalls. "I jumped up and hit the ceiling so hard that I almost broke finger." Apparently, breaking bones is a Steedman trademark, because his wife recently took a nasty spill.' "The pecans are just beginning to come in, and I'm just getting ready to open the store, but I wish I was down in Jacksonville if only my wife hadn't been a fool and broken her arm playing tennis," Steedman said. As for the rest of us pickers, leading the pack once again at 46-24 but watching his lead slowly vanish is resident-perfectionist Bryan "I only need 18 more credit hours and I will have graduated before the age of 30" Despite holding season records of 10-10 and 13-7, respectively, South Carolina and Tennessee are a combined 9-1 at home this season. Factor in the huge target on UF's back due to their reputation as a perennial powerhouse, and the Gators could be in store for a more difficult weekend than any record could indicate. The Gz'-joke aboutbeingthe "band team," Wise said, because schools that don't normally have their band play at home matches will often bring out the band when they play UP. "We know the target on our back is pretty big," Wise said. "With the tradition of the program, we've built that. As a coach, you would much rather have that than the match that no one shows up for. I think it is great reflection on our program that we get everybody's best shot." The biggest challenge against the Gamecocks might not be the South Carolina players or fans, but simply adjusting to South Carolina's home court. South Carolina's gym is very small, and due to the proximity of the seating area to the end line, UF might not be able to step back as far as they would like to on their jump serves, Wise said. "There is no room on the sides to chase down balls. You have to have great ball control," she said. UF gaining respect By BRIAN STEELE Alligator Writer Everything is beginning to change for the UF men's cross country team. Just don't tell the Gators, because they are not noticing the changes. MONDO currently has the men's team ranked No. 8 nationally, which is the highest standing the Gators have held since 1990. Although UF began the season unranked, the Gators said they don't care about the sudden accolades. They only worry about where they will finish in Saturday's Southeastern Conference Championship in Columbia, S.C. "I don't think we're doing anything differently right now from when we started the year and weren't ranked at all," Coach Jeff App, who slaughters mothers, children and even small animals if they disagree with him on any sports topic. Sitting in second with a 45-25 record and munching on a bag of lard is hobo Romanian punk-rock hairfest Louis "come work for me and feel my sexy gut" Anastasis, who fulfilled a life long wet dream by meeting Shaq on Thursday -Shaq will never be the same. Squished in the middle at 44-26 is day tripper Andrew "spinal meningitis is sexy" Abramson, whose brain has melted away from too much tea and the incessant screeching of Ween. In fourth place at 43-27 is closet message board fiend Eric "wait, brain cells don't always grow back?" Esteban, who orders Happy Meals at the McDonalds drive thru we think he also drives a white van and laces the French fries with GHB, if you catch our drift.

"The ranking wasn't our goal. We know we can do it and want to continue to do it." The Gators have surprised the cross country community. "There's no pressure, because we weren't expected to be this good," said Henok Lechebo, SEC Athlete of the Week. "We were expected to be top 20, and we're top 10. We already reached the level that we weren't supposed to be reach." It's a different story for the women's team. After losing junior Jarrie Geissler, last year's top runner, to injury, the team's younger and inexperienced runners have been forced to the forefront. Despite the increasing pressure, sophomore Lindsay Sundell, who finished as the Gators' top runner in two of their four races this year, welcomes the challenge of being a new leader. "I like [being a leader]. It's more of a privilege." Urkel look cool, Ian "I suck at life, and I also suck Brian Shaffer's .laptop," Fisher who can be seen on the internet in a homosexual pose with ex-wrestling icon Goldberg. Tied for last with the Big Fish is (fill in the blank) Farzad, "I really don't say anything negative in fact, I'm actually a robot created in a Iranian laboratory" Safi, who once killed a fly, and he's still on suicidal watch.

Before they knew who Brandon Siler, Jeremy Mincey or Markus Manson were, he was at the center of every conversation that dealt with who would be the next face of UF football. Legions of fans followed his recruiting trail. From elementary school and Pop Warner leagues up through Palm Bay/ High School, with a pit stop at Coffeyvily Community College in Kansas, defense back Reggie Nelson was a wanted man For three years, question upon ouestion piled up on Gators' fan Web sitr and message boards wondering about Nelson's status. Nicknamed "the Thread" for all the topics started about his status and whereabouts, everyone had an opinion to give or inquiry to spout. "How's Reggie doing in 'JUCO?" one topic would read. "Reggie Nfelson: the next great Gator safety," read yet another topic, while he was trying to qualify for UF after two years at junior college. "UP fans just knew fiow good he was," said Jamie Newburg, ahecruiting analyst for Scout.com. "It lasteda to the end, and then he didn't qualify. Then, no one was sure he was going to make'it in school. So it always seemed like the UP fans were kind of hanging onto Reggiejust hoping." No one is really sure exactly when Nelson burst onto the Floridian football recruiting scene. It might have been that first big hit in the Pop Warner leagues, or perhaps it was his relentless motor in middle school. But when it came time for college recruiting, Nelson had options from the top college football powerhouses in the country. UF, Florida State, Louisiana State, Oklahoma and Miami all came knocking with scholarship offers. Seven games into his long-awaited first yar in Gainesville, it's been Nelson's bigJtime hitting and quiet smile that has the Gator Nation giddy. He is the one athlete that every self-proclaimed pundit had tabbed as an inevitable playmaker before his first scholarship offer had even been sent in the mail. Early Ascent to Humble Stardom At Palm Bay High in Melbourne, Coach Dan Burke was used to making his rounds to local feeder middle and elementary schools in hope of finding the next big prospect. The area had already produced quality athletes, such as current UF center Mike Degory. But when Burke made his first trip to scout young talent at Stone Middle, just down the street from Palm Bay, he knew he had witnessed an absolute player with the potential to be a true star. "Even as a high school, we would try to get out to the youth-league parks at least once or twice a year, and we noticed him immediately;" Burke said. "As a freshni'an player, he retuhied punts, but by the layoffs, he was already starting for us Ad making plays in the playakfs that year." His impact was immediate, even as a 155-pound, 14-year-old freshman linebacker. While most kids his age had their hands filled with avoiding the resident schoolyard bully, Nelson was becoming Melbourne's resident slash. Along with linebacker, he played wide receiver, safety and running back. He made plays at every position. "One thing that there isn't a shortage of with him is talent," Burke said. "I know Florida is struggling at receiver, and I think he could even be effective as a fifth receiver there because he's just the type of player that knows how to disrupt things on either sie of the ball." 'While Reggie's talents co~ud'be utilized on th offensive side of the field, his love of hitting. fuels him on/the defense. His accumulated,,stats inlfigh school led to a mountain of agoqlades. As a senior, he recorded 169 tackles 53 assists and 10 sacks on defense an caught 18 passes for 354 yards on offense. Na son registered 150 tackles ala junior. The Pirates won state tittks in 2000 and 2ha2, but the humble Nelson never was one to trash talk. "One thing with him is that success will never change him," Burke said. "He truly loves the game, starting or not, he's the type of kid that is willing to bide his time and help the team in any way possible." Same Place, New Face Nelson wouldn't make it to UF right away. Academic woes forced him to spend two years at Coffeyville Community College in Kansas. While the fans back home still remembered his name, Nelson was making sure he was on the path back to UP. He led the Red Ravens to a No. 3 ranking in the final 2004 NJCAA poll and recorded 72 tackles on the season while intercepting six passes. Finally, Nelson arrived in Gainesville this summer. Nelson wasn't made an immediate starter, but since the Gators have struggled to find consistency at free safety for much

SEC hps nge Cocktail Pary THE GATORS SEEM TO BE IN OSITION TO, REBOUND, AS GEORGIA'S8TAR QUARTERBACK IS SIDELINED WITH AN INJURY. By ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff Niter aa bra mson@a I Iigator.org Urban Meyer's Gators -take three. UF hasn't won either of its last two key Southeastern Conference games. So, the Gators are on the verge of a monumental collapse that could put the team in a late-December game that could be a downgrade from last year's Peach Bowl. After all the disappointment for Meyer and the Gators this season, a single victory against Georgia 'en Saturday would suddenly make UF a viable candidate for the SEC East crown. And with the Bulldogs' starting quarterback likely sidelined for the most important game in Meyer's UF career, the Gators seem to be inra preme position to leave Jacksonville's Alltel Stadium withsa victory. Then again, the Gators haven't exactlystepped it up when it's counted in recent seasons. "There's a lot at stake and a lot on the Inae," defensive end Jarvis Moss said. "We just have to come out ready Saturday and just play and have fun, and I think everything will take care of itself." The Gators enter this game losing two of their last, three games, with the one victory coming against Mississippi State, one of the worst teams in the SEC. The offense that was supposed to be UF's greatest strength this season has been practically nonexistent, and the Gators have struggled to adapt to Meyer's schemes that were so successful at Utah. Meanwhile, Georgia has steamrolled to an undefeated season and a No. 4 national ranking. But just as the Bulldogs expected to defeat the Gatoes in heck-to-hock seasons fee Ithe fleet time since the late 198Os, Georgia starting quarterback .1. Shockley went down with a knee injury last week against Arkansas. Now, it appears that the unheralded and relatively untested Joe Tereshinski III wl take the reins against a tough UF defense. So, with Georgia' main offensive weapon sidelined and UF's offense reeling, the first teamlo score on Saturday couldkecure a victory. y "We're still confident," said defensive endferemy Mincey. "This is ahig game, a big rivalry. the last couple years [prior to 20041], we've been tfing care of [Georgia]. Hopefully we can do it again. In recent seasons, this gegne hey bels no contest. UF has won all but two games in the series since 1990, although Georgia managed to defeat the Gators last year. But the Gators also know that the favored team -which, in this case, is UF -doesn't always win. Both in 2002 and 2003, Georgia was ranked in the top five in the nation, and the Gators were ranked in the 20s. However, both times UF managed to steal the victory from one of its most bitter rivals. "u flns expect bs to heel everybody, end that's what se need to sleet doing," defensive end Joe Cohen said. "We can't come out half stepping. We need to come out full speed at the beginning of the game and make plays."

This is not a complicatyd thing to do. They will remember Tate Casey is on the roster. They will give DeShawn Wynn the ball more than ever. IF, its offensive guards set for the first time this season with Tavares Washington and Steye Rissier, will do a halfway-decent ob of protecting Chris Leak. Things will be different than the Baton Rouge Snooze two weeks ago. And that's all you need to know. A mediocre offense is gopd enough to down Georgia, would have been enough to oust LSU. Meyer understands hI does not have the running quarterback that he needs for the spread to run at full steam. Yet, that doesn't mean he's foolish enough to force-feed Chris Leak with Tommie Fraier-like runs. "The jobof a coach is to adapt the system," Meyer said. "I've always said that there really isn't a system, that the system has to adapt to the personnel so that's what makes up the system, and I don't believe we've done a great job with flat." He will do a good enough job Saturday, and you heard it here first.

He will be no Charlie Weis. But he will be no Rick Pitino either. Is this a foolish stance to take? Probably. Is the same person who picked UP to land in the Rose Bowl this season exploring the wilderness of the naive? Sure, but only a little bit. If there's anything that covering the Gators for the past two seasons teaches you, it is to expect the unexpected. Never start typing your story until the referees leave the field. Never assume anything with any kind of Gators offense in 'any kind of formation. Basically, stay away from UF while in Vegas, or you might be applying for the Hurricane Meyer Relief Fund. But,this game, it is different. There are too many intangibles going UF's way; they all begin with Urban and end with ,Meyer. You think Jerehy Foley chose Urban Meyer instead 0g "teve Spurrier for kicks, that he did it by accident? You think transforming Bowling Green and Utah from curling schools to football programs was a freak aberrationof nature? Meyer is a smart, smart man. OI, so he has looked more like a Birmingham Barons Michael Jordan than Einstein thus far. But there's a reason why Meyer hasn't slept since the Louisiana State game. He cannot accept failure.

ALLIGATOR E FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2005 K6udi How They atch Up 0 [ FLORIDA RUN vs GERi Ii DEFENSE: Florida rushes for 146.6 yards per game; UGA allows 109.0 yards rushing per game. KEY PLAYERS: UF: Jr. TB DeShawn Wynn (76 att.-358 yds., 4.7 avg., 7 TDs), Fr. TB Markus Manson (26149, 5.6, 0) UGA: Jr. LB Jarvis Jackso (40 tackles-20 solo), Jr. LB Danny Verdun Wheeler (38-30) n ANALYSIS: It took about two-thirds of a season, but Wynn finally played his way into a permanent starting role against LSU. Georgia's run defense ranks just fifth in the SEC, and Wynn proved he could run against quality SEC defenses, gaining98 yards on 16 carries against LSU. ADVANTAGE: Florida FLORIDA PASS vs. DEFENSE: Florida passes for 236.6 yards per game; UGA allows 183.9 yards passing per game. KEY PLAYERS: UF: Jr. QB Chris Leak (1,575 yds.,.10 TDs-4 INTs, 58.9 pct., 132.4 rating), Jr. Chad Jackson (52 rec., 558 yds., 10.7 avg., 6 TDs); Jr. Dallas Baker (32, 431, 13.5, 2) UGA: Sr. FS Greg Blue (57 tackles41 solo), Jr. ROV Tra Battle (43-25) ANALYSIS: Going up against a tough Georgia secondary isn't exactly the perfect remedy for a reeling UF TM offense. The Gators have yet to prove they can pass against a top SEC defense. vS. FLORIDA RUN DEFENSE: UGA rushes for 170.0 yards per game; Florida allows 95.9 yards rushing per game. KEY PLAYERS: UGA: So. TB Thomas Brown (81 att.-432 yds., 5.3 avg., 2 TDs), So. TB Danny Ware (63302, 4.0, 8) UF: So. LB Brandon Siler (40 tackles-19 solo), Jr. LB Earl Everett (42-21) ANALYSIS: This is the second consecutive game the Gators face a team with two tailbacks capable TM of serious damage. Brown and Ware are dangerous players, and both will carry theload with QB D.J. Shockley out for the game. A vs. FLORIDA PASS DEFENSE: Georgia passes for 250.1 yards per game; Florida allows 176.0 yards passing per game. KEY PLAYERS: UGA: Jr. QB Joe Tereshinski (207 yds., 0 TDs-1 NT, 56.5 pct., 123.4 rating), Sr. WR Bryan McClendon (20 rec., 287 yds., 14.4 avg., 2 TDs), Jr. TE Leonard Pope (17, 262, 15.4, 1), UF: Sr. CB Vernell Brown (30 tackles-23 solo) Sr. SS Jarvis Herring (26-18) ANALYSIS: Shockley's out, and UF's secondary is salivating at the thought of going up against Tereshinski Reggie Nelson has moved from cornerback to free safety, which could solve UF's problem at that position. The Gators' passing defense has been solid all season. ADVANTAGE: Florida SPECIAL TEAMS: FLORIDA KEY PLAYERS: Jr. Kicker Chris Hetland (8-8, 47 long) Sr. Punt Returner, Vernell Brown (22 att., 6.0 avg., 22 long) UGA: So. Kicker Brandon Coutu (16-19, 58), Jr. Punter Gordon Ely-Kelso (29 att., 42.6 avg., 60 long) ANALYSIS: Hetland's perfect field goal season is impressive, but Coutu's attempted more than double the amount of field goals and completed all but three -including a 58-yarder. UF's special teams is solid, but TM the Gators are still struggling in punt and kick returns. INTANG BLES: The stars must have aligned Urban Meyer's way this week, because just when he needed something to go right for the Gators, Georgia quarterback D.J. Shockley goes down and UF's hopes sky-rocketed. This should be old-fashioned SEC football: a low scoring, smash-mouth game with a ton of defense. And the Gators should do just enough to prevail.
