Buses



may run



Sunday

By LYNDSEY LEWIS

Ilewis@alligator.org

Starting Fall 2006, UF students
may finally have access to city-bus
service seven days a weel< after the
Transportation Access Fee Committee
voted finanimously in favor of a mo-
tion to extend Regional Transit System
services to include Sundays.
The motion, which was proposed
during the committee's Tuesday
afternoon meeting, calls for a tuition-
funded Transportation Fee increase of
57 cents per credit hour,
Student raising students' total
Life transportation costs 'from.
$4.24 to $4.81 per credit
hour.
"I think all of us (on the commit-
tee) could explain the increase in fees'
by saying the services and enhance-
ments are necessary," said committee
Chairman Bob Miller.
In addition to Sunday bus service,
the committee's proposal includes
provisions that will extend other RTS
services on certain routes with high
triderships.
Later Gator A, an evening route
which circulates between the Reitz
Union and the Downtown Community
Plaza on Wednesdays through
Saturday, will add an additional bus
by Fall to accommodate new service
hours on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Bus routes 20, 12, 35 and 13, which
are heavily utilized, will also see be-
tween four and 10 hours of extended
service time by next Fall.
"RTS is the fourth largest bus ser-
vice in the state," Miller said. "We're

Panel, mother address race issues


By DIANA MAZZELLA
Alligator Writer
dmazzella@alligator.org

A part of Gainesville was
in New York City on Tuesday
night.


- About 200 people heard
how Amadou Diallo, an im-
migrant from Guinea who was
working to, pay for his educa-
tion, was killed by four white
police officers in 1999 in the
Bronx.


His mother, Kadiatou
Diallo, told his story and
suggested how the problems
of racial profiling and police
brutality can be solved during
a speech at Emerson Alumni
Hall.


Kadiatou Diallo discusses her son's death at an event hosted by the Institute of Black Culture in
Emerson Alumni Hall. Diallo has become a national spokeswoman against racial profiling.


"There is not a single day
that will go by without me
thinking of my son Amadou,"
Diallo said.
He was shot 19 times by
police, she said.
"The four officers who dis-
charged their guns that night
thought they had found a
rapist they were after," stated
the program from the forum.
"Amadou was unarmed and
carrying only a wallet and a
pager."
She said he "never stood
a chance" because the police
officers did not see him as hu-
man.
At the time he was killed, he
had $9,000 saved up and was
enrolled in college, she said.
After the news of her son's
death, Diallo trekked to New
York to find justice, but said
she was unsuccessful.
She said the four officers
were not convicted in a crimi-
nal court, though an apology
was issued.
Diallo. said her son's mes-
sage to her today would be
. "Mom, I deserve to Jive. Why
wasn't I given the chance?"
A panel of UF employees
and a representative from
Gainesville Police presented
their views on the issues be-
hind her son's death and took
questions from the audience.

Students return to South Fla. aftermath


By KIMBERLY GOUZ
Alligator Contributing Writer

Prepared to battle food lines, gas short-
ages and curfews, dozens of UF students
made the six-hour trek to South Florida on
GMG Transport to help their families clean
up Hurricane Wilma's mess.-
"I was surprised to see all the trees and
fences down," said Michelle Arrazcaeta,
a first-year advertising major from West
Kendall. "When I was driving north (toward
Broward County), all of the traffic lights
were out. There were cops everywhere to

Arrazcaeta said her family received

tural damage to her house
was minimal. -
She said her friends in
nearby Coral Springs got

Wilma others in Broward might be

According to a Florida

Collegiate wrestler boasts strength all his own


By OLIVIA ORMOS
Alligator Contributing Writer
Kyle Maynard was the world's strongest
teenager.
Despite being born with incomplete
limbs, he bench-pressed 240 pounds even
before he became a champion wrestler for
the University of Georgia.
Maynard spoke to a crowd of more than
800 in the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom on
Tuesday night about how he learned to live
with his rare deformity and excel at nearly
everything he has attempted
On through positive thinking.
Campus "I've tried to live my life
without excuses, having a pos-
itive attitude and not giving
up," Maynard said. "My parents wanted
to treat me as normal, and that is the way
I see myself."
As a child, Maynard, who suffers from a
disorder called congenital amputation, felt
that prosthetic arms and legs only impaired
him. He realized he didn't need extra bag-
gage such as the spoon he would wrap
around his arm.
Maynard said his grandmother would
take him to the grocery store, make him say
hello to people and shake their hands.
He recalled a time in church camp when
he and his friends pulled a prank on beach-
goers by putting ketchup on his limbs and
faking a shark attack.
Everyone has obstacles to overcome,
Maynard said, but they can overcome any-
thing regardless of what it is.


"My heroes are the people that provide
service for others, like soldiers, people who
provide for disaster victims and the environ-
ment, police officers or anyone who shares
their time to help other people," he said.
He said wrestling taught him about
work ethic and feels blessed to be a part of
it. To this'day, he has never been pinned.
"I wanted to become state champion se-
nior year, and I gave up hanging out with
friends to practice," he said. "I was totally
focused, and I wanted to be there and the one
sitting up on the podium with the medal."
Local Buchholz High School wrestling
team was in the audience, having skipped
practice to hear Maynard's speech.
"He's a big influence and gives us in-
spiration to try harder," said team member
Drew Carlton, 14. "It's so amazing how he
overcame so many obstacles and became
such a great wrestler. You can kind of relate
it to life, and [it] gives you hope."
The audience circled in, standing on
chairs to watch Maynard demonstrate
his favorite wrestling moves, especially
his jawbreaker, a move he uses to try to
separate his opponent's jaw using the end
of his arm.
UF freshman Paul Mahle, Maynard's
demonstration partner, said Maynard was
strong, quick and did most of the normal
wrestling moves in a modified way.
"Wrestling him was a humbling experi-
ence, and every high school wrestler knows
who he is, and the coaches use him for
motivation," Mahle said. "If that was a real
match, it would have been a good match."


After his speech, Kyle Maynard signs books and chats outside the Reitz Union Grand Ball-
room. Though he was born with a rare disorder, he has become a champion athlete.
Maynard said he likes to remember "Everyone has got to pull the cookie out
there-are ways to get around any obstacle, of the jar, and I just had to learn a different

Like a rolling stone, Gainesville man stays on course


* TEENAGE INJURY DOESN'T KEEP
HIM FROM WORK, ENJOYING LIFE.

By HEATHER RAPP
Alligator Contributing Writer

Most wouldn't expect to find a poster of
blonde female wrestlers in white G-strings on
the wall of a nursing home.
Then again, at 38 years old, Michael Dubois
isn't a typical nursing-home resident.
Dubois has lived at University Place Care
and Rehab Center since he was a teenager.
"I took a dare that I shouldn't have done,"
Dubois said of the accident that left him
paralyzed. "But when you're 16, you do crazy
things."
He dove off a dock headfirst with his
hands behind his back into a lake that was 5
feet deep.
He broke his neck, and is confined to a
wheelchair with minimal movement in his
arms.
But while the accident shattered his verte-
brae, his life remains intact.
Dubois said he loves his position as a
customer-service specialist at Target in Butler
Plaza. For 10 years, the Fargo, N.D., native has
answered phones, checked prices and assisted
customers.
"In helping us all keep an upbeat, positive
attitude, he's fantastic," said Target assistant
manager Chad Williams.
Since 1990, Dubois has volunteered at two
local schools. With no children of his own, he
affectionately calls the pupils his "kids."
He is a teacher's aide at Lawton Chiles
Elementary School and an assistant physical-
education coach at Kimball Wiles Elementary
School.
John Stobbie, Lawton Chiles' physical-
education coach, said Dubois offers the kids
words of encouragement during their mile
run, recalling his days as a high-school track

Though confined to a wheelchair, Michael Dubois works at Target, as well as with
children at Lawton Chiles and Kimball Wiles elementary schools.


Another series of photographs also keeps
the soft-spoken man company: that of his
nurse and friend, Heidi Grant.
"She's been a mom to me since I lost mine
back in '87," he said.
He said Grant is attending UF to become
a licensed registered nurse. With few visitors
and no family he can turn to, she is an impor-
tant part of his life.
Dubois' father died in March, and he said
his three brothers and two sisters in Ocala
have all but forgotten about him.
"They usually only call me if they want
something," he said.
His family isn't the only place he's ostra-
cized, he said.
"Some people treat me the same and other
people like you've got a disease," Dubois said.
"They look at you funny."
People driving by will often lean out the
window to curse at him in his wheelchair.
But Dubois said he's doing just fine.
He uses his Jazzy brand motorized wheel-
chair to visit the Oaks MIlall or Butler Plaza
several times a week, though Dubois discov-
ered that 6 1/2 mph doesn't always carry him
across intersections fast enough.
On July 25, Dubois was hit by a car as he
traveled down 34th Street. He was flung from
his wheelchair and broke both his legs.
The 10-second crosswalk lights might be
adequate for able-bodied individuals, but
they're too short for others, he said.
"It needs to be at least 30 seconds or so,"
Dubois said, "because it takes that long for a
wheelchair to get across."
He said his lawyer plans to speak with city
officials about making this change.
Despite his daily battles, he still finds hope
in his surroundings.

Members volunteer

with local children

By STEPHANIE RODRIGUEZ
Alligator Writer
srodriguez@alligator.org

Living in a neighborhood full of drugs,
abuse, neglect and poor education is com-
mon for the kids Annie McKoy sees every
day.
As executive director of Gainesville's
Phoenix Center, McKoy said she was thrilled
when members of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity
volunteered to'play kickball with the cen-
ter's'underprivileged children.
The community- center, located at 3412
S$W 26th Terrace, helps keep children and
teenagers off the streets by offering comput-
er and arts-and-crafts classes and tutoring,
among other after-school activities.
Iota Phi Theta plays a tremendous role
in helping McKoy with mentoring the boys
and girls at the center, fraternity member
Rafael Dominguez said.
"A lot of the kids' parents are usually
working two or three jobs, and this is a
good place for them to come rather than
stay home by themselves;" Dominguez
said.
As a. regular volunteer, Dominguez
spends time reading-to 9-year-old Eunice
Bray. Eunice said he helps her get good
grades.
"They make me feel happy," Eunice said
of the fraternity members. "It's fun when,
I play games and they let me be on the
team."


Dominguez said the fraternity has been
volunteering for two years twice a month to
set a good example for the kids.
Another organization that lends a
hand to the center is the Family Christian
Association of America, a nonprofit organi-
zation, which sponsors the center by paying
its rent.
"I appreciate the help I get from fra-
ternities and other groups because
the city does not provide money to
employ staff."
Annie McKoy
executive director, Phoenix Center


However, FCAA does not provide funds
for outside activities, such as bowling and
skating, that McKoy and other volunteers do
with the children.
McKoy pays for some events out of'her
own pocket.
"I appreciate the help I get from fraterni-
ties and other groups because the city does
not provide money to employ staff," McKoy
said. "I'm glad to see that there are people
who care."
McKoy, who volunteers three hours a day
at the center, adopted two girls from a moth-
er whose parental privileges were revoked.
"I want to see as many kids as possible
have the opportunity of a good life and to
grow up to be good citizens," McKoy said.
"If I had the money and a bigger place, I
would take all the kids home."
McKoy said she had to adopt the girls be-
cause she saw how bad their situation was,
and she wanted to save them from it.

GRU gets green energy nod


By JESSICA RIFFEL
Alligator Writer
jriffel@alligator.org

Some UF students paint themselves orange
and blue for football games, but for a game
against Florida State University two years ago,
a group of students went green.
Gainesville Regional Utilities had the stu-
dents advertise its green-energy program in
2003 with green body and hair paint and GRU
T-shirts.
For marketing techniques such as the green
students, direct mailings, newspaper advertise-
ments and bumper stickers, GRU received a
national award in Texas last week.
GRU Marketing Specialist Margaret
Crawford accepted the Green Power Beacon
Award for the marketing of the GRUgreen
Energy program, which seeks to promote
the consumption of energy from renewable

it needs to go a lot further a lot faster," he said.
GRU deserves the awards for its efforts, he

Editorial


Grisly politics

Images of fetuses

degrade discussion
Walking to class has become entirely too boring for
the Editorial Board. It's all trees, squirrels and
Hare Krishnas.
To mix it up a bit, there's one thing we would love to
make a permanent fixture on campus. We feel this would
really add to meaningful conversations between students.
How about more signs of dead, bloody fetuses? And
could we dismember them, just to make the photos a little
more interesting? And why don't we manipulate their body
parts into certain poses to make it more artistic?
The Reproductive "Choice" Campaign came to
Gainesville on Tuesday, showcasing these tactics and re-
minding us just how physically sick we are of the abortion
argument's extremism.
Publicly displaying graphic images of aborted fetuses
on trucks and airplane banners is hardly an intelligent way
to garner support. Instead, it tu.iers the gap between the
anti-abortion and abortion-rights movements by disgusting
everyone.
Those-fighting to end abortion should be angrier at this
effort than those fighting to keep abortion legal. Forcing
such imagery on the general public reeks more of righteous
extremism than of thoughtful discussion.
The campaign is the creation of the Center for Bio-Ethical
Reform, an organization that claims to fight for "the right to
life for the unborn, the disabled, the infirm, the aged and all
vulnerable peoples through education."
But its Web site only mentions 'campaigns that focus
on abortion. One project involves placing large images of
fetuses with quoted scripture near churches not actively
fighting abortion.
Who is this going to help?
Organizers claim the campaign is a success but admit
their tactics are unpopular. Following the misleading
fashion of politics, they measure success by the number of
people visiting their Web site.
Many who visit the site do so .for the same reason they
visit various other Web sites exhibiting gruesome pictures:
morbid curiosity. That doesn't equal support.
Lobbying groups must begin to realize that campaigns
don't work like advertisements. Shocking does not sell be-
liefs; shocking sells shoes and cars.
We're further disturbed by the apparent secrecy that sur-
rounds the photos. After perusing numerous newspaper ar-
ticles on the group, we couldn't find a detailed explanation of
how the photos were obtained. Some articles quoted leaders
of the groups refusing to reveal their sources, instead insist-
ing they got them from unnamed abortion clinics.
If you're going to claim these pictures are fetuses of very
specific ages (every photo includes an age in weeks), then
it's in your best interest to reveal where you got them.
It sounds as if these people illegally obtained them, or
perhaps even doctored them. Is that ethical?
Such extreme measures aren't needed in an already fierce-
ly heated debate. This effort seems more like an opportunity
to enact revenge on "sinners" than to educate the public.
Showing children such images is not constructive.
And selling T-shirts and business cards with pictures of
the fetuses furthers the notion that this group capitalizes on
the macabre rather than adds to the discussion.

Democrats must start asking what they can do for America


John F. Kennedy once said, "Ask not what
your country can do for you but what you
can do for your country."
In the past century, these are arguably
great words uttered by a Democrat. Unless
of course, you are partial to, "I feel your
pain." However, looking at the. state of my
party, it seems as though these words are lost
on Democrats. In fact, the motto these days
might as well be, "Ask not what your country
can do for you ... but, wait, what else is there?
I forget."
Our party is split down the middle, half
demanding with clenched fists that its needs
be met while the other half feels its pain.
Ours used to be the party that asked what


Mike Belle the most crucial needs
Speaking Out 'of our fellow Americans
were and how we could
help.
Now those who strong-arm our party ask,
"What are the issues that concern me, and
how can I get other Americans to care?"
Sadly, I'm almost as afraid to stand up to
the female lobby in my party as I am of the
corporations that back the Republican Party.
But it's time for one of us to say something.
Forty-four million Americans have no
healthcare, no way of protecting themselves
from a lifetime of physical suffering. The poor-
est of our working poor see their pay stay the
same every year while their dollars become


less and less valuable. They are now choosing
between a roof over their head, transportation
to work, food to keep them on their feet and
medicine to keep them alive.
Roe v. Wade has been decided for more
than 30 years and re-decided dozens of times
since. But when the war drums beat in our
party, when fear drives us to the polls, it is
still this issue. For my entire life, it has been
this issue that defines the Democratic Party, 'as
if America would be heaven on earth as long
as women can have abortions through the end
of time.
Even the women of our nation must long
for something greater. After all, 48 percent of
women voted with the Republicans in 2004,


and they aren't offering anything to anyone.
Women of the Democratic Party, our fate is
in your hands. I humbly ask you: When will
this be over? For how long will Republicans
be allowed to ring this Pavlovian bell to see
all Democrats foam at the mouth? When will
Roosevelt's great words, "We have nothing to
fear but fear itself," ring true instead? When
can we turn our attention to the visionary
heights of which John and Bobby Kennedy
eloquently spoke?
When will you stop asking us what to do
for you and ask what you can do'for the rest
of our nation?

Letters to the Editor
Republicans not all extremists
Throughouthis column Monday,
Matt Melone contrasts Republicans
with liberals. Given the tone of the
piece, I don't know if this was done
for effect, if this reflects Melone's
considered views on the way po-
litical views line up in the United,
States or if it was a slip. It is worth
pointing out, however, that this is
an inaccurate and, I think, harm-
ful way of characterizing our
political divisions. One can point
to obvious exceptions like Sen. Joe
Lieberman (a hawkish Democrat,
who, if he doesn't qualify as a con-
servative in Melone's sense, is defi-
nitely not a liberal) and Sen. Arlen
Specter (a moderate Republican,


much to his discredit in the eyes
of his conservative colleagues),
though I don't think that these sorts
of "cross-category" political posi-
tions are all that uncommon.
This, kind of categorization has
the destructive effect of reinforc-
ing the widely held opinion that
the Republican Party is just a party
for conservatives. That may reflect
a wish of Melone's, but I think it's
neither accurate nor healthy for the
party. Regardless of one's political
views, one shouldn't hope for the
political parties in the United States
to be so narrowly defined, given our
commitment to a two-party system.
Additionally, as a Republican
partisan, I would expect Melone


would not want to char

BURYING KATRINA'S HATCHET


UF professor

aided cleanup

By ASHTON GROSZ
Alligator Writer

Once the storms passed and the
waters receded, Mississippi families
gathered in cemeteries among the
displaced burial plots and tried to
identify bones scattered about de-
molished caskets.
As the man overseeing portable
morgues for the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, Jason Byrd
understood their concerns.
"That was almost as much stress
on families, knowing someone is
deceased, and now their burial plot
is just gone," Byrd said. "[Even
more so] than having a member of
the family gone."
However, once the team ex-
plained FEMA's intentions to restore
remains to their proper caskets, Byrd
said people were generally satisfied
and even willing to tell the workers
what clothes and casket their rela-
tives were buried in.
Such descriptions made it easier
for workers to match scattered parts
and for Byrd to do his job as the chief
of operations for FEMA's Disaster
Mortuary Operational Response
Teams.
In late September, the forensic en-
tomologist and UF professor spent
two-and-a-half weeks in .Gulfport
and Biloxi, Miss., two cities ravaged
by hurricanes Katrina and Rita.


.
Danny Ghitis/Alligator
Professor Jason Byrd answers questions during a forensic anthropology exam. Byrd put his knowledge
to the test in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, where he helped identify remains.


His duties included recovering
cemeteries, identifying human re-
mains, patrolling beaches for corpses
washed up on shore and assisting
teams with missing-person reports.
Among the chaos Byrd saw
was downtown Gulfport, which
was peppered with more than 50
Chiquita Banana trucks that blew in
from the port.


In one small community, three
400-foot barges traveled a quarter of
a mile inland before they stopped.
"You know, you wake up in the
morning and basically see an ocean-
going vessel in your front yard,"
Byrd said.
While working there, he saw
hundreds of locals camped outside
their homes.


In some places, infrastructure
was so badly damaged that workers
could not get to families to retrieve
remains.
"We had situations where people
basically stayed with their deceased
relative or spouse or whatever for
days," he said.-
It was an emotionally stressful
environment where people toler-


ated as much as they could handle
without breaking down, he said.
It was Byrd's sixth disaster
response and worst in terms of
devastation.
He said he received an average
of 20 reports a day, and the death
toll has reached 1,200 to date.
However, that number is far
less than the tens of thousands
predicted dead immediately after
Katrina.
At the onset, there was a real-
ization that as many as 100 sets
of remains would need to be pro-
cessed each day within each of the
portable morgues if the death toll
reached its original estimates.
Quadrupling the output of
the portable morgues, which are
designed to process about 25 bod-
ies in 12 hours, was "a complete
impossibility with the federal re-
sources that currently exist," Byrd
said.
Had the initial death toll materi-
alized, he said it's likely that, for the
first time ever, the country would
have had to dig mass graves.
Byrd wQrked from 4 a.m. to 10
p.m., but he said the rougher the
conditions for the 1,500 FEMA
workers in Mississippi, the higher
the morale.
Until tents arrived, the team
slept on racks in refrigerated trucks
designed to store remains where
temperatures inside reached 38
degrees.
"To do the job you have to have
a certain disposition; a -sense of
humor. That's sort of your protec-
tive mechanism for what you do,"
he said.

Lance Dalton didn't live long
enough to graduate from UF, but

Dalton died at the age of 20 after
a final relapse of Ewing's sarcoma, a

Although Dalton only lived

family pay medical bills in late 2003.
"Lance was the type of person
you wish everyone had a chance
to meet," said Brian Lorenzetti, 23,
Dalton's former roommate and one
of the auction's founders. "Lance re-
ally had a passion for helping others.
This auction is one way for people to
come together for that passion."
Lorenzetti and fellow mem-
bers got the idea for the auction in
October 2003 while walking through
the Reitz Union on their way back
from visiting Dalton, who was re-
ceiving treatment at Shands at UF.
Dalton was very involved in the
dub and had served as treasurer be-
-fore relapsing.
"He didn't really care about
his pain," Lorenzetti said. "He just

taken care of."
In three-and-a-half weeks and
with little experience coordinating
auctions, the club members gathered
donated items, arranged the auction
and raised more than $5,000 for
Dalton's family.
After the auction, the club pre-
sented the money it raised to the
family at the hospital.
"It was an amazing moment,"
Lorenzetti said.

Three members of "zero3: stage and spoken

Notes for profit


may violate law


By JESSICA GAVILAN
Alligator Contributing Writer

Note-taking companies of-
fer a way for students to catch
up on classes they may have
missed for a price.
But some professors are
upset with companies such
as Einstein's Notes and
Smokin' Notes, saying the
companies exploit their work
for profit.
"These are facts, theories
and concepts that the profes-
sor has learned and studied,
and in many cases researched
and published," said
Laurence B. Alexander, Law
of Mass Communications
professor. "Taking it as is
and reselling it is a violation
of that person's intellectual
property."
Alexander said he feels no
harm would be done if the
note-taking companies put to-
gether their own notes to sell
to students.
"They simply go into the
classroom and take the work
that has already been done by.
the professor and resell it," he
said. "They're not contribut-
ing anything to it."
Note-taking companies are
potentially violating the copy-
right of a professor's work by
getting it for free and reselling
it at a profit without permis-


sion, Alexander said.
"If you really want to
be honest about it, seek the
professor's permission before
you take the theories and
research that they're using,"
he said.
However, one local note-
taking company has been
speaking with professors
about their practices.
Ryan Dix, the creator of
Smokin' Notes, said his note-
taking staffhas established a
good relationship with almost
all of the professors of the
seven business classes they
deal with.
"We talk with many of
them on a weekly basis and
check in with them periodi-
cally," Dix said. "It's an im-
portant relationship for us to
have."
Dix said his company dif-
fers from others because more
time, attention, money and
resources are spent to put its
notes together.
Rather than having just one
student take notes, Smokin'
Notes has an entire team for
each class the company offers,
consisting of several students
and a specialist with extensive
knowledge in the area.
"We do a lot of fact-check-
ing," he said. "There are a lot
of steps in the process."

Senate urged


to represent

By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org

A Florida politician told Student Senate on
Tuesday night that it holds a "sacred trust"
with UF students and that it should overlook
party politics to fight for those without a voice.
Secretary of the Florida Agency for Health
Care Administration Alan Levine, a UF alum-
nus and former student senator, said UF's stu-
dent legislative body is similar to the state's.
"Once you enter public service, you rep-
resent everyone," he said, calling UF a micro-
cosm of society.
Levine also said Florida is prepared for the
avian flu. "I don't foresee it becoming a prob-
lem in Florida," he said.
Student "I'd keep watching the
Government news on that though."
In other Senate news, a
Graduate Student Council bill asking Senate
for $20,000 to increase conference grants for
Spring 2006 passed the first of two readings,
"We don't have the money to keep up with
the demand," said former Graduate Student
Council president Mike Bowen.
The money would be used to fund 80 travel
grants at $250 each, adding to the already
$100,000 budget. Bowen said a typical confer-
ence costs $971 in travel expenses, and most
students pay the full amount.
About 380 grants were allocated during fis-
cal year 2004-05, but this year 400 grants have
already been budgeted.
Bowen said a student can only have one
grant each year from the fund.
Academic departments often tout the sup-
port given to students during recruitment.
Also at Senate, Student Body President
Joe Goldberg announced the gym wipes that
Student Government promised for UF's recre-
ational facilities are available for use.
Next Tuesday, Senate will meet at the Levin
College of Law in Room 180.


Panelists criticize methods, motives of law enforcement in Gainesville


DIALLO, from page 1


Professor Kenneth B. Nunn of the Levin
College of Law asked audience members
to think about how they would feel if their
relatives were in a foreign country and
were killed by the police.
William D. Mercer Jr., a Student Legal
Services assistant general counsel, said he
thinks a contributing factor to these issues


is that police either do not know the law or
choose not to follow it.
UF law professor Michelle Jacobs said
much of police misbehavior is intentional.
Officers act one way in Haile Plantation
and another in downtown Gainesville.
GPD Capt. Tony Jones said beneficial
changes have been made in the department
since he started working there in 1975.
Now Gainesville has a "full-service
community-oriented policing strategy"'


and officers attend regular meetings with
the community.
He told attendees who expressed com-
plaints against the department to report
them and discuss them with him or another
appropriate government official.
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and
Transgendered Affairs Director Tamara
Cohen said she participated in a demon-
stration in New York City after Diallo was
killed.


She said individuals should pursue jus-
tice and that she hopes community action
can occur before a tragedy.
UF sociology' professor Karen Parker
said minorities are needed in the criminol-
ogy field.
Nunn said a larger issue is behind the
problems of racial profiling and police
brutality.
"The main problem is racism in
America," he said.


New bus services may require additional fees out of UF students' pockets


TRANSPORT, from page 1,

leading Gainesville into a level of
service that they've never had be-
fore."
Along with that service, howev-
er, come additional costs for UF stu-
dents, many of which require them
to pay for services that are also
frequently utilized by Gainesville's
residential population.
Some of the 10 Sunday bus
routes proposed by RTS will
run through areas that are not
densely populated by students,
as pointed out by Miller at an-
other Transportation Access Fee
Committee meeting Monday.


"I slept on that last night, and
I didn't like it at all," said Student
Body Treasurer and committee
member Lindsay Cosimi. "I couldn't
live with myself (if students were
paying for other Gainesville resi-
dents' bus services)."
However, Miller emphasized
that after a brief lead-in period of
one or two years, RTS will begin
funding a portion of the services.
"We want the city to step up and
take their fair share after two years,"
he said. "[Two years] certainly gives
them plenty of time to begin that
planning process."
Additionally, the committee will
apply for a grant from the Florida
Department of Transportation to


"I slept on that last night,
and I didn't like it at all. I
couldn't live with myself (if
students were paying for
other Gainesville residents'
bus services)."
Lindsay Cosimi
Student Body treasurer

help fund Sunday bus services, but
a representative from RTS empha-
sized Monday that there is no guar-
antee DOT will honor the group's
request.
If DOT officials choose to comply
and grant money for extended bus
services, the maximum: amount it


will allocate for the service is ap-
proximately $160,000, or half of its
total cost of $312,635.
Even if the grant is received, UF
students still will pay an additional
57 cents per credit hour in trans-
portation fees by Fall 2006, which
Inter-Residehce Hall Association
President and committee member
EJ Walicki said "is pretty much
average."
Miller added that although the
fee raise may seem drastic, it's rea-
sonable considering the rising costs.
of gas and the various new services
it will fund.
"You remember last year (when)
very little, if anything, was added,"
he said.


If the committee had decided
against funding new services, the
fee would still have been raised by
37 cents to accommodate rising gas
prices and other regular costs, Miller
said.
Unlike other student fees, the
Transportation Access Fee is not
regulated by Florida statutes and
thus is not subject to increase
limitations like the 95-cent cap
on Athletic, Health and Activity
& Service fees.
UF's Board of Trustees, the
university's highest governing
body, will review the proposal
and determine whether the
committee's recommended fee
increase will be instated.

AIDS forum speakers offer hope after diagnosis


* SPEAKER ENCOURAGE
EDUCATION, CAUTION.

By KATE WILKINSON
Alligator Contributing Writer

Seventeen years on crack co-
caine, seven trips to rehab, five years
of prostitution, an abusive husband,
losing her children and several jail
sentences feature in Patricia Colson's
life story.
But there is hope in her future,
she said, because she has AIDS. The
disease gave her a reason to turn her


life around and share her experience
with others.
She said her life's purpose now is
telling people it is possible to have
.a normal and productive life while
living with AIDS.
"I'm doing it," Colson said. "I'm
doing it."
Colson was one of five speakers
who took part in a forum called
"AIDS: Not just a statistic" held in
the Graham Hall recreation room
Tuesday afternoon.
The forum emphasized AIDS
education to the about 50 people in
attendance.


Colson said she broke from her
cocaine addiction after she tested
HIV positive in 2001. Later, she be-
came a devout Christian.
C.J. Merrill, a real estate agent,
said he found out he had HIV in
1987 and has been dealing with the
disease since. He said
On living daily with high
CampUS drug dosages and
closely monitoring his
health has been difficult.
"There were times I was taking
up to 30 or 33 pills over a day's pe-
riod," Merrill said.
Americans have a false sense of


security about AIDS, he said. They
shouldn't ignore the disease and say,
"It's not going to happen to me." .
He emphasized the importance
of having safe sex and using con-
doms in order to prevent the spread
of AIDS. Many students think using
a condom is awkward at first, but it
becomes easier, he said.
"It's like riding a bicycle. Once
you get used to it, it's not hard at all,"
Merrill said as the crowd cheered.
People are always going to have
sex because it's fun, said Michael
Rajner, who was diagnosed with
AIDS 10 years ago. He encouraged


the audience to make a habit of
wearing condoms.
"Make a game out of it, make
it fun, make it interesting," said
Rajner, who is sexually active.
Angela Pretto, a mother and
grandmother, has lived with AIDS
for 23 years. When she was first
diagnosed, she said discrimination
from healthcare professionals and
the community occurred every day.
She credited God with giving
her the mission of educating people
about AIDS so she can give others
hope that they can live even if they
have been diagnosed.


STUDENT LIFE

UF students honor life, death on Mexican holiday


By CASSIDY MILLS
Alligator Contributing Writer

The Day of the Dead is alive in Gainesville.
El Dia de los Muertos in Spanish, The
Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday cel-
ebrated Tuesday and today that honors both,
the lives and deaths of deceased relatives
and friends.
The MexicanAmerican StudentAssociation
will host an event to commemorate the holiday
tonight at 7 at the Institute of Hispanic-Latino
Cultures, also known as La Casita.
The event will feature dancing skeletons, a
luminary service, food and music.
Zannon Garza, MASA president, said al-


though the holiday is in remembrance of the
dead, it is a celebration of life.
"It's hard for people to understand how we
can celebrate death," Garza said. "But there is
a time for mourning, and the main purpose of
the event is to end the mourning and celebrate
the life that person had."
Garza said the holiday is especially mean-
ingful to her this year because a member of her
family died recently.
"My mother's family is still in Mexico, and
they will honor the date," she said. "It's special
because we'll be celebrating on the same day-
but in different countries."
Garza said enthusiasm for the event has
increased since last year, and the addition


"We want to get people who are
not Mexican to attend so that they
can learn and understand what
the holiday is about."
Zannon Garza
MASA president

of a luminary service has encouraged more
participation.
Garza said the service is important to the
community because it symbolizes the lives'
that were lost in the Gainesville area.
Garza stressed the event is for students
from all cultural backgrounds.


"We want to get people who are not
Mexican to attend so that they can learn and
understand what the holiday is about," she
said.
Anai Nava, vice president of MASA, said
college students from other backgrounds
appreciate the holiday even if they do not
understand it.
Nava's grandfather died this year, so the
holiday takes on a new significance, she said.
She said the occasion is something she en-
joys because it's like a party.
"You never see anyone crying," Nava said.
"People may be sad that their loved ones aren't
there, but everyone is still happy because those
who passed away aren't suffering."

Defensive tackle finds friend in belly

THOMAS CREDITS IMPROVED DE- .
FENSE TO SPECIAL 12th MAN.

By ERIC ESTEBAN
Alligator Staff Writer
eesteban@alligator.org

The Gators' defense might want to be careful ..
about being penalized for too many men on the .'
field because Marcus Thomas has been playing
with an extra little buddy his belly.
In fact the belly has become a separate per- ..
son. Just call him Scoop, Thomas' preferred i "
nickname.
"Players were [making fun of me] trying to .'. ?.
tell me how big I had. gotten, calling me 'fat
boy' and everything," said Thomas, a defen-
sive tackle and anchor of UF's defense said.
"Sometimes the belly tries to tell me which way
the play is going."
For first-year starter Steven Harris, playing
next to Thomas has made life a lot easier in the
trenches thanks to the added weight the junior .
has piled on without sacrificing speed.
"He has one of these moves if it's third-
and-1, or something like that, he tries to. get
the crowd hyped and slaps on. his belly,
Harris said. "The first time I saw it, I was a
little thrown off by it, but now he does it a lot
more."
He may be listed at 6-foot-3, 285 pounds in'
the media guide, but. after going undergoing
surgery in the off season to fix a herniated disc
in his back, it's more like 305, Thomas said. .
"I put on the weight after the surgery be-
cause I wasn't really able to move around," W0
said Thomas, who prefers steak as the food of Tim dasey/ Alligator Staff
choice for Scoop. UF's Marcus Thomas rubs Scoop, his belly, during the Gators' 35-9

UF MEN'S BASKETBALL

Donovan disappointed with second half


By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer

Tipping off the season against
a Division II NAIA school, the
outcome of UF's first exhibition
game was decided. around the
time it was scheduled.
And with the Gators charg-
ing to a 53-17 halftime lead after
a 30-4 run, things seemed to be
going exactly as UF coach Billy


Donovan had planned.
The second half, however,
was an entirely different story,
as the Gators outscored Embry-
Riddle just 33-31 to- win the
game by an 86-48 final.
After the game, Donovan
was displeased with his team's
performance after the break.
"As pleased as I was with
them in the first half, I was
that disappointed in the second
half," Donovan said. "I thought


we really showed a sign of im-
maturity."
Exhibition Hoops While
Errbry Riddle 48 the Gators
UF 86 shot. 55
percent for
the game,
including knocking down 10
3-pointers from a line that was a
foot farther back than usual due
to experimental rules, they were
also sloppy with the ball, turn-
ing it over 20 times.


"Our lack of focus, or im
maturity, or I don't know wha
it was, but we never got into
flow," Donovan said. "Ever
time we got a defensive sto]
we really made some poor deci
sions on the break, which tool
the energy and the steam ou
of our basketball team in m'
opinion."
The team's sour second hal


Defending the


SEC's stature,
B oring. Terrible. Unwatchable.
No, this isn't a tirade about the
abomination of competitive sport that
is the NBA, but good guess.
These are just a few words national
pundits have used to describe Southeastern
Conference football this season.
Apparently, the conference's smash-
mouth style hasn't exactly wowed the hype-
mongers:
They've been too tainted by the offensive
circus acts of USC and Texas not to men-
tion inexplicably infatuated with a 5-2 Notre
Dame team to recognize a legitimate and
competitive football conference when they
see one.
Some have the SEC ranked behind the
ACC and Pac-10. In a word: ridiculous.
Here's an interesting little nugget for
the talking heads to
chew on: Four of the
country's top-0l de-
fenses come from the
SEC, three of which
Alabama, Auburn
Bryan App and UF are in the
App-etite top-five nationally.
for Receptions No .wonder why
bapp@alligator.org only three games in the
last three weeks have
been decided by more than a touchdoI
No wonder why the average margin of

NBA

High-stakes season begins for Heat


By LOUIS ANASTASIS
,iiar.::,r Staff Writer
lanastasis@alligator.org

ORLANDO How's this for pres-
sure? Miami either wins the NBA cham-
pionship, or the season is a failure. That's
what happens when you add big names
like Antoine Walker, Jason Williams and
Gary Payton to a team already boasting a
Shaquille O'Neal-Dwyane Wade one-two
punch. So are the Heat flinching?
"I'd like to think we're going to be
a pretty good team, but we still have
to fight," O'Neal said following the
Heat's final preseason game against
Orlando on Thursday. "We still have to
go through Indiana and Detroit. It's go-
ing to be a tough fight but we accept all
challenges."
Tonight, in what will be the beginning
of one of the most intriguing storylines
in the NBA, Miami plays Memphis in
its 2005-06 season opener. Coincidentally,
the game will feature five former Gators:
Williams, Udonis Haslem, Matt Walsh,
Mike Miller and Anthony Roberson.
Miami nearly reached the NBA finals
last season with a banged-up O'Neal for


much of the season, not to mentionWade,
who struggled through a rib injury. But
instead of staying with the same entou-
rage, Heat president Pat Riley brought in
a bevy of new players.
They are a talented bunch for sure, but
considering that the NBA has yet to allow
the use of more than one basketball dur-
ing. games, the Heat
could have -issues.
Walker, Williams and
Payton all thrive with
the ball in their hands.
So do O'Neal and
Wade.
"The chemistry
is good even though
O'Neal we've only been to-
gether for a couple of weeks," O'Neal
said. "Guys are getting along, moving the
ball well. Nobody wants to be the leading
scorer in the league, so I don't think we're
going to have any ball problems. We'll be
fine."
So far, the new bunch has paid lip ser-
vice to the idea of checking its egos, but
it remains to be seen whether the players
will actually put that thought into prac-
tice. Save the team's 104-90 win against


I the Magic, players have looked confused.
Williams and Walker haven't been sure
when to shoot. Payton has struggled at
knowing how often he should dump it
into O'Neal and when he should attack
the basket.
"Offensively, I think we're starting to
get an understanding of what our team
is," Coach Stan Van Gundy said. "It's
just continuing to trust each other and
move the ball. It's not a matter of doing
something new, just a matter of playing
better together."
"[We can be] as good as we want to
be," Williams said. "As long as we put
our minds together and do what coach
asks us to do, we'll go as far as we want."
Once forward James Posey returns
from a sprained right thumb in a couple
of weeks, the Heat should have one of
the deepest benches in the NBA. Walker,
Payton and Alonzo Mourning should
all be part of the second squad, giving
Miami hope that as long as there is chem-
istry, there will be Ws.
"We're going to get our nine, 10 core
guys that we're going to go with every
week," O'Neal said. "And hopefully
we're going to be a hard team to beat."

in the Georgia. backfield. He re-
cording six tac kes including one
for a loss of tw6 yards-
"If he makes a play, we say good
play both of you all, his helmet and
his belly," Harris said.
He and his belly have become
quite the pair, but teammates have
made it a habit of recognizing the


big tackle's increased size and im-
proved technique.
"We tease him all the time about
how can you stop both of them,"
linebacker Brandon Siler said. "He
gets in the backfield a lot, so he's
made a big difference."
While Thomas' physical pres-
ence in the interior of the line has
made an impact on what Coach
Urban Meyer has been able to do
with the defense, the tackle also
has doubled as a vocal leader in
a defensive front still gathering
experience in the Southeastern
Conference. Harris and defensive


end Jarvis Moss are relatively
new to the front-four rotation
and Thomas has used his experi-
ences to benefit those still in the
learning process.
"He's given me a lot of point-
ers so being inside with him is
good for me," Harris said.
The belly may have enabled
Thomas to have his way with
opposing offensive linemen, but
it's also become a smash hit with
the ladies.
"[Girls] love it, and they rub
on it first," Thomas said. "It's
like a teddy bear."

Recycle WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2005 Panel, mother address race issues Bi Sundoays By LYNDSEY LEWIS Alligator Writer ilewis@alligator.org Starting Fall 2006, UF students may finally have access to city-bus service seven days a week after the Transportation Access Fee Committee voted unanimously in favor of a motion to extend Regional Transit System services to include Sundays. The motion, which was proposed during the committee's Tuesday afternoon meeting, calls for a tuitionfunded Transportation Fee increase of 57 cents per credit hour, Student raising students' total Lifden transportation costs 'from $4.24 to $4.81 per credit hour. "I think all of us (o'i the committee) could explain the increase in fees' by saying the services and enhancements are necessary," said committee Chairman Bob Miller. In addition to Sunday bus service, the committee's proposal includes provisions that will extend other RTS services on certain routes with high riderships. Later Gator A, an evening route which circulates between the Reitz Union and the Downtown Community Plaza on Wednesdays through Saturdays, will add an additional bus by Fall to accommodate new service hours on Mondays and Tuesdays. Bus routes 20, 12, 35 and 13, which are heavily utilized, will also see between four and 10 hours of extended service time by next Fall. "RTS is the fourth largest bus service in the state," Miller said.

About 200 people heard how Amadou Diallo, an immigrant from Guinea who was working to pay for his education, was killed by four white police officers in 1999 in the Bronx. His mother, Kadiatou Diallo, told his story and suggested how the problems of racial profiling and police brutality can be solved during a speech at Emerson Alumni Hall. Jennifer Harnish / Alligator Kadiatou Diallo discusses her son's death at an event hosted by the Institute of Black Culture in Emerson Alumni Hall. Diallo has become a national spokeswoman against racial profiling. "There is not a single day that will go by without me thinking of my son Anadou," Diallo said. He was shot 19 times by police, she said. "The four officers who discharged their guns that night thought they had found a rapist they were after," stated the program from the forum. "Amadou was unarmed and carrying only a wallet and a pager." She said he "never stood a chance" because the police officers did not see him as human. At the time he was killed, he had $9,000 saved up and was enrolled in college, she said. After the news of her son's death, Diallo trekked to New York to find justice, but said she was unsuccessful. She said the four officers were not convicted in a criminal court, though an apology was issued. Diallo said her son's message to her today would be "Mom, I deserve to live. Why wasn't I given the chance?" A panel of UF employees and a representative from Gainesville Police presented their views on the issues behind her son's death and took questions from the audience.

"I was surprised to see all the trees and fences down," said Michelle Arrazcaeta, a first-year advertising major from West Kendall. "When I was driving north (toward Broward County), all of the traffic lights were out. There were cops everywhere to monitor the traffic." Arrazcaeta said her family received power soon after the storm, and the structural damage to her house was nmal. She said her friends in nearby Coral Springs got Hurricane power Sunday, but many W ma others in Broward might be without power until Nov. 22. According to a Florida Power & Light press release, that date has been moved up to Nov. 8 in parts of MiamiDade County and Nov. 13 for Broward and Palm Beach counties; as well as areas north of Kendall Drive in Miami-Dade. UF Research Facilities in South Florida were damaged in the storm, and one of them, located in Belle Glade, is still without power, said Waldemar Klassen, professor of Tropical.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 3 Collg'ae Wrs er boasts strength all his own By OLIVIA ORMOS Alligator Contributing Writer Kyle Maynard was the world's strongest teenager. Despite being born with incomplete limbs, he bench-pressed 240 pounds even before he became a champion wrestler foi the University of Georgia. Maynard spoke to a crowd of more than 800 in the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom on Tuesday night about how he learned to live with his rare deformity and excel at nearly everything he has attempted On through positive thinking. Campun "I've tried to live my life' without excuses, having a positive attitude and not giving up," Maynard said. "My parents wanted to treat me as normal, and that is the way I see myself." As a child, Maynard, who suffers from a disorder called congenital amputation, felt that prosthetic arms and legs only impaired him. He realized he didn't need extra baggage such as the spoon he wouldwrap around his arm. Maynard said his grandmother would take him to the grocery store, make him say hello to people and shake their hands. He recalled a time in church camp when he and his friends pulled a prank on beachgoers by putting ketchup on his limbs and faking a shark attack. Everyone has obstacles to overcome, Maynard said, but they can overcome anything regardless of what it is. "My heroes are the people that provide service for others, like soldiers, people who provide for disaster victims and the environment, police officers or anyone who shares their time to help other people," he said. He said wrestling taught him about work ethic and feels blessed to be a part of it. To this day, he has never been pinned. "I wanted to become state champion senior year, and I gave up hanging out with friends to practice," he said. "I was totally focused, and I wanted to be there and the one sitting up on the podium with the medal." Local Buchholz High School wrestling team was in the audience, having skipped practice to hear Maynard's speech. "He's a big influence and gives us inspiration to try harder," said team member Drew Carlton, 14. "It's so amazing how he overcame so many obstacles and became such a great wrestler. You can kind of relate it to life, and [it] gives you hope." The audience circled in, standing on chairs to watch Maynard .demonstrate his favorite wrestling moves, especially his jawbreaker, a move he uses to try to separate his opponent's jaw using the end of his arm. UF freshman Paul Mahle, Maynard's demonstration partner, said Maynard was strong, quick and did most of the normal wrestling moves in a modified way. "Wrestling him was a humbling experience, and every high school wrestler knows who he is, and the coaches use him for motivation," Mahle said. "If that was a real match, it would have been a good match." After his speech, Kyle Maynard signs books and chats outside the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom. Though he was born with a rare disorder, he has become a champion athlete. Maynard said he likes to remember "Everyone has got to pull the cookie out there are ways to get around any obstacle, of the jar, and I just had to learn a different and he tries to stay focused on what he can way," he said. do instead of what he can't.

By HEATHER RAPP Alligator Contributing Writer Most wouldn't expect to find a poster of blonde female wrestlers in white G-strings on the wall of a nursing home. Then again, at 38 years old, Michael Dubois isn't a typical nursing-home resident. Dubois has lived at University Place Care and Rehab Center since he was a teenager. "I took a dare that I shouldn't have done," Dubois said of the accident that left him paralyzed. "But when you're 16, you do crazy things." He dove off a dock headfirst with his hands behind his back into a lake that was 5 feet deep. He broke his neck, and is confined to a wheelchair with minimal movement in his arms. But while the accident shattered his vertebrae, his life remains intact. Dubois said he loves his position as a customer-service specialist at Target in Butler Plaza. For 10 years, the Fargo, N.D., native has answered phones, checked prices and assisted customers. "In helping us all keep an upbeat, positive attitude, he's fantastic," said Target assistant manager Chad Williams. Since 1990, Dubois has volunteered at two local schools. With no children of his own, he affectionately calls the pupils his "kids." He is a teacher's aide at Lawton Chiles Elementary School and an assistant physicaleducation coach at Kimball Wiles Elementary School.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2005 H ALLIGATOR, 5 rat-gowesback t^ G'viile Stephen Liverpool of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity wrestles with Prince McKay during a game of kickball at the Phoenix Center on Tuesday. Members volunteer with local children By STEPHANIE RODRIGUEZ Alligator Writer srodriguez@alligator.org Living in a neighborhood full of drugs, abuse, neglect and poor education is common for the kids Annie McKoy sees every day. As executive director of Gainesville's Phoenix Center, McKoy said she was thrilled when members of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity volunteered to play kickball with the center's underprivileged children. The communitycenter, located at 3412 SW 26th Terrace, helps keep children and teenagers off the streets by offering computer and arts-and-crafts classes and tutoring, among other after-school activities.' Iota Phi Theta plays a tremendous role in helping McKoy with mentoring the boys and girls at the center, fraternity member Rafael Dominguez said. "A lot of the kids' parents are usually working two or three jobs, and .this is a good place for them to come rather than stay home by themselves;" Dominguez said. As a regular volunteer, Dominguez spends time reading -to 9-year-old Eunice Bray. Eunice said he helps her get good grades. "They make me feel happy," Eunice said: of the fraternity members. "It's fun when I play games and they let me be on the team." Dominguez said the fraternity has been volunteering for two years twice a month to set a good example for the kids. Another organization that lends a hand to the center is the Family Christian Association of America, a nonprofit organization, which sponsors the center by paying its rent. I appreciate the help I get from fraternities and other groups because the city does not provide money to employ staff." Annie McKoy executive director, Phoenix center However, FCAA does not provide funds for outside activities, such as bowling and skating, that McKoy and other volunteers do with the children. McKoy pays for some events out of her own pocket. "I appreciate the help I get from fraternities and other groups because the city does not provide money to employ staff," McKoy said. "I'm glad to see that there are people who care." McKoy, who volunteers three hours a day at the center, adopted two girls from a mother whose parental privileges were revoked. "I want to see as many kids as possible have the opportunity of a good life and to grow up to be good citizens," McKoy said. "If I had the money and a bigger place, I would take all the kids home." McKoy said she had to adopt the girls because she saw how bad their. situation was, and she wanted to save them from it. By JESSICA RIFFEL Alligator Writer jriffel@aIigator.org Some UF students paint themselves orange and blue for football games, but for a game against Florida State University two years ago, a group of students went green. Gainesville Regional Utilities had the students advertise its green-energy program in 2003 with green body and hair paint and GRU T-shirts. For marketing techniques such as the green students, direct mailings, newspaper advertisements and bumper stickers, GRU received a national award in Texas last week. GRU Marketing Specialist Margaret Crawford accepted the Green Power Beacon Award for the marketing of the GRUgreen Energy program, which seeks to promote the consumption of energy from renewable sources. "We're very excited," Crawford said. "This is the second award we've won for our green energy program." Through the program, customers can give a monthly donation to support renewable-energy technology in Gainesville. GRUgreen uses gas produced by decomposing garbage at the Alachua County Southwest Landfill, as well as wind and solar energy. UF building construction professor Charles Kibert, director of the Powell Center for Construction & Environment and sponsor of UF's Environmental Action Group, supports the program but would like to see GRU make more progressive innovations and take more risks. "I think the program is a good first step, but it needs to go a lot further a lot faster," he said. GRU deserves the awards for its efforts, he said, but he wants GRU to sell green energy at the same price as regular energy, which is produced from sources like coal and natural gas. However, Crawford said GRU is content with the status of the program. Around "Currently, we are pretty GaesVi_ happy," she said. "We would just like more customers to participate in the program." The president of UF's Environmental Action Group, Justin Bangs, said he commends GRU for its award, but he is wary of its motivation. "The program isa public-relations program,". Bangs said. "Their outward message isn't how they're trying to get a new coal generator." Groups such as the Environmental Action Group and the Alachua County Environmental Advisory Committee oppose the proposed coal* generator. "GRU may have this program, which is somewhat successful, but the big picture is that the situation isn't all that great," he said. GRU also won an award from the American Public Power Association for the design and content of its anrual financial report, which customers can receive on request. "We're very proud of it because we put a lot of effort into our annual report," GRU spokesman Dan Jesse said. (1) *0 0 E E 0 L.

6, ALLIGATOR U WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2005 Grisly poitics Images of fetuses degrade discussion alking to class has become entirely too boring for the Editorial Board. It's all trees, squirrels and Hare Krishnas. To mix it up a bit, there's one thing we would love to make a permanent fixture on campus. We feel this would really add to meaningful conversations between students. How about more signs of dead, bloody fetuses? And could we dismember them, just to make the photos a little more interesting? And why don't we manipulate their body parts into certain poses to make it more artistic? The Reproductive "Choice" Campaign came to Gainesville on Tuesday, showcasing these tactics and reminding us just how physically sick we are of the abortion argument's extremism. Publicly displaying graphic images of aborted fetuses on trucks and airplane banners is hardly an intelligent way to garner support. Instead, it rue lers the gap between the anti-abortion and abortion-rights movements by disgusting everyone. Those fighting to end abortion should be angrier at this effort than those fighting to keep abortion legal. Forcing such imagery on the general public reeks more of righteous extremism than of thoughtful discussion. The campaign is the creation of the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform, an organization that claims to fight for "the right to life for the unborn, the disabled, the infirm, the aged and all vulnerable peoples through education." But its Web site only mentions campaigns that focus on abortion. One project involves placing large images of fetuses with quoted scripture near churches not actively fighting abortion. Who is this going to help? Organizers claim the campaign is a success but admit their tactics are unpopular. Following the misleading fashion of politics, they measure success by the number of people visiting their Web site. Many who visit the site do so.for the same reason they visit various other Web sites exhibiting gruesome pictures: morbid curiosity. That doesn't &qual support. Lobbying groups must begin to realize that campaigns don't work like advertisements. Shocking does not sell beliefs; shocking sells shoes and cars. We're further disturbed by the apparent secrecy that surrounds the photos. After perusing numerous newspaper articles on the group, we couldn't find a detailed explanation of how the photos were obtained. Some articles quoted leaders of the groups refusing to reveal their sources, instead insisting they got them from unnamed abortion clinics. If you're going to claim these pictures are fetuses of very specific ages (every photo includes an age in weeks), then it's in your best interest to reveal where you got them. It sounds as if these people illegally obtained them, or perhaps even doctored them. Is that ethical? Such extreme measures aren't needed in an already fiercely heated debate. This effort seems more like an opportunity to enact revenge on "sinners" than to educate the public. Showing children such images is not constructive. And selling T-shirts and business cards with pictures of the fetuses furthers the notion that this group capitalizes on the macabre rather than adds to the discussion. the independent florida alli Mike Gimignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR Emily Yehle OPINIONS EDITOR Torn Durrenberger, Scott Gilton, Andrew Meyer EDITORIAL BOARD The-Alligator encourages comments from readers.

Too often we forget that. Too often we become so entangled in the atrocities of the world, so overwhelmed by our seemingly innumerable woes, that the mere thought of optimism seems quaint and laughable. For Americans, the rest of the world often seems to be a mere compilation of tragedies, death on top of death on top of death -a neverending series of failures. Feeding children, curing disease, halting wars, these are difficult enough without even thinking about spreading democracy. The recent past has only fed the increasing pessimism of this country. Unfortunately, when we say "this country," we increasingly mean "the left." Because in (justifiably) opposing the Iraqi war or criticizing the conduct of the war on terror, many Democrats and other leftists have descended to a level of cynicism that's no better than the rah-rah jingoism of Fox News. -What we've forgotten is that cynicism is not a virtue; it's a trait forced on us by necessity. We've begun to take so much pride in our sneering pessimism that it doesn't occur to us that good can still be done. We live in a world of death and destruction and tyranny, but we also live in a world where great things can happen. In war-torn and poverty-stricken Liberia, young citizens carried George Weah, a former soccer star, to a first-place finish in the initial round of their extraordinary elections Oct. 11. Weah will face Ellen JohnsonSirleaf in a runoff election Nov. 8. The government of Afghanistan announced two weeks ago the results of successful parliamentary elections. Sixty-eight of the 249 seats went to women. Other historical dictatorships have taken the initial steps toward free governance.

Palestinians are ironing out the details of their Andrew Bare own parliamentary elections. The Bare Truth None -of these cases would lTherB aTruth necessarily make inspiring adIetters@alligator.org ditions to a "Democracy on the March" film. Weah is exceptionally popular but lacks political experience or much in the way of formal education. It is a combination that has, in the past, shown a tendency to produce tragedy. A number of seats in the Afghan elections were won by warlords or religious fundamentalists. And unfortunately, the terrorist group Hamas will be allowed to run in the Palestinian elections. But the creation of a democracy is almost always an evolutionary process, not a revolutionary one. The Magna Carta hardly resembles a modernconstitution in its liberality. The Declaration of Independence was inspiring but holds no force of law. And we forget our first ruling document, the Articles of Confederation, proved to be a thoroughly ineffective attempt. None of the above should be read as a Pollyanna-ish approval of the Bush administration's foreign policy. And there must always be room for healthy skepticism from an opposition party. But for the left to close its eyes to the possibilities inherent in nascent democracies, simply because those governments come into being during this administration, is intellectually dishonest.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 7 Democrats must start asking what they can do for America John F. Kennedy once said, "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country." In the past century, these are arguably great words uttered by a Democrat. Unless of course, you are partial to, "I feel your pain." However, looking at the state of my party, it seems as though these words are lost on Democrats. In fact, the motto these days might as well be, "Ask not what your country can do for you .but, wait, what else is there? I forget." Our party is split down the middle, half demanding with clenched fists that its needs be met while the other half feels its pain. Ours used to be the party that asked what Mike Belle the most crucial needs Speaking Out of our fellow Americans were and how we could help. Now those who strong-arm our party ask, "What are the issues that concem me, and how can I get other Americans to care?" Sadly, I'm almost as afraid to stand up to the female lobby in my party as I am of the corporations that back the Republican Party. But it's time for one of us to say something. Forty-four million Americans have no healthcare, no way of protecting themselves from a lifetime of physical suffering. The poorest of our working poor see their pay stay the same every year while their dollars become less and less valuable. They are now choosing between a roof over their head, transportation to work, food to keep them on their feet and medicine to keep them alive. Roe v. Wade has been decided for more than 30 years and re-decided dozens of times since. But when the war drums beat in our party, when fear drives us to the polls, it is still this issue. For my entire life, it has been this issue that defines the Democratic Party, as if America would be heaven on earth as long as women can have abortions through the end of time. Even the women of our nation must long for something greater. After all, 48 percent of women voted with the Republicans in 2004, and they aren't offering anything to anyone. Women of the Democratic Party, our fate is in your hands. I humbly ask you: When will this be over? For how long will Republicans be allowed to ring this Pavlovian bell to see all Democrats foam at the mouth? When will Roosevelt's great words, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself," ring true instead? When can we turn our attention to the visionary heights of which John and Bobby Kennedy eloquently spoke? When will you stop asking us what to do for you and ask what you can do-for the rest of our nation? Mike Belle is a UF alunmnus andformer mayoral candidate. L et t ers t o the -E d tZo r Republicans not all extremists Throughouthis column Monday, Matt Melone contrasts Republicans with liberals. Given the tone of the piece, I don't know if this was done for effect, if this reflects Melone's considered views on the way political views line up in the United States or if it was a slip. It is worth pointing out, however, that this is an inaccurate -and, I think, harmful -way of characterizing our political divisions. One can point to obvious exceptions like Sen. Joe Lieberman (a hawkish Democrat, who, if he doesn't qualify as a conservative in Melone's sense, is definitely not a liberal) and Sen. Arlen Specter (a moderate Republican, much to his discredit in the eyes of his conservative colleagues), though I don't think that these sorts of "cross-category" political positions are all that uncommon. This kind of categorization has the destructive effect of reinforcing the widely held opinion that the Republican Party is just a party for conservatives. That may reflect a wish of Melone's, but I think it's neither accurate nor healthy for the party. Regardless of one's political views, one shouldn't hope for the political parties in the United States to be so narrowly defined, given our commitment to a two-party system. Additionally, as a Republican partisan, I would expect Melone would not want to characterize the Republican Party as unwelcoming to people with more moderate political views or even liberal views on some matters. Steve Reber -6LS Liberals all talk, no real action The editorial page yesterday was littered -with indignation at Matt Melone's recent assertion that liberalism is irrelevant. Responses to his column ranged from assertions of Bush's failure to respond appropriately to the Hurricane Katrina disaster to Tom DeLay's recent indictments to the need for liberalism's dedication to fight racism and help victims of rape. One letter-writer asserted that liberals are "motivated by peace, equality and justice." First of all, the response to Katrina was the fastest response to a hurricane in recorded history. Newspapers were littered with articles days before the hurricane hit about residents who had chosen to stay in New Orleans and about how police were allowed to commandeer vehicles to get the willing out. Secondly, like many conservatives, I have no argument against rapists being shot on sight, let alone imprisoning rapists for life without exception. I have a feeling you'd be more likely to find a liberal trying to "understand" and "rehabilitate" repeat sexual offenders than trying to keep them behind bars where they belong. As for being motivated by peace, equality and justice: congratulations. Motivation is great, but it's just the first step. Scream "peace, equality and justice" all you like, but unless you have what it takes to make some tough, unpopular decisions and do something about it, your views are worthless.

8, ALLIGATOR E WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2,2005 BURYING KATR NA4S HATCHET UP professor aided cleanup By ASHTON GROSZ Alligator Writer Once the storms passed and the waters receded, Mississippi families gathered in cemeteries among the displaced burial plots and tried to identify bones scattered about demolished caskets. As the man overseeing portable morgues for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Jason Byrd understood their concerns. "That was almost as much stress on families, knowing someone is deceased and now their burial plot is just gone," Byrd said. "[Even more so] than having a member of the family gone." However, once the team explained FEMA's intentions to restore remains to their proper caskets, Byrd said people were generally satisfied and even willing to tell the workers what clothes and casket their relatives were buried in. Such descriptions made it easier for workers to match scattered parts and for Byrd to do his job as the chief of operations for FEMA's Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Teams. In late September, the forensic entomologist and UF professor spent two-and-a-half weeks in .Gulfport and Biloxi, Miss., two cities ravaged by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Danny Ghitis / Alligator Professor Jason Byrd answers questions during a forensic anthropology exam. Byrd put his knowledge to the test in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, where he helped identify remains. His duties included recovering cemeteries, identifying human remains, patrolling beaches for corpses washed up on shore and assisting teams with missing-person reports. Among the chaos Byrd .saw was downtown Gulfport, which was peppered with more than 50 Chiquita Banana trucks that blew in from the port. In one small community, three 400-foot barges traveled a quarter of a mile inland before they stopped. "You know, you wake up in the morning and basically see an oceangoing vessel in your front yard," Byrd said. While working there, he saw hundreds of locals camped outside their homes. In some places, infrastructure was so badly damaged that workers could not get to families to retrieve remains. "We had situations where people basically stayed with their deceased relative or spouse or whatever for days," he said.It was an emotionally stressful environment where people tolerated as much as they could handle without breaking down, he said. It was Byrd's sixth disaster response -and worst in terms of devastation. He said he received an average of 20 reports a day, and the death toll has reached 1,200 to date. However, that number is far less than the tens of thousands predicted dead immediately after Katrina. At the onset, there was a realization that as many as. 100 sets of remains would need to be processed each day within each of the portable morgues if the death toll reached its original estimates. Quadrupling the output of the portable morgues, which are designed to process about 25 bodies in 12 hours, was "a complete impossibility with the federal resources that currently exist," Byrd said. Had the initial death toll materialized, he said it's likely that, for the first time ever, the country would have had to dig mass graves. Byrd worked from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m., but he said the rougher the conditions for the 1,500 FEMA workers in Mississippi, the higher the morale. Until tents arrived, the team slept on racks in refrigerated trucks designed to store remains where temperatures inside reached 38 degrees. "To'do the job you have to have a certain disposition; a sense of humor. That's sort of your protective mechanism for what you do," he said. Ea By ADRIANNA C. RODRIGUEZ Alligator Contributing Writer Lance Dalton didn't live long enough to graduate from UP, but because of him 7-year-old Raymond might. Dalton died at the age of 20 after a final relapse of Ewing's sarcoma, a cancer he battled for years. Although Dalton only lived through the middle of his junior year, his friends are keeping his memory alive at UF through a weeklong auction ending today on the Reitz Union Colonnade, started to help Dalton's family pay medical bills in late 2003. "Lance was the type of person you wish everyone had a chance to meet," said Brian Lorenzetti, 23, Dalton's former roommate and one of the auction's founders. "Lance really had a passion for helping others. This auction is one way for people to come together for that passion." Lorenzetti and fellow members got the idea for the auction in October 2003 while walking through the Reitz Union on their way back from visiting Dalton, who was receiving treatment at Shands at UP. Dalton was very involved in the club and had served as treasurer before relapsing. "He didn't really care about his pain," Lorenzetti said. "He just wanted to make sure his family was taken care of." In three-and-a-half weeks and with little experience coordinating auctions, the club members gathered donated items, arranged the auction and raised more than $5,000 for Dalton's family. After the auction, the club presented the money it raised to the family at the hospital. "It was an amazing moment," Lorenzetti said. On A few weeks later, CaM PUS on Nov. 7,2003, Dalton died. Lorenzetti has remained involved in Friends for Life at UF and in the auction. He is traveling from Orlando for the live auction. "I'll be 60 years old, and if still there's someone to put it together, I'll be there," Lorenzetti said. Last year's auction raised more than $4,000. This year's auction ends today on the Colonnade from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and will include Kaplan tutoring certificates, an autographed football and gift certificates. This year, the money raised will go to Raymond, a cancer patient from Interlachen. He loves video games, SpongeBob SquarePants and Spiderman, silent-auction co-chair Katie O'Neill said. The club's goal is to raise $6,000.

Three members of "zero3: stage and spoken word superheroes" gave guests a sample of the issues to be discussed throughout the month. Performances included stereotypes characterizing Asian Americans as spastic and angry, poetry and a true story of a hate crime.

"I'm sure they'll be delighted to come to work now that we have electricity," he said. "I'm sure some will come in just to take showers with warm water." Hurricane damage in South Florida prompted Mission Harvest, a Jacksonville-based organization, to donate 120,000 pounds of food, water and toys to the area, said U.S. Air Force Maj. Steve Schack, who led the distribution. By Saturday -night, all that was left of the supplies were four cartons of Kickapoo Joy Juice, sent from Virginia, and a box of gently used stuffed animals. .Just before the volunteers packed up, a man, Ovy Addeh, reached into the box and retrieved a toy truck, two stuffed animals and a puzzle box. He walked over to a carton of Kickapoo Joy Juice and pulled out two bottles, grinning sheepishly at the Chinese character on the label. "People are in need in this area," Schack said, adding that Saturday was the second day in a row his squadron had been volunteering since 8 a.m. "I've been hearing a lot of 'God bless you's," he said.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2,2005 E ALLIGATOR, 9 Notes for profit may violate law By JESSICA GAVILAN Alligator Contributing Writer Note-taking companies offer a way for students to catch up on classes they may have missed -for a price. But some professors are upset with companies such as Einstein's Notes and Smokin' Notes, saying the companies exploit their work for profit. "These are facts, theories and concepts that the professor has learned and studied, and in many cases researched and published," said Laurence B. Alexander, Law of Mass Communications professor. "Taking it as is and reselling it is a violation of that person's intellectual property." Alexander said he feels no harm would be done if the note-taking companies put together their own notes to sell to students. "They simply go into the classroom and take the work that has already been done by. the professor and resell it," he said. "They're not contributing anything to it." Note-taking companies are potentially violating the copyright of a professor's work by getting it for free and reselling it at a profit without permission, Alexander said. "If you really want to be honest about it, seek the professor's permission before you take the theories and research that they're using," he said. However, one local notetaking company has been speaking with professors about their practices. Ryan Dix, the creator of Smokin' Notes, said his notetaking staff.has established a good relationship with almost all of the professors of the seven business classes they deal with. "We talk with many of them on a weekly basis and check in with them periodically," Dix said. "It's an important relationship for us to have." Dix said his company differs from others because more time, attention, money and resources are spent to put its notes together. Rather than having just one student take notes, Smokin' Notes has an entire team for each class the company offers, consisting of several students, and a specialist with extensive knowledge in the area. "We do a lot of fact-checking," he said. "There are a lot of steps in the process." Representatives from Tricia Coyne / Alligator Staff Smokin'Notes, one of many local note-taking companies, uses a team of students and an expert to compile student study guides in each class the.company offers. Einstein's Notes refused to William Rossi said he agrees comment. with Dix and sees no problem Dix said he' feels Smokin' with such companies.

Secretary of the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration Alan Levine, a UF alumnus and former student senator, said UF's student legislative body is similar to the state's. "Once you enter public service, you represent everyone," he said, calling UF a microcosm of society. Levine also said Florida is prepared for the avian flu. "I don't foresee it becoming a problem in Florida," he said. Student "I'd keep watching the b iove t IiC, news on that though." i other Senate news, a Graduate Student Council bill asking Senate for $20,000 to increase conference grants for Spring 2006 passed the first of two readings. "We don't have the money to keep up with the demand," said former Graduate Student Council president Mike Bowen. The money would be used to fund 81) travel grants at $250 each, adding to the already $100,000 budget. Bowen said a typical conference costs $971 in travel expenses, and most students pay the full amount. About 380 grants were allocated during fiscal year 2004-05, but this year 400 grants have already been budgeted. Bowen said a student can only have one grant each year from the fund. Academic departments often tout the support given to students during recruitment. Also at Senate, Student Body President Joe Goldberg announced the gym wipes that Student Government promised for UF's recreational facilities are available for use. Next Tuesday, Senate will meet at the Levin College of Law in Room 180. Panelists criticize methods, motives of law enforcement in Gainesville DIALLO from page 1 Professor Kenneth B. Nunn of the Levin College of Law asked audience members to think about how they would feel if their relatives were in a foreign country and were killed by the police. William D. Mercer Jr., a Student Legal Services assistant general counsel, said he thinks a contributing factor to these issues is that police either do not know the law or choose not to follow it. UF law professor Michelle Jacobs said much of police misbehavior is intentional. Officers act one way in Haile Plantation and another in downtown Gainesville. GPD Capt. Tony Jones said beneficial changes have been made in the department since he started working there in 1975. Now Gainesville has a "full-service community-oriented policing strategy" and officers attend regular meetings with the community. He told attendees who expressed complaints against the department to report them and discuss them with him or another appropriate government official. Lesbian, Gay, .Bisexual and Transgendered Affairs Director Tamara Cohen said she participated in a demonstration in New York City after Diallo was killed. She said individuals should pursue justice and that she hopes community action can occur before a tragedy. UF sociology professor Karen Parker said minorities are needed in the criminology field. Nunn said a larger issue is behind the problems of racial profiling and police brutality. "The main problem is racism in America," he said. New bus services nay require additional fees out of UF students' pockets TRANSPORT, from page 1, leading Gainesville into a level of service that they've never had before." Along with that service, however, come additional costs for UF students, many of which require them to pay for services that are also frequently utilized by Gainesville's residential population. Some of the 10 Sunday bus routes proposed by RTS will run through areas that are not densely populated by students, as pointed out by Miller at another Transportation Access Fee Committee meeting Monday. "I slept on that last night, and I didn't like it at all," said Student Body Treasurer and committee member Lindsay Cosimi. "I couldn't live with myself (if students were paying for other Gainesville residents' bus services)." However, Miller emphasized that after a brief lead-in period of one or two years, RTS will begin funding a portion of the services. "We want the city to step up and take their fair share after two years," he said. "[Two years] certainly gives them plenty of time to begin that planning process." Additionally, the committee will apply for a grant from the Florida Department of Transportation to "I slept on that last night, and I didn't like it at all. I couldn't live with myself (if students were paying for other Gainesville residents' bus services)." Lindsay Cosimi Student Body treasurer help fund Sunday bus services, but a representative from RTS emphasized Monday that there is no guarantee DOT will honor the group's request. If DOT officials choose to comply and grant money for extended bus services, the maximum amount it will allocate for the service is approximately $160,000, or half of its total cost of $312,635. Even if the grant is received, UF students still will pay an additional 57 cents per credit hour .in transportation fees by Fall 2006, which Inter-Residence Hall Association President and committee member EJ Walicki said "is pretty much average." Miller added that although the fee raise may seem drastic, it's reasonable considering the rising costs of gas and the various new services it will fund. "You remember last year (when) very little, if anything, was added," he said. If the committee had decided against funding new services, the fee would still have been raised by 37 cents to accommodate rising gas prices and other regular costs, Miller said. Unlike other student fees, the Transportation Access Fee is not regulated by Florida statutes and thus is not subject to increase limitations like the 95-cent cap on Athletic, Health and Activity & Service fees. UF's Board of Trustees, the university's highest governing body, will review the proposal and determine whether the committee's recommended fee increase will be instated.

10, ALLIGATOR U WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2,2005 AlDS forum speakers offer hope after diagnosis E SPEAKER ENCOURAGE EDUCATION, CAUTION. By KATE WILKINSON Alligator Contributing Writer Seventeen years on crack cocaine, seven trips to rehab, five years of prostitution, an abusive husband, losing her children and several jail sentences feature in Patricia Colson's life story. But there is hope in her future, she said, because she has AIDS. The disease gave her a reason to turn her life around and share her experience with others. She said her life's purpose now is telling people it is possible to have a normal and productive life while living with AIDS. "I'm doing it," Colson said. "I'm doing it." Colson was one of five speakers who took part in a forum called "AIDS: Not just a statistic" held in the Graham Hall recreation room Tuesday afternoon. The forum emphasized AIDS education to the about 50 people in attendance. Colson said she broke from her cocaine addiction after she tested HIV positive in 2001. Later, she became a devout Christian. C.J. Merrill, a real estate agent, said he found out he had HIV in 1987 and has been dealing with the disease since. He said On living daily with high Campus drug dosages and closely monitoring his health has been difficult. "There were times I was taking up to 30 or 33 pills over a day's period," Merrill said. Americans have a false sense of security about AIDS, he said. They shouldn't ignore the disease and say, "It's not going to happen to me." He emphasized the importance of having safe sex and using condoms in order to prevent the spread of AIDS. Many students think using a condom is awkward at first, but it becomes easier, he said. "It's like riding a bicycle. Once you get used to it, ifs not hard at all," Merrill said as the crowd cheered. People are always going to have sex because it's fun, said Michael Rajner, who was diagnosed with AIDS 10 years ago. He encouraged the audience to make a habit of wearing condoms. "Make a game out of it, make it fun, make it interesting," said Rajner, who is sexually active. Angela Pretto, a mother and grandmother, has lived with AIDS for 23 years. When she was first diagnosed, she said discrimination from healthcare professionals and the community occurred every day. She credited God with giving her the mission of educating people about AIDS so she can give others hope that they can live even if they have been diagnosed. STUDENT LIFE UF -m studetts h nO r I feA, d--a on Mxican holiday By CASSIDY MILLS Alligator Contributing Writer The Day of the Dead is alive in Gainesville. El Dia de los Muertos in Spanish, The Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday celebrated Tuesday and today that honors both the lives and deaths of deceased relatives and friends. The MexicanAmerican StudentAssociation will host an event to commemorate the holiday tonight at 7 at the Institute of Hispanic-Latino Cultures, also known as La Casita. The event will feature dancing skeletons, a luminary service, food and music. Zannon Garza; MASA president, said although the holiday is in remembrance of the dead, it is a celebration of life. "It's hard for people to understand how we can celebrate death," Garza said. "But there is a time for mourning, and the main purpose of the event is to end the mourning and celebrate the life that person had." Garza said the holiday is especially meaningful to her this year because a member of her family died recently. "My mother's family is still in Mexico, and they will honor the date," she said. "It's special because we'll be celebrating on the same day but in different countries." Garza said enthusiasm for the event has increased since last year, and the addition "We want to get people who are not Mexican to attend so that they can learn and understand what the holiday is about." Zannon Garza MASA president of a luminary service has encouraged more participation. Garza said the service is important to the community because it symbolizes the lives that were lost in the Gainesville area. Garza stressed the event is for students from all cultural backgrounds. "We want to get people who are not Mexican to attend so that they can learn and understand what the holiday is about," she said. Anai Nava, vice president of MASA, said college students from other backgrounds appreciate the holiday even if they do not understand it. Nava's grandfather died this year, so the holiday takes on a new significance, she said. She said the occasion is something she enjoys because it's like a party. "You never see anyone crying," Nava said. "People may be sad that their loved ones aren't there, but everyone is stillhappybecause those who passed away aren't suffering." 10% off w/ ad Mon -Fri 4:30 -2:30 Bipolar disorder, also called manic-depressive disorder, is a condition that can cause extreme mood changes.

S rt WEDNESDAYNVME 2,2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports-.org Defensive tackle finds friend in belly E THOMAS CREDITS IMPROVED DEFENSE TO SPECIAL 12th MAN. By ERIC ESTEBAN Alligator Staff Writer eesteban@alligator.org The Gators' defense might want to be careful about being penalized for too many men on the field because Marcus Thomas has been playing with an extra little buddy -his belly. In fact the belly has become a separate person. Just call him Scoop, Thomas' preferred nickname. "Players were [making fun of me] trying to tell me how big I had, gotten, calling me 'fat boy' and everything," said Thomas, a defensive tackle and anchor of UF's defense said. "Sometimes the belly tries to tell me which way the play is going." For first-year starter Steven Harris, playing next to Thomas has made life a lot easier in the trenches thanks to the added weight the junior has piled on without sacrificing speed. "He has one of these moves -if it's thirdand-1, or something like that, he tries to get the crowd hyped and slaps on. his belly," Harris said. "The first time I saw it, I was a little thrown off by it, but now he does it a lot more.,, He may be listed at 6-foot-3, 285 pounds in the media guide, but after going undergoing surgery in the off season to fix a herniated disc in his back, it's more like 305, Thomas said. "I put on the weight after the surgery because I wasn't really able to move around," said Thomas, who prefers steak as the food of Tim Casey/ Alligator Staff choice for Scoop.

UF MEN'S BASKETBALLn DOnEtlOvan d~sa*--ppont(%d with secOnd half By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer Tipping off the season against a Division II NAIA school, the outcome of UF's first exhibition game was decided around the time it was scheduled. And with the Gators charging to a 53-17 halftime lead after a 30-4 run, things seemed to be going exactly as UF coach Billy Donovan had planned. The second half, however, was an entirely different story, as the Gators outscored EmbryRiddle just 33-31 to win the game by an 86-48 final. After the game, Donovan was displeased with his team's performance after the break. "As pleased as I was with them in the first half, I was that disappointed in the second half," Donovan said. "I thought we really showed a sign of immaturity." Exhibition Hoops W h i 1 e Embry Riddle 48 the Gators UF 86 shot 55 percent for the game, including knocking down 10 3-pointers from a line that was a foot farther back than usual due to experimental rules, they were also sloppy with the ball, turning it over 20 times.

18, ALLIGATOR BE WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2,2005 NBA By LOUIS ANASTASIS Alligator Staff Writer lanastasis@aligator.org ORLANDO -How's this for pressure? Miami either wins the NBA championship, or the season is a failure. That's what happens when you add big names like Antoine Walker, Jason Williams and Gary Payton to a team already boasting a Shaquille O'Neal-Dwyane Wade one-two punch. So are the Heat flinching? "I'd like to think we're going to be a pretty good team, but we still have to fight," O'Neal said following the Heat's final preseason game against Orlando on Thursday. "We still have to go through Indiana and Detroit. It's going to be a tough fight but we accept all challenges." Tonight, in what will be the beginning of one of the most intriguing storylines in the NBA, Miami plays Memphis in its 2005-06 season opener. Coincidentally, the game will feature five former Gators: Williams, Udonis Haslem, Matt Walsh, Mike Miller and Anthony Roberson. Miami nearly reached the NBA finals last season with a banged-up O'Neal for much of the season, not to mention Wade, who struggled through a rib injury. But instead of staying with the same entourage, Heat president Pat Riley brought in a bevy of new players. They are a talented bunch for sure, but considering that the NBA has yet to allow the use of more than one basketball during games, the Heat could have issues. Walker, Williams and Payton all thrive with the ball in their hands. So do O'Neal and Wade. "The ch-em-istry is good even though O'Neal we've only been together for a couple of weeks," O'Neal said. "Guys are getting along, moving the ball well. Nobody wants to be the leading scorer in the league, so I don't think we're going to have any ball problems. We'll be fine." So far, the new bunch has paid lip service to the idea of checking its egos, but it remains to be seen whether the players will actually put that thought into practice. Save the team's 104-90 win against the Magic, players have looked confused. Williams and Walker haven't been sure when to shoot. Payton has struggled at knowing how often he should dump it into O'Neal and when he should attack the basket. "Offensively, I think we're starting to get an understanding of what our team is," Coach Stan Van Gundy said. "It's just continuing to trust each other and move the ball. It's not a matter of doing something new, just a matter of playing better together." "[We can be] as good as we want to be," Williams said. "As long as we put our minds together and do what coach asks us to do, we'll go as far as we want." Once forward James Posey returns from a sprained right thumb in a couple of weeks, the Heat should have one of the deepest benches in the NBA. Walker, Payton and Alonzo Mourning should all be part of the second squad, giving Miami hope that as long as there is chemistry, there will be Ws. "We're going to get our nine, 10 core guys that we're going to go with every week," O'Neal said. "And hopefully we're going to be a hard team to beat." check out our daily specials Back by Popular Demand! Growing Fruit For Fun & Profit Ao No Aess\ Hor'ewOrk, Spring course open to all students!

Dallas Baier, who left Saturday's 14-10 win against Georgia with an anhie injury before returning in the second Baker half, isn't practicing and UF coach Urban Meyer is concerned. 'Say. Dallas is sore," Meyer said. "We're hoping [he's ohk]." The Gators already lost Andre Caldwell for the season with a broken leg, and Jemalle Cornelius has missed time with an ankle injury. ,~'iINJURY UPDATE: Jarvis Herring, Brandon Sler and Rap McDonald all practiced aftersuffering various minor injuries. Offensive lineman Jim Tart: participated only in individual drills. TAILBACK TWOSOME: Meyer has found a reliable tailback tandem in DeShawn Wynn and Markus Manson, and he said that Matson, the redshirt freshman, isjust a step below Wynn in terms of earning the startingob. "DeShawn [is starting] with Markus Manson right on his heels," Meyer said. Jennifer LaBrie, Andrew Abramson / Alligator Staff i%, ientfllorMa _ZZ _2

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 19 Added weight brings big plays, laughs to team I BELLY, from page 17 "It kind of stuck with me and never left me." Thomas, who has started every game this season, was a force in the Georgia backfield. He recording six tackles, including one for a loss of tvdo yards. "If he makes a play, we say good play both of you all, his helmet and his belly," Harris said. He and his belly have become quite the pair, but teammates have made it a habit of recognizing the big tackle's increased size and improved technique. ."We tease him all the time about how can you stop both of them," linebacker Brandon Siler said. "He gets in the backfield a lot, so he's made a big difference." While Thomas' physical presence in the interior of the line has made an impact on what Coach Urban Meyer has been able to do with the defense, the tackle also has doubled as a vocal leader in a defensive front still gathering experience in the Southeastern Conference. Harris and defensive end Jarvis Moss are relatively new to the front-four rotation and Thomas has used his experiences to benefit those still in the learning process. "He's given me a lot of pointers so being inside with him is good for me," Harris said. The belly may have enabled Thomas to have his way with opposing offensive linemen, but it's also become a smash hit with the ladies. "[Girls] love it, and they rub on it first," Thomas said. "It's like a teddy bear." Humphrey, Noah dominate offensively; team struggles with turnovers in win BASKE TBA LL, from page 17 took the sails out of a pair of stellar offensive perfonrmances by players experiencing their first game as regular fixtures in the starting lineup. Joakim Noah, who averaged just 3.5 points per game in his freshman campaign, broke out for a game-high 21 and 10 rebounds, while Lee Humphrey added 15 points on 5of-9 shooting from beyond the arc. "[Noah] was pretty awesome," Humphrey said. "He rebounded great, went to the glass, and he runs the floor really well and showed how much skill he has." Despite his impressive offensive performance, he also turned the ball over six times. Sophomore forward Corey Brewer committed five turnovers while scoring 7 points. And although the Gators' second-half performance was less than impressive, Donovan was actually happy that UF struggled after halftime. "I'm happy they did that in the second half," Donovan said. "Because you know what? I've got all the ammunition to go right after them tomorrow. I really do, and they know it. "To me, this is what this is all about right now. I don't think, 'Oh my God, this can't change. This is the end all. This is where we're at as a basketball team.' Our guys played a great, great first half. .I just didn't like our focus after then because to me as a coach, it gives me something else to get on them about." ~h~gIWA Deadline is previous Thursday.
