Vendors, media pad record stadium crowds


* ATTENDANCE OF MORE THAN 90K
REPORTED FOR 88,548-SEAT VENUE.

By JUSTIN RICHARDS
Alligator Writer
jrichards@alligator.org

The University Athletic Association
continues to report record attendance at
Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, but those break-
ing the records are not fans but media and


concessions staff, a UAA official said.
Gators spectators have filled the stadi-
um's 88,548 seats at every game since it
was expanded for the 2003 season.
"Every home football game has sold
out since 1989," said Zack Higbee, assis-
tant director of sports information.
But recent record-breaking attendance
figures reported 90,707 on Sept. 4; 90,716
on Sept. 16; 90,104 at the Homecoming
game encompass everyone present


in the -stadium, including players; band
members, media,,concessions and support
staff.
"When we say, 'Today's
Student attendance is...,' it is bodies
Life in the stadium," UF Assistant
Athletic Director Chip
Howard said.
Howard said media and concession
workers make up the attendees whose
numbers fluctuate most; therefore they


are likely the ones who break old re-
cords.
According to the National Collegiate
Athletic Association Web site, in 2004 the
stadium's reported attendance averaged
102 percent of its official seating capac-
ity.
UF's isn't the only football program
that states an attendance greater than its

LOCAL
Corners may get tax waiver
A $34 million tax reimburse-
ment for the University Comers
project was approved by a city
board Wednesday.
According to a report by, PMG
Associates, an independent consul-
tant to Gainesville, the University
Comers developers are eligible to
receive up to 90 percent of the new
taxes the city and county would
generate due to the project.
"The city of Gainesville is not
paying us a dime," Comers chief
executive officer Frank Darabi
said. "When we sell our project,
people will pay taxes on our
new improvements, and the city
and county will not only receive
the taxes they are getting now
- they'll also get 10 percent of the
taxes for the improvements."
If the City Commission ap-
proves the consultant's sugges-
tions later this month, the devel-
opers will receive the $34 million
reimbursement over 26 years.
The project, located at the
comer of University Avenue and
Northwest 13th Street, is estimated
to cost $180 million.
One member, a local devel-
oper who refused to give his name,
warned the committee of pos-
sible risks the city would face if the
Comers project failed.
"If the cost of supporting every-
thing around the project exceeds
our 10 percent, it is a drain," he
said.
He mentioned city costs such.as
police and fire-rescue services, as
well as road maintenance.
Karen Slevin, Community
Redevelopment Agency manager,
said the consultant wrote that costs

Students shorn locks, bid for Love


By IVETTE MENDEZ
Alligator Contributing Writer

Students were lining up to
lose their hair Wednesday on
the Reitz Union Colonnade.


Friends for Life of America
held its annual silent auction
side-by-side with haircuts for
Locks of Love, an organiza-
tion that collects and donates
hair to children with medical

hair loss.
The money raised by this
year's silent auction will ben-
efit 7-year-old cancer patient
Raymond Woodruff.
Raymond hung around
the Colonnade for about an
hour before heading to the
arcade with his family.
"He's a big video-game
player," said Jennifer
Woodruff, Raymond's moth-
er. "He sees an arcade and
he's got to go to it."
The PlayStation 2 enthu-
siast spends a lot of time at
the hospital doing activities
with the staff. Of the past two
weeks, Raymond has been in
the hospital for 10 days.
"He's very used to being a
cancer patient," O'Neill said.
The money-will go to help
with medical bills; but it also
will allow for Raymond can
do fun activities, 0' Neill
said.
"Raymond loves SpongeBob
(Squarepants)," she said.
Woodruff said her fam-
ily was very surprised when
Katie O'Neill, chair of the
silent auction, called to say
they would receive the auc-
tion proceeds to help with
medical expenses.
Raymond's last chemo-
therapy session caused severe
hearing loss, and the family
had to purchase hearing aids
at about $6,000 a pair.
"He likes his hearing aids.
He can hear everything with
those," Woodruff said.
At the auction, students
bid on restaurant gift certifi-


cates, Kaplan courses, airline
tickets, sports memorabilia
and other items donated by
local businesses.
The Reitz Union Hair
Company had two chairs set
up next to the auction where
students could have their
hair cut for free if they were
willing to donate 6 inches or
more.
Students started arriving
as early as 9:15 a.m. to sign
up to get their hair cut.
The list was capped at 46
students, which is the larg-
est number of donors the UF
organization has ever had,
O'Neill said.
Owner and manager of the
Reitz Union Hair Company,
Jay Jarrell, has been par-
ticipating in the event since
Friends for Life started do-
ing it.
Some students waited
hours to donate their hair.
Zoology student Sara
Tolliver arrived on the
Colonnade at 10:15 a.m. and
returned three times between
her classes to make sure she
could get her hair cut before
the event ended.
Tolliver said she had
wanted to donate to Locks
of Love for more than a year,
but her hair had not been
long enough for the usual 10-
inch requirement.
There was only a 6-inch
.minimum at the event, so it
was her opportunity to give a
gift to someone less fortunate.
"I think it's a good cause
and worth my hair," she said.

gift of $5M

By CHERYL CLARKE
Alligator Contributing Writer

A UF alumnus honored the univer-
sity and former Florida Gov. Bob Graham
with a $5 million donation toward a hall
in his honor.
UF alumnus and Winter Park-based
developer Jim Pugh and his wife, Alexis,
donated the money to the College of
Liberal Arts and
SSciences to build the
new home of the Bob

P. public Service.
:. ""- Pugh Hall is
.. scheduled to be built
S. s between Newell
Graham ,and Dauer halls on
Buckman Drive.
Construction is expected to start next
year, with.the building opening in 2008.
Pugh said the center would offer new
bachelor degrees in public service and
political science.
The center will focus on three main
areas of career training in government.
public leadership, the Americas and
national intelligence, said Neil Sullivan,
dean of CLAS.
The center will "help students learn

Sullivan said he also hopes the center
will attract distinguished government
leaders to come to campus.
Graham and Pugh met at UF as Sigma
Nu Fraternity brothers and have been
friends for more than 50 years.
Pugh, who earned his bachelor's.

his life that day but lost everything in
it. Seven of his dose family members

Vigil Chairwoman Nicole Varma said
the event marks the third attempt at a

Binge reality

Jacksonville party creates

dangerous atmosphere
Despite all the fuss about the danger of alcoholism in
Gainesville, our college town doesn't seem to be the
foremost location of UF binge drinking.
During the past two years, two UF students have died par-
taking in festivities after the Florida-Georgia football game in
Jacksonville.
Twice that number have died in Gainesville over the past
two years as a direct or indirect result of alcohol.
The Jacksonville party lasts a weekend. Gainesville is open
year-round for clubbing and keg parties.
Statistics alone tell us that something is awry, and it doesn't
take much contemplation to figure it out.
Known as the "world's largest cocktail party," the
Jacksonville football game is placed on an alcohol pedestal
that approaches Mardi Gras status for some UF students.
Everyone piles into their cars the Friday afternoon before the
game, stocked with bottles of 7'!or or cases of beer for the
partying ahead.
The scene feels like the pinnacle of the college experience.
And because of all the hype, students expect to get plas-
tered and forget their responsibilities. It's a reason to get
rowdy, to have classic college adventures, to show unfettered
school spirit.
The circumstances surrounding the deaths of UF students
hint at this philosophy.
Last Fall, David Ferguson was found dead next to a
Jacksonville parking garage. The last time someone saw him,
he was at the Jacksonville Landing, an entertainment district
where thousands of people flock over the weekend. Friends
said he-was inebriated, and at one point, some were taking
care of him.
But as far as we know, he died alone in a fall from the park-
ing garage.
This year, Thomas Brown also visited the Landing. He
separated from some of his fraternity members after watching
the game at a restaurant. Later, he was beaten to death, grossly
outnumbered by his five young attackers.
Both of these incidents may have been prevented if these
students were in a familiar territory and had a home to go to.
Ferguson's car door was left open, with his wallet and cell
phone inside, hinting that he might have been trying to find a
place to rest. Brown was cornered in an alley, without know-
ing the area or how to get help. ,
But does this mean university officials should step in and
end the party?
We don't think so.
Although it makes more sense to us to have the celebration
in one of the football teams' cities, we're not going to call for
the tradition to stop.
Students are adults and must make their own decisions, for
good or ill. If they want to go to Jacksonville, they will go to
Jacksonville. And if so many people continue to attend, then
they obviously feel they can handle what comes their way.
But we hope some students might learn from the tragedies
of their peers.
At such a crowded and emotional event, students should
always stay in groups. Fights are to be avoided at all costs.
And although most of us shudder at the, idea, a designated
sober friend would make everyone feel much safer.
But we can't pin reasons to why such tragedies happen,
and we can't rely on regulations and laws to save us.

Guest column'

Copyright shouldn't silence creativity


was unhappy to see Wednesday's article claiming
note-taking services may violate professors' copy-
rights.
Unfortunately, this is meritless sword-rattling from a
disgruntled professor and nothing more.
A brief background: Copyright is a system of gov-
ernment protection granted for, original creative works.
For example, copyright applies to books, music and
videos. Copyright grants exclusive control over certain
uses of the work, such as modification and redistribu-
tion, for a limited time. The system was designed in the
Constitution as a way to incite creation and "promote
the progress of science and useful arts."
Professor Laurence Alexander's claims of copyright
are invalid because copyright only applies to works
fixed "in a tangible medium of expression." An instruc-
tor's spoken explanations are ephemeral and in no way
fixed in a tangible medium.
Alexander also complains that notes copy "facts,
theories and concepts that the professor has learned and
studied." However, as the U.S. Copyright Office's Web
site explains, mere "ideas,.... concepts, principles" and
the like are explicitly ineligible for copyright.
If note-taking companies copied a professor's every
word or engaged in wholesale copying of a textbook, a
claim could be made for copyright violation. But that's
not what these companies do.
What note-taking companies such as Einstein's Notes
and Smokin' Notes do is summarize. Summary is not,
and never has been, a violation 'of copyright. Despite
what Alexander may claim, note-takers are indeed con-
tributing value when they summarize lecture material
and organize concepts into learning aids.
Copyright law has always recognized summary as a
valid derivative work protected as a fair use under law,
as it should.
What's next in the copyright crusade Cliff's Notes?


Gavin Baker Movie reviews? Book reports?
Speaking Out The very same law tha t alo I s-
scholarly quotation, commentar\
and criticism protects note-takers,
even if they make money without paying the pro.ts;.c.rrs
extra. When was the last time you paid an au t hor i.be
paper you cited?
The free flow of information is essential in a demo-:
cratic society. The ability to summarize, quote or -ep,)rI
the words of another person, without asking an\ .:.nec's
permission or paying any royalty, is key to ensuring a
free exchange of thoughts. I"
Furthermore, even if the law allowed professors to
prosecute note-takers, they should not. Legal rights doi
not always equate with, moral rights. Everyone should
abhor the use of copyright as a bludgeon to silence
speech and creativity.
Unfortunately, copyright and other so-called "intel-
lectual property" laws are used precisely in this manner
time and again. The shift from viewing copyrights as the
limited monopolies they are to seeing them as a form of
property is dangerous, unprecedented and extreme.
If the world is to 'remain free to create and com-i
municate, copyright law must retain its balances and
protections. Copyright serves an important purpose ini
providing incentives for creators. However, we must'
remember its ultimate purpose and ensure that its ex-;
clusive rights do not come before the public good.
Academics, of all people, should support a view of'
copyright that encourages the dissemination of informa-
tion the primary purpose of a university. Threatening
companies that produce educational aids is poor behav-
ior for an institution that exists to educate.
Gavin Baker is a former Alligator writer and the president
of Florida Free Culture, a student group that works to reform .
copyright law.

Letters to the Editor
Copyright doesn't cover notes
While it is understandable that
some professors are disgruntled
about note-taking services (ac-
cording to Tuesday's "Notes for
profit may violate law"), saying
that these note-takers violate "[a
professor's] intellectual property" is
simply absurd. Professor Laurence
Alexander's claims were made
without a true understanding of
copyright law.
The copyrighting of "[intangible]
ideas, concepts ... or principles"
without written explanation is pro-
hibited by the U.S. Copyright Office.
If these note-taking services took
information from a copyrighted
journal or textbook Alexander wrote
and resold it for personal gain, these
claims would have merit. However,
the services don't.
'Students pay for classes to
receive credit at a respected educa-
tional institution, but they attend
class to gain knowledge. What's
to keep students from profiting off
the knowledge they receive from
attending class? Is that violating a
professor's intellectual property?
All knowledge builds on itself.
The idea of using knowledge for
personal gain is the exact reason
knowledge exists be it for
monetary gain or personal expan-
sion. Limiting the spread of this
knowledge, and any profit one may
receive from it, violates something
greater than any person's intellec-
tual property.

Abortion images show reality
The images of aborted fetuses
on campus Tuesday were shocking
and emotional; nevertheless, they
were true. Society imagines abor-
,tion as a benign procedure that
simply removes a tissue mass, -but
the pictures show the truth a tiny,
innocent person is killed in every
abortion.
Some may argue that graphic
images are simply "emotional
manipulation." However, graphic
visual tools have historically been
used to teach about other moral is-
sues. For example, the history of the
Holocaust is taught with disturbing
images we've all seen pictures
of mutilated bodies stacked in un-
marked graves. -
After former President Dwight
D. Eisenhower saw the Nazi death
camp in Ohrdruf during World War
II, he ordered as many soldiers as
possible to see the camps, saying:
"We are told that the American sol-
dier does.not know what he is fight-
ing for. Now, at least he will know
what he is fighting against."
To censor abortion images is
inconsistent and intellectually dis-
honest.
Graphic images are emotional
because tl ty tell the truth, and the
truth is upsetting. The pictures of-
fend because they depict something
deeply offensive happening to a
defenseless human child.
So which side in the abortion
debate is cruel? The one that shows
pictures of dead babies while op-
posing their killing or' the one that
opposes showing the pictures and
defends their killing?

IN THE BOONIES


By KEVIN MAHADEO
Avenue Writer
In April 1999, America took a trip
down to the Boondocks.
Syndicated in over 300 publications
nationwide, "The Boondocks" comic
strip serves as one of the most contro-
versial yet influential pieces of social
commentary, addressing issues ranging
from racial stereotypes to interracial
marriages to juvenile delinquency.
The strip is taking the next step in
animation evolution into television.
"I've been trying to sell (the show)
to one person or another for the past
five years," said series creator Aaron
McGruder during a conference-call in-
terview Oct. 25.
The strip and subsequent series
follows the exploits of the highly intel-
ligent 10-year-old Huey, his thuggish
brother Riley and their eccentric guard-
ian, Robert "Granddad" Freeman.


Wanting a more relaxing life during
his last days, Granddad moves the kids
from the rough 'n' tough South Side
of Chicago to the lily-white suburban
neighborhood of Westlake.
The kids don't approve of the move,
and hilarity ensues in the form of socio-
political commentary.
The series was pitched to several
networks, including Fox, Showtime
and HBO Family, with Fox coming the
closest to picking it up.
Fox ended up passing on the show;
however, McGruder said the intended
Fox pilot was so awful that he hopes
no' one will ever be. subjected to view-
ing it.
It wasn't until McGruder was offered
an opportunity by Cartoon Network's
Adult Swim that "The Boondocks"
would find itself a place where it would
fit in like a missing puzzle piece.
"Adult Swim understood the show
the best," McGruder said.


Courtesy Photo
Aaron McGruder's comic strip, "The Boondocks," known for its controversial
commentary, comes to Adult Swim on Cartoon Network on Sunday.


McGruder said he had much more
creative freedom on cable, where he
could expand the world of the strip
and have a lot more fun compared to
network television.
With Adult Swim,
he had much more
leeway and was hard-
I ly given any restric-
tions when it came to
his work.
While the strip is
known for its harsh,
McGruder and often politically
incorrect, social com-
mentary, McGruder said he does try
to be responsible when it comes to the
subject matter of his work.
He doesn't just do anything or say
anything.
"Creative freedom is yours until
someone takes it away from you," he
said. "I.E., the person who pays the
bills."
An educated man (although he jok-
ingly remarked, "Who told you that?"
when referred to as such), McGruder is
often seen as a powerful representative
voice of black Americans.
However, McGruder insists it is
other people that impose this label on
him.
"I don't want to mislead people into
thinking I'm a political leader. It's jokes
and satire," McGruder said. "With
the void to black political leadership,
people turn to black entertainers."
The -new series is set to be much
more character driven than the previ-
ous short blurbs about current social
situations.
McGruder said he wants to focus
on storytelling with the new series. He
said it was difficult to tell an effective
story in a three-frame strip.
To assist in this area, McGruder in-
corporates an animation style similar
to that of Japanese anime, of which
he is a fan. A live-action program was
completely out of the question because
"it would have sucked," he said, chuck-
ling.
McGruder said he felt the Japanese
style would properly convey the neces-
sary mood and emotions for the series.
The series is set to premiere Sunday
at 11 p.m., and McGruder's prospects
on the show seem optimistic:
"Obviously they're good or else I
wouldn't have wasted a damn year and
,a half of my life," he said, laughing.

Horror King turns to comics


By KAROLENA BIELECKI
Get Graphic

Things are about to get a lot
more graphic for fans of Stephen
King's epic series "The Dark
Tower."
One of the most popular fic-
tion writers of our time will write
a comic book for Marvel Comics
beginning in April.
Arguably the biggest news
to hit the comic industry this
year, the miniseries is to be set in


King's mystical Western realm. It
revolves around the hero, Roland
of Gilead, placed in a flashback
during book four of the novel
series, "Wizard and Glass."
Marvel also announced that
the miniseries will be illustrated
by fan favorite and Eisner award-
winning artist Jae Lee.
Why are people making such a
fuss about this?
Well, unless you've been living
under a rock, you know Stephen
King. He has written more than


40 novels, and his seven-book
"Dark Tower" chronicle alone
has a fan base of millions.
Initially, the series will come
out monthly until the story arc
is finished, when it will undoubt-
edly be composed into a graphic
novel. This means some die-hard
King fans may step into a comic
shop for the first time in their
lives.
Just think: For every 10 people
who check out King's comic,
maybe one or two will go, "Well,
what's Batman up to?" or, "I've
always. liked Captain America,
but I haven't read the comics
since I was a kid."
Think of King's comic, named,
creatively enough, "Stephen
King's The Dark Tower," as a
gateway comic leading main-
stream readers into the genre's
realm.
And of course, Marvel Comics'
editor in chief hopes the relation-
'ship with King grows fruitfully. If
so, fans may see King take on a
classic Marvel character.
But this isn't the first time a
writer of "real books" has, made
the jump to comics.
Orson Scott Card, author of
the "Ender's Game" series, is
writing "Ultimate Iron Man" and
doing a fantastic job.
Even film and television writ-
ers and directors, like Kevin
Smith and Joss Whedon,. have
tried their hand at comics and
done remarkably well by comic-
readers in the past.
Whedon, the creator of televi-
sion shows "Buffy the Vampire
'Slayer," "Angel" and "Firefly,"
has swept readers off their feet
with his work on "Astonishing
X-Men."
But the bottom line is that
Stephen King is a household
name.
In the words of Marty McFly
in "Back to the Future," this is
heavy.


Novel within a


novel disappoints
I have to admit that John Crowley's latest novel, "Lord Byron's
Novel: The Evening Land," is despite my concerns both before
and after reading it a highly entertaining work of fiction. It's
well-imagined and thoughtfully constructed.
The story operates on three alternating structural levels.
The initial level is that of Byron's novel "The Evening Land,"
an imaginary book supposedly written by the late, great Romantic
poet in the early 19th century. The novel is similar in tone and
general theme to Byron's long, great poems, "Childe Harold's
Pilgrimage" and "Don Juan," though it lacks the former's self-
awareness and the latter's depth of scope and irony.
The second level is the story of Ada Lovelace, famous not only
as Byron's estranged daughter but as the author of the world's first
computer program. Lovelace has found, encoded and annotated
her father's lost novel, hoping to preserve it and to understand her
lost father by carefully annotating it in terms of Byron's own life.
The third narrative level is that of Smith and Lee, an estranged
daughter and father who bear a striking resemblance to Lovelace
and Byron.
James They collaborate by
Fleming e-mail on deciphering, au-
Off the Press thenticating and. interpret-
theavenue@alligator.org ing Byron's newly discov-
ered novel and Lovelace's
accompanying notes.
As melodramatic and hokey as it might sound, the novel actu-
ally works, at least as a piece of entertainment. The relationship
between Smith and Lee is unique, well-developed and one of the
more interesting child-parent relationships I've seen explored in
recent fiction.
Lovelace's annotations are sad and desperate. Through her
notes, we watch her struggle with attempting to approach and
understand her father logically and methodically, something that
ultimately proves impossible to do.
However, the book's greatest weakness is certainly the novel
"The Evening Land" itself.
Having read and reread everything Byron wrote, I wasn't able
to suspend my disbelief while reading Byron's "novel." It just
doesn't sound like him.
That's not to say that Crowley's attempt at literary imperson-
ation isn't remarkable. Clearly lie knows Byron well and under-
stands how he tended to order and structure his thoughts.
At times Crowley even nails it, if only for 'a line or two, but he
isn't able to keep up any sort of momentum. Byron was never as
obvious as Crowley imagines him or as honest.
Maybe I'm picking at straws here. I question the wisdom of
Crowley's decision to write Byron's imaginary novel and provide
it to us in its entirety.
Crowley's novel would have been much stronger if "The
Evening Land" was left to our imagination, and the novel itself
focused on Lovelace's annotations and the relationship between
Smith and Lee.

Rolling Stone: UF doesn't rock


Does Gainesville still rock?
Apparently, Rolling Stone
magazine does not think so.
In issue 980, Rolling Stone wrote an
article called "Schools that Rock," which
listed what they called the Top 10 schools
for music lovers to attend..
A book was recently-published under
the same title, by the same author that
lists the Top 50 schools that rock. The cri-
teria for choosing the schools was finding
those with interesting music programs,
Jenny Eliscu, the writer of the article and
book, said in a phone interview.
"The book was meant to be as com-
prehensive as possible ... to highlight
the best or most interesting or unique,"
she said.
Other criteria involved the city in
which the school was located. Eliscu
named factors such as strong indepen-
dent music stores, music festivals and
cities with thriving music scenes, local
bands, more than one good venue and
big bands regularly playing in town.
A similar Top 10 list was published
by Rolling Stone in 2003 that listed
Gainesville as No. 9. On the new list UF
and Gainesville are curiously absent.
Eliscu said she could not recall the 2003


article and that she did not write it, so she
could not comment on it. '
She said there was no editorial deci-
sion made that said Gainesville rocked
two years ago and now does not. Some
,places were left off the list because of
limited resources, she said. Eliscu did not
personally visit each city. She had writers
cover different cities and report back.
John Duff, direc-
tor of UF's School of
Music, said he is not
concerned that UF did
not make the list.
"The factors that
seem to be of interest
to Rolling Stone have little to do with
the music programs, but rather what op-
portunities and experiences exist around
the general campus and the surrounding
community," Duff said.
Duff listed a staggering number of
accomplishments and honors that both
music students and professors have
achieved as examples of how strong the
School of Music is.
Jason Rockhill, co-owner of Common
Grounds and a Gainesville resident
since 1993, said a list like Rolling Stone's
should not be taken too seriously.


"You can't really give much credibility
to Rolling Stone's arbitrary list of college
towns that have music scenes," he said.
Gainesville missed a few things the
past few years, like a big venue in town
to bring in touring bands and breakout
bands, Rockhill said.
"Before we (Common Grounds)
moved here, there was not a place
where anyone who
Rachael Ryals drew more than 200
Plalist R people could play a
Playlist show any night of the
heavenue@alligator.org week," Rockhill said.
"We (Gainesville)
have kind of been off
the radar for booking agencies and bands
and lots of stuff, so we have had this big
void."
Lifelong Gainesville resident and
dedicated music fan Jay Maggio dis-
agrees. He said Gainesville is producing
great bands that already are big or are on
the way to getting signed.
"Against Me! has just been in Rolling
Stone, Entertainment Weekly, opened for
Green Day and played Conan O' Brien.
They are going to be huge," Maggio said.
"We have the bands, so I don't think it
matters."

50 Cent confident despite controversy of new flick


By MARIA LAVERGHETTA
Avenue Writer

First, Eminem did it with "8 Mile." Now,
Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson will follow suit
with "Get Rich or Die Tryin'."
Backed with a script by "The Sopranos"
writer Terence Winter and directed by Jim
Sheridan, 50 Cent will star in the critically
acclaimed film in theaters Nov. 9.
Like Prince's 1984 movie, "Get Rich or
Die Tryin'" is loosely based on 50 Cent's
life. He plays Marcus, an inner-city drug
dealer who gets out of the business to pur-
sue his true passion of rap music. While the
movie highlights his past, 50 Cent said in
an Oct. 26 conference call that the film is not
completely factual. .
"Some reporting (in the film) is accu-
rate," 50 Cent said. "Some is just fabricated
for the interests of the public."
He said one point where the movie
breaks from his life is when his character
Marcus is shot in a car. This doesn't cor-
relate to his actual life experience; 50 Cent
was shot nine times in Queens in 2000.
Even though 50 Cent is optimistic on
how the movie will be remembered, contro-
versy surrounds the film's release because


of the depiction of guns in the movie's
promotional billboards. The controversy
doesn't worry 50 Cent, though. He said the
negative publicity intrigues people and that
guns are often used in marketing for films.
"Because I'm coming from music, they
feel like it is promoting violence. You have
to accept it," 50 Cent said. "You have to
learn to take it for what it is."
He said that he saw the film role as a
chance for him to step out of his normal
public role and show his fans his true col-
ors.
"I become human through the film,"
50 Cent said. "There are a lot of different
things I did in the film that I wouldn't do
in music."
His debut album, "Get Rich or Die
Tryin'," was released in 2003 and sold
900,000 copies in the first week, according
to the Internet Movie Database Inc. Web
site. Because of his CD's popularity, 50 Cent
said he wanted to use the same title for his
acting debut.
"It's aggressive," he said. "Because the
masses associate "Get Rich or Die Tryin"'
with 50 Cent, I titled my film after it. I
probably generate the interest of 44 million
people."

Jam band O.A.R. (Of A

O.A.R. has been one of the most
student-requested bands, SGP chair-
man Joey Van de Bogart said.
"I personally believe that a large
group of the student body would
be interested in seeing O.A.R.," he
said.
Van de Bogart said he tries to
bring in a diverse selection of con-
certs that will please students.


Past concerts this semester in-
clude Yerba Buena and Bacilos dur-
ing Hispanic Heritage Month and
rapper Kanye West.
"My job is to gauge the students'
interest in music," Van de Bogart
said.
O.A.R. attracted legions of fans
through their grassroots advertis-
ing, according to an SGP press


release. Lava Records released the
newest O.A.R. album, "Stories of a
Stranger," in October.
According to O.A.R.'s website,
the new album is "Accomplished,
relevant, and most importantly a
voice of optimism in a world filled
with doubt. The songs on the record
were hand picked from a well full of
stylistically diverse tunes each with


a story to tell."
O.A.R.- will be paid $50,000 by
SGP, Van de Bogart said. There will
be about 8,000 to 10,000 tickets avail-
able. Tickets for UF. students went
on sale Wednesday for $12.

'Jarhead' depicts emotional side of first Gulf War


Most war movies become
classics due to infamous
battle scenes and action.
While the latest military movie is
definitely in the action genre, it is
not because of over-the-top action.
"Jarhead," the directorial proj-
ect from Sam Mendes ("American
Beauty"), shows an alternate side
of war the waiting game. Jake
Gyllenhaal stars as U.S. Marine
Anthony Swofford, a 20-year-old
third-generation
enlistee in the
scout/sniper unit
during the first
Gulf War.
Mendes fol-
lows "Swoff" from boot camp
through rigorous sniper training
and into his time in the Middle
East.
Swoff and his fantastic sup-
porting cast of fellow Marines, in-
cluding Peter Sarsgaard ("Garden
State"), find themselves trudging
through the blazing desert, fight-
ing for a cause they don't fully
comprehend against an enemy
that is never really present.
Jamie Foxx ("Ray") redeems
himself from his lousy perfor-


mance in "Stealth" as Sgt. Siek,
a lifelong Marine- who heads up
Swoff's unit.
Based on the 2003 best-sell-
ing book written by Swofford
himself, Mendes depicts a com-
pletely different side of war;
focusing more on the emotions
and feelings of the soldiers in it,
rather than the factual accounts
and military details.
Nothing is sugar-coated, and
everything is
Melissa presented in a
Filipkowski very in-your-
The Reel Life face manner.
theavenue@alligator.org M a r in e
-customs and
situations, which I thought were
merely Semper Fi rumors, are
brought to the screen in moments
that are either completely hilari-,
ous or utterly tragic.
The entire movie is built on
mounting tension and the threat
of the enemy in the distance, as
the soldiers become more and
more confused about the reasons
they have gone to fight.
At the same time, the soldiers
desperately cling to whatever
lives they have left at home, and


we sadly watch as some of their
home lives unravel as their stay
in the desert drags on.
Political overtones are heavy
in the movie. Mendes does a
fabulous job of relating the film
to what is going on in the Middle
East now.
Whether you are -a Democrat
or a Republican, it makes you


think twice about the soldiers
fighting in Iraq.
Mendes showcases' each
Marine as an individual and pays
tribute to the hard work and ded-
ication it takes to be a soldier.
-Male camaraderie and bonding
is also cleverly depicted.
The acting is superbly execut-
ed, and I wouldn't be surprised


.---.- --....
to see Peter Sarsgaard nominated
for some type of award for his
supporting role in the film.
If you go into the movie with
an open mind and don't expect
an epic "Gladiator" bloodbath,
you may find yourself wrapped
in the Semper Fi experience. You
may even shout "hoora" with the
rest of them.


It takes two to tango; good sex requires more than a partner


Like picking the fastest line in the
grocery store or the right day to skip
class, sex is always a gamble.
No matter how much observation,
investigation and analysis, you can't tell
someone's sexual prowess until you sleep
with him or her.
In fact, in many cases, you can't even re-
ally know until you've slept with the person
a few times.
But as human nature teaches us to find
what we want to see, people will find a way
to validate sleeping with the guy they're
into.
Well, he gives a really good massage,
they'll say, or he's got great rhythm when
he dances.
And then the same five words follow:


You know what that means.
But, really, "that" means nothing.
Of course, it doesn't seem that way.
After lousy sex, all the clues that should
have told you he was going to be bad scream
just as loudly as the ones that told you he'd
be a god.
And in the vein of the
adage about hindsight, we
try to learn from our mis-
takes and move on.
Somehow though, we
never really learn any-
thing.
It's because we rarely consider the one
constant in all of our bad sexual experiences:
ourselves.
Always placing the blame leaves out


a significant portion of the cast. It's also
hypocritical, because when the sex is good,
everyone likes to take some credit.
You hear "we had great sex" when it's
good, but "he/she was bad in bed" when
it's not.


Mr. Lube
Risqu6 Business
theavenue@alligator.org


The only way to in-
crease your odds in sexual
roulette is to look to your-
self.
For me, mediocre sex
stems from going after
what I knew I didn't re-


ally want.
I remember being with one guy who
was smart, sensitive and emotionally sup-
portive.
Beyond that, he was great at making me


feel comfortable and at ease, which seemed
like good signs.
He was even an inventive kisser, which I,
always like in a guy.
So then I- started expounding his good
signs into character traits, and that's when
things began to fall apart.
I reasoned that if he understood my
thoughts and emotions, he'd understand
my body as well.When we slept together, I
learned that sensitivity doesn't translate to
sexual finesse.
Even worse was his inability to take sug-
gestions; instead he felt insulted.
With him, what I mistook as sensitivity
was really insecurity.
So even though the signs were there, the
destination turned out to be a letdown.

Metal returns; Daylight dim


GAME REVIEW

'Conflict' blurs reality


Children of Bodom
Are You Dead Yet?
Fontana Int'l


r. ." Let's be honest. Metal of late
has sucked. The word has been
twisted and bastardized to mean anything you
want it to mean. Poison is metal. Kiss -is metal.
Metallica is metal. Disturbed is metal.
Now, hit yourself on the head hard enough
to forget every musical nugget in your brain. In
this amnesiac state, put in Children of Bodom's
"Are You Dead Yet?"
This is metal. It gently pushes you to once
again listen to and like that musical genre
you gave up on. The band's fifth album digs out
elements hidden in every comer of metal's dark
basement. The drumming is fast, intricate and
still somehow bare bones. The guitar sound is
classic, stealing sonic squeals from Randy
Rhoads and still able to chunk through heavy
riffs. The addition of keyboard to the songs
gives the band its own angle and voice.
One of the few discrepancies of the CD is
the vocals. Frontman Alexi Laiho's vocals don't
stand out too much on any song and are almost
never melodic. He screams his way through
every track, which is fine, but it dumbs down.
songs with infinite potential. Even so, if by the
third and best track from the Finnish band
"If You Want Peace... Prepare for War," you're
not pumping your fist in the air and banging
your head, you probably never liked metal.


Dropping Daylight
Take a Photograph E.P.
Octone Records

The Minneapolis-based band Dropping
Daylight is in an odd situation: The piano- is
the coolest instrument in the band. Lead singer
and Berklee-trained pianist Sebastian Davin
makes his band stick out by dropping insanely
varied and virtuous key-tickling licks to every
song on Dropping Daylight's new E.P. "Take a
Photograph." The problem is nothing rocks but
the piano. Without it, the band is hackneyed.
Like every other emo band, Dropping
Daylight is too melodramatic. Some of the
lyrical content is so sophomoric, you roll your
eyes. Even the best song on the album, "Lucy,"
contains the exhibitionist lines, "Chatting with
each other's exes and friends we made love
with/Circling the crowd/Speaking very loud/
So we can find each other, steal a kiss and cop a
feel in front of everyone."
The song holds hints of where the band
should go. The verses sound like Rufus
Wainwright if he was singing about a girl, and
the piano is at most playful. Davin's voice is
enjoyable, until he puts aggression in it.
Ultimately, though there are hints of prom-
ise sporadically sprinkled through the songs,
Dropping Daylight's traditional rock section
just doesn't rock enough.

n the new third-person shooter
game "Conflict Global Terror"
by Pivotal Games for-PS2, Xbox
and PC, gamers battle through more
than a dozen modern war zones of
squad-based gameplay using four
distinctively talented, yet noticeably
cliche soldiers.
Bradley is the stealthy, balanced
leader. Jones is a mouthy demoli-
tions specialist.


Sherman is a deadly
sniper. Connors is a
one-man army.
Despite the hack-


a ;


neyed characters, I
found it fun to watch
them argue. But none of that mat-
tered since "Conflict" is all about
the shooting. And that is where it
excels.
Gainers can switch control to
each soldier individually or assign
complex orders to AI partners.
While positioning and ordering
soldiers is effective, the game's AI
responds poorly when flanked.
For this reason, the game is im-
pressively hard because the flanking
happens constantly due to the sheer
number of enemies.
In battle, "Conflict" blends the


perfect mix of realistic limits and
impossible feats.
For example, while soldiers can
carry huge loads of equipment, they
can tear through their ammo unless
the gamer uses short controlled
bursts to keep down their recoil.
While health packs can revive a
solider from any wound, they are
always a necessity, since only a few

shots (or one to
the head) will
drop a team-
mate.
.Most en-
emies are inac-


curate, at long
distances, but fatal up close. This
excludes tanks, vhich are the stuff
of nightmares and often require the
entire squad to distract and destroy.
The graphics are crisp and define
a variety of distinct environments,
but like all others, will become obso-
lete later this month with the release
of the Xbox 360.
At times, the music seems a
little porn-ish, but I was pleasantly
surprised that the Xbox version
lets me play my own off the hard
drive. Goodbye cheesy techno, hello

Casey attributes resurgence to superstitious habits


By LOUIS ANASTASIS
Alligator Staff Writer
lanastasis@alligator.org


Tate Casey figured that if he
wasn't leaving his mark on the field
during games, he would have to do

it beforehand.
Before Saturday's game against
Georgia, with seven games of frus-
tration in the books, Casey air-au-
tographed and patted the goalposts
at Alltel Stadium. It was a routine
he had established last season but


hadn't done this season because UF
has dedicated less time to pregame
activities, The sophomore tight end
went on to catch three passes and a
touchdown in the Bulldogs win.
"I was joking around with one
of the equipment managers, tell-

in Jacksonville.


ing him that it worked last year
every game," Casey said. "Then it
worked Saturday. It was just some-
thing in my mind that I thought I'd
try out."
Yes, Casey plans on autograph-
ing goalposts for the remainder of
the season, but superstitions aside,
it finally looks like he has found his
place in the offense.
Casey's three catches Saturday
equaled his number of receptions
from the previous seven games
combined.
Is it a coincidence that Coach
Urban Meyer has scaled down the
offense to incorporate more tight
end and full back sets?
"I knew that this offense had
to get better, that there was a way
it could, and they put it in," Casey
said. "I didn't for one second think
I wasn't going to score, or that I
wasn't going to get any more recep-
tions this year."
Meyer admits Casey is a big part
of the changes but says there's more
to the sophomore's slow start than
just the offense. Meyer criticized
Casey's work ethic during practices
until last week when he said the
tight end started improving.
"It's not like all of a sudden we
were like, 'Hey, let's get the ball to
the tight end,'" Meyer said. "He's
just been getting better. Six weeks
ago there was no intention to get it
to him because in practice he wasn't
making plays. But he's doing much
better now."
Perhaps it is the way Casey has
handled the criticism that explains
what he did Saturday and what he
is likely to do for the remainder of
the season.
"What players think sometimes


"I knew that this offense
had to get better, that
there was a way it could,
and they put it in. I didn't
for one second think I
wasn't going to score or
that I wasn't going to get
any more receptions this
year."
Tate Casey
UF tight end

that they're getting done, some-
times in the coach's mind they're
not," Casey said. "He's the head
man. Whatever he says goes, and
you kind of have to take that chal-
lenge."
Now, the player who caught
four touchdowns last season has
something besides .blocking to be
psyched about. With Dallas Baker
nursing an ankle injury and Andre
Caldwell out for the season, Casey
can provide a pressure release for
the still-evolving offense.
"Being able to have a tight end
as a great weapon, that always
helps you," quarterback Chris Leak
said. "He's done a good job getting
his routes down, and he's a-eal
threat to the defense."
For Casey, catching balls again
means so much more. It validates
his roster spot. It gives him a reason
to look forward to practice.
"It just feels good to get back
in the swing of things and maybe
get a little swagger," he said. "I'm
going to come back next week and
hopefully do the same or even bet-
ter."


Halloween weekend leaves Tenacious E with a mixed bag of goodies


Tn the spirit of Halloween, here's a mixed
bag of thoughts on the world of sports that
could bring more joy to your Thursday than

You had to figure that at some point

While Spurrier probably would have loved

game, so if he can't go, it should give Big Play
Chad Jackson an opportunity to re-don his
downfield cleats. For one reason or another,
Jackson has seen his role in the ever-changing
offense reduced to an underneath and hitch
route machine.
I'm not going to knock a coaching staff that
has done an incredible job with this team, but
Jackson's potential still screams of NFL.
Draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. rates Jackson sec-
ond to Ohio State's Santonio Holmes among
wide receivers in the junior class. But in the
mean time, Jackson isn't letting his long-
term goals interfere with the race for the SEC
Championship.
"Depending how the season goes, if I leave
or I stay, I still got it in my mind," Jackson said
this week. "But right now, I'm just focusing

BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Revamped Santa Fe team debuts tonight


* UF WOMEN'S FRESHMAN FORCED
TO LEAVE GAINESVILLE WITH INJURY.
Last year the Santa Fe Community College
men's basketball team used its athleticism,
depth and talent to dominate teams en route to
a 25-4 record. At one point the Saints were 20-0
and ranked in the top 5 nationally.
BYut as the Saints head back to the court to-
night against Oxford College in the SFCC Tip Off
Classic, they'll be without seven of the team's top
10 players from a year ago due to graduation.
"We have a completely different team,"
Coach Chris Mowry said. "We have a lot of true
freshmen that were very good in high school at
successful programs. Now, they are going to be
playing against everyone else who was. good in
high school."
The Saints- brought in a talented recruiting
class that includes several of last year's all-state
high school players from Florida and Georgia's
Class A Player of the Year, Tracy Rankins.
While the freshmen certainly need to con-
tribute for the Saints to be successful, much of
the weight falls on the shoulders of the three re-
turning sophomores: guards Devin Harden and
Torrance Walker and forward Dionte Perry. All
three played significant roles last year, but with
the departure of so many players, their roles


have expanded. Not only are they expected to
perform well on the court, but they also have to
serve as mentors to the freshmen.
"They try to lead by example and tell other
guys what to expect," Mowry said. "I've been
happy with their effort and leadership."
After facing Oxford College tonight, the
Saints will host Middle
Georgia on Friday.
"We have some talented
kids, we just need to get them
to take care of the ball and de-
fend," Mowry said. "If we do
those things, I think we have
a chance to have a very good
Mowry team.,
.The Santa Fe women's
team opens its season on Friday when they host
Miami-Dade Community College. The team is
looking to bounce back from a disappointing
season, finishing 5-21.

DEPARTURE: Freshman guard LaToya Bullard
has returned home due to injury and is not
expected back until the spring semester, UF
coach Carolyn Peck said Wednesday.


Bullard, a Memphis, Tenn., native, injured
her hamstring in December, and the nagging
injury caused her problems walking straight
before fall practice began.
At home, Bullard will be able to concentrate
on medical treatment and not have to worry
about getting around campus, Peck said.
"You've got to park your scooter one place
and walk somewhere else," Peck said. "It's
just tough."
Bullard's teammates noticed her suffering.
"We knew that she was in a lot of pain,"
senior Sarah Lowe said. "She really wanted to
stay here, but the demands of having to walk
to and from class and all that stuff was just re-
ally hurting her back."
Bullard's playing status for next semester
will be determined by how much progress she
makes rehabilitating.
"I don't know if this is something that
could heal and be ready by January, or if it's
something that could be healed. But then
there's a rehab that needs to occur," Peck said.
"I'm not going to put any of my players on the
floor hurt."

UF SOCCER

Gators to defend SEC title


By SPENCER DAVIS-VANNNESS
Alligator Writer
sdvanness@alligator.org

Utter dominance.
There's no other way to put it. In its 11-year his-
tory, the UF soccer team has failed to advance to the
SEC Tournament title match just once.
That makes nine trips to the final game with seven
trophies to show for it, including a streak of six con-
secutive titles from 1996 to 2001.
Today the Gators will try to defend their 2004
championship with a first-round SEC Tournament
match against Auburn.
The Tigers handed UF its only non-final-round loss
in 1995.
Auburn enters the game as an enigma. After a
successful conference start and forcing an overtime
match in its early season match with UF, the Tigers
faltered late, dropping their final three games.
UF coach Becky Burleigh doesn't know quite what
to make of her opponents' recent struggles.
"You can either look at it two ways," she said.
"One is that's not a good trend. The other is you need
to break that trend at some point."
Either way, the Gators won't take the Tigers lightly,
senior forward Lindsey DeLorenze said.
"We know what a big deal this is, and that it could
be our last game, but we're pretty much expecting it


not to be," she said.
For the second year in a row, the Gators enter the
tournament with a somewhat underdog status, as
Tennessee earned the No. 1 seed.
"We weren't expected to do well in the SEC
Tournament last year, and we proved them wrong,"
DeLorenze said.
"We weren't expected to do well in
the SEC Tournament last year, and we
proved them wrong."
Lindsey DeLorenze
UF forward

Part of a program steeped in history with the
upcoming tournament, UF's seniors often take vocal
roles in developing the attitudes of younger players.
"[The seniors] have told us to keep playing like
every game is our last because you never really know
if it will be or not," freshman midfielder Megan Kerns
said.
But this year's senior class will not dwell in past
success.
"Our record doesn't state that we are good at any-
thing," said Jen Gardner, UF goalkeeper and fifth-year
senior. "Our record states that we need to win some
games." Y


UF struggles against top QBs


CUTLER, from page 24

Mississippi State lost its
starting quarterback, Omarr
Conner in the first half against
the Gators as well.
But in UF's two losses this
year, the Gators faced experi-
enced opposing quarterbacks
- Croyle of Alabama and
LSU's JaMarcus Russell.
In addition to his experi-
ence, Cutler also presents a
running threat for the Gators'
defense.
In the 2002 and 2003 games
against UF, the Commodores'
quarterback was also their
leading rusher.
"Vanderbilt has a dual-
threat quarterback," Meyer
said. "He reminds me a lot of
Shockley actually, but Cutler
may even be a little stronger.
Anytime you have a quarter-


back who can take direct snaps
and run with it, that limits what
you can do on defense."
The Gators' defense will
have to pull double duty this
weekend, since it will be facing
a mobile quarterback.
"Obviously, we have to get
pressure on him because he's -
the quarterback," defensive
tackle Steven Harris said. "But
we have to contain him at
the same time because he can
run."
Meyer believes that Cutler is
a guy who has the heart to play
in the NFL next season.
"He is a tough nut," Meyer
said. "He's a guy who gets
you that extra yard and makes
plays when they're not even
there. He's an accurate passer,
but there are a lot of accurate
passers in this league. Cutler is
a big, tough guy who you bet-
ter keep in front of you."

OFF THE BEATEN PATH

UF studer
By JENNA MARINA
Alligator Contributing Writer

There's an old saying that goes,
"You are what you eat."
If that is true, then what in the
world is UF graduate student Hall
Hunt?
lijant, 24, participates in competi-
tive eating competitions around the
country and is currently ranked
the No. 30 eater in the world by
the International Federation of
Competitive'Eating.
Hunt has participated in a vari-
ety of eating contests ranging from
Krystal hamburgers to Johnsonville
Brats to grilled cheese sandwiches.
On Oct. 17, the eating machine
consumed 20 grilled cheese sand-
wiches in 10 minutes to win $1,000
at the GoldenPalace.com qualifier
in Raleigh, N.C. He will compete
in the GoldenPalace.com World
Grilled Cheese Sandwich Eating
Championship later this semester.
Hunt's passion in November
2004 began when he entered a sushi-
eating contest at the Dragonfly Sushi
& Sake Company in Gainesville.
"My friends were always like,
'You're a big eater. You could do
that,'" he said. "It helped me dis-
cover my talent."
Hunt ate 24 jumbo California
rolls in 5 minutes and won the con-
test. Afterward he searched for more.
contests and found several hosted
by the IFOCE.

t finds success in competitive eating
IFOCE, maintains that competitive
eating is a sport.
"It is a physical activity governed
by a set of rules, and eaters refine
their skills over time," he said in
an e-mail. "I would argue it isas
inherent to man as both running
and jumping, both of which are in
the Olympics."
Hunt said that competing in the
sport is tough and requires training.
"I drink large quantities of water
to try to stretch my stomach, so I can
get that competitive edge," he said.
"The only way you can be competi-
tive is if you train, just like in any
other sport.
"People think it's easy, and any-
one can do it. I encourage anyone
who thinks that to get to a sanc-
tioned event and try it out."
Hunt runs marathons to keep off
any weight gain from the calories he
consumes and says he will stop eat-
ing only if it affects his health.
His long-term goal is to make it to
the final round of Nathan's Famous
hot dog eating contest, which has
occurred annually since 1916.

Meyer considers Vandy QB real threat to UF defense


* CUTLER CURRENTLY LEADS THE
SEC IN PASSING.

By FARZAD SAFI

While the entire Gator nation focused on
Georgia quarterback D.J. Shockley's health
last week, one of the best quarterbacks UF
will face all year heads to .the Swamp this


weekend.
Surprisingly, the Southeastern
Conference's coaches did not select Chris
Leak, Alabama's Brodie Croyle or even
Shockley as the league's preseason top quar-
terback.
No, Vanderbilt's Jay Cutler got the nod..
While most fans think of the Commodores
as habitual losers, Coach Urban Meyer
showed great respect for their leader.
"Cutler is definitely a difference maker,"
Meyer said. "I admire him. I've admired him


even before this week because I saw how
much he competed against
great teams like Georgia
and LSU."
Even though Vanderbilt
started the season strong
and has struggled lately,
Cutler's numbers haven't
fluctuated too much. He
currently leads the SEC in
Cutler passing average and total
offense with 251.9 yards per game.


"It should be a good challenge for our de-
fense," defensive end Jarvis Moss said. "I'm
looking forward to facing Cutler because he's
a good football player."
While the Gators' defense has been the
team's strength this year, it hasn't had to face
a very talented crop of quarterbacks.
Georgia lost Shockley a week before its
match up with the Gators that thrust Joe
Tereshinski into his first career start.

By JUSTIN RICHARDS Alligator Writer jrichards@alligator.org The University Athletic Association continues to report record attendance at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, but those breaking the records are not fans but media and concessions staff, a UAA official said. Gators spectators have filled the stadium's 88,548 seats at every game since it was expanded for the 2003 season. "Every home football game has sold out since 1989," said Zack Higbee, assistant director of sports information. But recent record-breaking attendance figures reported -90,707 on Sept. 4; 90,716 on Sept. 16; 90,104 at the Homecoming game -encompass everyone present in the stadium, including players; band members, media,, concessions and support staff. "When we say, 'Today's Student attendance is.,' it is bodies LWO in the stadium," UF Assistant Athletic Director Chip Howard said. Howard said media and concession workers make up the attendees whose numbers fluctuate most; therefore they are likely the ones who break old records. According to the National Collegiate Athletic Association Web site, in 2004 the stadium's reported attendance averaged 102 percent of its official seating capacity.

But Sadia Faroo didn't make it. She was found in the rubble at the University of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. The cousin of Pakistani Student Association President Aisha Khan was one of the nearly 73,000 deaths from the 7.6-magnitude South Asian earthquake Oct. 8. Khan also lost six other family members that day. "I'm still in shock," she said. Khan told her story to about 20 supporters at a candlelight vigil honoring victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the earthquake Wednesday night at the Reitz Union Amphitheater. The event was part of the Asian American Kaleidoscope Month. Supporters also watched a short film detailing the devastation of the disasters at the event, which was organized by the Center for Leadership and Service and the South Asian American Student Alliance. Khan said she is grateful her other cousin, Misbah Ishaq, survived the earthquake with only bruises to show for it. "It's phenomenal," she said. "She's really close to me." Khan said she visited Ishaq in December. "All of us are really lucky to be alive right now," she said. Khan, a UF microbiology senior, said she is trying to balance applying to medical school with raising money for victims in her home country.

2, ALLIGATOR M THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2005 News Today LOCAL Corners may get tax waiver A $34 million tax reimbursement for the University Corners project was approved by a city board Wednesday. According to a report by PMG Associates, an independent consultant to Gainesville, the University Corners developers are eligible to receive up to 90 percent of the new taxes the city and county would generate due to the project. "The city of Gainesville is not paying us a dime," Corners chief executive officer Frank Darabi said. "When we sell our project, people will pay taxes on our new improvements, and the city and county will not only receive the taxes they are getting now -they'll also get 10 percent of the taxes for the improvements." If the City Commission approves the consultant's suggestions later this month, the developers will receive the $34 million reimbursement over 26 years. The project, located at the corner of University Avenue and Northwest 13th Street, is estimated to cost $180 million. One member, a local developer who refused to give his name, warned the committee of possible risks the city would face if the Corners project failed. "If the cost of supporting everything around the project exceeds our 10 percent, it is a drain," he said. He mentioned city costs such.as police and fire-rescue services, as well as road maintenance.

The money raised by this year's silent auction will benefit 7-year-old cancer patient Raymond Woodruff. Raymond hung around the Colonnade for about an hour before heading to the arcade with his family. "He's a big video-game player," said Jennifer Woodruff, Raymond's mother. "He sees an arcade and he's got to go to it." The PlayStation 2 enthusiast spends a lot of time at the hospital doing activities with the staff. Of the past two weeks, Raymond has been in the hospital for 10 days. "He's very used to being a cancer patient," O'Neill said. The money-will go to help with medical bills; but it also will allow for Raymond can do fun activities, 0' Neill said. "Raymond loves SpongeBob (Squarepants)," she said. Woodruff said her family was very surprised when Katie O'Neill, chair of the silent auction, called to say they would receive the auction proceeds to help with medical expenses. Raymond's last chemotherapy-session caused severe hearing loss, and the family had to purchase hearing aids at about $6,000 a pair. "He likes his hearing aids. He can hear everything with those," Woodruff said. At the auction, students bid on restaurant gift certificates, Kaplan courses, airline tickets, sports memorabilia and other items donated by local businesses. The Reitz Union Hair Company had two chairs set up next to the auction where students could have their hair cut for free if they were willing to donate 6 inches or more. Students started arriving as early as 9:15 a.m. to sign up to get their hair cut. The list was capped at 46 students, which is the largest number of donors the UF organization has ever had, O'Neill said. Owner and manager of the Reitz Union Hair Company, Jay Jarrell, has been participating in the event since Friends for Life started doing it. Some students waited hours to donate their hair. Zoology student Sara Tolliver arrived on the Colonnade at 10:15 a.m. and returned three times between her classes to make sure she could get her hair cut before the event ended. Tolliver said she had wanted to donate to Locks of Love for more than a year, but her hair had not been long enough for the usual 10inch requirement. I There was only a 6-inch .minimum at the event, so it was her opportunity to give a gift to someone less fortunate. "I think it's a good cause and worth my hair," she said.

Bob Graham with a $5 million donation toward a hall in hia honor. UF alumnus and Winter Park-based developer Jim Pugh and his wife, Alexis, donated the money to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to build the new home of the Bob Graham Center for Public Service. Pugh Hall is scheduled to be built between Newell and Dauer halls on Buckman Drive. Construction is expected to start next year, with the building opening in 2008. Pugh said the center would offer new bachelor degrees in public service and political science. The center will focus on three main areas of career training in government: public leadership, the Americas and national intelligence, said Neil Sullivan, dean of CLAS. The center will "help students learn the less commercially taught languages," such as those spoken in Africa, he said. Sullivan said he also hopes the center will attract distinguished government leaders to come to campus. Graham and Pugh met at UF as Sigma Nu Fraternity brothers and have been friends for more than 50 years. Pugh, who earned his bachelor's degree in building construction at UF in 1963, served as a U.S. Army Airborne Ranger before starting Epoch Properties, a company that has built over 30,000 dwellings across the country.

6, ALLIGATORS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3,2005 Bs ngep. reality Jacksonville party creates dangerous atmosphere espite all the fuss about the danger of alcoholism in Gainesville, our college town doesn't seem to be the foremost location of UF binge drinking. During the past two years, two UF students have died partaking in festivities after the Florida-Georgia football game in Jacksonville. Twice that number have died in Gainesville over the past two years as a direct or indirect result of alcohol. The Jacksonville party lasts a weekend. Gainesville is open year-round for clubbing and keg parties. Statistics alone tell us that something is awry, and it doesn't take much contemplation to figure it out. Known as the "world's largest cocktail party," the Jacksonville football game is placed on an alcohol pedestal that approaches Mardi Gras status for some UF students. Everyone piles into their cars the Friday afternoon before the game, stocked with bottles '' 'or or cases of beer for the partying ahead. The scene feels like the pinnacle of the college experience. And because of all the hype, students expect to get plastered and forget their responsibilities. It's a reason to get rowdy, to have classic college adventures, to show unfettered school spirit. The circumstances surrounding the deaths of UF students hint at this philosophy. Last Fall, David Ferguson was found dead next to a Jacksonville parking garage. The last time someone saw him, he was at the Jacksonville Landing, an entertainment district where thousands of people flock, over the weekend. Friends said he was inebriated, and at one point, some were taking care of him. But as far as we know, he died alone in a fall from the parking garage. This year, Thomas Brown also visited the Landing. He separated from some of his fraternity members after watching the game at a restaurant. Later, he was beaten to death, grossly outnumbered by his five young attackers. Both of these incidents may have been prevented if these students were in a familiar territory and had a home to go to. Ferguson's car door was left open, with his wallet and cell phone inside, hinting that he might have been trying to find a place to rest. Brown was cornered in an alley, without knowing the area or how to get help. But does this mean university officials should step in and end the party? We don't think so. Although it makes more sense to us to have the celebration in one of the football teams' cities, we're not going to call for the tradition to stop. Students are adults and must make their own decisions, for good or ill. If they want to go to Jacksonville, they will go to Jacksonville. And if so many people continue to attend, then they obviously feel they can handle what comes their way. But we hope some students might learn from the tragedies of their peers. At such a crowded and emotional event, students should always stay in groups. Fights are to be avoided at all costs. And although most of us shudder at the idea, a designated sober friend would make everyone feel much safer. But we can't pin reasons to why such tragedies happen, and we can't rely on regulations and laws to save us. the independent florida Mike Gimignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR Emily Yehle OPINIONS EDITOR Tom Durrenberger, Scott Gilton, Andrew Meyer EDITORIAL BOARD The Alligator encourages comments from readers.

Unfortunately, this is meritless sword-rattling from a disgruntled professor and nothing more. A brief background: Copyright is a system of government protection granted for original creative works. For example, copyright applies to books, music and videos. Copyright grants exclusive control over certain uses of the work, such as modification and redistribution, for a limited time. The system was designed in the Constitution as a way to incite creation and "promote the progress of science and useful arts." Professor Laurence Alexander's claims of copyright are invalid because copyright only applies to works fixed "in a tangible medium of expression." An instructor's spoken explanations are ephemeral and in no way fixed in a tangible medium. I Alexander also complains that notes copy "facts, theories and concepts that the professor has learned and studied." However, as the U.S. Copyright Office's Web site explains, mere "ideas .concepts, principles" and the like are explicitly ineligible for copyright. If note-taking companies copied a professor's every word or engaged in wholesale copying of a textbook, a claim could be made for copyright violation. But that's not what these companies do. What note-taking companies such as Einstein's Notes and Smokin' Notes do is summarize. Summary is not, and never has been, a violation of copyright. Despite what Alexander may claim, note-takers are indeed contributing value when they summarize lecture material and organize concepts into learning aids. Copyright law has always recognized summary as a valid derivative work protected as a fair use under law, as it should. What's next in the copyright crusade -Cliff's Notes? Gavin Baker Movie reviews? Book reports? Speaking Out The very same law that allows scholarly quotation, commentary and criticism protects note-takers, even if they make money without paying the professors extra. When was the last time you paid an author whose paper you cited? The free flow of information is essential in a democratic society. The ability to summarize, quote or report the words of another person, without asking anyone's permission or paying any royalty, is key to ensuring a free exchange of thoughts. Furthermore, even if the law allowed professors to prosecute note-takers, they should not. Legal rights do not always equate with moral rights. Everyone should abhor the use of copyright as a bludgeon to silence speech and creativity. Unfortunately, copyright and other so-called "intellectual property" laws are used precisely in this manner time and again. The shift from viewing copyrights as the limited monopolies they are to seeing them as a form of property is dangerous, unprecedented and extreme. If the world is to remain free to create and communicate, copyright law must retain its balances and protections. Copyright serves an important purpose in providing incentives for creators. However, we must remember its ultimate purpose and ensure that its exclusive rights do not come before the public good. Academics, of all people, should support a view of copyright that encourages the dissemination of information -the primary purpose of a university. Threatening companies that produce educational aids is poor behavior for an institution that exists to educate. Gavin Baker is aforoer Alligator writer and the president of Florida Free Culture, a student grop that works to reform copyright las. The views expressed here are not necessarily those of the Alligator.

Professor Laurence Alexander's claims were made without a true understanding of copyright law. The copyrighting of "[intangible] ideas, concepts .or principles" without written explanation is prohibited by the U.S. Copyright Office. If these note-taking services took information from a copyrighted journal or textbook Alexander wrote and resold it for personal gain, these claims would have merit. However, the services don't. Students pay for classes to receive credit at a respected educational institution, but they attend class to gain knowledge. What's to keep students from profiting off the knowledge they receive from attending class? Is that violating a professor's intellectual property? All knowledge builds on itself. The idea of using knowledge for personal gain is the exact reason knowledge exists -be it for monetary gain or personal expansion. Limiting the spread of this knowledge, and any profit one may receive from it, violates something greater than any person's intellectual property. Alejandro Companioni 3LS Abortion images show reality The images of aborted fetuses on campus Tuesday were shocking and emotional; nevertheless, they were true. Society imagines abortion as a benign procedure that simply removes a tissue mass, -but the pictures show the truth -a tiny, innocent person is killed in every abortion. Some may argue that graphic images are simply "emotional manipulation." However, graphic visual tools have historically been used to teach about other moral issues. For example, the history of the Holocaust is taught with disturbing images -we've all seen pictures of mutilated bodies stacked in unmarked graves. After former President Dwight D. Eisenhower saw the Nazi death camp in Ohrdruf during World War II, he ordered as many soldiers as possible to see the camps, saying: "We are told that the American soldier does not know what he is fighting for. Now, at least he will know what he is fighting against." To censor abortion images is inconsistent and intellectually dishonest. Graphic images are emotional because they tell the truth, and the truth is upsetting. The pictures offend because they depict something deeply offensive happening to a defenseless human child. So which side in the abortion debate is cruel? The one that shows pictures of dead babies while opposing their killing or' the one that opposes showing the pictures and defends their killing? -Jennifer Toyey ij

e A A n UV ALLIGATOR THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2005 www.aIIigator.org/avenuc By KEVIN MAHADEO Avenue Writer In April 1999, America took a trip down to the Boondocks. Syndicated in over 300 publications nationwide, "The Boondocks" comic strip serves as one of the most controversial yet influential pieces of social commentary, addressing issues ranging from racial stereotypes to interracial marriages to juvenile delinquency. The strip is taking the next step in animation evolution -into television. "I've been trying to sell (the show) to one person or another for the past five years," said series creator Aaron McGruder during a conference-call interview Oct. 25. The strip and subsequent series follows the exploits of the highly intelligent 10-year-old Huey, his thuggish brother Riley and their eccentric guardian, Robert "Granddad" Freeman. Wanting a more relaxing life during his last days, Granddad moves the kids from the rough 'n' tough South Side of Chicago to the lily-white suburban neighborhood of Westlake. The kids don't approve of the move, and hilarity ensues in the form of sociopolitical commentary. The series was pitched to several networks, including Fox, Showtime and HBO Family, with Fox coming the closest to picking it up. Fox ended up passing on the show; however, McGruder said the intended Fox pilot was so awful that he hopes no one will ever be subjected to viewing it. It wasn't until McGruder was offered an opportunity by Cartoon Network's Adult Swim that "The Boondocks" would find itself a place where it would fit in like a missing puzzle piece. "Adult Swim understood the show the best," McGruder said. courtesy Photo Aaron McGruder's comic strip, "The Boondocks," known for its controversial commentary, comes to Adult Swim on Cartoon Network on SundayMcGruder said he had much more creative freedom on cable, where he could expand the world of the strip and have a lot more fun compared to network television. With Adult Swim, he had much more leeway and was hardly given any restrictions when it came to his work. While the strip is known for its harsh, and often politically incorrect, social commentary, McGruder said he does try to be responsible when it comes to the subject matter of his work. He doesn't just do anything or say anything. "Creative freedom is yours until someone takes it away from you," he said. "I.E., the person who pays the bills." An educated man (although he jokingly remarked, "Who told you that?" when referred to as such), McGruder is often seen as a powerful representative voice of black Americans. However, McGruder insists it is other people that impose, this label on him. "I don't want to mislead people into thinking I'm a political leader. It's jokes and satire," McGruder said. "With the void to black political leadership, people turn to black entertainers." The -new series is set to be much more character driven than the previous short blurbs about current social situations. McGruder said he wants to focus on storytelling with the new series. He said it was difficult to tell an effective story in a three-frame strip. To assist in this area, McGruder incorporates an animation style similar to that of Japanese anime, of which he is a fan. A live-action program was completely out of the question because "it would have sucked," he said, chuckling. McGruder said he felt the Japanese style would properly convey the necessary mood and emotions for the series. The series is set to premiere Sunday at 11 p.m., and McGruder's prospects on the show seem optimistic: "Obviously they're good or else I wouldn't have wasted a damn year and *a half of my life," he said, laughing.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 9 Horror King turns to comics By KAROLENA BIELECKII Get Graphic Things are about to get a lot more graphic for fans of Stephen King's epic series "The Dark Tower." One of the most popular fiction writers of our time will write a comic book for Ma'rvel Comics beginning in April. Arguably the biggest news to hit the comic industry this year, the miniseries is to be set in King's mystical Western realm. It revolves around the hero, Roland of Gilead, placed in a flashback during book four of the novel series, "Wizard and Glass." Marvel also announced that the miniseries will be illustrated by fan favorite andEisner awardwinning artist Jae Lee. Why are people making such a fuss about this? Well, unless you've been living under a rock, you know Stephen King. He has written more than 40 novels, and his seven-book "Dark Tower" chronicle alone has a fan base of millions. Initially, the series will come out monthly until the story arc is finished, when it will undoubtedly be composed into a graphic novel. This means some die-hard King fans may step into a comic shop for the first time in their lives. Just think: For every 10 people who check out King's comic, maybe one or two will go, "Well, what's Batman up to?" or, "I've always liked Captain America, but I haven't read the comics since I was a kid." Think of King's comic, named. creatively enough, "Stephen King's The Dark Tower," as a gateway comic leading mainstream readers into the genre's realm. And of course, Marvel Comics' editor in chief hopes the relationship with King grows fruitfully. If so, fans may see King take on a classic Marvel character. But this isn't the first time a writer of "real books" has made the jump to comics. Orson Scott Card, author of the "Ender's Game" series, is writing "Ultimate Iron Man" and doing a fantastic job. Even film and television writers and directors, like Kevin Smith and Joss Whedon,. have tried their hand at comics and done remarkably well by comic readers in the past. Whedon, the creator of television shows "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Angel" and "Firefly," has swept readers off their feet with his work on "Astonishing X-Men." But the bottom line is that Stephen King is a household name. In the words of Marty McFly in "Back to the Future," this is heavy. EZ Tennis Tell your friends about EZ Tennis.

Novel within a novel disappoints I have to admit that John Crowley's latest novel, "Lord Byron's Novel: The Evening Land," is -despite my concerns both before and after reading it -a highly entertaining work of fiction. It's well-imagined and thoughtfully constructed. The story operates on three alternating structural levels. The initial level is that of Byron's novel "The Evening Land," an imaginary book supposedly written by the late, great Romantic poet in the early 19th century. The novel is similar in tone and general theme to Byron's long, great poems, "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage" and "Don Juan," though it lacks the former's selfawareness and the latter's depth of scope and irony. The second level is the story of Ada Lovelace, famous not only as Byron's estranged daughter but as the author of the world's first computer program. Lovelace has found, encoded and annotated her father's lost novel, hoping to preserve it and to understand her lost father by carefully annotating it in terms of Byron's own life. The third narrative level is that of Smith and Lee, an estranged daughter and father who bear a striking resemblance to Lovelace and Byron. James They collaborate by Fleming e-mail on deciphering, auOff the Press thenticating and interpretteenenlligtr.urg ing Byron's newly discovered novel and Lovelace's accompanying notes. As melodramatic and hokey as it might sound, the novel actually works, at least as a piece of entertainment. The relationship between Smith and Lee is unique, well-developed and one of the more interesting child-parent relationships I've seen explored in recent fiction. Lovelace's annotations are sad and desperate. Through her notes, we watch her struggle with attempting to approach and understand her father logically and methodically, something that ultimately proves impossible to do. However, the book's greatest weakness is certainly the novel "The Evening Land" itself. Having read and reread everything Byron wrote, I wasn't able to suspend my disbelief while reading Byron's "novel." It just doesn't sound like him. That's not to say that Crowley's attempt at literary impersonation isn't remarkable. Clearly he knows Byron well and understands how he tended to order and structure his thoughts. At times Crowley even nails it, if only for a line or two, but he isn't able to keep up any sort of momentum. Byron was never as obvious as Crowley imagines him -or as honest. Maybe I'm picking at straws here. I question the wisdom of Crowley's decision to write Byron's imaginary novel and provide it to us in its entirety. Crowley's novel would have been much stronger if "The Evening Land" was left to our imagination, and the novel itself focused on Lovelace's annotations and the relationship between Smith and Lee.

Apparently, Rolling Stone magazine does not think so. In issue 980, Rolling Stone wrote an article called "Schools that Rock," which listed what they called the Top 10 schools for music lovers to attend. A book was recently-published under the same title, by the same author that lists the Top 50 schools that rock. The criteria for choosing the schools was finding those with interesting music programs, Jenny Eliscu, the writer of the article and book, said in a phone interview. "The book was meant to be as comprehensive as possible .to highlight the best or most interesting or unique," she said. Other criteria involved the city in which the school was located. Eliscu. named factors such as strong independent music stores, music festivals and cities with thriving music scenes, local bands, more than one good venue and big bands regularly playing in town. A similar Top 10 list was published by Rolling Stone in 2003 that listed Gainesville as No. 9. On the new list UTF and Gainesville are curiously absent. Eliscu said she could not recall the 2003 2 Locationis Creeksida mall near Galor ext Boo*s & SW 34th St. near Alley Katz Bo~ieling article and that she did not write it, so she could not comment on it. She said there was no editorial decision made that said Gainesville rocked two years ago and now does not. Some places were left off the list because of limited resources, she said. Eliscu did not personally visit each city. She had writers cover different cities and report back. John Duff, director of UF's School of Music, said he is not concerned that UF did not make the list. "The factors that seem to be of interest to Rolling Stone have little to do with the music programs, but rather what opporturities and experiences exist around the general campus and the surrounding community," Duff said. Duff listed a staggering number of accomplishments and honors that both music students and professors have achieved as examples of how strong the School of Music is. Jason Rockhill, co-owner of Common Grounds and a Gainesville resident since 1993, said a list like Rolling Stone's should not be taken too seriously.

12, ALLIGATOR N THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2005 50 Cent confident despite controversy of new flick By MARIA LAVERGHETTA Avenue Writer First, Eminem did it with "8 Mile." Now, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson will follow suit with "Get Rich or Die Tryin'." Backed with a script by "The Sopranos" writer Terence Winter and directed by Jim Sheridan, 50 Cent will star in the critically acclaimed film in theaters Nov. 9. Like Prince's 1984 movie, "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" is loosely based on 50 Cent's life. He plays Marcus, an inner-city drug dealer who gets out of the business to pursue his tie passion of rap music. While the movie highlights his past, 50 Cent said in an Oct. 26 conference call that the film is not completely factual. "Some reporting (in the film) is accurate," 50 Cent said. "Some is just fabricated for the interests of the public." He said one point where the movie breaks from his life is when his character Marcus is shot in a car. This doesn't correlate to his actual life experience; 50 Cent was shot nine times in Queens in 2000. Even though 50 Cent is optimistic on how the movie will be remembered, controversy surrounds the film's release because of the depiction of guns in the movie's promotional billboards. The controversy doesn't worry 50 Cent, though. He said the negative publicity intrigues people and that guns are often used in marketing for films. "Because I'm coming from music, they feel like it is promoting violence. You have to accept it," 50 Cent said. "You have to learn to take it for what it is." He said that he saw the film role as a chance for him to step out of his normal public role and show his fans his true colors. "I become human through the film," 50 Cent said. "There are a lot of different things I did in the film that I wouldn't do in music." His debut album, "Get Rich or Die Trying, was released in 2003 and sold 900,000 copies in the first week, according to the Internet Movie Database Inc. Web site. Because of his CD's popularity, 50 Cent said he wanted to use the same title for his acting debut. "It's aggressive," he said. "Because the masses associate "Get Rich or Die Tryin"' with 50 Cent, I titled my film after it. I probably generate the interest of 44 million people." Courtesy Photo Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson plays himself in Jim Sheridan's "Get Rich or Die Tryin'."' Sheridan also directed the biographical film "In America." Jam band 0.A.R. plays the O'Connell Center this month By RACHAEL RYALS Avenue Writer A revolution is coming to Gainesville. Jam band O.A.R. (Of A Revolution) will play Nov. 29 at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center, thanks to Student Government Productions. Co ~es-onsaaY O.A.R. has been one of the most student-requested bands, SGP chairman Joey Van de Bogart said. "I personally believe that a large group of the student body would be interested in seeing O.A.R.," he said. Van de Bogart said he tries to bring in a diverse selection of concerts that will please students. Past concerts this semester include Yerba Buena and Bacilos during Hispanic Heritage Month and rapper Kanye West. "My job is to gauge the students' interest in music," Van de Bogart said. O.A.R. attracted legions of fans through their grassroots advertisrelease. Lava Records released the newest O.A.R. album, "Stories of a Stranger," in October. According to O.A.R.'s website, the new album is "Accomplished, relevant, and most importantly a voice of optimism in a world filled with doubt. The songs on the record were hand picked from a well full of ing, according to an SGP press stylistically diverse tunes each with a story to tell." O.A.R. will be paid $50,000 by SGP, Van de Bogart said. There will be about 8,000 to 10,000 tickets available. Tickets for UF students went on sale Wednesday for $12. General public and all tickets at the door are $20. Tickets are avail-. able at the University Box Office and through Ticketmaster.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 13 'Jarhead' depicts emotional side of first Gulf War Most war movies become classics due to infamous battle scenes and action. While the latest military movie is definitely in the action genre, it is not because of over-the-top action. "Jarhead," the directorial project from Sam Mendes ("American Beauty"), shows an alternate side of war -the waiting game. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as U.S. Marine Anthony Swofford, a 20-year-old third-generation enlistee in the scout/sniper unit during the first Gulf War. Mendes follows "Swoff" from boot camp through rigorous sniper training and into his time in the Middle East. Swoff and his fantastic supporting cast of fellow Marines, including Peter Sarsgaard ("Garden State"), find themselves trudging through the blazing desert, fighting for a cause they don't fully comprehend against an enemy that is never really present. Jamie Foxx ("Ray") redeems himself from his lousy performance in "Stealth" as Sgt. Siek, a lifelong Marine who heads up Swoff's unit. Based on the 2003 best-selling book written by Swofford himself, Mendes depicts a completely different side of war; focusing more on the emotions and feelings of the soldiers in it, rather than the factual accounts and military details. Nothing is sugar-coated, and everything is Melissa presented in a Filipkowski very in-yourThe Reel Life face manner. theavenue@alligator.org M a r i n e customs and situations, which I thought were merely Semper Fi rumors, are brought to the screen in moments that are either completely hilarious or utterly tragic. The entire movie is built on mounting tension and the threat of the eneimy in the distance, as the soldiers become more and more confused about the reasons they have gone to fight. At the same time, the soldiers desperately cling to whatever lives they have left at home, and we sadly watch as some of their home lives unravel as their stay in the desert drags on. Political overtones are heavy in the movie. Mendes does a fabulous job of relating the film to what is going on in the Middle East now. Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, it makes you think twice about the soldiers fighting in Iraq. Mendes showcases each Marine as an individual and pays tribute to the hard work and dedication it takes to be a soldier. Male camaraderie and bonding is also cleverly depicted. The acting is superbly executed, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Peter Sarsgaard nominated for some type of award for his supporting role in the film. If you go into the movie with an open mind and don't expect an epic "Gladiator" bloodbath, you may find yourself wrapped in the Semper Fi experience. You may even shout "hoora" with the rest of them. It takes two to tango; good sex requires more than a partner ike picking the fastest line in the grocery store or the right day to skip class, sex is always a gamble. No matter how much observation, investigation and analysis, you can't tell someone's sexual prowess until you sleep with him or her. In fact, in many cases, you can't even really know until you've slept with the person a few times. But as human nature teaches us to find what we want to see, people will find a way to validate sleeping with the guy they're into. Well, he gives a really good massage, they'll say, or he's got great rhythm when he dances. And then the same five words follow: You know what that means. a significant portion of the cast.

So then I started expounding his good signs into character traits, and that's when things began to fall apart. I reasoned that if he understood my thoughts and emotions, he'd understand my body as well.When we slept together, I learned that sensitivity doesn't translate to sexual finesse. Even worse was his inability to take suggestions; instead he felt insulted. With him, what I mistook as sensitivity was really insecurity.

14, ALLIGATOR M THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2005 GAME RrEW 'Conflict' blurs reality Children of Bodom Are You Dead Yet? Fontana Int'l Let's be honest. Metal of late has sucked. The word has been twisted and bastardized to mean anything you Want it to mean. Poison is metal. Kiss is metal. Metallica is metal. Disturbed is metal. Now, hit yourself on the head hard enough to forget every musical nugget in your brain. In this amnesiac state, put in Children of Bodom's "Are You Dead Yet?" Tis is metal. It gently pushes you to once again listen to -and like -that musical genre you gave up on. The band's fifth album digs out elements hidden in every comer of metal's dark basement. The drumming is fast, intricate and still somehow bare bones. The guitar sound is classic, stealing sonic squeals from Randy Rhoads and still able to chunk through heavy riffs. The addition of keyboard to the songs gives the band its own angle and voice. One of the few discrepancies of the CD is the vocals. Frontman Alexi Laiho's vocals don't stand out too much on any song and are almost never melodic. He screams his way through every track, which is fine, but it dumbs down songs with infinite potential. Even so, if by the third -and best -track from the Finnish band "If You Want Peace. Prepare for War," you're not pumping your fist in the air and banging your head, you probably never liked metal. Dropping Daylight Take a Photograph E.P. Octone Records The Minneapolis-based band Dropping Daylight is in an odd situation: The piano is the coolest instrument in the band. Lead singer and Berklee-trained pianist Sebastian Davin makes his band stick out by dropping insanely varied and virtuous key-tickling licks to every song on Dropping Daylight's new E.P. "Take a Photograph." The problem is nothing rocks but the piano. Without it, the band is hackneyed. Like every other emo band, Dropping Daylight is too melodramatic. Some of the lyrical content is so sophomoric, you roll your eyes. Even the best song on the album, "Lucy," contains the exhibitionist lines, "Chatting with each other's exes and friends we made love with/Circling the crowd/Speaking very loud/ So we can find each other, steal a kiss and cop a feel in front of everyone." The song holds hints of where the band should go. The verses sound like Rufus Wainwright if he was singing about a girl, and the piano is at most playful. Davin's voice is enjoyable, until he puts aggression in it. Ultimately, though there are hints of promise sporadically sprinkle through the songs, Dropping Daylight's traditional rock section just doesn't rock enough. -DANIELLE LUCEY n the new third-person shooter game "Conflict Global Terror" by Pivotal Games for PS2, Xbox and PC, gainers battle through more than a dozen modern war zones of squad-based gameplay using four distinctively talented, yet noticeably cliche soldiers. Bradley is the stealthy, balanced leader. Jones is a mouthy demolitions specialist. Sherman is a deadly sniper. Connors is a one-man army. Despite the hackneyed characters, I found it fun to watch them argue. But none of that mattered since "Conflict" is all about the shooting. And that is where it excels. Gainers can switch control to each soldier individually or assign complex orders to Al partners. While positioning and ordering soldiers is effective, the game's AI responds poorly when flanked. For this reason, the game is impressively hard because the flanking happens constantly due to the sheer number of enemies. In battle, "Conflict" blends the perfect mix of realistic limits and impossible feats. For example, while soldiers can carry huge loads of equipment, they can tear through their ammo unless the gamer uses short controlled bursts to keep down their recoil. While health packs can revive a solider from any wound, they are always a necessity, since only a few shots (or one to Brett the head) will Kefan drop a teamKelman mate. Don't Hate the Playa Most entheavenue@alligator.org emies are inaccurate, at long distances, but fatal up close. This excludes tanks, which are the stuff of nightmares and often require the entire squad to distract and destroy. The graphics are crisp and define a variety of distinct environments, but like all others, will become obsolete later this month with the release of the Xbox 360. At times, the music seems a little porn-ish, but I was pleasantly surprised that the Xbox version lets me play my own off the hard drive. Goodbye cheesy techno, hello "Apocalypse Now" soundtrack.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3,2005 Casey attributes resurgence to superstitious habits By LOUIS ANASTASIS Alligator Staff Writer lanastasis@alligator.org Tate Casey figured that if wasn't leaving his mark on the fie during games, he would have to it beforehand. Before Saturday's game against Georgia, with seven games of frustration in the books, Casey air-auhe tographed and patted the goalposts Id at Alltel Stadium. It was a routine do he had established last season but hadn't done this season because UF has dedicated less time to pregame activities. The sophomore tight end went on to catch three passes and a touchdown in the Bulldogs win. "I was joking around with one of the equipment managers, tellTim Casey / Alligator Staff UF sophomore tight end Tate Casey celebrates the Gators' 14-10 win against Georgia with fans Saturday in Jacksonville. ing him that it worked last year every game," Casey said. "Then it worked Saturday. It was just something in my mind that I thought I'd try out." Yes, Casey plans on autographing goalposts for the remainder of the season, but superstitions aside, it finally looks like he has found his place in the offense. Casey's three catches Saturday equaled his number of receptions from the previous seven games combined. Is it a coincidence that Coach Urban Meyer has scaled down the offense to incorporate more tight end and full back sets? "I knew that this offense had to get better, that there was a way it could, and they put it in," Casey said. "I didn't for one second think I wasn't going to score, or that I wasn't going to get any more receptions this year." Meyer admits Casey is a big part of the changes but says there's more to the sophomore's slow start than just the offense. Meyer criticized Casey's work ethic during practices until last week when he said the tight end started improving. "It's not like all of a sudden we were like, 'Hey, let's get the ball to the tight end,"' Meyer said. "He's just been getting better. Six weeks ago there was no intention to get it to him because in practice he wasn't making plays. But he's doing much better now." Perhaps it is the way Casey has handled the criticism that explains what he did Saturday and what he is likely to do for the remainder of the season. "What players think sometimes I knew that this offense had to get better, that there was a way it could, and they put it in. I didn't for one second think I wasn't going to score or that I wasn't going to get any more receptions this year." Tate Casey UF tight end that they're getting done, sometimes in the coach's mind they're not," Casey said. "He's the head man. Whatever he says goes, and you kind of have to take that challenge." Now, the player who caught four touchdowns last season has something besides blocking to be psyched about. With Dallas Baker nursing an ankle injury and Andre Caldwell out for the season, Casey can provide a pressure release for the still-evolving offense. "Being able to have a tight end as a great weapon, that always helps you," quarterback Chris Leak said. "He's done a good job getting his routes down, and he's a-%eal threat to the defense." For Casey, catching balls again means so much more. It validates his roster spot. It gives him a reason to look forward to practice. "It just feels good to get back in the swing of things and maybe get a little swagger," he said. "I'm going to come back next week and hopefully do the same or even better." Halloween weekend leaves Tenacious E with a mixed bag of goodies In the spirit of Halloween, here's a mixed bag of thoughts on the world of sports that could bring more joy to your Thursday than the eighth drunk girl in a "sexy" tigress outfit you cracked a Jumanji joke at on Monday. You had to figure that at some point this season, Steve Spurrier was going to pull one out against a big-time Southeastern Conference opponent. While Spurrier probably would have loved to dance Between the Hedges in Georgia, a victory at Neyland on the night they retired Peyton Manning's number is interesting considering Spurrier always had Manning's number. Somewhere deep in the Smoky Mountains of Knoxville, Tenn., Jim Bob Cooter weeps. Wide receiver Dallas Baker might not play this bye week -oops -Vanderbilt game, so if he can't go, it should give Big Play Chad Jackson an opportunity to re-don his downfield cleats. For one reason or another, Jackson has seen his role in the ever-changing offense reduced to an underneath and hitch route machine. I'm not going to knock a coaching staff that has done an incredible job with this team, but Jackson's potential still screams of NFL. Draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. rates Jackson second to Ohio State's Santonio Holmes among wide receivers in the junior class. But in the mean time, Jackson isn't letting his longterm goals interfere with the race for the SEC Championship. "Depending how the season goes, if I leave or I stay, I still got it in my mind," Jackson said this week. "But right now, I'm just focusing on the task at hand, on coming out as a team and finishing out strong." While orn the subject of the coaching Eric Esteban staff, it's hard not to Tenacious E give them a mountain eesteban@alligator.org of credit for UF's success on the defensive side of the ball. Once considered a group guaranteed to make a late-game disappearance -sort of like Georgia fans in Jacksonville on a Saturday night -the Gators' defense has been coached to an elite level in the SEC. Coaches Greg Mattison, Chuck Heater and Charlie Strong have gotten the most out of key players like former junior college players Jeremy Mincey and Reggie Nelson, players the old staff would surely have let underachieve. Tack on Vemell Brown as the biggest surprise since Johnny Lamar at the cornerback position, and you have the nation's No. 5 total defense. The long, tedious, Sahara-esque feel of baseball season is over. While I thoroughly enjoy the heart-pumping 162-game crawl that is MLB, the NBA and Gators' return to the O'Dome means it's the most wonderful time of the year. SportsCenter bursts with life because, if you aren't watching Dwyane Wade add another move to his arsenal or Ron Artest's latest fan beat down, you can be comforted knowing you won't be bombarded with a decrepit dose of grandpa big bird, Peter Gammons.

22, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2005 BASKETBALL ROUNDUP Revamped Santa Fe team debuts tonight Ur WOMEN'S FRESHMAN FORCED TO LEAVE GAINESVILLE WITH INJURY. Last year the Santa Fe Community College men's basketball team used its athleticism, depth and talent to dominate teams en route to a 25-4 record. At one point the Saints were 20-0 and ranked in the top 5 nationally. b'tt as the Saints head back to the court tonight against Oxford College in the SFCC Tip Off Classic, they'll be without seven of the team's top 10 players from a year ago due to graduation. "We have a completely different teain," Coach Chris Mowry said. "We have a lot of true freshmen that were very good in high school at successful programs. Now, they are going to be playing against everyone else who was good in high school." The Saints. brought in a talented recruiting class that includes several of last year's all-state high school players from Florida and Georgia's Class A Player of the Year, Tracy Rankins. While the freshmen certainly need to contribute for the Saints to be successful, much of the weight falls on the shoulders of the three returning sophomores: guards Devin Harden and Torrance Walker and forward Dionte Perry.

After facing Oxford College tonight, the Saints will host Middle Georgia on Friday. "We have some talented kids, we just need to get them to take care of the ball and defend," Mowry said.

The team is looking to bounce back from a disappointing season, finishing 5-21. -RYAN MOSS DEPARTURE: Freshman guard LaToya Bullard has returned home due to injury and is not expected back until the spring semester, UF coach Carolyn Peck said Wednesday. Bullard, a Memphis, Tenn., native, injured her hamstring in December, and the nagging injury caused her problems walking straight before fall practice began. At home, Bullard will be able to concentrate on medical treatment and not have to worry about getting around campus, Peck said. "You've got to park your scooter one place and walk somewhere else," Peck said. "It's just tough." Bullard's teammates noticed her suffering. "We knew that she was in a lot of pain," senior Sarah Lowe said. "She really wanted to stay here, but the demands of having to walk to and from class and all that stuff was just really hurting her back." Bullard's playing status for next semester will be determined by how much progress she makes rehabilitating. "I don't know if this is something that could heal and be ready by January, or if it's something that could be healed. But then there's a rehab that needs to occur," Peck said. "I'm not going to put any of my players on the floor hurt." -NICK ZACCARDI BAKER STILL HURTING: UF wide receiver Dallas Baker missed practice yet again Wednesday with a sprained sne he sustined against Georgia. Baker Baker was on crutches with his right leg in a boot on Wednesday, and there's a chance he could miss Saturday's game agairst Vaiderbilt. "Dallas is questionable, very questionable, obviously," coach Urban Meyer said. I thought he'd be out here today, but arbies are amazirgithirg." Baker is tough like Brandon Sler, who played against Georgia nursing a sprained ankle, so if he can play at all, he will, Meyer said. Other players nursing injuries include Siler, safety Jarvis Herring (thigh), safety Reggie Nelson (hamstring). But all practiced Wednesday, Meyer said. Meyer also said receiver Chad Jackson (hamstring) was feeling better alter being sore last week.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 23 W SOCCER Gators to defend SEC title By SPENCER DAVIS-VANNNESS Alligator Writer sdvanness@alligator.org Utter dominance. There's no other way to put it. In its 11-year history, the UF soccer team has failed to advance to the SEC Tournament title match just once. That makes nine trips to the final game with seven trophies to show for it, including a streak of six consecutive titles from 1996 to 2001. Today the Gators will try to defend their 2004 championship with a first-round SEC Tournament match against Aubum. The Tigers handed UF its only non-final-round loss in 1995. Aubum enters the game as an enigma. After a successful conference start and forcing an overtime match in its early season match with UP, the Tigers faltered late, dropping their final three games. UF coach Becky Burleigh doesn't know quite what to make of her opponents' recent struggles. "You can either look at it two ways," she said. "One is that's not a good trend. The other is you need to break that trend at some point." Either way, the Gators won't take the Tigers lightly, senior forward Lindsey DeLorenze said. "We know what a big deal this is, and that it could be our last game, but we're pretty much expecting it not to be," she said. For the second year in a row, the Gators enter the tournament with a somewhat underdog status, as Tennessee earned the No. 1 seed. "We weren't expected to do well in the SEC Tournament last year, and we proved them wrong," DeLorenze said. "We weren't expected to do well in the SEC Tournament last year, and we proved them wrong." Lindsey DeLorenze UF forward Part of a program steeped in history with the upcoming tournament, UF's seniors often take vocal roles in developing the attitudes of younger players. "[The seniors] have told us to keep playing like every game is our last because you never really know if it will be or not," freshman midfielder Megan Kerns said. But this year's senior class will not dwell in past success. "Our record doesn't state that we are good at anything," said Jen Gardner, UF goalkeeper and fifth-year senior. "Our record states that we need to win some games. UF struggles against top QBs CUTLER, from page 24 Mississippi State lost its starting quarterback, Omarr Conner in the first half against the Gators as well. But in UF's two losses this year, the Gators faced experienced opposing quarterbacks -Croyle of Alabama and LSU's JaMarcus Russell. In addition to his experience, Cutler also presents a running threat for the Gators' defense. In the 2002 and 2003 games against UF, the Commodores' quarterback was also their leading rusher. "Vanderbilt has a dualthreat quarterback," Meyer said. "He reminds me a lot of Shockley actually, but Cutler may even be a little stronger. Anytime you have a quarterback who can take direct snaps and run with it, that limits what you can do on defense." The Gators' defense will have to pull double duty this weekend, since it will be facing a mobile quarterback. "Obviously, we have to get pressure on him because he's the quarterback," defensive tackle Steven Harris said. "But we have to contain him at the same time because he can run. Meyer believes that Cutler is a guy who has the heart to play in the NFL next season. "He is a tough nut," Meyer said. "He's a guy who gets you that extra yard and makes plays when they're not even there. He's an accurate passer, but there are a lot of accurate passers in this league. Cutler is a big, tough guy who you better keep in front of you." RCEIVE $20 TODAY & $60 THIS WEEK!

24, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2005 OFF THE BEATEN PATH UF student finds success in competitive eating A By JENNA MARINA Alligator Contributing Writer There's an old saying that goes, "You are what you eat." If that is true, then what in the world is UF graduate student Hall Hunt? 4T'unt, 24, participates in competitive eating competitions around the country and is currently ranked the No. 30 eater in the world by the International Federation of Competitive'Eating. Hunt has participated in a variety of eating contests ranging from Krystal hamburgers to Johnsonville Brats to grilled cheese sandwiches. On Oct. 17, the eating machine consumed 20 grilled cheese sandwiches in 10 minutes to win $1,000 at the GoldenPalace.com qualifier in Raleigh, N.C. He will compete in the GoldenPalace.com World Grilled Cheese Sandwich Eating Championship later this semester. Hunt's passion in November 2004 began when he entered a sushieating contest at the Dragonfly Sushi & Sake Company in Gainesville. "My friends were always like, 'You're a big eater. You could do that,"' he said. "It helped me discover my talent." Hunt ate 24 jumbo California rolls in 5 minutes and won the contest. Afterward he searched for more contests and found several hosted by the IFOCE. "The hardest part is just having to go fast because I'm a naturally Andrea Morales / Alligator Staff UF graduate student Hall Hunt runs "sandwich drills" at the Krystal restaurant on NW 13 Street Monday afternoon.

"He could never "It's really quick," she said.

"It is a physical activity governed by a set of rules, and eaters refine their skills over time," he said in an e-mail. "I would argue it is as inherent to man as both running and jumping, both of which are in the Olympics." Hunt said that competing in the sport is tough and requires training. "I drink large quantities of water to try to stretch my stomach, so I can get that competitive edge," he said. "The only way you can be competitive is if you train, just like in any other sport. "People think it's easy, and anyone can do it. I encourage anyone who thinks that to get to a sanctioned event and try it out." Hunt runs marathons to keep off any weight gain from the calories he constunes and says he will stop eating only if it affects his health. His long-term goal is to make it to the final round of Nathan's Famous hot dog eating contest, which has occurred annually since 1916. "I wouldn't be surprised to see Hall get there," Shea said. "He's a newcomer, but he seems quite focused." Hunt has earned $2,000 in prize money so far, but there is something more he yearns for. "The money's nice, but I need a trophy because I don't have any trophies yet," he said. "[I want] something that I can remember it by and that I can hold on to."

I've admired him offense with 251.9 yards per game. "It should be a good challenge for our defense," defensive end Jarvis Moss said. "I'm looking forward to facing Cutler because he's a good football player." While the Gators' defense has been the team's strength this year, it hasn't had to face a very talented crop of quarterbacks. Georgia lost Shockley a week before its match up with the Gators that thrust Joe Tereshinski into his first career start.
