Cause



of death



unclear

By JESSICA RIFFEL

Investigators are still uncer-
tain why five men attacked UF
student Thomas Brown Saturday
night after the Florida-Georgia
football game, a spokesman for
the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office
said Thursday.
"No motive has been given
for the incident yet," said JSO
spokesman Ken Jefferson.
He added that robbery has
been ruled out as a possible
motive for the
slaying of
Brown, 24.
Brown, a
member of
Beta Theta Pi
Fraternity, was
beaten to death
Brown two blocks
outside The
Jacksonville Landing and was
found unconscious after patrol
officers received a call about a
fight.
Assistant State Attorney
Angela Corey said the medical
examiner's report ruled that
Brown died from head trauma.
The suspects, Jeremy Lane,
21, Alex Canzano, 21, Casey
Schuurman, 19, Mark Foss, 18,
and Jeffery Groncziak, 19, are be-
ing held without bail at a pretrial
detention center in Jacksonville,
Jefferson said.
UF student Nicholas
Albanese, 19, and SFCC student
John Schepps, 18, were also beat-
en, but both are alive, Jefferson
said.
"We have not been able to
show any correlation between
these cases," he said.


ROSA PARKS 1913-2005

Community gathers to honor activist


By KATY LAYTON
Alligator Contributing Writer

Hundreds of candles il-
luminated the night Thursday
as people paid respect to the
legacy of Rosa Parks.
"We Shall Overcome"
filled the streets as supporters


marched from campus to the
Institute of Black Culture on
University Avenue.
All ages and races gathered
in the courtyard in front of the
UF Chemistry Lab Building at
"Remembering Rosa," a pro-
gram for the mother of the civil
rights movement.


UF professor of linguis-
tics and anthropology M.J.
Hardman was thrilled to par-
take in a tribute to Parks.
"We honor those who kill
far too much," she said. "This is
honoring someone who brings
peace, and that's just beautiful.
I think there should be a statue

of her."
The National Council of
Negro Women and the African
American Studies Program or-
ganized the ceremony to honor
the life and legacy of Parks who
died at age 92 on Oct. 24 half a
century after she refused to give
a white man her seat on a bus in
Montgomery, Ala.
"We hadn't heard of anyone
in the community or on campus
doing anything to commemorate
her," said Imani Hope, president
of the UF chapter of the National
Council of Negro Women.
Speakers from the African
American Studies Program ad-
dressed Parks' importance in
the civil rights movement and
society, and what efforts should
still be made to overcome op-
pression.
Parks was not physically
tired when she refused to give
up her seat, professor Faye
Harrison said.
"She (Parks) was sick and
tired of being sick and tired of
racism,"Harrison said.
She spoke of the importance
the movement Parks ignited
and the effect it had on college
education.
"You would not be a student,
and I would not be a professor

Union elevators get overdue licenses


By LYNDSEY LEWIS
Alligator Writer
Ilewis@alligator.org

The most convenient way to access the
multiple floors of the Reitz Union is by eleva-
tor. But until this week, every elevator in the
Union bore an operating license that expired
in 2002, leaving passengers not knowing if
* their ride was state certified.
"I don't know if [failure to display an
up-to-date elevator license] is breaking any
law that I'm aware of," said Reitz Union
Executive Director Eddie Daniels in an inter-
view Thursday. "But that's still very curious
that we haven't had certificates for three
years."


"There have been a number of
very large changes in the way el-
evators are regulated in Florida."
Geoff Luebkemann
Business and Professional Regulation director

Although all Union elevators including
those designated for. employees only dis-
played expired license certificates, Daniels
said UF records state that the elevators have
passed inspections for the past three years.
He added that each elevator has been in-
spected annually since the certificates expired
in 2002, but neither the Florida Bureau of
Elevator Safety nor the independent contrac-


tor who conducted the inspections issued the
Union new licenses in three years.
However, an employee of the Division
of Hotels and Restaurants within the
Department of Business and Professional
Regulation said that between 1999 and 2003,
her department had no records of any eleva-
tor inspections in the Union.
"Unless someone calls that in, we won't
know. It might just slip through the cracks,"
she said.
The employee, who could not give her
name due. to departmental restrictions, said
that at least two of the Union's elevators
failed their inspections in late 2003.

Cash tops worry of college presidents
College presidents are more preoccupied with financial issues than educational ones,
according to a new survey by The Chronicle of Higher Education. The survey, sent to
the presidents or chancellors of 1,338 four-year colleges during the summer, drew 764
responses, or 57 percent.

UAA asks for more fees
for new women's sport
Jeremy Foley joked that if
UF had a women's crew team
and the events were held at
Lake Wauburg, there would be
the advantage of having Gators
both in the water and on the
boat.
The UF athletics director
requested a 30-cent per-credit-
hour, or about a $40,000, in-
crease in the 2006-07 tuition-
funded Athletic Fee for a new
undetermined women's 'sport,

Advisory Committee meeting
Thursday.
However, no decision has yet
been made.
The committee can raise total
fees by 5 percent yearly, or 95
cents per credit hour.
The creation of the program
would cost about $750,000 and
would mark the first addition of
a sport in eight years.
Foley said even without the
additional funds, the University
Athletic Association will find
a way to bring a new women's
sport to campus.
"The pie can be cut up in only
so many ways," he said. "We un-
derstand that."
Foley mentioned the possibil-
ity of a women's lacrosse, crew,
equestrian or water-polo team.
He said an additional sport
"only does great things for this
institution."
The request marks the first
time in six years that UAA has
asked for student funds exceed-
ing the $1.90 per credit hour it is
allotted.
Foley said one of the main
reasons he wanted to expand the
women's sports program was to
increase the number of female
student athletes to about 50 per-
cent. The number stands at 45
percent now.
Associate Vice President for
Finance and Administration Bob
Miller said of all the requests for
additional student funding, it
may be easiest for UAA to raise
money on its own.
The committee will meet
again Monday in Tigert Hall
Room 202 at 4:30 p.m.

Speaker stresses that culture cannot be erased


By DIANA MAZZELLA
Alligator Writer
dmazzella@alligator.org

Vijay Prashad denounced multiculturalism
as modem racism Thursday night during an
Asian American Heritage Month event.
The professor of International Studies at
Trinity College in Hartford, Conn., explained
to about 100 people how multicultural ideas
failed to serve humanity. Although he was
sponsored by Asian American Kaleidoscope
Month, his message did not apply only to
Asian American students. ,
As his voice echoed in the Reitz Union
Grand Ballroom, he said that colorblindness
- consciously looking beyond a person's race
or ethnicity is disregarding that person's
history.
He said people are not blank slates and
cannot be treated that way. Multiculturalism
divides people into cultures and only shows
the conservative elements of cultures.
He also explained that these two ideas do
not work together.
"How can you celebrate cultures when you
don't have history?" he asked.
He described the "model-minority" myth
and how it affects people of all cultures, saying
this:nyth makes Asian and Jewish cultures su-
peric strips white people of any culture and

He said people use the myth to become He also challenged the perception of


Asians and other minorities as being geniuses
and well educated.
He said the upper-class immigrants
from India who came to the United-States
initially were not representative of all
Indian people.
"They have this genius because of state
selection," he said, meaning the United States
would only accept upper-class immigrants
from India.
Asian American Student Union President
Sandy Chiu said his speech showed her how
complex culture is and that some campus
groups tend to focus only on festivals and not
political issues.
Prashad encouraged groups to take on
both social work and political, causes.
Raju Vyas, the president of UF's Speech
and Debate Society, said Prashad discussed "a
lot of unique arguments about ethnic national-
ism that I hadn't heard before."
Prashad has authored several books,
including "The Karma of Brown Folk" and
"Everybody was JKung Fu Fighting: Afro-
Asian Connections and the Myth of Cultural
Purity."

Officials suspend


international fee

By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org

UF has suspended a $50-per-semester fee charged to inter-
national students until further notice, officials said Thursday.
UF International Center Dean Dennis Jett said the fee cov-
ered the cost to track,,monitor and report the activities of 2,700
international students. Instead of footing the bill through its
own budget, the university passed the fee on to its international
students after its Fall 2002 inception.
"We thought it would be best to suspend it," he said. "If
you went to a university that only consisted of
Student Florida residents, you would get a very different
Life education than if you went to one that represented
the world that you are eventually going to have to
compete in."
The fee was created to fund the government-mandated
Student and Exchange Visitor Information System, which was
rushed to implementation after Sept. 11, 2001.
To meet the requirements of SEVIS, UF hired more staff to
monitor the actions of international students and update the
students' home countries of their progress.
Despite discrimination claims, Jett said SEVIS "is not some-
thing that we have an option on."
An October audit stated that UF acted "dearly without statu-
tory authority" when it imposed the fee. But Jett said the Florida
Board of Governors, the body that oversees the state's 11 public
universities, approved the idea during the summer.
Student Sen. Fei Long, who came to UF in 2002 to study
statistics, said paying the extra fee was disappointing.
"It just shows that Americans do not welcome international
students as they did before," he said.
UF Provost'Janie Fouke said she does not know where the
up to $250,000 to fund the program will come from.
"We want the best minds to come and study with us," she
said. "I think the international fee had the potential to be a de-
terrent for students from other countries."
Student Body President Joe Goldberg said he thinks UF is
going to eat the cost.-
"It seems to me that the university has found a way, or they
wouldn't have suspended the fee," he said.


Report: Tuition hike lowest in years


Loans increase as grants languish


By RACHEL LEWINTER
Alligator Contributing Writer


While some students are get-
ting home from a night of party-
ing at 5 a.m., Vicky Goldenberg is
getting up for work.
The UF education junior is a
full-time student who also holds
a full-time job as an assistant man-
ager at, Old Navy, in addition to.
two other part-time jobs.
It may seem like a lot of respon-
sibility for a college student, but
for Goldenberg and millions of
others faced with the increasing
costs of college, it's worth it.
"I do everything I possibly can
so I don't have to take out loans,"
Goldenberg said. "Everyone makes
sacrifices, and these are mine."
The College Board, best known
for creating and administering the
SAT, released its annual report on
the cost of college and student
financial aid last month, highlight-
ing once again the trend of increas-
ing tuition.
But the report offered some
good news: Percentage increases
slowed to single digits for the
2005-06 academic year.
The average cost of tuition and
fees at four-year public universi-
ties increased 7.1 percent to $5,491
from last year, the lowest rate hike
since 2001.
The tuition increase is sig-
nificantly smaller this year than
in the last two years, during which
tuition increased 10 percent on
average and rose by 13 percent a
year ago.
UF has little control of under-
,7iaduate tuiton rate. becau.ethey,


are set by the Florida Legislature,
not the UF Board of Trustees,
the university's governing body,
said Karen Fooks, the director of
Student Financial Affairs.
The Florida Legislature estab-
lished a 5 percent increase in UF
tuition for undergraduates for the
2004-05 academic year.

"It is highly unlikely that
We will see any significant
growth in grant aid in the
foreseeable future."
Karen Fooks
Student Financial Affairs director


Tuition at public institutions is
largely dependent on state legisla-
tive allocations, Fooks said. When
the state budget is healthy and
appropriations to higher educa-
tion are high, tuition is held down.
When the state economy is poor,
tuition goes up.
The College Board report is a re-
flection of an improving economy,
so-the need for large tuition increas-
es is lessening in some states. Fooks
said she thinks it wouldn't be un-
usual if the legislature decided not
to increase rates for a year-or two if
the economy remained good.
From 1996 to 2002, total grant
aid for undergraduates grew twice
as fast as total borrowing, but since
2002, that pattern has reversed.
In 2004-05, the percentage of total
undergraduate aid in the form of
grants declined for the third year
in a row, according to the report.
UF undergraduates borrow about
$13,000;,and the national average is


just above $15,000, Fooks said.
"The trend of increasing loans
rather than grants is part of a
continuing trend, and I don't see
that changing anytime soon," she
said.
Budget dollars are tight, particu-
larly at the federal level, because
of the war in Iraq and the money
needed for hurricane assistance,
she added.
"It is highly unlikely that we
will see any significant growth in
grant aid in the foreseeable future,"
Fooks said.
The report takes into consider-
ation that college students incur
more expenses than tuition alone.
According to the report, total
tuition, fees, and room and board
charges at public four-year colleges
grew more rapidly between 2000-01
and 2005-06 than during any other
five-year period since 1975.
Students and parents find ways
to supplement the cost of college
through grants, loans, tax credits
and other savings plans.
According to the report, nearly
$129 billion in student aid was dis-
tributed in Florida during the 2004-
05 academic year, almost $10 billion
more than the previous year.
During 2003-04, more than
120,000 Florida students received
Bright Futures funds, accord-
ing to the Florida Department of
Education Web site. About 42,000
students at UF receive some sort of
financial aid.
"The Bright Futures Scholarship
program has held down student
loan debt at UF," Fooks said. "The
amount of students who borrow
money for-a bachelor's degree at
UF is less than the national aver-
age."

Students fondly remember sole Gainesville Denny's


By CHERYL CLARKE
Alligator Contributing Writer

At about 3 a.m. Saturday, UF stu-
dent Nick McCrea and two friends
decided to stroll over to Denny's on
the northeast comer of University
Avenue and Northwest 13th Street
for a late-night snack.
McCrea said he had never been
to that Denny's before and was
looking forward to eating during
the wee hours of the morning.
"All the places on campus were
closed already, and we were hun-
gry," he said. "So we were like,
'Denny's.'"
Much to his dismay, McCrea was
instead greeted with a sign on the
door that stated the 24-hour restau-
rant did not renew its lease and was
shut down.

"We were crestfallen," he said.
"We just sat there on the curb for like
10 minutes."
The hungry, tired and disap-
pointed group weighed the few
options left at a time when most
people have already been sleeping
for hours. Eventually, they walked
back to campus and ordered a
pizza.
Denny's shut down Oct. 10 after
the owner of the franchise, Rich
Beattie, decided to close it, said
Cindy Woodard, spokeswoman for
Denny's Corp.
Woodard said Beattie made
the decision to dose the restaurant
without citing his reasons to head-
quarters officials.
"Beattie doesn't have to tell us
why," she said.
Beattie could not be reached for
comment.
Forest Gruss, one of McCrea's
friends who accompanied him on
the futile Saturday venture, created
a group on Facebook.com called
"Wahfah?!? Denny's Is Closing?
Nooo," to protest Denny's demise.
"It was something that shocked
me," Gruss said.
She said she ate at Denny's be-
cause it was close to campus and a
good substitute for ordering pizza.
Gruss wanted other UF stu--
dents who frequent the Web site
to be aware that the restaurant had
closed, and she wanted to see if she
and others could do something
about it.
She said she never ate at
Denny's during the day but spent
many nights there with a group of
friends.
Gruss' favorite foods were

pancakes and the desserts because
"that's what you crave in the middle
of the night," she said.
Ronald Olmspead, the general
manager of the Holiday Inn where
Denny's was located, said the hotel
did not own the restaurant, and he
was not aware of what would hap-
pen to the space.
Olmspead said he believed the
owner did not have the property
back yet because it was still leased to


Denny's Corp.
He said the Denny's concept
works well in the mornings, but that
it might not have been the best place
for a 24-hour restaurant.
"It was certainly convenient, but
it's pretty hard for any kind of res-
taurant to run on a 24-hour sched-
ule," he said.
Olmspead said the 24-hour idea
is a good one along a highway, but
the Denny's at University and 13th


did not have an ideal location. He
added that Holiday Inn's business
was not affected much by the recent
closing.
He said he would like to see an
establishment that doesn't take busi-
ness from restaurants already here
and would instead "complement
the community."
The closest Denny's is now in
Ocala, about half an hour's drive
south.

State regulations changed

ELEVATORS, from page 1
Geoff Luebkemann, director for the department, said sev-
eral factors may be to blame for the expired elevator licenses
and the lack of sufficient records.
In 2003, the Florida Legislature enacted a law requiring all
elevators to be inspected annually, as opposed to the previous
requirement of every two years, Luebkemann said.
He added that all elevators must now meet
On higher standards in order to be issued a license.
Campus "The law does not allow us to renew certificates
without current satisfactory inspections," he said,
adding that inspection violations may constitute anything from
safety issues to trash lying at the bottom of elevator pits.
Although the Reitz Union's elevators now display up-to-
date certificates, some Union employees still complain that
they frequently experience problems.
"They're always calling people out here to fix [the el-
evators]," said housekeeping employee Nicole Durden. "The
maintenance ones break down at least once a day." -
Ron Therriault is listed as having inspected the elevators
Sept. 13, according to records provided by Union staff. At press
time, Therriault could not be reached for comment, nor could
Union management be reached to explain the updated certifi-
cates that appeared this week.

6, ALLIGATOR U FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4,2005


Editorial
Two months overdue, Gainesville', brand of autumn has
finally arrived. Or is it a hot version of winter? We can't tell.
And we wouldn't know anyway; the Editorial Board is per-
petually stuck inside its dank, dark office, churning out opinion
pieces on the state of the world.
After our Halloween was spent among UF students dressed
as creative versions of prostitutes, we didn't want to socialize
with too many of our female peers. We could catch a sexually
transmitted disease by osmosis.
Instead, we have turned our concentration toward an even
more depressing indicator of the fall of our society: the news.
We've even organized it all into two easy-to-understand catego-
ries the good and the bad.
So stoke the fire, rake up the leaves and buy a bunch of color-
ful gourds for this week's edition of...



Darts & Laurels

We'll begin with an international spin and hand a better-
late-than-never-even-for-the-hopelessly-stubbom LAUREL to
UF administration for finally suspending a $50 fee charged to
international students:
UF officials charged the fee to help pay for the Student and
Exchange Visitor Information System, or SEVIS, a federal pro-
gram that tracks international students to ensure they don't
engage in terrorist activities.
Students have long lobbied against the fee, asserting that
it's racist and hurts foreign-student enrollment. And about two
weeks ago, an audit claimed UF was acting "dearly without
statutory authority" by diverting the cost to the students.
We think this is an issue between universities and the
federal government. If UF has to comply with a law without
receiving compensation for the cost, then that is a problem for
the university.
The fee may be small compared to other expenses, but it
becomes a symbolic move that could turn away international
students.
But UF officials aren't the only ones who have made ill-
advised decisions. We fire a throwing-money-at-businesses-
must-have-a-good-reason-behind-it DART at Gainesville
city staff for recommending Tuesday that the city reimburses
University Comers with $34 million of its property taxes.
The development is to be -a three-block-long building
on the comer of University Avenue and 13th Street, with
retail, residential and hotel aspects. City officials argue that
University Comers will not cost the city more than 10 percent
of the taxes the building generates. Thus, they're offering the
business a 90-percent tax cut for the next 26 years, or until $34
million is reached.
It's all part of a program to help out projects that "literally
transform" the property.
But will Comers change it for the better? How will students
benefit? Are we sure the complex will survive when it plans to
charge for parking and have only luxury apartments? Will the
price of food increase because of the rent?
The complex is obviously directed at students, but we don't
know if it will garner their support.
This needs to be addressed before we support such a dras-
tic favor. We're also a little leery of the program itself. Why
should the city help businesses that can't get the interest of
enough private investors to build their projects themselves?
Keeping with our theme of development, we shoot an
oil-is-no-longer-the-answer-and-we're-all-going-to-go-broke-
while-you-figure-it-out DART at the U.S. Senate for voting
against removing a provision in the budget reconciliation
bill that would allow drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife
Refuge.
Our opposition to drilling aside, we think it's irresponsible
to allow such an important issue to be overshadowed by such
a large bill. We want senators to fight and discuss the measure,
not be distracted by other issues.
Every decision should be thoroughly scrutinized, whether
in Gainesville or in Washington.

File-sharing debate hurts artists most


R record companies, movie studios and media out-
lets complain that file-sharing costs .them profits
n rand directly equates to stealing.
Those who share files respond that restricting the
free trade of electronic media stifles creativity and
closes off the global marketplace to the arts.
But as both sides argue their particular rights, there's
one big loser caught in the middle: the artists them-
selves.
While the hot topic in copyright news today is broad-
casters trying to stop Internet-based duplication of their
transmissions, I'm going to have to fall back on the ex-
ample that for me hits closest to home: music.
As a musician, I can understand the desire to receive
full payment for your work. But I also hate the idea
that restrictive copyright laws, if enforced, would make
it nearly impossible for millions of prospective fans
around the world to hear my music.
To say the recording industry is the sole agent at
fault for this situation, however, is folly. Just as much
blame or more lays on those exploiting this un-
precedented access to creative works in order to steal
massive amounts of protected material.
Every person I know who shares music has songs
from at least a handful of bands he or she otherwise
never would have come across, which is a testament to
the Internet's unique ability to spread art to those who
can appreciate it most.
Unfortunately, every person I know who shares mu-
sic also has illegal copies of entire albums for which I
can guarantee he or she would have otherwise paid full
price.
I'll admit I caved to the system: I deleted all of my,
shared music over a year ago. As much as I loved hav-
ing the ability to more or less instantly peruse a new
band's entire'catalog, I couldn't escape the fact that it
was the same as walking out of a store with a handful of


stolen CDs.
Looking at my collection of
legal MP3s, however, it's easy
to see the impact file sharing
has had on my musical tastes.
There are at least fifteen bands
Matt Sanchez whose presence in my library I
In Moderation can directly attribute to having

of their songs.
My two favorite artists of all
time are included in that list, as well as at least half of
my Top 10.
When I look back at all the enjoyment I've gotten out
of that music, as sappy as it sounds, it makes me sick to
know that my exposure to it was twisted into something
illegal because of extreme actions from bothisides of this
debate.
So what's the solution?.
Bands and record companies would like the public to
be satisfied with samples provided on band homepages
and Web sites such as myspace.com.
But this doesn't allow prospective listeners to choose
the songs, and shuts out those who may be introduced
to new favorite bands based on other fans' recommen-
dations.
On the other hand, file-sharers would like unrestrict-
ed access; many claim they still would buy as many
albums anyway.
But we all know, deep down, that's a lie.
And therein lies the problem: As long as both sides
are unwilling to compromise, it's unlikely there ever
will be any reasonable way to resolve the situation.
But until we find a way if we ever do it's only
the art that will suffer.

Letters to the Editor
Opinions page full of partisan extremes
How about a little less finger-pointing?
I've noticed a trend lately within the
Opinions section of this paper. This includes
the editorial, columns and letters.
It goes a little something like this:
A Republican writer says, "Liberals are
trying to ruin the country!" Then a Democrat
responds with, "You are taking our rights
away!" Finally, someone says, "Liberals are
lazy!" and then, "Conservatives are creating a
tyranny and trying to control my free spirit!"
For the sake of being politically correct,
either side is likely to start the pointing.
Granted, there are a few insightful opin-
ions. Someone who takes a comprehensive
look at both sides and explains why he be-
lieves one side is better writes a solid piece.
But these seem to be few and far between.
Everybody is making observations about
the other side and why it contains either crazy
Russian communists or die-hard, dose-mind-
ed conservatives.
Simply because the other view has disad-
vantages, it does not make your view auto-


matically right.
That is why I am proposing that instead of
saying, "They are the ones messing up; blame
them," writers put a little thought into an
opinion and make the conclusion something
that everyone can see and not immediately
disregard as partisan hooey. Who knows, if
you don't sound dose-minded, you might
make someone actually agree with you who is
"from the other side."
Anthony J. Such

Writer gives credit to opponent's claims
Naturally, it is difficult to persevere when
one is forced to face an opposition that char-
acterizes your values as "extreme," but Erica
Walters' letter in Tuesday's Alligator made it
obvious why her opponents call her extreme.
She simply left too many dots to connect.
Truly, nearly 50 percent of black children live
below the poverty line, but is racial inequality
really the lone reason for this injustice? Surely


there are other causes; why exaggerate and
mention race only?
Furthermore, Walters seems to imply that
activating more legislation regarding wom-
en's rights would elicit rape victims to feel
they could bring their reports to the police.
Will legislation actually cause rape victims to
communicate their feelings better?
Finally, if Walters is attempting to demon-
strate that protecting the environment is not
an extreme cause, why would she say a quip
like "...policymakers are actively destroying
the only planet we have?" Inflated statements
such as that cause levelheaded people to dis-
card her values as extreme and irrelevant.
Michael K. O'Malley
UF alumnus


Holocaust has no connection to abortion
The premise of Jennifer Tovey's letter in
Thursday's Alligator was very offensive. To
compare abortion to the Holocaust is not only
disrespectful, but also completely ludicrous.


Abortion is not the systematic genocide
of an entire people; it is an individual choice
that a woman makes depending on her own
situation. The 12 million human beings who
were brutally murdered in the Holocaust were
people with names, homes and families. Most
importantly, they were already born.
While it's arguable whether or not an
aborted fetus was alive, it is by no stretch of
the imagination a living person. An aborted
fetus is not ripped away from all that it has
known, stripped of its civil liberties and sent
to a death camp.
While it is true that Holocaust education
uses images to teach people, these images are
used in either a classroom setting or in a mu-
seum. People have a choice whether or not to
be exposed to the content. The images are used
as supplements to actual lesson plans, not to
shock or upset bystanders.
To drive through a university campus and
have to see graphic and upsetting images is
not education; it is propaganda.

Alumna shares Middle East tales


By DELIA M. RIVERA ZABALA
Alligator Contributing Writer

Stephanie Sinclair has been dodging
bullets for three years.
But she spent Thursday roam-
ing UF's College of Journalism and
Communications and reflecting on her
time as a Gator.
"It's great to be back," Sinclair said.
"It brings back so many memories."
Sinclair, a photojournalist who gradu-
ated from the college in 1998, visited her
alma mater as part of the Hearst Visiting
Professional program, named for 20th-
century publishing magnate William
Randolph Hearst.
Sinclair presented a slideshow of pic-
tures and spoke to reporting students in
the Gannett Auditorium, as well as other
journalism classes throughout the day.
She spoke about witnessing many
difficult events in the Middle East since
being sent there in 2002. She arrived in
Iraq without any experience reporting
in a war zone and covered the civilian
perspective before and after the inva-
sion.
"I wanted to be a voice for the people
who were in the middle of the country,


without any control whether there was
going to be a war on top of them,"
Sinclair said.
In Afghanistan, Sinclair photo-
graphed women who had set them-
selves on fire as a way to protest the
government's oppression of them.
"I was just crying while I was taking
these pictures," Sinclair said.
She also took
pictures of Afghani
girls being married to
older men, such as an
11-year-old girl mar-
rying a much older
man with gray hair
because her family
Sinclair didn't have enough
money to support her.
"It's too hard to come back and
pretend I didn't see it," Sinclair said.
"We have a major responsibility to show
people what's going on over there."
Sinclair also covered former
Palestinian Prime Minister Yasser
Arafat's funeral. She recalled standing
in the middle of the crowd mourning
Arafat and being groped by more than
10 men while covering the event for
Time magazine.


"I basically punched my way through
Arafat's funeral," she said.
Even so, Sinclair said she believes
Americans should see what is happen-
ing in the Middle East.
"Everybody over there knows what's
going on in America," Sinclair said. "But
we don't know what's happening to
them."
Sinclair, who worked for the Chicago
Tribune for five years, is now based in
Beirut, Lebanon where she is a contract
photographer for Corbis, a photo agency
based in New York City.
"Every semester the Department
of Journalism brings a speaker to the
college so that students can receive ad-
vice from people with a great level of
enlightenment," said John Freeman, a
photojournalism professor who taught
Sinclair in the mid-1990s.
. Journalism Master Lecturer Mike
Foley, himself a visiting Hearst pro-
fessional two decades ago, said it is
important to bring practicing journal-
ists to share their experiences with
students.
"It's inspiring to see what she has
gone through," Foley said. "I would
have peed in my pants."


Locals felt Parks

gave opportunities

PARKS, from page 1

working here," she said.
She stressed that Parks was a dedicated ac-
tivist and hard worker before and after the day
that made her famous in history. She said Parks
was a real person and a role model.
"I see my mother, my grandmother and my
aunt in Rosa Parks," she said. "I see myself in
her."
Hope said she thinks Parks' death encour-
aged many people to take a closer look at Park's
activism.
She said sometimes she gets disgruntled and
disenchanted:
"I think I'm just one person; What can I do?"
Hope said. "Rosa Parks shows that yeah, you're
just one person, but you can do a lot."
"This should be a major rejoicing of a well-
lived life for someone who did something for
all of us," Hardman said. "All of us."

UF VOLLEYBALL

Gators attempt to clinch SEC


By BRYAN JONES
Alligator Writer

For the second year in a row,
Tennessee handed the Gators a real-
ity check, and UF's magic number is
down to two.
The No. 6 UF volleyball team (21-
2, 11-1 Southeastern Conference) will
wrap up its four-game road trip this
weekend, taking on Alabama (20-5,
8-4) tonight before playing Auburn
(8-12, 2-10) on Sunday.
Should the.Gators come out vic-
torious in both weekend matches,
they will emerge with at least a tie
- possibly a win, for their 15th con-
secutive SEC title. After that, they re-
turn home for their final two regular
season matches.
Coming off a tough 3-2 loss
against Tennessee that ended UF's
203-match winning streak against
unranked opponents, the Gators
may have a little extra motivation
to get back on the winning track and
claim the,title early.


"We'll learn from it," Coach Mary
Wise said. "It was one of those
matches that we'll get a whole lot
better from. We'll certainly be watch-
ing a lot of videotape.
"The good news is, it's one match.
We're still in control of an SEC cham-
pionship, and that is what we are

W [this] weekend."
History certainly
bodes well for UF's
chances of win-
ning the SEC title
this weekend. The
Gators have never
Wise lost to Alabama
and are 20-0 against
the Crimson Tide under Wise.
Alabama, however, is 9-1 at home
this season and is not the pushover
they have been in the past, Wise
said.
"[We are going.to play a] much
improved Alabama team," she said.
"Now our challenge is, how do we
respond off of a loss?"


The Gators have had similar suc-
cess against Auburn, holding a 25-1
record versus the Tigers, including a
21-0 mark under Wise.
In fact, UF has not lost a match to
any team from the state of Alabama
with Wise at the helm. Factor in the
Gators' 2-0 record against Alabama-
Birmingham, and UF'is 43-0 under
Wise against teams from Alabama,
winning 129 of the 133 games.
While Auburn's 2-10 conference
record puts them in second-to-last
place in the SEC, the Gators are
perceived as the juggernauts of the
conference, causing every match to
be dangerous, Wise said.
"We think every team, when they
play Florida, comes with a little ex-
tra," she said. "We've created that.
We understand that the target on our
back is big no matter who we are
playing.
"We fully expect every night that
we will get everybody's best shot,
whether we are here in the O'Connell
Center or on the road."

SFCC MEN'S BASKETBALL

Saints crush Oxford in opener


* SOPHOMORE SAYS TEAM
MORE TALENTED THAN LAST
YEAR'S 25-4 SQUAD.
By BRIAN STEELE
Alligator Writer
Wfeen a team loses five of its
six top scorers, you might expect
a letdown.
And while it would seem
unlikely that the Santa Fe
Community College men's bas-
ketball team could repeat last


season's 25-4 record with, just
three returning players, don't
tell that to sophomore Torrance
Walker.
After the Saints pummeled
Oxford College 89-44.in their sea-
son opener on Thursday, Walker.
said he believes this year's team
has improved from a team that
was ranked No. 4 in the nation at
one point last season.
"We have more talent than
we had last year," he said. "The
difference is that there are a lot
of guys that really want to be

to dining out


winners. In" order to do that, you
have to put 110 percent every
time on the court.
"[The freshmen] are willing to
learn, and a lot come from win-
ning programs and know what it
takes to be a champion. We fight
together."
While the Saints are still learn-
ing to play together as a team, the
roster is loaded with freshmen
that were all-state Florida selec-
tions in high school.
Coach Chris Mowry has made
sure that they know what to ex-
pect from each other.
"We're happy with the results
this evening," he said. "With the
freshmen, we haven't developed
that consistency yet where we're
working hard and practicing
hard every day.
"The one thing we talked
about before the game tonight
was, 'Let's have 40 minutes of
great effort.' Until we can do that,
we can't become a championship
basketball team."
One of those newcomers is
freshman point guard Brandon
Bryant, who tallied nine points
and seven assists. Bryant said he
knew what everyone was expect-
ing of him before his first career
start.
"There's no pressure," Bryant
said. "When I mess up, the re-
turning players let me know
what I'm supposed to do. If the
coaches see us slacking off in"
practice, they stop practice and
let us know we're not as good as
we think. If we listen to them, we
know we'll get better."
Even with all the incoming
talent, Mowry said he feels it will
take time to build the Saints back
into last year's powerhouse. -
"There, is no way we can
compare this year's team to last
year's team," he said. "We only
have three players that were a
part of it on the court, so it's com-
pletely different.
"It would be a tall order to
repeat last year's success. We can
compete every night out once we
learn to practice hard every day
and play hard."

UF SOCCER

Gators knocked out of SEC Tourney in first round


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

Throughout the season, the UF soccer
team said the key to victory was simple:
score goals early in the game.
In the Gators' first-round match of the
Southeastern Conference Tournament
against Auburn on Thursday, sophomore
forward KeLeigh Hudson scored one in less
than six minutes.
Game, set and match for the Gators? Not
even close.
Auburn responded with a newfound
spark and solid defense to hand the Gators
their second-ever loss in a non-final match
of the SEC Tournament. Auburn was the
first to defeat UF in 1995.
"Our team did a great job of keeping
their composure," Auburn coach Karen
Hoppa said. "We battled and battled all


game long."
At the 30-minute mark, Auburn forward
Kristin Stewart sent a chip shot; which
seemed to catch the Gators' defense off
guard, sailing up, over and into the goal for
a game-tying score.
The Gators had dominated the game for
the first 25 ..-nutes, but Stewart's score iced
the momentum.
"I thought we had good rhythm early in
the game," UF coach Becky Burleigh said.
"We had a lot of opportunities early, but we
didn't do what we needed to do. We let them
hang around in the game."
Auburn didn't just hang around. They
took the field in the second half with new
composure and energy that seemed unlikely
after the match's opening tone.
And while the Tigers recomposed, the
Gators decomposed.
After picking up a pair of yellow cards in


the opening 10 minutes of the second half,
UF let another goal slip by this time from
Auburn's Ronda Brooks off of a comer kick.
That was it.
"I thought we had good rhythm
early in the game. We had a lot of
opportunities early, but we didn't
do what we needed to do. We let
them hang around in the game."
Becky Burleigh
UF soccer coach


The Tigers fell back into a defensive
position, and the Gators, though given
plenty of opportunities, were unable to tie
the match.
"Toward the end of the game, we
started to panic a bit and were taking ill-
advised passes," Burleigh said. "We didn't


have the composure late in the game."
A major factor in the match was the ab-
sence of senior forward Cherry Pickman,
who was suspended after receiving a
red card in Friday's win against South
Carolina.
The Gators now must prepare for an
NCAA Tournament Regional. The loca-
tion has not yet been determined, but a
Florida State-hosted event in Tallahassee
looks more likely than the tournament
being held in Gainesville. The NCAA
Tournament has been unkind to the Gators
in recent history.
After winning the 1998 National
Championship, the Gators have had nu-
merous early exits, including a surprising
first-round loss to Central Florida last
season.

report.


Highlight plays take back seat to ball security in Me.


FOOTBALL, from page 20

Despite the hype surrounding
Manson, the back carried the ball
like a stack of textbooks, often drop-
ping his wrist below his elbow.
Big plays be darned, Meyer
wasn't about to jeopardize field po-
sition or scoring opportunities with
lackadaisical ball handling.
"That's all he looks at," junior
tailback DeSliawn Wynn said. "You
can break a 60-yard run, and if the
ball isn't high and tight like he wants
it, he's always going to say some-
thing to you. He might even pull
you out for a series or two."
Walking through the corridors of
the Swamp's south end zone, news-
paper photos plaster doors, serving
as reminders of proper ball security.
Violating Meyer's policy, however,
calls for a less subtle approach.
"If we see [newspaper photos],
and the kid's holding it the right
way, that one gets blown up and
put on the door," Meyer said. "If it's
someone scoring a touchdown, and
[the ball] is out there, it doesn't .get


blown up. It's given to me, and I go
meet with the young man."
It's an experience best avoided,
to say the least.
"That's the last thing you want to
do," Casey said, "get the head coach
to take a picture and blow it up and
dog you in front of everybody."
Lately, the Gators have given
their coach less fodder for embar-
rassment. Meyer said he's proud of
his team for learning how to carry
the football properly.
But sometimes fundamentals are
washed away in a stream of adrena-
line when roughly 1,700 pounds of
defensive muscle is all that separates
you from a first down.
"I think I still get a little wild
when I get in there and kind of
change my ways," said Wynn,
who fumbled a hand-off exchange
against Georgia for UF's-lone turn-
over. "In practice, I just try to work
on it so it becomes second nature."
But for some, it already has.
"Wrist over the elbow," Casey
said. "That's the only thing you've
got to know about Gator football if
you plan on touching the ball wrist
above the elbow."

"It was real tough," Huertas said. "There's the
language I've been learning the language for two
years now."
However, he initially didn't find the level of
basketball to be radically different than in his native
country.
"The basketball was kind of the same," Huertas
said. "Between high school and college, now there's
a difference, everybody is bigger, the game is faster,
and right now the defenses [are tougher] than in high
school."
Now that he has spent a few months in college,
Huertas is ready to take on both life and the game.
And if his 7-point, no-turnover performance
Tuesday night is any indication, he is on his way.
"Right now, I'm used to it," Huertas said. "I've
been here for two years; I'm used to it already."


Honky Tonk music to the Ryman.
"The first time Hank Williams came here in the 40s, he had
to do an encore six times," Dowell said. "That's a record."
I reckon they just can't get enough of them country sounds
down in the Music City. The next time you're in town, take
a cruise down Broadway, and no matter what Honky Tonk
dive you stumble into, you just-can't go wrong.
"The worse musician in town is better than anywhere
else," Dowell said.
Now, it's time to rosin up our bows and tune down our
git-taurs because we proudly present this weeks alligatorS-
portsTM Brand picks. Moving from worst to (a tie for) first at
51-29 is Andrew "I love this lame, lame game" Abramson,
who records himself doing play-by-play for Miami Heat
games, only to listen back to it nacked through a Teddy
Ruxpin-esque Alonzo Mourning doll.
Losing his grasp on first place is late-night porn king
Bryan "screw the Gators send them to the Music City
Bowl so I can spend a week in Nashville" App, who says
he stays awake because of a sleeping disorder, but he really
tries to get an early jump at those 7 a.m. elementary school
zones.
Second place is the first loser, which is exactly where
Mr. Unprofessional Louis "just. give me a cassette tape of


Romanian teen pop and a snuff NBA film" Anastasis stands,
who looks like a retarded kid in a candy store in the recently
surfaced photos of his trip to cover the Magic-Heat game.
Tied for second-to-last at 49-31 is the El Camino Eric "say
hello to my little friend" Esteban, who says he throws West
Coast-style gangster parties, but he really sits around with
the Cuban Mafia expanding his mind and talking about how
he'd pay $1 million dollars for one night with Channing
Crowder.
Tied with Tenacious E is future teacher of the year Farzad
"I'm a West Coast gangster myself, Liza Minelli style" Safi,
who decides to show up to football practice once a week, ask
a bunch of lame questions and then disappear like a boy that
made a wrong turn into a NAMBLA convention.
Far, far back in last place at 46-34 is techno nerd-leu Ian
"first I wanted a gecko, then I wanted a dog, now I want a
life" Fisher, who's used to being behind a bunch of guys, just
look at how he sucks up to the UF beat writers.

Let's face it. When someone says
Nashville, you're not exactly thinking
football. What does come to mind?
How about whiskey, women and some
good old country music sounds?
According to John Dowell, history
director for the Ryman Auditorium,
it all started when riverboat captain
Thomas Ryman befriended the Rev.
Samuel P. Jones, a Georgian who came
to claim wayward souls in the Music
City. Jones would travel the country
preaching out against short skirts, gam-
bling and drinking, a lifestyle to which
Nashville was accustomed.
Ryman built a tabernacle for his
evangelist friend in 1892, but faith
didn't pay the bills. By 1914, Ryman be-
come a full-time entertainment venue,
and little more than a decade later, it
would begin its climb to worldwide
fame as home of the Grand Ole Opry.
The Opry debuted in 1925 as a radio
show called the WSM Barn Dance, the
oldest radio show in the world, ac-
cording to Dowell. Two years later, the
show's announcer informed the audi-
ence, "You've just heard one hour of
music from the grand opera."
The rest is hillbilly history. The
Ryman's list of acts over the years is a
who's who of country music. It made
the King of Country, Roy Acuff, an
American icon in the 1940s.
"One of the battle cries of the
German army in World War II was,
'To hell with Mickey Mouse, to hell
with FDR and to hell with Roy Acuff,'"
Dowell said.
Elvis once played to a cold Ryman
audience. Bluegrass music being born
on the auditorium's stage some 60 years
ago, the locals weren't exactly prepared
for the King's boogie-woogie version of
"Blue moon of Kentucky."
Johnny Cash brought his narrative,
railroad drifter style to the Ryman.
But if one performer stands above the
rest in Opry lore, Dowell said it has
to be Hank Williams, who introduced

UF FOOTBALL

Meyer obsessed with ball security


By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
bapp@alligator.org

Coach Urban Meyer will never forget the
day he learned how to hold a football.
As a budding assistant at Notre Dame,
Meyer was asked by then-Irish coach Lou Holtz
to explain proper ball-carrying techniques to
the coaching staff.
"I remember reading a coaching manual one
time how you have all these .different ways to
hold it, so I started giving my coaches a one-
on-one speech," Meyer recalled. "[Holtz] told
me to shut up and sit down, and here's how
to do it."
From then on, it was Holtz' way or the


highway.
Whether at Bowling Green, Utah or UF,
Meyer has demanded his coaching staff teaches
exactly the same high-and-
tight technique he learned
back in South Bend, Ind.,
almost to the point of obses-
sion.
"I think every coach you
play for is serious about tak-
ing care of the ball," UF tight
Meyer end Tate Casey said. "But
I've never seen anybody ad-
dress it as much as him."
But Meyer must be doing something right.
Sporting a plus-13 turnover margin No.
2 nationally the Gators have lost just four


fumbles this season, keeping themselves in
games despite otherwise shaky offensive per-
formances.
"It's Coaching 101," Meyer said. "If you take
care of the football, you have a chance to win."
Simple as it may be, it's a philosophy that
required an acclimation period for many play-
makers.
"When I was growing up, my main concern
was about making plays," tailback Markus
Manson said. "I wasn't concerned about how
I held the ball."
That's exactly why the redshirt freshman
carried the ball a mere 12 times during UF's
first five conference games this season.

Huertas leaves Puerto Rico, finds new home


By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer

He entered the game with 13
minutes, 21 seconds remaining
in the first half to the applause
of a crowd 1,300 miles away
from home.
It took him just 22 seconds to
pick up his first foul, but when
he got a good look on offense, he
spotted up. Craig Kilborn might
have described it best.
Release.
Rotation.
Splash.
With the Rowdy Reptiles
exploding to his right, David
Huertas knew he had made it.
A long journey that began off
of Exit 33 in Humacao, Puerto
Rico, was complete.
"It felt great," Huertas said.
"All the fans, all the people
cheering for you. It was great.
How many people? 8,000 peo-
ple? It feels great."
The actual attendance at

Height


Cornerback overcomes stature


for success


By IAN FISHER
Alligator Staff Writer
ifisher@alligator.org
It could have been when his son was named a starter
for his own Florida Gators.
It could have been when he was named a captain, or
even when he received the title of "The Face of Florida
Football."
Vernell Brown Sr. has a whole laundry list of times in
his son's life to be proud of.
His son has won basketball championships in high
school, has made countless plays as a Gators' starting
cornerback and has become a father.
But one thing sticks out more than any of that to
Vernell Brown Sr.
On April 29, Vernell Sr. watched his oldest son
become the first member of his immediate family to
receive a college degree.
"The thing I remember most is sitting there smiling
with tears running down my eyes," Vernell Sr. said. "I
actually saw a dream come true."
The Dream.
From the moment Vemell Brown Jr. started playing
Pop Wamer football, his father emphasized ti6. impor-
tance of a degree. Vernell Sr. and two of Vernll's uncles,
Johnell Brown and Charlie Brown, all played football for
their hometown Gators, but they fell short of graduat-
. in. Vemrnell Sr. said he was about 30 hours away from
graduation. ,
When Vemell first started playing football, he and his
father ma4e a list of three ;oal- for him: a football schol-
arsitiv to UFRsuccess o?'the field and most importantly,


a college degree. -
Vemell Sr. stressed his son's education so much be- ;'
cause he didn't want him to waste the opportunity as
he had.
Now, the Gators' starting cornerback has met all
three goals and is currently in grad school. He is the
only player on the team sitting on a degree.
"It felt great to walk across that stage," Vernell said.
"You get here and everythings'eems like it's so far off, as
far as a degree."
Vernell had to fightiltrough quite a bit to get that
degree. 5 .
The Little Man
Almost allof Vernell's peaks and valleys in his time
at UF were because of one thing his height. s
Vernell has been constantly questioned, constantly
doubted because of his stature. He stands at 5 i ooi-S, the
Gators' shortest starter. /
7 Vernell Sr. remembers hearing natipofal media talk-
ing about his son's height before 'the Gators' 'game
with Tennessee earlier this season He cried once again
watching his son during that 16-I Gators victory. '
"All day long, I listened to'those guys on ESPN talk-
ing about how Tennessee receivers were going to have
a field day with the little man, with Vernell Brown,"
Vernell Sr. said. "I 15ew they couldn't measure the size

Football granted him the opportunity, but Vernell
Brown seized it, becoming the first member of his
immediate family to receive a college degree.
Brown is the only UF player to have already gradu-
ated.


the doubters wrong every Saturday, thanks in part to his
father calling defensive coordinator Charlie Strong and
convincing him to move Vernell back to defense.
But around when he moved back to cornerback,
Vernell received even better news from Emiliana
Russell, his fiance.
She was pregnant.

The Little Girl
On Nov. 15,2004, Russell gave birth to Kendall Renee
Brown. Vemell calls it by far the best moment of his life.
"It felt good in a way just to know that there was
something that I could give him that you really can't
put a price on," said Emiliana, who works for the
Department of Children and Families.
When Vemell found out his baby was going to be a
girl, he was so excited because he never had a sister and
wanted a girl.
"He called everybody," Emiliana said.
Now, Vemell's days are even busier. He takes his
daughter to day care in the morning and plays with her
at night.
"She lights up when she sees him, and she fusses
when he leaves," Emiliana said.

doesn't work out, he has a backup plan working with
children. Being a youth counselor is his calling, he said.
The NFL, however, would be so much better for the
time being. Vernell can always become a youth coun-
selor later in life.
It would be a continuation of the football lineage in
the Brown family. Vernell's younger brother, Vincent, is
a junior at Gainesville High and also wants to play for
UF. Football is a way of life in the Brown household.
But Vemell Sr. isn't into the NFL, even though
Vemell's mother, Valarie, loves it.
"On Sundays, I can't sit and watch a whole NFL
game, and she wants to sit there and watch football all
day," Vernell Sr. said about his wife. "Often, I'll tell her,
'Let's turn the TV to something'else,' and she gets an at-
titude because she wants to watch football all day."
Vernell already had to turn Emiliana into a football
fan; she hadn't attended a UF game before she met him.
So why not turn his dad on to the NFL? ,
Even if that doesn't work out, there's so much more
Vemell has accomplished to be proud of.
"He such a little man doing such big things,"
Emiliana said, "so I'm really proud of him."

Vernell Brown almost never had the opportunity to take
part in the post-game singing of the UF alma mater, a blos-
soming tradition of the Coach Urban Meyer era. Due to his
5-foot-8 frame, Brown was overlooked by the staff of former
Coach Ron Zook and considered transferring.


Defense strives for shutout


By ANDREW ABRAMSON
Alligator Staff Writer
aabramsqn@alligator.org

Call it the sandwich game. It's like a
piece of stale baloney squished between
two pieces of gourmet French bread.
Welcome to Vanderbilt week, the final
Southeastern Conference home game of the
season.
Yes, at 4-4 and 2-3 in the SEC, the,
Commodores are actually a much-improved
squad from the usual bottom-dweller that
always faces the Gators this time of year.
But a week after UF defeated Georgia 14-
10, and a week before the Gators face Steve
Spurrier's South Carolina Gamecocks for
a chance to lead the SEC East, Saturday's,
game certainly doesn't have much luster.
Since the Gators may not have much at
stake in this one, the players are thinking
about other things like the number zero.
"We would like to go out there and shut
everyone out," said linebacker Brandon
Siler.
That's about all you're going to get this
week, considering that all of the buzz sur-
rounds the Gators defense.
By now, with three games remaining in
the season, it's clear that UF's defense is the
backbone of the team.
The Gators' defense currently ranks fifth
in the nation, while the offense, which had
been expected to carry the team from the
looks of the off-season, is No. 67 nationally.
-Playing a team like Vanderbilt could pro-
vide an ideal opportunity for UF's offense
to finally pour on the points an4 delight the


fans with an offensive outburst.
Then again, this is the SEC, where a
single touchdown often is enough for a
victory.
"[An offensive explosion] could happen
this week, next week or FSU week," receiver
Chad Jackson said. "You never know. It'll
eventually happen, we just don't know
when."
Meyer reorganized the offense into a
more traditional downfield :attack against
Georgia. When UF scored two touchdowns
in the first 6 minutes, it looked like the per-
fect coaching move.
'Although the Gators
didn't score again, the
14 points proved to be
enough for a huge confer-
ence win.
Meyer said he will
likely use the scaled-down,
Jackson offense against speedy
defenses, while calling on
options and trick plays against other teams.
Vanderbilt is one of those other teams,
and its coach, Bobby Johnson, isn't quite
sure what to expect from UF's offense.
"That's the trouble you have when you
prepare for Florida," Johnson said. "They
can do both, and we have to prepare for
both.
"They're going to choose to go one route
or another or may go half and half, I don't
know. That puts a burden on us to make
sure we get enough practice time against
both versions of their offense. I'm sure we'll
see examples of both."


Post-Georgia, Gators critics at a loss for words


T isten. Listen closely, and you can hear the crickets in the
Swamp.
L Wait, that's not it. Quiet down and listen. Hear that?
It must be Urban Meyer snoring.
"I'm sleeping a little bit [now]," Meyer said.
Bizarre. Isn't this the same coach who couldn't catch one Z
between the LSU and Georgia games?
OK, so maybe he deserves a rest. Really, Urban snooze
away. It's OK.
For the first time all season, there is no season slipping
away.
For the first time, there is no chatter about the spread of-
fense not being able to score a touchdown against Pop Wamer
defenses.
There is no more talk about Josh Portis being the best thing
since sliced cheese.
Really, is there anything to bitch about? This doesn't. feel
right. There must be something.
Play Tate Casey ... oh, wait after spending three weeks on
the Tater Salad campaign trail, it finally looks like I've made a
difference in his life.
Play Markus Manson ... never mind. The Gators remem-
bered they had a fast guy listed at tailback before the Georgia
game. There's still no comment from the coaching staff on ru-
mors that Manson has really been fast since two-a-days.
Teach the O-line how to block ... Blast! They've somehow
learned how.
See, there really is nothing to complain about, nothing
to criticize. The sad thing is that it won't get any better on
Saturday.
Instead of sophomoric Georgia fans drawing the ire of
Gators fans, we'll have about 32 Vanderbilt fans, averaging
1590 on their SATs, who drove down to Gainesville to see what
a college football player looks like in person.


S So what are you going to tell them?
"Yea, you Commodore guys suck at
*- life. You and your awesome Nashville
and all that country music and all that
Jack Daniels. Yea, I hope you guys get
Louis fired from your Charles Schwab jobs
AnasLouis and all that."
Anata You can't make fun of Vanderbilt fans
Louisin the Bullpen and go home with a guilt-free conscience.
Just consider the fact that they can't
even curse back at you. Commodores
coach Bobby Johnson enforces anr anti-cussing policy with his
players. As for Vandy students who swear? Johnson has been
known to take away their SAT and their Calculus worksheets
as punishment.
The lack of negativity this week has gotten so out of hand
that not even the message-board freaks know what to com-
plain about.
Here are some of the top threads on Gators message boards
this week:
Fan lashes out against Gator Nation for not voting often
enough for Erica Raulerson, a UF cheerleader who is falling
-behind in an Athlon Sports college cheerleader contest.
Fan brags about buying a Gators shirt with the X-Men or-
ange sleeve UF wore against Georgia.
Fan cites vandalized BMW photo as proof for "why you
wouldn't sleep with a psycho dude's ex-wife."
Fan studiously points out a Georgia fan wearing jean shorts
in Sports Illustrated On Campus.
And what would we do without the "Has anyone else seen
the picture of Tommy Bowden's grown daughter buck nekkid?
Looks pretty real" thread.
Maybe Chris Hetland will miss a field goal Saturday and
make this stop.

Not officially associated with the University VOLUME 99 ISSUE 52 Cause fear By JESSICA RIFFEL Alligator Writer jriffel@alligator.org Investigators are still uncertain why five men attacked UP student Thomas Brown Saturday night after the Florida-Georgia football game, a spokesman for the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said Thursday. "No motive has been given for the incident yet," said JSO spokesman Ken Jefferson. He added that robbery has been ruled out as a possible motive for the slaying of Brown, 24. meBrown, a -member of Beta Theta Pi Fraternity, was beaten to death Brawn two block -outside The Jacksonville Landing and was found unconscious after patrol officers received a call about a fight. Assistant State Attorney Angela Corey said the medical examiner's report ruled that Brown died from head trauma.

"We Shall Overcome" filled the streets as supporters marched from campus to the Institute of Black Culture on University Avenue. All ages and races gathered in the courtyard in front of the UF Chemistry Lab Building at "Remembering Rosa," a program for the mother of the civil rights movement.

The National Council of Negro Women and the African American Studies Program organized the ceremony to honor the life and legacy of Parks who died at age 92 on Oct. 24 half a century after she refused to give a white man her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Ala. "We hadn't heard of anyone in the community or on campus doing anything to commemorate her," said Imani Hope, president of the UF chapter of the National Council of Negro Women. Speakers from the African American Studies Program addressed Parks' importance in the civil rights movement and society, and what efforts should still be made to overcome oppression. Parks was not physically tired when she refused to give up her seat; professor Faye Harrison said. "She (Parks) was sick and tired of being sick and tired of racism,"Harrison said.

But until this week, every elevator in the Union bore an operating license that expired in 2002, leaving passengers not knowing if their ride was state certified. "I don't know if [failure to display an up-to-date elevator license] is breaking any law that I'm aware of," said Reitz Union Executive Director Eddie Daniels in an interview Thursday "But that's still very curious that we haven't had certificates for three years." "There have been a number of very large changes in the way elevators are regulated in Florida." Geoff Luebkemann Business and Professional Regulation director Although all Union elevators -including those designated for employees only -displayed expired license certificates, Daniels said UF records state that the elevators have passed inspections for the past three years. He added that each elevator has been inspected annually since the certificates expired in 2002, but neither the Florida Bureau of Elevator Safety nor the independent contractor who conducted the inspections issued the Union new licenses in three years. However, an employee of the Division of Hotels and Restaurants within the Department of Business and Professional Regulation said that between 1999 and 2003, her department had no records of any elevator inspections in the Union. "Unless someone calls that in, we won't know. It might just slip through the cracks," she said. The employee, who could not give her name due, to departmental restrictions, said that at least two of the Union's elevators failed their inspections in late 2003.

The committee can raise total fees by 5 percent yearly, or 95 cents per credit hour. The creation of the program would cost about $750,000 and would mark the first addition of a sport in eight years. Foley said even without the additional funds, the University Athletic Association will find a way to bring a new women's sport to campus. "The pie can be cut up in only so many ways," he said. "We understand that." Foley mentioned the possibility of a women's lacrosse, crew, equestrian or water-polo team. He said an additional sport "only does great things for this institution." The request marks the first time in six years that UAA has asked for student funds exceeding the $1.90 per credit hour it is allotted. Foley said one of the main reasons he wanted to expand the women's sports program was to increase the number of female student athletes to about 50 percent. The number stands at 45 percent now. Associate Vice President for Finance and Administration Bob Miller said of all the requests for additional student funding, it may be easiest for UAA to raise money on its own.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 3 ON CAMPUS Speaker stresses that culture cannot be erased By DIANA MAZZELLA Alligator Writer dmazzella@aligator.org Vijay Prashad denounced multiculturalism as modern racism Thursday night during an Asian American Heritage Month event. The professor of International Studies at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn., explained to about 100 people how multicultural ideas failed to serve humanity. Although he was sponsored by Asian American Kaleidoscope Month, his message did not apply only to Asian American students. As his voice echoed in the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom, he said that colorblindness -consciously looking beyond a person's race or ethnicity -is disregarding that person's history. He said people are not blank slates and cannot be treated that way. Multiculturalism divides people into cultures and only shows the conservative elements of cultures. He also explained that these two ideas do not work together. "How can you celebrate cultures when you don't have history?" he asked. He described the "model-minority" myth and how it affects people of all cultures, saying this nyth makes Asian and Jewish cultures superic strips white people of any culture and Vijay Prashad, author, associate professor and director of International Studies at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn., speaks to students Thursday night about multicultural issues as part of Asian American Kaleidoscope month. implies that black people have a lower level of chauvinistic about their cultures and say they culture. are proud to be black or Chinese. He said people use the myth to become He also challenged the perception of Asians and other minorities as being geniuses and well educated. He said the upper-class immigrants from India who came to the United-States initially were not representative of all Indian people. "They have this genius because of state selection," he said, meaning the United States would only accept upper-class immigrants from India. Asian American Student Union President Sandy Chiu said his speech showed her how complex culture is and that some campus groups tend to focus only on festivals and not political issues. Prashad encouraged groups to take on both social work and political, causes. Raju Vyas, the president of UF's Speech and Debate Society, said Prashad discussed "a lot of unique arguments about ethnic nationalism that I hadn't heard before." Prashad has authored several books, including "The Karma of Brown Folk" and "Everybody was .Kung Fu Fighting: AfroAsian Connections and the Myth of Cultural Purity." Asian American Kaleidoscope Month and. Student Government's speakers bureau, Accent, paid about $1,500 to hold the speech, Kaleidoscope Month Director Andrea Ranada said. Report: Tuition hikelowestinyears Loans increase as grants languish By RACHEL LEWINTER Alligator Contributing Writer While some students are getting home from a night of partying at 5 a.m., Vicky Goldenberg is getting up for work. The UF education junior is a full-time student who also holds a full-time job as an assistant manager at. Old Navy, in addition to. two other part-time jobs. It may seem like a lot of responsibility for a college student, but for Goldenberg and millions of others faced with the increasing costs of college, it's worth it. "I do everything I possibly can so I don't have to take out loans," Goldenberg said. "Everyone makes sacrifices, and these are nine." The College Board, best known for creating and administering the SAT, released its annual report on the cost of college and student financial aid last month, highlighting once-again the trend of increasing tuition. But the report offered some good news: Percentage increases slowed to single digits for the 2005-06 academic year. The average cost of tuition and fees at four-year public universities increased 7.1 percent to $5,491 from last year, the lowest rate hike since 2001. The tuition increase is significantly smaller this year than in the last two years, during which tuition increased 10 percent on average and rose by 13 percent a year ago. UF has little control of undergraduate tuition rates, because they are set by the Florida Legislature, not the UF Board of Trustees, the university's governing body, said Karen Fooks, the director of Student Financial Affairs. The Florida Legislature established a 5 percent increase in UF tuition for undergraduates for the 2004-05 academic year. "It is highly unlikely that We will see any significant growth in grant aid in the foreseeable future." Karen Fooks Student Financial Affairs director Tuition at public institutions is largely dependent on state legislative allocations, Fooks said. When the stdte budget is healthy and appropriations to higher education are high, tuition is held down. When the state economy is poor, tuition goes up. The College Board report is a reflection of an improving economy, so the need for large tuition increases is lessening in some states. Fooks said she thinks it wouldn't be unusual if the legislature decided not to increase rates for a year-or two if the economy remained good. From 1996 to 2002, total grant aid for undergraduates grew twice as fast as total borrowing, but since 2002, that pattern has reversed. In 2004-05, the, percentage of total undergraduate aid in the forn of grants declined for the third year in a row, according to the report. UF undergraduates borrow about $13,000, and the national average is just above $15,000, Pooks said. "The trend of increasing loans rather than grants is part of a continuing trend, and I don't see that changing anytime soon," she said. Budget dollars are tight, particularly at the federal level, because of the war in Iraq and the money needed for hurricane assistance, she added. "It is highly unlikely that we will see any significant growth in grant aid in the foreseeable future," Fooks said. The report takes into consideration that college students incur more expenses than tuition alone. According to the report, total tuition, fees, and room and board charges at public four-year colleges grew more rapidly between 2000-01 and 2005-06 than during any other five-year period since 1975. Students and parents find ways to supplement the cost, of college through grants, loans, tax credits and other savings plans. According to the report, nearly $129 billion in student aid was distributed in Florida during the 200405 academic year, almost $10 billion more than the previous year. During 2003-04, more than 120,000 Florida students received Bright Futures funds, according to the Florida Department of Education Web site. About 42,000 students at UF receive some sort of financial aid. "The Bright Futures Scholarship program has held down student loan debt at UF," Fooks said. "The amount of students who borrow money for a bachelor's degree at UF is less than the national average." ff icials sus e By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer dcohen@alligator.org UF has suspended a $50-per-semester fee charged to international students until further notice, officials said Thursday. UF International Center Dean Dennis Jett said the fee covered the cost to track,,monitor and report the activities of 2,700 international students. Instead of footing the bill through its own budget, the university passed the fee on to its international students after its Fall 2002 inception. "We thought it would be best to suspend it," he said. "If you went to a university that only consisted of Student Florida residents, you would get a very different Life education than if you went to one that represented the world that you are eventually going to have to compete in." The fee was created to fund the government-mandated Student and Exchange Visitor Information System, which was rushed to implementation after Sept. 11, 2001. To meet the requirements of SEVIS, UF hired more staff to monitor the actions of international students and update the students' home countries of their progress. Despite discrimination claims, Jett said SEVIS "is not something that we have an option on." An October audit stated that UF acted "dearly without statutory authority" when it imposed the fee. But Jett said the Florida Board of Governors, the body that oversees the state's 11 public universities, approved the idea during the summer. Student Sen. Fei Long, who came to UF in 2002 to study statistics, said paying the extra fee was disappointing. "It just shows that Americans do not welcome international students as they did before," he said. UF Provost Janie Fouke said she does not know where the up to $250,000 to fund the program will come from. "We want the best minds to come and study with us," she said. "I think the international fee had the potential to be a deterrent for students from other countries." Student Body President Joe Goldberg said he thinks UF is going to eat the cost."It seems to me that the university has found a way, or they wouldn't have suspended the fee," he said.

4, ALLIGATOR U FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4,2005 Students fondly remember sole Gainesville Denny's By CHERYL CLARKE Alligator Contributing Writer At about 3 a.m. Saturday, UF student Nick McCrea and two friends decided to stroll over to Denny's on the northeast corner of University Avenue and Northwest 13th Street for a late-night snack. McCrea said he had never been to that Denny's before and was looking forward to eating during the wee hours of the morning. "All the places on campus were closed already, and we were hungry," he said. "So we were like, 'Denny's."' Much to his dismay, McCrea was instead greeted with a sign on the door that stated the 24-hour restaurant did not renew its lease and was shut down. 24-Hour Food in Gainesville 0 Clock Restaurant 2010 N Main St. 0 Five Star Pizza 210 SW 2nd Ave. 0 Krispy Kreme 310 NW 13th St. U Perkins Restaurant 6825 NW 8th Ave U McDonald's 201 NW 13th St. 1030 E University Ave. U Steak'n Shake 1610 SW 13th St. 3714 SW 42nd St. U Waffle House 2120 SW 13th St. 7611 W Newberry Rd.

"We just sat there on the curb for like 10 minutes." The hungry, tired and disappointed group weighed the few options left at a time when most people have already been sleeping for hours. Eventually, they walked back to campus and ordered a pizza. Denny's shut down Oct. 10 after the owner of the franchise, Rich Beattie, decided to close it, said Cindy Woodard, spokeswoman for Denny's Corp. Woodard said Beattie made the decision to close the restaurant without citing his reasons to headquarters officials. "Beattie doesn't have to tell us why," she said. Beattie could not be reached for comment. Forest Gruss, one of McCrea's friends who accompanied him on the futile Saturday venture, created a group on Facebook.com called "Wahfah?!? Denny's Is Closing? Nooo," to protest Denny's demise. "It was something that shocked me," Gruss said. She said she ate at Denny's because it was close to campus and a good substitute for ordering pizza. Gruss wanted other UF students who frequent the Web site to be aware that the restaurant had closed, and she wanted to see if she and others could do something about it. She said she never ate at Denny's during the day but spent many nights there with a group of friends. Gruss' favorite foods were Danny Ghitis/ Alligator Former employees of the Denny's restaurant inside the Holiday Inn building on 13th Street and University Avenue wait at the empty venue for patrons to come and buy its furniture. pancakes and the desserts because "that's what you crave in the middle of the night," she said. Ronald Olnspead, the general manager of the Holiday Inn where Denny's was located, said the hotel did not own the restaurant, and he was not aware of what would happen to the space. Ohnspead said he believed the owner did not have the, property back yet because it was still leased to Denny's Corp. He said the Denny's concept works well in the mornings, but that it nght not have been the best place for a 24-hour restaurant. "It was certainly convenient, but it's pretty hard for any kind of restaurant to run on a 24-hour schedule," he said. Obnspead said the 24-hour idea is a good one along a highway, but the Denny's at University and 13th did not have an ideal location. He added that Holiday Inn's business was not affected much by the recent closing. He said he would like to see an establishment that doesn't take business from restaurants already here and would instead "complement the community."

In 2003, the Florida Legislature enacted a law requiring all elevators to be inspected annually, as opposed to the previous requirement of every two years, Luebkemann said. He added that all elevators must now meet On higher standards in order to be issued a license. CaMpUS "The law does not allow us to renew certificates without current satisfactory inspections," he said, adding that inspection violations may constitute anything from safety issues to trash lying at the bottom of elevator pits. Although the Reitz Union's elevators now display up-todate certificates, some Union employees still complain that they frequently experience problems. "They're always calling people out here to fix [the elevators]," said housekeeping employee Nicole Durden. "The maintenance ones break down at least once a day." Ron Therriault is listed as having inspected the elevators Sept. 13, according to records provided by Union staff. At press time, Therriault could not be reached for comment, nor could Union management be reached to explain the updated certificates that appeared this week. )

6, ALLIGATOR N FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4,2005 Editorial Two months overdue, Gainesville's brand of autumn has finally arrived. Or is it a hot version of winter? We can't tell. And we wouldn't know anyway; the Editorial Board is perpetually stuck inside its dank, dark office, churning out opinion pieces on the state of the world. After our Halloween was spent among UF students dressed as creative versions of prostitutes, we didn't want to socialize with too many of our female peers. We could catch a sexually transmitted disease by osmosis. Instead, we have turned our concentration toward an even more depressing indicator of the fall of our society: the news. We've even organized it all into two easy-to-understand categories -the good and the bad. So stoke the fire, rake up the leaves and buy a bunch of colorful gourds for tHis week's edition of. darts & LAurels We'll begin with an international spin and hand a betterlate-than-never-even-for-the-hopelessly-stubborn LAUREL to UF administration for finally suspending a $50 fee charged to international students. UF officials charged the fee to help pay for the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System, or SEVIS, a federal program that tracks international students to ensure they don't engage in terrorist activities. Students .have long lobbied against the fee, asserting that it's racist and hurts foreign-student enrollment. And about two weeks ago, an audit claimed UF was acting "clearly without statutory authority" by diverting the cost to the students. We think this is an issue between universities and the federal government. If UF has to comply with a law without receiving compensation for the cost, then that is a problem for the university. The fee may be small compared to other expenses, but it becomes a symbolic move that could turn away international students. But UP officials aren't the only ones who have made illadvised decisions. We fire a throwing-money-at-businessesmustave-a-good-rdason-bebnd-it DART at Gainesville city staff for recommending Tuesday that the city reimburses University Corners with $34 million of its property taxes. The development is to be a three-block-long building on the corner of University Avenue and 13th Street, with retail, residential and hotel aspects. City officials argue that University Corners will not cost the city more than 10 percent of the taxes the building generates. Thus, they're offering the business a 90-percent tax cut for the next 26 years, or until $34 million is reached. It's all part of a program to help out projects that "literally transform" the property. But will Corners change it for the better? How will students benefit? Are we sure the complex will survive when it plans to charge for parking and have only luxury apartments? Will the price of food increase because of the rent? The complex is obviously directed at students, but we don't know if it will garner their support. This needs to be addressed before we support such a drastic favor. We're also a little leery of the program itself. Why should the city help businesses that can't get the interest of enough private investors to build their projects themselves? Keeping with our theme of development, we shoot an oil-is-no-longer-the-answer-and-we're-all-going-to-go-brokewhile-you-figure-it-out DART at the U.S. Senate for voting against removing a provision in the budget reconciliation bill that would allow drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Our opposition to drilling aside, we think it's irresponsible to allow such an important issue to be overshadowed by such a large bill. We want senators to fight and discuss the measure, not be distracted by other issues. Every decision should be thoroughly scrutinized, whether in Gainesville or in Washington. l the independent florida alligatr 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.

Those who share files respond that restricting the free trade of electronic media stifles creativity and closes off the global marketplace to the arts. But as both sides argue their particular rights, there's one big loser caught in the middle: the artists themselves. While the hot topic in copyright news today is broadcasters trying to stop Internet-based duplication of their transmissions, I'm going to have to fall back on the example that -for me -hits closest to home: music. As a musician, I can understand the desire to receive full payment for your work. But I also hate the idea that restrictive copyright laws, if enforced, would make it nearly impossible for millions of prospective fans around the world to hear my music. To say the recording industry is the sole agent at fault for this situation, however, is folly. Just as much blame -or more -lays on those exploiting this unprecedented access to creative works in order to steal massive amounts of protected material. Every person I know who shares music has songs from at least a handful of bands he or she otherwise never would have come across, which is a testament to the Internet's unique ability to spread art to those who can appreciate it most. Unfortunately, every person I know who shares music also has illegal copies of entire albums for which I can guarantee he or she would have otherwise paid full price. I'll admit I caved to the system: I deleted all of my shared music over a year ago. As much as I loved having the ability to more or less instantly peruse a new band's entire'catalog, I couldn't escape the fact that it was the same as walking out of a store with a handful of stolen CDs. Looking at my collection of legal MP3s, however, it's easy to see the impact file sharing has had on my musical tastes. There are at least fifteen bands Matt Sanchez whose presence in my library I In Moderation can directly attribute to having downloaded or burned examples mosnrhezaIigatororg of their songs. My two favorite artists of all time are included in that list, as well as at least half of my Top 10. When I look back at all the enjoyment I've gotten out of that music, as sappy as it sounds, it makes me sick to know that my exposure to it was twisted into something illegal because of extreme actions from both sides of this debate. So what's the solution? Bands and record companies would like the public to be satisfied with samples provided on band homepages and Web sites such as myspace.com. But this doesn't allow prospective listeners to choose the songs, and shuts out those who may be introduced to new favorite bands based on other fans' recommendations. On the other hand, file-sharers would like unrestricted access; many claim they still would buy as many albums anyway. But we all know, deep down, that's a lie. And therein lies the problem: As long as both sides are unwilling to compromise, it's unlikely there ever will be any reasonable way to resolve the situation.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 7 Letters to the Editor Opinions page full of partisan extremes How about a little less finger-pointing? I've noticed a trend lately within the Opinions section of this paper. This includes the editorial, columns and letters. It goes a little something like this: A Republican writer says, "Liberals are trying to ruin the country!" Then a Democrat responds with, "You are taking our rights away!" Finally, someone says, "Liberals are lazy!" and then, "Conservatives are creating a tyranny and trying to control my free spirit!" For the sake of being politically correct, either side is likely to start the pointing. Granted, there are a few insightful opinions. Someone who takes a comprehensive look at both sides and explains why he believes one side is better writes a solid piece. But these seem to be few and far between. Everybody is making observations about the other side and why it contains either crazy Russian communists or die-hard, close-minded conservatives. Simply because the other view has disadvantages, it does not make your view automatically right. That is why I am proposin saying, "They are the ones me them," writers put a little t opinion and make the conclu that everyone can see and n disregard as partisan hooey. you don't sound close-mind make someone actually agree "from the other side." E E, Writer gives credit to oppon Naturally, it is difficult to there are other causes; why exaggerate and that instead of mention race only? ssing up; blame Furthermore, Walters seems to imply that ought into an activating more legislation regarding womsion something en's rights would elicit rape victims to feel ot immediately they could bring their reports to the police. Who knows, if Will legislation actually cause rape victims to ed, you might communicate their feelings better? with you who is Finally, if Walters is attempting to demonstrate that protecting the environment is not Anthony J. Such an extreme cause, why would she say a quip 3LS like ".policymakers are actively destroying the only planet we have?" inflated statements such as that cause levelheaded people to discard her values as extreme and irrelevant. ent's claims Michael K. O'Malley persevere when UF alumnus one is forced to face an opposition that characterizes your values as "extreme," but Erica Walters' letter in Tuesday's Alligator made it obvious why her opponents call her extreme. She simply left too many dots to connect. Truly, nearly 50 percent of black children live below the poverty line, but is racial inequality really the lone reason for this injustice? Surely Holocaust has no connection to abortion The premise of Jennifer Tovey's letter in Thursday's Alligator was very offensive. To compare abortion to the Holocaust is not only disrespectful, but also completely ludicrous. Abortion is not the systematic genocide of an entire people; it is an individual choice that a woman makes depending on her own situation. The 12 million human beings who were brutally murdered in the Holocaust were people with names, homes and families. Most importantly, they were already bom. While it's arguable whether or not an aborted fetus was alive, it is by no stretch of the imagination a living person. An aborted fetus is not ripped away from all that it has known, stripped of its civil liberties and sent to a death camp. While it is true that Holocaust education uses images to teach people, these images are used in either a classroom setting or in a museum. People have a choice whether or not to be exposed to the content. The images are used as supplements to actual lesson plans, not to shock or upset bystanders. To drive through a university campus and have to see graphic and upsetting images is not education; it is propaganda. Stephanie Fra iman 3JM SGreenery Square Annual Christmas Open House Food! Fun!

8, ALLIGATOR U FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2005 By DELIA M. RIVERA ZABALA Alligator Contributing Writer Stephanie Sinclair has been dodging bullets for three years. But she spent Thursday roaming UF's College of Journalism and Communications and reflecting on her time as a Gator. "It's great to be back," Sinclair said. "It brings back so many memories." Sinclair, a photojournalist who graduated from the college in 1998, visited her alma mater as part of the Hearst Visiting Professional program, named for 20thcentury publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst. Sinclair presented a sideshow of pictures and spoke to reporting students in the Gamett Auditoritun, as well as other journalism classes throughout the day. She spoke about witnessing many difficult events in the Middle East since being sent there in 2002. She arrived in Iraq without any experience reporting in a war zone and covered the civilian perspective before and after the invasion. "I wanted to be a voice for the people who were in the middle of the country, without any control whether there was going to be a war on top of them," Sinclair said. In Afghanistan, Sinclair photographed women who had set themselves on fire as a way to protest the government's oppression of them. "I was just crying while I was taking these pictures," Sinclair said. She also took pictures of Afghani girls being married to older men, such as an 11-year-old girl marrying a much older man with gray hair because her family Sinclair didn't have enough money to support her. "It's too hard to come back and pretend I didn't see it," Sinclair said. "We have a major responsibility to show people what's going on over there." Sinclair also covered former Palestinian Prime Minister Yasser Arafat's funeral. She recalled standing in the middle of the crowd mourning Arafat and being groped by more than 10 men while covering the event for Time magazine. "I basically punched my way through Arafat's funeral," she said. Even so, Sinclair said she believes Americans should see what is happening in the Middle East. "Everybody over there knows what's going on in America," Sinclair said. "But we don't know what's happening to them." Sinclair, who worked for the Chicago Tribune for five years, is now based in Beirut, Lebanon where she is a contract photographer for Corbis, a photo agency based in New York City. "Every semester the Department of Journalism brings a speaker to the college so that students can receive advice from people with a great level of enlightenment," said Jol Freeman, a photojournalism professor who taught Sinclair in the mid-1990s. Journalism Master Lecturer Mike Foley, himself a visiting Hearst professional two decades ago, said it is important to bring practicing journalists to share their experiences with students. "It's inspiring to see what she has gone through," Foley said. "I would have peed in my pants." AZ urnn shares MiddJ e East ta Ies 1718 W. Univ.

She stressed that Parks was a dedicated activist and hard worker before and after the day that made her famous in history. She said Parks was a real person and a role model. "I see my mother, my grandmother and my aunt in Rosa Parks," she said. "I see myself in her." Hope said she thinks Parks' death encouraged many people to take a closer look at Park's activism. She said sometimes she gets disgruntled and disenchanted: "I think I'm just one person; What can I do?" Hope said. "Rosa Parks shows that yeah, you're just one person, but you can do a lot." "This should be a major rejoicing of a welllived life for someone who did something for all of us," Hardman said. "All of us."

UF VOLLEYBALL Gators attempt to clinch SEC By BRYAN JONES Alligator Writer For the second year in a row, Tennessee handed the Gators a reality check, and UF's magic number is down to two. The No. 6 UF volleyball team (212, 11-1 Southeastern Conference) will wrap up its four-game road trip this weekend, taking on Alabama (20-5, 8-4) tonight before playing Auburn (8-12, 2-10) on Sunday. Should the-Gators come out victorious in both weekend matches, they will emerge with at least a tie -possibly a win, for their 15th consecutive SEC title. After that, they return home for their final two regular season matches. Coming off a tough 3-2 loss against Tennessee that ended UF's 203-match winning streak against unranked opponents, the Gators may have a little extra motivation to get back on the winning track and claim the, title early. "We'll learn from it," Coach Mary Wise said. "It was one of those matches that we'll get a whole lot better from. We'll certainly be watching a lot of videotape. "The good news is, it's one match. We're still in control of an SEC championship, and that is what we are going to try to win [this] weekend." History certainly bodes well for UF's chances of winning the SEC title tis weekend. The Gators have never Wise lost to Alabama and are 20-0 against the Crimson Tide under Wise. Alabama, however, is 9-1 at home this season and is not the pushover they have been in the past, Wise said. "[We are going .to play a] much improved Alabama team," she said. "Now our challenge is, how do we respond off of a loss?" The Gators have had similar success against Auburn, holding a 25-1 record versus the Tigers, including a 21-0 mark under Wise. In fact, UF has not lost a match to any team from the state of Alabama with Wise at the helm. Factor in the Gators' 2-0 record against AlabamaBirmingham, and UF is 43-0 under Wise against teams from Alabama, winning 129 of the 133 games. While Auburn's 2-10 conference record puts them in second-to-last place in the SEC, the Gators are perceived as the juggernauts of the conference, causing every match to be dangerous, Wise said. "We think every team, when they play Florida, comes with a little extra," she said. "We've created that. We understand that the target on our back is big no matter who we are playing. "We fully expect every night that we will get everybody's best shot, whether we are here in the O'Connell Center or on the road."

Although receiver Dallas Baker had been on crutches all week with a sprained ankle until Thursday, he may play this weekend against Vanderbilt, UF Coach Urban Meyer said. Baker didn't practice Thursday but ran in the morning. "Ion purpose kept him out this afternoon, but this morning he came in wish the trainers" Meyer said. "I didn't see it, but they came up and told me that he ran real well. We're holding out hope." Receivers Chad Jackson and Jemalle Cornelius also should be back to full speed against Vanderbilt Meyer said. Jachson has been having sore hamstrings and Cornelius was recovering from a sprained ankle. Even with them back, Baker playing would be big for the Gators, Meyer said. "I think he's our best wide receiver right now," Meyer said. "He's our most disciplined route runner, he's got great size, and it'd just be great to have him out there. He won't be at full speed, but there are still some things you can do with him." Also, senior tight end Markell Thompson returned to practice this week after breaking his ankle before the season, but Meyer doesn't think he'll contribute this year. UF OR FU?: On any given day at a UF football practice, and at most other schools, expletives fly through the air like footballs. Not tat Vanderbilt. Coach Bobby Johnson implemented a policy of no profanity on the practice field a couple of years ago. "That doesn't mean nobody cusses; I'm sure all of usdo sometimes, but we just don't mahe a habit of innsn the practice field." Johnon said. "We have a lot of visitors who come and watch us practice, and we just want to conduct our practice in a first-clas manner." Joshnson said he doesn't mind if they tamse off the field, but players are now getting used to watching their mouths when they're practic ng. "When we were first implementing this policy, we had to remind them because they were used to doing it," Johnson said. "Now, they're used to not doing it. We really don't punish them if they do it now; we just sort of remind them politely. Most of the time when they slip up, they'll turn around and nay 'I'm sorry Coath."'

By BRIAN STEELE Alligator Writer WAken a team loses five of its six top scorers, you might expect a letdown. And while it would seem unlikely that the Santa Fe Community College men's basketball team could repeat last season's 25-4 record with just three returning players, don't tell that to sophomore Torrance Walker. After the Saints pummeled Oxford College 89-44 in their season opener on Thursday, Walker said he believes this year's team has improved from a team that was ranked No. 4 in the nation at one point last season. "We have more talent than we had last year," he said. "The difference is that there are a lot of guys that really want to be Kim Klement/ Alligator Santa Fe freshman forward Lancie Cannon dribbles past the Eagles during the Saints' 89-44 win against Oxford College on Thursday night at the SFCC gymnasium. winners. In order to do that, you have to put 110 percent every time on the court. "[The freshmen] are willing to learn, and a lot come from winning programs and know what it takes to be a champion. We fight together." While the Saints are still learning to play together as a team, the roster is loaded with freshmen that were all-state Florida selections in high school. Coach Chris Mowry has made sure that they know what to expect from each other. "We're happy with the results this evening," he said. "With the freshmen, we haven't developed that consistency yet where we're working hard and practicing hard every day. "The one thing we talked about before the game tonight was, 'Let's have 40 minutes of great effort.' Until we can do that, we can't become a championship basketball team." One of those newcomers is freshman point guard Brandon Bryant, who tallied nine points and seven assists. Bryant said he knew what everyone was expecting of him before his first career start. "There's no pressure," Bryant said. "When I mess up, the returning players let me know what I'm supposed to do. If the coaches see us slacking off in practice, they stop practice and let us know we're not as good as we think. If we listen to them, we know we'll get better." Even with all the incoming talent, Mowry said he feels it will take time to build the Saints back into last year's powerhouse. "There is no way we can compare this year's team to last year's team," he said. "We only have three players that were a part of it on the court, so it's completely different. "It would be a tall order to repeat last year's success. We can compete every night out once we learn to practice hard every day and play hard."

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 19 UF SOCCER Gators knocked out of SEC Tourney in first round By SPENCER DAVIS-VANNESS Alligator Writer sdvanness@alligator.org Throughout the season, the UF soccer team said the key to victory was simple: score goals early in the game. In the Gators' first-round match of the Southeastern Conference Tournament against Auburn on Thursday, sophomore forward KeLeigh Hudson scored one in less than six minutes. Game, set and match for the Gators? Not even close. Auburn responded with a newfound spark and solid defense to hand the Gators their second-ever loss in a non-final match of the SEC Tournament. Auburn was the first to defeat UF in 1995. "Our team did a great job of keeping their composure," Auburn coach Karen Hoppa said. "We battled and battled all game long." At the 30-minute mark, Auburn forward Kristin Stewart sent a chip shot, which seemed to catch the Gators' defense off guard, sailing up, over and into the goal for a game-tying score. The Gators had dominated the game for the first 25 -nutes, but Stewart's score iced the momentum. "I thought we had good rhythm early in the game," UF coach Becky Burleigh said. "We had a lot of opportunities early, but we didn't do what we needed to do. We let them hang around in the game." Auburn didn't just hang around. They took the field in the second half with new composure and energy that seemed unlikely after the match's opening tone. And while the Tigers recomposed, the Gators decomposed. After picking up a pair of yellow cards in the opening 10 minutes of the second half, have the composure late in the game."

I thought we had good rhythm early in the game. We had a lot of opportunities early, but we didn't do what we needed to do. We let them hang around in the game." Becky Burleigh UF soccer coach The Tigers fell back into a defensive position, and the Gators, though given plenty of opportunities, were unable to tie the match. "Toward the end of the game, we started to panic a bit and were taking illadvised passes," Burleigh said. "We didn't who was suspended after receiving a red card in Friday's win against South Carolina. The Gators now must prepare for an NCAA Tournament Regional. The location has not yet been determined, but a Florida State-hosted event in Tallahassee looks more likely than the tournament being held in Gainesville. The NCAA Tournament has been unkind to the Gators in recent history. After winning the 1998 National Championship, the Gators have had numerous early exits, including a surprising first-round loss to Central Florida last season. SEC Sports Information contributed to this report. Highlight plays take back seat to ball security in Meyer's offense FOOTBALL, from page 20 Despite the hype surrounding Manson, the back carried the ball lke a stack of textbooks, often dropping his wrist below his elbow. Big plays be darned, Meyer wasn't about to jeopardize field position or scoring opportunities with lackadaisical ball handling. "That's all he looks at," junior tailback DeSliawn Wynn said. "You can break a 60-yard run, and if the ball isn't high and tight like he wants it, he's always going to say something to you. He might even pull you out for a series or two." Walking through the corridors of the Swamp's south end zone, newspaper photos plaster doors, serving as reminders of proper ball security. Violating Meyer's policy, however, calls for a less subtle approach. "If we see [newspaper photos], and the kid's holding it the right way, that one gets blown up and put on the door," Meyer said. "If it's someone scoring a touchdown, and [the ball] is out there, it doesn't get blown up. It's given to me, and I go meet with the young man. It's an experience best avoided, to say the least. "That's the last thing you want to do," Casey said, "get the head coach to take a picture and blow it up and dog you in front of everybody" Lately, the Gators have given their coach less fodder for embarrassment. Meyer said he's proud of his team for learning how to carry the football properly. But sometimes fundamentals are washed away in a stream of adrenaline when roughly 1,700 pounds of defensive muscle is all that separates you from a first down. "I think I still get a little wild when I get in there and kind of change my ways," said Wynn, who fumbled a hand-off exchange against Georgia for UF's lone turnover. "In practice, I just try to work on it so it becomes second nature." But for some, it already has. "Wrist over the elbow," Casey said. "That's the only thing you've got to know about Gator football if you plan on touching the ball -wrist above the elbow." 4. 7.

"There's the language -I've been learning the language for two years now." However, he initially didn't find the level of basketball to be radically different than in his native country. "The basketball was kind of the same," Huertas said. "Between high school and college, now there's a difference, everybody is bigger, the game is faster, and right now the defenses [are tougher] than in high school." Now that he has spent a few months in college, Huertas is ready to take on both life and the game. And if his 7-point, no-turnover performance Tuesday night is any indication, he is on his way. "Right now, I'm used to it," Huertas said. "I've been here for two years; I'm used to it already."

When someone says Nashville, you're not exactly thinking football. What does come to mind? How about whiskey, women and some good old country music sounds? According to John Dowell, history director for the Ryman Auditorium, it all started when riverboat captain Thomas Ryman befriended the Rev. Samuel P. Jones, a Georgian who came to claim wayward souls in the Music City. Jones would travel the country preaching out against short skirts, gambling and drinking, a lifestyle to which Nashville was accustomed. Ryman built a tabernacle for his evangelist friend in 1892, but faith didn't pay the bills. By 1914, Ryman become a full-tone entertainment venue, and little more than a decade later, it would begin its climb to worldwide fame as home of the Grand Ole Opry. The Opry debuted in 1925 as a radio show called the WSM Barn Dance, the oldest radio show in the world, according to Dowell. Two years later, the show's announcer informed the audience, "You've just heard one hour of music from the grand opera." The rest is hillbilly history. The Ryman's list of acts over the years is a who's who of country music. It made the King of Country, Roy Acuff, an American icon in the 1940s. "One of the battle cries of the German army in World War II was, 'To hell with Mickey Mouse, to hell with FDR and to hell with Roy Acuff' Dowell said. Elvis once played to a cold Ryman audience. Bluegrass music being born on the auditorium's stage some 60 years ago, the locals weren't exactly prepared for the King's boogie-woogie version of "Blue moon of KentuckyJohnny Cash brought his narrative, railroad drifter style to the Ryman. But if one performer stands above the rest in Opry lore, Dowell said it has to be Hank Williams, who introduced SEE PICKS, PAGE 19 UF FOOTBALL Meyer obsessed with Dascrt By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org Coach Urban Meyer will never forget the day he learned how to hold a football. As a budding assistant at Notre Dame, Meyer was asked by then-Irish coach Lou Holtz to explain proper ball-carrying techniques to the coaching staff. "I remember reading a coaching manual one time how you have all these different ways to hold it, so I started giving my coaches a oneon-one speech," Meyer recalled. "[Holtz] told me to shut up and sit down, and here's how to do it." From then on, it was Holtz' way or the By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer He entered the game with 13 minutes, 21 seconds remaining in the first half to the applause of a crowd 1,300 miles away from home. It took him just 22 seconds to pick up his first foul, but when he got a good look on offense, he spotted up. Craig Kilborn might have described it best. Release. Rotation. Splash. With the Rowdy Reptiles exploding to his right, David Huertas knew he had made it. A long journey that began off of Exit 33 in Humacao, Puerto Rico, was complete. "It felt great," Huertas said. "All the fans, all the people cheering for you. It was great. How many people? 8,000 people? It feels great." The actual attendance at the O'Connell Center for UF's 86-48 exhibition victory against Embry-Riddle Monday was 7,222, but the discrepancy didn't matter much.

Whether at Bowling Green, Utah or UF, Meyer has demanded his coaching staff teaches exactly the same high-andtight technique he learned back in South Bend, Ind., almost to the point of obsession. "I think every coach you play for is serious about taking care of the ball," UF tight end Tate Casey said. "But I've never seen anybody address it as much as him." But Meyer must be doing something right. Sporting a plus-13 turnover margin -No. 2 nationally -the Gators have lost just four honor of his hometown exit, had the benefit of learning from a professional player 'close to home. "Back in Puerto Rico, [my father] took me to every game with my mother," said Huertas of his dad, who played pro basketball in Puerto Rico. "When I moved to the USA, my mother had some problems; and they got divorced." Huertas moved to the United States before his junior year of high school and enrolled at Arlington Country Day in Jacksonville. He became an integral part of a powerhouse program that won its first 2A state title his senior year and finished the season ranked No. 7 in the nation by USA Today: In addition to his team's stellar success, Huertas also put up impressive numbers. He averaged 20 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists per game his senior year. He was even more of a standout as a junior, pouring in 21 points a game as he was named First Team All-State, in addition to Florida Class 2A Player of the Year honors. He also set an ACD record by knocking down 10 3-pointers in a single game. Despite all of his success on the hardwood, life wasn't easy for Huertas. He came to Florida knowing very little English, and his high school days were difficult.

"If you take care of the football, you have a chance to win." Simple as it may be, it's a philosophy that required an acclimation period for many playmakers. "When I was growing up, my main concern was about making plays," tailback Markus Manson said. "I wasn't concerned about how I held the ball." That's exactly why the redshirt freshman carried the ball a mere 12 times during UF's first five conference games this season.

Editor Bryan App Cover photo Andy Appicella Alligator, Friday, November 4, 2005 Cornerback overcomes stature for success By IAN FISHER Alligator Staff Writer ifisher@aIligator.org It could have been when his son was named a starter for his own Florida Gators. It could have been when he was named a captain, or even when he received the title of "The Face of Florida Football." Vernell Brown Sr. has a whole laundry list of times in his son's life to be proud of. His son has won basketball championships in high school, has made countless plays as a Gators' starting cornerback and has become a father. But one thing sticks out more than any of that to Vernell Brown Sr. On April 29, Vernell Sr. watched his oldest son become the first member of his immediate faroily to receive a college degree. "The thing I remember most is sitting there smiling with tears running down my eyes," Vernell Sr. said. "I actually saw a dream come true." The Dream. From the moment Vernell Brown Jr. started playing Pop Warner football, his father emphasized tha importance of a degree. Vernell Sr. and two of Verrl's uncles, Johnell Brown and Charlie Brown, all played football for their hometown Gators, but they fell short of graduating. Vernell Sr. said he was about 30 hours away from gArduation. Worn Vernell first started playing football, he and his father made a hst of three goals for hin a football scholarship to UFsuccess on the field and most importantly, a college degree. Vernrell Sr. stressed his son's education so much because he didn't want hhim to waste the opportunity as he had. Now, the Gators' starting cornerback has met all three goals and is currently in gradschool. He is the only Flayer on the team sitting on a degree. "It felt great to walk across that stage," Vernell said. "You get here and everythingseems like it's so far off, as far as a degree." 1 Vernell had to fightthrough quite a bit to get that degree. The Little Man Almost allofVernell's peaks and valleys in his tiae atUF werebecause of one thing--hisheight. Vernell has been constantly questioned, constantly doubted because of his stature. He stands at -foot-,he Gaors' short starter.

"All day long, I listened to those guys on ESPN talkig about how Tennessee, receivers were going to have a field day with the little man, with Vernell Brown," Vernell Sr. said.

Titm se Aligator sta Football granted him the opportunity, but Vernell Brown seized it, becoming the first member of his immediate family to receive a college degreee. Brown is the only UF player to have already graduated. -I bUULUtlIVLWIWi U ILLqILCwuc Defense rv sfor shutout By ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff Writer aabramsqn@aIligator.org Call it the sandwich game. It's like a piece of stale baloney squished between two pieces of gourmet French bread. Welcome to Vanderbilt week, the final Southeastern Conference home game of the season. Yes, at 4-4 and 2-3 mn the SEC, the Commodores are actually a much-improved squad from the usual bottom-dweller that always faces the Gators this time of year. But a week after UF defeated Georgia 1410, and a week before the Gators face Steve Spurrier's South Carolina Gamecocks for a chance to lead the SEC East, Saturday's game certainly doesn't have much luster. Since the Gators may not have much at stake in this one, the players are thinking about other things -like the number zero. "We would like to go out there and shut everyone out," said linebacker Brandon Siler. That's about all you're going to get this week, considering that all of the huzz surrounds the Gators defense. By cam, with three games reamhrhg hr the season, it's clear that UF's defense is the backbone of the team. The Gatoes' defense currently eaks fifth ic the catioc, while the offense, which had been expected to carry the team from the looks of the off-season, is No. 67 nationally. Playing a team like Vanderbilt could provide an deal opportunity for UF's offense tofinally pour on the points anl, delight the fans with an offensive outburst. Then again, this is the SEC, where a single touchdown often is enough for a victory' "[An offensive explosion] could happen this week, next week or FSU week," receiver Chad Jackson said. "You never know. It'll eventually happen, we just don't know when." Meyer reorganized the offense into a more traditional downfield attack against Georgia. When UF scored two touchdowns in the first 6 minutes, it looked like the perfect coaching move. 'Although the Gators didn't score again, the 14 points proved to be enoughfo hge cnferece win.orauecne Meyer said he will likely use the scaled-down offense against speedy defenses, while calling on options and trick plays against other teams. Vanderbilt is one of those other teams, and its coach, Bobby Johnson, isn't quite sure what to expect from UF's offense. "That's the trouble you have when you peepare Io Florida," Johnson said. "They can do hoth, and we hae to prepae fee both. "They're going to chose to go oe route oe another at may go half and hell, Idon't know. That puts a burden on us to make sure we get enough practice time against both versions of their offense. I'm sure we'll see examples of both." Post-Georgia, Gators critics at a loss for words Tisten. Listen closely, and you can hear the crickets in the Swamp. Wait, that's not it. Quiet down and listen. Hear that? It must be Urban Meyer snoring. "I'm sleeping a little bit [now]," Meyer said. Bizarre. Isn't this the same coach who couldn't catch one Z between the LSU and Georgia games? OK, so maybe he deserves a rest. Really, Urban -snooze away It's OK. For the first time all season, there is no season slipping away Fr the first time, there is no chatter about the spread offense not being able to score a touchdown against Pop Warner defenses. There is no more talk about josh Portis being the best thing since sliced cheese. Really, is there anything to bitch about? This doesn't. feel right. There must be something. Play Tate Casey .oh, wait after spending three weeks on the Tater Salad campaign trail, it finally looks like I've made a difference in his fife. Play Markus Manson .never mind. The Gators remembered they had a fast guy listed at tailback before the Georgia game. There's still no comment from the coaching staff on rumors that Manson has really been fast since two-a-days. Teach the O-line how to block .Blast! They've somehow learned how. See, there really is nothing to complain about, nothing to criticize. The sad thing is that it won't get any better on Saturday Instead of sophomoric Georgia fans drawing the ire of Gators fans, we'll have about 32 Vanderbilt fans, averaging 1590 on their SATs, who drove down to Gainesville to see what a college football player looks like in person. So what are you going to tell them? "Yea, you Commodore guys suck at life. You and your awesome Nashville and all that country music and all that Jack Daniels. Yea, I hope you guys get .i fired from your Charles Schwab jobs Anastasis and all that." ..i You can't make fun of Vanderbilt fans Louis in the Bullpen and go home with a guilt-free conscience. laatssamfatr.or lsgaalfeeacin ___________ _just consider the fact that they can't even curse back at you. Commodores coach Bobby Johnson enforces an anti-cussing policy with his players. As for Vandy students who swear? Johnson has been known to take away their SAT and their Calculus worksheets as punishment. The lack of negativity this week has gotten so out of hand that not even the message-board freaks know what to complain about. Here are some of the top threads on Gators message boards this week: Fan lashes out against Gator Nation for not voting often enough for Erica Raulerson, a UF cheerleader who is falling -behind in an Athlon Sports college cheerleader contest. Fan brags about buying a Gators shirt with the X-Men orange sleeve UF wore against Georgia. Fan cites vandalized BMW photo as proof for "why you wouldn't sleep with a psycho dude's ex-wife." Fan studiously points out a Georgia fan wearing jean shorts hr Sports Illustrated On Campus. And what would we do without the "Has anyone else seen the picture of Tommy Bowden's grown daughter buck nekkid? Looks pretty real" thread. Maybe Chris Hetland will miss a field goal Saturday and make this stop. the doubters ong every Saturday, thanks inpart to his father calling defensive coordinator Charlie Strong and convincing him to move Vernell back to defense. But around when he moved back to cornerback, Vernell received even better news from Emiliana Russell, his fiance. She was pregnant. The Little Girl On Nov. 15, 2004, Russell gave birth to Kendall Renee Brown. Vernell calls it by far the best moment of his life. "It felt good in a way just to know that there was something that I could give him that you really can't put a price on," said Emiliana, who works for the Department of Children and Families. When Vernell found out his baby was going to be a girl, he was so excited because he never had a sister and waanted a g1. "He called everybody," Emiliana said. Now, Vernell's days are even busier. He takes his daughter to day care in the morning and plays with her at night. "She lights up when she sees him, and she fusses when he leaves," Emiliana said LU WUY dU)0UL. f-et WdIIILb LV F.Ldy IIL Ule 1'4'1 UUL 11 LLLC doesn't work out, he has a backup plan -working with children. Being a youth counselor is his calling, he said. The NFL, however, would be so much better for the time being. Vernell can always become a youth counselor later in life. It would be a continuation of the football lineage in the Brown family. Vernell's younger brother, Vincent, is a junior at Gainesville High and also wants to play for UP. Football is a way of life in the Brown household. But Vernell Sr. isn't into the NFL, even though Vernell's mother, Valarie, loves it. "On Sundays, I can't sit and watch a whole NFL game, and she wants to sit there and watch football an day," Vernell Sr. said about his wife. "Often, I'll tell her 'Let's turn the TV to somethingelse,' and she gets an attitude because she wants to watch football all day." Vermell already had to turn Emiliana into a football fan; she hadn't attended a UF game before she met him. So why not tu hi dad on to the NFL? Eveecif that doesn'twork eat, theta's so machinate Vernell has accomplished to be proud of. "He such a little man doing such big things," Emiliana said, "so I'm really proud of him." Andy Aprcella Alligator Vernell Brown almost never had the opportunity to take part in the post-game singing of the UF alma mater, a blossoming tradition of the Coach Urban Meyer era. Due to his 5-foot-8 frame, Brown was overlooked by the staff of former Coach Ron Zook and considered transferring.

4, KIC OFF, ALLIGATOR S FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2005 HowThey Match Up VANDERBILT FLORIDA RUN vs. VANDERBILT RUN DEFENSE: Florida rushes for 1474 yards per game; Vanderbilt allows 152.1 yards rushing per game. KEY PLAYERS: UF: Jr. TB DeShawn Wynn (95 att-478 yds, 4.9 avg, 7 tds), Fr. TB Markus Manson (35 att-200 yds, 5.6 avg, 0 tds): VAN: Sr. LB Osemwegie (62 solo tcls, 84 total), So. LB Jonathan Goff (28 solo tckls, 40 total) ANALYSIS: Osemwegie may be one of the top linebackers in the nation, but he's just about Vandy's only threat to stop UF's tandem of Wynn and Manson. Both players stepped up last week and are now a viable and talented duo. ADVANTAGE: Florida FLORIDA PASS vs. VANDERBILT PASS DEFENSE: Florida passes for 220.5 yards pergame; Vanderbilt allows 240.6 yards passing per game. KEY PLAYERS: UF: Jr. QB Chris Leak (1,683 yds, 11 td-4 int, 60.3 pct, 132.7 rating), Jr. Chad Jackson (54 rec, 580 yds, 10.7 avg, 6 tds), Jr. Dallas Baker (37 rec, 480 yds, 13.0 avg, 2 tds); VAN: Sr. CB Andrew Pace (46 solo tckls, 52 total), Sr. SS Kelechi Ohanaja (30 solo tckls, 38 total) ANALYSIS: UF's receiving corp may still be ailing, especaJy if Baker isn't at 100 percent. But for the first time this year, the Gators utilized all their receiving weapons last week, including tight end Tate Casey. UF should be able to score a couple in the air. ADVANTAGE: Florida VANDERBILT RUN vs. FLORIDA RUN DEFENSE: Vanderbilt rushes for 130.0 yards per game; Florida allows 106.0 yards rushing pergame. KEY PLAYERS: VAN: Fr. TB Cassen Garrison (64 rsh-421 yds, 6.6 avg, 5 tds), So. RB Jeff Jennings (108 rsh, 365 yds, 3.4 yds, 6 tds); UF: So. LB Brandon Siler (23 solo tchls, 47 total), Jr. LB Earl Everett (23 solo tckls, 47 total)ANALYSIS: Vanderbilt's young tailback duo is solid, and QB Cutler is always a danger on the ground. UF's running defense, however, has given up little this season. Siler is nursing an injured ankle, which could possibly benefit Vandy. ADVANTAGE: Florida VANDERBILT PASS vs. FLORIDA PASS DEFENSE: Vanderbilt passes for 251.9 yards per game; Florida allows 1676 yards passing per game. -7 KEY PLAYERS: VAN: Sr. QB Jay Cutler (2,002 yds, 9 tds-7 ints, 56.8 pct, 115.2 rating), Fr. WR Earl Bennett (46 rec, 535 yds, 11.6 avg, td), Sr. WR Erik Davis (38 rec, 492 yds, 12.9 avg, 2 tds); UF: Sr. CB Vernell Brown (2 solo tckls, 34 total), Sr. SS Jarvis Herring (22 solo tckis, 33 total) ANALYSIS: The emergence of free safety Kyle Jackson has only bolstered UF's secondary, but Cutler is one of the best quarterbacks they'll face all season. But UF's pass defense has become one of the best in the nation, and Cutler likely doesn't have enough weapons to put up big numbers in this-game. ADVANTAGE: Florida SPECIAL TEAMS: 1 FLORIDA KEY PLAYERS: Jr. kicker Chris Hetland (-8 fgs, long 47), Jr. punter Eric Wilbur (43 punts, 41.7 avg, long 56) VAN: Fr. kicker Bryant Hahnfeldt (11-15 fgs, long 48), Fr. kick returner Cassen Garrison (13 rtrns, 19.6 avg) ANALYSIS: Wilbur continues to improve from the off-season, and Hetland still has yet to miss a-field goal. Vernel Brown's punt returns have been shaky this season, but he had his best performance against Georgia. Vanderbilt's top special teams are freshmen. ADVANTAGE: Florida --_ INTANGIBLES: Unless the unthinkable occurs and Vanderbilt pulls off a stunning upset, this is merely the game sandwiched between Georgia and the Steve Spurrier reunion. if (when) the Gators win this game, it will ai come down to next weekend. UF would have to defeat South Carolina and then wait a few hours to see if Auburn can pull off the upset against Georgia. Auburn's win would likely give the Gators a trip to the SEC title game.
