Student money pays for private pig roast


By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org

A pig bought with student
money was roasted at a tailgate
party held at a potential Student
Body presidential candidate's home
Saturday.
Spanish American Law Students
Association President Jared
Hernandez spent $137.50 on the pig
at the organization's annual roast
held near the Levin College of Law.


Hemandez's organization re-
quested about $375 from Student
Government for chairs, tables, soda,
chips, salsa, ice and the pig. Most of
the money was initially approved.
But Student Body Treasurer
Lindsay Cosimi said she dis-
covered Sunday the Activity &
Service Fee-funded pig was eaten
at Hernandez's private residence.
Cosimi approved the sponsoring of
the food but said she was unaware
of the location until after the party.
It is a violation of Student Body


Statutes to use A&S Fee-funded
expenditures at
a function hosted
in a private resi-
dence.
"It's clearly
against statutes,"
Cosimi said,
noting that the
Rules and Ethics
Hernandez Committee has
been informed and will investigate.
Cosimi said she told UF's General
Accounting Office on Monday to


cancel funding for the event, but the
$137.50 used for the pig was already
given to the organization.
Hernandez said he will pay back
every penny today.
"That was a mistake," said
Hernandez, a student senator
and UF law student. "I think that
[Cosimi's] done the right thing in
all this. I take full responsibility for
that. I should be held to a higher
standard."
Cosimi said the rules are printed
clearly in the finance manual and


provided to all student organiza-
tions when they go through finan-
cial training.
"Somebody that is so intimately
involved in SG it is their duty
to understand the rules," she said.
"It's explicitly written in black and
white."
However, Hernandez said the
organization's annual pig roast is
traditionally held at an off-campus
residence.

SFCC student Justin Rapp served for one year in Iraq during his first
tour of duty. He plans to return to serving in the military.


SFCC's veterans reflect

on time served in wars
By ALEXIS LLOYD
Alligator Writer

The darkness of night cloaked him while constant
sounds from gunfire filled his ears as Saddam Hussein's
government and Iraq fell to American forces in April 2003.
U.S. Army Pfc. Justin Rapp stood in Iraq with night vi-
sion goggles on his face and weapon by his side, vowing
repeatedly to go back to college.
Rapp now is an SFCC criminal justice sophomore.
"I attended college before I went in [the Army] and
didn't do too well, because I didn't have the character and
discipline I have now to actually go to school," he said.
Rapp describes himself as being "driven" toward his
education goal now.
"Once you have been in 'the suck,' everything now
is just great," he said. "I don't take anything for granted
anymore."
He chose SFCC after researching other schools because
it was highly accredited.
"The school here is very supportive of veterans," said
Rapp, who is the vice president of the SFCC Collegiate
Veterans Society.
Once Rapp finishes his associate's degree in Summer
2006, he plans on going back to the Army as an infantry
soldier.
SFCC has more than 350 student veterans attending
school this semester.
The college also is home to veteran professors.
English professor John Feiber served in the Fourth
Infantry Division during the Vietnam War from June 1968
to June 1969.
He enlisted in the Army after graduating from UF with
a journalism degree in 1967.

"That was nice family time," said UF
junior Erica Der.
-Since her first agricultural science

Since becoming one of six officers

She gets called at least five times
daily by eager media representatives
from Gainesville, her hometown of
Plant City and other surrounding areas
hoping for an interview, Der said.
Though the Fall semester has been

areas affected by Hurricane
Katrina.
"We really felt a need for the
winter trip because we had a lot
of people who wanted to help the
hurricane disaster relief," said
Rachel Manes, public relations
coordinator for the group. "So we
thought, 'Let's just get the people
out there.'"
Three trips are being organized
for Jan. 2 through Jan. 7, with 12
participants and two site leaders
on each excursion. The cost vhil
be about $150 per person.

Commissioners take


steps to ease traffic


By STEPHANIE RODRIGUEZ
Alligator Writer
srodriguez@alligator.org

A $39 million transportation
plan is in the works to relieve the
growing traffic congestion problem
in Gainesville.
A meeting was held Wednesday
morning by the Gainesville
Metropolitan Transportation-
Planning Organization to discuss a
20-year plan to improve roads and
traffic signals, among other things.
Marlie Sanderson, staff director
of MTPO, explained five priorities
they have to relieve traffic.
"We are expecting future traf-
fic congestion on the west side of
Gainesville," Sanderson said. "It's
going to be a slow process, but it
will be resolved."
MTPO's first priority is synchro-
nizing traffic signals throughout the
city. Sanderson said that alone will
improve traffic by 46 percent.
The second priority is to re-
direct traffic from State Road 24
to Southeast 16th Avenue. State
Road 24 includes linked sections
of Archer Road, 13th Street and
University Avenue.
Sanderson said semitrailer
trucks travel on Southwest Archer
Road, which leads to University
Avenue, and that county and city
commissioners want them off those
thoroughfares.
The Florida .Department of
Transportation said it will only
consider funding the project if
Southeast 16th Avenue is expanded
to a four-lane road, Sanderson said.
The third priority is to recon-
struct Southwest 20th Avenue by
adding medians, transit "super


stops," sidewalks and left-turn
lanes.
"This road will be designed so
that when a bus stops, you don't
need to stop, but rather just slow
down because the lane will -be
wider," Sanderson said.
The fourth priority is to add left-
turn lanes to Northwest 34th Street
at four to five locations.
"We are expecting future
traffic congestion on the
west side of Gainesville.
It's going to be a slow
process, but it will be
resolved."
Marlle Sanderson
MTPO staff director

The final priority is to recon-
struct Depot Avenue.
The project for Depot Avenue is
receiving special federal funds for
as much as $4.8 million, leaving an
estimated $11 million balance.
"We don't know where the rest
of the money is coming from,"
-Sanderson said.
City and county commissioners
presented other ideas to relieve traf-
fic congestion, such as a beltway, a
road surrounding the city.
However, commissioners turned
it down because it would attract de-
velopment outside the city.
Other ideas discussed were
road extensions for Radio Road
and Southwest 23rd Terrace, but
Sanderson it is doubtful those other
plans will be completed.
"They will probably not happen
because of the lack of funding,"
Sanderson said.


Hockey on and in water at UF


* UNDERWATER TEAM A
WORLDWIDE SPORT.

By MICHAEL HURCOMB
Alligator Contributing Writer

For a non-contact sport,
underwater hockey has its mo-
ments of brutality that a group
of UF students throw them-
selves into two nights a week.
"The only thing that keeps
you out of the water is an ear in-
fection," player Dalila Barragan
said.
The Underwater Hockey
Club started on campus Spring
2004; now more than .30 mem-
bers strong, the team is gear-
ing up for its first competition
of the year this weekend in
Charleston, S.C.
Unlike the football team
in nearby Ben Hill Griffin
Stadium, underwater hockey
in not a spectator sport. In fact,
on most nights, the only person
watching is 20-year-old life-
guard Aaron Jeckell.
"It looks like a feeding
frenzy; like a shark is attacking
them," Jeckell said. "From up
top, it looks like chaos."
Underwater, participants are
armed with a one-foot, wooden
stick shaped like a hook. The
stick is used to bat around a
puck as players push, shove
and lunge along the bottom of
the pool, midway between the
shallow and deep ends.
Gender and physique do not
matter with water acting as the
great equalizer.
"We have a 70-year-old man
who comes down from Canada
each year to play with us, and he
does just fine," 18-year-old club
President Mark Mullersman
said. "Some of the best players
in the world aren't in fit shape.
It's just everyone brings their
own aspect to the game."
Players wear masks, fins,
water polo headgear, a snorkel
and a gardening glove wrapped
in white tape. Mullersman said
the longest a player stays under-


water is 40 seconds.
Play starts with the puck
placed in the middle of the pool.
Two teams of six line up at each
end and wait for the screams of
"sticks up" and "go" to lunge
off the wall in a mad swim.
There are no goalies, and the
object is to slam the puck against
the opposing team's goal board.
Underwater hockey can be
traced back to England, circa
1954. Today, the sport is played
in more than 20 countries, in-
cluding Australia, France and
Japan.


Mullersman said the
International Olympic
Committee has toyed with
the idea of making the sport
an Olympic event but said it is
still far from being an NCAA-
sanctioned sport. He said only
a handful of colleges have
teams.
"The cool thing would be to
root for football or play normal
sports," Barragan said. "But
when you find something as dif-
ferent as this is and you develop
a skill for it, you ultimately de-
velop a love for it."

Speaker blames Clinton administration for 9/11


* GARY ALDRICH PLEADED
WITH STUDENTS FOR MORE
CONSERVATIVE VOICES.

By MIKE JAYNE
Alligator Contributing Writer

A disorganized Clinton adminis-
tration, composed largely of commu-
nist sympathizers and former drug
users, was the cause of a national
security breakdown that led to the


Sept. 11, 2001
attacks, said a 30-
year FBI veteran
S and former White
House insider.
"[Sept. 11]
can be put at
the foot of Bill
Aldrich Clinton and his
administration,"
said Gary Aldrich, founder of the
Patrick Henry Center and author
of "Unlimited Access: An FBI Agent


Inside the Clinton White House."
Aldrich said 25 percent of those
he investigated for White House
security clearances had a "serious
drug lifestyle" before coming to
Washington..
Aldrich spoke to about 75 stu-
dents in Turlington Hall about the
need for a stronger conservative
voice on campus. The UF College
Republicans hosted the speech.
He spent most of the hour-long
discussion offering anecdotes about


his time in the White House under
former presidents Bush and Clinton.
His Clinton impersonations gar-
nered giggles from the audience.
Aldrich told the crowd he trans-
ferred to Washington, D.C. to fight
organized crime, but investigations
of Washington officials led him to
wonder if politics itself was a form
of organized crime.
The majority of cases he inves-
tigated for political corruption in-
volved Democrats, Aldrich said. He


found links between radical political
groups of the 1960s and the current
Democratic Party leadership.
After the speech, College
Republicans Chairwoman Ashlee
Black said she wanted people to
"open their eyes."
Aldrich urged students to stand
up to liberal bias on campus.,
"These college campuses are
safe havens for people to say 'I'm
a Marxist and if you don't like it
you're the devil,'" he said.


Eyes turn skyward for rare Mars viewing window


By VANESSA GARCIA
Alligator Contributing Writer

The Alachua Astronomy Club invites all
earthlings to catch a free viewing of the red
planet Saturday night as it reaches its closest
approach to Earth until 2018.
This rare Mars viewing will take place from
7 to 11 p.m. at the Powell Hall Education and
Exhibition Center of the Florida Museum of
Natural History.


Founding member of the astronomy club,
Howard Cohen, said he expects hundreds
of people.of all ages to attend the event. Up
to 10 different types of telescopes, owned by
members of the club, will be available for
public use.
At its closest point, the planet will be about
43 million miles away from the center of the
earth, according to NASA.
Mars came even closer in 2003, but the
view will be clearer this time around. The lo-


cal weekend forecast of clear skies promises
a crisp telescope view of the planet's surface,
Cohen-said.
Visitors have a chance to view
Student the dark bands surrounding the
Life planet that were once thought to
be vegetation that could support
life on Mars. Observers can also see an icy-
blue collection of clouds, nicknamed "Purple
Haze," that hovers over the planet's northern
pole, he said.


The event will begin with a presentation
about various spacecraft missions-to Mars. A
continuous computer presentation projected
on the outside of the building will demon-
strate how to use telescopes to observe Mars,
the moon and other celestial bodies.
Cohen urges people not to miss this unprec-
edented glimpse into the celestial heavens.
"This is as large as Mars ever gets," Cohen
said. "It's thrilling to see with your own
eyes."


Senator to pay back funds


SG, from page 1


Student Senate President
John Boyles attended the roast
and said about 35 attended the
party, which had a keg.
"It was just a typical bar-
becue in my mind," he said.
Boyles added he did not
know the pig was purchased
with A&S
Student .. money.
Government Cosimi
said it is
impossible for student money
to be used for alcohol because
receipts are required to release
money for food purchases.
Hemandez would not
comment on whether or not
identification was checked
before entrants were allowed
to consume alcohol at what he
called a "private party'"


Hernandez said he wasn't
positive where the organiza-
tion would hold the pig roast
when officers first requested
funding in October.
However, Susan Henriques,
a student assistant in the SG
Finance Office, said Hemandez
told Senate about two weeks
before the event that it was to
be held at hishome. Henriques
added it's widely known in SG
circles that Hemandez is run-
ning for president next term.
"The treasurer should have
caught that," Henriques said,
noting that it's up to Cosimi to
accept a money request with-
out a listed location.
Cosimi said it is impossible
for her to catch every student
organization that tries to find a
loophole in its budget.
"The system's flawed," she
said. "We do rely on the hon-
esty of the organization."


Student will travel to promote agriculture programs

education, the FFA and the agriculture industry," she
said.
Along with an $8,000 scholarship, the program will
also send Der and the other officers to Japan for 10 days
to observe how agriculture is practiced internationally.
She said she looks forward to her first overseas trip
in February, but not because of the foreign cuisine.
"I'm not a big sushi fan," she said with a laugh. "It's
all nasty to me."
Unfortunately for Der, the trip is the same time of
year that Plant City bears its fruit, earning its title as the
winter strawberry capital of the world.
This will be the first time in 10 years that Der won't
be able to participate in the annual Florida Strawberry





'77


Festival as an ambassador for the Florida Strawberry
Growers Association.
Der grew up around livestock. Her parents own a
-feed and farm supply business, and her grandparents,
who live next door, harvest citrus fruit.
"I kind of grew up in agriculture," she said.
Her father, a former member of the Future Farmers
of America, used to help Der and her younger sister
when they had livestock-rearing assignments.
"Our projects have always been more like pets," she
said.
'Now that she's away from her tight-knit household,
she said she misses some of her best friends from home:
Lyle and Phil, the family's pigs.
"They have such a personality," Der said. "You have
to watch them because they can get out of their p6n.
They're tricky creatures."


War a learning experience

VETERANS, from page 1

"It was a very turbulent time, and Vietnam was a very un-
popular war," Feiber said. "I use some of my military experiences
to talk about current issues in my literature classes.
"With the situation in Iraq, I use those experiences to illustrate
some of what is going on over there, but I don't try to preach
about it though," he said.
The hardship of war gives veterans a different perspective
that serves as a benefit for student veterans, Feiber said.
"I think that you become who you are after taking part in a
war," Feiber said. "There are certain strengths [veteran students]
have that other [students] may not have," he said.
There are about 25 million veterans in the United States.
At the 2005 Veterans Day proclamation on Nov. 2, President
George Bush stated, "Americans owe a great debt of gratitude to
those who have sacrificed for our liberty and for the security of
our nation. We express deep appreciation to our veterans the
men and women who stepped forward when America needed
them, triumphed over brutal enemies, liberated continents and
answered the prayers of millions around the globe."
Feiber said he uses Veterans Day as a time for reflection.
"It is a time for me to reflect on my military service and to
focus on all soldiers in U.S. history who paid the ultimate price
or those who will have to," he said. "It is a time to single out the
veterans for what they have done for their country.".. -


Erica Der, elected as National Future Farmers of America Southern Region Vice President, will take a
year off from UF to travel around the country and to Japan with other members of the organization.

Editorial
Classes are canceled Friday for a holiday most UF
students know nothing about.
Without any statistics on the matter, we're bet-
ting the majority of students will use the extra time for keg
stands and football preparation.
But the Editorial Board isn't going to set anyone
straight, partly because that would entail looking up
Veterans Day on the Internet.
Instead, we're going to launch into something much
more fun and much less honorable.
With all the political chaos and academic slavery going
on in our world, we thought our peers would rather laugh
at the stupidity of others than scream at the nonsense.
So sink into a chair, grab some popcorn and kick off
your shoes for this week's edition of...



Darts & Laurels

The Editorial Board is a fan of animals. We like to pet
them, feed them and eat them. But animal activism some-
times gets a little out of hand.
So we throw an extreme-animal-loving-has-no-place-
in-legislation DART at Rome's city council for approving
a 59-point statute ordering better treatment for pets.
Among the new laws, which went into effect
Wednesday, are stipulations that goldfish are entitled to a
full-sized aquarium and that dogs must be walked at least
once a day.
Cat ladies (those who feed many strays) will also be of-
ficially recognized.
Apparently, small fish bowls confine goldfish to lives of
swimming in circles. We suppose bigger aquariums mean
they can swim in bigger circles.
The best part of the entire story is how much praise the
animal-rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals, is giving officials.
Do any of these people expect to be taken seriously?
Aside from the obvious ridiculousness of the entire
scenario, many critics are asserting the laws will be un-
enforceable. We doubt Roman police will search door-to-
door for dog-walking perpetrators.
But we're happy to report Gainesville has no such soft
spot for animals.
We hand an every-so-often-poultry-needs-a-kick-in-
the-butt LAUREL to UF student Cornelius Edward Regan
Jr., who, according to University Police reports, killed a
rooster and injured a hen when he shot at them with a rifle
pellet gun.
He said he was tired of the noise the chickens made in
the morning.
We don't know what chickens were doing in the back-
yard of a fraternity house, but we do know that they
needed to be given a lesson in manners.
If Regan hadn't courageously acted in time, Gainesville
would soon be overrun with rebellious poultry.
Moving away from our animal-rights theme and on
to the affairs of our fellow brethren, we softly throw a
Bo-Diddley-concerts-don't-count-as-homeless-experi-
ences DART to the homeless imposters who slept in the
Downtown Community Plaza on Wednesday night.
You're riot homeless. You're taking up space. And you'll
be eating food that could have gone to the homeless when
you eat Breakfast on the Plaza.
On the other hand, we think you're great for donating
tents and sleeping bags to the cause. So we come back and
hand a giving-stuff-to-the-less-fortunate-is-always-wel-
come LAUREL to the charitable homeless imposters.
We're just of the opinion that we're all aware of homeless-
ness, and watching free entertainment isn't going to make us
more aware. It's like Gainesville's version of Live 8.
Can't we just all donate to the cause without having to
get something in return?

Clinging to loophc
irst, let's get one thing straight: I support the pro-
posed ban on torture and inhumane treatment of.
prisoners in U.S. custody that's making its way
through Congress.
However, I don't think the ban will have much effect on
the actual treatment of detainees because torture and mis-
treatment are obviously not an official policy of the United
States.
They do take place, of course, but they happen in secret.
And if someone's hiding the fact that they do something, it
means they already know- it's something they aren't sup-
posed to be doing.
When reports of mistreatment proliferate in the news as
they have of late, they begin to seem the rule, rather than the
exception.
The U.S. government, to put it bluntly, has earned a
worldwide reputation of disdain for the basic human rights
of those not lucky enough to be American themselves.
The ban, then, is a good first step, in that it sends out a
clear statement that our government finds those actions as
repulsive as the rest of the world does.
That being said, I think the way the ban has been handled
by its proponents is just another example of U.S. politicians'
willingness to exploit any loophole in the law in order to get
their way.
Sen. John McCain said he and other sponsors of the ban
would make sure it is added to all major Senate legislation
until it is passed.
They certainly have the power to do so. Because of the
way Congress works, legislation on any issue can be ap-
pended to bills addressing any other issue, regardless of how
different they may be.
Once the two disparate pieces of legislation are combined,
however, they are inseparable until the bill is either passed
or defeated. If one is found to be unacceptable, the other is
condemned with it.
Thus, if President Bush vetoes a bill in order to kill the


ALLIGATOR
www.alligator.org/opinions


les won't help bill
ban, the original legislation dies as
well.
If this occurs over and over as
could happen, if the ban's propo-
nents are as committed as they say
numerous pieces of important
legislation would have to make their
Matt Sanchez way through Congress multiple
In Moderation times.
msanchez@alligator.org This process incurs significant
costs. Each additional time a piece
of legislation must pass through
Congress, it costs taxpayers more money.
Even worse, this practice brings with it the possibility
that a piece of time-sensitive legislation could be defeated,
allowing a problem to go unsolved just so this ban could
have another shot.
The ban absolutely should be passed. Shame on President
Bush for even considering a veto.
In truth, though, I believe the ban ultimately will be
passed with a minimum of fuss.
I can't imagine the Bush administration being able to hold
off for long, regardless of how strongly it feels. Continued
resistance would be too damaging to its image and, more
importantly, to America's.
Proponents should therefore let the ban through normal
channels and consider a more responsible form of corrective
action if it fails.
If the Bush administration is able to continue to stall a bill
as well supported as proponents claim it to be, this indicates
a fundamental problem in the system that we should address
directly.
It's time we try to work for real change, rather than cling-
ing to loopholes like kindergarteners arguing the rules of a
newly made game.

Letters to the Editor
Football column was misunderstood
All who mistook Tripp Miller's Tuesday
column calm down.
He wasn't saying that it is your duty to
go to football games. He's saying that if you
attend the game (any game for that matter),
stay for its entirety. He directed it especially
at those who left early from Saturday's game,
most likely because they felt the team was go-
ing to lose. How would you feel if you were
playing in a sport and all your family and
friends walked out because you struck out,
fumbled or fouled?
Some of the members of the football team
probably felt disparaged upon seeing their
so-called fans leaving the stadium, and some
probably played even harder because it upset
them that they'd lost hope. It's a horrible feel-
ing to know you're trying your hardest, and
just because you. happen to be down for the
moment, your fans feel as though there is no
hope for you.
Don't get it wrong, for I am by no means
a football fan. I. can just understand his point
of view.
M.J. Angrand
UF Alumna



French poor don't have important rights
My letter is in response to that of Christina
O'Neill in Wednesday's Alligator. You're right!
Poverty does not give anyone the right to take
the wealth of another. However, wealth does
not give anyone the right to oppress and take
advantage of the poor.
You claim that jobs were created by those
who knew their only true entitlement is "the
full use of their reason in order to acquire what
they want and need, so long as they do not in-
fringe upon this same right in any other man."
Do the impoverished immigrants of France
have the option to use the full extent of their
reason for their own benefit? Are they just lazy
and unreasonable, or is it that the one entitle-


ment you claim every man should have is the
one entitlement they have been deprived of?
These people cannot simply choose to use
their faculties of reason for their gain because
they are oppressed by a system that discrimi-
nates against them. Their ability to satisfy
their needs has been infringed upon for. the
satisfaction and benefit of others who might
be where they are today, not just because of
their ingenuity and reason, but because of
the special preference they have historically
enjoyed as well. -
The plight of the disadvantaged.in France
has been neglected for too long, and while vio-
lence is never the answer, we are witnessing
a situation best explained by Martin Luther
King Jr., who said, "A riot is at bottom the
language of the unheard." The evil here is not
the people themselves but a world with such
disparity in quality of life and opportunity
that the destitute lash out in despair.

Gator attendance influences outcome
Attention Ilycia Schwartz (and all of your
"left-early" friends, too): Tripp Miller was not
referring to ALL UF students.
Not even half of the student body buys stu-
dent tickets.-Miller was simply expressing his
disdain for those who do not live up to their
end of the deal.
This is a textbook example of an opportu-
nity cost situation. Why go to the game at all
if you are going to leave early when someone
else (who would stay the entire game) could
have your seat aiding in bringing our team
a victory?
The real question here is who are you,
Ilycia Schwartz? If you knew anything about
sports, you would know football is a sport in
which spectators can directly influence the
outcome of a game. The same cannot be said
for the sports you listed. In fact, the Ian base


can be such an influence that there is a thing
called "home-field advantage."
Due to a few mediocre seasons, and other
people like you, the Swamp is in the process
of being "taken back" by the Gators. Coach
Urban Meyer has even publicly asked for the
student body's help in this process.
The point of Miller's letter was to inform
students that they are taking a privilege for
granted. Watching the illustrious Gators play
is the experience of a lifetime.
Go Gators!
Ryan D. Mcintyre

A modest proposal for early departures
Tripp Miller's article on Gators fans leave
football games early was nearly perfect in its
indictment. My only qualm comes from the
fact that he did not emphasize the malignant
danger these early exiting deviants place on
the very thread that binds us to the Gator
Nation. The audacity found in those who ca-
priciously choose to leave for recreational and
scholarly pursuit in place of big hits and end
zone dances threatens to undermine the very
reason we 'are attending this fine academic
institute: FOOTBALL!
I, for one, propose the use of mandatory
Monday-morning exam sessions that would
allow professors to depart from their tiresome,
boring, ultimately useless lectures and instead
question students on final scores, passing
yards and other facts that will ensure the
production of dynamic members of the Gator
Nation.
In the meantime, perhaps scholarship
funds could be diverted slightly to ensure the
-presence of armed guards around all stadium
exits as extra insurance against these subver-
sive so-called "fans."

Judical bias may be a problem locally
The Alligator is to be congratulated on
its perceptive editorial Tuesday about the
potential harm to this community by ju-
dicial bias. The Eighth Judicial Circuit Bar
Association Bench/Bar Committee is being
asked to consider related issues at its public
session on the fourth floor at the Family and
Civil Justice Center at 1:30 p.m. Nov. 18.
Dean Robert Jerry, still new to the UF
Levin College of Law, also may consider the
potential conflict of interest when members
of the local judiciary are asked to teach trial
skills to law students who soon will appear
before them as counsel in civil and criminal
actions. Conflicts of interest here are partic-
ularly great because of ties between Florida
Blue Key and politicians at all levels.
Certainly such potential bias apparently
was ignored when a local judge connected
to the university denied a petition filed for
Charles Grapski, who successfully sued FBK
several years ago. Grapski has been seeking
access to e-mails allegedly in the custody or
control of UF President Bernie Machen. The
decision may have been proper but doubt
is cast when the deciding jurist has special
loyalty to the university.
Such tarnish on the appearance of justice
is especially worrisome in this area, for rea-
sons not addressed in the editorial. All but
one of the Alachua County Circuit Court
judges are white. Those claiming discrimi-
nation rightly may believe their complaints
are falling on deaf earg or, worse, that the
area bench has endowed the school.
Thanks again for your insight on what
it takes to let the public know the signifi-
cant local threat to an independent judicial
system if judges do not disclose affiliations
with potential conflicts of interest, especially
in legal actions brought here against the
university. -

find everyday


inspiration
By GABRIELLA A. VIGIER
Avenue Writer

Ordinary doesn't have to be a bad thing, in fact,
some would even call it art.
The WARPhaus Art Gallery, 818 NW First
Ave., will hold a free opening reception for the
"Everyday" exhibit from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday.
A collection of sculptures, ceramics, photogra-
phy, video and paintings give dynamic depictions
-of what the artists consider to be everyday life.
The nine artists involved, who will attend the
opening reception, are: Wesley Berg, Kyle White,
Lisa Iglesias, Jeremy Mikolajczak, Leonard Trubia,.
Matt Grady, Conner McKissack and Joy Drury
Cox.
Cox, a photography student at UF, said the
world around her was an inspiration for the art.
_"A lot of us were making art that dealt with the
everyday a questioning of our surroundings,"
she said; "For some of us, it is through art-making
that we offer other possibilities and alternatives to
the things we experience daily."
But daily objects aren't the only things the art-
ists use to express themselves.
"While some of the works in the show deal with
objects that we encounter on a daily basis, others
deal with notions of time and experiences that rou-
tinely occur," Cox said.
The gallery is run by a different graduate stu-
dent in the UF fine arts program each year and
receives its ideas for exhibits from community
sources.
"It's just an opportunity from students, both
graduate and undergrad, to send proposals, but it's
not limited to UF students," said Kendal Johnson,
a 23-year-old graduate student in the UF arts pro-
gram and coordinator of the "Everyday" exhibit.
The gallery is open for student proposals from
both UF and SFCC, as well as to all local artists.
The WARPhaus Gallery offers not only a forum
for artists to express themselves, but opportunities
to practice their artistic skills and studies adjacent
to UF.
UF art professors Bethany Taylor and Sean
Miller are in charge of the gallery, which is not
affiliated with the university but gets most of its
resources from there.
The gallery offers classes, workshops and
research for individuals to practice their work,
Johnson said.
The gallery is also accepting proposals for its
Spring 2006 exhibition.

Comic begins long, dusty road


Comic books are a medium
laden with genre conventions
and stereotypes, bursting at
the seams with superheroes.
That's why writers like Brian
Azzarello are so vital to the indus-
try. And it's also why "Loveless" is
a must-read.
Years ago, Azzarello reinvented
the crime genre for
comics with Eduardo
Risso and called it "100
Bullets." It's still going
strong.
Now, Azzarello has
taken the reins of what he's dubbed
a "noir spaghetti western" and cre-
ated "Loveless."
It sounds like an oxymoron,
but with Azzarello teaming up
with Marcelo- Frusin again, his
"Hellblazer" collaborator, it's
bound to work.
Just take apeek at issue No. 1,
which hit shelves Oct. 26, a bargain


at40 pages for $2.99.
Set several years after the end
of the Civil War, it's the story of
Wes Cutter, a former Confederate
soldier, a man who escaped from
a prison camp. A man everyone
thought was dead.
The end of the first issue reveals
the only person Cutter has to count
on is his wife,
Karolena who up until
Beleecki that point was
Get Graphic a mysterious
theavenue@alligator.org stranger who
rode along-
side him.
After reclaiming their home and
land from Union soldiers, these
two outlaws are going to have
to figure out how to live in the
"peace" after the war.
So, it's one of those books that
you find yourself rooting for the
bad guy in a world full of, well,
worse guys.


In issue No. 2, on sale Nov. 23,
Cutter's going to find that some of
those "worse guys" he ran off his
property are coming back for his
blood.
We'll also learn a little bit about
the skeletons in his wife, Ruth's,
closet.
"Loveless" isn't a miniseries; it's
got a long, dusty road ahead of it.
Azzarello does have an ending in
mind, but it's a few years down the
road.
A warning: Azzarello takes the
opportunity to really utilize the
time period.
He doesn't beat around the bush
at all with race relations, the state
of unrest in the United States or
violence.
"Loveless" is gritty and gun-
slinging, and though Azzarello
uses the "n-word," it seems histori-
cally appropriate.
Giddy up.

The Joggers' sophomore album good, not great


The Joggers
With a Cape and a
Cane
Star Time


The Joggers come
from Portland, and as impressive as
their second album can be at times,
you can't help but feel that they're
destined to be lost in the glut of
Northwestern indie rock bands.
The Joggers take the Q and Not U
route of slightly angular post-punk,
and they're dearly good at what they
do. Vocalist Benjamin Whitesides
recalls Cursive's Tim Kasher, minus
the angst. The comparison resonates


further on the second track, "We've
Been Talked Down," which has the
dark, brooding quality of something
from the Omaha band's "The Ugly
Organ."
Jake Morris' drumming keeps
things interesting, and the band
shoots for a catchy dance floor hit on
"Wicked Light Sleeper."
Somehow, though, they never
quite hit the target .dead-on, leaving
the listenerwith a record of well-writ-
ten songs that are ultimately difficult
to remember. Whitesides' nonchalant
vocals, too, begin to grate a little by
the album's end. A good indie rock
record, but not an essential one.


Bonk
"Western Soul"
Racing Junior

It's hard to know
what to make of
Bonk. From the album's cover,
a photo of the Norwegian duo
looking disheveled and shirtless,
you might expect some kind of
down-tempo electronic. Then you
listen to the bass rolling ominously
over spoken-word samples on the
opening track, and you start to
anticipate yet another disco/post-
punk fusion. One minute in the


guitars arrive, and you realize that
Bonk plays hard-and-fast rock 'n'
roll. And they play it loud.
That guitar sound grazes a little
too close to nu-metal for comfort,
but thankfully Bonk likes to rock
out in a different way oA each of
their two-minute blasts. From one
track to the next, they replicate
nothing except the volume level.
Fans of early-90s post-hardcore
will appreciate "Sara," while "Ni
Hao Mama" is introduced with
a riff Black Sabbath wduld have
been proud of, and the blues-rock
of "Wasted Love" is fueled with


an energy Jack White could never
hope to match.
"Western Soul" blows by in less
than half an hour and is all the bet-
ter for it, for the quick play time
enables them to keep everything
short, sweet and fresh. Don't come
looking for anything remotely ce-
rebral, but if you're a rock fan of
the old school turned off by the
depressing, self-important excuses
for metal and hardcore populating
the airwaves, Bonk is definitely
worthy of your time.

Local band draws inspiration from criminally insane


By VERA HADZI-ANTICH
Avenue writer

Local band Pet Monument's main inspira-
tion tends to be craziness. Jon Waller, guitar/
vocals for the band, works with criminally in-
sane people. He has a psychology degree from
UF and works for the state of Florida.
"I'm not allowed to bring CDs into my
work," Waller said. "CDs are considered

Artfest attendance up


By BOBBY KEITH
and SHARILYN WISKUP
Avenue Contributing Writers

Gator football isn't Gainesville's
only weekend event to enjoy a hike
in its rankings this year.
The Division of Cultural Affairs'
24th annual Downtown Festival
and Art Show moved up to 81st
place from last year's 85th in the
200 best art festivals in the United
States, according to Sunshine Artist
magazine.
Sunshine Artist employee Angel
Ross said the best-of list is narrowed
down from about 10,000.
The decision is made by input
from festival artists and craftsmen
throughout the country who send
in a ballot that lists their best-selling
shows from the year.
The festival will be held down-
town Saturday and Sunday from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m.
"Twelve years ago, we had 170
booth spots and only 150 artists
applied,' said Linda Piper, the
events coordinator for the City of
Gainesville's division of cultural
affairs.
This year, about 600 artists ap-
plied for the 250 booths to be erected
on the blocked-off streets between
the Hippodrome and city hall,
Piper said.
"It is a competitive process that
begins in the summer and we only
take the best," Piper said.
While the artists in attendance
will be from all over the nation,
Florida artists who applied to the
festival were given preference over
out-of-state artists. Gainesville art-
ists had the best chance of getting
abooth.
But local or not, diverse forms of
art will be for sale this weekend for
all types of art lovers and buyers.
Vendors will sell everything from
original oil and watercolor paintings
to decorative ceramics, sculptures,
jewelry and photographs.
The prospect of creative gift may
be part of Artfest's success.
'I think it is so successful because
during this time of year, people
like to start their holiday shopping
early," saidCecily McLeod, UFlaw


student and returning festival vol-
unteer.
Each individual artist will com-
pete for $14,000 in cash prizes and
$4,000 in purchase awards, Piper
said.
But before the first painting or
necklace is sold Saturday morning,
the festival will have already kicked
off its musical events.
The festival will host live jazz and
blues concerts Friday and Saturday
night.
Friday night's blues concert be-
gins at 7 with local band Terraplane
before Beautiful Bobby Blackmon
hits the stage, followed by Delta
Moon.
The jazz festival starts, at 6
p.m. Saturday with Gainesville's
Mindwalk, followed by saxophon-
ist Eric Darius, returning from last
year's show, and then Pieces of a
eam will plug in at about 9:30
p.m.
In addition to finding unique
items and listening to music, stu-
dents can sample barbecued ribs,
turkey legs, gyros, blooming' onions,
sausages and strawberry short-
cakes.
Some say glimpsing through
artist's creations and listening to
harmonic musician's tunes makes
students feel like part of a diverse
Gainesville culture.
"This is a completely different
side of a college town that a lot of
people don't get to see," said Katie
evy, UP freshman and Gainesville
resident who has attended the festi-
val in past years.
But the most impressive part of
. Gainesville's downtown festival is
that the city didn't spend a penny to
make it happen, Piper said.
It's funded entirely through fees
from participants and contributions
from private sponsors.
Most other festivals of this caliber
charge admission, but the down-
town festival's 120,000 expected
patrons will get in free.

Former 'Daily Show' star aims to overexpose himself


Courtesy Photo
Steve Carell on the set of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart."
His new cynical sitcom airs Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. on NBC.


By KEVIN MAHADEO
Avenue Writer

Steve Carell wanted to be a law-
yer but persued his dream to be a
40-year-old virgin.
Carell was in the process of fill-
ing out applications for law school
when he realized he would rather
pursue his acting hobby.
Twenty years later, Carell has
become one of the biggest stars in
comedic entertainment.
Carell's career "began" with a
local McDonald's commercial in
which he played a three-armed man
eating a triple cheeseburger.
"I thought to myself, 'This is it.
I'm a complete and utter success,'"
Carell joked during a Nov. 3 confer-
ence-call interview.
"There was no way I could
achieve a higher goal,, and frankly,
it was all downhill from there."
In truth, Carell actually came to
fame with "The Daily Show with
Jon Stewart."
There, he served as one of the
fake-news reporters and participat-
ed in the "Even Stevens" segment
with former colleague Stephen
Colbert. Carell said he has nothing
but the utmost respect for Stewart
and Colbert.


"Just to be mentioned in the
same sentence as those guys it
sounds very much a cliche is re-
ally an honor."
Carell has starred in a number
of popular roles, skyrocketing him
to superstardom. His recent en-
deavors include "Anchorman: The
Legend of Ron Burgundy," the tele-
vision series "The Office" and "The
40-Year-Old Virgin," which Carell
co-wrote.
"I've sort of taken whatever job
I've been given," Carell said.
"Aside from appearing in por-
nography, I've pretty much done
anything that's been handed to
me."
Carell said his favorite charac-
ter to date is Brick Tamland from
"Anchorman," who he relates most
to because, like Brick; he is a fairly
oblivious person himself.
"Brick is the Minotaur. He's sort
of half-man/half-beast," Carell
said.
"I think Brick is mostly beast,
and partly man...," he said.
"Anchorman" gave Carell a
chance to expose his comedic
talents; many of his scenes were
not scripted, and Carell ad-libbed
them.
The entire exchange between


Carell's character and Christina
Applegate's concerning the "party
in his pants" was made up on the
spot.
"Adam McKay would say, 'You
know what Steve? At the end of
this scene, just say anything.' It was
a huge amount of freedom to say
anything, and it didn't have to ap-
ply," he said.
Over the next two years, Carell
is signed on to star in eight differ-
ent movies including a sequel
to "Bruce Almighty" titled "Evan
Almighty."
With so much going on, it may
seem as though his career has
reached its peak. -
"My goal is to be completely
overexposed," Carell said. "In the
next nine months, I'm going to take
as much in as possible.
Then I'm going to disappear in a
fiery wreck of a career."
Carell said he gets sick of himself
as much as anyone else, but he re-
ally isn't too worried about being
overexposed.
"I just try to do things I find
interesting or funny, with people
I respect or'find funny, or both,"
Carell said.
"I just want to have fun with
what I'm doing."

Talent jam expands


By DONNA MITRANI
Avenue Conrrinrb.ng Writer

What started out in 1993 as a
small, four-act talent show with an
audience of 75 has morphed into
one of Gainesville's hottest annual
events with an estimated audience
of 1,400.
Def Talent Jam 13: "Jump, Jive 'n'
Wail" is taking place Friday through
Sunday.
Def Talent Jam is a 10-act talent
competition featur- "You don't

cal performances. plus the chick
The weekend event Mark
is one of the most Def Talent Ja
anticipated in the
southeastern Filipino
student community.
This year, dance groups from
Filipino Student Association chap-
ters at several universities in Florida
and Georgia will compete for prizes
from $250 to $1,000.
The talent competition will start
at 7:15 p.m. Saturday at The Venue.
Admission is $13 before 9 p.m. and
$15 afterward.
UF's Filipino Student Association
chapter hosts the event every year in
Gainesville. Despite not being al-
lowed to compete because it is the
host, Berdin said UF does not intend
to forfeit the honor.
"This is our baby," said coordina-
tor Mark Berdin, 20.
Berdin, the chapter's vice presi-
dent of internal affairs, has been
planning the event since Summer
with chapter president Daniel
Doromal, 22.

Berdin took on the position be-
cause he wanted a challenge in his
life, he said.
"You don't want your college
years to be boring," he said. "And
plus the chicks dig it."
He first heard people rave about
Def Talent Jam while in high school.
"It's been big for a long time,"
Berdin said. "It's weird; I came to
UF and now I'm the coordinator for
Def Talent Jam. Who would have

lerdin bers have created

addition to the offi-
cial Web site, includ-
ing a Xanga page, MySpace.com
page and Facebook.com groups,
including the 119-member
"[Expletive] School! I Wanna Go To
Def Talent Jam 13!"
Although UF's chapter is not al-
lowed to compete, exhibition groups
from the university can perform.
To kick off the festivities, there
will be a seven-on-seven football
competition called Adobowl on
Friday. For the first time, the event
will also feature a basketball tourna-
ment. *
Berdin said he decided to add the
tournament because of the heavy
role basketball plays in Filipino
culture.
"Basketball is a very big part
of the Philippines," Berdin said.

the weekend's events is on Def

Mohawk, accomplice return


By CHRISTINE STEFFENS
Fashion a Go-Go

With a mohawk here and
a fauxhawk there, here a mo,
there a faux, everywhere a
mo-faux.
So, when did the mohawk
come back in style?
It appears this hair-raising
(ha!) spectacle is re-emerging
in Hollywood, in profession-
al sports and on campus.
"It's rebellious, going
against society's norms,"
said Jessica Gordon, 24. "And
that's hot."
You've got that right,
sister.
This hairstyle pulled a Rip
Van Winkle, falling asleep
in the '80s only to wake
up 20 years later along
with old comrades like the
"Flashdance" T-shirt and
Chuck Taylors as if it
never left.
But now the mohawk is
also paired with 21st century
digital toys like cell phones
and iPods, reinventing main-
stream nonconformity.
Move over mullet; it's
time for a slick new 'do.
Take a look around, you'll
see what I'm talking about.


And your Fashion a Go-Go
doesn't lie.
Jeff Peel, 18, rows crew.
He also sports a mohawk. A
few other teammates razed
their locks in competitive
vigor, for the sake of tradi-
tion.
"It's cool... It makes us
more aerodynamic," said
crewmate Danny Reach, 18.
Well, go Gators.
But what superstar hair-
cut is complete without a
sidekick?
Ah yes, the '80s are memo-
rable as a decade of radical
sitcom sidekicks.
Let's see, there were
Crockett and Tubbs, Magnum
and Higgins, and lest we for-
get, the originator of prime-
time mohawk fashion, Mr. T
(also known as B.A. Baracus)
and the A-Team.
The mohawk too has a
sidekick: the fauxhawk.
The fauxhawk is a pret-
tier version-of the mohawk,
seen on some of the prettiest
celebrity faces, including soc-
cer star David Beckham and
Brandon Flowers from The
Killers.
The fauxhawk difference
is that instead of shaving


both sides of the head, the
wearer keeps the hair long
and spikes it all toward the
center scalp producing a
less obvious spike than its
cohort.
This is a more sleek and
metro-sexual look, but the
imitation loses its edge.
I pity the fool who wears a
fauxhawk.
So, if you can't sport a
mohawk, then be a mohawk
supporter.

Hardened critic softens words


S0 A N he life-threatening illness of her
J O AN daughter, Quintana, and the sud-
ID1 1 o .L den death of her husband, John
V A C I C A Dunne, inspired Joan Didion to write her
T ai I N I I most personal, thoughtful work to date.
In Didion's latest work, "The Year of
Magical Thinking," she really opens up.
Never before could a Didion reader picture tears in
the eyes of this rugged social critic.
Didion is most famous for her judicious essays on
the '60s, collected in "Slouching Towards Bethlehem"
and "The White Album." In them, she tore into the
hippie movement, calling it a social hemorrhaging,
at a time when most other writers
dubbed it "groovy."
In her previous memoir, which
discussed her frontier heritage and
gave voice to a veritable parade
of characters, she maintained her
characteristic distance with ease.
The vulnerability she evinces in this memoir render it
much more moving.
What makes this book one of her best is that she
breaks her own rules regarding self-disclosure, while
maintaining her classic, brilliant style.
She is still terse. She still looks for facts to back up
her claims even if the claim is that people suffering
from grief are temporarily insane.
Readers catch a glimpse of her emotion in her sen-


tences, which are not always completely orderly. Her
thoughts are sometimes jumbled, but honest, and her
pace has more urgency than ever before.
She lets us see it all.
From her forgetfulness to her inability to cover the
Democratic National Convention, she takes us with
her through her bout with loss and reveals her feel-
ings of inadequacy.
Each one of the 226 pages is filled with pure Didion
wisdom. Her thoughts on self-pity and on the distinc-
tion between grief and sorrow lend a refreshing dose
of personality to a writer who often hides behind sub-
jects, offering only teasing glimpses into her psyche.
It is gratifying to see that even
Erin someone who seems to have it all so
Chalfant together can question herself.
Off the Press This seemingly hardened critic
theavenue@alligator.org penetrates the privacy of her mar-
riage to reveal how she depended
on her husband in her writing and
for her self-image. She describes things with such sin-
cerity and attention that we forget the cliches of grief.
I admit I was skeptical about this book. I have
never lost anyone close to me, so I simply assumed I
was not a part of her target audience.
-I was wrong. Didion's target audience is everyone.
Anyone who wants to better understand other peo-
ple, and certainly anyone who likes honest, insightful
writing will love this book.

There's annoying. And then there's
South of the Border -a South Carolina
government experiment about how to
annoy 1-95 travelers gone absolutely,
horribly right.
If you've driven anywhere between
Georgia and Virginia you've seen one
too many of the 200 signs telling you
about this peculiar Pedro man and
this South of the Border phenomena.
Because flanking the North
Carolina-South Carolina border in
much the same way that mold grows
between slices of stale bread, South
of the Border continues thriving as a
tourist hotspot.

during your Paris honeymoon? South
of the Border offers a bevy of honey-
moon suites.

Fort Pedro and Rocket City, fireworks
stands with enough munitions to blow,
Fort Sumter into smithereens.
Craving a sweet-tooth fix? Check
out Ice Cream Fiesta. Because who
knows more about ice cream than
Americans posing as Mexicans?
"Of course people say it's cheesy,"
said Susanne Pelt, South of the
Border's spokeswoman. "Some peo-
ple love it and of course some people
don't. But it's a great place."
Conveniently nicknamed SOB,
South of the Border started in 1949
when Alan Schafer set up an 18-by-36
foot beer stand just south of the bor-
der because of North Carolina's dry
counties.
"I'm sure the people who drank
their beer and wine didn't quit drink-
ing just because the county decided
not to sell it," Pelt said.
What started as an honorable
gesture to distribute liquid bread has
become a tourist trap featuring a 300-
room motel, six restaurants, the Space

Gators ready for high-stakes SEC finale


By ANDREW ABRAMSON
Alligator Staff Writer
aabramson@alligator.org

Sugar Bowl or Music City Bowl?
A monumental victory or a humiliating
loss at the hands of a former Gators icon?
Everything that the Gators have worked
for since Urban Meyer arrived nearly a year
ago will either come into fruition on Saturday
or fall faster than- Steve Spurrier's visor
after a bad offensive play when the Gators
travel to Columbia, S.C for their Southeastern
Conference finale.


UF MEN'S BASKETBALL


A win coupled with a Georgia loss to
Auburn Saturday night would send UF to
the SEC title game for the first time in five
seasons.
A loss, and the Gators could end up as the
SEC's No. 6 team, playing a late December
bowl game in Nashville.
That and not the subplot of Spurrier
coaching against the Gators is the bottom
line to a group of players that have enjoyed
little success since joining a team that domi-
nated the SEC in the 1990s.
"It's real-strange. Actually it hurts," senior
safety. Jarvis Herring said. "I came here ex-


pecting to get at least two or three rings, go-
ing to two or three SEC championships and at
least one national championship game."
What seemed like an easy UF victory just
weeks ago suddenly feels like a true SEC East
battle, a 1a Tennessee or Georgia showdowns.
The Gamecocks have become the surprise
of the conference as Spurrier has turned South
Carolina's offense into an aerial assault.
And after watching the Gators nearly blow
their season at home against Vanderbilt last
weekend, Meyer realizes what's at stake. But

UF showcases new talent in opening win


* FIVE PLAYERS SCORE IN
DOUBLE FIGURES, INCLUD-
ING BREWER'S 18.

By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer

One down, one to go.
On their first step to
Madison Square Garden, the
Gators felt like they had some-
thing to prove.
Spurred on by a spirited
second half, UF ran away from
St. Peter's by a final of 80-51
in the opening round of the
Coaches vs. Cancer Classic
at the O'Connell Center
Wednesday night.
The Gators advance to face
"I think our guys came
out a little anxious. They
were excited the first
game, a lot of nerves,"
Billy Donovan
UF men's basketball coach

Albany tonight,, as the Great
Danes defeated Oakland
(Michigan) 90-73 in the first
game of the doubleheader
while shooting 13 of 19 from
three.
Oakland coach Greg Kampe
said after the game that Albany
might be able to challenge the
Gators in tonight's game with
a trip to the Big Apple on the
line.
"I think Albany is a very,
very good basketball team,"


"No, I haven't. I think I'll
send him a good-luck card
or something."
Urban Meyer
on whether he's shared
tips with Auburn coach
Tommy Tuberville


Kampe said. "They shot the
blood out of it tonight. It was
unbelievable the way they
shot it.
"If they can go out and do
that, again tomorrow night
against Florida, they'll win."
The Gators were led by
Corey Brewer, whose career-
high 18 points were more than
he amassed in UF's two exhi-
bition games combined:.
He felt that the win proved
something to all of the Gators'
naysayers.
"We came .in to prove
a point, that we have a
good team," Brewer said.
"Everybody thought we lost
a lot, but even though we lost
a lot, we feel like we're just as
good a team, or even better."
Brewer was just one of five
Gators to score double digits.
Lee Humphrey finished up
with 14, Chris Richard had 11,
and Al Horford and Joakim
Noah each finished with 10.
The game, however, was in
doubt until the Gators strung
together a 35-7 run in the sec-
ond half, punctuated by con-
secutive three's from Brewer,
Taurean Green and David
Huertas that stretched the lead
to as much as 39 points.
UF coach Billy Donovan

cited the first game, a lot of nerves,"
Donovan said. "I thought in the second
half, we really settled down, and our team
played very good basketball."
After being given the green light by
Donovan, Humphrey was again firing
shots from all spots on the floor, finishing
4 for 7 from beyond the arc.
"Let it go, let it go," Donovan said. "I
think you saw one of them hit the back-
board first. I had no problem with that. I
was waiting for him to kind of be embar-
rassed."
The Gators also harassed the Peacocks'


Keydren Clark, limiting the two-time
defending NCAA scoring champion to
just 11 points on a 4-for-17 shooting per-
formance.
Clark never scored fewer than 15
points last season.
Green spent the majority of the game
shadowing Clark, and his teammates
were effusive with praise after the game.
"We did a really good job on Clark;
he's a heck of a player," said Adrian Moss,
who returned two weeks early from an in-
jured knee.
"I think we did a great job containing
him. Give all the credit to Taurean...we
just tried to help him out anyway we
could."

"I really have to talk to this team about
[keeping focus]," Meyer said. "I know that
people, reporters and everybody are like,
'What about this? What about Georgia?'
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What
about third-and-6 in the second quarter
with 4 minutes left? Your focus better be
on that.
"I think sometimes here at Florida, I'm
finding out, there's a distraction."
The Gators have no choice but to try
to cap off the SEC season with a victory
and then wait about three hours for the
Georgia-Auburn game to kickoff.


"I might not even watch the Georgia-
Auburn game, I might just wait for some-
one to call me and tell me 'hey you're going
to the SEC championship,'" Herring said. "I
don't even want to see it, I may get a little
too nervous, too hyped."
Perhaps Herring will really be watching
the Home Shopping Network, because he
seems to have a newfound interest in rings.
All it will take is a single victory and
a little help from Auburn, and the Gators
can have a true shot at winning that cham-
pionship ring that has eluded them since
Spurrier was wearing orange and blue.
"I just want a ring real bad," Herring
said. "I don't want to buy one. I want to
win one."


* SIX OF SPURRIER'S RECRUITS PRE-
PARE TO FACE THEIR OL' BALL COACH.

By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
bapp@alligator.org

Free Shoes University means nothing to him.
And he doesn't even know that you can't spell
Citrus without UT.
The word "Nintendo" meant more to him than
the name "Spurrier," as the Fun-N-Gun wreaked
havoc on Southeastern Conference defenses.
Brandon Siler represents a new generation of
Gators, reared in the post-Steve Spurrier era.
The linebacker was a high school sophomore
during Spurrier's final season at UF in 2001. Still,
he's heard a few things.
"I heard he was a great coach," Siler said. "I
never played for him. I never met him, so I really
don't know him and couldn't tell you a lot about
him. But from the things I see that's he's done, he's
pretty good real good."
He sees things like Spurrier's 1966 Heisman
Trophy on display outside of the team's locker room.
Things like UF's 1996 National Championship
Trophy housed in the bowels of the Swamp. Things
like Spurrier's jersey painted on the. interior of the
stadium's south end zone.
And Siler only has to look beside him for a
glimpse at a living relic from UF's football glory
days. Redshirt senior linebacker Todd McCullough
is one-of six holdovers from Spurrier's final recruit-
ing class at UF.
Along with safety Jarvis Herring, cornerback
Vemell Brown, center Mike Degory, offensive tackle
Lance Butler and scout-team offensive lineman
Jonathan Marvin, McCullough came to UF with vi-
sions of dominating the SEC under Spurrier.
Now, they go through the man who drew them
to Gainesville in order to possibly secure their first
and last shot at a conference title.
When the Gators face South Carolina on Saturday
with their SEC season on the line, McCullough will
gaze across the field to find the coach who facili-


tated the realization of a life-long dream patrolling
the Gamecocks' sideline.
"[Playing for UF] was something I always want-
ed to do since I was a small kid, and to get a chance
to live out your dream is something that you'll al-
ways be grateful of," said McCullough, who is the
only one currently on the UF roster to play a down
for Spurrier. "Coach Spurrier and his staff gave me
that opportunity."
McCullough's 01' Ball Coach will always have a
special place in his heart, just not on Saturday.
"You're going to do everything you can do
to beat them, and they're going to do everything
they can to beat you," McCullough said. "During
that time period it's a battle. Afterwards, we can
shake hands, but during that time period, it's a ball
game."
Though he admits he's a Gator 364 days of the
year, Spurrier agrees that nostalgia goes out the
window come 12:30 Saturday afternoon.
"I don't think it will be as big a deal as people
will think it will be," he said. "When you're the
play-caller, the offensive coach, usually your mind
is on the next play."
Spurrier was quick to point out he's not the only.
coach to face his alma mater. It's not even the first
time he's coached against the Gators.
Spurrier reminded prodding reporters Sunday
that during UF's 0-10-1 season in 1979, he served as
an assistant at Georgia Tech, and the Yellow Jackets
played the Gators to a 7-7 tie in Gainesville.
Of course, that's a little different than standing
between a league title and a program he raised to
national prominence a program that still lives in
his shadow.
"His stamp will always be on this program, and
it always should be," UF coach Urban Meyer said.
"It's no one's job to try to eliminate that stamp.
"You're not trying to eliminate anything. You're
just trying to build your own program here."
A win Saturday would go a long way to wean
UF off its Spurrier dependency. Herring wants to
help Gator Nation kick the habit.
"Pretty much, all the fans, they want us to go
there and kick their behinds," Herring said. "That's
all I can say about that."

UFSOCCER

Gators to open NCAA Tourney at home against Illinois


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

Beat Illinois.
As the top-seeded UF soccer
team (13-5-1) prepares to take on the
Illini (11-6-3) in their Friday night
opening-round match of the NCAA
Tournament, that's the one and only
focus.
After Central Florida upset UF
in a similar first-round situation last
season, the Gators know a little bit
about trap games.
Even the allure of a possible re-
match with second-seeded Florida
State dangling just one win away
won't be distraction to the team, se-
nior forward Jessica Young said.
"That was our mistake in the
SECs," said Young- of the Gators
recent first-round Southeastern
Conference Tournament loss to


Auburn.
"I think we weren't really fo-
cused on the game against Auburn
versus the tournament as a whole,"
Young said. "We're not focusing on
FSU; we're focusing on Illinois."
To find themselves in this posi-
tion, hosting the 111ini at UF, the
Gators rode an emotional roller-
coaster during the past week.
Fresh off their stinging loss to
the Tigers, the team returned to
Gainesville for a weekend -of gruel-
ing practice.
On Monday, they gathered for
a team meeting as the 2005 NCAA
Tournament bracket was an-
nounced.
And then their wild ride took an
upward turn.-
"We weren't called until the last
bracket, and that was really hard
because as each bracket was posted,
it was just more and more nervous-


ness setting in," Young said. --
"When we saw our name we
were exited, and then when we
saw Gainesville, we were shocked,"
she said. "Everyone was cheering.
People were crying. It was excit-
ing."
Junior Melanie Booth had a simi-
lar reaction to the announcement.
"We were very surprised," Booth
said. "I had no doubt we'd be in the
tournament, but I didn't think we'd
be at home.
"I'd have to say we lucked out."
Recent history of the NCAA
Tournament has been unkind to the
UF soccer program.
Senior Jessica Young has seen
nearly all the postseason has to of-
fer.
While the Gators failed to inake
the bracket in Young's freshman sea-
son, they reached the NCAA Elite 8
in 2003.


And then there's last year's first-
round loss to UCF in 2004.
"The NCAA Tournament is
the time for a lot of people
to redefine themselves. Do
with it what you will, and
go with it where you want
to go."
Jessica Young
UF senior

"I've seen it all since I've been
here," Young said.
"I've really seen the gamut of
variations of how a season can go
down."
And she isn't content to fall into
line with history. ,
"Being a senior now, you want to
make the most of it," she said. "I'll


say it for selfish reasons...I want to
go as far as we possibly can." "
Coach Becky Burleigh said the
Gators shouldn't have any trouble
being in the proper mindset for
tournament play after their experi-
ence last weekend.
"It was a slap in the face what
happened with Auburn," she said.
"You know if you lose that NCAA
game, then you're done. If you're a
senior, you're done for your career."
With that in mind, the Gators ap-
proach the NCAA Tournament with
a mix of caution and eagerness.
Tournaments. provide a dean
slate, providing an opportunity
to move past records and history,
Young said
"The NCAA Tournament is the
time for a lot of people to redefine
themselves," she said. "Do with it
what you will, and go with it where
you want to go."


What could be worse than losing to Spurrier?


A re you ready?
SCan you handle the ultimate
slap in the face?
Would you survive the coldest bucket
of ice water this side of Antarctica?
What will you do if Steve Spurrier up-
sets the Gators?
Everyone is blabbering about SEC
championship this and Atlanta trip that
- as they should but nobody seems to
be dwelling on what could be the harshest
loss since Mississippi State undressed UF
last season.
And wouldn't it be sour because the
loss would eliminate UF's first shot at an
SEC championship since 2000.
If the Gators lose Saturday, Gainesville
Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan might as well
tab Monday a local bawliday because
Gator Nation would still be soaked in tears
from losing to SOS. That, or the Spurrier-
induced hangovers would give everyone
a gut-wrenching case of the Mondays.
Losing to Spurrier would be worse
than watching Urban Meyer tear his ACL
running out of the tunnel. It would be the
ultimate embarrassment-no coach could
deliver as stinging a defeat, save Ron Zook
if he were ever to drug the Gators and
defeat UF with his Ili-noise Division III


team.
Sure everyone
S loves Spurrier
except for that
asterisk. The fine
print on every
Louis Gator fan's con-
Anastasis science reads quite
Louis in the Bullpen clearly: I shall
lanastasis@alligator.org support Stephen
Orr Spurrier in all
endeavors foot-
ball related or not 364 days a year. I shall
not be a Stephen Orr Spurrier fan on UF-
South Carolina game day.
Why would a loss to the Cock-n-Fire
king be so bad? Just rewind to October
2004. Zook is fired and before you can say,
"We're getting better," rumors begin swirl-
ing about Spurrier's possible return to his
Gator Nation throne.
While few know exactly how the con-
versations between Spurrier and UF ath-
letics director Jeremy Foley went, the 01'
Ball Coach made no secret that he wasn't
opposed to coaching the Gators again.
And that was supposed to be it. End
of deal, right? Instead Foley pulled the
ultimate AD behind the back pass, suc-
cessfully courting bad boy Urban Meyer


- college football prodigy and seeming
defender of the universe.
It is 13 months later, and the verdict
is still out on which coach would have
been the better fit. Does Spurrier have the
physical and mental investment to build a
college dynasty? Only time will tell.
Can Meyer, given a couple of seasons,
implement the spread offense that drove
Mountain West opponents silly? Only two
more recruiting classes will tell.
But Saturday, in the minds of Gators
fans, a loss to Spurrier would provide an
immediate answer: Foley, you goofed.
Spurrier will forever be regarded as
the mastermind behind the UF football
program. Once he retires from college
football, one could even envision a statue
of him slamming down a visor sitting out-
side the Swamp. But try telling Gainesville
to cope with losing to a beloved coach the
Gators could have hired.
Try appeasing the masses of fans who
- albeit foolishly subscribe to the
Instant Gratification School of Thought.
Despite the injuries and the road ven-
ue, the Gators should have the manpower
and coaching to pull out the win.
God help the man at the helm of Gator
Nation if they don't.

Rcycte THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2005 By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer dcohen@alligator.org A pig bought with student money was roasted at a tailgate party held at a potential Student Body presidential candidate's home Saturday. Spanish American Law Students Association President Jared Hernandez spent $137.50 on the pig at the organization's annual roast held near the Levin College of Law. Hernandez's organization requested about $375 from Student Government for chairs, tables, soda, chips, salsa, ice and the pig. Most of the money was initially approved. But Student Body Treasurer Lindsay Cosimi said she discovered Sunday the Activity & Service Fee-funded pig was eaten at Hernandez's private residence. Cosimi approved the sponsoring of the food but said she was unaware of the location until after the party. It is a violation of Student Body Statutes to use A&S Fee-funded expenditures at a function hosted in a private residence. S"It's clearly against statutes," Cosinu said, noting that the Rules and Ethics Hernandez Cormrittee has been informed and will investigate. Cosimi said she told UF's General Accoumting Office on Monday to cancel funding for the event, but the $137.50 used for the pig was already given to the organization. Hernandez said he will pay back every penny today. "That was a mistake," said Hernandez, a student senator and UF law student. "I think that [Cosimi's] done the right thing in all this. I take full responsibility for that. I should be held to a higher standard." Cosimi said the rules are printed clearly in the finance manual and provided to all student organizations when they go through financial training. "Somebody that is so intimately involved in SG -it is their duty to understand the rules," she said. "It's explicitly written in black and white." However, Hemandez said the organization's annual pig roast is traditionally held at an off-campus residence.

SFCC's veterans reflect on time served in wars By ALEXIS LLOYD Alligator Writer The darkness of night cloaked him while constant sounds from gunfire filled his ears as Saddam Hussein's government and Iraq fell to American forces in April 2003. U.S. Army Pfc. Justin Rapp stood in Iraq with night vision goggles on his face and weapon by his side, vowing repeatedly to go back to college. Rapp now is an SFCC criminal justice sophomore. "I attended college before I went in [the Army] and didn't do too well, because I didn't have the character and discipline I have now to actually go to school," he said. Rapp describes himself as being "driven" toward his education goal now. "Once you have been in 'the suck,' everything now is just great," he said. "I don't take anything for granted anymore." He chose SFCC after researching other schools because it was highly accredited. "The school here is very supportive of veterans," said Rapp, who is the vice president of the SFCC Collegiate Veterans Society. Once Rapp finishes his associate's degree in Summer 2006, he plans on going back to the Army as an infantry soldier. SFCC has more than 350 student veterans attending school this semester. The college also is home to veteran professors. English professor John Feiber served in the Fourth Infantry Division during the Vietnam War from June 1968 to June 1969.

4, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2005 Alligator Writer srodriguez@alligator.org A $39 million transportation plan is in the works to relieve the growing traffic congestion problem in Gainesville. A meeting was held Wednesday morning by the Gainesville Metropolitan Transportation Planning Organization to discuss a 20-year plan to improve roads and traffic signals, among other things. Marlie Sanderson, staff director of MTPO, explained five priorities they have to relieve traffic. "We are expecting future traffic congestion on the west side of Gainesville," Sanderson said. "It's going to be a slow process, but it will be resolved." MTPO's first priority is synchronizing traffic signals throughout the city. Sanderson said that alone will improve traffic by 46 percent. The second priority is to redirect traffic from State Road 24 to Southeast 16th Avenue. State Road 24 includes linked sections of Archer Road, 13th Street and University Avenue. Sanderson said semitrailer trucks travel on Southwest Archer Road, which leads to University Avenue, and that county and city commissioners want them off those thoroughfares. The Florida Department of Transportation said it will only consider funding the project if Southeast 16th Avenue is expanded to a four-lane road, Sanderson said. The third priority is to reconstruct Southwest 20th Avenue by adding medians, transit "super YOU CAN HELF ENDANGERED MANA~ TE Hockey on and in water at UF GAINESViLLE Co issioners take s5%teps-% toeffictPS By STEPHANIE RODRIGUEZ stops," sidewalks and left-tum IE $20 TODAYl )THIS WEEK! 0S20 after your 1 st donation0 & with proof-ofSS# an oclrejeny ~-ale tn wdnor water is 40 seconds.

There are no goalies, and the object is to slam the puck against the opposing team's goal board. Underwater hockey can be traced back to England, circa 1954. Today, the sport is played in more than 20 countries, including Australia, France and Japan. Mullersman said the International Olympic Committee has toyed with the idea of making the sport an Olympic event but said it is still far from being an NCAAsanctioned sport. He said only a handful of colleges have teams. "The cool thing would be to root for football or play normal sports," Barragan said.

"This road will be designed so that when a bus stops, you don't need to stop, but rather just slow down because the lane will be wider," Sanderson said. The fourth priority is to add leftturn lanes to Northwest 34th Street at four to five locations. "We are expecting future traffic congestion on the west side of Gainesville. It's going to be a slow process, but it will be resolved." Marlie Sanderson MTPO staff director The final priority is to reconstruct Depot Avenue. The project for Depot Avenue is receiving special federal funds for as much as $4.8 million, leaving an estimated $11 million balance. "We don't know where the rest of the money is coming from," Sanderson said. City and county commissioners presented other ideas to relieve traffic congestion, such as a beltway, a road surrounding the city. However, commissioners turned it down because it would attract development outside the city. Other ideas discussed were road extensions for Radio Road and Southwest 23rd Terrace, but Sanderson it is doubtful those other plans will be completed. "They will probably not happen because of the lack of funding," Sanderson said.

By MICHAEL HURCOMB Alligator Contributing Writer For a non-contact sport, underwater hockey has its moments of brutality that a group of UF students throw themselves into two nights a week. "The only thing that keeps you out of the water is an car infection," player Dalila Barragan said. The Underwater Hockey Club started on campus Spring 2004; now more than 30 members strong, the team is gearing up for its first competition of the year this weekend in Charleston, S.C. Unlike the football team in nearby Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, underwater hockey in not a spectator sport. In fact, on most nights, the only person watching is 20-year-old lifeguard Aaron Jeckell. "It looks like a feeding frenzy; lke a shark is attacking them," Jeckell said. "From up top, it looks like chaos." Underwater, participants are armed with a one-foot, wooden stick shaped like a hook. The stick is used to bat around a puck as players push, shove and lunge along the bottom of the pool, midway between the shallow and deep ends. Gender and physique do not matter with water acting as the great equalizer. "We have a 70-year-old man who comes down from Canada each year to play with us, and he does just fine," 18-year-old club President Mark Mullersman said. "Some of the best players in the world aren't in fit shape. It's just everyone brings their own aspect to the game." Players wear masks, fins, water polo headgear, a snorkel and a gardening glove wrapped in white tape.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 5 Speaker blames Clinton administration o %/11 H GARY ALDRICH PLEADED WITH STUDENTS FOR MORE CONSERVATIVE VOICES. By MIKE JAYNE Alligator Contributing Writer A disorganized Clinton administration, composed largely of communist sympathizers and former drug users, was the cause of a national security breakdown that led to the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, said a 30year FBI veteran and former White House insider. "[Sept. 11] can be put at the foot of Bill Aldrich Clinton and his administration," said Gary Aldrich, founder of the Patrick Henry Center and author of "Unlimited Access: An FBI Agent Inside the Clinton White House." Aldrich said 25 percent of those he investigated for White House security clearances had a "serious drug lifestyle" before coming to Washington. Aldrich spoke to about 75 students in Turlington Hall about the need for a stronger conservative voice on campus. The UF College Republicans hosted the speech. He spent most of the hour-long discussion offering anecdotes about his time in the White House under former presidents Bush and Clinton. His Clinton impersonations garnered giggles from the audience. Aldrich told the crowd he transferred to Washington, D.C. to fight organized crime, but investigations of Washington officials led him to wonder if politics itself was a form of organized crime. The majority of cases he investigated for political corruption involved Democrats, Aldrich said. He found links between radical political groups of the 1960s and the current Democratic Party leadership. After the speech, College Republicans Chairwoman Ashlee Black said she wanted people to "open their eyes." Aldrich urged students to stand up to liberal bias on campus., "These college campuses are safe havens for people to say 'I'm a Marxist and if you don't like it you're the devil,"' he said. yes tur skyrd for rare Mars viewing window By VANESSA GARCIA Alligator Contributing Writer The Alachua Astronomy Club invites all earthlings to catch a free viewing of the red planet Saturday night as it reaches its closest approach to Earth until 2018. This rare Mars viewing will take place from 7 to 11 p.m. af the Powell Hall Education and Exhibition Center of the Florida Museum of Natural History. Founding member of the astronomy club, Howard Cohen, said he expects hundreds of people of all ages to attend the event. Up to 10 different types of telescopes, owned by members of the club, will be available for public use. At its closest point, the planet will be about 43 million miles away from the center of the earth, according to NASA. Mars came even closer in 2003, but the view will be clearer this time around. The local weekend forecast of clear skies promises a crisp telescope view of the planet's surface, Cohen-said. C Visitors have a chance to view Student the dark bands surrounding the Li planet that were once thought to be vegetation that could support life on Mars. Observers can also see an icyblue collection of clouds, nicknamed "Purple Haze," that hovers over the planet's northern pole, he said. The event will begin with a presentation about various spacecraft missions to Mars. A continuous computer presentation projected on the outside of the building will demonstrate how to use telescopes to observe Mars, the moon and other celestial bodies. Cohen urges people not to miss this unprecedented glimpse into the celestial heavens. "This is as large as Mars ever gets," Cohen said. "It's thrilling to see with your own eyes." Senator to pay back funds SG, from page I Student Senate 'President John Boyles attended the roast and said about 35 attended the party, which had a keg. "It was just a typical barbecue in my mind," he said. Boyles added he did not know the pig was purchased with A&S ,Student money said it is impossible for student money to be used for alcohol because receipts are required to release money for food purchases. Hernandez would not comment on whether or not identification was checked before entrants were allowed to consume alcohol at what he called a "private party." Hernandez said he wasn't positive where the organization would hold the pig roast when officers first requested funding i October. However, Susan Henriques, a student assistant in the SG Finance Office, said Hernandez told Senate about two weeks before the event that it was to be held at his home. Henriques added it's widely known in SG circles that Hernandez is running for president next term. "The treasurer should have caught that," Henriques said, noting that it's up to Cosir to accept a money request withoutsa listed location. Cosimi said it is impossible for her to catch every student organization that tries to find a loophole in its budget. "The system's flawed," she said. "We do rely on the honesty of the organization." War a learning experience VETERANS, from page 1 "It was a very turbulent time, and Vietnam was a very unpopular war," Feiber said. "I use some of my military experiences to talk about current issues in my literature classes. "With the situation in Iraq, I use those experiences to illustrate some of what is going on over there, but I don't try to preach about it though," he said. The hardship of war gives veterans a different perspective that serves as a benefit for student veterans, Feiber said. "I think that you become who you are after taking part in a war," Feiber said. "There are certain strengths [veteran students] have that other [students] may not have," he said. There are about 25 million veterans in the United States. At the 2005 Veterans Day proclamation on Nov. 2, President George Bush stated, "Americans owe a great debt of gratitude to those who have sacrificed for our liberty and for the security of our nation. We express deep appreciation to our veterans -the men and women who stepped forward when America needed them, triumphed over brutal enemies, liberated continents and answered the prayers of millions around the globe." Feiber said he uses Veterans Day as a time for reflection. "It is a time for me to reflect on my military service and to focus on all soldiers in U.S. history who paid the ultimate price or those who will have to," he said. "It is a time to single out the veterans for what they have done for their country.". Student will travel to promote agriculture programs VP, from page 1 education, the FFA and the agriculture industry," she said.Along with an $8,000 scholarship, the program will also send Der and the other officers to Japan for 10 days to observe how agriculture is practiced internationally. She said she looks forward to her first overseas trip in February, but not because of the foreign cuisine. "I'm not a big sushi fan," she said with a laugh. "It's all nasty to me." Unfortunately for Der, the trip is the same time of year that Plant Citybears its fruit, earning its title as the winter strawberry capital of the world. This will be the first time in 10 years that Der won't be able to participate in the annual Florida Strawberry Festival as an ambassador for the Florida Strawberry Growers Association. Dec grew up around livestock. Her parents own a feed and farm supply business, and her grandparents, who live next door, harvest citrus fruit. "I kind of grew up in agriculture," she said. Her father, a former member of the Future Farmers of America, used to help Der and her younger sister when they had livestock-rearing assignments. "Our projects have always been more like pets," she said. Now that she's away from her tight-knit household, she said she misses some of her best friends from home: Lyle and Phil, the family's pigs. "They have such a personality," Der said. "You have to watch them because they can get out of their pen. They're tricky creatures." Erica Der, elected as National Future Farmers of America Southern Region Vice President, will take a year off from UF to travel around the country and to Japan with other members of the organization.

6, ALLIGATOR M THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2005 C lasses are canceled Friday for a holiday most UF students know nothing about. Without any statistics on the matter, we're betting the majority of students will use the extra time for keg stands and football preparation. But the Editorial Board isn't going to set anyone straight, partly because that would entail looking up Veterans Day on the Internet. Instead, we're going to launch into something much more fun and much less honorable. With all the political chaos and academic slavery going on in our world, we thought our peers would rather laugh at the stupidity of others than scream at the nonsense. So sink into a chair, grab some popcorn and kick off your shoes for this week's edition of. Darts & Laiurels The Editorial Board is a fan of animals. We like to pet them, feed them and eat them. But animal activism sometimes gets a little out of hand. So we throw an extreme-animal-loving-has-no-placein-legislation DART at Rome's city council for approving a 59-point statute ordering better treatment for pets. Among the new laws, which went into effect Wednesday, are stipulations that goldfish are entitled to a full-sized aquarium and that dogs must be walked at least once a day. Cat ladies (those who feed many strays) will also be officially recognized. Apparently, small fish bowls confine goldfish to lives of swimming in circles. We suppose bigger aquariums mean they can swim in bigger circles. The best part of the entire story is how much praise the animal-rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, is giving officials. Do any of these people expect to be taken seriously? Aside from the obvious ridiculousness of the entire scenario, many critics are asserting the laws will be unenforceable. We doubt Roman police will search door-todoor for dog-walking perpetrators. But we're happy to report Gainesville has no such soft spot for animals. We hand an every-so-often-poultry-needs-a-kick-inthe-butt LAUREL to UF student Cornelius Edward Regan Jr., who, according to University Police reports, killed a rooster and injured a hen when he shot at them with a rifle pellet gun. He said he was tired of the noise the chickens made in the morning. We don't know what chickens were doing in the backyard of a fraternity house, but we do know that they needed to be given a lesson in manners. If Regan hadn't courageously acted in time, Gainesville would soon be overrun with rebellious poultry. Moving away from our animal-rights theme and on to the affairs of our fellow brethren, we softly throw a Bo-Diddley-concerts-don't-count-as-homeless-experiences DART to the homeless imposters who slept in the Downtown Community Plaza on Wednesday night. You're not homeless. You're taking up space. And you'll be eating food that could have gone to the homeless when you eat Breakfast on the Plaza. On the other hand, we think you're great for donating tents and sleeping bags to the cause. So we come back and hand a giving-stuff-to-the-less-fortunate-is-always-welcome LAUREL to the charitable homeless imposters. We're just of the opinion that we're all aware of homelessness, and watching free entertainment isn't going to make us more aware. It's like Gainesville's version of Live 8.

Opinionsi ALLIGATOR www.aIligator.org/opinions 1C -oN' 6l S \ 0p Cl i ngi ng t loopholes won't hel p bill irst, let's get one thing straight: I support the proposed ban on torture and inhumane treatment of prisoners in U.S. custody that's making its way through Congress. However, I don't think the ban will have much effect on the actual treatment of detainees because torture and mistreatment are obviously not an official policy of the United States. They do take place, of course, but they happen in secret. And if someone's hiding the fact that they do something, it means they already knowit's something they aren't supposed to be doing. When reports of mistreatment proliferate in the news as they have of late, they begin to seem the rule, rather than the exception. The U.S. government, to put it bluntly, has earned a worldwide reputation of disdain for the basic human rights of those not lucky enough to be American themselves. The ban, then, is a good first step, in that it sends out a clear statement that our government finds those actions as repulsive as the rest of the world does. That being said, I think the way the ban has been handled by its proponents is just another example of U.S. politicians' willingness to exploit any loophole in the law in order to get their way. Sen. John McCain said he and other sponsors of the ban would make sure it is added to all major Senate legislation until it is passed. They certainly have the power to do so. Because of the way Congress works, legislation on any issue can be appended to bills addressing any other issue, regardless of how different they may be. Once the two disparate pieces of legislation are combined, however, they are inseparable until the bill is either passed or defeated. If one is found to be unacceptable, the other is condemned with it. Thus, if President Bush vetoes a bill in order to kill the ban, the original legislation dies as well. If this occurs over and over -as could happen, if the ban's proponents are as committed as they say -numerous pieces of important ^ Z legislation would have to make their Matt Sanche way through Congress multiple In Moderation times. msanchez@aIigator.org This process incurs significant costs. Each additional time a piece of legislation must pass through Congress, it costs taxpayers more money. Even worse, this practice brings with it the possibility that a piece of time-sensitive legislation could be defeated, allowing a problem to go unsolved just so this ban could have another shot. The ban absolutely should be passed. Shame on President Bush for even considering a veto. In truth, though, I believe the ban ultimately will be passed with a minimum of fuss. I can't imagine the Bush administration being able to hold off for long, regardless of how strongly it feels. Continued resistance would be too damaging to its image -and, more importantly, to America's. Proponents should therefore let the ban through normal channels and consider a more responsible form of corrective action if it fails. If the Bush administration is able to continue to stall a bill as well supported as proponents claim it to be, this indicates a fundamental problem in the system that we should address directly. It's time we try to work for real change, rather than clinging to loopholes like kindergarteners arguing the rules of a newly made game. Matt Sanchez is a journalisin senior.

Letters to the Editor Football column was misunderstood All who mistook Tripp Miller's Tuesday column -calm down. He wasn't saying that it is your duty to go to football games. He's saying that if you attend the game (any game for that matter), stay for its entirety. He directed it especially at those who left early from Saturday's game, most likely because they felt the team was going to lose. How would you feel if you were playing in a sport and all your family and friends walked out because you struck out, fumbled or fouled? Some of the members of the football team probably felt disparaged upon seeing their so-called fans leaving the stadium, and some probably played even harder because it upset them that they'd lost hope. It's a horrible feeling to kno W you're trying your hardest, and just because you happen to be down for the moment, your fans feel as though there is no hope for you. Don't get it wrong, for I am by no means a football fan. I. can just understand his point of view. MJ. Angrand UF Alumna U U French poor don't have important rights My letter is in response to that of Christina O'Neill in Wednesday's Alligator. You're right! Poverty does not give anyone the right to take the wealth of another. However, wealth does not give anyone the right to oppress and take advantage of the poor. You claim that jobs were created by those who knew their only true entitlement is "the full use of their reason in order to acquire what they want and need, so long as they do not infringe upon this same right in any other man." Do the impoverished immigrants of France have the option to use the full extent of their reason for their own benefit? Are they just lazy and unreasonable, or is it that the one entitlement you claim every man should have is the one entitlement they have been deprived of? These people cannot simply choose to use their faculties of reason for their gain because they are oppressed by a system that discrininates against them. Their ability to satisfy their needs has been infringed upon for the satisfaction and benefit of others who might be where they are today, not just because of their ingenuity and reason, but because of the special preference they have historically enjoyed as well. The plight of the disadvantaged in France has been neglected for too long, and while violence is never the answer, we are witnessing a situation best explained by Martin Luther King Jr., who said, "A riot is at bottom the language of the unheard." The evil here is not the people themselves but a world with such disparity in quality of life and opportunity that the destitute-lash out in despair.

This is a textbook example of an opportunity cost situation. Why go to the game at all if you are going to leave early when someone else (who would stay the entire game) could have your seat -aiding in bringing our team a victory? The real question here is who are you, Ilycia Schwartz? If you knew anything about sports, you would know football is a sport in which spectators can directly influence the outcome of a game.

mthe THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2005 To their owi beat By DANIELLE LUCEY Avenue Writer If Mitch Soule from The Leftovers has his way, Gainesville will soon teem with drummers. Soule is putting on a benefit concert Monday to benefit local nonprofit organization Studio Percussion. The charity, started by UF alumnus Tobin Wagstaff, uses drums and percussion instruments to motivate children's development and leadership skills. The early show, located at the Civic Media Center at 1021 W University Ave., also includes the untimely death of., and X-ray Ted on the bill. The money raised will provide Studio Percussion with needed equipment and scholarships for private lessons, which are given out to children based on financial need. Soule started working with Studio Percussion after he saw a post on gainesvillebands.com Tim Hussin / Allig Tyler Lattimore, 11, practices at Studio Percussion, a nonprofit benefited by the Sunday concert at the Civic Media Center. by Wagstaff requesting help on rebuilding the organization's Website. After forming a relationship, Wagstaff also wanted Soule to intem at the studio. Soule had played drums "off and on" and was put in Studio Percussion's advanced class held at 6:30p.m. onThursdays,hesaid. The organization has a range of classes, including a Kids Love Drums class for children 3 and under. The Leftovers are recording a yet-unnamed demo featuring five new songs in guitarist Charles Rye's new studio. "We really turned a corner with the new music we tried to do," Soule said. "It's a whole new process of pretty much beginning anew." The last CD was a transitional phase for the band, which used to play "three-chord Green Day rock," Soule said. These days the band draws inspiration from bands on No Idea Records, even though they've still maintained most of their post-hardcore sound. Now, instead of spending two days formulating songs, the band is spending as much as two months, Soule said. To complete the band's transition, they are also searching for a new name, Soule said. .So far the band has completed two songs, both clocking in at over six minutes. They are holding off on recording more vocals until Soule recovers from a cold. Along with new songs, the demo will include-an electric version of "Computer Scans" from their previous album, "These Ships Have No Cannons."

VIGIER Avenue Writer Ordinary doesn't have to be a bad thing, in fact, some would even call it art. The WARPhaus Art Gallery, 818 NW First Ave., will hold a free opening reception for the "Everyday" exhibit from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday. A collection of sculptures, ceramics, photography, video and paintings give dynamic depictions of what the artists consider to be everyday life. The nine artists involved, who will attend the opening reception, are: Wesley Berg, Kyle White, Lisa Iglesias, Jeremy Mikolajczak, Leonard Trubia, Matt Grady, Conner McKissack and Joy Drury Cox. Cox, a photography student at UF, said the world around her was an inspiration for the art. '"A lot of us were making art that dealt with the everyday -a questioning of our surroundings," she said. "For some of us, it is through art-making that we offer other possibilities and alternatives to the things we experience daily." But daily objects aren't the only things the artists use to express themselves. "While some of the works in the show deal with objects that we encounter on a daily basis, others deal with notions of time and experiences that routinely occur," Cox said. The gallery is run by a different graduate student in, the UF fine arts program each year and receives its ideas for exhibits from community sources. I "It's just an opportunity from students, both graduate and undergrad, to send proposals, but it's not limited to UF students," said Kendal Johnson, a 23-year-old graduate student in the UF arts program and coordinator of the "Everyday" exhibit. The gallery is open for student proposals from both UF and SFCC, as well as to all local artists. The WARPhaus Gallery offers not only a forum for artists to express themselves, but opportunities to practice their artistic skills and studies adjacent to UF. UF art professors Bethany Taylor and Sean Miller are in charge of the gallery, which is not affiliated with the university but gets most of its resources from there. The gallery offers classes, workshops and research for individuals to practice their work, Johnson said. The gallery is also accepting proposals for its Spring 2006 exhibition. W Mohawks are back!

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2005 3 ALLIGATOR, 9 CoMIc begins long, dusty road omic books are a medium laden with genre conventions and stereotypes, bursting at the seams with superheroes. That's why writers like Brian Azzarello are so vital to the industry. And it's also why "Loveless" is a must-read. Years ago, Azzarello reinvented the crime genre for comics with Eduardo Risso and called it "100 Bullets." It's still going strong. Now, Azzarello has taken the reins of what he's dubbed a "noir spaghetti western" and created "Loveless." It sounds like an oxymoron, but with Azzarello teaming up with Marcelo. Frusin again, his "Hellblazer" collaborator, it's bound to work. Just take a peek at issue No. 1, which hit shelves Oct. 26, a bargain at40 pages for $2.99.

10, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2005 The Joggers' sophomore album good, not great The Joggers With a Cape and a Cane Star Time The Joggers come from Portland, and as impressive as their second album can be at times, you can't help but feel that they're destined to be lost in the glut of Northwestern indie rock bands. The Joggers take the Q and Not U route of slightly angular post-punk, and they're clearly good at what they do. Vocalist Benjamin Whitesides recalls Cursive's Tim Kasher, minus the angst. The comparison resonates further on the second track, "We've Been Talked Down," which has the dark, brooding quality of something from the Omaha band's "The Ugly Organ." Jake Morris' drumming keeps things interesting, and the band shoots for a catchy dance floor hit on "Wicked Light Sleeper." Somehow, though, they never quite hit the target dead-on, leaving the listener with a record of well-written songs that are ultimately difficult to remember. Whitesides'nonchalant vocals, too, begin to grate a little by the album's end. A good indie rock record, but not an essential one. Bonk "Western Soul" Racing Junior It's hard to know what to make of Bonk. From the album's cover, a photo of the Norwegian duo looking disheveled and shirtless, you might expect some kind of down-tempo electronica. Then you listen to the bass rolling ominously over spoken-word samples on the opening track, and you start to anticipate yet another disco/postpunk fusion. One minute in the guitars arrive, and you realize that Bonk plays hard-and-fast rock 'n' roll. And they play it loud. That guitar sound grazes a little too close to nu-metal for comfort, but thankfully Bonk likes to rock out in a different way on each of their two-minute blasts. From one track to the next, they replicate nothing except the volume level. Fans of early-90s post-hardcore will appreciate "Sara," while "Ni Hao Mama" is introduced with a riff Black Sabbath would have been proud of, and the blues-rock of "Wasted Love" is fueled with an energy Jack White could never hope to match. "Western Soul" blows by in less than half an hour and is all the-better for it, for the quick play time enables them to keep everything short, sweet and fresh. Don't come looking for anything remotely cerebral, but if you're a rock fan of the old school turned off by the depressing, self-important excuses for metal and hardcore populating the airwaves, Bonk is definitely worthy of your time. -MATT CLEAR Local band draIws iratin from criminally insane By VERA HADZI-ANTICH Avenue writer Local band Pet Monument's main inspiration tends to be craziness. Jon Waller, guitar/ vocals for the band, works with criminally insane people. He has a psychology degree from UF and works for the state of Florida. "I'm not allowed to bring CDs into my work," Waller said. "CDs are considered weapons." Waller's profession has inspired at least two of Pet Monument's songs -"God's Tears," about a cult's use of poisoned lemonade for group suicides, and "Nurse Sara," program on Discovery Channel akout lions. about an insane man's love for the nurse who "Two young lions took over the patriarchal takes care of him. head position," said Chuck Smyth, electric "That actually happens a [Bo Diddley] calls us those piano/guitar/vocals, about lot," Waller said of patients inhis Discovery Channel-infatuated with nurses.

The band will also be perform finds inspiration in sources as unlikely as a Friday night at a benefit concert at the Civic Media Center. Saturday, Pet Monument will perform as part of an all-day festival at Tim and Terry's. This band's sound needs to be heard to be understood. It's difficult to label it, but the band came up with "atmospheric indie rock" by the end of the interview. "Since there are different people writing the songs, the songs sound so different," drummer Chris Pettit said. Perhaps the band is best described by one of its neighbors, Bo Diddley. "He calls us those kids down the street playing some funky beats," guitarist/vocalist Greg Pishko said.

The Division of Cultural Affairs' 24th annual Downtown Festival and Art Show moved up to 81st place from last year's S5-th in the 200 best art festivals in the United States, according to Sunshine Artist magazine. Sunshine Artist employee Angel Ross said the best-of list is narrowed down from about 10,000. The decision is made by input from festival artists and craftsmen throughout the country who send in a ballot that lists their best-selling shows from the year. The festival will be held downtown Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5p.m. "Twelve years ago, we had 170 booth spots and only 150 artists applied,' said Linda Piper, the events coordinator for the City of Gainesville's division of cultural affairs. This year, about 600 artists applied for the 250 booths tobe erected on the blocked-off streets between the Hi-ppodrome and city hall, Piper said. "It is a competitive process that begins in the summer and we only take the best," Piper said. While the artists in attendance will be from all over the nation, Florida artists who applied to the festival were given preference over out-of-state artists. Gainesville artists had the best chance of getting a booth. But local or not, diverse forns of art will be for sale this weekend for all types of art lovers and buyers. Vendors will sell everything from original oil and watercolor paintings to decorative ceramics, sculptures, jewelry and photographs. .The prospect of creative gift may be part of Artfest's success. 'I think it is so successful because during this time of year eol like to start their holiday shopping early," said Cecily McLeod, law student and returning festival volunteer. Each individual artist will compete for $14,000 in cash prizes and '000 in purchase awards, Piper said. But before the first painting or' necklace is sold Saturday morning, the festival will have already kicked off its musical events. The festival will host live azz and blues concerts Friday and Saturday 8Friday night's blues concert beg at 7 with local band Terra plane before Beautiful Bobby Blacmon hits the stage, followed by Delta Moon. The jazz festival starts at 6 p.m. Saturday with Gainesville's Mindwalk, followed by saxophonist Eric Darius, returning from last ear's show, and then Pieces of a ream will plug in at about 9:30 p.m. In addition to finding unique items and listening to music, students can sample barbecued ribs, turkey legs, gyros, bloomin' onions, sausages and strawberry shortcakes. Some say glimpsing through artist's creations and listening to harmonic musician's tunes makes students feel like part of a diverse Gainesville culture. "This is a completely different side of a college town that a lot of eople don't et to see," said Katie UF frescan and Gainesville resident who has attended the festival in past years. But the most impressive part of Gainesville's downtown festival is that the city didn't spend a penny to make it happen, Piper said. It's funded entirely through fees from participants and contributions from private sponsors. Most other festivals of this caliber charge admission, but the downtown festival's 120,000 expected patrons will get in free.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 13 Former 'aily sh4ow' star alms to overexpose himself courtesy noto Steve Carell on the set of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart." His new cynical sitcom airs Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. on NBC. By KEVIN MAHADEO Avenue Writer Steve Carell wanted to be a lawyer but persued his dream to be a 40-year-old virgin. Carell was in the process of filling out applications for law school when he realized he would rather pursue his acting hobby. Twenty years later, Carell has become one of the biggest stars in comedic entertainment. Carell's career "began" with a local McDonald's commercial in which he played a three-armed man eating a triple cheeseburger. "I thought to myself, 'This is it. I'm a complete and utter success,"' Carell joked during a Nov. 3 conference-call interview. "There was no way I could achieve a higher goal, and frankly, it was all downhill from there." In truth, Carell actually came to fame with "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart." There, he served as one of the fake-news reporters and participated in the "Even Stevens" segment with former colleague Stephen Colbert. Carell said he has nothing but the utmost respect for Stewart and-Colbert. "Just to be mentioned in the same sentence as those guys -it sounds very much a cliche -is really an honor." Carell has starred in a number of popular roles, skyrocketing him to superstardom. His recent endeavors include "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy," the television series "The Office" and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," which Carell co-wrote. "I've sort of taken whatever job I've been given," Carell said. "Aside from appearing in pornography, I've pretty Much done anything that's been handed to me.", Carell said his favorite character to date is Brick Tamland from "Anchorman," who he relates most to because, like Brick, he is a fairly oblivious person himself. "Brick is the Minotaur. He's sort of half-man/half-beast," Carell said. "I think Brick is mostly beast, and partly man.," he said. "Anchorman" gave Carell a chance to expose his comedic talents; many of his scenes were not scripted, and Carell ad-libbed them. The entire exchange between EZ Tennis Rackets -Tennis -Racquetball -Squash -Badmitton -Table Tennis. Lowest prices in town. EZ Tennis will gladly beat lower internet prices. Call us at 372-2257. Carell's character and Christina Applegate's concerning the "party in his pants" was made up on the spot. "Adam McKay would say, 'You know what Steve? At the end of this scene, just say anything.' It was a huge amount of freedom to say anything, and it didn't have to apply," he said. Over the next two years, Carell is signed on to star in eight different movies -including a sequel to "Bruce Almighty" titled "Evan Almighty." With so much going on, it may seem as though his career has reached its peak. "My goal is to be 'completely overexposed," Carell said. "In the next nine months, I'm going to take as much in as possible. Then I'm going to disappear in a fiery wreck of a career." Carell said he gets sick of himself as much as anyone else, but he really isn't too worried about being overexposed. "I just try to do things I find interesting or funny, with people I respect or-find funny, or both," Carell said. "I just want to have fun with what I'm doing." / I 2 Locati'ons: Creeks ide mal near Gator Tex ooks & SW 34th Bt near Alley Katz Bowlingi opea wLn your r-etj urps uiUIpu.

To kick off the festivities, there will be a seven-on-seven football competition called Adobowl on Friday. For the first time, the event will also feature a basketball toumament. z Berdin said he decided to add the tournament because of the heavy role basketball plays in Filipino culture.

This hairstyle pulled a Rip Van Winkle, falling asleep in the '80s only to wake up 20 years later -along with old comrades like the "Flashdance" T-shirt and Chuck Taylors -as if it never left. But now the mohawk is also paired with 21st century digital toys like 'eli phones and iPods, reinventing mainstream nonconformity. Move over mullet; it's time for a slick new 'do. Take a look around, you'll see what I'm talking about. Let's see, there were Crockett and Tubbs, Magnum and Higgins, and lest we forget, the originator of primetime mohawk fashion, Mr. T (also known as B.A. Baracus) and the A-Team. The mohawk too has a sidekick: the fauxhawk. The fauxhawk is a prettier version-of the mohawk, seen on some of the prettiest celebrity faces, including soccer star David Beckham and Brandon Flowers from The Killers.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 15 .~ he life-threatening illness of her o A daughter, Quintana, and the sudden death of her husband, John I i Dunne, inspired Joan Didion to write her most personal, thoughtful work to date. In Didion's latest work, "The Year of Magical Thinking," she really opens up. Never before could a Didion reader picture tears in the eyes of this rugged social critic. Didion is most famous for her judicious essays on the '60s, collected in "Slouching Towards Bethlehem" and "The White Album." In them, she tore into the hippie movement, calling it a social hemorrhaging, at a time when most other writers dubbed it "groovy." In her previous memoir, which discussed her frontier heritage and gave voice to a veritable parade of characters, she maintained her characteristic distance with ease. The vulnerability she evinces in this memoir render it much more moving. What makes this book one of her best is that she breaks her own rules regarding self-disclosure, while maintaining her classic, brilliant style. She is still terse. She still looks for facts to back up her claims -even if the claim is that people suffering from grief are temporarily insane. Readers catch a glimpse of her emtion in her sentences, which are not always completely orderly. Her thoughts are sometimes jumbled, but honest, and her pace has more urgency than ever before. She lets us see it all. From her forgetfulness to her inability to cover the Democratic National Convention, she takes us with her through her bout with loss and reveals her feelings of inadequacy. Each one of the 226 pages is filled with pure Didion wisdom. Her thoughts on self-pity and on the distinction between grief and sorrow lend a refreshing dose of personality to a writer who often hides behind subjects, offering only teasing glimpses into her psyche. It is gratifying to see that even Erin someone who seems to have it all so Chalfant together can question herself. Off the Press This seemingly hardened critic theavenue@alligator.org penetrates the privacy of her marriage to reveal how she depended on her husband in her writing and for her self-image. She describes things with such sincerity and attention that we forget the cliches of grief. I admit I was skeptical about this book. I have never lost anyone close to me, so I simply assumed I was not a part of her target audience. -I was wrong. Didion's target audience is everyone. Anyone who wants to better understand other people, and certainly anyone who likes honest, insightful writing will love this book.

Nef Ix ases Suiq By BRETT KELMAN Avenue Writer Netflix Inc., the world's largest online movie rental service, may be sending out a few more DVDs than it planned next month, according to an e-mail to subscribers. On Nov. 2, all account holders who have had subscriptions since prior to Jan. 15, received an e-mail explaining that Netflix had settled the class-action lawsuit Chavez v. Netflix Inc., and that recipients of the e-mail are therefore entitled to benefits. The settlement decrees that these subscribers can receive a free onemonth extra DVD upgrade to their account. Former Netflix members who were subscribers before Jan. 15 but are no longer members are also entitled to a free one-month membership of the three-DVDs-ata-time program. The lawsuit was first filed in San Francisco Superior Court on Sept. 3,2004. According to the Notice of Class Action and Proposed Settlement, plaintiff Frank Chavez alleged that Netflix did not live up to its advertising, "including statements of 'unlimited rentals' and 'one-day delivery."' Neffhx settled the lawsuit but denied any wrongdoing or liability. "Netflix settled the lawsuit in the best interest of the company and its customers," said Steve Swasey, director of Netflix Corporate Communications, in a Nov. 4 e-mail. Aside from reaffirming a complete denial of wrongdoing, Swasey declined further comment. Netflix subscribers who qualify for the settlement can find more information and register for their benefits at netflixsettlement.com/ settlement. The deadline for filing a claim is Feb. 17. $1 Jf n item a sales t 'ax ." _BIke Racs -i s Trailers D 11 /05K!9 Loweing Kits N tb cmind atwith oth r Ondacrbody 'ugt pr)( ps oe Iupo Gat r T Ite Suppria rsn r t eae a We sell al vehecle accessories 2020 N Man St L (ss 2)77 -30O O O Gaiesvie.

A monumental victory or a humiliating loss at the hands of a former Gators icon? Everything that the Gators have worked for since Urban Meyer arrived nearly a year ago will either come into fruition on Saturday or fall faster thanSteve Spurrier's visor after a bad offensive play when the Gators travel to Columbia, S.C for their Southeastern Conference finale. UF MEN'S BASKETBALL A win coupled with a Georgia loss to Auburn Saturday night would send UF to the SEC title game for the first time in five seasons. A loss, and the Gators could end up as the SEC's No. 6 team, playing a late December bowl game in Nashville. That -and not the subplot of Spurrier coaching against the Gators -is the bottom line to a group of players that have enjoyed little success since joining a team that dominated the SEC in the 1990s. "It's real-strange. Actually it hurts," senior safety Jarvis Herring said. "I came here expecting to get at least two or three rings, going to two or three SEC championships and at least one national championship game." What seemed like an easy UF victory just weeks ago suddenly feels like a true SEC East battle, a Ia Tennessee or Georgia showdowns. The Gamecocks have become the surprise of the conference as Spurrier has turned South Carolina's offense into an aerial assault. And after watching the Gators nearly blow their season at home against Vanderbilt last weekend, Meyer realizes what's at stake.

The Gators advance to face "I think our guys came out a little anxious. They were excited -the first game, a lot of nerves," Billy Donovan UF men's basketball coach Albany tonight, as the Great Danes defeated Oakland (Michigan) 90-73 in the first game of the doubleheader while shooting 13 of 19 from three. Oakland coach Greg Kampe said after the game that Albany might be able to challenge the Gators in tonight's game with a trip to the Big Apple on the line. "I think Albany is a very, very good basketball team," "No, I haven't. I think I'll send him a good-luck card or something." Urban Meyer on whether he's shared tips with Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville Kampe said. "They shot the blood out of it tonight. It was unbelievable the way they shot it. "If they can go out and do that. again tomorrow night against Florida, they'll win." The Gators were led by Corey Brewer, whose careerhigh 18 points were more than he amassed in UF's two exhibition games combined: He felt that the win proved something to all of the Gators' naysayers. "We came in to prove a point, that we have a good team," Brewer said. "Everybody thought we lost a lot, but even though we lost a lot, we feel like we're just as good a team, or even better." Brewer was just one of five Gators to score double digits. Lee Humphrey finished up with 14, Chris Richard had 11, and Al Horford and Joakim Noah each finished with 10. The game, however, was in doubt until the Gators strung together a 35-7 run in the second half, punctuated by consecutive three's from Brewer, Taurean Green and David Huertas that stretched the lead to as much as 39 points. UF coach Billy Donovan said the team's sluggish firsthalf performance was due in part to first-game jitters. "I think our guys came out a little anxious.

"I thought in the second half, we really settled down, and our team played very good basketball."

"I think you saw one of them hit the backboard first. I had no problem with that. I was waiting for him to kind of be embarrassed." The Gators also harassed the Peacocks' Keydren Clark, limiting the two-time defending NCAA scoring champion to just 11 points on a 4-for-17 shooting performance. Clark never scored fewer than 15 points last season. Green spent the majority of the game shadowing Clark, and his teammates were effusive with praise after the game. "We did a really good job on Clark; he's a heck of a player," said Adrian-Moss, who returned two weeks early from an injured knee. "I think we did a great job containing him. Give all the credit to Taurean. we just tried to help him out anyway we could." Herring hopes to get his first ring FOOTBALL, from page 24 do his players? "I really have to talk to this team about [keeping focus]," Meyer said. "I know that people, reporters and everybody are like, 'What about this? What about Georgia?' Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What about third-and-6 in the second quarter with 4 minutes left? Your focus better be on that. "I think sometimes here at Florida, I'm finding out, there's a distraction." The Gators have no choice but to try to cap off the SEC season with a victory and then wait about three hours for the Georgia-Auburn game to kickoff. "I might not even watch the GeorgiaAuburn game, I might just wait for someone to call me and tell me 'hey you're going to the SEC championship,"' Herring said. "I don't even want to see it, I may get a little too nervous, too hyped." Perhaps Herring will really be watching the Home Shopping Network, because he seems to have a newfound interest in rings. All it will take is a single victory and a little help from.Auburn, and the Gators can have a true shot at winning that championship ring that has eluded them since Spurrier was wearing orange and blue. "I just want a ring real bad," Herring said. "I don't want to buy one. I want to win one." E SIX OF SPURRIER'S RECRUITS PREPARE TO FACE THEIR OL' BALL COACH. By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org Free Shoes University means nothing to him. And he doesn't even know that you can't spell Citrus without UT. The word "Nintendo" meant more to him than the name "Spurrier," as the Fun-N-Gun wreaked havoc on Southeastern Conference defenses. Brandon Siler represents a new generation of Gators, reared in the post-Steve Spurrier era. The linebacker was a high school sophomore during Spurrier's final season at UF in 2001. Still, he's heard a few things. "I heard he was a great coach," Siler said. "I never played for him. I never met him, so I really don't know him and couldn't tell you a lot about him. But from the things I see that's he's done, he's pretty good -real good." He sees things like Spurrier's 1966 Heisman Trophy on display outside of the team's locker room. Things like UF's 1996 National Championship Trophy housed in the bowels of the Swamp. Things like Spurrier's jersey painted on the. interior of the stadium's south end zone. And Siler only has to look beside him for a glimpse at a living relic from UF's football glory days. Redshirt senior linebacker Todd McCullough is one of six holdovers from Spurrier's final recruiting class at UP. Along with safety Jarvis Herring, cornerback Vemell Brown, center Mike Degory, offensive tackle Lance Butler and scout-team offensive lineman Jonathan Marvin, McCullough came to UF with visions of dominating the SEC under Spurrier. Now, they go through the man who drew them to Gainesville in order to possibly secure their first and last shot at a conference title. When the Gators face South Carolina on Saturday with their SEC season on the line, McCullough will gaze across the field to find the coach who facilitated the realization of a life-long dream patrolling the Gamecocks' sideline. "[Playing for UF was something I always wanted to do since I was a small kid, and to get a chance to live out your dream is something that you'll always be grateful of," said McCullough, who is the only one currently on the UF roster to play a down for Spurrier. "Coach Spurrier and his staff gave me that opportunity." McCullough's Ol' Ball Coach will always have a special place in his heart, just not on Saturday "You're going to do everything you can do to beat them, and they're going to do everyliing they can to beat you," McCullough said. "During that time period it's a battle. Afterwards, we can shake hands, but during that time period, it's a ball game." Though he admits he's a Gator 364 days of the year, Spurrier agrees that nostalgia goes out the window come 12:30 Saturday afternoon. "I don't think it will be as big a deal as people will think it will be," he said. "When you're the play-caller, the offensive coach, usually your mind is on the next play." Spurrier was quick to point out he's not the only. coach to face his alma mater. It's not even the first time he's coached against the Gators. Spurrier reminded prodding reporters Sunday that during UF's 0-10-1 season in 1979, he served as an assistant at Georgia Tech, and the Yellow Jackets played the Gators to a 7-7 tie in Gainesville. Of course, that's a little different than standing between a league title and a program he raised to national prominence -a program that still lives in his shadow. "His stamp will always be on this program, and it always should be," UF coach Urban Meyer said. "It's no one's job to try to eliminate that stamp. "You're not trying to eliminate anything. You're just trying to build your own program here." A win Saturday would go a long way to wean UF off its Spurrier dependency. Herring wants to help Gator Nation kick the habit. "Pretty much, all the fans, they want us to go there and kick their behinds," Herring said. "That's all I can say about that." ,who has struggled with boredom now that there has rought of hurricane-looting opportunities. last and certainly least, taking pride as the armpit of ers with a 54-36 record, is Johnnie Cochran appren"I have a different pair of flip flops for each one of > shirts" Fisher, who has signaled the Apocalypse by the Gators to win a toss-up game for the first time in american history. 901%1

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2005 E ALLIGATOit, 27 UraSOCCER Uators to open-NC(DAA NTourney, at home against 1111nois By SPENCER DAVIS-VANNESS Alligator Writer sdvanness@allgator.org Beat Illinois. As the top-seeded UF soccer team (13-5-1) prepares to take on the Mini (11-6-3) in their Friday night opening-round match of the NCAA Tournament, that's the one and only focus. After Central Florida upset UF in a similar first-round situation last season, the Gators know a little bit about trap games. Even the allure of a possible rematch with second-seeded Florida State dangling just one win away won't be distraction to the team, senior forward Jessica Young said. "That was our mistake in the SECs," said Young. of the Gators recent first-round Southeastern Conference Tournament loss to Auburn. "I think we weren't really focused on the game against Auburn versus the tournament as a whole," Young said. "We're not focusing on FSU; we're focusing on Illinois." To find themselves in this position, hosting the Ilini at U, the Gators rode an emotional rollercoaster during the past week. Fresh off their stinging loss to the Tigers, the team returned to Gainesville for a weekend -of grueling practice. On Monday, they gathered for a team meeting as the 2005 NCAA Tournament bracket was announced. And then their wild ride took an upward turn: "We weren't called until the last bracket, and that was really hard because as each bracket was posted, it was just more and more nervousness setting in," Young said. "When we saw our name we were exited, and then when we saw Gainesville, we were shocked," she said. "Everyone was cheering. People were crying. It was exciting." Junior Melanie Booth had a similar reaction to the announcement. ."We were very surprised," Booth said. "I had no doubt we'd be in the tournament, but I didn't think we'd be at home. "I'd have to say we lucked out." Recent history of the NCAA Tournament has been unkind to the UF soccer program. Senior Jessica Young has seen nearly all the postseason has to offer. While the Gators failed to make the bracket in Young's freshman season, they reached the NCAA Elite 8 in 2003. And then there's round loss to UCF ir "The NCAA Tou the time for a I to redefine the with it what yc go with it where to go "I've seen it all here," Young said. "I've really seer variations of how a down." And she isn't co line with history. "Being a senior n make the most of it last year's firstsay it for selfish reasons. .I want to 2004. go as far as we possibly can." Coach Becky Burleigh said the rnament is Gators shouldn't have any trouble ot of people being in the proper mindset for selves. D tournament play after their experiDo ence last weekend. u will, and "It was a slap in the face what e you want happened with Auburn," she said. "You know if you lose that NIAA game, then you're done. If you're a Jessica Young senior, you're done for your career." UF senior With that in mind, the Gators approach the NCAA Tournament with a mix of caution and eagerness. since I've been Tournaments provide a clean slate, providing an opportunity the gamut of to move past records and history, season can go Young said "The NCAA Tournament is the atent to fall into time for a lot of people to redefine themselves," she said. "Do with it ow, you want to what you will, and go with it where ," she said. "I'll you want to go." What could be worse than losing to Spurrier? A re you ready? Can you handle the ultimate slap in the face? Would you survive the coldest bucket of ice water this side of Antarctica? What will you do if Steve Spurrier upsets the Gators? Everyone is blabbering about SEC championship this and Atlanta trip that -as they should -but nobody seems to be dwelling on what could be the harshest loss since Mississippi State undressed UF last season. And wouldn't it be sour because the loss would eliminate UF's first shot at an SEC championship since 2000. If the Gators lose Saturday, Gainesville Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan might as well tab Monday a local bawliday because Gator Nation would still be soaked in tears from losing to SOS. That, or the Spurrierinduced hangovers would give everyone a gut-wrenching case of the Mondays. Losing to Spurrier would be worse than watching Urban Meyer tear his ACL running out of the tunnel. It would be the ultimate embarrassment-no coach could deliver as stinging a defeat, save Ron Zook if he were ever to drug the Gators and defeat UF with his Illi-noise Division III team. Sure everyone loves Spurrier -except for that asterisk. The fine print on every Louis Gator fan's conAnastasis science reads quite Louis in the Bullpen clearly: I shall lanastasis@alligator.org support Stephen Orr Spurrier in all endeavors -football related or not -364 days a year. I shall not be a Stephen Orr Spurrier fan on UFSouth Carolina game day. Why would a loss to the Cock-n-Fire king be so bad? Just rewind to October 2004. Zook is fired and before you can say, "We're getting better," rumors begin swirling about Spurrier's possible return to his Gator Nation throne. While few know exactly how the conversations between Spurrier and UF athletics director Jeremy Foley went, the 01' Ball Coach made no secret that he wasn't opposed to coaching the Gators again. And that was supposed to be it. End of deal, right? Instead Foley pulled the ultimate AD behind the back pass, siccessfully courting bad boy Urban Meyer -college football prodigy and seeming defender of the universe. It is 13 months later, and the verdict is still out on which coach would have been the better fit. Does Spurrier have the physical and mental investment to build a college dynasty? Only time will tell. Can Meyer, given a couple of seasons, implement the spread offense that drove Mountain West opponents silly? Only two more recruiting classes will tell. But Saturday, in the minds of Gators fans, a loss to Spurrier would provide an immediate answer: Foley, you goofed. Spurrier will forever be regarded as the mastermind behind the UF football program. Once he retires from college football, one could even envision a statue of him slamming down a visor sitting outside the Swamp. But try telling Gainesville to cope with losing to a beloved coach the Gators could have hired. Try appeasing the masses of fans who -albeit foolishly -subscribe to the Instant Gratification School of Thought. Despite the injuries and the road venue, the Gators should have the manpower and coaching to pull out the win. God help the man at the helm of Gator Nation if they don't. FootbaI Practice Report HARD RETURNS: Continuing the plan implemented during the Vanderbilt game, the Gators will have wide receiver Chad Jackson return pants agaiestSosth Carolina on Saturday. The Gators have already loot wide receiver Andre Caldwell and cornerback Vernell Brown to special teams' injuries. But because UF coach Urban Meyer places such an ---emphasis on field position, he is not about to have scrubs return hicks aed punts. r We'ye won seven games, and special teams have played a big role," Meyer said. "You don'tjust start changing that. We have to block a little better [for the returners]. Maybe we need more starters in there to block." TARTTTO PLAY: Offensive lineman Jim Tartt, whs has missed the past tins games witha sore shoulder, will likely play Saturday, Meyer said. .Though Tartt has impressed Meyer when healthy, the Gators have established a consistent three-man guard, rotation of Steve Rissler, Tavares Washington and Drew Miller. Uv surrendered four sacks against LSU the last time Tartt i--played. CALDWELL R COVERING: Though Caldwell won't be able to return from his broken leg until next .season he is already on the comeback trail.
