Professor:
State aid
program
too costly
By IVETTE MENDEZ
AlligatorContributing Writer
If it were up to a UF professor, fewer
students would be eligible for the Florida
Bright Futures Scholarship Program.
David Denslow, a UF economics profes-
sor, co-wrote a 461-page report stating the
Bright Futures scholarship should be harder
to obtain so it could last longer.
"Right now, you have to be more or less
literate," he said about the qualifications for
the scholarship.
The Florida lottery pays for the scholar-
ship, and the state budget is constrained by
other programs including
Medicaid, the pre-kin-
dergarten-to-12th-grade
amendment and maintain-
ing jails, he said.
"We are going- to
fall further and further
behind," he said about
Denslow Bright Futures funding.
The amount used on
these programs restricts the amount that can
be put into education.
"We were concerned that the state might
be avoiding some issues," Denslow said.
The report analyzed many aspects of col-
lege funding and tuition from an economic
standpoint.
Denslow also supports raising tuition at
UF, saying the university's goal to be Top
10 is not realistic with tuition and financing
constraints.
UF tuition eventually will lower the
quality of the school because classes are
getting larger and faculty don't have the
resources to individually address students,
Denslow said.
If the legislature allows schools to charge
higher tuition, the legislature ends up pay-

UF lab studies 'the meat we eat'
* THE UNIVERSITY'S MEAT PROCESSING CENTER -
OFFERS CLASSES ON NUTRITION AND HYGIENE.
By CHRISTA WAGERS
Alligator Contributing Writer
UF's Meat Processing Center handles everything from
the farm to the fork when it comes to meat.
As part of the Department of Animal Sciences, meat lab
staff strive to educate both students and the community
about meat in the small processing plant, where mostly
cattle and pigs are slaughtered, cut and sold to individuals
and businesses.
The meat lab is located off Shealy Drive just south of
campus and has been selling meat since the late 1980s.
Michael Lamb, a 22-year-old political science major,
worked at the meat lab for a year.
"I look at my experience at the meat lab as
On the biggest learning experience I could ever
Campus have," Lamb said.
Before working at the meat lab, Lamb was
scared to eat his meat rare. Now, with a better knowledge .
of meat processing, he prefers it rare.
Because technology has pushed society away from pro-
duction and toward consumption, few Americans know V,
what they are eating, especially when it concerns meat,
Lamb said.
The processing center offers five classes on meat. ANS .

processing.
The center is inspected by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture. Byron Davis, one of three full-time staff em-
ployees at the meat lab, said the center also gives free tours
to the public.
"It's kind of like your house," Davis said. "If you keep
your house clean, you don't mind if anyone comes to see it."
The tour shows how the animal is killed and processed
before it becomes a cut of heat.

She moved from Atlanta to Gainesville
three months ago in hopes that her family

The average age of a homeless person

with food, clothing, a shower and shelter,
as well as job and learning programs.

YOUR PROFESSORS' WAR AGAINST THE MIND:
THE BLACK HOLE OF
POST-MODERNISM AND MULTICULTURALISM
Multiculturalism and deconstructionism the twin doctrines of academia's latest assault on reason are working to destroy
students' ability to think and to value. These two movements teach that objectivity is a myth and that all ideas are distorted by the
lens of "race, class, and gender."
In this talk, Dr.- Gary Hull of Duke University explains the essence of Post-Modemism and' how philosophers for the past 200
years have systematically divorced reason from reality, culminating in today's rejection of objectivity.

"Exemptions are case-by-

students have actually stated
they are 'the governor of their

One religion that does forbid

Denslow: State scholarship

ing the tuition for Bright Futures students, but the state can
limit the scholarship, he said.
Theresa Antworth, director of the state scholarship and grant
program, said there will be sufficient funds for Bright Futures
as long as the legislature continues to appropriate funds for it.
Last year, about $268 million of the $1 billion
available from the lottery was awarded in scholar-
Student ship money to students; The rest of the funds were
Life used for other educational programs.
Antworth said the legislature discusses changes
to qualification standards every year, but no changes have been
made since it was enacted.
"I think they are pretty committed to the current standard,"
she said.
The effect of more students receiving the scholarship is that
less money will be given to other educational programs.
"That is the result of it being so successful," Antworth said.
The report was commissioned by the Jessie Ball DuPont
Foundation, a charitable organization that deals with political
policy in Florida.

SG and students
chat over lunch
By STEPHEN MAGRUDER
Alligator Writer
smagruder@alligator.org
More than 100 students ate up the chance to grab free food
Wednesday as they chatted with Student Government leaders.
The lunch event, held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the
President's Dining Room on the fourth floor of the Reitz Union,
allowed students to casually address SG officials one-on-one
about student-group budgets, on-campus
S dining, student fees and parking, among
other concerns.
S, Journalism student Trevor Freimuth, like
many of the students who trickled in and
S out, said he was there for the free food but
wanted to learn more about the officials in
charge of more than $11 million in student
Cosimi money.
"The role of Student Government is a bit
vague to me," he said. "I can't find aniy correlation to myself in
them they just kinda handle my money."
SG Advocacy Director Kyle Epting said the lunch was the
first of what leaders plan as monthly informal dining sessions
with Student Body President Joe Goldberg, Vice President
Joyce Medina and Treasurer Lindsay Cosimi.
The lunch started with students asking questions one at
a time but quickly broke up into smaller group discussions,
which all three officials said they preferred.
"That's just how I am. I'm very informal," Cosimi said.
She said she hoped students attending the meetings would
see that SG leaders are no different from other students.
Several trays of sandwiches, a vegetable platter, a large
basket of chicken strips, various desserts and assorted Pepsi
products were available until about noon.
Officials said that, in the future, the event most likely would
be reduced to a 90-minute session so enough food will be avail-
able to feed the initial rush of students.

Israeli adviser to address beliefs
By ALEX TIEGEN
Alligator Contributing Writer
The senior adviser to the Israeli
prime minister, will defend his be-
lief in Israel's responsibilities as a
democracy in the Middle East at
UF today.
"He works in the government,
so of course he's pro-Israel,"
said Josh Sachs, co-coordinator
for Caravan for Democracy, the
group funding Ra'anan Gissin's
visit. "But if you mean by being
pro-Israel he's anti-Palestine, then
that's not true. I am obviously
pro-Israel, but I think this is a good
way to show there's a chance for
a Palestinian democracy and that
Israel and Palestine can exist side-
by-side."
"Ithink this is a good way to
show there's a chance for a
Palestinian democracy and
that Israel and Palestine
can exist side-by-side."
Josh Sachs
Caravan for Democracy co-coor-
dinator
Gissin worked as a strategic
analyst and spokesman for the
Israeli Defense Forces during the
late '70s and most of the '80s. In
1991, Gissin advised members
of the Israeli delegation at the
Madrid Conference for Peace and
participated in negotiations in the
following years.
Though unaware of Gissin's
visit to UF until Tuesday, Nakba
'48, a UF group advocating
Palestinian rights, argues against
Caravan for Democracy's claim
that Israel is "the only democracy
in .the Middle East" and plans to
boycott the event on the Reitz
Union Colonnade on Thursday.
"Israel is not a democracy,"
said David Reznik, vice president
of Nakba '48. "A state that up-
holds the majority of a cultural or
ethnic group is undemocratic and,
I would even go so far as saying,
is apartheid. This speaker is an
embodiment of Israeli repres-
sion."
The speech will be in the Reitz
Union Rion Ballroom at 7 p.m.
tonight.

SFCC students will get a jump start on interning
beginning in the Spring, and they'll earn college credit
for it.
SFCC is adding an Internship and Career Building
course to its curriculum to help with growing demands
for more job experience.
"Students will walk away from this class with confi-
dence to find a job in a field they feel good about," said
Mary Short, business programs professor.
Students attend two hours a week at SFCC and are
required to complete at least 60 hours of an internship.
"It's important and valuable for students to have

Testing cruelty
United States can help
image with torture bill
W e lose trust in President Bush almost every day.
His stubborn behavior, thinly veiled lies and
alarming inability to address problems within
his administration cause us to doubt how well our govern-
ment really is protecting the United States.
But while Bush constantly tests our patience,
Republicans sometimes emerge as a reasonable group.
The anti-torture bill has illuminated this division be-
tween moderate Republicans and the insane executive
branch. The bill, championed by Republican Sen. John
McCain, would ban torture of prisoners in U.S. custody
abroad.
Most senators wisely support the move how could
anyone deny that torture is bad? but Bush and Cheney
are fighting against it.
The bill is largely for show torture is already banned
by several international agreements. But the implementa-
tion of such a law would send an important message to the
world during a time when U.S. interrogation methods are
under serious attack.
We're not experts on public relations, but even we know
it's political suicide to oppose banning torture. Why is the
Bush administration fighting the bill so publicly? Cheney
even tried to add a provision that would exempt the CIA.
But most of the CIA's actions are already secret, and laws
already broken. Why play by the rules now?
The most popular argument against the bill is that
torture is needed in "ticking timebomb" situations, when
officials must get information out of an informant to stop
imminent attacks. In this case, some argue, torture of one
prisoner could save hundreds or thousands of innocent
lives.
But how do we know when this situation arises?
Officials can easily claim they thought the danger was im-
minent. The exception to the rule might become the rule.
Writing an exemption to the rule within the law opens
dangerous doors. It could turn this bill from a positive
message into a justification for torture.
The war on terrorism is a war of ideas, and the United
States is struggling to keep up an image of goodwill and
justice.
Although officials might consider the bill pointless or
damaging, they can't oppose it without losing ground
ideologically. And appearing as the savior to Saddam
Hussein's devil is increasingly important in Iraq. When
our image becomes smeared with questionable ethics, we
empower the insurgents we fight.-
Furthermore, prisoners under torture will say anything
to stop the pain. It's uncertain whether such methods actu-
ally work.
The United States' image is under attack. Abu Ghraib
left the world questioning how many U.S. soldiers exercise
methods of torture. Rumors of secret CIA prisons made us
wonder what was being done in places invisible to the law.
And the recent acknowledgement that the United States
uses phosphorus bombs gave human-rights groups a rea-
son to suspect civilian endangerment.
The torture bill isn't really about stopping torture. It's
about showing the world that our government is against
torture and dedicated to cleaning up its image.

Discrimination err
On Friday morning, a woman called the Starbucks
that I manage and demanded some of our cups
be removed immediately.. She said the cups had
a quote on them that was extremely offensive, and she
didn't want her teenage daughter or any other patron to
see such distasteful material. She said she had already
written to the company, voicing her complaint, but she
was calling all nearby stores in an attempt to have the
cups removed as soon as possible.
At this point, my curiosity was aroused. What could
good-natured Starbucks possibly have put on a cup that
could have caused this much controversy? Was it a vul-
gar word? Was it something about dirty, trailer-rocking
sex? I could hardly wait.
But when I found the quote that had this customer's
panties in a bunch, I was shocked. The first line read,
"My only regret about being gay is that I repressed it
for so long."
In an era saturated with diversity, it seems as though
our society. is still plagued by overwhelming intoler-
ance and ignorance. I speak only for myself, though I'm
certain there are many who would agree, when I say
this absolute disrespect for human beings disgusts me. I
find bigotry toward any person or group based on their
gender, sex, race, class, ethnicity or sexual orientation
utterly revolting.
The woman who complained about the quote was
terrified of having her daughter see it. But why was she
so scared? Did she think her daughter was going to read
the quote, catch the infamous queer virus and become
a lesbian?
Pardon my naivete, but I was completely unaware
that homosexuality was a disease, and a contagious

Amie Ward one at that. I wonder if they have
U-Wire a vaccine out for that yet? Maybe
if I hurry, I can get it this year with
my flu shot.
My remarks are condescending and patronizing, and
that is exactly what I mean them to be. Sadly, this is the
kind of whacked-out mentality that too large a portion
of our population is walking around with today. I fear
that the complaining customer's daughter, along with
numerous other young adults, are going to, continue to
be raised by closed-minded families that condone preju-
dice like another would advocate brushing one's teeth
three times a day.
Homophobia is socially constructed. Boys and girls
are expected to behave in particular ways and are
harshly criticized when they falter even slightly.
Gender and sex are not the same thing, but because
our culture has historically linked femininity to females
and masculinity to males, we have been raised to be-
lieve these factors are assigned and inseparable. This
is why little girls can't play war and Barbie dolls can
never touch the hands of a young boy. It just wouldn't
be prudent.
Being raised with these biases translates to discrimi-
nation in a variety of contexts.
These uneducated mindsets are the reason why
well-groomed men and male figure skaters are "fags"
and women with short hair who play a sport other than
cheerleading are "dykes." These attitudes are disgust-
ing, nauseating and vile.
Change is necessary that much is obvious.
However, making a change must start with you.

"I think people should be edu-

Alvin Warnick, 84, worked at

St. Francis shelter tries to counteract Gainesville's mean-to-homeless reputation
HOUSE, from page 1
On cold-weather nights, when
the temperature drops below 45
degrees, as many as 200 people will
walk into the shelter seeking food or
other help. Last year, there were 69
cold-weather nights, Vann said.
"It doesn't matter if you are a
man, woman, child or senior," he
said. "We will take
Around you.
r- '2 '. '. :.' Vann noted
that the Salvation
Army only takes men, and that
other shelters discriminate as well.
All a person needs to stay at St.
Francis is police clearance, which
means a person must show some
form of identification to Gainesville
Police to verify that he or she has no
criminal record.
This requirement is what keeps
most people from being able to stay
at St. Francis, Vann said.
According to the National
Coalition for the Homeless 2004 an-
nual report, Gainesville is the fifth
"meanest" city in the country to-
ward homeless people. And Florida
ranks second among states.
In some places, laws exist against
camping, panhandling and loitering
that the report stated were enacted
specifically to target the homeless. ,
"I always try to be nice to home-
less people," UF junior Jennifer
Lamen said. "But I have seen the
occasional college student mess
with them."
Gainesville City Commissioner
Jack Donovan said the coalition's al-
legations are "extremely arbitrary."
He added that Gainesville is one
of the cities that realizes the federal
government isn't going to address
the issue. Just this week, the com-
mission approved the donation of
up to $210,000 to local organizations
benefiting the homeless.
The average person stays at
St. Francis for about two weeks,
Vann said. Because St. Francis is
designated as a special use shelter,
not a permanent one, residents are
evicted after 90 days.
"Alot of them are very hardwork-
ing," he said. "They just need a little
boost to get them back on their feet."
McCullough is scheduled to
leave St. Francis House sometime
this week. She said she plans fo live
with her mom in Gainesville while
waiting for support from the state.
"Things 'were real bad for a
while," McCullough said. "But it's

THE '-
Club Red picks up
Midtown's shows
By RACHEL RYALS
Avenue Writer
As quickly as local music
venue Midtown opened- in the
former Purple Porpoise location,
it has been shut down.
Midtown owner Joe Lezcano
said he did not want to let The
Fest 4 down, but he had to close
the venue because the expenses
were too high.
"We were losing more than
gaining," Lezcano said.
One problem for the venue
was the fact that a liquor license
never came through Nov. 1 as
was promised in the rental sales
pitch, Lezcano said.
"Just selling beer doesn't cut
it," he said.
A new location for Midtown
should open in January, Lezcano
said, but he cannot say where
because no papers have been
signed.
The Fest 4 will not be affected
by the loss of one of its venues,
event organizer Tony Weinbender
said.
The bands scheduled to play
at Midtown have been shifted to
Club Red, 102 SE Second Place,
in the Sun Center. Club Red,
which has been open for only one
month, has about the same ca-
pacity as Midtown, Weinbender
said.
Club Red owner Reese Brown
said he books shows three months
in advance and had to change a
whole weekend's worth of shows
to accommodate The Fest 4.
"We thought about it and de-
cided to help out," Brown said.
"They really needed the venue,
and we wanted to help."

of venues or any other Fest ques-
tions, visit thefestfl.com.

Souls teach others how to rock
BOUN~NG
Bouncing Souls
Bouncing Souls Live
Chunksaah
S The Bouncing Souls'
new live, double-
disc recording is too good to be
used as you would an average
album. Instead, bands should pick
it up and consider it a step-by-step
inspirational "Chicken Soup for
the Punk Soul" guide on how to
rock.
Step 1: Don't bother warming
up a crowd. The beauty of the
Bouncing Souls is they grab you
right away without apologizing.
The first two songs on the first
disc, "Here We Go" and "Sing
Along Forever," are anthemic and
immediate. Top-40 artists would
kill to be so legitimately catchy.
Step 2: Intimately know your
fans and your music. The songs are
about how they could be you and
you could be them, and even songs'
that are just about making songs.
"Kids and Heroes" has the crowd
interaction Green Day strives for.
Once the Souls hit a breakneck
pace, they refuse to let up.
Step 3: Pay homage to your
past. Old tracks like "Joe Lies"
showcase a much younger group,
made up of guys from New Jersey
who intuitively know a great riff
when they play it. A collection
like this makes it obvious that the
Bouncing Souls is one of the few
bands that were good from the
get-go.
Step 4: Have fun. What could
possibly be a more satisfying live
experience than hearing every-
one sing back to you, "I like your
mom and it's not so bad/I want to
marry her and become your dad?"
The band constantly interacts with
each other and the audience, par-
ticularly on the second disc.
Step 5: Be'consistent. Every sin-
gle track on "Bouncing Souls Live"
is full of energy and excitement.
Unlike the case for most double
albums, in this collection neither
disc lags behind the other. Each
is a quality recording of a band at
its tightest, celebrating 19 years of
great music.
Bear vs. Shark
Terrorhawk
Equal Vision Records
Michigan- based
indie band Bear vs.
Shark swaps instru-
ments and sounds like it was
concocted on eBay, with four of
its five members playing multiple
instruments.
Part Fugazi and part At the
Drive-In, the band has high-en-
ergy, driving appeal with infinite
live potential. The first track on *
"Terrorhawk" showcases the
band's ability to maul its prey live
through unconventional melodies
set against basic song structures.
Oddly, th6 band's choice of
less obvious chords and strangely
formed hooks and accents, as heard
in "5, 6 Kids" makes it all the more
enjoyable, though sometimes the
band goes overboard with its noisy
rock.
The song "India Foot" is like the
Beatles' "Revolution 9" compressed
into 25 confusing seconds.
The band's choice of song
titles on "Terrorhawk" is also
bizarre, ranging from- "The Great
Dinosaurs with Fifties Section".
to the strangely serious "I F****d
Your Dad."
- The band reaches its peak with
"Song About Old Roller Coaster,"
which features the most focused-
guitar track on the album along
with the most honest vocals and a
solidly driving bass line.
"Rich People Say Yeah Hey
Hey" wraps up the album just like
it began: full of energy from a band
with a lot of promise in the not-so-
distant future.
DANIELLE LUCEY
Author dreams up next Civil War
DMZ
Brian Wood
DC/Vertigo
A- merica is a war zone.
SAt least it is in Brian Wood's
L new monthly comic from
Vertigo, "DMZ," which depicts the second American
Civil War. Issue No. 2 makes its way to Gainesville on
Dec. 14.
"'DMZ' is absolutely my way of talking about
some aspects of current events, although very fiction-
alized," Wood said in an interview.
"At its core, it's a book about people.
People placed in horrible circum-
stances, but firmly 'people stories,'
or 'New York stories."' t
Manhattan is a demilitarized
zone crunched between New Jersey,
where the free armies lie entrenched, and what's left
of the U.S. government to the east.
Matty Roth is an ignorant undergrad and-intern for
a Nobel Prize-winning journalist who dares to enter
the zone and broadcast from the city cut off from the
* world.,
After the cease-fire abruptly, well, ceases, Matty
finds himself stuck in the zone, his entire crew dead.
With the help of a resident, Zee, Matty lives to see
another day and decides to stay in the zone and show
the world the challenging lives of Manhattan's inhab-
itants.
Bill Hatfield, 52, manager of Florida Bookstore
Volume II, which sells comic books, said that he
picked "DMZ" because he tries to read most of the
new titles that come through the store.
"I found it interesting, although a little sketchy in
the background," Hatfield said. "It kind of implies
that the entire United States is Long Island, and the
rest of the country are the free states, although I'm
sure that's not the case."
Wood said he has encountered "a very vocal mi-
nority" who say the story is very "left," that Wood is
like Michael Moore forcing his "message" and that
"DMZ" is "incredibly antagonistic."
But Wood said he is confused by this accusation as
the first issue of the book portrays both sides of the
conflict as equally nasty and sheds little light on the
bigger picture behind the violence.
"If the book is taking a firm stand in anything, it's a
general anti-war, anti-violence stance, and that's a po-
sition I suspect the vast majority of the world agrees
with," he said.
Painting the grim picture of war-
Karolena trodden New York City is Riccardo
Bielecki Burchielli, an Italian artist making

with the results.
"For a guy that's never set.foot in
NYC, not yet anyway, he's off and running, doing a
great job," Wood said. "'DMZ' is such a world-build-
ing project: set in the future, in a very different sort of
reality than what exists now, and he's really helping
me build that world."
So how long will Matty, the ultimate embedded
journalist, avert death on a monthly basis?
"I firmly believe that all stories need to come to an
end, and eventually 'DMZ' will, but I hope to keep it
going for a number of years," he said.
Wood, who lives in New York, said he loves the
city even though he's decimating it page by page..
"I hope non-New Yorkers can get a feeling from
the book about the city, about the diversity of
people and story and my real love for the place,"
he said.
Hatfield said he would recommend "DMZ" to
others.
"I enjoyed the art, and I like having strong female
characters," Hatfield said. "I'm interested in seeing
the second issue."

Eco's 'Queen'

brilliant mystery
The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana
Umberto Eco
Harcourt Inc.
ST've liked Umberto Eco's work- ever since I
I was about 15. I read his novel, "The Name
of the. Rose," in one mind-bending week-
end, and I've been hooked ever since.
I'm not aware of any other contemporary novelist ca-'
pable of being simultaneously as intelligent and downright
entertaining as Eco. Every novel is an artistic and intellectual
delight (a word I rarely ascribe to a piece of literature, so
take heed), and his latest, "The Mysterious Flame of Queen.
Loana," is no exception.
Eco's narrator is Yambo, a 60-year-old antiquarian
bookseller in Milan who suffers from a form of segre-
gated amnesia. He can't even remember his own face in
the mirror.
Though his entire past has been erased from his mem-
ory, Yambo's textual past, his knowledge of history and
the arts, is left perfectly intact. This makes him capable
of quoting Shakespeare, Dante and Rimbaud in their
original languages at random and at length, though he
still can't recognize his

He returns to his childhood home and discovers a trove
of old comic books, magazines, adventure stories, news
articles, movie stills and records that he figures must have
enchanted him as a boy. He goes on to consume them yet
again in an effort to rediscover himself.
What's really cool (yet another. word I rarely ascribe
to a. piece of literature) .is how Eco provides samples
throughout the novel of Yambo's reading materials, in-
cluding entire pages from children's books and frames
from old comic books.
Of course Yambo's desperate experiment proves ulti-
mately to be something of a failure, for it's not his per-
sonal memory that he's able to rebuild but the collective
memory of his entire generation.
But to what does it all amount? To be honest, I'm not
sure. And I'm not sure I want to be sure.
In one respect, Eco seems to remind us how much
we're tied up in what we've consumed, how our popular
diversions go far beyond mere entertainment, serving to
make us who we are in some fashion or another.
On the other hand, the novel also strikes me as a love
story of sorts.
Eco's novel reminds us that, like Yambo, we tend to
love what we possess, what entertains us and stimulates
us..
At the end of the novel, the fantasy figure of Queen
Loana serves as a counterpart to Lila, Yambo's first love,
whose face he can no longer recall.
I can't help wondering if it's actually the other way
around, if the impossible fantasy figure of Queen Loana is
truly Yambo's long-lost first love.
I don't know % hlat to make of it all, and that's exactly
what's so great about Eco, both in this novel and others.
He doesn't provide simple, ready-made conclusions to
the ideas he presents and relationships he forges.
This is the kind of novel you read with an open, clear
mind, willing to make your own conclusions only to
change them along the way.

Get in line now- the new Xbox 360 is coming to town
By BRETT KELMAN
Avenue Writer
Bill Gates might not be able to move
Christmas, but he's made Nov. 22 look a lot
like Xmas.
That magic day will be the first in a chain of
release dates that will make Microsoft's Xbox
360, the most advanced video-game console
ever, available for the worldwide.
While international console releases are
normally staggered by months, Microsoft
will attempt an unprecedented feat with the
360. The new system will become available in
North America, Europe and Japan all within a
period of three weeks.
Globally, that means 360s come sooner for
all. Locally, it means dedicated gamers may
have to wait.
"When a new system comes out, people
always end up waiting," said Rhino Video
Games Marketing Director Eric Oria.
"And.there are not going to be a lot of these
out there."
Oria said the international release will Wars" films. On Nov. 22, he plans to spend

Oria later added that he would probably buy
his Xbox 360 from Wal-Mart, since it will have
a separate supply that will be, incidentally,
available 10 hours earlier.
But even more daunting than the rarity of
the 360 is the possibility that these first few just
might not work.
UF architecture major David Ettinger
bought an original Xbox right after its release,
and he says it freezes and won't run newer
games. He is one of many Xbox owners who
bought their consoles immediately and claim
their Xboxes are "glitchier" than those of later
shipments.
Courtney Schwind, a public relations con-
tact for Xbox 360, said that "Microsoft does not
comment on rumors or speculation."
Still, problematic 360s are a viable concern.
Wal-Mart has had an Xbox 360 set up for
preview play for almost a month, but Jaber
said it only worked for three days before it
broke, and two Microsoft technicians have
been unable to fix it.
"It isn't a good sign," he said.
IMPROVE FESTIVAL
Eddie C's hosts first ever Gainesville Improv Festival
By MELISSA THOMPSON
Avenue Writer
Chicago and New York City have
long been heralded as the meccas of
improvisational comedy. Not for
long. Gainesville is edging in on the
national improve action.
The first Gainesville Improv
Festival will kick off at 8 tonight at
Eddie C's, 1315 S Main St.
Through Saturday night, the na-
tional festival will showcase premier
improve talent as 15 comedy troupes
from across the country take to the
stage.
"You can go to any town and see
an improve show, but the sheer num-
ber of people performing improve
in Gainesville is huge compared to
most cities," co-executive producer
Skyler Stone said.
The festival is 'the brainchild of
Stone and co-executive producer
Tom O'Donnell. Both men recognize
Gainesville as the growing center of
improve comedy in Florida and hope
to expand the city's recognition na-
tionwide by starting the festival they
plan to hold annually.
"Gainesville is really a unique
environment to learn improve be-
cause we approach it like we are
training for an Olympic sport or a
religious rite," O'Donnell said.,
Each of the five shows will fea-
ture three comedy troupes perform-
ing 25-minute sets showcasing a
variety of improve styles.
Audience members will be able
to make suggestions for a "Whose
Line is it Anyway?" style of short-
form comedy.
Other styles in the lineup are
sketch comedy and long-form
improve where the troupes will act
based on a single suggestion from
the audience.
"It's almost like improvising a
one-act play," Stone said.
Stone and O'Donnell are alumni
of UF's Theatre Strike Force im-
provisational troupe. According
to Stone, students who participate
in the improve class as well as the
comedy club are provided with
superior training that enables them
to go on to more prestigious improve
hubs such as Chicago's Second City
and New York's Upright Citizens
Brigade.
Stone has directed Theatre Strike
Force's touring troupe, the Sunday
Group, for five. years and praises
the Gainesville improve community
for its dedication to teaching the un-
sung art.
"You can come to Gainesville
not knowing anything and advance
farther in improve because there is
always something going on and
someone willing to teach you,"
Stone said.
On Saturday, students and the
Gainesville community can take
advantage of an improve workshop
at noon and 2:30 p.m. for $20.
The workshops will feature guest
instructor Jeff Griggs from Chicago.
Griggs, a veteran of the professional
improve scene, teaches comedy
workshops for a living.
"We have 10 instructors who will
be covering everything from basic
improve concepts, such as listening
and scene work, to more compli-
cated concepts such as long-form
improvisation," O'Donnell said. "So
there will really be something for
everyone."
According to Stone, the work-
shops offer quality training at bar-
gain prices.
"You can go to another city and
pay at least $50 for a professional
workshop," Stone said.
"We're flying a professional in
from Chicago, and participants will
only pay $20."
Ultimately, Stone said he will
measure the festival's success
through audience reaction.
"It'll be successful as long as ev-
eryone has a good time," he said.
Stone and O'Donnell hope to
have the festival annually to pay
back Gainesville's improve com-
munity for everything it has taught
them.
"Skyler and I learned our craft in
Gainesville. We are extremely proud
of that," O'Donnell said. "We will
always do anything we can to help
continue to grow the improve com-
munity."

HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE
Potter fans restlessly anticipate the fourth film
By BRETT KELMAN
Avenue Writer
Feel the pre-movie magic in the air.
Ecstatic fans have spent weeks preparing for their fourth
cinematic trip to Hogwarts. On Friday, both Regal Gainesville
Cinema 14 in Butler Plaza and Gator Cinemas in the Oaks
Mall Plaza will begin showing "Harry Potter and the Goblet
of Fire."
The cinematic adaptation of the fourth book in the largely
popular series by J. K. Rowling.
UF history major Daniel Elwart said he, like many of his
fellow fans, has reread the book again in preparation for see-
ing it on the big screen. Elwart is founder of the Facebook.com
tribute group "I've Read The Harry Potter Books, Instead of
Waiting For The Movies."
"I read the books all the time, whenever I get a spare min-
ute," he said. "I'm just glad this movie is PG-13, because the
book is much darker."
According to Felipe Pimentel, manager of the Blockbuster
Video located on Archer Road, all three of the previous Harry
Potter films have been flying, no pun intended, out of the store
recently.
Pimentel said that Blockbuster normally stocks large num-
bers of a film immediately after its release, then sells off un-
needed copies as the movie becomes old news. But with the
Harry Potter films, Blockbuster held onto its extra copies in
anticipation of their becoming popular again as sequels were
released.
"We know people will see exciting trailers and want to
check it out and catch up," he said.
In fact, the buzz is so big that besides sending employees
garbed in Hogwarts attire to each movie theater on Friday, lo-
cal costume shop Center Stage Costumes & Magic has ordered
more Harry Potter costumes so it can supply fans who want to
dress up for the film.
Daniel Radcliffe, as Harry, and Emma Watson, Hermione, embrace in fear. The cinematic adaptation of the fourth
Harry Potter novel "Harry Potter and,the Goblet of Fire" opens in the United States Friday.
Surprisingly, Sarah Hensley, assistant manager of Barnes &
Noble, said she hasn't noticed a significant spike in sales of the
"Goblet of Fire" book in response to the movie.
"I think a lot of people already caught the Harry Potter train.
When you're already on top, it's hard to surge any higher," she
said Friday.
Hensley explained that anyone who would have bought
"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" in preparation for the
movie probably did so to prepare for the sixth book in the
series, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," released in
July.
Hensley still expected to sell a. lot of copies of "Goblet of
Fire" the last few days before the film's release. She also men-
tioned she had noticed a sudden boom in the sales of a separate
fantasy series, "The Chronicles of Narnia" by C.S Lewis, which
she attributed to the action-packed trailer now appearing in
theaters.
But one UF student no longer needs movie prep.
Potter superfan Hannah Castillo already saw "Goblet of Fire"
at a fan sneak preview in Miami, but she plans to see it again
on opening day
Hesitant to reveal spoilers, she -did promise that
the crucial "graveyard scene" every avid read-
er is waiting to see is portrayed absolutely right.
"I just hope people can keep in mind it's only a two-hour movie
and like an 800-page book," she said.
Coffee fuels UF students
By CHAN TRAN
News Bites
Some of us can't wake up without it. Some
of us can't study if we don't get it. When the
final exam is less than 10 hours away, stu-
dents often turn to a good cup of caffeine, and
luckily, there are plenty of cafes in Gainesville
where students can study and drink coffee.
Good coffee doesn't necessarily imply a
White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino from
Starbucks. Students can get a freshly brewed
cup from places like a book shop, an organic
coffee company or a random kiosk.
The smell of books and tofu greets cus-
tomers at Book Lover's Cafe. The vegan- and
Krishna-friendly restaurant inside the store
brews organic, fair-trade coffee. Organic
coffees are grown without the chemical pes-
ticides and fertilizers that are often used on
large commercial plantations.
While the coffee selection may be small,
Book Lover's Caf6 has plenty of studying
space inside and outside the store. Aside
from the music playing faintly through the
speakers, Book Lover's Caf6 reminds me of
a library where people will shoot you dirty
looks if you raise your 6-inch voice.
If organic is your cup of coffee, Sweetwater
Organic Coffee Company is Florida's first
and only organic and fair-trade coffee roaster.
Fair-trade means workers are guaranteed

a fair price for their labor to earn a living
wage and their communities benefit as well,
. according to Sweetwater Organic Coffee's
Web site. The coffees come from around the
world Indonesia, East Timor, Ethiopia and
Central and South America.
Sweetwater was opened only as a whole-
sale company, but it is in the process of turn-
ing into a coffee bar. In the meantime, custom-
ers are welcome to a complimentary cup from
the free-sample pot.
Late-night studying won't happen at
Sweetwater Organic Coffee, though. The
shop doses at 5 p.m.
For the nearest off-campus coffee shop,
Deja Brew, inside Target Copy, is open every
day until 12:30 a.m. If the humming sound
of the copy machines doesn't faze you, Deja
Brew provides some studying space with its
high bar stools and tables. However, the num-
bers of chairs and tables is limited.
Although nothing too extraordinary, Deja
Brew does serve specialty coffees like vanilla
lattes and chocolate raspberry mochas along
with its regular brewed house coffee.
Maude's Classic Caf6 caters to the social
facet of drinking coffee. With live jazz music
on some nights, outdoor seating and wittily
named gourmet desserts, Maude's is for the
relaxed, chilled crowd or the post-dinner-and-
a-movie daters. At Maude's, it's all about the
atmosphere and the Berliner (cocoa, coffee,
vanilla ice cream and whipped cream).
North on 13th Street is Coffee Culture.
Located next to Gainesville High School,
it appears to be a hangout for the younger
crowd, but there are plenty of booths for
studying.
Those often pressed for time can get a
cup via drive-through at Bay Island Coffee
Company, the "random" kiosk in Butler
Plaza.
Coffee shops in Gainesville are more than
studying rooms and social gatherings. They
provide the resources to help you pass that
final.

Life-threatening illness renews band's musical zeal
O mi Ajamu's life-threaten-
ing encounter stimulated
her vocal chords.
After Ajamu survived an an-
eurysmal dilatation sometime
near 2000, said she became recon-
nected with the importance of
music in her life.
"When I came out of it, I felt
better than I had in years," said
Ajamu, vocalist for the Omi
Ajamu Trio. "It was truly a new
lease on life.".
Ajamu and her longtime friend
Howard Wapner, who plays
piano/guitar in the band, started
playing jazz music together
around the time of Ajamu's re-
lease from the hospital.
"After her recovery, she knew
she needed the music," Wapner
said. "She has the talent, and she
needed to bring that talent to the
world."
Ajamu, mother of -eight chil-
dren and grand-
mother of 17,
grew up with-
music in her life.
"Music was
a central activ-
ity in the home,"
Ajamu said.
Ajamu, classically trained in
piano and knowledge of music
theory, first encountered jazz and
blues music when she stumbled
across an open jam session. She
took the stage and started sing-
ing some traditional songs she
th
took a step away from her classi-
cal training.
"The guys at the jam were
like, 'How does she know those
songs?'" Ajamu said. "It was'like
I didn't even
Vera remember that
Hadzi-Antich I remembered
Playlist those songs
eavenue@alligator.org until we started
going through
the book (of
songs to play)."
Ajamu not only sings tradi-
tional jazz and blues music but
performs some of her original
work. She put her own words
to a song called. "Footprints" by
Wayne Shorter.
In this song, she sings about
things that have happened in
her life.
"We are here doing what we
are ushered to do," Ajamu said.
"When we leave here, we leave
our mark our footprints."
Ajamu said she feels a special
connection with jazz as a form of
expression.
"A lot of people think jazz
is about a bunch of people sit-
ting in a room looking strange,"
Ajamu said. "You need to get to
the point where you understand
the expression of it. There is no
such thing as a wrong note. It's
the ability to make all notes and
intonations blend."
There is a chance to experi-
ence the emotion Ajamu refers to
Friday at the Pontiac Tavern, 232
SE First St. The Omi Ajamu Trio
will start at about 7 p.m.
"This is perfect for right after
work," Wapner said. "No cover,
nice meal, nice atmosphere and
wonderful jazz it's something

well with the trio's music.
"This place is so nice," Ajamu
said. "I get a peaceful vibration
from it."

New play chronicles women's dating, mating woes
A hot Latin mama, an in-your-face
Jewish girl, a Friday night televi-
L ion watcher, an actress with an
abusive boyfriend and a proud, plus-sized
black woman. These are the main players
in Elizabeth Wong's "Dating & Mating in
Modem Times," opening Friday at the Black
Box Theater.
The play consists of 11 monologues per-
formed by 10 very different women who
describe unique situations with men -in in-
triguing and provocative ways. "
"In essence, it's 11 different plays in one,"
said director Kevin Marshall, who is also
director of the UF School of Theatre and
Dance.
The play starts off with the discussion of
ejaculation and ovulation and ends with an
ode to the penis.
Marshall said the play
is wicked-naughty and
follows the school's mis-
sion of diversity, discovery
and risk.
The performance ad-
dresses a number of modem dating dilem-
mas: online romance, speed dating, jealous
boyfriends and falling for men who turn out
to be gay.
"I could have done a much safer play, but
I felt it was important to stretch ourselves,"
Marshall said.
The coziness of the
Gabriella year-old Black Box Theater,
Vigier which seats 200, adds a
Curtain Call sense of intimacy to the
theavenue@alligator.org performance. .
The setting also enhanc-
es the .play's minimalist
realism. The only props in the performance
are a rollaway desk and chair interchanged
between scenes.
"To only have the audience to relate to is a
new, dynamic experience," said Robyn Berg,
who plays Arlene in the first monologue.
The play strives to address the difficulties
women face when dealing with the opposite
sex.
"What I want people to take away from
this are the. struggles of women dating," said
Cancice Alexis Newsum, who plays Jojo.
Marisol Sdnchez-Biez, Rosaura, agrees,
hoping the entire audience will get some-
thing out of the performance.
"I think it is to open up minds," she said.
"It's not just a bunch of chicks talking."

UF MEN'S BASKETBALL
Gators to take on Wake in NYC
By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer
Before Billy Donovan was the dean
of Southeastern Conference coaches,
before he lead UF to the Final Four or
a SEC Tournament championship, he
was a stock broker.
Really.
For six months between his play-
ing days in the Continental Basketball
Association and before joining the
coaching staff at Kentucky with Rick
Pitino, Donovan spent his time, as he
describes it, in a room with a stack of-
cards.
It was an experience during high
school, however, that set him on a dif-
ferent path.
"My high school was right next
to a Long Island Railroad station,"
Donovan said. "And I could remember
all the time guys just lined up in rows
waiting for the train doors to open
up, and in the middle of February,
December, January-it's freezing out
there. You can see the smoke from
puys' breathing.
"The Garden is another
arena. [It's still] 94 feet, two
goals, ten people. We can go
play it in a park and it will be
the exact same basketball."
-Adrian Moss
UF senior
"I just said 'Everyone looks so mis-
erable, like no one's happy, everybody
is miserable every day. And I just said
I don't want to do this, this is not what
I want to do."
That led Donovan to an assistant's
job at Kentucky, a head coaching gig
at Marshall and eventually the head
job at UF.
And for the third time in Donovan's
tenure, the job has led him back to the
financial capital of the world as the
Gators prepare to square-off against
No. 18 Wake Forest tonight in the
semifinals of the Coaches vs. Cancer
Classic.
The Deacons are coming off
less-than-impressive wins against
Mississippi Valley State and George
Mason-the latter in overtime-in
their regional last week.
They are also dealing with the
early departure of guard Chris Paul,
who was selected by the New Orleans
Hornets with the 5t pick in the NBA
Draft.
"Wake Forest has lost some really
good players," Donovan said. "When
Tim Casey Alligator Statt
Coach Billy Donovan earns a technical during the Gators' win against
Albany on Thursday. He's returning home to New York tonight.
you lose an NBA top-five pick as your
point guard, there's always going to be
an adjustment."
On Friday the Gators -will face ei-
ther Syracuse or Texas Tech.
Bobby Knight -led Indiana to a
victory against Syracuse in the 1987
NCAA title game, and Syracuse de-
feated Billy Donovan's Providence
squad in the National Semifinals to get
to the title game.
This weekend provides a reunion
between the three.
And while the Gators may be the
least regarded team of the four, they're
eager to crash the party.
"Why not?" senior Adrian Moss
said after he was asked if UF can win
the tournament. "Executing our style
of play, we're going to run, we're going
to press, we're going to defend, we're
going to rebound and we're going to
be unselfish.. We do that, [and] we can
win."
And for his part, Moss isn't buying
into the hype surrounding Madison
Square Garden.
"I'm from Texas, so the Astrodome
is the big thing for me," Moss said.
"The Garden is pretty much another
arena to me...I went my freshman
year, it smells like old beer to me."
Moss said whathe most remembers
is wanting to take the Jimi Hendrix
poster off the wall on the way to the
locker room because he's a big fan.
When it boils down to it, Moss said,.
the players are still playing the same
game.
"The Garden is another arena," he
said. "[It's still] 94 feet, two goals, ten
people. We can go play it in a park and
it will be the exact same basketball."
Random thoughts fill
Tenacious E's brain
d you hear that? I swore I heard the Century
power play the old-school WWF Undertaker
L theme song after the Gators' conference hopes
were tombstoned in Columbia. Cue Steve Spurrier with
urn and Paul Bearer ensemble, because here are some
random thoughts of the week.
mWith a campus and football team reeling about the
disappointment of yet another season without a trip to
Atlanta, I choose to look at the glass as half full.
When the griping is all said and done, Coach Urban
Meyer is still in his first year in the toughest college
football conference in the nation with only one class of
players that he recruited for his ideal system.
Fans' expectations called for
Ithe Rose Bowl at the beginning
of the season, but the reality of
4 the situation is this for Gator
Nation: quit hating.
The football team has its own
Eric Esteban issues to deal with, but at this
Tenacious E rate of complaining, it could turn
Tenacious E into the next Alabama and Bear
eesteban@alligator.org Bryant situation, where no coach
is good enough for a program
disillusioned with title hopes,
but really engulfed in a lack of leadership.
It wasn't Meyer who missed key tackles and com-
mitted 11 penalties, and while he should be blamed for
slow dancing through an offensive drive late, it's up to
the players to step their game up for FSU and head into
the bowl/recruiting/spring season on a high note.
N UF won't be in a conference championship, but
on Dec. 3 history will be made. The Miami Hurricanes
will likely play against the Florida State Seminoles
once again, but this time it'll be in Jacksonville for the
ACC Championship. Honestly, does Jacksonville call
this the World's Largest Outdoor Criminal Party? Will
complimentary orange jump suits be passed out at The
Landing before the game? Are all 14 of Miami's fans
going to attend the game or will they even be aware
it's happening? Did Bobby Bowden get his 16 hours of
sleep last night? These are things I need to know.
i Tonight will be the first chance for everyone to
get a look at the real Spread'n'Shred on campus the
men's basketball team. When the unranked Gators tip
off at 7 p.m. on ESPN against No. 18 Wake Forest, it is
safe to say this team will be more fun to watch then the
Roberson-Walsh-Lee centered group of a year ago.
Coach Billy Donovan sports four sophomores and
a junior in his starting lineup, but without the afore-
mentioned trio, the Gators are playing a new fast-break
conducive brand of Billy Ball.
Through two cake-walk games, UF is playing un-
selfish basketball, getting assists on 71.1 percent of their
field goal attempts. It was a normal occurrence for cen-
ter Al Horford or small forward Corey Brewer to start
the fast break, and Chris Richard looks like he can be
a force off the bench. If shooting guard Lee Humphrey
can continue to shoot lights out from beyond the arc (9-
14), it will be interesting to see how this team does with
their first challenge of the year.
SThe Santa Fe Community College
men's basketball team struggled
early, but outscored Melbourne by 18
in the second half en route to a 76-
57 victory on Wednesday. Torrance
Walker led SFCC with 21 points.
E The NCAA placed South Carolina
football on three years probation
for violations under former coach
Lou Holtz. The 'Cocks will lose four
scholarships but will remain bowl
eligible.
P 2001: In Steve Spurrier's final game
against FSU as UF coach, the Gators defeat
the Seminoles 37-13. A we6k later they
would face Tennessee with national title
hopes, and fall 34-32 in the Swamp.

Noah returns home in a starring role
By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer
The first Ali-Frazier fight in
1971.
Willis Reed limping onto the
:ourt in Game 7 of the 1970 NBA
Finals.
Mark Messier lifting the
3tanley Cup high over his head
in 1994.
Joakim Noah is all too familiar
with the legendary status of the
building 'that he will be playing
in tonight.
As a teenager, he lived just
20 blocks away from Madison
Square Garden.
As a child living in France, he
had attended games with his fa-
ther when they were vacationing
in New York.
Tonight, Noah will have his
chance to live the dream and
make his mark on New York's
biggest stage.
"That's everybody's dream
in New York is to play in the
Garden," Noah said. "Even when
I talk about it with some of the
guys, they don't re'ize how big
it is to play in an arena with so
much tradition. Muhammad Ali
fighting there, all the great games
over there, there's just so much
tradition."
Famous Roots
Noah was bom in the Big
Apple to 1978's Miss Sweden
Cecilia Rodhe and 1983 French
Open Champion Yannick Noah,
a recent inductee into the Tennis
Hall of Fame.
Noah moved across the Atlantic
Ocean to Paris when he was 3, only
to return to the Big Apple 1D years
later.
And despite his natural athleti-
cism, he wasn't very polished as a
player.
"He was pretty raw," said Bill
McNally, who coached Noah for
two years at Poly Prep Country
Day School in Brooklyn. "But he
was very enthusiastic, and you
could tell that he was athletic,
and he was very coordinated. But
in terms of basketball skill and
basketball I.Q., that wasn't really
there yet."
Noah already stood 6-foot-6
When he transferred to Poly Prep
for his sophomore year from the
United Nations International
- School, but McNally said it was his
effort and willingness to learn that
most aided in his development.
"He's the hardest worker I've
ever had," McNally said. "He was
like a sponge. He really wanted to
learn every little drill, every little
thing he could do to get better."
McNally credited a tremendous
amount of Noah's desire to his
upbringing.
"He kind of has an individ-
ual athlete's approach to a team
game," McNally said. "I think
that's a big asset to him.
"His father being such a great
tennis player if you're a tennis
player, it's not like you have other
people around you to push you as
much. It's got to really come from
inside, and I think his self-motiva-
tion is a big part of his develop-
ment." -
- And his background also
landed him the nickname of "The
Noble One" as he played along-
side NBA players Ron Artest,
Jason Terry and Jamaal Tinsley at
New York's famed Rucker Park
this past summer.
"It's a great experience every
single time playing in New York,"
Noah said. "They have a survival-
of-the-fittest mentality, and I feel
like being out there for a month
definitely helped me get my swag-
ger back. It was just a great oppor-
tunity."
A Tough Start
That swagger may have evapo-
rated last season when Noah
saw little action in UF's crucial
games down the stretch and
barely played in the Southeastern
Conference and NCAA tourna-
ments.
UF coach Billy D6novan re-
members Noah's disappointment.
"He was a kid at the end of
last year that was completely
devastated, and he was very, very
emotional," Donovan said. "He
was so competitive and passion-
ate and he wanted to play."
Noah's play earlier in the
season had been slowed after
he contracted mono, and he was
also buried behind David Lee, Al
Horford and others on the depth
chart.
After not playing in UF's
NCAA opening-round victory
against Ohio, he watched film
with'Donovan in his hotel room,
distraught that he didn't get an
opportunity to play in the game.
"I told him last year when we
were sitting in the hotel room,
'Jo, this season is going to end,'"
Donovan said. "And David Lee is
going to be gone, and right now
it's about you learning, it's not
about you getting playing time..
"He wanted to play, but he
understood why he wasn't...and
I think ever since that talk, his
focus has totally changed because
I think he realizes that [he's] going
to be relied upon now."
Homecoming
Now, with Noah being counted
on to produce on a night-in night-
out basis, he has responded in the
early going. He poured in a career-
high 17 points against Albany last
week to secure UF's place in The
World's Most Famous Arena.
"I've been dreaming about this
for a long time," Noah said after
that game. "It's finally here, and
Tim Casey/ Alligator Staff
Bruno Silva can only watch as
Joakim Noah goes for the layup
in UF's exhibition win against
West Florida on Nov. 4. After
a year on the -bench, Noah is
a starter and has a chance to
shine.
it's just a great feeling to be able
to go home. I'm going to need a
budget for tickets."
His enthusiasm for the experi-
ence has not been lost on his team-
mates.
"That's all he's been talking
about ever since we beat Albany,"
Taurean Green said. "In the locker
room, he was like, 'We're going to
New York! We're going to New
York!'"
And since Noah already
plays with heightened emotions,
Donovan is concerned that he may
try to do too much in front of the
hometown crowd.
"He is a guy I'm somewhat
concerned about," Donovan said.
"I think anytime a player goes
home for the first time and you get
a chance to play in front of family
and friends, sometimes you really
add some pressure on yourself.
"Jo's an excitable guy, and I
think he can sometimes get too
emotional. So keeping him on
an even keel here will be impor-
tant."
For a kid from New York, how-
ever, there is nothing bigger than
playing on this stage, and Noah,
who received about 35 ticket re-
quests, will be living the dream the
next two days:
"That's the dream, for a New
York City kid to play in..the
Garden," said McNally, who will
be attending both games. "You
grow up going there, and obvious-
ly Joakim would go there to watch
the Knicks, so that's kind of like
the Mecca of New York City. That's
the ultimate court to play on.
"I think for a kid from New
York, if they could play anywhere
in the world, that would be where
they would play "'
Tim Casey. Alligator Statl
Joakim Noah muscles his way to the paint in UF's exhibition win against Embry-Riddle on Nov. 1. Noah's
hometown family and friends can watch the New Yorker up close tonight when the Gators face Wake
Forest at Madison Square Garden in the semi-finals of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic.

UF SWIMMING
Swimmer making waves at UF
By RACHEL ROBINS
Alligator Writer
As he leaps into the water, he takes
one deep breath and focuses only on
the wall ahead. Once he finishes the
race, he gets out of the pool, quietly
goes about his business and jumps in
again.
This is a typical scenario for UF
swimmer Darian Townsend. Traveling
under water, Townsend has gone
almost unnoticed as he has become a
premier athlete on UF's swim team,
and that suits him just fine.
"I am quiet, focused, calm, and I try
not to let things bother me," Townsend
said.
A sophomore, Townsend was part
of the South African 4x100 freestyle
relay team that took gold and broke a
world record at the 2004 Olympics.
"It was unbelievable just to qualify,
and to win a gold medal and break a
world record," Townsend said.
As a high school student, Townsend
dabbled in many sports besides swim-
ming. He played rugby, cricket, hockey
and soccer.

Genetically, however, it was almost
predetermined that he would compete
in water polo and swimming. His
mother is a swimming instructor and
his dad played water polo. Eventually,
Townsend had to decide which parent's
passion to pursue whole-heartedly.
"Even though swimming is small,
water polo ig even
smaller in South
Africa," Townsend
said.
Townsend began
to focus on swim-
ming fuitll time.
Soon, his coach
Townsend in South Africa e-
mailed UF, and then
Townsend began corresponding with
UF by e-mail.
"I am not a cold climate person, so
Florida was a logical place," he said.
Becoming a United States resident
and a UF student was not an easy tran-
sition for the now 21-year-old athlete.
"I miss my mom's food," Townsend
said.
Adjusting to UF's coaching staff
wasn't any easier.
"If I had a bad day in South Africa,
they left me alone," Townsend said.
"Here coaches let me know I am having
a bad day and don't leave me alone."
However, Townsend said that he
now understands the coaches here and
the situation has improved.
"He's very intense and directed,"
UF swimming coach Gregg Troy said.
"He knows what he wants to do and is
very much a perfectionist."
Townsend also has figured out how
to balance sports and academics.
He wakes up before the crack of
dawn and practices twice a day once
at 6 a.m. and again at 2 p.m. He also
likes to fall asleep to Nip/Tuck.
However, there are days when he's
just like every other UF student. He at-
tends UF football games, although he
admits he leaves early.
After college he hopes to compete in
the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and then
turn professional. One person already
thinks that Townsend will leave perma-
nent waves in UF's swimprogram.
"He has the skills to be the best,"
Troy said. "He is just scratching the
surface."

UF VOLLEYBALL
Seniors say 'bye' to 0-Dome
By BRYAN JONES
Alligator Writer
As the volleyball fans at the
O'Connell Center showed their
appreciation for four years of hard
work and success, tears began to
stream down Jane Collymore's
face.
"It was emotional," said the
two-time All-American. "I told
Myself that I wasn't going to cry,
but when I stepped out there it felt
right."
Collymore and fellow senior
captain Rachel Engel were hon-
ored prior to last Sunday's match
against Mississippi State-the last
regular season home match of their
UF careers.
"Both of them are playing the
best volleyball of their careers,
which is exactly what we want as
coaches-by their senior year to be
playing their very best volleyball,"
Wise said.
"As I told their parents when
their parents talked before the
match about how much they
are going to miss being here, I
said, 'I'll know when I will really
miss them-next year, come next
August when they are not on the
court.'"
Presented with framed replica
jerseys, the O-Dome fans roared in
appreciation for the two seniors.
"We. just want to really
go out, play hard and try
to let them go out with a
bang."
Amber McCray
UF opposite hitter
"You get chills in a situation like
that," said Engel, who is on pace to
break the Southeastern Conference
record for digs in a season.
But don't try telling Wise they
have played their last home game.
"We hope not," Wise said.
Should the Gators impress the
selection committee for the NCAA
Tournament, UF would host the
opening rounds of the tournament,
which would give Collymore and
Engel an opportunity to clinch a
Sweet 16 berth in their O'Connell
Center finale.
The Gators will head. into the
SEC Tournament with the knowl-
edge that an impressive showing
would all but seal the deal.
"Our seniors have been so spe-
cial to us throughout their whole
careers," opposite hitter Amber
McCray said. "We just want to re-
ally go out, play hard and try to let
them go out with a bang."
Collymore's goals for the
Gators range far beyond being an
NCAA Tournament host, however.
Collymore thinks this could be the
-team that finally brings UF its first
national championship.
"This team is the best I have
played on," Collymore said. "
[Winning a national champion-
.ship] is something Florida has
never done, and everyone wants to
go out saying that they have done
something that no other team has
been able to do. That would be a
great legacy to leave behind."

Visser will tower over Horford, but his 6-foot-11 frame is deceiving. A scrappy player,-
Visser prefers jumpers over hook shots although his post game scoring has been on
the rise. Don't expect much in the points department, but Visser could give Horford

VOLUI ME 00 iSSUE 6~t Professor., By IVETTE MENDEZ AlligatorfContributing Writer If it were up to a UF professor, fewer students would be eligible for the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program. David Denslow, a UF economics professor, co-wrote a 461-page report stating the Bright Futures scholarship should be harder to obtain so it could last longer. "Right now, you have to be more or less literate," he said about the qualifications for the scholarship. The Florida lottery pays for the scholarship, and the state budget is constrained by other progr a including Medicaid, the pre-kindergarten-to-12th-grade amendment and maintaining jails, he said. "We are going to fall further and further behind," he said about Denslow Bright Futures funding. The amount used on these programs restricts the amount that can be put into education. "We were concerned that the state might be avoiding some issues," Denslow said. The report analyzed many aspects of college funding and tuition from an economic standpoint. Denslow also supports raising tuition at UF, saying the university's goal to be Top 10 is not realistic with tuition and financing constraints. UF tuition eventually will lower the quality of the school because classes are getting larger and faculty don't have the resources to individually address students, Denslow said. If the legislature allows schools to charge higher tuition, the legislature ends up paySEE BRIGHT, PAGE 4 E loakim Noah will return home tonight as UF faces Wake Forest in New York's Madison Square Garden.

By CHRISTA WAGERS Alligator Contributing Writer UF's Meat Processing Center handles everything from the farm to the fork when it comes to meat. As part of the Department of Animal Sciences, meat lab staff strive to educate both students and the community about meat in the small processing plant, where mostly cattle and pigs are slaughtered, cut and sold to individuals and businesses. The meat lab is located off Shealy Drive just south of campus and has been selling meat since the late 1980s. Michael Lamb, a 22-year-old political science major, worked at the meat lab for a year. "I look at my experience at the meat lab as On the biggest learning experience I could ever Campus have," Lamb said. Before working at the meat lab, Lamb was scared to eat his meat rare. Now, with a better knowledge of meat processing, he prefers it rare. Because technology has pushed society away from production and toward consumption, few Americans know what they are eating, especially when it concerns meat, Lamb said. The processing center offers five classes on meat. ANS 2002, "The Meat We Eat," which is open to all students, is an overview of meat nutrition, grading, selection and processing. The center is inspected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Byron Davis, one of three full-time staff employees at the meat lab, said the center also gives free tours # to the public. "It's kind of like your house," Davis said. "If you keep your house clean, you don't mind if anyone comes to see it." The tour shows how the animal is killed and processed before it becomes a cut of meat.

"Some medicines are tions at the Student Health Care by the church that says have immunizations," said Rob derived directly from blood." By WILL PAFFORD Alligator Contributing Writer UF may say students need the needles, but exceptions can be made for those who answer to a higher authority. Before attending UF, all students are required to show they have received measles, rubella, Hepatitis B and meningitis vaccmes. The exception is when a stu-, dent is granted a religious exemption. Center, has talked with many of the students who have requested religious exemptions. "Exemptions are case-bycase," Pecora said. "In the past, students have actually stated they are 'the governor of their [bodies]' and therefore decline vaccines, or they are 'chemical free' and wish to remain so." However, throughout the major religions, it is difficult to find a group that opposes or forbids vaccinations. Historically, the Christian Scientist faith has been controyou canrtot have immunizations. Each Christian Scientist would handle that differently based on their different beliefs." Rob Vanderlike Ocala First Church of Christ, Scientist spokesman versial because of cases in which parents would deny medical treatment for their children, instead relying on faith-based healing through prayer. Vanderlike, spokesman for First Church of Christ, Scientist in Ocala. "Each Christian Scientist would handle that differently based on their different beliefs." One religion that does forbid certain medicines based on beliefs is the Jehovah's Witnesses faith. Many vaccines are made by using animal cells to grow viruses, and this process has had complications within the Jehovah's Witnesses' belief system. "The Bible says not to take blood," said the Rev. Larry Clark Clark said he was immunized as a child and that his children are immunized. The request for religious exemptions from immunizations by students is a personal matter for each student. However, these choices can put the student body at higher risk. If students were to travel to an undeveloped country and they had not been immunized, they could come back with the measles or rubella virus, Pecora said. Denslow: State scholarship program too easy to attain BRIGHT, from page 1 ing the tuition for Bright Futures students, but the state can limit the scholarship, he said. Theresa Antworth, director of the state scholarship and grant program, said there will be sufficient funds for Bright Futures as long as the legislature continues to appropriate funds for it. Last year, about $268 million of the $1 billion available from the lottery was awarded in scholarent ship money to students. The rest of the funds were used for other educational programs. Antworth said the legislature discusses changes to qualification standards every year, but no changes have been made since it was enacted. "I think they are pretty committed to the current standard," she said. The effect of more students receiving the scholarship is that less money will be given to other educational programs. "That is the result of it being so successful," Antworth said. The report was commissioned by the Jessie Ball DuPont Foundation, a charitable organization that deals with political policy in Florida. David Denslow, UF economics professor, said he believes the standards for the Florida Bright Futures scholarship are too low.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 5 ON CAMPUS Israeli adviser to address beliefs SG and students chat over lunc h By STEPHEN MAGRUDER Alligator Writer smagruder@alligator.org More than 100 students ate up the chance to grab free food Wednesday as they chatted with Student Government leaders. The lunch event, held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the President's Dining Room on the fourth floor of the Reitz Union, allowed students to casually address SG officials one-on-one about student-group budgets, on-campus -dining, student fees and parking, among other concerns. Journalism student Trevor Freimuth, like many of the students who trickled in and out, said he was there for the free food but wanted to learn more about the officials in charge of more than $11 million in student cosimi money. "The role of Student Government is a bit vague to me," he said. "I can't find any correlation to myself in them -they just kinda handle my money." SG Advocacy Director Kyle Epting said the lunch was the first of what leaders plan as monthly informal dining sessions with Student Body President Joe Goldberg, Vice Piesident Joyce Medina and Treasurer Lindsay Cosini. The lunch started with students asking questions one at a time but quickly broke up into smaller group discussions, which all three officials said they preferred. "That's just how I am. I'm very informal," Cosini said. She said she hoped students attending the meetings would see that SG leaders are no different from other students. Several trays of sandwiches, a vegetable platter, a large basket of chicken strips, various desserts and assorted Pepsi products were available until about noon. Officials said that, in the future, the event most likely would be reduced to a 90-minute session so enough food will be available to feed the initial rush of students.

6, ALLIGATOR S THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2005 Edito-ial Testing cruelty United States can help image with torture bill W e lose trust in President Bush almost every day. His stubborn behavior, thinly veiled lies and alarming inability to address problems within his administration cause us to doubt how well our government really is protecting the United States. But while Bush constantly tests our patience, Republicans sometimes emerge as a reasonable group. The anti-torture bill has illuminated this division between moderate Republicans and the insane executive branch. The bill, championed by Republican Sen. John McCain, would ban torture of prisoners in U.S. custody abroad. Most senators wisely support the move -how could anyone deny that torture is bad? -but Bush and Cheney are fighting against it. The bill is largely for show -torture is already banned by several international agreements. But the implementation of such a law would send an important message to the world during a time when U.S. interrogation methods are under serious attack. We're not experts on public relations, but even we know it's political suicide to oppose banning torture. Why is the Bush administration fighting the bill so publicly? Cheney even tried to add a provision that would exempt the CIA. But most of the CIA's actions are already secret, and laws already broken. Why play by the rules now? The most popular argument against the bill is that torture is needed in "ticking timebomb" situations, when officials must get information out of an informant to stop imminent attacks. In this case, some argue, torture of one prisoner could save hundreds or thousands of innocent lives. But how do we know when this situation arises? Officials can easily claim they thought the danger was imminent. The exception to the rule might become the rule. Writing an exemption to the rule within the law opens dangerous doors. It could turn this bill from a positive message into a justification for torture. The war on terrorism is a war of ideas, and the United States is struggling to keep up an image of goodwill and justice. Although officials might consider the bill pointless or damaging, they can't oppose it without losing ground ideologically. And appearing as the savior to Saddam Hussein's devil is increasingly important in Iraq. When our image becomes smeared with questionable ethics, we empower the insurgents we fight. .Furthermore, prisoners under torture will say anything to stop the pain. It's uncertain whether such methods actually work. The United States' image is under attack. Abu Ghraib left the world questioning how many U.S. soldiers exercise methods of torture. Rumors of secret CIA prisons made us wonder what was being done in places invisible to the law. And the recent acknowledgement that the United States uses phosphorus bombs gave human-rights groups a reason to suspect civilian endangerment. The torture bill isn't really about stopping torture. It's about showing the world that our government is against torture and dedicated to cleaning up its image. the independent florid 1 9 m Mike Gimignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR Emily Yehle OPINIONS EDITORTom Durrenberger, Scott Gilton, Andrew Meyer EDITORIAL BOARD The Alligator encourages comments from readers.

Opinions Guest column Discrimination em n Friday morning, a woman called the Starbucks that I manage and demanded some of our cups be removed immediately. She said the cups had a quote on them that was extremely offensive, and she didn't want her teenage daughter or any other patron to see such distasteful material. She said she had already written to the company, voicing her complaint, but she was calling all nearby stores in an attempt to have the cups removed as soon as possible. At this point, my curiosity was aroused. What could good-natured Starbucks possibly have put on a cup that could have caused this much controversy? Was it a vulgar word? Was it something about dirty, trailer-rocking sex? I could hardly wait. But when I found the quote that had this customer's panties in a bunch, I was shocked. The first line read, "My only regret about being gay is that I repressed it for so long." In an era saturated with diversity, it seems as though our society is still plagued by overwhelming intolerance and ignorance. I speak only for myself, though I'm certain there are many who would agree, when I say this absolute disrespect for human beings disgusts me. I find bigotry toward any person or group based on their gender, sex, race, class, ethnicity or sexual orientation utterly revolting. The woman who complained about the quote was terrified of having her daughter see it. But why was she so scared? Did she think her daughter was going to read the quote, catch the infamous queer virus and become a lesbian? Pardon my naivete, but I was completely unaware that homosexuality was a disease, and a contagious ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/opinions bedded in society Arnie Ward one at that. I wonder if they have U-Wire a vaccine out for that yet? Maybe if I hurry, I can get it this year with my flu shot. My remarks are condescending and patronizing, and that is exactly what I mean them to be. Sadly, this is the kind of whacked-out mentality that too large a portion of our population is walking around with today. I fear that the complaining customer's daughter, along with numerous other young adults, are going to continue to be raised by closed-minded families that condone prejudice like another would advocate brushing one's teeth three times a day. Homophobia is socially constructed. Boys and girls are expected to behave in particular ways and are harshly criticized when they falter even slightly. Gender and sex are not the same thing, but because our culture has historically linked femininity to females and masculinity to males, we have been raised to believe these factors are assigned and inseparable. This is why little girls can't play war and Barbie dolls can never touch the hands of a young boy. It just wouldn't be prudent. Being raised with these biases translates to discrimination in a variety of contexts. These uneducated mindsets are the reason why well-groomed men and male figure skaters are "fags" and women with short hair who play a sport other than cheerleading are "dykes." These attitudes are disgusting, nauseating and vile. Change is necessary -that much is obvious. However, making a change must start with you.

St. Francis shelter tries to counteract Gainesville's mean-to-homeless reputation H OUSE, from page 1 On cold-weather nights, when the temperature drops below 45 degrees, as many as 200 people will walk into the shelter seeking food or other help. Last year, there were 69 cold-weather nights, Vann said. "It doesn't matter if you are a man, woman, child or senior," he said. "We will take Aroun d you.", ___n_ youVann noted that the Salvation Army only takes men, and that other shelters discriminate as well. All a person needs to stay at St. Francis is police clearance, which means a person must show some form of identification to Gainesville Police to verify that he or she has no criminal record. This requirement is what keeps most people from being able to stay at St. Francis, Vann said. According to the National Coalition for the Homeless 2004 annual report, Gainesville is the fifth "meanest" city in the country toward homeless people. And Florida ranks second among states. In some places, laws exist against camping, panhandling and loitering that the report stated were enacted specifically to target the homeless. "I always try to be nice to homeless people," UF junior Jennifer Lamen said. "But I have seen the occasional college student mess with them." Gainesville City Commissioner Jack Donovan said the coalition's allegations are "extremely arbitrary." He added that Gainesville is one of the cities that realizes the federal government isn't going to address the issue. Just this week, the commission approved the donation of up to $210,000 to local organizations benefiting the homeless. The average person stays at St. Francis for about two weeks, Vann said. Because St. Francis is designated as a special use shelter, not a permanent one, residents are evicted after 90 days. "Alot of them are very hardworking," he said. "They just need a little boost to get them back on their feet." McCullough is scheduled to leave St. Francis House sometime this week. She said she plans to live with her mom in Gainesville while waiting for support from the state. "Things -were real bad for a while," McCullough said. "But it's all up from here."

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 9 By RACHEL RYALS Avenue writer As quickly as local music venue Midtown opened in the former Purple Porpoise location, it has been shut down. Midtown owner Joe Lezcano said he did not want to let The Fest 4 down, but he had to close the venue because the expenses were too high. "We were losing more than gaining," Lezcano said. One problem for the venue was the fact that a liquor license never came through Nov. 1 as was promised in the rental sales pitch, Lezcano said. "Just selling beer doesn't cut it," he said. A new location for Midtown should open in January, Lezcano said, but he carnot say where because no papers have been signed. The Fest 4 will not be affected by the loss of one of its venues, event organizer Tony Weinbender said. The bands scheduled to play at Midtown have been shifted to Club Red, 102 SE Second Place, in the Sim Center. Club Red, which has been open for only one month, has about the same capacity as Midtown, Weinbender said. Club Red owner Reese Brown said he books shows three months in advance and had to change a whole weekend's worth of shows to accommodate The Fest 4. "We thought about it and decided to help out," Brown said. "They really needed the venue, and we wanted to help."

10, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2005 AUDIOLOGY hM Souls teach others how to rock Bouncing Souls Bouncing Souls Live Chunksaah The Bouncing Souls' new live, doubledisc recording is too good to be used as you would an average album. Instead, bands should pick it up and consider it a step-by-step inspirational "Chicken Soup for the Punk Soul" guide on how to rock. Step 1: Don't bother warming up a crowd. The beauty of the Bouncing Souls is they grab you right away without apologizing. The first two songs on the first disc, "Here We Go" and "Sing Along Forever," are anthemic and inmediate. Top-40 artists would kill to be so legitimately catchy. Step 2: Intimately know your fans and your music. The songs are about how they could be you and you could be them, and even songs that are just about making songs. "Kids and Heroes" has the crowd interaction Green Day strives for. Once the Souls hit a breakneck pace, they refuse to let up. Step 3: Pay homage' to your past. Old tracks like "Joe Lies" showcase a much younger group, made up of guys from New Jersey who intuitively know a great riff when they play it. A collection like this makes it obvious that the Bouncing Souls is one of the few bands that were good from the get-go. Step 4: Have fun. What could possibly be a more satisfying live experience than hearing everyone sing back to you, "I like your mom and it's not so bad/I want to marry her and become your dad?" The band constantly interacts with each other and the audience, particularly on the second disc. Step 5: Be-consistent. Every single track on "Bouncing Souls Live" is full of energy and excitement. Unlike the case for most double albums, in this collection neither disc lags behind the other. Each is a quality recording of a band at its tightest, celebrating 19 years of great music. Bear vs. Shark Terrorhawk Equal Vision Records Michigan -b-as e d '' die band Bear vs. Shark swaps instruments and sounds like it was concocted on eBay, with four of its five members playing multiple instruments. Part Fugazi and part At the DMZ Brian Wood DC/Vertigo merica is a war zone. At least it is in Brian Wood's new monthly comic from Vertigo, "DMZ," which depicts the second American Civil War. Issue No. 2 makes its way to Gainesville on Dec. 14. "'DMZ' is absolutely my way of talking about some aspects of current events, although very fictionalized," Wood said in an interview. "At its core, it's a book about people. People placed in horrible circumstances, but firmly 'people stories,' or 'New York stories."' Manhattan is a demilitarized zone crunched between New Jersey, where the free armies lie entrenched, and what's left of the U.S. government to the east. Matty Roth is an ignorant undergrad and intern for a Nobel Prize-winning journalist who dares to enter the zone and broadcast from the city cut off from the -world., After the cease-fire abruptly, well, ceases, Matty finds himself stuck in the zone, his entire crew dead. With the help of a resident, Zee, Matty lives to see another day and decides to stay in the zone and show the world the challenging lives of Manhattan's inhabitants. Bill Hatfield, 52, manager of Florida Bookstore Volume II, which sells comic books, said that he picked "DMZ" because he tries to read most of the new titles that come through the store. "I found it interesting, although a little sketchy in the background," Hatfield said. "It kind of implies that the entire United States is Long Island, and the rest of the country are the free states, although I'm sure that's not the case." Drive-In, the band has high-energy, driving appeal with infinite live potential. The first track on "Terrorhawk" showcases the band's ability to maul its prey live through unconventional melodies set against basic song structures. -Oddly, the band's choice of less obvious chords and strangely formed hooks and accents, as heard in "5, 6 Kids" makes it all the more enjoyable, though sometimes the band goes overboard with its noisy rock. The song "India Foot" is like the Beatles' "Revolution 9" compressed into 25 confusing seconds. The band's choice of song titles on "Terrorhawk" is also bizarre, ranging from "The Great Dinosaurs with Fifties Section" to the strangely serious "I F****d Your Dad." The band reaches its peak with "Song About Old Roller Coaster," which features the most focused. guitar track on the album along with the most honest vocals and a solidly driving bass line. "Rich People Say Yeah Hey Hey" wraps up the album just like it began: full of energy from a band with a lot of promise in the not-sodistant future. ~ -DANIELLE LUCEY Wood said he has encountered "a very vocal minority" who say the story is very "left," that Wood is like Michael Moore forcing his "message" and that "DMZ" is "incredibly antagonistic." But Wood said he is confused by this accusation as the first issue of the book portrays both sides of the conflict as equally nasty and sheds little light on the bigger picture behind the violence. "If the book is taking a firm stand in anything, it's a general anti-war, anti-violence stance, and that's a position I suspect the vast majority of the world agrees with," he said. Painting the grim picture of warKarolena trodden New York City is Riccardo Bielecki Burchielli, an Italian artist making Get Graphic his American comic book debut, theavenue@aligator.org and Wood couldn't be more pleased with the results. "For a guy that's never set foot in NYC, not yet anyway, he's off and running, doing a great job," Wood said. "'DMZ' is such a world-building project: set in the future, in a very different sort of reality than what exists now, and he's really helping me build that world." So how long will Matty, the ultimate embedded journalist, avert death on a monthly basis? "I firmly believe that all stories need to come to an end, and eventually 'DMZ' will, but I hope to keep it going for a number of years," he said. Wood, who lives in New York, said he loves the city even though he's decimating it page by page. "I hope non-New Yorkers can get a feeling from the book about the city, about the diversity of people and story and my real love for the place," he said. Hatfield said he would recommend "DMZ" to others. "I enjoyed the art, and I like having strong female characters," Hatfield said. "I'm interested in seeing the second issue." OFF THE PRESS Eco's 'Queen' deI h ts, retains brillianlt ilystery The Mysterious Flane of Queen Loana Umberto Eco Harcourt Inc. ve liked Umberto Eco's workever since I was about 15. I read his novel, "The Name of the.Rose," in one mind-bending weekend and I've been hooked ever since. I'm not aware of any other contemporary novelist capable of being simultaneously as intelligent and downright entertaining as Eco. Every novel is an artistic and intellectual delight (a word I rarely ascribe to a piece of literature, so take heed), and his latest, "The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana," is no exception. Eco's narrator is Yambo, a 60-year-old antiquarian bookseller in Milan who suffers from a form of segregated amnesia. He can't even remember his own face in the mirror. Though his entire past has been erased from his memory, Yambo's textual past, his knowledge of history and the arts, is left perfectly intact. This makes him capable of quoting Shakespeare, Dante and Rimbaud in their original languages at random and at length, though he still can't recognize his James own wife. With has memory Fleming gone, Yambo sets out ffthe Pgrrg to rebuild and recall his life throughthe many books he has read. He returns to his childhood home and discovers a trove of old comic books, magazines, adventure stories, news articles, movie stills and records that he figures must have enchanted him as a boy. He goes on to consume them yet again in an effort to rediscover himself. What's really cool (yet another word I rarely ascribe to a piece of literature) is how Eco provides samples throughout the novel of Yambo's reading materials, including entire pages from children's books and frames from old comic books. Of course Yambo's desperate experiment proves ultimately to be something of a failure, for it's not his personal memory that he's able to rebuild but the collective memory of his entire generation. But to what does it all amount? To be honest, I'm not sure. And I'm not sure I want to be sure. In one respect, Eco seems to remind us how much we're tied up in what we've consumed, how our popular diversions go far beyond mere entertainment, serving to make us who we are in some fashion or another. On the other hand, the novel also strikes me as a love story of sorts. Eco's novel reminds us that, like Yambo, we tend to love what we possess, what entertains us and stimulates us. At the end of the novel, the fantasy figure of Queen Loana serves as a counterpart to Lila, Yambo's first love, whose face he can no longer recall. I can't help wondering if it's actually the other way around, if the impossible fantasy figure of Queen Loana is truly Yambo's long-lost first love. I don't know what to make of it all, and that's exactly what's so great about Eco, both in this novel and others. He doesn't provide simple, ready-made conclusions to the ideas he presents and relationships he forges. This is the kind of novel you read with an open, clear mind, willing to make your own conclusions only to change them along the way. Authufr dr e arms up next Civi Wr

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2005 3 ALLIGATOR, 11 Get in line nowthe new Xbox 360 is coming to town By BRETT KELMAN Avenue Writer Bill Gates might not be able to move Christmas, but he's made Nov. 22 look a lot like Xmas. That magic day will be the first in a chain of release dates that will make Microsoft's Xbox 360, the most advanced video-game console ever, available for the worldwide. While international console releases are normally staggered by months, Microsoft will attempt an unprecedented feat with the 360. The new system will become available in North America, Europe and Japan all within a period of three weeks. Globally, that means 360s come sooner for all. Locally, it means dedicated gamers may have to wait. "When a new system comes out, people always end up waiting," said Rhino Video Games Marketing Director Eric Oria. "And.there are not going to be a lot of these out there." Oria said the international release will Wars" films. On Nov. 22, he plans to spend lessen the number of 360s in the first shipment, eight hours lingering outside Best Buy to get and while he couldn't divulge how many 360s his hands on one of the first Xbox 360s. Rhino would have for sale, he admitted that "I've already waited five years for the next some customers would walk away empty'gen' systems," he said. "I want to have it handed. /'ve already waited five first. The sooner the better," "Mybiggestconcemismeetyears for the next 'gen' sys And while you might think ing allthe expectations,"he said.

And I'm not going to buy one off our out for the midnight showings of two "Star shelf and take one from a customer," he said. Oria later added that he would probably buy his Xbox 360 from Wal-Mart, since it will have a separate supply that will be, incidentally, available 10 hours earlier. But even more daunting than the rarity of the 360 is the possibility that these first few just might not work. UF architecture major David Ettinger bought an original Xbox right after its release, and he says it freezes and won't run newer games. He is one of many Xbox owners who bought their consoles immediately and claim their Xboxes are "glitchier" than those of later shipments. Courtney Schwind, a public relations contact for Xbox 360, said that "Microsoft does not comment on rumors or speculation." Still, problematic 360s are a viable concem. Wal-Mart has had an Xbox 360 set up for preview play for almost a month, but Jaber said it only worked for three days before it broke, and two Microsoft technicians have been unable to fix it. "It isn't a good sign," he said. By MELISSA THOMPSON Avenue Writer Chicago and New York City have long been heralded as the meccas of improvisational comedy. Not for long. Gainesville is edging in on the national improv action. The first Gainesville Improv Festival will kick off at 8 tonight at Eddie C's, 1315 S Main St. Through Saturday night, the national festival will showcase premier improv talent as 15 comedy troupes from across the country take to the stage. "You can go to any town and see an improv show, but the sheer number of people performing improv in Gainesville is huge compared to most cities," co-executive producer Skyler Stone said. The festival is 'the brainchild of Stone and co-executive producer Tom O'Donnell. Both men recognize Gainesville as the growing center of improv comedy in Florida and hope to expand the city's recognition nationwide by starting the festival they plan to hold annually. "Gainesville is really a unique environment to leam improv because we approach it like we are training for an Olympic sport or a religious rite," O'Donnell said., Each of the five shows will feature three comedy troupes performing 25-minute sets showcasing a variety of improv styles. Audience members will be able to make suggestions for a "Whose Line is it Anyway?" style of shortform comedy. Other styles in the lineup are sketch comedy and long-form improv where the troupes will act based on a single suggestion from the audience. "It's almost like improvising a one-act play," Stone said. Stone and O'Donnell are alumni of UF's Theatre Strike Force improvisational troupe. According to Stone, students who participate in the improv class as well as the comedy club ire provided with superior training that enables them to go on to more prestigious improv hubs such as Chicago's Second City and New York's Upright Citizens Brigade. Stone has directed Theatre Strike Force's touring troupe, the Sunday Group, for five years and praises the Gainesville improv community for its dedication to teaching the unsung art. "You can come to Gainesville not knowing anything and advance farther in improv because there is always something going on and someone willing to teach you," Stone said. On Saturday, students and the Gainesville community can take advantage of an improv workshop at noon and 2:30 p.m. for $20. The workshops will feature guest instructor Jeff Griggs from Chicago. Griggs, a veteran of the professional improv scene, teaches comedy workshops for a living. "We have 10 instructors who will be covering everything from basic improv concepts, such as listening and scene work, to more complicated concepts -such as long-form improvisation," O'Donnell said. "So there will really be something for everyone." According to Stone, the workshops offer quality training at bargain prices. "You can go to another city and pay at least $50 for a professional workshop," Stone said. "We're flying a professional in from Chicago, and participants will only pay $20." .Ultimately, Stone said he will measure the festival's success through audience reaction. "It'll be successful as long as everyone has a good time," he said. Stone and O'Donnell hope to have the festival annually to pay back Gainesville's improv community for everything it has taught them. "Skyler and I leaked our craft in Gainesville. We are extremely proud of that," O'Donnell said. "We will always do anything we can to help continue to grow the improv community." Gainesville Improv Festival Eddie C's, 1315 S Main St. When: Today -Saturday 8 p.m. Tickets for the festival are available at the door and are $7 for students and $10 for general admission.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 13 HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE Potter fans restlessly anticipate the fourth film By BRETT KELMAN Avenue Writer Feel the pre-movie magic in the air. Ecstatic fans have spent weeks preparing for their fourth cinematic trip to Hogwarts. On Friday, both Regal Gainesville Cinema 14 in Butler Plaza and Gator Cinemas in the Oaks Mall Plaza will begin showing "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." The cinematic adaptation of the fourth book in the largely popular series by J. K. Rowling. UF history major Daniel Elwart said he, like many of his fellow fans, has reread the book again in preparation for seeing it on the big screen. Elwart is founder of the Facebook.com tribute group "I've Read The Harry Potter Books, Instead of Waiting For The Movies." "I read the books all the time, whenever I get a spare minute," he said. "I'm just glad this movie is PG-13, because the book is much darker." According to Felipe Pimentel, manager of the Blockbuster Video located on Archer Road, all three of the previous Harry Potter films have been flying, no pun intended, out of the store recently. Pinsentel said that Blockbuster normally stocks large numbers of a film immediately after its release, then sells off unneeded copies as the movie becomes old news. But with the Harry Potter filns, Blockbuster held onto its extra copies in anticipation of their becoming popular again as sequels were released. "We know people will see exciting trailers and want to check it out and catch up," he said. In fact, the buzz is so big that besides sending employees garbed in Hogwarts attire to each movie theater on Friday, local costume shop Center Stage Costumes & Magic has ordered more Harry Potter costumes so it can supply fans who want to dress up for the film. By CHAN TRAN News Bites Some of us can't wake up without it. Some of us can't study if we don't get it. When the final exam is less than 10 hours away, students often turn to a good cup of caffeine, and luckily, there are plenty of cafes in Gainesville where students can study and drink coffee. Good coffee doesn't necessarily imply a White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino from Starbucks. Students can get a freshly brewed cup from places like a book shop, an organic coffee company or a random kiosk. The smell of books and tofu greets customers at Book Lover's Cafe. The veganand Krishna-friendly restaurant inside the store brews organic, fair-trade coffee. Organic coffees are grown without the chemical pesticides and fertilizers that are often used on large commercial plantations. While the coffee selection may be small, Book Lover's Cafe has plenty of studying space inside and outside the store. Aside from the music playing faintly through the speakers, Book Lover's Cafe reminds me of a library where people will shoot you dirty looks if you raise your 6-inch voice. If organic is your cup of coffee, Sweetwater Organic Coffee Company is Florida's first and only organic and fair-trade coffee roaster.

The cinematic adaptation of the fourth Harry Potter novel "Harry Potter and.the Goblet of Fire" opens in the United States Friday. Surprisingly, Sarah Hensley, assistant manager of Barnes & Noble, said she hasn't noticed a significant spike in sales of the "Goblet of Fire" book inresponse to the movie. "I think a lot of people already caught the Harry Potter train. When you're already on top, it's hard to surge any higher," she said Friday. Hensley explained that anyone who would have bought "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" in preparation for the movie probably did so to prepare for the sixth book in the series, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," released in July. Hensley still expected to sell a lot of copies of "Goblet of Fire" the last few days before the film's release. She also mena fair price for their labor to earn a living wage and their communities benefit as well, according to Sweetwater Organic Coffee's Web site. The coffees come from around the world -Indonesia, East Timor, Ethiopia and Central and South America. Sweetwater was opened only as a wholesale company, but it is in the process of turning into a coffee bar. In the meantime, customers are welcome to a complimentary cup from the free-sample pot. Late-night studying won't happen at Sweetwater Organic Coffee, though. The shop closes at5 p.m. For the nearest off-campus coffee shop, Deja Brew, inside Target Copy, is open every day until 12:30 am. If the humming sound of the copy machines doesn't faze you, Deja Brew provides some studying space with its high bar stools and tables. However, the numbers of chairs and tables is limited. Although nothing too extraordinary, Deja Brew does serve specialty coffees like vanilla lattes and chocolate raspberry mochas along with its regular brewed house coffee. Maude's Classic Cafe caters to the social facet of drinking coffee. With live jazz music on some nights, outdoor seating and wittily named gourmet desserts, Maude's is for the relaxed, chilled crowd or the post-dinner-anda-movie daters. At Maude's, it's all about the atmosphere -and the Berliner (cocoa, coffee, vanilla ice cream and whipped cream). North on 13th Street is Coffee Culture. Located next to Gainesville High School, it appears to be a hangout for the younger crowd, but there are plenty of booths for studying. Those often pressed for time can get a cup via drive-through at Bay Island Coffee Company, the "random" kiosk in Butler Plaza. Coffee shops in Gainesville are more than studying rooms and social gatherings. They provide the resources to help you pass that final. toned she had noticed a sudden boom in the sales of a separate fantasy series, "The Chronicles of Narnia" by C.S Lewis, which she attributed to the action-packed trailer now appearing in theaters. But one UF student no longer needs movie prep. Potter superfan Hannah Castillo already saw "Goblet of Fire" at a fan sneak preview in Miami, but she plans to see it again on opening day. Hesitant to reveal spoilers, sh6 did promise that the crucial "graveyard scene" every avid reader is waiting to see is portrayed absolutely right. "Ijust hope people can keep in mind it's only a two-hour movie and like an 800-page book," she said.

14, ALLIGATOR 0 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2005 PLAYLIST Life-threatening illness renews band's musical zeal mi Ajamu's life-threatening encounter stimulated her vocal chords. After Ajamu survived an aneurysmal dilatation sometime near 2000, said she became reconnected with the importance of music in her life. "When I came out of it, I felt better than I had in years," said Ajamu, vocalist for the Omi Ajamu Trio. "It was truly a new lease on life.". Ajamu and her longtime friend Howard Wapner, who plays piano/guitar in the band, started playing jazz music together around the time of Ajamu's release from the hospital. "After her recovery, she knew she needed the music," Wapner said. "She has the talent, and she needed to bring that talent to the world." Ajamu, mother of -eight children and grandmother of 17, grew up withmusic in her life. "Music was a central activity in the home," Ajamu said. Ajamu, classically trained in piano and knowledge of music theory, first encountered jazz and blues music when she stumbled across an open jam session. She took the stage and started singing some traditional songs -she th took a step away from her classical training. "The guys at the jam were like, 'How does she know those songs?"' Ajamu said. "It was'like I didn't even Vera remember that Hadzi-Antich I remembered Playlist those songs eavenue@alligator.org until we started going through the book (of songs to play)." Ajamu not only sings traditional jazz and blues music but performs some of her original work. She put her own words to a song called "Footprints" by Wayne Shorter. In this song, she sings about things that have happened in her life. "We are here doing what we are ushered to do," Ajamu said. "When we leave here, we leave our mark -our footprints." Ajamu said she feels a special connection with jazz as a form of expression. "A lot of people think jazz is about a bunch of people sitting in a room looking strange," Ajamu said. "You need to get to the point where you understand the expression of it. There is no such thing as a wrong note. It's the ability to make all notes and intonations blend." There is a chance to experience the emotion Ajamu refers to Friday at the Pontiac Tavern, 232 SE First St. The Omi Ajamu Trio will start at about 7 p.m. "This is perfect for right after work," Wapner said. "No cover, nice meal, nice atmosphere and wonderful jazz -it's something different." The Pontiac Tavern's diverse menu and intimate setting mesh well with the trio's music. "This place is so nice," Ajamu said. "I get a peaceful vibration from it." Who: Omi Ajamu Trio Where: Pontiac Tavern, 232 SE First St. When: Friday, 7 p.m. New py hr. Vs Vm1's dAing, matin oes hot Latin mama, an in-your-face Jewish girl, a Friday night televiion watcher, an actress with an abusive boyfriend and a proud, plus-sized black woman. These are the main players in Elizabeth Wong's "Dating & Mating in Modern Times," opening Friday at the Black Box Theater. The play consists of 11 monologues performed by 10 very different women who describe unique situations with men in intriguing and provocative ways. "In essence, it's 11 different plays in one," said director Kevin Marshall, who is also director of the UF School of Theatre and Dance. The play starts off with the discussion of ejaculation and ovulation and ends with an ode to the penis. Marshall said the play is wicked-naughty and follows the school's mission of diversity, discovery and risk. The performance addresses a number of modem dating dilemmas: online romance, speed dating, jealous boyfriends and falling for men who turn out to be gay. "I could have done a much safer play, but I felt it was important to stretch ourselves," Marshall said. The coziness of the Gabriella year-old Black Box Theater, Vigier which seats 200, adds a Curtain Call sense of intimacy to the theavenue@alligator.org perfonnance. The setting -also enhances the play's minimalist realism. The only props in the performance are a rollaway desk and chair interchanged between scenes. "To only have the audience to relate to is a new, dynamic experience," said Robyn Berg, who plays Arlene in the first monologue. The play strives to address the difficulties women face when dealing with the opposite sex. "What I want people to take away from this are the-struggles of women dating," said Candice Alexis Newsun, who plays Jojo. Marisol Sanchez-Biez, Rosaura, agrees, hoping the entire audience will get something out of the performance. "I think it is to open up minds," she said. "It's not just a bunch of chicks talking."

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2005 '55T 1055355"~ By DAN TREAT a Alligator Writer Before Billy Donovan was the dean of Southeastern Conference coaches, before he lead UF to the Final Four or a SEC Tournament championship, he was a stock broker. Really. For six months between his playing days in the Continental Basketball Association and before joining the coaching staff at Kentucky with Rick Pitino, Donovan spent his time, as he describes it, in a room with a stack ofcards. It was an experience during high school, however, that set him on a different path. "My high school was right next to a Long Island Railroad station," Donovan said. "And I could remember all the time guys just lined up in rows waiting for the train doors to open up, and in the middle of February, December, January-it's freezing out there. You can see the smoke from guys' breathing. "The Garden is another arena. [It's still] 94 feet, two goals, ten people. We can go play it in a park and it will be the exact same basketball." Adrian Moss UF senior "I just said 'Everyone looks so miserable, like no one's happy, everybody is miserable every day. And I just said I don't want to do this, this is not what I want to do." That led Donovan to an assistant's job at Kentucky, a head coaching gig at Marshall and eventually the head job at UE And for the third time in Donovan's tenure, the job has led him back to the financial capital of the world as the Gators prepare to square-off against No. 18 Wake Forest tonight in the semifinals of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. The Deacons are coming off less-than-impressive wins against Mississippi Valley State and George Mason-the latter in overtime-in their regional last week. They are also dealing with the early departure of guard Chris Paul, who was selected by the New Orleans Hornets with the 5,h pick in the NBA Draft. "Wake Forest has lost some really good players," Donovan said. "When Tim Casey/ Alligator stant Coach Billy Donovan earns a technical during the Gators' win against Albany on Thursday. He's returning home to New York tonight. you lose an NBA top-five pick as your point guard, there's always going to be an adjustment." On Friday the Gators will face either Syracuse or Texas Tech. Bobby Knight -led Indiana to a victory against Syracuse in the 1987 NCAA title game, and Syracuse defeated Billy Donovan's Providence squad in the National Semifinals to get to the title game. This weekend provides a reunion between the three. And while the Gators may be the least regarded team of the four, they're eager to crash the party. "Why not?" senior Adrian Moss said after he was asked if UF can win the tournament. "Executing our style of play, we're going to run, we're going to press, we're going to defend, we're going to rebound and we're going to be unselfish., We do that, [and] we can win.", And for his part, Moss isn't buying into the hype surrounding Madison Square Garden. "I'm from Texas, so the Astrodome is the big thing for me," Moss said. "The Garden is pretty much another arena to me. .I went my freshman year, it smells like old beer to me." Moss said what he most remembers is wanting to take the Jimi Hendrix poster off the wall on the way to the locker room because he's a big fan. When it boils down to it, Moss said,. the players are still playing the same game. "The Garden is another arena," he said. "[It's still] 94 feet, two goals, ten people. We can go play it in a park and it will be the exact same basketball." Gators-, tO take; U1 Wake "in RNYC f% ',The Santa Fe Community College men's basketball team struggled early, but outscored Melbourne by 18 in the second half en route to a 7657 victory on Wednesday. Torrance Walker led SFCC with 21 points. El The NCAA placed South Carolina football on three years probation for violations under former coach Lou Holtz. The 'Cocks will lose four scholarships but will remain bowl eligible. 412001: In Steve Spurrier's final game against FSU as UF coach, the Gators defeat the Seminoles 37-13. A week later they would face Tennessee with national title hopes, and fall 34-32 in the Swamp. [Basketball UF vs. Wake Forest ESPN, 7 p.m. lMSyracuse vs. Texas Tech ESPN, 9 p.m. ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org Random thoughts fill Tenacious E's brain id you hear that? I swore I heard the Century ower play the old-school WWF Undertaker theme song after the Gators' conference hopes were tombstoned in Columbia. Cue Steve Spurrier with urn and Paul Bearer ensemble, because here are some random thoughts of the week. EWith a campus and football team reeling about the disappointment of yet another season without a trip to Atlanta, I choose to look at the glass as half full. When the griping is all said and done, Coach Urban Meyer is still in his first year in the toughest college football conference in the nation with only one class of players that he recruited for his ideal system. Fans' expectations called for the Rose Bowl at the beginning of the season, but the reality of the situation is this for Gator Nation: quit hating. The football team has its own Eric Esteban issues to deal with, but at this Tenacious E rate of complaining, it could turn into the next Alabama and Bear eesteban@alligator.org Bryant situation, where no coach is good enough for a program disillusioned with title hopes, but really engulfed in a lack of leadership. It wasn't Meyer who missed key tackles and committed 11 penalties, and while he should be blamed for slow dancing through an offensive drive late, it's up to the players to step their game up for FSU and head into the bowl/recruiting/spring season on a high note. 0 UF won't be in a conference championship, but on Dec. 3 history will be made. The Miami Hurricanes will likely play against the Florida State Seminoles once again, but this time it'll be in Jacksonville for the ACC Championship. Honestly, does Jacksonville call this the World's Largest Outdoor Criminal Party? Will complimentary orange junp suits be passed out at The Landing before the game? Are all 14 of Miami's fans going to attend the game or will they even be aware it's happening? Did Bobby Bowden get his 16 hours of sleep last night? These are things I need to know. 0 Tonight will be the first chance for everyone to get a look at the real Spread'n'Shred on campus -the men's basketball team. When the unranked Gators tip off at 7 p.m. on ESPN against No. 18 Wake Forest, it is safe to say this team will be more fun to watch then the Roberson-Walsh-Lee centered group of a year ago. Coach Billy Donovan sports four sophomores and a junior in his starting lineup, but without the aforementioned trio, the Gators are playing a new fast-break conducive brand of Billy Ball. Through two cake-walk games, UF is playing unselfish basketball, getting assists on 71.1 percent of their field goal attempts. It was a normal occurrence for center Al Horford or small forward Corey Brewer to start the fast break, and Chris Richard looks like he can be a force off the bench. If shooting guard Lee Humphrey can continue to shoot lights out from beyond the arc (914), it will be interesting to see how this team does with their first challenge of the year.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 25 rEture W d Attiractiul Noah returns home in a starring role By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer The first Ali-Frazier fight in 1971. Willis Reed limping onto the :ourt in Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals. Mark Messier lifting the itanley Cup high over his head in 1994. Joakim Noah is all too familiar with the legendary status of the building that he will be playing in tonight. As a teenager, he lived just 20 blocks away from Madison Square Garden. As a child living in France, he had attended games with his father when they were vacationing in New York. Tonight, Noah will have his chance to live the dream and make his mark on New York's biggest stage. "That's everybody's dream in New York is to play in the Garden," Noah said. "Even when I talk about it with some of the guys, they don't reL.'1e how big it is to play in an arena with so much tradition. Muhammad Ali fighting there, all the great games over there, there's just so much tradition." Famous Roots Noah was born in the Big Apple to 1978's Miss Sweden Cecilia Rodhe and 1983 French Open Champion Yannick Noah, a recent inductee into the Tennis Hall of Fame. Noah moved across the Atlantic Ocean to Paris when he was 3, only to return to the Big Apple 10 years later. And despite his natural athleticism, he wasn't very polished as a player. "He was pretty raw," said Bill McNally, who coached Noah for two years at Poly Prep Country Day School in Brooklyn. "But he was very enthusiastic, and you could tell that he was athletic, and he was very coordinated. But in terms of basketball skill and basketball I.Q., that wasn't really there yet." Noah already stood 6-foot-6 when he transferred to Poly Prep for his sophomore year from the United Nations International School, but McNally said it was his effort and willingness to learn that most aided in his development. "He's the hardest worker I've ever had," McNally said. "He was like a sponge. He really wanted to learn every little drill, every little thing he could do to get better." McNally credited a tremendous amount of Noah's desire to his Tim Casey/ Alligator Start Joakim Noah muscles his way to the paint in UF's exhibition win against Embry-Riddle on Nov. 1. Noah's hometown family and friends can watch the New Yorker up close tonight when the Gators face Wake Forest at Madison Square Garden in the semi-finals of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. upbringing. "He kind of has an individual athlete's approach to a team game," McNally said. "I think that's a big asset to him. "His father being such a great tennis player -if you're a tennis player, it's not like you have other people around you to push you as much. It's got to really come from inside, and I think his self-motivation is a big part of his development." And his background also landed him the nickname of "The Noble One" as he played alongside NBA players Ron Artest, Jason Terry and Jamaal Tinsley at New York's famed Rucker Park this past summer. "It's a great experience every single time playing in New York," Noah said. "They have a survivalof-the-fittest mentality, and I feel like being out there for a month definitely helped me get my swagger back. It was just a great opportunlity A Tough Start That swagger may have evaporated last season when Noah saw little action in UF's crucial games down the stretch and barely played in the Southeastern Conference and NCAA tournaments. UF coach Billy D6novan remembers Noah's disappointment. "He was a kid at the end of last year that .was completely devastated, and he was very, very emotional," Donovan said. "He was so competitive and passionate and he wanted to play." Noah's play earlier in the season had been slowed after he contracted mono, and he was also buried behind David Lee, Al Horford and others on the depth chart. After not playing in UF's NCAA opening-round victory against Ohio, he watched film with'Donovan in his hotel room, distraught that he didn't get an opportunity to play in the game. "I told him last year when we were sitting in the hotel room, 'Jo, this season is going to end,"' Donovan said. "And David Lee is going to be gone, and right now it's about you learning, it's not about you getting playing time. "He wanted to play, but he understood why he wasn't. and I think ever since that talk, his focus has totally changed because I think he realizes that [he's] going to be relied upon now." Homecoming Now, with Noah being counted on to produce on a night-in nightout basis, he has responded in the early going. He poured in a careerhigh 17 points against Albany last week* to secure UF's place in The World's Most Famous Arena. "I've been dreaming about this for a long time," Noah said after that game. "It's finally here, and Tim Casey/ Alligator Staff Bruno Silva can only watch as Joakim Noah goes for the layup in UF's exhibition win against West Florida on Nov. 4. After a year on the -bench, Noah is a starter and has a chance to shine. it's just a great feeling to be able to go home. I'm going to need a budget for tickets." His enthusiasm for the experience has not been lost on his teammates. "That's all he's been talking about ever since we beat Albany," Taurean Green said. "In the locker room, he was like, 'We're going to New York! We're going to New York!"' And since Noah already plays with heightened emotions, Donovan is concerned that he may try to do too much in front of the hometown crowd. "He is a guy I'm somewhat concerned about," Donovan said. "I think anytime a player goes home for the first time and you get a chance to play in front.of family and friends, sometimes you really add some pressure on yourself. "Jo's an excitable guy, and I think he can sometimes get too emotional. So keeping him on an even keel here will be important." For a kid from New York, however, there is nothing bigger than playing on this stage, and Noah, who received about 35 ticket requests, will be living the dream the next two days: "That's the dream, for a New York City kid to play ia._the Garden," said McNally, who will be attending both games. "You grow up going there, and obviously Joakim would go there to watch the Knicks, so that's kind of like the Mecca of New York City. That's the ultimate court to play on. "I think for a kid from New York, if they could play anywhere in the world, that would be where they would play."

26, ALLIGATOR S THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2005 By RACHEL ROBINS Alligator Writer As he leaps into the water, he takes one deep breath and focuses only on the wall ahead. Once he finishes the race, he gets out of the pool, quietly goes about his business and jumps in again. This is a typical scenario for U swimner Darian Townsend. Traveling under water, Townsend has gone almost unnoticed as he has become a premier athlete on UF's swim team, and that suits him just fine. "I am quiet, focused, caln, and I try not to let things bother me," Townsend said. A sophomore, Townsend was part of the South African 4x100 freestyle relay team that took gold and broke a world record at the 2004 Olympics. "It was unbelievable just to qualify, and to win a gold medal and break a world record," Townsend said. As a high school student, Townsend dabbled in many sports besides swimming. He played rugby, cricket, hockey and soccer.

His mother is a swimming instructor and his dad played water polo. Eventually, Townsend had to decide which parent's passion to pursue whole-heartedly. "Even though swimming is small, water polo is even smaller in South Arica," Townsend said. Townsend began to focus on swimming full time. Soon, his coach Townsend m South Africa emailed U, and then Townsend began corresponding with UF by e-mail. "I am not a cold climate person, so Florida was a logical place," he said. Becoming a United States resident and a UF student was not an easy transition for the now 21-year-old athlete. "I miss my mom's food," Townsend said. Adjusting to UF's coaching staff wasn't any easier.

"Here coaches let me know I am having a bad day and don't leave me alone." However, Townsend said that he now understands the coaches here and the situation has improved. "He's very intense and directed," UF swimming coach Gregg Troy said. "He knows what he wants to do and is very much a perfectionist." Townsend also has figured out how to balance sports and academics. He wakes up before the crack of dawn and practices twice a day -once at 6 a.m. and again at 2 p.m. He also likes to fall asleep to Nip/Tuck. However, there are days when he's just like every other UF student. He attends UF football games, although he admits he leaves early. After college he hopes to compete in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and then turn professional. One person already thinks that Townsend will leave permanent waves in UF's swim program.

"You're always trying to get better and stay ahead of the Meyer curve of people catching you, and I don't think we're ahead of the curve right now." Meyer attributed some of the Gators' offensive woes this season to a lack of receivers due to injuries to Andre Caldwell (broken leg) and Dallas Baker (broken rib), which forced the coaching staff to rely on more of a downhill running game and deviate from its horizontal running and passing attack. LET 'EM PLAY: For the second consecutive day, UF starters left field early, as freshmen and reserve players faced off in a lengthy scrimmage. Meyer said the off-week before the Nov. 26 Florida State game provides him with time to evaluate some of his younger players for the first time stnce summer practices. 1 r thik you getthe young guys, let them enjoy the game and try to toughen them up a little bit and play," Meyer said. ,-.ll INGRAM TO WR?: Meyer said he's contemplating wooing third-strtog QB~' C5 orneliss Ingram to another positin at the end of the season.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 27 Seniors say'bye' to O-Dome By BRYAN JONES Alligator Writer As the volleyball fans at the O'Connell Center showed their appreciation for four years of hard work and success, tears began to stream down Jane Collymore's face. "It was emotional," .said the two-time All-American. "I told myself that I wasn't going to cry, but when I stepped out there it felt right." Collymore and fellow senior captain Rachel Engel were honored prior to last Sunday's match against Mississippi State-the last regular season home match of their UF careers. "Both of them are playing the best volleyball of their careers, which is exactly what we want as coaches-by their senior year to be playing their very best volleyball," Wise said. "As I told their parents when their parents talked before the match about how much they are going to miss being here, I said, 'I'll know when I will really miss them-next year, come next August when they are not on the court."' Presented with framed replica jerseys, the O-Dome fans roared in appreciation for the two seniors. "We just want to really go out, play hard and try to let them go out with a bang." Amber McCray UF opposite hitter "You get chills in a situation like that," said Engel, who is on pace to break the Southeastern Conference record for digs in a season. But don't try telling Wise they have played their last home game. "We hope not," Wise said. Should the Gators impress the selection committee for the NCAA Tournament, UF would host the opening rounds of the tournament, which would give Collymore and Engel an opportunity to clinch a Sweet 16 berth in their O'Connell Center finale. The Gators will head into the SEC Tournament with the knowledge that an impressive showing would all but seal the deal. "Our seniors have been so special to us throughout their whole careers," opposite hitter Amber McCray said. "We just want to really go out, play hard and try to let them go out with a bang." Collymore's goals for the Gators range far beyond being an NCAA Tournament host, however. Collymore thinks this could be the team that finally brings UF its first national championship. "This team is the best I have played on," Collymore said. [Winning a national championship] is something Florida has never done, and every-one wants to go out saying that they have done something that no other team has been able to do. That would be a great legacy to leave behind." Deadline is previous Thursday.

28, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2005 ; --t -V1 Zf'0 Florida: Corey Brewer -So. 6" 185 pounds, 18.0 ppg., 6.0 rpg., 2.0 spg. The Gators don't have or need a go-to scorer, huh? It should come as no surprise that Brewer has already emerged as UF's No. 1 scoring option during the young season. Not only is Brewer getting to the basket, but he ranks second on the team with five 3-pointers. Brewer will continue his mission to become a household name against Wake Forest. Wake Forest: Trent Strickland -Sr., 6'5", 216 pounds, 17 ppg., 11.5 rpg,. Strickland could match Brewer dribble for dribble and shot for shot. In fact the two are mirror images of each other. Strickland is a solid slasher, leaper and defender -just like Brewer. Not only that, but he's a more physical rebounder as well However, Strickiand has spent most of his career playing limited minutes, so it's unclear whether he can keep up this production. ~j hfl?~ -o"I -l ':,F v-fl -h I it -. Florida: Joakim Noah -So., 611" 227 pounds, 13.5 ppg., .722 FG%,. No one knew exactly what to think of Noah entering this season. And while Noah will confront his first true test against the Demon Decons, he has exceeded all expectations so far. Not only has his energy sparked the Gators defensively, but Noah has been more than adequate around the basket as well. Wake Forest: Eric Williams -Sr., '9" 280 pounds, 20.5 ppg., 7.5 rpg.,. If someone can put Noah in his place, it's Williams. An efficient post player who can back down defenders in his sleep, the meaty power forward should have his way with Noah. Expect Wake Forest to look inside all game long. V iNlv6h "n i Florida: Al Horford -So., 6'6" 235 pounds, 7.5 rpg., 2.0 bpg., 4.0 apg. Horford hasn't done anything emphatic so far, but he continues to provide the blue-collar work the Gators need in the interior. The center will have an adequate body to bang against in Kyle Visser but Horford should do just fine against Wake Forest. Wake Forest: Kyle VissEr -Jr., 611", 244 pounds, 8.0 ppg., 7 rpg., 1 bpg. Visser will tower over Horford, but his 6-foot-11 frame is deceiving. A scrappy player, Visser prefers jumpers over hook shots although his post game scoring has been on the rise. Don't expect much in the points department, but Visser could give Horford fits at times.

MAIN ST. U N MAIN ST. I N.W. 23 Florida: Lee Humphrey -Jr., 62" 192 pounds, 14.5 ppg., .643 3PT%, 2 apg. So Lee, shooting isn't all that bad is it? Heeding the advice of Coach Billy Donovan, Humphrey has been firing away so far this year and he's been right on target. Though his ridiculous 3-pt percentage has to fall, Humphrey has the opportunity to prove he can score against a legitimate team. Wake Forest: Michael Drum -Jr., 6'6" 204 pounds, 4.0 ppg., 2.0 apg., 1.0 rpg. Drum isn't exactly the imposing player. The guard/forward is entering his first season with the Demon Decons after transferring from Presbyterian and sitting out last year. Drum is a -decent 3-point shooter and rebounder but even as the star at Presbyterian, he managed just 11.9 points per game. -F Florida: Taurean Green -So., 6'0 177 pounds, 7.5 ppg., S.D apg., 2.0 spg. Green has started his season nicely, passing first yet knocking down open jumpers when needed. The real surprise occurred during the St. Peters season opener when Green held defendingNCAA scoring champ Keydren Clark to just 11 points. It doesn't get any easier against Wake Forest when Green will be asked to control the dangerous Justin Gray. Wake Forest: Justin Gray -Sr. 6'2" 194 pounds, 13.5 ppg., 6.5 apg., S.D topg. Filling in Chris Paul's sneakers would be a formidable task for almost anybody. ButJustin Gray won't be phased. Moving from shooting guard to point guard, Gray could give UF fits with his refined dribble penetration. Add good vision, an above average 3-point shot and solid defense and Gray poses a plethora of problems. Florida is a young team with plenty of potential, so this is a perfect test early in the season. On paper, it looks like the Gators could defeat Wake Forest. However, the Deacons' top two players are seniors and you can never underestimate veteran leadership.
