New-look Gators winning with hustle
U UF WINS COACHES VS.
CANCER TOURNAMENT.
By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer
NEW YORK- Blink, and you
missed it.
And if you did, you missed
some of the most entertaining
basketball you're likely to see all
season.
When UF and No. 16 Syracuse
locked horns in the finals of the
X t Coaches vs. Cancer Classic, the
Gators escaped with a 75-70 vic-
tory. But it may have been UF's
fans who emerged a's the ultimate
'r winners.
Throughout the game's first
Half, the two teams played at
a breakneck pace, with neither
willing to commit a turnover or
a foul.
"I thought the pace of the game

both sides, the Gators in particu-

Joakim Noah was particularly
gassed, leaving some to speculate
that he was actually sick.
"I was exhausted," Noah said.

By the time the breathtaking se-

UF's student body president now
has about 200,000 more students to
represent.
Joe Goldberg was voted
chairman of the Florida Student
Association during a Friday meeting
at the University of South Florida.
The association advocates for the
nearly 250,000 students who attend
the state's universities to the Florida
Board of Education, the Florida
Legislature and other state agencies.
"I feel very honored that the
students have put their trust in me
to carry out that responsibility,"
Goldberg said. "I think that I have
a good grasp on the issues. I do
my homework. I make sure I am
prepared."
The position calls for Goldberg
to lead the monthly FSA meetings
and serve as the sole student on
the Board of Governors, the state
authority on higher education.
Goldberg said he is going to
ensure that the Bright Futures schol-
arship is protected, tuition increases
are as low as possible, and block tu-
ition does not become a reality.
He said one of the main responsi-
bilities 6f his new post is to advocate
for students in Tallahassee, adding
that his relationship with state legis-
lators and members of the Board of
Governors will give him a leg up on
keeping students satisfied.
"I know them very well," he said.
Goldberg said he is the first UF
student body president in about
eight years to be chairman.

Student body president
By KATIE WILKINSON

A UF student was arrested for steal-
ing a Turlington Plaza minister's sign,
which read "Beware queer university,"
Friday afternoon.
Jennifer Arce, 23, approached
campus evangelist David Miller from
behind, snatched the sign and fled
on foot toward University Avenue on
Newell Road, where she was stopped by
University Police.
Miller, who was detained by UPD
on Nov. 10 for disturbing nearby classes
while preaching, chased after Arce, yell-
ing, "Catch that thief! Beware of thief!"
said witness Lauren Dobson.
Arce ran through Turlington Plaza,
past a game of 4-square being played
by about 30 students, who cheered her
on.
Miller pursued her while calling UPD
on his cell phone, Dobson said.
Several students watched them run
down the road to University Avenue,
where two police cars were waiting to
arrest Arce.
Public "They put her in hand-
Safety cuffs and put her in the
police car," Dobson said.
"Students who walked by
and saw the situation began yelling at
the preacher, calling him a homophobe
and a jerk."
After giving the police a sworn
complaint of what happened, Miller
went back out to Turlington to continue
preaching about 40 minutes later, said
witness Randolph Hawkins, who was
tabling on Turlington at the time.
"I came a first time, they throw me in
handcuffs in a car for 30 minutes," Miller

Scavenger hunt a hit

"It was really funny, two guys and

Cepero, 20, an animal science and biol-

About 140 others hunted for the
condom as well as other items Saturday
during the Great Gator Hunt, a city-
wide scavenger hunt organized by UF's
chapter of the American Marketing
Association.
Cepero and her teamrniates found out
through other participants that the con-
doms were at X Mart Adult Supercenter.
Her team was one of the between 35
and 40 that participated in the associa-
tion's hunt, themed "The Rich and The
Famous." Participants had to use clues
to find 15 businesses around Gainesville.
At each location, teams had to get an
"autograph" and decipher a clue to ar-
rive at the next location.
The final clue led the teams to an
afterparty, where the first-place team of

As UF officials attempt to broaden
diversity on campus, the state Board of
Governors is also taking steps to increase
minority enrollment at Florida schools
through a hew group called the Access
and Diversity Team.
The body that oversees Florida's 11
public universities approved the group's
creation at its Thursday meeting. The
team's main purpose will be to research
ways to improve strategies for recruiting
and enrolling minority students from
around the state.
"The team is to examine the pano-
ply of programs and strategies used to
broaden diversity of the State University
System enrollment," Board spokesman
Bill Edmonds wrote in an e-mail.
The group will be comprised of rep-
resentatives employed within Florida's
K-12 school system, as they often work

Newspaper geared toward Jewish students to hit stands
* THE PAPER, AS YET UNNAMED, IS
FINALIZING. ITS STAFF.
By LYNDSEY BECHTEL
Alligator Contributing Writer
When Jewish students come to UF, they
feel that they must make a serious compro-
mise, according to a local rabbi.
Students think they must isolate them-
selves to continue their faith or assimilate into
the larger college culture.
"This simply isn't true," said Rabbi Yonah
Schiller. "People can have Jewish experiences
every day."
UF Hillel, a Jewish community center for
students located across the street from cam-
pus, will offer these students a new connection
to their religion through an as-yet unnamed
Jewish newspaper that will circulate every
other week beginning in the Spring.
"It's a Jewish value to play an integral part in
the local and national community," Schiller said.
"If I regulate my Jewish life to one building or
day a year, my experience has fallen short."
According to Schiller, there are approxi-
mately 6,000 Jewish students on campus,
more than any other school in
Student the Southeast. Hillel's listserv has
Life about 2,000 subscribers.
Plans for the paper include a
women's column, and Schiller
said he hopes to have Mike D from the hip-hop
act Beastie Boys write about his experiences
with Judaism. Study-abroad students also will
send in articles about Jewish subcultures.
"There is this up-and-coming, new genera-
tion of Jews," Schiller said. "Hey, you can be
hip and be kosher at the same time."
Public relations junior Laura Jones is part of
the newspaper's founding team and said she
wants to expand her faith.
"Judaism is about old traditions and cultures
for most people," she said. "Once I got to high
school, I felt the pressure to go out on Friday
nights instead of go to temple for Shabbat."
The paper's staff will be finalized after
Thanksgiving.

Flash mob brings mystery and excitement to UF
By HEATHER RAPP
Alligator Contributing Writer
At precisely 1:46 p.m. Friday,
about 25 students stood atop 25
chairs and raised 25 bananas in
the air.
The strangers toasted their
fruit, peeled and devoured.
"I don't get it," yelled a diner-
turned-audience member in the
Reitz Union Food Court.
Confusion and applause rip-
pled through the bystanders.
Two minutes later, it was all
ever. The bananas were gone, as
were their spontaneous consum-
ers.
With that, the fourth UF flash
mob was complete.
What was that?
A flash mob occurs when
strangers congregate at a" syn-
chronized time and place, per-
form an often-obscure activity
and disperse immediately.
Usually, they've collaborated
through e-mail or cell phone text
messages.
UF sophomore Salvatore
Joseph Picataggio, 20, uses
Facebook.com to organize the UF
gatherings.
"It's like a camera flash,"
Picataggio explained. "It's there,
and you notice it. Then it's
gone."
His flash mobs have never
been captured on camera before,
and Picataggio said people par-
ticipate because they enjoy being
anonymous.
"They're so spontaneous,"
said freshman Sean McCaughan.
"They're surreal. It's like,
screw reality, do something ran-
dom."
He said he slept through Fall's
first flash mob that consisted of
repeatedly yelling "Can you hear
me now?" into cell phones on
Turlington Plaza.
So this time, he was deter-
mined to participate.
How it started
The term "flash mob" origi-
nated from "Flash Crowd," a.
1971 science fiction novella that
suggested if instant teleportation
technology became widespread,
uncontrollable crowds would
flock from all over the world to
the scene of any event, according
to the author's Web site.
The first documented flash
mob occurred in June 2003 when
100 people gathered in the home
furnishings department of a
Macy's department store.
As an e-mail instructed, the
flash mobbers told sales associ-
ates that they were purchasing a
"love rug" for the commune the
entire group lived in, Picataggio
said.
Thousands of similarly bizarre
congregations popped up in Asia,.
Australia and Europe.
While the international craze
has been described as "random
acts of pointlessness" by British
publications, many flash-mob or-
ganizers wield political agendas,
and the phenomenon persists
today.
On Nov. 1, demonstrators
were invited to protest anti-bi-
cycle laws at a metro station in
Bucharest, Romania, as posted on
Flashmob.com, an international
announcement forum.
But Picataggio said he has no
intention of putting a political
'spin on his events, nor is he at-
Brittany von Hausch and Chris Neal, UF architecture freshmen, eat bananas with the Flash Mob in the
Reitz Union Food Court on Friday. The group performs absurd stunts at random in public places.
tempting to revive the craze.
The man in the orange hat
Unlike this semester's "Undie
500," masterminded by Beau
Bergeron, the first rule of 'flash
mobs is you do not talk about
flash mobs.
That's what Picataggio said
sets "underground" collabora-
tions apart from other publicized
events.
"It's almost performance art,"
he said.-"Almost."
The public relations major
noted that while anyone can join
the group, "the events themselves
are pretty.secret."
Because the 200-plus group
is comprised of strangers,
Picataggio can only hope his
messages are enticing.
"I don't know who's going
to be there," he said. "That's the
excitement of it."
In every message, he tells
members to show up and "meet
the man in the orange hat."
Picataggio's fluorescent hat
is not related to flash mobs, but
it makes him easy to spot in a
crowd.
And he's got plenty of ideas
for more events.
His whiteboard at home is
filled with possibilities: from an
impromptu game of red-light,
green-light to pointing at the sky
with yellow dish gloves.

Editorial
Meritless perk
Bright Futures rewards
average students
The Editorial Board isn't going to win any friends this
week. We've decided a Florida tradition close to stu-
dents' hearts must change its ways.
Florida Bright Futures needs to stiffen its standards be-
fore it sinks the academic credibility of our university.
We all love the scholarship. It means many of us can go
to college for free or for a very discounted price. We're able
to attend a public university that rivals many. expensive
out-of-state schools. And getting the money is close to ef-
fortless qualified students sign up, and the scholarship
is automatically dispensed.
But while we would like to give everyone a chance to
get a good education, we can't rationalize giving merit-
based scholarships fo students who haven't displayed
much merit. To qualify for the Florida Medallion Scholars
Award, which pays 75 percent of tuition, students only
need to score a 970 on the SAT. The average SAT score is
roughly 1000.
Should a purportedly merit-based scholarship have
standards that dip below average achievement?
We like Bright Futures because it's easy to get. We don't
need to put forth much effort to secure it, and we have
come to consider it our educational right.
But in the long run, we all lose when money is given
away so loosely.
Bright Futures has succeeded at keeping good college
students within the state. When public universities offer a
good education for free, students, find it hard to travel out
of state, far from their families, to a college that will cost
them $40,000 a year.
Undoubtedly, UF owes the excellence of its student
body to Bright Futures.
However, the highest standards of Bright Futures are
falling behind UF's entrance qualifications. And with
many students receiving the scholarship, tuition is kept ri-
diculously low by a state government that can't, or won't,
pay higher tuition for Bright Futures recipients. Instead
of everyone paying their share for education, otit-of-state
and graduate students carry an unfair burden.
UF is at a standstill. Classes grow larger, and professors
are forced to teach more and more students. We might like
going to school cheaply, but at what price of education?
Nothing worthwhile is obtained for free.
Bright Futures once helped raise the bar for Florida
universities; now it's impeding their growth.
Instead of discerning by merit or need, the state gives
the scholarship to almost everyone qualified for' college.
About 24,000 of 33,000 UF undergraduates receive at least
a 75-percent Bright Futures Scholarship.
Many who receive the award dorl't need the money. If
the standards were set higher, only overachieving students
would get the award, leaving extra money for need-based
scholarships and allowing tuition to be raised to a more
appropriate level.
Students who can't afford the higher tuition would be
able to receive need-based aid. And students who could
afford it would still be in a better financial situation than if
they had gone out of state.
We're in a world where college education is a possibil-
ity for everyone. Bright Futures has enabled thousands to
receive an education without going into debt, and public
universities are providing quality education at an afford-
able price.
But our goal of equality should not trump our search
for exceptionality. Rewards aren't for everyone; they're for
those who have risen above the crowd.

'Intelligent design'
S should "intelligent design" be taught in schools? I say
absolutely. It is an excellent topic for discussion in phi-
losophy class or in a comparative mythology class.
Why does it not belong in a science class? "Intelligent
design" is not science. It does not behave like science, and it
does not produce like science. "Intelligent design" is a move-
ment aimed at social and political reform hiding under the
guise of science. The motivations of the "intelligent design"
movement are clearly religious, and these religious implica-
tions were laid bare at the recent Scopes II trial in Dover, Pa.,
and in documents distributed by the "intelligent design"
movement. "Intelligent design" found a loophole in the 1987
Edwards v. Aguillard Supreme Court decision that struck
down the teaching of creationism. They now want to use
that loophole to insert a theocratically based social-reform
agenda through a back door.
I find it equally amazing that 100 scientists were found
who were "skeptical of the claims of random mutation and
natural selection." How many of those 100 scientists have
published their "problems"? Zero.
There are few, if any, peer-reviewed articles on "intelligent
design." I'm also willing to bet that every single one of the
100 scientists has benefited directly from studies of evolu-
tionary biology. I'm willing to bet they are healthy and able
to sign the document because they have been treated with
newer strains of antibiotics developed to keep ahead of the
random mutations and natural selective processes that cre-
ated antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
So what does "intelligent design" offer? Not much. The
conclusion of "intelligent-design scientists" is that if some-
thing looks complex, then it could not have arisen by natural
means and therefore an "intelligent designer" is responsible.
That boils down to: "Hey, I'm a smart scientist, and if I cannot
figure out how this might have evolved, than there really is
only one 'thing' smarter than me, so God did it."
Supporters make the claim that the blood-clotting cas-
cade is irreduciblyy complex" and therefore must have been

equal to giving up
Joseph Meert designed. If we accept this conclusion,
Speaking Out what fruit does it bear? How does the
hemophiliac benefit from this knowl-
edge? "Intelligent design," for all its
hyperbole, is really about giving up, Scientists do not give up
when faced with a seemingly insolvable problem.
Good science does not move forward via political lob-
bying. Einstein did not insist that relativity be taught in
physics class. He argued his case before his peers through
scientific publication and through scientific presentations
to those peers. He provided testable hypotheses, and when
those hypotheses were confirmed by experimentation and
observation, his ideas made it into high school physics text-
books. Einstein did not take out a large advertisement in The
New York Times stating, "We the undersigned have serious
problems with Newtonian gravity." He did not hire a lawyer
to have relativity inserted in high school textbooks. He did
not insist on a disclaimer in textbooks that said, "Newtonian
gravity is a controversial theory."
I would also like to add that signing a document is a
fallacious argument called "appeal to authority." A counter-
example meant to demonstrate the illogical nature of this
argument was conducted by the National Center for Science
Education. Its "Project Steve" asked for signatures by scien-
tists named Steve who find the evidence for evolution com-
pelling. So far, more than 650 scientists named Steve have
signed the document. If appeals to authority are compelling,
then evolution leads "intelligent design" by a 6.5 to 1 margin
using only scientists named Steve!
Lastly, the teaching of "intelligent design" may be illegal.
The test case in Dover is likely to provide a first test for the le-
gality of teaching "intelligent design" in classrooms. I predict
that no matter which way the decision goes in this case, the
movement will continue lobbying pressure and will continue
to fail at producing fruitful scientific evidence for its claims.
Joseph Meert is an assistant professor in the Department of
Geological Sciences.

Hull's speech inspiring, not angering
If Nicole Rohrmann is a representative
example of a reporter at the Alligator, I shud-
der to think of the "news" I am receiving. I
recall two people leaving the speech and their
"storming out" looked more like a quiet exit.
At one point, an enthusiastic attendee broke
into a fit of applause when the speaker talked
about the immorality of all antitrust legisla-
tion.
If Rohrmann employed the use of a Q-tip,
the speech she heard by Gary Hull would
have left her thinking the following:
That racism is the belief that one's race de-
termines one's identity.
That multiculturalism teaches that identity
is based on skin color/ethnicity but claims its
goal is to end racism.
That there are objective standards to
which cultures can be rated. For example,
Western culture is objectively better than Nazi
Germany. It is objectively better than cultures
that deny reason, individual rights and tech-
nological advancements.
That Western culture is not perfect its
contradictions included slavery and the op-
pression of women.
That the solution to racism is the realization
that the individual should be judged as an in-
dividual, possessing free will.
Hull presented one of the most positive,
inspiring speeches I have ever been witness
to. He spoke of the most rational, able race of
all: mankind.

Evolution a fact, creation an illogical myth
Enough is enough already. Teaching "intel-
ligent design" in schools is simply absurd. The
mere suggestion that "intelligent design" is as
viable a theory as Darwin's "theory" of evo-
lution questions that person's credibility as a
coherent human being.
Evolution is as close to being a fact as the
Earth is round. The proof is all around us. The
fossils that are always being uncovered (most
of which, by the way, date back to more than
6,000 years ago) show us the steps to evolu-
tion. It is a very logical answer. But then again,
religion has a real problem with logic.
"Intelligent design" supporters say the
"theory" of evolution is not a sound argument,
but how often do they question their own ar-
gument? Where is the truth in it? It does not
exist. All of their arguments are based around
the Bible, which contrary to popular belief is
not a book of facts but a book of fairy tales. It
was written by a bunch of people who were
trying to find a way to control others. I think
it is sad that it has continued to be a success
thousands of years later, when the technology
is such that people should have the common
sense to realize how absurd religion is.
Why am I worried about this? I'll tell you.
The nonsense that is drilled into kids' heads,
the brainwashing, should stay within the
walls of the churches. "Intelligent design"
is only an attempt to combine schools and
churches. The separation of church and state
is a must, or else Andrew Bare's column could
be a very true thing.
What are they going to attack next, the
"theory" of gravity?e Skelly

Starbucks puts sexual comment on cups
by printing a quote on homosexuality
Amie Ward argued that a woman's ob-
jection to the Starbucks cup was due to a
"whacked-out mentality" of "bigotry" and
attitudes that are "disgusting, -nauseating
and vile." Sound ridiculous? That's Ward's
opinion of anyone who holds a different (read:
their own) opinion about sexuality.
The real problem isn't personal opinion.
The real problem is that Starbucks put sex on its
cups. Let's be real honest here the term "gay"
doesn't refer to a man's political or religious
views. It doesn't refer to whether he
fee or tea. Gay means sex. Intercoi
don't believe me, look it up.
To assign any more meaning t
would be to blanket all gays under
ideal. But if I learned anything

arbitrarily assign any characterist

else. Except in having sex.

Potter faithful join together to top weekend receipts
ByANNA SUGGS,
Alligator Contributing Writer
Gainesville residents who wanted a first
glimpse of the latest installment in the "Harry
Potter" franchise had to get their tickets well
before they ever set foot in the theater.
By 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights, all
of that day's screenings of "Harry Potter and
the Goblet of Fire" were sold out, according to a
Regal Gainesville Cinema 14 receptionist.
The franchise's fourth cinematic install-
ment, "Goblet of Fire" took in an estimated
$101.43 million nationwide during its opening
weekend, making it the fourth-largest box-of-
fice opener ever behind "Spider-Man" in 2002,
"Star Wars: Episode I Revenge of the Sith"
in May and "Shrek 2" in 2004, according to
Box Office Mojo's Web site.
The parking lot of the Butler Plaza theater
was spilling over to nearby businesses' park-
ing and lawns Friday as fans lined up for one
of the film's 24 showtimes.
Fifteen-year-olds Lauren Hudson and Valerie
Fowler, from Bell, wore round, black-rimmed
glasses with repair tape on the bridge, signature
of orphaned wizard Harry Potter.
Hudson said she's read all of the books five
times each and watches all of the movies once
a month.
"I like 'em a lot," she said. "It's kind of
dorky, but cool."
Both agreed the film was exciting, though
it did not include everything from the book.
Hudson said they planned to see the movie
together about four months ago, and they
bought tickets Nov. 12.

pointed that they had to go to a late show be-
cause the film was so exciting that it held her
attention the entire two-and-a-half hours.
"Walk the Line," another new release and
the weekend's second most popular film, took
in only a quarter of the new Potter film's earn-
ings, about $22.4 million.
According to a Fandango.com poll Friday,
62 percent of the Web site's visitors planned to
see "Goblet of Fire" on opening weekend.
Dan Fellman, head of distribution at
Warner Bros., which released the movie, said
the results exceeded the studio's expectations.
The third Potter film, "Harry Potter and the
Prisoner of Azkaban," premiered last year
with a $93.7 million weekend take.

Former skeptic of group becomes chairman
Gators' play reflects
Donovan's gritty style
BASKETBALL, from page 1
dominantly Syracuse crowd simultaneously exhaling.
The up-tempo ball and consistent pressing may finally
mark the return of Billy Ball, something that Donovan him-
self alluded to after the game.
"I think that we're going to get back to playing a
little bit more the way I'd like to play," Donovan said.
"Running, pressing, getting up and down the floor, try-
ing to create turnovers, trying to play in
transition."
That style of basketball reflects the way
Donovan played at Providence. In his se-
nior season, Donovan hit 237 threes in 34
games, along with 82 steals and 243 assists,
while leading his team to the Final Four.
The Gators' play in the early going
Donovan forced the Orange into a man-to-man
defense, which ultimately wore them down as the game
progressed.
"I thought our team was extremely tired the first 12
minutes," Donovan said. "And I looked at Syracuse, and I
did not think Syracuse was that winded because we were
extending so much energy up the floor pressing and then
having to come back and play man-to-man.
"For them in the. zone, I don't want to say that in zone
you rest, but you're obviously not chasing guys over
screens, you're not showing on pick-and-rolls, you're not
having to constantly move; you're playing an area, and
that conserves energy."
FSA, from page 1
Goldberg said he arrived at the meeting and was un-
sure of whether to run for the position, but other student
body presidents' support at the meeting convinced him
he was suited for the spot.
University of North Florida Student Body President
Tom Foran said he nominated Goldberg because of his
strong character.
"He has good insight," Foran said, noting that
Goldberg is usually up-to-date on state education issues.
FSA is looking into the possibility of bringing two
more medical schools to Florida, something that the
Board of Governors is deliberating on.
FSA Executive Director Mike Fischer said the
University of Central Florida and Florida International
University have expressed interest.
"They're very expensive," he said of the possible
medical school additions.
He said the Board of Governors is also thinking of
"instigating" a technology fee.
In May 2004, Goldberg said he was doubtful about
whether or not it was worth it for UF to spend about
$30,000 to join FSA.
However, he said when he went to his first FSA meet-
ing later in the year, he was all for it.
GovStud ment "You're sitting in a room with 10
other student body presidents, who
are trustees of their universities, who
do the same things that we do at UF," Goldberg said.
Fischer said he is confident in Goldberg.
"When you're a college student, it is awful hard to be
taken seriously," he said. "A lot of people tend to over-
look college students. Joe never has that problem."
Student Sen. Allison Cullin, leader of the Impact
Party, Goldberg's opposing Student Government
party, said the debate about whether FSA is helpful
lingers.
"If we are going to be a part of FSA, we might as
well be represented at the top, where the University of
Florida belongs," she said.
Preacher also detained by police last week
COPS, from page 1
said to about 50'students after the
incident in Turlington Plaza.
"I came a second time, someone
steals my sign, and I have to chase
her halfway across the campus
- off campus even. She physically
assaulted me."
Miller said he was protesting the
school's attitude toward homosexu-
ality because he feels that dormito-
ries are "recruitment grounds" for
homosexuals.
Miller said he first heard about
this "recruiting" from his daughter,
a resident assistant at Mallory Hall.
Resident assistants are encour-
aged to refer any student who has
homosexual thoughts, to homo-
sexual groups, which perpetrates
homosexuality, he said.
Miller said he is on Turlington
preaching -because UF created
the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and
Transgender Affairs department
last year. He said the campus at-
titude toward homosexuality is
"disturbing."
After preaching for about an hour,
Miller said he was going to meet with
Eugene Zdziarski, dean of students,
in order to try. and get the LGBT
Affairs department disbanded.
Arce was arrested on felony
charges of robbery by sudden snatch-
ing, said UPD spokesman Lt. Joe
Sharkey. The case will be reviewed
by the State Attorney's Office.
Arce also is being investigated by
Judicial Affairs in the matter.
Arce declined to comment. "
Hawkins, who watched the in-
cident, said the situation was very
interesting and shocking.
"You always see those guys out
there but that was very different
from how it usually ends up hap-
pening," Hawkins said.

Forget football,
Billy Ball is back
Don't lie and pretend you saw this coming, be-
cause Nostradamus couldn't have predicted this
stunner.
Only about 12 people believed the Gators were ca-
pable of playing like a top-10 team, and they have names
like Joakim and Jack Berry.
Al Horford, Taurean Green and Corey Brewer must
have known they were being held back by last year's le-
thargic backcourt that had talent but couldn't play legiti-
mate Billy Ball. Now the Gators are fresh off nationally
televised victories against Wake Forest and Syracuse at
the World's Most Famous Arena, and the new darlings
of college basketball play in your backyard.
They're impossible .not to like.
Just last week, a friend and self-described Gator
Hater told me he didn't care if Matt Walsh and Anthony
Roberson were out of the picture, the Gators would still
be softer than an asexual man at a
strip dub.
But after watching UF conquer
the Garden, even he couldn't
deny that this team has hardcore
written all over it.
Andrew "It's almost like -they traded
Anr their makeup for camouflage and
Abramson t high he els for army boots,"
Drew's Control he said.
aabramson@alligator.org The sporting world is a funny,
mysterious place. Just as you were
drenching your Gators memorabilia with gasoline after
another football season gone awry, the basketball team
appeared out of nowhere.
What's that, you already lit the match? Man, I can
smell the burning from here and it smells like a team
that Billy Donovan was born to coach.
A not-so-wise man once told me that basketball in
November means nothing, the stakes don't exist until
March.
Well for a school that would rather watch spring foot-
ball than a basketball tournament game, chew on this:
that football game with FSU on Saturday? It means noth-
ing. While there's pride at stake, losing to Steve Spurrier
was already much more shameful than a possible defeat
at the hands of Bobby Bowden.
Sure, a win against FSU could land the Gators a re-
cruit or two and slightly redeem Urban Meyer's loss in
Columbia, but win or lose UF is probably heading to the
Music City Bowl. So it's all about basketball, and those
two victories just propelled UF into the Top 25 while do-
ing all sorts of wonders for their RPI ranking.
Suddenly I'm more interested in watching this bas-
ketball team play in the O-Dome Friday night against
FSU then I am in watching Chris Leak look awkward
running the option Saturday afternoon against the
Seminoles.
It's still early, but I think the basketball team will ac-
complish what their football counterparts haven't done
in five years win the SEC.
And how about this ironic slap in the face? On the
day Walsh was waived by the Miami Heat, the new-look
Gators defeated Syracuse. Ouch.
Seniors, recruiting motivate UF
* THE GATORS HAVE PLENTY
TO PLAY FOR AGAINST FSU.
By IAN FISHER
Alligator Staff Writer
ifisher@alligator.org
The Gators and the Seminoles
have six losses between them. For
UF, there are no BCS implications in
Saturday's game, win or lose.
Thinking of staying home be-
cause it's Thanksgiving weekend
and this game doesn't mean any-
thing?
Think again.
"No matter what happens during
the regular season for either school,
it's always Florida-Florida State,"
senior linebacker Todd McCullough
said. "Both teams are going to be up
and fired and ready to go."
"No matter what happens
during the regular season
for either school, it's always
Florida-Florida State."
Todd McCullough
UF linebacker
Perhaps most importantly, many
recruits will be at the game, and
that's partly why Coach Urban
Meyer believes this game means a.
lot for the Gators' future.
"Especially the 11th game of
the year, if you find a way to win
this game, it just sets the tone for
not just the off-season program but
also recruiting, just the atmosphere
and the attitude of how you go after
them," Meyer said.
Meyer said that recruiting was
going really well after the Gators'
big victories against Tennessee and
Georgia earlier this year both
teams were ranked in the top four
at the time.
Meyer said he is still learning
about this rivalry.
"Obviously this runs deep within
a lot of people here at Florida,"
Meyer said. "I hear what our players
say, what people who are passionate
about our program say. Bragging
rights and families split down the
middle and those types of things."
Another reason Meyer would
like to finish strong is for the de-
parting seniors. The class has been
through two coaching changes,
three bowl losses and many other
ups and downs.
"I've always felt that way, that
these seniors have been through a
Tim Casey. Alligator StaH
Despite the fact that a victory won't earn UF a spot in a BCS bowl game,
linebacker Todd McCullough and the Gators still feel they have a lot to
lot," Meyer said. "They haven't had
the success that they all. envisioned
coming to the University of Florida
... There are some guys who have-
invested a lot in this program. There
are some good people that are play-
ing their last game in the Swamp
and I think it's really important to
play as hard as we can and get them
some success."
McCullough agreed and added
that part of the importance of this
game is staying undefeated at
home.
"This is it it's our last time in
the Swamp," he said. "We haven't
set out what we wanted to, do this
year, obviously, but we're undefeat-
ed in the Swamp right now and we
want to leave that for these younger
guys to carry on for the future and
get back that home-field advantage
we have."
But even if the Gators fall, Meyer
thinks that this game could help
recruiting.
"I think that also ties in to the
chemistry, where the guys will be
bouncing around here pretty good
if you win that game," Meyer said.
"That's what recruits like to see. I
don't know if it's actual results. I
think that plays a part, but it's also
just the attitude."
INJURY UPDATE: The Gators have
had injury problems all year and on
Sunday, Meyer updated the Gators'
status for Saturday's game.
Receiver Dallas Baker still has
a broken rib he played at about
60 percent against South Carolina.
Defensive end Ray McDonald, who
has been suffering a lingering knee
injury all season, played at about
50 percent. That probably won't
change, Meyer said.
* Tennessee's 28-24 loss to Van-
derbilt assured that the Volunteers
would finish under .500 and not
be eligible for a bowl game for the
first time since 1988.

UF ready for NCAA championships
By BRIAN STEELE
Alligator Writer
The UF men's cross country team
may have a secret.
The No. 20 Gators have been tak-
ing a tumble in the recent rankings,
but that may not matter going into
today's NCAA Championships.
"Other teams are probably writing
us off, but I still think we have a great
chance to be a top-10 team because
we run as a team," sophomore Henok
Lechebo said. "Whenever there's a big
meet we tend to come together."
While butterflies should be ex--
pected before one of the biggest races
of the runners' lives, the Gators are
trying to take a different approach.
"We take practice just like we do
the races, and go out and run just like
it's another day," Lechebo said. "We
know what we can do. We've run as a
team all year, this won't be any differ-
ent."
Even though the Gators did not
finish as well as they did at last year's
regional, that does not worry the
coaching staff. UF finished second last
year and third this season.
"I think we probably ran better
than last year at regionals, the region
just got better this
year," Coach Jeff
Pigg said. "I think
we ran solid, prob-
ably a top-20 perfor-
mance at regionals,
but we want a little
more than that at
Pigg NCAAs."
Now the season all comes down to
one race for the Gators.
"If we run really well we could be
top-10, the main thing is that we just
go perform like we're capable of and
hope that puts us at a high level."
SFCC WINS THRILLER: Apparently the
holidays came early for the Santa Fe
Community College men's basketball
team.
After giving up a 14-point lead, the
Saints received a few gifts down the
stretch against Indian River Community
College.
Santa Fe, which still led by 12 with
5:38 left in the second half but missed
several late free throws, was bailed out
by sophomore Torrance Walker with a
last-second steal that sealed the 68-67
victory.
Even though the young Saints
barely held on, Coach Chris Mowry
knows that this is all part of the learning
process.
"We had several opportunities
to fold and let them score down the
stretch," he said. "We took a charge, got
a couple of defensive rebounds. They
had several opportunities to win the
game, but we found a way to get some
stops when we needed to."
UF proud to win final
SEC Tournament
VOLLEYBALL, from page 19
The top-seeded Gators opened the tournament
on Friday, defeating, eighth-seeded Georgia 3-0
(30-25, 30-16, 30-20). Killingsworth's 16 kills led
the Gators, which hit at a .486 clip. It was UF's
40th consecutive win against the Bulldogs.
The second round proved to be much more
challenging for the Gators. UF fell behind early
to fourth-seeded Arkansas, losing two of the first
three games. Down 2-1, the Gators rose to the oc-
casion, cruising to victory in game four. After
reaching match point at 14-10, Arkansas fought
off three straight match points in game five, but
UF finished off the Razorbacks on a kill from
Kari Klinkenborg.
"We just have so much talent," Collymore
said. "This team is not just one position."
The tournament title was UF's 12th in the last
14 seasons.
"We wanted to be the team that put the final
name on there," Cheronis said. "Hopefully there
won't be another tournament and the Gators will
forever be SEC Tournament champions."

Collymore leads Gators to SEC Tournament title
* THE GATORS DEFEATED ALABAMA
IN A THREE-GAME SWEEP.
By BRYAN JONES
Alligator Writer
It could not have been a more fitting fi-
nale.
Jane Collymore's eyes lit up. She leapt
high in the air, swung her right arm back
and smacked the daylights out of the ball. In
a blur, the ball fell to an empty spot on the
other side of the net.
In a blur, her Southeastern Conference ca-
reer was over. In a flash, she tallied the final
kill in SEC Tournament history.
With that Collymore kill, the No. 4 Gators
defeated Alabama 3-0 (30-25, 30-25, 30-17)
in Tuscaloosa, Ala., to win the final SEC
Tournament.
With the SEC's decision to add more games
to the regular season schedule beginning in
2006, there will no longer be enough time in
the year to field the tournament.
"This is a new era in the SEC," Coach Mary
Wise said. "This is by far our greatest achieve-
ment in the SEC Tournament."
Collymore, a two-time All-American and
a two-time SEC Player of the Year, finished
the match with 13 kills and five
Gators digs. She was named the Most
Volleyball Valuable Player of the tourna-
ment.
It may have been the
savvy play of setter Angie McGinnis and
the inside presence of middle blocker Kisya
Killingsworth, however, that put the Gators
over the top in the final match.
McGinnis finished the match with 38 as-
sists and eight digs, but her four kills and four
blocks are what caught Alabama off-guard.
"Angie has the ability to make wild plays,"
. Wise said. "And she has the ability to make
everyone around her better."
Killingsworth led the Gators. with 16 kills
on .591 hitting, to go along with four blocks.
"Kisya has a fierce, competitive side to
her," assistant coach Nick Cheronis said. "She
really wanted to win this match today.",

Defense pushes UF to victory
By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer
dtreat@alligator.org
NEW YORK He stopped,
jumped, flicked his wrist and with
a little help from the backboard,
the ball finally fell through.
And all Gerry McNamara could
do was shake his head.
It was too little, too late.
Led by another spirited 23-
point, six-assist effort by Taurean
Green, who was named the
tournament's Most Valuable
Player, the Gator4 defEatcd No. 16
Syracuse 75-70 Friday at Madison
Square Garden to win the Coaches
vs. Cancer Classic.
"I'm just happy we won the
tournament, man," Green said.
"We just came out here and.
shocked the whole nation basi-
cally."
The game was dominated by
a series of runs throughout the
second half, as both teams went on
extended scoring spurts. The final
run, a 10-0 burst, punctuated by a
Green three that gave the Gators
their largest lead at 72-62 with 1:
52 left in the game, sent the largely
pro-Syracuse crowd scrambling
for the exits.
"The thing about these guys,
which is good in the game of
basketball, is that sometimes they
have a short term memory," UF
coach Billy Donovan said. "They
have no idea what's happening,
they just play hard, they compete,
they just keep playing."
Sustaining UF through
Syracuse's final burst were a pair
of Horford jumpers from the top
of the key.
. He finished with 11 points and
was named to the All-Tournament
team along with MVP Green.
"I'm just happy we won
the tournament, man. We
just came out here and
shocked the whole nation
basically."-
Taurean Green
Coaches vs. Cancer MVP
"Horford's two shots were
huge," Syracuse coach Jim
Boeheim said. "They were back-
breakers, but that's what deter-
mines games they made the
offensive plays that had to be
made."
In a parallel to their victory
the night before, the Gators were
largely able to keep control of the
game's pace and spent a majority
of the game in the lead.
The largest deficit UF faced
was three late in the first half after
Syracfuse's Demetris Nichols bur-
ied his fourth three of the half to-
give the Orange a 44-41 lead.
Nichols 18 first-half points (he
finished with 24) were a career
high.
"I thought we were very fortu-
nate to only be down a point at the
half," Donovan said. "We were 3-
10 from the free throw line; every-
thing else was pretty even across
the stat sheet."
The 3-10 from the line was only
the start of an abysmal 13-27 night
from the charity stripe for the
Gators, as they ended up shooting
almost as well from behind the
arc (43.5%) as from the foul line
(48.1%).
UF, however, frustrated
McNamara, a preseason Wooden
Award candidate, to 5-19 shoot-
ing, including 3-11 from three.
Donovan gave much of the
credit to the Gators' frontcourt.
"We really felt like our bigs
had to get out there and show
and make sure he didn't come off
[screens] to shoot," Donovan said.
"We really tried to force to him to
throw the ball back to [Terrence]
Roberts, [Matt] Gorman or
[Darryl] Watkins.
"I thought the reason we were
able to do a good job on him de-
fensively was because our bigs did
a great job showing on screens, on
underneath out-of-bounds plays,
their half-court offense and pick-
and-rolls."-

Gators win Seton Hall Classic C
MAW .1 4 IA1 ,
By NICK ZACCARDI tacked on a layup as time expired.
and TIM CASEY The play down the stretch of
A Alligator Writers
seniors Davis and Eshe showed a
lot of maturity, UF coach Carolyn
Peck said.
"I think [Brooks'] one of
the best freshmen we've
had in our program in a
while. She doesn't play like
a freshman."
Dalila Eshe
UF forward
"They've been in situations be-
fore, tight-situations," she said. "I
had a flashback of their freshman
year to where they are now, and
they wanted the ball at this point
to make the good decisions, and to
make and finish plays."
Senior Sarah Lowe missed
the game because of her Rhodes
scholarship interview, so it was her
freshman understudy that stepped
up to lead the scoring attack. Point
guard Sha Brooks played all 40 min-
utes, compiling 18 points half of
SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. When
Brittany Davis sank a lay-in with 26
seconds left in a tied game, she knew
what her final shot would mean a
shopping spree for her and the rest
of the Gators.
Knotted at 48-48, Danielle Santos
found Davis for the game-winning
score in a 52-48 win against Seton
Hall on Saturday night, assuring the
Gators a post-game trip back to New
York City.
"The criteria was that if we won,
we were going back into. the city",
Davis said. "We're going to Tirres
Square, walk around, take pictures,
things like that. We're girls, we like
shopping."
UF (2-0) held host Seton Hall
scoreless over the final three min-
utes of the game, rallying back from
a 48-45 deficit.
The Pirates' final attempt, a Kari
Shutz 3-pointer, rimmed out with 13
seconds left. Depree Bowden picked
up the rebound and Dalila Eshe
them from behind the arc while
recording seven steals.
UF shot 33.9 percent from
the field and, although the shots
weren't falling, Brooks put UF in a
position to win.
Fellow guards Depree Bowden
and Kim Dye combined to go 0-9

Walter Hodge and Al Horford wrestle for a loose ball in'Friday's 75-70 win against Syracuse in New York. UF surprised the college basketball world by winning the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. & UF WINS COACHES VS. CANCER TOURNAMENT. By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer NEW YORK -Blink, and you missed it. And if you did, you missed some of the most entertaining basketball you're likely to see all season. When UF and No. 16 Syracuse locked horns in the finals of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic, the Gators escaped with a 75-70 victory. But it may have been UF's fans who emerged as the ultimate winners. Throughout the game's first half, the two teams played at a breakneck pace, with neither willing to commit a turnover or a foul. "I thought the pace of the game the first 12 minutes was about as fast a pace as I've ever seen," UF coach Billy Donovan said. "I couldn't get any subs in the game, our guys were tired, and the game just went back and forth." In fact, the pace of the game was so quick early that the un"Recyclet\ MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2005 der-16-minute TV timeout didn't come until 12:05 remained in the half, nearly four full minutes behind schedule. It left players on both sides, the Gators in particular, gasping for air. Joakim Noah was particularly gassed, leaving some to speculate that he was actually sick. "I was exhausted," Noah said. "I'm not even sick, I feel great now, I'm ready to go. Men's Basketball "I don't Syracuse 70 think I've ever Florida 75 played 8 minutes in a -row like that as a Gator, and if you're going to be on the top of the press for 8 minutes, well, you're going to be exhausted. That's just part of the game." By the time the breathtaking sequence was over, Lee Humphrey had already buried three 3-pointers and Taurean Green had nailed two, forcing the Orange to scrap their 2-3 zone defense in favor of a man-to-man scheme, and the.

Joe Goldberg was voted chairman of the Florida Student Association during a Friday meeting at the University of South Florida. The association advocates for the nearly 250,000 students who attend the state's universities to the Florida Board of Education, the Florida Legislature and other state agencies. "I feel very honored that the students have put their trust in me to carry out that responsibility," Goldberg said. "I think that I have a good grasp on the issues. I domy homework. I make sure I am prepared." The position calls for Goldberg to lead the monthly FSA meetings and serve as the sole student on the Board of Governors, the state authority on higher education. Goldberg said he is going to ensure that the Bright Futures scholarship is protected, tuition increases are as low as possible, and block tuition does not become a reality He said one of the main responsibilities 6f his new post is to advocate for students in Tallahassee, adding that his relationship with state legislators and members of the Board of Govemors will give him a leg up on keeping students satisfied. "I know them very well," he said. Goldberg said he is the first UF student body president in about eight years to be chairman.

Joe Goldberg Student body president By KATIE WILKINSON Alligator Writer A UF student was arrested for stealing a Turlington Plaza minister's sign, which read "Beware queer university," Friday afternoon. Jennifer Arce, 23, approached campus evangelist David Miller from behind, snatched the sign and fled on foot toward University Avenue on Newell Road, where she was stopped by University Police. Miller, who was detained by UTD on Nov. 10 for disturbing nearby classes while preaching, chased after Arce, yelling, "Catch that thief! Beware of thief!" said witness Lauren Dobson. Arce ran through Turlington Plaza, past a game of 4-square being played by about 30 students, who cheered her on. At precisely 1:46 p.m. Friday, about 25 students stood atop 25 chairs and raised 25 bananas in the air. The strangers toasted their fruit, peeled and devoured. See story, pg. 5. Miller pursued her while calling UPD on his cell phone, Dobson said. Several students watched them run down the road to University Avenue, where two police cars were waiting to arrest Arce. Public "They put her in handSafety cuffs and put her in the police car," Dobson said. "Students who walked by and saw the situation began yelling at the preacher, calling him a homophobe and a jerk." After giving the police a sworn complaint of what happened, Miller went back out to Turlington to continue preaching about 40 minutes later, said witness Randolph Hawkins, who was tabling on Turlington at the time.

"It was really funny, two guys and one girl rushing into Walgreens," said Cepero, 20, an animal science and biology junior. "They looked at us weird." About 140 others hunted for the condom as well as other items Saturday during the Great Gator Hunt, a citywide scavenger hunt organized by UF's chapter of the American Marketing Association. Cepero and her teamntates found out through other participants that the condoms were at X Mart Adult Supercenter. Her team was one of the between 35 and 40 that participated in the association's hunt, themed "The Rich and The Famous." Participants had to use clues to find 15 businesses around Gainesville. At each location, teams had to get an "autograph" and decipher a clue to arrive at the next location. The final clue led the teams to an afterparty, where the first-place team of Kristy Staudenmaier and three friends 00 for the chapter, which does not receive Student Government funding. "It was surprisingly fun," said Kathleen Evans, 18, an animal science freshman who participated with friends Julia Spitznagel, 19, and Meena Nuthi, 19, both sophomores.

They did it because "it was either this or homework," but learned a lot about Gainesville along the way, Spitznagel said. With this year's Great Gator Hunt, AMA was also trying to set a world record for the largest urban scavenger hunt. AMA fundraising director Brittany Nethers said the paperwork was in progress to apply for the distinction. Governors push diversity By LYNDSEY LEWIS Alligator Writer Ilewis@alligator.org As UF officials attempt to broaden diversity on campus, the state Board of Governors is also taking steps to increase minority enrollment at Florida schools through a new group called the Access and Diversity Team. The body that oversees Florida's 11 public universities approved the group's creation at its Thursday meeting. The team's main purpose will be to research ways to improve strategies for recruiting and enrolling minority students from around the state. "The team is to examine the panoply of programs and strategies used to broaden diversity of the State University System enrollment," Board spokesman Bill Edmonds wrote in an e-mail. The group will be comprised of representatives employed within Florida's K-12 school system, as they often work firsthand with minority students attempting to navigate the college admissions process. Meanwhile, UF's Committee on Educational Policy and Strategy also discussed minority enrollment and the Florida Opportunity Scholarship at its Friday meeting. The scholarship, aimed at needy students who are the first in their families to attend UF college, will be Administration implemented for the first time in Summer 2006 and is projected to cost nearly $1.5 million during its first year. The committee also discussed proposals to raise Health, Athletic, and Activity & Service fees by a total of 95 cents per credit hour, which the Florida Legislature set as the cap for yearly fee raises. The proposal submitted to the committee calls for a 60-cent raise in the A&S Fee and a 35-cent raise in Health Fees, while Athletic Fees were not allotted any increases.

4, ALLIGATOR U MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2005 CL 0) 0. 0 Newspaper geared toward Jewish students to hit stands M THE PAPER, AS YET UNNAMED, IS FINALIZING ITS STAFF. By LYNDSEY BECHTEL Alligator Contributing Writer When Jewish students come to UF, they feel that they must make a serious compromise, according to a local rabbi. Students think they must isolate themselves to continue their faith or assimilate into the larger college culture. "This simply isn't true," said Rabbi Yonah Schiller. "People can have Jewish experiences every day." UF Hillel, a Jewish community center for students located across the street from campus, will offer these students a new connection to their religion through an as-yet unnamed Jewish newspaper that will circulate every other week beginning in the Spring. "It's a Jewish value to play an integral part in the local and national community," Schiller said. "If I regulate my Jewish life to one building or day a year, my experience has fallen short." According to Schiller, there are approximately 6,000 Jewish students on campus, more than any other school in Student the Southeast. Hillel's listserv has Life about 2,000 subscribers. Plans for the paper include a women's column, and Schiller said he hopes to have Mike D from the hip-hop act Beastie Boys write about his experiences with Judaism. Study-abroad students also will send in articles about Jewish subcultures. "There is this up-and-coming, new generation of Jews," Schiller said. "Hey, you can be hip and be kosher at the same time." Public relations junior Laura Jones is part of the newspaper's founding team and said she wants to expand her faith. "Judaism is about old traditions and cultures for most people," she said. "Once I got to high school, I felt the pressure to go out on Friday nights instead of go to temple for Shabbat." The paper's staff will be finalized after Thanksgiving. "I stand behind my work.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 5 Flash mob brings mystery and excitement to UF By HEATHER RAPP Alligator Contributing Writer At precisely 1:46 p.m. Friday, about 25 students stood atop 25 chairs and raised 25 bananas in the air. The strangers toasted their fruit, peeled and devoured. "I don't get it," yelled a dinerturned-audience member in the Reitz Union Food Court. Confusion and applause rippled through the bystanders. Two minutes later, it was all ever. The bananas were gone, as were their spontaneous consumers. With that, the fourth UF flash mob was complete. What was that? A flash mob occurs when strangers congregate at asynchronized time and place, perform an often-obscure activity and disperse immediately. Usually, they've collaborated through e-mail or cell phone text messages. UF sophomore Salvatore Joseph Picataggio, 20, uses Facebook.com to organize the UF gatherings. "It's like a camera flash," Picataggio explained. "It's there, and you notice it. Then it's gone." His flash mobs have never been captured on camera before, and Picataggio said people participate because they enjoy being anonymous. "They're so spontaneous," said freshman Sean McCaughan. "They're surreal. It's like, screw reality, do something random." He said he slept through Fall's first flash mob that consisted of repeatedly yelling "Can you hear me now?" into cell phones on Turlington Plaza. So this time, he was determined to participate. How it started The term "flash mob" originated from "Flash Crowd," a. 1971 science fiction novella that suggested if instant teleportation technology became widespread, uncontrollable crowds would flock from all over the world to the scene of any event, according to the author's Web site. The first documented flash mob occurred in June 2003 when 100 people gathered in the home furnishings department of a Macy's department store. As an e-mail instructed, the flash mobbers told sales associates that they were purchasing a "love rug" for the commune the entire group lived in, Picataggio said. Thousands of similarly bizarre congregations popped up in Asia,. Australia and Europe. While the international craze has been described as "random acts of pointlessness" by British publications, many flash-mob organizers wield political agendas, and the phenomenon persists today. On Nov. 1, demonstrators were invited to protest anti-bicycle laws at a metro station in Bucharest, Romania, as posted on Flashmob.com, an international announcement forum. But Picataggio said .he has no intention of putting a political spin on his events, nor is he atet the pace. help navigate a complex and clian g tworia. uumae trOUOleG teens toward a bright new horizon.

The group performs absurd stunts at random in public places. tempting to revive the craze. The man in the orange hat Unlike this semester's "Undie 500,0 masterminded by Beau Bergeron, the first rule of flash mobs is you do not talk about flash mobs. That's what Picataggio said sets "underground" collaborations apart from other publicized events. "It's almost performance art," he said. "Almost." The public relations major noted that while anyone can join the group, "the events themselves are pretty secret." Because. the 200-plus group is comprised of strangers, Picataggio can only hope his messages are enticing. "I don't know who's going to be there," he said. "That's the excitement of it." In every message, he tells members to show up and "meet the man in the orange hat." Picataggio's fluorescent hat is not related to flash mobs, but ,wasen, Rehab Services at Meridian Behavioral Healthcare is getting ready to share the Holidays with the folks we serve.

6, ALLIGATOR U MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2005 Editoria Meritless perk Bright Futures rewards average students The Editorial Board isn't going to win any friends this week. We've decided a Florida tradition close to students' hearts must change its ways. Florida Bright Futures needs to stiffen its standards before it sinks the academic credibility of our university. We all love the scholarship. It means many of us can go to college for free or for a very discounted price. We're able to attend a public university that rivals many. expensive out-of-state schools. And getting the money is close to effortless -qualified students sign up, and the scholarship is automatically dispensed. But while we would like to give everyone a chance to get a good education, we can't rationalize giving meritbased scholarships to students who haven't displayed much merit. To qualify for the Florida Medallion Scholars Award, which pays 75 percent of tuition, students only need to score a 970 on the SAT. The average SAT score is roughly 1000. Should a purportedly merit-based scholarship have standards that dip below average achievement? We like Bright Futures because it's easy to get. We don't need to put forth much effort to secure it, and we have come to consider it our educational right. But in the long run, we all lose when money is given away so loosely. Bright Futures has succeeded at keeping good college students within the state. When public universities offer a good education for free, students find it hard to travel out of state, far from their families, to a college that will cost them $40,000 a year. Undoubtedly, UF owes the excellence of its student body to Bright Futures. However, the highest standards of Bright Futures are falling behind UF's entrance qualifications. And with many students receiving the scholarship, tuition is kept ridiculously low by a state government that can't, or won't, pay higher tuition for Bright Futures recipients. Instead of everyone paying their share for education, out-of-state and graduate students carry an unfair burden. UF is at a standstill. Classes grow larger, and professors are forced to teach more and more students. We might like going to school cheaply, but at what price of education? Nothing worthwhile is obtained for free. Bright Futures once helped raise the bar for Florida universities; now it's impeding their growth. Instead of discerning by merit or need, the state gives the scholarship to almost everyone qualified for college. About 24,000 of 33,000 UF undergraduates receive at least a 75-percent Bright Futures Scholarship. Many who receive the award dor't need the money. If the standards were set higher, only overachieving students would get the award, leaving extra money for need-based scholarships and allowing tuition to be raised to a more appropriate level. Students who can't afford the higher tuition would be able to receive need-based aid. And students who could aff ord it would still be in a better financial situation than if they had gone out of state. We're in a world where college education is a possibility for everyone. Bright Futures has enabled thousands to receive an education without going into debt, and public universities are providing quality education at an affordable price. But our goal of equality should not trump our search for exceptionality. Rewards aren't for everyone; they're for those who have risen above the crowd. *lte independent florida alligatorIF2 Mike Girnignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR Emily Yehle OPINIONS EDITOR Tom Durrenberger, Scott Gilton, Andrew Meyer EDITORIAL BOARD The Alligator encourages comments from readers.

Opinions rl Guest column C nteigeni design' hould "intelligent design" be taught in schools? I say absolutely. It is an excellent topic for discussion in philosophy class or in a comparative mythology class. Why does it not belong in a science class? "Intelligent design" is not science. It does not behave like science, and it does not produce like science. "Intelligent design" is a movement aimed at social and political reform hiding under the guise of science. The motivations of the "intelligent design" movement are clearly religious, and these religious implications were laid bare at the recent Scopes II trial in Dover, Pa., and in documents distributed by the "intelligent design" movement. "Intelligent design" found a loophole in the 1987 Edwards v. Aguillard Supreme Court decision that struck down the teaching of creationism. They now want to use that loophole to insert a theocratically based social-reform agenda through a back door. I find it equally amazing that 100 scientists were found who were "skeptical of the claims of random mutation and natural selection." How many of those 100 scientists have published their "problems"? Zero. There are few, if any, peer-reviewed articles on "intelligent design." I'm also willing to bet that every single one of the 100 scientists has benefited directly from studies of evolutionary biology. I'm willing to bet they are healthy and able to sign the document because they have been treated with newer strains of antibiotics developed to keep ahead of the random mutations and natural selective processes that created antibiotic-resistant bacteria. So what does "intelligent design" offer? Not much. The conclusion of "intelligent-design scientists" is that if something looks complex, then it could not have arisen by natural means and therefore an "intelligent designer" is responsible. That boils down to: "Hey, I'm a smart scientist, and if I cannot figure out how this might have evolved, than there really is only one 'thing' smarter than me, so God did it." Supporters make the claim that the blood-clotting cascade is "irreducibly complex" and therefore must have been ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/opinions -&-O0b JL 1 o 0e equal to giving up Joseph Meert designed. If we accept this conclusion, Speaking Out what fruit does it bear? How does the hemophiliac benefit from this knowledge? "Intelligent design," for all its hyperbole, is really about giving up, Scientists do not give up when faced with a seemingly insolvable problem. Good science does not move forward via political lobbying. Einstein did not insist that relativity be taught in physics class. He argued his case before his peers through scientific publication and through scientific presentations to those peers. He provided testable hypotheses, and when those hypotheses were confirmed by experimentation and observation, his ideas made it into high school physics textbooks. Einstein did not take out a large advertisement in The New York Times stating, "We the undersigned have serious problems with Newtonian gravity." He did not hire a lawyer to have relativity inserted in high school textbooks. He did not insist on a disclaimer in textbooks that said, "Newtonian gravity is a controversial theory." I would also like to add that signing a document is a fallacious argument called "appeal to authority." A counterexample meant to demonstrate the illogical nature of this argument was conducted by the National Center for Science Education. Its "Project Steve" asked for signatures by scientists named Steve who find the evidence for evolution compelling. So far, more than 650 scientists named Steve have signed the document. If appeals to authority are compelling, then evolution leads "intelligent design" by a 6.5 to 1 margin using only scientists named Steve! Lastly, the teaching of "intelligent design" may be illegal. The test case in Dover is likely to provide a first test for the legality of teaching "intelligent design" in classrooms. I predict that no matter which way the decision goes in this case, the movement will continue lobbying pressure and will continue to fail at producing fruitful scientific evidence for its claims.

Letters to the Editor Hull's speech inspiring, not angering If Nicole Rohmnann is a representative example of a reporter at the Alligator, I shudder to think of the "news" I am receiving. I recall two people leaving the speech and their "storming out" looked more like a quiet exit. At one point, an enthusiastic attendee broke into a fit of applause when the speaker talked about the immorality of all antitrust legislation. If Rohmann employed the use of a Q-tip, the speech she heard by Gary Hull would have left her thinking the following: That racism is the belief that one's race determines one's identity. That multiculturalism teaches that identity is based on skin color/ethicity but claims its goal is to end racism. That there are objective standards to which cultures can be rated. For example, Westem culture is objectively better than Nazi Germany. It is objectively better than cultures that deny reason, individual rights and technological advancements. That Westem culture is not perfect -its contradictions included slavery and the oppression of women. That the solution to racism is the realization that the individual should be judged as an individual, possessing free will. Hull presented one of the most positive, inspiring speeches I have ever been witness to. He-spoke of the most rational, able race of all: mankind. Earth is round. The proof is all arou fossils that are always being uncove of which, by the way, date back to: 6,000 years ago) show us the steps tion. It is a very logical answer.

8, ALLIGATOR U MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2005 ENTERTAINMENT P AMtFM fahf u join tog-et"her to top weekend receipts By ANNA SUGGS, Alligator Contributing Writer Gainesville residents who wanted a first glimpse of the latest installment in the "Harry Potter" franchise had to get their tickets well before they ever set foot in the theater. By 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights, all of that day's screenings of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" were sold out, according to a Regal Gainesville Cinema 14 receptionist. The franchise's fourth cinematic installment, "Goblet of Fire" took in an estimated $101.43 million nationwide during its opening weekend, making it the fourth-largest box-office opener ever behind "Spider-Man" in 2002, "Star Wars: Episode IIIRevenge of the Sith" in May and "Shrek 2" in 2004, according to Box Office Mojo's Web site. The parking lot of the Butler Plaza theater was spilling over to nearby businesses' parking and lawns Friday as fans lined up for one of the film's 24 showtimes. Fifteen-year-olds Lauren Hudson and Valerie Fowler, from Bell, wor round, black-rimmed glasses with repair tape on the bridge, signature of orphaned wizard Harry Potter. Hudson said she's read all of the books five times each and watches all of the movies once a month. "I like 'em a lot," she said. "It's kind of dorky, but cool." Both agreed the film was exciting, though it did not include everything from the book. Hudson said they planned together about four month bought tickets Nov. 12. "I like 'em (the books a lot.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 9 Former skeptic of group becomes chairman Gators' play reflects Donovan s gritty style BASKETBALL, from page 1 dominantly Syracuse crowd simultaneously exhaling. The up-tempo ball and consistent pressing may finally mark the return of Billy Ball, something that Donovan himself alluded to after the game. "I think that we're going to get back to playing a little bit more the way I'd like to play," Donovan said. "Running, pressing, getting up and down the floor, trying to create turnovers, trying to play in transition." That style of basketball reflects the way Donovan played at Providence. In his senior season, Donovan hit 237 threes in 34 games, along with 82 steals and 243 assists, while leading his team to the Final Four. The Gators' play in the early going Donovan forced the Orange into a man-to-man defense, which ultimately wore them down as the game progressed. "I thought our team was extremely tired the first 12 minutes," Donovan said. "And I looked at Syracuse, and I did not think Syracuse was that winded because we were extending so much energy up the floor pressing and then having to come back and play man-to-man. "For them in the zone, I don't want to say that in zone you rest, but you're obviously not chasing guys over screens, you're not showing on pick-and-rolls, you're not having to constantly move; you're playing an area, and that conserves energy." FSA, from page 1 Goldberg said he arrived at the meeting and was unsure of whether to run for the position, but other student body presidents' support at the meeting convinced him he was suited for the spot. University of North Florida Student Body President Tom Foran said he nominated Goldberg because of his strong character. "He has good insight," Foran said, noting that Goldberg is usually up-to-date on state education issues. PSA is looking into the possibility of bringing two more medical schools to Florida, something that the Board of Governors is deliberating on. FSA Executive Director Mike Fischer said the University of Central Florida and Florida International University have expressed interest. "They're very expensive," he said of the possible medical school additions. He said the Board of Governors is also thinking of "instigating" a technology fee. Preacher also detained by police last week COPS, from page 1 said to about 50'students after the incident in Turlington Plaza. "I came a second time, someone steals my sign, and I have to chase her halfway across the campus -off campus even. She physically assaulted me." Miller said he was protesting the school's attitude toward homosexuality because he feels that dormitories are "recruitment grounds" for homosexuals. Miller said he first heard about this "recruiting" from his daughter, a resident assistant at Mallory Hall. Resident assistants are encouraged to refer any student who has homosexual thoughts to homosexual groups, which perpetrates homosexuality, he said. Miller said he is on Turlington preaching because UF created the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Affairs department last year. He said the campus attitude toward homosexuality is "disturbing." After preaching for about an hour, Miller said he was going to meetwith Eugene Zdziarski, dean of students, in order to try and get the LGBT Affairs department disbanded. Arce was arrested on felony charges of robbery by sudden snatching, said UPD spokesman Lt. Joe Sharkey. The case will be reviewed by the State Attorney's Office. Arce also is being investigated by Judicial Affairs in the matter. Arce declined to comment. Hawkins, who watched the incident, said the situation was very interesting and shocking. "You always see those guys out there but that was very different from how it usually ends up happening," Hawkins said. C-1 Your future in medicine.

However, he said when he went to his first FSAmeeting later in the year, he was all for it. ,$tud e nt -"You're sitting in a room with 10 ___em____ other student body presidents, who are trustees of their universities, who do the same things that we do at UP," Goldberg said. Fischer said he is confident in Goldberg. "When you're a college student, it is awful hard to be taken seriously," he said. "A lot of people tend to overlook college students. Joe never has that problem." Student Sen. Allison Cullin, leader of the Impact Party, Goldberg's opposing Student Government party, said the debate about whether FSA is helpful lingers. "If we are going to be a part of FSA, we might as well be represented at the top, where the University of Florida belongs," she said.

OrtB MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org Forget football, Billy Ball is back on't lie and pretend you saw this coming, because Nostradamus couldn't have predicted this stunner. Only about 12 people believed the Gators were capable of playing like a top-10 team, and they have names like Joakin and Jack Berry. Al Horford, Taurean Green and Corey Brewer must have known they were being held back by last year's lethargic backcourt that had talent but couldn't play legitimate Billy Ball. Now the Gators are fresh off nationally televised victories against Wake Forest and Syracuse at the World's Most Famous Arena, and the new darlings of college basketball play in your backyard. They're impossible not to like. Just last week, a friend and self-described Gator Hater told me he didn't care if Matt Walsh and Anthony Roberson were out of the picture, the Gators would still be softer than an asexual man at a strip club. But after watching UF conquer the Garden, even he couldn't deny that this team has hardcore written all over it. Andrew "It's almost like they traded their makeup for camouflage and Abramson their high heels for army boots," Drew's Control he said. aabramson@alligator.org The sporting world is a funny, mysterious place. Just as you were drenching your Gators memorabilia with gasoline after another football season gone awry, the basketball team appeared out of nowhere. What's that, you already lit the match? Man, I can smell the burning from here and it smells like a team that Billy Donovan was born to coach. A not-so-wise man once told me that basketball in November means nothing, the stakes don't exist until March. Well for a school that would rather watch spring football than a basketball tournament game, chew on this: that football game with FSU on Saturday? It means nothing. While there's pride at stake, losing to Steve Spurrier was already much more shameful than a possible defeat at the hands of Bobby Bowden. Sure, a win against FSU could land the Gators a recruit or two and slightly redeem Urban Meyer's loss in Columbia, but win or lose UF is probably heading to the Music City Bowl. So it's all about basketball, and those two victories just propelled UF into the Top 25 while doing all sorts of wonders for their RPI ranking. Suddenly I'm more interested in watching this basketball team play in the O-Dome Friday night against FSU then I am in watching Chris Leak look awkward running the option Saturday afternoon against the Seminoles. -It's still early, but I think the basketball team will accomplish what their football counterparts haven't done in five years -win the SEC. And how about this ironic slap in the face? On the day Walsh was waived by the Miami Heat, the new-look Gators defeated Syracuse. Ouch. Seniors, recruiting motivate UF E THE GATORS HAVE PLENTY TO PLAY FOR AGAINST FSU. By IAN FISHER Alligator Staff Writer ifisher@alligator.org The Gators and the Seminoles have six losses between them. For UF, there are no BCS implications in Saturday's game, win or lose. Thinking of staying home because it's Thanksgiving weekend and this game doesn't mean anything? Think again. "No matter what happens during the regular season for either school, it's always Florida-Florida State," senior linebacker Todd McCullough said. "Both teams are going to be up and fired and ready to go." "No matter what happens during the regular season for either school, it's always Florida-Florida State." Todd McCullough UF linebacker Perhaps most importantly, many recruits will be at the game, and that's partly why Coach Urban Meyer believes this game means a lot for the Gators' future. "Especially the 11th game of the year, if you find a way to win this game, it just sets the tone for not just the off-season program but also recruiting, just the atmosphere and the attitude of how you go after them," Meyer said. Meyer said that recruiting was going really well after the Gators' big victories against Tennessee and Georgia earlier this year -both teams were ranked in the top four at the time. Meyer said he is still learning about this rivalry. "Obviously this runs deep within a lot of people here at Florida," Meyer said. "I hear what our players say, what people who are passionate about our program say. Bragging rights and families split down the middle and those types of things." Another reason Meyer would like to finish strong is for the departing seniors. The class has been through two coaching changes, three bowl losses and many other ups and downs. "I've always felt that way, that these seniors have been through a Despite the fact that a victory won't earn UF a spot in a BCS bowl game, linebacker Todd McCullough and the Gators still feel they have a lot to lot," Meyer said. "They haven't had the success that they all envisioned coming to the University of Florida .There are some guys who have invested a lot in this program. There are some good people that are playing their last game in the Swamp and I think it's really important to play as hard as we can and get them some success." McCullough agreed and added that part of the importance of this game is staying undefeated at home. "This is it -it's our last time in the Swamp," he said. "We haven't set out what we wanted to do this year, obviously, but we're undefeated in the Swamp right now and we want to leave that for these younger guys to carry on for the future and get back that home-field advantage we have." But even if the Gators fall, Meyer thinks that this game could help recruiting. "I think that also ties in to the chemistry, where the guys will be bouncing around here pretty good if you win that game," Meyer said. "That's what recruits like to see. I don't know if it's actual results. I think that plays a part, but it's also just the attitude." INJURY UPDATE: The Gators have had injury problems all year and on Sunday, Meyer updated the Gators' status for Saturday's game. Receiver Dallas Baker still has a broken rib -he played at about 60 percent against South Carolina. Defensive end Ray McDonald, who has been suffering a lingering knee injury all season, played at about 50 percent. That probably won't change, Meyer said.

18, ALLIGATOR U MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21,2005 By BRIAN STEELE Alligator Writer The UF men's cross country team may have a secret. The No. 20 Gators have been taking a tumble in the recent rankings, but that may not matter going into today's NCAA Championships. "Other teams are probably writing us off, but I still think we have a great chance to be a top-10 team because we run as a team," sophomore Henok Lechebo said. "Whenever there's a big meet we tend to come together." While butterflies should be expected before one of the biggest races of the runners' lives, the Gators are trying to take a different approach. "We take practice just like we do the races, and go out and run just like it's another day," Lechebo said. "We know what we can do. We've run as a, team all year, this won't be any different." Even though the Gators did not finish as well as they did at last year's regional, that does not worry the coaching staff. UF finished second last year and third this season. "I think we probably ran better than last year at regionals, the region just got better this year," Coach Jeff Figg said. "I think we ran solid, probably a top-20 performance at regionals, but we want a little more than that at NCAAs." Now the season all comes down to one race for the Gators. "If we run really well we could be top-10, the main thing is that we just go perform like we're capable of and hope that puts us at a high level." SFCC WINS THRILLER: Apparently the holidays came early for the Santa Fe Community College men's basketball team. After giving up a 14-point lead, the Saints received a few gifts down the stretch againstIndianRiver Community College. Santa Fe, which still led by 12 with 5:38 left in the second half but missed several late free throws, was bailed out by sophomore Torrance Walker with a last-second steal that sealed the 68-67 victory. Even though the young Saints barely held on, Coach Chris Mowry knows that this allpart of the learning process. "We had several opportunities to fold and let them score down the stretch," he said. "We took a charge, got a couple of defensive rebounds. They had several opportunities to win the game, but we found a way to get some stops when we needed to."

Killingsworth's 16 kills led the Gators, which hit at a .486 clip. It was UF's 40th consecutive win against the Bulldogs. The second round proved to be much more challenging for the Gators. UF fell behind early to fourth-seeded Arkansas, losing two of the first three games. Down 2-1, the Gators rose to the occasion, cruising to victory in game four. After reaching match point at 14-10, Arkansas fought off three straight match points in game five, but UF finished off the Razorbacks on a kill from Kari Klinkenborg. "We just have so much talent," Collymore said. "This team is not just one position." The tournament title was UF's 12th in the last 14 seasons. "We wanted to be the team that put the final name on there," Cheronis said. "Hopefully there won't be another tournament and the Gators will forever be SEC Tournament champions." 6 4 0 0 IV\A A

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 19 oil y ore le ds Ga t ors to SEC Tourna ment title IM THE GATORS DEFEATED ALABAMA IN A THREE-GAME SWEEP. By BRYAN JONES Alligator Writer It could not have been a more fitting finale. Jane Collymore's eyes lit up. She leapt high in the air, swung her right arm back and smacked the daylights out of the ball. In a blur, the ball fell to an empty spot on the By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer dtreat@atligator.org NEW YORK -He stopped, j umped, flicked his wrist and with a little help from the backboard, the ball finally fell through. And all Gerry McNamara could do was shake his head. It was too little, too late. Led by another spirited 23point, six-assist effort by Taurean Green, who was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player, the Gators 'defeated No. 16 Syracuse 75-70 Friday at Madison Square Garden to win the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. "I'm just happy we won the tournament, man," Green said. "We just came out here and. shocked the whole nation basically." The game was dominated by a series of runs throughout the second half, as both teams went on extended scoring spurts. The final run, a 10-0 burst, punctuated by a Green three that gave the Gators their largest lead at 72-62 with 1: 52 left in the game, sent the largely pro-Syracuse crowd scrambling for the exits. "The thing about these guys, which is good in the game of basketball, is that sometimes they have a short term memory" UF other side of the net. In a blur, her Southeastern Conference career was over. In a flash, she tallied the final kill in SEC Tournament history. With that Collymore kill, the No. 4 Gators defeated Alabama 3-0 (30-25, 30-25, 30-17) in Tuscaloosa, Ala., to win the final SEC Tournament. With the SEC's decision to add more games to the regular season schedule beginning in 2006, there will no longer be enough time in the year to field the tournament. "This is a new era in the SEC," Coach Mary coach Billy Donovan said. "They have no idea what's happening, they just play hard, they compete, they just keep playing." Sustaining UF through Syracuse's final burst were a pair of Horford jumpers from the top of the key. -He finished with 11 points and was named to the All-Tournament team along with MVP Green. "I'm just happy we won the tournament, man. We just came out here and Shocked the whole nation basically." Taurean Green Coaches vs. Cancer MVP "Horford's two shots were huge," Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said. "They were backbreakers, but that's what determines games -they made the offensive plays that had to be, made." In a parallel to their victory the night before, the Gators were largely able to keep control of the game's pace and spent a majority of the game in the lead. The largest deficit UF faced was three late in the first half after Syracuse's Demetris Nichols buried his fourth three of the half to Wise said. "This is by far our greatest achievement in the SEC Tournament." Collymore, a two-time All-American and a two-time SEC Player of the Year, finished ,-zthe match with 13 kills and five Gtors digs. She was named the Most violyb ii1 Valuable Player of the tourmament. It may have been the savvy play of setter Angie McGinnis and the inside presence of middle blocker Kisya Killingsworth, however, that put the Gators over the top in the final match. give the Orange a 44-41 lead. Nichols 18 first-half points (he finished with 24) were a career high. "I thought we were very fortunate to only be down a point at the half," Donovan said. "We were 310 from the free throw line; everything else was pretty even across the stat sheet." The 3-10 from the line was only the start of an abysmal 13-27 night from the charity stripe for the Gators, as they ended up shooting almost as well from behind the arc (43.5%) as from the foul line (48.1%). UF, however, frustrated McNamara, a preseason Wooden Award candidate, to 5-19 shooting, including 3-11 from three. Donovan gave much of the credit to the Gators' frontcourt. "We really felt like our bigs had to get out there and show and make sure he didn't come off [screens] to shoot," Donovan said. "We really tried to force to him to throw the ball back to [Terrence] Roberts, [Matt] Gorman or [Darryl] Watkins. "I thought the reason we were able to do a good job on him defensively was because our bigs did a great job showing on screens, on underneath out-of-bounds plays, their half-court offense and pickand-rolls." McGinnis finished the match with 38 assists and eight digs, but her four kills and four blocks are what caught Alabama off-gua,d. "Angie has the ability to make wild plays," Wise said.
