We Inform. You Decide.
City Commission approves towing rate hike
By JESSICA RIFFEL
Alligator Writer
jriffel@alligator.org
The Gainesville City Commission ap-
proved an $8 hike in towing rates Monday
The 4-3 vote in favor of the increase brings
the fee to $84, effective Jan. 1.
Commissioner Chuck Chestnut expressed
hesitation about the increase at the Nov.14 com-
mission meeting but voted in favor Monday.
"I think it was justified in terms of cost,"
Chestnut said. "In terms of diesel fuel... and
the economics of insurance."
He also said the commission was able to set
a 24-hour period before the towing company
can charge for storage costs.
A towing-rate increase was proposed last
year, but the commission did not approve it
because members did not believe they were
provided with enough information.
The commission rejected a motion to set
an annual increase or decrease in towing fees.
The vote was 2-5, with Commissioners Ed
Braddy and Jack Donovan in favor.
Chestnut said he was against the annual
adjustment because the commission would
"The law says we can't
lose its control of the local towing industry.
do anything against the
towing industry," he said.
"We can just set fees, and
we use fees as a way to di-
rect behavior. It's our only
leverage."
Ultimate Towing re-
Hanrahan quested the rate hike at the
end of September, accord-
ing to company attorney Katherine Smaha.
Ultimate Towing wanted $90, but the issue
was deferred to the Public Safety Committee
at the Nov. 14 commission meeting.
Smaha said Ultimate is "quite happy with
the commission's decision."
In other news, the commission opted not to
rule out increasing alcohol regulations in 2006.
Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan does not want to
eliminate the possibility of regulating drink
specials, but the commission voted to defer
the issue to the Public Safety Committee.

Sex speaker dazzles
Writer, speaker and sex educator Jay Friedman dangles a female condom during a speech in the
Reitz Union Auditorium on Monday night.
Biology sexual
tips discussed
By OLIVIA ORMOS
Alligator Contributing Writer
Shopping for a condom should
be like shopping for a car: You need
to find the make, model and features
that feel right to you.
These are the words of sex educa-
tor Jay Friedman, who spoke to about
150 people Monday night in the Reitz
Union Auditorium.
For the past 14 years, Friedman
has toured the country speaking pri-
marily to college students about sex
and promoting healthy relationships.
During a lecture at MIT, Friedman
said he had to explain sex to the male-
dominated student body in terms of
graphs and mathematics. He came up
with the analogy that a man's experi-
ence is like a microwave oven and a
woman's is more like a crockpot.
"Women can have multiple or-
gasms, so Freud was all wrong with
penis envy," he said. "Men reach
their sexual peak at ages 18 or 19 and
women at age 30 or 40."
For some women it takes more
time to feel comfortable with their
bodies, along with hopes and desires
with a partner, he said.
It is normal for both men and
women to masturbate, Friedman said,
and normal if they don't.
"Masturbation is a perfect way to
practice using condoms. It is dull lov-
ers, not dull condoms, that make for
dull sex," he said.
The secret to making condoms feel
better, he said, is to simply flip the
condom over and put water-based
lubricant in the tip of the condom.
Friedman told about the time in
high school when he was forced to
watch a movie that flashed pictures of
genitals covered with diseases.
"My belief is that sex is good. It's
what we learn about sex that is not so
good," he said. "The videos are a scare
tactic to never make us want to do it
the rest of our lives but instead leave
us ignorant and confused."

Panel to discuss feasibility of Asian American director
By DIANA MAZZELLA
Alligator Writer
dmazzella@ailIigator.org
A panel discussion to be held tonight aims
to educate UF students and faculty about why
the university needs a director of Asian Pacific
American Affairs.
Asian American Student Union President
Sandy Chiu said a director would assist Asian
American students.by informing them about

scholarships, putting together a mentor pro-
gram like the ones other minority groups on
campus have, and giving students a voice in
the Office of Admissions and the university.
The discussion starts at 7 p.m. in the Reitz
Union Rion Ballroom.
UF does not recruit for Asian American
students in the way it does for Hispanic and
Latino or black students, and a director could
help to change this, Chiu said.
She added that the forum is to inform those
in attendance of what is happening with the
director and "how all students can benefit"
from having one.
When people attend the fo-
Student rum, they "will show administra-
Life tion, faculty and other students
the support or curiosity regard-
ing this issue," Chiu said.
This will not be the first time this year stu-
dents have brought this issue to the adminis-
tration's attention.

Scooters don't faze UPD
* OFFICERS PREFER STUDENTS
TO WEAR HELMETS ON THE ROAD.
By KARI M. TARR
Alligator Contributing Writer
Scooters are treated as motorcycles by
law when traveling at 30 mph or more,
but local police usually disregard this fact
because it would require an additional
motor vehicle license, insurance and eye
protection.
"Could we enforce them? Absolutely.
Do we? Not really," said Gainesville Police
Department Sgt. Anthony Ferrara.
Ferrara compared scooter law enforce-
ment to jaywalking on a football gameday.
"There is a leniency given to students
who aren't making waves," he said.
Amateur riders without proper protec-
tion, including a helmet, are a concern for
officials, even though all scooter riders are
not required to wear helmets.
"Any time you are going faster than
walking pace on something not biologically
part of you, you should have a helmet on,"
Ferrara said.
Under Florida law, motorcyclists over
the age of 21 with proper license and
$10,000 worth of personal injury insurance
are exempt from helmet laws.
A state law requiring all motorcyclists
to wear a helmet was revoked in 2000, and
fatalities have dramatically increased since
then. According to the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration, fatalities in
Florida were 71 percent greater in the two
years following the repeal than the two
years before it.
"Anytime you are going faster
than walking pace on something
not biologically part of you, you
should have a helmet on."
Sgt. Anthony Ferrara
Gainesville Police Department
"Students don't like to wear helmets
because it doesn't look cool," said UPD of-
ficer David Miles. "It's a really dangerous
trend."
University students hoping to return
to Gainesvilleafter the holiday break with
new scooters should not overlook the hel-
mets at the dealership.
"As a motorcycle rider, I don't see any
significant difference between the two
when you're in the city," said UF graduate
student Paul Wiseman.
PUBLIC SAFETY
Police: Buckle up or pay
By CHRISTOPHER HIATT
Alligator Contributing Writer
Driving without a seatbelt in
Gainesville could cost you more than $75
as local officials enforce a Click it or Ticket
campaign this month.
University Police is cracking down
on drivers and passengers not wear-
ing seatbelts as part of a countywide
campaign.
Driving without a seatbelt is against
Florida state law, but it is not a primary of-
fense, meaning police cannot pull over an
adult for not wearing a seatbelt. As a sec-
ondary violation, however, not buckling
up will tack an extra $77.50 to a ticket for
a primary offense like speeding, said UPD
officer John Savona.
Savona said students should be careful.
"The primary stop is not the seatbelt,
but if you run a stop sign or something,
then they can get you," he said.
One exception to the secondary offense
rule is if an individual under the age of 18
is not wearing a seatbelt. Even if the person
is in the back seat, the violation becomes a
primary offense, giving an officer the right
to pull the vehicle over and issue a citation
to the driver.
The fine for a non-moving offense,
such as not wearing a seatbelt, has gone
up from $74.50 to $77.50 in the past year,
Savona said. The fine for a moving offense,
such as running a stop sign, rose from
$118.50 to $121.50.
A citation of this kind will not result in
points on a driver's license, but Savona
said to expect more fine increases.
"Everything just keeps going up," he
said.
Motor vehicle accidents are the lead-
ing cause of death and disability among
Americans ages 2 to 33, according to a
report of the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration.

Man without a face
Director livens up classes
By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org
Microeconomics professor Mark
Rush carefully paced the floor, try-
ing not to step on a crack.
When asked why, his friend
butted in: "He breaks my back."
This is a familiar scene for
Rush and his accomplice, Anthony
Bouton, better known to many as
the Director.
You've probably heard the two
insult each other, but chances are
you've never seen them face-to-face.
Bouton is in charge of large
Warrington College of Business lec-
tures behind Bryan Hall Room 130.
He takes pride in concealing his
identity behind the camera, a posi-
tion he's held since 1990.
He puts the entry-level business
courses, Rush's microeconomics
and David Denslow's macroeco-
nomics, on the electronic platform
for thousands of students to view.
While students remain in the
dark about who is behind the lens,
Bouton said he enjoys taunting the
professors he never understood.
"I've got to keep it that way," he
said. "1 think it makes it more fun
for students. Everyone has a dif-
ferent picture of what the Director
looks like."
Rush said students can only
concentrate for about 30 minutes at
a time, and Bouton helps to break up
the economic monotony.
So the two take jabs at each other,
even when the camera isn't rolling,
on things such as Rush's oft-worn
plaid shirts, which Bouton said rep-
resent lines on a globe.
"Hopefully, most people like it,"
Bouton said. "They can always fast-
forward through the stuff. You want
to walk that fine line."
Denslow said there are few times
when the same level of thought
is present during an hour-long
event, noting the drinking scene in
Shakespeare's play "Macbeth."
Bouton said Denslow's mom and
Shakespeare have a lot in common.
"They both produce great trag-
edies," he said.
Bouton joked that his favorite
part about his job is going home
") after work with Rush, Denslow and
marketing professor Richard Lutz.
Rush responded Jby noting he
was offended that he and Lutz were
mentioned in the same breath.
"I like the fact that Gainesville
has a sewer system too, but that
doesn't mean I like to associate with
it," he said.
Bouton said he used to direct
graduate-level engineering courses,
where it was "one equation after the
other" with little student contact.
"Director equals p times o times
s," Rush said.
Denslow said his class has a
90-percent approval rating, in part
because of Bouton's contribution.
But he said the jokes are typically
recycled every semester.
Jenny Harnish, Alligator
The Director draws a mustache on Microeconomics professor Mark Rush. The two trade playful insults
and practical jokes during lecture recordings.
"That's an incentive to pass,"
Denslow said.
Donald Jones, a tourism manage-
ment senior, said Bouton usually
wins the joke war.
"I think the Director gets the best
of them sometimes," he said.
"Enjoy your last night in
Gainesville," Rush rebutted.
Bouton said Rush generally
shoots back quicker than Denslow.
"You have.to make your joke air-
tight (with Rush)," he said.
The trio frequents local resta-
raunts such as Leonardo's and
Burrito Brothers for lunch.
Denslow said they played golf, but
it was a disaster, so they tried tennis.
"His (Bouton's) main goal is to
see how far over the backstop he can
hit it," he said. "I play at the so-called
senior league. But it starts young. You
only have to be 60 to be in it."
Just then, sirens rang from a
nearby emergency vehicle.
"The bad joke police are here,"
Rush said.
City 'Intern' competition enters second year at SFCC
* THE WINNER OF THE CONTEST WILL INTERN
FOR GAINESVILLE MAYOR PEGEEN HANRAHAN.
By ALEXIS LLOYD
Alligator Writer
Although Gainesville Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan is no
Donald Trump, she will decide the fate of who receives a paid
internship and a scholarship in the SFCC competition The
Intern 2, a spin-off of the TV show "The Apprentice."
The theme of this year's competition is "Building kids' fu-
tures, one task at a time," and it begins January 2006.
Eight contestants will compete in seven tasks, with a
children's theme focused on benefiting different aspects of
Gainesville's children community.
"It is really hush-hush on the tasks so no one can get the up-
per leg on the other competition," said SFCC student Krystal
Wilson, project coordinator. "They are a secret, but what I
can say is that the Children's Home Society, March of Dimes,
United Way and various charities and organizations are in-
volved."
Last year, only nine students applied for the eight open
spots, but the college is hoping to have more students partici-
pate this year.
"The ideal type of person for 'The Intern' is someone who
has ideas, who can think outside the box," said Wilson, who
placed second to Daniel Jones in last year's The Intern.
"You think everything is going perfect, but it is that one idea
that puts you over the top," she said. "The person needs to be a
leader, but able to follow others."
The deadline to enter is Dec. 6. The Intern hopefuls must
submit an application as to why they would like to participate
in the competition, one recommendation letter and a 250-word
autobiography. Each student must be registered for the Spring
2006 semester and hold at least a 2.0 GPA.
"A new addition to the competition will be online voting,"
said Alan Rezaei, SFCC's student body president. "This is to
get the community more in-
Santa Fe volved with the project."
Community College Rezaei is working with
Student Government to help
raise campus awareness about the event.
Local community members will be able to go to
sfccintemproject.com and vote for the contestant they believe
should move on to the next week's task.
However, voting will not have any direct effect on the
mayor's decision.
Rezaei said the mayor used the phrase "Stay in school"
during last year's competition instead of Trump's signature
"You're fired!"
The student chosen as The Intern will receive a 12-credit-
hour, in-state scholarship and a paid internship in the mayor's
office in Fall 2006.

Holiday cards go from campus to children in hospitals
By ADRIANNA C. RODRIGUEZ
Alligator Contributing Writer
With a little construction paper, a few stick-
ers and some cutout snowflakes, UF students
can send season's greetings to young cancer
patients spending their holidays in hospitals.
For its fifth annual Hearts for the Holidays
campaign, Gainesville's chapter of the stu-
dent-run Friends for Life of America organiza-
tion is working to have 7,000 cards made and
sent to children in hospitals nationwide.
The club will have tables set up with art
supplies from 9:35 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. weekdays
through Dec. 5 on the Reitz Union Colonnade.
Anyone can stop by and make holiday cards.
A card-making table will also be on Turlington
Plaza during the same times every weekday
except Wednesday. A floating table will be at
the Broward Dining Hall and the Southwest
Recreation Center from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Wednesday, as well as in the Warrington
College of Business courtyard Monday.
"It's a really good opportunity for UF stu-
dents to do something for the community,"
said Mary McNichol, a psychology junior.
"You can help kids feel better about being in
the hospital."
She participated in the campaign last year
and said she hopes her cards "come-out pret-
ty" for the children who receive them.
The club's hospital correspondents coor-
dinate with each hospital to make sure all
the children in that hospital receive a card,
"It's a really good opportunity
for UF students to do something
for the community. You can help
kids feel better about being in.the
hospital."
Mary McNichol
UFjunior
said Megan Crosmer, 21, a biochemistry and
molecular biology junior and co-chair of the
campaign.
The club's 2002 event at UF collected 11,388
cards, which were sent to 45 hospitals across
the nation.
"The holidays are a really hard time for
kids to be in the hospital," Crosmer said.
"This is a way to add a little happiness to the
holidays."
People can stop by as often as they want, to
make as many holiday cards as possible. No
artistic talent is required.
"Everybody gets hooked," Crosmer said.
"It's a chance to be creative and at the same
time reach out to children."
Vikram Purohit, 21, a molecular biology
senior, has made holiday cards for the cam-
paign every holiday season since he's been at
the university.
"Every child in the hospital should have
as normal a life as possible, and this is just an-
other way to do that," Purohit said.

Committee will discuss alcohol
CITY, from page 1
The committee will need to submit a
recommendation for the commission's
Dec. 12 meeting in order for the city to
vote to regulate drink specials and the
tracking of kegs in 2006.
UF Student Body President Joe
Goldberg told the commission that he's
against keg registration.
"Somebody will purchase a keg and
take it to a party, and somebody will
come to that party and steal it," he said.
He said even though the student no
longer has control of who drinks from
the keg, the student would still be re-
sponsible because it is registered under
his or her name.
Hanrahan countered that some re-
sponsibility is necessary.
"We want people tobe worried about
someone stealing their kegs or who's
drinking out of their kegs," she said.
Robert Zeller, owner of Gator City,
Grog House and Copper Monkey, said
the laws might hurt small businesses.
Zeller and other alcohol distributors
told the commission that more discus-
sions need to be held and that local
businesses should be included.
Mark Barnett,
Gainesville City owner of Gator
Commission Beverage, lo-
cated at 1126 W
University Ave., said Gainesville citi-
zens must have more input on issues
that could greatly affect them.
"I don't think there's any awareness
of this issue at all in the general public,"
he said. "This small, hidden piece of
legislature could greatly affect their ex-
posure to civil and criminal damage."

Friedman: 'Blue balls' a myth
SEX, from page 1
Friedman said the reasons why even
nice guys find themselves putting pres-
sure on their partners to have sex is be-
cause of locker-room talk, homophobia
and the myth of "blue balls."
"If the 'blue-ball' myth were true,
you would hear explosions all over
campus," Friedman said. "No one
should feel compelled to finish some-
one off; this is where you need to
communicate and negotiate the sexual
behavior you are ready for."
Friedman said that during his travel
across the United States, he found more
open-minded students onthe East coast,
and more dose-minded students as he
moved inland toward states like North
and South Dakota and Montana.
Many of his visits have resulted in
censorship, and he said people voice
complaints such as "he is stimulating
students into a state of erotic frenzy."
UF junior Lauren Case said she en-
joyed Friedman because "it's rare you
find someone willing to ... speak about
this very taboo subject."
Friedman concluded with a "gift" to
the audience of teaching them how to in-
crease their sexual strength and stamina
with kegel exercises, squeezes of the
muscles of the pelvic floor. The exercise
helps enhance one's sex life, he said.
"You don't want to do too many too
fast, but you want to do sets of these
things every day," Friedman said.
Dean of Students Office appointed Asian graduate assistant instead of director
DIRECTOR, from page 1
tion was created for a director of multicultural and diversity
affairs.
A graduate assistant position was also created for Asian
Pacific American Affairs, but not the director position that
some students had hoped for.
Kappa Phi Lambda and Delta Phi Omega sororities are
hosting tonight's event with support from Asian American
Heritage Kaleidoscope Month.
Coordinator for the event Thao Tran said it would not be a
protest or rally, but an educational forum.
Student She said the event will benefit the whole
Lifo student body.
Chiu said the forum will allow students to
write down questions that a moderator will pose. -
Panelists will include South Asian American Student Union
President Preeti Sharma, past AASU President Linh Nguyen,
professors Amy Ongiri and Malini Schueller and Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual and Transgender Affairs Director Tamara Cohen, said
Kaleidoscope Month Event Coordinator Leo Esclamado.
The Dean of Students Office has appointed directors for
black students, Hispanic students and students with disabili-
ties as well.
The two professors were involved in a panel last year that
focused on ethnic studies, Esclamado said.
He emphasized that the panel's purpose is not to blame
the Dean of Students Office because it does not have a director
for Asian Ajmerican Students.

Editorial
Clumsy tactics
Fight against military
recruitment farfetched
With nothing of controversial value happening on cam-
pus recently, the Editorial Board has decided to rely
on a natural foe for editorial material.
We'd like you to travel back to last Monday, when the
National Guard came to the Plaza of the Americas to recruit
students by letting them touch and aim powerful weapons.
By adding video games and free food to the deal, the men in
uniform had no problem garnering positive attention. College
boys love war and games, except perhaps when it's real.
But the appearance of guns on campus, whether the weap-
ons were in working condition or not, made us question the
military's recruitment tactics. The necessity of using guns to at-
tract possible soldiers is an interesting trend in military recruit-
ment. It emphasizes the excitement of violence, rather than the
honor of fighting for your country.
But while we're worried about how the military recruits,
others are focused on the message behind the organization.
The Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights is fight-
ing against the Solomon Amendment, which would allow the
federal government to withdraw funding if universities don't
permit military recruiters on campus. Some schools would like
to bar the military because its "don't ask, don't tell" policy on
gays conflicts with efforts to battle discrimination.
The forum argues that the law, enacted after Sept. 11, 2001,
violates the First Amendment. The Supreme Court will hear the
case Dec. 6.
So what's the Editorial Board's conclusion? Our nation is
obsessed with homosexuality. And in this case, the argument
doesn't apply to the situation.
Our nation is at war, and our military is pathetically smaller
than our ambitions. We're knee-deep in Iraq without the man-
power to construct a democracy out of anarchy. Students are of
the right age, mind and situation for recruitment. The military,
and our country's international efforts, cannot survive without
scouring universities.
On the other hand, our military discriminates against the
openly gay. And that's just bigoted.
But we don't believe universities are seen as discriminatory
because they allow the military on campus. Joining the Army is
a good option for many, and impeding students from learning
about this opportunity isn't a very educated decision.
There's a big difference between an group that recruits stu-
dents for the purpose of working against gays, and an organiza-
tion that has a discriminatory policy buried within its ranks.
Furthermore, tying obligations to federal funding is nothing
new. Universities must follow a million specifications to get
government grants; this requirement is just another one in the
pile. The forum is following up on it because winning the case
will help put pressure on the military to change its policy.
We would like to see the policy changed, partly because we
don't think it has anything to do with fighting. Soldiers of every
race, sex and creed are needed, and discrimination goes against
the military's goals.
However, this case is stretched thin. Whatever the outcome,
the "don't ask, don't tell" policy will not change. Only time and
a shifting public opinion can do that. In this political climate, the
military unfortunately will lose more recruits than it gains if it
changes the policy now.
The military shouldn't speak against gays or actively encour-
age discrimination on campus. Beyond that, students can make
their own decisions about the worthiness of the organization.
We can't win the battle against discrimination from such an
awkward angle.
Instead, we should focus on a more direct and relevant is-
sue: Is promoting violence an acceptable recruitment tactic on
college campuses?

Guest column
Scientific theories more than guesses
t is clear that there are significant public misconceptions
about the debate on "intelligent design." Part of this am-
biguity stems from a general misunderstanding of science
- the roots of which are fodder for an entire series of opinion
columns and part of it is caused by the parties involved in
the controversy.
There are two facets to this debate: One is political, and
the other is academic. Neither concerns the validity or cor-
rectness of "intelligent design"; that is, of whether it is a
plausible idea or not. The political controversy centers on
the legality of teaching an inherently religious philosophy in
public schools and whether that is constitutional. I will not
dwell on the political situation, as I am sure that everyone
has heard plenty from the media.
The other part of the debate, the academic angle, deals
with whether "intelligent design" is actually a science.
As Joseph Meert pointed out last Monday, the answer is
a resounding "no." In his Wednesday column, Thomas
Harrington correctly pointed out that a scientific theory is
testable and falsifiable. What he failed to state, however, is
that "intelligent design" does not meet these criteria. How
do you falsify the hypothesis of the interaction of a higher
being? By disproving the existence of God? That is not sci-
ence. There is a reason that advocates focus on trying to
discredit the neo-Darwinian natural selection theory rather
than on testing. "Intelligent design" is a philosophy, not a
science. Rather than explain the how, "intelligent design')
actually deals with the why. I agree with Meert that it has
an appropriate classroom setting one that is a theology or
philosophy class, not a science class.
The public should also realize what the "intelligent
design" idea actually states. The concept does not refute
evolution. A curious person needs only to refer to the Web
site of the Discovery Institute, the primary institutional pro-
ponent for "intelligent design," to realize this. Evolution is,
as defined by evolutionary biologist Douglas J. Futuyma,
"...change in the properties of populations of organisms that
Jonathan transcend the lifetime of a single indi-
Hoffman vidual." Advocates attempt to explain
Speaking Out the cause for this change and attach
purpose to it, not deny its existence.
They do not even fully reject natu-
ral selection, the driving mechanism behind neo-Darwinian
evolution. They concede that genetic mutations do occur,
causing change, but they contend that not all of these muta-
tions are random.
As a scientist, I am disturbed by the general misconcep-
tion that a scientific theory holds little credence. Last week,
one editorial author stated that "evolution is as much of a
theory as 'intelligent design,'" implying that evolution is
still only a "lowly" theory. In science, it is an accolade for an
idea to attain the level of theory, not a dishonor. A scientific
theory is based on observations that have been subjected to
and withstood numerous tests, including attempts at falsifi-
cation. Statements such as "it's just a theory" equate a theory
with a hypothesis. Relativity, the idea behind the splitting of
atoms and nuclear energy, is "just" a theory. No one, how-
ever, debates its validity because it has been upheld through
countless trials. It also does not challenge our concepts of
creation, but I digress. -
Lastly, I can only shake my head at Ashley Wills' claim
that evolution is a "philosophy issue." In the science commu-
nity, the occurrence of evolution is supported beyond debate.
We have witnessed it happen before our very eyes with the
annual formation of new viral strains. Further evidence has
come from the fossil record, in which we have discovered im-
pressive evolutionary sequences, for example, in horses and
whales. In her column, Wills refuted evolutionary biology's
status as a science. It is my hope that most people can realize
that evolutionary biology and its related fields are science.
Furthermore, I hope that people will understand fully the
position they advocate.

Geological Sciences.

Letters to the Editor
Flag supporters comical, uninformed
After a nice relaxing break, it was good
to come back to campus to find the comedy
that was the Alligator Letters to the Editor
on Monday. Nothing says hilarity like two
individuals who do not attend UF and have
well-developed opinions on things they
know nothing about.
Since space is limited, I will address
the letter from Wes Hamilton, a proud
resident of Clyde, Texas, who apparently
has no connection with UF whatsoever.
Hamilton goes to great pains to inform
us, the impressionable student body, that
his seventh cousin, Robert E. Lee, did not
in fact take up arms against his country
but simply switched his allegiance when
another group of seemingly non-traitorous
individuals decided to establish a new na-
tion. No rebellion there at all!-
What puzzles me the most, however,
is Hamilton's prestigious family history.
He claims that he had grandfathers in six
states and that all of them were officers and
soldiers in the Confederate Army.
I was under the impression that most
people only had two grandfathers. I have
heard of inbreeding in the South, but I
thought this was just conjecture and rumor.
Hamilton proves that this is indeed a his-
torical certainty.
If, as Hamilton claims, the Confederates
were fighting for the value system em-
bodied by Thomas Jefferson, why does
the United States still exist under the
Constitution? How exactly did the election
of Abraham Lincoln threaten America's
"principles, morals and rights" as codified
by the Founding Fathers?
He really doesn't answer this question
very well and instead spews the same vitri-
olic rhetoric that so many pro-Dixie people
have trotted out over the years.
The only thing that Hami
was lacking was a Zell Miller
challenging Andrew Bare to a
field of honor.

Bare judges past by today's standards
Andrew Bare's Wednesday column
"Confederate flag is a symbol of treason"
makes the mistake of judging the people
of the 1860s by current standards. For
example, the column stated, "Lee had his
chance to serve his country or serve his
state. He chose his state." But to Lee, his
state was his country.
The federal government was much
smaller and weaker in 1860 than it is today.
Back then, Americans did not have Social
Security numbers, they did not pay federal
income taxes, and most did not carry U.S.
passports. They moved from state to state
much less than people do today, and they
had fewer relatives and friends in other
states.
Therefore, it is not surprising that they
felt more like citizens of their states than
citizens of the United States. To many of
them, the idea that their states could not
leave the United States would be compa-
rable to the modern idea that a nation can-
not leave the United Nations.
Many Southerners opposed secession
and slavery and ending slavery was not
initially a goal of the Union but chose
to resist or were even forced to resist an
armed invasion of the South. Does that
make those people evil?
If the Confederate flag is a symbol of
treason, then the U.S. flag is also a symbol
of treason. The stars and stripes is the flag
of people who rebelled against the British
government.
Also, many people who fly the flag
today are not trying to honor Confederate
heritage or make a political or social state-
ment. To many, the flag is just a symbol of
the South or Southern pride. And many
people just fly the flag as a kind of silly or
fun thing. I think this is especially true of
the Louisiana State University sports fans,
who wave a purple and gold LSU's
school colors version of the flag.

Confederacy honored for many reasons
I am by no means an ardent supporter
or admirer of the Confederacy, but the
* argument. presented by Andrew Bare is
patently ridiculous.. By the same reasoning
process, Old Glory is also a symbol of trea-
son. Should we be ashamed? Should we
avoid flying it when it might offend the
United Kingdom? Don't be ridiculous.
The South had reasons other than slav-
ery for revolting. This does not excuse it
but represents extenuating circumstances.
Afterward, the people who had to prose-
cute the war felt that the reasons for the re-
volt were not unreasonable as evinced by
the easy terms granted postwar. If many of
the ones who fought and died as a result
of the South's decision did not blame it
overmuch, I don't think it makes sense for
us to do that now.
The Confederacy represents many
things to many people. If we are to live in
a free society, we need to learn to tolerate
and grasp that a reverence for its better in-
tentions does not necessitate ignorance of
its flaws. Further, if we are to learn from its
mistakes, we cannot do so by eradicating it
from memory. Those offended by the flag
would be better off using it to discuss the
errors it represents than to make it disap-
pear from human experience.

More to Southern story than most know
I used to believe the things that Andrew
Bare professed in his column. I was a Yankee,
born and raised in the North Country where
I live.
I earned a master's in American history
from a university in Kansas, a state that flaunts
its "abolitionist" history. It wasn't until after I
had the degree and spent four years working
at the Kansas State Historical Society Library/
Archives that I realized there was much more
to the story than is publicly taught in schools
today.
Secession was not unconstitutional before
the Civil War, only after was it declared so.
The original colonies had done the same thing
from England, but we glorify them as heroes.
The war was primarily over tyranny, second-
arily over slavery.
Gen. Ulysses S. Grant owned slaves; Gen.
Robert E. Lee did not. Lincoln did not free all
slaves, only slaves in southern states. There
were plenty of slaves in border states and
northern slaves that were not freed.
The Confederacy at the end of the war
allowed black units, and during the war, al-
lowed individual black soldiers and had entire
Native American regiments. I could go on, but
I won't.
I will end with this quote from a Union
hero: "If I thought this war was about slavery,
I would resign my commission and take my
sword to the other side."
Guess who said that? Ulysses S. Grant.

UF MEN'S BASKETBALL
Gators breeze by Hornets
By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer
dtreat@alligator.org
It didn't seem much like a night for record
breaking Monday at the O'Connell Center.
Coming off three straight wins against
opponents from major conferences, UF met
up with Alabama State, a team from the
Southwest Athletic Conference coming into
the game with a first-year coach and a 1-4
record.
But with an 87-60 win over the Hornets,
the No. 11 Gators jumped out to a 6-0 season-
opening record for the first time since Coach
Billy Donovan came to Gainesville in 1996 and
the first time since the 1984-85 season, Vernon
Maxwell's first in orange and blue.
That team, however, failed to make the
NCAA Tournament, a fact Donovan noted
after the game as he downplayed the accom-
plishment.
"It doesn't really mean a lot to me,"
Donovan said. "Because we've had some very,
very good teams here over the last 10 years
that haven't gotten off to a start like we've got.
I'm not really that wrapped up in it."
Donovan also felt that the achievement
showed the relative lack of basketball heritage
at UF.
"I think what it really shows people is the
lack of tradition that's been here in basketball
over an extended period of time," Donovan
said.
With the game never really in doubt, the
Gators jumped out to a 10-0 lead and never
looked back. Spurred on by a 4-for-4 start
from the field by Corey Brewer, who finished
8 for 9 with 17 points, seven rebounds and five
assists, UF took a 45-32 lead into the locker
room.
Al Horford posted his second double-
double of the season, finishing with 12 points
and 11 rebounds, but admitted it wasn't an
easy game.
"We went through some slumps," Horford
said. "We've got to work on that. We've got
to be more consistent and play the whole 40
minutes."
And sophomore Taurean Green continued
his steady shooting from the foul line, shoot-
ing 10 for 10 from the charity stripe while
running his streak of consecutive free throws
made up to 24.
"We went through some slumps.
We've got to work on that. We've got
to be more consistent and play the
whole 40 minutes."
Al Horford
UF basketball player
Green finished with 18 points.
"That. is very helpful when you have a
point guard that's a good free-throw shooter
that can get fouled," Donovan said. "And he's
a good enough creator and penetrator that he
can get in the lane and create and make some
things happen."
The highlight, or perhaps lowlight, of the
game, came when Donovan was on the receiv-
ing end of an accidental smack above the right
eye from one of the officials as he was signal-
ing for a media timeout.
"I was really hoping no one saw that,"
Donovan said.
"I just told the ref thank God he didn't have
any rings on, so I was at the wrong place in
the wrong time ... he obviously didn't do it
on purpose.
"But the last thing I wanted to know, and
[the television announcers] said they showed
it about 10 times and kept replaying it, so I'm
sure it looks really good on tape."
Andy Apicella, Alligator Staff
UF junior forward Chris Richard throws down a slam against Alabama State Mon-
day night in the O'Connell Center. The Gators won 87-60, improving to 6-0,
Big wins came from sub-par rivals, easy home schedule for Gators
W hy is everyone getting so
upset about what Florida
State running back
Lorenzo Booker said?
As it turns out, he was right.
FSU and UF really do not belong
on the same field. Anyone watch-
ing the game on Saturday could've
seen that.
Booker and the rest of FSU's in-
ept offense must've forgotten that
the Florida high-school playoffs
were in Miami this year, not in the
Swamp, because that's what they
showed up for.
So yes, UF's blowout was a big
win, but how big? The Seminoles
Ii

lic and free for SFCC students.
and their leader are in what is
beyond a downward spiral. The
Seminoles have lost three in a row.
They are drowning without a life-
boat because three more losses are
on tap.
Want to see ugly? Tune into
this weekend's travesty of an ACC
Championship and watch Virginia
Tech win by however many points
Frank Beamer wants to. After that,
it doesn't matter Wvho FSU plays
in its bowl because any bowl-eli-
gible team could defeat the 'Noles
where their program is now. Then,
they open with Miami next year.
Half a dozen losses in a row, me-
1. Duke (61) 5-0
2. Texas (6) 5-0
3. Connecticut (4) 4-0
4. Villanova (1) 2-0
10. Kentucky 4-1
11. UF 5-0
lan Fisher
Extra lannings
ifisher@alligator.org
thinks.
This is
why UF's
win on
Saturday
wasn't as big
as everyone
is making
it out to
be. Yes, the
Gators blew
out their biggest rival. However,
their biggest rival hasn't been
this bad in a long, long time.
Couple that with beating a terrible
Tennessee team, and you've got
two of the big three that UF won
this year. Then, there was Georgia
sans quarterback.
Sure, the Gators never trailed
to any of those three this year,
but there's no reason they should
have.
Yes, the Gators went undefeated
at home, but they also didn't play
anybody at home. Has the Swamp
been taken back yet? Inconclusive.
The Gators are going to prob-
ably their worst bowl in at least 10
years, yet because of one victory
against a terrible FSU team, people
are labeling this season a definite
success.
Did I miss something? UF did
lose three games one to a less-
talented team and one in which the
Gators had a five-turnover advan-
tage over their opponent.
So how then is this season a suc-
cess, as many fans feel after defeat-
ing down-and-almost-out FSU?
It's not. Ask any of the fans (or
my colleague Louis) who predict-
ed the Gators to go to the national
championship or a BCS bowl. Ask
UF's seniors for that matter.
For them, it is just another
season in which UF didn't have a
shot at a Southeastern Conference
Championship.
Success? I think not. __

the independent florida Not officially associated with the University of Florida Published by Campus Com unications, inc. of Gainesvlle, Floida VOLUME 99 ISSUE 66 We Inform. You Decide. R-Icyce TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2005 C.1ly Commission approves towing rate hike By JESSICA RIFFEL Alligato r Write r jriffeI@amligator.org The Gainesville City Commission approved an $8 hike in towing rates Monday. The 4-3 vote in favor of the increase brings the fee to $84, effective Jan. 1. Commissioner Chuck Chestnut expressed hesitation about the increase at the Nov.14 commission meeting but voted in favor Monday "I think it was justified in terms of cost," Chestnut said. "In terms of diesel fuel. and the economics of insurance." He also said the commission was able to set a 24-hour period before the towing .company can charge for storage costs. A towing-rate increase was proposed last year but the commission did not approve it because members did not believe they were provided with enough information. The commission rejected a motion to set an annual increase or decrease in towing fees. The vote was 2-5, with Commissioners Ed Braddy and Jack Donovan in favor. Chestnut said he was against the annual adjustment because the commission would lose its control of the local towing industry. 7"The law says we can't do anything against the towing industry," he said. "We can just set fees, and we use fees as a way to direct behavior. It's our only leverage." Ultimate Towing reHanrahan quested the rate hike at the end of September, according to company attorney Katherine Smaha. Ultimate Towing wanted $90, but the issue was deferred to the Public Safety Committee at the Nov. 14 commission meeting. Smaha said Ultimate is "quite happy with the commission's decision." In other news, the commission opted not to rule out increasing alcohol regulations in 2006. Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan does not want to eliminate the possibility of regulating drink specials, but the commission voted to defer the issue to the Public Safety Committee. SEE CITY, PAGE 5 Sex speaker dazzles Writer, speaker and sex educator Jay Friedman dangles a female condom during a speech in the Reitz Union Auditorium on Monday night. Biology sexual tips discussed By OLIVIA ORMOS Alligator Contributing Writer Shopping for a condom should be like shopping for a car: You need to find the make, model and features that feel right to you. These are the words of sex educator Jay Friedman, who spoke to about 150 people Monday night in the Reitz Union Auditorium. For the past 14 years, Friedman has toured the country speaking primarily to college students about sex and promoting healthy relationships. During a lecture at MIT, Friedman said he had to explain sex to the maledominated student body in terms of graphs and mathematics. He came up with the analogy that a man's experience is like a microwave oven and a woman's is more like a crockpot. "Women can have multiple orgasms, so Freud was all wrong with penis envy," he said. "Men reach their sexual peak at ages 18 or 19 and women at age 30 or 40." For some women it takes more time to feel comfortable with their bodies, along with hopes and desires with a partner, he said. It is normal for both men and women to masturbate, Friedman said, and normal if they dont. "Masturbation is a perfect way to practice using condoms. It is dull lovers, not dull condoms, that make for dull sex," he said. The secret to making condoms feel better, he said, is to simply flip the condom over and put water-based lubricant in the tip of the condom. Friedman told about the time in high school when he was forced to watch a movie that flashed pictures of genitals covered with diseases. "My belief is that sex is good. It's what we learn about sex that is not so good," he said. "The videos are a scare tactic to never make us want to do it the rest of our lives but instead leave us ignorant and confused." SEE SEX, PAGE 5 Pa to discus feasibility of Asian American director By DIANA MAZZELLA Alligator Writer dmazzelIa@aIigator.org A panel discussion to be held tonight aims to educate UF students and faculty about why the university needs a director of Asian Pacific American Affairs. Asian American Student Union President Sandy Chiu said a director would assist Asian American students-by informing them about scholarships, putting together a mentor program like the ones other minority groups on campus have, and giving students a voice in the Office of Admissions and the university. The discussion starts at 7 p.m. in the Reitz Union Rion Ballroom. UF does not recruit for Asian American students in the way it does for Hispanic and Latino or black students, and a director could help to change this, Chiu said. She added that the forum is to inform those in attendance of what is happening with the director and "how all students can benefit" from having one. When people attend the foStudent rum, they "will show administraLife tion, faculty and other students the support or curiosity regarding this issue," Chiu said. This will not be the first time this year students have brought this issue to the administration's attention. During the first week of classes in the Fall semester, students from the Asian American Student Union and South 'Asian American Student Union assembled at a speech by Vice President for Student Affairs Patricia TellesIrvin to express their concerns about the lack of a director. That came a few days after the Dean of Students Office's announcement that a posiSEE DIRECTOR, PAGE 5 "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" II With a little construction paper, a few stickers and some cutout snowflakes, UF students can send season's greetings to young cancer patients spending their holidays in hospitals.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 3 E OFFICERS PREFER STUDENTS TO WEAR HELMETS ON THE ROAD. By KARI M. TARR Alligator Contributing Writer Scooters are treated -as motorcycles by law when traveling at 30 mph or more, but local police usually disregard this fact because it would require an additional motor vehicle license, insurance and eye protection. "Could we enforce them? Absolutely. Do we? Not really," said Gainesville Police Department Sgt. Anthony Ferrara. Ferrara compared scooter law enforcement to jaywalking on a football gameday. "There is a leniency given to students who aren't making waves," he said. Amateur riders without proper protection, including a helmet, are a concern for officials, even though all scooter riders are not required to wear helmets. "Any time you are going faster than walking pace on something not biologically part of you, you should have a helmet on," Ferrara said. Under Florida law, motorcyclists over the age of 21 with proper license and $10,000 worth of personal injury insurance are exempt from helmet laws. A state law requiring all motorcyclists to wear a helmet was revoked in 2000, and fatalities have dramatically increased since then. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, fatalities in Florida were 71 percent greater in'the two years following the repeal than the two years before it. "Anytime you are going faster than walking pace on something not biologically part of you, you should have a helmet on." Sgt. Anthony Ferrara Gainesville Police Department "Students don't like to wear helmets because it doesn't look cool," said UPID officer David Miles. "It's a really dangerous trend." University students hoping to return to Gainesville after the holiday break with new scooters should not overlook the helmets at the dealership. "As a motorcycle rider, I don't see any significant difference between the two when you're in the city," said UF graduate student Paul Wiseman. By CHRISTOPHER HIATT Alligator Contributing Writer Driving without a seatbelt in Gainesville could cost you more than $75 as local officials enforce a Click it or Ticket campaign this month. University Police is cracking down on drivers and passengers not wearing seatbeits as part of a countywide campaign. Driving without a seatbelt is against Florida state law, but it is not a primary offense, meaning police cannot pull over an adult for not wearing a seatbelt. As a secondary violation, however, not buckling up will tack an extra $77.50 to a ticket for a primary offense like speeding, said UPD officer John Savona. Savona said students should be careful. "The primary stop is not the seatbelt, but if you run a stop sign or something, then they can get you," he said. One exception to the secondary offense rule is if an individual under the age of 18 is not wearing a seatbelt. Even if the person is in the back seat, the violation becomes a primary offense, giving an officer the right to pull the vehicle over and issue a citation to the driver. The fine for a non-moving offense, such as not wearing a seatbelt, has gone up from $74.50 to $77.50 in the past year, Savona said. The fine for a moving offense, such as running a stop sign, rose from $118.50 to $121.50. A citation of this kind will not result in points on a driver's license, but Savona said to expect more fine increases. "Everything just keeps going up," he said. Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death and disability among Americans ages 2 to 33, according to a report of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. students returning to school.

4, ALLIGATOR E TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2005 Man without a face Director livens up classes By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer dcohen@alligator.org Microeconomics professor Mark Rush carefully paced the floor, trying not to step on a crack. When asked why, his friend butted in: "He breaks my back." This is a familiar scene for Rush and his accomplice, Anthony Bouton, better known to many as the Director. You've probably heard the two insult each other, but chances are you've never seen them face-to-face. Bouton is in charge of large Warrington College of Business lectures behind Bryan Hall Room 130. He takes pride in concealing his identity behind the camera, a position he's held since 1990. He puts the entry-level business courses, Rush's macroeconomics and David Denslow's macroeconomics, on the electronic platform for thousands of students to view. While students remain in the dark about who is behind the lens, Bouton said he enjoys taunting the professors he never understood. "I've got to keep it that way," he said. "I think it makes it more fun for students. Everyone has a different picture of what the Director looks like." Rush said students can only concentrate for about 30 minutes at a time, and Bouton helps to break up the economic monotony. So the two take jabs at each other, even when the camera isn't rolling, on things such as Rush's oft-worn plaid shirts, which Bouton said represent lines on a globe. "Hopefully, most people like it," Bouton said. "They can always fastforward through the stuff. You want to walk that fine line." Denslow said there are few times when the same level of thought is present during an hour-long event, noting the drinking scene in Shakespeare's play "Macbeth." Bouton said Denslow's mom and Shakespeare have a lot in common. "They both produce great tragedies," he said. Bouton joked that his favorite part about his job is going home after work with Rush, Denslow and marketing professor Richard Lutz. Rush responded -by noting he was offended that he and Lutz were mentioned in the same breath. "I like the fact that Gainesville has a sewer system too, but that doesn't mean I like to associate with it," he said. Bouton said he used to direct graduate-level engineering courses, where it was "one equation after the other" with little student contact. "Director equals p times o times s," Rush said. Denslow said his class has a 90-percent approval rating, in part because of Bouton's contribution. But he said the jokes are typically recycled every semester. Jenny Harnish / Alligator The Director draws a mustache on Microeconomics professor Mark Rush. The two trade playful insults and practical jokes during lecture recordings. "That's an incentive to pass," Denslow said. Donald Jones, a tourism management senior, said Bouton usually wins the joke war. "I think the Director gets the best of them sometimes," he said. "Enjoy your last night in Gainesville," Rush rebutted. Bouton said Rush generally shoots back quicker than Denslow. "You have.to make your joke airtight (with Rush)," he said. The trio frequents local restaraunts such as Leonardo's and Burrito Brothers for lunch. Denslow said they played golf,but it was a disaster, so they tried tennis. "His (Bouton's) main goal is to see how far over the backstop he can hit it," he said. "I play at the so-called senior league. Butit starts young. You only have to be 60 to be in it." Just then, sirens rang from a nearby emergency vehicle. "The bad joke police are here," Rush said. Ciyi 'ntern' petitiontn entor r eco d year at SFCC N THE WINNER OF THE CONTEST WILL INTERN FOR GAINESVILLE MAYOR PEGEEN HANRAHAN. By ALEXIS LLOYD Alligator Writer Although Gainesville Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan is no Donald Trump, she will decide the fate of who receives a paid internship and a scholarship in the SFCC competition The Intern 2, a spin-off of the TV show "The Apprentice." The theme of this year's competition is "Building kids' futures, one task at a time," and it begins January 2006. Eight contestants will compete in seven tasks, with a children's theme focused on benefiting different aspects of Gainesville's children community. "It is really hush-hush on the tasks so no one can get the upper leg on the other competition," said SFCC student Krystal Wilson, project coordinator. "They are a secret, but what I can say is that the Children's Home Society, March of Dimes, United Way and various charities and organizations are involved." Last year, only nine students applied for the eight open spots, but the college is hoping to have more students participate this year. "The ideal type of person for 'The Intern' is someone who has ideas, who can think outside the box," said Wilson, who placed second to Daniel Jones in last year's The Intern. "You think everything is going perfect, but it is that one idea that puts you over the top," she said. "The person needs to be a leader, but able to follow others." -The deadline to enter is Dec. 6. The Intern hopefuls must submit an application as to why they would like to participate in the competition, one recommendation letter and a 250-word autobiography. Each student must be registered for the Spring 2006 semester and hold at least a 2.0 GPA. "A new addition to the competition will be online voting," said Alan Rezaei, SFCC's student body president. "This is to get the community more inSanta Fe volved with the project." Community College Rezaei is working with Student Government to help raise campus awareness about the event. Local community members will be able to go to sfccinternproject.com and vote for the contestant they believe should move on to the next week's task. However, voting will not have any direct effect on the mayor's decision. Rezaei said the mayor used the phrase "Stay in school" during last year's competition instead of Trump's signature "You're fired!" The student chosen as The Intern will receive a 12-credithour, in-state scholarship and a paid internship in the mayor's office in Fall 2006. STUDENT LIFE Holiday cards go fron campus to chi dren in hospitals By ADRIANNA C. RODRIGUEZ Alligator Contributing Writer With a little construction paper, a few stickers and some cutout snowflakes, UF students can send season's greetings to young cancer patients spending their holidays in hospitals. For its fifth annual Hearts for the Holidays campaign, Gainesville's chapter of the student-run Friends for Life of America organization is working to have 7,000 cards made and sent to children in hospitals nationwide. The club will have tables set up with art supplies from 9:35 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. weekdays through Dec. 5 on the Reitz Union Colonnade. Anyone can stop by and make holiday cards. A card-making table will also be on Turlington Plaza during the same times every weekday except Wednesday. A floating table will be at the Broward Dining Hall and the Southwest Recreation Center from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday, as well as in the Warrington College of Business courtyard Monday. "It's a really good opportunity for UF students to do something for the community," said Mary McNichol, a psychology junior. "You can help kids feel better about being in the hospital." She participated in the campaign last year and said she hopes her cards "come-out pretty" for the children who receive them. The club's hospital correspondents coordinate with each hospital to make sure all the children in that hospital receive a card, "It's a really good o for UF students to do for the community.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 5 Committee will discuss alcohol CITY, from page 1 The committee will need to submit a recommendation for the commission's Dec. 12 meeting in order for the city to vote to regulate drink specials and the tracking of kegs in 2006. UF Student Body President Joe Goldberg told the commission that he's against keg registration. "Somebody will purchase a keg and take it to a party, and somebody will come to that party and steal it," he said. He said even though the student no longer has control of who drinks from the keg, the student would still be responsible because it is registered under his or her name. Hanrahan countered that some responsibility is necessary. "We want people tobe worried about someone stealing their kegs or who's drinking out of their kegs," she said. Robert Zeller, owner of Gator City, Grog House and Copper Monkey, said the laws might hurt small businesses. Zeller and other alcohol distributors told the commission that more discussions need to be held and that local businesses should be included. Mark Bamett, Gainesville.City owner of Gator CommiSSIOn Beverage, located at 1126 W University Ave., said Gainesville citizens must have more input on issues that could greatly affect them. "I don't think there's any awareness of this issue at all in the general public," he said. "This small, hidden piece of legislature could greatly affect their exposure to civil and criminal damage." Friedman: 'Blue balls' a myth SEX, from page 1 Friedman said the reasons why even nice guys find themselves putting pressure on their partners to have sex is because of locker-room talk, homophobia and the myth of "blue balls." "If the 'blue-ball' myth were true, you would hear explosions all over campus," Friednan said. "No one should feel compelled to finish someone off; this is where you need to communicate and negotiate the sexual behavior you are ready for." Friedman said that during his travel across the United States, he found more open-minded students onthe East coast, and more close-minded students as he moved inland toward states like North and South Dakota and Montana. Many of his visits have resulted in censorship, and he said people voice complaints such as "he is stimulating students into a state of erotic frenzy." UF junior Lauren Case said she enjoyed Friedman because "it's rare you find someone willing to .speak about this very taboo subject." Friedman concluded with a "gift" to the audience of teaching them how to increase their sexual strength and stamina with kegel exercises, squeezes of the muscles of the pelvic floor. The exercise helps enhance one's sex life, he said. "You don't want to do too many too fast, but you want to do sets of these things every day," Friedman said. Dean of Students Office appointed Asian graduate assistant instead of director DIRECTOR, from page 1 tion was created for a director of multicultural and diversity affairs. A graduate assistant position was also created for Asian Pacific American Affairs, but not the director position that some students had hoped for. Kappa Phi Lambda and Delta Phi Omega sororities are hosting tonight's event with support from Asian American Heritage Kaleidoscope Month. Coordinator for the event Thao Tran said it would not be a protest or rally, but an educational forum. Student She said the event will benefit the whole Life student body. Chiu said the forum will allow students to write down questions that a moderator will pose. Panelists will include South Asian American Student Union President Preeti Sharma, past AASU President Linh Nguyen, professors Amy Ongiri and Malini Schueller and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Affairs Director Tamara Cohen, said Kaleidoscope Month Event Coordinator Leo Esclamado. The Dean of Students Office has appointed directors for black students, Hispanic students and students with disabilities as well. The two professors were involved in a panel last year that focused on ethnic studies, Esclamado said. He emphasized that the panel's purpose is not to blame the Dean of Students Office because it does not have a director for Asian American Students.

6, ALLIGATOR M TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2005 Edltoral Clumsy tactics Fight against military recruitment farfetched ith nothing of controversial value happening on campus recently, the Editorial Board has decided to rely on a natural foe for editorial material. We'd like you to travel back to last Monday, when the National Guard came to the Plaza of the Americas to recruit students by letting them touch and aim powerful weapons. By adding video games and free food to the deal, the men in uniform had no problem garnering positive attention. College boys love war and games, except perhaps when it's real. But the appearance of guns on campus, whether the weapons were in working condition or not, made us question the military's recruitment tactics. The necessity of using guns to attract possible soldiers is an interesting trend in military recruitment. It emphasizes the excitement of violence, rather than the honor of fighting for your country. But while we're worried about how the military recruits, others are focused on the message behind the organization. The Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights is fighting against the Solomon Amendment, which would allow the federal government to withdraw funding if universities don't permit military recruiters on campus. Some schools would like to bar the military because its "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays conflicts with efforts to battle discrimination. The forum argues that the law, enacted after Sept. 11, 2001, violates the First Amendment. The Supreme Court will hear the case Dec. 6. So what's the Editorial Board's conclusion? Our nation is obsessed with homosexuality. And in this case, the argument doesn't apply to the situation. Our nation is at war, and our military is pathetically smaller than our ambitions. We're knee-deep in Iraq without the manpower to construct a democracy out of anarchy Students are of the right age, mind and situation for recruitment. The military, and our country's international efforts, cannot survive without scouring universities. On the other hand, our military discriminates against the openly gay. And that's just bigoted. But we don't believe universities are seen as discriminatory because they allow the military on campus. Joining the Army is a good option for many, and impeding students from learning about this opportunity isn't a very educated decision. There's a big difference between an group that recruits students for the purpose of working against gays, and an organization that has a discriminatory policy buried within its ranks. Furthermore, tying obligations to federal funding is nothing new. Universities must follow a million specifications to get government grants; this requirement is just another one in the pile. The forum is following up on it because winning the case will help put pressure on the military to change its policy We would like to see the policy changed, partly because we don't think it has anything to do with fighting. Soldiers of every race, sex and creed are needed, and discrimination goes against the military's goals. However, this case is stretched thin. Whatever the outcome, the "don't ask, don't tell" policy will not change. Only time and a shifting public opinion can do that. In this political climate, the military unfortunately will lose more recruits than it gains if it changes the policy now. The military shouldn't speak against gays or actively encourage discrimination on campus. Beyond that, students can make their own decisions about the worthiness of the organization. We can't win the battle against discrimination from such an awkward angle. Instead, we should focus on a more direct and relevant issue: Is promoting violence an acceptable recruitment tactic on college campuses? l th idpdnt florid 0-1119tom Mike Gimignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR Emily Yehle OPINIONS EDITOR Tom Durrenberger, Scott Gilton, Andrew Meyer EDITORIAL BOARD The Alligator encourages comments from readers.

ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/opinions &X) ~ -n Si-------Guestcolum Scientific~~~ ~ -hoismr ta use t is clear that there are significant public misconceptions about the debate on "intelligent design." Part of this ambiguity stens from a general misunderstanding of science the roots of which are fodder for an entire series of opinion columns -and part of it is caused by the parties involved in the controversy. There are two facets to this debate: One is political, and the other is academic. Neither concerns the validity or correctness of "intelligent design"; that is, of whether it is a plausible idea or not. The political controversy centers on the legality of teaching an inherently religious philosophy in public schools and whether that is constitutional. I will not dwell on the political situation, as I am sure that everyone has heard plenty from the media. The other part of the debate, the academic angle, deals with whether "intelligent design" is actually a science. As Joseph Meert pointed out last Monday, the answer is a resounding "no." in his Wednesday column, Thomas Harrington correctly pointed out that a scientific theory is testable and falsifiable. What he failed to state, however, is that "intelligent design" does not meet these criteria. How do you falsify the hypothesis of the interaction of a higher being? By disproving the existence of God? That is not science. There is a reason that advocates focus on trying to discredit the neo-Darwinian natural selection theory rather than on testing. "Intelligent design" is a philosophy, not a science. Rather than explain the how, "intelligent design", actually deals with the why. I agree with Meert that it has an appropriate classroom setting -one that is a theology or philosophy class, not a science class. The public should also realize what the "intelligent design" idea actually states. The concept does not refute evolution. A curious person needs only to refer to the Web site of the Discovery Institute, the primary institutional proponent for "intelligent design," to realize this. Evolution is, as defined by evolutionary biologist Douglas J. Futuyma, ".change in the properties of populations of organisms that Jonathan transcend the lifetime of a single indiHoffman vidual." Advocates attempt to explain Speaking Out the cause for this change and attach purpose to it, not deny its existence. They do not even fully reject natural selection, the driving mechanism behind neo-Darwinian evolution. They concede that genetic mutations do occur, causing change, but they contend that not all of these mutations are random. As a scientist, I am disturbed by the general misconception that a scientific theory holds little credence. Last week, one editorial author stated that "evolution is as much of a theory as 'intelligent design,"' implying that evolution is still only a "lowly" theory. In science, it is an accolade for an idea to attain the level of theory, not a dishonor. A scientific theory is based on observations that have been subjected to and withstood numerous tests, including attempts at falsification. Statements such as "it's just a theory" equate a theory with a hypothesis. Relativity, the idea behind the splitting of atoms and nuclear energy, is "just" a theory. No one, however, debates its validity because it has been upheld through countless trials. It also does not challenge our concepts of creation, but I digress. .Lastly, I can only shake my head at Ashley Wills' claim that evolution is a "philosophy issue." In the science community, the occurrence of evolution is supported beyond debate. We have witnessed it happen before our very eyes with the annual formation of new viral strains. Further evidence has come from the fossil record, in which we have discovered impressive evolutionary sequences, for example, in horses and whales. In her column, Wills refuted evolutionary biology's status as a science. It is my hope that most people can realize that evolutionary biology and its related fields are science. Furthermore, I hope that people will understand fully the position they advocate. Jonathan Hoffman is a graduate student in the Department of Geological Sciences.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 7 Letters to the Editor Flag supporters comical, uninformed After a nice relaxing break, it was good to come back to campus to find the comedy that was the Alligator Letters to the Editor on Monday. Nothing says hilarity like two individuals who do not attend UF and have well-developed opinions on things they know nothing about. Since space is limited, I will address the letter from Wes Hamilton, a proud resident of Clyde, Texas, who apparently has no connection with UF whatsoever. Hamilton goes to great pains to inform us, the impressionable student body, that his seventh cousin, Robert E. Lee, did not in fact take up arms against his country but simply switched his allegiance when another group of seemingly non-traitorous individuals decided to establish a new nation. No rebellion there at all!. What puzzles me the most, however, is Hamilton's prestigious family history. He claims that he had grandfathers in six states and that all of them were officers and soldiers in the Confederate Army. I was under the impression that most people only had two grandfathers. I have heard of inbreeding in the South, but I thought this was just conjecture and rumor. Hamilton proves that this is indeed a historical certainty. If, as Hamilton claims, the Confederates were fighting for the value system embodied by Thomas Jefferson, why does the United States still exist under the Constitution? How exactly did the election of Abraham Lincoln threaten America's "principles, morals and rights" as codified by the Founding Fathers? He really doesn't answer this question very well and instead spews the same vitriolic rhetoric that so many pro-Dixie people have trotted out over the years. OVoA .. The only thing that Hami was lacking was a Zell Mille challenging Andrew Bare to a field of honor. U U U Iton's letter r-esque line duel on the Mike Bowen 9LS Bare judges past by today's standards Andrew Bare's Wednesday column "Confederate flag is a symbol of treason" makes the mistake of judging the people of the 1860s by current standards. For example, the column stated, "Lee had his chance to serve his country or serve his state. He chose his state." But to Lee, his state was his country. The federal government was much smaller and weaker in 1860 than it is today. Back then, Americans did not have Social Security numbers, they did not pay federal income taxes, and most did not carry U.S. passports. They moved from state to state much less than people do today, and they had fewer relatives and friends in other states. Therefore, it is not surprising that they felt more like citizens of their states than citizens of the United States. To many of them, the idea that their states could not leave the United States would be comparable to the modern idea that a nation cannot leave the United Nations. Many Southerners opposed secession and slavery -and ending slavery was not initially a goal of the Union -but chose to resist or were even forced to resist an armed invasion of the South. Does that make those people evil? If the Confederate flag is a symbol of treason, then the U.S. flag is also a symbol of treason. The stars and stripes is the flag going on? Check out the holiday Wift Guides for great gift ideas! Holiday Gift Guide I comes out Nov. 18 Holiday Gift Guide I comes out Dec. 2 of people who rebelled against the British government. Also, many people who fly the flag today are not trying to honor Confederate heritage or make a political or social statement. To many, the flag is just a symbol of the South or Southern pride. And many people just fly the flag as a kind of silly or fun thing. I think this is especially true of the Louisiana State University sports fans, who wave a purple and gold -LSU's school colors -version of the flag. Larry Fafarman Los Angeles Confederacy honored for many reasons I am by no means an ardent supporter or admirer of the Confederacy, but the argument presented by Andrew Bare is patently ridiculous. By the same reasoning process, Old Glory is also a symbol of treason. Should we be ashamed? Should we avoid flying it when it might offend the United Kingdom? Don't be ridiculous. The South had reasons other than slavery for revolting. This does not excuse it but represents extenuating circumstances. Afterward, the people who had to prosecute the war felt that the reasons for the revolt were not unreasonable as evinced by the easy terms granted postwai-. If many of the ones who fought and died as a result of the South's decision did not blame it overmuch, I don't think it makes sense for us to do that now. The Confederacy represents many things to many people. If we are to live in a free society, we need to learn to tolerate and grasp that a reverence for its better intentions does not necessitate ignorance of its flaws. Further, if we are to learn from its mistakes, we cannot do so by eradicating it from memory. Those offended by the flag would be better off using it to discuss the errors it represents than to make it disappear from human experience. Nicholas Bretagna 11 UF employee U U U More to Southern story than most know I used to believe the things that Andrew Bare professed in his column. I was a Yankee, born and raised in the North Country where I live. I earned a master's in American history from a university in Kansas, a state that flaunts its "abolitionist" history. It wasn't until after I had the degree and spent four years working at the Kansas State Historical Society Library/ Archives that I realized there was much more to the story than is publicly taught in schools today. Secession was not unconstitutional before the Civil War, only after was it declared so. The original colonies had done the same thing from England, but we glorify them as heroes. The war was primarily over tyranny, secondarily over slavery. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant owned slaves; Gen. Robert E. Lee did not. Lincoln did not free all slaves, only slaves in southern states. There were plenty of slaves in border states and northern slaves that were not freed. The Confederacy at the end of the war allowed black units, and during the war, allowed individual black soldiers and had entire Native American regiments. I could go on, but I won't. I will end with this quote from a Union hero: "If I thought this war was about slavery, I would resign my commission and take my sword to the other side." Guess who said that? Ulysses S. Grant.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org By DAN TREAT Alligator writer dtreat@asligator.org It didn't seem much like a night for record breaking Monday at the O'Connell Center. Coming off three straight wins against opponents from major conferences, UF met up with Alabama State, a team from the Southwest Athletic Conference coming into the game with a first-year coach and a 1-4 record. But with an 87-60 win over the Hornets, the No. 11 Gators jumped out to a 6-0 seasonopening record for the first time since Coach Billy Donovan came to Gainesville in 1996 and the first time since the 1984-85 season, Vernon Maxwell's first in orange and blue. That team, however, failed to make the NCAA Tournament, a fact Donovan noted after the game as he downplayed the accomplishment. "It doesn't really mean a lot to me, Donovan said. "Because we've had some very very good teams here over the last 10 years that haven't gotten off to a start like we've got. I'm not really that wrapped up in it." Donovan also felt that the achievement showed the relative lack of basketball heritage at UF. "I think what it really shows people is the lack of tradition that's been here in basketball over an extended period of time," Donovan said. With the game never really in doubt, the Gators jumped out to a 10-0 lead and never looked back. Spurred on by a 4-for-4 start from the field by Corey Brewer, who finished 8 for 9 with 17 points, seven rebounds and five assists, UF took a 45-32 lead into the locker room. Al Horford posted his second doubledouble of the season, finishing with 12 points and 11 rebounds, but admitted it wasn't an easy game. "We went through some slumps," Horford said. "We've got to work on that. We've got to be more consistent and play the whole 40 minutes." And sophomore Taurean Green continued his steady shooting from the foul line, shooting 10 for 10 from the charity stripe while running his streak of consecutive free throws made up to 24. "We went through some slumps. We've got to work on that. We've got to be more consistent and play the whole 40 minutes." Al Horford UF basketball player Green finished with 18 points. "That. is very helpful when you have a point guard that's a good free-throw shooter that can get fouled," Donovan said. "And he's a good enough creator and penetrator that he can get in the lane and create and make some things happen." The highlight, or perhaps lowlight, of the game, came when Donovan was on the receiving end of an accidental smack above the right eye from one of the officials as he was signaling for a media timeout. "I was really hoping no one saw that," Donovan said. "I just told the ref thank God he didn't have any rings on, so I was at the wrong place in the wrong time .he obviously didn't do it on purpose. "But the last thing I wanted to know, and [the television announcers] said they showed it about 10 times and kept replaying it, so I'm sure it looks really good on tape." Andy Apicella / Alligator staff UF junior forward Chris Richard throws down a slam against Alabama State Monday night in the O'Connell Center. The Gators won 87-60, improving to 6-0, Big wins came from sub-par rivals, easy home schedule for Gators hy is everyone getting so upset about what Florida State running back Lorenzo Booker said? As it turns out, he was right. FSU and UF really do not belong on the same field. Anyone watching the game on Saturday could've seen that. Booker and the rest of FSU's inept offense must've forgotten that the Florida high-school playoffs were in Miami this year, not in the Swamp, because that's what they showed up for. So yes, UF's blowout was a big win, but how big? The Seminoles 0 SFCC Men's Hoops: Pasco-Hernando vs Santa Fe SFCC Gymnasium, 7 p.m. Admission is $3 for general public and free for SFCC students. and their leader are in what is beyond a downward spiral. The Seminoles have lost three in a row. They are drowning without a lifeboat because three more losses are on tap. Want to see ugly? Tune into this weekend's travesty of an ACC Championship and watch Virginia Tech win by however many points Frank Beamer wants to. After that, it doesn't matter Who FSU plays in its bowl because any bowl-eligible team could defeat the 'Noles where their program is now. Then, they open with Miami next year. Half a dozen losses in a row, me1. Duke (61) 2. Texas (6) 3. Connecticut (4) 4. Villanova (1) 10. Kentucky 11. UF 5-0 5-0 4-0 2-0 4-1 5-0 thinks. This is why UF's win on wasn't as big Ian Fisher as everyone Extra lannings is making ifiheraiigaor~rg it out to ifishereailigstsr.org be. Yes, the Gators blew out their biggest rival. However, their biggest rival hasn't been this bad in a long, long time. Couple that with beating a terrible Tennessee team, and you've got two of the big three that UF won this year. Then, there was Georgia sans quarterback. Sure, the Gators never trailed to any of those three this year, but there's no reason they should have. Yes, the Gators went undefeated at home, but they also didn't play anybody at home. Has the Swamp been taken back yet? Inconclusive. The Gators are going to probably their worst bowl in at least 10 years, yet because of one victory against a terrible FSU team, people are labeling this season a definite success. Did I miss something? UF did lose three games -one to a lesstalented team and one in which the Gators had a five-turnover advantage over their opponent. So how then is this season a success, as many fans feel after defeating down-and-almost-out FSU? It's not. Ask any of the fans (or my colleague Louis) who predicted the Gators to go to the national championship or a BCS bowl. Ask UF's seniors for that matter. For them, it is just another season in which UF didn't have a shot at a Southeastern Conference Championship. Success? I think not. N Two UF football players were honored by the SEC following Saturday's win against FSU. Randy Hand was named Offensive Lineman of the Week and Jarvis Herring was named Defenisve Player of the Week. >~ E 1969: Carlos Alvarez sets a UF record with 15 receptions in a game in a win against Miami. Alvarez also set the UF record with 88 receptions in a season. Chad Jackson needs seven catches in UF's bowl game to break it. UF MEN'S BASKETBALL NIpg GaOrs breevzer by OHorohet S
