UF partner benefit plan could cost $1M
* TRUSTEES WILL DECIDE
THE ISSUE FRIDAY.
By JUSTIN RICHARDS
Alligator Writer
jrichards@alligator.org
Same-sex partners of UF employ-
ees may soon be eligible for the same
health benefits that their married
colleagues enjoy.
UF's highest governing body, the
Board of Trustees, will vote Friday
on extending university health
benefits to domestic partners of
employees, gay or straight, and their
children.
To qualify, unmarried couples
must live together for a significant
amount of time, typically at least six
months, and be mutually respon-
sible for one another's emotional
and financial well-being, according
to UF human resources.
Tamara
UF Cohen,
Administration director
of the UF
Office
of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and
Transgender Affairs, said the pro-
posal could boost UF in its drive to
be a Top 10 public university.
"The university has one more
possibility of attracting and retain-
ing the best faculty and staff. And
it certainly could make a difference
in some individual people's lives,"
Cohen said.
She said people have left the uni-
versity because they could not get
benefits for their partners.
"There have been people who
have had sick partners or people
in their families who they've had
to cover huge expenses for," Cohen
said.
UF would be the first public uni-
versity in the state to offer these ben-
efits, though some private Florida
schools, including the University of
Miami, already do.

* OFFICIALS BLAMED MONEY
PROBLEMS FOR THE LACK.
By DIANA MAZZELLA
SAlligator Writer
dmazzella@alligator.org
Students, faculty and staff endeav-
ored Tuesday to explain why there is
no director position for Asian Pacific
Americans at UF and why it should
exist.
"In Student Affairs, money is
the No. 1 issue," Associate Dean of
Students Mary Kay Schneider said at
a forum in the Reitz Union Ballroom,
before a crowd of about 60.
English professor Malini Schueller,
who specializes in Asian American
studies, said the justification that there
is not enough money for the position
of director of Asian Pacific American
Affairs is not a valid excuse.
"There's always money for stuff
that needs to be done," she said.
Fellow English professor Amy.
Ongiri quickly concurred.
"Why does the money fall short
when it comes to Asian Americans?"
she asked.
According to university records,
about 7 percent of the UF student
body is composed of Asian students.
"We do try as best we can
with the resources we have to
support the Asian American
students."
Natalia Leal
Graduate Assistant for Asian Pacific
American Affairs
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and
Transgender Affairs Director Tamara
Cohen, who was hired about a year
ago, explained to the crowd how
her position came about. Studies
conducted to determine the climate
on the UF campus toward the LGBT
community were some steps toward
it, she said.
She advised attendees to have
patience and continue to hold events
like the panel.
"Take full advantage of the great
graduate assistant that you have
now," Cohen said.

Korean American, so there's
some identity issues."
Ranada said Lee dressed up

PUBLIC SAFETY
Unknown man enters Lexington Crossing apartment
By STEPHANIE RODRIGUEZ
Alligator Writer
srodriguez@alligator.org
Tears ran from her eyes when she spoke
about the burglar who stood at the foot of her
bed at 5 a.m. Tuesday.
The 19-year-old UF psychology major, who
wished to remain anonymous for safety rea-
sons, explained how seeing the unknown man
in her Lexington Crossing apartment was the
most terrifying moment of her life.
"Who are you?" she asked the burglar.
He said nothing.
"Who let you in?" she asked.
"Your roommate let me in," the burglar
said.
She said she felt paralyzed and confused as
the tall, dark figure aimed a flashlight in her
eyes, preventing her from seeing his face.
She did the first thing that came to her
mind and grabbed the bat beside her bed and
threatened him to get out of her room.
As she ran at him with the bat, the man ran
out of her room and out of the apartment lo-
cated in Phase HI, Building D of the complex..
"I don't know how he got in," she said. "We
locked the door before we went to sleep."
There were no noticeable signs of a break-
in.
The man stole the electronic key to her
roommate's car that was hanging on a hook
near the kitchen, but he left the actual car key
on the floor.
The roommate noticed the keys were miss-
ing when the police arrived, and later discov-
ered her car had been rummaged through.
The roommate didn't notice anything taken
from her car.
"I think he broke into my roommate's car
before he entered my room," the student said.
She said she thinks the burglar was a black
man between 5'11" to 6' tall who wore long
basketball shorts and a long-sleeve sweater.
Neighbor Raymond Sierra said a man with
a similar description came by his apartment at
10 p.m. Saturday trying to sell him cleaning
solution.
"It looked like Kool-Aid in a bottle," Sierra
said. "He kept insisting on coming into my
apartment and cleaning my rug."
Sierra said that the man insisted the money
he was trying to collect was to keep kids off
the streets.
"He looked suspicious," Sierra said. "It
looked like he was trying to look around the
apartment, as if he wanted something from
inside."
The student felt the same as Sierra, and
she said the man appeared to be searching for
something specific because he did not steal
anything of major value.
"The weird thing is that he stole my room-
mate's key padlock and not the key to her car,"
she said. She said police took fingerprints on
the car and on the door the apartment.
Gainesville Police spokesman Keith Kameg
had no comment on the incidents.
Recycling program to educate, expand to more dorms
* UF PRESIDENT MADE NO-
WASTE CAMPUS A PRIORITY.
By ERIN EHRLICH
Alligator Contributing Writer
Recycling is slowly becoming a
front-burner activity around UF and
within the dormitories, after taking
a backseat to other issues for many
years.
Albert Krause, the solid waste
coordinator for UF, said that recy-
cling has had a "strong presence"
on campus since about 1989, but has
become a dominant priority with
the current administration.
"The president (Bernie Machen)
is making sustainability and recy-
cling-related issues a matter of per-
sonal concern," he said.
Krause emphasized that UF's
policy change is designed to get
officials at every level involved in
encouraging student participation.
"There's no recycling Gestapo,"
he said. "Police aren't authorized to
write tickets, and that will remain.
[But] ... activity heads are going to
be held somewhat accountable, so
that I can rat them out."
The change's catalyst was
Machen's Oct. 26 public announce-
ment pledging to eliminate all waste
from UF by 2015. Several student-
and faculty-run organizations, such
as the Environmental Action Group,
the Housing Recycling Committee
and the Physical Plant Division, are
working together to reorganize the
university's recycling system.
Environmental Action Group
Vice President Jessica Ducey said her
group has worked with the Student
Senate on a bill for new recycling
bins and student education.
"Contamination is a huge prob-
lem with bins," Ducey said. "That's
a big problem that is more on EAG's
side of educating students and teach-
ing people what you
On can and can't recyde."
Campus Contaminants such
as bottle caps, pizza
boxes and food wrappers are often
included with otherwise recyclable
materials. Krause said it is a waste of
time to try to remove, for example,
pizza grease from paper products.
Sharon Blansett, chair of the
Housing Recycling Committee,
cited an event last month when
two cardboard recycling receptacles
were placed in front of the tables
promoting recycling awareness.
The receptacles bore labels indi-
cating that they were for paper only.
But when food was given out at the
fair, students tossed their leftover
food and trash in the bins.
"There were plenty of garbage
bins out there as they served lunch,"
she said. "But those just happened
to be more convenient as somebody
walked by."
The Committee has been actively
recycling since the early 1990s,
educating residents and promoting
participation.
"Some of the things we've done
based on student input and what
they say they want to do is expand-
ed from our blue-bin programs,"
Blansett said.
All family housing, suites and
apartment-style dorms have blue
recycling bins, and the committee is
working to spread them to standard
dormitories, starting with Graham
this Fall and Yulee in the Spring.
The committee aims to make
bins more aesthetically pleasing,
as well as more accessible to dorm
residents. Ducey said that housing
recycling campaigns have been very
influential.
- "Working in the dorms is great
because you get the vast major-
ity of freshmen when they're living
there," she said.
Groups becoming more involved
in recycling hope to help students re-
alize that recycling on campus is not
only easy but makes a difference.
"President Machen had a lot of
other things to do when he first ar-
rived," Krause said. "He's put out a
lot of fires, and now it's time to put
this one on the burner."

On a Tuesday night
A bicycle lies on the sidewalk after a woman was hit in a low-speed car crash while riding
along 13th Street and Southwest Fifth Avenue on Tuesday.
By LYNDSEY LEWIS
Alligator Writer
Student Senate chose to feed stu-
dents' hunger for national news by
passing a bill to continue paying for
The New York Times and USA Today
Readership Program on Tuesday.
The bill, which allocates $45,000 of
Student Government reserve money
for the newspapers, will extend the 3-
year-old readership program and add
an additional 78 papers a day to the 765
already available.
Budget and Appropriations
Committee Chairman Ryan Mosley,
who sponsored the bill along with his
committee and three other senators,
emphasized the newspapers' popular-
ity among students.
"The reason this has been brought
forth to the budget meeting is there has
been kind of an outcry from the student
body for this information," he said.
Although the bill ultimately passed
Senate by an overwhelming major-
ity, some senators expressed concern

Students beat domestic violence with cell phones
* PHONES CAN BE DONATED
THROUGH DEC. 16.
By CHERYL CLARKE
Alligator Contributing Writer
You talk on it for hours at a
time. You use- it to text message
your friends.
Now you can use it to help
end domestic violence.
UF's Tau Beta Pi engineering
honor society teamed up with
GRC Wireless Recycling's Shelter
Alliance program to donate used
cellular phones to Peaceful Paths,
a domestic abuse network that
helps domestic violence survi-
vors in Alachua County.
Elif Akcali, one of the society's
faculty advisers, said she found
out about GRC last year and
was interested in its recycling
program as a service project for
the society.
She said she was drawn to the
recycling program's environmen-
tal and social impacts in donating
used phones.
Tau Beta Pi President Frank
Hartman said this project allows
students the chance to lend a
helping hand to the Gainesville
community without a lot of time
or obligation.
The society has received about

40 phones, but Akcali is hoping
for at least 100.
Once Tau Beta Pi collects the
phones, it will ship them to GRC.
GRC and Shelter Alliance will
then write a check for the honor
society to Peaceful Paths.
"One phone could be worth
up to $30 if it's a new phone,"
said Sonya Tucker Sidberry,, the
program manager at Shelter
Alliance. "A. brand new phone
could be worth $45."
Sidberry said the price of each
phone varies by its make and

model. Outdated and damaged
phones are not worth anything,
but Shelter Alliance will provide
50 cents for these phones anyway,
she said.
The group has collected more
than 500,000 phones nationally
this year, Sidberry said.
She added that she felt Tau
Beta Pi and the other organiza-
tions involved are not only recy-
cling, but also donating to a good
cause.
"What the shelter was not
able to do before, they are able
to do now," she said. "They need
money for programs down to
toiletries.",
Sidberry said the money
Peaceful Paths will receive can
be used to help the women in the
shelter directly.
Students can donate their cel-
lular phones in Akcali's office in
rooms 300 and 302 at Weil Hall.
Akcali said she is trying to
reserve a table at the Reitz Union
Colonnade next week to provide
a more visible area for people to
donate their phones. The dead-
line for donating is Dec. 16.
"We are the first Tau Beta Pi
chapter established, and we have
a lot of visibility at the national
level," Akcali said. "If we do this
and it becomes successful, then
that will be a great impact."

Adverse policy
UF officials set bad
example by firing student
Secrecy should never be the favored rule of a university.
It is an institution of knowledge, where students and
faculty should be encouraged to talk freely rather than
forced to tread lightly.
But UF seems to be run by fear and hesitation. Opinions.
are taboo. Meetings are private. Records are sealed.
And in Student Government, every word uttered is for
political gain, and every scrap of truth is twisted into a pun-
ishable offense.
UF's administration is silent on many fronts; SG is prolific
in rumors. When the two combine, a confusing and oppres-
sive result emerges.
Last week, Susan Henriques was fired from the SG
Finance Office because she told the Alligator that Student
Body Treasurer Lindsay Cosimi "should have caught" a vio-
lation of Student Body Statutes sooner.
The Spanish. American Law Students Association used
student money to partially fund a pig roast. The party was
held at a private residence a violation of statutes. But
Cosimi didn't report the problem until after the funds were
spent, ostensibly because she was trying to smear SALSA
President and student Sen. Jared Hemandez. Hemandez is
rumored to be running for student body president next Fall.
Sufficiently confused? It's the perfect example of convo-
luted SG politics. We haven't seen such underhanded at-
tempts since high school.
All these blatant stabs at political gain went unnoticed
and unpunished. But when Henriques uttered the words
everyone knew, she lost her job. And no one denies that she
excelled in that position.
Henriques was fired because of a contract that stated
she couldn't comment on behalf of the SG Finance Office.
However, the Alligator article clearly explains that Henriques
based her opinion on a personal observation at a Student
Senate meeting.
The contract is not unique within UF administration.
Several offices lay out strict rules about who can talk to the
press out of fear of misrepresentation. We agree that all em-
ployees should not be able to speak for their departments.
However, threatening anyone who states his or her personal
opinion is counterproductive to a learning environment. Do
UF officials trust their employees at all?
Of course, Henriques might have had a motive for outing
Cosimi's ineptitude. She ran and lost against Cosimi in the
Spring elections for treasurer.
She still was right, and her opinion still had merit.
The SG Finance Office should be niore focused on the po-
tential conflict of interest. Henriques was working at the of-
fice when she served as an SG senator over the Summer. She
was the Impact Party's treasurer in the Fall. She's entrenched
in SG politics, and yet she helps with the checks and balances
of the SG system. It's disturbing that officials are more con-
cerned with an honest comment than with her political con-
nections. We aren't too worried about either, but we can see
the irrationality of condemning one and not the other.
SG senators and executives will always bicker through the
media, but UF officials shouldn't get involved in the fight. As
our mentors, they should encourage opinions and involve-
ment.
We expect childish and paranoid behavior from SG; we
need respect and education from our superiors.

Ideals of Israeli democracy admirable
he thing about democracy is that it can be really in-
convenient..
The political aims of ambitious men often cannot
wait for a tranquil environment, so they rise to the fore in
times of extraordinary danger. The ambitious don't wait for
peace.
Fortunately, after enough time spent in a democratic
system, the citizenry can learn to accept, and at times even
enjoy, the preening of politicians.
So while there's no doubt that most Israelis were sur-
prised when Prime Minister Ariel Sharon abandoned the
Likud Party to form a new, more centrist Kadima Party, they
did what they always do: notice the presence of new facts,
strive to understand them and eventually accept them.
And when the Israeli Labour Party chose the Moroccan-
born Amir Peretz over longtime statesman Shimon Peres as
its leader, well, that wa5 just another new addition to the
ever-shifting world of Israeli politics.
The rationales and implications of all these changes are
of great concern'to the Israelis, but for those of us looking in
from the outside, the details are, if not irrelevant, somewhat
tangential to the main curiosity.
Ifnmerica is considered a young country at 229 years
old, what does that make Israel's democracy, born only in
1949?
And what does it say about the Israeli electorate? In the
midst of extraordinary.new developments in a decades-
long struggle for their country's very existence, they hap-,
pily go to the polls and vote to dramatically overhaul the
composition of their government.
It says that Israelis, surrounded by hostile tyrannies,
have embraced with vigor the raucous saga of democratic
governance. While fighting a constant battle for survival,
Israelis quickly have come to realize that the differences
inherent in humanity make a vital and robust political
system.
Discussion is good.. Debate is good. Dissent is good.
What the Bush administration can-
not accept, the Israelis understand
almost instinctively.
Israel's democracy is a perfect

I that inner family squabbling does
Andrew Bare nothing to diminish the family's
The Bare Truth core strength. There is no lack of
letters@alligator.org passionate disagreement within the
Israeli electorate; their politicians
fight and claw and scrape for every
bit of power and influence they can reach, just as politicians
in every democracy do.
Before Sharon's decision, the Israeli Knesset sat repre-
sentatives from 14 different parties. Israel's complicated
electoral system ensures that a massive range of ideas and
philosophies are represented in the government. Israeli pol-
itics are quarrelsome and often bitter; such is often the case
when the issues discussed are matters of national survival.
And yet these same men and women who squabble
with such tenacity one moment join together in indivisible
solidarity the very instant the safety and well-being of the
Israeli people are threatened. The ability to recognize that
disagreement in no way equates with disloyalty is an indis-
pensable element of any healthy democracy.
Perhaps the necessity of accepting any willing pair of
hands in May 1948 inculcated to Israel the irrationality of
questioning the loyalty of citizens with different views.
In March of next year, Israel will hold elections for
parliamentary representatives. It's probably not wise to
speculate on the election results. It is, however, entirely safe
to state that the elections will be models of efficiency and
professionalism, resulting in a legitimate government that
makes decisions with which not all Israelis will agree.
But it will result in a government all Israelis will accept.

Guest Column
Civil War cause proven wrong
Several letters from obscure places have
been written about how Andrew Bare is
an idiot because this nation was actually
formed by people that committed treason.
They say slavery wasn't the only issue
involved in the Confederate secession from
the Union (despite no discussion of'slavery
in Bare's column). They declare that when
the Confederate flag is flown, it is more out of
Southern pride or unity than in honor of the
Confederacy. They say that the United States
today is different from the United States of
the 1800s, so it's more understandable for the
South to secede. And they are absolutely right
except in their assertion that Bare is an idiot.
However, there are some problems with
their arguments. I would say the problem
with honoring the Confederate flag today
is not that it honors people who committed
treason, but rather because today is a differ-
ent time than the Civil War days. We now
realize slavery is wrong, and seceding was not
the way to go. So why still honor the wrong
decision?
This brings me back to the slavery issue.
Obviously, slavery was not the only, and not
even the-biggest, issue. But guess what? The
desire to spread Aryan "superiority" was not
the only, or even the biggest, reason Hitler
invaded other countries at the beginning of
Jason Queen World War II.
Speaking Out Odd. I still would
say that such a desire
is morally wrong and
offensive by itself, without taking into consid-
eration the events that transpired. Of course,
it's understood that the two are different in
scale, but it's the same idea.
Yes, some blacks did fight for the
Confederate army and most started fighting
toward the end of the war. Wouldn't you
say the order of events would indicate that
the South had no other choice but to enlist
their help? The argument is made that some
Northerners were pro-slavery and some
Southerners were anti-slavery. No kidding.
This is the case with any issue at any historical
time period. History is a study of trends, not
outliers.
Slavery is the issue that primarily makes
the Confederate secession nothing to be hon-
ored, despite its location on the priority tree
in the Civil War era. Remember the flag and
what it stands for and learn from it. Be proud
of being from the South if you want. You can
even do so by flying your Dixie flag.
But don't be surprised if random people
who walk by judge you for it. That's your
decision.

Prof urges Congo aid
By STEPHANIE ROSENBLATT
Alligator Writer
srosenblatt@alligator.org
When Josephine Badinga trav-
eled back to Kisangani in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo
after living 16.years in the United
States, she could not believe her
eyes.
"Every little bit is going to
have a massive effect be-
cause they have nothing."
Charles Kibert
Rinker School of Building Con-
struction professor
The streets of Kisangani were
almost deserted. The few cars on the
streets belonged to United Nations
workers and ex-military personnel.
When Badinga asked Congo citi-
zens what happened, she said .they
replied, "This is what the Rwandan
and Ugandan forces did to us. We
have nothing."
Since 1994, the Congo, Rwanda
and Uganda have been mired in a
war for resources that has claimed
the lives of more than 4 million peo-
ple, the largest international conflict
since World War H.
Badinga, a UF associate profes-
sor, spoke to about fifteen students
Tuesday, proposing to work with
UF students to improve schooling
in the Congo.
"This may sound like just a
story, but it's true." Badinga said.
"Some schools are made of trees
and mud with palm fronds as a
roof."
When Badinga, 46, returned to
Kisangani, all of the teachers were
on strike because they had not re-
ceived their salary of $10 a month in
five or six months. But now, Badinga
said teachers want to return teach-
ing because they know the students
need it.
"What we wanted to do at first
was build a school, but building
a school in an area with so much
red tape is difficult," Badinga said.
"Right now, what we're trying to
do is gather supplies, especially
desks."
Badinga contacted Charles
Kibert, a professor in the. Rinker
School of Building Construction try-
ing to organize a system to send the
school supplies to the Congo.
"Every little bit is going to have
a massive effect because they have
nothing," Kibert said. "It is our
moral responsibility to do some-
thing about this."
Human Rights Awareness on
Campus, a UF student organiza-
tion that has been focusing on the
genocide in Darfur, Sudan, is con-
sidering spearheading the project
at UF to include students in the
creation of a sustainable school in
the Congo.

Kristin Nichols/ Alligator
Josephine Badinga uses her laptop to locate on a map the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where she
was born and raised. Badinga spoke at a Human Rights Awareness on Campus meeting Tuesday night
about the conditions in the country as part of their AIDS Awareness Week activities.
"We're going to try to raise funds
for the project, but our intention
is more along the lines of having
people donate pens, pencils, note-
books and backpacks because the
most urgent need is the basic items
'for schooling," said Nikolas Wolfe,
president of HRAC.
Wolfe said that without educa-
tion, there's no hope for peaceful
future in the Congo.
"We need an entire generation
who grows up with a stable educa-
tion system and less violence and
war surrounding them," Wolfe
said. "Then you can start working
toward peace and reconciliation in
the Congo."
Students waiting to get involved
in the project can contact Badinga at

that they really want to teach," Edwards
said.
"Listen to your heart," Bright-Phillips said.
"If you have a heart for teaching, you owe it to
yourself to try out.this program. I don't think
you'll be disappointed."
The entire 21-credit-hour equivalent course
costs about $1,350. "Plus, you get to use Pell
grants if you are eligible because these are
courses for teachers," Edwards said.
Edwards said she believes that the cur-
riculum has pulled the "meat" out of all other
college courses related to education and incor-
porated it in the institute.
Edwards taught while she was earning a
master's degree at UF.
"I would sit in class and hear the teachers
talk about what would happen in a classroom,
and I would be like, 'That's not how it re-
ally works,'" Edwards said. "The professors
hadn't been in the classroom environment for
almost 20 years."
To ensure that wouldn't happen at the in-
stitute, she said the institute's professors cur-
rently teach in Alachua County schools.
"All the curriculum is based on what
is happening in the school system today,"
Edwards said.
Students are required to participate in two
separate field experiences with 15 hours each,
where they will teach children in the local.
schools.
The institute will have an open information
session Thursday from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
in Building S, Room 29, for people interested
in the program.
"This is an opportunity to see if teaching is
your niche," Bright-Phillips said.
As Florida heads toward a demand for al-
most 30,000 teachers, Bright-Phillips said she
feels there should be more passionate teachers
in the school system.
"If a student senses you're passionate,
they'll get the message you are trying to get
across."

Drivers get over on SunPass
Photo Illustration by Tricia Coyne / Alligator Staff
Some students traveling on the Florida Turnpike have been known to
take advantage of a flaw within the SunPass transponder system.
* SOUTH FLORIDA NATIVES
HAVE SAVED MONEY ON THE
FLORIDA TURNPIKE.
By ANTONIO GONZALEZ
Alligator Contributing Writer
Some students saved money
traveling home Thanksgiving
weekend by exposing a flaw in
the Florida Turnpike toll system.
The trick involves using a
SunPass transponder, which
transmits a radio signal to sensors
mounted in toll lanes, and the
ticket system used by driverswho
do not have a SunPass. Drivers
attempt to trick the transponder
from letting it know when their
cars entered the Turnpike so they
are charged less.
A 20-year-old UF business
major, who requested to remain
anonymous to avoid legal con-
sequences, said he uses this trick
every time he drives to his Fort
Lauderdale home.
"It's just my way of beating
the system," he said. "It takes
enough money from me as it is."
SunPass is the Florida
Department of Transportation's
Prepaid Toll Program. SunPass
can be used on Florida's toll
roads and most toll bridges.
The student said the best
example of the SunPass trick is
used between the Three Lakes
Toll Plaza, about 30 miles south
of Orlando, and the Lantana Toll
Plaza in Palm Beach County.
Normally, as a person drives
through a SunPass lane, a fee is
deducted from his or her prepaid
account corresponding to where
one enters the turnpike.
The student said on his way
to Fort Lauderdale, instead of
driving through the SunPass
lane at Three Lakes, he hides his
SunPass, goes through a regular
lane and gets a ticket.
"It is a crime when people
do this. And above all, it is
morally wrong."
Chad Huff
Spokesman for the Florida Depart-
ment of Transportation
When he arrives at the Lantana
toll plaza, instead of going
through a regular lane and show-
ing his ticket where a toll collec-
tor would charge the appropriate
fare, he goes through the SunPass
lane and it only charges him for
the exit before the toll plaza.
If done correctly, the SunPass
trick can save more than $20 on a
round-trip drive from Gainesville
to Fort Lauderdale, he said.
According to a ticket from
Three Lakes, a drive from Three
Lakes to Lantana on the Turnpike
would cost a regular, two-axle
vehicle $13.70. But with the
SunPass trick, the charge would
only be $1.30. The student veri-
fied this on his last bill.
Chad Huff, spokesman- for
the Florida Department of
Transportation, said the depart-
ment is aware of the gap in its
system. He said it was a problem
for a while, but newer models of
the SunPass and updated toll-
plaza sensors have resolved the
issue.
Huff said the newer updates
in SunPass technology should
charge a person for the entire
length of the turnpike if he or
she tries to cheat the system. He
said when the computer does not
recognize where a driver entered
the turnpike, it will charge him or
her like it would a person who
lost a ticket, the full price of the
turnpike.
Huff noted that in certain
instances a person might still
be able to expose the flaw, only
because every now and then the
computers make a mistake.
"It is a crime when people do
this," Huff said. "And above all,
it is morally wrong."
The student said all his friends
and family use it, and he tells peo-
ple about it every chance he gets.
"It's a crime what I have to
pay to get home on the turn-
pike," he said. "If it works, why
not do it?"
Adderall users on the rise among university students
By ASHTON GROSZ
Alligator Writer
agrosz@alligator.org
Illegal performance-enhancing drugs aren't
just for professional athletes some students
rely on their own form of dangerous pills.
Adderall, a prescription amphetamine rec-
ommended for patients with attention-deficit
hyperactivity disorder, has become increas-
ingly sought by university students as a study
aid for its ability to enhance concentration.
And for UF students preparing for the end
of the Fall semester and exams, many are either
unaware of, or unconcerned with, the negative
health effects of prescription stimulants.
Adderall causes potential long-term health
damage when misused by obtaining it illegally
from friends or dealers with prescriptions.
Previously approved as a diet pill before
it was considered too addictive for such use,
Adderall has been prescribed by psychiatrists
and physicians for the last 15 to 20 years strict-
ly to ADHD patients in order to improve their
focus, said UF professor of pharmacy Paul L.
Doering.
Erik J. Gooch, psychiatrist and chief resi-
dent at the UF Student Health Care Center,
said the number of Adderall prescriptions
increased by 15 percent from 2000 to 2001 a
figure he called "significant."
"I think [ADHD] is overdiagnosed, and
Adderall is being over-prescribed because
doctors are misdiagnosing," Gooch said.
In.order to keep Adderall out of the wrong
hands, Gooch requires self-diagnosed ADHD
. patients to undergo a rigorous series of neuro-
psychological tests lasting three to four hours.
Patients are put in situations where they must
pay attention for long periods of time.
The purpose of these tests is to accurately
diagnose ADHD and discourage the 20 per-
cent of students Gooch suspects are unaffected
by ADHD and schedule an appointment sim-
ply to obtain an Adderall prescription.
"Between the academic pressures of school
and the desire to party, it's a drug that's highly
sought out," he said.
Those without ADHD who take Adderall
are more likely to experience pan-
Student ic attacks as a result of increased
Life blood pressure, adrenaline re-
leased in the brain and nervous
system stimulation.
"The real concern I have is the psycho-
logical dependence," Doering said. "The stuff
works so well, there's a temptation to continue
to depend on it to study."
In addition to panic attacks, Gooch said
non-prescribed users taking Adderall recre-
ationally risk unwanted side effects such as
stroke, chronic depression and heart arythmia
as a result of disturbances in the heart's electri-
cal signals. Continued use evenaffects brain
chemistry and can cause significa damage
'over time. ,
"It basically 'eats up' your brain here
memory is stored," Gooch said. \
University Police officer Darren Sanders
said students' non-prescribed Adderal
use especially around exam week is\
something UPD is aware of but has difficulty
detecting.
Between himself and officer Holly Thomas,
they have 20 years of police service and have
never dealt with a case involving the drug on
campus.
"Have we talked to a student under the in-
fluence and didn't know it? Maybe," Sanders
said.
Possession of a prescription drug without a
prescription is a felony offense, he said.
"If you're in that level of addiction, we both
know where you're going," he said.
Partner benefits already in place at 295 colleges nationwide, including Ivy League
TRUSTEES, from page 1
The universities of Michigan,
Washington and Colorado, the
California State University system
and all eight Ivy League universi-
ties offer domestic partner benefits
to their employees.
According to gay and lesbian
civil rights group Human Rights
Campaign, 295 colleges nationwide
provide the benefits.
"It's not coming up now as a
result of any specific advocacy by
any specific group. It's coming up
because in order to be in the Top 10,
they need to be competitive with
other top.universities," Cohen said.-
University of Minnesota Benefit
Specialist Mayrinda Phimmavong
said her university has provided
benefits to same-sex partners for
years. She said the number of UM
faculty has grown since.
. "It has increased the faculty
participation and recruitment at the
university," she said.
UF Vice President for Human
Resources Kyle Cavanaugh wrote
in an e-mail that the added insur-
ance coverage will cost UF between
$500,000 and $1 million. His office
has stated that typically less than 1
percent of employees take advan-
tage of domestic-partner benefits.
The insurance offered to unmar-
ried partners is still more limited
than what spouses receive.
The domestic-partner ben-
efits are provided by a Health
Maintenance Organizaion, or
HMO, which is more limited in
its coverage than the Preferred
Provider Organization that sup-
ports married partners.
Cohen said there is a discrep-
ancy only because few providers
approached UF due to the small
sliver of potential clientele.
UF Student Body President Joe
Goldberg, who serves on the Board
of Trustees, declined comment
on the issue's merit. But he said
the proposal may affect the fund-
ing UF receives from the Florida
Legislature.
"There are several legislators
who have voiced their concerns
with domestic-partner benefits,"
he said.
Indeed, when UF created
Cohen's Office of LGBT Affairs in
February, state Rep. Dennis Baxley,
R-Ocala, spoke out.
"It makes it difficult for me to
come up here and support giving
more taxpayer dollars to institu-
-tions with these kinds of values,"
he said at the time. ,
Speaking on domestic partner
benefits in March, Baxley said:
"Some of these people have 300
partners in their lifetime, and by
and large, these are not monoga-
mous relationships ... How many
partners do you want to have to
cover?"
But Cohen said the benefits are
not a political issue.
"It's not about recognizing a
relationship the state doesn't recog-
nize," she said. "It's about treating
all employees equally."

Injury could bench Kubin for '06
By TIM CASEY
Alligator Staff Writer
tcasey@alligator.org
Season-ending arm injuries
seem to have become contagious
on the UF baseball team.
Well, at least in one Museum
Walk apartment.
Sophomore outfielder/
designated hitter Jared Kubin will
join his roommate, sophomore
pitcher Stephen Locke, in reha-
bilitation after Kubin undergoes
surgery to repair a torn labrum in
his right shoulder.
Kubin will have surgery in
mid-December near his hometown
of Oakton, Va., and could miss the
2006 season, he said. Locke under-
went Tommy
John surgery in
September and
won't play this
year.
'" played
with it hurt
all summer,"
Kubin Kubin said. "It
wasn't until I
came back [to Gainesville] that I
found out it was torn."
Last season at UF, Kubin batted
.292 over 45 games, with 18 RBIs
and two home runs in 106 at-bats.
This year he was in competi-
tion for the starting left field job,
with Gavin Dickey likely mov-
ing to center field to replace Jeff
Corsaletti.
"I was working really hard all
summer and fall trying to earn that
left field spot," Kubin said. "All I
know is I'll be able to swing a bat
again in 2 to 3 months."
Now, the starting left field
job will likely go to a newcomer
- there are several talented trans-
fers and freshmen on the team.

Peck to face former
Gators in Charlotte
By NICK ZACCARDI
Alligator Writer
Coach Carolyn Peck might
have reservations about taking
the Gators to Charlotte, because
some of her players might not
come back. -
Two former UF players,
Amanda Butler and Kelly
Stevenson, have already de-
fected to Charlotte.
Butler, who played at UF
from 1990-94 and spent the next
two seasons as an assistant un-
der Carol Ross, is the first-year
head coach for the 49ers, who
host UF tonight at 5:30 p.m.
She is the first former Gator to
be the head coach of a Division I
basketball program.
"I'm happy to see her be-
. come a head coach," Peck said.
"She's done a great job with that
program."
Butler returned to Gainesville
as an assistant at Charlotte last
season, when UF beat the 49ers
86-72 to take the State Farm
Classic championship.
She has been looking for-
ward to getting another shot at
her alma mater, and now she has
the home-court advantage.
"It was really nice until game
time [last year]," Butler said.
"We had a performance that was
sub par ... Anytime you have a
quality opponent like Florida on
your home court, you want to
play well."
Stevenson, a guard from
2002-04, works behind the
scenes as the director of basket-
ball operations.
Butler said that Stevenson
can't give any on-court coaching
because of NCAA regulations.
Instead, Stevenson handles
the 49ers' travel plans and other
off-court preparations.
Though Butler and Stevenson
never coached with Peck, their
team resembles the Gators.
"When you look at our stats,
we are very similar," Peck said.
"They are led in scoring by a
guard and then
followed by two
B || post players ...
We are led in
scoring by [guard]
Sha Brooks and then [forwards]
Dalila Eshe and Brittany Davis.
"They are a full-court team
as well defensively, so I think it
will be a battle of the defenses.
I think the keys for us are that
we've got to rebound the bas-
ketball, and we have to take care
of the ball."
FRESHMAN EARNS
RECOGNITION: Brooks was
named the Southeastern
Conference Freshman of the
Week on Monday.
"I think a lot of people focus
on Sha's offense," Peck said.
"What I like about Sha is that she
has great instinct defensively."
Against in-state rivals Florida
State and Stetson, Brooks aver-
aged 16.5 points and five assists
per game.
She is the only Gator who has
scored in double figures in every
game this season.

Thomas says he will return next season; Harvey suspended for half
GATORS, from page 20
ime, and I'm very confident about
WAhat I can do down there."
Thomas a defensive tackle
hat % as one of the UF's top players
-:n defense this season said he
,-.urned in his paperwork but won't
be entering the draft.
"I'm not going anywhere,"
Thomas said.
"Most likely, I already know [I
won't be drafted] in the first round. I
want to be that top-10-type [pick] so
I'll have to wait until next year."
HARVEY SUSPENDED: Redshirt fresh-
man defensive end Derrick Harvey
- who was ejected from Saturday's
game for fighting with Florida State
offensive lineman Cornelius Lewis
- will miss the first half of UF's
bowl game.
Meyer said he knows that
Harvey didn't initiate the fight, but
that doesn't matter.
"Does that make it right? No.
He's as bad as the guy that threw
the first one," Meyer said. "There
was a game around here a year.
ago [against Tennessee] where [the
Gators] lost because [Dallas Baker]
took a second swing and [it resulted]
in a 15-yard penalty.
"That's going to hurt us be-
cause we were counting on Derrick
Harvey to get us ready, and he was
going to play more in that game."
GATORS RETURN TO FIELD: While
most teams are traditionally given
time off between their final regu-
lar-season game and bowl practice,
Meyer had his team back on the field
Tuesday.
The early practices are mainly to
keep the team in shape and to help
the younger players develop.
Injuries continue to pile for UF, may hamper national runner-up Gators' seasor-
BASEBALL, from page 18
[his is another blow for last year's national
umner-up UF team. While the Gators are still
rejectedd to be one of the top teams in the na-
ion, they have already lost ace pitcher Alan
ornome and shortstop Justin Tordi to the pros in
addition to the Kubin and Locke injuries.
SUF coach Pat McMahon said Kubin's injury
lid not occur when he dislocated the shoulder
luring the regional playoffs last season.
"This was an older injury he developed in
-igh school," McMahon said. "It's related to
growing. It recurred in the summer."
Despite being named MVP of the Atlantic
Baseball Confederation Collegiate League
All-Star Game in Lakewood, N.J., on July 25,
Kubin said he couldn't throw all summer.
"I couldn't raise my 'arm high enough," he
said.
He batted .423 for the Toms River Black Sox
during 26 at-bats in nine games, hitting two
home runs and driving in 11 RBIs.
During fall team practices, Kubin would
flip any balls he caught to the center fielder to
throw back to the infield to avoid any strain on
his shoulder.
"He wasn't at full-speed in the fall, so
we had to make adjustments to try to work
through it with our training staff."
Baseball athletic trainer John Barrett
worked with Kubin to monitor the injury and
prevent further strain.
"They did a great job of rehabbing it,"
Kubin said. "JB is great. I originally thought it
was tendonitis. This type of injury is common
for baseball players."
Kubin's father, Larry Kubin, played six
seasons in the NFL as a linebacker. Jared has
listened to advice from the former professional
athlete.
"He told me to use it as a positive, which
I'm trying to do," Kubin said. "I'm really go-
ing to try to expand my knowledge of the
mental aspects of the game."
McMahon said that while the injury is a
setback for Kubin and the Gators, it is also an
opportunity for another player to replace the
slugger's bat in the lineup.
"It's a tough injury for Jared and the ball-
dub," McMahon said. "Someone will have to
step up to fill his role."
He said the decision to operate was tough.
"He could still hit this fall and could have
gone all season as a DH, but it limits what we
can do as a team," McMahon said.
"Jared's worked his best to get through it,
but the pain and limited mobility were still
there. The right thing to do at this point is to
let the doctors take care of it."
Kubin has accepted the circumstances but
said he will miss being on the field.
"I honestly feel that in the long run, this is
part of God's plan," Kubin said. "What will
hurt me the most is not being out there with
the team. I'd do anything for my coaches and
teammates."

is "promised" by all sorts of outsiders that he
will be a first, second or third-round draft pick
in the NFL, only to wind up out of football be-
fore his 21st birthday.
So as Meyer's latest group of juniors con-
template whether to stay at UF for a final sea-
son or take their chances in the draft, Meyer
can only hope they know what they're doing.
"I'm really opposed to the way it's done,"
Meyer said. "I've seen it, and I've really seen
guys get jacked around.
"I think there's a lot of advice given, and
I wish it was just the families, arid I wish it
was just very upright. I don't think it is all
the time."
Juniors Chad Jackson, Marcus Thomas,
Dee Webb, Earl Everett and DeShawn Wynn
all have a shot at hearing their names selected
at some point during April's seven-round
NFL Draft.
Quarterback 'Chris Leak has said in the
past he won't enter the draft, while injuries
to Andre Caldwell and Ray McDonald have
likely ended their chances at leaving UF this
season.
"If it comes back that they're first-round-
ers, you have to do what you have to do. If it
was my son, I'd say, 'Go be a first-rounder,'"
Meyer said. "If you're a [projected] fifth-.
rounder, fourth-rounder, I think that's when
you have to sit down and evaluate."
Of all the juniors, Jackson has the greatest
chance of winding up in the first or second
round.
A speedy receiver with big-play capabili-
ties, Jackson has the physical ability to make
it at the next level. Despite playing in a new
offense that Leak spent much of the year ad-
justing to, Jackson, the alligatorSports Player
of the Year, needs just seven receptions in UF's
bowl game to break the school's single-season
record of 88 set by Carlos Alvarez in 1969.
On Tuesday, Jackson said he still hadn't
submitted paperwork to the NFL to receive
his projected draft status, but he plans to do
so in the coming weeks and will decide soon
after whether to stay at UF.
With Caldwell return-
ing next year after break-
ing his leg early in the
season, and UF's young re-
ceivers maturing, Jackson
might find it difficult to
duplicate this year's suc-
cess on the field in terms
of individual stats.
Thomas "I've thought about
that, the guys coming back," Jackson said.
"[Caldwell's] coming back, he's going to be
a big part of the offense. Dallas [Baker] and
Jemalle [Cornelius] and hopefully a couple
of young guys will contribute to the team.
It's going to be hard [to put up those numbers
again]."
Meyer said there's no doubt Jackson would
benefit from one last season at UF.
"From spring practice until how he's one
of the most improved players. Could he use
another year? Absolutely," Meyer said. "If
he asks me [to help him decide], I'm going to
look into it for him."
Jackson said his projected status will play
an important role in his decision. Also, he's
convinced that he can excel at the NFL com-
bines that are used to evaluate a prospect's
abilities.
"I'm very confident about going to the
combines," he said. "I'll give them a good

By JUSTIN RICHARDS Alligato r Write r jrichards@alligator.org Same-sex partners of UF employees may soon be eligible for the same health benefits that their married colleagues enjoy. UF's highest governing body, the Board of Trustees, will vote Friday on extending university health benefits to domestic partners of employees, gay or straight, and their children. To qualify, unmarried couples must live together for a significant amount of time, typically at least six months, and be mutually responsible for one another's emotional and financial well-being, according to UF human resources. Tamara U F Cohen, Administration director of the UF O f f i c e of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Affairs, said the proposal could boost UF in its drive to be a Top 10 public university. "The university has one more possibility of attracting and retaining the best faculty and staff. And it certainly could make a difference in some individual people's lives," Cohen said. She said people have left the university because they could not get benefits for their partners. "There have been people who have had sick partners or people in their families who they've had to cover huge expenses for," Cohen said. UF would be the first public university in the state to offer these benefits, though some private Florida schools, including the University of Miami, already do.

N OFFICIALS BLAMED MONEY PROBLEMS FOR THE LACK. By DIANA MAZZELLA Alligator Writer dmazzella@aIIigator.org Students, faculty and staff endeavored Tuesday to explain why there is no director position for Asian Pacific Americans at UF and why it should exist. "In Student Affairs, money is the No. 1 issue," Associate Dean of Students Mary Kay Schneider said at a forum in the Reitz Union Ballroom, before a crowd of about 60. English professor Malini Schueller, who specializes in Asian American studies, said the justification that there is not enough money for the position of director of Asian Pacific American Affairs is not a valid excuse. "There's always money for stuff that needs to be done," she said. Fellow English professor Amy. Ongiri quickly concurred. "W hy does the money fall short when it comes to Asian Americans?" she asked. According to university records, about 7 percent of the UF student body is composed of Asian students. "We do try as best we can with the resources we have to support the Asian American students." Natalia Leal Graduate Assistant for Asian Pacific American Affairs Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Affairs Director Tamara Cohen, who was hired about a year ago, explained to the crowd how her position came about. Studies conducted to determine the climate on the UF campus toward the LGBT community were some steps toward it, she said. She advised attendees to have patience and continue to hold events like the panel. "Take full advantage of the great graduate assistant that you have now," Cohen said.

"I had been thinking about it for five or six years," she said. "I have a passion for students and wanted to make a difference. The easiest way for me to make a difference was to help teach students what I know: English." After seeing an ad for the new SFCC Educator Preparation Institute to help with obtaining teaching certification, Bright-Phillips said, "I sent an e-mail, and the rest is history." The institute began its program in October, and Bright-Phillips is one of its first 16 students. The program is designed for career changers already holding a bachelor's degree or for those graduating from universities who want to move into the K-12 teaching field, said Robin Edwards, institute coordinator. "This program is especially good for those graduating from UF with a degree like math or science and aren't really too sure what to do with it," Edwards said.

"She's going to talk about rescuing her uncle in North Korea and growing up Korean American, so there's some identity issues." Ranada said Lee dressed up like an effeminate man in China for more than six months for an upcoming documentary titled "Macho Like Me," and she suspected that her speech will include a discussion of gender roles. In 1969, a then 5-year-old Lee immigrated from South Korea to California with her parents.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 3 PUBLIC SAFETY Unknown man enters Lexington Crossing apartment By STEPHANIE RODRIGUEZ Alligator Writer srodriguez@alligator.org Tears ran from her eyes when she spoke about the burglar who stood at the foot of her bed at 5 a.m. Tuesday. The 19-year-old UF psychology major, who wished to remain anonymous for safety reasons, explained how seeing the unknown man in her Lexington Crossing apartment was the most terrifying moment of her life. "Who are you?" she asked the burglar. He said nothing. "Who let you in?" she asked. "Your roommate let me in," the burglar She said she felt paralyzed and confused as the tall, dark figure aimed a flashlight in her eyes, preventing her from seeing his face. She did the first thing that came to her mind and grabbed the bat beside her bed and threatened him to get out of her room. As she ran at him with the bat, the man ran out of her room and out of the apartment located in Phase I, Building D of the complex. "I don't know how he got in," she said. "We locked the door before we went to sleep." There were no noticeable signs of a breakin. The man stole the electronic key to her roommate's car that was hanging on a hook near the kitchen, but he left the actual car key on the floor. The roommate noticed the keys were missing when the police arrived, and later discovered her car had been rummaged through. The roommate didn't notice anything taken from her car. "I think he broke into my roommate's car before he entered my room," the student said. She said she thinks the burglar was a black man between 5'11" to 6' tall who wore long basketball shorts and a long-sleeve sweater. Neighbor Raymond Sierra said a man with a similar description came by his apartment at 10 p.m. Saturday trying to sell him cleaning solution. "It looked like Kool-Aid in a bottle," Sierra said. "He kept insisting on coming into my apartment and cleaning my rug." Sierra said that the man insisted the money he was trying to collect was to keep kids off the streets. "He looked suspicious," Sierra said. "It looked like he was trying to look around the apartment, as if he wanted something from inside." The student felt the same as Sierra, and she said the man appeared to be searching for something specific because he did not steal anything of major value. "The weird thing is that he stole my roommate's key padlock and not the key to her car," she said. She said police took fingerprints on the car and on the door the apartment. Gainesville Police spokesman Keith Kameg had no comment on the incidents. Recycling program to educate, expand to more dorms UF PRESIDENT MADE NOWASTE CAMPUS A PRIORITY. By ERIN EHRLICH Alligator Contributing Writer Recycling is slowly becoming a front-bumer activity around UF and within the dormitories, after taking a backseat to other issues for many years. Albert Krause, the solid waste coordinator for UP, said that recycling has had a "strong presence" on campus since about 1989, but has become a dominant priority with the current administration. "The president (Bemie Machen) is making sustainability and recycling-related issues a matter of personal concern," he said. Krause emphasized that UF's policy change is designed to get officials at every level involved in encouraging student participation. "There's no recycling Gestapo," he said. "Police aren't authorized to write tickets, and that will remain. [But] .activity heads are going to be held somewhat accountable, so that I can rat them out." The change's catalyst was Machen's Oct. 26 public announcement pledging to eliminate all waste from UF by 2015. Several studentand faculty-run organizations, such as the Environmental Action Group, the Housing Recycling Committee and the Physical Plant Division, are working together to reorganize the university's recycling system. Environmental Action Group Vice President Jessica Ducey said her group has worked with the Student Senate on a bill for new recycling bins and student education. "Contamination is a huge problem with bins," Ducey said. "That's a big problem that is more on EAG's side of educating students and teaching people what you On can and can't recycle." CaMPuS Contaminants such as bottle caps, pizza boxes and food wrappers are often included with otherwise recyclable materials. Krause said it is a waste of time to try to remove, for example, pizza grease from paper products. Sharon Blansett, chair of the Housing Recycling Committee, cited an event last month when two cardboard recycling receptacles were placed in front of the tables promoting recycling awareness. The receptacles bore labels indicating that they were for paper only. But when food was given out at the fair, students tossed their leftover food and trash in the bins. "There were plenty of garbage bins out there as they served lunch," she said. "But those just happened to be more convenient as somebody walked by." The Conunittee has been actively recycling since the early 1990s, educating residents and promoting participation. "Some of the things we've done based on student input and what they say they want to do is expanded from our blue-bin programs," Blansett said. All family housing, suites and apartment-style dorms have blue 'recycling bins, and the committee is working to spread them to standard dormitories, starting with Graham this Fall and Yulee in the Spring. The committee aims to make bins more aesthetically pleasing, as well as more accessible to dorm residents. Ducey said that housing recycling campaigns have been very influential. "Working in the dorms is great because you get the vast majority of freshmen when they're living there," she said. Groups becoming more involved in recycling hope to help students realize that recycling on campus is not only easy but makes a difference. "President Machen had a lot of other things to do when he first arrived," Krause said. "He's put out a lot of fires, and now it's time to put this one on the burner."

4, ALLIGATOR N WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2005 SG ups newspapers By LYNDSEY LEWIS Alligator Writer Student Senate chose to feed students' hunger for national news by passing a bill to continue paying for The New York Times and USA Today Readership Program on Tuesday. The bill, which allocates $45,000 of Student Goverrment reserve money for the newspapers, will extend the 3year-old readership program and add an additional 78 papers a day to the 765 already available. Budget and Appropriations Committee Chairman Ryan Mosley, who sponsored the bill along with his committee and three other senators, emphasized the newspapers' popularity among students. "The reason this has been brought forth to the budget meeting is there has been kind of an outcry from the student body for this information," he said. Although the bill ultimately passed Senate by an overwhelming majority, some senators expressed concern regarding the program's importance, given upcoming budget cuts. Sen. Pedro Morales said the funding of free papers should not continue because both of the newspapers are available online for free. "If people can spend two hours browsing the Facebook, they can spend a few minutes reading an article in The New York Times online," he said. However, other senators said it would be unfair to discontinue a program that has proven to be so popular among students. "It's such a valuable service. Everyone uses it," Sen. Jason Lutin said. "Let [students] see what's going on in the nation and the world." Morales said Student that as a teaching Gover'Ielt assistant, he frequently observes students working on crossword puzzles in class, which he used as an argument against the program. "If crosswords are your only problem, you might as well outlaw Campus Talk and the Alligator as well," Sen. Josh Weiss responded.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2005 3 ALLIGATOR, 5 1Students beat domestic violence with cel phones PHONES CAN BE DONATED THROUGH DEC. 16. By CHERYL CLARKE Alligator Contributing Writer You talk on it for hours at a time. You use it to text message your friends. Now you can use it to help end domestic violence. UF's Tau Beta Pi engineering honor society teamed up with GRC Wireless Recycling's Shelter Alliance program to donate used cellular phones to Peaceful Paths, a domestic abuse network that helps domestic violence survivors in Alachua County. Elif Akcali, one of the society's faculty advisers, said she found out about GRC last year and was interested in its recycling program as a service project for the society. She said she was drawn to the recyling program's environmental and social impacts in donating used phones. Tau Beta Pi President Frank Hartman said this project allows students the chance to lend a helping hand to the Gainesville community without a lot of time or obligation. The society has received about Luanne Dietz/ Aligator Engineering honors fraternity Tau Beta Pi collects used cell phones as a service project to raise money for Peaceful Paths, an Alachua County domestic abuse network. 40 phones, but Akcali is hoping for at least 100. Once Tau Beta Pi collects the phones, it will ship them to GRC. GRC and Shelter Alliance will then write a check for the honor society to Peaceful Paths. "One phone could be worth up to $30 if it's a new phone," said Sonya Tucker Sidberry, the program manager at Shelter Alliance. "A brand new phone could be worth $45." Sidberry said the price of each phone varies by its make and I GENERAL NUTRITION CENTERS I -i FREE Multi Vitamin w/ $30 purchase a I Only available a0 Butler Plam location, next to Albersons.

Outdated and damaged phones are not worth anything, but Shelter Alliance will provide 50 cents for these phones anyway, she said. The group has collected more than 500,000 phones nationally this year, Sidberry said. She added that she felt Tau Beta Pi and the other organizations involved are not only recycling, but also donating to a good cause. "What the shelter was not able to do before, they are able to do now," she said. "They need money for programs down to toiletries." Sidberry said the money Peaceful Paths will receive can be used to help the women in the shelter directly. Students can donate their cellular phones in Akcali's office in rooms 300 and 302 at Weil Hall. Akcali said she is trying to reserve a table at the Reitz Union Colonnade next week to provide a more visible area for people to donate their phones. The deadline for donating is Dec. 16. "We are the first Tau Beta Pi chapter established, and we have a lot of visibility at the national level," Akcali said.

6, ALLIGATOR M WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2005 Editcria. Adverse policy UF officials set bad example by firing student Secrecy should never be the favored rule of a university. It is an institution of knowledge, where students and faculty should be encouraged to talk freely rather than forced to tread lightly. But UF seems to be run by fear and hesitation. Opinions are taboo. Meetings are private. Records are sealed. And in Student Goverrunent, every word uttered is for political gain, and every scrap of truth is twisted into a punishable offense. UF's administration is silent on many fronts; SG is prolific in rumors. When the two combine, a confusing and oppressive result emerges. Last week, Susan Henriques was fired from the SG Finance Office because she told the Alligator that Student Body Treasurer Lindsay Cosimi "should have caught" a violation of Student Body Statutes sooner. The Spanish American Law Students Association used student money to partially fund a pig roast. The party was held at a private residence -a violation of statutes. But Cosimi didn't report the problem until after the funds were spent, ostensibly because she was tryingto smear SALSA President and student Sen. Jared Hernandez. Hernandez is rumored to be running for student body president next Fall. Sufficiently confused? It's the perfect example of convoluted SG politics. We haven't seen such underhanded attempts since high school. All these blatant stabs at political gain went unnoticed and unpunished. But when Henriques uttered the words everyone knew, she lost her job. And no one denies that she excelled in that position. Henriques was fired because of a contract that stated she couldn't comment on behalf of the SG Finance Office. However, the Alligator article clearly explains that Henriques based her opinion on a personal observation at a Student Senate meeting. The contract is not unique within UF administration. Several offices lay out strict rules about who can talk to the press out of fear of misrepresentation. We agree that all employees should not be able to speak for their departments. However, threatening anyone who states his or her personal opinion is counterproductive to a learning environment. Do UF officials trust their employees at all? Of course, Henriques might have had a motive for outing Cosimi's ineptitude. She ran and lost against Cosimi in the Spring elections for treasurer. She still was right, and her opinion still had merit. The SG Finance Office should be niore focused on the potential conflict of interest. Henriques was working at the office when she served as an SG senator over the Summer. She was the Impact Party's treasurer in the Fall. She's entrenched in SG politics, and yet she helps with the checks and balances of the SG system. It's disturbing that officials are more concerned with an honest comment than with her political connections. We aren't too worried about either, but we can see the irrationality of condemning one and not the other. SG senators and executives will always bicker through the media, but UF officials shouldn't get involved in the fight. As our mentors, they should encourage opinions and involvement. We expect childish and paranoid behavior from SG; we need respect and education from our superiors. tiindepndent flaida allgato,-ar Mike Gimignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR Etmily Yehle OPINIONS EDITOR Torn Durrenberger, Scott Gilton, Andrew Meyer EDITORIAL BOARD The Aligator encourages comments from readers,.

Oin ions ALLIGATOR www.aI ligator.org/opinions uCll oumri Ideals of Israeli democracy admirable T he thing about democracy is that it can be really inconvenient. The political aims of ambitious men often cannot wait for a tranquil environment, so they rise to the fore in times of extraordinary danger. The ambitious don't wait for peace. Fortunately, after enough time spent in a democratic system, the citizenry can learn to accept, and at times even enjoy, the preening of politicians. So while there's no doubt that most Israelis were surprised when Prime Minister Ariel Sharon abandoned the Likud Party to form a new, more centrist Kadima Party, they did what they always do: notice the presence of new facts, strive to understand them and eventually accept them. And when the Israeli Labour Party chose the Moroccanborn Amir Peretz over longtime statesman Shimon Peres as its leader, well, that was just another new addition to the ever-shifting world of Israeli politics. The rationales and implications of all these changes are of great concern'to the Israelis, but for those of us looking in from the outside, the details are, if not irrelevant, somewhat tangential to the main curiosity. If America is considered a young country at 229 years old, what does that make Israel's democracy, bofn only in 1949? And what does it say about the Israeli electorate? In the midst of extraordinary new developments in a decadeslong struggle for their country's very existence, they happily go to the polls and vote to dramatically overhaul the composition of their government. It says that Israelis, surrounded by hostile tyrannies, have embraced with vigor the raucous saga of democratic governance. While fighting a constant battle for survival, Israelis quickly have come to realize that the differences inherent in humanity make a vital and robust political system. Discussion is good. Debate is good. Dissent is good. What the Bush administration cannot accept, the Israelis understand almost instinctively. Israel's democracy is a perfect illustration of the age-old idea that inner family squabbling does Andrew Bare nothing to diminish the family's The Bare Truth core strength. There is no lack of letterealligateor.erg passionate disagreement within the Israeli electorate; their politicians fight and claw and scrape for every bit of power and influence they can reach, just as politicians in every democracy do. Before Sharon's decision, the Israeli Knesset sat representatives from 14 different parties. Israel's complicated electoral system ensures that a massive range of ideas and philosophies are represented in the goverrrtent. Israeli politics are quarrelsome and often bitter; such is often the case when the issues discussed are matters of national survival. And yet these same men and women who squabble with such tenacity one moment join together in indivisible solidarity the very instant the safety and well-being of the Israeli people are threatened. The ability to recognize that disagreement in no way equates with disloyalty is an indispensable element of any healthy democracy. Perhaps the necessity of accepting any willing pair of hands in May 1948 inculcated to Israel the irrationality of questioning the loyalty of citizens with different views. In March of next year, Israel will hold elections for parliamentary representatives. It's probably not wise to speculate on the election results. It is, however, entirely safe to state that the elections will be models of efficiency and professionalism, resulting in a legitimate government that makes decisions with which not all Israelis will agree. But it will result in a, government all Israelis will accept. Andrew Bare is a journalism senior. His colunt appears on Wednesday. The views expressed here are not necessarily those of the Alligator.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 7 Guest Column Civil War cause proven wrong Several letters from obscure places have been written about how Andrew Bare is an idiot because this nation was actually formed by people that connitted treason. They say slavery wasn't the only issue involved in the Confederate secession from the Union (despite no discussion of slavery in Bare's coluumn). They declare that when the Confederate flag is flown, it is more out of Southern pride or unity than in honor of the Confederacy. They say that the United States today is different from the United States of the 1800s, so it's more understandable for the South to secede. And they are absolutely right except in their assertion that Bare is an idiot. However, there are some problems with their arguments. I would say the problem with honoring the Confederate flag today is not that it honors people who committed treason, but rather because today is a different time than the Civil War days. We now realize slavery is wrong, and seceding was not the way to go* So why still honor the wrong decision? This brings me back to the slavery issue. Obviously, slavery was not the only, and not even the-biggest, issue. But guess what? The desire to spread Aryan "superiority" was not the only, or even the biggest, reason Hitler invaded other countries at the beginning of Jason Queen World War II. Speaking Out Odd. I still would say that such a desire is morally wrong and offensive by itself, without taking into consideration the events that transpired. Of course, it's understood that the two are different in scale, but it's the same idea. Yes, some blacks did fight for the Confederate army and most started fighting toward the end of the war. Wouldn't you say the order of events would indicate that the South had no other choice but to enlist their help? The argument is made that some Northerners were pro-slavery and some Southerners were anti-slavery. No kidding. This is the case with any issue at any historical time period. History is a study of trends, not outliers. Slavery is the issue that primarily makes the Confederate secession nothing to be honored, despite its location on the priority tree in the Civil War era. Remember the flag and what it stands for and learn from it. Be proud of being from the South if you want. You can even do so by flying your Dixie flag. But don't be surprised if random people who walk by judge you for it. That's your decision. Jason Qoeen is an engineering sophomore. Letters to the Editor Sex advice validates UF education Iam a 34-year-old alumnus who occasionally reads the Alligator online. On Tuesday, I read the following life-changing quote in an article about sex educator Jay Friedman: "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." This is the moment where the tuition money I spent at UF pays for itself. If I ever had any doubts before, they are settled. Now I know my degree at UF was meaningful. I can use this knowledge for the rest of my life. Thank you. a E E Confederates traitors tc Founding Fathers traito I am amazed at th printed over the last fe unequivocally assert the flag has nothing to do iw or treason, and that the soldiers of the Confederate army were patriots. After all, the letters state that if the Confederate soldiers were traitors, then so were George Washington and Thomas Jefferson because they rebelled against the British. That's correct. Washington and Jefferson were rebels and traitors to the British crown. They were American patriots. The Confederate army consisted of patriots of the Confederate States of America. They committed treason and rebellion against the United States. As the far as the Confederate states are concerned, they're heroes. As far Joe Giordano as the United States is concerned, UF alumnus they're rebels and traitors. "Traitor," "rebellion" and "patriot" are relative and factual terms.

8, ALLIGATOR U WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2005 Prof urges Congo aid By STEPHANIE ROSENBLATT Alligator Writer srosenblatt@alIigator.org When Josephine Badinga traveled back to Kisangani in the Democratic Republic of the Congo after living 16 years in the United States, she could not believe her eyes. "Every little bit is going to have a massive effect because they have nothing. Charles Kibert Rinker School of Building Construction professor The streets of Kisangani were almost deserted. The few cars on the streets belonged to United Nations workers and ex-military personnel. When Badinga asked Congo citizens what -happened, she said they replied, "This is what the Rwandan and Ugandan forces did to us. We have nothing." Since 1994, the Congo, Rwanda and Uganda have been midred in a war for resources that has claimed the lives of more than 4 million people, the largest international conflict since World War E. Badinga, a UF associate professor, spoke to about fifteen students Tuesday, proposing to work with UF students to improve schooling in the Congo. "This may sound like just a story, but it's true." Badinga said. "Some schools are made of trees and mud with palm fronds as a roof." When Badinga, 46, returned to Kisangani, all of the teachers were on strike because they had not received their salary of $10 a month in five or six months. But now, Badinga said teachers want to return teaching because they know the students need it. "What we wanted to do at first was build a school, but building a school in an area with so much red tape is difficult," Badinga said. "Right now, what we're trying to do is gather supplies, especially desks." Badinga contacted Charles Kibert, a professor in the Rinker School of Building Construction trying to organize a system to send the school supplies to the Congo. "Every little bit is going to have a massive effect because they have nothing," Kibert said. "It is our moral responsibility to do something about this." Human Rights Awareness on Campus, a UP student organization that has been focusing on the genocide in Darfur, Sudan, is considering spearheading the project at UF to include students in the creation of a sustainable school in the Congo. Josephine Badinga uses her laptop to locate on a map the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where she was born and raised. Badinga spoke at a Human Rights Awareness on Campus meeting Tuesday night about the conditions in the country as part of their AIDS Awareness Week activities. "We're going to try to raise funds for the project, but our intention is more along the lines of having people donate pens, pencils, notebooks and backpacks because the most urgent need is the basic items 'for schooling," said Nikolas Wolfe, president of HIRAC. Wolfe said that without education, there's no hope for peaceful future in the Congo. "We need an entire generation who grows up with a stable education system and less violence and war surrounding them," Wolfe said. "Then you can start working toward peace and reconciliation in the Congo." Students wanting to get involved in the project can contact Badinga at lbadinga@ufl.edu. Students: grad assistant not enough for university "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" DIRECTOR ,from page 1 Graduate Assistant for Asian Pacific American Affairs Natalia Leal said she is working on resources she hopes future staff will be able to build on, including a Web site and new student guide. Though her position has been budgeted for 20 hours a week, she puts in more time than that, she said. "We do try as best we can with the resources we have to support the Asian American students," Leal said. However, a director could do things that students can't, Asian American Student Union President Sandy Chiu said. A staff director could lobby for curriculum to faculty and influence programs like Preview and the First Year Florida class. "[Asian Pacifc American] issues aren't strictly for APA students or people," said South Asian American Student Alliance President Preeti Sharma. Ongiri praised the Asian American Kaleidoscope Month events held this month; but said there was no assurance that the month's quality would be sustained without a director position. Students should be using every means they can to put forward this issue, she said. Cohen suggested petitioning would keep the issue visible to the student body. The panel also discussed the newly created position of director of Multicultural and Diversity Affairs. Schneider said about 25 percent of that person's time will be dedicated to Asian American students. Program will include in-classroom experience of teaching local schoolchildren EDUCATOR, from page 1 outside of a university. Students must be interviewed before they are entered into the program" to make sure that they really want to teach," Edwards said. "Listen to your heart," Bright-Phillips said. "If you have a heart for teaching, you owe it to yourself to try out.this program. I don't think you'll be disappointed." The entire 21-credit-hour equivalent course costs about $1,350. "Plus, you get to use Pell grants if you are eligible because these are courses for teachers," Edwards said. Edwards said she believes that the curriculum has pulled the "meat" out of all other college courses related to education and incorporated it in the institute. Edwards taught while she was earning a master's degree at UF. "I would sit in class and hear the teachers talk about what would happen in a classroom, and I would be like, 'That's not how it really works,"' Edwards said. "The professors hadn't been in the classroom environment for almost 20 years." To ensure that wouldn't happen at the institute, she said the institute's professors currently teach in Alachua County schools. "All the curriculum is based on what is happening in the school system today," Edwards said. Students are required to participate in two separate field experiences with 15 hours each, where they will teach children in the local schools. The institute will have an open information session Thursday from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in Building S, Room 29, for people interested in the program. "This is an opportunity to see if teaching is your niche," Bright-Phillips said. As Florida heads toward a demand for almost 30,000 teachers, Bright-Phillips said she feels there should be more passionate teachers in the school system. "If a student senses you're passionate, they'll get the message you are trying to get across."

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 9 Drversi gmet iover onl Sunlass E SOUTH FLORIDA NATIVES HAVE SAVED MONEY ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE. By ANTONIO GONZALEZ Alligator Contributing Writer Some students saved money traveling home Thanksgiving weekend by exposing a flaw in the Florida Turnpike toll system. The trick involves using a SunPass transponder, which transmits a radio signal to sensors mounted in toll lanes, and the ticket system used by driverswho do not have a SunPass. Drivers attempt to trick the transponder from letting it know when their -t cars entered the Turnpike so they are charged less. A 20-year-old UF business major, who requested to remain anonymous to avoid legal consequences, said he uses this trick every time he drives to his Fort Lauderdale home. "It's just my way of beating the system," he said. "It takes enough money from me as it is." SunPass is the Florida Department of Transportation's Prepaid Toll Program. SunPass can be used on Florida's toll roads and most toll bridges. Photo Illustration by Tricia Coyne Aligator Staff The student said the best Some students traveling on the Florida Turnpike have been known to example of the SunPass trick is take advantage of a flaw within the SunPass transponder system. used between the Three Lakes Toll Plaza, about 30 miles south of Orlando, and the Lantana Toll Plaza in Palm Beach County. Normally, as a person drives through a SunPass lane, a fee is deducted from his or her prepaid account corresponding to where one enters the turnpike. The student said on his way to Fort Lauderdale, instead of driving through the SunPass lane at Three Lakes, he hides his SunPass, goes through a regular lane and gets a ticket. "It is a crime when people do this. And above all, it is morally wrong." Chad Huff Spokesman for the Florida Department of Transportation When he arrives at the Lantana toll plaza, instead of going through a regular lane and showing his ticket where a toll collector would charge the appropriate fare, he goes through the SunPass lane and it only charges him for the exit before the toll plaza. If done correctly, the SunPass trick can save more than $20 on a round-trip drive from Gainesville to Fort Lauderdale, he said. According to a ticket from Three Lakes, a drive from Three Lakes to Lantana on the Turnpike would cost a regular, two-axle vehicle $13.70. But with the, SunPass trick, the charge would only be $1.30. The student verified this on his last bill. Chad Huff, spokesman for the Florida Department of Transportation, said the department is aware of the gap in its system. He said it was a problem for a while, but newer models of the SunPass and updated tollplaza sensors have resolved the issue. Huff said the newer updates in SunPass technology should charge a person for the entire length of the turnpike if he or she tries to cheat the system. He said when the computer does not recognize where a driver entered the turnpike, it will charge him or her like it would a person who lost a ticket, the full price of the turnpike. Huff noted that in certain instances a person might still be able to expose the flaw, only because every now and then the computers make a mistake. "It is a crime when people do this," Huff said. "And above all, it is morally wrong." The student said all his friends and family use it, and he tells people about it every chance he gets. "It's a crime what I have to pay to get home on the turnpike," he said. "If it works, why not do it?" 'Am dderal usrsw un the ris mung u versity students By ASHTON GROSZ Alligator Writer agroszcalligator.org Illegalperformance-enhancing drugs aren't just for professional athletes -some students rely on their own form of dangerous pills. -Adderall, a prescription amphetamine recommended for patients with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, has become increasingly sought by university students as a study aid for its ability to enhance concentration. And for UF students preparing for the end of the Fall semester and exams, many are either unaware of, or unconcerned with, the negative health effects of prescription stimulants. Adderall causes potential long-term health damage when misused by obtaining it illegally from friends or dealers with prescriptions. Previously approved as a diet pill before it was considered too addictive for such use, Adderall has been prescribed by psychiatrists and physicians for the last 15 to 20 years strictly to ADHD patients in order to improve their focus, said UF professor of pharmacy Paul L. Doering. Erik J. Gooch, psychiatrist and chief resident at the UF Student Health Care Center, said the number of Adderall prescriptions increased by 15 percent from 2000 to 2001 -a figure he called "significant." "I think [ADHD] is overdiagnosed, and Adderall is being over-prescribed because doctors are misdiagnosing," Gooch said. In order to keep Adderall out of the wrong hands, Gooch requires self-diagnosed ADHD patients to undergo a rigorous series of neuropsychological tests lasting three to four hours. Patients are put in situations where they must pay attention for long periods of time. The purpose of these tests is to accurately diagnose ADHD and discourage the 20 percent of students Gooch suspects are unaffected by ADHD and schedule an appointment simply to obtain an Adderall prescription. "Between the academic pressures of school and the desire to party, it's a drug that's highly sought out," he said. Those without ADHD who take Adderall -are more likely to experience panStudent ic attacks as a result of increased Life blood pressure, adrenaline released in the brain and nervous system stimulation. "The real concern I have is the psychological dependence," Doering said. "The stuff works so well, there's a temptation to continue to depend on it to study." In addition to panic attacks, Gooch said non-prescribed users taking Adderall recreationally risk unwanted side effects such as stroke, chronic depression and heart arythinia as a result of disturbances in the heart's electrical signals. Continued use evenaffects brain chemistry and can cause significant damage over time. "It basically 'eats up' your bran 'here memory is stored," Gooch said. University Police officer Darren Sanders said students' non-prescribed Adderall use -especially around exam week -is something UPD is aware of but has difficulty detecting. Between himself and officer Holly Thomas, they have 20 years of police service and have never dealt with a case involving the drug on campus. "Have we talked to a student under the influence and didn't know it? Maybe," Sanders said. Possession of a prescription drug without a prescription is a felony offense, he said. "If you're in that level of addiction, we both know where you're going," he said. Partner benefits already in place at 295 colleges nationwide, including Ivy League T RUSTEES, from page 1 The universities of Michigan, Washington and Colorado, the California State University system and all eight Ivy League universities offer domestic partner benefits to their employees. According to gay and lesbian civil rights group Human Rights Campaign, 295 colleges nationwide provide the benefits. "It's not coming up now as a result of any specific advocacy by any specific group. It's coming up because in order to be in the Top 10, they need to be competitive with other top. universities," Cohen said. University of Minnesota Benefit Specialist Mayrinda Phimmavong said her university has provided benefits to same-sex partners for years. She said the number of UM faculty has grown since. ."It has increased the faculty participation and recruitment at the university," she said. UF Vice President for Human Resources Kyle Cavanaugh wrote in an e-mail that the added insurance coverage will cost UF between $500,000 and $1 million. His office has stated that typically less than 1 percent of employees take advantage of domestic-partner benefits. The insurance offered to unmarried partners is still more limited than what spouses receive. The domestic-partner benefits are provided by a Health Maintenance Organizaion, or HMO, which is more limited in its coverage than the Preferred Provider Organization that supports married partners. Cohen said there is a discrepancy only because few providers approached UF due to the small sliver of potential clientele. UF Student Body President Joe Goldberg, who serves on the Board of Trustees, declined comment on the issue's merit. But he said the proposal may affect the funding UF receives from the Florida Legislature. "There are several legislators who have 'voiced their concerns with domestic-partner benefits," he said. Indeed, when UF created Cohen's Office of LGBT Affairs in February, state Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, spoke out. "It makes it difficult for me to come up here and support giving more taxpayer dollars to institutions with these kinds of values," he said at the time. Speaking on domestic partner benefits in March, Baxley said: "Some of these people have 300 partners in their lifetime, and by and large, these are not monogamous relationships .How many partners do you want to have to cover?" But Cohen said the benefits are not a political issue. "It's not about recognizing a relationship the state doesn't recognize," she said. "It's about treating all employees equally."

18jALLIGATOR U WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2005 Injury could bench Kubin for '06 By TIM CASEY Alligator Staff Writer tcasey@aligator.org Season-ending arm injuries seem to have become contagious on the UF baseball team. Well, at least in one Museum Walk apartment. Sophomore outfielder/ designated hitter Jared Kubin will join his roommate, sophomore pitcher Stephen Locke, in rehabilitation after Kubin undergoes surgery to repair a tom labrum in his right shoulder. Kubin will have surgery in mid-December near his hometown of Oakton, Va., and could miss the 2006 season, he said. Locke underwent Tommy John surgery in September and won't play this year. "I played with it hurt all summer," Kubin Kubin said. "It wasn't until I came back [to Gainesville] that I found out it was torn." Last season at UF, Kubin batted .292 over 45 games, with 18 RBIs and two home runs in 106 at-bats. This year he was in competition for the starting left field job, with Gavin Dickey -likely moving to center field to replace Jeff Corsaletti. "I was working really hard all summer and fall trying to earn that left field spot," Kubin said. "All I know is I'll be able to swing a bat again in 2 to 3 months." Now, the starting left field job will likely go to a newcomer -there are several talented transfers and freshmen on the team. SEE BASEBALL, PAGE 19 Kim Klement/ Alligator Staff Jared Kubin slides into second base during UF's win against Notre Dame on June 5. Kubin dislocated his right shoulder on the play. A lingering shoulder injury could sideline him this year. Peck to face former Gators in ha r ott e By NICK ZACCARDI Alligator Writer Coach Carolyn Peck might have reservations about taking the Gators to Charlotte, because some of her players might not come back. Two former UF players, Amanda Butler and Kelly Stevenson, have already defected to Charlotte. Butler, who played at UF from 1990-94 and spent the next two seasons as an assistant under Carol Ross, is the first-year head coach for the 49ers, who host UF tonight at 5:30 p.m. She is the first former Gator to be the head coach of a Division I basketball program. "I'm happy to see her become a head coach," Peck said. "She's done a great job with that program." Butler returned to Gainesville as an assistant at Charlotte last season, when UF beat the 49ers 86-72 to take the State Farm Classic championship. She has been looking forward to getting another shot at her alma mater, and now she has the home-court advantage. "It was really nice until game time [last year]," Butler said. "We had a performance that was sub par .Anytime you have a quality opponent like Florida on your home court, you want to play well." Stevenson, a guard from 2002-04, works behind the scenes as the director of basketball operations. Butler said that Stevenson can't give any on-court coaching because of NCAA regulations. Instead, Stevenson handles the 49ers' travel plans and other off-court preparations. Though Butler and Stevenson never coached with Peck, their team resembles the Gators. "When you look at our stats, we are very similar," Peck said. "They are led in scoring by a guard and then followed by two B -d post players We are led in scoring by [guard] Sha Brooks and then [forwards] Dalila Eshe and Brittany Davis. "They are a full-court team as well defensively, so I think it will be a battle of the defenses. I think the keys for us are that we've got to rebound the basketball, and we have to take care of the ball." FRESHMAN EARNS RECOGNITION: Brooks was named the Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week on Monday "I think a lot of people focus on Sha's offense," Peck said. "What I like about Sha is that she has great instinct defensively." Against in-state rivals Florida State and Stetson, Brooks averaged 16.5 points and five assists per game. She is the only Gator who has scored in double figures in every game this season. 'Tis the season to get HIPP for the holidays!

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 19 Thomas says he will return next season; Harvey suspended for half GATORS, from page 20 :ime, and I'm very confident about ,vhat I can do down there." Thomas -a defensive tarcle hat was one of the UP's top players )n defense this season -said he urned in his paperwork but won't be entering the draft. "I'm not going anywhere," Thomas said. "Most likely, I already know [I won't be drafted] in the first round. I want to be that top-10-type [pick] so I'll have to wait until next year." HARVEY SUSPENDED: Redshirt freshman defensive end Derrick Harvey -who was ejected from Saturday's game for fighting with Florida State offensive lineman Cornelius Lewis -will miss the first half of UF's bowl game. Meyer said he knows that Harvey didn't initiate the fight, but that doesn't matter. "Does that make it right? No. He's as bad as the guy that threw the first one," Meyer said. "There was a game around here a year, ago [against Tennessee] where [the Gators] lost because [Dallas Baker] took a second swing and [it resulted] in a 15-yard penalty. "That's going to hurt us because we were counting on Derrick Harvey to get us ready, and he was going to play more in that game. GATORS RETURN TO FIELD: While most teams are traditionally given time off between their final regular-season game and bowl practice, Meyer had his team back on the field Tuesday. The early practices are mainly to keep the team in shape and to help the younger players develop. injuries continue to pile for UF, may hamper national runner-up Gators' seasor-n BASEBALL, from page 18 [his is another blow for last year's national unner-up UF team. While the Gators are still >rojected to be one of the top teams in the naion, they have already lost ace pitcher Alan lorne and shortstop Justin Tordi to the pros in addition to the Kubin and Locke injuries. UF coach Pat McMahon said Kubin's injury lid not occur when he dislocated the shoulder luring the regional playoffs last season. "This was an older injury he developed in -igh school," McMahon said. "It's related to :Irowing. It recurred in the summer." Despite being named MVP of the Atlantic baseball Confederation Collegiate League All-Star Game in Lakewood, N.J., on July 25, Kubin said he couldn't throw all summer. "I couldn't raise my arm high enough," he said. He batted .423 for the Toms River Black Sox during 26 at-bats in nine games, hitting two home runs and driving in 11 RBIs. During fall team practices, Kubin would flip any balls he caught to the center fielder to throw back to the infield to avoid any strain on his shoulder. "He wasn't at full-speed in the fall, so we had to make adjustments to try to work through it with our training staff." Baseball athletic trainer John Barrett worked with Kubin to monitor the injury and prevent further strain. "They did a great job of rehabbing it," Kubin said. "JB is great. I originally thought it was tendonitis. This type of injury is common for baseball players." Kubin's father, Larry Kubin, played six seasons in the NFL as a linebacker. Jared has listened to advice from the former professional athlete. "He told me to use it as a positive, which I'm trying to do," Kubin said. "I'm really going to try to expand my knowledge of the mental aspects of the game." McMahon said that while the injury is a setback for Kubin and the Gators, it is also an opportunity for another player to replace the slugger's bat in the lineup. "It's a tough injury for Jared and the ballclub," McMahon said. "Someone will have to step up to fill his role." He said the decision to operate was tough. "He could still hit this fall and could have gone all season as a DH, but it limits what we can do as a team," McMahon said. "Jared's worked his best to get through it, but the pain and limited mobility were still there. The right thing to do at this point is to let the doctors take care of it." Kubin has accepted the circumstances but said he will miss being on the field. "I honestly feel that in the long run, this is part of God's plan," Kubin said. "What will hurt me the most is not being out there with the team. I'd do anything for my coaches and teammates."

NFL Draft may affect UF By ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff Writer aabramson@alligator.org Urban Meyer's seen it before -a talented but developing redshirt sophomore or junior is "promised" by all sorts of outsiders that he will be a first, second or third-round draft pick in the NFL, only to wind up out of football before his 21st birthday. So as Meyer's latest group of juniors contemplate whether to stay at UF for a final season or take their chances in the draft, Meyer can only hope they know what they're doing. "I'm really opposed to the way it's done," Meyer said. "I've seen it, and I've really seen guys get jacked around. "I think there's a lot of advice given, and I wish it was just the families, arid I wish it was just very upright. I don't think it is all the time." Juniors Chad Jackson, Marcus Thomas, Dee Webb, Earl Everett and DeShawn Wynn all have a shot at hearing their names selected at some point during April's seven-round NFL Draft. Quarterback Chris Leak has said in the past he won't enter the draft, while injuries to Andre Caldwell and Ray McDonald have likely ended their chances at leaving UF this season. "If it comes back that they're first-rounders, you have to do what you have to do. If it was my son, I'd say, 'Go be a first-rounder,"' Meyer said. "If you're a [projected] fifthrounder, fourth-rounder, I think that's when you have to sit down and evaluate." e Lf all the juniors, Jackson has the greatest chance of winding up in the first or second round. A speedy receiver with big-play capabilities, Jackson has the physical ability to make it at the next level. Despite playing in a new offense that Leak spent much of the year adjusting to, Jackson, the alligatorSports Player of the Year, needs just seven receptions in UF's bowl game to break the school's single-season record of 88 set by Carlos Alvarez in 1969. On Tuesday, Jackson said he still hadn't submitted paperwork to the NFL to receive his projected draft status, but he plans to do so in the coming weeks and will decide soon after whether to stay at UP. With Caldwell returning next year after breaking his leg early in the season, and UF's young receivers maturing, Jackson might find it difficult to duplicate this year's success on the field in tenns of individual stats. Thomas "I've thought about that, the guys coming back," Jackson said. "[Caldwell's] coming back, he's going to be a big part of the offense. Dallas [Baker] and Jemalle [Cornelius] and hopefully a couple of young guys will contribute to the team. It's going to be hard [to put up those numbers again]." Meyer said there's no doubtJackson would benefit from one last season at UP. "From spring practice until now he's one of the most improved players. Could he use another year? Absolutely," Meyer said. "If he asks me [to help him decide], I'm going to look into it for him." Jackson said his projected status will play an important role in his decision. Also, he's convinced that he can excel at the NFL combines that are used to evaluate a prospect's abilities. "I'm very confident about going to the combines," he said. "I'll give them a good SEE GATORS, PAGE 19 Wide receiver and alligatorSports Player of the Year Chad Jackson will make a deci sion on whether or not to enter the NFL Draft in coming weeks. After Fulmer's apology, Vols fans wish they received spain instead ttention Vols fans, you've got mail. Nestled among the myriad of pesky penis-enlargement ads and tacky, forwarded Flash greetings, many Tennessee football fans discovered something truly aggravating in their e-mail inboxes Tuesday. Worse than any chain letter. More insulting than those necropedobestiality spam messages -I still don't understand why I keep getting those things. Launching a damage-control campaign in cyberspace, Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer e-mailed about 38,000 Vols fans a 300-word letter apologizing for his team's dismal season. "This year was a disappointing serpson for everyone in the Tennessee family. We started this season with great expectations and failed to live up to those expectations," wrote Fulmer, who also referred to the Vols'5-6 season as "unacceptable." Really Phil, you don't say? This also just in: Phillip Fulmer likes to eat food. How enlightening. That's just about as blatant as pointing out to Tennessee die-hards that their team's first losing football season -one the Volunteers began ranked No. 3 in the country -in 17 years is "disappointing." If not for a comeback 20-16 homecoming win against Memphis, Tennessee would've racked up a sixgame losing streak before its seasonending win against SEC doonnat Kentucky. Even Ron Zook never sank that low. Tennessee fans, why not pull a Frank Solich? Just booze coach up on some of that Rocky Top White L i g h t i n', prop him up behind the wheel and call the fuzz. At least the univ ers it y Bryan App could take App-etite the high road for Receptions then. Just be bapp@alligator.org sure to catch it on video. But you had better act quickly. 01' Phil has already begun distancing himself from the Vols' failures. After offensive coordinator Randy Sanders resigned on Oct. 31, Fulmer followed up Sunday, canning receivers coach Pat Washington and offensive line coach Jimmy Ray Stephens, who served nine years in the same capacity at UF before his three-year stint at Tennessee. "No stone will be left unturned and no question left unanswered as to what went wrong," Fulmer proclaimed in the e-mail. Perhaps the Tennessee athletics department should start by looking under Phil's bib. It's no secret that Fulmer -a former offensive lineman -likes to meddle in his team's offensive playcalling. Perhaps that explains why the Vols' offense ranked 101st in the country in scoring this season. Or maybe because Fulmer never could decide on a starting quarterback. Either way, Fulmer will receiv a little help in decision-making af ter rehiring former Ole Miss coaci David Cutcliffe as offensive coordi nator Tuesday. Fulmer said he needed someon< who "was an outstanding teacher communicator and disciplinarian' and basically could do his job fo: him. He got that with Cutcliffe who coached quarterback stud like Heath Shuler and the Mannini brothers and basically mad( Fulmer's career by building th< offense during Tennessee's 1998 na tional championship season. Yup, Fulmer's pretty lucky t( have -Cutcllffe back, especially before the Volunteer faithful had chance to click "reply."
