Domestic partners covered by benefits
* UF APPROVES HEALTHCARE FOR
COHABITING COUPLES.
By JUSTIN RICHARDS
Alligator Writer
jrichards@alligator.org
Gay and lesbian partners of UF employ-
ees will soon qualify for healthcare benefits.
UF's highest governing body, the Board
of Trustees, extended the university's health
benefits to all interdependent couples dur-
ing its Friday meeting.
Administrators plan for the program to
take effect Feb. 1.
UF Human Resources Director Kyle
Cavanaugh said without the benefits, UF
has been at a competitive disadvantage
compared to some of its peer schools.
UF is the first Florida public university
to offer the benefits, but several of its peer
institutions already do, such as the univer-
sities of Michigan, Minnesota and Utah.
Cavanaugh said 295 schools nationwide
offer the benefits,
U F including 23 of the
Administration top 25.
"We have lost
some faculty because of this, and we have
had some say they weren't coming because
of this," Cavanaugh said.
Trustee Al Warrington cast the sole vote
against the benefit plan, denouncing it as
morally, ethically and scripturally wrong.
"I've got probably more gay friends than
anybody around this room," he said in an
interview before the meeting. "I just hate
the sin."
Before the trustees even met to discuss
the plan, it prompted rumblings in the state
Legislature.
Rep. Larry Cretul, R-Ocala, vowed last
week to file a bill prohibiting the use of state

Gators to face
Iowa in Outback
By ANDREW ABRAMSON
Alligator Staff Writer
aabramson@alligator.org
UF's postseason doesn't look so terrible after all.
While the Gators were bracing for the possibil-
ity of playing in the Dec. 30 Independence Bowl in
Shreveport, La., Urban Meyer and Co. learned they
will ring in the new year in a familiar place at the
Outback Bowl in Tampa.
UF played in the Outback Bowl in both the 2002 and
2003 seasons under Ron Zook, fall-
ing to Michigan and Iowa.
This year's game which takes
place on Jan. 2 because of NFL
games on New Years' Day pits the
a Gators against Iowa once again.
"They're extremely talented and
physical," said Meyer of the No. 25
Hawkeyes (7-4). "You don't play in the Big Ten unless
you're physical. But you look at the defenses in the
SEC, and this is a very physical conference as well."
The Outback is generally reserved for the No. 3
team in the Southeastern Conference, but the Outback
committee chose the sixth-place Gators despite having
the option of selecting Louisiana State, a team that lost
just one regular season SEC game to UF's three, and
defeated UF in October.
LSU will face Miami in the Peach Bowl.
The committee also could have invited Steve
Spurrier's South Carolina team. The Gamecocks fin-
ished with an identical conference record as the Gators
and defeated UF in the SEC finale.
Outback Bowl President/CEO Jim McVay said the-
Gators' wins'against SEC champion Georgia and ACC
champion Florida State greatly bolstered their resume,

Celebrating life
Campus events
spotlight AIDS
By KIMBERLY GOUZ
Alligator Contributing Writer
"Big Red had a nasty walk, the nastiest
in the hood," Naana B. Home said, describ-
Sing a prostitute she knew who died from
AIDS.
S The men still talk about her, dressed to
L~1 kill in her high heels, swinging her "sweet
booty."
But that's all that is left of the town
temptress stories.
SHome, an English professor at SFCC,
presented her poem about the prostitute
to a crowd of about 60 students at an AIDS
awareness event hosted by the African
Student Union on Sunday.
The. event, which featured guest speak-
ers, a documentary, poetry and interpretive
dance, was one of several campus initiatives
to commemorate AIDS Awareness Month.
"It is important people realize what a
huge problem AIDS is and how little the
general population actually knows about
it," said Evan Ferl, assistant director of
the Student Government Multicultural
Cabinet.
Ferl said AIDS is no longer an African
endemic, but something affecting people all
over the world.
"We need to realize that we are responsi-
ble for making the world better and safer,"
he said.

Plaza Ice Palace opens
The Plaza Ice Palace reopened
Saturday aft the Downtown.
Community Plaza and will run
until Jan. 1.
M relle Rosenstock and
Denrus Maragni, both 18, were
among the first to skate.
Rosenstock, a UF public re-
lations major, said she used to
figure skate in New York, but
the visit to the rink Saturday.
was just for fun.
"I love the cold," she said.
"It's just relaxing going around
in circles,"
Maragni, a criminal justice'
major at Valencia Community
College in Orlando, was in town
for the weekend. He said he
worked up a sweat and ended
up skating in a sleeveless shirt.
The rink is sponsored
by Gainesville's Division of
Cultural Affairs. Throughout
the year, the Downtown
Community Plaza hosts con-
certs, movies, theater and dance
performances and many other
events.
.Laural DeWild, events co-
ordinator for Gainesville's
Department of Parks, Recreation
and Culture, said the ice rink is
one of the best events they host.
It began three years ago as a
fundraiser for other city events,
but despite the fact that 20,000
people visited the rink over six
weeks, the department actually
lost money because of the ex-
penses incurred through use of
a generator.
The second year, only 16,000
people visited the rink over nine
weeks, she said. She blames the
warmer weather and the loss of
the novelty factor for the de-

doesn't know what to expect.
"My gut says we're going
to be overwhelmed," she said.
"That's a good problem."
She said a lot of people
don't believe it's real ice in the
rink. During the day, skaters
are mainly families in the 60-

take over at night.

Dancers from around South gather at UF 'battle'
By KATE WILKINSON
Alligator Contributing Writer
In a room with low ceilings and wood
floors, the audience of about 300 cheered
as dancers of all ages prepared to battle
Saturday night.
"You just know that you have to
put on your battle face and look
hard.".
Lauren Rodeheaver
Breakdancer
Wearing bandanas, skewed hats,
ski caps and helmets, the competitors
showcased their routines at the third
annual breakdancing competition Icing
on Da Break, sponsored by the UF
Breakdancing Club and UF's Hip Hop
Collective.
People doing headstands, jumps and
backflips stopped practicing to watch as
the two-on-two battles began.
Breanna Thomas, a 10-year-old from
Gainesville, won second place in the
amateur battle. She and her partner
first started taking breakdancing lessons
from a program through 02B Kids about
four months ago.
"I wasn't nervous," Breanna said. "I
do karate."
Lauren Rodeheaver, 23, said she
came from Savannah, Ga., with some
friends to compete. She had been prac-
ticing "breaking" for six months and
said people travel from all over to go to
breakdancing competitions.
"There are people here from Orlando,
Jacksonville, Tallahassee and tons of
other places," Rodeheaver said.
A key skill in breakdancing is main-
taining a persona. Some dancers take on
names, wear special clothes or talk big
to psychh out" other dancers.
"You just know that you have to
put on your battle face and look hard,"
Rodeheaver said, whose battle name is
Elles. "You've got to look tough and
mean so you look like you can throw
down."

Survey to determine effects of UF alcohol policies
* TWO THOUSAND FOOTBALL FANS
RECEIVED THE QUESTIONNAIRE.
By EMILY KISER
Alligator Contributing Writer
UF officials are gathering the potentially
sobering details about new gameday alcohol
policies implemented this season through a
survey of football fans.
In a survey sent to 2,000 Gators football fans
last week, the Alcohol and Drug Education
Policy Committee aimed to find out which
programs worked for the 2005 football season,
which didn't and what changes can be made
to ensure a safer season in 2006.
"When we are looking at our policies and
changing those policies, especially with alco-
hol, we really need to have data to back up our
suggestions," said Maureen Miller, alcohol
and drug prevention specialist at the Student
Health Care Center.
Miller said the survey was e-mailed to
1,000 student ticket holders and 1,000 non-
student ticket holders after the FSU game in
Gainesville. The results will help determine
the public's reaction to the Game Day Task
Force's public-relations efforts and how much
students really drink on game days.
"This gives us a better idea of who's drink-
ing more males or females, students or
non-students," Miller said. "Past surveys have
shown people are drinking more on game
days than when they go out and socialize or
party. There is a heightened environment and
culture."
The survey is a part of a comprehensive
approach taken by the committee, University
Police, Gainesville Police and the University
Athletic Association.
"It is a mass campaign to work with people
and to educate people to be responsible and
act responsible," Miller said. "Really we are
just trying to make the culture and environ-
ment safe for students."
The survey asks participants to list the num-
ber of alcoholic beverages consumed on a nor-
mal game day compared to a typical night of
socializing. The results will help the committee
gauge perception and potential misrepresenta-
tion of gameday drinking.
Student Industrial engineering senior
Life Ross Morris said the survey top-
ics were nothing new.
"I thought it was a little ridiculous, with
some of the questions and how they were
phrased," Morris said.
Miller said she was unsure if the survey
results would be directly connected to future
changes in UF's alcohol policies.
"We need to know if people are in support
of changing policy, and if so, what can we do
to make that happen," Miller said. "For the
most part, the people that don't drink on game
day are more looking for the policy changes."
UF would not be alone if future gameday
alcohol policy changes were implemented.
On Nov. 5, Yale University implemented a
new tailgating policy that requires all tailgates
to end after halftime. At that point, fans must
go to the game or leave the area, according
to Yale University's official athletic Web site.
On the same day, Columbia University also
unveiled its new tailgating procedures that
include a new tailgating zone and security
guards checking IDs at the gates, according to
the Columbia University athletic Web site.
"Schools across the country are experienc-
ing high drinking levels," Miller said. "It is not
just UF who is unique to this issue."
Miller said the surveys will be sent out
once more to the initial recipients before the
Dec. 12 deadline. The policy committee will
start reviewing the results next month.
"Our goal is to make game day as safe as
possible," Miller said. "We just hope that stu-
dents take the time to fill the survey out."
Outback CEO says Gators
will fill seats in Jan. 2 game
Skin-vaulting
A UF track team member sprints in her underwear through a crowd of screaming team mem-
bers and friends eager to see her pole-vault over a bar. Freshman members of the team met
Saturday night in an annual track team tradition.
OUTBACK, from page 1
but he admitted that the allure of
having UF play in Tampa likely
clinched UF's Outback bid.
"We wanted to bring Florida
in here," McVay said. "It's our
20th anniversary, this made sense.
This is going to be a quick sellout,
people are going to have to act
very fast if they want to be a part
of this game."
Meyer made sure that much of
the top high school talent in the
nation was well aware that UF
will be playing on Jan. 2.
"The minute I heard, other
than [telling] my wife, the phone
calls I made were to recruits be-
cause I think that's critical," he
said. "When you say Jan. 1, Jan.
2 and then you say the Outback
Bowl, and then you say you're
playing against a team with a
great reputation like Iowa, I think
that does wonders.
"It's good for recruiting and
it's great for our team."
Outback officials made a sur-
prising move by inviting Iowa
ahead of No. 20 Michigan, who
will face Nebraska'in the Dec. 28
Alamo Bowl.
Iowa fell to three unranked
teams, but defeated then-No. 19
Wisconsin 20-10 last month.
UF has struggled against some
of the SEC's upper-echelon de-
fenses, and Iowa presents another
challenge. The Hawkeyes' de-
fense ranks No. 3 in the Big Ten.
"The SEC against the Big Ten
for many years has been a very
challenging
matchup,"
Meyer said.
"People say
the speed of
-the South arid
Sthe physical
teams up
Meyer North [makes
for a good
game]. I like to think that the
University of Florida can hang in
there with Iowa."
The Gators *have nearly
a month to prepare for the
Hawkeyes, and for the next
month UF's coaches can point to
the Outback Bowl bid as proof
that the program isn't taking a
step backward under Meyer.
"Anytime you play a Jan. 1
or 2 bowl, [there's] the prestige
and the fact that players come to
Florida to play in bowl games. I
think that's critical.
Controversy arises over implications for domestic partners of UF faculty
TRUS I LLS, from page 1
dollars for domestic partner benefits.
This shouldn't be a problem, UF admin-
istrators say, because only money from pri-
vate donors will fund the benefits.
But Warrington warned that private
money may decrease after word about the
program spreads.
"As a donor, I would be offended if my
money went to this program," he said dur-
ing discussion of the proposal.
Before the meeting, UF President Bernie
Machen said the opposite is just as possible.
"It might stimulate private giving," he
said.
In a presentation to the trustees,
Cavanaugh said the added insurance cov-
erage will 'cost UF between- $500,000 and
$1 million. Typically, less than 1 percent of
employees take advantage of domestic-part-
ner benefits.
Cavanaugh said recipients of the cover-
age would have to prove financial interde-
pendence with their UF-employed partners,
using a life-insurance policy, will, joint bank
account or other valid documentation.
RACE RECRUITMENT: Machen also presented
the trustees with a new scholarship that
aims to bring more minorities to UF.
The Florida Opportunity Scholarship

recruits who are first-generation college
students from families with incomes lower
than $40,000.
at UF. His research suggested that many.
potential minority students are unable to
attend UF because, even with a full Bright
Futures Scholarship, they cannot afford the
cost of living in Gainesville.
"There's a significant cohort of sev-
eral hundreds of minority students who
are accepted to the
U F university but go
Administration elsewhere," Machen
said.
He predicted
that his solution will cost $1.43 million the
first year. By the fourth year, as more mi-
norities enroll, that cost would rise to $6.81
million.

Trustees voted Friday to suspend the
International Student Fee, created in Fall
2002 to cover post-Sept. 11 costs of tracking
and monitoring international students, as
required by the federal government.
UF Provost Janie Fouke said revoking the
fee will improve relations with international
students.
"While it's absolutely true that the uni-
versity is incurring added expenses," she.
said, "we want to be a welcome place for
people from all over the world."
HIGHER FEES FOR GATORS: Student fees,
paid per credit hour, were raised by a total
of $1.52.
Trustees voted on a 60-cent increase in
the Activity & Service Fee, a 35-cent increase
in the Student Health Fee and a 57-cent in-
crease in the Transportation Fee.

father had also tested HIV
positive due to a blood trans-
fusion, she said.
For years after his death,
Odera chose not to reveal his
medical history, even after
moving to the United States.
"I used to be afraid and
just said my dad only had
diabetes," she said. "I wanted
him to keep his dignity."
On Sunday, Odera par-
ticipated in the World AIDS
Marathon's 5K Fun Walk, her
first HIV-related activity since
her father's death.
"I did it to give a human
side to all of those voices,"
she said.
This time, Odera did
not walk alone. Along with
about 85 other participants,
she walked through campus
Sunday, many wearing red
ribbons signifying hope for
an HIV/AIDS cure.

A World AIDS Marathon runner stretches out her legs at Flavet Field after finishing a
26-mile run Sunday.
Worlds AIDS Marathon in an
effort to benefit orphans and
people living with HIV, AIDS
or cancer.
The 5K Fun Walk was
an alternative to the 26.2-
mile marathon along the
Gainesville-Hawthorne State
Trail. Other World AIDS
Marathon events included
a conference and exhibit
Saturday at the Paramount
Plaza Hotel and Suites on
Southwest 13th Street.
The entire weekend of ac-
tivities raised approximately
$10,000 for AIDS research at
UF and for AIDS and cancer
.charities. According to the
marathon's Web site, Janet
Yamamoto, a professor at
the College of Veterinary
Medicine, donated $1,000.
Yamamoto was the first to
gain commercial marketing
approval from the USDA for
a feline HIV vaccine.
Between 4(fand 45 interns,
including students in an HIV
and AIDS education course,
were selected to help plan
the marathon, spokeswoman
Sasha Muradali said.
As a UF Department
of Housing & Residence
Education employee, Odera
said student and campus in-
volvement is important when
promoting awareness.
"People forget that AIDS
doesn't just infect people
in other countries. It's here
in the United States and in
Gainesville," she said.

His presentation, which featured graphic
pictures of AIDS-infected patients, left many
audience members cringing.

white patches resembling cottage cheese called
thrush around the corners of its mouth.
"I'll go faster for those of you who have to
eat soon," Acholonu said. "I'll understand if
you have to leave the room."
On Acholonu stressed that many
Campus people infected with the disease
do not have any symptoms.
"There is no real way to tell if someone is in-
fected unless you have them repeatedly tested
and are positive they are not engaging in any
harmful activities," he said.
The Indian Student Association and Club
Creole dance teams performed at the event to
emphasize that AIDS is not an "African dis-
ease," but a global pandemic.
"The disease is spreading rapidly in indi-
viduals in Asia, India and Eastern Europe,"
said Hansjoerg Dilger, a professor of African
studies.
Owoidoho Silas, president of the African
Student Union, said that the event, although
focused on the stifling presence of AIDS inter-
nationally, was actually a celebration.
"It's not a time to be sad, but a time to
rejoice because we are bringing awareness,"
he said.

Editorial
Classes are almost over, and the Editorial Board is almost
dead from exhaustion. There is no ink in our pens, no mo-
tivation to our inspiration, no coherence to our words. We
simply cannot go on as before.
So, we're falling back on what we do best: criticizing oth-
ers for our own amusement. With only three issues of the
Alligator remaining this year, we feel that a year in review,
Darts & Laurels style, is in order.
Our victim today is Student Government. We're going
to hold them responsible for the past, in hopes that they'll
reform in the future. Also, creating DARTS for them was just
ridiculously easy. We have papers to write and finals to study
for; writing about anything else seemed like a task.
Tomorrow we'll take on UF administration, and
Wednesday is reserved for city and state issues.
So buy a red Sharpie, put on your reading glasses and get
ready to evaluate as we begin this week's first edition of...
Darts & Laurels
We first shoot a please-stop-treading-water-and-learn-
from-this-technical-disaster DART for this Fall's Internet
voting fiasco. Instead of allowing students to vote through
their GatorLink accounts, SG officials limited computer vot-
ing to specific locations on campus. The results were long
lines, failing computers and chaos. ,
We're sick of the excuses. Allowing students to vote from
home is definitely, definitively and unarguably secure. We
put our credit-card numbers through GatorLink, we sign up
for classes through GatorLink, and we enter loads of per-
sonal information through GatorLink. Voting for SG officials
ranks way below these actions in privacy importance.
Staying on the same topic, we slingshot a will-you-ever-
change-your-dirty-ways-or-are-we-tied-to-Greek-elections-
forever-and-ever DART for conducting business as usual
during the Fall elections. The Impact Party obviously had
a more thought-out and student-friendly agenda, but the
Gator Party mysteriously won by an overwhelming majority.
Not even the armies of loyal Alligator readers could stop the
madness. So much for changing the world through journal-
ism. We give up.
While we're on the subject of the Gator Party, we also lob a
student-money-is-not-for-funding-vanity-campaigns-about-
your-existence DART for spending thousands of dollars on
SG public relations campaigns. Officials created incredibly
pathetic television commercials and bought all sorts of SG-
emblazoned knickknacks without relaying any new informa-
tion to the student body.
Of course, Florida Blue Key has already figured out why it
should be involved. Having friends in the right places might
allow you to pillage the $11 million SG jackpot.
We fling an SG-reserves-can't-keep-Growl-afloat-for-
ever DART for giving Gator Growl officials $140,000 in
ticket subsidies, plus an extra loan from Student Government
Productions. If it hadn't been for Vice President of Student
Affairs Patricia Telles-Irvin, SG would have doled out
$340,000. That's a lot of money to give a private organization
for one night of festivities.
If SG continues to hold this huge soft spot for Gator
Growl, officials will never learn how to keep student ticket
prices low or Growl afloat without extra student funds.
But we don't think SG is completely full of bad eggs. We
bestow a keep-on-truckin'-despite-all-the-crap-flung-your-
way LAUREL on all the political groups that didn't win in
the Spring and Fall elections. Progress showed promise in
the face of hopelessness in the Spring, and the Impact Party
succeeded in pushing through a few senators this Fall. But
our favorite political titan is Dan Fitzpatrick, who organized
a campaign in the Spring aimed at making himself dictator of
SG. His aspirations at staging a "bloody coup" failed, but his
ideals of an SG openly controlled by an evil dictator appealed
to our search for truth.
The Iron Fist will always be close to our hearts.

Guest column
Death penalty needs careful scrutiny
here was a time when executions were festivals of
punishment and cruelty, gruesomely performed in
public squares. There were no medieval debaters
justifying execution for its ability to deter crime, or at-
tackers arguing that the merits of evidence did not justify
the terrible finality of state-sanctioned death. There was
only a public. A public wittingly and self-consciously im-
plicated in the death of one of its own, deriving satisfac-
tion in the killing of those who would disrupt the peace
and stability of their communities.
Today we are 'told this is barbarism. We enlightened
Americans do not string up horse thieves on cold desert
nights without written approval from the county judge,
at the very least.
Instead, we are disinterested administers of the sci-
ence of justice. The execution itself is perversely per-
formed with the sterile precision "of surgery, as if justice
were a matter of finding the correct medicinal mixture
and applying it to the criminal bacteria.
Gov. Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat, granted
clemency Tuesday to convicted killer Robin Lovitt, a man
whose defense counsel was at one time the infamous
Kenneth Starr, the special prosecutor made famous by
the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Lovitt's execution would
have been the 1,000th since 1976, when the Supreme
Court ruled in favor of overturning the ban on capital
punishment.
Warner argued the profundity of capital punishment
outweighed the mishandling of the state's criminal case
against Lovitt, which included the inappropriate dis--
carding of the alleged murder weapon, thereby making
a fair appeal all but impossible given the DNA resources
of today's crime fighting. Lovitt will still have to serve
a term of life imprisonment without the possibility of
Ethan parole.
Guagiardo Capital punishment is a hard
Speaking Out thing to defend to our enlightened
ears. We want disinterested reasons
to kill a man an argument based
in necessity. We are supplied these arguments deter-
rence, justice and so forth. But these reasons never quite
strike our sensitive ears with that clear tone of certitude
we expect when we are about to end someone's life.
As William Munny said in Clint Eastwood's Western
classic "Unforgiven" as he's about to blow Gene
Hackman straight to hell, "Deserve's got nothing' to do
with it." And indeed, what a criminal deserves plays an
ambivalent role in the administration of punishment.
We want to punish those who have wronged us, and we
want to hurt them. This is an uncomfortable truth for us
humanitarians but a truth nonetheless.
As a community, we have a need to protect ourselves
from subversion, and therefore we quash what may harm
us. We imprison, we execute, we make war.
The question is, "What do we need to keep us stable?"
Because I'm admittedly torn on the issue, I do not pre-
tend to offer answers. However, it is only because we
enjoy relative safety and security that we can debate the
rights of the criminal. Imagine how ludicrous the idea
of criminals' rights would've been in less stable societies
- in the streets of 10th century Brussels or 15th century
Florence.
We have the social luxury and the tools of DNA re-
search to prosecute with certainty.
But before we commit the 1,000th act of state-sanc-
tioned murder, let's make sure we want that kind- of
justice on our hands.

'Intelligent design' claims are testable
In Tuesday's "Scientific theories more than
guesses," Jonathan Hoffman quoted Thomas
Harrington, who said scientific theories are
"testable and falsifiable," then insisted "intel-
ligent design" "does not meet these criteria:
How do you falsify the hypothesis of the in-
teraction of a higher being? By. disproving the
existence of God?"
But "intelligent design" doesn't state mere-
ly that certain features of the natural world
were designed.
Rather, "intelligent design" claims that
design is detectable in certain features of the
natural world, and such specific claims are
testable.
For instance, "design" theorist Michael
Behe argues we can detect design in bacterial
flagellum because the tiny rotary motor needs
all of its parts to function.
That's a problem for Darwinian evolution,
which builds from one tiny, functional muta-
tion at a time.
Moreover, standard uniformitarian rea-
soning teaches that systems manifesting an
end-directed arrangement of parts whether
rotary motors or wheelbarrows or mousetraps
- are designed.
Why?
Because whenever we learn the causal his-
tory of such a system, it always turns out to
have been designed.
How to falsify Behe's argument? Provide
a detailed evolutionary pathway from simple
ancestor to present motor. The flagellum
might still be designed, but Behe's argument
that such design is detectable would have
been falsified.

Senior Fellow, Discovery Institute
Annexation promises higher rent, taxes
An article in Friday's Alligator on the an-
nexation of the area surrounding SFCC stated:
"However, homeowners may only break even
with this benefit because the city has increased
property taxes." It seems incredibly obvious
the renter will not fare any better, either.
If anyone imagines that the landlords will
eat those increased property taxes without
raising their rents, then he or she is a complete
fool.
Adding another level of government does
one thing: increase taxes.
It's pretty rare that the benefits accrued
outweigh the tax increases.
The average citizen now works until May
to pay all the taxes, fees and other folderol
applied toward his or her income. Somehow,
our schools never mention to students that the
total tax the Founding Fathers were revolting
over was something less than 5 percent.
They would stand aghast at what we con-
sider acceptable these days.
I predict this vote will mysteriously be
scheduled as it always is, during Spring Break,
whenever that is, requiring the extra effort of
an absentee ballot if a student is to vote.
Somehow, the city and county always
seemingly, manage to "accidentally" disen-
franchise the students with this tactic year
after year after year.
Nicholas Bretagna II
UF employee
Tuition hike would betray UF principles
Friday's Alligator reported that UF's
highest legislative priority is the ability to
set its own tuition rate. I believe this goal is
misguided.
Under the current administration, the
-university's goal of becoming a Top 10 institu-
tion has become something of an obsession: a
detriment of much of what has made UF great
in the first place.
For many years, UF has gained a well-de-
served reputation as a world-class education
at an affordable price.
Unfortunately, administrators are now
seeing this as a hindrance rather than an as-
set. Officials point to our low tuition as if it is
something to be corrected.
If UF is given the power to increase tuition
at will, it is at least conceivable that many of
Florida's brightest students may choose to
attend another school for financial reasons.
These issues may not mean much to someone
who was just awarded a $75,000 bonus, as UF
President Bernie Machen was, but it means a
great deal to the families of this state.
Machen also has made it known that
he would prefer to free UF from the Bright
Futures and Florida Prepaid programs as
well.
This further limits the financial options of
many students.
His administration has requested that
alumni contact their state representatives to
encourage this action.
Doing so would betray the founding prin-
ciples of the university and its students. The
overriding goal of any public school should
be to serve the citizens of the state. For over
a century, UF has done so with excellence. We
should not destroy that legacy in the pursuit of
a dubious goal.

New political party desperately needed
Why do I get the feeling that our elected of-
ficials in Washington are selling out America,
and all we want to do is sit around complain-
ing whether Wal-Mart should come to town?
Could it be that we can't' see that they can
retire in four years, give themselves a pay raise
every year and give corporations huge tax
breaks for sending our jobs overseas? They're
letting illegal immigrants take the jobs that
don't pay minimum standards while the rich
get richer and the poor get poorer. They got
us into a war we can't win and can't get out
of because they'd be damned if they did and
damned if they didn't. They let oil companies
make billions and their CEOs make millions
while most Americans can't even pay their
credit-card bills. The price of housing is go-
ing out of sight, and it won't be long before
most folks can't afford to own a home, or even
rent one. Our senior citizens are getting fewer
and fewer benefits, wondering whether they
should pay for their medicine or buy a quart of
milk. And we call this the land. of plenty.
Our courts aren't doing much better, ei-
ther. All they want to do is stop the Pledge
of Allegiance in our schools, stop displaying
the Ten Commandments and make us forget
Christmas is the birthday of Jesus.
if we don't start voting out every politician
who is in office, Republican or Democrat, it's
going to get worse. It's time for a people's
party one that will listen to the people and
restore dignity to our nation.
I hope that everyone who goes home for
the Christmas holiday will give thanks to
what we do have, and pray for our troops
overseas, wherever they might be.

Lighting opens season
lim Hussin, Alligator Sbatt
Neal Birmingham, 38, balances a candle between
bricks by the Christmas tree after an ensemble of UF
choirs sang carols in front of it Sunday.
By STACEY WROBLE
Alligator Contributing Writer
In an evening of song and cheer,
UF's College of Fine Arts and the
Reitz Union Board, sponsored by
Student Government, presented a
holiday program Sunday with al-
most as much history as its nation-
ally famous cousin in Rockefeller
Center.
The college's annual Sounds
of the Season concert kicked off
the celebration in the University
Auditorium.
Bringing together four choirs, a
recorder quintet and a brass choir,
the concert was directed by School
of Music staff members Will Kesling
and professor Ronald Burrichter.
Featuring Renaissance hymns,
traditional carols and contempo-
rary favorites, the concert offered a
broad spectrum of holiday music.
"I'm not formally trained in
Western classical music, but it's
different and really good," said
Sridhar Srinivasan, a graduate stu-
dent and concert attendant.
All in attendance were provided
with lit candles. Led by the choirs,
a sea of lights advanced toward the
Reitz Union North Lawn to witness
an event steeped in UF tradition
- the tree-lighting ceremony.
Led by Kesling, the choirs contin-
ued in song. After running through
four holiday numbers, UF first lady
Chris Machen spoke to the crowd.
"The sounds of the season were
absolutely beautiful," she said be-
fore signaling to senior electrician
Rick Murray, who lit the tree.
Guests were later directed to
the Reitz Union Colonnade, where
Reitz Union Board members dis-
tributed holiday cookies and apple
cider.
While not quite as old as the
Rockefeller Center tree, which
was first raised in 1937, the UF
tradition started in 1957 with a
holiday concert always following
the lighting.
In the past, the ceremony was
held on the north side of the
University Auditorium, facing
the Plaza of the Americas. But the
original cedar tree eventually grew
to a size that made its trimming too
difficult.
In 1987, the tree-lighting ceremo-
ny was moved to the North Lawn,
and a new cedar was lit.
Standing a majestic 45 feet
tall, the current tree is covered by
nearly 1,200 multicolored lights. Its
asymmetrical shape garnered a few
laughs from the crowd, who looked
up awestruck as it was lit.
"[The ceremony] is a symbol of
Christmas. It's for the entire univer-
sity," Murray said.
What: UF Crristmas Tree
Where: Retz Uniion North Lawn
The Tradition: The tiee lighting cer-
emony started in 1957 ana li has always
followed a holiday concert.
Tree Facts: About 40 feet tall, the cedar
tree is covered with nearly 1.200 lights.

Brewer soars in blowout win
I FORWARD SCORES 25
POINTSS IN 80-47 VICTORY.
By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer
As if the 16 points he had al-
eady poured in hadn't proved
hat it was Corey Brewer's day,
ds second 3-pointer of the day
light have.
With UF already holding a 52-
26 lead, Brewer stood in front of
the UF bench, rose and fired. His
shot clanged off the back rim.
In a stroke of luck, however,
the ball flew high
in the air, bounced
Men's off the top of the
Basketball backboard and
fell softly through
the net.
All Brewer could do was
smile.
Graham Hunley / Alligator
'orey Brewer goes for an easy dunk in the second half of UF's win
against UCF. Brewer finished with a career-high 25 points.
And in a game that was billed
as the Gators against Central
Florida, Brewer turned it into his
own personal show. He finished
with a career-high 25 points,
seven rebounds and five steals
as No. 11 UF (7-0) pulled away
in the second half to defeat the
Golden Knights (4-1) 80-47. t was
Billy Donovan's 200th win as the
Gators' head coach.
"He's hard to guard," UCF
coach Kirk Speraw said. "He can
shoot over people, he can slash,
he has the ability to put down a
perimeter jumper, and he'll get
better at shooting, too."
Brewer began to take over the
game late in the first half, when
he scored 7 of the Gators final
11 points, including an acrobatic
windmill dunk from just inside
the free-throw line to push the
lead out to 36-23 at the half.
The Brewer show continued in
the second half. He had a reverse
dunk along the baseline ard an
alley-oop layup from Taurean
Green that Brewer twisted his
body around in midair to con-
vert.
The high-altitude outburst
came as no surprise to his team-
mates.
"You've got to be careful, be-
cause he will jump over you and
dunk on you," said 6-foot-11- for-
ward Joakim Noah who finished
with 13 points. "I've seen him
do some pretty crazy things. I'm
not going to put anybody on the
spot, but people did get dunked
on including me."
In addition to his acrobatics,
Brewer was a defensive catalyst
who finished with a third of UF's
season-high 15 steals.
His play overshadowed one
of the best games of Al Horford's
career.
The sophomore center finished
with a career-high 17 points and
four steals, and he showed his
ability to run the Gators' fast
break UF scored 34 points off
of 19 UCF turnovers.
"Like I said in the beginning,
we're hungry and I think that
running just adds to that because
teams get tired after awhile,"
Noah said. "It's not just the press;

It's funny, because I could have sworn the Gators were
banned from playing anywhere near Raymond James
Stadium after those two pitiful
Outback performances when UF was
Zookified by the Big Ten.
But sure enough, Urban Meyer
makes his UF bowl debut against
an Iowa team that dismantled the
Gators two years ago.
Andrew Meyer couldn't be more elated
Abramson can you blame him?
Drew's Control Think about the embarrassing
aabramson@alligator.org ramifications of playing in front -of
a half-empty stadium in Shreveport,
La., for the Independence Bowl.
Instead, the Gators will basically play in their own
backyard in front of a stadium decked in orange and
blue.

NCAA TOURNAMENT
UF advances to Omaha
By BRYAN JONES
Alligator Writer
Jane Collymore has a flair for
the dramatic.
The senior closed the door on
Alabama and the Southeastern
Conference volleyball tournament
by tallying what will go down as
the final kill in the history of the
tournament. With match point
in the second round of the NCAA
Tournament Friday night, in her
final career match at the O'Connell
Center, the All-American's number
was called again.
And once again, she delivered.
With that final kill, eighth-
seeded UF defeated Kansas State
3-0 (30-21, 31-29, 30-25), propelling
the Gators into the Sweet 16.
While the match ended in a
sweep, it was anything but an easy
victory for the Gators.
"The 3-0 win is not reflective of
how competitive this match was
and how dose it was," Coach Mary
Wise said. "We had to play very
well to beat this team."
Thirty points wasn't enough in
game two, as Kansas State pushed
the Gators to a 31-29 score.
In game three, UF fell behind
24-21 when Mary Wise decided to
call a timeout. Behind the serving
of sophomore outside hitter Marcie
Hampton, UF would go on to score
nine of the next 10 points to dose
out the match.
"Going to the Sweet 16
and just that feeling of this
whole team in celebration
after the game was a great
feeling."
Rachel Engel
Senior volleyball player
"A lot of credit goes to Marcie
Hampton for that serving run she
went on because that was pinpoint
accuracy, serving really tough balls
against some really good passers,"
-Wise said.
Collymore finished with 18 kills
and 11 digs, hitting .302 for the
match, but the difference maker for
the Gators may have been sopho-

RECRUITING
Top recruit heads to title game
By NICK ZACCARDI
Alligator Writer
ST. AUGUSTINE After Tim
Tebow's final high school home
game, Urban Meyer was waiting,
standing in line behind kids request-
ing Tebow's autograph and reporters
asking questions.
Once Meyer got into Tebow's
line of vision, he calmly told the St.
Augustine Nease High quarterback,
"I'll be in the coach's office. I'll see
you there."
Non-chalantly, Tebow returned to
the recorders and sharpies, as if noth-
ing had happened.
With Meyer watching on the
Nease sideline, Tebow one of the
top high school quarterbacks in the
nation put on a show that neither
Meyer nor the several UF students
who made the road trip will soon
forget.
Led by the quarterback's 244
passing yards and 97 rushing yards,
Nease advanced to the Class 4A state
championship game with a 31-14
clobbering of Pace High.
Fans will get one final chance to see
Tebow play for Nease on Saturday at
1 p.m. in Miami's Dolphins Stadium.
Nease will try to win the state title
against tough competition, defend-
ing champion Seffner Armwood.
"Tebow's a
great player," Pace
coach Mickey
SLindsey said.
"They've got good
receivers. You're
not going to stop
T them completely,
Tebow
no one has."
That became apparent with two
minutes left in the first half, when
Tebow fired a 97-yard touchdown
pass to receiver Ryan Ellis.
Nearly backed into his own end
zone, Tebow zipped a pass about 60
yards down the middle of the field,
hitting Ellis in stride between two
defenders.
"You've got Tim Tebow, and again,
we get to use him one more game and
then let them college guys have him,"
Nease coach Craig Howard said.
"When you've got Tim Tebow, you
can throw from the 1-yard line."
Later, Tebow showed his versatil-
ity, scoring on a 10-yard quarterback
draw and hitting running back
Daunte Owens on a soft screen pass
to give Nease 7 points.
After the game, Tebow answered
questions on his impending decision.
Alabama and UF are the top contend-
ers for his services. He will announce
his decision on ESPN on Dec. 14.
"We just try and pray about it
and find the right place right now,"
Tebow said.
Gators fans outnumbered a
strong Alabama contingent at Nease
Stadium, where five UF students
painted their chests in orange and
blue to spell out T-E-B-O-W in the
45-degree weather.
"Gator fans are awesome, that's
[what] they're like," Tebow said. "It's
a great thing about Florida."
UF upsets Temple
By NICK ZACCARDI
Alligator Writer
After missing out on the NCAA Tournament last sea-
son, UF is doing its best to impress the selection panel
early on.
Defeating a ranked team for the first time since Feb.
29, 2004, certainly helped the Gators' cause.
Thanks to a missed 3-pointer as time expired, UF (5-1)
outlasted No. 18 Temple 58-55 to match its
best start in Coach Carolyn Peck's fourth
year at the helm.
Bo lI "When it comes to RPI ratings as the
time gets toward the end of the season, I
think this game could be a deal breaker of
whether or not you get in or out of the tournament," Peck
said. "I think it's very key that you beat a ranked team on
the road. You get a lot credit when you do that."
Temple's failed bid to force overtime came following
a timeout with eight seconds left when Jennifer Owens'
attempt fell short off the rim.
UF held a 58-52 lead with 20 seconds left but let the

The win may have come at a price, how-
ever, as top reserve Chris Richard played just
nine minutes and was not on the bench at the
end of the game after re-aggravating an ankle
sprain suffered in practice last week.
On Saturday, Donovan was unsure of
Richard's status for Tuesday's road game
against Providence.
"Right now, he definitely re-injured it,"
Donovan said. "To what level, we're not sure
yet. He does have some swelling in there."

that was-against two blockers,"
Wise said. "It wasn't like Kisya
wasn't on their radar...I think
the analogy would be, Kisya
was the wide receiver who
was double-teamed, catching
passes."
Meanwhile, the Gators had
their hands full with Wildcats'
outside hitter Agata Rezende.
The Kansas State senior com-
piled 16 kills, while hitting .500
for the match.
"Agata played like a senior,"
Fritz said. "She played like a
captain...She had some shoul-
der soreness but she just kind
of blocked that out and went
like there wasn't going to be a
tomorrow."
With the win, Collymore
and fellow senior Rachel Engel
finished their O-Dome careers
on a high note.
"Obviously to have a win
and this great of a win was
a good feeling," Engel said.
"Going to the Sweet 16 and just
that feeling of this whole team
in celebration after the game
was a great feeling."
The Gators will move on
to the Omaha Regional, where
they will face No. 9 ranked
Louisville. Should they win, it
would set up a possible match

them to be more talented. There

ABRAMSON, from page 17
Luckily, I was able to obtain a top-
secret advance copy of Meyer's speech
he'll read to Tampa boosters before the
bowl game. Here's an excerpt:
"It's a great day for Florida football.
I want to thank the old, white men that
support the Outback Bowl and happen
to be Gators alumni for inviting us to
the game reserved for the SEC's No. 3
team when we finished, the season as
the SEC's No. 6 team."
Excuse me for not praising the
Gators, but it's awfully clear that
UF doesn't deserve to play in the
Outback.
Just take a quick glance at the SEC
bowl map, proof No. 1;500 that the
bowl system is a joke.
Georgia won the SEC champion-
ship and heads to the Sugar Bowl
- no complaints here, even though
Auburn is the most talented team in
the SEC.
That's where any semblance of san-
ity comes to a crashing halt.
The Capital One Bowl generally
reserved for the loser of the SEC title
game passed up LSU for Auburn.
That's understandable, but don't for-
get LSU and Auburn both lost a single
regular season conference game, and
Auburn's one loss came to LSU.
OK, so LSU will have to settle for
the Outback Bowl, right? Well here's
what Outback CEO Jim McVay re-
portedly said to LSU coach.Les Miles
in an e-mail: "Sorry Les, there's too
much Florida pageantry in Tampa. I
know the Gators lost two more regular
season SEC games than your team, in-
cluding a loss in your house, but I real-
ly want my son to wear his new Gators
jacket I'm giving him .for Christmas at
the Outback Bowl. And by the way,
we're trying to sell seats."
So the Tigers are knocked out of a
January bowl, heading to the Peach
Bowl in a sexy matchup with Miami.
And it turns out the 01' Ball Coach
lost to the Gators after all. South
Carolina, the SEC East's No. 2 team
that spanked UF just weeks ago, heads
to the Independence Bowl to face some
team in a game nobody cares about.
I'm not saying the Gators can't hang
with most teams in the nation, but try
to find another sport that would toss
the No. 22 in the nation (Florida State)
in one of the top four bowls, the No.
6 team (Oregon) in the Holiday Bwl
and the Gators ahead of LSU in the
Outback Bowl.
It's not the Gators' fault they play
under such a terrible system. In fact
it only helps them. Why do you think
recruits want to come to a school like
UF? You think a three-loss Vanderbilt
team would edge out a two-loss LSU
team for a January bowl bid?
College football officials call it a
selection process. I call it a pile of kan-
garoo dung.

Owls back in by fouling Kamesha
Hairston while she was shooting
from behind the arc.
Hairston sank all three shots,
and after Depree Bowden missed
the 'dront end of a one-and-one
with 12 seconds left, Temple had
a chance.
"I think that down the stretch in
the second half, conditioning was
going to be important," Peck said.
"We picked up our pressure de-
fensively in the full-court, caused
some turnovers ... What we had
to [do] down the stretch is really
execute our offense."
While UF led nearly the entire
game, Temple came back midway
through the second half to jump
ahead.
But mistakes including turn-
overs the Owls finished with 26
- and an unusual technical foul
doomed Temple.
The technical came when
Brittany Davis was inbounding
the ball for UF with 1:10 left in
the game. Temple center Lady
Comfort touched
the ball before
Davis passed it
-two free throws
and a UF posses-
sion.
Davis
Danielle Santos
hit both free throws, and Davis
hit another to extend the lead from
three to six.
"This team continues to show
me good things and maturity with
their composure, even when the
games get tight," said Peck, who
saw her team come back from 16
points down to defeat Charlotte on
Wednesday.
Following Davis' big game
against Charlotte on Wednesday,
fellow senior forward Dalila Eshe
stepped up to lead the Gators.
Eshe scored a team-high 20
points, grabbed eight rebounds
and picked up four steals in 39
minutes.
"As the game got close, the time
got shorter, Dalila did a good job of
going down, posting up and want-
ing the ball and then took charge
and finished," Peck said.
Defensively, Eshe and the
Gators held Temple star Candice
Dupree, the reigning Atlantic 10
Player of the Year, to just eight
points.
Dupree also committed a game-
higl;.seven turnovers.
"If they moved her to the low
post, what we wanted to do is for
her to always have two people on
her so that she had to be a passer,"
Peck said.

night at the O'Connell Center at

But that's all that is left of the town temptress -stories.

"It is important people realize what a huge problem AIDS is and how little the general population actually knows about it," said Evan Ferl, assistant director of the Student Government Multicultural Cabinet. Ferl said AIDS is no longer an African endemic, but something affecting people all over the world. "We need to realize that we are responsible for making the world better and safer," he said.

While the Gators were bracing for the possibility of playing in the Dec. 30 Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La., Urban Meyer and Co. learned they will ring in the new year in a familiar place -at the Outback Bowl in Tampa. UF played in the Outback Bowl in both the 2002 and 2003 seasons under Ron Zook, falling to Michigan and Iowa. This year's game -which takes place on Jan. 2 because of NFL games on New YearsDay -pits the ioutda I I Gators against Iowa once again. "They're extremely talented and physical," said Meyer of the No. 25 Hawkeyes (7-4). "You don't play in the Big Ten unless you're physical. But you look at the defenses in the SEC, and this is a very physical conference as well." The Outback is generally reserved for the No. 3 team in the Southeastern Conference, but the Outback committee chose the sixth-place Gators despite having the option of selecting Louisiana State, a team that lost just one regular season SEC game to UF's three, and defeated UP in October. LSU will face Miami in the Peach Bowl. The committee also could have invited Steve Spurrier's South Carolina team. The Gamecocks finished with an identical conference record as the Gators and defeated UF in the SEC finale.

Marelle Rosenstock and Dennis Maragni, both 18, were among the first to skate. Rosenstock, a UF public relations major, said she used to figure skate in New York, but the visit to the rink Saturday was just for fun. "I love the cold," she said. "It's just relaxing going around in circles." Maragni, a criminal justice major at Valencia Community College in Orlando, was in town for the weekend. He said he worked up a sweat and ended up skating in a sleeveless shirt. The rink is sponsored by Gainesville's Division of Cultural Affairs. Throughout the year, the Downtown Community Plaza hosts concerts, movies, theater and dance performances and many other events. Laural DeWild, events coordinator for Gainesville's Department of Parks, Recreation and Culture, said the ice rink is one of the best events they host. It began three years ago as a fundraiser for other city events, but despite the fact that 20,000 people visited the rink over six weeks, the department actually lost money because of the expenses incurred through use of a generator. The second year, only 16,000 people visited the rink over nine weeks, she said.

"You just know that you have to put on your battle face and look hard." Lauren Rodeheaver Breakdancer Wearing bandanas, skewed hats, ski caps and helmets, the competitors showcased their routines at the third annual breakdancing competition Icing on Da Break, sponsored by the UF Breakdancing Club and UF's Hip Hop Collective. People doing headstands, jumps and backflips stopped practicing to watch as the two-on-two battles began. Breanna Thomas, a 10-year-old from Gainesville, won second place in the amateur battle. She and her partner first started taking breakdancing lessons from a program through 02B Kids about four months ago. "I wasn't nervous," Brearma said. "I do karate." Lauren Rodeheaver, 23, said she came from Savamah, Ga., with some friends to compete. She had been practicing "breaking" for six months and said people travel from all over to go to breakdancing competitions. "There are people here from Orlando, Jacksonville, Tallahassee and tons of other places," Rodeheaver said. A key skill in breakdancing is maintaining a persona. Some dancers take on names, wear special clothes or talk big to "psych out" other dancers. "You just know that you have to put on your battle face and look hard," Rodeheaver said, whose battle name is Elles. "You've got to look tough and mean so you look like you can throw down."

4, ALLIGATOR E MONDAY, DECEMBER 5,2005 survey to determine effects of UF alcohol policies TWO THOUSAND FOOTBALL FANS RECEIVED THE QUESTIONNAIRE. By EMILY KISER Alligator Contributing Writer UF officials are gathering the potentially sobering details about new gameday alcohol policies implemented this season through a survey of football fans. In a survey sent to 2,000 Gators football fans last week, the Alcohol and Drug Education Policy Committee aimed to find out which programs worked for the 2005 football season, which didn't and what changes can be made to ensure a safer season in 2006. "When we are looking at our policies and changing those policies, especially with alcohol, we really need to have data to back up our suggestions," said Maureen Miller, alcohol and drug prevention specialist at the Student Health Care Center. Miller said the survey was e-mailed to 1,000 student ticket holders and 1,000 nonstudent ticket holders after the FSU game in Gainesville. The results will help determine the public's reaction to the Game Day Task Force's public-relations efforts and how much students really drink on game days. "This gives us a better idea of who's drinking more -males or females, students or non-students," Miller said. "Past surveys have shown people are drinking more on game days than when they go out and socialize or party. There is a heightened environment and culture." The survey is a part of a comprehensive approach taken by the committee, University Police, Gainesville Police and the University Athletic Association. "It is a mass campaign to work with people and to educate people 'to be responsible and act responsible," Miller said. "Really we are just trying to make the culture and environment safe for students." The survey asks participants to list the number of alcoholic beverages consumed on a normal game day compared to a typical night of socializing. The results will help the committee gauge perception and potential misrepresentation of gameday drinking. Stud ent Industrial engineering senior LIe Ross Morris said the survey topics were nothing new. "I thought it was a little ridiculous, with some of the questions and how they were phrased," Morris said. Miller said she was unsure if the survey results would be directly connected to future changes in UF's alcohol policies. "We need to know if people are in support of changing policy, and if so, what can we do to make that happen," Miller said. "For the most part, the people that don't drink on game day are more looking for the policy changes." UF would not be alone if future gameday alcohol policy changes were implemented. On Nov. 5, Yale University implemented a new tailgating policy that requires all tailgates to end after halftime. At that point, fans must go to the game or leave the area, according to Yale University's official athletic Web site. On the same day, Columbia University also unveiled its new tailgating procedures that include a new tailgating zone and security guards checking IDs at the gates, according to the Columbia University athletic Web site. "Schools across the country are experiencing high drinking levels," Miller said. "It is not just UF who is unique to this issue." Miller said the surveys will be sent out once more to the initial recipients before the Dec. 12 deadline. The policy committee will start reviewing the results next month. "Our goal is to make game day as safe as possible," Miller said. "We just hope that students take the time to fill the survey out." Outback CEO says Gators will fill seats in Jan. 2 game OUTBA K, from page 1 but he admitted that the allure of having UF play in Tampa likely clinched UF's Outback bid. "We wanted to bring Florida in here," McVay said. "It's our 20th anniversary, this made sense. This is going to be a quick sellout, people are going to have to act very fast if they want to be a part of this game." Meyer made sure that much of the top high school talent in the nation was well aware that UF will be playing on Jan. 2. "The minute I heard, other than [telling] my wife, the phone calls I made were to recruits because I think that's critical," he said. "When you say Jan. 1, Jan. 2 and then you say the Outback Bowl, and then you say you're playing against a team with a great reputation like Iowa, I think that does wonders. "It's good for recruiting and it's great for our team." Outback officials made a surprising move by inviting Iowa ahead of No. 20 Michigan, who will face Nebraska'in the Dec. 28 Alamo Bowl. Iowa fell to three unranked teams, but defeated then-No. 19 Wisconsin 20-10 last month. UF has struggled against some of the SEC's upper-echelon defenses, and Iowa presents another challenge. The Hawkeyes' defense ranks No. 3 in the Big Ten. "The SEC against the Big Ten for many years has been a very challenging matchup," Meyer said. "People say the speed of the South and the physical teams up Meyer North [makes for a good game]. I like to think that the University of Florida can hang in there with Iowa." The Gators 'have nearly a month to prepare for the Hawkeyes, and for the next month UF's coaches can point to the Outback Bowl bid as proof that the program isn't taking a step backward under Meyer. "Anytime you play a Jan. 1 or 2 bowl, [there's] the prestige and the fact that players come to Florida to play in bowl games. I think that's critical. Controversy arises over implications for domestic partners of UF faculty TRUSTEES, from page 1 dollars for domestic partner benefits. This shouldn't be a problem, UF administrators say, because only money from private donors will fund the benefits. But Warrington warned that private money may decrease after word about the program spreads. "As a donor, I would be offended if my money went to this program," he said during discussion of the proposal. Before the meeting, UF President Bernie Machen said the opposite is just as possible. "It might stimulate private giving," he said. In a presentation to the trustees, Cavanaugh said the added insurance coverage will cost UF between $500,000 and $1 million. Typically, less than 1 percent of employees take advantage of domestic-partner benefits. Cavanaugh said recipients of the coverage would have to prove financial interdependence with their UF-employed partners, using a life-insurance policy, will, joint bank account or other valid documentation. RACE RECRUITMENT: Machen also presented the trustees with a new scholarship that aims to bring more minorities to UP. The Florida Opportunity Scholarship provides tuition money and more to UF recruits who are first-generation college students from families with incomes lower than $40,000. Its first recipients will be freshmen enrolling Summer 2006. Mach en presented disproportionate and declining figures of black students enrolled at UP. His research suggested that many potential minority students are unable to attend UF because, even with a full Bright Futures Scholarship, they cannot afford the cost of living in Gainesville. "There's a significant cohort of several hundreds of minority students who are accepted to the U F university but go Administration elsewhere," Machen said. He predicted that his solution will cost $1.43 million the first year. By the fourth year, as more minorities enroll, that cost would rise to $6.81 million. NO FEE FOR FOREIGNERS: International students will no longer have to pay an extra $50 a semester to attend UP. Trustees voted Friday to suspend the International Student Fee, created in Fall 2002 to cover post-Sept. 11 costs of tracking and monitoring international students, as required by the federal government. UT Provost Janie Fouke said revoking the fee will improve relations with international students. "While it's absolutely true that the university is incurring added expenses," she said, "we want to be a welcome place for people from all over the world." HIGHER FEES FOR GATORS: Student fees, paid per credit hour, were raised by a total of $1.52. Trustees voted on a 60-cent increase in the Activity & Service Fee, a 35-cent increase in the Student Health Fee and a 57-cent increase in the Transportation Fee.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 5 AROUND GAINESVILLE Participants walk, run for research By KENDRA GENTRY Alligator Contributing Writer After seven years, Kenya native Catherine Odera said it was time to face the voices that have troubled her since her father's death in 1998. In addition to being diagnosed with diabetes, Odera's father had also tested HIV positive due to a blood transfusion, she said. For years after his death, Odera chose not to reveal his medical history, even after moving to the United States. "I used to be afraid and just said my dad only had diabetes," she said. "I wanted him to keep his dignity." On Sunday, Odera participated in the World AIDS Marathon's 5K Fun Walk, her first HIV-related activity since her father's death. "I did it to give a human side to all of those voices," she said. This time, Odera did not walk alone. Along with about 85 other participants, she walked through campus Sunday, many wearing red ribbons signifying hope for an HIV/AIDS cure. Richard Brodsky, who is HIV positive and a brain cancer survivor, created the A World AIDS Marathon runner stretches out her legs at Flavet Field after finishing a 26-mile run Sunday. Worlds AIDS Marathon in an -effort to benefit orphans and people living with HIV, AIDS or cancer. The 5K Fun Walk was an alternative to the 26.2mile marathon along the Gainesville-Hawthorne State Trail. Other World AIDS Marathon events included a conference and exhibit Saturday at the Paramount Plaza Hotel and Suites on Southwest 13th Street. The entire weekend of activities raised approximately $10,000 for AIDS research at UF and for AIDS and cancer charities. According to the marathon's Web site, Janet Yamamoto, a professor at the College of Veterinary Medicine, donated $1,000. Yamamoto was the first to gain commercial marketing approval from the USDA for a feline HIV vaccine. Between 4iand 45 interns, including students in an HIV and AIDS education course, were selected to help plan the marathon, spokeswoman Sasha Muradati said. As a UF Department of Housing & Residence Education employee, Odera said student and campus involvement is important when promoting awareness. "People forget that AIDS doesn't just infect people in other countries. It's here in the United States and in Gainesville," she said. About to graduate and. worried about paying ou student loans?'

Speaker stresses that not all have symptoms AIDS, from page 1 gist from Jacksonville. His presentation, which featured graphic pictures of AIDS-infected patients, left many audience members cringing. One slide showed a newly born baby with white patches resembling cottage cheese called thrush around the corners of its mouth. "I'll go faster for those of you who have to eat soon," Acholonu said. "I'll understand if you have to leave the room. On Acholonu stressed that many CalifiP u S people infected with the disease do not have any symptoms. "There is no real way to tell if someone is infected unless you have them repeatedly tested and are positive they are not engaging in any harmful activities," he said. The Indian Student Association and Club Creole dance teams performed at the event to emphasize that AIDS is not an "African disease," but a global pandemic. "The disease is spreading rapidly in individuals in Asia, India and Eastern Europe," said Hansjoerg Dilger, a professor of African studies. Owoidoho Silas, president of the African Student Union, said that the event, although focused on the stifling presence of AIDS internationally, was actually a celebration. "It's not a time to be sad, but a time to rejoice because we are bringing awareness," he said.

6, ALLIGATOR S MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2005 Editorial Classes are almost over, and the Editorial Board is almost dead from exhaustion. There is no ink in our pens, no motivation to our inspiration, no coherence to our words. We simply cannot go on as before. So, we're falling back on what we do best: criticizing others for our own amusement. With only three issues of the Alligator remaining this year, we feel that a year in review, Darts & Laurels style, is in order. Our victim today is Student Government. We're going to hold them responsible for the past, in hopes that they'll reform in the future. Also, creating DARTS for them was just ridiculously easy. We have papers to write and finals to study for; writing about anything else seemed like a task. Tomorrow we'll take on UF administration, and Wednesday is reserved for city and state issues. So buy a red Sharpie, put on your reading glasses and get ready to evaluate as we begin this week's first edition of. Darts & Laurels We first shoot a please-stop-treading-water-and-learnfrom-this-technical-disaster DART for this Fall's Internet voting fiasco. Instead of allowing students to vote through their GatorLink accounts, SG officials limited computer voting to specific locations on campus. The results were long lines, failing computers and chaos. We're sick of the excuses. Allowing students to vote from home is definitely, definitively and unarguably secure. We put our credit-card numbers through GatorLink, we sign up for classes through GatorLink, and we enter loads of personal information through GatorLink. Voting for SG officials ranks way below these actions in privacy importance. Staying on the same topic, we slingshot a will-you-everchange-your-dirty-ways-or-are-we-tied-to-Greek-electionsforever-and-ever DART for conducting business as usual during the Fall elections. The Impact Party obviously had a more thought-out and student-friendly agenda, but the Gator Party mysteriously won by an overwhelming majority. Not even the armies of loyal Alligator readers could stop the madness. So much for changing the world through journalism. We give up. While we're on the subject of the Gator Party, we also lob a student-money-is-not-for-funding-vanity-campaigns-aboutyour-existence DART for spending thousands of dollars on SG public relations campaigns. Officials created incredibly pathetic television commercials and bought all sorts of SGemblazoned knickknacks without relaying any new information to the student body. Of course, Florida Blue Key has already figured out why it should be involved. Having friends in the right places might allow you to pillage the $11 million SG jackpot. We fling an SG-reserves-can't-keep-Growl-afloat-forever DART for giving Gator Growl officials $140,000 in ticket subsidies, plus an extra loan from Student Government Productions. If it hadn't been for Vice President of Student Affairs Patricia Telles-Irvin, SG would have doled out $340,000. That's a lot of money to give a private organization for one night of festivities. If SG continues to hold this huge soft spot for Gator Growl, officials will never learn how to keep student ticket prices low or Growl afloat without extra student funds. But we don't think SG is completely full of bad eggs. We bestow a keep-on-truckin'-despite-all-the-crap-flung-yourway LAUREL on all the political groups that didn't win in the Spring and Fall elections. Progress showed promise in the face of hopelessness in the Spring, and the Impact Party succeeded in pushing through a few senators this Fall. But our favorite political titan is Dan Fitzpatrick, who organized a campaign in the Spring aimed at making himself dictator of SG. His aspirations at staging a "bloody coup" failed, but his ideals of an SG openly controlled by an evil dictator appealed to our search for truth. The Iron Pist will always be close to our hearts.

Opinions ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/opinions 2 K/WE5v WHAT IChU>2 J~ J C SO 913 0 7'7 P,'I G est column Death penalty needs careful scrutiny here was a time when executions were festivals of punishment and cruelty, gruesomely performed in public squares. There were no medieval debaters justifying execution for its ability to deter crime, or attackers arguing that the merits of evidence did not justify the terrible finality of state-sanctioned death. There was only a public. A public wittingly and self-consciously implicated in the death of one of its own, deriving satisfaction in the killing of those who would disrupt the peace and stability of their communities. Today we are told this is barbarism. We enlightened Americans do not string up horse thieves on cold desert nights without written approval from the county judge, at the very least. Instead, we are disinterested administers of the science of justice. The execution itself is perversely performed with the sterile precision of surgery, as if justice were a matter of finding the correct medicinal mixture and applying it to the criminal bacteria. Gov. Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat, granted clemency Tuesday to convicted killer Robin Lovitt, a man whose defense counsel was at one time the infamous Kenneth Starr, the special prosecutor made famous by the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Lovitt's execution would have been the 1,000th since 1976, when the Supreme Court ruled in favor of overturning the ban on capital punishment. Warner argued the profundity of capital punishment outweighed the mishandling of the state's criminal case against Lovitt, which included the inappropriate discarding of the alleged murder weapon, thereby making a fair appeal all but impossible given the DNA resources of today's crime fighting. Lovitt will still have to serve a term of life imprisonment without the possibility of Ethan parole. Guagliardo Capital punishment is a hard Speaking Out thing to defend to our enlightened ears. We want disinterested reasons to kill a man -an argument based in necessity. We are supplied these arguments -deterrence, justice and so forth. But these reasons never quite strike our sensitive ears with that clear tone of certitude we expect when we are about to end someone's life. As William Munny said in Clint Eastwood's Western classic "Unforgiven" as he's about to blow Gene Hackman straight to hell, "Deserve's got nothin' to do with it." And indeed, what a criminal deserves plays an ambivalent role in the administration of punishment. We want to punish those wxho have wronged us, and we want to hurt them. This is an uncomfortable truth for us humanitarians -but a truth nonetheless. As a community, we have a need to protect ourselves from subversion, and therefore we quash what may harm us. We imprison, we execute, we make war. The question is, "What do we need to keep us stable?" Because I'm admittedly torn on the issue, I do not pretend to offer answers. However, it is only because we enjoy relative safety and security that we can debate the rights of the criminal. Imagine how ludicrous the idea of criminals' rights would've been in less stable societies -in the streets of 10th century Brussels or 15th century Florence. We have the social luxury and the tools of DNA research to prosecute with certainty. But before we commit the 1,000th act of state-sanctioned murder, let's make sure we want that kind of justice on our hands. Ethan Guagliardo attends Louisiana State University.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 7 Letters to the Editor 'Intelligent design' claims are testable In Tuesday's "Scientific theories more than guesses," Jonathan Hoffman quoted Thomas Harrington, who said scientific theories are "testable and falsifiable," then insisted "intelligent design" "does not meet these criteria: How do you falsify the hypothesis of the interaction of a higher being? By. disproving the existence of God?" But "intelligent design" doesn't state merely that certain features of the natural world were designed. Rather, "intelligent design" claims that design is detectable in certain features of the natural world, and such specific claims are testable. For instance, "design" theorist Michael Behe argues we can detect design in bacterial flagellum because the tiny rotary motor needs all of its parts to function. That's a problem for Darwinian evolution, which builds from one tiny, functional mutation at a time. Moreover, standard uniformitarian reasoning teaches that systems manifesting an end-directed arrangement of parts -whether rotary motors or wheelbarrows or mousetraps -are designed. Wily? Because whenever we learn the causal history of such a system, it always turns out to have been designed. .How to falsify Behe's argument? Provide a detailed evolutionary pathway from simple ancestor to present motor. The flagellum might still be designed, but Behe's argument that such design is detectable would have been falsified. Jonathan Witt, Ph.D. Senior Fellow, Discovery Institute Annexation promises higher rent, taxes An article in Friday's Alligator on the annexation of the area surrounding SFCC stated: "However, homeowners may only break even with this benefit because the city has increased property taxes." It seems incredibly obvious the renter will not fare any better, either. If anyone imagines that the landlords will eat those increased property taxes without raising their rents, then he or she is a complete fool. Adding another level of government does one thing: increase taxes. It's pretty rare that the benefits accrued outweigh the tax increases. The average citizen now works until May to pay all the taxes, fees and other folderol applied toward his or her income. Somehow, our schools never mention to students that the total tax the Founding Fathers were revolting over was something less than 5 percent. They would stand aghast at what we consider acceptable these days. I predict this vote will mysteriously be scheduled as it always is, during Spring Break, whenever that is, requiring the extra effort of an absentee ballot if a student is to vote. Somehow, the city and county always seemingly manage to "accidentally" disenfranchise the students with this tactic year after year after year. Nicholas Bretagna II UF employee U U U Tuition hike would betray UF principles Friday's Alligator reported that UF's highest legislative priority is the ability to set its own tuition rate. I believe this goal is misguided. Under the current administration, the university's goal of becoming a Top 10 institution has become something of an obsession: a detriment of much of what has made UF great in the first place. For many years, UF has gained a well-deserved reputation as a world-class education at an affordable price. Unfortunately, administrators are now seeing this as a hindrance rather than an asset. Officials point to our low tuition as if it is something to be corrected. If UP is given the power to increase tuition at will, it is at least conceivable that many of Florida's brightest students may choose to attend another school for financial reasons. These issues may not mean much to someone who was just awarded a $75,000 bonus, as UF President Bernie Machen was, but it means a great deal to the families of this state. Machen also has made it known that he would prefer to free UF from the Bright Futures and Florida Prepaid programs as well. This further limits the financial options of many students. His administration has requested that alumni contact their state representatives to encourage this action. Doing so would betray the founding principles of the university and its students. The overriding goal of any public school should be to serve the citizens of the state. For over a century, UF has done so with excellence. We should not destroy that legacy in the pursuit of a dubious goal. John Harrell UFalumnus New political party desperately needed Why do I get the feeling that our elected officials in Washington are selling out America, and all we want to do is sit around complaining whether Wal-Mart should come to town? Could it be that we can't see that they can retire in four years, give themselves a pay raise every year and give corporations huge tax breaks for sending our jobs overseas? They're letting illegal immigrants take the jobs that don't pay minimum standards while the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. They got us into a war we can't win and can't get out of because they'd be damned if they did and damned if they didn't. They let oil companies make billions and their CEOs make millions while most Americans can't even pay their credit-card bills. The price of housing is going out of sight, and it won't be long before most folks can't afford to own a home, or even rent one. Our senior citizens are getting fewer and fewer benefits, wondering whether they should pay for their medicine or buy a quart of milk. And we call this the land of plenty. Our courts aren't doing much better, either. All they want to do is stop the Pledge of Allegiance in our schools, stop displaying the Ten Commandments and make us forget Christmas is the birthday of Jesus. If we don't start voting out every politician who is in office, Republican or Democrat, it's going to get worse. It's time for a people's party -one that will listen to the people and restore dignity to our nation. I hope that everyone who goes home for the Christmas holiday will give thanks to what we do have, and pray for our troops overseas, wherever they might be.

8, ALLIGATOR E MONDAY, DECEMBER 5,2005 Lighting opens season Tim Hussin / Alligator Start Neal Birmingham, 38, balances a candle between bricks by the Christmas tree after an ensemble of UF choirs sang carols in front of it Sunday. By STACEY WROBLE Alligator Contributing Writer In an evening of song and cheer, UF's College of Fine Arts and the Reitz Union Board, sponsored by Student Government, presented a holiday program Sunday with almost as much history as its nationally famous cousin in Rockefeller Center. The college's annual Sounds of the Season concert kicked off the celebration in the University Auditorium. Bringing together four choirs, a recorder quintet and a brass choir, the concert was directed by School of Music staff members Will Kesling and professor Ronald Burrichter. Featuring Renaissance hymns, traditional carols and contemporary favorites, the concert offered a broad spectrum of holiday music. "I'm not formally trained in Western classical music, but it's different and really good," said Sridhar Srinivasan, a graduate student and concert attendant. All in attendance were provided with lit candles. Led by the choirs, a sea of lights advanced toward the Reitz Union North Lawn to witness an event steeped in UF tradition -the tree-lighting ceremony. Led by Kesling, the choirs continued in song. After running through four holiday numbers, UF first lady Chris Machen spoke to the crowd. "The sounds of the season were absolutely beautiful," she said before signaling to senior electrician Rick Murray, who lit the tree. Guests were later directed to the Reitz Union Colonnade, where Reitz Union Board members distributed holiday cookies and apple cider. While not quite as old as the Rockefeller Center tree, which was first raised in 1937, the UF tradition started in 1957 with a holiday concert always following the lighting. In the past, the ceremony was held on the north side of the University Auditorium, facing the Plaza of the Americas. But the original cedar tree eventually grew to a size that made its trimming too difficult. In 1987, the tree-lighting ceremony was moved to the North Lawn, and a new cedar was lit. Standing a majestic 45 feet tall, the current tree is covered by nearly 1,200 multicolored lights. Its asymmetrical shape garnered a few laughs from the crowd, who looked up awestruck as it was lit. "[The ceremony] is a symbol of Christmas. It's for the entire university," Murray said. What: UF Christmas Tree Where: Reitz Union North Lawn The Tradition: The treeighting ceremony started in 1957 and has always followed a holiday concert.

O rtDEB MONDAY, DECEMBER 5,2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.drg rs I FORWARD SCORES 25 JOINTS IN 80-47 VICTORY. By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer As if the 16 points he had aleady poured in hadn't proved Oat it was Corey Brewer's day, is second 3-pointer of the day aight have. With UF already holding a 5226 lead, Brewer stood in front of the UF bench, rose and fired. His shot clanged off the back rim. In a stroke of luck, however, the ball flew high in the air, bounced Men's off the top of the B& ketbal 'backboard and fell softly through the net. All Brewer could do was smile. Graham Hunley/ Alligator .orey Brewer goes for an easy dunk in the second half of UF's win against UCF. Brewer finished with a career-high 25 points. wout win And in a game that was billed as the Gators against Central Florida, Brewer turned it into his own personal show. He finished with a career-high 25 points, seven rebounds and five steals as No. 11 UF (7-0) pulled away in the second half to defeat the Golden Knights (4-1) 80-47. t was Billy Donovan's 200th win as the Gators' head coach. "He's hard to guard," UCF coach Kirk Speraw said. "He can shoot over people, he can slash, he has the ability to put down a perimeter jumper, and he'll get better at shooting, too." Brewer began to take over the game late in the first half, when he scored 7 of the Gators final 11 points, including an acrobatic windmill dunk from just inside the free-throw line to push the lead out to 36-23 at the half. The Brewer show continued in the second half. He had a reverse dunk along the baseline aid an alley-oop layup from Taurean Green that Brewer twisted his body around in midair to convert. The high-altitude outburst came as no surprise to his teammates. "You've got to be careful, because he will jump over you and dunk on you," said 6-foot-11 forward Joakim Noah who finished with 13 points. "I've seen him do some pretty crazy things. I'm not going to put anybody on the spot, but people did get dunked on -including me." In addition to his acrobatics, Brewer was a defensive catalyst who finished with a third of UF's season-high 15 steals. His play overshadowed one of the best games of Al Horford's career. The sophomore center finished with a career-high 17 points and four steals, and he showed his ability to run the Gators' fast break -UF scored 34 points off of 19 UCF turnovers. "Like I said in the beginning, we're hungry and I think that running just adds to that because teams get tired after awhile," Noah said. "It's not just the press; SEE HOOPS, PAGE 19 Even a dingo can see bowl system is a farce air suck of the sav! Hoick some koala meat on the barbie and hit the turps from the keg -the Gators are making a triumphant return to the Outback. It's funny, because I could have sworn the Gators were banned from playing anywhere near Raymond James Stadium after those two pitiful Outback performances when UF was Zookified by the Big Ten. But sure enough, Urban Meyer makes his UF bowl debut against an Iowa team that dismantled the Gators two years ago. Andrew Meyer couldn't be more elated Abramnson -can you blame him? Drew's Control Think about the embarrassing aabramson@alligator.org ramifications of playing in front of a half-empty stadium in Shreveport, La., for the Independence Bowl. Instead, the Gators will basically play in their own backyard in front of a stadium decked in orange and blue. SEE ABRAMSON, PAGE 19 N AA T1U NA ENT US advances to umaha By BRYAN JONES Alligator Writer Jane Collymore has a flair for the dramatic. The senior closed the door on Alabama and the Southeastern Conference volleyball tournament by tallying what will go down as the final kill in the history of the tournament. With match point in the second round of the NCAA Tournament Friday night, in her final career match at the O'Connell Center, the All-American's number was called again. And once again, she delivered. With that final kill, eighthseeded UF defeated Kansas State 3-0 (30-21, 31-29, 30-25), propelling the Gators into the Sweet 16. While the match ended in a sweep, it was anything but an easy victory for the Gators. "The 3-0 win is not reflective of how competitive this match was and how close it was," Coach Mary Wise said. "We had to play very well to beat this team." Thirty points wasn't enough in game two, as Kansas State pushed the Gators to a 31-29 score. In game three, UF fell behind 24-21 when Mary Wise decided to call a timeout. Behind the serving of sophomore outside hitter Marcie Hampton, UF would go on to score nine of the next 10 points to close out the match. "Going to the Sweet 16 and just that feeling of this whole team in celebration after the game was a great feeling." Rachel Engel Senior volleyball player "A lot of credit goes to Marcie Hampton for that serving run she went on because that was pinpoint accuracy, serving really tough balls against some really good passers," -Wise said. Collymore finished with 18 kills and 11 digs, hitting .302 for the match, but the difference maker for the Gators may have been sophoSEE VOLLEY, PAGE 19 Z Georgia manhandled LSU 34-14 on Saturday to win the SEC title.

18, ALLIGATOR U MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2005 RECRUITING Top recruit heads to title game By NICK ZACCARDI Alligator Writer ST. AUGUSTINE -After Tim Tebow's final high school home game, Urban Meyer was waiting, standing in line behind kids requesting Tebow's autograph and reporters asking questions.

"It's 'ebow, and again, a great thing about Florida." UF upsets Temple By NICK ZACCARDI Alligator Writer After missing out on the NCAA Tournament last season, UF is doing its best to impress the selection panel early on. Defeating a ranked team for the first time since Feb. 29, 2004, certainly helped the Gators' cause. Thanks to a missed 3-pointer as time expired, UF (5-1) outlasted No. 18 Temple 58-55 to match its best start in Coach Carolyn Peck's fourth year at the helm. "When it comes to RPI ratings as the time gets toward the end of the season, I think this game could be a deal breaker of whether or not you get in or out of the tournament," Peck said. "I think it's very key that you beat a ranked team on the road. You get a lot credit when you do that." Temple's failed bid to force overtime came following a timeout with eight seconds left when Jennifer Owens' attempt fell short off the rim. UF held a 58-52 lead with 20 seconds left but let the SEE WHOOPS, PAGE 20 Handmade gifts for sale at the 7th Annual Holiday ArtFest December 5 -December 10, 2005 Hours: 11:00am -6:00pm Located in "the gallery" 2nd Floor Wayne Reitz Union University of Florida 352-392-2378 AL AA Gregory Ulmer ELECTRONIC MONUMENTS (ELECTRONIC MEDITATIONS) Looks at Internet sites that commemorated September 11.

The win may have come at a price, however, as top reserve Chris Richard played just UF four wins VOLL E from page 17 more middle blocker Kisya Killingsworth. Recording a match-high 19 kills and 5 blocks on .548 hitting, Killingsworth nine minutes and was not on the bench at the end of the game after re-aggravating an ankle sprain suffered in practice last week. On Saturday, Donovan was unsure of Richard's status for Tuesday's road game against Providence. "Right now, he definitely re-injured it," Donovan said. "To what level, we're not sure yet. He does have some swelling in there." away from na was wreaking havoc in the middle all night long. "We didn't seem to have an answer for Killingsworth," Kansas State Coach Suzie Fritz said. "Those 19 kills that she got, Tim Casey/ Alligator Staff UF middle blocker Kisya Killingsworth goes for the kill in the Gators' 3-0 sweep of Kansas State on Friday. tional title that was against two blockers," Wise said. "It wasn't like Kisya wasn't on their radar. .I think the analogy would be, Kisya was the wide receiver who was double-teamed, catching passes." Meanwhile, the Gators had their hands full with Wildcats' outside hitter Agata Rezende. The Kansas State senior compiled 16 kills, while hitting .500 for the match. "Agata played like a senior," Fritz said. "She played like a captain. She had some shoulder soreness but she just kind of blocked that out and went like there wasn't going to be a tomorrow." With the win, Collymore and fellow senior Rachel Engel finished their O-Dome careers on a high note. "Obviously to have a win and this great of a win was a good feeling," Engel said. "Going to the Sweet 16 and just that feeling of this whole team in celebration after the game was a great feeling." The Gators will move on to the Omaha Regional, where they will face No. 9 ranked Louisville. Should they win, it would set up a possible match with Nebraska, the nation's top team. "With every win the talent level of the opponent just increases," Wise said. "Whoever we are to play in that next round will be coming off two wins and we would expect them to be more talented. There are no easy wins left." ABRAMSON, from page 17 Luckily, I was able to obtain a topsecret advance copy of Meyer's speech he'll read to Tampa boosters before the bowl game. Here's an excerpt: "It's a great day for Florida football. I want to thank the old, white men that support the Outback Bowl and happen to be Gators alumni for inviting us to the game reserved for the SEC's No. 3 team when we finishedthe season as the SEC's No. 6 team." Excuse me for not praising the Gators; but it's awfully clear that UF doesn't deserve to play in the Outback. Just take a quick glance at the SEC bowl map, proof No. 1,500 that the bowl system is a joke. Georgia won the SEC championship and heads to the Sugar Bowl -no complaints here, even though Auburn is the most talented team in the SEC. That's where any semblance of sanity comes to a crashing halt. The Capital One Bowl -generally reserved for the loser of the SEC title game -passed up LSU for Auburn. That's understandable, but don't forget LSU and Auburn both lost a single regular season conference game, and Auburn's one loss came to LSU. .OK, so LSU will have to settle for the Outback Bowl, right? Well here's what Outback CEO Jim McVay reportedly said to LSU coach Les Miles in an e-mail: "Sorry Les, there's too much Florida pageantry in Tampa. I know the Gators lost two more regular season SEC games than your team, including a loss in your house, but I really want my son to wear his new Gators jacket I'm giving him for Christmas at the Outback Bowl. And by the way, we're trying to sell seats." So the Tigers are knocked out of a January bowl, heading to the Peach Bowl in a sexy matchup with Miami. And it turns out the 01' Ball Coach lost to the Gators after all. South Carolina, the SEC East's No. 2 team that spanked UF just weeks ago, heads to the Independence Bowl to face some team in a game nobody cares about. I'm not saying the Gators can't hang with most teams in the nation, but try to find another sport that would toss the No. 22 in the nation (Florida State) in one of the top four bowls, the No. 6 team (Oregon) in the Holiday Fuwl and the Gators ahead of LSU in the Outback Bowl. It's not the Gators' fault they play under such a terrible system. In fact it only helps them. Why do you think recruits want to come to a school like UF? You think a three-loss Vanderbilt team would edge out a two-loss LSU team for a January bowl bid? College football officials call it a selection process. I call it a pile of kangaroo dung.

20, ALLIGATORR U MONDAY, DECEMBER 5 2005 UF returns M!, home tonight WHOOPS, from page18 [i Owls back in by fouling Kamesha Hairston while she was shooting from behind the arc. Hairston sank all three shots, and after Depree Bowden missed the dront end of a one-and-one with 12 seconds left, Temple had a chance. "I think that down the stretch in the second half, conditioning was going to be important," Peck said. "We picked up our pressure defensively in the full-court, caused some turnovers .What we had to [do] down the stretch is really execute our offense." While UF led nearly the entire game, Temple came back midway through the second half to jump ahead. But mistakes including turnovers -the Owls finished with 26 -and an unusual technical foul doomed Temple. The technical came when Brittany Davis was inbounding the ball for UF with 1:10 left in the game. Temple center Lady Comfort touched the ball before Davis passed it in, resulting in two free throws and a UF possession. Davis -Danielle Santos hit both free throws, and Davis hit another to extend the lead from three to six. "This team continues to show me good things and maturity with their composure, even when the games get tight," said Peck, who saw her team come back from 16 points down to defeat Charlotte on Wednesday. Following Davis' big game against Charlotte on Wednesday, fellow senior forward Dalila Eshe stepped up to lead the Gators. Eshe scored a team-high 20 points, grabbed eight rebounds and picked up four steals in 39 minutes. "As the game got close, the time got shorter, Dahila did a good job of going down, posting up and wanting the ball and then took charge and finished," Peck said. Defensively, Eshe and' the Gators held Temple star Candice Dupree, the reigning Atlantic 10 Player of the Year, to just eight points. Dupree also committed a gamehigl-seven turnovers. "If they moved her to the low post, what we wanted to do is for her to always have two people on her so that she had to be a passer," Peck said.
