Creating a community


Cultural aides


boost students
By DIANA MAZZELLA
Alligator Writer
dmazzella@alligator.org

Some directors in the Dean of
Students Office offer UF students schol-
arships, a place to study and a shoulder
to lean on when they have a problem.
A graduate assistant balances
class while working to do the same
for Asian American students. On
UF's horizon is a Multicultural and
Diversity Affairs director who will
work alongside the other directors.
Here is a look at the existing staff.

Speaking up for sexuality
Tamara Cohen, the first Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual and Transgender
Affairs director at UF, has been in her
position for about a year and already
is seeing changes.
Cohen said her office in Graham
Hall is a safe environment in which
students can discuss sexuality and


gender issues and is a resource where
those writing papers on these issues
can find information.
She advises Pride Student Union
but explained that the student group
organizes its own programs.
"I think that a lot of strength in
programming comes from the stu-
dents," she said.
She said she organizes voluntary
sensitivity training for faculty and
staff and has already done some train-
ing for the staff of the Student Health
Care Center and Reitz Union. She
also expanded the Friends program,
which is for students, faculty and
staff who want to learn how to better
support LGBT people at UF.
But she said there are still changes
to be made.
"There certainly are a lot of people
that want to see a center (for LGBT)
on campus," Cohen said.
This would be a place similar to
the Institute of Black Culture and the
Institute of Hispanic-Latino Cultures,
which would make the office more
visible to the campus, she said.

Students to Break in Big Easy


* INSTEAD OF PARTYING,
THESE GATORS WILL ASSIST
IN HURRICANE RELIEF.

By JESSICA RIFFEL
Alligator Writer
jriffel@alligator.org

UF students are forfeiting time
off this Winter Break to help hur-
ricane victims in New Orleans, and
they need help.
Gators for Hurricane Relief is
seeking volunteers for a trip with
Anti-Gravity Campus Ministry at
First Lutheran Church in Gainesville
to aid relief efforts in the city battered
by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
UF student Justin Farge, who
helped start the relief dub, wanted


to quit school this semester to help
hurricane victims in his hometown.
"That wasn't feasible, so I've
been dying to get up there and do
hurricane relief," Farge said.
Farge, a third-year English ma-
jor, remembered the disbelief and
depression he felt after seeing the
devastation on tele-
Hurricane vision.
Relief "It was very
hard for me to be
in Gainesville while
I was -watching the place where I
grew up completely torn apart,"
Farge said.
He was able to volunteer in
Gainesville, sorting clothes and food
and starting a food fundraiser called
the Jambalaya Krewe with his friend,
UF student Allan LeBlanc. They


were able to raise money for Catholic
Relief Charities by selling jambalaya
for $3 a plate at St. Augustine Church
on game days, beginning with the
Louisiana Tech game.
"I decided if I couldn't take a
semester off, then I'd do as much
around Gainesville as I could,"
Farge said.
But Farge will finally get the
chance to directly help victims when
he and nine students work in New
Orleans from Dec. 27 through Jan. 4.
The group will join PRC
Compassion, a relief group in as-
sociation with the Pastors Resource
Council. The organization will pro-
vide free housing and assign tasks
to the students.

Goldberg to give


UF status report
Student Body President Joe Goldberg will give his State of
the Campus Address at Touchdown Terrace tonight at 7:30,
with the Student Senate meeting to follow.
Goldberg said he will speak about his
administration's accomplishments this se-
mester and those planned for the Spring.
He said the year has been "very success-
ful ... so far."
A resolution calling for Sunday bus service
will go before the Senate. It calls for increased
service for Fall 2006 and urges the Florida
Goldberg Department of Transportation to approve a
grant for the program.
Two bills are awaiting approval from UF administration, in-
cluding a transfer from reserves for the USA Today/New York
Times Readership Program.
Food and drinks will be served before, during and after the
meeting. Goldberg said the food will be paid for with tuition-
funded Activity & Service fees.
Touchdown Terrace is a section at the North Endzone of Ben
Hill Griffin Stadium.

ROAD TO RECOVERY


Student hailed 'miracle child' after accident


By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org

The accident mangled that her
bike and left her unconscious last
week could have been worse.
Anna Rutz could have died.
Rutz was riding her bike at
the intersection of 13th Street and
Southeast Fifth Avenue last Tuesday
when she was clipped by a car and
crashed onto pavement. She wasn't
wearing a helmet.
When she arrived at the hospital,
she was unconscious. Doctors were


worried about severe brain damage.
But Rutz woke up Wednesday.
She was tied to a Shands hospital
bed, and it was about 10 hours after
she almost lost her life.
"I don't remember the accident,"
she said. "I'm fine, other than my
stitches and my head trauma. I was
very, very lucky."
Rutz was released from the hos-
pital that afternoon and attended
class Thursday.
She said she doesn't remember
much other than trying to keep her
eyelids open.
"I'm living with a miracle child,"


said Lindsey Taffin, Rutz's room-
mate.
Taffin was in her room studying
when a police officer knocked at her
door Tuesday night.
She was told she might never see
her roommate again.
Taffin searched her Royal Village
apartment for information about
Rutz, who is an international stu-
dent from Germany.
"There's no way to prepare for
it," Taffin said.
She arrived that night at the hos-
pital with a Tweety Bird balloon and
candy, not knowing what to expect.


I im nussn / Aligator bsarn
Paramedics strap Anna Rutz into a stretcher after'she was hit by a car while riding her bicycle Nov. 30.


She found Rutz hooked up to a
breathing tube, immobile and being
fed intravenously.
"It was tough to see her in that
position," Taffin said.
Rutz said she wasn't scared when
she awoke and found her hands tied
to the Shands hospital bed.
"I didn't think anything serious
had happened," she said, noting
that the whole experience seemed
surreal.
Rutz's other roommate, Yoshimi
Kaga, said she got a call right after
she finished her shift at Dragonfly
Sushi and Sake Co., the downtown
restaurant where she is a server.
Rutz said she lost her appetite
while recovering, but Kaga, whom
she met during her freshman year in
the dorms, took care of her by spoon-
feeding her homemade curry.
"She just complained that she
wasn't hungry," Kaga said of Rutz.
"You've got to eat something be-
cause you are taking your medica-
tion."
Rutz said authorities called her
mother in Germany, and there was
a miscommunication that she was
in a coma.
"They still are all worried, but
whatever, that's what parents do,"
she said, noting that her parents
now know she is okay.
Rutz is from Balduinstein,
Germany, which she described as a
"podunk town" of about 500, where
she frequently rode on family biking
trips until she moved to Florida at
16.
"We're an outdoor kind of fam-
ily," she said.
Her family's helmets were usu-
ally in the closet, she said, collecting
dust.
Though she made it to class the
Thursday after she awoke, Rutz said


Tim Hussin / Alligator Staff
Anna Rutz rests her scraped
hands on her hospital pants in
her apartment Monday night.
Friday was a different story: She
slept all day.
"I was caught up in schoolwork,
which I really can't say now," she
said.
Rutz said she is rather athletic,
which may have helped her survive.
"I guess I must have known how
to fall right," she said.
She said her knuckles are
scabbed, and when she initially sat
up, her headache felt like "someone
is hitting you with an ax."
Because of the accident, Rutz's
Trek bicycle needs a new rear wheel,
as well as about $30 for lights and, of
course, a $40 helmet.
"They are really ugly," she said
of her new accessories. "Maybe it is
just an American thing."
But given her experience, the at-
tractiveness of the safety equipment
isn't such a big deal.
"Yep, I'm buying them," she
said.

Singing group debuts at UF


* THE SEDOCTAVES PLAN TO RECORD A
DEMO CD IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

By JENNI BENNETT
Alligator Contributing Writer

Combining seduction with a few musical
octaves, The Sedoctaves have arrived.
Though The Sedoctaves is UF's first female
a cappella group, founding members Stefanie
Roberts, Jenna Tuttle and Lisa Musselman
have been singing together before they came
to the university.
"The three of us attended Berkeley
Preparatory School together in Tampa,"
Roberts said. "We sang in a female a cappella
group in high school, and we agreed to start a
new one here."
After receiving permission to form on cam-
pus in October, the trio began searching for
talented college students with a passion for
singing. The resulting group consists of nine
freshman and sophomore women who sing
without any accompaniment except their own
handclaps and finger snaps.
Their concerts will include popular songs
from artists such as Kelly Clarkson, Mariah
Carey, The Beatles, Billy Joel and U2. Each
song will be arranged into separate vocal parts
for each girl to sing.


All of the arrangements are written by
Roberts and the founders' high school music
teacher, Rob Redei. The trio credit him with
inspiring them to sing.
"Mr. Redei never seems to stop,"
Musselman said. "In the time I have known
him, he has written countless a cappella ar-
rangements and even a musical for children."
Along with being a founder, Roberts is
also the group's music director, teaching new
members how to make arrange-
On ments of the notes in songs.
.-."So far, they were able to
sight-read two pages of music
in less than 15 minutes, so they
shouldn't have any trouble putting their own
creative spin on the well-known songs," she
said.
The Sedoctaves have set goals, including
perfecting at least 10 pop songs, performing
on campus or on special occasions and eventu-
ally recording a demo CD.
In February, they hope to have a
Valentine's Day serenading service to raise
money by singing love songs at a private
event or concert.
"Forming this group is exactly what I've
wanted to help be a part of since I stepped foot
on this campus," Tuttle said. "It's just what
this school needs four-part harmonies echo-
ing in the halls."

6, ALLIGATOR U TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6,2005


We were thinking about just calling it a week at the Editorial
Board, but thrashing Student Government yesterday got us so
pumped that we just had to give it another go.
And so we continue on to the second of our three-part romp
through the annals of bureaucratic illegitimacy, today focusing
on the goofs and gaffes of the elder brother of the eternally cor-
rupt SG our very own UF administration.
So grab a spoon and get ready to dig into this week's second
edition of...



Darts &PL68 ele

We begin by slapping a can't-you-find-a-better-way-to-
waste-money DART onto the forehead of the UF Office of
University Relations for their ever-changing marketing cam-
paign. After blowing nearly $85,000 to add the line "a lifetime
experience" under the UF logo this Spring, University Relations
decided to toss out the (relatively) old slogan in favor of the new
"foundation for the Gator Nation."
The price tag on that one? Including the slogan, some news-
paper ads and one very cheesy commercial to air during foot-
ball games, the total comes to. nearly $500,000.
We'd like to think that the university has better places to
spend a half million dollars. Like hiring more professors to
match UF's growing student body. Or speeding the renovation
of the library. Or doing something about this damn WebMail.
Which brings us to our next if-you're-going-to-break-our-
balls-then-make-sure-you-know-what-you're-talking-about
DART to UF officials for the lack of a resolution to the problem
of overloaded e-mail servers.
First, they tell us that we can't forward our UF e-mail to
other e-mail accounts. Then, when UF students use the online
WebMail system instead, officials discover that they don't have
the bandwidth to support the heavier traffic. They respond that
WebMail was never supposed to be the primary means of ac-
cessing e-mail, but we've never heard that before. And in the
meantime, we're left without a means to access online class an-
nouncements. We at the Editorial Board are sick of it.
But our nausea over this hassle doesn't compare to how sick
we are of the hypocrisy over alcohol that's been floating around
campus. So we throw a what's-good-for-the-goose-is-good-
for-the-gander DART to UF President Bernie Machen for this
year's new and improved alcohol policy. Although Machen has
prohibited alcohol sponsorship at Stephen C. O'Connell Center
events, banned alcoholic messages from UF programming and
ended the raucous "Drunk Bitch Friday" radio program on Lex
and Terry, he has choicely allowed wealthy alumni to continue
boozing it up in the press box on gamedays.
If we're not going to be allowed to drink with the big boys,
the least the university could do is provide us with a refreshing
beverage. We fling a don't-you-know-that-Coke-is-awesome-
because-it-is-the-symbol-of-America-and-used-to-contain-co-
caine DART to UF administration for dropping Coke's contract
and signing up with PepsL Students were never asked for their
input, and now we're all left with 20 oz. bottles of the sickly
sweet stuff. And Pepsi doesn't even make juice.
Finally, we feel compelled to toss another we-know-you're-
from-Utah-but-that's-not-how-we-roll-in-Florida DART to
Bernie Machen for his inability to produce documents in the
Grapski vs. Florida Blue Key fiasco. When instructor Charlie
Grapski requested all of Machen's emails on a specific date,
Machen stonewalled, claiming that his e-mails were indexed by
subject rather than date.
But he didn't stop there. In court, he went so far as to argue
that the e-mails in question had nothing to do with official uni-
versity business and that there was no proof that Machen's staff
ever received Grapski's request. At the very least, Machen's ac-
tions have the appearance of impropriety and bad faith. At the
very most, Machen could actually be aiding in the Florida Blue
Key-SG conspiracy.
But at least he's giving-us something to write about. Without
all of this catharsis as we head into finals, our heads might just
explode.

Williams should live to do good deeds


If America has any faith in its ability to reform crimi-
nals, "Tookie" Williams, who is scheduled to be ex-
ecuted, ought to be pardoned entirely. On Dec. 13,
Williams will face lethal injection for his conviction in the
1979 murders of four men. So why pardon this seemingly
ruthless co-founder of the notorious Crips gang? Because
for the last 24 years that he has been on death row, he's
committed enough good deeds to earn himself a nomina-
tion for the Nobel Peace Prize.
After years of reading and self-reflection, Williams
claims to be a changed man, basing his life on "faith
and redemption." Since several appeals have failed,
his life literally now lies in the hands of Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger, who is holding a private clem-
ency hearing Thursday. But there is more at stake than
whether or not Williams should live. We need to ask
whether or not good acts should exempt criminals from
the death penalty, or whether this barbaric form of pun-
ishment is even necessary.
There are several problems with capital punishment
on judicious and moral levels. Inevitably, having a death
penalty means that someone innocent will be executed..
In fact, a 1993 case in Texas is under review because
after the execution of the so-called "guilty" man, wit-
nesses started to change their stories. It is unacceptable
that even one innocent person should be killed in lieu of
a system "working" the majority of the time.
The death penalty is ethically wrong as well. There's
something inherently immoral about allowing indi-
viduals to judge their equals to determine whether a
person should live or die. If we are all equal, as de-
mocracy deems us to be, why do some have the right to
determine the death of another? In many instances, the
death penalty seems to be the rash judgment of those in-


Amy Eisinger capable of forgiveness for a single
Speaking Out mistake.
I am not advocating that we
simply let criminals run wild in the
streets after serving five years of a life sentence and being
released for "good behavior." I agree that some criminals
need to be behind bars for life. Yet time and again, state
reports show that it is, in fact, more cost-efficient to keep
a convict on death row for his or her entire life than it is to
execute him or her.
Lastly, there is the possibility of reform. Wouldn't it
be better to keep Williams alive, allowing him to contin-
ue his good deeds to the nation by preaching about the
negative affects of joining gangs? Killing Williams now
would only perpetuate his martyrdom and complete his
portrait as a victim of a failed system. -
Williams has proven that prison can work and that
enough time on death row and off the streets really
can change the perspective of a criminal. Granting him
a pardon would change an impending failure to an
example of success. Has America really grown so cold-
hearted that we follow through with the execution of a
changed man? What purpose does his execution serve
other than to say that, once convicted, criminals have
no hope of clemency no matter how they try to redeem
themselves?
Gov. Schwarzenegger has a weighty decision to
make. Yet, he also has a chance to make an example of
Williams by showing the good of an often-scrutinized
prison system. Letting Williams and other reformed
criminals like him live means granting them a chance to
make a positive change in society as a whole.

Liberals not plotting war on Christmas


L ast Friday, I braved the post-
Thanksgiving crowds and
headed into my local Barnes &
Noble. I was just ambling through the
store when I came across John Gibson's
"The War On Christmas: How the
Liberal Plot to Ban the Sacred Christian
Holiday is Worse Than You Thought."
Now, I'm pretty liberal, but I'd never
heard of such a plot. And I have my
own newspaper column, so you'd think
they'd send me a memo or something.
There is, of course, no "war on
Christmas." If we liberals were that
organized, we'd probably be able
to win a presidential election every
once in a while. It does make for good
politics, though. The Bill O'Reillys and
Sean Hannitys of the world bring it
up specifically to froth at the mouth
about it. They cite some town that had
to remove a nativity scene from its
city hall or some store with "Happy
Holidays!" on its banners instead of
"Merry Christmas."
Then they explain that this is just
the first step in the grand liberal plan.
First, they get rid of Christmas, or at.
least get the religion out of it. Once it's
gone, they'll have a march easier time
pushing their radical social agenda,
which includes outrageous things like
allowing women to choose, gay rights
or stem cell research.
But let's get real; does anyone actu-
ally want to get rid of Christmas? Of
course not. Christmas, like sex and


Craig Colbrook pizza, has en-
U-Wire tered a rarified
air of universal
acceptance. I
love it, at least. I love the gravitas of
the church services that day, I love
spending time with my family, and I
love exchanging gifts over TNT's 24-
hour "A Christmas Story" marathon.
If anything, liberals are looking
to protect the religion of Christmas
and all the other holidays this season.
We're looking to make sure that Jews,
Muslims and other religious minori-
ties aren't overwhelmed by our two-
month long celebration of Christmas.
That's what the whole concept of
the separation of church and state is
about.
Now, admittedly, some people go
too far with this ideal, and there's no
way to please everyone. But if a store
changes its banners to say "Happy
Holidays," that at least doesn't ex-
clude anyone, and who the hell cares
what Wal-Mart or Sears say about
religion anyway? It's so minor that
I have to assume Bill and Sean only
talk about it so they don't have to talk
about things that are actually impor-
tant. (Like, oh, I don't know, maybe
the real war?)
Of course, there is a tiny kernel of
truth in Gibson's book. Christmas is
becoming more commercial, and less
religious. That even disturbs some
of us liberals. A great deal of us are


Catholic, after all, so we'd like to see
the birthday of our Lord receive a
little more reverence and a little less
bargain hunting. I'm sure the ortho-
doxy of all the other religions would
like the same for their respective
holidays.
There are two things that the "war
on Christmas" ideology overlooks,
though. First of all, reverence for the
holidays has to begin at home. If the
family doesn't look beyond the gifts
and parties, no display in the town
square is going to be able to replace
that lost respect.
Secondly, if you're really con-
cerned about the commercialization of
Christmas, you'd better take another
look at free-market ideology. It's the
conservative devotion to laissez-faire
business strategies that have led to
extended holiday shopping hours
and month-long advertising blitzes.
We need to do a better job balancing
capitalism with our ethics, and blam-
ing liberals for the problem isn't going
to help.
So, it seems to me that the "war on
Christmas" is just a bogeyman created
to sell more copies of "The O'Reilly
Factor for Kids," not a major concern
for our country.
Then again, maybe I'm just faking
my opinion long enough to get a TiVo
out of this holiday season.

Evolution based on observable fossil records
I've read the letters about evolution and "intel-
ligent design" in the Alligator for quite some time
now, but Thursday's letter about how the "Earth's
age is as contestable as evolution" has to be the kick-
er. The "intelligent design" theory is based on the
Bible, not on science; the entire basis of. its hypoth-
esis comes from the Bible, not from observations of
the world and observations of the fossil record.
The pseudo-science that is both "intelligent
design" and Young Earth Creationism (YEC) is
rejected in the scientific community because it is
pseudo-science. There is no real proof of either "in-
telligent design" or YEC, and every type of so-called
"evidence" has been refuted so many times by the
scientific community that it is now laughed at for
being so ridiculous.
I once was intrigued by the idea of YEC, which
is the idea that Genesis 1 of the Bible tells the literal
creation of the Earth. This would mean that the
Earth is actually only around 6,000 years old. I re-
searched YEC because I felt like challenging my be-
liefs. Instead, I found that every single explanation
of YEC fails when you apply common sense to it
-just as every explanation for "intelligent design"
fails when you apply common sense to it. The flood
did not create the fossil record; it was created over
millions and millions of years by organisms that
inhabited this earth long before the Bible was ever
written. It's a real shame that creationists have to
make up fake scientific theories to validate their
interpretations of the Bible. Evolution is accepted
throughout the scientific community because it is
the best explanation for the observations that have
been made on this planet. It is a theory, but gravity
and relativity are also theories.

Course aims to teach perspective on disabilities


* STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN ACTIVI-
TIES THAT SIMULATE DISABILITIES.

By BOBBY KEITH
Alligator Contributing Writer

Students looking for a unique course
might find an exceptional one next semes-
ter.
The UF course EEX 3312, or "Exceptional
People in School and Society," is all about
being different, said Mary Ann Nelson, the
class professor.
"We are a school of diversity," Nelson
said. "This class personalizes all the things
that make us different."
The class is a general elective offered
through the College of Education. It is de-
signed to make its students aware of people


with disabilities and teach them about is-
sues relating to human diversity.
The class is best known for its on-cam-.
pus "simulations," which are employed
to help students better understand the
struggles handicapped people face in ev-
eryday life.
They include the "blindwalk," which in-
volves students being forced to walk across
campus blindfolded, and Challenge Day,
which brought this semester's students to
the Reitz Union game room to play video
games or bowl without using their hands.
These simulations are not designed
to make the students "pretend they have
a disability," Nelson said, but to simply
"give them a glimpse" of what having one
is like.
"We've learned that society doesn't
really have many accommodations for


people with disabilities, but it should,"
said Vanessa Vasquez, a health science ju-
nior and student in the class.
The class also has a 20-hour volunteer
requirement that must be met during the
semester, which has to be spent with a
group or individual who differs signifi-
cantly from the student.
Vasquez fulfilled her 20 hours by vol-
unteering at Shands
UF Hospital, but there were a
S.'. ..variety of venues chosen
by students this time,
such as reading to the blind or working
with the local Boys & Girls Club.
To set an example for her students,
Nelson said she also volunteers each se-
mester. This Fall she spent 20 hours tutor-
ing a foreign student in English.
However, neither the activities nor the


course deals entirely with "exceptional
people," or those who are mentally or
physically handicapped.
The curriculum gives equal weight to
all groups in one's community based on
race, gender, religion or sexual orienta-
tion.
Nelson also brings in a few guest speak-
ers throughout semester to further illus-
trate these issues.
"This class creates a forum, where stu-
dents can learn and discuss the questions
they have about these topics," Nelson
said.
There were about 400 students enrolled
this semester, but Nelson said the number
likely will grow in the Spring when the
class begins to count as both science and
international requirements toward gradu-
ation.


Not all groups have dedicated director position


DIRECTORS, from page 1

Partner benefits and discrimination
are some of the issues she discusses
with university officials and the press,
Cohen said. Anyone at UF can go to her
to discuss problems with harassment,
roommates, finances or professors.
She said she knows that students
have problems with professors and
TAs because of their sexuality or gender
identity, though she believes that many
don't choose to go to her for advice.

In the dark about a director
Though Asian American students
have no director dedicated solely to
their needs, Natalia Leal is the first
graduate assistant devoted to Asian
Pacific American Affairs.
She took the position at the begin-
ning of the semester and works more
than her prescribed 20 hours per week.
She spends most of her time work-
ing to solidify a program-for Asian
American affairs and attends student
events as often as she can, she said.
She wants to get a mentoring pro-
gram established for Asian American
students and encourage joint participa-
tion between Asian and South Asian
student events.
"I think I spend a lot of my time
right now figuring out how to get


things done," she said.

A hub for help
Students tramped through Leticia
Martinez's office for supplies as she
described the challenges and joys of her
position as the director of the Institute
of Hispanic-Latino Cultures.
Martinez said the main goal of the
institute, also called La Casita, is like
that of other multicultural programs:
educate the broader UF community
about the minority's culture and serve
minority students.
The students who come. in, some-
times more than 1,000 in the busiest
week, are looking for help with indi-
vidual or group projects.
She said not all students who
visit are Hispanic, but it's hard to
tell because La Casita does not track
students' ethnicities when they visit
the 80-year-old house on University
Avenue.
She said the La Casita staff includes
herself, a graduate assistant, a secretary
and 17 work-study students.
Often, when students and groups
come to her, "they don't need our
money; they need our help."
Martinez's inbox fills up with about
100 e-mails a day, she said.
"They don't know where to go to,
but they trust coming to La Casita,"
Martinez said.


She said she wants to see the La
Casita undergraduate mentoring pro-
gram expand.

Strengthening minority
communication
Institute of Black Culture Director
Darius Bost said he hopes that the UF
community realizes it is "a place of
black culture for everyone."
He said most white students he sees
at the institute are there for a class.
"I would like to change that," he
said.
Bost said it seems that a stigma is
attached to spaces like the institute
and minority events as being just for
minorities.
Minority groups seem to have the
problem of ethnic groups within the
minority not working together, he
said.
An example of different ethnicities
within a minority would be Jamaicans
and Haitians.
"There are cultural issues between
groups that need to be resolved," he
said.
He said he is often disappointed
with the turnout of multicultural
events.
"That's the hard part .,. get the
most bang for your buck but also
reach a large amount of students,"
he said.


Relief group- seeks help

HURRICANE, from page 1

Farge said they will most likely aid with cleanup
and repairs, but the situation and needs change daily.
"You just have to be ready to work," he said.
In a separate trip, about seven UF students from
First Lutheran Church's campus ministry plan to drive
to New Orleans as soon as exams are completed.
Jay Winters, a pastor-in-training at the church, is
leading the group to New Orleans to work at St. Paul
Church and its school from Dec. 16 through Dec. 21.
"We're going to be delivering presents for an en-
tire Lutheran grade school," Winters said. "And we'll
behelping the parishioners rebuild."
He said they will also spend time with the children
in preschool through eighth grade classrooms.
"We wanted to do a school project because chil-
dren tend to get overlooked," Winters said.
He said response to the trip was enthusiastic.
"As soon as the idea was pitched, everybody who
could was willing to spend a part of their Christmas
break serving others, and in turn.make Christmas
more special for themselves," Winters said.
Farge said that additional volunteers are needed.
"There's lots of people who are still suffering, and
things aren't going to be dose to normal for a long
time," Farge said. "Any way we can help is desper-
ately needed."
Anyone interested in joining Farge's group can
contact him by e-mail at fargie03@ufl.edu.

Donovan owes much of his success to former Friars coach, mentor Pitino


Courtesy of Providence sports information
Billy Donovan shows off his ball-handling skill as a guard at Providence in the mid-1980s.
Donovan scored 20.6 points per game his senior season and led the Friars to the Final Four.


BASKETBALL from page 20


the greatest experience of his life.
"Boy was that the truth," Donovan
said.
"There were a lot of variables that
went into me being a better player.
When [you're] young and immature,
you don't think you're being given
an opportunity. But looking back on
it right now, my first two years at
Providence, I wouldn't have played me
either. I was probably a detriment and
wouldn't help the team win."
His final two years, however, he was
more than helpful, scoring nearly 21
points per game and leading the Friars
to the Final Four.
And he owed much of that success
to Pitino.
"There's no question that when
Coach Pitino came to Providence that
he had a great effect on my basketball
life, on my career, on my personal life,"
Donovan said. "There's no question I
thought about 'what if he didn't come
in? What happens if I left?' There's just-
an unbelievable chain of events that


happened that I'm very blessed and for-
tunate to be where I'm at right now."
One question does remain, how-
ever.
What was up with those short?
"I won't show the [players] any-
thing," Donovan said. "Because those
guys, when you start talking about 1987


Donovan


or '86, those guys im-
mediately because
of the way I wore my
shorts there's no re-
spect for anybodyy who
played back then."
Some of his play-
ers, however, have
already gotten their


hands on the tapes.
"Coach [Darren] Hertz showed us a
little film, it was funny," Corey Brewer
said. "He could shoot though. He knew
about shooting. I don't know about
passing though."
What would Donovan say if he
was coaching the college version of
himself?
Brewer began cracking up as he was
giving his answer.
"Be unselfish," he said with a robust
laugh.


McDonald undergoes surgery to repair ACL, should be ready for Fall practice


FOOTBALL, from page 20

Mincey, who watched the game .on televi-
sion. "They were the better team, but they
just weren't focused. It was a lack of focus
because I've seen them play better games.
The guys looked undisciplined."
So far this season, the Gators have been
sharp following bye weeks. After his first
bye, Meyer implemented a retooled, basic


offense that helped defeat Georgia 14-10.
After his second, Meyer orchestrated a 34-
7 pounding of Florida State.
Another thing that bids well for UF is
morale. After reaching a bitter low after
the South Carolina loss, the win over the
Seminoles has breathed new energy into
the team.
"There's a lot of energy, a lot of juice
in the program," Meyer said. "I've been
involved in programs when you lose that


last game and you have to sit around for
a month and get ready to go play. I think
momentum, when you deal with 18-to-22-
year-olds and 41-year-olds, is an impor-
tant thing."

MCDONALD OUT UNTIL AUGUST: Defensive
end Ray McDonald underwent surgery
on the ACL in his right knee on Monday.
McDonald had already undergone surgery
to fix a partial tear of the same ACL after


injuring it against Tennessee.
McDonald also severely injured the
ACL in his left knee against Florida State.
He will have to undergo surgery on that
ligament as well, delaying his return to the
Gators until August.
"I feel bad for him because he had great
potential and he went down," Mincey
said. "But things happen for a reason, so
you just have to take it in stride and work
with what you got and keep going."'


After struggling this year, UF's offensive line will go through a major transformation


RECRUIT from page 20


a commitment from defensive tackle
Brandon Antwine of Garland, Texas
according to Scout.com.
"[I was impressed with] every-
thing combined," Barrie said. "The
academics, the people there it's
really a family atmosphere. I just
loved it."
A three-star prospect, Barrie
chose UF ahead of, Michigan,
Tennessee and Notre Dame. He was
also scheduled to visit Florida State
this month, but canceled his visit.
With five senior offensive line-
men graduating, including starters
Mike Degory, Lance Butler, Randy
Hand and Tavares Washington, the
UF is desperate for help up front.
"They're going to need some
people to come in and provide
depth, and I think he's certainly big
enough to do that," said Scout.com
recruiting analyst Scott Kennedy.
How soon he'll play should
depend on his ability to learn UF's
blocking schemes, something the
linemen struggled with this year.
"I think he's definitely intelligent
enough," Berkeley head coach Frank
Sullivan said. 'It's just a matter of
finding a place for him right away,
which is sometimes hard."
UF has received verbal commit-


ments from three other offensive
linemen: Lawrence Marsh, Maurice
Hurt and five-star recruit Carl
Johnson. UF will look to sign at least
six, possibly seven offensive line-
man this spring, Kennedy said.
"It wouldn't surprise me to see
them try and get seven, and try and
play a couple early and redshirt
some of the other ones and get some
class separation," Kennedy said.
"But I don't think there have been
a lot of great offensive lineman the
past couple of years compared to
this year. This has just been a great
year for offensive lineman."
Barrie said he thinks he will wind
up playing tackle, but Kennedy said
Barrie has the size and frame to play
any of the offensive line positions.
"I feel like I am pretty balanced
at pass blocking and run-blocking,"
Barrie said. "I just want to work as
hard as I can."
UF is in the running for several
of the top offensive line recruits in
the nation, including three five-star
prospects and a trio of offensive line-
man from St. Thomas Aquinas High
in Fort Lauderdale who they could
possibly come as a package-deal.
UF's class is currently ranked
fourth in the nation by Scout.comr
and fifth by Rivals.com. Players
cannot officially sign unti Feb. 1
and can change their commitment
before then.

Florida: Joakim Noah So., 6'11" 227 pounds, 9.9 ppg., 5.0 rpg.
In recent games, Noah has proven that he has the ability to score on the
break and on the interior while making the occasional jumper. His free throw
form isn't exactly stellar, but he's improving there as well.

Providence: Herbert Hill, Jr. 6'10", 230 pounds, 9.6 ppg, 5.6 rpg
Noah may see a near-likeness staring him back in the face. Hill's physique
and statistics are nearly identical to Noah's. Like Noah, Hill only starting to
see significant action in his second season, but the Friars schedule this year
hasn't challenged him much.
ADVANTAGE: FLORIDA




Florida: Corey Brewer, So. 6'8" 185 pounds, 14.0 ppg, 6.5 rpg.
The Corey Brewer Show was on full-display Saturday, as he scored a career-high 25
points in addition to five steals and a series of highlight-reel plays that
monopolized the SportsCenter highlight package later that night.
Providence: Geoff McDermott, Fr. 6'7" 230 pounds, 9.8 ppg, 6.8 rpg
This is easily the biggest mismatch of the contest. Brewer should be able to
consistently toy with McDermott and get to the basket at will. Brewer's long reach
and quickness should also confound McDermott on the defensive end of the floor.

Florida: Al Horford So., 6'8" 235 pounds, 12.0 ppg.,n 7.0 rpg
Horford showed off his versatility against Central Florida, coming up with four steals
in addition to a career-high 17 points. UF coach Billy Donovan has given him free
reign to lead the Gators fast break, and he has continued to be a force in the low
post, both offensively and defensively.
Providence: Randall Hanke, So. 6'11" 230 pounds, 16.0 ppg, 6.2 rpg
Like Horford, Hanke has put up big numbers against big-time teams, dropping 26
points against Georgetown, 17 points on Syracuse and 13 against West Virginia in
the Big East Tournament last season. His numbers are up again this year. He lacks
Horford's quickness but makes up for it with a 3-inch height advantage.
ADVANTAGE: T R- -;



-J- J _'-' J- ',L; UUfAJR
Florida: Lee Humphrey, Jr. 6'2" 192 pounds, 12.8 ppg, .553 3PT%
Humphrey continues to do what he does best: shoot from behind the arc. He has
nailed at least three from long distance in all seven of UF's season-opening wins, and
his perimeter defense continues to be top-notch.
Providence: Donnie McGrath, Sr. 6'4" 190 pounds, 13.2 ppg, 2.2 apg
Humphrey may meet his shooting match, however, when he squares off against
McGrath. McGrath tied an NCAA record last season when he made all nine of his
3-point attempts in a 98-79 win against Virginia. His two-inch height advantage
should also come in handy. He should see time at the point as well.
ADVANTAGE: PROVIDENCE






Florida: Taurean Green, So. 6'0" 177 pounds, 14.5 ppg, 5.1 apg
Green's consecutive free throw streak is nearing 30, and he produced a career-high nine
assists against UCF. Donovan knew he wasn't going to score 23 points every night like he
did in New York, and the Gators haven't needed him to.
Providence: Sharaud Curry, Fr. 5'10" 165, 7.2 ppg, 3.0 apg
Green thrived in his matchups against Justin Gray and Gerry McNamara, and they were
experienced seniors. Curry is a freshman who surprisingly gives up height to Green, and if
there is another game for Green to go off, this is it.
77 ,TAGE : '' ..


Donovan joked Monday that he wouldn't be surprised if the fans from his alma mater booed him. That's likely the only damage anyone from Providence will be able to do to the Gators. While you can't
underestimate a team playing on its home floor, the Friars were decimated by the loss of Ryan Gomes to the NBA and the loss of Dwight Brewington who quit the team before the season. Now the Friars are one
of the least talented teams in the new Big East.

Dotson provides spark in UF win


By NICK ZACCARDI
Alligator Writer

When forwards Brittany Davis or
Dalila Eshe need a breather, Marshae
Dotson is there.
When guards Sha Brooks, Sarah
Lowe or Danielle Santos come out,
Marshae Dotson is ready and waiting.
Only a freshman, Dotson has im-
pressed UF coach Carolyn Peck enough
to become the Gators' biggest threat off
the bench.
In that role, Dotson thrived Monday
night, scoring 10 points and collecting
six rebounds in the Gators' 74-57 win
against South Alabama at the O'Connell
Center.
While Davis (20 points) and Eshe (9
points and seven rebounds) continued to
put up lofty numbers, Dotson, a forward,
again contributed in a meaningful way.
"I pretty much know my role," said
Dotson, who averaged 18.9 points per
game as a senior at Mifflin High in
Columbus, Ohio. "It's not bad. I take
notes on the bench, watching the girls to
know what I have to do once I get into
the game. I'm always ready."
In just 12 minutes on the court for UF
(6-1), Dotson acted as a force down low,
but also headed a full-court press and
ran the point on a fast break. She even
whipped a baseball pass half the length
of the court on an inbounds pass to a
streaking Santos for an easy bucket.
"I just had to come in ready," Dotson
said. "I had to prove to my team that I
could help out also."
On the season, Dotson has averaged
7.1 points per game, leading all bench
players, while averaging 15 minutes per
contest, seventh on the team.
"She has a great knack for the ball,
especially on the defensive end," Peck
said.
"Marshae has the ability to play like
a guard."
But in an impressive first year,
Saturday's game against Temple was a
low point for Dotson.
She only played seven minutes, going
1-7 from the field in the 58-55 victory.
"That Temple game, I couldn't really
get a lot of shots off," Dotson said. "I was
staying away from the contact. Coach
told me to just go in strong. So I took
notes from that game and brought it here

UF MEN'S BASKETBALL

'Billy the Kid' returns to site of collegiate glory


By DAN TREAT
S Alligator Writer

The last time Billy Donovan strode onto
the court in Providence, R.I., things were a
little different.
Instead of coming out with dress shoes
and a tie, Donovan was sporting white
high tops and shorts that barely reached
halfway down his thighs.
Known at the time as "Billy the Kid,"
Donovan and his 3-point marksmanship


led the Friars to their one and only Final
Four appearance in 1987.
This time around, Donovan will lead
his No. 10 Gators back to his old-stomping
grounds tonight to take on Providence.
"I can honestly say [that was the best
time in my life]," Donovan said. "I know
some people use that as a cliche ... but I
think that is the best time of your life.
"That's the one thing that frustrates
me, that [today's college basketball play-
ers] try to abruptly leave, go to the NBA.


"I can honestly say [that was the
best time in my life]."
Billy Donovan
UF men's basketball coach

Boy, I think they miss out on some of the
experience."
The trip will mark just the second time
Donovan has been back to the school since
he graduated.


It wasn't always a perfect match.
Donovan was unhappy with his role on
the team his first two years at Providence
and was considering a transfer when
Providence hired now-Louisville coach
Rick Pitino.
Donovan admitted to Pitino that he tru-
ly enjoyed being at Providence, so Pitino
gave him an ultimatum do what the
new coach says, and Donovan will have

Tackle chooses


Gators, not USC

* GATORS ALSO GET VERBAL COMMITMENT
FROM TAMPA OFFENSIVE LINEMAN.

By BRYAN JONES
Alligator Writer

The Gators may not be playing for a national title, but they
beat out Southern California in one respect Monday.
Defensive lineman Brandon Antwine, ranked as the No.
16 defensive tackle in the nation by Scout.com and No. 20 by
Rivals.com, made a verbal commitment to the Gators Monday
Antwine had narrowed his choices down to UF and USC be-
Ifore ultimately reaching his decision.
"I feel that it is the best fit for me," Antwine told the Alligator
Monday night. "There's not too much going on, not a lot of dis-
tractions, and I'll be able to come in and do everything I need to
do to help my team win the [Southeastern
2006 Gators Conference] championship."
ReOCruifing Considered an excellent run stopper
with some pass rushing skills, Antwine
said with hard work he can wind up right behind Marcus
Thomas on the depth chart, should Thomas return for his se-
nior season.
"Basically, you know, if you are in a real place that you
don't really feel comfortable, I don't really believe that you
are going to be able to play your hardest and give it your all,"
Antwine said. "As soon as stepped foot on Florida, the players,
the coaches, the atmosphere, it really felt like home. And you
know, I've been playing well while I've been at home, so I just
want to play in an atmosphere that feels like home."
Meanwhile, another recruit on the other side of the ball will
get an early look at the Gators.
Jim Barrie will be at Raymond James Stadium to see UF take
on Iowa in the Outback Bowl.
He'll be rooting for his future school.

Iowa blowout still fresh in QB's mind


By LOUIS ANASTASIS
Alligator Staff Writer

Ron Zook's press conference
still rings in the head of Gator
Nation like a high-pitched night-
mare of a noise.
The Gators were out-coached.
They were out-prepared. They
were embarrassed.
"I apologize to the Gator
fans," Zook said after his 37-17
loss to Iowa in the 2004 Outback
Bowl. "It is my responsibility to
get this team ready to play, and
we weren't ready to play today."
So let's fast-forward two years
to the present. With a rematch
against the Hawkeyes, scheduled
for Jan. 2, will something change?
Will anything be different?
Perhaps it is just coach-speak,
but current UF coach Urban
Meyer says he will do everything
in his power to ensure his play-
ers actually care about this bowl
game.
"I've heard them talk about it
and I've talked about it," Meyer
said of the Iowa loss two years
ago. "You have a responsibility to
play a bowl game the right way,
and I'm looking forward to the
challenge."
If quarterback Chris Leak
pipes up during the next month,
Meyer may have to do little in
terms of motivation. Leak, who-
completed 22 of 41 passes in the
loss, remembers the collapse all
too well.
"We know the mistakes we
did back then and we can't have
that happen again ... it was a to-
tal lack of effort from the whole

Rcycle TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2005 Cultural aides boost students By DIANA MAZZELLA Alligator Writer dmazzella@aligator.org Some directors in the Dean of Students Office offer UF students scholarships, a place to study and a shoulder to lean on when they have a problem. A graduate assistant balances class while working to do the same for Asian American students. On UF's horizon is a Multicultural and Diversity Affairs director who will work alongside the other directors. Here is a look at the existing staff. Speaking up for sexuality Tamara Cohen, the first Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Affairs director at UP, has been in her position for about a year and already is seeing changes. Cohen said her office in Graham Hall is a safe envsoaent in which students can discuss sexuality and g r eand is a resource where those writing papers on these issues can find information. She advises Pride Student Union but explained that the student group organizes its own programs. "I think that a lot of strength in programming comes from the students," she said. She said she organizes voluntary sensitivity training for faculty and staff and has already done some training for the staff of the Student Health Care Center and Reitz Union. She also expanded the Friends program, which is for students, faculty and staff who want to learn how to better support LGBT people at UP. But she said there are still changes to be made. "There certainly are a lot of people that want to see a center (for LGBT) on campus," Cohen said. This would be a place similar to the Institute of Black Culture and the Institute of Hispanic-Latino Cultures, which would make the office more visible to the campus, she said.

By JESSICA RIFFEL Alligator Writer jrifftoalligator.org UF students are forfeiting time off this Winter Break to help hurricane victims in New Orleans, and they need help. Gators for Hurricane Relief is seeking volunteers for a trip with Anti-Gravity Campus Ministry at First Lutheran Church in Gainesville to aid relief efforts in the city battered by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. UF student Justin Farge, who helped start the relief club, wanted to quit school this semester to help hurricane victims in his hometown. "That wasn't feasible, so I've been dying to get up there and do hurricane relief," Farge said. Farge, a third-year English major, remembered the disbelief and depression he felt after seeing the devastation on teleHurricane vson. F 7g "It was very hard for me to be in Gainesville while I was watching the place where I grew up completely torn apart," Farge said. He was able to volunteer in Gainesville, sorting clothes and food and starting a food fundraiser called the Jambalaya Krewe with his friend, UP student Allan LeBlanc. They were able to raise money for Catholic Relief Charities by selling jambalaya. for $3 a plate at St. Augustine Church on game days, beginning with the Louisiana Tech game. "I decided if I couldn't take a semester off, then I'd do as much around Gainesville as I could," Farge said. But Farge will finally get the chance to directly help victims when he and nine students work in New Orleans from Dec. 27 through Jan. 4. The group will join PRC Compassion, a relief group in association with the Pastors Resource Council. The organization will provide free housing and assign tasks to the students.

4, ALLIGATOR N TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6,2005 Student hailed 'miracle child' after accident By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer dcohen@alligator.org The accident mangled that her bike and left her unconscious last week could have been worse. Anna Rutz could have died. Rutz was riding her bike at the intersection of 13th Street and Southeast Fifth Avenue last Tuesday when she was clipped by a car and crashed onto pavement. She wasn't wearing a helmet. When she arrived at the hospital, she was unconscious. Doctors were worried about severe brain damage. But Rutz woke up Wednesday. She was tied to a Shands hospital bed, and it was about 10 hours after she almost lost her life. "I don't remember the accident," she said. "I'm fine, other than my stitches and my head trauma. I was very, very lucky." Rutz was released from the hospital that aftemoon and attended class Thursday. She said she doesn't remember much other than trying to keep her eyelids open. "I'm living with a miracle child," said Lindsey Taffin, Rutz's roommate. Taffin was in her room studying when a police officer knocked at her door Tuesday night. She was told she might never see her roommate again. Taffin searched her Royal Village apartment for information about Rutz, who is an international student from Germany. "There's no way to prepare for it," Taffin said. She arrived that night at the hospital with a Tweety Bird balloon and candy, not knowing what to expect. urm mussmi / Aigator sran Paramedics strap Anna Rutz into a stretcher after-she was hit by a car while riding her bicycle Nov. 30. e OAD T R RECOVERY She found Rutz hooked up to a breathing tube, immobile and being fed intravenously. "It was tough to see her in that position," Taffin said. Rutz said she wasn't scared when she awoke and found her hands tied to the Shands hospital bed. "I didn't think anything serious had happened," she said, noting that the whole experience seemed surreal. Rutz's other roommate, Yoshimi Kaga, said she got a call right after she finished her shiift at Dragonfly Sushi and Sake Co., the downtown restaurant where she is a server. Rutz said she lost her appetite while recovering, but Kaga, whom she met during her freshman year in the dorms, took care of her by spoonfeeding her homemade curry. "She just complained that she wasn't hungry," Kaga said of Rutz. "You've got to eat something because you are taking your medication." Rutz said authorities called her mother in Germany, and there was a miscommunication that she was in a coma. "They still are all worried, but whatever that's what parents do," she said, noting that her parents now know she is okay Rutz is from Balduinstein, Germany, which she described as a "podunk town" of about 500, where she frequently rode on family biking trips until she moved to Florida at 16. "We're an outdoor kind of family," she said. Her family's helmets were usually in the closet, she said, collecting dust. Though she made it to class the Thursday after she awoke, Rutz said Tim Hussin / Alligator staf Anna Rutz rests her scraped hands on her hospital pants in her apartment Monday night. Friday was a different story: She slept all day "I was caught up in schoolwork, which I really can't say now," she said. Rutz said she is rather athletic, which may have helped her survive. "I guess I must have known how to fall right," she said. She said her knuckles are scabbed, and when she initially sat up, her headache felt like "someone is hitting you with an ax." Because of the accident, Rutz's Trek bicycle needs a new rear wheel, as well as about $30 for lights and, of course, a $40 helmet. "They are really ugly," she said of her new accessories. "Maybe it is just an American thing." But given her experience, the attractiveness of the safety equipment isn't such a big deal. "Yep, I'm buying them," she said. *e 0 *e "Copyrighted Materia I Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" 1 0 0

By JENNI BENNETT Alligator Contributing Writer Combining seduction with a few musical octaves, The Sedoctaves have arrived. Though The Sedoctaves is UF's first female a cappella group, founding members Stefanie Roberts, Jenna Tuttle and Lisa Musselman have been singing together before they came to the university. "The three of us attended Berkeley Preparatory School together in Tampa," Roberts said. "We sang in a female a cappella group in high school, and we agreed to start a new one here." After receiving permission to form on campus in October, the trio began searching for talented college students with a passion for singing. The resulting group consists of nine freshman and sophomore women who sing without any accompaniment except their own handclaps and finger snaps. Their concerts will include popular songs from artists such as Kelly Clarkson, Mariah Carey, The Beatles, Billy Joel and U2. Each song will be arranged into separate vocal parts for each girl to sing. All of the arrangements are written by Roberts and the founders' high school music teacher, Rob Redei. The trio credit him with inspiring them to sing. "Mr. Redei never seems to stop," Musselman said. "In the time I have known him, he has written countless a cappella arrangements and even a musical for children." Along with being a founder, Roberts is also the group's music director, teaching new members how to make arrangeOn ments of the notes in songs. "So far, they were able to sight-read two pages of music in less than 15 minutes, so they shouldn't have any trouble putting their own creative spin on the well-known songs," she said. The Sedoctaves have set goals, including perfecting at least 10 pop songs, performing on campus or on special occasions and eventually recording a demo CD. In February, they hope .to have a Valentine's Day serenading service to raise money by singing love songs at a private event or concert. "Forming this group is exactly what I've wanted to help be a part of since I stepped foot on this campus," Tuttle said. "It's just what this school needs -four-part harmonies echoing in the halls."

6, ALLIGATOR U TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2005 We were thinking about just calling it a week at the Editorial Board, but thrashing Student Government yesterday got us so pumped that we just had to give it another go. And so we continue on to the second of our three-part romp through the annals of bureaucratic illegitimacy, today focusing on the goofs and gaffes of the elder brother of the eternally corrupt SG -our very own UF administration. So grab a spoon and get ready to dig into this week's second edition of. D arts &eva-1w We begin by slapping a can't-you-find-a-better-way-towaste-money DART onto the forehead of the UF Office of University Relations for their ever-changing marketing campaign. After blowing nearly $85,000 to add the line "a lifetime experience" under the UF logo this Spring, University Relations decided to toss out the (relatively) old slogan in favor of the new "foundation for the Gator Nation." The price tag on that one? Including the slogan, some newspaper ads and one very cheesy commercial to air during football games, the total comes to nearly $500,000. We'd like to think that the university has better places to spend a half million dollars. Like hiring more professors to match UF's growing student body. Or speeding the renovation of the library. Or doing something about this damn WebMail. Which brings us to our next if-you're-going-to-break-ourballs-then-make-sure-you-know-what-you're-talking-about DART to UF officials for the lack of a resolution to the problem of overloaded e-mail servers. First, they tell us that we can't forward our UF e-mail to other e-mail accounts. Then, when UF students use the online WebMail system instead, officials discover that they don't have the bandwidth to support the heavier traffic. They respond that WebMail was never supposed to be the primary means of accessing e-mail, but we've never heard that before. And in the meantime, we're left without a means to access online class announcements. We at the Editorial Board are sick of it. But our nausea over this hassle doesn't compare to how sick we are of the hypocrisy over alcohol that's been floating around campus. So we throw a what's-good-for-the-goose-is-goodfor-the-gander DART to UT President Berie Machen for this year's new and improved alcohol policy Although Machen has prohibited alcohol sponsorship at Stephen C. O'Connell Center events, banned alcoholic messages from UT programming and ended the raucous "Dnk Bitch Friday" radio program on Lex and Terry, he has choicely allowed wealthy alumni to continue boozing it up in the press box on gamedays. If we're not going to be allowed to drink with the big boys, the least the university could do is provide us with a refreshing beverage. We fling a don't-you-know-that-Coke-is-awesomebecause-it-is-the-symbol-of-America-and-used-to-contain-cocaine DART to UF administration for dropping Coke's contract and signing up with Pepsi. Students were never asked for their input, and now we're all left with 20 oz. bottles of the sickly sweet stuff. And Pepsi doesn't even make juice. Finally, we feel compelled to toss another we-know-you'refrom-Utah-but-tha's-not-how-we-roll-in-Floida DART to Bernie Machen for his inability to produce documents in the Grapski vs. Florida Blue Key fiasco. When instructor Charlie Grapski requested all of Machen's emails on a specific date, Machen stonewalled, claiming that his e-mails were indexed by subject rather than date. But he didn't stop there. In court, he went so far as to argue that the e-mails in question had nothing to do with official university business and that there was no proof that Machen's staff ever received Grapski's request. At the very least, Machen's actions have the appearance of impropriety and bad faith. At the very most, Machen could actually be aiding in the Florida Blue Key-SG conspiracy. But at least he's giving us something to write about.

Op minion ALLIGATOR www.alIigator.org/opinions -L / -Williams should live to do good deeds f America has any faith in its ability to reform crininals, "Tookie" Williams, who is scheduled to be executed, ought to be pardoned entirely. On Dec. 13, Williams will face lethal injection for his conviction in the 1979 murders of four men. So why pardon this seemingly ruthless co-founder of the notorious Crips gang? Because for the last 24 years that he has been on death row, he's committed enough good deeds to earn himself a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. After years of reading and self-reflection, Williams claims to be a changed man, basing his life on "faith and redemption." Since several appeals have failed, his life literally now lies in the hands of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is holding a private clemency hearing Thursday. But there is more at stake than whether or not Williams should live. We need to ask whether or not good acts should exempt criminals from the death penalty, or whether this barbaric form of punishment is even necessary. There are several problems with capital punishment on judicious and moral levels. Inevitably, having a death penalty means that someone innocent will be executed. In fact, a 1993 case in Texas is under review because after the execution of the so-called "guilty" man, witnesses started to change their stories. It is unacceptable that even one innocent person should be killed in lieu of a system "working" the majority of the time. The death penalty is ethically wrong as well. There's something inherently immoral about allowing individuals to judge their equals to determine whether a person should live or die. If we are all equal, as democracy deems us to be, why do some have the right to determine the death of another? In many instances, the death penalty seems to be the rash judgment of those inAmy Elsinger capable of forgiveness for a single Speaking Out mistake. I am not advocating that we simply let criminals run wild in the streets after serving five years of a life sentence and being released for "good behavior." I agree that some criminals need to be behind bars for life. Yet time and again, state reports show that it is, in fact, more cost-efficient to keep a convict on death row for his or her entire life than it is to execute him or her. Lastly, there is the possibility of reform. Wouldn't it be better to keep Williams alive, allowing him to continue his good deeds to the nation by preaching about the negative affects of joining gangs? Killing Williams now would only perpetuate his martyrdom and complete his portrait as a victim of a failed system. Williams has proven that prison can work and that enough time on death row and off the streets really can change the perspective of a criminal. Granting him a pardon would change an impending failure to an example of success. Has America really grown so coldhearted that we follow through with the execution of a changed man? What purpose does his execution serve other than to say that, once convicted, criminals have no hope of clemency no matter how they try to redeem themselves? Gov. Schwarzenegger has a weighty decision to make. Yet, he also has a chance to make an example of Williams by showing the good of an often-scrutinized prison system. Letting Williams and other reformed criminals like him live means granting them a chance to make a positive change in society as a whole. Amy Eisinger is an English and classics junior.

LibeZ--rals not ast Friday, I braved the postThanksgiving crowds and headed into my local Barnes & Noble. I was just ambling through the store when I came across John Gibson's "The War on Christmas: How the Liberal Plot to Ban the Sacred Christian Holiday is Worse Than You Thought." Now, I'm pretty liberal, but I'd never heard of such a plot. And I have my own newspaper column, so you'd think they'd send me a memo or something. There is, of course, no "war on Christmas." If we liberals were that organized, we'd probably be able to win a presidential election every once in a while. It does make for good politics, though. The Bill O'Reillys and Sean Hannitys of the world bring it up specifically to froth at the mouth about it. They cite some town that had to remove a nativity scene from its city hall or some store with "Happy Holidays!" on its banners instead of "Merry Christmas." Then they explain that this is just the first step in the grand liberal plan. First, they get rid of Christmas, or at least get the religion out of it. Once it's gone, they'll have a moch easier time pushing their radical social agenda, which includes outrageous things like allowing women to choose, gay rights or stem cell research. But let's get real; does anyone actually want to get rid of Christmas? Of course not. Christmas, like sex and pttngwa r o Craig Colbrook pizza, has enU-Wire tered a rarified air of universal acceptance. I love it, at least. I love the gravitas of the church services that day, I love spending time with my family, and I love exchanging gifts over TNT's 24hour "A Christmas Story" marathon. If anything, liberals are looking to protect the religion of Christmas and all the other holidays this season. We're looking to make sure that Jews, Muslims and other religious minorities aren't overwhelmed by our twomonth long celebration of Christmas. That's what the whole concept of the separation of church and state is about. Now, admittedly, some people go too far with this ideal, and there's no way to please everyone. But if a store changes its banners to say "Happy Holidays," that at least doesn't exclude anyone, and who the hell cares what Wal-Mart or Sears say about religion anyway? It's so minor that I have to assume Bill and Sean only talk about it so they don't have to talk about things that are actually important. (Like, oh, I don't know, maybe the real war?) Of course, there is a tiny kernel of truth in Gibson's book. Christmas is becoming more commercial and less religious. That even disturbs some of us liberals. A great deal of us are n Christrnas Catholic, after all, so we'd like to see the birthday of our Lord receive a little more reverence and a little less bargain hunting. I'm sure the orthodoxy of all the other religions would like the same for their respective holidays. There are two things that the "war on Christmas" ideology overlooks, though. First of all, reverence for the holidays has to begin at home. If the family doesn't look beyond the gifts and parties, no display in the town square is going to be able to replace that lost respect. Secondly, if you're really concerned about the commercialization of Christmas, you'd better take another look at free-market ideology. It's the conservative devotion to laissez-faire business strategies that have led to extended holiday shopping hours and month-long advertising blitzes. We need to do a better job balancing capitalism with our ethics, and blaming liberals for the problem isn't going to help. So, it seems to me that the "war on Christmas" is just a bogeyman created to sell more copies of "The O'Reilly Factor for Kids," not a major concern for our country. Then again, maybe I'm just faking my opinion long enough to get a TiVo out of this holiday season. Craig Colbrook attends the University of Illinois. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 7 Evolution based on observable fossil records I've read the letters about evolution and "intelligent design" in the Alligator for quite some time now, but Thursday's letter about how the "Earth's age is as contestable as evolution" has to be the kicker. The "intelligent design" theory is based on the Bible, not on science; the entire basis of its hypothesis comes from the Bible, not from observations of the world and observations of the fossil record. The pseudo-science that is both "intelligent design" and Young Earth Creationism (YEC) is rejected in the scientific community because it is pseudo-science. There is no real proof of either "intelligent design" or YEC, and every type of so-called "evidence" has been refuted so many times by the scientific community that it is now laughed at for being so ridiculous. I once was intrigued by the idea of YEC, which is the idea that Genesis 1 of the Bible tells the literal creation of the Earth. This would mean that the Earth is actually only around 6,000 years old. I researched YEC because I felt like challenging my beliefs. Instead, I found that every single explanation of YEC fails when you apply common sense to it -just as every explanation for "intelligent design" fails when you apply common sense to it. The flood did not create the fossil record; it was created over millions and millions of years by organisms that inhabited this earth tong before the Bible was ever written. It's a real shame that creationists have to make up fake scientific theories to validate their interpretations of the Bible. Evolution is accepted throughout the scientific community because it is the best explanation for the observations that have been made on this planet. It is a theory, but gravity and relativity are also theories.

8, ALLIGATOR E TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6,2005 Course airms to teach perspective on disabi ities M STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN ACTIVITIES THAT SIMULATE DISABILITIES. By BOBBY KEITH Alligator Contributing Writer Students looking for a unique course might find an exceptional one next semester. The UF course EEX 3312, or "Exceptional People in School and Society," is all about being different, said Mary Ann Nelson, the class professor. "We are a school of diversity," Nelson said. "This class personalizes all the things that make us different." The class is a general elective offered through the College of Education. It is designed to make its students aware of people with disabilities and teach them about issues relating to human diversity. The class is best known for its on-cam-. pus "simulations," which are employed to help students better understand the struggles handicapped people face in everyday life. They include the "blindwalk," which involves students being forced to walk across campus blindfolded, and Challenge Day, which brought this semester's students to the Reitz Union game room to play video games or bowl without using their hands. These simulations are not designed to make the students "pretend they have a disability," Nelson said, but to simply "give them a glimpse" of what having one is like. "We've learned that society doesn't really have many accommodations for people with disabilities, but it should," said Vanessa Vasquez, a health science junior and student in the class. The class also has a 20-hour volunteer requirement that must be met during the semester, which has to be spent with a group or individual who differs significantly from the student. Vasquez fulfilled her 20 hours by volunteering at Shands UF .Hospital, but there were a E variety of venues chosen by students this time, such as reading to the blind or working with the local Boys & Girls Club. To set an example for her students, Nelson said she also volunteers each semester. This Fall she spent 20 hours tutoring a foreign student in English. However, neither the activities nor the course deals entirely with "exceptional people," or those who are mentally or physically handicapped. The curriculum gives equal weight to all groups in one's community based on race, gender, religion or sexual orientation. Nelson also brings in a few guest speakers throughout semester to further illustrate these issues. "This class creates a forum, where students can learn and discuss the questions they have about these topics," Nelson said. There were about 400 students enrolled this semester, but Nelson said the number likely will grow in the Spring when the class begins to count as both science and international requirements toward graduation. Not all groups have dedicated director position DIR ECTORS, from page 1 Partner benefits and discrimination are some of the issues she discusses with university officials and the press, Cohen said. Anyone at UF can go to her to discuss problems with harassment, roommates, finances or professors. She said she knows that students have problems with professors and TAs because of their sexuality or gender identity, though she believes that many don't choose to go to her for advice. In the dark about a director Though Asian American students have no director dedicated solely to their needs, Natalia Leal is the first graduate assistant devoted to Asian Pacific American Affairs. She took the position at the beginning of the semester and works more than her prescribed 20 hours per week. She spends most of her time working to solidify a programfor Asian American affairs and attends student events as often as she can, she said. She wants to get a mentoring program established for Asian American students and encourage joint participation between Asian and South Asian student events. "I think I spend a lot of my time right now figuring out how to get to dining out niha r things done," she said. A hub for help Students tramped through Leticia Martinez's office for supplies as she described the challenges and joys of her position as the director of the Institute of Hispanic-Latino Cultures. Martinez said the main goal of the institute, also called La Casita, is like that of other multicultural programs: educate the broader UF community about the minority's culture and serve minority students. The students who come. in, sometimes more than 1,000 in the busiest week, are looking for help with individual or group projects. She said not all students who visit are Hispanic, but it's hard to tell because La Casita does not track students' ethnicities when they visit the 80-year-old house on University Avenue. She said the La Casita staff includes herself, a graduate assistant, a secretary and 17 work-study students. Often, when students and groups come to her, "they 'don't need our money; they need our help." Martinez's inbox fills up with about 100 e-mails a day, she said. "They don't know where to go to, but they trust coming to La Casita," Martinez said. She said she wants to see the La Casita undergraduate mentoring program expand. Strengthening minority communication Institute of Black Culture Director Darius Bost said he hopes that the UF community realizes it is "a place of black culture for everyone." He said most white students he sees at the institute are there for a class. "I would like to change that," he said. Bost said it seems that a stigma is attached to spaces like the institute and minority events as being just for minorities. Minority groups seem to have the problem of ethnic groups within the minority not working together, he said. An example of different ethnicities within a minority would be Jamaicans and Haitians. "There are cultural issues between groups that need to be resolved," he said. He said he is often disappointed with the turnout of multicultural events. "That's the hard part .get the most bang for your buck but also reach a large amount of students," he said.

Wayne Reitz Union University of Florida 352-392-2378 Relief group seeks help HUR RICAN E, from page 1 Farge said they will most likely aid with cleanup and repairs, but the situation and needs change daily. "You just have to be ready to work," he said. In a separate trip, about seven UF students from First Lutheran Church's campus ministry plan to drive to New Orleans as soon as exams are completed. Jay Winters, a pastor-in-training at the church, is leading the group to New Orleans to work at St. Paul Church and its school from Dec.16 through Dec. 21. "We're going to be delivering presents for an entire Lutheran grade school," Winters said. "And we'll be helping the parishioners rebuild." He said they will also spend time with the children in preschool through eighth grade classrooms. "We wanted to do a school project because children tend to get overlooked," Winters said. He said response to the trip was enthusiastic. "As soon as the idea was pitched, everybody who could was willing to spend a part of their Christmas break serving others, and in turn make Christmas more special for themselves," Winters said. Farge said that additional volunteers are needed. "There's lots of people who are still suffering, and things aren't going to be close to normal for a long time," Farge said. "Any way we can help is desperately needed." Anyone interested in joining Farge's group can contact him by e-mail at fargie03@ufl.edu.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6,2005 M ALLIGATOR, 17 Donovan owes much of his success to former Friars coach, mentor Pitino isA i-' Courtesy of Providence sports information Billy Donovan shows off his ball-handling skill as a guard at Providence in the mid-1980s. Donovan scored 20.6 points per game his senior season and led the Friars to the Final Four. BASKETBALLfrom page 20 the greatest experience of his life. "Boy was that the truth," Donovan said. "There were a lot of variables that went into me being a better player. When [you're] young and immature, you don't think you're being given an opportunity. But looking back on it right now, my first two years at Providence, I wouldn't have played me either. I was probably a detriment and wouldn't help the team win." His final two years, however, he was more than helpful, scoring nearly 21 points per game and leading the Friars to the Final Four. And he owed much of that success to Pitino. "There's no question that when Coach Pitino came to Providence that he had a great effect on my basketball life, on my career, on my personal life," Donovan said. "There's no question I thought about 'what if he didn't come in? What happens if I left?' There's just an unbelievable chain of events that happened that I'm very blessed and fortunate to be where I'm at right now." One question does remain, however. What was up with those shoris? "I won't show the [players] anything," Donovan said. "Because those guys, when you start talking about 1987 or '86, those guys imnmediately -because of the way I wore my shorts -there's no respect for anybody who played back then." Some of his players, however, have Donovan already gotten their hands on the tapes. "Coach [Darren] Hertz showed us a little film, it was funny," Corey Brewer said. "He could shoot though. He knew about shooting. I don't know about passing though." What would Donovan say if he was coaching the college version of himself? Brewer began cracking up as he was giving his answer. "Be unselfish," he said with a robust laugh. McDonald undergoes surgery to repair ACL, should be ready for Fall practice FOOTBALL, from page 20 Mincey, who watched the game on television. "They were the better team, but they just weren't focused. It was a lack of focus because I've seen them play better games. The guys looked undisciplined." So far this season, the Gators have been sharp following bye weeks. After his first bye, Meyer implemented a retooled, basic offense that helped defeat Georgia 14-10. After his second, Meyer orchestrated a 347 pounding of Florida State. Another thing that bids well for UF is morale. After reaching a bitter low after the South Carolina loss, the win over the Seminoles has breathed new energy into the team. "There's a lot of energy, a lot of juice in the program," Meyer said. "I've been involved in programs when you lose that last game and you have to sit around for a month and get ready to go play. I think momentum, when you deal with 18-to-22year-olds and 41-year-olds, is an important thing." MCDONALD OUT UNTIL AUGUST: Defensive end Ray McDonald underwent surgery on the ACL in his right knee on Monday. McDonald had already undergone surgery to fix a partial tear of the same ACL after injuring it against Tennessee. McDonald also severely injured the ACL in his left knee against Florida State. He will have to undergo surgery on that ligament as well, delaying his return to the Gators until August. "I feel bad for him because he had great potential and he went down," Mincey said. "But things happen for a reason, so you just have to take it in stride and work with what you got and keep going." After struggling this year, UF's offensive line will go through a major transformation RECRUITfrom page 20 a commitment from defensive tackle Brandon Antwine of Garland, Texas according to Scout.com. "[I was impressed with] everything combined," Barrie said. "The academics, the people there -it's really a family atmosphere. I just loved it." A three-star prospect, Barrie chose UF ahead of, Michigan, Tennessee and Notre Dame. He was also scheduled to visit Florida State this month, but canceled his visit. With five senior offensive linemen graduating, including starters Mike Degory, Lance Butler, Randy Hand and Tavares Washington, the UF is desperate for help up front. "They're going to need some people to come in and provide depth, and I think he's certainly big enough to do that," said Scout.com recruiting analyst Scott Kennedy How soon he'll play should depend on his ability to leam UF's blocking schemes, something the linemen struggled with this year. "I think he's definitely intelligent enough," Berkeley head coach Frank Sullivan said. 'It's just a matter of finding a place for him right away, which is sometimes hard." UF has received verbal commitments from three other offensive linemen: Lawrence Marsh, Maurice Hurt and five-star recruit Carl Johnson. UF will look to sign at least six, possibly seven offensive lineman this spring, Kenedy said. -It wouldn't surprise me to see them try and get seven, and try and play a couple early and redshirt some of the other ones and get some class separation," Kennedy said. "But I don't think there have been a lot of great offensive lineman the past couple of years compared to this year. This has just been a great year for offensive lineman." Barrie said he thinks he will wind up playing tackle, but Kennedy said Barrie has the size and frame to play any of the offensive line positions. "I feel like I am pretty balanced at pass blocking and run-blocking," Barrie said. "I just want to work as hard as I can." UF is in the running for several of the top offensive line recruits in the nation, including three five-star prospects and a trio of offensive lineman from St. Thomas Aquinas High in Fort Lauderdale who they could possibly come as a package deal. UF's class is currently ranked fourth in the nation by Scout.com and fifth by Rivals.com. Players cannot officially sign unti Feb. 1 and can change their commitment before then. Tim Casey/ Alligator Staff UF linemen Steve Rissler and Mike Degory block FSU's Andre Fluellen during the Gators' win against FSU. With four starting offensive linemen graduating, signing linemen is a top priority for UF.

18, ALLIGATOR R TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6,2005 --J Florida: Joakim Noah -So., 6'11" 227 pounds, 9.9 ppg., 5.0 rpg. In recent games, Noah has proven that he has the ability to score on the break and on the interior while making the occasional jumper. His free throw form isn't exactly stellar, but he's improving there as well. Providence: Herbert Hill, Jr. 610", 230 pounds, 9.6 ppg, 5.6 rpg Noah may see a near-likeness staring him back in the fdce. Hill's physique and statistics are nearly identical to Noah's. Like Noah, Hill only starting to see significant action in his second season, but the Friars schedule this year hasn't challenged him much. Florida: Corey Brewer, So. 68" 185 pounds, 14.0 ppg, 6.5 rpg The Corey Brewer Show was on full-display Saturday, as he scored a career-high 25 points in addition to five steals and a series of highlight-reel plays that monopolized the SportsCenter highlight package later that night. Providence: Geoff McDermott, Fr. 67" 230 pounds, 9.8 ppg, 6.8 rpg This is easily the biggest mismatch of the contest. Brewer should be able to consistently toy with McDermott and get to the basket at will. Brewer's long reach and quickness should also confound McDermott on the defensive end of the floor. A D" .r! I c Donovan joked Monday that he wouldn't be surprised if the fans from his alma mater booed him. That's likely the only damage anyone from Providence will be able to do to the Gators. While you can't underestimate a team playing on its home floor, the Friars were decimated by the loss of Ryan Gomes to the NBA and the loss of Dwight Brewington who quit the team before the season. Now the Friars are one of the least talented teams in the new Big East.

K-Mart) 332-3,237 Florida: Al Horford -So., 6'8" 235 pounds, 12.0 ppg.,n 7.0 rpg Horford showed off his versatility against Central Florida, coming up with four steals in addition to a career-high 17 points. UF coach Billy Donovan has given him free reign to lead the Gators fast break, and he has continued to be a force in the low post, both offensively and defensively. Providence: Randall Hanke, So. 6'11" 230 pounds, 16.0 ppg, 6.2 rpg Like Horford, Hanke has put up big numbers against big-time teams, dropping 26 points against Georgetown, 17 points on Syracuse and 13 against West Virginia in the Big East Tournament last season. His numbers are up again this year. He lacks Horford's quickness but makes up for it with a 3-inch height advantage. -L i L-J -A ,--Florida: Lee Humphrey, Jr. 62" 192 pounds, 12.8 ppg, .553 3PT% Humphrey continues to do what he does best: shoot from behind the arc. He has nailed at least three from long distance in all seven of cF's season-opening wins, and his perimeter defense continues to be top-notch. Providence: Donnie McGrath, Sr. 64" 190 pounds, 13.2 ppg, 2.2 apg Humphrey may meet his shooting match, however, when he squares off against McGrath. McGrath tied an NCAA record last season when he made all nine of his 3-point attempts in a 98-79 win against Virginia. His two-inch height advantage should also come in handy. He should see time at the point as well. Florida: Taurean Green, So. 60" 177 pounds, 14.5 ppg, 5.1 apg Green's consecutive free throw streak is nearing 30, and he produced a career-high nine assists against UCF. Donovan knew he wasn't going to score 23 points every night like he did in New York, and the Gators haven't needed him to. ProvidenceSharaud Curry, Fr. 5'10" 165, 7.2 ppg, 3.0 apg Green thrived in his matchups against Justin Gray and Gerry McNamara, and they were experienced seniors. Curry is a freshman who surprisingly gives up height to Green, and if there is another game for Green to go off, this is it. -4 ; ock -A

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 19 First-Team Offense WR Chad Jackson, Jr. C Mike Degory, Sr. First-Team Defense CB Dee Webb, Jr. Second-Team Offense QB Chris Leak, Jr. K Chris Hetland, Jr. G Randy Hand, Sr. Second-Team Defense DE Jeremy Mincey, Sr. Honorable Mention DT Marcus Thomas, Jr. Michelle Stewart/ Alligator Staff By NICK ZACCARDI Alligator Writer When forwards Brittany Davis or Dalla Eshe need a breather, Marshae Dotson is there. When guards Sha Brooks, Sarah Lowe or Danielle Santos come out, Marshae Dotson is ready and waiting. Only a freshman, Dotson has impressed UF coach Carolyn Peck enough to become the Gators' biggest threat off the bench. In that role, Dotson thrived Monday night, scoring 10 points and collecting six rebounds in the Gators' 74-57 win against South Alabama at the O'Connell Center. While Davis (20 points) and Eshe (9 points and seven rebounds) continued to put up lofty numbers, Dotson, a forward, again contributed in a meaningful way. "I pretty much know my role," said Dotson, who averaged 18.9 points per game as a senior at Mifflin High in Columbus, Ohio. "It's not bad. I take notes on the bench, watching the girls to know what I have to do once I get into the game. I'm always ready" In just 12 minutes on the court for UF (6-1), Dotson acted as a force down low, but also headed a full-court press and ran the point on a fast break. She even whipped a baseball pass half the length of the court on an inbounds pass to a streaking Santos for an easy bucket. "I just had to come in ready," Dotson said. "I had to prove to my team that I could help out also." On the season, Dotson has averaged 7.1 points per game, leading all bench players, while averaging 15 minutes per contest, seventh on the team. "She has a great knack for the ball, especially on the defensive end," Peck said. "Marshae has the ability to play like a guard." But in an impressive first year, Saturday's game against Temple was a low point for Dotson. She only played seven minutes, going 1-7 from the field in the 58-55 victory. "That Temple game, I couldn't really get a lot of shots off," Dotson said. "I was staying away from the contact. Coach told me to just go in strong. So I took notes from that game and brought it here Tim Casey / Alligator Staff UF freshman Marshae Dotson shoots a layup during the second half of the Gators' 74-57 win against the Jaguars on Monday. to today's game, so I had to go strong every time I got the basketball." After forcing Temple to commit 26 turnovers Saturday night, the UF defense stepped up once again against South Alabama. The Jaguars mustered just 15 first half points on 6-31 shooting (19.4 percent), including 1-12(8.3 percent) from beyond the arc. ill I gallon zip lOCK Dags WlIT any oT Tne Toiiowing ITems and bring them to the Alligator office by 4pm on December 7, 2005 to RECEIVE COUPONS REDEEMABLE FOR FREE ONE-DAY BASIC SIZE CLASSIFIED ADS (one coupon per filled zip lock bag.)

SEE BASKETBALL, PAGE 17 Iowa blowout still fresh in QB's mind By LOUIS ANASTASIS Alligator Staff Writer Ianastasis@alligator.org Ron Zook's press conference still rings in the head of Gator Nation like a high-pitched nightmare of a noise. The Gators were out-coached. They were out-prepared. They were embarrassed. "I apologize to the Gator fans," Zook said after his 37-17 loss to Iowa in the 2004 Outback Bowl. "It is my responsibility to get this team ready to play, and we weren't ready to play today." So let's fast-forward two years to the present. With a rematch against the Hawkeyes, scheduled for Jan. 2, will something change? Will anything be different? Perhaps it is just coach-speak, but current UF coach Urban Meyer says he will do everything in his power to ensure his players actually care about this bowl game. "I've heard them talk about it and I've talked about it," Meyer said of the Iowa loss two years ago. "You have a responsibility to play a bowl game the right way, and I'm looking forward to the challenge." If quarterback Chris Leak pipes up during the next month, Meyer may have to do little in terms of motivation. Leak, who* completed 22 of 41 passes in the loss, remembers the collapse all too well. "We know the mistakes we did back then and we can't have that happen again .it was a total lack of effort from the whole Tackle chooses Gators, not USC IN GATORS ALSO GET VERBAL COMMITMENT FROM TAMPA OFFENSIVE LINEMAN. By BRYAN JONES Alligator Writer The Gators may not be playing for a national title, but they beat out Southern California in one respect Monday. Defensive lineman Brandon Antwine, ranked as the No. 16 defensive tackle in the nation by Scout.com and No. 20 by Rivals.com, made a verbal commitment to the Gators Monday. Antwine had narrowed his choices down to UF and USC before ultimately reaching his decision. "I feel that it is the best fit for me," Antwine told the Alligator Monday night. "There's not too much going on, not a lot of distractions, and I'llbe able to come in and do everything I need to do to help my team win the [Southeastern 2006 Gators Conference] championship." J4futig Considered an excellent run stopper with some pass rushing skills, Antwine said with hard work he can wind up right behind Marcus Thomas on the depth chart, should Thomas return for his senior season. "Basically, you know, if you are in a real place that you don't really feel comfortable, I don't really believe that you are going to be able to play your hardest and give it your all," Antwine said. "As soon as stepped foot on Florida, the players, the coaches, the atmosphere, it really felt like home. And you know, I've been playing well while I've been at home, so I just want to play in an atmosphere that feels like home-" Meanwhile, another recruit on the other side of the ball will get an early look at the Gators. Jim Barrie willbe at Raymond James Stadium to see UF take on Iowa in the Outback Bowl. He'll be rooting for his future school. Barrie, a 6-foot-5, 305-pound offensive lineman out of Berkeley Preparatory School in Tampa, verbally committed to the Gators on Sunday.
