Bus bill passes first vote


By ASHLEY SHEWEY
Alligator Contributing Writer

A bill to implement Sunday
>us service was initially ap-
>roved by the Student Senate on
tuesday.
Sen. Ryan Nelson said the
servicee will primarily benefit
ntemational students, who have
voiced need for the service due to
)n-campus research on Sundays.
Nelson said the bus issue has
>een on various political plat-
orms every year.
"Now it's our turn to fulfill
>ur promise to the students,"


Nelson said. "This is something
that both the students and repre-
sentatives seem to agree on."
A second vote is needed to
finalize the bill.
The service will begin Fall 2006.
SG also is pushing for the Florida
Department of Transportation
to consider funding a grant for
Regional Transit System to subsi-
dize the service.
The meeting included Student
Body President Joe Goldberg's
State of the Campus address, in
which he discussed his adminis-
tration's goals and accomplish-
ments for Fall.

Address in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium before the Student Senate meet--
ing on Tuesday night.


"The university adminis-
trators have finally sus-
pended the terrible inter-
national fee assessed to
our students."
Joe Goldberg
Student body president

Goldberg boasted of SG's
accomplishments, such as en-
hancements to the Later Gator
service, expanded availability of
newspapers on campus, ticket
subsidies to events such as Gator
Growl, extended computer-lab
hours during finals and pro-
viding wipes at the Southwest
Recreation Center.
He also was pleased with how
SG brought "top-notch" perform-
ers to Gainesville, such as Jaleel
White and Kanye West.
Goldberg remarked on ad-
vances SG has made with inter-
national students.
"The university administra-
tors have finally suspended
the terrible international fee
assessed to our students,"
Goldberg said.
He said SG also has strength-
ened its ties with graduate stu-
dents.
"I will work to make graduate
student health insurance a top is-
sue," Goldberg said.
He commented on the advanc-
es of the Tower Yearbook, which
has created a way to feature stu-
dents in the publication.
"If you sign up for the
Facebook group 'I want to be in
the UF yearbook,' your picture
will appear in the yearbook,"
Goldberg said.
Goldberg laid out goals for the
Spring semester, explaining that
most, of SG's time will be spent
lobbying, in Tallahassee.
He said the main issue will be
block tuition and Bright Futures
scholarships.
"We seek to enrich lives of our
students and.the Gator Nation,"
Goldberg said.


UF worker raises


not tenure-based

By JUSTIN RICHARDS
Alligator Writer
jrichards@alligator.org

Despite the imbalance between UF workers' wages
and their experience, administrators defend the "pay-for-
performance" plan.
"[Pay is] tied increasingly to merit," said UF Vice
President for Human Resources
UF Kyle Cavanaugh.
Admniia stmratin Workers are not given raises
based on their time at the univer-
sity, but Cavanaugh said the state rewards longtime em-
ployees with better retirement packages.
If workers choose to stay with UF's old model for va-
cation time, that benefit also comes in proportion to the
.length of their employment.
But a new benefit plan grants equal, "competitive"

STUDENT LIFE


Break longer this year


* UF WILL MAKE UP FIVE
OF THE SEVEN EXTRA DAYS
THIS SUMMER.

By ALEXIS LLOYD
Alligator Writer

UF and SFCC students count-
ing down the days until the end of
the semester when finals are over
can look forward to five extra
days of Winter Break this year.
The calendars tipped in students'
favor with a 25-day Winter Break,
compared 18 days in the past.
"It wasn't intended to be that
way at all," said Rick Ragan, UF
assistant university registrar.
State statutes allow a three-day
window for the date classes begin
around Jan. 4, Ragan said.
"It was decided to start classes
on a Monday for the Spring 2006
semester instead of in the middle
of the week, like on a Tuesday or


Wednesday," Ragan said.
There are so many classroom
instruction days UF faculty de-
cides they want, and the calendars
are tailored to those days, he said.
"It rocks," said Charles Smith, a
UF doctoral student in the College
of Engineering. "I am excited be-
cause this is my favorite time of
the year, so I'll get to spend some
extra days enjoying it.
"I like it as long as it doesn't
take away from any of the other
breaks."
The extended break will cut off
five days from Summer 2006 to
the beginning of Fall 2006 break.
It will be shortened from 16 days
to 11 this coming school year.
UF plans its academic calen-
dars five years in advance.
"We have people calling us
now asking when Spring Break of
2007 will be," Ragan said.

between on-campus bookstores and online buyback services, students have
a choice of where to sell back their textbooks at the end of the semester.


By JESSICA RIFFEL
Alligator Writer
jriffel@alligator.org


A UF student launched a Web site Sunday that
allows students to buy and sell textbooks with-
out the middleman.
"The whole process is free," said Foley
Ma, fifth-year computer engineering student.
"There's no commission or anything.",
Ma designed the Web site, swampboard.com,
so students can buy or sell textbooks with com-
plete privacy and get better prices than they
would at a traditional bookstore.
"I hope that no one has to rely on buybacks at
the bookstore anymore or buy online," Ma said.
However, the director of UF Bookstores
warned students to be cautious of the condition
and edition of books for sale.
"When you don't have a store behind it, it's
kind of hard to see what you're getting," Lynne
Vaughan said.
Swamp Board allows sellers to list the condi-
tion of the book and describe if there is any high-
lighting or damage.
"It's based on trust," Ma said.
The manager of T.I.S. College Bookstore, Pam
Suminski, refused to comment.
Ma began planning the program after he re-
ceived only $68 from a seller who paid $80 for
his used textbook through half.com, the online
bookstore affiliated with eBay.
He noticed the buyer was from Gainesville,
but since the book was already sold through the


"I was forced to ship it to him, and I was
charged the $12 commission," Ma said.
Ma avoided future commission and devel-
oped the idea for his Web site, from which he
does not make a profit.
The site began running Sunday, and as of
Tuesday afternoon there were 62 registered users
and 66 books listed.
To get a strong response, Ma has been post--
ing fliers on campus. He also handed out fliers
on Turlington Plaza on Monday and Tuesday.
He said unlike most people who hand out fli-
ers on campus, he has received an enthusiastic
response.
"There's some cases when they come back and
get more to hand out to their friends," Ma said.
Some of the prices offered on the Web site are
lower than competitors' prices.
A textbook, "American Government: Readings
and Cases," is offered for $25 on Swamp Board,
but the same book, also listed in good condition,
is being sold for about $10 more on half.com and
at T.I.S. College Bookstore. But prices aren't al-
ways better at Swamp Board.
A psychology textbook is selling for $18 more
than the highest listed price for the same book in
"like new" condition at half.com.
"If you're shopping for books, you should try
to get the best price, and if that's not here, go to
www.half.com or a bookstore," Ma said.
UF student Molly Aubry said she liked the
idea of Swamp Board.
"I think it sounds smart because you'll get
more money for your books and buy them
cheaper," Aubry said.

Gators to Stomp at


city bars and clubs


By STEPHANIE RODRIGUEZ
Alligator Writer
srodriguez@alligator.org
The Gators have, growled, and
now it's time to stomp.
One of Gainesville's traditions,
Gator Stompin' is a club- and bar-
hopping party that occurs at the end
of each semester.
The night of touring downtown
bars will be held from 8 p.m. to 2
a.m. Thursday.
"It's a nighttime street festi-
val," said co-coordinator of Gator
Stompin' Jesse Eisenberg.
Eisenberg, a marketing major
at UF, said this year's festivities in-
dude free admission to more than
15 restaurants, bars and clubs with
the purchase of a Gator Stompin'
T-shirt.
"It's a way for vendors to get
their name out there, and it's a great
marketing tool," Eisenberg said.
T-shirts can be purchased at
Domino's Pizza in the Westgate Plaza
at 34th Street and University Avenue,
Gator City or Campus Club.
Campus Club is selling the shirts
for $22 instead of the regular price
of $27.
Rehab, Grog House, Fat Tuesday,
Sky, Jewells, Gator City, The Venue,
The Library, Rue Bar, Abbey Road,
and Mellow Mushroom will all take
part.
Restaurants that also will be
involved are Dragonfly, Domino's,
Momo's, Wing Zone, Bowls and
Fus.


Participation may include up to
10 alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks
and food from more than five res-
taurants.
A menu of available food is
posted at gatorstompin.com.
Eisenberg, 21, said that because
Gator Stompin' is under new
ownership, they were able to make
changes to the event.
Previously, there were 10 par-
ticipating bars and two restaurants,
Eisenberg said.
"Most students who participate
in Gator Stompin' do it because it's
a good way to get their minds off of
finals," Eisenberg said.
He said he expects
at least 700 people
Sttudent to participate in the
event.
Eisenberg also said
that even though the night is going
to be wild, there will be fire rescue
and police nearby for emergencies.
"We want the night to be fun,
but we also want to take necessary
precautions," Eisenberg said.
With UF President Bernie
Machen's discouragement of
alcohol-centered social events,
Eisenberg said he wants the event
to be safe.
"With the amount of time
given under new ownership,
we have done everything we
could to start transforming the
event so that not only will it
benefit participants, but also the
Gainesville economy, UF and
Bernie Machen," he said.

State bylaws restrict poker playing


By ASHTON GROSZ
Alligator Writer
agrosz@alligator.org
Warning: Feel free to try this at home
- just don't do it on campus.
Though no such disclaimer precedes the
levised World Series of Poker, students
'ho play poker in the comfort of their cam-
us housing are in violation of Florida law.
According to state statutes, anyone play-
ig cards in any place for money, or anything
f value, -is committing a misdemeanor in
ie second degree unless they strictly follow
ie standards of a "penny-ante" game.
Players must be at least 18, the owner of
ie dwelling where the game is held must
participate, games cannot be advertised and
player's winnings in a single round, hand
r game cannot exceed $10.
Televised poker tournaments, in which
layers can rise to celebrity status and gam-
le millions of dollars in a single hand, have
become increasingly popular among college
students recently.
Will Gray, co-founder of the Student
oker Society of Gainesville, said he read
p on all the laws when he founded the club
uree years ago and interpreted them to mean
innings could not exceed $10 a hand.
The 21-year-old advertising major said
Le found the state's gambling laws to be
nuclear and bordering on contradictory.
Local charities hold tournaments, such
s Poker for Pets, in which winners receive
valuable prizes, but-the organizations find
vays to circumvent the law, Gray said.
Instead of placing individual bets on
ach hand, tournament participants make
charitable donation to receive their chips,
nd the winner receives a prize such as an
Pod donated by the events' sponsors.
Gainesville resident and poker enthusi-
st Elijah Dickhaus, 24, has paid his rent and


supported himself for five months using
only the money he has made playing poker
online at Web sites hosted by Party Poker
and Ultimate Bet.
Dickhaus said he tries to play eight hours
a day and treats the game like a job, but the
responsibility has made him restless.
"I'm figuring out that I wouldn't want to
do it forever," he said. "It's more fun to do
it for fun."
Joe Eisenberg, 20, is an aerospace en-
gineering major who said he has used the
university's Internet to play online poker
for money.
"In order for us to be an active
club, we had to agree not to play
with money on campus."
Will Gray
co-founder of the Student Poker Society of
Gainesville

The connection is not blocked like it is for
file-sharing programs, he said, because the
gaming software establishes a direct connec-
tion rather than supplying a mechanism to
trade copyrighted files.
Dickhaus said the trick to playing online
poker is to use multiple accounts and en-
gage in "bonus warring," a slang term for
taking advantage of the system.
Poker sites often give players a one-time
bonus of up to 20 percent, and Dickhaus said
players who make just enough money to re-
deem their bonus can repeatedly make a $50
to $60 profit with just $100.
"What's the worst they can do?" he said
of the -Web sites' administrators. "They can
freeze your account and take the money on
the account. They can't sue you. They can't
take you to court. They can't come after
you."


But Gray compares online poker to
Pandora's box. After his computer crashed,
he never bothered to reinstall the software.
"If you're going to do it, you have to play
six hands at a time, eight hours a day," he
said.
Though the Student Poker Society is not
active because Gray and other dub founders
discovered that managing it cut into time
they had to actually play poker, Gray said
they had to follow university regulations to
register the dub.
All of Gray's tournaments were held off
campus and for money, as opposed to the
Poker Night tournaments hosted by the
Reitz Union Board on campus where no
individual bets are involved.
Paige Crandall, associate dean of stu-
dents, said although no laws exist in the
Student Code of Conduct to regulate gam-
bling on campus, the organization's con-
stitution has to pass the Student Activities
Center's criteria to register with UF.
Beth Waltrip, director of campus pro-
grams, said that university policy follows
the stipulation that no gambling can take
place on state property.
However, organizations can host tourna-
ments off campus as long as they abide by
state statutes governing penny-ante games,
she said.
Chris Hiatt, director, of public relations
for the board, said he understands it's hard
to enjoy poker without money, so Student
Government funds a prize for the winner
of the tournament to provide students with
incentive to participate.
The board's tournament is different from
other tournaments because the program
is paid for with tuition-funded Activity &

"It's a tangible service to students," he

kid event

By BETSY MIRATSKY
Alligator Contributing Writer

Santa's sleigh will touch down a
little earlier than expected for a group
of Gainesville children this year.
About 50 children from the city's
after-school program will attend
Santa's Calling Christmas Party, host-
ed by Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity
and Kappa Delta Sorority from 6:30
p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Friday.
The children will be
Greek brought to the Lambda Chi
Life Alpha house, 4 Fraternity
Row, by buses when their
normal after-school program ends at
5:30 p.m. The house will be decorated
for the holiday season with snow-
flakes, Christmas lights and trees.
Each child will receive specially
made cards, a goody bag full of gifts
and have a picture taken with Santa.
They also will play games, make
gingerbread houses and decorate or-
naments for the 8-foot-tall Christmas
tree inside the house.
Brandon T. Moore, a member of
Lambda Chi Alpha, said the frater-
nity has done Christmas projects for
Gainesville children in the past but
never an event this big at the house.
"It is a great way for us to give
back," he said. "Do some good for
kids in this community while having
fun in the process."

6, ALLIGATOR S WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2005


As students, members of the Editorial Board are usually
more concerned with news from the university than with
news of any other sort. But perhaps there's something to
be said for all the other stuff that's going on beyond cam-
pus.
So we're going to send you off on Winter Break with a
speedy course in the other news that happened this year,
just in case relatives force you to contribute something
newsworthy to conversations. We'll even allow readers
to quote our words as if they were their own. After all,
our primary goal is to help students convince others that
they're getting a good education at UF.
So drop that beer, put on your thinking cap and get out
a pad of paper for this week's third and final edition of...



Darts & Laurels

To help you make the transition from UF to everything
else, we'd like to start out with something statewide
that affected our university. So we award an at-least-
our-courts-are-still-somewhat-sane-even-though-our-ad-
ministrators-are-completely-misguided LAUREL to the
Florida Supreme Court for ruling that Florida's public
universities should have retained the faculty union con-
tract after a shuffle of the executive branch in 2001.
Before the decision in July, every other state university
had reinstated United Faculty of Florida. It took UF an-
other two months after the ruling to. publicly accept the
union. But it was clear all along that changing the name of
a bureaucratic board didn't give universities the right to
break a contract.
But our state's government isn't always logical .We
shoot a passing-vague-legislation-to-protect-vague-inter-
ests-from-vague-attacks-is-dangerous-to-all-political-per-
suasions DART to Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, and his
Academic Freedom Bill of Rights.
Baxley argued that conservative students were being
penalized at universities because of their political beliefs.
The bill stated that students couldn't be punished for dis-
agreeing with their professors' ideology, and it opened up
the possibility that professors could be sued for ridiculing
students' ideas.
Luckily, the bill didn't make it. We can't imagine the
chaos that would have ensued in science classes when
professors told students "intelligent design" was ridicu-
lous. Lawsuits would be flying everywhere, and education
would have taken a backseat.
Our local government is focused on much more im-
portant and relevant tasks. We bestow an a-better-East-
Gainesville-makes-a-better-whole-Gainesville LAUREL to
the City Commission and UF for finally making progress
in the longtime goal to build up East Gainesville. Without
compromising their adverse stance on a Wal-Mart in
Northwest Gainesville, officials approved of a supercenter
in East Gainesville, the area that needs a jump-start to its
economy. Students and residents will flock to the conve-
nient, though admittedly evil store, bringing business into
the starved area.
UF. also did its part by opening an Eastside Campus
off Waldo Road. Although it primarily will be for research
and administration, the 12-acre campus shows UF's com-
mitment to helping the area's economy.
Finally, to end our educational year in review, we fling
a no-one-will-pay-for-parking-without-scouring-for-free-
spaces DART to the City Commission for building that
completely useless parking garage downtown. The ga-
rage cost millions of dollars to build, but high rates have
kept patrons away. Customers aren't willing to pay for a
30-minute stop, and downtown workers can't afford the
hiked prices..
We think Gainesville should pass a law only allowing a
certain number of residents to have cars. That way, we can
eradicate traffic problems in the same fell swoop.

Respect for life is lacking in Palestine


don't know how Israeli shopping malls are laid out. I
don't even know if they have food courts. And if they
have food courts, I have no idea what kind of food is
served.
That said, when I read about a Palestinian blow-
ing himself up in front of an Israeli shopping mall in
Netanya, killing at least five civilians, it's hard not to
imagine myself at Sbarro during the attack. It's hard
not to imagine my mother in Spencer Gifts or my fa-
ther in Waldenbooks. It's hard not to imagine my sister
Christmas shopping.
And it's impossible for me to imagine that the five
people killed Monday by Lufti Amin Abu Salem de-
served death any more than my family.
While there's not enough time in the world to grow
too jaded to be appalled by suicide bombers, words of
rage and disgust, however justified, at some point run
weak from overuse. It is then that we must move beyond
the feelings engendered by such atrocities and examine
their underlying causes.
The root of such attacks as Monday's can be seen in
the response of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Abbas condemned the attacks in an official statement,
saying, "This operation ... against civilians causes the
most serious harm to our commitment to the peace
process, and the Palestinian National Authority will not
go easy on whoever is found to be responsible for this
operation."
Palestinian Authority negotiator Saeb Erekat urged
the various Palestinian factions not to "play into the
hands of Israel and get drawn into its provocations."
But from the sane side of the world, we hear Meryl
Yourish, author of the Weblog yourish.com: "Wow, that's
some harsh condemnation. This 'operation' causes seri-
ous harm to the peace process. What about the people
who were murdered, schmuck? It caused a hell of a lot
more harm to them."


That pretty much covers it.
American liberals havy
grown accustomed to distrustin'
President Bush's idea of establish
ing a "culture of life" in America
largely because that's the type c
Andrew Bare Orwellian language designed t.
The Bare Truth quash debate by using quas.i-I
letters@alligator.org spirational generic rhetoric that'
really code for a far more contrc
versial idea. I
But in regard to the Palestinians, the concept of trying;
to establish a "culture-of life" has tremendous merit. Th,
Palestinian people have been conditioned by decade
of hateful propaganda and detestable "education" tb
believe that human life is expendable, that death is ai
acceptable option if it advances the "cause." They hav'
been led to believe that murder is a solid strategy, tha
those committing suicide are noble and decent.
At some point there has to be a sea change i
Palestinian philosophy. A leader has to emerge who wil
stand up and beg his people plead with them ti
realize that the suicide bombings at malls and discos ant
pizzerias are wrong because they're wrong. Not because
they're unhelpful, but because such actions are evil.
That's obviously more of a long-term proposition
And it has to start where most great changes start: wit
teachers and students.
Palestinian youths have to be exposed to a wide rang
of ideas and beliefs, but perhaps most importantly, their
have to be exposed to maps and globes that contain thi
word "Israel."
Perhaps instead of torching the synagogues of Gaza
the Palestinians could have used the buildings fo
schools.

illiams gave up rights when he killed
In her column Tuesday, Amy Eisinger ex-
essed her opinion that "Tookie" Williams
would be pardoned after being convicted of
ordering four men on the basis of all the
;ood deeds" the man has done while in
ison. Eisinger claimed, "there is something
herently immoral about allowing individu-
3 to judge their equals to determine whether
Person should live or die."
To that statement, I have two refutations.
rst, when he took those four lives 26 years
;o, Williams forfeited his right to liberty and
s right to life. He is no longer equal to you
id me. Secondly, there is something unques-
)nably immoral about deliberately murder-
g another human being. All the good deeds
the world will not allow Williams to restore
e to the men he murdered.
To think that mere contrition or good be-
ivior is enough to make up for the ultimate
eft that of the lives and futures of others
* is not simple idealism. It is trivializing
illiams' heinous crime. It is saying that the
e of a criminal is worth more than the lives
innocent men. Williams must now pay the
ice for the sin for which he was convicted.
undoubtedly, he has made appeals, and obvi-
isly the evidence against him was enough to
id him guilty time and again.
To use Eisinger's turn of phrase, it is unac-
ptable that even one murderer walk free out


of distaste for getting our hands dirty. Eisinger
claims that death penalty advocates are "inca-
pable of forgiveness for a single mistake." That
might have some merit, if coldly murdering
someone can be classified on the same level as,
say, stealing a car. And the death penalty can
hardly be considered "rash," judging by the
length of time death-row inmates spend in the
appeals process.
Justice may not be pretty. But it is just. And
it's time for Williams to pay the butcher's bill.
The only shame is that it's taken so long.

New political party would uphold freedom
In response to Bruce Foster's Monday let-
ter, I do agree that we need a new political par-
ty. The kind of party I have in mind, though,
will resist the demagogic appeals to dose our
economy. It will allow honest entrepreneurs to
flourish in this country, recognizing that they
are not single-minded plunderers of society.
Instead of dosing the borders, it will encour-
age the movement of people, goods, services
and money across the world in order to make
everybody prosperous. Of course, it will also
realize that in order for ordinary'Americans to
participate, they need to be equipped with the
skills to succeed in the global marketplace and


not be sheltered in a way that is unsustainable
and irresponsible.
The government must not take our free-
dom of action and thought, without which we
are slaves. Americans, as free individuals, can-
not be told what is right and what is wrong by
self-interested politicians; we must seek that
out for ourselves.
That is the sort of party I will support.

Extraneous parts lack design intelligence
Jonathan Witt's Tuesday letter is one of
those that begs a response. In his letter, he says
that "intelligent design" can be proven or dis-
proven, just like any scientific theory.
As evidence of this, he cites a "design"
theorist who argues that because a bacteria
flagellum needs all of its parts to function, it
obviously must have been "intelligently de-
signed." I'm sure these people use their own
existence as proof of a "designer," which of
course actually proves nothing unless you're
desperate to think it does. Let me ask you a
question: How many extraneous parts does
it take for something to not have been "intel-
ligently designed"?
Perhaps two or three parts would make it
unintelligent.


As we all know, the heart has four cham-
bers: two to collect blood from the body and
lungs and two to pump blood to the body and
lungs. But why four when two chambers -
one to collect and pump to the lungs and one
to collect and pump to the body would do?
What about one chamber that just pumped
blood to the body with the circulatory system
running past the lungs on the way back to the
heart? And if you're going to say that one or
two chambers wouldn't be strong enough
to do the job, couldn't God do anything He
wanted, including strengthening the heart?
Maybe one extraneous part would do. We
all know and love that little useless lump of
flesh attached to our large intestine known as
the appendix. About the only thing it's good
for is getting inflamed and removed. Would
someone please explain to me the "intelligent
design" of this nearly insignificant waste of
space?
There are more examples of unintelligent
design, but I think I've made my point. And
Mr. Witt, evolutionary pathways have been
found for your beloved flagellum. Despite
its extensive history embracing scholasticism,
not even the Roman Catholic Church accepts
this "theory" as science, nor does the church
believe it should be taught as such. Doesn't
this tell us anything?

* THE HOLIDAY, A CELEBRA-
TION OF AFRICAN CULTURE, IS
OBSERVED DEC. 26 TO JAN. 1.
By CHERYL CLARKE
Alligator Contributing Writer
The spirit of Kwanzaa was in the air
Tuesday night in the Rion Ballroom as UF's
Institute of Black Culture hosted a night
of cultural performances and educational
celebration.
An audience of about 50 UF students,
family members and Gainesville residents,
took over the ballroom in the Reitz Union
for the cultural holiday event that has been
in the works since late September, accord-
ing to Kamye Taylor, spokeswoman for the
institute.
"The purpose of this event was to give
people more of an awareness of what
Kwanzaa is," Taylor said.
Darius R. Bost, the director for the in-
stitute, welcomed the guests to celebrate
Kwanzaa and the multitude of performanc-
es presented by the organization.
African Connection kicked off the night
with a bang of vibrant African music on


djembe drums. The group interlaced the
upbeat drumming with traditional singing
while beating on the drums with sticks and
their hands.
African Connection performer Kofi, 20,
said the group members have been together
since they were young.
University Gospel Choir dressed inblack
to perform "Joy to the World," dedicated to
the institute and the audience.
A lively atmosphere filled the room as
the crowd stood on its feet; children in the
back began to dance and audience members
in the front joined the choir in a sing-along.
Authentic African Dance Group also
performed customary dances in their bare
feet with woven baskets on their red, green
and black African headbands.
' Charisse Williams, a graduate assistant
for the institute, presented a speech on
Kwanzaa's history as part of the candle
lighting ceremony.
Williams said it is important to know
that Kwanzaa is a cultural holiday, not a re-
ligious one, and that each candle represents
values and concepts that reflect African
culture.
The Kinara, the Kwanzaa candlestick,
is made up of the traditional black, red


and green African colors, Williams sai
The black candle is lit on the first day
Kwanzaa.
"Black for the people, red for the stru
gle and green for the future and the ho]
that comes from the struggle," she said.
The seven candles represent Kwanzae
seven principles, also called the Ngu;
Saba.
"The seven principles are what v
should be doing every day of our lives
said an audience member, who goes by h
African name Queenchiku.
Queenchiku, a member of the Mout
Carmel Baptist Church, which will al
host a Kwanzaa celebration, said sl
wanted to show her support and was vei
pleased with the institute's performance.
"Excellent," she said. "Too bad a lot
people didn't get the chance to see it."
She said the event also served to edi
cate people about the history of Kwanzae
. "Some people get the wrong idea. The
think it's a religion, but it is not," she sait
"It is a culture."
Kwanzaa is a black holiday celebrity
tion from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1 that represent
traditional African culture and fami
values.

UF required to have at least 220 school days


SCHOOL, from page 1

The statutes require the university to hold
at least 220 instruction days. UF typically
adds an extra five or six for hurricane days.
"Last year, due to all the hurricanes,
there were a few days of school lost,"
Ragan said. "Since there were those extra
days built in, a little cushion, there was
no need to ask the question about adding
extra days."
SFCC students will have the three-week
break because the college piggybacks its
school calendar on UF's.
"I knew what the dates were, but it
didn't occur to me that it was a longer
break," said Lindsey Tassin, SFCC photo-
journalism sophomore.
"I am a big family person," said Tassin,
who will be heading to Naples after exams.
"It will be nice to be back home with my
family and friends and have extra time
with them."


However, Tassin said she is not too
excited about having to start school back
up on a Monday at the beginning of the
semester.
"I like being able to ease back into col-
lege," she said.
Ragan said that the academic calendar
fluctuates every seven years, and the
three-week Winter Break is not guaran-
teed.
"The end date of Fall continues to creep
forward every year, so we have to knock
the school dates back a week every seven
years," he said.
Above all, Ragan said he just wants
everyone to come back safe from Winter
Break.
"We have students scattered off all over
the U.S. and in other countries," Ragan
said.
"We look forward to them coming back.
And for those who graduate this semester,
we wish them luck in their future endeav-
ors."

UF wins coach's homecoming


* GATORS BLOW HUGE
LEAD BUT WIN BY 10.

By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer

For the most part, it was a
happy homecoming for Billy
Donovan.
Coaching against his alma
mater for the first time in the
building where he became a col-
legiate star, Donovan's Gators
were fairly sloppy throughout
the contest but were able to
escape with an 87-77 victory
against Providence on Tuesday
night.
The wire-to-wire victory, one
in which UF scored the game's
first 11 points and didn't allow
the Friars to score for more than
the first 6 rninutes, marked the
first time since the 1951-52 sea-
son that the Gators started 8-0.
"There's been some teams in
Florida history that have got-
ten off some good starts, and
they've kind of petered out a
,bit," Donovan said. "We've got
to keep on improving and get-
ting better.
"We've passed every test up
to this point in time. Hopefully,
we can continue passing them."
"We've got to keep on im-
proving and getting better.
We've passed every test
up to this point in time.
Hopefully, we can continue
passing them."
Billy Donovan
UF basketball coach

Taurean Green returned to
early season form, leading UF in
scoring with 18 points. He also
went 6 for 6 from the line, tying
Kenyan Weaks' school record
of 33 consecutive free throws
made.
Green also buried a 3-pointer
as the halftime buzzer sounded,
pushing the Gators to a 47-34
lead at intermission.

UF sophomore Joakim Noah collides with Providence's Randall
Hanke on his way to the basket during the first half of the Gators'
87-77 win against the Friars on Tuesday.


UF led by as much as 21 in the
first half before the Friars went
on a 13-0 run to cut the lead to
8. Providence then brought it to
within 6 points after a Donnie
McGrath 3-pointer cut it to 40-
34.
After Green's 3-pointer at
the half, the Gators were able to
control the game throughout the
majority of the second half.
The Gators maintained their
lead despite turning the ball
over 24 times and sustaining
serious foul trouble throughout
the contest.
Corey Brewer and Al Horford
both fouled out.
Horford also picked up a
technical.
In their absences, Adrian
Moss stepped up with his best
game of the season.
The senior forward finished
with a season-high 10 points and


seven boards.
"Coming off the bench every
night is about bringing energy,"
Moss said. "It's not about scor-
ing; it's not about doing any-
thing in particular. It's about
bringing intangibles. It's about-
bringing energy.
"It's about bringing leader-
ship, me being the only senior.
We could've played a lot better
tonight, but it's always good to
come out with a win."
Donovan agreed with his big
man.
"We didn't handle a lot of
situations well," Donovan said.
"I said this to our team inside.
"Any time you can come on
the road and win on the road in
a power conference like the Big
East, it is always a very good
win."
TV and radio broadcasts contrib-
uted to this report.

AP got SEC All-Wrong
Sometimes, you read something that makes you mad.
Sometimes, you read something that just makes you
want to go Kenny Rogers though I'm certain no such
words have ever appeared in this column space.
Then there's this season's All-SEC selections fronim the
Associated Press.
It's shocking, I know, but the media got it wrong, again.
Did the AP's electors even watch a down of SEC football this
season?
Did they even see a single snap, or just some stat sheets?
Who voted for this list anyway?
Or perhaps more importantly, who would pick Dee Webb as a
first-team selection?
Not to overlook what was perhaps the best game of his career
against Florida State, but Webb has been just another liability for
the UF defensive secondary.
Maybe his selection was just a consolation prize after not being
named the Gamecocks' player of the game for the Gators' loss to
South Carolina.
If his early' holding penalties didn't bury UF in that game,
his arm tackle of Gamecocks' receiver Sidney Rice that turned a
simple short route into a 64-yard score-setting reception did.
In his defense, Webb did lead the league with 12 pass breakups
this season. But what the stat sheet doesn't reveal is that at least
nine of those were credited to the back of his helmet.
Heck, Reggie Nelson made more big plays this season.
Webb isn't even the best cornerback on his team, let alone the
conference. That honor goes to Vernell
-', Brown, the 5-foot-8 defensive back that
could. And if any member of UF's defen-
sive secondary deserves All-SEC accolades,
,4 j ^ how about alligatorSports Defensive Player
'^ of the Year Jarvis Herring?
Bran APP The fifth-year senior and UF captain
Bryan App ranks fourth on the team in tackles and
App-etite is tied for first with two interceptions this
for Receptions season.
bapp@alligator.org But confoundedly, neither Brown nor
Herring's names graced the AP's list. And
the list of the deserving grows even longer. A
Linebacker Brandon Siler leads the SEC with seven fumble
recoveries obviously a chump, right?
Fellow linebacker Earl Everett leads the Gators with 67 tackles,
but you won't find him on the list.
Even defensive end Jarvis Moss, who overcame a career-
threatening bone infection to lead the Gators with 7.5 sacks (fifth
in the SEC) and 23 tackles, wasn't worth an honorable mention.
Defensive tackle Marcus Thomas, however, was slighted
with an honorable mention shutout. And defensive end Jeremy
Mincey, easily UF's player of the year, gave the Gators a third de-
fensive presence on the list.
Maddeningly, the UF offense out-represented their defensive
counterparts 4-3 in the AP's selections.
I mean, when did they vote, July?
Certainly Chad Jackson and Mike Degory deserve first-team
honors, just as Chris Hetland has earned a place on the second
team. But Chris Leak as a second-teamer? Hardly.
And nothing against second-team selection Randy Hand, but
I have a hard time justifying the need for two players from an
offensive line that has allowed 33 sacks (ninth-worst in the SEC)
this season.
Defense carried the Gators in all but two games (Alabama and
Vanderbilt) this season that much should be apparent to even
the most causal UF football observer.
Perhaps the AP should screen its voters with a bit more scru-
tiny. It needs writers who actually care to watch football instead
of skimming boxscores.
The moral of the story: I guess you just can't believe everything
you read.

UF FOOTBALL

Stuck in tailback logjam, Wynn may jump to NFL


By ANDREW ABRAMSON
^ Alligator Staff Writer
aabramson@alligator.org

Add DeShawn Wynn's name to a
growing list of UF juniors who will
consider entering April's NFL Draft.
Wynn showed flashes of
promise this season, rushing
for k team-high 587 yards and
seven touchdowns. However, the
emergence of redshirt freshman
Markus Manson and true fresh-
man Kestahn Moore prevented
"UT:


Wynn from becoming UF's fea-
tured back.
While Wynn could become
UF's top back next season, he
could also slip to as low as third
on the depth chart.
"It is [tough]," said Wynn of
the logjam at tailback. "Coming
out early is all about timing also.
It's just something I've got to sit
down and think about. I'm not
concerned about that right now,
but after the bowl game, I'll prob-
ably make a decision within a

week or so."
At 5-foot-11, 228 pounds, Wynn
is an intriguing NFL prospect de-
spite his inconsistent production
throughout his UF career.
Wynn rushed for a team-high
seven touchdowns his freshman
season, but was chastised by
former coach Ron Zook for work
ethic issues.
The criticism continued
when Urban Meyer arrived in
Gainesville, though Wynn even-
tually worked his way into the
starting lineup after breaking out
for 93 rushing yards and a touch-
down in UF's 21-17 loss to LSU.
A nagging shoulder injury and
the play of Manson and Moore
kept Wynn in and out of the line-
up toward the end of this season,
but a solid performance in the
NFL combines could make him an
attractive late-round pick.
"If [my projected draft status]
comes out decent, it's something I
would definitely consider," Wynn
said. "But graduating this year,
getting a degree is a big deal for
me. Finishing up my senior year
with a lot of people I came in with
would be real important also."
Wynn watched former UF tail-
back Ciatrick Fason drop to the
fourth round in this past April's
draft and then score two touch-
downs in his rookie season.
"If [the projection] comes
back fourth or fifth round, I'd re-
ally have to think about it," Wynn
said. "I have to weigh my options,
see how it goes, talk to Coach
Meyer and see what he thinks. He
has a good evaluation of players,
so I'll talk to him and see where he
thinks I stand and what I should
do.
"There's a lot of good qual-
ity backs coming out. But a lot of
teams in the NFL need running
backs so they can be two or three
deep with quality backs."


"Coming out early is all
about timing also. It's just
something I've got to sit
down and think about. I'm
not concerned about that
right now, but after the
bowl game, I'll probably
make a decision within a
week or so."
DeShawn Wynn
UF running back


CALLING OUT LEAK: Meyer may
not be responsible for UF's three-
game bowl losing streak, but he's
fully aware that quarterback Chris
Leak was at the helm for two of
those defeats.
The Leak-led Gators fell 37-17
to Iowa in the Outback Bowl two
years ago, and 27-10 to Miami in
the Peach Bowl in Leak's sopho-
more season.
"I was talking to Chris Leak
about that," Meyer said. "Being a
quarterback, you need to go win
a bowl game at the University of
Florida. It's kind of important. As
a matter of fact it's, really impor-
tant."
DISCREPANCY: The Coaches' 2005


All-SEC Team was released on
Tuesday and the results didn't
thrill Meyer.
While six UF players made the
first and second teams, Meyer
wasn't so sure the right players
were selected.
In Meyer's previous two
conferences, the coaches were al-
lowed to speak to each other on a
conference call on behalf of their
players.
In the Southeastern Conference,
each coach selects the All-SEC
players but isn't allowed to vote
for their own players, or campaign
for a player on their team.
"Jarvis Herring is captain of
our team, one of our best play-
ers and played very well," Meyer
said.
"Vernell Brown is in the same
category as Jarvis Herring, no
question. Guys like Vernell and
Jarvis, that's .important to them
[as seniors]."
-Leak, meanwhile, was selected
to the AP All-SEC Second Team,
but didn't make the coaches
team.
"I think I understand that one,"
Meyer said. "That position is sta-
tistic oriented and ... Jay Cutler
and [D.J.] Shockley, they're seniors
that played very well this year."

VOLUME 99 ISSUE 72 the independent florida Not officially associated with the University of Florida Published by Campus Communications, Inc. of Gainesville, Florida We Inform. You Decide. WEDNESDAY, Recy0e DECEMBER 7, 2005 By ASHLEY SHEWEY Alligator Contributing Writer A bill to implement Sunday >us service was initially ap>roved by the Student Senate on uesday. Sen. Ryan Nelson said the ervice will primarily benefit nternational students, who have roiced need for the service due to >n-campus research on Sundays. Nelson said the bus issue has >een on various political platorms every year. "Now it's our turn to fulfill ur promise to the students," Nelson said. "This is something that both the students and representatives seem to agree on." A second vote is needed to finalize the bill. The service will begin Fall 2006. SG also is pushing for the Florida Department of Transportation to consider funding a grant for Regional Transit System to subsidize the service. The meeting included Student Body President Joe Goldberg's State of the Campus address, in which he discussed his administration's goals and accomplishments for Fall. Casey Lawson / Alligator Student Body President Joe Goldberg gives his State of the Campus Address in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium before the Student Senate meeting on Tuesday night. "The university administrators have finally suspended the terrible international fee assessed to our students." Joe Goldberg Student body president Goldberg boasted of SG's accomplishments, such as enhancements to the Later Gator service, expanded availability of newspapers on campus, ticket subsidies to events such as Gator Growl, extended computer-lab hours during finals and providing wipes at the Southwest Recreation Center. He also was pleased with how SG brought "top-notch" performers to Gainesville, such as Jaleel White and Kanye West. Goldberg remarked on advances SG has made with international students. "The university administrators have finally suspended the terrible international fee assessed to our students," Goldberg said. He said SG also has strengthened its ties with graduate students. "I will work to make graduate student health insurance a top issue," Goldberg said. He commented on the advances of the Tower Yearbook, which has created a way to feature students in the publication. "If you sign up for the Facebook group 'I want to be in the UF yearbook,' your picture will appear in the yearbook," Goldberg said. Goldberg laid out goals for the Spring semester, explaining that most of SG's time will be spent lobbying in Tallahassee. He said the main issue will be block tuition and Bright Futures scholarships. "We seek to enrich lives of our students and the Gator Nation," Goldberg said. A.1,11 S-1 I J '_ I I_ I I I UF WILL MAKE UP FIVE OF THE SEVEN EXTRA DAYS THIS SUMMER. By ALEXIS LLOYD Alligator Writer UF and SFCC students counting down the days until the end of the semester when finals are over can look forward to five extra days of Winter Break this year. The calendars tipped in students' favor with a 25-day Winter Break, compared 18 days in the past. "It wasn't intended to be that way at all," said Rick Ragan, UF assistant university registrar. State statutes allow a three-day window for the date classes begin around Jan. 4, Ragan said. "It was decided to start classes on a Monday for the Spring 2006 semester instead of in the middle of the week, like on a Tuesday or Wednesday," Ragan said. There are so many classroom instruction days UF faculty decides they want, and the calendars are tailored to those days, he said. "It rocks," said Charles Smith, a UF doctoral student in the College of Engineering. "I am excited because this is my favorite time of the year, so I'll get to spend some extra days enjoying it. "I like it as long as it doesn't take away from any of the other breaks." The extended break will cut off five days from Summer 2006 to the beginning of Fall 2006 break. It will be shortened from 16 days to 11 this coming school year. UF plans its academic calendars five years in advance. "We have people calling us now asking when Spring Break of 2007 will be," Ragan said.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7,2005 n ALLIGATOR, 3 0 ? W ES~I 1 40 WISE14 1Lo4")44 Photo Illustration by Tricia Coyne/ Alligator Staff between on-campus bookstores and online buyback services, students have i choice of where to sell back their textbooks at the end of the semester. E HOWEVER, STUDENTS MAY BE ABLE TO PURCHASE BOOKS CHEAPER ELSEWHERE. By JESSICA RIFFEL Aligator Writer jrifel@aligator.org A UF student launched a Web site Sunday that allows students to buy and sell textbooks without the middleman. "The whole process is free," said Foley Ma, fifth-year computer engineering student. "There's no commission or anything." Ma designed the Web site, swampboard.com, so students can buy or sell textbooks with coinplete privacy and get better prices than they would at a traditional bookstore. "I hope that no one has to rely on buybacks at the bookstore anymore or buy online," Ma said. However, the director of UF Bookstores warned students to be cautious of the condition and edition of books for sale. "When you don't have a store behind it, it's kind of hard to see what you're getting," Lynne Vaughan said. Swamp Board allows sellers to list the condition of the book and describe if there is any highlighting or damage. "It's based on trust," Ma said. The manager of T.I.S. College Bookstore, Pam Suminski, refused to comment. Ma began planning the program after he received only $68 from a seller who paid $80 for his used textbook through half.com, the online bookstore affiliated with eBay. He noticed the buyer was from Gainesville, but since the book was already sold through the Web site, he wasn't allowed to arrange a meetin". "I was forced to ship it to him, and I was charged the $12 commission," Ma said. Ma avoided future commission and developed the idea for his Web site, from which he does not make a profit. The site began running Sunday, and as of Tuesday afternoon there were 62 registered users and 66 books listed. To get a strong response, Ma has been posting fliers on campus. He also handed out fliers on Turlington Plaza on Monday and Tuesday. He said unlike most people who hand out fliers on campus, he has received an enthusiastic response. "There's some cases when they come back and get more to hand out to their friends," Ma said. Some of the prices offered on the Web site are lower than competitors' prices. A textbook, "American Goverrnent: Readings and Cases," is offered for $25 on Swamp Board, but the same book, also listed in good condition, is being sold for about $10 more on half.com and at T.I.S. College Bookstore. But prices aren't always better at Swamp Board. A psychology textbook is selling for $18 more than the highest listed price for the same book in "like new" condition at half.com. "If you're shopping for books, you should try to get the best price, and if that's not here, go to www.haff.com or a bookstore," Ma said. UF student Molly Aubry said she liked the idea of Swamp Board. "I think it sounds smart because you'll get more money for your books and buy them cheaper," Aubry said.

4, ALLIGATOR M WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7,2005 By STEPHANIE RODRIGUEZ Alligator Writer srodriguez@alligator.org The Gators have growled, and now it's time to stomp. One of Gainesville's traditions, Gator Stompin' is a cluband barhopping party that occurs at the end of each semester. The night of touring downtown bars will be held from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. Thursday. "It's a nighttime street festival," said co-coordinator of Gator Stompin' Jesse Eisenberg. Eisenberg, a marketing major at U, said this year's festivities include free admission to more than 15 restaurants, bars and clubs with the purchase of a Gator Stompin' T-shirt. "It's a way for vendors to get their name out there, and it's a great marketing tool," Eisenberg said. T-shirts can be purchased at Domino's Pizza in the Westgate Plaza at 34th Street and University Avenue, Gator City or Campus Club. Campus Club is selling the shirts for $22 instead of the regular price of $27. Rehab, Grog House, Fat Tuesday, Sky, Jewells, Gator City, The Venue, The Library, Rue Bar, Abbey Road, and Mellow Mushroom will all take part. Restaurants that also will be involved are Dragonfly, Domino's, Momo's, Wing Zone, Bowls and Fus. Participation may include up to 10 alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks and food from more than five restaurants. A menu of available food is posted at gatorstompin.com. Eisenberg, 21, said that because Gator Stompin' is under new ownership, they were able to make changes to the event. Previously, there were 10 participating bars and two restaurants, Eisenberg said. "Most students who participate in Gator Stompin' do it because it's a good way to get their minds off of finals," Eisenberg said. He said he expects S e at least 700 people Ltdent to participate in the event. Eisenberg also said that even though the night is going to be wild, there will be fire rescue and police nearby for emergencies. "We want the night to be fun, but we also want to take necessary precautions," Eisenberg said. With UF President Bernie Machen's discouragement of alcohol-centered social events, Eisenberg said he wants the event to be safe. "With the amount of time given under new ownership, we have done everything we could to start transforming the event so that not only will it benefit participants, but also the Gainesville economy, UF and Bernie Machen," he said.

Frat hosts By BETSY MIRATSKY Alligator Contributing Writer Santa's sleigh will touch down a little earlier than expected for a group of Gainesville children this year. About 50 children from the city's after-school program will attend Santa's Calling Christmas Party, hosted by Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity and Kappa Delta Sorority from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Friday. The children will be Greek broughttotheLambda Chi Ld9f Alpha house, 4 Fraternity Row, by buses when their normal after-school program ends at 5:30 p.m. The house will be decorated for the holiday season with snowflakes, Christmas lights and trees. Each child will receive specially made cards, a goody bag full of gifts and have a picture taken with Santa. They also will play games, make gingerbread houses and decorate ornaments for the 8-foot-tall Christmas tree inside the house. Brandon T. Moore, a member of Lambda Chi Alpha, said the fraternity has done Christmas projects for Gainesville children in the past but never an event this big at the house. "It is a great way for us to give back," he said. "Do some good for kids in this community while having fun in the process."

6, ALLIGATOR U WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7,2005 As students, members of the Editorial Board are usually more concerned with news from the university than with news of any other sort. But perhaps there's something to be said for all the other stuff that's going on beyond campus. So we're going to send you off on Winter Break with a speedy course in the other news that happened this year, just in case relatives force you to contribute something newsworthy to conversations. We'll even allow readers to quote our words as if they were their own. After all, our primary goal is to help students convince others that they're getting a good education at UF. So drop that beer, put on your thinking cap and get out a pad of paper for this week's third and final edition of. Darts & Laurels To help you make the transition front UF to everything else, we'd like to start out with something statewide that affected our university. So we award an at-leastour-courts-are-.still-somewhat-sane-even-though-our-administrators-are-completely-misguided LAUREL to the Florida Supreme Court for ruling that Florida's public universities should have retained the faculty union contract after a shuffle of the executive branch in 2001. Before the decision in July, every other state university had reinstated United Faculty of Florida. It took UP another two months after the ruling to.publicly accept the union. But it was clear all along that changing the name of a bureaucratic board didn't give universities the right to break a contract. But our state's government isn't always logical. We shoot a passing-vague-legislation-to-protect-vague-interests-from-vague-attacks-is-dangerous-to-all-political-persuasions DART to Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, and his Academic Freedom Bill of Rights. Baxley argued that conservative students were being penalized at universities because of their political beliefs. The bill stated that students couldn't be punished for disagreeing with their professors' ideology, and it opened up the possibility that professors could be sued for ridiculing students' ideas. Luckily, the bill didn't make it. We can't imagine the chaos that would have ensued in science classes when professors told students "intelligent design" was ridiculous. Lawsuits would be flying everywhere, and education would have taken a backseat. Our local government is focused on much more important and relevant tasks. We bestow an a-better-EastGainesville-makes-a-better-whole-Gainesville LAUREL to the City Commission and UF for finally making progress in the longtime goal to build up East Gainesville. Without compromising their adverse stance on a Wal-Mart in Northwest Gainesville, officials approved of a supercenter in East Gainesville, the area that needs a jump-start to its economy. Students and residents will flock to the convenient, though admittedly evil store, bringing business into the starved area. UF also did its part by opening an Eastside Campus off Waldo Road. Although it primarily will be for research and administration, the 12-acre campus shows UF's commitment to helping the area's economy. Finally, to end our educational year in review, we fling a no-one-will-pay-for-parking-without-scouring-for-freespaces DART to the City Commission for building that completely useless parking garage downtown. The garage cost millions of dollars to build, but high rates have kept patrons away. Customers aren't willing to pay for a 30-minute stop, and downtown workers can't afford the hiked prices. We think Gainesville should pass a law only allowing a certain number of residents to have cars. That way, we can eradicate traffic problems in the same fell swoop. the independent florida Mike Gimignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR Emily Yehle OPINIONS EDITOR Tom Durrenberger, Scott Gilton, Andrew Meyer EDITORIAL BOARD The Alligator encourages comments from readers.

Oi ns ALLIGATO www.alligator.org/opinior C~ /7, 4 4 CO 7 /AtX Respe~ct for life is lacking in PalIest-i n e U U U L( don't know how Israeli shopping malls are laid out. I don't even know if they have food courts. And if they have food courts, I have no idea what kind of food is served. That said, when I read about a Palestinian blowing himself up in front of an Israeli shopping mall in Netanya, killing at least five civilians, it's hard not to imagine myself at Sbarro during the attack. It's hard not to imagine my mother in Spencer Gifts or my father in Waldenbooks. It's hard not to imagine my sister Christmas shopping. And it's impossible for me to imagine that the five people killed Monday by Lufti Amin Abu Salem deserved death any more than my family. While there's not enough time in the world to grow too jaded to be appalled by suicide bombers, words of rage and disgust, however justified, at some point run weak from overuse. It is then that we must move beyond the feelings engendered by such atrocities and examine their underlying causes. The root of such attacks as Monday's can be seen in the response of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Abbas condemned the attacks in an official statement, saying, "This operation .against civilians causes the most serious harm to our conunitment to the peace process, and the Palestinian National Authority will not go easy on whoever is found to be responsible for this operation." Palestinian Authority negotiator Saeb Erekat urged the various Palestinian factions not to "play into the hands of Israel and get drawn into its provocations." But from the sane side of the world, we hear Meryl Yourish, author of the Weblog yourish.com: "Wow, that's some harsh condemnation. This 'operation' causes serious harm to the peace process. What about the people who were murdered, schmuck? It caused a hell of a lot more harm to them." That pretty much covers it. American liberals hav -grown accustomed to distrustin President Bush's idea of estabislIng a "culture of life" in Americz largely because that's the type c Andrew Bare Orwellian language designed t The Bare Truth quash debate by using quasi-ir letters@aligator.org spirational generic rhetoric that' really code for a far more contrc versial idea. But in regard to the Palestinians, the concept of tryin to establish a "culture-of life" has tremendous merit. Th Palestinian people have been conditioned by decade of hateful propaganda and detestable "education" t, believe that human life is expendable, that death is ai acceptable option if it advances the "cause." They hav been led to believe that murder is a solid strategy, tha those committing suicide are noble and decent. At some point there has to be a sea change it Palestinian philosophy. A leader has to emerge who wil stand up and beg his people -plead with them -t( realize that the suicide bombings at malls and discos an( pizzerias are wrong because they're wrong. Not because they're unhelpful, but because such actions are evil. That's obviously more of a long-term proposition And it has to start where most great changes start: wit teachers and students. Palestinian youths have to be exposed to a wide rangt of ideas and beliefs, but perhaps most importantly, their have to be exposed to maps and globes that contain th< word "Israel." Perhaps instead of torching the synagogues of Gaza the Palestinians could have used the buildings fo. schools. Andrew Bare is a journalism senior. His colunin appears on Wednesday.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 7 illiams gave up rights when he killed In her column Tuesday, Amy Eisinger exessed her opinion that "Tookie" Williams ould be pardoned after being convicted of urdering four men on the basis of all the ,ood deeds" the man has done while in ison. Eisinger claimed, "there is something herently immoral about allowing individu; to judge their equals to determine whether ->erson should live or die." To that statement, I have two refutations. rst, when he took those four lives 26 years ;o, Williams forfeited his right to liberty and s right to life. He is no longer equal to you id me. Secondly, there is something unques>nably immoral about deliberately murderg another human being. All the good deeds the world will not allow Williams to restore e to the men he murdered. To think that mere contrition or good beivior is enough to make up for the ultimate eft -that of the lives and futures of others -is not simple idealism. It is trivializing "iliams' heinous crime. It is saying that the e of a criminal is worth more than the lives innocent men. Williams must now pay the ice for the sin for which he was convicted. ndoubtedly, he has made appeals, and obviisly the evidence against him was enough to id him guilty time and again. To use Eisinger's turn of phrase, it is unacptable that even one murderer walk free out of distaste for getting our hands dirty. Eisinger claims that death penalty advocates are "incapable of forgiveness for a single mistake." That might have some merit, if coldly murdering someone can be classified on the same level as, say, stealing a car. And the death penalty can hardly be considered "rash," judging by the length of time death-row inmates spend in the appeals process. Justice may not be pretty. But it is just. And it's time for Williams to pay the butcher's bill. The only shame is that it's taken so long. Theresa Sumrall 3AG New political party would uphold freedom In response to Bruce Foster's Monday letter, I do agree that we need a new political party. The kind of party I have in mind, though, will resist the demagogic appeals to close our economy. It will allow honest entrepreneurs to flourish in this country, recognizing that they are not single-minded plunderers of society. Instead of closing the borders, it will encourage the movement of people, goods, services and money across the world in order to make everybody prosperous. Of course, it will also realize that in order for ordinary Americans to participate, they need to be equipped with the skills to succeed in the global marketplace and not be sheltered in a way that is unsustainable and irresponsible. The government must not take our freedom of action and thought, without which we are slaves. Americans, as free individuals, cannot be told what is right and what is wrong by self-interested politicians; we must seek that out for ourselves. That is the sort of party I will support. Joshua Lopez 3LS Extraneous parts lack design intelligence Jonathan Witt's Tuesday letter is one of those that begs a response. In his letter, he says that "intelligent design" can be proven or disproven, just like any scientific theory. As evidence of this, he cites a "design" theorist who argues that because a bacteria flagellum needs all of its parts to function, it obviously must have been "intelligently designed." I'm sure these people use their own existence as proof of a "designer," which of course actually proves nothing unless you're desperate to think it does. Let me ask you a question: How many extraneous parts does it take for something to not have been "intelligently designed"? Perhaps two or three parts would make it unintelligent. As we all know, the heart has four chambers: two to collect blood from the body and lungs and two to pump blood to the body and lungs. But why four when two chambers one to collect and pump to the lungs and one to collect and pump to the body -would do? What about one chamber that just pumped blood to the body with the circulatory system running past the lungs on the way back to the heart? And if you're going to say that one or two chambers wouldn't be strong enough to do the job, couldn't God do anything He wanted, including strengthening the heart? Maybe one extraneous part would do. We all know and love that little useless lump of flesh attached to our large intestine known as the appendix. About the only thing it's good for is getting inflamed and removed. Would someone please explain to me the "intelligent design" of this nearly insignificant waste of space? There are more examples of unintelligent design, but I think I've made my point. And Mr. Witt, evolutionary pathways have been found for your beloved flagellum. Despite its extensive history embracing scholasticism, not even the Roman Catholic Church accepts this "theory" as science, nor does the church believe it should be taught as such. Doesn't this tell us anything?

8, ALLIGATOR U WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7,2005 dents ce ebrate Kwanzaa holida ii II Caroline Burkhard / Alligator Rhoda Biggs attended the Kwanzaa event in traditional attire to support friends who were dancing in the show. THE HOLIDAY, A CELEBRATION OF AFRICAN CULTURE, IS OBSERVED DEC. 26 TO JAN. 1. By CHERYL CLARKE Alligator Contributing Writer The spirit of Kwanzaa was in the air Tuesday night in the Rion Ballroom as UF's Institute of Black Culture hosted a night of cultural performances and educational celebration. An audience of about 50 UF students, family members and Gainesville residents, took over the ballroom in the Reitz Union for the cultural holiday event that has been in the works since late September, according to Kamye Taylor, spokeswoman for the institute. "The purpose of this event was to give people more of an awareness of what Kwanzaa is," Taylor said. Darius R. Bost, the director for the institute, welcomed the guests to celebrate Kwanzaa and the multitude of performances presented by the organization. African Connection kicked off the night with a bang of vibrant African music on djembe drums. The group interlaced the upbeat drumming with traditional singing while beating on the drums with sticks and their hands. African Connection performer Kofi, 20, said the group members have been together since they were young. University Gospel Choir dressed inblack to perform "Joy to the World," dedicated to the institute and the audience. A lively atmosphere filled the room as the crowd stood on its feet; children in the back began to dance and audience members in the front joined the choir in a sing-along. Authentic African Dance Group also performed customary dances in their bare feet with woven baskets on their red, green and black African headbands. .Charisse Williams, a graduate assistant for the institute, presented a speech on Kwanzaa's history as part of the candle lighting ceremony. Williams said it is important to know that Kwanzaa is a cultural holiday, not a religious one, and that each candle represents values and concepts that reflect African culture. The Kinara, the Kwanzaa candlestick, is made up of the traditional black, red and green African colors, Williams sai The black candle is lit on the first day Kwanzaa. "Black for the people, red for the stru gle and green for the future and the hol that comes from the struggle," she said. The seven candles represent Kwanzae seven principles, also called the Ngu Saba. "The seven principles are what v should be doing every day of our lives said an audience member, who goes by h African name Queenchiku. Queenchiku, a member of the Mou Cannel Baptist Church, which will al host a Kwanzaa celebration, said s] wanted to show her support and was ve pleased with the institute's performance. "Excellent," she said. "Too bad a lot. people didn't get the chance to see it." She said the event also served to edi cate people about the history of Kwanza "Some people get the wrong idea. ThE think it's a religion, but it is not," she sail "It is a culture." Kwanzaa is a black holiday celebr. tion from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1 that represen traditional African culture and family values.

10, ALLIGATOR E WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7,2005 Some think staff raises are lacking LONGEVITY, from page 1 vacation time to all employees at any level of experience, Cavanaugh said. There are two ways that UF employees receive pay increases. One is an across-the-board raise the state grants to all public employees every few years. This year's raise was 3.6 percent. The other is the merit raise that some employees received last January. Cavanaugh said this policy may or may not continue, depending on the university budget. Several workers in UF's custodial services said they believe those raises leave longtime employees wanting. Tigert Hall custodian Rose Thompkins has cleaned at UF for 24 years. She makes $10.79, $2.12 more than what a new employee makes. "It's not fair," she said. "I feel like the ones that have been here are more experienced than the ones that are just coming in." Thompkins, who helps support her daughter and grandchildren, said her wage forces her to cut back on groceries and other living expenses. Her supervisor, Essie Anderson, spoke up for Thompkins and custodian Cartrell Robinson, who has worked at UF for 14 years. "What do we get to show for our long time of being here? Nothing," she said. "What is 14 years? What are my 30 years?" Anderson suggested the acrossthe-board wage increases that come intermittently should be higher for longtime employees than new employees. "That'll make the employees who have been here'a long time feel better about their jobs," she said. Anderson said the pay at UF is below par, but the benefits make working there worthwhile. Under UF's new vacation-time plan, employees receive 22 paid vacation days per year. UF required to have at least 220 school days SCHOOL, from page 1 The statutes require the university to hold at least 220 instruction days. UF typically adds an extra five or six for hurricane days. "Last year, due to all the hurricanes, there were a few days of school lost," Ragan said. "Since there were those extra days built in, a little cushion, there was no need to ask the question about adding extra days." SFCC students will have the three-week break because the college piggybacks its school calendar on UF's. "I knew what the dates were, but it didn't occur to me that it was a longer break," said Lindsey Tassin, SFCC photojournalism sophomore. "I am a big family person," said Tassin, who will be heading to Naples after exams. "It will be nice to be back home with my family and friends and have extra time with them." However, Tassin said she is not too excited about having to start school back up on a Monday at the beginning of the semester. "I like being able to ease back into college," she said. Ragan said that the academic calendar fluctuates every seven years, and the three-week Winter Break is not guaranteed. "The end date of Fall continues to creep forward every year, so we have to knock the school dates back a week every seven years," he said. Above all, Ragan said he just wants everyone to come back safe from Winter Break. "We have students scattered off all over the U.S. and in other countries," Ragan said. "We look forward to them coming back. And for those who graduate this semester, we wish them luck in their future endeavors." 10% off w/ ad Mon -Fri 11:30 -2:30 / Oe s 1el 1 515 SW 13th st t Happy Hour 4pm-9pm $4 Pitchers -$1 Drafts 4 E : LADIES NIGHT Ladies Drink FREE $1 Bottles for everyone Live Acoustic Music } 1728 W.

Sports ALLIGATOR WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2005 www.alligatorSports.org M GATORS BLOW HUGE LEAD BUT WIN BY 10. By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer For the most part, it was a happy homecoming for Billy Donovan. Coaching against his alma mater for the first time in the building where he became a collegiate star, Donovan's Gators were fairly sloppy throughout the contest but were able to escape with an 87-77 victory against Providence on Tuesday night. The wire-to-wire victory, one in which UF scored the game's first 11 points and didn't allow the Friars to score for more than the first 6 niinutes, marked the first time since the 1951-52 season that the Gators started 8-0. "There's been some teams in Florida history that have gotten off some good starts, and they've kind of petered out a bit," Donovan said. "We've got to keep on improving and getting better. "We've passed every test up to this point in time. Hopefully, we can continue passing them." "We've got to keep on improving and getting better. We've passed every test up to this point in time. Hopefully, we can continue passing them." Billy Donovan UF basketball coach Taurean Green returned to early season form, leading UF in scoring with 18 points. He also went 6 for 6 from the line, tying Kenyan Weaks' school record of 33 consecutive free throws made. Green also buried a 3-pointer as the halftime buzzer sounded, pushing the Gators to a 47-34 lead at intermission. Adam Hunger/ AP Photo UF sophomore Joakim Noah collides with Providence's Randall Hanke on his way to the basket during the first half of the Gators' 87-77 win against the Friars on Tuesday. UF led by as much as 21 in the first half before the Friars went on a 13-0 run to cut the lead to 8. Providence then brought it to within 6 points after a Donnie McGrath 3-pointer cut it to 4034. After Green's 3-pointer at the half, the Gators were able to control the game throughout the majority of the second half. The Gators maintained their lead despite turning the ball over 24 times and sustaining serious foul trouble throughout the contest. Corey Brewer and Al Horford both fouled out. Horford also picked up a technical. In their absences, Adrian Moss stepped up with his best game of the season. The senior forward finished with a season-high 10 points and seven boards. "Coming off the bench every night is about bringing energy," Moss said. "It's not about scoring; it's not about doing anything in particular. It's about bringing intangibles. It's aboutbringing energy. "It's about bringing leadership, me being the only senior. 'We could've played a lot better tonight, but it's always good to come out with a win." Donovan agreed with his big man. "We didn't handle a lot of situations well," Donovan said. "I said this to our team inside. "Any time you can come on the road and win on the road in a power conference like the Big East, it is always a very good win.", TV and radio broadcasts contributed to this report.

Sometimes, you read something that just makes you want to go Kenny Rogers -though I'm certain no such words have ever appeared in this column space. Then there's this season's All-SEC selections from the Associated Press. It's shocking, I know, but the media got it wrong, again. Did the AP's electors even watch a down of SEC football this season? Did they even see a single snap, or just some stat sheets? Who voted for this list anyway? Or perhaps more importantly, who would pick Dee Webb as a first-team selection? Not to overlook what was perhaps the best game of his career against Florida State, but Webb has been just another liability for the UF defensive secondary. Maybe his selection was just a consolation prize after not being named the Gamecocks' player of the game for the Gators' loss to South Carolina. If his early holding penalties didn't bury UF in that game, his arm tackle of Gamecocks' receiver Sidney Rice that turned a simple short route into a 64-yard score-setting reception did. In his defense, Webb did lead the league with 12 pass breakups this season. But what the stat sheet doesn't reveal is that at least nine of those were credited to the back of his helmet. Heck, Reggie Nelson made more big plays this season. Webb isn't even the best cornerback on his team, let alone the conference. That honor goes to Vernell Brown, the 5-foot-8 defensive back that could. And if any member of UF's defensive secondary deserves All-SEC accolades, how about alligatorSports Defensive Player of the Year Jarvis Herring? Bryan App The fifth-year senior and UF captain Bryan ranks fourth on the team in tackles and App-etite is tied for first with to interceptions this for Receptions season. bapp@ailigator.org But confoundedly, neither Brown nor Herring's names graced the AP's list. And the list of the deserving grows even longer. Linebacker Brandon Siler leads the SEC with seven fumble recoveries -obviously a chump, right? Fellow linebacker Earl Everett leads the Gators with 67 tackles, but you won't find him on the list. Even defensive end Jarvis Moss, who overcame a careerthreatening bone infection to lead the Gators with 7.5 sacks (fifth in the SEC) and 23 tackles, wasn't worth an honorable mention. Defensive tackle Marcus Thomas, however, was slighted with an honorable mention shoutout. And defensive end Jeremy Mincey, easily UF's player of the year, gave the Gators a third defensive presence on the list. Maddeningly, the UF offense out-represented their defensive counterparts 4-3 in the AP's selections. I mean, when did they vote, July? Certainly Chad Jackson and Mike Degory deserve first-team honors, just as Chris Hetland has eamed a place on the second team. But Chris Leak as a second-teamer? Hardly. And nothing against second-team selection Randy Hand, but I have a hard time justifying the need for two players from an offensive line that has allowed 33 sacks (ninth-worst in the SEC) this season. Defense carried the Gators in all but two games (Alabama and Vanderbilt) this season -that much should be apparent to even the most causal UF football observer. Perhaps the AP should screen its voters with a bit more scrutiny. It needs writers who actually care to watch football instead of skimming boxscores. The moral of the story: I guess you just can't believe everything you read.

20, ALLIGATOR M WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7,2005 f7r tIk By ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff Writer aabramson@aligator.org Add DeShawn Wynn's name to a growing list of UF juniors who will consider entering April's NFL Draft. Wynn showed flashes of promise this season, rushing lor a team-high 587 yards and seven touchdowns. However, the emergence of redshirt freshman Markus Manson and true freshman Kestahn Moore prevented Wynn from becoming UF's featured back. While Wynn could become UF's top back next season, he could also slip to as low as third on the depth chart. "It is [tough]," said Wynn of the logjam at tailback. "Coming out early is all about timing also. It's just something I've got to sit down and think about. I'm not concerned about that right now, but after the bowl game, I'll probably make a decision within a Tim Casey/ Alligator Staff UF tailback DeShawn Wynn breaks a diving tackle in the Gators' victory against UGA. Wynn might not be around for his senior season. check out our daily specials Before you o home for the ho da shead to the HI P for the holiday shows. C/riS/mas Carol "A Tuna Ch ris ras on stage through Dec. 18 "an unqualified triumph." -NYT Wed and Thurs 7 & 9:30pm Wed Matinee 4:30pm week or so." At 5-foot-11, 228 pounds, Wynn is an intriguing NFL prospect despite his inconsistent production throughout his UF career. Wynn rushed for a team-high seven touchdowns his freshman season, but was chastised by former coach Ron Zook for work ethic issues. The criticism continued when Urban Meyer arrived in Gainesville, though Wynn eventually worked his way into the starting lineup after breaking out for 93 rushing yards and a touchdown in UF's 21-17 loss to LSU. A nagging shoulder injury and the play of Manson and Moore kept Wynn in and out of the lineup toward the end of this season, but a solid performance in the NFL combines could make him an attractive late-round pick. "If [my projected draft status] comes out decent, it's something I would definitely consider," Wynn said. "But graduating this year, getting a degree is a big deal for me. Finishing up my senior year with a lot of people I came in with would be real important also." Wynn watched former UF tailback Ciatrick Fason drop to the fourth round in this past April's draft and then score two touchdowns in his rookie season. "If [the projection] comes back fourth or fifth round, I'd really have to think about it," Wynn said. "I have to weigh my options, see how it goes, talk to Coach Meyer and see what he thinks. He has a good evaluation of players, so I'll talk to him and see where he thinks I stand and what I should do. "There's a lot of good qual"Coming out early is all about timing also. It's just something I've got to sit down and think about. I'm not concerned about that right now, but after the bowl game, I'll probably make a decision within a week or so." DeShawn Wynn UF running back CALLING OUT LEAK: Meyer may not be responsible for UF's threegame bowl losing streak, but be's fully-aware that quarterback Chris Leak was at the helm for two of those defeats. The Leak-led Gators fell 37-17 to Iowa in the Outback Bowl two years ago, and 27-10 to Miami in the Peach Bowl in Leak's sophomore season. "I was talking to Chris Leak about that," Meyer said. "Being a quarterback, you need to go win a bowl game at the University of Florida. It's kind of important. As a matter of fact it's, really important." DISCREPANCY: The Coaches' 2005 All-SEC Team was released on Tuesday and the results didn't thrill Meyer. While six UF players made the first and second teams, Meyer wasn't so sure the right players were selected. In Meyer's previous two conferences, the coaches were allowed to speak to each other on a conference call on behalf of their players. In the Southeastern Conference, each coach selects the All-SEC players but isn't allowed to vote for their own players or campaign for a player on their team. "Jarvis Herring is captain of our team, one of our best players and played very well," Meyer said. "Vernell Brown is in the same category as Jarvis Herring, no question. Guys like Vernell and Jarvis, that's important to them [as seniors]." Leak, meanwhile, was selected to the AP Aul-SEC Second Team, but didn't make the coaches team. "I think I understand that one," Meyer said. "That position is statistic oriented and .Jay Cutler and [D.J.] Shockley, they're seniors that played very well this year."
