Growl band selected


By ANDREW NORRIS and
THOMAS STEWART
Alligator Writers

Of A Revolution, better known as O.A.R.,
will be the musical act at this year's Gator
Growl, organizers announced Tuesday.
The band will be paid about $90,000, event
producer Matt Sloan said.
Comedian and former "Saturday Night
Live" cast member Dana Carvey will also per-
form at this year's event on Oct. 16.
Carvey will be paid about $90,000 as well,
Sloan said.
O.A.R. follows in the footsteps of Steve
Miller Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd, the last two
bands to play at Growl.
In a poll taken earlier this year, O.A.R. was
the top pick among students, beating out Third


Eye Blind, ZZ Top and Sugarland in a poll of
about 500 people, Sloan said.
O.A.R. should be a much more student-
friendly performance than prior acts with a re-
cent show that sold out Mad-
ison Square Garden, the top
10 hit "Shattered" and music
directed more toward a col-
lege audience, Sloan said.
"We're really fortunate to
have such a student-friendly
bband want to come play at
Carvey Gator Growl," Sloan said.
"We really want to put on a
show that the student body will be proud of."
This year, Sloan said organizers aimed to
spend more on talent, spending about $20,000

* IF SIGNED, STUDENTS
WILL HAVE ACCESS TO
VOTING RECORDS.

By CAROLYN TILLO
Alligator Writer

Students may have the
chance to catch a better glimpse
of what their elected represen-
tatives are up to after Student
Body President Jordan John-
son revealed a new policy in
Tuesday night's Student Sen-
ate meeting.


Johnson introduced a
waiver that, if signed, would
allow previously unavailable
Student Government records,
such as vot-
Student ing records
Government and video
recordings
of meetings, to be made public
to students.
"Tonight I come here to
challenge each and every one
of you to join me in signing
this," Johnson said as he held
his signed waiver up to the
Senate.
Johnson said the waiver,


which is voluntary, was hand-
ed to all student senators Tues-
day.
"This is by far not the limit
of the things you can give up,
as I said earlier you don't even
have to sign the sheet at all,"
Johnson said.
Progress Party leader Dave
Schneider said he approved of
Johnson's new policy.
"We're thrilled that Presi-
dent Johnson is doing this," he
said. "I guess the only question
is, 'What took him so long?'"

Commissioner Lowe announces plan to run for mayor


Hanrahan's term ends in March


By JARED MISNER
Alligator Contributing Writer

City Commissioner Craig Lowe is mov-
ing on up or at least he hopes to.
On Monday, Lowe, who received his
master's degree in zoology from UF, was
the first person to announce candidacy for
Gainesville mayor.
Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan's term will ex-
pire in March after six years on City Com-
mission and six years as mayor.


"Gainesville's a very special place,"
Lowe said. "We've put in programs that
have been a model for the rest of the coun-
try. During these hard economic times, we
need to make sure we keep Gainesville
Gainesville."
Fellow City Commissioner Jeanna Mas-
trodicasa spoke about Lowe's decision to
run.
"It's definitely been a goal of his for a
long time," she said.
Lowe was first elected to represent the


4th District in the Gainesville City Com-
mission in 2003 when the commission was
expanded to include seven members. Lowe
was re-elected in 2004 and 2007.
"He's a very skilled policymaker."
Jeanna Mastrodicasa
City commissioner

Lowe said his foremost campaign is-
sues are developing economic and energy
plans that focus on the future.
He was instrumental in developing the
nation's first solar photovoltaic feed-in


tariff program in Gainesville earlier this
year.
"We need to constantly be refining and
improving and looking for opportunities
to move ahead," Lowe said.
Mastrodicasa said Lowe's greatest asset
as a candidate is his ability to make com-
promises.
"He's a very skilled policymaker," she
said.
Lowe expects the coming year to pres-
ent a challenging budget but not one that
is impossible to handle.

UF looks to increase alternative transportation efforts


* 1,800 PEOPLE JOINED IN
LAST YEAR'S CHALLENGE.

By MOLLY LARMIE
Alligator Contributing Writer
The second annual Alternative
Transportation Fair, sponsored
by UF's Office of Sustainability,
revved into action Tuesday with
aims to promote the One Less Car
Challenge, which began on Aug.
24.
City and campus organiza-
tions held demonstrations and
passed out fliers on the Reitz
Union North Lawn from 9 a.m. to
2 p.m. while representatives from
the Office of Sustainability took
questions and helped students
register for the challenge.
Stephanie Sims, a program
assistant who helped coordinate
the event, stood at a booth and
instructed students on how to
register for the challenge.
Last year, almost 1,800 people
participated in the One Less Car
Challenge, according to Sims.
During last year's challenge,
participants avoided more than
48,000 automobile trips and pre-
vented more than 245 tons of car-


bon dioxide from being released,
she said.
This year, the Office of Sus-


tainability is looking
higher results.
"I hope this year's

portation and that we will top the
great success of last year," said
Anna Prizzia, director of UF's Of-
fice of Sustainability.
Representatives from about 10
booths answered questions and
handed out pamphlets about the
different services offered around
Gainesville.
"Now, they need to build
some more bike racks."
Justin Smith
UF senior

Justin Smith, an environmen-
tal engineering senior who par-
ticipated in the fair, said he's no-
ticed a large increase of bicycles
around campus.
"Now, they need to build some
more bike racks," he said.
Smith rides his bicycle to
most destinations or takes the
bus when it's raining. He said he
did not buy a parking decal this
year.
Smith offered advice to stu-
dents who will now be commut-
ing to campus.
"Wear a helmet because it's
dangerous out there," he said.

Readers upset over Sun ad


* SOME CANCELED THEIR SUBSCRIPTIONS.

By PATRICK ANNESTY
Alligator Staff Writer
pannesty@alllgatororg

An advertisement in Monday's edition of The
Gainesville Sun has drawn criticism from some readers.
The advertisement began with "Barack Obama and
the Democrats did not inherit the bad economy; they
caused it and made it worse."
Some subscribers went as far as canceling their sub-
scriptions, The Gainesville Sun reported Tuesday.
According to the Web site of U.S. Citizens Associa-
tion, the group that purchased the ad, the organization's
goal is to halt "the slide to socialism that America is on
course for today."
Though the ad went on to make claims about the
Obama campaign's policies, some readers were more
concerned with the layout of the advertisement.
"There's a tiny disclaimer saying 'advertisement' at
the top of the page, but it looks like a news story," said


Tom Miller, a 43-year-old Gainesville resident.
"It is difficult to distinguish what's news and what
is not."
Though Miller said he understands newspapers are
struggling to stay in business, he said they also "have
a responsibility to make sure there is
some sense of accuracy" when run-
ning advertisements that could be
"suspicious or misleading."
He added he is concerned that
"anyone with money can put any-
thing they want in the paper."
Mike Foley, former executive edi-
Foley tor of the St. Petersburg Times and
master lecturer at the UF College of
Journalism and Communications, said he was surprised
the font of the advertisement was so similar to the style
used for news stories. He also said he was disappointed
that the text identifying the page as an ad was so small.
Requests for comment from the publisher were re-
ferred to the advertising department, which did not im-
mediately return calls.

Students can add another com-
pany to their list of textbook provid-
ers.
Chegg.com, a textbook rental site,
helps students save 65 to 85 percent
off the list price of textbooks, wrote
Tina Couch, the vice president of
public relations, in an e-mail.
"With the economy the way it is,
parents and students are being a lot
more cost-conscious," Couch wrote.
Couch wrote Chegg.com, which
houses more than 2.4 million books
at its Kentucky warehouse, is free to
join. Students can opt to rent books


"With the economy the
way it is, parents and stu-
dents are being a lot more
cost-conscious."
Tina Couch
Chegg.com VP of public relations

for a semester, quarter or summer.
Sophomore Shakara Lawrence
said she heard about Chegg.com
from a classmate during sum-
mer session and a "Good Morning
America" segment.
Lawrence said she used the site
because it's inexpensive, and, unlike
other students, she does not have to


worry about bookstore buybacks.
But Kenny Roberts, owner of
Orange & Blue Textbooks, said stu-
dents do not have time to wait for
the books they ordered online.
He said his bookstore offers pro-
motions that online services don't,
like 30-day deferment, free movies
and free drinks, to help offset book
prices.
Lynne Vaughan, the director
of UF Bookstores, said UF might
eventually offer a textbook rental
service.
Vaughan said Follett Higher Ed-
ucation Group, which manages the
UF Bookstores, is testing rental ser-
vices at other schools this fall.


Photo contest to


portray city life

By MEREDITH RUTLAND
Alligator Contributing Writer

Local residents will get a chance to showcase their talent
in the city's first photography contest.
The contest, titled "The Gainesville Way of Life," is open
to anyone 18 or older. While the photographer doesn't have
to live in Gainesville, the photo must be taken within city
limits. Entries can be submitted through Oct. 18 to the city
of Gainesville photo pool on Flickr.com, accessible at cityof-
gainesville.org.
Doug Whitaker, president of the Exposure Photography
Club at UF, said photos can be especially powerful when fo-
cused on a distinct location because they help reveal the iden-
tity of the town and its residents.
Around John Kaplan, UF professor of photo-
Gainesville journalism and two-time Pulitzer judge,
said the key is to immerse oneself in the
topic in order to empathize with the subject.
"As I tell my students, if it looks good in the viewfinder,
take one step closer," he said. "It may look even better."
John Freeman, UF associate professor of journalism, said
the best photos will be of residents at work and play but
should not be of landscapes unless they use creative light-
ing.
He said judges will look for novel approaches to the sub-
ject: "A scene from an unusual vantage point. A different time
of day. Unusual lighting. A special moment or emotion."
Whitaker said photography can become very personal
and may not make sense if explained in another medium.
As a senior mathematics and statistics major, Whitaker
said he understands how classes leave little free time for
amateur photography but will use this contest to return to
his hobby.
"Anything that motivates people to go and take more pho-
tos is good, both because you practice your technique and are
usually challenged to take pictures of new things that you
haven't considered before," he said.

SAA boxes go green


* THEY WILL BE SENT TO
TROOPS OVERSEAS.

By JARED MISNER
Alligator Contributing Writer

When UF won its most recent
college football championship
in January, Steven Garces flew
a Gators flag proudly like most
Gators fans.
Except Steven Garces was sta-
tioned overseas in Afghanistan.
Now in a separate deployment,
Garces wants a few UF posters to
hang in his tent at Fort Huachuca
in Sierra Vista, Ariz.
In an effort to support American
troops domestically and abroad,
UF's Student Alumni Association
has introduced a program this year
that asks all members to bring back
their gift boxes when they are fin-
ished and fill them with toiletries
and non-perishable food items for
Gators soldiers everywhere.
"If we can get these boxes in
Gator hands overseas, that's really
our goal," said Laura Lentz, asso-
ciate director of membership and
marketing for the Florida Cicero-
nes.
The idea of shipping the SAA
Box, a gift for all members that
includes Gators memorabilia and
coupons for local businesses, to
American troops actually blos-
somed out of a sustainability dis-
cussion, Lentz said.
"We're using soy ink, 100 per-
cent recyclable materials, the print-
er used to print the boxes uses wind


power and all that happy jazz,"
Lentz said.
In addition to the sustainable ef-
forts used to create the box, SAA's
goal is to keep it out of landfills by
reusing the totes to send to Ameri-
can troops around the globe.
The new design of the box
doesn't use laminated materials
and cuts one-third of the overall
expense, Lentz said. SAA is able to
use those savings and apply them
to the postage used to mail each
box.
Some UF students are unaware
of the program, however.
Victor Rosado, 23, didn't know
about the pro-
International gram, but he
News expressed in-
terest in the
new sustain-
ability efforts of the box.
"Last year, all the boxes ended
up in landfills as litter. Now, SAA
is reusing and recycling," Rosado
said.
Boxes filled will be sent to troops
approximately every three months,
according to the UF Alumni Asso-
ciation's Web site.
Since the initiative's beginning
during this summer's Preview,
SAA has received approximately 30
boxes, most of which were returned
during the first week of school.
"The idea is that every soldier
gets a box or just something to
open. It's like a gift," Lentz said.
Non-perishable food and toi-
letry donations can be dropped off
at Emerson Alumni Hall located at
1938 W University Ave.


Lowe to focus on economy, energy

MAYOR, from page 1

He also spoke about the
rising tuition at UF.
"That issue is relatively
out of my hands, but I would
be concerned if some of our
residents were being priced
out of getting their full four-
year education at the Univer-
sity of Florida," Lowe said.
During his near-seven-
year tenure on the commis-
sion, Lowe has consistently
been an outspoken supporter
for equal opportunities for all
citizens, most recently with
his adamant opposition to
Gainesville's proposed Char-
ter Amendment 1 this year.
The proposed amendment
failed in March.
Lowe, who initially re-
ceived his bachelor's de-
gree from the University of
Georgia, said that UF's re-
lationship with the city of
Gainesville is crucial.
"The role UF plays in de-
veloping the character of
Gainesville cannot be over-
stated," Lowe said. "Our des-
tinies are intertwined."
Mastrodicasa had only one
piece of advice for Lowe dur-
ing his mayoral candidacy.
"He has to tone down that
Georgia Bulldog pride dur-
ing football season," Mast- courtesy of craig Lowe
rodicasa said. City Commissioner Craig Lowe announced Monday he will

Editorial


Bad Ad


Sneaky advertisements

compromise credibility
Buried inside the Monday edition of the Gainesville Sun
was a full-page ad purchased by a political advocacy
group. The ad claimed, among other things, that Dem-
ocrats caused the subprime mortgage crisis and that Obama
was a socialist.
Stealth ads are nothing new. In April, the Los Angeles
Times went under fire for running a PR piece about an NBC
pilot on its front page. The piece had an NBC logo on it and
"advertisement" written on the top, but the ad was desirable,
according to the president of entertainment marketing for
NBC, because it had "editorial voice."
Newspapers are in trouble, no doubt. But running adver-
tisements that pose as articles is not an acceptable answer to
declining revenues.
Giving even a semblance of "editorial voice" to corpora-
tions is just as much, if not more, of an abomination.
If print news is going to compete against blogs and online
news sites, its biggest asset is established credibility. Ads that
blatantly attempt to deceive readers will not be appreciated,
and making money off of a single ad is not worth the risk.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, usually.
However, when a newspaper is desperate, it shouldn't resort
to losing its integrity. When newspapers become soapboxes
for television networks to peddle their mindless products or
for whack jobs to pay for the publication of alarmist view-
points, they are no longer newspapers. Killing something for
the sake of saving it does not make sense.

Busted for Caps


s communication and
inscription technolo-
gies become increas-
ingly digitized and "neti-
quette" is now expected to be
second nature, it is important
to exercise caution.
No, we aren't talking
about the Facebook picture
you took with your fellow
Tri Delts this week (who ap-
parently don't know what the
"Eiffel Tower" stance means),
although those can jeopardize
your jobs, too. We're talking
about a New Zealand accoun-
tant who was fired for send-
ing e-mails in all caps.
Everyone knows that writ-
ing in all caps is one of the
biggest Internet offenses that
can be committed. Not only
do capital letters not have any
ascenders or descenders, ren-
dering them difficult to read,
they are widely regarded as
the online equivalent to yell-
ing.
But firing a woman for
sending out e-mails in all caps
because they caused "dishar-


mony in the workplace"?
Wouldn't a simple e-mail (in
all caps, so she got the point)
be a better solution?
We agree that you're not
allowed to type in all caps
unless you're someone com-
menting on YouTube about an
Aaliyah video (RIP), a LOLcat
or talking to SmarterChild
on AIM. However, the fact
that some people managed
to miss the memo on proper
caps-lock usage indicates that
there should be Internet train-
ing courses in elementary
schools to teach kids that on-
line actions can put their jobs
on the line in real life.
Granted, the woman was
an accountant and not a certi-
fied wordsmith, but everyone
should be held accountable
for the wrath he or she can
unleash on readers' eyeballs
with an impression on that
dreaded button. And, ev-

Passingjudgment is healthy behavior


Confession: I'm judging you.
I consider this fair warning. If at any point you
walked by a redhead on campus with a dispropor-
tionately raised eyebrow, that was probably me, and you
were probably wearing/doing/saying something I consid-
ered questionable.
If you walk into class wearing a skirt as a dress, I judge
you. If your Facebook status updates are only about how
much you love your boyfriend, I judge you while blocking
you on my newsfeed. If you happen to state in your newspa-
per design class, "I don't know why I have so much trouble
in this class. I designed my apartment, and it's really cute!"
- Boom. Judged.
If you're the guy who was in the journalism school last
Wednesday wearing an Ohio State University shirt, I'm re-
ally judging you. I also wonder if you have a death wish.
Face it. Everybody makes judgments about everybody
else based on superficial things or first impressions. My
worldview was validated at age 10 when my mom forced
me to read "The Phantom Tollbooth" after I refused because
the cover looked stupid. I hated it.
Judging gets a bad rap. That said, my judgments are
pretty flexible. I might openly think a girl's headband is ri-
diculous, but I won't stop being someone's friend because
she wears leggings as pants. And I realize that the judgment
street runs both ways. As Jane Austen wrote in "Pride and
Prejudice," "For what do we live but to make sport for our
neighbors and laugh at them in our turn?" (Yeah, that was
kind of pretentious. Feel free to judge.)
I've also found judging helpful in situations beyond peo-
ple-watching at bars. Some decisions that your friends make
are really stupid and deserve judgment.
Excessive drug and alcohol use fall into this category, as
does staying in an abusive relationship. Everyone needs a
friend at times like these, but no one was ever helped by his
or her friends reserving judgment on self-destructive behav-
ior. The world might be a better place if we were all more


S honest about what we thought of oth-
ers' actions.
Making judgments about people
can save you from bad relationship
decisions, too. Does he seem sketchy?
Does your friend seem untrust-
Hilary Lehman worthy? If it's a judgment based on
letters@alligator org more than clothing or taste in music,
it's probably valid.
I've heard the argument that if
you make a judgment too soon, you can miss out on getting
to know someone great, and I won't say that's untrue. Maybe
that works for you. But I'm going to make a judgment and
guess that you've never been seriously hurt by someone you
had refused to judge despite ample evidence. If you've been
through that and can still believe in human nature enough to
avoid making character judgments, more power to you. You
have more faith than I do.
I know I've got a platform here from which to judge, so I'll
even the playing field.
I love Fleetwood Mac. I'm not sure I've ever broken a
10-minute mile. I used to watch "Charmed" reruns in the
morning with some regularity. I can quote portions of "The
Lord of the Rings" movies at length. I had a rolling backpack
in high school. I think Sam Bradford is more attractive than
Tim Tebow.
Feel better?
It's actually pretty freeing when you realize that people
make both positive and negative judgments about you ev-
ery day, no matter what you do. But in the end, we're all
too consumed by self-judgment to spend too much time on
other people.
Unless you're the girl I saw twice last week with a hair-
style apparently inspired by Cindy Lou Who. I dropped
what I was doing and judged you. Both times.

Public 'shaming' detracts


from compassion, love


s posing nude shameful?
Two weeks ago at the Teen
Choice Awards, Dane Cook called
out Vanessa Hudgens (the girl from
"High School Musical") for leaking ex-
plicit camera-phone pictures of herself
online. "Girl," he said before present-
ing the Choice Hottie award, "you gots
to keep your clothes on! Phones are for
phone calls, girl."
It was a pretty light rebuke. Any time
you say someone "gots to" do some-
thing, you can't be completely in attack
mode.
But people reacted as if he had gone
too far: The crowd booed him; the clip
was cut from the final show and pages
of YouTube comments called the quip
unfunny. That's quite a surprise consid-
ering people usually love denouncing
slutty celebrities.
I think the difference is that Cook
wasn't making fun of Hudgens. He was
shaming her. Society thinks that por-
nography is wrong. And when one per-
son publicly tells another person on be-
half of a group that something is wrong,
that's shame.
Hudgens knew she was being
shamed. As soon as Cook finished, her
face withered from that endearing look
that says "I'm cute and modest about
being singled out for special atten-
tion" to a blank stare where she felt the
alienating disapproval of thousands of
people.
All the teens who are riled up about
the comment are really just angry be-
cause shame is uncomfortable. When
they hear Hudgens being shamed for
taking her clothes off, they hear their
own fathers berating them in front of
friends for staying out too late, wearing
immodest clothes and having too many
boyfriends. Everyone's a little bit of an
outcast.


Will Penman That's the
Speaking Out problem, I think,
with shame. It
doesn't change
people's attitudes, just their behavior.
It's possible Hudgens will never go top-
less again. But if she does, this strategy
of shame will only further ingrain in her
a sense that she can't live up to expecta-
tions.
Shame is the voice of the group con-
vincing the individual to get in line.
As modern Americans, though, we
don't really believe the group deserves
a voice. "The Scarlet Letter" scares us.
Action motivated externally by public
opinion is cheap.
I'm not saying we should just sit back
and approve. Cultivating lust through
pornography prizes passion over self-
control and self-absorption over sacri-
ficial love.
In a world where I'm just as capable
of child abuse or of walking out on my
wife as the next guy, self-control and
sacrificial love are important.
It's just that the deeper the prob-
lem is, the less surface treatments like
shame will be effective. How should
we respond to Hudgens? I can think
of several solutions. We could destroy
all camera phones. We could finance
Obama's health care plan with a sin tax
on porn, settling for physical well-be-
ing at the expense of moral health. We
could ignore her. But looking away isn't
always sufficient.
Best of all is to remember that you
can love people even when they're
wrong. Love encourages; shame tugs
with the disemboweling hook of social
disappointment.
And with that, our conscience re-
lieved, we can get back to the winner of
the Choice Hottie award.
Will Penman is an English senior.

SG discusses $14M budget


SENATE, from page 1

The $14 million 2010-2011 bud-
get was a hot topic of debate, when
an hourlong discussion ensued
over senators' questions about how
students' money was planning to
be spent.
The budget is comprised of stu-
dents' activity and service fees and
is used to fund SG-sponsored orga-
nizations. It will be voted on during
next Tuesday's meeting.
Student Body Treasurer Maryam
Laguna said SG will hire a consult-
ing firm to evaluate the needs of SG
and how to make SG more efficient
for the student body. SG is allocat-
ing $15,500 for this project, and the
firm has not been chosen yet.
But Orange and Blue Party
Sen. Ben Cavataro questioned
why SG was spending so much
when it could hire Gators.
Laguna said that a firm, unlike UF


students, has experience working
with other student governments
across the country.
"We're students, she said. "No
one has enough time or energy to
commit to something like this."
Laguna announced the rein-
statement of The New York Times
readership program at the cost of
$60,300.
She said she received legitimate
suggestions from the student body
about how the program would im-
prove the student experience.
Orange and Blue Party Sen. Jon
Ossip said almost 2,000 students
joined a Facebook group to keep
the paper on campus, he said.
"These are the people that saved
The New York Times," he said.
Senators also dished out about
$2,230 to four different organiza-
tions, including Doctors without
Borders, Hope for Haiti, Invisible
Children and Amnesty Interna-
tional.

more for the band and comedian than they did last
year. Organizers also plan to announce another
surprise act as early as next week, Sloan said.
He said organizers had to get creative in pro-
moting the show and recruiting sponsors this
year, asking for help or trading services with
the Gainesville Area Chamber of Commerce,
UF's Alumni Association and Gator Domino's.
Some students are pleased with the results so far.
"I am very excited about having O.A.R. at Gator
Growl this year," UF accounting sophomore Ethan
Latinsky said. "They are an awesome band and one
that I have always wanted to hear live."
Aside from appealing to a college audience,
Griffin said O.A.R. was also chosen because of the
band's philanthropic background.
Growl is now in its 86th year and is being pro-
moted as the largest student-run pep rally in the
world, with more than 500 student volunteers.
The theme of the show, "Legends of the Swamp,"
is meant to honor the football greats who have
passed through the Swamp over the years.
Student tickets are $15 and can be purchased at
www.gatorgrowl.com. General admission tickets
cost $25.

UF FOOTBALL

Running back trio set to take pressure off Tebow


By BOBBY CALLOVI
Alligator Staff Writer
bcallovi@alligator org

Tim Tebow can finally rest his
legs some.
Although the quarterback will
still play a large role in the run-
ning game, Florida feels comfort-
able with its three running backs
heading into the season.
For most of the last two sea-
sons, the Gators had no one they
could trust to hand the ball off to
so that Tebow wouldn't have to
carry the ball the majority of the
time.
By the end of last year, fresh-
men Chris Rainey and Jeff Demps
emerged as viable options in the
backfield to take some of the load
off from Tebow, who carried the
ball 176 times last season.
The two speedsters along with
junior Emmanuel Moody, who is
now healthy enough to contrib-
ute, have earned the confidence
of coach Urban Meyer this off-
season, and will be counted on to
take most of the carries.
"I've been very critical of that
position and deservedly so,"
Meyer said. "We have not had the


Division I-A, highest level of col-
lege football level tailback.
"We have been at receiver, we
have been at quarterback, but we
are getting close. I'm not as wor-
ried about handing off as I used
to be."
Rainey and Demps showed
plenty of big-play potential last
year, both averaging 7.8 yards
per carry on their way to more
than 600 rushing yards each, but
neither had more than 85 carries
on the year Rainey finished
with 84, and Demps had 78.
Besides Tebow, the Gators re-
lied heavily on wide receiver Per-
cy Harvin in the run game. Har-
vin carried the ball 70 times for
660 yards and 10 touchdowns.
To prepare the trio of backs
for increased roles in the offense,
running backs coach Kenny Cart-
er worked on making the three
players more well-rounded.
"We worked on all the minor
details of the position that really
separate you from others like be-
ing efficient in movement, being
really technical when it comes
to pass protection," Carter said.
"All those things are critical of

BCS encourages cupcakes


Gators respond to loss of Elliott


By EUGENIO TORRENS
Alligator Writer
etorrens@alligator org


From orange soccer cleats to metallic crutch-
es.
Ashlee Elliott's senior season came to a
screeching halt when she tore her left ACL in
the 16th minute of Florida's soccer match against
USF on Sunday.
Elliott had the ball and was waiting for a team-
mate when the ball got caught up under her feet.
She tried to move her upper body but turned too
far on her left knee.
"It didn't even hurt, it was just like a shock,"
Elliott said. "I was like, 'Man, did I just do what
I think I did?'"
She started walking and figured immediately
it was a torn ACL. She got an MRI during half-
time and received texts detailing the game she
had left.
Elliott said Tuesday she didn't want to red-
shirt and was still planning on graduating in De-


member and trying to break into Women's Profes-
sional Soccer in the spring.
Some of her teammates didn't realize the mag-
nitude of the injury when Elliott went down.
Goalkeeper Katie Fraine figured Elliott
wouldn't even need a substitute.
When midfielder Lindsay
Thompson heard it was Elliott's

Gators fans are giddy at the
thought of seeing Charleston
Southern, Troy and FIU in The
Swamp this season.
The matchups are less than in-
triguing and far more than "a bit
of a mismatch," as one reporter
put it to UF coach Urban Meyer
in a press conference on Mon-
day.
In that same press conference,
Meyer reiterated a point he has
made time and again throughout
the offseason: It is not the Gators
goal to play the toughest sched-
ule in the nation.
Furthermore, it's probably not
their goal to play a tough sched-
ule at all.

I'll call him smart.

Debose's unusual injury slows decision


* LB DUSTIN DOE WILL
MISS THE CHARLESTON
SOUTHERN GAME.

By MIKE McCALL
Alligator Staff Writer
mmccall@alllgator org

Receiver Andre Debose's
first year at Florida is in lim-
bo.
Coach Urban Meyer said
he would meet with Debose's
parents and doctors Tuesday
night to discuss whether De-
bose needs surgery to repair
tendon damage in his ham-
string.
Meyer stopped short of
saying that surgery would
mean a redshirt for Debose,
but he would miss a large
chunk of the season at the
least.
"It's an unusual injury,"
Meyer said. "Coach [Mickey
Marotti] told me they found
[a specialist] somewhere who
has more information. Once
again, I'm not in the medical
profession, but what doctors
do is, if they have experience
with it, there's no issue.
"If they don't have experi-
ence with it, they call around
and talk to colleagues. He has
one of those unusual ones,
and our training staff has not
dealt with this before."
Meyer should make an


announcement regarding
Debose's treatment plans
Wednesday.

DOE SUSPENDED FOR
OPENER: Meyer said senior


linebacker Dustin Doe is
suspended for the Gators'
opener against Charleston
Southern on Saturday.
Doe was arrested in July
after repeatedly driving with


a suspended license and re-
cently rejoined the team.
Meyer added that he will
consider Doe's status on a
week-to-week basis, and he
could miss more games.

Thompson moves to forward


Andrew Stanfill / Alligator Staff
UF sophomore Lindsay Thompson (18) will be counted on to help replace Ashlee Elliott up
front. Thompson played midfield as a freshman.


SOCCER, from page 14

Thompson, who rotated with Elliott
against the Bulls on Sunday, may now be
relied upon more than she anticipated.
While Thompson plays more with
speed, she can't possibly match the size
- or experience Elliott provided.
Thompson didn't play forward last
year so she is still getting used to it.
"It's definitely more offensive orient-
ed," Thompson said. "You hardly have
any defensive responsibilities."
And while Elliott may have been a pri-
marily offensive player, Fraine will miss
her downfield target.
"(Elliott)'s always a target on goal
kicks and punts and stuff like that just
because of her amazing ability to win
balls in the air," Fraine said. "I'm going to
have to find a new target player. Jessica
(Eicken) can do it, Lindsay (Thompson)
can do it.
"It's just that (Elliott) definitely stands
out in a crowd."
While Elliott is powerless to help the
team on the field, she can be just as ca-


"She's going to help everybody
and you're going to hear her on
the sidelines, that's for sure."

UF sophomore forward

pable as ever off of it.
Whether it's her work in rehab or pro-
viding an extra pair of eyes to hold peo-
ple accountable on the field, Elliott can
still be an invaluable aid to the team, as
well as being one of the most enthusiastic
cheerleaders for the team.
"She's going to help everybody and
you're going to hear her on the sidelines,
that's for sure," Thompson said.
Elliott's injury comes as a surprise, but
in the world of sports such an injury is
commonplace.
And while injuries are liable to hap-
pen any time, any place and to anyone,
Elliott's teammates can't afford to let their
inhibitions tame their play.
"If you're out there playing afraid to
get hurt, you're not going to play your
best," Fraine said.

what you need to do in this of-
fense as a back."
Not only will the three be re-
lied on to take more carries, but
they will also be key in pass pro-
tection.
Last year, the Gators used
Kestahn Moore to block for the
quarterback from the running
back position.
With Moody the only one of
the three who weighs more than
200 pounds, pass protection has
been a major focus in practices.
For Rainey, it wasn't just his
on-the-field shortcomings that
needed work this offseason.
Carter sat him down after last
season and warned him that if he
did not start studying the plays
more, he would not play in the
fall.

Football Meyer named the
starter.
Neither are like-
ly to wait long especially with UF
using two-back formations this
season.
The three will be counted on to
take some pressure off Tebow in
the running game, but they will
be aided by having each other to
share the role.
"With a group of guys, like
the running backs we got, it's

behind you," Demps said.

the top dog, and Meyer knows that.
What I find interesting is that line of thinking
is in sharp contrast to that of college basketball,
a reasonable sport with a performance-based
system for determining a champion.
The UF men's basketball team is taking on
Michigan State, Syracuse, NC State and Xavier
in its nonconference schedule this year, and
those games can only help them the polar
opposite of college football.
If the Gators lose those games it's no big deal
- only a few more losses on the resume.
But if they win, suddenly they've bolstered
their NCAA Tournament resume and stand to
make the field of 65 and possibly earn a high-
ranking seed.
Billy Donovan's goal should be to make the
toughest schedule in the nation, because in the
end you're only rewarded for it.
There's many arguments for why the NCAA


should install a playoff system in college foot-
ball and this one should be at the top of the
list.
Fans get cheated out of sweet potential
matchups, like Florida-Utah, because one loss
can cripple your chances of winning a national
championship.
March Madness is the single greatest post-
season sporting event, and I can only imagine
what an end-of-the-year tournament would do
for the college football environment.
Not only would the tournament be wildly
entertaining and crown a worthy king of col-
lege football, it would allow coaches like Meyer
to keep the Charleston Southerns and FIUs of
the world off their schedule.
For now, the Floridas and Ohio States of the
world will continue to schedule cream puffs be-
cause that's what will help them win a champi-
onship within the BCS formula.
College football fans might be the most pas-
sionate and rabid fan base there is, and they de-
serve better than I-AA tune-up games.

The band will be paid about $90,000, event producer Matt Sloan said. Comedian and former "Saturday Night Live" cast member Dana Carvey will also per form at this year's event on Oct. 16. Carvey will be paid about $90,000 as well, Sloan said. O.A.R. follows in the footsteps of Steve Miller Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd, the last two bands to play at Growl. In a poll taken earlier this year, O.A.R. was the top pick among students, beating out Third Eye Blind, ZZ Top and Sugarland in a poll of about 500 people, Sloan said. O.A.R. should be a much more studentfriendly performance than prior acts with a recent show that sold out Madison Square Garden, the top 10 hit "Shattered" and music directed more toward a college audience, Sloan said. "We're really fortunate to have such a student-friendly band want to come play at Carve Gator Growl," Sloan said. "We really want to put on a show that the student body will be proud of." This year, Sloan said organizers aimed to spend more on talent, spending about $20,000 SEE GROWL, PAGE 8 SG reveals records policy 0 IF SIGNED, STUDENTS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO VOTING RECORDS.

Johnson introduced a waiver that, if signed, would allow previously unavailable Student Government records, such as votStudent ing records Government and video recordings of meetings, to be made public to students. "Tonight I come here to challenge each and every one of you to join me in signing this," Johnson said as he held his signed waiver up to the Senate. Johnson said the waiver, which is voluntary, was handed to all student senators Tuesday. "This is by far not the limit of the things you can give up, as I said earlier you don't even have to sign the sheet at all," Johnson said. Progress Party leader Dave Schneider said he approved of Johnson's new policy. "We're thrilled that President Johnson is doing this," he said. "I guess the only question is, 'What took him so long?"' SEE SENATE, PAGE 8 Commissioner Lowe announces plan to run for mayor Hanrahan's term ends in March By JARED MISNER Alligator Contributing Writer City Commissioner Craig Lowe is moving on up -or at least he hopes to. On Monday, Lowe, who received his master's degree in zoology from UF, was the first person to announce candidacy for Gainesville mayor. Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan's term will expire in March after six years on City Commission and six years as mayor. "Gainesville's a very special place," Lowe said. "We've put in programs that have been a model for the rest of the country. During these hard economic times, we need to make sure we keep Gainesville Gainesville." Fellow City Commissioner Jeanna Mastrodicasa spoke about Lowe's decision to run. "It's definitely been a goal of his for a long time," she said. Lowe was first elected to represent the 4th District in the Gainesville City Commission in 2003 when the commission was expanded to include seven members. Lowe was re-elected in 2004 and 2007. "He's a very skilled policymaker." Jeanna Mastrodicasa City commissioner Lowe said his foremost campaign issues are developing economic and energy plans that focus on the future. He was instrumental in developing the nation's first solar photovoltaic feed-in tariff program in Gainesville earlier this year. "We need to constantly be refining and improving and looking for opportunities to move ahead," Lowe said. Mastrodicasa said Lowe's greatest asset as a candidate is his ability to make compromises. "He's a very skilled policymaker," she said. Lowe expects the coming year to present a challenging budget but not one that is impossible to handle.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2009 U ALLIGATOR, 3 UF looks to inrease alternative transportation efforts 1,800 PEOPLE JOINED IN LAST YEAR'S CHALLENGE. By MOLLY LARMIE Alligator Contributing Writer The second annual Alternative Transportation Fair, sponsored by UF's Office of Sustainability, revved into action Tuesday with aims to promote the One Less Car Challenge, which began on Aug. 24. City and campus organizations held demonstrations and passed out fliers on the Reitz Union North Lawn from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. while representatives from the Office of Sustainability took questions and helped students register for the challenge. Stephanie Sims, a program assistant who helped coordinate the event, stood at a booth and instructed students on how to register for the challenge. Last year, almost 1,800 people participated in the One Less Car Challenge, according to Sims. During last year's challenge, participants avoided more than 48,000 automobile trips and prevented more than 245 tons of carbon dioxide from being released, she said.

4, ALLIGATOR U WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2,2009 Readers upset over Sun ad 0 SOME CANCELED THEIR SUBSCRIPTIONS. By PATRICK ANNESTY Alligator Staff Writer pannesty@alligator org An advertisement in Monday's edition of The Gainesville Sun has drawn criticism from some readers. The advertisement began with "Barack Obama and the Democrats did not inherit the bad economy; they caused it and made it worse." Some subscribers went as far as canceling their subscriptions, The Gainesville Sun reported Tuesday. According to the Web site of U.S. Citizens Association, the group that purchased the ad, the organization's goal is to halt "the slide to socialism that America is on course for today." Though the ad went on to make claims about the Obama campaign's policies, some readers were more concerned with the layout of the advertisement. "There's a tiny disclaimer saying 'advertisement' at the top of the page, but it looks like a news story," said Tom Miller, a 43-year-old Gainesville resident. "It is difficult to distinguish what's news and what is not." Though Miller said he understands newspapers are struggling to stay in business, he said they also "have a responsibility to make sure there is some sense of accuracy" when running advertisements that could be "suspicious or misleading." He added he is concerned that "anyone with money can put anygthin they want in the paper." Mike Foley, former executive ediFoley tor of the St. Petersburg Times and master lecturer at the UF College of Journalism and Communications, said he was surprised the font of the advertisement was so similar to the style used for news stories. He also said he was disappointed that the text identifying the page as an ad was so small. Requests for comment from the publisher were referred to the advertising department, which did not immediately return calls. STUDENT LIFE Rental site offers textbooks By CAROLYN TILLO Alligator Writer Students can add another company to their list of textbook providers. Chegg.com, a textbook rental site, helps students save 65 to 85 percent off the list price of textbooks, wrote Tina Couch, the vice president of public relations, in an e-mail. "With the economy the way it is, parents and students are being a lot more cost-conscious," Couch wrote. Couch wrote Chegg.com, which houses more than 2.4 million books at its Kentucky warehouse, is free to join. Students can opt to rent books "With the economy the way it is, parents and students are being a lot more cost-conscious." Tina Couch Chegg.com VP of public relations for a semester, quarter or summer. Sophomore Shakara Lawrence said she heard about Chegg.com from a classmate during summer session and a "Good Morning America" segment. Lawrence said she used the site because it's inexpensive, and, unlike other students, she does not have to worry about bookstore buybacks. But Kenny Roberts, owner of Orange & Blue Textbooks, said students do not have time to wait for the books they ordered online. He said his bookstore offers promotions that online services don't, like 30-day deferment, free movies and free drinks, to help offset book prices. Lynne Vaughan, the director of UF Bookstores, said UF might eventually offer a textbook rental service. Vaughan said Follett Higher Education Group, which manages the UF Bookstores, is testing rental services at other schools this fall. 19, ,q~ 1V7fit9 rvavb to b)4arvseiq 9o1 h( PtIfit, (Sca~th% I f M 1( "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" Photo contest to portray city life By MEREDITH RUTLAND Alligator Contributing Writer Local residents will get a chance to showcase their talent in the city's first photography contest.

Entries can be submitted through Oct. 18 to the city of Gainesville photo pool on Flickr.com, accessible at cityofgainesville.org. Doug Whitaker, president of the Exposure Photography Club at UF, said photos can be especially powerful when focused on a distinct location because they help reveal the identity of the town and its residents. Around John Kaplan, UF professor of photoGainesville journalism and two-time Pulitzer judge, said the key is to immerse oneself in the topic in order to empathize with the subject. "As I tell my students, if it looks good in the viewfinder, take one step closer," he said. "It may look even better." John Freeman, UF associate professor of journalism, said the best photos will be of residents at work and play but should not be of landscapes unless they use creative lighting. He said judges will look for novel approaches to the subject: "A scene from an unusual vantage point. A different time of day. Unusual lighting. A special moment or emotion." Whitaker said photography can become very personal and may not make sense if explained in another medium. As a senior mathematics and statistics major, Whitaker said he understands how classes leave little free time for amateur photography but will use this contest to return to his hobby. "Anything that motivates people to go and take more photos is good, both because you practice your technique and are usually challenged to take pictures of new things that you haven't considered before," he said.

In an effort to support American troops domestically and abroad, UF's Student Alumni Association has introduced a program this year that asks all members to bring back their gift boxes when they are finished and fill them with toiletries and non-perishable food items for Gators soldiers everywhere. "If we can get these boxes in Gator hands overseas, that's really our goal," said Laura Lentz, associate director of membership and marketing for the Florida Cicerones. The idea of shipping the SAA Box, a gift for all members that includes Gators memorabilia and coupons for local businesses, to American troops actually blossomed out of a sustainability discussion, Lentz said. "We're using soy ink, 100 percent recyclable materials, the printer used to print the boxes uses wind power and all that happy jazz," Lentz said. In addition to the sustainable efforts used to create the box, SAA's goal is to keep it out of landfills by reusing the totes to send to American troops around the globe. The new design of the box doesn't use laminated materials and cuts one-third of the overall expense, Lentz said. SAA is able to use those savings and apply them to the postage used to mail each box. Some UF students are unaware of the program, however. Victor Rosado, 23, didn't know about the proInternational gram, but he News expressed interest in the new sustainability efforts of the box. "Last year, all the boxes ended up in landfills as litter. Now, SAA is reusing and recycling," Rosado said. Boxes filled will be sent to troops approximately every three months, according to the UF Alumni Association's Web site. Since the initiative's beginning during this summer's Preview, SAA has received approximately 30 boxes, most of which were returned during the first week of school. "The idea is that every soldier gets a box or just something to open. It's like a gift," Lentz said. Non-perishable food and toiletry donations can be dropped off at Emerson Alumni Hall located at 1938 W University Ave. Lowe to focus on economy, energy MAYOR, from page 1 He also spoke about the rising tuition at UF. "That issue is relatively out of my hands, but I would be concerned if some of our residents were being priced out of getting their full fouryear education at the University of Florida," Lowe said. During his near-sevenyear tenure on the commission, Lowe has consistently been an outspoken supporter for equal opportunities for all citizens, most recently with his adamant opposition to Gainesville's proposed Charter Amendment 1 this year. The proposed amendment failed in March. Lowe, who initially received his bachelor's degree from the University of Georgia, said that UF's relationship with the city of Gainesville is crucial. "The role UF plays in developing the character of Gainesville cannot be overstated," Lowe said. "Our destinies are intertwined." Mastrodicasa had only one piece of advice for Lowe during his mayoral candidacy. "He has to tone down that Georgia Bulldog pride during football season," Mastrodicasa said. Mayoral elections will be held March 16. Courtesy of Craig Lowe City Commissioner Craig Lowe announced Monday he will run for mayor of Gainesville.

6, ALLIGATOR U WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2,2009 Bad Ad Sneaky advertisements compromise credibility Buried inside the Monday edition of the Gainesville Sun was a full-page ad purchased by a political advocacy group. The ad claimed, among other things, that Democrats caused the subprime mortgage crisis and that Obama was a socialist. Stealth ads are nothing new. In April, the Los Angeles Times went under fire for running a PR piece about an NBC pilot on its front page. The piece had an NBC logo on it and "advertisement" written on the top, but the ad was desirable, according to the president of entertainment marketing for NBC, because it had "editorial voice." Newspapers are in trouble, no doubt. But running advertisements that pose as articles is not an acceptable answer to declining revenues. Giving even a semblance of "editorial voice" to corporations is just as much, if not more, of an abomination. If print news is going to compete against blogs and online news sites, its biggest asset is established credibility. Ads that blatantly attempt to deceive readers will not be appreciated, and making money off of a single ad is not worth the risk. Desperate times call for desperate measures, usually. However, when a newspaper is desperate, it shouldn't resort to losing its integrity. When newspapers become soapboxes for television networks to peddle their mindless products or for whack jobs to pay for the publication of alarmist viewpoints, they are no longer newspapers. Killing something for the sake of saving it does not make sense. Busted for Caps As communication and inscription technologies become increasingly digitized and "netiquette" is now expected to be second nature, it is important to exercise caution. No, we aren't talking about the Facebook picture you took with your fellow Tri Delts this week (who apparently don't know what the "Eiffel Tower" stance means), although those can jeopardize your jobs, too. We're talking about a New Zealand accountant who was fired for sending e-mails in all caps. Everyone knows that writing in all caps is one of the biggest Internet offenses that can be committed. Not only do capital letters not have any ascenders or descenders, rendering them difficult to read, they are widely regarded as the online equivalent to yelling. But firing a woman for sending out e-mails in all caps because they caused "disharmony in the workplace"? Wouldn't a simple e-mail (in all caps, so she got the point) be a better solution? We agree that you're not allowed to type in all caps unless you're someone commenting onYouTube about an Aaliyah video (RIP), a LOLcat or talking to SmarterChild on AIM. However, the fact that some people managed to miss the memo on proper caps-lock usage indicates that there should be Internet training courses in elementary schools to teach kids that online actions can put their jobs on the line in real life. Granted, the woman was an accountant and not a certified wordsmith, but everyone should be held accountable for the wrath he or she can unleash on readers' eyeballs with an impression on that dreaded button. And, everyone should be aware that their online persona can come back to, ahem, cap them in the ass. l the independent florida Kristin Bjornsen EDITOR Brian Kelley Jennifer Jenkins MANAGING EDITORS Allie Conti OPINIONS EDITOR The Alligator encourages comments from readers Letters to the editor should not exceed 150 words (about one etter-sized page) They mustbe typed, double-spaced and must include the author's name, classification and phone number Names will be withheld if the writer shows just cause We reserve the right to edit for length, grammar, styie and iibei Send letters to ietters@aiiigatororg, bring them to 1105W University Ay or send them to P0 Box 14257, Gainesvi Iie, FL 32604-2257 i umns of about 450 words about original topics and editorial cartoons are also welcome Questions?

If at any point you walked by a redhead on campus with a disproportionately raised eyebrow, that was probably me, and you were probably wearing/doing/saying something I considered questionable. If you walk into class wearing a skirt as a dress, I judge you. If your Facebook status updates are only about how much you love your boyfriend, I judge you while blocking you on my newsfeed. If you happen to state in your newspaper design class, "I don't know why I have so much trouble in this class. I designed my apartment, and it's really cute!" -Boom. Judged. If you're the guy who was in the journalism school last Wednesday wearing an Ohio State University shirt, I'm really judging you. I also wonder if you have a death wish. Face it. Everybody makes judgments about everybody else based on superficial things or first impressions. My worldview was validated at age 10 when my mom forced me to read "The Phantom Tollbooth" after I refused because the cover looked stupid. I hated it. Judging gets a bad rap. That said, my judgments are pretty flexible. I might openly think a girl's headband is ridiculous, but I won't stop being someone's friend because she wears leggings as pants. And I realize that the judgment street runs both ways. As Jane Austen wrote in "Pride and Prejudice," "For what do we live but to make sport for our neighbors and laugh at them in our turn?" (Yeah, that was kind of pretentious. Feel free to judge.) I've also found judging helpful in situations beyond people-watching at bars. Some decisions that your friends make are really stupid and deserve judgment. Excessive drug and alcohol use fall into this category, as does staying in an abusive relationship. Everyone needs a friend at times like these, but no one was ever helped by his or her friends reserving judgment on self-destructive behavior. The world might be a better place if we were all more honest about what we thought of others' actions. Making judgments about people can save you from bad relationship decisions, too. Does he seem sketchy? Does your friend seem untrustHilary Lehman worthy? If it's a judgment based on ette rs@a Iligator org more than clothing or taste in music, it's probably valid. I've heard the argument that if you make a judgment too soon, you can miss out on getting to know someone great, and I won't say that's untrue. Maybe that works for you. But I'm going to make a judgment and guess that you've never been seriously hurt by someone you had refused to judge despite ample evidence. If you've been through that and can still believe in human nature enough to avoid making character judgments, more power to you. You have more faith than I do. I know I've got a platform here from which to judge, so I'll even the playing field. I love Fleetwood Mac. I'm not sure I've ever broken a 10-minute mile. I used to watch "Charmed" reruns in the morning with some regularity. I can quote portions of "The Lord of the Rings" movies at length. I had a rolling backpack in high school. I think Sam Bradford is more attractive than Tim Tebow. Feel better? It's actually pretty freeing when you realize that people make both positive and negative judgments about you every day, no matter what you do. But in the end, we're all too consumed by self-judgment to spend too much time on other people. Unless you're the girl I saw twice last week with a hairstyle apparently inspired by Cindy Lou Who. I dropped what I was doing and judged you. Both times. Hilary Lehman is an journalism senior. Her column appears on Wednesday. The views expressed here are not necessarily those of the Alligator.

Guest column Public 'shaming' detracts from compassion, love s posing nude shameful? Two weeks ago at the Teen Choice Awards, Dane Cook called out Vanessa Hudgens (the girl from "High School Musical") for leaking explicit camera-phone pictures of herself online. "Girl," he said before presenting the Choice Hottie award, "you gots to keep your clothes on! Phones are for phone calls, girl." It was a pretty light rebuke. Any time you say someone "gots to" do something, you can't be completely in attack mode. But people reacted as if he had gone too far: The crowd booed him; the clip was cut from the final show and pages of YouTube comments called the quip unfunny. That's quite a surprise considering people usually love denouncing slutty celebrities. I think the difference is that Cook wasn't making fun of Hudgens. He was shaming her. Society thinks that pornography is wrong. And when one person publicly tells another person on behalf of a group that something is wrong, that's shame. Hudgens knew she was being shamed. As soon as Cook finished, her face withered from that endearing look that says "I'm cute and modest about being singled out for special attention" to a blank stare where she felt the alienating disapproval of thousands of people. All the teens who are riled up about the comment are really just angry because shame is uncomfortable. When they hear Hudgens being shamed for taking her clothes off, they hear their own fathers berating them in front of friends for staying out too late, wearing immodest clothes and having too many boyfriends. Everyone's a little bit of an outcast. Will Penman That's the Speaking Out problem, I think, with shame. It doesn't change people's attitudes, just their behavior. It's possible Hudgens will never go topless again. But if she does, this strategy of shame will only further ingrain in her a sense that she can't live up to expectations. Shame is the voice of the group convincing the individual to get in line. As modern Americans, though, we don't really believe the group deserves a voice. "The Scarlet Letter" scares us. Action motivated externally by public opinion is cheap. I'm not saying we should just sit back and approve. Cultivating lust through pornography prizes passion over selfcontrol and self-absorption over sacrificial love. In a world where I'm just as capable of child abuse or of walking out on my wife as the next guy, self-control and sacrificial love are important. It's just that the deeper the problem is, the less surface treatments like shame will be effective. How should we respond to Hudgens? I can think of several solutions. We could destroy all camera phones. We could finance Obama's health care plan with a sin tax on porn, settling for physical well-being at the expense of moral health. We could ignore her. But looking away isn't always sufficient. Best of all is to remember that you can love people even when they're wrong. Love encourages; shame tugs with the disemboweling hook of social disappointment. And with that, our conscience relieved, we can get back to the winner of the Choice Hottie award. Will Penman is an English senior.

8, ALLIGATOR U WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2,2009 "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" SG discusses $14M budget SENATE, from page 1 The $14 million 2010-2011 budget was a hot topic of debate, when an hourlong discussion ensued over senators' questions about how students' money was planning to be spent. The budget is comprised of students' activity and service fees and is used to fund SG-sponsored organizations. It will be voted on during next Tuesday's meeting. Student Body Treasurer Maryam Laguna said SG will hire a consulting firm to evaluate the needs of SG and how to make SG more efficient for the student body. SG is allocating $15,500 for this project, and the firm has not been chosen yet. But Orange and Blue Party Sen. Ben Cavataro questioned why SG was spending so much when it could hire Gators. Laguna said that a firm, unlike UF students, has experience working with other student governments across the country. "We're students, she said. "No one has enough time or energy to commit to something like this." Laguna announced the reinstatement of The New York Times readership program at the cost of $60,300. She said she received legitimate suggestions from the student body about how the program would improve the student experience. Orange and Blue Party Sen. Jon Ossip said almost 2,000 students joined a Facebook group to keep the paper on campus, he said. "These are the people that saved The New York Times," he said. Senators also dished out about $2,230 to four different organizations, including Doctors without Borders, Hope for Haiti, Invisible Children and Amnesty International.

Organizers also plan to announce another surprise act as early as next week, Sloan said. He said organizers had to get creative in promoting the show and recruiting sponsors this year, asking for help or trading services with the Gainesville Area Chamber of Commerce, UF's Alumni Association and Gator Domino's. Some students are pleased with the results so far. "I am very excited about having O.A.R. at Gator Growl this year," UF accounting sophomore Ethan Latinsky said. "They are an awesome band and one that I have always wanted to hear live." Aside from appealing to a college audience, Griffin said O.A.R. was also chosen because of the band's philanthropic background. Growl is now in its 86th year and is being promoted as the largest student-run pep rally in the world, with more than 500 student volunteers. The theme of the show, "Legends of the Swamp," is meant to honor the football greats who have passed through the Swamp over the years.

Sports WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2009 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org UF FOOTBALL Running back trio set to take pressure off Tebow By BOBBY CALLOVI Alligator Staff Writer bcallovi@alligator org Tim Tebow can finally rest his legs some. Although the quarterback will still play a large role in the running game, Florida feels comfortable with its three running backs heading into the season. For most of the last two seasons, the Gators had no one they could trust to hand the ball off to so that Tebow wouldn't have to carry the ball the majority of the time. By the end of last year, freshmen Chris Rainey and Jeff Demps emerged as viable options in the backfield to take some of the load off from Tebow, who carried the ball 176 times last season. The two speedsters along with junior Emmanuel Moody, who is now healthy enough to contribute, have earned the confidence of coach Urban Meyer this offseason, and will be counted on to take most of the carries. "I've been very critical of that position and deservedly so," Meyer said. "We have not had the Division I-A, highest level of college football level tailback. "We have been at receiver, we have been at quarterback, but we are getting close. I'm not as worried about handing off as I used to be." Rainey and Demps showed plenty of big-play potential last year, both averaging 7.8 yards per carry on their way to more than 600 rushing yards each, but neither had more than 85 carries on the year -Rainey finished with 84, and Demps had 78. Besides Tebow, the Gators relied heavily on wide receiver Percy Harvin in the run game. Harvin carried the ball 70 times for 660 yards and 10 touchdowns. To prepare the trio of backs for increased roles in the offense, running backs coach Kenny Carter worked on making the three players more well-rounded. "We worked on all the minor details of the position that really separate you from others like being efficient in movement, being really technical when it comes to pass protection," Carter said. "All those things are critical of SEE FOOT, PAGE 16 Harrison Diamond/ Alligator Staff UF running back Jeff Demps has impressed the coaching staff with his ability to catch passes and pass protect in addition to running the football. Demps has been named the starter for the season opener. Gators respond to loss of Elliott By EUGENIO TORRENS Alligator Writer etorrens@a IIigator org From orange soccer cleats to metallic crutches. Ashlee Elliott's senior season came to a screeching halt when she tore her left ACL in the 16th minute of Florida's soccer match against USF on Sunday. Elliott had the ball and was waiting for a teammate when the ball got caught up under her feet. She tried to move her upper body but turned too far on her left knee. "It didn't even hurt, it was just like a shock," Elliott said. "I was like, 'Man, did I just do what I think I did?"' She started walking and figured immediately it was a torn ACL. She got an MRI during halftime and received texts detailing the game she had left. Elliott said Tuesday she didn't want to redshirt and was still planning on graduating in December and trying to break into Women's Professional Soccer in the spring. Some of her teammates didn't realize the magnitude of the injury when Elliott went down. Goalkeeper Katie Fraine figured Elliott wouldn't even need a substitute. When midfielder Lindsay Thompson heard it was Elliott's knee, she immediately assumed an ACL injury, which would mean Soccer the end of Elliott's season. Midfielder Tahnai Annis, who scored the winning goal against South Florida, called the ordeal "surreal." "It's definitely a reality check for everyone," Annis said. Elliott's absence eliminates one of the team's most sure-fire offensive weapons. Annis said Elliott was an integral part of the attack -a target at forward who could post up or face up and go. SEE SOCCER, PAGE 16 BCS encourages cupcakes Doubt very much that many Gators fans are giddy at the thought of seeing Charleston Southern, Troy and FilU in The Swamp this season. The matchups are less than intriguing and far more than "a bit of a mismatch," as one reporter put it to UF coach Urban Meyer in a press conference on Monday. In that same press conference, Meyer reiterated a point he has made time and again throughout the offseason: It is not the Gators goal to play the toughest schedule in the nation. Furthermore, it's probably not their goal to play a tough schedule at all. Call him conservative, scared or even elitist. I'll call him smart. Unfortunately, thereisnoplayoff in college football.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2009 U ALLIGATOR, 15 Debose's unusual injury slows decision LB DUSTIN DOE WILL MISS THE CHARLESTON SOUTHERN GAME. By MIKE McCALL Alligator Staff Writer mmccaIl@a Iligator org Receiver Andre Debose's first year at Florida is in limbo. Coach Urban Meyer said he would meet with Debose's parents and doctors Tuesday night to discuss whether Debose needs surgery to repair tendon damage in his hamstring. Meyer stopped short of saying that surgery would mean a redshirt for Debose, but he would miss a large chunk of the season at the least. "It's an unusual injury," Meyer said. "Coach [Mickey Marottil told me they found [a specialist] somewhere who has more information. Once again, I'm not in the medical profession, but what doctors do is, if they have experience with it, there's no issue. "If they don't have experience with it, they call around and talk to colleagues. He has one of those unusual ones, and our training staff has not dealt with this before." Meyer should make an announcement regarding Debose's treatment plans Wednesday. DOE SUSPENDED FOR OPEN E R: Meyer said senior linebacker Dustin Doe is suspended for the Gators' opener against Charleston Southern on Saturday. Doe was arrested in July after repeatedly driving with a suspended license and recently rejoined the team. Meyer added that he will consider Doe's status on a week-to-week basis, and he could miss more games. w V Pub")o %?.tv% Put Inl % i I ) CO W D Ca Ca Andrew Stanfill / Alligator Staff UF wide receiver Andre Debose (4) still does not know his fate for this season.

16, ALLIGATOR U WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2009 Thompson moves to forward Andrew Stanfill / Alligator Staff UF sophomore Lindsay Thompson (18) will be counted on to help replace Ashlee Elliott up front. Thompson played midfield as a freshman. UF may utilize two-back sets FOOT, from page 14 what you need to do in this offense as a back." Not only will the three be relied on to take more carries, but they will also be key in pass protection. Last year, the Gators used Kestahn Moore to block for the quarterback from the running back position. With Moody the only one of the three who weighs more than 200 pounds, pass protection has been a major focus in practices. For Rainey, it wasn't just his on-the-field shortcomings that needed work this offseason. Carter sat him down after last season and warned him that if he did not start studying the plays more, he would not play in the fall. "The pressure was turned up this summer, and he knew he needed to take ownership and really bear down and do more than just train," Carter said. "I told him. The head coach told him. The Pounceys told him. It was a no-brainer. He bought in." Rainey has pleased the coaches with his new dedication, but him and Moody will start the game on the bench watching Demps, who Football Meyer named the starter. Neither are likely to wait long especially with UF using two-back formations this season. The three will be counted on to take some pressure off Tebow in the running game, but they will be aided by having each other to share the role. "With a group of guys, like the running backs we got, it's nice because you've got security behind you," Demps said. SOCCER, from page 14 Thompson, who rotated with Elliott against the Bulls on Sunday, may now be relied upon more than she anticipated. While Thompson plays more with speed, she can't possibly match the size -or experience -Elliott provided. Thompson didn't play forward last year so she is still getting used to it. "It's definitely more offensive oriented," Thompson said. "You hardly have any defensive responsibilities." And while Elliott may have been a primarily offensive player, Fraine will miss her downfield target. "(Elliott)'s always a target on goal kicks and punts and stuff like that just because of her amazing ability to win balls in the air," Fraine said. "I'm going to have to find a new target player. Jessica (Eicken) can do it, Lindsay (Thompson) can do it. "It's just that (Elliott) definitely stands out in a crowd." While Elliott is powerless to help the team on the field, she can be just as caKYLE, from page 14 the top dog, and Meyer knows that. What I find interesting is that line of thinking is in sharp contrast to that of college basketball, a reasonable sport with a performance-based system for determining a champion. The UF men's basketball team is taking on Michigan State, Syracuse, NC State and Xavier in its nonconference schedule this year, and those games can only help them -the polar opposite of college football. If the Gators lose those games it's no big deal -only a few more losses on the resume. But if they win, suddenly they've bolstered their NCAA Tournament resume and stand to make the field of 65 and possibly earn a highranking seed. Billy Donovan's goal should be to make the toughest schedule in the nation, because in the end you're only rewarded for it. There's many arguments for why the NCAA "She's going to help everybody and you're going to hear her on the sidelines, that's for sure." Lindsay Thompson UF sophomore forward pable as ever off of it. Whether it's her work in rehab or providing an extra pair of eyes to hold people accountable on the field, Elliott can still be an invaluable aid to the team, as well as being one of the most enthusiastic cheerleaders for the team. "She's going to help everybody and you're going to hear her on the sidelines, that's for sure," Thompson said. Elliott's injury comes as a surprise, but in the world of sports such an injury is commonplace. And while injuries are liable to happen any time, any place and to anyone, Elliott's teammates can't afford to let their inhibitions tame their play. "If you're out there playing afraid to get hurt, you're not going to play your best," Fraine said. should install a playoff system in college football and this one should be at the top of the list. Fans get cheated out of sweet potential matchups, like Florida-Utah, because one loss can cripple your chances of winning a national championship. March Madness is the single greatest postseason sporting event, and I can only imagine what an end-of-the-year tournament would do for the college football environment. Not only would the tournament be wildly entertaining and crown a worthy king of college football, it would allow coaches like Meyer to keep the Charleston Southerns and FIUs of the world off their schedule. For now, the Floridas and Ohio States of the world will continue to schedule cream puffs because that's what will help them win a championship within the BCS formula.
