TROY 6 & P UF 56


Gators trounce Trojans; date with Vols looms


* KIFFIN'S COMMENTS ARE
POSTED IN THE LOCKER
ROOM.

By KYLE MAISTRI
Alligator Staff Writer
kmalstrl@alllgatororg

After Saturday's 56-6 romping of
Troy, it took Florida no time at all to
publicly turn its attention to Tennes-
see.
Privately, the Gators have been
eyeing Saturday's showdown with
the Volunteers and new head coach
Lane Kiffin, who made waves with a
variety of offseason comments about
Florida, since the team reported for
fall practice.
Offensive lineman James Wilson,
who committed to play for Kiffin
when he was an assistant coach at
USC, said there has been a calendar
in the weight room counting down
the days until Tennessee comes to
town.
"It's all over our locker room, that's
something you don't forget," Wilson
said. "It's going to be a show."
The Volunteers mark the first con-
ference test for the Gators, who did
exactly what was expected of them in
their two warmup games.
UF dominated on defense, looked


explosive on offense and made a few
big special teams plays, all while get-
ting the backups plenty of work as
the starters came off the field by the
third quarter.
The final whistle at the end of the
Troy game marked nothing more
than the start of the third week of the
season and the usual matchup with
the Volunteers.
"I would be lying if I said there's
not a little something different when-
ever we play Tennessee or one of the
rivals, and I think that's a great thing
about it," UF quarterback Tim Tebow
said. "That's the great thing about it
and about SEC play, it's a little dif-
ferent."
It may feel a little different for
Tebow and his teammates, but UF
has made Tennessee look like just an-
other team the last two years.
When the Volunteers last came to
The Swamp in 2007, the Gators put 59
points on the board on their way to a
39-point win, and a year ago, Tebow
and company leaned on the defense
in a 30-6 victory in Knoxville.
Tennessee has made a coaching
change since then, replacing long-
time coach Phillip Fulmer with Kif-
fin, who wasted no time reviving the
rivalry upon his arrival.

Machen slashes $16M

UF will try to avoid more cuts to aca-
demic programs when it cuts the remain-
ing $16.6 million from its budget, UF Presi-
dent Bernie Machen said Friday.
Machen told the Board of Trustees the
remaining cuts will come from administra-
tive programs, such as sick leave payouts.
Outlining his plan, Machen told trust-
ees that UF could save between $2 million
and $4 million if it eliminated sick leave

payouts for employees.
Employees who don't use their sick
days are paid after leaving UF. That pro-
gram would be cut under the proposal.
In another proposal, UF would start
paying faculty
U F a fixed summer
Administration rate. Under this,
some senior fac-
ulty would get a pay cut, according to UF's
Web site.
All told, UF's current plans could cut
up to $8.5 million. The rest of the cuts are
still in the air, Machen said.

UF plans new study center


BY THOMAS STEWART
Alligator Staff Writer
tstewart@alligator org

UF is planning a new study center to
give students some extra reading room.
Though the university still has to cut
$16.6 million from its budget this year,
it plans to use $12 million in stimulus
funds to build a 24-hour study center on
campus.
"This is a project that is badly in
need," UF President Bernie Machen told
the Board of Trustees Friday.
"If you come by the library at 5
o'clock, you can see that it's packed," he
said.
"People are using the library for

studying. They're not there for the
books."
Because stimulus funds can't be used
on new construction projects, an existing
building on campus
must be modified into
the study center.
Officials declined
to say where the new
study center will be lo-
cated, but Ed Poppell,
UF's vice president for
Machen business affairs, said
it will be on the north
side of campus and close to food ven-
ues.
UF will get about $41 million in stim-

Reading center gets


50 percent budget cut


* TUTORING CENTER SEES
REDUCED STAFF, HOURS.

By OLGA VELEZ
Alligator Contributing Writer

Students seeking help with com-
mas and colons may run into trouble
due to budget cuts at the Reading and
Writing Center.
"We have seen a 50 percent budget
cut," said Martin Simpson, the director
of the center, which is located on the
Broward Hall's mezzanine level.
Simpson said one of the biggest ef-
fects of the cuts, which were made in
July, is the center's hours.
The center used to be open to stu-
dents from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday
through Friday. Now it is open 10 a.m.
to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday
and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday.
The center has also reduced its staff
by almost half, Simpson said.
"I had 13 tutors last time around,


and now we are down to about seven,"
he said. "Of those 13, there were only
two layoffs. The rest were people who
had graduated."
Shorter hours and fewer employees
have affected the center's services.
Tutor Ariel Gunn said the number
of walk-ins the center can accommodate
has decreased.
"Before, probably maybe half or
more of our busi-
U F ness was walk-ins,
Academics andnowweareable
to see maybe one or
two walk-ins a day," Gunn said.
It is also becoming more difficult
for students to make an appointment.
"We book several days in advance
so that it is becoming harder and hard-
er for them to make appointments and
come in," said Tutor Lauren Glenn.
"We are at the beginning of the
semester right now, and it is already
busy. I am guessing that we are going
to have to turn people away at an un-
believable rate," she said.


Dogs, owners run for cause
By MARIA PIQUET with their English springer spaniel dogs,
Alligator Contributing Writer and Deuce.


Runners of two species crowded the start-
ing line at Saturday's Dog Days Run at West-
side Park, waiting for the race to begin.
UF's College of Veterinary Medicine and
the Florida Track Club hosted the 28th annual
run. The event included a 5K run for people, a
1-mile Fun Run for dogs and their owners, a
raffle and awards ceremony.
"It brings out a lot of people in the commu-
nity and connects them with the vet school,"
said Annie Martin, the event coordinator and a
second-year student at UF's veterinary school.
Leslie Lear and Rob Barnes attended the
event for their third year to support the vet
school and have fun with their dogs.
"We like doing this because it's for a good
cause," Lear said. "The vet school takes care
of our dogs. They've really helped us when
they've gotten in trouble."
Dressed in brown shorts with white spots,
brown leggings, brown ears made out of fabric
and wearing face paint, the couple intended
to win the Dog and Owner Look-Alike award

"This is one of the only events where we
can run with our dogs and dress up like it's
Halloween," Barnes said. "It's just fun."
"This is like StairMaster for us."
Jeremy Delcambre
event participant

Gretchen Henry and Jeremy Delcambre at-
tended the event for the first time after mov-
ing to Gainesville from Louisiana three weeks
ago.
Dressed in purple and gold, they and their
dogs, Logan and Kesi, showed their Lousiana
State University pride.
"Maybe we'll win bravest costume," Del-
cambre said.
Delacambre also ran the 5K and said
Gainesville is hilly compared to Baton Rouge.
"This is like StairMaster for us," he said.
The event benefited UF's student chapter
of the American Veterinary Medical Associa-
tion and the Alliance for Rabies Control. Each
group received half the proceeds, Martin said.

Volunteers feed 120 homeless in honor of Ramadan


* ABOUT 70 VOLUNTEERS
SERVED FOOD DOWNTOWN.

By NICOLE LA HOZ
Alligator Contributing Writer

On Friday, about 120 of
Gainesville's homeless gathered
around the Bo Diddley Commu-
nity Plaza's picnic area to eat In-
dian food.
In honor of Ramadan, the Mus-
lim Association of North Central
Florida (MANCF) got together
with Project Downtown, a group
of volunteers who serve food to
the homeless every Saturday af-
ternoon.
UF graduate student Ziad
Ghanimi said in a press release
that during Ramadan, Muslims
abstain from food or drinks from
sunrise to sunset to experience
what the less fortunate face every
day.
Ghanimi, MANCF spokesman
and Project Downtown board
member, said about 70 volunteers
came to help out.
Ghanimi said each week vol-
unteers cook anything from Mo-
roccan to Pakistani to American
dishes to hand out to the local


homeless population.

thalmologist Nausheen Khud-

said.
She said it took about six to
seven hours to prepare the meal.

much more needs to be
done."

Because it was Sept. 11, Ab-
dulrahman Zeinomar, a UF biol-
ogy senior and director of Project
Downtown, said he was glad all
the homeless who came left with
a positive impact.
Both MANCF and Project
Downtown ensure that the orga-
nizations do not spread religious
messages.
The goal is to "feed only, not
to preach," Ghanimi said, add-
ing they can get their sandwiches
and go or choose to stay and so-
cialize.

Editorial

Corporate Cost

Court should keep limits

on campaign ads
The Supreme Court is debating whether to overthrow
campaign finance laws that prohibit corporations
from spending unlimited amounts of money on po-
litical advertisements and endorsements right before an
election.
The issue originally came to the court when it was asked
to decide whether "Hillary: The Movie," produced by a
nonprofit corporation, fell into the category of "electioneer-
ing communication." In the rehearing, the Supreme Court
evoked the broader issue of First Amendment rights.
By definition, a corporation is a legally separate entity
from those who own or operate it. Limiting the political out-
put of a corporation, then, does not infringe on First Amend-
ment rights to free speech for any individual.
If the Supreme Court overturns laws like the McCain-
Feingold Act, it will be similar to letting those with the most
money scream the loudest (and last) and have the most per-
vasive influence on American politics.
The Roberts court needs to recognize that a corporation
is not an individual.
It also needs to recognize that many investors in corpora-
tions are foreign individuals or entities. The money funneled
by corporations into political action committees is enough.
Not to mention that any country that gives a mega-cor-
poration the leverage to potentially destroy any non-allied
political candidate is basically the opposite of a democracy.


Swift Rebuke


While we didn't
know that anyone
still watched the
MTV Video Music Awards
(the last time we remem-
ber watching it, it involved
strawberry yogurt with
rainbow sprinkles and the
privilege of staying up late),
it came to our attention that
a certain atrocity occurred
on last night's show.
After checking Facebook
at work, we had some vague
indication (or about 700 no-
tifications) that Kanye West
acted like Kanye West, and
apparently, his actions re-
sulted in outrage.
Being responsible jour-
nalists, we quickly flocked
to PerezHilton.com to see
footage of the outburst.
Swift's video is an atroci-
ty. It follows a mute girl who
is in love with her next door
neighbor and can only com-
municate with him through
handwritten signs.
She eventually wins the


heart of the quarterback.
Predictable much?
Kanye West decided it
was permissible to jump on
stage and declare Beyonc6
the "real" winner of the Best
Female Music Video award
Beyonc6 's video is un-
doubtedly superior, but
we would like to denounce
Kanye West for both hurt-
ing that poor girl's feelings
and wasting our valuable
time at work.
We can only imagine
Swift's internal reaction, but
we think her tender, 19-year-
old heart was likely impaled
on that moonman's flag.
Kanye West's actions are
unacceptable, even if they
were on a low-rate award
show for a dead medium.
His constant search for
validation and attention
reached a new low when
he decided to showcase his
egoism at the expense of a
girl on the cusp of achieving
her dreams.

Opinions


ALIVE!


REWARD:

a great experience


he United States of America desperately needs Wil-
liam F. Buckley to rise up from the grave.
As the erudite founder of the National Review
and host of the television political debate show "Firing
Line," Buckley gave conservatism a great name and mes-
sage with his more than 30 books on the subject.
When the avid sailor, who hailed from Connecticut and
attended Yale, died more than a year ago, so did the last
chance of ever intellectualizing politics again.
Buckley, one of the founders of the modern conserva-
tive movement that ushered Ronald Reagan into office,
was the very definition of the elitism so many conserva-
tives today are taught to disdain.
He was a New England sailor educated in the best pri-
vate schools. A man who drove an Austin Healey instead
of a Dodge Ram, and the only Irish Catholic who could
manage to make Gore Vidal sound like an undereducated
simpleton, instead of the snob he resembles. But Buckley
wasn't an elitist for those reasons; he was an elitist because
he was always the smartest man in the room.
And because of this certitude this, as some would
call, arrogance Buckley would have never howled "You
Lie!" at the president of the United States during a joint
session of Congress, as Congressman Joe Wilson, R-S.C.,
did Wednesday night. Buckley simply would have scoffed
quietly, and then eloquently made his point after the pres-
ident had finished his address.
Besides the single time he ran for mayor of New York
City in the 1960s as a way to steal votes away from an-
other Republican candidate whose conservative creden-
tials Buckley doubted, Buckley himself was too smart to
have ever run for public office. He knew that the mass
public wouldn't have been as impressed as his fellow Yale
debate teammates were by his expansive vocabulary and
penchant for reasoned postulation. Buckley knew who the
voters wanted.

The voters wanted folks like Joe
Wilson representing their interests
in Washington, not because they
thought that Wilson and his ilk
knew best or were reasonably in-
formed about policy, but because
Matthew Christ they simply passed the regular-guy
letters@allgator org sniff test.
"The best argument against de-
mocracy is a five-minute conversa-
tion with the average voter," Winston Churchill once hu-
morously said. When thousands marched on Washington
Saturday holding posters of President Barack Obama and
Speaker Nancy Pelosi with Adolf Hitler mustache doo-
dled on, some are probably wondering if Churchill was
onto something.
Sure, Buckley didn't have all the answers, and he cer-
tainly wasn't always right. But he elevated the national
discourse. Where are his followers? Where are the Repub-
licans who understand that a topic with the life and death
implications of health care reform can't be discussed be-
tween people who don't know the first difference between
fascism and socialism?
Where are the Republicans who don't disdain intel-
lectual excellence, but disdain people who think the word
"elite" is a bad attribute for a politician, but not a Navy
SEAL? Where are the Republicans who are passionate
about their viewpoints, but not crazed? When will this si-
lent majority of the GOP rise up against the latest asinine
coalition of tea bag protesters unwilling to debate specif-
ics, but clinging to vague rumors and hazy ideologies?
Democrats have a person who elevates the national dis-
course. He spoke Wednesday night. It's high time for the
Republicans to find Obama's equal.

Letters to the Editor
Bright Futures should be solely
need- or merit-based
Students should lose scholarship op-
portunities if their parents are successful.
Sure, some of those students deserve
the money, but there are so many more
who need it. Everyone knows need trumps
ability.
So what if the brightest among us
choose to continue their education past an
undergraduate degree?
The debt that they incurred during
their first four years should be embraced
as a social necessity to support their less
gifted brothers.
Those who are less gifted should be
entitled to the same opportunities as the
cream of the crop, without thinking of any
return on investment. Everyone knows it
is righteous to provide for the unearned.
Florida Bright Futures must either be-
come solely need-based or ability-based.
There is no middle ground for it to sur-
vive upon.
If you believe that a family with an
income of $100,000 can support children
through just the first four years of a col-
lege education without taking on any ma-
jor debt, I suggest you try to find such a
household.
Shall we turn another state program
into a competition of who can claim the
least, or into a competition of who can
achieve the most? And by most I do not
mean a 970 SAT and a 3.0 GPA.
Students cannot help their parents' eco-
nomic status, but they can help their own
academic success.

Scholarships should be
based on merit, not need
Kyle Robisch wrote of how Bright Fu-
tures should be based solely on "need,"
but then he goes on to talk of how you
don't "deserve" Bright Futures if you can't
pull the minimum GPA and SAT.
Which is it Kyle? If it's based only on
need, then merit wouldn't play a role at
all.
Needing something is based upon your
financial bearings, deserving something is
based upon your merit and credentials.
If we based Bright Futures awards ex-
clusively on need, it would mean exhaust-
ing the last source of scholarships that
many students who don't have a financial
need (but academically deserve) have.
Scholarships should be based on merit


and not need. Need is covered by govern-
ment aid, grants and loans.
If people want scholarships, then they
need to earn them, whether they need
them or not. Bright Futures recipients who
academically deserved Bright Futures
have a right to be upset. They earned that
money.
The students who need more should
really make an effort to work harder dur-
ing high school so that they are awarded
scholarships not only because they need
them, but because they deserve them.
A student with a 4.0 GPA and a 1400
SAT score whose parents make $100,000
a year should receive a scholarship over a
student with a 3.0 and a 1000 SAT whose
parents make $30,000.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair to the
student who worked his or her ass off.
By the way Kyle, how do you expect
anyone to take your column seriously
when you begin it telling us to "quit bitch-
ing"?
Seriously.

Removing Bright Futures puts
strain on students' budgets
Kyle Robisch, have you ever heard of
a personal budget? I'm a UF junior who
relies on Florida Bright Futures, and I'm
grappling with the concept of money man-
agement.
I'll be the first to admit, it's not as easy
as the math would seem but part of that
is due to the cuts in Bright Futures.
When my parents sat me down to talk
finances before my freshman year, we
worked out a rough budget and agreed on
how to split expenses.
I'll admit that I am skating by without
paying rent, utilities, insurance or my cell
phone bill that's what we agreed. My
expenses include textbooks, groceries,
cleaning supplies, toiletries, car mainte-
nance, gas and fun money.
That list is not short, and the items on
it are hardly petty. And the truth of the
matter is that each semester I have had a
budget of roughly $2,000, thanks to the
comforts of Bright Futures combined with
savings.
This semester, my check back was only
$1,300 and the $500 I'm down from
the textbook allotment is really putting a
strain on my long-term planning.
You can argue that I didn't rightly de-
serve my award although I graduated


in the top 2 percent of my class and you
can argue that students should have to pay
for classes that they drop.
But my point is that students who have
relied on Bright Futures for the last few
years are being affected by the cuts, and
their collective fiscal plans have been de-
railed. An annual difference of $1,000 may
not seem like a lot, but for a student living
(out of pocket) on $3,000 a year, it's a huge
blow.
So before you tell everyone to stop
whining, consider that we don't all pay
dues to Greek organizations, frequent
Starbucks or hit the bars nightly.
Instead of advocating cutting a pro-
gram that helps educate millions, consider
how it helps many avoid debt while still
fulfilling their dreams and teaching money
management skills that transcend calling
Daddy for more dollars.
The more appropriate resolution for the
program is to raise standards for all levels
of the award, so that only those who really
work for it will benefit.

Need-based system not an
answer to Bright Futures
While I wholeheartedly agree that the
"woe is me" attitude in response to the
Bright Futures cutback is ridiculous and
just straight-up annoying, a need-based
system is not the answer.
Sure, lots of students of wealthy fami-
lies are receiving aid through Bright Fu-
tures instead of their parents paying their
tuition, but just because a family's income
is $100,000 does not mean the student ever
sees any of that.
My parents make close to that, and yet
I'm working two jobs to pay my own rent
because I've been financially independent
since the age of sixteen.
I don't qualify for any type of need-
based aid because my parents make
enough money to pay my tuition.
Too bad they're not the ones paying it.
Financial need is not always the best
way to determine who deserves a scholar-
ship.
Bright Futures is a merit-based scholar-
ship. It was created to reward students for
their academic achievements. It is a prize,
a privilege, not a right.
Students are supposed to earn this
scholarship, not have it handed to them.
I think the program should maintain its
goal of keeping the brightest students in


Florida by increasing the standards for the
scholarship.
Let's face it: A 970 on the SAT and a
weighted 3.0 are not that hard to come by.
Are those students really the brightest?
Up the ante and reward fewer stu-
dents (the brightest ones who have actu-
ally earned it) to keep the program merit-
based, not need-based.

Protest would drive down
food costs on campus
Students are to blame for the high food
prices on campus.
Yep, that's right. I blame you guys, ev-
ery last one of you who eats on campus.
I know it takes five minutes in the
morning to throw two slices of bread to-
gether with some meat and cheese, but
that five minutes will save you 20 in the
Subway line.
I bring my lunch every day I can. When
they were open, I was a faithful Wendy's
dollar burger patron when I couldn't bring
lunch.
Now that that's gone, I usually starve
until I make my way to an off-campus food
joint with friends, or I just go home.
My father told me a story about when
they raised the price on soda machines
from 50 cents to 75 cents in Kentucky. He
got the students together for a good old-
fashioned boycott.
Within a month, those sodas were back
down to 50 cents and stayed that price for
more than a year.
I've been in silent protest of the food in
the Reitz Union for about a year, but no
more silence. Stop paying for it and the
price will come down.
Better yet, let's just boycott for free re-
fills. I'd pay $20 for a cup I could refill all
semester, because my friends are probably
paying $40 to drink soda.
Add it up for every day you want a soda
- you're usually spending close to $3.
If you drink only 10 days out of the
whole semester, you're already at $30.
Of course, if Aramark didn't own the
university's stomach we could get a Mc-
Donald's and there would be some real
competition. Compare with the 460 calo-
ries McDonald's sells for a buck, along
with free refills.
Now that would be a real accomplish-
ment.

Demonstrators gather to protest Islam on Sept. 11


* ABOUT 30 PEOPLE
ATTENDED.

By CJ PRUNER
Alligator Writer

Henrik Boecken is too young to
remember Sept. 11, but he wants ev-
eryone to know what happened the
day that brought America's heart-
beat to a jolting halt.
Boecken, 11, along with 30 other
members of the Dove World Out-
reach Center church, took to the
streets to commemorate Sept. 11
Friday.
Wearing their now-famous "Is-
lam is of the Devil" shirts, the group
lined up along Newberry Road near
the Oaks Mall to voice their position
- that Islam is not a religion of peace
but of violence and aggression.
"Every church should be spread-
ing this message, but they're too
scared to speak out," said Terry
Jones, the church's pastor. "This is
a Christian nation. It needs to stay a
Christian nation."
Jones called Islam a violent and
dangerous religion, citing Sept. 11 as
evidence.
The protest participants ranged
from children whose American flags
dwarfed their bodies to adults. They
waved giant signs proclaiming, "No
to Sharia [Islamic religious] Law,"
"2,993 Murdered" and "Jesus is Not


a Liberal."
Many belted out patriotic songs
and religious hymns in cadence to
the sounds of guitars, tambourines
and honking horns.
Jones, whose wife, Sylvia, helped
plan and organize the rally, said their
message is one of love, not hate.
"We don't yell, scream or cuss.
We're not bad people," he said.
"We don't hate Muslims. Jesus loves
Muslims. It's their religion that we
have a problem with."
Boecken said to remain silent on
the issue is unacceptable.
"I don't like to stand back and do
nothing," said Boecken, who came
to the rally with his family. "When
I grow up, I don't want to wear
scarves and be forced to believe in
something that I don't believe."
For the Boecken family, the issue
of whether the church's message
oversteps the boundaries of politi-
cal correctness hit home. Martin and
Andy Boecken, 15 and 17, were sus-
pended for three days from Eastside
High School for wearing the anti-
Islam T-shirts.
"You have kids wearing clothes
with skulls and naked girls, and the
teachers don't say anything. Mean-
while, we wear a shirt that just has
the initials I.I.O.T.D., and we get
sent home for three days; I just don't
get it," Andy Boecken said.
The reaction from passing drivers
ranged from supportive to furious as

test against Islam on the anniversary of Sept. 11 in front of the Oaks Mall on Friday afternoon.

Jones admitted the church's mes- church's mission, the opinion of the Bible and Jesus
sage may be seen as controversial "We're not in the political busi- Christ."

ulus money this year and about the same in
the next fiscal year.
Construction will start sometime in the
next fiscal year, which begins July 2010.
The center will likely encompass 30,000
to 35,000 square feet, he said, and might be
able to fit between 600 and 800 students.
Poppell said the costs will be high be-


cause of the restrictions on the project.
"Renovation costs more than building a
new building," he said.
And there's a good chance the building
will be listed in the National Register of
Historic Places, he said, which means the
renovation must keep the original look.
The plan is to keep the building open for
24 hours a day, he said.
Poppell said in order to make this hap-


pen, parts of the building might be parti-
tioned to easily shut them down for the
night and allow custodial staff to clean up.
Student Body Presi-
UF dent Jordan Johnson said
Academics other schools, like the
University of Georgia, al-
ready have popular study centers.
Johnson said he is in favor of the project,
and in the meantime, he would like to see


the Hub extend its hours so students can
study late.
He said if the Student Senate is will-
ing to approve about $25,000 in funding,
the Hub will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 a.m.
every day for the rest of the semester, add-
ing Starbucks has agreed to keep the same
hours as well.
If students like the idea, the new hours
might continue in the spring, he said.

UF swept in top-five showdown


By ADAM BERRY
Alligator Staff Writer
aberry@alllgatororg

TAMPA The Gators learned the hard way how
wide the gap can be between two of the top teams in
the country.
No. 3 Washington dominated No. 4 Florida 3-0
(25-17, 25-10, 25-19) in the Tampa Twice Tournament
at the Sun Dome on Saturday. The Huskies (8-0) have
not dropped a set all season and were nearly flawless
against the outmatched Gators (6-1).
"It's clear that Washington is at a different level
than us right now in the middle of September," UF
coach Mary Wise said. "What makes them so good
- besides how talented they are is that they make
very few mistakes. You can look at their numbers
all season, and their numbers today reflect that as
well."
Seemingly everything the Gators hit was dug up
by the Huskies particularly libero Tamari Mi-
yashiro, who had a match-high 20 digs.
Washington's hitters, meanwhile, had their way
at the net, racking up 44 kills with a .359 hitting per-
centage. Florida recorded just 29 kills on .067 hit-
ting.
Up 24-14 in the first set, Washington made its first
attack error of the match. Florida had already com-
mitted seven at that point.
The Huskies' ability to avoid mistakes and cover
the entire floor frustrated the Gators all night, and
UF couldn't create enough of its own points to over-
come Washington's dominant defense and practi-
cally perfect hitting.
"We knew that to beat them, they'd have to help
us, and Washington didn't seem very accommodat-
ing on that front," Wise said.
Although the Gators fought back in the first and
third sets, slowing the Huskies' offensive efficiency
while putting a few points of their own on the board,
the team's defense just couldn't keep up with the
barrage of attacks coming its way.
"They didn't really give us anything," senior
libero Elyse Cusack said. "They didn't give us any
room to get back in it, but that's what great teams do.
That's what we're trying to be."


Florida was once again outblocked, seven to four,
despite working on that part of the game all week
in practice. Washington also outdug UF 48-47. Wise
noted both numbers, adding that her team will have
to dig far better in the future unless the blocking
makes the necessary strides.
Senior middle blocker Kristina Johnson offered a
simpler solution when asked what UF can work on
after this weekend.
"Everything. There's room for improvement ev-
erywhere," Johnson said. "We're not perfect, and
we're striving to be a great team."
The Gators were much more impressive Friday
night in the Sun Dome against USF (5-2) in front of
the Bulls' hostile home crowd, winning 3-1 (25-13,
18-25, 25-23, 25-10) behind excellent play by Colleen
Ward and Kristy Jaeckel.
The two sophomore outside hit-
ters combined for 29 kills and 21
digs in the Gators' first match of the
Volleyball tournament. Jaeckel was especially
impressive, finishing second on the
team in kills and recording a .407 hit-
ting percentage.
Despite a mediocre showing against Washington,
Jaeckel was named to the All-Tournament Team.
Wise was pleased with Jaeckel's performance and
the maturity her team displayed by bouncing back
and pulling out a close third set after losing the mo-
mentum during the second set.
In addition to being UF's first loss of the season,
Saturday also marked the end of the team's difficult
early nonconference schedule.
Having already faced three ranked opponents,
the Gators won't play a team nearly as talented as
Washington until the postseason. Aside from Flor-
ida, only one Southeastern Conference team No.
17 Kentucky is ranked.
Though the Gators added a loss to their record,
Wise said the rest of the season will reflect whether
or not the Gators made the right decision in opening
the season against tough competition.
"Look around the country and see how few great
matchups on paper there are. I think we could've
easily done that," Wise said. "If we learned from
this, then it will have been worth it."

Kiffin's controversial comments breathe life into once-great rivalry


Hope none of my colleagues
waste any ink writing the
obligatory "The real season
starts now" column this week or
a "Now it's time for Lane Kiffin
to back up his comments" piece.
It doesn't and he can't.
The truth is, Tennessee isn't
very good, and Florida is going
to beat them by as many points
as Urban Meyer deems to be an
appropriate punishment for Kif-
fin's transgressions.
Kiffin first ruffled feathers in


Gainesville the day he accepted
the UT job.
In his first press conference as
a Volunteer, Kiffin said he looked
to singing Rocky Top after a Ten-
nessee victory against Florida.
Then there was the whole
Nu'Keese Richardson debacle.
Kiffin told fans the day after
National Signing Day that Meyer
violated NCAA rules by calling
Richardson, now a Volunteer,
while he was on an official visit
to UT. Meyer didn't.

But re-
ally, I don't
understand
all the Kiffin
hate from
fans. It's like
picking on
your little
brother who
you know
can't fight


I am glad the rivalry of my
childhood finally matters again,


though.
Florida-Tennessee used to
be the game of the season in the
Southeastern Conference. It used
to mean something.
There was a time when I could
almost mark the milestones of my
life by UF-UT controversies.
Before the 1991 game, former
Tennessee assistant coach Jack
Sells, who had been fired before
that season for his role in recruit-
ing violations, faxed then-Florida
defensive coordinator Ron Zook


a copy of the Volunteers' play-
book. Both Zook and coach Steve
Spurrier denied it, but a Kinko's
employee in Knoxville produced
a fax cover sheet showing a trans-
mission from Sells to a copy cen-
ter at UF. The Gators won 35-18
and the Soviet Union fell some
three months later.

when the Gators trailed Peyton
Manning and the Volunteers 30-

That's more like the Tebow everyone has come to know and love -stiff-
arming defensive linemen and running over safeties. Along the way,
Tebow managed to pass for four TDs in a game for only the second time
in his career (Kentucky, 2007).
15-24 PASSING, 237 YDS, 4 TDs, 13 RUSH, 71 YDS, 1 TD

When Thompson dropped a pass on UF's first drive, fans must have
flashed back to his dropped would-be TD pass against Charleston South-
ern. Luckily, DT regained form and found the end zone twice, including
a 33-yard connection with Tebow.
2 REC, 39 YDS, 2 TDs

Rainey didn't get a carry until midway through the second quarter, but
that didn'tstop him from having monster game. Perhaps most impres- -
sive was his ability to grind out yards late as the Gators kept the clock
running.

DIFER, from page 14
14 at halftime but scored 48 straight points in
the second half and won 62-37.
When Tennessee was invited to the 1997 Cit-
rus Bowl, Steve Spurrier famously joked, "You
can't spell Citrus without UT."
When the Gators played in the same game
the next year, Volunteers fans hired a plane
to fly over the stadium with a sign that said,
"Tennessee welcomes Florida to the 1998 Citrus
Bowl." I was sitting in the stands.
In 2000, with 14 seconds to go in the game
and UF at the Tennessee 3-yard line, a con-
troversial Jesse Palmer pass to Jabar Gaffney
was ruled a completion and put the Gators up
by three. Gaffney then taunted the Tennessee
crowd with a throat slash and UF won 27-23.
The Gaffney-inspired throat slash became
the Catholic Youth League taunt of choice for
the rest of the season.
In 2004, the year Facebook was created, Dal-
las Baker's head slap of Jonathan Wade cost UF
15 yards of field position that eventually set up
a game-winning 50-yard field goal for Tennes-
see.
I can only imagine that some of the first sta-
tus updates made here at UF involved Baker's
name and a string of expletives.
"Look at the '90s and do your homework on
this thing. Usually the winner of this game was
the team to go to Atlanta," Meyer said. "Obvi-
ously, Georgia really has a say-so in that now.
But the timing of the game and the history of the
game has made this rivalry very significant."
There might not be much drama on the field
this time around, but here's to hoping that Sat-
urday gives us one more thing to talk about
next year.

Tebow ties Williams on TD list


UF starts homestand 2-0


Quick pace aids attack


By TYLER JETT
Alligator Writer
tjett@alligator org

No. 14 Florida dropped
No. 20 Colorado 3-1 Sunday
in a game more lopsided
than the score indicates.
UF (5-2-0), who defeated
Duke 2-1 on Friday night,
played with conviction from
the kickoff, putting Colorado
(4-3-0 )on its heels with con-
stant pressure.
"When we push the pace,
we're generally a better
team," coach Becky Burleigh
said.
UF's first scoring oppor-
tunity came in the 11th min-
ute when Angela Napolitano
turned on CU defender Kelly
Ross from the left wing.
But instead of shooting,
Napolitano dribbled forward
and tried to set up Lind-
say Thompson for an easier
shot, only to have Thompson
whistled offside.
This surely was trouble-
some for midfielder Tahnai


Annis, who suggested last
week that Florida had been
too hesitant to take shots.
However, UF continued
to control the tempo, and
constant pressure led to a
goal in the 41st minute.
Holly King took a throw-in
from Jazmyne
SAvant near the
right touchline
and ripped the
Soccer ball into the
upper-left cor-
ner of the net to give Florida
a 1-0 lead.
Any confidence the Buffa-
loes had quickly subsided by
the beginning of the second
half.
On a counterattack in the
48th minute, Erika Tymrak
passed to Brooke Thigpen,
who was streaking near
the left touchline. Thigpen
crossed the ball back to Tym-
rak at the top of the penalty
box, and Tymrak put the ball
right on CU goalkeeper Kara
Linder.


Linder appeared to record
the save but then bobbled the
ball and watched helplessly
as it snuck into the back of
the net.
"That's the second time
we've (scored on a mishan-
dled ball) this season. ..It's
a tribute to our team putting
so much pressure on (the
goalie)," goalkeeper Katie
Fraine said.
A wet ball no doubt con-
tributed to Linder's miscue,
as rain drenched the field in
the first half, and CU's dis-
appointment was palpable
when players hung their
heads.
That could be why Colo-
rado gift-wrapped an easy
opportunity for Thompson
in the 54th minute, when
a Buffaloes player mishit a
header, bouncing the ball
into Colorado territory.
Thompson tracked the
ball down and dribbled un-
marked inside the penalty
box before beating Linder to
the goalkeeper's right from
15 yards out.


FOOTBALL, from page 1
"I'm really looking forward to
embracing some of the great tradi-
tions at the University of Tennes-
see," Kiffin said at a press confer-
ence. "For instance, the Vol Walk,
running through the T, singing
Rocky Top all night long after we
beat Florida next year. It's going to
be a blast so get ready."
If Kiffin has watched any of the
Troy game tape since losing 19-15
to UCLA at home, he knows mak-
ing good on that guarantee will be
no easy task.
The Gators held the Trojans to
139 yards of total offense while
amassing 663 yards of their own -
the second highest total in Meyer's
five years in Gainesville.
Janoris Jenkins, back from sus-
pension, picked off Troy quarter-
back Levi Brown in the second quar-
ter, giving the Gators 14 straight
games with an interception, the
longest streak in the nation.
Meyer and defensive coordina-
tor Charlie Strong figured out a
way to get all three of their safeties
- and arguably their fastest possi-
ble unit on the field with a blitz-
heavy 3-3-5 defense that wreaked
havoc Saturday.
Sophomore running backs Jeff
Demps and Chris Rainey combined
for 172 rushing yards, Riley Coo-
per and Aaron Hernandez proved
to be reliable receiving targets
and Tebow passed for four touch-


downs for the second time in his
career while tying former Auburn
running back Cadillac Williams for
third on the Southeastern Confer-
ence's all-time rushing touchdown
list with his 45th career score.
For the Volunteers to come into
The Swamp and prevent the Gators
from winning a program-best 13th
straight game, Kiffin's squad will
have to be perfect and force Flori-
da into uncharacteristic mistakes,
like the three fumbles lost against
Troy.
"You'll lose
next week if you
turn that ball
over three times,"
Meyer said after
the game.
Perhaps Ten-
Meyer nessee's best
chance at a win
would have been coming into
Gainesville under the radar and
sneaking out with an unexpected
win the way Auburn and Ole Miss
did the last two seasons.
Unfortunately, Kiffin's brash
offseason comments and bravado
have taken that opportunity away
from the Volunteers, who will un-
doubtedly clash with a highly mo-
tivated Gators team come 3:30 p.m.
Saturday.
"They're posting up all kinds of
Tennessee stuff in the locker room,"
linebacker A.J. Jones said, "so we're
just really motivated to go play
them."

You Decide. cy -0 MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2009 TROY 6 ig 4P UF 56 Gators trounce Trojans; date with Vols looms KIFFIN'S COMMENTS ARE POSTED IN THE LOCKER ROOM. By KYLE MAISTRI Alligator Staff Writer kmaistri@alligator org After Saturday's 56-6 romping of Troy, it took Florida no time at all to publicly turn its attention to Tennessee. Privately, the Gators have been eyeing Saturday's showdown with the Volunteers and new head coach Lane Kiffin, who made waves with a variety of offseason comments about Florida, since the team reported for fall practice. Offensive lineman James Wilson, who committed to play for Kiffin when he was an assistant coach at USC, said there has been a calendar in the weight room counting down the days until Tennessee comes to town. "It's all over our locker room, that's something you don't forget," Wilson said. "It's going to be a show." The Volunteers mark the first conference test for the Gators, who did exactly what was expected of them in their two warmup games. UF dominated on defense, looked explosive on offense and made a few big special teams plays, all while getting the backups plenty of work as the starters came off the field by the third quarter. The final whistle at the end of the Troy game marked nothing more than the start of the third week of the season and the usual matchup with the Volunteers. "I would be lying if I said there's not a little something different whenever we play Tennessee or one of the rivals, and I think that's a great thing about it," UF quarterback Tim Tebow said. "That's the great thing about it and about SEC play, it's a little different." It may feel a little different for Tebow and his teammates, but UF has made Tennessee look like just another team the last two years. When the Volunteers last came to The Swamp in 2007, the Gators put 59 points on the board on their way to a 39-point win, and a year ago, Tebow and company leaned on the defense in a 30-6 victory in Knoxville. Tennessee has made a coaching change since then, replacing longtime coach Phillip Fulmer with Kiffin, who wasted no time reviving the rivalry upon his arrival.

Machen slashes $16M By THOMAS STEWART Alligator Writer tstewart@alligator org UF will try to avoid more cuts to academic programs when it cuts the remaining $16.6 million from its budget, UF President Bernie Machen said Friday. Machen told the Board of Trustees the remaining cuts will come from administralive programs, such as sick leave payouts. Outlining his plan, Machen told trustees that UF could save between $2 million and $4 million if it eliminated sick leave 0 Sophomore outside hitter Kristy Jaeckel (right) was named to the AllTournament Team, but No. 4 Florida was swept by No. 3 Washington on Saturday.

In another proposal, UF would start paying faculty U F a fixed summer Administration rate. Under this, some senior faculty would get a pay cut, according to UF's Web site. All told, UF's current plans could cut up to $8.5 million. The rest of the cuts are still in the air, Machen said. UF ACADEMICS UF plans new study center BY THOMAS STEWART Alligator Staff Writer tstewart@a Iigator org UF is planning a new study center to give students some extra reading room. Though the university still has to cut $16.6 million from its budget this year, it plans to use $12 million in stimulus funds to build a 24-hour study center on campus. "This is a project that is badly in need," UF President Bernie Machen told the Board of Trustees Friday. "If you come by the library at 5 o'clock, you can see that it's packed," he said. "People are using the library for "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" To watch police footage from the Garg groping investigation and read an update on his Wednesday release from jail, visit www.allIigator.org. studying. They're not there for the books." Because stimulus funds can't be used on new construction projects, an existing building on campus must be modified into the study center. Officials declined to say where the new study center will be located, but Ed Poppell, UF's vice president for Machen business affairs, said it will be on the north side of campus and close to food venues.

4, ALLIGATOR U MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2009 Reading center gets 50 percent budget cut TUTORING CENTER SEES REDUCED STAFF, HOURS. By OLGA VELEZ Alligator Contributing Writer Students seeking help with commas and colons may run into trouble due to budget cuts at the Reading and Writing Center. "We have seen a 50 percent budget cut," said Martin Simpson, the director of the center, which is located on the Broward Hall's mezzanine level. Simpson said one of the biggest effects of the cuts, which were made in July, is the center's hours. The center used to be open to students from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Now it is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday. The center has also reduced its staff by almost half, Simpson said.

AV1 and now we are down to about seven," he said. "Of those 13, there were only two layoffs. The rest were people who had graduated." Shorter hours and fewer employees have affected the center's services. Tutor Ariel Gunn said the number of walk-ins the center can accomodate has decreased. "Before, probably maybe half or more of our busiU F ness was walk-ins, Academics andnowweareable to see maybe one or two walk-ins a day," Gunn said. It is also becoming more difficult for students to make an appointment. "We book several days in advance so that it is becoming harder and harder for them to make appointments and come in," said Tutor Lauren Glenn. "We are at the beginning of the semester right now, and it is already busy. I am guessing that we are going to have to turn people away at an unbelievable rate," she said. Dogs, owners run for cause By MARIA PIQUET with their English springer spaniel dogs, Alligator Contributing Writer and Deuce. Runners of two species crowded the starting line at Saturday's Dog Days Run at Westside Park, waiting for the race to begin. UF's College of Veterinary Medicine and the Florida Track Club hosted the 28th annual run. The event included a 5K run for people, a 1-mile Fun Run for dogs and their owners, a raffle and awards ceremony. "It brings out a lot of people in the community and connects them with the vet school," said Annie Martin, the event coordinator and a second-year student at UF's veterinary school. Leslie Lear and Rob Barnes attended the event for their third year to support the vet school and have fun with their dogs. "We like doing this because it's for a good cause," Lear said. "The vet school takes care of our dogs. They've really helped us when they've gotten in trouble."

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2009 U ALLIGATOR, 5 LOCAL Volunteers feed 120 homeless in honor of Ramadan 0 ABOUT 70 VOLUNTEERS SERVED FOOD DOWNTOWN. By NICOLE LA HOZ Alligator Contributing Writer On Friday, about 120 of Gainesville's homeless gathered around the Bo Diddley Community Plaza's picnic area to eat Indian food. In honor of Ramadan, the Muslim Association of North Central Florida (MANCF) got together with Project Downtown, a group of volunteers who serve food to the homeless every Saturday afternoon. UF graduate student Ziad Ghanimi said in a press release that during Ramadan, Muslims abstain from food or drinks from sunrise to sunset to experience what the less fortunate face every day. Ghanimi, MANCF spokesman and Project Downtown board member, said about 70 volunteers came to help out. Ghanimi said each week volunteers cook anything from Moroccan to Pakistani to American dishes to hand out to the local homeless population. Shands at UF pediatric ophthalmologist Nausheen Khuddus, who brought food to the community plaza and volunteers regularly, said giving back is part of her religion. "It makes you feel spiritual and makes you realize so much Danica Spears/ AlligatorI UF students Hasan Rasheed, center, and Reem Al-Nahhas serve dinner to the homeless in Gainesville's Bo Diddley Community Plaza on Friday. more needs to be done," Khudus said.

6, ALLIGATOR U MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2009 Editorial Corporate Cost Court should keep limits on campaign ads he Supreme Court is debating whether to overthrow campaign finance laws that prohibit corporations from spending unlimited amounts of money on political advertisements and endorsements right before an election. The issue originally came to the court when it was asked to decide whether "Hillary: The Movie," produced by a nonprofit corporation, fell into the category of "electioneering communication." In the rehearing, the Supreme Court evoked the broader issue of First Amendment rights. By definition, a corporation is a legally separate entity from those who own or operate it. Limiting the political output of a corporation, then, does not infringe on First Amendment rights to free speech for any individual. If the Supreme Court overturns laws like the McCainFeingold Act, it will be similar to letting those with the most money scream the loudest (and last) and have the most pervasive influence on American politics. The Roberts court needs to recognize that a corporation is not an individual. It also needs to recognize that many investors in corporations are foreign individuals or entities. The money funneled by corporations into political action committees is enough. Not to mention that any country that gives a mega-corporation the leverage to potentially destroy any non-allied political candidate is basically the opposite of a democracy. Swift Rebuke While we didn't know that anyone still watched the MTV Video Music Awards (the last time we remember watching it, it involved strawberry yogurt with rainbow sprinkles and the privilege of staying up late), it came to our attention that a certain atrocity occurred on last night's show. After checking Facebook at work, we had some vague indication (or about 700 notifications) that Kanye West acted like Kanye West, and apparently, his actions resulted in outrage. Being responsible journalists, we quickly flocked to PerezHilton.com to see footage of the outburst. Swift's video is an atrocity. It follows a mute girl who is in love with her next door neighbor and can only communicate with him through handwritten signs. She eventually wins the heart of the quarterback. Predictable much? Kanye West decided it was permissible to jump on stage and declare Beyonc6 the "real" winner of the Best Female Music Video award Beyonc6 's video is undoubtedly superior, but we would like to denounce Kanye West for both hurting that poor girl's feelings and wasting our valuable time at work. We can only imagine Swift's internal reaction, but we thinkher tender, 19-yearold heart was likely impaled on that moonman's flag. Kanye West's actions are unacceptable, even if they were on a low-rate award show for a dead medium. His constant search for validation and attention reached a new low when he decided to showcase his egoism at the expense of a girl on the cusp of achieving her dreams. 0l the independent florida alligator Kristin Bjornsern sAie Conti EDITOR OPINIONS EDITOR Brian Kelley Jennifer Jenkins MANAGING EDITORS 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 1105 W University Aye or send them to P0 Box 14257, GainesviIle, FL 32604-2257Columns of about 450 words about original topics and editorial cartoons are also welcome Questions?

Buckley to rise up from the grave. As the erudite founder of the National Review and host of the television political debate show "Firing Line," Buckley gave conservatism a great name and message with his more than 30 books on the subject. When the avid sailor, who hailed from Connecticut and attended Yale, died more than a year ago, so did the last chance of ever intellectualizing politics again. Buckley, one of the founders of the modern conservative movement that ushered Ronald Reagan into office, was the very definition of the elitism so many conservatives today are taught to disdain. He was a New England sailor educated in the best private schools. A man who drove an Austin Healey instead of a Dodge Ram, and the only Irish Catholic who could manage to make Gore Vidal sound like an undereducated simpleton, instead of the snob he resembles. But Buckley wasn't an elitist for those reasons; he was an elitist because he was always the smartest man in the room. And because of this certitude -this, as some would call, arrogance -Buckley would have never howled "You Lie!" at the president of the United States during a joint session of Congress, as Congressman Joe Wilson, R-S.C., did Wednesday night. Buckley simply would have scoffed quietly, and then eloquently made his point after the president had finished his address. Besides the single time he ran for mayor of New York City in the 1960s as a way to steal votes away from another Republican candidate whose conservative credentials Buckley doubted, Buckley himself was too smart to have ever run for public office. He knew that the mass public wouldn't have been as impressed as his fellow Yale debate teammates were by his expansive vocabulary and penchant for reasoned postulation. Buckley knew who the voters wanted.

"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter," Winston Churchill once humorously said. When thousands marched on Washington Saturday holding posters of President Barack Obama and Speaker Nancy Pelosi with Adolf Hitler mustaches doodled on, some are probably wondering if Churchill was onto something. Sure, Buckley didn't have all the answers, and he certainly wasn't always right. But he elevated the national discourse. Where are his followers? Where are the Republicans who understand that a topic with the life and death implications of health care reform can't be discussed between people who don't know the first difference between fascism and socialism? Where are the Republicans who don't disdain intellectual excellence, but disdain people who think the word "elite" is a bad attribute for a politician, but not a Navy SEAL? Where are the Republicans who are passionate about their viewpoints, but not crazed? When will this silent majority of the GOP rise up against the latest asinine coalition of tea bag protesters unwilling to debate specifics, but clinging to vague rumors and hazy ideologies?

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2009 U ALLIGATOR, 7 Letters to the Editor Bright Futures should be solely needor merit-based Students should lose scholarship opportunities if their parents are successful. Sure, some of those students deserve the money, but there are so many more who need it. Everyone knows need trumps ability. So what if the brightest among us choose to continue their education past an undergraduate degree? The debt that they incurred during their first four years should be embraced as a social necessity to support their less gifted brothers. Those who are less gifted should be entitled to the same opportunities as the cream of the crop, without thinking of any return on investment. Everyone knows it is righteous to provide for the unearned. Florida Bright Futures must either become solely need-based or ability-based. There is no middle ground for it to survive upon. If you believe that a family with an income of $100,000 can support children through just the first four years of a college education without taking on any major debt, I suggest you try to find such a household. Shall we turn another s into a competition of who least, or into a competition achieve the most?

Need is covered by government aid, grants and loans. If people want scholarships, then they need to earn them, whether they need them or not. Bright Futures recipients who academically deserved Bright Futures have a right to be upset. They earned that money. The students who need more should really make an effort to work harder during high school so that they are awarded scholarships not only because they need them, but because they deserve them. A student with a 4.0 GPA and a 1400 SAT score whose parents make $100,000 a year should receive a scholarship over a student with a 3.0 and a 1000 SAT whose parents make $30,000. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair to the student who worked his or her ass off. By the way Kyle, how do you expect anyone to take your column seriously when you begin it telling us to "quit bitching"? Seriously. Sarah Maloney 2NR U. M tate program Removing Bright Futures puts can claim the strain on students' budgets of who can Kyle Robisch, have you ever heard of nost I do not a personal budget? I'm a UF junior who A. relies on Florida Bright Futures, and I'm parents' ecograppling with the concept of money manelp their own agement. I'll be the first to admit, it's not as easy Daniel Ryczek as the math would seem -but part of that 2LS is due to the cuts in Bright Futures. When my parents sat me down to talk finances before my freshman year, we worked out a rough budget and agreed on how to split expenses. I'll admit that I am skating by without w Bright Fupaying rent, utilities, insurance or my cell y on "need," phone bill -that's what we agreed.

You can argue that I didn't rightly deased on merit serve my award -although I graduated in the top 2 percent of my class -and you can argue that students should have to pay for classes that they drop. But my point is that students who have relied on Bright Futures for the last few years are being affected by the cuts, and their collective fiscal plans have been derailed. An annual difference of $1,000 may not seem like a lot, but for a student living (out of pocket) on $3,000 a year, it's a huge blow. So before you tell everyone to stop whining, consider that we don't all pay dues to Greek organizations, frequent Starbucks or hit the bars nightly. Instead of advocating cutting a program that helps educate millions, consider how it helps many avoid debt while still fulfilling their dreams and teaching money management skills that transcend calling Daddy for more dollars. The more appropriate resolution for the program is to raise standards for all levels of the award, so that only those who really work for it will benefit. Danielle Hipps 3JM U .. Need-based system not an answer to Bright Futures While I wholeheartedly agree that the "woe is me" attitude in response to the Bright Futures cutback is ridiculous and just straight-up annoying, a need-based system is not the answer. Sure, lots of students of wealthy families are receiving aid through Bright Futures instead of their parents paying their tuition, but just because a family's income is $100,000 does not mean the student ever sees any of that. My parents make close to that, and yet I'm working two jobs to pay my own rent because I've been financially independent since the age of sixteen. I don't qualify for any type of needbased aid because my parents make enough money to pay my tuition. Too bad they're not the ones paying it. Financial need is not always the best way to determine who deserves a scholarship. Bright Futures is a merit-based scholarship. It was created to reward students for their academic achievements. It is a prize, a privilege, not a right. Students are supposed to earn this scholarship, not have it handed to them. I think the program should maintain its goal of keeping the brightest students in Florida by increasing the standards for the scholarship. Let's face it: A 970 on the SAT and a weighted 3.0 are not that hard to come by. Are those students really the brightest? Up the ante and reward fewer students (the brightest ones who have actually earned it) to keep the program meritbased, not need-based. Kathy Miles 4LS Protest would drive down food costs on campus Students are to blame for the high food prices on campus. Yep, that's right. I blame you guys, every last one of you who eats on campus. I know it takes five minutes in the morning to throw two slices of bread together with some meat and cheese, but that five minutes will save you 20 in the Subway line. I bring my lunch every day I can. When they were open, I was a faithful Wendy's dollar burger patron when I couldn't bring lunch. Now that that's gone, I usually starve until I make my way to an off-campus food joint with friends, or I just go home. My father told me a story about when they raised the price on soda machines from 50 cents to 75 cents in Kentucky. He got the students together for a good oldfashioned boycott. Within a month, those sodas were back down to 50 cents and stayed that price for more than a year. I've been in silent protest of the food in the Reitz Union for about a year, but no more silence. Stop paying for it and the price will come down. Better yet, let's just boycott for free refills. I'd pay $20 for a cup I could refill all semester, because my friends are probably paying $40 to drink soda. Add it up for every day you want a soda -you're usually spending close to $3. If you drink only 10 days out of the whole semester, you're already at $30. Of course, if Aramark didn't own the university's stomach we could get a McDonald's and there would be some real competition. Compare with the 460 calories McDonald's sells for a buck, along with free refills. Now that would be a real accomplishment. Derek Matteson 4EG onoru or tasnr uonate nasma! inousanus ao.

8, ALLIGATOR U MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2009 Demonstrators gather to protest Islam on Sept. 11 0 ABOUT 30 PEOPLE ATTENDED. ByCJ PRUNER Alligator Writer Henrik Boecken is too young to remember Sept. 11, but he wants everyone to know what happened the day that brought America's heartbeat to a jolting halt. Boecken, 11, along with 30 other members of the Dove World Outreach Center church, took to the streets to commemorate Sept. 11 Friday. Wearing their now-famous "Islam is of the Devil" shirts, the group lined up along Newberry Road near the Oaks Mall to voice their position -that Islam is not a religion of peace but of violence and aggression. "Every church should be spreading this message, but they're too scared to speak out," said Terry Jones, the church's pastor. "This is a Christian nation. It needs to stay a Christian nation." Jones called Islam a violent and dangerous religion, citing Sept. 11 as evidence. The protest participants ranged from children whose American flags dwarfed their bodies to adults. They waved giant signs proclaiming, "No to Sharia [Islamic religious] Law," "2,993 Murdered" and "Jesus is Not a Liberal." Many belted out patriotic songs and religious hymns in cadence to the sounds of guitars, tambourines and honking horns. Jones, whose wife, Sylvia, helped plan and organize the rally, said their message is one of love, not hate. "We don't yell, scream or cuss. We're not bad people," he said. "We don't hate Muslims. Jesus loves Muslims. It's their religion that we have a problem with." Boecken said to remain silent on the issue is unacceptable. "I don't like to stand back and do nothing," said Boecken, who came to the rally with his family. "When I grow up, I don't want to wear scarves and be forced to believe in something that I don't believe." For the Boecken family, the issue of whether the church's message oversteps the boundaries of political correctness hit home. Martin and Andy Boecken, 15 and 17, were suspended for three days from Eastside High School for wearing the antiIslam T-shirts. "You have kids wearing clothes with skulls and naked girls, and the teachers don't say anything. Meanwhile, we wear a shirt that just has the initials I.I.O.T.D., and we get sent home for three days; I just don't get it," Andy Boecken said. The reaction frompassing drivers ranged from supportive to furious as Juliana Jimenez / Alligator Staft Martin Boecken, 15, left, a sophomore at Eastside High School, holds an American flag as part of a protest against Islam on the anniversary of Sept. 11 in front of the Oaks Mall on Friday afternoon. church members were given thumbs but said that many people, although ness.

"We're here to express Jones admitted the church's meschurch's mission. the opinion of the Bible and Jesus sage may be seen as controversial "We're not in the political busiChrist." Construction on the 24-hour study center will begin in the next fiscal year STU DY, from page 1 ulus money this year and about the same in the next fiscal year. Construction will start sometime in the next fiscal year, which begins July 2010. The center will likely encompass 30,000 to 35,000 square feet, he said, and might be able to fit between 600 and 800 students. Poppell said the costs will be high because of the restrictions on the project. "Renovation costs more than building a new building," he said. And there's a good chance the building will be listed in the National Register of Historic Places, he said, which means the renovation must keep the original look. The plan is to keep the building open for 24 hours a day, he said. Poppell said in order to make this happen, parts of the building might be partitioned to easily shut them down for the night and allow custodial staff to clean up. Student Body PresiU F dent Jordan Johnson said Academics other schools, like the University of Georgia, already have popular study centers. Johnson said he is in favor of the project, and in the meantime, he would like to see the Hub extend its hours so students can study late. He said if the Student Senate is willing to approve about $25,000 in funding, the Hub will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 a.m. every day for the rest of the semester, adding Starbucks has agreed to keep the same hours as well. If students like the idea, the new hours might continue in the spring, he said.

S sorts UF swept in top-five showdown By ADAM BERRY Alligator Staff Writer a berry@alligator org TAMPA -The Gators learned the hard way how wide the gap can be between two of the top teams in the country. No. 3 Washington dominated No. 4 Florida 3-0 (25-17, 25-10, 25-19) in the Tampa Twice Tournament at the Sun Dome on Saturday. The Huskies (8-0) have not dropped a set all season and were nearly flawless against the outmatched Gators (6-1). "It's clear that Washington is at a different level than us right now in the middle of September," UF coach Mary Wise said. "What makes them so good -besides how talented they are -is that they make very few mistakes. You can look at their numbers all season, and their numbers today reflect that as well." Seemingly everything the Gators hit was dug up by the Huskies -particularly libero Tamari Miyashiro, who had a match-high 20 digs. Washington's hitters, meanwhile, had their way at the net, racking up 44 kills with a .359 hitting percentage. Florida recorded just 29 kills on .067 hitting. Up 24-14 in the first set, Washington made its first attack error of the match. Florida had already committed seven at that point. The Huskies' ability to avoid mistakes and cover the entire floor frustrated the Gators all night, and UF couldn't create enough of its own points to overcome Washington's dominant defense and practically perfect hitting. "We knew that to beat them, they'd have to help us, and Washington didn't seem very accommodating on that front," Wise said. Although the Gators fought back in the first and third sets, slowing the Huskies' offensive efficiency while putting a few points of their own on the board, the team's defense just couldn't keep up with the barrage of attacks coming its way. "They didn't really give us anything," senior libero Elyse Cusack said. "They didn't give us any room to get back in it, but that's what great teams do. That's what we're trying to be." Florida was once again outblocked, seven to four, despite working on that part of the game all week in practice. Washington also outdug UF 48-47. Wise noted both numbers, adding that her team will have to dig far better in the future unless the blocking makes the necessary strides. Senior middle blocker Kristina Johnson offered a simpler solution when asked what UF can work on after this weekend. "Everything. There's room for improvement everywhere," Johnson said. "We're not perfect, and we're striving to be a great team." The Gators were much more impressive Friday night in the Sun Dome against USF (5-2) in front of the Bulls' hostile home crowd, winning 3-1 (25-13, 18-25, 25-23, 25-10) behind excellent play by Colleen Ward and Kristy Jaeckel. The two sophomore outside hitters combined for 29 kills and 21 digs in the Gators' first match of the Volleyball tournament. Jaeckel was especially impressive, finishing second on the team in kills and recording a .407 hitting percentage. Despite a mediocre showing against Washington, Jaeckel was named to the All-Tournament Team. Wise was pleased with Jaeckel's performance and the maturity her team displayed by bouncing back and pulling out a close third set after losing the momentum during the second set. In addition to being UF's first loss of the season, Saturday also marked the end of the team's difficult early nonconference schedule. Having already faced three ranked opponents, the Gators won't play a team nearly as talented as Washington until the postseason. Aside from Florida, only one Southeastern Conference team -No. 17 Kentucky -is ranked. Though the Gators added a loss to their record, Wise said the rest of the season will reflect whether or not the Gators made the right decision in opening the season against tough competition. "Look around the country and see how few great matchups on paper there are. I think we could've easily done that," Wise said. "If we learned from this, then it will have been worth it." UF sophomore outside hitter Kristy Jaeckel was named to the Tampa Twice All-Tournament Team. Kiffin's controversial comments breathe life into once-great rivalry Hope none of my colleagues waste any ink writing the obligatory "The real season starts now" column this week or a "Now it's time for Lane Kiffin to back up his comments" piece. It doesn't and he can't. The truth is, Tennessee isn't very good, and Florida is going to beat them by as many points as Urban Meyer deems to be an appropriate punishment for Kiffin's transgressions. Kiffin first ruffled feathers in Gainesville the day he accepted the UT job. In his first press conference as a Volunteer, Kiffin said he looked to singing Rocky Top after a Tennessee victory against Florida. Then there was the whole Nu'Keese Richardson debacle. Kiffin told fans the day after National Signing Day that Meyer violated NCAA rules by calling Richardson, now a Volunteer, while he was on an official visit to UT. Meyer didn't. Mike DiFerdinando Beg to DiFer mdiferdinando@alligatororg But really, I don't understand all the Kiffin hate from fans. It's like picking on your little brother who you know can't fight back. I am glad the rivalry of my childhood finally matters again, though. Florida-Tennessee used to be the game of the season in the Southeastern Conference. It used to mean something. There was a time when I could almost mark the milestones of my life by UF-UT controversies. Before the 1991 game, former Tennessee assistant coach Jack Sells, who had been fired before that season for his role in recruiting violations, faxed then-Florida defensive coordinator Ron Zook a copy of the Volunteers' playbook. Both Zook and coach Steve Spurrier denied it, but a Kinko's employee in Knoxville produced a fax cover sheet showing a transmission from Sells to a copy center at UF.

When Tennessee was invited to the 1997 Citrus Bowl, Steve Spurrier famously joked, "You can't spell Citrus without UT." When the Gators played in the same game the next year, Volunteers fans hired a plane to fly over the stadium with a sign that said, "Tennessee welcomes Florida to the 1998 Citrus Bowl." I was sitting in the stands. In 2000, with 14 seconds to go in the game and UF at the Tennessee 3-yard line, a controversial Jesse Palmer pass to Jabar Gaffney was ruled a completion and put the Gators up by three. Gaffney then taunted the Tennessee crowd with a throat slash and UF won 27-23. The Gaffney-inspired throat slash became the Catholic Youth League taunt of choice for the rest of the season. In 2004, the year Facebook was created, Dallas Baker's head slap of Jonathan Wade cost UF 15 yards of field position that eventually set up a game-winning 50-yard field goal for Tennessee. I can only imagine that some of the first status updates made here at UF involved Baker's name and a string of expletives. "Look at the '90s and do your homework on this thing. Usually the winner of this game was the team to go to Atlanta," Meyer said. "Obviously, Georgia really has a say-so in that now. But the timing of the game and the history of the game has made this rivalry very significant." There might not be much drama on the field this time around, but here's to hoping that Saturday gives us one more thing to talk about next year.

16, ALLIGATOR U MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2009 UF starts homestand 2-0 Quick pace aids attack By TYLER JETT Alligator Writer tjett@alligator org No. 14 Florida dropped No. 20 Colorado 3-1 Sunday in a game more lopsided than the score indicates. UF (5-2-0), who defeated Duke 2-1 on Friday night, played with conviction from the kickoff, putting Colorado (4-3-0 )on its heels with constant pressure. "When we push the pace, we're generally a better team," coach Becky Burleigh said. UF's first scoring opportunity came in the 11th minute when Angela Napolitano turned on CU defender Kelly Ross from the left wing. But instead of shooting, Napolitano dribbled forward and tried to set up Lindsay Thompson for an easier shot, only to have Thompson whistled offside. This surely was troublesome for midfielder Tahnai Annis, who suggested last week that Florida had been too hesitant to take shots. However, UF continued to control the tempo, and constant pressure led to a goal in the 41st minute. Holly King took a throw-in from Jazmyne Avant near the right touchline and ripped the Soccer ball into the upper-left corner of the net to give Florida a 1-0 lead. Any confidence the Buffaloes had quickly subsided by the beginning of the second half. On a counterattack in the 48th minute, Erika Tymrak passed to Brooke Thigpen, who was streaking near the left touchline. Thigpen crossed the ball back to Tymrak at the top of the penalty box, and Tymrak put the ball right on CU goalkeeper Kara Linder. Linder appeared to record the save but then bobbled the ball and watched helplessly as it snuck into the back of the net. "That's the second time we've (scored on a mishandled ball) this season. It's a tribute to our team putting so much pressure on (the goalie)," goalkeeper Katie Fraine said. A wet ball no doubt contributed to Linder's miscue, as rain drenched the field in the first half, and CU's disappointment was palpable when players hung their heads. That could be why Colorado gift-wrapped an easy opportunity for Thompson in the 54th minute, when a Buffaloes player mishit a header, bouncing the ball into Colorado territory. Thompson tracked the ball down and dribbled unmarked inside the penalty box before beating Linder to the goalkeeper's right from 15 yards out. Tebow ties Williams on TD list FOOTBALL, from page 1 "I'm really looking forward to embracing some of the great traditions at the University of Tennessee," Kiffin said at a press conference. "For instance, the Vol Walk, running through the T, singing Rocky Top all night long after we beat Florida next year. It's going to be a blast so get ready." If Kiffin has watched any of the Troy game tape since losing 19-15 to UCLA at home, he knows making good on that guarantee will be no easy task. The Gators held the Trojans to 139 yards of total offense while amassing 663 yards of their own the second highest total in Meyer's five years in Gainesville. Janoris Jenkins, back from suspension, picked off Troy quarterback Levi Brown in the second quarter, giving the Gators 14 straight games with an interception, the longest streak in the nation. Meyer and defensive coordinator Charlie Strong figured out a way to get all three of their safeties -and arguably their fastest possible unit -on the field with a blitzheavy 3-3-5 defense that wreaked havoc Saturday. Sophomore running backs Jeff Demps and Chris Rainey combined for 172 rushing yards, Riley Cooper and Aaron Hernandez proved to be reliable receiving targets and Tebow passed for four touchdowns for the second time in his career while tying former Auburn running back Cadillac Williams for third on the Southeastern Conference's all-time rushing touchdown list with his 45th career score. For the Volunteers to come into The Swamp and prevent the Gators from winning a program-best 13th straight game, Kiffin's squad will have to be perfect and force Florida into uncharacteristic mistakes, like the three fumbles lost against Troy. "You'll lose next week if you turn that ball overthree times," Meyer said after the game. Perhaps TenMeyer nessee's best chance at a win would have been coming into Gainesville under the radar and sneaking out with an unexpected win the way Auburn and Ole Miss did the last two seasons. Unfortunately, Kiffin's brash offseason comments and bravado have taken that opportunity away from the Volunteers, who will undoubtedly clash with a highly motivated Gators team come 3:30 p.m. Saturday. "They're posting up all kinds of Tennessee stuff in the locker room," linebacker A.J. Jones said, "so we're just really motivated to go play them." THE FLU IS NO FUN. GET A FLU SHOT!
