UF police search for mobile masturbator


Police said a man was seen mas-
turbating in a pickup truck near So-
rority Row twice in the last week.
The latest incident occurred on
Friday at the intersection of South-
west Eighth Avenue and South-
west 13th Street, police said.
A woman on a scooter looked


over into the man's pickup truck,
which was stopped next to her at a
stoplight, and noticed he appeared
to be masturbating inside the vehi-
cle, University Police Department
spokesman Capt. Jeff Holcomb
said.
A few days earlier, a student


walking back to her sorority house
noticed a man in a pickup truck on
Museum Road who
Local appeared to be doing
News the same thing.
The suspect is
described as a white
man, 35 to 40 years old, with short,


brown, wavy hair and brown
eyes.
He was wearing a light colored
shirt and driving an older model
- possibly 1995 to 2000 light
blue Toyota Tacoma pickup truck,
police said.
Police were handing out fliers


around the area on Friday to notify
residents and will be increasing
patrols.
Police are asking anyone with
information about the incidents to
call UPD's Criminal Investigations
Division at 352-392-4705.

UF ADMINISTRATION

Faculty union cries out


against salaries, sick pay


By THOMAS STEWART
Alligator Staff Writer
tstewart@alligator org

The faculty union declared a deadlock Fri-
day in contract negotiations with UF over is-
sues such as salaries and sabbaticals.
Union members argued UF is refusing to
compromise and isn't taking negotiations se-
riously.
They argued that UF's salaries are in the
bottom 10 percent of institutions in the Asso-
ciation of American Universities, a group of
top research schools, and that UF is claiming
it doesn't have the money to raise them, even
though it plans to spend money on other ini-
tiatives, such as $12 million on a study center
for students and $10 million on hiring up to
100 new faculty next year.
"The data shows that the president and the


trustees have the money, they just don't want
to spend it on current faculty," said Chris
Snodgrass, head of the union's bargaining
unit.
UF spokeswoman Janine Sikes declined to
answer questions and said others involved
are not authorized to comment. Sikes released
a statement explaining UF's position.
"We understand that the budget situation
has been difficult, and we still face many chal-
lenges," the statement reads.
"Nevertheless, we have a $16 million recur-
ring budget gap to fill and we need to address
it. Regardless of the union-declared impasse,
we will continue to negotiate with the union
in good faith, and our ultimate goal continues
to be reaching a satisfactory agreement."
But Snodgrass said UF's negotiators aren't
playing fair. They cancel meetings, end them

* THE PLANE CRASHED
SUNDAY AROUND 6 P.M.

The search continued
Monday for the passengers
aboard a plane that crashed
in Broward County Sunday
evening.
The plane is said to have
left Gainesville and was
headed to a Fort Lauderdale
executive airport, according
to the Associated Press.


The single-engine plane
crashed around 6 p.m. near
U.S. 27 just south of the Bro-
ward/Palm Beach County
line, according to Broward
Sheriff Fire Rescue.
Because the
Local crash occurred
News in a remote loca-
tion in the Ever-
glades, the rescue crews had
trouble accessing the site. The
crews worked overnight Sun-
day and continued Monday.
BSFR confirmed one death,
and the continued search in-
cludes Broward Sheriff's Of-


fice homicide detectives, BSO
marine and crime scene units,
the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission,
the Federal Aviation Admin-
istration and the National
Transportation Safety Board.
According to the FAA, an
unconfirmed report showed
that four people were seen
boarding the plane.
The plane is registered to
Bull Gator, Inc., in Sea Ranch
Lakes, according to the Asso-
ciated Press.
The cause of the crash has
not been determined.

for the first time
since '05.
See Story, Page 14.


A cyclist was admitted to Shands at UF
after crashing head-first through the rear
window of a stopped minivan at South-
west 13th Street and West University Av-
enue early Monday afternoon.
UF student Stephen Little, 24, was rid-
ing his brakeless bicycle north on South-
west 13th Street and entered the left turn-
ing lane toward West University Avenue,
according to a Gainesville Police report.
Little was unable to stop his bicycle in


time to keep from hitting a minivan that
was stopped at the intersection, according
to the report.
The impact launched him into the rear
hatch window. His helmet shattered the
glass, and his neck and chin were deeply
cut by the metal window base, according
to the report.
According to the report, Little's injuries
may be life threatening.

Swamp ranks in Playboy
poll for best sports bars
Playboy named The Swamp
Restaurant among one of the best
10 college sports bars in the na-
tion.
"The Swamp is a frequent bar
that draws in die-hard UF football
fans, and that's why it made Play-
boy's list," said Playboy publicist
Abi O'Donnell. "It is a fun atmo-
sphere to hang out and especially
watch a game".
Ohio State University's The
Varsity Club and Oklahoma State
University's Eskimo Joe's joined
The Swamp on the list, which was
released on the Playboy Web site
Sept. 18.
"The Swamp is the most popu-
lar local watering hole," said Ron
DeFilippo, the restaurant's owner,
adding that hundreds of students
and alumni stop by on a weekly
basis and even more come by on
game days.
But football isn't the only en-
tertainment The Swamp offers. It
holds events like holiday parties
and Martini Tuesdays. It's even
had performances by Sister Hazel
and David Archuleta.
"Any award is good in my
business," he said. ESPN and
COED Magazine have also named
The Swamp one of the best college
sports bars in the nation.

Aramark lowers prices in response to complaints


By THOMAS STEWART
Alligator Staff Writer
tstewart@alligator org

Students may now find their money going
a little further at the Reitz Union Polio Tropi-
cal.
After students cried foul over high prices,
Aramark, UF's food service provider, lowered
them to more closely match the prices at other
locations across the state.
The biggest changes were made to the
menu's value meals, with one meal the
quarter-chicken with two sides seeing a
33 percent drop in price from $6.69 to $4.49.
Other value meals are between 50 cents and
$1.70 cheaper.
Meals in the TropiChops section saw price
drops of up to $1.40.
Students have also complained about the
prices at Cheeburger Cheeburger, which re-
placed the cheaper Wendy's chain.
Aramark may add cheaper items to the
menu. Possibilities include a smaller burger
- perhaps a 4-ounce burger in the $4 range -
and smaller milkshakes, said Bob Miller, UF's
associate vice president of business affairs.
Fries and drink combos might also change.
As for Pollo Tropical, Miller said the price
changes were made to reflect the prices at The
Florida State University's on-campus location,
but Aramark spokeswoman Jill Rodriguez
wrote in an e-mail that the changes were made
to bring the location in line with other corpo-
rately managed locations in the state.
Menus requested from other Florida loca-



Polio Tropical

with two sides v


tions indicate the prices are similar, though
there are differences. Some regular size meals
in the TropiChops section are still 40 cents
more at the Reitz Union location, while large
size meals are 10 cents cheaper.
Rodriguez wrote that because there are no
other Pollo Tropicals in Gainesville, Aramark
initially set the prices based on prices at simi-
lar restaurants in the area.
Some students weren't deterred by the
higher prices at the Reitz Union, however.
Pollo Tropical posted almost $73,000 in
sales during the first two weeks of fall. By
comparison, Capeesh which was replaced
by Pollo Tropical this summer sold about
$25,000 in the first two weeks of Fall 2008.
Cheeburger Cheeburger did well too, but it
didn't top Wendy's old numbers. It saw about
$75,000 in sales, versus about $92,000 by Wen-
dy's in the first two weeks of Fall 2008.
There are other changes at campus restau-
rants that may help students on a budget. The
Moe's Southwest Grill at the Student Recre-
ation and Fitness Center, for example, is now
offering a line of junior burritos.
Miller said the corporate office decided to
make the change when students complained
about the absence of the cheaper burritos.
The Reitz Union Subway is also offering $5
footlongs for the first time. Aramark put the
cheaper subs on the menu after it took over
operations from the franchisee, who had re-
fused to offer them, Miller said.
On-campus restaurants will still not be
able to offer free drink refills, as is common at
off-campus versions of the chains, though, be-


icken TropiChops

cause of logistical hurdles.
"It's just logistically difficult to have a drink
island for customers but not for people just sit-
ting there studying," Miller said.
Nonetheless, students will likely be happy
with many of the menu changes. Environmen-
tal engineering junior Katie Graf said she's


glad Pollo Tropical dropped its prices. The
first time she ate there she didn't realize how
expensive it was until they rang her up.
"I was kind of put-off," Graf said. "I was
like, 'I'll probably be going to Subway more.'"
"Now," she said, "I'll think about going
here [Pollo Tropical] more."

Number of students studying abroad down in 2009


By LAURA MONTALTO
Alligator Contributing Writer

Despite an increase in applicants for the
class of 2013, the number of students studying
abroad is down this year, according to the UF
International Center.
"The economy definitely is having an effect
on students' decision to go abroad. We're see-
ing that right now," said Kirsten Eller Laufer,
senior adviser at the UFIC. "Students want to
go, but the cost is a huge issue."
Prices range from $8,000 to $15,000 per se-
mester, Laufer said.
While the number of interested students
visiting the UFIC has slightly decreased, the
number of students who are actually able to


go is even lower, she added.
"The recession is a definite factor because
we can't send every student," she said.
But Laufer said UF hasn't seen the same
large decreases that other schools across the
country have seen, and the number of scholar-
ships available through the UFIC hasn't been
affected. The UFIC gives $80,000 every year to
students going abroad for yearlong, summer-
long and semester-long programs.
"It's absolutely worth still going abroad,"
she said. "Today, going abroad sets you
apart."
Laufer offered some alternatives to stu-
dents who want to go abroad but don't want
to break the bank.
"Going during the summer is a great op-


"The economy definitely is having

go abroad."

tion because it's more affordable," she said.
"We have summer programs that go from
three weeks to 12 weeks."
Laufer also recommended going through
a UF exchange program because students pay
UF tuition, which is much more affordable.
At UFIC's Study Abroad Fair, which takes
place Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on


the Reitz Union Colonnade, students can meet
with faculty who teach overseas and find infor-
mation about outside study-abroad programs
and other UF-approved schools like Boston
University and The Florida State University.
Students can also ask peer advisers, students
who have already been abroad, questions.
"Students who want to go should get to the
fair as soon as possible because the brochures
the outside programs bring with them always
run out quickly," said Angela Grindal, UFIC's
event coordinator.
Despite the economy, the UFIC expects a
normal turnout on Wednesday.
"It's a great opportunity to see what's out
there, even if study abroad isn't feasible,"
Laufer said.

University.
Institute co-director Churchill
Roberts said the program had a
good track record of producing
work that brought UF national vis-
ibility.
"It's discouraging whenever
you're in a program that's being


eliminated," said Jon Bougher, a
graduate student in the program.
"It makes you feel
National kind of unneces-
News sary."
Last spring, the
program's alumni set up an online
petition in an attempt to save the in-


stitute, collecting 1,171 signatures,
but failing to rescue it.
The nine students in the gradu-
ate program will now graduate with
Master of Arts degrees. Bougher
said some students might go to
Wake Forest for a year and also re-
ceive a Master of Fine Arts degree,


which is considered a terminal de-
gree, or the highest possible degree
in an academic field.
"I guess I have mixed feelings,"
he said. "I'm happy in the sense
that I don't want it to be at a college
where it doesn't get support."

'Radical Rush' recruiting starts


By RENEE MONTALTO
Alligator Contributing Writer

Rush week is over, but not for the Civic Media
Center.
Wednesday through Friday, the CMC will hold its
biannual "Radical Rush" on the Plaza of the Ameri-
cas from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
CMC coordinator James Schmidt described the
event as a "drive for progressive activist groups on
campus."
Radical Rush targets any student interested in
progressive or radical organizations for social change,
social justice or environmental protection.
Schmidt said the event is open to any student.


"Whether or not one is interested in joining a
group, it's a way to let students know about activi-
ties," Schmidt said. "It's about getting the word out
on what's going on around campus."
The rush process will end with a Friday night so-
cial at the Presbyterian and Disciples of Christ Stu-
dent Center at 7 p.m. A donation of $5 is requested,
but Schmidt said they won't turn anyone away.
Sherry Wolf, a gay rights activist and author, will
be at the student center to talk about the upcoming
National Equality March in Washington, D.C., in
October. She will also be promoting a book she has
recently written about LGBT issues.
The Civic Media Center is located at 433 S Main

that converts unused sick leave to cash when faculty leave
UF. Faculty expressed their concerns about ending the pro-
gram at Thursday's Faculty Senate meeting.
Snodgrass said the other issues that led to Friday's im-
passe include UF's unwillingness to allow faculty to take re-
search sabbaticals.
UF currently allows semester-long sabbaticals and wants
to cut down on them, while the union wants year-long sab-
baticals every seven years, like other universities, he said.
"Some faculty that have been here 20, 30 years and have
never had a sabbatical," he said.
Another issue involves intellectual property. The union
says UF wants to be able to force faculty to produce online
course content and other materials, which will be owned by
UF. The union says faculty shouldn't be forced to produce
content they will not even own the rights to.
Tom Auxter, first vice president of the union, said the
main issue is salary compression. Faculty are hired at mar-
ket rates and then are not given raises over time to keep their
salaries in line with other universities.
"You end up being unable to meet life's expenses and take
care of the development of your career," Auxter said.

Krafty Business

Food industry giants use

labels to fool consumers
Major food corporations are hoping that the aver-
age American will cling to catch phrases rather
than read food nutrition labels.
First, the awesome refrigerator from "The Jetsons" was
"smart." Then, that tiny car next to you on Interstate 75
stopped being ridiculous and became "smart." After that,
Glaceau even managed to make water "smart." Now,
foods like Froot Loops, mayonnaise and Fudgsicle bars are
dubbed "smart," too.
"Smart Choices" was promoted as a universal nutri-
tional ranking system that would make it easy for consum-
ers to identify healthy foods without having to scour over
nutritional facts. However, since it is controlled by major
food industry players, it is closer to a marketing ploy than
a real nutritional system.
Companies behind this new program include PepsiCo,
General Mills and Kraft Foods. Each pays up to $100,000
a year to use the labels, according to a report by Mother-
Jones.com.
Because companies have to pay to use the label, "Smart
Choices" has a huge incentive to apply it to as many prod-
ucts as possible. To meet the "Smart Choices" criteria, a
product only has to be better than the nutritional worst.
For example, Froot Loops can get the "Smart Choices"
logo on the front of its packaging because it is a "smarter"
choice than other breakfast foods, like doughnuts.
Ideally, the United States wouldn't need a universal
nutritional labeling system to solve its obesity problem.
Some people just don't realize that eating a package of
Fruit Gushers doesn't count as eating a serving of fruit,
though.
On-the-go Americans who don't have the time or de-
sire to read nutritional labels deserve a system that's bet-
ter than "Smart Choices."
Labeling foods like Reese's Puffs as nutritional isn't
"smart," it's a deceptive scheme by companies trying to
profit off of ignorance.


Missing the Mark


A t last, UF and
Aramark have re-
sponded to student
outcry over high food pric-
es on campus.
Prices at Reitz Union res-
taurants Pollo Tropical and
Subway now reflect similar
restaurants off campus.
Changes might be in
the works for Cheeburger
Cheeburger, the overpriced
replacement to Wendy's,
according to UF's associate
vice president of business
affairs.
We applaud Aramark
for actually responding to
the concerns of students,
but we have to ask: What


more can UF and Aramark
do to lower food prices?
Noodles are good and
all, but considering they
cost next to nothing to
make, they should never
cost more than $5.
In the meantime, let Ara-
mark know that as students,
you have other options for
lunch.
Save yourself a couple
of bucks and eat Krishna
Lunch on the Plaza of the
Americas. Step across Uni-
versity Avenue and grab
a slice of pizza. Better yet,
throw a Fruit-by-the-Foot
and some cheese sticks in a
bag and call it a day.

Freshmen: It's OK
Question for first-years here at UF: How are you
holding up?
It seems like a relevant question to ask during
week five of the semester. If this is your first year, you've
probably gotten a decent feel for the school and its people
and culture by now.
Plus, the first "actual" football game of the season was
this past weekend, and the first cluster of exams is prob-
ably popping up either this week or next.
Maybe most importantly, this is about the time when
the excited high of living away from home and being at
a new school begins to fade a bit, and people start ask-
ing themselves if this is the place they want to be. And
it's tough possibly tougher at UF than at most other
schools if the answer is anything other than yes.
Consider this: It's not a secret that UF has no short-
age of school spirit. We proudly don Gators apparel and
cheerfully end e-mails, voice mail greetings and occasion-
ally conversations with "Go Gators," and it's not just be-
cause our football team kicks ass. (They do, though.)
It's also out of necessity; ours is a school of about
50,000 students, and the culture of Gatordom affords
us all common ground when, given UF's size, common
ground would otherwise be hard to come by.
It's a bonding experience that's intensely effective, and
it's the reason why UF alumni who don't know each other
can have random conversations but graduates from, say,
the University of Phoenix usually can't. But if it doesn't
take for whatever reason you have no previous con-
nection at all to UF, for instance, or if school spirit isn't
really your thing it can be intensely alienating.
If you're already inclined to feel that way, the prob-
lem is only exacerbated because you're very much sup-
posed to like UF. When you're a freshman, there is in-

to not like college
S deed a correct answer when people
ask how college is going usually,
"Yeah, UF's awesome, love it" or
some variation thereof so that
you don't look too negative or out
of place. And it doesn't help that
Joe Dellosa very well-meaning freshman advis-
letters@alligator org ers and Preview leaders sometimes
treat having reservations and inse-
curities about UF not as a completely natural feeling but
as a disease that needs to be cured ("Get involved! Make
the campus smaller! Meet people in the laundry room!").
Don't get me wrong. There are so many reasons why it
is, in fact, great to be a Florida Gator, and you'd be com-
pletely justified if you've fallen in love with UF and the
people in it. But if you haven't, that's OK, too.
With all the talk of how college is supposed to be the
best years of your life, it's very easy to feel pressure to
make your college experience amazing and even easier
to get disappointed when your attempts fall short. You
might have gotten saddled with a bad stack of classes,
you're not clicking with the people you meet, or you just
really miss your friends back home.
And if it's any comfort, whatever your insecurities,
there are probably a dozen other people on your dorm
floor alone who are, to some degree, feeling the same way
even if they say "Yeah, UF's awesome, love it" when
you ask them how things are going.
Remember, as exciting and exhilarating as college can
be, it can also be boring, frustrating and lonely, and that's
true for everyone. Feel free to factor that in when decid-
ing how you're holding up.

Letters to the Editor
Wall Street Journal should be available
As a McCain supporter and a conserva-
tive, I've always wished there was a more
conservative newspaper voice on campus.
And as a conservative supporter of the
Progress Party, I'm excited to see they are
supporting bringing The Wall Street Jour-
nal to campus alongside The New York
Times. They have proposed cutting waste-
ful spending in other places to achieve this
goal. It's refreshing to see a party that en-
compasses both sides of the spectrum when
making decisions.
Nick Alsaka

Wasted SG money could fund paper
In a year when budget cuts incited out-
rage over the proposed elimination of The
New York Times, isn't it better to cut costs
that don't directly benefit students?
Each year Student Government spends
around $100,000 of students' tuition on
unnecessary internal costs. Money from
cutting this waste can go toward fund-
ing improvements such as expanding free
printing and offering The Wall Street Jour-
nal on campus along with the Times. The
Progress Party campaigned last year for SG


pay cuts from day one by signing a pledge
that they would not receive any monetary
compensation for their executive positions.
They've also targeted specific unnecessary
programs, which can be cut or reduced im-
mediately, and reroute the funds to more
student-oriented initiatives.
Rather than lead with kamikaze legisla-
tion or defending wasteful spending dur-
ing budget cuts, Progress will continue lead
by example and make concrete proposals to
help the students, not themselves.

Scalpers show business sense
In response to the letter in Monday's Al-
ligator that called student ticket scalpers a
disgrace to Gator Nation: What a load of
crap.
The kid that's getting a hundred bucks
for a student ticket isn't a disgrace to any-
one. He or she is a testament to UF's War-
rington College of Business Administra-
tion.
Student season ticket holders are al-
ready hamstrung in that they can only sell
their tickets to people with Gator 1 cards.
If a hundred bucks is market value out in


the more or less free market of nonstudent
ticket prices, then the student who gets that
much for a ticket should be applauded.
We're in a recession. Even before that
was the case, jobs were scarce for student-
aged people in Gainesville (another direct
function of supply and demand in a college
town). The stereotype of the poor college
student is no myth, even at UF.
Buying student season tickets and sell-
ing them for 10 times face value is an easy
way to watch a relatively small investment
yield huge profits.
If you're struggling to make rent and
another student wants to pay you a lot of
money to watch Tim Tebow and Brandon
Spikes hit Lane Kiffin's boys in the mouth,
don't feel like you're a blight upon the
school for accepting the offer.

Community needs classical station
I can't tell you how much I miss classi-
cal music from UF radio. You have cut it,
perhaps, to give students a chance to report
news. But what is the community supposed
to do? Do you have no obligation to us?
It is very, very sad to live without mu-


sic, and you don't care. I've never lived
anywhere without a good classical station.
Until now. This makes Gainesville an im-
poverished community.
Barbara Wickwire
Gainesville resident


SG official right to resign
I was surprised to hear of the story last
week about William Sedgwick, a UF Stu-
dent Government official who was arrested
on a DUI charge and resigned.
Eight years ago, UF had a Student Body
president who was arrested on a DUI
charge, which was an embarrassment to the
student body. But he remained in office.
It is a sign of sensible character that
Sedgwick resigned his public office and
that the SG president accepted it, accepting
responsibility for his lapse in judgment.
Of course, this does not excuse SG and
its long-running majority party for its on-
going lack of transparency or fairness to
UF's "independent" parties but it does
show that there has been a modest ethical
improvement since my time at UF as a stu-
dent senator.

Campus political groups debate health-care reform


The forum was sponsored by Chomp the Vote


By LIZ BEHRMAN
Alligator Contributing Writer

Students listened to fiery arguments sur-
rounding national health-care reform Mon-
day night.
About 60 people sat in the Pugh Hall Au-
ditorium while members of the College Dem-
ocrats and College Republicans answered
questions during the Chomp the Vote Health
Care Forum.
Chomp the Vote Director Jenna Stern said
the purpose of the debate was to inform stu-
dents about the issue of health-care reform.
"They now know the Democrat and Re-
publican platforms, where they stand and


have a better understanding about why the
debate is so heated," she said.
Representing the College Republicans
were Bryan Griffin and Johnathan Lott, while
Eric Conrad and Ben Cavataro represented
the College Democrats.
Each side had one minute to answer each
question, and the opposing team had 30 sec-
onds to make a rebuttal.
The panel discussed points such as the
fiscal responsibility of the proposed reform
strategies, the efficiency of Medicare and
Medicaid versus private insurance and other
ways besides a public health insurance option
that could offer coverage to all Americans.
Although both sides had differing opinions


on the matters, they agreed reform is neces-
sary.
"We're both trying to achieve the same
goal here," Griffin said.
"We're both trying to keep
people alive for as long as
possible."
Throughout the debate,
the College Republicans
argued against a public op-
tion for health care, while
Conrad the College Democrats
were in favor of it.
"This is a chance for people to choose their
care, stay alive longer and have a better qual-
ity of life," Conrad said.


"I think if somebody was undecided,
hopefully they have made up their mind by
the end of the night," said sophomore Jacob
Smith, a member of the College Democrats.
Smith said he thought the debate was a
little redundant at times but was very infor-
mative.
Stem said she was glad the debate brought
the issue to the attention of the students.
"Chomp the Vote really wants to engage
students," she said. "Our job is to register and
educate the campus about what's going on
locally, in the state and in the nation."
Stem said the two groups asked Chomp
the Vote to set up the debate. She said they
might consider hosting similar events in the
future. For now, she said, this was just a fo-
rum for students to argue their opinions on a
national issue.


LOCAL


Gainesville nonprofits struggle with decreased funding


By ERICA JOHNSON
Alligator Contributing Writer

In a period when joblessness is
common and businesses are closing
left and right, some of Gainesville's
nonprofit organizations are feeling
the crunch.
Alachua Habitat for Humanity, a
local branch of the national organi-
zation that builds and repairs hous-
es for the poor, is struggling against
decreased funding and staff.
Courtney Middleton, the man-
ager of the Alachua Habitat for Hu-
manity Thrift Store, said despite the
fact that people are often forced to
buy used goods during financial cri-
sis, sales are down.
The store sales, which are usu-
ally about $2,000 a day in a healthy
economy, have dropped to as low as
$200 and average about $700.
"We have a lot of people com-
ing in, but they still want stuff for
cheaper than we can give," Middle-
ton said.
The main source of income for
Habitat for Humanity, which has
built more than 100 homes in the
county since January, is donations.
The regular monthly donations are
continuing to come in, but sponta-
neous donations are down, said Peg
Iwata, Habitat for Humanity's re-
source and development manager.
The decline has inspired staff to
take new approaches to fundraising


by hosting events such as auctions,
pancake breakfasts and walk-a-
thons. One event the organization


will be holding is a large auction
called Signature Event 2009 on Sept.
25 in High Springs.


But despite the efforts to make up
the money, Iwata said the group has
been forced to take a new approach

to its work.
Rather than focusing on buying
chunks of land and building neigh-
borhoods, she said, they are begin-
ning to shift back toward buying
small pieces of land or having them
donated and asking for people in the
community to help out.
But some organizations, such as
Rebuilding Together North Central
Florida, a fellow home-repair or-
ganization, are not feeling strained
from the recession, said Melisa Mill-
er, the group's director.
"We are a smaller organization
that hasn't grown as large as some
of the others have," Miller said. "We
are already used to working on a
shoestring."
Rebuilding Together is a 4-year-
old organization that specializes in
emergency home repairs, accessi-
bility for the elderly and energy ef-
ficiency.
Miller said she believes one of
the reasons the organization has
been able to withstand the economic
condition is that they help improve
what has already been built rather
than doing any development them-
selves, much like Habitat for Hu-
manity's new plan.
"It's very interesting for us, be-
cause we have been receiving more
donations than ever," Miller said.
"I think a lot of times when there's
a recession people concentrate on
what's most important."


Homeless awareness activist announces city commission run


* FITZPATRICK HANDED OUT FOOD
IN FRONT OF CITY HALL MONDAY.

By CJ PRUNER
Alligator Writer

For his 18th birthday, Patrick Fitzpatrick
asked for a pair of flashy track shoes for the
upcoming season. For his 50th birthday, he
was hoping to find a gift-wrapped ticket to the
UF-Tennessee football game.
For his 60th birthday, Fitzpatrick wanted to
get arrested.
As a light drizzle fell on the large signs that
read, "Would Jesus Feed the Homeless?," "5th
Meanest City" and "Homeless Rights are Hu-
man Rights," near the stairs of Gainesville City
Hall, Fitzpatrick and a few others broke the
law Monday by handing out food to Gaines-


ville's homeless population.
The law, passed in 2003, prohibits the non-
city-sponsored distribution of food in front of
City Hall.
"We're breaking this law because we have
a conscience," said Fitzpatrick, who didn't get
his birthday wish. "I don't care who they are
- nobody can tell us who we can or can't give
a sandwich to."
After the display of civil disobedience, Fitz-
patrick, longtime homeless awareness activist,
announced that he will run for the 4th District
city commissioner seat, which will empty in
March when its current holder, Craig Lowe,
runs for mayor.
As the homeless munched peanut butter
sandwiches and chocolate cake in cadence
with faint, live accordion music, Fitzpatrick
assured observers and reporters of the serious-
ness of his campaign and the need to resist the
ever-growing power of current officials, who


he referred to as "the robber barons."
"The curve of politics typically goes in fa-
vor of the wealthy," he said. "The curve of jus-
tice, however, goes to the poor."
If elected, one of his first orders of busi-
ness will be to rescind the 130-person limit on
the amount of food served at the St. Francis
House shelter. Fitzpatrick plans to establish a
permanent place for homeless
Local residents to stay.
News Danny Griggs, a Hawthorne
resident who assists Fitzpatrick
in caring for the homeless, believes the restric-
tions imposed at the St. Francis House need to
be addressed immediately.
"I saw with my own eyes a pregnant wom-
an get turned away because she happened to
be No. 131," he said. "That's just not right."
According to Griggs, one of the main prob-
lems contributing to Gainesville's homeless
problem is a misguided perception that all


homeless residents have only themselves to
blame for their circumstances.
"They're smart people," Griggs said, men-
tioning innovations made by homeless people
to survive such as secretly cultivated gardens
in which they grow assortments of vegetables.
"Some of them just can't do it by themselves."
"Over there are the really stupid people,"
he said, pointing to the tall buildings across
from City Hall that house local businesses.
To David Wayne, who has been homeless
for the past four months, the issue isn't about
politics or winning elections it's about get-
ting the next meal. Wayne, whose battle with
leukemia made his face jerk and contort as he
speaks, sleeps near the courthouse. But despite
his problems, Wayne said the efforts of home-
less advocates like Fitzpatrick give him hope.
"You won't see worry in my eyes; I got a
secret," he said, pointing to the sky. "My secret
is God."

UF searching for


solution at receiver


A I

Andrew Stanfill / Alligator Staff
UF wide receiver Riley Cooper shows his frustration after dropping a pass during Florida's 23-13 win
against Tennessee in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Saturday.


* NO WR HAD 30 YARDS
RECEIVING AGAINST UT.

By PHIL KEGLER
Alligator Staff Writer
pkegler@alllgator org

A casual glance at Saturday's
stat sheet might lead a casual ob-
server to think there was a typo.
In every Florida football game
dating back to 1997 until the Ten-
nessee game, one Gator had at least
30 receiving yards.
That streak 156 games (and
likely longer, but individual box
scores from 1996 and earlier are not
readily available) came to an end
against the Volunteers, when tight
end Aaron Hernandez and wide re-
ceiver David Nelson led the Gators
with 26 yards.
The closest UF previously came
under coach Urban Meyer was Dal-
las Baker leading the Gators with 31
receiving yards in Florida's 21-17
loss at LSU in 2005.
"I'm not feeling good at receiver


right now," Meyer said after Sat-
urday's 23-13 victory. "I sit in my
bed at the hotel room, and I watch
this, and I'm thinking we're going
to pull out eight blazing receivers.
We're not doing that right now. We
have to get better at receiver."
Injuries and illness may be
partly to blame. Wide receiver De-
onte Thompson did not play due
to tightness in his hamstring, Riley
Cooper was bothered by a pinched
nerve for most of the game and Her-
nandez was battling the flu, which
caused him to be put in isolation
Friday. Receivers coach Billy Gon-
zales admitted Sunday that contin-
gency plans had been drawn up in
case Hemandez was forced to sit.
UF coaches and players also
pointed to a Tennessee defensive
game plan geared around not giv-
ing up the big play. Meyer said the
Volunteers played zone the entire
game, taking away the Gators' deep
passing threat.
"A big part of what we do is we

SEE RECEIVERS, PAGE 16


UF FOOTBALL

Meyer credits UT personnel
By BOBBY CALLOVI but we just have to get ready for it," Tebow
Alligator Staff Writer said.
bcallovi@alligator org


The Volunteers' defensive game plan suc-
ceeded in limiting the Gators' usually high-
powered offense Saturday.
It is a scheme future opponents are likely
to use in an attempt to have the same type of
success Tennessee had, but UF coach Urban
Meyer thinks the personnel on the field had
a lot to do with it, citing last season's game
against UT as an example. The Volunteers held
the Gators to just 243 yards of total offense in
2008 and quarterback Tim Tebow had only 96
passing yards.
"The year before, (former Tennessee defen-
sive coordinator John) Chavis did a nice job as
well," Meyer said. "I think the common theme
is great players."
That doesn't mean the Gators won't see
other teams trying to recreate some packages
drawn up by UT defensive coordinator Monte
Kiffin.
Tebow certainly expects to see more oppo-
nents playing the same style of defense as the
Volunteers.
"I'm sure we will see a lot of what they did,


MORE FLU: The flu bug has struck again.
This time, it was a member of the coaching
staff who was affected. Wide receiver coach
Billy Gonzales had a 104 degree fever Monday
and was receiving treatment
for the flu.
Running back Jeff Demps
and tight end Aaron Hernan-
dez were both feeling better
after struggling with flu-like
symptoms during Saturday's
game.
Meyer Defensive end Jermaine
Cunningham is still showing signs of the vi-
rus.

INJURY UPDATE: Meyer said wide receiver
Deonte Thompson (hamstring) and linebacker
Brandon Spikes (Achilles) are probable for
Saturday's game against Kentucky.
Thompson worked with a track coach to
help speed up recovery. As for Spikes, Meyer
said he just has to be smart because he has a
type of injury that tends to linger.


Gators can't explain WR play


Apparently explaining the
lack of production from
Florida's wide receivers
is harder than anyone thought.
When the media had the op-
portunity to speak with senior
receiver David Nelson and wide
receivers coach Billy Gonzales
after practice Sunday, we were
expecting them to help us figure
out what went wrong against
Tennessee.
No wideout caught more than
three passes, gained more than 26
yards or made a single play lon-
ger than 14 yards as Tim Tebow
threw for a mere 115 yards on
the day.
Anyone watching the game
could tell UF had no way of
stretching the field with Deonte
Thompson sidelined, and the
receivers that were on the field
often failed to get open or even


i catch the
ball.
UT de-
fensive co-
ordinator
Monte Kif-
Kyle Maistri fin master-
Kyle Points fully put
kmalstri@alligator org together a
zone cov-
erage scheme that took away
the very principles the spread
offense is founded on: get your
playmakers in one-on-one situa-
tions in space.
Still, the Gators are one of the
most talented teams if not the
most talented team in the na-
tion, and the Volunteers aren't
exactly a national powerhouse at
the moment.
There has to be some sort of

Gators fail to have 20-yard pass play for first time since '05


RECEIVERS, from page 14

try to let [Riley] Cooper Deonte couldn't
play run by a guy," Meyer said. "You're
not going to run by a guy that's retreating.
"We like man coverage around here. You
get us man coverage, it's a little easier to op-
erate."
Florida may also finally be feeling the de-
parture of Percy Harvin and Louis Murphy,
who are starting in the NFL this fall.
In the Gators' first Southeastern Confer-
ence game without the duo, they had no pass
play longer than 18 yards. Gonzales grades
his unit on "big plays" of 20 yards or more,
and Saturday was the first time UF failed to
have such a gain in the passing game since
Nov. 5, 2005 against Vanderbilt 47 games
ago.
"Could we use Percy Harvin as a play-
maker and everything? Absolutely," Tebow
said. "But I think the other guys are doing a
great job. There was games when Percy was
here when we weren't just running 80-yard
touchdown runs too."
There were no aerial trips to the end zone
either Saturday. Tennessee held Tebow with-


out a touchdown pass for the first time in
his 30 starts at UF. The last time the Gators
didn't record a passing touchdown was in
2005 against LSU.
"Players make plays, the play doesn't
make the player," Gonzales said. "You've
seen plenty of receivers over the last four or
five years catch a hitch and take it the dis-
tance."
No one seemed ready to
put the blame on a specific
player or position Sunday
night. Nelson, a redshirt se-
Football nior, said it's the receivers' job
to get open but subsequently
said UF wideouts were suc-
cessful in getting open.
Gonzales pointed to UF's success on third
down 24/36 (67%) through three games
- as a testament to his position group's con-
tribution. Florida converted eight of 13 third-
down opportunities against Tennessee. Half
of those came through the passing game, the
longest being a 18-yard screen pass to Her-
nandez on third and 14 in the second quar-
ter.
"We're really damn good at it right now,"
Gonzales said. "We've gotta make sure that's


a money down for us."
A big question is whether any young
wide receivers will be able to develop in time
to add depth this fall. The method to gain-
ing the coaches' trust is production in Tues-
day and Wednesday practices, players and
coaches agreed.
Redshirt freshmen Frankie Hammond Jr.,
Omarius Hines and T.J. Lawrence have been
mentioned as possible options, but none
caught a pass against the Volunteers.
"We've never been (big on) the word
gamer," Gonzales said. "You've gotta make
the plays over and over in practice."
The upcoming game against Kentucky
will give Florida wideouts their next chance
to shine. The Wildcats are 45th in the nation
in passing defense, allowing an average of
185.5 yards per game, including 245 yards
against Louisville last week.
"I'll never say that we're not as explosive
as we used to be or we're not as good as we
used to be," Nelson said. I think we're every
bit as good as we were last year, we're just
looking for an opportunity to prove that.
"Maybe we didn't show it this past week-
end, but we won the game. That's all that
matters."

explanation for what happened on the
Gators' side of the ball.
Yet, what we got from Nelson and
Gonzales was an eventual dismissal of all
the plausible explanations.
Somehow all three starting wide re-
ceivers graded out as champions, which
means that Nelson, Riley Cooper and
Brandon James did what was asked of
them on almost every play, according to
Gonzales.
It's hard to believe they were never
asked to make a play in the passing game
in between blocking for the running
backs.
Either way, it wasn't the receivers
fault. They did what was asked of them
according to the coaches.
Perhaps it was more a matter of the
personnel that wasn't on the field, as
explosive Andre Debose and Thompson
watched from the sideline.
"We've got playmakers now," Gon-
zales said. "We just have to make sure
we put them in the right spots to make
plays."
OK, so not a lack of playmakers.
Maybe the coaches didn't put them in
the right places at the right times.
"Players make the play, it's not the
plays that make the players," Gonzales
added no more than two minutes later.
Now I'm confused.
On the one hand, it's the coaches re-
sponsibility to put them in a position
to succeed, but on the other hand, it's
ultimately the players' responsibility
to make plays regardless of the what is
drawn up.
But we already know the receivers
must have taken care of that responsibil-
ity, they graded out as champions, re-
member?
Alright, maybe it was that under-
achiever Tim Tebow. Or that offensive
line.
They had to be the ones messing things
up. After all, you can't get the ball to the
receivers without blocking and throw-
ing.
"It's never the quarterback and it's
never the offensive line, so it's got to fall
on our shoulders," Nelson said. "I put
the blame solely on us, and we watched
film today. There were some plays where
we could've been open. There were some
plays where some guys were in the wrong
spot at the wrong time at the wrong situ-
ation."
Wait a minute, I thought you guys all
graded out as champions?!
But how do you grade out as champi-
ons if you're not getting open?
"We were open," Nelson added. "We
were open this weekend. We were mak-
ing plays. We made some plays this
weekend that we were really excited to
see."
Didn't you just tell us that the blame
fell solely on the receivers?
And that there were plays when you
could've done a better job getting open?
But now you were actually open the
whole time?
After talking to Gonzales and Nelson,
we can eliminate the coaching, the lack of
personnel, the quarterback, the offensive
line and the receivers themselves as rea-
sons for the poor performance.
Either Eric Berry and Co. were bet-
ter than we thought, or the definition of
"champion" has significantly slipped in
Gainesville.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2009 UF police search for mobile masturbator Police said a man was seen masturbating in a pickup truck near Sorority Row twice in the last week. The latest incident occurred on Friday at the intersection of Southwest Eighth Avenue and Southwest 13th Street, police said. A woman on a scooter looked over into the man's pickup truck, which was stopped next to her at a stoplight, and noticed he appeared to be masturbating inside the vehicle, University Police Department spokesman Capt. Jeff Holcomb said. A few days earlier, a student walking back to her sorority house noticed a man in a pickup truck on Museum Road who Local appeared to be doing News the same thing. The suspect is described as a white man, 35 to 40 years old, with short, brown, wavy hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a light colored shirt and driving an older model -possibly 1995 to 2000 -light blue Toyota Tacoma pickup truck, police said. Police were handing out fliers around the area on Friday to notify residents and will be increasing patrols.

UF ADMINISTRATION Faculty union cries out against salaries, sick pay By THOMAS STEWART Alligator Staff Writer tstewart@alligator org The faculty union declared a deadlock Friday in contract negotiations with UF over issues such as salaries and sabbaticals. Union members argued UF is refusing to compromise and isn't taking negotiations seriously. They argued that UF's salaries are in the bottom 10 percent of institutions in the Association of American Universities, a group of top research schools, and that UF is claiming it doesn't have the money to raise them, even though it plans to spend money on other initiatives, such as $12 million on a study center for students and $10 million on hiring up to 100 new faculty next year. "The data shows that the president and the trustees have the money, they just don't want to spend it on current faculty," said Chris Snodgrass, head of the union's bargaining unit. UF spokeswoman Janine Sikes declined to answer questions and said others involved are not authorized to comment. Sikes released a statement explaining UF's position. "We understand that the budget situation has been difficult, and we still face many challenges," the statement reads. "Nevertheless, we have a $16 million recurring budget gap to fill and we need to address it. Regardless of the union-declared impasse, we will continue to negotiate with the union in good faith, and our ultimate goal continues to be reaching a satisfactory agreement." But Snodgrass said UF's negotiators aren't playing fair. They cancel meetings, end them SEE FACULTY, PAGE 5 One body found in wreckage 0 THE PLANE CRASHED SUNDAY AROUND 6 P.M. By EMILY FUGGETTA Alligator Staff Writer efuggetta@alligator org The search continued Monday for the passengers aboard a plane that crashed in Broward County Sunday evening. The plane is said to have left Gainesville and was headed to a Fort Lauderdale executive airport, according to the Associated Press. The single-engine plane crashed around 6 p.m. near U.S. 27 just south of the Broward/Palm Beach County line, according to Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue. Because the Local crash occurred News in a remote location in the Everglades, the rescue crews had trouble accessing the site. The crews worked overnight Sunday and continued Monday.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2009 U ALLIGATOR, 3 Aramark lowers prices in response to complaints By THOMAS STEWART Alligator Staff Writer tstewa rt@a IIigator org Students may now find their money going a little further at the Reitz Union Pollo Tropical. After students cried foul over high prices, Aramark, UF's food service provider, lowered them to more closely match the prices at other locations across the state. The biggest changes were made to the menu's value meals, with one meal -the quarter-chicken with two sides -seeing a 33 percent drop in price from $6.69 to $4.49. Other value meals are between 50 cents and $1.70 cheaper. Meals in the TropiChops section saw price drops of up to $1.40. Students have also complained about the prices at Cheeburger Cheeburger, which replaced the cheaper Wendy's chain. Aramark may add cheaper items to the menu. Possibilities include a smaller burger -perhaps a 4-ounce burger in the $4 range and smaller milkshakes, said Bob Miller, UF's associate vice president of business affairs. Fries and drink combos might also change. As for Pollo Tropical, Miller said the price changes were made to reflect the prices at The Florida State University's on-campus location, but Aramark spokeswoman Jill Rodriguez wrote in an e-mail that the changes were made to bring the location in line with other corporately managed locations in the state. Menus requested from other Florida locaPolio Tropical tions indicate the prices are similar, though there are differences. Some regular size meals in the TropiChops section are still 40 cents more at the Reitz Union location, while large size meals are 10 cents cheaper. Rodriguez wrote that because there are no other Pollo Tropicals in Gainesville, Aramark initially set the prices based on prices at similar restaurants in the area. Some students weren't deterred by the higher prices at the Reitz Union, however. Pollo Tropical posted almost $73,000 in sales during the first two weeks of fall. By comparison, Capeesh -which was replaced by Pollo Tropical this summer -sold about $25,000 in the first two weeks of Fall 2008. Cheeburger Cheeburger did well too, but it didn't top Wendy's old numbers. It saw about $75,000 in sales, versus about $92,000 by Wendy's in the first two weeks of Fall 2008. There are other changes at campus restaurants that may help students on a budget. The Moe's Southwest Grill at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center, for example, is now offering a line of junior burritos. Miller said the corporate office decided to make the change when students complained about the absence of the cheaper burritos. The Reitz Union Subway is also offering $5 footlongs for the first time. Aramark put the cheaper subs on the menu after it took over operations from the franchisee, who had refused to offer them, Miller said. On-campus restaurants will still not be able to offer free drink refills, as is common at off-campus versions of the chains, though, because of logistical hurdles. "It's just logistically difficult to have a drink island for customers but not for people just sitting there studying," Miller said. Nonetheless, students will likely be happy with many of the menu changes. Environmental engineering junior Katie Graf said she's glad Pollo Tropical dropped its prices. The first time she ate there she didn't realize how expensive it was until they rang her up. "I was kind of put-off," Graf said. "I was like, 'I'll probably be going to Subway more."' "Now," she said, "I'll think about going here [Pollo Tropical] more." Half Chicken $7.49 with two sides Chicken Breast $6.49 with rice $6.59 Chicken Tropi(hops with beans $5.99 Side of White Rice large Roast Pork $6.49 $5.99 Curly Fries with rie arge $5.49 $4.09 $2.99 $1.99 $3.29 $2.69 Matt Tripp / Alligator Staff Polio Tropical employees serve a customer Monday inside the Reitz Union food court.

4, ALLIGATOR U TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2009 ON CAMPUS Number of students studying abroad down in 2009 By LAURA MONTALTO Alligator Contributing Writer Despite an increase in applicants for the class of 2013, the number of students studying abroad is down this year, acccording to the UF International Center. "The economy definitely is having an effect on students' decision to go abroad. We're seeing that right now," said Kirsten Eller Laufer, senior adviser at the UFIC. "Students want to go, but the cost is a huge issue." Prices range from $8,000 to $15,000 per semester, Laufer said. While the number of interested students visiting the UFIC has slightly decreased, the number of students who are actually able to go is even lower, she added. "The recession is a definite factor because we can't send every student," she said. But Laufer said UF hasn't seen the same large decreases that other schools across the country have seen, and the number of scholarships available through the UFIC hasn't been affected. The UFIC gives $80,000 every year to students going abroad for yearlong, summerlong and semester-long programs. "It's absolutely worth still going abroad," she said. "Today, going abroad sets you apart." Laufer offered some alternatives to students who want to go abroad but don't want to break the bank. "Going during the summer is a great op"The economy definitely is having an effect on students' decision to go abroad." Kirsten Eller Laufer Senior adviser at the UF International Center tion because it's more affordable," she said. "We have summer programs that go from three weeks to 12 weeks." Laufer also recommended going through a UF exchange program because students pay UF tuition, which is much more affordable. At UFIC's Study Abroad Fair, which takes place Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the Reitz Union Colonnade, students can meet with facultywho teach overseas and find information about outside study-abroad programs and other UF-approved schools like Boston University and The Florida State University. Students can also ask peer advisers, students who have already been abroad, questions. "Students who want to go should get to the fair as soon as possible because the brochures the outside programs bring with them always run out quickly," said Angela Grindal, UFIC's event coordinator. Despite the economy, the UFIC expects a normal turnout on Wednesday. "It's a great opportunity to see what's out there, even if study abroad isn't feasible," Laufer said. UF's Documentary Institute moves to Wake Forest 0 THE PROGRAM WAS CUT IN APRIL. UF's Documentary Institute, a graduate program that was eliminated during the April budget cuts, has been relocated to Wake Forest University.

Bougher said some students might go to Wake Forest for a year and also receive a Master of Fine Arts degree, which is considered a terminal degree, or the highest possible degree in an academic field.

"They keep taking steps to make it impossible to finish," he said. The negotiations have labored on for four years now, with no agreement in sight, he said. The impasse comes as UF is proposing to end a program that converts unused sick leave to cash when faculty leave UF. Faculty expressed their concerns about ending the program at Thursday's Faculty Senate meeting. Snodgrass said the other issues that led to Friday's impasse include UF's unwillingness to allow faculty to take research sabbaticals. UF currently allows semester-long sabbaticals and wants to cut down on them, while the union wants year-long sabbaticals every seven years, like other universities, he said. "Some faculty that have been here 20, 30 years and have never had a sabbatical," he said. Another issue involves intellectual property. The union says UF wants to be able to force faculty to produce online course content and other materials, which will be owned by UF. The union says faculty shouldn't be forced to produce content they will not even own the rights to. Tom Auxter, first vice president of the union, said the main issue is salary compression. Faculty are hired at market rates and then are not given raises over time to keep their salaries in line with other universities. "You end up being unable to meet life's expenses and take care of the development of your career," Auxter said. &XN Butler Plaza Newberry Squiar -335-1232 332-3937 Godfather's Smile.

6, ALLIGATOR U TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2009 Krafty Business Food industry giants use labels to fool consumers ajor food corporations are hoping that the average American will cling to catch phrases rather than read food nutrition labels. First, the awesome refrigerator from "The Jetsons" was "smart." Then, that tiny car next to you on Interstate 75 stopped being ridiculous and became "smart." After that, Glaceau even managed to make water "smart." Now, foods like Froot Loops, mayonnaise and Fudgsicle bars are dubbed "smart," too. "Smart Choices" was promoted as a universal nutritional ranking system that would make it easy for consumers to identify healthy foods without having to scour over nutritional facts. However, since it is controlled by major food industry players, it is closer to a marketing ploy than a real nutritional system. Companies behind this new program include PepsiCo, General Mills and Kraft Foods. Each pays up to $100,000 a year to use the labels, according to a report by MotherJones.com. Because companies have to pay to use the label, "Smart Choices" has a huge incentive to apply it to as many products as possible. To meet the "Smart Choices" criteria, a product only has to be better than the nutritional worst. For example, Froot Loops can get the "Smart Choices" logo on the front of its packaging because it is a "smarter" choice than other breakfast foods, like doughnuts. Ideally, the United States wouldn't need a universal nutritional labeling system to solve its obesity problem. Some people just don't realize that eating a package of Fruit Gushers doesn't count as eating a serving of fruit, though. On-the-go Americans who don't have the time or desire to read nutritional labels deserve a system that's better than "Smart Choices." Labeling foods like Reese's Puffs as nutritional isn't "smart," it's a deceptive scheme by companies trying to profit off of ignorance. Missing the Mark A last, UF and Aramark have responded to student outcry over high food prices on campus. Prices at Reitz Union restaurants Pollo Tropical and Subway now reflect similar restaurants off campus. Changes might be in the works for Cheeburger Cheeburger, the overpriced replacement to Wendy's, according to UF's associate vice president of business affairs. We applaud Aramark for actually responding to the concerns of students, but we have to ask: What more can UF and Aramark do to lower food prices?

Caii 376-4458 Opinions ALLIGATOR www.aIIigato r.org/opinions /vow SG AR HO 3 -0 Freshmen: It's OK to not like college question for first-years here at UF: How are you holding up? It seems like a relevant question to ask during week five of the semester. If this is your first year, you've probably gotten a decent feel for the school and its people and culture by now. Plus, the first "actual" football game of the season was this past weekend, and the first cluster of exams is probably popping up either this week or next. Maybe most importantly, this is about the time when the excited high of living away from home and being at a new school begins to fade a bit, and people start asking themselves if this is the place they want to be. And it's tough -possibly tougher at UF than at most other schools -if the answer is anything other than yes. Consider this: It's not a secret that UF has no shortage of school spirit. We proudly don Gators apparel and cheerfully end e-mails, voice mail greetings and occasionally conversations with "Go Gators," and it's not just because our football team kicks ass. (They do, though.) It's also out of necessity; ours is a school of about 50,000 students, and the culture of Gatordom affords us all common ground when, given UF's size, common ground would otherwise be hard to come by. It's a bonding experience that's intensely effective, and it's the reason why UF alumni who don't know each other can have random conversations but graduates from, say, the University of Phoenix usually can't. But if it doesn't take for whatever reason -you have no previous connection at all to UF, for instance, or if school spirit isn't really your thing -it can be intensely alienating. If you're already inclined to feel that way, the problem is only exacerbated because you're very much supposed to like UF. When you're a freshman, there is indeed a correct answer when people ask how college is going -usually, w"Yeah, UF's awesome, love it" or some variation thereof -so that you don't look too negative or out of place. And it doesn't help that Joe Dellosa very well-meaning freshman advisletters@alligator org ers and Preview leaders sometimes treat having reservations and insecurities about UF not as a completely natural feeling but as a disease that needs to be cured ("Get involved! Make the campus smaller! Meet people in the laundry room!"). Don't get me wrong. There are so many reasons why it is, in fact, great to be a Florida Gator, and you'd be completely justified if you've fallen in love with UF and the people in it. But if you haven't, that's OK, too. With all the talk of how college is supposed to be the best years of your life, it's very easy to feel pressure to make your college experience amazing and even easier to get disappointed when your attempts fall short. You might have gotten saddled with a bad stack of classes, you're not clicking with the people you meet, or you just really miss your friends back home. And if it's any comfort, whatever your insecurities, there are probably a dozen other people on your dorm floor alone who are, to some degree, feeling the same way -even if they say "Yeah, UF's awesome, love it" when you ask them how things are going. Remember, as exciting and exhilarating as college can be, it can also be boring, frustrating and lonely, and that's true for everyone. Feel free to factor that in when deciding how you're holding up.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2009 U ALLIGATOR, 7 Letters to the Editor Wall Street Journal should be available As a McCain supporter and a conservative, I've always wished there was a more conservative newspaper voice on campus. And as a conservative supporter of the Progress Party, I'm excited to see they are supporting bringing The Wall Street Journal to campus alongside The New York Times. They have proposed cutting wasteful spending in other places to achieve this goal. It's refreshing to see a party that encompasses both sides of the spectrum when making decisions. Nick Alsaka 2LS Wasted SG money could fund paper In a year when budget cuts incited outrage over the proposed elimination of The New York Times, isn't it better to cut costs that don't directly benefit students? Each year Student Government spends around $100,000 of students' tuition on unnecessary internal costs. Money from cutting this waste can go toward funding improvements such as expanding free printing and offering The Wall Street Journal on campus along with the Times. The Progress Party campaigned last year for SG pay cuts from day one by signing a pledge that they would not receive any monetary compensation for their executive positions. They've also targeted specific unnecessary programs, which can be cut or reduced immediately, and reroute the funds to more student-oriented initiatives. Rather than lead with kamikaze legislation or defending wasteful spending during budget cuts, Progress will continue lead by example and make concrete proposals to help the students, not themselves. Nick Mildebrath 4LS Scalpers show business sense In response to the letter in Monday's Alligator that called student ticket scalpers a disgrace to Gator Nation: What a load of crap. The kid that's getting a hundred bucks for a student ticket isn't a disgrace to anyone. He or she is a testament to UF's Warrington College of Business Administration. Student season ticket holders are already hamstrung in that they can only sell their tickets to people with Gator 1 cards. If a hundred bucks is market value out in the more or less free market of nonstudent ticket prices, then the student who gets that much for a ticket should be applauded. We're in a recession. Even before that was the case, jobs were scarce for studentaged people in Gainesville (another direct function of supply and demand in a college town). The stereotype of the poor college student is no myth, even at UF. Buying student season tickets and selling them for 10 times face value is an easy way to watch a relatively small investment yield huge profits. If you're struggling to make rent and another student wants to pay you a lot of money to watch Tim Tebow and Brandon Spikes hit Lane Kiffin's boys in the mouth, don't feel like you're a blight upon the school for accepting the offer. Jon Levy 6JM Community needs classical station I can't tell you how much I miss classical music from UF radio. You have cut it, perhaps, to give students a chance to report news. But what is the community supposed to do? Do you have no obligation to us? It is very, very sad to live without music, and you don't care. I've never lived anywhere without a good classical station. Until now. This makes Gainesville an impoverished community. Barbara Wickwire Gainesville resident SG official right to resign I was surprised to hear of the story last week about William Sedgwick, a UF Student Government official who was arrested on a DUI charge and resigned. Eight years ago, UF had a Student Body president who was arrested on a DUI charge, which was an embarrassment to the student body. But he remained in office. It is a sign of sensible character that Sedgwick resigned his public office and that the SG president accepted it, accepting responsibility for his lapse in judgment. Of course, this does not excuse SG and its long-running majority party for its ongoing lack of transparency or fairness to UF's "independent" parties -but it does show that there has been a modest ethical improvement since my time at UF as a student senator.

8, ALLIGATOR U TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2009 Campus political groups debate health-care reform The forum was sponsored by Chomp the Vote By LIZ BEHRMAN Alligator Contributing Writer Students listened to fiery arguments surrounding national health-care reform Monday night. About 60 people sat in the Pugh Hall Auditorium while members of the College Democrats and College Republicans answered questions during the Chomp the Vote Health Care Forum. Chomp the Vote Director Jenna Stern said the purpose of the debate was to inform students about the issue of health-care reform. "They now know the Democrat and Republican platforms, where they stand and LOCAL have a better understanding about why the debate is so heated," she said. Representing the College Republicans were Bryan Griffin and Johnathan Lott, while Eric Conrad and Ben Cavataro represented the College Democrats. Each side had one minute to answer each question, and the opposing team had 30 seconds to make a rebuttal. The panel discussed points such as the fiscal responsibility of the proposed reform strategies, the efficiency of Medicare and Medicaid versus private insurance and other ways besides a public health insurance option that could offer coverage to all Americans. Although both sides had differing opinions on the matters, they agreed reform is necessary. "We're both trying to achieve the same goal here," Griffin said. "We're both tying to keep people alive for as long as possible." Throughout the debate, the College Republicans argued against a public option for health care, while Conrad the College Democrats were in favor of it. "This is a chance for people to choose their care, stay alive longer and have a better quality of life," Conrad said. "I think if somebody was undecided, hopefully they have made up their mind by the end of the night," said sophomore Jacob Smith, a member of the College Democrats. Smith said he thought the debate was a little redundant at times but was very informative. Stem said she was glad the debate brought the issue to the attention of the students. "Chomp the Vote really wants to engage students," she said. "Our job is to register and educate the campus about what's going on locally, in the state and in the naLion." Stem said the two groups asked Chomp the Vote to set up the debate. She said they might consider hosting similar events in the future. For now, she said, this was just a forum for students to argue their opinions on a national issue. Gainesville nonprofits struggle with decreased funding By ERICA JOHNSON Alligator Contributing Writer In a period when joblessness is common and businesses are closing left and right, some of Gainesville's nonprofit organizations are feeling the crunch. Alachua Habitat for Humanity, a local branch of the national organization that builds and repairs houses for the poor, is struggling against decreased funding and staff. Courtney Middleton, the manager of the Alachua Habitat for Humanity Thrift Store, said despite the fact that people are often forced to buy used goods during financial crisis, sales are down. The store sales, which are usually about $2,000 a day in a healthy economy, have dropped to as low as $200 and average about $700. "We have a lot of people coming in, but they still want stuff for cheaper than we can give," Middleton said. The main source of income for Habitat for Humanity, which has built more than 100 homes in the county since January, is donations. The regular monthly donations are continuing to come in, but spontaneous donations are down, said Peg Iwata, Habitat for Humanity's resource and development manager. The decline has inspired staff to take new approaches to fundraising by hosting events such as auctions, will be holding is a large auction But despite the efforts to make up pancake breakfasts and walk-acalled Signature Event 2009 on Sept. the money, Iwata said the group has thons.

Rather than focusing on buying chunks of land and building neighborhoods, she said, they are beginning to shift back toward buying small pieces of land or having them donated and asking for people in the community to help out. But some organizations, such as Rebuilding Together North Central Florida, a fellow home-repair organization, are not feeling strained from the recession, said Melisa Miller, the group's director. "We are a smaller organization that hasn't grown as large as some of the others have," Miller said. "We are already used to working on a shoestring." Rebuilding Together is a 4-yearold organization that specializes in emergency home repairs, accessibility for the elderly and energy efficiency. Miller said she believes one of the reasons the organization has been able to withstand the economic condition is that they help improve what has already been built rather than doing any development themselves, much like Habitat for Humanity's new plan. "It's very interesting for us, because we have been receiving more donations than ever," Miller said. "I think a lot of times when there's a recession people concentrate on what's most important." Homeless awareness activist announces city commission run FITZPATRICK HANDED OUT FOOD IN FRONT OF CITY HALL MONDAY. ByCJ PRUNER Alligator Writer For his 18th birthday, Patrick Fitzpatrick asked for a pair of flashy track shoes for the upcoming season. For his 50th birthday, he was hoping to find a gift-wrapped ticket to the UF-Tennessee football game. For his 60th birthday, Fitzpatrick wanted to get arrested. As a light drizzle fell on the large signs that read, "Would Jesus Feed the Homeless?," "5th Meanest City" and "Homeless Rights are Human Rights," near the stairs of Gainesville City Hall, Fitzpatrick and a few others broke the law Monday by handing out food to Gainesville's homeless population. The law, passed in 2003, prohibits the noncity-sponsored distribution of food in front of City Hall. "We're breaking this law because we have a conscience," said Fitzpatrick, who didn't get his birthday wish. "I don't care who they are -nobody can tell us who we can or can't give a sandwich to." Af ter the display of civil disobedience, Fitzpatrick, longtime homeless awareness activist, announced that he will run for the 4th District city commissioner seat, which will empty in March when its current holder, Craig Lowe, runs for mayor. As the homeless munched peanut butter sandwiches and chocolate cake in cadence with faint, live accordion music, Fitzpatrick assured observers and reporters of the seriousness of his campaign and the need to resist the ever-growing power of current officials, who he referred to as "the robber barons." "The curve of politics typically goes in favor of the wealthy," he said. "The curve of justice, however, goes to the poor." If elected, one of his first orders of business will be to rescind the 130-person limit on the amount of food served at the St. Francis House shelter. Fitzpatrick plans to establish a permanent place for homeless Local residents to stay. News Danny Griggs, a Hawthorne resident who assists Fitzpatrick in caring for the homeless, believes the restrictions imposed at the St. Francis House need to be addressed immediately. "I saw with my own eyes a pregnant woman get turned away because she happened to be No. 131," he said. "That's just not right." According to Griggs, one of the main problems contributing to Gainesville's homeless problem is a misguided perception that all homeless residents have only themselves to blame for their circumstances. "They're smart people," Griggs said, mentioning innovations made by homeless people to survive such as secretly cultivated gardens in which they grow assortments of vegetables. "Some of them just can't do it by themselves." "Over there are the really stupid people," he said, pointing to the tall buildings across from City Hall that house local businesses. To David Wayne, who has been homeless for the past four months, the issue isn't about politics or winning elections -it's about getting the next meal. Wayne, whose battle with leukemia made his face jerk and contort as he speaks, sleeps near the courthouse. But despite his problems, Wayne said the efforts of homeless advocates like Fitzpatrick give him hope. "You won't see worry in my eyes; I got a secret," he said, pointing to the sky. "My secret is God."

Sports TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2009 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org UF searching for solution at receiver Andrew Stanfill / Alligator Staff UF wide receiver Riley Cooper shows his frustration after dropping a pass during Florida's 23-13 win against Tennessee in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Saturday. 7" right now," Meyer said after Saturday's 23-13 victory. "I sit in my bed at the hotel room, and I watch this, and I'm thinking we're going to pull out eight blazing receivers. We're not doing that right now. We have to get better at receiver." Injuries and illness may be partly to blame. Wide receiver Deonte Thompson did not play due to tightness in his hamstring, Riley Cooper was bothered by a pinched nerve for most of the game and Hernandez was battling the flu, which caused him to be put in isolation Friday. Receivers coach Billy Gonzales admitted Sunday that contingency plans had been drawn up in case Hernandez was forced to sit. UF coaches and players also pointed to a Tennessee defensive game plan geared around not giving up the big play. Meyer said the Volunteers played zone the entire game, taking away the Gators' deep passing threat. "A big part of what we do is we SEE RECEIVERS, PAGE 16 UF FOOTBALL Meyer credits UT personnel By BOBBY CALLOVI Alligator Staff Writer bcallovi@alligator org The Volunteers' defensive game plan succeeded in limiting the Gators' usually highpowered offense Saturday. It is a scheme future opponents are likely to use in an attempt to have the same type of success Tennessee had, but UF coach Urban Meyer thinks the personnel on the field had a lot to do with it, citing last season's game against UT as an example. The Volunteers held the Gators to just 243 yards of total offense in 2008 and quarterback Tim Tebow had only 96 passing yards. "The year before, (former Tennessee defensive coordinator John) Chavis did a nice job as well," Meyer said. "I think the common theme is great players." That doesn't mean the Gators won't see other teams trying to recreate some packages drawn up by UT defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin. Tebow certainly expects to see more opponents playing the same style of defense as the Volunteers. "I'm sure we will see a lot of what they did, but we just have to get ready for it," Tebow said. MORE FLU: The flu bug has struck again. This time, it was a member of the coaching staff who was affected. Wide receiver coach Billy Gonzales had a 104 degree fever Monday and was receiving treatment for the flu. Running back Jeff Demps and tight end Aaron Hernandez were both feeling better after struggling with flu-like symptoms during Saturday's game. Meyer Defensive end Jermaine Cunningham is still showing signs of the virus. INJURY UPDATE: Meyer said wide receiver Deonte Thompson (hamstring) and linebacker Brandon Spikes (Achilles) are probable for Saturday's game against Kentucky. Thompson worked with a track coach to help speed up recovery. As for Spikes, Meyer said he just has to be smart because he has a type of injury that tends to linger. Gators can't explain WR play pparently explaining the lack of production from Florida's wide receivers is harder than anyone thought. When the media had the opportunity to speak with senior receiver David Nelson and wide receivers coach Billy Gonzales after practice Sunday, we were expecting them to help us figure out what went wrong against Tennessee. No wideout caught more than three passes, gained more than 26 yards or made a single play longer than 14 yards as Tim Tebow threw for a mere 115 yards on the day. Anyone watching the game could tell UF had no way of stretching the field with Deonte Thompson sidelined, and the receivers that were on the field often failed to get open or even catch the ball. UT defensive coordinator Monte KifKyle Maistri fin masterKyle Points fully put kmaistri@aligatororgtogether a zone coverage scheme that took away the very principles the spread offense is founded on: get your playmakers in one-on-one situations in space. Still, the Gators are one of the most talented teams -if not the most talented team -in the nation, and the Volunteers aren't exactly a national powerhouse at the moment.

By PHIL KEGLER Alligator Staff Writer pkegler@a IIigator org A casual glance at Saturday's stat sheet might lead a casual observer to think there was a typo. In every Florida football game dating back to 1997 until the Tennessee game, one Gator had at least 30 receiving yards. That streak -156 games (and likely longer, but individual box scores from 1996 and earlier are not readily available) -came to an end against the Volunteers, when tight end Aaron Hernandez and wide receiver David Nelson led the Gators with 26 yards. The closest UF previously came under coach Urban Meyer was Dallas Baker leading the Gators with 31 receiving yards in Florida's 21-17 loss at LSU in 2005. "I'm not feeling good at receiver

16, ALLIGATOR U TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2009 "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" Gators fail to have 20-yard pass play for first time since '05 RECEIVERS, from page 14 try to let [Riley] Cooper -Deonte couldn't play -run by a guy," Meyer said. "You're not going to run by a guy that's retreating. "We like man coverage around here. You get us man coverage, it's a little easier to operate." Florida may also finally be feeling the departure of Percy Harvin and Louis Murphy, who are starting in the NFL this fall. In the Gators' first Southeastern Conference game without the duo, they had no pass play longer than 18 yards. Gonzales grades his unit on "big plays" of 20 yards or more, and Saturday was the first time UF failed to have such a gain in the passing game since Nov. 5, 2005 against Vanderbilt -47 games ago. "Could we use Percy Harvin as a playmaker and everything? Absolutely," Tebow said. "But I think the other guys are doing a great job. There was games when Percy was here when we weren't just running 80-yard touchdown runs too." There were no aerial trips to the end zone either Saturday. Tennessee held Tebow without a touchdown pass for the first time in his 30 starts at UF. The last time the Gators didn't record a passing touchdown was in 2005 against LSU. "Players make plays, the play doesn't make the player," Gonzales said. "You've seen plenty of receivers over the last four or five years catch a hitch and take it the distance." No one seemed ready to put the blame on a specific player or position Sunday night. Nelson, a redshirt seFootball nior, said it's the receivers' job to get open but subsequently said UF wideouts were successful in getting open. Gonzales pointed to UF's success on third down -24/36 (67%) through three games -as a testament to his position group's contribution. Florida converted eight of 13 thirddown opportunities against Tennessee. Half of those came through the passing game, the longest being a 18-yard screen pass to Hernandez on third and 14 in the second quarter. "We're really damn good at it right now," Gonzales said. "We've gotta make sure that's a money down for us." A big question is whether any you wide receivers will be able to develop in ti to add depth this fall. The method to ga ing the coaches' trust is production in Tu day and Wednesday practices, players a coaches agreed. Redshirt freshmen Frankie Hammond Omarius Hines and T.J. Lawrence have be mentioned as possible options, but no caught a pass against the Volunteers. "We've never been (big on) the wo gamer," Gonzales said. "You've gotta ma the plays over and over in practice." The upcoming game against Kentuc will give Florida wideouts their next cha to shine. The Wildcats are 45th in the nati in passing defense, allowing an average 185.5 yards per game, including 245 yar against Louisville last week. "I'll never say that we're not as explos as we used to be or we're not as good as used to be," Nelson said. I think we're eve bit as good as we were last year, we're j looking for an opportunity to prove that. "Maybe we didn't show it this past we end, but we won the game. That's all ti matters." --* e Jessica Warshaver / Alligator Staff KYLE, from page 14 explanation for what happened on the Gators' side of the ball. Yet, what we got from Nelson and Gonzales was an eventual dismissal of all the plausible explanations. Somehow all three starting wide receivers graded out as champions, which means that Nelson, Riley Cooper and Brandon James did what was asked of them on almost every play, according to Gonzales. It's hard to believe they were never asked to make a play in the passing game in between blocking for the running backs. Either way, it wasn't the receivers fault. They did what was asked of them according to the coaches. Perhaps it was more a matter of the personnel that wasn't on the field, as explosive Andre Debose and Thompson watched from the sideline. "We've got playmakers now," Gonzales said. "We just have to make sure we put them in the right spots to make plays." OK, so not a lack of playmakers. Maybe the coaches didn't put them in the right places at the right times. "Players make the play, it's not the plays that make the players," Gonzales added no more than two minutes later. Now I'm confused. On the one hand, it's the coaches responsibility to put them in a position to succeed, but on the other hand, it's ultimately the players' responsibility to make plays regardless of the what is ng drawn up. me But we already know the receivers inmust have taken care of that responsibilesity, they graded out as champions, rend member? Alright, maybe it was that under[r.' achiever Tim Tebow. Or that offensive en line. They had to be the ones messing things rd up. After all, you can't get the ball to the ke receivers without blocking and throwing. ky "It's never the quarterback and it's ice never the offensive line, so it's got to fall on on our shoulders," Nelson said. "I put of the blame solely on us, and we watched ds film today. There were some plays where ive we could've been open. There were some we plays where some guys were in the wrong ery spot at the wrong time at the wrong situust ation." Wait a minute, I thought you guys all ekgraded out as champions?! hat But how do you grade out as champions if you're not getting open? "We were open," Nelson added. "We were open this weekend. We were making plays. We made some plays this weekend that we were really excited to see." Didn't you just tell us that the blame fell solely on the receivers? And that there were plays when you could've done a better job getting open? But now you were actually open the whole time? After talking to Gonzales and Nelson, we can eliminate the coaching, the lack of personnel, the quarterback, the offensive line and the receivers themselves as reasons for the poor performance. Either Eric Berry and Co. were better than we thought, or the definition of "champion" has significantly slipped in Gainesville.
