tuition increase debated
Board, Crist clash
over ‘08-’09 fees

Tuition will increase by 8 percent next year –
if the Florida Board of Governors has its way.
The BOG passed the increase at its Jan. 24
meeting in Tallahassee to provide more money
for need-based financial aid and hire new faculty. But when Gov. Charlie Crist released his
recommended budget for 2008-2009 in January, it
listed no increase.
While Crist’s budget must go before the legislature and can be changed during the session,
the question of who has the authority to set tuition hasn’t been determined.
A lawsuit filed in July by former Sen. Bob
Graham challenging the legislature’s authority
to decide tuition is still pending. A judge must
now decide whether the suit has a legal standing.
The BOG voted to increase tuition in the
hopes of bringing enrollment in line with the
state’s current budgetary situation, said Bill
Edmonds, BOG Director of Communications.
“When you’re faced with a budget crisis and
you have the lowest tuition and fees in the nation, it’s appropriate to have an increase,” he
said.
Edmonds said the increase will yield an extra $32 million for the State University System
and cost students $93 more per semester. Thirty
percent of the increase would go toward needbased financial aid, Edmonds said. The other 70
percent would be used to hire approximately 220
new faculty members, he said.
“We currently do not have the faculty in the
classroom to provide an adequate education,”
Edmonds said.
The shortage of faculty is keeping students in college longer, because needed classes
are not being offered frequently enough,
Edmonds said.
“We’ve got to make progress on this faculty
shortage,” Edmond said.
Eight percent was chosen by the BOG because it “determined it was enough to make a
difference [in the budget] but not to be enough to
be a burden [to students],” Edmonds said.
Calls and e-mails to Gov. Crist’s office were
not returned before deadline.

Hover-crafts,
solar-powered
racing boats and window-cleaning robots might seem like something out of the future, but these
projects are actually under construction right now by UNF mechanical engineering students
in Professor Joseph Campbell’s
senior design course.
Planning for some projects began in the fall and construction
began in January. Six finished
projects will be presented at an
annual engineering symposium
in April by teams of three or
four students.
Some of the projects are continuations of those started by
seniors last year, Campbell said.
Each team was given a $1,000 budget and had to make up for added
costs.
The teams wrote letters to
manufacturing companies asking
for a discount on materials and
asked special interest groups for
financial backup, Mike Ferguson
said.
Ferguson and three teammates are working on the solar
splash boat, which is able to seat
one person. The race boat will be
powered by an electrical engine,
solar-powered panels and a battery. The team picked this project
because of its fascination with
motors and electronics.
The hull of the boat was built
by students last year and now
Ferguson and his team are working to get it running. Ferguson
said it will make its way to a
solar splash competition in
Arkansas, although it will not
appear at a scheduled American
Society of Mechanical Engineers competition.
“We want to take it there [to
the ASME competition], but we
will all be in Germany working
throughout the summer,” he
said.

mischief (Building 8) –
A university employee7
reported her lamp damaged, DVDs stolen and
other personal items
missing when she returned to her office after
the weekend. UPD
conducted a key audit,
but found no suspects.
2 Jan. 28 – Drug
paraphernalia (Building
T) – After a dorm room
inspection, UPD was con8
tacted regarding a pipe
sitting on a desk in the
room. The officer inspected the pipe and found a
strong odor of marijuana
and residue. The students
were not present at the
time, so the pipe was
9
confiscated and the case
was referred to Student
Conduct. 10
3 Jan. 28 – Harassment
(Building 9) – A UNF
employee contacted UPD
about a disturbing encounter between herself
and her son’s father. The
man came to her office
mumbling incoherently
and disrupting the area.
The employee said it was
11
typical behavior when he
did not take his medication. Two colleagues 12
asked the man to leave,
11but he refused. When
they threatened to call
security, the man left
before an officer could
arrive.

phernalia (Building Q)
– A student reported a
strong smell of marijuana
coming from a dorm
room. A UPD officer

5 Feb. 1 – Drug investigation (Lot 11) – An officer approached a parked
vehicle when he suspected drug use was taking
place. When the driver
rolled down the window,
a cloud of smoke smelling of marijuana blew
out of the car. The seven
occupants were searched
and admitted to smoking a blunt in the vehicle.
They would not reveal
where they obtained the
drugs. All seven students
were referred to Student
Conduct.
6 Feb. 2 – Resisting
officer (Lot 15) – An officer was investigating an
incident when a suspect
yelled “F*** the police”
and fled the scene. The
suspect later came to the
officer and admitted he
was the one who ran.
The suspect appeared to
be under the influence
of an unknown substance and was uncooperative with the officer.
He was issued a Notice to
Appear.
7 Feb. 2 – Fake IDs
(Lot 16) – An officer
attempted to stop students entering the Crossings when he saw bottles
of beer near the vehicle
they exited. They fled,
but the officer apprehended the driver of the
vehicle. After a search,
three fake Georgia drivers’ licenses were found.
One of the students
admitted to making the
IDs. He was placed under
arrest and transported to
the Duval County Jail.

The other two projects are a
supersonic wind tunnel and a
tide-turbine power generator.
All the projects are done
primarily in the classroom or
outside behind Building 51,
Curtis said. Near the end of the spring
term, students might be able to
view the successful projects displayed on campus, Curtis said.
The teams are left to work on
their own for the most part, with
Campbell checking calculations
and offering advice.

“I mean, we could have someone else drive it for us, but if
something goes wrong, it will be
a big problem [because we won’t
be there to fix it],” Ferguson
said.
“It’s a pretty cool idea because it’s a renewal of used energy sources and has three types
of engineering in one,” he said.
A different four-person team
is working on a hover-craft,
which was started last year.
The new seniors are faced
with adding safety measures
and improving the steering.
The hover-craft is four feet
wide and about seven feet long
and fits two people.
Another project, the windowcleaning robot or “winbot,” is
being built twice by separate
teams.
“One person might see something another doesn’t,” said
Adam Curtis, a student from
one of the teams designing
a “winbot.”
Curtis’ team had a final cost
of about $1,300 with some money
coming from the team members
pockets.
They have named their robot
“TitanRain” and it works by using the hyper-fluidity in the ball
bearings of the robot to cause
the fluid to conduct electricity,
which powers the robot.
“We chose this project because
it was a challenge to us, but we
all knew we could do it and we

Spinnaker speaks with Communication department chair
Goff: UNF unique, achieving significance
D
epartment of Communication Chair
Dr. David Goff joined the university in August 2007. He discussed
the current status of the Communication
Department and his plans for the future
with the Spinnaker.
Goff has more than 20 years of
administrative experience at the
university level. His most recent stint
was with University of West Georgia as
chairperson of the Department of Mass
Communication and Theatre Arts. He was
the founding director of the school of
Mass Communications and Journalism at
the University of Southern Mississippi.
told when I got into the department is
our students didn’t have the best reputation out there. I immediately set about
visiting people in the professional
community and I found out that really
wasn’t true. What I have found, pretty
much across the board, is a very good
opinion of our students. I have been
working since I got here, getting out
and trying to visit and build relationships in the professional community.
Are you considering creating
master’s degree for
communication?
Yeah, we are looking and considering a master’s. I envision it
right now as more of a master’s in
mass communication. That would
give us an umbrella under which we
could create tracks just like we do at
the undergraduate level for different
people with different kinds of
interests. It’s an idea that’s just taking shape. I am also involved in an
interdisciplinary group of chairs
What are your impressions of UNF after
one semester?
It’s a young university, and the area
is growing despite the downturn in
the economy. I see UNF as working to
somewhat redefine its role and enhance
its status as a university and become a
significant part of Northeast Florida.
What made you decide to come to UNF?
I was at a smaller university in Georgia,
and in my three years there, we just kind
of fluted around or went in a circle and
that was a little disappointing to me. I
saw an opportunity here – particularly
with UNF being the only public university
in Northeast Florida to really take that
uniqueness and really achieve something significant for the communication
department.
Where would you consider UNF’s Communication Department as far as building relationships with the professional
community?
We’re not doing badly. I’ll be honest
with you; one of the first things I was
David Morico
What are your plans for the
Communication Department’s faculty?
Well, we desperately need new faculty.
You can see that when you try to get
into courses; there aren’t enough seats
sometimes and not enough sections to
go around. So adding staffing is certainly
a critical area. I think the area that we
all agree we need to move in is more
consideration of the online dimension of
all media forms.
Calling all men: Women’s Center
promotes national campus program
By Josh Salman
Assistant News Editor
Violence, rape and sexist behavior don’t just affect women;
these are problems for men too. A
new group at the Women’s Center
is hoping to highlight the issues
affecting both sexes with the creation of a men’s group.
The
group,
Real
Man’s
Campaign, is part of a nationwide campus program using
men’s groups to raise awareness of the issues women face.
Through many events throughout
the semester, the group plans to
focus on raising awareness of the
new campaign.
“The group puts forth the message that men are responsible,
respectable and supportive, and
that they don’t condone any type
of sexist or oppressive behaviors,” said Sheila Spivey, assistant
director of the Victim Advocate
Program and founder of the
UNF group.
Spivey said she got the idea
several years ago when hosting a rape awareness event on
the Green and more people were
attracted to the men’s aspect.
‘real man’ Events
March - Poster campaign
begins: “Real Man of the
Month” featuring
nominated men.
April - “Walk a Mile in a
Woman’s Shoes:” men will
don high heels and walk
around the Green.
“I figured we needed to incorporate men into the work we do,”
Spivey said. “It’s not a women’s
issue. It’s not a men’s issue. It’s a
human issue.”
The program is open to the
entire campus community and
started Jan. 31 with “A Call to
Men.” Ted Bunch, cofounder of
the nationwide program, was the
host and guest speaker.
The goal of the group is to
challenge the existing views of
masculinity and change the perception of manhood, Spivey said.
“This is a call to all men to step
up and be role models,” Spivey
said. “Not all men are violent,
and we want to challenge others
to do the same. That includes confronting another man who made a
sexist joke.”
In March, the group will start
a monthly poster campaign – Real
Man of the Month – in which each
month a man or men’s group, such
as an athletic team or fraternity,
will be nominated and featured
on posters throughout campus.
The group will host “Walk
a Mile in a Woman’s Shoes” in
April to raise awareness of violence issues. Male participants
will put on high heels and walk
around the Green to discover the
different types of things women
experience, Spivey said.
“I think the men’s group is a
pretty good idea,” said Giovanni
Medina, an undecided sophomore.
“Rape and violence are serious
topics and should be brought to
light. There’s no better place to do
that than on a college campus.”
Spivey hopes the group will
have a large impact because when
peers educate peers the message
is received better, she said.

and one or two deans, including the
graduate dean, and we are in the early
stages of discussing how we could create
something unique at UNF under kind of
a broad umbrella of digital media.
What is your primary goal in the near
future for the program?
Accreditation is probably the overarching large goal. The organization
accredits 110 programs nationally, I
think. We would love to be among that
number. It’s not a problem for those
who are not accredited. There are
certain majors that you could be in, like
nursing, where you couldn’t get a job if
you didn’t graduate from an accredited
nursing program. But you can certainly
work in any of the media fields without
graduating from an accredited program.
By in large, we’re largely in compliance
with the existing accrediting standards.
There are just a few things we have to
tweak.

The Florida primary saw a drastic

Between the governor and the

Death threats curtail
press in Afghanistan
G
rowing up in a country where individuals have the right to speak their
minds, Americans often mistake
U.S. laws and policy for global truths.
In 2007, Pervez Kambakhsh, a student
journalist with the Afghan newspaper
“Jahan-e Naw,” allegedly downloaded and
distributed material that questioned the
Koran and the status of women in Islamic
society. For this trespass, the head of the
Afghan Senate, Sibghatullah Mojaddedi,
sentenced Kambakhsh to death.
In a country where the United States
and coalition forces struggle everyday to
wipe clean the remaining Taliban vestiges,
the men in power seem reluctant to let go
their stranglehold over the information
reaching their people.
There’s nothing illegal or intrinsically
wrong in limiting what can and cannot
be said. Somewhere in this great
nation sits an attorney with shelf
after shelf of papers and books on
American libel law, on what the
First Amendment will protect and
what it won’t and thousands of
cases to back up his arguments.
But, there’s a huge difference
between a tort case for misquoting someone and sentencing a
human being to death because
they printed and disseminated
information viewed questionable
by those in power.
The limiting of criticism
aimed at the current social order
hurts each and every person
around the globe. As much as
this nation goes on the offensive
against terrorism, Kambakhsh’s
case stands as a glaring example
of just how far the U.S. is willing
to go in battling terrorism.
When the war in Afghanistan
started, President Bush pushed
the necessity for war beyond the
rage most hearts felt watching
the Word Trade Centers fall. He
harped on the humanitarian
crisis in Afghanistan. He spoke at length of the
Taliban and their inhumane
treatment of women and non-Muslims. He
pulled on naïve heartstrings with notes
ringing of injustice and inequalities not
seen in any American’s lifetime. Bush convinced the American people that there was
much more than revenge in his plans; there
was the hope of a new Afghanistan, free
from the Taliban and its radical clerics.
Kambakhsh’s ordeal is a textbook case
of the humanitarian crisis still affecting
the north of Afghanistan. It certainly
smells something awful of injustice and a
system blinded by zealots. And it carries
with it the overpowering taste of making
an example of Kambakhsh, trying to frighten any would-be imitators and distributors
of free thought.
Moments like these can make even the
staunchest of war critics see that there are
still places in this world that are not free,
places where political bullies hold their
thumbs over the pulse of every citizen,
places where American influence could
bring growth where there was decay.
Conversely, moments like these show
disparity between what American leaders
could accomplish and what they will accomplish. Afghanistan’s President, Hamid
Karzai, has his position in great part
because of the efforts by American leaders.
Now it’s time for Karzai to look at the
money he’s accepting in aide from America
and remember what that country stands
for.
That, or it’s time for a high-ranking U.S.
official to tighten the economic screws until Kambakhsh is released and the remaining 32 million Afghans are free to write,
speak and publish without the fear of being
murdered.
Voting: Not just for your elders anymore
A
pathy among young voters has
long been an issue in elections.
Candidates don’t focus on issues
that affect the 18 to 30 demographic
because they historically do not come out
to the polls. Eighteen to 30 year olds don’t
vote because the candidates don’t address
the issues important to them.
This never-ending circle seemed like
it would always be a staple of elections.
However, recent studies are showing that
the youth vote is growing stronger
and people are coming out to make their
voices heard.
In Duval County alone, there are more
than 118,000 voters between the age of
18 and 30. In the recent Florida primary
there was a 13 percent increase of voters aged 18 to 30 from 2004. Iowa also
saw an increase of 13 percent and New
Hampshire numbers were up 15 percent.
Overall, the United States has seen an
approximate increase of 47 percent in voters 18 to 30.
No one has a specific answer as to why
youth are so much more motivated this
time around to vote, but it appears that
candidates and media outlets are reaching
out to young voters like never before.
Republican Mike Huckabee enlists
college-favorite Chuck Norris to come
along on the campaign trail. Democrat
Barack Obama is shaking it to the latest
Beyonce song on Ellen Degeneres’ talk
show. “Ugly Betty” star America Ferrera
sports a Hilary Clinton t-shirt during a
shopping spree on Rodeo Drive. P. Diddy
even threatens death in his “Vote or Die”
campaign.
CNN broadcast the first-ever YouTube
debates, a forum most college kids spend
hours on weekly. The social-networking
site, Facebook, also hosted a debate and
makes links available on their website
for voter registration. Locally, both Mitt
Romney and Rudy Guliani have come to
campus to campaign, and a mock convention for high school students was held at
the University Center to educate them on
the democratic process.
People have sacrificed their lives,
money, pain and punishment to have the
right to vote and it is important that all
Americans exercise the right to choose
the nations leaders.
Young people and candidates alike are
beginning to realize that they are a large
portion of the voting population and their
voices need to be heard if they want to
change the world around them. The increase in voter turnout is
an awesome step to equality among races,
ages, and gender in this country and those
who choose to vote should be proud of
themselves and their ability to change
the nation.

‘University of No Fun’ was a blast
W
ith graduation looming just
around the corner, I find myself
feeling so many different things.
For all of you out there that have postUNF on the mind, I am right there with
you. It scares me to think that this is the
last semester of traditional college life I
will ever live.
I am in my last semester of getting
to school an hour early just to circle the
parking garage a couple dozen times
until a spot opens up.
My last trip to Outtakes, where I wait
15 minutes for a pack of peanut butter
crackers.
My last trip to parking services in
attempt to appeal my un-just parking
tickets.
My last courtyard break between
classes to catch up with the sisters and
friends that have made my college experience what it is.
I’m going to miss this place.
On May 2, 2008, tassel in place and diploma in hand – I will be walking across
that stage and on to the rest of my life.
This is mind blowing to me. School

begins in pre-school at age four and depending on how far you go, can reach into
your 20s and above.
My 13 years of pencils, trigonometry
tests, night classes, group projects and
favorite teachers is coming to a sad end.
Let’s give the “University of No Fun”
or even better, “U Never Finish,” a break.
When I think of everything it’s given
back to me, it’s all well worth the frustrating people at financial aid and the
over-abundance of designated spots.
I am 21 years old,
graduating college
in three months and
I have the drive to
explore. There is
no better time
than now.
Everyone at this university has the
choice to be here and attend classes
every day.
I think of my friends. Those that are
graduating in the spring with me are feeling the same jitters, and those who have
more schooling in their future here at
UNF can push their graduation worries
aside for now. What will I do without my
friends? One is off to Colorado, another
couple to New York, and then there are
those who just want to go home, wherever
that may be.
With college almost behind me, I am
yearning for something beyond Florida’s
state lines. I want adventure and to live
my life facing forward, in the present, not
the past.
I am 21 years old, graduating college
in three months and I have the drive to
explore. There is no better time than now.
In the meantime, I’m going to enjoy
those lines at Outtakes and laugh it off
when the second car in a row cuts me off
for that prime parking spot.
It’s my time to enjoy college for the
last time. For all you with senioritis, try
and take the time to enjoy it, too. You
would be unfair to yourself if you didn’t
embrace what time you have left in a
place that has opened so many doors to
your future.
Thank you UNF – for teaching me, for
being patient with me and most
importantly, for the memories.

February is the time to take health to heart
T
he lifestyles many young Americans
live make it no surprise heart disease is the No. 1 killer in the United
States.
There are several ways to decrease
your risk of heart disease; however, few
college students are currently taking
these measures.
Although your risk of heart disease
increases with age, young sufferers are
not uncommon. Prevention should start
at a young age, even though the threat
might not seem imminent at the time.
It might take determination for some,
but the effects are well worth the effort.
It can be a matter of life and death.
While uncontrolled risk factors such
as age, gender, heredity and race exist,
controlled risk factors are what you
want to make an effort to change. This
will help lead to prevention of heart
disease down the road.
Controlled risk factors include blood
pressure, cholesterol, smoking

and obesity. Taking birth control pills,
as well as the use of alcohol and illegal
drugs, increases your risk. The three key
factors in prevention are a healthy diet,
being physically active and choosing not
to smoke.
If you smoke, quit. You are in control
of your choices. Diet and exercise are
important in controlling cholesterol.
Watch your salt intake to help control
blood pressure. Physical activity reduces
blood pressure and cholesterol, while
obesity increases your risk for high
blood pressure and cholesterol.
Incorporating healthy eating and
physical activity into your daily routine
in small ways helps to make the changes
become part of your continued lifestyle. Make an effort to walk a little extra or
play tennis with a friend instead of
watching TV.
Try to cook at home instead of eating out; you’ll save money this way too.
When you cook at home, look for substitutions or ways to cut back to make
recipes healthier.
Read nutrition labels carefully at
the grocery store to compare items. You
can also look for the American Heart
Association’s check mark for an easy
way to determine heart-healthy foods.
Stress is also a risk factor in heart
disease. Too much stress can cause negative lifestyle choices, as well as increase
the risk of high blood pressure.
Busy is not better. Make sure not to
take on so much you don’t have time to
relax.
Close friends provide great social
support, which helps relieve stress too.
When hard times come, they can help
you through. Your perception of the
event is also important. Experts say
positive attitudes will help you stay
healthy.
February is American Heart Month.
Take this time to assess your risk factors
and commit to making some lifestyle
changes. Learn the signs of heart disease so you can be prepared.
The cost of cardiovascular disease in
the United States is estimated to be over
400 billion. Lifestyle choices make all the
difference, why not be proactive and
prepared. Not only will you be living a
healthier life, but you will feel better too. E-mail Lori Bero at

Iraq War coverage must continue, journalists’ deaths should not
D
Student
ear Mr. Anderson Cooper,
Is risking your life one of the
qualifications of being a journalist?
If so, then all journalists covering the
war in Iraq deserve to be highly rewarded.
Their lives are at stake with every breath
they take. The only weapons they own are
words – non-bulletproof words.
Journalists here in the United States are
covering Britney Spears, but who is covering the journalists in Iraq? There has to be
a way we can protect our resources from the
dangers they endure.
There must be a way.
I have recently researched the safety
precautions journalists go through before they enter war zones. I have found
that many media companies such as ABC
news, NBC news and Fox news send their
journalists to specialized war training
classes. Firms such as Centurion Risk
Assessment Services and AKE Integrated
Risk Solutions demonstrate basic survival
skills – how to differentiate the types of firearms used in the war, how to take cover during gunfire, and better first aid skills – and
raise journalists’ awareness of the different
dangers they may face.
Even though the two firms are two of the
best, the class is only a week long. This does
not seem like enough time to learn proper
skills to protect one’s life. Even Centurion’s
mission statement represents my belief:
“Danger knows no frontier, and press cards
do not stop bullets. Even with the best of
training, journalists can become
casualties.”
Centurion’s Hostile Environment and
Opinion
Major Stevenson
Freshman, English
Emergency First Aid Training takes place
every week in the United Kingdom and once
a month in the United States. Their courses
are designed to help reduce dangers for
those who live or work in volatile regions.
The course includes discussions and
practical exercises on mines and booby
traps, weapons and ballistics, emergency
navigation, first aid, and kidnapping. With
the best of training we can still be caught
defenseless.
In February 2002, an American journalist, Daniel Pearl, was murdered in Karachi,
Pakistan. It was in Jan. 2002 that Pearl
was kidnapped on his way to an interview
with a terrorist leader. It was Feb. 21, 2002
that a video titled “The Slaughter of the
Spy-Journalist, the Jew Daniel Pearl” was
released. It showed the mutilated body
of Pearl and lasted three minutes and
36 seconds.
In March 2007, Khalid Sheikh
Mohammed boasted that he personally beheaded Pearl: “I decapitated with
my blessed right hand the head of the
American Jew, Daniel Pearl, in the city
of Karachi, Pakistan.” He added, “For
those who would like to confirm, there are
pictures of me on the Internet holding his
head.”
Lionel Beehner, a staff writer for the
Council on Foreign Relations wrote, “Iraq is
the most dangerous conflict for journalists
since the Vietnam War. More than 70 reporters and media assistants have been killed
since March 2003 – some by crossfire, others
targeted by insurgents.”
Doesn’t that bother you, Mr. Cooper? Executive Director of the Committee to
Protect Journalists Ann Cooper said, “The
most important thing for journalists covering conflict is to take very seriously their
personal security.”
How is that possible when they are being
targeted? Tragedy strikes unexpectedly. The unbearable pain of losing an innocent loved one does not have to be felt. Yes,
it is journalists’ job to gather information,
but their lives should not be the final price.
The unnecessary loss of life does not
have to continue anymore. Hasn’t there
been enough bloodshed in the world
already?
Sincerely,
A concerned future journalist

Plants thrive in small spaces
Movies
By Lori Bero
Staff Writer
Growing your own food can
save money and even relieve
stress, but just because college
students don’t have space doesn’t
mean that growing plants for sustenance is impossible.
For college students who are often working with a small amount
of space, potted plants are a good
way to go, said Graylin Chastang,
horticulturist at Earthworks
Garden Center.
“Herbs are great small space
plants and there are all different
types,” Chastang said.
When growing vegetables,
dwarf varieties are best because
they can easily grow and be maintained in a pot, says Chastang.
“You don’t need a lot of space
to make it (the vegetables) look
like something,” Chastang said.
Junior nutrition major
Mallory Foster grows aloe, cactuses, green peppers, kale, oregano, rosemary, cantaloupe and
tomatoes at her apartment.
“I decided to start growing
stuff when I moved out of the
dorms because now I have a small
yard,” Foster said. “It really
doesn’t take too much work; the
biggest thing is sometimes when
they grow too big I have to repot
them.”
Two factors in gardening are
making sure the plants get the
correct amount of sunlight and
water.
Different plants require different amounts of sunlight and it is
imperative to position the plants
where they will get the right
amount of sunlight, remember,
the sun changes throughout the
seasons, Chastang said.

up-and-coming flicks.

The Brave One - Feb. 5
Revenge is the best medicine for Jodie Foster in
this thriller.
Starring Academy Awardwinning actor Tom Hanks, the
film has become a household
name since its release.
The simplicity of the title
character fused with his fictional influence in popular culture
make this movie an instantly entertaining classic.
Now, not only can the general
public name more than 50 types
of shrimp, but there might never
again be a time when Gary Sinise
is an amputee.
The Shawshank Redemption
Stephen
King’s
novella,
“Rita Hayworth and Shawshank
Redemption,” was the inspiration for this unforgettable classic.
It changed the way some view
life in the penitentiary with its
portrayals of inmate relations
and the borderline of corruption the characters continuously
straddle.
Though it did not do well upon
its theatrical release, the film is
considered a favorite of many.
The film is also another reason why everybody loves Morgan
Freeman.

you have and where it is to grow
well,” Chastang said.
When watering, make sure the
pot is saturated. Water running
out the bottom doesn’t mean it is
saturated. Watering is a learning
curve. If the plant starts wilting,
you know it needs water, he said.
“With a vegetable or herb, you
do not want it to dry out,” said
Chastang. “It should be evenly
moist, but not constantly wet.”
Senior nutrition major Katelin
Lier also grows her own food.
Right now she is growing tomatoes, green bell peppers, spinach,
pineapples and avocados.
“I figured why not grow your
own food instead of having to buy
it all the time,” Lier said.
Plant nurseries will help to
determine when to grow certain
plants. The tags in plants also list
the required temperatures.
Chastang suggests waiting
until March before planting anything in the ground to avoid cold
weather, or if using pots, bring
them to a protected area when the
temperature drops.

Fitness how-to: attain tight abs
Step 1
The key to slimming down and losing
that gut is cardiovascular exercise, said Sean
Sand, a certified personal trainer and gym
manager.
This means getting involved in activities like running, biking, basketball, swimming and tennis. These activities are good
because they force you to keep your heart
rate up, which burns calories, he said.
But don’t be too quick to cut out traditional abdominal exercises. Regular abdominal exercises are a great way to strengthen
and shape your midsection while you work
on burning away that gut, Sand said.
Compiled by Clayton Bush.
Step 2
Ab Basics
• Abdominals don’t require a lot of time,
but do require a constant effort about five
days a week.
• A good abdominal workout rarely requires
equipment. You can get great results using
nothing but your dorm room floor.
• The key to abdominal workouts is doing
a variety of different exercises designed to
work your entire core. Exercise abs from a
variety of different angles.
Bicycle exercise
Step 3
1. Lie face up on the floor and lace your
fingers behind your head. Bring your knees
in toward your chest and lift your shoulder
blades off the ground without pulling on
your neck.
2. Straighten your left leg out to about a 45degree angle while simultaneously turning
your upper body to the right, bringing your
left elbow toward your right knee.

Award season back on track with Grammys
By Gaia Bonini
Contributing writer
Award season heats up Feb.
10 with the 50th annual Grammy
Awards, which airs live on CBS
from the Staples Center in Los
Angeles.
The Grammys are considered
the highest musical honor and
are presented by the National
Academy of Recording Arts and
Sciences each year to artists with
outstanding achievements in
the record industry. In short, the
Grammys are to music what the
Oscars are to film.
This year’s Grammys promise
an exciting affair with performances from Beyonce, the Foo
Fighters, Carrie Underwood,
Aretha Franklin and Mary
J. Blige, as well as nominees
Rihanna, Feist, Alicia Keys and
Brad Paisley.
Nominees for Best
Compilation Sound Track Album
For Motion Picture, the casts of
LOVE by Cirque du Soleil and
Across the Universe will join
together for a Beatles segment.
While this year’s show looks
promising, the fate of the glitz
and glamour usually associated
with the Grammys lies largely in
the hands of the Writer’s Guild
of America strike. Many award
shows so far this season have
been extremely toned down due
to the strike.
The producers of the
Grammys have placed a request
with the guild asking striking
writers to work on the show. The
guild has not yet released its
decision.

Impress with thrifty finds
By Alissa LaGesse
Assistant Features Editor
Some think only the highfashion worlds of New York City
and London house the “weird,
modern fashions” one sees Bjork
wearing. But in a competition of
the strange, 5th Avenue designers pose no rival to the items
dropped off at the local thrift
stores.
Goodwill
Goodwill is a thrift store
where all items are donated, and
thus, the company is usually not
selective as to what it puts on its
shelves. Though small in size
when compared to most thrift
stores, the Beach Blvd. Goodwill
has plenty to offer.
A very popular item seems
to be the “Mormon Tabernacle
Choir” vinyl record, since the
store only had one copy left during a recent visit.
Goodwill also had plenty of
CDs, including the “Seabiscuit
motion picture sound track”
and “John Denver’s Greatest
Hits.” Its VHS selection was
quite extensive with copies of
“Liar, Liar” and “Blue’s Clues,”
along with “The Color Purple”
and many Tae Bo instructional
videos.
In the book area, Tom Clancy
novels rest alongside a Holy
Bible or two.
No store beats Goodwill’s
prices and color-coded clothing
selection.
It has an array of ladies’
two-piece dress suits for $8 per
set, as well as multiple pairs of
Lee jeans, most for less than $10.
Its shoe selection consisted of
many pairs of BCBG heels in
every imaginable color, including
orange, white and red.
Plato’s Closet
Plato’s Closet is a chain of
second-hand shops that has a
very strict policy on the items
it accepts and provides cash
compensation in exchange for
items, as opposed to Goodwill’s
“anything goes” policy.
The age of each item is also
a factor in its price. Plato’s will
only take items that appeal to
high school and college-age
women, and the clothing must be
“in style.”
For example, a polo from
Hollister Co. may have an
Manufacturer Suggested Retail
Price of $20. If someone purchases the polo, wears it for a while,
then takes it to Plato’s Closet, the
store may pay the person $8 for
the polo. Then the store is able
to sell it for $11, a significantly
lower price than retail, with the
mere attachment of the item of
being “pre-worn.”
Plato’s sells items such as
Steve Madden wedges, Converse
and Gap shoes for around $12.
It has a large selection of
dresses – casual and formal –
from $9-$22, as well as an extensive selection of jeans with such
brands as Banana Republic, $22,
and Levi’s, $14.

Horoscopes by Lasha Seniuk
Business routines will
require careful planning
over the next few days. For
many Aries natives new
assignments or revised instructions will soon take
precedence. Listen closely
March 21 - April 20 to the needs or opinions of
authority figures: minor
errors or vague requests
may cause unnecessary tensions between
colleagues. After mid-week a past relationship may reappear and demand completion.
Emotional doubts need to be answered: ask
for a clear statement of affection and all
will be well.
Financial promises or rare
money proposals may now
trigger vital decisions.
Areas affected are private
business ventures, ownership, legal records or property agreements. By late
April 21 - May 20 February, however, all will
work in your favor: stay
balanced and gently probe
for detailed answers. Tuesday through
Friday accents renewed romantic promises and complex social triangles. Choose
trusted relationships over new flirtations:
emotional risks will not work to your advantage.

family relations. Loved
ones are now highly motivated to offer their wisdom
concerning
emotionally
draining triangles. Remain
patient and accept all comMay 21 - June 21
ments as constructive:
genuine affection is the underlying motive. Late Thursday pay close
attention to the comments or new instructions of authority figures. Job promotions
and important work assignments will soon
bring valuable opportunities: stay alert.
Authority figures will now
respond positively to creative suggestions. After
Tuesday present controversial ideas for business
growth or job reassignment and watch for steady
progress. Fast progress
June 22 - July 22
is likely: don’t hold back.
Later this week someone
close may wish to explore a new level of
emotional or physical intimacy. Be receptive: this is an excellent time to rekindle
lost romance, ask for renewed promises or
challenge outdated patterns in long-term
relationship.
Family gatherings will this
week provide new opportunities for inclusion. For
many Leos isolated or distrustful relatives will now
opt for emotional progress,
shared home plans or renewed social acceptance.
July 23 - Aug. 22
Respond with gentle acknowledgement: new habits and improved attitudes are best slowly
explored. Late Friday study the minor comments or hints of key officials for obvious
financial signals. New payment schedules
or revised daily routines may soon be announced.
Yesterday’s social or family decisions will now be
proven accurate. After

to offer insights into their

cuss all complex issues
and allow extra time for
emotional expression. Wednesday through
Saturday highlights unique business or financial opportunities in the areas of new
technologies, communications or management. Respond quickly: added training will
be needed.
Managers and colleagues
are this week quick to
criticize small mistakes.
Take none of it personally,
however, and expect ongoing workplace tensions or
power struggles to soon be
resolved. After Tuesday a

new or controversial business strategy. Avoid public gossip: tempers
may be high. After Friday loved ones may
propose unique travel ventures, leisure
activities or social events. Go slow: extra
spending may be a strong concern.
Romantic attraction is
now unavoidable. New colleagues or friends may this
week offer coy flirtations
and seductive invitations.
If so, stay calm: in the coming weeks social complications and romantic trianOct. 24 - Nov. 22

Ask for added time, closely examine all consequences and, until
February 18th, avoid new promises. After
Friday some Scorpios may experience a
powerful wave of nostalgia. Remain open:
private contemplation will prove helpful.
Early this week a younger
relative may ask for emotional support. Educational
planning, job creation or
lifestyle choices may all be
accented. Offer concrete
suggestions and expect
practical duties, regulaNov. 23 - Dec. 21
tions and official requirements to help clarify
difficult decisions. Late Thursday some
Sagittarians will encounter a rare moodiness or social restlessness from loved ones.
Friends and relatives will soon reveal a
complex need for lasting change: be receptive.
Workplace gossip and romantic speculation are
now best avoided. For
Capricorns born between
1972 and 1984 misinformation will this week lead
to strained business relations. Close colleagues will

expect loyalty and continuing support. If so, rely
on past promises or shared agreements
and all will work to your advantage. After
Thursday pay attention to the needs of
older relatives or isolated friends. Private
doubts need to be actively dispelled: don’t
hold back.
Long-term
relationships
will this week experience
a brief but intense phase
of questioning and social
discussion. After Tuesday
expect loved ones to ask
for more time, consideration or patience. Set firm

boundaries and watch for
honest reactions: your
emotional cues will be respected. Late this
weekend a business partner or work associate may demand detailed paperwork or
renewed agreements. Both will lead to bold
new challenges: remain optimistic.
Before next week emotional intimacy and
rekindled sensuality will
help move key relationships forward. Passionate
encounters and seduction
are now a vital theme.
Many Pisceans will soon redefine the romantic attachments in their lives. If so,
Feb. 19 - March 20
expect fast proposals and
renewed
commitments:
this is an excellent time to end outdated
patterns. Thursday through Sunday rest
and spend extra time with isolated friends
or relatives: your attention and guidance
are needed.

Question 1: How do you feel Eli Manning’s Super Bowl MVP performance will impact the rest of his career?
He will now be known as
Peyton’s Super Bowl-winning
little brother.
He will no longer be known as
Archie’s son and Peyton’s brother.
He out-performed his brother on
the biggest stage and proved to
the world he can play QB in the
NFL.
He’s young so it’s hard to tell. At
least he’s standing eye-to-eye
with Peyton as far as winning the
big one goes.
Now that he’s proved he’s a
capable QB he can stop making that stupid confused face
everytime he does something
well.
Back to New England, hopefully.
Home to have some cheese
with their whine.
Question 2: Where do the Patriots go from here?
Back to the burnt-out shell
that is Boston after a healthy
dose of post-loss rioting.
Stop cheating and start facing
reality; Patriots, you could never
be the ’72 Dolphins.
Question 3: What were your impressions of this year’s Super Bowl commercials?
The image of Will Ferrell in
short-shorts scarred my retinae,
so I missed quite a few.
If you have a
question for the
members of the
Huddle or want to give
answers, e-mail the

Mediocre. Although, I did enjoy
the Bud Light commercial with
the crazy foreigners.
Some were good, most were bad.
Bud Light’s commercials have
become as watered down and
uninteresting as their product.
Eh, a huge uspet just like the
game.
Question 4: Feb. 6 is National Signing Day, where high school football recruits decide on their college of choice. If
you were a coveted football recruit, how would you handle the recruiting process?
I’d ask for some ridiculous
signing incentives. I want a
private dorm room, a 72-inch
plasma screen and a minihorse.
It’s getting out of hand and
coaches are going too far to
bring in big-name recruits. Urban
Meyer, I’m talking to you. I
would sign with anyone but UF.
I would hire seven imposters to
show up with me, sign with eight
different teams and tell each university’s boosters to convince me
that I signed their contract.
I’d pick the school with the
prettiest colors and cutest
mascot.

Increased performance not enough;
Ospreys suffer 20th loss of season
By Ryan Clarke
Contributing Writer
“
“Chris Timberlake
was absolutely
outstanding and
played the way
a senior should
play.”
Matt Kilcullen,
Men’s head basketball coach
play,” Kilcullen said.
Timberlake netted many 3-pointers, even
one with 55 seconds to go to tie the game at 69
points.
However, Campbell’s Jonathan Rodriguez,
who led the Camels with 20 points, had what
would have been the game winning lay-up rejected by Stan Januska, and 19 seconds later,
saw Junard Harley miss another lay-in, giving
UNF the ball with 15 seconds remaining.
Despite shooting 50 percent from the field
, the Ospreys went two of seven in the extra
period, while Campbell went two of six.
The Camels also went to the free-throw line
six times, converting on all but one attempt.
In the span of the 45-minute game, they went
to the charity stripe 46 times.
The Ospreys set a couple of records Feb. 2 ,
as they eclipsed the 70 point mark for the first
time in almost 40 games and recorded a program best 10 blocks, with four of them coming
from freshman forward Kyle Groothuis.
The Ospreys hit the road for two games
when they take on Lipscomb Feb. 7 and defending conference champion Belmont Feb. 9.
The last time the Ospreys won against a
Division I opponent was against Lipscomb
last year at home.

For the 19th and 20th time this season, the
Ospreys lost as Gardner-Webb and Campbell
dished out a pair of defeats.
During the Jan. 31 game, 20 missed freethrows against GWU led to their 14 point, 7561 win. UNF has been ranked one of the worst
free-throw shooting teams in the country,
ranking 334 out of the 341 Bowl Subdivision
Series teams.
“Maybe we’re just trying too hard,” said
head coach Matt Kilcullen.
Senior point guard Chris Timberlake, junior guard Tom Hammonds and sophomore
guard Stan Januska all scored 12 points each,
and were able outscore Gardner-Webb’s reserves 22-14.
“We had extra opportunities and couldn’t
cash in. You have to cash in on opportunities
when they’re presented to you,” Kilcullen
said.
Although the Ospreys lost the game, the
team’s shooting percentage ended at 53.4 percent, the second-highest single-game total
since they began their transition to the BSS
level.
While Chris Timberlake was relegated
from starting point guard, a post he’s held for
almost his entire four-year career at UNF, to
reserve status, he said he is in no way ready
to settle for a slumping end to his time at UNF.
Timberlake scored a career high of 29 points
to Campbell Feb. 2.
“I’m not mad that I’m coming off the
bench,” Timberlake said. “It’s taken some
time to get used to.”
The Ospreys took on Campbell’s post players, outscoring them in the paint 42-22, but junior guard Cortez Riley and Timberlake each
missed on a pair of drives in the overtime period. The Ospreys lost by four
points, 78-74.
The 29 points scored by Timberlake accounted for all of the points scored by the
Ospreys bench, as the senior went 10-15 from
the field, went six for nine from the free-throw
line and went 3-7 from behind the arc.
“Chris Timberlake was absolutely outstanding and played the way a senior should
Senior center James Grimball (21) attempts a free-throw during the Jan. 31 game against GardnerWebb University. The Ospreys fell 75-61 to GWU despite an increased 53.4 percent shooting average. Campbell University also defeated the Ospreys 78-74 Feb. 2, giving the Ospreys a 1-20 record.

Eli emerges from Peyton’s shadow
Thompson joins All-Atlantic
Sun Conference
Women’s Basketball
By Todd Archer
The Dallas Morning News
Just three weeks ago the
New York Giants walked out of
Texas Stadium having beaten
the Cowboys, ruining what had
been a record-setting season.
On Sunday, the Giants became Super Bowl champions.
In one of the biggest upsets in
NFL history, the Giants stopped
the New England Patriots’ supposed march to history with
a 17-14 victory in Super Bowl
XLII at University of Phoenix
Stadium.
“It’s
unbelievable,”
said
quarterback Eli Manning, who
was the game’s Most Valuable
Player a year after his older
brother, Peyton, won the same
honor in Indianapolis’ win in
Super Bowl XLI . “It’s the fight
on this team. I’m so proud of
our players, our coaches, everybody. We’re always believing
and having faith in each other.
We believed the whole time and
made it happen.”
This was supposed to be the
coronation of the Patriots. They
became the first team in NFL
history to go through a 16-game
regular season unbeaten and
stood within seconds of joining
the 1972 Miami Dolphins as the
only undefeated teams of the
Super Bowl era.
“They would never go away,”
said Patriots defensive end
Richard Seymour, a veteran of
New England’s three previous
Super Bowl winners. “That’s
a sign of a champion. It takes
heart.”
The Patriots were 2:45 away
from making history after Tom
Brady connected with receiver
Randy Moss for a 6-yard touchdown and a 14-10 lead.
Just like Super Bowls XXXVI,
XXXVIII and XXXIX, the Patriots
were in position for a close
victory.
They didn’t know that the
Giants, who found their heartbeat in the regular-season finale
loss to these Patriots on Dec. 29,
had stolen their magic.
Waiting as long as he could in
his team’s preparation, Giants
coach Tom Coughlin spoke
Saturday night about the Giants’
win in Super Bowl XXV on Jan.
27, 1991, when he was a receivers coach for Bill Parcells.
A heavy underdog to Buffalo,
the Giants were able to win the
franchise’s second Super Bowl
when Bills kicker
Scott Norwood’s 47-yard field
goal attempt sailed wide right.
“When you realize you’re
the world champion other than
your family and your children,
there is no comparison to the
feeling,” Coughlin told his team.
“You could walk around six-feet
high and it would be appropriate.”
Taking the field with 2:42 to
play and knowing they needed
a touchdown to win, the Giants
felt destiny was at hand as
it had been throughout their
playoff ride. That ride started
with a win at Tampa Bay, then
against the Cowboys, whom
they lost to twice in the regular
season, and finally in the NFC
Championship Game at Green
Bay.
Manning, previously burdened by the expectations of
being the No. 1 overall pick in
2004, etched his name in Super
Bowl lore with a drive that saw
him complete 5-of-9 passes for
77 yards, none more miraculous
than a 32-yard heave to David
Tyree to the New England 24.
On that play, Manning somehow broke free from several
defenders, rolled to his left and
floated a ball down the middle
of the field that Tyree, who had
four catches all season, was
able to hang on to despite safety
Rodney Harrison’s best effort to
pry the ball free.
Manning made good on one
more third-down pass to push
the ball to the Patriots’ 13 and
needed just one play to erase
any remaining doubts about his
game. On that play, he lofted a
floater to Plaxico Burress, who
beat DeSoto’s Ellis Hobbs in the
corner of the end zone.
“I looked the ball all the way
in to make sure I came down
with it,” Burress said.
Still, 35 seconds remained
for Patriots quarterback Tom
Brady to deliver. He nearly did,
but the Giants’ Corey Webster
was able to get his fingertips on
a deep pass thrown to Moss at
the New York 20.
After a fourth-down throw to
Moss fell incomplete, one second remained on the clock, but
before that ticked away, Patriots
coach Bill Belichick had already
hugged Coughlin, his friend and
one-time fellow assistant coach,
and made his way off the field.
History was made Sunday,
just not the history that was expected.
“The best part of it for me
is the idea that this group of
young men who came together
and believed in themselves
bought the team concept completely,” Coughlin said. “Took
the names off the back of the
jerseys, checked the egos at
the door. The reinforcement for
team is the greatest source of
satisfaction for me.”
