Fraternity hosts relief concert
All money

Red Cross
By LINDSAYTAULBEE
Alligator Writer
More than 100 UF students
munched pizza, swatted no-
see-ums and turned out their
pockets for charity Sunday
,evening, all to the rhythms of
Fort Lauderdale-based band
First Glance.
Members of Sigma Pi
Fraternity, who hosted the
concert, carried buckets as they
meandered through the crowd
on the Reitz Union North
Law n, collecting bills and spare
change to benefit tsunami vic-
tim;.
"It seemed like something
the student body could enjoy.
It seemed fun," said Sigma Pi
rush chairman Gabriel Lopez-
Bernal.
The fraternity collected more
than $270 in under two hours,
all of which will go to the
International Committee of the
Red Cross.

Access pushes to fulfill goals
By BRIDGET CAREY and
STEPHEN MAGRUDER
Alligator Writers
With two months left until
Spring elections, Access Party
leaders are shifting efforts into
high gear to accomplish campaign
promises before the term runs
out.
Since May, the party has domi-
nated Student Government and
delivered on 14 out of 40 plat-
form promises, with nine others
in progress toward completion.
If successful with all 23, it would
mean Access will have carried out
slightly more than 50 percent of
their goals.
"We only put things on our
platform that we believe we can
accomplish, that we can take mea-
surable steps toward," said Andre
Samuels, adviser to Student Body
President Jamal Sowell. "We ac-
complished more in our one term
than any other party in the last
three to four terms."
Expanding wireless Internet
around campus, adding an extra
Student Nighttime Auxiliary
Patrol (SNAP) van and starting the
Chomp the Vote registration drive
are some of the Access Party's ac-
complishments from its platform
as submitted in Spring 2004.
And its Fall semester goal to
fight block tuition has embroiled
the party in a bruising battle.
Block tuition, which would
charge all students for 15 credits
regardless of the number of ac-
tual credit hours taken, is being
advocated by
Student the Board of
Government Trustees, UF's
top governing
body, and the statewide Board of
Governors.
"We're opposing all forms of
block tuition," Sowell said.
UF is the only school whose
students formally have opposed
the idea and sent a resolution
against it to local and state of-
ficials, Sowell said. He said he

UF students' wallets.
Paying UF's membership
fees to rejoin the Florida Student
Association, the lobbying group
representing public university
students, was another tactic de-
signed to help in the block-tuition
battle.
An expansion of wireless
Internet on and near campus
should be finished by February,
Student Body Vice President
Jennifer Puckett said.
UF's Chomp the Vote registra-
tion drive signed up more than
8,000 students for last November's
elections.
"This has been the most stc-
cessful [voter] drive in the school's
history," Sowell said.
Setting the bar high
Samuels says that some ambi-
tious programs, such as creating
an electronic database that con-
nects students with volunteer and
internship opportunities related
to their fields of study, probably
will not happen during the current
term.
The difficulty of the goal didn't
stop Access from making it a
promise to students, Samuels said.
"We didn't hesitate to put
something on our platform that
would take some time and in the
long. run would be extremely ben-
eficial to the entire student body,"
Samuels said.
-Roadblocks on the path
Many of the party's platforms
have been met with resistance at
times, Access leaders said.
Plans for the Reitz Union food
court to accept credit cards have
been difficult to pass muster with
Gator Dining Services, Samuels
said. Party officials met with
administrators in June .without
success.
The party's goal to construct
an Asian and Asian-American
culture institute and improve
buildings for the Institute of Black
Culture and La Casita was stalled
by funding and administration
obstacles. Sowell said funding for
the Asian institute probably won't
be available until 2008.
Due to funding restrictions, the
formation and maintenance of a
multicultural center would close
existing institutions such as the
IBC and La Casita.
Sowell said he felt students did
not want to lose the individual
PUBLIC SAFETY
Threats bumbled
An explosives expert he "ain't."
Following a series of seemingly novice bomb threats,
Gainesville Police arrested Alvin Bernard Barnes, 205 NW
14th St., Saturday afternoon near the Gainesville Lodge motel,
where he had been staying.
Police say Barnes, 41, made four separate bomb-threat calls
to the Alachua County Sheriff's Office after being evicted from
room No. 207 for "consistent disorderly" conduct.
Barnes apparently forgot his "lines" by the second call.
"[There is a] bomb going off at the Gainesville Sun... I
mean, Gainesville Lodge, and it ain't in room No. 207," Barnes
said, according to police reports.
Police officers later apprehended Barnes near a University
Avenue pay phone, from which he made his last phone call.
A search of hotel premises by police did not uncover any ex-
plosives.
THIRD VANDALISM SUSPECT SURRENDERS TO POLICE: A day
after the arrest of his two friends for Thursday's vandalism
spree, Alexander J. Poser, 5406 NW 88th St., hired a lawyer and
turned himself in to police Friday evening.
Under the influence of alcohol, Poser and Jeremy Weathers
Martin, both 19, and Ryan Matthew Luca, 20, took a lug wrench
and golf clubs to a number of cars, mailboxes and a $1,200
fountain along West University Avenue on Thursday morning,
police said.
Martin and Luca confessed Thursday afternoon, and al-
though police forces knew of Poser's participation in the crime,
they were unable to locate him immediately.
GPD spokesman Sgt. Keith Kameg said he hopes the vic-
tims of the more than .30 separate incidents 'are compensated
for their losses.
"This was a reckless, kind of stupid act that probably won't
warrant prison time, but I do hope that it will warrant restitu-
tion that all thece people will get paid for what they lost and
GPD will get paid for, literally, the 120 to 130 hours of time that
we had to put into this case," he said.

centers they already had.
Plans to improve parks de-
pended on the passage of the
November Better Parks Better
Roads sales-tax initiatives.
"We were really hoping that
would pass," he said. "That was
a little bit out of our hands. What
we're looking into now is private-
ly building some ofthose parks on
campus, and we're currently just
looking for sites."
A plan to have "Fireside
Chomps," similar to Franklin D.
Roosevelt's Fireside Chats, was
altered when party leaders decid-
ed not to go through with plans to
broadcast an SG update through
radio or television.
One plan in the works is to
have audio of SG updates avail-
able through the SG Web site.
In the works
The search for a spot to house
UF's 24-hour study center looks
promising, Puckett said.
SG is looking into renovating
or modifying an empty classroom
to provide an all-day escape for
students who need a place to hit
the books.
"We think we can find space
in something that already exists,"
Puckett said. "
Samuels said students "need
to understand" Access has had
"less than a month" to work on
Fall promises, such as having
biodegradable utensils available-
on campus.
"And no other party has been
close to keeping the number of
promises. that we've kept." ,he
said.

Moore hire
should not
violate law
Sust like every other person with a
political opinion, Michael Moore
has his detractors. A simple Google
arch of "Michael Moore" directs you
to a plethora of sites that allegedly
chronicle Moore's lies, misjudgments
and conspiracies. We brought Michael
Moore with the intention of sparking
debate and creating thoughtful con-
versations among UF students and the
community at large about the presi-
dential election.
David The demand
Buchalter for Moore on
Speaking Out campus was
more than obvi-
ous. After the
day of the press release, the Accent
phone lines did not stop ringing. The
speech was covered in every local
Sand regional paper and on television,
radio and Intemet news sources. With
12,000 people in attendance and others
waiting outside, the turnout could not
have been more exciting.
Accent, Student Government's
speakers bureau, has a long history
of bringing political ruckus to the UF.
From those infuriated by the decisions
of the elder President Bush in the Gulf
War to those disgusted by President
Clinton's infidelities, Accent always
earns much criticism for our choice of
speakers. Accent sFpeakers bureau will
al\ais provide an equal platform for
political rhetoric and will never shy
away from controversy.
In regard to the FEC complaint
filed, by the Arizona attorney David
T. Hardy, Accent and UF stand by the
decision to bring Michael Moore. The
General Counsel's office was consulted
on several occasions regarding specific
questions, and the university's attor-
neys confirmed our legality in bringing
all political commentary in such a heat-
ed election season, including Moore
and Gov. Pataki. As with other speak-
ers, the university supported Accent's
decisions and sought to uphold stu-
dent autonomy In return, Accent pro-
ceeded in accordance with all of the ap-
propriate guidelines applied from the
university and beyond. Accent keeps
accurate and detailed records of every
show. While cooperating with the FEC
request, and after providing copies of
our documents, we are confident it will

any federal election laws in bringing

Another simple Google search
reveals a predictable result. David

Moore and hi- antics. As his latest
book is entitled Michael Moore is a
Big Fat Stupid White Man;" Hardy

genuL hie go.od-natured attempt to level
the political playing field.
Let us not forget our First
Amendment right to free speech. I
contend that the decision to bring
Michael Moore to campus, made by
Accent and the University of Florida,
was a completely legal and ethical ac-
tion. More importantly, I am confident
Accent continues to accomplish its-
goals within the UF community.

Biased speakers equal unfair contributions
he crux of this issue is not politically
controversial, per se.
Under federal election laws, a per-
son can of course speak his or her mind as
to a candidate. A person, or university, can
also hire someone else to speak as to politics
in general. What is forbidden is to hire some-
one else to speak on behalf of or against a
candidate without reporting it as a campaign
("in kind") contribution to that candidate's
campaign.
The problem here is a number of universi-
ties spent considerable sums-my estimate is

At the very least, those must be reported--

money to hire a speaker to influence an elec-

I must confess to a certain amusement
when many who otherwise preach the ben-
efits of "campaign reform" condemn the in-
fluence of money on politics and desire com-
plete transparency of political contributions
suddenly become concerned about freedom
of expression when these principles are actu-
ally applied to them.

Editorial
Complaints
Despite controversy, UF
was right to hire Moore
Just when we started to think Michael Moore was losing
his edge, he has found a way to come kicking and scream-
ing into the forefront of electoral politics once again.
This time, Moore is at the center of an election-law battle
as FEC complaints filed against UF and other universities
allege the hiring of Moore as a speaker constituted illegal
contributions to the Kerry-Edwards campaign.
But the complaints are dubious from the outset, as their
filer, Arizona lawyer David T. Hardy, is hardly a disinterested
party. Along with Jason Clarke, he is co-author of "Michael
Moore Is A Big Fat Stupid White Man"-a book that is, to say
the least, highly critical of Moore's work.
Because of Hardy's public anti-Moore stance, it is.difficult
to see the complaint against the Accent-sponsored speech as
anything other than an attempt by Hardy to exploit the law
to punish opponents of his political beliefs.
Legally, however, the complaint may have a chance of
succeeding. It is possible UF may be found to have violated
federal election laws by paying for a speaker who was obvi-
ously going to be vocal in his support of one candidate over
the other.
But UF and Accent are standing by their decision, as they
rightfully should.
In this case, intentions-are more important than outcome.
While there could have been no doubt Moore was going to
hit Gainesville with pro-Kerry guns blazing, it is unlikely he
was hired specifically to influence student voters.
Love him or hate him, Moore is one of the most controver-
sial and visible figures in popular culture today. His speech
was an opportunity for UF students to hear firsthand from
someone who has shaped public perceptions and has made
himself into one of the world's foremost media icons.
Accent recognized this opportunity, so they jumped on it.
This is not to say they couldn't have done more to provide
a balanced slate of speakers for UF students. Someone from
the far right should have been hired, so both sides could have
had the same opportunities to incite passion from respective
supporters.
Obviously, that sort of staunchly conservative speaker
did not come.
The de-facto pro-Bush response to Michael Moore was
provided by New York Gov. George Pataki, who had origi-
nally been hired to commemorate the anniversary of the
Sept. 11 attacks. Though a knowledgeable source of infor-
mation on the attacks, Gov. Pataki is nowhere near the kind
of hard-line conservative ideologue required to. counteract
Moore's fiery rhetoric.
And while Anne Coulter and Rush Limbaugh are unlikely
to tour the university circuit any time soon, an effort to find
someone to do the job should have been made.
Regardless, hiring Michael Moore was an opportunity UF
and Accent could not ignore. To expect them to have acted
otherwise would have deprived students of a chance they
may never have had again.
And students who didn't want that chance did not have
to attend the speech.
In the end, this is an issue that transcends personal poli-
tics. Whether or not you agree with Moore's views is beside
the point.
There is no room for personal politics in law-especially
election law.

Letters to the Editor
Black history about more than activism
Editor I am extremely concerned about the
article in Thursday's Alligator about Snoop
performing during Black History Month. The
author was of the opinion Snoop was a bad
choice and didn't represent black history.
Why? Snoop is black. He has been a well-
known black entertainer for years. Does that
not make him a part of'black history and
future? It seems to me that with the fourth-
highest record sales in rap music he definitely
reaches this generation. So, why is it a very
popular black man is said to be wrong for en-
tertainment during Black History Month?
I have been under the impression history
could be a minute ago, yesterday, last year or
last decade. From what I can tell, Snoop was
around-and black-throughout these times
in history. Why must black history focus its at-
tention on slavery instead of what blacks have
accomplished since? The focus should be on
what, as a race, they are doing and which di-
rection they would like to go.
Finally, I am appalled at the suggestion
that Lauryn Hill would have been a better
choice. Why. She hasn't been popular for a
decade, while Snoop's popularity is holding
strong. But, most importantly, she is a racist.
She made a comment after her album hit it big
that she would rather starve and be on welfare
than have a white person buy her album.
So, would it be better to have a performer
who entertains all races and is at the height of
his career, or a racist has-been? I would rather
have no entertainment than Lauryn Hill.

Jury selection begins today in local murder trial
Man charged in former girlfriend's death
By MEGAN V. WINSLOW
Alligator Writer
Jury selection in the murder
trial of Ralph Fayson II is set
to begin Tuesday at 9 a.m. at
the Alachua County Criminal
Courthouse.
Fayson -is accused of killing
his former -.girlfriend, Crystal
Lachaun Grant, in May.
Six days after the the 22-year-
old SFCC student's death, an
apartment manager and mainte-
nance man discovered her badly
decomposed body in her Fox
Hollow residence.
Fresh from a community pool
party, Grant was still clad in a
swimsuit top and shorts when her
attacker stabbed her in the neck.
Fayson, 33, was the last per-
son seen with Grant before her
death on May 15, according to
witnesses.
This isn't the first time Fayson
has been linked to violence
.against women.
Between 1993 and 2003, Fayson
was charged with assault against
six different women seven dif-
ferent times. One of these cases
involved the 1994 aggravated bat-
-tery of a former girlfriend, Lanu
Perosi. Fayson was sentenced to
prison for choking Perosi and
then stabbing her in the neck with
a steak knife. The wound required
24 stitches to close, according to
police reports.
Wary of pretrial publicity, State
Attorney spokesman Spencer
Mann would not divulge details
of the case.
FBK member wants motto fulfilled
ACCESS, from page 1
bers often has happened in years past.
"It's- a first come, first served registration,"
she said. "If the students are eligible, then the
party, in fact, is approved."
Sowell said Shrine has had no affiliation
with the party. He added that this was the first
time he has seen someone use another active
political party's name since he's been at UF.
Shrine said the reason he took the Access
Party name.was not because of "dirty politics"
but because he believes his party can do a bet-
ter job of representing the ideals the original
Access Party spoke about during last Spring's
election. Those ideals include opening up SG
opportunities to all students, regardless of
Greek or FBK membership.
"It was only a few of us that did it," Shrine
said. "I believe in all the ideals of the Access
Party, and I believe in the past they haven't
followed through with them."
Shrine said he noticed Access was giving
preference to those in the Greek system and
those in FBK. But, an FBK member himself,
Shrine said the affiliation is not an issue.
"As far as (Florida) Blue Key goes, I've
never been involved in the dealings and the
politics," he said. "I've been passed over in
many positions by people who said they
don't deal."
Shrine said his newly formed Access Party
is deciding whether it will choose a student to
run for Student Body president.
What he said mattered to him was protect-
ing the original meaning of the Access Party
by owning the name and ensuring fulfillment
.of the Access motto: "Access for all students."
"I feel that more of an independent voice is
needed," he said.
Shrine said he never has directly sup-
ported any political-party in the past.
"It wasn't anything about dirty politics,"
he said. "I just feel this is a better way to go.
News of Shrine's actions surprised current
Access politicians.
"That was totally unexpected for someone
to take your name that you worked hard for
so that you wouldn't be able to use it," Sowell
said.
The president was a creator of the original
Access Party prior to his victorious election
last Spring. SG parties must re-register before
each semester's election period. It is legal for
any student to register for any party name
during the allotted time frame. This leaves
Sowell and others unable to take legal action
against Shrine for using the Access name.
"Now we're trying to strategize things to
see where we're going to go from here," he
said.
i Andre Samuels, an.
adviser to Sowell, said the
party now will have to fo-
cus on running a clean and
alh honest campaign when
other parties will be "trick-
ing the student."
"These are the begin-
Samuels nings of character assas-
sination," Samuels said.
"These are the beginnings of the truly dirti-
est politics SG used to play."
Using previously held party names, as
well as having insiders set up "dummy par-
ties so students don't know who to vote for"
are typical of SG's past, Samuels said.
As of Friday afternoon, seven parties
have applied to become a party, including
Ignite, Keg and The Gator Party.
Samuels said the reasons for these so-
called political tricks .are other parties are
not confident they can win on merit alone.
"Students don't vote if they feel that
there's, just too much dirt and too much
dishonesty going on," he said. "And that's
what they want."
NOW, from page 1
cause she already has cast a vote in sup-
port of us, and ultimately, she has no say
on whether the morning-after pill will
go over-the-counter," Mangan said.
The protesters still plan "to keep the
pressure on Steven Galson by calling
and harassing him every chance we.
get," Mangan said..
The group, who planned on passing
out morning-after pills to passersby,
only passed out two pills.
Elizabeth Hansen, Pro-Life Alliance
president, said the protest was misguid-
ed and used the wrong approach.
"The morning-after pill promotes
promiscuity," Hansen said. "This is a
free country, so there is always room for
other opinions, as long as they're legal."
Other Gainesville residents arrested
were Stephanie Seguin, Candy Churchill
and Jenny Brown.
Sunday also started Rush Week

"I know most'of us can't even imagine
the devastation that happened over there,
so keep that in mind," Lane said before the
band broke into Sublime's "Santeria."
Lopez-Bernal said the concert's pur-
pose was twofold: serving to cap off, the
Interfraternity Council's fund-raising
efforts, while simultaneously kicking off
Rush Week.
IFC's Rush Week officially began
Sunday night with a forum aimed at pro-
viding information for aspiring fraternity
members.
Though the concert was planned inde-
pendently of the forum, Lopez-Bernal said
he hoped students attending it also would
stop by the concert to listen and donate,
while getting a better idea of Sigma Pi's
objectives.
Sigma Pi member Chris Ferrante said
he hoped the concert would show frater-

Fraternity forum marks start of Spring Rush week
I s"R c """' .- ".- tl .-. v;..' i I I
Tricla Coyne, Alligatot Staff
Matt Del Pizzo and Peter Gwynn-Sackson talk with Brian Galgay and other members of Phi Kappa Tau
Fraternity at the Interfraternity Council Spring Rush Forum on the Reitz Union Colonnade Sunday. The
IFC executive board hosted a forum, which began in the Reitz Union Auditorium.
By KYLIE CRAIG
Alligator Writer
About three dozen fraternity
potentials nervously milled about
the Reitz Union Sunday in hopes of
learning more about Greek brother-
hood and the Spring Rush process.
The Interfratemity Council
Spring Rush Forum, which took
place in the Reitz Union Auditorium
and on the Colonnade, gave the
men a chance to ask questions about
the rush process as well as to meet
representatives from each of IFC's
24 fraternities.
The event began with a forum
hosted by the IFC executive board.
Crowd members learned what
fraternities have to offer in the areas
of service, academics, brotherhood,.
sportsmanship and socials.
Administrative Vice President
Jeremy Martin spoke about the per-
sonal benefits of joining a fraternity,
saying, "When people graduate,
they come out as better students,
better leaders and better citizens."
The attendees then were given
the basics on the rush process, and
Director of Greek Life Chris Bullins
emphasized the importance of ask-
ing questions and visiting as many
chapters as possible.
"Take the time to think through
this and make sure you find the
right fit," Bullins said.
Bullins also told students that the
process was as much about them se-
lecting a chapter as it was about the
chapter selecting them.
The board answered questions
about rush.
Many attendees were
Greek concerned about going
Life through the process as a
junior or transfer student
as well as about rushing for the sec-
ond time this year.
Those concerned were told re-
gardless of their classification or pre-
vious attempts at Greek member-
ship, they still would be considered.
Following the forum, students
headed outside to meet representa-
tives from each fraternity and offi-
cially begin the recruitment process.
UF freshman C.J. Thomas, 18,
said he decided to rush because it
seemed fun and that his goal is "just
to find a fraternity that has like-
minded people in it."
Brandon Dodd, recruitment
chairman for Kappa Alpha, gave a
few tips on how to have a successful
Rush Week.
"Present yourself well, and don't
be shy," Dodd said. "You are mak-
ing an impression on 80 guys (in
each chapter)."

WOMEN'S TENNIS
Incoming players to bolster talented, young team
By NATASHA WEINSTEIN
Alligator Writer
nwernstein@alligator.org
With only three upperclass-
men, the UF women's tennis team
is young. But what they lack in
age, the seven women make up
with talent and dedication.
Junior Jennifer Magley, who
is expected to have the top seed
for the start of the season, leads
the team after the loss of Alexis
Gordon.
An All-American, Magley is
joined by senior Zerene Reyes and
junior Boglarka Berecz.
"We are certainly going to rely
on those three returning players
in experience and playing ability,"
Coach Roland Thomqvist said.
The sophomore and three
freshmen that complete the team
are extremely able players with a
work ethic that will allow them to
be a top team, Thornqvist said.
He admits that the season may
be slightly up and 'wn, espe-
cially in the beginning. Thornqvist
said he enjoys the challenge of
teaching such a young team.
Though the team might not play
to its capability early on due to
lack of experience, he's confident
that ,by season's end, everyone
will be playing better.
"The new players know it's go-
ing to take hard work to get back
to that absolute elite level of play,
and even though they're young,
their greatest asset is their work
ethic," he said. "I'm hoping that
this will transition into good fin-
ishes this year."
"We have an extremely tal-
ented team and their pres-
ence on court is always
known."
Jennifer Magley
UF tennis player
Thornqvist said a strong point
for the girls is in their doubles
play. Pairs Magley and Reyes
and freshmen Whitney Benik and
Lolita Frangulyan should bring
points to the team.
"They [Magley and Reyes]
compliment each other really well,
and I'm looking forward to a great
year from them," he said. "They're
really close to having a breakout
season and doing really well."
As a leader of the team, Magley
said she is looking forward to
the challenge of being in the top
position and is excited about the
newcomers.
"We have an extremely tal-
ented team and their presence on
court'is always known," Magley
said.
She added that she believes the
three freshmen are some of the
best in their recruiting class.
"They've had a lot of experi-
ence," Magley said. "They've
played around the world. They
know what teams are about and
what it's like to be on the court."
Magley. said she's confident
that the team could go all the way
this season.
"When you play sporf6 you
should expect to win," she said.
"All you can do is go out there
and try your hardest, work your
hardest and whatever comes,
come what may."
The Gators open their .sea-
son Thursday at the National
Collegiate Classic in Las Vegas.

more frequently on offense and out-
rebounding the Razorbacks 25-17 on
the defensive glass.
After being outmuscled by the
Seminoles, -the perimeter-oriented
Gators utilized an attack-the-basket
style against Arkansas, outscoring the
Razorbacks 30-24 in the paint while
attempting a season-low 13 3-point-
shots.
-Arkansas (13-2, 1-1 SEC) threatened
UF's lead by coming within 10 points
in the last 1:17, largely due to a 14-point
second half from sophomore guard
Ronnie Brewer, who scored a game-
high 20 points.
However, Arkansas could not over-
come UF's nearly flawless second-half
shooting the Gators made 14 of 18
shots, a 77.8 percent shooting percent-
age.
"I was very proud of the way our"
team played," Donovan said. "I was
proud of the way they responded, their
resiliency and the way they looked to
get better on both ends of the floor."

3-point line.
He followed that \ ith a niftv baby-hook
on the right baseline.
" "That's what he has to do all year go
in there and take shots and be aggressive,"
said center Al Horford, who added that
Lee is UF's best player. "I'm glad he did
that because he set the tone for our team
early."
Still, Lee's biggest surprise was his con-
verted jump shots:
From Wednesday to Friday, Lee worked
with, the coaching staff to smoothen
the rough edges on his offensive game.
Donovan is embracing Lee's -newfound
vigor wholeheartedly and will do what-
ever it takes to keep Lee in that mind set.
"I told David, 'I'll do anything you want
me to do. I will yell and scream. I'll be nice.
I'll do whatever you want me to do get you
to play at the level you can play at. What
do you want me to do? Let me know,'"
Donovan said.
Whether Lee responds like this again
against Auburn is yet to be seen. But on
Saturday, he was the man with the convic-
tion and the game to bury it.
"I'm telling you, every possession, I was
living and dying today," Lee said. "I can't
tell you I had a lot of friends in town. I re-
ally wanted to show them the Gator way
of winning today. We really wanted to give
people a reason to cheer for us this SEC
season."

Host Gators finish second in Super Six Challenge
Sophomore Katie Rue vaults in UF's second-place finish in the Super Six
Challenge on Friday. She scored a 9.75 on it.
By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer.
Coming into Friday's Super
Six Challenge, UF coach Rhonda
Faehn made it clear this was a
meet that was instrumental in
giving her young team experi-
ence.
If for nothing else, Faehn
can get credit for sticking to her
guns.
By using routines that their
coach feels can win them a
championship in April, the No.
6 Gators finished second with a
team score of 194.45 in front of
an attendance of 8,119, the sec-
ond largest in school history.
"Tonight we put quite a few
new routines out there, a lot
of freshmen," Faehn said. "We
definitely tried to increase our
skill level.
"We had some really excel-
lent bright spots, but we also
had a lot of rough spots. It was
in those areas that we were at-
tempting very difficult skills."
No. 2 Georgia won the meet
with a score of 194.85.
Bulldogs coach Suzanne
Yoculan, however, admitted
that their routines were more
conservative in nature due to
the high number of freshmen
who were competing.
She also had good things to
say about the Gators following
the meet.
"They have an exceptional
team, no doubt about it," she
said. "One of the best teams I've
ever seen Florida have."
UF (4-1) had a chance to
win the meet in the final skill,
uneven'bars, but were forced to
count a fall. The Gators also had
to count a fall on floor exercise.
"I'm excited to see the
potential we can achieve.
We have some things we
need to work on still. If
we were peaking now,
we'd be in trouble in.
April."
Rhonda Faehn
UF gymnastics coach
"We knew that [we could win
on our last apparatus]," Faehn
said. ."We felt pretty confident
in our athletes that we weren't
going to have two misses on bar
dismount.
"You get anxious and it's the
first meet of the year, and there
were two newcomers, so it's all
right,"- she said. "They're just
learning."
Despite the defeat,. there
were several positives that UF
could take out of Friday night's
event.
Two Gators won individual
event titles. Breanne King took
the balance beam with a score
of 9.85 and Samantha Lutz fin-
ished first on the uneven bars
with a score of 9.875.
In addition, King finished
second in the all-around to
Alabama's Ashley Miles. Miles'
score of 39.35 outdistanced
King's 39.20.
"I got chills when I walked
out there," King said. "To have
all those people cheering for
you calmed me down a lot."
Senior Orley Szmuch also
made the podium in the all-
around, finishing sixth.
Three freshmen made debuts
for UF. Ashley Reed finished
seventh in the all-around and
was among four Gators to score
9.80 on vault, a score that yielded
a six-way tie for fourth place.
King and Savannah Evans
also garnered 9.80, as did fresh-
man Tiffany Murry. Murry
finished in a tie for fourth with
Evans in floor exercise with a
9.875.
"Obviously we're disap-
pointed," Faehn said. "We knew
that we were more than capable
of winning. But it's a learning
process, and we're going to take
from this the mistakes that we
made and improve on that for
the rest of the.season.
"I'm excited to see the po-
tential we can achieve. We have
some things we need to work
on still. If we were peaking now,
we'd be in trouble in April."

Tashia Morehead doesn't get bul-

isn't about to cut them any slack,
either.
"The guys get banged and
bruised," Morehead said. "They
come out and play hard just like
they're playing in an intramural or
regular game and they end up with
the most bruises."

All that meanm, there's no holding

girls benefit that way.
"It's always good to play against

you know, beat the guys. And we
want them to work as hard as they
can to beat us. It brings us together
as well as a team."
If the Gators need to face a full-
court press, the guys run it. If the
Gators face a post presence, Peck
will have the bigger guys Tom,
for example try to dominate in

"You don't see a lot of 6'6" big,

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
UF rallies to knock off Auburn
By MICHAEL MAURINO
Alligator Writer
mmaurino@alligator.org
Sometimes, it's not a matter of if, but when.
Looking like it was due for a loss, the UF women's
basketball team fell behind 48-42 to Auburn with less than
eight minutes remaining. Leading much of the game, it
seemed UF's lack of depth and poor shooting had finally
caught up to the Gators.
But then there were layups from forward Dalila
Eshe and senior guard Tamia Williams while forward
Bernice Mosby got to the foul line. Clutch 3-pointers from
Williams sealed the deal.
In what was their most exciting and highest-attended
game of the season, the Gators rallied to defeat Auburn
67-60.
Sunday's win follows a Gators victory at Arkansas that
kicked off Southeastern Conference play. Now at 11-4 and
2-0 in the SEC, Coach Carolyn Peck is pleased with her
team.
"My team continues to impress me and show a lot of
character," Peck said. "Trying to put together back-to-back
wins in the SEC is never an easy task."
Displaying the all-around play it had againstArkansas,
UF played its best 20 minutes in dosing the gap in the sec-
ond half.
Auburn was riding the momentum of erasing an 8-
point lead in the first, and took the lead at the 13:11 mark
of the second period.
But, Auburn got into foul trouble, putting UF in the bo-
nus halfway through the second half. As the Gators began
chipping away at the Tigers' lead, shooting 48 percent,
Mosby took a more active role, stepping up on defense
and getting to the foul line. .- ,-; ,
SAfter hitting 2 of 9 shots in the first half, Mosb shot
-. f t- *;/ -, ,-*- ^ r s '3~ ~ ". ^- -.- s- r~ 1 '- -.-f.-* c-* : .--o 7.^r
3 of 5 from the field in the second. She attributed her im-
provement to her trips to the free throw line.
"When your shots aren't.falling, you have to penetrate
to the basket and try to draw a foul," said Mosby, whp fin-
ished with 17 points and nine rebounds. "It really opened
things up for me and I gained more confidence in my shot
and everything started clicking as a team."
Also clicking was Williams. Playing in place of in-
jured guard Danielle Santos, the senior scored 22 points.
She drained four 3-pointers and none were bigger than
her two consecutive threes that put the
Gators up 58-54 with less than three
minutes less.
Williams might not have had her
chances, however, had it not been for
Eshe.
After -starting the season with
,a bum left knee, Eshe has become
Williams a defensive force under the hoop.
Patrolling the lane, Eshe had 8 points
and eight rebounds, and seemed to affect every play in
the final five minutes.
"She was one of the frontrunners to be a major con-
tributor, maybe even start for us," said Peck of Eshe
before her injury. "She has really fought and worked
her way back, and working extremely hard to definitely
contribute to this team."
The Gators' fast start and eventual rally could have
been attributed to the crowd. Numbering less than
4,000, but sounding like much more than that during the
second half, the fans in attendance made their presence
felt.
"The crowd was backing us up, the energy was flow-
ing through all our teammates," Williams said. "And it
*was great, it- felt good to.win with a big crowd.-Maybe
we can get some more fans coming.out."
IANNINGS, from page 20
Not only did the team have to get past losing Walsh,
but David Lee needed to play better than he did against
FSU for this team to go anywhere. On Saturday, Lee
looked like the player everyone expected him to be
from the start.
It's no coincidence- that this came after Coach
Billy Donovan benched Lee. They had a meeting and
Donovan told Lee what he expected.
Lee got the message.
For the next four weeks, Lee will not only have to
play like he did Saturday, but he's also going to have to
be a senior leader.
If that happens and the team plays well around him,
Walsh's loss may not be as tragic as I thought it'd be.
While Arkansas' record may have been good, it
might not have been that big a test for the Gators at
home.
That's where this weekend comes in.
The Gators will head to Nashville to face Vanderbilt,
a team that started its SEC season off hot with wins
against Tennessee and more notably, a good Alabanm
team.
The Gators will have a better idea of where they're
at after that game.
Until then, it's tough to say how UF will fare with-
,out Walsh.
But as devastating as losing Walsh is, it appears to
have given the Gators a sense of urgency. How long it
lasts is up to them. -,

what they're there to do. But society

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Gators rebound in SEC opener
By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
Dapp@alligator.org
W\-reri hi-name was announced
during pre-game introductions,
a stern stare of concentration ap-
peared on Da, id Lee's face.
By the end ot LIF s 82-74 victory
against Arkansas in its Southeastern
Conference opener, his demeanor
grew more upbeat.
As he skipped down the court
when time expired, a smile replaced
the look of stone.
And why not?
While the league schedule is
less than one week old, the Gators
- with guard Matt Walsh sidelined
for at least a month and the embar-
rassing loss to in-state rival Florida
State fresh on everyone's mind -
faced as close to a must-win game
as a team can.
And coming off his self-described
"poor pf..rfomriance." Lee led the
Gators (9-3, 1-0 SEC) to victory.
"As for our team, as far as be-
ing short-handed, I think it really
encourages us that we can beat a tre-
mendous Arkansas team," Lee said.
"I think we needed this one at home.
It's great getting a win at home
agarr..-. 13-1 ballclub, a team that I
think has a chance to win the West or
be right up there until the end."
Lee, who finished with a team-
high 17 points, seven rebourids and
five. assists; .-parkLd his team's of-
fense with a rare jump shot to begin
the game: He again exhibited his
confidence out- ide the paint. iiling
another from li t toF't the kei .. it,
just more than 10 minutes remaining
in the first half and the shot clock
expiring.
"As for our team, as faras
being short-handed, I think
it really encourages us that
we can beat a tremendous
Arkansas team."
David Lee
UF forward
"The SEC season is where the real
stuff gets taken of by the veterans,"
Lee said. "And Matt Walsh was out,
so I knew I had to take care of busi-
ness today."
Coach Billy Donovan said his
team needed to find a way to manu-
facture points in Walsh's absence.
And with all five starters scoring in
double digits, L pi F.:.' d to its coach
and spectators that it was more than
a three-trick pony.
Lee and junior guard Anthony
Roberson, who finished with 15
points and three assists on a 3 for
10 shooting performance, had their
typical scoring games, while some
underclassmen came through of-
fensively.
Fornard Corey Bre et tied his
career-high with 11 points, while
center Al Horford had 12. shooting
4 for'4 from the field. :
But perihap the gre'atket conrhi-
buhon came from the one who t.od
in for the inliUred WValh.
in hi. reciond start ot the season,
sophomore guard Let Humphrey
hit two 3-pointers during a 12-0 UF
run to give the Gators a game-high
67-40 lead with 11:47 remaining.
Humphrey followed his career-
high 15 points against FSU with 10
on Saturday while dishing out five
assists.
As the replacement, he remains
humble and grateful to Walsh for his
support and mentoring.
"Matt's been helping us out, and
he's been coaching me up on the
sideline," he said. "He's been really
good to me and the other guys, so he
gets his input still."

* THE SENIOR SCORED 17 POINTS
AGAINST ARKANSAS.
By LOUIS ANASTASIS

All that Coach Billy Donovan had to do
to get David Lee back on track was give
him an ultimatum.
After logging a forgettable 4-point, two-
rebound performance against Florida State
on Jan. 2, Donovan had a meeting with
Lee. It wasn't an emotional, motivational
speech, but rather an unveiling of the
truth, as Donovan describes it. He showed
Lee his options: continue playing half-

heartedly and get benched or step it up like
a senior and finish your season strong.
Saturday against Arkansas, Lee chose
the latter. He finished the game with 17
points on 6 of 7 shooting, seven rebounds,
five assists, two blocks and one steal.
"He had every right to call me out like
that," Lee said. "I'm a veteran. I'm a senior.
I'm a captairt of this team. If I don't pro-
duce, I need to be benched, or I need to be
called out by the media. If that's the

UF motivated without Walsh
ast week, I thought bad things
were coming for the UF men's
basketball team.
I probably wasn't the only one.
Call me a pessimist, but without
Matt Walsh, I thought this team was
going nowhere. Not after a loss to
Florida State in which the Gators
looked worse than me during my
21st birthday party this weekend.
But an impressive win against
Arkansas has changed my mind.
Arkansas may not be as good as its
13-2 record would indicate, but that
doesn't matter. Coaches and players
will tell you any conference game is
a tough game.
What fans witnessed against
Arkansas was a story of motivation.
Somehow, the Gators found it. They
looked like a totally different team
than the one that lost to FSU.
l Rob Glass, UF's former Director of
Strength and Conditioning, was hired by
Oklahoma State. He had served the Gators
since 1998.

I thought that
without Walsh,
at least the first
four weeks of
the Southeastern
Conference
schedule were
going to be filled
with losses, I'm
-not so sure any-
more.
It seems to me that losing Walsh
may have given the rest of the team
something to rally around. In no way
is losing your leading scorer a good
thing, but the Gators needed some-
thing to get them going.
It'll be interesting to see if they
can keep their energy up for the gru-
eling SEC season.

Members of Sigma Pi Fraternity, who hosted the concert, carried buckets as they meandered through the crowd on the Reitz Union North Lawn, collecting bills and spare change to benefit tsunami victims. "It seemed like something the student body could enjoy. It seemed fun," said Sigma Pi rush chairman Gabriel LopezBernal.

By JEFF SIRMONS Alligator Writer Four women representing feminist groups from Gainesville returned Saturday after getting arrested on charges of blocking the entrance to the Food and Drug Administration offices in Rockville, Md., The women, including UF Campus National Organization for Women President Kelly Mangan were among nine protestors charged with disorderly conduct by the Department of Homeland Security. "Because the FDA blocked women's access to the morning-after pill, we decided to block access to the FDA building," Mangan said. All nine arrested women are to appear in a Maryland court on an unnanounced date. If fined, Mangan said the protestors would refuse to pay. The goal of the protest, which she said boasted more than 50 supporters, was to gain an audience with Steven Galson, acting director for the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, who will make a decision on whether the morning-after pill will be available overthe-counter for women older than 16, Mangan said. Galson was not available to speak with the protesters. "If I knew 50 angry women were going to be at my doorstep, I'd decide not to be there too," Mangan said. The Washington Post reported acting FDA Deputy Commissioner Janet Woodcock would see five protestors, but they refused.

4, ALLIGATOR U MONDAY, JANUARY 10, 2005 Access pushes to fulfill goals By BRIDGET CAREY and STEPHEN MAGRUDER Alligator Writers With two months left until Spring elections, Access Party leaders are shifting efforts into high gear to accomplish campaign promises before the term runs out. Since May, the party has dominated Student Government and delivered on 14 out of 40 platform promises, with nine others* in progress toward completion. If successful with all 23, it would mean Access will have carried out slightly more than 50 percent of their goals. "We only put things on our platform that we believe we can accomplish, that we can take mea-' surable steps toward," said Andre Samuels, adviser to Student Body President Jamal Sowell. "We accomplished more in our one term than any other party in the last three to four terms." Expanding wireless Internet The Access Pa The party dominating SG my Here's what they' >pring 2004: ?

And its Fall semester goal to fight block tuition has embroiled the party in a bruising battle. Block tuition, which would charge all students for 15 credits regardless of the number of actual credit hours taken, is being advocated by Student the Board of Government Trustees, UF's top governing body, and the statewide Board of Governors. "We're opposing all forms of block tuition," Sowell said. UF is the only school whose students formally have opposed the idea and sent a resolution against it to local and state officials, Sowell said.

Paying UF's membership fees to rejoin the Florida Student Association, the lobbying group representing public university students, was another tactic designed to help in the block-tuition battle. An expansion of wireless Internet on and near campus should be finished by February, Student Body Vice President Jennifer Puckett said. UF's Chomp the Vote registration drive signed up more than 8,000 students for last November's elections. "This has been the most successful [voter] drive in the school's history," Sowell said. Setting the bar high Samuels says that some ambitious programs, such as creating an electronic database that connects students with volunteer and internship opportunities related to their fields of study, probably will not happen during the current term. The difficulty of the goal didn't stop Access from making it a promise to students, Samuels said. "We didn't hesitate to put something on our platform that would take some time and in the long run would be extremely beneficial to the entire student body," Samuels said. -Roadblocks on the path Many of the party's platforms have been met with resistance at times, Access leaders said. Plans for the Reitz Union food court to accept credit cards have been difficult to pass muster with Gator Dining Services, Samuels said. Party officials met with administrators in June without success. The party's goal to construct an Asian and Asian-American culture institute and improve buildings for the Institute of Black Culture and La Casita was stalled by funding and administration obstacles. Sowell said funding for the Asian institute probably won't be available until 2008. Due to funding restrictions, the formation and maintenance of a multicultural center would close existing institutions such as the IBC and La Casita. Sowell said he felt students did not want to lose the individual centers they already had. Plans to improve parks depended on the passage of the November Better Parks Better Roads sales-taxinitiatives. "We were really hoping that would pass," he said. "That was a little bit out of our hands. What we're looking into now is privately building some of those parks on campus, and we're currently just looking for sites." A plan to have "Fireside Chomps," similar to Franklin D. Roosevelt's Fireside Chats, was altered when party leaders decided not to go through with plans to broadcast an SG update through radio or television. One plan in the works is to have audio of SG updates available through the SG Web site. In the works The search for a spot to house UF's 24-hour study center looks promising, Puckett said. SG is looking into renovating or modifying an empty classroom to provide an all-day escape for students who need aplace to hit the books. "We think we can find space in something that already exists," Puckett said. Samuels said students "need to understand" Access has had "less than a month" to work on Fall promises, such as having biodegradable utensils available, on campus. "And no other party has been close to keeping the number of promises that we've kept," he said. PUBLIC SAFETY Threats bumbled An explosives expert he "ain't." Following a series of seemingly novice bomb threats, Gainesville Police arrested Alvin Bernard Barnes, 205 NW 14th St., Saturday afternoon near the Gainesville Lodge motel, where he had been staying. Police say Barnes, 41, made four separate bomb-threat calls to the Alachua County Sheriff's Office after being evicted from room No. 207 for "consistent disorderly" conduct. Barnes apparently forgot his "lines" by the second call. "[There is a] bomb going off at the Gainesville Sun. I mean, Gainesville Lodge, and it ain't in room No. 207," Barnes said, according to police reports. Police officers later apprehended Barnes near a University Avenue pay phone, from which he made his last phone call. A search of hotel premises by police did not uncover any explosives. THIRD VANDALISM SUSPECT SURRENDERS TO POLICE: A day after the arrest of his two friends for Thursday's vandalism spree, Alexander J. Poser, 5406 NW 88th St., hired a lawyer and turned himself in to police Friday evening. Under the influence of alcohol, Poser and Jeremy Weathers Martin, both 19, and Ryan Matthew Luca, 20, took a lug wrench and golf clubs to a number of cars, mailboxes and a $1,200 fountain along West University Avenue on Thursday morning, police said. Martin and Luca confessed Thursday afternoon, and although police forces knew of Poser's participation in the crime, they were unable to locate him immediately. GPD spokesman Sgt. Keith Kameg said he hopes the victims of the more than 30 separate incidents are compensated for their losses. "This was a reckless, kind of stupid act that probably won't warrant prison time, but I do hope that it will warrant restitution -that all these people will get paid for what they lost and GPD will get paid for, literally, the 120 to 130 hours of time that we hbd to put into this case," he said. -MEGAN V.

MONDAY, JANUARY 10, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 5 Moore hire should not violate law T ust like every other person with a Political opinion, Michael Moore has his detractors. A simple Google earch of "Michael Moore" directs you to a plethora of sites that allegedly chronicle Moore's lies, misjudgments and conspiracies. We brought Michael Moore with the intention of sparking debate and creating thoughtful conversations among UF students and the community at large about the presi-dential election. David The demand Buchalter for Moore on Speaking Out campus was more than obvious. After the day of the press release, the Accent phone lines did not stop ringing. The speech was covered in every local and regional paper and on television, radio and Internet news sources. With 12,000 people in attendance and others waiting outside, the turnout could not have been more exciting. Accent, -Student Government's speakers bureau, has a long history of bringing political ruckus to the UP. From those infuriated by the decisions of the elder President Bush in the Gulf War to those disgusted by President Clinton's infidelities, Accent always earns much criticism for our choice of speakers. Accent speakers bureau will always provide an equal platform for political rhetoric and will never shy away from controversy. In regard to the FEC complaint filed. by the Arizona attorney David T. Hardy, Accent and UF stand by the decision to bring Michael Moore. The General Counsel's office was consulted on several occasions regarding specific questions, and the university's attorneys confirmed our legality in bringing all political commentary in such a heated election season, including Moore and Gov. Pataki. As with other speakers, the university supported Accent's decisions and sought to uphold student autonomy. In return, Accent proceeded in accordance with all of the appropriate guidelines applied from the university and beyond. Accent keeps accurate and detailed records of every show. While cooperating with the FEC request, and after providing copies of our documents, we are confident it will be shown the university did not violate any federal election laws in bringing Michael Moore to UP Another simple Google search reveals a predictable result. David Hardy is the author of many articles, Web sites and books berating Michael Moore and his antics. As his latest book is entitled "Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man," Hardy may be motivated by more than just a genuine, gqod-natured attempt to level the political playing field. Let us not forget our First Amendment right to free speech. I contend that the decision to bring Michael Moore to campus, made by Accent and the University of Florida, was a completely legal and ethical action. More importantly, l am confident Accent continues to accomplish its goals within the UF comnmmity. David Bnchalter is chainmam of Accent.

6, ALLIGATOR U MONDAY JANUARY 10 2005 Editorial Complaints Despite controversy, UF was right to hire Moore J ust when we started to think Michael Moore was losing his edge, he has found a way to come kicking and screaming into the forefront of electoral politics once again. This time, Moore is at the center of an election-law battle as FEC complaints filed against UF and other universities allege the hiring of Moore as a speaker constituted illegal contributions to the Kerry-Edwards campaign. But the complaints are dubious from the outset, as their filer, Arizona lawyer David T. Hardy, is hardly a disinterested party. Along with Jason Clarke, he is co-author of "Michael Moore Is A Big Fat Stupid White Man"-a book that is, to say the least, highly critical of Moore's work. Because of Hardy's public ani-Moore stance, it is difficult to see the complaint against the Accent-sponsored speech as anything other than an attempt by Hardy to exploit the law to punish opponents of his political beliefs. Legally, however, the complaint may have a chance of succeeding. It is possible UF may be found to have violated federal election laws by paying for a speaker who was obviously going to be vocal in his support of one candidate over the other. But UF and Accent are standing by their decision, as they rightfully should. In this case, intentions are more important than outcome. While there could have been no doubt Moore was going to hit Gainesville with pro-Kerry guns blazing, it is urdikely he was hired specifically to influence student voters. Love him or hate him, Moore is one of the most controversial and visible figures in popular culture today. His speech was an opportunity for UF students to hear firsthand from someone who has shaped public perceptions and has made himself into one of the world's foremost media icons. Accent recognized this opportunity, so they jumped on it. This is not to say they couldn't have done more to provide a balanced slate of speakers for UF students. Someone from the far right should have been hired, so both sides could have had the same opportunities to incite passion from respective supporters. Obviously, that sort of staunchly conservative speaker did not come. The de-facto pro-Bush response to Michael Moore was provided by New York Gov. George Pataki, who had originally been hired to commemorate the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. Though a knowledgeable source of information on the attacks, Gov. Pataki is nowhere near the kind of hard-line conservative ideologue required to. counteract Moore's fiery rhetoric. And while Anne Coulter and Rush Limbaugh are unlikely to tour the university circuit any time soon, an effort to find someone to do the job should have been made. Regardless, hiring Michael Moore was an opportunity UF and Accent could not ignore. To expect them to have acted otherwise would have deprived students of a chance they may never have had again. And students who didn't want that chance did not have to attend the speech. In the end, this is an issue that transcends personal politics. Whether or not you agree with Moore's views is beside the point. There is no room for personal politics in law-especially election law. the independont florida a Igator Dwayne Robinson EDITOR Mike Gimignani MANAGING EDITOR Matt Sanchez OPINIONS EDITOR The Alligator encourages comments from readers.

Opinions "Copyrighted Material 6 Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" 6A Guest couimn Headline mistaken ly -made judgment he Alligator gained its independence more than 30 years ago, after its editor broke the law and published abortion-related information.' In last Thursday's paper, the Alligator news department unintentionally took a side in the abortion debate by referring to the morning-after pill as an "abortion pill" in a headline. The article described local women's rights activists who planned to protest and, ultimately, get arrested for distributing the "Plan B" morning-after pill at the Food and Drug Administration offices in Rockville, Md. Its botched headline read, "Groups demand overthe-counter abortion pills." Abortion rights groups and Student Health Care Center workers quickly called to correct us, saying the morning-after pill was an emergency contraceptive pill. After listening to their concerns and researching the matter, we determined the pill does act as a contraceptive, delaying ovulation and, thus, preventing sperm from fertilizing an egg. We also contacted anti-abortion groups,, such as Florida Right to Life or Gator Christian Life, to get a second opinion before committing to run a correction. From their perspective, the morning-after pill is an abortion pill, since it also could alter a woman's uterine wall, preventing an already fertilized egg from attaching to it and ending what they believe is a pregnancy. A call to the home of SHCC nurse practitioner Jackie Davis confirmed some studies support that theory. The Alligator editors all agreed after publication that the headline was poorly written. But the proper remedy for the blunder proved more elusive. First, correcting headlines is a rare event, as many newspapers, including The New York Times, have a policy of not doing so. Second, to publish a correction saying the morningafter pill was not an abortion pill would be tantamount Dwayne Robinson Editorial Notebook drobinson@alIigator.org to the news department of the Alligator saying either life does not begin at conception or that ending a pregnancy at such an early stage of development ,cannot be considered an abortion. We are as unwilling to take a stand today on what constitutes an abortion as we were before we published Thursday's story. Furthermore, while pro-abortion and anti-abortion groups are free to disagree and debate upon the "real" definition of the term, Alligator news stories will not be their battleground. Our motto, easily found on the front of our newspapers, reads: "We inform. You decide." Despite the fact that a number of readers view the Alligator as a liberal newspaper, our news staff works diligently to present the news in an objective, fair and non-partisan manner. Certainly, the author of the article -who did not write the headline -should not be held at fault, as by all measures he got it right. We have not received one complaint criticizing the article itself. But for the numerous complaints regarding the headline, we have run those as letters to the editor on the Opinions page. And that is the proper place to debate whether or not the morning-after pill is an abortion pill. Today's column opens our decision-making process and rationale up for criticism and debate, which was the primary reason for doing it.

MONDAY, JANUARY 10, 2005 R ALLIGATOR, 7 Black history about more than activism Editor: I am extremely concerned about the article in Thursday's Alligator about Snoop performing during Black History Month. The author was of the opinion Snoop was a bad choice and didn't represent black history. Why? Snoop is black. He has been a wellknown black entertainer for years. Does that not make him a part of black history and future? It seems to me that with the fourthhighest record sales in rap music he definitely reaches this generation. So, why is it a very popular black man is said to be wrong for entertainment during Black History Month? I have been under the impression history could be a minute ago, yesterday, last year or last decade. From what I can tell, Snoop. was around-and black-throughout these thnes in history. Why must black history focus its attention on slavery instead of what blacks have accomplished since? The focus should be on what, as a race, they are doing and which direction they would like to go. Finally, I am appalled at the suggestion that Lauryn Hill would have been a better choice. Why. She hasn't been popular for a decade, while Snoop's popularity is holding strong. But, most importantly, she is a racist. She made a comment after her album hit it big that she would rather starve and be on welfare than have a white person buy her album. So, would it be better to have a performer who entertains all races and is at the height of his career, or a racist has-been? I would rather have no entertainment than Lauryn Hill. James NeSmith Gainesville resident .U Columnist should stick to the facts Editor: Lauren Flanagan could use some help. I understand that opinions are opinions. I understand that opinions are not facts. What I do not understand is someone who states a fact and then proclaims an opinion entirely contrary to that fact.

FBK member wants motto fulfilled ACCESS, from page bers often has happened in years past. "It's-a first come, first served registration," she said. "If the students are eligible, then the party, in fact, is approved." Sowell said Shrine has had no affiliation with the party. He added that this was the first time he has seen someone use another active political party's name since he's been at UF. Shrine said the reason he took the Access Party name-was not because of "dirty politics" but because he believes his party can do a better job of representing the ideals the original Access Party spoke about during last Spring's election. Those ideals include opening up SG opportunities to all students, regardless of Greek or FBK membership. "It was only a few of us that did it," Shrine said. "I believe in all the ideals of the Access Party, and I believe in the past they haven't followed through with them." Shrine said he noticed Access was giving preference to those in the Greek system and those in FBK. But, an FBK member himself, Shrine said the affiliation is not an issue. "As far as (Florida) Blue Key goes, I've never been involved in the dealings and the politics," he said. "I've been passed over in many positions by people who said they don't deal." Shrine said his newly formed Access Party is deciding whether it will choose a student to run for Student Body president. What he said mattered to him was protecting the original meanig of the Access Party by owning the name and ensuring fulfillment of the Access motto: "Access for all students." "I feel that more of an independent voice is needed," he said. Shrine said he never has directly supported any political party in the past. "It wasn't anything about dirty politics," he said. "I just feel this is a better way to go." News of Shrine's actions surprised current Access politicians. "That was totally unexpected for someone to take your name that you worked hard for so that you wouldn't be able to use it," Sowell said. The president was a creator of the original Access Party prior to his victorious election last Spring. SG parties must re-register before each semester s election period. It is legal for any student to register for any party name during the allotted time frame. This leaves Sowell and others umable to take legal action against Shrine for using the Access name. Now we're trying to strategize things to see where we're going to go from here," he Andre Samuels, an adviser to Sowell, said the party now will have to focus on ruling a clean and honest campaign when other parties will be "trickmg the student." "These are the beginSamuels nings of character assassination," Samuels said. "These are the begirmings of the truly dirtiest politics SG used to play." Using previously held party names, as well as having insiders set up "dummy parties so students don't know who to vote for" are typical of SG's past, Samuels said. As of Friday afternoon, seven parties have applied to become a party, including Ignite, Keg and The Gator Party. Samuels said the reasons for these socalled political tricks are other parties are not confident they can win on merit alone. "Students don't vote if they feel that there's just too much dirt and too much dishonesty going on," he said. "And that's what they want." NOW from page 1 cause she already has cast a vote in support of us, and ultimately, she has no say on whether the morning-after pill will go over-the-counter," Mangan said. The protestors still plan "to keep the pressure on Steven Galson by calling and harassing him every chance we get," Mangan said. The group, who planned on passing out morning-after pills to passersby, only passed out two pills. Elizabeth Hansen, Pro-Life Alliance president, said the protest was misguided and used the wrong approach. "The morning-after pill promotes promiscuity," Hansen said. "This is a free country, so there is always room for other opinions, as long as they're legal." Other Gainesville residents arrested were Stephanie Seguin, Candy Churchill and Jenny Brown. Sunday also started Rush Week TSUNAMI, from page 1 numbers. "I know most'of us can't even imagine the devastation that happened over there, so keep that in mind," Lane said before the band broke into Sublime's "Santeria." .Lopez-Bernal said the concert's purpose was twofold: serving to cap off the Interfraternity Council's fund-raising efforts, while simultaneously kicking off Rush Week. IFC's Rush Week officially began Sunday night with a forum aimed at providing information for aspiring fraternity members. Though the concert was planned independently of the forum, Lopez-Bernal said he hoped students attending it also would stop by the concert to listen and donate, while getting a better idea of Sigma Pi's objectives. Sigma Pi member Chris Ferrante said he hoped the concert would show fraternity hopefuls the positive aspects of Greek 1; f "I know most of us can't even imagine the devastation that happened over there, so keep that in mind." Peter Lane First Glance band member Aimee Gunn, a first-year environmental science student, said she was passing by and decided to stop and listen to the music for a bit. She said she enjoyed the band and thought the North Lawn was a good location to catch people's attention. "It's for a good cause," she said. "There's a lot of devastation over there."

MONDAY, JANUARY 10, 2005 IA-LLIGATOR, 9 Fraternity forum marks start of Spring Rush week Tricia Coyne / Alligator Staff Matt Del Pizzo and Peter Gwynn-Sackson talk with Brian Galgay and other members of Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity at the Interfraternity Council Spring Rush Forum on the Reitz Union Colonnade Sunday. The IFC executive board hosted a forum, which began in the Reitz Union Auditorium. By KYLIE CRAIG Alligator Writer About three dozen fraternity potentials nervously milled about the Reitz Union Sunday in hopes of learning more about Greek brotherhood and the Spring Rush process. The Interfratendty Council Spring Rush Foiun, which took place in the Reitz Union Auditorium and on the Colonade, gave the men a chance to ask questions about the rush process as well as to meet representatives from each of IFC's 24 fraternities. The event began with a forum hosted by the IFC executive board. Crowd members learned what fraternities have to offer in the areas of service, academics, brotherhood, sportsmanship and socials. Administrative Vice President Jeremy Martin spoke about the personal benefits of joining a fraternity, saying, "When people graduate, they come out as better students, better leaders and better citizens." The attendees then were given the basics on the rush process, and Director of Greek Life Chris Bullins emphasized the importance of asking questions and visiting as many chapters as possible. "Take the time to think through this and make sure you find the right fit," Bullins said. Bullins also told students that the process was as much about them selecting a chapter as it was about the chapter selecting them. The board answered questions about rush. Many attendees were Greek concerned about going Life through the process as a junior or transfer student as well as about rushing for the second tine this year. Those concerned were told regardless of their classification or previous attempts at Greek membership, they still would be considered. Following the forum, students headed outside to meet representatives from each fraternity and officially begin the recruitment process. UF freshman C.J. Thomas, 18, said he decided to rush because it seemed fun and that his goal is "just to find a fraternity that has likeminded people in it." Brandon Dodd, recruitment chairman for Kappa Alpha, gave a few tips on how to have a successful Rush Week. "Present yourself well, and don't be shy," Dodd said. "You are making an impression on 80 guys (in each chapter)." tBUY Y OURT TEXTBiOOKS ATHA CM fANMD SAVE UP TO 4 / OFF* THE L115T PRIC"VE. ente. thti r r0T ht't it!

MONDAY, JANUARY 10, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 17 WOMEN'S TENNIS Incoming players to bolster talented, young team By NATASHA WEINSTEIN Alligator Writer nweinstein@alligator.org With only three upperclassmen, the UF women's tennis team is young. But what they lack in age, the seven women make up with talent and dedication. Junior Jennifer Magley, who is expected to have the top seed for the start of the season, leads the team after the loss of Alexis Gordon. An All-American, Magley is joined by senior Zerene Reyes and junior Boglarka Berecz. "We are .certainly going to rely on those three returning players in experience and playing ability," Coach Roland Thornqvist said. The sophomore and three freshmen that complete the team are extremely able players with a work ethic that will allow them to be a top team, Thornqvist said. He admits that the season may be slightly up and -wn, especially in the beginning. Thornqvist said he enjoys the challenge of teaching such a young team. Though the team might not play to its capability early on due to lack of experience, he's confident that by season's end, everyone will be playing better. "The new players know it's going to take hard work to get back to that absolute elite level of play, and even though they're young, their greatest asset is their work ethic," he said. "I'm hoping that this will transition into good finishes this year." "We have an extremely talented team and their presence on court is always known." Jennifer Magley UF tennis player Thornqvist said a strong point for the girls is in their doubles play. Pairs Magley and Reyes and freshmen Whitney Benik and Lolita Frangulyan should bring points to the team. "They [Magley and Reyes] compliment each other really well, and I'm looking forward to a great year from them," he said. "They're really close to having a breakout season and doing really well." As a leader of the team, Magley said she is looking forward to the challenge of being in the top position and is excited about the newcomers. "We have an extremely talented team and their presence on court is always known," Magley said. She added that she believes the three freshmen are some of the best in their recruiting class. "They've had a lot of L-xperience," Magley said. "They've played around the world. They know what teams are about and what it's like to be on the court." Magley said she's confident that the team could go all the way this season. "When you play sports you should expect to win," she said. "All you can do is go out there and try your hardest, work your hardest and whatever comes, come what may." The Gators open their ,season Thursday at the National Collegiate Classic in Las Vegas.

However, Arkansas could not overcome UF's nearly flawless second-half shooting -the Gators made 14 of 18 shots, a 77.8 percent shooting percentage.

"That's what he has to do all year -go in there and take shots and be aggressive," said center Al Horford, who added that Lee is UF's best player. "I'm glad he did that because he set the tone for our team early." Still, Lee's biggest surprise was his converted jump shots.

"I'm telling you, every possession, I was living and dying today," Lee said. "I can't tell you I had a lot of friends in town. I really wanted to show them the Gator way of winning today.

8, ALLIGATOR 0 MON DAY, JANUARY 10, 2005 GYMNASTICS Host Gators finish second in Super Six Challenge Sophomore Katie Rue vaults in UF's second-place finish in the Super Six Challenge on Friday. She scored a 9.75 on it. By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer. Coming into Friday's Super Six Challenge, UF coach Rhonda Faehn made it clear this was a meet that was instrumental in giving her young team experience. If for nothing else, Faehn can get credit for sticking to her guns. By using routines that their coach feels can win them a championship in April, the No. 6 Gators finished second with a team score of 194.45 in' front of an attendance of 8,119, the second largest in school history. "Tonight we put quite a few new routines out there, a lot of freshmen," Faehn said. "We definitely tried to increase our skill level. "We had some really excellent bright spots, but we also had a lot of rough spots. It was in those areas that we were attempting very difficult skills." No. 2 Georgia won the meet with a score of 194.85. Bulldogs coach Suzanne Yoculan, however, admitted that their routines were more conservative in nature due to the high number of freshmen who were competing. She also had good things to say about the Gators following the meet. "They have an exceptional team, no doubt about it," she said. "One of the best teams I've ever seen Florida have." UF (4-1) had a chance to win the meet in the final skill, uneven'bars, but were forced to count a fall. The Gators also had to count a fall on floor exercise. "I'm excited to see the potential we can achieve. We have some things we need to work on still. If we were peaking now, we'd be in trouble in April." Rhonda Faehn UF gymnastics coach "We knew that [we could win on our last apparatus]," Faehn said. "We felt pretty confident in our athletes that we weren't going to have two misses on bar dismount. "You get anxious and it's the first meet of the year, and there were two newcomers, so it's all right," -she said. "They're just learning." Despite the defeat, there were several positives that UF could take out of Friday night's event. Two Gators won individual event titles. Breanne King took the balance beam with a score of 9.85 and Samantha Lutz finished first on the uneven bars with a score of 9.875. In addition, King finished second in the all-around to Alabamai's Ashley Miles. Miles' score of 39.35 outdistanced King's 39.20. "I got chills when I walked out there," King said. "To have all those people cheering for you calmed me down a lot." Senior Orley Szmuch also made the podium in the allaround, finishing sixth. Three freshmen made debuts for UF. Ashley Reed finished seventh in the all-around and was among four Gators to score 9.80 on vault, a score that yielded a six-way tie for fourth place. King and Savannah Evans also garnered 9.80, as did freshman Tiffany Murry. Murry finished in a tie for fourth with Evans in floor exercise with a 9.875. "Obviously we're disappointed," Faehn said. "We knew that we were more than capable of winning. But it's a learning process, and we're going to take from this the mistakes that we made and improve on that for the rest of the season. "I'm excited to see the potential we can achieve. We have some things we need to work on still. If we were peaking now, we'd be in trouble in April."

MONDAY, JANUARY 10, 2005 I ALLIGATOR, 19 BEATINGmllv THEB liwo All-male team aids Gators By LOUIS ANASTASIS Alligator Staff Writer Ianastass@aIligator.org Tashia Morehead doesn't get bullied around by teammates or opponents. So when she happens to play against a bunch of guys, Morehead isn't about to cut them any slack, either. "The guys get banged and bruised," Morehead said. "They come out and play hard just like they're playing in an intramural or regular game and they end up with the most bruises." Though anyone who isn't involved with the women's basketball team may not know this, Morehead and her teammates play guys -UF students who have volunteered to be practice players -almost every day in practice. The team has been playing practice players since the early '90s. In the early days, team See extended version at alligator.org/sports. managers or personnel involved with -the program comprised the team. Sometimes guys outside the program would join the squad. UF reserve tight end Otto Graham has even played on the team. But just before Christmas, after a women's home basketball game against Central Florida, UF students and rabid hoops fans Tom Evison, Mike Bowden and Joln Kamprath wanted to join the party. The three yelled at Coach Carolyn Peck while she did a post-game interview on the radio. When she walked over, they told her they wanted to join the practice team. A full physical and EKG blood test later, Tom, Mike and John became UF's new batch of practice players. Another UF student, Matt. Pendleton, wouldjoii later. "I just wanted to help the team," said' Tom, a 6-foot-3 junior who often plays center against.the girls. "I wanted to contribute somehow. I always sit in the Rowdy Reptiles section and we can't play with the guys, so we might as well play with the girls." KEEPING UP WITH THE GIRLS All that means there's no holding back. They rarely slack off, and the girls benefit that way. "It's always good to play against tougher, bigger competition," forward Brittany Davis said. "It gets us more competitive too as a team because we want to go out there and, you know, beat the guys. And we want them to work as har d as they can to beat us. It brings us together as well as a team." If the Gators need to face a fullcourt press, the guys run it. If the Gators face a post presence, Peck will have the bigger guys -Tom, for example -try to dominate in the paint. "You don't see a lot of 6'6" big, muscular girls in the post," Davis said. "So you have to make other moves -pump fake and drive to the basket; stuff like that. When you're on defense and they're on offense, you have to adjust and be more physical." That's when things can get heated. I BLOCK YOU, YOU BLOCK ME Mike recalls a drill in one of his first practices when the guys were instructed to passthe ball. around the 3-point line. In return; t girls were supposed to hand-check the basketball. That was the plan, anyway. "The first time I got the ball, [Tamia Williams] came by and just smacked me in the face," Mike said. "I was like, 'Damn. This is gonna suck.' Now I hold the ball away from her so I don't get smacked in the face." Down low, it can get even worse -or better -depending on who you ask. The guys often block girls' shots. That's to be expected, to some degree. But when the girls are the ones blocking the shots, the guys often find themselves in a psychological dilemma. "It is definitely huinbling to get your shot blocked by them," Tom said. "If you think about the fact that they're college athletes, that's what they're there to do. But society doesn't really say that getting your shot blocked by a girl is a good thing." But the surprising thing is that there isn't any animosity between the guys and the girls. Just don't expect a humble answer if you ask the girls who's better. "Aw, we're better. You know that," Davis said. "But they definitely do a great job of making us better." WOMEN'S BASKETBALL U F r a I Vaes toU k nock k0f f A ubmur n By MICHAEL MAURINO Alligator Writer mmaurino@aligator.org Sometimes, it's not a matter of if, but when. Looking like it was due for a loss, the UF women's basketball team fell behind 48-42 to Auburn with less than eight minutes remaining. Leading much of the game, it seemed UF's lack of depth and poor shooting had finally caught up to the Gators. But then there were layups from forward Dalila Eshe and senior guard Tamia Williams while forward Bernice Mosby got to the foul line. Clutch 3-pointers from Williams sealed the deal. In what was their most exciting and highest-attended game of the season, the Gators rallied to defeat Auburn 67-60. Sunday's win follows a Gators victory at Arkansas that kicked off Southeastem Conference play. Now at 11-4 and 2-0 in the SEC, Coach Carolyn Peck is pleased with her team. "My team continues to impress me and show a lot of character," Peck said. "Trying to put together back-to-back wins in the SEC is never an easy task." Displaying the all-around play it had against Arkansas, UF played its best 20 minutes in closing the gap in the second half. Auburn was riding the momentum of erasing an 8point lead in the first, and took the lead at the 13:11 mark of the second period. But, Auburn got into foul trouble, putting UF in the bonus halfway through the second half. As the Gators began chipping away at the Tigers' lead, shooting 48 percent, Mosby took a more active role, stepping up on defense and getting to the foul line. After hitting 2 of 9 shots in the first half, Mosby shot 3 of 5 from the field in the second. She attributed her improvement to her trips to the free throw line. "When your shots aren't-falling, you have to penetrate to the basket and try to draw a foul," said Mosby, who finished with 17 points and nine rebounds. "It really opened things up for me and I gained more confidence in my shot and everything started clicking as a team." Also clicking was Williams. Playing in place of injured guard Danielle Santos, the senior scored 22 points. She drained four 3-pointers and none were bigger than her two consecutive threes that put the Gators up 58-54 with less than three minutes less. Williams might not have had her chances, however, had it not been for Eshe After -starting the season with a bum left knee, Eshe has become Williams a defensive force under the hoop. Patrolling the lane, Eshe had 8 points and eight rebounds, and seemed to affect every play in the final five minutes. "She was one of the frontruners to be a major contributor, maybe even start for us," said Peck of Eshe before her injury. "She has really fought and worked her way back, and working extremely hard to definitely contribute to this team." The Gators' fast start and eventual rally could have been attributed to the crowd. Numbering less than 4,000, but sounding like much more than that during the second half, the fans in attendance made their presence felt. "The crowd was backing us up, the energy was flowing through all our teammates," Williams said. "And it was great, it felt good to win with a big crowd. Maybe we can get some more fans coming out." -Nick West / Alligator Staff Senior forward Tashia Morehead enjoys practicing with her teammates, but the practice team gives her an additional challenge. IANNINGS, from page 20 Not only did the team have to get past losing Walsh, but David Lee needed to play better than he did against FSU for this team to go anywhere. On Saturday, Lee looked like the player everyone expected him to be from the start. It's no coincidence that this came after Coach Billy Donovan benched Lee. They had a meeting and Donovan told Lee what he expected. Lee got the message. For the next four weeks, Lee will not only have to play like he did Saturday, but he's also going to have to be a senior leader. If that happens and the team plays well around him, Walsh's loss may not be as tragic as I thought it'd be. While Arkansas' record may have been good, it might not have been that big a test for the Gators at home. That's where this weekend comes in. The Gators will head to Nashville to face Vanderbilt, a team that started its SEC season off hot with wins against Tennessee and more notably, a good Alaban3 team. The Gators will have a better idea of where they're at after that game. Until then, it's tough to say how UF will fare with,out Walsh. But as devastating as losing Walsh is, it appears to have given the Gators a sense of urgency. How long it lasts is up to them.

Spors ALLIGATOR www.alIligator.org/sports MEN'S BASKETBALL Gators rebound in SEC opener 3 .By BRYAN APP ,Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org When his name was announced during pre-game introductions, a stern stare of concentration appeared on David Lee's face. By the end of UF's 82-74 victory against Arkansas in its Southeastern Conference opener, his demeanor grew more upbeat. As he skipped down the court when time expired, a smile replaced the look of stone. And why not? While the league schedule is less than one week old, the Gators -with guard Matt Walsh sidelined for at least a month and the embarrassing loss to in-state rival Florida State fresh on everyone's mind -faced as close to a must-win game as a team can. And coming off his self-described "poor performance," Lee led the Gators (9-3, 1-0 SEC) to victory. "As for our team, as far as being short-handed, I think it really encourages us that we can beat a tremendous Arkansas team," Lee said. "I think we needed this one at home. It's great getting a win at home again 13-1 ballclub, a team that I think has a chance to win the West or be right up there until the end." Lee, who finished with a, teamhigh 17 points, seven rebourids and five assists, sparked his team's offense with a rare jump shot to begin the game. He again exhibited his confidence outside the paint, sinking another from the top of the key with just more than 10 minutes remaining in the first half and the shot clock expiring. "As for our team, as far as being short-handed, I think it really encourages us that we can beat a tremendous Arkansas team." David Lee UF forward "The SEC season is where the real stuff gets taken of by the veterans," Lee said. "And Matt Walsh was out, so I knew I had to take care of business today." Coach Billy Donovan said his team needed to find a way to manufacture points in Walsh's absence. And with all five starters scoring in double digits, UF proved to its coach and spectators that it was more than a three-trick pony. Lee and junior guard Anthony Roberson, who finished with 15 points and three assists on a 3 for 10 shooting performance, had their typical scoring games, while some underclassmen came through offensively. Forward Corey Brewer tied his career-high with 11 points, while center Al Horford had 12, shooting 4 for 4 from the field. But perhaps the greatest contribution came from the one who stood in for the injured Walsh. In his second start of the season, sophomore guard Lee Humphrey hit two 3-pointers during a 12-0 UF run to give the Gators a game-high 67-40 lead with 11:47 remaining. Humphrey followed his careerligh 15 points against FSU with 10 on Saturday while dishing out five assists. As the replacement, he remains humble and grateful to Walsh for his support and mentoring. "Matt's been helping us out; and he's been coaching me up on the sideline," he said. "He's been really good to me and the other guys, so he gets his input still." Tie Gators impressed their coach with an improvement in all aspects of their game by attacking the basket SEE HOOPS, PAGE 17 Matt Marriott / Alligator staff After enduring a tumultuous week of criticisms, senior forward David Lee led the Gators with 17 points and seven rebounds. Bench stint inspires Lee THE SENIOR SCORED 17 POINTS AGAINST ARKANSAS. By LOUIS ANASTASIS Alligator Staff Writer lanastasis@alligator.org All that Coach Billy Donovan had to do to get David Lee back on track was give him an ultimatum. After logging a forgettable 4-point, tworebound performance against Florida State on Jan. 2, Donovan had a meeting with Lee. It wasn't an emotional, motivational speech, but rather an unveiling of the truth, as Donovan describes it. He showed Lee his options: continue playing halfheartedly and get benched or step it up like a senior and finish your season strong. Saturday against Arkansas, Lee chose the latter. He finished the game with 17 points on 6 of 7 shooting, seven rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal. "He had every right to call me out like that," Lee said. "I'm a veteran. I'm a senior. I'm a captain of this team. If I don't produce, I need to be benched, or I need to be called out by the media. If that's the way he wants to do it, then that's fine." Lee didn't waste any time making his presence felt as he opened the game with an 18-foot jumper. Later, Lee drained anSEE LEE, PAGE 17 UF motivated without Walsh ast week, I thought bad things were coming for the UF men's basketball team. I probably wasn't the only one. Call me a pessimist, but without Matt Walsh, I thought this team was going nowhere. Not after a loss to Florida State in which the Gators looked worse than me during my 21st birthday party this weekend. But an impressive win against Arkansas has changed my mind. Arkansas may not be as good as its 13-2 record would indicate, but that doesn't matter. Coaches and players will tell you any conference game is a tough game. What fans witnessed against Arkansas was a story of motivation. Somehow, the Gators found it. They looked like a totally different team than the one that lost to FSU. Ian Fisher Extra lannings ifisher@ailigator.org I thought that without Walsh, at least the first four weeks of the Soufheastern C o n f e r e n c e schedule were going to be filled with losses,. I'm not so sure anymore. It seems to me that losing Walsh may have given the rest of the team something to rally around. In no way is losing your leading scorer a good thing, but the Gators needed something to get them going. It'll be interesting to see if they can keep their energy up for the grueling SEC season.
