* SCHOOL LAWYERS
EXPECT THE COMPLAINT
TO BE DISMISSED.

By STEPHANIE GARRY
Alligator Staff Writer
smgarry@alligator.org

More than three months
after controversial filmmaker
Michael Moore spoke at UF,
university officials are still
defending their actions.
The university's legal
counsel sent its response
Monday to a Federal Elections
Commission complaint alleg-
ing UF broke a federal law by
paying Moore to influence the
2004 presidential election.
University lawyers are
"optimistic" that the com-
plaint will be dropped.
"The university does not
believe there is any evidence
to support that it violated the
federal elections laws," said
Pam Bernard, UF general


counsel. "When you look at
the range of Accent speakers,
it's so clear that this student
group is trying to bring contro-
versial speakers to campus."
Attorney David T. Hardy
filed the complaint against
several universities Sept. 24,
before Moore's appearance.
He later
amended
the com-
plaint
one day
after the
presiden-
tial election
Mvoore to add
data, in-
cluding quotes from Moore's
speeches in which he said he
was targeting battleground
states to get out the vote for
then-Democratic presidential
nominee Sen. John Kerry.
Moore spoke at UF on Oct.
4, delivering a fiery speech

UF ADMINISTRATION

Selection narrows to six in search for new provost


By EMILY YEHLE
Alligator Writer
eyehle@alligator.org

Almost a year after then-Provost David
Colburn announced he would vacate the po-
sition, a UF search committee narrowed the
competition from 12 to six possible replace-
ments Monday.
None have experience as a provost, a uni-
versity's No. 2 administrator, as the committee
seeks a rising star.
"We were looking for someone who had
academic leadership experience but also
someone who wasn't moving laterally," said
Douglas Barrett, senior vice president for
health affairs and committee chairman.
George H. Atkinson, Cristina Gonzalez,
Richard J. Hoffmann, Pramod P. Khargonekar,

UF's baseball team
Monday. See story,
pg. 16.


Virginia Sapiro and Mark H. Thiemens will
come to UF in early February for interviews.
The goal will be to pick three possible provosts
to recommend to UF President Benie-Machen,
who will make the final decision, Barrett said.
But nothing is certain, he said. Those re-
jected Monday could be reconsidered later.
Or new candidates may pop up.
Or some may drop out of the race because
of other job offers or a change of heart.
"This is an ongoing and open process," he
said.
While most of the hopefuls are currently
working as administrators or professors at
universities around the country, the search
also drew a U.S. Department of State senior
adviser for science and technology.
Atkinson, who is on leave as a profes-
sor of chemistry and optical. sciences at the


University of Arizona, has worked under
Secretary of State Colin Powell since 2002.
Thus, Atkinson-is being recruited by many
schools and is a "hot item," said Jerry Baker,
a partner with Baker-Parker, the firm that UF
hired to help with the search process.
"This is an ongoing and open
process."
Douglas Barrett
Provost search committee chairman

Atkinson was one of the first to be chosen
for a follow-up interview.
The committee also praised the goals of
Gonzalez, a professor and senior advisor to
the chancellor at the University of California
at Davis. The discussion centered around the

cover letter in her resume, part of which con-
centrates on increasing diversity.
"She talks not just about diversity in
the past but about diversity in the future,"
said Dennis Ngin, Student Body treasurer.
Committee members also discussed whether
the new provost should be from another uni-
versity when they considered Khargonekar,
dean of UF College of Engineering.
Mixed with strong praises for his quali-
fications and knowledge of theuniversity's
system were questions of whether he would
bring new ideas and perspectives to U.
"This is an opportunity to bring in fresh
blood from outside," UF professor Ben Dunn
said.
All 12 hopefuls discussed Monday were
the "cream of the crop," Barrett said.
"That speaks well of UF," he said.

Fraternity makes donation to local organizations


* THE MONEY WAS RAISED
DURING AN EVENT IN JULY.

By JENNIFER REISS
Alligator Contributing Writer

Representatives from area chari-
ties and schools lined the stairs of
Tigert Hall on Monday afternoon to
accept $12,000 from the brothers of
Phi Beta Sigma fraternity.
The money was raised during
the fraternity's 22nd annual Blue
and White Weekend, held July 4-
10. With events such as exhibition
step shows, a free barbecue, a gos-
pel extravaganza and a basketball
tournament, the fundraiser attracted
about 10,000 guests from all over the
nation, member Marvin Prier said.
"Afterward, we get together and
brainstorm ideas about who we
think will benefit most," Prier said..
"The plan for the next blow-out
weekend starts afici tdie first one's
finished."
Leanetta McNealy, principal
at Duval Elementary Fine Arts
Academy, said she was shocked by
the contribution.

tom dollar we will certainly use the

TALLAHASSEE

Upcoming session may shake foundation of higher ed


By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM
Alligator Staff Writer
jvanl@alligator.org


TALLAHASSEE -- Tuition increases, a
landmark lawsuit and a desire to encourage
students to graduate within four years are is-
sues that staff in the Florida Senate believe will
be tackled in this year's legislative session.
Undergraduate, in-state tuition could
rise 5-7 percent this year, with graduate
and out-of-state tuition rising faster, said
John Newman, staff director of the Senate
Educa ti n A.pproprian.'ns Committee. "
The legislature raised in-state tuition by 8.5
percent in 2003 and 7.5 percent in 2004, and
hiked out-of-state tuition 12.5 percent last year
- to $15,827 a year in UF tuition and fees for
30 credits.
A 5-7 percent increase for in-state students
would actually be smaller than that being
sought by Florida's universities, including
UF, which want to raise tuition nearer to
the national average of about $5,132 a year.


Currently, in-state undergraduates at UF pay
$2,955 a year for 30 credits, and the legislature
would have to agree to a 58 percent bump to
bring in-state tuition up to the national aver-
age.
But the state defrays about three-quarters
of the cost of in-state tuition, and ponies up the
balance for students with Bright Futures schol-
arships or those enrolled in the prepaid tuition
program. So when the legislature agrees to in-
crease tuition, it essentially raises its own bill,
Newman said.
"I think that if the legislature made in-
creases, for a percentage of every dollar of
that they'll have to finance Bright Futures, and
they'll also be mindful of what kind of increase
the prepaid tuition fund can sustain," he said.
Out-of-state and graduate tuition, how-
ever, is not covered by those programs and
would be easier for the legislature to increase
even beyond 7 percent, Newman added.
UF President Bernie Machen has said he
wants UF to have the power to set its own
tuition, a power currently held by the state


legislature. Florida's other universities want
similar powers.
But a rash of changes in the way the state
governs its 11 public universities beginning
with the disbandment of
the Board of Regents in
2000, the establishment
of university boards of
trustees and the re-estab-
lishment of a state Board
of Governors by a 2002
constitutional amendment
ork has embroiled universi-
Yor ties in state politics and left
the question of who controls higher education
in confusion.
"The issue of whether the universities or
the legislature sets tuition is all tied up with
that deal of who's in charge;" Newman said.
That question likely will be decided by a
lawsuit filed Dec. 21 by former UF interim
president E.T. York and Jon Mills, dean emeri-
tus of UF's Levin College of Law.
The suit seeks to restore centralized control


of Florida's 11 public universities to an auton-
omous Board of Governors that would have
control over funding, tuition and the establish-
ment of new academic programs.
Michael O'Farrell, staff director of the
Senate Education Committee, said depending
on the suit's outcome, the legislature will get.
an indication of who has authority over what.
But whether the lawsuit will succeed, "I have
no idea," he said.
Towson Fraser, spokesman for House
Speaker Allan Bense, said the outcome of the
suit would have a "big impact" on what the
legislature does for higher education this year.
Also this session, House leaders want to
create "incentives" for students who graduate
within four years, he said..
Block tuition, for which full-time students
would pay the same tuition costs whether
they enrolled for 12, 15 or 18 credit hours, is
one option that interests Bense, Fraser said.
"It's six years that some students are stay-
ing in-school, and that affects the budget," he
said.

PUBLIC SAFETY

Man's identity found


The identity of the 40-year-old
man found dead Sunday evening in
the back of his Northwest Gainesville
home has been determined, but
cause of death remains unclear, ac-
cording to authorities.
Gainesville Police Department
spokesman Keith Kameg said his
agency is awaiting toxicology results
for Shane A. Lewis, the owner of
3734 NW 22nd Terrace, where his
body was found.
"We have a number of
questions about the
house."
Keith Kameg
Gainesville Police Department
spokesman

Kameg said there are no obvious
signs of foul play, but the investiga-
tion is still pending under the super-
vision of Detective Mike Schentrup.
"We have a number of questions
about the house," Kameg said.
Authorities .went to the home
Sunday evening in response to a
citizen's report of a possible burglary.
Kameg said the house might be va-
cant, as utilities were turned off.
Kameg said detectives could not
determine if any items had been
taken. GPD has been in contact with
the Lewis' family to determine if
anything is missing.
Anyone with information regard-


ing this investigation should call
Schentrup at 334-2477.

ELIZABETH PRANN
BABY JANE'S RACE DETERMINED:
More than a year after the Gainesville
community embraced "Baby Jane,"
the unidentified infant found dead
in a Northwest Alachua County
pond August 2003, a Sarasota-based
company put the Alachua County
Sherrif's Office. one step closer to
finding out her identity.
Due to the body's badly decom-
posed state, determining Baby Jane's
age and even ethnicity has been a
difficult task. Her parents have yet
to be found.
On. Friday, however, with help
from DNAPrint Genomics Inc.,
authorities announced the field of
possible identities for Baby Jane have
been narrowed from 50 children to
approximately eight:
Forensic technicians analyzed a
bone sample from the body and de-
termined the infant was black, most
likely of Sub-Saharan-African and
Caribbean descent.
Anyone with information
concerning the identity of Baby
Jane's parents is asked to contact
Detective Robert Dean at 367-4161
or remain anonymous by calling
CrimeStoppers at 372-STOP.

Students


write a


revolution

By LINDSAY TAULBEE
Alligator Writer
Itaulbee@alligator.org

A new generation searching for
its identity has found its voice in a
"revolutionary" book written by
college students.
Arar Han, co-editor of the re-
cently published "Asian American
X: An Intersection of Twenty-First
Century Asian American Voices,"
spoke to about 65 students in the
Reitz Union on Monday.
The book features 35 essays
from college-aged students, in-
cluding a UF graduate student,
and depicts a variety of experienc-
es from within the Asian-American
community.
"This is a pretty revolutionary
book," said Mark Villegas, presi-
dent of the Asian Student Union,
which hosted Han.
The book stands out from most
other available resources, he said,
in that it addresses the concerns of
a younger generation.
"This is us creating our own
identity, our own culture," he
said.
Han told the crowd the idea for
the book took shape after several
events pushed her and co-editor
John Hsu to more closely examine
issues of identity and stereotypes
when they were college sopho-
mores.
They began contacting univer-
sities in search of essayists repre-
senting a variety of experiences,
viewpoints and socioeconomic
backgrounds.
"The question of what Asian-
American is, is an open one," she
said.
Han said she and Hsu were
careful to preserve the originality
of the essayists' words, opting not
to alter the works for grammar or
style.
"They're really intelligent es-
says," she said. "They make a
pretty good bedside read."
In an interview after the speech,
Hah said she learned something
from all the contributors.
"The diversity of experiences
really surprised me," she said.
"We can't help but assume what
we know is what is out there."
In that way, many of the essays
opened Han up to circumstances
that differed from her own, she
said.
Francine Di, a UF graduate stu-
dent studying music, wrote "The
Jazzian Singer" as an undergradu-
ate at Rice University.
Her essay discusses the absence
of Asian-American singers in U.S.
culture. Di said the.essays in the
book will touch many, as everyone
struggles with similar emotions.








Editorial


SG Elections

Access to be an issue in

more ways than one
S student access to Student Government is emerging as
the key issue in an SG election season already marked
by political shenanigans.
,In a nod to old-school, mudslinging politics, the access
issue became literal when one UF student snatched away
the name of the incumbent SG party and fled off into the
night.
Of course, there is a certain amount of merit in Michael
Shrine's message, if not his methods.
UF still is waiting for a party that will fully open itself up
to all students, and Access' challengers are ready to exploit
this fact.
While Access has performed admirably in accomplish-
ing many of its goals, there still exists a tangible barrier
between SG and its constituents.
Unfortunately, the party's platform promises that would
have helped remove this barrier have been neglected.
One of those that didn't work out was SGTV, a program
through which all senate meetings would have been broad-
cast on Campus Cable TV and online.
Similarly,'the proposed "Fireside Chomps" would have
gone a long way toward improving SG-student relations.
These addresses by SG President Jamal Sowell would have
given students a valuable chance to have their leader ex-
plain to them the state of affairs in SG and the university
that month.
Despite these missteps, however, things look promising
for the future.
While far cry from the lofty ideals of Access' party plat-
form, the current plan to have SG audio updates available
on the Internet is a step in the right direction.
And whether it has been for political reasons or a genu-
ine interest in the students, Access has stepped up efforts
to deliver as many of its promises as possible before the
election.
However, the party must convince the students.it is still
dedicated to its pledge of increasing access if they want to
succeed.
Shrine's faux Access Party is only one of an increasingly
large pool of groups seeking to push the envelope forward
on the issue of opening up SG by attempting to break the
SGreek stranglehold on the highest offices.
One of the other anti-Greek parties, the Strike Force
-Party, could be a strong contender. Their presidential can-
didate Zach Huddleston has experience with the Student
Alliance Party, and the members of the Theatre Strike Force
have proved to be masters of advertising and propaganda.
It's likely they will be able to, garner sizeable support from
students who normally might not have voted.
And with seven parties already announced and at-least a
few more in the wings, the time is ripe for an upset-as the
vote can get split when students don't have -clear frontrun-
ners to choose from.
Last semester's .elections were evidence enough of this,
as the Keg Party's introduction into the race led to a run-off
Access victory over the incumbent Innovate party.
Though some of these contenders' chances may seem
far-fetched against a party that essentially swept the Fall
election, this semester looks to be wacky enough that any-
thing could happen.

Kerry dog tag sale
In the interest of full disclosure, the UF response to the
FEC complaint should include self-disclosure of the fact
UF openly allowed the sale of partisan merchandise in
the main arena of the Stephen C. O'Connell Center prior to
Michael Moore's speech during the student-funded Accent
speaking event.
Dem Tags, which bear prominent pro-Kerry/anti-Bush
messages, were sold for $10 each in substantial quanti-
ties. According to product literature distributed at the
O'Connell Center and posted on www.demtags.com, net
proceeds from the sale of this partisan merchandise were
to be donated to organizations dedicated to getting out the
vote and furthering Democratic causes.. Viewed as a direct
or indirect political contribution, the sale of this partisan
merchandise within .a governmentally owned building
potentially violates Florida Statue 106.15 (4). Regardless,
this clearly-partisan political activity should not have been
allowed within the O'Connell Center during a student-
funded event.
Upon being advised of this situation by other students,
I discussed the matter with O'Connell Center Director
Lionel Dubay. No initial action was taken to address these
concerns.- I was told "the vendor was allowed to be there."
The director subsequently advised me the vendor was re-
quested to stop selling the tags. This occurred just before
Moore began to speak. The vendor, however, was allowed
to stay in the main arena of the O'Connell Center in lieu of
being removed from the premises.
These events clearly illustrate what UF allowed to
happen within a state-funded university facility, during'
a student-funded speaking engagement. Similarly, the
O'Connell Center openly accepted political contributions
for America Coming Together, a political action committee,
by selling unclaimed seats during the "Vote for Change"

was inappropriate
Nathan A. concert event a few days later.
Skop The bottom line is UF is not as
Speaking Out -squeaky clean as it has led people
to believe. UF should openly admit
what actually happened and provide
an affirmative statement that it is not the role of a state flag-
ship university to actively support partisan politics.
Additionally, with respect to the Accent event itself,
Accent has a rich history of bringing prominent and contro-
versial speakers to U. It should be commended for this re-
cord. But in lieu of the traditional open mike format, it ad-
opted a pre-submitted question format for the Moore event.
Students were encouraged to submit questions through the
Accent Web site. All questions submitted then were subject
to review by a panel comprised of student leaders and UF
administrators.
Based upon the above, the Accent decision was prob-
lematic on two fronts. First, the mere fact that student ques-
tions were subjected to screening amounts to censorship:
Moore could easily pick a question and decline to answer it
without UF intervention. Second, Moore did not answer a
single pre-submitted Accent question, instead opting to use
the entire speaking time to promote his own agenda.
As a former student senator, I attended the event with
the reasonable expectation that Moore would answer pre-
submitted questions. In the absence of questions, however,
the Accent event denigrated into nothing more than a stu-
dent-funded Democratic pep rally. Reasonably foreseeable,
Accent could have avoided this embarrassment by proper
choice of contract. Alternatively, Accent could have insisted
upon using the popular open-mike format.
UF should review and monitor these events more com-
prehensively and seek to take a more neutral stance toward
supporting politics.

Letters to the Editor
Pro-choice does not mean pro-abortion
Editor: In several places in Monday's
edition of the Alligator, pro-choice activists
and reproductive rights supporters were
referred to as "pro-abortion." This is a gross
misconception that needs clarification. The
term "pro-abortion" implies supporters of
abortion rights advocate abortions them-
selves. This is not at all true. People who
support a pro-choice platform do not cam-
paign in support of abortion in individual
cases; rather, pro-choice activists support
the safe and responsible use of available
contraceptive methods, including the morn-
ing-after pill. Pro-choice supporters believe
a woman's body should be under her own
jurisdiction and that the decision about
whether or not to carry a pregnancy to term
and thus bring a child into the world is one
that should be left among the woman, her
family and her doctor. It is for these reasons
supporters of reproductive rights are called
"pro-choice," because it is our belief that
every woman should be given choices and
be supported in whatever she decides. The
right to control one's own body is central
to the very ideas of liberty and self-deter-
mination, and women are entitled to these
rights, regardless of their age,-background
or income bracket.


Sara Hanson

Parenthood



Second poor headline misleads readers
Editor: You've got to be kidding me. As
if Thursday's mistaken "abortion" headline
wasn't bad enough, the Alligator has print-
ed yet another one. If I weren't so angry, I'd
find it funny to read, "The Alligator editors
all agreed after publication that the head-
line was poorly written," just five pages af-
ter another disgusting, mistaken headline.
Whoever's slipping in this propaganda
should be fired. It sure wouldn't fly in a
journalism class.
The morning-after pill is not abortion.
It should be available over the counter,
especially because the sooner it's taken, the
greater the chance it will be effective.
And, by the way, even if these brave,
awesome women had been protesting for
abortion rights, which they weren't, that
would make them "pro-choice,". not "pro-
abortion." I want to thank them for risking
so much for such an important cause.
Darcy Fawcett
4JM


Alligator still doesn't have it right
Editor: In light of the recent uproar
over the morning-after pill headline, I
was appalled on Monday when I read the
headline to a follow-up story about the
protesters in Maryland: "Local pro-abor-
tion protesters arrested."
Whether you are pro-life or pro-choice,
I think we can all agree we are against the
death of an unborn child. Pro-choice peo-
ple simply see the flaw in a law that would
limit the rights of a woman to her body
and rule out abortion in extreme cases like
rape and potential harm to the mother. The
notion that the opposite of pro-life is pro-
abortion or pro-death is ridiculous.
I don't know which stylebook the
Alligator adheres to, but the AP Stylebook
clearly states the term "pro-abortion"
should be avoided.
Furthermore, the Alligator has once
again missed the point the protesters were
making. These women cannot be labeled
"pro-abortion" when they were protesting
the FDA's blocking of the morning-after
pill, which has nothing to do with abor-
tion but instead prevents a woman from
ovulating.
In the future, your editors might want
to brush up on their ethics, style and


sexual education.

Tsunami relief effort deserves praise
Editor: The tsunami tragedy devastated
the world by taking thousands of lives. In
response, UF students quickly organized
to provide relief in Asia.
The day students returned to school for
Spring semester, an organized effort was
already in effect.
I witnessed motivated students collect-
ing money on Turlington Plaza to donate
to the relief efforts. Please take the time to
thank members of the Greek community
as well as Gators for Tsunami Relief for
their hard work.
Although the tsunami was a travesty,
seeing a campus community unite to pro-
vide relief efforts is inspiring.
Tonight, please take the time to attend a
candlelight vigil on the North Lawn begin-
ning at 6:30 to remember the lives lost and
admire the effort of our fellow students in
helping those in need.

OFF THE AVENUE

Film takes bizarre journey


* THE DIRECTOR EXEMPLIFIES HIS
OWN LIFE IN THE FILM.

By ANGIE DE ANGELS
Avenue Writer

Jonathan Caouette's film, "Tarnation,"
can best be compared to a bizarre mixture,
between a kaleidoscopic acid trip and old,
childhood home movies.
An emotionally jarring film, "Tarnation"
is the heartbreaking self-portrait of its
producer and director, Caouette, woven
together through a series of personal pieces
of the past. Old family photographs, video
diaries, audio recordings, home movies and
answering machine messages are blended
together to tell the story of one dysfunction-
al family and the bond between a mother
and son that grows out of it. "Tarnation" be-
gins in 2003, when Caouette, now an adult
living in New York, learns that his psy-
chologically ill mother has suffered from a
lithium overdose. Going back to his native
Texas to be with her, Caouette is faced again
with the terrible past he left behind.
As a result of an accident that left her
temporarily paralyzed, Caouette's mother,
Renee, suffered permanent mental damage
as a child after being subjected to shock
therapy to treat her paralysis.
Caouette and his ,mother live with his
grandparents, who later adopt the young
boy when his mentally unstable mother is


arrested and hospitalized.
Caouette grows up frightened and
confused, falling in with older boys who
catapult him into the world of drug abuse
and underground films. By the age of 13, he
is frequenting gay nightclubs and experi-
menting with hard drugs. Suicide attempts,
violence and psychotic breakdowns are the
norm.
At times, "Tarnation" becomes almost
too intense. Caouette presents his physical
and mental abuse bluntly, holding nothing
back from the audience.
However, as difficult as it may be to
watch this dark film, it is also inspirational.
Caouette's film proves that even in the most
depressing surroundings, the opportunity
for something better always exists.
The film's subject mirrors the actual
look of the film. Rough around the edges,
with its grainy film and surreal editing,
"Tarnation" perfectly reflects Caouette's
life. Pieced together to tell a story, the au-
thentic photographs and video make for a
twisted journey through the defeat of, and
escape from, abandonment and abuse.
"Tarnation" is winner of the 2004 Best
Documentary Award at the Los Angeles
Film Festival as well as official selection
of the Sundance, Cannes, Toronto, New
York and Chicago international film fes-
tivals. It will be playing now until Jan. 13
at the Hippodrome Cinema in downtown
Gainesville. For tickets and show times call

Duo does touchdown dance


BY DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer

A local duo has used their break-dancing
talent to slide one step closer to attending
the Super Bowl.
Last weekend at the Touchdown Dance
Competition outside the Publix on Main
Street, UF graduate Riyaana Hartley and
SFCC student Raul Quintana beat out 25
other contestants to win the Gainesville
preliminaries. Nearly 150 people attended.
The statewide contest, sponsored by
Frito-Lay in partnership with Publix, has
contestants demonstrate a 30-second touch-
down celebration. A final showdown is
held at the NFL Experience in Jacksonville
on Feb. 4, where the top five performers re-
ceive two tickets each and spending money
to attend the Super Bowl.
The local winners regularly attend Hip-
Hop Collective, a UF break-dancing club.

S"We really didn't practice for the event
very much," Hartley said. "We alternated
halves and planned for something big at
the end."
"We closed it off with a straddle leg in-
vert, and he kicked a field goal through my
legs," said Hartley.
"I'm really going to practice hard,
because going to the Super Bowl
is a once in a lifetime experience."

SThe duo received two Frito-Lay inscribed
watches for their performance, but are look-
ing forward to competing in Jacksonville on
a statewide level.
"I'm really going to practice hard," said
Hartley, "because going to the Super Bowl
is a once in a lifetime experience."

support President Bush.
The Commission is likely to review the al-
legation and the responses of the nine universi-
ties named in the original complaint, Associate
General Counsel Michael Ford said.
If the Commission believes an elections vio-
lation has occurred, it may begin an investiga-
tion and sue, Bernard stated in an e-mail.
However, she continued, the university
would have a chance to resolve the issue with
Commission staff before it went to court.

RECRUITING

UF prospects to appear in all-star game Saturday


By ERIC ESTEBAN
Alligator Writer
eesteban@alligator.org

Though Ron Zook might have been touted as one of the
nation's best recruiters during his tenure in Gainesville, after
the first big recruiting weekend, Coach Urban Meyer and staff
are making a run at the upper echelon of the recruiting world.
While UF didn't garner any verbal commitments this past
weekend, Meyer and Co. have sef the tone for the rest of the
recruiting season.
The Gators look to be in the national spotlight on Saturday
at the annual U.S. Army All-American Bowl. The game, broad-
cast live on NBC at'l p.m., will play host to some of the top tal-
ent in the nation including some of the weekend's visitors.
Chris Scott, ranked the No. 10 offensive lineman in the na-
tion by Scout.com, was one of the visitors who will announce
his intentions at the game. At 6-foot-4 and 315 pounds, Scott
has the quick feet and frame to be a dominating guard at the


next level.
"I went to Florida thinking I was going to Tennessee," Scott
said. "I left Gainesville and now I am torn between them."
Even before his official visit, New York City wide receiver
Nyan Boateng announced that there was a 90 percent chance
he could end up'at UF Though Boateng will make his decision -
public at the game, he remained impressed following his time
at UE
"I give [my visit] a 10. I really liked it.while I
was up there."
Richard Gordon
UF recruit


"The visit was unbelievable; it's a college town," Boateng
said. "The football is great, the academics are outstanding and
the coaching staff was real cool."


Richard Gordon, a defensive end from Miami who is en-
tertaining offers from Oklahoma, Louisiana State aid Florida
State, could also end up in orange and blue come February.
Gordon said he has narrowed his decision between Miami
and UF, but with the Hurricanes only having two scholarships
left to offer, it is probable that he will be squeezed out of that
picture.
"I give [my visit] a 10," said Gordon of his time in
Gainesville. "I really liked it while I was up there."
Gordon's visit provided enough reason to cancelmis sched-
uled trip to Tallahassee. Another factor that favors UF is what
Gordon is looking for in a school.
"I would definitely like to be in a college atmosphere over a
big city," he said.
Among others who visited were linebacker Darryl Gresham
Jr., offensive lineman Curtis Crouch and 6-foot-8, 330-pound
defensive tackle Jared Gaither.
Oral commitments are non-binding until a national letter of
intent is signed on National Signing Day on Feb. 2.


Lee, Roberson not feeling pressure without Walsh, th

BASKETBALL, from page 16


Matt Marriott Alligator Siart
The Gators still want guard Matt Walsh back, but the junior may not be the
same player when he returns, Coach Billy Donovan said.


TE was drafted in 19th round


"I'd like to be able to play a year without
something like that happening, but I think we
have. to be realistic," Donovan said. "If you go
through a season and have guys stay healthy
and not get injured, you're very fortunate."

FRESHMEN VETERANS: With Walsh out and ju-
nior Adrian Moss seeing limited time with a
back injury, the pressure to produce seemingly
would transfer to UF's remaining upperclass-
men senior forward David Lee and junior
guard Anthony Roberson.
Lee, however, said that he and Roberson
have never conspired to, increase their roles.
That's because they never felt it was a neces-
sity.
"I think if we weren't confident in our
younger guys, we might have that talk and say,
'You know, Roberson, I'm not sure Al Horford
and Corey Brewer are that good. We need to
step up and take over,"' Lee said. "But those
guys have been playing so solid.
"I feel like I'm playing with veterans out


anks to freshmen
there on the floor."
In UF's 82-74 win against Arkansas on;
Saturday, the freshmen five Brewer, Horford,.
Taurean Green, Joakim Noah and Cornelius
Ingram accounted for 36 points.
Donovan, however, says that his youngsters'
acclimation process is far from finished and can
become overbearing at times.
"They've taken some time off my life,"
Donovan joked.

PARKER TO APPEAR: Former UF player and
coaching assistant Major Parker will make his
first appearance before a federal magistrate to-
day, said Jerry Sanford, spokesman for the U.S.
Attorney in Gainesville.
According to Sanford, Parker will ap-
pear at 10 a.m. before Federal Magistrate
Alan Kornblum at the Federal Courthouse in
Gainesville, where he will receive a trial date.
Parker-was arrested at the Oaks Mall on
Dec. 7 and indicted on one count of conspiracy
to distribute and possession with the intent to
distribute more than 500 grams of cocaine and
five counts of distributing cocaine by a federal
grand jury in Tallahassee on Jan. 4.


CASEY, from page 16


"When it comes to weights and
running, I'll be doing everything for
football," Casey said. "The deal is I
gotta maintain my weight for football.
I gotta maintain a certain weight,
obviously get strength in the weight
room when it comes to off-season
workouts and be good, not miss my
weight times and stuff like that. If I
have to miss one for pitching, or if I
have to start or something or pitch, I
have to be good about making up my
workouts not miss anything."
The 6-foot-6, 219-pound right
hander was clocked at 94 MPH in a
national high school baseball show-
case in Nebraska. He describes his
curveball as having a 1 o'clock to 7
o'clockbreak.
"I got recruited by Coach Mac for
baseball at the end of my junior year,
starting the summer after my junior
year," Casey said. "Football recruit-
ing started right before my senior
year started. From there, I went on a
recruiting trip, committed, and that's
whatbrought me-here. ---


"I think that's the only reason I
looked at the schools I looked at, be-
cause they offered two scholarships,
football and baseball," he- said. "Or
they were recruiting me in two sports,
where I could walk on in baseball."
Casey tallied 145 strikeouts and a
12-16 record in high school.-
McMahon will wait until the sea-
son begins before
deciding how to
h, use Casey this sea-
son, while adhering
to the agreement
with the football
program.
"Obviously a
casey pitcher's arrange-
ments are going to
be a little bit different because of the
workout plans and such," McMahon
said. "We want to stay in tune, par-
ticularly with the new coaching staff
and a new system." ,
Casey was drafted by the
Minnesota Twins in the 19th round of
the 2004 Major League Draft. Prior to
his senior year at Longview High, he
was rated as the 28th-best high school
prospect in' the nation by Baseball
America.


CONTROL, from page 16

years of success and a trip to the Sweet 16,
Rampant corruption put a dark cloud over the
program.
UF coach Norm Sloan would eventually
resign, but it was Maxwell who became the
scapegoat. Bill Arnsparger, UF's athletics
director at the time, claimed that Maxwell ac-
cepted money from an agent.
His decision? Keep Maxwell's first two
seasons in the books but erase the final two.
the logic? Exactly. There is none.
It comes down to this: you can hate Vernon
Maxwell all you want, but there's no denying
that he is UF's scoring king. It's like erasing
Pete Rose's hits from the record books.
Ban Rose from the Hall of Fame. I won't
object. But can you imagine the outcry if Ty
Cobb (not a lovable character himself) was
restored as the hit king?
I spoke to Jeremy Foley in December, and
the current athletics director said only that
Maxwell's banishment was a decision made
by Arnsparger and that Foley has yet to find
time to review the case. Well here's an ulti-
matum, Mr. Foley: if you really want to keep
Maxwell's 21 points per game from 1986-88


out of the record books, than you must stop
acknowledging UF's NCAA Tournament ap-
pearances those same seasons.
In 1988, it was Maxwell's last-second shot
that downed St. John's in the opening round.
How can you justify- keeping records from
that game if Maxwell's game-winning points
don't exist?
There's an easy solution. Don't invite
Maxwell to alumni dinners. Keep his throw-
back jerseys out of the UF bookstore. But
please, restore his records.
Keeping Maxwell out of the record books
is not fair to UF, not fair to the fans and most of
all, not fair to Ronnie Williams. Williams, who
graduated from UF a year before Maxwell ar-
rived, knows in his heart that Maxwell scored
: the most points. Answering questions about
his "scoring record" must be embarrassing.
I'll never defend Vernon Maxwell, the
man. Just last year, Maxwell sat in an Alachua
County jail after failing to pay child support.
He's been arrested more than once on charges
of domestic abuse.
I imagine there's much more of Maxwell's
dreadful life we'll never know about.
What we do know is that no one in Gators
history comes close to touching Maxvwll's
scoring record.

The return to the baseball dia-

end that played in 12 games for
the UF football team, catching eight
passes for 127) ard- and four touch-
downs. There \ a-s lmcertaint-, about
whether new head coach Urban
Meyer would approve such a move:
"I talked to [Meyer] Thursday,

Injury bug befalls Gators


By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
happ@alligator.org

The Gators would like nothing more
than to have a season free from key inju-
ries or team defections.
From Brent "Wright's foot to Teddv
Dupay's back to Justin Hamilton's knee to
Christian Drejer's European repatriation,
it seems that Coach Billy Donovan has
lacked a season without nmajo complica-
tions since the 2000 squad that made it to
the championship game.
And with forward Matt Walsh out for
at least a month, barring a "miraculous
discovery," as Donovan said, this season
is no different.
Walsh, who has worn a black walking
boot since suffering a severe ankle sprain


during a Dec. 30 practice, had the boot re-
moved Monday.
Donovan said Walsh can't run but can
walk without the boot and that trainers
_fitted him with an air cast that fits inside
his shoe.
Despite the fact that he is "getting bet-
ter," Donovan said not to expect too much
from Walsh when he finally returns.
"Matt Walsh will not be" Matt Walsh
the rest of this year," Donovan said. "You
have to understand that this is an injury
that will take him until the end of the sea-
son to get back to the way he is capable of
pla, ing
SWhile the recent plague of injuries has
become tiresome for Donovan, he said it's
somewhat expected.

Maxwell's career deserving


Ve lemon Maxwell is a woman-
abusing, drug-using deadbeat
dad.
Vernon Maxwell is also UF basket-
ball's all-time leading scorer.
While the first statement is up for
debate (although he's been convicted
on all three counts), the second state-
ment is a fact but UF would like you
to think otherwise.
. Take a look atpage 112 of this year's
media guide. Standing boldly as UF's

None have experience as a provost, a university's No. 2 administrator, as the committee seeks a rising star. "We were looking for someone who had academic leadership experience but also someone who wasn't moving laterally," said Douglas Barrett, senior vice president for health affairs and committee chairman. George H. Atkinson, Cristina Gonzalez, Richard J. Hoffmann, Pramod P Khargonekar, Virginia Sapiro and Mark H. Thiemens will come to UF in early February for interviews. The goal will be to pick three possible provosts to recommend to UF President Benie Machen, who will make the final decision, Barrett said. But nothing is certain, he said. Those rejected Monday could be reconsidered later. Or new candidates may pop up. Or some may drop out of the race because of other job offers or a change of heart. "This is an ongoing and open process," he said. While most of the hopefuls are currently working as administrators or professors at universities around the country, the search also drew a U.S. Department of State senior adviser for science and technology. Atkinson, who is on leave as a professor of chemistry and optical. sciences at the University of Arizona, has worked under Secretary of State Colin Powell since 2002. Thus, Atkinson is being recruited by many schools and is a "hot item," said Jerry Baker, a partner with Baker-Parker, the firm that UF hired to help with the search process. "This is an ongoing and open process." Douglas Barrett Provost search committee chairman Atkinson was one of the first to be chosen for a follow-up interview. The committee also praised the goals of Gonzalez, a professor and senior advisor to the chancellor at the University of California at Davis. The discussion centered around the cover letter in her resume, part of which concentrates on increasing diversity. "She talks not just about diversity in the past but about diversity in the future," said Dennis Ngin, Student Body treasurer. Committee members also discussed whether the new provost should be from another oniversity when they considered Khargonekar, dean of UF College of Engineering. Mixed with strong praises for his qualifications and knowledge of the ,university's system were questions of whether he would bring new ideas and perspectives to UP. "This is an opportunity to bring in fresh blood from outside," UF professor Ben Dunn said. All 12 hopefuls discussed Monday were the "cream of the crop," Barrett said. "That speaks well of UF," he said. E Before tight end Tate Casey gets to snag passes from Chris Leak in spring practices, he'll be zipping fastballs on the diamond.

By JENNIFER REISS Alligator Contributing Writer Representatives from area charities and schools lined the stairs of Tigert Hall on Monday afternoon to accept $12,000 from the brothers of Phi Beta Sigma fraternity. The money was raised during the fraternity's 22nd annual Blue and White Weekend, held July 410. With events such as exhibition step shows, a free barbecue, a gospel extravaganza and a basketball tournament, the furdraiser attracted about 10,000 guests from all over the nation, member Marvin Prier said. "Afterward, we get together and brainstorm ideas about who we think will benefit most," Prier said. "The plan for the next blow-out weekend starts after the first one's finished."

Undergraduate, in-state tuition could rise 5-7 percent this year, with graduate and out-of-state tuition rising faster, said John Newman, staff director of the Senate Education Appropriations Committee. The legislature raised in-state tuition by 8.5 percent in 2003 and 7.5 percent in 2004, and hiked out-of-state tuition 12.5 percent lasf year -to $15,827 a year in UF tuition and fees for 30 credits. A 5-7 percent increase for in-state students would actually be smaller than that being sought by Florida's universities, including UP, which want to raise tuition nearer to the national average of about $5,132 a year. bring in-state tuition up to the national average. But the state defrays about three-quarters of the cost of in-state tuition, and ponies up the balance for students with Bright Futures scholarships or those enrolled in the prepaid tuition program. So when the legislature agrees to increase tuition, it essentially raises its own bill, Newman said. "I think that if the legislature made increases, for a percentage of every dollar of that they'll have to finance Bright Futures, and they'll also be mindful of what kind of increase the prepaid tuition fund can sustain," he said. Out-of-state and graduate tuition, however, is not covered by those programs and would be easier for the legislature to increase even beyond 7 percent, Newman added. UF President Bernie Machen has said he wants UP to have the power to set its own tuition, a power currently held by the state governs its 11 public universities --beginning with the disbandment of the Board of Regents in 2000, the establishment of university boards of trustees and the re-establishment of a state Board of Governors by a 2002 constitutional amendment York -has embroiled universities in state politics and left the question of who controls higher education in confusion. "The issue of whether the universities or the legislature sets tuition is all tied up with that deal of who's in charge," Newman said. That question likely will be decided by a lawsuit filed Dec. 21 by former UF interim president E.T. York and Jon Mills, dean emeritus of UF's Levin College of Law. The suit seeks to restore centralized control ment of new academic programs. Michael O'Farrell, staff director of the Senate Education Comnittee, said depending on the suit's outcome, the legislature will get an indication of who has authority over what. But whether the lawsuit will succeed, "I have no idea," he said. Towson Fraser, -spokesman for House Speaker Allan Bense, said the outcome of the suit would have a "big impact" on what the legislature does for higher education this year. Also this session, House leaders want to create "incentives" for students who graduate within four years, he said. Block tuition, for which fill-time students would pay the same tuition costs whether they enrolled for 12, 15 or 18 credit hours, is one option that interests Bense, Fraser said. "It's six years that some students are staying in school, and that affects the budget," he said.

Kameg said the house might be vacant, as utilities were turned off. Kameg said detectives could not determine if any items had been taken.

Arar Han, co-editor of the recently published "Asian American X: An Intersection of Twenty-First Century Asian American Voices," spoke to about 65 students in the Reitz Union on Monday. The book features 35 essays from college-aged students, including a UF graduate student, and depicts a variety of experiences from within the Asian-American community. "This is a pretty revolutionary book," said Mark Villegas, president of the Asian Student Union, which hosted Han. The book stands out from most other available resources, he said, in that it addresses the concerns of a younger generation. "This is us creating our own identity, our own culture," he said. Han told the crowd the idea for the book took shape after several events pushed her and co-editor John Hsu to more closely examine issues of identity and stereotypes when they were college sophomores. They began contacting universities in search of essayists representing a variety of experiences, viewpoints and socioeconomic backgrounds. "The question of what AsianAmerican is, is an open one," she said. Han said she and Hsu were careful to preserve the originality of the essayists' words, opting not to alter the works for grammar or style. "They're really intelligent essays," she said. "They make a pretty good bedside read." In an interview after the speech, Han said she learned something from all the contributors. "The diversity of experiences really surprised me," she said. "We can't help but assume what we know is what is out there." In that way, many of the essays opened Han up to circumstances that differed from her own, she said. Francine Di, a UF graduate student studying music, wrote "The Jazzian Singer" as an undergraduate at Rice University. Her essay discusses the absence of Asian-American singers in U.S. culture. Di said the essays in the book will touch many, as everyone struggles with similar emotions.

6,MALIGiATOR E TUESDAY, JANUAkY it 2005 Editorial SG Elections Access to be an issue in more ways than one Student access to Student Government is emerging as the key issue in an SG election season already marked by political shenanigans. .In a nod to old-school, mudslinging politics, the access issue became literal when one UF student snatched away the name of the incumbent SG party and fled off into the night. Of course, there is a certain amount of merit in Michael Shrine's message, if not his methods. UF still is waiting for a party that will fully open itself up to all students, and Access' challengers are ready to exploit this fact. While Access has performed admirably in accomplishing many of its goals, there still exists a tangible barrier between SG and its constituents. Unfortunately, the party's platform promises that would have helped remove this barrier have been neglected. One of those that didn't work out was SGTV, a program through which all senate meetings would have been broadcast on Campus Cable TV and online. Similarly,'the proposed "Fireside Chomps" would have gone a long way toward improving SG-student relations. These addresses by SG President Jamal Sowell would have given students a valuable chance to have their leader explain to them the state of affairs in SG and the university that month. Despite these missteps, however, things look promising for the future. While far cry from the lofty ideals of Access' party platform, the current plan to have SG audio updates available on the Internet is a step in the right direction. And whether it has been for political reasons or a genuine interest in the students, Access has stepped up efforts to deliver as many of its promises as possible before the election. However, the party must convince the students it is still dedicated to its pledge of increasing access if they want to succeed. Shrine's faux Access Party is only one of an increasingly large pool of groups seeking to push the envelope forward on the issue of opening up SG by attempting to break the Greek stranglehold on the highest offices. One of the other anti-Greek parties, the Strike Force -Party, could be a strong contender. Their presidential candidate Zach Huddleston has experience with the Student Alliance Party, and the members of the Theatre Strike Force have proved to be masters of advertising and propaganda. It's likely they will be able to garner sizeable support from students who normally might not have voted. And with seven parties already announced and atleast a few more in the wings, the time is ripe for an upset-as the vote can get split when students don't have -clear frontrunners to choose from. Last semester's elections were evidence enough of this, .as the Keg Party's introduction into the race led to a run-off Access victory over the incumbent Innovate party. Though some of these contenders' chances may seem far-fetched against a party that essentially swept the Fall election, this semester looks to be wacky enough that anything could happen.

O'Connell Center prior to Michael Moore's speech during the student-funded Accent speaking event. Dem Tags, which bear prominent pro-Kerry/anti-Bush messages, were sold for $10 each in substantial quantities. According to product literature distributed at the O'Cornell Center and posted on www.demtags.com, net proceeds from the sale of this partisan merchandise were to be donated to organizations dedicated to getting out the vote and furthering Democratic causes. Viewed as a direct or indirect political contribution, the sale of this partisan merchandise within a governmentally owned building potentially violates Florida Statue 106.15 (4). Regardless, this clearly-partisan political activity should not have been allowed within the O'Connell Center during a studentfunded event. Upon being advised of this situation by other students, I discussed the matter with O'Connell Center Director Lionel Dubay. No initial action was taken to address these concerns.I was told "the vendor was allowed to be there." The director subsequently advised me the vendor was requested to stop selling the tags. This occurred just before Moore began to speak. The vendor, however, was allowed to stay in the main arena of the O'Connell Center in lieu of being removed from the premises. These events clearly illustrate what UF allowed to happen within a state-funded university facility, during' a student-funded speaking engagement. Similarly, the O'Connell Center openly accepted political contributions for America Coming Together, a political action committee, by selling unclaimed seats during the "Vote for Change" ALLIGATOR www.aIigator.org/opinions was inappropriate Nathan A. concert event a few days later. Skop The bottom line is UF is not as Speaking Out squeaky clean as it has led people to believe. UF should openly admit what actually happened and provide an affirmative statement that it is not the role of a state flagship university to actively support partisan politics. Additionally, with respect to the Accent event itself, Accent has a rich history of bringing prominent and controversial speakers to UP. It should be commended for this re-cord. But in lieu of the traditional open mike format, it adopted a pre-submitted question format for the Moore event. Students were encouraged to submit questions through the Accent Web site. All questions submitted then were subject to review by a panel comprised of student leaders and UF administrators. Based upon the above, the Accent decision was problematic on two fronts. First, the mere fact that student questions were subjected to screening amounts to censorship: Moore could easily pick a question and decline to answer it without UF intervention. Second, Moore did not answer a single pre-submitted Accent question, instead opting to use the entire speaking time to promote his own agenda. As a former student senator, I attended the event with the reasonable expectation that Moore would answer presubmitted questions. In the absence of questions, however, the Accent event denigrated into nothing more than a student-funded Democratic pep rally. Reasonably foreseeable, Accent could have avoided this embarrassment by proper choice of contract. Alternatively, Accent could have insisted upon using the popular open-mike format. UF should review and monitor these events more comprehensively and seek to take a more neutral stance toward supporting politics. Nttatn A. Skop is a second-year late stttdent.

This is a gross misconception that needs clarification. The term "pro-abortion" implies supporters of abortion rights advocate abortions themselves. This is not at all .true. People who support a pro-choice platform do not campaign in support of abortion in individual cases; rather, pro-choice activists support the safe and responsible use of available contraceptive methods, including the morning-after pill. Pro-choice supporters believe a woman's body should be under her own jurisdiction and that the 'decision about whether or not to carry a pregnancy to term and thus bring a child into the world is one that should be left among the woman, her family and her doctor. It is for these reasons supporters of reproductive rights are called "pro-choice," because it is our belief that every woman should be given choices and be supported in whatever she decides. The right to control one's own body is central to the very ideas of liberty and self-determination, and women are entitled to these rights, regardless of their age,-background or income bracket. Sara Hanson Vice President, Vox: Voices for Planned Parenthood Second poor headline misleads readers Editor: You've got to be kidding me. As if Thursday's mistaken "abortion" headline wasn't bad enough, the Alligator has printed yet another one. If I weren't so angry, I'd find it funny to read, "The Alligator editors all agreed after publication that the headline was poorly written," just five pages after another disgusting, mistaken headline. Whoever's slipping in this propaganda should be fired. It sure wouldn't fly in a journalism class. The morning-after pill is not abortion. It should be available over the counter, especially because the sooner it's taken, the greater the chance it will be effective. And, by the way, even if these brave, awesome women had been protesting for abortion rights, Which they weren't, that would make them "pro-choice,". not "proabortion." I want to thank them for risking so much for such an important cause. Darcy Fawcett 4JM Alligator still doesn't have it right Editor: In light of the recent uproar over the morning-after pill headline, I was appalled on Monday when I read the headline to a follow-up story about the protesters in Maryland: "Local pro-abortion protesters arrested." Whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, I think we can all agree we are against the death of an unborn child. Pro-choice people simply see the flaw in a law that would limit the rights of a woman to her body and rule out abortion in extreme cases like rape and potential harm to the mother. The notion that the opposite of pro-life is proabortion or pro-death is ridiculous. I don't know which stylebook the Alligator adheres to, but the AP Stylebook clearly states the term "pro-abortion" should be avoided. Furthermore, the Alligator has once again missed the point the protesters were making. These women cannot be labeled "pro-abortion" when they were protesting the FDA's blocking of the morning-after pill, which has nothing to do with abortion but instead prevents a woman from ovulating In the future, your editors might want to brush up on their ethics, style and sexual education. Danielle Lucey 3JM Tsunami relief effort deserves praise Editor: The tsunami tragedy devastated the world by taking thousands of lives. In response, UF students quickly organized to provide relief in Asia. The day students returned to school for Spring semester, an organized effort was already in effect. I witnessed motivated students collecting money on Turlington Plaza to donate to the relief efforts. Please take the time to thank members of the Greek community as well as Gators for Tsunami Relief for their hard work. Although the tsunami was a travesty, seeing a campus community unite to provide relief efforts is inspiring. Tonight, please take the time to attend a candlelight vigil on the North Lawn beginning at 6:30 to remember the lives lost and admire the effort of our fellow students in helping those in need.

8, ALLIGATOR N TUESDAY, JANUARY 11, 2005 OFF THE AVENUE Film takes bizarre journey THE DIRECTOR EXEMPLIFIES HIS OWN LIFE IN THE FILM. By ANGIE DE ANGELIS Avenue Writer Jonathan Caouette's film, "Tarnation," can best be compared to a bizarre mixture between a kaleidoscopic acid trip and old, childhood home movies. An emotionally jarring film, "Tarnation" is the heartbreaking self-portrait of its producer and director, Caouette, woven together through a series of personal pieces of the past. Old family photographs, video diaries, audio recordings, home movies and answering machine messages are blended together to tell the story of one dysfunctional family and the bond between a mother and son that grows out of it. "Tarnation" begins in 2003, when Caouette, now an adult living in New York, learns that his psychologically ill mother has suffered from a lithium overdose. Going back to his native Texas to be with her, Caouette is faced again with the terrible past he, left behind. As a result of an accident that left her temporarily paralyzed, Caouette's mother, Renee, suffered permanent mental damage as a child after being subjected to shock therapy to treat her paralysis. Caouette and his .mother live with his grandparents, who later adopt the young boy when his mentally unstable mother is arrested and hospitalized. Caouette grows up frightened and confused, falling in with older boys who catapult him into the world of drug abuse and underground films. By the age of 13, he is frequenting gay nightclubs and experimenting with hard drugs. Suicide attempts, violence and psychotic breakdowns are the norm. At times, "Tarnation" becomes almost too intense. Caouette presents his physical and mental abuse bluntly, holding nothing back from the audience. However, as difficult as it may be to watch this dark film, it is also inspirational. Caouette's film proves that even in the most depressing surroundings, the opportunity for something better always exists. The film's subject mirrors the actual look of the film. Rough around the edges, with its grainy film and surreal editing, "Tarnation" perfectly reflects Caouette's life. Pieced together to tell a story, the authentic photographs and video make for a twisted journey through the defeat of, and escape from, abandonment and abuse. "Tarnation" is winner of the 2004 Best Documentary Award at the Los Angeles Film Festival as well as official selection of the Sundance, Cannes, Toronto, New York and Chicago international film festivals. It will be playing now until Jan. 13 at the Hippodrome Cinema in downtown Gainesville. For tickets and show times call 375-HIPP. Duo does touchdown dance BY DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer A local duo has used their break-dancing talent to slide one step closer to attending the Super Bowl. Last weekend at the Touchdown Dance Competition outside the Publix on Main Street, UP graduate Riyaana Hartley and SFCC student Raul Quintana beat out 25 other contestants to win the Gainesville preliminaries. Nearly 150 people attended. The statewide contest, sponsored by Frito-Lay in partnership with Publix, has contestants demonstrate a 30-second touchdown celebration. A final showdown is held at the NFL Experience in Jacksonville on Feb. 4, where the top five performers receive two tickets each and spending money to attend the Super Bowl. The local winners regularly attend HipHop Collective, a UF break-dancing club. "We really didn't practice for the event very much," Hartley said. "We alternated halves and planned for something big at the end." "We closed it off with a straddle leg invert, and he kicked a field goal through my legs," said Hartley. "I'm really going to practice hard, because going to the Super Bowl is a once in a lifetime experience." Riyanna Hartley Dance competition winner The duo received two Frito-Lay inscribed watches for their performance, but are looking forward to competing in Jacksonville on a statewide level. "I'm really going to practice hard," said Hartley, "because going to the Super Bowl is a once in a lifetime experience." Casey Anderson / Alligator Staff Warm fun in the winter sun Charlie Cookerly serves a volleyball to her friends at the Southwest Recreation Center Sunday. The group took advantage of the warm mid-January afternoon, wearing bathing suits as the temperature reached 81 degrees. Accent refutes any Moore wrongdoing FEC, from page I vote and vote for Kerry. Accent, Student Govenment's speaker's bureau, paid Moore $40,000 of student money and $10,000 for transportation and security. "There has never been an intention to sway students either way," Accent Chairman David Buchalter said. "That's why we bring a balanced set of speakers." New York Gov. George Pataki spoke at UF later that month and urged the audience to support President Bush. The Commission is likely to review the allegation and the responses of the nine universities named in the original complaint, Associate General Counsel Michael Ford said. If the Commission believes an elections violation has occurred, it may begin an investigation and sue, Bernard stated in an e-mail. However, she continued, the university would have a chance to resolve the issue with Commission staff before it went to court. New Treadmills. Free Workout with this ad!

TUESDAY, JANUARY 11, 2005 K ALLIGATOR, 15 RECRUITING UF prospects to appear in all-star game Saturday By ERIC ESTEBAN Alligator Writer eesteban@aliigator.org Though Ron Zook might have been touted as one of the nation's best recruiters during his tenure in Gainesville, after the first big recruiting weekend, Coach Urban Meyer and staff are making a run at the upper echelon of the recruiting world. While UF didn't gamer any verbal conunitments this past weekend, Meyer and Co. have set the tone for the rest of the recruiting season. The Gators look to be in the national spotlight on Saturday at the annual U.S. Army All-American Bowl. The game, broadcast live on NBC at 1 p.m., will play host to some of the top talent in the nation -including some of the weekend's visitors. Chris Scott, ranked the No. 10 offensive lineman in the nation by Scout.com, was one of the visitors who will announce his intentions at the game. At 6-foot-4 and 315 pounds, Scott has the quick feet and frame to be a dominating guard at the next level. "I went to Florida thinking I was going to said. "I left Gainesville and now I am torn be Even before his official visit, New York C Nyan Boateng announced that there was a he could end up at UF. Though Boateng will public at the game, he remained impressed at U. I give [my visit] a 10. I really lik was up there." "The visit was unbelievable; it's a colleg said. "The football is great, the academics are the coaching staff was real cool." Richard Gordon, a defensive end from Miami who is enTennessee," Scott tertaining offers from Oklahoma, Louisiana State add Florida tween them." State, could also end up in orange and blue come February. ity wide receiver Gordon said he has narrowed his decision between Miami 90 percent chance and UF, but with the Hurricanes only having two scholarships make his decision -left to offer, it is probable that he will be squeezed out of that ollowing his time picture. "I give [my visit] a 10," said Gordon of his time in Gainesville. "I really liked it while I was up there." ed it while I Gordon's visit provided enough reason to canceLlis scheduled trip to Tallahassee. Another factor that favors UF is what Richard Gordon Gordon is looking for in a school. UF recruit "I would definitely like to be in a college atmosphere over a big city," he said. Among others who visited were linebacker Darryl Gresham e town," Boateng Jr., offensive lineman Curtis Crouch and 6-foot-8, 330-pound t B defensive tackle Jared Gaither. outstanding and Oral commitments are non-binding until a national letter of intent is signed on National Signing Day on Feb. 2. Lee, Roberson not feeling pressure without Walsh, thanks to freshmen Matt Marriott/ Alligator Staff The Gators still want guard Matt Walsh back, but the junior may not be the same player when he returns, Coach Billy Donovan said. TE was drafted in 19th round CASEY from page 16 "When it comes to weights and running, I'll be doing everything for football," Casey said. "The deal is I gotta maintain my weight for football. I gotta maintain a certain weight, obviously get strength in the weight room when it comes to off-season workouts and be good, not miss my weight times and stuff like that. If I have to miss one for pitching, or if I have to start or something or pitch, I have to be good about making up my workouts -not miss anything." The 6-foot-6, 219-pound right hander was clocked at 94 MPH in a national high school baseball showcase in Nebraska. He describes his curveball as having a 1 o'clock to 7 o'clock break. "I got recruited by Coach Mac for baseball at the end of my junior year, starting the summer after my junior year," Casey said. "Football recruiting started right before my senior year started. From there, I went on a recruiting trip, committed, and that's what brought me here. "I think that's the only reason I looked at the schools I looked at, because they offered two scholarships, football and baseball," he said. "Or they were recruiting me in two sports, where I could walk on in baseball." Casey tallied 145 strikeouts and a 12-16 record in high school. McMahon will wait until the season begins before deciding how to use Casey this season, while adhering to the agreement with the football program. "Obviously a casey pitcher's arrangements are going to be a little bit different because of the workout plans and such," McMahon said. "We want to stay in tune, particularly with the new coaching staff and a new system." Casey was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the 19th round of the 2004 Major League Draft. Prior to his senior year at Longview High, he was rated as the 28th-best high school prospect in the nation by Baseball America. BASKETBALL, from page 16 "I'd like to be able to play a year without something like that happening, but I think we have to be realistic," Donovan said. "If you go through a season and have guys stay healthy and not get injured, you're very fortunate." FRESHMEN VETERANS: With Walsh out and junior Adrian Moss seeing limited time with a back injury, the pressure to produce seemingly would transfer to UF's remaining upperclassmen -senior forward David Lee and junior guard Anthony Roberson. Lee, however, said that he and Roberson have never conspired to increase their roles. That's because they never felt it was a necessity. "I think if we weren't confident in our younger guys, we might have that talk and say, 'You know, Roberson, I'm not sure Al Horford and Corey Brewer are that good. We need to step up and take over,"' Lee said. "But those guys have been playing so solid. "I feel like I'm playing with veterans out CONTROL from page 16 years of success and a trip to the Sweet 16, rampant corruption put a dark cloud over the program. UF coach Norm Sloan would eventually resign, but it was Maxwell who became the scapegoat. Bill Arnsparger, UF's athletics director at the time, claimed that Maxwell accepted money from an agent. His decision? Keep Maxwell's first two seasons in the books but erase the final two. The logic? Exactly. There is none. It comes down to this: you can hate Vernon Maxwell all you want, but the-e's no denying that he is UF's scoring king. It's like erasing Pete Rose's hits from the record books. Ban Rose from the Hall of Fame. I won't object. But can you imagine the outcry if Ty Cobb (not a lovable character himself) was restored as the hit king? I spoke to Jeremy Foley in December, and the current athletics director said only that Maxwell's banishment was a decision made by Arnsparger and that Foley has yet to find time to review the case. Well here's an ultimatum, Mr. Foley: if you really want to keep Maxwell's 21 points per game from 1986-88 there on the floor." In UF's 82-74 win against Arkansas on Saturday, the freshmen five -Brewer, Horford, Taurean Green, Joakim Noah and Cornelius Ingram -accounted for 36 points. .Donovan, however, says that his youngsters' acclimation process is far from finished and can become overbearing at times. "They've taken some time off my life," Donovan joked. PARKER TO APPEAR: Former UF player and coaching assistant Major Parker will make his first appearance before a federal magistrate today, said Jerry Sanford, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney in Gainesville. According to Sanford, Parker will appear at 10 a.m. before Federal Magistrate Alan Kornblum at the Federal Courtmouse in Gainesville, where he will receive a trial date. Parker was arrested at the Oaks Mall on Dec. 7 and indicted on one count of conspiracy to distribute and possession with the intent to distribute more than 500 grams of cocaine and five counts of distributing cocaine by a federal grand jury in Tallahassee on Jan. 4. out of the record books, than you must stop acknowledging UF's NCAA Tournament appearances those same seasons. In 1988, it was Maxwell's last-second shot that downed St. John's in the opening round. How can you justify. keepirtg records from that game if Maxwell's game-whining points don't exist? There's an easy solution. Don't invite Maxwell to alumni diners. Keep his throwback jerseys out of the UF bookstore. But please, restore his records. Keeping Maxwell out of the record books is not fair to UF, not fair to the fans and most of all, not fair to Ronnie Williams. Williams, who graduated from UF a year before Maxwell arrived, knows in his heart that Maxwell scored the most points. Answering questions about his "scoring record" must be embarrassing. I'll never defend Vernon Maxwell, the man. Just last year, Maxwell sat in an Alachua County jail after failing to pay child support. He's been arrested more than once on charges of domestic abuse. I imagine there's much more of Maxwell's dreadful life we'll never know about. What we do know is that no one in Gators history comes close to touching Maxwell's scoring record.

Sports TUESDAY, JANUARY 11, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.aIIigator.org/sports Tight end By TIM CASEY Alligator Writer tcasey@aiiigator.org For UF tight end Tate Casey, football can wait. At least for now. Casey began working out with teammates during informal practices without coaches on Monday. He donned a new set of cleats, a blue Florida Baseball T-shirt and orange pair of shorts while he practiced with jior transfer Chris Woods and freshmen Bryson Barber and Thad M c B u r r o w s McMahon at McKethan Stadium. The group played catch and pitched light batting practice to each other. Casey hit several sharp line drives after saying he had not touched a bat since his high school season ended last spring in Texas. The return to the baseball diamond ends rumors about the tight end that played in 12 games for the UF football team, catching eight passes for 127 yards and four touchdowns. There was uncertainty about whether new head coach Urban Meyer would approve such a move. "I talked to [Meyer] Thursday, Casey starts last week. Coach [Pat McMahon] was out of town. I told him I'd get back to him after I talked to Coach Meyer," Casey said. Meyer was a 13th-round pick in the 1982 Major League Baseball Draft as a shortstop and played two years in the Atlanta Braves organization. "I think me and him think alike when it comes to sports, because he played two sports," Casey said. "He's a football/baseball kind of guy. He's a competitor, and I think in my mind I'm a competitor when it comes to two sports, just liking to compete. "I said 'I like to compete, I want to play. Here was the arrangement me and Zook had, and I'd be grateful if you let me go out for both sports,' and he was grateful enough to let me," Casey said. Meyer's decision to allow Casey to play baseball does not relieve him of any of his football obligations. "For the most part, I have to make spring [football] practices, so I have to be out for spring, which is fine," Casey said. "Everything we agreed on has to happen. "When you're on a team with Coach Meyer, everything has to happen. If it doesn't I'll be back over at football," he laughed. Before SEE CASEY, PAGE 15 fastball By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org The Gators would like nothing more than to have a season free from key injuries or team defections. From Brent Wright's foot to Teddy Dupay's back to Justin Hamilton's knee to Christian Drejer's European repatriation, it seems that Coach Billy Donovan has lacked a season'without major complications since the 2000 squad that made it to the championship game. And with forward Matt Walsh out for at least a month, barring a "miraculous discovery," as Donovan said, this season is no different. Walsh, who has worn a black walking boot since suffering a severe ankle sprain workouts with UF baseball tight end Tate Casey gets to snag passes from Chris Leak in spring practices, he'll be zipping s on the baseball diamond. Casey practiced with UF's baseball team for the first time Monday. Maxwell's career deserving during a Dec. 30 practice, had the boot removed Monday. Donovan said Walsh can't run but can walk without the boot and that trainers fitted him with an air cast that fits inside his shoe. Despite the fact that he is "getting better," Donovan said not to expect too much from Walsh when he finally returns. "Matt Walsh will not be Matt Walsh the rest of this year," Donovan said. "You have to understand that this is an injury that will take him until the end of the season to get back to the way he is capable of playing." While the recent plague of injuries has become tiresome for Donovan, he said it's somewhat expected. SEE BASKETBALL, PAGE 15 Vemon Maxwell is a womanabusing, drug-using deadbeat dad. Vernon Maxwell is also UF basketball's all-time leading scorer. While the first statement is up for debate (although he's been convicted on all three counts), the second statement is a fact -but UT would like you to think otherwise. -Take a look at page 112 of this year's media guide. Standing boldly as UF's No. 1 scorer is none other than Ronnie Williams, a fine player in his own right. There's just one problem. Williams didn't score the most points by far. To find the Gators' true scoring champion, you must flip to page 118, where, sandwiched between Harry Hamilton and Brooks Henderson is a young Vernon Maxwell. But take a closer look. All you'll find are the statistics from Maxwell's first two seasons when he averaged 16.6 points per game -and he's still UF's 33rd all-time scorer. You may have heard the tale before. Maxwell, a superstar at Bucholz High, snubs N.C. State and makes the heroic decision to play Andrew for the Gators.

Maxwell would become a thorn in UF's program. He admitted to using cocaine before one NCAA Tournament game. A columnist once wrote Maxwell played in a game drunk. Yet, Maxwell dominated on the court and UF basketball kept rising. By time his career ended, Maxwell had scored 2,450 points, shattering Williams' previous record of 2,090. But it was 1988, and UF's basketball program was in disarray. Despite three SEE CONTROL, PAGE 15 N Freshman forward Al Horford answered 10 questions from Alligator Staff Writer Louis Anastasis.
