UF President Bernie Machen announced
the spot early in the Fall after surveying fac-

about their pay and status. A similar survey
is planned for the staff this year.

will not be affected, human resources is

* TSUNAMI DISASTER
Vigil unites university
Gators gather
to remember
By LINDSAY TAULBEE

taulte alligatortor, rg
A sea of candlesJlit the faces of con-
cerned students Tuesday evening at
a vigil hosted by Gators for Tsunami
Relief, a coalition of more than 20 stu-
dent groups.
About 250 people gathered on the
Reitz Union North Lawn, taking tifne
to reflect on the devastation and loss of
life in South Asia and Africa..
The vigil raised more than $1,200,
putting the coalition's total fund-rais-
ing etf, -rti at alrnost $4,700.
UF President Bernie Machen and
three professors told the pensive crowd
how the tragedy had touched them.

she still is shaking.
The morning of the tsunami, she
and her family had planned to go snor-
keling at 10.
At about 8 a.m., they felt the earth
shake, and the building they were in
swayed. Later, as people came into
the hotel to escape the rushing wa-
ter, she and her family tended to the
wounded.
She said she couldn't help but think,
"We could have been part of that de-
bris if we had been there (snorkeling at
sea) a few hours earlier."
Simonne attested to the nature of
the tsunami, noting the waves did not
distinguish between victims.
Machen called the natural disaster
the worst of his lifetime, adding that
if anything good has come from recent
events, it is that people have put aside
their differences to help others.
"When all is said and done, we are
all brothers and sisters on this planet,"
he said.
Religion professor Vasudha
Narayanan also commented on the
sweeping nature of the disaster, saying

The economy is improving, and that could

College gets $2M
* THE NEW PROGRAM IS
DUE TO BEGIN FALL 2005.
By MATT KELLY
Alligator Contributing Writer
UF's M.E. Rinker Sr. School
of Building Construction soon
will get a facelift thanks to a do-
nation from a local construction
company.
Charles Perry, CEO of Charles
Perry Construction and a UF
graduate, provided $2 million'to
the Rinker School of the College
of Design, Construction and
Planning to fund the Charles
R. Perry Program for Crafts'
Awareness.
The program will bring in
master craftsmen to train stu-
dents in 16 different trades and
aims to give students insight into
what to look for in subcontract-
ing work.
"When it comes to knowing
the people that they are manag-
ing, they really don't know what
is inside those skills or trades,"
said Abdol R. Chini, Rinker
School director. "So we're trying
to expose the students to what
goes on with these craftspeople
and the difference between good
and bad quality and productiv-
ity."
The state is expected to add
$1.6 million in matching funds
by July, when planning and
designing will begin for an addi-
tional facility featuring a roofed
construction yard.
Though the addition is not
expected to be finished until
January 2006, Chini said the pro-
gram likely will begin Fall 2005.
Perry's gift also,will fund a
public art project to be displayed
at Rinker Hall.
Jay M. Stein, dean of the col-
lege, said he
hopes these
programs will
put Rinker on
the map as
one of the top
construction
programs at
Stein any univer-
sity.
"This program is a signifi-
cant development in building
construction education, and we
expect it to be a national, even
international model," he said.

COUNTY COMMISSION
Machen reaches out to curb excessive alcohol consumption
By RENAUD LAJOIE
Alligator Writer
Concerns about alcohol abuse among UF students and
the Gainesville community spurred UF President Bernie
Machen to propose a meeting to explore possible collabora-
tive efforts between the university and the Alachua County
Commission in combatting it.
In a letter dated Monday, Machen invited Cynthia
Chestnut, chairwoman of the commission, "and other com-
munity members" to a meeting to discuss what he views as
"the number-one health issue on college campuses."
"It is our impression that excessive student drinking is
not just a problem of the University of Florida, but of the
entire community," Machen wrote.
Machen noted UF's efforts in mitigating the problem
with "a variety of educational and social programs" but
expressed a desire to forge a "meaningful partnership"
in "creating and leading a healthy community" with the
commission.
Though Machen said in an interview Tuesday night
he did not have a finalized plan yet, the letter proposed
several approaches including "consistent enforcement of
policies and laws" and an "increase in educational op-

drinking is notjust a problem of the University
of Florida, but of the entire community."

portunities," as well as "additional resource allocation to
these efforts."
The meeting is scheduled for Jan. 19 at 9:30 a.m. in the
Chamber of Commerce's Parrish Boardroom, Suite 100.

Vote may end faculty union dispute
By MEGAN SEERY
Alligator Staff Writer
mseery@alligator.org
An ongoing dispute between unionized
UF faculty and the university's highest
governing body soon may come to a vote.
"I think a decision is imminent," said
Steve Meck, general counsel for the state's
Public Employees Relations Commission,
charged with resolving labor disputes be-
tween public employees and employers.
"The issue has been rigorously con-
tested by both parties."
Since: the UF Board of Trustees took
over governing the university in January
2003, it has refused to recognize the exist-
ing chapter of United Faculty of Florida,
which has represented UF faculty since
1976. The unit represents all UF colleges
except the law and nmtdical schools and
the Institute of Food and Agricultural
Sciences, or IFAS.
Unner-it aidmunishtators are petition-
ing PERC to include those groups in the
union's collective bargaining unit. which
negotiates terms such as compensation,
medical leave and intellectual prroperh.
Some faculty say forcing all colleges
to vote may doom a majority supporting
unionization because faculty members in
the outside units do not think their inter-
ests are shared by all faculty.
"[Eormer UF President Charles Young]
believes that if IFAS, the law school and
Health Science Center are included in a
vote, the chances of rejecting the union are
improc ed" former IFAS Vice President
Mike Martin wrote in a November 2003
e-mail. 'President 'Ioung wants IFAS fac-
ulty to vote because he does not want us or
.anu L\-' els in the union"
Both sides are waiting to- hear from
PERC about who is allowed to vote for
or against the union, which filed its initial
petition in December 2002.
Although the commission had 90 days
to respond after issuing its last order in
2004, it has been weighed down by paper-
work, Meck said.
"It (the UF v. UFF case) is litigated
more than the vast majority) of cases," he
said. "There is a statutory limit, but it has
passed due to the protractedness of the
litigation."
Compared to the judicial _-stem,
PERC's deliberation hasn't taken that long,
he said.
UF "The commis-
Aill.saliSa 'i'iln sion cares more
about making
a correct decision than a fast decision."
Meck said. "It has to make sure it won't
be a question in appellate court in years
to come."
-
Debate affects morale
Kim Emery, president of UF's chapter
of UFF, said some faculty in the excluded
units feel like pawns in the legal battle
"They (UF administra.ators never asked
the faculty at these schoolss if they \ hinted
tobe a part of the faculty unit," .aid Emery,
an a.-sociate English protfessor
But interim UF Provost Joe Glover said
the issue is about looking ahead to the uni-
versity's fiut re. hot disarninun thIe uij.:.n
"The old bargaining unit \ wa really the
result of a \-ackro.mn deal brokr red by the
Board of Regents decades ago," Glover
said. "We have one group of faculty on
campus and don't believe it should be split
into different pieces."
Meanwhile, the faculty's inability to
collectively. bargain dampens morale,
Emery said.
"It's demoralizing i\hen the trustees do
not recognize our experience and the con-
clusions that ne draw from it," she said.,
Emery said her concern about morale
reflects a growing senbment among UF
professors viho seekiunionization
"The crucial tling about the union is
that faculty have a real voice and not just
a \-.nbolic voice in protecting academic
freedoms," she said, referencing what she
calls. a "horrible" relation-hip between
educator. and -tate legislators. "It's a way
to piotect academic values against what's
politically expedient."
Low tacult morale also affects stu-
dents, UF associate telecommunications
professor Michael Leslie said.
"A fac lt member who feels sup-
ported by thf ins-htution will reflect that
in the quality of teaching and instruction,"
Leslie said.
A decline in morale leads to decreased
productivity, reflected by greater absentee-
isni and stifled research, thus.devaluing
UF's reputation and the degrees it awards,
Leslie said
"When faculty morale is low, faculty
begin to look for other opportunitie-.." he
said. "The uni\ er.ity loses \ ery high qual-
ity taculty e\ery year because thl\ go to
other places where their contibuhons are
recognized."
A faculty challenge
UF Pre-ident Bernie Nllachen has said
he would support unionization if all fac-
ulty participated in an election and the-
required majority \otEd in its favor.
However, the university still prefers an
alternative to unionization, Glover said.
"We've asked the faculty union to name
the concrete achieve ments it's made over
the past 25 years, and I don't think it can
name, many achievements," Glover said.
"The faculty could develop a different
union or practice shared governance in the
Faculty Senate."
Union deals have been completed or
are in the works at 10 Florida public uni-
versities all except UF.
"Many faculty members feel university
lay.-ers are trying to delay the commis-
sion's decision by filing a petition against a
unit that's been in place since 1976," Emery
said. "We're anxious to move on."

Classes send TAs on mad dash
ByJEFF SIRMONS

jsirmons@alligator.org
Pumping his thighs and dripping
with sweat, Damiano Bonuomo, a
French teaching assistant, dashes
through crowds of UF students on his
mountain bike with one goal in mind:
get to class on time without treading
over students.
Another kind of rush
TAs are traversing greater than
normal distances in the 15 minutes
between classes.
"If I were a real professor who wore
nice clothes, all my clothes would get
messed up pretty quick," Bonuomo
said.
Bonuomo struggles to arrive to class
on time because he, and other foreign
language TAs, teach back-to-back
classes on opposite ends of campus.
Bonuomo travels from Matherly Hall,
on the northeast edge of campus, all
the way to Mechanical and Aerospace

"Since I barely get to class on time,
I tell my students to ask questions only
on Tuesday and Thursdays, when it's a
bit easier to arrive on time (because the
class meets at Little Hall)," Bonuomo
said. "If I didn't have a bike, it wouldn't
be humanly possible to arrive to class
on time."
Language classes are scattered
throughout campus because students
prefer taking midday classes, said Rick
Ragan, assistant university registrar.
"The rooms are there, it's just a mat-
ter of utilizing them," Ragan said. "If
students went to the early morning and
late afternoon classes, there would be
more than enough classrooms in close
proximity."
The registrar grants each depart-
ment classrooms based on class size and
needs, not location. The department
then schedules classes accordingly.
"In an ideal world, there would be
more classes," said Michael Paden,
Italian program coordinator. "However,
here in the real world, there's just not
enough room to account for the mas-
sive stampede of students at UF in the
middle of the day. We have to make do
with what we have."
Other reasons classrooms are scat-
tered include daily scheduling and
requests for rooms that would accom-
modate a larger class, Paden said.
The registrar can reassign class-
rooms, Ragan said.
"Every morning, I check the registrar
Web site to see if my request for a room
change has been granted," Bonuomo
said. "If my request doesn't go through,
at least I'll get a workout."
GRU plant
plans halted
By RENAUD LAJOIE

Gainesville Regional Utilities will have to go
back to the drawing board one more time before
- it can begin designing plans to construct a new
220-megawatt coal-and-petroleum-coke-fired
electrical plant.
The Alachua County Commission agreed
with the Environmental Protection Advisory
Committee not to give GRU permission to begin
designs for the construc-
Alachua County tion of the addition after
Commission EPAC presented a list of
environmental issues it
said GRU has failed to effectively address.
EPAC is in charge of reporting to the Alachua
County Environmental Protection Department,
which concurred that important concerns re-
garding greenhouse-gas emissions, have not
been addressed effectively.
"We feel it is the wrong power plant to bring
here at this time," said David P. Harlos of the
environmental committee.
"The new boiler and generator will double
the carbon dioxide we are putting out," he said.
"These are concerns we have to address now be-
cause this will be with us for the next 50 years."
Commissioner Lee Pinkoson agreed that de-
sign planning should be postponed until Jan. 31
so that all concerns could be allayed.
However, Pinkoson also reaffirmed that the
new plant would come to fruition.

Editorial
Hope for peace
New Palestinian leader
to meet with Israeli PM
It was just one 10-minute phone call, but its ramifications
for peace in the Middle East are overwhelming.
The brief conversation yesterday between Israeli
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Mahmoud Abbas,
Palestine's recently elected president, was the first contact
made at that-level in years.
In this historic moment of goodwill, Sharon congratu-
lated Abbas on his victory in Sunday's election and the two
leaders laid some of the groundwork for a meeting in the
.near future to discuss a movement toward peace.
And peace may be within reach, as optimism is high in
the region and both Israel and Palestine may now be in. a
position to make the process work.
Sharon has assembled a government dedicated to pull-
ing the Israeli presence out of Gaza and part of the West
Bank. He went so far as to.say he will use force-against-
those who resist the efforts, and his army chief announced
he would expel any military officers or soldiers-who refuse
to participate.
Abbas, who publicly has described attacks against Israel
as a mistake, was elected by a huge margin in what seems to
be a legitimate election. Since receiving this unquestionable
mandate to rule, he has taken steps to assert his control and
further his plans for peace.
Most importantly, the leaders have made an effort to
reestablish the dialogue between the two peoples that had
been missing when former Palestinian President Yasser
Arafat was in office. Sharon, who refused to see Arafat
before his death, had not met with the former leader since
2000.
If. any viable solutions are to be found, however, both
leaders must take their first meeting seriously. If the meet-
ipg is treated merely as a publicity stunt, it will only ham-
per the impact of future efforts.
The major issue to be discussed, of course, is the reduc-
tion.of the violence and terrorist actions that have been a
constant factor in Israeli-Palestinian relations.
To that effect, Israeli leaders have expressed their in-
tent to pass control of security duties in the West Bank to
the Palestinian leadership. They will look at this and the
removal of Israeli settlements from Gaza as a chance for
Palestinian leaders to show they,can restore order and work
to eliminate terrorism.
Abbas has not acceded to actively go after violent
groups, but he has-proposed negotiations for a cease-fire.
Regardless of which method is chosen, some concrete
resolution must be agreed upon to stem the tide of deaths
from terrorist activities.
In addition to these plans, this time of cooperation
also is promising for the movement-toward establishing a
Palestinian state. The Israeli government and Palestinian
leadership have agreed to follow a U.S.-backed plan that
would lead to this goal.
Of course, none of this will come easily. After years
of relentless antagonism, Israel and Palestine will have to
commit to an intensive process of repairing relations. Their
people and leaders will have to agree to compromise on a
number of fronts and be willing to change perspectives they
thought'were eternal.
But these all are a small price to pay for peace.

SG party platforms need new goals
access denied,
After winning in a landslide with its Fall
slate, the party who pledged to open. Student
Government to all students gets told "You've failed" and
has its name spirited away.
Oh, the irony.
Has Access failed to meet its promises, though? At least
seven other parties think so.
You could look at their track record: roughly 50 percent.
But naturally, some of those failures were out of their hands.
Others, no doubt, will be converted to successes in the near
future.
There were some flubs, however. One of these was
censuring the University of North Florida's student body
president. On the eve of Florida Student Association elec-'
tions in which UNF's president was rumored to be con-
sidering a bid, the Access-dominated Senate condemned.
him for refusing to fund that school's Pride organization.
UNF's Student Senate fired back with a resolution telling
us, rightly, to butt Out of their affairs.
Access also misstepped, if vicariously, in the fight against
block tuition. While a worthy cause, the Florida Student
Association-which Access pushed to rejoin-has turned
the issue into a fight to keep the State University System
under control of the Legislature. The reasoning is the Board
of Governors would implement block tuition, whereas FSA
feels better prepared to fight it in the Legislature. That's
absurd-the SUS needs significant autonomy over tuition
to be able to properly fund itself. The relatively minor fear
of block tuition pales in comparison to keeping UF in the
fickle hands of Tallahassee.
Some goals, too, seem nigh-unwinnablre. Getting Gator
Dining to allow credit cards in the Reitz Union or to extend
dining hall hours would be an extraordinary pain for rela-
Gavin Baker tively little gain.
Speaking Out On the other hand, it'd be of great
benefit to find funding to improve
the Institute of Hispanic-Latino Cultures and Institute of
Black Culture and build an Institute of Asian and Asian-
American Culture. But unless Uncle Jamal keeps a few mil-
lion dollars rolled up in his socks, I don't see it happening in
the immediate future.
Access' platform, too, is missing a few important points.
All you other parties looking to improve your platform, this
goes for you too.
First; someone in SG needs to have the spine to stand up
against the Department of Housing's ICARUS anti-fileshar-
ing system, -which blocks access to legitimate programs.
Second, making UF more eco-friendly deserves a higher
priority than Access has given it. Increasing recycling on
campus and using biodegradable utensils in dining areas
are two goals Access hasn't accomplished but should.
Third, SG should pressure the university to untangle the
Web. A major step toward keeping students better informed
of policies, class information and activities is keeping better,
more recent and more interconnected Web sites with more
content. The syllabus for every class should be online, so we
don't have to go to the bookstore and buy them.
Finally, SG must improve itself. SG should increase the
number of seats in the Senate, trim the branches of its bu-
reaucracy, implement online voting, and provide Web sites
for the candidates so voters know more about them than
their name and party. And as Access knows, some changes
to the party system are due. The first student to register a
party name and use it should retain control over the name,.
and intentionally deceptive use of a party name should be
prohibited.

Letters to the Editor
Pill's effects go beyond contraception
Editor: For clarification of several let-
ters written over the past few days, the
morning-after pill or emergency contra-
ception (MAP-EC) operates in three ways:
it inhibits the release of an egg, prevents
sperm from reaching the.egg and changes
the lining of the uterine wall preventing
implantation of the fertilized egg. The
latter characteristic is not contraception,
'because conception has already occurred.
The zygote formed when the sperm unites
with an egg contains the 46 unique chro-
mosomes of a new human being and is the
first indication of pregnancy.
Estrogen and progesterone are the
hormones that cause the cervical mucus
to thicken and the uterine wall to thin,
both of which are opposite of the body's
physiological needs for pregnancy. Thus,
the body's normal response is altered, and
therefore, the pregnancy is terminated.
The morning-after pill, a stronger dosage
of the birth control pill, is not recommend-
ed for regular birth control use because it
Causes a significant hormonal disruption.
Pro-abortion activists were irrespon-
sible in handing out this pill on the streets
without the proper certification to admin-
ister medication. As far as I know, these
women are not licensed to teach about the
side effects of the drug, and therefore there
is no accountability if the pill is given to
someone with liver disease, hypertension,
certain cancers and other disorders that
could cause severe complications.
The terminology debate over this is-
sue begins withthe fact that conception.
is the beginning of pregnancy (as used by
gynecologists to estimate the approximate
date of delivery) and not implantation.
The MAP-EC cannot be categorized as a
contraceptive but "contra-implantation"
device, therefore terminating pregnancy,
which medically is an abortion.
S. Abrea Mitchell
Vice President, Pro-life Alliance
Pro-choice just PC term for real stance
Editor: It humors me to no end when I
hear the uproar about being labeled "pro-
abortion" by those claiming to be worried
about a woman's right to choose. In sev-
eral letters to the editor on Jan. 11, there
seemed to be panic among these concerned
citizens. If you.areagainst the murder of a
child in the womb, then you obviously will
be pro-life. What is the other option, you
might ask? To be for abortion-pro-abor-
tion. In the politically correct society we
live in, some activists have sugar-coated
the word to sound friendlier, but being
pro-choice is nothing but agreeing abor-
tion should be allowed. This issue is not
only about a woman's right to choose but
also about the child's right to live. When
those supporting abortion are called what
they actually are, they get extremely de-
fensive. I find it interesting. Why aren't
you proud to call yourself pro-abortion,
if you are?

Machen should investigate name theft
S'Editor: The action taken against the Access
Party and the thousands of students that
supported it should'be examined by the uni-
versity administration. So far, we have media
coverage that implies wrongdoing took place,
we have the director of the Student Activities
Center-my esteemed Board of Managers,
colleague Lohse Beeland-stating that "name-
claming by non-party members often has
happened in years past," and, to top it off, the
Access Party currently is in complete control
of the Executive Branch and has a significant
number of party-loyal senators as well. I be-'
lieve this person, unworthy to have his name
included in my letter, is in clear violation of the
Honor Code that holds all of us to the highest
standards of integrity and honesty.
It is for this reaon I would like to make a
formal request to President Bernie Machen
to verify, through the expansive resources of
his office, whether or not the faculty advisor
of this "new" Access Party was fully aware
of what he or she was signing in support of;
make sure Michael Shine at no point in time
provided false or misleading information
about his relationship with the party; and de-
termine whether or not, in light of the actual
ramifications, the adviser is at all interested in
retracting their support. I am making this re-
quest to President Machen in the newspaper
that reaches every student, because it is hot
a personal request-it is a request on behalf
of thousands of my fellow students. As an:
elected representative of the student body,
I feel it would be highly improper of me to
contact this officer with these concerns, so I
am asking that your office take the appropri-
ate action.
In closing, I would just like to say that
this semester I have re-registered the Voice
Party and, despite the possibility that we
may run candidates in this election, I hope
all parties-be they Ignite, the Gator Party,
Keg, etc.-and potential candidates like
Joe Goldberg and Jared Hemandez will be
opposed to what's been done to the Access
Party and will weigh in. Winning may be
important, but honesty and integrity should
still count for something.

Smaller student organizations

to help bring top-notch speakers to
UF are one step closer to receiving
the assistance they need.
An extra $30,000 to allow
Accent, UF's speakers bureau, to
co-sponsor campus speakers ini-
tially was approved on first read-
ing by the Student Senate Tuesday
night.
"The demand on campus for
speakers has grown exponen-
tially," Accent Chairman David
Buchalter said.
The money, which would come
from Student Government re-
serves, is needed to allow Accent
to fund commitments they already
have made with other student
groups and work with organiza-
tions that don't have as much
experience bringing prominent
speakers to UF, said Lohse Beeland,

However, Rep. Cliff Steams,
who represents most of Gainesville,
issued a statement that said the

was reducing the Pell Grant pro-

actually helps the neediest students
"It makes it possible for the U.S.

use of outdated IRS tax tables to en-

"It seems a little more gloom and

he said.
A year ago,. Congress passed
a bill that postponed the formula
changes until 2005. Anderson said
he doubted Congress would make
a similar decision by passing Bishop

counter-bill is going to work," he
said.

According to America's Breakfast Council.
a circle of doctors and nutritionists formed by
the Florida Department of Citrus, two-thirds

of lack of time. Along with the hurricanes last
year and new dieting trends, it has put a bur-

Compared to the 2003-04 growing sea-
son, this year's orange crop is 30 percent
smaller, and the grapethuit crop is 68 percent
smaller, according to the Citrus Researchdand
Education Center in Lake Alfred, the world's

Center spokesman Andrew Meadows said
dieting trends did not help matters either .
"I don't eat breakfast because I'm
too busy. At most, I'll grab a bagel

"We did a recent stludv that show \ lo\\ -carb
diets ha\e had a direct impact on 01 consump-
tion," Meadows said.
However, recent ads have shown sunshine
on the horizon for citrus growers.
"We have launched an advertising cam--
paign that the industry has come behind,.
and the, decline has slowed significantly."
Meadows said. "What they advertiserr') are
basically doing is reminding conrutmers to
start their da\ right and Ithatll orange juice is
traditionally\ part of breakfast
"The nutrients in orange juice are too im-
portant to niss," he said 'The potassium in
the orange encourages heart health. while the
Vitamin C aids 'the iunmune system and the
folic acid prevents birth detects lin the brain
and spinal cord)."
Within the UF student body, there are
various positions on the importance of the
'first meal of the day.
"I don't eat breakfast. because Im too
busy," UF sophomore Ashley Jones said. "At
most, I'll grab a bagel to go."
There is also the other extreme.
"I have a.nice oily breakfast when I can
with salt and pepper on the eggs and a side
of grease with the bacon," English junior Dan
Oney said. "I have a glass of OJ or milk when I
can, but if not, I have a soda or a beer."
Adults w\ho do int eat breakfast are four
times more likely to be obese, said Gail C.
Rampersaud. assistant in nutrition research
and education for the UF Food Science and
HumanNutrition Department and member of
America's Breakfast Council.
"Breakfast is just an important part of a
health\ lifes-t-le," said Rampersaud, who is
al-o a registered dietician "It's just like getting
a jump start on your day."
Rampersaud recommends students keep
healthy foods regularly available at home to
avoid the temptation of fast food. She recom-
mends low-fat yogurt, a bagel with low-fat
cream cheese and "100 percent orange juice"
to start off the morning.

Students
react to
new prime
minister
By STEVE SPECHT
Alligator Writer
What will happen now that the
deceased Yasser Arafat has been
replaced by Mahmoud Abbas
as president of the Palestinian
Authority on Monday? The re-
sponse depends on who is answer-
ing.
Gators for Israel, an. organiza-
tion concerned with Israeli issues
and the nation's right to exist, is
optimistic about Abbas' ability to
bring peace to a region that has
seen continuing violence since
Israel was founded in 1948.
President Britt Tevis said
Abbas is a much more moderate
leader, who already has called for
the end to the ongoing conflict
known as the Al-Aqsa Intifada,
and she is looking forward to
seeing how Israeli Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon and Abbas will work
for peace.
"Sharon actually called Abbas
after the election," she said, citing-
the congratulatory telephone call
to Abbas 'on Tuesday.
This is a
step away from
Sharon's at-
titudes toward
_4i Arafat, whom he
called an arch-
terrorist.
"I think. hav-
Arafat
ing an optimistic
attitude will propel the peace pro-
cess," she said.
However, not everyone shares
her positive outlook.
Nakba '48, an organization
striving to create awareness of the
situation of the Palestinian-people,
is wary of the new president and
still worries about what is in store
for the region.
Stephanie Bendeck, president
of Nakba '48, argues that no matter
who was elected, the same prob-
lems exist.
"I don't know if .[Abbas is] go-
ing to be that much better," she
said. "I'd like to think that he'll
make a difference, but a lot of that
has to be reflected on the Israeli
side."
Bendeck also is concerned
-Palestinian refugees were not rep-
resented in the election as a result
of their low-voter turnout caused
by travel restrictions imposed by
Israel. Abbas won the Palestinian
election with 62.3 percent of the
vote, according to The Associated
Press.
President Bush also expressed
willingness to work with the new
president, extending an invita-
tion for Abbas to visit the White
House.

Parker pleads not guilty in first court appearance
By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
bapp@alligator.org
Major Parker, a former UF men's bas-
ketball team captain and assistant to Coach
Billy Donovan, made his first appearance in
federal court Tuesday.
Before Federal Magistrate Alan Komblum
at the Federal Courthouse in Gainesville,
Parker pleaded not guilty to one count of
conspiracy to distribute and possession with
the intent to distribute more than 500 grams
of cocaine, three counts of distributing co-
caine and one count of distributing and pos-
sessing with the intent to distribute cocaine.
According to court documents, the
charges stem from sales of cocaine to an
undercover Gainesville Police'Department
officer on multiple dates from Nov. 1 to Dec.
7, when Parker was arrested.
Korblum issued a Feb. 14 trial for Parker
to begin at 8:30 a.m.
Following his appearance, Parker, who
was free on $100,000 bond, received pre-trial
release and was allowed to leave accompa-
nied by his wife, father and sister.
While Parker must obtain clearance from
a supervising officer to leave the area, his
attorney, John Stokes, said his, client has no
intention of returning to his hometown of
Fort Lauderdale.
'Major Parker has no plans right now to
change his life in any \way\ other than to fully
comply iw\ith the court orders, to review the
discovery in his case, to prepare his case
for resolution, whatever that'may be, and
to continue to lead-a very
Valuable and productive
'' life," Stokes said.
Jerry Sanford, spokes-
1 ,' man for the U.S. Attorney
'in Gainesville, said the
L 3 charges of possession
v, ith intent to distribute
Parker carry a penalty of five to
40 %ears in prison. while
the remauunig Count- carry anywhere from
one to 20 years. In addition, Komblum said
Parker could be fined up to $2 million for
each of the posse-ssion with intent to dis-
tribute charges and $1 million each for the
other three.
Stokes reserved comment on the pos-
sibility of Parker receiving a plea deal and
declined to discuss facts of the case while
evidence is being reviewed.
Stokes, however, said that Parkerg spirit
remains high.
"[Parker] has very positive mindset,"
Stokes said. "He's looking toward the fu-
ture, resolving this case and getting on with
his life.
"I'm confident when the evidence comes
out, and everything is heard in this case that
Major Parker will one day be able t6 get on
with his life," Stokes said. "This will be a
disappointing memory, but one that he can
still mo\ e on and hai e an extremely produc-
tive life."

Freshmen face fierce SEC road
By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
bapp@alligator.org
Al H-orford is accustomed to hostile
crowds.
As a senior in high school, UF's
freshman starting center was berated
by opposing fans.
"When I committed [to UF] in
high school, they did the Florida State
chant," Horford said with a smile. "In
every away game, they had the stu-
dent section do the Florida State chant.
They even played the song, actually."
While Horford may have received
abuse from -high. school kids and
played in front of relatively large
croc. ds a, an EA Sportz All-Star. he has
)e t to ,pcriennc hlif on tl road in the

"Auburn is a difficult team-
to guard because they have
the ability to shoot the three.
And. not only do they shoot
the three, but they have guys
on the perimeter who can
put the ball on the floor and
drive to the basket."?
Billy Donovan
UF men's oasketbali coach

The Gator- ha e been on the oppos--
ing side of a roaring crov d once this
season, and it didn't go well for them.
Just 10 days ago; UT uttered a 13-
point loss to Florida State in its first
road game of the season. Horford and
other Gators, however, believe they've
learned from the incident.
"I think it definitely is a wake-up
call," senior forward David Led said.
Lee said he thinks that before the
FSU game, the young players didn't
really understand how daunting a
collegiate road game can be, primar-
ily due to UF-friendly crowds in
Miami and Jacksonville the sites of
UF's only previous games outside of
Gainesville.
"I hate to say this, but it could've
been a great learning experience for
our team," Lee said.
But Coach Billy Donovan hopes
that his team not only has learned to
overcome a foreign crowd but also to
defend the perimeter.

percent of their three-point shots
against UF.
Against FSU, the Gators allowed
the Seminoles to shoot 60 percent
from three-point territory.
But the Gators improved their
perimeter defense against the
Razorbacks, allowing a 38.9-percent
mark from beyond the arc.
Dono~ an hopes his team continues
that impro\ v-ment against smaller but
quick and sharp-shooting Auburn.
"Auburn is a difficult team to guard
because they have the ability to _hoot
the three," Donovan said. '-.nd not
only do they shoot the three, but they
have guys on the perimeter who can
put the ball on the floor and drive to
the basket."
"No, but that might be the way to
go. [We could] go grab some kids
from Turllngton and put them in
the stands."
David Lee
UF forward, on whether the Gators
simulate crowd noise in practice
The Tigers (9-5, 0-1 SEC) have a
lineup featuring one player taller than
6-foot-6, compared to UF's seven,
but also two of the SEC's top scor-
ers. Freshman 6-foot-1 guard Toney
Douglas is tied with Mississippi State
forward Lawrence Roberts, averaging
a league-best 18.8 points per game.
Donovan wants his team to be pa-
tient and use its size and physical ad-
vantage like it did against Arkansas.
"We have got to balance between
inside-and outside [shooting] in this
basketball game," Donovan said. "I
don't think we want to get into a situ-
ation where we want to match them
three-point shot to three-point shot,
because they have a lot more three-
point shooters than we do."

Gators. Graham ran for 3,065
yards in his UF career. See

classic Alligator story.
Forgotten shooter
must regain touch
His contagious eyes and goofy smile make him
"da bomb" with the girls.
Now it's time for his game to make him a
permanent hit with the guys.
It's time for Lee to lead the Gators' charge. It's time
for Lee to be the replacement piece to a UF puzzle that
misses Matt Walsh.
And I'm not talking about David Lee here. David
already understands he needs to be taking mismatched
Southeastern Conference defenders to school. This is
about Lee Humphrey.
This is about a shooter who is a man, but looks like a
boly ind play somewhere in between on the court.
Monday, Billy D made a shocking, but somewhat
true statement: when Walsh returns later this season, he
won't be the same player because of lo-t conditioning.
That's where Humphrey

Gators gather to remember By LINDSAY TAULBEE Alligator Writer Itaulbee@alligator.org A sea of candles-lit the faces of concerned students Tuesday evening at a vigil hosted by Gators for Tsunami Relief, a coalition of more than 20 student groups. About 250 people gathered on the Reitz Union North Lawn, taking tifne to reflect on the devastation and loss of life in South Asia and Africa. The vigil raised more than $1,200, putting the coalition's total fund-raising efforts at almost $4,700. UF President Bernie Machen and three professors told the pensive crowd how the tragedy had touched them. Assistant professor Amy Simonne, a food researcher who was on vacation in Thailand when the wave struck, was grateful she and her family had escaped unscathed, although she said she still is shaking. The morning of the tsunami, she and her family had planned to go snorkeling at 10. At about 8 a.m., they felt the earth shake, and the building they were in swayed. Later, as people came into the hotel to escape the rushing water, she and her family tended to the wounded. She said she couldn't help but think, "We could have been part 6f that debris if we had been there (snorkeling at sea) a few hours earlier." Simonne attested to the nature of the tsunami, noting the waves did not distinguish between victims. Machen called the natural disaster the worst of his lifetime, adding that if anything good has come from recent events, it is that people have put aside their differences to help others. "When all is said and done, we are all brothers and sisters on this planet," he said. Religion professor Vasudha Narayanan also commented on the sweeping nature of the disaster, saying SEE VIGIL, PAGE 8 Year-end figures suggest receptive market for grads By SKYLER SMITH Alligator Writer The economy is improving, and that could mean more numerous and promising job prospects for UF students upon graduation. "We're seeing increases across the board," in comparison to two years ago, said Nadene Francis, assistant director for public relations for the Career Resource Center. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, 157,000 jobs were created in December, and the unemployment rate is back to 2001 prerecession lows. The graduates most in demand are those with foreign language, analytical and comm ication skills, Francis said. She added that the areas of defense and healthcare are some of the fields in which de"There are more opportunities with a bachelor's degree now." Sara Hamersma UF assistant professor of economics mand is highest. "Healthcare you almost can't track the numbers," Francis said. "They're begging us to graduate more students." Francis said that whether a student graduates in the Fall or Spring semester is irrelevant. The important factor is when the student begins his or her job search. "It really needs to be nine to six months before graduation," she said.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12,2005 M ALLIGATOR, 3 E THE NEW PROGRAM IS DUE TO BEGIN FALL 2005. By MATT KELLY Alligator Contributing Writer UF's M.E. Rinker Sr. School of Building Construction soon will get a facelift thanks to a donation from a local construction company. Charles Perry, CEO of Charles Perry Construction and a UF graduate, provided $2 million to the Rinker School of the College of Design, Construction and Planning to fund the Charles R. Perry Program for Crafts' Awareness. The program will bring in master craftsmen to train students in 16 different trades and aims to give students insight into what to look for in subcontracting work. "When it comes to knowing the people that they are managing, they really don't know what is inside those skills or trades," said Abdol R. Chini, Rinker School director. "So we're trying to expose the students to what goes on with these craftspeople and the difference between good and bad quality and productivity." The state is expected to add $1.6 million in matching funds by July, when planning and designing will begin for an additional facility featuring a roofed construction yard. Though the addition is not expected to be finished until January 2006, Chini said the program likely will begin Fall 2005. Perry's gift also will fund a public art project to be displayed at Rinker Hall. Jay M. Stei, dean of the college, said he hopes these programs will put Rinker on the map as one of the top construction programs at Stein any university. "This program is a significant development in building construction education, and we expect it to be a national, even international model," he said.

4, ALLIGATOR U WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 2005 Vote may end faculty union dispute By MEGAN SEERY Alligator Staff Writer mseery@alligator.org An ongoing dispute between unionized UF faculty and the university's highest governing body soon may come to a vote. "I think a decision is imminent," said Steve Meck, general counsel for the state's Public Employees Relations Commission, charged with resolving labor disputes between public employees and employers. "The issue has been rigorously contested by both parties." Since the UF Board of Trustees took over governing the university in January 2003, it has refused to recognize the existing chapter of United Faculty of Florida, which has represented UF faculty since 1976. The unit represents all UF colleges except the law and medical schools and the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, or IFAS. University administrators are petitioning PERC to include those groups in the Lution's collective bargaining unit, which negotiates terms such as compensation, medical leave and intellectual property. Some faculty say forcing all colleges to vote may doom a majority supporting unionization because faculty members in the outside units do not think their interests are shared by all faculty. "[Former UF President Charles Young] believes that if IFAS, the law school and Health Science Center are included in a vote, the chances of rejecting the union are improved," former IFAS Vice President Mike Martin wrote in a November 2003 e-mail. "President Young wants IFAS faculty to vote because he does not want us or anyone else in the union." Both sides are waiting to hear from PERC about who is allowed to vote for or against the union, which filed its initial petition in December 2002. Although the commission had 90 days to respond after issuing its last order in 2004, it has been weighed down by paperwork, Meck said. "It (the UF v.UFF case) is litigated more than the vast majority of cases," he said. "There is a statutory limit, but it has passed due to the protractedness of the litigation." Compared to the judicial system, PERC's deliberation hasn't taken that long, he said. U F "The commisAdministration sion cares more about making a correct decision than a fast decision," Meck said. "It has to make sure it won't be a question in appellate court in years to come." Debate affects morale Kim Emery, president of UF's chapter of UFF, said some faculty in the excluded units feel like pawns in the legal battle. "They (UF administrators) never asked the faculty at these schools if they wanted to be a part of the faculty unit," said Emery, an associate English professor. But interim UF Provost Joe Glover said the issue is about looking ahead to the university's future, not disarming the union. "The old bargaining unit was really the result of a backroom deal brokered by the Board of Regents decades ago," Glover said. "We have one group of faculty on campus and don'tbelieve it should be split into different pieces." Meanwhile, the faculty's inability to collectively -bargain dampens morale, Emery said. "It's demoralizing when the trustees do not recognize our experience and the conclusions that we draw from it," she said. Emery said her concern about morale reflects a growing sentiment among UF professors who seek-unionization. "The crucial thing about the union is that faculty have a real voice and not just a symbolic voice in protecting academic freedoms," she said, referencing what she calls a "horrible" relationship between educators and state legislators. "It's a way to protect academic values against what's politically expedient." Low faculty morale also affects students, UF associate telecommunications professor Michael Leslie said. "A faculty member who feels supported by the institution will reflect that in the quality of teaching and instruction," Leslie said. A decline in morale leads to decreased productivity, reflected by greater absenteeism and stifled research, thus devaluing UF's reputation and the degrees it awards, Leslie said. "When faculty morale is low, faculty begin to look for other opportunities," he said. "The university loses very high quality faculty every year because they go to other places where their contributions are recognized." A faculty challenge UF President Bernie Machen has said he would support unionization if all faculty participated in an election and the required majority voted in its favor. However, the university still prefers an alternative to unionization, Glover said. "We've asked the faculty union to name the concrete achievements it's made over the past 25 years, and I don't think it can name, many achievements," Glover said. "The faculty could develop a different union or practice shared governance in the Faculty Senate." Union deals have been completed or are in the works at 10 Florida public universities -all except UP. "Many faculty members feel university lawyers are trying to delay the conmissiofl's decision by filing a petition against a unit that's been in place since 1976," Emery said. "We're anxious to move on." S tudent Traffic Courtad Tranporttion and Piarking Se-rvices W a nt Y ou t-o -Kn1o1U1%W.

"Sexual assault is something no one really wants to talk about, but it happens," Acting Against Rape Every Student's Task Force Chairwoman Marni Jacob said. The month's activities will begin today at 7 p.m. on the Reitz Union Colonnade with Take Back the Night 5K, a walk organized by AAREST. Registration is free, and participants will receive free food, T-shirts and purple ribbons symbolizing awareness. "It used to be a walk where people would hold signs. It used to be more of an empowerment kind of run, but now it's awareness," Jacob said. She said the organization garnering the largest turnout will get a reward.

The month's activities will conclude with an empowering self-defense and sexual assault prevention program called Girls Fight Back!. It will take place in the Reitz Union Ballroon at 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 27, where students, who are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing, will be able to practice self-defense techniques.

"If I were a real professor who wore nice clothes, all my clothes would get messed up pretty quick," Bonuomo said. Bonuomo struggles to arrive to class on time because he, and other foreign language TAs, teach back-to-back classes on opposite ends of campus. Bonuomo travels from Matherly Hall, on the northeast edge of campus, all the way to Mechanical and Aerospace Another kind of rush TAs are traversing greater than Matherly Hall normal distances in the 15 minutes between classes.

"Since I barely get to class on time, I tell my students to ask questions only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, when it's a bit easier to arrive on time (because the class meets at Little Hall)," Bonuomo said. "If I didn't have a bike, it wouldn't be humanly possible to arrive to class on time." Language classes are scattered throughout campus because students prefer taking nidday classes, said Rick Ragan, assistant university registrar. "The rooms are there, it's just a matter of utilizing them," Ragan said. "If students went to the early morning and late afternoon classes, there would be more than enough classrooms in close proximity." The registrar grants each department classrooms based on class size and needs, not location. The department then schedules classes accordingly. "In an ideal world, there would be more classes," said Michael Paden, Italian program coordinator. "However, here in the real world, there's just not enough room to account for the massive stampede of students at UF in the middle of the day. We have to make do with what we have." Other reasons classrooms are scattered include daily scheduling and requests for rooms that would accommodate a larger class, Paden said. The registrar can reassign classrooms, Ragan said.

6, ALLIGATOR E WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 2005 Editorial Hope for peace New Palestinian leader to meet with Israeli PM Jt was just one 10-minute phone call, but its ramifications for peace in the Middle East are overwhelming. The brief conversation yesterday between Israeli Prime Minister -Ariel Sharon and Mahmoud Abbas, Palestine's recently elected president, was the first contact made at that level in years. In this historic moment of goodwill, Sharon congratulated Abbas on his victory in Sunday's election and the two leaders laid some of the groundwork for a meeting in the near future to discuss a movement toward peace. And peace may be within reach, as optimism is high in the region and both Israel and Palestine may now be in a position to make the process work. Sharon has assembled a government dedicated to pulling the Israeli presence out of Gaza and part of the West Bank. He went so far as to ,say he will use force against those who resist the efforts, and his army chief announced he would expel any military officers or soldiers-who refuse to participate. Abbas, who publicly has described attacks against Israel as a mistake, was elected by a huge margin in what seems to be a legitimate election. Since receiving this unquestionable mandate to rule, he has taken steps to assert his control and further his plans for peace. Most importantly, the leaders have made an effort to reestablish the dialogue between the two peoples that had been missing when former Palestinian President Yasser Arafat was in office. Sharon, who refused to see Arafat before his death, had not met with the former leader since 2000. If. any viable solutions are to be found, however, both leaders must take their first meeting seriously. If the meeting is treated merely as a publicity stunt, it will only hamper the impact of future efforts. The major issue to be discussed, of course, is the reduction of the violence and terrorist actions that have been a constant factor in Israeli-Palestinian relations. To that effect, Israeli leaders have expressed their intent to pass control of security duties in the West Bank to the Palestinian leadership. They will look at this and the removal of Israeli settlements from Gaza as a chance for Palestinian leaders to show they can restore order and work to eliminate terrorism. Abbas has not acceded to actively go after violent groups, but he has-proposed negotiations for a cease-fire. Regardless of which method is chosen, some concrete resolution must be agreed upon to stem the tide of deaths from terrorist activities. In addition to these plans, this time of cooperation also is promising for the movement -toward establishing a Palestinian state. The Israeli government and Palestinian leadership have agreed to follow a U.S.-backed plan that would lead to this goal. Of course, noneof this will come easily. After years of relentless antagonism, Israel and Palestine will have to commit to an intensive process of repairing relations. Their people and leaders will have to agree to compromise on a number of fronts and be willing to change perspectives they thought were eternal.

O pinions ALLIGATOR www.a"'igator.org/opi onions 1ueSt onm SG party platforms need new goals Access denied, After winning in a landslide with its Fall slate, the party who pledged to open Student Government to all students gets told "You've failed" and has its name spirited away. Oh, the irony. Has Access failed to meet its promises, though? At least seven other parties think so. You could look at their track record: roughly 50 percent. But naturally, some of those failures were out of their hands. Others, no doubt, will be converted to successes in the near future. There were some flubs, however. One of these was censuring the University of North Florida's student body president. On the eve of Florida Student Association elec-' tions in which UNF's president was rumored to be considering a bid, the Access-dominated Senate condemned him for refusing to fund that school's Pride organization. UNF's Student Senate fired back with a resolution telling us, rightly, to butt out of their affairs. Access also misstepped, if vicariously, in the fight against block tuition. While a worthy cause, the Florida Student Association-which Access pushed to rejoin-has turned the issue into a fight to keep the State University System under control of the Legislature. The reasoning is the Board of Governors would implement block tuition, whereas FSA feels better prepared to fight it in the Legislature. That's absurd-the SUS needs significant autonomy over tuition to be able to properly fund itself. The relatively minor fear of block tuition pales in comparison to keeping UF in the fickle hands of Tallahassee. Some goals, too, seem nigh-unwirnable. Getting Gator Dining to allow credit cards in the Reitz Union or to extend dining hall hours would be an extraordinary pain for relaGavin Baker tively little gain. Speaking Out. On the other hand, it'd be of great benefit to find funding to improve the institute of Hispanic-Latino Cultures and Institute of Black Culture and build an Institute of Asian and AsianAmerican Culture. But unless Uncle Jamal keeps a few million dollars rolled up in his socks, I don't see it happening in the immediate future. Access' platform, too, is missing a few important points. All you other parties looking to improve your platform, this goes for you too. First, someone in SG needs to have the spine to stand up against the Department of Housing's ICARUS anti-filesharing system, wluch blocks access to legitimate programs. Second, making UF more eco-friendly deserves a higher priority than Access has given it. Increasing recycling on campus and using biodegradable utensils in dining areas are two goals Access hasn't accomplished but should. Third, SG should pressure the university to untangle the Web. A major step toward keeping students better informed of policies, class information and activities is keeping better, more recent and more interconnected Web sites with more content. The syllabus for every class should be online, so we don't have to go to the bookstore and buy them. Finally, SG must improve itself. SG should increase the number of seats in the Senate, tiim the branches of its bureaucracy, implement online voting, and provide Web sites for the candidates so voters know more about them than their name and party. And as Access knows, some changes to the party system are due. The first student to register a party name and use it should retain control over the name,, and intentionally deceptive use of a party name should be prohibited. Gavin Baker is a hisloryfreshzan.

Letters to the Editor Pill's effects go beyond contraception Editor: For clarification of several letters written over the past few days, the morning-after pill or emergency contraception (MAP-EC) operates in three ways: it inhibits the release of an egg, prevents sperm from reaching the egg and changes the lining of the uterine wall preventing implantation of t he fertilized egg. The latter characteristic is not contraception, because conception has already occurred. The zygote formed when the sperm unites with an egg contains the 46 unique chromosomes of a new human being and is the first indication of pregnancy. Estrogen and progesterone are the hormones that cause the cervical mucus to thicken and the uterine wall to thin, both of which are opposite of the body's physiological needs for pregnancy. Thus, the body's normal response is altered, and therefore, the pregnancy is terminated. The morning-after pill, a stronger dosage of the birth control pill, is not recommended for regular birth control use because it causes a significant hormonal disruption. Pro-abortion activists were irresponsible in handing out this pill on the streets without the proper certification to administer medication. As far as I know, these women are not licensed to teach about the side effects of the drug, and therefore there is no accountability if the pill is given to someone with liver disease, hypertension, certain cancers and other disorders that could cause severe complications. The terminology debate over this issue begins with the fact that conception is the beginning of pregnancy (as used by gynecologists to estimate the approximate date of delivery) and not implantation. The MAP-EC cannot be categorized as a contraceptive but "contra-implantation" device, therefore terminating pregnancy, which medically is an abortion. Area Mitchell Vice President, Pro-life Alliance E N u Pro-choice just PC term for real stance Editor: It humors me to no end when I hear the uproar about being labeled "proabortion" by those claiming to be worried about a woman's right to choose. In several letters to the editor on Jan. 11, there seemed to be panic among these concerned citizens. If you are against the murder of a child in the wosnb, then you obviously will be pro-life. What is the other option, you might ask? To be for abortion-pro-abortion. In the politically correct society we live in, some activists have sugar-coated the word to sound friendlier, but being pro-choice is nothing but agreeing abortion should be allowed. T only about a woman's rigid also about the child's righ those supporting abortion they actually are, they ge fensive. I find it interesti you proud to call yourse if you are?

8, ALLIGATOR E WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 2005 STUDENT GOVERNMENT Accent awaits $30K more to meet student demand N PLANS FOR A CD YEARBOOK WERE PUT ON HOLD. By STEPHEN MAGRUDER Alligator Writer smagruder@aligator.org Smaller student organizations seeking both money and support to help bring top-notch speakers to UF are one step closer to receiving the assistance they need. An extra $30,000 to allow Accent, UF's speakers bureau, to co-sponsor campus speakers initially was approved on first reading by the Student Senate Tuesday night. "The demand on campus for speakers has grown exponentially," Accent Chairman David Buchalter said. The money, which would come from Student Government reserves, is needed to allow Accent to fund commitments they already have made with other student groups and work with organizations that don't have as much experience bringing prominent speakers to UF, said Lohse Beeland, director of Student Activities. The bureau hopes to use the money to fulfill requests from eight student organizations that have approached Accent for help, Buchalter said. During the Fall, Accent spent about $170,000 of its approximately $366,000 annual budget. Increasing advertising expenses and competition among schools to attract speakers also adds to shortages, Beeland said. "The speakers at the level that Accent works with have very limited time," Beeland said. "It's market value, quite truthfully." In other Senate news, plans to put UF's yearbook on a CD and give it to all 6,200 students graduating this -Spring were put on hold pending more research. At a cost of $7 per CD, the Beeland bill, authored by Student Body Vice President Jennifer Puckett and Student Body Treasurer Dennis Ngin, called for $43,400 from SG reserves to have the yearbooks ready by May. During debate, senators proposed making a sign-up sheet to gauge demand for the yearbook or putting a digital copy online as an alternative to cut expenses. Less than 1,000 yearbooks were sold last year, Puckett said. If the CD yearbook is approved, it would supplement hard copy sales. The bill may be re-introduced once Puckett and Ngin are able to answer questions about student interest and the project's feasability. VP will handle raises FINALISTS, from page 1 Harper from the University of Utah and Paul Michaud from FIU. Allthree have more than 20 years experience in human resources. Harper worked with Machen when he was president at the University of Utah, and Michaud was hired by Patricia Telles-Irvin, UF's vice president of student affairs, when she' worked at FIU. The vice president likely will reorganize human resources to -handle faculty hiring, pay and benefits, which the provost's office and individual colleges now handle. "I don't see there are any glaring problems with the current setup, but there may be efficiencies or coordination benefits that could be gained by collecting all the personnel applications under one lead organization," Frazier said. Faculty UF and staff AdminiStratiOn h a v e s 0t m e things in common, such as pay and benefits, but other things differ, including tenure and promotion. The vice president will handle a host of issues, including merit-based raises, the prospect of faculty unionization, same-sex partner benefits and discrimination complaints. Leaders praise solidarity of tsunami response VIGIL, frompage 1 the tsunami did not pause to ask if its victims were Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish or Christian. She also discussed the need to think of the victims as individuals rather than statistics. "We are numbed by the numbers," she said. "The numbers mean nothing if we don't translate them." More, than 150,000 lives were lost as a result of the Dec. 26 calamity. Narayanan encouraged attendees to think about committing to long-term donations. In India, she said, people do not donate amounts that end in zero, but would rather give $11 or $101, signifying a commitment to the next .ten, hundred or thousand dollar donation. "Let us give that extra dollar," she said. Vikram Rangala, an advisor for the Honors Program, echoed the sentiment by invoking Mother Teresa, urging attendees to give until it hurts. "I pray that we will answer the tsunami with a tidal wave of love, compassion and generosity that is also undiscriminating," he said. Market means more opt for jobs than grad school JOBS, from page 1 that fewer students are electing to attend graduate school. Sara Hamersma, assistant professor of economics at UF, said she observed a marked increase in the number of students applying to graduate school in the past few years, but now that number is thinning out. During the recession, Hamersma said, companies downsized, and with competition getting tough for scarcer jobs, many students were electing to continue their studies. But since the recession has started to ease, she said she has seen a decrease in enrollment. "There are more opportunities with a bachelor's degree now," she said. Enrollment in Teach for America, an alternative program to graduate school or entering the work force, also has seen a decline. In 2002, Teach for America saw a record number of UF applications with 72, up from 2001, when there were only 16. But Mekia Love, southern recruitment director for Teach for America, said UF saw a decline in 2003, with 67 students applying. START AT THE NATION'S LARGEST INDEPENDENT COLLEGE NEWSPAPER.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 9 STUDENT LIFE Proposed legislation stems Pell Grant bleeding By EMILY YEHLE Alligator Writer eyehle@alligator.org Students worried about losing their Pell Grants next Fall because of a change in a federal formula have some sympathetic congressional Democrats on their side. Rep. Tim Bishop, D-NY, and Rep. Rush Holt, D-NJ, have introduced a bill that would stop the U.S. Department of Education from updating a federal formula that determines how much a student's family can spend on college. Rep. George Miller, D-CA, a senior Democrat on the House Education and the Workforce Committee, is a co-sponsor. Under the changes, about 1.3 million students nationwide could lose $100 to $300 of their award, and almost 90,000 could lose it altogether, according to the American Council on Education. About 8,000 UP students depend on Pell Grants for their college and living expenses. "Mr. Holt believes that no student should have their Pell Grant eliminated or cut while they are in college if their economic status has not changed," said Holt's communications director, Patrick Eddington. The current formula is based on 1988 tax data, while the new formula will use 2002 information. Due to the change, students who currently receive the Pell Grant may lose their eligibilty because their families look richer with the new formula than with the current calculation. But updatStearns ing to 2002 data is worse than not updating at all, Eddington said. The economy is different now than it was in 2002. "The updated information that the Department of Education is using to change the tax tables is still several years out of date and does ,not accurately reflect families' current economic situation," he said. However, Rep. Cliff Steams, who represents most of Gainesville, issued a statement that said the Democrats' bill inaccurately assumed that the Bush administration was reducing the Pell Grant program. The formula change, he said, actually helps the neediest students. "It makes it possible for the U.S. Department of Education to end the use of outdated IRS tax tables to ensure that federal financial aid goes to students with the greatest financial need," the statement read. .Although a few students will lose Pell Grant eligibility under the formula, the change will not be as drastic as the media reports, said Ron Anderson, associate director of UF Student Financial Affairs. "It seems a little more gloom and doom than it is to certain students," he said. A year ago, Congress passed a bill that postponed the formula changes until 2005. Anderson said he doubted Congress would make a similar decision by passing Bishop and Holt's bill. "It doesn't seem likely that this counter-bill is going to work," he said. Florida citrus industry launches 'healthy' ad campaign THIS YEAR'S GRAPEFRUIT CROP IS 68 PERCENT SMALLER THAN 2004. By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer Florida's citrus industry is on the verge of being sucked dry, and students are not sweetening the situation. According to America's Breakfast Council, a circle of doctors and nutritionists formed by the Florida Department of Citrus, two-thirds of young adults do not eat breakfast because of lack of time. Along with the hurricanes last year and new dieting trends, it has put a burden on Florida's $9 billion citrus industry. Compared to the 2003-04 growing season, this year's orange crop is 30 percent smaller, and the grapefruit crop is 68 percent smaller, according to the Citru Education Center in Lake Alf largest citrus research facility. Center spokesman Andrew dieting trends did not help ma "I don't eat breakfast too busy. At most, I'll g to go." "We did a recent study that diets have had a direct impact tion," Meadows said. However, recent ads have on the horizon for citrus grow "We have launched an a s Research and paign that the industry has come behind, red, the world's and the decline has slowed significantly," Meadows said.

"I have a glass of OJ or milk when I can, but if not, I have a soda or a beer." Adults who do not eat breakfast are four times more likely to be obese, said Gail C. Rampersaud, assistant in nutrition research and education for the UF Food Science and Human Nutrition Department and member of America's Breakfast Council. "Breakfast is -just an important part of a healthy lifestyle," said Rampersaud, who is also a registered dietician. "It's just like getting a jump start on your day." Rampersaud recommends students keep healthy foods regularly available at home to avoid the temptation of fast food. She recommends low-fat yogurt, a bagel with low-fat cream cheese and "100 percent orange juice" to start off the morning. Come Back Gators! isn't it time you were rewarded for your success?

10, ALLIGATOR N WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 2005 INTERNATIONAL Students react to new prime minister By STEVE SPECHT Alligator Writer What will happen now that the deceased Yasser Arafat has been replaced by Mahmoud Abbas as president of the Palestinian Authority on Monday? The response depends on who is answering. Gators for Israel, an. organization concerned with Israeli issues and the nation's right to exist, is optimistic about Abbas' ability to bring peace to a region that has seen continuing violence since Israel was founded in 1948. President Britt Tevis said Abbas is a much more moderate leader, who already has called for the end to the ongoing conflict known as the Al-Aqsa Intifada, and she is looking forward to seeing how Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Abbas will work for peace. "Sharon actually called Abbas after the election," she said, citingthe congratulatory telephone call to Abbas on Tuesday. This is a step away from Sharon's attitudes toward Arafat, whom he called an archterrorist. "I think. haAing an optimistic attitude will propel the peace process," she said. However, not everyone shares her positive outlook. Nakba '48, an organization striving to create awareness of the situation of the Palestinian-people, is wary of the new president and still worries about what is in store for the region. Stephanie Bendeck, president of Nakba '48, argues that no matter who was elected, the same problems exist. "I don't know if [Abbas is] going to be that much better," she sa id. "I'd like to think that he'll make a difference, but a lot of that has to be reflected on the Israeli side." Bendeck also is concerned Palestinian refugees were not represented in the election as a result of their low-voter turnout caused by travel restrictions imposed by Israel. Abbas won the Palestinian election with 62.3 percent of the vote, according to The Associated Press. President Bush also expressed willingness to work with the new president, extending an invitation for Abbas to visit the White House. K Thirsty for knowledge?

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 19 Parker pleads not guilty in first court appearance By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org Major Parker, a former UF men's basketball team captain and assistant to Coach Billy Donovan, made his first appearance in federal court Tuesday. Before Federal Magistrate Alan Komblum at the Federal Courthouse in Gainesville, Parker pleaded not guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute and possession with the intent to distribute more than 500 grams of cocaine, three counts of distributing cocaine and one count of distributing and possessing with the intent to distribute cocaine. According to court documents, the charges stem from sales of cocaine to an undercover Gainesville Police Department officer on multiple dates from Nov. 1 to Dec. 7, when Parker was arrested. Kornblum issued a Feb.14 trial for Parker to begin at 8:30 a.m. Following his appearance, Parker, who was free on $100,000 bond, received pre-trial release and was allowed to leave accompanied by his wife, father and sister. While Parker must obtain clearance from a supervising officer to leave the area, his attorney, John Stokes, said his client has no intention of returning to his hometown of Fort Lauderdale. "Major Parker has no plans right now to change his life in any way other than to fully comply with the court orders, to review the discovery in his case, to prepare his case for resolution, whatever that'may be, and to continue to lead -a very valuable and productive life," Stokes said. Jerry Sanford, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney in Gainesville, said the charges of possession with intent to distribute Parker carry a penalty of five to 40 years in prison, while the remaining counts carry anywhere from one to 20 years. In addition, Kornblum said Parker could be fined up to $2 million for each of the possession with intent to distribute charges and $1 million each for the other three. Stokes reserved comment on the possibility of Parker receiving a plea deal and declined to discuss facts of the case while evidence is being reviewed. Stokes, however, said that Parkei's spirit remains high. "[Parker] has very positive mindset," Stokes said. "He's looking toward the future, resolving this case and getting on with his life. "I'm confident when the evidence comes out, and everything is heard in this case that Major Parker will one day be able t6 get on with his life," Stokes said. "This will be a disappointing memory, but one that he can still move on and have an extremely productive life." Standout sophomore chosen as co-captain -By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer dtreat@aligator.org While seniors are traditionally the ones who take on leadership roles, the UF gymnastics team has one promising sophomore who has been up to the task. Samantha Lutz, a sophomore from Grove City, Ohio, was elected as co-captain this season after receiving All-American honors her freshman year. "It's tough to put into words [what she's done for UF]," Coach Rhonda Faehn said. "What I love about Sam is that she's an extremely focused individual. She has the perfect combination of athletic ability and the right mindset. She puts her priorities in order and she's a very smart gymnast." The last thing that you would ever hear, however, is Lutz bragging about her accomplishments. "I guess the -All-American honors and those types of things are nice along the way," Lutz said. "But if there's one thing that I could take with me from here, [it] would be that national title for the amount of trust in the coaching staff was one the biggest reasons why she chose UF over Michigan or Iowa. "I felt like Rhonda was someone who is obviously technically a great gymnastics coach," Lutz said. "She knows everything there is to know about gymnastics. She's not afraid to push us to our limits, but at the same time, she knows when maybe it would be best to back off. She has a really unique relationship with the athletes." Lutz proved her mettle shortly after her debut for the Gators. Inserted in the all-around in her first collegiate meet, Lutz won the competition in a dual meet with Georgia with a score of 39.45. She was the first Gators gymnast ever to win her all-around debut. That success is nothing new to Lutz. She is a two-time winner of the Junior Olympics uneven bars championships -something she calls one of her greatest achievements prior to playing for UF. Lutz was one of seven Gators to gain All-American recognition last season as the squad took fifth place at the NCAA team." Championships.

"I've never had to sacrifice any other part of my life for gymnastics, even though oftentimes I chose to. But it was never forced upon me, and that makes a big .-difference. Another Gator injured By MICHAEL MAURINO Alligator Writer mmaurino@alligator.org Sophomore guard Kim Dye injured her left knee during Sunday's pre-game practice, and is now out for the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament and partially torn medial collateral ligament. Coming into this season, Coach Carolyn Peck knew that UF's depth would be seriously challenged. The team would rely on a motion offense andia defense looking to apply constant pressure, and depend on all 11 players for significant tions. Now, UF will only be able to dress nine playDye ers, further straining its depth. Dye joins junior guard Danielle Santos on the injured list. Peck said Santos is improving after suffering a stress fracture in her right foot on Dec. 19, but there is no timetable for her return. Despite the fact that UF will be shorthanded for the rest of the season, some players aren't concerned. "With the nine we have right now, we're doing good," junior forward Bernice.Mosby said. "I think the team is adjusting well to it. We'll be all right." The injuries coincide with senior forward Tashia Morehead return to the lineup. Morehead started the seasonwith a strained right quad and sprained her left ankle against Stetson a month later. Morehead has started the last two games against Arkansas and Auburn, scoring 11 and three points, respectively.

Sports WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.aIlligator.org/sports Freshmen face fierce SEC road By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org Al Horford is accustomed to hostile crowds. As a senior in high school, UF's freshman starting center was berated by opposing fans. "When I committed [to UFI in high school, they did the Florida State chant," Horford said with a smile. "In 4 every away game, they had the student section do the Florida State chant. They even played the song, actually." While Horford may have received abuse from high. school kids and played in front of relatively large crowds as an EA Sports All-Star, he has yet to experience fife on the road in the Southeastern Conference. "Auburn is a difficult team to guard because they have the ability to shoot the three. And not only do they shoot the three, but they have guys on the perimeter who can put the ball on the floor and drive to the basket." Billy Donovan UF men's basketball coach At 8 p.m., the Gators (9-3, 1-0 SEC) will facgc Auburn in their first league road game of the season. And for UF's five freshmen, it will represent their first taste of adversity. The Gators have been on the opposing side of a roaring crowd once this season, and it didn't go well for them. Just 10 days ago, UF suffered a 13point loss to Florida State in its first road game of the season. Horford and other Gators, however, believe they've learned from the incident. "I think it definitely is a wake-up call," senior forward David Led said. Lee said he thinks that before the FSU game, the young players didn't really understand how daunting a collegiate road game can be, primarily due to UF-friendly crowds in Miami and Jacksonville -the sites of UF's only previous games outside of Gainesville. "I hate to say this, but it could've been a great learning experience for our team," Lee said. But Coach Billy Donovan hopes that his team not only has learned to overcome a foreign crowd but also to defend the perimeter. Before the Arkansas game Saturday, opponents had made 49 Nick West/ Alligator Staff Freshman forward Al Horford has enjoyed the confines of the O'Connell Center in nine of his first 12 games, but that's about to change. percent of their three-point' shots against UP. Against FSU, the Gators allowed the Seminoles to shoot 60 percent from three-point territory. But the Gators improved their perimeter defense against the Razorbacks, allowing a 38.9-percent mark from beyond the arc. Donovan hopes his team continues that improvement against smaller but quick and sharp-shooting Auburn. "Auburn is a difficult team to guard because they have the ability to shoot the three," Donovan said. "And not only do they shoot the three, but they have guys on the perimeter who can put the ball on the floor and drive to the basket." The Tigers (9-5, 0-1 SEC) have a lineup featuring one player taller than 6-foot-6, compared to UF's seven, but also two of the SEC's top scorers. Freshman 6-foot-1 guard Toney Douglas is tied with Mississippi State forward Lawrence Roberts, averaging a league-best 18.8 points per game. Donovan wants his team to be patient and use its size and physical advantage like it did against Arkansas. "We have got to balance between inside and outside [shooting] in this basketball game," Donovan said. "I don't think we want to get into a situation where we want to match them three-point shot to three-point shot, because they have a lot more threepoint shooters than we do." Forgotten shooter must regain touch is contagious eyes and goofy smile make him "da bomb" with the girls. Now it's time for his game to make him a permanent hit with the guys. It's time for Lee to lead the Gators' charge. It's time for Lee to be the replacement piece to a UF puzzle that misses Matt Walsh. And I'm not talking about David Lee here. David already understands he needs to be taking mismatched Southeastern Conference defenders to school. This is about Lee Humphrey. This is about a shooter who is a man, but looks like a boy and plays somewhere in between on the court. Monday, Billy D made a shocking, but somewhat true statement: when Walsh returns later this season, he won't be the same player because of lost conditioning, That's where Humphrey comes in. But he can't show up when Walsh does. That would be no better than hopping on Kobe Tyrant's I red and black sport bike for Louis a ride to the NBA titde -you Lus don't want Kobe behind you on Anastasis the back seat and you'll never Louis in the Bullpen get there anyway. Ianastasis@aligator.org No, Humphrey must face the flames starting tonight against Auburn. He has to, because no one else can replace what Walsh contributed to the Gators in both stats and wins. David can get you the points and rebounds, but only Humphrey can compensate for Walsh's threepointers and perimeter defense. And the Fab Five freshmen have already turned in a better genuine performance on the court than Chris Webber and Juwan Howard have ingenuously done in court. Mohamed Abukar has already -well, he's being tutored on defense by San Diego Charger Donnie Edwards back home in Call. Humphrey is the only experienced player capable of patching UF's wounds. And if you question his ability to do so, he'll tell you otherwise. Humphrey will tell you about last season, when -despite failing to play more than nine minutes in any of the first four games -he thrived as a starter after Christian Liar bolted for the "La Tomatina" festivities in Spain. Humphrey will show you highlights of his buzzer-beating Crimson Blood-lettingshot that downed Alabama in the SEC Tournament. Then Humphrey will argue with math: the Gators are 9-3 when he makes at least two three-pointers in a game and 9-3 in SEC games in which Humphrey plays at least 20 minutes. This season, the Tennessee country bqy with the soft touch has been off to a slow start. But he's getting there. Humphrey combined for six threes and eight assists against the Semen-oles and the Taterbacks. But if the Gators are going to tread water without Walsh, Humphrey has to be even better. C'mon Lee. Show us you can do it. Show us you can ball. Show us there's so much more to see than the eyes and the smile. "No, but that might be the way to go.
