Former Access



party renamed


* THE NEW PHOENIX PAR-
TY IS ONE OF NINE RUN-
NING IN SG ELECTIONS.

By STEPHEN MAGRUDER
Alligator Writer
smagruder@alligator.org

The leaders of the former
Access Party made a mytho-
logical move Wednesday by as-
suming the name The Phoenix
Party for the upcoming Spring
election.
The name change occurred
after party leaders unsuccess-
fully tried to re-acquire their
original n.! ae which was regis-
tered last week by Florida Blue
Key member Michael Shine.
"We wanted a party name
that would convey all the
things that we were feeling,"
said party advisor Andre
Samuels.
"The mythology of it paral-
lels our reality," he said.
According to legend, the
birdlike phoenix lived for 500
years, burned and later rose
from the ashes to live again.
Despite the new name and
logo, Samuels said the party
will be made up of the same
members and work toward the
same ideals that brought Access
into power last Spring.
"The party was always big-
ger than the name," he said.
A nominating convention,
which will be held in two
weeks, will allow Access vol-
unteers from the 2004 elections
to votefor students who wish
to run on the Phoenix Party
ticket.
"We want everyone to come
out and watch and participate,"
Samuels said.

Using previously held party
names, as well as having insid-
ers set up "dummy parties so
students 'don't know who to
vote fbr" are typical of SG's
past, Samuels said earlier.
In 2004, Access, Innovate
and Keg were the only parties
on the Spi ing ballot.
"I see all these parties as
actually a good thing," Student
Body President Jamal Sowell
said.
He added that when stu-
dents see multiple qualified
candidates running for office,
they also may become inspired
to get involved.
Students who wish to cre-
ate a party must apply at the
Student Activities Center by
Feb. 15.

Inmate's death likely a suicide


By: ELIZABETH PRANN
Alligator Writer

The Alachua County Sheriff s Office is investigating the
apparent suicide of a county jail inm .te in the fifth such
attempt to take place at the jail since July 2004.
John McPherson, 42, purportedly took his life by hang-
ing himself in his cell, ASO spokesman Jim Troiano said.
McPherson was charged with aggravated fleeing and
attempting to elude Gainesville police during an alleged
robbery on Nov. 16. He had been at the jail since Jan. 6.
Detention staff found McPherson when they brought
the deceased his breakfast and started CPR, continuing
until paramedics arrived. McPherson was pronounced
dead at the scene, Troiano said.
McPherson was alone in a two-person cell, a fact
Troiano said was due to that particular portion of the
jail- the adult male high-felony section- having only 28
of 32bunks occupied. Prisoners in this section are usually
housed in pairs.
McPherson left two notes, Troiano said, and although


the contents of those notes could not be released, Troiano
said they were extensive.
"There was a lot of information di-cuiss.ed however, I
cannot go into the contents of the note at this time."
Troi,amo said MIcPher-on presented no pret ious suicidal
tckdencie's hen he i-went through the routine scri-enring
process.
"We had no idea he was going to kill himself.
It was up to [the inmates] as well as the de-
tention staff, and we had no indication."
Jim Troiano
ASO spokesman

"This is an important thing to deal with when you're
taking away someone's liberty," Troiano said.
There were no reports from fellow inmates of conspicu-
ous behavior from McPherson.

Fraternities face sanctions for conduct violations


By KYLIE CRAIG
Alligator Writer
kcraig@alligator.org

Two UF fraternities face possible sanctions after reports
of underage drinking, hosting an unregistered "pre-party"
and extending the pledge process beyond the allotted ten-
week period.
Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity was charged in violating
the Student Conduct Code by allowing underage drinking
at an unregistered pre-party on Sept. 25, a few hours prior
to the fraternity's registered safari party, where a 17-year-
old girl claims she was sexually assaulted by a fraternity
member.
The alleged pre-party incident involved four members
of the fraternity and three underage females. All names-
were redacted from public records without explanation.
Older brothers reportedly asked if anyone wanted alco-


hol before purchasing it for the underage females.
One of the females involved said there were about 15
couples at the fraternity hou-e prior to the party. They ar-
rived early because they knew they would be unable to
drink once the party began, she said.
According to reports, those involved began drinking in
different rooms of the fraternity\ house around 9 p.m
"We're redoing our risk management with our
events to make sure nothing of this nature can
ever happen again."
Chris Bucciarelli
Sigma Phi Epsiion president

Another woman involved, who admitted to drinking al-
cohol the night of the party, but not at the Sigma Phi Ep-ilon
fraternity house. arrived at about 11 p.m. She said there was


no guest list, and she was not checked in at the door.
.Chris Bucclarelli, Sigma Phi Epsilon president, said the
incident involved a few individuals who "wanted to do their
own thing."
The fraternity has already begun to punish some of the
individuals involved, and one member of the fraternity has
been suspended, he said.
Bucciarelli also mentioned changes the fraternity is mak-
ing regarding future house events.
SWe're redoing our risk management with our events to
make sure nothing of this nature can ever happen again,"
he said.
Charges were also filed against the Pi Kappa Phi
Fraternity for allegedly not initiating members by Nov. 6.
The date marked the end of the maximum ten-week pledge
process allowed by the university.
The fraternity has accepted all responsibility for the al-
legations.

GPD holds off on using 50,000-volt Taser shock device


* THE DEVICES ARE BELIEVED TO BE
RELATED TO TWO RECENT DEATHS.

By ELIZABETH PRANN
Alligator Writer

Unruly Gainesville residents will continue
to be spared from a possible 50,000-volt Taser
shock from police.
Gainesville Police Department spokesman
Keith Kameg said his police agency is holding
off arming their patrol officers with devices
made by Taser International Inc. until thor-
ough research and analysis of the weapon n and
its possible consequences is completed
The Security and Exchange Commission
also launched an investigation last week into
claims made by Taser based on company -con-
ducted safety studies of its device.
Two recent Florida deaths involving
police altercations in Pensacola and Naples
have been alleged to be related to the shock
delivered by Taser de\-ices. Howev\-er, both'


of those deaths also involved cocaine, which
some medical experts believe may exacer-
bate the risk of heart failure, according to the
Ass-ociated Press. Agitation or underlying
health problems could also be risk factors.
Taser International Inc. stands by its prod-
ucts.
"Taser technology saves lives every day,
and the use of Taser devices dramatically
reduces injury rates for police officers and sus-
pects.' according to a company press release.
Kameg said GPD is investgatng every
possible aspect of implementing use of Taser
devices, but his agency feels no urgency to
do so.
Many human-rights advocates want law
enforcement to stop using Taser devices until
Scientific evidence can show they don't kill.
According to an Amnesty International
report, the majority of police departments
in the United States using Taser devices are
in Florida. and police ma\ like Taser devices
because the\ are easy to car y, usable at a
distance and capable ot immobilizuinga tar-


get without, supposedly, causing permanent
injury.
In additionto safety concerns, Kameg said
supplying the approximately 300-member
team would be an expensive feat, considering
an hour ot training can cost up to $10,l000.
Security instructor Dane Dodd, a UT grad-
uate, under\nent what he
called general-application
training for proper use of a
Taser gun five 'ears ago.
He explained the
shock as being extremely
unco mfortable and stun-
ningly painful, making the
Kameg weapon very effective.
"Tasers are a useful tool
for officers," Dodd said.
However, Dodd also emphasized the,
responsibility that comes with carrying the
weapon. He said that an otticer should ex-
haust all avenues before using a Taser device
on an uncontrollable individual.
"The profile'o f'aof serious threat amnust be


dearly defined." Dodd said. "They must
kno\i their subject cannot be controlled and
there is a high degree of agitation."
let Taser devices are not considered fire-
arms. which makes them legal tocarryinmost
states without permits. That makes them legal
for UF student and nightclub bouncer Jordan
laglich to wield.
"I've been in a situation where a Taser
would have been beneficial," the Velvet
Lounge bouncer said.
He remembers a situation last year when
an altercation broke out in front of the club and
the appro.irnately 12 to 15 bouncers w working
that night were unable to settle the ro%\dy
crowd.
However, Maglich said he does not carry
any weapon when he works, and there are no
plans for him to start carrying a Taser or any
other weapon in the future.
Calls regarding the possibility of bouncers
' arrning Taser w\ eapon- \ were made to se\ eral
(,Gaine-ille-area, nightclubs, including Velvet
Lounge and :0S. but were not returned

NATIONAL

Investigation into CBS report intrigues professors


By MEGAN V. WINSLOW
Alligator Writer

Recent turmoil concerning
CBS's failure to accurately exam-
ine President Bush's Vietnam-era
military record piqued the atten-
tion of several UF professors, who
have followed the scandal since it
broke nearly four months ago.
During the Sept. 8 broadcast
of "60 Minutes: Wednesday," TV
news veteran Dan Rather, armed
with four memoranda suggest-
ing Bush had received prefer-
ential treatment as a National
Guardsman, called the president's
military career into question.
An independent investigative
panel recently released its find-
ings that the documents were
ne. er properly authenticated The
CBS news division suffered from
a severe lack in judgment, the in-
vestigators concluded..
As. a result, four of the
network's top journalists found


themselves out of a job Monday.
Jon A. Roosenraad, assistant
dean of UF's College of Journalism
and Communications, diligently
followed the affair since CBS was
placed under scruntin\
"I think it iwas similarr to the
New York Times and Jayson Blair
[scandal]," said Roosenraad, who
teaches a class entitled "Problems
and Ethics of Journalism in
Society." "It started at the top and
reflected a total breakdown of the
system of what was supposed to
havebeen a ver ti l- proof, highly
respected news organization."
Telecommunications professor
-Joseph Glover agrees
"It's just another chipping
away at the veneer of trust that
CBS has tried to build up, that all
of the net. i-.i.lhks e tried to build
up," he said. "The problem is that
this affects the press in general,
;Tlevi ioni niews in particular. '
XAlthough the panel concluded
it could not prove whether the


broadcast was sparked by po-
litical bias during an election year,
UF College Republican'- President
Hunter Williams said he believes
the incident is another prime ex-
.ample of a liberal leaning in the
media.
"It's just another chipping
away at the veneer of trust
that CBS has tried to build
up, that all of the networks
have tried to build up."
Joseph Glover
telecommunications professor

"Releasing. fake documents
about a political candidate, no
matt~ i. hat party they belong to,
when the documents are obvious-
ly fake, is a clear bias," Williams
said. "The only reason you do that
is because you want to hit [Bush],
and you're betting that nobody's


going to notice or it's going to be
too late."
Mary Mapes, who produced
the segment, was among those
chastised by the panel for allow-
ing the story to run.
Mapes did not contact the
memo's anonymous source, sup-
plied by retired National Guard
Lt. Col. Bill Burkett, and was
unable to verify the document's
accuracy.
"It's dilticult to believe that
there wasn't some willingness on
the part of the reporters, the pro-
ducers, to accept what was before
them, what seemed to them to be
obvious,"-Glover said. "It's dif-
ficult to believe that there wasn't
some sort of political predilection
clouding their judgment."
Brendan [Moore. UF College,
Democrats spokesman, said the
"liberal news bias" is exaggerated.
.ltthough he said he religious l\i
watches both CNN and Fo\ News\
Channel, Moore said the media


primarily fails to live up to its
responsibility as a "watchdog of
politicians."
"It's true that CBS did not
check their facts it's true that
they should have made sure the
memo was legitimate," he said.
"However, the mainstream media
focused on this memo, and they
did not focus on the fact that there
are legitimate questions about
Bush's record in the National
Guard."
Nevertheless, Roosenraad and
Glover said they plan to make the
CBS blunder an important topic of
conversation among the students
in their journalism classes.
"It will be part of the lesson-
on being diligent about checking
your facts and about making sure
you have good sources and more
than one source, and that you
don't let your own predilections,
your own biases, affect your re-
porting," Glover said. "It's a very
good lesson in the basics."


New medical metaphors increase patient satisfaction


* ABOUT HALF THE U.S. ADULT
POPULATION FINDS MEDICAL INFOR-
MATION DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND.

By SKYLER SMITH
Alligator Writer

It ma\ not be aid\i-able for physicians to
speak like five-star generals to their patients,
according to a new UF study.
Dr. Gary M. Reisfield, a professor at the UF


Health Science Center in Jac kson\ilUe. recently
published a study on doctors' use of meta-
phor. with their iil patients in the journal of
Clinical Oncology
"WAars on drugs. poverty and illiterac\ per-
iade our socieh. and \ ar tal k is eas1l adapt-
able to cancer," Re-stield -aid in a release
According to the study, the human brain is
wired to operate in metaphors, processing ab-
stract or complex\ concepts- in part b\ thinking
ot analogies derived from more familiar e\pe-
rience- Comparing a patient's struggle with


disease to a mil tar) battle can have unsettling,
violentt overtones.
Reifield bcgan- the stud\ when his aunt

UF and her knee a part needing
Research lephlcement
"She was incensed by
this comparison and refused to go back to
him," he -aid "It's very dehumanizing to be
compared to a mechanical thing."
Roughly 90 million American adults


- about half of the U.S. adult population
- find it difficult to understand basic medi-
cal information, according to an Institute of
_Medicine studio published last year. Choosing
metaphors wisely can increase patient satisfac-
tion, improve healthcare outcomes and reduce
healthcare costs, said Dr. George-R Wilson III,
with whom Reisfield conducted the study.
The team scoured books, ne 4\ papers and
Web logs for metaphors and concluded that
while no metaphors are right or wrong, there
are appropriate comparisons for each patient.

UF PROJECTS

UF, engineering firms work on "green" gas station


By JEFF SIRMONS
Alligator Writer
jsirrnons@alligator.org

Soon, UF students could fill their gas tanks
while breathing fresh air at the world's first
"green" gas station.
UF's Rinker School of Building
Construction and Design is working with
Gainesville engineering firms to produce the
first energy-efficient convenience store with a
gas station and a Quiznos Sub. To become the
fourth "green" Gainesville building, they must
comply with standards set by Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED.
"In the long run, it costs less, it makes more
money and ithelps the environment along the


way, so it's a win, win, win situation," said
Dave Newport, director of the office of sus-
tainability at the school.
The Pantry Inc. plans on using this conve-
nience store as a model for future stores and
remodeling to current locations, Newport
said.
"This is not just a little thing-it's a big
thing. More than 100 sites will be guided by
this site," Newport said.
There is a possibility that the convenience
store will operate on power generated from
windmills in Kansas, Newport said.
-There will be an electric vehicle charging
station at the gas station, and also an infra-
structure that could support more advanced
fuels such as hydrogen, Newport said.


"In the long run, it costs less, it
makes more money and it helps
the environment along the way, so
it's a win, win, win situation."
Dave Newport
Rinker School of Building Construction and
Design director of the office of sustainability

"It's way ahead of its time," Newport said.
To further help the community, Quiznos
will hire children involved in the Reichert
House, a youth mentoring program for at-risk
children, Newport said.
Robert Walpole, lead civil engineer with
Causseaux & Ellington Inc., said the LEED


qualifications should be used as the bench-
mark for all future buildings.
"Obviously, the Pantry has very high stan-
dards by getting LEED certified," Walpole
said.
The convenience store starts construction
in July and should be finished no later than
December, if the proposal is passed by the City
Commission, Walpole said.
The convenience store will be located at
Main Street and North 16th Avenue, replacing
the now-vacant Dodge car dealership.
Gainesville is home to three buildings that
meet LEED standards, including UF's Rinker
Hall the new UF Orthopaedics and Sports
Medicine Institute and the Alachua County
Courthouse Criminal Justice Center.

Students returning to Riker Hall
for Spring were greeted with signs

A fire sprinkler system had
finally been installed in the dorm
after several setbacks.

Jail seeks improvements

SUICIDE, from page 1

"We had no idea he was going to kill himself," Troiano said.
"It was up to [the inmates] as well as the detention staff, and we
had no indication."
McPherson's room shows no signs of any suspicious activ-
ity or foul play, Troiano said.
The jail has been improving since the first suicide attempt
in July, such as replacing the normal 6-by-8-inch peep window
with glazed glass doors, which allows the detention staff to
clearly see into an inmate's cell, Troiano said.
"We are trying everything we can to keep those inmates and
our staff safe," he said.
However, Troiano said it is a difficult task because the previ-
ous attempts occurred in the section of the jail where inmates
suspected of having mental health issues are held. McPherson
was not in that area.
Troiano said he expects autopsy results today.

Editorial


Children first

Courts' priorities wrong

in adoption decisions
As cliche, as it sounds, it's time for somebody to think
about the children.
In a number of recent decisions, courts have been at-
tempting'to throw the institution of parenthood back in time to
the days when it was more socially acceptable to be a murderer
than a "bastard."
Evidence of this is not far from home. In Jacksonville, a
couple who raised a 3-year-old boy, Evan Johnson, since he was
two days old, have been ordered to give him to his biological
mother.
The mother, who had separated from the biological father
before she knew she was pregnant, had agreed privately to let
the defendants adopt Evan.
Two months after the couple began caring for the boy, the
father-not the mother-filed for custody before the adoption
could be finalized:
There were plenty of reasonable arguments for the father's
side. Since the adoption wasn't legally recognized yet, he had a
legitimate claim. Because Evan had been with his new family
for only two months, he may not have developed a bond with
them that would have been traumatizing to break.
But the father in the beginning did not even have the mother
on his side, as she supported the surrogate parents' right to keep
the boy--util it became apparent the father could win.
More importantly, after a long period of legal battles, Evan
has lived with the defendants for three years. To remove a child
from those who have been his parents in every sense but by law
for that long would be unconscionable.
This is not an issue of whether or not the result was right
under the law, but an issue of whether or not it was in the child's
best interests.
Unfortunately, the decision reflects the prevailing judicial
opinion throughout the state and the country that these are mat-
ters of parents' rights, rather than matters of children's rights.
Providing the most glaring evidence of this, the Supreme
Court has yet again cleanly extricated itself from the battle over
gay adoption.
Their continued refusal to consider this important social
issue is baffling. If the Supreme Court can see fit to rule on as
touchy a subjectt as the private practice of gay sex-a practice i
that does not affect public life, regardless of-whether or not you
agree with it on moral grounds-they most certainly should
not put off making a decision that could improve the lives of
thousands of children.
The principle is very simple: those who would make the best
parents should be allowed to adopt. If a gay couple can pass the
rigorous selection procedures and background checks that are
required under the current system, they should not be barred
from doing so.
Gay rights is and will continue to be a devisive issue in our
society. If the Supreme Court has decided if needs more time
to consider the correct position, fine. Better to make the choice
with" authority once than to deliver a wishy-washy plurality
that solves nothing.
But they should not duck the issue of adoption rights when
it comes up again. In the meantime, the right for our children to
have loving, supportive families is being neglected.
For the other cases, there is no excuse. When a suit such as
this comes up, there is only one thing the judge and jury must
do.
Think of the children.

Guest column

Democrats need clear goals, leaders


t hasn't been hard to argue with my Democratic
friends in recent years. The soulless party line they
follow ensures arguments without passion or rea-
son. I've found stirring up trouble is easy and entertain-
ing,.as unsustainable opposition often arises. You want
to encourage-hard work and smart investment? Then
tax the successful and give more to the mediocre. You
see inequality in the workplace and in schools? Then
give one group an advantage over another based solely
on race.
America clearly has turned away from many of the
classic liberal ideas that made the Democratic Party
strong and effective for decades.
Soon, it will be time for the Democratic Party to
choose its future. As party loyalists gather in Orlando,
they will be wise to remember'the lessons of 2004: never
forget the silent strength of the South, never underesti-
mate the power of decisive leadership and never deny,
the need for early, strategic planning.
While I tend riot to encourage the growth and
strengthening of the Democratic Party, as a political
nerd I'm somewhat, disgusted by the amorphous blob
that has formed from the carcass of the donkey killed
on Election Day. While I'll be a Republican until my
last vote is cast, I am disappointed to see a portion of
America represented only by the frightening figures of
Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy. The "leadership" of
the current Democratic Party has failed to define a vi-
sion for America's future.
There is little hope for the party as it stands today.
Some within the Democratic Party push for more of the
same: bland leadership, whiney dissent and undefined
policy. Other insiders call for the liberalization of the
party. Apparently, they want to create more distance


between the party and the thinking American voter.
Powerful Democrats should be shown the electoral
map, with its glorious spans of red. They should be re-
minded of the likely longevity of the Republican Party.
Regardless of the choice Democrats make in their Feb.
12 election, little change will occur in a party still cel-
ebrating its long-ago victories. The culture of America
has changed,but the party has failed to change with it.
As a card-carrying Republican, I'm not sad to see the
Democratic Party wither in the shadow of Republican
dominance. It's clear the Democratic Party needs new
life. The party needs a vision for America that can coun-
ter the clear Republican message. With the Republican
Party holding strong majorities in both houses of
Congress and in the presidency, the prospect of four
years of a purposeless minority seems dangerous to the
democratic process.
Democratic Party leadership has done little to inspire
and little to rally its troops. In the coming months, I
hope to hear something from the Democratic Party that
expresses a genuine plan for the future of America. The
Hillary Clintons and the Ted Kennedys are poor repre-
sentations of the beliefs of the average vyter. There is
hope for intelligent debate that will improve our politi-
cal process, but it can't come without a vision from the
left.
Until the Democratic Party defines itself as some-
thing other than "Not-the-Republican Party," it will be
easy to negate their arguments. To my friends on the
left, get it together-It'll be 2006 before you know it,
and we'll again meet on the political battlefield. This
time, I'd like to see you bring some ammunition.
Ail.,'ii Cilliii is a political science and economics sopho-
more.

Letters to the Editor
Student ambivalence means SG in
danger of remaining a private club
Editor: The Access Party did the
unthinkable last Spring: they beat the
party in power and saw very high voter
turnout. We were all promised a party
for the students, but, after whispers of
future taps and other perks in the ears of
the Access presidential ticket by Florida
Blue Key, it appears they've turned their
backs on the Gators. They ran on minori-
ties versus white fraternities, sororities
and typical Student Government, but
now they've cut out the minorities and
transformed into the malevolent SG we
all know and hate. Student apathy is at an
all-time high, and, while it's great lots of
kids know who Jamal Sowell is, they still
couldn't give a dog's crap about SG.
History tells us this corruption of the
students' trust will lead to the party's
downfall, but what's the point if the pro-
cess will repeat itself endlessly?
Either something major and historic
happens this SG election season, or SG
will remain a private club for over-in-
volved, resume-boosting political science
majors and aspiring law students to let all
their egos blow up and brag about how
important they are.

Government should not use terror in Iraq


Recent report by Newsweek should alarm every decent
American. It revealed the Pentagon is debating whether to
se "death squads" to quell the rebellion in Iraq.
According to Newsweek, one Pentagon proposal "would send
Special Forces teams to advise, support and possibly train Iraqi
squads, most likely hand-picked Kurdish Peshmerga fighters
and Shiite militiamen, to target Sunni insurgents and their sym-
pathizers, ... It remains unclear, however, whether this would be
a policy of assassination or so-called 'snatch' operations, in which
the targets are sent to secret facilities for interrogation." The strat-
egy is being termed the "Salizador option," referring to the Reagan
administration's strategy of funding or supporting "nationalist"
death squads to defeat rebels in El Salvador-a strategy which led
to many civilian deaths.
What the Pentagon really is talking about here is creating an
Iraqi Gestapo that would help us by using terror to frighten Sunnis
into cooperating with the new government. Newsweek quoted
one anonymous military source as saying, "The Sunni population
is paying no price for the support it is giving to the terrorists. From
their point of view, it is cost-free. We have to change that equation."
But to "change that equation" by using terrorism would be tanta-
mount to selling America's soul. We are supposed to be fighting
a war against terror, after all. And there seems to be a trend here.
First, the Bush administration told us it was necessary to classify
suspects from the Middle East as "enemy combatants," denying


Jason Levitt them the Geneva Conventions' legal protec-
Speaking Out tions for prisoners of war. We have been told
to accept that most of the more than 500
prisoners in Guantanamo Bay still have not
been charged. The few who were released tell stories of torture and
brutality, but we have been told not to believe them.
And then came the photos from Abu Ghraib. This time, the
sadistic brutality was in full view of the American public. The
administration told us the actions-werethe results of a few twisted
individuals. So far, I have accepted that in war the lines between
right and wrong are blurred. Sometimes, in order to win, terrible
things must be done.
SCase in point: American war planes firebombed Tokyo during
WWII, killing thousands of civilians. Some of the pilots recalled
getting sick from the smell of burning flesh coming from below.
The horror of this act only was surpassed by the atomic blasts on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These terrible acts helped bring the war
to a close, and therefore were in some way justified.
But America is now embroiled in a different type of war. We are
not against a country but the technique of using terror to achieve
an objective. Already, the Pentagon has come dangerously close to
crossing the line. If it decides to proceed with the plan to use "death
squads," it will be crossed. We will then have become the enemy,
and therefore it will be us we must destroy.
Jason Levitt is a journalism senior.

'2 Pianos' not just for pianists


s the dark, n~ d theater is il-
luminated by the soft, glow
of overhead lighting, two
characters stand on stage. Not two
people, but two grand pianos.
Soon after follow two men, the
characters of Richard Greenblatt and
Ted Dykstra, the same names as the
creators of the most recent production
at the Hippodrome State Theatre.
After several minutes of the two
men nervously whispering, making
faces and shuffling around, their
fingers meet the ivory keys and "2
Pianos, 4 Hands" bursts to life with a
full classical piano duet.
"2 Pianos, 4 Hands," however, is
more than just classical music.
In fact, the musical selection rang-
es from John Lennon's "Imagine"
to Elton John's "Bennie and the
Jets," with everything from Bach to
Beethoven mixed in between.
"2 Pianos, 4 Hands" follows the


lives of two
pianists,
Richard,
played by
Richard
Todd
Angle De Angelis Adams,
At the Hipp and Ted,
theavenue@alligator.org played by
Tom Frey
Also serves
as the show's associate director.
Richard and Ted are the show's
main dchiactEi. but the actor-, al.o
play the role-s ot parent's teachers, and
piano instructors.
This production is a little bit of ev-
erything. Part comedy, part musical
and part drama '2 Pianos~, 4 Hands"
follows the Richard and Ted's lives
from their childhood lessons to their
adult searches for fame.
"2 Pianos, 4 Handm will appeal
not only to tho'.e who ha\ e endured


musical lessons, but to anyone who
has had to work to pertect a talent. It
is a story ot the a.pirarion to follow a
dream and the loss of letting it go.
Though lighthearted, the play il-
lustrates the delicate moment when
the characters come to terms with re-
ality in their searches for stardom. It
contrasts the humor that comes with
learning an instrument with the more
serious moments of moving on:
Frey and Adams are no strang-
ers to .their characters. Frey has
performed in more than 200 produc-
tions of "2 Hand., 4 Piano,," more
-than half of them opposite Adams.
The actors swiitched roles for their
Gainesville productions.
"2 Hands, 4 Pianos" runs until Jan.
30 at the Hippodrome State Theatre,
located at 25 SE Second Place.
To purchase tickets, contact the
Hippodrome at 375-HIPP or online at
www.thehipp.org.


'Pit' traps critic


in odd scenario
S ex, violence and profanity aren't what I normally
imagine when going to the theater; however, "The
r\oti ei Pit" isn't a normal play.
Shamrock McShane's unsettling piece deals with the
problems and issues of the public school system, and it
does so in a way I definitely did not expect.
"The Votive Pit" focuses on
various stereotypes of teachers
I remember from growing up
S -- the psychotic history teacher
S who dresses in Colonial get-up
for no reason, the flamboyant
guidance counselor, the over-
Heather Berger the-hill teacher who just won't
Curtain Call retire. This aspect is believable,
theavenue@alligator.org indeed.
I just don't remember having
teachers killing students at my middle school.
Things start to get strange right around there.
Suddenly there is blood, echoing voices and an old
woman making sexual innuendo with two Barbie dolls.

It presents important issues in today's schools such as

teachers have the audience playing the students.
They even sent an audience member "to the office" for
not obeying the dress code.
The spooky set establishes the mood for the play ee-
rie, yet somehow credible.
I am not used to small venues like The Acrosstown

Writer crosses into dark side with sordid short stories


Wonder how often Rod Liddle
heard he could go blind from
whacking off.
Because in his debut book, "Too
Beautiful for You," virtually no
sexual act goes unpunished.
Reading Liddle's collection of
interconnected stories is like having
sex in the backseat of a "Tales from
the Crypt" episode.
One woman, Anna, slowly turns
into a cockroach from a combination
of depilatory cream and hours in a
tafining booth. She also could have
metamorphosed due to a one-night
stand with a married man who has a
demon in his espresso machine.


Or maybe, just maybe, poor
Anna's skin turned black and shiny
because the insect life featured in an-
other strain of Liddle's world finally
rose up to overtake humanity.
The author, the associate editor
of a British news magazine called
The Spectator, gave up a position
as news editor of BBC's "The Today
Program" because of a conflict of
interest in writing his column in the
British newspaper The Guardian.
I can't imagine what kind of
journalist Liddle is, but he's a master
at holding back what journalists are
trained to shove up front: This man
paints a story in the negative space.


He is British, after all, and every-
thing is backward over there, right?
But the unveiling of critical
details turns all rules ass-end up.
Suddenly, a tale of a man getting a
blow job in a park from his mother-
in-law falls into a whole new light.
His stories no longer are sordid
bits of gratuitous fiction but depar-
tures in which Liddle succeeds in
taking the reader with him without
judgment, to view humanity's dark-
er side even though Liddle often
takes the reader where no person in
his right mind wants to go.
Liddle succeeds in being almost
funny even titillating in a


"Very Bad
Things"




Off the Press though
theavenue@alligator.org many have

like the man who craved his ex-
girlfriend because all her. impor-
tant parts tasted like Marmite and
Worcestershire sauce.
Liddle tipped his hand as a nov-
ice in the art of fiction the book's fi-


nal story, "The Lost Honor of Engin
Hassan." I knew I'd be cleaning my
mental palate with some chick lit
and waiting for his next book before
I proclaimed him a great read.
He wrote dialogue for a Muslim
terrorist using the exact turn of
phrase that fell out of the mouths
of his twenty-something South
Londoners. Proximity might have
sold "It's just not on" as a colloquial-
ism but not to the point of crossing
countries and cultures and into the
mouths of terrorists.
Just because the devil lived in
the espresso machine does not still
mean he's not still in the details.

MEN'S BASKETBALL

Lee disappears in lackluster first half at Auburn


By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
bapp@alligator.org

AUBURN, Ala. After his 4-point, two-
rebound performance against Florida State,
forward David Lee put in extra hours of
practice and seemingly earned his penance
with a team-high 17-point, seven-rebound
game against Arkansas.
hI the first half of UF's first SEC road
game Wednesday, however, Lee once again
disappeared.
Against Auburn, Lee had three turn-
overs, two fouls, one rebound and no
points while attempting one shot in the
opening period. Lee scored his first points
of the game with 18:28 remaining in the
second half.


SIZE DOESN'T MATER: Despite the vast
size advantage the Gators had against the
Tigers, Auburn outrebounded and out-
scored UF in the paint in the first half.
With only one player taller than 6-foot-6
on their roster, compared
to UF's seven, the Tigers
held a 15-14 rebounding
advantage and a 20-16
scoring advantage in the
paint at halftime.
But according to Lee,
the energy a team has
Lee playing on its home court
can outweigh any physical advantage.
The key to success, Lee said, is to re-
main humble, yet aggressive.
"It comes down to not going anywhere
V


and expecting to blow anybody out," Lee
said. "If you go in there thinking it's go-
ing to be an easy game because of a team's
record or a team's height, every team in
the SEC is very tough on their home floor.
You've got to go in there and grind it out,
possession by possession."

BEYOND BASKETBALL: For Donovan, coach-
ing goes beyond the hardwood.
Despite the fact that he doesn't agree
with some of the decisions made by some
of his former players including Teddy
Dupay's alleged gambling and Major
Parker's indictment on federal drug
charges, Donovan said he feels obligated
to help his former players recover in their
private and professional lives.


"I am disappointed at the decision
some young people have made," Donovai
said. "But for me, as a coach who coach
them and told them during the recruiting'
process 'I'll be by your side, I'll work witl
you,' and things like that, I think I have tc
be somewhat supportive and understand
that decisions were made that weren'
right."
In the wake of Parker's indictment
Donovan said he needs to aid, rather thai
shun, his former staff assistant:
"Now I have to try and help some o
those people," Donovan said. "I need t(
help Major Parker after this whole thini
finishes to be a contributor to society an
get his life back in order."


Roberson scores season-high


MEN'S, from page 20


rebounds and four steals in the final 25
minutes.
"In the first half, I was really taken
out with foul trouble," Lee said.
Along with Lee, a pair of UF fresh-
men played physically to shift a halftime
deficit into a momentum advantage.
Center Al Horford grabbed a team-
high 10 rebounds, while Brewer ignited
UF's play on both ends of the court.
Brewer, who finished with a career-
high 14 points, scored on three consecu-


tive shots less than four minutes into
the second period, capping a 10-0 half-
opening run.
But perhaps Brewer's greatest con-
tributions came on the other end of the
court.
With UF leading 67-65 with less
than a minute remaining in the second
half, Brewer stole the ball from Auburn
guard Ian Young at midcourt and raced
down the floor for a fast-break layup
11hile being fouled.
"I was reading them all game." said
Brewer who finished with three steals.
"I was just waiting for him to show me
the ball. And I went for it."


GREGG, from page 20


about Peck receiving Southeastern Conference
Coach of the Year consideration, let me be the
first. UF has done nothing but improve or find
ways to overcome obstacles since Peck's pain-
ful first year in 2002-03.
Now, before you think this column is
meant to gush over the Gators, a word of
caution: this all could come crashing down
in the SEC, perennially the best conference in
women's basketball Even with the slip-ups


Tennessee has had, the Vols could turn around
and whip UF's Gator-hide.
UF showed in 2004 that they can stand up
to the bullies in the SEC and pulled off the
huge upset against New Mexico in The Pit. It's
time for the ladies to take the next step.
I'll give them this: if they can go where no
UF basketball team in the last three years has
gone, then they would be the success story
that trumps any success story from 2004 in
Gainesville.
Likely, though, only 3,000 die-hard fans
-i ill notice.

I LOCKSLEY OFFICIALLY
)INED ILLINOIS STAFF.

By ERIC ESTEBAN
Alligator Writer

As the college football re-
uiting world turns, so do the
ators.
The past three months have
!en a period of transitional
cruiting for UF as coaching
aff members have come and
)ne. Now, Wednesday's loss
recruiting coordinator Mike
acksley could turn the Gators'
recruiting
world- up-
side down.
Locksley,
who also
served as
the run-
ning backs
cksley coach, was
one -of two
Members remaining from Ron
look's staff. Without him, the
ators might lose out on sev-
al prospects that were high.;
i Coach Urban Meyer and the'
:w staff.
"I think it's a significant
ss," said Jamie Newberg,
:out.com's national recruiting
lalyst. "He was the glue that
Ad the rcrLuiting together
r the transition period with
coach [Charlie] Strong.
"Losing a guy like Mike
xcksley will definitely prove
?stly. There is a handful of
iys that the Gators could lose
iton."


As recruiting coordinator,
Locksley was in charge of cen-
tral Florida and Georgia, as well
as recruiting in the Northeast
and west of the Mississippi.
Jerome Hayes, of Bayonne,
N.J., ranked the No. 14 lineback-
er in the nation by Scout.com,
also said that Locksley's depar-
ture could hurt UF's chances.
Losing Locksley to Illinois
will translate to even more
work for Meyer and his staff.
Meyer will prepare to host his
second v. av c vt i -i itne re ritut:,
Friday. Next week, he'll hit the
recruiting trail for in-home
visits.
"This is a good coaching
staff and Urban Meyer is a
good recruiter," Newberg said.
"However and this goes
with all coaching changes
- there is. a smaller recruiting
window and shorter amount of
time for recruits.to get to know
Meyer."
With signing day fast. ap-
proaching, Meyer will have
just three weeks to establish
relationships with recruits. But
Newberg said that if the new
staff works diligently, it could
still finish with a top recruiting
class.
"In a perfect world, kids
would choose a school based'
on the school and that's it," he
said. "The bottom line is that
the coachl plaN er relationship is
huge in the rccntiting proce-i "
Oral commitments are non-
binding until a national letter-
of-intent is signed on National
Signing Day on Feb 2

the independent florida versity of Florida Published by Campus Communications, Inc. of Gainesville, Florida We Inform. You Decide. T HURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 2005 Former Access party renamed E THE NEW PHOENIX PARTY IS ONE OF NINE RUNNING IN SG ELECTIONS. By STEPHEN MAGRUDER ,Alligator Writer smgruder@asIigator.org The leaders of the former Access Party made a mythological move Wednesday by assuming the name The Phoenix Party for the upcoming Spring election. The name change occurred after party leaders unsuccessfully tried to re-acquire their original name, which was registered last week by Florida Blue Key member Michael Shine. "We wanted a party name that would convey all the things that we were feeling,' said party advisor Andre Samuels. "The mythology of it parallels our reality," he said. According to legend, the birdlike phoenix lived for 500 years, burned and later rose from the ashes to live again. Despite the new name and logo, Samuels said the party will be made up of the same members and work toward the same ideals that brought Access into power last Spring. "The party was always bigger than the name," he said. A nominating convention, which will be held in two weeks, will allow Access volunteers from the 2004 elections. to vote for students who wish to run on the Phoenix Party ticket. "We want everyone to come out and watch and participate," Samuels said. The names of any potential Phoenix Party candidates have not yet been disclosed. Leaders first looked into modifying .their party name frem the Access Party to the Real Access Party to stand out, a suggestion made by Director of -Student Activities Lohse Beeland. They decided the similarity in names might confuse voters in the upcomSamuels ing elections, said Richard J. Rodriguez, Phoenix Party president. At least nine political parties are in various stages of approval with the Student Activities Center, including Access, Gator, Ignite, Keg, Phoenix, Progress, Strike Force, Student Alliance and Voice. Using previously held party names, as well as having insiders set up "dummy parties so students 'don't know who to vote for" are typical of SG's past, Samuels said earlier. In 2004, Access, Innovate and Keg were the only parties on the Spring ballot. "I see all these parties as actually a good thing," Student Body President Jamal Sowell said. He added that when students see multiple qualified candidates running for office, they also may become inspired to get involved. Students who wish to create a party must apply at the Student Activities Center by Feb. 15.

Inmate's death likely a suicide By: ELIZABETH PRANN Alligator Writer The Alachua County Sheriff's Office is investigating the apparent suicide of a county jail inmate, in the fifth such attempt to take place at the jail since July 2004. John McPherson, 42, purportedly took his life by hanging himself in his cell, ASO spokesman Jim Troiano said. McPherson was charged with aggravated fleeing and attempting to elude Gainesville police during an alleged robbery on Nov. 16. He had been at the jail since Jan. 6. Detention staff found McPherson when they brought the deceased his breakfast and started CPR, continuing until paramedics arrived. McPherson was pronounced dead at the scene, Troiano said. McPherson was alone in a two-person cell, a fact Troiano said was due to that particular portion of the jail-the adult male high-felony section-having only 28 of 32 bunks occupied. Prisoners in this section are usually housed in pairs. McPherson left two notes, Troiano said, and although the contents of those notes could not be released, Troiano said they were extensive. "There was a lot of information discussed; however, I cannot go into the contents of the note at this time." Troiano said McPherson presented no previous suicidal tendencies when he went through the routine screening process. "We had no idea he was going to kill himself. It was up to [the inmates as well as the detention staff, and we had no indication." Jim Troiano ASO spokesman "This is an important thing to deal with when you're taking away someone's liberty," Troiano said. There were no reports from fellow inmates of conspicuous behavior from McPherson.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 3 GREEK LIFE Fraternities face sanctions for conduct violations By KYLIE CRAIG Alligator Writer kcraig@alligator.org Two UF fraternities face possible sanctiOns after reports of underage drinking, hosting an unregistered "pre-party" and extending the pledge process beyond the allotted tenweek period. Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity was charged in violating the Student Conduct Code by allowing underage drinking at an unregistered pre-party on Sept. 25, a few hours prior to the fraternity's registered safari party, where a 17-yearold girl claims she was sexually assaulted by a fraternity member. The alleged pre-party incident involved four members of the fraternity and three underage females. All names were redacted from public records without explanation. Older brothers reportedly asked if anyone wanted alcohol before purchasing it for the underage females. One of the females involved said there were about 15 couples at the fraternity house prior to the party. They arrived early because they knew they would be unable to drink once the party began, she said. According to reports, those involved began drinking in different rooms of the fraternity house around 9 p.m. "We're redoing our risk management with our events to Make sure nothing of this nature can ever happen again." Chris Bucciareill Sigma Phi Epsilon president Another woman involved, who admitted to drinking alcohol the night of the party, but not at the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house, arrived at about 11 p.m. She said there was no guest list, and she was not checked in at the door. Chris Bucciarelli, Sigma Phi Epsilon president, said the incident involved a few individuals who "wanted to do their own thing." The fraternity has already begun to punish some of the individuals involved, and one member of the fraternity has been suspended, he said. Bucciarelli also mentioned changes the fraternity is making regarding future house events. "We're redoing our risk management with our events to make sure nothing of this nature can ever happen again," he said. Charges were also filed against the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity for allegedly not initiating members by Nov. 6. The date marked the end of the maximum ten-week pledge process allowed by the university. The fraternity has accepted all responsibility for the allegations. NA A ele ()1#4it Ci "Copyri hLjteria Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" GPD holds off on using 50,000-volt Taser shock device N THE DEVICES ARE BELIEVED TO BE RELATED TO TWO RECENT DEATHS. By ELIZABETH PRANN Alligator Writer Unruly Gainesville residents will continue to be spared from a possible 50,000-volt Taser shock from police. Gainesville Police Department spokesman Keith Kameg said his police agency is holding off arming their patrol officers with devices made by Taser International Inc. until thorough research and analysis of the weapon and its possible consequences is completed. The Security and Exchange Comnmission also launched an investigation last week into claims made by Taser based on company-conducted safety studies of its device. Two recent Florida deaths involving police altercations in Pensacola and Naples have been alleged to be related to the shock delivered by Taser devices. However, both of those deaths also involved cocaine, which some medical experts believe may exacerbate the risk of heart failure, according to the Associated Press. Agitation or underlying health problems could also be risk factors. Taser International Inc. stands by its products. I "Taser technology saves lives every day, and the use of Taser devices dramatically reduces injury rates for police officers and suspects," according to a company press release. Kameg said GPD is investigating every possible aspect of implementing use of Taser devices, but his agency feels no urgency to do so. Many human-rights advocates want law enforcement to stop using Taser devices until scientific evidence can show they don't kill. According to an Amnesty International report, the majority of police departments in the United States using Taser devices are in Florida, and police may like Taser devices because they are easy to carry, usable at a distance and capable of imm6bifliing a'target without, supposedly, causing permanent injury. In addition to safety concerns, Kameg said supplying the approximately 300-member team would be an expensive feat, considering an hour of training can cost up to $10,000. Security instructor Dane Dodd, a UF graduate, underwent what he called general-application training for proper use of a Taser gun five years ago. He explained the shock as being extremely uncomfortable and stunningly painful, making the Kameg weapon very effective. "Tasers are a useful tool for officers," Dodd said. However, Dodd also emphasized the responsibility that comes with carrying the weapon. He said that an officer should exhaust all avenues before using a Taser device on an uncontrollable individual. "The profile of a serious; threat must be clearly defined," Dodd said. "They must know their subject cannot be controlled and there is a high degree of agitation." Yet Taser devices are not considered firearms, which makes them legal to carry in most states without permits. That makes them legal for UF student and nightclub bouncer Jordan Maglich to wield. "I've been in a situation where a Taser would have been beneficial," the Velvet Lounge bouncer said. He remembers a situation last year when an altercation broke out in front of the club and the approximately 12 to 15 bouncers working that night were unable to settle the rowdy crowd. However, Maglich said he does not carry any weapon when he works, and there are no plans for him to start carrying a Taser or any other weapon in the future. Calls regarding the possibility of bouncers carrying Taser weapons were made to several Gainesville-area nightclubs, including Velvet Lounge and :08, but were not returned.

4, ALLIGATOR Ui iTUR.SD'AY JANUA'l 1,'2005 NATIONAL 11nvesation into CBS report intrigues professors By MEGAN V. WINSLOW Alligator Writer Recent turmoil concerning CBS's failure to accurately examine President Bush's Vietnam-era military record piqued the attention of several UF professors, who have followed the scandal since it broke nearly four months ago. During the Sept. 8 broadcast of "60 Minutes: Wednesday," TV news veteran Dan Rather, armed with four memoranda suggesting Bush had received preferential treatment as a National Guardsman, called the president's military career intoquestion. An independent investigative panel recently released its findings that the documents were never properly authenticated. The CBS news division suffered from a severe lack in judgment, the investigators concluded. As a result, four of the network's top journalists found themselves out of a job Monday. Jon A. Roosenraad, assistant dean of UF's College of Journalism and Communications, diligently followed the affair since CBS was placed under scrutiny. "I think it was similar to the New York Times and Jayson Blair [scandal]," said Roosenraad, who teaches a class entitled "Problems and Ethics of Journalism in Society." "It started at the top and reflected a total breakdown of the system of what was supposed to have been a very fail-proof, highly respected news organization." Telecommunications professor Joseph Glover agrees. "It's just another chipping away at the veneer of trust that CBS has tried to build up, that all of the networks have tried to build up," he said. "The problem is that this affects the press in general, television news in particular." Although the panel concluded it could not prove whether the broadcast was sparked by political bias during an election year, UF College Republicans President Hunter Williams said he believes the incident is another prime example of a liberal leaning in the media. "It's just another chipping away at the veneer of trust that CBS has tried to build up, that all of the networks have tried to build up." .Joseph'Glover telecommunications professor "Releasing fake documents about a political candidate, no matter what party they belong to, when the documents are obviously fake, is a clear bias," Williams said. "The only reason you do that is because you want to hit [Bush], and you're betting that nobody's going to notice or it's going to be too late." Mary Mapes, who produced the segment, was among those chastised by the panel for allowing the story to run. Mapes did not contact the memo's anonymous source, supplied by retired National Guard Lt. Col. Bill Burkett, and was unable to verify the document's accuracy. "It's difficult to believe that there wasn't some willingness on the part of the reporters, the producers, to accept what was before them, what seemed to them to be obvious," Glover said. "It's difficult to believe that there wasn't some sort of political predilection clouding their judgment." Brendan Moore, UF College Democrats spokesman, said the "liberal news bias" is exaggerated. Although he said he religiously watches both CNN and Fox News Chanrel, Moore said the media primarily fails to live up to its responsibility as a "watchdog of politicians." "It's true that CBS did not check their facts -it's true that they should have made sure the memo was legitimate," he said. "However, the mainstream media focused on this memo, and they did not focus on the fact that there are legitimate questions about Bush's record in the National Guard." Nevertheless, Roosenraad and Glover said they plan to make the CBS blunder an important topic of conversation among the students in their journalism classes. "It will be part of the lesson on being diligent about checking your facts and about making sure you have good sources and more than one source, and that you don't let your own predilections, your own biases, affect your reporting," Glover said. "It's a very good lesson in the basics." new medical metaphors increase patient satisfaction II ABOUT HALF THE U.S. ADULT POPULATION FINDS MEDICAL INFORMATION DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND.

THURSDAY, JANUARY!l:32005 N ALLIGATOR, 5 UF PROJECTS UF, engineering firms work on greene" gas station By JEFF SIRMONS Alligator Writer jsirmons@alligator.org Soon, UF students could fill their gas tanks while breathing fresh air at the world's first "green" gas station. UF's Rinker School of Building Construction and Design is working with Gainesville engineering firms to produce the first energy-efficient convenience store with a gas station and a Quiznos Sub. To become the fourth "green" Gainesville building, they must comply with standards set by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED. "In the long run, it costs less, it makes more money and it helps the environment along the way, so it's a win, win, win situation," said Dave Newport, director of the office of sustainability at the school. The Pantry Inc. plans on using this convenience store as a model for future stores and remodeling to current locations, Newport said. "This is not just a little thing-it's a big thing. More than 100 sites will be guided by this site," Newport said. There is a possibility that the convenience store will operate on power generated from windmills in Kansas, Newport said. -There will be an electric vehicle charging station at the gas station, and also an infrastructure that could support more advanced fuels such as hydrogen, Newport said. "In the long run, it costs less, it makes more money and it helps the environment along the way, so it's a win, win, win situation." Dave Newport Rinker School of Building Construction and Design director of the office of sustainability It's way ahead of its time," Newport said. To further help the community, Quiznos will hire children involved in the Reichert House, a youth mentoring program for at-risk children, Newport said. Robert Walpole, lead civil engineer with Causseaux & Ellington Inc., said the LEED qualifications should be used as the benchmark for all future buildings. "Obviously, the Pantry has very high standards by getting LEED certified," Walpole said. The convenience store starts construction in July and should be finished no later than December, if the proposal is passed by the City Commission, Walpole said. The convenience store will be located at Main Street and North 16th Avenue, replacing the now-vacant Dodge car dealership. Gainesville is home to three buildings that meet LEED standards, including UF's Rinker Hall the new UF Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine Institute and the Alachua County Courthouse Criminal Justice Center. Six-string Sarah Sarah Tobing, playing electric gutiar, was one of many performers at the twice-monthly Asian Poetry Open Mic at the Orange and Brew Wednesday night. The show, put on by the Asian Student Union, featured a variety of poets, guitarists, singers and comedians. Open Mic started about a year ago in celebration of Kaleidoscope Month, which is also Asian Awareness Month. Dorm sprinkler work underway E THE RENOVATION FACED SEVERAL SETBACKS. By LINDSAY PETER Alligator Contributing Writer Students returning to Riker Hall for Spring were greeted with signs taped to each of their doors reading: "Until further notice, sprinkler heads are inactive!" A fire sprinkler system had finally been installed in the dorm after several setbacks. "Normally a project of this scope would take 90 to 180 days," said Mark Hill, assistant director of housing for facilities management. "We anticipated 180, but it has gone a little longer." Billy Mathis, project manager, said the first pi-oblem was finding qualified, local workers to complete the project. Then workers found wooden boards connected to utility wiring needed to be removed and the wiring replaced. Inspections by Environmental Health and Safety further slowed the process. Riker Hall also had portions of its electrical system and fire alarm updated to comply with fire codes. New water lines were installed around the building, and piping was pressure-tested before being placed in the ceiling. System tests still need to be conducted in February and March, with the majority of the testing.-being completed during Spring Break. Installation forced workers to be on the floors of Riker Hail the majority of Fall, with the exception of the first two weeks of school and final exam week. "They should have finished it during a time when we didn't have school because it makes it hard to concentrate," said UF freshman Katie Sexauer. The setbacks experienced in Riker have helped to prepare for the same installations in other dorms, Hill said. All dorms will get similar renovations as needed. Updated systems will feature a temperature-activated sprinkler system and a standing pipe system in the stairwells. The 'total cost of the sprinkler systems will be between $9 million ,and $10 million. All dorms sreschedult t, have fire sprinklersby 2011.

"It was up to [the inmates] as well as the detention staff, and we had no indication." McPherson's room shows no signs of any suspicious activity or foul play, Troiano said. The jail has been improving since the first suicide attempt in July, such as replacing the normal 6-by-8-inch peep window with glazed glass doors, which allows the detention staff to clearly see into an inmate's cell, Troiano said. "We are trying everything we can to keep those inmates and our staff safe," he said. However, Troiano said it is a difficult task because the previous attempts occurred in the section of the jail where inmates suspected of having mental health issues are held. McPherson was not in that area. Troiano said he expects autopsy results today. ---------------

6, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 2005 Editorial Children first Courts' priorities wrong in adoption decisions clich6, as it sounds, it's time for somebody to think about the children. In a number of recent decisions, courts have been attempting to throw the institution of parenthood back in time to the days when it was more socially acceptable to be a murderer than a "bastard." Evidence of this is not far from home. In Jacksonville, a couple who raised a 3-year-old boy, Evan Jolhrson, since he was two days old, have been ordered to give him to his biological mother. The mother, who had separated from the biological father before she knew she was pregnant, had agreed privately to let the defendants adopt Evan. Two months after the couple began caring for the boy, the father-not the mother-filed for custody before the adoption could be finalized: There were plenty of reasonable arguments for the father's side. Since the adoption wasn't legally recognized yet, he had a legitimate claim. Because Evan had been with his new family for only two months, he may not have developed a bond with them that would have been traumatizing to break. But the father in the begirming did not even have the mother on his side, as she supported the surrogate parents' right to keep the boy-until it became apparent the fatlier could win. More importantly, after a long period of legal battles, Evan has lived with the defendants for three years. To remove a child from those who have been his parents in every sense but by law for that long would be unconscionable. Tis is not an issue of whether or not the result was right under the law, but an issue of whether or not it was in the child's best interests. Unfortunately, the decision reflects the prevailing judicial opinion throughout the state and the country that these are matters of parents' rights, rather than matters of children's rights. Providing the most glaring evidence of this, the Supreme Court has yet again cleanly extricated itself from the battle over gay adoption. Their continued refusal to consider this important social issue is baffling. If the Supreme Court can see fit to rule on as touchy a subject as the private practice of gay sex-a practice that does not affect public life, regardless of whether or not you agree with it on moral grounds--fhey most certainly should not put off making a decision that could improve the lives of thousands of children. The principle is very simple: those who would make the best parents should be allowed to adopt. If a gay couple can pass the rigorous selection procedures and background checks that are required under the current system, they should not be barred from doing so. Gay rights is and will continue to be a devisive issue in our society. If the Supreme Court has decided it needs more time to consider the correct position, fine. Better to make the choice with authority once than to deliver a wishy-washy plurality that solves nothing. But they should not duck the issue of adoption rights when it comes up again. In the meantime, the right for our children to have loving, supportive families is being neglected. For the other cases, there is no excuse. When a suit such as this comes up, there is only one thing the judge and jury must do.

The soulless party line they follow ensures arguments without passion or reason. I've found stirring up trouble is easy and entertaining,.as unsustainable opposition often arises. You want to encourage hard work and smart investment? Then tax the successful and give more to the mediocre. You see inequality in the workplace and in schools? Then give one group an advantage over another based solely on race. America clearly has turned away from many of the classic liberal ideas that made the Democratic Party strong and effective for decades. Soon, it will be time for the Democratic Party to choose its future. As party loyalists gather in Orlando, they will be wise to remember the lessons of 2004: never forget the silent strength of the South, never underestimate the power of decisive leadership and never deny, the need for early, strategic planning. While I tend riot to encourage the growth and strengthening of the Democratic Party, as a political nerd I'm somewhat disgusted by the amorphous blob that has formed from the carcass of the donkey killed on Election Day. While I'll be a Republican until my last vote is cast, I am disappointed to see a portion of America represented only by the frightening figures of Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy. The "leadership" of the current Democratic Party has failed to define a vision for America's future. There is little hope for the party as it stands today. Some within the Democratic Party push for more of the same: bland leadership, whiney dissent and undefined policy. Other insiders call for the liberalization of the party. Apparently, they want to create more distance between the party and the thinking American voter. Powerful Democrats should be shown the electoral map, with its glorious spans of red. They should be reminded of the likely longevity of the Republican Party. Regardless of the choice Democrats make in their Feb. 12 election, little change will occur in a party still celebrating its long-ago victories. The culture of America has changed, but the party has failed to change With it. As a card-carrying Republican, I'm not sad to see the Democratic Party wither in the shadow of Republican dominance. It's clear the Democratic Party needs new life. The party needs a vision for America that can counter the clear Republican message. With the Republican Party holding strong majorities in both houses of Congress and in the presidency, the prospect of four years of a purposeless minority seems dangerous to the democratic process. Democratic Party leadership has done little to inspire and little to rally its troops. In the coming months, I hope to hear something from the Democratic Party that expresses a genuine plan for the future of America. The Hillary Clintons and the Ted Kennedys are poor representations of the beliefs of Ihe average vpter. There is hope for intelligent debate that will improve our political process, but it can't come without a vision from the left. Until the Democratic Party defines itself as something other than "Not-the-Republican Party," it will be easy to negate their arguments. To my 'friends on the left, met it together-It'll be 2006 before you know it, and we'll again meet on the political battlefield. This time, I'd like to see you bring some ammunition.

THURSDAY, JANUARY T3, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 7 Letters to the Editor Student ambivalence means SG in danger of remaining a private club Editor: The Access Party did the unthinkable last Spring: they heat the party in power and saw very high voter turnout. We were all promised a party for the students, but, after whispers of future taps and other perks in the ears of the Access presidential ticket by Florida Blue Key, it appears they've turned their backs on the Gators. They ran on minorities versus white fraternities, sororities and typical Student Government, but now they've cut out the minorities and transformed into the malevolent SG we all know and hate. Student apathy is at an all-time high, and, while it's great lots of kids know who Jamal Sowell is, they still couldn't give a dog's crap about SG. History tells us this corruption of the students' trust will lead to the party's downfall, but what's the point if the process will repeat itself endlessly? Either something major and historic happens this SG election. season or SG will remain a private club for over-involved, resume-boosting political science majors and aspiring law students to let all their egos blow up and brag about how important they are. Joseph Argento 5EG Guest Column Government should not use terror in Iraq recent report by Newsweek should alarm every decent American. It revealed the Pentagon is debating whether to ise "death squads" to quell the rebellion in Iraq. According to Newsweek, one Pentagon proposal "would send Special Forces teams to advise, support and possibly train Iraqi squads, most likely hand-picked Kurdish Peshmerga fighters and Shiite militiamen, to target Sunni insurgents pnd their sympathizers, .It remains unclear, however, whether this would be a policy of assassination or so-called 'snatch' operations, in which the targets are sent to secret facilities for interrogation." The strategy is being termed the "Salvador option," referring to the Reagan administration's strategy of funding or supporting "nationalist" death squads to defeat rebels in El Salvador-a strategy which led to many civilian deaths. What the Pentagon really is talking about here is creating an Iraqi Gestapo that would help us by using terror to frighten Sunnis into cooperating with the new government. Newsweek quoted one anonymous military source as saying, "The Sunni population is paying no price for the support it is giving to the terrorists. From their point of view, it is cost-free. We have to change that equation." But to "change that equation" by using terrorism would be tantamount to selling America's soul. We are supposed to be fighting a war against terror, after all. And there seems to be a trend here. First, the Bush administration told us it was necessary to classify suspects from the Mliddle East as "enemy combatants," denying Jason Levitt them the Geneva Conventions' legal protecSpeaking Out tons for prisoners of war. We have been told to accept that most of the more than 500 prisoners in Guantanamo Bay still have not been charged. The few who were released tell stories of torture and brutality, but we have been told not to believe them. And then came the photos from Abu Ghraib. This time, the sadistic brutality was in full view of the American public. The administration told us the actions were the results of a few twisted individuals. So far, I have accepted that in war the lines between right and wrong are blurred. Sometimes, in order to win, terrible things niust be done. .Case in point: American war planes firebombed Tokyo during WWII, killing thousands of civilians. Some of the pilots recalled getting sick fr'm the smell of burning flesh coming from below. The horror of this act only was surpassed by the atomic blasts on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These terrible acts helped bring the war to a close, and therefore were in some way justified. But America is now embroiled in a different type of war. We are not against a country but the technique of using terror to achieve an objective. Already, the Pentagon has come dangerously close to crossing the line. If it decides to proceed with the plan to use "death squads," it will be crossed. We will then have become the enemy, and therefore it will be us we must destroy. Jason Levitt is a journalism senior.

Richard and Ted are the show's main characters, but the actors also play the roles of parents, teachers and piano instructors. This production is a little bit of everything. Part comedy, part musical and part drama, "2 Pianos, 4 Hands" follows the Richard and Ted's lives from their childhood lessons to their adult searches for fame. "2 Pianos, 4 Hands" will appeal not only to those who have endured pianists musical lessons, but to anyone who has had to work to perfect a talent. It is a story of the aspiration to follow a dream and the loss of letting it go. Though lighthearted, the play illustrates the delicate moment when the characters come to terms with reality in their searches for stardom. It contrasts the humor that comes with leaning an instrument with the more serious moments of moving on. Frey and Adams are no strangers to their characters. Frey has performed in more than 200 productions of "2 Hands, 4 Pianos," more than half of them opposite Adams. The actors switched roles for their Gainesville productions.

Shamrock McShane's unsettling piece deals with the problems and issues of the public school system, and it does so in a way I definitely did not expect. "The Votive Pit" focuses on various stereotypes of teachers I remember from growing up the psychotic history teacher who dresses in Colonial get-up for no reason, the flamboyant guidance counselor, the overHeather Berger the-hill teacher who just won't Curtain Call retire. This aspect is believable, theavenue@a1ligator.org indeed. I just don't remember having teachers killing students at my middle school. Things start to get strange right around there. Suddenly there is blood, echoing voices and an old woman making sexual innuendo with two Barbie dolls. It might have been a dream sequence, but I didn't get it. Despite what seemed to go over my head, "The Votive Pit" has some great aspects that kept me very interested. It presents important issues in today's schools such as illiteracy, violence and cultural diversity. I loved how the teachers have the audience playing the students. They even sent an audience member "to the office" for not obeying the dress code. The spooky set establishes the mood for the play -eerie, yet somehow credible. I am not used to small venues like The Acrosstown Repertory Theatre, but it certainly added to my appreciation of the play. I was so involved that it kept me wondering, and that's why I am so unsettled about it today. Maybe that was the point after all. For all of you intellectuals who love to analyze, "The Votive Pit" should be a great match. Maybe afterward, you can explain it to me. "The Votive Pit" plays at The Acrosstown Repertory Theatre from Thursday to Saturday until January 29. The show begins at 8 p.m., and tickets are $7 for students and $9 otherwise.

I was disappointed to see a gaming theavenseealseator.org But that's series with such inventive gameplay not true for fall prey to character cliches. While the series' last installment, Sands of Time, had the flair of an Arabian swashbuckling adventure, 0 the bleak atmosphere of Warrior Within turns it into a hackneyed tale of revenge, fate or something I quickly learned not to care about. The Prince's persona, darkened by years of fleeing an unstoppable beast, is not the inventive series twist its makers must have imagined, marring an otherwise fun game. The combat is a constant reward. Sands of Timeveterans willbe thrilled to find the Prince deadlier than ever. He can throw, strangle, kick, disarm and pick up enemy weapons for impressive dual-wield moves or throw the game's abysmal sound. The trademark Arabian music is almost completely absent, and even if you like the trash Godsmack contributes, you'll get sick of hearing the same two guitar tracks over and over. The sound effects are no better. Screeching death throws are painful, and the Prince's one-liners are so bad, you almost want to let him die. But the core gameplay of improved combat and magnificent platformihg make Warrior Within a worthy installment to a great series. I advise you to play this game.

Proceeds 'To lave Peter, Pawt will benefit the Civic Learn a sono of'MLYWj -I her roots. We're really lucky to get someone of her talent." Renowned musician Utah Phillips also praises Feeney, calling her "the best labor singer in North America." "Honestly, Utah Phillips is one of very few people that I would accept that praise from," Feeney says. "In my opinion, and probably lots of other folks, he is the best labor singer in North America. But it's really not about being the best for me, I'm just thrilled to be able to do this work." Perhaps Feeney's highest compliment comes from Peter, Paul and Mary, who cover her tribute M L4 to those who stand up for their beliefs, "Have bOuokt m1 ogdtar SO I You Been M e d i a cotdA Learn all of tel rsonos wken I was 16 0ears old. to Jail for Center and Justice?," Alachua County It'S a p rettU .'u4nueAoWi twi.4 of qfevets," on their Labor Party's campaign to put universal healthcare on Florida's ballot in 2006. "It'll be a great time," Feeney says. "The Matheson Museum is a wonderful place to hear music, and you'll be supporting the Just Health Care Campaign of the Labor Party. Even if you're not one of the 49 million uninsured folks in this country, you ought to be concerned about this crisis." Joe Courter, a founding member of the CMC, says he-is thrilled to have Feeney in Gainesville. "Anne Feeney is a treasure," he says. "She sings about labor and topical information that's typically not heard on the radio. While she could lend herself more to radio and larger audiences, she chooses to stay true to boxed set, Anrg FtW OO "Carry It On." "To have Peter, Paul and Mary learn a song of mine -I bought my guitar so I could learn all of their songs when I was 16 years old," Feeney says. "It's a pretty marvelous turn of events." The lyrics sung by Feeney, whose raw and honest voice often takes on reggae, hip hop and ska styles, should resonate with fans of artists like Woody Guthrie or Rage Against the Machine. Tickets are $7 at Goerings and Wild Iris book stores, or $10 at the door. Expect an intimate setting with a lot of audience interaction. "[My live show is] kind of like coming over to my house and rooting through my closets," Feeney says. "I'm never sure exactly what's going to unfold over the course of the evening." Writer crosses into dark side with sordid short stories Wonder how often Rod Liddle heard he could go blind from whacking off. Because in his debut book, "Too Beautiful for You," virtually no sexual act goes unpunished. Reading Liddle's collection of interconnected stories is like having sex in the backseat of a "Tales from the Crypt" episode. One woman, Anna, slowly turns into a cockroach from a combination of depilatory cream and hours in a taiming booth. She also could have metamorphosed due to a one-night stand with a married man who has a demon in his espresso machine. Sushi 101 Sushi = Japanese Sushi = Kotobuki _:s7 Newsday, NYPost, Christian Science Monito Aflma byiJonathan Caoutte TAR NATION wwwji-saw-tarnation.com _Sh__iimes 7pma & 9pma Sbhowtiraai Lasi Niewhi Hippodrome Cinema 375-HIPP Or maybe, just maybe, poor Anna's skin turned black and shiny because the insect life featured in another strain of Liddle's world finally rose up to overtake humanity. The author, the associate editor of a British news magazirie called The Spectator, gave up a position as news editor of BBC's "The Today Program" because of a conflict of interest in writing his column in the British newspaper The Guardian. I can't imagine what kind of journalist Liddle is, but he's a master at holding back what journalists are trained to shove up front: This man paints a story in the negative space. He is British, after all, and everything is backward over there, right? But the unveiling of critical details turns all rules ass-end up. Suddenly, a tale of a man getting a blow job in a park from his motherin-law falls into a whole new light. His stories no longer are sordid bits of gratuitous fiction but departures in which Liddle succeeds in taking the reader with him without judgment, to view humanity's darker side -even though Liddle often takes the reader where no person in his right mind wants to go. Liddle succeeds in being almost funny -even titillating -in a "Very Bad Things" sort of way. His writing is rich with heady Cher PhillpS d e t a i l s Off the Press though theavenue@alligator.org many have B r i t i s h references, like the man who craved his exgirlfriend because all her. important parts tasted like Marmite and Worcestershire sauce. Liddle tipped his hand as a novice in the art of fiction the book's final story, "The Lost Honor of Engin Hassan." I knew I'd be cleaning my mental palate with some chick lit and waiting for his next book before I proclaimed him a great read. He wrote dialogue for a Muslim terrorist using the exact turn of phrase that fell out of the mouths of his twenty-something South Londoners. Proximity might have sold "It's just not on" as a colloquialism but not to the point of crossing countries ind cultures and into the mouths of terrorists. Just because the devil lived in the espresso machine does not still mean he's not still in the details.

18, ALLIGATOR N THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 2005 EN'S BASKETBALL Lee disappears in lackluster first half at Auburn By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org AUBURN, Ala. -After his 4-point, tworebound performance against Florida State, forward David Lee put in extra hours of practice and seemingly earned his penance with a team-high 17-point, seven-rebound game against Arkansas. In the first half of UF's first SEC road game Wednesday, however, Lee once again disappeared. Against Auburn, Lee had three turnovers, two fouls, one rebound and no points while attempting one shot in the opening period. Lee scored his first points of the game with 18:28 remaining in the second half. SIZE DOESN'T MATTER: Despite the vast size advantage the Gators had against the Tigers, Auburn outrebounded and outscored UF ih the paint in the first half. With only one player taller than 6-foot-6 on their roster, compared to UF's seven, the Tigers held a 15-14 rebounding advantage and a 20-16 scoring advantage in the paint at halftime. But according to Lee, the energy a team has playing on its home court can outweigh any physical advantage. The key to success, Lee said, is to remain humble, yet aggressive. "It comes down to not going anywhere and expecting to blow anybody out," Lee said. "If you go in there thinking it's going to be an easy game because of a team's record or a team's height, every team in the SEC is very tough on their home floor. You've got to go in there and grind it out,' possession by possession." BEYOND BASKETBALL: For Donovan, coaching goes beyond the hardwood. Despite the fact that he doesn't agree with some of the decisions made by some of his former players -including Teddy Dupay's alleged gambling and Major Parker's indictment on federal drug charges, Donovan said he feels obligated to help his former players recover in their private and professional lives. "I am disappointed at the decision some young people have made," Donovai said. "But for me, as a coach who coache them and told them during the recruitin< process 'I'll be by your side, I'll work witl you, and things like that, I think I have t( be somewhat supportive and understan that decisions were made that weren' right." In the wake of Parker's indictment Donovan said he needs to aid, rather thai shun, his former staff assistant. "Now I have to try and help some o those people," Donovan said. "I need t( help Major Parker after this whole thin finishes to be a contributor to society an get his life back in order." Roberson scores season-high MEN'S, from page 20 rebounds and four steals in the final 25 minutes. "In the first half, I was really taken out with foul trouble," Lee said. Along with Lee, a pair of UF freshmen played physically to shift a halftime deficit into a momentum advantage. Center Al Horford grabbed a teamhigh 10 rebounds, while Brewer ignited UF's play on both ends of the court. Brewer, who fished with a careerhigh 14 points, scored on three consecutive shots less than four minutes into the second period, capping a 10-0 halfopening run. But perhaps Brewer's greatest contributions came on the other end of the court. With UF leading 67-65 with less than a minute remaining in the second half, Brewer stole the ball from Auburn guard Ian Young at midcourt and raced down the floor for a fast-break layup while being fouled. "I was reading them all game," said Brewer who finished with three steals. "I was just waiting for him to show me the ball. And I went for it." GREGG, from page 20 about Peck receiving Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year consideration, let me be the first. UF has done nothing but improve or find ways'to overcome obstacles since Peck's painful first year in 2002-03. Now, before you think this column is meant to gush over the Gators, a word of caution: this all could come crashing down in the SEC, perennially the best conference in women's basketball. Even with the slip-ups Tennessee has had, the Vols could turn around and whip UF's Gator-hide. UF showed in 2004 that they can stand up to the bullies in the SEC and pulled off the huge upset against New Mexico in The Pit. It's time for the ladies to take the next step.

tHURSbA, jAiTVAi1VA,'2bl5'iliirOr40 I LOCKSLEY OFFICIALLY )INED ILLINOIS STAFF. By ERIC ESTEBAN Alligator Writer As the college football reuiting world turns, so do the ators. The past three months have en a period of transitional cruiting for UF as coaching aff members have come and ne. Now, Wednesday's loss recruiting coordinator Mike >cksley could turn the Gators' recrui tin g world upside down. -~Locksley, Who also erved as the rnning backs cksley coach, was one -of two embers remaining from Ron jok's staff. Without him, the ators might lose out on seval prospects that were high 1 Coach Urban Meyer and the, w staff. "I think it's a significant ss," said Jamie Newberg, :out.com's national recruiting ialyst. "He was the glue that Aid the recruiting together r the transition period with coach [Charlie] Strong. "Losing a guy like Mike >cksley will definitely prove >stly. There is a handful of iys that the Gators could lote it on." As recruiting coordinator, Locksley was in charge of central Florida and Georgia, as well as recruiting in the Northeast and west of the Mississippi. Jerome Hayes, of Bayonne, N.J., ranked the No.14 linebacker in the nation by Scout.com, also said that Locksley's deparftire could hurt UF's chances. Losing Locksley to Illinois will translate to even more work for Meyer and his staff. Meyer will prepare to host his second wave of visiting recruits Friday. Next week, he'll hit the recruiting trail for in-home visits. "This is a good coaching staff and Urban Meyer is a good recruiter," Newberg said. "However -and this goes with all coaching changes -there is a smaller recruiting window and shorter amount of time for recruits to get to know Meyer." With signing day fast approaching, Meyer will have just three weeks to establish relationships with recruits. But Newberg said that if the new staff works diligently, it could still finish with a top recruiting class. "In a perfect world, kids would choose a school based on the school and that's it," he said. "The bottom line is that the coach/player relationship is huge in the recruiting process." Oral comnitments are nonbinding until a national letterof-intent is signed on National Signing Day on Feb. 2. Peck: UF shouldn't focus on Tigers' ranking oach's exit %o uld be costly Senior guard Tamia Williams enters the LSU game after scoring 45 combined points against Arkansas and Auburn, earning SEC Co-Player of the Week honors. Filling in for Santos, Williams gives the team credit for her success. "I have to give all credit to my teammates for having total confidence in me and supporting and encouraging ne," she said. "Coach is very encouraging and she's given me an opportunity to play some good minutes. And I think so far I've been going pretty good." WOMEN'S ,from page 20 doesn't matter what kind of uniform the other team has on. You have great respect for them, but you just go out and play the game." 'Hoosiers' is the tale of a small-town Indiana high school basketball team who defeats a large city high school to win the state title. In the movie, the coach constantly reminds his players to play to their potential and to ignore the hype surrounding the opposition. The Gators were in a similar position earlier in the season when they traveled to then-No. 6 Baylor. UF struggled early, but after drawing close in the first half, fell 89-62. For some players, the hype surrounding that matchup affected them "I think I had a lot of nerves coming into that game," said junior forward Bernice Mosby, who spent much of the contest in foul trouble. "So I think I learned a lot from that game. And exen though you're facing top opponents, you've still got to take it one game at a time." Peck and her players agree it will take a team defensive effort to win. However, LSU's Augustus and senior guard Temeka Johnson provide a dual scoring threat. "I don't think we're going to shut down Seimone Augustus. I don't think we're going to just shut down Temeka Johnson," Peck said. "We're going to have to play great team defense and then execute well on the offensive end." After relying on departed center Vanessa Hayden to carry the team last season, Mosby said defense nO longer comes down to one player. "We're more as a team, more as a unit," she said. "We trust in each other a lot more, especially on defense." Following the losses of starting guard Danielle Santos to a stress fracture in her right foot and sophomore Kim Dye to torn left knee ligaments, only nine players will dress for UF. Yet, others have stepped into the spotlight to cover for the lost personnel. Thursday, Jan. 13th IT @ 6:30 PM sec supel-saven The first 1,000 fans will receive a FREE TICKET PACAGE!

Green netted 8 points. By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org AUBURN, Ala. -Coming into his team's first Southeastern Conference road game against Auburn, Coach Billy Donovan vocalized a key concern: He didn't want the Gators to get into a three-point shooting contest. Fortunately, they did. After a last-second Auburn three-pointer sent the game into overtime, the Tigers just couldn't keep up with UF's SEC-leading offense, falling 84-78 to the Gators (10-3,2-0 SEC). With 1.5 seconds remaining in the game and Tigers fans filing out, Auburn guard Toney Douglas caught a three-quartercourt inbounds pass, turned and hit a three-point shot before the buzzer, tying the score at'71 and pumping life back into a deflated home crowd. "I knew it was going in," Douglas said. "For real -I be practicing that shot." But the Gators' leading scorer, Anthony Roberson, had an answer. After missing one of two free throws with 1.9 seconds remaining to keep the UF lead at 3, Roberson opened the overtime period with three consecutive shots, two of which were threepointers, to put the Gators ahead 79-75. "It was just going back and forth," Roberson said. "[Douglas] would hit a three, and then I'd hit a three. I jusf prayed to God that I could make one more shot than he could." But Douglas, who finished with a team-high 32 points, made another three-pointer to cut the UF lead to 2 with 1:07 remaining. ."I don't know if I've ever seen a freshman in our league as good as him," Donovan said. "It's unbelievable the way he scores." On the Gators' ensuing possession, the Tigers trapped freshman NCAA Basketball forward UF 84 C o r e y Auburn 78 Brewer at midcourt, forcing a UF timeout. After play resumed, forward David Lee drew a foul and hit two free throws. Roberson followed with two more to put the game out of reach. Roberson finished with a gameand season-high 34 points while sinking 6 of 10 three-pointers. With some sharp shooting and defensive pressure, the Gators overcame a first half in which the small but quick Tigers outrebounded and outscored them in the paint for a 39-36 lead. Despite looming over all of Auburn's starters by at least three inches, Lee had a quiet first half, failing to score and grabbing just one rebound. Lee, however, assumed a doniinant role in second half, accumulating 10 points, eight SEE MEN'S, PAGE 18 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Gators host red-hot No. 3 LSU Tigers By MICHAEL MAURINO Alligator Writer mmaurino@alligator.org In the marathon that is a season, one game will not determine success. But one game can change a lot. Tonight, the UF women's basketball team hosts No. 3 Louisiana State at 6:30 in the O'Connell Center. The Tigers are the highestranked team to come into Gainesville since then-No. 2 Tennessee in 2002. UF (11-4, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) has only beaten three top-five teams in its history. If the Gators can pull off the upset, it will be arguably the biggest win in team history. "It's going to be an exciting time for our program and for our team to take on a tough challenger like LSU," Coach Carolyn Peck said. LSU (14-1, 1-0 SEC) had been the No. 1 team in the country until last week's overtime loss to Rutgers. That aside, the Tigers have three players. scoring in double figures, including junior, guard Seimone Augustus, who is ESPN's midseason MVP. Augustus bruised her elbow Saturday against Georgia but will play tonight. Peck said her team must focus on them"It's going to be an exciting time for our program and for our team to take on a tough challenger like LSU.

See story at alligator.org/sports Expect the unexpected with Peck Since starting at UF in the fall of 2000, I hadn't seen a year like 2004. The Gators were, collectively, a shank short of a double bogey. It wasn't a good year. In fact, any 17-year old Gators fan could challenge Frank Sinatra's song right now. B u t 2005, at least on the surface, has the makinsof a Gregg Girvan great year Throwing Girvballs in Gators ggirvan@alligator.org s p o r t s Betw e en the arrival of the Urban Meyer era and Billy Donovan's struggles in postseason play, it will certainly be a groundbreaking one. Which is why the charge for a better 2005 for UF will come from. .the women's basketball team? Yeah, it may seem like a stretch.But look here Gators fan: you haven't had much to cheer about these days. Beggars can't be choosers. Plus, baseball finishes in May, so they really wouldn't be "leading the charge." And while the RED-hot No. 3 Louisiana State Tigers stand a good chance of taking over the O'Connell Center (which could be a totally better playground than even the $3-million digs LSU boosters are building for their live mascot, Mike the Tiger), Coach Carolyn Peck's squad has made a habit of defying expectations. No Vanessa Hayden? No problem. UF has adopted a faster style that has caught its first two conference opponents off guard. Injuries to Danielle Santos and now Kim Dye? No problem. UP will use the other nine evenly and still wear opponents down.
