STUDENT GOVERNMENT


SG in name game


By BRIDGET CAREY
Alligator Writer
bcarey@alligator.org

Unexpected filings are causing
concern among past party lead-
ers as four familiar names have
been registered for the upcoming
Spring Student Government elec-
tion and the old bosses are not
the ones at the helms.
Paperwork has been submitted
to register the Student Alliance,
Ignite, Keg and Access parties,
but the students who filed the pa-
perwork are said to either have no
affiliation with the original parties
or no authorization from previous
party leaders before claiming
ownership. Except for the Access
Party, the other names have yet to
be approved.
Florida Blue Key member
Pedro "Peter" Allende registered
as the Ignite Party president.
Former Student Body President
and Ignite founder Nikki Fried
said Allende had no previous as-
sociation with the party.
Fried said she hopes Allende
doesn't spread the message he
is related to the previous Ignite
.Party because "that would be a
misrepresentation of the party
because he was not an elected


official."
Allende could not be rt~ched
for comment. Darren G.ldm.an.'
who applied for Ignite Party
treasurer, did not return calls or
an e-mail.

Court finds sentencing guidelines unconstitutional


Ruling's effect on Florida unknown


By MEGAN V. WINSLOW
Alligator Writer

Wednesday's Supreme Court decision
rendering current sentencing guidelines
within the federal court system unconstitu-
tional surprised law-makers and breakers
across the nation.
Criminal defense attorney Larry Turner,
who also is a former judge within the Eighth
Judicial Circuit that includes Alachua County,
said he believes the ruling is long overdue.
"In effect, the decisions stand for several
different propositions," Turner said. "One
proposition is that juries, not judges, deter-
mine guilt and innocence .... in imposing sen-
tences, a judge cannot increase a sentence by

making findings that the jury didn't make."
The ruling i a n h.nded d,:lwn in n\ o parts
by the divided court The -irst part found cur-
rent federal sentencing guidelines violate the
Sixth Amendment by al lo\. ing ludgets to im-
pose harsher sentences after a jury's verdict.
However, the second part allows for
judges to continue to use the guidelines as
an advisory tool instead of mandatory proce-
dure. An appeals court may overturn verdicts
made under the guidelines if they're found to
be unreasonable. Some 60,000 defendants per
year have been sentenced under the guide-
lines, according to the Associated Press.
The two-decade-old guidelines were set
by Congress in order to standardize sentenc-
ing for similar offenses.

But according to many defense attor-
neys, including federal and state criminal
defense attorney Rob Griscti, such mea-
sures proved counterproductive by failing
to allow judges to consider extenuating
circumstances. As a result, many inmates
of the federal prison system may have
received overly harsh pun-
ishments.
Fed al "The sentencing guide-
-~-** lines had become, from a
defense lawyer's stand-
point, often an unfair appli-
cation because they give the judge so little
discretion to make decisions when there
are circumstances that warrant litigation,"
Griscti said.

in the air. Judges must adhere to Florida's
guidelines, which determine minimum and
maximum sentences for criminal offenses.
However,.there could be problems if the
courts decide to adopt the federal guide-
lines, UF law professor Fletcher N. Baldwin
said.
"I would assume that [the Florida
Supreme Court] would have to follow this
case, and it's going to create a little bit of
havoc," Balciad nn said.
Turner said he suspects the minimum
sentencing "mandatories" could be done
away with in state court.
No matter what happens, however, it
is going to take some time for federal and
state courts to sort out the rulings and their
implications, he said.
"These are new decisions, major deci-
sions," Turner said.

Going Greek


One recruit's Rush story


By KYLIE CRAIG
Alligator Writer
kcraig@alligator.org

Matt Metz is a wanted man on
campus.
The UF freshman has spent
the past week being bombarded
with phone calls from people he
barely knows asking him to hang
out and party with them.
They've been begging for his
friendship, telling him what a
great guy they think he is, and
most importantly, offering him
amazing free food.
Metz, 19, became this popular
because he decided to participate
in the Interfraternity Council's
Rush Week.
As he toured the fraternity
houses during rush with the
Alligator in tow he learned
what each fraternity had to offer
before making his final decision
Thursday.

A.change of heart
Metz said he "was almost
staunchly against getting into a
fraternity," when he arrived at
UF in the Fall, which gives him
the ability to relate to the 86 per-
cent of UF students who aren't
active in Greek life.
He also possesses quite a
few notable characteristics. He's
good-looking and in-shape, out-
going, friendly and seems like
he would be able to pull in some
major chicks.
In Metz's first few days ex-
periencing rush, it became clear
there are two distinct methods
fraternities use to lure in the ner-
vous crowd of rushees.
There's the laid back hey-let's-
hang-out-and-be-buds approach,
and the come-look-at-our-crazy-
fight-nights-and-hot-chicks ap-
proach.
Some fraternities manage to


fit in the hot chicks without host-
ing big events, but the two seem-
ingly go hand-in-hand.
Metz started his week with an
open mind about which frater-
nity he might want to join.

A walk along 'Frat Row'
Each house on Fraternity Row,
and even those located "off-row,"
gave off a distinct vibe.
There was Lambda Chi Alpha,
which hosted a jousting event
Monday night and flaunted cute
girls who signed in rushees.
Farther down the road was a
more unstructured house, where
a tiki torch had been broken in
half and thrown into the bushes.
Brothers in the front lawn started
yelling "Eat it! Eat it!"
Then, there was a standout
presentation at Pi Kappa Alpha.
One attention-getter when en-
tering the house was the black
Hummer parked in front.
But the ride paled in com-
parison to the Hooters girls at the
front doors-
'Each house hosts lunch and
dinner every day during rush.
While most fraternities have
their food catered, Pi Kappa
Alpha was the only house Metz
checked out that had restaurant
employees mingling with frater-
nity hopefuls.

The 'final cut'
.Finally came the three fra-
ternity houses that drew Metz
in the most Sigma Alpha
Epsilon, Sigma Chi and Beta
Theta Pi.
While most of the fraterni-
ties offered the same basics:.an
introduction to a few members,
a tour of the house and a semi-
scripted speech on what the fra-
ternity has to offer, Metz said he
narrowed it down to these three
because of their laid-back ap-

Concert ticket


sales for Snoop


off to slow start

NEIL HUGHES
Alligator Writer
nhughes@alligator.org

Tickets for multiplatinum rap artist Snoop Dogg's Feb. 4 show
at the O'Connell Center are selling slower than some may have
expected.
As. of Thursday morning, approximately 2,200 tickets to
the show had been sold, with,approximately 1,500 sold to UF
students, said.Darius Dunn, associate director of the O'Connell
Center.
Comparatively, the initial run of almost 5,500 tickets for the
Dave Matthews Band sold out in only 92 minutes in September.
Jeff Yeatman, chairman of Student Government Productions,
said he was not concerned about the sales, and said he consid-
ered it unfair to compare the Dave Matthews concert to Snoop.
Dogg.
"Dave Matthews has a completely different kind of crowd,
and I feel like those ticket buyers buy their tickets immediately,"
Yeatman said. "There were also two other headlining acts at-
tached to it. That wasn't my expectation for this show for it to
sell out in two hours."
Yeatman added that while he does not expect the show to sell
out, he will not rule it out as a possibility.
The layout for the event has not been finalized, but the ca-
pacity will be somewhere between 8,000 and 10,000, Dunn said.
Tickets are $25 for the general public and $15 for UF students.
Snoop is touring in support of his new album "R&G (Rhythm
& Gangsta): The Masterpiece." The show is his first stop in
Gainesville since 2001, when he sold approunately 8,000 tickets
to a sell-out crowd at the O'Connell Center, Dunn said..
"We've sold more tickets than we sold for W, cilt T.i-an la]st
year," Yeatman said. "Tickets have only been on sale for five
days."
The concert is co-sponsored by SGP and the Black Student
Union as part of Black History Month celebrations.
Ticket sales may yet pick up, Yeatman said, thanks to advertis-
ing around the state.
"It will be advertised in Orlando and Jacksonville, both in
print and on radio," he said.
Regardless, Yeatman said students he has talked to are excited
about the upcoming concert.
"Reactions have all been positive," he said. "He's a huge
name to be coming to this town, so it should be a fun show."

County may get more hurricane aid


Several FEMA projects involve UF


By SKYLER SMITH
Alligator Writer


D-epite recent allegations of finan-
cial iiisappprpriatiion by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency,
necessary funds won't be withheld in
Alachua County, according to the local
Office of Emergency Management.
In fact, despite the recent reports of
mismanagement, Alachua County may
be getting more hurricane-relief fund-
ing soon.
The county has received hurricane--
related FEMA funds but will be apply-
ing for $3.5 million more, said David
Donnelly, assistant director at the emer-
gency management office.
Alachua County was hit by two hur-
ricanes, Frances and Jeanne, during the
2004 season.
Donnelly said that while the county
is not yet "at 100 percent," there are.


only a few damaged houses left from
the particularly tumultuous season.
"I think FEMA has done pretty well
by Alachua County," Donnelly said of
the millions in immediate relief money
that poured into the county last fall.
Donnelly heads the county mitiga-
tion strategy group, which applies for
and appropriates FEMA money to fund
projects within Alachua County.
There are several projects from UF
before the group, said Glenn Ketcham,
who works in the UF Division of
Environmental Health and Safety.
The most important project is rein-
forcing the windows in Bryant Hall,
where the UF computer mainframe is
housed, according to Ketcham.
Other projects the FEMA money
possibly could fund would be flood
protection for the buildings near Lake
Alice, making Southwest Recreation
Center a sturdier hurricane shelter
and moving broadcast power lines at


Weimer Hall underground.
Ketcham said a decision would be
made by March.
FEMA is suspected of misspending
millions, of dollars of hurricane-relief fi-
nancing, filing claims in areas virtually
unaffected by the storms.
"I think FEMA has done pretty
well by Alachua County."
David Donnelly
FEMA emergency office
assistant director

The allegations concerning fraudu-
lent FEMA requisitions for aid money
prompted U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla.,
to request an investigationby the Senate
Committee on Homeland Security and
Government Affairs.
FEMA is also under scrutiny from
the House Subcommittee on Economic
Development, Public Buildings and
Emergency Management, another
overseer of FEMA.


New findings pump life into causes of age, heart disease


* THE TEAM'S FINDINGS AFFECT
MILLIONS SUFFERING FROM HEART-
RELATED DISEASES.

By KATE STOREY
Alligator Contributing Writer

UF researchers have taken the first big step
in slowing aging of the heart.
The study found that in the heart muscle,
one of the two populations of mitochondria
deteriorates more quickly as humans age.
Christiaan Leeuwenburgh, director of the
Biochemistry of Aging Laboratory in UF's
College of Health and Human Performance,


has been studying aging for about 10 years
and headed up the research leading to these
findings, which were published in an online
journal Jan. 10.
"Heart disease and hart attacks are
caused in part by the aging of the heart,"
Leeuwenburgh said. "They are'both very
complex, but the mitochondrial breakdown
plays a huge part."
Each year, an estimated 17 million people
-die from heart disease, according to the World
Health Organization, and it is the lading
cause of death in the United States.
The mitochondria affected by aging are
found deep in the muscle fibers of the heart
and are important because they provide ener-


gy and help with heart contractions that keep
blood flowing and keep cells alive.
The mitochondrial breakdown is caused
by free radicals, which come from inflamma-
tion of the muscles in the body along with
other factors. In a young,
UF healthy heart, free radicals
Research are not a problem because
they are broken down. by
antioxidants.
As the heart ages, the body's natural anti-
oxidants are no match for the increasing free
radicals.
Leeuwenburgh compares these free
radicals to garbage floating around the heart,
,lowing the encie', procii ;


"If there is a lot of junk around, the heart
won't function as well to produce energy," he
said.
"But, just like the garbage man needs ener-
gy to take out the trash, the heart needs energy
to remove its junk."
Now that Leeuwenburgh has discovered
the cause of the heart's aging, the next step is
to work toward slowing, repairing and even-
tually stopping the damage.
Increasing antioxidants has not been found
to be helpful,.and research now is being done
on how to halt the increased production of free
radicals accompanying aging, how to remove
the damaged mitochondria, and how to in-
crease the number of healthy mitochondria.

Assault inquest ongoing


By EVA KIS
Alligator Staff Writer

An allegation of sexual assault made
against a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon
fraternity last September remains under
investigation.
Since the matter remains unresolved,
University Police Department spokesman
Lt. Joe Sharkey could not comment on its
progress.
"There's really not a whole lot until the
case is concluded on our part," Sharkey said.
The fraternity voluntarily placed itself un-
der social probation following the complaint,
filed by a female. minor against one of its
members, last Fall.
Sigma Phi Epsilon- President Chris
Bucciarelli said the self-imposed probation
remains in effect.
"The reason why we put ourselves on
suspension is that we wanted to make sure
we were as compliant as possible with every-
one in the situation to find out what really
happened," Bucciarelli said.
The fraternity also took action against its
accused member.
"He has been suspended indefinitely, and
he is no longer here," Bucciarelli said.
Specifics of the fraternity's probation are a
university matter, Sharkey said.
"As far as sanctions go against the frater-
nity itself, that's a university issue," Sharkey
said.


Cyrus Williams, UF's director of student
judicial affairs, could not be reached for com-
ment on the matter.
According to reports, the victim arrived at
the Sigma Phi Epsilon house around 9 p.m.
for a Homecoming party with the accused
fraternity member as her date. He had mixed
drinks for them, including Smirnoff rasp-
berry vodka, prior to their arrival.
The victim, 17 years old at the time, said
she did not watch her date make the drinks
and tool additiin.l shots
in the house.
The victim woke up
naked in bed next to her
date, who told her they
had kissed but nothing
more, reports state.
Drug suspicions arose
Wiliams when the victim, who re-
ports to be a light sleeper. slept through four
phone calls after she went to bed that night.
After waking up in pain and undergoing
an e,.aimination at Shands at AGH, injuries
consistent with sexual, assault were noted,
according to reports.
The victim filed the complaint on Sept.
27 but asked that the investigation be halted
a few days later. However, less than two
weeks afterward, the-investigation was re-
opened, again at the victim's request, though
no -charges were filed against the accused
member.


Exercise may aid patients


By ALICIA PEREZ -
Alligator Contributing Writer

A new UF study shows people who
suffer from the degenerative disease
.multiple sclerosis can reduce their level
of fatigue through strength training.
"This is the first published report
using a conventional weight-training
program for patients with multiple scle-
rosis," said Lesley-White, a professor
in UF's department of applied physiol-
ogy and kinesiology. "We designed an
exercise program to develop muscle
strength because multiple sclerosis
causes muscle weakness and fatigue,
which contributes to a declining cycle
of fitness, loss of mobility and decreased
quality of life."
The study provides preliminary data
for controlling deterioration of muscles
and their function among MS patients,
White said.
The study, which included up to 30
minutes of supervised weight training
twice weekly for eight weeks, concen-
trating on the legs, abdomen and lower
back, increased participants' strength,
thereby decreasing- their exhaustion.
Fatigue is the most common symptom
of MS.
Although there is no known cure.for


MS, this study gives people suffering
from the muscle-deteriorating disease a
chance to gain control of their illness.
Stella Sarkees, a participant in
White's pilot study, was diagnosed with
MS at age 25, when an attack left her
temporarily paralyzed.
"I was very scared immobilized
and depressed. It was a depression that
you cannot imagine," she said in a-press
release.
After eight weeks in the. program,
Sarkees noticed an improvement in her
walking and was able to stop taking
medication for muscle
UP spasms.
q~R 1A.3r Although improv-
Sing muscle strength
is its main benefit, Sarkees said weight
training gives MS patients another
less obvious but equally important
advantage the feeling of being more
powerful.
Feeling empowered keeps the focus
on something other than the depression,
the illness and the situation, Sarkees
said in a press release.
"Strength training helps multiple
sclerosis patients to maintain muscle
function," White said. "It helps them re-
main active and minimize deterioration
in muscle mass."

Editorial
Here at the Department of Darts & Laurels, we believe ev-
erything happens for a reason.
It doesn't strike us as coincidence when a flier for the morn-
ing-after pill appears in the Alligator as soon as a debate erupts
about it on our pages.
Obviously, that was a sign we haven't spent enough time
stirring up trouble.
We just smile and nod our heads when an elderly
Presbyterian minister's .last words were, "And when I go to
heaven ..." as he died mid-sentence in'a sermon this week in
Oviedo.
You know you've been living right when you get to pass
away on an ellipsis.
We even aren't surprised when Gainesville's Blockbuster
stores -decide not to honor the corporation's new no-late-fees
policy
This tells us that sometimes we have to learn when to put
down the remote and actually get some work done.
But then we remember we're Gators and go buy the DVD.
So while we sit down for a marathon of "Fight Club" and
"Friends" in remembrance of Brad and Jen, tune into this
week's edition of...

Child was given to his rightful parents
Editor: What a happy new year it must be
for Evan and his natural mother and father.
Amanda Hopkins and Stephen White Jr. have
fought long and hard for their son, and it is a
relief to see Evan returning home. Dawn and
Gene Scott may have raised him for three
years, but they did so knowing Evan was
much loved and wanted by his parents. Had
they truly cared about his best interests, they
would not have sought custody once Evan's
family came forward.
I am certain that Evan, like Anna Schmidt
(known to the media as "Baby Jessica"), will
be just fine once this whole mess is resolved.
Though our adoption-happy culture may be
loathe to admit it, they are very fortunate to
have escaped the damage adoption so fre-

Democratic Party merely reorganizing
Editor: In her column Thursday, Allison
Cullin basked in the Republican victories of the
past three years while arrogantly advising the
Democratic Party of its need for strong leader-


ship and a clear message. Cullin has forgotten
U.S. history is a cycle of changing majorities
and that, until two years ago, the Democrats
enjoyed a 40-year majority in Congress. The
Republican Party underwent extensive reor-
ganization after the Nixon debacle. Nowit is
the Democrats' turn to reorganize.
In what direction should the party head?
Cullin warns against the liberalization of
the Democratic Party. I remind her that in
the 2004 presidential election, 48 percent of
this country's electorate voted for a liberal
Massachusetts senator. I would proffer that the
Democrats lost the 2004 election not because,
"the culture of America has changed, but the
party has failed to change with it," as Cullin
Asserts, but rather because the Republicans did
a much better job on the strategy front. They


mobilized their supporters better than the
Democrats, and the Democrats failed to high-
light the failures of the Bush administration.
As. the Republican Party moves further to
the right, I encourage the Democratic Party
to preserve its values. Rather than become
Republican-lite, I encourage them to be the
voice of those who do not support ill-planned
wars fought under false pretenses, of those
who believe in equal treatment under the law
regardless of sexual preference, of those who
support evidence-based science and environ-
mental policy, and of those who support a
return to fiscal responsibility. Democrats do
not need to change their message; they need
to better express it.

VP resigns SFCC


* NANCEE BAILEY GOES
AFTER JUST SIX MONTHS.

By SKYLER SMITH
Alligator Writer
The tenure of Santa Fe
Community College's newest
vice president did not last long.
Nancee Bailey, who joined the
college in July as vice president
for Academic Affairs, abruptly
resigned Sunday.
Neither her resignation letter
nor SFCC spokesman Larry Keen
cited a reason for her sudden de-
parture.
Bailey was hired from
Daytona Beach Community
College in July to head the larg-
est of SFCC's six divisions. As
head of Academic Affairs, Bailey
controlled roughly 80 percent of
the budget, Keen said.
Last Fall, she proposed a
reorganization of personnel and
departments that met with dis-
approval from some faculty.
At a November meeting of
the College Senate, the group
that represents SFCC faculty,
several members contested the
college-wide overhaul because


members said they were not con-
sulted about the changes and the
implementation was too broad.
The decision was made to
delay discussions until January
so the entire college community
could have input in the restruc-
turing.
The update on her progress
should have been made public at
the College Senate meeting held
Tuesday, but with her departure
the plan was scrapped.
"I don't think anyone takes
any delight in someone com-
ing in and then leaving in six
months," Keen said, when asked
about the college community's
reaction.
He said her unpopular plan
to reorganize SFCC was not the
reason for her departure.
"When somebody cuts their
ties so quickly, that's their deci-
sion," Keen said.
.Bailey will be continuing to
work at SFCC as a consultant
in the workforce development
division until June 30, said Keen,
although she has moved out of
her on-campus office.
Her replacement will likely
be-announced next Spring, Keen
said.

TALLAHASSEE

Faculty want chiropractic adjustment


By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM
Alligator Staff Writer
jvanl@alligator.org

TALLAHASSEE The FSU Board of
Trustees will decide today whether to endorse
the construction of a proposed chiropractic
school, one day after FSU faculty spoke out
about their concerns with the plan.
At a faculty meeting Thursday, FSU pro-
vost Larry Abele said there were benefits and
drawbacks to the proposed program.
Chief among his concerns was that FSU's
academic reputation and that of its science
degrees could be damaged if the school
awards degrees in chiropractics due to public
perception that it is illegitimate science.
Abele said that if the program were
implemented, it would have to distance itself
from the kind of "vaguely defined practices
in chiropractic about a vague power source
somewhere," the idea that readjusting the


spine can cure all diseases by channeling the
body's life force properly.
Mocking the proposal, FSU faculty mem-
bers circulated a map comparing chiroprac-
tics to astrology and UFO abduction studies.
On the other hand, Abele said, a recent
British study found spinal manipulation,
a chiropractic method, was often cheaper
and more helpful to patients than standard
medical treatments. In taking the lead in
science-based chiropractic education, FSU
could blaze a trail in identifying the scientific
benefits of chiropractic therapy, Abele said.
That trail would be carved through
uncharted territory. Since 1910, no public
research university in North America has
offered chiropractics as a scientific program,
and that is enough for those who have
mounted opposition to the proposed school.
On Jan. 4, the board of the Capital Medical
Society, which represents more than 500
Tallahassee-area doctors, voted unanimously

to oppose the school.
On Dec. 29, the St. Petersburg Times re-
ported that at least seven professors at the
FSU medical school threatened to resign if
the chiropractic school were approved.
And on Wednesday, Florida Senate
President Tom Lee (R-Brandon) said he was
concerned that politicians inappropriately
were trying to influence the FSU Board of
Trustees and the state Board of Governors
into approving the chiropractic school plan.
Lee proposed to ban lobbyists from serv-
ing on such boards in the future and said he
would like to de-politicize the boards, which
he said have been packed with political pa-
trons of powerful politicians.
Such a measure would prevent John
Thrasher, a former Florida House speaker
and a current lobbyist, from being re-con-
firmed in his position as chairman of the FSU
Board of Trustees when his term expires.
That board is widely expected to endorse
the proposed school today over its own fac-
ulty's objections, in part because of political
pressure from allies of former House Speaker
Johnnie Byrd and former Senate President
Jim King (R Jacksonville).
Those leaders rushed through a bill in the
last minutes of the 2004 legislative session
to funnel $9 million in annual funding from
state liquor taxes to the school forever, and
without further legislative oversight.
The legislation was spearheaded by Sen.
Dennis Jones (R-Treasure Island), a King ally
who is himself a practicing chiropractor. King
told the St. Petersburg Times Jan. 3 that if FSU
refused to build the school, "the Legislature
would be angry."
The university might have to cut funding
in its other departments to return the $9 mil-
lion the Legislature originally allocated for
the chiropractic school, King said.
As for UF's take on the FSU chiroprac-
tic plan, Tom Fortner, spokesman for UF's
Health Science Center, said the interest of
UF's medical community is that there be a
well organized and thoughtful process to
determine if this or any other new program
is truly needed.
"We think all of Florida's public higher
education would benefit from that," he said.


Suicide


spurs jail


changes

By ELIZABETH PRANN
Alligator Writer

The Alachua County Jail had not
had a suicide since August 1999 un-
til Wednesday, when a 42-year-old
robbery suspect took his own life.
SUnfortunately, this was not the
first time recently an inmate has
made an attempt.
Since July, the mental-health
area of the jail has had four suicide
attempts when inmates tried to
utilize a 10-foot tier
Public drop to take their own
Safety lives, Alachua County
Sheriff's Office spokes-
man Jim Troiano said.
"We were able to thwart them all
... while they were in the process of
happening," Troiano said.
Detention staff aims to -avoid
this type of situation by putting
each inmate through an extensive
screening process that begins with
the arresting officer and ends with
a professional medical clinician,
Troiano said.
Prior to this string of suicide
attempts, Alachua County Sheriff
Steve Oelrich requested in April a
$26,000 barrier be installed in the
mental-health area to block inmates
from utilizing the tier drop to hurt
themselves, Troiano said.
He confirmed the Alachua
County Commission has agreed to
allot funds to. purchase the barrier.
Detention staff members are await-
ing its arrival.

Party names borrowed from past


PARTIES, from page 1


he was unaware and "surprised" students
Jessica Goodwin and Vanessa Goodwin
have applied to re-register the Student
Alliance Party.
"I want to know what's happening;"
Offerither, an Alligator entertainment
writer, said.
Neither Goodwin returned phone calls
or e-mails as of press time.
Offenther said it was unlikely he would
have re-registered the party name for the
Spring election, but nevertheless he said
it would have been nice to know about it
as a former party leader. He said Jessica
Goodwin was previouI-lv involved with
the Student Alliance Party, but declined
to comment further, noting he wanted to
contact his former colleagues.
Former Keg Party presidential nominee
Travis Marsh said he doesn't know either
Lauren Mauer or Richard "Ricky" Yan,
who filled out the paperwork to continue
his party's legacy. But when he used the
Keg Party name for his campaign, he said
he knew the original creators of the name


and got their permission.
Mauer and Yan did not return repeated
phone calls and e-mails as of press time.
"I made sure I got everyone's approv-
al," Marsh said. "I think that's a good way
to go about things."
Marsh said he thinks the name was
registered just so no one else could use the
Keg Party name.
"I made sure I got everyone's ap-
proval. I think that's a good way to
go about things."
Travis Marsh
former Keg Party presidential nominee

Sen. Mackenzie Moritz has registered
as president of the Progress Party. He said
he didn't call the previous party leader for
approval to use the name, but said that
since the name hasn't been 'used since
1999, students wouldn't be misled about
its leadership.
Fried said whatever the future holds, she
hopes students will "be able to decipher
between student parties that are concerned
about them as opposed to student parties
that are concerned about themselves."


OFF THE AVENUE


Flickerstick frontman shares TV, road experiences


Ili'ckerstick, participants of
r VH1's "Bands on the Run" in
S2001, wouldn't go back and do
it again. "We're glad it's over," says
vocalist Brandin Lea. "I'm not a fan
of reality TV." Though Flickerstick
spent much of their stint on the
show drunk, Lea says there were
plenty of wild things that happened
that did not end up on television.
"They couldn't show a lot of stuff
for obvious reasons," he says. "I
wouldn't even know where to be-
gin. I don't remember a lot of it, to


tell ou the truth." Since re-releasing
"Welcoming Home the Astronauts"
on Epic Records in November 2001
and selling 100,000 copies, the band
has been busy. Flickerstick left Epic
soon after in search of a better op-
portunity for their musical talent..
"When you're with a major label,
there's always ups and downs," Lea
says. "At that time we were touring
so much, we didn't really notice we
were on a major label half the time
"It was fine for the time we ,\ ere
on," he adds. "I'm not surprised


we broke off from them when we
did." Their new darker sounding
disc, "Tarantula," was released
Oct. 5. "'Astronauts' was written
when I was very young," Lea says.
"'Tarantula' is a different sound be-
cause it's many years later and after
many years on the road."
Saturday brings the band to
Gainesville with openers Time and
Gadwell Lane. Though Flickerstick
has toured six times in Florida,
Gainesville has never been a tour
stop. Two years ago, Flickerstick


was sched-
uled to
Come, but
forced to
cancel due
to a mu-
Jacqueline sic video
Davison shoot in
Playlist California.
"We didn't
jdavison@alligator.org want to
c.an c e ,"
Lea says. "They just sort of made
us." In the next year, the band


plans to continue touring with
"Tarantula," Lea says. "We won't be
gone like we used to be. We're not
going to be on the road nine months
of the year like before." For the
record, Flickerstick's band symbol
is not a tampon, but the scientific
symbol for a gamma ray. "The kid
that did our artwork for 'Astronaut'
thought it would be cool," Lea says.
""I don't know where he found it or
what it pertains to, but I guess he
thought it pertained to the artwork,
and it was cool."

ing scorer. "Most definitely, I have to
learn to be stronger with the ball and
adjust to things I see on the court
that I should be more aware of."
As Williams struggled, so did


junior Bernice Mosby, the. team's
leading scorer.
Mosby don inated the glass, re-
cording 15 rebounds, but made just
2 of 11 shots. Finishing with 4 points,
Mosby struggled with LSU'- ai gri -
sive defense.
"I think that LSU had to con-


'centrate on Bernice," Peck said.
"I think it was very hard for her
to get in the flow of the offeins.c
with how LSU was defending us-
and how we were moving/the
basketball."
The Gators scored the first
5 points of the night, but that


would be their only lead.
Both teams were off their game
to start, as LSU shot 37 percent to
UF's 28 percent in the first half.
The Gators recorded 16 first-half
turnovers.
Peck said UF was not yet
into its offensive game plan,


and down 25-18 at the half, she
had high hopes for the final 20
minutes.
"I thought that we'd correct
the turnovers we had in the first
half," Peck said. "There were just
times where we didn't make good
decisions with the basketball."

added pressure."
Donovan said he's quite familiar
with homecoming experiences. As a
collegiate player at Providence, the
Rockville Centre, N.Y., native felt the
pressure against St. John's.
And as a coach, Donovan has had
to deal with Saginaw, Mich., native
Anthony Roberson, who grew up
54 miles from East Lansing, facing
Michigan State in the 2003 NCAA
Tournament.
Donovan hopes he .can help
Brewer focus against a veteran
Vanderbilt team that w'as picked to


finish la.t in the SEC East.
The departure of forward Matt
Freije seemingly -created a tre-
mendous talent vacuum for the
Commodores.
Vanderbilt, however, has had
little difficulty replacing Freije's SEC-
leading lb 4 pouit- per gaune.
His absence may actually benefit

Commodores (11-5) to a 2-0 confer-
ence start before losing by,15 to No. 9

Despite that recent loss.. Donovan
said he considers the Commodores
one of the most dangerous teams in
the nation.
"I know Kentucky beat them,
and playing in Rupp [Arenal, there's
obviou-usl\ a tremendous advantage

SHAF, from page 24

Welcome to The Anthony Roberson Show.
And if you think he is worried about it, think again.
"Nobody believes in themselves more than me,"
Roberson said after the game.
With Roberson as the catalyst, UF has a chance to open
up SEC play at 5-0 before the big boys come calling -
South Carolina, lMississippi State, Alabama and Kentucky.
Wednesday night proved him to be capable. The next
three games will determine if it was a fluke. And the
stretch that follUo\-s \ ill put him to the ultimate test.
For someone with Roberson's mindset, 16 points
doesn't seem like all that much.

FOOTBALL

Incoming coaches primed to take control of team


By ANDREW ABRAMSON
Alligator Staff Writer -
aabramson@alligator.org

The days of yearning for for-
mer football coach Ron Zook may
officially be over for several UF
receivers.
All it took was a glance at the
Fiesta Bowl.
"I talked to a couple of them
afterward and they were excited,"
said ~LF's new receivers coach,
Billy Gonzales, who helped Urban
Meyer lead Utah to a Fiesta Bowl
win.
"One of the young men [at
Utah] set a Fiesta Bowl record with
15 catches in one game ... We're go-
-ing to ask them to work, and we're
going to try to outwork every other
team in the country, and that's what
we're going to put our stake in."


UF's new offensive look was just
one of many issues that Meyer's
new staff discussed at length
Thursday as .the media got their
first opportunity to mingle with the
incoming crew.
With Meyer off on the recruiting
.trail in hopes of locking up some
of the nation's top talent, his staff
members currently in Gainesville
laid out their various philosophies,
which included a return to disci-
pline and an untraditional offense.
"I believe this is going to be a
very aggressive program, a very
disciplined program., But we
want to have fun," co-defensive
coordinator Greg Mattison said.
"Whenever you talk about a pro-
gram being disciplined, sometimes
you get a stereotype of a real strict
regime. These kids will have fun."
SAfter several publicized off-the-


field incidents during the Zook era,
it appears the new staff will place a
huge emphasis on discipline.
On Thiursda\. Gonzales went
to the apartment of receivers Chad
Jackson and Andre Caldwell to in-
Sspect their living
conditions.
"I stopped
by to make sure
I knew how
they're liv-
ing, make sure
they're living
Gonzales the right way,"
Gonzales -said.
He may not have gotten a true
evaluation.
"The, lkne I was coming by, so
the apartment was pretty spic-and-
span clean," he said.
Jackson and Caldwell will be
spending plenty of time outside


their apartment with Gonzales and
Meyer as the coaches install their
offense, one of the most potent in
the nation last season at Utah.
Gonzales said most of the re-
ceivers watched his Utes dismantle
Pittsburgh in the Fiesta Bowl, 35-7.
"Our wide receivers ran the ball
last year," Gonzales said. "We're
going to bring them back in motion.
We're going to bring them back to
getting pitched, face and use them
in different ways."
Gonzales praised quarterback
Chris Leak.
Despite leading the Southeastern
Conference in passing yards and
touchdowns, it took just five sacks
in a Peach Bowl loss to Miami for
a small faction of UF fans to call for
Meyer to open up the position.
Gonzales, however, did not
seem interested in that idea.


"I think he's exceptional. I think
he's fantastic," he said of Leak.
"Everybody gets excited [about]
what he can do in our offensive sys-
tem. You're dam right he's exciting.
"He's a good athlete, a good
quarterback, and hopefully we can
tap everything he has and hopefully
he'll bring the level up amongst the
rest of the players on the team as a

Two of the three most important
competitions this season will come on
the road for the UF gymnastics team:
the Southeastern Conference champi-
onships in Duluth, Ga., and the NCAA
championships in Auburn, Ala.
Tonight, the No. 12 Gators get their
first taste of life on the road as they head
to Baton Rouge, La., to take on No. 20
Louisiana State, the sixth top-25 team
UF will face this season.
The opponent, however, is of
little consequence, to UF coach Rhonda
Faehn.
S"LSU for us, in our minds, is our first'
road competition of the season," she
said. "So we're focusing on fixing the
routines and the errors we made last
week and learning from it."
Despite their coach's feelings, the
Gators will get a look at the last remain-
ing team that defeated them at the SEC
championships in 2004, having faced
Georgia and Alabama last weekend.
UF captured a dual meet against
the Tigers by nearly two points. early
last season, but LSU later overtook the
Gators by .05 points to take tlird at the
conference championships;. : -.
Despite the strong showing at last
week's Super Six Challenge, Faehn has
elected to shuffle the lineup this week.
SThe most notable difference is the ab-
sence of Orley Szmuch in several events.

For the second consecutive year,
the team was ranked third in the pre-

freshman Tiffany Murry will compete

Murry will be joined by Breanne

If Szmuch sits out vault, then Tracey
Rai will compete in her place in addition

This week could

One performer who will not be

Dooley, who is still recovering from a
stress fracture in her left foot.
"This week Dooley is still just going
to be doing beam," Faehn said. "We
won't look to be putting her into any

Aside from Holmia, in singles

, VOLUME 98 ISSUE 79 the independent florida Not officially associated with the Universi tyofFloda Published by Campus Com unications, Inc. of Gainesville, Florida We Inform. You Decide. FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 2005 STUDENT GOVERNMENT SG in name gam e By BRIDGET CAREY Alligator Writer bcarey@alligator.org Unexpected filings are causing concern among past party leaders as four familiar names have been registered for the upcoming Spring Student Government election -and the old bosses are not the ones at the helms. Paperwork has been submitted to register the Student Alliance, Ignite, Keg and Access parties, but the students who filed the paperwork are said to either have no affiliation with the original parties or no authorization from previous party leaders before claiming ownership. Except for the Access Party, the other names have yet to be approved. Florida Blue Key member Pedro "Peter" Allende registered as the Ignite Party president. Former Student Body President and Ignite founder Nikki Fried said Allende had no previous association with the party. Fried said she hopes Allende doesn't spread the message he is related to the previous Ignite Party because "that would be a misrepresentation of the party because he was not an elected official." Allende could not be eached for comment. Darren Goldman, who applied for Ignite Party treasurer, did not return calls or an e-mail. Allende was producer of 2003's Gator Growl, and he served as a replacement student senator for a partial term. "We recycle parties like we recycle aluminum cans," Fried said. SG party names often are borrowed from previous successful SG administrations. But "namestealing" is something she has never seen before, she said, referencing the recent actions of FBK member Michael Shine, who signed up as the Access Party without having an association with the current Access administration. "I would hate for the party ideals to be muddled in this election," Fried said. Former Student Alliance Party President Brian Offenther said SEE PARTIES, PAGE 1:1 Court finds sentencing guidelines unconstitutional Ruling's effect on Florida unknown By MEGAN V. WINSLOW Alligator Writer Wednesday's Supreme Court decision rendering current sentencing guidelines within the federal court system unconstitutional surprised law-makers and breakers across the nation. Criminal defense attorney Larry Turner, who also is a former judge within the Eighth Judicial Circuit that includes Alachua County, said he believes the ruling is long overdue. "In effect, the decisions stand for several different propositions," Turner said. "One proposition is that juries, not judges, determine guilt and innocence .in imposing sentences, a judge cannot increase a sentence by making findings that the jury didn't make." The ruling was handed down in two parts by the divided court. The first part found current federal sentencing guidelines violate the Sixth Amendment by allowing judges to impose harsher sentences after a jury's verdict. However, the second part allows for judges to continue to use the guidelines as an advisory tool instead of mandatory procedure. An appeals court may overturn verdicts made under the guidelines if they're found to be unreasonable. Some 60,000 defendants per year have been sentenced under the guidelines, according to the Associated Press. The two-decade-old guidelines were set by Congress in order to standardize sentencing for similar offenses. But according to many defense attorneys, including federal and state criminal defense attorney Rob Griscti, such measures proved counterproductive by failing to allow judges to consider extenuating circumstances. As a result, many inmates of the federal prison system may have received overly harsh punFed al "The sentencing guideMP S lines had become, from a defense lawyer's standpoint, often an unfair application because they give the judge so little discretion to make decisions when there are circumstances that warrant litigation," Griscti said. The question of whether or not the Supreme Court's decision could have any effect on Florida's court system is still up in the air. Judges must adhere to Florida's guidelines, which determine minimum and maximum sentences for criminal offenses. However, there could be problems if the courts decide to adopt the federal guidelines, UF law professor Fletcher N. Baldwin said. "I would assume that [the Florida Supreme Court] would have to follow this case, and it's going to create a little bit of havoc," Baldwin said. Turner said he suspects the minimum sentencing "mandatories" could be done away with in state court. No matter what happens, however, it is going to take some time for federal and state courts to sort out the rulings and their implications, he said. "These are new decisions, major decisions," Turner said. UF guard Sarah Lowe drives past LSU's Quianna Chaneyn during the second half of a 64-47 LSU win.

A B FAE H Z 0 1 K AM N E O P YX' A rBFA E H Z IKAM N EO H P ETYX '4 Going Greek One recruit's Rush story By KYLIE CRAIG Alligator Writer kcraig@alligator.org Matt Metz is a wanted man on campus. The UF freshman has spent the past week being bombarded with phone calls from people he Z barely knows asking him to hang out and party with them. They've been begging for his friendship, telling him what a great guy they think he is, and most importantly, offering him amazing free food. I Metz, 19, became this popular because he decided to participate in the Interfraternity Council's N Rush Week. As he toured the fraternity houses during rush -with the Alligator in tow -he learned what each fraternity had to offer before making his final decision Thursday. A.change of heart Metz said he "was almost staunchly against getting into a fraternity," when he arrived at UP in the Pall, which gives him the ability to relate to the 86 percent of UF students who aren't active in Greek life. He also possesses quite a few notable characteristics. He's good-looking and in-shape, outgoing, friendly and seems like he would be able to pull in some major chicks. In Metz's first few days exp eriencing rush, it became clear there are two distinct methods fraternities use to lure in the nervous crowd of rushees. There's the laid back hey-let's2 hang-out-and-be-buds approach, and the come-look-at-our-crazyfight-nights-and-hot-chicks approach. Some fraternities manage to N fit in the hot chicks without hosting big events, but the two seemingly go hand-in-hand. Metz started his week with an open mind about which fraternity he might want to join. A walk along 'Frat Row' Each house on Fraternity Row, and even those located "off-row," gave off a distinct vibe. There was Lambda Chi Alpha, which hosted a jousting event Monday night and flaunted cute girls who signed in rushees. Farther down the road was a more uistructured house, where a tiki torch had been broken in half and thrown into the bushes. Brothers in the front lawn started yelling "Eat it! Eat it!" Then, there was a standout presentation at Pi Kappa Alpha. One attention-getter when entering the house was the black Hummer parked in front. But the ride paled in comparison to the Hooters girls at the front doors. Each house hosts lunch and dinner every day during rush. While most fraternit ies have their food catered, Pi Kappa Alpha was the only house Metz checked out that had restaurant employees mingling with fraternity hopefuls. The 'final cut' Finally came the three fraternity houses that drew Metz in the most -Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Chi and Beta Theta Pi. While most of the fraternities offered the same basics: an introduction to a few members, a tour of the house and a semiscripted speech on what the fraternity has to offer, Metz said he narrowed it down to these three because of their laid-back aproach to the rush process. program." pu None of the three held big Walther told Metz he thinks events. hazing during the pledge profor Instead, they had a large, cess causes a split in the fraterwh open room where the rushees nity, shattering their brotherIt's and the fraternity members hood. gu could eat, talk and get to know "It's like this guy that was each other, without a cover an a-hole to you all semester fra band playing Van Morrison's is supposed to be your brother," to "Brown-Eyed Girl" or a guy beWalther said.

4, ALLIGATOR FRIDAY, JANUARY 14,2005 ON CAMPUS Concert ticket sales for Snoop off to slow start NEIL HUGHES Alligator Writer nhughes@aligator.org Tickets for multiplatinun rap artist Snoop Dogg's Feb. 4 show at the O'Connell Center are selling slower than some may have expected. As of Thursday morning, approximately 2,200 tickets to the show had been sold, with,approximately 1,500 sold to UF students, said Darius Dunn, associate director of the O'Connell Center. Comparatively, the initial run of almost 5,500 tickets for the Dave Matthews Band sold out in only 92 minutes in September. Jeff Yeatman, chairman of Student Government Productions, said he was not concerned about the sales, and said he considered it unfair to compare the Dave Matthews concert to Snoop. Dogg. "Dave Matthews has a completely different kind of crowd, and I feel like those ticket buyers buy their tickets immediately," Yeatman said. "There were also two other headlining acts attached to it. That wasn't my expectation for this show -for it to sell out in two hours." Yeatman added that while he does not expect the show to sell out, he will not rule it out as a possibility. The layout for the event has not been finalized, but the capacity will be somewhere between 8,000 and 10,000, Dunn said. Tickets are $25 for the general public and $15 for UF students. Snoop is touring in support of his new album "R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece." The show is his first stop in Gainesville since 2001, when he sold approximately 8,000 tickets to a sell-out crowd at the O'Connell Center, Dunr said. "We've sold more tickets than we sold for Wyclef Jean last year, Yeatman said. "Tickets have only been on sale for five days." The concert is co-sponsored by SGP and the Black Student Union as part of Black History Month celebrations. Ticket sales may yet pick up, Yeatman said, thanks to advertising around the state. "It will be advertised in Orlando and Jacksonville, both in print and on radio," he said. Regardless, Yeatman said students he has talked to are excited about the upcoming concert. "Reactions have all been positive," he said. "He's a huge name to be coming to tis town, so it should be a fun show." Snoop Dogg concert Where: Stephen C.

In fact, despite the recent reports of mismanagement, Alachua County may be getting more hurricane-relief funding soon. The county has received hurricane-related FEMA funds but will be applying for $3.5 million more, said David Donelly, assistant director at the emergency management office. Alachua County was hit by two hurricanes, Frances and Jearme, during the 2004 season. Donnelly said that while the county is not yet "at 100 percent," there are. only a few damaged houses left from the particularly tumultuous season. "I think FEMA has done pretty well by Alachua County," Donnelly said of the millions in immediate relief money that poured into the county last fall. Donnelly heads the county mitigation strategy group, which applies for and appropriates FEMA money to fund projects within Alachua Coumty. There are several projects from UF before the group, said Glenn Ketdam, who works in the UF Division of Environmental Health and Safety. The most important project is reinforcing the windows in Bryant Hall, where the UF computer mainframe is housed, according to Ketcham. Other projects the FEMA money possibly could furd would be flood protection for the buildings near Lake Alice, making Southwest Recreation Center a sturdier hurricane shelter and moving broadcast power lines at Weimer Hall underground. Ketcham said a decision would be made by March. FEMA is suspected of misspending millions, of dollars of hurricane-relief financing, filing claims in areas virtually unaffected by the storms. I think FEMA has done pretty well by Alachua County." David Donnelly FEMA emergency office assistant director The allegations concerning fraudulent FEMA requisitions for aid money prompted U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., to request an investigation by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs. FEMA is also under scrutiny from the House Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management, another overseer of FEMA. New findings pump life into causes of age, heart disease E THE TEAM'S FINDINGS AFFECT MILLIONS SUFFERING FROM HEARTRELATED DISEASES. By KATE STOREY Alligator Contributing Writer UF researchers have taken the first big step in slowing aging of the heart. The study found that in the heart muscle, one of the two populations of mitochondria deteriorates more quickly as humans age. Christiaan Leeuwenburgh, director of the Biochemistry of Aging Laboratory in UF's College of Health and Human Performance, has been studying aging for about 10 years and headed up the research leading to these findings, which were published in an online journal Jan. 10. "Heart disease and heart attacks are caused in part by the aging of the heart," Leeuwenburgh said. "They are both very complex, but the mitochondrial breakdown plays a huge part." Each year, an estimated 17 million people die from heart disease, according to the World Health Organization, and it is the leading cause of death in the United States. The mitochondria affected by aging are found deep in the muscle fibers of. the heart and are important because they provide energy and help with heart contractions that keep blood flowing and keep cells alive. The mitochondrial breakdown is caused by free radicals, which come from inflammation of the muscles in the body along with other factors. In a young, UF healthy heart, free radicals Research are not a problem because they are broken down by antioxidants. As the heart ages, the body's natural antioxidants are no match for the increasing free radicals. Leeuwenburgh compares these free radicals to garbage floating around the heart, slowing the energy process. "If there is a lot of junk around, the heart -won't function as well to produce energy," he said. "But, just like the garbage man needs energy to take out the trash, the heart needs energy to remove its junk." Now that Leeuwenburgh has discovered the cause of the heart's aging, the next step is to work toward slowing, repairing and eventually stopping the damage. Increasing antioxidants has not been found to be helpful, and research now is being done on how to halt the increased production of free radicals accompanying aging, how to remove the damaged mitochondria, and how to increase the number of healthy mitochondria.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 5 GREEK LIFE Assault inquest ongoing By EVA KIS Alligator Staff Writer An allegation of sexual assault made against a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity last September remains under investigation. Since the matter remains unresolved, University Police Department spokesman Lt. Joe Sharkey could not comment on its progress. "There's really not a whole lot until the case is concluded on our part," Sharkey said. The fraternity voluntarily placed itself under social probation following the complaint, filed by a female minor against one of its members last Fall. Sigma Phi Epsilon, President Chris Bucciarelli said the self-imposed probation remains in effect. "The reason why we put ourselves on suspension is that we wanted to make sure we were as compliant as possible with everyone in the situation to find out what really happened," Bucciarelli said. .. The fraternity also took action against its accused member. "He has been suspended indefinitely, and he is no longer here," Bucciarelli said. Specifics of the fraternity's probation are a university matter, Sharkey said. "As far as sanctions go against the fraternity itself, that's a university issue," Sharkey said. Cyrus Williams, UF's director of student judicial affairs, could not be reached for comment on the matter. According to reports, the victim arrived at the Sigma Phi Epsilon house around 9 p.m. for a Homecoming party with the accused fraternity member as her date. He had mixed drinks for them, including Smiroff raspberry vodka, prior to their arrival. The victim, 17 years old at the time, said she did not watch her date make the drinks and took additional shots in the house. The victim woke up naked in bed next to her date, who told her they had kissed but nothing more, reports state. Drug suspicions arose when the victim, who reports to be a light sleeper, slept through four phone calls after she went to bed that night. After waking up in pain and undergoing an examination at Shands at AGH, injuries consistent with sexual assault were noted, according to reports. The victim filed the complaint on Sept. 27 but asked that the investigation be halted a few days later. However, less than two weeks afterward, the. investigation was reopened, again at the victim's request, though no charges were filed against the accused member. Exercise may aid patients By ALICIA PEREZ Alligator Contributing Writer A new UF study shows people who suffer from the degenerative disease multiple sclerosis can reduce their level of fatigue through strength training. "This is the first published report using a conventional weight-training program for patients with multiple sclerosis," said Lesley-Vvhite, a professor in UP's department of applied physiology and kinesiology. "We designed an exercise program to develop muscle strength because multiple sclerosis causes muscle weakness and fatigue, which contributes to a declining cycle of fitness, loss of mobility and decreased quality of life." The study provides preliminary data for controlling deterioration of muscles and their function among MS patients, White said. The study, which included up to 30 minutes of supervised weight training twice weekly for eight wee k, concentrating on the legs, abdomen and lower back, increased participants' strength, thereby decreasing their exhaustion. Fatigue is the most common symptom of MS. Although there is no known cure for MS, this study gives people suffering from the muscle-deteriorating disease a chance to gain control of their illness. Stella Sarkees, a participant in White's pilot study, was diagnosed with MS at age 25, when an attack left her temporarily paralyzed. "I was very scared -immobilized and depressed. It was a depression that you cannot imagine," she said in a press release. After eight weeks in the program, Sarkees noticed an improvement in her walking and was able to stop taking medication for muscle spasms. 1_P .Sk Although improving muscle strength is its main benefit, Sarkees said weight training gives -MS patients another less obvious but equally important advantage -the feeling of being more powerful. Feeling empowered keeps the focus on something other than the depression, the illness and the situation, Sarkees said in a press release. "Strength training helps multiple sclerosis patients to maintain muscle function," White said. "It helps them remain active and minimize deterioration in muscle mass." nie 01.718 W. Univ.

It doesn't strike us as coincidence when a flier for the morning-after pill appears in the Alligator as soon as a debate erupts about it on our pages. Obviously, that was a sign we haven't spent enough time stirring up trouble. We just smile and nod our heads when an elderly Presbyterian minister's last words were, "And when I go to heaven ." as he died mid-sentence in a sermon this week in Oviedo.

Darts & Laurels Kicking things off with a good-old Student-Government comedy, we extend a we-don't-think-that-word-meanswhat-you-think-it-means DART to Access for registering itself as The Phoenix Party for this semester's elections. For those keeping score at home, a phoenix is a mythological bird that died and then arose from its own ashes to live again, while Access is a party that won nearly every Student Senate seat in its second election and continues with essentially the same members and goals. Dreading a real-life "Ladder 49" right here in town, we offer a thariks-but-what's-taking-so-long LAUREL to the UF Department of Housing for installing fire sprinklers in Riker Hall, followed by a you've-got-to-be-kidding-me DART for planning to take until 2011 to have sprinklers installed in all dorms. While we buckle up and brace for the crash that comes at the end of every Hollywood chase scene, we toss a we'd-rather-they-kept-their-eyes-on-the-road DART to the .lorila,-'"-"_" flcsi-eetiadVes tr approving a bill that would allow police to pull over drivers for not wearing their seatbelts. If the bill makes it through the Senate, you'll have to start watching out for cops trying to match speed with you so they can squint through your new mirror-tinted windows to see if you're safely secured. In a nod to those movies that hit you over the head with a moral message at the end but can never make you actually believe it, we extend a that's-nice-but-it's-a-raindropin-the-ocean LAUREL to UF President Bernie Machen for planning to meet with the Alachua County Commission to discuss combating alcohol abuse among UF students and Gainesville residents. While we're glad he wants to help out, we've already got all the "Nobody Likes a Sloppy Gator" posters we need. And because we've always thought that movie got a bad wrap, we jettison a 'hear's-hoping-you-find-something-cool LAUREL to NASA for launching "Deep Impact," a rocket that will smash into a giant comet so scientists can study what's inside -which they expect will be the "building blocks" from which stars and planets first were formed.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 7 Letters to the Editor Child was given to his rightful parents Editor: What a happy new year it must be for Evan and his natural mother and father. Amanda Hopkins and Stephen White Jr. have fought long and hard for their son, and it is a relief to see Evan returning home. Dawn and Gene Scott may have raised him for three years, but they did so knowing Evan was much loved and wanted by his parents. Had they truly cared about his best interests, they would not have sought custody once Evan's family came forward. I am certain that Evan, like Anna Schnddt (known to the media as "Baby Jessica"), will be just fine once this whole mess is resolved. Though our adoption-happy culture may be loathe to admit it, they are very fortunate to have escaped the damage adoption so frequently inflicts on children and their families. I only hope reports of this case will stop calling Evan's mother and father "biological" parents. They are and always have been his .only parents. There's no doubt it my mind Evan knows who's who, and belittling the .family that nature gave him only serves to mask his captors' selfishness. Jessica DelBalzo Founder, Adoption: Legalized Lies Democratic Party merely reorganizing Editor: In her column Thursday, Alison Cullin basked in the Republican victories of the past three years while arrogantly advising the Democratic Party of its need for strong leadership and a clear message. Cullin has forgotten U.S. history is a cycle of changing majorities and that, until two years ago, the Democrats enjoyed a 40-year majority in Congress. The Republican Party underwent extensive reorganization after the Nixon debacle. Nowit is the Democrats' turn to reorganize. In what direction should the party head? Cullin warns against the liberalization of the Democratic Party. I remind her that in the 2004 presidential election, 48 percent of this country's electorate voted for a liberal Massachusetts senator. I would proffer that the Democrats lost the 2004 election not because, "the culture of America has changed, but the party has failed to change with it," as Cullin asserts, but rather because the Republicans did a much better job on the strategy front. They mobilized their supporters better than the Democrats, and the Democrats failed to highlight the failures of the Bush administration. As the Republican Party moves further to the right, I encourage the Democratic Party to preserve its values. Rather than become Republican-lite, I encourage them to be the voice of those who do not support ill-planned wars fought under false pretenses, of those who believe in equal treatment tnder the law regardless of sexual preference, of those who support evidence-based science and environmental policy, and of those who support a return to fiscal responsibility. Democrats do not need to change their message; they need to better express it. Eric Sandberg UF alumnus IdeAa S t h aAt let you now At GE, we believe in the power of ideas.

, ALLIGATOR RF RIAY JANUARY 14, 2005 VP resigns SFCC P NANCEE BAILEY GOES AFTER JUST SIX MONTHS. By SKYLER SMITH Alligator Writer The tenure of Santa Fe Community College's newest vice president did not last long. Nancee Bailey, who joined the college in July as vice president for Academic Affairs, abruptly resigned Sunday. Neither her resignation letter nor SFCC spokesman Larry Keen cited a reason for her sudden departure. Bailey was hired from Daytona Beach Cornunity College in July to head the largest of SFCC's six divisions. As head of Academic Affairs, Bailey controlled roughly 80 percent of the budget, Keen said. Last Fall, she proposed a reorganization of personnel and departments that met with disapproval from some faculty At a November meeting of the College Senate, the group that represents SFCC faculty, several members contested the college-wide overhaul because members said they were not consulted about the changes and the implementation was too broad. The decision was made to delay discussions until January so the entire college community could have input in the restructuring. The update on her progress should have been made public at the College Senate meeting held Tuesday, but with her departure the plan was scrapped. "I don't think anyone takes any delight in someone coming in and then leaving in six months," Keen said, when asked about the college community's reaction. He said her unpopular plan to reorganize SFCC was not the reason for her departure. "When somebody cuts their ties so quickly, that's their decision," Keen said. Bailey will be continuing to work at SFCC as a consultant in the workforce development division until June 30, said Keen, although she has moved but of her on-campus office.

10, ALLIGATORIN FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 605 TALLAHASSEE Faculty want chiropractic adjustment By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM Alligator Staff Writer jvanl@alligator.org TALLAHASSEE -The FSU Board of Trustees will decide today whether to endorse the construction of a proposed chiropractic school, one day after FSU faculty spoke out about their concerns with the plan. At a faculty meeting Thursday, FSU provost Larry Abele said there were benefits and drawbacks to the proposed program. Chief among his concerns was that FSU's academic reputation -and that of its science degrees -could be damaged if the school awards degrees in chiropractics due to public perception that it is illegitimate science. Abele said that if the program were implemented, it would have to distance itself from the kind of "vaguely defined practices in chiropractic about a vague power source somewhere," -the idea that readjusting the Ic'Medicine 8igfoot Anstitut Crop Circle Simulation PstL Laboratory tudi spine can cure all diseases by charmeling the body's life force properly. Mocking the proposal, FSU faculty members circulated a map comparing chiiropractics to astrology and UFO abduction studies. On the other hand, Abele said, a recent British study found spinal manipulation, a chiropractic method, was often cheaper and more helpful to patients than standard medical treatments. In taking the lead in science-based chiropractic education, FSU could blaze a trail in identifying the scientific benefits of chiropractic therapy, Abele said. That trail would be carved through uncharted territory. Since 1910, no public research university in North America has offered chiropractics as a scientific program, and that is enough for those who have mounted opposition to the proposed school. On Jan. 4, the board of the Capital Medical Society, which represents more than 500 Tallahassee-area doctors, voted unanimously The map shown below, which gives new functions to familiar FSU buildings, originally was created and distributed by the university's faculty to mock the school's proposed chiropractic program. Astrology klness Hoeopt F t Dealing Medicin 0e A channellng zndRemote -e Sensing 'Creationism, sf foundation Adapted from original document with help from St. Petersburg Times Mike Gimignani / Alligator Staff to oppose the school. On Dec. 29, the St. Petersburg Times reported that at least seven professors at the FSU medical school threatened to resign if the chiropractic school were approved. And on Wednesday, Florida Senate President Tom Lee (R-Brandon) said he was concerned that politicians inappropriately were trying to influence the FSU Board of Trustees and the state Board of Governors into approving the chiropractic school plan. Lee proposed to ban lobbyists from serving on such boards in the future and said he would like to de-politicize the boards, which he said have been packed with political patrons of powerful politicians. Such a measure would prevent John Thrasher, a former Florida House speaker and a current lobbyist, from being re-confirmed in his position as chairman of the FSU Board of Trustees when his term expires. That board is widely expected to endorse the proposed school today over its own faculty's objections, in part because of political pressure from allies of former House Speaker Johnnie Byrd and former Senate President Jim King (R -Jacksonville). Those leaders rushed through a bill in the last minutes of the 2004 legislative session to funnel $9 millon in annual funding from state liquor taxes to the school -forever, and without further legislative oversight. The legislation was spearheaded by Sen. Dennis Jones (R-Treasure Island), a King ally who is himself a practicing chiropractor. King told the St. Petersburg Times Jan. 3 that if FSU refused to build the school, "the Legislature would be angry." The university might have to cut funding in its other departments to return the $9 mil-: lion the Legislature originally allocated for the chiropractic school, King said. As for UF's take on the FSU chiropractic plan, Tom Fortner, spokesman for UF's Health Science Center, said the interest of UF's medical community is that there be a well organized and thoughtful process to determine if this or any other new program is truly needed. "We think all of Florida's public higher education would benefit from that," he said. LOVEC o LINES 6 Find someone special. Advertise in The Alligator classifieds. 373-FIND-F BURN VICTIM.

Ad es Sevc n yu tt BAs now available in backrubs, alien theories, mindreading, Suicide spurs jail changes By ELIZABETH PRANN Alligator Writer The Alachua County Jail had not had a suicide since August 1999 until Wednesday, when a 42-year-old robbery suspect took his own life. Unfortunately, this was not the first time recently an inmate has made an attempt. Since July, the mental-health area of the jail has had four suicide attempts when inmates tried to utilize a 10-foot tier PubiC drop to take their own Safety lives, Alachua County Sheriff's Office spokesman Jim Troiano said. "We were able to thwart them all .while they were in the process of happening," Troiano said. Detention staff aims to -avoid this type of situation by putting each inmate through an extensive screening process that begins with the arresting officer and ends with a professional medical clinician, Troiano said. Prior to this string of suicide attempts, Alachua County Sheriff Steve Oelrich requested in April a $26,000 barrier be installed in the mental-health area to block inmates from utilizing the tier drop to hurt themselves, Troiano said. He confirmed the Alachua County Commission has agreed to allot funds to. purchase the barrier. Detention staff members are awaiting its arrival. Chlroprac F LORE DA TRACK&F FIELD

UF's Campus Ministry Cooperative, the Dean of Students Office, the President's Office and the Institute of Black Culture will host a a multifaith, multicultural worship service in the Reitz Union Ballroom at 7 p.m. in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. UF President Bernie Machen will be the keynote speaker at the event, CaribSA will host its annual Fashion Talent Show today at 8 pm. in the Reitz Union Ballroom. The event will showcase performances by students and organizations from UF and other institutions. Party names borrowed from past PARTIES, from page he was unaware and "surprised" students Jessica Goodwin and Vanessa Goodwin have applied to re-register the Student Alliance Party. "I want to know what's happening," Offerither, an Alligator entertainment writer, said. Neither Goodwin returned phone calls or e-mails as of press time. Offenther said it was unlikely he would have re-registered the party name for the Spring election, but nevertheless he said it would have been nice to know about it as a former party leader. He said Jessica Goodwin was previously involved with the Student Alliance Party, but declined to comment further, noting he wanted to contact his former colleagues. Former Keg Party presidential nominee Travis Marsh said he doesn't know either Lauren Mauer or Richard "Ricky" Yan, who filled out the paperwork to continue his party's legacy. But when he used the Keg Party name for his campaign, he said he knew the original creators of the name and got their permission. Mauer and Yan did not return repeated phone calls and e-mails as of press time. "I made sure I got everyone's approval," Marsh said. "I think that's a good way to go about things." Marsh said he thinks the name was registered just so no one else could use the Keg Party name. "I made sure I got everyone's approval. I think that's a good way to go about things." Travis Marsh former Keg Party presidential nominee Sen. Mackenzie Moritz has registered as president of the Progress Party. He said he didn't call the previous party leader for approval to use the name, but said that since the name hasn't been used since 1999, students wouldn't be misled about its leadership. Fried said whatever the future holds, she hopes students will "be able to decipher between student parties that are concerned about them as opposed to student parties that are concerned about themselves." Flickerstick frontrnan shares TV, road experiences F lickerstick, participants of VH1's "Bands on the Run" in 2001, wouldn't go back and do it again. "We're glad it's over," says vocalist Brandin Lea. "I'm not a fan of reality TV." Though Flickerstick spent much of their stint on the show drunk, Lea says there were plenty of wild things that happened that did not end up on television. "They couldn't show a lot of stuff for obvious reasons," he says. "I wouldn't even know where to begin. I don't remember a lot of it, to tell you the truth." Since re-releasing "Welcoming Home the Astronauts" on Epic Records in November 2001 and selling 100,000 copies, the band has been busy. Flickerstick left Epic soon after in search of a better opportunity for their musical talent. "When you're with a major label, there's always ups and downs," Lea says. "At that time we were touring so much, we didn't really notice we were on a major label half the time." "It was fine for the time we were on," he adds. "I'm not surprised we broke off from them when we did." Their new darker sounding disc, "Tarantula," was released Oct. 5. "'Astronauts' was written when I was very young," Lea says. "'Tarantula' is a different sound because it's many years later and after many years on the road." Saturday brings the band to Gainesville with openers Tune and Gadwell Lane. Though Flickerstick has toured six times in Florida, Gainesville has never been a tour stop. Two years ago, Flickerstick was scheduled to come, but forced to cancel due to a muJacqueline sic video Davison shoot in Playlist California. "We didn't jdavison@alligator.org want to cancel, Lea says. "They just sort of made us." In the next year, the band plans to continue touring with "Taranfula," Lea says. "We won't be gone like we used to be. We're not going to be on the road nine months of the year like before." For the record, Flickerstick's band symbol is not a tampon, but the scientific symbol for a gamma ray. "The kid that did our artwork for 'Astronaut' thought it would be cool," Lea says. "I don't know where he found it or what it pertains to, but I guess he thought it pertained to the artwork, and it was cool." Kegal .emas STARTS WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19!

FRIDAY, JANUARV 14;, 005 U ALLIGATOR, 21 Turnovers and poor shooting result in loss to tenacious Tigers at home WOMEN from page 24 ing scorer. "Most definitely, I have to learn to be stronger with the ball and adjust to things I see on the court that I should be more aware of." As Williams struggled, so did junior Bernice Mosby, the team's leading scorer. Mosby dominated the glass, recording 15 rebounds, but made just 2 of 11 shots. Finishing with 4 points, Mosby struggled with LSU's aggressive defense. "I think that LSU had to concentrate on Bernice," Peck said. "I think it was very hard for her to get in the flow of the offense with how LSU was defending us and how we were moving the basketball." The Gators scored the first 5 points of the night, but that would be their only lead. Both teams were off their game to start, as LSU shot 37 percent to UF's 28 percent in the first half. The Gators recorded 16 first-half turnovers. Peck said UF was .not yet into its offensive game plan, and down 25-18 at the half, she had high hopes for the final 20 minutes. "I thought that we'd correct the turnovers we had in the first half," Peck said. "There were just times where we didn't make good decisions with the basketball." Players can lack focus when returning home MEN, from page 24 added pressure." Donovan said he's quite familiar with homecoming experiences. As a collegiate player at Providence, the Rockville Centre, N.Y., native felt the pressure against St. John's. And as a coach, Donovan has had to deal with Saginaw, Mich., native Anthony Roberson, who grew up 54 miles from East Lansing, facing Michigan State in the 2003 NCAA Tournament. Donovan hopes he can help Brewer focus against a veteran Vanderbilt team that was picked to. finish last in the SEC East. The departure of forward Matt Freije seemingly -created a tremendous talent vacuum for the Commodores. Vanderbilt, however, has had little difficulty replacing Freije's SECleading 18.4 points per game. His absence may actually benefit the Commodores, Donovan said. "Last year, when you have a player like Freije, you've got to utilize him as a coach," Donovan said. "To me they're a much better balanced team, a more well-rounded team. They're one of those teams that arescary because you don't know who is going to step up." junior guard Mario Moore leads the Commodores, averaging 14.1 points per game while shooting a SEC second-best 47.7 three-point percentage. Moore had sparked the Commodores (11-5) to a 2-0 conference start before losing by 15 to No.9 Kentucky in Lexington Wednesday. Despite that recent loss, Donovan said he considers the Commodores one of the most dangerous teams in the nation. "I know Kentucky beat them, and playing in Rupp [Arena], there's obviously a tremendous advantage there," Donovan said. "Going into that game, I think you'd be hard pressed to say there are 10 teams in the country that are playing better basketball than Vanderbilt." 7"" ~'-~ /< Supe'rudge 1315 S.

And if you think he is worried about it, think again. "Nobody believes in themselves more than me," Roberson said after the game. With Roberson as the catalyst, UF has a chance to open up SEC play at 5-0 before the big boys come calling South Carolina, Mississippi State, Alabama and Kentucky. Wednesday night proved him to be capable. The next three games will determine if it was a fluke. And the stretch that follows will put him to the ultimate test.

22, ALLIGATOR U FRIDAY, JANUARY 14,2005 FOOTBALL Incoming coaches primed to take control of team By ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff Writer aabramson@aligator.org The days of yearning for former football coach Ron Zook may officially be over for several UF receivers. All it took was a glance at the Fiesta Bowl. "I talked to a couple of them afterward and they were excited," said 'UIF's new receivers coach, Billy Gonzales, who helped Urban Meyer lead Utah to a Fiesta Bowl win. "One of the young men [at Utah] set a Fiesta Bowl record with 15 catches in one game .We're going to ask them to work, and we're going to try to outwork every other team in the country, and that's what we're going to put our stake in." UF's new offensive look was just one of many issues that Meyer's new staff discussed at length Thursday as the media got their first opportunity to mingle with the incoming crew. With Meyer off on the recruiting trail in hopes of locking up some of the nation's top talent, his staff members currently in Gainesville laid out their various philosophies, which included a return to discipline and an untraditional offense. "I believe this is going to be a very aggressive program, a very disciplined program. But we want to have fun," co-defensive coordinator Greg Mattison said. "Whenever you talk about a program being disciplined, sometimes you get a stereotype of a real strict regime. These kids will have fun." After several publicized off-thefield incidents during the Zook era, it appears the new staff will place a huge emphasis on discipline. On Thursday, Gonzales went to the apartment of receivers Chad Jackson and Andre Caldwell to inspect their living conditions. "I stopped by to make sure I knew how they're living, make sure they're living Gonzales the right way," Gonzales said. He may not have gotten a true evaluation. "They knew I was coming by, so the apartment was pretty spic-andspan clean," he said. Jackson and Caldwell will be spending plenty of time outside their apartment with Gonzales and Meyer as the coaches install their offense, one of the most potent in the nation last season at Utah. Gonzales said most of the receivers watched his Utes dismantle Pittsburgh in the Fiesta Bowl, 35-7. "Our wide receivers ran the ball last year," Gonzales said. "We're going to bring them back in motion. We're going to bring them back to getting pitched, face and use them in different ways." Gonzales praised quarterback Chris Leak. Despite leading the Southeastern Conference in passing yards and touchdowns, it took just five sacks in a Peach Bowl loss to Miami for a small faction of UF fans to call for Meyer to open up the position. Gonzales, however, did not seem interested in that idea. "I think he's exceptional. I think he's fantastic," he said of Leak. "Everybody gets excited [about] what he can do in our offensive system. You're darn right he's exciting. "He's a good athlete, a good quarterback, and hopefully we can tap everything he has and hopefully he'll bring the level up amongst the rest of the players on the team as a leader." Most of the staff will spend a good portion of January recruiting, trying to convince prospects that everything at UF is stable despite the coaching changes. "The young men that we're recruiting understand about Florida football, what it entailsand the tradition-rich family history that Florida brings to them," Gonzales said. "It's an easy sell. Florida sells itself." Many commitments to be made at Al -American Bowl N UP TO EIGHT GATORS RECRUITS COULD COMMIT ON SATURDAY. By ERIC ESTEBAN, Alligator Writer eesteban@a11igator.org SAN ANTONIO -Try telling 78 high schoolers that Saturday football is hibernating until the next college football season. The U.S. Army All-American Bowl, an annual high-school all-star game that features the nation's premier prep talents, will kick off from San Antonio at 1 p.m Saturday. The game will air on NBC. As in recent years, the game is of great interest to UF's recruiting efforts. Of the 78 participants, 20 are expected to pledge oral commitments throughout the game. "Everyone is just out here having fun," Martellus Bennett told Scout.com. He is ranked the No. 2 tight end in the nation by that Web site. "I predict the West is going to win by 17 points." As many .as eight prospects could commit to UF, with several slated to make a decision during the game. In the game two years ago, UF quarterback Chris Leak received his National Player of the Year trophy and announced his decision to come to UF at halftime. During the game, Leak connected with future teammate Andre Caldwell on .a touchdown strike. More than 30,000 people are expected to attend this year's AllAmerican Bowl, which divides its high-school stars into East and West teams. "I like to call it the Super Bowl of high school football," said Garrett Shea, director of the bowl game. Oral commitments are nonbinding until a national letter-of-intent is signed on National Signing Day on Feb. 2.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 23 U s se es S EC re ma n tmh N TWO SENIORS WILL NOT COMPETE IN THE ALL-AROUND. By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer dtreat@alligator.org Two of the three most important competitions this season will come on the road for the UF gymnastics team: the Southeastern Conference championships in Duluth, Ga., and the NCAA championships in Auburn, Ala. Tonight, the No. 12 Gators get their first taste of life on the road as they head to Baton Rouge, La., to take on No. 20 Louisiana State, the sixth top-25 team UF will face this season. The opponent, however, is of little consequence to UF coach Rhonda Faehn. "LSU for us, in our minds, is our first road competition of the season," she said. "So we're focusing on fixing the routines and the errors we made last week and learning from it." Despite their coach's feelings, the Gators will get a look at the last remaining team that defeated them at the SEC championships in 2004, having faced Georgia and Alabama last weekend. UF captured a dual meet against the Tigers by nearly two points early last season, but LSU later overtook the Gators by .05 points to take third at the conference championships. Despite the strong showing at last week's Super Six Challenge, Faehi has elected to shuffle the lineup this week. The most notable difference is the absence of Orley Szmuch in several events. Hampered by an ankle injury, Szmuch will not be competing in the all-around. or floor exercise this week, and possibly not in vault. "We're going to be resting Orley this week so she's 100 percent for our home meet next week against Nebraska," Faehn said. Sophomore Katie Rue will be taking Szmuch's place in floor exercise and freslunan Tiffany Murry will compete in the all-around in just her second collegiate meet. Murry will be joined by Breanne King, second in last weekend's meet, and fellow freshman Ashley Reed. If Szmuch sits out vault, then Tracey Rai will compete in her place in addition to her spot on floor. This week could also see the 2005 debut of Chantelle Tousek, a 2004 first-team AllAmerican on vault. "We're going to put Chantelle out there," Faelm said. "Whether she's involved, or does exhibition routines on beam and floor to see how the judges score her new routines -because she has a lot of new elements and we want'to see how the judges score those." One performer who will not be rushed back is senior co-captain Erinn Dooley, who is still recovering from a stress fracture in her left foot. "This week Dooley is still just going to be doing beam," Faehn said. "We won't look to be putting her into any more events for at least another couple of competitions. "It's still so early, it's just the beginning of January. We need her in March and April, so to push her now would not be smart." Star out for season By NATASHA WEINSTEIN Alligator Writer nweinstein@aligator.org While the UF men's tennis team begins the 2005 season this weekend at the Southeastern Conference Indoor Championship in New Orleans, one of the Gators' topranked players will be missing from the court. Junior Janne Holmia underwent back surgery early Thursday morning that will cause him to miss the entire season. Despite reoccurring back problems, Holmia has an overall collegiate career record of 54-20. Holmia was ranked 50th in singles play in the ITA NCAA Division I Collegiate Tennis Rankings released Thursday. "Season-ending injuries are an unfortunate part of all sports; it's a terrible thing for Jaime," Coach Andy Jackson said. "Janne and the rest of our team will respond in the correct way." For the second consecutive year, the team was ranked third in the preseason. However, the loss of Holnia was not factored into the ranking, "We are pleased to be ranked third in the initial 2004 poll and to start in the top five for the third straight season," Jackson said. "The expectations for us are high, but so are our talent and experience levels." Aside from Holmia, in singles play, freshmen Nestor Briceno and Greg Ouellette ranked 46th and 47th respectively. Senior Vladimir Obradovic was 63rd and redshirt junior Chris Brandi ranked 82nd. "Season-ending injuries are an unfortunate part of all1 sports; it's a terrible thing for Janne. Janne [Holmia] and the rest of our team will respond in the correct way. Andy Jackson UF men's tennis coach Doubles pair Holmia and Ouellette were ranked 26th. No announcements have been made as to who will replace Holmia in this duo. The Gators were one of nine SEC teams to crack the top 25. No SEC team was ranked lower than 38th. Of the 20 opponents UF will play in dual matches in 2005, 19 appeared in the top 75 of the ITA rankings. Dual matches begin on Jan. 23 when the Gators host No. 68 Central Florida. TRACK Meet kicks off track season By CHUCK BAER Alligator Writer The UF men's and women's track teams begin the 2005 indoor seasonranked highly and plan on finishing the season ranked even higher. According to Trackshark.com's Trackwire rankings, the men's team is tied with Michigan for second in the nation, while the women's team is ranked third. "We traditionally do a little better than we've been ranked," men's track coach Mike Holloway said. "So if we do that this year, we'll be number one at the end of the year." Both teams start their indoor seasons on campus Saturday morning in the Florida Intercollegiate meet. The meet features teams from across the state, including Florida State, Miami, Florida A&M and Bethune-Cookman. The women's team, led since 1993 by Coach Tom Jones, returns a strong throwing section. The star is Olympian Candice Scott, who holds the collegiate and state record in the weight throw. UF's sprinters will be missing sophomore Tiandra Ponteen, who is out with a hamstring injury. Ponteen holds the UF record in the 400meter dash. "Tiandra will not run in the open," Jones said. "Maybe in the 4x400, but we're being pretty cautious, She's back to about 90 percent." Jones said the Gators will most likely face their toughest competition from FSU and Miami. "Anytime you bring those two teams together, it gets pretty interesting," he said. Because the meet will not be scored, it will be an opportunity for younger athletes to gain experience and for Jones to decide who will travel With, theteam Id.their upcoming awaymeet at Clemson. "It's a fun meet," Jones said. "But we want our kids to run fast." Meanwhile, the men will go into their season ranked second in the country, but don't plan on letting it go to their heads. "I really don't put any stock in those rankings," Holloway said. "Rankings are something that gives sportswriters and people like that something to do. Championships are won on the track." Holloway sees this meet as a chance for his athletes to gain experience. "We've been training for the last 16 weeks," he said. "We're coming off a break from Christmas, and we've been back at school for a Halloway couple weeks. [The meet isj just kind of something to not be training and give us an idea of where we are and where we need to go." Senior leaders include Kyle Farmer, Stefan Pastor, Dwight Ruff and Josh Walker. "They're kind of the backbone of our program, to be honest," Holloway said. "We're excited for that group; they're all All-Americans." Like Jones, Holloway expects the tightest competition to -come froin FSU and Miami, which both have good sprinting programs. "Florida State has a good team," he said. "They're a program on the rise. The University of Miami always has some good sprinters. Florida A&M has some good sprinters and jumpers." Last season, the men's team finished fist in the Southeastern Conference indoor championships and second in the NCAAs. Just one week into the season, Coach Rhonda Faehn and her gymnastics team will face a road challenge against No. 20 Louisiana State tonight. The Gators will look to get payback from the Southeastern Conference championships.

Sports FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/sports No. 3 LSU downs UF's upset hopes UF guard Sarah Lowe drives past LSU's Quianna Chaneyn during the second half of a 64-47 LSU win. E GATORS FELL SHORT IN THE SECOND HALF. By MICHAEL MAURINO Alligator Writer mmaurino@alligator.org They had the drive, the determination and a five-game winning streak. Added together, a win was not on the end of the formula. .Struggling all night, the UF women's basketball team lost to No. 3 Louisiana State 64-47. For the Gators (11-5, 2-1 Southeastern Conference), there were hopes of the program's biggest win Thursday. The Gators were coming off a comeback win against Auburn on Sunday and had the confidence needed to beat the Tigers (15-1, 2-0 SEC). In the second half, it seemed like UF would finally beat a topthree team. After LSU took an 11-point lead early in the second frame, UF started clicking. With threepointers from guard Tishona Gregory and forward Tashia Morehead leading the way, the Gators trailed 33-28 with 11 minutes to play. But all the run did was awaken a sleeping giant. LSU would open up a 12-5 run in the next three minutes, squashing any hopes of another UF comeback. "We made a run of it," Coach Carolyn Peck said. "At that point I'm thinking, alright, we're getting ready to cut loose and really play our game. But LSU -they stepped up their offense as well." UP kept the game close until the later stages of the game. Clearly focused 6n containing Player of the Year candidate Seimone Augustus, the Gators held LSU to 37-percent shooting in the first half. Augustus was a non-factor as she scored 6 points to start, finishing with 18. Peck had been pleased with the way the game was going until LSU surged ahead. "It was a pretty good ballgame for three-quarters of the g amie, Women's she said. Basketball "Within LSU 64 that last Ui F 4 quarter of _ 47 the game, t h a t s w h e r e LSU stepped their game up and were able to pull away." On this night, shooting and turnovers were the reasons for UF's loss. After playing so well in her last two outings, senior Tamia Williams struggled. Despite finishing with a team-high 15 points, the senior shot 5 of 15 from the field, combined with eight turnovers. Williams, the SEC Co-Player of the Week, said LSU's 19 points off turnovers were the difference in the win: something she will learn from in the future. "I really have to learn from [the turnovers]," said Williams, who is the team's second-leadSEE WOMEN, PAGE 21 Roberson's outing huge for Gators' success Where was UF going to get those 16 points from? That was the question posed when Matt Walsh went down with an ankle injury prior to the start of Southeastern Conference play. Would a freshman step up and contribute more on offense? Maybe David Lee would hoist the Gators on his back. Perhaps UF would rely more on defense to make up the scoring void. Or might Walsh's absence cripple the team until his return? For one night, in the Gators' first conference road game, Anthony Roberson provided a simple solution -if he drops 34, the problem is solved. The junior guard was averaging a little mork than 16 points per game entering the contest. But after dominating overtime and more than doubling his season average, Roberson helped UF escape Auburn with a win. A win the Brian Shaffer Gators needed against a Shaf At Home team they were widely bshaffer@alligator.org expected to beat. After watching a desperation heave fall with zeros on the clock to force overtime, it was a game that could have easily slipped away. Except Roberson wouldn't let it.
