* THE STATE ATTORNEY'S
OFFICE COULD NOT FIND
ENOUGH EVIDENCE.

By MEGAN SEERY

Local authorities recently closed
an investigation into alleged voter
fraud against UF students before the
2004 general election, after evidence
proved insufficient for prosecution.
"No charges will be filed against
anyone," State Attomey's Office
spokesman. Spencer Mann said.
"There was not enough evidence
to establish the identification of a
subject."
The investigation began in"
October \, hin then-Alachua County
Supervisor of Elections Beverly Hill
forwarded to the state attorney
about 500 primarily student voter
registration forms after she ques-
tioned their validity.
An inordinate number of forms
requested a change in patty affilia-
tion, and most registrants "emphati-
cally" denied they asked to change


parties, Hill said at the time.
Several students alleged that
Young Political Majors LLC, whose
voter drive was sponsored by the
Republican Party, tricked students
into changing their affiliations with
a fake petition.
Investigators randomly called
about 200 of the 500 registrants in
question, Mann
said.
"There were
numerous people
involved in the
registrations,
and none of them
could be identi-
Carpenr fied by the peo-
pie who signed
the forms," he said. "There was no
particular way to establish who of-
fered the registration form."
Also, registrants take some
responsibility when they sign the
forms, making it difficult to prove
that wrongdoing occurred, he said.

Meyer continues to boost UF's recruiting rankings


By ERIC ESTEBAN
Alligator Writer -
eesteba n@alligator.org

Coach Urban Meyer's calling card has
been doing the unthinkable.
With Bowling Green and Utah already
under his belt, Meyer has made his first
imprint on the Gators via the recruiting
world by doing what analysts said couldn't
be done.
SIn less than a month's time, Meyer has
inched up the Scout.com recruiting rankings
to No. 17, three spots behind Miami and 11
spots ahead of No. 28 Florida State.
"I've said in the past that wherever
there is a coaching change, recruiting will

always be a struggle," said Jamie Newberg,
Scout.com's national recruiting analyst.
"Having said that, it is pretty evident that
Meyer and staff are going to be the first to
disprove my philosophy."
When former head coach Ron Zook
hit the recruiting trail in his first year, he
was able to net current NFL-bound Gators
Ciatrick Fason and Channing Crowder.
However, that class still finished outside of
the top-10.
"The most important thing right now.
is that Meyer is finding a way to fulfill his
team needs with quality players," Newberg
said. "If he continues at this pace, the. Gators
have a definite shot of finishing with a top-
10 recruiting class."

conflict


this Spring

E STUDENTS ARE FORCED TO
CHOOSE BETWEEN PRIORITIES.

By LAURA JONES
Alligator Contributing Writer

This semester's final exam and com-
mencement schedule at UF might leave
some students choosing between celebrat-
ing a religious holiday and taking a final or
participating in commencement.
This year, the Jewish holiday of Passover
begins on the night of April 23 and ends on
April 30. Most finals and commencements.
also fall on these dates.
"Passover is considered one of the most
important holidays," said Ari Kaiman, UF
Jewish Student Union president. "It rep-
resents the liberation of the Jewish people
from enslavement. This is a very important
theme throughout Judaism."
University Ombudsman Tommie
Howard said no one has come to him yet
with complaints about the issue.
"My feeling is that 100 percent of our
faculty members are sensitive to the date in
question, so they are willing to work with
the students," Howard said.
Students with a conflict
Student should contact their professors,
ie he said. If any student feels ad-
versely affected by a university
policy, however, that student should come
to his office to speak with him about the
matter.
UF economics professor Mark Rush has
already been confronted by several of his
students concerning this issue.
His nhicroeconomics final is on the first
night of Passover, traditionally the most im-
portant night of the holiday, Rush said.
"I think there has to be some resolution,"
he said. "It's not acceptable."
After the conflict was brought to his at-
tention, he posted an e-mail explaining the
situation and discussed it in class, Rush said.
He assured his students he is trying to work
out an alternative date with the registrar.
Kaiman said, "I don't think the uni-
versity would ever intentionally schedule
something on a Jewish holiday to spite
Jewish students, but I do think that it is a
very unfortunate situation for the Jewish
students."
Kaiman said that although UF has one of
the largest Jewish student populations of the
southeastern public universities, he accepts
that UF has no obligation to change for the
Jewish student population.
"We will not be making any official com-
plaints or lodges because the university has
already made its decision," he said.
UF has been aware of the scheduling con-
flict for a while but has done nothing about
it, Kaiman said.
Howard said the policy of the university
is to create the schedule for both finals and
commencement years in advance.
Kaiman said he is most concerned about
the conflict with commencement because
there are no alternative dates for it.
For those who cannot go home for
Passover or who have family coming to
town during the holiday for commence-
ment, Kaiman said Hillel will offer kosher
Passover meals, and the staff would be
happy to accommodate.

Greek average GPAs dip slightly in 2004


IFC wins regional GPA excellence award


By KYLIE CRAIG
Alligator Writer
kcraig@alligator.org

Fraternities and sororities at UF reported
a decrease in their overall GPAs from last
Spring, but not by much.
According to Fall 2004 semester reports,
the all-sorority average GPA was 3.307, a
decrease from the Spring GPA of 3.326. The
all fraternity average GPA rounded out at
2.918, also a decrease from a Spring average
of 3.058.

Fraternities win GPA award
Even with the decrease, the UF fraternity
system received the Gamma Sigma Alpha
Southeastern U.S. Regional GPA Award for
academic excellence in December.
"We have worked very hard over the last
year to implement academic programming
to give as much support as possible to mem-
bers as they pursue their scholastic goals,"
IFC President John Dicks stated in a recent
release.
The award was calculated by compar-
ing the fraternity's GPAs to the all-men's
average at UF. It included the GPAs of the
Interfraternity Council, Multicultural Greek
Council and National Panhellenic Council.
According to the release, UF's fraternity
averages beat out non-Greek UF males by .05
percent.
Of the 32 fraternities, IFC member Alpha
Epsilon Pi boasted the highest Fall GPA aver-
age at 3.428.
"Academics is one of the reasons we're
here," Alpha Epsilon Pi president Danny
Miller said. "We focus more on a fraternity of
well-rounded brotherhood."
Miller said he also noticed a smarter breed
of kids coming through the fraternity because
of increasing academic standards at UF

Sororities also recognized
At the top of the sorority GPA rankings
was Panhellenic Council member Alpha
Epsilon Phi, with a GPA of 3.532..
Both Alpha Epsilon Pi and Alpha Epsilon'
Phi were recognized with academic excellence'


awards for their GPAs.
Of the four Greek councils at UF, the
Panhellenic Council had the highest GPA
average, followed in rank by the IFC, the
Multicultural Greek Council, and finally the
National Panhellenic Council.
The Panhellenic Council's average GPA
topped the other councils with a 3.301, re-
ports from the Dean of Student's Office show.
Reports also show the National Pan-
Hellenic Council fraternities and sororities
ranked the lowest of all council GPAs at


2.568.
The rankings haven't changed since 2003
when the PC held the highest avergae GPA of
the councils and the NPHC held the lowest.
The fraternity with the lowest average
GPA from the four councils is NPHC member
Omega Psi Phi, with a 1.640.
The sorority with the-lowest average GPA
is Kappa Phi Lambda, a new associate mem-
ber of the MGC.
Officers of the Panhellenic, Multicultural
Greek and National Pan-Hellenic Councils
could not be reached for comment on this
report.


Greeks' GPAs take t wasn't a total loss, but Greek organizations'

not-so-dramatic slip grade-point averages have fallen since 2002.

Progress Party seeks student platform input

The Progress Party's executive can-

"The way we're trying to make it is
very simple," Henriques said.
Suggestions brought up during thc dis-
cussion ranged from general ideas about
parking improvements and tuition rates to
one student's wish for a 24-hour omelette
station on campus.
Party leaders said they will use these
discussions along with survey results from

"Anything that costs money, we're would make long-lasting improvements


to the university, including an updated
and accurate SG Web site as a resource for
faculty and students.
Roberts, the director of SG's technology
cabinet, said he would use his experience
in the executive office to help oversee proj-
ects like updating the SG Web site.
"A promise made is gonna be a promise
kept," he said.
With legislative slating still more than
two weeks away, Progress leaders are
encouraging students to get involved and
turn in applications for Senate positions.
Despite what Moritz called a "falling
out" with fellow senators elected last year
on the governing Access Party's ticket, he
said he still maintains a good working re-
lationship with its members.
Sen. Christian Duque and Sen. Richard
Rodriguez, both elected along with Moritz
in Spring 2004, now are the presidents of
the Voice Party and the Phoenix Party,
respectively.
Leaders of the Phoenix Party, who ran
as the Access Party last Spring, will hold a
nominating convention Monday from 9 to
11 p.m. in Reitz Union Room 282.
SG elections will be held March 15 and
16, after UF's Spring Break.
Senators approved the date change in

Students, overcrowded at UF gyms, pay for fitness


By HEATHER BERGER

As the new year brings new
resolutions to lose weight, students
are questioning whether UF's fit-
ness centers are up to the task.
Overcrowding at these centers
is becoming an inconvenience for
many, leading students to join pri-
vate facilities around Gainesville.
"I just can't believe how packed
it is," said Veronica Cooper, a stu-
dent who frequents the UF fitness
centers.
Cooper said she will have to join
another fitness facility if she doesn't

Although students have com-

the UF fitness centers, there are
no plans for expansion in the near
future.
"I don't think anything is being

"Southwest Rec was just expanded

Without plans for expansion,

stay loyal to the UF fitness centers
while hoping for improvement or

Despite broken resolutions that
come with January's end, Cooper
does not see a change for the UF
facilities anytime soon.
"You know, right now it's New

"But Spring Break is so early this
year that I don't think anyone is
giving up their space just yet."

COB u".u' COMMISSION

Bureaucratic error leads to Payne's Prairie trouble


By STEVE SPECHT
Alligator Writer
sspecht@alligator.org

A mistake made in 1991 came out in
Tuesday's Alachua County Commission
meeting.
The commission deferred a decision as
to what action should be taken regarding a
mislabeling of multiple areas of privately
owned properties surrounding Payne's
Prairie State Preserve as preservation ar-
eas rather than conservation areas, a label
reserved only for public land.
Debate continued for three hours be-
cause a private owner of 25 acres of the
disputed land wanted to have the label


on 9.93 acres changed so the land could be
used for private use. Conservation lands
still have strict guidelines as to what can

.The land in ques-
tion is east of U.S. 441
i on Williston Road.
SLandowners Caroline
Henderson and
Constance Holloway are
looking to sell their 9.93
DeLaney acres to Ludivine Kail
and her partners, who plan to construct
a recreational area much like the ropes
courses at Lake Wauburg.
"It's in the trees no man-made struc-
tures," Kail said.


Changing the designation of only 9.93
acres would prevent the area from being
used for residential structures because
housing on conservation areas requires
at least 10 acres, County Attorney David
Wagner said, with a only a single unit al-
lowed per 10 acres.
"Any other use that may be more in-
tense is not allowed," Wagner said.
Commissioner Paula DeLaney ex-
pressed concern about dividing up the
land's designation.
"Why are we carving out one little
piece when all of these are supposed to be
conservation?" DeLaney said.
In spite .of the commission implying
it could not legally deny Henderson and


Holloway's request to change the designa-

Lesbian couple tells students of their fight for rights


* RUTH AND CONNIE MET
OVER 40 YEARS AGO.

Like many couples, Ruthie
and Connie finish each other's
sentences. They interrupt one an-
other. They bicker.
But in many ways, Ruthie and
Connie are not like other couples.
Ruth Berman and Connie
Kurtz spoke in the Reitz Union to
an audience of about 70 Tuesday
about their experiences and their
activism as a lesbian couple.
The event, sponsored by the
Pride Student Union, the Jewish
Student Union and UF Hillel, also
featured a screening of the award-
winning film "Ruthie and Connie:
Every Room in the House," docu-
menting the couple's experiences.
The duo met in Brooklyn in
1959 when they were both young
and married with children. In
1974, they realized they were in
love and left their husbands. They
moved in together, though at first
they denied to their families they
were romantically involved.
They tell in the film how they
placed separate nameplates on
separate bedroom doors to keep

their children from thinking they
were sleeping together.
"This represents, in a huge
way, the closet--of what someone
would go through to put' out a
lie," Berman said.


The film also included a clip
of the pair's appearance on Phil
Donahue's show in 1988.
At the time they were suing
the New York Board of Education
because Kurtz could not get the


benefits normally entitled to the
spouse of an educator.
"The laws are against me. I
refuse to keep quiet," Berman
firmly said in the video clip,
drawing applause from the Reitz


Union audience.
In 1994, with two other cou-
ples, they won the lawsuit, win-
ning medical and dental benefits
for gay and lesbian partners of all
New York City employees.
After the film, the
On two took questions
from the audience.
"We seemed to
have touched many people's
lives," Kurtz said. "Your response
says that you also agree."
She stressed the importance of
being an .outspoken activist, and
the need to acknowledge her rela-
tionship with Berman.
"We are a loving couple in ev-
ery room of the house," she said.
Currently, the two, along with
nine other couples, are involved
in a Florida lawsuit to obtain mar-
riage licenses.
"I'm entitled, I demand and
I'm willing to challenge the de-
mocracy I hold so dearly," Kurtz
said.
They also distinguished be-
tween legal and religious mar-
riage, saying that they want the
legal benefits that come along
with a legal marriage.
"We're not talking about dilut-
ing family values. We just ask to
be included in family values,"
Kurtz said.


UF professors: Carson's legacy is comedy and tolerance


Late-night king became a


to newer comic acts
By LINDSAY TAULBEE
Alligator Writer
Itaulbee@alligator.org


Former "Tonight Show" host Johnny Carson will be re-
membered for influencing future comedians, helping smooth
the rocky race relations of his time and serving as a bridge to
modern comedy, selected UF instructors said after his death.
Kenneth Kidd, an associate English professor who teaches
media studies at UF, said Carson served as a bridge between
some of the more "genteel" figures of past variety shows and
the "post-modern" style of his successors.
Of the late-night hosts on television today, some more than
others retain a traditional feel reminiscent of Carson's, Kidd
said.
"I think (Jay) Leno probably comes the closest," he said.


He noted that Leno, Carson's successor, seems less cynical
than his counterparts, such as David Letterman, whereas hosts
like Craig Kilbom represent the opposite end of the spectrum,
he said.
Kidd also commented that "The Daily Show" host Jon
Stewart was unique because the comic expressed his opinions
more than most.
"I think he's by far the most politically outspoken," he said
of Stewart.
However, some say Carson, not known for strong politi-
cal opinions, had his own role in influencing the day's public
opinion.
Herb Press, a former chief of photography for UF News and
Public Affairs, studied Carson's monologues for his master's
thesis in 1982.
He analyzed more than 500 jokes from Carson's mono-
logues spanning four months, seeking a correlation between
the host's quips and recorded public opinion.
Press said he did riot find a "so-called empirical conclu-
sion." However, based on the available information, Carson's


monologues appeared to keep issues in the headlines longer,
Press said.
"In terms of politics, he reinforces a lot of what people be-
lieve, ard he can amplify issues and controversies in the news,"
he said.
Press said he was not surprised to hear of Carson's death.
"What did surprise me was the abundance of coverage," he
said, comparing the all-day news saturation to that following a
president's death.
Once he digested what happened, he realized what an
impact Carson had made on people and the significance of
Carson's 30 years on the air.
"It (Carson's tenure) was quite rare. It will probably never
happen again," he said.
David Hedge, a UF political science professor, said that
although Carson probably had some influence on public opin-
ion, he had a bigger effect on race relations.
He said he remembered being impressed by Carson's tol-
erance, something which Hedge said always existed on the
"Tonight Show."

Rice right

Senate should confirm

secretary of state choice
Condoleezza Rice has proven to be a controverisal
choice for secretary of state, as supporters praise her
experience and personality while dissenters attack
her closeness to President Bush and the handling of the war
in Iraq.
After heated debate, however, the Alligator editorial
board feels she is the right person for the job.
Her tenure as Bush's national security adviser has both
given her valuable experience and placed her firmly in the
president's trust. In.addition, her personable nature and
dedication well suit her for a position that would require her
to interact with widely different people but assert her own
beliefs when necessary.
Opponents argue she would not be effective because they
feel she is little more than a Bush lapdog. While it is true she
must demonstrate that she is willing to stand up to the ad-
ministration when she feels it is wrong, her close relationship
with Bush bodes well for the cohesiveness of U.S. foreign
policy. Rice's tendency to agree with Bush likely stems not
from a tendency to defer to him, but because she shares his
same ideals.
Because of Bush's reliance on Rice as a confidant, she
should have more success in convincing him to reconsider
his stance when they conflict than exiting Secretary of State
Colin Powell.
Furthermore, foreign dignitaries viewing her as someone
in Bush's "inner circle" would get more of a sense that they
were essentially speaking directly to the president-a factor
missing with Powell, who often was seen as far-removed
from the core of the administration.
Her opponent's other key contention is that her participa-
tion in the administration's decision to invade Iraq and her
ensuing statements concerning weapons of mass destruction
show that she is unfit for office.
Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut said it best in response
when he stated his belief that Rice should be considered
based on her qualifications for the position and her ability to
serve in the national interest, rather than on personal judge-
ments of each one of her actions.
And despite criticism, Rice has overwhelming support-
from both Democratic and Republican legislators. She
won the endorsement from the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee last week by a vote of 16-2, including approval
from six of the committee's eight Democrats.
Even Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, a dissenter of her appoint-
ment, agreed Rice's qualifications were not in question.
This support shows another one of her strengths as a poli-
tician -- her ability to appeal to a wide number of interests
because of her professionalism and demonstrated capability.
However, dissenters should not be begrudged their right
to protest the choice. Though Rice's appointment seems im-
minent, the opposition of some Democrats demonstrates
they will not simply comply with the wishes of the major-
ity a message that helps to refute the perception that
Democrats in this term will not provide a capable foil to the
Republican majority.
In the end, we believe Rice will be successful in the job
because of her record of achievement and her ability to win
people over with her personable and knowledgable nature.
Though controversial, Rice's appointment would be a
step in the right direction for U.S. foreign policy.

Guest column

Fraternity council fights against rape


he Interfraternity Council does not "condone" rape
and sexual assault. IFC detests rape and sexual as-
sault just as much as any women's organization and
regularly schedules programming and speakers to talk
about thi- serious issue. Each-semester, IFC educates 500
to 600 new members about sexual'assault. This is a large
group of men we hope Campus National Organization for
Women and other groups will use as a group to educate
instead of assessing blame.
January is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and
campus organizations such as Acting Against Rape Every
Student's Taskforce, the Panhellenic Council, Campus
NOW, the Center for Sexual Assault/Abuse Recovery
and Education and others have put on many educational
programs to prevent sexual assault. IFC has supported all
of these organizations in putting on these events and does
so 12 months a year.
There should not be a debate about the issues of sexual
assault and rape. These occurrences are problems but
they are problems everywhere: in dorms, bars and frater-
nity houses at the University of Florida, at other universi-
ties around the country and in all of the cities in all of the
world. They are problems that need to be discussed not
only in the month of January but all 365 days of the year.
IFC looks forward to working with Campus NOW,
AAREST, the Panhellenic Council and other campus or-
ganizations to address this problem together. Rape and
sexual assault unfortunately do occur in the fraternity life-
style, and it is a problem that IFC confronts. It is our hope
that we can work toward a solution together to educate,
ameliorate and liberate our organizations, and the campus
at large, of this crime.
IFC continually has taken proactive steps to educate


our men and protect women at our social events. A new
policy, just enacted this semester, states that only drinks in
sealed containers will be served at functions at fraternity
houses, in order to prevent the use of date-rape drugs.
Just last week, IFC worked with AAREST and CARE
as partners for Mike Domitrz's presentation titled "Can
I Kiss You? Dating, Communication, Respect & Sexual
Assault Awareness." It was part of the new member edu-
cation process for all 24 chapters,
John Dicks and IFC men made up a large part
Jeremy Martin of the audience.
Speaking Out IFC does not put the burden on
women to avoid rape and requires
our members to live up to the standard that we took as an
oath of brotherhood. That oath is one of respect, integrity
and character that we strive to live by every day.
IFC does take a proactive stance towards preventing
rape and sexual assault, but it is not enough. There is a
national problem when 10 percent of on-campus sexual
assaults occur-at fraternity houses, according to "Sexual
Victimization of College Women," a report published by
the U.S. Department of Justice in December 2000. It is also
a problem within the fraternity system at UF, even though
IFC actively works to prevent sexual assault.
SSexual assault also is. a problem outside of fraternity
houses, where 90 percent of on-campus sexual assault oc-
curs. It is a campus-wide problem that requires a campus-
wide effort. IFC looks forward to working with the Dean
of Student's Office, Campus NOW, AAREST, CARE and
others to pave the way to eliminate this problem in frater-
nity houses and the UF campus as a whole.
John Dicks and Jeremy Martin are president and administra-
tive vice president of UF's Interfraternity Council.

Board of Governors needs to take control of state system


Thursday, Florida's heavy hitters in
higher education will roll into town
for the Board of Governors meet-
ing scheduled at the Reitz Union. The hot
item: Florida State University's proposed
chiropractic school. But that's not the real
story at the Board of Governors meeting;
the real story is control. The board should
insulate the State University System from
political meddling. An autonomous board
would ensure that a proposal such as FSU's
chiropractic school would be reviewed on
its academic merit and benefits to Florida,
apart from short-sighted state politics.
But the Florida Student Association, and


therefore the Access Party, is afraid a stron-
ger board would increase tuition, implement
block tuition, ban alcohol within 100 miles of
campuses, mandate all classes be taught in
Russian, cause global warming, etc. Silly FSA
- don't you know change isn't always bad?
This is not' to say Florida's universities
should adopt block tuition. As UF Student
Body President Jamal Sowell said, "The stu-
dent body already has enough fees to pay."
Raising prices also could make a college
education prohibitively expensive for lower-
income students, trapping families in a cycle
of poverty. But the real reason not to block
tuition is because it won't work. Proponents

reason it would cause
students to graduate
sooner. Who wants
to pay for classes
they don't take? So,
the school forces you
to pay.
But not all


students need to
gbaker@alligator.org gduate sne
graduate sooner.
An October 2004
Board of Governors'
report shows students who graduate from
the university where they started earn their
degrees in 4.3 years on average. If 4.3 years is


the statewide average, I'll bet a fiddle of gold
UF's number is less. Compared to the rest of
the SUS, UF students are more likely to enter
college with credits from advanced placement,
international baccalaureate or dual-enroll-
ment classes; more likely to take on heavy
course loads; less likely to have to leave school
because of family or financial obligations; and
more committed to graduating on time.
So, to the Board of Governors: Send the
chiropractic school back to the drawing board
and disregard the block tuition yay-sayers.
To FSA andSG: Don't fear the reaper, baby.

-Letters to the Editor
Rapists would not respond to entreaties
Editor: In Monday's guest column,
Maxwell and Paggi suggest rape preven-
tion should focus on telling men not to
rape, rather than educating women on
how to prevent it. They say, "UF needs to
place more emphasis- on telling men not to
rape women, because it is men who are the
source of the problem." This is true, but the
suggested course of action is just silly. Using
that philosophy, I should reduce my chance
of being robbed not by getting stronger locks
or an alarm system but by putting a sign in
front of my house reminding passersby not
to rob me. Rapists don't rape because they
think it's OK, they do it because they are
damaged individuals with severe personal-
ity issues. If you want to prevent rape, carry
a Taser, a rubber band and a knife.
Use your imagination.

New parking restrictions worsen issue
Editor: I drove yesterday to the parking
spot I have used for after-hours parking
on campus for the last three years. There, I
found a card box preventing entrance and
a traffic jam of confused drivers. Without
the garage on Museum Road, every park-
ing area close to Turlington Hall was full
of angry students seeking a place to park in
overfilled lots.
I searched through all of my update
e-mails from the university and found no
mention of the boxes. I guess UF prefers
that students not be able to get back to cam-
pus after hours. It would have been nice -if
they would have told me, as I missed both
a study session and a club meeting. Like
many actions the school has taken, this latest
scheme seems to imply that the university


cares very little about making the campus
accessible to its own undergraduates.

Confusing line has readers misinformed
SEditor On Tuesday, you said "Gainesville
citizens could pay an average of $12 more
on their water bills and $14 more on their
electric bills if a proposed fire-hydrant and
streetlight fee is approved."
If that is per month, then it's a big deal;
If it's per year, then it's no big deal. Which
is it?
In this case, you failed to inform, so we
can't decide.

Students also against FSU chiropractics
Editor: This letter is in regards to the ar-
ticle in Thursday's Opinions section entitled-
"FSU chiropractic school deserves lack of
support." As an alumnus of FSU and a cur-
rent employee of FSU's College of Medicine,
I echo the sentiments expressed but feel it's
necessary to clarify a few points. Not only
does the FSU medical faculty vehemently
oppose the idea of this chiropractic school,
but the student population also opposes the
idea. It's not as if we have a choice, though.
Often, members of the legislature have more
to say about what happens to a college than
those who pay tuition. It is a sad day indeed
when the Board of Govenors and FSU's
Board of Trustees won't listen to the wishes
of the faculty. We're used to them ignoring
the will of the students but, as we are a
young medical school, it puts the degrees
that all the medical students work doggedly


for in the garbage. It makes them no better
than an Auburn graduate. One last note:
-Go Gators!
Nicole E. Rogers
FSU staff



Gators must take up arms against rape
Editor: Sexual Assault Awareness
Month? I didn't even know there was such
a thing. It's a shame that in a state where
our Second Amendment still is respected,
that more women aren't willing to defend
themselves by carrying a personal firearm.
Taking self-defense courses is fine, but it will
do little good against an armed rapist. On
our campus, our First Amendment is talked
about and practiced to death, but no atten-
tion is paid to the amendment that enforces
the first. I encourage all Gators especially
women to take a personal safety course
and apply for a concealed-weapons permit
and get involved in or at least check out
your localor campus pistol and rifle club.

Column underestimates recruiting class
Editor: Ian Fisher's column "2005 recruit-
ing class: quality over quantity" in Monday's
edition was ridiculous. It sounded as if he
has no idea of what's going on with Florida
football whatsoever. I would expect more
from the sports editor.
With almost 10 days left before signing
day and a boatload of recruits visiting this
weekend, how does Florida's recruiting
class not possibly have a shot at making the
top 10? According to www.scout.com, the
site he refers to, we've just moved up to the
No. 16 slot of recruiting classes, up from No.


29 yesterday. Some of the statements coming
from the commitments themselves, such as
David Nelson, are saying there likely are
going to be many more to come on signing
day. Not to mention the fact that we have
multiple four-star and five-star recruits still
debating on Florida, such as Brian Cushing
and O.J. Murdock. Even Antone Smith, the
nation's best running back according to
scout.com, still is considering UF as one of
his top 2 or 3 schools of choice.
UF's scout.com ranking of No. 16 doesn't
even take into consideration some of the soft
verbals we have, such as Avery Atkins, who
is a five-star recruit. Granted, he's stated his
visit to FSU recently has opened up his mind
a little, but he visits with us later this week
- which should help our chances in sealing
the deal.
There is plenty of opportunity for and
possibility of us having a top 10 recruiting
class this year, regardless of where we are
now. But the fact is, we're only halfway
through our shortened commitment pro-
cess, and it seems like it's very early to state
we don't have a chance at ranking in the
top 10. I'm not even going to comment on
your statement about the kicker, Jonathan
Phillips, being the biggest recruit we have
had thus far. He's important, yes, I agree.
But next time, do your research before you
announce to Gator nation that their best re-
cruit so far is a kicker, and that they should
wait until next year for a top 10 recruiting
class.
Some of us are unbelievably excited
and positive about this year. Coach Meyer
and his staff, as well as Jeremy Foley and
President Machen, deserve respect and ap-
preciation for what they've done to improve
our football program.
They've come an unbelievably long way
already. Go Gators!

Professors win


fellowships in


physics group

By SKYLER SMITH
Alligator Writer
ssmith@alligator.org

Three UF professors have been recognized as fel-
lows in the American Physical Society, the world-
wide organization for physicists.
UF physicists Paul Avery and Peter Hirschfeld
and chemist Frank Harris were among the one-half
of one percent of a group of 40,000 chosen each
year to become fellows, according to the American
Physical Society.
"Three professors being named fellows in one
year is quite impressive," said Alan Dorsey, UF
physics department chairman, in a press release.
"It is certainly an indication of the quality of the
faculty and the esteem in which they are held by
their colleagues."
Of the 49 full-time members within UF's physics
department, 17 are American Physical Society fel-
lows, according to a press release.
Hirschfeld's work concerns high-temperature
superconductors and was cited for research that
helped identify D-wave pairs.
"I think it's a nice feather in the cap of the phys-
ics department," Hirschfeld said.
The department has been building a reputation
for 15 years and it is now "a player on the national
research stage," Hirschfeld added.
Harris has been teaching at UF for 20 years and
was recognized for developing computing resourc-
es for high-energy physics. He is also the director
of two chartered National Science Foundation
programs.

"If they were already registered, we left
them registered in their original party."
Julie Handa, Gainesville coordinator for
America Coming Together, a left-leaning
grassroots organization, said she notified
Hill and UF Student Activities Director
Lohse Beeland when she became suspi-
cious of YPM.


"What they were doing didn't seem
right," she said. "I wanted them (local of-
ficials) to look into it."
Ted Terry, president of the Gator
Greens, was among the students who
aired concerns about the registration drive
in October when he wrote an e-mail com-
plaining to the Attorney General's Office.
"We didn't think anything would come
of it, because it seemed like people under
Gov. Jeb Bush wouldn't take us seriously,"
Terry said.

Art exhibit opens


at Harn Museum


By JUSTIN RICHARDS
Alligator Writer

Art featured at the 40th an-
nual Art Faculty Exhibition that
opened Tuesday ran the gamut
from wetland scenery to a de-
cayed skull.
"Sleep of Reason," by Arturo
Sinclair, consists of an old am-
munition box with a gas mask
and uniform packed inside. A
decayed skull with wispy gray
hair and rosy bloodstains wears
the mask. In the eye socket, fig-
ures move about on an infrared
display as a deep, garbled voice
echoes "destruction."
Sinclair is one of 22 artists rep-
resented at the Harn Museum ex-
hibit, which runs until April 17.
Charles Mason, curator of the
show, said the exhibition is dif-
ferent from others at the museum
in that the artists were able to
select the works that would rep-
resent them.
A few of the exhibits share a
common theme of war. Others
feature the human body as the
foreground.
One piece, "Carnival


Knowledge" by Barbara Jo
Revelle, features a wall of photo-
graphs of people a naked man
wearing fairy wings, for example
- at Mardi Gras-like celebra-
tions. Painted, nude bodies grace
most of the photographs.
"It's funny," said Carrie
McGirr, a first-year art student,
"because it's abstract and unreal-
istic, but they're real people."
"It's funny because it's
(the photograph) ab-
stract and unrealistic, but
they're real people."
Carrie McGirr
UF freshman

Mason said the Ham's exhibi-
tions typically center around a
certain theme. Here, he said, the
only unifier is that the artists all
work in the same department.
Jaime Baird, a graduate stu-
dent in art history, said she liked
the way the exhibition incorpo-
rated various mediums, perspec-
tives and methodologies.
"It's nice to see the different
influences going into the training
of our students," she said.

Vox stages No Choice Memorial on Reitz Union lawn


By TRAVIS ATRIA
Alligator Contributing Writer

One hundred and sixty-seven wooden
stakes with coathangers attached to the tops
were planted in the North Lawn of the Reitz
Union on Tuesday.
This was no prank. Vox: Voices For Planned
Parenthood constructed the memorial to raise


awareness of the prevalence of unsafe abor-
tions.
According to Vox, a woman dies as a result
of an unsafe abortion every six minutes- that's
87,600 each year.
'Tuesday was the group's first No Choice
Memorial, a remembrance of the women
who have died and an effort to reduce that
number in the future by promoting educa-_


tion.
Katie Stellitano, spokeswoman for UF's
chapter of Vox, said the point
Stu det 'of the memorial was "for
n people to be able to actually
visualize how many people
die each day from unsafe
abortions all around the world."
Vox is an abortion rights group that


organizes events designed to educate stu-
dents about reproductive health.
UF's chapter has conducted a sexual edu-
cation and reproductive rights fair and HIV
testing in the Reitz Union, receiving most of
its funding from Student Government.
.Although there is a problem with unsafe
abortions in America, the rates are much
higher elsewhere, according to Vox.

First-year Gators take honors


STAFF REPORT

It was a good week for two first-year Gators.
Men's tennis freshman Greg Ouellette has been
named the Southeastern Conference Player of the
Week and thrower Liz Wanless was named SEC Field
Athlete of the Week, the league office announced
Tuesday.
Ouellette becomes the first freshman in the his-
tory of the UF program to earn the award. He joins
Hamid Mirzadeh (April 5, 2004), Jeff Morrison
(Feb. 29, 2000 and April 11, 2000) and Justin O'Neal
(March 28, 2000) as the fourth Gators player to gain
the honor.
The UF newcomer, ranked 47th in the nation,
helped the Gators to a 7-0 shutout of UCF in the
2005 dual match season opener. Ouellette played on
the No. 3 singles court, where he defeated UCF's
Sebastian Delgado (6-1, 6-2) in just over an hour.
Wanless, in her first year competing for the
Gators, has already claimed three shot put titles in
just four events this season. Her most recent victory
came Saturday at the Clemson Invitational, where
Wariless posted an NCAA automatic 'qualifying
mark of 17.18m. Wanless is a transfer from Division-
III Bates College, where she was a NCAA champion
in the shot put as well as an All-American in vol-
leyball.


NOT JUST UF: The Santa Fe Community College
men's basketball team remained the No. 1 junior col-
lege team in the state while jumping to No. 4 in the
latest poll by the National Junior College Athletics
Association.
The Saints (20-0, 2-0 Mid-Florida Conference),
coming off a 85-77 win over Central Florida CC last
Wednesday, received one first-place vote in the na-
tional poll.
"I'm very proud of our guys and happy that
our program is earn-
Santa Fe ing recognition on the
Community College national level," Coach
Chris Mowry said.
"Hopefully we can continue to play at this level
and keep this program in a position to achieve some
great things."
The Saints will put their perfect record and 20-game
winning streak on the line tonight when Daytona
Beach CC comes to Gainesville for a double-header at
the SFCC gym. The Saints are one win away from ty-
ing the program record of 21 consecutive wins set by
the 1995-96 Saints, who reached No. 6 nationally.
The women's game will tip off at 6 p.m., with the
men slated to take to the court at 8. Admission is
$2 for the general public and $1 for senior citizens
and children under 12. Faculty, staff and students of
SFCC are admitted free with a valid ID.

that the old regime was on, and going out and recruiting ,.
kids at critical need positions, like at linebacker. And [the
staff is] showing them that they can step in right away and
make an impact."
Meyer will appear on Sunshine Network's Countdown to
Signing Day show tonight at 6:30. He will talk about recruit-
ing strategies, and possibly make a push at some of the big-
name targets still left on UF's recruiting board.
Antone Smith, ranked the No. 1 running back in the na- -
tion by Scout.com, visited Gainesville this past weekend but
remains quiet as to where he will sign. Smith, who is also
scheduled to appear on the show, is expected to receive an in-
home visit from UF's coaching staff this week before visiting
FSU this weekend.
"Antone is the most explosive player in -the country and
is a legitimate 4.3 speed guy," Newberg said. "He isn't a big
back, but neither was Barry Sanders, and I see shades of Barry
in the way Antone runs with such speed."
The 5-foot-8, 185-pound back from Pahokee won this
year's Mr. Florida Football award, given to the state's top
talent. Previously, Smith has called former Gators running
back Emmitt Smith his idol, and may be a perfect fit for the
halfback position in Meyer's offense.

Morehead proves to be a valuable Gators asset


* THE SENIOR HAS REBOUNDED
FROM HER EARLY-SEASON INJURIES.

By MICHAEL MAURINO
Alligator Writer
mmaurino@alligator.org

Last year, she was UF's secret weapon.
Plucked from the junior college ranks, she
came to the Gators as an unknown asset.
This year, she was to be a powerful piece of
a team. that is primed for a second consecutive
run to the NCAA Tournament.
Senior Tashia Morehead started this season
as a versatile player with outside range and
the strength to get points inside. Though she is.
still that type of player, Morehead's path this
season has been plagued by injuries.
After starting the first game of the season,
Morehead played limited minutes due to a
strained right quadriceps and a sprained ankle.
Now at full strength, Morehead has started all


five of UF's Southeastern Conference games,
averaging nine points and five rebounds in
conference play.
Coach Carolyn Peck said that Morehead
has had an "uphill battle" coming back from
the injuries but said Morehead will be key to
UF success in the conference.
"We're going to challenge Tashia to play
even tougher than she already has," Peck said.
"It's going to be important as we continue
through the rest of the SEC."
Morehead said she appreciates the-confi-
dence the team has in her and the pressure
that comes with it.
"It makes me feel responsible for getting
the job done," she said. "I might sound crazy,
but that kind of pressure I just feed off of."
Prior to joining the Gators, Morehead
played at Panama City's Gulf Coast
Community College. In her two seasons,
her team went 70-1, capturing the 2003
National Junior College Athletic Association


Championship. Morehead averaged 23 points
and 9.6 rebounds per game at Gulf Coast.
A first-team junior college All-American
two consecutive years, Morehead says she
has carried the work ethic she learned in ju-
nior college to Gainesville.
"At JUCO we worked
every day," she said. "And
I'think that just rubbed off
and came here. Once [my
S UF teammates] saw me do-
ing it and some of the other
i players doing it with me, it
Morehead was just a contagious thing
and everybody started
working."
Peck said Morehead, a lifelong Gators fan,
is a leader and takes pride in her play.
"Tashia has always been a Gator in her
mind and she takes a lot of pride in being
one," Peck said. "She plays hard for her team,
Sand in everything she does it's never about


her, but what she can do to help this team
win."
Morehead started all 30 games of UF's
surprising 2003-04 season that ended in the
second round of the NCAA Tournament.
She was the team's third-leading scorer
with 12 points a game,,and also third with
5.7 rebounds a game. In addition, Morehead
showed another facet of her game by leading
the team with 38 three-pointers.
Guard Tamia Williams has been asked to
step in for injured players this season. The
senior said Morehead is a determined player
who leads by example. She also said that
Morehead is finally playing up to her ability
and doing a good job of it.
"She's handled it very well. She's coming
back into herself," Williams said. "I know
she has a lot of expectations for herself. But I
think she's doing pretty good. And I'm glad
she is starting to find her flow and get back
into the game."


GYMNASTICS

Freshman brings all-around success to UF program


By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer
dtreat@alligator.org

Sacrifice, dedication and com-
mitment.
All three of these words can be
used to describe any athlete compet-
ing at an elite level. But not many of
them had to make the decision UF
freshman Ashley Reed faced after
her sophomore year of high school.
Reed had two choices: stay at her
family's Davie home and likely lose
out on a college scholarship, or go to
Orlando to chase the dream, leaving
her friends and school behind.
She chose the latter.
'"-moved to Orlando to improve
my gymnastics," she said. "The
gyms down where I lived in Fort
Lauderdale weren't that good. In or-


der to get better and to get a scholar-
ship, I had to go to a better gym."
What made the move especially
trying was that Reed's mother went
to Orlando with her, while her father
stayed at home.
"It was difficult for my family,"
she said. "Mostly because my dad
and my mom had to be separated.
We did go down and visit my dad
every weekend."
Upon arrival, she joined the
Orlando Metro Gymnastics team,
which has produced current team-
mate Tiffany Murry and former UF
All-American Chrissy Van Fleet.
She also attracted the attention of
numerous big-name programs.
"Recruiting was interesting
with Ashley," UF coach Rhonda
Faehn said. "There were so many
top schools that were interested


and wanted her to take visits there.
She had already done her research
and knew what she wanted, so she
turned the majority of the schools
down for even taking a visit."
"My parents said that
[moving] was the best
decision we ever made,
because it made my future
a lot brighter."
Ashley Reed
UF Freshman

Reed visited UF and Louisiana
State, but signed with the Gators.
"I really liked the coaches and the
team," she said. "I love the weather
here and I live cose to here, and my
brother goes here, too."


As a heavily-recruited prospect,
Reed faced an enormous amount
of pressure in Gainesville. She lived
up to the hype before the season
even began, scoring a 39.275 to win
the all-around during an intrasquad
meet in mid-December.
"We knew right from the start
about her potential," Faehn said.
"Everything is so polished, and
that's a little bit unusual for a fresh-
man. She was definitely geared
toward [the all-around] from the
start."
Her performance has carried
over into the early part of her fresh-
man season, where she has com-
peted in the all-around in all three
competitions this season. Her high
score, 38.575, came against the other
school that recruited her LSU.
"I didn't expect [to be contribut-


ing so much so soon]," Reed said.
Despite her love of gymnastics,
Reed doesn't think that she wants to
be a coach. In fact, figuring out what
she wants to do is her No. 1 goal.
"My goal is to definitely keep my
grades up," she said. "And to get
into a field that I want to for a career.
Pretty much figure out what I want
to do with the rest of my life."
Wherever she goes and whatever
she does, Reed will always look at
her parents as the reason.
"My parents always told me to
be determined and never let me
give up on myself," she said. "They
taught me to be dedicated to the
sport and my school.
"My parents said that [moving]
was the best decision we ever made,
because it made my future a lot
brighter."

By FARZAD SAFI
Alligator Writer
fsafi@alligator.org

One undefeated team had abso-
lutely no shot at winning a national
championship.
Another team without a blemish
on its record watched the Orange
Bowl from home.
Welcome to the. current state of
college football, where a computer
can determine which team walks
away king of the NCAA.
In theory and in every other
sport, both in college and in the pro-
fessional leagues the best team
in the nation becomes evident and
the season's end becomes just that:
the end.
But thanks to the Bowl
Championship Series, often ref-
fered to as "the BC-Mess" once the
bowl games are over, the real work
begins.
This year was no exception.
Four teams went undefeated.
Only two had an opportunity to
play for the national championship.
Once again, the national title
game left some fans unconvinced
that the best team in the nation
played for the title.
Auburn and Utah two teams
rarely discussed in the preseasph
- achieved just about everything a
team can achieve.
Both teams, however, had to deal
with the reality of finishing a season
without a loss and without a shot at
the title.
In only one sport can such an
event occur, and demand for change
in college football exists unlike in
any other.

Controversial computers
"The BCS was an attempt to
match the top two-rated teams at a
bowl location at season's end with-
out extending the length of the sea-
son," current BCS chairman Kevin
Weiberg said.
That may have been the intent,
but there hasn't been a college


WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 2005 ALLIGATOR, 23



UNFAIR TO THE UNDEFEATED


football season that ended without
controversy since 1999.
The problem is that more than
two teams can finish undefeated,
but the BCS hosts just one champi-
onship game.
Out of four undefeated teams,
only Oklahoma and USC played for
the national championship. A play-
off could have paired Auburn with
USC after the Trojans crushed the
Sooners in the Orange Bowl.
"One more game wouldn't hurt
this year; it would almost solve
all our problems," .Auburn coach
Tommy Tuberville told the South
Florida Sun-Sentinel. "I've heard
other coaches say it wouldn't work,
but they're not standing in my
shoes."

Just one more game
Whether one is for or against the
BCS, there is no denying a single fact'
- in its seven-year existence, there
have been three years where the
system left many unhappy.
Since its inception, the BCS has
been "tweaked" almost every year
to try and correct ills.
Utah, a member of the Mountain
West Conference, went undefeated
this past season under the "guidance
of new UF coach Urban Meyer. Utah
proved that a team does not have to
belong to a powerhouse conference
to be considered among the nation's
best.
Utah became the first non-BCS
conference team to play in a major
bowl game-- but it was in the Fiesta
Bowl against Pittsburgh. The Orange
Bowl was out of the question.
The most popular prescription
for the situation is to simply replace
the BCS with a playoff system.
The reasoning would be that
teams on the field would decide
who is truly No. 1, instead of writ-
ers and computers determining a
champion.
Playoffs would satisfy many, but
minor tweaks are more likely.

Let the BCS live?


"The bowls are good for college
football," UF Athletics Director
Jeremy Foley said. "People forget
that these games are for the players.
?er~s..iaillI. I bh'". e' anything that
hurt-s would be bad '
Those opposed to a playoff sys-
tem cite that a postseason playoff
is unnecessary because the regular
season in college football is in es-
sence a playoff.
"Playoffs are so far down the
road," Foley said. "It might hurt the
bowl system, and I think maybe we
just need to tweak them."

Not until 2010
Although there are more ques-
tions than answers when it comes
to the future of college football, one
thing is certain: the BCS is not going
anywhere soon.


Bowl fairness controversy continues



The BCS recently agreed to a
new television contract extension
through 2010 for the networks to
broadcast the current bowl games.
Still, some critics believe a playoff
is possible.
"You can keep and incorporate
the bowl games while still ensuring
we get a consensus national cham-
pionship matchup," AM 850 radio
host Steve Russell said.
However, those running the
show have dismissed this idea.
"I really do not see an NFL-style
playoff coming to college football
any time soon," Weiberg said.
S One compromise being floated is
Sa plus-one system.
Starting in 2006, one additional
bowl- will be added to the BCS
lineup, making a total of five BCS
bowl games. However, it is unclear
whether this will be a true playoff
game or merely an additional bowl

game.
"Do we need to have one more
game or to tweak how teams are
selected?" Foley said. "Yes, but the
current bowl system is good." *
Auburn should be most pas-
sionately against the BCS. However,
even the Tigers are taking a politi-
cally correct stance.
"I think it is a relatively good
system," Auburn Athletics Director
Jay Jacobs said. "The BCS was cre-
ated to solve a problem and italwyost
has. However, the last two years, if
we had that one additional game, it
would have cleared up a lot.
"I believe in keeping the bowl
system intact, but having one addi-
tional game would be a wonderful
opportunity for college athletics.
With the current bowl system and
with one more game, you will have
a true national champion and that
will be it."

Six scholarship players, nine
freshmen and two seniors filled
Georgia's ranks as the Bulldogs took
the O'Connell Center floor Tuesday
night.
Not surprisingly, that lineup
earned Georgia its lowest shot-clock-
era point total against one of its
fiercest rivals as the Gators (12-4, 4-1
Southeastern Conference) defeated
the Bulldogs, 70-47.
For UF, however, its opponent's
probation-depleted lineup paled in
comparison to the need to rebound
from a disappointing home loss to
Tennessee.
Men's Basketball "I knew their
Georgia 47 situations with
F 70 the walk-ons and
stuff," said junior
guard Anthony
Roberson. "But
what matters is that we got a confer-
ence win at home."
Led by Roberson and sophomore
Lee Humphrey, the Gators exhibited
that no-mercy, must-win mentality
early on, as UF's starting backcourt
plJers combined for two consecutive
3-pointers. Senior forward David Lee
followed with a layup to complete a
game-opening 8-0 UF run.
"It felt good how we started the
game off and jumped all over them,"
Roberson said. "I think Georgia is a
team that wants a win in this league,
so we couldn't really come into the
game and overlook them at all."
Led by Roberson once again, the
Gators mounted a 9-2 run to take a
32-15 halftime lead.
During that streak, Roberson split
three Georgia defenders, spinning
through the lane for a layup. With 23
seconds remaining, Roberson capped
the UF scoring surge, sinking one of
his three first-half 3-pointers.
Roberson, who totaled 90 points
in his three previous games, finished
with a game-high 18. Freshman
forward Al Horford had 10 and tied
with Lee for a team-high seven re-
bounds. Junior guard Matt Walsh,
in his second game back from a high
ankle sprain, scored nine points in 24
minutes.

But while the Gators trotted to the
locker room with a 17-point halftime
lead, it was the UF defense that im-
pressed Coach Billy Donovan. His
team held Georgia to a season-low 15
first-half points.
"I think it's hard to hold a team
in our league to 15 points in a half,"
Donovan said. "And I attribute that
to how we grinded it out in the first
half."
Without the 16.3-points-per-game
average of leading scorer Levi Stukes,
Georgia converted 30.4 percent of
its first-half shots. This followed the
Bulldogs' season-high 61-percent
mark during the second half of their
win against Vanderbilt.

a one-game suspension for violating
team rules.
"Levi actually practiced yesterday
and looked great," Georgia coach
Dennis Felton said. "He's back at 100
percent, but we decided to leave him
at home because of team rules."
With its limited lineup, Georgia
utilized, a slow, physical style that
resulted in a second-half foul fest, as
both teams reached the bonus in less
than eight minutes and combined for
29 fouls in the period.
"They were trying to make the
game ugly," Walsh said. "They were

Hated Walsh key


to Gators'


success


Matt Walsh is the only person in the world
who can make Carrot Top look sexy and
make Evel Knievel seem lame. Walsh is
the only player in his conference who can make
'both the All-SEC team and the All-Hatred Team.
Tuesday night, in what was a mostly meaningless
game against Georgia, Walsh proved that he provides
what no one else can offer. During the first half, he
dove after a loose ball, got smashed in the face by
Georgia's Tommy Wainscott and then dove into the
scrum yet again for the basketball.
"Whether he has a broken leg- or he's healthy, he
gives you that diving, that hustle, that energy, that
fight, that toughness," Coach Billy Donovan said.
It was Walsh's second
game back from torn
tendons in his left ankle
and he's played the Mr.
SKamikaze role to an Oscar-
deserving level. Last March,
he took on Manhattan with-
Louis out half of the skin on his
Anastasis right foot. That's like driving
Louis in the Bullpen your car with a ripped tim-
lanastasis@alligator.org ing belt or coasting down
the Autobahn on nothing
but rims.
"That's what makes ,him such a great player,"
girlfriend Lauren Anderson said. "He's willing to
sacrifice his body."
Lauren the July 2002 Playmate of the Month,
mind you will be the first to attest to Walsh having
ligaments tougher than the Terminator and gonads
heavier than the Chinese guy at Tiananmen Square.
And maybe-she helps explain Walsh's miraculous -
three-week recovery from a bum left ankle. Who
wouldn't feel better going home with Lauren every
night?
But Anderson can't go with Walsh everywhere.
She makes nearly every home game, with her 100-
watt blonde hair and a, well, model body, but she
can't watch Matt on the road. He won't let her.
Walsh doesn't want her to see people ridicule him
with chants like, "Walsh is gay." You can thank the
Cocks in South Carolina for that.
"He's afraid some jerk is going to make a rude
comment, and with me being really defensive, that
wouldn't be good," Anderson said.
But why the animosity?
Walsh is hated because Walsh cares. His team-
mates know this, and they have to catch his disease if
they want to taste any Sweet-16 nectar in 2005.
"A lot of people have written Florida off,"
Anderson said. "I think that's what gets him going."
Walsh's best asset is spirit, his portfolio is passion
and he's invested everything he's got. You can toast
to his injuries with a keg of Haterade. You can argue
Anthony Roberson is a purer shooter. You could even
approach him with a pair of scissors.
His teammates would just ask you to keep them
away from his family jewels.

Attorney closes voter fraud case E THE STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE COULD NOT FIND ENOUGH EVIDENCE. By MEGAN SEERY Alligator Staff Writer mseery@alligator.org Local authorities recently closed an investigation into alleged voter fraud against UF students before the 2004 general election, after evidence proved insufficient for prosecution. "No charges will be filed against anyone," State Attorney's Office spokesman Spencer Mann said. "There was not enough evidence to establish the identification of a subject." The investigation began inOctober when then-Alachua County Supervisor of Elections Beverly Hill fdrwarced to the state attorney about 500 primarily student voter registration forms after she questioned their validity. An inordinate number of forms requested a change in patty affiliation, and most registrants "emphatically" denied they asked to change parties, Hill said at the time. Several students alleged that Young Political Majors LLC, whose voter drive was sponsored by the Republican Party, tricked students ,into changing their affiliations with a fake petition. Investigators randomly called about 200 of the 500 registrants in question, Mann said. "There were numerous people involved in the registrations, and none of them could be identified by the peoarpenter ple who signed the forms," he said. "There was no particular way to establish who offered the registration form." Also, registrants take some responsibility when they sign the forms, making it difficult to prove that wrongdoing occurred, he said. "People signed forms where there was a disclaimer that said all the information is virtually true and SEE YPM, PAGE 10 FOOTBALL Meyer continues to boost UF's recruiting rankings By ERIC ESTEBAN Alligator Writer eesteban@alligator.org Coach Urban Meyer's calling card has been doing the unthinkable. With Bowling Green and Utah already under his belt, Meyer has made his first imprint on the Gators via the recruiting world by doing what analysts said couldn't be done. In less than a month's time, Meyer has inched up the Scout.com'recruiting rankings to No. 17, three spots behind Miami and 11 spots ahead of No. 28 Florida State. "I've said in the past that wherever there is a coaching change, recruiting will always be a struggle," said Jamie Newberg, Scout.com's national recruiting analyst. "Having said that, it is pretty evident that Meyer and staff are going to be the first to disprove my philosophy." When former head coach Ron Zook hit the recruiting trail in his first year, he was able to net current NFL-bound Gators Ciatrick Fason and Channing Crowder. However, that class still finished outside of the top-10. "The most important thing right nowis that Meyer is finding a way to fulfill his team needs with quality players," Newberg said. "If he continues at this pace, the. Gators have a definite shot of finishing with a top10 recruiting class." "I've said in the past that wherever there is a coaching change, recruiting will always be a struggle,. having said that it is pretty evident that Meyer and staff are going to be the first to disprove my philosophy." Jamie Newberg national recruiting analyst for Scout.com This past weekend, the'Gators landed five oral commitments -four recruits from the Sunshine State and one froni Texas. While Meyer has been making a point of planting his recruiting flag in talent-rich Florida, what is most impressive is that all four had previously pledged to another school. "Him landing those five guys is huge, because now they have momentum heading into the last weekend of recruiting," Newberg said. "More importantly, they are all impact guys that he has taken away from other schools." Meyer and his new staff have employed a three-pronged strategy to tackling the recruiting season in a limited amount of time: -"They are recruiting kids the coaches already had relationships with while at Utah," Newberg said.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 3 f InaEl s may& IY conf i m th is prin M STUDENTS ARE FORCED TO CHOOSE BETWEEN PRIORITIES. By LAURA JONES Alligator Contributing Writer This semester's final exam and commencement schedule at UF might leave some students choosing between celebrating a religious holiday and taking a final or participating in commencement. This year, the Jewish holiday of Passover begins on the night of April 23 and ends on April 30. Most finals and commencements, also fall on these dates. "Passover is considered one of the most important holidays," said Ari Kaiman, UF Jewish Student Union president. "It represents thb liberation of the Jewish people from enslavement. This is a very important theme throughout Judaism." University Ombudsman Tommie Howard said no one has come to him yet with complaints about the issue. "My feeling is that 100 percent of our faculty members are sensitive to the date in question, so they are willing to work with the students," Howard said. Students with a conflict Student should contact their professors, L he said. If any student feels adversely affected by a university policy, however, that student should come to his offic6 to speak with him about the matter. UF economics professor Mark Rush has already been confronted by several of his students concerning this issue. His'inicroeconomics final is on the first night of Passover, traditionally the most important night of the holiday, Rush said. "I think there has to be some resolution," he said. "It's not acceptable." After the conflict was brought to his attention, he posted an e-mail explaining the situation and discussed it in class, Rush said. He assured his students he is trying to work out an alternative date with the registrar. Kaiman said, "I don't think the university would ever intentionally schedule something on a Jewish holiday to spite Jewish students, but I do think that it is a very unfortunate situation for the Jewish students." Kaiunan said that although UF has one of the largest Jewish student populations of the southeastern public universities, he accepts that UF has no obligation to change for the Jewish student population. "We will not be making any official complaints or lodges because the university has already made its decision," he said. UF has been aware of the scheduling conflict for a while but has done nothing about it, Kaiman said. Howard said the policy of the university is to create the schedule for both finals and commencement years in advance. Kaiman said he is most concerned about the conflict with commencement because there are no alternative dates for it. For those who cannot go home for Passover or who have family coming to town during the holiday for commencement, Kaiman said Hillel will offer kosher Passover meals, and the staff would be happy to accommodate. GREEK LIFE Greek average GPAs dip slightly in 2004 IFC wins regional GPA excellence award By KYLIE CRAIG Alligator Writer kcraig@alligator.org Fraternities and sororities at UF reported a decrease in their overall GPAs from last Spring, but not by much. According to Fall 2004 semester reports, the all-sorority average GPA was 3.307, a decrease from the Spring GPA of 3.326. The all fraternity average GPA rounded out at 2.918, also a decrease from a Spring average of 3.058. Fraternities win GPA award Even with the decrease, the UF fraternity system received the Gamma Sigma Alpha Southeastern U.S. Regional GPA Award for academic excellence in December. "We have worked very hard over the last year to implement academic programming to give as much support as possible to members as they pursue their scholastic goals," IFC President John Dicks stated in a recent release. The award was calculated by comparing the fraternity's GPAs to the all-men's average at UP. It included the GPAs of the Interfraternity Council, Multicultural Greek Council and National Panhellenic Council. According to the release, UF's fraternity averages beat out non-Greek UF males by .05 percent. Of the 32 fraternities, IFC member Alpha Epsilon Pi boasted the highest Fall GPA average at 3.428. "Academics is one of the reasons we're here," Alpha Epsilon Pi president Danny Miller said. "We focus more on a fraternity of well-rounded brotherhood." Miller said he also noticed a smarter breed of kids coming through the fraternity because of increasing academic standards at UP. Sororities also recognized At the top of the sorority GPA rankings was Panhellenic Council member Alpha Epsilon Phi, with a GPA of 3.532. Both Alpha Epsilon Pi and Alpha Epsilon. Phi were recognized with academic excellence awards for their GPAs. Of the four Greek councils at UF, the Panhellenic Council had the highest GPA average, followed in rank by the IFC, the Multicultural Greek Council, and finally the National Panhellenic Council. The Panhellenic Council's average GPA topped the other councils with a 3.301, reports from the Dean of Student's Office show. Reports also show the National PanHellenic Council fraternities and sororities ranked the lowest of all council GPAs at 2.568. The rankings haven't changed since .2003 when the PC held the highest avergae GPA of the councils and the NPHC held the lowest. The fraternity with the lowest average GPA from the four councils is NPHC member Omega Psi Phi, with a 1.640. The sorority with the -lowest average GPA is Kappa Phi Lambda, a new associate member of the MGC. Officers of the Panhellenic, Multicultural Greek and National Pan-Hellenic Councils could not be reached for comment on this report.

"A promise made is gonna be a promise kept," he said. With legislative slating still more than two weeks away, Progress leaders are encouraging students to get involved and turn in applications for Senate positions.

STUDENT LIFE Studlnts!-M, oVer rwdaed at UF gypyfr 1f-59P&ness By HEATHER BERGER Alligator Writer As the new year brings new resolutions to lose weight, students are questioning whether UF's fitness centers are up to the task. Overcrowding at these centers is becoming an inconvenience for many, leading students to join private facilities around Gainesville.

"I don'twant to spend the money, but I need to be able to use a gym when it's convenient for me," Cooper said. UF fitness center employees also recognize the popularity of becoming physically fit for the new year. "There's always an influx of people every January who want to head back to the gym as their New Year's resolution," said Jessica McIntire, Southwest Recreation Center building supervisor. "The overcrowding becomes a serious issue that students are unhappy about." Private fitness facilities in Gainesville are providing solutions to this problem, and more students are taking advantage of them. Sheila -McGrady, director of public relations for the Gainesville Health & Fitness Center, said students should be able to exercise when it's convenient for them, not when it's convenient for the gym. "When you're a student, sometimes you can't get into a gym during regular gym hours," McGrady said. "GHFC is a 24-hour facility, which means that you can always get a workout in, and the crowds won't be huge." "GHFC is a 24-hour facility, which means that you can always get a workout in, and the crowds won't be huge." Sheila McGrady Gainesville Health & Fitness Center director of public relations Although students have complained abouf overcrowding at the UF fitness centers, there are no plans for expansion in the near future. "I don't think anything is being done right now," said McIntire. "Southwest Rec was just expanded four years ago." Without plans for expansion, students are faced with a choice to stay loyal to the UF fitness centers while hoping for improvement or to spend money to stay in shape. Despite broken resolutions that come with January's end, Cooper does not see a change for the UF facilities anytime soon. "You know, right now it's New Year's resolutions," Cooper said.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 5 COUNTY COMMISSION BurucAdtiu error 1eads0 to Payne's Prairie trouble By STEVE SPECHT Alligator Writer sspecht@alligator.org A mistake made in 1991 came out in Tuesday's Alachua County Commission meeting. The commission deferred a decision as to what action should be taken regarding a mislabeling of multiple areas of privately owned properties surrounding Payne's Prairie State Preserve as preservation areas rather than conservation areas, a label reserved only for public land. Debate continued for three hours because a private owner of 25 acres of the disputed land wanted to have the label on 9.93 acres changed so the land could be used for private use. Conservation lands still have strict guidelines as to what can be built on them. The land in question is east of U.S. 441 on Williston Road. Landowners Caroline Henderson and Constance Holloway are looking to sell their 9.93 DeLaney acres to Ludivine Kail and her partners, who plan to construct a recreational area much like the ropes courses at Lake Wauburg. "It's in the trees -no man-made structures," Kail said. Changing the designation of only 9.93 acres would prevent the area from being used for residential structures because housing on conservation areas requires at least 10 acres, County Attorney David Wagner said, with a only a single unit allowed per 10 acres. "Any other use that may be more intense is not allowed," Wagner said. Commissioner Paula DeLaney expressed concern about dividing up the land's designation. "Why are we carving out one little piece when all of these are supposed to be -conservation?" DeLaney said. In spite of the commission implying it could not legally deny Henderson and Holloway's request to change the designation, more than a dozen citizens, including Cate Miller, asked the county not to fix a mistake benefiting the preserve. "Someone said, 'I made a mistake in 1991 and crayoned in something blue as a preserve.' It's never a mistake to preserve," Miller said. Another resident, James Ross, brought up the option of the state or county purchasing the property to add to the preserve. When Commissioner Cynthia Chestnut asked if Ross would would spearhead the effort, he agreed. Lesban couple tells students of their fi-ght for rights M RUTH AND CONNIE MET OVER 40 YEARS AGO. By LINDSAY TAULBEE Alligator Writer itaulbee@alligator.org Like many couples, Ruthie and Connie finish each other's sentences. They interrupt one another. They bicker. But in many ways, Ruthie and Connie are not like other couples. Ruth Berman and Connie Kurtz spoke in the Reitz Union to an audience of about 70 Tuesday about their experiences and their activism as a lesbian couple. The event, sponsored by the Pride Student Union, the Jewish Student Union and UF Hillel, also featured a screening of the awardwinning film "Ruthie and Connie: Every Room in the House," documenting the couple's experiences. The duo met in Brooklyn in 1959 when they were both young and married with children. In 1974, they realized they were in love and left their husbands. They moved in together, though at first they denied to their families they were romantically involved. They tell in the film how they placed separate nameplates on separate bedroom doors to keep Ruth Berman and Connie Kurtz share a laugh with each other prior to the screening of their movie "Ruth and Connie: Every Room in the House," Tuesday night in the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom. their children from thinking they were sleeping together. "This represents, in a huge way, the closet--of what someone would go through to put out a lie," Berman said. The film also included a clip of the pair's appearance on Phil Donahue's show in 1988. At the time they were suing the New York Board of Education because Kurtz could not get the benefits normally entitled to the spouse of an educator. "The laws are against me. I refuse to keep quiet," Berman firmly said in the video clip, drawing applause from the Reitz Union audience. In 1994, with two other coupies, they won the lawsuit, winning medical and dental benefits for gay and lesbian partners of all New York City employees. After the film, the On two took questions C:-lH, from the audience. "We seemed to have touched many people's lives," Kurtz said. "Your response says that you also agree." She stressed the importance of being an outspoken activist, and the need to acknowledge her relationship with Berman. "We are a loving couple in every room of the house," she said. Currently, the two,. along with nine other couples, are involved in a Florida lawsuit to obtain marriage licenses. "I'm entitled, I demand and I'm willing to challenge the democracy I hold so dearly," Kurtz said. They also distinguished between legal and religious marriage, saying that they want the legal benefits that come along with a legal marriage. "We're not talking about diluting family values. We just ask to be included in family values," Kurtz said. UF professors: Carson's legacy is comedy and tolerance Late-night king became a bridge to newer comic acts By LINDSAY TAULBEE Alligator Writer Itaulbee@alligator.org Former "Tonight Show" host Johnny Carson will be remembered for influencing future comedians, helping smooth the rocky race relations of his time and serving as a bridge to modern comedy, selected UF instructors said after his death. Kenneth Kidd, an associate English professor who teaches media studies at UF, said Carson served as a bridge between some of the more "genteel" figures of past variety shows and the "post-modern" style of his successors. Of the late-night hosts on television today, some more than others retain a traditional feel reminiscent of Carson's, Kidd said. "I think (Jay) Leno probably comes the closest," he said. He noted that Leno, Carson's successor, seems less cynical than his counterparts, such as David Letterman, whereas hosts like Craig Kilborn represent the opposite end of the spectrum, he said. Kidd also commented that "The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart was unique because the comic expressed his opinions more than most. "I think he's by far the most politicAlly outspoken," he said of Stewart. However, some say Carson, not known for strong political opinions, had his own role in influencing the day's public opinion. Herb Press, a former chief of photography for UP News and Public Affairs, studied Carson's monologues for his master's thesis in 1982. He analyzed more than 500 jokes from Carson's monologues spanning four months, seeking a correlation between the host's quips and recorded public opinion. Press said he did riot find a "so-called empirical conclusion." However, based on the available information, Carson's monologues appeared to keep issues in the headlines longer, Press said. "In terms of politics, he reinforces a lot of what people believe, and he can amplify issues and controversies in the news," he said. Press said he was not surprised to hear of Carson's death. "What did surprise me was the abundance of coverage," he said, comparing the all-day news saturation to that following a president's death. Once he digested what happened, he realized what an impact Carson had made on people and the significance of Carson's 30 years on the air. "It (Carson's tenure) was quite rare. It will probably never happen again," he said. David Hedge, a UF political science professor, said that although Carson probably had some influence on public opinion, he had a bigger effect on race relations. He said he remembered being impressed by Carson's tolerance, something which Hedge said always existed on the "Tonight Show."

6, ALLIGATOR 1 WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 2005 Rice right Senate should confirm secretary of state choice Condoleezza Rice has proven to be a controverisal choice for secretary of state, as supporters praise her experience and personality while dissenters attack her closeness to President Bush and the handling of the war in Iraq. After heated debate, however, the Alligator editorial board feels she is the right person for the job. Her tenure as Bush's national security adviser has both given her valuable experience and placed her firmly in the president's trust. In addition, her personable nature and dedication well suit her for a position that would require her to interact with widely different people but assert her own beliefs when necessary. Opponents argue she would not be effective because they feel she is little more than a Bush lapdog. While it is true she must demonstrate that she is willing to stand up to the administration when she feels it is wrong, her close relationship with Bush bodes well. for the cohesiveness of U.S. foreign policy. Rice's tendency to agree with Bush likely stems not from a tendency to defer to him, but because she shares his same ideals. Because of Bush's reliance on Rice as a confidant, she should have more success in convincing him to reconsider his stance when they conflict than exiting Secretary of State Colin Powell. Furthermore, foreign dignitaries viewing her as someone in Bush's "iner circle" would get more of a sense that they were essentially speaking directly to the president-a factor missing with Powell, who often was seen as far-removed from the core of the administration. Her opponent's other key contention is that her participation in the administration's decision to invade Iraq and her ensuing statements concerning weapons of mass destruction show that she is unfitfor office. Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut said it best in response when he stated his belief that Rice should be considered based on her qualifications for the position and her ability to serve in the national interest, rather than on personal judgements of each one of her actions. And despite criticism, Rice has overwhelming supportfrom both Democratic and Republican legislators. She won the endorsement from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last week by a vote of 16-2, including approval from six of the committee's eight Democrats. Even Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, a dissenter of her appointment, agreed Rice's qualifications were not in question. This support shows another one of her strengths as a politician -her ability to appeal to a wide number of interests because of her professionalism and demonstrated capability. However, dissenters should not be begrudged their right to protest the choice. Though Rice's appointment seems imminent, the opposition of some Democrats demonstrates they will not simply comply with the wishes of the majority -a message that helps to refute the perception that Democrats in this term will not provide a capable foil to the Republican majority. In the end, we believe Rice will be successful in the job because of her record of achievement and her ability to win people over with her personable and knowledgable nature. Though controversial, Rice's appointment would be a step in the right direction for U.S. foreign policy. tiindependent floida alli g ator Dwayne Robinson Matt Sanchez EDITOR OPINIONS EDITOR Mike Girnignani Lauren Flanagan MANAGING EDITOR Diana Middleton Craig Singleton EDITORIAL BOARD The Allgator encourages comments from readers.

Available from Commercial News Providers" a r G ust colu mnf Fraternity council f he Interfraternity Council does not "condone" rape and sexual assault. IFC detests rape and sexual assault just as much as any women's organization and regularly schedules programming and speakers to talk about-this serious issue-. Each-semester, IFC educates 500 to 600 new members about sexual-assault. This is a large group of men we hope Campus National Organization for Women and other groups will use as a group to educate instead of assessing blame. January is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and campus organizations such as Acting Against Rape Every Student's Taskforce, the Panhellenic Council, Campus NOW, the Center for Sexual Assault/Abuse Recovery and Education and others have put on many educational programs to prevent sexual assault. IFC has supported all of these organizations in putting on these events and does so 12 months a year. There should not be a debate about the issues of sexual assault and rape. These occurrences are problems -but they are problems everywhere: in dorms, bars and fraternity houses at the University of Florida, at other universities around the country and in all of the cities in all of the world. They are problems that need to be discussed not only in the month of January but all 365 days of the year. IFC looks forward to working with Campus NOW, AAREST, the Panhellenic Council and other campus organizations to address this problem together. Rape and sexual assault unfortunately do occur in the fraternity lifestyle, and it is a problem that IFC confronts. It is our hope that we can work toward a solution together to educate, ameliorate and liberate our organizations, and the campus at large, of this crime. IFC continually has taken proactive steps to educate ights against rape our men and protect women at our social events. A new policy, just enacted this semester, states that only drinks in sealed containers will be served at functions at fraternity houses, in order to prevent the use of date-rape drugs. Just last week, IFC worked with AAREST and CARE as partners for Mike Domitrz's presentation titled "Can I Kiss You? Dating, Communication, Respect & Sexual Assault Awareness." It was part of the new member education process for all 24 chapters, John Dicks and IFC men made up a large part Jeremy Martin of the audience. Speaking Out IFC does not put the burden on women to avoid rape and requires our members to live up to the standard that we took as an oath of brotherhood. That oath is one of respect, integrity and character that we strive to live by every day. IFC does take a proactive stance towards preventing rape and sexual assault, but it is not enough. There is a national problem when 10 percent of on-campus sexual assaults occur'at fraternity houses, according to "Sexual Victimization of College Women," a report published by the U.S. Department of Justice in December 2000. It is also a problem within the fraternity system at UP, even though IFC actively irorks to prevent sexual assault. I Sexual assault also is a problem outside of fraternity houses, where 90 percent of on-campus sexual assault occurs. It is a campus-wide problem that requires a campuswide effort. IFC looks forward to working with the Dean of Student's Office, Campus NOW, AAREST, CARE and others to pave the way to eliminate this problem in fraternity houses and the UF campus as a whole.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 2005 3 ALLIGATOR, 7 Board of Governors needs to take control of state system hursday, Florida's heavy hitters in higher education will roll into town for the Board of Governors meeting scheduled at the Reitz Union. The hot item: Florida State University's proposed chiropractic school. But that's not the real story at the Board of Governors meeting; the real story is control. The board should insulate the State University System from political meddling. An autonomous board would ensure that a proposal such as FSU's chiropractic school would be reviewed on its academic merit and benefits to Florida, apart from short-sighted state politics. But the Florida Student Association, and therefore the Access Party, is afraid a stronger board would increase tuition, implement block tuition, ban alcohol within 100 miles of campuses, mandate all classes be taught in Russian, cause global warming, etc. Silly FSA -don't you know change isn't always bad? This is not' to say Florida's universities should adopt block tuition. As UF Student Body President Jamal Sowell said, "The student body already has enough fees to pay." Raising prices also could make a college education prohibitively expensive for lowerincome students, trapping families in a cycle of poverty. But the real reason not to block tuition is because it won't work. Proponents Gavin Baker 'lnoGe to homeo reason it would cause students to graduate sooner. Who wants to pay for classes they don't take? So, the school forces you to pay. But not all students need to gbkar@alligatsr.org graduate sooner. An October 2004 Board of Governors' report shows students who graduate from the university where they started earn their degrees in 4.3 years on average. If 4.3 years is the statewide average, I'll bet a fiddle of gold UF's number is less. Compared to the rest of the SUS, UF students are more likely to enter college with credits from advanced placement, international baccalaureate or dual-enrollment classes; more likely to take on heavy course loads; less likely to have to leave school because of family or financial obligations; and more committed to graduating on time. So, to the Board of Governors: Send the chiropractic school back to the drawing board and disregard the block tuition yay-sayers. To FSA and SG: Don't fear the reaper, baby.

8, ALLIGATOR N WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 2005 letters to the Editor Rapists would not respond to entreaties Editor: In Monday's guest column, Maxwell and Paggi suggest rape prevention should focus on telling men not to rape, rather than educating women on how'to prevent it. They say, "UF needs to place more emphasis on telling men not to rape women, because it is men who are the source of the problem." This is true, but the suggested course of action is just silly. Using that philosophy, I should reduce my chance of being robbed not by getting stronger locks or an alarm system but by putting a sign in front of my house reminding passersby not to rob me. Rapists don't rape because they think it's OK, they do it because they are damaged individuals with severe personality issues. If you want to prevent rape, carry a Taser, a rubber band and a knife. Use your imagination. Richard Orr 4EG New parking restrictions worsen issue Editor: I drove yesterday to the parking spot I have used for after-hours parking on campus for the last three years. There, I found a card box preventing entrance and a traffic jam of confused drivers. Without the garage on Museum Road, every parking area close to Turlington Hall was full of angry students seeking a place to park in overfilled lots. I searched through all of my update e-mails from the university and found no mention of the boxes. I guess UF prefers that students not be able to get back to campus after hours. It would have been nice if they would have told me, as I missed both a study session and a club meeting. Like many actions the school has taken, this latest scheme seems to imply that the university cares very little about making the campus accessible to its own undergraduates. Daniel Golden 4LS Confusing line has readers misinformed .Editor. On Tuesday, you said "Gainesville citizens could pay an average of $12 more on their water bills and $14 more on their electric bills if a proposed fire-hydrant and streetlight fee is approved." If that is per month, then it's a big deal; If it's per year, then it's no big deal. Which is it? In this case, you failed to inform, so we can't decide. Randy Jewett UF staff E U E Students also against FSU chiropractics Editor: This letter is in regards to the article in Thursday's Opinions section entitled "FSU chiropractic school deserves lack of support." As an alumnus of FSU and a cur rent employee of FSU's College of Medicine, I echo the sentiments expressed but feel it's necessary to clarify a few points. Not only does the FSU medical faculty vehemently oppose the idea of this chiropractic school, but the student population also opposes the idea. It's not as if we have a choice, though. Often, members of the legislature have more to say about what happens to a college than those who pay tuition. It is a sad day indeed when the Board of Govenors and FSU's Board of Trustees won't listen to the wishes of the faculty. We're used to them ignoring the will of the students but, as we are a young medical school, it puts the degrees that all the medical students work doggedly for in the garbage.

10, ALLIGATOR l WEDNESDAY, JANUARY ?6, 2005 fellowshi in physics group By SKYLER SMITH Alligator Writer ssmith@alligator.org Three UF professors have been recognized as fellows in the American Physical Society, the worldwide organization for physicists. UF physicists Paul Avery and Peter Hirschfeld and chemist Frank Harris were among the one-half of one percent of a group of 40,000 chosen each year to become fellows, according to the American Physical Society. "Three professors being named fellows in one year is quite impressive," said Alan Dorsey, UF physics department chairman, in a press release. "It is certainly an indication of the quality of the faculty and the esteem in which they are held by their colleagues." Of the 49 full-time members within UF's physics department, 17 are American Physical Society fellows, according to a press release. Hirschfeld's work concerns high-temperature superconductors and was cited for research that helped identify D-wave pairs. "I think it's a nice feather in the cap of the physics department," Hirschfeld said. The department has been building a reputation for 15 years and it is now "a player on the national research stage," Hirschfeld added. Harris has been teaching at UF for 20 years and was recognized for developing computing resources for high-energy physics. He is also the director of two chartered National Science Foundation programs. Evidence insufficient to act on fraud allegations YPM, from page 1 correct," Mann said. "There's no way to refute that." Current Supervisor of Elections Pam Carpenter, who took the position earlier this month, said her office did not change the party affiliations of voters who switched their registration to Alachua County "We did not change any of our current registrations or convert them to a new party," she said, adding voters can request to personally change their party affiliations. "If they were already registered, we left them registered in their original party." Julie Handa, Gainesville coordinator for America Coming Together, a left-leaning grassroots organization, said she notified Hill and UF Student Activities Director Lose Beeland when she became suspicious of YPM. "What they were doing didn't seem right," she said. "I wanted them (local officials) to look into it." Ted Terry, president of the Gator Greens, was among the students who aired concerns about the registration drive in October when he wrote an e-mail complaining to the Attorney General's Office. "We didn't think anything would come of it, because it seemed like people under Gov. Jeb )3ush wouldn't take us seriously," Terry said. N / 'a Take a moment of peace for yourself, everyday.

--WEDNESDAY JANUARY-26, 2011*ALLIGATOI ii, Art exhibit opens at Harn Museum By JUSTIN RICHARDS Alligator Writer Art featured at the 40th annual Art Faculty Exhibition that opened Tuesday ran the gamut' from wetland scenery to a decayed skull. "Sleep of Reason," by Arturo Sinclair, consists of an old ammunition box with a gas mask and uniform packed inside. A decayed skull with wispy gray. hair and rosy bloodstains wears the mask. In the eye socket, figures move about on an infrared display as a deep, garbled voice echoes "destruction." Sinclair is one of 22 artists represented at the Harn Museum exhibit, which runs until April 17. Charles Mason, curator of the show, said the exhibition is different from others at the museum in that the artists were able to select the works that would represent them. A few of the exhibits share a common theme of war. Others feature the human body as the foreground. One piece, "Carnival Knowledge" by Barbara Jo Revelle, features a wall of photographs of people -a naked man wearing fairy wings, for example -at Mardi Gras-like celebrations. Painted, nude bodies grace most of the photographs. "It's funny," said Carrie McGirr, a first-year art student, "because it's abstract and unrealistic, but they're real people." "It's funny because it's (the photograph) abstract and unrealistic, but they're real people." Carrie McGirr UF freshman Mason said the Harn's exhibitions typically center around a certain theme. Here, he said, the only unifier is that the artists all work in the same department. Jaime Baird, a graduate student in art history, said she liked the way the exhibition incorporated various mediums, perspectives and methodologies. "It's nice to see the different influences going into the training of our students," she said.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 2005 a ALLIGATOR, 21 First-year Gators take honors STAFF REPORT It was a good week for two first-year Gators. Men's tennis freshman Greg Ouellette has been named the Southeastern Conference Player of the Week and thrower Liz Wanless was named SEC Field Athlete of the Week, the league office announced Tuesday. Ouellette becomes the first freshman in the history of the UF program to earn the award. He joins Hamid Mirzadeh (April 5, 2004), Jeff Morrison (Feb. 29, 2000 and April 11, 2000) and Justin O'Neal (March 28, 2000) as the fourth Gators player to gain the honor. The UF newcomer, ranked 47th in the nation, helped the Gators to a 7-0 shutout of UCF in the 2005 dual match season opener. Ouellette played on the No. 3 singles court, where he defeated UCF's Sebastian Delgado (6-1, 6-2) in just over an hour. Wanless, in her first year competing for the Gators, has already claimed three shot put titles in just four events this season. Her most recent victory came Saturday at the Clemson Invitational, where Wanless posted an NCAA automatic 'qualifying mark of 17.18m. Wanless is a transfer from DivisionIII Bates College, where she was a NCAA champion in the shot put as well as an All-American in volleyball. NOT JUST UF: The Santa Fe Community College men's basketball team remained the No. 1 junior college team in the state while jumping to No. 4 in the latest poll by the National Junior College Athletics Association. The Saints (20-0, 2-0 Mid-Florida Conference), coming off a 85-77 win over Central Florida CC last Wednesday, received one first-place vote in the national poll. "I'm very proud of our guys and happy that .our program is earnSanta Fe ing recognition on the COmmunity College national level," Coach Chris Mowry said. "Hopefully we can continue to play at this level and keep this program in a position to achieve some great things." The Saints will put their perfect record and 20-game winning streak on the line tonight when Daytona Beach CC comes to Gainesville for a double-header at the SFCC gym. The Saints are one win away from tying the program record of 21 consecutive wins set by the 1995-96 Saints, who reached No. 6 nationally. The women's game will tip off at 6 p.m., with the men slated to take to the court at 8. Admission is $2 for the general public and $1 for senior citizens and children under 12. Faculty, staff and students of SFCC are admitted free with a valid ID. Prospect staying silent RECRUITING, from page I that the old regime was on, and going out and recruiting kids at critical need positions, like at linebacker. And [the staff is] showing them that they can step in right away and make an impact." Meyer will appear on Sunshine Network's Countdown to Signing Day show tonight at 6:30. He will talk about recruiting strategies, and possibly make a push at some of the bigname targets still left on UF's recruiting board. Antone Smith, ranked the No. 1 running back in the na-. tion by Scout.com, visited Gainesville this past weekend but remains quiet as to where he will sign. Smith, who is also scheduled to appear on the show, is expected to receive an inhome visit from UF's coaching staff this week before visiting FSU this weekend. "Antone is the most explosive player in the country and is a legitimate 4.3 speed guy," Newberg said. "He isn't a big back, but neither was Barry Sanders, and I see shades of Barry in the way Antone runs with such speed." The 5-foot-8, 185-pound back from Pahokee won this year's Mr. Florida Football award, given to the state's top talent. Previously, Smith has called former Gators running back Emmitt Smith his idol, and may be a perfect fit for the halfback position in Meyer's offense. Do It Right or REM7NION Don't Do It!

22, ALLIGATOR M WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 2005 MoreheadprIoves) ft be valuable Gators asset 0 THE SENIOR HAS REBOUNDED FROM HER EARLY-SEASON INJURIES. By MICHAEL MAURINO Alligator Writer mmaurino@alligator.org Last year, she was UF's secret weapon. Plucked from the junior college ranks, she came to the Gators as an unknown asset. This year, she was to be a powerful piece of a team that is primed for a second consecutive run to the NCAA Tournament. Senior Tashia Morehead started tis season as a versatile player with outside range and the strength to get points inside. Though she is still that type of player, Morehead's path this season has been plagued by injuries. After starting the first game of the season, Morehead played limited minutes due to a strained right quadriceps and a sprained ankle. Now at fill strength, Morehead has started all five of UF's Southeastern Conference games, averaging nine points and five rebounds in conference play. Coach Carolyn Peck said that Morehead has had an "uphill battle" coming back from the injuries but said Morehead will be key to UF success in the conference. "We're going to challenge Tashia to play even tougher than she already has," Peck said. "It's going to be important as we continue through the rest of the SEC." Morehead said she appreciates the confidence the team has in her and the pressure that comes with it. "It makes me feel responsible for getting the job done," she said. "I might sound crazy, but that kind of pressure I just feed off of." Prior to joining the Gators, Morehead played at Panama City's Gulf Coast Community College. In her two seasons, her team went 70-1, capturing the 2003 National Junior College Athletic Association Championship. Morehead averaged 23 points and 9.6 rebounds per game at Gulf Coast. A first-team junior college All-American two consecutive years, Morehead says she has carried the work ethic she learned in junior college to Gainesville. "At JUCO we worked every day," she said. "And I think that just rubbed off and came here. Once [my UF teammates] saw me doing it and some of the other players doing it with me, it Morehead was just a contagious thing and everybody started working." Peck said Morehead, a lifelong Gators fan, is a leader and takes pride in her play. "Tashia has always been a Gator in her mind and she takes a lot of pride in being one," Peck said. "She plays hard for her team, and in everything she does it's never about her, but what she can do to help this team win." Morehead started all 30 games of UF's surprising 2003-04 season that ended in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. She was the team's third-leading scorer with 12 points a game, and also third with 5.7 rebounds a game. In addition, Morehead showed another facet of her game by leading the team with 38 three-pointers. Guard Tamia Williams has been asked to step in for injured players this season. The senior said Morehead is a determined player who leads by example. She also said that Morehead is finally playing up to her ability and doing a good job of it. "She's handled it very well. She's coming back into herself," Williams said. "I know she has a lot of expectations for herself. But I think she's doing pretty good. And I'm glad she is starting to find her flow and get back into the game." GYMNASTICS Freshman brings all-around success to UF program By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer dtreat@alligator.org Sacrifice, dedication and commitment. All three of these words can be used to describe any athlete competing at an elite level. But not many of them had to make the decision UF freshman Ashley Reed faced after her sophomore year of high school. Reed had two choices: stay at her family's Davie home and likely lose out on a college scholarship, or go to Orlando to chase the dream, leaving her friends and school behind. She chose the latter. "-moved to Orlando to improve my gymnastics," she said. "The gyms down where I lived in Fort Lauderdale weren't that good. In order to get better and to get a scholarship, I had to go to a better gym." What made the move especially trying was that Reed's mother went to Orlando with her, while her father stayed at home. "It was difficult for my family," she said. "Mostly because my dad and my mom had to be separated. We did go down and visit my dad every weekend." Upon arrival, she joined the Orlando Metro Gymnastics team, which has produced current teammate Tiffany Murry and former UF All-American Chrissy Van Fleet. She also attracted the attention of numerous big-name programs. "Recruiting was interesting with Ashley," UF coach Rhonda Faehn said. "There were so many top schools that were interested and wanted her to take visits there. She had already done her research and knew what she wanted, so she turned the majority of the schools down for even taking a visit." "My parents said that [moving] was the best decision we ever made, because it made my future a lot brighter" Ashley Reed UF Freshman Reed visited UF and Louisiana State, but signed with the Gators. "Ireally liked the coaches and the team," she said. "I love the weather here and I live close to here, and my brother goes here, too." As a heavily-recnuited prospect, Reed faced an enormous amount of pressure in Gainesville. She lived up to the hype before the season even began, scoring a 39.275 to win the all-around during an intrasquad meet in mid-December. "We knew right from the start about her potential," Faehn said. "Everything is so polished, and that's a little bit unusual for a freshman. She was definitely geared toward [the all-around] from the start." Her perfonnance has carried over into the early part of her freshman season, where she has competed in the all-around in all three competitions this season. Her high score, 38.575, came against the other school that recruited her -LSU. "I didn't expect [to be contributing so much so soon]," Reed said. Despite her love of gymnastics, Reed doesn't think that she wants to be a coach. In fact, figuring out what she wants to do is her No. 1 goal. "My goal is to definitely keep my grades up," she said. "And to get into a field that I want to for a career. Pretty much figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life." Wherever she goes and whatever she does, Reed will always look at her parents as the reason. "My parents always told me to be determined and never let me give up on myself," she said. "They taught me to be dedicated to the sport and my school. "My parents said that [moving] was the best decision we ever made, because it made my future a lot brighter." Lifeguard Training!

By FARZAD SAFI Alligator Writer fsafi@alligator.org One undefeated team had absolutely no shot at winning a national championship. Another team without a blemish on its record watched the Orange Bowl from home. Welcome to the current state of college football, where a computer can determine which team walks away king of the NCAA. In theory -and in every other sport, both in college and in the professional leagues -the best team in the nation becomes evident and the season's end becomes just that: the end. But thanks to the Bowl Championship Series, often reffered to as "the BC-Mess" once the bowl games are over, the real work begins. This year was no exception. Four teams went undefeated. Only twohad an opportunity to play for the national championship. Once again, the national title game left some fans unconvinced that the best team in the nation played for the title. Aubum and Utah -two teams rarely discussed in the preseason -achieved just about everything a team can achieve. Both teams, however, had to deal with the reality of finishing a season without a loss and without a shot at the title. In only one sport can such an event occur, and demand for change in college football exists unlike in. any other. Controversial computers "The BCS was an attempt to match the top two-rated teams at a bowl location at season's end without extending the length of the season," current BCS chairman .Kevin Weiberg said. That may have been the intent, but there hasn't been a college WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 23 UNFAIR TO THE UNDEFEATED football season that ended without controversy since 1999. The problem is that more than two teams can finish undefeated, but the BCS hosts just one championship game. Out of four undefeated teams, only Oklahoma and USC played for the national championship. A playoff could have paired Auburn with USC after the Trojans crushed the Sooners in the Orange Bowl. "One more game wouldn't hurt this year; it would almost solve all our problems," Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "I've heard other coaches say it wouldn't work, but they're not standing in my shoes." Just one more game Whether one is for or against the BCS, there is no denying a single fact -in its seven-year existence, there have been three years where the system left many tuhappy. Since its inception, the BCS has been "tweaked" almost every year to try and correct ills. Utah, a member of the Mountain West Conference, went undefeated this past season under the guidance of new UF coach Urban Meyer. Utah proved that a team does not have to belong to a powerhouse conference to be considered among the nation's best. Utah became the first non-BCS conference team to play in a major bowl game -but it was in the Fiesta Bowl against Pittsburgh. The Orange Bowl was out of the question. The most popular prescription for the situation is to simply replace the BCS with a playoff system. The reasoning would be that teams on the field would decide who is truly No. 1, instead of writers and computers determining a champion. Playoffs would satisfy many, but minor tweaks. are more likely. Let the BCS live? "The bowls are good for college football," UF Athletics Director Jeremy Foley said. "People forget that these games are for the players. Personally, I believe anything that hurts would be bad." Those opposed to a playoff system cite that a postseason playoff is unnecessary because the regular season in college football is in essence a playoff. "Playoffs are so far down the road," Foley said. "It might hurt the bowl system, and I think maybe we just need to tweak them." Not until 2010 Although there are more questions than answers when it comes to the future of college football, one thing is certain: the BCS is not going anywhere soon. Bowl fairness controversy continues The BCS recently agreed to a new television contract extension through 2010 for the networks to broadcast the current bowl games. Still, some critics believe a playoff is possible. ."You can keep and incorporate the bowl games while still ensuring we get a consensus national championship matchup," AM 850 radio host Steve Russell said. However, those running the show have dismissed this idea. "I really do not see an NFL-style playoff coming to college football any time soon," Weiberg said. One compromise being floated is a plus-one system. Starting in 2006, one additional bowl will be added to the BCS lineup, making a total of five BCS bowl games. However, it is unclear whether this will be a true playoff game or merely an additional bowl --2-, IMPORT ANT RULE, CHANGE IMPACT: DATE: WHAT CHANGES: INFORMATION: Parking Ticket Appeals Effective January 1, 2005 The time allowed to appeal a parking citation will be reduced from 90 calendar days to 20 business days for all tickets issued on or after January 1, 2005.

"Do we need to have one more game or to tweak how teams are selected?" Foley said. "Yes, but the current bowl system is good." Auburn should be most passionately against the BCS. However, even the Tigers are taking a politically correct stance. "I think it is a relatively good system," Auburn Athietics Director Jay Jacobs said. "The BCS was created to solve a problem and it al-post has. However, the last two years, if we had that one additional game, it would have cleared up a lot. "I believe in keeping the bowl system intact, but having one additional game would be a wonderful opportunity for college athletics. With the current bowl system and with one more game, you will have a true national champion and that will be it."

By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org Six scholarship players, nine freshmen and two seniors filled Georgia's ranks as the Bulldogs took the O'Connell Center floor Tuesday night. Not surprisingly, that lineup earned Georgia its lowest shot-clockera point total against one of its fiercest rivals as the Gators (12-4, 4-1 Southeastern Conference) defeated the Bulldogs, 70-47. For UF, however, its opponent's probation-depleted lineup paled in comparison to the need to rebound from a disappointing home loss to Tennessee. Men's Basketball "I knew their Georgia 47 situations with U F 70 the walk-ons and stuff," said junior guard Anthony Roberson. "But what matters is that we got a conference win at home." Led by Roberson and sophomore Lee Humphrey, the Gators exhibited that no-mercy, must-win mentality early on, as UF's starting backcourt pl"wers combined for two consecutive 3-pointers. Senior forward David Lee followed with a layup to complete a game-opening 8-0 UF run. "It felt good how we started the game off and jumped all over them," Roberson said. "I think Georgia is a team that wants a win in this league, sowe couldn't really come into the game and overlook them at all." Led by Roberson once again, the Gators mounted a 9-2 run to take a 32-15 halftime lead. During that streak, Roberson split three Georgia defenders, spinning through the lane for a layup. With 23 seconds remaining, Roberson capped the UF scoring surge, sinking one of his three first-half 3-pointers. Roberson, who totaled 90 points in his three previous games, finished with a game-high 18. Freshman forward Al Horford had 10 and tied with Lee for a team-high seven rebounds. Junior guard Matt Walsh, in his second game back from a high ankle sprain, scored nine points in 24 minutes.

Noah helped spark the Gators by grabbing four rebounds. But while the Gators trotted to the locker room with a 17-point halftime lead, it was the UF defense that impressed Coach Billy Donovan. His team held Georgia to a season-low 15 first-half points. "I think it's hard to hold a team in our league to 15 points in a half," Donovan said. "And I attribute that to how we grinded it out in the first half." Without the 16.3-points-per-game average of leading scorer Levi Stukes, Georgia converted -30.4 percent of its first-half shots. This followed the Bulldogs' season-high 61-percent mark during the second half of their win against Vanderbilt. Stukes, who didn't play against the Commodores due to an ankle SEC East -men's basketball 1. Kentucky 6-0 2. UF 4-1 3. Tennessee 3-3 4. South Carolina 2-3 5. Vanderbilt 2-3 sprain, did not make the trip due to a one-game suspension for violating team rules. "Levi actually practiced yesterday and looked great," Georgia coach Dennis Felton said. "He's back at 100 percent, but we decided to leave him at home because of team rules." With its limited lineup, Georgia utilized a slow, physical style that resulted in a second-half foul fest, as both teams reached the bonus in less than eight minutes and combined for 29 fouls -in the period. "They were trying to make the game ugly," Walsh said. "They weretrying to grind it out and keep it lowscoring. We didn't have a great offensive game, but defensively we really showed some improvement." U 1981: The UF men's basketball team employed a hack-a-Nole strategy as the Gators fouled Florida State 33 times, the fourth-highest total in school history. UF lost the game 81-72. Hated Walsh key to Gators' success att Walsh is the only person in the world who can make Carrot Top look sexy and make Evel Knievel seem lame. Walsh is the only player in his conference who can make both the All-SEC team and the All-Hatred Team. Tuesday night, in what was a mostly meaningless game against Georgia, Walsh proved that he provides what no one else can offer. During the first half, he dove after a loose ball, got smashed in the face by Georgia's Tommy Wainscott and then dove into the scrum yet again for the basketball. "Whether he has a broken leg or he's healthy, he gives you that diving, that hustle, that energy, that fight, that toughness," Coach Billy Donovan said. Louis Anastasis Louis in the Bullpen lanastasis@aligator.org It was Walsh's second game back from torn tendons in is left ankde -and he's played the Mr. Kamikaze role to an Oscardeserving level. Last March, he took on Manhattan without half of the skin on his right foot. That's like driving your car with a ripped timing belt or coasting down the Autobahn on nothing but rims. "That's what makes 'him such a great player," girlfriend Lauren Anderson said. "He's willing to sacrifice his body" Lauren -the July 2002 Playmate of the Month, mind you -will be-the first to attest to Walsh having ligaments tougher than the Terminator and gonads heavier than the Chinese guy at Tiananmen Square. And maybeshe helps explain Walsh's miraculous three-week recovery from a bum left ankle. Who wouldn't feel better going home with Lauren every night? But Anderson can't go with Walsh everywhere. She makes nearly every home game, with her 100watt blonde hair and a, well, model body, but she can't watch Matt on the road. He won't let her. Walsh doesn't want her to see people ridicule him with chants like, "Walsh is gay. You can thank the Cocks in Southi Carolina for that. "He's afraid some jerk is going to make a rude comment, and with me being really defensive, that wouldn't be good," Anderson said. But why the animosity? Walsh is hated because Walsh cares. His teammates know this, and they have to catch his disease if they want to taste any Sweet-16 nectar in 2005. "A lot of people have written Florida off," Anderson said. "I think that's what gets him going." Walsh's best asset is spirit, his portfolio is passion and he's invested everything he's got. You can toast to his injuries with a keg of Haterade. You can argue Anthony Roberson is a purer shooter. You could even approach himn with a pair of scissors. His teammates would just ask you to keep them away from his family jewels.
