Chiropractic



school denied


By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM
Alligator Staff Writer
Jvanl@alligator.org

The plan to build a chiropractic
school at Florida State University
was pronounced dead Thursday at
12:40 p.m. in the Reitz Union Grand
Ballroom.
That's when the Board of
Governors, which oversees Florida's
11 public universities, voted 10 to
3 to deny its approval, breaking
the back of an effort to build what
would have been the first chiro-
practic school at an American public
university.
After hearing arguments, most
of the board members said its con-
struction would not be a valuable
use of scarce state resources.
Board Chairwoman Carolyn
Roberts, an Ocala realtor, said build-
ing the school could jeapardize
FSU's entry into the Association of
American Universities.

SG to fund

hotel, tickets
By JEFF SIRMONS

UF's Reitz Union Hotel needs
to get with the times, officials
say, and Student Government has
stepped in to help.
To combat the "vintage" look
of the hotel, the SG budget com-
mittee approved a $500,000 loan
to the union. The money will
be used to renovate bathrooms
designed almost 40 years ago, as
well as replace worn-out curtains,
carpets and bedspreads from the
'80s.
"Currently, the hotel is old and

developer, said FSU failed to present
clear and convincing evidence that
the school is needed.
And Steven Uhlfelder, a
Tallahassee lobbyist, said the plan
has been a political power play with-
out real merit for either FSU or the
State University
System. He add-
ed that the Board
of Governors
should move on
to important sub-
jects such as the
inadequacy of

Roberts funding.
In his last budget recommenda-
tion, Gov. Jeb Bush funded only a
quarter of the amount the Board of
Governors said is necessary to keep
pace with new student enrollment.

SG budget committee chairman.
"It's at a Motel 6 quality when it
should be at a Hyatt quality."
The money will come out of SG
reserves and will be paid back in
five years.
"This investment will actually
clear up more money for the stu-
dents," said Dave Kratzer, Reitz
Union director. "We do these
renovations, increase the price
by $15, SG would be able to make
a return on the investment and
also, the Activity & Service Fee on
student tuition would go down
because of increased revenue."
The remodeling would take
four to eight weeks, and the goal
is to finish by football season.

Chris Bucciarelli and Jeremy Martin of the Interfraternity Council discuss volunteer options
with Kay Lenard of the Red Cross on Thursday afternoon. IFC, along with the Panhellenic
Council, presented a check to the organization from money raised for tsunami relief.

Greek councils donate relief


By DAVID COHEN

dcohen@alligator.org

UF's generosity soon will be putting food in
starving mouths, covering cold bodies and warm-
ing the hearts of thousands of strangers in Asia.
The Interfratemity and Panhellenic councils
formally presented the North Central Florida
Chapter of the Red Cross with a $7,500 check for
tsunami disaster relief Thursday at 4 p.m.
The contribution is a result of the efforts of the
Greek community as well as the generosity of the
entire UF student body.
"It really exceeded our expectations," said
Chris Ferrante, service director for IFC. "The stu-
dent body really showed out in big support. We
were only expecting a couple thousand dollars
at best. It took so long to even count the money;
even the pocket change and everything helped.
We were pretty much overwhelmed."
Ferrante noted that IFC did not get the check
to the Red Cross sooner because the Red Cross
had been "so busy" accepting donations.


* Months of preparation
culminated in a victory last
week for students from the
UF Levin College of Law
at the annual Florida Bar
Mock Trial team competi-
tion held in Miami. See
story, pg 6.


Red Cross International is bringing $1.2 billion
in relief efforts to South Asia.
"At first, the Red Cross is concerned
with meeting their immediate needs,
and after that the Red Cross will step

Machen plans to


double research


* UF PRESIDENT URGES
TECHNOLOGY AND BUSI-
NESS DEVELOPMENT.

By BRIAN HAGEN
Alligator Writer
bhagen@alligator.org

It took $200 to silence
about 500 attendees the first
time.
Mark Walker of Mercantile
Bank, corporate sponsor of
the annual meeting dinner of
the Gainesville Area Chamber
of Commerce, announced
that one of the room's 500
travel cups held a winning
ticket for that amount. The
noisy crowd went silent as
hands rushed to grab for the
travel cups at every setting.
The evening's second and
third silences came after din-
ner courtesy of UF President
Bernie Machen and Katherine
Pierce, who assumed her po-
sition Thursday evening as
the 2005 chair of the Chamber
of Commerce.
Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan,
city and county commis-
sioners, and hundreds-of
Gainesville business repre-
sentatives listened to them
both closely.
Machen also announced
his aspiration to double the
size of UF's research ambi-
tions, continuing to pursue
his vision of elevating UF
among the top ten universi-
ties in the nation.
"I want to recruit scientists
and scholars," Machen said.
However, while expand-
ing the research side of UF,
Machen plans to maintain
current enrollment levels.
"Forty-nine thousand is
plenty big," he said.
The proposed growth for
UF means the need for a new
infrastructure, new buildings
and a solution to Gainesville's
traffic, problem. ;


"The University of Florida
must be the stimulant for
economic development,"
Machen said.
UF-spawned technologies
have created six companies
that have brought half a bil-
lion dollars and 2,000 jobs to
Florida, he said. He intends
to keep these businesses in
Gainesville to keep jobs and
money within the commu-
nity.
"The next decade is going
to be of great excitement to
us," Machen said.
Pierce's new position was
announced by her predeces-
sor, 2004 Chamber Chairman
Charles "Chic" Holden, who
called her
"my right
hand" and
a constant
source for
good ad-
vice.
Machen Pierce
introduced
her theme for the year,
"Business is Good," empha-
sizing the business commu-
nity must increase its partici-
pation in local government.
"They are not mind-read-
ers," Pierce said of the city
and county officials. "Show
up at meetings. At least send
an e-mail. You must let them
know what you want."
"Not speaking up is like
not voting," Pierce added.
The Chamber succeeded
in its goal of increasing di-
versity in 2004. Over the past
year, the Chamber's newly
created Diversity Task Force
brought to its board three
new African-American mem-
bers, two Hispanics and two
women, Holden said.
It also expanded member-
ship with 198 new members,
bringing the group's net
increase in members to 100,
Holden added.

After striking down a pet project of last year's legis-
lative leaders, the Board of Governors defied the state-
house again by voting not to fund a $5.4 million recom-
mended construction project for a community college.
After the vote against a chiropractic program at FSU,
Board member Steve Uhlfelder questioned funding St.
Petersburg-College, a community college the board
doesn't govern.
"Why can't we turn them down on this?" Uhlfelder
asked his colleagues. "It's not our responsibility to look
after St. Pete College."
Board Chairwoman Carolyn Roberts questioned if
refusing legislative wishes was wise at a time when the
State University System is short on cash, but the board
voted against the funding by one vote.
The board voted to delegate distribution of the $5.4
million to the Department of Education.


Should UF receive some of that money, it would
help fund a new life sciences building at the university,
Interim Provost Joe Clover said.
UF got more than $5 million in additional funds
after Public Education Capital Outlay revenue projec-
tions increased by $46.9 million. PECO funds Florida
public university construction
UF projects.
Administration UF now expects a total of
$64.2 million for maintenance,
an emergency power system
and two new interdisciplinary research facilities over
the next three years.
"This is growing research," said Ed Poppell, UF vice
president for finance and administration. "That is our
focus."
If the Florida Legislature includes the construction
funding recommended by the Board of Governors in its
2005-06 state budget, UF should receive $40.6 million
around July 1, he said.

Author tells Greeks of hazing dangers


Togetherness, positivity encouraged


By IVETTE MENDEZ
Alligator Contributing Writer


Ricky L. Jones, author of the book
"Black Haze," addressed Greek
students on the dangers of hazing
Thursday night, stressing the im-
portance of unity within their com-
munity.
The event, sponsored by the
Institute of Black Culture and the UF
chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi fraterni-
ty, drew a crowd of about 100 to the
Reitz Union Grand Ballroom.
"Black Greeks and white Greeks
in particular need to come together
and do more things together," Jones
said.
c: J ', ..


Jones, a member of Kappa Alpha
Psi, said he hopes to put a stop to
the deaths caused by hazing. Hazing
was present even among his frater-
nity's chapter
at Morehouse
~' College.
"What is re-
ally important

life," he said.
In order
Black History to lighten the
Month mood of the
room, Jones
brought some
comic relief to the issue of hazing.
At one point toward the end of his


speech, the room.broke into laughter
as he quoted Dave Chappelle and Lil
Jon.
-Instead of focusing on blaming,
Jones used his position to motivate
the audience to pay more attention to
academics. Greeks need to start suc-
ceeding more in school and worry
less about partying, Jones said.
Kappa Sigma fraternity pledge
Peter Kasser said, "Of course hazing
is a major issue; I'm glad he recog-
nizes it. He put a historical perspec-
tive on it."
Jones said he wants the Greek
community to help students live suc-
cessfully.
"Either the fraternity or sorority
makes you, or you help to make the
fraternity or sorority," he said.

STUDENT LIFE

UF law students dominate mock trial competition


By LAURA JONES
-Alligator Contributirg Writer

Months of preparation culminated in a vic-
tory last week for students from the UF Levin
College of Law at the annual Florida Bar Mock
Trial team competition held in Miami.
Nine schools from around the state, in-
cluding the University of Miami, Stetson
University, Florida Coastal University and
Barry University, brought two teams to partic-.
ipate in the competition, held Jan. 19 and 20.
The competition consisted of four full tri-
als, with each team taking turns to represent
the plaintiff and the defendant. Two federal-
district judges presided over the trial, playing
referee for the competition, said Chris King,
one of the team captains.


"They ran it just like they would run their
courtroom on a typical day," King said.
The team with the most points after each
trial would move on to the next trial.
"It's just like the NCAA tournament. If
you win you move on, and if you don't you're
out," King said.
After winning in the semifinal rounds, the
two UF teams had to face off in the finals.
"We were just all really excited and thrilled
to be able to do that," King said. "As far as we
know, it hadn't happened before, so we were
excited."
The team of King, Paul Vicary, Gregory
Edwards and Najah Gibson won first place.
King, a third-year law student, received best
advocate honors. Other UF team members
included Loreal Belfon, Claudel Pressa, Chris


"The success of this team is re-
ally a testament to what happens
when talented students are willing
to work hard towards achieving a
single goal."
Nick Zissimopulos
Law Office of Rush & Glassman attorney

Chestnut and Natalie Hanan.
Stacey Steinberg, an assistant state attorney
in Alachua County, and Nick Zissimopulos,
an attorney with the Law Office of Rush &
Glassman in Gainesville coached the teams.
"In order to prepare for this tournament,
the students began practicing in October of


last year," Zissimopulos said. "With an av-
erage of four practices per week, as well as
individual work, each student was required
to devote hundreds of hours of preparation
outside of their regular school schedules."
The team ended its trip with a celebration at
a restaurant in Coconut Grove and left Miami
with more experience under their belts.
King said this victory was especially sweet
because last year the UF team was out of the
running shortly after the competition began.
Zissimopulos said that most importantly,
students learned the value and importance of
a strong work ethic.
"The success of this team is really a testa-
ment to what happens when talented students
are willing to work hard toward achieving a
single goal," Zissimopulos said.

Financial Accounting class getsacademic makeover



Financial Accounting class gets-academic makeover


By JULIE ANNE MCADAMS
Alligator Contributing Writer


Financial Accounting at UF has re-
ceived a facelift in an attempt to make it
more relevant and attractive to students.
"Students think accounting is boring
and it's a pain to come to class," Financial
Accounting assistant professor Haijin Lin,
said. "We are trying to change that."
In the past, three multiple-choice exams
made up most of the class grades. Students
in Financial Accounting now have home-
work and quizzes to help balance their
scores.
An optional lab session also meets


every other Friday, where teaching assis-
tants answer questions and give practice
quizzes.
Lin agrees with the revisions to the
course, saying the class was too mechani-
cal before. Now she tries to relate her
teaching to the real world of business.
"If you just mechanically' apply the
rules, you miss out," Lin said.
Sophomore finance major Ashley Aplin
said Financial Accounting is the weed-out
class. She admits she heard the course was
difficult from many people.
"I was really scared to take it at first,"
Aplin said. "Everyone made it seem like it
was impossible to do well or even pass."


Lin said she believes this kind of input
from friends can hurt the confidence of a
potential Financial Accounting students
before they even register for the class.

"This class has made me
realize that this is what I want to do. I
like it," she said. "I think Professor Lin is

My teaching assistant is great too. He fills

According to Lin, the class was de-

6, ALLIGATOR N FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 2005


The Department of Darts & Laurels had planned a slate of
pressing, important issues for today.
This space was to be full of national intrigue, civil rights
battles and a healthy portion of good old controversy.
But then, Floridians collectively decided to be morons yet
again.
This week, we're going to bring you the best (or worst) of
the ridiculous things denizens of the Sunshine State chose to do,
from the silly to the just plain idiotic.
Who wants to hear real news anyway? That's what "The
Daily Show" is for.
So put on a dissaproving look, raise your eyebrow and get
ready to point your finger as we chuckle scornfully into this
week's edition of...



Darts & Laurels

Because tales of actual school violence just aren't good
enough for us anymore, we give a there's-a-way-to-effec-
tively-use-law-enforcement-resources DART to Ocala Police
for arresting two special education students on second-degree
felony charges, accusing them of drawing pictures "for the
sole purpose of intimidating and scaring" another student.
The boys, ages 9 and 10, made drawings in pencil and red
crayon depicting a 10-year-old classmate dying in various
ways. If the students are charged as adults which no longer
seems like such an impossible idea they could face up to 15
years in prison.
In similar news, FBI investigators are still perplexed over
a case in which a kindergarten student has fled the country to
escape prosecution. The student, who was the subject of a na-
tionwide manhunt, faces a possible life sentence if convicted
of calling his teacher a "doodyhead."
As the last remnants of hanging chads and misplaced
absentee ballots were finally slipping out of the nation's col-
lective consciousness, we toss a yes-we'd-love-to-hear-more-
about-the-election-four-years-ago DART to Theresa LePore,
former Palm Beach County election supervisor, for announc-
ing she is writing a book on her exploits as butterfly-ballot
champion.
LePore, who has been milking the subject for her own gain
a la Monica Lewinsky since 2000, expects the book to be a big
success though she said she can't promise whether pre-or-
dering customers will receive their first choice of blue or red
covers.
While we close our eyes and try extra hard to pretend
our state hasn't transformed into one giant episode of "The
Simpsons," we hurl a yes-the-voters-really-meant-it-this-time
DART to some Florida legislators for continuing to think the
high-speed rail is a good idea.
The state lawmakers who are waiting to see if the federal
transportation budget includes funding for the rail evidently
missed the last meeting, in which the huddled masses realized
Epcot's Futureland section is not the best model for Florida's
development.
But finally, just when we thought IQs in "America's wang"
(thanks, Homer) had dropped to their lowest, one group
actually decided to take a step'forward on the evolutionary
ladder.
Because we love to say "We told you so," we gratiously
present an at-least-somebody-in-this-crazy-place-remem-
bered-their-helmet LAUREL to the Board of Governors for
voting to kill FSU's proposed chiropractic school.
Regardless of the possible merits of chiropractics as a prac-
tice, the proposal scoffed at the idea of faculty, student and
university approval and instead came into being when senator
and chiropractor Jim King said "Make it so."
Didn't someone tell him we have standards to uphold
here?

TV becoming a repetitLve wasteland



TV becoming a repetitive wasteland


hanks to the insanely cold weather, I've recently
stayed indoors a lot more. This has led to a horrify-
ing discovery about the state of television: it's aw-
ful. TV, for the most part, has become unwatchable.
The first thing I noticed was even the commercials have
hit a new low. Not counting the various local news ads
that warn me, "Something could be killing you right now,
tune in at 11 to find out what it is," there are only about
five different commercials that run in Gainesville. Not
only are they all on constantly, but all of them are terrible.
I have seen that horrid InventTech commercial about
18 million times and unintentionally have it memorized:
"Everybody laughed at my pot that cooked and drained
pasta; If I had the patent, I'd be rich." It won't be long before I
start having nightmares about it: "Snap your fingers, turn on
the lights that was my idea, but now Satan will eat your
soul."
Worse than the commercials are the actual TV shows
themselves. Not only are they bad, but I think I can place al-
most every show on TV right now in one of four categories.
First there are the New Age detective shows in which
most of.the program is spent in a lab where generic, under-
developed characters make smarmy remarks about evidence
that will help them find who's been killing all the neighbor-
hood cats. CBS alone has something like 14,000 shows in this
genre, and they're all on Thursday. "CSI," "CSI: Miami,"
"CSI: New York," "NCIS," "Cold Case," "Without a Trace,"
"Numb3rs," and the brand new "CSI: Sri Lanka" come on,
tell me you wouldn't watch all fit the bill.
Then there are the homogenous sitcoms starring
crappy, usually fat, white comedians, who always have a
ridiculously hot wife. The prototype for this kind of show
has to be "The King of Queens," also on CBS. You're telling
me Kevin James could ever hook up with Leah Remini?


Really? Maybe I could believe it,
maybe, if his character wasn't so
boorish and obnoxious.
SAnother unfortunate trend is
the list show perpetuated by VH1.
These programs take any random
Andrew Meyer topic (i.e. "The 100 Most Outrageous
Uncommon Sense Moments ofJanuary 4th") and getD-
letters@alligator.org list celebrities to comment on them.
Actually, they don't even need a list
anymore now that they've created the monstrosity known
as "Best Week Ever." Now, we can get instant commentary
"I Love the 80s"-style from Michael Ian Black on things that
happened the previous week. Watching this would be the
fastest way to kill an hour and a bunch of brain cells, were it
not for the reality TV craze.
Ah yes, reality TV. The bane of the boob tube, reality
TV is what has truly ruined television perhaps forever.
I don't know who deserves more of the blame for this-
- MTV, CBS or FOX. Everyone knows MTV's "The Real
World" essentially birthed reality TV, but the astounding
success of CBS's "Survivor," which I admittedly watched,
is what sparked reality TV's expansion. Personally, I hold
FOX responsible. Why? Because they took reality TV and
made certain that it would appeal to the lowest com-
mon denominator: "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire?"
"Temptation Island," "American Idol," "My Big Fat
Obnoxious Fiancee," the list goes on and on. FOX
guaranteed you won't be able to turn on any of the major
networks without wanting to kill their executives.
Isay forget TV. Who needs it?
"The Sopranos" is on DVD now anyway.
Andrew Meyer is a journalism freshman. His column ap-
pears on Friday.

Sexual assault victim responds to letter
Editor: As a former victim of sexual as-
sault, I must say David Tarabocchia's letter
was disturbing to read on Thursday. It amazes
me how ignorant some people can be about
rape, sexual assault, the causes of it and who
is responsible. These crimes will never cease to
take place if people continue to make excuses.
Rape and sexual assault are crimes and
should never be mistaken for anything else. If
a womah wears an outfit that is provocative,
it doesn't give a man the right to rape her. She
has a right to wear whatever she feels is ap-
propriate and, if a man cannot control himself,
then he needs to seek therapy not justify it
by raping her. If she says "no" at any point
during a sexual interaction, it means "no."
Sadly, there are women in the world who


think it is all right to claim rape when it did
not occur. A recent example of this is Kobe
Bryant's "rape" case. These women are sick
and they hurt the real women in the world
who have been raped. Yet, these few cases of
women screaming for attention should not be
used as examples to justify rape. As for your
crude "take responsibility" example, I have
one thing to say: Unlike a car, a woman can
not lock her body. You can protect your car
from being stolen by locking the doors or
buying an alarm, no matter how much of a
"burden" that is.
What society needs to do is change its
views on rape and sexual assault as a whole.
Women do need to be responsible. Yet, rap-
ists also have to take responsibility for their
actions. Society needs to make them see violat-


ing somebody else's body never is justifiable.

Students lose if they do not vote locally
Editor: Campaign season is here again. No,
it's not time for the flashy state and national
campaigns but time for real politics: local
elections. Every year, students hear the same
plea to get involved, but it always falls upon
deaf ears. Voters aged 18-25 consistently have
among the the lowest turnouts of all groups,
but it finally caught up with them in Ocala.
Tuesday night the Ocala City Commission
took a stand against underage drinking by
approving an ordinance banning anyone


under 21 from going to bars or clubs. Dozens
of students and youths piled into the commis-
sion chambers to argue their case, but the war
had already been lost at the polls. Had youth
in Ocala taken a few moments out of their time
to research candidates and vote, they wouldn't
be relegated to watching Saturday Night Live
reruns. In about a month, three.pro-student,
pro-business city commissioners in Gainesville
will come up for reelection. Take some time
to research and see where they stand and if
the challengers understand the issues. With
Mayor Hanrahan and President Machen cur-
rently using a public relations campaign to
curb underage drinking, make sure you aren't
mute if they look to Ocala for ideas.

Forestry students


prevent forest fires


APRIL IS AN ACTIVE
MONTH FOR WILDFIRES.

By SKYLER SMITH
Alligator Writer
ssmith@alligator.org

UF forestry students are doing
their part to set forest fires.
Preventing fires by setting
supervised blazes is a method
used throughout the country. In
Florida alone, more than 34,000
acres were scorched to get rid of
underbrush so the ecosystems
could be protected from a devas-
tating uncontrolled fire, accord-
ing to the U.S. Forest Service.
Six miles northeast of
Gainesville, the UF-owned
Austin Carey Memorial Forest is
used as a teaching laboratory to
demonstrate different aspects of
forest ecosystem management,
according to the university's Web
site. Part of the forest's use is to
show the effectiveness of con-
trolled burns.
Between five and 15 con-
trolled fires are set throughout
the forest per year, said Alan
Long, a UF associate professor
in the School of Forest Resources
and Conservation.
"We're going to be doing one
or two a week for the next couple
months,". Long said, citing the


dry, temperate winter months
between December and March
as the busiest time for controlled
fires.
There have been two
Gainesville-area brushfires in
the past two weeks, including a
30-acre blaze Monday in High
Springs.
"A 15- to 30-acre fire isn't
unusual."
Alan Long
UF associate professor

Although Gainesville is going
through a dry spell and concerns
have been raised about extra
standing brush from two hurri-
canes, Long said there is nothing
to be overly concerned about.
There are at least 10 fires of
that size per year in Alachua
County, Long said.
"A 15- to 30-acre fire isn't un-
usual," he said.
However, he cautioned that
the most dangerous months for
wildfires have yet to come. April
and May, when temperatures are
rising and summer rains have
yet to arrive, are the most active
times of year, Long said.
Ideally, a forest should have
these preventative burns every
four to eight years to keep foliage
at a healthy level, Long said.


Forest research organizations honor UF researchers


By SKYLER SMITH
Alligator Writer
ssmith@alligator.org

Two UF researchers have been honored
with awards from an international organi-
zation for their contributions to the field of
agroforestry.
The International Union of Forest Research
Organizations has announced UF professor
P.K. Nair as the recipient of its lifetime scien-
tific achievement award. John Bellow, a for-


"It's always gratifying to get recog-
nition from your peers, and espe-
cially from a world body like this."
P.K. Nair
UF agroforestry professor

mer graduate student of Nair's, was selected
as one of seven students worldwide who won
the outstanding doctoral dissertation award.
Agroforestry is the science of specified
management of land to allow for the simulta-


neous production of crops and trees.
This is the first time a professor and
graduate student from the same school have
won awards as well as the first-ever lifetime
achievement award for a UF professor from
the TUFRO, according to Nair.
"It's always gratifying to get recognition
from your peers, and especially from a world
body like this," he said.
Nair has been working in the field of agro-
forestry since its inception he was among
the founders of the International Center for


Research in Agroforestry in 1978, he said.
He is director of the UF Center for
Subtropical Agroforestry in addition to his
faculty position.
Bellow, who obtained his PhD at UF, spent
over two years in Guatemala working on his
dissertation on increasing small-farm pro-
ductivity by growing fruit trees with annual
crops.
Nair and Bellow will be accepting their
awards in August in Brisbane, Australia at the
12th IUFRO World Congress.

Trash fire sparks


pastureland blaze


iNO INJURIES WERE RE-
PORTED IN 20-ACRE FIRE.

By MEGAN V. WINSLOW
Alligator Writer
mwinslow@alligator.org
More than 20 acres of pasture-
land burned in a brushfire on
Thursday afternoon.
Residents of a home at 19001
NW County Road 239 started the
fire in a nearby field to dispose of
yard debris and trash, said Mark
Hughes, an Alachua County Fire
Rescue spokesman.
But what started as a controlled
bur quickly escalated and spread
due to dry brush and strong
winds.
"To make a pun, it liter-
ally spread like wildfire," Hughes
said.
Although residents initially
tried to douse the flames with the
aid of a tractor, their attempts were
unsuccessful.
They placed a call for emer-
gency services because of the
threat of structural damage to a


nearby home and utility structures
around 1 p.m.
Firefighters from four differ-
ent agencies, including Alachua
County, the town of LaCrosse
and the cities of High Springs and
Newberry, as well as the Florida
Division of Forestry, responded to
the call. Over a dozen fire-rescue
vehicles were present at the scene,
Hughes said.
Ultimately,
Public. firefighters used
bulldozers and four-
wheel-drive vehicles
to extinguish the blaze.
No injuries were reported and
aside from the charred remains of
several fence posts, damage was
minimal.
Due to seasonally dry climate,
which often contributes to the
rapid spread of uncontrolled fires,
Alachua County Fire Rescue urges
local residents to report any signs
of smoke or flames as soon as pos-
sible.
"The sooner we receive notice,
the easier it is for us to contain the
fire," Hughes said.

FSU has $9 million in budget up in the air


FSU, from page 1

Board of Governors is due to FSU
holding the rotating chairmanship of
the Florida Student Association.
Eady voted against denying ap-
proval for the school even though
critics say it could devalue the science
degrees earned by FSU's students.
Eady did not attend the meeting but
voted via telephone. Calls to his FSU
office Thursday were not returned.
UF Student Body President Jamal
Sowell said he would have voted with
the governors to kill the chiropractic
school had he held the rotating seat.
The chiropractic school was present-
ed to FSU as a fait accompli, or done
deal, last year when Sen. Dennis Jones
(R-Treasure Island), an ally of then-
Senate President Jim King, pushed the
legislature to approve the school. King
Slater maneuvered to funnel $9 million
annually to the chiropractic school
from state liquor taxes.
But the Board of Governors ruled in
October that FSU must get the board's
approval before building the school.
Since then, some lawmakers have
hinted the board could face legislative

retaliation if it opposed the school.
At the Thursday meeting, Roberts
played down those rumors.
"Whatever we vote here will not
hurt us in the legislature," she said.
"These are honorable people."
"Whatever we vote here will
not hurt us in the legislature.
These are honorable people."
Carolyn Roberts
Board of Governors chairwoman

But in a telephone interview, Sen.
Jones said he was disappointed by
the decision and questioned whether a
board of 14 members should be able to
defy the will of the legislature.
"Ten people, all volunteers, have
denied access to this education to hun-
dreds of students," he said. "That's not
something I think the voters of Florida
ever imagined would happen."
It is unclear what will now happen
to the $9 million FSU was given last
year for the school, or to a $1.75 mil-
lion endowment for an FSU eminent
scholar chair for chiropractic research.
Jones said he hoped to keep the $9
million in the budget and attempt to


bring the chiropractic-school proposal
back to the governors at a later date.
"It's a tremendous loss for FSU," he
said. "If FSU doesn't build it [the chi-
ropractic school], there will be a public
university somewhere in the country
that will be the first."
But not everyone from FSU was ea-
ger to continue fighting for the school.
FSU Provost Larry Abele was up-
beat and said in an interview he was
glad the struggle was finally over.
For months, Abele has straddled a
position of official neutrality between
a faculty widely opposed to the school
and a Board of Trustees led by allies of
the powerful legislators who pushed
for the school's creation last year.
Such allies include John Thrasher,
who was chairman of the FSU Board
of Trustees until its last meeting, and
Jim Smith, who was selected to suc-
ceed him. Both are Tallahassee lobby-
ists whose livelihoods depend on the
goodwill of state legislators.
Current Senate President Tom Lee,
who many see as a reformer, said Jan.
12 he wants to ban lobbyists from serv-
ing on such boards to avoid conflicts of
interest for those who "depend on the
state legislature to butter their bread."

SG to lower prices of

REITZ, from page 1

may allocate $75,000 to lower the price of student
tickets for performances at UF.
"We are providing concerts to the whole com-
munity," said Michael Blachly, associate dean for
resources and services at the College of Fine Arts.
"SG's support is critical to us because we reach the
student crowd through you (SG)."
The college plans to match the proposed dona-
tion. In the past two years, it has paid $100,000 to
lower the price of student tickets.
The committee argued too few students would
benefit, as not all students will see the shows, but
Blachly cited a large growth in student attendance
to counter the doubts.
"We increased student attendance by 938 per-
cent when we invested in lowering the price of
tickets for students," Blachly said. "More tickets
will be sold with our combined efforts to lower
the cost."
The Student Senate will vote on the proposals
Tuesday.

PUBLIC SAFETY

Batteries stolen at store


By MEGAN V. WINSLOW
Alligator Writer
mwinslow@alligator.org

In what appears to be a growing trend at
a local supermarket, two area men have been
arrested in connection with stealing alkaline
batteries, according to the Gainesville Police
Department.
Reports state both suspects preferred
pink-bunny performance instead of the
"Coppertop" crop.
Frederick Resha Warren, 19, of 6102
NW 26th Terrace, attempted to walk out of
the Publix supermarket at 1302 N Main St.
without paying for batteries he had allegedly
snatched off a shelf on aisle nine, according
to reports.
A Publix loss prevention officer watched
a man bend over his bookbag, a pack of
Energizer batteries in hand. Seconds later, the
officer lost sight of the merchandise, reports
state.
The man then went to the store's rest-


room, where he allegedly removed the bat-
teries from their packaging.
Upon recovering the discarded container
from the men's room, the officer confronted
Warren, reports state.
Although he originally suggested that
the packaging had accidentally come open
and he forgot about stowing the batteries
in his jacket pocket, Warren later admitted
he was -unable to afford the batteries, which
cost $7.99.
According to reports, Dustin Tyler St.
Johns, 34, was a little more ambitious in his
version of the events.
St. Johns, of 4135 Main St., was arrested
by the Florida Highway Patrol on Thursday
evening in connection with the theft of two
packages of Energizer batteries.
The alleged incident occurred at the same
Publix supermarket where the younger but
equally unsuccessful Warren had tried his
luck.
Both St. Johns and Warren have been
charged with misdemeanor offenses.


Red Cross proud

DONATION, from page 1

whole," Fields said. "You are our next
generation, and I am so proud about
this donation."
Fields said the UF community's
contribution to the Red Cross will go
toward providing immediate shelter,
food and first aid for tsunami vic-
tims.
"At first, the Red Cross is con-
cerned with meeting their immediate
needs, and after that the Red Cross
will step in on the long-term recovery
process," Fields said.
Although Fields appreciated the
generosity of the students, she ex-
pressed concern about matters here
at home.
"Locally, we need a lot of help,"
she said. "Services are simply needed.
When there is a fire, it doesn't matter
if it is a wealthy or poor family, the
Red Cross is there."
The North Central Florida Chapter
has nearly 300 volunteers and is re-
sponsible for providing services for
eight counties in both Florida and
Georgia, making it the largest geo-
graphical responsibility of any Red


of student efforts
Cross facility in the Southeast United
States.
A five-day U.N. conference in
Japan that concluded Saturday de-
termined a tsunami warning system
should be put in place for the South
Asia region within the next 12 to 18
months.
The conference also set up commu-
nication channels between nations to
share weather data, establish cleanup
and relief funds, and formulate re-
sponse strategies to help even the
odds between nature's unpredictabil-
ity and the human lives in its path.
The 8.9-magnitude earthquake on
Dec. 26 has resulted in the deaths of
hundreds of thousands of people in
South Asia.
Differing government tallies
have put the total number of dead
in 11 countries between 144,000 and
178,000. As many as 147,000 people
are missing many of them pre-
sumed dead raising the possibility
that more than 300,000 died.
All told, governments and inter-
national bodies have pledged about
$4 billion for tsunami aid-and recon-
struction.
The Associated Press contributed to
this report.

Senior, freshman combination contributes half of team's rebounds


BASKETBALL, from page 24


uct of a conscious attempt to improve.
"I talked to Al and the other bigs," Lee said. "And we've
just been trying to make a concerted effort to dominate the
paint and make a stride on the boards this year."
Lee, who had one of his best performances last season
against the Gamecocks with 21 points and 14 rebounds in a
65-62 UF win, has had some inconsistent offensive perfor-


mances while averaging 12 points per game. But Coach Billy
Donovan said the senior is the type of player who shouldn't
be judged on his point total but on his ability to pull down
12 to 15 rebounds per game and improve the play of his sur-
rounding teammates by attracting the defense's attention.
"That's why I'm so proud of the way David is playing
right now," Donovan said. "Because it's not all about points,
and it's not all about scoring. It's about making other play-
ers better."
And who other than Lee's freshman partner in basketball
repossession benefits more from his presence?


Donovan said he notices opponents so concerned with
boxing out Lee that Horford often can swoop in for the re-
bound. And just as often, Lee will draw a double team to
leave Horford free on a put-back opportunity.
Lee likened the situation to his underclassman experi-
ence playing with Matt Bonner.
"When I was a sophomore, and Matt Bonner was getting
the double teams, and Matt Bonner was getting the atten-
tion, I was able to get some good rebounds on the outside,"
Lee said. "I think Al is really taking great advantage of that
right now."


Weekend will be critical for rising stars


RECRUITING, from page 24

Scout.com, have expressed desire to play together.
"I love Coach Meyer's system because he runs
the same thing I ran in high school," Jackson said..
"I think I'd do well ... but the main thing I'm look-
ing for is a comfortable environment."
Jackson lists UF, LSU, Oklahoma State, Notre
Dame and Texas as his final candidates.
Also making the trip will be Daytona Beach
Mainland High teammates Avery Atkins and
Brian Ellis. Atkins is ranked the No. 5 defensive
back in the nation by Scout.com, while Ellis, a tight
end, is ranked No. 22.
Atkins has been an undecided commitment to


UF for some time, and Meyer and his staff can take
solace in the fact that they'll be his final official vis-
it. At 5-foot-11, 185 pounds and 4.5 speed, Atkins is
also friends with visiting linebacker Jon Demps.
While the recruiting process will conclude
on National Signing Day on Wednesday, Meyer
has been keeping tabs on UF's recruiting process
throughout January.
"The more recruiting weekends I've gone
through, I've had the chance to talk to the student-
athletes because I want to learn as much as I could
about this university," Meyer said. "It's not a good
university, it's a great university, and I look for-
ward to finishing this recruiting year strong."
Oral commitments are non-binding until a national
letter-of-intent is signed on National Signing Day on
Wednesday.


SHAF, from page 24


5 points. Impressively, all came on
the road.
Led by the SEC's highest per-
centage shooter in Carlos Powell,
South Carolina doesn't do anything
spectacular, but does everything
well. They will keep the game close
and try to steal it toward the end.
But not if UF comes out ready
to play. The Gators are bigger, more
athletic and possess better shooters


than the Gamecocks.
We have seen glimpses of a
team on the rise, but its history of
inconsistency casts a constant cloud
of doubt over the O'Dome. If UF is
to continue its maturation into a
legitimate Tournament contender,
this is the type of game it needs to
show it can win.
Many will look to Tuesday
night's game in Starkville as a
barometer for the Gators, but
Saturday's performance against
South Carolina will tell me all I
need to know.

atorsb softball opens season with doubleheader


* UF WILL FACE FLORIDA INTERNA-
TIONAL AND FLORIDA ATLANTIC.

By WILLIS JACOBSON
Alligator Writer

"First thing's first" is the motto of the
2005 UF softball team. While the phrase
serves as a reminder to focus on the basics
and take each game one at a time, the Gators
will get their first real "first" of the season
this Saturday in Miami.
The' Gators will open the season at the
Sunshine State Softball Kickoff with a
doubleheader against Florida Atlantic and
host-team Florida International. Leading a
squad that is returning nine starters from a
year ago, fifth-year coach Karen Johns says


her team is anxious to get out and play.
"I think they're real excited for Saturday
and just getting that opening day out in
front of us here and seeing how we stack
up against outside competition," Johns said.
"Overall, I think the team is very excited for
it."
Second baseman Savana Kelly, in par-
ticular, will be even more excited than usual.
The freshman from Ft. Lauderdale will be
playing her first collegiate game only min-
utes away from her hometown.
"My whole family is coming down and
they'll be there so I'm kind of playing in
front of a home crowd but not, so it's really
exciting for me," Kelly said.
Noting that she was recruited by FIU,
Kelly says that she will have extra mo-


tivation' to play well against the Golden
Panthers this weekend.
The fate of the Gators, though, will likely
hinge on the performance of their pitching
staff, led by sophomore
ace Stacey Stevens.
"Stacey is going to lead
the way for us, but we're
looking more towards this
group to give us their indi-
vidual efforts, and I think
combined the group will
Johns do well for us," Johns said.
"Each one brings a differ-
ent element that we're looking for and we'll
move them in and out accordingly to the
competition that we're playing."
The probable starters for Saturday's


games will be seniors Amanda Knowles and
Mandy Schuerman, respectively.
UF will enter the 2005 season unranked
but receiving votes in both major polls.
The Southeastern Conference Preseason
Coaches poll projected UF to finish third in
the Eastern Division.
The Gators will play FAU at 11:00 a.m.
and FIU at 1:30 p.m. Both games will take
place at the University Park Softball Field on
the FIU campus in Miami.
This is UF's first meeting with FAU
since the Owls ended their 2003 season by.
knocking them out of the NCAA regional
in Gainesville. The all-time series is tied at
three games apiece. This will be UF's first
matchup with FIU since 2002. The Golden
Panthers lead the all-time series 2-1.


TENNIS

Jackson calls for more discipline against top teams


By NATASHA WEINSTEIN and
KATE CAVANNA
Alligator Writers

It's going to be a busy weekend
for the UF men's tennis team.
Beginning today at 4 p.m., the
men will host unranked Furman,
then travel on Saturday to Duke for
their first match against a top-ten
team on Sunday.
Coach Andy Jackson hopes this
afternoon's match sees the Gators
play better than last week, despite
their 7-0 opening victory.
"I'd like to see across the board
more discipline made on the court
that is absolutely necessary against
top-ten teams," Jackson said. "We've
had good quality practices, I feel like
we've made preparations to play
Furmnn and ultimately Duke on the
racd. So far, it's been a good week."
After losing to Central Florida,
top-seeded pair Hamid Mirzadeh
and Chris Brandi spent most of this


week reverting to the basics of dou-
bles tennis and re-acquainting them-
selves with playing together. Their
last match together was during the
NCAA quarterfinals last May.
"I'm pretty confident that me
and Chris will get back to our nor-
mal ways for Furman," Mirzadeh
said. "They've had good doubles
teams the past few years, so it will
be a good match."
While the Gators are heavily
favored, Jackson said the Furman
team will be more disciplined than
Central Florida, as they are led by a
top coach, Paul Scarpa.
"I don't believe in planning
that things are going to be easy;
I'm expecting that it's going to be
much closer and harder fought
than UCF," Jackson said. "Furman
is hard-nosed, solid, disciplined
and often pulls big upsets. They are
dangerous."
After the Furman match, the
team will focus on Sunday's meeting


against No. 9 Duke. Besides playing
a top-ranked team, another first for
the season will be that the match
will take place indoors. Jackson said
it will be good preparation for the
upcoming team indoor competition.
"I'm pretty confident that
me and Chris will get back
to our normal ways for
Furman. They've had good
doubles teams the past
few years, so it will be a
good match."
Hamid Mirzadeh
UF tennis player


"It's going to be loud in there and
the freshmen are going to have to
deal with the pressure of loud col-
lege fans in their face," Mirzadeh
said. "I'm excited this is my first big
test as the leader, and I'm hoping I


can bring my team to victory."

WOMEN WIN: Looking for its first
official win of the season,.the UF
women's tennis team took on the
UCF Golden Knights Thursday
night in a windy match at the Ring
Tennis Complex.
Coach Roland Thornqvist
changed the doubles positions,
moving junior Jennifer Magley and
senior Zerene Reyes to the No. 2
spot after they played at Nd. 1 in
their opening match against Baylor.
Freshmen Lolita Frangulyan and
Whitney Benik, ranked third in the
country, took the No. 1 spot, and
sophomore Nina Suvak and fresh-
man Alex Liles played at No. 3.
The move to No. 2 did not slow
Magley and Reyes, as they defeated
Becky Gordon and Ola Luczak 8-0.
Frangulyan and Benik domi-
nated in the early stages of their No.
3 match, gaining points with Benik's
quick net work and ball placement.


The pair began to struggle in the
fifth game, floating up too many
balls, which their opponents, UCF's
Pamela Fernandez and Kristina
Lohmos returned with punishing
overheads. The pair fought hard
in a back-and-forth match, finally
defeating UCF 8-5.
In the No. 3 spot, Suvak and
Liles again showed their power as
a doubles team. The duo quickly
went ahead 3-0 before allowing
UCF's Megan Hunter and Jennifer
Carati to climb their way back to 3-2.
The Gators won the sixth game and
dominated the rest of the match, not
allowing UCF to win another game
and taking the set 8-2.
The Gators won all six singles
matches, with only Frangulyan hav-
ing any trouble, taking her match to
a tiebreaker. She won the match 3-6,
6-3, 10-3, finishing the 7-0 sweep.
UF will see its next action on
Saturday at 1 p.m. against Florida
International.

Intense challenge awaits UF in stronger Alabama


B THE TIDE'S ASHLEY MILES HAS
ALREADY WON SEC GYMNAST OF
THE WEEK TWICE THIS YEAR.

By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer
dtreat@alligator.org

UF coach Rhonda Faehn has made it
very clear this season: the Gators' oppo-
nent is of little or no consequence to her
and her team.
This week, she went so far as to say that
she wasn't even sure if the Gators knew
where they were ranked.
After dropping to No. 12 after the sea-
son opener, UF has climbed all the way
back to No. 5 after last week's victory over
Nebraska.
The Gators now face their stiffest chal-
lenge yet this season as they welcome
No. 4 Alabama to the O'Connell Center
tonight.
"We're not as a team looking at that at
all," Faehn said. "What we're trying to do
this week in the gym is trying to fix the
small things from last week and continue
to keep pushing hard."
The Alabama team that UF defeated
three weeks ago in the Super Six Challenge
is vastly different from the squad the
Crimson Tide will bring in this time
around.
Alabama's Ashley Miles, who won the
vault, floor exercise and all-around at the
Super Six Challenge, followed up that per-
formance by being named Southeastern

one of three Gators to compete in the all-around tonight, holds UF's highest individual


score on beam this season (9.95).
Conference Gymnast of the Week the past
two weeks.
The Crimson Tide have also added
Olympian Terin Humphrey to the mix.
She won two silver medals in Athens
this summer: one in the team competition
and one on uneven bars.
Humphrey will compete on uneven
bars and balance beam tonight against the
Gators.


The Gators' lineup will be nearly iden-
tical to the one they trotted out against
Nebraska last Friday.
Freshman Ashley Reed and sopho-
mores Breanne King and Katie Rue will
again be the three all-around performers
for the Gators.
Rue's score of 39.35 last week was the
Gators' highest scoring performance this
season.


UF seniors Erinn Dooley and Orley
Szmuch will again be limited in their ac-
tion this week.
Dooley is still being hampered ry a
stress fracture in her foot.
"This week, her bar practices have gone
much better," Faehn said. "Probably the
best they've been all year.
"I'm sure last week [when she had an
exhibition fall on bars] was difficult for
her, but I think that it was beneficial."'
Faehn said she would still compete on
balance beam in addition to another exhi-
bition on uneven bars.
Szmuch competed in the all-around
at the Super Six Challenge but has not
returned to the event since because of a
lingering ankle injury.
Faehn said she eventually will return
to competing in the all-around, but the
coaching staff is going to continue holding
her off the floor exercise.
Tracey Rai will return to the floor
lineup after sitting out last week ag. nst
Nebraska.
It will likely be at least another week
before All-American Chantelle Tousek
returns to the main lineup as well. Faehn
said that is because of difficult skills.
"She did an excellent job on balance
beam last week," Faehn said. "The biggest
thing is that in her routines, she has brand
new skills that are of such high difficulty
and risk factor that I want to be able to
put her under the pressure situations on
numerous occasions before she actually
gets plugged into the lineup."


ators can't contain Georgia


By MICHAEL MAURINO
Alligator Writer
mmaurino@alligator.org

The UF women's basketball had a chance to dis-
tance itself from the Southeastern Conference pack
Thursday and beat a rival in the process. But, after a
fast start, UF fizzled and lost at Georgia, 81-61.
The Gators (12-7, 3-3 SEC) dominated the first
five minutes, jumping out to a 15-5 lead. Once
Georgia (16-5, 5-2 SEC) took the lead with about
three minutes left in the first half, the Bulldogs
never looked back.
Tasha Humphrey recorded 21 points and nine
rebounds for Georgia. Coach Carolyn Peck said.UF
contained the freshman, but Georgia eventually
found a way to get her touches.
"We were making it as difficult as you possibly
can for Tasha Humphrey to get the ball inside,"
Peck said. "That's how Georgia came back into
the game, they figured out a way to get her the ball
inside and she was able to finish."
Peck said she was proud of her team's effort.
Despite the final score, she feels better about
the team now than after last Sunday's loss to
Mississippi. She added that Thursday's game was
very physical, which benefited Georgia. So physi-
cal, in fact, UF's leading scorer, Bemice Mosby,
came away with a sore shoulder and a gash on her
face.
Mosby was again the leading scorer, with 25
points on 8 of 18 shooting.'Only one other Gator,
senior Tamia Williams, finished in double figures
with 14 points.


UF's reserves pitched in 7 points versus 34 for
Georgia. Dressing.only nine due to injured guards
Kim Dye and Danielle Santos, it seemed like it
was only a matter of time before the lack of depth
caught up with UF.

"[Depth] plays a factor, but I know the
girls on our bench are tough. It was
just a night where they couldn't get it
going."
Bernice Mosby
UF forward


Mosby disagrees.with that assessment saying
that the bench players played good defense, but
their shots were not falling.
"[Depth] plays a factor, but I know the girls on
our bench are tough," Mosby said. "It was just a
night where they couldn't get it going."
The Gators had several chances in the second
half. Down 31-29 at halftime, UF would tie the
game with free throws from junior Dalila Eshe
less than a minute into the second half. Georgia
began an 8-0 run on the next possession, but UF
nearly eliminated the lead, trimming the deficit to
45-43 with 13 minutes left. That was as close as they
would get to a win.
"We got the momentum back at times," said
Williams of UF's second-half play. "But basketball
is a game of runs, and bottom line is they had the
last run."

Serious opponents


precede title meet


* THE GATORS WILL FACE
VIRGINIA AND TENNESSEE.

By BRIAN STEELE
Alligator Writer

Procrastination isn't an option
for the Gators.
UF is less than a month away
from the Southeastern Conference
championship, otherwise known
as crunch time for the men's and
women's swimming and div-
ing teams. With the impending
conference championship, this
weekend's meets against Virginia
(ranked No. 10 and 12 in the men's
and women's CSCAA polls, re-
spectively) and Tennessee (No. 17
in the men's poll) are final warm-
ups for No. 3 UE.
Coach Gregg Troy believes that
although Virginia is the best team
in the Atlantic Coast Conference,
the Gators must not sleep on
conference rival Tennessee either.
Since the Volunteers have never
beaten the Gators before, it will
serve as an extra motivational fool
for Tennessee.
"We've never lost to Tennessee,
and I think that bothers them,"
Troy said. "Tennessee will come in
fired up and ready to go. They've
had their best teams in years.
Virginia is by far the best team
-in-the ACC, and it's a-real ehal-


lenge facing a conference rival in
Tennessee the next day."
However, Troy still has his
teams focused on the overall pic-
ture, saying that this is not the time
for the Gators to lose ground.
"Sometimes you improve in
times, and sometimes it's in tech-
nical improvements," Troy said.
"We want continued improvement
from week to
S, week so we
have a good
mental state for
conference."
The Gators
are still looking
for their stron-
gest formula
Troy
and may tweak
the line-ups this weekend in order
to find that.
"We're making final decisions
on where we put swimmers in
conference," he said. "You may not
see our strongest line-ups."
While UF does have its sig t set
on the final stages of conference
and NCAA play, Troy is still aware
that Virginia will be prepared
for one of its bigger meets of the
season.
"Virginia is very well-coached,"
he said. "It's an opportunity for
them to beat one of the best teams
in the country. We need ft be
aware of that and treat them like
anyone else."

Lee, Horford play tough down low

By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
bapp@alligator.org

For forward David Lee, the losses were miser-
able. But the way in which they were incurred be-
came intolerable.
Lee noticed a distinct and frustrating pattern in
his team's defeats last season.
"The most consistent thing we got killed in
was rebounding," Lee said. "It was game in and
game out in the [Southeastern Conference]. When
we'd lose, we'd get out-rebounded by 15 rebounds
against the bigger teams."
Coming into his senior season, Lee crafted a mis-
sion statement for himself and his teammates.
"I said, 'If we're going to lose, let's try not to
make it because of our defense
or our rebounding, let's make it
because we had an off-shooting
night."'
And so far, those words have
amounted to more than mere
4%, rhetoric for the Gators (12-4, 4-1
'SEC).
SLee After finishing last season
seventh in the SEC in offensive
Srebounding and eighth in defensive rebounding,
UF has improved to fourth and second in those
A respective categories this season while increasing
a league-seventh-best 0.8 rebounding margin to a
second-best 7.2.
Such development has led the Gators to double-
digit rebounding advantages and consequently lop-
sided wins at Vanderbilt and against a Georgia team
that tried to limit their running style of offense.
Saturday at 1 p.m., the Gators, led by Lee and
freshman forward Al Horford, again look to control
the boards when they face perhaps their most dif-
ficult conference opponent thus far, South Carolina
(11-6, 3-3 SEC).
While the Gators have out-rebounded their last
i1 three opponents by an average of 18.3 per game, Lee
and Horford have combined for nearly half of UF's
Matt Marriott/ Alligator Staff total rebounds.
UF's Al Horford has played a crucial role in UF's rebounding resurgence According to Lee, the difference is just the prod-
this season. Horford ranks 10th in the SEC in rebounding. SEE BASKETBALL, PAGE 21


Recruits


to tour UF
By ERIC ESTEBAN

The Gators are on the clock.
Coach Urban Meyer and staff have
reached the recruiting equivalent of foot-
ball's two-minute drill, as they will host
their final group of visitors this weekend.
"About six or seven hours after
the Fiesta Bowl ended, I was
already recruiting. It's hard to
compete against the in-state
programs and the SEC, but I
really do believe that we have
the best product out there."
Urban Meyer
UF football coach

The final weekend of what has proved
to be a hectic first month for the new staff
in Gainesville will feature more than 10
recruits visiting for a sneak peek of what
wearing orange and blue is all about.
"About six or seven hours after the
Fiesta Bowl ended, I was already re-
cruiting," said Meyer, who appeared on
Sunshine Network on Wednesday.
Playing relationships will be the
key to success this weekend, as visiting
prospects include several teammates and
out-of-state recruits who have openly ex-
pressed their desire to play together.

back R.J. Jackson and wide receiver

Gators shouldn't overlook Gamecocks in preparation for Bulldogs


T he ship has been righted.
Every team has a hiccup every here
and there, right?
An overtime conference loss on the road
doesn't look so bad after a 23-point thrashing
of Georgia (or was that South Atlanta High?)
on national television.
Matt Walsh has shown Terrell Owens that
miraculous recoveries are possible.
Anthony Roberson has picked his game
up to nationally recognized status. David Lee
is banging the boards like never before. And
Al Horford looks like the second coming of


Udonis Haslem.
The Gators now sit at 4-1 in Southeastern
Conference play, good enough for second in
the East.
So, gas up the plane, and it's off to Starkville
for a date with the powerhouse Bulldogs.
What is that you say? Another game? Oh,
but that's just South Carolina. And thus,.the
infamous "trap" game is born.
Call it what you want a look ahead, the
sandwich, an oversight but a game such as
the one UF will play on Saturday is the most
dangerous kind on any team's schedule.

Sure, the players
all say the right things
and will be prepared by
coaches who have seen
this scenario hundreds
of times. But, there is
no way to tell if UF has

That's when the Board of Governors, which oversees Florida's 11 public universities, voted 10 to 3 to deny its approval, breaking the back of an effort to build what would have been the first chiropractic school at an American public ni-mversity After hearing arguments, most of the board members said its construction would not be a valuable use of scarce state resources.

To combat the "vintage" look of the hotel, the SG budget committee approved a $500,000 loan to the union. The money will be used to renovate bathrooms designed almost 40 years ago, as well as replace worn-out curtains, carpets and bedspreads from the '80s. "Currently, the hotel is old and developer, said FSU failed to present clear and convincing evidence that the school is needed. And Steven Uhlfelder, a Tallahassee lobbyist, said the plan has been a political power play without real merit for either FSU or the State University System. He added that the Board of Governors should move on to important subjects such as the inadequacy of Roberts higher education finding. In his last budget recommendation, Gov.

The Interfraternity and Panhellenic councils formally presented the North Central Florida Chapter of the Red Cross with a $7,500 check for tsunami disaster relief Thursday at 4 p.m. The contribution is a result of the efforts of the Greek community as well as the generosity of the entire UF student body. "It really exceeded our expectations," said Chris Ferrante, service director for IFC. "The student body really showed out in big support. We were only expecting a couple thousand dollars at best. It took so long to even count the money; even the pocket change and everything helped. We were pretty much overwhelmed." Ferrante noted that IFC did not get the check to the Red Cross sooner because the Red Cross had been "so busy" accepting donations.

By BRIAN HAGEN Alligator Writer bhagen@alligator.org It took $200 to silence about 500 attendees the first time. Mark Walker of Mercantile Bank, corporate sponsor of the annual meeting dinner of the Gainesville Area Chamber of Commerce, announced that one of the room's 500 travel cups held a winning ticket for that amount. The noisy crowd went silent as hands rushed to grab for the travel cups at every setting. The evening's second and third silences came after dinner courtesy of UF President Bernie Machen and Katherine Pierce, who assumed her position Thursday evening as the 2005 chair of the Chamber of Commerce. Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan, city and county commissioners, and hundreds of Gainesville business representatives listened to them both closely. Machen also announced his aspiration to double the size of UF's research ambitions, continuing to pursue his vision of elevating UF among the top ten universities in the nation. "I want to recruit scientists and scholars," Machen said. However, while expanding the research side of UF, Machen plans to maintain current enrollment levels. "Forty-nine thousand is plenty big," he said. The proposed growth for U F means the need for a new infrastructure, new buildings and a solution to Gainesville's traffic problem. "The University of Florida must be the stimulant for economic development," Machen said. UF-spawned technologies have created six companies that have brought half a billion dollars and 2,000 jobs to Florida, he said. He intends to keep these businesses in Gainesville to keep jobs and money within the community. "The next decade is going to be of great excitement to us," Machen said. Pierce's new position was announced by her predecessor, 2004 Chamber Chairman Charles "Chic" Holden, who Called her my right hand" and a constant source for good advice. Machen .P 1 e r c e introdu cad her theme for the year, "Business is Good," emphasizing the business community must increase its participation in local government. "They are not mind-readers, Pieice said of the city and county officials. "Show up at meetings. At least send an e-mail. You must let them know what you want." "Not speaking up is like not voting," Pierce added. The Chamber succeeded in its goal of increasing diversity in 2004. Over the past year, the Chamber's newly created Diversity Task Force brought to its board three new African-Ainerican members, two Hispanics and two women, Holden said. It also expanded membership with 198 new members, bringing the group's net increase in members to 100, Holden added. By STEPHANIE GARRY AND EMILY YEHLE Alligator Staff Writers After striking down a pet project of last year's legislative leaders, the Board of Governors defied the statehouse again by voting not to fund a $5.4 million recommended construction project for a community college. After the vote against a chiropractic program at FSU, Board member Steve UhIfelder questioned funding St. PetersburgCollege, a community college the board doesn't govern. "Why can't we turn them down on this?" Uhlfelder asked his colleagues. "It's not our responsibility to look after St. Pete College." Board Chairwoman Carolyn Roberts questioned if refusing legislative wishes was wise at a time when the State University System is short on cash, but the board voted against the funding by one vote. The board voted to delegate distribution of the $5.4 million to the Department of Education. Should UF receive some of that money, it would help fund a new life sciences building at the university, Interim Provost Joe Glover said. UF got more than $5 million in additional funds after Public Education Capital Outlay revenue projections increased by $46.9 million. PECO funds Florida public university construction UF projects. Administration UF now expects a total of $64.2 million for maintenance, an emergency power system and two new interdisciplinary research facilities over the next three years. "This is growing research," said Ed Poppell, UF vice president for finance and administration. "That is our focus." If the Florida Legislature includes the construction funding recommended by the Board of Governors in its 2005-06 state budget, UF should receive $40.6 million around July 1, he said.

"Black Greeks and white Greeks in particular need to come togetherand do more things together," Jones said.

Kappa Sigma fraternity pledge Peter Kasser said, "Of course hazing is a major issue; I'm glad he recognizes it. He put a historical perspective on it." Jones said he wants the Greek community to help students live successfully. "Either the fraternity or sorority makes you, or you help to make the fraternity or sorority," he said.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 2005 0 ALLIGATOR, 5 STUDENT scFE UF admw .students dominate mock trial competition By LAURA JONES -Alligator Contributing Writer Months of preparation culminated in a victory last week for students from the UF Levin College of Law at the annual Florida Bar Mock Trial team competition held in Miami. Nine schools from around the state, including the University of Miami, Stetson University, Florida Coastal University and Barry University, brought two teams to partic-. ipate in the competition, held Jan. 19 and 20. The competition consisted of four full trials, with each team taking turns to represent the plaintiff and the defendant. Two federaldistrict judges presided over the trial, playing referee for the competition, said Chris King, one of the team captains. "They ran it just like they would run their courtroom on a typical day," King said. The team with the most points after each trial would move on to the next trial. "It's just like the NCAA tournament. If you win you move on, and if you don't you're out," King said. After winning in the semifinal rounds, the two UF teams had to face off in the finals. "We were just all really excited and thrilled to be able to do that," King said. "As far as we know, it hadn't happened before, so we were excited." The team of King, Paul Vicary, Gregory Edwards and Najah Gibson won first place. King, a third-year law student, received best advocate honors. Other UF team members included Loreal Belfon, Claudel Pressa, Chris "The success of this team is really a testament to what happens when talented students are willing to work hard towards achieving a single goal." Nick Zissimopulos Law Office of Rush & Glassman attorney Chestnut and Natalie Hanan. Stacey Steinberg, an assistant state attorney in Alachua County, and Nick Zissimopulos, an attorney with the Law Office of Rush & Glassman in Gainesville coached the teams. "In order to prepare for this tournament, the students began practicing in October of last year," Zissimopulos said. "With an average of four practices per week, as well as individual work, each student was required to devote hundreds of hours of preparation outside of their regular school schedules." The team ended its trip with a celebration at a restaurant in Coconut Grove and left Miami with more experience under their belts. King said this victory was especially sweet because last year the UF team was out of the running shortly after the competition began. Zissimopulos said that most importantly, students learned the value and importance of a strong work ethic. "The success of this team is really a testament to what happens when talented students are willing to work hard toward achieving a single goal," Zissimopulos said. 4.1 0 10 9,1 'Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" Financial Accounting class gets academic makeover By JULIE ANNE MCADAMS .Alligator Contributing Writer Financial Accounting at UF has received a facelift in an attempt to make it more relevant and attractive to students. "Students think accounting is boring and it's a pain to come to class," Financial Accounting assistant professor Haijin Lin, said. "We are trying to change that." In the past, three multiple-choice exams made up most of the class grades. Students in Financial Accounting now have homework and quizzes to help balance their scores. An optional lab session also meets every other Friday, where teaching assistants answer questions and give practice quizzes. Lin agrees with the revisions to the course, saying the class was too mechanical before. Now she tries to relate her teaching to the real world of business. "If you just mechanically apply the rules, you miss out," Lin said. Sophomore finance major Ashley Aplin said Financial Accounting is the weed-out class. She admits she heard the course was difficult from many people. "I was really scared to take it at first," Aplin said. "Everyone made it seem like it was imnpossible to do well or even pass." Lin said she believes this kind of input from friends can hurt the confidence of a potential Financial Accounting students before they even register for the class. "We worry about the misperceptions of this course," she said. "We are trying to conquer this." Aplin said she was surOn priced at her positive reaction Ca i to the course. "This class has made me realize that this is what I want to do. I like it," she said. "I think Professor Lin is covering the material really well in lecture. My teaching assistant is great too. He fills in the blanks that aren't explained well enough in lecture." According to Lin, the class was designed to be difficult but not impossible. Some students simply do not take the course seriously. Lin said she believes studentswho take the course seriously are the ones who come to class and will do well in the end. "Financial Accounting cannot be learned overnight," Lin said. "It takes a good institution of knowledge." Lin said she does not think the new -routine demands too much from students. "They can take what we give them," Lin said. "They just need to work hard from the beginning." I

6, ALLIGATOR R FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 2005 The Department of Darts & Laurels had planned a slate of pressing, important issues for today. This space was to be full of national intrigue, civil rights battles and a healthy portion of good old controversy. But then, Floridians collectively decided to be morons yet again. This week, we're going to bring you the best (or worst) of the ridiculous things denizens of the Sunshine State chose to do, from the silly to the just plain idiotic. Who wants to hear real news anyway? That's what "The Daily Show" is for. So put on a dissaproving look, raise your eyebrow and get ready to point your finger as we chuckle scornfully into this week's edition of. Darts & Laures5 Because tales of actual school violence just aren't good enough for us anymore, we give a there's-a-way-to-effectively-use-law-enforcement-resources DART to Ocala Police for arresting two special education students on second-degree felony charges, accusing them of drawing pictures "for the sole purpose of intimidating and scaring" another student. The boys, ages 9 and 10, made drawings in pencil and red crayon depicting a 10-year-old classmate dying in various ways. If the students are charged as adults -which no longer seems like such an impossible idea -they could face up to 15 years in prison. In similar news, FBI investigators are still perplexed over a case in which a kindergarten student has fled the country to escape prosecution. The student, who was the subject of a nationwide manhunt, faces a possible life sentence if convicted of calling his teacher a "doodyhead." As the last remnants of hanging chads and misplaced absentee ballots were finally slipping out of the nation's collective consciousness, we toss a yes-we'd-love-to-hear-moreaboet-the-lectioni-four-years-ago DART to Theresa LePore, former Palm Beach County election supervisor, for announcing she is writing a book on her exploits as butterfly-ballot champion. Le~ore, who has been milking the subject for her own gain a la Monica Lewinsky since 2000, expects the book to be a big success -though she said she can't promise whether pre-ordering customers will receive their first choice of blue or red covers. While we close our eyes and try extra hard to pretend our state hasn't transformed into one giant episode of "The Simpsons," we hurl a yes-the-voters-really-meant-it-this-time DART to some Florida legislators for continuing to think the high-speed rail is a good idea. The state lawmakers who are waiting to see if the federal transportation budget includes funding for the rail evidently missed the last meeting, in which the huddled masses realized Epcot's Futureland section is not the best model for Florida's development. But finally, just when we thought IQs in "America's wang" (thanks, Homer) had dropped to their lowest, one group actually decided to take a step 'forward on the evolutionary ladder. Because we love to say "We told you so," we gratiously present an at-least-somebody-in-this-crazy-place-remembered-their-helmet LAUREL to the Board of Governors for voting to kill FSU's proposed chiropractic school. Regardless of the possible merits of chiropractics as a practice, the proposal scoffed at the idea of faculty, student and university approval and instead came into being when senator and chiropractor Jim King said "Make it so."

Opinions ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/opinions TbecK ar TV becom-'iiing a rE,%petitive wasteland hanks to the insanely cold weather, I've recently stayed indoors a lot more. This has led to a horrifying discovery about the state of television: it's awful. TV, for the most part, has become unwatchable. The first thing I noticed was even the commercials have hit a new low. Not counting the various local news ads that warn me, "Something could be killing you right now, tune in at 11 to find out what it is," there are only about five different commercials that run in Gainesville. Not only are they all on constantly, but all of them are terrible. I have seen that horrid hsventTech comntercial about 18 million times and unintentionally have it memorized: "Everybody laughed at my pot that cooked and drained pasta; If I had the patent, I'd be rich." It won't be long before I start having nightmares about it: "Snap your fingers, turn on the lights -that was my idea, but now Satan will eat your soul." Worse than the commercials are the actual TV shows themselves. Not only are they bad, but I think I can place almost every show on TV right now in one of four categories. First there are the New Age detective shows in which most of the program is spent in a lab where generic, underdeveloped characters make smarmy remarks about evidence that will help them find who's been killing all the neighborhood cats. CBS alone has something like 14,000 shows in tids genre, and they're all on Thursday. "CSI," "CSI: Miami," "CSI: New York," "NCIS," "Cold Case," "Without a Trace," "Nunb3rs," and the brand new "CSI: Sri Lanka" -come on, tell me you wouldn't watch -all fit the bill. Then there are the homogenous sitcoms starring crappy, usually fat, white comedians, who always have a ridiculously hot wife. The prototype for this kind of show has to be "The King of Queens," also on CBS. You're telling me Kevin James could ever hook up with Leah Remini? Really? Maybe I could believe it, maybe, if his character wasn't so boorish and obnoxious. Another unfortunate trend is the list show perpetuated by VH1. These programs take any random Andrew Meyer topic (i.e. "The 100 Most Outrageous Uncommon Sense Moments of January 4th") and get Dletters@altgator.org list celebrities to comment on them. Actually, they don't even need a list anymore now that they've created the monstrosity known as "Best Week Ever." Now, we can get instant commentary "I Love the 80s"-style from Michael Ian Black on things that happened the previous week. Watching this would be the fastest way to kill an hour and a bunch of brain cells, were it not for the reality TV craze. Ah yes, reality TV. The bane of the boob tube, reality TV is what has truly ruined television -perhaps forever. I don't know who deserves more of the blame for this-MTV, CBS or FOX. Everyone knows MTV's "The Real World" essentially birthed reality TV, but the astounding success of CBS's "Survivor," which I admittedly watched, is what sparked reality TV's expansion. Personally, I hold FOX responsible. Why? Because they took reality TV and made certain that it would appeal to the lowest common denominator: "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire?" "Temptation Island," "American Idol," "My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancee," -the list goes on and on. FOX guaranteed you won't be able to turn on any of the major networks without wantirng to kill their executives. I say forget TV. Who needs it? "The Sopranos" is on DVD now anyway.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 2005 9 ALLIGATOR, 7 Sexual assault victim responds to letter Editor: As a former victim of sexual assault, I must say David Tarabocchia's letter was disturbing to read on Thursday. It amazes me how ignorant some people can be about rape, sexual assault, the causes of it and who is responsible. These crimes will never cease to take place if people continue to make excuses. Rape and sexual assault are crimes and should never be mistaken for anything else. If a woman wears an outfit that is provocative, it doesn't give a man the right to rape her. She has a right to wear whatever she feels is appropriate and, if a man cannot control himself, then he needs to seek therapy -not justify it by raping her. If she says "no" at any point during a sexual interaction, it means "no." Sadly, there are women in the world who think it is all right to claim rape when it did not occur. A recent example of this is Kobe Bryant's "rape" case. These women are sick and they hurt the real women in the world who have been raped. Yet, these few cases of women screaming for attention should not be used as examples to justify rape. As for your crude "take responsibility" example, I have one thing to say: Unlike a car, a woman can not lock her body. You can protect your car from being stolen by locking the doors or buying an alarm, no matter how much of a "burden" that is. What society needs to do is change its views on rape and sexual assault as a whole. Women do need to be responsible. Yet, rapists also have to take responsibility for their actions. Society needs to make them see violating somebody else's body never is justifiable. Editor's note: The author's name has been withheld at her request to protect her privacy. U M M Students lose if they do not vote locally Editor: Campaign season is here again. No, it's not time for the flashy state and national campaigns but time for real politics: local elections. Every year, students hear the same plea to get involved, but it always falls upon deaf ears. Voters aged 18-25 consistently have among the the lowest turnouts of all groups, but it finally caught up with them in Ocala. Tuesday night the Ocala City Commission took a stand against underage drinking by approving an ordinance banning anyone under 21 from going to bars or clubs. Dozens of students and youths piled into the coimmission chambers to argue their case, but the war had already been lost at the polls. Had youth in Ocala taken a few moments out of their time to research candidates and vote, they wouldn't be relegated to watching Saturday Night Live reruns. In about a month, three pro-student, pro-business city commissioners in Gainesville will come up for reelection. Take some time to research and see where they stand and if the challengers understand the issues. With Mayor Hanrahan and President Machen currently using a public relations campaign to curb underage drinking, make sure you aren't mute if they look to Ocala for ideas.

8, ALLIGATOR U FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 2005 APRIL IS AN ACTIVE MONTH FOR WILDFIRES. By SKYLER SMITH Alligator Writer ssmith@alligator.org UF forestry students are doing their part to set forest fires. Preventing fires by setting supervised blazes is a method used throughout the country. In Florida alone, more than 34,000 acres were scorched to get rid of underbrush so the ecosystems could be protected from a devastating controlled fire, according to the U.S. Forest Service. Six miles northeast of Gainesville, the UF-owned Austin Carey Memorial Forest is used as a teaching laboratory to demonstrate different aspects of forest ecosystem management, according to the university's Web site. Part of the forest's use is to show the effectiveness of controlled burns. Between five and 15 controlled fires are set throughout the forest per year, said Alan Long, a UF associate professor in the School of Forest Resources and Conservation. "We're going to be doing one or two a week for the next couple months," Long said, citing the dry, temperate winter months between December and March as the busiest time for controlled fires. There have been two Gainesville-area brushfires in the past two weeks, including a 30-acre blaze Monday in High Springs. "A 15to 30-acre fire isn't unusual." Alan Long UF associate professor Although Gainesville is going through a dry spell and concerns have been raised about extra standing brush from two hurricanes, Long said there is nothing to be overly concerned about. There are at least 10 fires of that size per year in Alachua County, Long said. "A 15to 30-acre fire isn't unusual," he said. However, he cautioned that the most dangerous months for wildfires have yet to come. April and May, when temperatures are rising and summer rains have yet to arrive, are the most active times of year, Long said. Ideally, a forest should have these preventative burns every four to eight years to keep foliage at a healthy level, Long said. Forest research organizations honor UF researchers By SKYLER SMITH Alligator Writer ssmith@alligator.org Two UF researchers have been honored with awards from an international organization for their contributions to the field of agroforestry. The International Union of Forest Research Organizations has announced UF professor P.K. Nair as the recipient of its lifetime scientific achievement award. John Bellow, a for"It's always gratifying to get recognition from your peers, and especially from a world body like this." P.K. Nair UF agroforestry professor mer graduate student of Nair's, was selected as one of seven students worldwide who won the outstanding doctoral dissertation award. Agroforestry is the science of specified management of land to allow for the simultaneous production of crops and trees. This is the first time a professor and graduate student from the same school have won awards as well as the first-ever lifetime achievement award for a UF professor from the IUFRO, according to Nair. "It's always gratifying to get recognition from your peers, and especially from a world body like this," he said. lair has been working in the field of agroforestry since its inception -he was among the founders of the International Center for Research in Agroforestry in 1978, he said. He is director of the UF Center for Subtropical Agroforestry in addition to his faculty position. Bellow, who obtained his PhD at UP, spent over two years in Guatemala working on his dissertation on increasing small-farm productivity by growing fruit trees with annual crops. Nair and Bellow will be accepting their awards in August in Brisbane, Australia at the 12th IUFRO World Congress.

WINSLOW Alligator Writer mwinslow@allig'ator.org More than 20 acres of pastureland burned in a brushfire on Thursday afternoon. Residents of a home at 19001 NW County Road 239 started the fire in a nearby field to dispose of yard debris and trash, said Mark Hughes, an Alachua County Fire Rescue spokesman. But what started as a controlled burn quickly escalated and spread due to dry brush and strong winds. "To make a pun, it literally spread like wildfire," Hughes said. Although residents initially tried to douse the flames with the aid of a tractor, their attempts were unsuccessful. They placed a call for emergency services because of the threat of structural damage to a r 9 nearby home and utility structures around 1 p.m Firefighters from four different agencies, including Alachua County, the town of LaCrosse and the cities of High Springs and Newberry, as well as the Florida Division of Forestry, responded to the call. Over a dozen fire-rescue vehicles were present at the scene, Hughes said. .U l t i m a t e l y, Pulic firefighters used bulldozers and fourwheel-drive vehicles to extinguish the blaze. No injuries were reported and aside from the charred remains of several fence posts, damage was iniinal. Due to seasonally dry climate, which often contributes to the rapid spread of uncontrolled fires, Alachua County Fire Rescue urges local residents to report any signs of smoke or flames as soon as possible.

10, ALLIGATOR M FRIDAY, JAN UIARY 28,2005 FSU has $9 million in budget up in the air FSU, from page 1 Board of Governors is due to FSU holding the rotating chairmanship of the Florida Student Association. Eady voted against denying approval for the school even though critics say it could devalue the science degrees earned by FSU's students. Eady did not attend the meeting but voted via telephone. Calls to his FSU office Thursday were not returned. UF Student Body President Jamal Sowell said he would have voted with the governors to kill the chiropractic school had he held the rotating seat. The chiropractic school was presented to FSU as a fait accompli, or done deal, last year when Sen. Dennis Jones (R-Treasure Island), an ally of thenSenate President Jim King, pushed the legislature to approve the school. King later maneuvered to futnel $9 million annually to the chiropractic school from state liquor taxes. But the Board of Governors ruled in October that FSU must get the board's approval before building the school.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 11 Bater tAsTY Ba~pttteIVrile S ,S ,1to en & at S torle By MEGAN V. WINSLOW Alligator Writer mwinslow@alligator.org In what appears to be a growing trend at a local supermarket, two area men have been arrested in connection with stealing alkaline batteries, according to the Gainesville Police Department. Reports state both suspects preferred pink-bunny performance instead of the "Coppertop" crop. Frederick Resha Warren, 19, of 6102 NW 26th Terrace, attempted to walk out of the Publix supermarket at 1302 N Main St. without paying for batteries he had allegedly snatched off a shelf on aisle nine, according to reports. A Publix loss prevention officer watched a man bend over his bookbag, a pack of Energizer batteries in hand. Seconds later, the officer lost sight of the merchandise, reports state. The man then went to the store's restroom, where he allegedly removed the batteries from their packaging. Upon recovering the discarded container from the men's room, the officer confronted Warren, reports state. Although he originally suggested that the packaging had accidentally come open and he forgot about stowing the batteries in his jacket pocket, Warren later admitted he was -unable to afford the batteries, which cost $7.99. According to reports, Dustin Tyler St. Johns, 34, was a little more ambitious in his version of the events. St. Johns, of 4135 Main St., was arrested by the Florida Highway Patrol on Thursday evening in connection with the theft of two packages of Energizer batteries. The alleged incident occurred at the same Publix supermarket where the younger but equally unsuccessful Warren had tried his luck. Both St. Johns and Warren have been charged with misdemeanor offenses. Red Cross proud DONATION, from page 1 whole," Fields said. "You are our next generation, and I am so proud about this donation." Fields said the UF community's contribution to the Red Cross will go toward providing immediate shelter, food and first aid for tsunami victims. "At first, the Red Cross is concerned with meeting their immediate needs, and after that the Red Cross will step in on the long-term recovery process," Fields said. Although Fields appreciated the generosity of the students, she expressed concern about matters here at home. "Locally, we need a lot of help," she said. "Services are simply needed. When there is a fire, it doesn't matter if it is a wealthy or poor family, the Red Cross is there." The North Central Florida Chapter has nearly 300 volunteers and is responsible for providing services for eight counties in both Florida and Georgia, making it the largest geographical responsibility of any Red of student efforts Cross facility in the Southeast United States. A five-day U.N. conference in Japan that concluded Saturday determined a tsunami warning system should be put in place for the South Asia region within the next 12 to 18 months: The conference also set up communication channels between nations to share weather data, establish cleanup and relief funds, and formulate response strategies to help even the odds between nature's unpredictability and the human lives in its path. The 8.9-magnitude earthquake on Dec. 26 has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in South Asia. Differing government -tallies have put the total number of dead in 11 countries between 144,000 and 178,000. As many as 147,000 people are missing -many of them presumed dead -raising the possibility that more than 300,000 died. All told, governments and international bodies have pledged about $4 billion for tsunami aid and reconstruction. The Associated Press contributed to this report. To fly is one thing.

Senior, freshman combination contributes half of team 's rebounds BASKET BALL, fropage 24 uct of a conscious attempt to improve. "I talked to Al and the other bigs," Lee said. "And we've just been trying to make a concerted effort to dominate the paint and make a stride on the boards this year." Lee, who had one of his best performances last season against the Gamecocks with 21 points and 14 rebounds in a 65-62 UF win, has had some inconsistent offensive perfordances while averaging 12 points per game. But Coach Billy Donovan said the senior is the type of player who shouldn't be judged on his point total but on his ability to pull down 12 to 15 rebounds per game and improve the play of his surrounding teammates by attracting the defense's attention. "That's why I'm so proud of the way David is playing right now," Donovan said. "Because it's not all about points, and it's not all about scoring. It's about making other players better." And who other than Lee's freshman partner in basketball repossession benefits more from his presence? Weekend will be critical for rising stars RECR UITING from page 24 Scout.com, have expressed desire to play together. "I love Coach Meyer's system because he runs the same thing I ran in high school," Jackson said. "I think I'd do well .but the main thing I'm looking for is a comfortable environment." Jackson lists UF, LSU, Oklahoma State, Notre Dame and Texas as his final candidates. Also making the trip will be Daytona Beach Mainland High teammates Avery Atkins and Brian Ellis. Atkins is ranked the No. 5 defensive back in the nation by Scout.com, while Ellis, a tight end, is ranked No. 22. Atkins has been an undecided commitment to UF for some time, and Meyer and his staff can take solace in the fact that they'll be his final official visit. At 5-foot-11, 185 pounds and 4.5 speed, Atkins is also friends with visiting linebacker Jon Demps. While the recruiting process will conclude on National Signing Day on Wednesday, Meyer has been keeping tabs on UF's recruiting process throughout January. "The more recruiting weekends I've gone through, I've had the chance to talk to the studentathletes because I want to learn as much as I could about this university," Meyer said. "It's not a good university, it's a great university, and I look forward to finishing this recruiting year strong." Dm1 comeihentcis are io-bindi1g until a national letir-of-iiitel is signed en Nationl Signing Day on Wednesday. Donovan said he notices opponents so concerned with boxing out Lee that Horford often can swoop in for the rebound. And just as often, Lee will draw a double team to leave Horford free on a put-back opportunity. Lee likened the situation to his underclassman experience playing with Matt Bonner. "When I was a sophomore, and Matt Bonner was getting the double teams, and Matt Bonner was getting the attention, I was able to get some good rebounds on the outside," Lee said. "I think Al is really taking great advantage of that right now." SHAF, from page 24 5 points. Impressively, all came on the road. Led by the SEC's highest percentage shooter in Carlos Powell, South Carolina doesn't do anything spectacular, but does everything well. They will keep the game close and try to steal it toward the end. But not if UF comes out ready to play. The Gators are bigger, more athletic and possess better shooters than the Gamecocks. We have seen glimpses of a team on the rise, but its history of inconsistency casts a constant cloud of doubt over the O'Dome. If UF is to continue its maturation into a legitimate Tournament contender, this is the type of game it needs to show it can win. Many will look to Tuesday right's game in Starkville as a barometer for the Gators, but Saturday's performance against South Carolina will tell me all I need to know.

22, ALLIGATOR 0 FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 2005 Gators softball opens season with doubleheader UF WILL FACE FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL AND FLORIDA ATLANTIC. By WILLIS JACOBSON Alligator Writer "First thing's first" is the motto of the 2005 UF softball team. While the phrase serves as a reminder to focus on the basics and take each game one at a time, the Gators will get their first real "first" of the season this Saturday in Miami. Th6 Gators will open the season at the Sunshine State Softball Kickoff with a doubleheader against Florida Atlantic and host-team Florida International. Leading a squad that is retiring nine starters from a year ago, fifth-year coach Karen Johns says her team is anxious to get out and play. "I think they're real excited for Saturday and just getting that opening day out in front of us here and seeing how we stack up against outside competition," Johns said. "Overall, I think the team is very excited for it." Second baseman Savana Kelly, in particular, will be even more excited than usual. The freshman from Ft. Lauderdale will be playing her first collegiate game only minutes away from her hometown. "My whole family is coming down and they'll be there so I'm kind of playing in front of a home crowd but not, so it's really exciting for me," Kelly said. Noting that she was recruited by FIU, Kelly says that she will have extra motivation, to play well against the Golden Panthers this weekend. The fate of the Gators, though, will likely hinge on the performance of their pitching staff, led by sophomore ace Stacey Stevens. "Stacey is going to lead the way for us, but we're looking more towards this group to give us their individual efforts, and I think combined the group will Johns do well for us," Johns said. "Each one brings a different element that we're looking for and we'll move them irn and out accordingly to the competition that we're playing."The probable starters for Saturday's games will be seniors Amanda Knowles and Mandy Schuerman, respectively. UF will enter the 2005 season unranked but receiving votes in both major polls. The Southeastern Conference Preseason Coaches poll projected UF to finish third in the Eastern Division. The Gators will play FAU at 11:00 a.m. and FIU at 1:30 p.m. Both games will take place at the University Park Softball Field on the FIU campus in Miami. This is UF's first meeting with FAU since the Owls ended their 2003 season by. knocking them out of the NCAA regional in Gainesville. The all-time series is tied at three games apiece. This will be UF's first matchup with FIU since 2002. The Golden Panthers lead the all-time series 2-1. By NATASHA WEINSTEIN and KATE CAVANNA Alligator Writers It's going to be a busy weekend for the UF men's tennis team. Beginning today at 4 p.m., the men will host unranked Furman, then travel on Saturday to Duke for their first match against a top-ten team on Sunday. Coach Andy Jackson hopes this afternoon's match sees the Gators play better than last week, despite their 7-0 opening victory. "I'd like to see across the board more discipline made on the court that is absolutely necessary against top-ten teams," Jackson said. "We've had good quality practices, I feel like we've made preparations to play Furmnn and ultimately Duke on the -md. So far, it's been a good week." After losing to Central Florida, top-seeded pair Hamid Mirzadeb and Chris Brandi spent most of this F ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT FOREST FIRES week reverting to the basics of doubles tennis and re-acquainting themselves with playing together. Their last match together was during the NCAA quarterfinals last May. "I'm pretty confident that me and Chris will get back to our normal ways for Furman," Mirzadeh said. "They've had good doubles teams the past few years, so it will be a good match." While the Gators are heavily favored, Jackson said the Furman team will be mbre disciplined than Central Florida, as they are led by a top coach, Paul Scarpa. "I don't believe in planing that things are going to be easy; I'm expecting that it's going to be much closer and harder fought than UCF," Jackson said. "Furman is hard-nosed, solid, disciplined and often pulls big upsets. They are dangerous." After the Furman match, the team will focus on Sunday's meeting against No. 9 Duke. Besides playing a top-ranked team, another first for the season will be that the match will take place indoors. Jackson said it will be good preparation for the upcoming team indoor competition. "I'm pretty confident that me and Chris will get back to our normal ways for Furman. They've had good doubles teams the past few years, so it wil I be a good match."

WOMEN WIN: Looking for its first official win of the season, .the UF women's tenrnis team took on the UCF Golden Knights Thursday night in a windy match at the Ring Tennis Complex. Coach Roland Thornqvist changed the doubles positions, moving junior Jennifer Magley and senior Zerene Reyes to the No. 2 spot after they played at No. 1 in their opening match against Baylor. Freshmen Lolita Frangulyan and Whitney Benik, ranked third in the country, took the No. 1 spot, and sophomore Nina Suvak and freshman Alex Liles played at No. 3. The move to No. 2 did not slow Magley and Reyes, as they defeated Becky Gordon and Ola Luczak 8-0. Frangulyan and Benik dominated in the early stages of their No. 3 match, gaining points with Benik's quick net work and ball placement. The pair began to struggle in the fifth game, floating up too many balls, which their opponents, UCF's Pamela Fernandez and Kristina Lohmos returned with punishing overheads. The pair fought hard in a back-and-forth match, finally defeating UCF 8-5. In the No. 3 spot, Suvak and Liles again showed their power as a doubles team. The duo quickly went ahead 3-0 before allowing UCF's Megan Hunter and Jennifer Carati to climb their way back to 3-2. The Gators won the sixth game and dominated the rest of the match, not allowing UCF to win another game and taking the set 8-2. The Gators won all six singles matches, with only Frangulyan having any trouble, taking her match to a tiebreaker. She won the match 3-6, 6-3, 10-3, finishing the 7-0 sweep UF will see its next action on Saturday at 1 p.m. against Florida International. TENNIS Jackson calls for more discipline against top teams

By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer dtreat@alligator.org UF coach Rhonda Faehn has made it very clear this season: the Gators' opponent is of little or no consequence to her and her team. This week, she went so far as to say that she wasn't even sure if the Gators knew where they were ranked. After dropping to No. 12 after the season opener, UF has climbed all the way back to No. 5 after last week's victory over Nebraska. The Gators now face their stiffest challenge yet this season as they welcome No. 4 Alabama to the O'Connell Center tonight. "We're not as a team looking at that at all," Faehn said. "What we're trying to do this week in the gym is trying to fix the small things from last week and continue to keep pushing hard." The Alabama team that UF defeated three weeks ago in the Super Six Challenge is vastly different from the squad the Crimson Tide will bring in this time around.

But, after a fast start, UF fizzled and lost at Georgia, 81-61. The Gators (12-7, 3-3 SEC) dominated the first five minutes, jumping out to a 15-5 lead. Once Georgia (16-5, 5-2 SEC) took the lead with about three minutes left in the first half, the Bulldogs never looked back. Tasha Humphrey recorded 21 points and nine rebounds for Georgia. Coach Carolyn Peck said.UF contained the freshman, but Georgia eventually found a way to get her touches. "We were making it as difficult as you possibly can for Tasha Humphrey to get the ball inside," Peck said. "That's how Georgia came back into the game, they figured out a way to get her the ball inside and she was able to finish." Peck said she was proud of her team's effort. Despite the final score, she feels better about the team now than after last Sunday's loss to Mississippi. She added that Thursday's game was very physical, which benefited Georgia. So physical, in fact, UF's leading scorer, Bernice Mosby, came away with a sore shoulder and a gash on her face.

The Crimson Tide have also added Olympian Terin Humphrey to the mix. She won two silver medals in Athens this summer: one in the team competition and one on uneven bars. Humphrey will compete on uneven bars and balance beam tonight against the Gators. The Gators' lineup will be nearly identical to the one they trotted out against Nebraska last Friday. Freshman Ashley Reed and sophomores Breanne King and Katie Rue will again be the three all-around performers for the Gators. Rue's score of 39.35 last week was the Gators' highest season. UF's reserves pitched in 7 points versus 34 for Georgia. Dressing-only nine due to injured guards Kim Dye and Danielle Santos, it seemed like it was only a matter of time before the lack of depth caught up with UF.

UF is less than a month away from the Southeastern Conference championship, otherwise known as crunch time for the men's and women's swimming and diving teams. With the impending conference championship, this weekend's meets against Virginia (ranked No. 10 and 12 in the men's and women's CSCAA polls, respectively) and Tennessee (No. 17 in the men's poll) are final warmups for No. 3 UF Coach Gregg Troy believes that although Virginia is the best team in the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Gators must not sleep on conference fival Tennessee either. Since the Volunteers have never beaten the Gators before, it will serve as an extra motivational tool for Tennessee. "We've never lost to Tennessee, and I think that bothers them," Troy said. "Tennessee will come in fired up and ready to go. They've had their best teams in years. Virginia is by far the best team in the ACC, and it's a-real, chalUF seniors Erinn Dooley and Orley Szmuch will again be limited in their action this week. Dooley is still being hampered by a stress fracture in her foot. "This week, her bar practices have gone much better," Faehn said. "Probably the best they've been all year. "t'm sure last week [when she had an exhibition fall on bars] was difficult for her, but I think that it was beneficial."$ Faehn said she would still compete on balance beam in addition to another exhibition on uneven bars. Szmuch competed in the all-around at the Super Six Challenge but has not returned to the event since because of a lingering ankle injury. Faehn said she eventually will return to competing in the all-around, but the coaching staff is going to continue holding her off the floor exercise. Tracey Rai will return to the floor lineup after sitting out last week ago.ist Nebraska. It will likely be at least another week before All-American Chantelle Tousek returns to the main lineup as well. Faehn said that is because of difficult skills. "She did an excellent job on balance beam last week," Faehn said. "The biggest thing is that in her routines, she has brand new skills that are of such high difficulty and risk factor that I want to be able to put her under the pressure situations on numerous occasions before she actually gets plugged into the lineup." lenge facing a conference rival in Tennessee the next day." However, Troy still has his teams focused on the overall picture, saying that this is not the time for the Gators to lose ground. "Sometimes you improve in times, and sometimes it's in technical improvements," Troy said. "We want continued improvement from week to week so we hl e a ood mental state for conference." The Gators are still looking for their strongest formula and may tweak the line-ups this weekend in order to find that. "We're making final decisions on where we put swimmers in conference,"he said. "You may not see our strongest line-ups." While UF does have its sig.tt set on the final stages of conference and NCAA play, Troy is still aware that Virginia will be prepared for one of its bigger meets of the season. "Virginia is very well-coached," he said. "It's an opportunity for them to beat one of the best teams in the country. We need ttI be aware of that and treat them like anyone else."

,Sports FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 2005 Lee, Horford play tou gh down low By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer, bapp@aiigator.org For forward David Lee, the losses were miserLk_' #able. But the way in which they were incurred became intolerable. Lee noticed a distinct and frustrating pattern in his team's defeats last season. "The most consistent thing we got killed in was rebounding," Lee said. "It was game in and game out in the [Southeastern Conference]. When we'd lose, we'd get out-rebounded by 15 rebounds ag ainst the bigger teams." Coming into his senior season, Lee crafted a mission statement for himself and his teammates. "I said, If we re going to lose, let's try not to make it because of our defense or our rebounding, let's make it because we had an off-shooting night."' And so far, those words have amounted to more than mere rhetoric for the Gators (12-4, 4-1 SEC). Lee After finishing last season seventh in the SEC in offensive rebounding and eighth in defensive rebounding, UF has improved to fourth and second in those W1, respective categories this season while increasing a league-seventh-best 0.8 rebounding margin to a second-best 7.2. .Such development has led the Gators to doubledigit rebounding advantages and consequently lopsided wins at Vanderbilt and against a Georgia team that tried to limit their running style of offense. Saturday at 1 p.m., the Gators, led by Lee and -N -freshman forward Al Horford, again look to control the boards when they face perhaps their most difficult conference opponent thus far, South Carolina (11-6, 3-3 SEC). While the Gators have out-rebounded their last three opponents by an average of 18.3 per game, Lee and Horford have combined for nearly half of UF's Matt Marriott / Alligator Staff total rebounds. UF's Al Horford has played a crucial role in UF's rebounding resurgence According to Lee, the difference is just the prodthis season. Horford ranks 10th in the SEC in rebounding. SEE BASKETBALL, PAGE 21 ALLIGATOR www.aIIigator.org/sports Gators shouldn't overlook Gamecocks in preparation for Bulldogs Tf he ship has been righted. T Every team has a hiccup every here and there, right? An overtime conference loss on the road doesn't look so bad after a 23-point thrashing of Georgia (or was that South Atlanta High?) on national television. Matt Walsh has shown Terrell Owens that miraculous recoveries are possible. Anthony Roberson has picked his game up to nationally recognized status. David Lee is banging the boards like never before. And Al Horford looks like the second coming of Udonis Haslem. The Gators now sit at 4-1 in Southeastern Conference play, good enough for second in the East. So, gas up the plane, and it's off to Starkville for a date with the powerhouse Bulldogs. What is that you say? Another game? Oh, but that's just South Carolina. And thus, the infamous "trap" game is born. Call it what you want -a look ahead, the sandwich, an oversight -but a game such as the one UF will play on Saturday is the most dangerous kind on any team's schedule.
