Gator Party candidate declares platform

Goldberg backs battles against | i

new tuition and alcohol policies L F
_L ; J i-i file,


By BRIDGET CAREY
Alligator Writer
bcarey@alligator.org

Gator Party presidential candidate
Joe Goldberg announced his party's
goals to fight against block tuition
and an alcohol-free UF campus at a
Tuesday rally.
As nearly 75 faces focused on the
former Student Senate president as he
stood on a platform on the Reitz Union
Colonnade, Goldberg intertwined his
lifelong Gators pride with reasons
why students should cast their vote for
him in the March Student Government
election.
"I was born in a family full of
Gators, and I have always bled orange
and blue," Goldberg said.
Goldberg said, if elected, his ad-
ministration would work to persuade
UF leaders to extend the drop/add
period to be "more realistic" as well
as work with professors to have them


"stop needlessly changing textbook
editions."
Block tuition was another issue
Goldberg said he planned to fight
against.
Student Body President Jamal
Sowell and his administration also
have been vocal in their fight against
the proposal, which would require all
students to pay for 15 credit hours
per semester, regardless of how many
hours they register.
Goldberg said what makes him
stand out from the competition, in-
cluding the Dennis Ngin-led Impact
Party, is the experience and knowledge
he gained throughout his time as a
senator and Senate president.
"It's all about building relation-
ships," he said.
Ngin is the current Student Body
Treasurer under Sowell.
Goldberg also said he wanted to re-
quire the 86 student senators to main-

A jury concurred Tuesday, handing
down the sentence that begins his new
one: permanent consignment to prison
for first-degree murder.
The jury deliberated for only an
hour before finding the 21-year-old
guilty of killing his guardian, UF ad-

"This is not the tragedy in the
sense of some accident," prosecuting
attorney Marc Peterson said during
closing arguments. "Justice in this case
is returning a verdict of first-degree
murder because that's exactly what
Tavares Williams did."
In contrast with his loud, profane
outbursts Monday, Williams sat silent
and still as Judge Robert P. Cates read
the verdict convicting him of capital
murder.

This year, the event was or-

technical fields and Wednesday
featuring nontechnical fields.
The CRC registered 251 com-
panies to attend and anticipates
more than 5,000 students.
Tuesday's job opportunities
ranged from companies such
as Amazon.com to the public
service sector represented by
the U.S. Department of State
and the Georgia Department of
Transportation.
"When comparing the Spring
Showcase of 2004 to this year's,
the show has increased by
abofit a dozen companies," said
CRC assistant director Nadene
Francis. "We've even grown
compared to last year's Fall. The
show is an excellent opportunity
for hiring managers to connect
with the student population."
Joseph Rojo, an academic ad-
viser for the Warrington College

preparation.
"Go in looking really sharp,"
Rojo suggested. "Set career goals
for yourself before you go, and
research the companies that may
help you reach your goals before
you introduce yourself."
Rojo said companies are
drawn to UF every semester
because, "We are a great school
and the students are very ambi-

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

Reitz loan gets first approval


By BRIDGET CAREY
Alligator Writer
bcarey@alligator.org

The Reitz Union has made the
first leap toward the renovation
of its hotel thanks to the initial
approval of a $500,000 loan from
Student Government reserves
Tuesday night.
A second Senate approval is
needed next week for the reno-
vation of the 36-room hotel to
become a reality.
But the bill's initial approval
was met with heated discussion
that lasted through midnight.
The hotel has not been reno-
vated in 17 years, whereas aver-
age hotels are renovated every


five to seven years, said Reitz
Union director Dave Kratzer. The
hotel's bathrooms haven't been
renovated in nearly 40 years, he
added.
"You are the contingency
plan."
Dave Kratzer
Reitz Union director

Kratzer said the renovation
would be beneficial to students,
who help fund more than 60
percent of the union's yearly
budget through tuition-based
Activity & Service fees. With the
renovations, the union would
gain more business, allowing it


to ask for less student funding in
the future.
"You are the contingency
plan," Kratzer said. Before go-
ing to the Senate, Kratzer said he
unsuccessfully sought funding
from other sources, but found no
practical solution.
The plan is to repay the inter-
est-free loan with $100,000 every
year for five years after the pro-
posed renovations are complete.
Now, union management
will be working to advertise to
alumni and other markets to gain
the revenue faster.
"I'll tell you what I know -
just from my gut they are go-
ing to eat this up," Student Sen.
John Pughe said of UF alumni.

Consulting firm


to evaluate jail

By ELIZABETH PRANN
Alligator Writer
eprann@alligator.org

Alachua County commissioners unanimously decided a
team of consultants will begin an approximately eight-month
evaluation of the Alachua County Jail.
The commission appointed jail consultant David Bogard of
Pulitzer, Bogard & Associates, plus a staff of five, to evaluate
the jail and its inner workings for about $150,000.
"This is a continuous issue," said County Commissioner
Mike Byerly. "This is a decision-making day."
Alachua County Sheriff's Office spokesman Jim Troiano
said the expenditure is an inappropriate allocation of money in
light of four national reports done last year that brought back
positive remarks about the jail.
"That's a lot of money, and what are they going to do that
hasn't already been done?" Troiano said. "We do a stellar job."
Chairwoman Cynthia Chestnut said the
decision should be made despite the absence
of Alachua County Sheriff Steve Oelrich,
who was not represented at the meeting.
"This has gone on long enough," she
said.
Commissioners agreed the decision is
overdue, as talks began over a year ago.
Troiano said the commission does not
operate, supervise or manage the jail and
when it did, seven years ago, the jail faced two civil rights vio-
lations, an escape and numerous accountability issues.
Bogard said his racial- and gender-sensitive team will begin
its analysis immediately, searching for what he referred to as a
"subculture," something he said is in every organization.
"Working in a jail is a very difficult occupation," Bogard
said. "People try to skirt policies."
Additionally, Bogard wants to look at the formal rules laid
out by the jail. He said he wants to see if the rules are sound and
appropriate for the Alachua County community and if inmates
and staff abide by their parameters.
Bogard said he wants to see how jail personnel handle com-
plaints, grievances and incidents. His company has completed
27 jail and prison cultural assessments in the past 10 years.
"We have hands-on real experience," he said.
He proposed that the process begin only under the com-
plete cooperation of the sheriff's office, starting with document
and information requests. In the coming months, the team will
scrutinize the jail with interviews and tours. In May, the team
will present its first-draft report after meeting with an oversight
committee. It will have a completed assessment, including im-
provements and recommendations, by September.

Interviewers weigh pros, cons of provost hopefuls


Three of six interviews complete


-By EMILY YEHLE
Alligator Writer
eyehle@alligator.org

Faculty importance emerged Tuesday as a
defining element of the ongoing search to per-
manently replace former UF provost David
Colbum.
Three of six finalists vying to be the uni-
versity's No. 2 administrator emphasized the
need for quality instructors and faculty input
during interviews at the Hilton University of
Florida Conference Center.
"If you don't have great teaching at a uni-
versity, it is not a great university. Period,"
candidate George Atkinson said. "Teaching is
what we do."
The other two candidates interviewed,
Cristina Gonzalez and Pramod Khargonekar,
supported shared governance between faculty
and administration.


But the relationship between the two
groups needs to improve, Khargonekar said.
"There's always some dissonance between
faculty and administration, but there's way
too much at UF," he said.
Khargonekar is the only candidate now
working at UF He is the dean of UF's College
of Engineering, something that concerned
some committee members who thought a
national search should find someone from
another institution. Others, however, were im-
pressed by the dean's passion for UF and his
plans for integrating research and academics.
"In my mind, he has to be very, very strong
for me to come down on his side," said Yngve
Ohm, a UF chemistry and physics professor.
Atkinson and Gonzalez, however, hail
from elsewhere.
On leave from duties as professor of chem-
istry and optical sciences at the University of
Arizona, Atkinson works as the U.S. State


Department's senior adviser for science and
technology, a position that has led him to work
with former Secretary of State Colin Powell.
Gonzalez has worked for eight years at
the University of California, Davis and is
unique to the finalists for her humanities
background.
As a former senior adviser to the school's
chancellor and a current professor, Gonzalez
said recommendations
from faculty and students
:' .... e ,are important to her deci-
sion process.
S"Consultation is to ad-
ministration what research
r 4, is to writing," she said.
;A But the search com-
Colburn mittee discussed whether
Gonzalez's management
style was too democratic. On the other hand,
Khargonekar's self-described "lead and serve"
style might be too hierarchical.
For many of his responses, Atkinson drew
from his experience in Washington, D.C., es-
pecially when speaking about international


issues.
"In many ways, we're all going to have to
face the reality of competing with what has
become a global community," he said.
Atkinson's experience with fundraising
and his personable character impressed some
committee members, while others thought
there was a lack of specific examples in his
responses.
"Some of his answers may have been a
little one-dimensional," Interim Provost Joe
Glover said.
The interviews will continue today at 8
a.m. for Mark Thiemens, dean of physical
sciences at the University of California at San
Diego, and Arthur Epstein, director of the
Ohio State University Institute for Magnetic
and Electronic Polymers.
Due to illness, the sixth candidate, Richard
Hoffman, dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences at the University of Nebraska, won't
be interviewed today as originally scheduled.

TALLAHASSEE

Enforcement of minimum wage amendment uncertain


By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM
Alligator Staff Writer
jvanl@alligator.org

TALLAHASSEE Three months after 71 percent of
Floridians voted to raise the state's minimum wage by $1, the
state legislature is trying to iron out the details.
The minimum wage will rise to $6.15 an hour May 2 a
change expected to affect more than 300,000 Florida workers
- and will increase each year based on a local inflation index.
But who will enforce the new law and how underpaid work-
ers would claim compensation are questions still up in the air.
A draft proposal in the House Judiciary Committee would
require workers to give employers a 15-day notice before filing
a wage complaint. If the employer paid the worker before the
15 days expires, the worker would be unable to file a lawsuit.
The proposal also includes a "good faith" provision, lim-
iting possible damages if a business can show it had not de-
liberately tried to stiff its workers. Moreover, the plan would
limit workers' ability to file class-action suits alleging pay
violations.


"We don't want regulation by lawsuit," said Bill Herrle, a
lobbyist for the Florida Retail Federation. "That's our first bot-
tom line. This amendment creates new causes of action, par-
ticularly class-action lawsuits, which are the most ineffective
means of enforcing a law."
"People should be concerned."
Lamont Wright
ACORN St. Petersburg chapter chairman

Herrle said retailers would support any state or federal
Agency that was chosen to enforce the new wage.
"By and large, wage laws do not have a major compliance
problem," he said, adding that businesses that intend to com-
ply with the law don't want inadvertent clerical errors to result
in a-new "cottage industry" for lawyers.
Labor advocates said any new legislation must remain
fully faithful to the provisions contained in the amendment
that nearly three of four Floridians endorsed on Election Day.
The plan makes no mention of a provision in the amend-


ment that workers can demand double the amount of their
owed back pay plus their attorney's fees if they prevail in a
wage dispute. Nor does it contain provisions enabling the state
attorney general to levy fines of up to $1,000 per incident.
"People should be concerned," said Lamont Wright,
chairman of the St. Petersburg chapter of the Association
of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN,
which spearheaded the amendment initiative.
"We've collected thousands and thousands of signatures
to get this on the ballot, and we got it to pass," he said. "Why
should [legislators] think they have a right not to honor it? The
amendment is very clear."
Bob Sparks, a spokesman for Florida Attorney General
Charlie Crist, said Crist believes it is premature to comment
on the measure because the legislature has yet to agree on
who will enforce the law. The Florida Department of Labor
and Employment Security was abolished by the legislature in
2002.
And the Agency for Workforce Innovation, which admin-
isters a portion of the old department's duties, said it does not
have the money to do so.

Porn leads to arrest


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

A local clerical secretary arrested in
connection with child pornography is
in the Alachua County Jail on a $100,000
bond.
Gainesville Police arrested Robert
Alan Costello, 8620 NW 13th St., Monday
after a routine probation patrol officer
uncovered an explicit manuscript about a
father engaging in a menage a trois with
his 14-year-old daughter and her friend,
police said.
Although Costello reportedly said the
manuscript was a piece he wrote, police
said he chose to illustrate the tale with
nude photos of female children.
According to court records, Costello
was convicted of lewd and lascivious as-
sault on a child in 2003.
As Costello, 58, does not have access


to the Internet at his home, police consid-
ered his workplace, Lighthouse Baptist
Church, 2611 NW 68th Ave., which does
have Internet access, as a possible source
of the illegal photos.
After scaring the church's computers
and conducting a forensic search, police-
located several floppy disks at the defen-
dant's work station. On the disks were
more than 2,800 images of pornography,
including pictures depicting bestiality,
police reported.
Pornography is not illegal, but more
than 102 of the images involved children
having sex with each other or with adults,
Kameg said.
Costello's duties at the church never

Journalist wins UF award


* DAN CHRISTENSEN EXPOSED
SECRET TRIALS AFTER SEPT. 11.

By JUSTIN RICHARDS
Alligator Writer

Dan Christensen shared his award-win-
ning expose on post-Sept. 11, 2001, govern-
ment secrecy with UF journalism classes
Monday and Tuesday.
Christensen was presented Monday
with the Brechner Center for Freedom of
Information Award for uncovering the
case of an Arab man who was detained
without charge or trial and whose later
court proceedings were stricken from pub-
lic record.
"[His series] is a bone-chilling reminder
of what happens when we sacrifice civil
liberties in the name of security," Brechner
Center executive director Sandra Chance
said in a press release.
The story revolves around Mohammed
Bellahouel, who may have been a waiter
for two Sept. 11 hijackers at a restaurant
in Deerfield Beach. He also was allegedly
seen entering a theater with one of the ter-
rorists.
The government detained Bellahouel,


35, for overstaying his student visa
- an offense usually resulting in a citation,
Christensen said.'Bellahouel filed a request
for release from unlawful imprisonment.
Christensen saw Bellahouel's appeal
on a Miami court calendar in March 2003.
When he checked it again, it had vanished.
Later, U.S. Marshals guarded the doors to
the courtroom proceed-
ings following a brief
interlude, he said. The
case eventually went to
', the U.S. Supreme Court.
S Bellahouel was re-
leased after five months
f :': l and now resides in
Christensen Delray Beach.
"I definitely admire
the fact that he did his job the way it's sup-
posed to be done," said Brad Rosenberg, a
UF journalism junior.
The justice department didn't make his
job any easier, though. No one would talk
to Christensen about the case because of
gag orders, and several documents were
heavily censored.
"It's guys like him, in the trenches, do-
ing the dirty work, that make journalism
worthwhile," reporting master lecturer
Mike Foley said.

Editorial


Domestic focus

Bush should cover more

than Iraq in his address
If you think President Bush is going to gloat about the Iraqi
election for about half of his State of the Union address to-
night, raise your hand.
Thought so.
Sure, the election turned out about as well as it could have.
It won't be enough to silence critics of the war, as the president
surely hopes, but likely it will somewhat improve public opin-
ion of the administration's actions.
Unfortunately, it sometimes seems as if Bush thinks "do-
mestic policy" is something that happens to naughty presidents
when they've been bad. If he wants to have the confidence of
the American people, he must do all he can to prove this is not
true.
That's not to say he shouldn't discuss the election during his
address. On the contrary, Iraq still is the most visible issue of the
day, and Bush has a duty to inform the nation about the future
of U.S. support in the region.
He should present a plan for the withdrawal of troops from
Iraq not a detailed exit strategy, because the efficacy of the
new Iraqi government remains to be seen, but at least a general
breakdown of how the process will go. He should emphasize
that the U.S. presence in Iraq will be acting at the behest of a
sovereign nation, and that it will leave if asked to do so. Finally,
he should begin a healing process for damaged relations with
countries that disagree with the war.
For this term to be successful, however, Bush must present
a domestic agenda as strong and clear as his foreign policy.
Everyone knows the president's positions on extending free-
dom and protecting the United States from terrorism and,
on the strength of these positions, he has been given a chance to
correct his vague plan for issues within the nation.
On the home front, it is likely he will spend the most time
touting his plan to privatize Social Security. Citizens and politi-
cians alike need much convincing if the plan is to go through, as
even conservatives are skeptical.
If he wants to do the best thing for the country, however, he
will de-prioritize the issue. Social Security must be reformed to
some extent before it has a chance to collapse, but it is not one of
the most pressing problems of the day.
More important are efforts to balance the budget and elimi-
nate the deficit. Bush undoubtedly will lead his discussion of
the economy by promising tax cuts but, before he rewards
Americans with kickbacks, he should spell out a plan to get
spending back under control especially in a time when bil-
lions are being spent on military operations in the Middle East.
Education is another issue in which Bush needs to explain
how he will accomplish the goals he has set. Since the No Child
Left Behind Act is unlikely to undergo significant change (much.
less outright retraction), Bush must promise to provide proper
funding to accomplish the plan's claims. If it is to succeed, he
needs to come up with a compelling argument as to why the act
is good for the educational system.
Finally, Bush should put forth a defense of his plans for tort
reform and immigration, both of which are unpopular.
Again, Bush must present a clear vision of U.S. domestic
policy in his State of the Union address if he is going to have the
support of his citizens during his second term. There are many
issues that need to be addressed, and he has many promises to
keep.
Once all of that is out of the way, the American people can
tolerate a bit of gloating.

History predicts problems for SG party


In the 1984 film "Moscow on the Hudson," Robin
Williams plays a Soviet defector living in New York
City. An American friend asks him to go to the gro-
cery store and pick up some coffee. Rather than having
to stand in line for his ration of coffee as he was used to
doing, Williams is directed to an aisle full of choices. He
faints in the aisle.
Is that how the next Student Government election will
look?
The list of registered parties seems to grow daily, as
does its absurdity. What's in a name? Not much, appar-
ently unless you're looking for a Voice to Access and
Impact the Student Alliance for Progress.
SG candidates are Partying like it's 1999. With luck,
even phrases like "on-demand connectivity" and "scal-
able database solutions" could be revived with these
folks at the helm.
Readers, if you're wondering, that all means, "buzz-
word, buzzword, buzzword." Surely you remember the
times when you would pick up a newspaper to read
about the "Next Big Thing in Silicon Valley," read the en-
tire article and still not know what the hell it was about.
That's my beef with these names.
But one party has gone above and beyond the trend
to christen SG parties with connotative but utterly mean-
ingless names: The Gator Party.
Don't get me wrong I love the Gator Party. Of
course I'll vote for them: I'm a Gator, and so are they.
Nothing could be greater! -
Let me draw some parallels to show how ridiculous
this name is.
In American history, there have been at least two
"American parties," and they have both been disastrous.
The first. American Party is better known as the
Know-Nothings. In the 1850s, some folks decided that
all those Catholics should stay in Ireland, potato famine
be damned. They began to coordinate their votes by


determining which candidates, re-
gardless of party, were sympathetic
to the anti-immigration cause. They
S-, ;.. were so successful, they formed a
party in 1854 called the American
Party. Who could argue with that
name? Anyone who can vote is an
Gavin Baker American, right?
Close to Home After backing Millard Fillmore
letters@alligator.org An 1856 (he lost) and stealing a-
block of granite donated by the
pope to build the Washington Memorial, the American
Party was overshadowed by the specter of slavery and
disappeared.
Another American Party cropped up a hundred years
later. In 1963, George Wallace was governor of Alabama;
he was the one who stood in front of the University of
Alabama to block two black students from entering. In
1969, in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964-and
federal welfare programs, Wallace's supporters formed
the American Party.
Again, who could argue with that name?
Here's a good quote from Wallace, responding to hip-
pies: "You shout four letter words at me. Well, I have two
for you: S-O-A-P and W-O-R-K."
So, history doesn't bode well for The Gator Party be-
ing a moderate, mainstream party. I mean no disrespect
but, guys, you're dooming yourselves with that name.
Outside America, though, there's hope. Just look
north: The Bloc Qu6becois roughly translated, "The
Quebec Party" won one-sixth of the seats in Canada's
House of Commons during last summer's elections.
The Bloc's main policy goal, though, is sovereignty for
Quebec (read: secession).
At least they made a good showing.

Letters to fi '- :; :
SG access lacking for transfer students
Editor: With all the "name-hijacking"
that's been running rampant, we all know
the Student Government elections will be fast
upon us. We have seven plus parties and a
veritable slew of candidates on their tickets.
Anybody can grow up and become student
body president, vice president or treasurer.
If one works hard, gets involved and is sup-
ported by fellow students, then he or she too
can have the opportunity to make a difference
in the highest positions of student leadership.
Power to the people, right?
Of course, that only is if the definition of
"people" excludes me and approximately
5,000 other UF students we the not so few,
the proud, the unelectable transfer students.
You see, when it was mentioned (almost as-
suredly in jest) that I be one of a party's nomi-
nees for student body vice president, I was
taken aback: It was definitely a funny thought.
After all, this is my first semester. I don't think
I even deserve to campaign this early on. Still,
it made me curious if it was even a possibility
to run in one's first semester.
What I discovered is I effectively never can
campaign on an executive ticket. According
to the SG Constitution, Article IV, Section 8,
Qualifications to run for office: "Candidates
for the offices of student body president, stu-
dent body vice president and student body
treasurer shall have completed a minimum of


three academic semesters, excluding summer
semesters, at the University of Florida."
I can run at the, end of my senior year then,
eh? I'll just delay graduation a year to take
office. That seems fair. Right. Maybe it's a mis-
take, though. Maybe it was simply meant to
keep "inexperienced" freshmen out of office.
Yeah, that's the ticket! Forgive the pun.
Nevertheless, if this isn't changed, it disquali-
fies about 10 percent of students from even
thinking about running. Let me tell you, that
sure gets me excited about SG.
But then, perhaps it was intentional. How
could a transfer student be qualified for the
highest positions of student leadership? After
all, transfer students aren't leaders we're
a bunch of schmucks who took a backdoor
route into UF, right? Heck, what would I know
about SG, much less UF?
Take my word on this: I've been here for
four weeks, and I guarantee that I already
know more about SG than the majority of
students no offense to that majority. I, plus
many others, also might have experience
which would translate quite well to SG.
If not in a transfer student's first semester,
you'd think we'd be qualified to campaign by
the end of our junior year.
Alas, not under the current system.
I never presumed I'd be able to campaign
and then actually win an executive office
when I got here. Still, it's mighty depressing to


know I can't even try. ductive options.

Man sentenced to life in prison for murder of UF adjunct professor


WILLIAMS, from page 1


in tears as the verdict was read.
"She gave him a home," he testified
Monday.
Barbara Roth's home was shattered when
Williams greeted a returning Roth on Jan. 24,
2002 by telling her he had a surprise for her.
Williams then retrieved the bat from his
room and struck Roth on the left side of her
face and twice more on the back of her head.
This action, Peterson said, was premedi-
tated, a condition first-degree murder carries.
Williams' girlfriend at the time, Michelle
Waller, testified that Williams confessed to
her that he intended to stab Barbara Roth on
a walk they took together less than a week
before the murder, but he was "too scared" be-
cause "there were too many people around."
She said that after killing Roth, Williams
came to her house and confessed, in detail, to
the crime. Waller nevertheless allowed him to
stay the night, even leaving him a key to the
house when she left for school in the morning,
despite her aunt remaining in the house.
"I couldn't believe he would do that. I was
scared," Waller said about not calling police.
But that's not the story Williams gave when
he initially was interviewed by police. GPD
Detective Joe Senn said Williams seemed "dis-
turbed" when he arrived back at the Covered
Bridge apartment complex that afternoon.
But when confronted during interroga-
tion with a contradicting scenario relayed by


Waller, Williams confessed.
"I was just mad," Williams said. "I was
hopin' it was just an illusion, that I'd open the
door and she'd be right there."
He said there was no logical explanation
for his actions.
The physical evidence also supported the
latter confession, as conveyed by forensic pa-
thologist William Hamilton.
Though the defense in opening statements
contended Williams "was suicidal and on
Prozac for months and months and months
before this event," the questioning was not
pursued during the course of the trial.
Preliminary searches of Barbara Roth's
apartment actually found two bottles of Paxil,
another antidepressant.
After Williams waived his right to testify,
defense attorney Ellie Wilkov rested her case
without calling any witnesses.
State Attorney's Office spokesman Spencer
Mann said this was not unusual.
"Sometimes, that's a double-edged sword,"
Mann said. "There are some things that are
pretty hard to overcome."
Wilkov did motion for Judge Cates to
render a direct acquittal on grounds that po-
lice did not readminister Miranda rights to
Williams before the second interrogation.
The motion was denied.
In closing statements, defense contested a
letter found in Williams' trash, saying what
earlier was described as "basically telling the
world what [Williams] was about to do" could
be "as indicative of suicide as it is of murder."

Megan \. WInslo, Alligator Staff
Tavares Eugene Williams looks on as attorney Ellie Wilkov presents evidence Tuesday.
After a short, two-day hearing, Williams was found guilty of first-degree murder.


Wilkov declined comment as she left the
courtroom after the verdict.
Sentencing commenced immediately, as a
conviction of first-degree murder carries with
it mandatory life-imprisonment. The state an-
nounced before the trial that it would not seek
the death penalty for Williams.


Sam Roth asked to make a statement he
intended to make when he was called as a wit-
ness, a request earlier declined. This time, Judge
Cates beckoned him to the lectern, where he
read the final paragraph of his daughter's the-
sis. Barbara Roth considered taking in Williams
"the greatest adventure of all."

Words play military role


By SKYLER SMITH
Alligator Writer
Military decisions may not be based sole-
ly on strategy and planning, but on the force
of spoken words, according to a UF study.
English professor Ronald Carpenter has
been studying rhetoric, the art of using lan-
guage persuasively, for almost 40 years.
Carpenter released a book, "Rhetoric in
Martial Deliberations and Decision Making
- Cases ard Consequences" in December
detailing his findings.
Through case studies of military proce-
dures and actions, Carpenter found officers
in the military commonly use rhetoric as
a tool to influence their peers on wartime
decisions.
"In all of the cases I studied, I worked
with the correspondence of the people
involved," Carpenter said in a release. "I
worked with their oral histories, their re-
membrance of what went on in the meetings
and the transcripts of the meetings, so that I
could look very closely at the language that


was used."
Carpenter, a former Air Force-officer, said
persuasive language can be used as a call to
action or caution.
UF Whichever stance he or
Research she chooses, the officer must
use rhetoric to convince
others of the plan's merit. As an example,
Carpenter cited the invasion at Inchon dur-
ing the Korean War.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff decided that
Inchon was too dangerous a place to land
when Gen. Douglas MacArthur rallied them
to action in a famous speech.
An example of rhetoric not used in inter-
nal military meetings, but with the public,
was the Vietnam conflict, said UF history
department lecturer Steven Noll.
Noll cited then-Secretary of Defense
Robert McNamara telling the American peo-
ple of "the light at the end of the tunnel."
"Even if all of the evidence points to the fact
that things aren't going well, we can spin it to
make things look better than they are," he said
of the government's rhetoric on the war.

Second-half surge crushes UF's hopes
By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer I ai
bapp@alligator.org "' ."
STARKVILLE, MISS. As the Gators entered a definitive
three-game stretch, confidence filled the locker room.
Criticized for its lack of physicality, UF seemed to have
found some inside power recently, garnering a 12.2 rebound-
ing advantage against the Southeastern Conference.
But on Tuesday, UF (13-5, 5-2 SEC) finally met its first big
bully on the SEC block.
And after holding their ground for one half against a
bigger, more experienced and more physical frontcourt than
they've seen this season, the Gators ultimately succumbed
to a 12-0 second-half Mississippi State surge, resulting in a
71-57loss.
Senior forward David Lee had a double-double with
15 points and a game-high 12 rebounds, while Anthony
Robern-n had a team-high 17 points.
"fMSU] did a great job," Lee said. "They have a great
front line. It's the first time a lot of our
Men's Basketball younger guys have played in such a
UF 57 physical situation."
Miss. St 71 The UF big men mustered all they
could to out-rebound the Bulldogs
and returning SEC Player of the Year
Lawrence Roberts, 17-14, in the first half.
But the Bulldogs used a 25-14 second-half rebounding
surge to control the glass. For the first 20 minutes, the Gators,
led by Lee, held the SEC's leading rebounder and scorer to a
mnere 4 points and three rebounds.
Lee held his own against Roberts in the first half, scoring
[1 and grabbing six rebounds.
But with all eyes on Roberts, other Bulldogs stepped up.
Senior guard Shane Power, who finished with a game-high
18 points, hit several key shots for the Bulldogs during their
game-clinching run.
And with Roberts gaining most of the defensive pressure
lown low, senior center Marcus Campbell took advantage.
At 7 feet, 270 pounds, Campbell emerged in the paint, often
3ingle-guarded, for an 11-point, seven-rebound first half.
The Bulldogs' unusual suspect, however, wasn't limited
to one end of the floor.
After throwing down a dunk for a 25-19 MSU lead with
1:27 remaining in the first, Campbell swatted one of his five
irst-half blocks off a driving layup from UF junior MattAP Photo
Walsh, who then thudded to the hardwood. UF forward David Lee watches Mississippi State center Marcus
Campbell slam a first-half dunk in the Gators' 71-57 loss Tuesday

RB denies retirement


Ex-Gator still may leave the NFL


STAFF REPORT

Emmitt Smith won't budge.
After ESPN.com reported Tuesday
that Smith's confidants confirmed his
imminent retirement, the NFL's all-
time leading rusher and former UF
great denied.the report.
ESPN's SportsCenter played a
tribute to Smith, but as of Wednesday
night Smith was still a member of
the NFL, albeit a free agent without
a team.
ESPN also ran an Outside the
Lines episode Tuesday night profiling
Smith's career.
"Did you see my year last year? Do
you think I'm ready to retire?" Smith
said in a report on the Dallas Morning
News Web site.
Smith played at UF from 1987-
89, setting numerous school records
including UF's single-game rushing


record of 316 yards against New
Mexico.
Smith left UF in 1989 following his
junior season and entered the NFL
Draft.
As a member of
the Dallas Cowboys,
Smith won three
Super Bowls and
.. was named MVP in
4T the 1993 win against
the Buffalo Bills.
Smith He would go on
to rush for 18,355 yards and 164 rush-
ing touchdowns, both NFL records.
After an unproductive season with
Arizona in 2003, Smith reemerged
this season to rush for 937 yards and
nine touchdowns for the Cardinals.
Various publications had Smith
retiring on Thursday and buying
into the Minnesota Vikings franchise,
which is currently for sale.


SEC gives Gators honors


STAFF REPORT

Just one week after having two
Southeastern Conference athletes of the
week, UF is at it again.
And one was even the same.
Senior thrower Liz Wanless was
named the SEC Field Athlete of the Week
for the second consecutive week. while
sophomore Savannah Evans was named
the SEC Gymnast of the Week, the league
offices announced Tuesday.
Wanless took first in the shot put at
the UNC Invitational with a NCAA auto-
matic mark of 17.29 meters.
It was Wanless' fourth shot put title
already this year in just five events.
She is currently ranked No. 2 in the
shot put in the Trackwire.com "Dandy
Dozen".
Her throw of 17.42 stands as No. 1 in


the SEC so far this season.
For Evans, it is her first such career
honor.
She gave the Gators a meet-winning
performance on floor exercise as No.
5 UF defeated No. 4
Alabama 196.55-196.35
on Jan. 28.
S The Gators needed(
Sa 9.775 or better from
Evans to win the meet
Sand Evans matched
her collegiate-best floor
Evans score of 9.95 to share
the evening's event title with defending
NCAA floor champion Ashley Miles.
However, that wasn't even Evans'
highest score ever.
She scored a 10 on vault last season.
The gymnastics team will face Georgia
this Friday in Athens.


Undecided commitments may still swing to UF


RECRUIT, from page 18

Southern California. The plethora of star
recruits already orally committed to the
Gators ranges from defensive firepower
to special teams reinforcements.
Dorian Munroe, ranked the No. 11
defensive back by Scout.com, de-com-
mitted from the Seminoles several weeks
ago after taking his visit to Gainesville
and pledged himself to Meyer. However,
his final decision today won't come
without a little suspense.
"I'll most likely be signing with the
Gators," Munroe said. "You never know


till the ink hits the paper, but I'll be most
likely heading to Florida."
The Gators' highest-ranked com-
mitment comes from Daytona Beach
Mainland defensive back Avery Atkins.
Ranked the No. 4 defensive back in
the country, Atkins has been actively
recruiting for the Gators, wooing team-
mate Brian Ellis into committing to UF
just days ago.-
The loss ct kickiLrs Matt Leach and
Matt Piotrowicz will readily be filled
by Jonathan Phillips, Scout.com's No. 2
kicker in the country.
"Well, my last couple of seasons
have gone pretty well," Phillips told


Gatorcountry.com. "I made 18 of 21 field
goals inside the 45, my touchbacks aver-
age for my junior and senior year is 95
percent, my game long [field goal]'is 47
yards and my practice long is 67."
The Gators have already welcomed
Josh Portis, the nation's No. 5 quarter-
back, who is already enrolled at UF and
eligible for spring practice.
Portis, who was originally commit-
ted to Meyer'while at Utah, is a dual
threat in the pocket.
As a senior in California, he ran
for 748 yards and 11 touchdowns and
passed for 2,027 yards and 30 touch-
downs.


Attempts to shut down center freed other Bulldogs


HOOPS, from page 18

"We did about as a good
a job as you can so against
[Roberts]," Coach Billy
Donovan said. "But we prob-
ably took our chances with
Campbell a little."
Campbell finished with
13 points, 11 rebounds and
seven blocks for his third
double-double of the season.


"I thought it was goodbut
it could have been a lot bet-
ter," Campbell said. "r could
have stepped it up a little bit
more in the second half."
In the second half Roberts
joined his teammate, earning
9 of his 13 points and seven
of his 11 rebounds for his 50th
career double-double.
Donovan said he felt that
early foul trouble put some
of his young frontcourt play-


ers in unfamiliar situations.
Freshman starting forward
Al Horford and sophomore
reserve Chris Richard both
picked up their second fouls
less than 11 minutes into
the game, forcing freshman
Joakim Noah and Lee to
shoulder most of the defen-
sive burden. Donovan said
his younger players' play
compounded the pressure
on Lee, which led to his tir-


In the end, Lee and the
Gators burned out, hitting 21
percent of their second-half
shots for a season-low 38.5
field-goal percentage.
"In the second half, I
thought David Lee exerted
so much energy with Richard
and Horford being oit,"
Donovan said. "He probably
got a little tired there in the
second half."

about the football team. But Tuesday night, after
the Bulldogs deflated the Hump their brick,
black-cherry shortcake basketball arena on
the Gators, there was reason to talk football. The
UF football team hasn't won in Starkville since
1956. The Gators have beaten MSU in Orlando,
Tampa, Gainesville and even in Jackson since
then but not in Starkville. Not in the town
with one hotel. Not where the phrase "college
town" is defined as a glorified hick Pilgrim
colony. Not in the town where there are more
cows than people.
Starkville owns the Gators. It owns Ron
Zook, it owns Steve Spurrier and now it owns
the UF basketball team as well. Tuesday night,
the MSU basketball team won at the Hump for
the 46th time out of its last 51 games.
"It wasn't too good of a trip," freshman for-
ward Joakim Noah said.
The bloodshot right eye of Lee spoke, in a
way cried, after the game. Lee scored 11 points
and grabbed six rebounds in the first half. But
late in the second half, after the Bulldogs had
already begun shoveling Mississippi clay on
UF's coffin, Lee was smacked in the eye, the
Gators punched in the gut. MSU's fans groveled
in pleasure. The cheerleaders smiled in delight.
Just seconds earlier, Lee's eye had been white,
UF's chances had been bright. Just 49 years ago,
Starkville was a cheery place.

PIPELINE TO STARDOM


Clifford leads

Blue Wave to

seven titles
Editors Note: This is the second

the sLr*:es! of P.K. Yonge High's
football program. -

PK. Yonge High may have been
the joke of Gainesville football for
decades, but in the early '90s, the
Class 2A school was doing the
laughing. After nurturing two of the
greatest receivers in UF history, PK.
Yonge coach John Clifford became a
respected face at the Swamp.
"Every time one of my guys
would do something, I'd kinda get
to be the big cheese for a couple of
minutes, which was really kind of
cool," Clifford said.
And the cheese was just begin-
ning to age into a seasoned coach.
Clifford, originally a defensive-
oriented play-caller, continued to
develop his offensive genius. In '91,
Clifford's multidimensional attack
traversed paths with three of P.K.
Yonge's all-time explosive play-
ers. Running back Terry Jackson,
younger brother of Willie Jackson,
Jr., started high school there in 1990.
Wide receivers Robert Baker and
Travis McGriff arrived the next year.
"That's when things really got
going, i'ravis said.
Travis was the son of none other
than Lee McGriff, Clifford's team-
mate at UF in the early '70s. Playing
for Clifford was no coincidence.

P. K. Yonge coach John Clifford poses in front of photos of former Blue Wave players who have continued

Travis had played for Buchholz,
where he won the state champion-
ship as a freshman. But Clifford's
addictive offense, along with past
memories, was too much for his
father to ignore. Travis transferred,
adding a legendary chapter to P.K.
Yonge's history. Bud McGriff, Lee's
father and Travis' grandfather, had
helped establish PK. Yonge's origi-
nal athletic department in the 1940s.


"It was an ironic twist of fate that
I never imagined," Lee said.
Leaving its mark
RK. Yonge won its first district
championship in 1993 and recorded
undefeated regular seasons from
1999-2002. By the time the Blue

district championships. But it wasn't

nating the Gainesville high school
scene that made headlines. It was
the way Clifford's players had fun.
It was the way Clifford would crack
jokes in practice and relieve tension.
Travis remembers one Thursday
practice when he thought Clifford
went overboard. Just before game
day, Clifford's team practice a punt
return reverse to a lineman.
"We never actually ran it, but I


just thought, 'Are you kidding me?
You mean we're practicing this and
we might actually run this?' I was
just kind of blown away by the
whole thing," Travis said.
Having a good time was simply
Clifford's trademark.
"I think it was all about having
fun," Willie Jr. said. "The time he
came up in was a whole lot different
than it is now. When he came up it
was the hippie age and the time
of having fun. He kept that same
attitude with us, that it was about
having fun."
What also contributed to the
atmosphere were Clifford's philoso-
phies. Clifford has always played
his players on both sides of the ball:
Travis and Robert were cornerbacks;
Terry played safety.
"I think the one thing that they
get ... is that they just learn how to
love the game," Clifford said. "They
play defense, they play offense, they
kick, they play special teams."
The reputation P.K. earned
helped the triumvirate of Travis,
Robert and Terry garner immediate
collegiate attention. Robert, whom
Clifford tabbed the most talented
all-around athlete he ever coached,
signed with Auburn. Terry and
Travis followed in the footsteps of
their fathers and former teammates
by signing with UF.
By the mid-90s, UF coach Steve
Spurrier and Clifford had become
football partners. Spurrier's son,
Scotty, attended P.K. Yonge and
played on its junior varsity team.
Spurrier attended many of PK. foot-
ball games. There, of course, Clifford
would act his same old self.
"It was fun," Clifford said. "I
remember when he showed up the
first game, I asked him if he'd work
the chains."
Coming up in Part 3: Clifford's ath-
letes become NFL stars.

VOLUME 98 ISSUE 91 WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2005 Gator Party candidate declares platform Goldberg backs battles against new tuition and alcohol policies By BRIDGET CAREY Alligator Writer bcarey@alligator.org Gator Party presidential candidate Joe Goldberg announced his party's goals to fight against block tuition and an alcohol-free UF campus at a Tuesday rally. As nearly 75 faces focused on the former Student.Senate president as he stood on a platform on the Reitz Union Colonnade, Goldberg intertwined his lifelong Gators pride with reasons why students should cast their vote for him in the March Student Government election. "I was born in a family full of Gators, and I have always bled orange and blue," Goldberg said. Goldberg said, if elected, his administration would work to persuade UF leaders to extend the drop/add period to be "more realistic" as well as work with professors to have them "stop needlessly changing textbook editions." Block tuition was another issue Goldberg said he planned to fight against. Student Body President Jamal Sowell and his administration also have been vocal in their fight against the proposal, which would require all students to pay for 15 credit hours per semester, regardless of how many hours they register. Goldberg said what makes him stand out from the competition, including the Dennis Ngin-led Impact Party, is the experience and knowledge he gained throughout his time as a senator and Senate president. "It's all about building relationships," he said. Ngin is the current Student Body Treasurer under Sowell.

A jury concurred Tuesday, handing down the sentence that begins his new one: permanent consignment to prison for first-degree murder. The jury deliberated for only an hour before finding the 21-year-old guilty of killing his guardian, UF adjunct Barbara Roth, 51, by beating her to death with a baseball bat in 2002. "This is not the tragedy in the sense of some accident," prosecuting attomey Marc Peterson said during closing arguments. "Justice in this case is returning a verdict of first-degree murder because that's exactly what Tavares Williams did."

After insurance, advertising, food and the Xbox rental were added, the estimated cost of the concert is more than $146,000.

Tuesday's job opportunities ranged from companies such as Amazon.com to the public service sector represented by the U.S. Department of State and the Georgia Department of Transportation. "When comparing the Spring Showcase of 2004 to this year's, the show has increased by about a dozen companies," said CRC assistant director Nadene Francis. "We've even grown compared to last year's Fall. The show is an excellent opportunity for hiring managers to correct with the student population." Joseph Rojo, an academic adviser for the Warrington College of Business, said it's all about preparation. "Go in looking really sharp,,' Rojo suggested. "Set career goals for yourself before you go, and research the companies that may help you reach your goals before you introduce yourself."

A second Senate approval is needed next week for the renovation of the 36-room hotel to become a reality. But the bill's initial approval was met with heated discussion that lasted through midnight.

The conumission appointed jail consultant David Bogard of Pulitzer, Bogard & Associates, plus a staff of five, to evaluate the jail and its inner workings for about $150,000. "This is a continuous issue," said County Commissioner Mike Byerly. "This is a decision-making day." Alachua County Sheriff's Office spokesman Jim Troiano said the expenditure is an inappropriate allocation of money in light of four national reports done last year that brought back positive remarks about the jail. "That's a lot of money, and what are they going to do that hasn't already been done?" Troiano said. "We do a stellar job." Chairwoman CynthiaChestnut said the decision should be made despite the absence of Alachua County Sheriff Steve Delrich, who was not represented at the meeting. "This has gone on long enough," she said. Commissioners agreed the decision is overdue, as talks began over a year ago. Oeirich Troiano said the commission does not operate, supervise or manage the jail and when it did, seven years ago, the jail faced two civil rights violations, an escape and numerous accountability issues. Bogard said his racialand gender-sensitive team will begin its analysis immediately, searching for what he referred to as a "subculture," something he said is in every organization. "Working in a jail is a very difficult occupation," Bogard said. "People try to skirt policies." Additionally, Bogard wants to look at the formal rules laid out by the jail. He said he wants to. see if the rules are sound and appropriate for the Alachua County community and if inmates and staff abide by their parameters. Bogard said he wants to see how jail personnel handle complaints, grievances and incidents. His company has completed 27 jail and prison cultural assessments in the past 10 years. "We have hands-on real experience," he said. He proposed that the process begin only under the complete cooperation of the sheriff's office, starting with document and information requests. In the coming months, the team will scrutinize the jail with interviews and tours. In May, the team will present its first-draft report after meeting with an oversight committee. It will have a completed assessment, including improvements and recommendations, by September.

4, ALLIGATOR U WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2,2005 Interviewers weigh pros, cons of provost hopefuls Three of six interviews complete By EMILY YEHLE Alligator Writer eyehle@alligator.org Faculty importance emerged Tuesday as a defining element of the ongoing search to permanently replace former UF provost David Colburn. Three of six finalists vying to be the university's No. 2 administrator emphasized the need for quality instructors and faculty input during interviews at the Hilton University of Florida Conference Center. "If you don't have great teaching at a university, it is not a great university. Period," candidate George Atkinson said. "Teaching is what we do." The other two candidates interviewed, Cristina Gonzdlez and Pramod Khargonekar, supported shared governance between faculty and administration. But the relationship between the two groups needs to improve, Khargonekar said. "There's always some dissonance between faculty and administration, but there's way too much at UF," he said. Khargonekar is the only candidate now working at UP. He is the dean of UF's College of Engineering, something that concerned some committee members who thought a national search should find someone from another institution. Others, however, were impressed by the dean's passion for UF and his plans for integrating research and academics. "In my mind, he has to be very, very strong for me to come down on his side," said Yngve Ohm, a UF chemistry and physics professor. Atkinson and Gonzilez, however, hail from elsewhere. On leave from duties as professor of chemistry and optical sciences at the University of Arizona, Atkinson works as the U.S. State Department's senior adviser for science and technology, a position that has led him to work with former Secretary of State Colin Powell. Gonzilez has worked for eight years at the University of California, Davis and is unique to the finalists for her humanities background. As a former senior adviser to the school's chancellor and a current professor, Gonzlez said recommendations from faculty and students are important to her decision process. "Consultation is to administration what research is to writing," she said. But the search comColburn mittee discussed whether Gonzalez's management style was too democratic. On the other hand, Khargonekar's self-described "lead and serve" style might be too hierarchical. For many of his responses, Atkinson drew from his experience in Washington, D.C., especially when speaking about international issues. "In many ways, we're all going to have to face the reality of competing with what has become a global community," he said. Atkinson's experience with fundraising and his personable character impressed some committee members, while others thought there was a lack of specific examples in his responses. "Some of his answers may have been a little one-dimensional," Interim Provost Joe Glover said. The interviews will continue today at 8 a.m. for Mark Thiemens, dean of physical sciences at the University of California at San Diego, and Arthur Epstein, director of the Ohio State University Institute for Magnetic and Electronic Polymers. Due to illness, the sixth candidate, Richard Hoffman, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Nebraska, won't be interviewed today as originally scheduled. Alligator staff writer Stephanie Gerry and writer Jeff Sirmons contributed to this report. TALAHASSEE Enifomrcemenwat Off mninhimulam 'Wage ftmt&ndm&-ent certain By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM Alligator Staff Writer jvanl@aligator.org TALLAHASSEE -Three months after 71 percent of Floridians voted to raise the state's minimum wage by $1, the state legislature is trying to iron out the details. The minimum wage will rise to $6.15 an hour May 2 -a change expected to affect more than 300,000 Florida workers -and will increase each year based on a local inflation index. But who will enforce the new law and how underpaid workers would claim compensation are questions still up in the air. A draft proposal in the House Judiciary Committee would require workers to give employers a 15-day notice before filing a wage complaint. If the employer paid the worker before the 15 days expires, the worker would be unable to file a lawsuit. The proposal also includes a "good faith" provision, lin iting possible damages if a business can show it had not deliberately tried to stiff its workers. Moreover, the plan would limit workers' ability to file class-action suits alleging pay violations. "We don't want regulation by lawsuit," said Bill Herrle, a lobbyist for the Florida Retail Federation. "That's our first bottom line. This amendment creates new causes of action, particularly class-action lawsuits, which are the most ineffective means of enforcing a law." "People should be concerned." Lamont Wright ACORN St. Petersburg chapter chairman Herrle said retailers would support any state or federal agency that was chosen to enforce the new wage. "By and large, wage laws do not have a major compliance problem," he said, adding that businesses that intend to comply with the law don't want inadvertent clerical errors to result in anew "cottage industry" for lawyers. Labor advocates said any new legislation must remain fully faithful to the provisions contained in the amendment that nearly three of four Floridians endorsed on Election Day. The plan makes no mention of a provision in the amendment that workers can demand double the amount of their owed back pay plus their attorney's fees if they prevail in a wage dispute. Nor does it contain provisions enabling the state attorney general to levy fines of up to $1,000 per incident. "People should be concerned," said Lamont Wright, chairman of the St. Petersburg chapter of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, which spearheaded the amendment initiative. "We've collected thousands and thousands of signatures to get this on the ballot, and we got it to pass," he said. "Why should [legislators] think they have a right not to honor it? The amendment is very clear." Bob Sparks, a spokesman for Florida Attorney General Charlie Crist, said Crist believes it is premature to comment on the measure because the legislature has yet to agree on who will enforce the law. The Florida Department of Labor and Employment Security was abolished by the legislature in 2002. And the Agency for Workforce Imnovation, which administers a portion of the old department's duties, said it does not have the money to do so.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 5 PUBLIC SAFETY Porn leads to ajrre-pst By MEGAN V. WINSLOW Alligator Writer mwinslow@alligator.org A local clerical secretary arrested in connection with child pornography is in the Alachua County Jail on a $100,000 bond. Gainesville Police arrested Robert Alan Costello, 8620 NW 13th St., Monday after a routine probation patrol officer uncovered an explicit manuscript about a father engaging in a menage a trois with his 14-year-old daughter and her friend, police said. Although Costello reportedly said the manuscript was a piece he wrote, police said he chose to illustrate the tale with nude photos of female children. According to court records, Costello was convicted of lewd and lascivious assault on a child in 2003. As Costello, 58, does not have access to the Internet at his home, police considered his workplace, Lighthouse Baptist Church, 2611 NW 68th Ave., which does have Internet access, as a possible source of the illegal photos. After scanu'ing the church's computers and conducting a forensic search, police located several floppy disks at the defendant's work station. On the disks were more than 2,800 images of pornography, including pictures depicting bestiality, police reported. Pornography is not illegal, but more than 102 of the images involved children having sex with each other or with adults, Kameg said. Costello's duties at the church never involved working with children, he said. Costello has been charged with one count of possessing photographs of a sexual performance by a child and two counts of promoting photography of a sexual performance by a child. Journalist wins UF award E DAN CHRISTENSEN EXPOSED SECRET TRIALS AFTER SEPT. 11. By JUSTIN RICHARDS Alligator Writer Dan Christensen shared his award-winning expos on post-Sept. 11, 2001, government .secrecy with UF journalism classes Monday and Tuesday. Christensen was presented Monday with the Brechner Center for Freedom of Information Award for uncovering the case of an Arab man who was detained without charge or trial and whose later court proceedings were stricken from public record. "[His series] is a bone-chilling reminder of what happens when we sacrifice civil liberties in the name of security," Brechner Center executive director Sandra Chance said in a press release. The story revolves around Mohammed Bellahouel, who may have been a waiter for two Sept. 11 hijackers at a restaurant in Deerfield Beach. He also was allegedly seen entering a theater with one of the terrorists. The government detained Bellahouel, 35, for overstaying his student visa -ano offense usually resulting in a citation, Christensen said. 'Bellahouel filed a request for release from unlawful imprisonment. Christensen saw Bellahouel's appeal on a Miami court calendar in March 2003. When he checked it again, it had vanished. Later, U.S. Marshals guarded the doors to the courtroom proceedings following .a brief interlude, he said. The case eventually went to the U.S. Supreme Court. Bellahouel was released after five months and now resides in Christensen Delray Beach. Christensen "I defini 'tely admire the fact that he did his job the way it's supposed to be done," said Brad Rosenberg, a UF journalism junior. The justice department didn't make his job any easier, though. No one would talk to Christensen about the case because of gag orders, and several documents were heavily censored. "It's guys like him, in the trenches, doing the dirty work, that make journalism worthwhile," reporting master lecturer Mike Foley said.

6, ALLIGATOl 1PWEDNESDAY,.FTBRUARY,2,2,005, Editorial Domestic focus Bush should cover more than Iraq in his address If you think President Bush is going to gloat about the Iraqi election for about half of his State of the Union address tonight, raise your hand. Thought so. Sure, the election turned out about as well as it could have. It won't be enough to silence critics of the war, as the president surely hopes, but likely it will somewhat improve public opinion of the administration's actions. Unfortunately, it sometimes seems as if Bush thinks "domestic policy" is something that happens to naughty presidents when they've been bad. If he wants to have the confidence of the American people, he must do all he can to prove this is not true. That's not to say he shouldn't discuss the election during his address. On the contrary, Iraq still is the most visible issue of the day, and Bush has a duty to inform the nation about the future of U.S. support in the region. He should present a plan for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq -not a detailed exit strategy, because the efficacy of the new Iraqi government remains to be seen, but at least a general breakdown of how the process will go. He should emphasize that the U.S. presence in Iraq will be acting at the behest of a sovereign nation, and that it will leave if asked to do so. Finally, he should begin a healing process for damaged relations with countries that disagree with the war. For this term to be successful, however, Bush must present a domestic agenda as strong and clear as his foreign policy. Everyone knows the president's positions on extending freedom and protecting the United States from terrorism -and, on the strength of these positions, he has been given a chance to correct his vague plan for issues within the nation. On the home front, it is likely he will spend the most time touting his plan to privatize Social Security. Citizens and politicians alike need much convincing if the plan is to go through, as even conservatives are skeptical. If he wants to do the best thing for the country, however, he will de-prioritize the issue. Social Security must be reformed to some extent before it has a chance to collapse, but it is not one of the most pressing problems of the day. More important are efforts to balance the budget and eliminate the deficit. Bush undoubtedly will lead his discussion of the economy by promising tax cuts but, before he rewards Americans with kickbacks, he should spell out a plan to get spending back under control -especially in a time when billions are being spent on military operations ii the Middle East. Education is another issue in which Bush needs to explain how he will accomplish the goals he has set. Since the No Child Left Behind Act is unlikely to urdergo significant change (much less outright retraction), Bush must promise to provide proper funding to accomplish the plan's claims. If it is to succeed, he needs to come up with a compelling argument as to why the act is good for the educational system. Finally, Bush should put forth a defense of his plans for tort reform and immigration, both of which are unpopular. Again, Bush must present a clear vision of U.S. domestic policy in his State of the Union address if he is going to have the support of his citizens during his second term. There are many issues that need to be addressed, and he has many promises to keep. Once all of that is out of the way, the American people can tolerate a bit of gloating. all the independent orida Dwayne Robinson EDITOR Mike Girignani MANAGING EDITOR Matt Sanchez OPINIONS EDITOR Lauren Flanagan Diana Middleton Craig Singleton EDITORIAL BOARD The Alligator encourages comments from readers.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2005 ALLIGATOR, 7 SG access lacking for transfer students Editor: With all the "name-hijacking" that's been running rampant, we all know the Student Governrment elections will be fast upon us. We have seven plus parties and a veritable slew of candidates on their tickets. Anybody can grow up and become student body president, vice president or treasurer. If one works hard, gets involved and is supported by fellow students, then he or she too can have the opportunity to make a difference in the highest positions of student leadership. Power to the people, right? Of course, that only is if the definition of "people" excludes me and approximately 5,000 other UF students -we the not so few, the proud, the umelectable transfer students. You see, when it was mentioned (almost assuredly in jest) that I be one of a party's noninees for student body vice president, I was taken aback: It was definitely a funny thought. After all, this is my first semester. I don't think I even deserve to campaign this early on. Still, it made me curious if it was even a possibility to run in one's first semester. What I discovered is I effectively never can campaign on an executive ticket. According to the SG Constitution, Article IV, Section 8, Qualifications to ar for office: "Candidates for the offices of student body president, student body vice president and student body treasurer shall have completed a minimun of three academic semesters, excluding summer semesters, at the University of Florida." I can rm at the, end of my senior year then, eh? I'll just delay graduation a year to take office. That seems fair. Right. Maybe it's a mistake, though. Maybe it was simply meant to keep "inexperienced" freshmen out of office. Yeah, that's the ticket! Forgive the pun. Nevertheless, if this isn't changed, it disqualifies about 10 percent of students from even thinking about riunrfing. Let me tell you, that sure gets me excited about SG. But then, perhaps it was intentional. How could a transfer student be qualified for the highest positions of student leadership? After all, transfer students aren't leaders -we're a bunch of schmucks who took a backdoor route into UF, right? Heck, what would I know about SG, much less UF? Take my word on this: I've been here for four weeks, and I guarantee that I already know more about SG than the majority of students -no offense to that majority. I, plus many others, also might have experience which would translate quite well to SG. If not in a transfer student's first semester, you'd think we'd be qualified to campaign by the end of our junior year. Alas, not under the current system. I never presumed I'd be able to campaign and then actually win an executive office when I got here. Still, it's mighty depressing to know I can't even try. ductive options.

ALLIGATOR U WEDNESDAY,-FEBRUARY2; 2005 --Rats found to be better at counting beer calories By SKYLER SMITH Alligator Writer ssmith@amligator.org Rats may be smarter than humans, a UF study found, at least when it comes to balancing beer consumption with maintaining their waistlines. In three separate experiments, six male and five female rats were given beer, a sugary solution with beer in the mix or a sweet gel. The rats, unlike humans, took the alcohol's calories into account and stopped before they drank too many, said Neil Rowland, chief researcher and a professor with the UF Department of Psychology and the Evelyn F. & William L. McKnight Brain Institute. "We wanted to know if they counted calories," Rowland said. "They liked the beer and Jell0 stuff," Rowland said. "But they don't drink it to enormous excess like humans do." The animals were given free access to water and regular food during the experiment. The voluntary aspect of the experiment is important, Rowland said. The animals chose to drink the alcohol, just as humans do, but they stopped after what would amount to three or four drinks. While the alcohol would constitute nearly half of some of the rats' daily calorie consumption, they would cut back proportionately on eating. Rowland said he thinks the fact that humans do not count drinks, alcoholic or not, as calories is part of America's obesity problem. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 65 percent of adults and 16 percent of children were considered overweight or obese in 2000. Man sentenced to life in prison for murder of UF adjunct professor WIL LIAMS, from page 1 in tears as the verdict was read. "She gave him a home," he testified Monday Barbara Roth's home was shattered when Williams greeted a returning Roth on Jan. 24, 2002 by telling her he had a surprise for her. Williams then retrieved the bat from his room and struck Roth on the left side of her face and twice more on the back of her head. This action, Peterson said, was premeditated, a condition first-degree murder carries. Williams' girlfriend at the time, Michelle Waller, testified that Williams confessed to her that he intended to stab Barbara Roth on a walk they took together less than a week before the murder, but he was "too scared" because "there were too many people around." She said that after killing Roth, Williams came to her house and confessed, in detail, to the crime. Waller nevertheless allowed him to stay the night, even leaving him a key to the house when she left for school in the morning, despite her aunt remaining in the house. "I couldn't believe he would do that. I was scared," Waller said about not calling police. But that's not the story Williams gave when he initially was interviewed by police. GPD Detective Joe Senn said Williams seemed "disturbed" when he arrived back at the Covered Bridge apartment complex that afternoon. But when confronted during interrogation with a contradicting scenario relayed by Waller, Williams confessed. "I was just mad," Williams said. "I was hopin' it was just an illusion, that I'd open the door and she'd be right there." He said there was no logical explanation for his actions. The physical evidence also supported the latter confession, as conveyed by forensic pathologist William Hamilton. Though the defense in opening statements contended Williams "was suicidal and on Prozac for months and months and months before this event," the questioning was not pursued during the course of the trial. Preliminary searches of Barbara Roth's apartment actually found two bottles of Paxil, another antidepressant. After Williams waived his right to testify, defense attorney Ellie Wilkov rested her case without calling any witnesses. State Attorney's Office spokesman Spencer Mann said this was not unusual. "Sometimes, that's a double-edged sword," Mann said. "There are some things that are pretty hard to overcome." Wilkov did motion for Judge Cates to render a direct acquittal on grounds that police did not readminister Miranda rights to Williams before the second interrogation. The motion was denied. In closing statements, defense contested a letter found in Williams' trash, saying what earlier was described as "basically telling the world what [Williams] was about to do" could be "as indicative of suicide as it is of murder." wegan v. winslow / Aiigator btarn Tavares Eugene Williams looks on as attorney Ellie Wilkov presents evidence Tuesday. After a short, two-day hearing, Williams was found guilty of first-degree murder. Wilkov declined comment as she left the courtroom after the verdict. Sentencing commenced immediately, -as a conviction of first-degree murder carries with it mandatory life-imprisonment. The state announced before the trial that it would not seek the death penalty for Williams. Sam Roth asked to make a statement he intended to make when he was called as a witness, a request earlier declined. This time,Judge Cates beckoned him to the lectern, where he read the final paragraph of his daughter's thesis. Barbara Roth considered taking in Williams "the greatest adventure of all."

English professor Ronald Carpenter has been studying rhetoric, the art of using language persuasively, for almost 40 years. Carpenter released a book, "Rhetoric in Martial Deliberations and Decision Making -Cases and Consequences" in December detailing his findings. Through case studies of military procedures and actions, Carpenter found officers in the military commonly use rhetoric as a tool to influence their peers on wartime decisions. "In all of the cases I studied, I worked with the correspondence of the people involved," Carpenter said in a release. "I worked with their oral histories, their remembrance of what went on in the meetings and the transcripts of the meetings, so that I could look very closely at the language that was used." Carpenter, a former Air Force-officer, said persuasive language can be used as a call to action or caution. U F Whichever stance he or Research she chooses, the officer must use rhetoric to convince others of the plan's merit. As an example, Carpenter cited the invasion at Inchon during the Korean War. The Joint Chiefs of Staff decided that Inchon was too dangerous a place to land when Gen. Douglas MacArthur rallied them to action in a famous speech. An example of rhetoric not used in internal military meetings, but with the public, was the Vietnam conflict, said UF history department lecturer Steven Noll. Noll cited then-Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara telling the American people of "the light at the end of the tunnel." "Even if all of the evidence points to the fact that things aren't going well, we can spin it to make things look better than they are," he said of the government's rhetoric on the war. p W E N E AY A LEARN HOW YOU CAN LEAD THE MOVEMENT TO END EDU NATIONAL IN EQUITY.

ALLIGATOR WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2005 www.alligator.org/sports RECRUITING L;oatc h e S w aI t for letters from prosp,%ects To pour in By ERIC ESTEBAN Alligator Writer eesteban@alligator.org As the grueling month of January comes -o an end, UF coaches will no longer be on the -ecruiting trail as ambassadors of orange and >lue. Instead, they will be waiting like office secretaries for letters of intent to be faxed in rom around the country. Coach Urban Meyer and staff had less :han a month to assemble their class, but have entered unprecedented territory. The Gators' current class is ranked No. 6 in the country by Scout.com, but even more impressive is the turmoil that they have faced amidst the change. "All things considered, to be in the top 10 is extraordinary, but they need to fill their needs at linebacker," said Jamie Newberg, national recruiting analyst. "Out of 22 coaching changes this year, Florida will probably finish the best." .Despite the loss of recruiting coordinator Mike Locksley to Illinois in the middle of January, Meyer has been able to recruit many "I'll most likely be signing with the Gators. You never know till the ink hits the paper, but I'll be most likely heading to Florida." Dorian Munroe UF recruit athletes for his system. He has even swayed a handful from other schools in his efforts to build a strong program of UF football for the next four years. e11 d-half surge crushes UF's hopes By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@aliigator.org STARKVILLE, MISS. -As the Gators entered a definitive three-game stretch, confidence filled the locker room. Criticized for its lack of physicality, UF seemed to have found some inside power recently, garnering a 12.2 rebounding advantage against the Southeastern Conference. But on Tuesday, UF (13-5, 5-2 SEC) finally met its first big bully on the SEC block. And after holding their ground for one half against a bigger, more experienced and more physical frontcourt than they've seen this season, the Gators ultimately succumbed to a 12-0 second-half Mississippi State surge, resulting in a 71-57loss. Senior forward David Lee had a double-double with i5 points and a game-high 12 rebounds, while Anthony Robernn had a team-high 17 points. "rMSU] did a great job," Lee said. "They have a great front line. It's the first time a lot of our Men's Basketball younger guys have played in such a UF 57 physical situation." Miss. St 71 The UP big men mustered all they could to out-rebound the Bulldogs and returning SEC Player of the Year Lawrence Roberts, 17-14, in the first half. But the Bulldogs used a 25-14 second-half rebounding urge to control the glass. For the first 20 minutes, the Gators, led by Lee, held the SEC's leading rebourder and scorer to a nere 4 points and three rebounds. Lee held his own against Roberts in the first half, scoring A [1 and grabbing six rebounds. But with all eyes on Roberts, other Bulldogs stepped up. senior guard Shane Power, who finished with a game-high 18 points, hit several key shots for the Bulldogs during their ;ame-clinching run. And with Roberts gaining most of the defensive pressure lown low, senior center Marcus Campbell took advantage. M 7 feet, 270 pounds, Campbell emerged in the paint, often ;ingle-guarded, for an 11-point, seven-rebound first half. The Bulldogs' unusual suspect, however, wasn't limited [o one end of the floor. After throwing down a dunk for a 25-19 MSU lead with 1:27 remaining in the first, Campbell swatted one of his five Cirst-half blocks off a driving layup from UF junior Matt Rgeilo Sais AP Photo Walsh, who then thudded to the hardwood.

UF has the strong possibility of finishing with a top-five recruiting class when the dust settles today, but even if the numbers don't favor the Gators, Meyer has certainly left his first mark as head coach by his push for quality. UF's commitment list is currently ranked No. 3 nationally, with a rating of 3.81 out of 5 stars on Scout.com, trailing only Southeastern Conference rival Georgia and two-time defending national champion SEE RECRUIT, PAGE 19 This is no Gator's land STARKVILLE, MISS.

For the second time in three months, the Gators were the unlucky few. "It was just a frustrating night on the offensive end," forward David Lee said. "It's hard to put a finger on it." The Gators fell to Mississippi State at the Hump 71-57 on Tuesday. On Oct. 23, 2004, UF's football team, drained of all pride and shaken of all hope, fell to the Bulldogs as well. You may remember the scene. Pubescent Starkville college teens racing amuck at Scott Field. Hats falling off, ponytails unraveling as the students charged for the goal posts faster than the speed of Ron Zook's firing. "Ah, don't talk about the football team," Lee said.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2,2005 E ALLIGATOR, 19 RB still retireteN Ex-Gator still may leave the NFL STAFF REPORT Emmitt Smith won't budge. After ESPN.com reported Tuesday that Smith's confidants confirmed his imminent retirement, the NFL's alltime leading rusher and former UF great denied the report. ESPN's SportsCenter played a tribute to Smith, but as of Wednesday night Smith was still a member of the NFL, albeit a free agent without a team. ESPN also ran an Outside the Lines episode Tuesday night profiling Smith's career. "Did you see my year last year? Do you think I'm ready to retire?" Smith said in a report on the Dallas Morning News Web site. Smith played at UF from 198789, setting numerous school records including UF's single-game rushing record of 316 yards against New Mexico. Smith left UF in 1989 following his junior season and entered the NFL Draft. As a member of the Dallas Cowboys, Smith won three Super Bowls and was named MVP in the 1993 win against sIh the Buffalo Bills. He would go on to rush for 18,355 yards and 164 rushing touchdowns, both NFL records. After an unproductive season with Arizona in 2003, Smith reemerged this season to rush for 937 yards and nine touchdowns for the Cardinals. Various publications had Smith retiring on Thursday and buying into the Minnesota Vikings franchise, which is currently for sale. SEC gives Gators honors STAFF REPORT Just one week after having two Southeastern Conference athletes of the week, UF is at it again. And one was even the same. Senior thrower Liz Wanless was named the SEC Field Athlete of the Week for the second consecutive week while sophomore Savannah Evans was named the SEC Gymnast of the Week, the league offices announced Tuesday. Wanless took first in the shot put at the UNC Invitational with a NCAA automatic mark of 17.29 meters. It was Wanless' fourth shot put title already this year in just five events. She is currently ranked No. 2 in the shot put in the Trackwire.com "Dandy Dozen". Her throw of 17.42 stands as No. 1 in the SEC so far this season. For Evans, it is her first such career* honor. She gave the Gators a meet-winning performance on floor exercise as No. 5 UF defeated No. 4 Alabama 196.55-196.35 on Jan. 28. The Gators needed a 9.775 or better from Evans to win the meet and Evans matched her collegiate-best floor score of 9.95 to share the evening's event title with defending NCAA floor champion Ashley Miles. However, that wasn't even Evans' highest score ever. She scored a 10 on vault last season. The gymnastics team will face Georgia this Friday in Athens. Undecided commitments may still swing to UF RECRUIT, from page 18 Southern California. The plethora of star recruits already orally committed to the Gators ranges from defensive firepower to special teams reinforcements. Dorian Munroe, ranked the No. 11 defensive back by Scout.com, de-committed from the Seminoles several weeks ago after taking his visit to Gainesville and pledged himself to Meyer. However, his final decision today won't come without a little suspense. "I'll most likely be signing with the Gators," Munroe said. "You never know till the ink hits the paper, but I'll be most likely heading to Florida." The Gators' highest-ranked commitment comes from Daytona Beach Mainland defensive back Avery Atkins. Ranked the No. 4 defensive back in the country, Atkins has been actively recruiting for the Gators, wooing teammate Brian Ellis into committing to UF just days ago. The loss of kickers Matt Leach and Matt Piotrowicz will readily be filled by Jonathan Phillips, Scout.com's No. 2 kicker in the country. "Well, my last couple of seasons have gone pretty well," Phillips told Gatorcountry.com. "I made 18 of 21 field goals inside the 45, my touchbacks average for my junior and senior year is 95 percent, my game long [field goal]fis 47 yards and my practice long is 67." The Gators have already welcomed Josh Portis, the nation's No. 5 quarterlback, who is already enrolled at UF and eligible for spring practice. Portis, who was originally committed to Meyer while at Utah, is a dual threat in the pocket. As a senior in California, he ran for 748 yards and 11 touchdowns and passed for 2,027 yards and 30 touchdowns. Attempts to shut down center freed other Bulldogs HOOPS, from page 18 "i thought it was good but it could have been a lot better," Campbell said. "I could "We did about as a good have stepped it up a little bit a job as you can so against more in the second half." [Roberts]," Coach Billy In the second half Roberts Donovan said. "But we probjoined his teammate, earning ably took our chances with 9 of his 13 points and seven Campbell a little." of his 11 rebounds for his 50th Campbell finished with career double-double. 13 points, 11 rebounds and Donovan said he felt that seven blocks for his third early' foul trouble put some double-double of the season. of his young frontcourt players in unfamiliar situations. Freshman starting forward Al Horford and sophomore reserve Chris Richard both picked up their second fouls less than 11 minutes into the game, forcing freshman Joakim Noah and Lee to shoulder most of the defensive burden. Donovan said his younger players' play compounded the pressure on Lee, which led to his tiring. In the end, Lee and the Gators burned out, hitting 21 percent of their second-half shots for a season-low 38.5 field-goal percentage. "In the second half, I thought David Lee exerted so much energy with Richard and Horford being olt," Donovan said. "He probably got a little tired there in the second half." BULLPEN, from page 18 about the football team. But Tuesday night, after the Bulldogs deflated the Hump -their brick, black-cherry shortcake basketball arena -on the Gators, there was reason to talk football. The UF football team hasn't won in Starkville since 1956. The Gators have beaten MSU in Orlando, Tampa, Gainesville and even in Jackson since then -but not in Starkville. Not in the town with one hotel. Not where the phrase "college town" is defined as a glorified hick Pilgrim colony. Not in the town where there are more cows than people. Starkville owns the Gators. It owns Ron Zook, it owns Steve Spurrier and now it owns the UF basketball team as well. Tuesday night, the MSU basketball team won at the Hump for the 46th time out of its last 51 games. "It wasn't too good of a trip," freshman forward Joakim Noah said. The bloodshot right eye of Lee spoke, in a way cried, after the game. Lee scored 11 points and grabbed six rebounds in the first half. But late in the second half, after the Bulldogs had already begun shoveling Mississippi clay on UF's coffin, Lee was smacked in the eye, the Gators punched in the gut. MSU's fans groveled in pleasure. The cheerleaders smiled in delight. Just seconds earlier, Lee's eye had been white, UF's chances had been bright. Just 49 years ago, Starkville was a cheery place. tof Nh MnV y oo WODNHODAY1 Free drafts & wells for ladies $4 domestic pitchers for everyone Evans

20, ALLIGATOR E WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2005 PIPELINE TO STAR DOM Clifford leads BlOe Wave to seven titles Editors Note: This is the second of a three-part series profiling the so izess of PK Yonge High's football program. -. By LOUIS ANASTASIS Alligator Statf Writer lanastasisealligator.org EK. Yonge High may have been the joke of Gainesville football for decades, but in the early '90s, the Class 2A school was doing the laughing. After nurturing two of the greatest receivers in UF history, EK. Yonge coach John Clifford became a respected face at the Swamp. "Every time one of my guys would do something, I'd kinda get to be the big cheese for a couple of minutes, which was really kind of cool," Clifford said. And the cheese was just beginning to age into a seasoned coach. Clifferd, originally a defensiveeriented play-caller, continued te develop his offensive.genius. In '91, Clifford's multidimensional attack traversed paths with three of P.K. Yonge's all-time explosive players. Running back Terry Jackson, younger brother of Willie Jackson, Jr., started high school there in 1990. Wide receivers Robert Baker and Travis McGriff arrived the next year. "That's when things really got going,Wfravis said. Travis was the son of none other than Lee McGriff, Clifford's teammate at UF in the early '70s. Playing for Clifford was no coincidence.

Yonge coach John Clifford poses in front of photos of former Blue Wave players who have continued on to play college football. Five Blue Wave players made it to the NFL under Clifford's.tenure. Travis had played for Buchholz, where he won the state championship as a freshman. But Clifford's addictive offense, along with past memories, was too much for his father to ignore. Travis transferred, adding a legendary chapter to .K. Yonge's history. Bud McGriff, Lee's father and Travis' grandfather, had helped establish EK. Yonge's original athletic department in the 1940s. "It was an ironic twist of fate that I never imagined," Lee said. Leaving its mark .K. Yonge won its first district championship in 1993 and recorded undefeated regular seasons from 1999-2002. By the time the Blue Wave receded, EK. had won seven district championships.

It was the way Clifford would crack jokes in practice andrelieve tension. Travis remembers one Thursday practice when he thought Clifford went overboard. Just before game day, Clifford's team practice a punt return reverse -to a lineman. "We never actually ran it, but I just thought, 'Are you kidding me? You mean we're practicing this and we might actually run this?' I was just kind of blown away by the whole thing," Travis said. Having a good time was simply Clifford's trademark. "I think it was all about having fun," Willie Jr. said. "The time he came up in was a whole lot different than it is now. When he came up it was -the hippie age and the time of having fun. He kept that same attitude with us, that it was about having fun." What also contributed to the atmosphere were Clifford's philosophies. Clifford has always played his players on both sides of the ball: Travis and Robert were cornerbacks; Terry played safety. "I think the one thing that they get .is that they just learn how to love the game," Clifford said. "They play defense, they play offense, they kick, they play special teams." The reputation RK. earned helped the triumvirate of Travis, Robert and Terry gamier immediate collegiate attention. Robert, whom Clifford tabbed the most talented all-around athlete he ever coached, signed with Auburn. Terry and Travis followed in the footsteps of their fathers and former teammates by signing with UP. By the mid-90s, UF coach Steve Spurrier and Clifford had become football partners. Spurrier's son, Scotty, attended EK. Yonge and played on its junior varsity team. Spurrier attended many of P.K. football games. There, of course, Clifford would act his same old self. "It was fun," Clifford said. "I remember when he showed up the first game, I asked him if he'd work the chains." Coming up in Part 3: Clifford's athletes become NFL stars. ST NI T TR A.
