The number of Gainesville
traffic fatalities in the last week
equal that of all of last year fol-
lowing a Thursday-morning ac-
cident on North Main Street.
Candace Johnsorn,22,;began to
turn left from North Main Street
onto Northeast 53rd Avenue
when she drove her Ford Probe
into the side of a Chevrolet S-10
pickup truck holding two men,
Gainesville Police spokesman
Keith Kameg said.
According to" reports,
McArthur Burke, 82, and his
friend Travis Lee Mulberry, 51,
were driving east on Northeast
53rd Avenue when their vehicle
was struck by Johnson at ap-
proximately 11 a.m.
"It didn't take much," Kameg
said. "She hit the rear of his
vehicle and pushed into a side-

Plenty of seats still are
available for tonight's Snoop
Dogg concert at the Stephen C.
O'Connell center, but students
hoping to get discounted tickets
no longer can.
On Thursday, approxi-
mately half of the seats for the
8 p.m. show remained unsold,
O'Connell Center officials said.
The O'Dome can house up to
7,500 people for the event, and
of the 3,750 tickets already sold,
only 2,600 were to UF students,
said Darius Dunn, associate di-
rector for the center.
"I'm hoping that a lot of
tickets will be sold walk-up on
Friday," said Jeff Yeatman, chair-


several times betoru landing up-

Both were ejected during the
crash from Burke's Chevrolet,
an older, -nm!.lhir model of the
pickup truck.
Neither man was wearing his
seatbeft, Kameg said.
Mulberrywas l illEd ;n ti ntl
and Burke died within an hour
of being taken to Shands at UF
from injuries sus-

Safety accident,. according
to reports.
Investigators
believe Johnson wasn't driving
very fast when she turned her
vehicle and struck the. pickup
truck.
"She was pulling out, but we
don't know her speed," Kameg
said. "We believe she was com-
ing from a stop."

Revered rusher retires


NFL great ends


career with tears
By ANDREW ABRAMSON

There's nothing left for the overachiever to
achieve.
Emmitt Smith, who seemingly overachieved
at every level of his football career, retired on
Thursday as the NFLs all-time leader in rushing
yards and rushing touchdowns.
"I've given everything I can possible to the
game, on and off the field," said Smith, who was
in Jacksonville for the Super Bowl festivities.
Although Smith was a highly sought recruit
out of Pensacola, many skeptics questioned his

apparent lack of height and speed, doubting he
would star at UF.
It took just three games for Smith to silence
the critics.
In 1987, Smith saw limited action in a season-
opening loss to Miami, but in week three against
No. 11 Alabama, he broke out for a UF freshman
record 224 rushing yards in the Gators' surpris-
ing 23-14 road victory.
Smith never looked back, finishing the season
with a Southeastern Conference-best 1,341 yards
en route to 3,928 rushing yards and 36 touch-
downs in just three seasons in Gainesville.
He holds UF's single-game rushing record of
316 yards against New Mexico in 1989.
"It was an amazing sight to be able to hand
the ball off to him and see the way he ran the
football and the natural instincts he was blessed
with," said Kerwin Bell, UF's quarterback in

UF ADMINISTRATION

UF libraries may hinder Top-10 research aspirations


By EMILY YEHLE
Alligator Writer
eyehle@alligator.org

In order to compete with
America's top universities, UF's
library system must meet a "dire
need" of $11 million over the
next five years to better fund its
staff and build students' resourc-
es, officials say.
The university's goal to be-
come a Top 10 public research
institution might be hindered by
the George A. Smathers Libraries


system, which ranks 20th on a list
compiled by the Association of
Research Libraries, or ARL.
"It's one of the important tools
of a university," Faculty Senate
Chairman Pierre Ramond said.
"Universities are basically as
good as [their] libraries."
Scott Nygren, chairman of
the Faculty Senate's Council on
Academic Infrastructure and
Support, will give a report on
the situation at the Feb. 17 Senate
meeting, but will hold off on pro-
posing any action.


In the report, compiled by
library director Dale Canelas,
UF is ranked in
20 categories
against the Top
10 public uni-
versity libraries,
based on a 2002-
03 ARL list.
In six of the
Ramond seven categories
that fall under
the "university characteristics"
section of the list, UF outranks
at least seven df the Top 10 uni-


versities.
The amount of students, fac-
ulty and doctorate fields at each
school are among the characteris-
tics addressed in that section.
But in nine of the 13 categories
under the "library characteris-
tics" and "user support charac-
teristics" sections, all 10 institu-
tions outrank UF.
Those categories rank the
libraries' budgets, the total num-
ber of volumes each holds and
the number of volumes held per
student.


Also, UF's library faculty
salaries are ranked No. 93 of 114
university libraries in the United'
States and Canada.
For UF to become a top-tier
research university, its library
needs funds to address these
shortcomings, Canelas said.
"I find it distressing to be told
all the time that we want to be in
the Top 10 when we're funded at
around 35," she said. "You can't
do that because it costs us the
same to buy books as [University
of California at] Berkeley."

STUDENT LIFE

Students distribute Honor Code cards on campus


By MEGAN SEERY
Alligator Staff Writer
mseery@alligator.org

In a bid to boost academic integrity among
UF students, discount cards complete with the
university Honor Code soon will be distrib-
uted on campus.
The cards, which can be used at area busi-
nesses, such as Pita Pit and Casino's Pizza, are
a result of a project by the Bateman Team, a UF
public relations team.
"Hopefully, the card will be a daily re-
minder because students will see the Honor
Code every time they use it," team member
Ashley Zandy said. "They'll think of it when
they have an opportunity to do something
dishonest."
Of 815 students surveyed, 74 percent said
they had an average or below average under-


standing of UF's Honor Code.
And 24 percent of those surveyed said they
had cheated while at UF.
"We sampled large classes from several
colleges," Zandy said. "It was a non-random
sample, so our results cannot be generalized
for the entire university."
The team was given a challenge to pro-
mote academic integrity among students for
this year's Bateman Team contest, she said.
It's difficult to compare the number of UF
cheaters to those at peer institutions because
many schools are not obligated to provide
the information to the public, team member
Jeremy Katzman said.
Florida's public records laws could have
made available the survey results if it had been
conducted by the university.
Now that the team's results are in, it's
important for students to create awareness,


he said.
"Do you want to be competing against
someone who is cheating?" Katzman asked.
"It cheapens your degree."
"Do you want to be competing
against someone who is cheat-
ing? It cheapens your degree."
Jeremy Katzman
-Bateman Team member

The team, which has to submit its com-
pleted project in March, is working on a way
to evaluate the program's success.
"We'll see how many cards get passed
out," Katzman said, noting they are not valid
until students sign them. "Businesses will tell
us if students are using the cards."


The Dean of Students Office and Tutoring
Zone, which are co-sponsoring the project,
paid for 15,000 cards as part of the pilot pro-
gram. The dean's office may continue the pro-
gram if it is successful, Zandy said.
About 5,000 cards will be passed out to stu-
dents at special events and in some classrooms,
and the rest will be distributed during Dean of
Students Office programs like Preview.
Student Body President Jamal Sowell and
Vice President Jennifer Puckett signed the first
cards in a symbolic gesture Thursday after-
noon on Turlington Plaza.
And although he couldn't comment on in-
cidences of academic dishonesty at UF, Sowell
said ethics in the classroom are becoming a
major student issue.
"Cheating is common at universities na-
tionwide," he said. 'It's time that students
stop and evaluate actions such as these."


Volunteer program helps handicapped get in shape


ETHE PROGRAM IS HELD
TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS.

By MEAGAN PARRADO
Alligator Contributing Writer

Some walk faster than others,
some say hello clearer than the next,
but all the students from the Sidney
Lanier Center can smile.
Professor Christine Stopka of the
UF department of health education
and behavior takes the smiles to
heart.
Stopka provides UF students
with the opportunity to help men-
tally handicapped students from the
center with their fitness program.
Every Tuesday and Thursday at the
Living Well Faculty and Staff Fitness
Center, volunteers are paired with a
handicapped student to assist with
a warm-up, workout and an orga-
nized game.
"This program is a vital part of
their transition into society," she
said.
The Sidney Lanier Center stu-
dents, ages 13 to 22, have a future
in vocational employment. Without
the "Sidney Lanier Fitness/Research
Program, they wouldn't be able to
physically handle the workload,
Stopka said.
"When the program was created,
the scientific community thought
there was no way you could look at
adolescents with mental retardation


Alonzo Lewis and Danielle Wallach high five after completing an exercise at the Living Well Faculty and
Staff Fitness Center.


and pretest them, train them and
then post-test them," Stopka said.
"They said they wouldn't under-
stand what you were talking about


and that it just wasn't possible."
Yet, according to research stud-
ies by Stopka and others from the
department of health education


and behavior, the program vastly
improves the Sidney Lanier Center
students' stamina and strength.
Ann Goodman, a teacher at the


Sidney Lanier Center, helped Stopka
create the program in 1987 when
several employers complained that
"the students were not physically fit
to handle their jobs.
"I haven't received one com-
plaint since then," Goodman said.
Not only do the students im-
prove physically, they grow socially.
"This program is so meaningful
to my students," Goodman said.
"They consider the volunteers their
peers and friends."
The program appears to benefit
everyone involved, Stopka said.
"I often see more change in my
volunteers than I do in the Sidney
kids," Stopka said. "I think they are
surprised by the friendships formed
and how much they actually have in
common with the kids."
UF senior Taisha Richardson be-
gan volunteering last Fall to receive
service hours.
"The program changed the way
I looked at a lot of things. It became
hanging out with friends and not
just getting hours," Richardson said,
adding that she recommends it to
other UF students.
"It's one of the most exhilarating,
liberating things you don't know
what to expect," Richardson said:
"And then the kids come put a smile
on your face."
The program is held every
Tuesday and Thursday from 12:30
p.m. to 2 p.m. at Living Well and
always welcomes new volunteers.


Extravaganza showcases talent, celebrates black history


* THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1991 THAT
THE EVENT TOOK THE FORM OF A PLAY.

By LINDSAY TAULBEE
Alligator Writer
Itaulbee@alligator.org

Students in the University Auditorium on Thursday were
witness to two weddings, a birth and a graduation all in one
night.
The Black Male Extravaganza, hosted by Kappa Alpha Psi
fraternity as part of Black History Month, aimed to showcase
student talent.
Students rapped, danced, sang, played the piano and re-
cited poetry, all in the context of a play chronicling the events in
the life of one young man.
SThe play, entitled "His Journey: The Life, Longing and Love
of a -Black Man," showed how success can be defined differ-
ently from different perspectives, extravaganza co-director


Travis Lester said.
"It's just basically talking about how there are different
paths for black men," he said.
This year marked the first time the event took the form of a
play since the extravaganza was created
in 1991.
"We implemented the various areas
of talent on campus throughout the
play," he said.
Student performers from all comers
of university life performed, and event
Sco-director Andre Samuels wrote the
Black History original script.
Month "Everyone's part fit them perfectly,"
Lester said.
He noted the approximately 150
people in the audience visibly reacted to the onstage events.
"People were really into the play," he said.
The story began before the main character was born, with
the wedding of his parents.


SAfter his father's death, the story focuses on the main char-
acter, Walter Johnson, as he graduates high school and goes to
college. The story ended with Johnson's own wedding.
Woven into the play were performances by students who
sang, recited poetry, and danced, including a dance perfor-
mance by Apocalypse Dance Troupe. Students in the audience
sang along with the music and danced in their seats while hear-
ing the fictional Johnson's life story.
His parents' wedding scene drew "awws" from the mostly
female crowd.
"I expected a little bit bigger turnout, but I think the people
who were here really enjoyed themselves," Lester said.
Ronald Diltz, a UF theatre student who has been acting for
eight years, played the role of Johnson.
"They were interested in me playing the lead role," he said.
"I took the challenge."
Diltz said he felt everyone involved came together to put on
a good show.
"I was really, happy with the cast, and being able to pull it
off," he said.

Mr. UF Pageant shocks, delights for a good cause


* UF ATHLETES BRANDON
SILER, CARSON BASSETT AND
JUSTIN TORDI WERE JUDGES.

By IVETTE MENDEZ
Alligator Contributing Writer

Screams broke out Thursday night
at Alpha Omicron Pi sorority's char-
ity event as one of the contestants ap-
peared on stage wearing nothing but
shaving cream.
It seemed embarrassment was not
an issue for contestants as they went
to any lengths to win the title of Mr.
UF.
One even rode a unicycle while
wearing a blue Speedo.
But it was a Justin Timberlake im-
pression that won judges over at the-
Reitz Union Grand Ballroom.
Beta Theta Pi fraternity member
Chris Hart won the competition.
He beat out representatives from
20 other fraternities to be crowned
Mr. UF.
Co-chairwomen Lauren Regan
and Annette Taylor, both members of
Alpha Omicron Pi sorority, are using
half of the $10,000 raised this year to
support national arthritis research.
"Benefiting arthritis is very im-
portant to us, especially because one
of our sisters who graduated last year









Fr
.


suffers from arthritis," sorority mem-
ber Kitty Riggs said.
The other half of the funds will go
toward a scholarship created in hon-
or of sorority sister Lauren Weiss.
Weiss passed away in a car acci-
dent three years ago.
"Benefiting arthritis is very
important to us, especially be-
cause one of our sisters who
graduated last year suffers
from arthritis."
Kitty Riggs
Alpha Omicron Pi sorority member


What is special about this year's
event is that the sorority will finally be
able to complete Weiss' scholarship,
Riggs, a marketing sophomore, said.
The winner will receive a limou-
sine ride, dinner at Emiliano's and
a three-month membership at Orion
Gym, along with a variety of other
prizes donated by local businesses.
The money raised during the
event came from the 1,000 tickets
sold, entry fees and raffle tickets the
audience had the option of buying.
The four judges, three of whom
were UF athletes, had to duck as
articles of clothing from the contes-
tants flew through the air during the


show.
Local band Cadence also lent its
talents to the charity event by play-
ing during intermission.
"I heard about this event because
I'm friends with one of the guys in
the band," UF freshman Danielle
Vitale said.
She said it provided something
out of the ordinary to do during the
week.
Courtney Tie, a first-year English
major, attended the event because,
she said,"it is always good to fund-

6, ALLIGATOR U FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4,2005


Editorial
There comes a time in all students' lives when they have
to take responsibility for themselves.
For some, this means going off to college to live on their
own and learn how to pick out their own clothes.
For others, it means leaving school, getting a job and
starting a family or at least a mortgage.
Here at the Department of Darts & Laurels, however, it
means finally agreeing to pay for your share of the pizza.
Whatever the defining moment happens to be for you,
make sure you're ready to step up and be a man (or wom-
an).
So cut your hair, put on your grown-up clothes and get
out the door early to beat the morning traffic on your way to
this week's edition of...



Darts & Laurels

Because we're suckers for stories about estranged parents
choosing to take responsibility for their children, we kick
things off by extending a maybe-they-really-do-care-after-
all LAUREL to the Florida Legislature, the State University
System's favorite deadbeat dads, for giving UF $39 million
to partially make up for three or four years of endowment
support payments they were behind in making.
The payments, which are intended to match private
donations, still are a year behind. On the bright side, the
Legislature's recommitment makes UF hopeful it may see
money more often from now on.
Moving on to an example of people taking credit for oth-
er peoples' actions, we toss a somebody-thought-man-I've-
got-to-get-in-on-that-action DART to Iraqi insurgent group
the Green Brigade, who in a questionable-sounding video
sent to Al-Jazeera claimed responsibility for the crash of the
British military plane on the day of the Iraqi elections.
Much like an old B-rated war movie, the video opens
with a finger pressing a button on a box with wires com-
ing out of it and then cuts to the launch of a pair of missiles
or rockets. The video does not show any impact, however,
instead ending with footage of people walking through the
wreckage of a plane.
Yep, sounds like compelling evidence to us.
Then, wondering if maybe there are some things you
just shouldn't take responsibility for, we throw a how-
about-a-pom-and-lingerie-subsidy-next-time DART to the
crazy people in charge of Medicare for developing a new
program that will cover prescriptions for Viagra and other
sexual-performance drugs.
But the image of senior citizens being federally funded to
get jiggy won't be the only thing disturbing taxpayers, as the
extended program is expected to cost more than $500 billion
over the next decade.
To put this in perspective, Anthony Cordesman of the
Center for Strategic and International Studies estimated the
war in Iraq cost the United States $128 billion up to the end
of 2004 about a quarter of the 10-year figure for the new
prescription coverage.
Finally, we give a now-this-is-how-you-spread-peace-
and-freedom LAUREL to the leaders of Egypt, Jordan,
Israel and Palestine for planning a summit to discuss meth-
ods of decreasing tension in the Middle East.
The summit which will focus on the reduction of vio-
lence between Israelis and Palestinians should be a suc-
cess, because it's hard to imagine any ill-will surviving the
luxurious assault of Egypt's opulent Red Sea resort Sharm el
Sheik, where it will be held.
Hey, even the most responsible parents should be al-
lowed to take a vacation every now and then.

Opinions


ALLIGATOR
www.alligator.org/opinions


Column

Address was full of lies, contradictions


ickening. Watching George W. Bush take the podium
Wednesday night can be described as nothing else.
Nevertheless, I stomached the entire State of the Union
address and observedl something I already knew: W can't
go five seconds without contradicting himself or just plain
lying. Here are a few excerpts from his speech:
"We are working with European allies to make clear to
the Iranian regime that it must give up its uranium enrich-
ment program and any plutonium reprocessing."
Reality: England, France and Germany are negotiat-
ing with Iran over these issues. Yet, despite the European.
Union's urgings, the administration is steering clear of these
discussions altogether. If the United States does not step in
as'Bush claims we have, Iran will become a nuclear power.
"We are working closely with governments in Asia to
convince North Korea to abandon its nuclear ambitions."
Again, this is false. The six-party talks involving the
United States, Russia, China, Japan, South Korea and North
Korea are in suspension. Bush has rejected diplomacy in this
instance, saying it would "reward bad behavior." North
Korea resumed reprocessing two years ago and most likely
has built a couple nukes since.
"There are still regimes seeking weapons of mass de-
struction but no longer without attention and without
consequence."
That's a strange thing to say when we apparently are
ignoring both Iran and North Korea. It's funny Bush was
so concerned about WMDs a couple of years ago, but now
most of our military is committed to the one "Axis of Evil"
country without any.
"America will stand with the allies of freedom to support
democratic movements in the Middle East and beyond, with
the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world."
Does this mean W will take action against China and
Saudi Arabia? They aren't exactly "democratic." And what
if the citizens of a tyrannical Middle Eastern government
revolted right now? Would Bush send troops to help out?


"Judges have a duty to ensure all
i citizens' rights."
That is, unless they're homosexual
S ("I support a constitutional amend-
ment to protect the institution of
4 i marriage.")
Andrew Meyer "I will send you a budget that
Uncommon Sense holds the growth of discretionary
letters@alligator.org spending below inflation, makes tax
relief permanent and stays on track to
cut the deficit in half by 2009."
How exactly does Bush plan to make tax relief permanent
and cut the deficit in half at the same time? Aren't those mu-
tually exclusive goals? If the government has less tax money,
what are they supposed to pay down the deficit with?
"I have a message for every American who is 55 or older:
do not let anyone mislead you. For you, the Social Security
system will not change in any way. For younger workers,
the Social Security system has serious problems that will
grow worse with time."
Bush was surprisingly frank here: it seems his plan for
fixing Social Security is to screw the young. Everyone 55
and.up the powerful older voting bloc gets to stay in
the current system, while everybody else gets their benefits
cut. Where Bush is misleading Americans is when he tries
to tie in fixing the system with privatization. Personal ac-
counts have nothing to do with fixing the solvency of Social
Security. They merely are a devious method of reducing the
Social Security system's progressivity. The rich will get to
keep more of their own money than they do now, while the
poor will have to make do with less. The problem for Bush
will come if the people ever realize the benefit cuts neces-
sary for fixing the system would be much smaller without
personal accounts than with them.

Letters to the Editor
Change shouldn't end with North-South
Editor: I noticed they finally put up the
signs where North-South Drive used to be.
I knew the name change was coming since
football season when they announced they
would honor Gale Lemerand, co-founder of
Stonewood Tavern & Grill, who gave some
money to UF. That smacks of ego gratification,
but at least he's not a reputed racist like the
ln.iake I:,f :our basketball arena.
'ie'. mn ca-e y'--u IadIJ't heard, Stephen
C. O'Connell was a racist. He voted against
integration as a state Supreme Court justice
and all but ignored blacks on campus as presi-
dent of UF, arousing ]iLUridrid-d 'f -tudCit.- to
protest his policies by .ta .uqg sit-,,- .uid >-ven
mass withdrawals (see Dan Berger's column,
"O'Connell's Real Legacy is Racism" from the


Nov. 17, 2000 issue of the Alligator).
I propose that, in honor of Black History
Month and in light of our current president's
commitment to diversity, we rename the
O'Connell Center after someone who gave
more'than money to UF and its students
- someone such as Martin Luther King Jr.
or Mary McLeod Bethune, whose lives and
works signify more of what we aspire to be as
a uiu ersity in the 21st century.

Social Security too beneficial to gamble
Editor: As both my parents and grand-


parents retired to Florida, I'd like to relate the
experiences of two generations of my family to
the debate about Social Security.
I've seen firsthand how the Social Security
system as it stands helped my parents and
grandparents retire without fear of poverty.
My father lost a major part of his invest-
ments in mutual funds in the '70s, and then
he watched them dwindle in the '90s before he
was forced to jump that sinking ship again.
One set ofrmy grandparents also lost their
investments'ih the stock market crash of 1929,
and my other grandfather lost a thriving busi-
Sness to the resulting Depression. Each time
the r lia, bE.,-n a stock market "adjustment,"
-ma-i1 L n. I: -t.'r. lost security for their senior
years, but Social Security neither dwindled nor
disappeared. It provided just that: security..


-Now, my brother and I face our retirement
years with President Bush willing to gamble
that part of my security away, despite the his-
tory of regular downturns in the stock market
and the examples of the disasters of similar
privatization plans in Chile and Great Britain.
Before the safety net of Social Security, 50
percent of American seniors lived in poverty
- even during the boom times of the '20s.
Since the enactment of Social Security, only 10
percent live below the poverty line.
Bush may be willing to consign half of
U.S. citizens to financial hardship as they age
in order to boost Wall Street, but those of us
who are aware of the realities of privatization
are not.

Financial aid goes digital


Changes made to cut costs


By MEGAN SEERY
Alligator Staff Writer
mseery@alligator.org

In an attempt to cut costs
and response times, UF
Student Financial Affairs will
begin contacting all students
receiving financial aid elec-
tronically next week.
"All correspondence will
be sent electronically," said
Ron Anderson, associate di-
rector for Student Financial
Affairs. "Students will be
notified about outstanding fi-
nancial information via their
GatorLink accounts."
Hard copies of the first
e-mail, which will detail the
new process; will be sent to
students next week via the
U.S. Postal Service, he said.
All future newsletters will be
sent electronically.
The e-mails will direct


students to a financial aid
section on the Integrated
Student Information System,
or ISIS.
"We are going to shorten
the response time from fi-
nancial affairs to students,
eliminate the possibility of
lost mail and save monies in
postage," Anderson said.
Incoming freshmen will
receive hard copies of fi-
nancial documents but will
receive only e-mail notices
after their first year.
More than 38,000 students
receive financial assistance,
Anderson said.
Students who submit the
Free Application for Federal
Student Aid, or FAFSA, will
be notified electronically
about their award status in
late March.
In the past, private e-mail


providers such as America
Online have rejected or fil-
tered university correspon-
dence their systems errone-
ously reported as junk mail.
"We are going to short-
en the response time
from financial affairs
to students, eliminate
the possibility of lost
mail and save monies in
postage."
Ron Anderson
associate director for Stu-
dent Financial Affairs

"Students need to keep
their GatorLink addresses
valid," he said, noting stu-
dents should check their
e-mail options if forwarding
university messages to out-
side accounts. "They need to
make sure they check their
accounts on a regular basis."


PUBLIC HEALTH

Biomass use urged


By BRIAN HAGEN
Alligator Writer
bhagen@alligator.org

Any new power plant built to
meet Gainesville's future energy
needs should exclusively use
trees, leaves and other locally
available "biomass" materials
instead of imported petroleum
coke and coal, one UF professor
said Thursday.
Donald Rockwood spoke to the
Alachua County Environmental
Protection Advisory Committee,
which met to discuss alternatives
to the coke- and coal-burning
plant proposed by Gainesville
Regional Utilities that also
would utilize small portions of
biomass.
Biomass and city waste could
fuel a 300 megawatt power plant,


he said, citing a case in Orlando.
Orlando put its wastewater,
yard compost and mulch on in-
ferior land. Quick growing trees,
cottonwood and eucalyptus were
planted and reached full-size in
less than three years.
A power plant could be fu-
eled with the 30 tons of wood
per acre per year that the land
produced.
"Everyone wins energy
producers, landowners, commu-
nities and the carbon balance,"
said Rockwood, a professor in
the School of Forest Resources
and Conservation.
Using biomass would keep
money in the Gainesville area, he
said. Cheaper foreign imports of
paper and other pulpwood prod-
ucts destroyed the value of Florida
pulpwood for tree farmers.

PUBLIC SAFETY

Alleged Sigma Phi Epsilon assault in state's hands


By EVA KIS
Alligator Staff Writer
ekis@alligator.org

University Police filed a
sworn complaint with the State
Attorney's Office last week in the
alleged sexual assault of a minor
by a Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity
member last Fall.
"Our role is to see if we
have a prosecutable case," State
Attorney's Office spokesman
Spencer Mann said.


UPD has completed its inves-
tigation into an incident at a sa-
fari-themed party in the Sigma Phi
Epsilon house, 5 Fraternity Row,
on Sept. 25, UPD spokesman Joe
Sharkey said.
The State Attorney's Office is
reviewing the findings and will
be scheduling sworn testimony
with witnesses, reviewing forensic
evidence and coordinating any
necessary follow-up investigation,
Mann said.
As interviewing begins, Mann


said other names not previously
included as potential witnesses
could come up
and may be
S asked to provide
sworn testi-
money.
t s There's
no timeline as
to how long it
Sharkey will take us to
complete, the
investigation," Mann said, adding
that specific charges, if any, will


not be pursued until his office's
investigation is completed.
The victim, then 17, drank alco-
holic beverages made by her date
as well as several other drinks
during the course of the party, ac-
cording to reports.
She reportedly said she did not
remember what happened when
she woke up naked in her date's
bed with him the following morn-
ing. She filed a complaint after be-
ing treated at Shands at AGH.
The victim rescinded charges


soon thereafter but later asked the
investigation be pursued.
Mann said the severity of pos-
sible charges will not depend on
the victim's age.
"The issue we're dealing with
is sexual battery, which is a pretty
serious charge irregardless,"
Mann said.
Sigma Phi Epsilon has placed
itself on voluntary social proba-
tion since the incident, but Sharkey
said any further action against the
fraternity is at UF's discretion.


Alachua County Judge Jaworski sworn into office


Friends, family

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

A former defense attorney as
well as state prosecutor, Thomas
M. Jaworski has argued on both
sides of the courtroom.
On Thursday, however,
Jaworski officially took his place
on the bench with the other judg-
es of the Eighth Judicial Circuit as
he was sworn in as an Alachua:
County judge.
"It's just an honor and a
privilege to serve the citizens of
Alachua County," Jaworski said.
"It is one of the noblest callings,
being a judge, and I'm absolutely
delighted following the ceremo-
ny."
Before a crowd that included
Alachua County Clerk of the
Court J.K. "Buddy" Irby and
governor-hopeful Florida state
Sen. Rod Smith, Alachua County
Sheriff Steve Oelrich called
"court" into session at around 4
p.m.
Following Alachua County


Megan V. Winslow/ Alligator Staff
As his wife, Amy, and children Thomas and Emily look on, Thomas M. Jaworski is administered the oath
of office for Alachua County Court Judge by Circuit Judge Toby Monaco.


Judge Aymer "Buck" Curtin's
retirement in 2004, Jaworski beat
Gainesville trial attorney Bruce


Smith for the County Judge 5 po-
sition in the Aug. 31 primary.
Smith, a former state attorney


when Jaworski served as a state
prosecutor, congratulated his one-
time employee.


"I was just so proud of Tom
- he worked so hard to get here
and he has such good qualities
to make him a fine judge," Smith
said following the ceremony. "It's
wonderful for me recently so
many of my former staff- mem-
bers are now judges, and I hope
I treated them well now because,
as a practicing lawyer, I have to
get in front of all these people that
used to work for me."
Jaworski's mother and six
siblings traveled from as far as
Michigan to support him at the
ceremony, which was dedicated-to
his late father, Theodore Thomas
Jaworski.
"I always expected great things
from him, I really did for some
reason, and I can't express the
feelings that I have of pride and
joy for all my family to be here,"
Jaworski's mother said.
During his acceptance speech,
Jaworski thanked his wife, Amy,
and children Thomas and Emily
for their dedication and patience
during the campaign.
"I was just really excited that
he got the opportunity to do this
because he's wanted to be a judge
for a really long time," Emily
said.


Smith's stellar 15 seasons left legacy


EMMITT, from page 1

1987. "His durability over the year
goes back to his desire that he had
and really the type of person he
is. A guy less motivated with his
ability never would have been the
player he was."
Smith played for the Gators dur-
ing the program's transition years.
UF was a nationally recognized
program in the mid-'80s -- shortly.
before Smith's arrival reaching
No. 1 for a week in 1985.
But the program would end
up on probation for NCAA viola-
tions, weakening UF's national
exposure.
Even with a loss of scholar-
ships, UF would rise to No. 10 at
one point during Smith's freshman
season.
Smith entered the NFL Draft
following his junior season,
shortly after Steve Spurrier signed


a contract to coach UF
His NFL career lasted 15 sea-
sons, a lengthy tenure for a running
back. His 18,355 rushing yards and
164 rushing touchdowns rank first
all-time in the NFL, while.his 179
total touchdowns rank second to
Jerry Rice.
Smith would help lead a potent
Dallas Cowboys offense to three
Super Bowl victories, including a
1993 victory against the Buffalo
Bills when Smith was named
MVVP.
The eight-time Pro Bowler fin-
ished his final two seasons with'
the Arizona Cardinals.
"We knew he was something
special," Bell said. "[Of course] no
one ever thought it would happen
the way it did. But. he played so
many years, he was so durable and
that's why he was able to break
those records."
And while Smith's ability to
succeed was initially questioned at


"He was not the fastest or
biggest player, but he had
an uncanny ability with
his desire to go with it
- to [become] the greatest
runner of all time. It's an
honor that he played at UF
the way he finished in the
NFL."
Kerwin Bell
former UF quarterback

every level, there's hardly a ques-
tion as to which UF player had the
most success in the NFL.
"He was not the fastest or big-
gest player, but he had an uncanny
ability with his desire to go with
it to [become] the greatest run-
ner of all time," Bell said. "It's an
honor that he played at UF the way
he finished in the NFL."


Year's traffic deaths high

CRASH, from page 1

2004.
Johnson, although "very shaken up," was not injured in
the incident, Kameg said. At press time, it was not known
whether she is a student at either UF or SFCC.
GPD is investigating the incident but there have been no
charges filed, Kameg said, nor does he have a formal esti-
mate of what any potential charges would be.
Public Northeast 53rd Avenue was closed to traffic
Safety from Main Street to Northeast 15th Street for
approximately three hours.
The number of fatalities in the state of
Florida out of 243,294 traffic crashes during 2003 was 3,179,
according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Programs such as Click It Or Ticket have been imple-
mented statewide to enforce the mandatory seatbelt law
for drivers and their passengers.
Florida's traffic laws require that all occupants of a ve-
hicle wear seatbelts at all times while the vehicle is in mo-
tion, according to FHP.

3ators in dire need of impressive conference victory


VI EN, from page 20


etuming on Jan. 19.
Humphrey, who shot 48.4 percent and
averaged 10.8 points per game while starting
our games in Walsh's place, has averaged 4.8
ince Walsh regained his starting spot against
outh Carolina on Saturday.
Donovan, however, believes Walsh's
recent shooting woes have little to do with
uis physical condition and more to do with
gettingg back into the flow of the game.
"I know, as a player, when you're out for

3HAF, from page 20


three weeks like he was, and you get thrown
back into game situations, it's just different
Getting used to going again," Donovan said.
According to Lee,hat moment may come
soon for Walsh.
"I predict him carrying us in these next
two games to a victory," Lee said.
Whether or not Walsh will reemerge, the
Gators will have a tremendous task trying to
control an Alabama team who trounced MSU
98-49 on Jan. 18.
Junior forward Kennedy Winston, averag-
ing a league-third-best 17.8 points per game,
and senior guard Earnest Shelton, with a


he locker room doors if the Gators come up short on Saturday, the
erm better-win game might be more applicable.
After the Alabama game, five of UF's next seven games prior to
he season finale against Kentucky are on the road. And even in a
town year for the Southeastern Conference, road games in the SEC
ire never a given.
A loss against the Tide could send the Gators into a tailspin an
'vent that might eventually earn them a spot in the (gasp!) NIT. Given
heir recent Tournament track record and the growing swell of sup-


sixth-best 17.4 points, have led the Crimson
Tide (17-3, 6-1 SEC) to an SEC-second-best
78.7 points per game.
"We all saw them kill Mississippi State,"
Humphrey said. "So we're going to have to
take these next two days pretty serious."
And for Lee, getting serious pertains to
not just himself, Walsh or leading scorer
Anthony Roberson, but the entire team.
"We'll take [walk-ons] Jack [Berry] and
Garrett [Tyler] coming off the bench, hav-
ing 20 each anyway we can get a victory
at this point," Lee said. "We're looking to go
6-2. That's the biggest thing right now."


port for an increased amount of mid-major births, combined with the
overall underachievement of the SEC, it's not all that far-fetched.
Now stiffen up that upper lip because here is the good news. A
win on Saturday could be just what the Gators need to get back into
contention in the SEC East.
They are still 5-2 in conference and have yet to play up to their
ability. Donovan surely needs to fix some things in terms of execu-
tion. Matt Walsh needs to prove he did not let his oversized heart cure
his ankle prematurely. And the freshmen need to show that they are
ready for primetime game in and game out. All of which are distinct
possibilities.
But it all starts with a must-win, I mean, better-win, game on
Saturday.


Fouls costly

WOM EN, from page 20
Both teams were hampered by
the officials, who called 62 fouls
in the contest. Each team had
three players foul out, includ-
ing Mosby. Tennessee coach Pat
-Summitt said it was frustrating
to watch a game with so many
fouls.
With Tennessee shooting 40 of 46
from the free-throw line, compared
to UF's 24 of 34, Peck said it was "al-
most like a game of horse" and free
throws should not have determined
the game.
"Our players don't have a clear
understanding of how they're go-
ing to be allowed to play the game,"
Peck said. "We're trying to play a
game. Basketball is more than just a
game of free throws."


Don't die of

embarrassment.

Yes, it could be
embarrassing to ask a
man to wear a condom,
especially if you don't
know him very well.
"But that's exactly
who you need to
ask -the man you don't
know. And if he says
no, so can you.
Because you just
can't be sure who's

Not having sex is one.
sure way to avoid AIDS.
If you decide to have
sex, using a condom is
your best protection.
It's as simple as
that. AIDS is incurable,
and if you get it, you'll
likely die..
Lo start carrying
condoms and tell your

Because the
consequences of getting
AIDS are more than just
a little embarrassing.
They're deadly.

Gators seek road win


By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer
dtreat@alligator.org

All athletes have to deal with hostile
crowds. Screaming while an opponent
shoots a free throw or stomping feet dur-
ing a big drive have become traditions of
rabid fans.
Imagine, however, having to do back-
flips on a four-inch-wide piece of plastic
and rubber with 8,000 people barking at
you.
This is just one of the many challenges
facing the No. 5 Gators gymnastics team,
which faces No. 7 Georgia tonight.
"It's hard; I'd be lying if I said it
wasn't," Coach Rhonda Faehn said. "The
good thing is that the majority of those in
our lineup have experienced it and been
through it before."
One of those experienced performers
is senior Orley Szmuch, who will be com-
peting in the all-around competition for
the first time since the two teams met at
the Super Six Challenge four weeks ago.
Szmuch has been hampered.by a sur-
gically repaired ankle that has plagued
her for almost a year.
This meet will give UF a chance to
prove it can handle the pressures of the
road.
"I think it's big for our confidence,"
Szmuch said. "If we can go into this meet
and get a good solid score and win, I think
to walk away from that and to go to SECs
and nationals would be a big confidence
boost for us."
Wins on the road against the Bulldogs
have been hard to come by for the Gators.
UF has not defeated Georgia in Athens
since the 1985 NCAA Southeast Regional
championships.
The Gators haven't won a dual meet
of any kind against Georgia since 1990,
but they did defeat the Bulldogs at both
the Super Six Challenge and NCAA


Qualifying Meet in 2004.
UF will enter four gymnasts in the all-
around competition for the first time this
season. Breanne King is the only Gator to
be in the all-around every meet this sea-
son, and she will be joined by Katie Rue
and Ashley Reed, who returns after being
held off floor exercise in last week's win
against Alabama.
"If we can go into this meet
and get a good solid score and
win, I think to walk away from
that and to go to SECs and
nationals would be a big confi-
dence boost for us."
Orley Szmuch
UFgymnast

One performer who is unlikely to
compete this week is Tracey Rai. She
has been suffering from shin splints and
Faehn does not want to cause a stress frac-
ture. The key to the meet, however, will
come from the Gators' ability to battle
the hostile environment that the team has
come to expect in Athens.
"At SECs last year, our last event, we
were on balance beam and Georgia was
on floor," Faehn said. "There were about
8,000 fans that were barking while we
were up on beam.
"You couldn't hear anything. You
could feel the floor vibrating, that's how
loud it was."
While UF's freshmen may have only
had a small taste of road hostility against
LSU three weeks ago, co-captain Erinn
Dooley feels that they'll be ready.
"Eachmeet that we go against an SEC
school, they learn more and more," she
said. "They're ready for whatever comes
their way, and they're getting that experi-
ence."


UF places in SEC ranks

This weekend is all about in-state rival-
ries for the UF men's tennis team, which
will host Miami today and then travel to
Tallahassee for a match against Florida
State on Sunday.
UF has unfinished
business with No. 47
Miami. Last year, the
teams were vying for
the lead when the match
was interrupted by rain
and-canceled.
"We almost lost
Mirzadeh to them last year;
we're ready to go. It's
an in-state opponent and we hate the
Hurricanes," Hamid Mirzadeh said.
"We're pumped for it."
Despite Miami's rank, which is much
lower than UF's No. 3 ranking, Coach


Andy Jackson said the Hurricanes are still
a tough team.
"We'll have to bring our 'A' game. Last
year we were ranked much higher, but they
were still winning when the rain came,"
he said. "We've had two good-quality
practices and things are going pretty well,
but we don't know how well because we
haven't really had a sustained number of
matches, which is about to start."
Because last Sunday's Duke match was
called off due to an ice storm, this is the
first weekend in which the Gators will
play two matches.
Sunday's match against the Seminoles
will be the Gators' first on the road. UF has
beaten FSU in their last eight meetings, but
Jackson said he feels FSU is undelranked
and that the match is going to be the most
severe test for the Gators thus far.
"[Florida State] probably is a top-25
team and they're only ranked 40," he said.
"So they've got a chip on their shoulder
and we've got something they want."

For 40 minutes they hung with
one of the best teams in the land.
They did everything necessary
to win: they shot for a better per-
centage and won the rebounding
battle.
When it came to overtime, how-
ever, the scoreboard had the visitors

Mosby had the ball in her hands.

just a thing that happens in basket-
ball."

While Mosby played well, se-
nior Tashia Morehead was just as
good. Her three-pointer with 1:33
left in the second half brought UF
to within 1 at 67-66. Morehead said
that when she took her shot, she
was thinking about nothing else.
"When you shoot, your mind is
blank," she said. "You can't think
about nothing else."
.Peck said that Mosby and
Morehead, who was 4 of 6 for 13
points and seven rebounds, played

UF anticipates tough match


GATORS FACE HIGHEST-
RANKED TEAM TO DATE.

By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
bapp@alligator.org

Sophomore Lee Humphrey
remembers the last time he faced
Alabama. How could he forget?
The reserve-turned-starting
two-guard hit a' 17-foot buzzer
beater from the baseline to give
UF a 75-73 overtime win against
Alabama in the 2004 Southeastern
Conference quarterfinals.
"Oh, that's probably the best
Single play of my career so far
- high school, any level," said
Humphrey with a humble grin.
The shot earned Humphrey,


who contemplated redshirting his
freshman season, celebrity status
and jump-started the Gators to
their first SEC Tournament cham-
pionship game since 1994.
Now, the Gators hope they,
can recapture that sharp shooting
when they face No. 11 Alabama
at the O'Connell Center on
Saturday.
Following a loss to Mississippi
State and with the attention of
many influential members of the
sports media just to the north in
Jacksonville, UF will attempt to
garner some national attention
in the second of a tough three-
game stretch that concludes at
Kentucky on Tuesday..
"It's one of those things you
can't wdrry about while you're
playing," said senior forward


David Lee. "But as you look
back, I'm sure these are the games
people will be watching. And
Alabama is another Tournament-
quality team, like we are."
The SEC's top-scoring Gators
were held to a season-low 57
points, while shooting a season-
worst 38.5 percent in the loss to
the Bulldogs, as UF again ap-
peared to be adjusting to the rein-
tegration of guard Matt Walsh.
Walsh was 1 for 5 against
MSU, as his team suffered a 9 for
29 second-half shooting slump.
While Coach Billy Donovan
cautioned that Walsh wouldn't
immediately become his former
self following a three-week hiatus
due to a severe ankle sprain, the
junior has shot 25.9 percent since

Win could turn the tide


After getting thumped at
The Hump, the UF bas-
ketball team returns to
the O'Dome on Saturday with a
bruised ego and that familiar air
of skepticism filling its lungs.
Say what you" want about
statement games and how impor-
tant they are in the marathon that
is a college basketball season, but
Tuesday night against Mississippi
State was an opportunity lost.
Luckily for the Gators,
Saturday's game against Alabama
presents another chance to prove
to the conference that they are
more than just paper champions.
Defeating a team that dismantled
Mississippi State by 49 points
earlier this season would go a
long way in proving that Tuesday
night was nothing more than a
bump in the road an aberra-
tion and not a trend.
Now, I could sit here and dis-
sect this matchup by telling you
that Kennedy Winston, Earnest

This game is about more than
UF's opponent It's about a coach-
ing staff that was exposed its last
time out, a home-court advantage
that has been called into que tion1
after three early season losses and
a team that teeters on the edge of
schizophrenia.
Connecticut coach Jim
Calhoun said that he doesn't be-
lieve in must-win games, because
nothing happens if you don't win
them. And while I agree that the

Candace Johnson,-22; began to turn left from North Main Street onto Northeast 53rd Avenue when she drove her Ford Probe into the side of a Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck holding two men, Gainesville Police spokesman Keith Kameg said. According to I reports, McArthur Burke, 82, and his friend Travis Lee Mulberry, 51, were driving east on Northeast 53rd Avenue when their vehicle was struck by Johnson at approximately 11 a.m. "It didn't take much," Kameg said. "She hit the rear of his vehicle and pushed into a sideways skid." The truck skidded then rolled several times before landing upside-down. Both were ejected during the crash from Burke's Chevrolet, an older, smaller model of the pickup truck. Neither man was wearing his seatbelt, Kameg said. Mulberry was killed instantly, and Burke died within an hour of being taken to Shands at UF from injuries susPublic tained during the Safety accident, according to reports. Investigators believe Johnson wasn't driving very fast when she turned her vehicle and struck the pickup truck. "She was pulling out, but we don't know her speed," Kameg said.

Former Gators running back Emmitt Smith announced his retirement from the NFL on Thursday. Smith retired as the NFL's leading rusher. Re-verned rusd-her retires NFL great ends career with tears By ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff Writer aabramson@alligator.org There's nothing left for the overachiever to achieve. Emmitt Smith, who seemingly overachieved at every level of his football career, retired on Thursday as the NFL's all-time leader in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. "I've given everything I can possible to the game, on and off the field," said Smith, who was in Jacksonville for the Super Bowl festivities. Although Smith was a highly sought recruit out of Pensacola, many skeptics questioned his apparent lack of height and speed, doubting he would star at UF. It took just three games for Smith to silence the critics. In 1987, Smith saw limited action in a seasonopening loss to Miami, but in week three against No. 11 Alabama, he broke out for a UF freshman record 224 rushing yards in the Gators' surprising 23-14 road victory. Smith never looked back, finishing the season with a Southeastern Conference-best 1,341 yards en route to 3,928 rushing yards and 36 touchdowns in just three seasons in Gainesville. He holds UF's single-game rushing record of 316 yards against New Mexico in 1989.

The university's goal to become a Top 10 public research institution might be hindered by the George A. Smathers Libraries system, which ranks 20th on a list compiled by the Association of Research Libraries, or ARL. "It's one of the important tools of a university," Faculty Senate Chairman Pierre Ramond said. "Universities are basically as good as [their] libraries." Scott Nygren, chairman of the Faculty Senate's Council on Academic Infrastructure and Support, will give a report on the situation at the Feb. 17 Senate meeting, but will hold off on proposing any action. In the report, compiled by library director Dale Canelas, UF is ranked in 20 categories against the Top 10 public university libraries, based on a 200203 ARL list. In six of the seven categories that fall under the "university characteristics" section of the list, UF outranks at least seven of the Top 10 universities. The amount of students, faculty and doctorate fields at each school are among the characteristics addressed in that section. But in nine of the 13 categories under the "library characteristics" and "user support characteristics" sections, all 10 institutions outrank UF. Those categories rank the libraries' budgets, the total number of volumes each holds and the number of volumes held per student. 1 DAY= -$5.50 V Do's CO)S T ,/Read & Fill out all information completely "' ' "'"~~~"5Ac~nlLnsO 5.0=______ YPICK Up Good News cards at the Alligator to notify Additional Lines X $2.00 = individuals of their upcoming Love-Lines ./The following symbols can be used and count as SUBTOTAL S one space each: 0 *V./ Bold print in any or all of your ad costs ,/Bold, centered or larger type is also available for a small an additional 50% of the subtotal additional fee.

For UF to become a top-tier research university, its library needs funds to address these shortcomings, Canelas said.

4, ALLIGATOR E FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4,2005 STUDENT LIFE Students distribute Honor Code cards on campus By MEGAN SEERY Alligator Staff Writer mseery@alligator.org In a bid to boost academic integrity among UF students, discoiunt cards complete with the diversity Honor Code soon will be distributed on campus. The cards, which can be used at area businesses, such as Pita Pit and Casino's Pizza, are a result of a project by the Bateman Team, a UF public relations team. "Hopefully, the card will be a daily remider because students will see the Honor Code every time they use it," team member Ashley Zandy said. "They'll think of it when they have an opportunity to do something dishonest." Of 815 students surveyed, 74 percent said they had an average or below average understanding of UF's Honor Code. And 24 percent of those surveyed said they had cheated while at U. "We sampled large classes from several colleges," Zandy said. "It was a non-random sample, so our results cannot be generalized for the entire university." The team was given a challenge to promote academic integrity among students for this year's Bateman Team contest, she said. It's difficult to compare the number of UF cheaters to those at peer institutions because many schools are not obligated to provide the information to the public, team member Jeremy Katzman said. Florida's public records laws could have made available the survey results if it had been conducted by the university. Now that the team's results are in, it's important for students to create awareness, he said. "Do you want to be competing against someone who is cheating?" Katzman asked. "It cheapens your degree." "Do you want to be competing against someone who is cheating? It cheapens your degree." Jeremy Katzman Bateman Team member The team, which has to submit its completed project in March, is working on a way to evaluate the program's success. "We'll see how many cards get passed out," Katzman said, noting they are not valid until students sign them. "Businesses will tell us if students are using the cards." The Dean of Students Office and Tutoring Zone, winch are co-sponsoring the project, paid for 15,000 cards as part of the pilot program. The dean's office may continue the program if it is successful, Zandy said. About 5,000 cards will be passed out to students at special events and in some classrooms, and the rest will be distributed during Dean of Students Office programs like Preview. Student Body President Jamal Sowell and Vice President Jennifer Puckett signed the first cards in a symbolic gesture Thursday afternoon on Turlington Plaza. And although he couldn't comment on incidences of academic dishonesty at UF, Sowell said ethics in the classroom are becoming a major student issue. "Cheating is common at universities nationwide," he said. "It's time that students stop and evaluate actions such as these." Volunteer program helps. handicapped get in shape ETHE PROGRAM IS HELD TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS. By MEAGAN PARRADO Alligator Contributing Writer Some walk faster than others, some say hello clearer than the next, but all the students from the Sidney Lanier Center can smile. Professor Christine Stopka of the UF department of health education and behavior takes the smiles to heart. Stopka provides UF students with the opportunity to help mentally handicapped students from the center with their fitness program. Every Tuesday and Thursday at the Living Well Faculty and Staff Fitness Center, volunteers are paired with a handicapped student to assist with a warm-up, workout and an organized game. "This program is a vital part of their transition into society," she said. The Sidney Lanier Center students, ages 13 to 22, have a future in vocational employment. Without the Sidney Lanier Fitness/Research Program, they wouldn't be able to physically handle the workload, Stopka said. "When the program was created, the scientific community thought there was no way you could look at adolescents with mental retardation Alonzo Lewis and Danielle Wallach high five after completing an exercise at the Living Well Faculty and Staff Fitness Center. and pretest them, train them and then post-test them," Stopka said. "They said they wouldn't understand what you were talking about and that it just wasn't possible." Yet, according to research studies by Stopka and others from the department of health education and behavior, the program vastly improves the Sidney Lanier Center students' stamina and strength. Ann Goodman, a teacher at the Sidney Lanier Center, helped Stopka create the program in 1987 when several employers complained that the students were not physically fit to handle their jobs. "I haven't received one complaint since then," Goodman said. Not only do the students improve physically, they grow socially. "This program is so meaningful to my students," Goodman said. "They consider the volunteers their peers and friends." The program appears to benefit everyone involved, Stopka said. "I often see more change in my volunteers than I do in the Sidney kids," Stopka said. "I think they are surprised by the friendships fonned and how much they actually have in common with the kids." UF senior Taisha Richardson began volunteering last Fall to receive service hours. "The program changed the way I looked at a lot of things. It became hanging out with friends and not just getting hours," Richardson said, adding that she recommends it to other UF students. "It's one of the most exhilarating, liberating things -you don't know what to expect," Richardson said. "And then the kids come put a smile on your face." The program is held every Tuesday and Thursday from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. at Living Well and always welcomes new volunteers. Extravaganza showcases talent, celebrates black history E TH IS WAS TH E FIRST TIM E SINCE 1991 THAT THE EVENT TOOK THE FORM OF A PLAY. By LINDSAY TAULBEE Alligator Writer Itaulbee@alligator.org Students in the University Auditorium on Thursday were witness to two weddings, a birth and a graduation -all in one night. The Black Male Extravaganza, hosted by Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity as part of Black History Month, aimed to showcase student talent. Students rapped, danced, sang, played the piano and recited poetry, all in the context of a play chronicling the events in the life of one young man. The play, entitled "His Journey: The Life, Longing and Love of a Black Man," showed how success can be defined differently fron different perspectives, extravaganza co-director Travis Lester said. "It's just basically talking about how there are different paths for black men," he said. This year marked the first time the event took the form of a play since the extravaganza was created m 1991. "We implemented the various areas of talent on campus throughout the play," he said. Student performers from all corners of university life performed, and event co-director Andre Samuels wrote the Black History original script. Month "Everyone's part fit them perfectly," Lester said. He noted the approximately 150 people in the audience visibly reacted to the onstage events. "People were really into the play," he said. The story began before the main character was born, with the wedding of his parents. -After his father's death, the story focuses on the main character, Walter Jolmson, as he graduates high school and goes to college. The story ended with Johnson's own wedding. Woven into the play were performances by students who sang, recited poetry, and danced, including a dance performance by Apocalypse Dance Troupe. Students in the audience sang along with the music and danced in their seats while hearing the fictional Johnson's life story. His parents' wedding scene drew "awws" from the mostly female crowd. "I expected a little bit bigger turnout, but I think the people who were here really enjoyed themselves," Lester said. Ronald Diltz, a UF theatre student who has been acting for eight years, played the role of Johnson. "'They were interested in me playing the lead role," he said. "I took the challenge." Diltz said he felt everyone involved came together to put on a good show. "I was really. happy with the cast, and being able to pull it off," he said.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 5 IM UF ATHLETES BRANDON SILER, CARSON BASSETT AND JUSTIN TORDI WERE JUDGES. By IVETTE MENDEZ .Alligator Contributing Writer Screams broke out Thursday night at Alpha Omicron Pi sorority's charity event as one of the contestants appeared on stage wearing nothing but shaving cream. It seemed embarrassment was not an issue for contestants as they went to any lengths to win the titleof Mr. UF. One even rode a unicycle while wearing a blue Speedo. But it was a Justin Timberlake inpression that won judges over at the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom. Beta Theta Pi fraternity member Chris Hart won the competition. He beat out representatives from 20 other fraternities to be crowned Mr. UF. Co-chairwomen Lauren Regan and Annette Taylor, both members of Alpha Omicron Pi sorority, are using half of the $10,000 raised this year to support national arthritis research. "Benefiting arthritis is very important to us, especially because one of our sisters who graduated last year suffers from arthritis," sorority member Kitty Riggs said. The other half of the funds will go toward a scholarship created in honor of sorority sister Lauren Weiss. Weiss passed away in a car accident three years ago. "Benefiting arthritis is very important to us, especially because one of our sisters who graduated last year suffers from arthritis." Kitty Riggs Alpha Omicron Pi sorority member What is special about this year's event is that the sorority will finally be able to complete Weiss' scholarship, Riggs, a marketing sophomore, said. The winner will receive a limousine ride, dinner at Emiliano's and a three-month membership at Orion Gym, along with a variety of other prizes donated by local businesses. The money raised during the event came from the 1,000 tickets sold, entry fees and raffle tickets the audience had the option of buying. The four judges, three of whom were UF athletes, had to duck as articles of clothing from the contestants flew through the air during the show. Local band Cadence also lent its talents to the charity event by playing during intermission. "I heard about this event because I'm friends with one of the guys in the band," UF freshman Danielle Vitale said. She said it provided something out of the ordinary to do during the week. Courtney Tie, a first-year English major, attended the event because, she said,"it is always good to fundraise and see hot men at the same time." The contests were presided over by three UF athletes, according to a press release. Brandon Siler, one of Thursday's judges, is a freshman linebacker on the football team. He started as a linebacker after Channing Crowder suffered a foot injury last year. justin Tordi is a junior infielder for the baseball team. The Orlando native started as a shortstop last year. Carson Bassett also plays on the baseball team as a catcher. Kevin Quinn, a local radio personality for KISS 105.3 FM, was the master of ceremonies, the release stated.

6, ALLIGATOR N FRIDAY, FEB3RUARY 4,2005 Editorial There comes a time in all students' lives when they have to take responsibility for themselves. For some, this means going off to college to live on their own and learn how to pick out their own clothes. For others, it means leaving school, getting a job and starting a family -or at least a mortgage. Here at the Department of Darts & Laurels, however, it means finally agreeing to pay for your share of the pizza. Whatever the defining moment happens to be for you, make sure you're ready to step up and be a man (or woman). So cut your hair, put on your grown-up clothes and get out the door early to beat the morning traffic on your way to this week's edition of. Darts & Laurels Because we're suckers for stories about estranged parents choosing to take responsibility far their children, we kick things off by extending a maybe-they-really-do-care-afterall LAUREL to the Florida Legislature, the State University System's favorite deadbeat dads, for giving UF $39 million to partially make up for three or four years of endowment support payments they were behind in making. The payments, which are intended to match private donations, still are a year behind. On the bright side, the Legislature's recommitment makes UF hopeful it may see money more often from now on. Moving on to an example of people taking credit for other peoples' actions, we toss a somebody-thought-man-I'vegot-to-get-in-on-that-action DART to Iraqi insurgent group the Green Brigade, who in a questionable-sounding video sent to Al-Jazeera claimed responsibility for the crash of the British military plane on the day of the Iraqi elections. Much like an old B-rated war movie, the video opens with a finger pressing a button on a box with wires coming out of it and then cuts to the launch of a pair of missiles or rockets. The video does not show any impact, however, instead ending with footage of people walking through the wreckage of a plane. Yep, sounds like compelling evidence to us. Then, wondering if maybe there are some things you just shouldn't take responsibility for, we throw a howabout-a-porn-and-lingerie-subsidy-next-time DART to the crazy people in charge of Medicare for developing a new program that will cover prescriptions for Viagra and other sexual-performance drugs. But the image of senior citizens being federally funded to get jiggy won't be the only thing disturbing taxpayers, as the extended program is expected to cost more than $500 billion over the next decade. To put this in perspective, Anthony Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies estimated the war in Iraq cost the United States $128 billion up to the end of 2004 -about a quarter of the 10-year figure for the new prescription coverage. Finally, we give a now-this-is-how-you-spread-peaceand-freedom LAUREL to the leaders of Egypt, Jordan, Israel and Palestine for planning a summit to discuss methods of decreasing tension in the Middle East. The summit -which will focus on the reduction of violence between Israelis and Palestinians -should be a suc cess, because it's hard to imagine any ill-will surviving the luxurious assault of Egypt's opulent Red Sea resort Sharm el Sheik, where it will be held.

Opinions ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/opinions Column Address was full of lies, contradictions ickening. Watching George W. Bush take the podium Wednesday night can be described as nothing else. Nevertheless, I stomached the entire State of the Union address and observe4i something I already knew: W can't go five seconds without contradicting himself or just plain lying. Here are a few excerpts from his speech: "We are working with European allies to make clear to the Iranian regime that it must give up its uranium enrichment program and any plutonium reprocessing." Reality: England, France and Germany are negotiating with Iran over these issues. Yet, despite the European Union's urgings, the administration is steering clear of these discussions altogether. If the United States does not step in as Bush claims we have, Iran will become a nuclear power. "We are working closely with governments in Asia to convince North Korea to abandon its nuclear ambitions." Again, this is false. The six-party talks involving the United States, Russia, China, Japan, South Korea and North Korea are in suspension. Bush has rejected diplomacy in this instance, saying it would "reward bad behavior." North Korea resumed reprocessing two years ago and most likely has built a couple nukes since. "There are still regimes seeking weapons of mass destruction -but no longer without attention and without consequence." That's a strange thing to say when we apparently are ignoring both Iran and North Korea. It's furmny Bush was so concerned about WMDs a couple of years ago, but now most of our military is committed to the one "Axis of Evil" country without any. "America will stand with the allies of freedom to support democratic movements in the Middle East and beyond, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world." Does this mean W will take action against China and Saudi Arabia? They aren't exactly "democratic." And what if the citizens of a tyrannical Middle Eastern government revolted right now? Would Bush send troops to help out? "Judges have a duty to ensure all citizens' rights." That is, unless they're homosexual ("I support a constitutional amendment to protect the institution of marriage.") Andrew Meyer "I will send you a budget that Uncommon Sense holds the growth of discretionary letters@alligator.org spending below inflation, makes tax relief permanent and stays on track to cut the deficit in half by 2009." How exactly does Bush plan to make tax relief permanent and cut the deficit in half at the same time? Aren't those mutually exclusive goals? If the gove-runent has less tax money, what are they supposed to pay down the deficit with? "I have a message for every American who is 55 or older: do not let anyone mislead you. For you, the Social Security system will not change in any way. For younger workers, the Social Security system has serious problems that will grow worse with time." Bush was surprisingly frank here: it seems his plan for fixing Social Security is to screw the young. Everyone 55 and up -the powerful older voting bloc -gets to stay in the current system, while everybody else gets their benefits cut. Where Bush is misleading Americans is when he tries to tie in fixing the system with privatization. Personal accounts have nothing to do with fixing the solvency of Social Security. They merely are a devious method of reducing the Social Security system's progressivity. The rich will get to keep more of their own money than they do now, while the poor will have to make do with less. The problem for Bush will come if the people ever realize the benefit cuts necessary for fixing the system would be much smaller without personal accounts than with them.

I knew the name change was coming since football season when they announced they would honor Gale Lemerand, co-founder of Stonewood Tavern & Grill, who gave some money to U. That smacks of ego gratification, but at least he's not a reputed racist like the namesake of our basketball arena. Yes, in case you hadn't heard, Stephen C. O'Connell was a racist. He voted against integration as a state Supreme Court justice and all but ignored blacks on campus as president of UE, arousing hundreds of students to protest his policies by staging sit-ins and even mass withdrawals (see Dan Berger's column "O'Connell's Real Legacy is Racism" from the Nov. 17, 2000 issue of the Alligat I propose that, in honor of Month and in light of our curre commitment to diversity, we O'Connell Center after someo more than money to UF and -someone such as Martin LL or Mary McLeod Bethune, wh works signify more of what we a university in the 21st century.

Drew Melville One set of my grandparents also lost their 3L investments in the stock market crash of 1929, and my other grandfather lost a thriving business to the resulting Depression. Each time there has been a stock market "adjustment," small investors lost security for their senior I to gamble years, but Social Security neither dwindled nor s and granddisappeared. It provided just that: security. -Now, my brother and I face our retirement years with President Bush willing to gamble that part of my security away, despite the history of regular downturns in the stock market and the examples of the disasters of similar privatization plans in Chile and Great Britain. Before the safety net of Social Security, 50 percent of American seniors lived in poverty -even during the boom times of the '20s. Since the enactment of Social Security, only 10 percent live below the poverty line. Bush may be willing to consign half of U.S. citizens to financial hardship as they age in order to boost Wall Street, but those of us who are aware of the realities of privatization are not.

8, ALLIGATOR U FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4,2005 FinanciaI aid goes digital Changes made to cut costs By MEGAN SEERY Alligator Staff Writer mseery@alligator.org In an attempt to cut costs and response times, UF Student Financial Affairs will begin contacting all students receiving financial aid electronically next week. "All correspondence will be sent electronically," said Ron Anderson, associate director for Student Financial Affairs. "Students will be notified about outstanding financial information via their GatorLink accounts." Hard copies of the first e-mail, which will detail the new process, will be sent to students next week via the U.S. Postal Service, he said. All future newsletters will be sent electronically. The e-mails will direct students to a financial aid section on the Integrated Student Information System, or ISIS. "We are going to shorten the response time from financial affairs to students, eliminate the possibility of lost mail and save monies in postage," Anderson said. Incoming freshmen will receive hard copies of financial documents but will receive only e-mail notices after their first year. More than 38,000 students receive financial assistance, Anderson said. Students who submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, will be notified electronically about their award status in late March. In the past, private e-mail providers such as America Online have rejected or filtered university correspondence their systems erroneously reported as junk mail. "We are going to shorten the response time from financial affairs to students, eliminate the possibility of lost mail and save monies in postage." Ron Anderson associate director for Student Financial Affairs "Students need to keep their GatorLink addresses valid," he said, noting students should check their e-mail options if forwarding university messages to outside accounts. "They need to make sure they check their accounts on a regular basis." By BRIAN HAGEN Alligator Writer bhagen@allgator.org Any new power plant built to meet Gainesville's future energy needs should exclusively use trees, leaves and other locally available "biomass" materials instead of imported petroleum coke and coal, one UF professor said Thursday. Donald Rockwood spoke to the Alachua County Environmental Protection Advisory Committee, which met to discuss alternatives to the cokeand coal-burning plant proposed by Gainesville Regional Utilities that also would utilize small portions of biomass. Biomass and city waste could fuel a 300 megawatt power plant, he said, citing a case in Orlando. Orlando put its wastewater, yard compost and mulch on inferior land. Quick growing trees, cottonwood and eucalyptus were planted and reached full-size in less than three years. A power plant could be fueled with the 30 tons of wood per acre per year that the land produced. "Everyone wins -energy producers, landowners, communities and the carbon balance," said Rockwood, a professor in the School of Forest Resources and Conservation. Using biomass would keep money in the Gainesville area, he said. Cheaper foreign imports of paper and other pulpwood products destroyed the value of Florida pulpwood for tree farmers.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4,2005 K ALLIGATOR, 9 PUBLC SAFETY Alleged Sigma Phi Epsilon assaulIt in state's hands By EVA KIS Alligator Staff Writer ekis@alligator.org University Police filed a sworn complaint with the State Attorney's Office last week in the alleged sexual assault of a minor by a Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity member last Fall. "Our role is to see if we have a prosecutable case," State Attorney's Office spokesman Spencer Mani said. UPD has completed its investigation into an incident at a safari-themed party in the Sigma Phi Epsilon house, 5 Fraternity Row, on Sept. 25, UPD spokesman Joe Sharkey said. The State Attorney's Office is reviewing the findings and will be scheduling sworn testimony with witnesses, reviewing forensic evidence and coordinating any necessary follow-up investigation, Mann said. As interviewing begins, Mann said other names not previously included as potential witnesses could come up and may be asked to provide sworn testimony. "T h e r e s no timeline as to how long it Sharkey will take us to complete the investigation," Mann said, adding that specific charges, if any, will not be pursued until his office's investigation is completed. The victim, then 17, drank alcoholic beverages made by her date as well as several other drinks during the course of the party, according to reports. She reportedly said she did not remember what happened when she woke up naked in her date's bed with him the following morning. She filed a complaint after being treated at Shands at AGH. The victim rescinded charges soon thereafter but later asked the investigation be pursued. Mann said the severity of possible charges will not depend on the victim's age. "The issue we're dealing with is sexual battery, which is a pretty serious charge irregardless," Mann said. Sigma Phi Epsilon has placed itself on voluntary social probation since the incident, but Sharkey said any further action against the fraternity is at UF's discretion.

Judge Aymer "Buck" Curtin's retirement in 2004, Jaworski beat Gainesville trial attorney Bruce Smith for the County Judge 5 position in the Aug. 31 primary. Smith, a former state attorney Smith's stellar 15 seasons left legacy EMMITT, from page 1 1987. "His durability over the year goes back to his desire that he had and really the type of person he is. A guy less motivated with his ability never would have been the player he was." Smith played for the Gators during the program's transition years. UF was a nationally recognized program in the mid-'80s -shortly before Smith's arrival -reaching No. 1 for a week in 1985. But the program would end up on probation for NCAA violations, weakening UF's national exposure. Even with a loss of scholarships, UF would rise to No. 10 at one point during Smith's freshman season. Smith entered the NFL Draft following his junior season, shortly after Steve Spurrier signed a contract to coach UF. His NFL career lasted 15 seasons, a lengthy tenure for a running back. His 18,355 rushing yards and 164 rushing touchdowns rank first all-time in the NFL, while his 179 total touchdowns rank second to Jerry Rice. Smith would help lead a potent Dallas Cowboys offense to three Super Bowl victories, including a 1993 victory against the Buffalo Bills when Smith was named MVP. The eight-time Pro Bowler finished his final two seasons with the-Arizona Cardinals. "We knew he was something special," Bell said. "[Of course] no one ever thought it would happen the way it did. But. he played so many years, he was so durable and that's why he was able to break those records." And while Smith's ability to succeed was initially questioned at "He was not the fastest or biggest player, but he had an uncanny ability -with his desire to go with it -to [become] the greatest runner of all time. It's an honor that he played at UF the way he finished in the NFL." Kerwin Bell former UF quarterback every level, there's hardly a question as to which UF player had the most success in the NFL. "He was not the fastest or biggest player, but he had an uncanny ability -with his desire to go with it -to [become] the greatest runner of all time," Bell said. "It's an honor that he played at UF the way he finished in the NFL." when Jaworski served as a state prosecutor, congratulated his onetime employee. Year's traffic CRASH, from page 1 2004 "I was just so proud of Tom -he worked so hard to get here and he has such good qualities to make him a fine judge," Smith said following the ceremony. "It's wonderful for me recently -so many of my former staff -members are now judges, and I hope I treated them well now because, as a practicing lawyer, I have to get in front of all these people that used to work for me." Jaworski's mother and six siblings traveled from as far as Michigan to support him at the ceremony, which was dedicated to his late father, Theodore Thomas Jaworski. "I always expected great things from him, I really did for. some reason, and I can't express the feelings that I have of pride and joy for all my family to be here," Jaworski's mother said. During his acceptance speech, Jaworski thanked his wife, Amy, and children Thomas and Emily for their dedication and patience during the campaign. "I was just really excited that he got the opportunity to do this because he's wanted to be a judge for a really long time," Emily said. deaths high Johnson, although "very shaken up," was not injured in the incident, Kameg said. At press time, it was not known whether she is a student at either UF or SFCC. GPD is investigating the incident but there have been no charges filed, Kameg said, nor does he have a formal estimate of what any potential charges would be. Public Northeast 53rd Avenue was closed to traffic Safety from Main Street to Northeast 15th Stre.et for approximately three hours. The number of fatalities in the state of Florida out of 243,294 traffic crashes during 2003 was 3,179, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. Programs such as Click It Or Ticket have been implemented statewide to enforce the mandatory seatbelt law for drivers and their passengers. Florida's traffic laws require that all occupants of a vehicle wear seatbelts at all times while the vehicle is in motion, according to FHP.

8, ALLiGATOR U FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4,2005 gators in dire need of impressive conference victory VIEN from page 20 turning on Jan. 19. Humphrey, who shot 48.4 percent and veraged 10.8 points per game while starting our games in Walsh's place, has averaged 4.8 ince Walsh regained his starting spot against outh Carolina on Saturday. Donovan, however, believes Walsh's ecent shooting woes have little to do with tis physical condition and more to do with ;etting back into the flow of the game. "I know, as a player, when you're out for ;HAF, from page 20 three weeks like he was, and you get thrown back into game situations, it's just different getting used to going again," Donovan said. According to Lee,khat moment may come soon for Walsh. "I predict him carrying us in these next two games to a victory," Lee said. Whether or not Walsh will reemerge, the Gators will have a tremendous task trying to control an Alabama team who trounced MSU 98-49 on Jan. 18. Junior forward Kennedy Winston, averaging a league-third-best 17.8 points per game, and senior guard Earnest Shelton, with a he locker room doors if the Gators come up short on Saturday, the erm better-win game might be more applicable. After the Alabama gane, five of UF's next seven games prior to he season finale against Kentucky are on the road. And even in a lown year for the Southeastem Conference, road games in the SEC ire never a given. A loss against the Tide could send the Gators into a tailspin -an vent that might eventually earn them a spot in the (gasp!) NIT. Given heir recent Tournament track record and the growing swell of supDon't die of embarrassment. Yes, it could be embarrassing to ask a man to wear a condom, especially if you don't know him very well. "But that's exactly who you need to ask -the man you don't know. And if he says no, so can you. Because you just can't be sure who's infected with the AIDS virus. Not having sex is one, sure way to avoid AIDS. If you decide to have' sex, using a condom is your best protection. It's as simple as that. AIDS is incurable, and if you get it, you'll likely die. So start carrying condoms and tell your partner to use them. Because the consequences of getting AIDS are more than just a little embarrassing. They're deadly. I sixth-best 17.4 points, have led the Crimson Tide (17-3, 6-1 SEC) to an SEC-second-best 78.7 points per game. "We all saw them kill Mississippi State," Humphrey said. "So we're going to have to take these next two days pretty serious." And for Lee, getting serious pertains to not just himself, Walsh or leading scorer Anthony Roberson, but the entire team. "We'll take [walk-ons] Jack [Berry] and Garrett [Tyler] coming off the bench, having 20 each -anyway we can get a victory at this point," Lee said. "We're looking to go 6-2. That's the biggest thing right now." port for an increased amount of mid-major births, combined with the overall underachievement of the SEC, it's not all that far-fetched. Now stiffen up that upper lip because here is the good news. A win on Saturday could be just what the Gators need to get back into contention in the SEC East. They are still 5-2 in conference and have yet to play up to their ability. Donovan surely needs to fix some things in terms of execution. Matt Walsh needs to prove he did not let his oversized heart cure his ankle prematurely. And the freshmen need to show that they are ready for primetime game in and game out. All of which are distinct possibilities. But it all starts with a must-win, I mean, better-win game on Saturday. LES IME5 wwwapl3movlecem ROGU'E NOW SH34OWING!.

With Tenressee shooting 40 of 46 from the free-throw line, compared to UF's 24 of 34, Peck said it was "almost like a game of horse" and free throws should not have determined the game. -"Our players don't have a clear understanding of how they're going to be allowed to play the game," Peck said.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 19 Gators seek road win By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer dtreat@alligator.org All athletes have to deal with hostile crowds. Screaming whilen opponent shoots a free throw or stomping feet during a big drive have become traditions of rabid fans. Imagine, however, having to do backflips on a four-inch-wide piece of plastic and rubber with 8,000 people barking at you. This is just one of the many challenges facing the No. 5 Gators gynmastics team, which faces No. 7 Georgia tonight. "It's hard; I'd be lying if I said it wasn't," Coach Rhonda Faehn said. "The good thing is that the majority of those in our lineup have experienced it and been through it before." One of those experienced performers is senior Orley Szmuch, who will be competing in the all-around competition for the first time since the two teams met at the Super Six Challenge four weeks ago. Szmuch has been hampered.by a surgically repaired ankle that has plagued her for almost a year. This meet will give UF a chance to prove it can handle the pressures of the road. "I think it's big for our confidence," Szmuch said. "If we can go into this meet and get a good solid score and win, I think to walk away from that and to go to SECs and nationals would be a big confidence boost for us." Wins on the road against the Bulldogs have been hard to come by for the Gators. UF has not defeated Georgia in Athens since the 1985 NCAA Southeast Regional championships. The Gators haven't won a dual meet of any kind against Georgia since 1990, but they did defeat the Bulldogs at both the Super Six Challenge and NCAA Qualifying Meet in 2004. UF will enter four gymnasts in the allaround competition for the first time this season. Breanne King is the only Gator to be in the all-around every meet this season, and she will be joined by Katie Rue and Ashley Reed, who returns after being held off floor exercise in last week's win against Alabama. "If we can go into this meet and get a good solid score and win, I think to walk away from that and to go to SECs and nationals would be a big confidence boost for us." Orley Szmuch UF gymnast One performer who is unlikely to compete this week is Tracey Rai. She has been suffering from shin splints and Faehn does not want to cause a stress fracture. The key to the meet, however, will come from the Gators' ability to battle the hostile environment that the team has come to expect in Athens. "At SECs last year, our last event, we were on balance beam and Georgia was on floor," Faelin said. "There were about 8,000 fans that were barking while we were up on beam. "You couldn't hear anything. You could feel the floor vibrating, that's how loud it was." While UF's freshmen may have only had a small taste of road hostility against LSU three weeks ago, co-captain Erinn Dooley feels that they'll be ready. "Each meet that we go against an SEC school, they learn more and more," she said. "They're ready for whatever comes their way, and they're getting that experience." UF places in SEC-ranks STAFF REPORT The UF baseball team has been selected to finish third in the Southeastern Conference's Eastern Division in a vote by SEC coaches released on Thursday. UF coach Pat McMahon returns 18 letterwinners and six position starters to a squad that finished 43-22 overall and advanced to NCAA Super Regionals in 2004. The Gators will open their season on Feb. 11 in a home game against Charleston Southern. Lotisiana State was chosen to finish first in the SEC. HOME RUNS' FOR CHARITY: The Gators baseball team will hold its Fourth Annual Children's Miracle Network Home Run Derby at noon this Saturday. All proceeds from the event held at McKethan Stadium will benefit the Children's Miracle Network at Shands Children's Hospital. Fans may pledge a certain amount of money to the Children's Miracle Network for each home run hit by the Gafors during the day. Interested fans can call the Children's Miracle Network at (352) 2657953. LOCHTE HONORED BY SEC: UF men's swimmer Ryan Lochte was honored as th% men's Swimmer of the Week by the SEC after earning 4 treebre individual event wins and a relay victory during the past week. Lochte nabbed top honors in the 400-yard medley relay, 1,000-yard freestyle, 500-yard freestyle and the 200yard breaststroke. By NATASHA WEINSTEIN AIigator Writer nweinstein@alligator.org This weekend is all about in-state rivalries for the UF men's tennis team, which will host Miami today and then travel to Tallahassee for a match against Florida State on Sunday UF has unfinished business with No. 47 Miami. Last year, the teams were vying for the lead when the match was interrupted by rain and canceled. "We almost lost Mirzadeh to them last year; we're ready to go. It's an in-state opponent and we hate the Hurricanes," Hamid Mirzadeh said. "We're pumped for it." Despite Miami's rank, which is much lower than UF's No. 3 ranking, Coach Andy Jackson said the Hurricanes are still a tough team. "We'll have to bring our 'A' game. Last year we were ranked much higher, but they were still winning when the rain came," he said. "We've had two good-quality practices and things are going pretty well, but we don't know how well because we haven't really had a sustained number of matches, which is about to start." Because last Sunday's Duke match was called off due to an ice storm, this is the first weekend in which the Gators will play two matches. Sunday's match against the Seminoles will be the Gators' first on the road. UF has beaten FSU in their last eight meetings, but Jackson said he feels FSU is undefranked and that the match is going to be the most severe test for the Gators thus far. "[Florida State] probably is a top-25 team and they're only ranked 40," he said. "So they've got a chip on their shoulder and we've got something they want." 1718 W. Univ.

Sports FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/sports Gators falter in overtime after pacing Tennessee By MICHAEL MAURINO Alligator Writer inmaurino@a[ligator.org For 40 minutes they hung with one of the best teams in the land. They did everything necessary to win: they shot for a better percentage and won the rebounding battle. When it came to overtime, however, the scoreboard had the visitors on top. Giving tremendous effort, the UF women's basketball team lost an overtime heartbreaker to No. 5Tennessee, Basketball 91-82.

Within. the score tied at 69, UP Nick West / Alligator Staff UF's Bernice Mosby buries her head near the end of a 91-82 overtime loss to No. 5 Tennessee. Mosby sent Tennessee to the line with less than a minute left in regulation, allowing the Volunteers to tie. seemed to have grasped overtime's momentum despite junior Bernice Mosby's missed off-balance jumper at the end of regulation. Instead, Tennessee rebounded and controlled the last five minutes, taking the lead 12 seconds in and never looking back. Mosby could have been the game's best performer. Adding five rebounds to her 28 points on 9 of 18 shooting, she was there when UF needed a big score. When it came to the last 21 seconds in regulation, Mosby had the ball in her hands. "I saw an opening and I just took it," Mosby said of the regulation's final shot. "It didn't go in, but it's just a thing that happens in basketball." "We played against Tennessee, who is ranked No. 5, and we take them to overtime. I think that means we're pretty doggone good." Carolyn Peck UF women's basketball coach While Mosby played well, senior Tashia Morehead was just as good. Her three-pointer with 1:33 left in the second half brought UF to within 1 at 67-66.

By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org Sophomore Lee Hmnphrey remembers the last time he faced Alabama. How could he forget? The reserve-turned-starting two-guard hit a' 17-foot buzzer beater from the baseline to give UP a 75-73 overtime win against Alabama in the 2004 Southeastern Conference quarterfinals. "Oh, that's probably the best single play of my career so far -high school, any level," said Humphrey with a humble grin. The shot earned Humphrey, who contemplated redshirting his freshman season, celebrity status and jump-started the Gators to their first SEC Tounament championship game since 1994. Now, the Gators hope they can recapture that sharp shooting when they face No. 11 Alabama at the O'Connell Center on Saturday. Following a loss to Mississippi State and with the attention of many influential members of the sports media just to the north in Jacksonville, UF will attempt to garner some national attention in the second of a tough threegame stretch that concludes at Kentucky on Tuesday. "It's one of those things you can't wdrry about while you're playing," said senior forward David Lee. "But as you look back, I'm sure these are the games people will be watching. And Alabama is another Tournamentquality team, like we are." The SEC's top-scoring Gators were held to a season-low 57 points, while shooting a seasonworst 38.5 percent in the loss to the Bulldogs, as UP again appeared to be adjusting to the reintegration of guard Matt Walsh. Walsh was 1 for 5 against MSU, as his team suffered a 9 for 29 second-half shooting slump. While Coach Billy Donovan cautioned that Walsh wouldn't immediately become his former self following a three-week hiatus due to a severe ankle sprain, the junior has shot 25.9 percent since SEE MEN, PAGE 18 Win could turn the tide A fter getting thu m pedptr ov e The Hrunp, the UPT bas to be 40 ketball team returns to minutes of the O'Dome on Saturday with a headache bruised ego and that familiar air for Billy of skepticism filling its lungs.
