Breakfast motives questioned
* THE IMPACT PARTY ANNOUNCED ITS EX-
ECUTIVE TICKET AT FRIDAY'S GATOR NIGHTS.
By BRIDGET CAREY
Alligator Writer
bcarey@alligator.org
Gator Nights officials are raising eyebrows to possible
foul play with the Impact Party's method of informally
announcing its executive ticket candidates for the Spring
Student Government election.
The Lady Monarchs, a multicultural sorority-hopeful
organization focused on community service, were sched-
uled to serve the traditional free midnight breakfast at
Gator Nights on Friday. Instead, Impact Party members
announced their executive candidates to students before
they plopped the free food onto students' plates.
"It all sounds very fishy to me," said Farrah Morrone,
Gator Nights supervisor and assistant director at the
Office of Student Activities.
UF forward Adrian
Moss will fight through
therapy treatments for
the rest of his life, but
has returned to the
team from a herni-
ated disc. Said Moss: "I
didn't think I was going
to play too much more
this year." See story,
pg. 20.
Morrone wasn't working during the midnight break-
fast but said Impact Student Body presidential candidate
Dennis Ngin told the Gator Nights student manager on
duty that he was there to help the Lady Monarchs.
"I'm really going to be frustrated if someone else
posed as another student organization to promote their
political party," Morrone said when
Student she initially heard about Impact's
G MOvMlntnt involvement.
Impact spokeswoman Jessica
Goodwin, who also holds the liaison officer position
within the Lady Monarchs, said nothing was fishy about
Ngin and Impact Party supporters serving the breakfast.
"Dennis asked to work in association with them,"
Goodwin said. She added the Lady Monarchs were hap-
py to hang around the food court while Ngin introduced
himself to everyone in line waiting for food.
Impact's candidate for vice president, Robert Mack,
and the candidate for treasurer, Elda Auxiliaire, also used

New papers
last 4 years
By STEPHANIE GARRY
Alligator.Staff Writer
smgarry@alligator.org
The U.S. government gave
UF's nearly 3,000 international
students a break Friday, cutting
the paperwork required for stu-
dents and scientists in "sensitive"
fields.
The U.S. Department of
Homeland Security eased visa'
requirements, a move higher
education officials hope will help
counteract a national drop in
foreigners studying in the United
States last year.
"This is a significant step," UF
International Center Dean Dennis
Jett, who is out of the country,
wrote in an e-mail. "It eliminates
the useless repetition of the clear-
ance process which sometimes
stranded people" overseas.
International students who
work in "sensitive scientific and
technical fields," such as engi-
neering, have had to undergo a
security clearance process since
1998, when the Visas Mantis
program was introduced to
discourage the illegal transfer
of technology. The process was
annual, but now students can
use one screening for the length
of their academic program up to
four years.
"This change sends a clear
message that the U.S. highly
encourages those with great sci-
entific minds to explore studying
and working in our country," Asa
Hutchinson, former undersecre-
tary for the department's border
and transportation security, said
in a statement.
UF's College of Engineering
has the highest international
student enrollment in the univer-
sity, with more than 1,000 foreign

cal difficulties.

students making up about 40 per-
cent of UF's total foreign student
enrollment in 2003.
"We think it's going to be
a beneficial step for us," said
Pramod Khargonekar, dean of
UF's College of Engineering.
"We have a number of foreign
students who come to study in
the college, and this will make it
easier for them to extend visas to
come and study."
UF's international student
enrollment dropped 6.8 percent
in Fall 2004, and the number of
new foreign students dropped
even more significantly, nearly
15 percent. Though the decline
is a national trend, UF tries to re-
cruit foreign students to augment
domestic students' college expe-
riences, support programs that
don't have sufficient domestic
demand and sustain research.
Though Jett and Khargonekar
said they agreed that the Mantis
program may
have contribut-
ed to the drop,
they suspect
others factors
played a part as
well.
SGrowing
economies in
China and
India are keeping students in
those countries, and competi-
tion from Europe, Australia and
Canada is diverting international
students from U.S. universities,
Khargonekar said.
"We saw a significant drop of
international students this year,"
Khargonekar said. "Difficulty in
getting visas has been a part of
the problem."
The college regularly receives
e-mails from international stu-
dents who have had visa delays,
oftentimes when they go home
to visit their families and try to
return, Khargonekar said. Many
of those students are likely to
fall under the Mantis program,
he said.

Legendary jazz orchestra to
honor founder's 100th
Gainesville and Frank Sinatra
now have something in common,
and it isn't a collection of fedoras.
The city will join Sinatra in the
ranks of hosts to the Count Basie
Orchestra, to celebrate what would
be the 100th birthday of its founder,
William "Count" Basie.
The concert is also a timely
celebration of Basie's great im-
pact on black history. During the
1930s, Basie was one of the only
black band leaders, and along
with contemporaries such as Duke
Ellington, he helped define jazz
music. His piano playing shaped
modem jazz with his trademark
compingg," which is a syncopated
and precise style of play.
Basie also pioneered musical
integration, recording and per-
forming with white artists such
as Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett.
Basie formed his orchestra and
toured extensively in the South
amid great success and deeply
divisive segregation they were
denied stay in certain hotels or
service in restaurants.
However, Basie often played to
all-white audiences.

Local woman charged
with child neglect
A Gainesville woman in-
volved in a traffic accident was
arrested after authorities found
she left her two children home
alone, according to reports.
Rhonda Maria Perry, 24, told
William Jason Powell she col-
lided with his vehicle because
she was in a hurry to get home to
her children, reports state.
Authorities went to Perry's
residence, at 641 NE Waldo
Road, to find a 6-year-old and
5-month-old child alone in the
house Sunday night.
Perry told authorities she left
her children under the supervi-
sion of Anethia E. Curtis, of 653
NE Waldo Road, while she went
to McDonald's to get dinner for
her children, reports state.
Curtis said she planned on
coming to Perry's home to bor-
row a bicycle, but Perry never
asked her to watch her children,

The Plaza of the Americas was converted
to a wedding pavilion Monday, where Dean of
Students Gene Zdziarski and his wife renewed
their vows as part of the Public Relations
Student Society of America's Renew Your
Vows campaign.
"It is important to convey to students the
importance of making a commitment to some-
thing, whether it is a wife or academic hon-
esty," Zdziarski said after the ceremony held
before a dozen students.
His wife, Cheri, said, "Making a pledge is
not just about academic integrity. It is about
making a commitment to a life-long value sys-
tem of integrity and honesty."
Interfraternity Council President John Dicks
said he came out to support both Zdziarski
and the honor code.
"It's kind of fun, kind of cool," he said.
PRSSA, in its Gators have High Standards
campaign, set up tables across the plaza
encouraging students to follow Zdziarski's
example. In exchange for signing the honor
code, students received a pocket-sized copy of
it, which gives discounts at local businesses.
"UF is a community where academic
dishonesty is not acceptable," said PRSSA
President Ashley Zandy.
Zandy is one of five members of PRSSA's
Bateman Team who helped organize the event.
The vows renewal was the peak event of the
yearlong campaign. More than 500 students
signed pledge cards during the event.
"The card is just a symbol of truth- and
honesty," political science sophomore Marvin
Simeon said shortly after he signed. "Signing
the pledge just showed my support for some-
thing I already believed in."
The campaign will continue over the next
few weeks as Bateman Team members talk to
classes about academic honesty and integrity.

Students do' with Elvis
* HELD IN HONOR OF VALENTINE'S
DAY, THE WEDDINGS WEREN'T LEGAL.
By LINDSAY TAULBEE
Alligator Writer
Itaulbee@alligator.org
Students took comfort Monday in know-
ing that what happens in Gainesville stays
in Gainesville.
In honor of Valentine's Day, an Elvis
Presley impersonator, eager to join stu-
dents in not-so-holy matrimony, greeted
those passing through the Reitz Union
Colonnade.
The Reitz Union Board hosted the mock
weddings for anyone who was interested.
Couples received Ring Pops, phony mar-
riage certificates and a photograph with
Elvis to commemorate the event.
Jaclyn Rubio, co-chairwoman of the
board's special events committee, said the
marriages were just for fun.
"It's Valentine's Day; we thought it'd be
cute," she said.
During the three hours Elvis was on the
colonnade, between 30 and 40 couples took
the plunge, Rubio said.
The day started off rocky, as students were
unsure of what to make of the situation.
"It seems like people have commitment
phobia," she said jokingly.
Later, students warmed .g the idea, and
several large groups came to exchange vows,
she said.
Elvis, played by UF student Butch Tanner,
approached UF athletic training students
Bianca Villa and Alexandra Bayona, who
agreed to be "married."
On They joked they were going
CaSmpu through with it because their boy-
friends wouldn't marry them.
Holding a bouquet of plastic flowers, the
friends laughed as Elvis, dressed in a red-
and-white pantsuit, sunglasses, a black wig
and zebra-striped platform shoes, began the
ceremony.
"Do you, Bianca, swear to uphold the fin-
est laws and to keep her as close as possible
and not let her talk to strangers?" he asked.
.Tanner affirmed the shoes were an essen-
tial part of the outfit.
"That was something Elvis held very
close to his heart," he said.
Tupac's mom to speak

Afeni Shakur will speak tonight at

Shakur is a former Black Panther
and civil-rights activist, as well as
the mother of rapper Tupac Shakur.

This is the first time BSU has

Auctioned dates raise heartfelt money for relief
Mike Lamire, Kamphrey, Holly Allen and Andy Jean enjoy dinner with the highest bidders for their
eBay auction. The group auctioned the dates to raise money for tsunami relief efforts in Asia.
* DUE TO AN EBAY SNAFU, THE
AUCTIONS ENDED EARLY.
By KYLIE CRAIG
Alligator Writer
kcraig@alligator.org
Four UF students who auctioned
themselves as dates on eBay raised
more than $250 for tsunami relief but
not without a few technical difficul-
ties.
The students were up for grabs as
Valentine's Day dates to raise money
for the cause, but two hours before
bidding was set to end, eBay pulled
their auctions off its site.
Mike Lemire, organizer of the auc-
tion, said eBay pulled the auctions
because it wanted the students to use
the Web site's own charity program to
collect the funds.
Lemire said he called several times
before starting the auction to ask eBay
for permission but that the company
didn't respond until a week after the
auction's start.
"I didn't go through it because they
take away 10 percent to cover their
fees," Lemire said, adding that he felt
the amount was too significant.
He also said stopping the auction
two hours before its ending time had
a negative effect on the amount raised
because many wait to enter bids.
"I had e-mails throughout the
week where people said they weren't
going to bid until the last minute,"
Lemire said.
Ultimately, the students decided
not to let the technical problems keep
them from following through.
Lemire said he contacted people
with the highest bids at the time the
auction was stopped and negotiated
donation amounts to determine who
would win the date.
The students and the winning bid-
ders all went out for a Valentine's Day
dinner and movie Monday night.
Lemire said everyone was pleased
with how it turned out.
S"No one was left out, and we had
a great time because we were all
there for a good cause," he said. "We
still raised money that wasn't there
before."
Despite what happened, Lemire
said he is looking into starting another
auction to. raise even more money for
the cause.
Blue Key members serve Valentine's cheer to homeless
By LINDSAY TAULBEE

Itaulbee@alligator.org
On a night when many in town were
making reservations and heading out to their
favorite restaurants, a few UF students instead
prepared and served dinner for about 35 of
Gainesville's homeless community.
With food donated by Kash n' Karry and
Phi Kappa Tau fraternity, five Florida Blue Key
members dished out pasta and meat sauce,
garlic bread, rice, vegetables and brownies
Monday night at the St. Francis House home-
less shelter in downtown Gainesville.,
Jason Goldman, FBK service director, said
few other volunteers from the community
had signed up to help with food preparation
Monday.
"They get a lot of help, but no one else
wanted to do it on Valentine's Day," he said.
"It's a nice way to spend your Valentine's Day,
helping other people."
Goldman said he hoped to reach out to the
community while helping to give UP a better
name.
-He said those who volunteered hope-
fully will benefit from a broader perspective
-of Gainesville and get a better
Student understanding of the realities
ACt VISsR of the place in which they
live.
Ozell Boyd, volunteer coordinator for St.
Francis House, said he appreciated FBK's ef-
forts.
He said the shelter always needs volun-
teers to help perform a wide variety of tasks
throughout the day
"We really need some good long-term vol-
unteers people that don't mind helping out
the community," he said.
Those interested in volunteering at St.
Francis House may reach Boyd at 378-
9079, extension 319, or at coordinator@be

Ballot boost
Online voting would raise
turnout, increase access
W hen students gather in March to determine their rep-
resentatives in Student Government, they also will
weigh in on an issue that will drastically affect future
SG elections: online voting.
And though there are outspoken opponents of online voting-
- some of whom have valid points the possible benefits far
outweigh the negatives.
The immediate benefit of online voting would be increased
voter turnout. The easier a process gets, the more likely college
students are to participate.
Under the online voting system, students could surf over to
the voting Web site whenever they pleased and be in and out in
a few minutes at the most. Furthermore, according to Student
Sen. Adam Roberts, SG's technology cabinet director, it's possi-
ble online voting would be open 24 hours during election days.
Instead of going out of their way to queue up in the hot sun,
students would be able to vote at any time during voting days
from the privacy of their homes. And the evidence says that
students will take advantage of this. According to the Chronicle
of Higher Education, online voting has produced significant
increases in student election turnout at universities such as
Clemson University, Emory University and Boston College.
In addition, online voting would save money. Last year's
election cost more than $20,000, while the expected cost of oper-
ating the program would be about $2,000 which includes 24-
hour monitoring from Accelerated Data Works, the company
that developed the voting software.
The numbers speak for themselves, but there still are other
benefits, including easier access to elections for disabled stu-
dents and reduced waste due to elimination of paper ballots.
Of course, concerns about the security of online voting are
valid. While there is no way that the possibility of voter fraud,
including hacking and block voting, can be removed from the
online voting prociz solutions to help lessen this possibility
have been discussed by SG and Accelerated Data Works.
Hacking certainly is an issue in a university with as large
and tech-savvy a student body as UFs, but the chances of this
happening can be limited by the process' regulationby an inde-
pendent party such as Accelerated Data Works. Another layer
of security could be added by the separation of the voting Web
page and the database where the information would be stored,
as well as keeping a backup server that could compare data
with the original in order to detect tampering, Roberts said.
Another concern is that the system will make it easier for
organizations to require their members to vote for particular
candidates. It is possible that leaders of these organizations
could collect GatorLink IDs and passwords from members and
then use those to vote for the same candidates.
But Roberts and other members of SG have worked to deter-
mine ways in which this practice could be discouraged. For in-
stance, individual computers identified by their IP addresses
could be allowed to vote only a few times within a specified
period of time. Exceptions could be made so students could still
vote on multi-user computers such those in CIRCA labs.
Even better, the voting process could require students to
answer a security question based on information already in
ISIS, such as their mother's maiden name or their place of birth.
Students still could then be coerced to vote for a candidate
but only if someone was standing over their shoulder.
Ultimately, however, students have to take responsibility for
their vote. If they allow themselves to be coerced, not much can
be done.
The simple fact is that online voting will greatly simplify the
voting process, which is an important step toward increasing
student participation.

Column
Republican chooses a blue Valentine
owie,
Valentine's Day has passed, but my love for
you remains. In the past year, we've been through
good times and bad, primaries and elections, scandal and
intrigue. But, in the end, two things remain: love and
politics. While we never agree, times change, and so do
people. You now run the Democratic National Committee,
and while I'm still a Republican, I can't help but love your
plan for your party.
You plan to rebuild your party and return it to the
liberal roots that created your base. The hippie liberalism
of the past has been abandoned by the American public,
but the Democratic Party clings to old standards like a
captain to his sinking ship. Growing numbers of citizens
are identifying themselves as Republicans, not because of
trendy campaign rhetoric, but because of a dramatic shift
in the perception of American values. While you cling to
your first love the Democratic Party -America moves
forward into the future with the Republican Party's clear
vision for the next century.
You say you want to build the Democratic Party back
up from the bottom. I've always loved your management
style. While you spend time with the common man, the
non-voter, the apathetic citizen, your party's base of real
voters will dwindle from neglect. You'll court the unem-
ployed, the felon and the disenfranchised, the people who
need the attention of the party but don't care to vote. Your
love "for the people" is profound, and I'm sure that 50-
year-old who never has voted before will go to the polls
because you asked him to.
Your bid for the Democratic Party's nomination for
president was admirable; you built a base of supporters
who never had voted and raised huge sums of money
from average citizens. Your armies of supporters couldn't
turn out the vote for you, though,
and as we continue the eternal
battle between Republican and
Democrat, it's heartening for me
S to see the huge numbers of people
who are willing to campaign but
Allison Cullin not to vote.
Strategery Sessions It's clear that America is chang-
letters@alligator.org ing, and the past liberalism has be-
gun to fade away as young citizens
realize the value of conservative
fiscal and moral values. Time has changed the views of
the majority of voters. While we work for the future, you
remember the past glories of your party. It's time for you
to realize that the future of the Democratic Party has to be
with the mainstream of America. ,
The times we face demand leadership within the par-
ties and throughout the nation. While you choose to lead
your party to the left, you choose to ignore the needs of the
people you claim to serve.
Remember, it's hard to work for the future wheri you
cling to your past. We'll see what happens with the future,
but the changes you look for will only push America fur-
ther to the right, and I love you for it.
While I love your campaign style and your general
charisma, I love you most because you'll make my life
easier. Come election season, the time again will come to
do battle. You'll bring out your army of Deaniacs, and my
party will send out its seasoned veterans. We'll see then
what the map looks like.
judging by your past failures, I think I'll be celebrating
again as I gaze at a map that's redder than ever before.

Letters to the Editor
Board's decision leaves much to be done
Editor: The Florida Board of Governors
should be commended for exercising its con-
stitutional responsibilities in turning down
the chiropractic program at Florida State
University. This program had been approved
by the Legislature but had not been authorized
by the board. Its constitutionality is question-
able given that the 11th Amendment to the
state Constitution, passed in 2002, says, "The
Board of Governors shall operate, regulate,
control and be fully responsible for the man-
agement of the whole university system."
In dealing with the proposal, the board
shows it accepts its constitutional authority
over the university system. In a constitutional
sense, it did not matter whether it accepted or
rejected the proposal. The important point is
that it recognized and exercised its authority
over a major higher education issue.
Although the chiropractic program has
been turned down, the legislation authorizing
the program called for an annual appropria-
tion of $9 million to go to FSU to be used as the
university wished until the chiropractic pro-
gram was implemented. After the board's ac-
tion, there is no justification for continuing this
appropriation, and it should be rescinded.
Other governance issues still need clarifi-
cation. As a result of efforts by Johnnie Byrd,
former speaker of the House, the Legislature
has approved $52 million for an Alzheimer's
Center at the University of South Florida
named for Byrd's father, though the board had
not authorized it. The constitutionality of such
action obviously is questionable.
With the passage of the 11th Amendment,
a number of actions by the legislative and
the executive branches of Florida govern-
ment appear to be inconsistent with the state
Constitution. A private, not-for-profit orga-
nizationr called Floridians for Constitutional
Integrity has been formed to ask the courts to
determine the legality of such actions.
As Floridians and Americans, we are gov-
erned by laws -both constitutional and statu-
tory. At the heart of this university governance
issue is the fact that constitutional laws over-
ride or supersede statutory laws. This is why
the courts are being asked to rule on a matter
which, to many, appears to be quite dear.
E. T. York
Chancellor Emeritus, State University System
of Florida
Some offensive words can't be defended
Editor: I am shocked and offended that
columnist Jason Levitt is not shocked and of-
fended. It is one thing to uphold the values of
the First Amendment and the marketplace of
ideas. It is an entirely different thing to defend
a man who compares the innocent victims of
Sept. 11, 2001 to the Nazis and actually con-
dories their deaths.
Levitt says opinions like this that stray from
the mainstream "signal a strong and healthy
public sphere." Forgive me, but I believe that
anyone who says a secretary with three kids
working at her job on a Tuesday morning de-
serves to have a 747 smash into her office does
not signal a healthy public sphere.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Parties miss financial report deadline
By NEIL HUGHES
Alligator-Writer
nhughes@alligator.org
Only three parties made the Monday.
deadline for parties to submit their
expenses for the upcoming Student
Government elections.
The Impact, Voice, Strike Force and
Phoenix Parties failed to submit their re-
ports to the SG supervisor of elections by
5 p.m., according to public records given
to the Alligator on Monday.
According to SG statutes, all regis-
tered parties are required to submit item-
ized weekly finance reports. Monday
was the first deadline.
"I was not contacted regarding any
fliers or any regulations," Impact presi-
dential candidate Dennis Ngin said,
"which is kind of weird since my phone
number is readily available."
Traditionally, the campaign treasurer
is responsible for submitting the finan-
cial reports, who, in the case of Impact,
would be UF quarterback Chris Leak.
The SG Election Commission, along
with supervisor Ali Blye, are respon-
sible for dictating the penalty for failing
to meet the deadline, according to SG
statutes.
Parties are required to submit infor-
mation even if they have incurred no
expenses up until the deadline.
Impact member
Andre Samuels said
his party did not have
,any expenses to report,
and the missed dead-
line was a communi-
cation error.
"Once we start
Samuels making profession-
ally made things, then
we'll-have something to report," Samuels
said.
Blye refused comment Monday, but
told the Alligator on Sunday she con-
tacted parties about an earlier dispute
regarding the violation of advertising
rules.
However, Christian Duque, chairman
of the Voice Party, disputed Blye's com-
ment, stating that he had not been con-
tacted regarding either the advertising
rules or the finance report deadline.
"It's no one's fault but ours, but we
don't really have a clue as to what to turn
in or anything like that," Duque said.
The Phoenix Party, which has since
morphed into Impact, also failed to
submit finance reports. Samuels said
Phoenix had not made any expenses and
added that the party name would likely.
be retracted at some point.
The Mad Hatter Party did not submit
a hard copy of its report before 5 p.m.,
but Scott Gilton, the party's presidential
candidate, said it was e-mailed to Blye
at 5 p.m.
"We didn't know the proper format of
it until today when we got our hands on
the statutes," Gilton said.
The Gator, Progress and Block par-
ties submitted on time, as well as in-
dependent senate candidate Alexander
Hadjilogiou.
Parties will be expected to submit
reports every Monday when class is in
session until SG elections, to take place
March 15 and 16, have concluded.
Nights nonpartisan
BREAKFAST, from page 1
the breakfast line as a meet-and-greet and to
make their candidacies official to the public.
Morrone said she doesn't have a problem
with parties setting up informational booths
or conducting a meet-and-greet with passers-
by, but she doesn't want official campaign an-
nouncements in front of a podium beckoning
student attention.
And unless all parties running can be
equally represented at the free; tuition-fund-
ed Gator Nights, she said it might imply the
union has a party preference.
"I don't want to act like we're affiliated
with one party or another," Morrone said.
But volunteers who dished out were not
sporting any Impact-particular political gear.
The Lady Monarchs would have shared
their breakfast volunteer time "for any candi-
date that approached them," Goodwin said:
Morrone said it has been commonplace
in past elections for political parties to serve
breakfast as a grassroots method of cam-
paigning with her prior approval.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Vote may
soon go
to Web
By LINDSAY PETER
Alligator Contributing Writer
Impact Party leaders hosted
a discussion forum Monday
expressing their support for a
change to voting procedures.
About 20 students assembled
in the Reitz Union listened to
positives and negatives for a
Spring election ballot initiative
that, if passed, will implement
online voting for future Student
Government elections.
If approved, the new system
would allow students, even those
studying abroad, to vote using
their GatorLink e-mail account any
time during the two-day election.
Human interaction at polls
would be eliminated, reducing
ballot-related error, said Student
Sen. Andrew Hoffman.
Risks in implementing online
voting, according to forum par-
ticipants, include computers pos-
sibly crashing,
the network link
disconnecting
and authenticat-
ing users.
Experts from
Accelerated
Data Works, de-
Hoffman signer of the on-
line voting pro-
gram SG has already purchased,
plan to monitor the system during
the voting period, Hoffman said:
The database would not be di-
rectly accessible from the Internet,
which would prohibit access to
hackers, he added.
Online voting would also re-
duce costs of hiring poll workers
and renting the ballot boxes and
voting booths, according to SG
documents, which currently cost
as much as $40,000 for each elec-
tion. Online voting would reduce
that cost to about $2,000 for one
election.
Block voting, an individual
or group voting for multiple stu-
dents, is one concern that forum
participants agreed cannot be
prevented. However, the practice
violates the Student Conduct
Code, and offenders could face
judicial action and even expulsion
if caught.
All voting would remain
anonymous, but students would
receive an electronic confirmation
code to verify their vote.
Hybrid voting, combining on-
line and ballot voting, was tried
in Fall 2001 without any appar-
ent technology-related problems,
but costs would not be reduced,
Hoffman said.
Forty-five other universities
that use online voting for stu-
dent government elections were
contacted, and the response was
overwhelmingly positive, he said.
"This initiative will allow stu-
dents to vote for change by chang-
ing the way they vote," Hoffman
said.

Junior falls back on faith
MEN'S, from page 20
had to lie on his stomach and
watch TV all night. Rest became
the prescription of choice. Some
days he could practice; some
days he couldn't.
But the worst part about the
injury was its unpredictability.
One day Moss would practice
'Iat full speed, twist his body in
every imaginable fashion and
not feel a shred of pain. The next
day he would do the same thing
and his leg would not comply.
"They've given me all the
anti-inflammatories and
pills, but I have a strong
faith, You go through
things for a reason and
God's my pain pill. If He
wants me to have the-
pain, then I'll have it. If He
doesn't want me to have
the pain, then He'll take it
from me."
Adrian Moss
U F forward
"God, he was hurt so bad,"
Brewer said. "People don't re-
alize how bad he was hurting.
But he came to practice and was
working as hard as ever. I don't
know how he does it. I really ap-
preciate it."
Moss will never be the same
again. He says he feels fine, but
i\the herniated disc likely will*rag
him for the rest of his life.
He'll always continue his
therapy, and, of course, the
stretching. Moss stretches his
legs, especially his hamstrings,
every night before he goes to
sleep and every morning after he
wakes. Still, despite it all, on any
day, at any time, the disc could
flare up again. Moss has options
to dull the pain, but he'd rather
just head-butt the ailment.
"They've given me all the
anti-inflammatories and pills,
but I have a strong faith," Moss
said. "You go through things for
a reason and God's my pain pill.
If He wants me to have the pain,
then I'll have it. If He doesn't
want me to have the pain, then
He'll take it from me."
Another alternative would
be surgery at season's end. But
Moss won't go there, either.
"After basketball I have a lot
of living to do," Moss said. "If I
get a bad doctor and he messes
up my surgery, I won't be able to
pick up my son when I have my
son. That's a lot more important
to.me than playing basketball."
Moss has widened his life's
horizons and has seemingly
burst pain's threshold. But for
now, he's set on basketball. He
admits he's rusty, but unless
his condition worsens, Moss
expects to play 20-25 minutes by
season's end.
"I'm pumped 'cause I'm feel-
ing no pain," he said. "I'm back
to being the old Adrian all ex-
cited and jumping around."
Moss' role will likely be one
of energy and motivation.
"I told my guys we'd use
him as a Band-Aid," Coach Billy
Donovan said.
The hurt has become the
healer.
Matt Marriott/ Alligator Staff
Second baseman Adam Davis and the Gators might seem far better than Florida A&M at first
glance, but both teams have struggled with errors. Davis has recorded two of UF's 10 errors
this season.
FAMU coach Durant: UF 'a top-20 team'
BASEBALL, from page 20
including a 11-5 loss in Gainesville: good for
third in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. The
Gators have a 12-0 record in the all-time series
between the teams.
Junior pitcher Bryan Ball said the Gators
aren't looking ahead to the Miami series.
"We're not worried about Miami right now;
we're worried about Florida A&M," Ball said.
"That's who we play first. We're not even think-
ing about Miami right now."
Sophomore second baseman Adam Davis
echoed those sentiments.
"Those guys are on that team, playing
Division I baseball. They had to do something
right to get there," Davis said. "I'm sure they
have some kind of baseball ability. Everything
can go right for them and they can win just as
easily as we can win."
Will the Gators go from being favorites to-
night to underdogs this weekend?
"People make it out that way, but that's defi-
nitely not how we feel whatsoever," Davis said.
"I would venture to say that 90 percent of the
people that are in the stands don't feel that way
either. They know how we play, the ability our
guys have. On paper, we're just as comparable to
them as they are to us. I don't see it that way."

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 19
2002: Sweet season soured by UM
By TIM CASEY
Alligator Writer
tcasey@alligator.org
During -Coach Pat
McMahon's debut season at
UF in 2002, his baseball team
hosted an NCAA Regional post-
season tournament for the first
time since 1998.
"It was our first club here,"
McMahon said Monday. "A
group of young men; I can't tell
you how much they have meant
to our program; A veteran
group. A lot of them hadn't re-
ally played that much, but they
played their hearts out and put-
together an outstanding season
in so many ways.
"I'm so proud of those clubs
and what they have done,"
McMahon said.
His team finished second in
the Southeastern Conference
Eastern Division with a 20-10
conference record, and entered
the Regional tournament with a
43-17 record overall.
The No. 1-seeded Gators
crushed No. 4 seed Bethune-
Cookman twice, but lost to
Miami 7-2 in a Saturday after-
noon matchup.
On Sunday, June 2, the Gators
once again met the Hurricanes
on the diamond.
Current UF senior Mike Pete
pitched the first four innings, al-
lowing four earned runs.
Kevin Coleman pitched 4.2
innings in relief, giving up five
earned runs.
Keith Ramsey entered the
...- ........I -.- -
Pitcher Connor Falkenbach is one of just a handful of Gators left
from 2002's team that lost to Miami in the NCAA Regional.
game in the ninth after Coleman
allowed four runs that tied the
game at 10-10.
Ramsey did not allow a bat-
ter to reach base in the ninth or
tenth inning, setting the .stage
for a dramatic ending in the bot-
tom of the inning.
"We won an extra-innings
game, the first one, in order to
play the second," McMahon
said. "We needed Mark Kiger's
home run to win, and what a
great, great win it was."
Kiger led-off the tenth with a
walk-off home run to left field,
giving the Gators a chance to
advance to the College World
Series if they could defeat
Miami again that evening.
"It was so hot. Our guys bat-
tled through the first series play-
ing late, late in the evening, and
our guys showed tremendous
determination, tremendous grit
and heart," McMahon said.
Corsaletti would pinch hit
again in the second game, sin-
gling up the middle in the sev-
enth inning. The Gators took a
5-4 lead in the top of the inning.
"Those were two of the
most intense games I've been
involved in: two-outstanding ef-
forts, two outstanding games,"
McMahon said. "We battled our
way through the loser's bracket
to be.successful."
Miami tied the game in the
bottom of the seventh, leading
to an even score entering the
ninth. UF scored two runs in the
top of the inning on one hit and
one error, but left two valuable
runners on base.
With two outs, third base-
man Kevin Howard singled to
center field, setting the table for
left fielder Jim Burt.
Burt knocked a double to
left-center field, scoring both
runners and giving Miami an 8-
7 win and a trip to Omaha.
"That club, I'm so proud of
what they achieved, in play-
ing themselves into hosting a
Regional," McMahon said. "It
was phenomenal."
CONTROL, from page 20
ter another early postseason exit.
While the season has just be-
gun, UF has a chance this week- a
end to get some sort of revenge
on Miami. The stakes are much
lower, but not to the Gators.
You never know if the baseball
gods will once again pair UF and
Miami this postseason, so this
could be the last chance for those
few seniors who have witnessed,
every loss.
Jeff Corsaletti, Connor
Falkenbach, Mike Pete and
Tommy Boss are the only Gators
who have endured the entire
Miami debacle from the start.
The first loss was also the most
unexpected. In 2002, the Gators
were on top of the baseball world.
The heavily favored Gators were
playing in Gainesville. The match-
up against Miami was supposed
to be little more than a gateway
to the College World Series. Until
Miami won. In the ninth inning of
the final game. From behind.
The next two years the Gators
would travel to Coral Gables as
underdogs and the result was
the same. Miami: Advances. UF:
Maybe next year.
The Gators still have to
face Florida A&M today, and
McMahon will tell you that the
team is focused on the Rattlers.
Sorry, but that's just not pos-
sible. Not when the Gators have
been waiting for a Miami rematch
since June of 2004. And 2003. And
2002.

Tough junior stays strong for team
E ADRIAN MOSS SAID HE DIDN'T THINK HE
WOULD PLAY TOO MUCH MORE THIS YEAR.
By LOUIS ANASTASIS--
Alligator Staff Writer
lanastasis@alligator.org
Adrian Moss struggled to find the right analogy.
"Have you sprained your ankle and have it balloon like
a grapefruit?" Moss asked a reporter.
"No," replied the reporter.
"Have you ever sprained your ankle?" Moss asked
again.
"Yes," replied the reporter.
"You know how you have the sharpness of that?" Moss
asked. "Imagine eight times worse than that."
That's the best way Moss a junior forward for the
Gators can describe the pangs of his
herniated disc. The disc began bulging
and pressing against the nerves in the
side of his right leg early this season.
The result? Sharp overwhelming jolts
of excruciating pain.
Moss began feeling the pain so often
that he stopped practicing with the team.
Brewer "I really didn't think I was going to
play too much more this year," he said.
Last week the pain subsided. A MRI scan revealed that
his disc was healing. Thursday, Moss survived a team
practice and was cleared to play by team doctors. SatulcdaU.
after missing seven consecutive games, Moss returned to
the hardwood against.Tennessee. The experience lasted just
three minutes, but Moss managed to score a pair of points.
His impact, however, transcended the stat sheet.
"He's a glue guy," UF guard Corey Brewer said. "When
he comes in he's going to bring the energy and the little
things.He's gonna knock people out. He's the enforcer and
we really need that."
For months, UF missed that Red Bull-on-legs-type
presence. But it was one of those very legs that ultimately
stapled Moss to the sidelines. Nick West/ Alligator Staff
One night, the pain worsened to the point that Moss UF forward Adrian Moss will fight through therapy his whole

Gators not rattled by prospect of facing Florida A&M

After winning their opening weekend series in a
somewhat sloppy fashion, the Gators host Florida A&M
tonight at McKethan Stadium. UF will attempt to solidify.
its defense and jump-start the bats in a game that features
two young starting pitchers.
While the FAMU game might appear an easy win,
Coach Pat McMahon's players say they are not looking
ahead to the upcoming weekend series against Miami.
"One of out goals is to play our game, and we're still
working hard to figure out some things that we need to
do to get better," McMahon said Monday. "That's what
we're practicing hard today to do, to continue to improve
to what we do tomorrow night.
"'m anxious to see how we stay focused and respond
to that," he said. "That's a good test for us in a lot of dif-
ferent ways."
The Gators (2-1) are slated to start freshman Stephen
Locke, a 6-foot-1 left-hander out of King High School in
Tampa.
"We're not worried about Miami right now;
we're worried about Florida A&M. That's who
we play first. We're not even thinking about
Miami right now."
FAMU is expected to counter with Clearwater native
Mike Tavernier, a 5-foot-lO right-handed freshman (0-1,
6.1 IP, 9.95 ERA, 4 K).
"We're just not swinging the bat," Florida A&M coach
Joe Durant said Monday.
When told of UF's defensive struggles last weekend
against Charleston Southern, Durant said it sounded like
his Rattlers. FAMU has committed 25 errors to start the
season while averaging only two runs per game.
"That's the way we've been playing, errors and no
hits," Durant said. "Florida is a top-20 team. That's prob-
ably just first-game jitters. I voted for them."
UF has committed 10 errors and has hit four batters in
three games.
"They're probably going to be mad," Durant said. "I
kinda hoped they'd beat Charleston Southern. We just
have to come play a competitive game and hope they take
it easy on us."
The Rattlers (0-9) finished last season with a 22-30 record,.

Breakfast motives questioned N THE IMPACT PARTY ANNOUNCED ITS EXECUTIVE TICKET AT FRIDAY'S GATOR NIGHTS. By BRIDGET CAREY Alligator Writer bcarey@alligator.org Gator Nights officials are raising eyebrows to possible foul play with the Impact Party's method of informally announcing its executive ticket candidates for the Spring Student Government election. The Lady Monarchs, a multicultural sorority-hopeful organization focused on community service, were scheduled to serve the traditional free midnight breakfast at Gator Nights on Friday. Instead, Impact Party members announced their executive candidates to students before they plopped the free food onto students' plates. "It all sounds very fishy to me," said Farrah Morrono, Gator Nights supervisor and assistant director at the Office of Student Activities. Morrone wasn't working during the midnight breakfast but said Impact Student Body presidential candidate Dennis Ngin told the Gator Nights student manager on duty that he was there to help the Lady Monarchs. "I'm really going to be frustrated if someone else posed as another student organization to promote their political party," Morrone said when Student she initially heard about Impact's GoVernmnent involvement. Impact spokeswoman Jessica Goodwin, who also holds the liaison officer position within the Lady Monarchs, said nothing was fishy about Ngin and Impact Party supporters serving the breakfast. "Dennis asked to work in association with them," Goodwin said. She added the Lady Monarchs were happy to hang around the food court while Ngin introduced himself to everyone in line waiting for food. n Impact's candidate for vice president, Robert Mack, and the candidate for treasurer, Elda Auxiliaire, also used SEE BREAKFAST, PAGE 8 Less hassle for students' visas New papers last 4 years By STEPHANIE GARRY Alligator Staff Writer smgarry@aIigator.org The U.S. government gave UF's nearly 3,000 international students a break Friday, cutting the paperwork required for students and scientists in "sensitive" fields. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security eased visa requirements, a move higher education officials hope will help counteract a national drop in foreigners studying in the United States last year. "This is a significant step," UF International Center Dean Dennis Jett, who is out of the country, wrote in an e-mail. "It eliminates the useless repetition of the clearance process which sometimes stranded people" overseas. International students who work in "sensitive scientific and technical fields," such as engineering, have had to undergo a security clearance process since 1998, when the Visas Mantis program was introduced to discourage the illegal transfer of technology. The process was annual, but now students can use one screening for the length of their academic program up to four years. "This change sends a clear message that the U.S. highly encourages those with great scientific minds to explore studying and working in our country," Asa Hutchinson, former undersecretary for the department's border and transportation security, said in a statement. UF's College of Engineering has the highest international student enrollment in the university, with more than 1,000 foreign students making up about 40 percent of UF's total foreign student enrollment in 2003. "We think it's going to be a beneficial step for us," said Pramod Khargonekar, dean of UF's College of Engineering. "We have a number of foreign students who come to study in the college, and this will make it easier for them to extend visas to come and study." UF's international student enrollment dropped 6.8 percent in Fall 2004, and the number of new foreign students dropped even more significantly, nearly 15 percent. Though the decline is a national trend, UF tries to recruit foreign students to augment domestic students' college experiences, support programs that don't have sufficient domestic demand and sustain research. Though Jett and Khargonekar said they-agreed that the Mantis program may have contributed to the drop, they suspect other factors played a part as Growing Jett economies in China and India are keeping students in those countries, and competition from Europe, Australia and Canada is diverting international students from U.S. universities, Khargonekar said. "We saw a significant drop of international students this year," Khargonekar said. "Difficulty in getting visas has been a part of the problem." .The college regularly receives e-mails from international students who have had visa delays, oftentimes when they go home to visit their families and try to return, Khargonekar said. Many of those students are likely to fall under the Mantis program, he said. N UF forward Adrian Moss will fight through therapy treatments for the rest of his life, but has returned to the team from a herniated disc. Said Moss: "I didn't think I was going to play too much more this year." See story, pg. 20.

2, ALLIGATOR E TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2005 News Today -C 2. 2 0 PE C.CL E 0 El LOCAL Legendary jazz orchestra to honor founder's 1ooth Gainesville and Frank Sinatra now have something in common, and it isn't a collection of fedoras. The city will join Sinatra in the ranks of hosts to the Count Basie Orchestra, to celebrate what would be the 100th birthday of its founder, William "Count" Basie. The concert is also a timely celebration of Basie's great impact on black history. During the 1930s, Basie was one of the only black band leaders, and along with contemporaries such as Duke Ellington, he helped define jazz music. His piano playing shaped modem jazz with his trademark "comping," which is a syncopated and precise style of play. Basie also pioneered musical integration, recording and performing with white artists such as Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. Basie formed his orchestra and toured extensively in the South amid great success and deeply divisive segregation -they were denied stay in certain hotels or service in restaurants. However, Basie often played to all-white audiences.

FORECAST TODAY SUNNY 77/52 WEDNESDAY SUNNY 78/52 said David Kushner, professor and head of Musicology/Music History at UE "Because when white audiences heard it, they enjoyed it, which lead to an integration and homogenization of musical styles. Basie had a great influence on white musicians." The orchestra is now lead by Bill Hughes, who sat in the trombone section for almost 50 years, and will be joined on tonight by singer Nnenna Freelon. Kushner hopes students will get excited because "it's part of our cultural history" Good music, he said, transcends generations and is just as important now as it ever was. "Why do people still listen to Mozart, which is hundreds of years old?" he asked. "Because it's good music." The orchestra will perform at the Phillips Center for the Performing Arts tonight at 7:30. Tickets for students are $10. -TRAVIS ATRIA Local woman charged with child neglect A Gainesville woman involved in a traffic accident was arrested after authorities found she left her two children home alone, according to reports.

But even without an essay, those who apply can still answer the essay question verbally. Impact Party candidate for vicepresident Robert Mack says his party's method to "select the best possible people on campus" lies in long, thorough interview sessions. Party leaders largely agree that the candidates they have seen and interviewed are as varied as the parties themselves. "We've been getting candidates from all over," said Michael Schuster, Gator Party president. With a full executive ticket, Schuster said the Gator Party saw at least 70 legislative candidates Monday and 20 to 30 candidates Friday -more than enough to run a full slate of 46 senators. "If we could, I wish we could give every single one of them a seat," he said. Gator Party interviews are schedcould give every single one of them a seat."

Voice's Web site, www.voiceparty.org, later stated Duque sought legal counsel, describing Bowen's speech in front of Senate as slanderous. Impact presidential candidate Dennis Ngin, who played a small part in Access' 2004 efforts, said things have changed since. "This is a totally different campaign," Ngin said, calling this year's efforts an "uphill battle." "We don't have all the same support," he said. Nick West/ Alligator Staff Dean of Students Dr. Gene Zdziarski shares a kiss with wife Cheri on the Plaza of the Americas. The two renewed their wedding vows while promoting commitment to UF's Honor Code. Students take honor 'vows' By DAN ONEY Alligator Contributing Writer The Plaza of the Americas was converted to a wedding pavilion Monday, where Dean of Students Gene Zdziarski and his wife renewed their vows as part of the Public Relations Student Society of America's Renew Your Vows campaign. "It is important to convey to students the importance of making a commitment to something, whether it is a wife or academic honesty," Zdziarski said after the ceremony held before a dozen students. His wife, Cheri, said, "Making a pledge is not just about academic integrity. It is about making a commitment to a life-long value system of integrity and honesty." Interfraternity Council President John Dicks said he came out to support both Zdziarski and the honor code. "It's kind of fun, kind of cool," he said. PRSSA, in its Gators have High Standards campaign, set up tables across the plaza encouraging students to follow Zdziarski's example. In exchange for signing the honor code, students received a pocket-sized copy of it, which gives discounts at local businesses. "UF is a community where academic dishonesty is not acceptable," said PRSSA President Ashley Zandy. Zandy is one of five members of PRSSA's Bateman Team who helped organize the event. The vows renewal was the peak event of the yearlong campaign. More than 500 students signed pledge cards during the event. "The card is just a symbol of truth and honesty," political science sophomore Ma'rvin Simeon said shortly after he signed. "Signing the pledge just showed my support for something I already believed in." The campaign will continue over the next few weeks as Bateman Team members talk to classes about academic honesty and integrity.

The Reitz Union Board hosted the mock weddings for anyone who was interested. Couples received Ring Pops, phony marriage certificates and a photograph with Elvis to commemorate the event. Jaclyn Rubio, co-chairwoman of the board's special events committee, said the marriages were just for fun. "It's Valentine's Day; we thought it'd be cute," she said. During the three hours Elvis was on the colonnade, between 30 and 40 couples took the plunge, Rubio said. The day started off rocky, as students were unsure of what to make of the situation. "It seems like people have commitment phobia," she said jokingly. Later, students warmed t the idea, and several large groups came to exchange vows, she said. Elvis, played by UF student Butch Tanner, approached UF athletic training students Bianca Villa and Alexandra Bayona, who agreed to be "married." On They joked they were going CaMpUS through with it because their boyfriends wouldn't marry them. Holding a bouquet of plastic flowers, the friends laughed as Elvis, dressed in a redand-white pantsuit, sunglasses, a black wig and zebra-striped platform shoes, began the ceremony. "Do you, Bianca, swear to uphold the finest laws and to keep her as close as possible and not let her talk to strangers?" he asked. Tanner affirmed the shoes were an essential part of the outfit. "That 'was something Elvis held very close to his heart," he said. Tupac's mom to speak By DAN ONEY Alligator Contributing Writer Afeni Shakur will speak tonight at the University Auditorium as part of Black History Month. Shakur is a former Black Panther and civil-rights activist, as well as the mother of rapper Tupac Shakur. Jasmine Guy, who wrote the biography of Afeni Shakur's life, will appear with her. This is the first time BSU has booked two female speakers to appear on the same stage. Elda Auxiliaire, executive director for Black History Month events, said BSU chose to book the pair because of their perceived ability to reach audiences of all ages. "In planning Black History Month in early summer, we wanted to pick a speaker who would touch people," Auxiliaire said. Russell Simmons was last year's keynote speaker for Black History Month. "They all bring a message," Auxiliaire said. "The fact is that the things that happened in the past shape our future." The topics of the speech are still unknown, but Auxiliaire said she did not see this as a problem. "Because the students do not know what will be talked about, the Black H'istory students may Month be impacted more," she said. "We try to bring people who can touch everyone's lives." Auxiliaire expects the 845-seat auditorium to fill. The event will also include a question-and-answer session. It will begin at 6 p.m. and is free to the public.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 5 uctio ed daesraise eartf t money for relief E2011L ,-.--. Nick West /.Alligator Staff Mike Lamire, Kamphrey, Holly Allen and Andy Jean enjoy dinner with the highest bidders for-their eBay auction. The group auctioned the dates to raise money for tsunami relief efforts in Asia. U DUE TO AN EBAY SNAFU, THE AUCTIONS ENDED EARLY. By KYLIE CRAIG Alligator Writer kcraig@alligator.org Four UF students who auctioned themselves as dafes on eBay raised more than $250 for tsunami relief but not without a few technical difficulties. The students were up for grabs as Valentine's Day dates to raise money for the cause, but two hours before bidding was set to end, eBay pulled their auctions off its site. Mike Lemire, organizer of the auction, said eBay pulled the auctions because it wanted the students to use the Web site's own charity program to collect the funds. Lemire said he called several times before starting the auction to ask eBay for permission but that the company didn't respond until a week after the auction's start. "I didn't go through it because they take away 10 percent to cover their fees," Lemire said, adding that he felt the amount was too significant. He also said stopping the auction two hours before its ending time had a negative effect on the amount raised because many wait to enter bids. "I had e-mails throughout the week where people said they weren't going to bid until the last minute," Lemire said. Ultimately, the students decided not to let the technical problems keep them from following through. Lemire said he contacted people with the highest bids at the time the auction was stopped and negotiated donation amounts to determine who would win the date. The students and the winning bidders all went out-for a Valentine's Day dinner and movie Monday night. Lemire said everyone was pleased with how it turned out. "No one was left out, and we had a great time because we were all there for a good cause," he said. "We still raised money that wasn't there before." Despite what happened, Lemire said he is looking into starting another auction toraise even more money for the cause. Blue Key members serve Valentine's cheer to homeless By LIN DSAY TAULBEE Alligator Writer Itaulbee@alligator.org On a night when many in town were making reservations and heading out to their favorite restaurants, a few UF students instead prepared and served dinner for about 35 of Gainesville's homeless community. With food donated by Kash n' Karry and Phi Kappa Tau fraternity, five Florida Blue Key members dished out pasta and meat sauce, garlic bread, rice, vegetables and brownies Monday night at the St. Francis House homeless shelter in downtown Gainesville., Jason Goldman, FBK service director, said few -other volunteers from the community had signed up to help with food preparation Monday. "They get a lot of help, but no one else wanted to do it on Valentine's Day," he said. "It's a nice way to spend your Valentine's Day, helping other people."

6, ALLIGATOR E TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2005 Editorial Ballot boost Online voting would raise turnout, increase access When students gather in March to determine their representatives in Student Government, they also will weigh in on an issue that will drastically affect future SG elections: online voting. And though there are outspoken opponents of online voting -some of whom have valid points -the possible benefits far outweigh the negatives. The immediate benefit of online voting would be increased voter turnout. The easier a process gets, the more likely college students are to participate. Under the online voting system, students could surf over to the voting Web site whenever they pleased and be in and out in a few minutes at the most. Furthermore, according to Student Sen. Adam Roberts, SG's technology cabinet director, it's possible online voting would be open 24 hours during election days. Instead of going out of their way to queue up in the hot sun, students would be able to vote at any time during voting days from the privacy of their homes. And the evidence says that students will take advantage of this. According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, online voting has produced significant increases in student election turnout at universities such as Clemson University, Emory University and Boston College. In addition, online voting would save money. Last year's election cost more than $20,000, while the expected cost of operating the program would be about $2,000 -which includes 24hour monitoring from Accelerated Data Works, the company that developed the voting software. The numbers speak for themselves, but there still are other benefits, including easier access to elections for disabled students and reduced waste due to elimination of paper ballots. Of course,.concerns about the security of online voting are valid. While there is no way that the possibility of voter fraud, including hacking and block voting, can be removed from the online voting process, solutions to help lessen this possibility have been discussed b'y SG and Accelerated Data Works. Hacking certainly is an issue in a university with as large and tech-savvy a student body as UFs, but the chances of this happening can be limited by the process' regulation by an independent party such as Accelerated Data Works. Another layer of security could be added by the separation of the voting Web page and the database where the information would be stored, as well as keeping a backup server that could compare data with the original in order to detect tampering, Roberts said. Another concern is that the system will make it easier for organizations to require their members to vote for particular candidates. It is possible that leaders of these organizations could collect GatorLink IDs and passwords from members and then use those to vote for the same candidates. But Roberts and other members of SC have worked to determine ways in which this practice could be discouraged. For instance, individual computersidentified by their IP addresses -could be allowed to vote only a few times within a specified period of time. Exceptions could be made so students could still vote on multi-user computers such those in CIRCA labs. Even better, the voting process could require students to answer a security question based on information already in ISIS, such as their mother's maiden name or their place of birth. Students still could then be coerced to vote for a candidate -but only if someone was standing over their shoulder. Ultimately, however, students have to take responsibility for their vote. If they allow themselves to be coerced, not much can be done. The simple fact is that online voting will greatly simplify the voting process, which is an important step toward increasing student participation. the independent florida Dwayne Robinson MattSanchez EDITOR OPINIONS EDITOR Mike Gimignani Lauren Flanagan MANAGING EDITOR Diana Middleton Craig Singleton EDITORIAL BOARD The Alligator encourages comments from readers.

Opinions ALLIGATOR www.a11igator.org/opinions -7 Column Republican chooses a blue Valentine Howie, Valentine's Day has passed, but my love for you remains. In the past year, we've been through good times and bad, primaries and elections, scaridal and intrigue. But, in the end, two things remain: love and politics. While we never agree, times change, and so do people. You now run the Democratic National Committee, and while I'm still a Republican, I can't help but love your plan for your party. You plan to rebuild your party and return it to the liberal roots that created your base. The hippie liberalism of the past has been abandoned by the American public, but the Democratic Party clings to old standards like a captain to his sinking ship. Growing numbers of citizens are identifying themselves as Republicans, not because of trendy campaign rhetoric, but because of a dramatic shift in the perception of American values. While you cling to your first love -the Democratic Party -America moves forward into the future with the Republican Party's clear vision for the next century. You say you want to build the Democratic Party back up from the bottom. I've always loved your management style. While you spend time with the common man, the non-voter, the apathetic citizen, your party's base of real voters will dwindle from neglect. You'll court the unemployed, the felon and the disenfranchised, the people who need the attention of the party but don't care to vote. Your love "for the people" is profound, and I'm sure that 50year-old who never has voted before will go to the polls because you asked him to. Your bid for the Democratic Party's nomination for president was adimrable; you built a base of supporters who never had voted and raised huge sums of money from average citizens. Your armies of supporters couldn't Allison Cullin Strategery Sessions letters@afligator.org turn out the vote for you, though, and as we continue the eternal battle between Republican and Democrat, it's heartening for me to see the huge numbers of people who are willing to campaign but not to vote. It's clear that America is changing, and the past liberalism has begun to fade away as young citizens realize the value of conservative fiscal and moral values. Time has changed the views of the majority of voters. While we work for the future, you remember the past glories of your party. It's time for you to realize that the future of the Democratic Party has to be with the mainstream of America. The times we face demand leadership within the parties and throughout the nation. While you choose to lead your party to the left, you choose to ignore the needs of the people you claim to serve. Remember, it's hard to work for the future when you cling to your past. We'll see what happens with the future, but the changes you look for will only push America further to the right, and I love you for it. While I love your campaign style and your general charisma, I love you most because you'll make my life easier. Come election season, the time again will come to do battle. You'll bring out your army of Deaniacs, and my party will send out its seasoned veterans. We'll see then what the map looks like. Judging by your past failures, I think I'll be celebrating again as I gaze at a map that's redder than ever before. Allison Cullin is a political science and economics sophomore.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 7 Letters to the Editor Board's decision leaves much to be done Editor: The Florida Board of Governors should be commended for exercising its constitutional responsibilities in turning down the chiropractic program at Florida State University. This program had been approved by the Legislature but had not been authorized by the board. Its constitutionality is questionable given that the 11th Amendment to the state Constitution, passed in 2002, says, "The Board of Governors shall operate, regulate, control and be fully responsible for the management of the whole university system." In dealing with the proposal, the board shows it accepts its constitutional authority over the university system. In a constitutional sense, it did not matter whether it accepted or rejected the proposal. The important point is that it recognized and exercised its authority over a major higher education issue. Although the chiropractic program has been turned down, the legislation authorizing the program called for an annual appropriation of $9 million to go to FSU to be used as the university wished until the chiropractic program was implemented. After the board's action, there is no justification for continuing this appropriation, and it should be rescinded. Other governance issues still need clarification. As a result of efforts by Johnnie Byrd, former speaker of the House, the Legislature has approved $52 million for an Alzheimer's Center at the University of South Florida named for Byrd's father, though the board had not authorized it. The constitutionality of such action obviously is questionable. With the passage of the 11th Amendment, a number of actions by the legislative and the executive branches of Florida government appear to be inconsistent with the state Constitution. A private, not-for-profit organization called Floridians for Constitutional Integrity has been formed to ask the courts to determine the legality of such actions. As Floridians and Americans, we are governed by laws -both constitutional and statutory. At the heart of this university governance issue is the fact that constitutional laws override or supersede statutory laws. This is why the courts are being asked to rule on a matter which, to many, appears to be quite dear. E. T. York Chancellor Emeritus, State University System of Florida Some offensive words can't be defended Editor: I am shocked and offended that columnist Jason Levitt is not shocked and offended. It is one thing to uphold the values of the First Amendment and the marketplace of ideas. It is an entirely different thing to defend a man who compares the innocent victims of Sept. 11, 2001 to the Nazis and actually condones their deaths. Levitt says opinions like this that stray from the mainstream "signal a strong and healthy public sphere." Forgive me, but I believe that anyone who says a secretary with three kids working at her job on a Tuesday morning deserves to have a 747 smash into her office does not signal a healthy public sphere.

8, ALLIGATOR U TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2005 STUDENT GOVERNMENT Parties miss financial report deadline By NEIL HUGHES Alligator Writer nhughes@alligator.org Only three parties made the Monday. deadline for parties to submit their expenses for the upcoming Student Government elections. The Impact, Voice, Strike Force and Phoenix Parties failed to submit their reports to the SG supervisor of elections by 5 p.m., according to public records given to the Alligator-on Monday According to SG statutes, all registered parties are required to submit itemized weekly finance reports. Monday was the first deadline. "I was not contacted regarding any fliers or any regulations," Impact presidential candidate Dennis Ngin said, "which is kind of weird since my phone number is readily available" Traditionally, the campaign treasurer is responsible for submitting the financial reports, who, in the case of Impact, would be UF quarterback Chris Leak. The SG Election Commission, along with supervisor Ali Blye, are responsible for dictating the penalty for failing to meet the deadline, according to SG statutes. Parties are required to submit information even if they have incurred no expenses up until the deadline. Impact member Andre Samuels said his party did not have any expenses to report, and the missed deadline was a communication error. "Once we start Samuels .making professionally made things, then we'll-have something to report," Samuels said. Blye refused comment Monday, but told the Alligator on Sunday she contacted parties about an earlier dispute regarding the violation of advertising rules. However, Christian Duque, chairman of the Voice Party, disputed Blye's comment, stating that he had not been contacted regarding either the advertising rules or the finance report deadline. "It's no one's fault but ours, but we don't really have a clue as to what to turn in or anything like that," Duque said. The Phoenix Party, which has since morphed into Impact, also failed to submit finance reports. Samuels said Phoenix had not made any expenses and added that the party name would likely_ be retracted at some point. The Mad Hatter Party did not submit a hard copy of its report before 5 p.m., but Scott Gilton, the party's presidential candidate, said it was e-mailed to Blye at 5 p.m. "We didn't know the proper format of it until today when we got our hands on the statutes," Gilton said. The Gator, Progress and Block parties submitted on time, as well as independent senate candidate Alexander Hadjilogiou. Parties will be expected to submit reports every Monday when class is in session until SG elections, to take place March 15 and 16, have concluded. f s(cm on Campus A Journey to Islam in America" y Jeffrey Lang Tuesday, Tebruary 15, 2005 7:00 pm T7LRJL011 ",For those whom Isfam has em6races the greatest witness to Gos unremitting, pursuing, sustaining, andguiding (ave is tie Quran.

Morrone said she doesn't have a problem with parties setting up informational booths or conducting a meet-and-greet with passersby, but she doesn't want official campaign announcements in front of a podium beckoning student attention. And unless all parties running can be equally represented at the free, tuition-funded Gator Nights, she said it might imply the union has a party preference. "I don't want to act like we're affiliated with one party or another," Morrone said. But volunteers who dished out were not sporting any Impact-particular political gear.

About 20 students assembled in the Reitz Union listened to positives and negatives for a Spring election ballot initiative that, if passed, will implement online voting for future Student Government elections. If approved, the new system would allow students, even those studying abroad, to vote using their GatorLink e-mail account any time during the two-day election. Human interaction at polls would be eliminated, reducing ballot-related error, said Student Sen. Andrew Hoffman. Risks in implementing online voting, according to forum participants, include computers possibly crashing, the network link disconnecting and authenticating users. Experts from Data Works, deHoffman signer of the online voting program SG has already purchased, plan to monitor the system during the voting period, Hoffman said. The database would not be directly accessible from the Internet, which would prohibit access to hackers, he added. Online voting would also reduce costs of hiring poll workers and renting the ballot boxes and voting booths, according to SG documents, which currently cost as much as $40,000 for each election. Online voting would reduce that cost to about $2,000 for one election. Block voting, an. individual or group voting for multiple students, is one concern that forum participants agreed cannot be prevented. Howeyer, the practice violates the Student Conduct Code, and offenders could face judicial action and even expulsion if caught. All voting would remain anonymous, but students would receive an electronic confirmation code to verify their vote. Hybrid voting, combining online and ballot voting, was tried in Fall 2001 without any apparent technology-related problems, but costs would not be reduced, Hoffman said. Forty-five other universities that use online voting for student government elections were contacted, and the response was overwhelmingly positive, he said. "This initiative will allow students to vote for change by changing the way they vote," Hoffman said.

"We're not worried about Miami right now; we're worried about Florida A&M," Ball said. "That's who we play first. We're not even thinking about Miami right now." Sophomore second baseman Adam Davis echoed those sentiments. "Those guys are on that team, playing Division I baseball. They had to do something right to get there," Davis said. "I'm sure they have some kind of baseball ability. Everything can go right for them and they can win just as easily as we can win." Will the Gators go from being favorites tonight to underdogs this weekend? "People make it out that way, but that's definitely not how we feel whatsoever," Davis said. "I would venture to say that 90 percent of the people that are in the stands don't feel that way either. They know how we play, the ability our guys have. On paper, we're just as comparable to them as they are to us. I don't see it that way."

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2005 m ALLIGATOR, 19 2002: Sweet season soured by UM By TIM CASEY Alligator Writer tcasey@aligator.org During Coach Pat McMahon's debut season at UF in 2002, his baseball team hosted an NCAA Regional postseason tournament for the first time since 1998. "It was our first club here," McMahon said Monday. "A group of young men; I can't tell you how much they have meant to our program. A veteran group. A lot of them hadn't really played that much, but they played their hearts out and put together an outstanding season in so many ways. "I'm so proud of those clubs and what they have done," McMahon said. His team finished second in the Southeastern Conference Eastern Division with a 20-10 conference record, and entered the Regional tournament with a 43-17 record overall. The No. 1-seeded Gators crushed No. 4 seed BethuneCookman twice, but lost to Miami 7-2 in a Saturday afternoon matchup. On Sunday, June 2, the Gators once again met the Hurricanes on the diamond. Current UF senior Mike Pete pitched the first four innings, allowing four earned runs. Kevin Coleman pitched 4.2 innings in relief, giving up five earned runs. Keith Ramsey entered the Pitcher Connor Falkenbach is one of just a handful of Gators left from 2002's team that lost to Miami in the NCAA Regional. game in the ninth after Coleman allowed four runs that tied the game at 10-10. Ramsey did not allow a batter to reach base in the ninth or tenth inning, setting the stage for a dramatic ending in the bottom of the inning. "We won an extra-innings game, the first one, in order to play the second," McMahon said. "We needed Mark Kiger's home run to win, and what a great, great win it was." Kiger led-off the tenth with a walk-off home run to left field, giving the Gators a chance to advance to the College World Series if they could defeat Miami again that evening. "It was so hot. Our guys battled through the first series playing late, late in the evening, and our guys showed tremendous determination, tremendous grit and heart," McMahon said. Corsaletti would pinch hit again in the second game, singling up the middle in the seventh inning. The Gators took a 5-4 lead in the top of the inning. "Those were two of the most intense games I've been involved in: two outstanding efforts, two outstanding games," McMahon said. "We battled our way through the loser's bracket to be successful." Miami tied the game in the bottom of the seventh, leading to an even score entering the ninth. UF scored two runs in the top of the inning on one hit and one error, but left two valuable runners on base. With two outs, third baseman Kevin Howard singled to center field, setting the table for left fielder Jim Burt. Burt knocked a double to left-center field, scoring both runners and giving Miami an 87 win and a trip to Omaha. "That club, I'm so proud of what they achieved, in playing themselves into hosting a Regional," McMahon said. "It was phenomenal." .I'm alStudent cir Plasnma' Dcnor $180 Month This coupon good for an extra $5 on your 2nd and 4th Name: Serena Barry Class: UF Senior Major: Elementary Education Hobbies: Reading, Watching TV, hanging out with my friends, adjust relaxing Why d-I donatePla mal?

While the season has just begun, UF has a chance this weekend to get some sort of revenge on Miami. The stakes are much lower, but not to the Gators. You never know if the baseball gods will once again pair UF and Miami this postseason, so this could be the last chance for those few seniors who have witnessed, every loss. Jeff Corsaletti, Connor Falkenbach, Mike Pete and Tommy Boss are the only Gators who have endured the entire Miami debacle from the start. The first loss was also the most unexpected. In 2002, the Gators were on top of the baseball world. The heavily favored Gators were playing in Gainesville. The matchup against Miami was supposed to be little more than a gateway to the College World Series. Until Miami won. In the ninth inning of the final game. From behind. The next two years the Gators would travel to Coral Gables as underdogs and the result was the same. Miami: Advances. UF: Maybe next year. The Gators still have to face Florida A&M today, and McMahon will tell you that the team is focused on the Rattlers. Sorry, but that's just not possible. Not when the Gators have been waiting for a Miami rematch since June of 2004. And 2003. And 2002. I I I rf4m 11=3

Sports TUSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2005 Tough junior stays strong for team U ADRIAN MOSS SAID HE DIDN'T THINK HE WOULD PLAY TOO MUCH MORE THIS YEAR. By LOUIS ANASTASIS Alligator Staff Writer Ianastasis@alIigator.org Adrian Moss struggled to find the right analogy. "Have you sprained your ankle and have it balloon like a grapefruit?" Moss asked a reporter. "No," replied the reporter. "Have you ever sprained your ankle?" Moss asked, again. "Yes," replied the reporter. "You know how you have the sharpness of that?" Moss asked. "Imagine eight times worse than that." That's the best way Moss -a junior forward for the Gators -can describe the pangs of his herniated disc. The disc began bulging and pressing against the nerves in the -side of his right leg early this season. The result? Sharp overwhelming jolts of excruciating pain. Moss began feeling the pain so often that he stopped practicing with the team. -Brewer "I really didn't think I was going to play too much more this year," he said. Last week the pain subsided. A MRI scan revealed that his disc was healing. Thursday, Moss survived a team practice and was cleared to play by team doctors. Saturday, after missing seven consecutive games, Moss returned to the hardwood against Tennessee. The experience lasted just three minutes, but Moss managed to score a pair of points. His impact, however, transcended the stat sheet. "He's a glue guy," UF guard Corey Brewer said. "When he comes in he's going to bring the energy and the little things. He's gonna knock people out. He's the enforcer and we i a1ly need that." For months, UF missed that Red Bull-on-legs-type presence. But it was one of those very legs that ultimately stapled Moss to the sidelines.

ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/sports BASEBALL Gators not rattled by prospect of facing Florida A&M By TIM CASEY Alligator Writer tcasey@alligator.org After winning their opening weekend series in a somewhat sloppy fashion, the Gators host Florida A&M tonight at McKethan Stadium. UF will attempt to solidify its defense and jump-start the bats in a game that features two young starting pitchers. While the FAMU game might appear an easy win, Coach Pat McMahon's players say they are not looking ahead to the upcoming weekend series against Miami. "One of our goals is to play our game, and we're still working hard to figure out some things that we need to do to get better," McMahon said Monday. "That's what we're practicing hard today to do, to continue to improve to what we do tomorrow night. ",m anxious to see how we stay focused and respond to that," he said. "That's a good test for us in a lot of different ways." The Gators (2-1) are slated to start freshman Stephen Locke, a 6-foot-1 left-hander out of King High School in Tampa. "We're not worried about Miami right now; we're worried about Florida A&M. That's who we play first. We're not even thinking about Miami right now." Bryan Ball UF pitcher FAMU is expected to counter with Clearwater native Mike Tavernier, a 5-foot-10 right-handed freshman (0-1, 6.1 IP, 9.95 ERA, 4 K). "We're just not swinging the bat," Florida A&M coach Joe Durant said Monday. When told of UF's defensive struggles last weekend against Charleston Southern, Durant said it sounded like his Rattlers. FAMU has committed 25 errors to start the season while averaging only two runs per game. "That's the way we've been playing, errors and no hits," Durant said. "Florida is a top-20 team. That's probably just first-game jitters. I voted for them." UF has committed 10 errors and has hit four batters in three games. "They're probably going to be mad," Durant said. "I kinda hoped they'd beat Charleston Southern. We just have to come play a competitive game and hope they take it easy on us." The Rattlers (0-9) finished last season with a 22-30 record,.
