UM drought over

First baseman Matt LaPorta swings at a pitch in UF's 14-11 victory against Miami on Sunday. LaPorta
hit three home runs in the series, including one on Sunday to give the Gators two insurance runs.
*UF TOOK A MIAMI SERIES
FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 1996.
By TIM CASEY
Alligator Writer
tcasey@alligator.org
What started bad for UF ended
much better.
The Gators took two of three
games in their weekend, series
against Miami after losing on Friday.
All three games in the series were
close, and the first two concluded
dramatically. On Sunday, UF sefht
the No. 2 Hurficanes back to Coral
Gables with a 14-11 defeat.
UF lost to Miami on Friday
9-7, but won 2-1 in 11 innings on
Saturday. A record 13,978 fans, the
most for a three-game series in UF
history, witnessed the in-state ri-
valry. '
Coach Pat McMahon talks a lot
about struggling, constant battling
and strategy. The Gators' loss Friday
night played a major role in the sub-
sequent victories.
"One of our goals in a three-game
series is to get into their bullpen in
the first game," McMahon said.
"You get to see pitchers, and as the
pitchers unfold, you can stretch that
so they can't pitch as long. That was
a huge part for us to be successful
today.
"They're a great team.
We're going to be facing
great teams all year, so
this is a good experience
for us."
Connor Falkenbach
UF pitcher
"We addressed that Friday, and
even in the loss Friday, it helped us
Saturday and today," he said. "It
was very important to put yourself
in position to take a series, and this
was the second series we've taken
this year."
The No. 15 Gators (5-2) led 12-2
after four innings, with every player
having a hit or a walk.

minum bats ... no leads are safe,"

Murder trial ends deadlocked
By MEGAN V. WINSLOW

mwinslow@alligator.org
For the second time in three
months, a jury was unable to
reach a verdict in the trial of
Willie Hudson, who is accused
of the July 2003 first-degree mur-
ders of John Adkins and Kevin
Harris.
After more than seven hours
of deliberation, Judge Mary Day
Coker read a statement prepared
by the jury foreperson.
"'We respectfully come to you
with heavy hearts to say we are
unable to. reach a unanimous
verdict,'" Goker read. "'We are a
very divided jury about the evi-
dence presented to us.'"
Family members and friends
waded through about 13 hours of
uncertainty Friday.

neither attorney said he was
completely surprised by the re-
sult of the three-day trial.
"It's a difficult case," Fleck
said. "The evidence is not perfect,
and it happened once before, so
I can't say it came as a complete
surprise."
Bernstein; whose defense was
based largely on an alibi provid-
ed by Hudson's wife, Selena, said
conflicting evidence presented
to the jury may have hampered
the trial.
"It's a very important issue
that the community needs a
resolution on," Bernstein said. "I
think that it's just a hotly contest-
ed, very close question, and from
my perspective, if it's been this
divided twice, it's a good indica-
tion of reasonable doubt."
On July 2, 2003, Adkins,
28, borrowed Hudson's Buick

a friend's house to make a drug
transaction. According to the
prosecution, Hudson, 30, was in

make the building possible.
The 127,000-square-foot
Institute is situated at 3450 Hull

UF Dance Marathon holds
Family Day at SFCC zoo
Monkeys were not the only
ones running around at the SFCC
Teaching Zoo on Sunday.
About 500 children, students and
community members turned out for
the fourth-annual Family Day at the
Zoo, an event sponsored by Dance
Marathon at UF to raise awareness
for Children's Miracle Network at
Shands Children's Hospital.
"One of the reasons why this
event is so great is because it gives
us a chance to interact with the
children," Dance Marathon Special
Events Chairwoman Christina
Criser said. "Seeing them here re-
minds you of who you are doing
this for."
Family Day, held from 10 a.m.
to 2 p.m., featured an assortment of
carnival games campus organiza-
tions set up. Animal exhibits, clowns
and face-painting booths were just a
few festivities open to the public.
Dave Kanarek, Dance Marathon
co-operations chairman, has a more
personal connection to the event.
As an infant, Kanarek was treat-
ed at Shands for Hirschsprung's
disease, an uncommon condition
caused by a lack of neive cells in
the end of the colon. Kanarek was
one of seven miracle children who
attended.
"I got involved in Dance

event is a great way for supporters
of Dance Marathon to see where
there money goes."
All activities at the event were
free to the public, but donations
were encouraged.
Event sponsors said Family Day
- was a success, raising $600 that will
go toward equipment, computers,
books, games and educational ma-
terials for children at Shands.

Miami fan disrupts UF-UM game
By MEGAN V..WINSLOW
Alligator Writer
mwinslow@alligator.org
Angry about a call made by an umpire at Sunday's
UF baseball game against the University of Miami, a
student was arrested for running onto the field.
At the top of the fifth inning, Lori Christine Bailey, 19,
jumped the field fence after UM left fielder Jon Jay was
called out at third base and began yelling at the umpire,
according to a University Police report.
She is charged with trespassing, a misdemeanor, re-
ports state. An announcement before the game, as well
as posted signs around the stadium, warned fans not to
enter the field.
Bailey said she was not aware of the announcement,
reports state. She was taken to the Alachua County Jail.
UF WOMAN FENDS OFF RAPIST: A UF student's refusal
helped foil an attempted rape Saturday morning.
At about 2:30 a.m., the 21-year-old woman was sit-
ting in her car making a phone call at 1100 SW Third
Ave. when a white male snatched open her door, waved
a gun in her face and told her to undress, Gainesville
Police Department spokesman Keith Kameg said.
The woman took off her pants but refused to disrobe
further, and the man pushed her face into the passenger's
seat. She continued to refuse, and the assailant fled.
Although she was not raped, the woman was trans-
ported to a local hospital after the attack, Kameg said.
* AEPi's POKER EVENT WAS
JUST ONE OF SEVERAL BEN-
EFITING LOCAL CHARITIES.
By KYLIE CRAIG
Alligator Writer
kcraig@alligator.org
The weekend was filled with
fundraising events and volunteer
work for several UF fraternities
and sororities.
Friday night, Alpha Epsilon Pi
fraternity held its annual Poker
All Night Long philanthropy.
The event raised about $3,000
for the Leukemia and Lymphoma
Society.
Nearly 80 students paid be-
tween $10 and $25 to enter the
poker competition, which lasted
until about 2 a.m.
A video game tournament was
held for those who weren't play-
ing poker.
"This event has a lot of things
going on to make it fun for ev-
eryone," said Danny Miller, the
fraternity's president.
UF graduate student Jonathan
Shivers entered the poker com-
petition under the "open divi-
sion," which allowed non-Greek
students the opportunity to par-
ticipate.
He said he decided to play
because he "figured it would be
a fun time and to be here for a
good cause."
Shivers only made it through
the first few hands in the com-
petition.
"The girls were the ones who
were kicking butt out there," he
said. -
Another example of week-
end philanthropy, the Pigskins
and Pigtails football game, was
organized by Delta Tau Delta
fraternity.

The fraternity's vice president,
Mike Patrone, said he's expecting
the total amount raised to exceed
last year's $3,000.
"The way things are going, we
really think we're going to get
upwards of $4,500," he said.
The funds will be donated to

Cross cleanup Saturday:
Nearly 45 students volun-

different regional Red Cross lo-
cations.
Kay Lenard, emergency ser-

Red Cross, said the extra help
was needed so all the-supplies
would be ready for the next hur-
ricane or other disaster.

the event.
"We were looking for people
we could help because of all the

Video game tournament benefits returning soldiers
* THE ARMY ROTC-SPON-
SORED EVENT RAISED $130.
By NEIL HUGHES
Alligator Writer
nhughes@alligator.org
Gainesville residents repeatedly
killed each other Saturday, all for a
good cause.
UF Army ROTC sponsored its
first-ever Halo 2 tournament to raise
money for wounded soldiers return-
ing from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Halo 2 is a first-person shooter
video game pitting humanity
against invading alien races.
The $130 raised will support the
Wounded Warrior Project's back-
pack program, said event organizer
Jonathan Oblon. Each backpack
given to returning soldiers is stocked
with comfort items such as toiletries.
Eight teams of two players par-
ticipated in the double-elimination
tournament on two XBox consoles
hooked up to 32-inch projectors.
Blockbuster Video donated the
equipment, Oblon said.
Teams were required' to pay a
$10 entry fee, but Oblon said many
of the teams voluntarily paid $20,
which allowed the fundraiser to buy
two backpacks instead of one.
"This is an opportunity to have
fun, raise money and see some of
the different things we-do up here,"
Oblon said. "Anyone who asks about
[Van Fleet] thinks it's just dorms."
Two high school students ended
up surviving--undefeated, taking
home the grand prize.
John Van, from Buchholz High
School, and Ben Johnson, from P.K.
Yonge High School, made up the
"Gainesville Dream Team." They
defeated Army ROTC members
Alex Holt and John Gillette of "Team
America," 37 kills to 26.
Van, who said he has a level-23
skill ranking in Halo 2 on Microsoft's
Internet gaming service XBox Live,
said he heard about the tournament
Saturday morning, and was asked
by a friend to fill in.
The victors and runners-up
took home plaques donated by the
UF Trophy Shop which featured a
picture of Master Chief, the game's
main character, in the heat of battle.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity
also competed in the event under
the name "Buttcheeks," as well as
the College Republicans, who were
represented by the only two females
in the tournament.
Jackie Angelo and Stephanie
Pinkovsky were eliminated in the
second round, but Angelo said she
was more familiar with the origi-
nal Halo and was unfamiliar with
changes made in Halo 2, such as a
weaker melee attack and the ability
to dual-wield weapons.
Vietnamese festival welcomes the Year of the Rooster

Members of the Vietnamese Student Organization entertain the audience with a lion dance at a Tet
celebration held in the Reitz Union on Saturday.

Alligator Contributing Writer
Vietnamese traditions met
Western culture in- the Reitz Union
Grand Ballroom on Saturday night.
More than 600 people celebrated
the Vietnamese New Year, Tet, at the
Vietnamese Student Organization's
annual festival.
Ushering in
Multic,Ultural the Year of the
A'f''g Rooster, the -cel-
ebration began
with a traditional
Tet dinner, which included sweet
rice cakes, egg rolls and Vietnamese
chicken salad. After dinner, VSO
put on a show filled with songs,
dances, fashion shows and a skit.
"We try to spread the Vietnamese
culture through this event," said
VSO President Quang Duong.
The traditional part of the show
included a lion dance and a fashion
show of customary Vietnamese
outfits called ao dai. Li xi, money
in red envelopes given to children
for Tet, was passed out during in-
termission.
Students from the Asian
American Greek Interest Group
performed a skit about the Legend
of the Bamboo, a traditional
Vietnamese story about how the
devil ruled the countryside and
how people working the land grew
bamboo to reclaim the land.
"We wanted to do something
cultural but funny as well," said
skit coordinator Ninh Huynh.
The show also displayed
American culture with a modem
fashion show and the performance
of three songs from the musical
"Grease."
Students from Vietnamese orga-
nizations at other Florida universi-
ties attended the festival as well.
"It's a good way to get
Vietnamese students together to
learn about the culture,".USF stu-
dent Tien Nguyen said.
Master of ceremonies and VSO
member Kim Pham said students
dedicated a lot of time and effort
in organizing this show for the
biggest Vietnamese holiday of the
year. Dinner alone took four days
to prepare.
"We put in a lot of effort, but you
only get this once a year," Pham
said. "It's something we take great
pride in."
UF senior Johnny Dang said that
compared to past VSO Tet celebra-
tions, this show, which included
more English, was the best.
"Every year it just gets better
and better," he said.

Neglect of
majority is
part of SG
R recently, the'Alligator has been
filled with stories regarding
student Government. Naturally,
this is a result of the current heated
campaign, but the matter raises an in-
teresting issue. Where is the SG news
during the rest bf the year? Where are
the articles on SG's latest contribution
to the student body, whether it be bet-
ter food at Gator Dining, increased
Web access or, perhaps, a refund of
some fees?
The truth is, stories about SG are
absent because there is no news to re-
port. SG members rest on their laurels
all year, playing at government and
patting themselves on the back while
waiting for the election. When the
election comes around, they pull out
their mighty rhetoric regarding their
concern for "the issues" and desire to
work for the- average student. Sadly,
these words aren't put into action.
The closest a party has come to atten-
tion-grabbing legislation is the Impact
Scott Gilton Party's push for
Speaking Out online voting.
In this case, it
seems SG thinks
very little of the student body's intel-
ligence. Otherwise, why would they
attempt to garner glory by proposing
online voting when it should've been
implemented back in 2002? If we can
register for a class online, there is no
reason we shouldn't be able to vote
online. But they wait until election
time to raise the issue, so it will appear
they are working hard for us.
Without a doubt, these statements
will raise hackles in SG. Naturally, the
members of SG would take offense to
the achievements they have wrought
within the past year being cast aside
in this manner. And while it is true
they made some steps forward for the
student body in the past, they haven't
done nearly enough considering what
they have to work with: SG has an an-
nual budget in excess of $10 million.
SG needs to start making things
happen for the whole of the student
body. While some may argue that SG
contributes to this campus by provid-
ing funds for student organizations,
this is no excuse for neglecting the
majority. It is unjust to insist that stu-
dents who pay what could be defined
as taxes every semester to SG become
involved in extracurricular activities in
order to benefit from SG expenditures.
An analogy to this would be never
repairing the roads in Gainesville, and
instead, demanding that the residents
of this town participate in the local
theater troupe in order to benefit from
their payment to their government.
It is time for the student body to in-:
sist that our SG ultimately represents
all of us, not just special interests. It is.
time to demonstrate through e-mail,
letters or even personal meetings that
SG must do something for all of us.
Look to become involved. .Try to
get on an SG committee. Most impor-
tantly, make your presence known to
our representatives and show them
they must endorse the students over
the status quo. It's the least we can do
for ourselves and our money.

tial caiididate.
Viewpoints
SG only works
A s the student body finds itself at
the threshold of another Student
Government campaign season, some
will follow the discourse with interest, others
will try to filter out any mention of the cam-
paigns and the majority of you will watch from
the sidelines with varying degrees of concern,
amusement, disgust, dismay or enthusiasm.
Most students understand the importance
of the issues and agree they deserve attention
- issues such as impending tuition hikes, ques-
tions of campus culture, the goal to be a Top 10

Speaking Out issues are so important,
why are you willing to
watch from the stands and not be involved?
Government is not a spectator sport or, ef-
fective government is not. It is too easy for us to
fall into the trap of believing the institutions sur-
rounding us are ineffective, overly bureaucratic
and corrupt, and it is difficult to get up in the
morning, roll up one's sleeves and dig into the
mire to try and make our world better. Whether
we are talking about student, city, county, state
or federal government, it is too easy to talk
about "them," "those people" or "The Man."

Editorial
In your hands
Students must vote to
bring about SG change
Imagine you stayed up late writing a massive paper. You
knew it was going to count for 20 percent of your final grade,
but you were too busy rearranging your iTunes folders to get
it started.
You save what you have on a disk and hustle to the bus
stop only to find 30 other students waiting there without a bus.
Two or three buses go by without stopping, the students inside
crammed in well past the white line, while you stand there in
the blazing heat.
Finally, you get on campus, but your time is running short.
You can't make those revisions you wanted, but you think
you can duck into the CIRCA lab and print it out in time.
Unfortunately, the line extends out the door. Your class period
begins right as you finally sit down at a computer, though you
only even got that far because you sucked it up and tried to use
a Mac for once. You might even have made it in time if your pro-
fessor would have let you into the classroom late, but everyone
from that earlier line reconvened in front of the printer.
At UF, most students don't have to imagine scenarios like
this. They live them every day.
The point is, students can take it upon themselves to fix these
and other common student issues. In fact, there is an entire or-
ganization based upon this concept: Student Government.
Unfortunately, students are not participating in SG, and they
are paying for it. Because students don't vote and don't work
to see that representative parties get elected, the interests of the
average member of the student body are not taken into account.
The elite few determine how the millions of student dollars are
spent, and they make those decisions based on what will fur-
ther their own interests.
Students: you do not have to take this quietly. There is some-
thing you can do about it, and it is very simple:
Get out there and vote.
Even better, participate yourself.
If you sit around and complain that SG always is the same,
always is controlled by the same people and never can be differ-
ent, you're just helping to keep the status quo in place.
The numbers are clear: SG elections are won and lost by a
small percentage of the student body, while the vast majority sit
at home. If even a-fraction of these students took the 10 minutes
out of their day to vote, they could change the whole landscape
of SG.
Do you think the same old people run the university every
semester? Vote for someone else.
Do you think SG spends your money on student organiza-
tions that no one cares about but their members? Letthem know
that you want it spent on issues that affect the average student.
Instead of bands that you don't want to see, events you don't
want to attend and free rides for SG members to resume-build-
ing conferences, wouldn't you like to see improvements to bus
routes, expansion of CIRCA labs, and credit card use in the Reitz
Union?
Even simpler complaints can be met if students work to in-
stall officials who will listen to them.
Have you ever had a hold on your registration because you
owed $1.16 for copies? You can elect representatives that will
use SG funding to allow free copies.
Or maybe you think SG takes too much of students' money
in the first place. If so, demand candidates who will call for re-
funds of the surplus perhaps in the form of tuition credit.
If you can think of these and all of the other ways in which
your money could be better spent by SG, then you can take the
time out to work toward accomplishing them.
The SG system is set up to help you, but you have to partici-
pate for your concerns to be heard.

'Axis of evil' looks to get two additions
relatively few Americans will ever even vacation
abroad, let alone learn the particular and often
peculiar politics in each region of the world. Many
simply don't have the time, will or education to grasp
global politics and their implications. To these people,
even trying to understand it can feel like falling into a
well.
Thankfully, to help us along, we have our president,
George W. Bush. No, that's not really a joke.
One of the president's most important duties is to
present global politics, and our position within them, in
a framework that can be easily understood and digested
by most Americans. Bush is following in former president
Reagan's footsteps by presenting this framework as a duel
between two opposing teams. For years, the game was
between capitalism and communism.
Now, Bush has framed the contest as between freedom
and tyranny good and evil.
Although this framework makes politics feel more fa-
miliar, like a sporting match, it just doesn't seem adequate
to describe international politics today. To me, it seems
increasingly hard to discern friend from foe one side
from the other.
Radical Islamic states are of course the obvious en-
emies, but they might not be the most dangerous.
Russia is one player in global politics that is confound-
ing. Bush repeatedly has told us Russia is a friend in the
war on terror, but Russian President Vladimir Putin reiter-
ated his commitment on Friday to helping Iran with its
nuclear program.
Putin says he is convinced Iran does not intend to de-
velop atomic weapons. He is lying.
Why wouldn't Iran make a nuclear weapon? With a
nuke, Iran would be treated with kid gloves like North
Korea. Without one, it can be rolled over like Iraq. The
choice is clear. What isn't so clear is why Russia is help-
ing Iran.
Putin has been consolidating his power for some time
now. He has cancelled elections for provincial governors,
increased the state's control over
the television networks and used
the courts to prosecute political
opponents.
He could be using a relation-
ship with Iran as a threat against
Jason Levitt Washington interference. Putin's
The Watchtower threat is that Iran could become
letters@allitor.or a nuclear power quickly if Bush
wants to mess with his rise and
consolidation of power.
Putin also is helping another so-called friend of
America China. According to a recent New York Times
article, Russia is selling a lot of military equipment to
China. China is using Russia's help to expand its military
and gain power in the region.
Porter J. Goss, U.S. director of central intelligence,
said to the Senate Armed Services Committee, "Beijing's
military modernization and military buildup could tilt the
balance of power in the Taiwan Strait. Improved Chinese
capabilities threaten U.S. forces in the region."
Soon after Goss' strong words came an unprecedented
joint statement from the United States and Japan concern-
ing Taiwan.
The administration definitely is sending a strong mes-
sage to China, but will it be effective? America may find it
tough to deal firmly with China in the long term, consid-
ering the United States had a trade deficit with China of
$162 billion in 2004. According to MSNBC, it is the largest
trade imbalance ever recorded with a single country. This
means China has the United States in an extremely vulner-
able economic position.
It seems the most dangerous potential enemies are
the ones Bush is too afraid to name. Confrontations with
Russia and China seem to be becoming unavoidable, how-
ever. It looks like soon Bush or the next American presi-
dent may have to add two spokes to the "axis of evil."

Letter to the Editor
Students shouldn't stand idly by SG
Editor: Isn't it wonderful that Student
Government has devolved into a circus so
blatantly everyone can see it? It'd be fun-
ny if it weren't so sad. A bunch of Impact
supporters jump ship to the Joe Goldberg
(Gator) Party. Who's surprised?
Scan your memory banks (or the
Alligator archives), and you will recall
the absolute fiasio that Goldberg was
responsible for as Student Senate presi-
dent, which included one ugly incident in
which he pretended not-to hear notions
from Access senators. Very professional.
The frightening thing is that Goldberg
is likely to win the election. The Impact
mutiny only is the most.obvious'sign of
the back-door politics that have become
the only necessity to win an SG election.
Get the pieces lined up straight7grease the
right palms and the contest is over. The
students of UF have set the bar this low.
Pay attention, students: SG might re-
semble Alien v. Predator "No matter
who wins, we lose" but let's not be

plain but difficult to contribute. It's easy to
dismiss others' viewpoints but difficult to -
listen to one another. But we must remem-
ber the things in life which are most difficult
often are the most rewarding. Thomas
Edison said, "Opportunity is missed by
most people because it is dressed in overalls
and looks like work." For us to build a better
campus and community, we can't have the
majority of students sitting on the sidelines.
Should you follow the elections? Yes, but
why read the headlines when you could
make them? Why be content to complain
about the direction of the discussion when
you could contribute yourself? You don't
need to be a candidate to have that kind of
influence either. Talk to those around you
- voice your concerns, your thoughts, your
ideas and your passions. Let's break the
mold of allowing political discourse to take
place in the form of 10-second sound bites
and pull-quotes. Let's show true leadership
- not the type that comes with position, but
the type that comes with conviction.
My hope is that, beginning with this
small SG election in Gainesville, our gen-
eration will take a stand for engagement, for
rolling up those sleeves, for getting to work,
for tackling the tough issues, for working to-
gether. This is your home. UF and the com-
munity need each one of you to contribute if
we are to realize the solutions to our many
pressing issues. Are you willing to pick up
your bat and approach the plate, or will you
sit idly by and ride the pine again?

Hudson was on trial for 2003 double homicide
HUDSON, from page 1
the house, at 1210 NE Fifth Ave.
In his testimony before the court,
resident Edward Ricks said the Buick
immediately began "rocking like some-
one was trying to bust out the win-
dows," then peeled off down the street.
Several gunshots were heard just before
the vehicle plowed into the steps of City
Commissioner Craig Lowe's porch, at
1034 NE Fifth Ave.
The driver, Adkins, had been shot in
the back of the head. Harris, with one
shot to the neck and two to the chest, lay
slumped across the Buick's center con-
sole. Police found a .38-caliber revolver
under him.
Adkins later died of his injuries.
Prosecutors said Hudson planned
to rob Harris of approximately $8,000
in cash, but Harris fought back. In the
struggle, Hudson allegedly shot Harris
three times, and a stray bullet hit Adkins
in the back of the head.
The state contested Hudson left the
scene on foot with the money and co-
caine and hitched a ride from Anthony
Anderson, an employee at the Martin
Luther King Center two blocks away
from the incident. Hudson arrived back
at Adkins' apartment just after 11 p.m.,
took a shower and dried off with a green
towel, Fleck said.
Analysis of the towel found DNA
from Hudson, Adkins, Harris and an
unknown female, investigators testified.
During closing arguments, Bemstein
pointed out that the state's DNA experts
were unable to determine what type of
body fluid from which the DNA,which
isn't contained only in
blood, had come.
According to Selena
Local Hudson, she and her hus-
CO c r band were in the Orlando
area on the day of the
killings, Bernstein said,
and the fact that Hudson's DNA was
found on the towel does not indicate
otherwise.
"What the green towel proves is that it
came in contact with those four people at
some time," Bernstein said. "Remember,
DNA goes back to dinosaurs it can last
that long and we know that four'people
have DNA on that towel, and that there
were only three at the scene. Who's the
odd man out?"
The "odd man out" may be a woman
named JadquelynJennings, 22.
During her testimony Wednesday,
Jennings said she gave Hudson a ride
from Gainesville to Lake Wales the day
after the murders.
But Jennings, a five-time felon, has
a propensity to lie, and her testimony
should not be trusted, Bernstein said.
Other inconsistencies in the state's
case arose.
Crime scene photographs show the
Buick's backseat splattered with blood
on the driver's side. But based on the
lack of blood on the passenger's side,
someone must have been sitting there,
and he or she should haVe been equally
covered in blood, said Marc Trahan,
Gainesville Police crime scene investi-
gator.
No forensic evidence from either vic-
tim or Hudson was found in Anderson's
car.
For now, both the state and the de-
fense are awaiting the third round of the
trial, tentatively scheduled for March.
"The bottom line is, you still have
two people who were killed, and we
believe the person responsible for the
deaths should be held accountable," said
Spencer Mann, spokesman for the State
Attorney's Office.
Houses orthopaedics
BONESHOP, from page 1
College of Medicine, said patients in need of or-
thopaedic care no longer have to travel between
many specialized offices in Gainesville.
"We're able to treat all aspects of orthopaedic
disease under one roof," he said.
State Sen. Rod Smith called the institute one of
the finest in Florida.
"My pledge to you is that we, the legislature
of Florida, will continue funding centers of excel-
lence," Smith said at the ceremony.
Also during the opening ceremony, William
Anspach Jr. was awarded the Distinguished
Achievement Award, which has only been given
to 11 other UF alumni.
Anspach was a practicing orthopaedic surgeon
who, whenever confronted with a lack of tools,
built his own.
"We didn't make them to make a buck,"
Anspach said. "We built them to help the patient."
In 1978, Anspach founded The Anspach Effort
Inc., which is still building medical equipment.
Anspach holds 20 patents for surgical tools that
make surgery safer and more efficient.

Free throws lead to UF defeat at LSU
By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
bapp@alligator.org
BATON ROUGE, La. As junior forward
vlatt Walsh laid on the floor wincing, a mixture
)f boos and cheers emanated from the hostile Pete
viaravich Assembly Center crowd. >
With UF down by 2 and just 37 seconds re- O
naining, Walsh attempted -to hustle his team back
rom a one-time 10-point deficit, chasing down a
ong rebound.
That's as close as UF (16-7, 8-4 Southeastemrn
Conference) came to stealing a SEC road vic-
.ory before falling to Louisiana State 77-73 on
Saturday.
"I'm anxious to see how a guy like
David Lee gets 14 shots, 21 points O
and he gets to the free-throw line
three times."
Billy Donovan
UF basketball coach
A head-on collision with charging LSU guard
Darrel Mitchell sent Walsh to the hardwood and
che ball to the Tigers. And as the Gators desperate- E
ty fouled, the Tigers made Walsh's bodily martyr-
ization in vain, capping a 29-15 free-throw-points M0
advantage in the waning seconds.
"I don't know what caught me in the face,"
3aid Walsh, who finished with 17 points. "But
.ny neck snapped back, and I got pummeled in
:he head."
That's a familiar feeling for the victims of the o
?hygical Tigers (15-8, 8-4 SEC).
A?6-foot-9 and 310 pounds, LSU freshman
~-r Glen Davis joined sophomore Brandon 0)
3ass in muscling his way to the free-throw line.
"It's difficult because they're two big guys, and
they'ree coming straight ahead, full speed every
time," UF freshman Corey Brewer said.
Bass scored a game-high 27 points on 8-for-10
shooting and burned the Gators at the line, mak--
ng 10 of 13 free throws.
Davis scored five of his 11 from the stripe.

Columnist, Miami coach say UF-Miami rivalry
UF short
in SEC
By BRIAN STEELE
Alligator Writer
Round one is over and no knock-
out punch was thrown.
And though the UF swimming
and diving teams came up short
in their quest for a Southeastern
Conference championship, both
know their season is far from over.
Unable to take home the SEC
crown, the Gators are still standing
strong after a fierce fight. The men
came within 28 points of nine-time
defending champion Auburn with
801.5 total points.
On the other side, the women
finished the meet in third place
with 659 total points. Auburn took
the crown again, for the third con-
secutive year, with Georgia a close
second. With both teams showing
signs of improvement, Coach Gregg
Troy knows how
close his teams
were and is look-
ing forward to a
second chance.
"Our focus is
always the end
of the year," Troy
said. "There's
Troy always a level of
disappointment, but it's not the end
of the season. It was a goal, but cer-
tainly not the only goal."
Although the Gators may not
have achieved the desired results,
they still continued on one sig-
nificant trend: breaking conference
record times. And if you're junior

is 'good baseball'
It seems that too often in sports,
games don't live up to their
hype. Most Super Bowls are
)oring, and the media hypes that
;ame up for two weeks 24/7,
nonetheless.
Then you have Miami-UF base-
)all. I really didn't expect this series
:o be as exciting as it was. It's early
n the year, so the series essentially
neans nothing.
Try telling that to the series-re-
:ord 13,978 fans that attended the
amqn.
Boy, did
they get a
treat., All
three games
were excit-
ing, even
lan Fisher with one
Extra lannings being a 2-1
iflsher@alligator.org pitcher 's
duel and
another
appearing to be a blowout before
Miami made it respectable.
"We could've won any of the
three games just like they won two
out of three," Miami coach Jim
Morris said. "They've been close
games.
"That seems the way it is against
the Gators, but that's good base-
ball."
It was great baseball excit-
ing .baseball. Parts were sloppy
(13 Miami walks and five Miami
wild pitches on Sunday) and parts
were impressive (sophomore Matt
LaPorta's three home runs in three
games).
While neither coach would say
if they'd like to see each other in the
postseason, any baseball fan would.
Miami ended TUF's champion-
ship hopes the past three seasons,
but the Gators are better this year.
That's not my assessment. I have no
idea, and it's too early in the season.
That's Morris' opinion.
He said the Gators are better
than they were last season, despite
losing key players like pitcher Justin
Hoyman and hitters Ben Harrison
and C.J. Smith.
Should the baseball gods align
everything right, UF will face Miami
again in the postseason. If that's the
case, one Gators player has an idea
of how the game will unravel.
"It's going to be a war like you
saw the last three games," catcher
Brian Jeroloman said. "We're up 12-
2, and they come back and almost tie
up the game."
It's good baseball when a game
seems so far out of reach that fans
leave, then only two innings later,

McMahon said. "You've got to give our oppo-
sition credit. They swung the bats to get back
in the game."
During the bottom of the fourth inning,
OutKast's "The Way You Move" had UF
players smiling and moving with the beat in
the dugout. The Hurricanes moved, too, (8-2)
scoring five runs in the fifth and three more
runs in the sixth to narrow the gap to 12-10.
"I [tried] not to think 'here we go again,'
but I respect that they could come back," UF
right fielder Brian Leclerc said. "We trust our
pitching; we have good arms." Leclerc went
3 for 5 with one RBI in the game and 5 for 12
with three RBI in the series.
UF first baseman Matt LaPorta answered
in the sixth inning, belting a two-run homer
over the left-field bleachers.
"I knew I had to hit because I struck out
twice," LaPorta said. "Coach told me not to
worry about it, put them in the past. He told

the Tigers more than doubled UF's at-

the difference.
"I'm anxious to see how a guy like

Donovan said. "And a guy like Brandon
Bass gets to the line 13 times."
But Donovan stressed that he wasn't
criticizing the officials.
"I'm not passing judgment because
sometimes after a loss, you can get emo-
tional and say things the next day you'll
regret," Donovan said.
Even with the free-throw disparity, UF
kept close as Lee scored at will inside.
After LSU claimed a 6-pointlead on a 9-
0 first-half-closing run, Lee scored 11 of his
team-high 21 points in the second quarter.
"The whole game there, I really felt
like I was in a rhythm on both ends of the
floor," Lee said. "So it's frustrating being

But with UF trailing by 3, Roberson
missed one of two foul. shots with 9.8
seconds left, and the Tigers rode their foul
shots to victory,.
"I would've bet my life that Peep is go-
ing to make that free thircv.," Walsh said.
"When Peep is on the line, I don't even
think about the fact that he could miss."
Donovan, however, didn't fault
Roberson and remained positive about
the offense-savvy Gators to fight through
shooting slumps.:
"Anthony Roberson has had-so many
big performance games," Donovan said.
"If he doesn't shoot as good as he normally
does, you till haei. to fund \, a, to win.
"So to me it was an encouraging sign
that we were still in a position toclose it
out."
Senior right-hander Connor Falkenbach
pitched 1.2 innings in relief to close the game.
"They're a great team. We're going to be
facing great teams all year,
so this is a good experience
for us," Falkenbach said.

Ryan Lochte,. capturing
another American and U.S.
Open record. Lochte. broke
the 200-yard backstroke re-
cord with a time of 1.3S.2..
nearly a second below the old
record.
Going into the event,
Lochte said he was not ex-
pecting to break the record.
:"I just wanted to go about-
1:40 and get close to the re-
cord," Lochte said. "I touched
the wall and looked up and it
-said 1:38. I couldn't believe it.
I just went out there and raced
tough."
Lochte was not the only
one to break a record Saturday-
night. In the last event of the

relay, Lochte led off with
fre-rhmen Darian Townsend
and Daniel Penniman to fol-
low and senior Adam Sioui

SEC-record time of 2:50.68.
"Especially with the sprint
relays, you just put your head
down and go as fast as you
can," Sioui said. "I love hav-
ing the pressure at the end,
being the last leg. We wanted
to break the school record; we
didn't really know what the
SEC record was. We knew
Auburn was a good team, but

to lose it and haven't lost one

UF ROUNDUP
Vanderbilt stands firm, stifles Gators comeback
The UF women's basketball team
lagged behind from the start and
never came back, falling to No. 22
Vanderbilt 76-69 on Sunday. -
It seems in each loss, UF (14-11,
5-7 SEC) has had chances to win late,
and this game was no exception.
In the second half, the
Commodores (19-6, 8-4 SEC) were
up by as much as 14 before the
Ga,-s mounted a run. After a steal,
UF junior Sarah Lowe's three-point
play off a layup made. the score 62-
59 with 5:11 on the clock.
UF had another chance when
Lowe hit two more free throws with
58 seconds remaining. But coming
up the floor and working the shot
clock, Vanderbilt forward Carla
Thomas appeared to be blocked
clean by UF senior guard Tamia
Williams. The officials disagreed,
and Vanderbilt sealed the victory
with free throws.
Coach Carolyn Peck, who cred-
ited Williams and senior forward
Tashia Morehead for "putting every-
thing on the floor," said she thought
the Gators could pull out a win.
"I thought we had put ourselves
back in a position to make this a
ballgame," Peck said. "Then Carla
Thomas comes down with two sec-
onds left to go and.we foul her."
Morehead and Williams both
played well despite ailments.
Morehead, who
scored 11 points,
was hit in the
throat early in
the second half.
Williams had a
sore right foot but
hit five 3-pointers'
to lead UF with
Williams 22 points.
The Gators are now in a dan-
gerous position as they head into
their final games against No. 16
Georgia at home on Thursday
and No. 1 LSU on Sunday. UF
will likely need to at least split
the games for a shot at the NCAA
Tournament.
While not calling Thursday's
game a 'must win', Peck said UF
still has chances to write an NCAA
Tournament resume.
"I feel like we have to win on
Thursday because we have to prove
to ourselves that we can go out and
finish the deal and play hard," Peck
said. "That's the most important
thing. Right now there are plenty
of games to be played ... and I'm
not going to put that pressure on
this team."
MICHAEL MAURINO
GYMNASTICS WINS: If versatility is
what the Gators wanted to exhibit,
then the message was heard loud
and clear.
Using routines from ten different
gymnasts, No. 4 UF (9-2, 4-1 SEC)
defeated No. 11 Arkansas (5-4, 2-3
SEC) 196.075-195.575 on Friday
night in Fayetteville.
The Gators have won five con-
secutive meets since falling to LSU
in mid-January.
"I think it was a great meet,"
Coach Rhonda Faehn said.
"Especially considering the circum-
stances they encountered, lineup
changes, but they all came out and
did a phenomenal job."
UF is now 6-0 against the
Razorbacks since Arkansas' gym-
nastics program joined the SEC
three seasons ago.
Leading the way for the Gators
was sophomore Katie Rue, who
won her first col-
legiate all-around
title with a score
of 39.175.
Rue wasn't
inserted into the'
all-around until
the warm-up pe-
'riod before UF's
Rue first event.
"She's very strong mentally,"
Faehn said. "Katie stepped up and"
did a phenomenal job all the way
around. I was very proud of her per-
formance and calm attitude."
Rue'- entry into the all-around
came at the expense of sophomore
Savannah Evans, who sat out both
uneven bars and balance beam after
battling the flu-all week.
She made the most of her rou-
tines, however, earning her first

prowess as the nation's No. 1 vault
squad, tallying a high score of 49.30
on the event.

a big splash in her return to the un-

LaPorta hit three home runs in the series, including one on Sunday to give the Gators two insurance runs. EUF TOOK A MIAMI SERIES FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 1996. By TIM CASEY Alligator Writer -tcasey@alligator.org What started bad for UF ended much better. The Gators took two of three games in their weekend series against Miami after losing on Friday. All three games in the series were close, and the first two concluded dramatically. On Sunday, UF sent the No. 2 Hurricanes back to Coral Gables with a 14-11 defeat. UF lost to Miami on Friday 9-7, but won 2-1 in 11 innings on Saturday. A record 13,978 fans, the most for a three-game series in UF history, witnessed the in-state rivahy. Coach Pat McMahon talks a lot about struggling, constant battling and strategy. The Gators' loss Friday night played a major role in the subsequent victories. "One of our goals in a three-game series is to get into their bullpen in the first game," McMahon said. "You get to see pitchers, and as the pitchers unfold, you can stretch that so they can't pitch as long. That was a huge part for us to be successful today. "They're a great team. We're going to be facing great teams all year,.so this is a good experience for us." Connor Falkenbach UF pitcher "We addressed that Friday, and even in the loss Friday, it helped us Saturday and today," he said. "It was very important to put yourself i position to take a series, and this was the second series we've taken this year." The No. 15 Gators (5-2) led 12-2 after four innings, with every player having a hit or a walk.

WINSLOW Alligator Writer mwinslow@alligator.org For the second time in three months, a jury was unable to reach a verdict in the trial of Willie Hudson, who is accused of the July 2003 first-degree murders of John Adkins and Kevin Harris. After more than seven hours of deliberation, Judge Mary Day Coker read a statement prepared by the jury foreperson. "'We respectfully cometo you with heavy hearts to say we are unable to reach a unanimous verdict,"' Coker read. "'We are a very divided jury about the evidence presented to us."' Family members and friends waded through about 13 hours of uncertainty Friday. N Members of the Vietnamese Student Organization entertain the captive 4 audience with a lion dance at a Tet celebration held in the Reitz Union on Saturday. See story, pg. 4. "I just want it to be over with," an unidentified member of Adkins' family said to friends as she exited the courthouse minutes after the mistrial was armiouced. Although bothdefenseattorney Stephen B e r ns t e i n and state p r o s e c u to r Geoffrey Fleck expressed frusHusdoa tration after the decision, neither attorney said he was completely surprised by the result of the three-day trial. "It's a difficult case," Fleck said. "The evidence is not perfect, and it happened once before, so I can't say it came as a complete surprise." Bernstein; whose defense was based largely on an alibi provided by Hudson's wife, Selena, said conflicting evidence presented to the jury may have hampered the trial. "It's a very important issue that the community needs a resolution on," Bernstein said.

"Seeing them here reminds you of who you are doing this for." Family Day, held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., featured am assortment of carnival games campus organizations set up. Animal exhibits, clowns and face-painting booths were just a few festivities open to the public. Dave Kanarek, Dance Marathon co-operations chairman, has a more personal conrnection to the event.

Friday night, Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity held its annual Poker All Night Long philanthropy. The event raised about $3,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Nearly 80 students paid between $10 and $25 to enter the poker competition, which lasted until about 2 a.m. A video game tournament was held for those who weren't playing poker. "This event has a lot of things going on to make it fun for everyone," said Danny Miller, the fraternity's president. UF graduate student Jonathan Shivers entered the poker competition under the "open division," which allowed non-Greek students the opportunity to participate. He said he decided to play because he "figured it would be a fun time and to be here for a good cause." Shivers only made it through the first few hands in the competition. "The girls were the ones who were kicking butt out there," he said. Another example of weekend philanthropy, the Pigskins and Pigtails football game, was organized by Delta Tau Delta fraternity.

4, ALLIGATOR E MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2005 STUDENT ACTIVISM Video game tournament benefits returning soldiers N THE ARMY ROTC-SPONSORED EVENT RAISED $130. By NEIL HUGHES Alligator Writer nhughes@alligator.org Gainesville residents repeatedly killed each other Saturday, all for a good cause.UF Army ROTC sponsored its first-ever Halo 2 tournament to raise money for wounded soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Halo 2 is a first-person shooter video game pitting humanity against invading alien races. The $130 raised will support the Wounded Warrior Project's backpack program, said event organizer Jonathan Oblon. Each backpack given to returning soldiers is stocked with comfort items such as toiletries. Eight teams of two players participated in the double-elimination tournament on two XBox consoles hooked up to 32-inch projectors. Blockbuster Video donated the equipment, Oblon said. Teams were required' to pay a $10 entry fee, but Oblon said many of the teams voluntarily paid $20, which allowed the fudraiser to buy two backpacks instead of one. "This is an opportunity to have fun, raise money and see some of the different things we do up here," Oblon said. "Anyone who asks about [Van Fleet] thinks it's just dorms." Two high school students ended up surviving -undefeated, taking home the grand prize. John Van, from Buchholz High School, and Ben Johnson, from P.K. Yonge High School, made up the "Gainesville Dream Team." They defeated Army ROTC members Alex Holt and John Gillette of "Team America," 37 kills to 26. Van, who said he has a level-23 skill ranking in Halo 2 on Microsoft's Internet gaming service XBox Live, said he heard about the tournament Saturday morning, and was asked by a friend to fill in. The victors and runners-up took home plaques donated by the UF Trophy Shop which featured a picture of Master Chief, the game's main character, in the heat of battle. Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity also competed in the event under the name "Buttcheeks," as well as the College Republicans, who were represented by the only two females in the tournament. Jackie Angelo and Stephanie Pinkovsky were eliminated in the second round, but Angelo said she was more familiar with the original Halo and was unfamiliar with changes made in Halo 2, such as a weaker melee attack and the ability to dual-wield weapons. Vietnamese festival welcomes the Year of the Rooster Tricia Coyne / Alligator Staff Members of the Vietnamese Student Organization entertain the audience with a lion dance at a Tet celebration held in the Reitz Union on Saturday. By JESSICA RIFFEL Alligator Contributing Writer Vietnamese traditions met Western culture in the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom on Saturday night. More than 600 people celebrated the Vietnamese New Year, Tet, at the Vietnamese Student Organization's annual festival. Ushering in Multicultural the Year of the Rooster, the celebration began with a traditional Tet dinner, which included sweet rice cakes, egg rolls and Vietnamese chicken salad. After dinner, VSO put on a show filled with songs, dances, fashion shows and a skit. "We try to spread the Vietnamese culture through this event," said VSO President Quang Duong. The traditional part of the show included a lion dance and a fashion show of customary Vietnamese outfits called ao dai. Li xi, money in red envelopes given to children for Tet, was passed out during intermission. Students from the Asian American Greek Interest Group performed a skit about the Legend of the Bamboo, a traditional Vietnamese story about how the devil ruled the countryside and how people working the land grew bamboo to reclaim the land. "We wanted to do something cultural but funny as well," said skit coordinator Ninh Huynh. The show also displayed American culture with a modern fashion show and the performance of three songs from the musical "Grease." Students from Vietnamese organizations at other Florida universities attended the festival as well. -"It's a good way to get Vietnamese students together to learn about the culture," USF student Tien Nguyen said. Master of ceremonies and VSO member Kim Pham said students dedicated a lot of time and effort in organizing this show for the biggest Vietnamese holiday of the year. Dinner alone took four days to prepare. "We put in a lot of effort, but you only get this once a year," Pham said. "It's something we take great pride in." UF senior Johnny Dang said that compared to past VSO Tet celebrations, this show, which included more English, was the best. "Every year it just gets better and better," he said.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 5 Neglect of majority is part of SG recently, the'Alligator has been filled with stories regarding tudent Government. Naturally, this is a result of the current heated campaign, but the matter raises an interesting issue. Where is the SG news during the rest bf the year? Where are the articles on SG's latest contribution to the student body, whether it be better food at Gator Dining, increased Web access or, perhaps, a refrmd of some fees? The truth is, stories about SG are absent because there is no news to report. SG members rest on their laurels all year, playing at government and patting themselves on the back while waiting for the election. When the election comes around, they pull out their mighty rhetoric regarding their concern for "the issues" and desire to work for the average student. Sadly, these words aren't put into action. The closest a party has come to attention-grabbing legislati on is the Inpact Scott Gilton Party's push for Speaking Out online voting. In this case, it seems SG thinks very little of the student body's intelligence. Otherwise, why would they attempt to garner glory by proposing online voting when it should've been implemented back in 2002? If we can register for a class online, there is no reason we shouldn't be able to vote online. But they wait until election time to raise the issue, so it will appear they are working hard for us. Without a doubt, these statements will raise hackles in SG. Naturally, the members of SG would take offense to the achievements they have wrought within the past year being cast aside in this manner. And while it is true they made some steps forward for the student body in the past, they haven't done nearly enough considering what they have to work with: SG has an annual budget in excess of $10 million. SG needs to start making things happen for the whole of the student body. While some may argue that SG contributes to this campus by providing funds for student organizations, this is no excuse for neglecting the majority. It is unjust to insist that students who pay what could be defined as taxes every semester to SG become involved in extracurricular activities in order to benefit from SG expenditures. An analogy to this would be never repairing the roads in Gainesville, and instead, demanding that the residents of this town participate in the local theater troupe in order to benefit from their payment to their government. It is time for the student body to insist that our SG ultimately represents all of us, not just special interests. It is time to demonstrate through e-mail, letters or even personal meetings that SG must do something for all of us. Look to become involved. Try to get on an SG committee. Most importantly, make your presence known to our representatives and show them they must endorse the students over the status quo. It's the least we can do for ourselves and our money. Scott Gilton is aformmer SG presidential candidate. ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/opinions SG only works s the student body finds itself at the threshold of another Student Government campaign season, some will follow the discourse with interest, others will try to filter out any mention of the campaigns and the majority of you will watch from the sidelines with varying degrees of concern, amusement, disgust, dismay or enthusiasm. Most students understand the importance of the issues and agree they deserve attention -issues such as impending tuition hikes, questions of campus culture, the goal to be a Top 10 public research institution and the allocation of a few zillion dollars of Activity & Service Fees, for students if they take part Jess Johnson to name a few. If these Speaking Out issues are so important, why are you willing to watch from the stands and not be involved? Government is not a spectator sport -or, effective govemment is not. It is too easy for us to fall into the trap of believing the institutions surrounding us are ineffective, overly bureaucratic and corrupt, and it is difficult to get up in the morning, roll up one's sleeves and dig into the mire to try and make our world better. Whether we are talking about student, city, county, state or federal government, it is too easy to talk about "them," "those people" or "The Man." The secret to success in Student Government elections is revealed by seasoned political analyst Andy Marlette. Aren't we all armchair quarterbacks? Whether we are talking about our representatives in govenment or our favorite ball coach, we think we know better than those who are actually in the hot seat. "Coach, how could you call the screen again?" we ask. Fonner Gator baseball coach Andy Lopez once said the further you are from a position of leadership, the smarter you become. Or, at least, you think yourself smarter. But to become engaged, to become active -now that takes work. To change the "them" to "we," to take ownership of our school and our community, that's difficult. It's easy to comSEE JOHNSON, PAGE 7 0 Former treasurer candidate Ben Mattison urges students to ensure that SG doesn't turn out like Alien v. Predator.

6, ALLIGATOR I MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2005 Editorial n your hands Students must vote to bring about SG change Imagine you stayed up late writing a massive paper. You knew it was going to count for 20 percent of your final grade, but you were too busy rearranging your iTunes folders to get it started. You save what you have on a disk and hustle to the bu's stop only to find 30 other students waiting there without a bus. Two or three buses go by without stopping, the students inside crammed in well past the white line, while you stand there in the blazing heat. Finally, you get on campus, but your time is running short. You can't make those revisions you wanted, but you think you can duck into the CIRCA lab and print it out in time. Unfortunately, the line extends out the door. Your class period begins right as you finally sit down at a computer, though you only even got that far because you sucked it up and tried to use a Mac for once. You might even have made it in time if your professor would have let you into the classroom late, but everyone from that earlier line reconvened in front of the printer. At UF, most students don't have to imagine scenarios like this. They live them every day. The point is, students can take it upon themselves to fix these and other common student issues. In fact, there is an entire organization based upon this concept: Student Government. Unfortunately, students are not participating in SG, and they are paying for it. Because students don't vote and don't work to see that representative parties get elected, the interests of the average member of the student body are not taken into account. The elite few determine how the millions of student dollars are spent, and they make those decisions based on what will further their own interests. Students: you do not have to take this quietly. There is something you can do about it, and it is very simple: Get out there and vote. Even better, participate yourself. If you sit around and complain that SG always is the same, always is controlled by the same people and never can be different, you're just helping to keep the status quo in place. The ntunbers are clear: SG elections are won and lost by a small percentage of the student body, while the vast majority sit at home. If even a-fraction of these students took the 10 minutes out of their day to vote, they could change the whole landscape of SG. Do you think the same old people run the university every semester? Vote for someone else. Do you think SG spends your money on student organizations that no one cares about but their members? Let them know that you want it spent on issues that affect the average student. Instead of bands that you don't want to see, events you don't want to attend and free rides for SG members to resume-building conferences, wouldn't you like to see improvements to bus routes, expansion of CIRCA labs, and credit card use in the Reitz Union? Even simpler complaints can be met if students work to install officials who will listen to them. Have you ever had a hold on your registration because you owed $1.16 for copies? You can elect representatives that will use SG funding to allow free copies. .Or maybe you think SG takes too much of students' money in the first place. If so, demand candidates who will call for refunds of the surplus -perhaps in the form of tuition credit. If you can think of these and all of the other ways in which your money could be better spent by SG, then you can take the time out to work toward accomplishing them. The SG system is set up to help you, but you have to participate for your concerns to be heard. alligator Dwayne Robinson EDITOR Mike Girnignani MANAGING EDITOR Matt Sanchez OPINIONS EDITOR Lauren Flanagan Diana Middleton Craig Singleton EDITORIAL BOARD The Alligator encourages comments trom readers.

Opinions Y Column 'Axis of evil' looks to get two additions R elatively few Americans will ever even vacation abroad, let alone learn the particular and often peculiar politics in each region of the world. Many simply don't have the time, will or education to grasp global politics and their implications. To these people, even trying to understand it can feel like falling into a well. Thankfully, to help us along, we have our president, George W. Bush. No, that's not really a joke. One of the president's most important duties is to present global politics, and our position within them, in a framework that can be easily understood and digested by most Americans. Bush is following in former president Reagan's footsteps by presenting this framework as a duel between two opposing teams. For years, the game was between capitalism and communism. Now, Bush has framed the contest as between freedom and tyranny -good and evil. Although this framework makes politics feel more familiar, like a sporting match, it just doesn't seem adequate to describe international politics today. To me, it seems increasingly hard to discern friend from foe -one side from the other. Radical Islamic states are of course the obvious enemies, but they might not be the most dangerous. Russia is one player in global politics that is confounding. Bush repeatedly has told us Russia is a friend in the war on terror, but Russian President Vladimir Putin reiterated his commitment on Friday to helping Iran with its nuclear program. Putin says he is convinced Iran does not intend to develop atomic weapons. He is lying. Why wouldn't Iran make a nuclear weapon? With a nuke, Iran would be treated with kid gloves like North Korea. Without one, it can be rolled over like Iraq. The choice is clear. What isn't so clear is why Russia is helping Iran. Putin has been consolidating his power for some time now. He has cancelled elections for provincial governors, Jason Levitt The Watchtower letters@alhgator.org increased the state's control over the television networks and used the courts to prosecute political opponents. He could be using a relationship with Iran as a threat against Washington interference. Putin's threat is that Iran could become a nuclear power quickly if Bush wants to mess with his rise and consolidation of power. Putin also is helping another so-called friend of America -China. According to a recent New York Times article, Russia is selling a lot of military equipment to China. China is using Russia's help to expand its military and gain power in the region. Porter J. Goss, U.S. director of central intelligence, said to the Senate Armed Services Committee, "Beijing's military modernization and military buildup could tilt the balance of power in the Taiwan Strait. Improved Chinese capabilities threaten U.S. forces in the region." Soon after Goss' strong words came an unprecedented joint statement from the United States and Japan concerning Taiwan. The administration definitely is sending a strong message to China, but will it be effective? America may find it tough to deal firmly with China in the long term, considering the United States had a trade deficit with China of $162 billion in 2004. According to MSNBC, it is the largest trade imbalance ever recorded with a single country. This means China has the United States in an extremely vulnerable economic position. It seems the most dangerous potential enemies are the ones Bush is too afraid to name. Confrontations with Russia and China seem to be becoming unavoidable, however. It looks like soon Bush or the next American president may have to add two spokes to the "axis of evil." Jason Levitt is a journalismi and political science senior. His column appears on Monday.

MvIONQAY, FEBjlJRY 21, 2005 ALLIGATOR, 7 Letter to the Editor Students shouldn't stand idly by SG Editor: Isn't it wonderful that Student Government has devolved into a circus so blatantly everyone can see it? It'd be funny if it weren't so sad. A bunch of Impact supporters jump ship to the Joe Goldberg (Gator) Party. Who's surprised? Scan your memory banks (or the Alligator archives), and you will recall the absolute fiasco that Goldberg was responsible for as Student Senate president, which included one ugly incident in which he pretended not to hear motions from Access senators. Very professional. The frightening thing is that Goldberg is likely to win the election. The Impact mutiny only is the most obvious sign of the back-door politics that have become the only necessity to win an SG election. Get the pieces lined up straight, grease the right palms and the contest is over. The students of UF have set the bar this low. Pay attention, students: SG might resemble Alien v. Predator -"No matter who wins, we lose" -but let's not be absolute pushovers. Ben Mattison 4JM JOHNSON, from page 5 plain but difficult to contribute. It's easy to dismiss others' viewpoints but difficult to listen to one another. But we must remember the things in life which are most difficult often are the most rewarding. Thomas Edison said, "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." For us to build a better campus and community, we can't have the majority of students sitting on the sidelines. Should you follow the elections? Yes, but why read the headlines when you could make them? Why be content to complain about the direction of the discussion when you could contribute yourself? You don't need to be a candidate to have that kind of influence either. Talk to those around you -voice your concerns, your thoughts, your ideas and your passions. Let's break the mold of allowing political discourse to take place in the form of 10-second sound bites and pull-quotes. Let's show true leadership -not the type that comes with position, but the type that comes with conviction. My hope is that, beginning with this small SG election in Gainesville, our generation will take a stand for engagement, for rolling up those sleeves, for getting to work, for tackling the tough issues, for working together. This is your home. UF and the community need each one of you to contribute if we are to realize the solutions to our many pressing issues. Are you willing to pick up your bat and approach the plate, or will you sit idly by and ride the pine again? Jess Johnson is aformver Student Senate president. 51 4-GRADUATION 2005 A special section commemorating the graduation of more than 6,000 students fronyhe University of Florida.

8, ALLIGATOR 0 MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2005 Hudson was on trial for 2003 double homicide 1 -| HUDSON, from page 1 the house, at 1210 NE Fifth Ave. In his testimony before the court, resident Edward Ricks said the Buick immediately began "rocking like someone was trying to bust out the wmdows," then peeled off down the street. Several gunshots were heard just before the vehicle plowed into the steps of City Commissioner Craig Lowe's porch, at 1034 NE Fifth Ave. The driver, Adkins, had been shot in the back of the head. Harris, with one shot to the neck and two to the chest, lay slumped across the Buick's center console. Police found a .38-caliber revolver under him. Adkins later died of his injuries. Prosecutors said Hudson planned to rob Harris of approximately $8,000 in cash, but Harris fought back. In the struggle, Hudson allegedly shot Harris three times, and a stray bullet hit Adkins in the back of the head. The state contested Hudson left the scene on foot with the money and cocaine and hitched a ride from Anthony Anderson, an employee at the Martin Luther King Center two blocks away from the incident. Hudson arrived back at Adkins' apartment just after 11 p.m., took a shower and dried off with a green towel, Fleck said. Analysis of the towel found DNA from Hudson, Adkins, Harris and an unknown female, investigators testified. During closing arguments, Bernstein pointed out that the state's DNA experts were unable to determine what type of body fluid from which the DNA,which isn't contained only in blood, had come. Loca I According to Selena Hudson, she and her husband were in the Orlando area on the day of the killings, Bernstein said, and the fact that Hudson's DNA was found on the towel does not indicate otherwise. "What the green towel proves is that it came in contact with those four people at some time," Bernstein said. "Remember, DNA goes back to dinosaurs -it can last that long -and we know that four'people have DNA on that towel, and that there were only three at the scene. Who's the odd man out?" The "odd man out" may be a woman named Jacquelyn Jennings, 22. During her testimony Wednesday, Jennings said she gave Hudson a ride from Gainesville to Lake Wales the day after the murders. But Jennings, a five-time felon, has a propensity to lie, and her testimony should not be trusted, Bernstein said. Other inconsistencies in the state's case arose. Crime scene photographs show the Buick's backseat splattered with blood on the driver's side. But based on the lack of blood on the passenger's side, someone must have been sitting there, and he or she should have been equally covered in blood, said Marc Trahan, Gainesville Police crime scene investigator. No forensic evidence from either victim or Hudson was found in Anderson's car. For now, both the state and the defense are awaiting the third round of the trial, tentatively scheduled for March. "The bottom line is, you still have two people who were killed, and we believe the person responsible for the deaths should be held accountable," said Spencer Mann, spokesman for the State Attorney's Office. Wednesday, February 23, 2005 Health Professions Nursing & Pharmacy (HPNP) Building Room G312 7:00 to 9:00pm In this film, the artist looks at the present day behavior that is connected to psychological trauma, genetic memory, community consciousness and other issues stemming from over 300 years of chattel slavery of Africans in the Americas and the Caribbean, and -through rituals, dolls, altars, spoken word, music, dance and visual art -offers paths to healing the mind, spirit and community Houses orthopabdics BONESHOP, from page I College of Medicine, said patients in need of orthopaedic care no longer have to travel between many specialized offices in Gainesville. "We're able to treat all aspects of orthopaedic disease under one roof," he said. State Sen. Rod Smith called the institute one of the finest in Florida. "My pledge to you is that we, the legislature of Florida, will continue funding centers of excellence," Smith said at the ceremony. Also during the opening ceremony, William Anspach Jr. was awarded the Distinguished Achievement Award, which has only been given to 11 other UF alumni. Anspach was a practicing orthopaedic surgeon who, whenever confronted with a lack of tools, built his own. "We didn't make them to make a buck,' Anspach said. "We built them to help the patient." In 1978, Anspach founded The Anspach Effort Inc., which is still building medical equipment. Anspach holds 20 patents for surgical tools that make surgery safer and more efficient.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2005 Free throws lead to UF defeat at LSU By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org BATON ROUGE, La. -As junior forward vlatt Walsh laid on the floor wincing, a mixture >f boos and cheers emanated from the hostile Pete vlaravich Assembly Center crowd. With UF down by 2 and just 37 seconds renainin, Wash attempted to hustle lisateam back romn a one-timne 10-point deficit, chaing down a ong rebound. That's ac close as U (16-7, 8-4 Southeastern Conference) came to tealing a SEC road vicory before falling to Louisiana State 77-73 on aturday. "I'm anxious to see how a guy like David Lee gets 14 shots, 21 points and he gets to the free-throw line three times." Billy Donovan UF basketball coach A head-on collision with charging LSU guard Darrel Mitchell sent Walsh to the hardwood and :he ball to the Tigers. And as the Gators desperatety fouled, the Tigers made Walsh's bodily martyrzation in vain, capping a 29-15 free-throw-points advantage in the waning seconds. "I don't know what caught me in the face," 3aid Walsh, who finished with 17 points. "But ny neck snapped back, and I got pummeled in :he head." That's a familiar feeling for the victims of the Dhy'iical Tigers (15-8, 8-4 SEC). Aa-b-foot-9 and 310 pounds; LSU freshman -:1Glen Davis joined sophomore Brandon 3ass in muscling his way to the free-throw line. "It's difficult because they're two big guys, and :hey're coming straight ahead, full speed every ame," UF freshman Corey Brewer said. Bass scored a game-high 27 points on 8-for-10 shooting and burned the Gators at the line, makng 10 of 13 free throws. Davis scored five of his 11 from the stripe. After sinking all 10 of their first-half foul shots, n.1 *0 10 En 0 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org SEE MEN'S, PAGE 15 Columnist, Miami coach say UF-Miami rivalry is 'good baseball' Boy, did It seems that too often in sports, games don't live up to their hype. Most Super Bowls are )oring, and the media hypes that 'ame up for two weeks -24/7, nonetheless. Then you have Miami-UF base>all. I really didn't expect this series :o be as exciting as it was. It's early n the year, so the series essentially neans nothing. Try telling that to the series-re:ord 13,978 fans that attended the XamQe. Boy, did they get a treat. All three games were excithag, even Ian Fisher with one Extra lannings being a 2-1 ifisher@alligator.org p itch e r 's duel and a n o t h e r appearing to be a blowout before Miami made it respectable. "We could've won any of the three games just like they won two out of three," Miami coach Jim Morris said. "They've been close games. "That seems the way it is against the Gators, but that's good baseball." It was great baseball -exciting baseball. Parts were sloppy (13 Miami walks and five Miami wild pitches on Sunday) and parts were impressive (sophomore Matt LaPorta's three home runs in three games). While neither coach would say if they'd like to see each other ih the postseason, any baseball fan would. Miami ended 'UF's championship hopes the past three seasons, but the Gators are better this year. That's not my assessment. I have no idea, and it's too early in the season. That's Morris' opinion. He said the Gators are better than they were last season, despite losing key players like pitcher Justin Hoyman and hitters Ben Harrison and C.J. Smith. Should the baseball gods align everything right, UF will face Miami again in the postseason. If that's the case, one Gators player has an idea of how the game will unravel. "It's going to be a war like you saw the last three games," catcher Brian Jeroloman said. "We're up 122, and they come back and almost tie up the game." It's good baseball when a game seems so far out of reach that fans leave, then only two innings later, SEE IANNINGS, PAGE 15 ___ t.

UF short in SEC By BRIAN STEELE Alligator writer Rotud one is over and no knockout punch was thrown. And though the UP swimming and diving teams came up short in their quest for a Southeastern Conference championship, both know their season is far from over. Unable to take home the SEC crown, the Gators are still standing strong after a fierce fight. The men came within 28 points of nine-time defending champion Auburn with 801.5 total points. On the other side, the women finished the meet in third place with 659 total points. Auburn took the crown again, for the third consecutive year, with Georgia a close second. With both teams showing signs of improvement, Coach Gregg Troy knows how close his teams were and is looking forward to a second chance. "Our focus is always the end of the year," Troy said. "There's always a level of disappointment, but it's not the end of the season. It was a goal, but certainly not the only goal." Although the Gators may not have achieved the desired results, they still continued on one significant trend: breaking conference record times.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 005 ALLIGATOR, 15 LaPorta smacks three home runs, earns 17 total bases in series BASEBALL, from page 1 McMahon said. "You've got to give our opposition credit. They swung the bats to get back in the game." During the bottom of the fourth lining, OutKast's "The Way You Move" had UF players smiling and moving with the beat in the dugout. The Hurricanes moved, too, (8-2) scoring five runs in the fifth and three more runs in the sixth to narrow the gap to 12-10. "I [tried] not to think 'here we go again,' but I respect that they could come back," UF right fielder Brian Leclerc said. "We trust our pitching; we have good arms." Leclerc went 3 for 5 with one RBI in the game and 5 for 12 with three RBI in the series. UF first baseman Matt LaPorta answered in the sixth inning, belting a two-run homer over the left-field bleachers. "I knew I had to hit because I struck out twice," LaPorta said. "Coach told me not to worry about it, put them in the past. He told me I was probably going to get two or three at-bats, and I should make them count and use whatever I had left." LaPorta was 7 for 12 in the series, with six runs, five RBI, three home runs and a double. His slugging percentage was 1.471, and he collected 17 total bases. Donovan still positive about team M EN'S, from page 14 the Tigers more than doubled UF's attempts. For Coach Billy Donovan, that was the difference. "I'm anxious to see how a guy like David Lee gets 14 shots, 21 points and he gets to the free-throw line three times," Donovan said. "And a guy like Brandon Bass gets to the line 13 times." But Donovan stressed that he wasn't criticizing the officials. "I'm not passing judgment because sometimes after a loss, you can get emotional and say things -the next day you'll regret," Donovan said. Even with the free-throw disparity, UF kept close as Lee scored at will inside. After LSU claimed a 6-point lead on a 90 first-half-closing run, Lee scored 11 of his team-high 21 points in the second quarter. "The whole game there, I really felt like I was in a rhythm on both ends of the floor," Lee said. "So it's frustrating being out the last four or five minutes of the half when they made a run." Junior guard Anthony Roberson overcame an atypical 5-for-14 shooting performance, penetrating his way to the foul line for five of his 17 points in the final minute. But with UF trailing by 3, Roberson missed one of two foul shots with 9.8 seconds left, and the Tigers rode their foul shots to victory. "I would've bet my life that Peep is going to make that free throw," Walsh said. "When Peep is on the line, I don't even think about the fact that he could miss." Donovan, however, didn't fault Roberson and remained positive about the offense-savvy Gators to fight through shooting slumps. "Anthony Roberson has had so many big performance games," Donovan said. "If he doesn't shoot as good as he normally does, you still have to find ways to win. "So to me it was an encouraging sign that we were still in a position to close it out." Senior right-hander Connor Falkenbach pitched 1.2 innings in relief to close the game. "They're a great team. We're going to be facing great teams all year, so this is a good experience for us," Falkenbach said. "We have high confidence now. We just gotta keep it rolling." Miami used six pitchers that put a combined Falkenbach 27 runners on base for UF. Together, they issued 13 walks, hit two batters and allowed 11 hits. UF starting pitcher Tommy Boss earned his first win of the season, while Miami's Chris IANNINGS,from page 15 it's a whole new game. Morris and UF coach Pat McMahon both said the postseason is too far away to worry about. Perez fell to 2-1 after the loss. Boss pitched five innings, allowing six earned runs and nine hits. Freshman Bryan Augenstein took over in the sixth inning and allowed three hits and three earned runs in 2.1 innings. # Miami third-base coach Gino DiMare was ejected in the top of the fifth for arguing with umpire Tony Walsh when Miami's Jon Jay was thrown out at third after hitting a double. Miami does have good things to look forward to this week as it will no longer be under NCAA probation on Feb. 26. Miami was sanctioned for recruiting and firakial aid violations in 1993 and instituted a selfimposed reduction on scholarships extended through next year. But one thing is clear -they really liked the series. "I do know this," McMahon said. "I really enjoy competing in this series. It's a fun series to coach in; it's a fun series for our players to perform in." It's fun to watch, too. One more time this postseason, please? Gators continue to break SEC records SWIM, from page 14 Ryan Lochte,. capturing another American and U.S. Open record. Lochte. broke the 200-yard backstroke record with a time of 1:38.29, nearly a second below the old record. Going into the event, Lochte said he was not expectirig to break the record. "I just wanted to go about 1:40 and get close to the record," Lochte said. "I touched the wall and looked up and it said 1:38. I couldn't believe it. I just went out there and raced tough." Lochte was not the only one to break a record Saturday night. In the last event of the competition, the 400 freestyle relay, Lochte led off With freshmen Darian Townsend and Daniel Penniman to follow and senior Adam Sioui bringing up the last leg. At this point, UF's men's relay teams had already broken three SEC records, and the 400 free added another. The Gators took first place with a SEC-record time of 2:50.68. "Especially with the sprint relays, you just put your head down and go as fast as you can," Sioui said. "I love having the pressure at the end, being the last leg. We wanted to break the school record; we didn't really know what the SEC record was. We knew Auburn was a good team, but whenever I get a lead I try not to lose it and haven't lost one yet." :UR BY THORNTON WMLDR -A Reality Show for All Times E I25-MAR 20 Tickets: $14 -$27 Call 375-4477,or buy online Students: $5 andl 4p -wlww tehlpp.orgi GENERAL NUTRITION CENTERS #' F25% OFF any one ON Product Cannot be combined.

16, ALLIGATOR N MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2005 UF ROUNDUP Vanderbilt stands firm, stifles Gators comeback The UF women's basketball team lagged behind from the start and never came back, falling to No. 22 Vanderbilt 76-69 on Sunday. It seems in each loss, UF (14-11, 5-7 SEC) has had chances to win late, and this game was no exception. In the second half, the Commodores (19-6, 8-4 SEC) were up by as much as 14 before the Ga-5s mounted a rn. After a steal, UF junior Sarah Lowe's three-point play off a layup made the score 6259 with 5:11 on the clock. UF had another chance when Lowe hit two more free throws with 58 seconds remaining. But coming up the floor and working the shot clock, Vanderbilt forward Carla Thomas appeared to be blocked clean by UF senior guard Tamia Williams. The officials disagreed, and Vanderbilt sealed the victory with free throws. Coach Carolyn Peck, who credited Williams and senior forward Tashia Morehead for "putting everything on the floor," said she thought the Gators could pull out a win. "I thought we had put ourselves back ni a position to make this a ballgame," Peck said. "Then Carla Thomas comes down with two seconds left to go and we foul her." Morehead and Williams both played well despite ailments. Morehead, who scored 11 points, was hit in the throat early in the second half. Williams had a sore right foot but hit five 3-pointers to lead UF with Williams 22 points. The Gators are now in a dangerous position as they head into their final games against No. 16 Georgia at home on Thursday and No. 1 LSU on Sunday. UF will likely need to at least split the games for a shot at the.NCAA Tournament. While not calling Thursday's game a 'must win', Peck said UF still has chances to write an NCAA Tournament resum6. "I feel like we have to win on Thursday because we have to prove to ourselves that we can go out and finish the deal and play hard," Peck said. "That's the most important thing. Right now there are plenty of games to be played .and I'm not going to put that pressure on this team." -MICHAEL MAURINO GYMNASTICS WINS: If versatility is what the Gators wanted to exhibit, then the message was heard loud and clear. Using routines from ten different gymnasts, No. 4 UF (9-2, 4-1 SEC) defeated No. 11 Arkansas (5-4, 2-3 SEC) 196.075-195.575 on Friday night in Fayetteville. The Gators have won five consecutive meets since falling to LSU in mid-January. "I think it was a great meet," Coach Rhonda Faehn said. "Especially considering the circumstances they encountered, lineup changes, but they all came out and did a phenomenal job." UF is now 6-0 against the Razorbacks since Arkansas' gymnastics program joined the SEC three seasons ago. Leading the way for the Gators was sophomore Katie Rue, who won her first collegiate all-around title with a score of 39.175. Rue wasn't inserted into the all-around until the warm-up period before UF's first event. "She's very strong mentally," Faehn said. "Katie stepped up anddid a phenomenal job all the way around. I was very proud of her performance and calm attitude." Rue's entry into the all-around came at the expense of sophomore Savannah Evans, who sat out both uneven bars and balance beam after battling the flu all week. She made the most of her routines, however, earning her fist vault win of the season with a score of 9.925 and finishing second on floor exercise. The Gators claimed every event except floor exercise, and showed its prowess as the nation's No. 1 vault squad, tallying a high score of 49.30 on the event. Freshman Tiffany Murry made a big splash in her return to the uneven bars lineup, scoring a 9.875 to take the event win. "She really [responded to the challenge]," Faehn said. "We've really been asking more of her; she does need to step it up. She did a nice routine on-bars and did a great job on vault as well, and we're going to try to get her motivated and get her back on floor as well." After sitting out last week's meet, senior Erinn Dooley returned with a flourish, claiming her first event title of the season on balance beam with a score of 9.875. -DAN TREAT FT_ INFORMATION SESSION March 19, 10:30 a m, .Sykes College of Business, room 134 (813) 258-7409 1 E-mail: mba@ut.edu l Web site: mba.ut.edu Full-Time Day Program -get your degree in 16 months Graduate assistantships available for qualified full-time MBA candidates -tuition waiver and $1500 stipend each semester Tuition advantage for out-of-state and international students Seven specialized concentrations Personal attention from faculty and staff T7Unrsty Of Accredited by AACSB International T A M P A LSAT I GMAT I GRE I MCAT DAT I PCAT I NCLEX-RN* USMLE I TOEFL I OAT 0 Realistic practice 0 Free extra help P Kaplan study centers I Best teachers 0 Located in Reitz Union Spring classes filling fast!
