STUDENT FINANCES


UF lobbies for grant help


By EMILY YEHLE
Alligator Writer
eyehle@alligator.org

Low-income UF students could receive more free
money in grants and fewer interest-bogged loans if
some UF officials succeed in their lobbying.
Weeks after President Bush's proposed budget laid
out plans to kill Perkins Loans, UF officials are hoping
a grant program will rise from Perkins' ashes.
For the 2005-06 academic year, UF will not receive
the $350,000 it usually gets to help fund the Perkins

program. And Bush recommended retrieving all past
federal contributions to the program and using the
money to pay off a $4.3 billion Pell Grant deficit, es-
sentially ending the distribution of Perkins Loans to
students.
Instead, the government should allow universi-
ties to invest the Perkins program's old funds into an
endowment for the Federal Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grant, or FSEOG, said Karen Fooks, di-
rector of UF Student Financial Affairs.

* DEAN OF STUDENTS
CAN OVERRULE THE DECI-
SION BEFORE 5 P.M.

By STEPHEN MAGRUDER
Alligator Writer
smagruder@alligator.org

UF's highest court may
have violated Florida law
when, on Sunday, it denied
student voters the opportu-
nity to decide whether online
voting should be instituted for
Student Government elections
- possibly invalidating the
decision.
SG Supreme Court Chief
Justice Tobi Butensky said
Thursday the court did not
publicly post a notice of its
Sunday meeting, where it
decided that the petition
signed by more than 1,000 UF
students failed "to meet statu-
tory requirements" because
of "ambiguous, aspirational
language."
Florida Government-in-the-
Sunshine laws state that notice
of all meetings held by public,
decision-making bodies must
be given at least 24 hours be-
fore the meeting begins.
Dean of Students Gene
Zdziarski, the only person
who can override the court's
decision, is looking into
the matter. Unless he re-ap-
proves the petition by 5 p.m.
today, students will not have
a chance during the March
15 and 16 SG election to ap-
prove online votifig in future
elections.
After reading the court's
denial, Progress Party presi-
dential candidate MacKenzie
Moritz sent a letter to
Zdziarski asking him to over-
rule the decision.
"A lot of students at the


a University Police did
not find "enough infor-
mation to go forward
criminally" in an inves-
tigation into possible
impropriety in the
Student Government
election, officials say.
See story, pg. 4.


University of Florida are al-
ready used to using online
services," Moritz said.
"The easier you make it,
the more students will do it,"
he added.
He said the committee that
researched online voting last
year found that paper ballot
elections cost"about $22,000
each, while online voting is
estimated to cost only about
$2,000 per election.
Moritz wrote in his letter
that the court's decision was
"an affront to the legisla-
tive intent of the Student
Government Election Code
and to the
student
body of the
University of
Florida."
S G s
Supreme
Zdziarski Court gath-
ered at noon
Sunday to discuss the statu-
tory requirements of the peti-
tion, and on Monday, mailed
out a letter detailing the
petition's denial to Zdziarski,
the SG office manager, an elec-
tion commissioner and the
SG supervisor of elections.
However, none of the recipi-
ents reported receiving prior
notice of the court's meeting.
All three Student Body
presidential candidates have
come out in support of online
voting.
On Monday, Joe Goldberg's
Gator Party became the last to
announce its support of the
voting initiative.
When asked if the court was
required to notify the public
of its meetings, Butensky said
she felt the court followed all
the rules and acted appropri-

LOCAL
Former UF professor leads
trip to aid tsunami orphans
Led by a former UF.professor,
a group of young philanthropists
will spend Spring Break in an
Indian orphanage.
Spurred to action by the tsu-
nami, professor Mohanalakshmi
Rajakumar contacted the direc-
tors of the Sarada Sakthi Peetam
Orphanage, which houses 120
children orphaned by the tsunami,
and was invited to volunteer.
She and her team will run a
mini summer camp, teaching com-
puter literacy, arts and crafts, and
English. The team also will bring
medicine to the Chennai, India,
orphanage.
"That's the thing about human
nature," Rajakumar said. "People
will survive. We just want to let
them know that we are there to
help them."
The trip will cost $7,000 for
each person. The governmental
organizations and universities
Rajakumar approached refused to
finance the trip.
Rajakumar did not take no for
an answer though and sought the
help of private citizens.
Rajakumar said she chose India
because, "Indonesia was out, the
damage was too great. Thailand,
although affected, wasn't affected
that much. That left Malaysia and
India, and India seemed like a
natural place."
Rajakumar, who was bom in
Madras, India, speaks the local lan-
guage and has a network of con-
tacts in the region. Rajakumar has
previously volunteered in China,
Peru, India and Turkmenistan.
Of the six people accompany-
ing Rajakumar, two have close ties
to Gainesville.
Volunteers include UF alumnus
Amanda Chandler, who graduated
in 2002, and UF student Daron
Dean.
"Daron is one of UF's best
photojournalists," Rajakumar said.
"We plan on making a photo mon-
tage of our trip."
Originally, the orphanage
hoped to have volunteers for three
to six months.
"College students have some
flexibility," Rajakumar said, "but
not that much."
Their trip will last from March 3
through March 13.

UF study: Say 'no' to motto
'Just Say No' for children
Despite the old adage, "Just
say no" may not be the best ad-
vice for kids dealing with peer
pressure.
A recent UF study conducted
by psychology professor Julia
Graber found that middle
school students who found
more evasive ways to fend off
peer pressure to shoplift, fight
or vandalize property were over
six times less likely to take part in
the delinquency.
"Adolescents find themselves
in a situation
where a range of
solutions work,"
she said.
Graber's study,.
published in ,the
Graber November Journal
of Adolescent
Health, surveyed 129 seventh-
grade students in New York
City. There were nearly equal
amounts of boys and girls; how-
ever, 77 percent of the students
were either black or Hispanic.
Participants were asked first
to roleplay with a college-aged
prompter in situations like smok-
ing and shoplifting. A year later,
they were asked what delinquent
acts they engaged in since.
A mere 16 percent of stu-
dents used a variety of refusals,
but these more vague refusals
worked better than a straight
"no," Graber said.
"We tried to see what kinds
of skills adolescents had when
put on the spot," she said. "They
have to think on their feet."
However, she admitted the
teens had a harder time refusing
a friend than a stranger.
"Their relationships are really
important to these adolescents,"
she said.
Graber said adding exercises
aimed at giving students more
verbal tools to withstand peer
pressure beyond a "Just Say No"
campaign should be added to
schools' curricula.

City, county leaders discuss
joint problems for the area
Figureheads from the city
and county met Thursday to
explore possible joint solutions
to area problems.
Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan and
Alachua County Commissioner
Paula DeLaney exchanged
thoughts regarding the proposed
annexation of Gainesville Fire &
Rescue by Alachua County at
City Hall.
Concerns differed about the
ongoing debate over the annexa-


Hanrahan
Hanrahan


tion ot LGFR into
the county's fire
system.
Hanrahan said
Gainesville has an
"excellent fire de-
partment."
Hanrahan said


her main concern
is keeping the level of qual-
ity of fire service constant for
Gainesville residents.
Any change in GFR's status
would need approval from resi-
dents, she said.
The county's perspective is a
little different.
Its fire department covers 965
square miles compared to GFR's
55 square miles.
"We are a poor county, and
many people don't realize it,"
DeLaney said.
The county is trying to find
a way to continue providing
adequate fire service, without
raising residents' taxes.
Local firefighters are worried
about their salaries and posi-
tions within departments being
affected by an annexation.
"We take care of folks,"
DeLaney said, adding that if the
county were to annex a station,
the hierarchy would be kept
intact.

TALLAHASSEE


LGBT position hurts UF in Fla. House, legislator says


By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM
Alligator Staff Writer
jvanl@alligator.org

TALLAHASSEE A senior legislator said
Thursday that UF's appointment of a coor-
dinator for gay and lesbian affairs hurts the
university's support in the state House.
"We're in a culture war in this country of
ideas," Rep. Dennis Baxley (R-Ocala) said
in an interview. As chairman of the House
Education Council, Baxley is the senior House
Republican on education issues.
"When I see things like UF rushing to have
the first coordinator for gay and lesbian aca-
demia, it makes it difficult for me to come up
here and support giving more taxpayer dol-
lars to institutions with these kinds of values,"
he said.
Tamara Cohen, UF's director of lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgendered affairs and
the person to whom Baxley presumably was
referring, was unavailable Thursday.
UF spokesman Steve Orlando, however,
issued the following statement.
"The goal of this position [director of
LGBT affairs] is to provide support for gay
and lesbian students and to help eliminate
discrimination as they pursue their education.
The University of Florida provides staff to
work with many student populations, includ-
ing African-American, Asian and Hispanic,
among others."
Academic persecution alleged
Baxley said he believes Florida's universi-
ties including UF are too liberal, and he has
filed a bill to stop what he says is persecution
of conservative faculty and students. The
Academic Freedom Bill of Rights, HB837, was
filed Feb. 15, and several committees will hold
hearings on the bill in the coming weeks.
House Speaker Allan Bense said Baxley has
a right to express his beliefs.
"We have this great First Amendment in
our Constitution that lets people say what
they feel," Bense said. "Rep. Baxley is a very
passionate person, and I applaud him for be-
ing open enough to share his views."
"There might also be people who feel the
other way, that conservatives are running the


show and liberals should have their day in
court," he said.
In the interview, Baxley decried what he
called "niches of totalitarianism" on univer-
sity campuses.
"I'm pursuing an atmosphere like it used
to be: a place for open debate, where all ideas
can be heard," he said. "Too often now, liberal
professors say, 'If you don't like it, get out of
my classroom.'"
The bill states that students are not to be
graded on their political beliefs, and student
freedoms of speech and assembly cannot be
infringed upon by administration or Student
Government policies.
.The bill also states that funding from
student fees must be distributed on a neutral
basis on questions of political or religious dis-
agreements of opinion.
Accent draws legislator's ire
Baxley said he was especially upset by
recent speakers lured to UF by Accent, UF's
speakers bureau.
"When they spent $50,000 to bring in
Michael Moore to vomit all over the president's
record, they didn't ask you [the students] what
they wanted," he said. "Ron Jeremy, too, is an-
other person I'm not fond of. I don't consider
him an academic expert on anything. I'm just
trying to raise the bar."
UF Student Body President Jamal Sowell
said that Accent had tried to bring conserva-
tive commentator Sean Hannity to balance
Moore before last November's election, but
Hannity backed out.
Accent did bring Republican New York
Gov. George Pataki to speak after Moore.
"I hope that the bill is not trying to limit
what we can do with our SG funds," Sowell
said. "I think that such powers should stay in
the hands of the student body."
Sowell also expressed support for Cohen,
who he said was "an important member of the
administration" whose duties are to "help a
certain demographic of students whose issues
need to be addressed."
Baxley said his bill "makes no attempt to
micromanage our universities," but simply
demands that there be a standard of fairness
in place.


Classroom political agendas
The Baxley bill goes on to state that profes-
sors should not persistently introduce contro-
versial matter into the classroom that "has no
relation to the subject of study and serves no
legitimate pedagogical purpose."
Baxley said that if chemistry professors
interrupted class to talk about how President
Bush should be prosecuted for war crimes,
there would be a problem.
"A lot of it's common sense," he said.
"They know if they're using their position as a
platform for their political agenda, or if they're
teaching."
"When they spent $50,000 to
bring in Michael Moore to vomit all
over the president's record, they
didn't ask you [the students] what
they wanted. Ron Jeremy, too, is
another person I'm not fond of. I
don't consider him an academic
expert on anything. I'm just trying
to raise the bar."
Dennis Baxley
Florida House Representative

Hunter Williams, chairman of UF College
Republicans, said he'd heard several anec-
dotes about professors singling out students
or using a non-political class as a pulpit to
preach their political views.
"The important thing is that students come
here for an education and not to be politically
indoctrinated," Williams said. "We have a lot
of talk about diversity here, and the reason
that's put forward is that diversity improves
education. The most important kind of di-
versity is intellectual diversity and diversity
of ideas."
The bill also states that faculty members
must be promoted or granted tenure on the
basis of their competence in their fields of ex-
pertise and not on the basis of their political or
religious beliefs.
"What really gets me is the incestuousness


of the academic process, where professors are
weeded out based on their political and reli-
gious beliefs," Baxley said, adding he believed
there were 30 liberal professors for each con-
servative one.
But Ralph Lowenstein, who served as
dean of UF's College of Journalism and
Communications from 1976 to 1994, said in all
his years at UF he had never heard of anyone
being hired, fired, granted or denied tenure on
the basis of their political or religious beliefs.
"Absolutely not," he said. "I think people
who have crazy views are not going to be
given tenure, but frankly, people have tenures
based on their scholarships and their teaching,
and what they do outside the classroom is up
to them."
As for professors bringing politics into
the classroom inappropriately, Lowenstein
said UF and other major universities already
discourage it.
Baxley is known as a passionate supporter
of conservative religious views, and last year
he rented out a movie theater to show state
lawmakers "The Passion of the Christ" in a
private screening..
"It's not that the liberals took control over
academia, it's that we conservatives let them
have it," he said, adding that he got the idea
for his bill from the organization Students for
Academic Freedom. "This is really a clarion
call for us to get into the game."
Tethered donations proposed
Baxley said wealthy donors who give
money to universities to endow buildings and
institutes should demand those institutes get
rid of who he called "enemies of democracy
and capitalism."
Christopher Brazda, spokesman for the UF
Foundation, said the university did not have
an official policy on whether donors could de-
mand their money be spent on hiring profes-
sors with conservative political views.
"Our fundraising policies are meant to be
inclusive as possible and as non-discriminato-
ry as possible," he said. "If somebody were to
give a gift-and restrict it on political affiliation,
our gift agreement negotiated between the
university and the donor would be weighed
on its merits on a case-by-case basis."

Bush appoints


lobbyist to UF
By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM
Alligator Staff Writer
jvanl@alligator.org

TALLAHASSEE Gov. Jeb Bush nominated anoth-
er lobbyist to the UF Board of Trustees, the university's
highest governing body, on Thursday.
Courtney Cunningham, a lobbyist with Miami firm
Barreto, Cunningham, May,
UF Dudley.& Maloy, is a major
Administration Republican contributor, ac-
cording to the St. Petersburg
Times. Cunningham previously served on Bush's transi-
tion team for economic development policy, as a mem-
ber of the Florida Elections Commission and also served
in the administration of former President Bush.
Cunningham's appointment must be confirmed
by the Florida Senate, whose president, Tom Lee (R-
Brandon), has said he does not want to confirm new
lobbyists to either university boards of trustees or to the
state Board of Governors.
To ensure their insulation from lawmakers who may
try to influence their decisions, Lee has said that new
trustees should not have incomes like lobbyists' that
rely on the goodwill of the legislature.
Cunningham, a UF graduate, holds political science
and law degrees. He is a member of Phi Kappa Tau
Fraternity and Florida Blue Key.

UPD passes election complaint to Judicial Affairs


By JUSTIN HEMLEPP
Alligator Staff Writer
jhemlepp@alligator.org

University Police did not find "enough
information to go forward criminally" in
an investigation into possible impropriety
in the Student Government election, of-
ficials say.
Investigators instead report they will
forward the complaint, filed by an adviser
to the Student Body President Jamal Sowell,
to Student Judicial Affairs for review, UPD
spokesman Joe Sharkey said.


The specific allegations made by Sowell's
adviser, Lowell Wong, on Feb. 16 will remain
unavailable until today when further reports
detailing the now-closed case become a public
record, Sharkey said, noting he hadn't read
the report.
"They (investigators) think that there is in-
fomation in these reports that Judicial Affairs
will want to look at," he said. "We just want
to. forward to them our findings so they can
decide for themselves."
Wong, who in previous interviews de-
clined to detail his allegations, did not return
two calls to his cellular phone between 4 p.m.


and 11 p.m. Thursday.
He filed the report just hours after
several Impact Party
candidates and support-
ers either jumped ship
to Gator Party or with-
.T drew from SG politics
Altogether, some report-

members of the Black
Sharkey Student Union, a nonpar-
tisan student group, that
has denied any involvement.
The mass defection came in the waning


hours of candidate slating Feb. 15 and re-
portedly left Impact presidential candidate
Dennis Ngin shocked and "disheartened."
Sharkey said UPD detectives interviewed
five people during the investigation but could
not immediately identify them.
Judicial Affairs officials also did not
return calls Thursday, but the office's Web
site states the complaint will be reviewed
by Director Cyrus Williams, who will

Panel discusses Iran-U.S. relations, nuclear politics

UF professors Richard Foltz, left, and Fereshteh Ebrahimi as well as Foaad Khosmood speak to a crowd
of about 30 in the United Church of Gainesville.

Fereshteh Ebrahimi grew up
distrusting superpowers.
The Iran she knew as a little girl
was saturated with Western nations
eager for a slice of the country's oil
industry, she said. Even today, the
54-year-old UF materials science
professor has not forgotten what
she called the "negative influence"
of British and American rule.
"I remember my dad even say-
ing about the bad weather, 'The
British did it,'" she said.
About 30 residents seeking to
learn more about the growing ten-
sion between America and Iran con-
vened to hear a panel discuss Iran's
past and its future at the United
Church of Gainesville on Thursday.
Ebrahimi was joined by fellow
Iranian Foaad Khosmood and UF
professor Richard Foltz, who said
the source of discontent between the
nations can be traced to about-1978.
A peaceful demonstration by
Iranians was interrupted when rul-
Ser Reza Shah Pahlavi's army fired
on the crowd. Advisers of then-


President Carter instructed him to
offer the Shah support, infuriating
many Iranians, Foltz said.
"It is very likely that the
Iranian regime is actually
using [the threat of nuclear
weapons] to say, 'We can
go nuclear when we want
to back off.'"
Foaad Khosmood
panelist

"That was really the beginning
of the end ... we have officially been
the 'Great Satan' since 1979 and
ever since 2000, 2002, Iranians have
been a part of the Axis of Evil," he
said.
As to the present-day rela-
tionship between the .nations,
Khosmood said the U.S. govern-
ment's fears about a nuclear attack
could be unfounded.
"It is very likely that the Iranian
regime is actually using [the threat
of nuclear weapons] to say, 'We can
go nuclear when we want to back
off,'" he said.


Speaker discusses feminism in Islamic community


By ASHLEY JONES
Alligator Contributing Writer

Politics, not religion, is behind the
inequalities women face in the Islam
community, the president of the national
Muslim Student Association told a crowd
of approximately 70 in Rinker Hall on


Thursday.
The Islamic community is experiencing
an unnecessary movement called Islamic
feminism, said Hadia Mubarak, a graduate
student at Georgetown University and the
association's first female president.
"There's no need for a feminist move-
ment to emerge as long as Islamic law is


upheld," Mubarak said.
Mubarak said the Koran, Islam's holy
text, did not relegate men
Multicultural and women to different
Affairs. spheres but that they were
mentioned as equals.
The fight for women's
rights is an issue because politicians are


abusing the language in Islamic historical
documents to place men above women so-
cially, Mubarak said.
"There's a purpose behind life, and it's
the same for men and women," Mubarak
said.
Mubarak gave her speech as the finale
for Islam Awareness Month.

UF buys BellSouth locale


Move continues


eastward growth

By JEFF SIRMONS
Alligator Writer
jsirmons@alligator.org

.To better accommodate the needs of UF's
human resources department, UF purchased
a vacant building formerly occupied by
BellSouth, east of campus.
"The new building has better accessibil-
ity for employees and offers better training
facilities and counseling," said Ed Poppell,
vice president for finance and administration.
"For example, when someone is applying for
a job, they won't have to go through the hassle
of going on campus to turn in an application to
get interviewed."
UF would not disclose the price of the
building, as price negotiations are ongoing,
Poppell said.
UF President Bernie Machen wrote in an
e-mail that it was "less than the $2.6 million
asking price."
The purchase demonstrates UF's motive to
expand eastward, in part to facilitate commu-
nity development in that area, Poppell said.
"That area is rich for economic develop-


ment opportunities," Poppell said. "By pur-
chasing this facility, more jobs in that area will
open up, which inevitably improves the local
economy."
The move also benefits UF's goal in becom-
ing a Top 10 public research university.
"The move allows research to be the big-
gest priority on campus," Poppell said. "The
administration can function just as well, if not
better, off campus."
More than 100 employees will work at the
building, situated at 903 W. University Ave.,
about four blocks east of campus and across
from Taco Bell.
"It centralizes the offices that are now
spread out all over," Machen said.
Human resource offices are now located in
Tigert Hall, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and the
Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.
Whether or not those offices will remain open
will be up to the vice president of human re-
sources, a position UF is looking to fill.
Local media reports indicated that employ-
ees will leave current offices and move into the
new facility when it opens at an unannounced
date.
"One of the perceived inaccuracies is that
they're probably not going to be in one place,"
Poppell said. "We may need to keep some
satellite (on campus) offices open, but that de-
cision will be made by whoever becomes the

vice president of human resources."
Pierre Ramond, Faculty Senate chairman,
indicated that public transportation would be
required so anyone traveling from UF to the
office would not lose parking, a valuable com-


modity, Ramond said, but Poppell said the
move would also "begin to eliminate conges-
tion and competition for parking."
"Less employees will need to drive to cam-
pus," Poppell said.


Deadline hits on early break


Registration deadline

nears for city elections

By EVA KIS
Alligator Staff Writer
ekis@alligator.org

The deadline for Gainesville residents to register
to vote in the upcoming City Commission election
will pass while nearly half the city's population is
lying on a beach or skiing down a mountain.
Whether by handing in forms at the downtown
Supervisor of Elections office or dropping them in
the mail, Gainesville residents wishing to partake
in the March 29 election only have until Monday to
complete the necessary paperwork.
Florida election statutes require that the registra-
tion deadline for voters to be eligible to cast a ballot
in an upcoming election must occur 29 days prior
to the date of that election, county Supervisor of
Elections Pam Carpenter said.


The fate of three seats on the seven-member
Gainesville City Commission will be up for voters
to decide at the end-of-March race.
Districts 2 and 3, respectively representing the
areas north and southwest of UF's campus, will
be decided by voters residing in those precincts, as
Swell as the citywide At-Large seat,
for which every qualified voter in
the city can cast a ballot.
Candidates run the gamut
from carpenter to hospice chap-
lain to a UF professor and student.
n Thenext forum, arranged by the
Alachua County Coalition for the
CarpenteHomeless & Hungry, will take
place Wednesday at Holy Trinity
Episcopal Church, 100 NE First St. at 7:30 p.m.
A list of requirements detailing eligibility
and registration forms can be downloaded from
the Supervisor of Elections Web site, http://
elections.alachua.fl.us/voting registration.html.
In a previous spate of conflict, last year's may-
oral election was held during Spring Break.


Staggered breaks ease state congestion


By STEPHEN MAGRUDER
Alligator Writer
smagruder@alligator.org

UF students looking forward to
spending their Spring Break with
college-aged friends from around
the state will largely be on their
own next week.
That's because UF's Spring
Break, which takes place from
Monday to March 4, will be over
before breaks begin for FSU, UCF,
USF and UM.
FSU has its break from March
7 to 11, and UCF, USF and Miami
all take the week off from March
14 to 18.
However, club owners from


popular Spring Break locales
throughout the state see the stag-
gering of breaks as a good thing.
"We get so many people (dur-
ing Spring Break)," said Jackie
Taylor, who works at the Oyster
Pub in Daytona Beach.
Student "When it's stag-
Life gered, it gives every-
one a break."
Employees at Tantra, a Miami
nightclub and restaurant, agree
that staggering breaks helps to
manage the influx of college stu-
dents.
"It definitely keeps it at a steady
pace," employee Courtney Lynche
said.
She added that if all universities
let their students out, the Spring


Break frenzy would be "overkill"
for area businesses.
Florida public universities are
required to have 220 instructional
days during the typical academic
year, said Rick Ragan, assistant
university registrar.
Within those, UF officials
determining the academic calen-
dar for upcoming school years
provide for state-approved holi-
days like Spring Break as well as
Homecoming festivities.
Officials must adhere to guide-
lines laid out by the Florida Board
of Education, which allows uni-
versities to set their own semester
starting dates within three work-
ing days of the board's proposed
dates.

6, ALLIGATOR r FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2005


A recent Alligator editorial began with the phrase, "At
some point, politicians have to ask themselves how far they
can take things before they'll get caught."
Now, we here at the Department of Darts & Laurels don't
claim to know all of that "politics" stuff that the editorial
board does, but it seems to us that things have gotten a whole
lot worse since that line was written.
Greeks controlling high Student Government positions?
What else is new.
But Greeks conspiring to destroy popular legislation in a
poorly-disguised attempt to retain their stranglehold on SG
power is a whole separate thing entirely.
So bring out your torches, sharpen those pitchforks and
form into ranks as we march our way into this week's edition
of...



Darts &-.Lewe1o

Starting off with the obvious target, we toss a somebody-
still-is-having-problems-with-that-whole-"representation"-
thing DART to SG's Supreme Court for ignoring the will of
the student body by denying the petition to put online voting
onto the ballot for-the coming election.
Their excuse was that the petition was unclear as to
whether it called for a ballot initiative or a referendum,
which would affect the application of the legislation if
(when) approved.
The fact that the word "initiative" appears four times in
the petition, as opposed to the zero appearances of "referen-
dum," apparently wasn't sufficient evidence.
Nor were public statements by the leaders of the Progress
and Impact parties establishing their commitment to gather-
ing 1,000 signatures for the petition or about 2 percent of
the student body which happens to be the requirement for
an initiative.
And at no point has the proposal been called a referen-
dum, as it consistently has been espoused as an "online vot-
ing initiative" by student politicians.
Why would they do such a thing? Why would a represen-
tative body ignore the students?
Simple: It serves their own interests. The Supreme Court
has strong ties to the Greek system, as well as Florida Blue
Key. Chief Justice Tobi Butensky, the highest official in the
court, is in FBK and is former vice president of public rela-
tions for Delta Phi Epsilon Sorority. Again, big surprise.
Greeks, as could be imagined, do not have any interest
in enacting legislation that will encourage the average apa-
thetic student to vote. The more people who vote, the less the
Greek system's consistent ability to mobilize its voters will be
able to guarantee success.
But because we know this problem extends far beyond
the Supreme Court, we launch a we-reserve-harsher-judg-
ment-for-the-puppeteer-than-for-the-marionette DART to
Joe Goldberg and the Gator Party for deciding to co-opt the
issue for their own political gain.
Are we honestly supposed to believe it's a coincidence
that the Gator Party finally decided to publicly support on-
line voting the day after the proposal was shot down?
Are we honestly supposed to believe that Goldberg didn't
know about the Supreme Court's decision before he made
his announcement of support?
We admit, it was a brilliantly devious move. Praise a
popular idea even though it represents a clear threat to
you when you know it can't come to pass, so you get the
appreciation of the students without having to actually listen-
to them.
We can only hope students will see this situation for what
it is and not fall under the collective delusion foisted upon
them by those few who envision their tightly-held influence
slipping away.

Opinions


SG needs to look beyond


Admittedly, I know very little about Student
Government. But I think I got the gist of it from
the Alligator bickering between parties blah
blah blah, corrupt candidates blah blah blah, nothing
ever gets done, etc. and, from what I can tell, the entire
system needs to be completely revamped.
I don't mean minor changes either, like campaign
reform or online voting or similar nonsense. The whole
democratic process thing just isn't working. Nobody
knows what any of the candidates stand for, nobody
votes, nobody cares... what's the point? Democracy in
SG is a nice idea, but the time has come to put a new gov-
ernment in place one proven to get results. Put simply,
SG needs a dictatorship. Dictatorships are efficient, effec-
tive and an established means of initiating change. With
a dictatorship, not only will decisions be handed down
swiftly, but we certainly won't have to worry about elec-
tions.
Problem solved.
Before you get angry and overflow the Alligator's
e-mail, think about it. Does the current SG get anything
accomplished? Of course not not with all the fighting
about which party gets to embezzle the most funds.
"Student Government is just an elaborate hoax to steal
money from the students," Jamal Sowell, Student Body
president.
He didn't really say that, but the point is he could
have. We don't know what any of these parties are up
to, with their fast-talking, shifty speeches and beady
eyes. What we do know is that it takes them a year to
think about maybe writing a resolution to politely ask
Dr. Machen if he would consider adding some parking
spaces, please. On the other hand, a SG dictator, with the
unwavering support of the entire student body, would
take immediate decisive action and demand that Bernie

democracy
get off his ass, give up his unre-
alistic wet dreams about prohibi-
tion, and build us a parking lot!
That's the kind of resolute action
SG is lacking.
Before this dictatorship can
be put into place, a viable leader
capable of ruling with an iron
fist must be found. This person
must be unflinching in his or her
convictions, have a mind capable


of bending others to his or her will, and preferably have
the same '70s-porn-star-style handlebar mustache that all
other notable dictators have.
After reviewing the criteria I just made up, I must
humbly nominate myself. Your modest scribe here fills
those requirements perfectly, except for the mustache
part and I'm working on that one as we speak.'Who
better for Grand Emperor of this new SG than someone
with a lifetime of experience telling other people what to
do? If elected, I promise never to pander to the Greeks or
worry about which minority groups are on my ticket. I
would perform all the actions the committees I disband
only talked about doing. SG would be a force for change
on this campus once again. Besides, it was my idea and I
thought of it first.
So there.
Remember all I have said as you head to the voting
booth this year, all 12 of you. Vote Meyer '05, and it will
be the last decision you'll ever have to make about SG
while you're here.
Have a great Spring Break. Mahalo.

BSU has acted politically before for SG
Editor: Contrary to Brenda Jean's column,
the Black Student Union has acted as a po-
litical organization many times. They may not
take out full-page ads in the Alligator or drape
banners in their office supporting a party, but
BSU officers have actively campaigned for po-
litical parties in the past and are at it again.
Two years ago, when Kyle Jones and Ignite
won the Spring election, the BSU president
and other executive officers were dancing
in celebration on stage. Last year, they re-
peated the scene, celebrating Jamal Sowell and
Access' victory. I have no doubt this year they
again will be dancing on stage with the Gator
Party should Joe Goldberg prove victorious.
Joe Goldberg and company must have cut
BSU a heck of a deal. Last year, BSU members


working on the Access campaign insinuated
that the Gator/Innovate/Ignite/Fusion Party
leaders were racist in their decision not to run
Jamal as their presidential candidate.

Political correctness obscures meaning
Editor: People, get over yourselves. I work
in counseling, where I am exposed to human
suffering and real pain on a daily basis. These
people are going through experiences that ac-
tually matter, such as loss, struggle with fam-
ily and things that are just unimaginable. You
know what doesn't matter? Using the words


"Jewish" or "black" in an article as a descrip-
tor. I'm Hispanic, and if someone described
something as "Hispanic," I'm not going to cry
about it. This would not offend me. It would
merely explain the facts in more detail.
It's a shame that, because people are ultra-
sensitive about being politically correct, the
point is lost. These words are not meant to be
anti-Semitic or racist. Really, try putting things
into perspective and stop being so petty.
Jenny Reixach

Parking reservations worth it for events
Editor: In the Thursday editorial, the author


claims students were denied parking because
of a "high school science fair." As one of the
UF liaisons for the events, I would like to say
parking was reserved by Benton Engineering
Council; however, the spaces are being paid
for by the School Board of Alachua County.
Also, the spaces were reserved for the Alachua
County Science Fair for county middle and
high school students. It is a privilege for these
students to represent their schools at this level.
The winners will move on to the state competi-
tion. We regret that some students were incon-
venienced by the reserving of parking spots.
Perhaps the Alligator editorial board should
not rely upon the Visitor Welcome Center as
their main parking locale in the future.

UF works to join forces with Scripps research giant


By STEPHANIE GARRY
Alligator Staff Writer
smgarry@alligator.org

In late 2003, Florida and Palm Beach
County landed an enormous research
enterprise with $500 million as bait,
promising an economic impact to rival
that of Walt Disney World.
Now UF is hoping to use its own
facilities to bait the research giant, the
Scripps Research Institute.
"Scripps is a big deal for the state
of Florida," said UF Vice President for
Research Win Phillips, who is coordinat-
ing UF and Scripps. "We're the biggest
basic. biomedical research institute in
Florida at the moment, and we're very
happy to have Scripps be a partner."
The original Scripps Research
Institute, in La Jolla, Calif., employs
2,900 and studies diseases, technologies
and potential drugs. Florida expects its
second campus to create 6,500 jobs, add
$1.6 billion to the state's revenue and at-
tract dozens of spinoff companies.
"I think the issue is what Florida
might get," Phillips said, adding the
state would be involved in curing dis-
eases or discovering life-saving drugs.
Earlier this week at a retreat of

the university's top governing body,
Phillips told the Board of Trustees that
Scripps and UF are natural partners
because both are biomedical research
engines.
In 2001, the UF Health Science Center
surpassed Scripps in research dollars,
and in 2003 it raked in $8.6 million more
than Scripps in research awards.
Though some at UF question why
the state dedicated
U F so much money to
-. '; Scripps instead of
investing in UF's exist-
ing facilities, the university now is hop-
ing the institute will collaborate with UF
researchers, pull in grants together and
share facilities.
But first the institute must settle on a
site and allow for timely construction af-
ter environmentalists challenged its first
choice, a 1,920-acre farm, with lawsuits.
But this week the Palm Beach County
Commission narrowed the three poten-
tial sites to two, a move UF officials hope
is a sign of progress.
"My opinion is that any decision
they make is'a step forward," Phillips
said. "The decision [on the remaining
two sites] would be based on some idea
of the timing. They're ready to get go-


ing."
For now, Florida Atlantic University
is providing temporary facilities for
Scripps so it can stay on-track with its
hiring. FAU landed a partnership with
the institute because it is the closest
university to the Palm Beach County
site, said Art Edison, a scientist at UF's
McKnight Brain Institute. FAU doesn't
have nearly the research enterprise UF
does, and the relationship is mostly for
the sake of convenience.
In some ways, the holdup has helped
UF's relationship with Scripps. For one,
UF's animal research facilities already
are housing mice that Scripps will use
for testing. However, much of the part-
nership will grow out of a symbiotic
relationship. UF already has some state-
of-the-art research facilities that Scripps
may use instead of duplicating them,
and Scripps is likely to build facilities
UF doesn't have.
Edison directs a world-class mag-
netic resonance imaging, or MRI, facility
at the McKnight institute that would
cost Scripps about $20 million to repro-
duce, Edison said. The machines allow
researchers to see the anatomy of mice
without killing them, enabling them to
observe the effects of drugs over time.


UF is hoping to expand its facilities
to include machines that allow scientists
to probe the chemistry of living things.
Edison hopes a larger facility will lure
Scripps' interest, but first the university
must find the funds.
"That's something that's going to
interest Scripps quite a lot," Edison said.
"Space is a big problem at UF. Our big-
gest headache is getting enough space."
There's a perception that a Scripps
Institute in Florida will make the state's
research universities "obsolete," Edison
said, but actually the relationship with
Scripps for better or worse will not
be the end-all for UF research.
"It's nice to have as many people as
possible to work on research," he said.
"They are good, but UF is good, too."
At the same time, Scripps has the
potential to become a competitor for
research money, something UF wants
to avoid through a collaborative rela-
tionship.
"Scripps has always been a competi-
tor and so is every other biomedical" fa-
cility, Phillips said, adding that competi-
tion strengthens the research enterprise,
even though some may lose out.
"Most of the time, it's a synergy," he
said.

HIGHWAY SAFETY

FHP aims to curb


aggressive driving


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

Eager to curb the number of
fatalities and traffic accidents associ-
ated with Spring Break, the Florida
Highway Patrol is cracking down
on aggressive driving today.
Phase I of Operation Aggressive
Concentrated Enforcement begins
at 7 a.m. and is expected to end at
11 p.m.
"Troopers have taken a zero-
tolerance stance... FHP is declaring
war on the epidemic of aggres-
sive driving and road rage," FHP
spokesman Mike Burroughs said.
Motorists who excessively speed,
drive impaired or fail to use their
seat belt will be targeted, according
to an FHP report.
Burroughs said the initiative is


necessary due to the rise in traffic
throughout the state this time of
year.
Florida is a prime location for
tourists and college students from
around the country, an influx which
contributes significantly to the
seasonal rise in crashes and traffic-
Srelated deaths,
Burroughs said.
"If you couple
everything to-
gether, and you
look at the epi-
demic we have
snow in Florida
and across the
nation aggressive driving and
road rage... the need for aggres-
sive enforcement on those who are
turning our highways into hazard-
ous arenas is obvious," Burroughs
said.

Perkins cut in Bush budget


PERKINS, from page 1

By accruing interest through
investments, the endowment
would eventually provide grants
to students and would be self-
sustaining, Fooks said.
"Rather than taking the money
and dumping it into the Pell Grant,
which may never get back to UF
students, we think it makes sense to
create a grant program," she said.
Some UF students already re-
ceive FSEOG grants. Up until the
2005 fiscal year, $75,000 to $85,000
of the federal funding for Perkins
Loans were transferred each year
into the grant program.
And additional $1.5 million of
federal funding makes up the rest
of FSEOG's budget.
Fooks hopes to pair those funds
with the money received from UF
students paying off their Perkins
Loans, which adds up to approxi-
mately $4 million annually.
A larger grant program would
be more beneficial to UF students
than a continuation of the Perkins
program, Fooks said, adding that


she plans to garner interest from
Florida legislators.
Rep. Ric Keller, a Republican
who represents Orange County,
does not support any cuts to the
Perkins program, including those
outlined in Bush's budget, his
spokesman Bryan Malenius said.
"We'd love to see students
getting through school
without big student loans."
Bryan Malenius
spokesman for Rep. Ric Keller

However, Malenius also said
Keller would rather see students
get grants than loans, as he paid
for college through the Pell Grant
program.
"We'd love to see students
getting through school without
big student loans," he said.
The National Association
of Student Financial Aid
Administrators has included
Fooks' idea in its proposal for
the reauthorization of the Higher
Education Act. In the next year,
several versions of the act maybe
proposed,. Fooks said.

ately as a judicial body.
But Zdziarski said the lack of
notice is "something that we're
gonna have to look at."
He added that he would look
into the court's reasons for the
denial as well as the applicability
of the state's open-meeting laws
in hopes of having the issue re-
solved as quickly as possible.
UF General Counsel Pam


Bernard said while she was unfa-
miliar with the facts of the case,
she would contact Vice President
of Student Affairs Patricia Telles-
Irvin.
State Attorney's Office
spokesman Spencer Mann said
he was unfamiliar with the spe-
cifics of the court's meeting and
a complaint would have to be
filed with the body governing
the court before any action could
be taken.

BASEBALL

McMahon: Rhode Island offers unique challenge


By TIM CASEY
Alligator Writer
tcasey@alligator.org

With the Miami series in the rearview
mirror, the UF baseball team is preparing
for its conference schedule by hosting three
non-conference teams during Spring Break.
The Gators play Rhode Island tonight,
providing the Rams with their first game of
the season.
The No. 12 Gators (6-2) will employ the
same starting rotation as last weekend.
Junior right-hander Alan Horne (0-0), boast-
ing a 3.75 ERA with 10 strikeouts, will start


against Rhode Island senior right-hander
Dan Frederick.
Bryan Ball (1-0) will oppose Rams junior
left-hander Zach Zuercher on Saturday,
while UF senior Tommy Boss (1-0) is sched-
uled to face sophomore right-hander Steve
Holmes on Sunday.
Frederick was a second-team All-Atlantic
10 Conference selection last year, while
Zuercher was the Atlantic 10 Pitcher of the
Year in 2004 with an 8-3 record and a 2.82
ERA. His 123 strikeouts shattered the Rhode
Island record.
"Rhode Island presents some unique
and interesting challenges," UF coach Pat


"We'll work longer and harder in
the off week. We can utilize time
because of demands not being
placed on them in the classroom."
Pat McMahon
UF baseball coach

McMahon said. "A lot of times, teams like
Northern ball clubs that come down here to
play ... can be a really solid club. It will be a
good series."
Second baseman Adam Davis agrees.
"They have an All-American on the


mound, and all three of their starting
pitchers are returning guys," he said. "It's
a junior and senior team with a lot of lead-
ership, so it should be a good challenge
for us."
Davis went 3 for 5 with three runs and
two RBIs against Florida A&M on Tuesday.
While Rhode Island will halt UF's plans
this weekend, Mercer and Villanova will
keep the Gators busy throughout Spring
Break.
"We'll work longer and harder in the off
week," McMahon said. "We can utilize time
because of demands not being placed on
them in the classroom."


Gymnastics hits the road for nonconference meets


* GYMNASTS' SPRING
BREAK INCLUDES L.A. TRIP.

By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer
dtreat@alligator.org

What are you doing on your
Spring Break?
While many UF students will
spend the next week sipping
frozen drinks on a beach in some
exotic locale, the No. 6 Gators
gymnastics team will be indoors


prepping for a pair of non-confer-
ence meets.
UF has three competitions
within the coming week, start-
ing with the Southeastern
Conference regular season finale
against Kentucky tonight.
Despite the lack of activity on
campus in the coming week, the
Gators will try to maintain an
even keel.
"We try to keep it as much
the same as we can," co-captain
Samantha Lutz said. "We might


do team functions where we'll go
on a walk together or something
just to get us up and moving, but
as far as practice
goes, it doesn't
change much."
But don't
feel too sorry
for UF's ap-
parent lack of
Lutz Spring Break
excitement. The
Gators travel to Salt Lake City to
face No. 4 Utah, California and


Stanford a week from today, and
to Los Angeles to face the No. 2
Bruins on March 6.
"UCLA and Utah especially
are two teams that we would
love to beat," Lutz said. "We've
been training hard the last couple
weeks, probably more for pre-
paring for next weekend than
this weekend or the weekend
before."
Senior Orley Szmuch will
likely return from her injury next
week to compete on both uneven


bars and beam.
Meanwhile, sophomore
Savannah Evans will return to
uneven bars after sitting out the
event last week with the flu.
The gymnasts view this week
as a time to both prepare and re-
charge their batteries.
"Obviously gymnastics is the
most important thing right now,"
Lutz said. "And as much as we'd
like to be able to get away, some-
times it's nice to get some down
time to have a break."

Onslaught of top-25 teams awaits Gators in meet


By CHUCK BAER
Alligator Writer

For UF's track and field ath-
letes, spring break doesn't start
with a trip to the beach or with
the boarding of a cruise ship.
It starts with a 1,000-mile trip
to Fayetteville, Ark., for the
Southeastern Conference Indoor
Championships.
The No. 3 men's team and No.
5 women's team plan on defend-


ing last year's first-place titles
against some of the best track and
field teams in the country.
"We're in Arkansas' back
yard," men's coach Mike
Holloway said. "We respect
them as always, and we'll go out
and do what we always do."
The men, who face five teams
in the top 25, will be led by soph-
omore Mike Morrison in the high
and long jumps. Top sprinters in-
clude senior Kyle Farmer, junior


Sekou Clarke and sophomore
Kerron Clement.. Senior Steve
Zieminski will
handle distance
running.
"I think I'll
do well," said
Morrison, who
Ranks second in
Morrison the SEC in the
high jump and
first in the long jump. "There's
amazing competition in our con-


ference."
Josh Walker enters the meet
ranked second in the conference
in the 60-meter hurdles and sixth
in the 200-meter dash.
"There's a lot of great compe-
tition in the SEC," the junior said.
"But I feel that if I go in and ex-
ecute my race and do what I need
to do, then I'll be a very hard
person to beat."
The women's team faces
six ranked teams: Louisiana


State, Tennessee, Auburn, South
Carolina, Georgia and Arkansas.
"We'll have to have a really, re-
ally outstanding meet," women's
coach Tom Jones said. "And we
have the ability to do it."

Minus Mosby, 'Dawgs annihilate UF

By MICHAEL MAURINO

No Bernice Mosby, no chance.
Playing without Mosby, its leading scorer, UF was
trounced by No. 18 Georgia, 63-38. The Gators (14-12,
5-8 Southeastern Conference) will likely need to upset
No. 1 Louisiana State on Sunday and play well in the
SEC Tournament to get an NCAA Tournament invite.
The Gators led 25-22 at halftime, but in the second
half, their game was gone. So was Mosby.
The junior participated in the pre-game shootaround
but spent the first half in
Women's Basketball warm-ups on the end of
Georgia 63 the bench. When UF came
SUF 38 out for the second half, she
,; 'was gone altogether. Until
A X1 Thursday, the forward had
started every game, averaging 15.5 points per game.
Coach Carolyn Peck talked delicately about the situ-
ation, but hinted that Mosby's absence resulted from
more than an argument.
S., ;_ "Bernice didn't start the game today because of a
violation of team rules," Peck said. "Then, at halftime,
she had to take care of some personal issues."
The final 20 minutes ended up being the lowest-
scoring in Gators history. Managing just 13 pointts, they
made only three of 22 shots in the second period. UF
shot 30.4 percent overall.
Peck said UF's missed chances contributed' to
Georgia's 41-point second half.
"In the second half, when Georgia went to their
zone, the shots we normally hit just didn't fall," she
said. "I think that affected us defensively. It takes the
wind out of your sails a little bit when you're not mak-
.. ing shots."
I. Junior forward Brittany Davis did her best to fill the
void Mosby left, scoring 13 points. She said the second
; half will be a lesson for the team.
Matt Marriott/ Alligator Staff "There's really no excuse," Davis said. "We need to

Postseason juices flowing against South Carolina


By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
:' bapp@alligator.org

When deciding where to
gallivant about in a half-naked
decadent stupor during the im-
Dending Spring Break, you may
insiderr Panama City, Daytona,
)r f y the truly exotic, Cancun or
\Iassau.
But for the Gators whether
hey like it or not Spring Break


Belt excursion.
The Gators (17-7, 9-4
Southeastern Conference) will
attempt to solidify a prominent
postseason standing with a three-
game season-closing stretch,
beginning at South Carolina on
Sunday.
UF will follow up Sunday's
game with a Georgia showdown,
on Wednesday before returning
to the O'Connell Center for a
March 6 season finale against No.
5 Kentucky.


With a -win against the
Gamecocks (14-10, 6-7 SEC), the
Gators would clinch the division's
No. 2 spot and a
first-round bye
in March's con-
ference tourna-
ment.
Going by
prior records,
Donovan perhaps UF is
all but a lock.
The Gators have claimed
eight consecutive victories and


won 12 of the last 13 against
the Gamecocks, yet Coach Billy
Donovan knows they're a danger-
ous group.
"They're a basketball team that
came in here and played an unbe-
lievable second half and shot the
ball well behind the 3-point line,"
Donovan said.
The Gators overcame a 38.5
percent second-half shooting
slump to grind out the win.
"We have not been able to get
over the hump against them, and


they won both those games," said
Gamecocks coach Dave Odom.
"So we'll be looking to reverse
that trend."
With a Kentucky showdown
looming and an opportunity to
improve NCAA Tournament
seeding, junior guard Anthony
Roberson stressed that this is no
time for complacency.
"We've got to play hard every
time out," Roberson .said. "This
isn't the time to breathe easy.
We've got to keep playing big."

y holds the NCAA record in the event.
One athlete is particularly excited about the


trip to Fayetteville.
"I feel that even though we have a re-
ally young team this year, we're going to
surprise a lot of people and be right there
in the mix to actually win," high-jumper
Krystle Moss said.
The senior holds the SEC's best mark


this season with a jump of 5 feet, 10.75
inches, and is favored to win her final SEC
Indoor Championship meet.
"I'm excited," Moss said. "I feel like
we've always done really well and I don't
feel that anything is going to change that.
It will be sad once it's all over at the end,


but right now I'm just enjoying it."
Jones was cautiously optimistic about
the Gators' chances.
"In this conference, if you're in the hunt
here, you're in the hunt nationally," he
said. "This conference is so competitive.
Maybe 13 will be my.lucky number?"


UF scores record-low 13 points in half


BASKETBALL, from page 19

Seniors Tishona Gregory, Tashia Morehead
md Tamia Williams were honored before the
same. Gregory vwas held scoreless on five
shots, while Williams had 2 points. Morehead
led the team with 14.
If the Gators struggled from the field
in the second half, they could barely graze
the rim from behind the 3-point line.
Hitting 40 percent of their 3-point shots,
they were tops in the SEC prior to facing
Georgia. Their one-of-13 performance
against the Bulldogs was a very different
story.
Had Mosby played, UF might have
capitalized. Georgia's leading scorer, Tasha


Humphrey, missed the game due to disciplin-
ary reasons. Georgia coach Andy Landers said
Humphrey will get a "dean slate," but Peck
would not give a similar vote of confidence
for Mosby.
"I [do not] know anything past tonight,"
Peck said.
The Gators are now 0-7 against ranked
opponents and probably face their tough-
est challenge Sunday at LSU. Considering
Mosby's disciplinary situation and an all-but-
lost NCAA Tournament berth, UF clearly has
plenty to think about. However, Peck has not
concerned herself with UF's chances of mak-
ing the field of 64.
"I'm not worried about that right now,"
she said. "I'm worried about getting this team
prepared to go to Baton Rouge."

There will be blasts from the past

pect in the draft.
We've seen what he can do on the
field, but Crow.der will have to tace
relentless cqui tlounig aboutt lis of-the-


field troubles. It will be in the interview-
in p5roc ~c ;-,Whe re Crowder could watch
his stock either tall or soar because of
the dreaded "character issues."
Then there is the talented and
squeaky-clean Ciatrick Fason, who
will be wearing No. 30 at the combine

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2005 STUDENT FINANCES UF hobbies for grant help By EMILY YEHLE Alligator Writer eyehle@aIligator.org Low-income UF students could receive more free money in grants and fewer interest-bogged loans if some UF officials succeed in their lobbying. Weeks after President Bush's proposed budget laid out plans to kill Perkins Loans, UF officials are hoping a grant program will rise from Perkins' ashes. For the 2005-06 academic year, UF will not receive the $350,000 it usually gets to help fund the Perkins program. And Bush recommended retrieving all past federal contributions to the program and using the money to pay off a $4.3 billion Pell Grant deficit, essentially ending the distribution of Perkins Loans to students. Instead, the government should allow universities to invest the Perkins program's old funds into an endowment for the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, or FSEOG, said Karen Fooks, director of UF Student Financial Affairs. SEE PERKINS, PAGE 9 Online ruling may violate state law E DEAN OF STUDENTS CAN OVERRULE THE DECISION BEFORE 5 P.M. By STEPHEN MAGRUDER Alligator Writer omagrodor@aIligotor.org UF's highest court may have violated Florida law when, on Sunday, it denied student voters the opportunity to decide whether online voting should be instituted for Student Government elections -possibly invalidating the decision. SG Supreme Court Chief Justice Tobi Butensky said Thursday the court did not publicly post a notice of its Sunday meeting, where it decided that the petition signed by more than 1,000 UF students failed "to meet statutory requirements" because of "ambiguous, aspirational language." Florida Government-in-theSunshine laws state that notice of all meetings held by public, decision-making bodies must be given at least 24 hours before the meeting begins. Dean of Students Gene Zdziarski, the only person who can override the court's decision, is looking into the matter. Unless he re-approves the petition by 5 p.m. today, students will not have a chance during the March 15 and 16 SG election to approve online voting in future elections. After reading the court's denial, Progress Party presidential candidate MacKenzie Moritz sent a letter to Zdziarski asking him to overrule the decision. "A lot of students at the University of 'Florida are already used to using online services," Moritz said. "The easier you make it, the more students will do it," he added. He said the committee that researched online voting last year found that paper ballot elections cost"about $22,000 each, while online voting is estimated to cost only about $2,000 per election. Moritz wrote in his letter that the court's decision was "an affront to the legislative intent of the Student Government Election Code and to the s t u d e n t body of the University of Zk Florida." S G s S u p r e m e Zdziarski Court gathered at noon Sunday to discuss the statutory requirements of the petition, and on Monday, mailed out a letter detailing the petition's denial to Zdziarski, the SG office manager, an election commissioner and the SG supervisor of elections. However, none of the recipients reported receiving prior notice of the court's meeting. All three Student Body presidentialcandidates have come out in support of online voting. On Monday, Joe Goldberg's Gator Party became the last to announce its support ot the voting initiative. When asked if the court was required to notify the public of its meetings, Butensky said she felt the court followed all the rules and acted appropriSEE COURT, PAGE 9 "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" 1' University Police did not find "enough information to go forward criminally" in an investigation into possible impropriety in the Student Government election, officials say.

2, ALLIGATOR U FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2005 News Today LOCAL Former UF professor leads trip to aid tsunami orphans Led by a former UF professor, a group of young philanthropists will spend Spring Break in an Indian orphanage. Spurred to action by the tsunami, professor Mohanalakshmi Rajakumar contacted the directors of the Sarada Sakthi Peetam Orphanage, which houses 120 children orphaned by the tsunami, and was invited to volunteer. She and her team will run a mini summer camp, teaching computer literacy, arts and crafts, and English. The team also will bring medicine to the Chennai, India, orphanage. "That's the thing about human nature," Rajakumar said. "People will survive. We just want to let them know that we are there to help them." The trip will cost $7,000 for each person. The governmental organizations and universities Rajakumar approached refused to finance the trip. Rajakumar did not take no for an answer though and sought the help of private citizens. Rajakumar said she chose India because, "Indonesia was out, the damage was too great. Thailand, although affected, wasn't affected that much. That left Malaysia and India, and India seemed like a natural place." Rajakumar, who was born in Madras, India, speaks the local language and has a network of contacts in the region. Rajakumar has previously volunteered in China, Peru, India and Turkmenistan. Of the six people accompanying Rajakumar, two have close ties to Gainesville. Volunteers include UF alumnus Amanda Chandler, who graduated in 2002, and UF student Daron Dean. "Daron is one of UF's best photojournalists Rajakumar said. "We plan on making a photo montage of our trip." Originally, the orphanage hoped to have volunteers for three to six months. "College students have some flexibility," Rajakumar said, "but not that much." Their trip will last from March 3 through March 13. -DAN ONEY alligator advertising -F U SOT -0 FORECAST TODAY RAIN 66/50 SATURDAY PARTLY CLOUDY 69/53 UF study: Say 'no' to motto 'Just Say No' for children Despite the old adage, "Just say no" may not be the best advice for kids dealing with peer pressure. A recent UF study conducted by psychology professor Julia Graber found that middle school students who found more evasive ways to fend off peer pressure to shoplift, fight or vandalize property were over six times less likely to take part in the delinquency. "Adolescents find themselves in a situation where a range of solutions work," Sshe said. Graber's study, published in -the Graber November Journal of Adolescent Health, surveyed 129 seventhgrade students in New York City. There were nearly equal amounts of boys and girls; however, 77 percent of the students were either black or Hispanic. Participants were asked first to roleplay with a college-aged prompter in situations like smoking and shoplifting. A year later, they were asked what delinquent acts they engaged in since. A mere 16 percent of students used a variety of refusals, but these more vague refusals worked better than a straight "no," Graber said. "We tried to see what kinds of skills adolescents had when put on the spot," she said. "They have to think on their feet." However, she admitted the teens had a harder time refusing a friend than a stranger. "Their relationships are really important to these adolescents," she said. Graber said adding exercises aimed at giving students more verbal tools to withstand peer pressure beyond a "Just Say No" campaign should be added to schools' curricula. -SKYLER SMITH SUNDAY THUNDER STORMS 69/49 MONDAY THUNDER STORMS 71/48 TUESDAY PARTLY CLOUDY 66/37 City, county leaders discuss joint problems for the area Figureheads from the city and county met Thursday to explore possible joint solutions to area problems. Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan and Alachua County Commissioner Paula DeLaney exchanged thoughts regarding the proposed annexation of Gainesville Fire & Rescue by Alachua County at City Hall. Concerns differed about the ongoing debate over the annexation of GFR into the county's fire system. Hanrahan said Gainesville has an "excellent fire department." Hanrahan Hanrahan said her main concern is keeping the level of quality of fire service constant for Gainesville residents. Any change in GFR's status would need approval from residents, she said. The county's perspective is a little differentIts fire department covers 965 square miles compared to GFR's 55 square miles. "We are a poor county, and many people don't realize it," DeLaney said. The county is trying to find a way to continue providing adequate fire service. without raising residents' taxes. Local firefighters are worried about their salaries and positions within departments being affected by an annexation. "We take care of folks," DeLaney said, adding that if the county were to annex a station, the hierarchy would be kept intact.

House, legislator says By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM Alligator Staff Writer jvanl@aiiigator.org TALLAHASSEE -A senior legislator said Thursday that UF's appointment of a coordinator for gay and lesbian affairs hurts the university's support in the state House. "We're in a culture war in this country of ideas," Rep. Dennis Baxley (R-Ocala) said in an interview. As chairman of the House Education Council, Baxley is the senior House Republican on education issues. "When I see things like UF rushing to have the first coordinator for gay and lesbian acadeinia, it makes it difficult for me to come up here and support giving more taxpayer dollars to institutions with these kinds of values," he said. Tamara Cohen, UF's director of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered affairs and the person to whom Baxley presumably was referring, was unavailable Thursday. UF spokesman Steve Orlando, however, issued the following statement. "The goal of this position [director of LGBT affairs] is to provide support for gay and lesbian students and to help eliminate discrimination as they pursue their education. The University of Florida provides staff to work with many student populations, including African-American, Asian and Hispanic, among others." Academic persecution alleged Baxley said he believes Florida's universities -including UF -are too liberal, and he has filed a bill to stop what he says is persecution of conservative faculty and students. The Academic Freedom Bill of Rights, HB837, was filed Feb. 15, and several committees will hold hearings on the bill in the coming weeks. House Speaker Allan Bense said Baxley has a right to express his beliefs. "We have this great First Amendment in our Constitution that lets people say what they feel," Bense said. "Rep. Baxley is a very passionate person, and I applaud him for being open enough to share his views." "There might also be people who feel the other way, that conservatives are running the show and liberals should have their day in court," he said. In the interview, Baxley decried what he called "niches of totalitarianism" on university campuses. "I'm pursuing an atmosphere like it used to be: a place for open debate, where all ideas can be heard," he said. "Too often now, liberal professors say, 'If you don't like it, get out of my classroom.' The bill states that students are not to be graded on their political beliefs, and student freedoms of speech and assembly cannot be infringed upon by administration or Student Government policies. The bill also states that funding from student fees must be distributed on a neutral basis on questions of political or religious disagreements of opinion. Accent draws legislator's ire Baxley said he was especially upset by recent speakers lured to UF by Accent, UF's speakers bureau. "When they spent $50,000 to bring in Michael Moore to vomit all over the president's record, they didn't ask you [the students] what they wanted," he said. "Ron Jeremy, too, is another person I'm not fond of. I don't consider him an academic expert on anything. I'm just trying to raise the bar" UF Student Body President Jamal Sowell said that Accent had tried to bring conservative commentator Sean Hannity to balance Moore before last November's election, but Hannity backed out. Accent did bring Republican New York Gov. George Pataki to speak after Moore. "I hope that the bill is not trying to limit what we can do with our SG fuds," Sowell said. "I think that such powers should stay in the hands of the student body." Sowell also expressed support for Cohen, who he said was "an important member of the administration" whose duties are to "help a certain demographic of students whose issues need to be addressed." Baxley said his bill "makes no attempt to micromanage our universities," but simply demands that there be a standard of fairness in place. Classroom political agendas The Baxley bill goes on to state that professors should not persistently introduce controversial matter into the classroom that "has no relation to the subject of study and serves no legitimate pedagogical purpose." Baxley said that if chemistry professors interrupted class to talk aboUt how President Bush should be prosecuted for war crimes, there would be a problem. "A lot of it's common sense," he said. "They know if they're using their position as a platform for their political agenda, or if they're teaching." "When they spent $50,000 to bring in Michael Moore to vomit all over the president's record, they didn't ask you [the students] what they wanted. Ron Jeremy, too, is another person I'm not fond of. I don't consider him an academic expert on anything. I'm just trying to raise the bar." Dennis Baxley Florida House Representative Hunter Williams, chairman of UF College Republicans, said he'd heard several anecdotes about professors singling out students or using a non-political class as a pulpit to preach their political views. "The important thing is that students come here for an education and not to be politically indoctrinated," Williams said. "We have a lot of talk about diversity here, and the reason that's put forward is that diversity improves education. The most important kind of diversity is intellectual diversity and diversity of ideas." The bill also states that faculty members must be promoted or granted tenure on the basis of their competence in their fields of expertise and not on the basis of their political or religious beliefs. "What really gets me is the incestuousness of the academic process, where professors are weeded out based on their political and religious beliefs," Baxley said, adding he believed there were 30 liberal professors for each conservative one. Blt Ralph Lowenstein, who served as dean of UF's College of Journalism and Communications from 1976 to 1994, said in all his years at UF he had never heard of anyone being hired, fired, granted or denied tenure on the basis of their political or religious beliefs. "Absolutely not," he said. "I think people who have crazy views are not going to be giventenure, but frankly, people have tenures based on their scholarships and their teaching, and what they do outside the classroom is up to them." As for professors bringing politics into the classroom inappropriately, Lowenstein said UF and other major universities already discourage it. Baxley is known as a passionate supporter of conservative religious views, and last year he rented out a movie theater to show state lawmakers "The Passion of the Christ" in a private screening. "It's not that the liberals took control over academia, it's that we conservatives let them have it," he said, adding that he got the idea for his bill from the organization Students for Academic Freedom. "This is really a clarion call for us to get into the game." Tethered donations proposed Baxley said wealthy donors who give money to universities to endow buildings and institutes should demand those institutes get rid of who he called "enemies of democracy and capitalism." Christopher Brazda, spokesman for the UF Foundation, said the university did not have an official policy on whether donors could demand their money be spent on hiring professors with conservative political views. "Our fundraising policies are meant to be inclusive as possible and as non-discriminatory as possible," he said. "If somebody were to give a gift-and restrict it on political affiliation, our gift agreement -negotiated between the university and the donor -would be weighed on its merits on a case-by-case basis." Bush appoints lobbyist to UF By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM Alligator Staff Writer jvanlalliat.a TALLAHASSEE -Gov. Jeb Bush nominated anothor lobbyist to the UF Board of Trustees, the university's highest governing body, on Thursday. Courtney Cunningham, a lobbyist with Miami firm Barreto, Curminghaim, May, U F Dudley .& Maloy, is a major Administration Republican contributor, according to the St. Petersburg Times. Cunningham previously served on Bush's transition team for economic development policy, as a member of the Florida Elections Comiission and also served in the administration of former President Bush. Cunningham's appointment must be confirmed by the Florida Senate, whose president, Tom Lee (RBrandon), has said he does not want to confirm new lobbyists to either university boards of trustees or to the state Board of Governors. To ensure their insulation from lawmakers who may try to influence their decisions, Lee has said that new trustees should not have incomes -like lobbyists' -that rely on the goodwill of the legislature. Curmingham, a UF graduate, holds political science and law degrees. He is a member of Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity and Florida Blue Key.

Investigators instead report they will forward the complaint, filed by an adviser to the Student Body President Jamal Sowell, to Student Judicial Affairs for review, UPD spokesman Joe Sharkey said. The specific allegations made by Sowell's adviser, Lowell Wong, on Feb. 16 will remain unavailable until today when further reports detailing the now-closed case become a public record, Sharkey said, noting he hadn't read the report. "They (investigators) think that there is infomation in these reports that Judicial Affairs will want to look at," he said. "We just want to forward to them our findings so they can decide for themselves." Wong, who in previous interviews declined to detail his allegations, did not return two calls to his cellular phone between 4 p.m. and 11 p.m. Thursday. He filed the report just hours after several Impact Party candidates and supportera either jumped ship o Gator Party or withdrew from SG politics altogether, some reportedly under pressure from members of the Black Student Union, a nonpartisan student group, that has denied any involvement. The mass defection came in the waning hours of candidate slating Feb. 15 and reportedly left Impact presidential candidate Dennis Ngin shocked and "disheartened." Sharkey said UPD detectives interviewed five people during the investigation but could not immediately identify them. Judicial Affairs officials also did not return calls Thursday, but the office's Web site states the complaint will be reviewed by Director Cyrus Williams, who will decide whether to pursue charges in the matter.

Wimslow/ siAigator start UF professors Richard Foltz, left, and Fereshteh Ebrahimi as well as Foaad Khosmood speak to a crowd of about 30 in the United Church of Gainesville. By MEGAN V. WINSLOW Alligator Writer nwimslow@amigator.org Fereshtch Ebrahimi grew up distrusting superpowers. The Iran she knew as a little girl was saturated with Western nations eager for a slice of the country's oil industry, she said. Even today, the 54-year-old UF materials science professor has not forgotten what she called the "negative influence" of British and American rule. "I remember my dad even saying about the bad weather, 'The British did it,"' she said. About 30 residents seeking to learn more about the growing tension between America and Iran convened to hear a panel discuss Iran's past and its future at the United Church of Gainesville on Thursday. Ebrahimi was joined by fellow Iranian Foaad Khosmood and UF professor Richard Foltz, who said the source of discontent between the nations can be traced to about 1978. A peaceful demonstration by Iranians was interrupted when ruler Reza Shah Pahlavi's army fired on the crowd. Advisers of then-' President Carter instructed him to offer the Shah support, infuriating many Iranians, Foltz said. "It is very likely that the Iranian regime is actually using [the threat of nuclear weapons] to say, 'We can go nuclear when we want to -back off."' Foaad Khosmood panelist "That was really the beginning of the end .we have officially been the 'Great Satan' since 1979 and ever since 2000, 2002, Iranians have been a part of the Axis of Evil," he said. As to the present-day relationship between the -nations, Khosmood said the U.S. government's fears about a nuclear attack could be unfounded. "It is very likely that the Iranian regime is actually using [the threat of nuclear weapons] to say, 'We can go nuclear when we want to -back off,"' he said.

The Islamic community is experiencing an unnecessary movement called Islamic feminism, said Hadia Mubarak, a graduate student at Georgetown University and the association's first female president. "There's no need for a feminist movement to emerge as long as Islamic law is upheld," Mubarak said. Mubarak said the Koran, Islam's holy text, did not relegate men Multicultural and women to different Affairs. spheres but that they were mentioned as equals. The fight for women's rights is an issue because politicians are abusing the language in Islamic historical documents to place men above women socially, Mubarak said.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 5 Move continues eastward growth By JEFF SIRMONS Alligator Writer jsirmons@amigator.org To better accommodate the needs of UF's human resources department, UF purchased a vacant building formerly occupied byI BellSouth, east of campus. "The new building has better accessibil-I ity for employees and offers better training facilities and counseling," said Ed Poppell, vice president for finance and administration. "For example, when someone is applying for a job, they won't have to go through the hassle I of going on canipus to turn in an application to get interviewed." UF would not disclose the price of the building, as price negotiations are ongoing, Poppell said. UF President Bernie Machen wrote in an e-mail that it was "less than the $2.6 million asking price."

"The move allows research to be the biggest priority on campus," Poppell said. "The administration can function just as well, if not better, off campus." More than 100 employees will work at the building, situated at 903 W. University Ave., about four blocks east of campus and across from Taco Bell. "It centralizes the offices that are now spread out all over," Machen said. Human resource offices are now located in Tigert Hall, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. Whether or not those offices will remain open will be up to the vice president of human resources, a position UF is looking to fill. Local media reports indicated that employees will leave current offices and move into the new facility when it opens at an unannounced date. "One of the perceived inaccuracies is that they're probably not going to be in one place," Poppell said.

In a previous spate of conflict, last year's mayoral election was held during Spring Break. Staggered breaks ease state congestion By STEPHEN MAGRUDER Alligator Writer smagruder@alligator.org UF students looking forward to spending their Spring Break with college-aged friends from around the state will largely be on their own next week. That's because UF's Spring Break, which takes place from Monday to March 4, will be over before breaks begin for FSU, UCF, USF and UM. FSU has its break from March 7 to It, and UCF, USF and Miami all take the week off from March 14 to r. However, club owners from popular Spring Break locales throughout the state see the staggering of breaks as a good thing. "We get so many people (during Spring Break)," said Jackie Taylor, who works at the Oyster Pub in Daytona Beach. Stj dent "When it's staggered, it gives everyone a break." Employees at Tantra, a Miami nightclub and restaurant, agree that staggering breaks helps to manage the influx of college students. "It definitely keeps it at a steady pace," employee Courtney Lynche said. She added that if all universities let their students out, the Spring Break frenzy would be "overkill" for area businesses. Florida public universities are required to have 220 instructional days during the typical academic year, said Rick Ragan., assistant university registrar. Within those, UF officials determining the academic calenidar for upcoming school years provide for state-approved holidays like Spring Break as well as Homecoming festivities. Officials must adhere to guidelines laid out by the Florida Board of Education, which allows universities to set their own semester starting dates withindthree working days of the board's proposed dates.

6, ALLIGATOR S FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2005 A recent Alligator editorial began with the phrase, "At some point, politicians have to ask themselves how far they can take things before they'll get caught." Now, we here at the Department of Darts & Laurels don't claim to know all of that "politics" stuff that the editorial board does, but it seems to us that things have gotten a whole lot worse since that line was written. Greeks controlling high Student Government positions? What else is new. But Greeks conspiring to destroy popular legislation in a poorly-disguised attempt to retain their stranglehold on SG power is a whole separate thing entirely. So bring out your torches, sharpen those pitchforks and form into ranks as we march our way into this week's edition of. Daorts & 4:wa omm ,# Ier Starting off with the obvious target, we toss a somebodystill-is-having-problems-with-that-whole-"representation"thing DART to SG's Supreme Court for ignoring the will of the student body by denying the petition to put online voting onto the ballot for-the coming election. Their excuse was that the petition was unclear as to whether it called for a ballot initiative or a referendum, which would affect the application of the legislation if (when) approved. The fact that the word "initiative" appears four times in the petition, as opposed to the zero appearances of "referendum," apparently wasn't sufficient evidence. Nor were public statements by the leaders of the Progress and Impact parties establishing their commitment to gathering 1,000 signatures for the petition -or about 2 percent of the student body -which happens to be the requirement for an initiative. And at no point has the proposal been called a referendum, as it consistently has been espoused as an "online voting initiative" by student politicians. Why would they do such a thing? Why would a representative body ignore the students? Simple: It serves their own interests. The Supreme Court has strong ties to the Greek system, as well as Florida Blue Key. Chief Justice Tobi Butensky, the highest official in the court, is in FBK and is former vice president of public relations for Delta Phi Epsilon Sorority. Again, big surprise. Greeks, as could be imagined, do not have any interest in enacting legislation that will encourage the average apathetic student to vote. The more people who vote, the less the Greek system's consistent ability to mobilize its voters will be able to guarantee success. But because we know this problem extends far beyond the Supreme Court, we launch a we-reserve-harsher-judgment-for-the-puppeteer-than-for-the-marionette DART to Joe Goldberg and the Gator Party for deciding to co-opt the issue for their own political gain. Are we honestly supposed to believe it's a coincidence that the Gator Party finally decided to publicly support online voting the day after the proposal was shot down? Are we honestly supposed to believe that Goldberg didn't know about the Supreme Court's decision before he made his announcement of support? We admit, it was a brilliantly devious move. Praise a popular idea -even though it represents a clear threat to you -when you know it can't come to pass, so you get the appreciation of the students without having to actually listen. to them. We can only hope students will see this situation for what it is and not fall under the collective delusion foisted upon them by those few who envision their tightly-held influence slipping away. the indcpe-]ent noriaa alligatora Dwayne Robinson Matt Sanchez EDITOR OPINIONS EDITOR Mite Girnignani Lauren Flanagan MANAGING EDITOR Diana Middleton Craig Singleton EDITORIAL BOARD The Aligator encourages comments from readers.

But I think I got the gist of it from the Alligator -bickering between parties blah blah blah, corrupt candidates blah blah blah, nothing ever gets done, etc. -and, from what I can tell, the entire system needs to be completely revamped. I don't mean minor changes either, like campaign reform or online voting or similar nonsense. The whole democratic process thing just isn't working. Nobody knows what any of the candidates stand for, nobody votes, nobody cares. what's the point? Democracy in SG is a nice idea, but the time has come to put a new government in place -one proven to get results. Put simply, SG needs a dictatorship. Dictatorships are efficient, effective and an established means of initiating change. With a dictatorship, not only will decisions be handed down swiftly, but we certainly won't have to worry about elections. Problem solved. Before you get angry and overflow the Alligator's e-nuail, think about it. Does the current SG get anything accomplished? Of course not -not with all the fighting about which party gets to embezzle the most funds. "Student Government is just an elaborate hoax to steal money from the students," -Jamal Sowell, Student Body president. He didn't really say that, but the point is he-could have. We don't know what any of these parties are up to, with their fast-talking, shifty speeches and beady eyes. What we do know is that it takes them a year to think about maybe writing a resolution to politely ask Dr. Machen if he would consider adding some parking spaces, please. On the other hand, a SG dictator, with the unwavering support of the entire student body, would take immediate decisive action and demand that Bernie Andrew Meyer Uncommon Sense letters@aIligator.org democracy get off his ass, give up his unrealistic wet dreams about prohibition, and build us a parking lot! That's the kind of resolute action SG is lacking. Before this dictatorship can be put into place, a viable leader capable of ruling with an iron fist must be found. This person must be unflinching in his or her convictions, have a mind capable of bending others to his or her will, and preferably havethe same '70s-porn-star-style handlebar mustache that all other notable dictators have. After reviewing the criteria I just made up, I must humbly nominate myself. Your modest scribe here fills those requirements perfectly, except for the mustache part -and I'm working on that one as we speak.-Who better for Grand Emperor of this new SG than someone with a lifetime of experience telling other people what to do? If elected, I promise never to pander to the Greeks or worry about which minority groups are on my ticket. I would perform all the actions the committees I disband only talked about doing. SG would be a force for change on this campus once again. Besides, it was my idea and I thought of it first. So there. Remember all I have said as you head to the voting booth this year, all 12 of you. Vote Meyer '05, and it will be the last decision you'll ever have to make about SG while you're here.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25 2520050 ALLIGATOR, 7' BSU has acted politically before for SG Editor: Contrary to Brenda Jean's column, the Black Student Union has acted as a political organization many times. They may not take out full-page ads in the Alligator or drape banners in their office supporting a party, but BSU officers have actively campaigned for political parties in the past and are at it again. Two years ago, when Kyle Jones and Ignite won the Spring election, the BSU president and other executive officers were dancing in celebration on stage. Last year, they repeated the scene, celebrating Jamal Sowell and Access' victory. I have no doubt this year they again will be dancing on stage with the Gator Party should Joe Goldberg prove victorious. Joe Goldberg and company must have cut BSU a heck of a deal.

Also, the spaces were reserved for the Alachua County Science Fair for county middle and high school students. It is a privilege for these students to represent their schools at this level. The winners will move on to the state competition. We regret that some students were inconvenienced by the reserving of parking spots.

8, ALLIGATOR U FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2005 rks to join f rc s with Scripps research giant By STEPHANIE GARRY Alligator Staff Writer sngarry@amligator.org In late 2003, Florida and Palm Beach County landed an enormous research enterprise with $500 million as bait, promising an economic impact to rival that of Walt Disney World. Now UF is hoping to use its own facilities to bait the research giant, the Scripps Research Institute. "Scripps is a big deal for the state of Florida," said UF Vice President for Research Win Phillips, who is coordinating UF and Scripps. "We're the biggest basic biomedical research institute in Florida at the moment, and we're very happy to have Scripps be a partner." The original Scripps Research Institute, in La Jolla, Calif., employs 2,900 and studies diseases, technologies and potential drugs. Florida expects its second campus to create 6,500 jobs, add $1.6 billion to the state's revenue and attract dozens of spinoff companies. "I think the issue is what Florida might get," Phillips said, adding the state would be involved in curing diseases or discovering life-saving drugs. Earlier this week at a retreat of GENERAL NUTRITION CENTERS 25% OFF any one GNC Product Canno e combined NnedORn 3914 SW Arc her Rd o nly aaleable at Sutten Plaza loation L#_'g>-,tyoats 3-620 SE1, 3/30) Tues thru Sat 4:30pm, 7pm, 9:15pm Hippodrome Cinema 375-HIPP the university's top governing body, Phillips told the Board of Trustees that Scripps and UF are natural partners because both are biomedical research engines. In 2001, the UF Health Science Center surpassed Scripps in research dollars, and in 2003 it raked in $8.6 million more than Scripps in research awards. Though some at UF question why the state dedicated U F -so much money to %H HatCh Scripps instead of investing in UF's existing facilities, the university now is hoping the institute will collaborate with UF researchers, pull in grants together and share facilities. But first the institute must settle on a site and allow for timely construction after environmentalists challenged its first choice, a 1,920-acre farm, with lawsuits. But this week the Palm Beach County Comirdssion narrowed the three potential sites to two, a move UF officials hope is a sign of progress. "My opinion is that any decision they make is* a step forwardd" Phillips said. "The decision [on the remaining two sites] would be based on some idea of the timing. They're ready to get go-ing." For now, Florida Atlantic University is providing temporary facilities for Scripps so it can stay on-track with its hiring. FAU landed a partnership with the institute because it is the closest urdversity to the Palm Beach County site, said Art Edison, a scientist at UF's McKnight Brain Institute. FAU doesn't have nearly the research enterprise UF does, and the relationship is mostly for the sake of convenience. In some ways, the holdup has helped UF's relationship with Scripps. For one, UF's animal research facilities already are housing mice that Scripps will use for testing. However, much of the partnership will grow out of a symbiotic relationship. UF already has some stateof-the-art research facilities that Scripps may use instead of duplicating them, and Scripps is likely to build facilities UF doesn't have. Edison directs a world-class magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, facility at the McKnight institute that would cost Scripps about $20 million to reproduce, Edison said. The machines allow researchers to see the anatomy of mice without killing them, enabling them to observe the effects of drugs over time. UF is hoping to expand its facilities to include machines that allow scientists to probe the chemistry of living things. Edison hopes a larger facility will lure Scripps' interest, but first the university must find the funds. "That's something that's going to interest Scripps quite a lot," Edison said. "Space is a big problem at UP Our biggest headache is getting enough space." There's a perception that a Scripps Institute in Florida will make the state's research umiversities "obsolete," Edison said, but actually the relationship with Scripps -for better or worse -will not be the end-all for UF research. "It's rdce to have as many people as possible to work on research," he said. "They are good, but UF is good, too." At the same time, Scripps has the potential to become a competitor for research money, something UF wants to avoid through a collaborative relationship. "Scripps has always been a competitor and so is every other biomedical" facility, Phillips said, adding that competition strengthens the research enterprise, even though some may lose out. "Most of the time, it's a synergy," -he said. "My opinion is that any decision they make is a step forward. The decision [on the remaining two sites] would be based on some idea of the timing. They're ready to get going." Win Phillips UF vice president for research -s ri/c kc2C/< S'rAr/CM Tonight.

WINSLOW Alligator Writer mwinslow@aligator.org Eager to curb the number of fatalities and traffic accidents associated with Spring Break, the Florida Highway Patrol is cracking down on aggressive driving today Phase11of Operation Aggressive Concentrated Enforcement begins at 7 a.m. and is expected to end at 11 P.m. "Troopers have taken a zerotolerance stance. FHP is declaring war on the epidemic of aggressive driving and road rage," FHP spokesman Mike Burroughs said. Motorists who excessively speed, drive impaired or fail to use their seat belt will be targeted, according to an FHP report. Burroughs said the initiative is necessary due to the rise in traffic throughout the state this time of year. Florida is a prime location for tourists and college students from around the country, an influx which contributes significantly to the seasonal rise in crashes and trafficrelated deaths, Burroughs said. "If you couple everything together, and you look at the epidemic we have Burroughs now in Florida and across the nation -aggressive driving and road rage. the need for aggressive enforcement on those who are turning our highways into hazardous arenas is obvious," Burroughs said. Perkins cut in Bush budget PERKINS, from page 1 By accruing interest through investments, the endowment would eventually provide grants to students and would be selfsustaining, Fooks said. "Rather than taking the money and dumping it into the Pell Grant, which may never get back to UF students, we think it makes sense to create a grant program," she said. Some UF students already receive FSEOG grants. Up until the 2005 fiscal year, $75,000 to $85,000 of the federal funding for Perkins Loans were transferred each year into the grant program. And additional $1.5 million of federal funding makes up the rest of FSEOG's budget. Fooks hopes to pair those funds with the money received from UF students paying off their Perkins Loans, which adds up to approximately $4 million annually. A larger grant program would be more beneficial to UF students than a continuation of the Perkins program, Fooks said, adding that she plans to garner interest from Florida legislators. Rep. Ric Keller, a Republican who represents Orange County, does not support any cuts to the Perkins program, including those outlined in Bush's' budget, his spokesman Bryan Malenius said. "We'd love to see students getting through school without big student loans." Bryan Malenius spokesman for Rep. Ric Keller However, Malenius also said Keller would rather see students get grants than loans, as he paid for college through the Pell Grant program. "We'd love to see students getting through school without big student loans," he said. The National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators has included Fooks' idea in its proposal for the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act. In the next year, several versions of the act may be proposed,.Fooks said. Dean looks into meeting laws COURT,from page1ately as a judicial body. But Zdziarski said the lack of notice is "something that we're gonna have to look at." He added that he would look into the court's reasons for the denial as well as the applicability of the state's open-meeting laws in hopes of having the issue resolved as quickly as possible. UF General Counsel Pam Bernard said while she was unfamiliar with the facts of the case, she would contact Vice President of Student Affairs Patricia TellesIrvin. State Attorney's Office spokesman Spencer Mann said he was unfamiliar with the specifics of the court's meeting and a complaint would have to be filed with the body governing the court before any action could be taken.

BASEBALL McMahon: Rhode Island offers unique challenge By TIM CASEY Alligator Writer trasey@aIIigator.org With the Miami series in the rearview mirror, the UF baseball team is preparing for its conference schedule by hosting three non-conference teams during Spring Break. The Gators play Rhode Island tonight, providing the Rams with their first game of the season. The No. 12 Gators (6-2) will employ the same starting rotation as last weekend. Junior right-hander Alan Horne (0-0), boasting a 3.75 ERA with 10 strikeouts, will start against Rhode Island senior right-hander Dan Frederick. Bryan Ball (1-0) will oppose Rams junior left-hander Zach Zuercher on Saturday, while UF senior Tommy Boss (1-0) is scheduled to face sophomore right-hander Steve Holmes on Sunday. Frederick was a second-team All-Atlantic 10 Conference selection last year, while Zuercher was the Atlantic 10 Pitcher of the Year in 2004 with an 8-3 record and a 2.82 ERA. His 123 strikeouts shattered the Rhode Island record. "Rhode Island presents some unique and interesting challenges," UF coach Pat "We'll work longer and harder in the off week. We can utilize time because of demands not being placed on them in the classroom." Pat McMahon UF baseball coach McMahon said.'"A lot of times, teams like Northern ball clubs that come down here to play .can be a really solid club. It will be a good series." Second baseman Adam Davis agrees. "They have an All-American on the mound, and all three of their starting pitchers are returning guys," he said. "It's a junior and senior team with a lot of leadership, so it should bea good challenge for us." Davis went 3 for 5 with three runs and two RBIs against Florida A&M on Tuesday. While Rhode Island will halt UF's plans this weekend, Mercer and Villanova will keep the Gators busy throughout Spring Break. "We'll work longer and harder in the off week," McMahon said. "We can utilize time because of demands not being placed on them in the classroom." E GYMNASTS' SPRING BREAK INCLUDES L.A. TRIP. By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer doeat@alligator.org What are you doing on your Spring Break? While many UF students will spend the next week sipping frozen drinks on a beach in some exotic locale, the No. 6 Gators gymnastics team will be indoors prepping for a pair of non-conference meets. UF has three competitions within the coming week, starting with the Southeastern Conference regular season finale* against Kentucky tonight. Despite the lack of activity on campus in the coming week, the Gators will try to maintain an even keel. "We try to keep it as much the same as we can," co-captain Samantha Lutz said. "We might do team functions where we'll go on a walk together or something just to get us up and moving, but as far as practice goes, it doesn't change much." But don't feel too sorry for UF's apparent lack of Spring Break excitement. The Gators travel to Salt Lake City to face No. 4 Utah, California and Stanford a week from today, and to Los Angeles to face the No. 2 Bruins on March 6. "UCLA and Utah especially are two teams that we would love to beat," Lutz said. "We've been training hard the last couple weeks, probably more for preparing for next weekend than this weekend or the weekend before." Senior Orley Szmuch will likely return from her injury next week to compete on both uneven bars and beam. Meanwhile, .sophomore Savannah Evans will return to uneven bars after sitting out the event last week with the flu. The gymnasts view this week as a time to both prepare and recharge their batteries. "Obviously gymnastics is the most important thing right now," Lutz said. "And as much as we'd like to be able to get away, sometimes it's nice to get some down time to have a break." 1718 W. Univ.

ALLIGATOR FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2005 www.alligatorSports.org Onslaught oftop-25 teams awaits Gatorsm"n meet By CHUCK BAER Alligator Writer For UF's track and field athletes, spring break doesn't start with a trip to the beach or with the boarding of a cruise ship. It starts with a 1,000-mile trip to Fayetteville, Ark., for the Southeastern Conference Indoor Championships. The No. 3 men's team and No. 5 women's team plan on defending last year's first-place titles against some of the best track and field teams in the country. "We're in Arkansas' back yard," men's coach Mike Holloway said. "We respect them as always, and we'll go out and do what we always do." The men, who face five teams in the top 25, will be led by sophomore Mike Morrison in the high and long jumps. Top sprinters include senior Kyle Farmer, junior Sekou Clarke and sophomore Kerron Clement. Senior Steve Zieminski will handle distance running. "I think I'll do well," said Morrison, who ranks second in Morrison the SEC in the high jump and first in the long jump. "There's amazing competition in our conference." Josh Walker enters the meet ranked second in the conference in the 60-meter hurdles and sixth in the 200-meter dash. "There's a lot of great competition in the SEC," the junior said. "But I feel that if I go in and execute my race and do what I need to do, then I'll be a very hard person to beat." The women's team faces six ranked teams: Louisiana State, Tennessee, Auburn, South Carolina, Georgia and Arkansas. "We'll have to have a realB, really outstanding meet," women's coach Tom Jones said. "And we have the ability to do it." The women's team will be defending its fifth SEC title, the third in Jones' 13 years at UF. The throwing section looks to score big, with seniors Liz SEE TRACK, PAGE 20 inus Mosby, 'awgs annihilate UF By MICHAEL MAURINO Alligator Writer mmaurina@aiigataraorg No Bernice Mosby, no chance. Playing without Mosby, its leading scorer, UP was trounced by No. 18 Georgia, 63-38. The Gators (14-12, 5-8 Southeastern Conference) will likely need to upset No. 1 Louisiana State on Sunday and play well in the SEC Tournament to get an NCAA Tournament invite. The Gators led 25-22 at halftime, but in the second half, their game was gone. So was Mosby. The junior participated in the pre-game shootaround but spent the first half in Women's Basketball warm-ups on the end of Georgia 63 the bench. When UF came UF 38 out for the second half, she was gone altogether. Until Thursday, the forward had started every game, averaging 15.5 points per game. Coach Carolyn Peck talked delicately about the situation, but hinted that Mosby's absence resulted from more than an argument. "Bernice didn't start the game today because of a violation of team rules," Peck said. "Then, at halftime, 4 he had to take care of some personal issues." The final 20 minutes ended up being the lowestscoring in Gators history. Managing just 13 points, they made only three of 22 shots in the second period. UF shot 30.4 percent overall. Peck said UF's missed chances contributed' to Georgia's 41-point second half. In the second half, when Georgia went to their zone, the shots we normally hit just didn't fall," she said. "I think that affected us defensively. It takes the wind out of your sails a little bit when you're not making shots." junior forward Brittany Davis did her best to fill the void Mosby left, scoring 13 points. She said the second half will be a lesson for the team. Matt Marriott/ Alligator Staff "There's really no excuse," Davis said. "We need to UF forward Brittany Davis clutches the basketball during a 63-38 learn from that and just keep continuing to press on."

They will be timed, measured, tested, interviewed and probably even mercilessly probed by the brass of the NFL. The mere mention of the word Wonderlic makes potential draftees shudder. And while you will have every opportuity to make up for the fact that you took your test hung over (or was that still drunk?), these guys only have one shot. Don't think it's that important?

10, ALLIGATOR M FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2005 BASKETBALL Postseason juices flowing against South Carolina By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org When deciding where to gallivant about in a half-naked decadent stupor during the im>ending Spring Break, you may considerr Panama City, Daytona, >r f'r the truly exotic, Cancun or \Iassau. But for the Gators -whether hey like it or not -Spring Break ticks off with a Wild On the Bible Belt excursion. The Gators (17-7, 9-4 Southeastern Conference) will attempt to solidify a prominent postseason standing with a threegame season-closing stretch, beginning at South Carolina on Sunday. UF will follow up Sunday's game with a Georgia showdown on Wednesday before returning to the O'Conrell Center for a March 6 season finale against No. 5 Kentucky. With a -win against the Gamecocks (14-10, 6-7 SEC), the Gators would clinch the division's No. 2 spot and a first-round bye in March's conference tournament. Going by prior records, perhaps UF is Donovan all but a lock. The Gators have claimed eight consecutive victories and won 12 of the last 13 against the Gamecocks, yet Coach Billy Donovan knows they're a dangerous group. "They're a basketball team that came in here and played an unbelievable second half and shot the ball well behind the 3-point line," Donovan said. The Gators overcame a 38.5 percent second-half shooting slump to grind out the win. "We have not been able to get over the hump against them, and they won both those games," said Gamecocks coach Dave Odom. "So we'll be looking to reverse that trend." With a Kentucky showdown looming and an opportunity to improve NCAA Tournament seeding, junior guard Anthony Roberson stressed that this is no time for complacency. "We've got to play hard every time out," Roberson said. "This isn't the time to breathe easy. We've got to keep playing big." High-ranked men's and women's teams to defend championship titles TRACK, from page 19 Nanless, Candice Scott and Scarlett Ekeroma competing in the shot put. Scott Non the weight throw in 2004 and currenty holds the NCAA record in the event. One athlete is particularly excited about the trip to Fayetteville. "I feel that even though we have a really young team this year, we're going to surprise a lot of people and be right there in the mix to actually win," high-jumper Krystle Moss said. The senior holds the SEC's best mark this season with a jump of 5 feet, 10.75 inches, and is favored to win her final SEC Indoor Championship meet. "I'm excited," Moss said. "I feel like we've always done really well and I don't feel that anything is going to change that. It will be sad once it's all over 'at the end, but right now I'm just enjoying it." Jones was cautiously optimistic about the Gators' chances. "In this conference, if you're in the hunt here, you're in the hunt nationally," he said. "This conference is so competitive. Maybe 13 will be my lucky number?" UF scores record-low 13 points in half BASKETBALL, from page 19 Seniors Tishona Gregory, Tashia Morehead md Tamia Williams were honored before the game. Gregory was held scoreless on five shots, while Williams had 2 points. Morehead Led the team with 14. If the Gators struggled from the field in the second half, they could barely graze the rim from behind the 3-point line. Hitting 40 percent of their 3-point shots, they were tops in the SEC prior to facing 'eorgia. Their one-of-13 performance against the Bulldogs was a very different story. Had Mosby played, UF might have apitalized. Georgia's leading scorer, Tasha Humphrey, missed the game due to disciplinary reasons. Georgia coach Andy Landers said Humphrey will get a "clean slate," but Peck wouldsnot give a similar vote of confidence for Mosby. "I [do not] know anything past tonight," Peck said. The Gators are now 0-7 against ranked opponents and probably face their toughest challenge Sunday at LSU. Considering Mosby's disciplinary situation and an all-butlost NCAA Tournament berth, UF clearly has plenty to think about. However, Peck has not concerned herself with UF's chances of making the field of 64. "I'm not worried about that right now," she said. "I'm worried about getting this team prepared to go to Baton Rouge." S HAF from page 19 There will be blasts from the past (remember Maurice Clarett and Adrian McPherson?), underclassmen and "workout warriors" all trying to prove they belong. Oh, and there will be former Gators there, too. Linebacker Chanring Crowder will be looking to show scoutsthat he is the best inside linebacker prospect in the draft. We've seen what he can do on the field, but Crowder will have to face relentless questioning about his off-thefield troubles. It will be in the interviewing process where Crowder could watch his stock either fall or soar because of the dreaded "character issues." Then there is the talented and squeaky-clean Ciatrick Fason, who will be wearing No. 30 at the combine if you'd like to look for him. Some questions that C-4 will be forced to answer: is he durable enough? Can he block well enough? Is he fast enough? Careers are born or death-sentenced at the RCA Dome. How's that for stress? Now if you'll excuse ne, they're doing shots up at the bar. qAN -Mouthwatering BBQ Breakfast Specials syniaFine Wine & 3AF UE -EBeer ga~y FL -Catering (.1M.')4 66 i.'
