STUDENT GOVERNMENT ELECTIONS


Name war deliberate


By BRIDGET CAREY
Alligator Staff Writer
bcarey@alligator.org

The Impact Party's early campaign-naming
troubles were caused by an organized effort by
Greek and Florida Blue Key members to confuse
and discourage voters familiar with the party's
former name, Access, an Alligator investigation
discovered.
Several members of the Greek community
and FBK schemed to hijack the Access, Keg, and
Ignite party names and use them to mislead
students and benefit the Gator Party during the
Student Government election, according to a
highly active FBK member.
Regardless of the anonymous accusation, the
students who signed paperwork to claim the
parties' names share various connections be-
tween them. They are friends, neighbors, Delta
Upsilon Fraternity brothers, and two even share
a romantic bond the presidents of the Keg and


Gator parties.
Those involved in setting up the parties deny
any scheming and say the connections between
them are purely coincidental.
FBK Speaker's Bureau Coordinator and for-
mer student body president Marc Adler, along
with former FBK Gator
Growl Producer and for-
mer Delta Upsilon house
leader Pedro "Peter"
Election Allende, are among the
[I^I handful of students in-
volved with overseeing
and organizing this political tactic tk.oilp the
Gator Party win, according to the s.'oii;e
The source said that Adler and Allende are
FBK presidential hopefuls, and if they can make
deals to help the Gator Party win, then they have
a better chance of being elected president of one
of the most powerful student organizations at

VP reorganizes SG


By STEPHANIE GARRY

The administrative arm that serves
students outside of the classroom will
undergo an overhaul this semester
that will place oversight of Student
Government into the hands of an
honorary member of Florida Blue
Key, in a decision-making process
that was absent student input.
Vice President for Student Affairs
Patricia Telles-Irvin announced over
Spring Break a reorganization of
the division that will change who
supervises Greek Life, the Office of
Community Service and SG.
The organization is aimed at


improving the division's ability to
provide students with. educational
opportunities, such as leadership
and service, outside of the classroom,
Telles-Irvin said.
A new Center
7for Leadership and
Service will serve
as an umbrella
for the Office of
Commu nity
Service.
Lohse Beeland,
director of student
activities, will serve
as the SG adviser. Beeland, whose of-
fice is located across the hall from SG,'

Four candidates

in student race

By NEIL HUGHES
Alligator Writer
nh'ughes@alligator.org

Candidates for Student Body
treasurer touted their experience
and argued how best to manage the
students' money at the first of four
executive-ticket debates Monday.
Impact candidate Michelle
Lightboume emphasized her expe-
rience as president of the Benton
Engineering Council and her re-
sponsibility over its finances.
Justin Lauer, an engineering ma-
jor on the Voice ticket, questioned
Lightboume's performance in
that position, pointing out that the
group's finance reports showed no
money allocated for the Engineering
Fair.
"I am a little disappointed in the
way she put the budget together,"
Lauer said. "She made it more dif-
ficult for engineers."
Lightboume said in an interview


after the debate that the financial
reports were standardized for all
student organizations, meaning
specific events were no longer listed
as expenditures. Some events, like
the Engineering Fair, still remain
funded within broad categories that
also are reported on the same paper-
work, Lightboume said.

"I am a little disappointed
in the way she (Michelle
Lightbourne) put the bud-
get together. She made
it more difficult for engi-
neers."
Justin Lauer
Voice Party treasurer candidate

"We actually have money for the
E-Fair, so don't worry about that,"
Lightboume said at the debate.
Progress' Susan Henriques re-
peatedly mentioned her experience
in the Student Government Finance
Office.

Proposed Chinese law may lay groundwork for Taiwan attack
A proposed Chinese anti-secession law would authorize Beijing
to take military action to stop rival Taiwan from pursuing formal
independence if other efforts fail, a leader of China's parliament
said Tuesday.
Beijing claims Taiwan, split from China since 1949, as part of
its territory. The communist mainland repeatedly has threatened to
invade if Taiwan tries to make its independence permanent.
The new law wouldn't impose any new conditions or make new
threats.
But it lays out for the first time the legal requirements for taking
military action.


On Wednesday,
Student Body
presidential candi-
dates will debate
in the Reitz Union.

Transit head resigns '1-1 an


Logan's last

day March 25
By MEGAN V. WINSLOW
Alligator Writer
mwinslow@alligator.org
After five years of service,
Gainesville's Regional Transit
Service Director Jeff Logan, respon-
sible for aiding in the expansion of
RTS by 136 buses and creating more
than 100 new jobs, announced plans
to resign Monday.
Logan accepted the position- of
regional vice president for another
transit company and will leave RTS
on March 25.
"The mark of any good leader
is to leave behind an organization
that has competent leadership
throughout its ranks, and I think
Mr. Logan has certainly accom-
plished that," Gainesville's Interim
Public Information Officer Bob
Woods said during a phone inter-
view Monday evening.
Logan's new duties will include
providing management and ser-
vice to clients on a national level,
according to a city manager press
release.
"It is understandable that a com-
pany in private industry would ac-

tively seek out Jeff to become a part
of their management team," said
Barbara Lipscomb, interim city
manager. "He has been a tremen-
dous leader. We sincerely wish him
well and will miss him."
Logan is also credited with add-
ing a degree of professionalism to
the RTS program.
"RTS is held up as an example
of what transit should be in com-
munities around the country," said
Teresa Scott, former public works
director and current interim assis-
tant city manager. "I wish [Logan]
the best as he takes on this new
challenge."
Woods agreed.
"He leaves behind an organiza-
tion that is well-poised to move
forward in the future," he said.
Logan's leadership also is cred-
ited with bringing innovative ap-
proaches to transit technology.
In 2002, RTS added two hybrid
buses to its fleet. Purchased with
the help of a federal grant, the
buses run on a combination of bat-
tery power and fuel.
"Mr. Logan was an exceptional
leader for the RTS system," Woods
said. "His management abilities
will be surely missed."
An interim director will be
appointed prior to Logan's de-
parture.

Soaking up more than sun


Group gets hands

dirty with algae

By JEFF SIRMONS
Alligator Writer
jsirmons@alligator.org

KEY LARGO Hidden on Transylvania
Street not visible from U.S. Highway 1 is
a place where whale bones hang from the
ceiling and sunblock is stored by the milk
crate. Four female UF students journeyed
to this MarineLab in Key Largo over Spring
Break not to relax and sunbathe but to study
algae.
The 4000-level botany class the students
enrolled in was intended to introduce them
to the life of algae, but in the process, the
students learned much-more.
"I had ice cream without agar (a sub-
stance derived from algae) once in east
Europe, and there were ice crystals all over
the ice cream," said professor Joseph Davis,
who has studied algae for more than 45
years. "Not very pleasant."
"Everyone should have their favor-
ite algae."
SJoseph Davis
UF professor

The journey through the Florida Keys en-
tailed 11 hours of cold and wind, and a second
day of snorkeling under a sunless sky. Despite
the nippy weather, Davis remained chipper,
jumping out of the UF van at each stop like a
puppy ready for his walk. Davis could barely
hold in his anticipation to see the seaweed.
"No matter what the conditions, he gets
excited about seaweed," UF student Olga
Bernstyn said after the three-day field trip.
"That man's crazy about algae."
On the first stop of the trip, in Long Key,
the students followed Davis, 76, who eagerly
leaned over controlled ponds, searching for
new types of algae. He spotted 17 types but
did not find his favorite, Heterosiphonia,
a red algae he calls "the most beautiful of
all."
"Everyone should have their favorite
algae," he said.
Marilia Dinamarco, whose favorite is
Valonia, a green algae she says "looks like
water balloons," could not help but be occa-


sionally distracted by the animal life on the
marine preserve, which included sharks, sea
urchins and blowfish.
Ben Olaivar, who, despite being a part of
UF's zoology department, assisted with the
trip, went about his own way gathering up
sea squirts, Cassiopeia (a type of jellyfish)
and other small marine life to bring back
to UF for zoology students to study, but he
was often joined by students who needed, a
respite from Davis' non-stop algae fascina-
tion.
"It's really good that he came because
he gives us a free lesson on marine zool-
ogy, as well as a break from all the weed,"
Dinamarco joked.
The foursome accompanied Davis
around the keys, soaking up as much algae
.information as they possibly could.
"Bostrychia can survive any type of
salinity. That's Boss-trick-E-uh," he said di-
dactically so the students would not forget
it. "During high tide, they love the normal
salinity of the water and during no tide, all
the water evaporates, leaving just the salt,
which they somehow love, and then when it
rains, all the water washes all the salt away,
leaving them fresh, which they still love. It's
amazing how they can live through any-
thing and just flourish. Boss-trick-E-uh."
The foursome proved it was capable of
surviving many conditions as well, remain-
ing positive for most of the trip.
"I knew this trip would be good when
I saw the girls had made their own algae
shirts," Olaivar said. "Students make or
break this trip, and I'm glad these students
kept a good attitude."
All four women had homemade shirts
representing a type of algae and usually
expressed joy when one of their types of
algae was found. Bernstyn's favorite alga
is nicknamed the mermaid's wineglass, as
it resembles an underwater inverted mush-
room, she said.
"I can just see the little mermaids sipping
from the algae cup," she smiled.
As research for UF, Davis has advised
corporations on how to extract the salt from
seawater using algae in every continent ex-
cept Antarctica.
"Making salt from seawater is like cook-
ing it down in a pot," he said: "However, it's
more complex than that, because there are so
many other unpleasant things in seawater
that-you have to filter out."
He also has been known to turn against
algae, advising the manufacturers on how to

about starfish while she strays away from her lesson on algae.


get rid of its undesirable appearances.
"It's business, not personal," Davis
quipped.
The more enthusiastic the students be-
came for seaweed, the more they found they
enjoyed the trip,


"This was more fun-than I thought it
would be, and surprisingly, I'm remem-
bering the seaweed names because I see
them so often. Guys aren't going to date
anyone this enthusiastic about seaweed,
though," Dinamarco said.

Alcohol again an issue with wine tasting, bar incidents


By EMILY YEHLE
Alligator Writer
eyehle@alligator.org

A wine-tasting fundraiser turned sour when an intoxicated
woman clawed and kicked a University Police. officer as he es-
corted her out of the Reitz Union on Feb. 27, reports show.
The incident occurred amid efforts by university officials
to curb student drinking, emphasized more than a month ago
when UF's president prohibited alcohol sponsorship of some
events, and just following a reported Feb. 25 sexual battery af-.
ter the taping of a beer-drinking reality show near campus.
About 600 people convened to taste over 300 wines as part of
the 16th annual "A Celebration of Wine," a fundraiser for UF's
public radio stations, WUFT-FM, or Classic 89, and WJUF-FM,
or Nature Coast 90. The woman, 26-year-old Jennifer Clafin, is
a UF bioscientisf, according to UPD records.
"This is the first time anything has happened in 16 years,"
said Sue Wagner, director of communication at WUFT and co-
founder of the event.
University and city officials met Feb. 16 to discuss how to
curb student alcohol abuse through environmental factors on
campus and surrounding areas.
However, administrators,have yet to make.a decision on


how to handle this situation, Machen wrote in an e-mail.
"We have asked that the organizers consider other venues
for future events, but no decision has-been made," Machen
wrote.
Clafin reportedly became belligerent af-
ter several wine distributors refused to pour
her any more alcohol, Wagner said.
Despite the problem, the event was
a success and probably pulled in about
$40,000, said co-founder Wade Tyler, whose
Wine and Cheese Gallery co-sponsors the
event.
Machen With officers patrolling the event and
checking identification at the door and with
pour restrictors on every wine bottle, the event organizers took
all precautions necessary, said Mike Mironack, interim director
of the Reitz Union and member of the public radio station's
board of directors.
"They cuther off. When she wasn't taking it that well, she
caused a scene, and UPD stepped in and escorted her," he said.
"As far as the event is concerned, things worked as they were
supposed to."
Isolated incidents can't dictate university policy, said.Tavis
Glassman, coordhiator for alcohol and other drug prevention


for UF's GatorWell Health Promotion Services.
"I've never heard of a wine-tasting event getting out of
hand," he said, later adding, "I think because the university
had proper supervision, it sounds like they are handling it as
appropriately as can be expected.".GatorWell's recent survey
showed that about 73 percent of underage UF students drink
and prompted administrators to study the problem.
In incidents such as the outburst at the fundraiser, the uni-
versity has to weigh its options, Glassman said.
"One issue is we want to provide a forum where students
and adults can drink responsibly," he said. "The other issue is
we want to reduce access to alcohol."
Two days before the wine tasting, a 20-year-old female UF
student reportedly was dragged up five flights of stairs during
a rape attempt following the taping of the MTV show, "Reality
Bar Crawl" at The Grog House.
Her alleged assailant, Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity member
Huang Wei Chiu, was.charged with sexual battery and sus-
pended from the fraternity. Both the attacker and the victim
attended the show's taping.
Glassman said he couldn't say whether the reality show fit
into the environmental factors that affect student drinking and
violence but said that environments with easy access to alcohol
are associatedwithmore violent crime:

Editorial


Set straight

The Alligator presents an

open letter to the Greeks
In the past, the Alligator Opinions section has at times been
unrelentingly harsh in its criticism of the Greek community.
Editorial cartoonist Andy Marlette in particular had a field
day with SG politics last year- though we won't deny that
we feel it was warranted. Unfortunately, this means that when
we try to praise them for doing something good this semes-
ter- such as Marlette's cartoon on their tsunami aid drive it
is misinterpreted as being negative.
In order for us to clear the air, we would-like to offer this
open letter the Greek community:
Listen, we do not think that you operate collectively as a
monolithic, fascist conglomeration that solely makes decisions
on a hive-mind basis. We don't think all Greek organizations are
the same, or that they all participate equally in any incidences of
wrongdoing. It may seem that way, because our editorials and
cartoons tend to emphasize the problems we see, but it is not.
We also, however, do not believe for a moment that you are
being truthful when you tell us that nothing fishy is going on.
We know that some house leaders coerce their members to
vote for particular parties, we know there are some SG positions
being promised in exchange for support and we know that
there is more of this going on than we have reported.
Because of the many concerned readers who tell us about
these questionable activities, however, we can't ignore them.
Greeks, of course, insist they are individuals, not puppets of
the system. But if you want to be seen as individuals, you have
to act like individuals. If you see something wrong, speak out. If
you don't agree with your house members, stand up to them.
So all we're asking is for you to level with us. If you don't
want to be cast in a negative light, work to eradicate the prac-
tices are causing people to take issue with your organizations.
When it comes to SG elections, it's OK if a fraternity or soror-
ity wants to openly endorse a particular party or candidate. We
know that Greeks are people too, and they have the same rights
to hold political beliefs as any other student.
But there is a line between what support is appropriate and
what is not. Luckily for you, though, the "line" is more like a
gigantic landing strip with big flashing lights surrounding it.
For instance, this is an acceptable thing for a fraternity or
sorority leader to say to their members: "As your leader, I think
it's important that you get involved in SG. I also think that you
should support (some candidate) for (some office) because (he/
she) is the best for the job."
On the other hand, this an unacceptable thing to say: "You
are going to vote for (some party). If we don't see your 'I voted'
sticker on the chart by tomorrow, you can pick up your stuff off
the lawn on your way out of the house." '
Obviously that is a dramatization, but we think you under-
stand where we're going with it.
Similarly, give us a break on the legacy positions. If there
only was a slightly disproportionate number of Greeks in SG,
and particularly in positions of high influence, we could believe
claims that this simply is because fraternity and sorority mem-
bers are more likely to be active and interested in SG.
And we won't say that they aren't. But when we have posi-
tions being filled 13 times out of 16 by the same fraternity, we,
can't give you that much credit. No organization has the unique
ability to produce exactly the most qualified candidate nearly
every single year not for Accent, and not for any of the other
positions that are treated the same way.
If you don't quite get the point, Greek community members,
it's that you have to make some attempt to stop these things
from happening if you are to get rid of this public image.
If we see an effort in good faith on your part, we'll offer the
same in return.

Guest column.

Graduate assistants need to speak up


ost in the recent discussion over the appropriate level
of student participation in what counts as university
"politics" is the fact that Student Government has a
very real hold over health insurance for graduate teaching
and research assistants. SG appoints members to the health
insurance board that receives competitive bids for the stu-
dent health care plan. The UF administration offers a sub-
sidy to graduate assistants with the student health care plan
contracted through Scarborough Insurance Company. All
indications point to an increase in premium rates of up to
15 percent without a significant increase in coverage for the
2005-06 academicyear. Because the student health care plan
does not meet the needs of the vast majority of graduate
employees at this university, Graduate Assistants United,
the labor union that represents those employees, insists that
any health plan provided by our employers be delinked
from the student health plan. Until then, I call on graduate
teaching and research assistants to closely scrutinize the
health care platform of all candidates in the SG election.
Let me begin with these two premises: Firstly, graduate
teaching assistants teach more than 40 percent of the under-
graduate classes at this university; secondly, graduate re-
search assistants do more than 50 percent of the research at
this university. Graduate TAs and RAs, already recognized
as workers by the state of Florida, are quite literally what
makes UF work. As such, we are in fundamentally different
positions than the vast majority of the student body at UF,
and any attempt to lop GAs into a student plan belittles our
contribution to UF as workers.
For dozens of years, Graduate Assistants United has
publicly maintained that the work conditions for graduate
assistants at UF has had a detrimental effect on UF's aca-
demic competitiveness: the minimum stipend for a gradu-


Todd Reynolds ate assistant ranks among the lowest
Speaking Out in the nation, and until last year, our
employers did not offer to help allevi-
ate the cost of health insurance.
As long as UF persists in offering a student-, not em-
ployee-, based plan designed for those younger than 25, UF
will not be competitive in this very important field.
Because the current health package offered to the gradu-
ate workers here is negotiated through SG, I echo the nu-
merous calls for increased participation in the SG electoral
process. Specifically, graduate assistants should demand
that candidates take a position on how to address health
care for graduate labor. For instance, where do candidates
stand on premium hikes based on a graduate assistant's
age? How can UF offer a plan that increases coverage
without being cost prohibitive to a graduate assistant who
makes a stipend of only $7,400 per academic year?
Just as importantly, though, SG elections cannot be the
sole means of participating in the everyday politics of the
university. Graduate assistants in particular need to stand
together to continue to apply pressure to UF's administra-
tion to meet its obligation to provide a living wage and ad-
equate, affordable health care to the employees that make
this university work. In this vein, Graduate Assistants
United will continue to insist on its legal right to negotiate
into the collective bargaining agreement of all employee
benefits health insurance included. While SG elections
are a key event to promoting a university culture that val-
ues our worth, safeguarding our rights in our workspace
needs to be an activity that happens every day in the life of
a graduate worker, not just once a semester.
Todd Reynolds is co-president of Graduate Assistants
United.

Gators, fans were denied fair celebration
Editor: After I camped out for 24 hours
with other die-hard Gators fans waiting to see
Kentucky go down, the Gators delivered. But
despite their efforts to upset the third-ranked
team in the country and end a losing streak to
an arch rival, their own athletic director cheat-
ed them. A man who loves to get praise when
UF athletics do well hid behind the guise of


student safety to save UF $5,000. It's tradi-
tion to storm the floor after a major victory,
and Jeremy Foley and the University Police
Department cheated the students, players,
David Lee and UF of a moment that wasn't
theirs to take away.

nating against conservative faculty, asking for
"a place for open debate, where all ideas can
be heard." He also stated he would limit fund-
ing to UF for hiring a director of Lesbian, Gay,

to Baxley, "open debate" only applies to those
ideas that deny the rights of those he disagrees
with. Baxley's moral values are not threatened

Personal connections unearthed between competing SG parties


SG, from page 1


But Allende, who applied as Ignite's party
president, said he does not intend to pursue
the FBK presidency and did not set up his
party with intentions of aiding Gator by con-
fusing students.
Adler could not be reached for comment.

Connecting the dots
The Gator Party President and former
Student Sen. Michael Schuster is dating
Lauren Mauer, also a former senator, who
filed paperwork to be president of the Keg
party. Both are FBK members.
Richard Yan is listed as the Keg party trea-
surer applicant, and is a fellow Delta Upsilon
fraternity brother with both students who ap-
plied to start Ignite.
Yan was a fellow varsity Wellington High
School debate team member with fraternity
brother and Ignite party treasurer applicant
Darren Goldman, according to the Palm Beach
Post.
Yan and Goldman also played on the same
ultimate Frisbee team in 2003, according to
www.mattmazur.com.
Ignite's president, Allende, is neighbors
and good friends with FBK member Michael
Shine, the Access Party's president. Shine and
Allende worked together at Gator Growl.
They also visit each other's neighboring apart-
ments to play "Halo 2" together.
Shine has no ties with the Student Body
President Jamal Sowell's Access Party. He has
previously said he could better represent the
name Access and registered the name to pre-
vent current Access members from using it.

FBK prides neutrality
FBK President Brian Roof said that not
only does the leadership organization make it
a priority to keep separate from SG and pun-


ishes political deals, but accusations that they
control who wins elections are "completely
absurd."
"The vast majority of members in Florida
Blue Key frown upon that activity and
wouldn't be a part of it," Roof said.
The process to become an FBK member or
officer requires a series of checks and balances,
Roof explained, and although a possibility ex-
ists that someone could falsely influence oth-
ers with temptations of FBK power, he has not
heard any complaints about members making
the accused political deals.
"I can tell you three-fourths of the member-
ship could care less who wins (the election),"
Roof said.
Roof said that if the group uncovers any
corruption, the member would then be re-
moved from FBK.
"It's a shame that Florida Blue Key is
always brought up," he said, adding that its
members are naturally active in many school
functions, such as SG.

Innocence proclaimed
Gator's Schuster said he had nothing to do
with his girlfriend, Mauer, signing up the Keg
Party, and that he had no knowledge of it until
afterward. Mauer also said Schuster knew
nothing of her plans and emphasized her in-
dependence from the Gator president.
She said she submitted the Keg's applica-
tion with intentions notto run the party in the
election because she thought the name Keg
was a "disgrace" to SG and didn't want to see
it used. She said her actions would not have
affected the Gator Party, which she boasts sup-
port for in her thefacebook.com profile.
Yan, Goldman and Shine did not return
phone calls over a two-day period.

Parties never approved
The three party applications were never
finalized due to incomplete information, ac-


Web of 'coincidences'


For competing SG insiders, this election's
a party: only one of these four registered
parties actually slated candidates.


*This social-network analysis not scientific

cording to the Student Activities Center.
By only filling out the initial form, the
party names were reserved but steps were
never completed for approval by the February
deadline.
The two students who applied to start
Ignite were denied in January because they
did not meet qualifications to start an organi-
zation, SAC officials said. The SAC would not
disclose the reason for.the denial citing a pos-
sible relation to private student records.


Gator candidate reacts
"The Gator Party has no involvement in
any registering of any parties," said Gator
presidential candidate Joe Goldberg.
He said he did not think the creation of so
many parties was to confuse students or dis-
courage voters to benefit his party.
When asked if it is fair for students to ques-
tion personal connections between competing
parties; Goldberg replied, "each person is their
own person."


Lack of discussion irks SG candidates

is much closer to the organization's activities than
Dean of Students Gene Zdziarski, whose offices in
Peabody Hall.
Telles-Irvin told the Student Body executive board
of the changes but did not include them in the plan-
ning.
"I included them as I was letting them know what
my decisions were," Telles-Irvin said, adding that she
notified SG and Greek leaders. "At that point the de-
cision was made, but they were informed."
Everyone at the meeting including Student
Body President Jamal Sowell, Vice President Jennifer
Puckett, Treasurer Dennis Ngin, Student Senate
President Bryson Ridgway and Diane Kassim.
- seemed to be on board, Telles-Irvin said.
Sowell and Ngin said that Telles-Irvin should
have used student input, but agreed that the changes
will benefit SG.
"I do expect a lot of concern that I want to take
up with Dr. Telles-Irvin with the decision being told
to us," said Ngin, who is running for Student Body
president. "There should have been more open com-
munication, at least between Student Body President
Jamal [Sowell] and her."
Other Student Body presidential candidates were
more critical of students' exclusion from the decision-
making process.
MacKenzie Moritz of the Progress Party said the
incident shows how student input needs to find a
real voice in UF's administration.
"There should have been a lot more public discus-
sion on this," Moritz said. "No one really knew about
it until it was over."
Because the decision will affect students, they


should have had a seat at the-table, said Joe Goldberg,
presidential candidate for the Gator Party.
"While I think the changes makes sense,"
Goldberg said, "it was brought upon us very fast,
and I don't think that's the best way to go."
Beeland will become the official adviser to SG
after the Student Body elections. In 2004, she was in-
ducted as an honorary member into Florida Blue Key,
a leadership honorary proven in court during the '90s
to have an inordinate amount of influence over SG,
but Telles-Irvin and officials involved in the organiza-
tions said there will be no conflict of interest
"I think Lohse Beeland is an excep-
Student tional professional," Telles-Irvin said.
Life "That's not a concern."
The new set-up will be "natural"
for the Office of Student Activities because it already
neighbors SG, Beeland said.
"The University of Florida was an anomaly in
having the dean's office do it," Beeland said, adding
that SG officials regularly seek advice from Student
Activities. "It's not unusual at all for us. It's a role that
we're pretty comfortable with."
In addition to the change in SG oversight, Telles-
Irvin created two new positions. Director of Student
Development and External Affairs, Myra Morgan
will oversee Greek Life, which will be called the
Office of Sororities and Fraternities. The name change
is meant to be inclusive to fraternities and sororities
whose names do not include Greek letters, Greek Life
Director Chris Bullins said.
Reitz Union Director David Kratzer assumed the
second position, associate vice president for Student
Affairs, this week. He will oversee Student Affairs'
budget and seek additional funding and help from
UF alumni. Meanwhile, Mike Mironack has taken his
spot as interim director of the union.


Hopefuls dispute priorities

three treasurers," Henriques
said, "so I know where student
funding has been, what it's done
and where it's going."
Emphasizing her experience
as a student senator, Gator's
Lindsay Cosimi proposed
helping student organizations
understand SG's finance system
better.
"There's more to SG fi-
nance than what you read in
the 800 codes," Cosimi said,
referring to the section of SG
statutes that dictates finance
rules.
SG Finance also adminis-
trates student money from
the Activity & Service Fee.
Only $1 million may be kept
in reserves, which are student
funds not spent after the pe-
riod of one year.
"$1 million per year is
not going to be enough,"
Henriques said, adding, "I
don't want to use the money
because it's there. I want to
make sure it's used right for
the students."
But Cosimi said the A&S
Fee should be changed in or-
der to provide the most.fund--
ing for student programs.
"The A&S Fees definitely
need to look at being lowered
if programs aren't getting the
.money- they-deserve,' : Cosimi


said.
Lauer proposed putting
those fees toward a variety of
programs, including Sunday
bus service, multiple on-cam-
pus 24-hour study centers and
leadership development con-
ferences in the Reitz Union.
The treasurer has the power
to veto all spending bills passed
by the Senate, and although its
use is rare, all four candidates
said they


veto a bill if
i o they felt it
was inappro-
priate.
"I've been
Lightbourne working in
the finance
office for three years, and I
haven't seen anything get ve-
toed," Henriques said.
Lightbourne said she feels
the time allowed to student
organizations for the budget-
ing process is unfair.
"Student organizations
need more time to submit their
budgets," Lightbourne said,
"and the treasurer should be
an active participant ini the
budgeting process."

Councils


compete


for donors

* GREEK ORGANIZATIONS
WILL COMPETE THIS WEEK
FOR THE MOST DONATIONS.

By KYLIE CRAIG
Alligator Writer
kcraig@alligator.org

Members of UF's Greek com-
munity joined Monday night to
kick off the 26th annual "Greeks
for Life," a week-long blood
drive hosted by LifeSouth.
The Interfraternity, Panhellenic,
National Pan-Hellenic and
Multicultural Greek councils all
take part in the event, which is
held to increase blood dona-
tions on the UF campus and to
promote unity throughout the
Greek community, according to
a release.
The blood drive also is a com-
petition between the sororities
and fraternities to see who can
raise the most blood donations
by the end of the week.
Buses will be on campus dur-
ing the day and will visit three
Greek Greek houses each
Life night this week to col-
lect the donations.
"It's a competition,
but the end result is lifesaving,"
Michele Simmons, donor consul-
tant for UF LifeSouth said. "What
they do is amazing."
Simmons said 598 units of
blood. were donated last Fall,
which impacted close to 1,800
lives.
She emphasized the impor-
tance of donating blood, adding
that LifeSouth is the sole supplier
of blood to Shands at AGH, North
Florida Regional Medical Center
and Veterans Administration
Medical Center.
"Twenty percent of our total
donations come from the UF
campus," she said. "For us to be
able to support these hospitals,
we need the help of UF."
The event will wrap up next
Tuesday with a barbecue on
Flavet Field at 6 p.m.
Members of the commu-
nity will be able to donate blood
throughout the night.
Simmons said the goal for this
year's blood drive is 700 units,
which should impact about 2,100
people.
Kenzie Lewis, a Chi Omega
sorority member, donated blood
last year for the event.
She said she decided to donate
when she saw the LifeSouth bus
on Sorority Row just outside her
chapter house.
"It was just really convenient,"
Lewis said. "I have plenty of
blood, and it's for a good cause,
so I figured, why not do it?"

CROWD OF 250 ON MONDAY,

By RACHEL WILK
Alligator Cortributing Writer

Three Flamenco dancers graced about 250 audi-
ence members in the Reitz Union's Rion Ballroom
Monday evening.
Spanish student association Vuestra Alianza
Espanola brought the Flamenco del Sol Dance
Company in hopes of shedding some light on
Flamenco dancing, said Vuestra Alianza Espanola
President Jesse B. Wright.
"My goal was to expose people who have never
seen Flamenco to a dance that is uncommon, hard
to find and expensive for free," Wright said.
Flamenco dancing dates back hundreds of
years ago to the Spanish gypsies, Wright said. It's
an all improve show accompanied by a Spanish
acoustic guitar.
"It's a very exotic, cool type of dancing,"
Wright said.
The Flamenco del Sol Dance Company, based
in Orlando, consisted of dancers Tamara ahd
Alonso Millar and guitarist Ben Hooper. Although
there are at least 10 types of Flamenco dancing, the
troop showcased them all, Wright said.
There were two 25-minute sessions with an
intermission.
"I especially liked the woman's solo because
I think it's interesting that she got the atten-
tion," UF senior Andrea Zuniga said. "I know
in Spanish culture the woman often does not
get the attention, so it was nice to see her in the
spotlight."
By bringing the dancers, Wright said h. :hupc,
to expose the audience to Spanish culture.
"I feel personally dance in general is the most
efficient way to show culture to an audience,"'
Wright said.
The show impressed audience members.
"I thought it was a great show," Zuniga said.
"They were choreographed and seemed very
authentic."
Wright said he hoped the audience was both

educated and entertained.
"We hope that people enjoyed, learned and we
look forward to bringing an even larger perfor-
!-i.ie in the future," Wright said.
The .-tudent group brought the troop as p.-irt
-of the Hispanic Student Association's 20th-anni-
versary week. Other events include a dominoes
tournament, a Student Government debate and
a volleyball tournament, said sophomore Daniel
Villanueva, Hispanic Student Association's pub-
lic relations chairman.

Study shows enforcement of drinking laws pays off


By ELIZABETH PRANN
Alligator Writer
eprann@alligator.org


While new joint research by UF
and the University of Minnesota in-
dicates the greatest deterrent to sale
of alcohol to minors is regular police
enforcement of liquor laws within
licensed establishments, Gainesville
Police already do more than the
findings recommend.
Student Results of the five--
Life year national study re-
leased last week show
checks of businesses with liquor
licenses is the largest deterrent to the
sale of alcohol tominors, which de-
creases especially when enforcement
is conducted every three months, ac-
cording to a press release.
"We found that enforcement
has significant effects, but just like
enforcement against any offense,
you can't just do it once and think
it solves everything," UF College
of Medicine professor Alexander C.
Wagenaar said in the release.
Sale of alcohol to minors for on-
premises consumption dropped an
immediate 17 percent after enforce-


ment began, according to Wagenaar,
.1 i _iu.- that decreased further to 14
percent after two weeks and 11 per-
cent after two months.
However, GPD spokesman Keith
Kameg said that on any given week-
end, his agency does a minimum of
100 checks of local bars and clubs,
which involve uniformed officers
simply being a presence at an estab-
lishment that sells alcohol.
SHe said there are also five addi-
tional officers assigned solely to the
downtown area.
"We have as many as 15 (officers)
at a night," Kameg said.
But the problem in Gainesville is
a constant influx of younger people,
Kameg said, and the majority of
underclassmen, who also comprise
the majority of bar- and club-goers,
being typically underage.
"The population never gets
older," Kameg said. "We will never
be able to stop the problem."
While the release did not include
the locations used for the study,
Florida Department of Business
and Professional Regulations
Communications Director Meg
Shannon said her agency, which en-


sures compliance of liquor-licensed
establishments with state beverage
laws, pays special attention to typi-
cally younger populations, such as
that of college towns, and special
events. "
"There are different 'times of
the year where we have a heavier
focus,". Shannon said. "Typically,
football season ... [times] that have a
greater likelihood of having younger
students there."
GPD also does its share of pre-
venting underage drinking beyond
liquor-vending establishments as
well.
Kameg said his agency sporadi-
cally sends out underage patrons to
attempt buying alcohol from conve-
nience stores.
In a r'-cenr month, 30 locations
were targeted and four people ar-
rested for not erif -, in the custom-
er's age via identification.
R,-.~~,:Ii- tonrid.l Lrlar results
when "youthful-looking individu-
als" attempted to purchase alcohol
without providing proof of age,
finding that about one of five efforts
was successful, the release stated.
There were 7,242 total attempts


There are different times
of the year where we have
a heavier focus. Typically,
football season ... [times]
that have a greater likeli-
hood of having younger
students there."

and Professional Regulations
communications director

logged for the study.
The study also showed police-
conducted checks work better at
reducing underage di bil igl than
programs that train staff at b.l rs and
restaurants to recognize and refuse
service to minors.
However, Kameg ri.:teJ that his.
agency does both -- training bar.
employees throughout Gainesville
through seminars to recognize false
identification and properly utilize
police resources.
GPD officer Art Adkins listed a
range of c:'n1'tquen~L,:e'- for uL1d1r-


age drinkers caught presenting false
identification.
Providing fake ID with a ficti-
tious name or making a false
statement is a third-degree felony.
However, if the fake ID has only an
untrue birthdate or belongs to an-
other person, or if two or more IDs
are found in the person's possession,
it is a misdemeanor.
Shannon said there is a matrix of
rules and consequences, depending
on the violation.
For liquor-licensed establish-
ments, the first citation for serving
alcohol to a minor carries a $1,000
fine and seven-day license suspen-
sion.
-A second violation is a. ',.? .'"
punishment and 30-day license sus-
pension. A third occurrence results-
in the revocation of the establish-
ment's liquor license.
Shannon said especially rneC..
during Spring Break season, her
agency tries to ensure. that busi-
nesses and minors coming to Florida
abide by the law.
"We don't want establishments
to -promote illegal activities,"
Shanncn caid.

Top 50 Moments in UF Sports History

For the next five weeks, alligatorSports.org will be counting down the Top 50 Moments in UF sports history.
These moments range from surreal victories to shocking departures and ever other big event that has shaken the
UF sports world. Log on to the Web site to read about each moment and view a digital image of the Alligator article
as itrppeared in print.

50. UF dubbed the "Alligators" 10/25. 1911- UF football existed since 1906, but the team officially became
the Gators in a 6-5 victory against Clemson.

49. Women's Golf No. 1 5/25./1985.- Four years-after women's golf became an official NCAA spor. IUF won
its first of two consecutive national riles..

48. Christian Drejer departs for Spain 2' 18/2004 In the grand scheme of UF basketball, Drejer's shock-
ing mid-season departure to' Spain meant little. But it did make terns much more weary of signing European
players.

47. A UF All-American -. 12.' 7/1928 Despite falling to Tennessee 13-12 and losing hopes of a Rose Bowl ap-
pearance, the Gators took solace in their first All-American honoree, defensive end Dale. t E- Sickle,

46. A sweet first trip to NCAAs 2. 15/19S.7 inr their first trip to the NCAA Tournament, the Gators shocked
Nc:. 7 Purdue to reach the Sweet 16. Vernon Maxwell and Dwa', re Schinizius combined for 45 points.

45. Mary Wise hired 3/25/1991 At the time. Wise's hiring was second-tier news. But V~'e would quickly
turn UF into a national volleyballl powerhouse. -

44. Gators earn first bowl bid 11. 22 1952 Life looked.bleak.for the football.team after an October loss to
landerjit. But a victory against Georgia and the clincher against Mlianii put UF in the Gator Bowl.

43. Carol Ross resigns 3/22,.'2002 For a wr-ile iT seemed the UF women's basketball program would rise
to the ranks of Connecticut and Tennessee. The reason?-Coach Carol Ross. In 2002. after \ears of success at
UF. Ross snocvtrngl\ stepped down.

42. Alligator Alley era comes to an end 2, 20, 1980 It used to be more than classrooms. For 31 years.-
tri Fl.:ridj Gym -everitually dubbed Alligatoi Alley -- was a harsn environment for SEC Dasketball teams to
endure.

41. Alvarez blasts Dickey 3 1 1972 Toda, it would air live on ESPN. but even in 1972. star uF receiver
Carlos 41. Frer's press ionfeererre blasting footnail coacnr Doug Dickey showed trat times were changing in the
S:P.Orts t.orld.

Recruit projects as forward


GATORS, from page 20

but could not comment further
because of NCAA policies.
As much as the Gators would
salivate at the thought of landing
him, they'll have to clear the pro
hurdle first.
A versatile, do-it-all forward,
Brumbaugh possesses plenty
of skills NBA executives will
look for in the June 28 draft.
Brumbaugh fits the small for-
ward bill best. He can bang in
the paint when needed and he al-
ready boasts NBA 3-point range.
But that's not all.
What makes Brumbaugh a
rare catch is his versatility. Zeoli
compared his talents to that of
Detroit Piston Tayshaun Prince.
Zeoli noted that Brumbaugh
runs the floor well, and is a good
shot blocker who has great tim-
ing.
Just ask the Boston Celtics.
"[Celtics coach] Doc Rivers
was tremendously impressed by
him ... but I don't know," Zeoli
said:
-Brumbaugh will wait till he
can participate in games like the
Jordan Classic on April 16 before


making a decision between going
pro or signing with UF. He also
says he won't forego college un-
less he is assured of being a first-
round pick.
Brumbaugh was slated to
showcase his talents in the
McDonald's All-American Game
but was snubbed by event pro-
moters.
"He should have been in-
vited," said
Dave Telep, the
national recruit-
ing director
for Scout.com.-
"That's not
his fault. His
resume is cer-
Brumbaugh tainly worthy of
that."
Telep added that Brumbaugh
would be best off by refining his
hoops skills in college.
"I think his situation is simple
when you break it down," Telep
said. "He's a guy who can really
help himself with a collegiate
resume and a guy who's going
to end up taking a pretty sizable
risk if he jumps from high school.
He would really benefit learning
the nuances of the game with a
few years of college.


.ONTROL, from page 20


tuded Matt Bonner and Udonis Haslem in their se-
ior seasons.
Bo'ner had seniors Justin Hamilton and Brett
lelson to back him up. Haslem had already been to
ae national championship game.
,~vid Lee is UF's lone senior, the last remnant of
-e highly hyped high school class of 2001.
Anyone who watched Lee defeat James White in
-e high school slam dunk contest will never forget
ie champion and the runner-up embracing each
their, performing the Gator chomp on national televi-
ion.
It could have been the team of a lifetime seniors
;wame Brown, Lee and White in the frontcourt with
minors Matt Walsh and Anthony Roberson in the
ackcourt.
But Kwame decided he'd rather make millions of
dollars and hang out with Michael Jordan. White mys-
'riously transferred after one uneventful season.
And then there was one.
Lee was left behind to represent '01 alone, and the
Dotlight.was solely his.
But with the spotlight comes scrutiny, and every
:ep of Lee's career has been analyzed and criticized.
Too soft.
Can't shoot.
Disappears when it counts.
Lee's heard it all. And a lot of it is bull.
Soft players don't rank third in the SEC in rebounds
er game. Players that disappear don't average 14
oint&~and 10 rebounds per game against the SEC's
)p-notch frontcourts.
Lee's voyage to the top of the SEC may have taken
)nger than expected. In Lee's ideal world, the NBA
aychecks would have been cashed long ago the
Lrst one framed next to his Final Four ring.
But Gainesville wasn't built in a day. In the grand
scheme of life, four years is like four days.
Ar I maybe life works out a certain way for a cer-
ain reason.
This year's Final Four will be played in Lee's home-
3awn of St. Louis .

Freshman forward Al Horford is a big reason why the Gators
have shaken their past defensive woes.


UF enters tourney

on four-win streak

BASKETBALL, from page 20

offensive-rebounding team.
So even the ever-cautious Donovan
couldn't avoid predicting a hypothetical
matchup.
"When you look at rankings, last year's
team was No. 1 in the country," Donovan
said. "This year's team would've killed
last year's team."
But perhaps the grind-it-out Gators
of March would even chew up those
Sunshine State also-rans of January or
February.
Prior to UF's 69-61. win against
Vanderbilt on Feb. 23, the Gators were 1-7
in games in which they failed to score 80
points.
Since then, the Gators have won
four consecutive games without scoring
70. Sunday's win and a 50-38 defeat of
Georgia on March 2 were Donovan's two
lowest-scoring victories in his 11-year
coaching career.
Donovan, who prefers a fast-breaking,
hard-pressing style, said he'd like the
Gators to regain their offensive prowess
going into the SEC Tournament by setting
better screens.
But he's impressed with the way his
young team has become clutch perform-
ers with experience.
"It doesn't get any better than that,"
junior guard Matt Walsh agreed. "This is
such a huge step for our team, having the
confidence and being able to win like that,
grinding it out."

UF baseball takes on UNC-Asheville for first time


By TIM CASEY
Alligator Writer
tcasey@alligator.org

UF coach Pat McMahon hates to lie.
After butting heads with a formidable
Villanova.team, McMahon and the Gators
get a chance to tinker with their lineup by
facing North Carolina-Asheville in a two-
game series.

"I'm really proud of our guys' effort
in the Sunday game and winning
two close ballgames after losing
Friday night. Now, with one day off,
we play again two days in a row."
Pat McMahon
UF baseball coach


"We don't know very much about
their ballclub, to be completely honest,"
McMahon said. "I'm really proud of our
guys' effort in the Sunday game and win-
ning two close ballgames after losing Friday
night. Now, with one day off, we.play again
two days in a row."
The midweek series allows UF to ex-
periment with its pitching rotation against
a team it is facing for the first time in school
history.-UF (11-3) will start left-hander
Stephen Locke tonight. Locke (1-0) earned
a win in his first career start against Florida
A&M on Feb. 15. The freshman boasts a
2.08 ERA and six strikeouts in 8.2 innings of
work. Locke has not walked any batter but
has surrendered one home run.-
"He's worked extremely hard, and con-
tinues to work hard to get better," Mc lahon
said. "As a left-hander, he's a huge factor in


the different roles on our ballclub."
UNC-Asheville will start junior right-
hander Curtis Glover (0-1), but has not
announced Wednesday's starting pitcher.
Glover has a 4.15 ERA-in 13 innings
pitched.
"Our goal is to compete our tails off and
to improve," McMahon said. "We're still in a-
young season getting better and guys need
to perform on a consistent game-by-game,
day-by-day basis."
The Bulldogs (3-5) are coached by Willie
Stewart, a 2000 graduate of UNC-Asheville.
Stewart is in his first season as interim head
coach after replacing Matt Myers, who took
an assistant coaching position at Auburn.
The Bulldogs return just 12 lettermen, in-
cluding only three position starters and six
pitchers from last season. They-were ranked
eighth in the Big South Conference in a
preseason coaches' poll. then opened their
season with three road losses to Alabama.
Sophomore first baseman Tony Wall has
Asheville's lone home run, while senior
shortstop Josh Coyle and freshman Brett
Robinson are tied for the team lead with
three RBI.
In 2004, Asheville finished 26-31 overall
and 13-11 in conference play, tied for fourth
place..
Freshman Bryan Augenstein (0-0)
will make his first career start for UF on
Wednesday. Augenstein has a 5.06 ERA and
three sTrikeouts in 5 1 innings pitched.
The 6-foot-5 right-hander throws high-
velocity pitches. As is the case with many
inexperienced power pitchers, he has strug-
gled with control. .Augenstemu has hit one
batter, throw n one ~\ ild pitch and allo-iVed

good velocity and outstanding movement on
his fastball," McMahon said. "He's a young
pitcher learning to get better. It's an opportu-
nity for him to cofitinue to improve."
UF senior outfielder Jeff Corsaletti rides
a six-game hitting streak. He leads the team
\ith a .417 batting average and .561 on-base
percentage, and has recorded hits in 13 of 14
games.
Sophomore first baseman Matt LaPorta is
second on the team with a .389 batting aver-
age and leads the Gators with si\ home runs.
21 hits. 17 RBI and a .533 slugging average.
And don't forget he also makes pla\ s in the
mLneld.


"Matt has also been an. outstanding
defender for us," McMahon said. "I'm so
proud of his defensive play. He's saved so
many runs for us on balls he's caught at first
base.
"Offensively, he continues to learn. Matt
has very high expectations for himself,
which is good, because he continues to im-
prove."
The Gators improved in the Baseball
America poll, moving from No. 8 to No. 6.
TF fell from No. 13 to No. 16 in the Sports
Weekly/ESPN Top 25 Coaches' Poll, while
Collegiate Baseball has UF at No..13 after.
holding the No. 10 spot last week.

DELAND Keith Brumbaugh knows he's NBA

forward, recently concluded a stellar high school
career by averaging 30.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, 4.8
assists, 2.5 blocks and four steals per game in his

Brumbaugh loves his chances to make an NBA

"I'll probably be right there in Gainesville

Brumbaugh looking at UF, Florida State and even
Kentucky, but the senior has all but officially elimi-
nated the latter two.
"[Gainesville's] tight and I know all of the play-

official visits to UF. "I like the school, there's nice
facilities and there's a tradition."
According to Scout.com and Rivals.com,
Brumbaugh is the only five-star prospect in
Florida.
With UF forward David Lee's eligibility ending
after this season, Brumnibaugh might be able to step
into a starting role next season. He wouldn't need-
much adjustment, either.
"I think he loves Coach [Billy] Donovan's play-

Defensive progress paves SEC path


By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
bapp@alligator.org

A four-game win streak replaced a
four-year drought, and the Gators are
riding the momentum to a Friday after-
noon Southeastern Conference tourna-
ment date.
Amid the half-naked tabletop struts,
and jubilation, however, some sub-
stance was overlooked.
Coach Billy Donovan has echoed a
creed throughout the season: the need
for UF to find other ways to win.
On Sunday, the Gators punctuated
that mission statement with an exclama-



tion point, defeating Kentucky the
league's stingiest defense at their
own game with a 53-52 upset.
"We haven't relied nearly as much
on offense," Donovan
explained Monday.
"We've been able to
rely on defense and re-
bounding and getting
some stops."
And while Donovan
doesn't like to com-
Donovan
pare this season's UF
team to last season's, the numbers are
telling.
UF finished second in the SEC in
scoring offense last season but allowed


an SEC second-worst 69.3 points per
game.
Last season's Al Horford-less Gators
held a seventh-best 0.8 rebounding mar-
gin over opponents.
But this season's Gators have
achieved a league-best 14.3 scoring
margin by allowing an SEC-third-best
63.1 points per game.
And with Horford and senior
forward David Lee respectively
the league's eighth- and third-best
rebounders patrolling the boards,
the Gators have become the SEC's top
defensive-rebounding and second-best

VOLUME 98 ISSUE 110 the independent florida Not officially associated with the University of Florida Published by Campus Comrunications, Inc. of Gainesville, Florida We Inform. You Decide. STUDENT GOVERNMENT ELECTIONS Name war deliberate By BRIDGET CAREY Alligator Staff Writer bcarey@alligator.org The Impact Party's early campaign-naming troubles were caused by an organized effort by Greek and Florida Blue Key members to confuse and discourage voters familiar with the party's former name, Access, an Alligator investigation discovered. Several members of the Greek community and FBK schemed to hijack the Access, Keg, and Ignite party names and use them to mislead students and benefit the Gator Party during the Student Government election, according to a highly active FBK member. Regardless of the anonymous accusation, the students who signed paperwork to claim the parties' names share various connections between them. They are friends, neighbors, Delta Upsilon Fraternity brothers, and two even share a romantic bond -the presidents of the Keg and Gator parties. Those involved in setting up the parties deny any scheming and say the connections between them are purely coincidental. FBK Speaker's Bureau Coordinator and former student body president Marc Adler, along with former FBK Gator Growl Producer and former Delta Upsilon house leader Pedro "Peter" Election Allende, are among the handful of students involved with overseeing and organizing this political tactic tp help the Gator Party win, according to the source. The source said that Adler and Allende are FBK presidential hopefuls, and if they can make deals to help the Gator Party win, then they have a better chance of being elected president of one of the most powerful student organizations at SEE SG, PAGE 8 VP reorganizes SG By STEPHANIE GARRY Alligator Staff Writer smgarry@alligator.org The administrative arm that serves students outside of the classroom will undergo an overhaul this semester that will place oversight of Student Government into the hands of an honorary member of Florida Blue Key, in a decision-making process that was absent student input. Vice President for Student Affairs Paricia Telles-Irvin announced over Spring Break a reorganization of the division that will change who supervises Greek Life, the Office of Community Service and SG. The organization is aimed at improving the division's ability to provide students with educational opportunities, such as leadership and service, outside of the classroom, Teles-Irvin said.

Impact candidate Michelle Lightboure emphasized her experience as president of the Benton Engineering Council and her responsibility over its finances. Justin Lauer, an engineering major on the Voice ticket, questioned Lightbourne's performance in that position, pointing out that the group's finance reports showed no money allocated for the Engineering Fair. "I am a little disappointed in the way she put the budget together," Lauer said. "She made it more difficult for engineers." Lightbourne said in an interview after the debate that the financial reports were standardized for all student organizations, meaning specific events were no longer listed as expenditures. Some events, like the Engineering Fair, still remain funded within broad categories that also are reported on the same paperwork, Lightboume said. "I am a little disappointed in the way she (Michelle Lightbourne) put the budget together. She made it more difficult for engineers."

"Th-e mark of any good leader is to leave behind an organization that has competent leadership throughout its ranks, and I think Mr. Logan has certainly accomplished that," Gainesville's Interim Public Information Officer Bob Woods said during a phone interview Monday evening. Logan's new duties will include providing management and service to clients on a national level, according to a city manager press release. "It is understandable that a company in private industry would ac0) (U Z:) tively seek out Jeff to become a part of their management team," said Barbara Lipscomb, interim city manager. "He has been a trenendous leader. We sincerely wish him well and will miss him." Logan is also credited with adding a degree of professionalism to the RTS program. "RTS is held up as an example of what transit should be in communities around the country,"csaid Teresa Scott, former public works director and current interim assistant city manager. "I wish [Logan] the best as he takes on this new challenge." Woods agreed. "He leaves behind an organization that is well-poised to move forward in the future," he said. Logan's leadership alsoisdcredited with bringing innovative approaches to transit technology. In 2002, RTS added two hybrid buses to its fleet. Purchased with the help of a federal grant, the buses run on a combination of battery power and fuel. "Mr. Logan was an exceptional leader for the RTS system," Woods said. "His management abilities will be surely missed." An interim director will be appointed prior to Logan's departure. 0 (M) (U C) ID 05 *0 I. am z (U m E E 0 E 0 e ator ILlii t n 0 Send a heartfelt Congratulations! to that special someone who has worked so hard to earn their degree.and Good Luck on their journey into their new life. 6 Wish your friends Thank you & fond farewell.they've been a big part of your life and it's hard to part company.

ADMINISTRATION Alcohol again an issue with wine tasting, bar incidents By EMILY YEHLE Alligator Writer eyehle@alligator.org A wine-tasting fundraiser turned sour when an intoxicated woman clawed and kicked a University Police, officer as he escorted her out of the Reitz Union on Feb. 27, reports show. The incident occurred amid efforts by university officials to curb student drinking, emphasized more than a month ago when UF's president prohibited alcohol sponsorship of some events, and just following a reported Feb. 25 sexual battery af-. ter the taping of a beer-drinking reality show near campus. About 600 people convened to taste over 300 wines as part of the 16th annual "A Celebration of Wine," a fundraiser for UF's public radio stations, WUFT-FM, or Classic 89, and WJUF-FM, or Nature Coast 90. The woman, 26-year-old Jennifer Clafin, is a UF bioscienis, according to UPD records. "This is the first time anything has happened in 16 years," said Sue Wagner, director of communication at WUFT and cofounder of the event. University and city officials met Feb. 16 to discuss how to curb student alcohol abuse through environmental factors on campus and surrounding areas. However, administrators.have yet to make a decision on how to handle this situation, Machen wrote in an e-mail. "We have asked that the organizers consider other venues for future events, but no decision has-been made," Machen wrote. Clafin reportedly became belligerent after several wine distributors refused to pour her any more alcohol, Wagner said. Despite the problem, the event was a success and probably pulled in about $40,000, said co-founder Wade Tyler, whose Wine and Cheese Gallery co-sponsors the event. Machen With officers patrolling the event and checking identification at the door and with pour restrictors on every wine bottle, the event-organizers took all precautions necessary, said Mike Mironack, interim director of the Reitz Union and member of the public radio station's board of directors. "They cut her off. When she wasn't taking it that well, she caused a scene, and UPD stepped in and escorted her," he said. "As far as the event is concerned, things worked as they were supposed to." Isolated incidents can't dictate university policy, said Tavis Glassman, coordinator for alcohol and other drug prevention for UF's GatorWell Health Promotion Services. "I've never heard of a wine-tasting event getting out of hand," he said, later adding, "I think because the university had proper supervision, it sounds like they are handling it as appropriately as can be expected.",-GatorWell's recent survey showed that about 73 percent of underage UF students drink and prompted administrators to study the problem. In incidents such as the outburst at the fundraiser, the university has to weigh its options, Glassman said. "One issue is we want to provide a forum where students and adults can drink responsibly," he said. "The other issue is we want to reduce access to alcohol." Two days before the wine tasting, a 20-year-old female UF student reportedly was dragged up five flights of stairs during a rape attempt following the taping of the MTV show, "Reality Bar Crawl" at The Grog House. Her alleged assailant, Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity member Huang Wei Chiu, was charged with sexual battery and suspended from the fraternity. Both the attacker and the victim attended the show's taping. Glassman said he couldn't say whether the reality show fit into the environmental factors that affect student drinking and violence but said that environments with easy access to alcohol are associated with, more violent crime.

6, ALLIGATOR U TUESDAY, MARCH 8,2005 Editorial Set straight The Alligator presents an open letter to the Greeks In the past, the Alligator Opinions section has at times been unrelentingly harsh in its criticism of the Greek community. Editorial cartoonist Andy Marlette in particular had a field day with SG politics last yearthough we won't deny that we feel it was warranted. Unfortunately, this means that when we try to praise them for doing something good this semestersuch as Marlette's cartoon on their tsunami aid drive -it is misinterpreted as being negative. In order for us to clear the air, we would like to offer this open letter, to the Greek comnunity: Listen, we do not think that you operate collectively as a monolithic, fascist conglomeration that solely makes decisions on a hive-mind basis. We don't think all Greek organizations are the same, or that they all participate equally in any incidences of wrongdoing. It may seem that way, because our editorials and cartoons tend to emphasize the problems we see, but it is not. We also, however, do not believe for a moment that you are being truthful when you tell us that nothing fishy is going on. We know that some house leaders coerce their members to vote for particular parties, we know there are some SG positions being promised in exchange for support and we know that there is more of this going on than we have reported. Because of the many concerned readers who tell us about these questionable activities, however, we can't ignore them. Greeks, of course, insist they are individuals, not puppets of the system. But if you want to be seen as individuals, you have to act like individuals. If you see something wrong, speak out. If you don't agree with your house members, stand up to them. So all we're asking is for you to level with us. If you don't want to be cast in a negative light, work to eradicate the practices are causing people to take issue with your organizations. When it comes to SG elections, it's OK if a fraternity or sorority wants to openly endorse a particular party or candidate. We know that Greeks are people too, and they have the same rights to hold political beliefs as any other student. But there is a line between what support is appropriate and what is not. Luckily for you, though, the "line" is more like a gigantic landing strip with big flashing lights-surrounding it. For instance, this is an acceptable thing for a fraternity or sorority leader to say to their members: "As your leader, I think it's important that you get involved in SG. I also think that you should support (some candidate) for (some office) because (he/ she) is the best for the job." On the other hand, this an unacceptable thing to say: "You are going to vote for (some party). If we don't see your 'I voted' sticker on the chart by tomorrow, you can pick up your stuff off the lawn on your way out of the house." Obviously that is a dramatization, but we think you understand where we're going with it. Similarly, give us a break on the legacy positions. If there only was a slightly disproportionate number of Greeks in SG, and particularly in positions of high influence, we could believe claims that this simply is because fraternity and sorority members are more likely to be active and interested in SG. And we won't say that they aren't. But when we have positions being filled 13 times out of 16 by the same fraternity, we can't give you that much credit. No organization has the unique ability to produce exactly the most qualified candidate nearly every single year -not for Accent and not for any of the other positions that are treated the same way. If you don't quite get the point, Greek community members, it's that you have to make some attempt to stop these things from happening if you are to get rid of this public image. If we see an effort in good faith on your part, we'll offer the same in return. the indepedent flridt Dwayne Robinson Matt Sanchez EDITOR OPINIONS EDITOR Mike Gimignani Lauren Flanagan MANAGING EDITOR Diana Middleton Craig Singleton EDITORIAL BOARD The Alligator encourages comments from readers.

Opinions ALLIGATOR www.alI igator.org/opinions o ScMPAIQ! fG~a C,~ COOMn Guest coumn Graduate assistants need to speak up ost in the recent discussion over the appropriate level of student participation in what counts as university "politics" is the fact that Student Government has a very real hold over health insurance for graduate teaching and research assistants. SG appoints members to the health insurance board that receives competitive bids for the student health care plan. The UF administration offers a subsidy to graduate assistants with the student health care plan contracted through Scarborough Insurance Company All indications point to an increase in premium rates of up to 15 percent without a significant increase in coverage for the 2005-06 academic year. Because the student health care plan does not meet the needs of the vast majority of graduate employees at this university, Graduate Assistants United, the labor union that represents those employees, insists that any health plan provided by our employers be delinked from-the student health plan. Until then, I call on graduate teaching and research assistants to closely scrutinize the health care platform of all candidates in the SG election. Let me begin with these two premises: Firstly, graduate teaching assistants teach more than 40 percent of the undergraduate classes at this university; secondly, graduate research assistants do more than 50 percent of the research at this university. Graduate TAs and RAs, already recognized as workers by the state of Florida, are quite literally what makes UF work. As such, we are in fundamentally different positions than the vast majority of the student body at UF, and any attempt to lop GAs into a student plan belittles our contribution to UF as workers. For dozens of years, Graduate Assistants United has publicly maintained that the work conditions for graduate assistants at UF has had a detrimental effect on UF's academic competitiveness: the minimum stipend for a graduTodd Reynolds ate assistant ranks among the lowest Speaking Out in the nation, and until last year, our employers did not offer to help alleviate the cost of health insurance. As long as UF persists in offering a student-, not employee-, based plan designed for those younger than 25, UF will not be competitive in this very important field. Because the current health package offered to the graduate workers here is negotiated through SG, I echo the numerous calls for increased participation in the SG electoral process. Specifically, graduate assistants should demand that candidates take a position on how to address health care for graduate labor. For instance, where do candidates stand on premium hikes based on a graduate assistant's age? How can UF offer a plan that increases coverage without being cost prohibitive to a graduate assistant who makes a stipend of only $7,400 per academic year? Just as importantly, though, SG elections cannot be the sole means of participating in the everyday politics of the university. Graduate assistants in particular need to stand together to continue to apply pressure to UF's admimstration to meet its obligation to provide a living wage and adequate, affordable health care to the employees that make this university work. In this vein, Graduate Assistants United will continue to insist on its legal right to negotiate into the collective bargaining agreement of all employee benefits -health insurance included. While SG elections are a key event to promoting a university culture that values our worth, safeguarding our rights in our workspace needs to be an activity that happens every day in the life of a graduate worker, not just once a semester. Todd Reynolds is co-president of Graduate Assistants United. The views expressed here are not necessarily those of the Alligator.

Brother suspended following allegations Editor: We the brothers of the Delta Tetarton chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity are deeply concerned over the allegations that surfaced over the weekend. Due to the nature of the allegations, the chapter has suspended the brother involved, pending the resolution of any charges. Such a suspension includes any connection, involvement or presence in Phi Sigma Kappa events and activities, and presence in the Phi Sigma Kappa house itself. This suspension will remain in effect until this case is resolved. We and the Grand Chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa in no way support, condone, advocate or encourage sexual violence or the assault of women.

8, ALLIGATOR N TUESDAY, MARCH 8,2005 Personal connections unearthed between competing SG parties SG, from page 1 UP But Allende, who applied as Ignite's party president, said he does not intend to pursue the FBK presidency and did not set up his party with intentions of aiding Gator by confusing students. Adler could not be reached for comment. Connecting the dots The Gator Party President and former Student Sen. Michael Schuster is dating Lauren Mauer, also a former senator, who filed paperwork to be president of the Keg party. Both are FBK members. Richard Yan is listed as the Keg party treasurer applicant, and is a fellow Delta Upsilon fraternity brother with both students who applied to start Ignite. Yan was a fellow varsity Wellington High School debate team member with fraternity brother and Ignite party treasurer applicant Darren Goldman, according to the Palm Beach Post. Yan and Goldman also played on the same ultimate Frisbee team in 2003, according to www.mattmazur.com. Ignite's president, Allende, is neighbors and good friends with FBK member Michael Shine, the Access Party's president. Shine and Allende worked together at Gator Growl. They also visit each other's neighboring apartments to play "Halo 2" together. Shine has no ties with the Student Body President Jamal Sowell's Access Party. He has previously said he could better represent the name Access and registered the name to prevent current Access members from using it. FBK prides neutrality FBK President Brian Roof said that not only does the leadership organization make it a priority to keep separate from SG and punishes political deals, but accusations that they control who wins elections are "completely absurd." "The vast majority of members in Florida Blue Key frown upon that activity and wouldn't be a part of it," Roof said. The process to become an FBK member or officer requires a series of checks and balances, Roof explained, and although a possibility exists that someone could falsely influence others with temptations of FBK power, he has not heard any complaints about members making the accused political deals. "I can tell you three-fourths of the membership could care less who wins (the election)," Roof said. Roof said that if the group uncovers any corruption, the member would then be removed from FBK. "It's a shame that Florida Blue Key is always brought up," he said, adding that its members are naturally active in many school functions, such as SG. Innocence proclaimed Gator's Schuster said he had nothing to do with his girlfriend, Mauer, signing up the Keg Party, and that he had no knowledge of it umtil afterward. Mauer also said Schuster knew nothing of her plans and emphasized her independence from the Gator president. She said she submitted the Keg's application with intentions not to run the party in the election because she thought the name Keg was a "disgrace" to SG and didn't want to see it ,used. She said her actions would not have affected the Gator Party, which she boasts support for in her thefacebook.com profile. Yan, Goldman and Shine did not return phone calls over a two-day period. Parties never approved The three party applications were never finalized due to incomplete information, acWeb of 'coincidences' For competing SG insiders, this election's a party: only one of these four registered parties actually slated candidates.

By only filling out the initial form, the party names were reserved but steps were never completed for approval by the February deadline. The two students who applied to start Ignite were denied in January because they did not meet qualifications to start an organization, SAC officials said. The SAC would not disclose the reason for.the denial citing a possible relation to private student records. Gator candidate reacts "The Gator Party has no involvement in any registering of any parties," said Gator presidential candidate Joe Goldberg. He said he did not think the creation of so many parties was to confuse students or discourage voters to benefit his party. When asked if it is fair for students to question personal connections between competing parties, Goldberg replied, "each person is their own person." Lack of discussion irks SG candidates STUDENT ,from page 1 is much closer to the organization's activities than Dean of Students Gene Zdziarski, whose office is in Peabody Hall. Telles-Irvin told the Student Body executive board of the changes but did not include them in the planning. "I included them as I was letting them know what my decisions were," Telles-Irvin said, adding that she notified SG and Greek leaders. "At that point the decision was made, but they were informed." Everyone at the meeting -including Student Body President Jamal Sowell, Vice President Jennifer Puckett, Treasurer Dennis Ngin, Student Senate President Bryson Ridgway and Diane Kassim. -seemed to be on board, Telles-Irvin said. Sowell and Ngin said that Telles-Irvin should have used student input, but agreed that the changes will benefit SG. I do expect a lot of concern that I want to take up with Dr. Telles-Irvin with the decision being told to us," said Ngin, who is running for Student Body president. "There should have been more open communication, at least between Student Body President Jamal [Sowell] and her." Other Student Body presidential candidates were more critical of students' exclusion from the decisionmaking process. MacKenzie Moritz of the Progress Party said the incident shows how student input needs to find a real voice in UF's administration. "There should have been alot more public discussion on this," Moritz said. "No one really knew about it until it was over." Because the decision will affect students, they should have had a seat at the table, said Joe Goldberg, presidential candidate for the Gator Party. "While I think the changes makes sense," Goldberg said, "it was brought upon us very fast, and I don't think that's the best way to go." Beeland will become the official adviser to SG after the Student Body elections. In 2004, she was inducted as an honorary member into Florida Blue Key, a leadership honorary proven in court during the '90s to have an inordinate amount of influence over SG' but Telles-Irvin and officials involved in the organizations said there will be no conflict of interest. "I think Lobse Beeland is an excepStudent tional professional," Telles-Irvin said. Life "That's not a concern." The new set-up will be "natural" for the Office of Student Activities because it already neighbors SG, Beeland said. "The University of Florida was an anomaly in having the dean's office do it," Beeland said, adding that SG officials regularly seek advice from Student Activities. "It's not unusual at all for us. It's a role that we're pretty comfortable with." in addition to the change in SG oversight, TeilesIrvin created two new positions. Director of Student Development and External Affairs, Myra Morgan will oversee Greek Life, which will be called the Office of Sororities and Fraterhities. The name change is meant to be inclusive to fratenities and sororities whose names do not include Greek letters, Greek Life Director Chris Bullins said. Reitz Union Director David Kratzer assumed the second position, associate vice president for Student Affairs, this week. He will oversee Student Affairs' budget and seek additional funding and help from UF alumni. Meanwhile, Mike Mironack has taken his spot as interim director of the union. Hopefuls dispute priorities DEBATE, from page 1 three treasurers," Henriques said, "so I know where student funding has been, what it's done and where it's going." Emphasizing her experience as a student senator, Gator's Lindsay Cosini proposed helping student organizations understand SG's finance system better. "There's more to SG finance than what you read in the 800 codes," Cosimi said, referring to the section of SG statutes that dictates finance rules. SG Finance also administrates student money from the Activity & Service Fee. Only $1 million may be kept in reserves, which are student funds not spent after the period of one year. "$1 million per year is not going to be enough," Henriques said, adding, "I don't want to use the money because it's there. I want to make sure it's used right for the students." But Cosimi said the A&S Fee should be changed in order to provide the most.funding for student programs. "The A&S Fees definitely need to look at being lowered if programs aren't getting the .money they-deserve,"' Cosimi said. Lauer proposed putting those fees toward a variety of programs, including Sunday bus service, multiple on-campus 24-hour study centers and leadership development conferences in the Reitz Union. The treasurer has the power to veto all spending bills passed by the Senate, and although its use is rare, all four candidates said they would not hesitate to veto a bill if they felt it was inappropriate. "I've been Lightbourne working in the finance office for three years, and I haven't seen anything get vetoed," Henriques said. Lightbourne said she feels the time allowed to student organizations for the budgeting process is unfair. "Student organizations need more time to submit their budgets," Lightbourne said, "and the treasurer should be an active participant in the budgeting process." UF's College Republicans, whose chairman, Hunter Williams, is running for a Student Senate seat with the Impact Party, sponsored the Reitz Union Amphitheater debate.

TUESDAY, MARCH 8, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 9 Councils compete for donors GREEK ORGANIZATIONS WILL COMPETE THIS WEEK FOR THE MOST DONATIONS. By KYLIE CRAIG Alligator Writer kcraig@alligator.org Members of UF's Greek community joined Monday night to kick off the 26th annual "Greeks for Life," a week-long blood drive hosted by LifeSouth. The Interfraternity, Panhellenic, National Pan-Hellenic and Multicultural Greek councils all take part in the event, which is held to increase blood donations on the UF campus and to promote unity throughout the Greek community, according to a release. The blood drive also is a competition between the sororities and fraternities to see who can raise the most blood donations by the end of the week. Buses will be on campus during the day and will visit three Greek Greek houses each night this week to collect the donations. "It's a competition, but the end result is lifesaving," Michele Simmons, donor consultant for UF LifeSouth said. "What they do is amazing." Simmons said 598 units of blood were donated last Fall, which impacted close to 1,800 lives. She emphasized the importance of donating blood, adding that LifeSouth is the sole supplier of blood to Shands at AGH, North Florida Regional Medical Center and Veterans Administration Medical Center. "Twenty percent of our total donations come from the UF campus," she said. "For us to be able to support these hospitals, we need the help of UF." The event will wrap up next Tuesday with a barbecue on Flavet Field at 6 p.m. Members of the community will be able to donate blood throughout the night. Simmons said the goal for this year's blood drive is 700 units, which should impact about 2,100 people. Kenzie Lewis, a Chi Omega sorority member, donated blood last year for the event. She said she decided to donate when she saw the LifeSouth bus on Sorority Row just outside her chapter house. "It was just really convenient," Lewis said. "I have plenty of blood, and it's for a good cause, so I figured, why not do it?" Thirsty for knowledge? Say when.

10, ALLIGATOR 0 TUESDAY, MARCH 8, 2005 MULTICULTURAL Dancers add colorful splash to Reitz Union event Tamara Millar, of the Orlando-based Flamenco del Sol Dance Company, performs at the Reitz Union on Monday evening with guitar accompaniment from Ben Hooper. FLAMENCO PERFORMERS ALONSO AND TAMARA MILLAR ENTHRALLED A CROWD OF 250 ON MONDAY, By RACHEL WILK Alligator Contributing Writer Three Flamenco dancers graced about 250 audience members in the Reitz Union's Rion Ballroom Monday evening. Spanish student association Vuestra Alianza Espanola brought the Flamenco del Sol Dance Company in hopes of shedding some light on Flamenco dancing, said Vuestra Alianza Espanola President Jesse B. Wright. "My goal was to expose people who have never seen Flamenco to a dance that is uncommon, hard to find and expensive for free," Wright said. Flamenco dancing dates back hundreds of years ago to the Spanish gypsies, Wright said. It's an all improv show accompanied by a Spanish acoustic guitar. "It's a very exotic, cool type of dancing," Wright said. The Flamenco del Sol Dance Company, based in Orlando, consisted of dancers Tamara and Alonso Millar and guitarist Ben Hooper. Although there are at least 10 types of Flamenco dancing, the troop showcased them all, Wright said. There were two 25-minute sessions with an intermission. "I especially liked the woman's solo because I think it's interesting that she got the attention," UF senior Andrea Zuniga said. "I know in Spanish culture the woman often does not get the attention, so it was nice to see her in the spotlight." By bringing the dancers, Wright said he hoped to expose the audience to Spanish culture. "I feel personally dance in general is the most efficient way to show culture to an audience," Wright said. The show impressed audience members. "I thought it was a great show," Zuniga said. "They were choreographed and seemed very authentic." Wright said he hoped the audience was both Andrea Morales / Alligator Staff Alonso and Tamara Millar perform a traditional Spanish dance in the Rion Ballroom for a show held by Vuestra Alianza Espanola. The married dancers are part of the Flamenco del Sol Dance Company. educated and entertained. "We hope that people enjoyed, learned and we look forward to bringing an even larger performance in the future," Wright said. The student group brought the troop as part of the Hispanic Student Association's 20th-andversary week. Other events include a dominoes tournament, a Student Government debate and a volleyball tournament, said sophomore Daniel Villanueva, Hispanic Student Association's public relations chairman.

Study shows enforcement of drinking laws pays off By ELIZABETH PRANN ment began, according to Wagenaar, sures compliance of liquor-licensed There are different times age drinkers caught presenting fals Alligator Writer a figure that decreased further to 14 establismirrients with state beverage identification. eprann@alligator.org percent after two weeks and 11 perlaws pays special attention to typiof the year where we have Pr tiding fk +1 While new joint research by UF and the University of Minnesota indicates the greatest deterrent to sale of alcohol to minors is regular police enforcement of liquor laws within licensed establishments, Gainesville Police already do more than the findings recommend. Student Results of the five-Lie year national study released last week show checks of businesses with liquor licenses is the largest deterrent to the sale of alcohol to minors, which decreases especially when enforcement is conducted every three months, according to a press release. "We found that enforcement has significant effects, but just like enforcement against any offense, you can't just do it once and think it solves everything," UF College of Medicine professor Alexander C. Wagenaar said in the release. Sale of alcohol to minors for onpremises consumption dropped an immediate 17 percent after enforcecent after two months. However, GPD spokesman Keith Kameg said that on any given weekend, his agency does a minimum of 100 checks of local bars and clubs, which involve uniformed officers simply being a presence at an establishment that sells alcohol. He said there are also five additional officers assigned solely to the downtown area. "We have as many as 15 (officers) at a night," Kameg said. But the problem in Gainesville is a constant influx of younger people, Kameg said, and the majority of underclassmen, who also comprise the majority of barand club-goers, being typically underage. "The population never gets older," Kameg said. "We will never be able to stop the problem." While the release did not include the locations used for the study, Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulations Communications Director Meg Shannon said her agency, which encally younger populations, such as that of college towns, and special events. "There are different 'times of the year where we have a heavier focus," Shanron said. "Typically, football season .[times] that have a greater likelihood of having younger students there." GPD also does its share of preventing underage drinking beyond liquor-vending establishments as well. Kameg said his agency sporadically sends out underage patrons to attempt buying alcohol from convenience stores. In a recent month, 30 locations were targeted and four people arrested for not verifying the customer's age via identification. Researchers found similar results when "youthful-looking individuals" attempted to purchase alcohol without providing proof of age, finding that about one-of five efforts was successful, the release stated. There were 7,242 total attempts a heavier focus. Typically, football season .[times] that have a greater likelihood of having younger students there." Meg Shannon Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulations communications director logged for the study. The study also showed policeconducted checks work better at reducing underage drinking than programs that train staff at bars and restaurants to recognize and refuse service to minors. However, Kameg noted that his agency does both -training bar. employees throughout Gainesville through seminars to recognize false identification and properly utilize police resources. GPD officer Art Adkins listed a range of consequences for undere tious name or making a false statement is a third-degree felony. However, if the fake ID has only an untrue birthdate or belongs to another person, or if two or more IDs are found in the person's possession, it is a misdemeanor. Shannon said there is a matrix of rules and consequences, depending on the violation. For liquor-licensed establishments, the first citation for serving alcohol to a minor carries a $1,000 fine and seven-day license suspension. A second violation is a $3,000 punishment and 30-day license suspension. A third occurrence results in the revocation of the establishment's liquor license. Shannon said especially now, during Spring Break season, her agency tries to ensure that businesses and minors coming to Florida abide by the law. "We don't want establishments to promote illegal activities," Shannon said.

3, ALLIGATOR U TUESDAY, MARCH 8, 2005 Top 50 Moments in UF Sports History For the next five weeks, alligatorSports.org will be counting down the Top 50 Moments in UF sports history. These moments range from surreal victories to shocking departures and every other big event that has shaken the UF sports world. Log on to the Web site to read about each moment and view a digital image of the Alligator article as it-appeared in print. 50. UF dubbed the "Alligators" -10/25/1911-,UF football existed since 1906, but the team officially became the Gators in a 6-5 victory against Clemson 49.

Christian Duejer departs for Spain,2/18/2004 -In the grand' scheme of UF basketball, Drejer's shocking mid-season departure toSpain meant little. But it did make teams much more weary of signing European players. _' 47. AtUF All-American -12/7/1928 -Despite falingto Tennessee 13-12 and losingbhopes ofa Rose Bowl appearanoe, the Gators took solace in their first All-American honoree, defensiveend Dale Van Sickle.' 46. A sweet first trip to NCAAs T-3/15/1987In their first trip to the NCAA Tournament. the Gators shocked No. 7 Purdue to reach the Sweet 16. Vernon Maxwell an wayne Schintzius combined for 45 points.45. Mary Wise hired -3/25/1991 At the time. Wise's hiring was second-tier news. But Wise would quickly turn UF into a national volleyball powerhouse. 44. Gators earn first bowl bid -11/22/1952 -Life looked bleak for the football team after an October loss to Vanderbilt.But a victory against Georgia and the lincher against Miami put UF in the Gaor Bowl. 43. Carol Ross resilgns3/22/2002 -For a while it seemed the UF wmn basketball program would rise to the ranks of Connecticut and Tennessee. The reason? Coach Carol Ross. In 2002, after years of success at UF, Ross shockingly stepped down. 42. Alligator Alley era comes to an end -2/20/1980 -It used to be more than classrooms. For 31 years,the Florida Gym -eventually dubbed Alligator Alley -was a harsh environment for SEC basketball teams to endure. 41. Alvarez blasts Dickey -3/1/1972 -Today it would air live on ESPN, but even in 1972, star UF receiver Carlos Alvarez's press conference blasting football coach Doug Dickey showed that times were changing in the sports world. Jennifer Lagrie / Alligator Staff Recruit projects as forward GATORS, from page 20 but could not comment further because of NCAA policies. As much as the Gators would salivate at the thought of landing him, they'll have to clear the pro hurdle first. A versatile, do-it-all forward, Brumbaugh possesses plenty of skills NBA executives will look for in the June 28 draft. Brumbaugh fits the small forward bill best. He can bang in the paint when needed and he already boasts NBA 3-point range. But that's not all. What makes Brumbaugh a rare catch is his versatility. Zeoli compared his talents to that of Detroit Piston Tayshaun Prince. Zeoli noted that Brumbaugh runs the floor well, and is a good shot blocker who has great timing. Just ask the Boston Celtics. "[Celtics coach] Doc Rivers was tremendously impressed by him .but I don't know," Zeoli said: -Brumbaugh will wait till he can participate in games like the Jordan Classic on April 16 before making a decision between going pro or signing with UF. He also says he won't forego college unless he is assured of being a firstround pick. Brumbaugh was slated to showcase his talents in the McDonald's All-American Game but was snubbed by event promoters. "He should have been invited," said Dave Telep, the national recruiting director for Scout.com. "That's not his fault. His resume is cerBrumbaugh tainly worthy of that." Telep added that Brumbaugh would be best off by refining his hoops skills in college. "I think his situation is simple when you break it down," Telep said. "He's a guy who can really help himself with a collegiate resume and a guy who's going to end up taking a pretty sizable risk if he jumps from high school. He would really benefit learning the nuances of the game with a few years of college. 0NTROL, from page 20 uded Matt Bonner and Udonis Haslem in their seior seasons. Br'j.ner had seniors Justin Hamilton and Brett lelson to back him up. Haslem had already been to te national championship game. --vid Lee is UF's lone senior, the last remnant of te highly hyped high school class of 2001. Anyone who watched Lee defeat James White in te high school slam dunk contest will never forget te champion and the runner-up embracing each ther, performing the Gator chomp on national televiion. It could have been the team of a lifetime -seniors .wame Brown, Lee and White in the frontcourt with iniors Matt Walsh and Anthony Roberson in the ackcourt. But Kwame decided he'd rather make millions of dollars and hang out with Michael Jordan. White mysriously transferred after one uneventful season. And then there was one. Lee was left behind to represent '01 alone, and the ,otlight.was solely his. But with the spotlight comes scrutiny, and every :ep of Lee's career has been analyzed and criticized. Too soft. Can't shoot. Disappears when it counts. Lee's heard it all. And a lot of it is bull. Soft players don't rank third in the SEC in rebounds er game. Players that disappear don't average 14 ointaand 10 rebounds per game against the.SEC's )p-notch frontcourts. Lee's voyage to the top of the SEC may have taken >nger than expected. In Lee's ideal world, the NBA paychecks would have been cashed long ago -the rst one framed next to his Final Four ring. But Gainesville wasn't built in a day. In the grand cheme of life, four years is like four days. Anmaybe life works out a certain way for a cersin reason. This year's Final Four will be played in Lee's homeown of St. Louis. linagine that hionecoming. UF enters tourney on four-w in streak BASKETBALL, from page 20 offensive-rebounding team. So even the ever-cautious Donovan couldn't avoid predicting a hypothetical matchup. -"When you look at rankings, last year's team was No. 1 in the country," Donovan said. "This year's team would've killed last year's team." But perhaps the grind-it-out Gators of March would even chew up those Sunshine State also-rans of January or February. Prior to UF's 69-61 win against Vanderbilt on Feb. 23, the Gators were 1-7 in games in which they failed to score 80 points. Since then, the Gators have won four consecutive games without scoring 70. Sunday's win and a 50-38 defeat of Georgia on March 2 were Donovan's two lowest-scoring victories in his 11-year coaching career. Donovan, who prefers a fast-breaking, hard-pressing style, said he'd like the Gators to regain their offensive prowess going into the SEC Tournament by setting better screens. But he's impressed with the way his young team has become clutch performers with experience. "It doesn't get any better than that," Matt Marriott/ Alligator staff junior guard Matt Walsh agreed. "This is Freshman forward Al Horford is a big reason why the Gators such a huge step for our team, having the have shaken their past defensive woes. confidence and being able to win like that, grinding it out."

TUESDAY' MARCH 8, 200 AULIGATUR;19 UF baseball takes on UNC-Asheville for first time By TIM CASEY Alligator Writer tcaseytsalligator.org UF coach Pat McMahon hates to lie. After butting heads with a formidable Villanova team, McMahon and the Gators get a chance to tinker with their lineup by facing North Carolina-Asheville in a twogame series. "I'm really proud of our guys' effort in the Sunday game and winning two close ballgames after losing Friday night. Now, with one day off, we play again two days in a row." Pat McMahon UF basebal coach "We don't know very much about their ballclub, to be completely honest," McMahon said. "I'm really proud of our guys' effort in the Sunday game and winning two close ballgames after losing Friday night. Now, with one day off, we play again two days in a row." The midweek series allows UF to experiment with its pitching rotation against a team it is facing for the first time in school history. -UF (11-3) will start left-hander Stephen Locke tonight. Locke (1-0) earned a win in his first career start against Florida A&M on Feb. 15. The freshman boasts a 2.08 ERA and six strikeouts in 8.2 innings of work. Locke has not walked any batter but has surrendered one home run. "He's worked extremely hard, and continues to work hard to get better," McMahon said. "As a left-hander, he's a huge factor in the different roles on our ballclub." UNC-Asheville will start junior righthander Curtis Glover (0-1), but has not announced Wednesday's starting pitcher. Glover has a 4.15 ERA in 13 innings pitched. "Our goal is to compete our tails off and to improve," McMahon said. "We're still in a young season getting better and guys need to perform on a consistent game-by-game, day-by-day basis." The Bulldogs (3-5) are coached by Willie Stewart, a 2000 graduate of UNC-Asheville. Stewart is in his first season as interim head coach after replacing Matt Myers, who took an assistant coaching position at Auburn. I The Bulldogs return just 12 lettermen, including only three position starters and six pitchers from last season. They were ranked eighth in the Big South Conference in a preseason coaches' poll, then opened their season with three road losses to Alabama. Sophomore first baseman Tony Wall has Asheville's lone home run, while senior shortstop Josh Coyle and freshman Brett Robinson are tied for the team lead with three RBI. In 2004, Asheville finished 26-31 overall and 13-11 in conference play, tied for fourth place. Freshman Bryan Augenstein (0-0) will make his first career start for UF on Wednesday. Augenstein has a-5.06 ERA and three strikeouts in 5.1 innings pitched. The 6-foot-5 right-hander throws highvelocity pitches. As is the case with many inexperienced power pitchers, he has struggled with control. Augenstein has hit one batter, thrown one wild pitch and allowed four walks in his three appearances. "Bryan is an outstanding athlete. He's got Tim usey/ slligator UF second baseman Adam Davis has.hit for a .295 batting average since starting the season at a .118 clip. The sophomore has three home runs and 11 RBI. good velocity and outstanding movement on his fastball," McMahon said. "He's a young pitcher learning to get better. It's an opportunity for him to continue to improve." UF senior outfielder Jeff Corsaletti rides a six-game hitting streak. He leads the team with a .417 batting average and .561 on-base percentage, and has recorded hits in 13 of 14 games. Sophomore first baseman Matt LaPorta is second on the team with a .389 batting average-and leads the Gators with six home runs, 21 hits, 17 RBI and a .833 slugging average. And don't forget he also makes plays in the infield. "Matt has also been an outstanding defender for us," McMahon said. "I'm so proud of his defensive play. He's saved so many runs for us on balls he's caught at first base. "Offensively, he continues to learn. Matt has very high expectations for himself, which is good, because he continues to improve." The Gators improved in the Baseball America poll, moving from No. 8 to No. 6. UF fell from No. 13 to No. 16 in the Sports Weekly/ESPN Top 25 Coaches' Poll, while Collegiate Baseball has UF at No., 13 after. holding the No. 10 spot last week.

Sports TUESDAY, MARCH 8, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org '>.i~. ,. Lee's final chance to 'wreak havoc' avid Lee received plenty of love -not to mention a spiffy framed jersey -on Sunday. And on Senior Day, the forward delivered a gift-wrapped Gators victory over Kentucky to a crowd long deprived of UF dominance. But you know the saying 'today is the first day of the rest of your life?' Nobody will take the old cliche to heart more than Lee. The. stars aligned just right for David Lee in his final home appearance. That grand O'Dome exit? He's been planning it for years. Now Lee heads to Atlanta for the SEC Tournament with little love. Nearly all the fans at the SEC wear blue and white. Nearly Andrew everyone will Abramson call for Lee's Drew's Control head after possiaabramson@aIIigator.org bly knocking the Wildcats out of a top seed in the NCAA Tournament. And Lee has one last chance to wreak havoc on college basketball. Unless UP makes a serious run deep into the NCAA Tournament, Lee's postseason performance likely won't sway his pro chances one way or another. By now, scouts basically know what they're getting -a player with a strong work ethic who, at 22, is still improving his game. When it'sall said and done, Lee should find himself on a NBA roster next season. For now, it's all about pride. And Lee has plenty of it. But Lee also has a spotty postseason resume, complete with losses to Manhattan and Creighton. Lee is quite aware of UF's misfortunes. Now, he has an opportunity to achieve the postseason success that SEE CONTROL, PAGE 18 Prospect debates UF-NBA dilemma .THE STATE OF FLORIDA'S ONLY FIVE-STAR RECRUIT IS CONSIDERING HIS OPTIONS. By LOUIS ANASTASIS Alligator Staff Writer Inastaslv@aIIgatsr.org DELAND -Keith Brumbaugh knows he's NBA material. He just not sure whether he'll make a pit stop in Gainesville. Brumbaugh, a 6-foot-8, 190-pound DeLand forward, recently concluded a stellar high school career by averaging 30.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.5 blocks and four steals per game in his senior season. Brumbaugh loves his chances to make an NBA splash, but where will he go if he takes a college detour? "I'll probably be right there in Gainesville with you," Brumbaugh said. Recruiting sites have Brumbaugh looking at UF, Florida State and even Kentucky, but the senior has all but officially eliminated the latter two. "[Gainesville's] tight and I know all of the players," said Brumbaugh, who has logged several unofficial visits to UP. "I like the school, there's nice facilities and there's a tradition." According to Scout.com and Rivals.com, Brumbaugh is the only five-star prospect in Florida. With UF forward David Lee's eligibility ending after this season,' Brumbaugh might be able to step into a starting role next season. He wouldn't need much adjustment, either. "I think he loves Coach [Billy] Donovan's playing style," DeLand coach John Zeoli said. "He lets his players play while other coaches might hold their players back a bit." Steve Simoneau / Simoneau Photography Donovan admitted he is recruiting Brumbaugh DeLand standout Keith Brumbaugh will likely sign with the Gators if he SEE GATORS, PAGE 18 attends college. He averaged 30.3 points per game his senior season. MEN'S BASKETBALL Defensive progress paves SEC path By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org A four-game win streak replaced a four-year drought, and the Gators are riding the momentum to a Friday afternoon Southeastern Conference tournament date. Amid the half-naked tabletop struts, and jubilation, however, some substance was overlooked. Coach Billy Donovan has echoed a creed throughout the season: the need for UF to find other ways to win. On Sunday, the Gators punctuated that mission statement with an exclamation point, defeating Kentucky -the league's stingiest defense -at their own game with a 53-52 upset. "We haven't relied nearly as much on offense," Donovan explained Monday. "We've been able to rely on defense and rebounding and getting some stops." And while Donovan doesn't like to compare this season's UF team to last season's, the numbers are telling. UF finished second in the SEC in scoring offense last season but allowed an SEC second-worst 69.3 points per game. Last season's Al Horford-less Gators held a seventh-best 0.8 rebounding margin over opponents: But this season's Gators have achieved a league-best 14.3 scoring margin by allowing an SEC-third-best 63.1 points per game. And with Horford and senior forward David Lee -respectively the league's eighthand third-best rebounders -patrolling the boards, the Gators have become the SEC's top defensive-rebounding and second-best SEE BASKETBALL, PAGE 18 UFor the first part in a five-week series NUF football coach Urban Meyer profiling the Top 50 Moments in UF spor:s will hold a press conference today histrp'4, turn to page 18.
