state agenda-


* THE GOVERNOR'S
SPEECH BEGINS THE
LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM

TALLAHASSEE
- Cutting taxes, hir-.
ing better teachers and
"transforming" Medicaid
to trim its cost to the
state should be the leg-
islature's main priorities
this year, Gov. Jeb Bush
told the lawmakers in his
State of the State address
Tuesday.
In the speech, which
opened the annual 60-day
legislative session, Bush
also made waves by en-
dorsing Senate President

Lee's proposal to
lobbyists to dis-
which lawmakers


they wine and dine, and
how much their special-
interest clients spend to
influence the legislative
process.
"The people who sent
us here deserve transpar-
ency in Tallahassee," he
said. "As their represen-
tatives, we are account-
able to them. We cannot
allow anything to erode
the trust between us and
the people we serve."
The speech highlighted
Bush's three main priori-
ties.
First, he urged law-
makers to eliminate the

invalidation to the Student Senate.
Zdziarski's ruling, which he said
was not based on the decision's con-
tent, had no effect on the outcome of
the court's invalidated decision to
deny students an opportunity to vote
on the issue themselves.
When asked if he had the power to
put the initiative back on the Spring
ballot, he said his role as an adviser
was to make sure SG members fol-
lowed the rules.

eprann@alligator.org
He was last seen walking on a beach in
Costa Rica early Friday morning, but there has
been no sign of UF exchange student Brendan
Kieran Dobbins since then, International
Center Dean Dennis Jett said.
A building construction major from
Australia, Dobbins traveled to the Central
American country with a group of four fel-
low exchange students and six Americans for
Spring Break.
"Nobody knows if he went into the water
or if something happened on land," Jett said.
M.E. Rinker School of Building
Construction director Abdol R. Chini said the
four Australian students are still in Costa Rica
searching for their friend.
"All four have remained to try to make
sure that all the things that can be done, are,"
Chini said. "They thought if they stayed it

As of Tuesday afternoon, Jett said the last
time he contacted the students was approxi-
mately 7 p.m. Monday at which.time they had
no new information.
"Nobody knows if he went into the

"We are calling his colleagues on a regu-

Dobbins mounts as more time passes.
However, the students remaining in Costa
Rica are putting forth their best efforts, going
to local media and working to get the story
into regional newspapers.

SG ELECTION PROFILES


Goldberg's accomplishments sculpt SG aspirations


Editor's note: This is the first in a series
of three articles taking a closer look at
Student Body presidential candidates.

By NEIL HUGHES
Alligator Writer
nhughes@alligator.org

Joe Goldberg wants you to know that
he can sing.
"Throughout Gainesville, sometimes
you'll find me at different establishments
with a mic in my hand, singing oldies mu-
sic," Goldberg said.
In fact, between singing and his four
years in Student Government, it's safe to
say the. 22-year-old Gator Party presiden-
tial candidate has spent a majority of his
time at UF behind a microphone.
But, he says, the devotion to the student
body is worth the sacrifice.


Joe Goldberg at a glance
Favorite superhero: Superman
Last movie you saw: Napoleon Dynamite
Last CD purchased: Billy Joel
Favorite public figure: Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr.
Personal hero: i mother
Sei's been On my side since day
one, she's always been there for
me when I needed her. She's been
through a lot in her life that's made
her-the person that she is toda,,.


"Obviously SG takes up a lot of my
time," he said, "but I enjoy doing work
with the students."
Goldberg, a sports management senior,
would like to work as a representative at
'a sports agency after he finishes graduate
school.
But before that, he'd like to be your
Student Body president.
"The students need an advocate and
someone who will stand up for them,"
Goldberg said. "I don't think that the stu-
dents have had that for a while."
."I have my finger on the pulse here at
the University of Florida," he added.
Goldberg said his experience and con-
nections with university, city and state
officials make him the clear choice for
Student Body president.
"I already have the relationships," he
said. "I don't have to make them."
Despite his involvement in SG,5
Goldberg has found time to travel around
the world, having visited Italy, Scotland,
Wales and Honduras, among other inter-
national locales.
He said he feels his greatest personal
accomplishment in SG was becoming
Student Senate president.
"I think that I was able to accomplish
so much as Senate president because I was
able to advocate for the students," he said,
adding that the position granted him the
ability to open more doors to city govern-
ment, the UF administration, and UF's


Emlly narrs / Alligator StarT
Gator Party presidential candidate Joe Goldberg sits on a bleacher inside the Swamp
on Tuesday morning. Student Government elections take place March 15 and 16.


Board of Trustees, the university's highest
governing body.
"You can't underestimate that relation-
ship along with getting things done with
the administration, university and city
government," he said. "It can't be done by
someone who is just walking into this job
and doesn't have the respect of the differ-
ent entities."
If elected, Goldberg said the first thing
he would do is speak to UF administrators
and the Board of Trustees, of which he
would become a member.


-Regardless of who the next president is,
Goldberg said the students need to have
their voices heard by officials.
"Without the students, there would be
no UF," he said. "I think the administra-
tors forget that sometimes."
Come next week's elections, set to take
place March 15 and 16, the students will
choose whether to give Goldberg his op-
portunity to let the UF administration
know that.
And then maybe, just maybe, you'll
hear him belt out a tune.

ELECTIONS 2005


City candidates converge

At-Large hopefuls discuss Wal-Mart, alcohol


By BRIAN HAGEN
Alligator Writer
bhagen@alligator.org


Cox Communications hosted a forum Tuesday
night for all candidates running in the March 29
City Commission election to present their views on
myriad issues relevant to the future of Gainesville,
from changing bar dosing times to the economic
impact of a new Wal-Mart.
Vying for the seat every voter in Gainesville
may cast a ballot for, candidates expressed cautious
Support for changing the closing time
of local bars and dubs.
"I'm willing to work with the
GPD and the commission for a inore
orderly evacuation of downtown,"
incumbent Rick Bryant said.
Brinkman "I certainly don't support serv-
ing alcohol later," candidate Rob
Brinkman said. "Stop alcohol sales at 2 a.m. and let
people mellow out and leave when they will."
"As a former parole officer, I think
this sets up people for failure," can-
didate Diyonne McGraw said about
the current closing time. "We may
want to have security to come and
allow places to stay open until 3 or
McGraw 4 (a.m.)"
Regarding the new coal and
petroleum coke-fueled power plant proposed by
Gainesville Regional Utilities, Brinkman favors
"multiple strategies," including exploring renew-
able energy and other alternatives.
"When you're spending taxpayers' money, it's


fundamental to seek out all options," McGraw said,
supporting more studies.
"Gainesville needs a leader who doesn't make
up his mind before all the informa-
tion is in," Bryant agreed.
McGraw supported another
Wal-Mart in Gainesville but said the
current planned location "places one
side of town against the other."
Bryant Brinkman agreed with the senti-
ment of divisiveness, saying there are
better sites within city limits.
Bryant previously traveled to Orlando to meet
with Wal-Mart officials. He wants to review the sec-
ond location's plan before commenting further.
Concern about the possible relocation of Shands
at AGH was addressed, with McGraw supporting
incentives for the hospital.
S"It would be a disservice to the-community to
close the hospital," she said.
"I can't think of a more devastating move,"
Bryant agreed. "What a hole that
S would leave when we're trying to
S revitalize that area."
The people of East Gainesville
need good health care, Brinkman
said. He added that he hopes Shands
Kaimowitz will stay in the area, but, as a private
corporation, it can choose to move.
Fourth At-Large candidate Gabriel Kaimowitz
was not present for the forum.
The forum will be broadcast on Channel 12.

Commission election, visit www. alligator.org.


In District 3, GRU plant a subject of concern


Incumbent Tony Domenech
and candidates Jack Donovan
and Mike Belle are competing
to represent the areas west and
southwest of UF's campus.
Domenech
supports GRU's
proposed plant
as-is.
"We've been
working on
Bee this for 18 to 20
months," he said.
"I like the direction we're
traveling."
"We need to study other
-answers," Belle countered and
referred to his own energy-ef-
ficiency plan, which calls for


more conservation and greater
use of natural resources for
fuel. "We're not as big at re-
sponsible energy usage as -we
could be."
Donovan cited
S the unpredictabil-
ity of coal market
Prices. The City
Commission's
Monday-night
Donovan approval of an
outside evalua-
tion of the power plant plan
was the right decision, he
said.
Bringing new Wal-Marts to
Gainesville remained -a con-
troversial issue. .


"Wal-Mart is not necessar-
ily a good thing," Donovan
said, noting that customers
would be drawn away from
local businesses and support-
ing expanding its
current location
on 13th Street.
Domenech
agreed that
expanding : the
Domenech existing location
would be best.
"I don't shop at Wal-Mart,".
Belle said, but saying he will
keep his personal choices out
of his decision. "The east side
of town wants that Wal-Mart.
They should have it."


Tomato pickers win


By DAVID COHEN-
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org

After harvesting three-and-a-
half years of protests and negotia-
tions, Florida's tomato farm work-
ers finally reaped their rewards
Tuesday.
Taco Bell announced it found
suppliers willing to pass down
the penny-per-pound increase
the company has agreed to pay
for tomatoes directly to Florida
farm workers, who have long
been lobbying for better wages.
"This is ar important victory for
farm workers,.one that establishes
a new standard of social respon-
sibility for the fast-food industry
and makes an immediate material
change in the lives of workers,"
said Lucas Benitez, a-leader in the
Coalition of Immokalee Workers,
a group of tomato farm workers
based in Naples, in a press release.
Over the course of that time, the
coalition protested approximately
10 times on UF's campus, urging
students to boycott Taco Bell.
According to the coalition, Taco
Bell is one of the largest buyers of
Florida tomatoes and could affect
change within the industry.
The one penny increase per
pound of tomatoes bought by
Taco Bell translates to an annual
increase of $100,000 in the pockets
of workers.
"All of the demands were met
arid more," Benitez said.
Taco Bell said it was just as
excited.
"As an industry leader, we are
pleased to lend our support to and
work with.the [coalition] to im-
prove working and pay conditions
for farm workers in the Florida-
tomato fields," Taco Bell President
Emil Brolick said in the release.
Workers are paid 1.2 cents
per pound of tomatoes picked,
but under the new contract, farm
workers will be paid 2.2 cents per
pound of tomatoes bought by Taco
Bell. This will affect 1,000 members
of the more than 2,500 workers af-
filiated with the coalition -
However, Taco Bell Public
Relations Manager Sally George
said her company agreed to pay
-the extra penny when the coali-


tion's boycott began.
"We had agreed-in the past to
pay a penny more for our toma-
toes," George said,. "but we just
recently found tomato suppliers
who were willing to give the extra
penny-per-pound directly to the
farm workers."
The coalition had problems
of its own trying to achieve the
needed wages for its members:

"We hope others in the
restaurant industry and
supermarket retail trade
will follow our leader-
ship."
Emil Brolick
Taco Bell president


"We have gone to the growers a
number of times and were turned
down," Benitez said. "We did
three strikes in five years, and the
growers never agreed to increase
wages. We're so poor we couldn't
afford to be on strike a long time.
There is also this threat of being
fired when you are on strike."
Taco Bell and its parent com-
pany, Yum!, hope they've set a
precedent.
"We hope others in the restau-
rant industry and supermarket
retail trade will follow our leader-
ship," Brolick said in the release.
Brian Payne,- U gradu-
ate and co-founder of Student
Farmworker Alliance, also was
happy with the progress of the

SG hopefuls to face off


By STEPHEN MAGRUDER
Alligator Writer
smagruder@alligator.org

The three candidates hoping to take
Student Government's top spot face a
doubleheader beginning today at 1:15 p.m.
in the final installment of the Abraham
Lincoln Debate Series.
The second will be at 5 p.m. in Room
285C at UF's Levin College of Law.
Gator Party candidate Joe Goldberg,
Impact's Dennis Ngin and Progress'
MacKenzie Moritz will square off on SG
issues on the Reitz Union Amphitheater,
where candidates for treasurer and vice
president debated Monday and Tuesday.
Three debates have been sponsored by
UF's College Republicans, and the Alligator
is cosponsoring today's with the group.
The Hispanic Student Association will
host Thursday's debate at 7 p.m. on the
Reitz Union Colonnade, followed by an
Alligator-sponsored debate Friday at 9 p.m.
in Reitz Union Room 283.


"This is how Student Government
should be," Ngin said of the debate series.
"It shows just how serious this election
is."
Ngin said he wanted the opportunity
to explain how he would make SG more
efficient, and he said all candidates should
be asked what
they have done
to make any
long-lasting,
tangible changes
""0Election to UF.
Goldberg
said he hopes
today's debate
focuses on party policies.
"We like to focus our campaign'on pol-
icy and not on different tactics," Goldberg
said.
"We don't have to talk negatively about
other parties, because there's so much pos-
itive to talk about ours," he added.
Voting begins Tuesday and continues
through Wednesday.


ON CAMPUS

Senor to depict Iraqi life


By KATE STOREY
Alligator Contributing Writer

Dan Senor, former chief spokesman
for the Coalition Provisional Authority in
Iraq, is coming to UF courtesy of Jewish
Awareness Month and Accent, UF's
speakers bureau. Senor will speak in the
Reitz Union Rion Ballroom at 7 tonight.
Senor served in the Middle East
for 15 months as the senior adviser
to Presidential Envoy L. Paul Bremer
II, the administrator of the Coalition
Provisional Authority, according to a
press release.
"People will recognize him because
he was the guy on TV every day, giving
the speeches, making the news," Accent
chairman David Buchalter said.
Senor rode into Baghdad on the
first convoy of civilians into Iraq from
Kuwait less than two weeks after the fall
of Saddam Hussein's regime and is one
of the longest serving civilians in Iraq,
according to the release.
Accent and Jewish Awareness Month,
a division of the Jewish Student Union,


co-sponsored Senor in the hopes he will
bring a couple of different perspectives
about what it is like to be Jewish and
involved with the war in Iraq, Buchalter
said.
"Being a Jew in the Middle East
along with being
an American put a
huge bullseye on
his back," Buchalter
said. "Managing his
faith and his job is
something he will
be talking about and
Senor is something people
deal with in their everyday lives."
Senor completed his undergradu-
ate studies at the University of Western
Ontario and Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, and earned his MBA from
Harvard Business School, according to
the release.
Buchalter said he hopes Senor will
draw both Jewish and non-Jewish stu-
dents and will better educate the com-
munity about the Jewish religion and
people.

Editorial


Closed session

UF and SG shut students

out from key discussions
If anyone still isn't convinced that students are being denied
a say in the decisions that affect their daily lives, the recent
actions of the UF administration should be a wake-up call.
In a move that could drastically alter UF's oversight over
Student Government, the administration announced a shuffling
of the division that supervises SG, Greek Life and the Office of
Community Service.
For the moment, we are going to ignore the fact that the new
SG adviser, Lohse Beeland, is an honorary member of Florida
Blue Key. After all of the shenanigans that have gone on re-
cently, it's hard to feel too surprised about it.
We also are going to.ignore the fact that one of the primary
reasons offered for the change is that the current adviser, Dean
of Students Gene Zdziarski, had to walk too far to get to the SG
office.
The important thing in this case is that students once again
were completely denied any say in such an important matter.
For one, the announcement was made during Spring Break.
Since few students are here over the break, the administration
obviously saw it as a convenient time to slip the decision in un-
der the radar without causing a stir.
Worse, SG officials were not allowed to participate in any
stage of the planning of this decision.
Vice President for Student Affairs Patricia Telles-Irvin, who
announced the decision, justified the lack of SG involvement by
saying, "I included them as I was letting them know what my
decisions were."
Gee, thanks. I'm sure the student body will be comforted to
know that she decided it would be OK to let SG know about the
changes the administration was making to how SG operates.
Unfortunately, this incident is only part of a trend that shows
no signs of improving under the current system.
Earlier this semester, UF administrators committed to re-
branding the university's image, a decision that will affect the
value of all students' degrees in the future. These meetings were
not open to the public and were held away from campus in the
towri of Sanibel and other undisclosed locations.
And while it's probably not as important as these other is-
sues, UF students certainly would like to have a say in whether
or not the campus switches from Coca-Cola to Pepsi.
Apparently, the UF administration thinks that it should be
able to make decisions for the student body without ever con-
sulting any students or SG members.
Equally bad, other recent events have made it clear that SG
has learned a thing or two from the administration.
The most obvious example that comes to mind is the recent
SG Supreme Court decision to deny the petition to put online
voting on the ballot.
The Supreme Court made this decision in a secret meeting,
which they did not adequately publicize. Even the SG parties
categorically deny knowing about the meeting. In fact, at least
one executive candidate did not know about the decision until
it was reported in the Alligator.
Evidently, Florida's Sunshine Laws aren't enough by them-
selves to secure access to these meetings.
Calls for students to be active and speak out for what they
deserve may seem to be tired at this point in the electoral pro-
cess, but cases such as these are going to keep happening until
the students decide to do something about it.
If SG officials that will fight for change aren't elected, SG
won't ever be any better at offering access to students than it
is now. If students don't let the administration know that they
won't stand for decisions being made on their behalf without
their consent, the administration will never reconsider its pro-
cedures.

Opinions


Guest column.

Column gets some
Although I agree with the conclusion Jason Levitt
made in his Monday column "Freedom looks more
likely for China" that a free China is closer than
ever before I don't agree with the arguments he used to
reach that conclusion.
In his article, he claimed "the Chinese government has an
iron grip around the necks of the Chinese people," and "the
National People's Congress of China convened this week-
end to figure out ways to keep their chokehold tight." The
Chinese government was smart enough to stop making such
hostile yet vague accusations on an elected congress, while it
seems Levitt was not.
Levitt claimed that Chinese "Internet police" are a
"veritable army of Fascist computer geeks," which I don't
agree with. Like most other countries, China has a national
security department (equivalent to the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security) and a censorship system that deletes
subversive, erotic and terrorist contentfrom TV, newspapers
and the Internet. It's not anything new. Most young Chinese
people don't like it because we believe it's too strict, but it
helps protect Chinese people against terrorists. Without the
department, the government may choose to put even more
strict constraints on Internet service, like in North Korea.
Actually, many of these -"Internet police" helped give the
Chinese people more freedom by compromising with the'
government and sacrificing their own reputation. They are
unsung heroes, and I have full respect for them.
Levitt further stated, "Followed by millions in China,
the Falun Gong is a philosophy that mixes meditation and
exercise," and he imagined that "every Chinese has-received
a Falun Gong e-mail. There's no way to stop it ... you cannot
kill the users." I totally agree that every Chinese must have
received Falun Gong e-mails. Since I came to the United
States in 2002, I have received at least 300 (no kidding) Falun
Gong e-mails. They never contain a link to unsubscribe like
most junk e-mails do.
Levitt also said that the leaders of Falun Gong had been

arrested. But the founder of Falun Gong, Master.Li Hongzhi,
was not: He is living the good life here in the United States. I
found an article from Time magazine about an interview with
Hongzhi in 1999. Hongzhi stated thathe knew many human
beings could levitate, including magician David Copperfield.
He claimed his could cure all illnesses, but wouldn't do so.
He further said, "The biggest cause of society's change today
Fei Long is that people no longer believe in
Speaking Out orthodox religion ... (they are) aliens
Some from other planets ... The aliens
have introduced modem machinery like computers and
airplanes ... they will replace humans and aliens." It's an
interesting article, and I suggest that anyone who wants to
learn about the Falun Gong should read it.
China is not a perfect country, and the Chinese believe
we should learn from the success of other countries, includ-
ing the United States and some Middle Eastem nations.
Although there still is a long way to go for China to achieve
direct presidential election, China has held direct elections at
the village level since 1998 thanks to the help of the Jimmy
Carter Foundation. It is experimenting at the county level,
which has worked very well so far. At UF, more than 50%
of Chinese students turned out to vote in the Friendship
Association of Chinese Students and Scholars presidential
election, and this year we have. Pingping He, a Chinese
student, running for a Student. Senator spot in Student
Government. But what "gives Chinese people true hope and
prosperity in the 21st century" is neither the junk e-inails on
the Internet or democracy in the Middle East, but the educat-
ed and open-minded Chinese people, including the Chinese
students at UF, the "Internet police" and the members of the
National People's Congress.
I want to thank Levitt for his goodwill, but I suggest he
learn a little more about China before writing an article with
such prejudice, if not discrimination, in the future.

Letters to the Editor
Students should rally against SG elitism
Editor. It is time for the Student Body to
rise up and put an end to Florida Blue Key's
cronyism and elitism and its stranglehold on
Student Government.
First, we learned about "legacy positions"
and the Greek elite opposition to online vot-
ing until absolutely forced to at least pay it lip
service.
Now, thanks to Bridget Carey's story in
Tuesday's Alligator, we see the FBK conspiracy
to confuse voters by registering familiar party
names under unfamiliar FBK leadership.
Any party (or, in this case, any secretive
good ol' boy club) that puts so much hope and
effort into reducing turnout and misleading
voters does not represent the Student Body.
Students no longer have any excuse to


pretend this SG stuff doesn't matter. If we are
to have any hope of enjoying a fair democracy
in this country, we ought to at least be able to
create one.at this institution.
Remember, the Joe Goldbergs and the
Gator Parties of today go on to be your state
and national government leaders of tomor-
row- that's what FBK is all about.
Goldberg should apologize and drop out of
the race, the Gator Party should disband and
the university's administration should banish
FBK from campus. Sadly, that's not likely to
happen.
So, the students must first put an end to the
FBK SG oligarchy ourselves. Then, remember
the names of those involved, and in 15 years
when one of them is running for Governor,
remember their eagerness to deceive and mis-


lead here at UE

Columnist must learn more about China
Editor: I am a graduate student at UF who
was born and raised in China. I don't like the
opinions in the column "Freedom looks more
likely for China" from Monday's Alligator.
Having spent the first 22 years of my life
in my home country, I don't feel that I had
"an iron grip" around my neck. I don't mind
seeing reports of bad things about China


at all, but this column is biased and based
on limited knowledge and understanding
about China and the Chinese people. What is
the author trying to do make the general
public, most of whom haven't had a chance
to visit China and know China better, hate
China?
I think the author should get to know
China better before he writes columns that
will be published on a campus-wide newspa-
per like the Alligator.
This is simple, actually: I believe there are
plenty of people who have spent more time
in China than the author has. Just talk with
them.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT ELECTIONS

Vice presidential candidates focus on involvement


By LINDSAY TAULBEE
Alligator Writer
Itaulbee@alligator.org

Three Student Government vice
presidential candidates brought
forth differing visions for improv-
ing student life at UF during a de-
bate Tuesday, touching on tuition,
student involvement with SG and
university relations with the city.
Robert Mack of the Impact
Party, Joyce Medina of the Gator
Party and Adam Roberts of the
Progress Party each discussed
their qualifications, outlined spe-
cific goals and disputed the most
efficient means to accomplish
them.
Engaging student participation
in SG was a recurring concern dur-
ing the debate, which was hosted
by the College Republicans and
Tower Yearbook.
"One of the best ways to reach
every student is to know what
it's like. to be every student,"
said Roberts, director of SG's
Technology Cabinet.
He said less effort should be
spent on SG "meet-and-greet"
functions, saying students would

(Progress Party) debate the issues Tuesday afternoon at the Reitz Union Amphitheater.


rather have something done for
them than to network with student
leaders..
Medina, who has served as
a student senator and in leader-


ship positions for several campus
groups, disagreed.
"I feel the meet-and-greets
are efficient," she said, noting
the events allow for dialogue be-


tween students and SG leaders.
Addressing deficiencies in SG,
Medina also said cabinets should
work to co-sponsor more events
with student organizations.


Mack, lobby coordinator for SG,
said students shouldn't have to
meet with their leaders just to find
out what SG does for them.
One service Mack said he was
working to implement was called
"SG Exchange," in which students
could sell things such as textbooks
and furniture without having to
pay a middleman.
The candidates agreed on some
issues, such as the importance of
fighting block tuition, preserving
the Bright Futures scholarship
program, improving city-univer-
sity relations and increasing the
efficiency of the Regional Transit
System.
Medina, for example, suggested
re-evaluating RTS routes for maxi-
mum efficiency.
To improve relations with the
city, Roberts suggested a plan
similar to one other schools have
implemented. Each Fall, he said, an
elected student would serve as an
adjunct member on the Gainesville
City Commission.
S"They would be a commission-
er minus the actual voting rights,"
he said after the debate.


Grad students criticize SG-linked health insurance


Editor's note: This is one of a series of ar-
ticles highlighting issues for the upcom-
ing Student Government elections.
By JEFF SIRMONS
Alligator Writer
jsirmons@alligator.org

UF's graduate assistants are "at the
mercy of Student Government," thanks
to a contract with UF administration that
has granted the student teachers the same
health care as undergraduate students,
Graduate Assistant Union officials said.
The GAU hopes SG will doctor health
care for graduate assistants this year, and
is using the election period to raise student
awareness.
"Because this is about employees, it
should not be linked -to SG,". said Erica
Pittman, executive chair of the GAU
Health Care Committee. "But we must
work through SG now to get better insur-
ance."


The group plans to further bargain with
UF administration and SG, arguing that
the student plan does not fit older gradu-
ate assistants' needs.
"Basically, the plan covers accidents
and injuries, and-we need the insurance
to cover chronic illnesses as well," GAU
President Todd Reynolds said. "Most
graduate assistants are older than 25, and
we need a plan that fits people in that age
bracket."
While the group is working with SG
parties to emphasize the importance of
improved graduate assistant health care, it
hopes to talk with administrators later this
year to cement a better plan.
"Graduate assistants at comparable
universities have employee health care
plans, and if this university wants to be-
come a Top 10 institution, it should offer
the same," Reynolds said.
All three Student Body presidential
candidates agreed that graduate assistants


should be given the same health care plan
as faculty, and all three noted the work
graduate assistants do for the university.

"Graduate assistants at compa-
Srable universities have employee
health care plans, and if this
university wants to become a Top
10 institution, it should offer the
same."
Todd Reynolds
GAU president

"Graduate assistants are a major ben-
efit to the university, especially since they
provide a lot of instructional help, such as
providing close interaction in really large
classes," said Dennis Ngin, Impact Party
presidential nominee. "They should be
treated as a critical asset to the univer-
sity."


The competing trio also agreed gradu-
ate assistants should be given the same
benefits as faculty.
"The university needs to recognize
them as faculty if they're going to teach,"
said Joe Goldberg, Gator Party presiden-
tiai nominee.
Their parties also are working on how
SG can improve the situation.
"I would make sure they (GAU) have
more_ representation on the health insur-
ance committee. Yes, I would," Goldberg
said.
Progress Party presidential candidate
MacKenzie Moritz added, "as long as we
appoint students who are truly concerned
with health care and not there just as a re-
sume builder, GAU should get some help."
But even though the three parties will-
ingly agreed to work on GAU's health
care issue, they all felt UF administrators
should be responsible for providing better
insurance to graduate assistants.

Bush addresses taxes, Medicaid, teachers' pay


STATE, from page 1


drinks served in restaurants.
More significantly, he said the
legislature must "rid our state
of the remaining intangibles
tax" on income from stocks
and bonds, which he called "an
insidious tax on savings and in-
vestment."
While Democrats have called
the plan to eliminate the tax a
boon for millionaires, Bush was
adamant.
"It is their money, not ours,"
he said. "They earned it, they
should keep it."
Including a nine-day sales tax
holiday in August, the proposed
Stax cuts would remove $285 mil-
Slion in revenue from the state
budget.
The next priority for Bush was
controlling the cost.of Medicaid,
the federal-state program that
provides health insurance to 2.3
million of the. state's poorest
residents.
The program cost the state
$14 billion last year, even though


the federal government picks
up approximately 60 percent of
the bill. The cost has grown an
average of 13 percent over the
past five years compared to a 6
percent growth in state revenue
- and lawmakers are worried
it will soon devour the state's

Bush urged law-
makers to create
a "new vision for
Medicaid," which
"demands a trans-
formation of the
Bush. entire system."
Bush While Bush
offered no specifics on what a
"transformed" Medicaid system,
would look like, he said "the
new system would use competi-
tive market principles to unleash
innovation, spurring new and
better ways to serve patients."
Hiring better teachers should
be another priority for Florida
lawmakers, Bush said, urg-
ing the legislature to submit a
constitutional amendment to
Florida voters that repeal the


state class-size amendment that
forces school districts .to lower
their teacher-to-student ratios.
Bush said it would cost $26.4
billion to implement the amend-
ment, which was passed by vot-
ers in 2002.
He said that money could be
better spent by raising teachers'
starting salaries to $35,000 and
tying future raises to perfor-
mance instead of seniority.
"We need to empower our
school districts to put quality
teachers in every school, and we
must support our dedicated teach-
ers with a professional pay scale
that reflects their achievements
and contributions," he said.
This could lure more qualified
teachers to Florida who could
handle a few more students in
their classes while improving
student performance, Bush said.
In the speech, Bush also recog-
nized an Iraqi man who came to
America in 1979 and a member of
the Florida National Guard who
will be deployed to Afghanistan
on Thursday.


Officials: no foul play

SENATE, from page 1

and take action to pass legislation on it next week,
Zdziarski said.
"If all the parties are in favor of this, then let's
make it happen," he said after the meeting.
Nathan Skop, a law student and one of the five
Supreme Court justices, addressed the Senate af-
ter Zdziarski left, emphasizing that no laws were
found to be broken before the court's decision was
invalidated.
He said that overturning of the decision was
"presumptively premature," and to allege that five
law students have potentially violated state law
without actually proving that occurred would be
a serious allegation.
He declined to comment on whether- or not
public notice was given for-the meeting citing that
legal action potentially was pending. However,
Chief Justice Tobi Butensky said in an earlier inter-
view that while no advance notice was given, she
believed the court acted properly.
Zdziarski said the focus of his parting words
was to ensure that SG leaders maintain their focus"
to serve students, especially with regard to nearly
$11 million in Student Activity & Service fees.
After making his speech, Zdziarski announced
the Student Senate's new advise, Associate
Director of Student Activities Chris Cupoli.
Cupoli and Student Activities Center Director
Lohse Beeland will advise SG, including the
Supreme Court, after a recent reorganization of
UF's Division of Student Affairs.
The proximity of the Student Activities Center
to SG in the Reitz Union will provide leaders easy
access to advisers, Zdziarski .said.
"If you are not in the midst of it, it is really dif-
ficult to provide the level of attention and support
that this group deserves," he said.

the missing student Monday morning, said his office is acting as a
hub for support and information-gathering.
He said his office is working to reach out to UF students af-
fected by Dobbins' disappearance as well as his family.
UF has not experienced a situation like this since the disappear-
ance of David Ferguson during the Florida-Georgia football game
in Jacksonville last Fall.
-Jett said he has been in contact with the American Embassy
as well as the Canadian Embassy, which handles the affairs of
Australians in San Jose, Costa Rica.
The biggest obstacle, Jett said, has been the time difference;
Dobbins is enrolled at UF as an exchange student from
Australia's Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, one of sev-
eral dozen institutions all over the world with which UF conducts
exchange programs.

Council denies Asians


* THE MULTICULTURAL GREEK
COUNCIL VOTED THE BID DOWN.

By JOHN W. COX
Alligator Contributing Writer

A two-year dream of becoming the
first Asian-American fraternity in
Florida was thwarted Tuesday night
for a group of UF students.
Anticipation turned into deflation
for members of the Asian-American
Greek Interest Group, as the decision
to deny them membership to UF's
Multicultural Greek Council was an-
nounced at their bi-weekly general
meeting.
"I feel like I just got kicked in the
stomach," said AAGIG Vice President
Huy Huynh.
Interest groups can only be ad-
mitted with a majority vote by the
seven full members of the council,
said Analiz Velazquez, MGC admin-
istrative vice president.
MGC Executive Vice President
Alex Cosimano said AAGIG submit-
ted a presentation at the last meeting,
which met all the MGC constitutional


requirements.
Velazquez said AAGIG was repri-
manded earlier in the school year for
beginning member orientation before
it was permitted to, which may have
affected its bid.
"I've lost faith in the ethical
and moral decision-making of
the council."
William Russell
Sigma Lambda Beta member

MGC President Kristymarie Flores
said the decision surprised her, but the
voting members do not always reflect
the feeling in the council.
Members of AAGIG were not the
only ones disconcerted by the deci-
sion.
"I've lost faith in the ethical and.
moral decision-making of the coun-
cil," said William Russell, member of
Sigma Lambda Beta Fraternity and
MGC.
MGC will decide in the upcoming
months if AAGIG will be allowed to
reapply.


Speaker urges lung care


By SKYLER SMITH
Alligator Writer
ssmith@alligator.org

Mark Brantly doesn't take breathing, for
granted.
Asthmatic as a child, Brantly spent more
than a decade studying Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease -- a fancy name for the
combined illnesses of asthma, chronic bron-
chitis and emphysema at the National
Institutes of Health.
Now-a professor with the UF College of
Medicine, Brantly gave a speech on COPD
at UF's McKnight Brain Institute on Tuesday
night, the last in a seminar series hosted by the
UF General Clinical Research Center.
According to the Centers for Disease
Control, COPD affected an estimated 10 mil-
lion Americans in 2000, and 14 million more
are suspected of having the disease, the fourth
leading cause of death in the nation.
"We are missing that huge group of people,
that bottom of the iceberg, that are clinically
undiagnosed," Brantly said to an audience of
approximately 40 students, faculty and lung-


disease sufferers.
"We were trying to get information out to
the community about clinical research and its
advantages,".said Barbara Frentzen, an em-
ployee at the research center.
Brantly said lung cancer overtook breast
cancer in 2004 as the deadliest cancer for
women. He said lung disease is both more
prevalent and-more lethal
U F in women.
Research '"When I see the young
girls outside the hospital
smoking, I want to go over
and shake them and ask, 'Do you know what
you're doing?'" he said.
Brantly noted that it's not environment
alone that poses a risk for lung disease.
"Genetic risks are now recognized as a ma-
jor component of COPD," he said, adding that
the activation trigger is not known.
Brantly runs a COPD lab on campus that
screens more than 6,000 patients annually.
Treatments range from drugs to transplants,
and Brantly is working on an inhalable ste-
roid that can infuse the tiniest parts of the
damaged lung without adverse side effects.

GYMNASTICS

..ore than just competing


By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer
dtreat@alligator.org

It all started with a simple challenge.
Upon joining UF's gymnastics team as
a walk-on in fall 2003, Savannah Evans
wrote down her goal for her freshman sea-
son. That goal was simply to compete.
Coach Rhonda Faehn had something
Alse in mind for Evans.
"When she said that her goal was just
co compete, I was floored," Faehn said. "I
was like, 'Why not put down, "I want to be
in all-arounder and I want to score a 10.0,"
because I know you genuinely want that.'
Instantly she lit up, and from that point
an she has been on autopilot, working so
hard."
Out of that challenge came success far
beyond what Evans herself expected when
she left Destin for UF.
"When I came in as a walk-on, I defi-
nitely wanted to eventually get a scholar-
ship," Evans said. "I didn't think it would
happ h that quickly.
"The coaches here definitely helped
me get the skills and helped me compete
a lot better then I did, so I owe a lot of it
to them."
The aid of the UF coaching staff quickly
earned Evans both a place in the school re-
cord book and national recognition as, the
Gator" advanced to the NCAA Super Six
last season.
"The seniors were talking- about how
they had to sit out and watch the year be-


fore," Evans said. "And for us to make it as
freshmen is definitely a highlight.
"We got to see some of the best teams in
the country and compete against them. We
proved to them what we have and that we
have more coming."
Evans earned second team All-
American honors in floor
exercise as a freshman,
and tied the UF vault
record by scoring a 10.0
against UCLA.
She says her affin-
ity for the sport has al-
lowed her to reach such
Evans heights.
"That's just me," she said. "I love gym-
nastics, and to come in here every day and
work. That feels good to me."
Faehn feels that Evans has tremendous
drive that has led her to success.
"It wasn't until she was here, and we
were able to see her work ethic, and all the
hours she puts in, and her never-give-up
attitude and never wanting to leave the
gym, basically," Faehn said. "That alone
has put her in the situation that she's in."
Despite all her individual success,
Evans maintains her ultimate goal of help-
ing the team reach new heights.
"I would love for our team to win SECs
or nationals," Evans said. "That would be
incredible.
"We've never done it, and I think we
have the potential to do it this year, if not
all the years after."'


UF may head to WNIT


By MICHAEL MAURINO
Alligator Writer
mmaurino@alligator.org

They may have been knocked out
in the first round of the Southeastern
Conference Tournament last week,
but the season is not over for the UF
women's basketball team.
While UF (14-14, 5-9 SEC) is prac-
tically out of NCAA Tournament
contention, the Gators could still see
the postseason.
The Women's National Invitational
Tournament announces their brackets
shortly after the Women's NCAA se-
lections Sunday. Coach Carolyn Peck
sees no shame in being part of the
32-team field.
"Any opportunity to play in the
postseason is definitely an accom-
plishment," she said. "I can't see [the
WNIT] as a disappointment."
But don't make any plans just yet.
UF's strength of schedule is in
the top-5 of most projections, but the
Gators have a .500 winning percent-
age, which may cause a problem.
The WNIT website says the tour-
nament has teams that "were not part
of the NCAA Tournament field but
still finished strong and above a .500
record."
On that criterion, UF would be out


of the postseason. UF has lost their
last four games and nine of 11. There
may be also another snag. The WNIT
has prospective schools send them
bids to host the games, which UF
has done. Part of the bidding process
involves how much money the WNIT
can make in gate receipts at the site.
In this case UF maybe a less appeal-
ing selection.

"Any opportunity to play in
the postseason is definitely
an accomplishment."
Carolyn Peck
UF Basketball coach


The team's average draw of 1,452
per home game is 11th in the SEC;
because of this, an inferior team who
can pull in more fans may be picked
over UF
Peck said that if the Gators are
invited to the WNIT, the team will
accept partly because she feels
postseason experience is vital to the
program's overall success.
"We're working to continue to
improve and work to be a better
team regardless or whether if it is
the NCAA or WNIT," she said. "This
team, their number one objective is to-
go out there and play their very best.


-


Asheville recorded four wild
pitches while UF's pitching and
defense played nearly flawless
Baseball.
"Anytime there is an errorless
game it helps the pitching out,"
Locke said.
Catcher Brian Jeroloman also
stood out, coincidentally on the
same day as being named to the
Johnny Bench Award Watch List.
He started his night with a fence-
clearing blast off a fastball.
The sophomore had an all-
around game, throwing out
Bulldogs at second base and even
stealing a base himself.
"Tonight was neat because my
brother who plays for the Red Sox
was watching me in the crowd,"
Jeroloman said. "I've hit two hom-
ers since he's been watching me
and so I told him I'll pay him the
rest of his salary if he just stays put
in the crowd."
Jeroloman was honored with
his success but stressed the team's
win.
"The recognition means a lot to
me," he said. "It shows hard work
pays off and I feel very special."
S McMahon was very proud of
his young catcher but made sure to
n explain a team tradition.
"We have a special something
d in our ball club," McMahon said.
n "All individual awards are team
awards. So if he wins it, you can
g be sure he will accept it on behalf
-of the team."

Mat of horror
These days, it' seems Fason and
Crowder got off light.
Former coach Ron Zook was
labeled a player's coach. Meyer's
Practice strategy seems to come
straight out of the Bear Bryant
school of discipline.
S "I think it's a combination of
intensity, discipline and account-
ability," Meyer said of his infamous,
mat drill.
A quickness-and-agility drill
done on a mat sounds easy enough,
but don't be fooled. Easy isn't
Meyer's style.
The seniors perform the drills
first. If they make a mistake, it's
back to the mat.


Meyer said the freshmen didn't
even participate the first few days
because the seniors just couldn't get
it right.
"When we ask you to put your
foot behind a white. line, it's not a
request," Meyer said. "You've got to
do it and do it over again, and do it
the right way."
Seeing stars
Meyer realizes that Zook recruit-
ed most of the Gators. Zook efforts
landed players like Leak, Siler and
Andre Caldwell.
But other players; so-called top-
notch recruits, according to so-called
recruiting experts, have yet to pan
out.
Meyer said that in the future, he
would watch more video of recruits
instead of relying on the subjective
ranking system.
"There's a couple of defensive
ends that has the word 'Parade [All-
American]' in front of them, where
so-and-so is [rated] five stars, nine
stars, 27 stars, whatever that means,
[and they] haven't played a down,"
Meyer said.
His message to the underachiev-
ers?
"It's time to put up or shut up, as
they say."


Lee, Roberson chosen All-SEC


MEN'S, from page 20

the NBA, scored a game-high 21,
including a pair of game-winning
free throws in potentially his final
UF home game.
Roberson led the SEC in league
play as the only player to average
more than 20 points (20.8). Pending
his performance in the SEC and
NCAA tournaments, Roberson
could become the first UF player to
claim a conference scoring title since
Ronnie Williams in 1982.
Roberson's first-team team-
mates include Kentucky's Chuck
Hayes, Mississippi State's Lawrence
Roberts, Alabama's Kennedy
Winston and SEC Player of the Year
Brandon Bassof Louisiana State.


Joining Lee on the second team is
Kentucky's Kelenna Azubuike, SEC
Newcomer of the Year Glen Davis
of LSU, Alabama's Earnest Shelton
and Arkansas' Ronnie Brewer.
Despite the individual accolades
and momentum gained by break-
ing an eight-game losing streak-to
Kentucky, the Gators finished just
out of Monday's AP Top 2 -' -
The Gators received the most
votes of any non-ranked team,
finishing six points behind No. 25
Charlotte.
"A lot of people say negative
things about Florida, and we can't
satisfy everybody," said Roberson
after the Kentucky win. "But I do
know I play with a group of guys
that fought hard and beat Kentucky.
And that's the headline."

Gators running back DeShawn Wynn's struggles mirror UF's dire running back situation entering spring prac-
tice. Wynn will battle Skyler Thornton and Markus Manson for the starting job.


Relentless spring awaits Gators


The Gators, preparing
for their Friday afternoon
Southeastern Conference
tournament appearance, have
gotten little national attention.
However, two team leaders
were recognized as some of the
league's top individual per-
formers Tuesday.
While a season-ending four
game winning streak and an
upset of then-No. 3 Kentucky
failed to earn UF a spot in the
Top 25, AP voters selected junior
guard Anthony Roberson and
senior forward David Lee to the
All-SEC teams.
Lee made the All-SEC sec-
ond team, and Roberson was
honored as a member of the
All-SEC first team for the sec-
ond consecutive year, becoming
the first UF player since current
Miami Heat forward Udonis
Haslem to receive consecutive
first-team honors.
Both Lee and Roberson are in
contention for the coaches' SEC
Player of the Year honors, which
will be announced today.
"I'm very proud of our team


and what we accomplished
during the SEC season," Coach
Billy Donovan said. "Through
our team efforts, we had some
individuals honored.
"I'm very proud of our
team and what we ac-
complished during the
SEC season."
Billy Donovan
UF Basketball coach


"Personally, I'm extremely
happy for both Anthony and
David. I think their efforts are
certainly deserving of this."
Lee gained his ninth
double-double during the SEC
schedule, with 11 points and
10 rebounds in his final home
game on Sunday. The effort
capped an SEC season average
of 13.9 points and 10.3 rebounds
per game.
With that, Lee became the
first UF player in 15 years to
average a double-double in
league play. _

* THE GATORS WILL BEGIN

By ANDREW ABRAMSON
-Alligator Staff Writer

Words can't describe Urban
Meyer's level of excitement heading
into spring football.
At least not the words Meyer's
forced to use.
"If I didn't give up bad language
for Lent, I'd throw some language in
there and let you know how excited I
am," he said.
Lent may have to take a three-hour
daily break beginning next Wednesday,
when UF returns to the practice field
under new management.
Meyer, already a legendary disci-

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 2005 0 ALLIGATOR, 3 SG ELECTION PROFILES Goldberg's accomplishments sculpt SG aspirations Editor's note: This is the first in a series of three articles taking a closer look at Student Body presidential candidates. By NEIL HUGHES Alligator Writer nhughes@aligator.org Joe Goldberg wants you to know that he can sing. "Throughout Gainesville, sometimes you'll find me at different establishments with a mic in my hand, singing oldies music," Goldberg said. In fact, between singing and his four years in Student Government, it's safe to say the.22-year-old Gator Party presidential candidate has spent a majority of his time at UF behind a microphone. But, he says, the devotion to the student body is worth the sacrifice. Joe Goldberg at a glance Favorite superhero: Superman Last movie you saw: Napoleon Dynamite Last CD purchased: Billy Joel Favorite public figure: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Personal hero: (mother) She's been by my side since day one, she's always been there for me when I needed her. She's been through a lot in her life that's made her-the person that she is today. "Obviously SG takes up a lot of my time," he said, "but I enjoy doing work with the students." Goldberg, a sports management senior, would like to work as a representative at a sports agency after he finishes graduate school. But before that, he'd like to be your Student Body president. -"The students need an advocate and someone who will stand up for them," Goldberg said. "I don't think that the students have had that for a while." ."I have my finger on the pulse here at the University of Florida," he added. Goldberg said his experience and connections with university, city and state officials make him the clear choice for Student Body president. "I already have the relationships," he said. "I don't have to make them." Despite his involvement in SG,, Goldberg has found time to travel around the world, having visited Italy, Scotland, Wales and Honduras, among other international locales. He said he feels his greatest personal accomplishment in SG was becoming Student Senate president. "-I think that I was able to accomplish so much as Senate president because I was able to advocate for the students," he said, adding that the position granted him the ability to open more doors to city government, the UF administration. and UF's Ei"y Harris / Alligator starr Gator Party presidential candidate Joe Goldberg sits on a bleacher inside the Swamp on Tuesday morning. Student Government elections take place March 15 and 16. Board of Trustees, the university's highest governing body.' "You can't underestimate that relationship along with getting things done with the administration, university and city government," he said. "It can't be done by someone who is just walking into this job and doesn't have the respect of the different entities." If elected, Goldberg said the first thing he would do is speak to UF administrators and the Board of Trustees, of which he would become a member. -Regardless of who the next president is, Goldberg said the students need to have their voices heard by officials. "Without the students, there would be no UF," he said. "I think the administrators forget that sometimes." Come next week's elections, set to take place March 15 and 16, the students will choose whether to give Goldberg his opportunity to let the UF administration know that. And then maybe, just maybe, you'll hear him belt out a tune.

4, ALLIGATOR M WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9,2005 ELECTIONS 2005 City candidates converge At-Large hopefuls discuss Wal-Mart, alcohol By BRIAN HAGEN Alligator Writer bhagen@alligator.org Cox Communications hosted a forum Tuesday night for all candidates rumning in the March 29 City Commission election to present their views on myriad issues relevant to the future of Gainesville, from changing bar closing times to the economic impact of a new Wal-Mart. Vying for the seat every voter in Gainesville may cast a ballot for, candidates expressed cautious support for changing the closing time of local bars and clubs. "I'm willing to work with the GPD and the commission for a more orderly evacuation of downtown," incumbent Rick Bryant said. Brinkman "I certainly don't support serving alcohol later," candidate Rob Brinkman said. "Stop alcohol sales at 2 a.m. and let people mellow out and leave when they will." "As a former parole officer, I think this sets up people for failure," candidate Diyone McGraw said about the current closing time. "We may want to have security to come and allow places to stay open utmil 3 or McGraw 4 (a.m.)" Regarding the new coal and petroleum coke-fueled power plant proposed by Gainesville Regional Utilities, Brinkman favors "multiple strategies," including exploring renewable energy and other alternatives. "When you're spending taxpayers' money, it's fundamental to seek out all options," McGraw said, supporting more studies. "Gainesville needs a leader who doesn't make up his mind before all the infornation is in," Bryant agreed., McGraw supported another Wal-Mart in Gainesville but said the current planned location "places one side of town against the other." Bryant Brinkman agreed with the sentiment of divisiveness, saying there are better sites within city limits. Bryant previously traveled to Orlando to meet with Wal-Mart officials. He wants to review the second location's plan before commenting further. Concern about the possible relocation of Shands at AGH was addressed, with McGraw supporting incentives for the hospital. "It would be a disservice to the-community to close the hospital," she said. "I can't think of a more devastating move," Bryant agreed. "What a hole that would leave when we're trying to revitalize that area." The people of East Gainesville need good health care, Brinkman said. He added that he hopes Shands Kaimnowitz will stay in the area, but, as a private corporation, it can choose to move. Fourth At-Large candidate Gabriel Kaimowitz was not present for the forum. The forumwill be broadcast on Channel 12. Forfurther coverage of this debate and the City Commission election, visit wwwv. alligator.org. In District 3, GRU plant a subject of concern Inctimbent Tony Domenech and candidates Jack Donovan and Mike Belle are competing to represent the areas west and southwest of UF's campus. D omen e c h supports GRU's proposed plant as-is. "We've been working on B.He this for 18 to 20 months," he said. "I like the direction we're traveling." "We need to study other answers," Belle countered and referred to his own energy-efficiency plan, which calls for more conservation and greater use of natural resources for fuel. "We're not as big at responsible energy usage as -we could be." Donovan cited the unpredictability of coal market prices. The City C om m iss i on' s Monday-night Donovan approval of an outside evaluation of the power plant plan was the right decision, he said. Bringing new Wal-Marts to Gainesville remained -a controversial issue. "Wal-Mart is not necessarily a good thing," Donovan said, noting that customers would be drawn away from local businesses and supportingexpanding its current location on 13th Street. D o m e n e c h agreed that expanding the Domenech existing location would be best. "I don't shop at Wal-Mart," Belle said, but saying he will keep his personal choices out of his decision. "The east side of town wants that Wal-Mart. They should have it. Tomato pickers win By DAVID COHENAlligator Writer dcoten@aIligstor.org After harvesting three-and-ahalf years of protests and negotiations, Florida's tomato farm workers finally reaped their rewards Tuesday Taco Bell announced it found suppliers willing to pass down the penny-per-pound increase the company has agreed to pay for tomatoes directly to Florida farm workers, who have long been lobbying for better wages. "This is an important victory for farm workers, one that establishes a new standard of social responsibility for the fast-food industry and makes an immediate material change in the lives of workers," said Lucas Benitez, aleader in the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, a group of tomato farm workers based in Naples, in a press release. Over the course of that time, the coalition protested approximately 10 times on UF's campus, urging students to boycott Taco Bell. According to the coalition, Taco Bell is one of the largest buyers of Florida tomatoes and could affect change within the industry. The one penny increase per pound of tomatoes bought by Taco Bell translates to an annual increase of $100,000 in the pockets of workers. I "All of the demands were met and more," Benitez said. Taco Bell -said it was just as excited. "As an industry leader, we are pleased to lend our support to and work with the [coalition] to inprove working and pay conditions for farm workers in the Florida tomato fields," Taco Bell President Emil Brolick said in the release. Workers are paid 1.2 cents per pound of tomatoes picked, but under the new contract, farm workers will be paid 2.2 cents per pound of tomatoes bought by Taco Bell. This will affect 1,000 members of the more than 2,500 workers affiliated with the coalition.However, Taco Bell Public Relations Manager Sally George said her company agreed. to pay the extra penny when the coalition's boycott began. "We had agreed-in the past to pay a penny more for our tomatoes," George said, "but we just recently found tomato suppliers who were willing to give the extra penny-per-pound directly to the farm workers." The coalition had problems of its own trying to achieve the needed wages for its members. "We hope others in the restaurant industry and supermarket retail trade will follow our leadership." Emil Brolick Taco Bell president "We have gone to the growers a number of times and were turned down," Benitez said. "We did three strikes in five years, and the growers never agreed to increase wages. We're so poor we couldn't afford to be on strike a long time. There is also this threat of being fired when you are on strike." Taco Bell and its parent company, Yum!, hope they've set a precedent. "We hope others in the restaurant industry and supermarket retail trade will follow our leadership," Brolick said in the release. Brian Payne, UF graduate and co-founder of Student Farmworker Alliance, also was happy with the progress of the deal but insists there is more work to be done. "This is the first step in the long relationship with the [coalition] to insure that all fast-food corporations and supermarket chains are accountable for the working conditions in the supply chain," Payne said. "We first formed the alliance knowing that workers are -exploited as producers and students are exploited as consumers, so we found that we were natural allies to hold corporations accountable to their social responsibilities." The Student Farmworker Alliance works with organizations at more than 200 universities to help struggling workers. --I w Te1718 W.Univ.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 5 SG hopefuls to face off By STEPHEN MAGRUDER Alligator Writer smagruder@aIIigator.org The three candidates hoping to take Student Government's top spot face a doubleheader beginning today at 1:15 p.m. in the final installment of the Abraham Lincoln Debate Series. The second will be at 5 p.m. in Room 285C at UF's Levin College of Law. Gator Party candidate Joe Goldberg, Impact's Dennis Ngin and Progress' MacKenzie Moritz will square off on SG issues on the Reitz Union Amphitheater, where candidates for treasurer and vice president debated Monday and Tuesday. Three debates have been sponsored by UF's College Republicans, and the Alligator is cosponsoring today's with the group. The Hispanic Student Association will host Thursday's debate at 7 p.m. on the Reitz Union Colonnade, followed by an Alligator-sponsored debate Friday at 9 p.m. in Reitz Union Room 283. "This is how Student Government should be," Ngin said of the debate series. "It shows just how serious this election is." Ngin said he wanted the opportunity to explain how he would make SG more efficient, and he said all candidates should be asked what 55ssr they have done to make any long-lasting, tangible changes iEectionto UP. Goldberg said he hopes today's debate focuses on party policies. "We like to focus our campaign on policy and not on different tactics," Goldberg said. "We don't have to talk negatively about other parties, because there's so much positive to talk about ours," he added. Voting begins Tuesday and continues through Wednesday. ON CAMPUS Senor to depict Iraq!ilife By KATE STOREY Alligator Contributing Writer Dan Senor, former chief spokesman for the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq, is coming to UF courtesy of Jewish Awareness Month and Accent, UF's speakers bureau. Senor will speak in the Reitz Union Rion Ballroom at 7 tonight. Senor served in the Middle East for 15 months as the senior adviser to Presidential Envoy L. Paul Bremer III, the administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority, according to a press release. "People will recognize him because he was the guy on TV every day, giving the speeches, making the news," Accent chairman David Buchalter said. Senor rode into Baghdad on the first convoy of civilians into Iraq from Kuwait less than two weeks after the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime and is one of the longest serving civilians in Iraq, according to the release. Accent and Jewish Awareness Month, a division of the Jewish Student Union, co-sponsored Senor in the hopes he will bring a couple of different perspectives about what it is like to be Jewish and involved with the war in Iraq, Buchalter said. "Being a Jew in the Middle East along with being an American put a huge bullseye on his back," Buchalter said. "Managing his faith and his job is something he will be talking about and Senor is something people deal with in their everyday lives." Senor completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Western Ontario and Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and earned his MBA from Harvard Business School, according to the release. Buchalter said he hopes Senor will draw both Jewish and non-Jewish students and will better educate the community about the Jewish religion and people. CLINIQUE BONUS TIME Free!

6, ALLIGATOR U WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9,2005 Editorial Closed session UF and SG shut students out from key discussions If anyone still isn't convinced that students are being denied a say in the decisions that affect their daily lives, the recent actions of the UF administration should be a wake-up call. In a move that could drastically alter UF's oversight over Student Government, the administration announced a shuffling of the division that supervises SG, Greek Life and the Office of Community Service. For the moment, we are going to ignore the fact that the new SG adviser, Lohse Beeland, is an honorary member of Florida Blue Key. After all of the shenanigans that have gone on recently, it's hard to feel too surprised about it. We also are going to.ignore the fact that one of the primary reasons offered for the change is that the current adviser, Dean of Students Gene Zdziarski, had to walk too far to get to the SG office. The important thing in this case is that students once again were completely denied any say in such an important matter. For one, the announcement was made during Spring Break. Since few students are here over the break, the administration obviously saw it as a convenient time to slip the decision in wider the radar without causing a stir. Worse, SG officials were not allowed to participate in any stage of the planning of this decision. Vice President for Student Affairs Patricia Telles-Irvin, who announced the decision, justified the lack of SG involvement by saying, "I included them as I was letting them know what my decisions were." Gee, thanks. I'm sure the student body will be comforted to know that she decided it would be OK to let SG know about the changes the administration was making to how SG operates. Unfortunately, this incident is only part of a trend that shows no signs of improving under the current system. Earlier this semester, UF administrators committed to rebranding the university's image, a decision that will affect the value of all students' degrees in the future. These meetings were not open to the public and were held away from campus in the towri of Sanibel and other undisclosed locations. And while it's probably not as important as these other issues, UF students certainly would like to have a say in whether or not the campus switches from Coca-Cola to Pepsi. Apparently, the UF administration thinks that it should be able to make decisions for the student body without ever consulting any students or SG members. Equally bad, other recent events have made it clear that SG has learned a thing or two from the administration. The most obvious example that comes to mind is the recent SG Supreme Court decision to deny the petition to put online voting on the ballot. The Supreme Court made this decision in a secret meeting, which they did not adequately #ublicize. Even the SG parties categorically deny knowing about the meeting. In fact, at least one executive candidate did not know about the decision until it was reported in the Alligator. Evidently, Florida's Sunshine Laws aren't enough by themselves to secure access to these meetings. Calls for students to be active and speak out for what they deserve may seem to be tired at this point in the electoral process, but cases such as these are going to keep happening until the students decide to do something about it. If SG officials that will fight for change aren't elected, SG won't ever be any better at offering access to students than it is now. If students don't let the administration know that they won't stand for decisions being made on their behalf without their consent, the administration will never reconsider its procedures. lie independent florida alli"-mor' Dayne Robinson EDITOR Mike Gimignani MANAGING EDITOR Matt Sanchez OPINIONS EDITOR Lauren Flanagan Diana Middleton Craig Singleton EDITORIAL BOARD Tte Alligator encourages comments from readers.

Opinions Guest column Column gets some Though I agree with the conclusion Jason Levitt made in his Monday column "Freedom looks more likely for China" -that a free China is closer than ever before -I don't agree with the arguments he used to reach that conclusion. In his article, he claimed "the Chinese government has an iron grip around the necks of the Chinese people," and "the National People's Congress of China convened this weekend to figure out ways to keep their chokehold tight." The Chinese government was smart enough to stop making such hostile yet vague accusations on an elected congress, while it seems Levitt was not. Levitt claimed that Chinese "Internet police" are a "veritable army of Fascist computer geeks," which I don't agree with. Like most other countries, China has a national security department (equivalent to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security) and a censorship system that deletes subversive,.erotic and terrorist content from TV, newspapers and the Internet. It's not anything new. Most young Chinese people don't like it because we believe it's too strict, but it helps protect Chinese people against terrorists. Without the department, the government may choose to put even more strict constraints on Internet service, like in North Korea. Actually, many of these "Internet police" helped give the Chinese people more freedom by compromising with the government and sacrificing their own reputation. They are unsung heroes, and I have full respect for them. Levitt further stated, "Followed by millions in China, the Falun Gong is a philosophy that mixes meditation and exercise," and he imagined that "every Chinese has received a Falun Gong e-mail. There's no way to stop it .you cannot kill the users." I totally agree that every Chinese must have received Falun Gong e-mails. Since I came to the United States in 2002, I have received at least 300 (no kidding) Falurm Gong e-mails. They never contain a link to unsubscribe like most junk e-mails do. Levitt also said that the leaders of Falun Gong had been ALLIGATOR www.aIigator.org/opinions right, much wrong arrested. But the founder of Falun Gong, Master Li Hongzhi, was not: He is living the good life here in the United States. I found an article from Tune magazine about an interview with Hongzhi in 1999. Hongzhi stated that he knew many human beings could levitate, including magician David Copperfield. He claimed his could cure all illnesses, but wouldn't do so. He further said, "The biggest cause of society's change today Fei Long is that people no longer believe in Speaking Out orthodox religion .(they are) aliens come from other planets .The aliens have introduced modern machinery like computers and airplanes .they will replace humans and aliens." It's an interesting article, and I suggest that anyone who wants to learn about the Falun Gong should read it. China is not a perfect country, and the Chinese believe we should learn from the success of other countries, including the United States and some Middle Eastern nations. Although there still is a long way to go for China to achieve direct presidential election, China has held direct elections at the village level since 1998 thanks to the help of the Jimmy Carter Foundation. It is experimenting at the county level, which has worked very well so far. At UF, more than 50% of Chinese students turned out to vote in the Friendship Association of Chinese Students and Scholars presidential election, and this year we have Pingping He, a Chinese student, running for a Student. Senator spot in Student Government. But what "gives Chinese people true hope and prosperity in the 2111 century" is neither the junk e-nails on the Internet or democracy in the Middle East, but the educated and open-minded Chinese people, including the Chinese students at UF, the "Intemet police" and the members of the National People's Congress. I want to thank Levitt for his goodwill, but I suggest he learn. a little more about China before writing an article with such prejudice, if not discrimination, in the future. Fei Long is president of the Friendship Association of Chinese Students and Scholars. The views expressed here are not necessarily those of the Alligator.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 2005 ALLIGATOR,7 Students should rally against SG elitism Editor: It is time for the Student Body to rise up and put an end to Florida Blue Key's cronyism and elitism and its stranglehold on Student Government. First, we learned about "legacy positions" and the Greek elite opposition to online voting until absolutely forced to at least pay it lip service. Now, thanks to Bridget Carey's story in Tuesday's Alligator, we see the FBK conspiracy to confuse voters by registering familiar party names under unfamiliar FBK leadership. Any party (or, in this case, any secretive good ol' boy club) that puts so much hope and effort into reducing turnout and misleading voters does not represent the Student Body. Students no longer have any excuse to pretend this SG stuff doesn't matter. If we are to have any hope of enjoying a fair democracy in this country, we ought to at least be able to create one at this institution. Remember, the Joe Goldbergs and the Gator Parties of today go on to be your state and national govermnent leaders of tomorrowthat's what FBK is all about. Goldberg should apologize and drop out of the race, the Gator Party should disband and the diversity's administration should banish FBK from campus. Sadly, that's not likely to happen. So, the students must first put an end to the FBK SG oligarchy ourselves. Then, remember the names of those involved, and in 15 years when one of them is running for Governor, remember their eagerness to deceive and mislead here at UE David Odom President, Gator Christian Democrats UN EN Columnist must learn more about China Editor: I am a graduate student at UF who was born and raised in China. I don't like the opinions in the column "Freedom looks more likely for China" from Monday's Alligator. Having spent the first 22 years of my life in my home country, I don't feel that I had "an iron grip" around my neck. I don't mind seeing reports of bad things about China at all, but this column is biased and based on limited knowledge and understanding about China and the Chinese people. What is the author trying to do -make the general public, most of whom haven't had a chance to visit China and know China better, hate China? I think the author should get to know China better before he writes columns that will be published on a campus-wide newspaper like the Alligator. This is simple, actually: I believe there are plenty of people who have spent more time in China than the author has. Just talk with them.

8, ALLIGATOR M WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 2005 STUrDeEsietaT GlOVEcandidatssT ELoEiCTneNmS 'Vi~fe Presidential candidates focus on involvement By LINDSAY TAULBEE Alligator Writer Itaulbee@aligator.org Three Student Government vice presidential candidates brought forth differing visions for improving student life at UF during a debate Tuesday, touching on tuition, student involvement with SG and university relations with the city. Robert Mack of the Impact Party, Joyce Medina of the Gator Party and Adam Roberts of the Progress Party each discussed their qualifications, outlined specific goals and, disputed the most efficient means to accomplish them. Engaging student participation in SG was a recurring concern during the debate, which was hosted by the College Republicans and Tower Yearbook. "One of the best ways to reach every student is to know what it's like to be every student," said Roberts, director of SG's Technology Cabinet. He said less effort should be spent' on SG "meet-and-greet" functions, saying students would Nick West/ Alligator Staff Vice Presidential candidates Joyce Medina (Gator Party), Robert Mack (Impact Party) and Adam Roberts (Progress Party) debate the issues Tuesday afternoon at the Reitz Union Amphitheater. rather have something done for them than to network with student leaders. Medina, who has served as a student senator and in leadership positions for several campus groups, disagreed. "I feel the meet-and-greets are efficient," she said, noting the events allow for dialogue between students and SG leaders. Addressing deficiencies in SG, Medina also said cabinets should work to co-sponsor more events with student organizations. Mack, lobby coordinator for SG, said students shouldn't have to meet with their leaders just to find out what SG does for them. One service Mack said he was working to implement was called "SG Exchange," in which students could sell things such as textbooks and furniture without having to pay a middleman. The candidates agreed on some issues, such as the importance of fighting block tuition, preserving the Bright Futures scholarship program, improving city-university relations and increasing the efficiency of the Regional Transit System. Medina, for example, suggested re-evaluating RTS routes for maximum efficiency. To improve relations with the city, Roberts suggested a plan similar to one other schools have implemented. Each Fall, he said, an elected student would serve as an adjunct member on the Gainesville City Commission. ."They would be a commissioner minus the actual voting rights," he said after the debate. Grad students criticize SG-linked health insurance Editor's note: This is one of a series of ar-. ticles highlighting issues for the upcoming Student Government elections. By JEFF SIRMONS Alligator Writer jsirmons@alligator.org UF's graduate assistants are "at the mercy of Student Government," thanks to a contract with UF administration that has granted the student teachers the same health care as undergraduate students, Graduate Assistant Union officials said. The GAU hopes SG will doctor health care for graduate assistants this year, and is using the election period to raise student awareness. "Because this is about employees, it should not be linked to SG,". said Erica Pittman, executive chair of the GAU Health Care Committee. "But we must work through SG now to get better insurance." The group plans to further bargain with JF administration and SG, arguing that the student plan does not fit older graduate assistants' needs. "Basically, the plan covers accidents and injuries, and-we need the insurance to cover chronic illnesses as well," GAU President Todd Reynolds said. "Most graduate assistants are older than 25, and we need a plan that fits people in that age bracket." While the group is working with SG parties to emphasize the importance of improved graduate assistant health care, it hopes to talk with administrators'later this year to cement a better plan. "Graduate assistants at comparable universities have employee health care plans, and if this university wants to become a Top 10 institution, it should offer the same," Reynolds said. All three Student Body presidential candidates agreed that graduate assistants should be given the same health care plan as faculty, and all three noted the work graduate assistants do for the university. "Graduate assistants at comparable universities have employee health care plans, and if this university wants to become a Top 10 institution, it should offer the same." Todd Reynolds GAU president "Graduate assistants are a major benefit to the university, especially since they provide a lot of instructional help, such as providing close interaction in really large classes," said Dennis Ngin, Impact Party presidential nominee. "They should be treated as a critical asset to the university." The competing trio also agreed graduate assistants should be given the same benefits as faculty. "The university needs to recognize them as faculty if they're going to teach," said Joe Goldberg, Gator Party presidential nominee. Their parties also are working on how SG can improve the situation. "I would make sure they (GAU) have more representation on the health insurance committee. Yes, I would," Goldberg said. Progress Party presidential candidate MacKenzie Moritz added, "as long as we appoint students who are truly concerned with health care and not there just as a resume builder, GAU should get some help." But even though the three parties willingly agreed to work on GAU's health care issue, they all felt UF administrators should be responsible for providing better insurance to graduate assistants.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9,2005 U ALLIGATOR, 9 Bush addresses taxes, Medicaid, teachers' pay STATE, from page 1 drinks served in restaurants. More significantly, he said the legislature must "rid our state of the remaining intangibles tax" on income from stocks and bonds, which he called "an insidious tax on savings and investment." While Democrats have called the plan to eliminate the tax a boon for millionaires, Bush was adamant. "It is their money, not ours," he said. "They earned it, they should keep it." Including a nine-day sales tax holiday in August, the proposed tax cuts would remove $285 million in revenue from the state budget. The next priority for Bush was controlling the cost.of Medicaid, the federal-state program that provides health insurance to 2.3 million of thestate's poorest residents. The program cost the state $14 billion last year, even though the federal government picks up approximately 60 percent of the bill. The cost has grown an average of 13 percent over the past five years -compared to a 6 percent growth in state revenue -and lawmakers are worried it will soon devour the state's budget. Bush urged lawmakers to create a "new vision for Medicaid," which "demands a transformation of the -entire system." Bush While Bush offered no specifics on what a "transformed" Medicaid system would look like, he said "the new system would use competitive market principles to unleash innovation, spurring new and better ways to serve patients." Hiring better teachers should be another priority for Florida lawmakers, Bush said, urging the legislature to submit a constitutional amendment to Florida voters that repeal the state class-size amendment that forces school districts to lower their teacher-to-student ratios. Bush said it would cost $26.4 billion to implement the amendment, which was passed by voters in 2002. He said that money could be better spent by raising teachers' starting salaries to $35,000 and tying future raises to performance instead of seniority. "We need to empower our school districts to put quality teachers in every school, and we must support our dedicated teachers with a professional pay scale that reflects their achievements and contributions," he said. This could lure more qualified teachers to Florida who could handle a few more students in their classes while improving student performance, Bush said. In the speech, Bush also recognized an Iraqi man who came to America in 1979 and a member of the Florida National Guard who will be deployed to Afghanistan on Thursday. Officials: no foul play SENATE, from page 1 and take action to pass legislation on it next week, Zdziarski said. "If all the parties are in favor of this, then let's make it happen," he said after the meeting. Nathan Skop, a law student and one of the five Supreme Court justices, addressed the Senate after Zdziarski left, emphasizing that no laws were found to be broken before the court's decision was invalidated. He said that overturning of the decision was "presumptively premature," and to allege that five law students have potentially violated state law without actually proving that occurred would be a serious allegation. He declined to comment on whether or not public notice was given for-the meeting citing that legal action potentially was pending. However, Chief Justice Tobi Butensky said in an earlier interview that while no advance notice was given, she believed the court acted properly. Zdziarski said the focus of his parting words was to ensure that SG leaders maintain their focus to serve students, especially with regard to nearly $11 million in Student Activity & Service fees. After making his speech, Zdziarski announced the Student Senate's new adviser, Associate Director of Student Activities Chris Cupoli. Cupoli and Student Activities Center Director Lohse Beeland will advise SG, including the Supreme Court, after a recent reorganization of UF's Division of Student Affairs. The proximity of the Student Activities Center to SG in the Reitz Union will provide leaders easy access to advisers, Zdziarski said. "If you are not in the midst of it, it is really difficult to provide the level of attention and support that this group deserves," he said. Friends stay, aid in search M ISSING, from page 1 Jett said Dobbins' trip was unaffiliated with the university. "We've attempted to contact whoever is involved to find out what the circumstances are," Jett said, "and what is being done about it." Assistant Dean of Students Chris'Bullins, who was informed of the missing student Monday morning, said his office is acting as a hub for support and information-gathering. He said his office is working to reach out to UF students affected by Dobbins' disappearance as well as his family. UF has not experienced a situation like this since the disappearance of David Ferguson during the Florida-Georgia football game in Jacksonville last Fall. Jett said he has been in contact with the American Embassy as well as the Canadian Embassy, which handles the affairs of Australians in San Jose, Costa Rica. The biggest obstacle, Jett said, has been the time difference, Dobbins is enrolled at UF as an exchange student from Australia's Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, one of several dozen institutions all over the world with which UF conducts exchange programs.

10, ALLIGATOR M WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9,2005 Council denies Asians 0 THE MULTICULTURAL GREEK COUNCIL VOTED THE BID DOWN. By JOHN W. COX Alligator Contributing Writer A two-year dream of becoming the first Asian-American fraternity in Florida was thwarted Tuesday night for a group of UF students. Anticipation turned into deflation for members of the Asian-American Greek Interest Group, as the decision to deny them membership to UF's Multicultural Greek Council was announced at their bi-weekly general meeting. "I feel like I just got kicked in the stomach," said AAGIG Vice President Huy Huynh. Interest groups can only be admitted with a majority vote by the seven full members of the council, said Analiz Velazquez, MGC administrative vice president. MGC Executive Vice President Alex Cosimano said AAGIG submitted a presentation at the last meeting, which met all the MGC constitutional requirements. Velazquez said AAGIG was reprimanded earlier in the school year for beginning member orientation before it was permitted to, which may have affected its bid. "I've lost faith in the ethical and moral decision-making of the council." William Russell Sigma Lambda. Beta member MGC President Kristymarie Flores said the decision surprised her, but the voting members do not always reflect the feeling in the council. Members of AAGIG were not the only ones disconcerted by the decision. "I've lost faith in the ethical and moral decision-making of the council," said William Russell, member of Sigma Lambda Beta Fraternity and MGC. MGC will decide in the upcoming months if AAGIG will be allowed to reapply. Speaker urges lung care By SKYLER SMITH Alligator Writer ssmith@alligator.org Mark Brantly doesn't take breathing, for granted. Asthmatic as a child, Brantly spent more than a decade studying Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease -a fancy name for the combined illnesses of asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema -at the National Institutes of Health. Now-a professor with the UF College of Medicine, Brantly gave a speech on COPD at UF's McKnight Brain Institute on Tuesday night, the last in a seminar series hosted by the UF General Clinical Research Center. -According to the Centers for Disease Control, COPD affected an estimated 10 million Americans in 2000, and 14 million more are suspected of having the disease, the fourth leading cause of death in the nation. "We are missing that huge group of people, that bottom of the iceberg, that are clinically undiagnosed," Brantly said to an audience of approximately 40 students, faculty and lungdisease sufferers. "We were trying to get information out to the community about clinical research and its advantages," said Barbara Frentzen, an employee at the research center. Brantly said lung cancer overtook breast cancer in 2004 as the deadliest cancer for women. He said lung disease is both more prevalent and -more lethal U F in women. Research "When I see the young girls outside the hospital smoking, I want to go over and shake them and ask, 'Do you know what you're doing?"' he said. Brantly noted that it's not environment alone that poses a risk for lung disease. "Genetic risks are now recognized as a major component of COPD," he said, adding that the activation trigger is not known. Brantly runs a COPD lab on campus that screens more than 6,000 patients annually. Treatments range from drugs to transplants, and Brantly is working on an inhalable steroid that can infuse the tiniest parts of the damaged lung without adverse side effects.

8, ALLIGATOR M WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 2005 tellar pitching leads Gators to victory against UNC I THE GATORS USED A OUR-RUN SEVENTH INNING 0 DEFEAT UNC ASHEVILLE By FARZAD SAFI Alligator Writer fsafi@alligator.org Great pitching may not wow he crowds, but it does separate a olid stbuad from a poor one. Just ask UNC Asheville. UF freshman left-hander baseball S t e p h e n JNC Asheville 1 Locke (2-0) JF 8 sin gIe__________hand edly ensured the bulldogs never stood a chance. lhe young pitcher led the Gators o an 8-1 victory with six strikeouts while allowing just three hits in six nnings. "I like these types of games," Locke said. "The game moves fastEr and you can get into a rhythm. Walks and errors cause pitchers to start to feel the heat." The Gators retired UNCAsheville's batters time and time again. Locke and right-hander Conner Falkenbach combined for 10 strikeouts while retiring the side in five of the nine innings. "Stephen Locke repeated his off-speed pitches, he located and ust pitched phenomenally," Coach Pat McMahon said. McMahon could afford a smile Catcher Brian Jeroloman led UF's offensive attack against UNC Asheville Tuesday. Jeroloman blasted hi -.second home run of the season while recording a three-hit, 3-RBI performance. after the game. The win was UF's In spite of inconsistent hitting, Jeff Corsaletti single sparked ai first error-free game of the season. the Gators batters erupted during onslaught of runs. "We have continued to improve the seventh inning. The Bulldogs Four consecutive Gators scored defensively," McMahon said. had paced themselves prior to the runs after only managing one hit ii "We've worked really hard to be outburst as UF only led 3-1. the prior three innings. a great defensive team and tonight UF's bats had fallen asleep for Ultimately, it was the pitchin showed that hard work." three consecutive innings until a that decided the game. UNC zoo; a Z; =;; GYMNASTICS Wore than just competing By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer dtreat@alligator.org It all started with a simple challenge. Upon joining UF's gymnastics team as a walk-on in fall 2003, Savannah Evans wrote down her goal for her freshman season. That goal was simply to compete. Coach Rhonda Faehn had something Alse in mind for Evans. "When she said that her goal was just 1o compete, I was floored," Faehn said. "I was like, 'Why not put down, "I want to be in all-arounder and I want to score a 10.0," because I know you genuinely want that.' Instantly she lit up, and from that point on she has been on autopilot, working so hard." Out of that challenge came success far beyond what Evans herself expected when she left Destin for UF. "When I came in as a walk-on, I definitely wanted to eventually get a scholarship," Evans said. "I didn't think it would happen that quickly. "The coaches here definitely helped me get the skills and helped me compete a lot better then I did, so I owe a lot of it to them." The aid of the UF coaching staff quickly earned Evans both a place in the school record book and national recognition as the Gators advanced to the NCAA Super Six last season. "The seniors were talking about how they had to sit out and watch the year before," Evans said. "And for us to make it as freshmen is definitely a highlight. "We got to see some of the best teams in the country and compete against them. We proved to them what we have and that we have more coming." Evans earned second team AllAmerican honors in floor exercise as a freshman, and tied the UF vault record by scoring a 10.0 against UCLA. She says her affinity for the sport has allowed her to reach such Evans heights. "That's just me," she said. "I love gymnastics, and to come in here every day and work. That feels good to me." Faehn feels that Evans has tremendous drive that has led her to success. "It wasn't until she was here, and we were able to see her work ethic, and all the hours she puts in, and her never-give-up attitude and never wanting to leave the gym, basically," Faehn said. "That alone has put her in the situation that she's in." Despite all her individual success, Evans maintains her ultimate goal of helping the team reach new heights. "I would love for our team to win SECs or nationals," Evans said. "That would be incredible. "We've never done' it, and I think we have the potential to do it this year, if not all the years after." UF may head to WNIT By MICHAEL MAURINO Alligator Writer mmaurino@alligator.org They may have been knocked out in the first round of the Southeastern Conference Tournament last week, but the season is not over for the UF women's basketball team. While UF (14-14, 5-9 SEC) is practically out of NCAA Tournament contention, the Gators could still see the postseason. The Women's National Invitational Tournament announces their brackets shortly after the Women's NCAA selections Sunday. Coach Carolyn Peck sees no shame in being part of the 32-team field. "Any opportunity to play in the postseason is definitely an accomplishment," she said. "I can't see [the WNIT] as a disappointment." But don't make any plans just yet. UF's strength of schedule is in the top-5 of most projections, but the Gators have a .500 winning percentage, which may cause a problem. The WNIT website says the tournament has teams that "were not part of the NCAA Tournament field but still finished strong and above a .500 record." On that criterion, UF would be out of the postseason. UF has lost their last four games and nine of 11. There may be also another snag. The WNIT has prospective schools send them bids to host the games, which UF has done. Part of the bidding process involves how much money the WNIT can make in gate receipts at the site. In this case UF maybe a less appealing selection. ."Any opportunity to play in the postseason is definitely an accomplishment." Carolyn Peck UF Basketball coach The team's average draw of 1,452 per home game is 11th in the SEC; because of this, an inferior team who can pull in more fans may be picked over UP. Peck said that if the Gators are invited to the WNIT, the team will accept partly because she feels postseason experience is vital to the program's overall success. "We're working to continue to improve and work to be a better team regardless or whether if it is the NCAA or WNIT," she said. "This team, their number one objective is to go out there and play their very best. Asheville recorded four wild pitches while UF's pitching and defense played nearly flawless baseball. "Anytime there is an errorless game it helps the pitching out," Locke said. Catcher Brian Jeroloman also stood out, coincidentally on the same day as being named to the Johnny Bench Award Watch List. He started his night with a feiceclearing blast off a fastball. The sophomore had an allaround game, throwing out Bulldogs at second base and even stealing a base himself. "Tonight was neat because my brother who plays for the Red Sox was watching me in the crowd," Jeroloman said. "I've hit two homers since he's been watching me and so I told him I'll pay him the rest of his salary if he just stays put in the crowd." Jeroloman was honored with his success but stressed the team's win. "The recognition means a lot to me," he said. "It shows hard work .pays off and I feel very special." s McMahon was very proud of his young catcher but made sure to n explain a team tradition. "We have a special something d in our ball club," McMahon said. n "All individual awards are team awards. So if he wins it, you can g be sure he will accept it on behalf of the team."

"I shouldn't say that, but [Siler's] my favorite guy," Meyer said. "That's the way it is." Siler and Earl Everett will be joined by a few of their offensive counterpoints. Meyer's offense doesn't call for a fullback, so Billy Latsko and Eric Rutledge will move to linebacker. Mat of horror These days, it seems Fason and Crowder got off light. Former coach Ron Zook was labeled a player's coach. Meyer's practice strategy seems to come straight out of the Bear Bryant school of discipline. "I think it's a combination of intensity, discipline and accountability," Meyer said of his infamous, mat drill. A quickness-and-agility drill done on a mat sounds easy enough, but don't be fooled. Easy isn't Meyer's style. The seniors perform the drills first. If they make a mistake, it's back to the mat. Meyer said the freshmen didn't even participate the first few days because the seniors just couldn't get it right. "When we ask you to put your foot behind a white. line, it's not a request," Meyer said. "You've got to do it and do it over again, and do it the right way." Seeing stars Meyer realizes that Zook recruited most of the Gators. Zookefforts landed players like Leak, Siler and Andre Caldwell. But other players; so-called topnotch recruits, according to so-called recruiting experts, have yet to pan out. Meyer said that in the future, he would watch more video of recruits instead of relying on the subjective ranking system. "There's a couple of defensive ends that has the word 'Parade [AllAmerican]' in front of them, where so-and-so is [rated] five stars, nine stars, 27 stars, whatever that means, [and they] haven't played a down," Meyer said. His message to the underachievers? "It's time to put up or shut up, as they say." Lee, Roberson chosen All-SEC MEN'S, from page 20 the NBA, scored a game-high 21, including a pair of game-winming free throws in potentially his final UF hone game. Roberson led the SEC in league play as the only player to average more than 20 points (20.8). Pending his performance in the SEC and NCAA tournaments, Roberson could become the first UF player to claim a conference scoring title since Ronnie Williams in 1982. Roberson's first-team teammates include Kentucky's Chuck Hayes, Mississippi State's Lawrence Roberts, Alabama's Kennedy Winston and SEC Player of the Year Brandon Bass of Louisiana State. BULLPEN, from page 20_ media that some of his players stink. But he made it dam easy to read between the lines. Meyer likes juggling to phrases: "great guys" and "nice guys.They're interchangeable in fact. Plug the words into a Meyer-English translator, and you might get: "lazy guys" and "unproductive guys." "A great guy can only take you so far," said Meyer Wednesday. "You have to be a good football player." Simple enough, but when's the last time you heard something so candid from UF's football coach? Tuesday Meyer said more in 25 minutes than Zook did in 3 years. Regarding the way he treats players after their conditioning drills: "Champions get treated pretty good around here and non-cliampions pretty poorly," he said. Meyer also referred to UF's running backs as a "panic situation." And' he tagged linebacker Brandon Siler as his favorite.: How Joining Lee on the second team is Kentucky's Kelenna Azubuike, SEC Newcomer of the Year Glen Davis of LSU, Alabama's Earnest Shelton and Arkansas' Ronnie Brewer. Despite the individual accolades and momentum gained by breaking an eight-game losing streak to Kentucky, the Gators finished just out of Monday's AP Top 2 The Gators received the most votes of any non-ranked team, finishing six points behind No. 25 Charlotte. ."A lot of people say negative things about Florida, and we can't satisfy everybody," said Roberson after the Kentucky win. "But I do know I play with a group of guys that fought hard and beat Kentucky. And that's the headline." many coaches can say they've done that with a player? But maybe you're not an honesty booster. If so, chew on these hypothetical situations. What if Barry Bonds would gush with confessions instead of testosterone? What if someone would have candidly told Kwame Brown that he wasn't ready for the NBA? Obviously Meyer hasn't used honesty to save careers, but it's the principle that matters. With Meyer, you'll never wonder why lFE's running backs suck. He'll tell you. With Meyer, you'll nevtr pick up your paper on a Friday morning and wonder what "Chad Jackson has torn ligaments but he's fine," means. Heck, if Chris Leak stubs his fingers playing Xbox, Meyer would not only tell us, he'd probably flaunt the controller and stitches to prove it. 4 Still think honesty's overrated? That's a right. Meyex will _cndidly f you it's isn't. 'aa".t"to

S p gWEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 200rts WENESDAY, MARCH 9, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org MEWS BASKETBALL UF pair recognized Gators running back DeShawn Wynn's struggles mirror UF's dire running back situation entering spring practice. Wynn will battle Skyler Thornton and Markus Manson for the starting job. Relentless spring awaits Gators THE GATORS WILL BEGIN PRACTICE NEXT WEDNESDAY. By ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff Writer aabramson@aIligator.org Words can't describe Urban Meyer's level of excitement heading into spring football. At least not the words Meyer's forced to use. "If I didn't give up bad language for Lent, I'd throw some language in there and let you know how excited I am," he said. Lent may have to take a three-hour daily break beginning next Wednesday, when UF returns to the practice field under new management. Meyer, already a legendary disciplinarian from his days at Utah and Bowling Green, held his pre-spring football press conference on Tuesday. And the first-year UF head coach admitted certain words could accidentally slip out during practice. Exptct the new-look, or no-look, tailback corps to receive much of the lashing early on. No running start "It starts with the run game, it starts with being physical," said Meyer of UF's offensive game plan. "Right now, we're in a little bit of a panic situation. We have three scholarship tailbacks who haven't done a darn thing around here." There's plenty of hype surrounding the Gators next season. ESPN's Dan Meyer Shannoff boldly predicts UF to finish second only to defending national champion Southern Calforrua next year. Meyer anticipates impressive seasons from quarterback Chris Leak and UF's wide range of receivers. But arguably UF's biggest star in 2004, running back Ciatrick Fason, is heading to the NFL a year early, leaving Meyer with a gaping hole in the running game. Junior DeShawn Wynn, UF's touchdown leader in 2003, would be the obvious choice. Due to injuries and work ethic issues, Wynn played little in 2004, and Meyer seemed far from sold on him. Another candidate for Fason's replacement is Skyler Thornton, Fason's backup throughout much of last year, who Meyer said has had a "nice offseason." Highly recruited Markus Manson redshirted in 2004. Meyer's early assessment: "Markus Manson is a nice guy." So much for an endorsement.
