SG ELECTIONS
Progress files election complaints, alleges collusion
By BRIDGET CAREY
and NEIL HUGHES
Alligator Staff Writers
More students have claimed the
Gator Party is promising positions
in Student Government, and elec-
tions officials are investigating the
complaint.
An e-mail on a Delta Sigma Pi
listserv stating fraternity members
have been promised positions
in exchange for Gator votes has
spurred one of six election com-
plaints against the Gator and Impact
parties, all filed by Progress Party
spokeswoman Rosemarie Clouston.
The complaints also address parties'
failures to submit campaign finance
reports,
A candidate for SG Supreme
Court, Student Sen. Andrew
Hoffman, also was hit with a com-
plaint for supporting Impact though
Supreme Court candidates are re-
quired to remain politically neutral
inSG.
The Election Commission will
meet at 8:30 tonight in the SG confer-
ence room to discuss the complaints
and make a ruling on what punish-
ment the parties will face, if any.
A promising e-mail
Michael Coogan of Delta Sigma
Pi, a business fraternity, sent out the
following e-mail to the fraternity's
Yahoo listserv:

SG ELECTIONSdorses N
Sowell endorses Ngin at rally
By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.porg
Student Body President Jamal
Sowell announced his support of
the Impact Party at a Florida Gym
campaign rally Sunday, dealing
a blow to a precedent in Student
Government elections.
"Dennis Ngin is the most quali-
fied, most deserving and most ap-
propriate choice to be the Student
Body president of the University
of Florida," said Sowell of his trea-
surer.
"Dennis is a public servant. His
involvement has never been in a
master plan to garner power; the
impetus of his own involvement
was a sincere concern for student
life and a passion to make a differ-
ence."
However, Sowell understood
that problems could cross his desk
during his last few weeks in office
following the Sunday endorse-
ment.
"It is unorthodox for a sitting
president to endorse a candidate to
be his successor, but I am compelled
to break this tradition because of
my sincere love-and dedication to
this student body," he said.
Sowell said that he is happy
with the state of SG because of
the changes created by his party,
Access.
Though Ngin is Student Body
treasurer with Access, a Florida
Blue Key member took the party
name early in the election season
to confuse and discourage student
voters, according to an Alligator
investigation and anonymous
sources.
"It is unorthodox for a sitting
president to endorse a can-
didate to be his successor,
but I am compelled to break
this tradition because of my
sincere love and dedication
to this student body."
Jamal Sowell
Student Body president
Following the name-claiming
troubles, party members chose the
name Phoenix but decided later on
the name Impact.
"There is no need to change the
tune of the orchestra," Sowell said.
"Regardless of all of the politics,
he has maintained his tune. The
orchestra needs Dennis Ngin as its
conductor."
However, Ngin said he was not
convinced that the endorsement
would pull the election his way.
"We're definitely up against a
lot. It's not an easy election. We
don't have an army of people. It's
up to students," he said.
Student Sen. Mike Belle, a can-
didate for the Gainesville City
Commission, also revealed his sup-
port for Ngin at the rally.
Belle walked into the lecture
hall wearing a suit and throughout
his speech he gradually undressed
revealing an Impact T-shirt under-
neath.
He called the Impact Party the
"underdogs."
"We heed to be for all students,"
he said.
About 60 Impact supporters at-
tended the rally.
Students will have the opportu-
nity to choose new representatives
in the Student Government election
Tuesday and Wednesday.
Presidential candidates and
Voice treasurer candidate Justin
Lauer will debate today at noon on
the Reitz Union Ampitheater.

SG ELECTIONS
Presidential hopefuls debate basketball etiquette
By BRIDGET CAREY
Alligator Staff Writer
bcarey@alligator.org
They debated conspiracy theories and online voting, but
in Friday's Alligator-hosted Student Body presidential de-
bate, all three candidates easily agreed on one thing: Students
should be able to rush the court after a Florida victory.
The Gator Party's Joe Goldberg, Impact's Dennis Ngin
and Progress' MacKenzie Moritz faced three Alligator editors
monitoring the debate and dishing out most of the questions.
"I don't see why not," Ngin said of stu-
dents rushing the field. "Let's have some
fun."
Goldberg agreed, noting that team
spirit is one of the best things about UF's
campus. Moritz agreed with his opponents
with a laugh and quick answer of his con-
sensus, "No really, rush the field." -
Goldberg The three candidates will battle for
control of Student Government and power
over nearly $11 million of students' fees during the election
Tuesday and Wednesday.
Questions also came from the candidates themselves who
had the opportunity to ask one question with a follow-up to
each of their opponents. The nearly 80 attendees also had the
chance to ask questions of the contenders.
The competing trio squirmed in their seats when asked
whom they would support if a runoff election occurred. A
presidential candidate must receive a majority of votes to
win. If no candidate receives a inajority, then the two parties
with the most votes will go head to head in a run-off election
held the following week. .
Ngin said he would support Progress' Moritz because he
has great respect for him.
Goldberg also said he would vote for Moritz because he
admired the passion he showed, having only been involved
in SG for a year.
With Moritz the last to answer, he paused and said, "I
think I would spend a lot of time in the voting booth."
Lightening the mood but avoiding the answer, Moritz
added, "I have a lot more time to make up my mind, and I'm
going to use all of it that I can."
Asked about a connection between SG and the leadership
organization Florida Blue Key, Goldberg was the only candi-
date who did not give a general response.
"There is absolutely no role in Student Government with
Florida Blue Key," Goldberg said, who
is an FBK member. "Some great Student
Government leaders happen to be in
[Florida] Blue Key," he said, explaining
i that just because a student is active in both
SG and FBK organizations, it doesn't mean
FBK has anything to do with SG.
Ngin and Moritz both said they were not
Ngin FBK members so they could not speculate
the answer to the question, but Moritz proposed that the
"negativity" associated with FBK is probably the fault of par-
ticular students and not the organization as a whole.
The weakest link
Candidates addressed a question about what is the weak-
est part of their platform. Goldberg said that there was noth-
ing weak about his platform, and everything was feasible to
accomplish.
The weakest part of the Progress Party platform, Moritz
said, is that some of his goals have been seen in elections past.
He says it's discouraging for students to read the same plat-
forms throughout the years and "see nothing get done."
-Impact's weakness was what they call the "Impact
Challenge" and trying to inspire the average student to get
involved.
Goldberg said students should not only look at a parties'
platforms, but rather "who can implement the platforms the
best." He argued the Gator Party has the best chance to ac-
complish the most because of his four years of experience in
SG and the connections he has made with campus and city
officials during that time.
Students who attend UF's satellite schools still pay the
same amount of Activity & Service Fees, yet they don't get to
reap the same benefits from paying the fees as do Gainesville
students. While Moritz gave a general statement about mak-
ing sure students are getting their money's worth, Goldberg
and Ngin went further.
Ngin said that the key is to give dis-
tanced students a way to become involved
in SG, and one step can be to offer those
students early voting and mail-in ballots in
future SG elections.
Goldberg said that the current Satellite
Campus Cabinet should be better utilized.
oritz Ngin said the biggest mistake made
while working with Student Body President Jamal Sowell
was that they waited too long to accomplish their platform
goals and encourage student involvement.
"My goal is to always shoot higher," Ngin said.
Goldbeig said that his platform to prevent ~JF from being
a dr\ campus, comes from a negative attitude the UF admin-
istration has toward his push for extending bar-closing times
in Gainesville.
"Administration has fought me every step of the way,"
Goldberg said about his goal to keep bars open one hour lon-
ger but not extend the time for alcohol sales for student
.safety.
Every candidate was inmsupport of online voting for future
SG elections, but Goldberg made it clear that he was not in
support of online voting until after the elections and after
more research has been collected.
PUBLIC SAFETY
Firefighter charged
By MEGAN V. WINSLOW
Alligator Writer
mwinslow@alligator.org
An Alachua County Fire
Rescue firefighter was arrested
and charged with aggravated
battery after allegedly shooting a
Gainesville man Sunday morning.
Brian Richard
Minnich, of 2330
SW Williston Rd.,
was off duty at
an acquaintance's
house," Baron
A. Krevetske of
318 NW 24th St.,
Minnich when an argu-
ment between the men escalated,
said Gainesville Police spokesman
Keith Kameg.
"They were arguing and it got
louder it got physical," Kameg
said.
Krevetske pulled out a flash-
light and proceeded to break
out several of the windows of
Minnich's car while he was inside,
according to a GPD report.
After Krevetske stepped away
from the vehicle, Minnich bran-
dished a .40-caliber handgun and
shot Krevetske twice, in the.leg
and upper chest, reports state.
A handgun was recovered
from Minnich's pockets, and he
expressed concern for the victim,
reports state.
"How is the guy I shot?"
Minnich reportedly said after be-
ing arrested: "He's going to live,
right?"
Although Kameg said he be-
lieves the incident occurred be-
cause of a missing purse, witnesses
said it might have stemmed from
an argument over a girl.
One of Krevetske's room-
mates,. UF student Gavin Keiner,
said there have been incidents of
"violent behavior" by Krevetske
before.
"I'm shocked and fed up,"
Keiner said. "I'm glad he's okay,
but this is too much I'm a stu-
dent and I don't need gunfights in
my front yard."
Minninch's status with Alachua
County Fire Rescue remains un-
certain.
"Anyone has certain rights, and
we don't just take arbitrary action
without evaluating the situation,"
ACFR Chief Will Gray May said.
Minnich, a firefighter emer-
gency medical technician, has
been with the department for four
years.
Krevetske remains in critical
but stable condition.
AGH awaits re-accreditation
* SHANDS AT AGH'S MARCH 2002 IN-
SPECTION RECEIVED NEGATIVE MARKS.
By IVETTE MENDEZ
Alligator Writer
imendez@alligator.org
Tension among Shands staff last week
was eased Friday as the Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations com-
pleted its round of inspections.
-But it will be another month of anticipation,
especially for the troubled Shands at AGH facil-
ity, before the hospitals learn whether they've
received re-accreditation from the commission.
Shands Marketing and Public Relations
spokesman Lance Skelly did not express concern
about the three-day inspection, a routine proce-
dure done every three years.
"This is simply AGH's year," Skelly said in an
e-mail.
"Accreditation inspections typically span three
days and include site visits and interviews with
patients, employees and physicians in order to
determine that compliance standards are being
met," he added.
But during the AGH branch's last inspection in
March 2002, it received negative scores in heart-
failure and pneumonia care.-
The commission required improvements from
the hospital staff in those two areas before grant-
ing it full accreditation a year later in March 2003.
Accreditation is awarded based on how\ well
organizations meet-the commission's standards,
Skelly said in the e-mail.
Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan has contacted UF
President Bernie Machen, Shands CEO Tim
Goldfarb and Congresswoman Corrine Brown
regarding the hospital's condition.
Hanrahan requested assistance from Brown in
a letter in coniiideiation of the "substannal por-
tion of Gainesville's population" served by AGH.
Closing AGH would leave a huge health care
gap, Hanrahan said in the letter.
Brown has been involved with Gainesville in
other projects, such as helping to obtain $6,000 in
federal funding for Depot Park.
Hanrahan said despite Brown's shared con-
cerns, she didn't know about the feasibility of
federal funding.
"It is the busiest emergency room in
town."
Pageen Hanrahan
Gainesville-mayor
"She was very concerned," Hanrahan said.
The hospital is not performing proper upkeep
of its infrastructure and must either close or reno-
vate, Hanrahan said.
"It is the busiest emergency room in town,"
she said.
But Shands owns enough land to rebuild at
its current location according to a study done by
UF's College of Architecture.
The surrounding property is sufficient to sup-
port AGH's needs for renovation.
Shands CEO Tim Goldfarb declined comment
on any future plans for renovation.
"While no decisions have been made, renova-
tion at the current site, as well as rebuilding at the
current site or at a different location are options
that have been discussed," Skelly said in the e-
mail.
The Shands HealthCare Board soon will be
releasing a possible plan for the redevelopment
of Shands at AGH.
Any redevelopment plan adopted will require
that patient care continue at the highe-.t quality
standards in the current facility for several more
years. Full implementation likely will span five to
seven years, he added.

Progress is
cleanest in
a dirty race
A ll three parties in this year's
Student Government elections
have their relative advantages
and their own share of political excre-
ment to wash off.
We don't consider Voice a party.
The Gator Party boasts the most-
qualified-on-paper presidential candi-
date in Joe Goldberg. But in the ulti-
mate test of leadership mettle, paper
sucks. For one, Gator's other executive
candidates are thoroughly forgettable.
We don't think this is coincidence.
Goldberg always has portrayed him-
self as the star of the show. Last year he
took the Student Senate into his own
hands by ignoring senators who mo-
tioned to appoint someone he didn't
like as SG Productions chairman.
Recently, he railed against, then
supported, then waffled back on on-
line voting,
which SG's
own reports
show is "safer
than ISIS."
Because he
is the Greek-
Mike Gimignani backed candi-
Editorial Notebook date, it is easy
to dismiss
mgimignani@alligator.org to dism
our criticism
of Goldberg.
Frankly, we don't care. Our feelings
against Gator run far deeper than that.
Many have named Gator officials as
participants in shady deal-making,
and we believe at least some of the ac-
cusations are true.
We don't want to feel our representa-
tion is being sold on the open market.
Dennis Ngin poses the opposite
problem for us: while we have few
questions of his desire to. support the
student body, we are concerned with
his fortitude. Several times last week,
Ngin answered questions on possible
oversight during his stint as treasurer
by blaming others. That certainly
doesn't exude strength of leadership.
We wonder how much power he
would wield on the Board of Trustees,
as its sole voting student member. His
boss, Jamal Sowell, followed months
of promising student representation
by voting for block tuition. Ngin said
he didn't talk to Sowell about the deci-
sion. Blunders like that are credibility
destroyers, especially on the board.
MacKenzie Moritz, Progress' presi-
dential candidate, may not be the best
answer to that challenge. He is by far
the least outwardly qualified of his
pack, and his ability to garner support
among SG insiders will no doubt be an
ongoing concern should he be elected.
We believe, however, he will over-
come these paper handicaps.
In addition, Progress candidate
Susan Vaz Henriques puts the other
hopefuls for treasurer to shame. Having
worked in SG finance for years, she
seems the most able of any executive
candidate to separate students' needs
from her position's politics.
In short, less than two months
distances these warring factions from
having to work together again, and we
feel the least political of these parties is
the best for us lowly students.
Mike Gimignani is managing editor
of the Alligator.

Bottom line: The students want online voting
W e don't need candidates to tell us
that their constituents support online
voting. Our own poll taken over the
weekendshows more than 70 percent of stu-
dents believe in the measure the same way
they did the last time. And the time before that.
In fact, every time this pesky issue pops its

Editorial
Pro-Progress
Party offers change and
emphasis on students
making an official endorsement is no easy task,
and the Alligator editorial board's choice for this
Student Government election was no different.
We had to look at many factors in order to determine
which party best represents the students' needs, provides
the most access for students and has the ability to stand up
for the students and actively fight to make change happen.
We interviewed every candidate on the executive ballot
in order to get a sense of how they personally would do
their job. We held debates so the students could see first-
hand the positions of each candidate on the issues. Finally,
we considered all of our findings in an especially long meet-
ing of the editorial board so we could be sure we supported
the right party.
In every stage of this process, the Progress Party emerged
as the clear victor.
They are the only party that has not demonstrated in the
past a tendency to shy away from decisions that would ben-
efit the student body at the possible cost of damage to their
SG careers. They are the only party that has not, as far as
we've seen, resorted to shady dealings in order to advance
their own interests. They are the only party that has put
together a detailed platform based on the input of average
students not just an elite minority.
Despite what the Gator Party and Impact Party will tell
you, pandering to powerful multicultural organizations
is not the same as "reaching out to the average student."
These organizations no more represent the collective will
of the people who fall under their racial, religious or other
groups than the Greek councils represent the will of all stu-
dents in fraternities and sororities.
To put it simply, Progress is the only party-that seems
honestly to hold the interests of the students as its highest
priority. Progress has withstood our tests and emerged as
a positive choice in an election season plagued by negative
campaigning and corruption.
We hope you will use this sort of rigorous process of
examining and comparing the candidates when you make
your choice on Tuesday and Wednesday. Take our opinions
Into consideration, because we have the resources to make
in-depth comparisons that are logistically improbable for
students to match, but take the time to do your own re-
search.
While you are doing so, don't confine your consideration
to the executive tickets. At the end of the day, the Student
Senate has as much (if not more) influence in the actual
workings of SG as the executive branch does.
If you want to see change, don't vote for your executive
candidates and blow off the senators. Also, don't necessar-
ily vote for a straight ticket of senators from the party you
voted for on the executive ticket.
When you look closely at the parties, we are confident
you will come to the same conclusion that we did: Progress
is the best for the students.
Everyone by now is tired of hearing about the elections
from their friends, from the Alligator and, most of all, from
the flier-dispensing party inembers who accost students
across campus.
Hopefully, you are more tired of hearing about the con-
stant stream of corrupt, unrepresentative and sometimes
simply inept actions that come from SG.
If you would rather have an end to these complaints,
the first step is getting off of your couch, going to the poll-
ing place and letting everyone know that you want to see
Progress in SG.

Despite issues, we love the 'home run'
T he are some interesting parallels between America's
two national pastimes baseball and politics. The
reigning kings of these sports, Barry Bonds and
George W. Bush, have been under attack over integrity
issues issues that point to deeper problems within their
respective sports and threaten to bring down each house
of cards. But Bonds and other big-league behemoths
should not worry. Once again, the American people will
learn to stop worrying and love the home run.
Next week, there will be congressional hearings where
politicians can be counted on to make grand speeches and
take politically expedient positions. This time, however,
members of Congress will be grilling beefy baseball play-
ers instead of shifty-eyed public officials.
The subject matter will also be drastically different.
War, terrorism, "intelligence" and WMDs will not be hot
topics of discussion. Instead,: the issue will be steroids
- who bought them, sold them and used them.
Bonds hasn't been called to testify yet, but it took a
while to get Bush to go too.
In both cases, it was a tell-all book that boiled the broth.
In the game of politics, it was Richard Clarke's book,
"Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror."
For baseball, it was Jose Canseco's book, "Juiced: Wild
Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits, and How Baseball
Got Big."
Both books are damning accounts from insiders that
take aim at the top player, among others. According to a
New York Times report, Canseco writes that he inspired
Bonds to use steroids at a home run contest in Las Vegas
in February 2000. At the contest, Canseco took off his shirt
and showed off his muscled, 255-pound body. Canseco's
body caught the eye of Bonds, who asked Canseco how he
had gotten so huge.
"(Bonds) showed up in spring 2001 with 40 pounds of
added muscle,".Canseco writes.
Clarke also aimed for the top when he wrote that Bush
"failed to act prior to September 11 on the threat from
Jason Levitt
The Watchtower
al Qaeda despite repeated warn-
ings." The shift of focus to Saddam
Hussein, Clarke wrote, "launched
an unnecessary and costly war in
Iraq that strengthened the funda-
mentalist, radical Islamic terrorist
movement worldwide."
Like Bush, Bonds has learned
letters@alligator.org that the best defense is a good of-
fense. Bonds was quoted in USA
Today as saying, "I don't know
Canseco, besides hello and goodbye. I don't put any
weight into what he says ... It's to make a buck, that's all
it is."
The White House had fought back similarly. According
to CNN, Bush's attack dog Dick Cheney said Clarke
"wasn't in the loop" on major decisions ard might hold a
personal grudge against Condi Rice.
But the White House strategy isn't just to attack the
credibility of the blabbering insider. It is, most impor-
tantly, to tell the fans to forget about the past, move on
and watch the home runs.
The home runs for the White House have been the
capture of Hussein and, later, the elections in Iraq. They
tell us, the fans, not to worry about how they pumped up
their case for war in order to hit them in the first place. The
important thing is to watch the power and beauty of the
home run, take another swig of beer and cheer the hitter
as he rounds the bases.
I believe Bonds will take a lesson here from the Babe
of the political game. He will come back to the ballpark
strong and won't give an inch to his attackers. He knows
that, once he starts hitting those tape-measure home runs
and breaking those incredible records, the fans will stop
grumbling; rise from their seats and cheer him as he
rounds the bases.

Letters to the Editor
Gator stance shows deeper motivations
Editor: It seems the Gator Party is adamant
against online voting because of "security is-
sues." It seems to me the GatorLink accounts
are set up for that reason; the fact that we deal
with finances and register for our classes on-
line shows that doing things online is very safe.
Banks and credit card companies would not
have online banking if it weren't in their best
interests, and these are Student Government
elections not one's life savings.
I think the real reason goes deeper, though.
It's no secret that the fraternities and sorori-
ties ask their members to keep their "I voted"
stickers and give them points or whatever it
may be to make sure they have those votes for
their candidates. With no such incentive, many
students don't go out and vote, yet online vot-
ing would make it much easier for students to
take that initiative. The Gator Party does not
want to make it easier for the average student
to vote. Keeping this monopoly on voting is
just a way of making the Greek votes count
that much more. In essence, not supporting
online voting is just a way of keeping SG the
elitist system that currently is in place.

Students share the blame for problems
Editor: The recent discourse in the Alligator
has stated the administration doesn't take stu-
dent opinion into account when making deci-
sions that affect us. I agree, but students par-
tially are to blame: Just as politicians tend not
to care-about people who don't vote, adminis-
trators never are going to take student opinion
seriously when we don't do everything in our
capacity to represent our interests.
Students have voting membership on
nearly every university and presidential com-
mittee that touches on issues of student life.
The problem, though, is trifurcate: students
don't know about these positions because they
aren't very well-publicized; students often are
put into these positions as political favors,
rather than for reasons of merit, as some com-
mittees are highly sought-after arid powerful;
and students who are appointed often don't
care enough actually to attend the meetings.
Administrators can't be expected to stay on
top of every happening in SG to see all that we
do for the students, so the impression many
administrators get stems directly from student
involvement in committees. When students
shirk their duties, administrators know they
can walk over us with impunity because we
don't exercise our vote. This isn't to say that all
administrators behave this way I've sat on
a number of faculty committees that welcome
and encourage student's perspectives. But, for
the most part, this is the impression that I get.
Why should the administration give us
any more responsibility in decisions made in
ad-hoc committees or in everyday university
business when students don't take their cur-
rent responsibilities seriously?

Guest column
Want to begin by sincerely thanking
all of my supporters and everyone
who has worked to make the Gator
Party what it is today. We started as just
a small group of students with a vision
for a better Student Government and
have become one of the most unified
and energetic organizations on campus.
I would also like to thank Dennis Ngin
and MacKenzie Moritz and everyone
working on the Impact, Progress and
Voice campaigns. Anyone willing to
give so much of themselves just to have
a shot at serving the student body has
truly earned my gratitude and respect. I
would also like to thank the Alligator for
the opportunity to speak on these pages.
Despite our differences, the Alligator and
I have at least one thing in common: We
want what is best for the student body.
Students need to understand how
much is at stake in this election. This
could be the year that threats to Bright
Futures finally are put to rest, bar closing
time finally is extended, prepaid online
music downloading finally becomes a
reality and the issues that really mat-
ter to students finally find their place
at the very top of SG's priorities. Now,
more than ever, students need to elect a
candidate with a proven track record of
success in advocating for students.
For four years, I have fought for
students. I have broken down the walls
of the administration, I have ampli-
fied our voice in the Gainesville City
SCommission and I have overseen our
state and nationwide lobbying efforts.
As president of the Student Senate, I
opened the doors to SG with a speakers
series called "Orange, Blue and You." I
was able to coordinate the first-ever joint
Student Senate/City Commission meet-
ing in the Reitz Union, so students could
hold their local representatives account-
Guest column
T tomorrow, students will have to make
an important decision: They will decide
who will lead their student body into the
next year. I challenge you to learn about each
party and choose the one which best represents
your concerns as a student. The Impact Party is
committed to being open, honest and effective.
We sincerely value integrity and trust. Most im-
portantly, our party values effectiveness. There
is a difference between saying you will accom-
plish your goals and actively achieving them.
Members of the Impact Party and I have a re-
cord of effectively achieving our goals. Because
I've made a tangible difference in the lives of
students this past year, I've been recognized as
one of the Top 20 student leaders in Florida.
This past year, I went beyond my traditional
role as Student Body treasurer and authored a
legislative bill against block tuition. My leader-
ship on this issue extended to the statewide bill
in the Florida Students Association that united
Florida universities against block tuition. I am
the only candidate to have worked prQactively
for downloadable music. I've been in contact
with Sony Music Corporation to develop a
program that fits student's needs. This admin-
istration effectively extended wireless Internet
on campus, fulfilling a promise we made year
ago. One issue that has been discussed for years
was accomplished in a few months through ef-
fective lobbying: I've worked diligently to find
a space for students in the Shands area to have
a workout room. Last week, it was confirmed a
space had been found and simply needs to be
filled with equipment by SG.
Our platform boasts many original issues
that will affect the future of. our student body.
The Impact Party was the first to push online
voting and campaign finance reform. We even
able without having
to leave campus. I
even traveled with
administrators and
city leaders to New
Haven, Conn.,
where we studied
one of the most effective university-to-
city relationships in the nation. I have
attended every Board of Trustees meet-
ing over the past year and now sit as the
chair of the Recreational Sports Board.
To be able to walk into the job of Student
Body president and begin advocating for
students from day one, you must have
put in the time to develop the personal
and professional relationships needed to
earn the respect of the people you will be
working with: I have built these relation-
ships and have the knowledge and expe-
rience needed to get the job done right.
These should be the qualities stu-
dents look for in a candidate for Student
Body president. Anyone can talk the
talk, but students must demand more
from their candidates than sound bites.
They must demand a track record of
success in advocating for students
and fighting for the issues that matter,
Students must reject the tactics of nega-
Stivity and mudslinging and vote for the
party with the best ideas and the greatest
chance of making them happen. Please
take the time to read about the Gator
Party at www.thegatorparty.com or stop
to talk with our candidates on campus.
When you walk into the polling booth
and cast your vote for the Gator Party
this Tuesday and Wednesday, you will
be proving that the power of the Gator
spirit is alive and well at U. Let's bring
the Gator spirit back to SG, so SG can be
brought back to every Gator.

to see a GPS tracking sys-
tem installed on buses,
so students don't have to
Swait in the rain, cold or

track the buses online and
go to the bus stop when
the bus approaches.
Over this past year, I've worked with
President Machen and the vice president of
Student Affairs, Dr. Telles-Irvin, on your behalf.
I also sit on the committee that will select the
new UF Provost. In my year as treasurer, I've
seen the things that student organizations
and individual students can achieve, and I've
worked to make the visions of student leaders
a reality. As Student Body president, I'll serve
students, not the administration.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, you'll also
choose a Student Body vice president. I've
asked-Robert Mack to be my running mate
because of his experience as a student leader.
As lobby coordinator, Mack has been effective
in stopping increases in towing rates and work-
ing to ensure that block tuition never becomes
a reality. He has proactively worked with city
and state officials onr behalf of our student
body. Mack and I are the only two candidates
who have had the opportunity and experience
of working for you in the executive branch of
SG. Together, we've served the students of UF.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, elect Mack and
myself if you want leaders with a history of
results and a vision for the future.

Guest column
V oice Party, the "Party of
Independents," would like
to encourage all students to
vote March 15 and 16 in the Student
Government elections. Every student
pays Activity & Service Fees, which are
spent by SG officials, so it is only ap-
propriate that all students should care
to vote and voice their opinions as to
how this money is spent.
Voice highly encourages split-ticket
voting as a way to ensure a true system
of checks and balances. To emphasize
multi-party representation, Voice only
has one executive candidate: myself,
Justin Lauer, for Student Body treasur-
er. Voice party members and support-
ers will be voting for me in the treasurer
race and a different party for president
and vice president.
The treasurer is important because
all SG funding goes through this office.
The treasurer can approve or veto fund-
ing in accordance with SG statutes. This
person should be neutral and should
not owe anybody favors or participate
in back-door politics. I was elected to
Senate as an independent candidate.
After winning the race, .members of
other parties contacted me to convince
me to be vocal in lastyear's presiden-
tial runoff election. However, I did.not
vocally support or endorse either party
- I remained independent.
Voice already has made history at
UF by being the first party to ever run
only a treasurer on the executive ticket.
On the legislative side, Voice only is
running a select Senate slate in certain
colleges and hopes all four parties with
candidates slated will be represented in
Senate. This should be very attractive.
For example. Adam Mize is the only
voicee graduate Senate candidate. i hile.
Guest column
ll three of the presidential candidates
have told you that the focus of this
election should not be the issues
but who will accomplish them. The issues
are very similar, but take a look at the three
candidates and our campaigns and see who
you believe."
While the other candidates tell you about
their experience, ask them why they did not
accomplish more of their goals as Student
Senate president or Student Body treasurer.
As a Student Senator, I have gained a firm
grasp on Student Government and how it
works, and that is why I want to be your next
Student Body president to change it.
SRight now, students do not see much of SG
or what it does. No one takes the time to ask
you what you want done or even what bands
or speakers you want to see on campus. The
Progress Party's entire platform is based on
issues students brought to us through sur-
veys, forums and round-table discussions.
I will continue this process as Student
Body president. I will not take my personal
beliefs to the administration -or the Board
of Trustees and say they are the will of the
students. I will ask students first. I will ask
you what you think about issues like block
tuition before presenting "the Student Body's
position."
But I won't stop at listening I will fight
for what you want, too. When students told
us they wanted to be able to vote online for
SG, Adam, Susan and I along with other
party members collected students' sig-
natures on an initiative. When the Supreme
Court rejected the initiative, I personally
wrote to and met with the Dean of Students
to fight that decision, and I will continue to
fight to make online voting a reality.
Graduate students
have six votes.
Why not split the
votes? Give one to
Voice and use the
other five on other
-parties.
Voice also is
setting bench-
Vle Party marks when it
comes to develop-
ing platform initia-
tives. A series of four focus groups were
held where students could voice their
opinions on how SG could better serve
them. Voice only has six major plat-
form issues as the result of more than
a hundred student-generated ideas.
Although Voice plans on supporting
many more issues, it is only realistic
to accomplish about five or six major
items in a year. Our top initiatives are:
starting a Sunday bus service; allocat-
ing funds for 24-hour study centers on
campus; increasing short-term park-
ing; opposing block tuition; creating
graduate parking spaces in commuter
lots; and conducting a budget interest
analysis to ensure student groups are
funded fairly. Voice would rather focus
on a few key points than bog people
down with a list of thirty that cannot be
met in one year.
SLastly, this new concept of multiple
parties playing a role in SG should
continue in years to come. SG can only
be as good or as diverse as the students
who actively participate by running for
office or casting votes. Please support
Voice senate candidates and the most
neutral treasurer in the race myself.
At voting hour, elect Justin Lauer.
Justin Lauer is the treasurer candi-
.date for the Voice Party.
Throughout
this campaign,
all of the parties
have promised
to bring SG to every student and allow ev-
eryone to get involved. I have never and will
never discourage any student from getting in-
volved. I want every interested student to be
able to contribute to this.university and SG.
My varied experiences have prepared
me well for this challenge. I have experience
working with the Board of Trustees, as Ihelped
interview and select Bernie Machen to be the
president of UE. I have served on the Senate's
Budget and Appropriations Committee, the
Campus Master Plan Committee, the SG
Environmental Affairs Committee and the
Housing Recycling Committee. I have pro-
vided more than 150 students with guidance
and assistance over the past two years while
serving as their resident assistant.
SWhile I may not be the most traditional
candidate, I have spent my time here work-
ing for students, which is the ultimate job of
the Student Body president.
If you feel that providing hand towels
at the gyms is the most important thing SG
can do for you, then vote for Joe Goldberg.
If you feel that the doors of SG have truly
been opened to every single student in the
past year, then vote for Dennis Ngin. But,
if you believe, like I do, that SG can be so
much more than it is, so much more than a
source of frivolous spending and elitism, if
you believe that it can truly touch the lives of
every student and provide you with more op-
portunities and resources, then vote for me,
MacKenzie Moritz, and the Progress Party.
MacKenzie Moritz is the presidential candi-
date for the Progress Party.

Fraternity. That means we have to prove our members actu-
ally vote by keeping your 'I voted sticker' to be collected and
turned into the party chair at the end of the election."
Coogan's e-mail refers to Jessica Hemandez, a Progress can-
didate for Student Senate. Hernandez forwarded the e-mail to
Progress officers, who reported it.
SG statutes indicate no candidate may give or promise posi-
tions.
Although Coogan, who refused comment, is not a Gator
representative, his message said, "Ryan will touch on all this
later." Below his e-mail was attached a previous message
from fraternity member Ryan McGee who calls himself a
representative to the Gator Party.
SG statues state that a party can be held liable for the
actions of individuals or organizations supporting it if the
complaint can show that the party wvas involved with the
individual.
McGee could not be reached for comment.
Gator president Michael Schuster said his party has had no
contact with Coogan.
"I'm confident that we can convince the Election
Commission that we can be completely exonerated," he said.
Supervisor of Elections Ali Blye said that although she
can't yet discuss the Commission's findings, she said it ap-
peared the e-mail was sent on behalf of Gator.
"Of course, it's tough going through this," Blye said.
Problematic ads, spending
The Impact Party was accused of a number of campaign
violations including neglecting to list sponsors as well as
posting unapproved advertisements.
But party treasurer David Meyrowitz said funding from
some sponsors was not received until after the deadline.
The complaint also listed an Impact advertisement on-
www.thefacebook.com that failed to name Meyrowitz. The
campaign treasurer's name is required to be listed on paid
political advertisements.
"One of our people thought they would be doing us a
favor," Meyrowitz said. "None of us had any knowledge of
that. The person wasn't familiar with the rules."
Further, the complaint accused the Impact Party of plac-
ing campaign posters in non-designated locations.
Meyrowitz said he had not heard of that complaint but
felt the "green boards" designated for election posters were
not put up in a timely fashion.
The complaints also fingered the Gator Party for ne-
glecting to itemize expenses, including T-shirts and an
Alligator advertisement.
Schuster said it was a misunderstanding and that a
more complete report will be filed today.
Sen. Hoffman was alleged to have violated his required
neutrality because he provided space for the Impact Party's
Web site.
While he is an Impact supporter, he noted he didn't
believe he needed to remain neutral, adding the hosting
service was a business arrangement.
"I never intended to do anything wrong here," he said.
"I thought I was right in doing what I did. I'm unclear on
what's going on right now."

Cocktail .Party. It's so much
fun and it's louder than Rupp
Arena."
Not Sunday. Not when the
Gators churned a Coliseum-like
blue roar into a morgue-like si-
lence.
"It feels good sending every-
body back home upset," fresh-
man guard Taurean Green said.
"[It feels good] making them
know that they made that long
trip from Kentucky for nothing
and for them to just be disap-
pointed."
Just how many Kentucky fans
were there?
The Georgia Dome had 21
lower level seating sections avail-
able for Sunday's Championship
game. Kentucky fans occupied
20; UF, one.
There were approximately 27
upper level sections. Kentucky
occupied 26, UF, one.
Then the exodus began.
With more than three min-
utes remaining in the title game,
Kentucky fans began filing away.
With one minute left in the game,
Matt Walsh began pointing to
UF's faithful. Roberson hooted
and hollered. Freshman Joakim
Noah sprinted along the side-
line.
Then the buzzer sounded,
leading to what could be called
controlled pandemonium.
Freshman Corey Brewer de-
livered his patented fist-pump.
Roberson followed with the
IICK wesr / Aigaror rtanf
Junior guard Anthony Roberson shoots a three-point shot against
Kentucky's Chuck Hayes. Roberson finished with 10 points in UF's
70-53 win.

erybody back home upset."

"It just feels so good," Noah
said after the game. "It smells
good, it tastes good. Honestly,
my food tonight my dinner is
going to taste so .good that you

Walsh was awarded with the
tournament MVP trophy. Then,
of course, came the net cutting.

court, their necks each wreathed
with a net.

Event honors
black women
Extravaganza hits
high notes, uplifts
By MARISSA R. NOEL
Alligator Contributing Writer
Music and dance intertwined with prose
and poetry at the 12th annual Black Female
Extravaganza, held Saturday night at the
Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.
The tribute to black women, with the theme
of "Fire and Ice: From Tragedy to Triumph," fea-
tured a play about two sisters dealing with their
mother's death.
"We looked at what hasn't been done before,"
said Elda Auxiliaire, one of the event directors.
The event written, produced and directed
by Auxiliaire, Kelliann McDonald and Ayana
Rhoden drew a crowd of about 1,200.
The sisters in the play leaned on each other
for support, while drawing from their memories
of their mother and black women leaders of the
past.
"The underlying message promoted black
women in a positive light," UF student Lydia
Charlemagne said. "It was very uplifting."
Auxiliaire said she considered the show a
success.
"I am very happy with the outcome and at-
tendance," she said. "We just want everyone to
know that black women do not fit the stereo-
types held by some at UF."
Women Raising Awareness in People, with
help from several fraternities and the Black
History Month Committee, sponsored the
event.
Forum aims
at education
By ELIZABETH PRANN
Alligator Writer
Iprann@alligator.org
Several Gainesville agencies will join to
present a forum aimed at educating stu-
dents and area residents about the function
of law enforcement in dealing with domes-
tic violence issues and teen dating violence
tonight.
Speakers at the Domestic Violence
Awareness Event will range from a victim of
teen dating violence, Gainesville Police Det.
Bill Ferris and a member of Peaceful Paths,
which is a local shelter for victims of domes-
tic violence, coordinator Allison Barra said.
She said the speakers will educate the
community about the role authorities play
when dealing with these issues; teach par-
ticipants how they can support victims of
domestic violence and volunteer in the com-
munity and promote awareness throughout
the Gainesville area.
Beyond offering advice, each presenter
will share personal experiences and answer
any questions from the audience, Barra
said.
The event will be held at 7 p.m. in
Computer Science and Engineering Building
Room E119 as part of Raise Your Voice
Month, a program of events aimed at social
activism and civic engagement presented by
the Office of Community Service.

Fashion show raises $175,00
By LINDSAY PETER
Alligator Contributing Writer
About $175,000 was raised for
the American Cancer Society of
Alachua County through the 15th
Annual Cure by Design fashion
show on Sunday evening.
Ranging in age from 18 months
to 80 years old, 84 models who
have all been diagnosed with can-
cer crossed the stage at the Phillips
Center for the Performing Arts.
A performance by UF a capella
group No Southern Accent opened
the show.
"The kids are the hardest," said
UF entomology professor and
model Skip Choate. "That's the
most emotional part of the perfor-
mance."
About 700 people sang along
and cheered for the models, con-
cluding the show with a standing
ovation.
Local stores, including Jos.
A. Bank Clothiers, Etc. Boutique
and LT Kids, donated the clothes
featured at the show..The Village
Jeweler in Haile Plantation do-
nated a Hearts on Fire one-carat
diamond that was raffled off dur-
ing the show.
Angeli Akey, a doctor at North
Florida Regional Medical Center,
attended to support one of her pa-
tients who modeled in the show.
"I'm just proud of this com-
munity to pull together like this,"
Akey said.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
SG online talks continue
By STEPHEN MAGRUDER
Alligator Writer
smagruder@alligator.org
A new online voting bill
may make its way to the
Student Senate this semester
but not before it's modified
to address concerns about
voter coercion.
The Senate Judiciary
Committee met Sunday to
discuss a bill, authored by
Sen. Andrew Hoffman and
Student Body Treasurer and
Impact presidential candi-
date Dennis Ngin, to 'take
Student Government elec-
tions to any computer with
an Internet connection.
The bill came following
the SG Supreme Court's
denial of a successful online
voting ballot initiative a
decision since invalidated by
Dean of Students Gene
Zdziarski. The issue, how-
ever, remains off the ballot.
Hoffman, who researched
the issue last summer, with-
drew the bill after debate
about protecting the system
from coercive campaigners.
Campaigning is prohib-.
ited within 50 feet of polling
locations, and senators ex-
pressed concern that the rule
could apply to anyone with
or near a computer.
"They're valid concerns,
and I agree that they
need to be addressed."
Andrew Hoffman
Student senator
Sen. Jason Sherry said in-
sulating voters from outside
influences and proving their
identity are two of his funda-
mental voting principles.
While the proposed on-
line voting program would
use UF's GatorLink system
to identify voters, physical
poll workers were not men-
tioned in the bill to ensure
voter security.
"You would have an
abundant ability for coer-
cion to occur," Sherry said,
referencing the tendency of
some campus organizations
to monitor if and how their
members vote.
"They're valid concerns,
and I agree that they.need to
be addressed," Hoffman said
after the meeting.
While a modified bill may
be presented to the commit-
tee at any time, the Senate
likely won't hear it until af-
ter the elections Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Departing senators will
convene for their last meet-
ing March 22, sharing the
chambers with the new
representatives. Senate bills
require two separate read-
ings and votes for bills to be
approved, and the votes may
not be split between the two
groups.
Golf raises biz funds
By CASSIDY MILLS
Alligator Contributing Writer
The Business Administration
College Council's first golf toura-
ment .fundraiser Sunday marked
another win for the Gators.
The tournament, which took
place from noon to 6 p.m., raised
about $5,000 for the council.
"The idea behind hosting a golf
tournament was to give BACC
members an opportunity to net-
work with corporate guests and
Warrington faculty in a laid-back
environment," said tournament
director Taylor Burroughs, a third-
year finance major.
The council wants students to
get involved with their college and
to promote social and professional
interaction between students and
faculty, Burroughs said.
The funds were raised primarily
through participation fees and hole
sponsorships. The council also sold
raffle tickets for prizes donated by
local businesses, ranging from a
,DVD player to a $150 gift card to
Shula's Steakhouse.
"I think it's great to support
my college not only when I gradu-
ate, but while I'm still here," said
Logan Murphy, a third-year fi-
nance major.
On Local businessmen
Campus participated as well.
"It's a great expe-
rience for students
who put on events like this be-
cause many business negotiations
take place on the golf course,"
said Mario Ariet, president of
e-Techservices, an event sponsor.
"It's a great opportunity to build
relationships and plan events."
The tournament sponsored 65
to 70 players and is the largest
council fundraising event.

With lit candles, delicately
balanced on their heads and the
backs of their hands, the dancers
moved skillfully across the stage
as audience members looked on.
The dance, known as
Pandango Sa Ilaw, was one of
more than a dozen traditional
dances performed during the
Filipino Student Association's
Barrio Fiesta at the Indian
Cultural Education Center on
Saturday.
This year, the event re-created
the Pahiyas Festival commemo-
rating the spring harvest.
About 300 association mem-
bers, family, friends and Filipino
community members dined
while watching the performanc-
es, which also included a skit,
music and a martial arts demon-
stration.
Association members, the
Gainesville-based dance group
Pagasa, the children of Pagasa
members and magician and
entertainer Vann Patacxil per-
formed.
"It's a great way to show what
FSA is all about," Barrio Fiesta
coordinator Andrea Ranada said,
noting the event was not just
social in nature. "We pride our-
selves on family," she said.
For the first time, the show's
hosts read the audience d brief
description and history of each
dance.
Ranada said she hoped this
would help the audience have

tions of the dances enhanced the
performances.
"I've been going for four

Clement breaks world record in 400-meter dash
* WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
HEADS TO THE WNIT.
UF sophomore Kerron Clement
is now the fastest man in the world
in the 400-meter dash.
Clement ran a time of 44.57 sec-
onds to break the world record in
the event Saturday, beating Michael
Johnson's time of 44.63 set in 1995.
"I can't describe how I feel,"
Said Clement, who won the NCAA
title in the event for the second year.
"When I crossed the line, I wanted
to cry.
"That was my first reaction. It
was so overwhelming breaking
Michael Johnson's record. I guess
it's mine now." --
Clement led the Gators to a sec-
ond-place finish at the 2005 NCAA
Indoor Championships, held at the
Randal Tyson Track Center at the
University of Arkansas.
Arkansas won the meet with 56
points, followed by UF with 46 and
Wisconsin with 43.
"We came here and did what we
wanted to do, and we got beat by a
better team," said men's coach Mike
Holloway. "There's no shame in
that. I'm proud of all our guys."
Clement also placed sixth in the
200m dash and joined Stefan Pastor
and Sekou Clarke and Bernard
Middleton in setting the collegiate
record in the 4x400m relay.
The women's team also finished
second, trailing Tennessee 46 to 36.
"We came here and did
what we wanted to do, and
we got beat by a better
team. There's no shame
in that. I'm proud of all our
guys."
Mike Holloway
UF men's track and field coach
Senior Candice Scott finished her
last meet as a UF athlete by resetting
the collegiate record in the weight
throw for the fourth time this sea-
son, becoming the first athlete to
win three NCAA titles in the event.
Scott won titles in 2002 and 2004.
"That's the way you want to go
out," Scott said. "I had increased
my weight lifting, so I was strong
coming into the meet. On that first
throw, I just let it all hang out."
Sophomore Tiandra Ponteen.
edged Louisiana State's Hazelann
Regis to win the individual national
championship in the 400m dash.
Ponteen joined true freshmen
Natalie Knight, Zanquandria
Joseph, and Nadine Palmer in tak-
ing fifth place in the 4x400m relay.
"I'm very pleased," women's
coach Tom Jones said. "Obviously,
you would like to win, but we have
always achieved at this meet and
This year is no different. I was just
elated for Tiandra and Candice..
Candice is probably the most phe-
nomenal athlete I have ever coached
at Florida."

Gators' offense surfaces to slaughter
By TIM CASEY
Alligator Writer
tcasey@alligator.org
The Michigan State baseball team hopes
it will be another 40 years before it plays UF
again.
The No. 6 Gators (15-4) crushed the
Spartans in all three games of the series, out-
scoring MSU 40-3 over the weekend, includ-
ing a 10-0 shutout Sunday in front of 1,493
fans who chose baseball over UF's basketball
showdown with Kentucky.
While the offense lit up the scoreboard,
UF pitchers kept MSU batters baffled. The
Spartans (5-6) had only two RBI during the
series. The Gators only allowed four walks all
weekend, compared to 23 issued by MSU.
Freshman left-hander Stephen Locke (3-0)
earned his third victory of the season Sunday,
pitching six scoreless innings.
"Our guys played hard three days in a
row," UF coach Pat McMahon said.
With one game remaining before confer-
ence play begins Friday, the Gators are play-
ing well.
UF hit six home runs, stole seven bases
and played error-free defense until the ninth
inning Sunday when shortstop Justin Tordi
misplayed a ground ball. As a team, the
Gators had a .365 batting average on 38 hits
and a .500 on-base percentage.
The Gators had back-to-back home runs
by junior Daniel Brooks and sophomore
Gavin Dickey in the third inning, each play-
er's first of the season. Tordi also hit his first
home run of the year.
S"That felt so good. It's about tin

Walsh scores MVP trophy in SEC Championship
By LOUIS ANASTASIS
Alligator Staff Writer
lanastasis@alligator.org
ATLANTA If Matt Walsh had to
give a first-place award to the school that
insults him the most, he would nominate
Kentucky. If he had to give one for sec-
ond place, he would say Kentucky. And
if he had to award third-place honors,
Kentucky would luck out as well.
"My manager went to Hooters [once]
and he said [all the Kentucky fans there]
were cheering, 'Walsh is gay,'" Walsh said.
"They take over [Atlanta] during the SEC
Tournament. Nothing they say bothers me
anymore. You've got 70-year old grand-
mas yelling, 'You suck, Walsh!'"
Sunday, Matt Walsh gave Kentucky
something, but nothing close to jeer-props.
Finishing .with 26 points, he boasted an
accolade of his own the Southeastern
Conference Tournament MVP trophy.
Earlier, the Gators were in trouble.
Kentucky had snatched UF's lead, re-
placing it with a 44-40 advantage of its
own. The possibility of losing the grasp on
the SEC Championship Trophy set in.
But Walsh extinguished the dangers.
He drilled one 3-pointer: UF 43, Kentucky
44. He nailed another: UF 46, Kentucky 44.
And, for good measure, one more: UF 51,
Kentucky 44.
You could get away with calling him a
"Cat Killer."
"Him, David and Peep are Kentucky
killers," freshman guard Corey Brewer
said. "But Matt's the big-shot guy. That's
what he does."
Last Sunday, his 8 late-game points
sealed the Kentucky win. Add a few days
of rest before the SEC Tournament and the
result? Walsh two, Kentucky zero.
"I felt good all week here," Walsh said.
"I could have even had more points. I just
got it going."
After Walsh received his crystal MVP
trophy, he trotted toward the stands to
greet a teary friend: Joe Westerfer, his
AAU coach.
When Westerfer saw that the Gators
had advanced to the Tournament's finals,
he secured a last-second plane ticket, flew
into Alabama Sunday-morning, and then
drove two hours to Atlanta.
"For my coach to come down, I just
wanted to show him that I love him and
I'm glad he was here," Walsh said.
The SEC's most hated player still leaves
some room for love.

GATORS, from page 24
clipped nets, the Gators strutted
off the Georgia Dome floor with
a shiny black trophy a token
of their 70-53 repeat win against
Kentucky for UF's first SEC
Tournament Championship in
school history.
And for anybody thinking
UF's previous win against the
Wildcats was a fluke, sophomore
forward Chris Richard has a mes-
sage.
"We ended up winning by
17," Richard said. "I don't think
that's luck. Seventeen points
- that's not a fluke. Two times in
a row? That doesn't sound like a
fluke to me."
The historic win capped a
seven-game winning streak for a
UF team whose players feel is un-
justly, but hopefully temporarily,
unheralded.
"We wanted to shock the
world," Roberson said. "We
wanted to walk off the court
against all odds, knowing that
nobody was on our side but us."
Nobody except for a slim
swath of orange-clad fans that
separated the sea of Kentucky
blue.
But for more than one half, the
Gators used suffocating defense
and a 26-14 rebounding effort to
elicit possibly the quietest 24,408-
strong crowd ever at a venue the
Wildcat faithful affectionately
dubbed "Catlanta."
As in their most recent meet-
ing, the Gators held the Wildcats
field goal-less for nearly five
minutes.

points, while aiding UF's 9-0 ad-
vantage in second-chance points
with a combined seven offensive
rebounds.
But less than 2 minutes irito
the second half, Horford took
the bench after gaining his third
foul. Morris missed two ensu-
ing foul shots but awoke the
Wildcats fans with a putback
that ignited a 15-1 run to coun-
ter a 34-27 halftime deficit.
And following a slew of UF
turnovers and a put-back by
Kentucky freshman forward Joe
Crawford with 12:32 remaining,
the Wildcats took a'42-40 lead
- their first of the game.
"When they get that mo-
mentum going. when the\ get.
that crowd going and you don't
counter quick, it easily goes
from 4 points to 15," Lee said.
"So we knew we just had to man
up and play ball."
So UF's defense dug in and
junior guard Matt Walsh let go.
Walsh connected on three
consecutive 3-point attempts,
sparking a 30-9 game-closing
UF run.
Wash scored 16 of his game-
high 26 points to secure a con-
ference title and tournament
MVP in the game's final 11:26.
"You know this one is better,"
said Walsh, who claimed UF's
victory against the Wildcats last
week was the best in his life.
"I've got the net around my
neck."

"That's just something we've
been dealing with all year," said
Kentucky coach Tubby Smith
on UF's domination of the
paint. "We're just not a physical
team."
With the Gators' recent phys-
ical dominance, junior guard
Anthony Roberson said UF has
proved its talent.
Now with an SEC title, he
knows they have the winning
attitude.
S"We have more talent than
anybody in the -country,"
Roberson said. "And now.we've

You want to shut down-
Roberson, the SEC's runner-up

UF sounds a lot like a team
from 2000 that performed de-
cently in the regular season
before exploding in March.
That team, also from UF,
found its identity late in the
season and ran with it.
But it's more than just scor-

Gators preached-respect.
It went a little like this.

Gators win first SEC Championship
By BRYAN APP

ATLANTA Something ..
didn't sit right with David Lee.
Even with a one-point win,
snapping a four-year losing
streak to his fiercest rival, the i
senior forward still felt an un-
satisfied hunger following the i.
Gators' victory against then-
No. 3 Kentucky.
So Lee had to vent before
UF's weekend trip to the ~ i
Southeastern Conference
Tournament.
"I knew a few guys on their
team made the comment that
that one didn't mean anything,
that they had already won the
SEC," Lee said. "I told my par-
ents before I came here that I'd
love to get a shot at them again
when it quote-unquote meant -
something."
Lee had his opportunity on
Sunday, as the Gators enteredN
their second consecutive SEC -__

game against Kentucky. "-i 'i "

UF earns No. 4 seed, will face Ohio
* THE GATORS WILL PLAY IN THE
SYRACUSE REGION, ARGUABLY
ONE OF THE TOUGHEST.
By ANDREW ABRAMSON
Alligator Staff Writer
aabraynson@alligator.org
ATLANTA See what a couple of victo-
ries against Kentucky and a Soitheastern
Conference Tournament championship can
do for perception.
A year ago, UF was the joke of the
NCAA. By the time the Gators tipped off
against Manhattan, the 12th-seeded Jaspers
were the favorites.
Now, the Gators are suddenly the team
to beat, and after receiving a No. 4 seed in
the Syracuse region, the Gators almost seem
slighted.
"I would have bumped them up to a
No. 3'.CBS college basketball analyst Billy

bracket, be sure to turn to page 23.

team's season isn't over yet. Find
out who the Gators will play in the
WNIT on page 21.
Packer said.
The SEC champion Gators open the
NCAA Tournament Friday against Mid-
American Conference champion Ohio
(21-10) in Nashville, Tenn. If the Gators can
defeat the Bobcats, a possible matchup with
Villanova another surprise team will
await UF on Sunday. Villanova opens up
the tournament against New Mexico.
"You look at Florida and Villanova,"
Packer said. "Those are two teams that are
real Cinderella teams. They have the per-
sonnel to get to the Final Four."
Final Four talk seems premature, es-
pecially considering that North Carolina,
Connecticut and Kansas all loom in the
Syracuse Region, arguably the toughest
bracket this year.
But it's a complete departure from
years past when UF entered the NCAA
Tournament as a highly-seeded, lowly-re-
garded team.
"We're going to be a sleeper," UF fresh-

man guard Taurean Green said. "My advice
is that teams better not sleep on us."
Even UF coach Billy Donovan admit-
ted that in early January, when the Gators
were coming off a blowout loss to Florida
State, Final Four talk would have been
ridiculous.
"After that Florida State game ... We
didn't look like a team that could get into
the NIT," Donovan said.
But Donovan doesn't want his team to
get overconfident.
"We just have to put everything that
happened today behind us," said Donovan,
regarding the Kentucky win. "It's good to
give us confidence that we know if we play
together and play good defense and re-
bound and do the things we need to do, we
can win. But we have to be able to take the
next step to get ready to play Friday.
"The big thing is getting [the team] back
emotionally and physically and getting
them ready for Friday."

Do not adjust your television

Isn't that how you felt on Sunday

"soft" and "girly" next to the Gators,
David Lee and company extended a
giant middle finger to the national
media and every other UF basher.
