MISSING STUDENT

Search still on


for UF student

By ELIZABETH PRANN
Alligator Writer
eprann@alligator.org

The whereabouts of the 24-year-bld UF exchange stu-
dent vacationing in Costa Rica for Spring Break remain a
mystery as his father and friends continue their search.
In an e-mail update sent by friend and classmate Imogen
Wells, she stated the possibility that Brendan Kieran
Dobbins drowned has almost been ruled out as of Sunday.
"At day nine, it is becoming less likely," she said.
Dobbins was reportedly last seen by a local man walk-
ing on a beach in Tamarindo at 7 a.m.
the morning of March 4. When he failed
to show up for.an agreed meeting with
his travel companions, four fellow UF
exchange students, later that morning,
they reported him missing.
The team of friends plus Dobbins'
father, Brian, who flew in from their na-
Dobbins ive Australia, took part in an aerial and
ground search with dogs over the weekend, she said.
The students' initial search reports were dismissed by
the U.S. Embassy because they were Australian citizens.
But after clarification of their status as exchange students
from the United States and verification of their visas, they
were able to register their missing friend with local police,
according to another e-mail sent by Wells last week.
Along with Dobbins' father, the consular general of the
Australian Embassy in Mexico also arrived Thursday night,
she stated.

Searchers met with the Canadian Consulate, which
handles the affairs of Australian citizens in Costa Rica on
Friday.
About 20 members of local law enforcement joined the
search Saturday but have found nothing so far.
Wells said the search has extended to the Central

IRHA event brings laughs


By AMY HANNA
Alligator Contributing Writer

Comedian Steve Hofstetter performed
for an energetic crowd of about 100
at Orange & Brew on Monday night.
Hofstetter's appearance was part of
the Inter-Residence Hall Association's
Residence Hall Week festivities.
Event director Paul Einsenlen said he
has wanted to bring Hofstetter to UF since
he first heard of him about a year and a
half ago. In addition to touring colleges
all over the country, Hofstetter writes a
weekly column of humorous observations
on CollegeHumor.com.
"I saw him as an up-and-coming col-
lege comedian," Einsenlen said.
If not from CollegeHumor.com, UF
students might recognize his name from
thefacebook.com. Hofstetter declared that
he is on a quest to make 100,000 friends on
the popular Web site. Using his alumnus
status from Columbia University, he has
already gotten more than 80,000 friends,
and more than 800 of them are at UF.
When Hofstetter asked who in the
room was on thefacebook.com, most of the
students cheered. When he asked who in
the room was both a member of the Web
site and was listed as Hofstetter's friend,
roughly one-third of the room responded.
"That makes me the king of pathetic-
ness," Hofstetter said.
Technology is a critical part of


Hofstetter's routine. Hofstetter, dubbed
"The Thinking Man's Comic" on his Web
site, joked that AOL Instant Messenger has
become a necessary part of life,
Never block a girl on AIM, he said,
because she will know. He joked that you
could walk up to a girl on the street, stab
her, and mention that you blocked her, and
she would just get up and say, "What? You
blocked me?"
"It's so great that random people
are willing to be his friend. I'm his
friend already, actually. I'm sure
he knows me well."
Mara Sloane
UF sophomore

Hofstetter said he believes things like
thefacebook.com have made college stu-
dents less social. His original quest was
to get 10,000 friends on the Web site, but
after he achieved that goal in two weeks,
he made the goal tougher.
"I get hate e-mail because people
think I'm ruining the purity of facebook,"
Hofstetter said.
Journalism sophomore Mara Sloan said
she is impressed by Hofstetter's quest.
"It's so great that random people are
willing to be his friend," Sloan said. "I'm
his friend already, actually. I'm sure he
knows me well."

Coup d' Ha!


Fist seeks total


power over SG
Editor's note: This is the fourth in a series
of three yes, three articles taking a
closer look at Student Body presidential
candidates and dictator hopefuls.
By NEIL HUGHES
Alligator Writer
nhughes@alligator.org

Whether or not the revolution will be
televised, rogue organizations fighting to
make a change want students to know it
is coming.
The Iron Fist, led by Dan Fitzpatrick,
is not a political party like Gator, Impact,
Progress or Voice and will not be on the
Student Government ballot today and
Wednesday.
Instead, it is a movement to catapult
Fitzpatrick into sole control of SG thrl.ugh
any means necessary.
"I will think.for the people, rather than
letting them have these silly delusions of
choice that these parties supposedly give
them," Fitzpatrick said.
If he seizes control of SG, Fitzpatrick
said his first priority is dissolving the
government.
"I feel-that if I reign unfettered, I
will do away with corruptions and
nepotism because the buck stops
here. It's just me. There is no
bureaucracy because I rule un-
checked."
Dan Fitzpatrick
Leader of The Iron Fist


"The Iron Fist is rallying the masses,
and we hope to seize control of Student
Government through a bloody coup," he
said. "If I'm reigning as dictator for life,
there is no need for those elections."-
In the dangerous world of universities,
UF is not a safe place, he said. Fitzpatrick

Dan Fitzpatrick (left), aiming to become dictator of UF, invites his fellow students to join him in the Iron Fist Revolution, which, ac-

has labeled FSU, University of Georgia
and UM the "Axis of Evil."
FSU especially. he said, poses a great
threat to UF.
The Iron Fist believes without evi-
dence that FSU has weapons of mass
dentiuation. and it plans to launch a pre-
emptive strike on Seminole territory.
"We just have a feeling," he said, "so
we're going to go on that feeling, because
we feel that they are a danger to us."
His followers, known as "minions,"
carry recycling bins on Turlington Plaza so
students may easily dispose of campaign
flyers from other parties.
In addition to his plans to put a UF
student on the moon and install troughs
of beer at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium,
Fitzpatrick said he feels that his solitary
rule will make the biggest impact on cam-
pus.
"I feel that if I reign unfettered, I will
do away with corruptions arid nepotism


because the buck stops here," he said. art'ss
just me. There is no bureaucracy because I
rule unchecked."
As, for the competition from other
parties' presidential candidates such
as Gator's Joe Goldberg, Progress's
MacKenzie Moritz or Impact's Dennis.
Ngin, Fitzpatrick said he feels no pres-
sure.
"I think I have better ideas than the
present candidates do," he said. "Also, I'm
smarter than them, and frankly I'm better
looking, too."
In addition to the Iron Fist, the Toga
Party also wants to see changes in SG.
Members of the party donned togas and
filled a children's wading pool with grapes
and grape juice Monday afternoon in the
center of Turlington Plaza to announce its
mock campaign.
"Since none of the other parties seem to
want to do anything interesting, we will
take the initiative with the stomping of 80


pounds of grapes in a kiddie pool," Toga
Party member Courtenay Cholovich woote
in an e-mail.
But whether they're fighting for change
through a violent uprising or just plain
goofiness, both sides agree that SG politics
need change.
And if it's up to Fitzpatrick, he'll be the
one who changes things.
"Join the revolution now, or else," he
,said

UF ADMINISTRATION

Director of Student Activities to depart after 19 years


By STEPHANIE GARRY
Alligator Staff Writer
smgarry@alligator.org

After living in Gainesville for 21 years, the woman
who advises dozens of student organizations will follow
her husband to the University of Maryland, bringing her
19-year career in UF student affairs to a close.
But initially she only intended to stay at UF for four
months.
Lohse Beeland, director of the Office of Student
Activities, aims to leave office May 1, after Spring gradu-
ation.
"We may be gone for part of the time, but we won't be
forgotten," Beeland said, adding that she and her spouse
will keep their Gainesville house in hope of retiring there.
"We'll be back visiting quite a bit. We really like this
place," she said.
Her husband, E. Stevens Beeland, is a senior fundraiser
for the UF College of Engineering and has received sever-
al job offers over the last several years, which he's turned
down because of her job, Beeland said.


"This is his turn," she said. "It's an incredible oppor-
tunity for him."
In Maryland, he will be the assistant dean for external
relations of the engineering school. The university has
promised her a job, too, though she's not sure exactly
what it will entail.
Beeland began her career at UF as an
undergraduate studying printmaking,
after an architecture professor turned
her away from his field-because she was
a woman.
"When I was a student here, women
could pretty much be in education, fine
arts and nursing," she said. "I loved my
Beeland fine arts experience."
She stumbled into student affairs when the unim ersit-i
was preparing for its celebration of 50 years of student
unions, which included a huge banquet attended by.the
governor.
-Someone in the student affairs office-quit and then-
director Bill Cross asked Beeland to take the spot for just
four months.


That was in 1986, and she's just leaving now; "
"I never left," Beeland said. "I enjoyed it so much Th
stayed in the field."
Beeland has advised Accent Student Government'-:
speakers bureau, since '1990 and also advise_ SG
Productions, the university's entertainment bureau.
-She has helped Florida Blue Key with Homecoming
activities for several years, too.
The leadership bestowed her with honorary member-
ship in 2004.
"For man\ years. Accent has been lucky to have her
helping us," Accent chairman David Buchalter said.-"It's
ironic that she helps us do all this work, keeps us out of
this hot water, and she sits in back (at Accent events), usu-
ally behind the curtain." -
Beeland said she regrets that she'll have to leave with-
out seeingthe Office of Student Activities renovated.
The office is the same size it was. in 1967, when the
Reitz Union first opened and there were only about 125
student groups.
Now there are more than 700.

Speakers talk domestic violence


NMI I



Casey Anderson / Alligator Staff
UF senior Erin McDonough shares her story as a victim of do-
mestic abuse at a forum held by Peaceful Paths and GPD.


By ELIZABETH PRANN
Alligator Writer
eprann@alligator.org

Speakers ranging from a UF student to a Gainesville
Police detective addressed domestic violence issues,
specifically focused on how college students can pre-
vent and deal with the situations Monday night.
The group of about 10 women heard the story of
UF senior Erin McDonough, a victim of domestic vio-
lence.

"They come believing they deserve the be-
havior they received at home."
Trish White
Peaceful Paths advocate


"It's a huge problem," McDonough said, whose
experience in an abusive high-school relationship car-
ried baggage so heavy, her ex-boyfriend contacted her
at college.
She said the relationship began during her fresh-
man year. About a year later, it turned mentally and
physically abusive.
The situation became so severe, McDonough had to
file a restraining order.
Gainesville Police Detective Bruce Ferris said he
has observed an increase in reported cases because he
said "the doors are open" and people are looking for
resources.
"Thirty years ago there were no arrests," Ferris
said.
Every fifteen seconds nowadays, a woman reports
He said GPD has a hotline for victims to report in-


cidents and that there are days when he sees up to five
cases. In 2004, there were 949 domestic violence cases
reported.
Trish White, an advocate for Peaceful Paths, a local
shelter, also spoke.
White said her agency is a 24-hour network offering
victims of domestic violence an opportunity for con-
fidential mentorship, shelter and education regarding
the psychotheory of violence.
"They come believing they deserve the behavior
they received at home," she said.
McDonough said her experiences in high school
were traumatic even with a strong support system
from her relatives and friends and cannot imagine
what it would be like to experience that sort of rela-
tionship in college without people close at hand.
"It was so overwhelming," she said. "I had family
and friends that tried to protect me."

Sunshine stay

Access a state problem

with record exemptions
According to the Associated Press, Florida newspapers
Sunday "urged readers to press officials for increased
access."
Sound familiar?
While we're busy battling for student access in Student
Government, news publications, media organizations and even
ordinary citizens are fighting for access to state government.
The state Legislature will consider this year a number of
exemptions to public access laws or Sunshine Laws any
of which would be dangerous to the freedom of citizens and the
media to obtain government records.
The Orlando Sentinel warned that exemptions could pass
"that would hide business conducted by research institutions
that receive state funding, conceal possible misconduct by law-
enforcement agencies and cover up information about absentee
ballots."
Just as we can't stand by and let the administration make
decisions about SG without including them or let SG's Supreme
Court hold meetings without warning, well, we can't stay quiet
while those on the state level try to re-establish control over
these records. Access to the information they contain is neces-
sary for Florida citizens to keep the government accountable
for its actions.
The SG Supreme Court believes these access laws do not ap-
ply to them. If the Legislature allows these exemptions to take
effect, the court easily will be able to argue that it is similarly ex-
empted. But after the online voting debacle, who rightfully can
insist that the court can be trusted to meet in secret? Students
must be allowed the opportunity to attend these meetings if
they are to hold any merit.
Unfortunately, the problem doesn't stop at UF or even
Florida: As poor as the situation seems here, the Sunshine State
is recognized as providing more access to public records than
most.
But that's not good enough. This doesn't change the fact that
the SG Supreme Court is holding secret meetings, the adminis-
tration is forcing decisions upon SG, and the state Legislature,
if it does not act appropriately by turning down these exemp-
tions, will continue to offer a poor role model in complying with
the spirit of the Sunshine-Laws.



Elections: vote or lose


wo more days, and it all
will be over.
Well, unless there's
a runoff.
That's right: Beginning to-
day, you the student can
exercise your unique ability to
help determine the path SG
will take in the next year and
in the future.
We've received countless
letters to the editor, guest
columns, phone calls, reader-
response answers and other
types of feedback stating
overwhelmingly that students
want to regain access to SG.
Now's your chance.
Go out to the polls today
and tomorrow and vote for


the candidate you think will
best represent you and all
of the other members of the
Student Body.
Forget our endorsements,
forget what your friends are
telling you and make the
choice you will feel good
about in the morning.
If that goes along with our
recommendation: great. If not,
we'll be happy. with the fact
that you chose to take a stand
for what you believe in.
Regardless of whom you
vote for, vote. Don't make
this another election in which
a few decide the representa-
tives and, therefore, the
future for the many.

Guest column

Bill would scare off best and brightest


he United States always has been' the most attrac-
tive country for international students. The reason,
as stated by Donald M. Bishop, minister-counselor
for press and cultural affairs at the American Embassy
in China, could be that "every year, states agree to use
tens or hundreds of millions of dollars to subsidize the
students that come from foreign nations. These billions
of dollars demonstrate a true American commitment to
diversity and international understanding:"
Well, maybe not the state of Florida.
Less than two months after Bishop's statement, the
Florida House of Representatives is on the way to pass-
ing House Bill 21, which prohibits any international stu-
dent from receiving state financial aid the first bill of
its kind in the United States. They say $5.7 million could
be saved to provide need-based scholarships to Florida
residents.
But what will we lose?
My tutor, Rongling Wu, was an international student
under state support. Now, he's conducting cancer and
human gene research, which could save the lives of thou-
sands of Americans.
My ex-roommate, Xingyu Huang, was an interna-
tional student under state support. Now, he is working
in China for Intel, helping a U.S. enterprise make money
by selling products to China.
Abdol R. Chini, professor and director of the School
of Building Construction at UF, was also an interna-
tional student under state support. Now, he's educating
American students in the expertise they need to build
better houses.
But this bill is saying people like them shouldn't be
supported to study in the United States.
Thousands of international students, coming. to
Florida with a dream, will be forced to leave before they
can complete their studies, with frustration and resent-
ment of the United States in their minds.


Fei Long Is that what the politicians in
Speaking Out Tallahassee want?
It seems the answer is "Yes." In
2003, the House passed a bill prohibiting 822 students
from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Cuba, North Korea and Sudan
from receiving financial aid in order to provide scholar-
ships to Florida residents. Now, all international students
are their targets. And who will be the next? How about
pasinl a bill prohibiting all out-of-state students from
receiving financial aid? After-all, you would save more
money for Florida residents this way.
These are totally wrong. Turning the other students
away is not the solution to the problems of higher educa-
tion in Florida. Florida's administration should seriously
think about the consequences of their crazy policies.
Land grant, research universities like UF will hurt most
among all universities. If passed, this bill will be bad
news for UF President Bernie Machen's plan to make UF
a Top 10 public research university. It'll be hard for UF
to compete with universities in other states to attract the
best students of the worla. I recently received an e-mail
from Lei Wu, a student and potential Gator from China,
who wrote, "I am.shocked about the news, and very wor-
ried about my offer which requires the confirmation of
acceptance before March 14. Actually I am ready to ac-
cept it. But now, I don't know what I should do."
Look senators, you're already achieving so much.
I ask all of my fellow Gators to speak out to support
international student- It's time for us to work together to
send out a clear message that those politicians are play-
ing a dangerous game that will lower the level of higher
education in Florida instead of enhancing it that it
will, in the long run, hurt Florida residents instead of
benefiting them. It's against the interests.of Florida and
United States, and the bad effects can't be reversed.

Students should be persistent, complain less in SG races


There seems to be a steady trickle of complaints about
Student Government, and leadership opportunities
in general, throughout the course of the school year.
This trickle grows in intensity during the weeks immediately
preceding SG elections. Students who perceive wrongs and
students who feel slighted by the system chum out columns
and send their complaints to the Alligator. I would like to place
a different perspective on the table a positive one.
I am a dual-degree law/graduate student who went to un-
dergrad at a small liberal arts school in Massachusetts called
Holy Cross. Unfortunately, I had other commitments, and lead-
ership roles were nowhere on my radar. I graduated, worked
for a couple of years, and, after recession hit, I decided to go
back to school. I began graduate school here at UF with little
knowledge of how things worked. With more free time than I
had in undergrad, I began exploring the potential of getting in-
volved with various organizations. I found out that a UF stand-


ing committee had an open seat. I sent an e-mail of inquiry,
then a follow up e-mail and then another. Seven months later,
I received an e-mail saying the position had been filled. Later,
James Stowers another committee position denied
Speaking Out my application. I began attending the
meetings, only to find that the student
member who had been appointed ahead of me never showed
up ever. I wonder if he put that position on his resume. Did
these injustices piss me off? Of course. But the point is, these
all are public meetings; I continued to attend and participate.
I wanted to be involved because I had an interest in the issues
being discussed, not simply to get some line on my resume.
As I continued to get shut out, I began to meet people at
the meetings. Was I vindictive, angry and spiteful? No. Who
would want to talk to someone like that? I persisted in my
applications and in my attendance at meetings. Some of my
interviews went well, and I now serve as a cabinet director in


SG. Elitist? I don't think so. People e-mail me all the time with
questions and concerns, and I always make a point of replying.
Greek? They didn't even have a Greek system at Holy Cross.
I am not saying that leadership positions at UF are immune
to dirty politics and over-ambitious people. What I am saying
is perseverance and a positive attitude are much better alterna-
tives to complaining. I have been denied more positions than I
have been appointed or elected to. But here's the thing: These
issues are not going to end when we graduate. At times in our
lives, we will be overlooked for promotions, have others take
credit for our work, or watch as the boss' newly graduated son
takes the position as our supervisor. I don't think the Alligator
is going to follow us all around and allow us to vent about the"
injustices we face every day.
James Stowers is cabinet director of Graduate/Professional
Student Affairs.

Letters to the Editor
Record deserves more respect in paper
Editor: I want to complain about the
placement of the article detailing Kerron
Clement's world record in the 400 over
this weekend. This stellar accomplishment
deserved much more from the Alligator
than being buried on page 21 on top of a
Domino's Pizza article. As much as I love
the Gator basketball team (I was in Atlanta
this weekend to watch them triumph), they
weren't the only ones who deserved front-
page recognition. How many times in UF
history has an athlete accomplished such
a feat by himself? Is our athletic program
so stellar that a world record gets practi-
cally no recognition by the newspaper that
purportedly reports about the ongoing of
the university?
Surely, the front page article about an-
other baseless SG election complaint could
have been moved to page three in order to
make space for one of the greatest accom-
plishments by an athlete at this university.
If not the front page, the article should
have most definitely been placed on the
back page perhaps taking the place of
yet another columnist repeating his coun-
terparts in proclaiming the greatness in
the change of this basketball team.
The readers .could have come to that
conclusion by themselves after reading
the other four articles about the basketball
team. I just ask that all sports get fair cov-
erage, and that such a tremendous athletic
accomplishment receive fair praise.

International aid loss will hurt UF's rank
Editor: Recognizing the strengths in its
student body, prestigious faculty and state
of the art facilities, UF could easily reach
the administration's goal of becoming a
Top 10 public research university by 2008.
However, if Florida SB866 is ratified, UF
will lose part of one of its prime assets:
international students.
This bill would require universities to
stop giving state-funded scholarships to
the approximately 1,657 foreign students
that the Florida Department of Education
says are studying in public universities
with that funding.
Not only are international students usu-
ally among the most qualified students in
their home countries, but they also bring
to campus the reality of globalization and
technology exchange. Both technologi-
cal and cultural exchanges are crucial for
many disciplines, including anthropology,
political science, linguistics and even engi-
neering and health professions.
Florida universities will lag behind as
prestigious universities such as University
of California at Berkeley, University of
Virginia and University of Michigan con-
tinue to attract international students,
who then become unofficial ambassadors
of the United States if they choose to re-
turn to their home countries or possibly
develop theories or inventions which
automatically are patented by their educa-
tional institution.
Another vital contribution of interna-
tional students is the challenge they pose


to stereotypes. I have friends that have
changed their views on many issues just
by interacting with students different
from themselves and realizing the power
of media sources on our perceptions of the
world.
It is indeed unfortunate that state legis-
lators do not realize the long-term benefits
a diverse campus can provide not only to
education but also to the population as a
whole.
Alas, we cannot really blame them.
After all, universities were extremely ex-
clusive when our gracious legislators were
in school.
You can ask Stephen C. O'Connell and
J. Wayne Reitz, if you know what I mean.

SG positions open to non-Greeks, others
Editor: My name is Jennifer Puckett I
am not Greek, I am not a minority, I have
no relatives in Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity
and I currently serve as your Student
Body vice president. Furthermore, I am
not alone. There are many cabinet direc-
tors and senators who are not Greek or
minority.
Candidates and Alligator articles both
rant about how hard it is to become in-
volved in SG. While the system is not per-


fect, it is changing in a positive direction,
and this administration has initiated many
of these changes.
Every time an assistant cabinet direc-
tor is selected, the director has to submit
the resumes of all candidates and reasons
for his or her choice. This helps ensure
accountability for all appointments.
Directors are only allowed to have -one
assistant director per organization. This
ensures diversity in each of our depart-
ments.
This semester, senators and cabinet
directors have constituency requirements
(in which senators attend organizational
meetings and interact with students) that
have been enforced intensively.
Jamal, Dennis-and I are dedicated stu-
dent leaders who have made tangible ef-
forts in creating an environment where SG
is accessible to any interested student. Not
a single student has walked into Jamal's
or my office this year looking for a posi-
tion whom we have not found a place for.
There are so many things to be done for
the student body.
I have two positions on my upper-level
staff and some assistant directorships that
have remained empty despite advertise-
ments. A list of open cabinet positions as
well as scheduled office hours is available
on the third floor of the Reitz Union in
Room 305. If you are willing to make the
effort to walk up to the third floor, there is
a place for you.

UF journalism professor wins prestigious award

maor reasons Chance won the award s end her time teaching others the im


By JOHN COX
Alligator Contributing Writer

A UF teacher was honored as the,jour-
nalism teacher of the year by the Scripps
Howard Foundation.
Media law professor Sandra Chance
was selected from more than 50 candidates
across the country for the prestigious
award, said Judith Clabes, president and
CEO of the Scripps Howard Foundation.
The winner was announced Friday.
"All I could say was, 'I'm stunned and
I'm thrilled,'" Chance said.
Chance will receive $10,000 and the
Charles E. Scripps award, and the College
of Journalism and Communications will


receive a $5,000 grant, Clabes said.
"Sandi is eminently deserving of this
award, which is the major national award
for the outstanding journalism teacher,"
Dean Terry Hynes said in an e-mail.
Chance, who has been at UF for 12
years, said the award was an incredible
honor.
A passion for the First Amendment and
a commitment to her students have been
the driving forces in her teaching career,
she said.
Chance is also the executive director
for UF's Brechner Center for Freedom of
Information, where she works with media
law issues.
Clabes said glowing letters of recom-


Magazine-journalism senior Dorothea
Williamson said she was dreading the
class before she went to it.
"She makes the class fun and interest-
ing, and she's really peppy,"
On Williamson said. "She tries
CampUS the best she can to make you
do well in the class."
Williamson said the class
has influenced her to go into law when she
graduates.
Hynes said Chance teaches one of the
most difficult classes at UF but is still able
to get the most out of her students.
"I use a lot of different techniques and
styles to teach my students," Chance said.
She said media law was her life's work,


to
or-


tance of the First Amendment.
"I love what I do, and I love working
with students at the university," Chance
said.
Chance will be invited to the Scripps
Howard Foundation's National Journalism
Awards Program on April 15, where she
will be honored with other national award
winners, Clabes said.
The award is given in conjunction
with the Association for Education in
Journalism and Mass Communication,
the Knight Foundation and the Freedom
Forum, Clabes said
"She really does a great job," said
Williamson. "She always wears really cute
outfits, too."

Taser use raises questions of safety, proper-training


* LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCIES DEBATE WHETHER
TO PURCHASE THEM.

By ELIZABETH PRANN
Alligator Writer
eprann@alligator.org

Attempting to address recent
concerns about the safety of Taser
weapon use, Florida lawmakers
are proposing bans relating to the
weapons' use on minors and train-
ing requirements for officers who
wield them.
University Police Department
spokesman Joe Sharkey said despite
the safety concerns raised by state
legislators and a series of alleged
Taser-related deaths, he "absolute-
ly" feels these weapons are neces-
sary in certain situations and that


Tasers can save a person's life.
The weapons, Sharkey said, give
law-enforcement officers an option
when they-are involved in a situ-
ation that normally would call for
extreme reactions using force with
a deadly weapon such as a gun. .
However, critics argue that Taser
weapons, despite claims and testing
done by the company, are dangerous
.and possibly lethal.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office,
which recently approved use of the
weapons by school resource officers,
has suspended that decision until
Feb. 22.
The Gainesville Police
Department had planned to pur-
chase Taser weapons, but a decision
on that is still pending, GPD spokes-
man Keith Kameg said.
New legislation, filed March 8


with the Florida Senate, calls for
'all Taser-wielding officers to earn a
minimum qualification and receive
specified training,
Another bill, which has been sus-
pended temporarily, prohibits, the
use of Tasers and similar devices on
a minor on school grounds.
However, Sharkey, who works
at a Taser-carrying enforcement-
agency on a school campus, said
Taser weapons are.designed to im-
mobilize a person and keep a dan-
gerous situation from escalating and
are beneficial for schools.
"Having an out-and-out ban in a
school would not be a good idea,"'
he said.
He said Taser weapons provide
an officer % ith a choice: one that
may save a student's life.
Sharkey remarked on the impor-


tance of any agency that uses Taser
weapons to follow a thorough train-
ing program.
"From a liability standpoint, they
better," Sharkey said.
UPD sends its officers to a
program conducted by. Taser
International. The officers then
come back to train other staff mem-
bers who carry the weapon, he said.
"It's very extensive training,"
Sharkey said. "All the way down to
how to carry [the weapon]."
The program explains how to
use the weapon and make proper
judgment calls as to what situations
merit use of the weapons and how.
UPD sergeants already wield
these weapons, but a limited num-
ber of them are available to lieuten-
ants and detectives within UPD's
Criminal Investigations Division.


"It's very exten-
sive training. All
the way down to
how to carry [the
weapon]."'

UF student arrested


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

A UF student was arrested late
Sunday evening on the charge of
home invasion robbery after al-
legedly shoving a pistol in a fel-
low student's face and demand-
ing more than $500.
According to an Alachua
County Sheriff's Office police
report, Delta Tau Delta Fraternity
member Douglas Alexander
Wallace Jr., of 1926 W University
Ave., entered the apartment of
UF student Jacob Allan Braun, 21,
just after midnight Wednesday
morning.
The intruder, who Braun rec-
ognized as an acquaintance he
had met through a mutual friend,
was dressed all in black.
"He did a very poor job of try-
ing to disguise himself he had
a bandanna over his face but the
bandanna kept falling down,"
Braun said. "I thought it was
some sort of joke until he. said it
was serious and pointed a gun in
my face."
Braun said Wallace, 20, took
$515 and that he believes he was
the victim of a "crime of opportu-


nity," alleging that Wallace prob-
ably needed the money to pay off
a gambling debt.
"He did a very poor job of
trying to disguise himself
- he had a bandanna over
his face but the bandanna
kept falling down. I thought
it was some sort of joke
until he said it was serious
and pointed a gun in my
face."
Jacob Allan Braun
UF student

Delta Tau Delta's UF chapter
President John Harrison said
his organization is cooperating
fully with the investigation into
Wallace, but declined to com-
ment on the status of Wallace's
membership.
Although Braun has been able
to borrow money from his.par-
ents, his missing cash has yet to
be returned.
"I'm just looking to get my
money back and for justice to be
served," he said.


Celeb event in works


* THE FUNDRAISER, LAUDED
BY LOCAL OFFICIALS, WILL
NOT BENEFIT UF PROGRAMS.

By BRIAN HAGEN
Alligator Writer
bhagen@alligator.org

NFL athletes and comedians
may be coming to Gainesville in
April to play and perform at a
star-studded charity event, but as
of now, none of its benefits will go
to UF.
Alachua County Commissioner
Rodney Long proposed bringing
the fourth annual Clinton Portis
Charity Weekend, which features
celebrity guests such as Daunte
Culpepper and Benji Brown to
benefit youth recreation and tu-
toring, scholarships and various
community service projects, to
Gainesville.
The event is put on by The
Clinton Portis Foundation Inc.,
named for the Washington
Redskins running back and
Gainesville High School graduate.
"I'd like to see a commitment
to Gainesville," Mayor Pegeen
Haranhan said, "and the money
tied to coming back to the com-


munity."
The only current allotment for
a Gainesville-area institution is the
establishment of scholarships for
SFCC, which Portis also attended.
Long, who serves as president
of the foundation, presented his re-
quest for city funding at Monday's
regular City Commission meeting.
. While commissioners sup-
ported the foundation's goals,
Hanrahan and City Commissioner
Rick Bryant resisted committing
the city to a suggested $25,000 to
,- .... fund the event,
*t'. which would
take place April-
15 and 16, cit-
ing objections
to depleting the
city's funds to
That extent.
Hanrahan The founda-
tion asked Gainesville to provide
law enforcement, portable toilet
facilities, tables and chairs, and
shuttle bus service for the celebri-
ties.
Long emphasized the potential
increase in customers for local res-
taurants, hotels and gas stations,
and urged commissioners to "look
into your hearts."

SFCC honors area women


* SIX "WOMEN OF DISTINCTION,"
INCLUDING TWO WITH UF TIES,
WILL ATTEND A LUNCHEON TODAY.

By SKYLER SMITH
Alligator Writer
ssmith@alligator.org

SFCC will tip its hat to a few distin-
guished women within the community,
two of whom have ties to UF.
The newest installment of six Women
of Distinction will be honored today
during a luncheon at the Tower Club at
The Village in the middle of Women's
History Month.
Virginia Maurer is a professor in UF's
business school and the director of the
Poe Center for Business Ethics. She was
president of the American Business Law
Association and editor-in-chief of the
American Business Law Journal.
The other UF honoree, Alison
Gerencser, works at UF's Levin College
of Law and has made mediation her
life's work.
"I really believe that given a chance,
people like to work things out," she
said.
Gerencser teaches a class in media-
tion to law students. She earned a mas-
ter's degree in education and as well as
her law degree from UF and has worked
in the Gainesville community for years.
She established a mediation program
for farmers and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture through UF's Institute of
Food and Agricultural Sciences.


Several years ago, Gerencser received
a grant of more than $60,000 to start a
mediation program -for local at-risk
children.
Through the Juvenile Restorative
Justice and Conflict Resolution pro-
grams, Gerencser has gone to local
middle schools and centers for troubled
children to teach them effective conflict
resolution techniques.
"I really believe that given a:
chance, people like to work
things out."
Alison Gerencser
Women of Disctinction honoree


Another part of her program is
restorative justice, she said, which
brings first-time juvenile offenders and
their victims face-to-face to discuss the
crime.
The sessions are conducted by the
eight law students in her mediation
class.
"It's a humbling, experience, to be
there with these incredible people,"
Gerencser said on being invited.
All 208 tickets for the event have
been sold, said Nancy Darr, who is in
charge of ticket sales through SFCC. In
the program's 19 years, 101 Women have
been honored.
The other women to be named at the
luncheon are Margaret Rosenberger..
Linda Tatum, Vickie Teal -and Ora
White.


Third murder trial begins


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

After two mistrials, round three of
a double-homicide case involving a
Gainesville man is scheduled to begin
today in the Alachua County Criminal
Courthouse.
Willie James Hudson, 30, is charged
with fatally shooting John Adkins, 28,
and Kevin Harris, 29, in July 2003.
Hudson's first trial for first-degree
murder ended in December when a
jury could not reach a verdict after
13 hours of deliberation. On Feb. 20,
another jury took seven hours before
declaring it couldn't reach a decision
either.
Throughout both trials, State
Prosecutor Geoffrey Fleck maintained
that Hudson shot and killed Harris
while trying to rob him during a drug
exchange in Hudson's car.
Adkins, Hudson's alleged friend
and the driver of the car, died after
being accidentally shot during the
struggle.
But defense attorney Stephen N.
Bernstein said Hudson was home in
Orlando with his wife when the shoot-
ings occurred, as she has testified.
.Both the prosecution and the state
cite the predominance of circumstantial


evidence in the case as a possible cause
of the juries' indecision and lengthy
debate. Perhaps key among this evi-
dence is a forest-green bath towel re-
covered from Adkins' apartment that
contained DNA from Hudson, both
of the victims, and a fourth person, an
unknown female.
The prosecution contested that
Hudson used the
towel- following the
shootings to dry off
after a shower.
Based on expert
testimony, however,
the DNA did not nec-
essarily come from
Hudson blood and could have
been deposited by the four individuals
at any time.
Spencer Mann, spokesman for
the .State Attorney's Office, said the
questionable credibility of several wit-
nesses could also be an explanation for
the hung juries.
Although he could not divulge spe-
cific details of the case, Mann said the
state has not made any drastic changes
to how it will approach the case this
time around.
"You can't change the facts and the
evidence you have, but you can refine
your methods," he said.

Honor court associate justice candidate drops out of election race


COMPLAINTS, from page 1

exchange for block Gator voting.
Although the commissioners deliberated
about the e-mail at length, noting it was ques-
tionable and possibly violated student con-
duct codes, there was no evidence presented
that linked the Gator Party to the possible
promise.
However, the party did not end the night
completely clean. Gator was found guilty of
failing to properly submit finance reports,
specifically not including a bill detailing the
purchase of an Alligator advertisement.
The punishment constituted a warning fol-
lowed by a disqualification if the party should
again be found guilty.
The Impact Party was found guilty of three
violations. The commission said Impact vio-
lated a statute that mandates campaign post-
ers may only be posted on designated green
boards.
Impact now may not post any advertise-
ments on the three green boards closest to the
Hub from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. today, since the
Hub was the scene of the violation.
Impact also was found in violation for
not declaring contributions in their finance
reports and was fined $40 by the Commission.
An additional fine of $15 was levied on
the party for failing to list the phrase "paid
political advertisement .D. Meyrowitz" on
an online advertisement on the Web site
www.thefacebook.com.
Candidate for Honor Court associate


justice, Student Sen. Andrew Hoffman, was
found guilty of not maintaining required
neutrality from student politics for hosting the
Impact Party's Web site from his server. The
Commission will recommend his disqualifica-
tion to the Supreme Court.
But regardless of what the Courf decides,
Hoffman told the commissioners he would
resign if elected, because he is running unop-
posed.
All money collected from Impact's fines
will go to the Student Body treasurer's office
to defer the cost of future elections.

Progress candidate bullied
Some Delta Sigma Pi officers and members
are intimidating their fellow officer and mem-
ber, Jessica Hernandez, with her immediate
removal because she forwarded the e-mail to
Progress Party officers, she said.
Hernandez, the fraternity's vice president
for pledge education and third-most power-
ful officer, is running to be a Student Senator
in the Business Administration seat with the
Progress.
"People think Iwas out to get everybody,"
Hernandez said, adding that she forwarded
the e-mail to her party because she "thought
it was shady."
The fraternity is having an "emergency
meeting" tonight to decide her fate, she said.
She said she wasn't sure what her fellow
members would do to her, but it involves the
house members taking steps for her to "either
resign or be forced to leave" because she for-
warded the e-mail.


Hemandez said she did not know that
there is some bylaw within the chapter that
prohibits members to forward e-mail to oth-
ers, and she added it's a bylaw that isn't
commonly known throughout the fraternity's
membership.
The e-mail's author, Michael Coogan,
along with the fraternity's self-titled represen-
tative to the Gator Party, Ryan McGee, "are the
ones that are organizing the thing for me to get
kicked out," Hernandez said.
McGee and Coogan were both present at
the Monday night trial to give testimony that
they had no connection with the Gator Party.
When the left the election commission meet-
ing, McGee said that he had nothing to do
with organizing Hernandez's removal from
the frat, and did confirm that she violated a
chapter bylaw.
Hernandez said normally the fraternity
puts its members through a "trial" when in
trouble for not paying dues, not participating,
or betraying the chapter. But in this case, she
cannot predict what her fate will be consider-
ing it is an emergency meeting.
"It's freedom of speech and they're just get-
ting me on a small technicality," she said.
Hemandez said she was willing to take
the heat and leave, but she feels bad if she is
forced to leave since she is a leader for all of the
fraternity's pledges.
"It's a real shame if it hurts them," she
said.

Testimony
Coogan and McGee answered questions


from the commission and were interrogated
by the plaintiff, Progress' Rosemarie Clouston,
and the defendant, Gator Party spokesman
Sen. Kurt Zaner.
Coogan kept all his answers regarding the
e-mail he sent brief and dry, saying he sent the
e-mail on his own behalf and was not instruct-
ed by anyone in the Gator Party, or by McGee,
that by block voting they would get positions
in SG by the Gator Party.
Hernandez was also questioned as a wit-
ness, and said she had conversations with
those involved about promised positions, but
her testimony was not considered because it
did not deal with the e-mail in.question.

The promising e-mail
The following is taken from the e-mail
in question, sent by Coogan:
"I wanted to clarify that in return
for our block voting (minus our broth-
ers slated with other parties of course,
GO JESSICA [Hernandez]!) with the
Gator Party, appointments and provi-
sions in Student government will be
made possible to Delta Sig Fraternity.
That means we have to prove our mem-
bers actually vote by keeping your 'I voted
sticker' to be collected and turned into the
party chair at the end-of the election. Ryan
[McGee] will touch on all this later."
McGee said he did not tell Coogan that
there would be promised positions, and
that he was not associated with Gator.


Friends of missing UF student face difficulties in expanding search efforts


MISSING, from page 1.

American nation's borders, rather thanjust Tamarindo.
She said she received a phone call from a journalist on be-
half of AM Costa Rica, a national paper, who claimed he had
received e-mails from concerned readers.
Additionally, Dobbins' photo was released on national


television. His father also appealed to anyone with any infor-
mation relating to his son's disappearance to come forward,
according to the e-mail.
Wells said in another e-mail on March 8 that the students
were experiencing extreme frustration with the search efforts
by local authorities.
"...If this was Australia, we would have had 200 people
on the beach search, three choppers overhead and numerous


boats... Instead it's just the four of us trying to instigate an in-
vestigation from a cell phone that hardly ever works, and we
only have eight eyes," Wells said.
Steve Orlando, UF associate director of news and public
affairs, had not heard any new information as of Monday
afternoon.
The university's Internatiorial Center has been in contact
with the students.

The term "bye week" doesn't sit
well in his vocabulary.
Early wakeup calls, a rigorous
workout schedule, classes, tutors,
brushing up on playbooks and prac-
tices are done without one excuse.
Meanwhile, every day students
struggle to make it to their morning
"The Meat We Eat" class.
Sophomore cornerback Dee
Webb is a year-round member of the
football team, but in a time that most
football athletes condition amid
spring's serene setting, he competes
as a member of the UF track team.
Webb is one of five football play-
ers who are multi-sport athletes.
Sophomore Gavin Dickey and
freshman Tate Casey play baseball
and freshman Cornelius Ingram
does hoops. Freshman wide receiver
Bernard Middleton runs track. The
trend has grown as athletes look to
maintain their physical peak while
excelling in two. sports. Still, with
the challenge comes enormous re-
sponsibility.
"It's a big adjustment in training
as far as the physical aspect, but it's
fine with me," Webb said. "It's work
and work has to be done."
In his second year on the football
field, Webb started all 12 games
and recorded three interceptions.
Playing cornerback, a position that
relies on quickness, Webb has used
track to his advantage by learning

methods that fine-tune his speed.
Webb loses most of his sweat
via speed drills. And for Webb, the
phrase "speed kills" couldn't be
more appropriate. The defensive
back finished second in the 55-meter
dash at the Gator Invitational earlier
this year, running it in 6.38 seconds.
"Coming out here, Coach [Mike]
Holloway has shown me how to run

ent, but

"Improving my speed here
will help me take it to the
football field."
Work is an understatement for
multi-sport football players. The
athletes train six hours a day to
improve strength, speed and agility,
but risk falling behind in the aca-
demic aspects of their college life.

Textbook athletes
Webb, a business major, pri-
oritizes his agenda and tries to do a
good job managing his schedule.-
"It's a challenge at any time, but
now with two sports it's an even
bigger challenge," Webb said. "But
like in football season, I have to
perform on the field and perform
in the classroom. It's not something
to be played around with, so I just
handle my business and go down


to the nitty-gritty."
For Casey, a tight end who
emerged as one of Chris Leak's
favorite red zone targets in 2004, his
first semester as a two-sport athlete
has challenged him both in the
weight room and in the classroom.
"I know right now I'm kind
of behind academically, but it's
a new experience for me playing
two sports," Casey said. "When I

was playing football last year as a

but that has prepared me better for
baseball this year."
The mental dimension of jug-
gling two sports, school and recre-
ational time can be hard to grasp.
"I wake up every day at 5
a.m. and that's accountability an
athlete has to take," Casey said.
"But as hard as the workouts are,
the coaches make sure to balance
it out. The mental challenge is the
toughest part, because in football,

Nearly 1,500 members of UF's
Greek community are expected to
show up at tonight's "Greeks for
Life" blood drive.
The event, which will take place
at 6 p.m. on Flavet Field, will serve
as the conclusion to LifeSouth's
week-long blood drive with UF
Greeks.
"We wanted one really big
event to bring everybody
out to the field at one time.
Each individual chapter
can have their own agen-
da, but LifeSouth is some-
thing everyone works with."
Heather Graver
Panhellenic Council Unity Director

"This started out as a small
event, and it's just grown every
day," Panhellenic Council Unity
Director Heather Graver said.
'The Interfraternity,
Panhellenic, Multicultural Greek,
and National Pan-Hellenic
Councils' members will watch an
outdoor screening of "Napoleon
Dynamite" and enjoy free food
while waiting to donate blood.
"We wanted .one really big
event to bring everybody out
to the field at one time," Graver
said.
"Each individual chapter
can have their own agenda, but
LifeSouth is something everyone
works with."
Although the event is open
only to the Greek community, the
executive candidates of all four
parties running in the Student
Government elections have been
invited to attend.
"We figured a lot of people.
would probably already be in-
volved with that, so inviting
them would probably increase
attendance," Graver said.
National Pan-Hellenic Council
President Travis Lester said he
hopes the event will be "a great
implementation of Greek unity."
He said the councils have talk-
ed about Greek unity in the past,..
but once everyone comes back to
school, nothing happens.
"t-Bpefully this won't be
the last event," Lester said.
"Hopefully we'll have many
more."
LifeSouth buses will be on
campus today at Century Tower,
behind the Hub and at Broward
Dining Hall for non-Greek stu-
dents, interested in donating
blood.

Sators continue climbing ladder


By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
bapp@alligator.org

Before they could clip the nets,
before they could hoist the trophy,
before they could don the vic-
)ry hats and T-shirts, even before
hey could step foot in Atlanta, the
;ators had to climb the ladder.
'he ascent began March 2.
Before UF's game against Georgia,
'oach Billy Donovan gave the Gators
lesson in step aerobics.
He imported a 9-foot ladder into
JF's locker room. Each rung repre-
.ented a team goal.
A sign taped to the first step read,
'Georgia." The next said, "Kentucky,"
hen "SEC champs," and finally
'NCAA champs."
Donovan made each player climb.
"I started getting higher on the
adder and he said, 'Now look at how
-igh you are this is where you get
:o cut the nets down from,"' senior
forwardd David Lee explained. "That
vas a goal at that point to win every
;ame and take each game like it's our
ast."
Donovan's allegory resonated with
he Gators, as they completed a seven-
;ame climb culminating in UF's first
;EC Tournament title.
And as they rose from the Georgia
)ome floor up a different ladder, the
3atori'clipped the nets in the same
fashion they had climbed all weekend
- as a team.
Sure, Tournament MVP Matt Walsh,
;EC-leading scorer Anthony Roberson
ind Lee, UF's senior captain, all
;trolled off the court with tiny pieces
)f nylon tucked in their caps.
But so did junior Adrian Moss and
reshmen Corey Brewer, Al Horford,
.aurean Green, Joakim Noah and
'ornelius Ingram.


IaidLu IralIuLt/ ,I nrICl-aui lJlI
Joakim Noah and the Gators are driving vertically up their coach's ladder. The
Gators concluded a seven-game win streak with an SEC Championship.


So did sophomores Lee Humphrey
and Chris Richard.
As did walk-ons Garrett Tyler and
Jack Berry.


Ask any of them and they'll say
they all deserved it.

Yes, that means Madness is

burnament run.
That being said, it's easy to get caught

rom Thursday through Sunday. But,
believe it or not, football is starting again.

UF faces


in-state foe
By MICHAEL MAURINO
Alligator Writer
mmaurino@alligator.org

Some would call the Gators dead. But
UF still finds itself clutching the lifesaver
tossed by the Women's National Invitational
Tournament.
Out of the NCAA Tournament field, the
Gators' season is still alive despite being on
a four game losing streak.
UF (14-14, 5-9 Southeastern
Conference) was selected
tothe Women's NIT late
Sunday. They will play at
South Florida on Thursday
at 7 p.m.
In USF, the Gators face
Lowe
a familiar foe. Since 1974,
the teams have played 37 times, with UF
the victor in all but three games. Resuming
the series in 2001 after a six-year hiatus, the
Gators have defeated the Bulls by an average
of 16 points. On Jan. 2, UF claimed a 58-50
victory over USF in Gainesville.
Senior Tamia Williams said even though
the two teams met this season,.it was too
long ago to have an accurate gauge of USF's
play. But she adds this meeting may be an-
other close defensive game.
"I know we are two different teams now,"
the guard said. "I think it may be a totally
different look on the game, but it may not."
Following that game, USF coach Jose
Fernandez thought the Bulls was the bet-
ter team, saying "We beat ourselves. They
didn't beat us."
At the time, UF coach Carolyn Peck said
the Gators won because they had the best
team, not the best individual players. On
Monday, she removed any ideas of so-called
bulletin board material being sent up and
down Interstate 75.
"I talked to their coach after that, he gave
me a call," Peck said. "And really I think that
whole episode was blown out of proportion
...That was so long ago."
UF wants to get back to playing and show
they are better than a .500 team. Junior Sarah
Lowe said UF is ready for Thursday's game.
"Ideally, we're prepared and we have all
the tools for us and we just have to execute
them when the time is there to do so," she
said. "I think as a team we'd say we're very
prepared to go forth and do that."


SThe UF men's basketball team finished
the season ranked No. 16 in the final As-
sociated Press poll. The Gators had been
unranked prior to the Southeastern Confer-
ence Tournament.

MEN'S BASKETBALL

SFCC's Greene emulates friend Walsh's success


By RYAN MOSS
Alligator Contributing Writer

Matt Walsh dribbles upcourt,
gets to the 3-point line and lofts an
alley-oop pass to Brian Greene, who
soars above the rim and slams the
ball down with authority.
Wait a minute. Walsh plays for
UF and Greene plays for Santa Fe
- how is that play possible?
Over, the past couple summers,
the two superstars have played to-
gether at UF and a friendship has
blossomed.
"I've went and watched some
of his games and he comes and gets
tickets to my games sometimes,"


Walsh said about Greene. "He is just
my boy."
Walsh said the friends have
never played one-on-one, but Walsh
joked that the athletic Greene would
probably dunk on him. Both players
give opposing coaches nightmares,
but for different reasons. Walsh .is
feared for his incredible shooting
ability, while Greene's tremendous
-athleticism allows him to dominate
nearly all aspects of the game.
"He changes the game on the
defensive end with blocked shots
and steals and plays good, solid
defense," Saints coach Chris Mowry
said. "Offensively, he is very explo-
sive."


But while Walsh is preparing for
the NCAA Tournament, Greene's
prolific career at Santa Fe is over.
The third-year
sophomore didn't
get a -hance to
showcase his tal-
-ent in the NJC. A
Championship
the Saints were
defeated in their
Greene first playoff,
game.
Next year, the friends will finally
get a chance to battle it out in a true
NCAA game Greene has signed a
letter-of-intent with Florida A&M.
"I am really excited about play-


ing against him," Greene said. "The
atmosphere is going to be great and
I know we'll be talking."
Although Greene's final season at
Santa Fe ended earlier that planned,
he leaves after an impressive year.
Greene led the Saints in scoring,
rebounds, blocks and steals.
"He just has a competitive spirit
and a will to win," Mowry said. "He
hates losing and is very unselfish.
He doesn't care who. gets the glory
as long as the team wins."
Winning was one thing Greene
and company did this year. Santa Fe
opened the season with 20 consecu-
tive wins and-was ranked as high as
No. 4 nationally. The Saints finished


the season in a three-way conference
tie, but fell to Daytona Beach in a
playoff game.
Now Greene heads to tile next
level, but he .expected to be here
long ago. Greene was a high school
star in various sports, but he would
not commit to one sport and colleges
were turned off.
FAMU coach Mike Gillespie is
very excited about the arrival of the
6'4" guard. He feels that GAene's
attitude and athleticism will be cru-
cial come next season. Additionally,
Gillespie is confident that Greene
will make an instant impact.
"He has the potential to be [the
MEAC] Player of the Year," he said.


Gators 'peaking at the right time'

HOOPS, from page 22


IANNINGS, from page 22


Ask Lee and he'll explain how each
player has become a crucial cog in the-
new Cadillac of the SEC.
He'll explain how difficult the Gators
are to beat with shutdown defenders
(Brewer), loose-ball gobblers (Horford),
and bench monsters (Richard).
And heading into UF's NCAA
Tournament first-round game against
Ohio on Friday, Lee will explain how
confident he is with a group that fought
through disappointing early-season
losses to click when it mattered.
"This team is peaking at the right
time," Lee said. "The teams in past years
in December might have beaten this


team, but it's not even close in February
and March."
That's just a sample of anew-found
confidence through chemistry the Gators
say they'll take to Nashville on Friday.
"We have more talent than anybody
in the country," said Roberson follow-
ing Sunday's Kentucky win. "And now
we've got the attitude. It's over now."
One might say the Gators were on
a mission in Atlanta. But Moss sure
wouldn't.
"When you say we were on a mission,
that means the mission is over," Moss
said. "The mission isn't over. We're-still
on a mission." ;


be different after everything Zook had to
say last spring.
Then Tennessee happened. Then
LSU happened. Then the unthinkable
- Mississippi State happened. Same
Gators team, yet nothing had changed.
Then Zook was fired and the program
finally hadJa chance to be turned around
It won't be like that this year. Meyer
is going to'make practices fun to watch.
Mlever's going to be honest .\ith report-
ers. It someone gets hurt. he'll tell uts.
Last year, Zookwouldn't let fans sit. As
if atiching the GatorIs lose to bad teams
i,.asn't pumnhnhment enough to Gators
fans, he made them stand up in swelter-


ing .heat just to watch boring practices.
Zook called it a work area because he and
his players were working. Breaking news:
fans are not working. Zook was getting
"paid out there. Fans were not.
This year, fans can sit again. That,
coupled with the fact that spring practices
might have some excitement to them,
gives fans no, excuse not to get out to at
least a practice or two. Besides, NCAA
Tournament games are at the end of the
week until the championship.
And just think. You can sit this year.
Just like you would be watching bas-
ketball.

In an e-mail update sent by friend and classmate Imogen Wells, she stated the possibility that Brendan Kieran Dobbins drowned has almost been ruled out as of Sunday. "At day nine, it is becoming less likely," she said. Dobbins was reportedly last seen by a local man walking on a beach in Tamarindo at 7 a.m. the morning of March 4. When he failed to show up for an agreed meeting with his travel companions, four fellow UF exchange students, later that morning, they reported him missing. The team of friends plus Dobbins' Dobbns father, Brian, who flew in from their native Australia, took part in an aerial and ground search with dogs over the weekend, she said. The students' initial search reports were dismissed by the U.S. Embassy because they were Australian citizens. But after clarification of their status as exchange students from the United States and verification of their visas, they were able to register their missing friend with local police, according to another e-mail sent by Wells last week. Along with Dobbins' father, the consular general of the Australian Embassy in Mexico also arrived Thursday night, she stated. Searchers met with the Canadian Consulate, which handles the affairs of Australian citizens in Costa Rica on Friday About 20 members of local law enforcement joined the search Saturday but have found nothing so far.

TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 3 ON CAMPUS IRHA event brings aughs By AMY HANNA Alligator Contributing Writer Comedian Steve Hofstetter performed for an energetic crowd of about 100 at Orange & Brew on Monday night. Hofstetter's appearance was part of the Inter-Residence Hall Association's Residence Hall Week festivities. Event director Paul Einsenlen said he has wanted to bring Hofstetter to UF since he first heard of him about a year and a half ago. In addition to touring colleges all over the country, Hofstetter writes a weekly column of humorous observations on CollegeHumor.com. "I saw him as an up-and-coming college comedian," Einsenlen said. If not from CollegeHumor.com, UF students might recognize his name from thefacebook.com. Hofstetter declared that he is on a quest to make 100,000 friends on the popular Web site. Using his alumnus status from Columbia University, he has already gotten more than 80,000 friends, and more than 800 of them are at UF. When Hofstetter asked who in the room was on thefacebook.com, most of the students cheered. When he asked who in the room was both a member of the Web site and was listed as Hofstetter's friend, roughly one-third of the room responded. "That makes me the king of patheticness," Hofstetter said. Technology is a critical part of Hofstetter's routine. Hofstetter, dubbed "The Thinking Man's Comic" on his Web site, joked that AOL Instant Messenger has become a necessary part of life, Never block a girl on AIM, he said, because she will know. He joked that you could walk up to a girl on the street, stab her, and mention that you blocked her, and she would just get up and say, "What? You blocked me?" "It's so great that random people are willing to be his friend. I'm his friend already, actually. I'm sure he knows me well." Mara Sloane UF sophomore Hofstetter said he believes things like thefacebook.com have made college students less social. His original quest was to get 10,000 friends on the Web site, but after he achieved that goal in two weeks, he made the goal tougher. "I get hate e-mail because people think I'm ruining the purity of facebook," Hofstetter said. Journalism sophomore Mara Sloan said she is impressed by Hofstetter's quest. "It's so great that random people are willing to be his friend," Sloan said. "I'm his friend already, actually. I'm sure he knows me well." The Student Government operates with your money.

4, ALLIGATOR E TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 2005 Coup d' Fist seeks total power over SG Editor's note: This is the fourth in a series of three -yes, three -articles taking a closer look at Student Body presidential candidates and dictator hopefuls. By NEIL HUGHES Alligator Writer nhughes@alligator.org .Whether or not the revolution will be televised, rogue organizations fighting to make a change want students to know it is coming. The Iron Fist, led by Dan Fitzpatrick, is not a political party like Gator, Impact, Progress or Voice and will not be on the Student Government ballot today and Wednesday. Instead, it is a movement to catapult Fitzpatrick into sole control of SG through any means necessary. "I will think for the people, rather than letting them have these silly delusions of choice that these parties supposedly give them," Fitzpatrick said. If he seizes control of SG, Fitzpatrick said his first priority is dissolving the government. "I feel'that if I reign unfettered, I will do away with corruptions and nepotism because the buck stops here. It's just me. There is no bureaucracy because I rule unchecked." Dan Fitzpatrick Leader of The Iron Fist "The Iron Fist is rallying the masses, and we hope to seize control of Student Government through a bloody coup," he said. "If I'm reigning as dictator for life, there is no need for those elections." In the dangerous world of universities, UF is not a safe place, he said. Fitzpatrick "A "/Algt"Start"uasey Anaerson / Aimgator Starr Dan Fitzpatrick (left), aiming to become dictator of UF, invites his fellow students to join him in the Iron Fist Revolution, which, according to his "minions," would put an end to all SG elections. Members of the Toga Party (right) dance on grapes in a kiddie pool on Turlington Plaza on Monday, encouraging passing students to adopt their indifferent position on Student Government. has labeled FSU, University of Georgia and UM the "Axis of Evil." FSU especially, he said, poses a great threat to UP. The Iron Fist believes -without evidence -that FSU has weapons of mass destruction, and it plans to launch a preemptive strike on Seminole territory. "We just have a feeling," he said, "so we're going to go on that feeling, because we feel that they are a danger to us." His followers, known as "minions," carry recycling bins on Turlington Plaza so students may easily dispose of campaign flyers from other parties.' In addition to his plans to put a UF student on the moon and install troughs of beer at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Fitzpatrick said he feels that his solitary rule will make the biggest impact on campus. "I feel that if I reign unfettered, I will do away with corruptions and nepotism because the buck stops here," he said. "It's just me. There is no bureaucracy because I rule unchecked." As for the competition from other parties' presidential candidates, such as Gator's Joe Goldberg, Progress's MacKenzie Moritz or Impact's Dennis Ngin, Fitzpatrick said he feels no pressure. "I think I have better ideas than the present candidates do," he said. "Also, I'm smarter than them, and frankly I'm better looking, too." .In addition to the Iron Fist, the Toga Party also wants to see changes in SG. Members of the party donned togas and filled a children's wading pool with grapes and grape juice Monday afternoon in the center of Turlington Plaza to announce its mock campaign. "Since none of the other parties seem to want to do anything interesting, we will take the initiative with the stomping of 80 pounds of grapes in a kiddie pool," Toga Party member Courtenay Cholovich wsote in an e-mail. But whether they're fighting for change through a violent uprising or just plain goofiness, both sides agree that SG politics need change. And if it's up to Fitzpatrick, he'll be the one who changes things. "Join the revolution now, or else," he said.

UF ADMINISTRATION Director of Student Activities to depart after 19 years By STEPHANIE GARRY Alligator Staff Writer smgarry@alligator.org After living in Gainesville for 21 years, the woman who advises dozens of student organizations will follow her husband to the University of Maryland, bringing her 19-year career in UF student affairs to a close. But intially she only intended to stay at UF for four months. Lohse Beeland, director of the Office of Student Activities, aims to leave office May 1, after Spring graduation. "We may be gone for part of the time, but we won't be forgotten," Beeland said, adding that she and her spouse will keep their Gainesville house in hope of retiring there. "We'll be back visiting quite a bit. We really like this place," she said. Her husband, E. Stevens Beeland, is a senior fundraiser for the UF College of Engineering and has received several job offers over the last several years, which he's turned down because of her job, Beeland said. "This is his turn," she said. "It's an incredible opportunity for him." In Maryland, he will be the assistant dean for external relations of the engineering school. The university has promised her a job, too, though she's not sure exactly what it will entail. Beeland began her career at UF as an undergraduate studying printmaking, after an architecture professor turned her away from his field-because she was a woman. "When I was a student here, women could pretty much be in education, fine arts and nursing," she said. "I loved my Beeland fine arts experience." She stumbled into student affairs when the university was preparing for its celebration of 50 years of student unions, which included a huge banquet attended by the governor. Someone in the student affairs office-quit 'and thendirector Bill Cross asked Beeland to take the spot for just four months. That was in 1986, and she's just leaving now. "I never left," Beeland said. "I enjoyed it so much I stayed in the field." Beeland has advised Accent, Student Government's. speakers bureau, since 1990 and also advises SG Productions, the university's entertainment bureau. She has helped Florida Blue Key with Homecoming activities for several years, too. The leadership bestowed her with honorary membership in 2004. "For many years, Accent has been lucky to have her helping us," Accent chairman David Buchalter said. "It's ironic that she helps us do all this work, keeps us out of this hot water, and she sits in back (at Accent events), usually behind the curtain." Beeland said she regrets that she'll have to leave without seeing the Office of Student Activities renovated. The office is the same size it was in 1967, when the Reitz Union first opened and there were only about 125 student groups. Now there are more than 700. H a!

TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 2005KN ALLIGATOR, 5 a rs talk domestic violence casey Anderson / Alligator Staff UF senior Erin McDonough shares her story as a victim of domestic abuse at a forum held by Peaceful Paths and GPD. By ELIZABETH PRANN Alligator Writer eprann@alligator.org Speakers ranging from a UF student to a Gainesville Police detective addressed domestic violence issues, specifically focused on how college students can prevent and deal with the situations Monday night. The group of about 10 women heard the story of UF senior Erin McDonough, a victim of domestic violence. "They come believing they deserve the behavior they received at home." Trish White Peaceful Paths advocate "It's a huge problem," McDonough said, whose experience in an abusive high-school relationship carried baggage so heavy, her ex-boyfriend contacted her at college. She said the relationship began during her freshman year. About a year later, it turned mentally and physically abusive. The situation became so severe, McDonough had to file a restraining order. Gainesville Police Detective Bruce Ferris said he has observed an increase in reported cases because he said "the doors are open" and people are looking for resources. "Thirty years ago there were no arrests," Ferris said. Every fifteen seconds nowadays, a woman reports He said GPD has a hotline for victims to report incidents and that there are days when he sees up to five cases. In 2004, there were 949 domestic violence cases reported. Trish White, an advocate.for Peaceful Paths, a local shelter, also spoke. White said her agency is a 24-hour network offering victims of domestic violence an opportunity for confidential mentorship, shelter and education regarding the psychotheory of violence. "They come believing they deserve the behavior they received at home," she said. McDonough said her experiences in high school were traumatic even with a strong support system from her relatives and friends and cannot imagine what it would be like to experience that sort of relationship in college without people close at hand. "It was so overwhelming," she said. "I had family andfriends that tried to protect me."

6, ALLIGATOR U TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 2005 Editorisl Sunshine stay Access a state problem with record exemptions According to the Associated Press, Florida newspapers Sunday "urged readers to press officials for increased access." Sound familiar? While we're busy battling for student access in Student Government, news publications, media organizations and even ordinary citizens are fighting for access to state government. The state Legislature will consider this year a number of exemptions to public access laws -or Sunshine Laws -any of which would be dangerous to the freedom of citizens and the media to obtain government records. The Orlando Sentinel warned that exemptions could pass "that would 1-dde business conducted by research institutions that receive state funding, conceal possible misconduct by lawenforcement agencies and cover up information about absentee ballots." Just as we can't stand by and let the administration make decisions about SG without including them or let SG's Supreme Court hold meetings without warning, well, we can't stay quiet while those on the state level try to re-establish control over these records. Access to the information they contain is necessary for Florida citizens to keep the government accountable for its actions. The SG Supreme Court believes theso access laws do not apply to them. If the Legislature allows these exemptions to take effect, the court easily will be able to argue that it is similarly exempted. But after the online voting debacle, who rightfully can insist that the court can be trusted to meet in secret? Students must be allowed the opportunity to attend these meetings if they are to hold any merit. Unfortunately, the problem doesn't stop at UF or even Florida: As poor as the situation seems here, the Sunshine State is recognized as providing more access to public records than most. But that's not good enough. This doesn't change the fact that the SG Supreme Court is holding secret meetings, the administration is forcing decisions upon SG, and the state Legislature, if it does not act appropriately by turning down these exemptions, will continue to offer a poor role model in complying with the spirit of the Sunshine Laws. Elections: vote or lose r-lwo more days, and it all will be over. I Well, unless there's a runoff. That's right: Beginning today, you -the student -can exercise your unique ability to help determine the path SG will take in the next year and in the future. We've received countless letters to the editor, guest columns, phone calls, readerresponse answers and other types of feedback stating overwhelmingly that students want to regain access to SG. Now's your chance. Go out to the polls today and tomorrow and vote for the candidate you think will best represent you and all of the other members of the Student Body. Forget our endorsements, forget what your friends are telling you and make the choice you will feel good about in the morning. If that goes along with our recommendation: great. If not, we'll be happy. with the fact that you chose to take a stand for what you believe in. Regardless of whom you vote for, vote. Don't make tids another election in which a few decide the representatives -and, therefore, the future -for the many. alligat independent florida all 9 at r Dwayne Robinson EDITOR Mite Gimignani MANAGING EDITOR Matt Sanchez OPINIONS EDITOR Lsatren Flansgtn Diana Middleton Craig Singleton EDITORIAL BOARD The Alligator encourages comments from readers.

Opi n 7 7 Guest column SSW Bill would scare off he United States always has been' the most attractive country for international students. The reason, as stated by Donald M. Bishop, minister-counselor for press and cultural affairs at the American Embassy in China, could be that "every year, states agree to use tens or hundreds of millions of dollars to subsidize the students that come from foreign nations. These billions of dollars demonstrate a true American commitment to diversity and international understanding." Well, maybe not the state of Florida. Less than two months after Bishop's statement, the Florida House of Representatives is on the way to passing House Bill 21, which prohibits any international student from receiving state financial aid -the first bill of its kind in the United States. They say $5.7 million could be saved to provide need-based scholarships to Florida residents. But what will we lose? My tutor, Rongling Wu, was an international student under state support. Now, he's conducting cancer and human gene research, which could save the lives of thousands of Americans. My ex-roommate, Xingyu Huang, was an international student under state support. Now, he is working in China for Intel, helping a U.S. enterprise make money by selling products to China. Abdol R. Chini, professor and director of the School of Building Construction at UF, was also an international student under state support. Now, he's educating American students in the expertise they need to build better houses. But this bill is saying people like them shouldn't be supported to study in the United States. Thousandsof international students, coming to Florida with a dream, will be forced to leave before they can complete their studies, with frustration and resentment of the United States in their minds. ALLIGATOR www.aIligator.org/opinions SwC DoTA Ty 5 ~g~' best and brightest Fel Long Is that what the politicians in Speaking Out Tallahassee want? It seems the answer is "Yes." In 2003, the House passed a bill prohibiting 822 students from Iran, -Iraq, Syria, Cuba, North Korea and Sudan from receiving financial aid in order to provide scholarships to Florida residents. Now, all international students are their targets. And who will be the next? How about passing a bill prohibiting all out-of-state students from receiving financial aid? After -all, you would save more money for Florida residents this way. These are totally wrong. Turning the other students away is not the solution to the problems of higher education in Florida. Florida's administration should seriously think about the consequences of their crazy policies. Land grant, research universities like UF will hurt most among all universities. If passed, this bill will be bad news for UF President Bernie Machen's plan to make UF a Top 10 public research university. It'll be hard for UF to compete with universities in other states to attract the best students of the world. I recently received an e-mail from Lei Wu, a student and potential Gator from China, who wrote, "I am shocked about the news, and very worried about my offer which requires the confirmation of acceptance before March 14. Actually I am ready to accept it. But now, I don't know what I should do." Look senators, you're already achieving so much. I ask all of my fellow Gators to speak out to support international students. It's time for us to work together to send out a clear message that those politicians are playing a dangerous game that will lower the level of higher education in Florida instead of enhancing it -that it will, in the long run,,hurt Florida residents instead of benefiting them. It's against the interests of Florida and United States, and the bad effects can't be reversed. Fei Long is a tmemrber of UF's International Student Advisory Board.

TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 7 Students should be persistent, complain less in SG races here seems to be a steady trickle of complaints about Student Government, and leadership opportunities in general, throughout the course of the school year. This trickle grows in intensity during the weeks immediately preceding SG elections. Students who perceive wrongs and students who feel slighted by the system churn out columns and send their complaints to the Alligator. I would like to place a different perspective on the table -a positive one. I am a dual-degree law/graduate student who went to undergrad at a small liberal arts school in Massachusetts called Holy Cross. Unfortunately, I had other commitments, and leadership roles were nowhere on my radar. I graduated, worked for a couple of years, and, after recession hit, I decided to go back to school. I began graduate school here at UF with little knowledge of how things worked. With more free time than I had in imdergrad, I began exploring the potential of getting involved with various organizations. I found out that a UF standReunion at University Avenue Thede but novel by, former $G Senator Kenneth Kerns; Now available af Arnazon corn: ing committee had an open seat. I sent an e-mail of inquiry, then a follow up e-mail and then another. Seven months later, I received an e-mail saying the position had been filled. Later, James Stowers another committee position denied Speaking Out my application. I began attending the meetings, only to find that the student member who had been appointed ahead of me never showed up -ever. I wonder if he put that position on his resume. Did these injustices piss me off? Of course. But the point is, these all are public meetings; I continued to attend and participate. I wanted to be involved because I had an interest in the issties being discussed, not simply to get some line on my resume. As I continued to get shut out, I began to meet people at the meetings. Was I vindictive, angry and spiteful? No. Who would want to talk to someone like that? I persisted in my applications and in my attendance at meetings. Some of my interviews went well, and I now serve as a cabinet director in SG. Elitist? I don't think so. People e-mail me all the time with questions and concerns, and I always make a point of replying. Greek? They didn't even have a Greek system at Holy Cross. I am not saying that leadership positions at UF are immune to dirty politics and over-ambitious people. What I am saying is perseverance and a positive attitude are much better alternatives to complaining. I have been denied more positions than I have been appointed or elected to. But here's the thing: These issues are not going to end when we graduate. At times in our lives, we will be overlooked for promotions, have others take credit for our work, or watch as the boss' newly graduated son takes the position as our supervisor. I don't think the Alligator is going to follow us all around and allow us to vent about the injustices we face every day. Jattes Stowters is cabinet director of Graduate/Professional Student Affairs.

8, ALLIGATOR ETUESDAY, MARCH 15, 2005 Letters to the Editor Record deserves more respect in paper Editor: I want to complain about the placement of the article detailing Kerron Clement's world record in the 400 over this weekend. This stellar accomplishment deserved much more from the Alligator than being buried on page 21 on top of a Domino's Pizza article. As much as I love the Gator basketball team (I was in Atlanta this weekend to watch them triumph), they weren't the only ones who deserved frontpage recognition. How many times in UF history has an athlete accomplished such a feat by himself? Is our athletic program so stellar that a world record gets practically no recognition by the newspaper that purportedly reports about the ongoings of the university? Surely, the front page article about another baseless SG election complaint could have been moved to page three in order to make space for one of the greatest accomplishments by an athlete at this university. If not the front page, the article should have most definitely been placed on the back page -perhaps taking the place of yet another columnist repeating his counterparts in proclaiming the greatness in the change of this basketball team. The readers could have come to that conclusion by themselves after reading the other four articles about the basketball team. I just ask that all sports get fair coverage, and that such a tremendous athletic accomplishment receive fair praise. Matt Dean 1LS International aid loss will hurt UF's rank Editor: Recognizing the strengths in its student body, prestigious faculty and state of the art facilities, UF could easily reach the administration's goal of becoming a Top 10 public research university by 2008. However, if Florida SB866 is ratified, UF will lose part of one of its prime assets: international students. This bill would require universities to stop giving state-funded scholarships to the approximately 1,657 foreign students that the Florida Department of Education says are studying in public universities with that funding. Not only are international students usually among the most qualified students in their home countries, but they also bring to campus the reality of globalization and technology exchange. Both technological and cultural exchanges are crucial for many disciplines, including anthropology, political science, linguistics and even engineering and health professions. Florida universities will lag behind as prestigious universities such as University of California at Berkeley, University of Virginia and University of Michigan continue to attract international students, who then become unofficial ambassadors of the United States if they choose to return to their home countries or possibly develop theories or inventions which automatically are patented by their educational institution. Another vital contribution of international students is the challenge they pose to stereotypes. I have friends that have changed their views on many issues just by interacting with students different from themselves and realizing the power of media sources on our perceptions of the world. It is indeed unfortunate that state legislators do not realize the long-term benefits a diverse campus can provide not only to education but also to the population as a whole. Alas, we cannot really blame them. After all, universities were extremely exclusive when our gracious legislators were in school. You can ask Stephen C. O'Connell and J. Wayne Reitz, if you know what I mean. Luis Suarez-lsaza President, Volunteers for International Student Affairs SG positions open to non-Greeks, others Editor: My name is Jennifer Puckett -I am not Greek, I am not a minority, I have no relatives in Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity and I currently serve as your Student Body vice president. Furthermore, I am not alone. There are many cabinet directors and senators who are not Greek or minority. Candidates and Alligator articles both rant about how hard it is to become involved in SG. While the system is not perfect, it is changing in a positive direction, and this administration has initiated many of these changes. Every time an assistant cabinet director is selected, the director has to submit the resumes of all candidates and reasons for his or her choice. This helps ensure accountability for all appointments. Directors are only allowed to have one assistant director per organization. This ensures diversity in each of our departments. This semester, senators and cabinet directors have constituency requirements (in which senators attend organizational meetings and interact with students) that have been enforced intensively. Jamal, Dennis and I are dedicated student leaders who have made tangible efforts in creating an environment where SG is accessible to any interested student. Not a single student has walked into Jamal's or my office this year looking for a position whom we have not found a place for. There are so many things to be done for the student body. I have two positions on my upper-level staff and some assistant directorships that have remained empty despite advertisements. A list of open cabinet positions as well as scheduled office hours is available on the third floor of the Reitz Union in Room 305.

TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 9 UF journalism professor wins prestigious award Media law expert found tops in nation mendation from students were some of the and she thought of no better way than Aor reasons Chance won the award s end her time teachim others the im -By JOHN COX Alligator Contributing Writer A UF teacher was honored as thejournalism teacher of the year by the Scripps Howard Foundation. Media law professor Sandra Chance was selected from more than 50 candidates across the country for the prestigious award, said Judith Clabes, president and CEO of the Scripps Howard Foundation. The winner was announced Friday. "All I could say was, 'I'm stunned and I'm thrilled,"' Chance said. Chance will receive $10,000 and the Charles E. Scripps award, and the College of Journalism and Communications will receive a $5,000 grant, Clabes said. "Sandi is eminently deserving of this award, which is the major national award for the outstanding journalism teacher," Dean Terry Hynes said in an e-mail. Chance, who has been at UF for 12 years, said the award was an incredible honor. A passion for the First Amendment and a commitment to her students have been the driving forces in her teaching career, she said. Chance is also the executive director for UF's Brechner Center for Freedom of Information, where she works with media law issues. Clabes said glowing letters of recomMagazine-journalism senior Dorothea Williamson said she was dreading the class before she went to it. "She makes the class fun and interesting, and she's really peppy," On Williamson said. "She tries Campus the best she can to make you do well in the class." Williamson said the class has influenced her to go into law when she graduates. Hynes said Chance teaches one of the most difficult classes at UF but is still able to get the most out of her students. "I use a lot of different techniques and styles to teach my students," Chance said. She said media law was her life's work, to ortance of the First Amendment. "I love what I do, and I love working with students at the university," Chance said. Chance will be invited to the Scripps Howard Foundation's National Journalism Awards Program on April 15, where she will be honored with other national award winners, Clabes said. The award is given in conjunction with the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, the Knight Foundation and the Freedom Forum, Clabes said "She really does a great job," said Williamson. "She always wears really cute outfits, too." I?

By ELIZABETH PRANN Alligator Writer eprann@alligatar.org Attempting to address recent concerns about the safety of Taser weapon use, Florida lawmakers are proposing bans relating to the weapons' use on minors and training requirements for officers who wield them. University Police Department spokesman Joe Sharkey said despite the safety concerns raised by state legislators and a series of alleged Taser-related deaths, he "absolutely" feels these weapons are necessary in certain situations and that Tasers can save a person's life. The weapons, Sharkey said, give law-enforcement officers an option when they are involved in a situation that normally would call for extreme reactions -using force with a deadly weapon such as a gun. However, critics argue that Taser weapons, despite claims and testing done by the company, are dangerous and possibly lethal. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, which recently-approved use of the weapons by school resource officers, has. suspended that decision until Feb. 22. The Gainesville Police Department had planned to purchase Taser weapons, but a decision on that is still pending, GPD spokesman Keith Kameg said. New legislation, filed March 8 with the Florida Senate, calls for all Taser-wielding officers to earn a minimum qualification and receive specified training. Another bill, which has been suspended temporarily, prohibits the use of Tasers and similar devices on a minor on school grounds. However, Sharkey, who works at a Taser-carrying enforcement agency on a school campus, said Taser weapons are designed to immobilize a person and keep a dangerous situation from escalating and are beneficial for schools. "Having an out-and-out ban in a school would not be a good idea," he said. He said Taser weapons provide an officer with a choice: one that may save a student's life. I Sharkey remarked on the importance of any agency that uses Taser weapons to follow a thorough training program. "From a liability standpoint, they better," Sharkey said. UPD sends its officers to a program conducted by Taser International. The officers then come back to train other staff members who carry the weapon, he said. "It's very extensive training," Sharkey said. "All the way down to how to carry [the weapon]." The program explains how to use the weapon and make proper judgment calls as to what situations merit use of the weapons and how. UPD sergeants already wield these weapons, but a limited number of them are available to lieutenants and detectives within UPD's Criminal Investigations Division. Availab "It's very extensive training. All the way down to how to carry [the weapon]. "' Joe Sharkey University Police Department spokesman

10, ALLIGATORSTUESDAY, MARCH15, 2005 PUBLIC SAFETY UF student arrested By MEGAN V. WINSLOW Alligator Writer mwinslow@alligator.org A UF student was arrested late Sunday evening on the charge of home invasion robbery after allegedly shoving a pistol in a fellow student's face and demanding more than $500. According to an Alachua County Sheriff's Office police report, Delta Tau Delta Fraternity member Douglas Alexander Wallace Jr., of 1926 W University Ave., entered the apartment of UF student Jacob Allan Braun, 21, just after midnight Wednesday morning. .The intruder, who Braun recognized as an acquaintance he had met through a mutual friend, was dressed all in black. "He did a very poor job of trying to disguise himself -he had a bandanna over his face but the bandanna kept falling down," Braun said. "I thought it was some sort of joke until he. said it was serious and pointed a gun in my face." Braun said Wallace, 20, took $515 and that he believes he was the victim of a "crime of opportunity," alleging that Wallace probably needed the money to pay off a gambling debt. "He did a very poor job of trying to disguise himself -he had a bandanna over his face but the bandanna kept falling down. I thought it was some sort of joke until he said it was serious and pointed a gun in my face." Jacob Allan Braun F student Delta Tau Delta's UF chapter President John Harrison said his organization is cooperating fully with the investigation into Wallace, but declined to comment on the status of Wallace's membership. Although Braun has been able to borrow money from his parents, his missing cash has yet to be returned. "I'm just looking to get my money back and for justice to be served," he said.* Celeb event in works N THE FUNDRAISER, LAUDED BY LOCAL OFFICIALS, WILL NOT BENEFIT UF PROGRAMS. By BRIAN HAQEN Alligator Writer bhagen@alligator.org NFL athletes and comedians may be coming to Gainesville in April to play and perform at a star-studded charity event, but as of now, none of its benefits will go to UF., Alachua County Commissioner Rodney Long proposed bringing the fourth annual Clinton Portis Charity Weekend, which features celebrity guests such as Daunte Culpepper and Benji Brown to benefit youth recreation and tutoring, scholarships and various community service projects, to Gainesville. The event is put on by The Clinton Portis Foundation Inc., named for the Washington Redskins running back and Gainesville High School graduate. "I'd like to see a commitment to Gainesville," Mayor Pegeen Haranhan said, "and the money tied to coming back to the community." The only current allotment for a Gainesville-area institution is the establishment of scholarships for SFCC, which Portis also attended. Long, who serves as president of the foundation, presented his request for city funding at Monday's regular City Commission meeting. While commissioners supported the foundation's goals, Hanrahan and City Commissioner Rick Bryant resisted committing the city to a suggested $25,000 to fund the event, which would take place April 15 and 16, citing objections to depleting the city's funds to that extent. Hanrahan The foundation asked Gainesville to provide law enforcement, portable toilet facilities, tables and chairs, and shuttle bus service for the celebrities. Long emphasized the potential increase in customers for local restaurants, hotels and gas stations, and urged commissioners to "look into your hearts." actor 11i oodbye 0 Send a heartfelt Congratulations! to that special someone who has worked so hard to earn their degree.and Good Luck on their journey into their new life. 0 Wish your friends Thank you & fond farewell.they've been a big part of your life and it's hard to part company. & Thank the helpful professor, dean, or advisor that took the time to make your life so much easier.

TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 11 9 9% '*~* I I 9 Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" SFCC honors area women N SIX "WOMEN OF DISTINCTION," INCLUDING TWO WITH UF TIES, WILL ATTEND A LUNCHEON TODAY. By SKYLER SMITH Alligator Writer ssmith@alligator.org SFCC will tip its hat to a few distinguished women within the community, two of whom have ties to UF. The newest installment of six Women of Distinction will be honored today during a luncheon at the Tower Club at The Village in the middle of Women's History Month. Virginia Maurer is a professor in UF's business school and the director of the Poe Center for Business Ethics. She was president of the American Business Law Association and editor-in-chief of the American Business Law Journal. The other UF honoree, Alison Gerencser, works at UF's Levin College of Law and has made mediation her life's work. "I really believe that given a chance, people like to work things out," she said. Gerencser teaches a class in mediation to law students. She earned a master's degree in education and as well as her law degree from UF and has worked in the Gainesville community for years. She established a mediation program for farmers and the U.S. Department of Agriculture through UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. Several years ago, Gerencser received a grant of more than $60,000 to start a mediation program -for local at-risk children. Through the Juvenile Restorative Justice and Conflict Resolution programs, Gerencser has gone to local middle schools and centers for troubled children to teach them effective conflict resolution techniques. "I really believe that given a chance, people like to work things out." Alison Gerencser Women of Disctinction honoree Another part of her program is restorative justice, she said, which brings first-time juvenile offenders and their victims face-to-face to discuss the crime. The sessions are conducted by the eight law students in her mediation class. "It's a humbling. experience, to be there with these incredible people," Gerencser said on being invited. All 208 tickets for the event have been sold, said Nancy Darr, who is in charge of ticket sales through SFCC. In the program's 19 years, 101 women have been honored. The other women to be named at the luncheon are Margaret Rosenberger, Linda Tatum, Vickie Teal and Ora White. Third murder trial begins By MEGAN V. WINSLOW, Alligator Writer mwinslow@asigator.org After two mistrials, round three of a double-homicide case involving a Gainesville man is scheduled to begin today in the Alachua County Criminal Courthouse. Willie James Hudson, 30, is charged with fatally shooting John Adkins, 28, and Kevin Harris, 29, in July 2003. Hudson's first trial for first-degree murder ended in December when a jury could not reach a verdict after 13 hours of deliberation. 'On Feb. 20, another jury took seven hours before declaring it couldn't reach a decision either. Throughout both trials, State Prosecutor Geoffrey Fleck maintained that Hudson shot and killed Harris while trying to rob him during a drug exchange in Hudson's car. Adkins, Hudson's alleged friend and the driver of the car, died after being accidentally shot during the struggle. But defense attorney Stephen N. Bernstein said Hudson was home in Orlando with his wife when the shootings occurred, as she has testified. Both the prosecution and the state cite the predominance of circumstantial evidence in the case as a possible cause of the juries' indecision and lengthy debate. Perhaps key among this evidence is a forest-green bath towel recovered from Adkins' apartment that contained DNA from Hudson, both of the victims, and a fourth person, an unknown female. The prosecution contested that Hudson used the towel following the shootings to dry off after a shower. Based on expert testimony, however, the DNA did not necessarily come from Hudson blood and could have been deposited by the-four individuals at any time. Spencer Mann, spokesman for the State Attorney's Office, said the questionable credibility of several witnesses could also be an explanation for the hung juries. Although he could not divulge specific details of the case, Mann said the state has not made any drastic changes to how it will approach the case this time around. "You can't change the facts and the evidence you have, but you can refine your methods," he said. ..I V% I .I on 0 -1, % 1 0 0

12, ALLIGATOR U TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 2005 Honor court associate justice candidate drops out of election race COMPLAINTS, from page 1 exchange for block Gator voting. Although the commissioners deliberated about the e-mail at length, noting it was questionable and possibly violated student conduct codes, there was no evidence presented that linked the Gator Party to the possible promise. However, the party did not end the night completely clean. Gator was found guilty of failing to properly submit finance reports, specifically not including a bill detailing the purchase of an Alligator advertisement. The punishment constituted a warning followed by a disqualification if the party should again be found guilty. The Impact Party was found guilty of three violations. The commission said Impact violated a statute that mandates campaign posters may only be posted on designated green boards. Impact now may not post any advertisements on the three green boards closest to the Hub from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. today, since the Hub was the scene of the violation. Impact also was found in violation for not declaring contributions in their finance reports and was fined $40 by the Commission. An additional fine of $15 was levied on the party for failing to list the phrase "paid political advertisement D. Meyrowitz" on an oniine advertisement on the Web site www.thefacebook.com. Candidate for Honor Court associate justice, Student Sen. Andrew Hoffman, was found guilty of not maintaining required neutrality from student politics for hosting the Impact Party's Web site from his server. The Commission will recommend his disqualification to the Supreme Court. But regardless of what the Court decides, Hoffman told the commissioners he would resign if elected, because he is running unopposed. All money collected from Impact's fines will go to the Student Body treasurer's office to defer the cost of future elections. Progress candidate bullied Some Delta Sigma Pi officers and members are intimidating their fellow officer and member, Jessica Hemandez, with her immediate removal because she forwarded the e-mail to Progress Party officers, she said. Hernandez, the fraternity's vice president for pledge education and third-most powerful officer, is runmng to be a Student Senator in the Business Administration seat with the Progress. "People think I was out to get everybody," Hernandez said, adding that she forwarded the e-mail to her party because she "thought it was shady." The fraternity is having an "emergency meeting" tonight to decide her fate, she said. She said she wasn't sure what her fellow members would do to her, but it involves the house members taking steps for her to "either resign or be forced to leave" because she forwarded the e-mail. Hernandez said she did not know that there is some bylaw within the chapter that prohibits members to forward e-mail to others, and she added it's a bylaw that isn't commonly known throughout the fraternity's membership. The e-mail's author, Michael Coogan, along with the fraternity's self-titled representative to the Gator Party, Ryan McGee, "are the ones that are organizing the thing for me to get kicked out," Hernandez said. McGee and Coogan were both present at the Monday night trial to give testimon' that they had no connection with the Gator Party. When the left the election commission meeting, McGee said that he had nothing to do with organizing Hemandez's removal from the frat, and did confirm that she violated a chapter bylaw. Hernandez said normally the fraternity puts its members through a "trial" when in trouble for not paying dues, not participating, or betraying the chapter. But in this case, she cannot predict what her fate will be considering it is an emergency meeting. "It's freedom of speech and they're just getting me on a small technicality," she said. Hernandez said she was willing to take the heat and leave, but she feels bad if she is forced to leave since she is a leader for all of the fraternity's pledges. "It's a real shame if it hurts them," she said. Testimony Coogan and McGee answered questions from the commission and were interrogated by the plaintiff, Progress' Rosemarie Clouston, and the defendant, Gator Party spokesman Sen. Kurt Zaner. Coogan kept all his answers regarding the e-mail he sent brief and dry, saying he sent the e-mail on his own behalf and was not instructed by anyone in the Gator Party, or by McGee, that by block voting they would get positions in SG by the Gator Party. Hernandez was also questioned as a witness, and said she had conversations with those involved about promised positions, but her testimony was not considered because it did not deal with the e-mail in question. The promising e-mail The following is taken from the e-mail in question, sent by Coogan: "I wanted to clarify that in return for our block voting (minus our brothers slated with other parties of course, GO JESSICA [Hernandez]!) with the Gator Party, appointments and provisions in Student goverment will be made possible to Delta Sig Fraternity. That means we have to prove our menbers actually vote by keeping your 'I voted sticker' to be collected and turned into the party chair at the end of the election. Ryan [McGee] will touch on all this later." McGee said he did not tell Coogan that there would be promised positions, and that he was not associated with Gator.

TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 13 -quP-p q 1 0.1' Five UF athletes compete in two sports By ERIC ESTEBAN Alligator Writer eesteban@alligator.org The term "bye week" doesn't sit well in his vocabulary. Early wakeup calls, a rigorous workout schedule, classes, tutors, brushing up on playbooks and practices are done without one excuse. Meanwhile, every day students struggle to make it to their morning "The Meat We Eat" class. Sophomore cornerback Dee Webb is a year-round member of the football team, but in a time that most football atidetes condition amid spring's serene setting, he competes as a member of the UP track team. Webb is one of five football players who are multi-sport athletes. Sophomore Gavin Dickey and freshman Tate Casey play baseball and freshman Cornelius Ingram does hoops. Freshman wide receiver Bernard Middleton runs track. The trend has grown as athletes look to maintain their physical peak while excelling in two sports. Still, with the challenge comes enormous responsibility. "It's a big adjustment in training as far as the physical aspect, but it's fine with me," Webb said. "It's work and work has to be done." In his second year on the football field, Webb started all 12 games and recorded three interceptions Playing cornerback, a position that relies on quickness, Webb has used track to his advantage by learning methods that fine-tune his speed. to the nitty-gritty." Webb loses most of his sweat For Casey, a tight end w via speed drills. And for Webb, the emerged as one of Chris Lea phrase "speed kills" couldn't be favorite red zone targets in 2004,1 more appropriate. The defensive first semester as a two-sport athl back finished second in the 55-meter has challenged him both in dash at the G'ator Invitational earlier weight room and in the classroom this year, running it in 6.38 seconds. "I know right now I'm ki "Coming out here, Coach [Mike] of behind academically, but i Holloway has shown me how to run a new experience for me play -and not just using my natural taltwo sports," Casey said. "Whe ent, but u s i n g Last year, it was a bit of a shock at first the techI 'i Thgrg but it's niques t h a t It's all about learning to manage time properly m ak e me use less energy," Webb said. "Improving my speed here will help me take it to the football field." Work is an understatement for multi-sport football players. The athletes train six hours a day to improve strength, speed and agility, but risk falling behind in the academic aspects of their college life. Textbook athletes Webb, a business major, prioritizes his agenda and tries to do a good job managing his schedule. "It's a challenge at any time, but now with two sports it's an even bigger challenge," Webb said. "But like in football season, I have to perform on the field and perform in the classroom. It's not something to be played around with, so I just handle my business and go down ho k's his ete he m. id t's ng I I Veteran's experience Physically, this spring's football training is a grueling one highlighted by the addition of Coach Urban Meyer's mat drills. Though Meyer has locked the doors until the drills were completed correctly in the past, Casey acknowledges that they get the job done. "It's serious and intense and it's one of the things that is going to make us stronger as a team," Casey said. "It's worked for Coach Meyer in the past and it's working now, and if a lot easier ri$ht now. d r Ils d o n t , make a WIM .t~c ER i U rU,1.,tuman out of you -Gavin Dickey, UF backup quarterback and outfielder I don't k n o w h was playing football last year as a freshman, it was hectic at times but that has prepared me better for baseball this year." The mental dimension of juggling two sports, school and recreational time can be hard to grasp. "I wake up every day at 5 a.m. and that's accountability an athlete has to take," Casey said. "But as hard as the workouts are, the coaches make sure to balance it out. The mental challenge is the toughest part, because in football, we are getting in shape and putting on weight just like every other football player in the country. But then in baseball I work on even more strength and agility." w a L will." Casey has been nudged along by Gavin Dickey, a backup quarterback and outfielder on the baseball team who is no stranger to splitting his talents. Dickey missed much of last spring's football practice because of baseball obligations. Still, en offdays, he would file away his aluminum bat and brandish shoulder pads instead. "Last year, it was a bit of a shock at first doing the two-sport thing, but it's a lot easier right now," Dickey said. "It's all about learning to manage time properly and staymg on top of training." Decision time Despite only playing 107 hoops minutes as a freshman, Ingram is no stranger to the multi-sport life. He averaged nearly 25 pots and 13 rebounds at nearby Hawthorne High while competing in three other sports. Hopes of replicating that agenda could end early in Ingram's collegiate career. "I went through it-in high school and it was a whole lot easier doing it then than it is now, especially with Coach Meyer coming in," Ingram said. "He made the statement to me that the quarterback position requires a lot of time and I had to be there, so I have to make a decision soon." It's Ingram's preference to continue competing in both sports. However, Meyer's workload for quarterbacks becomes mentally draining, especially with all the preparation involved, he said. "Right now I know the football guys are watching film, conditioning and heavy lifting, but I've been with basketball so I feel like I'm left behind a little bit already," Ingram said. "I've been talking about it a lot with my family, but I know if I pick basketball, it will honestly really hurt my standing in football." Spring football begins Wednesday, and eyes will focus on five athletes returning to their primary sport. With yet another task for their collective planner, it'll be just one more challenge to overcome in the lives of these two-sport UF stars. h or Savings should be 17s. Meirose Agrees.

The event, which will take place at 6 p.m. on Flavet Field, will serve as the conclusion to LifeSouth's week-long blood drive with UF Greeks. "We wanted one really big event to bring everybody out to the field at one time. Each individual chapter can have their own agenda, but LifeSouth is something everyone works with." Heather Graver Panhellenic Council Unity Director "This started out as a small event, and it's just grown every day," Panhellenic Council Unity Director Heather Graver said. The Interfraternity, Panhellenic, Multicultural Greek, and National Pan-Hellenic Councils' members will watch an outdoor screening of "Napoleon Dynamite" and enjoy free food while waiting to donate blood. "We wanted one really big event to bring everybody out to the field at one time," Graver said. "Each individual chapter can have their own agenda, but LifeSouth is something everyone works with." Although the event is open only to the Greek community, the executive candidates of all four parties running in the Student Government elections have been invited to attend. "We figured a lot of people. would probably already be involved with that, so inviting them would probably increase attendance," Graver said. National Pan-Hellenic Council President Travis Lester said he hopes the event will be "a great implementation of Greek unity." He said the councils have talked about Greek unity in the past,, but once everyone comes back to school, nothing happens. "Ba)pefully this won't be the last event," Lester said. "Hopefully we'll have many more. LifeSouth buses will be on campus today at Century Tower, behind the Hub and at Broward Dining Hall for non-Greek students, interested in donating blood.

Sports TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 2005 3ators continue climbing ladder By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org Before they could clip the nets, efore they could hoist the trophy, efore they could don the vic>ry hats and T-shirts, even before riey could step foot in Atlanta, the ators had to climb the ladder. 'he ascent began March 2. Before UF's game against Georgia, oach Billy Donovan gave the Gators lesson in step aerobics. He imported a 9-foot ladder into JF's locker room. Each rung repreented a team goal. A sign taped to the first step read, Georgia." The next said, "Kentucky," hen "SEC champs," and finally 'NCAA champs." Donovan made each player climb. "I started getting higher on the adder and he said, 'Now look at how iigh you are -this is where you get :o cut the nets down from,"' senior orward David Lee explained. "That /vas a goal at that point -to win every ;ame and take each game like it's our ast." Donovan's allegory resonated with he Gators, as they completed a seven;ame climb culminating in UF's first EC Tournament title. And as they rose from the Georgia Dome floor up a different ladder, the lator;clipped the nets in the same ashion they had climbed all weekend -as a team. Sure, Tournament MVP Matt Walsh, ;EC-leading scorer Anthony Roberson ind Lee, UF's senior captain, all .trolled off the court with tiny pieces >f nylon tucked in their caps. But so did junior Adrian Moss and reshmen Corey Brewer, Al Horford, aurean Green, Joakim Noah and ornelius Ingram. Joakim Noah and the Gators are driving vertically up their coach's ladder. The Gators concluded a seven-game win streak with an SEC Championship. So did sophomores Lee Humphrey and Chris Richard. As did walk-ons Garrett Tyler and Jack Berry. Ask any of them and they'll say they all deserved it. SEE HOOPS; PAGE 23 Fee/ free to take your seat at spring practice Yfes, it's March again. Yes, that means Madness is Y about to ensue.

It's open ifisher@alligator.org to fans and a fair amount show up. But this year, things are different. Well, only one thing, really: Urban Meyer. "I don't know if it's an extra day. We're playing at like eight o'clock in the morning." Billy Donovan UF basketball coach, on UF's 12:20 game Friday I'm actually excited about spring practice. Last year, I think I stood there getting the biggest farmer's tan in the world for two hours every practice, complaining about how boring it was. As if that wasn't bad enough, it got worse. We had to listen to Ron Zook babble his fake injury reports and his "We're getting better and better" line every other day. I was actually fooled, though -that's the sad thing.

The Gators finished the season with a 23-11 record before falling to Syracuse in the Sweet 16. ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org UF faces in-state foe By MICHAEL MAURINO Alligator Writer mmaurino@alligator.org Some would call the Gators dead. But UF still finds itself clutching the lifesaver tossed by the Women's National Invitational Tournament. Out of the NCAA Tournament field, the Gators' season is still alive despite being on a four game losing streak. UF (14-14, 5-9 Southeastern Conference) was selected to the Women's NIT late Sunday. They will play at South Florida on Thursday at 7 p.m. In USF, the Gators face Lowe a familiar foe. Since 1974, the teams have played 37 times, with UF the victor in all but three games. Resuming the series in 2001 after a six-year hiatus, the Gators have defeated the Bulls by an average of 16 points. On Jan. 2, UF claimed a 58-50 victory over USF in Gainesville. Senior Tamia Williams said even though the two teams met this season, it was too long ago to have an accurate gauge of USF's play. But she adds this meeting may be another close defensive game. "I know we are two different teams now," the guard said. "I think it may be a totally different look on the game, but it may not." Following that game, USF coach Jose Fernandez thought the Bulls was the better team, saying "We beat ourselves. They didn't beat us." At the time, UF coach Carolyn Peck said the Gators won because they had the best team, not the best individual players. On Monday, she removed any ideas of so-called bulletin board material being sent up and down Interstate 75. "I talked to their coach after that, he gave me a call," Peck said. "And really I think that whole episode was blown out of proportion .That was so long ago." UF wants to get back to playing and show they are better than a .500 team. Junior Sarah Lnwe said UF is ready for Thursday's game. "Ideally, we're prepared and we have all the tools for us and we just have to execute them when the time is there to do so," she said. "I think as a team we'd say we're very prepared to go forth and do that." EThe UF men's basketball team finished the season ranked No. 16 in the final Associated Press poll. The Gators had been unranked prior to the Southeastern Conference Tournament.

TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 23 MEN'S BASKETBALL SFCC's Greene emulates friend AWash's success By RYAN MOSS Alligator Contributing Writer Matt Walsh dribbles upcourt, gets to the 3-point line and lofts an alley-oop pass to Brian Greene, who soars above the rim and slams the ball down with authority. Wait a minute. Walsh plays for UF and Greene plays for Santa Fe -how is that play possible? Over the past couple summers, the two superstars have played together at UF and a friendship has blossomed. "I've went and watched some of his games and he comes and gets tickets to my games sometimes," Walsh said about Greene. "He is just my boy." Walsh said the friends have never played one-on-one, but Walsh joked that the athletic Greene would probably dunk on him. Both players give opposing coaches nightmares, but for different reasons. Walsh is feared for his incredible shooting ability, while Greene's tremendous athleticism allows him to dominate nearly all aspects of the game. "He changes the game on the defensive end with blocked shots and steals and plays good, solid defense," Saints coach Chris Mowry said. "Offensively, he is very explosive." But while Walsh is preparing for the NCAA Tournament, Greene's prolific career at Santa Fe is over. The third-year sophomore didn't get a chance to showcase his talent in the NJCAA Championship -the Saints were defeated in their Greene first playoff game. Next year, the friends will finally get a chance to battle it out in a true NCAA game. Greene has signed a letter-of-intent with Florida A&M. "I am really excited about playing against him," Greene said. "The atmosphere is going to be great and I know we'll be talking." Although Greene's final season at Santa Fe ended earlier that planned, he leaves after an impressive year. Greene led the Saints in scoring, rebournds, blocks and steals. "He just has a competitive spirit and a will to win," Mowry said. "He hates losing and is very unselfish. He doesn't care who. gets the glory as long as the team wins." Winning was one ting Greene and company did this year. Santa Fe opened the season with 20 consecutive wins and-was ranked as high as No. 4 nationally. The Saints finished the season in a three-way conference tie, but fell to Daytona Beach in a playoff game. Now Greene heads to tile next level, but he expected to be here long ago. Greene was a high school star in various sports, but he would not commit to one sport and colleges were turned off. FAMU coach Mike Gillespie is very excited about the arrival of the 6'4" guard. He feels that Greene's attitude and athleticism will be crucial come next season. Additionally, Gillespie is confident that Greene will make an instant impact. "He has the potential to be [the MEAC] Player of the Year," he said. Gators 'peaking at the right time' HOOPS, from page 22 Ask Lee and he'll explain how each player has become a crucial cog in the new Cadillac of the SEC. He'll explain how difficult the Gators are to beat with shutdown defenders (Brewer), loose-ball gobblers (Horford), and bench monsters (Richard). And heading into UF's NCAA Tournament first-round game against Ohio on Friday, Lee will explain how confident he is with a group that fought through disappointing early-season losses to click when it mattered. "This team is peaking at the right time," Lee said. "The teams in past years in December might have beaten this team, but it's not even close in February and March." That's just a sample of a new-found confidence through chemistry the Gators say they'll take to Nashville on Friday. "We have more talent than anybody in the country," said Roberson following Sunday's Kentucky win. "And now we've got the attitude. It's over now." One might say the Gators were on a mission in Atlanta. But Moss sure wouldn't. "When you say we were on a mission, that means the mission is over," Moss said. "The mission isn't over. We're-still on a mission." IANNINGS, from page 22 be different after everything Zook had to say last spring. Then Tennessee happened. Then LSU happened. Then the unthinkable -Mississippi State -happened. Same Gators team, yet nothing had changed. Then Zook was fired and the program finally had-a chance to be turned around. It won't be like that this year. Meyer is going to make practices fun to watch. Meyer's going to be honest with reporters. If someone gets hurt, he'll tell us. Last year, Zook wouldn't let fans sit. As if watching the Gators lose to bad teams wasn't punishment enough to Gators fans, he made them stand up in sweltering heat just to watch boring practices. Zook called it a work area because he and his players were working. Breaking news: fans are not working. Zook was getting 'paid out there. Fans were not. This year, fans can sit again. That, coupled with the fact that spring practices might have some excitement to them, gives fans no excuse not to get out to at least a practice or two. Besides, NCAA Tournament games are at the end of the week until the championship. And just think. You can sit this year. Just like you would be watching basketball. ...............Nw Treadmills .I I Free Workout with this ad! Di'pession GRXZK BLOOD DRIVE gq mna$59 0:0we;s.
