OH NO-VA!


Gators out of

NCAA tourney

By LOUIS ANASTASIS
Alligator Staff Writer
lanastasis@alligator.org

NASHVILLE Somber was
the mood. Silent were the fans. Wet
were the tears.
There is no manual for NCAA
Tournament emotions. There is no
formula for shunning the slap of an
early Tournament exit.
"This isn't a game," said junior
forward Adrian Moss following his
team's 76-65 loss to Villanova. "A
game is something that children
in a schoolyard play. You don't
see grown men sprawled out on
the ground crying after a game.
Emotions got involved, and it
hurts."
UF smarted on Sunday -un-
like other eliminated teams. Gator


Nation thought the days of early
Tournament pitfalls were over, or
at least temporarily halted. But
after averting Friday's Ohio scare,
a familiar feeling returned. For the
fifth consecutive season, the Gators
packed their luggage during the
Tournament's opening weekend.
"It was like a blown opportu-
nity," junior guard Matt Walsh said.
"That's the worst feeling. The last
two years, I don't know if we had
a chance to win anything, but this
year I felt like we did."
In 2003, Walsh and the young
Gators fell to Michigan State in
the second round. Last season, a
depleted and worn UF slipped to
Manhattan. But this season, espe-
cially after winning the Southeastern
Conference Tournament, the Gators
that played like the 2000-2001 ver-
sion were supposed to be back.
Sunday, those hopes fizzled.
"We felt like we were one of the

loss to Villanova. Walsh finished the game with 12 points before fouling out.


John concert postponed


By EVA KIS
Alligator Staff Writer
ekis@alligator.org

Instead of hoisting light rigs and ar-
ranging the makeshift floor section of
seats to prepare the Stephen C. O'Connell
Center for a concert by Academy Award-
winning performer Elton John, staff and
roadies spent Sunday breaking down a
half-built stage and boxing up wires.
At approximately 2:15 p.m.,
O'Connell Center Business Manager
Renee Musson was contacted by rep-
resentatives of the singer, who asked to
postpone the event citing an unknown
sickness.
"He has been ill through a few of his
other dates," Musson said.
John showed up for both of his prior
Florida shows Friday and Saturday.


Teams of UF
sororities and
fraternities
battled it out for
a good cause in
the annual Ulti-
mate Dodgeball
Tournament on
Saturday.
See story, pg. 3.


She said the concert will be resched-
uled for an as-yet undetermined date.
"We're still pending putting together
our availabilities with his availabilities,"
Musson said.
The more than 10,000 tickets sold for
Sunday's show will
be valid for any future
date, she said, though
refunds won't neces-
sarily be provided.
"There'll have to
be some accommoda-
tions made," Musson
John said, citing graduat-
ing seniors as an ex-
ample of ticketholders who may not be
able to attend a makeup date.
Representatives for John were not
available for comment. He is scheduled
to perform next in Dallas on Thursday.

SGP also a 'legacy' affair


By MEGAN SEERY
Alligator Staff Writer
mseery@alligator.org

The most-funded Student Government
organization has been in Greek control dur-
ing much of the last 10 years.
Former high-ranking officials of Student
Government Productions, UF's entertain-
ment bureau, say that historically, SG of-
ficials have used their authority to promote
a "legacy" system a form of nepotism in
which students are awarded SG positions
based on their organizational affiliations.
Historically, important SG positions have
been distributed by a "house and group
system" involving Greek and other student
organizations, according to a 1998 circuit
court ruling.
At least eight of the past 10 SGP chair-
persons were fraternity members, and the
last four chairmen hail from Theta Chi
fraternity.
Andrea Kaufman, who ran SGP from
1991 to 1992, was the last woman appointed
to the position. Only two women headed
SGP in the agency's more than 30-year his-

tory.
Kaufman's appointment was the result
of a dispute between two fraternities, she
said.
"The position was contested between
two power groups," she said. "I was not
going to get the position because I did not
belong to a fraternity or sorority."
Kaufman and other students who
worked at SGP for years but lacked Greek
affiliation were discouraged from applying
for the chair position, she
Student said.

and told it probably
wouldn't happen because
someone would be placed in it," she said.
"I know people in. the organization who
thought they would not even be consid-
ered."
Because the fraternities could not agree
about who should lead SGP, Kaufman was
awarded the position, she said.
"The other two groups couldn't come to
terms with a chair," Kaufman said. "I was

LOCAL
Gainesville residents walk
for AIDS awareness
Members of the Gainesville
community gathered Saturday
to raise money for the Women's
Global Health Imperative at the
Panhellenic "Women's Walk for
Hope."
More than 500 people par-
ticipated in the 5K walk and lis-
tened to Thomas Lister, an AIDS
activist who is HIV positive.
Lister spoke to the attendees
about raising AIDS awareness.
"It was really powerful and
very effective," Panhellenic
Council President. Ashley
Gomberg said.
If he can teach one person
about AIDS awareness, Lister
said, then it's worth it for him to
share his personal story.
The Women's Global Health
Imperative is a project designed
to help women around the world
protect themselves from AIDS
and other STDs and to promote
safe motherhood, according to a
release.
Chi Omega Sorority member
Nikki Weber participated in the
walk with a group of friends.
"Overall, it was a really
rewarding experience," Weber
said. "It was fun to be out there
with my friends and know it was
for such a great cause."
Participants started the walk
at 8 a.m. on Gale Lemerand Drive
and circled the UF campus.

CITY ELECTION PROFILES


Incumbent loyal to Gainesville


Editor's note: This is the first in a series of four articles
taking a closer look at candidates for the Gainesville
City Commission At-Large seat.
By IVETTE MENDEZ
Alligator Writer
imendez@alligator.org

Trying to contact Rick Bryant during Gator games is
pointless. Any efforts will be met with answering machines
and voicemail.
The time he spends at both men's and women's sporting
events is special to the incumbent At-Large commissioner
because that's the time he spends with his three kids and
wife of 20 years.
The Gainesville native and lifelong resident, who earned
a bachelor's degree in history and a master's in political
science from UF, believes his local flair and know-how give
him an edge against the other three candidates.
"I believe I'm the only one in my race who grew up here,"
Bryant said.
Bryant's involvement with UF continues with his posi-
tion on the Graduate and Professional School Admissions
Board at the Office of the Registrar, and his longstanding
history with Gainesville makes him well-versed in the city's
past.
"I've lived here since 1971," he said. "I've kind of seen
how Gainesville has grown and changed."
Bryant refers to his first term as commissioner as gradu-
ate school and says winning the upcoming election would
be akin to working on his second degree. With only 18
months in office under his belt, the incumbent is running for
re-election because he wants more time to finish the projects
he began.
"For the first year, you're learning how Gainesville
works," Bryant said. "You work your butt off."
Bryant said his competition does not realize how hard it
is to make ideas a reality due to the fact that when sitting on
the commission, other commissioners have different ideas
and agendas from your own.
"They think they are going to change everything in a
three-year term," he said.


In such a short term, Bryant admitted he was not able
to accomplish everything but focused on making recreation
more available to residents and teaming with Teen Zone and
Action Network to bring federally funded, structured after-
school programs to area public schools that provide kids
with activities until their parents get home at 6 p.m.
"I still want to continue to work on the issues
that led me to run the first time."
Rick Bryant
Incumbent at-large City Commissioner


The rate of juvenile crime in middle schools is double that
of high schools because middle schoolers have fewer struc-
tured programs, Bryant said, noting that there are iow 500
kids enrolled who would otherwise be out on the street.
"That's called making a difference," Bryant said.
"I still want to continue to work on the issues that led me
to run the first time," Bryant added, crediting his dedica-
tion to the public school system to his kids, with whom he's
spent hours watching "Star Wars," now one of his favorite
films.
"All three of my kids love 'Star Wars,"' he said. "We can
bond."
Bryant's vested interests in Gainesville, such as his co-
ownership of Godfather's Pizza, prompt him to find ways
to encourage residents who have grown up in Gainesville
to stay here.
"A lot of people feel obligated to go," Bryant said. "There
are just not that many jobs."
Bryant added that many residents feel the job opportu-
nities in Gainesville are not adequate and look to Orlando
or Tampa. He has worked to bring entry-level jobs to serve
the whole community instead of relying on UF as the main
source of jobs for the city, noting that entry-level as well as
biotech jobs are necessary to give people of all skill levels the
opportunities they seek locally.
Bryant's desire to improve the quality of life for all resi-
dents, especially by developing the east side of Gainesville,
is what he said first encouraged him to run.


Jeff Sirmons / Alligator
Incumbent Rick Bryant is one of four candidates for the
City Commission At-Large seat.
Bryant said he does not like the large development gap
between East and West Gainesville, which continues to
grow, he said, adding that the development of stronger, safer
neighborhoods is crucial to the city's future.
But Bryant wants to be famous for something other than
his accomplishments as city commissioner playing bas-
ketball, if he has time outside his job and family.


Charities get the


)oils as Greeks hurl dodgeballs


By KYLIE CRAIG
Alligator Writer
kcraig@alligator.org


Teams of UF sororities and fraternities battle in the Ultimate Dodgeball Tournament on Saturday.
Funds raised will benefit spinal muscular atrophy and Court Appointed Special Advocates.


More-than 400 members of UF's
Greek community battled it out
Saturday at Phi Delta Theta Fraternity
and Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority's an-
nual dodgeball tournament.
The philanthropy made more than
$5,000 for spinal muscular atrophy and
Court AppointedcSpecial Advocates.
Forty-two teams competed in the
tournament, which lasted more than
four hours.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity
member Ben Branoff helped his team
defeat Lamda Chi Alpha Fraternity in
one of the first rounds of play.
"We're kicking ass and taking
names," Branoff said, adding how excit-
ed he was to beat the other fraternities.
April Palmer, who helped organize
the event along with Blake Taelman,
Chase Deuschle and Katie Lenyo, said
players were becoming very intense by
the championship game.
"They were definitely hardcore,"
Palmer said. "They really wanted to
win."
It came down to two teams from
Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity that played
with Delta Delta Delta and Alpha
Omicron Pi sororities.
Sigma Phi Epsilon Team One and
Delta Delta Delta won the champion-
ship game, taking home dodgeball
trophies.
Kappa Alpha Theta member Corinne
Crollard played in the tournament and
helped coach Lambda Chi Alpha's


team.
"It's amazing. I haven't played
dodgeball since I was in elementary
school," she said. "It is so much fun."
The Greek organizations participat-
ing raised money during the week
through penny voting, attendance fees
and T-shirt sales.
There was also an opening event
Friday at the Kappa Alpha Theta soror-
ity house, where money was collected
and a band played for the students.

"It's been stressful, but it's
been well worth it because
it's for such a good cause.
Dodgeball is just one of those
games where even if you get
beat, you still end up having
so much fun."
April Palmer
Event co-organizer


Delta Gamma Sorority and Sigma Pi
Fraternity won the overall. participation
award and the UF water polo team won
the sportsmanship award. A UF con-
struction team also participated.
4 Palmer said although the event took
a lot of work to put together, it greatly
surpassed her expectations.
"It's been stressful, but it's been well
worth it because it's for such a good
cause," she said.
"Dodgeball is just one of those games
where even if you get beat, you still end
up having so much fun."

Jury finds Hudson guilty


Third trial ends

in 'compromise'

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

After two previous mistrials and 16
hours of deliberation last week, Willie
James Hudson was found guilty of two
counts of manslaughter Friday, marking
an end to four months of uncertainty.
"We're very pleased with the convic-
tion, although it wasn't exactly what we
had hoped for," State. Attorney's Office
spokesman Spencer Mann said Friday
evening. "But considering the tough
road we've had to travel through three
trials, we're very satisfied with the deci-
sion the jury has returned."
In December and February, two sepa-
rate juries were unable to reach a verdict
in the double-murder case involving the
shooting deaths of Gainesville resident
John Adkins, 28, and Kevin Harris, 29.
Round three of the trial began Tuesday
and concluded Thursday morning, when
the jury first began deliberating.
Both the state and the defense said
they were surprised by the verdict.
Hudson, 30, was tried on two counts
of first-degree murder for the July 2003
shootings.
According to the prosecution, Adkins
borrowed Hudson's car to complete a
drug transaction with Harris, for which


Hudson would be in the backseat,
hoping to rob Harris of approximately
$8,000.
When Harris fought back, however,
the ensuing struggle lead to Hudson
shooting him three times, prosecuting
attorney Geoffrey Fleck said. A stray
bullet hit Adkins, the driver, in the back
of the head, and the car rammed into
Gainesville City Commissioner Craig
Lowe's front porch.
Considering two previous juries
struggled with reaching a verdict they
deliberated for 11 and 7 hours respective-
ly defense attorney Stephen Bernstein
said he felt the jury settled
on manslaughter.
"It catches me off-
Lcal guard because-to me, it's
Court clearly a compromise,"
Bernstein said after court
adjourned. "You know,
we've had two verdicts that were split,
and I think this jury was probably head-
ing there and they said, 'Well, we'll just
compromise,' because no one argued for
manslaughter neither side thought that
was a viable option or a credible option."
Punishment for a third charge against
Hudson, possession of a firearm by a con-
victed felon, is to be decided by presid-
ing Judge Mary Day Coker, as Hudson's
criminal history was not divulged before
the jury. Under Florida statute, Hudson
could receive a minimum of 18 years and
as much as life in prison.
Sentencing is scheduled to take place
next week.


SG, GAU protest exclusion


By JEFF SIRMONS
Alligator Writer
jsirmons@alligator.org

UF students involved with Graduate
Assistants United will protest today along-
side members of Student Government about
a $50 fee SG officials feel is "discriminatory
against international students."
International students feel the fee adds
to already-high tuition costs and argue that
other Florida universities have waived the
fee for their foreign students.
Both SG and GAU requested to speak
with the UF Board of Trustees during the 15-
minute public comment session contained
in each meeting, but both were declined.
Since international affairs is not on the
Board of Trustees' agenda, and because GAU
recently petitioned the Board of Governors,
which oversees all. state university boards,
to give an opinion on international-student
fees, the UF trustees decided not to allow
either- group to speak, according to Student
Senator Robin Collins.
'"They should not be able to censor a
student's right to speak in the interest of
students," Collins said.
Jamal Sowell, Student Body president
and the only student on the Board of
Trustees, said he worked with both GAU
and SG to ensure their voices would be
heard, adding that he made sure the groups


sent their requests before deadline.
"I've never seen anyone get denied,"
Sowell said. "I guess there's something le-
gally binding them from speaking, but we'll
find that out [today]."
"It's not even about the extra
expense. Now, it's about whether
students have the right to speak
with the Board of Trustees."
Todd Reynolds
GAU co-president

The Student Senate passed a resolution
Nov. 30 specifically designed for discussion
at the Board of Trustees meeting, and Sowell
said he e-mailed it to each trustee.
Sowell said he would appear at the pro-
test, which takes place outside Emerson Hall
at 12:15 p.m. Board of Trustees committee
meetings start there at 1-p.m.
GAU Co-President Todd Reynolds said
the protest is designed to convince the
Board of Trustees to allow either GAU or SG
to speak during the public comment period.
Members from.both groups will chant and
hold signs during the meeting if necessary
to try to get their voices heard.
"It's not even about the extra expense,"
Reynolds said. "Now, it's about whether
students have the right to speak with the
Board of Trustees."

leaders on universal health care. -
More than 150 people gathered to
discuss the benefits of coverage and
the disparity in access to quality care
between socioeconomic groups.
"We think every criminal- has
the constitutional right to a lawyer,
but we don't think that a sick baby
has the right to a doctor," former
U.S. Surgeon General and keynote
speaker Joycelyn Elders said.
The nation's medical system
needs a grassroots change, positing
that the long-term solution lies in
nutritional and physical education
in schools.


Preventative education will save
the money being funneled into treat-
ment for illnesses such as diabetes
and heart disease, she said.
Elders said that, while patients
need to fight for the right to health
care, doctors should politic as well.
"Doctors could bring down this
health care system in a week if they
wanted to," she said.
Alachua County Commissioner
Cynthia Chestnut attended the event
to speak about the public health care
program approved by Alachua
County voters in November called
CHOICES. The program, which


provides primary health care ser-
vices to those working uninsured, is
funded through a quarter-cent sales
tax that will raise
$49 million over
seven years.
The meeting
was sponsored
by the Avery
Institute for
Social Change, a
Elders New York-based
non-profit orga-
nization that works to raise aware-
ness of the lack of minority access
-to the medical system. Thirty-eight


local groups co-sponsored the event,
including eight UF organizations.
Randy Kammer from Blue Cross
and Blue Shield of Florida insurance
presented an alternate view.
"If this were utopia, free unlim-
ited health care would be possible,"
she said, but added that the costs of
such a system aren't feasible.
She cited Western European
countries that have widespread
public access to health care. There is
still a class divide in those countries
because people who can afford it opt
for private health insurance, which
provides better care, she said.

Leadership


is not found


in promises
Joined this party because it truly
believes in the principles of de-
ocracy and student input. I was
proud to join a party that allowed its
volunteers to choose its presidential
candidate and party name.
I am proud that we created the
online-voting ballot initiative, and,
as Student Body president, I would
continue to promote that issue. I am
committed to online voting because I
believe that it can change a lot about
Student Government. When a majority
of students are voting, then SG officials
must listen to all students equally.
We can end the cycle of favoritism
and single-constituency pandering
that has consumed SG in the past. This
can happen if we elect leaders who
believe that bringing SG to all students
is more than a campaign slogan. I have
worked for the last year to do this, and
progress has been made.
However,
the return of
the old guard
in SG has seen
the return of
many of their
Dennis Ngin old tactics.
Dennis Ng I am sure
Speaking Out m y of you
many of you
have been
as disgusted as me by the charges of
bribery and threats issued to students.
I believe students and organizational
leaders, should not have to fear cuts
to their budgets or refusal of special
requests as a result of not wearing the
right color T-shirt during March.
All students want change, but
change requires action. Students. must
not be discouraged from the polls.
They should view this corruption as a
call to arms. It should be one of the rea-
sons you choose to vote for Impact.
Students also should vote for
Impact because I have a proven record
of achievement. There is more to lead-
ership than holding a position or sitting
on a committee. Leadership is about
actively making a difference in the life
of the average student. During the past
year, I authored the first resolution in
the state of Florida opposing block tu-
ition. This resolution went on to unify
all of the state universities through the
Florida Students Association.
I was the only SG official to oppose
the Board of Trustees and fight against
the rise in Activity & Service fees. I did
not just place this issue on my platform
I spent a semester developing a plan-
to keep tuition low and mitigate cuts to
student organization budgets.
For several years, students at the
Medical Center have been promised
a gym to meet the demands of their
schedules. I moved forward and took
the initiative to accomplish this task.
I did not simply talk about making a
difference I turned my ideas into
action. This is the pivotal difference
between my opponent and myself.
The Impact Party strongly believes
in open, honest and effective Student
Government. I have chosen a ticket of
the most-qualified student leaders on
campus. We wish to make a difference
for all students.
Dennis Ngin is the presidential
candidate for the Impact Party.

Editorial


Runoff roundup

With Progress out of the

equation, Impact is best
This decision wasn't quite as hard as the last one.
Everyone on the Alligator editorial board agrees Joe
Goldberg is the most experienced and qualified candidate
in the election. Everyone agrees that he is the most likely to be
able to push forward the legislation he supports.
However, everyone also agrees that his interests do not
coincide with those of the student body. More importantly, we
cannot in good faith endorse a candidate we believe has consis-
tently proven that he and his party will resort to any means nec-
essary to secure victory regardless of moral considerations.
Because of these factors, as well as an objective look at the
qualifications of each individual candidate, the Alligator en-
dorses the Impact Party in the SG runoff elections.
But don't take the sentiments above to mean we endorse
Impact soley because they aren't Gator: Impact has,.overall, the
more-impressive executive slate. While Goldberg takes the nod
for president, Impact's vice presidential candidate Robert Mack
and treasurer candidate Michelle Lightbourne are more promis-
ing than Gator's Joyce Medina and Lindsay Cosimi.
Mack is the most compelling candidate for vice president
from any party, including Progress. His experience as lobby
coordinator has prepared him for the give-and-take that is re-
quired for change in SG especially considering the division
of power in the Student Senate between the Access senators and
the largely-Gator new senators. The positions Mack has held,
including Student Senate parliamentarian, do not directly trans-
late into success in the vice president's primary duty of oversee-
ing the SG cabinets, but he has demonstrated the most enthusi-
asm and the most detailed ideas for improvement in SG.
Lightbourne, despite being a fill-in for former treasurer can-
didate Elda Auxiliaire, has experience more relevant to the job
and a more clearly defined sense of what she must accomplish
than Cosimi. Between overseeing a $62,000 budget as president
of Benton Engineering Council and working with constituents'
financial concerns as a Student Senator, she has dealt with the
allocation of SG funds on a line-by-line basis.
Cosimi, on the other hand, primarily has been connected.to
SG financial matters through serving on a number of fee and
funding committees. Whether or not she is capable of dealing
with the day-to-day working of budgets has not been seen.
Furthermore, Impact's goals- fit better with the students'
needs. The easy example of this is online voting: Impact spear-
headed the movement to get the initiative on the ballot, whereas
Gator's waffling on the issue has been well documented.
While the promises that come most frequently out of the
mouths of the Gator candidates tend to be free towels at cam-
pus gyms and a staunch opposition to a mythical "dry cam-
pus," Impact has kept its focus on student representation and a
number of pragmatic student issues such as moving toward
a totally wireless campus, the breaking of legacy positions in SG
and a reduction in Activity & Service Fee increases.
With the Progress Party's loss in the initial elections, the op-
portunity for change in SG took a hard blow. But there still is a
chance that hope for the future could be kept alive. The Impact
Party likely would serve much as the Access Party has: Impact's
members may not follow through on all of their promises for
student access, but they would further the cause in some way.
A future with the Gator Party in control of SG, on the other
hand, would be nothing but a step backward. The advances to-
ward increased representation in SG made during the past year
may be small, but they are real.
If the students do not elect a party that will continue these
advances, as we believe the Impact Party would, SG will de-
volve completely back to the elite-dominated system it histori-
cally has been.

Opinions


Terrible cases pier
n a way, this week was like any other. There was war,
but nobody paid much attention. A hero Mark
McGwire fell, and nobody seemed too surprised.
But there were a couple stories that broke through our
shield of collective cynicism and dispassion, if only for
a moment.
One is the case of Terri Schiavo. Schiavo, who is in
a vegetative state due to effects of an eating disorder,
now is dying a slow death because doctors removed her
feeding tube.
This is sick irony and another example that God may
have a dark and twisted sense of humor.
It also is sadly ironic that such a shy person is in-
volved in such a publicized political battle.
But now that it has become such a battle, Democrats
have managed to take up the wrong side again.
According to ABC News, a bill aimed at prolong-
ing Shiavo's life was -delayed Sunday when House
Democrats in Washington blocked a voice vote.
Democrats should not kid themselves there will
be political repercussions if they continue to fight for
Terri's death. This is a gut issue.
It just doesn't seem right that a woman can dehy-
drate and die against the wishes of her family.
It just doesn't seem right that her husband, Michael
Shiavo, could sue and win a-$1 million-plus settlement
to take care of her for the rest of her life and then claim
a few years later that she had told him she didn't want
life support if it became necessary.
And the Democrats just don't seem right for taking
the side of death instead of life.
But the sadness of the whole Shiavo debacle pales in
comparison to the Jessica Lunsford story that reached
its horrific conclusion Friday.
The body of the 9-year-old Florida girl, who has been
missing since February, was found near a mobile home
in which a sex offender was living at the time of the
girl's disappearance.


ce political apathy
-A man with more than two
dozen arrests, including burglary
^ and fondling a child under age
16, admitted to killing Jessica.
According to MSNBC, "she
had been last seen in bed after at-
Jason Levitt tending church. She was discov-
The Watchtower ered missing the next morning,
letters@alligator.org with the door unlocked and her
stuffed animal gone. The clothes
she had laid out for school were
still in place, and her shoes weren't missing."
In 1978, this same monster was accused of grabbing
a girl in her bedroom, placing his hand over her mouth
and kissing her, Citrus County Sheriff Jeff Dawsy said.
He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, but he only
served two.
Two. Unbelievable.
It is amazing what unimaginable horror can cut
through our day-to-day reality like a knife how ran-
dom, terrible things can happen to the most beautiful
and innocent among us.
I know it is passe to feel anything in this age of cyni-
cism, but both the Shiavo and Lunsford stories have
given me a feeling like I am looking into a well -- an
impenetrable darkness surrounded by cold and unfor-
giving stones.
If there is a point to politics, and indeed to life, it is to
protect the weakest among us from this abyss.
If it takes the president to intervene on Terri Shiavo's
behalf, fine.
If it takes tattooing the foreheads 'of these child-rap-
ist scum with a large R, fine.
These cases beg for solutions, not lawyers, legal
wrangling and talk of civil rights for heinous, evil
criminals.

Ngin and Impact offer student access
Editor: As'one who has run for Student
Senate with the underdog party two years in
a row and lost and was a cabinet director until
I illegitimately was extradited from Student
Government, I am not surprised at the out-
come of the election. But proper due must go
to the rightful heir to the Access presidential
throne, Dehnis Ngin, for his hard work and
the integrity he has shown this past year.
I have seen firsthand how Ngin has re-
fused to make deals, walking away from
Jamal Sowell's selling out to the Greeks
(exactly one Student Senate seat given to
every fraternity on campus) and insisting "all
qualified students will be given positions in
SG." Ngin truly is more the legitimate "un-
derdog-populist" candidate. The students
should have faith that Ngin will not promise
away anything to the Greeks, as he already
has displayed his integrity by choosing a
Greek running mate, Robert Mack, who I
will tell you from personal experience is not a
stereotypical Greek.
Mack worked extremely hard with me as
student advocacy director to lobby success-
fully against a Gainesville Towing Advisory



T e Alligator always attempts to
present an unbiased selection of
letters that represent all sides of
an issue.
In keeping with this tradition, we
intended to include letters supporting
both the Impact Party and the Gator
Party in preparation for the, coming
Runoff elections.
Unfortunately, we did not receive any
pro-Gator Party letter submissions in the
aftermath of the original elections.
Had we received any, we gladly
would have printed them in addition
to these pro-Impact Party letters. As
we did not, however, it obviously was
impossible for us to do so.


Board request to raise city towing rates to $90,
and he is displaying immense courage by
running with the "non-Greek" Impact Party.
Perhaps Ngin hasn't been in the limelight
so much precisely because he has carefully
stepped away from the "glamorous corrup-
tion" in SG that the Alligator loves to go
after.
But now is the time to focus on Ngin.
Perhaps Progress supporters will realize
Dennis is no bad guy and that he deserves
their volunteerism for the runoff.
Greek students and non, those who truly
wanted access for all students from Sowell,
should not hesitate to vote for Ngin in this
year's executive runoff. All students should
support Dennis Ngin for Student Body presi-

SG ELECTIONS

Head-to-head: How SG party platforms match up


By BRIDGET CAREY
Alligator Staff Writer
bcarey@alligator.org

Since January, the Impact and
Gator parties have debated plat-
forms and slung mud at each other,
but their political skirmishes boil
down to this week as both go head-
to-head in an executive-ticket runoff
Student Government election this
Tuesday and Wednesday.
The swings the parties have
taken at each other involve online
voting, an alcohol-free campus and
dealings with UF administration.
The Gator Party made 14 prom-
ises on their platform, and Impact
listed 31 promises and defined those
that are short- and long-term goals.

Online Voting
The Impact Party was the driving
force in creating the petition to get
the issue of online voting for future
SG elections on the ballot. Although
the petition which garnered
enough signatures was blocked
from appearing on the ballot by

















"...forbidden and
all-consuming passions..."
-Chicago Sun-Times

NY Times


the SG Supreme Court, Impact's
presidential candidate Dennis Ngin
promises that if elected, online
voting would be put into effect, so
students can vote for future SG lead-
ers in the comfort of their own home
using GatorLink identification.
Ngin said he has more passion
than Gator to make online voting a
reality.
"We have
people who are
seriously com-
mitted to having
this happen in the
future," he said.
Joe Goldberg,
Ngin Gator presiden-
tial candidate,
said his party is in favor of the idea
of the online initiative.
"I think that we're right around
the comer from implementing on-
line voting," Goldberg said.
In previous debates, Goldberg
has said he was not convinced about
the security, but he now is more op-
timistic of the situation.
"I think that we've done a lot of


research on it," Goldberg said, not-
ing that the committees who have
already done research have shown
the program is "safe and secure."
He later added that, perhaps,
another task force inquiry is needed
before SG can seal the issue.

The "dry campus" debate
UF's administration has not
taken an official stance toward
alcohol on campus, but it has said
it's deliberating over how to handle
what the university feels is a drink-
ing problem with UF students.
Goldberg said the administration
has taken actions that are hostile-to
drinking on campus.
For example, administration has
banned beer sponsorships at an on-
campus Rascal Flatts concert. And,
Goldberg adds, UF officials are not
smiling upon his committee seeking
to extend the time that city bars can
keep their doors open.
The Gator Party promises to fight
against the possibility of an alcohol-

"It's something the students
have said they want," Goldberg said
about extending bar closing times,
noting that he would speak up for
what students want.

Ngin sees the alcohol question

"Making a platform issue so
staunchly against a dry campus
shows his inability to work with ad-

Ngin added.
Ngin added.


Administrative oversight
In a recent battle stemming from
a pudding wrestling match involv-
ing UF women's- rugby, Impact's
Ngin sided with a UF administra-
tion rule that required its approval
of all fundraisers.-for student orga-
nizations.

fortunate hindrance, the new
approval process would help or-
ganizations avoid potential fund-
raising problems by unknowingly
breaking rules.
"If it becomes a burden on the
student, then of course I'll be against
it," Ngin said.
Goldberg said if he were in
Ngin's position, he would not have
sided with the administration.
"We have to have a little more
faith in our students," Goldberg
said.
From his experience with club-
sport members, Goldberg said that
they are "very disappointed in
this."

* CONTROVERSIES OVER SG
POSITIONS ARE NOT NEW.

By MEGAN SEERY
Alligator Staff Writer
mseery@alligator.org

Despite a 1998 circuit court
ruling that found Greek houses
were employed to control Student
Government offices and subse-
quent denials of deal-making,
fraternities continue to dominate
Student Government Productions
appointments.
Attempts to buck the trend
were hindered last summer in a
partisan dispute between loyalists
of the Greek-backed Innovate and
Ignite parties and those within the
Access Party. -
At least eight of the past 10
SGP chairpersons have been fra-
ternity members, and the past four
have been members of Theta Chi
Fraternity.
Student Body President Jamal
Sowell caused a controversy in
June 2004 when he recommended
Will Sexton, who had no SGP ex-
perience or Greek affiliation, as the
agency's next chairman.


But the Student Senate, along
with then-Senate President Joe
Goldberg, denied Sexton's ap-
pointment and later voted in
Theta Chi Fraternity member Jeff
Yeatman as SGP chairman.
Murmurs within SG specu-
lated that Goldberg, Gator Party
presidential candidate, used his
authority as Senate president to
manipulate procedure and ignore
those who supported Sexton, en-
suring that his appointment would
be blocked.
While he
Student stands behind
Government Y ea t m a n,
Goldberg said
he could have handled Senate mat-
ters better on the Senate floor.
"It was a divided Senate with a
lot of emotions," he said. "I should
have been more open to the sena-
tors who were there."
Yeatman, who held the SGP
productions chairman position
the previous year, said both he and
Sexton were well-qualified.
"I never made any political
moves," Yeatman said. "My expe-
rience in SGP is what got me the
job."

administrative vice president for the
Interfratemity Council, said using
the Greek system for "legacy" ap-
pointments has faded into a practice
of the past.
"I've heard of it happening
some time ago," he said, "but I've
not actually seen it practiced since
I've been involved."
SG officials hire students for
their qualifications, and many
qualified individuals happen to be
Greek due to the leadership train-
ing and mentorship network they
have, he said.
"Students get positions because
of who they are and what they can
bring to an organization," he said,
"not just because Greek letters
come after their names."
Working for SGP can be a valu-
able experience for students who
want to break into the competitive
entertainment industry.
Several former SGP chairper-
sons have become big names.
Raul Mateu, chairman from 1990
to 1991, is a senior vice president at
the William Morris Agency, a lead-
ing talent firm, and Ron Opaleski,
chair from 1995 to 1996, is a top
agent in the entertainment industry.
Kaufman said she became in-
volved with the agency her fresh-
man year because she thought the
experience would help her become
a concert promoter.
But Kaufman, who was offered a
, job with Cellar Door Concerts right
out of college, said she wasn't sure
if she would have had the same ca-
reer opportunities if it were not for
her SGP experience. -
"I thought it (lack of Greek af-
filiation) wouldn't matter if I put
Smy time in and became the most
qualified applicant," she said. "The
fact that my appointment became
a situation I actually had to deal
with showed me how strong the
machine was"

Gators fall short of national championship goal


* UF FINISHED FOURTH BE-
HIND TWO SEC TEAMS.

SBy BRIAN STEELE
Alligator Writer

It may not take 23 more years,
but it's going to take at least one
more.
After beginning the season
with championship hopes, the UF
women's swim team finished fourth
at the NCAA Championships this
past weekend. Georgia claimed the
crown from three-time defending
champion Auburn, who finished


second.
While the women have not won
an NCAA title in 23 years, there are
clearly bright skies in the program's
future. Of the 11 Gators named All-
Americans, seven will be back next
year. And of those seven under-
classmen, five are only freshmen or
sophomores.
Although that youth will certain-
ly serve its purpose in the future, it
does not necessarily provide the
results for now. Coach Gregg Troy
knew that facing more experienced
teams such as Auburn and Georgia
would be a challenge for his squad.
"Third or fourth was about as


good as we could have been in
the meet," Troy said. "We are re-
ally pleased; we had a great season.
There were a few spots where we
could have been
better, but if we
combine the
conference meet
with this one,
you can see all
the energy that
went into it. This
Weiman is probably the
best all-around
meet we've ever had."
Still, the Gators' efforts were
not unrewarded, as they turned in


several personal-best-record times
in various events. Not only did
sophomore Candace Weiman break
her own personal-best time in the
100-yard butterfly, she broke the UF
record that had stood for 17 years.
The record had been held by former
Olympian Dara Torres, a nine-time
medallist.
Weiman was not surprised to
beat Torres's record. It was her goal.
"The school record was [some--
thing I wanted to accomplish]. I just
kind of thought I had to break the re-
cord that night," Weiman said. "I've
set high expectations for myself. You
watch film and see what you do


wrong and you see others' talents."
The record may have been a
great personal accomplishment, but
it was unable to improve the Gators'
standing, as they finished fourth for
the second year in a row.
Though this may be a tre-
mendous accomplishment for a
mainly underclassmen-laden team,
Weiman knows that the Gators need
to do better.
"We've set a high precedent
for ourselves," Weiman said. "The
seniors were absolutely incredible;
they left some big shoes to fill. This
won't be good enough for next year.
We have a lot of work to do."


FOOTBALL

Meyer conducts competitive drills to challenge team


By IAN FISHER
Alligator Staff Writer
ifisher@alligator.org

Saturday marked UF's first spring practice
in pads and Coach Urban Meyer was quick to
let the hitting begin.
Not only did the players run some offense
vs. defense game-situation drills, but they also
did some one-on-one hitting.
The players all gathered in a circle, offense
on one side and defense on the other. Coaches
picked players and they faced off, trying to
wrestle the opponent to the ground.
"It's been called anywhere from the circle
of life to the at the other place I've been, it
has its own names the language involved
- I can't tell you exactly what it's called,"
Meyer said.
Running back DeShawn Wynn got flat-
tened by linebackers Brandon Siler and Todd
McCullough, and linebacker Brian Crum


squashed running back Skyler Thornton.
However, Meyer was satisfied with his
three running backs' play overall on Saturday.
Wynn, Thomton and redshirt freshman
Markus Manson all ran in the 21 game situa-
tions UF simulated.
Meyer set up situations within 12 yards
from the end zone and gave the offense either
one, two or three chances to score a touch-
down. If the offense scored in the set amount
of downs, they were awarded a point, and if
the defense stopped them, they received a
point.
Meyer kept track of the score, and with
the score tied at 10, quarterback Chris Leak
ran a naked bootleg to the left to win it for the
offense. Meyer said he will do these competi-
tions on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Meyer ran a few option plays, a couple
of end-arounds and a few shovel passes all
integral parts of his offense.
However, when one reporter suggested


how well the team was picking up the offense,
Meyer was quick to say the offense isn't good
yet.
"The way Coach is talking, the way
he motivates you, you think you
can go 12-0. And I think we will."
Chad Jackson
UF wide receiver


"That was awful," Meyer said. "If you
think that is good offense, then we have to
show you some tape on some good offense.
It's good effort; they tried hard, but no, it's not
good offense."

LOTS OF CONFIDENCE: After scoring four
touchdowns in game-situation drills on
Saturday, UF wide receiver Chad Jackson
predicted the Gators would do great things


in 2005. Great like not lose one game.
"The way Coach is talking, the way he mo-
tivates you, you think you can'go 12-0. And I
think we will," he said.
Meyer said he didn't know the players well
enough to be happy with that confidence. But
that wasn't the only prediction Jackson made.
"We have great receivers," Jackson said. "I
think we probably have the best receivers in
the country."
When told that Jackson said that, Meyer
didn't necessarily agree.
"That's a bold statement," Meyer said.
"Eighteen, 19, 20-year-olds make bold state-
ments. I can tell you about Chad Chad can
be a great one."

ETC.: Sophomore safety Tony Joiner sat out
Friday and Saturday's practices for personal
issues and redshirt freshman tight end Dane
Guthrie missed both with an ankle sprain.

In SEC opener, Gators drop first series of season


By TIi CASEY
Alligator Writer
tcasey@alligator.org

It was a weekend of firsts for the
UF baseball team.
The No. 6 Gators played away
from home for the first time and re-
turned to Gainesville last night with
their first series loss of the season.
Mississippi defeated UF 3-2 on
Sunday in Oxford, Miss., to win the
weekend series 2-1.
Mississippi won 10-4 on
Saturday after the Gators took the
Southeastern Conference opener 5-4


on Friday.
UF head coach Pat McMahon
accepts the losses but says that he
doesn't have to like it.
"Obviously, we're not pleased
with the outcomes," McMahon
said. "When you go out to compete,
you know there's going to be an
outcome.
"You have to accept that. We
don't have to.like the outcome."
Tommy Boss took his first loss
of the season, falling to 3-1. Boss
was perfect through the first three
innings on Sunday before allowing
a single to Mississippi second base-


man Cooper Osteen.
Rebels pitchers held the Gators
to five hits.
UF iigl t field-
er Brian L-oLl-rc
had two of those
hits in_ the loss
and a total of-six
in 12 at-bats dur-
ing the weekend
series.
Leclerc "For guys who
it's their first year,
they learned what SEC play is like,"
Leclerc said. "For us that have done
it before, we're not used to losing


two games in a weekend. We're a lot
better than we're playing."
The Gators (16-5, 1-2) can feel
good about not committing an er-
ror in the last two games, only the
second time all season they have
accomplished the feat.
More impressively, UF pitch-
ers held Mississippi All-American
Stephen Head hitless in four at-bats
on Sunday.
"Our pitching was good all
weekend," Leclerc said. "They kept
the runs low enough to give us a
chance to win."
Head almost single-handedly


defeated the Gators on Saturday.
Head (4-0) contributed on the
mound and in the batter's box-by
pitching eight innings, striking out
nine Gators-and hitting his seventh
home run of the season in a 3-for-4,
three-run, three-RBI performance.
SThe Gators won the series opener
on Friday on the strength of starting
pitcher Brian Ball. -,,
Ball (5-0) pitched 7.1 innings,
only allowing two earned runs and
not issuing a walk.
The Gators will host No. 22
Central Florida and former UF head
coach Jay Bergman on Tuesday


Keeping calm for conference

dtreat@alligator.org don't think about that kind of stuff.


Facing two unranked opponents in its final meet
of the regular season, the No. 6 UF gymnastics team
knew it would most likely be victorious. But that
wasn't the point.
Though the Gators (14-4, 5-1 Southeastern
Conference) did win with a season-high score of
197.20, far outpacing Pittsburgh (192.55) and Yale
(188.625), the meet served a greater purpose leading
up to this week's SEC Championships.
"This evening answered any questions we might
have had heading into SECs," Coach Rhonda Faehn
said. "We definitely accomplished our goals. I was
really pleased. They were very relaxed tonight.
That's the type of attitude we'd like them to carry
over the calm confidence headed into SECs."
The team earned the eighth-highest score in UF
history, and each of the four individual-event scores
were the second-highest the Gators have recorded
this season.
On a night where she was honored alongside her
fellow seniors, Erinn Dooley had the best night of her
season, which has been plagued by injuries. She took
home her second balance beam title of the year with
a 9.925 and finished third in her first appearance in
floor exercise.

Ashley Reed won her third all-around competi-

her personal best of 9.925 on vault to share that event
with Savannah Evans. Evans was a dual winner
Friday night, also matching Tiffany Murry's score for
the floor exercise crown with a 9.9.
Sophomore Breanne King won the first uneven
bars title of her career, turning in a 9.9 mark that
equaled her personal best.

King said. "It should be an interesting competition

Taurean Green said, his voice just
above a whisper. "It ended in a
bad way."
Walsh didn't know how to
react. After fouling out, he crept
to UF's bench, then slumped
into a chair. In seconds, Walsh
dissolved. His wistful expression
became one of tears buried in the
palms of his hands. -
"[I was thinking] that this
was the last time that I'm going
to be on the floor with David
[Lee] and maybe Peep," Walsh
said. "I love Peep, and I just told
him I hope this isn't the last time
that I'm playing with him."

weeping guard. But no player

too much. Hearing Villanova's
fans orchestrate Florida State's
war chant was even worse. Band

would have been.
"We were going to go to
Syracuse," Forbes said. "This
sucks."
All that was left Sunday was
a flight to Gainesville for players

Humphrey said.

Lee: '1 gave my heart and soul'

Lee continued to bear UF's
rebounding burden in the second
half, before gaining a collegiate
career-ending fifth foul with 3:09
remaining.

"I gave my heart and
soul today, like I have all
year. It sucks we came up
short, but I can hold my

cut the Villanova lead to 1 less than
two minutes after the half.

Same old story: UF out in tourney's first weekend


By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
bapp@alligator.org

NASHVILLE The chop
replaced the chomp. The mass
of Villanova fans prodded at the
deflated orange and blue faithful
with the intimately antagonizing
Seminole taunt.
And as the War Chant faded
into cheers of "We want UNC,"
junior guard Matt Walsh pulled his
trademark headband over his eyes,
shielding himself from the terrible
but familiar scene.
For all the talk of increased
physicality and defensive improve-
ment, for all the hype surrounding
UF after its first conference title in
school history, the Gators ended
their season Sunday in a familiar
fashion.
With a solid rebounding margin
and domination of scoring from the
paint, fifth-seeded Villanova defeat-
ed the cold-shooting Gators 76-65,
giving fourth-seeded UF an early
exit from the NCAA Tournament
for the fifth consecutive season.
"Plain and simple, we got domi-
nated," junior forward Adrian Moss
said. "No sugar coating, nothing.
I'm going to give it to you raw with
no chaser. We just got dominated.
They kicked our butts in every facet
of the game."
After a season in which the
Gators improved from the eleventh-
to the second-best rebounding team


in the Southeastern Conference,
Villanova outrebounded UF 44-34.
The Wildcats also outscored the
Gators 40-26 in the paint.
And in a manner unprecedented
during its .season-closing eight-
game winning streak that ended
Sunday, UF couldn't overcome a
poor shooting performance from its
key offensive players.
Junior guard Anthony Roberson
capped a season in which he led the
SEC in scoring
Men's Basketball with a 5-point,
UF 65 1-for-8-shoot-
Villanova 76 ing perfor-
mance.
And a week
after an SEC
Tournament MVP 25-point outing,
Walsh finished with 12 while shoot-
ing 4-for-13.
"I'm just so disappointed,"
Walsh said. "It's not something I
wanted to experience today. I love
these guys, and I really did think
we had a chance to do something
special." .
That chance seemed alive and
well js UF's Big Three seemed to
be chikin g early.
Senior forward David Lee awed
the UF crowd with a one-handed
slam off a sharp pass from Walsh.
Roberson followed up, hitting
a 3-pointer less than three minutes
into the first half after sinking a pair
of game-opening free throws.
But the SEC-leading scorer
continued his NCAA Tournament

shooting funk, missing his next
seven attempts after a three-for-15
first-round performance on Friday.
And shortly after a 13-1 Villanova
run, Coach Billy Donovan pulled
Roberson for nearly an 8-minute
half-ending bench stint.
"In this tournament, I didn't


play my best basketball," Roberson
said. "I had a big play in the first
round to help my team win. But I
wish I could've helped my team a
little more than I did."
In the absence of Walsh and
Roberson, who shot a combined 1-
for-5 in the first half, Lee mounted a


one-man reprisal.
Facing a 12-point deficit and an
abrupt end to his UF. career, Lee
scored 11 of his team-high 20 points
as the Gators scrapped back to trail
39-32 at halftime.
SEE GATORS, PAGE 19


Columnist says Gators deserve credit despite loss against Villanova


NASHVILLE
David Lee gave it his all, Anthony
Roberson gave little at all, and
the Gators are done playing bas-
ketball.
Just like that, it's over. One week ago,
the Gators stood on top of the, world, cut-
ting down nets and celebrating an improb-
able Southeastern Conference champion-
ship.
Call it the Madness of March, or flat-out
bad luck, but the Gators can't buy NCAA
Tournament success.
David Lee called it the easiest
Tournament loss to swallow. It wasn't a
fluke loss to Creighton, a manhandling by
Michigan State or a slaughtering by some
team from Manhattan.
Instead, the gods of seeding paired the
Gators with the dangerous and underrated
Villanova team.
It didn't hurt that Wildcats backup


center Jason Fraser played more like NBA
Hall-of-Famer Walt Frazier or boxing leg-
end Joe Frazier. If Fraser became Smokin'
Joe with his shocking 21-point, 15-rebound
performance, the Gators ended the night a
bloodied-up Muhammad Ali. The Thrilla
in Manila? More like a Tennessee Frenzy.
Still, give UF some credit. The Gators
made it interesting this year and brought
home an SEC championship at the expense
of hated Kentucky.
We even learned a few things on
Sunday:
1. After all of the crap laid on David Lee
in his four years at UF, the senior forward
was the only player that stepped up in an
otherwise hellish performance from UF's
star players.
If the rest of the team could have fed off
Lee's 20-point, 10-rebound performance,
the Gators would likely be heading to
Syracuse for a date with North Carolina.


Still, Lee may have
S just bought himself
a ticket to the first
round of the NBA
S., Draft. Quality NBA
teams generally draft
Andrew late in the first round,
Abramson and it's possible that
Drew's Control an already playoff-
aabramson@alligator.org bound team could call
on the college-tested
big man. How about David Lee subbing in
for Udonis Haslem on the Miami Heat?
2. The only thing NBA about Anthony
Roberson at this point is his socks. The ju-
nior, who wears socks with the NBA logo,
basically admitted he's out the door.
"If it is [my last season], there's nothing
I can really do," Roberson said. "Now it's
over, and I'm not going to hurt myself and
kill myself with how it ended."
Peep nobody's suggesting you take


drastic measures, but you may want to
stick around for a senior season and im-
prove your game.
Despite Roberson's disappointing
postseason capped off by a 5-point, 1-for-8
effort against Villanova, he led the SEC in
scoring and was runner-up for SEC Player
of the Year will he really raise his stock
by staying with UF?
If Roberson does indeed follow Lee to
the NBA Draft, how will the Gators re-
spond next year? Taurean Green can prob-
ably be a suitable point guard, and Corey
Brewer will become a true scoring threat.
But questions remain. Is Matt Walsh
capable of being the team's No. 1 op-
tion every night? Can a combo of Chris
Richard, Adrian Moss and Joakim Noah
replace-Lee?
I'm not saying this was UF's final
chance at a true run to the Final Four, but
enjoy the SEC championship.

MONDAY, MARCH 21,2005 Gators out of, NCAA tourney By LOUIS ANASTASIS Alligator Staff Writer lanastasis@alligator.org NASHVILLE -Somber was the mood. Silent were the fans. Wet were the tears. There is no manual for NCAA Tournament emotions. There is no formula for shunning the slap of an early Tournament exit. "This isn't a game," said junior forward Adrian Moss following his team's 76-65 loss to Villanova. "A game is something that children in a schoolyard play. You don't see grown men sprawled out on the ground crying after a game. Emotions got involved, and it hurts." UF smarted on Sunday .unlike other eliminated teams. Gator Nation thought the days of early Tournament pitfalls were over, or at least temporarily halted. But after averting Friday's Ohio scare, a familiar feeling returned. For the fifth consecutive season, the Gators packed their luggage during the Tournament's opening weekend. "It was like a blown opportunity," junior guard Matt Walsh said. "That's the worst feeling. The last two years, I don't know if we had a chance to win anything, but this year I felt like we did." In 2003, Walsh and the young Gators fell to Michigan State in the second round. Last season, a depleted and worn UF slipped to Manhattan. But this season, especially after winning the Southeastern Conference Tournament, the Gators that played like the 2000-2001 version were supposed to be back. Sunday, those hopes fizzled.

John concert postponed By EVA KIS Alligator Staff Writer ekis@alligator.org Instead of hoisting light rigs and arranging the makeshift floor section of seats to prepare the Stephen C. O'Cornell Center for a concert by Academy Awardwinning performer Elton John, staff and roadies spent Sunday breaking down a half-built stage and boxing up wires. At approximately 2:15 p.m., O'Connell Center Business Manager Renee Musson was contacted by representatives of the singer, who asked to postpone the event citing an unknown sickness. "He has been ill through a few of his other dates," Musson said. John showed up for both of his prior Florida shows Friday and Saturday. She said the concert will be rescheduled for an as-yet undetermined date. "We're still pending putting together our availabilities with his availabilities," Musson said. The more than 10,000 tickets sold for Sunday's show will be valid for any future date, she said, though refunds won't necessarily be provided. "There'll have to be some accommodations made," Musson JohI n said, citing graduating seniors as an example of ticketholders who may not be able to attend a makeup date. Representatives for John were not available for comment. He is scheduled to perform next in Dallas on Thursday. SGP also a 'legacy' affair By MEGAN SEERY Alligator Staff Writer mseery@alligator.org The most-funded Student Government organization has been in Greek control during much of the last 10 years. Former high-ranking officials of Student Goverment Productions, UF's entertainment bureau, say that historically, SG officials have used their authority to promote a "legacy" system -a form of nepotism in which students are awarded SG positions based on their organizational affiliations. Historically, important SG positions have been distributed by a "house and group system" involving Greek and other student organizations, according to a 1998 circuit court ruling. At least eight of the past 10 SGP chairpersons were fraternity members, and the last four chairmen hail from Theta Chi fraternity. Andrea Kaufman, who ran SGP from 1991 to 1992, was the last woman appointed to the position. Only two women headed SGP in the agency's more than 30-year history. Kaufman's appointment was the result of a dispute between two fraternities, she said. "The position was contested between two power groups," she said. "I was not going to get the position because I dic not belong to a fraternity or sorority." Kaufman and other students who worked at SGP for years but lacked Greek affiliation were discouraged from applying for the chair position, she Student said. Government "I was discouraged and told it probably wouldn't happen because someone would be placed in it," she said. "I know people in. the organization who thought they would not even be considered." Because the fratenities could not agree about who should lead SGP Kaufman was awarded the position, she said.

Lister spoke to the attendees about raising AIDS awareness. -"It was really powerful and very effective," Panhellenic Council President Ashley Gomberg said.

MONDAY, MARCH 21, 2005 A ALLIGATOR, 3 CITY ELECTION PROFILES Icumbent loyal to Gainesville Editor's note: This is the first in a series of four articles taking a closer look at candidates for the Gainesville City Commission At-Large seat. By IVETTE MENDEZ Alligator Writer imendez@alligator.org Trying to contact Rick Bryant during Gator games is pointless. Any efforts will be met with answering machines and voicemail. The time he spends at both men's and women's sporting events is special to the incumbent At-Large commissioner because that's the time he spends with his three kids and wife of 20 years. The Gainesville native and lifelong resident, who earned a bachelor's degree in history and a master's in political science from UF, believes his local flair and know-how give him an edge against the other three candidates. "I believe I'm the only one in my race who grew up here," Bryant said. Bryant's involvement with UF continues with his position on the Graduate and Professional School Admissions Board at the Office of the Registrar, and his longstanding history with Gainesville makes him well-versed in the city's past. "I've lived here since 1971," he said. "I've kind of seen how Gainesville has grown and changed." Bryant refers to his first term as commissioner as graduate school and says winning the upcoming election would be akin to working on his second degree. With only 18 months in office under his belt, the incumbent is running for re-election because he wants more time to finish the projects he began. "For the first year, you're learning how Gainesville works," Bryant said. "You work your butt off." Bryant said his competition does not realize how hard it is to make ideas a reality due to the fact that when sitting on the commission, other commissioners have different ideas and agendas from your own. "They think they are going to change everything in a three-year term," he said. In such a short term, Bryant admitted he was not able to accomplish everything but focused on making recreation more available to residents and teaming with Teen Zone and Action Network to bring federally funded, structured afterschool programs to area public schools that provide kids with activities until their parents get home at 6 p.m. "I still want to continue to work on the issues that led me to run the first time." Rick Bryant Incumbent at-large City Commissioner The rate of juvenile crime in middle schools is double that of high schools because middle schoolers have fewer structured programs, Bryant said, noting that there are now 500 kids enrolled who would otherwise be out on the street. "That's called making a difference," Bryant said. "I still want to continue to work on the issues that led me to run the first time," Bryant added, crediting his dedication to the public school system to his kids, with whom he's spent hours watching "Star Wars," now one of his favorite films. "All three of my kids love 'Star Wars,"' he said. "We can bond." Bryant's vested interests in Gainesville, such as his coownership of Godfather's Pizza, prompt him to find ways to encourage residents who have grown up in Gainesville to stay here. "A lot of people feel obligated to go," Bryant said. "There are just not that many jobs." Bryant added that many residents feel the job opportunities in Gainesville are not adequate and look to Orlando or Tampa. He has worked to bring entry-level jobs to serve the whole community instead of relying on UF as the main source of jobs for the city, noting that entry-level as well as biotech jobs are necessary to give people of all skill levels the opportunities they seek locally. Bryant's desire to improve the quality of life for all residents, especially by developing the east side of Gainesville, is what he said first encouraged him to run. Teams of UF sororities and fraternities battle in the Ultimate Dodgeball Tournament on Saturday. Funds raised will benefit spinal muscular atrophy and Court Appointed Special Advocates. Jeff Sirmons / Alligator Incumbent Rick Bryant is one of four candidates for the City Commission At-Large seat. Bryant said he does not like the large development gap between East and West Gainesville, which continues to grow, he said, adding that the development of stronger, safer neighborhoods is crucial to the city's future. But Bryant wants to be famous for something other than his accomplishments as city commissioner -playing basketball, if he has time outside his job and family. by KTLIE RAIU Alligator Writer kcraig@alligator.org More than 400 members of UF's Greek community battled it out Saturday at Phi Delta Theta Fraternity and Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority's annual dodgeball tournament. The philanthropy made more than $5,000 for spinal muscular atrophy and Court Appointed Special Advocates. Forty-two teams competed in the tournament, which lasted more than four hours. Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity member Ben Branoff helped his team defeat Lamda Chi Alpha Fraternity in one of the first rounds of play. "We're kicking ass and taking names," Branoff said, adding how excited he was to beat the other fraternities. April Palmer, who helped organize the event along with Blake Taelman, Chase Deuschle and Katie Lenyo, said players were becoming very intense by the championship game. "They were 'definitely hardcore," Palmer said. "They really wanted to win.", It came down to two teams from Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity that played with Delta Delta Delta and Alpha Omicron Pi sororities. Sigma Phi Epsilon Team One and Delta Delta Delta won the championship game, taking home dodgeball trophies. Kappa Alpha Theta member Corinne Crollard played in the tournament and helped coach Lambda Chi Alpha's team. "It's amazing. I haven't played dodgeball since I was in elementary school," she said. "It is so much fun." The Greek organizations participating raised money during the. week through penny voting, attendance fees and T-shirt sales. There was also an opening event Friday at the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority house, where money was collected and a band played for the students. "It's been stressful, but it's been well worth it because it's for such a good cause. Dodgeball is just one of those games where even if you get beat, you still end up having so much fun." April Palmer Event co-organizer Delta Gamma Sorority and Sigma Pi Fraternity won the overall. participation award and the UF water polo team won the sportsmanship award. A UF construction team also participated. e Palmer said although the event took a lot of work to put together, it greatly surpassed her expectations. "It's been stressful, but it's been well worth it because it's for such a good cause," she said. "Dodgeball is just one of those games where even if you get beat, you still end up having so much fun." Cha%-Prities get the sosasGreeks, NOr dodgFeballsw

4, ALLIGATORS MONDAY, MARCH 21, 2005 Jury finds Hudson guilty Third trial ends in 'compromise By MEGAN V. WINSLOW Alligator Writer mwinsow@aIligator.org After two previous mistrials and 16 hours of deliberation last week, Willie James Hudson was found guilty of two counts of'manslaughter Friday, marking an end to four months of uncertainty. "We're very pleased with the conviction, although it wasn't exactly what we had hoped for," State. Attorney's Office spokesman Spencer Mann said Friday evening. "But considering the tough road we've had to travel through three trials, we're very satisfied with the decision the jury has returned." In December and February, two separate juries were unable to reach a verdict in the double-murder case involving the shooting deaths of Gainesville resident John Adkins, 28, and -Kevin Harris, 29. Round three of the trial began Tuesday and concluded Thursday morning, when the jury first began deliberating. Both the state and the defense said they were surprised by the verdict. Hudson, 30, was tried on two counts of first-degree murder for the July 2003 shootings. According to the prosecution, Adkins borrowed Hudson's car to complete a drug transaction with Harris, for which Hudson would be in the backseat, hoping to rob Harris of approximately $8,000. When Harris fought back, however, the ensuing struggle lead to Hudson shooting him three times, prosecuting attorney Geoffrey Fleck said. A stray bullet hit Adkins, the driver, in the back of the head, and the car rammed into Gainesville City Commissioner Craig Lowe's front porch. Considering two previous juries struggled with reaching a verdict -they deliberated for 11 and 7 hours respectively -defense attorney Stephen Bernstein said he felt the jury settled on manslaughter. "It catches me off-Local, guard becauseto me, it's Courts clearly a compromise," Bernstein said after court adjourned. "You know, we've had two verdicts that were split, and I think this jury was probably heading there and they said, 'Well, we'll just compromise,' because no one argued for manslaughter -neither side thought thatwas a viable option or a credible option." Punishment for a third charge against Hudson, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, is to be decided by presiding Judge Mary Day Coker, as Hudson's criminal history was not divulged before the jury. Under Florida statute, Hudson could receive a minimum of 18 years and ,as much as life in prison. Sentencing is scheduled to take place next week. SG, GAU protest exclusion By JEFF SIRMONS Alligator Writer jsirmons@allmgator.org UF students involved with Graduate Assistants United will protest today alongside members of Student Government about a $50 fee SG officials feel is "discriminatory against international students." International students feel the fee adds to already-ligh tuition costs and argue that other Florida universities have waived the fee for their foreign students. Both SG and GAU requested to speak with the UF Board of Trustees during the 15minute public comment session contained in each meeting, but both were declined. Since international affairs is not on the Board of Trustees' agenda, and because GAU recently petitioned the Board of Governors, which oversees all. state university boards, to give an opinion on international-student fees, the UF trustees decided not to allow either group to speak, according to Student Senator Robin Collins. "'They should not be able to censor a student's right to speak in the interest of students," Collins said. Jamal Sowell, Student Body president and the only student on the Board of Trustees, said he worked with both GAU and SG to ensure their voices would be heard, adding that he made sure the groups sent their requests before deadline. "I've never seen anyone get denied," Sowell said. "I guess there's something legally binding them from speaking, but we'll find that out [today]." "It's not even about the extra expense. Now, it's about whether students have the right to speak with the Board of Trustees." Todd Reynolds GAU co-president The Student Senate passed a resolution Nov. 30 specifically designed for discussion at the Board of Trustees meeting, and Sowell said he e-mailed it to each trustee. Sowell said he would appear at the protest, which takes place outside Emerson Hall at 12:15 p.m. Board of Trustees committee meetings start there at 1-p.m. GAU Co-President Todd Reynolds said the protest is designed to convince the Board of Trustees to allow either GAU or SG to speak during the public comment period. Members from.both groups will chant and hold signs during the meeting if necessary to try to get their voices heard. "It's not even about the extra expense," Reynolds said. "Now, it's about whether students have the right to speak with the Board of Trustees." Local leaders neet to discuss disparities in health care N AT ISSUE IS ACCESS TO CARE BY INDIGENT LOCALS.

More than 150 people gathered to discuss the benefits of coverage and the disparity in access to quality care between socioeconomic groups. "We think every criminalhas the constitutional right to a lawyer, but we don't think that a sick baby has the right to a doctor," former U.S. Surgeon General and keynote speaker Joycelyn Elders said.

Elders said that, while patients need to fight for the right to health care, doctors should politic as well. "Doctors could bring down this health care system in a week if they wanted to," she said. Alachua County' Commissioner Cynthia Chestnut attended the event to speak about the public health care program approved by Alachua County voters in November called CHOICES. The program, which provides primary health care services to those working uninsured, is funded through a quarter-cent sales tax that will raise $49 million over seven years. The meeting was sponsored by the Avery Institute for Social Change, a Elder New York-based non-profit organization that works to raise awareness of the lack of minority access to the medical system. Thirty-eight local groups co-sponsored the event, including eight UF organizations. Randy Kammer from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida insurance presented an alternate view. "If this were utopia, free unlimited health care would be possible," she said, but added that the costs of such a system aren't feasible. She cited Western European countries that have widespread public access to health care. There is still a class divide in those countries because people who can afford it opt for private health insurance, which provides better care, she said. tte~ irni p edes ieaidh alligatoECr WE I ORMYOU DECIDE Childrefs DM24 8 16 FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS Celebrating 11 Years at the UF 34th St & Univ.

MONDAY, MARCH 21, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 5 Leadership is not found in promises Joined this party because it truly believes in the principles of democracy and student input. I was proud to join a party that allowed its volunteers to choose its presidential candidate and party name. I am proud that we created the online-voting ballot initiative, and, as Student Body president, I would continue to promote that issue. I am committed to online voting because I believe that it can change a lot about Student Government. When a majority of students are voting, then SG officials must listen to all students equally. We can end the cycle of favoritism and single-constituency pandering that has consumed SG in the past. This can happen if we elect leaders who believe that bringing SG to all students is more than a campaign slogan. I have worked for the last year to do this, and progress has been made. However, the return of the old guard in SG has seen the return of many of their Dennis Ngin old tactics. Speaking Out I am sure many of you have been as disgusted as me by the charges of bribery and threats issued to students. I believe students and organizational leaders should not have to fear cuts to their budgets or refusal of special requests as a result of not wearing the right color T-shirt during March. All students want change, but change requires action. Students. must not be discouraged from the polls. They should view this corruption as a call to arms. It should be one of the reasons you choose to vote for Impact. Students also should vote for Impact because I have a proven record of achievement. There is more to leadership than holding a position or sitting on a committee. Leadership is about actively making a difference in the life of the average student. During the past year, I authored the first resolution in the state of Florida opposing block tuition. This resolution went on to uaify all of the state universities through the Florida Students Association. I was the only SG official to oppose the Board of Trustees and fight against the rise in Activity & Service fees. I did not just place this issue on my platform -I spent a semester developing a planto keep tuition low and mitigate cuts to student organization budgets. For several years, students at the Medical Center have been promised a gym to meet the demands of their schedules. I moved forward and took the initiative to accomplish this task. I did not simply talk about making a difference -I turned my ideas into action. This is the pivotal difference between my opponent and myself. Th-e Impact Party strongly believes in open, honest and effective Stident Government. I have chosen a ticket of the most-qualified student leaders on campus. We wish to make a difference for all Students. Dennis Ngin is the presidential candidatefor the Imipact Party. ViewA~points Vote for the person as well 'd like to thank the thousands of students who came out last week to support the Gator Party and myself. While it has been a long campaign season, one more week of hard work is a small price to pay to ensure an effective Student Government for the next year. We are going into the last three days of this campaign excited and energized, ready to show even more students that the Gator Party has what it takes to improve life at UF If you came out and voted for the Gator Party last week, I thank you for your vote and ask you to come out one more time. If you did not vote, or chose one of the other parties, I-only ask that you give me the chance to tell you more about myself and some of the life experiences that I would bring to the office of Student Body president.

6, ALLIGATOR N MONDAY, MARCH 21, 2005 Runoff roundup With Progress out of the equation, Impact is best T his decision wasn't quite as hard as the last one. Everyone on the Alligator editorial board agrees Joe Goldberg is the most experienced and qualified candidate in the election. Everyone agrees that he is the most likely to be able to push forward the legislation he supports. However, everyone also agrees that his interests do not coincide with those of the student body. More importantly, we cannot in good faith endorse a candidate we believe has consistently proven that he and his party will resort to any means necessary to secure victory -regardless of moral considerations. Because of these factors, as well as an objective look at the qualifications of each individual candidate, the Alligator endorses the Impact Party in the SG runoff elections. But don't take the sentiments above to mean we endorse Impact soley because they aren't Gator: Impact has,.overall, the more-impressive executive slate. While Goldberg takes the nod for president, Impact's vice presidential candidate Robert Mack and treasurer candidate Michelle Lightbourne are more promising than Gator's Joyce Medina and Lindsay Cosimi. Mack is the most compelling candidate for vice president from any party, including Progress. His experience as lobby coordinator has prepared hin for the give-and-take that is required for change in SG -especially considering the division of power in the Student Senate between the Access senators and the largely-Gator new senators. The positions Mack has held, including Student Senate parliamentarian, do not directly translate into success in the vice president's primary duty of overseeing the SG cabinets, but he has demonstrated the most enthusiasm and the most detailed ideas for improvement in SG. Lightbourne, despite being a fill-in for former treasurer candidate Elda Auxiliaire, has experience more relevant to the job and a more clearly defined sense of what she must accomplish than Cosini. Between overseeing a $62,000 budget as president of Benton Engineering Council and working with constituents' financial concerns as a Student Senator, she has dealt with the allocation of SG funds on a line-by-line basis. Cosini, on the other hand, primarily has been connected to SG financial matters through serving on a number of fee and funding committees. Whether or not she is capable of dealing with the day-to-day working of budgets has not been seen. Furthermore, Impact's goalsfit better with the students' needs. The easy example of this is online voting: Impact spearheaded the movement to get the initiative on the ballot whereas Gator's waffling on the issue has been well documented. While the promises that come most frequently out of the mouths of the Gator candidates tend to be free towels at campus gyms and a staunch opposition to a mythical "dry campus," Impact has l ept its focus on student representation and a number of pragmatic student issues -such as moving toward a totally wireless campus, the breaking of legacy positions in SG and a reduction in Activity & Service Fee increases. With the Progress Party's loss in the initial elections, the opporturnity for change in SG took a hard blow. But there still is a chance that hope for the future could be kept alive. The Impact Party likely would serve much as the Access Party has: Impact's members may not follow through on all of their promises for student access, but they would further the cause in some way. A future with the Gator Party in control of SG, on the other hand, would be nothing but a step backward. The advances toward increased representation in SG made during the past year may be small, but they are real. If the students do not elect a party that will continue these advances, as we believe the Impact Party would, SG will devolve completely back to the elite-dominated system it historically has been. the independent florida Dwayne Robinson Matt Sanctez EDITOR OPINIONS EDITOR Mike Gimignani Lauren Flanagan MANAGING EDITOR Diana Middleton craig Singleton EDITORIAL BOARD The Alligator encourages comments from readers.

Opinions &ta~ iet ll U i 11. Column Terrible cases Pierce political apathy -n a way, this week was like any other. There was war, but nobody paid much attention. A hero -Mark McGwire -fell, and nobody seemed too surprised. But there were a couple stories that broke through our shield of collective cynicism and dispassion, if only for a moment. One is the case of Terri Schiavo. Schiavo, who is in a vegetative state due to effects of an eating disorder, now is dying a slow death because doctors removed her feeding tube. This is sick irony and another example that God may have a dark and twisted sense of humor. It also is sadly ironic that such a shy person is involved in such a publicized political battle. But now that it has become such a battle, Democrats have managed to take up the wrong side again. According to ABC News, a bill aimed at prolonging Shiavo's life was delayed Sunday when House Democrats in Washington blocked a voice vote. Democrats should not kid themselves -there will be political repercussions if they continue to fight for Terri's death. This is a gut issue. It just doesn't seem right that a woman can dehydrate and die against the wishes of her family. It just doesn't seem right that her husband, Michael Shiavo, could sue and win a-$1 million-plus settlement to take care of her for the rest of her life and then claim a few years later that she had told him she didn't want life support if it became necessary. And the Democrats just don't seem right for taking the side of death instead of life. But the sadness of the whole Shiavo debacle pales in comparison to the Jessica Lunsford story that reached its horrific conclusion Friday. The body of the 9-year-old Florida girl, who has been missing since February, was found near a mobile home in which a sex offender was living at the time of the girl's disappearance. Jason Levitt The Watchtower A man with more than two dozen arrests, including burglary and fondling a child under age 16, admitted to killing Jessica. According to MSNBC, "she had been last seen in bed after attending church. She was discovered missing the next morning, letters@attgator.org with the door unlocked and her stuffed animal gone. The clothes she had laid out for school were still in place, and her shoes weren't missing." In 1978, this same monster was accused of grabbing a girl in her bedroom, placing his hand over her mouth and kissing her, Citrus County Sheriff Jeff Dawsy said. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, but he only served two. Two. Unbelievable. It is amazing what unimaginable horror can cut through our day-to-day reality like a knife -how random, terrible things can happen to the most beautiful and innocent among us. I know it is pass to feel anything in this age of cynicism, but both the Shiavo and Lunsford stories have given me a feeling like I am looking into a well -an impenetrable darkness surrounded by cold and unforgiving stones. If there isa point to politics, and indeed to life, it is to protect the weakest among us from this abyss. If it takes the president to intervene on Terri Shiavo's behalf, fine. If it takes tattooing the foreheads -of these child-rapist scum with a large R, fine. These cases beg for solutions, not lawyers, legal wrangling and talk of civil rights for heinous, evil criminals.

Ngin and Impact offer student access Editor: As'one who has run for Student Senate with the underdog party two years in a row and lost and was a cabinet director until I illegitimately was extradited from Student Government, I am not surprised at the outcome of the election. But proper due must go to the rightful heir to the Access presidential throne, Denis Ngin, for his hard work and the integrity he has shown this past year. I have seen firsthand how Ngin has refused to make deals, walking away from Jamal Sowell's selling out to the Greeks (exactly one Student Senate seat given to every fraternity on campus) atid insisting "all qualified students will be given positions in SG." Ngin truly is more the legitimate "underdog-populist" candidate. The students should have faith that Ngin will not promise away anything to the Greeks, as he already has displayed his integrity by choosing a Greek running mate, Robert Mack, who I will tell you from personal experience is not a stereotypical Greek. Mack worked extremely hard with me as student advocacy director to lobby successfully against a Gainesville Towing Advisory Board request to raise city towing rates to $90, and he is displaying immense courage by running with the "non-Greek" Impact Party. Perhaps Ngin hasn't been in the limelight so much precisely because he has carefully stepped away from the "glamorous corruption" in SG that the Alligator loves to go after. But now is the time to focus on Ngin. Perhaps Progress supporters will realize Dennis is no bad guy and that he deserves their volunteerism for the runoff. Greek students and non, those who truly wanted access for all students from Sowell, should not hesitate to vote for Ngin in this year's executive runoff. All students should support Dennis Ngin for Student Body president. Peter David Gruskin 3LS All should rally against the Gator Party Editor: It is time for everyone -Progress supporters, Impact supporters and students who didn't vote this time -to pu differences and come together t greater evil: The Gator Party.

Had we received any, we gladly would have printed them in addition to these pro-Impact Party letters. As we did not, however, it obviously was impossible for us to do so.

8, ALLIGATOR U MONDAY, MARCH 21,2005 By BRIDGET CAREY Alligator Staff Writer bcarey@alligator.org Since January, the Impact and Gator parties have debated platforms and slung mud at each other, but their political skirmishes boil down to this week as both go headto-head in an executive-ticket runoff Student Government election this Tuesday and Wednesday. The swings the parties have taken at each other involve online voting, an alcohol-free campus and dealings with UF administration. The Gator Party made 14 promises on their platform, and Impact listed 31 promises and defined those that are shortand long-term goals. Online Voting The Impact Party was the driving force in creating the petition to get the issue of online voting for future SG elections on the ballot. Although the petition -which garnered enough signatures -was blocked from appearing on the ballot by the SG Supreme Court, Impact's presidential candidate Dennis Ngin promises that if elected, online voting would be put into effect, so students can vote for future SG leaders in the comfort of their own home using GatorLink identification. Ngin said he has more passion than Gator to make online voting a reality. "We have people who are seriously com mitted to having this happen in the future," he said. Joe Goldberg, Ngin Gator presidential candidate, said his party is in favor of the idea of the online initiative. "I think that we're right around the corner from implementing online voting," Goldberg said. In previous debates, Goldberg has said he was not convinced about the security, but he now is more optimistic of the situation. "I think that we've done a lot of research on it," Goldberg said, noting that the committees who have already done research have shown the program is "safe and secure." He later added that, perhaps, another task force inquiry is needed before SG can seal the issue. The "dry campus" debate UF's administration has not taken an official stance toward alcohol on campus, but it has said it's deliberating over how to handle what the university feels is a drinking problem with UF students. Goldberg said the administration has taken actions that are hostile to drinking on campus. For example, administration has banned beer sponsorships at an oncampus Rascal Flatts concert. And, Goldberg adds, UF officials are not smiling upon his corunittee seeking to extend the time that city bars can keep their doors open. The Gator Party promises to fight against the possibility of an alcoholfree campus. "It's something the students have said they want," Goldberg said about extending bar closing times, noting that he would speak tip for what students want. "At the end of the day, students always come first," he added. Ngin sees the alcohol question Goldberg differently. "It's not an issue yet," Ngin said about Gator's push against a dry campus. "I think it's a fabricated issue." Ngin said what Goldberg overlooks is better advertisement for safe entertainment options for students. "Making a platform issue so staunchly against a dry campus shows his inability to work with administration" because it's assuming administration wants a dry campus, Ngin added. Administrative oversight In a recent battle stemming from a pudding wrestling match involving UF women'srugby, Impact's Ngin sided with a UF administration rule that required its approval of all fundraisers. for student organizations. Ngin said previously that although having students go through more red tape is an unfortunate hindrance, the new approval process would help organizations avoid potential fundraising problems by unknowingly breaking rules. "If it becomes a burden on the student, then of course I'll be against it," Ngin said. Goldberg said if he were in Ngin's position, he would not have sided with the administration. "We have to have a little more faith in our students," Goldberg said. From his experience with clubsport members, Goldberg said that they are "very disappointed in this." .forbidden sod all-ronsumind passions." -Chicago Sun-Times P-RO Pl s BY NiLO CRUZ -The poetry of yearning, the artistry o f seduction.

By MEGAN SEERY Alligator Staff Writer mseery@alligator.org Despite a 1998 circuit court ruling that found Greek houses were employed to control Student Government offices and subsequent denials of deal-making, fraternities continue to dominate Student Government Productions appointments. Attempts to buck the trend were hindered last summer in a partisan dispute between loyalists of the Greek-backed Innovate and Ignite parties and those within the Access Party. At least eight of the past 10 SGP chairpersons have been fraternity members, and the past four have been members of Theta Chi Fraternity. Student Body President Jamal Sowell caused a controversy in June 2004 when he recommended Will Sexton, who had no SGP experience or Greek affliation, as the agency's next chairman. But the Student Senate, along with then-Senate President Joe Goldberg, denied Sexton's appointment and later voted in Theta Chi Fraternity member Jeff Yeatman as SGP chairman. Murmurs within SG speculated that Goldberg, Gator Party presidential candidate, used his authority as Senate president to manipulate procedure and ignore those who supported Sexton, ensuring that his appointment would be blocked. While he Student stands behind Govern ent Y e a t m a n Goldberg said he could havethandled Senate matters better on the Senate floor. "It was a divided Senate with a lot of emotions," he said. "I should have been more open to the senators who were there." Yeatman, who held the SGP productions chairman position the previous year, said both he and Sexton were well-qualified. "I never made any political moves," Yeatman said. "My experience in SGP is what got me the job." Most chairmen from fraternities S GP,from page 1 told I could be a chair. if I put the other two in vice chair positions." Kaufman's vice chairmen could not be reached for comment. The Student Body president at the time, Dean Cannon, who appointed Kaufman, did not return phone calls. But Kaufman was not the only student to learn about Greek favoritism when starting an SGP career. "I joined Delta Cli (Fraternity) as a sophomore partially because I knew there would be no hope of chairmanship unless I was Greek," said -former SGP chairman Jeff I Safran, who was appointed in 1996.: "It always went to someone who was Greek, so they could slice that i up in the overall scheme of SG." The "legacy" system was unique within SGP because it didn't matter which Greek organization a chairperson was in, as long as he or she belonged to one, he said. "It's all kinds of negotiations behind closed doors," Safran said, adding that a "legacy" system that promoted connections over merit hurt SGP's reputation as a top booking agency in the 1990s. After Safran's term ended, SG officials appointed Michael Cabon, a fraternity member with minimal SGP experience, to lead the agency. His term ended amid accusations of overpaying for venues and artists, a decrease in the number of shows and an investigation by the Senate Rules and Ethics Committee. Caborn could not be reached for comment. Jeff Sheinkopf, Caborn's successor who did not have Greek affliations, also confirmed a "legacy" system existed within the SG bureau. But Jeremy Martin, the current administrative vice president for the Interfraternity Council, said using the Greek system for "legacy" appointments has faded into a practice of the past. "I've heard of it happening some time ago," he said, "but I've not actually seen it practiced since I've been involved." SG officials hire students for their qualifications, and many qualified individuals happen to be Greek due to the leadership training and mentorship network they have, he said. "Students get positions because of who they are and what they can bring to an organization," he said, "not just because Greek letters come after their names." Working for SGP can be a valuable experience for students who want to break into the competitive entertainment industry. Several former SGP chairpersons have become big names. Raul Mateu, chairman from 1990 to 1991, is a senior vice president at the William Morris Agency, a leading talent firm, and Ron Opaleski, chair from 1995 to 1996, is a top agent in the entertainment industry. Kaufman said she became involved with the agency her freshman year because she thought the experience would help her become a concert promoter. But Kaufman, who was offered a job with Cellar Door Concerts right out of college, said she wasn't sure if she would have had the same career opportunities if it were not for her SGP experience. "I thought it (lack of Greek affiliation) wouldn't matter if I put my time in and became the most qualified applicant," she said. "The fact that my appointment became a situation I actually had to deal with showed me how strong the machine was."J r NAME I 114 rnui,4r-I

18, ALLIGATOR 1 MONDAY, MARCH 21, 2005 Gators fall short of national championship goal UF FINISHED FOURTH BEHIND TWO SEC TEAMS. By BRIAN STEELE Alligator Writer It may not take 23 more years, but it's going to take at least one more. After beginning the season with championship hopes, the UF womtyn's swim team finished fourth at the NCAA Championships this past weekend. Georgia claimed the crown from three-time defending champion Auburn, who finished second. While the women have not won an NCAA title in 23 years, there are clearly bright skies in the program's future. Of the 11 Gators named AllAmericans, seven will be back next year. And of those seven underclassmen, five are only freshmen or sophomores. Although that youth will certainly serve its purpose in the future, it does not necessarily provide the results for now. Coach Gregg Troy knew that facing more experienced teams such as Auburn and Georgia would be a challenge for his squad. "Third or fourth was about as good as we could have been in the meet," Troy said. "We are really pleased; we had a great season. There were a few spots where we could have been better, but if we combine the conference meet with this one, you can see all the energy that went into it. This Weiman is probably the best all-around meet we've ever had." Still, the Gators' efforts were not unrewarded, as they turned in several personal-best-record times in various events. Not only did sophomore Candace Weiman break her own personal-best time in the 100-yard butterfly, she broke the UF record that had stood for 17 years. The record had been held by former Olympian Dara Torres, a nine-time medallist. Weiman was not surprised to beat Torres's record. It was her goal. "The school record was [something I wanted to accomplish]. I just kind of thought I had to break the record that night," Weiman said. "I've set high expectations for myself. You watch film and see what you do wrong and you see others' talents." The record may have been a great personal accomplishment, but it was unable to improve the Gators' standing, as they finished fourth for the second year in a row. Though this may be a tremendous accomplishment for a mainly underclassmen-laden team, Weiman knows that the Gators need to do better. "We've set a high precedent for ourselves," Weiman said. "The seniors were absolutely incredible; they left some big shoes to fill. This won't be good enough for next year. We have a lot of work to do." FOOTBALL Meyer conducts co petitive drills to challenge team By IAN FISHER Alligator Staff Writer ifisher@aIligator.org Saturday marked UF's first spring practice in pads and Coach Urban Meyer was quick to let the hitting begin. Not only did the players run some offense vs. defense game-situation drills, but they also did some one-on-one hitting. The players all gathered in a circle, offense on one side and defense on the other. Coaches picked players and they faced off, trying to wrestle the opponent to the ground. "It's been called anywhere from the circle of life to the -at the other place I've been, it has its own names -the language involved -I can't tell you exactly what it's called," Meyer said. Running back DeShawn Wynn got flattened by linebackers Brandon Siler and Todd McCullough, and linebacker Brian Crum squashed running back Skyler Thornton. However, Meyer was satisfied with his three running backs' play overall on Saturday. Wynn, Thornton and redshirt freshman Markus Manson all ran in the 21 game situations UF simulated. Meyer set up situations within 12 yards from the end zone and gave the offense either one, two or three chances to score a touchdown. If the offense scored in the set amount of downs, they were awarded a point, and if the defense stopped them, they received a point. Meyer kept track of the score, and with the score tied at 10, quarterback Chris Leak ran a naked bootleg to the left to win it for the offense. Meyer said he will do these competitions on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Meyer ran a few option plays, a couple of end-arounds and a few shovel passes -all integral parts of his offense. However, when one reporter suggested how well the team was picking up the offense, Meyer was quick to say the offense isn't good yet. "The way Coach is talking, the way he motivates you, you think you can go 12-0. And I think we will." Chad Jackson UF wide receiver "That was awful," Meyer said. "If you think that is good offense, then we have to show you some tape on some good offense. It's good effort; they tried hard, but no, it's not good offense." LOTS OF CONFIDENCE: After scoring four touchdowns in game-situation drills on Saturday, UF wide receiver Chad Jackson predicted the Gators would do great things in 2005. Great like not lose one game. "The way Coach is talking, the way he motivates you, you think you can go 12-0. And I think we will," he said. Meyer said he didn't know the players well enough to be happy with that confidence. But that wasn't the only prediction Jackson made. "We have great receivers," Jackson said. "I think we probably have the best receivers in the country." When told that Jackson said that, Meyer didn't necessarily agree. "That's a bold statement," Meyer said. "Eighteen, 19, 20-year-olds make bold statements. I can tell you about Chad -Chad can be a great one." ETC.: Sophomore safety Tony Joiner sat out Friday and Saturday's practices for personal issues and redshirt freshman tight end Dane Guthrie missed both with an ankle sprain.

MONDAY, MARCH 21, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 19 n 'EC opener, Gators drop first series of season By TIM,1 CASEY Alligator Writer tcasey@alligator.org It was a weekend of firsts for the UF baseball team. The No. 6 Gators played away from home for the first time and returned to Gainesville last night with their first series loss of the season. Mississippi defeated UF 3-2 on Sunday in Oxford, Miss., to win the weekend series 2-1. Mississippi won 10-4 on Saturday after the Gators took the Southeastern Conference opener 5-4 on Friday. UF head coach Pat McMahon accepts the losses but says that he doesn't have to like it. "Obviously, we're not pleased with the outcomes," McMahon said. "When you go out to compete, you know there's going to be an outcome. "You have to accept that. We don't have to like the outcome." Tommy Boss took his first loss of the season, falling to 3-1. Boss was perfect through the first three innings on Sunday before allowing a single to Mississippi second baseman Cooper Osteen. Rebels pitchers held the Gators to five hits. UF right fielder Brian Leclerc I had two of those hits in the loss and a total of six in12 at-bats during the weekend series. Leclerc "For guys who it's their first year, they learned what SEC play is like," Leclerc said. "For us that have done it before, we're not used to losing two games in a weekend. We're a lot better than we're playing." The Gators (16-5, 1-2) can feel good about not committing an error in the last two games, only the second time all season they have accomplished the feat. -More impressively, UF pitchers held Mississippi All-American Stephen Head hitless in four at-bats on Sunday. "Our pitching was good all weekend," Leclerc said. "They kept the runs low enough to give us a chance to win." Head almost single-handedly defeated the Gators on Saturday. Head (4-0) contributed on the mound and in the batter's bo-by pitching eight innings, striking out nine Gators-and hitting his seventh home rmn of the season in a 3-for-4, three-run, three-RBI performance. The Gators won the series opener on Friday on the strength of starting pitcher Brian Ball. Ball (5-0) pitched 7.1 innings, only allowing two earned runs and not issuing a walk. The Gators will host No. 22 Central Florida and former UF head coach Jay Bergman on Tuesday. Keeping calm for conference By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer dtreat@alligator.org Facing two unranked opponents in its final meet of the regular season, the No. 6 UF gymnastics team knew it would most likely be victorious. But that wasn't the point. Though the Gators (14-4, 5-1 Southeastern Conference) did win with a season-high score of 197.20, far outpacing Pittsburgh (192.55) and Yale (188.625), the meet served a greater purpose leading up to this week's SEC Championships. "This evening answered any questions we might have had heading into SECs," Coach Rhonda Faehn said. "We definitely accomplished our goals. I was really pleased. They were very relaxed tonight. That's the type of attitude we'd like them to carry over -the calm confidence -headed into SECs." The team earned the eighth-highest score in UF history, and each of the four individual-event scores were the second-highest the Gators have recorded this season. On a night where she was honored alongside her fellow seniors, Erinn Dooley had the best night of her season, which has been plagued by injuries. She took home her second balance beam title of the year with a 9.925 and finished third in her first appearance in floor exercise. "It felt really good," Dooley said. "If you have a frustrating season, you just put that behind you and don't think about that kind of stuff. "But I just came in here and had as much fun as I could, knowing that it was senior night, and I really enjoyed it." "I think that we're peaking at the right time and all our routines are coming together really nicely. It should be an interesting competition next weekend." Breanne King UF gymnast Ashley Reed won her third all-around competition of the season, scoring a 39.3, in addition to tying her personal best of 9.925 on vault to share that event with Savannah Evans. Evans was a dual winner Friday night, also matching Tiffany Murry's score for the floor exercise crown with a 9.9. Sophomore Breanne King won the first uneven bars title of her career, turning in a 9.9 mark that equaled her personal best. "I think that we're peaking at the right time and all our routines are coming together really nicely," King said. "It should be an interesting competition next weekend." Walsh, band member cry NCAA, from page 1 best teams in this tournament and that we were going to make the Final Four," freshman guard Taurean Green said, his voice just above a whisper. "It ended in a bad way." Walsh didn't know how to react. After fouling out, he crept to UF's bench, then slumped into a chair. In seconds, Walsh dissolved. His wistful expression became one of tears buried in the palms of his hands. "[I was thinking] that this was the last time that I'm going to be on the floor with David [Lee] and maybe Peep," Walsh said. "I love Peep, and I just told him I hope this isn't the last time that I'm playing with him." -When Moss found Walsh trampled along the wayside, he slinked his left arm around the weeping guard. But no player could console UF's fans or band. HearingVillanova'sband play Tennessee's "Rocky Top" was too much. Hearing Vllanova's fans orchestrate Florida State's war chant was even worse. Band member Nichole Reigle left the court crying. Tuba player Lionel Forbes could only imagine what would have been. "We were going to go to Syracuse," Forbes said. "This sucks." All that was left Sunday was a flight to Gainesville for players and band members alike. "We're never going to get this group back, so it's going to make the plane ride tough," guard Lee Humphrey said. Added Green in a voice resembling the team mood: "No, it's not going to be fun at all." Lee: 'I gave my GATORS, from page 20 Lee continued to bear UF's rebounding burden in the second half, before gaining a collegiate career-ending fifth foul with 3:09 remaining. "I gave my heart and soul today, like I have all year. It sucks we came up short, but I can hold my head up knowing that I left everything on the floor for th is team th is year." David Le e UF forward "I gave my heart and soul today, like I have all year," Lee said. "It sucks we came up short, but I can hold my head up knowing that I left everything on the floor for this team this year." Joining Lee, freshman Corey heart and soul' Brewer fueled the Gators to a lastgasp, second half-opening run. Brewer forced two turnovers followed by consecutive 3-pointers to cut the Vllanova lead to 1 less than two minutes after the half. But Villanova guards Randy Foye and Kyle Lowry repeatedly penetrated th6 UF defense to fm ish with a combined 33 points, while leading the Wildcats to a 10-0 run with 9:18 remaining. And forward Jason Fraser punished the collapsing UF defense, finishing with a team-high 21 points and 15 rebounds. While the loss handed Donovan another disappointing postseason, he insisted his main concern was his upperclassmen. "I've been to Final Four as a player. I've been there as a coach. I've been to the Sweet 16, the Elite Eight," Donovan said. "So it's not about me. I would like for an Anthony Roberson and a Matt Matt Marriott / Alligator Staff Walsh, a David Lee and an Adrian Taurean Green, Matt Walsh and David Lee converge on Villanova's Jason Fraser. Fraser led the Wildcats Moss, our older guys, have a chance with 21 points. to experience it."

Spo-rts MONDAY, MARCH 21, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.aIIigatorSports.org Same old story: UF out in tourney's first weekend By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org NASHVILLE -The chop replaced the chomp. The mass of Villanova fans prodded at the deflated orange and blue faithful with the intimately antagonizing Seminole taunt. And as the War Chant faded into cheers'of "We want UNC," junior guard Matt Walsh pulled his trademark headband over his eyes, shielding himself from the terrible but familiar scene. For all the talk of increased physicality and defensive improvement, for all the hype surrounding UF after its first conference title in school history,. the Gators ended their season Srday in a familiar fashion. With a solid rebounding margin and domination of scoring from the paint, fifth-seeded Villanova defeated the cold-shooting Gators 76-65, giving fourth-seeded UF an early exit from the NCAA Tournament for the fifth consecutive season. "Plain and simple, we got dominated," jiumior forward Adrian Moss said. "No sugar coating, nothing. I'm going to give it to you raw with no chaser. We just got dominated. They kicked ourjbutts in every facet of the game." After a season in which the Gators improved from the eleventhto the second-best rebounding team in the Southeastern Conference, Villanova outrebounded UF 44-34. The Wildcats also outscored the Gators 40-26 in the paint. And in a marner unprecedented during its season-closing eightgame winning streak that ended Sunday, UF couldn't overcome a poor shooting performance from its key offensive players. Junior guard Anthony Roberson capped a season in which he led the SEC in scoring Men's Basketball with a 5-point, UF 65 1-for-8-shootVillanova 76 ing performance. And a week after an SEC Tournament MVP 25-point outing, Walsh finished with 12 while shooting 4-for-13. "I'm just so disappointed," Walsh said. "It's not something I wanted to experience today. I love these guys, and I really did think we had a chance to do something special." That chance seemed alive and well, as UF's Big Three seemed to be clicking early. Senior forward David Lee awed the UF crowd with a one-handed slam off a sharp pass from Walsh. Roberson followed up, hitting a 3-pointer less than three minutes into the first half after sinking a pair of game-opening free throws. But the SEC-leading scorer continued his NCAA Tournament Matt Marriott/ Alligator Staff Junior guard Anthony Roberson, surrounded by teammates Matt Walsh and Al Horford, holds his towel tight in the closing minutes of UF's 76-65 loss to Villanova. shooting funk, missing his next seven attempts after a three-for-15 first-round performance on Friday. And shortly after a 13-1 Villanova run, Coach Billy Donovan pulled Roberson for nearly an 8-minute half-ending bench stint. "In this tournament, I didn't play my best basketball," Roberson said. "I had a big play in the first round to help my team win. But I wish I could've helped my team a little more than I did." In the absence of Walsh and Roberson, who shot a combined 1for-5 in the first half, Lee mounted a one-man reprisal. Facing a 12-point deficit and an abrupt end to his UF career, Lee scored 11 of his team-high 20 points as the Gators scrapped back to trail 39-32 at halftime. SEE GATORS, PAGE 19 Columnist says Gators deserve credit despite loss against Villanova NASHVILLE avid Lee gave it his all, Anthony Roberson gave little at all, and the Gators are done playing basketball. Just like that, it's over. One week ago, the Gators stood on top of the world, cutting down nets and celebrating an improbable Southeastern Conference championship. Call it the Madness of March, or flat-out bad luck, but the Gators can't buy NCAA Tournament success. David Lee called it the easiest Tournament loss to swallow. It wasn't a fluke loss to Creighton, a manhandling by Michigan State or a slaughtering by some team from Manhattan. Instead, the gods of seeding paired the Gators with the dangerous and underrated Villanova team. I, didn't hurt that Wildcats backup center Jason Fraser played more like NBA Hall-of-Famer Walt Frazier or boxing legend Joe Frazier. If Fraser became Smokin' Joe with his shocking 21-point, 15-rebound performance, the Gators ended the night a bloodied-up Muhammad Ali. The Thrilla in Manila? More like a Tennessee Frenzy. Still, give UF some credit. The Gators made it interesting this year and brought home an SEC championship at the expense of hated Kentucky. We even learned a few things on Sunday: 1. After all of the crap laid on David Lee in his four years at UF, the senior forward was the only player that stepped up in an otherwise hellish performance from UF's star players. If the rest of the team could have fed off Lee's 20-point, 10-rebound performance, the Gators would likely be heading to Syracuse for a date with North Carolina. Still, Lee may have just bought himself a ticket to the first round of the NBA Draft. Quality NBA teams generally draft Andrew late in the first round, Abramson and it's possible that Drew's Control an already playoffaabramson@alligstor.org bound team could call on the college-tested big man. How about David Lee subbing in for Udonis Haslem on the Miami Heat? 2. The only thing NBA about Anthony Roberson at this point is his socks. The junior, who wears socks with the NBA logo, basically admitted he's out the door. "If it is [my last season], there's nothing I can really do," Roberson said. "Now it's over, and I'm not going to hurt myself and kill myself with how it ended." Peep, nobody's suggesting you take drastic measures, but you may want to stick around for a senior season and improve your game. Despite Roberson's disappointing postseason capped off by a 5-point, 1-for-8 effort against Villanova, he led the SEC in scoring and was runner-up for SEC Player of the Year -will he really raise his stock by staying with UF? If Roberson does indeed follow Lee to the NBA Draft, how will the Gators respond next year? Taurean Green can probably be a suitable point guard, and Corey Brewer will become a true scoring threat. But questions remain. Is Matt Walsh capable of being the team's No. 1 option every night? Can a combo of Chris Richard, Adrian Moss and Joakim Noah replace Lee? I'm not saying this was UF's final chance at a true run to the Final Four, but enjoy the SEC championship.
