Bill aims to control 'leftist' professors


* THE LAW COULD LET STUDENTS
SUE FOR UNTOLERATED BELIEFS.

By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM
Alligator Staff Writer
jvanl@alligator.org

TALLAHASSEE Republicans on the
House Choice and Innovation Committee
voted along party lines Tuesday to pass a bill


that aims to stamp out "leftist totalitarianism"
by "dictator professors" in the classrooms of
Florida's universities.
.The Academic Freedom Bill of Rights, spon-
sored by Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, passed
8-to-2 despite strenuous objections from the
only two Democrats'on the committee.
The bill has two more committees to pass
before it can be considered by the full House.
While promoting the bill Tuesday, Baxley
said a university education should be more


than "one biased view by the professor, who
as a dictator controls the classroom," as part of
"a misuse of their platform to indoctrinate the
next generation with their own views."
The bill sets a statewide standard that
students cannot be punished for professing
beliefs with which their professors disagree.
Professors would also be advised to teach
alternative "serious academic theories" that
may disagree with their personal views.
According to a legislative staff analysis


of the bill, the law would give students who
think their beliefs are not being respected legal
standing to sue professors and universities.
SStudents who .believe their professor is
singling them out for "public ridicule" for
instance, when professors use the Socratic
method to force students to explain their theo-
ries in class would also be given the right to
sue.

SG ELECTIONS

Students vote again


for future leadership


SBy BRIDGET CAREY
and NEIL HUGHES
Alligator Staff Writers

Today is the last day to vote
for the Student Government run-
off election that will decide who
wins control over more than $11
million in student funds, and so
-. far approximately 8 percent of
the student body has voted.
Approximately 4,013 students
voted Tuesday, SG Supervisor of
Elections Ali Blye said. At mid-
night, she will announce whether
the Gator Party or Impact Party
won the Student Body executive
ticket.
Compared to the first voting
day last week, 253 less voters

again because neither Gator nor


Impact were able to wrestle away
more than 50 percent of the vote,
thanks to the Progress and Voice
parties.
Gator came the closest to
breaking the 50 percent barrier,
winning 48.89 percent of the total
votes for the president and vice
president race. Impact received
29.94 percent in the same field.

Costs of decals, housing, Gator 1 cards to increase


Higher prices will go toward facility maintenance
By STEPHANIE GARRY and EMILY YEHLE student on the board, voted against housing increases but in
Alligator Staff Writers favor of the other hikes.


UF students will have to pay the university more next year
for some of their basic services, after UF's highest governing
board approved increases in Gator 1 Card, housing and park-
ing costs.
The Board of Trustees. overwhelmingly approved the hikes
Tuesday. But Student Body President Jamal Sowell, the only

Instead of paying $10 for a new or replacement Gator 1
identification card, students will have to pay $15.
The increase will help pay for new equipment that will cre-
ate a better card, said David Looney, manager of UF ID Card
Services.


The cards have stayed the same price for at least 10 years, he
said. They also are cheaper than at any other Florida university,
said Jim Morgan, director of UF Business Services.
Currently, the hologram on the right-hand corer is created
using.a foil-like piece inserted between the card arid the outer
plastic layer, causing the protective layer to peel.
"I think there's no question that the quality of card we've
been issuing has been causing problems," Looney said.
The new ID would have a hologram similar to those used

CITY ELECTION PROFILES



Lawyer says 'Make art, not war'


Gabe Kaimowitz, a nationally recognized civil rights lawyer, is
running for the Gainesville City Commission At-Large seat.


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

Gabe Kaimowitz promises to be unforgettable.
At his insistence, the At-Large candidate will use no lawn
posters and no last name.
On the ballot, he will be listed only by his first name,
Gabriel, and would prefer to be addressed only as such.
He has said publicly that UF President Bemie Machen has
no interest in Gainesville, and that he lost hope for Mayor
Pegeen Hanrahan.
"It's like a little broken love affair between us," he said.
Kaimowitz said he has a domestic partner who has no part
in his campaign and "probably would vote against [him]."
His campaigning has been limited to radio and newspa-
per ads, public forums and his Web page situated on the
local elections site www.freeforallcandidates.com which
had accumulated 474 hits as of Tuesday.
But his is a campaign championing art and humor, he said,
invoking the spirit of his favorite movie, "Life is Beautiful."
"That's the point Holocaust humor," he said. "When
things are so bad, what are you going to do but laugh?"
After visiting his "campaign office" Mail Boxes Etc. -
in a houndstooth sports coat with frayed edges, Kaimowitz
explained his campaign concepts on the dandelion-covered
banks of Hogtown Creek.
Laughter and outrageousness are his strategy for appeal-
ing to voters, he said.
"I am in favor of Affordable Humor and Workfare for
the Humorless, many of whom idle away in semiretire-
ment in gated communities or on secret golf courses," wrote


Kaimowitz on his Web site.
In the past, his theatrics included revealing a cartoon
poster of a naked man with an American flag in his rectum in
a City Commission meeting.
Gainesville can expect more drama if he wins, he said.
"Absolutely," he said. "It's all performance.
Commissioners have no meaningful power."
Kaimowitz's campaign behavior often distracts vot-
ers from his illustrious career as a civil rights lawyer.
Several of his cases gained national attention. In 1973, he sued
on behalf of patients slated for lobotomy, setting a precedent
hindering attempts to control minds through surgery.
In 1977, Kaimowitz was the first to legally establish "black
English" as a separate dialect. His victory in the case required
teachers to take classes teaching them not to discriminate

"My whole campaign is targeted at students.
If they were to hear the issues, they would
vote overwhelmingly for me."
Gabe Kaimowitz
At-Large candidate for the Gainesville City Commission


against students who spoke it.
His recent stances on race have been equally controversial.
Kaimowitz has mentioned that misspelling on banners ad-
vertising Martin Luther King Day events used black English.
He said the banner mistake would keep UF from growing
into a great university.
Because Student Government's proposed adjunct com-
missioner would not have voting rights, the city's "separate
but equal" treatment of students would continue, he said.
"My whole campaign is targeted at students," he added.
"If they were to hear the issues, they would vote overwhelm-
ingly for me."

'Basketball Diaries' author speaks


Poems, prose performed at Reitz


By LINDSAY TAULBEE
Alligator Writer
Itaulbee@alligator.org

The mood in the Reitz Union
Auditorium on Tuesday night shift-
ed from light to somber and back


again as "The Basketball Diaries"
author Jim Carroll read several of
his works to a mostly student audi-
ence of about 100.
Clad all in black, the poet, au-
thor, singer and former heroin ad-


Jim Carroll, author of "The Basketball Diaries," reads excerpts of his
works Tuesday night at the Reitz Union Auditorium.


dict drew laughs as he read about
the worst job he ever had, a fat bat
that flew into his bedroom and a
performance art piece that involved
killing a cockroach.
"I'm guilty of going for the yuks
with the prose pieces," he said.
Carroll is best known for
"Diaries," which was made into a
movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio
in 1995.
Reading from one essay entitled
"A Day at the Races," Carroll de-
picted a time he and his girlfriend
found they had contracted genital
crabs.
"I felt hygiene deficient," he
read.
Cleaning themselves of the para-
sites, he said his girlfriend saved
a few of them in the jar and then
raced them.
"God, what a woman," he read,
"who can turn an ailment into a vi-
able recreation.".
Carroll's performance also
featured the poem "Facts," which
included some statements that were
true.
"Others are facts that I made
up," he said.
For example, the poem he read
described the static electricity that
can be generated by dragging a
large cat for 16 hours across a shag
carpet.
Danielle Truscio, a UF history
student, attended the event with
her brother.
"I really enjoyed the prose,
personally. Very intriguing. Very
funny,"-she said.
She added she felt as though
Carroll interacted with those in at-
tendance.
"I liked how personal he was
with the audience," she said..
The Reitz Union Board's RUB
Week sponsored the event.


ELECTIONS 2005

Mayor talks to


Student Senate

By IVETTE MENDEZ
Alligator Writer
imendez@alligator.org

Contrary to what vying Student Government par-
ties Gator and Impact may lead students to believe, SG
cannot change local ordinances without city approval.
Gainesville Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan spoke at
Tuesday night's Student Senate meeting to inform
students about the importance of their involvement in
local government.
The final say in issues such as bar and club closing
times and roam towing rates do not come from UF's
Student Government, or its administration for that
matter, she said.
Those decisions lie in the hands of Gainesville's
seven City Commissioners, three of whom are up for
re-election March 29.
.,. ; "It certainly does affect you while
you are here," Hanrahan said.
Last year, the mayoral election
that eventually put Hanrahan in
office took place during UF's Spring
Break. Students and faculty are a big
constituency, making up about half
of Gainesville's population.
Hanrahan "In Gainesville, you have to
get 50 percent plus one to win,"
Hanrahan said. "I had to go to a runoff because it was
Spring Break time."
One difficult part of being mayor, she said, is that
she cannot say whom she supports in the upcoming
election. Her position makes Hanrahan a member on
the city's Canvassing Board, which tallies ballots.
"I'm not taking a position this election," Hanrahan
said.
It's tough because whoever gets into office has a
huge impact, she said.
To show students whether they are eligible to vote
in the District 2 or 3 race the At-Large seat can be
voted on by any resident: of Gainesville Hanrahan
brought a city map with the electoral districts delin-
eated.
"I am in District 4, which is not up for re-election at
this time," Hanrahan said, dodging the question of her
vote for this election.
She said she wants students to take part in making
UF a better school, to make UF a Top 10 public research
university so degrees earned here would be worth
more in the job market, Hanrahan said.
"Both Gainesville and the university have that
goal," she said.
The mayor ended by emphasizing the changes stu-
dents can make in government.


Commission hopefuls weigh in on Gainesville safety issues


By ELIZABETH PRANN
Alligator Writer
eprann@alligator.org

The nine candidates vying for three City Commission seats
took on the city-wide issue of public safety at Tuesday night's
forum at the United Christ Church of Gainesville.
The issue was focused to the four open-forum participants
in the race for the Gainesville-wide elected At-Large City
Commission seat incumbent Rick Bryant and candidates
Diyonne McGraw, a realtor, carpenter Rob Brinkman and at-
torney Gabe Kaimowitz.
In an interview prior to the forum, Kaimowitz said.his big-
gest concern was the tumultuous relationship between local
police and the black community.
He referred to an incident that occurred about a year ago
when officers disrupted a downtown arts festival, confiscat-
ing videotapes and other materials from about 11 merchants.
Allegations of racial discrimination stemmed from the inci-
dent.
"Relations are tense despite what you hear," he said, adding
that neither the black community nor law enforcement is ap-
proaching the issue properly.
Another improvement he would like to see is a certain
amount of money set aside for more personnel and-increases


in salary.
"It comes down to the ability to mediate or negotiate," he
said.
In addition, Kaimowitz said-he would like to see more di-
versity, with at least one black female firefighter working for
the city again, adding that though there used to be one, she is
no longer with the force.
"Relations are tense despite what you hear."
Gabe Kalmowitz
At-Large City Commission candidate

Lastly, Kaimowitz said at the forum that although he is
70-years-old, he has never seen a community in which the
leading spokesperson is a police officer, noting that the situa-
tion leaves room for distortion and crass conclusions without
supportive data.
On the other hand, candidate Rob Brinkman, whose plat-
form priority is a healthy community for children, proposed
prevention as the solution to Gainesville's public safety is-
sues.
He said there are 2,400 inmates released annually from
the prison located in Starke, about 30 minutes away from the
heart of Gainesville, and that many of them head back in to


Alachua County.
"There has to be a better way," he said.
He said he also agrees with prevention programs aimed at
juveniles that intend to deter them from prison.
Bryant, who states that his platform is stronger and safer
neighborhoods, also discussed juvenile issues.
He told listeners about the success of Teen Zone. an after-
school program designed to prevent juvenile crimes during
the afternoon hours between the end of school and'before
parents return from work.
"Public safety is job No. 1," Bryant said, touting his record
of supporting an increase in budget for the Gainesville Police
Department.
He was present when the commission allocated 275
laptops to patrol vehicles, with the intention of preventing
them from making trips back to the station, keeping them in
neighborhoods because they can verify information in their
vehicles.
McGraw, who prides herself on her community and social

"It's an important issue all across town," McGraw said,

homelessness and poverty.

Dance Marathon kicks in


By LINDSAY PETER
Alligator Contributing Writer

The 11-day countdown to the 11th annual
Dance Marathon began with line dancing on
Turlington Plaza on Tuesday. Between class-
es, morale captains students in charge of
spirit events and.choreography performed
last year's line dance to a medley of songs.
"We keep the new line dance secret until
the day of, to teach the dancers at the actual
event," said Ashley Barwig, public relations
chairwoman for Dance Marathon.
Dancing in the plaza will be held again
March 31 in an effort to raise awareness and
get students interested in participating.
"Our goal is to get people who did Dance
Marathon last year to join in," said Whitney
Walker, a morale captain.
Dancing will take place from 11:30 a.m. to
11:45 a.m., 12:35 a.m. to 12:50 p.m. and 1:40
p.m. to 1:55 p.m.
Dance Marathon's kickoff rally will
be held at the Downtown Commurity
Plaza from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on March 29.
Approximately 10 organizations will be
judged on their-lip sync performances. The


top three lip syncs will be performed at
Dance Marathon on April 2.
An evening fund-raiser will be held at the
Cold Stone Creamery locations on Archer
Road and Newberry Road on Saturday.

A "Because You Dance" banner will
be set up for signing in Turlington Plaza
from March 30 to April 1 to allow anyone
the opportunity to write notes of apprecia-

pus excited and showing the dancers how
much we love them and appreciate them,"
Barwig said.
April 1, the day. before the event, danc-
ers will be able to bring their Gator 1 cards
to Turlington Plaza and pick up free goodie
bags and Domino's Pizza.


Professor advances PC


By KEELEY MCCARTY
Alligator Contributing Writer

A UF engineering professor is using
the concept of ordered chaos to develop
a new computer prototype.
William Ditto, chairman of the
UF biomedical department, used the
roulette wheel as an example of chaos.
Where the ball lands on the wheel
seems random, but careful observation
reveals patterns behind the results.
Ditto said his prototype has the po-
tential to be faster, cheaper and easier
to build, with fewer constraints than
today's personal computer.
"I don't know how often you get a
chance to recreate the personal com-
puter," he said.
Ditto and colleague Sudeshna Sinha
started research for the project in 1998.
The first chips to possess the chaos
technology were created about one
year ago, and Ditto estimated it will
take another three years until a com-


puter prototype is available.
In today's PC, the motherboard
- the circuit board that controls the
computer is sectioned off into groups
of specialized chips.
The elements of the chaos mother-
board have the potential to perform the
tasks each specialized chip in a normal
motherboard can do, said Aris Miliotis,
a biomedical engi-
U F neering graduate stu-
Research dent who is helping
Ditto with research.
"Instead of everybody being spe-
cialized, everybody can do everyone
else's job," Ditto said.
The versatility of the chaos elements
allows them to be used where they are
needed at any point in time, rather than
being limited by specialization.
Though obstacles still lie ahead,
such as developing an operating sys-
tem to run the new computer, Ditto
said he is hopeful for the project's
success.

Elections' end

Students have one last

opportunity to speak up
After all the rumors of dirty politics, all of the extensive
Alligator coverage and all of the just plain madness,
today finally is the last day of voting for Student
Government executive positions.
At this point, all arguments have distilled into two opposite
sides.
One, which includes the Alligator and the more student-ac-
cess-oriented candidates, says students must vote if they want
to be fairly represented in SG..
The other, which includes the general attitude of the student
body and is encouraged by SG elitists, holds that everything
already is predetermined, and there is nothing students can do
to change it.
All we have to say is that students have as much power as
they want to take it upon themselves to acquire.
The numbers speak for themselves.
Less than 20 percent of the student body voted.
No party received 50 percent of the vote in the elections.
No party demonstrated enough support from the student
body to claim control of SG outright.
So, the students have a choice. And make no mistake: It is the
students' choice.
We receive countless complaints that students aren't being
considered; that SG members are spending student money for
their own gain or for the benefit of those who patted their backs
along the way; and that the administration is making decisions
that affect the students without letting the students have a say.
Students roll their eyes and say, "That's SG for you" any time
the Alligator runs a story about another SG organization whose
leadership positions have been pawned off for political favors.
If so many of the students are disgusted with the way SG
works, then surely.more than 20 percent of them can spare the
five minutes it takes to vote.
Isn't it worth those few minutes to be able to have a say in
what goes on at your university? Isn't it worth it to be able to say
that you helped to make things better?
It's a sad state of affairs.when so many answer "no" through
their actions.
But there still is one last chance for those who decide they
want to make a difference. It's infinitely better late than never.
We have made it clear that we support the Impact Party, and
that we feel the student body must as well if they are going to
maintain and continue the advances in student access that have
been so hard-won over the past year.
If students do not go out and vote for the candidates that will
represent them, don't be surprised if these advances disappear.
Don't be surprised if legacy positions are solidified.
Don't be surprised if Diane Kassim, a community affairs
cabinet director of the Black Student Union the organization-
whose members abruptly jumped ship from Impact hours be-
fore the slating deadline happens to become Student Senate
president after the elections.
Don't be surprised if this is just the tip of the iceberg.
In short, don't be surprised if everything you expect of SG
continues to happen-business as usual.
It would be business as usual, but it doesn't have to be that
way if students are willing to step up.
If students vote, they easily can elect any candidate -
whether it's the representatives of the minority or the majority.
If students don't vote, then the naysayers are right: There's
nothing students can do if they aren't willing to do anything.

Real issue is right to refuse treatment


T erri Schiavo's death would be a tragedy. But any-
one who says the Schiavo case is about the "right
to die" or the "right to life" isn't being honest. It's
about the right to refuse treatment.
WVe preserve that right for Jehovah's Witnesses,
Christian Scientists and others who object to certain
medical practices. As we forge ahead with stem cell re-
search, nanotechnology and cloning, expect to see many
others who opt out of certain "treatments."
Assuming that Schiavo's husband is telling the truth,
and that she truly wished not to be kept alive artificially,
we must respect those wishes. To do otherwise is to re-
voke the basic human right to self-determination.
Whatever our religious beliefs, we recognize that the
law should not be used to enforce those beliefs upon oth-
ers in this private situation. To do so would be to create
the "nanny state" that conservatives so despise and sub-
ject ourselves to the tyranny of the majority in the name
of personal beliefs rather than the public good.
None of this is to say that the branches of government
should not intervene, erring on the side of life if there
is any doubt as to Schiavo's intent. Nor is it to say that
those who believe refusing treatment is a sin should not
work to create social change, urging-others not to exer-
cise their right to do so, while respecting the validity of
that legal right. It's certainly not to say Schiavo's life isn't
valuable or that her death isn't tragic.
For my part, though, I don't know what Schiavo
wanted only she, her husband and God can truly
know. Nor is there any great certainty in my soul that
refusing treatment is a sin. All I can do, then, is to pray
- for Schiavo, for her husband, for her parents, for the
lawyers and judges and legislators, for the citizens on all
sides of the debate, for forgiveness and reconciliation
- and encourage everyone to put their wishes in writ-
ing, so these painful situations can be,made less rancor-
ous and divisive.

But if you will permit me, dear
readers, I'd like to mention some
Similarly tragic deaths: Julius and
Ethel Rosenberg, Ted Bundy and
Timothy McVeigh.
All were executed by the
United-States the Rosenbergsain
1953, Bunidy in 1989 and McVeigh
in 2001. And they're not alone:
956 people have been executed
in America since 1976, according
to the Death Penalty Information


Center:
However, the United States is somewhat alone in
the world in the use of the death penalty. Abolition is
required to join the European Union. Of the Group of
Eight ,(G8) countries, the coalition of the world's leading
industrialized nations, only the United States and Japan
practice executions.
Religious groups that oppose the death penalty in-
clude Baptists, Methodists, Catholics, Episcopalians,
Jews, Quakers, Mormons, Presbyterians, Lutherans...
you get the idea.
While the ."pro-life" movement protests Terri
Schiavo's right to refuse medical treatment, our gov-
ernment continues to execute criminals. Which is more
heinous: an individual personally refusing medical treat-
ment-or the government killing in our name? Or is your
life not valuable if you've committed a crime? Yet those
"sticking up" for Schiavo are the same people who de-
fend capital punishment.
Conservatives believe,we ought to keep our laws out
of private affairs. Christians believe in life, even for crim-
inals. How come "conservative Christians" do neither?

Students shouldn't expect UF to pay fee
Editor: It's amazing that reaction against the
$50 SEVIS fee charged by UF for international
students is being couched in terms of it as be-
ing racist. I assume that every international
student is being levied this fee regardless of
their race, whether they are a pale-skinned
Scot.or a dark-skinned Polynesian.
As for the fee being unfair to foreign stu-
dents, life is not fair. If you don't like the fee,
don't come to the United States. There is no
inherent human right to any university in
whichever country you please.
I admit that I say these things being in the
privileged position of having been born a citi-
zen of the United States. But my parents were
immigrants; my father was a foreign graduate
student like so many of the foreign students


now attending this university. My parents are
the people I admire the most in this world.
My father provided for a young family of four,
having to feed; clothe and buy all other neces-
sities on less than $100 a month after paying
rent remember babies and young kids.are
expensive less than the $100 SEVIS fee
charged by the U.S. government. '
Personally, I would prefer that the univer-
sity find money in the budget to pay the fee for
international students. But, as it is, the univer-
sity is paying half the fee. If an international
student is unhappy about that, then I suggest
that they may return to their home country
and whine there. Let another foreign student
who is willing to work hard take their place.

Column on Schiavo case got facts wrong
Editor: As a political scientist and as
a journalist, the author of the column the
Alligator printed Monday regarding the
Terri Schiavo dilemma showed remarkably
little concern for the facts of the case. His
disregard for the legal system of the country
is even more worrisome.
Schiavo has been declared to be in a per-
sistent vegetative state by several state'and
appellate courts. Several doctors who have
examined her have determined that she
would not-significantly benefit from rehabil-
itative therapy. Since she is not competent,
all decisions regarding her medical care are
the responsibility of her legal guardian: her
husband, Michael Schiavo.


The U.S. Supreme Court decided that
it is a protected right of an individual to
deny medical treatment. Let's not throw
around the phrase "It just feels wrong" or
"I believe."
Specifically stated in the Constitution
is the rule of thumb that, if an issue is not
resolved in -that document, the decision
is to be left up to the governments of the
states. It is inappropriate and unheard of
to continuously violate the Constitution on
the grounds that something "doesn't feel
right."
Let's hear some facts and a few less emo-
tional knee-jerk outcries.

Letters to the Editor
Alligator should be ashamed of cartoon
Editor: Prior to Monday's Alligator, I
always had been impressed with your news-
paper. Sometimes I thought-the articles were
too one-sided, but the next day there would be
some that swayed me back to middle ground.
That all changed when I opened up to Page
6 and saw a caricature of Matt Walsh with
tears beading down his face in the form of the
word "Choke." I am embarrassed. I would be
ashamed if I were the editor of the paper.
I know that when an athlete takes the court,
they always are open for praise and for criti-
cism; that all is part of the job. What you have
done is bush-league. Matt Walsh would do
anything humanly possible to will his team to
victory. He is one of the gutsiest players ever to
wear a Gators uniform a player who leaves-
it all on the court every game he plays.
I am disappointed in your decision to run
that caricature. You show more respect for
a young man who. dives for loose balls and
makes defensive stops time and time again.
Martin Salamone
Marketing Director, University Athletic
Association



Walsh was accurately parodied in paper
Editor: Andy Marlette's depiction of Matt
Walsh's sobbing face captured Walsh's main


weakness: his drama. Sure, Walsh played well -
during the SEC Tournament, and I give him
the respect he has earned.
Coincidentally, most will agree that it was
during the SEC Tournament that his level of
drama was at its minimum. But wait, let's
forget about being sensitive for a moment
and cash out this drama business of his. How
many times have we seen Walsh drive wildly
out of control towards the rim, only to have his
hair fly one way and his body fly the other?
During such occasions, the ball usually ends
up in the hands of the opponent, and Walsh
ends up on the floor without anyone even
touching him. That's when Walsh does his fa-
mous Nancy Kerrigan impersonation with
his-familiar hands up in the air, quizzical look
and whiny sigh:
"Why?Why!Why?"
We've all seen it; we've all cursed at him for
it. Heck, he earned his nickname, "Princess,"
because of it.
Marlette's cartoon may have done what
Walsh's coaches, fans and friends have failed
to do: tell him the truth.
Brian Chapman
4LS



It is not appropriate to 'trash' a student
Editor: Freedom of the press notwith-


standing, that Matt Walsh cartoon was very
inappropriate and uncalled for. I can't think
of too many instances where I'd find it accept-
able to "trash" a student (read: non-profes-
sional) athlete who busts his ass every game,
and I would like to see the Alligator issue an
apology to Matt and the team.
Curt Genay
UF alumnus



Cartoon sullies player's good reputation
Editor: I was disappointed with the car-
toon and story banner about the basketball
team Monday. To imply Matt Walsh choked
is so far from accurate it is not even remotely
plausible. Your paper should give itself a
"Dart" and apologize to these athletes who
go to extreme efforts to represent UF To enter
the playing field and compete is laudable in its
own right, but to win 24 games and the SEC
Tournament should not so quickly be forgot-
ten. The paper's cartoon has been reproduced
all over the internet to the delight of fans of
rival schools and tarnished the reputation of
a guy who regularly is booed and screamed at
because he gives his all to win for the Gators. It
was a sad day for Gators on Sunday afternoon
and your-Monday morning depiction made it
worse. I regularly praise the Alligator to po-
tential young journalists who have an interest


pursuing careers in the print media. You are
capable of much better work than this.
David Mica
2BA



Walsh is a public figure, open to ridicule
Editor: I think the cartoon of Matt Walsh is
quite funny. Some may find it harsh and unfair,
but they fail to realize something: Matt Walsh
takes part in collegiate athletics, which means
he is going to be subject to some scrutiny. By
being I college athlete, he is a public figure to
some extent which means people are going
to write and sometimes even draw things that
he does not like. Yes, it was a big loss, but he
should have some more composure espe-
cially when he is on national TV.
The bottom line is he still is a great athlete.
Fans also should stop saying it is so mean and
such a terrible thing to do to a college athlete.
All college athletes take heat, such as the ever-
so-intelligent Chris Rix, for example, for his
little parking incidents. At FSU, they actually
made T-shirts mocking him for it.
It all is part of being an athlete or any
public figure for that matter. We hold them on
a high enough pedestal as it is; we should be
able to make fun of them once in a while.

.UF sophomore


aids in debate

By JEFF SIRMONS
Alligator Writer
jsirmons@alligator.org

There was no debate as to what Brianna Coakley wanted
out of college. As a senior in high school, she visited colleges
and immediately spoke with their debate team coaches.
"I knew I wanted to debate," Coakley said. "Even
though I never did it, I just knew it was for me."
Now, Coakley, a sophomore, is on UF's national debate
team because of her quick thinking and will to succeed.
"I was able to conceptualize my opponent's argument
and could pinpoint their weaknesses," she said. "I knew
then that we would win the debate, and when
On I spoke, everything poured outjust right. And
Campus we won."
Her success has helped propel UF to
Gonzaga University, where it is now competing with 77
other teams for the national championship.
"Very rarely would you have a novice debater debating
with experienced veterans," debate coach Frank Irizarry
said. "That's like starting a freshman quarterback with no
high school experience in college. You just don't do that."
But because of several letdowns from more experienced
debaters, Irizarry placed the burden on Coakley, who, he
said, has gone far past expectations.
"We put Brianna in quite a situation, and she's done
quite well," Irizarry said.
Coakley and partner Morgan Weinstein are in the na-
tional championships for the first time together, and rep-
resent UF there for the second time in three years after not
competing since the early 1970s.
"We're just trying to make a name for ourselves and
reemerge as a powerhouse," Weinstein said, recalling UF's
storied debate program history, which includes two second-
place finishes, in 1947 and 1954.


LOCAL COURTS

Looney back in court after mistrial


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

Forensic Investigator Lorenzo
Davis was off duty the night of April
15, 2003 wherf a phone call sum-
moned him to the little white house
at 215 NE 44th St.
By the time Davis arrived,
the property was swarming with
Alachua County Sheriff's Office de-
tectives, who directed him to a small
utility shed in the backyard.
Within a trash can were the re-
mains of James Ralph Looney.
According to the Medical
Examiner's Office, they had been
there for more than six months, and
it was Davis' responsibility to sort
through the trash can and classify its
.contents, beginning the long road to
a courtroom in the Alachua County
Criminal Courthouse where James'
brother, Terrance Lee Looney, sat in
the defendant's chair.
The second round of opening ar-
guments, after a mistrial last month,
was heard Tuesday in the trial of
Looney, a Gainesville inan charged
with second-degree murder.
Witness and Looney's criminal
record indicated the brothers, who
lived together in their childhood
home, had a strained relationship.
Two days before Christmas in
2000, Looney, 42, attacked his-brother
with a tree limb and broke James' leg,
which led to his conviction for felony
battery. Looney's probation ordered
him to stay away from James.
Nevertheless, on routine visits to
the Looney home, officer Robin Pryor


repeatedly found the brothers still liv-
ing together, and in 2002, Looney was
arrested. Upon release, Looney once
again returned to live with James.
James, 47, an electrician employed
at a construction site on UF's campus,
went on a weeklong paid vacation
Sept. 13; 2002.-However, when he
failed to return to work ten days later,
his employer mailed his last pay-
check to the Looney residence.
Inquiries concerning James'
whereabouts failed to return any
leads. According to witness testimo-
ny, at times Looney said his brother
moved to High Springs and at other
times, to Jacksonville.
"The state will tell you that
Terrance Looney killed his
brother, folded him up and
just put him in shed on their
own property, but their evi-
dence is inefficient."
Matthew Wells
Attorney for Terrence Lee Looney

Looney allegedly told Pryor
when she questioned him that James
moved to Tampa.
On April 15, 2003, months after
James is said to have disappeared, a
foul odor stemming from the Looney
property attracted the attention of
a neighbor. She was the one to first
discover the remains of.James in a
standard-issue Gainesville Regional
Utilities trash can inside the shed.
Among the exhibits the state
entered into evidence Tuesday were


approximately 30 crime scene pho-
tographs taken by Davis upon his
arrival to the Looney property.
The last photo was presented
to Davis alone. When questioned,
Davis paused, sighed and said he
recognized it.
As members of the jury examined
it, they tried to turn the print as if to
establish a reference point, to deter-
mine if they were holding it correctly.
Taken from an angle directly above
the mouth of the trash can, the photo
depicted its gruesome contents.
However, Looney's attorney
Matthew Wells said facts are weak.
"The state will tell you that
Terrance Looney killed his brother,
folded him up and just put him in
shed on their own property, but their
evidence is inefficient," Wells said.
Among the evidence Wells ques-
tioned is the exact date of James'
death, maintaining that James
could have been strangled anytime
between September and April, and
that it is very likely that his client was
incarcerated at the time.
Nevertheless, witness testimony
Tuesday revealed that after his
brother's disappearance, Looney
cashed his brother's paycheck, wore
his brother's clothes and pawned his
brother's tools just days after James is
alleged to have disappeared.
The pawnbroker who made the
transaction testified that he ques-
tioned the man who sold the items.
According to the prosecution, the
signature of the seller is Terrance's.
"This case. is driven by detail, not
by doubt or speculation," prosecutor
Jeanne Singer said.

don't like it, there's the door,"' Baxley
said, citing one example when he thought
a student should sue.
Rep. Dan Gelber, D-Miami Beach,
warned of lawsuits from students enrolled
in Holocaust history courses who believe
the Holocaust never happened.
Similar suits could be filed by students
who don't believe astronauts landed on
the moon, who believe teaching birth
control is a sin or even by Shands medi-
cal students who refuse to perform blood
transfusions and believe prayer is the only
way to heal the body, Gelber added.
"This is a horrible step," he said.
"Universities will have to hire lawyers so
our curricula can be decided by judges in
courtrooms. Professors might have to pay
court costs even if they win from
their own pockets. This is not an innocent
piece of legislation."
The staff analysis also warned the bill
may shift responsibility for determining
whether a student's freedom has been
infringed from the faculty to the courts.
But Baxley brushed off Gelber's-con-
cerns. "Freedom is a dangerous thing, and
you might be exposed to things you don't
want to hear," he said. "Being a business-
man, I found out you can be sued for any-
thing. Besides, if students are being perse-
cuted and ridiculed for their beliefs, I think
they should be given standing to sue."
During the committee hearing, Baxley
cast opposition to his bill as "leftists"
struggling against "mainstream society."
"The critics ridicule me for daring to


stand up for students and faculty," he said,
adding that he was called a McCarthyist.
Baxley later said he had a list of stu-
dents who were discriminated against by
professors, but refused to reveal names
because he felt they would be persecuted.
Rep. Eleanor Sobel, D-Hollywood,
argued universities and the state Board of
Governors already have policies in place
to protect academic freedom. Moreover,
a state law outlining how professors are
supposed to teach would encroach on the
board's authority to manage state schools.
"The big hand of state government
is going into the uni-
versities telling them
how to teach," she
said. "This bill is the
antithesis of academic
freedom."
But Baxley com-
o w pared the state's uni-
Sobel versities to children,
saying the legislature
should not give them money without
providing "guidance" to their behavior.
"Professors are accountable for what
they say or do," he said. "They're ac-
countable to the rest of us in society ..-
All of a sudden the faculty think they can
do what they want and shut us out. Why
is it so unheard of to say the professor
shouldn't be a dictator and control that
room as their totalitarian niche?"
In an interview before the meeting,
Baxley said "arrogant, elitist academics
are swarming" to oppose the bill, and
media reports misrepresented his inten-
tions.
"I expect to be out there on my own
pretty far," he said. "I don't expect to be
part of a team."

tion as his second chance since he
did not vote last week.
Trying to break through the
gauntlet of Turlington Plaza's
pressuring campaigners was also
a source of voting motivation for
some.
"I didn't even know there
was another election this week


until I saw all of these people out
here," UF senior Paul Perrin said.
"I thought, 'Wasn't this over last
week?'"

Eleventh-hour endorsement
UF College Democrats President
Stephanie Sims said its editorial
board decided to endorse the Impact
Party since the Student Senate races,
which included College Democrats
who slated with three parties, ended


last week.
"With the runoff election,
there's really too much at stake
to not take a stand one way or an-
other," Sims said.
UF College Republicans
Chairman Hunter Williams, who
unsuccessfully ran for a Senate
seat with the Impact Party, said he
felt the move made by the College
Democrats was inappropriate.
He added that. the College
Republicans did not make an


"I figured I might as well
have my voice heard."

endorsement of Impact when he
ran for Senate.
"Student Government is a very
different animal from national
politics," Williams said. "The
same distinctions don't necessar-


ily apply when it comes to Student
Government."

Live coverage
The Orange & Brew will be
election headquarters for the runoff
results around midnight.

coverage and up-to-the-minute

night to read the election blog.


Faculty parking decal prices will increase by a higher percentage than student prices


TRUSTEES, from page 1


on Florida Driver's licenses, which are printed on an additional
layer of plastic, he said.
"The hologram creates that type of product that makes it
difficult to counterfeit," he said.
Eventually, the card might also be changed to include the
new logo UF branding consultants recommended to the trust-
ees Tuesday, Morgan said.
ID Card Services also have added a new system that allows
students to instantaneously transfer money from their debit or
credit card to their Gator 1 Card from any computer.
Six kiosks were added to the campus in August and offer
students places to transfer their funds. Two are in the Reitz
Union food court, as none of the restaurants accept debit or
credit cards. Others appear at Little Hall, the Gator Dining
Services office and the Gator 1 Card office in the UF Welcome
Center.
Thus far, students have made approximately 3,000 transac-
tions on campus and approximately 15,000 elsewhere.
The purpose of the venture is to save students money,
Morgan said. If campus food vendors took debit and credit
cards, he said, the cost of that implementation would be rolled
over to the consumer..


Housing rates jump
Students living in the majority of dorms next year will pay
$75 more each semester for housing.
Students in the two newest dorms, Lakeside Residential
Complex and Hume Hall, will pay only $50 more a semester.
In both cases, the $50 will go toward building maintenance and
increased utility costs.
The additional $25 charged to resi-
U F dents of older dorms will go to special
Administration projects and capital improvement,
such as the ongoing renovation of
Murphree Hall to add air conditioning
and revamp its operational systems.
"If you're good stewards of your buildings, you'll have a
plan in place for each of the buildings," said Sharon Blansett,
spokeswoman for the Division of Housing and Residence
Education.
Diamond Village, which houses mostly graduate students
and families, underwent a $15 million renovation last year.
Murphree should be ready for students to move in next Fall.
The new rates allow for utilities costs, which have risen 3 to
5 percent, and personnel costs, including a 2.5 percent raise for
salaried staff and a dollar increase in the minimum wage.
The rental rates represent a 3 to 4.5 percent increase over this
year, which is a little lower but fairly consistent with years past.


Housing rental rates have increased an average of 6.15 percent-
age points each year since 1998.

Students given decal 'bargain'
Student parking decal prices are increasing approximately
4 percent to help pay for the upkeep of parking facilities, such
as elevator replacement, repainting and utility bill increases,
Morgan said.
However, some other decals for faculty and staff are increas-
' ing a little more to help pay for the same maintenance, includ-
ing medical resident reserved area decals, which are increasing
by more than 6 percent.
"Students are getting a real bargain," Morgan said. "I don't
think they're paying their fair share for what they use or what
they do."
But students also pay a Transportation Access Fee, which
is charged to them through tuition and is calculated by the
amount of credit hours taken. That fee was increased in
December.
The Transportation Access Fee mostly pays for buses and
off-campus transportation, Morgan said. Raising the price of
decals is really the only way to pay for inflation and mainte-
nance, he said.
"There's not many more areas for money to come from, un-
less we want to double parking fines," he said.

Rain unable to cool Gators' bats


By FARZAD SAFI
Alligator Writer
fsafi@alligator.org

A huge sixth inning and a punctual
delay were all the Gators needed to
end Central Florida's two-game win-
ning streak over UF.
The game was delayed after a
four-run sixth inning put the Gators
ahead for good after a tied affair. UF
won 17-6 over UCF thanks to offensive
bursts and effective pitching by senior
Connor Falkenbach and junior Darren
O'Day
"It's interesting to see how a club
responds to the rain," Coach Pat
McMahon said. "I know it's funny,
but we practice for the rain in the fall.
It's important to persevere no matter
what."
The Golden Knights appeared
early on as if they would make it three
in a row over UE
Freshman right-hander Bryan
Augenstein struggled and was pulled
by McMahon after 2.1 innings.
"Bryan faced a great offensive ball-
club," McMahon said. "He has a great,
strong arm and was throwing it in the
strike zone.
"As a freshman, he just needs to
learn to back off. He has a great career
ahead of him, though."
The young pitcher lost a chance at
his first collegiate win, giving up three
runs over the span of 37 pitches.
"Bryan didn't have a great night,"
Falkernch said. "He needs to just put
this behind him and move on."
AUCF junior right-hander Taylor
Cobb had his way over the first three
innings, holding the Gators to two
hits.
Meanwhile, the Golden Knights'
offense got in three runs before
Augenstein was pulled.
McMahon put in right-hander
Falkenbach, who immediately righted

win against Central Florida.


the ship. Falkenbach denied UCF any
runs over the three innings he was on
the mound:
"I didn't panic when I was put in,"
Falkenbach said. "I knew it was only


a matter of time until we scored some
runs. My job was just to keep the game
close."

Lochte craves NCAA title


By BRIAN STEELE
Alligator Writer

They saw it from the beginning.
When most children first jump
into a pool, they are simply trying
to make a thundering splash with a
tight-knit cannonball.
UF junior swimmer Ryan
Lochte, however, had different
plans as a kid.
"At his first meet, we knew he
had capabilities to swim fast," said
his mother, Ike Lochte. "How far
he took it was up to him. It was
very natural; he just jumped in and
went."
Now, two Olympic medals,
11 All-American honors, several
world record times and countless
other awards later, Lochte looks to
add something else to his trophy
case on Thursday: an NCAA cham-
pionship.
While being the leader of a
team trying to win its first national
championship in over 20 years
would put overwhelming pressure
on many, head coach Gregg Troy
knows Lochte better than that.
"He is mentally extremely
tough," Troy said. "He likes chal-
lenges. I think his competitiveness
brings his teammates up. He really
enjoys racing and thrives on pres-
sure. With that and a great work
ethic, it's hard not to be success-
ful."


"I'm satisfied, but at the same
time I'm not," Lochte said. "My
expectations for myself are a lot
higher. I know that I've trained
harder than most people and that
helps me. I'm taking one meet at
a time, and-right now it's NCAAs.
[Winning a national champion-
ship] is always something we've
talked about. Our team this year
is a lot better; we've trained harder,
we're getting along better than ever
before."
Lochte's goals may seem high to
anyone else, but according to him,
they are very reasonable. He has
some choice wvord- and gestures for
those who would tell him he was
aiming too high.
"I'd probably give them the
finger," Lochte said. "I'd throw in
a couple of cuss words at them too.
I guess everybody has their own
opinion, but I know what I'm ca-
pable of doing."
It's impossible to deny that
Lochte is reaching a new level, with
swimmers from other teams asking
for pictures with him in the middle
of meets. Even with this publicity,
Lochte remains stable.
"In a way, [the pictures and
publicity] help because I don't get
nervous or bothered," Lochte said.
"It just takes my mind off most of
the stuff. It's fun."
Ever since first recruiting
Lochte, the coaching staff has had

don't really think before my races,"
Lochte said. "I just go with the flow
and am relaxed. I don't pay atten-
tion to the race before I get on the

Lochte is aware of the high
expectations the public has for
him, but when he hits the water, it


doesn't affect him.
"I know [breaking another
record is] what people are think-
ing," Lochte said. "I don't really
care, though. I'm not swimming for
them; I'm swimming for myself."
Even with a second-place finish
to Auburn at the conference meet,
Lochte feels that the Gators are now
closer than ever to achieving his
goal of a national championship.
"[Auburn] didn't blow us out
of the water like they did last year
at SECs," Lochte said. "They know
we're going to be gunning for them.
I bet Auburn swimmers are scared
right now. I know they're scared."
He may just be right.


GYMNASTICS

Tousek returns to glory through UF's ups, downs


By DAN TREAT
Alligator Writer
dtreat@alligator.org

A lot has changed in the last three months
for the No. 6 UF gymnastics team.
The Gators' high score has jumped from
194.45 to 197.2, they've bounced as low as
No. 12 and as high as No. 4 in the national
rankings and 11 different gymnasts have con-
tributed scoring routines.
No one on the team, however, may be
a better example of those changes then
Chantelle Tousek.
The sophomore from Ontario earned
C -. All1 A .--:--1


for UF in anyof this season's first five meets.
"It was really frustrating," Tousek said. "I
really wanted to put up good scores to help
the team, so at the beginning of the year it
was frustrating."
Coach Rhonda Faehn ranks Tousek as one
of the three gymnasts who have improved the
most since the beginning of this season, along
with Tiffany Murry and-Savannah Evans.
"[Tousek] wasn't competing for us for
probably the first couple of competitions at
least," Faehn said. "And then not really get-
ting into lineup for the first five meets, and
then she competed solidly for us and is fight-
ing for three different events right now, but

freshman, but did not turn in a scored routine Tousek, who can speak English, French,


Czech, Spanish and some Russian, came to
UF after earning the title of 2003 Elite Ontario
and Canadian National vault champion
as well as the 2002 -Elite
Ontario floor exercise title.
Her older sister,
Yvonne, competed for
UCLA from 2001-2004 and
was the 2001 NCAA un-
even bars champion.
Tousek Tousek has been at-
tempting routines that are
more difficult then the ones that helped her
earn eighth place at the NCAA Individual
Vault Championships last April, and that
may have slowed her re-entering the lineup.
"I had to get more consistent with my


routines," Tousek said. "I've put in more dif-
ficulty this year, so it wasn't that consistent in
the beginning, but now we're justworking on
polishing and perfecting stuff."
Tousek first cracked the balance beam
lineup against Auburn, and was thnrtt into
action on. floor exercise after Orley Szmuch
rolled her ankle on a balance beam dis-'
mount.
Since that time, she has been juggling
vault, balance beam and floor exercise, re-
cently.scoring a 9.75 on vault and a 9.825
on floor exercise as part of-UF's wins oi er
Pittsburgh and Yale last Friday.
"I'm very happy. Right now, I'm in three
events, so I'm happy I can contribute my
score."

UP ROUNDUP


UF continues upward climb against Blue Devils


By NATASHA WEINSTEIN

nweinstein@alligator.org

It might seem that the No. 15 UF
women's tennis team would hardly
pose a threat to No. 7 Duke.
Don't be so sure.
Coming off a win against tenth-
ranked North Carolina, the Gators
are looking to reclaim their spot at
the toikof the rankings. Back-to-back


Southeastern Conference losses two
weeks ago caused them to drop 13
spots in the rankings.
"I don't think we're a 15th-ranked
team talent-wise; we just haven't
played anybody yet," Coach.Roland
Thomqvist said. "Bottom line is if
we play good tennis, I think we can
beat anybody. And the rankings will
take care of themselves."
The Gators face the Blue Devils at
5 p.m today.


"[Duke] has always been one
of those teams
we've played
close," he said.
"Every year they
find a ,way to
play. their abso-
lute best tennis
and we certainly
Thornqvist have to be ready
for nothing less."
The Gators have been spending


lots of time on the court improving
errors made in weeks prior.
"The road to recovery is new ter-
ritory for our players," Thornqvist
said. "There is one way to go about
it get back on the court and work
harder."

ATHLETES HONORED: UF soc-
cer player Ashley Kellgren and
swimmer Justin Zumsteg have
been named the 2005 UF nomina-


tions for the H. Boyd McWhorter
Scholar-Athlete Post-Graduate
Scholarship.
SSince 1986, the SEC has presented
the award to the league's top male
and female scholar-athletes.
The conference will name the
2005 recipients of the scholarship on
April 6 in conjunction with National
Student-Athlete Day.

The Gators' offense finally got on the board in the
fourth when senior centerfielder Jeff Corsaletti brought
junior Stephen Barton home.
Sophomore second baseman Adam Davis took care
of the rest, hitting a three-run home run to put UF up
4-3.
"We had a great night as a team," Davis said. "I


swung the bat really well and just had a nice time out
there.",
Davis also had three RBI after the delay to give him
seven RBI for the night. It was the most for any Gators
player since Brian Rose had 7 RBI vs. Florida Atlantic
in May 2003.
"UCF had their No. 1 pitcher in there," McMahon

By JAMES'VANLANDINGHAM Alligator Staff Writer jvanl@alligator.org TALLAHASSEE -Republicans on the House Choice and Innovation Committee voted along party lines Tuesday to pass a bill that aims to stamp out "leftist totalitarianism" by "dictator professors" in the classrooms of Florida's universities. The Academic Freedom Bill of Rights, sponsored by Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, passed 8-to-2 despite strenuous objections from the only two Democratson the committee. The bill has two more committees to pass before it can be considered by the full House. While promoting the bill Tuesday, Baxley said a university education should be more than "one biased view by the professor, who as a dictator controls the classroom," as part of a misuse of their platform to indoctrinate the next generation with their own views." The bill sets a statewide standard that students cannot be punished for professing beliefs with which their professors disagree. Professors would also be advised to teach alternative "serious academic theories" that may disagree with their personal views. According to a legislative staff analysis of the bill, the law would give students who think their beliefs are not being respected legal standing to sue professors and universities. .Students who believe their professor is singling them out for "public ridicule" -for instance, when professors use the Socratic method to force students to explain their theories in class -would also be given the right to sue.

By BRIDGET CAREY and NEIL HUGHES Alligator Staff Writers Today is the last day to vote for the Student Government runoff election that will decide who wins control over more than $11 million in student funds, and so far approximately 8 percent of the student body has voted. Approximately 4,013 students voted Tuesday, SG Supervisor of Elections Ali Blye said. At midnight, she will announce whether the Gator Party or Impact Party won the Student Body executive ticket. Compared to the first voting day last week, 253 less voters showed up to the polls Tuesday. In round two of the election, the executive candidates face off again because neither Gator nor Impact were able to wrestle away more than 50 percent of the vote, thanks to the Progress and Voice parties. Gator came the closest to breaking the 50 percent barrier, winning 48.89 percent of the total votes for the president and vice president race. Impact received 29.94 percent in the same field. Voters' viewpoints Rain and blustery weather were factors in last week's general election with a two-day total turnout of 9,150 voters.

\\D\ESDAY, MARCH 23, 2005 9 ALLIGATOR, 3 CRTY ELECTING PROILES JAWye s y 'M k arn tWUr Gabe Kaimowitz, a nationally recognized civil rights lawyer, is running for the Gainesville City Commission At-Large seat. Editor's note: This is the third in a series of four articles taking a closer look at candidates for the Gaines ville City Commission At-Large seat. By BRIAN HAGEN Alligator writer bhagen@ailigator.org Gabe Kaimowitz promises to be unforgettable. At his insistence, the At-Large candidate will use no lawn posters -and no last name. On the ballot, he will be listed only by his first name, Gabriel, and would prefer to be addressed only as such. He has said publicly that UF President Bernie Machen has no interest in Gainesville, and that he lost hope for Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan. "It's like a little broken love affair between us," he said. Kaimowitz said he has a domestic partner who has no part in his campaign and "probably would vote against [him]." His campaigning has been limited to radio and newspaper ads, public forums and his Web page -situated on the local elections site www.freeforallcandidates.com -which had accumulated 474 hits as of Tuesday. But his is a campaign championing art and humor, he said, invoking the spirit of his favorite movie, "Life is Beautiful." "That's the point -Holocaust humor," he said. "When things are so bad, what are you going to do but laugh?" After visiting his "campaign office" -Mail Boxes Etc. in a houndstooth sports coat with frayed edges, Kaimowitz explained his campaign concepts on the dandelion-covered banks of Hogtown Creek. Laughter and outrageousness are his strategy for appealing to voters, he said. "I am in favor of Affordable Humor and Workfare for the Humorless, many of whom idle away in semiretirement in gated communities or on secret golf courses," wrote Kaimowitz on his Web site. In the past, his theatrics included revealing a cartoon poster of a naked man with an American flag in his rectum in a City Commission meeting. Gainesville can expect more drama if he wins, he said. "Absolutely," he said. "It's all performance. Commissioners have no meaningful power." Kaimowitz's campaign behavior often distracts voters from his illustrious career as a civil rights lawyer. Several of his cases gained national attention. In 1973, he sued on behalf of patients slated for lobotomy, setting a precedent hindering attempts to control minds through surgery. In 1977, Kaimowitz was the first to legally establish "black English" as a separate dialect. His victory in the case required teachers to take classes teaching them not to discriminate "My whole campaign is targeted at students. If they were to hear the issues, they would vote overwhelmingly for me." Gabe Kaimowitz At-Large candidate for the Gainesville City Commission against students who spoke it. His recent stances on race have been equally controversial. Kaimowitz has mentioned that misspelling on banners advertising Martin Luther King Day events used black English. He said the banner mistake would keep UF from growing into a great university. Because Student Government's proposed adjunct commissioner would not have voting rights, the city's "separate but equal" treatment of students would continue, he said. "My whole campaign is targeted at students," he added. "If they were to hear the issues, they would vote overwhelmingly for me."

4, ALLIGATOR E WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2005 'Basketball Diaries' author speaks again as "The Basketball Diaries" author Jim Carroll read several of his works to a mostly student audience of about 100. The mood in the Reitz Union Clad all in black, the poet, auAuditorium on Tuesday night shiftthor, singer and former heroin aded from light to somber and back Jim Carroll, author of "The Basketball Diaries," reads excerpts of his works Tuesday night at the Reitz Union Auditorium. Poems, prose performed at Reitz By LINDSAY TAULBEE Alligator Writer ItauIbee@aIIigator.org Commission hopefuls weigh in on Gainesville safety issues By ELIZABETH PRANN Alligator Writer eprann@alligator.org The nine candidates vying for three City Commission seats took on the city-wide issue of public safety at Tuesday night's forum at the United Christ Church of Gainesville. The issue was focused to the four open-forum participants in the race for the Gainesville-wide elected At-Large City Commission seat -incumbent Rick Bryant and candidates Diyonne McGraw, a realtor, carpenter Rob Brinkman and attorney Gabe Kaimowitz. In an interview prior to the forum, Kaimowitz said.his biggest concem was the tumultuous relationship between local police and the black community. He referred to an incident that occurred about a year ago when officers disrupted a downtown arts festival, confiscating videotapes and other materials from about 11 merchants. Allegations of racial discrimination stemmed from the incident. "Relations are tense despite what you hear," he said, adding that neither the black community nor law enforcement is approaching the issue properly. Another improvement he would like to see is a certain amount of money set aside for more persoinel and-increases in salary. "It comes down to the ability to mediate or negotiate," he said. In addition, Kaimowitz saidhe would like to see more diversity, with at least one black female firefighter working for the city again, adding that though there used to be one, she is no longer with the force. "Relations are tense despite what you hear." Gabe Kaimowitz At-Large City Commission candidate Lastly, Kaimowitz said at the forum that although he is 70-years-old, he has never seen a community in which the leading spokesperson is a police officer, noting that the situation leaves room for distortion and crass conclusions without supportive data. On the other hand, candidate Rob Brinkman, whose platform priority is a healthy community for children, proposed prevention as the solution to Gainesville's public safety issues. He said there are 2,400 inmates released annually from the prison located in Starke, about 30 minutes away from the heart of Gainesville, and that many of them head back in to Alachua County. "There has to be a better way," he said. He said he also agrees with prevention programs aimed at juveniles that intend to deter them from prison. Bryant, who states that his platform is stronger and safer neighborhoods, also discussed juvenile issues. He told listeners about the success of Teen Zone, an afterschool program designed to prevent juvenile crimes during the afternoon hours between the end of school and before parents return from work. "Public safety is job No. 1," Bryant said, touting his record of supporting an increase in budget for the Gainesville Police Department. He was present when the commission allocated 275 laptops to patrol vehicles with the intention of preventing them from making trips back to the station, keeping them in neighborhoods because they can verify information in their vehicles. McGraw, who prides herself on her community and social service participation that dates back more than 10 years, also is a proponent for increasing public safety. "It's an important issue all across town," McGraw said, adding her concern that implementation of any programs be done equitably across Gainesville, as well as addressing homelessness and poverty. dict drew laughs as he read about the worst job he ever had, a fat bat that flew into his bedroom and a performance art piece that involved killing a cockroach. "I'm guilty of going for the yuks with the prose pieces," he said. Carroll is best known for "Diaries," which was made into a movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio in 1995. Reading from one essay entitled "A Day at the Races," Carroll depicted a time he and his girlfriend found they had contracted genital crabs. "I felt hygiene deficient," he read. Cleaning themselves of the parasites, he said his girlfriend saved a few of them in the jar and then raced them. "God, what a woman," he read, "who can turn an ailment into a viable recreation." Carroll's performance also featured the poem "Facts," which included some statements that were true. "Others are facts that I made up," he said. For example, the poem he read described the static electricity that can be generated by dragging a large cat for 16 hours across a shag carpet. Danielle Truscio, a UF history student, attended the event with her brother. "I really enjoyed the prose, personally. Very intriguing. Very funny," -she said. She added she felt as though Carroll interacted with those in attendance. "I liked how personal he was with the audience," she said. The Reitz Union Board's RUB Week sponsored the event. ELECTIONS 2005 Mayor talks to Student Senate By IVETTE MENDEZ Alligator Writer imendez@alligator.org Contrary to what vying Student Government parties Gator and Impact may lead students to believe, SG cannot change local ordinances without city approval. Gainesville Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan spoke at Tuesday night's Student Senate meeting to inform students about the importance of their involvement in local government. The final say in issues such as bar and club closing times and roam towing rates do not come from UF's Student Government, or its administration for that matter, she said. Those decisions lie in the hands of Gainesville's seven City Commissioners, three of whom are up for re-election March 29. "It certainly does affect you while you are here," Hanrahan said. Last year, the mayoral election that eventually -put Hanrahan in -office took place during UF's Spring Break. Students and faculty are a big constituency, making up about half of Gainesville's population. Hanrahan "in Gainesville, you have to get 50 percent plus one to win," Hanrahan said. "I had to go to a runoff because it was Spring Break tine." One difficult part of being mayor, she said, is that she cannot say whom she supports in the upcoming election. Her position makes Hanrahan a member on the city's Canvassing Board, which tallies ballots. "I'm not taking a position this election," Hanrahan said. It's tough because whoever gets into office has a huge impact, she said. To show students whether they are eligible to vote in the District 2 or 3 race -the At-Large seat can be voted on by any resident of Gainesville -Hanrahan brought a city map with the electoral districts delineated. "I am in District 4, which is not up for re-election at this time," Hanrahan said, dodging the question of her vote for this election. She said she wants students to take part in making UF a better school, to make UF a Top 10 public research university so degrees earned here would be worth more in the job market, Hanrahan said. "Both Gainesville and the university have that goal," she said. .The mayor ended by emphasizing the changes students can make in government.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 5 Dance Marathon kicks in By LINDSAY PETER Alligator Contributing Writer The 11-day countdown to the 11th annual Dance Marathon began with line dancing on Turlington Plaza on Tuesday. Between classes, morale captains -students in charge of spirit events and.choreography -performed last year's line dance to a medley of songs. "We keep the new line dance secret until the day of, to teach the dancers at the actual event," said Ashley Barwig, public relations chairwoman for Dance Marathon. Dancing in the plaza will be held again March 31 in an effort to raise awareness and get students interested in participating. "Our goal is to get people who did Dance Marathon last year to join in," said Whitney Walker, a morale captain. Dancing will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m., 12:35 a m. to 12:50 p.m. and 1:40 p.m. to 1:55 p.m. Dance Marathon's kickoff rally will be held at the Downtown Commurrity Plaza from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on March 29. Approximately 10 organizations will be judged on their-lip sync performances. The top three lip syncs will be performed at Dance Marathon on April 2. An evening fund-raiser will be held at the Cold Stone Creamery locations on Archer Road and Newberry Road on Saturday. 'Our goal is to get people who did Dance Marathon last year to join in." Whitney Walker Dance Marathon morale captain A "Because You Dance" banner will be set up for signing in Turlington Plaza from March 30 to April 1 to allow anyone the opportunity to write notes of appreciation or encouragement. The banner will be hung at Dance Marathon in the Stephen C. O'Connell Center. "This is really about getting the campus excited and showing the dancers how much we love them and appreciate them," Barwig said. April 1, the day before the event, dancers will be able to bring their Gator 1 cards to Turlington Plaza and pick up free goodie bags and Domino's Pizza. Professor advances PC By KEELEY MCCARTY Alligator Contributing Writer A UF engineering professor is using the concept of ordered chaos to develop a new computer prototype. William Ditto, chairman of the UF biomedical department, used the roulette wheel as an example of chaos. Where the ball lands on the wheel seems random, but careful observation reveals patterns behind the results. Ditto said his prototype has the potential to be faster, cheaper and easier to build, with fewer constraints than today's personal computer. "I don't know how often you get a chance to recreate the personal computer," he said. Ditto and colleague Sudeshna Sinha started research for the project in 1998. The first chips to possess the chaos technology were created abput one year ago, and Ditto estimated it will take another three years until a computer prototype is available. In today's PC, the motherboard -the circuit board that controls the computer -is sectioned off into groups of specialized chips. The elements of the chaos motherboard have the potential to perform the tasks each specialized chip in a normal motherboard can do, said Aris Miliotis, a biomedical engiU F neering graduate stuResearCh dent who is helping Ditto with research. "Instead of everybody being specialized, everybody can do everyone else's job," Ditto said. The versatility of the chaos elements allows them to be used where they are needed at any point in time, rather than being limited by specialization. Though obstacles still lie ahead, such as developing an operating system to run the new computer, Ditto said he is hopeful for the project's success.

6, ALLIGATOR U WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2005 E d itornal Elections' end Students have one last opportunity to speak up fter all the rumors of dirty politics, all of the extensive Alligator coverage and all of the just plain madness today finally is the last day of voting for Student Government executive positions. At this point, all arguments have distilled into two opposite sides. One, which includes the Alligator and the more student-access-oriented candidates, says students must vote if they want to be fairly represented in SG_ The other, which includes the general attitude of the student body and is encouraged by SG elitists, holds that everything already is predetermined, and there is nothing students can do to change it. All we have to say is that students have as much power as they want to take it upon themselves to acquire. The numbers speak for themselves. Less than 20 percent of the student body voted. No party received 50 percent of the vote in the elections. No party demonstrated enough support from the student body to claim control of SG outright. So, the students have a choice. And make no mistake: It is the students' choice. We receive countless complaints that students aren't being considered; that SG members are spending student money for their own gain or for the benefit of those who patted their backs along the way; and that the administration is making decisions that affect the students without letting the students have a say. Students roll their eyes and say, "That's SG for you" any time the Alligator runs a story about another SG organization whose leadership positions have been pawned off for political favors. If so many of the students are disgusted with the way SG works, then surely more than 20 percent of them can spare the five minutes it takes to vote. Isn't it worth those few minutes to be able to have a say in what goes on at your university? Isn't it worth it to be able to say that you helped to make things better? It's a sad state of affairs.when so many answer "no" through their actions. But there still is one last chance for those who decide they want to make a difference. It's infinitely better late than never. We have made it clear that we support the Impact Party, and that we feel the student body must as well if they are going to maintain and continue the advances in student access that have been so hard-won over the past year. If students do not go out and vote for the candidates that will represent them, don't be surprised if these advances disappear. Don't be surprised if legacy positions are solidified. Don't be surprised if Diane Kassin, a communty affairs cabinet director of the Black Student Union -the organization whose members abruptly jumped ship from Impact hours before the slating deadline -happens to become Student Senate president after the elections. Don't be surprised if this is just the tip of the iceberg. In short, don't be surprised if everything you expect of SG continues to happen -business as usual. It would be business as usual, but it doesn't have to be that way if students are willing to step up. If students vote, they easily can elect any candidate whether it's the representatives of the minority or the majority. If students don't vote, then the naysayers are right: There's nothing students can do if they aren't willing to do anything.

Opinions ALLIGATOR www.aIIigator.org/opinions '----A Lanj of t E Real issue is right to refuse treatment erri Schiavo's death would be a tragedy. But anyone who says the Schiavo case is about the "right to die" or the "right to life" isn't being honest. It's about the right to refuse treatment. -We preserve that right for Jehovah's Witnesses, Cliristian Scientists and others who object to certain medical practices. As we forge ahead with stem cell research, nanotechnology and cloning, expect to see many others who opt out of certain "treatments." Assuming that Schiavo's husband is telling the truth, and that she truly wished not to be kept alive artificially, we must respect those wishes. To do otherwise is to revoke the basic human right to self-determination. Whatever our religious beliefs, we recognize that the law should not be used to enforce those beliefs upon others in this private situation. To do so would be to create the "nanny state" that conservatives so despise and subject ourselves to the tyranny of the majority in the name of personal beliefs rather than the public good. None of this is to say that the branches of government should not intervene, erring on the side of life if there is any doubt as to Schiavo's intent. Nor is it to say that those who believe refusing treatment is a sin should not work to create social change, urging others not to exercise their right to do so, while respecting the validity of that legal right. It's certainly not to say Schiavo's life isn't valuable or that her death isn't tragic. For my part, though, I don't know what Schiavo wanted -only she, her husband and God can truly know. Nor is there any great certainty in my soul that refusing treatment is a sin. All I can do, then, is to pray -for Schiavo, for her husband, for her parents, for the lawyers and judges and legislators, for the citizens on all sides of the debate, for forgiveness and reconciliation -and encourage everyone to put their wishes in writing, so these painful situations can be made less rancorous and divisive. Gavin Baker Close to Home gbaker@alligator.org But if you will permit me, dear readers, I'd like to mention some similarly tragic deaths: Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Ted Bundy and Timothy McVeigh. All were executed by the United States -the Rosenbergs in 1953, Bunidy in 1989 and McVeigh in 2001. And they're not alone: 956 people have been executed in America since 1976, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. However, the United States is somewhat alone in the world in the use of the death penalty. Abolition is required to join the European Union. Of the Group of Eight (G8) countries, the coalition of the world's leading industrialized nations, only the United States and Japan practice executions. Religious groups that oppose the death penalty include Baptists, Methodists, Catholics, Episcopalians, Jews, Quakers, Mormons, Presbyterians, Lutherans. you get the idea. While the "pro-life" movement protests Terri Schiavo's right to refuse medical treatment, our government continues to execute criminals. Which is more heinous: an individual personally refusing medical treatment-or the government killing in our name? Or is your life not valuable if you've committed a crime? Yet those "sticking up" for Schiavo are the same people who defend capital punishment. Conservatives believe we ought to keep our laws out of private affairs. Christians believe in life, even for criminals. How come "conservative Christians" do neither? Gaviii Baker is a historyfreshnand. His cohlonn appears oi Wednesday.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 7 Students shouldn't expect UF to pay fee Editor: It's amazing that reactionagainst the $50 SEVIS fee charged by UF for international students is being couched in terms of it as being racist. I assume that every international student is being levied this fee regardless of their race, whether they are a pale-skinned Scot.or a dark-skined Polynesian. As for the fee being unfair to foreign students, life is not fair. If you don't like the fee, don't come to the United States. There is no inherent human right to any university in whichever country you please. I admit that I say these things being in the privileged position of having been born a citizen of the United States. But my parents were immigrants; my father was a foreign graduate student like so many of the foreign students now attending this university. My parents are the people I admire the most in this world. My father provided for a young family of four, having to feed, clothe and buy all other necessities on less than $100 a month after paying rent -remember babies and young kids are expensive -less than the $100 SEVIS fee charged by the U.S. goverunent. Personally, I would prefer that the university find money in the budget to pay the fee for international students. But, as it is, the university is paying half the fee. If an international student is unhappy about that, then I suggest that they may return to their home country and whine there. Let another foreign student who is willing to work hard take their place. Mark Ou UF alumnus Column on Schiavo case got facts wrong Editor: As a political scientist and as a journalist, the author of the column the Alligator printed Monday regarding the Terri Schiavo dilemma showed remarkably little concern for the facts of the case. His disregard for the legal system of the country is even more worrisome. Schiavo has been declared to be in a persistent vegetative state by several state -and appellate courts. Several doctors who have examined her have determined that she would not significantly benefit front rehabilitative therapy. Since she is not competent, all decisions regarding her medical care are the responsibility of her legal guardian: her husband, Michael Schiavo. The U.S. Supreme Court decided that it is a protected right of an individual to deny medical treatment. Let's not throw around the phrase "It just feels wrong" or "I believe." Specifically stated in the Constitution is the rule of thumb that, if an issue is not resolved in -that document, the decision is to be left up to the governments of the states. It is inappropriate and unheard of to continuously violate the Constitution on the grounds that something "doesn't feel right." Let's hear some facts and a few less emotional knee-jerk outcries.

8, ALLIGATOR 0 WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2005 Letters to the Editor Alligator should be ashamed of cartoon Editor: Prior to Monday's Alligator, I always had been impressed with your newspaper. Sometimes I thought-the articles were too one-sided, but the next day there would be some that swayed me back to middle ground. That all changed when I opened up to Page 6 and saw a caricature of Matt Walsh with tears beading down his face in the form of the word "Choke." I am embarrassed. I would be ashamed if I were the editor of the paper. I know that when an athlete takes the court, they always are open for praise and for criticism; that all is part of the job. What you have done is bush-league. Matt Walsh would do anything humanly possible to will his team to victory. He is one of the gutsiest players ever to wear a Gators uniform -a player who leaves it all on the court every game he plays. I am disappointed in your decision to run that caricature. You show more respect for a young man who dives for loose balls and makes defensive stops time and time again. Martin Salamone Marketing Director, University Athletic Association m EUm Walsh was accurately parodied in paper Editor: Andy Marlette's depiction of Matt Walsh's sobbing face captured Walsh's main weakness: his drama.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 9 LOCAL COURTS Looney back in court after mistrial UF sophomore aids inldebate By JEFF SIRMONS Alligator Writer isirmons@aligator.org There was no debate as to what Brianna Coikley wanted out of college. As a senior in high school, she visited colleges and immediately spoke with their debate team coaches. "I knew I wanted to debate," Coakley said. "Even though I never did it, I just knew it was for me." Now, Coakley, a sophomore, is on UF's national debate team because of her quick thinking and will to succeed. "I was able to conceptualize my opponent's argument and could pinpoint their weaknesses," she said. "I knew then that we would win the debate, and when On I spoke, everything poured out just right. And CaMPUS we won." Her success has helped propel UF to Gonzaga University, where it is now competing with 77 other teams for the national championship. "Very rarely would you have a novice debater debating with experienced veterans," debate coach Frank Irizarry said. "That's like starting a freshman quarterback with no high school experience in college. You just don't do that." But because of several letdowns from more experienced debaters, Irizarry placed the burden on Coakley, who, he said, has gone far past expectations. "We put Brianna in quite a situation, and she's done quite well," Irizarry said. Coakley and partner Morgan Weinstein are in the national championships for the first time together, and represent UF there for the second time in three years after not competing since the early 1970s. "We're just trying to make a name for ourselves and reemerge as a powerhouse," Weinstein said, recalling UF's storied debate program history, which includes two secondplace finishes, in 1947 and 1954. By MEGAN V. WINSLOW Alligator Writer mwinslow@aligatorcom Forensic Investigator Lorenzo Davis was off duty the night of April 15, 2003 when' a phone call summoned him to the little white house at 215 NE 44th St. By the time Davis arrived, the property was swarming with Alachua County Sheriff's Office detectives, who directed him to a small utility shed in the backyard. Within a trash can were the remains of James Ralph Looney. According to the Medical Examiner's Office, they had been there for more than six months, and it was Davis' responsibility to sort through the trash can and classify its contents, beginning the long road to a courtroom in the Alachua County Criminal Courthouse where James' brother, Terrance Lee Looney, sat in the defendant's chair. The second round of opening arguments, after a mistrial last month, was heard Tuesday in the trial of Looney, a Gainesville inan charged with second-degree murder. Witness and Looney's criminal record indicated the brothers, who lived together in their childhood home, hadha strained relationship. Two days before Christmas in 2000, Looney, 42, attacked his brother with a tree limb and broke James'leg, which led to his conviction for felony battery. Looney's probation ordered him to stay away from James. Nevertheless, on routine visits to the Looney home, officer Robin Pryor repeatedly found the brothers still living together, and in 2002, Looney was arrested. Upon release, Looney once again returned to live with James. James, 47, an electrician employed at a construction site on UF's campus, went on a weeklong paid vacation Sept. 13, 2002. However, when he failed to return to work ten days later, his employer mailed his last paycheck to the Looney residence. Inquiries concerning James' whereabouts failed to return any leads. According to witness testimony, at times Looney said his brother inoved to High Springs and at other times, to Jacksonville. "The state will tell you that Terrance Looney killed his brother, folded him up and just put him in shed on their own property, but their evidence is inefficient." Matthew Wells Attorney for Terrence Lee Looney Looney allegedly told Pryor when she questioned him that James moved to Tampa. On April 15, 2003, months after James is said to have disappeared, a foul odor stemming from the Looney property attracted the attention of a neighbor. She was the one to first discover the remains of .James in a standard-issue Gainesville Regional Utlities trash can inside the shed.

The last photo was presented to Davis alone. When questioned, Davis paused, sighed and said he recognized it. As members of the jury examined it, they tried to turn the print as if to establish a reference point, to determine if they were holding it correctly. Taken from an angle directly above the mouth of the trash can, the photo depicted its gruesome contents. However, Looney's attorney Matthew Wells said facts are weak. "The state will tell you that Terrance Looney killed his brother, folded him up and just put him in shed on their own property, but their evidence is inefficient," Wells said. Among the evidence Wells questioned is the exact date of James' death, maintaining that James could have been strangled anytime between September and April, and that it is very likely that his client was incarcerated at the time. Nevertheless, witness testimony Tuesday revealed that after his brother's disappearance, Looney cashed his brother's paycheck, wore his brother's clothes and pawned his brother's tools just days after James is alleged to have disappeared. The pawnbroker who made the transaction testified that he questioned the man who sold the items. According to the prosecution,*the signature of the seller is Terrance's. "This case, is driven by detail, not by doubt or speculation," prosecutor Jeanne Singer said. S.G. Sponsored Event & I Find 9 special. Advertise in The Alligator classifieds. a -373-FEND F URits A

10, ALLIGATOR E WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2005 Bill /ets offended students sue FREEDOM, from page 1 "Some professors say, 'Evolution is a fact. I don't want to hear about Intelligent Design (a creationist theory), and if you don't like it, there's the door,"' Baxley said, citing one example when he thought a student should sue. Rep. Dan Gelber, D-Miami Beach, warned of lawsuits from students enrolled in Holocaust history courses who believe the Holocaust never happened. Similar suits could be filed by students who don't believe astronauts landed on the moon, who believe teaching birth control is a sin or even by Shands medical students who refuse to perform blood transfusions and believe prayer is the only way to heal the body, Gelber added. "This is a horrible step," he said. "Universities will have to-hire lawyers so our curricula can be decided by judges in courtrooms. Professors might have to pay court costs -even if they win -from their own pockets. This is not an innocent piece of legislation." The staff analysis also warned the bill may shift responsibility for determining whether a student's freedom has been infringed from the faculty to the courts. But Baxley brushed off Gelber's-concerns. "Freedom is a dangerous thing, and you might be exposed to things you don't want to hear," he said. "Being a businessman, I found out you can be sued for anything. Besides, if students ar& being persecuted and ridiculed for their beliefs, I think they should be given standing to sue." During the committee hearing, Baxley cast opposition to his bill as -"leftists" struggling against "mainstream society." "The critics ridicule me for daring to stand up for students and faculty," he said, adding that he was called a McCarthyist. Baxley later said he had a list of students who were discriminated against by professors, but refused to reveal names because he felt they would be persecuted. Rep. Eleanor Sobel, D-Hollywood, argued universities and the state Board of Governors already have policies in place to protect academic freedom. Moreover, a state law outlining how professors are supposed to teach would encroach on the board's authority to manage state schools. ."The big hand of state government is going into the universities telling them how to teach," she said. "This bill is the antithesis of academic freedom." But Baxley compared the state's uniSobel versities to children, saying the legislature should not give them money without providing "guidance" to their behavior. "Professors are accountable for what they say or do," he said. "They're accountable to the rest of us in society All of a sudden the faculty think they can do what they want and shut us out. Why is it so unheard of to say the professor shouldn't be a dictator and control that room as their totalitarian niche?" In an interview before the meeting, Baxley said "arrogant, elitist academics are swarming" to oppose the bill, and media reports misrepresented his intentions. "I expect to be out there on my own pretty far," he said. "I don't expect to be part of a team." House Bill H-837 can be viewed online at owwwflsenate.gov. College Democrats endorse Impact Party, as College Republicans disapprove SG, from page I tion as his second chance since he did not vote last week. Trying to break through the gauntlet of Turlington Plaza's pressuring campaigners was also a source of voting motivation for some. "I didn't even know there was another election this week until I saw all of these people out here," UF senior Paul Perrin said. "I thought, 'Wasn't this over last week?"' Eleventh-hour endorsement UF College Democrats President Stephanie Sims said its editorial board decided to endorse the Impact Party since the Student Senate races, which included College Democrats who slated with three parties, ended last week. "With the runoff election, there's really too much at stake to not take a stand one way or another," Sims said. UF College '_ Republicans Chairman Hunter Williams, who unsuccessfully ran for a Senate seat with the Impact Party, said he felt the move made by the College Democrats was inappropriate. He added that the College Republicans did not make an "I figured I might as well have my voice heard." Matt Pensky UF student endorsement of Impact when he ran for Senate. "Student Government is a very different animal from national politics," Williams said. "The same distinctions don't necessarily apply when it comes to Student Government."

Faculty parking decal prices will increase by a higher percentage than student prices TRUSTEES, from page 1 on Florida Driver's licenses, which are printed on an additional layer of plastic, he said. "The hologram creates that type of product that makes it difficult to counterfeit," he said. Eventually, the card might also'be changed to include the new logo UF branding consultants recommended to the trustees Tuesday Morgan said. ID Card Services also have added a new system that allows students to instantaneously transfer money from their debit or credit card to their Gator 1 Card from any computer. Six kiosks were added to the campus in August and offer students places to transfer their funds. Two are in the Reitz Union food court, as none of the restaurants accept debit or credit cards. Others appear at Little Hall, the Gator Diring Services office and the Gator 1 Card office in the UF Welcome Center. Thus far, students have made approximately 3,000 transactions on campus and approximately 15,000 elsewhere. The purpose of the venture is to save students money, Morgan said. If campus food vendors took debit and credit cards, he said, the cost of that implementation would be rolled over to the consumer. Housing rates jump Students living ii the majority of dorms next year will pay $75 more each semester for housing. Students in the two newest dorms, Lakeside Residential Complex and Hume Hall, will pay only $50 more a semester. In both cases, the $50 will go toward building maintenance and increased utility costs. The additional $25 charged to resiUF dents of older dorms will go to special Administration projects and capital improvement, such as the ongoing renovation of Murphree Hall to add air conditioning and revamp its operational systems. "If you're good stewards of your buildings, you'll have a plan in place for each of the buildings," said Sharon Blansett, spokeswoman for the Division of Housing and Residence Education. Diamond Village, which houses mostly graduate students and families, underwent a $15 million renovation last year. Murphree should be ready for students to move in next Fall. The new rates allow for utilities costs, which have risen 3 to 5 percent, and personnel costs, including a 2.5 percent raise for salaried staff and a dollar increase in the minifnum wage. The rental rates represent a 3 to 4.5 percent increase over this year, which is a little lower but fairly consistent with years past. Housing rental rates have increased an average of 6.15 percentage points each year since 1998. Students given decal 'bargain' Student parking decal prices are increasing approximately 4 percent to help pay for the upkeep of parking facilities, such as elevator replacement, repainting and utility bill increases, Morgan said. However, some other decals for faculty and staff are increasing a little more to help pay for the same maintenance, including medical resident reserved area decals, which are increasing by more than 6 percent. "Students are getting a real bargain," Morgan said. "I don't think they're paying their fair share for what they use or what they do." But students also pay a Transportation Access Fee, which is charged to them through tuition and is calculated by the amount of credit hours taken. That fee was increased in December. The Transportation Access Fee mostly pays for buses and off-campus transportation, Morgan said. Raising the price of decals is really the only way to pay for inflation and maintenance, he said. "There's not many more areas for money to come from, unless we want to double parking fines," he said.

ALLIGATOR WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2005 www.alligatorSports.org a unable to cool ators' bats By FARZAD SAFI Alligator Writer fsafi@alligatar.org A hge sixth inning and a punctual delay were all the Gators needed to end Central Florida's two-game winning streak over UF. The game was delayed after -a four-run sixth inning put the Gators ahead for good after a tied affair. UF won 17-6 over UCF thanks to offensive bursts and effective pitching by senior Connor Falkenbach and junior Darren O'Day. "It's interesting to see how a club responds to the rain," Coach Pat McMahon said. "I know it's funny, but we practice for the rain in the fall. It's important to persevere no matter what." The Golden Knights appeared early on as if they would make it three in a row over UP. Freshman right-hander Bryan Augenstein struggled and was pulled by McMahon after 2.1 innings. "Bryan faced a great offensive ballclub," McMahon said. "He has a great, strong arm and was throwing it in the strike zone. "As a freshman, he just needs to learn to back off. He has a great career ahead of him, though." The youmg pitcher lost a chance at his first collegiate win, giving up three runs over the span of 37 pitches. "Bryan didn't have a great night," Falker" ach said. "He needs to just put this behind him and move on." UCF junior right-hander Taylor Cobb had his way over the first three innings, holding the Gators to two hits. Meanwhile, the Golden Knights' offense got in three runs before Augenstein was pulled. McMahon put in right-hander Falkenbach, who immediately righted Tim Casey / Alligator Pitcher Bryan Augenstein gave up three runs in 2.1 innings in UF's 17-6 win against Central Florida. the ship. Falkenbach denied UCF any runs over the three innings he was on the mound: "I didn't panic when I was put in," Falkenbach said. "I knew it was only a matter of time until we scored some runs. My job was just to keep the game close." SEE BASEBALL, PAGE 20 MEN'S AND WOMEN'S TRACK AND FIELD UF hopes for more success as outdoor season begins Track and field season officially starts this week with the largest track event in the Southeast, the 62nd annual Florida Relays, held at UF's Percy Beard Track. The meet will feature collegiate and high school teams from across the nation. Competing teams include current NCAA women's champion Tennessee, Miami, South Carolina, Arkansas and Louisiana State. "The Florida Relays is a fun meet," said women's coach Tom Jones. Candice Scott, who holds the collegiate record in the weight throw, will be in her home country of Trinidad and will not compete. The meet will also be a chance for thrower Rachel Longfors to 'compete in her primary event, the discus, which isn't offered during the indoor season. "This weekend is going to be interesting," Longfors said. "I'm excited for the Jones discus, extremely excited. But I also can open up well in the hanmer too." The junior holds the UF record in the discus, and took eighth place in the weight throw at the NCAA championships. "We have a lot of great high school kids coming into compete also," Jones said. "A lot of the top talented kids in the state are going to be here, which gives us the opportunity to look at them, but also gives every school that's here the chance to look at them, too." The meet starts March 23 at 10 a.m. with the women's heptathlon. -CHUCK BAER It's a difficult task to get re-focused for a new season after breaking collegiate and world records, but that's the way it works for Kerron Clement and the rest of the UF men's track and field team this week. .Being a track athlete has just as much to do with endurance as it does with speed.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 19 Jot do e yt Lochte craves NCAA title By BRIAN STEELE Alligator Writer They saw it from the beginning. When most children first jump into a pool, they are simply trying to make a thundering splash with a tight-knit cannonball. UF junior swimmer Ryan Lochte; however, had different plans as a kid. "At his first meet, we knew he had capabilities to swim fast," said his mother, Ike Lochte. "How far he took it was up to him. It was very natural; he just jumped in and went." Now, two Olympic medals, 11 All-American honors, several world record times and countless other awards later, Lochte looks to add something else to his trophy case on Thursday: an NCAA championship. While being the leader of a team trying to win its first national championship in over 20 years would put overwhelming pressure on many, head coach Gregg Troy knows Lochte better than that. "He is mentally extremely tough," Troy said. "He likes challenges. I think his competitiveness brings his teammates up. He really enjoys racing and thrives on pressure. With that and a great work ethic, it's hard not to be successful." Ike Lochte agrees and has never seen her son fazed by any surroundings. "He doesn't let the pressure get to him," she said. "He doesn't think about swbmning until it's time to swim."Loc He has a goal and When he first just goes after it. He is a fun-loving hard worker, and now an Olympian. His goals may be different, but I don't think he's changed as a person; he's still the same." Even though many would feel content with two Olympic medals around their neck in addition to countless other awards and records, Ryan Lochte does not exactly have the same sentiments. "I'm satisfied, but at the same time I'm not," Lochte said. "My expectations for myself are a lot higher. I know that I've trained harder than most people and that helps me. I'm taking one meet at a time, and right now it's NCAAs. [Winni.ng a national championship] is always something we've talked about. Our team this year is a lot better; we've trained harder, we're getting along better than ever before." Lochte's goals may seem high to anyone else, but according to him, they are very reasonable. He has some choice words and gestures for those who would tell him he was aiming too high. "I'd probably give them the finger," Lochte said. "I'd throw in a couple of cuss words at them too. I guess everybody has their own opinion, but I know what I'm capable of doing." It's impossible to deny that Lochte is reaching a new level, with swimmers from other teams asking for pictures with him in the middle of meets. Even with this publicity, Lochte remains stable. "In a way, [the pictures and publicity] help because I don't get nervous or bothered," Lochte said. "It just takes my mind off most of the stuff. It's fun." Ever since first recruiting Lochte, the coaching staff has had high expectations for him. When Lochte broke records at the conference meet, Troy was asked if he was surprised at Lochte's performance. He responded with a simple "No." hte] is obviously one of the beSt at got here, we set up .g,a and went f He makes the exceptional normal.' -GreggTroy, Men'sVswm "He is obviously one of the best athletes," Troy said. "When he first got here, we set up goals and went for those. He makes the exceptional normal." However, Lochte's mother knows that despite her son's athletic gifts, the coaching staff has been Matt Marriott / Alligator Staft Eleven-time All-American and Olympic gold medalist swimmer Ryan Lochte watches his Gators teammate Darian Townsend finish the last leg of the men's 400-yard medley relay. Lochte has two Olympic medals. one of the greatest contributors to his success. "Troy has always been upfront with him," she said. "Him achiev-ing a lot of his goals can be hietes. attributed to the coach'or those. ing. They've been amazing for him." While Lochte says he's the same person he was in his freshman year and that he has not given much thought to all the publicity, that does not mean that it has not affected him. He still feels he has a potentially very long way to go. "There's no way I've reached my peak," Lochte said. "[There are] still a lot of ways to go for me in swimming. In [2008 at-Beijing] I don't just want to make the Olympic team. I want to.get gold medals and be the fastest person in the world. I've got to train hard." Lochte also says his mind is always clear before a race. "A whole lot of nothing [goes on in my mind before,-a race]; I don't really think before my races," Lochte said. "I just go with the flow and am relaxed. I don't pay attention to the race before I get on the blocks." Lochte is aware of the high expectations the public has for him, but when he hits the water, it doesn't affect him. "I know -[breaking Aother record is] what people are thinking," Lochte said. "I don't really care, though. I'm not swimming for them; I'm swimming for myself." Even with a second-place finish to Auburn at the conference meet, Lochte fees that the Gators are now closer than ever to achieving his goal of a national championship. "[Auburn] didn't blow us out of the water like they did last year at SECs," Lochte said. "They know we're going to be gunning for them. I bet Auburn swimmers are scared right now. I know they're scared." He may just be right. GYMNASTICS Tousek returns to glory through UF's ups, downs By DAN TREAT Alligator Writer dtreat@alligator.org A lot has changed in the last three months for the No. 6 UF gymnastics team. The Gators' high score has jumped from 194.45 to 197.2, they've bounced as low as No. 12 and as high as No. 4 in the national rankings and 11 different gymnasts have contributed scoring routines. No one on the team, however, may be a better example of those changes then Chantelle Tousek. The sophomore from Ontario earned first team All-American honors on vault as a freshman, but did not turn in a scored routine for UF in any of this season's first five meets. "It was really frustrating," Tousek said. "I really wanted to put up good scores to help the team, so at the beginning of the year it was frustrating." Coach Rhonda Faehn ranks Tousek as one of the three gyniasts who have improved the most since the beginning of this season, along with Tiffany Murry and Savannah Evans. "[Tousek] wasn't competing for us for probably the -first couple of competitions at least," Faehn said. "And then not really get-. ting into lineup for the first five meets, and then she competed solidly for us and is fighting for three different events right now, but she's doing a great job." Tousek, who can speak English, French, Czech, Spanish and some Russian, came to UF after earning the title of 2003 Elite Ontario and Canadian National vault champion as well as the 2002 Elite Ontario floor exercise title. Her older sister, Yvol-ie, competed for UCLA from 2001-2004 and was the 2001 NCAA uneven bars champion. Tousek has been atTousek tempting routines that are more difficult then the ones that helped her earn eighth place at the NCAA Individual Vault Championships last April, and that may have slowed her re-entering the lineup. "I had to get more consistent with my routines," Tousek said. "I've put in more difficulty this year, so it wasn't that consistent in the beginning, but now we're just working on polislhng and perfecting stuff." Tousek first cracked the balance beam lineup against Auburn, and was thrtt into action on. floor exercise after Orley Szmuch rolled her ankle on a balance beam dismount. Since that time, she has been juggling vault, balance beam and floor exercise, recently scoring a 9.75 -on vault and a 9.825 on floor exercise as part of UF's wins over Pittsburgh and Yale last Friday. 1 "I'm very happy. Right now, I'm in three events, so I'm happy I can contribute my score."

20, ALLIGATOR U WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2005 UFROUNDUP UF continues upward climb against Blue Devils By NATASHA WEINSTEIN Alligator Writer nweinstein@atligator.org It might seem that the No. 15 UFP women's tennis team would hardly oose a threat to No. 7 Duke. Don't be so sure. Coming off a win against tenthranked North Carolina, the Gators ore looking to reclaim their spot at the toikof the rankings. Back-to-back Southeastern Conference losses two weeks ago caused them to drop 13 spots in the rankings. "I don't think we're a 15th-ranked team talent-wise; we just haven't played anybody yet," Coach Roland Thomqvist said. "Bottom line is if we play good tennis, I think we can beat anybody. And the rankings will take care of themselves." The Gators face the Blue Devils at 5 p.m today. "[Duke] has always been one of those teams we've played close," he said. "Every year they find a way to play. their absolute best tennis and we certainly Thornqvist have to be ready for nothing less." The Gators have been spending Davis' seven RBI most for Gators since 2003 BASEBALL, from page 18 The Gators' offense finally got on the board in the fourth when senior centerfielder Jeff Corsaletti brought junior Stephen Barton home. Sophomore second baseman Adam Davis took care of the rest, hitting a three-run home run to put UF up 4-3. "We had a great night as a team," Davis said. "I swung the bat really well and just had a nice time out there." Davis also had three RBI after the delay to give him seven RBI for the night. It was the most for any Gators player since Brian Rose had 7 RBI vs. Florida Atlantic in May 2003. 5 ."UCF had their No. 1 pitcher in there," McMahon said. "They also have a great pitching core. So for our hitters to be that opportunistic is an important lesson for us to learn." Home meet provides early opportunity for UF TRACK, from page 18 is confident and excited about his team's prospects in the outdoor season. "We can be a very well-rounded outdoor team," Holloway said. The Gators return a group headfined by sophomores Clement and Mike Morrison and seniors Kyle Farmer and Josh Walker. The transition to the outdoor facility is welcome. "There's a better atmosphere outdoors," Holloway said. "That's what we train in every day. We're a little more accustomed to being outside than we are inside." Holloway is concentrated on starting the outdoor season well, and the home venue should provide an opportunity for the Gators to make an early impression. "We want to establish some momentum going into the rest of the outdoor season," Holloway said. "We want to put on a good performance for our home fans." As always, the Gators will face fierce competition from familiar foes. "It's the usual suspects -Arkansas, LSU, Tennessee," Holloway said. "Those guys just never seem to go away." -BLAKE BONSACK lots of time on the court improving errors made in weeks prior. "The road to recovery is new territory for our players," Thornqvist said. "There is one way to go about it -get back on the court and work harder." ATHLETES HONORED: UF soccer player Ashley Kellgren and swimmer Justin Zumsteg have been named the 2005 UF nominaBULLPEN, from page 18 as the big, tough, roughneck, countryboy conference, not like the ACC which was kind of the pretty, rich-boy conference." What a difference 16 years can make. Big is now Mississippi State center Marcus Campbell, who would increase his rebounding only if he whiffed a Big Mac on the rim. Tough is 3-pointshooting Vanderbilt, basking in ESPN airtime by making the quarterfinals of the worldrenowned men's NIT. Roughneck is former Georgia coach Jim Harrick, who was so much of a man he brandished his team with bills instead of sprints. tions for the H. Boyd McWhorter Scholar-Athlete Post-Graduate Scholarship. Since 1986, the SEC has presented the award to the league's top male and female scholar-athletes. The conference will name the 2005 recipients of the scholarship on Apri.16 in conjunction with National Student-Athlete Day. -STAFF REPORT Country boy? See Kentucky's Patrick Sparks, South Carolina's Carlos Powell and the entire Ole Miss roster. While all this may seem funny, it's really not. SEC hoops is in trouble. The NCAA Tournament Committee used to need both hands to count the SEC teams worthy of making the Big Dance. Now it's trying to justify giving a bid to a team like Alabama. There still is hope because of the SEC's youth. For now, there's not much left in the Tournament for an SEC fan to root for.
