For Gator Party candidate Joe
Goldberg, hearing his name an-
nounced as the winner of the
Student Body presidency was like a
dream come true.
"We started this campaign
as a team, and we've re-
mained a team the whole
way through."
Joe Goldberg
Student Body president-elect

At 12:05 a.m. Thursday,
Supervisor of Elections Ali Blye
announced Goldberg's win in this
week's runoff election after garner-
ing 53.31 percent of the votes.
Gator's Lindsay Cosimi won the
runoff for treasurer against Michelle
Lightboume of Impact, receiving
53.11 percent of the tally.
Blye first announced Cosimi's
win, and after that, the cheers from
Gator supporters only grew louder.
When Blye matter-of-factly an-
nounced Goldberg's win, the new
president-elect went into a wild

frenzy of hugs with his closest
friends and parents before kissing
his girlfriend.
Ngin nodded silently as the
Gator victories were announced,
bookmarked by ticketmates Robert
Mack and Lightboume.
As Gator Party cheers partially
drowned out Goldberg's announce-
ment, Impact supporters gathered
in a circle around Ngin and silently
raised their index fingers, showing
No. 1 signs.
Several supporters cried and
embraced.
Despite the somber mood among
the Impact supporters, Mack re-
mained pleasant.
"Somebody came down and
hugged me like my dog died,"
Impact's vice-presidential candidate
Mack said. "If my dog died, I'd be
crying."
For Mack, it was the "weirdest
election" he'd ever been involved
in, he said.
Goldberg wasn't allowed the mi-
crophone to give a victory speech but
instead stood on a chair and shouted
so hard he nearly lost his voice.

team, and we've remained a team Tricla Coyne/Alligator Staff

Officials talk insurance


New post proposed


By JEFF SIRMONS
Alligator Writer
jsirmons@alligator.org

TAMPA Students at any Florida
public university may receive free or subsi-
dized health insurance, thanks to the State
University Presidents' Association's support
of the plan Wednesday.
Because some say the state may soon
require students to have health insurance
before enrolling, the 11 universities now
will search for health insurance together, to
achieve lower rates.
"The more people we have, the cheaper
the rates for health insurance are," said the
association chairman and University of West
Florida President John Cavanaugh.
The vice presidents of finance and admin-
istration at each university will work together


to find cheaper health insurance plans that
will fit the needs of their university.
"Each campus may have different benefit
structures already in place, so we will have
to work together to plan out what fits all of
us best," said Ed Poppell, UF vice president
of Finance and
UF Administration,
Administration who did not attend
the event.
Florida International University, for ex-
ample, offers insurance to graduate students,
and its university officials hope this initiative
will enhance the healthcare to undergradu-
ates.
"The more benefits we offer to students,
the better the quality of students we teach
are," FIU Provost Mark B. Rosenberg said.

* MACHEN SEEKS TO IM-
PROVE CAMPUS DIVERSITY.

By STEPHANIE GARRY

smgarry@alligator.org

UF President Bernie Machen
soon will create or bolster a top-
level administrative position
dedicated to improving campus

diversity, bringing diversity issues
to the forefront of his agenda.
After reading a special assign-
ment report on the state of di-
versity at UF, Machen discussed
the recommendations with two
senior vice presidents but decided
to delay action until UF finds its


next provost, the university's
chief academic officer.
"We believe that we need the
new provost before we move on
it," Machen said, adding that
it will be one of the first issues
to come before the provost this
Summer.
This move would represent
Machen's first substantial step
toward improving diversity, an
issue he championed even before
coming to UF a year ago. The
president also sees diversity as
a requirement to UF becoming a
Top 10 public research university.
In 2003, black and Hispanic
professors made up only 6.1

TALLAHASSEE

Pending academic freedom bill comes under fire


By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM
Alligator Staff Writer
jvanl@alligator.org
TALLAHASSEE The pending Florida
House bill that would establish a statewide
code of academic freedom is unnecessary, UF
officials say, because the university already
has significant safeguards in place to protect
student and faculty rights.
UF spokesman Joe Kays said the-universi-
ty's Ombudsman's Office investigates student
and faculty complaints, and helps enforce ex-
isting university policies protecting students
and faculty from political discrimination or re-
taliation concerns bill sponsor Rep. Dennis
Baxley, R-Ocala, cited as reasons for the law.
The Legislature passed a law mandating
colleges and universities to establish similar
offices in 2002. UF had one much earlier.
"We feel that the legislature has already ad-
dressed this issue, and university procedures
already address all the concerns Rep. Baxley
has in his bill," Kays said. "Students are pretty
well-protected."
Baxley recently sent a letter to UF President
Bernie Machen explaining his reasons for
pushing the bill. Kays said Machen received
the letter and is formulating UF's response.


The House Choice and Innovation
Committee approved the bill Tuesday.
UF: Restating the obvious
Bob Jerry, dean of the UF Levin College of
Law, said the language of Baxley's bill restates
principles of academic freedom enshrined in
opinions of the U.S. Supreme Court.
The problem, Jerry said, is that by codify-
ing these principles as Florida statutes, the bill
could have serious consequences.
"It is possible that if this were statutory law,
academic freedom principles that we test and
apply in university and faculty governance fo-
rums could be cited in the courts," Jerry said.
"That would be a very different environment
for all of us and not one that, in my opinion,
would be appropriate."
Those concerns were echoed in a legisla-
tive staff analysis warning that the bill may
allow Florida students to sue their professors
and universities if they feel ridiculed in class,
or if their professors fail to teach "alternative"
theories on controversial subjects.
Making an exaniple
At the Tuesday hearing, an example Baxley
cited of when students should be allowed to
sue is when biology professors teach evolution

as fact, failing to acknowledge Creationism.
UF evolutionary, geneticist Charles Baer
said while he wouldn't mark down students
for not believing in evolution, they would still
be expected to complete course work.
"We're not talking about 4-year-
olds here. Students have critical
thinking ability. If they don't like
what they hear from their profes-
sor, they can ditch it."
Pierre Ramond
UF physics professor

"If I was asking them to write a paper on
one aspect of evolution, and they said they
didn't believe in evolution so they wouldn't
write a paper, they would be marked down,"
he said. "If someone said, 'I don't believe in
evolution, but if I did, this would be what I'd
write,' that would be OK. I'm not going to
flunk someone for not believing in evolution."
Baer said even if he knew he could be sued
he would continue teaching the same way.
"Students should not be ridiculed in class,
and in any context, it's not appropriate, but
some students may be touchier than others,"

Baer said. "What seems as discussion to some
people may seem inappropriate to others."
Who teaches the teachers?
In urging lawmakers to pass the bill, Baxley
said university classrooms have morphed into
"niches of totalitarianism" where leftist pro-
fessors are "dictators who control the indoc-
trinization 6f the next generation."
UF physics professor Pierre Ramond, who
serves as chairman of the Faculty Senate, said
that demeans students' intelligence.
"We're not talking about 4-year-olds here,"
he said. "Students have critical thinking abil-
ity. If they don't like what they hear from their
professor, they can ditch it."
And as far as indoctrinization goes, profes-
sors combat that threat when they ask ques-
tions and force students to think on their own.
Baer said that if students in his class said
they believed in Intelligent Design or another
theory of Creationism, he would ask them
questions in the Socratic method, forcing them
to explain the reasoning behind their beliefs.
According to the UF Faculty Handbook,
university policy maintains full academic free-
dom to discuss subjects frankly, select instruc-
tional materials and determine grades.

ELECTIONS 2005

Candidates offer alternatives to anti-rave ordinance


By BRIAN HAGEN
Alligator Writer
bhagen@alligator.org

Candidates for the Gainesville
City Commission took one more
chance to spell out ideas for the pro-
posed extension of bar closing hours.
If approved, the new ordinance
would mean any liquor-licensed
establishments would stop serving
alcohol at 2 a.m. but would be al-
lowed to stay open until 3 a.m.
The student-heavy Safe and Fair
Entertainment Committee is pro-
moting the change.
In competition for the At-Large
seat are incumbent Rick Bryant and
candidates Diyonne McGraw, Rob
Brinkman and Gabe Kaimowitz.
McGraw, a former parole officer,
supports the change, saying a later
closing time will help keep intoxi-
cated patrons off the streets.
"Ninety-five percent of my case
load was DUIs," she said. "DUIs
stay on your record for 75 years."
After their driving privileges
.were suspended for a DUI convic-






BURN

ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT FOREST FIRES.
A Public Service of the USDA
I Fres Se ic an yor Sat


tion, nine out of 10 of her clients
drove with their suspended licenses,
she said. If caught, they would
spend 10 days in jail.
"It's common sense that later is
better," McGraw said, "because it
could be you or me walking down
that street."
While Bryant
said bars should
not be allowed
to serve alcohol
after 2 a.m., he
reserved judg-
ment on extend-
ing hours until
McGraw he receives cost
analyses and
reports from the Gainesville Police
Department and safety experts.
"The system isn't working,"
Bryant said. "[But] we've got some
real good discussion now."
To improve safety, Gainesville
has added extensive police and staff
coverage downtown, he said.
Kaimowitz suggested specific
alcohol-free alternative activities to
lure people away from bars and give


them alternatives to drinking.
Street musicians and entertainers
could play on blocked-off streets, he
said. Dramatic performances, such
as "American Idol"-style events,
could command audiences.
Brinkman supported the 3 a.m.
closing time and had ideas for the
elimination of noise violations and
underage drinking.
Policy now dictates that police
must ignore many noise violations
at closing time to concentrate on
public safety dangers, Brinkman
said, advocating modernizing the
code enforcement department.
It could become an independent
department, possibly by even put-
ting code enforcers on the streets at
night, writing citations.
Drinkers in Tampa, identified by
bracelets, can buy only one drink
per bracelet at the bar, he said, curb-
ing underage drinking and keeping
excessive consumption at bay as
well as controlling end-of-night al-
cohol abuse, Brinkman said.
GPD will follow the city's wishes
but supports the 2 a.m. closing time,


spokesman Keith Kameg said.
A2.a.m. closing provides an hour
overlap in police shifts, giving the
city twice as many officers on the
streets from 2 to 3 a.m., he said.
GPD has been asked to limit
input on the issue but will provide
a cost analysis of the 3 a.m. closing
to the Gainesville
Public Safety
Committee, he
said.
S University
Police also likes
S the current clos-
ing time but
Bryant has no way of
knowing how
any changes would affect crime
on UF's campus, spokesman Joe
Sharkey said.
"We will deal with the situation
as it's being dealt to us," he said.
UPD now fights alcohol abuse
with education and patrols, includ-
ing officers stationed on the campus
side of University Avenue to watch
for drunk drivers, Sharkey said.
"I don't see why they couldn't


limit this," said Ed Clarke, owner
of Eddie C's Pub & Billiards. "It'd
be cool on weekend nights, but not
seven nights a week."
When Florida lawmakers passed
a bill in 1997 forcing all establish-
ments with liquor licenses to shut
down at 2 a.m., Gainesville chose to
let the party continue by passing no
such matching ordinance.
Gainesville's lack of standardized
closing times for night clubs and
bars attracted both raves and drugs
such as ecstasy and Ketamine.
But it wasn't until two students
died during parties following a
home football victory over the
Tennessee Volunteers that the move-
ment for-a 2 a.m. dosing time in an
effort to curb such partying began.
The proposed change was met
with student protests at City Hall
and a divided Commission.
However, in 1999 establishments
with liquor licenses were officially
mandated to close at 2 a.m. In 2000,
the Commission passed the Dance
Hall Ordinance, which closed even
alcohol-free clubs at 2 a.m.

McGraw brings balance


By STEPHEN MAGRUDER
Alligator Writer
smagruder@alligator.org

On the Gainesville City Commission ballot,
no candidate looks like Diyonne McGraw.
That's because McGraw, a candidate for the
At-Large seat, is the only woman in the race, as
well as the only black candidate.
"I decided to run because I thought
Gainesville needed, for one, more diversity,"
McGraw said. "I think I'm the candidate that
brings the balance."
McGraw noted that the last time a black
woman .sat on the City Commission was
Cynthia Chestnut in 1990 -just before McGraw
moved to Gainesville 14 years ago.
As an only child growing up in Memphis,
Tenn., McGraw became fascinated with politics
at an early age because of her mother's involve-
ment in local campaigns.
"She really surrounded herself with quality
people," McGraw said. "I just followed in her
footsteps."
McGraw moved to .Tallahassee in "1987
to start her freshman year at Florida A&M
University, where she devoted herself to a life of
activism and servitude.
She took part in more than 150 service proj-
ects involving underprivileged children and
feeding the homeless. It's something she still
feels passionate about as the local alumni presi-
dent of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.
The sorority's motto, "Service to all man-
kind," is manifested in McGraw's plans for
Gainesville if she is elected.
McGraw said she plans to empower local


women, children and war veterans all of
whom she said deserve the highest quality of
life possible.
"You have to be fair and remember who you
serve," she said.
McGraw .has several roles outside bf her
candidacy for public office. She's also a realtor,
a mother and a wife, which doesn't leave much
time for anything else.
"There's not a whole lot of time to relax right
now with the campaign," she said. "Sometimes
I just sit in the bathtub and try to relax."
When she's not working, volunteering or
campaigning, McGraw enjoys movies, seeing
her friends, watching college
Elections basketball and spending
2005 time with her husband and
four children.
"They have been so understanding and very
supportive," McGraw said.
As a former resident of East Gainesville,
McGraw said she would like to see the area
developed, which she said continually is left
behind compared to the west side of town.
"There's a great sense of community [in East
Gainesville]," McGraw said. "You can walk out
your door and everybody's like, 'Hey! How you
doin'?'"
Some of McGraw's favorite places to go in
Gainesville are Westside Park on Northwest
34th Street and UF's Ham Museum, both of
which she said her kids.adore.
With an already long history of community
service, McGraw's past mirrors her philosophy
on life.
"I think you're put here on earth to be a
mover and a shaker for others," she said.


Officials say requiring health insurance for students may be in best interest


SUPA; from page 1

comes in stride with Florida's
tentative move to join the major-
ity of states in requiring health
insurance as a prerequisite to enroll-
ment, University of South Florida
President Judy Genshaft said.
"It's in the best interest of the


state that every student have health
insurance," Genshaft said.
Florida State University trustees
are discussing whether to make
health insurance coverage man-
datory for admission, said Anne
Blankenship, assistant vice president
of academic affairs at the university.
This program would not affect
students already insured by their


parents, but rather, it would help
provide coverage only to students
who need it.
Other issues discussed included
the role the Board of Governors, the
body that oversees Florida's public
universities, should have in estab- '
lishing university rules.
The governors will discuss today
a proposal requiring their oversight


of university rule changes, such as
the hiking of student tuition fees.
Under the proposition, the uni-
versity must submit any rule change
to the board. If the board does not
respond within 30 days, the rule
stands. Otherwise, it must work its
way through the board, but Florida
Atlantic University President Frank
Brogan said the drawn out process


could be ineffective.
"That rule would create more
mischief than the original problem
the rule was trying to fix,' Brogan
said. "I understand that the Board
of Governors wants to protect itself
from significant rules being passed
without their interaction, but do
they really need oversee what color
our parking lines are?"

Editorial


Double take

Gator Party wins second

time, takes control of SG
The students have spoken.
Well, sort of.
With the turnout at the polls over the past two .
days being as bad as the weather has been lately, it hardly
can be said that there was a mandate from the students of-
fered to the victor today.
But regardless of that and of any claims of wrongdoing,
Joe Goldberg and the Gator Party will be your Student
Government leaders for the next year.
While there has been plenty of anti-Gator sentiment.
from the Alligator editorial board this election season
- all of it deserved and based on compelling evidence, we
feel there is no point in retreading old grievances.
Instead, we want to congratulate the Gator candidates
on their victory, and offer our hopes and requests for their
tenure in office.
SBut don't take that to mean we've all of a sudden
jumped onto the bandwagon.
We always have maintained that Goldberg and Gator
are the most qualified for office and the most likely to ac-
complish the goals that they have set forth.
We also always have maintained that we have not
been convinced their actual goals remotely resemble the
changes students want and need.
For the students' sake, we hope Gator's claims that it
will offer student access are more than just a campaign
tactic.
If the newly elected Gator members do turn out to be
more respective of what is right for the students, instead
of what is right for themselves, then they have the ability
to do a lot of good during their time in SG.
If they shut down the small increases already made
toward student access, then they equally have the oppor-
tunity to do a lot of damage.
We hope that, no matter what decisions they make.in
terms of representation, they will take into account what is
best for students in terms of policy and bring their experi-
ence to bear in making it happen.
We are not yet writing off this election as a total loss to
the elite minority, and it would be pointless to complain
about abuses of power until we see them in action.
But we cannot help but fear this will be a step backward
to a system we hoped was on its way out.
It is up to our new leaders, then, to prove us wrong
through decisive action.
Prove to us that your concern for the students is genu-
ine by enacting legislation that students support, such as
online voting.
Prove to us that none of the newly.elected Gator can-
didates were selected in order to fill diversity quotas or
as gifts to organizations for electoral support by showing
through their work that they are qualified for the job.
Prove to us that our fears that legacy positions will be
solidified are unfounded by bestowing positions upon
only the most qualified candidates.
Prove to us that rumors of corruption were unfounded
by running the sort of clean, open and honest organization
that is less likely to receive such criticism.
We want to believe you. We really do.
But it's going to take a lot of work on your part.

Opinions


Guest column

Alligator, others ha'
In his article "GAU Slams Fee," Jeff Sirmons makes
the common mistake of conflating the federal Student
'and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) fee
with the international student fee. The Department of
Homeland Security implemented SEVIS, a Web-based
system for maintaining information on international
students while they are residing in the United States, in
response to-the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
International students pay for the cost of operating the
SEVIS system through a $100 fee that must be paid before
international students even can apply for a visa. In addi-
tion to the $100 SEVIS fee and $100 visa fee required by
the federal government, international students at UF are
being charged a $50-per-semester "international-student
fee" to meet the extra demands placed on UF by SEVIS."
. While most universities in Florida have absorbed
these costs into their general operating budget, UF
administrators chose to pass these costs on to their in-
ternational students despite protests and appeals from
Graduate Assistants United (GAU) and the international
student community.
The administration's argument for the international
student fee seems simple when described last semester
by UF International Center Dean Dennis Jett.
"When you have a service provided to students, it is
paid for by the students who use it or by all students or
by taxpayers from Florida," he said. "The position.at the
federal and now, presumably, the university level is that
students who use this service have to pay the fee."
One of the major problems with Jett's rationale is it
implies that only those students who utilize a university
service should pay for it. Under this logic, all services
provided by the Disabilities Service Center should be
paid for only by those students with disabilities, and
Latino students exclusively should pick up the tab for
the Institute of Hispanic-Latino:Cultures.
Fortunately, people realize the value added froni hav-

le SEVIS fee wrong
Victor Romano ing these students and institutions
Speaking Out on campus and are willing to help
fund them. Why should the costs
associated with having international students on campus
be any different? Why should international students be
the only demographic group on campus that has to pay
their own special fee?
Realizing the hefty economic burden placed exclusive-
ly on international students by charging them a $50-per-
semester fee, UF's Student Government passed a resolu-
tion against the fee. Dean Jett has stated that alternatives
to the current fee would "help UF project a more wel-
coming image to international students" at a time when
"we find ourselves competing for international students
as the number of nationwide applicants drops."
GAU, the university's graduate student employee
union, has taken the position that the fee being levied
upon all international students since the 2002-2003 aca-
demic year was imposed illegally and without proper au-
thority. GAU lawyers are in the process of bringing their
case before the Florida Board of Governors for a final
decision. In the meantime, graduate applications and
admissions from abroad steadily have been declining.
If UF President Bernie Machen's vision of making UF
a Top 10 university is to become a reality, administrators
must realize the importance of recruiting and retaining
quality international students. To make itself competi-
tive, UF needs to continue to draw from an international
pool of applicants.
When the very best international research and teach-
ing assistants choose to attend UF, we all benefit. Hence,
it is the responsibility of administrators to make UF as
internationally appealing as possible.
Unfairly charging international students to study and
work here is a step in the wrong direction.
Victor Romano is co-president of Graduate Assistants
United.

Professor bias legislation is hypocritical
Editor. As a Republican, I am appalled
by the legislation that is trying to be passed
about professors. In life, you will have people
that you do not agree with should you be
allowed to sue them? I have had many classes
with professors who lean to the left, and I have
had many debates with them in the middle of
class. If you have a theory and are intelligent,
you should be able to defend yourself. If you
have no basis for your belief, then maybe you
should start to listen and get evidence. In
a country that is fighting a war to save our
freedoms and promote democracy, we look
hypocritical when eroding away the First
Amendment.and the right to free speech.

Turnout dips from last week

shouted.
Goldberg's father Barry made
the plane trip to Gainesville from his
home in Miami for the second time
in a week, he said.
"I'll have to fly in again for the
inauguration," Barry Goldberg said.
Ngin, Mack and Lightbourne
addressed Impact loyalists' a few
minutes after the announcement.
"We gotta continue to be a voice,"
Mack said.
"It wasn't an overwhelming
mandate it was a close election."
A total of 7,740
students voted,
said Blye, who
oversaw ballot
counting until 10:
30 p.m.
The turnout
comprised just
Goldberg 16.13 percent of
the UF student
body, paling by more than 1,400 tal-
lies in comparison with last week's
gerferal election turnout of 9,150.
Unlike last year's Student Body
presidential runoff, which featured
nearly a quarter of the student body
voting, this year saw a surprise dip
from the first week to the second.
After the election, Ngin said life
for him would return to normal.
-"I plan to continue to be active on
this campus, whether or not it's in
SG," Ngin said.
Impact Party president Richard
Rodriguez approached Ngin and
interjected.
"He's sleeping before anything
else," Rodriguez said.
"He hasn't slept in three weeks."


swarmed with more than 200 stu-
dents during last week's general
election announcement, Cupoli said
it broke the maximum legal capacity.
He also said he wasn't about to see
that happen Wednesday.
A total of about 180 wristbands
were given out to ensure the legal
capacity was not exceeded. Both
Impact and Gator received 70 bands
each to distribute among their mem-
bers. Only about 40 were available
for the general public.
Not only is it tradition for elec-
tion results to be announced at the
Orange & Brew at midnight, but it is
also written in the SG statues.
Election winners must be an-
nounced there unless the Brew is
"unavailable"' In that case, a change
in location must be decided a week
before the end of the election by a
vote of student officials.
Gator and Impact expressed dis-
appointment at the decision.
Goldberg said it was not made
clear to him that the announcement
would be made outdoors near the
amphitheater and game room.
Mack said he wasn't pleased at
the last-minute news since Impact
had "well over" 180 volunteers.
Cupoli said the new election
headquarters were "close enough"
to the restaurant so that the change
was not drastic and that if it was not
held outside, Gainesvilld Fire Rescue
could have intervened.
"They think our laws are not
real laws, our courts are not real
courts, our government is not a real
government," said Student Sen.
John Boyles, chairman of the Senate
Judiciary Committee.
Blye said she had no choice but
to announce the results outside per
Cupoli's advice.

"It didn't-surprise me," Machen

real commitment of dollars."
The report had 10 recommenda-

and establishing an office for institu-
tional diversity that reports directly

Machen said he will either create

'Girly' band fights stigma

"We aren't raging girl-powerites, and we

guitarist and co-front woman for local in-
die-folk group redboy.
"We're musicians."
Considering four of the five members
of redboy are in fact female, it's surprising
that the band lacks the "girl power" per-
sona associated with most bands of similar
ratios.
"It's not about girls being better than
boys or vice-versa," Carter says. "We don't
believe the difference in our sexes should
separate us."
Redboy's story began in the summer
of 2003 when Carter met fellow co-front
woman Meredith McCall.
That evening, she dreamt they were in a
band together.
In the dream, her women's studies pro-
fessor said, "Red because we're guilty and
can't conceal it. Boy because we're not, and
we won't become it," giving the band its
name.


"When I woke up, I wrote everything
down," Carter says. "Gradually, Mer and I
began to think it would be a-good idea for
us to play together."
Redboy, which has been playing shows
in Gainesville since October, will be sharing
the stage with Alaco Affair (Indie-acoustic)
and Mercy (solo female acoustic indie)
Saturday at Faces for $5.
. Mercy, also founder of female musician
collective Tomboy Entertainment, is "a very
intimate songwriter, and her voice is beau-
tiful," Carter says.
"Try getting a crowd out to see women
play guitar and you'll understand what I
mean," she says. "It seems like we have to
be twice as good and twice as engaging on-
stage to get the audience to listen."
Redboy's influences range from Nirvana
to Ani DiFranco, making their sound what
best is described as 'a mix.' McCall even
grew up in an acapella church.
"More than anything, we just want
to share our passion with the audience,"
Carter says.

Calling all beer aficionados ... it's
time for the ninth annual Greater
Gator Beer Festival Saturday from
1 to 5 p.m. at a great new location,
Magnolia Parke.
Don't worry about weather condi-
tions putting a damper on your drink-
ing plans. This beer-lover's Christmas
happens rain or shine, so bring an
umbrella or SPF 30 and come soak up
some suds.
The Beer Festival features samples of
hundreds of the world's tastiest beers,
coupled with complimentary food and
music included in the price of admis-
sion.
The festival is similar in structure to
a wine tasting. Patrons are welcome to
enjoy unlimited samples of the brews
and food offered at the event.
Beef O' Brady's, Gator's Dockside,
Hops Restaurant, Kazbor's Sports
Grille, :Gaine-. illk Ale House- and
others comprise the list of restaurants


participating in the celebration.
On past occasions, the festival drew
crowds of 2,500 people and a similar
turnout-is expected this year.
The inaugural Beer Festival was
in 1997 at the Sun Center next to the
Hippodrome State Theater, but it grew
after two years and moved to the
parking lot at 238 W University Ave.,
where it remained for six years.
It has expanded once again, justify-
ing the transition to the new spot at
Magnolia Parke, which boasts room to
accommodate larger crowds.
Advanced tickets are $15 and can
be acquired them at Spin Cycle, CD
Warehouse, Gator Beverage, Kazbor's
Sports Grille, Gator's Dick-*ide Hops
Restaurant 'and Beet O' Brady's.
Entrance at the gate is $20.
The Beer Festival is a fundraiser,
and a portion of the proceeds will ben-
efit WRUF AM/FM at UF. For more
information, call Advertising and
Innovati e Marketing at 407-383-2331.
Slagnolia Parke is situated at4700 NW

HIP HOP

Atmosphere keeps it real, takes beats to new level


atmosphere. And maybe
you don't like us. But of
all the stars in the sky, be-
lieve we're one of the brightest."
From the opening line of 2002's
album "God Loves Ugly," it is
clear Atmosphere believe they are
a force that can't be reckoned with.
How right they are. And they're
-bringing that force to Common-
Grounds tonight.
For years now, the under-
ground hip-hop legends Slug,
Ant and DJ Mr. Dibbs, collec-
tively known as Atmosphere, not
only have turned the heads of
anyone who hears just one beat
or one line, but they also have
caught the attention of the entire


hip-hop community.
Oh, did I mention they're white?
Above the hip-hop underground,
respected white rappers are few and
far between for any number of rea-
sons. The intangible that separates
Slug and Atmosphere from the rest
is an undeniable sense of honesty
surrounding them.
There's nothing fake about the
lines Slug spits.
There's nothing fake about
Atmosphere's in-your-face ap-
proach.
As hip hop becomes more and
more embedded into mainstream
music, passion or any sort of
message has been blinded by dia-
monds and rims. But not Slug and
Atmosphere.


He has
kept his
eyes and
pen fixed
on blank
paper,
Chad Smith creating
Playlist rhymes
theavenue@alligator.org of already
legendary
proportion.
Aside from their sincerity and
pure talent, another weapon in the
Atmosphere arsenal is an eclectic
fan base. From hardcore hip-hop
junkies to skateboarding punks, the
rhyme and reason of Atmosphere is
felt and appreciated by all walks.
A large part of that can be attrib-
uted to the release of Atmosphere's


latest album, "Seven's Travels," on
Epitaph Records, the punk-rock
label that has released seminal clas-
sics from the likes of Bad Religion,
Pennywise and the Descendents.
Sharing the stage with Slug and
company will be Grayskul, the
up-and-coming, -gloomy "rhyme-
fighters" that already have garnered
the praise and support of some of
the hip-hop underground's biggest
names.
Their debut album, "Deadlivers,"
so named to represent both sides of
the world the living and the
deceased features appearances
from Aesop Rock, Abstract Rude
and Mr. Lif.
Grayskul's brand of "rhyme-
fighting" includes comic-book-


esque alter egos apart from their
solo names, Onry Ozzborn, JFK and
bassit Rob Castro.
When they step on stage as
Greyskul, they are Reason, Fiddle
Back Recluse and Phantom.Ghost
El-top, respectively. .
"It's symbolic of being an emcee.
Like when you wake up you're Jeff,
but when you're on stage you're
an emcee. It's like being empow-
ered with a skill," explains JFK,
aka Recluse. "Every emcee is like a
comic book character."
Watch these real-life Clark
Kents turn Supermen tonight with
Atmosphere. You'll get why they're
"one of the brightest."
Common Grounds is situated at
210 SW Second Ave.


Ham project aims to inspire students' inner-muse


BY ALICIA PEREZ
Avenue Writer

Everyone wants to find out who he or
she is. Sometimes, it's even hard to begin
thinking about why we are here and what
constitutes our identity.
Artists throughout the years have ad-
dressed the idea in their paintings and
sculptures. Tonight, students will have a
chance to explore their own identity at -the
Ham Museum of Art.

The second program will be called "Art

'Lullabies' seems a stellar new notch in band's belt


ome bands rock hard. Some
bands are melodic. But few
fuse the two styles quite like
Queens of the Stone Age.
On their latest effort,
"Lullabies to Paralyze," QOTSA
are at the top of their game,
bringing artsy rock, dark and
hypnotic moods, rich epics,
powerful blasts of noise and
even some cowbell all without
founding member/bassist Nick
Oliveri, kicked out of the band
for undisclosed reasons before
recording.
While Oliveri's penchant


for straight-up metal is notice-
ably missing on the album,
lead singer/guitar player Josh
Homme and the rest of the band's
lineup put together a solid record
that is every bit as compelling as
any previous QOTSA release.
QOTSA always has been a re-
volving cast of musicians, which
may help explain how Homme
and company survived the ab-
sence of the integral Oliveri, a
major factor on previous albums.
Like past QOTSA recordings,
"Lullabies to Paralyze" offers
warm vocals and fuzzy guitars


mixed
with




Playlist A 1 1
theavenue@alligator.org com -
bine to
f o r m
one unified sound that invites
listeners to get lost in the shifting
mood.
Homme's lyrics display a su-
preme sense of wit, while drum-


mer Joey Castillo picks up where
Dave Grohl left off on 2002's
"Songs for the Deaf."
Several .highlights on the
album include guest vocalist
Mark Lanegan's (Screaming
Trees) dark and brooding con-
tribution to the gloomy "Burn
the Witch," Homme's ghostly
vocals on the creepy and surreal
epic "Someone's in the Wolf," the
explosive power and steady keys
of "Broken Box" and, of course,
the heavy dosage of cowbell on
the album's first single, "Little
Sister."


It is hard to describe accurate-
ly exactly how so many elements
can fit together so seamlessly.
But nonetheless, "Lullabies to
Paralyze" is a unified album that
flows from beginning to end.
With their new release, Josh
Homme and the rest of QOTSA
prove the normal rules of rock
music do not apply to them, and
they are miles ahead of today's
major radio rockers. Again, while
dark and gloomy, the album also
is beautiful and melodic and defi-
nitely worth listening to over and
over again.

Jury finds local man guilty of murdering his brother


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

It took just under two hours Wednesday
evening for a jury to find Terrance Lee
Looney guilty of the second-degree murder
of his brother.
"We're not surprised by the verdict,"
State Attorney's Office spokesman Spencer
Mann said. "I think if anyone sat and


listened to the evidence, listened to the
closing, it was abundantly clear that Terry
Looney killed his brother."
According to prosecutors, Looney, 42,
strangled his brother James Ralph Looney,
47, in late September 2002, placing his body
in a trash can within a utility shed in the.
backyard of the brothers' childhood home,
where they lived. It would be about seven
months before the body was found.
Throughout the two-day trial, defense


attorney Matthew Wells maintained his
client was in the Alachua County Jail
for a violation of probation when the
defendant's brother was
Skilled. Contradictory wit-
Loc l ness testimony concerning
"-'*CtiuIf when James was last seen
.} alive, which varied from
late September to around
Thanksgiving or Christmas, left room for
doubts to Looney's guilt.


The medical examiner was unable to
determine an exact date of death, and it
is possible that temperature which was
recorded at nearly 80 degrees the night the
body was found could have contributed
to the body's rapid decay, Wells said.
However, a jailhouse confession and oth-
er comments from the defendant also may
have proven damaging for the defense.

story.

Senior relishes in sprints, gives UF different look


By TIM CASEY
Alligator Writer
tcasey@alligator.org

The UF pitching staff sweats
wind sprints every day.
But while most of the pitchers
find the drills grueling, senior
pitcher Mike Pete routinely out-
runs his teammates by 20 yards.
"We always as a school,
and especially the baseball
team have tons of ath-
letes on the All-SEC Aca-
demic team. When we go
perform in the classroom
as well as we do, then go
back it up on the field,
that's exciting."
Mike Pete
UF senior pitcher

His game-day duties are less
taxing, but unforeseen. As a relief
pitcher, Pete never knows when
he'll get the ball.
"A lot of the times; it's not re-
ally much time to warm up," Pete
said. "You could have a -starter
out there doing fine, and then you
have to get loose in two minutes
to be ready to go. It's pretty much


an up-and-down experience out
in the bullpen."
His career has been a roller-
coaster ride as well.
Pete was drafted by the
Chicago Cubs as a senior in high
school with the 1,439th overall
pick in the 49th round.
UF coach Pat McMahon looks
to Pete for leadersh'n because of
his status as one of the team's four
seniors, despite throwing just 17.1
innings in 2004.
"I think that if you asked
Michael about last year, he'd
probably tell you that he was
trying to overthrow a little bit,"
McMahon said.
Pete agrees with that assess-
ment, using his coach's advice to
improve his mid-80's fastball and
12-to-6 curveball.
"I struggled a little bit. I wasn't
getting ground balls," Pete said.
"We had some other guys step
up in those roles. [Pitching] coach
[Ross] Jones and Coach Mac and I
have been working on straighten-
ing that stuff out with my deliv-
ery."
In 2003, Pete recorded the
fourth-best single- season walks-
per-nine innings ratio in UF his-
tory, walking 11 in a career-high
71.1 innings.
In 2004, Pete was named to
the Southeastern Conference
Academic Honor Roll for the sec-

NCAA MEN'S SWIMMING

UF takes strokes toward snapping Auburn's streak


By BRIAN STEELE
Alligator Writer

The bully on the playground no
longer has everyone behind him.
After failing to dethrone Auburn
as Southeastern Conference
champions, the No. 4 UF men's
swimming and diving team will
try again on a bigger stage this
weekend. Today starts the 2005
NCAA Championships, hosted by
Minnesota.
While the Gators know how close
they came to stopping Auburn's
nine-year SEC championship run,
the Tigers' depth became one of the
larger obstacles for UF to overcome.
With a larger number of qualifiers
for the NCAA Championships,


the Tigers' advantage may not be
as clear as before. UF qualified 14
swimmers and diver Zach Wilcox,
while the Tigers are sending 20 to-
tal athletes, just five more than the
Gators.
Even though the numbers gap is
slimmer, the Gators know that their
15 athletes must perform.
"Everyone has got to do their
own part and just race tough," ju-
nior Ryan Lochte said. "I know we
don't have the advantage; we're not
the top team. If we won SECs [then
we may have been the favorite], but
we didn't. There are other teams be-
sides Auburn that have more guys
than us that are going to NCAAs.
It's going to be a good meet."
Coach Gregg Troy sees even


more reasons why the Gators will
improve upon- two consecutive
sixth-place finishes at the NCAA
Championships.
"I think that we're more experi-
enced and more
seasoned," Troy
said. "We have a
better advantage
with our tough
conference.
[Being the under-
dog at NCAAs]
Lochte might take the
pressure off."
Even though the Auburn men
hold a monopoly on college swim-
ming right now, that may not be
to the disadvantage of underdogs
like UF.


"Everyone's not looking at us,
they're looking at Auburn," Lochte
said. "We're just one of the teams
looking for them. Hopefully, we're
going to sneak past them, then."
All it takes is one bad day to
open the door for others. Lochte
knows that the Gators are capable
of coming home with the team's
first national title in 21 years.
"We all feel really confident that
we're capable of winning," he said.
"Anyone can win on any day, so
hopefully it's a Gator day. It's some-
thing Florida hasn't been able to do
in so long, and I think we have the
best chance this year. It'd be awe-
some to win it."
Though Lochte may be earning
more and more publicity, he points


out that he is only one of 15 UF ath-
letes. If the Gators are to come out
on top, it will be because everybody
contributed, not just a select few.
"I don't think I'd be one of the
main components," Lochte said.
"It's a team effort, and everyone
does their own job."
While Lochte may deny that
he is one of the focal points of the
team, his presence and abilities are
certainly a positive attribute. Troy
believes there are other advantages,
too.
"Having as high a profile as
Lochte helps other teams overlook
most of our other guys," he said.
"They use that as a source of moti-
vation. We have more athletes than
Lochte."


Gators regain killer look after squashing No. 7 Duke


* UF DEFEATED ITS SECOND
CONSECUTIVE TOP-10 TEAM.

By MICHAEL MAURINO
Alligator Writer
mmaurino@alligator.org

Occasionally, all the elements line up:
perfect day, perfect conditions and perfect
play.
For the UF women's tennis team, all of
that happened Wednesday night, as the
No. 17 Gators defeated No. 7 Duke 4-0.
The win follows Sunday's victory
against No. 10 North Carolina, capping
a sketch during which UF (8-2, 2-2
Southeastern Conference) faced four
consecutive top-10 teams. After losing to
Vanderbilt and Kentucky to start the run,
the Gators now appear to have reacquired
their killer look.
Coach Roland Thomqvist said he loved
the grit and fight his team displayed.
"I thought we clearly outhustled them,
outworked them, just wanted it more," he
said. "To me, that's worth more than just
hitting well."
Thomqvist, a UNC grad, relishes his
last two wins, especially the one against
Duke.

"I grew up getting ready for these
matches," he said. "It was nice to beat my
alma mater Sunday, but it's twice as sweet
to beat the Duke Blue Devils."
UF relied on its youth Wednesday.
Playing in the sixth position, sopho-
more Nina Suvak defeated Kristin Cargill
6-2, 6-0.
After her win, freshman Whitney Benik
sealed another point with a 6-3, 6-1 win on
court five.
With two matches and the doubles
point in hand, freshman Alex Liles was in
the position to clinch on court three.
Falling behind 4-1 to open the match,
Liles got her timing back and converted
unforced errors into winners. Liles won 11
of the next 12 games, defeating Jenny Zika
6-4, 6-0.
The freshman exhibited confidence on
the court by dictating play, but she was not
always so sure she would win.
"When I was down 4-1," she said. "I
was hoping everyone else would win fast
so I wouldn't get a loss."
The Gators made quick work of the
Blue Devils during the doubles competi-
tion. Benik and fellow freshman Lolita
Frangulyan, who lost 8-1 on the top court
Sunday against UNC, dropped down a
court and won 8-2 against Duke.


UF's Boglarka Berecz and the Gators swept Duke 4-0 Wednesday night in Gainesville. UF
has won two consecutive matches.

Gonzales: tough road to triumph


By IAN FISHER
Alligator Staff Writer
ifisher@alligator.org

Last week, UF wide receiver Chad
Jackson said he and his fellow receivers
would be the best group in the country.
According to their coach, though,
they've got a long way to go.
"The University of Florida needs to
have the best receivers in America," wide
receivers coach Billy Gonzales.said. "Are
we there right now? I would say we're


very, very far off from that right now."
Gonzales said the talent exists in the
S UF receiving corps, but
they haven't worked,
hard enough. He com-
Si pared the UF receivers
to the ones he coached
;. :i'. /y eat Utah the last two
years.
S"One of the reasons
Gonzales why we were so good
at the last place is be-
cause those guys worked," Gonzales said.


"They were overachievers. Now what I
need to get my guys here who are physi-
cally blessed talent-wise they need to
become overachievers. When we can do
that, I'll say we got a good group."
Jackson and redshirt junior Jemalle
Cornelius stood out for their work ethic,
Gonzales said. However, he wasn't happy
with Wednesday's practice effort.
"We're taking small steps; today, I
think we took a step back," he said.

What happened


with Mosby? ,

While most students will be talk-
ing about'UF's latest football
practice or the occasional edi-
torial cartoon, many will not notice that
Bernice Mosby is off the women's basket-
ball team permanently.
And while the team had a low home
attendance and went to the women's
NIT this year, there are fans that still care
about the team.
They want to know what the heck hap-
pened. Whether we'll ever know what
happened is a good question.


Mosby dismissed from women's team


* CAROLYN PECK SAID
IT WAS HER HARDEST
DECISION AS A COACH.

STAFF REPORT

The best UF women's bas-
ketball player is no more.
Junior forward Bernice
Mosby, who led the Gators
in points and rebounds this
season; has been dismissed
from the team.
"This has been the hard-
est decision I've ever had
to make as a coach," Coach
Carolyn Peck said in a state-
ment released by UF.
"This decision is in the
best interest for our
basketball program and
for Bernice. I wish her
the best of luck in the
future."
Carolyn Peck
UF women's basketball coach


"This decision is in the
best interest for our basket-
ball program and for Bernice.
I wish her the best of luck in
the future."
Mosby can choose to
retain an academic scholar-
ship.
If she declines, UF will
grant her a release from the
team, allowing Mosby to fur-


their her collegiate basketball
career elsewhere.
Mosby's descent from
Gators stardom -began on
Feb. 24 when she was sus-
pended for the first half of

Mosby -concludes, her
UF career with 1,124 points
No. 17 in program his-
tory and 625 rebounds.
She averaged 15.5 points
and 8.6 rebounds per game
in 2004-05.
Mosby started all 25
games she played, averaging
a team-best 30.3 minutes per
contest.
She was a Second Team
All-Southeastern Conference
selection by the coaches and
media this season. Mosby
was also voted the 2003-04
SEC Sixth Woman of the'
Year.
Her departure leaves the
Gators in a dire situation for
next season.

The highest-scoring play-

Brittany Davis, who aver-

season.

UF forward Bernice Mosby has been dismissed from the Gators af-
ter averaging 15.5 points and 8.6 rebounds this season. .


It shouldn't be
expected that Coach
Carolyn Peck will
open up and tell ev-
eryone why she de-
cided to make what
she said was the "the
hardest decision I've
ever had to make as
a coach." Which is
unfortunate.
think Urban Meyer


would tell us why a player got kicked off
the football team. I would like to think
Peck would do this as well.
No one is asking her to divulge all the
behind-the-scenes details or even get into
the situation at all. Only that it ma-be a
good idea to state the reason to the fans
that came to see Mosby play, who came
to see her become the 2004 Southeastern
Conference Sixth Woman of the Year and
then lead the team in points and rebounds
with 15.5 and 8.6, respectively, this sea-
son.
I won't use the "we have a right to
know" card either. More appropriate is
the fact that the fans want to know.
If I had to make a prediction, I'd say
someone's going to find out the critical
"why" one way or another. Maybe it will
come from the basketball program. Maybe
it will come from Mosby while she's still
attending UF. Or maybe it will appear in
another college town's newspaper in the
event she transfers.
Hopefully, the fans will get the answer
soon.
Another important question in the
meantime is how the women's basketball
team is going to recover. One of the many
reasons Peck's decision was a hard one
was undoubtedly because Mosby was
productive. With the loss of Mosby and
with Tashia Morehead, Tishona Gregory

NOT-SO-FULL BACK: Meyer's offense eliminates
the fullback position. That presented a problem
for two UF players.
Former fullbacks Eric Rutledge and Billy
Latsko were moved to linebacker. Meyer was
impressed with one.
"They're doing good," Meyer said. "Latsko
is a little further ahead. Latsko is going to play,
though; he's doing really well."
Meyer said Rutledge's speed is a problem.
Position aside, both just really want to play,
Meyer said.
"You're dealing with two all they want to
do is play," Meyer said. "Latsko you can tell
him, 'Your position is going to be hanging off
that goalpost for the whole game.' 'OK, coach;
I'll go do it.'"

DEFENSIVE REVENGE: Meyer has dubbed
Wednesday and Saturdays winner-loser days.
On Saturday, the offense won on the last play.
On Wednesday, there wasn't any competi-
tion.
"Defense kind of handed it to the offense
today, which you'd probably expect this time
of year," Meyer said. "I think there were some
positives on defense. Can't think of a whole lot
of positives on offense except it was a good.at-
titude."
While the defense left practice, the offense
had to run around the practice fields.

"We started this campaign as a team, and we've remained a team the whole way through." Joe Goldberg Student Body president-elect At 12:05 a.m. Thursday, Supervisor of Elections Ali Blye announced Goldberg's win in this week's runoff election after garnering 53.31 percent of the votes. Gator's Lindsay Cosimi won the runoff for treasurer against Michelle Lightbourne of Impact, receiving 53.11 percent of the tally. Blye first announced Cosimi's win, and after that, the cheers from Gator supporters only grew louder. When Blye matter-of-factly announced Goldberg's win, the new president-elect went into a wild frenzy of hugs with his closest friends and parents before kissing his girlfriend. Ngin nodded silently as the Gator victories were announced, bookmarked by ticketmates Robert Mack and Lightbourne. As Gator Party cheers partially drowned out Goldberg's announcement, Impact supporters gathered in a circle around Ngin and silently raised their index fingers, showing No. 1 signs. Several supporters cried and embraced. Despite the somber mood among the Impact supporters, Mack remained pleasant. "Somebody came down and hugged me like my dog died," Impact's vice-presidential candidate Mack said. "If my dog died, I'd be crying-" For Mack, it was the "weirdest election" he'd ever been involved in, he said. Goldberg wasn't allowed the microphone to give a victory speech but instead stood on a chair and shouted so hard he nearly lost his voice. "We started this campaign as a team, and we've remained a team the whole way through," Goldberg SEE ELECTION, PAGE 8 Lindsay Cosimi, Joe Goldberg and Joyce Medina embrace as the Gator Party is announced as the new Student Government executive-elect officials. Officials talk insurance By JEFF SIRMONS Alligator Writer jsirmons@amigator.org TAMPA -Students at any Florida public university may receive free or subsidized health insurance, thanks to the State University Presidents' Association's support of the plan Wednesday. Because some say the state may soon require students to have health insurance before enrolling, the 11 universities now will search for health insurance together, to achieve lower rates. "The more people we have, the cheaper the rates for health insurance are," said the association chairman and University of West Florida President John Cavanaugh. The vice presidents of finance and administration at each university will work together to find cheaper health insurance plans that will fit the needs of their university. "Each campus may have different benefit structures already in place, so we will have to work together to plan out what fits all of us best," said Ed Poppell, UF vice president of Finance and UF Administration, AdminiStration who did not attend the event. Florida International University, for example, offers insurance to graduate students, and its university officials hope this initiative will enhance the healthcare to undergraduates. "The more benefits we offer to students, the better the quality of students we teach are," FIU Provost Mark B. Rosenberg said.

Bernie Machen UF president E MACHEN SEEKS TO IMPROVE CAMPUS DIVERSITY. By STEPHANIE GARRY Alligator Staff Writer smgarry@alligator.org UF President Bernie Machen soon will create or bolster a toplevel administrative position dedicated to improving campus diversity, bringing diversity issues to the forefront of his agenda. After reading a special assignment report on the state of diversity at UF, Machen discussed the recommendations with two senior vice presidents but decided to delay action until UF finds its next provost, the university's chief academic officer. "We believe that we need the new provost before we move on it," Machen said, adding that it will be one of the first issues to come before the provost this Summer. This move would represent Machen's first substantial step toward improving diversity, an issue he championed even before coming to UP a year ago. The president also sees diversity as a requirement to UF becoming a Top 10 public research university.

THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 3 TALAHASSEE Pending academic freedom bill comes under fire By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM Alligator Staff Writer vani@aligator.org TALLAHASSEE -The pending Florida House bill that would establish a statewide code of academic freedom is unnecessary, UF officials say, because the imiversity already has significant safeguards in place to protect student and faculty rights. UF spokesman Joe Kays said thei-miversity's Ombudsman's Office investigates student and faculty complaints, and helps enforce existing uiversity policies protecting students and faculty from political discrimination or retaliation -concerns bill sponsor Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, cited as reasons for the law. The Legislature passed a law mandating colleges and universities to establish similar offices in 2002. UF had one much earlier. "We feel that the legislature has already addressed this issue, and diversity procedures already address all the concerns Rep. Baxley has in his bill," Kays said. "Students are pretty weli-protected." Baxley recently sent a letter to UF President Benie Machen explaining his reasons for pushing the bill. Kays said Machen received the letter and is formulating UF's response. The House Choice and Innovation Committee approved the bill Tuesday UF: Restating the obvious Bob Jerry, dean of the UF Levin College of Law, said the language of Baxley's bill restates principles of academic freedom enshrined in opinions of the U.S. Supreme Court. The problem, Jerry said, is that by codifying these principles as Florida statutes, the bill could have serious consequences. "It is possible that if this were statutory law, academic freedom principles that we test and apply in university and faculty governance forums could be cited in the courts," Jerry said. "That would be a very different environment for all of us and not one that, in my opinion, would be appropriate." Those concerns were echoed in a legislative staff analysis warning that the bill may allow Florida students to sue their professors and universities if they feel ridiculed in class, or if their professors fail to teach "alternative" theories on controversial subjects. Making an exaniple At the Tuesday hearing, an example Baxley cited of when students should be allowed to sue is when biology professors teach evolution as fact, failing to acknowledge Creationism. UTF evolutionary geneticist Charles Baer said while he wouldn't mark down students for not believing in evolution, they would still be expected to complete course work. "We're not talking about 4-yearolds here. Students have critical thinking ability. If they don't like what they hear from their professor, they can ditch it." .Pierre Ramond UF physics professor "If I was asking them to write a paper on one aspect of evolution, and they said they didn't believe in evolution so they wouldn't write a paper, they would be marked down," he said. "If someone said, 'I don't believe in evolution, but if I did, this would be what I'd write,' that would be OK. I'm not going to flunk someone for not believing in evolution." Baer said even if he knew he could be sued he would continue teaching the same way. "Students should not be ridiculed in class, and in any context, it's not appropriate, but some students may be touchier than others," Baer said. "What seems as discussion to some people may seem inappropriate to others." Who teaches the teachers? In urging lawmakers to pass the bill, Baxley said university classrooms have morphed into "niches of totalitarianism" where leftist professors are "dictators who control the indoctrinization of the next generation." UF physics professor Pierre Ramond, who serves as chairman of the Faculty Senate, said that demeans students' intelligence. "We're not talking about 4-year-olds here," he said. "Students have critical thinking ability. If they don't like what they hear from their professor, they can ditch it." And as far as indoctrinization goes, professors combat that threat when they ask questions and force students to think on their own. Baer said that if students in his class said they believed in Intelligent Design or another theory of Creationism, he would ask them questions in the Socratic method, forcing them to explain the reasoning behind their beliefs. According to the UF Faculty Handbook, university policy maintains full academic freedom to discuss subjects frankly, select instructional materials and determine grades.

4, ALLIGATOR S THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 2005 ELECTIONS 2005 Candidates offer alternatives to anti-rave ordinance By BRIAN HAGEN Alligator Writer bhagen@alligator.org Candidates for the Gainesville City Commission took one more chance to spell out ideas for the proposed extension of bar closing hours. If approved, the new ordinance would mean any liquor-licensed establishments would stop serving alcohol at 2 a.m. but would be allowed to stay open imtil 3 a.m. The student-heavy Safe and Fair Entertainment Committee is promoting the change. In competition for the At-Large seat are incumbent Rick Bryant and candidates Diyonne McGraw, Rob Brinkman and Gabe Kaimowitz. McGraw, a former parole officer, supports the change, saying a later closing time will help keep intoxicated patrons off the streets. "Ninety-five percent of my case load was DUIs," she said. "DUIs stay on your record for 75 years." After their driving privileges were suspended for a DUI conviction, nine out of 10 of her clients drove with their suspended licenses, she said. If caught, they would spend 10 days in jail. "It's common sense that later is better," McGraw said, "because it could be you or me walking down that street." While Bryant said bars should not be allowed to serve alcohol AA af ter 2 a.m., he V reserved judgment on extending hours until McGraw he receives cost analyses -and reports from the Gainesville Police Department and safety experts. "The system isn't working," Bryant said. "[But] we've got some real good discussion now." To improve safety, Gainesville has added extensive police and staff coverage downtown, he said. Kaimowitz suggested specific alcohol-free alternative activities to lure people away from bars and give them alternatives to drinking. Street musicians and entertainers could play on blocked-off streets, he said. Dramatic performances, such as "American Idol"-style events, could command audiences. Brinkman supported the 3 a.m. closing time and had ideas for the elimination of noise violations and underage drinking. Policy now dictates that police must ignore many noise violations at closing time to concentrate on public safety dangers, Brinkman said, advocating modernizing the code enforcement department. It could become an independent department, possibly by even putting code enforcers on the streets at night, writing citations. Drinkers in Tampa, identified by bracelets, can buy only one drink per bracelet at the bar, he said, curbing underage drinking and keeping excessive consumption at bay as well as controlling end-of-night alcohol abuse, Brinkman said. GPD will follow the city's wishes but supports the 2 a.m. closing time, spokesman Keith Kameg said. A 2 a.m. closing provides an hour overlap in police shifts, giving the city twice as many officers on the streets from 2 to 3 a.m., he said. GPD has been asked to limit input on the issue but will provide a cost analysis of the 3 a.m. closing Bryant to the Gainesville Public Safety Committee, he said. University Police also likes the current closing time but has no way of knowing how any changes would affect crime on UF's campus, spokesman Joe Sharkey said. "We will deal with the situation as it's being dealt to us," he said. UPD now fights alcohol abuse with education and patrols, including officers stationed on the campus side of University Avenue to watch for drunk drivers, Sharkey said. "I don't see why they couldn't limit this," said Ed Clarke, owner of Eddie C's Pub & Billiards. "It'd be cool on weekend nights, but not seven nights a week." When Florida lawmakers passed a bill in 1997 forcing all establishments with liquor licenses to shut down at 2 a.m., Gainesville chose to let the party continue by passing no such matching ordinance. Gainesville's lack of standardized closing times for night clubs and bars attracted both raves and drugs such as ecstasy and Ketamine. But it wasn't until two students died during parties following a home football victory over the Tennessee Volunteers that the movement for a 2 a.m. closing time in an effort to curb such partying began. The proposed change was met with student protests at City Hall and a divided Commission. However, in 1999 establishments with liquor licenses were officially mandated to close at 2 a.m. In 2000, the Commission passed the Dance Hall Ordinance, which closed even alcohol-free clubs at 2 a.m. WED: BOTTLE NIGHT $1 BUD/BUD IT BOTTLES $2" ALL IMPORT BOTTLES. 500WI BNS --lOrM-CLOSE -HURS: LADIES NIGHT 10 PM-1AM DOCKSIDE LADIES DRINK FREE WINE, WELLS &, BEER 'PORtD NO COVER!

THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 5 tiuraw brings51 ba an11 City Commission candidate Diyonne McGraw will face off Tuesday for the AtLarge seat. rniiy narris / Amgamwr Iar By STEPHEN MAGRUDER Alligator Writer snagruder@aliigator.org On the Gainesville City Commission ballot, no candidate looks like Diyonne McGraw. That's because McGraw, a candidate for the At-Large seat, is the only woman in the race, as well as the only black candidate. "I decided to run because I thought Gainesville needed, for one, more diversity," McGraw said. "I think I'm the candidate that brings the balance." McGraw noted that the last time a black woman sat on the City Commission was Cynthia Chestnut in 1990 -just before McGraw moved to Gainesville 14 years ago. As an only child growing up in Memphis, Tern., McGraw became fascinated with politics at an early age because of her mother's involvement in local campaigns. "She really surrounded herself with quality people," McGraw said. "I just followed in her footsteps." McGraw moved to Tallahassee in 1987 to start her freshman year at Florida A&M University, where she devoted herself to a life of activism and servitude. She took part in more than 150 service projects involving underprivileged children and feeding the homeless. It's something she still feels passionate about as the local alumni president of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. The sorority's motto, "Service to all mankind," is manifested in McGraw's plans for Gainesville if she is elected. McGraw said she plans to empower local women, children and war veterans -all of whom she said deserve the highest quality of life possible. "You have to be fair and remember who you serve," she said. McGraw has several roles outside of her candidacy for public office. She's also a realtor, a mother and a wife, which doesn't leave much time for anything else. "There's not a whole lot of time to relax right now with the campaign," she said. "Sometimes I just sit in the bathtub and try to relax." When she's not working, volunteering or campaigning, McGraw enjoys movies, seeing her friends, watching college Elections basketball and spending 2005 time with her husband and four children. "They have been so understanding and very supportive," McGraw said. As a former resident of East Gainesville, McGraw said she would -like to see the area developed, which she said continually is left behind compared to the west side of town. "There's a great sense of community [in East Gainesville]," McGraw said. "You can walk out your door and everybody's like,'Hey! How you doin'?" Some of McGraw's favorite places to go in Gainesville are Westside Park on Northwest 34th Street and UF's Ham Museum, both of which she said her kids.adore. With an already long history of community service, McGraw's past mirrors her philosophy on life. "I think you're put here on earth to be a mover and a shaker for others," she said. Officials say requiring health insurance for students may be in best interest SUPA; from page 1 comes in stride with Florida's tentative move to join the majority of states in requiring health insurance as a prerequisite to enrollment, University of South Florida President Judy Genshaft said. "It's in the best interest of the state that every student have health insurance," Genshaft said. Florida State University trustees are discussing whether to make health insurance coverage mandatory for admission, said Anne Blankenship, assistantvice president of academic affairs at the university. This program would not affect students already insured by their parents, but rather, it would help provide coverage only to students who need it. Other issues discussed included the role the Board of Governors, the bodythat oversees Florida's public universities, should have in estab-' lishing university rules. The governors will discuss todaya proposal requiring their oversight of university rule changes, such as the hiking of student tuition fees. Under the proposition, the university must submit any rule change to the board. If the board does not respond within 30 days, the rule stands. Otherwise, it must work its way through the board, but Florida Atlantic University President Frank Brogan said the drawn out process could be ineffective. "That rule would create more mischief than the original problem the rule was trying to fix," Brogan said. "I understand that the Board of Governors wants to protect itself from significant rules being passed without their interaction, but do they really need oversee what color our parking lines are?"

6, ALLIGATOR S THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 2005 Editorial Double take Gator Party wins second time, takes control of SG The students have spoken. Well, sort of. With the turnout at the polls over the past two days being as bad as the weather has been lately, it hardly can be said that there was a mandate from the students offered to the victor today. But regardless of that and of any claims of wrongdoing, Joe Goldberg and the Gator Party will be your Student Government leaders for the next year. While there has been plenty of anti-Gator sentiment from the Alligator editorial board this election season -all of it deserved and based on compelling evidence, we feel -there is no point in retreading old grievances. Instead, we want to congratulate the Gator candidates on their victory, and offer our hopes and requests for their tenure in office. But don't take that to mean we've all of a sudden jumped onto the bandwagon. We always have maintained that Goldberg and Gator are the most qualified for office and the most likely to accomplish the goals that they have set forth. We also always have maintained that we have not been convinced their actual goals remotely resemble the changes students want and need. For the students' sake, we hope Gator's claims that it will offer student access are more than just a campaign tactic. If the newly elected Gator members do turn out to be more respective of what is right for the students, instead of what is right for themselves, then they have the ability to do a lot of good during their time in SG. If they shut down the small increases already made toward student access, then they equally have the opportunity to do a lot of damage. We hope that, no matter what decisions they make.in terms of representation, they will take into account what is best for students in terms of policy and bring their experience to bear in making it happen. We are not yet writing off this election as a total loss to the elite minority, and it would be pointless to complain about abuses of power until we see them in action. But we cannot help but fear this will be a step backward to a system we hoped was on its way out. It is up to our new leaders, then, to prove us wrong through decisive action. Prove to us that your concern for the students is genuine by enacting legislation that students support, such as online voting. Prove to us that none of the newly.elected Gator candidates were selected in order to fill diversity quotas or as gifts to organizations for electoral support by showing through their work that they are qualified for the job. Prove to us that our fears that legacy positions will be solidified are unfounded by bestowing positions upon only the most qualified candidates. Prove to us that rumors of corruption were unfounded by running the sort of clean, open and honest organization that is less likely to receive such criticism. We want to believe you. We really do. But it's going to take a lot of work on your part. fl-th independet florida Dwayne Robinson Matt Sanchez EDITOR OPINIONS EDITOR Mike Gimignani Lauren Flanagan MANAGING EDITOR Diana Middleton Craig Singleton EDITORIAL BOARD The Alligator encourages comments from readers.

THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 7 Victims, not criminals, are denied rights Editor: Gavin Baker's aim was a bit off in yesterday's column. We should be concerned with the victims in capital punishment cases, not the criminals. They are the ones who have been denied their choice to live or die. Those convicted of capital punishment made their decision when they committed the crime. The two people we should be concerned with in this matter are Michael and Terri Schiavo. Because Terri has, according to every medical opinion, lost her life, Michael has lost his wife and been slandered by her family -who are trying to overturn the order of guardianship that has been established in the courts for 200 years via the sanctity of marriage. Ben Bright 5EG True Gators always stand with the team Editor: I was disappointed in the team's performance, but did it merit a cartoon about Matt Walsh choking? Please. If anything, it was Roberson who was lackluster. At least Walsh scored in the double digits. What happened to "It's great to be a Florida Gator?" I have been living in Philadelphita for two years, and there is one distinct difference between Philly fans and Gator fans: In Philly, no matter how well the team performs, they hang the players in effigy if it isn't a win. In Gainesville, no matter how disappointing a loss might be, we acknowledge how much we love our team and we move on. There were numerous times during the past two years when Lito Shepard, a former Gator and current Eagle, had a. few bad games, and the entire Philly area went on and on about how bad he was -not about how he is a Pro Bowler. I remember a few losses (Tennessee, FSU and Kentucky) where we were upset, but we still left the Swamp or the O'Dome chanting, "It's great to be a Florida Gator." I am all about holding a team accountable for a loss -but "team" is the important word, not "player." Your cartoon embodies a mentality of crudeness and immaturity. I am sure the team feels disappointed enough without having their loyal fans write stupid cartoons. Don't we criticize Kentucky and Tennessee fans who chant "Walsh is gay" when he plays at their schools? How is this any better? Piper Stannard UF alumnus Professor bias legislation is hypocritical Editor: As a Republican, I am appalled by the legislation that is trying to be passed about professors. in life, you will have people that you do not agree with -should you be allowed to sue them? I have had many classes with professors who lean to the left, and I have had many debates with them in the middle of class. If you have a theory and are intelligent, you should be able to defend yourself. If you have no basis for your belief, then maybe you should start to listen and get evidence. In a coLmtry that is fighting a war to save our freedoms and promote democracy, we look hypocritical when eroding away the First Amendment and the right to free speech.

8, ALLIGATOR N THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 2005 Turnout dips from last week ELECTION, from page 1 shouted. Goldberg's father Barry made the plane trip to Gainesville from his home in Miami for the second time in a week, he said. "I'll have to fly in again for the inauguration," Barry Goldberg said. Ngin, Mack and Lightbourne addressed Impact loyalists' a few minutes after the announcement. "We gotta continue to be a voice," Mack said. "It wasn't an overwihimng mandate -it was a close election." A total of 7,740 students voted, said Blye, who oversaw ballot counting until 10: 30 p.m. comprised just Goldberg 16.13 percent of the UF student body, paling by more than 1,400 tallies in comparison with last week's general election turnout of 9,150. Unlike last year's Student Body presidential runoff, which featured nearly a quarter of the student body voting, this year saw a surprise dip from the first week to the second. After the election, Ngin said fife for him would return to normal. "I plan to continue to be active on this campus, whether or not it's in SG," Ngin said. Impact Party president Richard Rodriguez approached Ngin and interjected. "He's sleeping before anything else," Rodriguez said. "He hasn't slept in three weeks." Administrator ignores SG law Student Activities Center Assistant Director Chris Cupoli directed Blye to break election laws for what he called the best interestof the student body. Because the Orange & Brew swarmed with more than 200 students during last week's general election announcement, Cupoli said it broke the maximum legal capacity He also said he wasn't about to see that happen Wednesday A total of aboot 180 wristbands were given out to ensure the legal capacity was not exceeded. Both Impact and Gator received 70 bands each to distribute among their members. Only about 40 were available for the general public. Not only is it tradition for election results to be announced at the Orange & Brew at midnight, but it is also written in the SG statues. Election winners must be announced there unless the Brew is "unavailable:" In that case, a change in location must be decided a week before the end of the election by a vote of student officials. Gator and Impact expressed disappointment at the decision. Goldberg said it was not made clear to him that the announcement would be made outdoors near the amphitheater and game room. Mack said he wasn't pleased at the last-minute news since Impact had "well over" 180 volunteers. Cupoli said the new election headquarters were "close enough" to the restaurant so that the change was not drastic and that if it was not held outside, Gainesville Fire Rescue could have intervened. "They think our laws are not real laws, our courts are not real courts, our government is not a real government," said Student Sen. John Boyles, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Blye said she had no choice but to announce the results outside per Cupoli's advice. "I wasn't given an option," Blye said. "I was told we weren't allowed to do it." Alligator Staff Writers Mike Ginni.goaoi and Eva Kis, and Alligator Writers David Cohen, John Cox and Neil Hughes contributed to this report. Report lays out diversity goals DIVERSITY, from page 1 percent of UF's full-time faculty, and only 25 percent were female, according to the report. "It didn't surprise me," Machen said. "I know where we are and I know where we want to be." Providing a diverse social environment is crucial for UF students because that's what they'll face in the real world, said Terry Mills, sociology professor and associate dean for minority affairs in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. He called the numbers "shameful," but said the president has been moving in a positive direction. "We have to be extremely proactive," Mills said. "We have to adequately fund these efforts at diversity, and it cannot be done without a real commitment of dollars." The report had 10 recommendations, including diversity training and establishing an office for institutional diversity that reports directly to the president. Machen said he will either create the position or assign more responsibilities to an associate provost. He said he wants the person to raise visibility and be a "beacon for diversity" on campus, holding events, helping find jobs for faculty members' spouses and recriting. The poU F sition may Administration hold the authority to give departments incentives for improving minority representation or penalties for failing to meet those goals. Rafael Giro, chairman of the Association of Hispanic Faculty and Staff at UF, said a reward system was not necessary. "I don't really think that it should be tied to that," Giro said. "If the leadership is embracing it, I don't think that rewards need to necessarily be put into effect to achieve it." Fumds for the office would come from the existing budget, Machen said.

Three books from the library. Three books in a package. But last Friday night, UF graduate Chris Campanaro chose a mix of five science fiction and fantasy paperbacks to send to a prisoner in Gatesville, Texas. "In jail, prisoners would just read anything', he said. Friday was Campanaos first night volunteering with Gainesville Books for Psoners, a collective that seinds books to prisoners across the United States. Campanaro spent a month in the Alachua County Jail, where he was allowed to check out three books every two weeksHe knows what a book means to a prisoner, even if it wasn't the book they meant to get when they wrote to students 'M the other side of the country whom they've never met. Or will lielv ever meet. Campanaru chose five books, not three, and no one stopped him. "Books are priceless," he said. Priscilla Faas, a 28-year-old rehabilitation case worker, likes volunteering with Books for Prisoners because she said the work is a hands-on form of activism. "This is a choice they get to make for themelves," shesaid. With about seven other volunteers, Faas reads letters and order forms from inmates across the country and then tries to matchti up the inmates' requests with a book from the organization's library at the Ark, a seif-naimed "art gallery space" situated at 22 NE I10) St. For Faas, choosing which books to send is part of the njoyuent in this work. "I can only imagine how happy they .must feel .when they get the books," she said. Bret Bostock, who helped found the collective four years ago, estimated the group sent out 360 packages and more than 1,100 books since midDecember last year, when he began tracking inmate requests. Bostock, a 30-year-old graphics design student at SFCC, pinpointed that more than half of Books for VPrisoners shipments go to Texas because of the state's huge prison population. He said the group tried to shift some of. the letters coming into Gainesville Tricia Coyne Alligator Staff Tammi Arford, a Books for Prisoners volunteer, searches stacks of donated volumes to select reading-material requested by inmates. to a Texas volunteer program called Inside Books, but that group is' even further behind than Books for Prisoners in meeting requests. "We try to prioritize letters from Florida prisons," Bostock said. "But te 'ain thing is focusing on catching up and not being four months' behind." Last' Friday, volunteers filled requests made in November, which is slightly longer than average for prisoner book programs. Beyond books, Bostock said the' group needs two elements: people and money, Most of their books come from a drop-off box at ,Waward Council Record Shop at 807 W University Ave. Campus drop-off boxes are located at the women's studies department and the Levin College of Law Student Guild. Though prisons only' accept shipments of paperback books, Books for PrisoneNs sells hardback donabions through the Wayward' Ckmuncil to cover shipping costs, which hit abOut $100 each week.

10, ALLIGATOR N THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 2005 PLAYLIST 'Giry'band fihts stigrma By JACQUELINE DAVISON Avenue Writer "We aren't raging girl-powerites, and we aren't posable Barbies," says Maria Carter, guitarist and co-front woman for local indie-folk group redboy. "We're musicians." Considering four of the five members of redboy are in fact female, it's surprising that the band lacks the "girl power" persona associated with most bands of similar ratios. "It's not about girls being better than boys or vice-versa," Carter says. "We don't believe the difference in our sexes should separate us." Redboy's story began in the summer of 2003 when Carter met fellow co-front woman Meredith McCall. That evening, she dreamt they were in a band together. In the dream, her women's studies professor said, "Red because we're guilty and can't conceal it. Boy because we're not, and we won't become it," giving the band its name. "When I woke up, I wrote everything down," Carter says. "Gradually, Mer and I began to think it would be a good idea for us to play together." Redboy, which has been playing shows in Gainesville since October, will be sharing the stage with Alaco Affair (Indie-acoustic) and Mercy (solo fernale acoustic indie) Saturday at Faces for $5. Mercy, also founder of female musician collective Tomboy Entertainment, is "a very intimate songwriter, and her voice is beautiful," Carter says. "Try getting a crowd out to see women play guitar and you'll understand what I mean," she says. "It seems like we have to be twice as good and twice as engaging onstage to get the audience to listen." Redboy's influences range from Nirvana to Ani DiFranco, making their sound what best is described as 'a mix.' McCall even grew up in an acapella church. "More than anything, we just want to share our passion with the audience," Carter says. For more information, go to http:// www.redboymusic.com. By COLIN MCCANDLESS Avenue Writer Calling all beer aficionados .it's time for the ninth annual Greater Gator Beer Festival Saturday from 1 to 5 pim. at a great new location, Magnolia Parke.

Beef 0' Brady's, Gator's Dockside, Hops Restaurant, Kazbor's Sports Grille, Gainesville Ale House and others comprise the list of restaurants participating in the celebration. On past occasions, the festival drew crowds of 2,500 people, and a similar turnoutis expected this year. The inaugural Beer Festival was in 1997 at the Sun Center next to the Hippodrome State Theater, but it grew after two years and moved to the parking lot at 238 W University Ave., where it remained for six years. It has expanded once again, justifying the transition to the new spot at Magnolia Parke, which boasts room to accommodate larger crowds. Advanced tickets are $15 and can be acquired them at Spin Cycle, CD Warehouse, Gator Beverage, Kazbor's Sports Grille, Gator's Dockside, Hops Restaurant and Beef 0' Brady's. Entrance at the gate is $20. -The Beer Festival is a fundraiser, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit WRUF AM/FM at UF.

THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 11 HIP HOP ATMOSphere keeps it real, takes beats to new level tmosphere. And maybe you don't like us. But of all the stars in the sky, believe we're one of the brightest." From the opening line of 2002's album "God Loves Ugly," it is clear Atmosphere believe they are a force that can't be reckoned with. How right they are. And they're bringing that force to Common Grounds tonight. For years now, the underground hip-hop legends Slug, Ant and DJ Mr. Dibbs, collectively known as Atmosphere, not only have turned the heads of anyone who hears just one beat or one line, but they also have caught the attention of the entire hip-hop community. Oh, did I mention they're white? Above the hip-hop underground, respected white rappers are few and far between for any number of reasons. The intangible that separates Slug and Atmosphere from the rest is an undeniable sense of honesty surrounding them. There's nothing fake about the lines Slug spits. There's nothing fake about Atmosphere's in-your-face approach. As hip hop becomes more and more embedded into mainstream music, passion -or any sort of message -has been blinded by diamonds and rims. But not Slug and Atmosphere. He has kept his eyes and pen fixed on blank p a p e r Chad Smith creating Playlist r h y m e s theavenue@alligator.org of already legendary proportion. Aside from their sincerity and pure talent, another weapon in the Atmosphere arsenal is an eclectic fan base. From hardcore hip-hop junkies to skateboarding punks, the rhyme and reason of Atmosphere is felt and appreciated by all walks. A large part of that can be attributed to the release of Atmosphere's latest album, "Seven's Travels," on Epitaph Records, the punk-rock label that has released seminal classics from the likes of Bad Religion, Pennywise and the Descendents. Sharing the stage with Slug and company will be Grayskul, the up-and-coming, 'gloomy "rhymefighters" that already have garnered the praise and support of some of the hip-hop underground's biggest names. Their debut album, "Deadlivers," so named to represent both sides of the world -the living and the deceased -features appearances from Aesop Rock, Abstract Rude and Mr. Lif. Grayskul's brand of "rhyme-fighting" includes comic-bookesque alter egos apart from their solo names, Onry Ozzbom, JFK and bassit Rob Castro. When they step on stage as Greyskul, they are Reason, Fiddle Back Recluse and Phantom Ghost El-top, respectively. "It's symbolic of being an emcee. Like when you wake up you're Jeff, but when you're on stage you're an emcee. It's like being empowered with a skill," explains JFK, aka Recluse. "Every emcee is like a comic book character." Watch these real-life -Clark Kents turm Supermen tonight with Atmosphere. You'll get why they're "one of the brightest." Common Grounds is situated at 210 SW Second Ave. Harn project alms to inspire students' inner-muse BY ALICIA PEREZ Avenue Writer Everyone wants to find out who he or she is. Sometimes, it's even hard to begin thinking about why we are here and what constitutes our identity. Artists throughout the years have addressed the idea in their paintings and sculptures. Tonight, students will have a chance to explore their own identity at the Harn Museum of Art. The Museum University Student Educators came together with the help-of Brandi Breslin, Harn Museum staff member and education coordinator for adult and docent programs, to create new types of programs to engage college students in plained. Donations are more than welcome, the world of art. of course, but the event itself is free. "The idea of identity is a broad human The first station will be a tour of different theme that, of course, is going t art," Breslin said.

Finally, the night will end with a performance by Agbedidi dance company at 8:45 p.m. Breslin said she wants people who never have been to the museum to "learn something from the experience and feel a sense of growth for the visual arts." The second program will be called "Art Scene Investigation" and will present a variety of programs and activities related to investigating art and the art scene. MUSE will present mini tours, slide shows, interactive games and hands-on activities to help visitors gather clues toward object interpretation, -uncovering hidden meanings and discovering the secrets of success in the art world.

'Lullabies' seems a stellar new notch in band's belt ^ome bands rock hard. Some Z bands are melodic. But few frise the two styles quite like Queens of the Stone Age. On their latest effort, "Lullabies to Paralyze," QOTSA are at the top of their game, bringing artsy rock, dark and hypnotic moods, rich epics, powerful blast of noise and even some cowbell -all without founding member/bassist Nick Oliveri, kicked out of the band for undisclosed reasons before recording. While Oliveri's penchant for straight-up metal is noticeably missing on the album, lead singer/guitar player Josh Homme and the rest of the band's lineup put together a solid record that is every bit as compelling as any previous QOTSA release. QOTSA always has been a revolving cast of musicians, which may help explain how Homme and company survived the absence of the integral Oliveri, a major factor on previous albums. Like past QOTSA recordings, "Lullabies to Paralyze" offers warm vocals and fuzzy guitars mix e d .Ca'LI!T w i t h t h i c k reverb a n d Nathaniel Deas dums Playlist A 1 1 theavenue@aIIigator.org c o m bine to f or m one unified sound that invites listeners to get lost in the shifting mood. Homme's lyrics display a supreme sense of wit, while drummer Joey Castillo picks up where Dave Grohl left off on 2002's "Songs for the Deaf." Several highlights on the albun include guest vocalist Mark Lanegan's (Screaming Trees) dark and brooding contribution to the gloomy "Bum the Witch," Homme's ghostly vocals on the creepy and surreal epic "Someone's in the Wolf," the explosive power and steady keys of "Broken Box" and, of course, the heavy dosage of cowbell on the album's first single, "Little Sister." It is hard to describe accurately exactly how so many elements can fit together so seamlessly. But nonetheless, "Lullabies to Paralyze" is a unified album that flows from beginning to end. With their new release, Josh Homme and the rest of QOTSA prove the normal rules of rock music do not apply to then, and they are miles ahead of today's major radio rockers. Again, while dark and gloomy, the album also is beautiful and melodic and definitely worth listening to over and over again.

THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 2005E0 ALLIGATOR, 21 Seni r relishes in sprints, gives UF differentlook By TIM CASEY Alligator Writer tcasey@alligator.org The UF pitching staff sweats wind sprints every day. But while most of the pitchers find the drills grueling, senior pitcher Mike Pete routinely outruns his teammates by 20 yards. "We always -as a school, and especially the baseball team -have tons of athletes on the All-SEC Academic team. When we go perform in the classroom as well as we do, then go back it up on the field, that's exciting." Mike Pete UF senior pitcher His game-day duties are less taxing, but unforeseen. As a relief pitcher, Pete never knows when he'll get the ball. "A lot of the times, it's not really much time to warm up," Pete said. "You could have a -starter out there doing fine, and then you have to get loose in two minutes to be ready to go. It's pretty much an up-and-down experience out in the bullpen." His career has been a rollercoaster ride as well. Pete was drafted by the Chicago Cubs as a senior in high school with the 1,439th overall pick in the 49th round. UF coach Pat McMahon looks to Pete for leadersHn because of his status as one of the team's four seniors, despite throwing just 17.1 innings in 2004. "I think that if you asked Michael about last year, he'd probably tell you that he was trying to overthrow a little bit," McMahon said. Pete agrees with that assessment, using his coach's advice to improve his mid-80's fastball and 12-to-6 curveball. "Istruggled a little bit. I wasn't getting ground balls," Pete said. "We had some other guys step up in those roles. [Pitching] coach [Ross] Jones and Coach Mac and I have been working on straightening that stuff out with my delivery. In 2003, Pete recorded the fourth-best singleseason walksper-nine innings .ratio in UF history, walking 11 in a career-high 71.1 innings.

22, ALLIGATOR_0 THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 2005 NCAA MEN1'sS SWIMMING UF tkesstrkestowrd napig Aubun' strv a By BRIAN STEELE Alligator Writer The bully on the playground no longer has everyone behind him. After failing to dethrone Auburn as Southeastern Conference champions, the No. 4 UF men's swimming and diving team will try again on a bigger stage this weekend. Today starts the 2005 NCAA Championships, hosted by Minnesota. While the Gators know how close they came to stopping Auburn's nine-year SEC championship run, the Tigers' depth became one of the larger obstacles for UF to overcome. With a larger number of qualifiers for the NCAA Championships, the Tigers' advantage may not be as clear as before. UF qualified 14 swimmers and diver Zach Wilcox, while the Tigers are sending 20 total athletes, just five more than the Gators. Even though the numbers gap is slimmer, the Gators know that their 15 athletes must perform. "Everyone has got to do their own part and just race tough," junior Ryan Lochte said. "I know we don't have the advantage; we're not the top team. If we won SECs [then we may have been the favorite], but we didn't. There are other teams besides Auburn that have more guys than us that are going to NCAAs. It's going to be a good meet." Coach Gregg Troy sees even more reasons why the Gators will improve upon two consecutive sixth-place finishes at the NCAA Championships. "I think that we're more experienced and more seasoned," Troy said. "We have a better advantage with our tough c o n f e r e n c e. [Being the underdog at NCAAs] tmaght take the pressure off." Even though the Auburn men hold a monopoly on college swimming right now, that may not be to the disadvantage of underdogs like UP "Everyone's not looking at us, they're looking at Auburn," Lochte said. "We're just one of the teams looking for them. Hopefully, we're going to sneak past them, then." All it takes is one bad day to open the door for others. Lochte knows that the Gators are capable of coming home with the team's first national title in 21 years. "We all feel really confident that we're capable of winning," he said. "Anyone can win on any day, so hopefully it's a Gator day. It's something Florida hasn't been able to do in so long, and I think we have the best chance this year. It'd be awesome to win it." Though Lochte may be earning more and more publicity, he points out that he is only one of 15 UF athletes. If the Gators are to come out on top, it will be because everybody contributed, not just a select few. "I don't think I'd be one of the main components," Lochte said. "It's a team effort, and everyone does their own job." While Lochte may deny that he is one of the focal points of the team, his presence and abilities are certainly a positive attribute. Troy believes there are other advantages, too. "Having as high a profile as Lochte helps other teams overlook most of our other guys," he said. "They use that as a source of motivation. We have more athletes than Lochte." Gators regain killer look after squashing No. 7 Duke N UF DEFEATED ITS SECOND CONSECUTIVE TOP-10 TEAM. By MICHAEL MAURINO Alligator Writer mnaurino@alligator.org Occasionally, all the elements line up: perfect day, perfect conditions and perfect play. For the UF women's tennis team, all of that happened Wednesday night, as the No. 17 Gators defeated No. 7 Duke 4-0. The win follows Sunday's victory against No. 10 North Carolina, capping a stretch during which UF (8-2, 2-2 Southeastern Conference) faced four consecutive top-10 teams. After losing to Vanderbilt and Kentucky to start the run, the Gators now appear to have reacquired their killer look. Coach Roland Thornqvist said he loved the grit and fight his team displayed. "I thought we clearly outhustled them, outworked them, just wanted it more," he said. "To me, that's worth more than just hitting well." Thornqvist, a UNC grad, relishes his last two wins, especially the one against Duke.

"It was nice to beat my alma mater Sunday, but it's twice as sweet to beat the Duke Blue Devils." UF relied on its youth Wednesday. Playing in the sixth position, sophomore Nina Suvak defeated Kristin Cargill 6-2,6-0. After her win, freshman Whitney Benik sealed another point with a 6-3, 6-1 win on court five. With two matches and the doubles point in hand, freshman Alex Liles was in the position to clinch on court three. Falling behind 4-1 to open the match, Liles got her timing back and converted unforced errors into winners. Liles won 11 of the next 12 games, defeating Jenny Zika 6-4,6-0. The freshman exhibited confidence on the court by dictating play, but she was not always so sure she would win. "When I was down 4-1," she said. "I was hoping everyone else would win fast so I wouldn't get a loss." The Gators made quick work of the Blue Devils during the doubles competition. Benik and fellow freshman Lolita Frangulyan, who lost 8-1 on the top court Sunday against UNC, dropped down a court and won 8-2 against Duke. UF's Boglarka Berecz and the Gators swept Duke 4-0 Wednesday night in Gainesville. UF has won two consecutive matches.

By IAN FISHER Alligator Staff Writer ifisher@alligator.org Last week, UF wide receiver Chad Jackson said he and his fellow receivers would be the best group in the country. According to their coach, though, they've got a long way to go. "The University of Florida needs to have the best receivers in America," wide receivers coach Billy Gonzales said. "Are we there right now? I would say we're very, very far off from that right now." Gonzales said the talent exists in the UF receiving corps, but they haven't worked hard enough. He compared the UF receivers to the tnes he coached at Utah the last two years. "One of the reasons Gonzales why we were so good at the last place is because those guys worked," Gonzales said. THrts THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 2005 What happened "They were overachievers. Now what I need to get my guys here who are physically blessed talent-wise -they need to become overachievers. When we can do that, I'll say we got a good group." Jackson and redshirt junior Jemalle Cornelius stood out for their work ethic, Gonzales said. However, he wasn't happy with Wednesday's practice effort. "We're taking small steps; today, I think we took a step back," he said. SEE FOOTBALL, PAGE 24 M osby dis missed from women's team CAROLYN PECK SAID IT WAS HER HARDEST DECISION AS A COACH. STAFF REPORT The best UF women's basketball player is no more. Junior forward Bernice Mosby, who led the Gators in points and rebounds this season, has been dismissed from the team. "This has been the hardest decision I've ever had to make as a coach," Coach Carolyn Peck said in a statement released by UF. "This decision is in the best interest for our basketball program and for Bernice. I wish her the best of luck in the future." Carolyn Peck UF women's basketball coach "This decision is in the best interest for our basketball program and for Bernice. I wish her the best of luck in the future." Mosby can choose to retain an academic scholarship. If she declines, UF will grant her a release from the team, allowing Mosby to furother her collegiate basketball career elsewhere. Mosby's descent from Gators stardom began on Feb. 24 when she was suspended for the first half of UF's loss against Georgia. When the second half began, the forward was nowhere to be seen. She left the team indefinitely the next day. Mosby -concludes her UF career with 1,124 points -No. 17 in program history -and 625 rebounds. She averaged 15.5 points and 8.6 rebounds per game in 2004-05. Mosby started all 25 games she played, averaging a team-best 30.3 minutes per contest. She was a Second Team All-Southeastern Conference selection by the coaches and media this season. Mosby was also voted the 2003-04 SEC Sixth Woman of the Year. Her departure leaves the Gators in a dire situation for next season. Secondarid third-leading scorers Tashia Morehead and Tamia Williams have run out of eligibility. The highest-scoring player returning to UF is junior Brittany Davis, who averaged 8.1 points per game this season. Nick West / Alligator Staff UF forward Bernice Mosby has been dismissed from the Gators after averaging 15.5 points and 8.6 rebounds this season. with Mosby? while most students will be talking about 'UF's latest football practice or the occasional editorial cartoon, many will not notice that Bernice Mosby is off the women's basketball team -permanently. And while the team had a low home attendance and went to the women's NIT this year, there are fans thit still care about the team. They want to know what the heck happened. Whether we'll ever know what happened is a good question. It shouldn't be expected that Coach Snw Carolyn Peck will open up and tell everyone why she decided to make what Gregg Girvan she said was the "the Throwing Girv Balls hardest decision I've ggirvan@alligator.org ever had to make as a coach." Which is unfortunate. I would like to think Urban Meyer would tell us why a player got kicked off the football team. I would like to think Peck would do this as well. No one is asking her to divulge all the behind-the-scenes details or even get into the situation at all. Only that it mayAbe a good idea to state the reason to the fans that came to see Mosby play, who came to see her become the 2004 Southeastern Conference Sixth Woman of the Year and then lead the team in points and rebounds with 15.5 and 8.6, respectively, this season. I won't use the "we have a right to know" card either. More appropriate is the fact that the fans want to know. If I had to make a prediction, I'd say someone's going to find out the critical "why" one way or another. Maybe it will come from the basketball program. Maybe it will come from Mosby while she's still attending UF. Or maybe it will appear in another college town's newspaper in the event she transfers. Hopefully, the fans will get the answer soon. Another important question in the meantime is how the women's basketball team is going to recover. One of the many reasons Peck's decision was a hard one was undoubtedly because Mosby was productive. With the loss of Mosby and with Tashia Morehead, Tishona Gregory SEE GIRV BALLS, PAGE 24 6 lNCAA Men's Basketball: Louisville vs. Washington CBS, 7 p.m. 0 NCAA Men's Basketball : Texas Tech vs. West Virginia CBS, 9;30 p.m. w, UF sophomore Kurt Lee is fifth in the decathlon after the first day of competition in the Florida Relays.

Kentucky at last -1/23/1965 -UF actually defeated Kentucky in the 1934 SEC Tournament, but it was considered a fluke under old basketball rules. In '65, the Gators finally scored a shocking 84-68 victory against the Wildcats in front a first-ever national TV audience. 27. Zook's Lst Stand -11/20/2004 -FSU's stadium was renamed Bobby Bowden Field, but the already-fired Ron Zook stole the show, leading UF to a surprising 20-13 victory against the Seminoles. Zook was carried off the field a hero. 26. UF meets Big Apple -3/13/1969 -Today the NIT is second-tier, but in '69, when only one team per conference made the NCAAs (see: Kentucky), it was a big deal. The No. 10 Gators, in their first postseason, lost to Temple in the first round of the NIT. 25. Probation -10/24/1984 & 9/21/1990 -Twice UF wenton probation for various NCAA violations. The result?

The Seminoles scored 26 points ending the game in a 31-31tie that ruined UPs championship hopes. Kate Mullan / Alligator Staff and Tamia Williams being outgoing seniors, the Gators will have quite a year ahead of them. Someone's going to have to step up. It's a good thing the crop of freshmen that came in FOOTBALL, from page 23 NOT-SO-FULL BACK: Meyer's offense eliminates the fullback position. That presented a problem for two UF players. Former fullbacks Eric Rutledge and Billy Latsko were moved to linebacker. Meyer was impressed with one. "They're doing good," Meyer said. "Latsko is a little further ahead. Latsko is going to play, though; he's doing really well." Meyer said Rutledge's speed is a problem. Position aside, both just really want to play, Meyer said. "You're dealing with two -all they want to do is play," Meyer said. "Latsko -you can tell him, 'Your position is going to be hanging off that goalpost for the whole game.' 'OK, coach; I'll go do it."' DEFENSIVE REVENGE: Meyer has dubbed Wednesdays and Saturdays winner-loser days. On Saturday, the offense won on the last play. On Wednesday, there wasn't any competition. "Defense kind of handed it to the offense today, which you'd probably expect this time of year," Meyer said. "I think there were some positives on defense. Can't think of a whole lot of positives on offense except it was a good attitude." While the defense left practice, the offense had to rn around the practice fields. JOINERRE-JOINS: Sophomore safety Tony Joiner returned to practice Wednesday after missing practice since Friday for personal reasons. "I'm glad to be back out here," Joiner said. "Feeling good, feeling good." GIRV BALLS, from page 23 for 2001-2002, all five of which played at the same time in their first season, will be around. Minus Mosby, of course. The four that remain will provide excellent senior leadership, which is why there's hope for the 2005-06 season. After all that has happened this season, hope is a good thing.
