Alcohol blamed in UF student's death
* CHRISTOPHER SMALL
DIED IN JANUARY CRASH.
By ELIZABETH PRANN
Alligator Writer
eprann@alligator.org
Autopsy results for
Gainesville's first traffic fatality
of 2005 that claimed the life of
Christopher James Small show
the UF student's blood contained
nearly three times the legal limit
of alcohol.
Early the morning of Jan. 28,
Small was driving his 1997 Acura
Integra alone southbound on
Northwest 34th Street.
When he sped through the
intersection of Northwest 16th
Avenue at an estimated 90 mph,
his car became airborne, rolled
and crashed into .a telephone
pole, Gainesville Police spokes-
man Keith Kameg said.
The speed limit
Public at the intersection
Safety where the accident
occurred is posted at
35 mph. Small was pronounced
dead at the scene.
Postmortem examination
reports from the Office of the-
Medical Examiner state that
Small's blood-alcohol level was
.20, two and a half times the legal
limit.
The Florida Highway Patrol
Web site characterizes .08 blood-
alcohol content as the legal limit
for impairment.
William F. Hamilton of the
Medical Examiner's Office con-
ducted three tests, including a
comprehensive drug screen, to
determine whether any substanc-
es were present in Small's body
at the time of the accident.
In addition to Small's blood-
alcohol level of .20, his urine
tested at .27 and his vitreous
humor, fluid taken from the eye
and considered to yield the most
reliable result of the three, regis-

Gay benefits

UF may be on the cusp of providing
partner benefits to gay and lesbian fac-
ulty and staff but probably not until the
Florida Legislature goes on spring break.

who control much of the
university's funding.
UF President Bernie
Machen said in a recent
Cohen interview that acquiring
the benefits "is not a matter of if, but a mat-
ter of when," noting there have been some
"technical problems."
The benefits issue is expected to come
before the UF Board of Trustees sometime
this year, UF Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and
Transgender Affairs Director Tamara-Cohen
said in January.
In addition, interim Provost Joe Glover
told the Orlando Sentinel earlier this month
that UF could be the first state university to
provide same-sex partner benefits.

did not reply to requests seeking comment.

Polls open in today's city election races
Absentee, early votes
higher than past years

Gainesville residents dissatisfied with present ......-
regulations and representation will find voting in
today's election crucial if they want a shift in power.
Today is the last day to vote in the City
Commission races to choose three of the seven mem- -
bers who set and control citywide policies.
Alachua County Supervisor of Elections Pain
Carpenter emphasized the importance of taking part
in local elections.
"These are the people that have the biggest differ-
ence in our day-to-day lives," Carpenter'said.
Nine candidates are vying for the City
Commission seats, and campaigning could be seen
all around the city.
With a combined total of $137,000 in monetary
contributions, local lawns as well as street corners
crowded with sign-waving supporters have been
festive affairs for every candidate.
Continuing a trend from November, residents
also hit the polls early, resulting in higher numbers
in absentee ballots And early votes over previous
years' local elections.
In 2003, early voting, which begins two weeks be-
fore the election, only yielded 346 votes, Carpenter
said.
"We're well above that," she said.
As of 6 p.m. Monday, tallied early votes totaled
515, a more than 100-vote increase.
But absentee ballots have a more profound effect
on the election than early votes.
"The absentee-ballot voting seems to be going
right in line," Carpenter said. "We've had over 1,000 Casey Anderson/ Alligator Staff
that have voted absentee." Crevan O'Ceallbigh and Kienan Hanrahan get in some last-minute

CITY COMMISSION
GPD officers 'pay' disrespect to commissioners
By BRIAN HAGEN
Alligator Writer
bhagen@alligator.org
Frustrated Gainesville Police
officers leaned their picket signs
against City Hall doors and filled
the City Commission meeting
Monday.
Spurred by statements from
Jeff McAdams, president of the
Fraternal Order of Police, GPD's
expired contracts with the city be-
came a focus of the meeting.
"The police have been oper-
ating without a contract since
September," McAdams said. "Why
the delay?"
About 25 officers stood up with
McAdams as he addressed the
commission, saying that while he
has "a great deal of confidence in
the commission," he believes that
Human Resources and its director,
Tom Motes, created delays in rene-
gotiating GPD's contracts.
"We think we're being deliber-
ately deceived," he said.
Motes said delays .came from
both sides and that higher-ups
involved in the negotiations chose
not to share contract offers with the
rank-and-file officers.'
McAdams' proposal consists of
a 26 percent raise in pay for GPD
officers to be implemented over
three years as well as other benefits
he said are in line with other agen-
cies in the state.
Commissioner Braddy pro-
posed holding a meeting between
the police union and the city April
12, about a month in advance of its
original date.
Troubled funding for bringing
a major charity event involving ce-
lebrities such as Daunte Culpepper,
Trick Daddy and Benji Brown to
Gainesville also was revisited.
At a previous session, the
Commission declined granting
money for the event because of
concern that it would significantly
deplete city funds and -that the
scholarships and organizations
benefiting would not be local.
The foundation asked the city to
provide law enforcement, portable
toilet facilities, tables; chairs and
shuttle bus service for a suggested
total of $25,000 for the fourth annu-
al Clinton Portis Charity Weekend.
Following Alachua County's
lead, the commission granted
$15,000 to fund the event with
strings attached.
Commissioners had many
questions about the benefits to
Gainesville, but Rodney Long,
Alachua County commissioner
and foundation president, was not
present to explain because he was
recuperating from the 48 hours he
spent on Gainesville streets learn-
ing about homelessness last week.

dation benefits are not promised to

of Commissioner Rick Bryant.
The Commission compromised,
promising the funds in return for a
letter from the charity guarantee-
ing that Gainesville would receive
benefits from the event, named for
the Washington Redskins running
back and Gainesville High School
graduate.
The agreement can be changed
in the future.
Gabriel Kaimowitz, At-Large
candidate for the commission, also
took the podium at the meeting to
announce his candidacy to have
been "primarily to investigate as an
observer and researcher" the pow-
erlessness of the City Commission.

UF makes plan to alleviate parking pains
* PLANS CALL FOR TWO NEW
PARKING GARAGES BY 2009.
By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org
UF will always have an on-campus
parking problem, a university official
acknowledged Monday, but he insists
the issue is not being ignored.
"I know we have a lot more decal
holders than we have parking," said
James Morgan, director of UF's Business
Services Division. "We could never have
a one-to-one ratio. We don't have space
for it. We don't have the money for it."
Despite the alleged lack of funding,
Morgan said plans are in place for two
new parking garages within the next
four years, as well as 10 to 13 new bus
shelters by Fall 2005.
Morgan said the revenue created by
decals and student fees are expected to
pay for the facilities.
"We have more garages than any
other college in the nation," Morgan said
about UF's total of 13 garages.
UF Business Services Division,
Transportation and Parking Services,
and the Student Traffic Court have been
deliberating where the new facilities
should be located.
Student Government Treasurer
Dennis Ngin said SG is powerless when
it comes to parking.
"Parking is an ongoing issue. It's
probably never going to be solved,"
Ngin said. "We have a lot of students on
this campus with limited space. It's just
one of those things. There's no parking
on campus, and no SG official can feasi-
bly fix the parking problem."
Morgan said his organization has
reached out to SG to solve UF's parking
problem.
"We really set the priorities with
Student Government," he said. "We're
trying to do everything we can to be
proactive."
Morgan admits that parking on-cam-
pus is not perfect, acknowledging that
the number of decals sold greatly out-
numbers available parking spaces by as
much as 250 percent.
Three telephone calls and an e-mail
to Transportation and Parking Director
Scott Fox over the course of a week seek-
ing comment about this
On. practice were not returned.
Cmpus Morgan said he believes
the practice of patience is
the key to a successful parking system.
"There are parking spaces available
on campus at any particular time,"'
Morgan said, adding students are re-
luctant to wait for a bus. "That 10 or 15
minutes is 10 or 15 minutes that people
don't have patience with."
Morgan encouraged students to
.utilize Regional Transit System buses,
which are free to all UF students simply
by showing their Gator 1 Card to the
driver, to help alleviate traffic conges-
tion.
"You can get a lot more people on the
bus than in a car. In the future, whether
people like it or not, they are going to be
taking that extra 10 or 15 minutes to go to
work," he said.
Peter Dayton, a UF building-con-
struction sophomore, had his share of
on-campus parking troubles last week.
Dayton's SUV was parked in front of
the Murphree Area, a Red 1 zone, when
he received a note from his Resident
Assistant telling him to go the area desk
or his car would be towed.
"I was kind of puzzled since I was
parked legally," Dayton said.
The Murphree Area desk attendant
told him that UF Transportation and
Parking Services called and he would
have to move his car so a lamppost light-
bulb could be changed.
"So it was in the middle of the day
and I had class and everything like that,"
Dayton said. "Parking Services told me,
at first, that if I called (University Police)
they would find another place for me to
park my car because at that time. of day,
it's very hard to find parking."
However when he called UPD,
Dayton said he was told that was inac-
curate.
"I would just have to do my best to
find another Red 1 (space), which would
probably not be open at that time," he
said.
Dayton said he did not end up mov-
ing his car because he would be creating
another problem for someone else.
"I was about to move my car, and then
I realized someone is probably going to
pull in there in about five minutes, and
they are going to have the same problem.
(Transportation and Parking Services)
would just have to call them, track them
down, get them to move it and all that,"
Dayton said.
Though he was not farhiliar with
Dayton's experience, Morgan admitted
the situation could have been handled
differently.
."There's other times to change light-
bulbs, too," Morgan said. "That sounds
like it could have been worked out bet-
ter."

UF ADMINISTRATION
Professor: UF should be 'Berkeley of the Southeast'
By EMILY YEHLE
Alligator Writer
*eyehle@alligator.org
UF should rise above the univer-
sity system pack and become the
"Berkeley of the Southeast," said a
UF professor who wrote a report
for the Board of Governors.
Grant Thrall told the state uni-
versities' highest governing power
Thursday that Florida's higher-
education system might not be able
to keep up with rapidly increasing
population, which is set t6 exceed
New York's in 10 to 15 years.
The solution, he said, is to imi-
tate California's university system,
dividing public colleges into two
tiers.
The top tier includes institutions
that attract the best faculty and stu-
dents, such as Berkeley The second
tier is made up of universities that
serve more local needs.
Additional university branches
or entirely new schools could be
added to that second tier to take
care of increasing student num-
bers.
In his report, Thrall discovered
that only UF, FSU and FAMU had
a significant percentage of students
from all over the state, while the
other eight universities drew about
80 percent of their students locally.
UF draws statewide interest be-
cause of its academics, he said, and
thus brings Florida's best students.
Thrall, a City Commission can-
didate, said his suggestions mesh
with UF President Bernie Machen's
top university aspirations.
"Both of us have a shared vi-
sion that the University of Florida
will become the Berkeley of the
"Does a Ferrari cost more
than a Volkswagen? If you
want the best, you have
to pay for it. If you want to
drive Ferrari, you have to
pay."

U F professor
Southeast, and I think we are
poised to become that," he said.
But becoming a peer of Berkeley
means UF needs more money to at-
tract top-notch faculty, Thrall said.
That .money would have to come
from the Legislature or, more likely,
from the students.
"Does a Ferrari cost more than a
Volkswagen?" Thrall asked. "If you
want the best, you have to pay for
it. If you want to drive Ferrari, you
have to pay."
To meet a demand from local
students, he said, the state has
three options: create a UF branch
campus, reserve undergraduate
seats at UF or build an entirely new
university.
Machen said that if UF had a
branch campus, it might affect the
university's quality. The solution
should balance access, cost and
quality, he said.
"Branch campuses for compre-
hensive, high-quality universities
have not worked around the coun-
try," he wrote in an e-mail. "This
approach addresses access but not
cost of quality."
Lynn Pappas, a Board of
Governors" member, said the gov-
ernors have to look closer at demo-
graphics before developing a plan.
The board hasn't decided
whether a need exists for more
higher-education opportunities,
she added.
. Thrall's report assumed
students couldn't leave their
geographic area to go to college,
Pappas said. However, she said
she was not convinced that a
four-hour drive to a non-local uni-
versity would stop students from
going to school.
But if closer inspection reveals
students who are tied down locally,
perhaps by a family or job, more lo-
cal opportunities may be necessary,
she said.
"I am certainly not prepared to
say we know enough of geographic
access to say that the California
model is what we want to pro-
pose," she said.
UF surveys staffers to gauge campuswide satisfaction
* THE RESULTS OF THE 82-QUESTION
SURVEY ARE EXPECTED IN JUNE.
By STEPHANIE GARRY
Alligator Staff Writer
smgarry@alligator.org
The group that represents UF's staff and
non-tenured faculty distributed 8,200 surveys
Friday in hopes of discovering the top two
or three things UF employees would change
about their workplace.
The campaign, called "Your Voice Your
UF," is the first-ever formal attempt by the.
university to gauge staff sentiments, said Jani
Sherrard, chairwoman of the Academic &
Professional Assembly, the group coordinat-
ing the survey.
"This is the first time it has been done cam-
puswide," Sherrard said. "It is an enormous,
positive opportunity to provide feedback."
To handle the 82-answer questionnaire, UF
hired International Survey Research, the same
company that conducted a faculty survey last
Spring, for about $77,000, said Ed Poppell, vice
-president for administrative affairs.
The company will compare UF's results to
employers around the country. Independent.
survey-taking also allows more anonymity in
collecting the responses, UF documents state.
The assembly has worked on the logistics
of the survey since December, including cat-
egorizing 186 workplaces around the state,
holding focus groups to generate questions
and testing a preliminary survey before mak-
ing the final version, Sherrard said.
Overall, about 150. employees had input
into the process, she said.
The survey also comes with a widespread
public-relations campaign. Fliers and notices
have appeared around campus, on the presi-.
dent's Web site and the myUFL portal.
Both UF President Bernie Machen and
Human Resources Director Larry Ellis sent"
e-mails to staff encouraging them to fill out
the survey during work time and stressing the
confidentiality of responses although one
of the first questions asks staffers to identify
which department they-work in.
"This project is based on my belief that
improvement is fueled by
. ..direct and candid feed-
S4 .l. back," Machen wrote in late
S January.
The assembly hopes to
beat.the response rate of last
t year's faculty survey, which
was 43 percent, Sherrard
said, adding that a response
Poppell rate of more than 50 percent
is considered terrific.
"I think people are very aware of the staff
survey," she said, and with questions unique
to UF and a good response rate, it should "re-
flect concretely on the UF experience."
Machen endorsed the idea after speaking
to the assembly in the Fall.
While the faculty survey showed discon-
tentment with pay and recognition, UF's staff
have had a difficult year with the implementa-
tion of a completely new, web-based account-
ing system that changed the work of many
employees in fundamental ways.
But Sherrard hopes the results of the
survey, expected in June, will coincide with
Machen's reorganization of human resources.
The president recently created a new position,
vice president for human resources, to address
morale issues for faculty and staff.
This semester, Machen hired Kyle
Cavanaugh of the University of Texas at
Austin as theifirst to fill the post, which reports
directly to the president. Cavanaugh takes of-
fice May 1.
Dale McPherson, a coordinator for the
Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences,
said he completed his survey Friday.
"I think it's good for the administration
to know .what the people who work for
them think and feel about the organization,"
McPherson said.

Two UF students win prestigious Goldwater scholarship
* THREE HUNDRED UNDERGRADU-
ATES NATIONWIDE GET THE AWARD.
By JEFF SIRMONS
Alligator Writer
jsirmons@alligator.org
Joseph Wilson knew he was going to be
an engineer when he was a child. In high
school, he did engineering research at UCF.
At UF, he said he thinks organic chemistry
and modern physics are "just fine."
"I'm not completely geeky," he said.
"I do kung fu and go clubbing, and I like
Starbucks I do some normal college
stuff."
But it's not his dancing that won this
UF electrical-engineering sophomore the
prestigious $7,500 Barry M. Goldwater
Scholarship it's his dedication to sci-
ence.
"I can see myself creating advanced im-
ages of the heart and creating innovative
signal-processing techniques for it in the
future," said Wilson, who plans to pursue
a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering.
Wilson presented his UCF research in
Taiwan as a high school- senior to hun-
dreds of electrical-engineering experts.
As a UF freshman, he presented his
summer biomedical engineering research
at the national Biomedical
On Engineering Society confer-
Campus ence in Philadelphia.
"I really enjoyed biomedi-
-cal engineering because it 'allowed me to
apply my electrical-engineering research
to the field of medicine," he said.
Wilson credited UF's honors program
as the catalyst for achievement.
The scholarship is given to 300 under-
graduates nationwide who plan to pursue
a Ph.D. in a math- or science-related field.
UF chemistry senior Edwin Homan also
won a Goldwater Scholarship. He received
the honor while conducting chemistry re-
search in France under, the leadership of
Jean-Marie Lehn, who won the 1987 Nobel
Peace Prize for research in supramolecular
chemistry.
"[Homan's] really scary smart," said
-Randolph Duran, UF chemistry profes-
sor. "He took our most advanced gen-
eral chemistry course as a freshman and
walked right through it, no sweat."

Editorial
Quota quandry
Degree restrictions leave
rights of students behind
Imagine you are a high school student who had applied to
UF. After months of waiting and wondering if you'd
have to make that dark and shameful journey to our
northern rivals after all you finally get a response.
It's the thick packet, instead of the slim envelope that
screams "form letter," so you're understandably excited. You
open it up and, sure enough, it's an acceptance letter.
"Dear -Really Smart Student, we want to congratulate
you..."
After the pleasantries, however, there's a much more dis-
turbing message.
"Based on your skills and aptitudes, as well as our current
needs, your major will be: mechanical engineering."
You're confused because you've never been interested in
engineering in your life. But it's there in plain writing, along
with a disclaimer that you will forfeit all state scholarships if
you deviate from your given major.
As you happen to be president of the drama club with
your eyes on a dual theater/English degree, this doesn't
make you too happy.
The fact that you haven't cracked the "C" barrier in math
since you were counting monkeys and green apples in kin-
dergarten doesn't make you too optimistic either.
Sound crazy? It may be extreme, but it's a possibility if the
Board of Governors goes forward with its plans to require
state universities to meet degree quotas.
In case you missed the article in Friday's Alligator, the
board decreed that the State University System should be
graduating 50 percent of its students in nine areas of concen-
tration by the 2012-2013 academic year.
These nine areas not surprisingly are concentrated
in the competitive medical and technological fields, as well
as education.
Under this system, the other 200 degree programs at UF
would receive only the remaining 50 percent of these stu-
dents.
So what happens if students don't want to major in those
nine areas? One possibility is that the predicted major stu-
dents put down on college applications could be used as a
serious consideration of who to accept.
Another would be an actual regulation of who stays in
which major as described above, enforced by scholarship al-
location or other incentives to stay on university-approved
academic tracks.
But wait, the board has an idea to help alleviate the prob-.
lem of universities not receiving enough students interested
in select areas: let individual universities spread the wealth.
Because the degree quota is statewide, rather than based
on the percentage of graduates from each university, the
state schools could agree to take on a heavier load of stu-
dents in areas in which they already have sufficient par-
ticipation. In return, other universities would pick up their
slack in areas for which they lacked interested students or
facilities.
To put it bluntly, this cannot work. If the board wants to
institute programs that encourage high school students to
choose certain majors, fine. If they want to increase scholar-
ship awards to students in these areas, great.
But you try to tell the budding Joyce or Mozart that he or
she is going to spend the next four years in the computer lab,
like it or not.

Modest proposal fo
o what if the Board of Governors wants to institute
degree quotas?
The Florida educational system is in shambles
these days, and we need something to shake it up.
Educators say we should increase funding and invest
in our children's futures, but when has throwing money
at a problem ever solved anything?
Under the harsh new degree regulations, universities
will have to get creative. They'll have to evolve if they
want to survive.
This will produce a stronger, leaner and, I posit,
more entertaining State University System.
I say this because I think this is a perfect time for
Florida universities to combine two of their favorite
things: the fight for the cream of the crop of our high
school students and the NFL draft that costs them so
many of their best athletes.
Throw those two things into the sociopolitical blend-
er and we get a new yearly event for the handicappers,
to handicap and the pundits to pund about: the Florida
Student Draft.
It'd be simple: each university would get a certain
number of picks, depending on how many students
they could handle. :
They would use these to fill out academic areas they
were weak in. It'd be just like when the Buccaneers
decide they need a new quarterback and some line-
men, only now it'd be a special-ed teacher and some
engineers.
What's to stop the top universities from dominat-
ing the draft with their extra picks? Easy: Institutions
would be ranked depending on how well they did in
last year's Quota Bowl.
Unfortunately, this means UF probably would spend
the first few years taking picks from the bottom and rid-
ing on their past successes, while FSU and UCF take all
of the top picks.
The views expressed here are not
ALLIGATOR
www.alligator.org/opinions
r university system
But if parity works for the
NFL, it certainly could work for
the educational system.
The best thing about this is
that the different universities
will be forced to work together,
Matt Sanchez even if they absolutely hate each
Editorial Notebook other.
msanchez@alligator.org UF doesn't want to give up
that computer whiz from Tampa
who already owns three software
companies? Okay,.but it's going to- cost them when
they're short two nursing students at the end of the
term and FSU won't settle for a couple of architects and
a second-round pick.
There will be setbacks, of course. We may see a univer-
sity going on probation after offering a plump scholar-
ship to a nationally ranked business student in exchange
for a conveniently timed switch over to medicine just
before a competitor could snatch him or her up.
And if the system really takes off, we'll have to deal
with schools padding their sports teams with awkward
honors kids so they could sneak a few' more in under
the degree cap.
But what's a little corruption on the glorious path
toward progress?
So, if you want to improve the educational system
from the ground up, don't put more money into the sys-
tem. That's just not good business, and it's not going to
make apathetic students care anyway.
Instead, court them with math groiupies, free
Bentleys and a chance to go on national TV and hold up
a polo. shirt from the university that picked.them in the
first round.
If that's not an incentive for Florida kids to hit the
books, I don't know what is.

Letters to the Editor
The Alligator chooses design over content
Editor: Despite being aggressively mis-.
quoted by the Alligator in a story earlier this
semester, I did not write then to ask for cor-
rection or clarification. However, Monday's
story about the Gainesville Sun's effort to
move in on campus, get Student Government
money and produce a wraparound
features'n'news section gives the wrong im-
pression. You guys need to get it right.
The headline on the jump of the story on
page 9 says the journalism college "backs"
the Sun plan. Yet, our dean is not quoted in
the story, and I appear only in the last sen-
tence really a non-sentence, since it was
obviously cut to fit and ends with a comma.
The quote-out from me that decorates the
second part of the story does not appear in
the story.
I don't hold the reporter responsible. I
assume she accurately quoted me in a part
of the story that was cut. If it had been in-
cluded, it would have been clear that we
are skeptical about this wraparound section
seen as a possible competitor to the Alligator.
Competition is good. The Alligator needs
competition. But this project is apparently
driven by the Sun's circulation department,
not its news department. No one on. the
Sun news staff has contacted me about this.
If the newspaper plans to use our students
as unpaid interns, we need to approve this
project for those students to receive credit.
The Sun insists its interns earn credit, since it
doesn't pay them. For the record: We want
our students to have paid internships. (Since
professional work is expected of the student,
being treated like a professional is important.
Professionals get paid.)
For decades, the Sun and the journalism
program had a great relationship. Students
produced full sections -,later cut to single
pages for the Sun on a daily or twice-week-
ly schedule. The Sun ended that relationship
in the early '90s. We would welcome a good
working relationship with the Sun's news de-
partment. This project, however, seems like a
cynical effort to dine at the SG trough.
The errors in Monday's story and my
aggressive misquote in a story earlier this
year seem to be the result of poor editing,
of allowing design (stories that had to fit in
boxes drawn by page designers) to dictate
content. Try to get it right next time.
William McKeen
Professor and chair, Department of Journalism
Even Republicans say 'wars' are too much
Editor: As a conservative, I tend to cringe
every time I read Andrew Meyer's column.
His writings condemning the privatization
of Social Security are ignorant at best and
deceitful at worst. Last Friday's column
lambasting "big government" Republicans,
however, was dead on. The War oi Drugs,
the War to Save Baseball, the War to Save
Terri Schiavo and the most ambitious yet
- the War to Save the World from Tyranny
- are an embarrassment to the conservative
tradition of small, limited government.
To be fair, it should be pointed out that
the War to Save Baseball is being fought by a
bi-partisan army, not solely a Republican one;
marijuana arrests ballooned under President
Bill Clinton's Justice Department despite the
fact that college kids still think his admin-
istration was the "grooviest" yet; and Janet
Reno's travesties with Waco, Ruby Ridge and
Elian Gonzalez were more indicative of a po-
lice state than anything that has come to pass
under the Patriot Act.,
Still, with their own well-intentioned-but-
always-bungled "wars" to save humanity,
Republicans are trampling individual liber-
ties, flouting the Constitution and doing
as big a disservice to our founders who
considered government but a necessary evil,
as does the failed socialism of the Democrats'
Wars on Poverty and Unemployment.

Editor's note
The preceding letter from
Professor William McKeen
resulted after a production er-
ror caused Emily Yehle's story
"Sun seeks UF newspaper
deal" in Monday's Alligator
erroneously to contain dupli-
cate paragraphs and to omit
the concluding paragraphs.
The article, as it should
have appeared Monday, has
been reprinted on page 9 of
today's Alligator. ,
The Alligator staff certainly
did not intend this to happen.
We believe the complete
version of the article addresses
the concerns of the letter. For
example, Terry Hynes, dean of
the College of Journalism and
Communications, is quoted in
the full version.
Despite being apprised of
the error, McKeen stood by
his statements, including his
belief that the story and his
comments were cut to fit the
design of, the paper.

Bill may cover
transplant costs
By SKYLER SMITH
Alligator Writer
ssmith@alligator.org
Florida patients faced with
inadequate funding for a life-
saving lung transplantat may
receive help from the Florida
Legislature.
Rep. Larry Cretul, R-Ocala,
unveiled House
State Bill 453, also
NeWS known as the
Josh Abbott Lung
Transplant Bill for a local boy
who inspired him to propose
it, in the Shands at UF atrium
Monday afternoon.
The legislation would fund
the disparity in cost between
the price of a lung transplant
and Medicaid's current funding,
which stands at approximately
$227,000 per pediatric patient.
"Quite simply, this is a good
bill, and I'm sponsoring it be-
cause it will save additional
young lives and will allow these
young people, like Josh, to live a
longer, healthier and productive
life," Cretul said. "Josh and oth-
ers like him fight hard every day
with battles you and I can't even
imagine, and I found out there's
something I can do to help."
Abbott, 21, has cystic fibrosis
and is awaiting a double lung
transplant.
At this time, transplant pa-
tients who cannot afford the full
cost of their treatment must fund-s
raise to cover the extra medical
costs associated with their care.
Shands at UF is the. only
Medicaid-approved lung-trans-
plant center in Florida, Shands
spokesman Lance Skelly said.
According to Cretul's office,
$3.4 million is currently appro-
priated to fund the bill.
"I'm tickled to death that
there is money available," Cretul
said. "What we have to have to
hope and pray for are that there
will be donors."
Sen. Rod Smith, D-Gainesville,
is sponsoring a similar bill in the
Florida Senate. Cretul said he
hopes his bill passes before the
session ends May 6.
Blunt head trauma
resulted in death
SMALL, from page 1
tered at .21.
However,. though Kameg previously said a small
amount of marijuana was found near the crash site,
no other substances werefound in Small's body.
The report lists cause of death as a result of blunt,
traumatic head injury sustained in the crash.
It is not known whether Small was wearing a
seatbelt. -
Small was wearing a striped, button-down shirt
with jeans, and around his wrist were two bands,
one bearing "a white background and repetitive im-
ages of a cowboy boot and cowboy hat," according
to the report.
The markings are consistent with accounts from
Small's friend *and former roommate,
Public Gary Goldberg, who said Small was
Safety coming from the downtown club :08,
a popular hangout for UF students on
Thursday night.
The accident happened on Friday morning.
About 50 friends and acquaintances of the UF
finance junior and honor student gathered for a
memorial that night to share stories and pray for
his family.
Friends remember "Smalls," nicknamed for his
short stature, for his love of sports and outgoing
personality.
A lifetime car enthusiast, Small bought and paid
for the Integra himself last Fall and was looking
forward to acquiring others in the future, his father,
Larry, said.
"He loved being at college, he loved all of his
friends, and just loved being there," his father told
the Alligator in a previous interview. "He loved be-
ing a Gator."
Small was an active member of the.Fellowship of
Christian Athletes and Kappa Sigma Fraternity.

Trustee ag-Iainst gay, lesbian partner benefits.
BENEFITS, from page 1
probably only a short time away,
from having domestic-partner ben-
efits for faculty-and staff," at a March
21 Pride Student Union event.
However, state Rep. Dennis
Baxley, R-Ocala, recently criticized
UF for appointing a director of
lesbian and gay affairs, saying, "It
makes it difficult for me to come
up here and support giving more
taxpayer dollars to institutions with
these kinds of values."
But many of the schools UF seeks
to emulate have those "values."
Eight out of the U.S. News &
World Report Top 10 public universi-
ties offer their faculty and staff some
form of ,domestic-partner benefits,
such as health care or discounted
tuition. The University of Michigan,
where Machen once worked, has
offered its faculty domestic partner
benefits for 10 years.
Despite- the political climate,
Miclhii.an officials. "will continue
to otter these benefits and, should
we be challenged, we will defend
our right to do so," Vice President
Laurita Thomas wrote in. an open
a letter posted on
the university's
Web site.
But UF Trustee
Al Warrington
said UP would
be wrong to fol-
low in the steps
Warrington of Michigan and
University of
California schools.
"The fact that a few left-coast
schools have done it doesn't impress
me," he said. "They do all kinds of
wrong things out there."
Warrington, for whom UF's col-
lege of business is named, was op-
posed to the benefits issue when it
came up at a Trustees meeting in
2003.
"It's a violation against state law
and biblical law," he said. "I'm not
for discrimination, but this tears at
the moral fiber of our country."
Domestic-partner benefits would
open a "Pandora's box" because
unmarried heterosexual couples and
people in casual relationships might
abuse the system, he said.
"There's just no limit on it,"
Warrington said. "It's an endless
pit."
' It's hard to say how domestic-
partner benefits would affect UF's
standing with the Legislature,
though lawmakers are inclined to
appoint trustees-who do not sup-
port domestic-partner benefits, he
added.
"I think they appreciate the fact
that someone's willing to stand up
for Florida law and not be in favor
of the university administration," he
said. "Short of the Lord, no one will
change my opinion."

Newspaper seeks greener pastures on UF campus
Editor's note: The following ,
article originally appeared in
Monday's Alligator. See pg. 7 for
more information.
By EMILY YEHLE
Alligator Writer
eyehle@alligator.org
The Gainesville Sun is on
its "hands and knees begging"
Student Government to pay more
than $16,000 for its newspapers to
be placed around campus for free,
said Student Sen. Stephanie Ruby,
who has been involved in the ne-
gotiations.
The Sun has approached SG
several times over the past few
years with a proposal to make its
papers available to students for
free like The New York Times and
USA Today, said Jim Miller, circu-
lation director.
SG officials, including Student
Body Treasurer Dennis Ngin,
have been in talks with the Sun to
distribute the paper throughout
campus during the Summer and
Fall. Both parties say the proposal
is tentative.
For the Summer, the program
could cost students approximately
$4,000 for about 500 papers a day.
If the distribution is successful
during the Summer, SG officials
will consider a $12,500 program
for the Fall, where 1,250 papers a
day would be provided.
All the money would come
from SG's tuition-funded re-
serves.
Furthermore, SG and the Sun
have talked about including a
two-page insert that would be
student-oriented. The section
would probably be written by in-
terns and edited
by the Sun's
staff, Miller said.
Ruby said she
envisioned the
pages includ-
ing stories and
advertisements
McKeen about organiza-
tions' events. ,
"This has the potential to be
fun and artsy at the same time as
being hard news," she said.
Both Miller and Ruby said
the section could create more
opportunities for students to get
published.
Providing-an alternative to the
Alligator also would help both
papers produce better stories,
Ruby said.
"My own view is that a little
competition is a good thing, and
while the Alligator is a great stu-
dent newspaper, it would push
both newspapers to check facts,"
she said.
However, Miller- said he
didn't think the program would
make the Sun a competitor to the
Alligator.
While the Alligator's circula-
tion is 39,000, most of which is
distributed around campus, the
Sun is only talking about a little
more than 1,000 papers a day, he
added.
The free papers would provide
a service to students and increase
the Sun's circulation, which is ap-
pealing to its staff and advertisers,
Miller said. Furthermore, the Sun
runs more nationwide and state
news .than the Alligator, he said.
"It's apparent to me that
they're so different," he said.
City Commission candidate
and Student Sen. Mike Belle, who
has been pushing the proposal,
agrees that the additional paper
will add something different to
campus.
The Sun, he said, would pro-
vide students with stories by writ-
ers who are "entrenched" in the
local scene.
Although Ngin has been in-
volved in the talks with the Sun,
he said he is unsure of whether
more money should be poured
into newspapers when SG already
'spends $40,000 a year to provide
free New York Times and USA
Today newspapers. Add to that
the Alligator, and students might
have all their bases covered, he
said.
Belle said cost was the issue
when the Sun staff approached SG
executives last summer. Student
Senate had just spent $40,000 on
the readership program, and it
was unclear how another similar
program would benefit the stu-
dents.
Body President
Jamal Sowell
decided not to
pursue the offer,
o .said Belle and
Student Body
Hynes President-elect
Joe Goldberg,
who was the Student Senate
president at the time. Sowell was
unavailable for comment.
Goldberg said he supported the
program, -which would include a
student-oriented Web site.
"I think it's great," he said. "I
think students need another out-
let besides the Alligator."
Goldberg said he would con-
tinue the talks when he takes his
position in May but promised to
continue the current readership
program, which must be funded
annually.
Although the Sun has never
had a deal with SG, several ver-
sions of the-two-page insert have
occurred over the years.
Once students wrote a few pag-
es at the Sun as part of a journal-
ism course, said William McKeen,
chairman of the department of
journalism within the College of
Journalism and Communications.
"The department has always
regretted that the Sun chose to
discontinue letting our students
produce pages for the paper,"
he wrote in an e-mail. "That's
why it's funny to hear this rumor
- coming from students."
And Miller said, about 10 or 15
years ago a student-oriented page
appeared in the paper, which
was mostly written by student
interns.
Bringing the section back ap-
pealed to some journalism admin-
istrators.
McKeen and Terry Hynes,
dean of the College of Journalism
and Communications, said they
support the program.
The information has come
from word-of-mouth, and the col-
lege has not been included in talks
with the Sun, they said.
"The more the merrier. I like to
see people reading newspapers,"
McKeen wrote. "Hell, I like to see
them reading anything. It's much
better than seeing them walking
around with cell phones held up
to their skulls."

Gymnastics to host NCAA Southeast Region meet
STAFF REPORT
The Orange and Blue
Game isn't the only thing go-
ing on April 9.
The NCAA Gymnastics
Committee announced the
fields for each of the six 2005
NCAARegion Championships
sites on Monday. The No. 7
UE team will play host to the
NCAA Southeast Region.
Start time
j .-. is set for 6
p.m. in the
O'Connell
Center.
l on regional
Faehn qualifying
score, the
nation's top 18 teams were
seeded into the six regions
with three teams per region.
The remaining three regional
slots were filled from within
the region.
The winner and runner-up
at each of the six region sites
will make up the 12-team field
at the NCAA Championships,
set for April 21-23 in Auburn,
Ala.
The Gators have advanced
to nationals 22 times in the
23-year history of the NCAA
Gymnastics Championships.
Last year, UF finished fifth at
the NCAA Championships
held in Los Angeles.
No. 5 Georgia and No.
17 Denver are the other
seeded teams at the NCAA
Southeast Regional. Denver's
head coach is former Gators
gymnast Melissa Kutcher-
Rinehart. No. 25 North
Carolina, No. 26 West Virginia
and. No. 28 North Carolina
State round out the field for
the Gainesville site.
The Gators would have
hosted No. 6 Nebraska, but
the Cornhuskers are also host-
ing a regional.
Nebraska and Georgia
traded spots, setting up the
fourth matchup between UF
and the Bulldogs this season.
UF drew the same rotation
that it had for the 2005 Super
Six Challenge on Jan. 7, open-
ing the meet on the balance
beam.

Sophomore right-hander Stacey Stevens, named the SEC Pitcher of the
Week, has helped catapult the Gators to a 13-game winning streak.
days to prepare for its series with the
Crimson Tide, UF may have found a sil-
ver lining in one of its rain delays over
the weekend.
"We turned a little bit of attention
to Alabama [on Saturday]," left fielder
Lindsey Cameron said. "They were on
the [SUN Sports network] playing LSU,
[during the delay] so we got to have a
sneak peek at that."-
Cameron, who leads the team with
a .405 batting average and boasts an
eight-game hitting streak, will look
to continue her offensive production
against an erratic Alabama pitching
staff.
"It looks as though their pitching has
been a little bit inconsistent for them,"
Johns said. "We have seen two of their
three pitchers, so we're very familiar
with what they're going.to throw."
Alabama is only the second top-10
team that UF has faced this season and
the first since beginning its record win
streak.
Focusing on the streak, though, is
a trap that Johns says her team won't
fall into.
"It's never been in my personality,
in my career as a player or a coach [to
focus on streaks]," Johns said. "I prob-
ably don't enjoy the highs as much as I.
should.
"I probably dislike losing more than
I like winning, but I try not to let that
reflect on the team. But they do enjoy
it; they know what they want to work
for."
Alabama leads the all-time series
against UF 17-7, including a 7-3 advan-
tage in Gainesville.

Ge rge Brett, Pete Rose and Ted Williams
also ru e the Integration Era.
Finally, we enter the Canseco Era (1986-
present),\complete with home runs and
grand juries.
The infamous Barry Bonds leads both
home run categories with 703 and 73.
Roger Clemens and Tony Gwynn rule
most of the pitching and hitting categories.
Basically, the eras solve all your baseball
issues.
Don't want to recognize Bonds? No prob-
lem, just disregard the Canseco Era. The
same goes for Cy Young in the Deadball Era.
This is a win-win situation.
If baseball refuses to adapt my method,
you can use it anyway it's a lot like UF
stripping Vernon Maxwell's basketball scor-
ing record.
The fans recognize it anyhow, so who
cares what the fat cats think.
But while we're talking numbers, I have
to relay my thoughts on the Pat Summitt
situation.
If the NCAA really wants to consider
Summitt the all-time leader in coaching
wins for both men and women's basketball,
then it must merge all the stats.
So long Jackie Stiles, currently the wom-
en's all-time leader with 3,253 points.
Pete Maravich scored 414 more points
than you, and the Pistol needed just three
years.
That's my rant for the week, and consid-
ering that I. nearly flunked every math class
I've ever taken, that wasn't too shabby.

Dickey adds receiving to repetioire
Tim Casey/ Alligator
Backup quarterback Gavin Dickey is taking advantage of
Coach Urban Meyer's offense to see the field more often.
Dickey's newest role has him snagging passes.
By IAN FISHER
Alligator Staff Writer
ifisher@aligator.org
As if UF reserve quarterback
Gavin Dickey isn't busy enough
balancing football and baseball,
he may be adding to his hectic
schedule.
Dickey played some at wide
receiver during UF's practice on
Monday.
The redshirt. junior said he
doesn't mind being asked to help
out at another position.
"I'm just open; I just want to
play," Dickey said. "I've been
here three years, going on four,
and I just want to play anywhere
that I can."
Dickey played mostly in
mop-up situations last season.
Meyer said if Dickey can handle
the receiver position, it's a viable
option.
"You saw what I saw in that
scrimmage I saw a good-look-
ing athlete running around, so
it doesn't do much good stand-
ing on the sideline," Meyer said.
"We'll probably have'a little pack-
age for him. If he can learn it all,
the one thing we've been known
for is that the best players touch
the ball. If he's one of our best
players, that could happen."
Dickey said going out and
actually playing receiver hasn't
been the smoothest transition,
but having seen the routes as a
quarterback helps:
"Running routes it's dif-
ferent, but I think I'll learn it,"
Dickey said. "Getting thrown
right in helps tremendously."
Injuries a-plenty
Tight end Dane Guthrie,
forced to redshirt last year be-
cause of injury, is having prob-
lems again. He sat out a couple
practices earlier this spring be-
fore returning, but didn't prac-
tice again on Wednesday.
"That darn hamstring it's
been hurt all last year, he's been
hurt all spring," Meyer said.
Wide receiver Mike
McIntosh spent practice in
"The Pit," which Meyer said is
actually worse than practice.
Safety Terrence Holmes joined
McIntosh in The Pit while wide
receiver Kenneth Tookes sat out
with a concussion.
Fan support
Fans have come out in big
numbers at almost every prac-
tice UF has held this spring.
Even Meyer is surprised by
it.
"I was at Notre Dame before
and it wasn't like this," he said.
It is .a more fan-friendly at-
mosphere this year: Meyer lets
fans sit, whereas Zook made ev-
eryone stand. Also, Zook often
practiced on the second field,
farther from fans.
"I appreciate them coming
out," Meyer said. "I try to do as
much [on the first field] as I can
to let them enjoy practice."

*Disclaimer Following suspicions that

or even the Babe's 714? And how many
teams are left in the Big Dance one day

There's absolutely
no chance baseball
will tinker with its sa-
cred records, despite
the dirtying of some
of baseball's greatest
power numbers.
So I'm proposing
a new way to look at
baseball statistics.
Since different
styles of play (or different injectable
drugs) make each 'baseball era markedly
different, we need to divide the eras.
We'll start with the Deadball Era (1871-
1946). In this time, Babe Ruth amassed the
most career home runs (714) and the most
home runs in a season (60). Cy Young's
511 career pitching wins tops the list. The
Boston Beaneaters' Hugh Duffy tallied the
highest batting average in a season (.440
in 1894).
You hear the arguments all the time
- Duffy and Young played in a com-
pletely different era. Luckily, with the new
system, you can recognize more modern
heroes.
Take, for example, the Integration Era
(1947-1985).
Hank Aaron and Roger Maris finished
first for career and single-season home
runs with 755 and 61, respectively. But
suddenly, an overlooked pitcher jumps
to the top. The Braves' Warren Spahn fin-
ished ahead of many outstanding pitchers
with 363 wins. Since Cy Young, Walter

* THE GATORS TO PUT 13-
GAME WIN STREAK ON THE
LINE AGAINST ALABAMA.
By WILLIS JACOBSON
Alligator Writer
After having its last game
delayed due 'to thunderstorms,
the No. 14 UF softball team (27-
6, 6-0 Southeastern Conference)
will have to worry about a Tide
rolling into Gainesville.
The Gators, looking to
continue their school-record
13-game win
streak, will
host No. 10
Alabama (36-
7, 9-3 SEC) in
a three-game
series starting
with a double-
Johns header today
at 5 p.m. The
Crimson Tide has won eight of
its last nine games.
"They're really starting
to play good ball," UF coach
Karen Johns said of Alabama.
"They struggled at the begin-
ning of the year, but they had
a huge [weekend] series against
[Louisiana State].
"We're going to have our
hands full."
Noting that Alabama is a
team that relies heavily on its
quickness and base-stealing
ability, Johns will be looking
to neutralize the small-ball ap-
proach.
"I think we can contend
with their speed with Kristin
[Butler] behind the plate, so our
big thing is'going to be not giv-
ing up that big hit and creating
that big inning," Johns said.

TE e cycH TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 2005 Alcohol blamed i"n UF student's death CHRISTOPHER SMALL DIED IN JANUARY CRASH. By ELIZABETH PRANN Alligator Writer epranni@ailigstor.org Autopsy results for Gainesville's first traffic fatality of 2005 that claimed the life of Christopher James Small show the UF student's blood contained nearly three times the legal limit of alcohol. Early the morning of Jan. 28, Small was driving his 1997 Acura Integra alone southbound on Northwest 34th Street. When he sped through the intersection of Northwest 16th Avenue at an estimated 90 mph, his car became airborne, rolled and crashed into a telephone pole, Gainesville Police spokesman Keith Kameg said. The speed limit Public at the intersection Safety where the accident occured is posted at 35 mph. Small was pronounced dead at the scene. Postmortem examination reports from the Office of the Medical Examiner state that Small's blood-alcohol level was .20, two and a half times the legal limit. -The Florida Highway Patrol Web site characterizes .08 bloodalcohol content as the legal limit for impairment. William F. Hamilton of the Medical Examiner's Office conducted three tests, including a comprehensive drug screen, to determine whether any substances were present in Small's body at the time of the accident. In addition to Small's bloodalcohol level of .20, his urine tested at .27 and his vitreous humor, fluid taken from the eye and considered to yield the most reliable result of the three, regisSEE SMALL, PAGE 8 Polls open in today's city election races Absentee, early votes higher than past years By IVETTE MENDEZ Alligator Writer imendez@alligator.org Gainesville residents dissatisfied with present regulations and representation will find voting in today's election crucial if they want a shift in power. Today is the last day to vote in the City Commission races to choose three of the seven members who set and control citywide policies. Alachua County Supervisor of Elections Pam Carpenter emphasized the importance of taking part in local elections. "These are the people that have the biggest differ ence in our day-to-day lives," Carpenter'said. Nine candidates are vying for the City Commission seats, and campaignig could be seen all around the city. With a combined total of $137,000 in monetary contributions, local lawns as well as street corners crowded with sign-waving supporters have been festive affairs for every candidate. Continuing a trend from November, residents also hit the polls early, resulting in higher numbers in absentee ballots and early votes over previous years' local elections. In 2003, early voting, which begins two weeks before the election, only yielded 346 votes, Carpenter said. "We're well above that," she said. As of 6 p.m. Monday, tallied early votes totaled 515, a more than 100-vote increase. But absentee ballots have a more profound effect on the election than early votes. "The absentee-ballot voting seems to be going right in line," Carpenter said. "We've had over 1,000 Casey Anderson / Alligator Staff that have voted absentee."

VOLUME 98 ISSUE 125 Gay benefits a possibility By MEGAN SEERY Alligator Staff Writer mseery@asigator.org UF may be on the cusp of providing partner benefits to gay and lesbian faculty and staff -but probably not until the Florida Legislature goes on spring break. Murmurs among UF officials speculate that the university wants to wait for an end to the current legislative session before officially discussing the topic -a move to avoid offending conservative lawmakers who control much of the university's funding. UF President Bernie Machen said in a recent Cohen interview that acquiring the benefits "is not a matter of if, but a matter of when," noting there have been some "technical problems." The benefits issue is expected to come before the UF Board of Trustees sometime this year, UF Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Affairs Director Tamara-Cohen said in January. In addition, interim Provost Joe Glover told the Orlando Sentinel earlier this month that UF could be the first state university to provide same-sex partner benefits. Cohen, Glover and other administrators did not reply to requests seeking comment.

TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 3 CITY COMMISSION GPD officers 'pay' disrespect to commissioners By BRIAN HAGEN Alligator Writer bhagen@alligator.org Frustrated Gainesville Police officers leaned their picket signs against City Hall doors and filled the City Commission meeting Monday. Spurred .by statements from Jeff McAdams, president of the Fraternal Order of Police, GPD's expired contracts with the city became a focus of the meeting. "The police have been operating without a contract since September," McAdams said. "Why the delay?" About 25 officers stood up with McAdams as he addressed the commission, saying that while he has "a great deal of confidence in the commission," he believes that Human Resources and its director, Tom Motes, created delays in renegotiating GPD's contracts. "We think we're being deliberately deceived," he said. Motes said delays came from both sides and that higher-ups involved in the negotiations chose not to share contract offers with the rank-and-file officers. McAdams' proposal consists of a 26 percent raise in pay for GPD officers to be implemented over three years as well as other benefits he said are in line with other agencies in the state. Commissioner Braddy proposed holding a meeting between the police union and the city April 12, about a month in advance of its original date. Troubled funding for bringing a major charity event involving celebrities such as Daunte Culpepper, Trick Daddy and Benji Brown to Gainesville also was revisited. At a previous session, the Commission declined granting money for the event because of concern that it would significantly deplete city funds and that the scholarships and organizations benefiting would not be local. The foundation asked the city to provide law enforcement, portable toilet facilities, tables', chairs and shuttle bus service for a suggested total of $25,000 for the fourth annual Clinton Portis Charity Weekend. Following Alachua County's lead, the commission granted $15,000 to fund the event with strings attached. Commissioners had many questions about the benefits to Gainesville, but Rodney Long, Alachua County commissioner and foundation president, was not present to explain because he was recuperating from the 48 hours he spent on Gainesville streets learning about homelessness last week. The scholarships that the foundation benefits are not promised to Gainesville, incurring the objection Andy Apicella / Alligator Staff Jeff McAdams, president of the Fraternal Order of Police, speaks to the Gainesville City Commission on Monday night. of Commissioner Rick Bryant. The Commission compromised, promising the funds in return for a letter from the charity guaranteeing that Gainesville would receive benefits from the event, named for the Washington Redskins running back and Gainesville High School graduate. The agreement can be changed in the future. Gabriel Kaimowitz, At-Large candidate for the comnmission, also took the podium at the meeting to announce his candidacy to have been "primarily to investigate as an observer and researcher" the powerlessness of the City Commission. UF makes plan to alleviate parking pains 0 PLANS CALL FOR TWO NEW PARKING GARAGES BY 2009. By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer dcohen@alligator.org UF will always have an on-campus parking problem, a university official acknowledged Monday, but he insists the issue is not being ignored. "I know we have a lot more decal holders than we have parking," said James Morgan, director of UF's Business Services Division. "We could never have a one-to-one ratio. We don't have space for it. We don't have the money for it." Despite the alleged lack of funding, Morgan said plans are in place for two new parking garages within the next four years, as well as 10 to 13 new bus shelters by Fall 2005. Morgan said the revenue created by decals and student fees are expected to pay for the facilities. "We have more garages than any other college in the nation," Morgan said about UF's total of 13 garages. UF Business Services Division, Transportation and Parking Services, and the Student Traffic Court have been deliberating where the new facilities should be located. Student Government Treasurer Dennis Ngin said SG is powerless when it comes to parking. "Parking is an ongoing issue. It's probably never going to be solved," Ngin said. "We have a lot of students on this campus with limited space. It's just one of those things. There's no parking on campus, and no SG official can feasibly fix the parking problem." Morgan said his organization has reached out to SG to solve UF's parking problem. "We really set the priorities with Student Government," he said. "We're trying to do everything we can to be proactive." Morgan admits that parking on-campus is not perfect, acknowledging that the number of decals sold greatly outnumbers available parking spaces by as much as 250 percent. Three telephone calls and an e-mail to Transportation and Parking Director Scott Fox over the course of a week seeking comment about this Of practice were not returned. Campus_ Morgan said he believes the practice of patience is the key to a successful parking system. "There are parking spaces available on campus at, any particular time," Morgan said, -adding students are reluctant to wait for a bus. "That 10 or 15 minutes is 10 or 15 minutes that people don't have patience with." Morgan encouraged students to utilize Regional Transit System buses, which are free to all UF students simply by showing their Gator 1 Card to the driver, to help alleviate traffic congestion. "You can get a lot more people on the bus than in a car. In the future, whether people like it or not, they are going to be taking that extra 10 or 15 minutes to go to work," he said. Peter Dayton, a UF building-construction sophomore, had his share of on-campus parking troubles last week. Dayton's SUV was parked in front of the Murphree Area, a Red 1 zone, when he received a note from his Resident Assistant telling him to go the area desk or his car would be towed. "I was kind of puzzled since I was parked legally," Dayton said. The Murphree Area desk attendant told him that UF Transportation and Parking Services called and he would have to move his car so a lamppost lightbulb could be changed. "So it was in the middle of the day and I had class and everything like that," Dayton said. "Parking Services told me, at first, that if I called (University Police) they would find another place for me to park my car because at that time, of day, it's very hard to find parking." However when he called UPD, Dayton said he was told that was inaccurate. "I would just have to do my best to find another Red 1 (space), which would probably not be open at that time," he said. Dayton said he did not end up moving his car because he would be creating another problem for someone else. "I was about to move my car, and then I realized someone is probably going to pull in there in about five minutes, and they are going to have the same problem. (Transportation and Parking Services) would just have to call them, track them down, get them to move it and all that," Dayton said. Though he was not familiar with Dayton's experience, Morgan admitted the situation could have been handled differently. "There's other times to change lightbulbs, too," Morgan said. "That sounds like it could have been worked out better." 22 00 S -E S E 0 CL ---0

4, ALLIGATOR 0 TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 2005 UF ADMINISTRATION Professor: UF should be 'Berkeley of the Southeast' By EMILY YEHLE Alligator Writer eyehle@alligator.org UF should rise above the university system pack and become the "Berkeley of the Southeast," said a UF professor who wrote a report for the Board of Governors. Grant Thrall told the state universities' highest governing power Thursday that Florida's highereducation system might not be able to keep up with rapidly increasing population, which is set td exceed New York's in 10 to 15 years. The solution, he said, is to imitate California's university system, dividing public colleges into two tiers. The top tier includes institutions that attract the best faculty and students, such as Berkeley. The second tier is made up of universities that serve more local needs. Additional university branches or entirely new schools could be added to that second tier to take care of increasing student numbers. In his report, Thrall discovered that only UF, FSU and FAMU had a significant percentage of students from all over the state, while the other eight universities drew about 80 percent of their studentslocally UF draws statewide interest because of its academics, he said, and thus brings Florida's best students. Thrall, a City Commission candidate, said his suggestions mesh with UF President Bernie Machen's top university aspirations. "Both of us have a shared vision that the University of Florida will become the Berkeley of the "Does a FE than a Vol want theI to pay for drive Ferr Southeast, an poised to bect But become means UF nee tract top-notc That money from the Legi from the stud "Does a Fe Volkswagen?" want the best, it.

"If you graphics before developing a plan. t,you have to pay for The board hasn't decided whether a need exists for more higher-education opportunities, she added. Thrall's report assumed students couldn't leave their geographic area to go to college, Pappas said. However, she said she was not convinced that a four-hour drive to a non-local university would stop students from going to school. But if closer inspection reveals students who are tied down locally, perhaps by a family or job, more local opportunities may be necessary, she said. "I am certainly not prepared to say we know enough of geographic access to say that the California model is what we want to propose," she said. UF surveys staffers to gauge campuswide satisfaction M THE RESULTS OF THE 82-QUESTION SURVEY ARE EXPECTED IN JUNE. By STEPHANIE GARRY Alligator Staff Writer smgarry@aIIigator.org The group that represents UF's staff and non-tenured faculty distributed 8,200 surveys Friday in hopes of discovering the top two or three things UF employees would change about their workplace. The campaign, called "Your Voice -Your UF," is the first-ever formal attempt by the university to gauge staff sentiments, said Jani Sherrard, chairwoman of the Academic & Professional Assembly, the group coordinating the survey. "Thsissthe first time it has been done campuswide," Sherrard said. "It is an enormous, positive opportunity to provide feedback.". To handle the 82-answer questionnaire, UF hired International Survey Research, the same company that conducted a faculty survey last Spring, for about $77,000, said Ed Poppell, vice -president for administrative affairs. The company will compare UF's results to employers around the country. Independent survey-taking also allows more anonymity in collecting the responses, UF documents state. The assembly has worked on the logistics of the survey since December, including categorizing 186 workplaces around the state, holding focus groups to generate questions and testing a preliminary survey before making the final version, Sherrard said. Overall, about 150. employees had input into the process, she said. The survey also comes with a widespread public-relations campaign. Fliers and notices have appeared around campus, on the president's Web site and the myUFL portal. Both UF President Bernie Machen and Human Resources Director Larry Ellis sent e-mails to staff encouraging them to fill out the survey during work time and stressing the confidentiality of responses -although one of the first questions asks staffers to identify which department they work in. "This project is based on my belief that improvement is fueled by direct and candid feedback," Machen wrote in late January. The assembly hopes to beat-the response rate of last year's faculty survey, which was 43 percent, Sherrard said, adding that a response rate of more than 50 percent is considered terrific. I think people are very aware of the staff survey," she said, and with questions unique to UF and a good response rate, it should "reflect concretely on the UF experience." Machen endorsed the idea after speaking to the assembly in the Fall. While the faculty survey showed discontenement with pay and recognition, UF's staff have had a difficult year with the implementation of a completely new, web-based accounting system that changed the work of many employees in fundamental ways. But Sherrard hopes the results of the survey, expected in June, will coincide with Machen's reorganization of human resources. The president recently created a new position, vice president for human resources, to address morale issues for faculty and staff. This semester, Machen hired Kyle Cavanaugh of the University of Texas at Austin as the first to fill the post, which reports directly to the president. Cavanaugh takes office May1. Dale McPherson, a coordinator for the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, said he completed his survey Friday. I think it's good for the administration to know -what the people who work for them think and feel about the organization," McPherson said. louch a Heven Day at he Spa Beu Su Pamper Sampler IreatmeniSpa 565.00 Gift Certificate w.touchofheaven-f Lcom (alued of sp'n S200.00) chnnie414 osut f8Spa ISIVitfI 773Westt .NbeerryRd., Giineviileefll326666 o' F a GbOM oro r Afty 3232-05 Lear rmp~s ,no s* ensem wh partpat in FREE rtMiV gaIa nun"w IM C1c"iniGamta wV FRE ptrs asd givt-a-way Dorale 6-10 iwhs witwld ica hair Boss UF ad SFCC Cowr Swrvigrl.

By JEFF SIRMONS Alligator Writer jsirmons@aIIigator.org Joseph Wilson knew he was going to be an engineer when he was a child. In high school, he did engineering research at UCF. At UF, he said he thinks organic chemistry and modern physics are "just fine." "I'm not completely geeky," he said. "I do kung fu and go clubbing, and I like Starbucks -I do some normal college stuff." But it's not his dancing that won this UF electrical-engineering sophomore the prestigious $7,500 Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship -it's his dedication to science. "I can see myself creating advanced images of the heart and creating innovative signal-processing techniques for it in the future," said Wilson, who plans to pursue a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering. Wilson presented his UCF research in Taiwan as a high schoolsenior to hundreds of electrical-engineering experts. As a UF freshman, he presented his summer biomedical engineering research at the national Biomedical On Engineering Society conferCampus ence in Philadelphia.

6, ALLIGATOR 1 TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 2005 Editorial Quota quandry Degree restrictions leave rights of students behind Imagine you are a high school student who had applied to UF. After months of waiting -and wondering if you'd have to make that dark and shameful journey to our northern rivals after all -you finally get a response. It's the thick packet, instead of the slim envelope that screams "form letter," so you're understandably excited. You open it up and, sure enough, it's an acceptance letter. "Dear Really Smart Student, we want to congratulate you. After the pleasantries, however, there's a much more disturbing message. "Based on your skills and aptitudes, as well as our current needs, your major will be: mechanical engineering." You're confused because you've never been interested in engineering in your life. But it's there in plain writing, along with a disclaimer that you will forfeit all state scholarships if you deviate from your given major. As you happen to be president of the drama club with your eyes on a dual theater/English degree, this doesn't make you too happy. The fact that you haven't cracked the "C" barrier in math since you were counting monkeys and green apples in kindergarten doesn't make you too optimistic either. Sound crazy? It may be extreme, but it's a possibility if the Board of Governors goes forward with its plans to require state universities to meet degree quotas. In case you missed the article in Friday's Alligator, the board decreed that the State University System should be graduating 50 percent of its students in nine areas of concentration by the 2012-2013 academic year. These nine areas -not surprisingly -are concentrated in the competitive medical and technological fields, as well as education. Under this system, the other 200 degree programs at UF would receive only the remaining 50 percent of these students. So what happens if students don't want to major in those nine areas? One possibility is that the predicted major students put down on college applications could be used as a serious consideration of who to accept. Another would be an actual regulation of who stays in which major as described above, enforced by scholarship allocation or other incentives to stay on university-approved academic tracks. But wait, the board has an idea to help alleviate the problem of universities not receiving enough students interested in select areas: let individual universities spread the wealth. Because the degree quota is statewide, rather than based on the percentage of graduates from each university, the state schools could agree to take on a heavier load of students in areas in which they already have sufficient participation. In return, other universities would pick up their slack in areas for which they lacked interested students or facilities. To put it bluntly, this cannot work. If the board wants to institute programs that encourage high school students to choose certain majors, fine. If they want to increase scholarship awards to students in these areas, great. But you try to tell the budding Joyce or Mozart that he or she is going to spend the next four years in the computer lab, like it or not.

TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 2005 ALLIGATOR, 7 The Alligator chooses design over content Editor: Despite being aggressively misquoted by the Alligator in a story earlier this semester, I did not write then to ask for correction or clarification. However, Monday's story about the Gainesville Sun's effort to move in on carnpus, get Student Government money and produce a wraparound features'n'news section gives the wrong impression. You guys need to get it right. The headline on the jump of the story on page 9 says the journalism college "backs" the Sun plan. Yet, our dean is not quoted in the story, and I appear only in the last sentence -really a non-sentence, since it was obviously cut to fit and ends with a comma. The quote-out from me that decorates the second part of the story does not appear in the story. I don't hold the reporter responsible. I assume she accurately quoted me in a part of the story that was cut. If it had been included, it would have been clear that we are skeptical about this wraparound section seen as a possible competitor to the Alligator. Competition is good. The Alligator needs competition. But this project is apparently driven by the Sun's circulation department, not its news department. No one on the Sun news staff has contacted me about this. If the newspaper plans to use our students as unpaid interns, we need to approve this project for those students to receive credit. The Sun insists its interns earn credit, since it doesn't pay them. For the record: We want our students to have paid internships. (Since professional work is expected of the student, being treated like a professional is important. Professionals get paid.) For decades, the Sun and the journalism program had a great relationship. Students produced full sections -later cut to single pages -for the Sun on a daily or twice-weekly schedule. The Sun ended that relationship in the early '90s. We would welcome a good working relationship with the Sun's news department. This project, however, seems like a cynical effort to dine at the SG trough. The errors in Monday's story --and my aggressive misquote in a story earlier this year -seem to be the result of poor editing, of allowing design (stories that had to fit in boxes drawn by page designers) to dictate content. Try to get it right next time. William McKeen Professor and chair, Department of Journalism Even Republicans say 'wars' are too much Editor: As a conservative, I tend to cringe every time I read Andrew Meyer's column. His writings condemning the privatization of Social Security are ignorant at best and deceitful at worst. Last Friday's column lambasting "big government" Republicans, however, was dead on. The War on Drugs, the War to Save Baseball, the War to Save Terri Schiavo and the most ambitious yet -the War to Save the World from Tyranny -are an embarrassment to the conservative tradition of small, limited government. To be fair, it should be pointed out that the War to Save Baseball is being fought by a bi-partisan army, not solely a Republican one; marijuana arrests ballooned under President Bill Clinton's Justice Department despite the fact that college kids still think his administration was the "grooviest" yet; and Janet Reno's travesties with Waco, Ruby Ridge and Elian Gonzalez were more indicative of a police state than anything that has come to pass under the Patriot Act. Still, with their own well-intentioned-butalways-bungled "wars" to save humanity, Republicans are trampling individual liberties, flouting the Constitution and doing as big a disservice to our founders -who considered government but a necessary evil, as does the failed socialism of the Democrats' Wars on Poverty and Unemployment.

8, ALLIGATOR E TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 2005 Bil may cover transplant costs By SKYLER SMITH Alligator Writer ssmith@alligator.org Florida patients faced with inadequate funding for a lifesaving lung .transplantat may receive help from the Florida Legislature. Rep. Larry Cretul, R-Ocala, unveiled House State Bill 453, also News known as the Josh Abbott Lung Transplant Bill for a local boy who inspired him to propose it, in the Shands at UP atrium Monday aftemoon. The legislation would fund the disparity in cost between the price of a lung transplant and Medicaid's current funding, which stands at approximately $227,000 per pediatric patient. "Quite simply, this is a good bill, and I'm sponsoring it because it will save additional young lives and will allow these young people, like Josh, to live a longer, healthier and productive life," Cretul said. "Josh and others like him fight hard every day with battles you and I can't even imagine, and I found out there's something I can do to help." Abbott, 21, has cystic fibrosis and is awaiting a double lung transplant. 'At this time, transplant patients who cannot afford the full cost of their treatment must findraistto cover the extra medical costs associated with their care. Shands at UP is the only Medicaid-approved lung-transplant center in Florida, Shands spokesman Lance Skelly said. According to Cretul's office, $3.4 million is currently appropriated to fund the bill. "I'm tickled to death that there is money available," Cretul said. "What we have to have to hope and pray for are that there will be donors." Sen. Rod Smith, D-Gainesville, is sponsoring a similar bill in the Florida Senate. Cretul said he hopes his bill passes before the session ends May 6. Trustee against gay, lesbian partner benefits BENEFITS, from page 1 probably only a short time away from having domestic-partner benefits for faculty and staff," at a March 21 Pride Student Union event. However, state Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, recently criticized UP for appointing a director of lesbian and gay affairs, saying, "It makes it difficult for me to come up here and support giving more taxpayer dollars to institutions with these kinds of values." But many of the schools UF seeks to emulate have those "values." Eight out of the U.S. News & World Report Top 10 public universities offer their faculty and staff some form of .domestic-partner benefits, such as health care or discounted tuition. The University of Michigan, where Machen once worked, has offered its faculty domestic partner benefits for 10 years. Despite the political climate, Michigan officials "will continue to offer these benefits and, should we be challenged, we will defend our right to do so," Vice President Laurita Thomas wrote in. an open letter posted on the university's Web site. But UP Trustee Al Warrington said UP would be wrong to follow in the steps Warrington of Michigan and University of California schools. "The fact that a few left-coast schools have done it doesn't impress me," he said. "They do all kinds of wrong things out there." Warrington, for whom UF's college of business is named, was opposed to the benefits issue when it came up at a Trustees meeting in 2003. "It's a violation against state law and biblical law," he said. "I'm not for discrimination, but this tears at the moral fiber of our country." Domestic-partner benefits would open a "Pandora's box" because unmarried heterosexual couples and people in casual relationships might abuse the system, he said. "There's just no limit on it," Warrington said. "It's an endless pit. It's hard to say how domesticpariner benefits would affect UF's standing with the Legislature, though lawmakers are inclined to appoint trustees who do not support domestic-partner benefits, he added. "I think they appreciate the fact that someone's willing to stand up for Florida law and not be in favor of the university administration," he said. "Short of the Lord, no one will change my opinion." Public invited to watch board, mayor count votes ELECTION, from page I Blunt head trauma resulted in death SMALL, from page 1 tered at .21. However, though Kameg previously said a small amount of marijuana was found near the crash site, no other substances were found in Small's body. The report lists cause of death as a result of blunt, traumatic head injury sustained in the crash. It is not known whether Small was wearing a seatbelt.Small was wearing a striped, button-down shirt with jeans, and around his wrist were two bands, one bearing "a white background and repetitive images of a cowboy boot and cowboy hat," according to the report. The markings are consistent with accounts from Small's friend -and former roommate, Public Gary Goldberg, who said Small was Safety coming from the downtown club :08, a popular hangout for UP students on Thursday night. The accident happened on Friday morning. About 50 friends and acquaintances of the UP finance junior and honor student gathered for a memorial that night to share stories and pray for his family. Friends remember "Smalls," nicknamed for his short stature, for his love of sports and outgoing personality. A lifetime car enthusiast, Small bought and paid for the Integra himself last Fall and was looking forward to acquiring others in the future, his father, Larry, said. "He loved being at college, he loved all of his friends, and just loved being there," his father told the Alligator in a previous interview. "He loved being a Gator." Small was an active member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Kappa Sigma Fraternity.

TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 9 STUDENT LIFE Newspaper seeks greener pastures on UF campus Editor's note: The following article originally appeared in Monday's Alligator. See pg. 7 for more information. By EMILY YEHLE Alligator Writer eyehle@alligator.org The Gainesville Sun is on its "hands and knees begging" Student Government to pay more than $16,000 for its newspapers to be placed around campus for free, said Student Sen. Stephanie Ruby, who has been involved in the negotiations. The Sun has approached SG several times over the past few years with a proposal to make its papers available to students for free like The New York Times and USA Today, said Jim Miller, circulation director. SG officials, including Student Body Treasurer Dennis Ngin, have been in talks with the Sun to distribute the paper throughout campus during the Summer and Fall. Both parties say the proposal is tentative. For the Summer, the program could cost students approximately $4,000 for about 500 papers a day. If the distribution is successful during the Summer, SG officials will consider a $12,500 program for the Fall, where 1,250 papers a day would be provided. All the money would come from SG's tuition-funded reserves. -Furthermore, SG and the Sun have talked about including a two-page insert that would be student-oriented. The section would probably be written by interns and edited by the Sun's staff, Miller said. Ruby said she envisioned the pages including stories and advertisements McKeen about organizations' events. "This has the potential to be fun and artsy at the same time as being hard news," she said. Both Miller and Ruby said the section could create more opportunities for students to get published. Providing an alternative to the Alligator also would help both papers produce better stories, Ruby said. "My own view is that a little competition is a good thing, and while the Alligator is a great student newspaper, it would push both newspapers to check facts," she said. However, Miller said he didn't think the program would make the Sun a competitor to the Alligator. While the Alligator's circulation is 39,000, most of which is distributed around campus, the Sun is only talking about a little more than 1,000 papers a day, he added. The free papers would provide a service to students and increase the Sun's circulation, which is appealing to its staff and advertisers, Miller said. Furthermore, the Sun runs more nationwide and state news than the Alligator, he said. "It's apparent to me that they're so different," he said. City Commission candidate and Student Sen. Mike Belle, who has been pushing the proposal, agrees that the additional paper will add something different to campus. The Sun, he said, would provide students with stories by writers who are "entrenched" in the local scene. Although Ngin has been involved in the talks with the Sun, he said he is unsure of whether more money should be poured into newspapers when SG already spends $40,000 a year to provide free New York Times and USA Today newspapers. Add to that the Alligator, and students might have all their bases covered, he said. Belle said cost was the issue when the Sun staff approached SG executives last summer. Student Senate had just spent $40,000 on the readership program, and it was unclear how another similar program would benefit the students. S t u d e n t Body President Jamal Sowell decided not to pursue the offer, said Belle and Student Body Hynes President-elect Joe Goldberg, who was the Student Senate president at the time. Sowell was unavailable for comment. Goldberg said he supported the program, which would include a student-oriented Web site. "I think it's great," he said. "I think students need another outlet besides the Alligator." Goldberg said he would continue the talks when he takes his position in May but promised to continue the current readership program, which must be funded annually. Although the Sun has never had a deal with SG, several versions of the two-page insert have occurred over the years. Once students wrote a few pages at the Sun as part of a journalism course, said William McKeen, chairman of the department of journalism within the College of Journalism and Communications. "The department has always regretted that the Sun chose to discontinue letting our students produce pages for the paper," he wrote in an e-mail. "That's why it's funny to hear this rumor -coming from students." And Miller said. about 10 or 15 years ago a student-oriented page appeared in the paper, which was mostly written by student interns. Bringing the section back appealed to some journalism administrators. McKeen and Terry Hynes, dean of the College of Journalism and Communications, said they support the program. The information has come from word-of-mouth, and the college has not been included in talks with the Sun, they said. "The more the merrier. I like to see people reading newspapers," McKeen wrote. "Hell, I like to see them reading anything. It's much better than seeing them walking around with cell phones held up to their skulls."

18, ALLIGATOR U TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 2005 Gymnastics to host NCAA Southeast Region meet STAFF REPORT The Orange and Blue Game isn't the only thing going on April 9. The NCAA Gymnastics Committee announced the fields for each of the six 2005 NCAARegionChampionships sites on Monday. The No. 7 U0 team will play host to the NCAA Southeast Region. Start time is set for 6 p.m. in the O'C on ne l l Center. B a s e d on regional Faehn qualifying score, the nation's top 18 teams were seeded into the six regions with three teams per region. The remaining three regional slots were filled from within the region. The winner and runner-up at each of the six region sites will make up the 12-team field at the NCAA Championships, set for April 21-23 in Auburn, Ala. The Gators have advanced to nationals 22 times in the 23-year history of the NCAA Gymnastics Championships. Last year, UF finished fifth at the NCAA Championships held in Los Angeles. No. 5 Georgia and No. 17 Denver are the other seeded teams at the NCAA Southeast Regional. Denver's head coach is former Gators gymnast Melissa KutcherRinehart. No. 25 North Carolina, No. 26 West Virginia and. No. 28 North Carolina State round out the field for the Gainesville site. The Gators would have hosted No. 6 Nebraska, but the Cornhuskers are also hosting a regional. Nebraska and Georgia traded spots, setting up the fourth matchup between UF and the Bulldogs this season. UF drew the same rotation that it had for the 2005 Super Six Challenge on Jan. 7, opening the meet on the balance beam. Alligator Writer Dan Treat contributed to this report. -dLL lid-"U"L/ "Allg r E"F Breanne King and the Gators hope to make more noise in the NCAAs than they mustered in the SECs. UF will host the Southeast Region of the NCAA Tournament. Gators face first top-10 team since start of streak SOFTBALL, from page 20 Sophomore right-hander Stacey Stevens, named the SEC Pitcher of the Week, has helped catapult the Gators to a 13-game winning streak. days to prepare for its series with the Crimson Tide, UF may have found a silver lining in one of its rain delays over the weekend. "We turned a little bit of attention to Alabama [on Saturday]," left fielder Lindsey Cameron said. "They were on the [SUN Sports network] playing LSU, [during the delay] so we got to have a sneak peek at that." Cameron, who leads the team with a .405 batting average and boasts an eight-game hitting streak, will look to continue her offensive production against an erratic Alabama pitching staff. "It looks as though their pitching has been a little bit inconsistent for them," Johns said. "We have seen two of their three pitchers, so we're very familiar with what they're goingto throw." Alabama is only the second top-10 team that UF has faced this season and the first since beginning its record win streak. Focusing on the streak, though, is a trap that Johns says her team won't fall into. "It's never been in my personality, in my career as a player or a coach [to focus on streaks]," Johns said. "I probably don't enjoy the highs as much as I should. "I probably dislike losing more than I like winning, but I try not to let that reflect on the team. But they do enjoy it; they know what they want to work for." Alabama leads the all-time series against UP 17-7, including a 7-3 advantage in Gainesville. CONTROL from page 20 Johnson and all the other old-schoolers played a different game, you start to consider Spahn baseball's true win king. George Brett, Pete Rose and Ted Williams also rule the Integration Era. Finally, we enter the Canseco Era (1986present), complete with home runs and grand juries. The infamous Barry Bonds leads both home run categories with 703 and 73. Roger Clemens and Tony Gwynn rule most of the pitching and hitting categories. Basically, the eras solve all your baseball issues. Don't want to recognize Bonds? No problem, just disregard the Canseco Era. The same goes for Cy Young in the Deadball Era. This is a win-win situation. If baseball refuses to adapt my method, you can use it anyway -it's a lot like UF stripping Vernon Maxwell's basketball scoring record. The fans recognize it anyhow, so who cares what the fat cats think. But while we're talking numbers, I have to relay my thoughts on the Pat Summitt situation. If the NCAA really wants to consider Summitt the all-time leader in coaching wins for both men and women's basketball, then it must merge all the stats. So long Jackie Stiles, currently the women's all-time leader with 3,253 points. Pete Maravich scored 414 more points than you, and the Pistol needed just three years. That's my rant for the week, and considering that I nearly flunked every math class I've ever taken, that wasn't too shabby.

Sports ALLIGATOR TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 2005 www.alligatorSports.org FOOTBALL Dickey adds receiving to repetloire Tim Casey/ Alligator Backup quarterback Gavin Dickey is taking advantage of Coach Urban Meyer's offense to see the field more often. Dickey's newest role has him snagging passes. By IAN FISHER Alligator Staff Writer ifisher@aligator.org As if UF reserve quarterback Gavin Dickey isn't busy enough balancing football and baseball, he may be adding to his hectic schedule. Dickey played some at wide receiver during UF's practice on Monday. The redshirt.junior said he doesn't mind being asked to help out at another position. "I'm just open; I just want to play," Dickey said. "I've been here three years, going on four, and I just want to play anywhere that I can." Dickey played mostly in mop-up situations last season. Meyer said if Dickey can handle the receiver position, it's a viable option. "You saw what I saw in that scrimmage -I saw a good-looking athlete running around, so it doesn't do much good standing on the sideline," Meyer said. "We'll probably havea little package for him. If he can learn it all, the one thing we've been known for is that the best players touch the ball. If he's one of our best players, that could happen." Dickey said going out and actually playing receiver hasn't been the smoothest transition, but having seensthe routes as a quarterback helps: "Running routes -it's different, but I think I'll learn it," Dickey said. "Getting thrown right in helps tremendously." Injuries a-plenty Tight end Dane Guthrie, forced to redshirt last year because of injury, is having problems again. He sat out a couple practices earlier this spring before returning, but didn't practice again on Wednesday. "That darn hamstring -it's been hurt all last year, he's been hurt all spring," Meyer said. Wide receiver Mike McIntosh spent practice in "The Pit," which Meyer said is actually worse than practice. Safety Terrence Holmes joined McIntosh in The Pit while wide receiver Kenneth Tookes sat out with a concussion. Fan support Fans have come out in big numbers at almost every practice UF has held this spring. Even Meyer is surprised by it. "I was at Notre Dame before and it wasn't like this," he said. It is .a more fan-friendly atmosphere this year. Meyer lets fans sit, whereas Zook made everyone stand. Also, Zook often practiced on the second field, farther from fans. "I appreciate them coming out," Meyer said. "I try to do as much [on the first field] as I can to let them enjoy practice." Columnist takes fresh look at baseball statistics *Disclaimner -Following suspicions that Andrew Abranson wrote recent editions of Drew's Control while using steroids or other performance-enhancing substances, the validity of thefollowing column cannot be guaranteed. MIAMI 've escaped the evil wrath of nasty weather for a beach bonanza, but the un (or is it the Crown Royal?) keeps making my head pound with numbers, and I can't make it stop. Will Bonds return to conquer Hank's 755-home-run record or even the Babe's 714? And how many teams are left in the Big Dance -one day it's 16, five minutes later it's four? So, I've given up all hopes of sanity and decided to spew out a bunch of numbe.* for you to ponder. There's absolutely no chance baseball will tinker with its sacred records, despite the dirtying of some Andrew of baseball's greatest Abramson power numbers. Drew's Control So I'm proposing aabramson@alligator.org a new way to look at baseball statistics. Since different styles of play (or different injectable drugs) make each baseball era markedly different, we need to divide the eras. We'll start with the Deadball Era (18711946). In this time, Babe Ruth amassed the most career home runs (714) and the most home runs in a season (60). Cy Young's 511 career pitching wins tops the list. The Boston Beaneaters' Hugh Duffy tallied the highest batting average in a season (.440 in 1894). You hear the arguments all the time -Duffy and Young played in a completely different era.

"They're really starting to play good ball," UF coach Karen Johns said of Alabama. "They struggled at the beginning of the year, but they had a huge [weekend] series against [Louisiana State]. "We're going to have our hands full." Noting that Alabama is a team that relies heavily on its quickness and base-stealing ability, Johns will be looking to neutralize the small-ball approach. "I think we can contend with their speed with Kristin [Butler] behind the plate, so our big thing isgoing to be not giving up that big hit and creating that big inning," Johns said.
