Benefit plans
could face heat
By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM
Alligator Staff Writer
jvanl@alligator.org
TALLAHASSEE Any UF
plan to extend domestic partner
benefits to same-sex couples may
raise the ire of state officials, one
of them said Tuesday.
"Some of these people
have 300 partners in
their lifetime, and by and
large, these are not mo-
nogamous relationships.
How many partners
do you want to have to
cover? I don't know."
Dennis Baxley
Florida House Representative
Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-
Ocala, chairman of the House
Education Council, said he
strongly opposed any plan to of-
fer benefits such as health insur-
ance to partners of gay or lesbian
UF employees, and any UF effort
to do so would make it harder
for him to support UF funding
among his constituents.
"All I can say is I'm disap-
pointed that they think they
should move in that direction,"
he said, adding that he didn't
know how such a plan could
work because homosexuals are
too promiscuous.
"Some of these people have
300 partners in their lifetime,
and by and large, these are not
monogamous relationships,"
he said. "How many partners
do you want to have to cover? I
don't know."
Baxley said offering such
benefits would be detrimental
to the institution of marriage and
might even violate Florida law,
which bans state recognition of
same-sex marriage.
"Marriage is based on mo-
nogamy and duty to family, and
it doesn't make sense to me why
they want to go down that road,"
he said.
Calls to the office of Gov. Jeb
Bush were not returned.-
Upon hearing Baxley's com-
ments, Pride Student Union:
President Allison Andrews
laughed and said they were
"very ignorant statements"
made by a "peddler of cheap
stereotypes."
"That's so funny," Andrews
said. "Like gay people are never
monogamous, and heterosexuals
are never promiscuous. I could
say the same thing about hetero-
sexuals who can't stay in a rela-
tionship. That's like me saying all
white men are jerks."
Moreover, Andrews said that
religious conservatives should
not criticize homosexuals for not

VP: Dry campus rumors 'false'
By BRIDGET CAREY
.Alligator Staff Writer
bcarey@alligator.org
Regardless of what students may
think, UF administrators are not set
on "taking your fun away," said
Patricia Telles-Irvin, vice president
for Student Affairs.
The rumors of an alcohol-free
campus were denied vehemently
by Telles-Irvin at a Student Senate
meeting Tuesday, which did not end
until early Wednesday morning. The
UF administration, she said, instead
focuses its ef-
Student forts on student
Government safety.
"I'm not go-
-ing to guess why" the rumor was
started, Telles-Irvin said. "I have my
assumptions."
Talk of a dry campus gained hype
during The Gator Party campaign
for Student Government elections,
as Student Body President-elect Joe
Goldberg vowed to fight against
driving alcohol off campus.
But Goldberg said in an interview
after the meeting that he just wanted
to assure students that under his
reign there wouldn't be the chance of
a dry campus.

New parking garages face shadow of previous debts
Parking decal prices may increase
By DAVID COHEN and EVA KIS
Alligator Staff Writers
UF's Transportation and Parking Services
may be counting its garages before they hatch,
its director confirmed Wednesday.
Though UF's master plan calls for the con-
struction of two additional on-campus park-

ing garages within the next four years, interim
director Scott Fox said debt from building
existing garages has not been fully paid off.
Furthermore, no dedicated university
funding is planned for these projects.
Instead, Fox said his agency is a "self-suffi-
cient operation" almost solely relying on park-
ing tickets issued on campus and decal sales
to sustain operations and relieve debt incurred
from construction of parking facilities.
"It's kind of like an individual going to buy
a house," Fox explained. "We tell the lender
that we are going to repay the investment
from revenue taken from the garage. We are
heavily invested in parking garages that we
are still paying for."
Because of ongoing construction of aca-
demic buildings, the growth of UF's student
body and the overselling of decals, on-campus
parking is hard to come by, Fox admitted.

On the other hand, his agency does not lim-

of "red" parking designated to students living
on campus.

a conscious decision not to limit the number of
decals. We're going to make decals available to
everyone that wants one."

The group responsible for
certifying local elections met
Wednesday to address any out-

Elections Pam Carpenter said,
with the Canvassing Board vot-

Those ballots, however, are not
enough to change any results from
the election that ended Tuesday.
"The only runoff will be in
Gainesville District 3," Carpenter
said, between incumbent Tony
Domenech and candidate Jack
Donovan.
The runoff election will take
place April 19, with early voting
starting April 11 at the downtown
Supervisor of Elections Office from
8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and
April 16 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
If all the participants who voted
in the first election show up, it will
be a close race, Carpenter said.
"Hopefully even more people
will turn out for the runoff,"
Carpenter said.

Panel strives to inform students about diversity
* STEREOTYPES WERE OF
INTEREST TO THE GROUP.
By JEFF SIRMONS
Alligator Writer
jsirmons@alligator.org
Piramno Rosetta is a cross-
dressing bisexual Wiccan pagan.
"If you toss a bucket of water
on. me, I won't melt-I'll hy-
drate," Rosetta said, denouncing
stereotypes of witchcraft. "If you
hand me a broom, I'll sweep."
Rosetta, UF's Pagan Student
Union president, was one of
seven panelists exemplifying
diversity for Doing Diversity, an
event sponsored by the Student
Government Multicultural
Affairs Cabinet on Wednesday
to raise diversity awareness on
campus.
"On campus, I've noticed a lot
of instances of racism and dis-
crimination," said Erica Carlsson,
co-director of the Multicultural
Affairs Cabinet.
"One of my friends was ha-
rassed at a football game as a
stupid Chinese person-she's
Vietnamese," she said. "It hap-
pens all the time. This discussion
is a great way to take issues like
that and have professional help
with the discrimination."
Roy Kaplan,
On former executive
Campus director of The
National Conference
for Community and Justice in
Tampa, which deals with spread-
ing diversity awareness, has
spent the past 15 years working
toward a society that is accepting
of all forms of diversity.
"Our mission is to fight bias,
bigotry and racism," he said.
"Unfortunately, we'll never go
out of business."
Kaplan's message to students
was that they are not too small to
make a difference.
"You have a lot of power;
you just need to know to use it,"
Kaplan said.
Some stereotypes often are
disguised but are equally as pow-
erful as those that are easily seen,
Kaplan said.
"I don't say 'handicap,'" he
said. "The word 'handicap' origi-
nates from disabled folks sitting
in wheelchairs holding their
caps out for money. Handy cap.
Handicap."
Bethany Stevens, a disabled
UF student who said her parents
were advised by their doctor to
take her to the mountaintops and
leave her there at birth, said that
she has learned to embrace life
through her disability.
"About 80 percent of you will
become disabled some time in
your life," Stevens said to the
crowd of about 40. "You might as
well become self-actualized and
expect it and respect it."

Women's forum hosts mayor
By NEIL HUGHES

Gainesville Mayor Pegeen
Hanrahan was honest with UF
students about her feelings for a
physics professor she had during
her days as a UF student.
. After receiving a grade she was
unhappy with on a test, Hanrahan
said she spoke with the professor
about the test's difficulty.
"We need to question win-
ner-take-all elections and
look to alternatives."
Charles Grapski
UF professor
"The guy looked right at me and
said, 'Well, I don't think it's that
tough. You must not be that smart,'"
Hanrahan said.
"I never went back to that son of
a bitch's class."
. Hanrahan's candid discus-
sion was part of a forum entitled
"Women in Politics," presented
Wednesday as part of Women's
History Month.
The forum also included teachers
M. Margaret Conway and Charles
Grapski.
Hanrahan's lecture, en-
titled "Gender Dynamics in Local
Politics," discussed both the posi-
tives and the negatives of being a
female in politics.
Being a woman helps her, she
said, because women make up a
larger percentage of the population
than men and also have higher turn-
out rates in elections.
Grapski told students in Riker
Hall that the entire American form
of democracy may be the problem. -
"We need to question winner-
take-all elections and look to alter-
natives," he said.
He compared the need for change
in American politics to the events of
the civil rights movement.
Grapski cited foreign govern-
ments that use proportional repre-

sentation, saying that those nations'
governments are made of nearly 50
percent women, compared with 15
percent in the United States.
"If we can create a system that
is more representative of women,
we can create a system that is more
representative of us all," he said.
"Then we would see higher than 13
percent turnout in elections like in
Gainesville."
Conway told listeners that if they
want to make a difference about
women's involvement in politics,
they need to get involved.
"Join groups that will support
what you are interested in and be
active in them," Conway said. "You
have to be active in all forms of gov-
ernment local, state and federal."

Arab American
raps for peace
By LINDSAY TAULBEE
Alligator Writer
Itaulbee@alligator.org
A Palestinian-American rapper and activist took the floor ,
Wednesday to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and to
perform.
Forgoing the Reitz Union Auditorium's stage to instead
walk amongst the crowd, Will Youmans, who goes by the
stage name "Iron Sheik," criticized the media's "sound
bite" culture; explained some of the history of the Middle
East conflict and spoke of the possibility for peace in the
future.
"I'm not here to convert anyone over to my side or view,"
he told an audience of about 50. Rather, he said, he hoped
to provide a framework for understanding the
conflict while inspiring audience members to
On learn more on their own.
Campus "We have a responsibility to learn about this
part of the world," he said, noting "truth, his-
tory and context" should be taken into account.
The University of California at Berkeley law school
graduate also said he wanted to make it clear where he was
coming from morally.
"Violence against civilians is wrong, no matter who's
perpetrating it," he said.
Achieving peace, he said, will require taking into account
both sides of the story. Echoing Martin Luther King Jr., he
also said peace in the Middle East should not be just an ab-
sence of violence but also the implementation of justice.
Before performing his song "Olive Trees," Youmans
repeated the chorus to the audience several times so they
could join in as he sang.
"They exiled us and they stole our homes, now all we
have are old keys and new poems. They turned us into
refugees, and uprooted us like our olive trees," he recited,
referencing Palestinian relocation following the creation of
the Israeli state in 1041S
Youmans also criticized the mainstream media in the
United States, reciting his poem "Fox News." The media's
financial interests lie in not criticizing the U.S. government,
thus making it difficult to understand world events, he
said.
Youmans also expressed hope Arabs would be more
visible in the United States in the future, both socially and
politically.
"We just haven't been at the table," he said.
Volunteers for International Student Affairs and the Reitz
Union Board sponsored the event.

Extending perks to same-sex couples could give UF hiring advantage
BENEFITS, from page 1
having a legal way to solidify long-
term relationships because state
Republicans won't allow same-sex
marriage or civil unions.
Besides being a human rights
concern, UF has pragmatic reasons
to offer such benefits, Andrews said.
"In today's job market, if you
don't offer things like that, you're
not going to get a lot of these pres-
tigious professors to come to your
university," she said. "If you look
at the top Fortune 500 companies,
almost all of them offer domestic
partner benefits. Basically, the uni-
versity is losing out."
In addition to corporations and
municipal governments includ-
ing the City of Gainesville more
than 100 universities in the coun-
try offer domestic partner ben-
efits. The Universities of Michigan,
Washington and Colorado, the
California State University System,
and all eight Ivy League universities
offer domestic partner benefits to
their employees.
But UF Trustee Al Warrington
told the Alligator on Monday that
UF would be wrong to follow in the
steps of Michigan and the 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."
But even in the South, universi-
ties such as Duke and Wake Forest
in North Carolina, Vanderbilt in
Tennessee, Emory in Atlanta and
Tulane in New Orleans all offer part-
nerbenefits, as well as private Florida
schools like Stetson University,
Nova Southeastern University and
UM.
UF President
Bernie Machen
has said he wants
to push UF into
the Top 10 ech-
elon of public
universities
Machen eight of which
offer benefits to
same-sex couples.
University of California spokes-
man Noel Van Nyhuis said competi-
tion for professors and graduate stu-
dents was a reason why UC started-
offering such benefits in 1997.
"Those changes .were imple-
mented firstly to do right by our
employees, and also to maintain a
competitive advantage to help lure
and retain top talent at the univer-
sity," he said.
But if UF offered same-sex ben-
efits, it would be blazing a path far
ahead of current state law, just as
in 2003 when UF became the first
Florida public university to add
sexual orientation to its non-dis-
crimination policy.
Currently, Florida's non-discrim-
ination law does not address sexual
orientation. State law also prohibits
homosexual couples from adopting
children, bans recognition of same-
sex marriage, and a statute forbid-
ding "unnatural and lascivious"
sexual acts remained on the books
until the U.S. Supreme Court struck
it down in 2003.
No public university in the state
offers domestic -partner benefits to
same-sex couples.
Moreover, a coalition led by the
1-million-strong Florida Baptist
Convention is collecting signatures
to enshrine the 'ban on same-sex
- marriage in the state constitution.
Nevertheless, Machen told .the
Alligator that the extension of same-
sex partner benefits is not a matter
of if, but a matter of when, though
he noted there exist some. "technical
problems."
The Campus Climate Committee
recommended extending domestic
partner benefits last year, and the
Faculty Senate passed a resolution
urging UF to do so in 2001.
Despite overselling decals,. official maintains parking availability is sufficient
PARKING, from page 1
to students living on campus who have com-
pleted at least 60 credit hours were oversold
by 106 percent. At that point, 1,653 decals were
in effect, relative to just 800 spaces designated-
for Red 1 parking, UF's Web site states.
Additionally, those who hold Shands
medical resident tags and brown married
housing decals may also utilize red parking
areas, further reducing options for Red 1 de-
cal holders.
But Red 1 decal holders may also park in
All Red and All Decal parking areas, which
they share with Red 3 tag holders, who are
on-campus underclassmen. Their decals are
oversold by 15 percent, or 3,558 decals for-
3,101 spaces designated All Red or All Decal.
Commuter decals for off-campus students
fared worse at an oversell rate of 125 percent
as of October 2003.
Conversely, orange spaces, for which only
faculty and staff are allotted decals, were un-
dersold slightly during the same period, with
3,514 decals sold for 3,571 spaces.
Despite the numbers, Fox insisted there is a
sufficient amount of red parking.
"We know that there is enough red park-
ing," he said, citing the availability of spaces in
Garage V,.situated next to Hume Hall.
"We have to look at who we're going to
take the parking away from and if it is fair to
do so," he said.
With UF's master plan calling for two new
parking garages, Fox said he hopes his agency
will not have to raise the price of decals.
"No one thinks that is a desirable thing to
do," he said.
In 2002, Transportation and Parking
Services generated approximately $7.3 million
in revenue, with $4.2 million coming from de-
cal sales and $1.5 million from parking tickets.
Toll, metered and special events parking made
up the bulk of the remaining $1.6 million, ac-
cording to its Web site.
The cost of a red decal is $94 for an entire
academic year or $47 per semester.
Out of that revenue, $3.9 million went to
regular operating expenses of the agency's of-
fices on Gale Lemerand Drive, with another $3
million allocated to pay off construction debt

UF was going to become a dry campus," Goldberg said.
There are three administration committees created to curb
the negative effects of excessive drinking, Telles-Irvin said.
"We don't always have really good judgment. We don't act
well when we've had too much to drink," she said.
Goldberg said as Student Body president, he looks forward
to teaming up with administrators to help educate students on
responsible drinking, but said he was concerned about making
sure the rights of the students would not be taken away.
"At the end of the day, we're all on the same side," he said.
"It's a matter of how we're going to come to a solution of the
problem."
In other Senate news, UF history was made Tuesday night
when Sen. Diane Kassim was elected the first black Senate
president, appointed unanimously by the Senate.
Also at the meeting, 46 newly elected senators were sworn
in and Sen. John Boyles took the position of Senate's second top
spot, Senate pro-tempore. Boyles also was the only nominee for
the seat. He was voted in-unanimously.
Last Spring's elected senators made an impact upon their
exit by sharing words of wisdom to the fresh faces, making
choked-up farewell speeches and giving friendly roasts of
peers with gag "Paper Plate" and "Shot Glass" awards.
A roller coaster of emotions powered through into the early
morning, from jokes about former Senate President Bryson

Insert insiders?
Sun-SG joint effort looks
promising, but be wary
Competition is a benefit in all industries. The free market
system forcing rival bodies constantly to strive to one-up
each other if they want to stay strong ensures that con-
sumers get the best possible products.
Disseminating the news is no different.
Here at the Alligator, we welcome the opportunity to have
another publication to compete with. It keeps us on our toes.
We always have had a semi-competitive relationship with
The Gainesville Sun which we think our compatriots at the
Sun would agree has benefited both papers.
So, when it is revealed that the Sun is courting Student
Government in hopes of being subsidized to appear on campus
for free, we say: Bring it on.
After all, the editorial board once was told in an interview
with a Student Government candidate who will remain name-
less that, "Students want a place where they can get local
news for free."
Well, far be it for us to begrudge them a free local news
service. We're leery of the idea, but it might be crazy enough
to work.
Even better, the Sun has brought up the idea of a special
insert that would be written by UF students.
Proponents say this will bring a second perspective that stu-
dents are lacking now, and also that it will give students more
opportunities to get published than they have with the Alligator.
Both of these viewpoints are true; a second perspective always
is beneficial in order to get a complete view of the issues.
Plus, any journalism student quickly will apprise you of the
difficulties of getting work published around here.
This sort of thing has worked in the past, as UF students
once wrote a section for the Sun as part of a journalism course.
But before we congratulate those who have spearheaded this
competition, we must be cautious about their motives.
Student Sen. Mike Belle, who recently was thwarted in his
attempt to join the Gainesville City Commission, has been vocal
in his derision of the Alligator's so-called negative coverage of
his activities enough to hang his hat on the competition.
Former Student Sen. Stephanie Ruby, who also aided in the
push to bring the Sun to UF, was Belle's purported campaign
spokeswoman until she mentioned that she was "basically"
offered a Sun internship for securing the deal. She stopped
speaking for him quickly after that.
But we didn't report about that in our news story, because
we don't trust Stephanie Ruby. When she was an Alligator
stringer, she told editors she had no political affiliations, but in
reality she was a Gator for Kerry and Castor. She was banned.
Guess there's nothing like a Gator scorned.
Similar UF-Sun relationships have worked before, but they
never have been financed through a direct payment from SG.
Another concern is whether this is the best way to spend ap-
proximately $16,000 of student money. With students already
. footing the bill for a $40,000 readership program that brings
"free" issues of The New York Times and USA Today to cam-
pus, SG must be sure students want to pay for another paper.
Of greater concern, however, is the simple fact that SG will
be paying for the creation of a new publication.
While the plan is for Sun interns to write the insert, it is easy
to see how SG could use its funding of the program as leverage
for input regarding content.
A publication being openly financed by a political body
does not bode well for its objectivity.
We'll take honest competition any day of the week, but the
last thing students need is a propaganda machine that will do
nothing but spout the positives of SG whenever the Alligator
prints something negative.

Column
Mississippi bill offers hope for society
he abolition of slavery. The adoption of the Magna
Carta. The fall of the Berlin Wall.
Each of these was a moment in history in which
people stood up and said, "That's not right."
Each resonates throughout our society today as a mile-
stone in the advancement of human freedoms.
Now, we can add another item to that list.
After a bitter history of civil rights disputes, protests and
one or two small wars, Mississippi lawmakers approved
a bill Tuesday that finally would if passed allow
Mississippi residents to braid extensions into their hair
without facing the fascist licensing requirements they had
slaved under for years.
This is not just a victory for the portion of the popula-
tion (about .00000000032 percent) that applies extensions to
their hair without the aid of chemicals; this is a victory for
all of humankind.
But don't take it from me. Here's what Valerie Bayham,
an actual lawyer (I promise), had to say about this land-
mark piece of legislation: "It's a victory for economic free-
dom over the power of special interests. The regulations
will allow braiders to get to work."
And get to work they shall. In fact, a number of states
have gotten into the spirit and started dropping hair-braid-
ing restrictions.
However, change of this magnitude does not sit well
with the more backward-thinking Mississippi citizens and
politicos.
Predictably, for such a contentious issue, there are vocal
detractors on both sides.
Proponents of a free and unfettered hair-braiding policy
(dreadlocked hippies) say the bill doesn't leave the choice
to braid fully in the hands of the people.
They have a valid point. Under the proposed legislation,
hair-braiders still would have to pay a $25 annual fee, regis-
ter with the state and administer a rigorous self-test.
On the other side of the
trenches, hard-line follicular con-
servatives baldiess) feel there is
too much risk in any lightening of
hair-extension regulations.
Their primary concern is that,
Matt Sanchez without these regulations, the mar-
Editorial Notebook ket will be flooded by dangerous,
msanchez@alligator.org untrained hair-braiding amateurs.
Adopting an air of exasperated
indignation (or so I would imag-
ine, since I lifted these quotes from
the Associated Press), Mississippi state Sen. Johnnie Walls
said, "The hair braiders are going to be able to practice their
profession without having been taught anything."
Worse, these bootleg hair-braiders, because they have
not been through proper training, unwittingly could spread
debilitating scalp diseases which, to date,-have killed as
many as zero people.
These complaints, however, are insignificant compared
to the societal benefits of the bill.
We now can imagine a future in which natural, non-
chemical applications of hair extensions will be performed
freely, by anyone desiring to do so.
In this future, we won't have to inform our children of
the harsh reality that stands today.
"Sorry little Billy, but you're just not smart enough to be
a hair-braider. You should set your sights on something at-
tainable like med school." For us in Florida, there is even
further cause for rejoicing. While we don't have as progres-
sive and complete a system of, hair-extension protections
as Mississippi, we can take heart in one simple fact that is
thrown into sharp relief after the approval of this bill.
We are now, officially, no longer the dumbest state in the
country.

State government doesn't owe college education to anyone
I'd like to respond to
Wednesday's editorial con-
cerning the Florida Legislature
and its consideration of a bill that
would charge out-of-state tuition
and fees to in-state -tudent-s %ho
take more than 1s erxra credits in
addition to what i. rncc,'-iar\ for
their degree.
While that may not be my fa-
vorite idea for addressing the is-
sue of students taking too long to
'graduate, we can't be so quick to
attack lawmakers for their efforts.
We have to look at the larger pic-
ture of what the State University
System is facing.
In the editorial, the author
said, "One of the primary goals of
the State University System is to
provide an education for Florida
students ...." While that is a nice
charge to our government, I hap-
pen to disagree with it. The gov-
ernment is not bound by contract
to.proyide a college education for

Additionally, our state scholar-
ships are just the beginning. Let's
not forget about the hundreds of
millions of dollars our institutions
receive annually for building proj-
ects, research and facility improve-
ments that otherwise would have
been c.'.vered by tuition revenue.
Whill I will never undermine

-our Legislature after we students
receive so much funding that we,
quite frankly, don't deserve. It's
no onr.e ele's responsibility to pay
or turinon for your college educa-
fion than .i -ur own or that of your
parent-s cr guardians. In turn, wve
are torntiriate enough to live in a
,society and under a government
that values education enough that
they embrace the ideas of scholar-
ships, education foundations and
government grant funding.
The next time you only have
to pay a fraction or hardly any of
your tuition and fees, think about
people like our parents, grandpar-
ents, older siblings, or friends in
other states that didn't have that
luxury. In addition to that, the
universities don't have enough
money, and we must address the
areas of spending that are draining
the system most and make up for
those losses. As the government
continues to subsidize our college
educations, they have every right
to charge more money to anyone
who takes additional time or cred-
its to graduate.

sophomore.
Letters to the Editor
Penalize any additional years, not credits
Editor: If the legislature wanted to discour-
age students from spending more than -four
years in college, why not just increase tuition
for students in their fifth year? This way, any
students pursuing minors or multiple majors
or those with AP/IB credit would not be
punished as long as they graduate in four,
years.
Students still could take more credits than
necessary, although it would require taking
heavier loads or summer classes. This would

Organization chops hair to 'chomp' children's cancer

Touching Thai movie totes famed transgender boxer
Ashy young boy who wears flowers
on his head, plays with dolls and se-
cretly puts on lipstick, is an unlikely
candidate for the aggressive world of Muay
Thai fighting.
The 2004 Thai action drama "Beautiful
Boxer" proves that statement wrong.
Based on the true story of Nong Toom,
Thailand's famed transgender kickboxer,
"Beautiful Boxer" redefines many of the con-
ventions of what constitutes masculinity and
femininity.
The movie follows Toom from early child-
hood to his teenage years as a novice monk,
to the grueling training of boxing camps and
finally into the fights.
From an early age, Toom knew he want-
ed to be a girl, and when he later realized
he could make money by'winning boxing
fights, he made it his goal to become one.
This is the story of the transformation of
-a timid boy into a powerful opponent, all
in the pursuit of a lifelong dream of total
femininity.
With Asanee Suwan, a real-life boxing
champ, playing the role of Toom, the movie's
fight scenes are fast-paced and intense, yet
beautifully choreographed to reveal Muay
Thai boxing .as a powerful art form beyond
pure violence.
In addition to its well-choreographed
fights, "Beautiful Boxer" is a visually
powerful film that takes the audience on
a journey through
scenic mountaintop.
farms, Buddhist
monasteries and the
bustling city life of
Bangkok.
Angie De Angells "Beautiful Boxer"
At the Hipp is a profoundly
theavenue@alligator.org touching movie that
deals with contro-
versial and provoca-
tive subjects in'a unique way. It puts aside
all stereotypes and gives the audience a
character with they can learn from and root
for. From the beginning, you're on Toom's
side..
This movie and Toom's real-life story are
examples of courage and determination, the
will-to continue striving toward your dreams
in the face of adversity.
Directed by first-time film director Ekachai
Uekrongtham, "Beautiful Boxer" is the grand-
prize winner of the Brussels International Film
Festival, winner of the Audience Award at the
Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, nominee
for 13 Thai Academy Awards and winner of
dozens of other national and international
awards.
"Beautiful Boxer" opens Friday at the

THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 2005 N ALLIGATOR,11
Author recounts real-life 'Catcher in the Rye' tale
Brad Land couldn't be more Holden
Caulfield.
Of course, the main character in
"The Catcher in the Rye" had a couple things
over Land. No one beat the holy crap out of
Holden during his mental breakdown, and
his character was fictional.
Land's book "Goat" is a non-fictional
memoir. He tells the story of how he fell
apart against a backdrop of violence and
fraternity hazing. -
While at a party with his brother Brett,
Land was kidnapped and beaten nearly to
death.
Before the kidnapping, Land had left
one college because he was lonely, He
was highly sensitive to the fact that he is
smaller than his brother, not as good look-
ing and just plain socially awkward.
After the kidnapping, his brother leaves
for Clemson University without him and
joins Kappa Sigma fraternity. Land finds
himself feeling more separated from soci-
ety after the violence.
He suffers post-traumatic' stress epi-
sodes and has no way of battling it. He
mentions how his mother, a school nurse,
was capable of topical treatment but pow-
erless to fix him emotionally after his at-
tack. Land falls in love with almost every
girl he comes in contact with but doesn't
pursue a relationship because he knows
none of them can fix him.
Part of this book's appeal is how hon-
estly broken Land portrays himself.
Bereft with missing Brett at Clemson,
Land visits him at the fraternity. He knows
on some level that emotionally he is not
finished with the kidnapping. But all he
could see at Clemson was the fun and
sense of his belonging his brother seems to
have found in the fraternity.
SYearning for the
brotherhood and the
safety he perceives
in it, he follows his
brother to Clemson
Cher Phillips for the purpose of
Off the Press pledging the frat.
r Even his education
theavenue@alIigator.org was second to pledg-
ing. He chose his
major to accommodate his pledge schedule.
Land's debut into his brother's world
of frat parties, girls and booze has the op-
posite effect than he expected. Brett with-
draws from him. Land wins a bid from the-
Kappa Sigma's but the hazing that accom-
panies it brings a kind of violence back
into Land's life that pits a world he could
desperately wants to belong to against
continued victimization.
The violence of his kidnapping comes
back to haunt him and he has to choose
what he wants more. Either choice he
makes drives his brother, who he only
wanted to be close with, even further
away.
Land's writing has a stream of con-
sciousness and casual feel to it. He's
forsaken a good deal of punctuation and
grammar, but it works.
Land approaches the violence of hazing
in an honest manner. According to Land,
this is a true account. He recounts from the
pledge book how hazing in any form was
prohibited, while he writes of the fear of
what the next night will bring. He makes
no judgments about the disclaimers. But
he spells out in detail the degradation of
his hazing and it doesn't look all that dif-
ferent than his brutal attack.
"Goat" is now out in trade paperback
after a year on the shelves in hardback.

Team Mascot to come out of dugout for show Friday
By JACQUELINE DAVISON
Avenue Writer
Gainesville indie rockers, Team
Mascot have taken the long road.
Drummer/vocalist Tom Gilhuley
and vocalist/keyboardist/guitarist
David Castellanos started playing
together in Modesto, Cali. in 2001.
"Gainesville is by far the best
scene I've ever had the pleasure of
being in," says Gilhuley.
"The way the bands support
each other and the number of
venues there are to play and the
number of people that go out and
support live music is amazing."
Castellanos and Gilhuley first
met with a shared love for beer
and sports, forming the basis of
the TM bond. During Gilhuley's
short stint in California (less than
a year) the duo had written many
songs together, though never un-
der a name.
"I wasn't doing anything there
except going to a lot of A's games
and drinking a lot of beer," says
Castellanos.
Gilhuley migrated to
ate school and Justin Tzuanos took
over.
"I think Chad was a better
Wiffle ball player than Justin," says
Gilhuley. "So yeah, we kind of lost
a few digits in the runs column,
but hey, our pitching is looking
good this year."

"The Mascot couldn't have
picked a better place to be," says
Gilhuley.
The band came together in
September of 2003, with the ad-
dition of Chad Rogers on bass.
Rogers relocated to St. Louis, Mo.

thought of the band name because
of the band's love for sports.
"We're like the rock 'n' roll
representative for those kids who
got picked last in gym class," says
Gilhuley. "Although, if you're
talking' Wiffle ball, we will take
you out."
With comparisons to

Gilhuley.
b"ll, "Our sound is
pretty standard," says
l,lLeu Castellanos. "We're

rock band with bass,
drums, guitars, keyboards, beer
and three singers."
The near future for TM holds
lofty goals.
"We just want to make enough
money to buy beer and baseball
tickets," says Gillhuley.
You can find TM this Friday at
The Shamrock with Momingbell,
Fortune Cookies and Jacksonville's
From Out of the Sky.
As far as long term goals go,
TM isn't looking for much more
than a good time.
"If anyone knows anyone on
the business end of the MLB, let
them know Team Mascot is avail-
able to play before, during or after
at any stadium across the country
this summer," says Gilhuley.
"Our backstage rider is as fol-
lows: beer."
Team Mascot's debut album,
"It's a Sweater!" is now available.

CMC offers alternatives
By COLIN MCCANDLESS
Avenue Writer
The 10,000 books, journals, magazines,
video and audio tapes and newspapers
from independent, non-corporate press
lining the shelves at the Civic Media
Center comprise a wealth of alternative
reading unsurpassed in Gainesville.
The volunteer-run CMC offers further
opportunities to stimulate the intellect
besides perusing their aisles though, in-
cluding a new Philosophy Lecture Series.
Excerpts from Karl Marx and Fredrich
Engels "The Conditions of the Working
Class, Capital," and other assorted Marx
selections mark the inaugural event.
The Philosophy discourse consists of
two-hour sessions addressing a set of dif-
ferent readings distributed to the group a
week prior to the discussion. Former UF
student Glenn Miller leads the free, public
event beginning tonight at 7.
When you're finished dissecting social-
ism and the rise of the proletariat, strike
back at the Man by slinging some working
class vitriolic at Gainesville's longest-run-
ning poetry jam. The CMC continues in
its second year hosting open mic night,
featuring poetry, fiction, music, rants and
other avenues adopted by participants.
This raucous evening of expression
proves "interesting to say the least," says
CMC coordinator Joe Richard. Prepare to
be entertained Thursdays at 9:30 p.m.
If you're seeking a Daily Show fix, but-
lacking a cable hook-up, CMC deals in
political satire. CMC airs a taping of the
popular fake news program with John
Stewart Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m.
Want to get more involved with the
CMC or pitch ideas for events? Join them
at their volunteer meetings Thursdays at 5:
30 p.m. and share your input.
The CMC is a non-profit alternative
press outlet supported by memberships,
donations, community volunteers and
community groups in Gainesville which
use the center as a meeting place.

PLAYLIUST
Locals Only gives bands chance to steal spotlight
By KEELEY MCCARTY
Avenue Writer
Sometimes you feel like a punk;
sometimes you don't.
Rock 104's Locals Only concert
series features up-and-coming
Gainesville bands who are skilled in
the art of rock. The Friday concerts
compliment the Sunday-night Locals
Only radio show hosted by Lauren
O'Neil, which runs from 10 to 11. She
spins tunes by bands that will play
that week, among other local music.
Locals Only was started just un-
der six years ago, says Brian l\allr
an account executive at Rock 104 and
the co-founder of the program.
They started the series with the
goal of creating well-run shows that
would give local bands exposure,
while networking them with other
out-of-town bands.
"It's really hard for Gainesville
bands to get out-of-town shows,"
Walker says.
Some shows feature a non-local
band sandwiched in between two
locals. This helps Gainesville bands
connect with musicians from other
areas, fascilitating show trades, in-
creasing the exposure of both parties.
When the concert series began, it
was held at the Purple Porpoise, but
moved to Eddie C's, 1315 S. Main St.,
about three years ago. Walker says
the venue offered the best sound and
lighting in Gainesville.
Locals Only also has hosted
concerts by Days of the New, Soil,
Crossfade and Blindside. Walker says
when they have a big-name headlin-
er, a local band will'open the show.
To play at a Locals Only show, a
band must submit a demo to O'Neil.
It should have a few songs, relatively
well-produced, says Walker.
The bands selected are usually
more experienced, with about 40 to
50 shows under their belts, he says.
But he stressed the importance of
practice and word-of-mouth.
"It doesn't take long. if a band
starts making waves," Walker says.
Bands in their infancy shouldn't
be discouraged. While they may r
be ready for a Locals Only sho
Eddie C's offers a Wednesday shc
spot open to any regional band tl
wants to play. To get a spot in t
show, bands should e-mail Ed Cla
at eclark@eddiecs.com. The ven
will bum DVDs of the set for $20.
Weekly Locals Only shows start
10 p.m. and cost $5.
A lot of people have the misco
ception that "local' means "bac
Walker says. "But every band wa,
local band at some point."

Difficulties at mound, plate let Tide wash Gators up
By WILLIS JACOBSON
Alligator Writer
Aft&l treating its fans to an extra-
innings thriller the night before, the
No. 13 UF softball team (28-8, 7-2
Southeastern Conference) fell short
of an encore performance Wednesday
afternoon.
The Gators lost
Softball the third and fi-
Alabama 3 nal game of their
UF 2 series against No.
11 Alabama (38-
8, 11-4 SEC) 3-2,
giving up the eventual winning run
on a fifth-inning wild pitch.
"We gave up a run on a wild pitch
trying to intentionally walk a batter
[on Tuesday], and then we threw
another ball away [on Wednesday],"
Coach Karen Johns said. "You're not
going to win many games when you
make those kinds of mistakes in those
situations."
The Gators took a short-lived 2-
0 lead in the third inning, only to
have the Crimson Tide tie the score
in the fourth on a two-run home run
by Alabama shortstop Dominique
Accetturo. Alabama went on to take
the lead for good in the fifth inning,
scoring on a wild pitch by Mandy
Schuerman (8-2).
"I thought [Alabama pitcher
Stephanie VanBrakle] threw a great
game," Johns said. "We just never
really could establish a big rally ...
When we jumped out to the lead,
they came right back and we gave up
the big home run. We've got to do a
better job of shutting the door when
we get a lead like that."
"I thought [Alabama pitcher
Stephanie VanBrakle] threw a
great game. We just never re-
ally could establish a big rally
... When we jumped out to the
lead, they came right back
and we gave up the big home
run. We've got to do a better
job of shutting the door when
we get a lead like that."
Karen Johns
UF coach
In addition to problems in the
pitcher's circle, UF continued to
struggle at the plate. The Gators were
outhit by the Crimson Tide 9-4, with
three of UF's four hits coming in the
third inning. The Gators also struck
out 11 times, tied for second-most
this season.
"We were horrible offensively; we
just really didn't produce anything,"
Johns said. "It's a game of emotional
swings, and we had it going our way,
and then they shut us down and
[VanBrakle] got tougher.
"She's a great pitcher, -and once
they got those two runs ... she just
was not going to let us in, and she
shut the door on us."
In perhaps the only good news for
the Gators, sophomore first baseman
Melissa Zick batted 1 for 2 with one
RBI, extending her career-high hit
streak to eight games.
"I think it'll give me a lot of
confidence going into Georgia [this
weekend], just knowing that I can hit
against anybody," Zick said.
The Gators will travel to Athens,
Ga., this weekend for a three-game
series against No. 12 Georgia (29-7,
12-0 SEC). With a sweep against the
Bulldogs, the Gators would move
into first place in the SEC Eastern
Division.

Herbstreit: UF a national championship contender
By FARZAD SAFI
Alligator Writer
fsafi@alligator.org
Donning designer shades and Gucci shoes,
one of the nation's most popular college foot-
ball analysts showed up at UF's spring prac-
tice. ESPN College Football GameDay Analyst
Kirk Herbstreit is currently touring college
campuses across the country.
On Wednesday afternoon, he stood along-
side U Athletics Director Jeremy Foley, seeing
the newest Gators team first-hand.
"If I were a Gator fan," Herbstreit said, "I
would be really excited about this team."
A studio analyst for ESPN since 1996,
Herbstreit has been around long enough for
the Steve Spurrier, Ron Zook, and, now, Urban
Meyer years at UF.
"Steve Spurrier established a precedent
here," Herbstreit said. "This team was not
only going to win, but they would be cocky
and have a swagger.
"Urban Meyer has already brought that
back," he said. "If you're not ready to defend
the Gators, they will put 50 points on you... in
the first half."
Gators fans who tuned into SportsCenter
last night caught Herbstreit proclaiming on-
air that "This Gators team is definitely a con-
tender for the national championship."
Off the air, however, he revealed that there
is still a lot of work to get to that level.
"Last year's team lacked discipline,"
Herbstreit said. "They also lacked toughness.
Coach Meyer every day in practice is saying
he wants this team to be tougher and to have
the right mindset."
According to Herbstreit, there is no longer a
talent gap between UF and the nation's elite.
"I've traveled to [two-time defending
national champion] University of Southern
California, Texas, Iowa, and Notre Dame,"
Herbstreit said. "And I can honestly say that
this team is physically just as talented as any
of those, if not better."
"The players last year were im-
mature. Meyer does not give you
that option as a player. He lets you
know exactly how he wants things
done."
Kirk Herbstreit
ESPN College Football GpmeDay analyst
Many national pundits believe a team that
returns 14 starters is capable of the very best.
"You don't have to be a Gator fan to be high
on this team," Herbstreit said. "You could be
a realist and see that 14 starters coming back
from a team that was almost there can com-
pete with anybody in the country."
Herbstreit instructed fans to especially
mark Sept. 17 on their calendars. That is when
Tennessee comes to town and should be a criti-
cal juncture in the season.
"Beating the Vols will be huge," he said. "It
would do wonders for this team's confidence.
If-they win that game, then you will see the
national media begin to think of UF as a top-
five team again."
Before leaving, Herbstreit admitted that the
Gators would soon depart from their losing
ways thanks to the new ball coach.
"The players last year were immature," he
said. "Meyer does not give you that option as
a player. He lets you know exactly how he
wants things done.
"Either you do it his way or you go play
somewhere else. Guys can either play 100 per-
cent every down or not play at all."
Chandra Lacombe was named the Southeastern
Conference Field Athlete of the Week Wednesday.
Pole vaulter
earns honor
STAFF REPORT
It was a good start to the outdoor season
for one UF field athlete.
Senior pole vaulter Chandra Lacombe
has been named the Southeastern
Conference Field Athlete of the Week, the
league office announced Wednesday.
The Gators earned numerous Athlete of
the Week honors during the indoor season.
It is the first honor of the outdoor season
for the Gators, as well as the first for a UF
pole vaulter in 2005.
Lacombe soared to new heights, literally,
this past Friday at the Florida Relays.
The fifth-year pole vaulter set a career-
high and NCAA-regional-qualifying mark
of 3.97 meters to place as the second-high-
est collegiate finisher in the event.
Lacombe's mark puts her second all-
time. in UF history and is the top mark in
the SEC during the outdoor season.
Lacombe and the rest of the UF pole
vaulters are back in action Friday at 3:00
p.m. at the University of South Florida
Invite in Tampa.
Coach wanted Memphis
NIT, from page 25
our hands full with them."
Carlos Powell scored 17
points and grabbed 12 rebounds,
and the Gamecocks (19-13)
thwarted the sloppy Terrapins.
Maryland was already
disappointed to be in the NIT
after 11 straight trips to the
NCAA Tournament includ-
ing a national championship
in 2002. The Terps (19-13) will
return home having failed to
extend a school record of eight
straight 20-win seasons.
"The program is not going
away, it's just we didn't have
as good of a year as we wanted
to have," Maryland coach Gary
Williams said. "I don't think
we're going anywhere. I just
think we have to work hard to
get where we want- to be next
year."
The Terrapins had made -
coming-from-behind a com-
mon occurrence in the NIT.
In the first round, they trailed
Oral Roberts by 13 in first half
and by 16 in the second round
against Davidson.
Even in the quarterfinal
victory over Texas Christian,
Maryland rallied from two
second-half deficits to ad-
vance. But those games were
on its home floor. The partisan
New York crowd tried to make
the Terps feel at home, but it
wasn't enough.
After South Carolina went
up by 18 in
the second
half, the
Gamecocks
didn't let
Jh them seri-
ously threaten
again.
Odom T h e y
haye made
a lot of comebacks and we've
allowed a lot of comebacks,"
Odom said. "It did concern
me, but hopefully that's a sign
that we're past that."

UF gives most dominating performance in Tallahassee since early '90s
BASEBALL, frompage 28 run allowed when Falkenbach
from page 28 committed a balk with the bases
batters so the pitchers have to
change their patterns."
The Gators chased FSU starter
Hunter Jones (4-1) after five in-
nings. The usual weekend starter
allowed seven runs and nine hits.
Freshman left-hander Stephen
Locke (4-0) pitched brilliantly, going
5.2 innings and allowing six hits.
"I knew it was going to be a big
game coming into it; it's always
a big rivalry," Locke said. "It re-
ally helped to take the pressure off
early when we got those four runs
in the second inning. That really
helped take a lot of pressure off. I
was just able to throw the ball over
the plate and let it work.
"Coach McMahon is real great
with all of us. He just told me that
I grew up a lot tonight and he was
real happy with my performance."
McMahon removed Locke
in favor of senior right-hander
Connor Falkenbach with two
runners on base in the fifth.
Locke was charged with his only
loaded.
Shortstop Justin Tordi hit a
three-run home run in the fifth
inning, clearing the 40-foot-high
scoreboard 340 feet away.
"I got that one pretty good; once
it left the bat, I knew it was gone,"
Tordi said. "Everybody was telling
me it went over the scoreboard. It
had to be the farthest I've ever hit a
ball in my life."
FSU sophomore shortstop Shane
Robinson extended his hitting
streak to 38 games with a single in
the third inning, but was cut down
by UF catcher Brian Jerolomian try-
ing to steal second base.
Jeroloman has thrown out 20 of
37 runners attempting to steal this
season.
"That was huge. He's probably.
got 25 stolen bases already this
year," Tordi said. "Shane Robinson
is their guy.
"He motivates them to get them
going. To gun him down at second
base he's stolen on everyone.
That's a big momentum shift for
us."

Tim Casey, Alligator
Shortstop Justin Tordi, who hit a three-run home run, gets into position to catch FSU center fielder Shane
Robinson stealing second base in the bottom of the third inning Wednesday night in Tallahassee.
Meyer sick of waiting for potential stars to develop
PIT, from page 28
and a man."
Meyer does riot believe his treatment
of players is unfair at all. In fact, he be-
lieves anything else would be unfair.
"When I was a player, I'd walk off the
field and be beat up," Meyer said. "I'd go
eat and look across the table and see that
kid that didn't practice because he had
an ingrown toenail or something.
"I'd be all beat up, but that kid would
still be eating the same meal, and he'd
still get the same T-shirt. I'm thinking,
'Why the hell am I practicing and he's
not?'"
COMPLIMENTS?: Meyer has a way of
simultaneously complimenting and
criticizing a player if he wants more
from him. Wynn was the victim after
Wednesday's practice.
"He had a little groin injury," Meyer
said. "He pulled himself out for a minute
but then he came back in. The DeShawn
Wynn of old, I was told, would've stayed
out."
Meyer has been adamantly opposed
to waiting around for overdue players to
develop their potential.
"This train is moving fast," Meyer
said. "Either DeShawn is going to jump
on it, or this is it for him."
GIRV BALLS, from page 28
Meyer do,-n't simple break players dov n
either. He builds them up through Champions'
Banquets the ultimate reward tor players
that don't numiss a practice, meeting et cetera.
And at course. who can forget "Winners

Tallahassee native Gavin Dickey felt right
at home, going 2 for 4 with 2 RBI.
UF coach Pat McMahon had Dickey bat

Lots of change for UF
The UF football team this spring has focused on
transforming failure to success. We can't say the
same' about those students lining up feverishly to
drop that biochemistry or calculus class, can we?
While you stand in line wondering what could have
been if you had just studied a little more (or simply had
gone to class), the Gators are thinking about change.
Take running back DeShawn Wynn, for instance.
Reviled for injuries and not playing
.hard enough by former coach Ron
Zook, Wynn is garnering the praise
-, of Coach Urban Meyer.
S And the new football coach has
made it clear that Wynn has his
Gregg Girvan chance to return to the form that had

at Miami in 2003.

"All the stories you've heard, I've
heard them too, and I think they're
true," said Meyer of Wynn's work ethic. "He's been really
good. I've had zero issues with him."
Wynn's just the latest in a group that has received
compliments. The running backs were also lauded when
Ciatrick Fason broke 1,000 yards last season.
A group that was not applauded was the defensive
line. The sack production and quarterback pressures
dropped from 2003 to 2004.
Defensive tackle Ray McDonald said the coaching staff
is out to change that.
"We're a lot more aggressive this year," he said. "It's
going to be a lot more fun. We're going to come after
teams. Believe me when I tell you. They are putting in
scheme, boy. They've got a scheme."
All of this ties into the coaches.
They have instilled the scheme, or really a culture, of
discipline that will transform this team from a semi-win-
ner to a full winner.
Meyer gets the'players psyched at every practice, ev-
ery scrimmage.
He breaks players down to pieces in the infamous Pit,
where injured players slave away.
In fact, it probably gives players like Brandon Siler
nightmares.

VVLUMEiL 97 ISSUE L2 I Benefit p ans could face heat By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM Alligator Staff Writer jvani@alligator.org TALLAHASSEE -Any UF plan to extend domestic partner benefits to same-sex couples may raise the ire of state officials, one of them said Tuesday. "Some of these people have 300 partners in their lifetime, and by and large, these are not monogamous relationships. How many partners do you want to have to cover? I don't know." Dennis Baxley Florida House Representative Rep. Dennis Baxley, ROcala, chairman of the House Education Council, said he strongly opposed any plan to offer benefits such as health insurance to partners of gay or lesbian UF employees, and any UF effort to do so would make it harder for him to support UF funding among his constituents. "All I can say is t'm disappointed that they think they should move in that direction," he said, adding that he didn't know how such a plan could work because homosexuals are too promiscuous. "Some of these people have 300 partners in their lifetime, and by and large, these are not monogamous relationships," he said. "How many partners do you want to have to cover? I don't know." Baxley said offering such benefits would be detrimental to the institution of marriage and might even violate Florida law, which bans state recognition of same-sex marriage. "Marriage is based on monogamy and duty to family, and it doesn't make sense to me why they want to go down that road," he said. Calls to the office of Gov. Jeb Bush were not returned. Upon hearing Baxley's comments, Pride Student Union President Allison Andrews laughed and said they were "very ignorant statements" made by a "peddler of cheap stereotypes." "That's so funny," Andrews said. "Like gay people are never monogamous, and heterosexuals are never promiscuous. I could say the same thing about heterosexuals who can't stay in a relationship. That's like me saying all white men are jerks." Moreover, Andrews said that religious conservatives should not criticize homosexuals for not SEE BENEFITS, PAGE 5 the independent florida Not officially associated with the University of Florida Published by Campus Communications, Inc. of Gainesvile, Floida We Inform.

VP: Dry campus rumors 'false' By BRIDGET CAREY Alligator Staff Writer bcarey@alligator.org Regardless of what students may think, UF administrators are not set on "taking your fun away," said Patricia Telles-Irvin, vice president for Student Affairs. The rumors of an alcohol-free campus were denied vehemently by Telles-Irvin at a Student Senate meeting Tuesday, which did not end until early Wednesday morning. The UF administration, she said, instead focuses its efStudent forts on student Government safety. "I'm not going to guess why" the rumor was started, Telles-Irvin said. "I have my assumptions." Talk of a dry campus gained hype during The Gator Party campaign for Student Government elections, as Student Body President-elect Joe Goldberg vowed to fight against driving alcohol off campus. But Goldberg said in an interview after the meeting that he just wanted to assure students that under his reign there wouldn't be the chance of a dry campus. "Myself nor my party never said SEE SENATE, PAGE 5 STUDENT LIFE Ne parking gara es face shadow of previous debts Parking decal prices may increase By DAVID COHEN and EVA KIS Alligator Staff Writers UF's Transportation and Parking Services may be counting its garages before they hatch, its director confirmed Wednesday. Though UF's master plan calls for the construction of two additional on-campus parking garages within the next four years, interim director Scott Fox said debt from building existing garages has not been fully paid off. Furthermore, no dedicated university funding is planned for these projects. Instead, Fox said his agency is a "self-sufficient operation" almost solely relying on parking tickets issued on campus and decal sales to sustain operations and relieve debt incurred from construction of parking facilities. "It's kind of like an individual going to buy a house," Fox explained. "We tell the lender that we are going to repay the investment from revenue taken from the garage. We are heavily invested in parking garages that we are still paying for." Because of ongoing construction of academic buildings, the growth of UF's student body and the overselling of decals, on-campus parking is hard to come by, Fox admitted. On the other hand, his agency does not limit the amount of decals sold, despite the dearth of "red" parking designated to students living on campus. "There's no secret," Fox said. "UF has made a conscious decision not to limit the number of decals. We're going to make decals available to everyone that wants one."

THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 3 Pane strives to inform students about diversity E STEREOTYPES WERE OF INTEREST TO THE GROUP. By JEFF SIRMONS Alligator Writer jsirmons@alligator.org Piramno Rosetta is a crossdressing bisexual Wiccan pagan. "If you toss a bucket of water on me, I won't melt-I'll hydrate," Rosetta said, denouncing stereotypes of witchcraft. "If you hand me a broom, I'll sweep." Rosetta, UF's Pagan Student Union president, was one of seven panelists exemplifying diversity for Doing Diversity, an event sponsored by the Student Government Multicultural Affairs Cabinet on Wednesday to raise diversity awareness on campus. "On campus, I've noticed a lot of instances of racism and discrimination," said Erica Carlsson, co-director of the Multicultural Affairs Cabinet. "One of my friends was harassed at a football game as a stupid Chinese person-she's Vietnamese," she said. "It happens all the time. This discussion is a great way to take issues like that and have professional help with the discrimination." Roy Kaplan, On former executive Campus director of The National Conference for Community and Justice in Tampa, which deals with spreading diversity awareness, has spent the past 15 years working toward a society that is accepting of all forms of diversity. "Our mission is to fight bias, bigotry and racism," he said. "Unfortunately, we'll never go out of business." Kaplan's message to students was that they are not too small to make a difference. "You have a lot of power; you just need to know to use it," Kaplan said. Some stereotypes often are disguised but are equally as powerful as those that are easily seen, Kaplan said. "I don't say 'handicap,"' he said. "The word 'handicap' originates from disabled folks sitting in wheelchairs holding their caps out for money. Handy cap. Handicap." Bethany Stevens, a disabled UF student who said her parents were advised by their doctor to take her to the mountaintops and leave her there at birth, said that she has learned to embrace life through her disability. "About 80 percent of you will become disabled some time in your life," Stevens said to the crowd of about 40. "You might as well become self-actualized and expect it and respect it."

4, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 2005 ON CAMPUS Women's forum hosts mayor By NEIL HUGHES Alligator Writer nhughes@alligator.org Gainesville Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan was honest with UF students about her feelings for a physics professor she had during her days as a UF student. After receiving a grade she was unhappy with on a test, Hanrahan said she spoke with the professor about the test's difficulty. "We need to question winner-take-all elections and look to alternatives." Charles Grapski UF professor 6 "The guy looked right at me and said, 'Well, I don't think it's that tough. You must not be that smart,"' Hanrahan said. "I never went back to that son of a bitch's class." .Hanrahan's candid discussion was part of a forum entitled "Women in Politics," presented Wednesday as part of Women's History Month. The forum also included teachers M. Margaret Conway and Charles Grapski. Hanrahan's lecture, entitled "Gender Dynamics in Local Politics," discussed both the positives and the negatives of being a female in politics. Being a woman helps her, she said, because women make up a larger percentage of the population than men and also have higher turnout rates in elections. Grapski told students in Riker Hall that the entire American form of democracy may be the problem. "We need to question winnertake-all elections and look to alternatives," he said. He compared the need for change in American politics to the events of the civil rights movement. Grapski cited foreign governments that use proportional repreFind someone special.

"If we can create a system that is more representative of women, we can create a system that is more representative of us all," he said. "Then we would see higher than 13 percent turnout in elections like in Gainesville." Conway told listeners that if they want to make a difference about women's involvement in politics, they need to get involved. "Join groups that will support what you are interested in and be active in them," Conway said. "You have to be active in all forms of government -local, state and federal." Arab American raps for peace By LINDSAY TAULBEE Alligator Writer Itaulbee@aligator.org A Palestinian-American rapper and activist took the floor Wednesday to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and to perform. Forgoing the Reitz Union Auditorium's stage to instead walk amongst the crowd, Will Youmans, who goes by the stage name "Iron Sheik," criticized the media's "sound bite" culture; explained some of the history of the Middle East conflict and spoke of the possibility for peace in the future. "I'm not here to convert anyone over to my side or view," he told an audience of about 50. Rather, he said, he hoped to provide a framework for understanding the conflict while inspiring audience members to On learn more on their own. Campus "We have a responsibility to learn about this part of the world," he said, noting "truth, history and context" should be taken into account. The University of California at Berkeley law school graduate also said he wanted to make it clear where he was coming from morally. "Violence against civilians is wrong, no matter who's perpetrating it," he said. Achieving peace, he said, will require taking into account both sides of the story. Echoing Martin Luther King Jr., he also said peace in the Middle East should not be just an absence of violence but also the implementation of justice. Before performing his song "Olive Trees," Youmans repeated the chorus to the audience several times so they could join in as he sang. "They exiled us and they stole our homes, now all we have are old keys and new poems. They turned us into refugees, and uprooted us like our olive trees," he recited, referencing Palestinian relocation following the creation of the Israeli state in 1948. Youmans also criticized the mainstream media in the United States, reciting his poem "Fox News." The media's financial interests lie in not criticizing the U.S. government, thus making it difficult to understand world events, he said. Youmans also expressed hope Arabs would be more visible in the United States in the future, both socially and politically. "We just haven't been at the table," he said. Volunteers for International Student Affairs and the Reitz Union Board sponsored the event.

THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 5 Extending perks to same-sex couples could give UF hiring advantage BENEFITS, from page 1 having a legal way to solidify longterm relationships because state Republicans won't allow same-sex marriage or civil Lunions. Besides being a human rights concern, UF has pragmatic reasons to offer such benefits, Andrews said. "In today's job market, if you don't offer things like that, you're not going to get a lot of these prestigious professors to come to your university," she said. "If you look at the top Fortune 500 companies, almost all of them offer domestic partner benefits. Basically, the university is losing out." In addition to corporations and municipal governments -including the City of Gainesville -more than 100 universities in the country offer domestic partner benefits. The Universities of Michigan, Washington and Colorado, the California State University System, and all eight Ivy League universities offer domestic partner benefits to their employees. But UF Trustee Al Warrington told the Alligator on Monday that UF would be wrong to follow in the steps of Michigan and the 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." But even in the South, universities such as Duke and Wake Forest in North Carolina, Vanderbilt in Tennessee, Emory in Atlanta and Tulane in New Orleans all offer partnerbenefits, as wellasprivateFlorida schools like Stetson University, Nova Southeastern University and UM. UF President Bernie Machen has said he wants to push UF into the Top 10 echelon of public universities -eight of which offer benefits to same-sex couples. University of California spokesman Noel Van Nyhuis said competition for professors and graduate students was a reason why UC started offering such benefits in 1997. "Those changes were implemented firstly to do right by our employees, and also to maintain a competitive advantage to help lure and retain top talent at the university," he said. But if UF offered same-sex benefits, it would be blazing a path far ahead of current state law, just as in 2003 when UF became the first Florida public university to add sexual orientation to its non-discrimination policy. Currently, Florida's non-discrimination law does not address sexual orientation. State law also prohibits homosexual couples from adopting children, bans recognition of samesex marriage, and a statute forbidding "unnatural and lascivious" sexual acts remained on the books until the U.S. Supreme Court struck it down in 2003. No public university in the state offers domestic partner benefits to same-sex couples. Moreover, a coalition led by the 1-million-strong Florida Baptist Convention is collecting signatures to enshrine the -ban on same-sex marriage in the state constitution. .Nevertheless, Machen told the Alligator that the extension of samesex partner benefits is not a matter of if, but a matter of when, though he noted there exist some "technical problems." The Campus Climate Committee recommended extending domestic partner benefits last year, and the Faculty Senate passed a resolution urging UF to do so in 2001. Despite overselling decaIs, official maintains parking availability is sufficient PARKING from page I to students living on campus who have completed at least 60 credit hours were oversold by 106 percent. At that point, 1,653 decals were in effect, relative to just 800 spaces designated. for Red 1 parking, UF's Web site states. Additionally, those who hold Shands medical resident tags and brown married housing decals may also utilize red parking areas, further reducing options for Red 1 decal holders. But Red 1 decal holders may also park in All Red and All Decal parking areas, which they share with Red 3 tag holders, who are on-campus underclassmen. Their decals are oversold by 15 percent, or 3,558 decals for 3,101 spaces designated All Red or All Decal. Commuter decals for off-campus students fared worse at an oversell rate of 125 percent as of October 2003. Conversely, orange spaces, for which only faculty and staff are allotted decals, were undersold slightly during the same period, with 3,514 decals sold for 3,571 spaces. Despite the numbers, Fox insisted there is a sufficient amount of red parking. "We know that there is enough red parking," he said, citing the availability of spaces in Garage V, situated next to Hume Hall. "We have to look at who we're going to take the parking away from and if it is fair to do so," he said. With UF's master plan calling for two new parking garages, Fox said he hopes his agency will not have to raise the price of decals. "No one thinks that is a desirable thing to do," he said. In 2002, Transportation and Parking Services generated approximately $7.3 million in revenue, with $4.2 million coming from decal sales and $1.5 million from parking tickets. Toll, metered and special events parking made up the bulk of the remaining $1.6 million, according to its Web site. The cost of a red decal is $94 for an entire academic year or $47 per semester. Out of that revenue, $3.9 million went to regular operating expenses of the agency's offices on Gale Lemerand Drive, with another $3 million allocated to pay off construction debt. Student Senate appoints Kassim as its first-ever black female president SENATE, from page I UF was going to become a dry campus," Goldberg said. There are three administration committees created to curb the negative effects of excessive drinking, Telles-Irvin said. "We don't always have really good judgment. We don't act well when we've had too much to drink," she said. Goldberg said as Student Body president, he looks forward to teaming up with administrators to help educate students on responsible drinking, but said he was concerned about making sure the rights of the students would not be taken away. "At the end of the day, we're all on the same side," he said. "It's a matter of how we're going to come to a solution of the problem." In other Senate news, UF history whs made Tuesday night when Sen. Diane Kassin was elected the first black Senate president, appointed unanimously by the Senate. Also at the meeting, 46 newly elected senators were sworn in and Sen. Jolm Boyles took the position of Senate's second top spot, Senate pro-tempore. Boyles also was the only nominee for the seat. He was voted in unanimously. Last Spring's elected senators made an impact upon their ecit by sharing words of wisdom to the fresh faces, making choked-up farewell speeches and giving friendly roasts of peers with gag "Paper Plate" and "Shot Glass" awards.

6, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 2005 Insert insiders? Sun-SG joint effort looks promising, but be wary C competition is a benefit in all industries. The free market system forcing rival bodies constantly to strive to one-up each other if they want to stiy strong ensures that consumers get the best possible products. Disseminating the news is no different. Here at the Alligator, we welcome the opportunity to have another publication to compete with. It keeps us on our toes. We always have had a semi-competitive relationship with The Gainesville Sun -which We think our compatriots at the Sun would agree has benefited both papers. So, when it is revealed that the Sun is courting Student Govermment in hopes of being subsidized to appear on campus for free, we say: Bring it on. After all, the editorial board once was told -in an interview with a Student Government candidate who will remain nameless -that, "Students want a place where they can get local news for free." Well, far be it for us to begrudge them a free local news service. We're leery of the idea, but it might be crazy enough to work. Even better, the Sun has brought up the idea of a special insert that would be written by UF students. Proponents say this will bring a second perspective that students are lacking now, and also that it will give students more opportunities to get published than they have with the Alligator. Both of these viewpoints'are true; a second perspective always is beneficial in order to get a complete view of the issues. Plus, any journalism student quickly will apprise you of the difficulties of getting work published around here. This sort of thing has worked in the past, as UF students once wrote a section for the Sun as part of a journalism course. But before we congratulate those who have spearheaded this competition, we must be cautious about their motives. Student Sen. Mike Belle, who recently was thwarted in his attempt to join the Gainesville City Commnission, has been vocal in his derision of the Alligator's so-called negative coverage of his activities -enough to hang his hat on the competition. Former Student Sen. Stephanie Ruby, who also aided in the push to bring the Son to UF, was Belle's purported campaign spokeswoman -until she mentioned that she was "basically" offered a Sun internship for securing the deal. She stopped speaking for him quickly after that. But we didn't report about that in our news story, because we don't trust Stephanie Ruby. When she was an Alligator stringer, she told editors she had no political affiliations, but in reality she was a Gator for Kerry and Castor. She was banned. Guess there's nothing like a Gator scorned. Similar UF-Sun relationships have worked before, but they never have been financed through a direct payment from SG. Another concern is whether this is the best way to spend approximately $16,000 of student money. With students already footing the bill for a $40,000 readership program that brings "free" issues of The New York Times and USA Today to campus, SG must be sure students want to pay for another paper. Of greater concern, however, is the simple fact that SG will be paying for the creation of a new publication. While the plan is for Sun interns to write the insert, it is easy to see how SG could use its funding of the program as leverage for input regarding content. A publication being openly financed by a political body does not bode well for its objectivity. We'll take honest competition any day of the week, but the last thing students need is a propaganda machine that will do nothing but spout the positives of SG whenever the Alligator prints something negative.

Opinions ALLIGATOR www.aligator.org/opi onions Couns Mississippi bill offers hope for society he abolition of slavery. The adoption of the Magna Carta. The fall of the Berlin Wall. Each of these was a moment in history in which people stood up and said, "That's not right." Each resonates throughout our society today as a milestone in the advancement of human freedoms. Now, we can add another item to that list. After a bitter history of civil rights disputes, protests and one or two small wars, Mississippi lawmakers approved a bill Tuesday that finally would -if passed -allow Mississippi residents to braid extensions into their hair without facing the fascist licensing requirements they had slaved under for years. This is not just a victory for the portion of the population (about .00000000032 percent) that applies extensions to their hair without the aid of chemicals; this is a victory for all of humankind. But don't take it from me. Here's what Valerie Bayham, an actual lawyer (I promise), had to say about this landmark piece of legislation: "It's a victory for economic freedom over the power of special interests. The regulations will allow braiders to get to work." And get to work they shall. In fact, a number of states have gotten into the spirit and started dropping hair-braiding restrictions. However, change of this magnitude does not sit well with the more backward-thinking Mississippi citizens and politicos. Predictably, for such a contentious issue, there are vocal detractors on both sides. Proponents of a free and unfettered hair-braiding policy (dreadlocked hippies) say the bill doesn't leave the choice to braid fully in the hands of the people. They have a valid point. Under the proposed legislation, hair-braiders still would have to pay a $25 annual fee, register with the state and administer a rigorous self-test. On the other side of the trenches, hard-line follicular conservatives (baldies) feel there is too much risk in any lightening of hair-extension regulations. Their primary concern is that, Matt Sanchez without these regulations, the marEd itorial Notebook ket will be flooded by dangerous, untrained hair-braiding amateurs. msannhez@alitgator.org 0D Adopting an air of exasperated indignation (or so I would imagine, since I lifted these quotes from the Associated Press), Mississippi state Sen. Johnnie Walls said, "The hair braiders are going to be able to practice their profession without having been taught anything." Worse, these bootleg hair-braiders, because they have not been through proper training, unwittingly could spread debilitating scalp diseases -which, to date, have killed as many as zero people. These complaints, however, are insignificant compared to the societal benefits of the bill. We now can imagine a future in which natural, nonchemical applications of hair extensions will be performed freely, by anyone desiring to do so. In this future, we won't have to inform our children of the harsh reality that stands today. "Sorry little Billy, but you're just not smart enough to be a hair-braider. You should set your sights on something attainable -like med school." For us in Florida, there is even further cause for rejoicing. While we don't have as progressive and complete a system of hair-extension protections as Mississippi, we can take heart in one simple fact that is thrown into sharp relief after the approval of this bill. We are now, officially, no longer the dumbest state in the country. Matt Sanchez is opinions editor at the Alligator. The views expressed here are not necessarily those of the Alligator.

This way, any students pursuing minors or multiple majors or those with AP/IB credit would not be punished -as long as they graduate in four years. Students still could take more credits than necessary, although it would require taking heavier loads or summer classes. This would discourage students from taking any "unnecessary" classes. This option is far better than both the proposed bill and block tuition. What is good for students is that they still get to make the important choices about their education. The options to have a second major, a minor, etc., remain open.

8, ALLIGATOR M THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 2005 Organization Chops hair to 'chomp' children's cancer By ADRIENNE BROWNE Alligator Contributing Writer Sandy Klickstein grew out her hair for months just so she could cut it off Wednesday afternoon. Klickstein, 19, donated 7 inches of her long, brown hair to Locks of Love, a nonprofit organization that creates wigs to be distributed to children with long-term medical hair loss. Klickstein had her hair cut at Wednesday's Chomp Cancer Carnival, an event sponsored by Friends for Life of America on the Reitz Union North Lawn. Friends for Life of America is an organization dedicated to improving the lives of children living with cancer. Locks of Love was also present at the carnival. "It's a big shock, but it's worth it," Klickstein said about her haircut. "It's a wonderful cause, and more people should do it." Klickstein, a cabinet member of Friends for Life of America, was one of more than 400 people who stopped by the carnival to play trivia, eat cotton candy and design a paper quilt for children at Shands at UF. Carnival chairwoman Lauren Schlossberg said the event took months to plan and cost about $1,500. "We just figured through games and fun, people would come out," said Schlossberg, who hoped the event would raise awareness about pediatric cancer. Children diagnosed with cancer 30 years ago had a 10 percent chance of survival, according to trivia the organization provided. Children now have about a 75 percent chance of a full recovery because of improved research and treatment options. "Just because we're college students doesn't mean we can't take the initiative and make a difference." Lauren Schlossberg carnival chairwoman UF marketing major Daniel Pack, 20, was one of a few cancer survivors present at the carnival. He has been in remission from leukemia for 12 years. Pack said he is grateful for the support he was given as a child with cancer and is impressed by the number of volunteers who want to raise awareness about it. "I volunteer because I have a ~1 dl Polly Hurlburt has 7 inches of her hair cut off for Locks of Love, a wigs to be distributed to children with long-term medical hair loss. personal connection with it," Pack "I think it's a really nice thing said.

Although Gainesville is plentiful with bars and dance clubs, what's the use of going to these social gatherings if you can't get on the dance floor and show the crowded room your noteworthy moves? If you are asking yourself, "what noteworthy moves?" then read on. Your schedule just got busy. If Latin dance is your flavor, Salsa Caliente will get you on your way to shakin' it in no time. The club, founded in February 2001, meets three times a week with an average class size of 50 or so students. Its 10 instructors, who originate from all over the world, mostly are UF students whose goals are to spread their love of salsa dancing to anyone in Gainesville and neighboring cities willing to receive it. Lessons for all dancing levels take place on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at the Unified Training Center at 809 W University Ave. Bringing a dance partner is not required. Tuesday lessons are from 9 to 10:30 p.m. and cost $7. Private lessons also are available. Thursday and Sunday lessons start earlier. Thursdays at the UTC run from 8 to 10 p.m. and Sundays run from 5 to 7 p.m. with a lesson every hour. Both nights are $5. For something a little different, the Florida Swing Dancing Club at UF offers free swing lessons. The club sees about 60 to 90 people on dance nights throughout the week. All students, even those around the community, are encouraged to come out on Wednesday and Friday nights to skip and swing on the dance floor. Free lessons for both beginners and intermediate dancers are available in'the first hour of each night. The dances usually Stac run from 9 to 10 p.m., sometimes even longer.

Tlae 2004 Thai action drama "Beautiful Boxer" proves that statement wrong. Based on the true story of Nong Toom, Thailand's famed transgender kickboxer, "Beautiful Boxer" redefines many of the conventions of what constitutes masculinity and femininity. The movie follows Toom from early childhood to his teenage years as a novice monk, to the grueling training of boxing camps and finally into the fights. From an early age, Toom knew he wanted to be a girl, and when he later realized he could make money by winning boxing fights, he made it-his goal to become one. This is the story of the transformation of a timid boy into a powerful opponent, all in the pursuit of a lifelong dream of total femininity. With Asanee Suwan, a real-life boxing champ, playing the role of Toom, the movie's fight scenes are fast-paced and intense, yet beautifully choreographed to reveal Muay Thai boxing as a powerful art form beyond pure violence. In addition to its well-choreographed fights, "Beautiful Boxer" is a visually powerful film that takes the audience on a journey through scenic mountaintop farms, Buddhist monasteries and the bustling city life of Bangkok. Angie De Angelis "Beautiful Boxer" At the Hipp is a profoundly theavenue@alligator.org touching movie that deals with controversial and provocative subjects in a unique way. It puts aside all stereotypes and gives the audience a character with they can learn from and root for. From the beginning, you're on Toom's side.

THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 2005 E ALLIGATOR,11 Author recounts real-life 'Catcher in the Rye' tale frad Land couldn't be more Holden Caulfield. Of course, the main character in "The Catcher in the Rye" had a couple things over Land. No one beat the holy crap out of Holden during his mental breakdown, and his character was fictional. Land's book "Goat" is a non-fictional memoir. He tells the story of how he fell apart against a backdrop of violence and fraternity hazing. While at a party with his brother Brett, Land was kidnapped and beaten nearly to death. Before the kidnapping, Land had left one college because he was lonely. He was highly sensitive to the fact that he is smaller than his brother, not as good looking and just plain socially awkward. After the kidnapping, his brother leaves for Clemson University without him and joins Kappa Sigma fraternity. Land finds himself feeling more separated from society after the violence. He suffers post-traumatic stress episodes and has no way of battling it. He mentions how his mother, a school nurse, was capable of topical treatment but powerless to fix him emotionally after his attack. Land falls in love with almost every girl he comes in contact with but doesn't pursue a relationship because he knows none of them can fix him. Part of this book's appeal is how honestly broken Land portrays himself. Bereft with missing Brett at Clemson, Land visits him at the fraternity. He knows on some level that emotionally he is not finished with the kidnapping. But all he could see at Clemson was the fun and sense of his belonging his brother seems to have found in the fraternity. Yearning for the brotherhood and the safety he perceives in it, he follows his brother to Clemson Cher Phillips for the purpose of Off the Press pledging the frat. Even his education theavenue@alligator.org was second to pledging. He chose his major to accommodate his pledge schedule. Land's debut into his brother's world of frat parties, girls and booze has the opposite effect than he expected. Brett withdraws from him. Land wins a bid from the Kappa Sigma's but the hazing that accompanies it brings a kind of violence back into Land's life that pits a world he could desperately wants to belong to against continued victimization. The violence of his kidnapping comes back to haunt him and he has to choose what he wants more. Either choice he makes drives his brother, who he only wanted to be close with, even further away. Land's writing has a stream of consciousness and casual feel to it. He's forsaken a good deal of punctuation and grammar, but it works. Land approaches the violence of hazing in an honest manner. According to Land, this is a true account. He recounts from the pledge book how hazing in any form was prohibited, while he writes of the fear of what the next night will bring. He makes no judgments about the disclaimers. But he spells out in detail the degradation of his hazing and it doesn't look all that different than his brutal attack. "Goat" is now out in trade paperback after a year on the shelves in hardback. PLAYLIST Team Mascot UP UVome out of dug-out for show Friday By JACQUELINE DAVISON Avenue Writer Gainesville indie rockers, Team Mascot have taken the long road. Drummer/vocalist Tom Gilhuley and vocalist/keyboardist/guitarist David Castellanos started playing together in Modesto, Cali. in 2001. "Gainesville is by far the best scene I've ever had the pleasure of being in," says Gilhuley. "The way the bands support each other and the number of venues there are to play and the number of people that go out and support live music is amazing." Castellanos and Gilhuley first met with a shared love for beer and sports, forming the basis of the TM bond.

12, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 2005 UFstudentJonathanKrotova.k.a.Juk, and fellow rapper Craig McKenzie, a.k.a. Raw Denim, have collaborated to form Black and White Television. Their name, of course, is a play on the pair's respective races. There have been phenomenal, even groundbreaking, hip-hop collaborations in recent years (see Black Star and Madvillain). Juk and Raw didn't live up to that status with their album "The Bridge is Laid." Not even close. I'm sure that's not the point, though. You can't expect to change music forever with a low-budget release and minimal experience. But these tracks leave so, so much to be desired. In all music, in all genres, the correlation between production value and funding is inherently positive. Whether it be a punk band recording a demo in a garage that is horribly off-beat and desperately in need of a metronome, or a hip-hop duo putting down their first album either with a computer program or in some small local studio, production is the first thing that separates them from the Green Days or the Jay-Zs of the world. Chad Smith Playlist theavenue@alligator.org track, "The Bridge is Even still, creativity, talent and effort can make up for the production lapses. Black and White Television were not able to make up the difference. The beat of the album's title Laid," sounds like I took a Casio keyboard and mistakenly pressed something. It should be pointed out that I have, very little idea how to turn on .a keyboard, let alone use one. The lyrics show a little bit of potential, but could be much tighter. "Forget about the money/Forget about the bling/My rap memory won't forget about a thing." A good deal of the album lyrically deals with the state of hip hop, and at such a low tier of the hip-hop game there are so many more pertinent things one could rhyme about. All told, Juk and Raw Denim show potential to become good MCs. For now, a little more time with the mixer wouldn't hurt. CMC offers alternatives By COLIN MCCANDLESS Avenue Writer K The 10,000 books, journals, magazines, video and audio tapes and newspapers from independent, non-corporate press lining the shelves at the Civic Media Center comprise a wealth of alternative reading unsurpassed in Gainesville. The volunteer-rm CMC offers further opportunities to stimulate the intellect besides perusing their aisles though, including a new Philosophy Lecture Series. Excerpts from Karl Marx and Fredrich Engels "The Conditions of the Working Class, Capital," and other assorted Marx selections mark the inaugural event. The Philosophy discourse consists of two-hour sessions addressing a set of different readings distributed to the group a week prior to the discussion. Former UF student Glenn Miller leads the free, public event beginning tonight at 7. When you're finished dissecting socialism and the rise of the proletariat, strike back at the Man by slinging some working class vitriolic at Gainesville's longest-running poetry jam. The CMC continues in its second year hosting open mic night, featuring poetry, fiction, music, rants and other avenues adopted by participants. This raucous evening of expression proves "interesting to say the least," says CMC coordinator Joe Richard. Prepare to be entertained Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. If you're seeking a Daily Show fix, but lacking a cable hook-up, CMC deals in political satire. CMC airs a taping of the popular fake news program with Johm Stewart Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. Want to get more involved with the CMC or pitch ideas for events? Join them at their volunteer meetings Thursdays at 5: 30 p.m. and share your input.

The quintessential punk band will play tonight at Common Grounds with Smoke or Fire (formerly known as Jericho), The Beat Buttons and Fiya. Doors will open at 9. "It's always cool to play in a place where you live and friends come out," Gabel says of tonight's show. The Gainesville-based quartet will be home for the next two weeks before another four-day tour and recording their third full-length album. The yet-untitled CD will be released on Fat Wreck Chords on Sept. 6. Gabel explains the writing process for the songs as being spontaneous. "There's no formula," he says. "Whatever you're traveling has yielded lots of tour stories. The most recent, Gabel says, was in Austin, Texas, during the South By Southwest Music Conference. The entire band "thought it would be a good idea" to ride up and down in the hotel elevator getting people to join them. When the elevator was full with 22 people, it broke and fell one and a half stories, until they were below the basement."We were in there for an hour and a half until the fire department came and rescued us," Gabel says. In spite of the touring and near-death incidents, he says the members get along surprisingly well for as much time as they spend together. "That's just luck."

14, ALLIGATOR .THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 2005 PLAYLIST Locals Only gives bands chane to steal spotlight ..O .y %M .ac. .ta ptih By KEELEY MCCARTY Avenue Writer Sometimes you feel like a punk; sometimes you don't. Rock 104's Locals Only concert series features up-and-coming Gainesville bands who are skilled in the art of rock. The Friday concerts compliment the Sunday-night Locals Only radio show hosted by Lauren O'Neil, which runs from 10 to 11. She spins tunes by bands that will play that week, among other local music. Locals Only was started just under six years ago, says Brian Walker, an account executive at Rock 104 and the co-founder of the program. They started the series with the goal of creating well-run shows that would give local bands exposure, while networking them with other out-of-town bands. "It's really hard for Gainesville bands to get out-of-town shows," Walker says. Some shows feature a non-local band sandwiched in between two locals. This helps Gainesville bands connect with musicians from other areas, fascilitating show trades, increasing the exposure of both parties. When the concert series began, it was held at the Purple Porpoise, but moved to Eddie C's, 1315 S. Main St., about three years ago. Walker says the venue offered the best sound and lighting in Gainesville. Locals Only also has hosted concerts by Days of the New, Soil, Crossfade and Blindside. Walker says when they have a big-name headliner, a local band will open the show. To play at a Locals Only show, a band must submit a demo to O'Neil. It should have a few songs, relatively well-produced, says Walker. -The bands selected are usually more experienced, with about 40 to 50 shows under their belts, he says. But he stressed the importance of practice and word-of-mouth. "It doesn't take long if a band starts making waves," Walker says. Bands in their infancy shouldn't be discouraged. While they may be ready for a Locals Only she, Eddie C's offers a Wednesday shc spot open to any regional band tl wants to play. To get a spot in t show, bands should e-mail Ed Cla at eclark@eddiecs.com. The ven will bum DVDs of the set for $20. Weekly Locals Only shows start 10 p.m. and cost $5.

THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 15 Self-discovery not found in women's survival guide eviewing Alison James' book "The 10 Women You'll Be Before You're 35" uring my last week actually being 35 was perhaps not the best assignment I ever agreed to write. This book is a chick-lit style survival guide written by a girl -flip the book over, I swear! -who looks like a skinny Bridget Jones. James claims she demystifies 10 personas women take on by the time they reach 35. Worried that you've just graduated from college, moved onto the big city, have no friends and no wardrobe? James calls this stage "New graduate," and it's OK. Or, how about the "Dollarless Diva?" Are you completely astounded that the real world costs money and you have to pay school loans back? Again, it's OK. James does unpack the 'most basic concept of a 401K. As director of finance for A&E Television Networks and the History Channel, this may be the one area she is qualified to advise. Because James is not a psychologist and has only a background of researching women's issues, her guide is more aptly seen as social commentary and not a way of life. I would be weary of accepting life advice from a woman who wrote that work can be addictive and then followed in the Cher Phillips same paragraph, Off the Press "When your need theavenue@alligator.org to achieve is driving you whacko and a few drinks won't cure you, seek professional help so you can enjoy your life." Because, hey, working hard is bad and drinking to get over it is good. Right? Come on, what is really that wrong with being what James calls a "Worker Bee?" You like your job and spend a lot of time being good at it? That's OK. Save your money and your time and take it from me, whatever you are going through, it's going to be OK. You are not going to stop being any of James' 10 character sketches, or any 100 other ones by the time you are 35. What this book is, really, is permission to be yourself. And girls, you are going to find a million places along the way to inspire it. I OUT V;~' lapanese Miya Sushi 3222 SW 35th Blvd. (Butler Plaza next to Publix).

24, ALLIGATOR N THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 2005 Difficulties at mound, plate let Tide wash Gators up By WILLIS JACOBSON Alligator Writer Aft&,t treating its fans to an extrainnings thriller the night before, the No. 13 UF softball team (28-8, 7-2 Southeastern Conference) fell short of an encore performance Wednesday afternoon. The Gators lost Softball the third and fiAlabama 3 nal game of their UF 2 series against No. 11 Alabama (388, 11-4 SEC) 3-2, giving up the eventual winning run on a fifth-inning wild pitch. "We gave up a run on a wild pitch trying to intentionally walk a batter [on Tuesday], and then we threw another ball away [on Wednesday]," Coach Karen Johns said. "You're not going to win many games when you make those kinds of mistakes in those situations." The Gators took a short-lived 20 lead in the third inning, only to have the Crimson Tide tie the score in the fourth on a two-run home run by Alabama shortstop Dominique Accetturo. Alabama went on to take the lead for good in the fifth inning, scoring on a wild pitch by Mandy Schuerman (8-2). "I thought [Alabama pitcher Stephanie VanBraklej threw a great game," Johns said. "We just never really could establish a big rally When we jumped out to the lead, they came right back and we gave up the big home run. We've got to do a better job of shutting the door when we get a lead like that." "I thought [Alabama pitcher Stephanie VanBrakle] threw a great game. We just never really could establish a big rally .When we jumped out to the lead, they came right back and we gave up the big home run. We've got to do a better job of shutting the door when we get a lead like that." Karen Johns UF coach In addition to problems in the pitcher's circle, UF continued to struggle at the plate. The Gators were outhit by the Crimson Tide 9-4, with three of UF's four hits coming in the third inning. The Gators also struck out 11 times, tied for second-most this season. "We were horrible offensively; we just really didn't produce anything," Johns said. "It's a game of emotional swings, and we had it going our way, and then they shut us down and [VanBrakle] got tougher. "She's a great pitcher, and once they got those two runs .she just was not going to let us in, and she shut the door on us." In perhaps the only good news for the Gators, sophomore first baseman Melissa Zick batted 1 for 2 with one RBI, extending her career-high hit streak to eight games. "I think it'll give me a lot of confidence going into Georgia [this weekend], just knowing that I can hit against anybody," Zick said. The Gators will travel to Athens, Ga., this weekend for a three-game series against No. 12 Georgia (29-7, 12-0 SEC). With a sweep against the Bulldogs, the Gators would move into first place in the SEC Eastern Division.

26, ALLIGATOR N TH URSDAY, MARCH 31, 2005 Herbstreit: UF a national charnplonship contender By FARZAD SAFI Alligator Writer fsafi@alligator.org Donning designer shades and Gucci shoes, one of the nation's most popular college football analysts showed up at UF's spring practice. ESPN College Football GameDay Analyst Kirk Herbstreit is currently touring college campuses across the country. On Wednesday aftemoon, he stood alongside UF Athletics Director Jeremy Foley, seeing the newest Gators team first-hand. "If I were a Gator fan," Herbstreit said, "I would be really excited about this team." A studio analyst for ESPN since 1996, Herbstreit has been around long enough for the Steve Spurrier, Ron Zook, and, now, Urban Meyer years at UE "Steve Spurrier established a precedent here," Herbstreit said. "This team was not only going to win, but they would be cocky and have a swagger. "Urban Meyer has already brought that back," he said. "If you're not ready to defend the Gators, they will put 50 points on you. in the first half." Gators fans who tuned into SportsCenter last night caught Herbstreit proclaiming onair that "This Gators team is definitely a contender for the national championship." Off the air, however, he revealed that there is still a lot of work to get to that level. "Last year's team lacked discipline," Herbstreit said. "They also lacked toughness. Coach Meyer every day in practice is saying he wants this team to be tougher and to have the right mindset." According to Herbstreit, there is no longer a talent gap between UF and the nation's elite. "I've traveled to [two-time defending national champion] University of Southern California, Texas, Iowa, and Notre Dame," Herbstreit said. "And I can honestly say that this team is physically just as talented as any of those, if not better." "The players last year were immature. Meyer does not give you that option as a player. He lets you know exactly how he wants things done." Kirk Herbstreit ESPN College Football GameDay analyst Many national pundits believe a team that returns 14 starters is capable of the very best. "You don't have to be a Gator fan to be high on this team," Herbstreit said. "You could be a realist and see that 14 starters coming back from a team that was almost there can compete with anybody in the country." Herbstreit instructed fans to especially mark Sept. 17 on their calendars. That is when Tennessee comes to town and should be a critical juncture in the season. "Beating the Vols will be huge," he said. "It would do wonders for this team's confidence. If-they win that game, then you will see the national media begin to think of UF as a topfive team again." Before leaving, Herbstreit admitted that the Gators would soon depart from their losing ways thanks to the new ball coach. "The players last year were immature," he said. "Meyer does not give you that option as a player. He lets you know exactly how he wants things done. "Either you do it his way or you go play somewhere else. Guys can either play 100 percent every down or not play at all." Chandra Lacombe was named the Southeastern Conference Field Athlete of the Week Wednesday. Pole vamulter STAFF REPORT It was a good start to the outdoor season for one UF field athlete. Senior pole vaulter Chandra Lacombe has been named the Southeastern Conference Field Athlete of the Week, the league office announced Wednesday. The Gators earned numerous Athlete of the Week honors during the indoor season. It is the first honor of the outdoor season for the Gators, as well as the first for a UF pole vaulter in 2005. Lacombe soared to new heights, literally, this past Friday at the Florida Relays. The fifth-year pole vaulter set a careerhigh and NCAA-regional-qualifying mark of 3.97 meters to place as the second-highest collegiate finisher in the event. Lacombe's mark puts her second alltime in UF history and is the top mark in the SEC during the outdoor season. Lacombe and the rest of the UF pole vaulters are back in action Friday at 3:00 p.m. at the University of South Florida Invite in Tampa. Coach wanted Memphis NIT, from page 25 our hands full with them." Carlos Powell scored 17 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, and the Gamecocks (19-13) thwarted the sloppy Terrapins. Maryland was already disappointed to be in the NIT after 11 straight trips to the NCAA Tournament -including a national championship in 2002. The Terps (19-13) will return home having failed to extend a school record of eight straight 20-win seasons. "The program is not going away, it's just we didn't have as goodof a year as we wanted to have," Maryland coach Gary Williams said. "I don't think we're going anywhere. I just think we have to work hard to get where we want. to be next year.", The Terrapins had made-. coming-from-behind a common occurrence in the NIT. In the first round, they trailed Oral Roberts by 13 in first half and by 16 in the second round against Davidson. Even in the quarterfinal victory over Texas Christian, Maryland rallied from two second-half deficits to advance. But those games were on its home floor. The partisan New York crowd tried to make the Terps feel at home, but it wasn't enough. After South Carolina went up by 18 in the second half, the Gamecocks didn't let them seriously threaten again. Odom T h e y have made a lot of comebacks and we've allowed a lot of comebacks," Ddom said.

The Gators chased FSU starter Hunter Jones (4-1) after five innings. The usual weekend starter allowed seven runs and nine hits. Freshman left-hander Stephen Locke (4-0) pitched brilliantly, going 5.2 innings and allowing six hits. "I knew it was going to be a big game coming into it; it's always a big rivalry," Locke said. "It really helped to take the pressure off early when we got those four runs in the second inning. That really helped take a lot of pressure off. I was just able to throw the ball over the plate and let it work. "Coach McMahon is real great with all of us. He just told me that I grew up a lot tonight and he was real happy with my performance." McMahon removed Locke in favor of senior right-hander Connor Falkenbach with two runners on base in the fifth. Locke was charged with his only run allowed when Falkenbach committed a balk with the bases loaded. -Shortstop Justin Tordi hit a three-run home run in the fifth inning, clearing the 40-foot-high scoreboard 340 feet away. "I got that one pretty good; once it left the bat, I knew it was gone," Tordi said. "Everybody was telling me it went over the scoreboard. It had to be the farthest I've ever hit a ball in my life." FSU sophomore shortstop Shane Robinson extended his hitting streak to 38 games with a single in the third inning, but was cut down by UF catcher Brian Jerolonan trying to steal second base. Jeroloman has thrown out 20 of 37 runners attempting to steal this season. "That was huge. He's probably got 25 stolen bases already this year," Tordi said. "Shane Robinson is their guy. "He motivates them to get them going. To gun him down at second base -he's stolen on everyone. That's a big momentum shift for US. Shortstop Justin Tordi, who hit a three-run home run, gets into position to catch FSU center fielder Shane Robinson stealing second base in the bottom of the third inning Wednesday night in Tallahassee. -$10 OFF!

Sports ALLIGATOR THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 2005 www.alligatorSports.org Gators use strong pitching, shut down Seminoles By TIM CASEY Alligator Writer f tcasey@alligator.org TALLAHASSEE -Maybe Florida State should choose to dedicate its athletic fields after the Gators have left town. UF crushed the No. 6 Seminoles 9-2 Wednesday night in the newly-renovated Dick Howser Stadium. After $13 million of work, the baseball field will be named for long-time FSU coach Mike Martin on Saturday. The.UF football team beat the Seminoles on Nov. 20 on the night the field at Doak Campbell Stadium was named in honor of head coach Bobby Bowden. The seven-run margin of victory was the most the No. 7 Gators have scored at FSU Baseball (27-6, 5-1 Atlantic Coast UF .9 Conference) since 1994. FSU 2 The Gators (207, 3-3 -Southeastern Conference) had lost four straight games in Tallahassee. The home team had won the last seven games in the series. Tallahassee native Gavin Dickey felt right at home, going 2 for 4 with 2 RBI. UF coach Pat McMahon had Dickey bat second in the order for the first time this season. "We talked a lot as a staff and I felt like he's seeing the ball well and disciplining himself at the plate," McMahon said. "I also like to alternate our rightand left-handed SEE BASEBALL, PAGE 27 Even the tough avoid By FARZAD SAFI ever comes out of The Pit. Alligator Writer Common sense would say a fsafi@alligator.org player who gets hurt must sit out and rest until they feel better. Players are told it's just plain Coach Urban Meyer could not ugly. They are told to stay out of disagree more. He has complained "The Pit" because nothing good that his team is not tough enough Dallas Baker was one of the lucky Gators not to have to spend tice in "The Pit." Many players expressed their fear of it. 'The Pit' yet. The Pit is designed to fix that. -"It's true that guys would rather practice than spend time in The Pit," Meyer said. "I've seen that for years now. I don't blame them. I'd much rather practice than go through that agony. Reporters, fans and even most players don't know exactly what The Pit is. Every now and then, though, a player can be seen carrying sandbags or chains while running laps. The Pit strikes fear even into the hearts of UF's toughest players. In Wednesday's practice, linebacker Brandon Siler sniffed out a pitch to running back DeShawn Wynn. Siler leveled the running back and sent him flying to the ground. However, after the practice, Siler was a little uneasy when the topic of The Pit came up. "I don't want none of The Pit, man," Siler said. "I try and stay away from there. It seems like you work 15 times as hard. I see guys pushing tires and doing two hours' worth of sit-ups." Sophomore tight end Tate Casey stands at 6-foot-6, but even he would not stand up to The Pit. "[Shoot], there is no question I would rather practice than go in The Pit," Casey said. "But I don't think about it, because I never want to have to go in there." It seems as if Meyer already has players buying into his system. Linebacker Todd McCullough definitely has seen his share of injuries and will enter his fifth year as a Gators player. McCullough has had to deal with the "injury-prone" label and is working extra-hard to have it removed. "No one wants to hear that about -themselves," McCullough said. If someone were to accept that, I :.ould question them as a player SEE PIT, PAGE 27 *NCAA Men's Basketball: South 1 1945: Bill Saap allows 18 hits against q The UF softball team was on a 13-game Carolina vs. St. Joseph's Camp Blanding, a single-game record for winning streak before facing Alabama in a ESPN, 7 p.m. most hits allowed by a UF pitcher.

We can't say the same about those students lining up feverishly to drop that biochemistry or calculus class, can we? While you stand in line wondering what could have been if you had just studied a little more (or simply had gone to class), the Gators are thinking about change. Take running back DeShawn Wynn, for instance. Reviled for injuries and not playing hard enough by former coach Ron Zook, Wynn is garnering the praise of Coach Urban Meyer. And the new football coach has made it clear that Wynn has his Girvan chance to return to the form that had Gregg GirvBa fans excited after his breakout game Throwing Girv Balls at Miami in 2003. ggirvan@smigstor.erg "All the stories you've heard, I've heard them too, and I think they're true," said Meyer of Wynn's work ethic. "He's been really good. I've had zero issues with him." Wynn's just the latest in a group that has received compliments. The running backs were also lauded when Ciatrick Fason broke 1,000 yards last season. A group that was not applauded was the defensive line. The sack production and quarterback pressures dropped from 2003 to 2004. Defensive tackle Ray McDonald said the coaching staff is out to change that. "We're a lot more aggressive this year," he said. "It's going to be a lot more fun. We're going to come after teams. Believe me when I tell you. They are putting in scheme, boy. They've got a scheme." All of this ties into the coaches. They have instilled the scheme, or really a culture, of discipline that will transform this team from a semi-winner to a full winner. Meyer gets the players psyched at every practice, every scrimmage. He breaks players down to pieces in the infamous Pit, where injured players slave away. In fact, it probably gives players like Brandon Siler nightmares. SEE GIRV BALLS, PAGE 27 NBA Toronto Orlando Dalla Boston 96 108 112 100
