Donovan takes job with UF rival Kentucky


Matt Marriott / Alligator Staff
Billy Donovan, knowing that he was going to Kentucky, shakes Matt Walsh's hand goodbye near the
end of UF's season. The other Gators said goodbye, however some may be going with Donovan.


By ANDREW ABRAMSON
Alligator Staff Writer
aabramson@alligator.org

After turning the UF men's bas-
ketball program into a yearly NCAA
Tournament team, Billy Donovan
shocked the college basketball world
early Friday morning by confirming
that he will leave UF to coach rival
Kentucky beginning next season.
Rumors of Kentucky coach Tubby
Smith heading to the NBA have been
rampant for years, and with coaching
vacancies in Los Angeles, New York,
Minneapolis and in other high profile
cities, Smith decided it was the right
time to go pro.
Kentucky athletics director Mitch
Barnhart called on Donovan, a former
Kentucky assistant. Less than an hour
later it was official.
"I'll always cherish my years at
the University of Florida, but this is a
football school," said Donovan in an
exclusive phone interview with the
Alligator. "Kentucky has a chance to
win national titles each and eyery year.
It was a no-brainer."
UF athletics director Jeremy Foley,
attending a Steely Dan concert in
Atlanta, said he was stunned at the
news and left the concert after Donovan
called him around 11 p.m. to tell him he.


was likely headed to Kentucky.
"If [Donovan] wanted to leave the
Gators to coach in the NBA, I'd under-
stand," Foley said. "But to jump ship.
and head to a rival school is inexcus-
able. This is absurd and I'm shocked."

Conspiracy theories
It's been less than three weeks
.since UF stunned Kentucky for the
SEC Tournament championship. After
failing to defeat the Wildcats for four
seasons, Donovan and the Gators
scored two victories against Kentucky
in eight days.
SEC commissioner Mike Slive was
reached just after midnight. He was al-
ready looking into possible allegations
of misconduct.
"When was this really in the
works?" Slive .asked. "I knew some-
thing seemed off when the Gators
managed to defeat Kentucky twice, and
now I'm forced to really look into these
allegations. Did Barnhart and Coach
Smith allow UF to win those games in
order to boost Billy Donovan's resume?
Let's hope, for the sake of the SEC and
college basketball, these are just silly
conspiracy theories."

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

'Dry' fight a mistake


By MIKE GIMIGNANI
Alligator Staff Writer
mgimignani@alligator.org

The recent student-led crusade
against the possibility of a "dry campus"
at UF may have been the result of a mis-
communication, Student Body President-
elect Joe Goldberg said Thursday.
According to Goldberg, an e-mail
document entitled "Dry Campus?
Machen's Mission" was sent to several
Student Government figures. However,
most of the document actually was
taken from a memo written in 1982 that
warned of decreasing water levels in
Lake Alice.
An anonymous prankster allegedly
doctored the memo by replacing the
word ''Marston" (for UF's president
at the time, Robert Q. Marston) with


"Machen," and "Lake Alice" with
"The UF campus," Goldberg told the
Alligator.
"I guess I'm the goat," he said.
"Looking back, it's easy to see how fake
it was, but it looked convincing at the
time."
-Goldberg said he has already apolo-
gized to UF Vice President for Student
Affairs Patricia Telles-Irvin, who chided
the Student Senate on Tuesday for
spreading a false rumor.
Staffers at UF's Department of
Environmental Engineering Sciences,
which, drafted the original memo, con-
firmed Thursday that they could not find
the document, which led officials there
to muse that it may have been stolen.
Professor William McKeen, chair
of UF's journalism department, said,


UF to size out trucks, SUVs


By EVA KIS
Alligator Staff Writer
ekis@alligator.org

The ever-increasing problem of parking on
campus led UF Transportation and Parking
Services to announce it will begin denying
decals to drivers of larger-sized vehicles.
Interim Director Scott Fox said the restric-
tion, which will come into effect this Summer,
affects vehicles with wheelbases wider than
130 inches and longer than 220 inches.
"Vehicles of that size often take up more
than one space," Fox said. "They are also bad
for the environment and take the largest toll
on roads. It's a reasonable, feasible solution."
Fox likened the prohibition, an idea
spurred by complaints about the vehicles


overtaking spaces, to new policies imple-
mented by several major airlines.
"We sell one decal per vehicle, and when
that vehicle takes up more than its share of
a space, our already strained resources are
taxed even further," he said.
The restriction applies to
Student popular vehicles such as the
Life Hummer, Chevrolet Avalanche,
GMC Yukon XL, Lincoln Aviator
and Ford Excursion as well as all Cadillac
models built before 1974.
One such driver affected is Student Body
President-elect Joe Goldberg, who now has to
find an off-campus solution for his ride.
"I just don't know where Andre (Samuels,
Impact Party adviser) will park my limousine
now," Goldberg lamented.

STUDENT LIFE


SG to'buddy up' .


By BRIDGET CAREY
Alligator Staff Writer
bcarey@sg.ufl.edu

Student Body President-elect Joe
Goldberg commended his former
opponent Dennis Ngin for coming up
with a blockbuster plan to engender
diversity at UF.
Goldberg said he plans to valiantly
conquer the question of multicultural-
ism posed by his critics once he takes
the reins next month, involving the
deployment of a "minority buddy
program" in his continuing effort to
improve diversity education.
Goldberg said he has the full back-
ing of UF President Bernie Machen in
supporting legislation encouraging
white students to traverse campus
in the company of at least one mi-
nority, to be managed through the
Multicultural Affairs Cabinet.
Machen could not be reached for
comment Thursday.
Enforcing the new rules will be
the Student Government-funded
Student Nighttime Auxiliary Patrol,
also known as SNAP, which will soon
will replace its fleet of run-down vans
with efficient go-karts.
The SNAP program, which is run
by University Police, usually gives
students the opportunity to request
a ride on campus between 6:30 p.m.
and 2 a.m. any day of the week.
The multicultural move was a


campaign issue for Ngin during this
year's presidential elections and,
although he didn't win, Ngin said
he was glad to be able to finalize an
eternal legacy.
"With these new plans we can help
keep more students safe and have fun
at the same time," he said.
By selling the three 15--passenger
SNAP vans, SG is now able to fund 55
two-seat SNAP go-karts for the same
price, making the buddy system that
much more efficient.

"It's more than a sea of
smiling faces I want to
see out there, it's a'sea of
smiling colors, too."
Joe Goldberg
Student Body president-elect

The best part of all, Ngin added, is
that the new program is flawless.
"We will have more than 50 karts
chauffeuring students of different eth-
nicities throughout campus. I don't
know why we didn't think of this
sooner," he said.
Goldberg said Ngin's idea was to
be both a hallmark and an inspiration
during his upcoming term.
"I really feel that this will make us
a Top 10 university," Goldberg said.
"It's more than a sea of smiling faces I
want to see out there, it's a sea of smil-
ing colors, too."


Commission: no party wrongdoing in SG elections


* PRESIDENT-ELECT GOLDBERG AP-
POINTED AND LED THE GROUP.

By NICK WEIDENMILLER
Alligator Staff Writer
nweidenmiller@sg.ufl.edu

A blue-ribbon commission has found
no evidence of wrongdoing in the recent
Student Government elections, high-ranking
SG officials told the Alligator on Thursday.
Appointed and led by Student Body
President-elect Joe Goldberg, the group
met in a secret, closed session for several
hours this weekend before concluding that


Editor's Note:
The Alligator embarks on its
journey to a brave new world
today, as we welcome back
membership in Student
Government and our old
motto, "For a Better Florida."
See page 3 for more infor-
mation on this momentous
change in our history.


allegations made by members of several
parties involved in the elections were with-
out basis.
"We looked at the facts, and there's noth-
ing there. How anyone could insinuate this
nonsense is totally beyond me," Goldberg
said.
Goldberg added that he didn't see an is-
sue with serving on the same committee that
mostly probed complaints against his party.
"Presidents don't have time to have con-
flicts of interest," he said.
Other SG officials agree, maintaining the
false light shed on Goldberg and The Gator
Party was by far the most pressing issue.


SG-funded Skittles to rain onto Reitz Union Colonnade on Friday
Thanks to the generosity of Student Body President-elect Joe Goldberg, a
real-life torrent of Skittles candies will fall on the Reitz Union at noon today.
Student Government will pay local skydiving outfit AirDrop, Inc.,
$20,000 to rain 160 tons of the fruit-flavored sweets on the campus during
Friday classes.
"This isn't like chocolate alligators or anything," Goldberg said. "But I
want to give people a chance to taste the rainbow."
Calls to the Pride Student Union were not returned.
John Caldewell, AirDrop's president, said "technical questions" still ex-
ist with getting the candies to the ground in one piece.
"They might move pretty fast," he said.


"[The investigation] was a witch hunt.
We are so not like that at all," Student Body
Treasurer-elect Lindsay Cosimi said in a
Thursday interview. "It's a credit to men
like Joe [Goldberg] that they can put up
with these accusations
Student and still have a smile on
Gover nment their face."
The commission de-
cided to publicly chastise former Impact
Party adviser Lowell Wong, whose com-
plaint with University Police led to a wide-
spread investigation of all the 11 parties
registered this Spring.
Wong could not be reached for comment


Voice Party chairman
Christian Duque was sus-
pended today by Student
Government authorities for
refusing to concede last
month's elections. Duque
has vowed to sit in vigil
at the SG offices until his
grievances are heard.

Thursday.
Also, the nine-member board narrowly
defeated a measure to recommend a $5,000
fine against Impact Party presidential can-
didate Dennis Ngin and a $1 fine for vice-
presidential candidate Robert Mack.
Student Senate President Diane Kassim,
the subject of an earlier allegation over her
recent appointment to that position, com-
mended the group Friday for putting a
touch of finality on a controversial issue.
"I can only hope that now the individu-
als who propagate this hatred will receive
their proper punishment," she wrote in an
e-mail.

Mack 'fights for his rights' in
Tallahassee wrestling match
Former Student Body Vice-
Presidential candidate Robert
Mack got his "agenda" taken
care of earlier this week, beat-
ing Florida Rep. Dennis Baxley
for first place in the Florida
Legislature's first annual "Rule
'n' Rassle Invitational" wrestling
competition.
Mack, the only under-25
man invited to the 32-member
elimination tournament, powered
through his opponents without
much resistance. Only Baxley, the
chairman of the House Education
Committee, gave Mack a run for
his money, Mack said.
"Dennis [Baxley]'s got some
fire in him," Mack said. "Every
time I'd move in for the kill,
he'd find a way to slip from my
hands."
Mack won bragging rights
from his competitors mostly
representatives and a $50 gift
certificate to Sonny's Real Pit
BBQ.
But Baxley couldn't resist
talking trash of the Student
Government lobby coordinator.
"This is just the first match. I'll
be back, and then we'll do things
Ocala style," Baxley said.

Asked why the event wasn't

"Fifty-nine dollars, that's like

maybe we will just go to Italy

Gomberg said.

SG presidents discuss bill with Governor


By NEIL HUGHES
Alligator Writer
nhughes@alligator.org

The current and future Student
Body president met with Gov. Jeb
Bush on Thursday to talk about is-
sues facing UF students.
Student Body President Jamal
Sowell and President-elect Joe
Goldberg spoke, with Bush in his
Tallahassee office for 30 minutes.


Although Sowell endorsed
Goldberg's competitor, Student
Body Treasurer Dennis Ngin, in the
SG elections, Sowell and Goldberg
said they agreed on the issues pre-
sented to Bush.
"It's not about me, and it's not
about Joe," Sowell said. "It's about
the student body. And now the gov-
ernor knows who to talk to."
One of the main issues discussed,
Goldberg said, was the "excess


credit hour proposal" that is cur-
rently under con-
sideration in the
Florida Senate.
The proposal
-5", would charge
S students more
money for cred-
its if they take
Sowell 15 percent more
than the tradi-
tional 120 required to graduate in


most degree programs, Goldberg
said.
"You'd be charged almost double
the price it would normally cost
[for those credits]," he said. "It's
their goal to try to get students out
faster."
"We're proposing to fix the
language in the bill," Goldberg
added. "We want to change it to 20
percent."
Goldberg said he is working with


UF's own lobbyists in Tallahassee
and said he is optimistic that prog-
ress will be made.
"I think the issues can be worked
out," he said. "That's why we have
two incredible lobbyists that I'll be
looking to re-hire. I think they've
been extremely effective for us."
Sowell said he is not overly con-
cerned with the excess credit hour

UF must define degrees


* THE FLORIDA BOARD OF GOVERNORS
REQUIRED THE EXPLANATIONS.

By STEPHANIE GARRY
Alligator Staff Writer
smgarry@alligator.org

UF students who don't yet understand
the purpose of their major may get a clue
from the school this December.
That's the deadline for UF administrators
to define what knowledge and skills stu-
dents in more than 100 majors should have
by graduation and how that achievement
can be measured.
"This is a large administrative and faculty
task that needs to be done," Interim Provost
Joe Glover told the Board of Trustees, the
university's highest governing body, last
week.
The idea, mandated by the State
University System's highest authority, is
that students will have a university's prom-
ise-to learn content and critical thinking and
communication skills if they successfully
complete a certain degree.
But UF officials, faculty and students have
feared the Academic Learning Compacts
will translate into another test for graduat-
ing seniors.
"The hope is that the academic learning
compacts will foster program improvement
so that as we evaluate how students perform
on Academic Learning Compacts it will pro-
vide us feedback," Glover said.
Though UF still doesn't know if testing
will be required, it's taking a proactive ap-
proach toward the assignment in hopes that
it won't turn into a bureaucratic mess, said
Jack Mecholsky, chairman of the Faculty
Senate council who is working on the man-
date with the provost's office.
"I don't encourage individual assess-


ment," he said, adding that graduating from
a good program should be proof enough of
their learning achievement. "The way we do
it now is based on the program."
After the university sets the learning out-
comes and measures, it will go to the Board
of Trustees for approval in December and
then to the Board of Governors, the author-
ity over the State University System.
As one measure of accountability, the
compacts may be tied to UF's legislative
funding, though that relationship is still un-
clear, Glover said.
"This is a large administrative and
faculty task that needs to be done."
Joe Glover
interim provost

UF already has a variety of measures
in place to ensure the quality of their pro-
grams, including accreditation processes
that are more stringent than the compacts,
Mecholsky said.
With tracking, required courses and cur-
riculums for each major, the university is
hoping these standards will show account-
ability is inherent in the process and preempt
any need for testing or additional measures,
Mecholsky said. Otherwise, the compacts
may be a duplication, he said.
Pierre Ramond, chairman of the Faculty
Senate, wrote in a statement that the faculty
is the keeper of academic programs, stan-
dards and -quality and that the Board-man-
dated compacts should not infringe-on that
right. He agreed that many accountability
measures are already in place.
"Students are being over-tested as it is,"
Ramond said. "The proof of our success re-
ally is that people still want to come to the
University of Florida."

UF ADMINISTRATION

Grant could help recruit minority grad students


By EMILY YEHLE
Alligator Writer
eyehle@alligator.org

UF officials are hoping a $6.9 million grant
will help increase the diversity of graduate
students, strengthening UF's position among
top research universities.
The National Science Foundation awarded
UF with money to expand an existing univer-
sity coalition that aims to encourage minority
undergraduates to enter graduate programs in
science, engineering and mathematics.
UF, Clemson University and the University
of South Carolina will lead the Southeast
Alliances for Graduate Education and the
Professoriate because of the variety of their


Ph.D programs, while more than 20 universi-
ties in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina will
provide students for those Ph.D programs.
The first step is hosting visits to campus,
said Anne Donnelly, the program's director.
"We have existing graduate students meet
with and serve as local hosts so they have a
chance to talk to students," she said. "They are
very powerful role models."
Workshops, fellowships and international
research opportunities follow for students
who attend UF and join the program.
The expansion will allow UF to find minor-
ity students relatively close, Donnelly said.
"It makes more sense to recruit students
in the region than to go across the country,"
she said.


Furthermore, the coalition includes a
partnership with the University of the Virgin
Islands and a group that provides research
opportunities in 30 Latin
American countries, she
said.
The grant comes in
the wake of UF President
Bernie Machen's goal to
become a Top 10 public
research university.
Machen But the universities UF
emulates are more diverse.
"Machen has said he wants [UF] to be a
world class institution," she said. "You can't
be a world class institution if you don't repre-
sent the world, and diversity is part of that."


The program's ultimate goal is to increase
faculty diversity by recruiting and supporting
minority students who have academic aspi-
rations, Donnelly said. UF also contributes
money for additional post-doctoral positions
for minorities, she said.
Between Fall 1999 and 2004, UF partici-
pated in a smaller program with FAMU and
worked with the Florida-Georgia Louis Stokes
Alliance for Minority Participation to bring
more minority students to UF.
During those five years, minority enroll-
ment in hard sciences, engineering and biolog-
ical sciences increased 44 percent, 51 percent
and 58 percent, respectively. In that same time,
engineering Ph.D recipients almost tripled, ac-
cording to a report on the program.


Judge sentences Hudson to 30 years in murder case


* HUDSON'S CONVICTION
CAME ON HIS THIRD TRIAL.

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

A county judge sentenced Willie
James Hudson to 30 years in prison
Thursday, in connection with the
July 2003 shooting deaths of two
Gainesville men.
On March 18, after 14 hours of
deliberation over two days, a jury
found Hudson, 30, guilty of two
counts of manslaughter.
Wearing shackles and an orange


jumpsuit, Hudson faced both Judge
Mary Day Coker's decision regard-,
ing a third charge possession of a
firearm by a convicted felon and
ultimately, his sentence for all three
charges at Thursday's hearing.
As state law prohibits a jury from
having knowledge of a defendant's
previous criminal history, Coker
was responsible for determining a
verdict on the firearm charge.
After considering the circum-
stances surrounding the weapon,
Coker found Hudson guilty and
sentenced him to 15 years for each of
the three crimes.
Two of those sentences one for
manslaughter, the other for the fire-


arm will be served concurrently.
Prior to Coker's decision, fam-
ily members of both victims made
statements, expressing a desire for a
harsh sentence.
"This cannot be repaired -Kevin
cannot be replaced," said Eyvette
Harris, sister of victim Kevin Harris.
"My children are without an uncle.
My nephew is without a father...
not a Paxil, not a Zoloft can help with
what I'm going through."
However, after two mistrials, the
punishments brought a sense of clo-
sure to both sides of the bench.
"In light of all the circumstances,
the state is satisfied that at least
some degree of justice was done,


and it respects both the verdict of the
jury and the sentence of the court,"
prosecutor Geoffrey Fleck said.
On July 2, 2003, Harris, 29,
climbed into Hudson's car alleg-
:4 edly intending to
buy cocaine from
Local John .Adkins, 28.
CourtS According to pros-.
ecutors, Hudson
was waiting in the
backseat of the car, planning to rob
Harris of approximately $8,000.
When Harris fought back, Hudson
shot him three times. Adkins, the
driver, was killed when he was
struck in the head by a stray bullet.
Soon after, the car crashed into the


front porch of City Commissioner
Craig Lowe's home.
Through all three trials, defense
attorney Stephen Bernstein main-
tained Hudson was in Orlando with
his wife at the time of the shootings.
Following the'verdict, Bernstein
said he believed the decision was a
"compromise" and called some evi-
dence circumstantial and confusing.
"I think this sentence has all the
problems it does because of the
jury's compromise, and nobody
knows what to do with the case,"
Bernstein said. "If you treat it as
murder, you're wrong because the
jury said it wasn't murder, and no
one asked for manslaughter."

Muslims talk news


By JOHN COX
Alligator Contributing Writer

"Kill their leaders and con-
vert them to Christianity."
If the "their" in columnist
Ann Coulter's statement re-
ferred to Jews and not Muslims,
would it run in a newspaper?
Ahmed Bedier said he
doesn't think so.
"Islam and Muslims are in
the headlines every day and
mostly in a negative light," said
Bedier, Central Florida director
for the Council on American-
Islamic Relations.
Americans are often con-
fused about Islam, and the me-
dia doesn't help, Bedier said.
Bedier spoke to nine people
in the Florida Gym Thursday
night about how journalists
should cover Islam. UF's Islam
on Campus sponsored the
event.
Bedier said the media has
created dangerous stereotypes
about Muslims since Sept. 11,
2001.


"Those stereotypes eventually
develop into hatred," he said.
A 2004 CAIR report showed
a 70 percent increase in anti-
Muslim incidents, Bedier said.
UF psychology sophomore
Hassan Loutfi said he thought
Bedier was right about how me-
dia outlets cover Islam.
"A lot of the audience is not
Muslim, and they know that,"
said Loutfi, who is Muslim.
Bedier said
On journalists should
S"'- ''-do more to cover
Muslim holidays
and local events.
A lack of Muslim influence in
the media also has affected pub-
lic perception, he said. CAIR
encourages Muslims in univer-
sities to go into journalism.
"It's important to just not
have a bunch of white people on
staff," Bedier said.
Bedier also said Muslims of-
ten do not trust the media.
"Many people just think
all the media is controlled by
Jews," he said.

Commissioner makes homeless crusade into summit


By BRIAN HAGEN
Alligator Writer
bhagen@alligator.org

Alachua County Commissioner Rodney
Long turned his two days' experience liv-
ing as a homeless person in northeast
Gainesville last week into a commission to
resolve the problem in 10 years Thursday.
Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan, Long and
other community leaders and luminaries
met for The Homelessness Summit, held at
the Martin Luther King Jr. Activity Center.
The forum brought together politicians,
business and property owners and com-
munity activists who will focus on pro-
viding more services, sustainable housing
and mental and substance-abuse care, as
well as improving law enforcement, jail


and institutional care.
"This is a real problem, and it's not go-
ing away," Long said. "It's up to us. What
are you going to do to help?"
Featured speakers included leaders
from Jacksonville and Tallahassee who
shared their own cities' difficulties in
fighting homelessness.
Tallahassee Mayor John Marks em-
phasized the need to provide affordable
housing.
Doing nothing can cost more than fight-
ing the problem, said Wanda Lanier, ex-
ecutive director of the Emergency Services
and Homeless Coalition of Jacksonville
Inc.
To calculate the cost, the coalition
tracked the service needs of individual


"We could have built John a house
for what we spent on him in a
year."
Wanda Lanier
executive director of the Emergency Ser-
vices and Homeless Coalition of Jackson-
ville Inc.

homeless people, such as John, a bipolar
homeless man. In seven months, John's
trips to the emergency room, detoxifica-
tion programs and lodging at shelters cost
Jacksonville $40,000.
"We could have built John a house for
what we spent on him in a year," she said.
When guests were slow to join the-commit-
tee, Long approached them with a grin and a


booming voice, volunteering them himself.
Hanrahan received a sizeable check
for $946,379 from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development to help
the city in its efforts.
Also among summit attendees were
city commissioners Rick Bryant and
Craig Lowe, Alachua County Sheriff
Steve Oelrich and homeless people Long
befriended while living on the streets of
Gainesville last week.
Attendees also offered insight into op-
tions to make the program effective. "We
need to incorporate the people who've
been through these programs," said
Hawthorne Mayor John Martin. "There is
a connection between someone who's been
down the same road you've been down." -

Editorial
We're going to try something new today: an all-Laurel edi-
tion of Darts & Laurels.
While we've earned a reputation this semester for being
particularly negative and deservedly so we're not really
all as cynical as some think. We enjoy a walk on the beach, a
particularly vibrant sunset and the sound of a baby's laugh as
much as any boring poet. That's why we're so happy that a lot
of heartwarming stuff has been happening lately.
We're usually relegated to taking out the trash, as it were, but
today we are only going to discuss things that truly exemplify
everything that is right in the world today.
Heck, maybe we'll even like it. This could be the start of a
new, infinitely more rosy future. -1
So, braid some flowers into your hair, give the person next
to you a big hug and then realize how naive you are for actually
believing anything we just said on April Fools' Day as we laugh
merrily at you into this week's Laurel-free edition of...



Darts & Laurels

We kick things off by bestowing our coveted dumbest-
phrase-ever-uttered-and-then-printed-in-our-pages-this-year
DART to Rep. Dennis Baxley-for saying that he opposes any
form of benefits for partners of gay or lesbian couples because
he believes that homosexuals are too promiscuous.
While his ludicrously discriminatory statements on this
issue are too numerous to list, a particular" favorite of the
Department of Darts & Laurels was, "Some of these people
have 300 partners in their lifetime and, by and large, these are
not monogamous relationships."
We'd love to see the research that led him to that statistic.
Baxley: "How many guys have you, uh, you know, 'done?"'
Happily monogamous gay man: "Actually, I'm still with my
high-school sweetheart."
Baxley to himself: "So, he says 'one.' But once I invoke the
Multiply-by-300 Rule of homosexual promiscuity..."
Yeah, we know that's not fair. He never would have gone out
and actually talked to "a gay" himself.
Because we know that "when it April showers, it pours," we
toss a bring-back-the-ballots-we've-got-a-new-contehder-for-
dumbest-quote-ever-printed DART to Scott Fox, interim direc-
tor of UF's Transportation and Parking Services, for insisting
-despite the staggering mountain of evidence to the contrary
- that ,"We know there is enough red parking."
This statement was in flagrant denial of the fact that 1,653
Red 1 decals were sold for only 800 parking spaces and 3,558
Red 3 decals we sold for 3,101 All Red or All Decal spaces.
By what twisted form of logic is this "enough red park-
ing?" When students are turned away from parking lots daily
because there are no available spots -- because there are many
more decals sold than there are spaces how can you even
begin to argue that there are "enough?"
But give him the benefit of the doubt: Maybe he was just re-
ally confused from all of the asphalt fumes, and so. he decided
to celebrate April Fools' Day a bit early.
Finally, because we're always looking out for evidence that
the government decided "1984" had some pretty good ideas,
we give a don't-you-guys-know-that-it's-a-really-bad-idea-to-
try-to-separate-a-fat-kid-and-his-cake DART to Oregon's state
legislature for considering legislation that would ban candy,
soda and other junk food from being sold in public schools.
Don't these legislators remember back when they were a
child? Where would we all be today if we hadn't had "snack
time" during our most impressionable years? It's not the same
if the "snacks" are green vegetables, rice cakes and V8.
In other news, the Oregon legislators also have proposed a
blanket ban on all pencils in a last-ditch effort to stem the tide of
lead-poisoning deaths caused when school children get desper-
ate after they run out of paste to eat.
Just kidding. We may be willing to go pretty far on April
Fools' Day, but the reality of our kids sucking back No.2's like
coke is no laughing matter.
Now we can't even tell when we're kidding anymore.

Don't like comics? You will after this


Hot damn, I'm excited. I've been talking about it
all week. To tell you the truth, I haven't shut the
hell up once. "Sin City" is out-today, and I could
not be happier. I'm probably in cinematic ecstasy right
now as you're reading this sentence, and I feel confident
saying that because I plan to see the movie eight or nine,
times this weekend.
For those of you who don't know, "Sin City" is perhaps
the most ambitious, innovative and talent laden-film re-
leased this year. Without even seeing it, I'm declaring it
one of the best. That's because "Sin City" is comics done
right. All of us have seen "Daredevil," or "Catwoman,"
or "Elektra," and one of the reasons those movies sucked
is because they deviated so much from the source mate-
rial. Not-this time.
Frank Miller, the writer, illustrator and creator of the
"Sin City" comics not only wrote the screenplay, but he
has been brought on as a director as well. Let me put this
in perspective. If there were a Holy Trinity of modem
comic. book writers, that Big Three would include Alan
Moore, Neil Gaiman and Frank Miller. Miller's work on
Batman ("Batman: Year One," "Batman: The Dark Knight
Returns") is what turned him into the gritty- character
you think of today (rather than the campy Adam West
version), and Miller took that edge to another level en-
tirely when he created "Sin.City." "Sin City" is a dark,
'violent place, and Miller highlighted this by almost ex-
clusively using black and white in the books.
Robert Rodriguez, the film's co-director, convinced
Miller to sign on to the project so he could recreate
Miller's style on film. If you've seen the black-and-white"
commercials they've been airing recently, you know
what I'm talking about. If not, try to understand that
this movie looks radically different than anything you've
seen before. Miller's artistry is so unique and so astonish-
ing that, if the movie looks half as good as the printed


version, this will be an incredible
Sfilmn.
That's why "Sin City" has
drawn more top-level talent than
any movie I can ever remember.
One of the greatest comic book
Andrew Meyer stories ever (and now one of my
Uncommon Sense favorites) is being brought to the
letters@alligator.org silver screen, and Bruce Willis,
Jessica Alba, Clive Owen, Benicio
Del Toro, Michael Clark Duncan,
Elijah Wood, Rosario Dawson, Michael Madsen, Josh
Hartnett, Mickey Rourke (an inspired casting choice as
the film's antihero Marv), Jaime King, Brittany Murphy,
Nick Stahl and Devon Aoki all wanted in on it. Oh, and
-I forgot to mention -that Quentin Tarantino guest directs
for part of the film. Can you see why I'm excited?
When I saw that staggering orgy of talent signed up
for this -film, it was all I could do to stop myself from
hyperventilating. I had read Miller's work on Batman,
but didn't get around to "Sin City" until last week (yes,
that was me sitting in the bookstore for days on end). I
can't stress enough how amazing these books are. The
struggles of the twisted antiheroes of "Sin City" are
fleshed out so realistically that it's like nothing you've
ever read before..
Comic books are without question the most unherald-
ed medium in literature, long and unfairly regarded by
many as mere "kid's stuff." Even today, there is a stigma
,associated with reading comics, despite the high quality
many of them possess. So when I say that "Sin City" is
easily one of the five greatest comic books ever, it might
not mean much to you. After seeing this movie, believe
me, it %\ ill

Letters to the Editor
Some people are too quick to cry 'racist'
Editor. Somehow, Dan Raben came to the
conclusion that Andy Marlette's cartoon on.
Johnnie Cochran was racist. I think it's pathet-
ic that, every time a black person is attacked,
there are people who assume there are racist
motives at play. I'm sure the vast majority of
those who read his letter replied, "Huh?"
I also would like to see Raben's evidence
that a large number of UF students are racists.
The racism charge just sounds like a bunch of
poppycock from a whining lunatic. Raben, I
suggest you make a better effort to get the wad
out of your panties and go have a drink.
It's just a stupid cartoon.

Legislator's attempts would stop growth
Editor: Representative Dennis Baxley has
been more than wrong these past few weeks:
He's been irresponsible. In a state in which the
educational system has been under scrutiny as
lazy, static and unproductive, he is taking very
drastic measures to ensure that the slow mo-
mentum UF and other colleges are building
in the direction of growth is halted. Professors
across the state are feeling more unwelcome
by the appropriately misnamed Academic
Freedom Bill, which hopes to ensure that


progress in literature, art, political and social
theory and the sciences will be stifled by fears
that students who believe the Sun does not re-
volve around the Earth or that the Holocaust
never happened can sue for the right to have
their ideas go unchallenged by real experts.
Threatening a school that is trying to allow
domestic partner benefits ensures that a sizable
demographic of capable and much-needed
instructors will take their abilities elsewhere.
Perhaps, when all of the professors at UF have
left, he can be the one to come and teach us
about the future with his 30-year-outdated
bachelor's degrees from FSU and his academic
experience as a Rotary Club president.

Editor: Will Youmans, a Palestinian-
American rapper, said he was not on cam-
pus "to convert anyone over to my side or
view," and added "violence against civilians
is wrong" (from Thursday's Alligator). He
then led the audience in singing a song with
a chorus that went, "They exiled us and 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."
Yeah, yeah. This is the sort of message that


leads Palestinian youths to kill Israeli civilians
--hundreds of whom have been murdered
in suicide bombings during the Intifada as a
result of similar themes in Arab society.
In 1947-49, 2,000 Jewish civilians (not
soldiers) were killed because the Palestinians
and five surrounding Arab countries rejected
the U.N. resolution establishing a Jewish
state and an Arab state in Palestine. Between
1949 and 1955, 700,000 Jews who had lived
in those same Arab countries for centuries
were hounded out of their homes and found
refuge in Israel. Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan
and Egypt are now "judenrein," (free of Jews)
in one of the most absolute instances of apart-
heid in the 20th century, while 20 percent of
the Jewish state is composed of Arab Israelis.
That is my side or view.

Communications



Editorial is misleading, wrongly personal
Editor: I feel it is necessary to clarify your
concerns regarding The Gainesville Sun's re-
lationship with UF to reassure students their
money and time is being taken into account.
Firsf, UF and the Sun are in talks. There has
not been any official commitment made by ei-
ther side to pursue this program. The $16,000'


FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 7


is an estimation. This program is one of many
ideas being considered to broaden the outlets
for news on campus and allow journalism stu-
dents to access more outlets for publishing.
Second, I never made my involvement-
personal. I am friends with many of your em-
ployees. Emily Yehle, the author of Tuesday's
article, was told she could call me day or night
to address any issues or concerns. I gave her
every shred of information I had concerning
the program and even took extra steps to be
clear on the program's potential details.
Furthermore, I take full responsibility for
the mistake I made last semester. I never have
denied the situation; however, it was, in fact,
a mistake. I know you are familiar with such
mistakes. Just this week, you cut off the end
of an article and misspelled two headlines.
Surely, the students are not calling for your
head. The fact is, I was and am sorry for what
happened, but I maintain that I learned from
the experience and am ready to move on.
I am hurt that you stooped to the personal
level to scare off students who wish to make
this university better. You have a responsibility
to expose the truth, but you have shown this
semester that exploiting peoples' weaknesses
is more entertaining than real, hard news.
I hope this is not a regular occurrence. We
all make mistakes, but publishing them when
details are not necessary is unprofessional.

Students reflect on beauty


"Copyrighted Material
Syndicated Content
Available from Commercial News Providers"


By KYLIE CRAIG
Alligator Writer
kcraig@alligator.org
UF students described beauty in their
own words at Thursday's "Beyond Body
Acceptance: Redefining Beauty and Your
Relationship with Food" event.
The Panhellenic Council and the Student
Health Care Center hosted the event. It aimed
to challenge students' current ideas about
beauty and body image and educate them on
intuitive eating and eating disorders, accord-
ing to a release.
Amy Kennedy, Panhellenic director of
women's wellness, said she wanted the event
to help women realize the importance of ad-
dressing issues with body image.
"We feel that by facing this subject, more
women will seek resources to confront this is-
sue and will feel better about themselves over
time," she said.
Students attending the event were given
fliers on healthy eating, eating disorder fact
sheets, SHCC cookbooks and the opportunity
to receive a free massage from the SHCC be-


tween classes.
They were also able to write down their
own definitions of beauty to be put on a
poster.
It's important for people to have a healthy
view of what beauty is, in part because of the
pressure the media puts on people, Kennedy
said.
"On TV and in movies you'll see how
we're supposed to look and supposed to act,
and the typical woman in college
r ek isn't like that," she said.
UF senior Amber Whatley,
27, said she stopped by the tent
event because she thinks body image is a
problem for the entire society, not just col-
lege students.
"Image is far too highly stressed," Whatley
said. "I think women are made to feel they
have to have a totally unrealistic image."
Nutritionists and counselors were also on
site to answer questions about body accep-
tance and eating disorders.
"As college women, we should realize
.we're all different and that's the best part
about it," Kennedy said.

TALLAHASSEE

House debates use of deadly force


By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM
Alligator Staff Writer
jvanl@alligator.org

TALLAHASSEE A bill that grants.
Floridians who shoot intruders in their
homes immunity from criminal or civil liabil-
ity moved forward in the Florida House on
Thursday, after an hour of debate that at times
seemed downright raucous.
House Bill 249, a version similar to another
bill that passed the Florida Senate unanimous-
ly March 23, says that even in public places,
Floridians would not have a duty to retreat
before using deadly force against assailants.
That would depart drastically from cur-
rent state law, which requires that if a persons
are attacked outside their home or office and
fears for their life, they must first attempt to
flee if possible.
Willie Meggs, a state attorney in Tallahassee
and head of the Florida Prosecuting Attorneys
Association, said the new law is unnecessary
and potentially dangerous.
"I think we're trying to solve a problem
that doesn't exist, and in doing so may create
a problem that we don't need," Meggs said,
adding that many future murder defendants
could easily claim they acted in self-defense.
"Those are definite concerns," he said. "I'm
aware of situations where there have been al-
tercations where deadly force was used ahd the
person did not retreat. ... While the common-
law doctrine that a man's home is his castle has
long dictated that people don't have to retreat
from their own homes, the new bill extends the
idea to public parks and city streets.
"If that's what the law says, I don't think
that's real good," Meggs said.
The "deadly force" bill was sponsored in


the House by Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala,
who chairs the House Education Council.
"I'm the strongest advocate for freedom
in this House," Baxley said during the debate.
"I don't carry a gun, but I want criminals to
know that behind every door they break into
may be a citizen with a firearm."
Rep. Dan Gelber, D-Miami Beach, spon-
sored an amendment that would have al-
lowed state attorneys to prosecute in such
situations if they believed the killing was
premeditated murder.
"If we pass this law, killers who could

be prosecuted. Do you un-
derstand that?" he nearly
shouted during debate on
the legislation.
"People would be au-
thorized to kill or murder
under this bill."
Gelber House Republicans
shouted down Gelber's
amendment in a voice vote.
Also in debate, House Democrats took aim
at Baxley and his bill.
Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Dania Beach, asked
whether he could shoot someone at a bar if he
was drinking and another man came at him.
"Maybe," Baxley said. "If someone moves
at you, you don't have very long to decide
whether to meet the threat with deadly force,
or whether you'll turn and run and be shot in
the back."
"So you're saying if someone jumps at you
and you think that person might hurt you,
you can shoot them dead without them even
touching you, and couldn't be prosecuted for
that? Nice," Ryan responded.
Rep. Susan Bucher, D-West Palm Beach,


asked whether Baxley could shoot another
House member in a committee meeting if
they were arguing and the other member
stepped toward him in anger.
"If you have reasonable fear of death or
great bodily harm, you have a right to defend
yourself," Baxley replied. "But I didn't think
you could bring a firearm into the Capitol
building anyway."
Rep. Ken Gottlieb, D-Miramar, asked if he
could be held liable if he was outside, thought
another person was coming at him, shot,
missed, and killed a child bystander.
"Sometimes accidents may occur," Baxley
said. "But think of how many people would
have been hurt if you didn't act."
Rep. Ari Porth, D-Coral Springs, pressed
home.
"The purpose of this bill is to ensure that
you can meet force with force," Baxley said,
answering one of Porth's questions.
"What if you're in the grocery line in the
express lane and you have way more than 15
items: The person behind you gets mad and
pushes you out of the way. Can you pop a
cap in them, calmly purchase your groceries
and then call for a cleanup at checkout three?"
Porth then asked.
"If you're pushed, you can -push back,"
Baxley said.
Rep. Arthenia Joyner, D-Tampa, spon-
sored one last amendment that still would
have required Floridians to walk away from
conflicts before they started shooting. "For the
past month, we've heard a lot about how this
chamber is supposed to embrace a culture of
life," she said, insinuating hypocrisy behind
political outcry over the Terri Schiavo case.
Joyner's amendment failed 85 to 30. The bill
is expected to pass the full House next week.


Credit hour

bill discussed

SOWELL, from page 3

bill, nor the bill that would allow
students to sue their teachers for
a partisan bias, noting Gov. Bush
said that he believed neither bill
would pass in their current form.
Goldberg and Sowell were able
to ask the governor about seven
to eight questions in. the meeting,
Sowell said.
"I brought a question box in the
[UF Student] Senate," he said. "I
had all the senators put questions
in the box on Tuesday, so I got a
wide range of questions."
Sowell said he felt he had a
good relationship with the gover-
nor, and it was best for the student
body to allow that same relation-
ship for his successor.
"I could call up Jeb if I needed
any issues addressed," Sowell
said.
Goldberg said he appreciated
the invitation from Sowell and
the opportunity to speak with the
governor.
"Jamal and I were on the same
page on everything that was dis-
cussed," Goldberg said, adding
that he felt it was "very profes-
sional" of Sowell to invite him.

Gators look to continue eight-game winning streak


When- the Gators hit the court
this afternoon, they'll be in pursuit
of something they've been unable

The No. 9 UF men's tennis team,
currently on an 8-0 winning streak,
is on a confidence high and play-
ing a stronger game, one that could
edge No. 8 Georgia today.
"We have good match-ups
against these guys; we just need
to put four matches together, and
we definitely can," junior Jordan
Dolberg said. "The confidence is
back. I can see it in the team, and it is

One of Georgia's (13-3, 5-1

strengths comes in doubles play,

Coach Andy Jackson said that
while Georgia's doubles are tal-
ented, he is confident in Hamid
Mirzadeh and Greg Ouellette on
court one, along with UF's other
two doubles teams. Jackson added

seen the team co-ie together to get

"Zerene is an unbelievable lead-


er," Balogh said. "She leads more by

ral for her to be as vocal.
So, we pulled her aside and said
we need you to get in there more,

"She has a lot of c \pie-rii-nc-, being

She's one of our best doubles

another tough weekend ahead.

UF knows slacking off won't help defeat Kentucky

Tim Casey / Alligator
Jeff Corsaletti and the Gators look to make it four in a row
when they host Kentucky this weekend.


By TIM CASEY
Alligator Writer
tcasey@alligator.org

Fresh off of a convincing victory
over in-state rival Florida State, the UF
baseball team won't have any time to
savor its success.
The players went right back to
work Thursday as if they hadn't
played the night before.
Freshman Jared Kubin persevered
through practice, then lingered for
more batting practice after his team-
mates left. Fellow freshman Brian
Augenstein tossed a bullpen session
with Coach Pat McMahon.
It should be safe to say that
the Gators-(20-7, 3-3 Southeastern
Conference) aren't about to suffer a
post-rival letdown, when Kentucky
(14-9, 0-5 SEC) visits this weekend.
"I think you'll see an offen-
sive mirror in a lot of neat ways,"
McMahon said. "The challenges f6r
the weekend for us are obviously
how well we accept the challenges
to defend against the short game,
to defend against the running, and
see how good of a job we can do in
controlling that part of the running
game, so that it doesn't result in big--
run innings."
. The mirror he speaks of is his own
creation. Kentucky is coached by
John Cohen, a former hitting coach
under McMahon during the 2002
and 2003 seasons. Cohen played for
Mississippi State from 1987-89 while
McMahon was an assistant coach for
the Bulldogs.
"John is one of the outstanding
young coaches in the country today,"
McMahon said. "We have a very close
association. One, as a former player,
then as a working associate as a coach
here at the University -of Florida,
where he did an outstanding job for


us, and as a friend. Those are things
that are very special to me."
Cohen knows what to expect from
McMahon, but sometimes that isn't
enough.
"I think you'll see an offensive mir-
ror in a lot of neat ways:"
Pat McMahon
UF baseball coach

"I have a pretty good understand-
ing of what Pat's trying to do," Cohen
said. "But, the thing about baseball
that's different than a lot of other
sports is there isn't' any specific of-
fensive tendency you can look at. It's
not like in football where you can
look at game film and see that the
other team is running the wishbone or
something."
Cohen definitely won't have prob-
lems identifying UF's players, though.
"The other thing that is really kind
of neat for me is I recruited several
guys here that are out there playing
now," Cohen said. "I saw them
in high school and I've seen them
progress. Adam Davis, Justin Tordi,
Matt LaPorta most of those hitters.
Brandon McArthur I was in his
home when he committed to UF. Brian
Leclerc I recruited him too. It was fun
to be with those guys. Great parents,
great kids, it was a good group."
Cohen attributes much of his suc-
cess as a player and as a coach to his
relationship.with McMahon.
"I've known Pat since I was 19
years old," Cohen said. "He's been
like a brother to me. I think Pat bring-
ing me to Florida and giving me an
opportunity to come here has really
helped.me in my coaching career. I've
learned so much from Pat. The way
Pat treats people, and the way he han-
dles young men, is just inspirational. I


think Florida is very, very fortunate to
have him."
McMahon predicts future success
for Cohen -just not this weekend.
"He's going to do an outstanding
job at the University of Kentucky,"
McMahon said. "They've made a tre-
mendous commitment in every way
to the program."
Kentucky has won just one of the
last 17 meetings between the two
teams. This season, the Wildcats are
winless in four road games, while the
Gators are 18-5 at home.
Billy Grace, Kentucky's leading
hitter, knows his team faces a difficult
challenge this weekend.
"We're coming off of a couple-
game win streak," Grace said. "We're
looking forward to trying to really get
after it this weekend and try to com-
pete."
Grace may be sidelined with a wrist
injury suffered from sliding. Brian
Hastings, Kentucky's other standout
hitter, has a similar injury that will
require surgery today, Cohen said.
Kentucky has won two consecu-
tive games, including a 12-11 slugfest
against Louisville on Wednesday.
"The Kentucky-Louisville thing,
it's a lot like the UF-Florida State ri-
valry," Cohen said. "The-highlight in
Kentucky is the basketball part the
highlight here is the football part, but
they get into it in all sports. It's neat to
have those rivalry games."
The Wildcats will start freshman
pitchers on Friday and Saturday.
-Right-hander Scott Green (1-1,4.15)
gets the nod Friday against UF's Bryan
Ball (5-1, 1.70). Saturday features lefty
Andrew Albers (3-1, 2.88) against UF's
Tommy Boss (4-1,3.93).
On Sunday, Kentucky will send
junior Kalen Gibson (4-1, 3.10) to the
mound against Gators' starter Alan
Home (1-2, 5.67). -


Halfway through spring, Meyer's Gators are a totally different team


After whizzing past the halfway point
of its 2005 spring practice schedule,
the UF football team is already
noticeably different the players practice
differently, they carry themselves differ-
ently, they even talk differently under the
new regime.
Coach Urban Meyer's arrival has
brought legions of Gators fans to each and
every practice. His laid-back nature allows
for fans and media alike to sit and relax
while watching him groom his team. Then
again, his intense persona on the practice
field sometimes leaves parents searching
for earmuffs for their children.


Last spring, Ron Zook pushed the idea
of an up-tempo approach and intense prac-
tices. Camp Meyer would run laps around
Camp Zook.
Zook avoided singling out individual
players at all costs. Meyer holds each play-
er accountable for his own actions, and he
has no problem expressing his' displeasure
through the media. Zook expected steady
improvement. Meyer demands immediate
results.
But enough about the differences. It's
not really fair to compare a three-time na-
tional coach of the year with, well, a glori-
fied assistant coach.


.. ; Meyer has said that
his offense is not com-
plicated. It only -con-
", tains about 10-15 core
plays, and its success
is based mostly on
Brian Shaffer variety in pre-snap
Shaf At Home formation and move-
bshaffer@alligator.org ment. All of the plays
are in, and now it's
time to work on the precision.
The new coaching staff is constantly
conducting personnel evaluations, trying
to decipher the hand it has to play. This
scrimmage is another audition for those


looking for playing time. .
Forget about the offense you saw a week
ago, because you're going to get a lot more.
Expect crisper execution, sharper overall
play and increased intensity.
The offense that takes the field on
Saturday will be better than it was last
week. And the one that suits up for the
Orange and Blue game will be better than
this week's.
. Meyer is not impressed by. steady im-
provement or encouraged by correctable
mistakes. His goal is to take a 7-5 team and
mold them into a national champion,; one
practice at a time.

MEN'S AND WOMEN'S SWIMMING AND DIVING


Troy: swimmers must focus on their key events


By BRIAN STEELE
Alligator Writer

Everyone's on their own now.
Just like a fledgling being
pushed out of -its nest, the UF
swim teams have only them-
selves to worry about. After
battling through an entire season
based on team competitions, sev-
eral UF swimmers will head to
the World Championships start-
ing today and running through
April 7 in Indianapolis.
It won't matter how the Gators
perform as a team. All that mat-
ters is how each individual fin-
ishes, as they look to swim their


way into this summer's World
Championships and World
University Games teams. This
will also be UF's first opportu-
nity to post qualifying times for
the 2008 Olympic Trials.
"It's more of an individual
performance than a team per-
formance," Coach Gregg Troy
said. "There're just one or two
key events for each swimmer.
We want to have good swims in
the morning, and they take two
athletes for each event."
The Gators will bring 15 total
swimmers to the meet. However,
10 of those 15 are either sopho-
mores or freshmen; only three are


seniors. While this -lack of big-
meet experience may be a factor,
Troy'has a different plan.
"[Choosing who comes]
doesn't have to do with age,"
Troy said. "[It
had to do with]
who could make
it, do well, and
who needed ex-
perience. [With
our conference],
they're real ex-
Troy perienced. It is
different, but it's all still racing."
One younger swimmer, fresh-
man Natalie Pike, knows her
teammates' support will not be


there as much as it has previously
this season. But, her teammates
have instilled her with plenty of
spirit, so Pike is not particularly
concerned about the World Trials.
"Everyone has helped tremen-
dously," Pike said. "I came from
a small club team, and these girls
have been amazing."
While Troy said the NCAA
Championships and the
Southeastern Conference
Championships have been an
emotional drain, there may actu-
ally be a positive side to entering
more grueling meets.
"[The World Trials] are cer-
tainly important,, just not the


same stress factor as NCPAAs,"
Troy said. "It's a little more re-
laxed setting, everyone's not con-
cerned about every event.
You have got to be relaxed be-
cause the support is not as great.
There was no time between meets.
The men just had to go, and wgmen
had only about one extra week."
Pike agrees with her coach,
saying her stress level has actu-
ally dropped.
"We are a lot more relaxed,"
she said. "A lot was riding. on
NCAAs. We're still very focused,
and it will help everyone go fast.
I'm just excited to go and be a
part of the team."


Georgia next in string of relentless opponents for UF


* AFTER PLAYING THE NO. 11 TEAM,
THE GATORS NOW FACE NO. 12.

By WILLIS JACOBSON
Alligator Writer

The No. 13 UF softball feam will go
back on the road this weekend, this time
looking to reclaim its position on top of the
conference standings.-
Coming off a- week in which they
lost two of three games against No.
11 Alabama, the Gators (28-8, 7-2
Southeastern Conference) will travel to
Athens, Ga. for a three-game series with
No. 12 Georgia (31-7, 12-0 SEC). The teams
will play a doubleheader on Saturday and
conclude the series on Sunday.
Playing a talented team like Georgia,
who is defending a 19-game win streak,
immediately after a tough team like
Alabama is nightmare material for a coach
trying to devise a game plan. UF coach
Karen Johns, however, says that such a
scenario is common in SEC play.
"It's pretty status quo in our confer-
ence," Johns said. "It's not like it's some-
thing new. It's kind of like women's bas-
ketball, where every game you're playing
a ranked team, it seems like, and if they're
not ranked they're close to being ranked.


It's a pretty competitive league, so I don't
think that's anything we get too high or-
low about. We just know we have to play
Georgia now and we've got to be ready."
The "Gators pitchers will have their
work cut out for then as they try and
shut down the Georgia offense, which has
outscored its opponents 132-17 during its
win streak.
The Bulldogs are also second in the con-
ference in team batting average.
"We started preparing for [Georgia] a
little bit [on Wednesday] right after the
game," Johns said. "We talked a little bit
about some things that we have to do
.to prepare ourselves. I'll start doing the
homework and have a report ready for
them for the bus ride."
UF first baseman Melissa Zick will look
to continue her career-high eight-game hit
streak.
She is batting .500 during the streak,
a stark contrast to the rest of the team's-
combined .307 batting average over those
eight games. Zick said that she and her
teammates are excited -to get back out and
have another series against a fellow top-15.
team.
"We're really psyched to go and beat
them on their home field," Zick said. "If
we play like we can, I think we'll do all
right."

Saturday's doubleheader will begin start at 1 p.m. All games will be played at

Sunday's series-ending game will also leads the all-time series 19-11.


WOMEN'S GOLF

Briles-Hinton already preparing team for '06 postseason


By NICK ZACCARDI
Alligator Writer

UF women's golf coach Jill
Briles-Hinton is taking a unique
approach to this weekend's final.
regular season tournament, the
Bryan National Collegiate.
Rather than prepping for
the upcoming Southeastern
Conference Championships,
Briles-Hinton wants the No. 15
Gators to gain experience for
the 2006 postseason by playing
the par-72 Champions Course at
Bryan Park.
"They're [Wake Forest] host-
ing -regionals there in 2006,"


Briles-Hinton said. "That would
be the reason why we're going
there."'
Briles-Hinton has more rea-
sons for traveling to Browns
Summit, N.C. -for the 17-team
tournament practicing and
scouting.
In its last five stroke play tour-
naments, UP has toyed with five
different lineups. Only freshman
Tiffany Chudy has played in each
tournament.
"Would I like to have the team
solidified by now? Yes," Briles-
Hinton said. "I would have liked
to have it solidified earlier in the
year."


"Our team is deep enough
now and strong enough
now that we can [qualify]."
Jill Briles-Hinton
UF women's golf coach

Depending on what happens
through Sunday, Briles-Hinton
still may not have a set roster for
the postseason.
The seventh-year coach ex-
pects qualifying for the SEC
Championships starting April 15,
and continuing to determine her
rotation.
"Our team is deep enough
now and strong enough now that


we can [qualify]," Briles-Hinton
said.
Whitney Myers provided UF's
bright spot during qualification,
shooting rounds of 78, 72 and 76
at the University Golf Courge.
The freshman's collective
score was nine shots lower than
her three-round total at the Gator
Invitational the first weekend of
March.
"Sometimes that happens
when you have a long break,"
Briles-Hinton said. "She's; learn-
ing new shots. She's opening her
mind to hit new shots and she's
doing super.".
The five golfers who have


survived this week will get a
good look at SEC competition in
today's first round.
Andrea Vander Lende, Camila
Gonzalez, Sandra Gal, Myers and
Chudy will each be paired with
golfers from conference rvals
South Carolina and Vanderbilt.
No. 3 Auburn, No. 4 Georgia
and No. 10 Tennessee round out
the six-team SEC contingent at
the Bryan National.
- "We have three seasons: fall,
the first part of spring, and then.
we play our last four events,"
Briles-Hinton said. "This is just
the very first step for us to finish

strong in nationals."

Matt Marriott / Alligator Staf
Former UF coach Billy Donovan talks to Rick Pitino, his mentor, about being the head coach of Kentucky. Like
Donovan leaving UF to coach Kentucky, Pitino left Kentucky and later coached at rival Louisville.


O'F fan: 'Donovan's a sell-out and a punk'


DONOVAN, from page 1

Slive's comments, but several mem-
bers of the UF men's basketball were
seen mulling around the basketball
practice facility early Friday morn-
ing.
"We won those games legit,"
senior forward David Lee said.
"Everyone makes it seem like it's so
ridiculous that we beat Kentucky.
Gee, maybe it's because we're a good
team."
Several players had other issues
to consider.
"I love Coach Donovan," fresh-
man forward Corey Brewer said.
"Now that he's going to Kentucky,
I'll have to strongly consider transfer-
ring."
Al Horford also said he'd consider
a transfer to Kentucky. Everyone else
on the team, though stunned, said
they would remain at UF.
"I may even stay in school now,"
said junior guard Anthony Roberson,
wh6 was considering a jump to the
NBA. "I liked Donovan, he was a


cool guy, but he really held me back.
I want to dunk. People don't think
I have ups, but that's only because
Coach Donovan told me not to be
flashy and not to dunk, let D Lee and
Brewer be the high-flyers. Hopefully
Foley will-bring in a coach who will
let me fly."

Fans split
The Alligator went on a frantic.
search to find fans early Friday morn-
ing, and several people on the street
were given the news of Donovan's
departure to a mixed reaction.
"I think this is crap," junior Terry
O'Toole said. "Florida basketball has
unlimited potential if the right guys
come in. I don't get what's so great
about Kentucky? Who would want
to live in the middle of hick-ville
anyway? Donovan's a sell-out and a
punk."
Other fans backed Donovan, say-
ing it was too good of an opportunity
to pass up.
"Kentucky's always one of the best
teams in the country," senior Katie
Gonzalez said. "We should be,thank-
ing Donovan for all his hard work


and wishing him luck at Kentucky.
Hopefully we'll get a good coach who
can beat Donovan next season."
Some other fans echoed
Donovan's remark that Florida
is truly a football school.
"Who's Billy Donovan?" freshman
Tom Guthrie said. "I didn't even know
we had a basketball team."

The aftermath
Now Foley must go on an all-,
out search to find a new coach, just
months after convincing football
coach Urban Meyer to join the
Gators.
"All I wanted to do was enjoy
a Steely Dan show. I never expected
to have to deal with this," Foley
said. "We're a big time program and
we'll land a big time coach. The Billy
Donovan era will be an afterthought
- this team will start winning na-
tional championships under, the next
coach."
Donovan wasn't so sure.
"It'll be tough for the University
of Florida, I realize that," Donovan
said: "I'll make sure to go easy on
them next season."


Billy backstabs UF,


awaits UK pressure

S o Billy "March is my least favorite month"
Donovan decided to leave UF for Kentucky.
Can you blame him?
Two words: Ashley Judd. (UF has many fans hotter
than her, but whatever.)
But, seriously, let's look at the history.
UF finally has one Southeastern Conference
Tournament championship; Kentucky has 25.
Kentucky has seven national championships; UF
has zero.
Hmm. Which school would you want to coach at?
The fact of the matter is Billy D is not an idiot,
despite what you may think after 324,532 consecutive
first- or second-round losses. Anyone would've taken
this offer. Loyalty means nothing anymore. See Rick
Pitino who stabbed Kentucky fans in the back by
going to rival Louisville.
Not close enough for you? How about the good ol'
ball coach Steven Orr Spurrier coaching for another
SEC school? In the SEC East,
no less?
S If Spurrier can do it, there's
no reason Donovan can't.
Also, don't you think
Donovan is sick of all the UF
fans whining about how he can't
Ian Fisher get it done in the postseason?
Extra lannings The whiny fans have a good
ifisher@alligator.org point, but I'm sure it's getting
old to Billy. He doesn't need to
hear your crap; he gets enough
from us, the media.
Here's what I've realized, though.
All this NCAA Tournament losing was planned.
Billy needed a good excuse to get out of Gainesville.
He was trying to get fired so he could leave, but
Athletics Director Jeremy Foley wasn't hearing any of
it. Donovan. kept doing just well enough to keep his
job despite not trying to. So he finally decided to pull
his own plug.
Billy could've won all these postseason games if
he tried.
But wanting to go to Kentucky isn't the pertinent
question here. The question that needs to be asked is,
"Why the hell would Kentucky want Billy?"
Sure Donovan's been a good coach at UF, but it's
different in Lexington. Different as in the only thing
there is Kentucky basketball. They hardly even have a
football team, which is something people care about a
lot more in Gainesville.
The pressure to win is going to be insane. Think
about it this way: Billy hasn't been able to handle the
little pressure put on him at UF come Tournament
time. (OK, maybe that one season, but that seems like
ages ago.)
Billy is going from a big fish in a small pond (the
O'Connell Center, which rarely fills up) to a small fish
in the biggest pond (Rupp Arena, always packed with
the rabid Kentucky faithful.)
And there's only down to go at Kentucky. Billy bet-
ter be lucky.

JUST KIDDING 0 the independent florida Not officially associated with the University of Florida PU5ished by Campus Comrnunications, Inc. of Gainesville, Florida We Inform. You Decide. ~~W2Lk&LF7 F Recycle FRniuA, APrnL 1., 2005j Donovan takes job with UF riva Kentucky Billy Donovan, knowing that he was going to Kentucky, shakes Matt Walsh's hand goodbye near the end of UF's season. The other Gators said goodbye, however some may be going with Donovan. By ANDREW ABRAMSON Alligator Staff Writer aabramson@aIIigator.org After turning the UF men's basketball program into a yearly NCAA Tournament team, Billy Donovan shocked the college basketball world early Friday morning by confirming that he will leave UF to coach rival Kentucky beginning next season. Rumors of Kentucky coach Tubby Smith heading to the NBA have been rampant for years, and with coaching. vacancies in Los Angeles, New York, Minneapolis and in other high profile cities, Smith decided it was the right time to go pro. Kentucky athletics director Mitch Barnhart called on Donovan, a former Kentucky assistant. Less than an hour later it was official. "I'll always cherish my years at the University of Florida, but this is a football school," said Donovan in an exclusive phone interview with the Alligator. "Kentucky has a chance to win national titles each and every year. It was a no-brainer." UF athletics director Jeremy Foley, attending a Steely Dan concert in Atlanta, said he was stunned at the news and left the concert after Donovan called him around 11 p.m. to tell him he was likely headed to Kentucky. "If [Donovan] wanted to leave the Gators to coach in the NBA, I'd understand," Foley said. "But to jump ship and head to a rival school is inexcusable. This is absurd and I'm shocked." Conspiracy theories It's been less than three weeks since UF stunned Kentucky for the SEC Tournament championship. After failing to defeat the Wildcats for four seasons, Donovan and the Gators scored two victories against Kentucky in eight days. SEC comrrmissioner Mike Silve was reached just after midnight. He was already looking into possible allegations of misconduct. "When was this really in the works?" Slive asked. "I knew something seemed off when the Gators managed to defeat Kentucky twice, and now I'm forced to really look into these allegations. Did Barnhart and Coach Smith allow UP to win those games in order to boost Billy Donovan's resume? Let's hope, for the sake of the SEC and college basketball, these are just silly conspiracy theories." Brewer may join Donovan Donovan wouldn't respond to SEE DONOVAN,.PAGE 24 STUDENT GOVERNMENT 'Dry' fight a mistake By MIKE GIMIGNANI Alligator Staff Writer mgimignani@alligator.org The recent student-led crusade against the possibility of a "dry campus" at UF may have been the result of a miscommunication, Student Body Presidentelect Joe Goldberg said Thursday. According to Goldberg, an e-mail document entitled "Dry Campus? Machen's Mission" was sent to several Student Government figures. However, most of the document actually was taken from a memo written in 1982 that warned of decreasing water levels in Lake Alice. An anonymous prankster allegedly doctored the memo by replacing the word "Marston" (for UF's president at the time, Robert Q. Marston) with "Machen," and "Lake Alice" with "The UF campus," Goldberg told the Alligator. "I guess I'm the goat," he said. "Looking back, it's easy to see how fake it was, but it looked convincing at the time." Goldberg said he has already apologized to UF Vice President for Student Affairs Patricia Telles-Irvin, who chided the Student Senate on Tuesday for spreading a false rumor. Staffers at UF's Department of Environmental Engineering Sciences, which. drafted the original memo, confirmed Thursday that they could not find the document, which led officials there to muse that it may have been stolen. Professor William McKeen, chair of UF's journalism department, said, UF to size out trucks, SUVs By EVA KIS Alligator Staff Writer ekis@aligator.org The ever-increasing problem of parking on campus led UF Transportation and Parking Services to announce it will begin denying decals to drivers of larger-sized vehicles. Interim Director Scott Fox said the restriction, which will come into effect this Summer, affects vehicles with wheelbases wider than 130 inches and longer than 220 inches. "Vehicles of that size often take up more than one space," Fox said. "They are also bad for the environment and take the largest toll on roads. It's a reasonable, feasible solution." Fox likened the prohibition, an idea spurred by complaints about the vehicles overtaking spaces, to new policies implemented by several major airlines. "We sell one decal per vehicle, and when that vehicle takes up more than its share of a space, our already strained resources are taxed even further," he said. The restriction applies to Student popular vehicles such as the Lifle Hummer, Chevrolet Avalanche, GMC Yukon XL, Lincoln Aviator and Ford Excursion as well as all Cadillac models built before 1974. One such driver affected is Student Body President-elect Joe Goldberg, who now has to find an off-campus solution for his ride. "I just don't know where Andre (Samuels, Impact Party adviser) will park my limousine now," Goldberg lamented.

VOLUME 98 ISSUE 128 STNT LIF udd By BRIDGET CAREY Alligator Staff Writer bcarey@sg.ufl.edu Student Body President-elect Joe Goldberg commended his former opponent Dennis Ngin for coming up with a blockbuster plan to engender diversity at UP. Goldberg said he plans to valiantly conquer the question of multiculturalism posed by his critics once he takes the reins next month, involving the deployment of a "minority buddy program" in his continuing effort to improve diversity education. Goldberg said he has the full backing of UF President Bernie Machen in supporting legislation encouraging white students to traverse campus in the company of at least one minority, to be managed through the Multicultural Affairs Cabinet. Machen could not be reached for comment Thursday. Enforcing the new rules will be the Student Goverrnent-funded Student Nighttime Auxiliary Patrol, also known as SNAP, which will soon will replace its fleet of run-down vans with efficient go-karts. The SNAP program, which is run by University Police, usually gives students the opportunity to request a ride on campus between 6:30 p.m. and 2 a.m. any day of the week. The multicultural move was a the florida RecyCle _11antor For a Better Florida Pubished by Campus Communications, Inc. of Gainesvlle, Florida "All the news that's print to fit" FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 2005 up' campaign issue for Ngin during this year's presidential elections and, although he didn't win, Ngin said he was glad to be able to finalize an eternal legacy. "With these new plans we can help keep more students safe and have fun at the same time," he said. By selling the three 15-passenger SNAP vans, SG is now able to fund 55 two-seat SNAP go-karts for the same price, making the buddy system that much more efficient. "It's more than a sea of smiling faces I want to see out there, it's a'sea of smiling colors, too." Joe Goldberg Student Body president-elect The best part of all, Ngin added, is that the new program is flawless. "We will have more than 50 karts chauffeuring students of different ethnicities throughout campus. I don't know why we didn't think of this sooner," he said. Goldberg said Ngin's idea was to be both a hallmark and an inspiration during his upcoming term. "I really feel that this will make us a Top 10 university," Goldberg said. "It's more than a sea of smiling faces I want to see out there, it's a sea of smiling colors, too." C %mssion: no party wrongdoing in SG elections E PRESIDENT-ELECT GOLDBERG APPOINTED AND LED THE GROUP. By NICK WEIDENMILLER Alligator Staff Writer nweidenmiller@sg.ufl.edu A blue-ribbon commission has found no evidence of wrongdoing in the recent Student Government elections, high-ranking SG officials told the Alligator on Thursday. Appointed and led by Student Body President-elect Joe Goldberg, the group met in a secret, closed session for several hours this weekend before concluding that allegations made by members of several parties involved in the elections were without basis. "We looked at the facts, and there's nothing there. How anyone could insinuate this nonsense is totally beyond me," Goldberg said. Goldberg added that he didn't see an issue with serving on the same committee that mostly probed complaints against his party. "Presidents don't have time to have conflicts of interest," he said. Other SG officials agree, maintaining the false light shed on Goldberg and The Gator Party was by far the most pressing issue. "[The investigation] was a witch hunt. We are so not like that at all," Student Body Treasurer-elect Lindsay Cosimi said in a Thursday interview. "It's a credit to men like Joe [Goldberg] that they can put up with these accusations Student and still have a smile on Govern ent their face." The commission decided to publicly chastise former Impact Party adviser Lowell Wong, whose complaint with University Police led to a widespread investigation of all the 11 parties registered this Spring. Wong could.not be reached for comment Thursday. Also, the nine-member board narrowly defeated a measure to recommend a $5,000 fine against Impact Party presidential candidate Dennis Ngin and a $1 fine for vicepresidential candidate Robert Mack. Student Senate President Diane Kassim, the subject of an earlier allegation over her recent appointment to that position, commended the group Friday for putting a touch of finality on a controversial issue. "I can only hope that now the individuals who propagate this hatred will receive their proper punishment," she wrote in an e-mail. Editor's Note: The Alligator embarks on its journey to a brave new world today, as we welcome back membership in Student Government and our old motto, "For a Better Florida." See page 3 for more information on this momentous change in our history. SG-funded Skittles to rain onto Reitz Union Colonnade on Friday Thanks to the generosity of Student Body President-elect Joe Goldberg, a real-life torrent of Skittles candies will fall on the Reitz Union at noon today. Student Government will pay local skydiving outfit AirDrop, Ic., $20,000 to rain 160 tons of the fruit-flavored sweets on the campus during Friday classes. "This isn't like chocolate alligators or anything," Goldberg said. "But I want to give people a chance to taste the rainbow." Calls to the Pride Student Union were not returned. John Caldewell, AirDrop's president, said "technical questions" still exist with getting the candies to the ground in one piece. "They might move pretty fast," he said. E Voice Party chairman Christian Duque was suspended today by Student Government authorities for refusing to concede last month's elections.

Dennis Baxley for first place in the Florida Legislature's first annual "Rule 'n' Rassle Invitational" wrestling competition. Mack, the only under-25 man invited to the 32-member elimination tournament, powered through his opponents without much resistance. Only Baxley, the chairman of the House Education Committee, gave Mack a run for his money, Mack said. "Dennis -[Baxley]'s got some fire in him," Mack said. "Every time I'd move in for the kill, he'd find a way to slip from my hands." Mack won bragging rights from his competitors -mostly representatives -and a -$50 gift certificate to Sonny's Real Pit BBQ. But Baxley couldn't resist talking trash of the Student Government lobby coordinator. "This is just the first match. I'll be back, and then we'll do things Ocala style," Baxley said. -MEGAN SEERY CAMPUS Basketball player to shoot 'Visine' commercial UF basketball star Matt Walsh didn't need long to capitalize on his now-infamous crying incident FORECAST TODAY SUNNY 72/72 SATURDAY SUNNY 72/72 SUNDAY SUNNY 72/72 during the NCAA Tournament game against Villanova.

Last weekend several of UF's sororities banded together in an effort to raise money and awareness about a cause they collectively feel deeply about.

"There's a football game to'day, isn't there?" said one sister, who said that without her name tag, she could not remember her name or major. "Saturday is the Lord's day, so we thought people would be in a giving mood," said another. "My boyfriend is in [Sigma Phi Epsilon]," said a third. Regardless of logistics, if the money raised impacts just one life, all involved will be happy with the results, Gomberg mused after the event. "Fifty-nine dollars, that's like 2 million pesos, so I imagine maybe we will just go to Italy and buy the designer bags there," Gomberg said. -KYLIE CRAIG WHAT'S HAPPENING 10 a.m., Noon, 2 p.m., 4:30 p.m. President's Radio Address Tigert Hall 00 -E 0*-11 a.m. Stop Sorority Stereotypes Reitz Union Colonnade 7 p.m. "Glengarry Glen Ross" Reitz Union Cinema VOLUME 98 ISSN 0889-2423 ISSUE 127 Published by Campus Communications Inc., of Gainesville, Florida STUDENT LEADERSHIP Copy Editors Chris Berger, Mary Beth Bishop, Student Body President Joe Goldberg Student Body Vice President Joyce Medina Student Body Treasurer Lindsay Cosimi Student Senate President Diane Kassim Student Senate Pro-Tempore Josh Boyles NEWSROOM 352-376-4458 (Voice), 352-376-4467 (Fax) Editor Dwayne Robinson Managing Editor / New Media Matthew Kelly Sports Editor Ian Fisher Assistant Sports Editor Louis Anastasis alligatorSports.org Editor AndrewAbramson University Editor Steve Orlando Elections Editor Eva Kis Freelance Editor Natalie Liem Assignment Editor Nick Weidenmiller Tallahassee Bureau Chief James VanLandingham Editorial Board Joe Goldberg, Joyce Medina, Lindsay Cosimi, Diane Kassim, Josh Boyles, Dwayne Robinson Photo Editor Casey Anderson Assistant Photo Editor Nick West Photo Staff Matt Marriott, Emily Harris, Tricia Coyne the Avenue Editor Kelly-Anne Suarez the Avenue Assistant Editor Sarah Anderson Copy Desk Chiefs Robert Beltran, Matt Cmar, Sheryl Rosen, Ryan Worthington The Independent Florida Alligator is a student newspaper serving the University of Florida, published by a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) educational organization, Campus Communications Inc., P.O.

By STEPHANIE GARRY Alligator Staff Writer smgarry@alligator.org UF students who don't yet understand the purpose of their major may get a clue from the school this December. That's the deadline for UF administrators to define what knowledge and skills students in more than 100 majors should have by graduation and how that achievement can be measured. "This is a large administrative and faculty task that needs to be done," Interim Provost Joe Glover told the Board of Trustees, the university's highest governing body, last week. The idea, mandated by the State University System's highest authority, is that students will have a university's promise to learn content and critical thinking and communication skills if they successfully complete a certain degree. But UP officials, faculty and students have feared the Academic Learning Compacts will translate into another test for graduating seniors. "The hope is that the academic learning compacts will foster program improvement so that as we evaluate how students perform on Academic Learning Compacts it will provide us feedback," Glover said. Though UF still doesn't know if testing will be required, it's taking a proactive approach toward the assignment in hopes that it won't turn into a bureaucratic mess, said Jack Mecholsky, chairman of the Faculty Senate council who is working on the mandate with the provost's office. "I don't encourage individual assessment," he said, adding that graduating from a good program should be proof enough of their learning achievement. "The way we do it now is based on the program." After the university sets the learning outcomes and measures, it will go to the Board of Trustees for approval in December and then to the Board of Governors, the authority over the State University System. As one measure of accountability, the compacts may be tied to UF's legislative funding, though that relationship is still unclear, Glover said. "This is a large administrative and faculty task that needs to be done." Joe Glover interim provost UF already has a variety of measures in place to ensure the quality of their programs, including accreditation processes that are more stringent than the compacts, Mecholaky said. With tracking, required courses and curriculums for each major, the university is hoping these standards will show accountability is inherent in the process and preempt any need for testing or additional measures, Mecholsky said. Otherwise, the compacts may be a duplication, he said. Pierre Ramond, chairman of the Faculty Senate, wrote in a statement that the faculty is the keeper of academic programs, standards and quality and that the Board-mandated compacts should not infringeon that right. He agreed that many accountability measures are already in place. "Students are being over-tested as it is," Ramond said. "The proof of our success really is that people still want to come to the University of Florida."

4, ALLIGATOR U FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 2005 Ufrt rtiMtgSTRAToupN Grant could help recruit minority grad students By EMILY YEHLE Alligator Writer eyehle@amigator.org UF officials are hoping a $6.9 million grant will help increase the diversity of graduate students, strengthening UF's position among top research universities. The National Science Foundation awarded UF with money to expand an existing university coalition that aims to encourage minority undergraduates to enter graduate programs in science, engineering and mathematics. UF, Clemson University and the University of South Carolina will lead the Southeast Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate because of the variety of their Ph.D programs, while more than 20 universities in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina will provide students for those Ph.D programs. The first step is hosting visits to campus, said Anne Donnelly, the program's director. "We have existing graduate students meet with and serve as local hosts so they have a chance to talk to students," she said. "They are very powerful role models." Workshops, fellowships and international research opportunities follow for students who attend UF and join the program. The expansion will allow UP to find minority students relatively close, Donnelly said. "It makes more sense to recruit students in the region than to go across the country," she said. Furthermore, the coalition includes a partnership with the University of the Virgin Islands and a group that provides research opportunities in 30 Latin American countries, she d. The grant comes in the wake of UF President Bernie Machen's goal to become a Top 10 public research university. But the universities UF emulates are more diverse. "Machen has said he wants [UF] to be a world class institution," she said. "You can't be a world class institution if you don't represent the world, and diversity is part of that." The program's ultimate goal is to increase faculty diversity by recruiting and supporting minority students who have academic aspirations, Donnelly said. UF also contributes money for additional post-doctoral positions for minorities, she said. Between Fall 1999 and 2004, UF participated in a smaller program with FAMU and worked with the Florida-Georgia Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation to bring more minority students to UP. During those five years, minority enrollment in hard sciences, engineering and biological sciences increased 44 percent, 51 percent and 58 percent, respectively. In that same time, engineering Ph.D recipients almost tripled, according to a report on the program. Judge sentences Hudson to 30 years in murder case E HUDSON'S CONVICTION CAME ON HIS THIRD TRIAL. By MEGAN V. WINSLOW Alligator Writer mwinslow@alligator.org A county judge sentenced Willie James Hudson to 30 years in prison Thursday, in connection with the July 2003 shooting deaths of two Gainesville men. On March 18, after 14 hours of deliberation over two days, a jury found Hudson, 30, guilty of two counts of manslaughter. Wearing shackles and an orange jumpsuit, Hudson faced both Judge Mary Day Coker's decision regarding a third charge -possession of a firearm by a convicted felon -and ultimately, his sentence for all three charges at Thursday's hearing. As state law prohibits a jury from having knowledge of a defendant's previous criminal history, Coker was responsible for determining a verdict on the firearm charge. After considering the circumstances surrounding the weapon, Coker found Hudson guilty and sentenced him to 15 years for each of the three crimes. Two of those sentences -one for manslaughter, the other for the firearm -will be served concurrently. Prior to Coker's decision, family members of both victims made statements, expressing a desire for a harsh sentence. "This cannot be repaired -Kevin cannot be replaced," said Eyvette Harris, sister of victim Kevin Harris. "My children are without an uncle. My nephew is without a father. not a Paxil, not a Zoloft can help with what I'm going through." However, after two mistrials, the punishments brought a sense of closure to both sides of the bench. "in light of all the circumstances, the state is satisfied that at least some degree of justice was done, and it respects both the verdict of the jury and the sentence of the court," prosecutor Geoffrey Fleck said. On July 2, 2003, Harris, 29, climbed into Hudson's car allegedly intending to buy cocaine from -Local John Adkins, 28. u According to pros-, ecutors, Hudson was waiting in the backseat of the car, planning to rob Harris of approximately $8,000. When Harris fought back, Hudson shot him three times. Adkins, the driver, was killed when he was struck in the head by a stray bullet. Soon after, the car crashed into the front porch of City Commissioner Craig Lowe's home. Through all three trials, defense attorney Stephen Bernstein maintained Hudson was in Orlando with his wife at the time of the shootings. Following the'verdict, Bernstein said he believed the decision was a "compromise" and called some evidence circumstantial and confusing. "I think this sentence has all the problems it does because of the jury's compromise, and nobody knows what to do with the case," Bernstein said. "If you treat it as murder, you're wrong because the jury said it wasn't murder, and no one asked for manslaughter."

FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 2005 I ALLIGATOR, 5 Muslims talk news By JOHN COX Alligator Contributing Writer "Kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity." If the "their" in columnist Ann Coulter's statement referred to Jews and not Muslims, would it run in a newspaper? Ahmed Bedier said he doesn't think so. "Islam and Muslims are in the headlines every day and mostly in a negative light," said Bedier, Central Florida director for the Council on AmericanIslamic Relations. Americans are often confused about Islam, and the media doesn't help, Bedier said. Bedier spoke to nine people in the Florida Gym Thursday night about how journalists should cover Islam. UF's Islam on Campus sponsored the event. Bedier said the media has created dangerous stereotypes about Muslims since Sept. 11, 2001. "Those stereotypes eventually develop into hatred," he said. A 2004 CAIR report showed a 70 percent increase in antiMuslim incidents, Bedier said. UF psychology sophomore Hassan Loutfi said he thought Bedier was right about how media outlets cover Islam. "A lot of the audience is not Muslim, and they know that," said Loutfi, who is Muslim. Bedier said On journalists should lClmtpl do more to cover Muslim holidays and local events. A lack of Muslim influence in the media also has affected public perception, he said. CAIR encourages Muslims in universities to go into journalism. "It's important to just not have a bunch of white people on staff," Bedier said. Bedier also said Muslims often do not trust the media. "Many people just think all the media is controlled by Jews," he said. AROUND GAINESVILLE Commissioner makes homeless crusade into summit By BRIAN HAGEN Alligator Writer bhagen@alligator.org Alachua County Commissioner Rodney Long turned his two days' experience living as a homeless person in northeast Gainesville last week into a commission to resolve the problem in 10 years Thursday. Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan, Long and other community leaders and luminaries met for The Homelessness Summit, held at the Martin Luther King Jr. Activity Center. The forum brought together politicians, business and property owners and community activists who will focus on providing more services, sustainable housing and mental and substance-abuse care, as well as improving law enforcement, jail I and institutional care. "This is a real problem, and it's not going away," Long said. "It's ui to us. What are you going to do to help?" Featured speakers included leaders from Jacksonville and Tallahassee who shared their own cities' difficulties in fighting homelessness. Tallahassee Mayor John Marks emphasized the need to provide affordable housing. Doing nothing can cost more than fighting the problem, said Wanda Lanier, executive director of the Emergency Services and Homeless Coalition of Jacksonville Inc. To calculate the cost, the coalition tracked the service needs of individual "We could have built John a house for what we spent on him in a year." Wanda Lanier executive director of the Emergency Services and Homeless Coalition of Jacksonville Inc. homeless people, such as John, a bipolar homeless man. In seven months, John's trips to the emergency room, detoxification programs and lodging at shelters cost Jacksonville $40,000. "We could have built John a house for what we spent on him in a year," she said. When guests were slow to join the committee, Long approached them with a grin and a booming voice, volunteering them himself. Hanrahan received a sizeable check for $946,379 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to help the city in its efforts. Also among summit attendees were city commissioners Rick Bryant and Craig Lowe, Alachua County Sheriff Steve Oelrich and homeless people Long befriended while living on the streets of Gainesville last week. Attendees also offered insight into options to make the program effective. "We need to incorporate the people who've been through these programs," said Hawthorne Mayor John Martin. "There is a connection between someone who's been down the same road you've been down." The Local Brew Charlie Honderick and his band, The Most, perform at the Orange & Brew on Thursday night.

6, ALLIGATOR S FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 2005 Editorial We're going to try something new today: an all-Laurel edition of Darts & Laurels. While we've earned a reputation this semester for being particularly negative -and deservedly so -we're not really all as cynical as some think. We enjoy a walk on the beach, a particularly vibrant sunset and the sound of a baby's laugh as much as any boring poet. That's why we're so happy that a lot of heartwarming stuff has been happening lately. We're usually relegated to taking out the trash, as it were, but today we are only going to discuss things that truly exemplify everything that is right in the world today. Heck, maybe we'll even like it. This could be the start of a new, infinitely more rosy future. So, braid some flowers into your hair, give the person next to you a big hug and then realize how naive you are for actually believing anything we just said on April Fools' Day as we laugh merrily at you into this week's Laurel-free edition of. Darts & Laurels We kick things off by bestowing our coveted dumbestphrase-ever-uttered-and-then-printed-in-our-pages-this-year DART to Rep. Dennis Baxley for saying that he opposes any form of benefits for partners of gay or lesbian couples because he believes that homosexuals are too promiscuous. While his ludicrously discriminatory statements on this issue are too numerous to list, a particular' favorite of the Department of Darts & Laurels was, "Some of these people have 300 partners in their lifetime and, by and large, these are not monogamous relationships." We'd love to see the research that led him to that statistic. Baxley: "How many guys have you, uh, you know, 'done?"' Happily monogamous gay man: "Actually, I'm still with my high-school sweetheart." Baxley to himself: "So, he says 'one.' But once I invoke the Multiply-by-300 Rule of homosexual promiscuity." Yeah, we know that's not fair. He never would have gone out and actually talked to "a gay" himself. Because we know that "when it April showers, it pours," we toss a bring-back-the-ballots-we've-got-a-new-contender-fordumbest-quote-ever-printed DART to Scott Fox, interim director of OJU~s Transportation and Parking Services, for insisting -despite the staggering mountain of evidence to the contrary -that ,"We know there is enough red parking." This statement was in flagrant denial of the fact that 1,653 Red 1 decals were sold for only 800 parking spaces and 3,558 Red 3 decals we sold for 3,101 All Red or All Decal spaces. By what twisted form of logic is this "enough red parking?" When students are turned away from parking lots daily because there are no available spots -because there are many more decals sold than there are spaces -how can you even begin to argue that there are "enough?" But give him the benefit of the doubt: Maybe he was just really confused from all of the asphalt fumes, and so he decided to celebrate April Fools' Day a bit early. Finally, because we're always looking out for evidence that the government decided "1984" had some pretty good ideas, we give a don't-you-guys-know-that-it's-a-really-bad-idea-totry-to-separate-a-fat-kid-and-his-cake DART to Oregon's state legislature for considering legislation that would ban candy, soda and other junk food from being sold in public schools. Don't these legislators remember back when they were a child? Where would we all be today if we hadn't had "snack time" during our most impressionable years? It's not the same if the "snacks" are green vegetables, rice cakes and V8. In other news, the Oregon legislators also have proposed a blanket ban on all pencils in a last-ditch effort to stem the tide of lead-poisoning deaths caused when school children get desperate after they run out of paste to eat. Just kidding. We may be willing to go pretty far on April Fools' Day, but the reality of our kids sucking back No.2's like coke is no laughing matter. Now we can't even tell when we're kidding anymore. 0 the independent florida alligator Dwayne Robinson EDITOR Mike Gimignani MANAGING EDITOR Matt Sanchez OPINIONS EDITOR Lauren Flanagan Diana Middleton Craig Singleton EDITORIAL BOARD The Alligotor encourages comments from renders.

Opinions ALLIGATOR www.aligator.org/opinions 1ACSruhVo7I5 ctic~ ,~ ~ 09W1 APPEAL TI/IS Column Don't like comics? You will after this ot damn, I'm excited. I've been talking about it all week. To tell you the truth, I haven't shut the hell up once. "Sin City" is out today, and I could not be happier. I'm probably in cinematic ecstasy right now as you're reading this sentence, and I feel confident saying that because I plan to see the movie eight or nine times this weekend. For those of you who don't know, "Sin City" is perhaps the most ambitious, innovative and talent laden-film released this year. Without even seeing it, I'm declaring it one of the best. That's because "Sin City" is comics done right. All of us have seen "Daredevil," or "Catwoman," or "Elektra," and one of the reasons those movies sucked is because they deviated so much from the source inaterial. Not this time. Frank Miller, the writer, illustrator and creator of the "Sin City" comics not only wrote the screenplay, but he has been brought on as a director as well. Let me put this in perspective. If there were a Holy Trinity of modern comic book writers, that Big Three would include Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman and Frank Miller. Miller's work on Batman ("Batman: Year One," "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns") is what turned him into the grittycharacter you think of today (rather than the campy Adam West version), and Miller took that edge to another. level entirely when he created "Sin City." "Sin City" is a dark, violent place, and Miller highlighted this by almost exclusively using black and white in the books. Robert Rodriguez, the film's co-director, convinced Miller to sign on to the project so he could recreate Miller's style on film. If you've seen the black-and-white commercials they've been airing recently, you know what I'm talking about. If not, try to understand that this movie looks radically different than anything you've seen before. Miller's artistry is so unique and so astonishing that, if the movie looks half as good as the printed Andrew Meyer Uncommon Sense lettersealligator.org version, this will be an incredible film. That's why "Sin City" has drawn more top-level talent than any movie I can ever remember. One of the greatest comic book stories ever (and now one of my favorites) is being brought to the silver screen, and Bruce Willis, Jessica Alba, Clive Owen, Benicio Del Toro, Michael Clark Duncan, Elijah Wood, Rosario Dawson, Michael Madsen, Josh Hartnett, Mickey Rourke (an inspired casting choice as the film's antihero Marv), Jaime King, Brittany Murphy, Nick Stahl and Devon Aoki all wanted in on-it. Oh, and I forgot to mention that Quentin Tarantino guest directs for part of the film. Can you see why I'm excited? When I saw that staggering orgy of talent signed up for this film, it was all I could do to stop myself from hyperventilating. I had read Miller's work on Batman, but didn't get around to "Sin City" until last week (yes, that was me sitting in the bookstore for days on end). I can't stress enough how amazing these books are. The struggles of the twisted antiheroes of "Sin City" are fleshed out so realistically that it's like nothing you've ever read before., Comic books are without question the most unheralded medium in literature, long and unfairly regarded by many as mere "kid's stuff." Even today, there is a stigma associated with reading comics, despite the high quality many of them possess. So when I say that "Sin City" is easily one of the five greatest comic books eve-r, it might not mean much to you. After seeing' this movie, believe me, it will.

Letters to the Editor Some people are too quick to cry 'racist' Editor: Somehow, Dan Raben came to the conclusion that Andy Marlette's cartoon on Johnnie Cochran was racist. I think it's pathetic that, every time a black person is attacked, there are people who assume there are racist motives at play. I'm sure the vast majority of those who read his letter replied, "Huh?" I also would like to see Raben's evidence that a large number of UF students are racists. The racism charge just sounds like a bunch of poppycock from a whining lunatic. Raben, I suggest you make a better effort to get the wad out of your panties and go have a drink. It's just a stupid cartoon. Dan May Uf alumnus Legislator's attempts would stop growth Editor: Representative Dennis Baxley has been more than wrong these past few weeks: He's been irresponsible. In a state in which the educational system has been under scrutiny as lazy, static and unproductive, he is taking very drastic measures to ensure that the slow momentum UF and other colleges are building in the direction of growth is halted. Professors across the state are feeling more unwelcome by the appropriately misnamed Academic Freedom Bill, which hopes to ensure that progress in literature, art, political and social theory and the sciences will be stifled by fears that students who believe the Sun does not revolve around the Earth or that the Holocaust never happened can sue for the right to have their ideas go unchallenged by real experts. Threatening a school that is trying to allow domestic partner benefits ensures that a sizable demographic of capable and much-needed instructors will take their abilities elsewhere. Perhaps, when all of the professors at UF have left, he can be the one to come and teach us about the future with his 30-year-outdated bachelor's degrees from FSU and his academic experience as a Rotary Club president. Zachary Clark Vice president, Pride Student Union Palestinian rapper furthers same themes Editor: Will Youmans, a PalestinianAmerican rapper, said he was not on campus "to convert anyone over to my side or view," and added "violence against civilians is wrong" (from Thursday's Alligator). He then led the audience in Singing a song with a chorus that went, "They exiled us and 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." Yeah, yeah. This is the sort of message that leads Palestinian youths to kill Israeli civilians -hundreds of whom have been murdered in suicide bombings during the Intifada as a result of similar themes in Arab society. In 1947-49, 2,000 Jewish civilians (not soldiers) weye killed because the Palestinians and five surrounding Arab countries rejected the U.N. resolution establishing a Jewish state and an Arab state in Palestine. Between 1949 and 1955, 700,000 Jews who had lived in those same Arab countries for centuries were hounded out of their homes and found refuge in Israel. Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt are now "judenrein," (free of Jews) in one of the most absolute instances of apartheid in the 20th century, while 20 percent of the Jewish state is composed of Arab Israelis. That is my side or view. Ralph Lowenstein Dean Emeritus, College of Journalism and Communications U EUE Editorial is misleading, wrongly personal Editor: I feel it is necessary to clarify your coitcerns regarding The Gainesville Sun's relationship with UF to reassure students their money and time is being taken into account. First, UF and the Sun are in talks. There has not been any official comnmitment made by either side to pursue this program. The $16,000' FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 7 is an estimation. This program is one of many ideas being considered to broaden the outlets for news on campus and allow journalism students to access more outlets for publishing. Second, I never made my involvementpersonal. I am friends with many of your employees. Emily Yehle, the author of Tuesday's article, was told she could call me day or night to address any issues or concerns. I gave her every shred of information I had concerning the program and even took extra steps to be clear on the program's potential details. Furthermore, I take full responsibility for the mistake I made last semester. I never have denied the situation; however, it was, in fact, a mistake. I know you are familiar with such mistakes. Just this week, you cut off the end of an article and misspelled two headlines. Surely, the students are not calling for your head. The fact is, I was and am sorry for what happened, but I maintain that I learned from the experience and am ready to move on. I am hurt that you stooped to the personal level to scare off students who wish to make this university better. You have a responsibility to expose the truth, but you have shown this semester that exploiting peoples' weaknesses is more entertaining than real, hard news. I hope this is not a regular occurrence. We all make mistakes, but publishing them when details are not necessary is unprofessional. Stephanie Ruby 3 JM/LS 7A~ ~424?/< ~74-1 Al Tonight. April 1315 S.

8, ALLIGATOR U WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 2005 I 1 Students reflect on beauty By KYLIE CRAIG Alligator Writer kcraig@alligator.org UF students described beauty in their own words at Thursday's "Beyond Body Acceptance: Redefining Beauty and Your Relationship with Food" event. The Panhellenic Council and the Student Health Care Center hosted the event. It aimed to challenge students' current ideas about beauty and body image and educate them on intuitive eating and eating disorders, according to a release. Amy Kennedy, Panhellenic director of women's wellness, said she wanted the event to help women realize the importance of addressing issues with body image. "We feel that by facing this subject, more women will seek resources to confront this issue and will feel better about themselves over time," she said. Students attending the event were given fliers on healthy eating, eating disorder fact sheets, SHCC cookbooks and the opportunity to receive a free massage from the SHCC between classes. They were also able to write down their own definitions of beauty to be put on a poster. It's important for people to have a healthy view of what beauty is, in part because of the pressure the media puts on people, Kennedy said. "On TV and in movies you'll see how we're supposed to look and supposed to act, and the typical woman in college rqe k isn't like that," she said. 11re UF senior Amber Whatley, 27, said she stopped by the tent event because she thinks body image is a problem for the entire society, not just college students. "Image is far too highly stressed," Whatley said. "I think women are made to feel they have to have a totally unrealistic image." Nutritionists and counselors were also on site to answer questions about body acceptance and eating disorders. "As college women, we should realize -we're all different and that's the best part about it," Kennedy said.

FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 2005 ALLIGATOR, 9 soALLAHASSEE HoUseI deba0mmtes us of deadyfre By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM Alligator Staff Writer jvanl@alligator.org TALLAHASSEE -A bill that grants Floridians who shoot intruders in their homes immunity from criminal or civil liability moved forward in the Florida House on Thursday, after an hour of debate that at times seemed downright raucous. House Bill 249, a version similar to another bill that passed the Florida Senate unanimously March 23, says that even in public places, Floridians would not have a duty to retreat before using deadly force against assailants. That would depart drastically from current state law, which requires that if a persons are attacked outside their home or office and fears for their life, they must first attempt to flee if possible. Willie Meggs, a state attorney in Tallahassee and head of the Florida Prosecuting Attorneys Association, said the new law is unnecessary and potentially dangerous. "I think we're tying to solve a problem that doesn't exist, and in doing so may create a problem that we don't need," Meggs said, adding that many future murder defendants could easily claim they acted in self-defense. "Those are definite concerns," he said. "I'm aware of situationswhere there have been altercations where deadly force was used ahd the person did not retreat. .While the commonlaw doctrine that a man's home is his castle has long dictated that people don't have to retreat from their own homes, the new bill extends the idea to public parks and city streets. "If that's what the law says, I don't think that's real good," Meggs said. The "deadly force" bill was sponsored in the House by Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, who chairs the House Education Council. "I'm the strongest advocate for freedom in this House," Baxley said during the debate. "I don't carry a gun, but I want criminals to know that behind every door they break into may be a citizen with a firearm." Rep. Dan Gelber, D-Miami Beach, sponsored an amendment that would have allowed state attorneys to prosecute in such situations if they believed the killing was premeditated murder. "If we pass this law, killers who could have walked away will not be prosecuted. Do you understand that?" he nearly shouted during debate on the legislation. "People would be authorized to kill or murder under this bill." House Republicans shouted down Gelber's amendment in a voice vote. Also in debate, House Democrats took aim at Baxley and his bill. Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Dania Beach, asked whether he could shoot someone at a bar if he was drinking and another man came at him. "Maybe," Baxley said. "If someone moves at you, you don't have very long to decide whether to meet the threat with deadly force, or whether you'll turn and run and be shot in the back." "So you're saying if someone jumps at you and you think that person might hurt you, you can shoot them dead without them even touching you, and couldn't be prosecuted for that? Nice," Ryan responded. Rep. Susan Bucher, D-West Palm Beach, asked whether Baxley could shoot another House member in a committee meeting if they were arguing and the other member stepped toward him in anger. "If you have reasonable fear of death or great bodily harm, you have a right to defend yourself," Baxley replied. "But I didn't think you could bring a firearm into the Capitol building anyway." Rep. Ken Gottlieb, D-Miramar, asked if he could be held liable if he was outside, thought another person was coming at him, shot, missed, and killed a child bystander. "Sometimes accidents may occur," Baxley said. "But think of how many people would have been hurt if you didn't act." Rep. Ari Porth, D-Coral Springs, pressed home. "The purpose of this bill is to ensure that you can meet force with force," Baxley said, answering one of Porth's questions. "What if you're in the grocery line in the express lane and you have way more than 15 items: The person behind you gets mad and pushes you out of the way. Can you pop a cap in them, calmly purchase your groceries and then call for a cleanup at checkout three?" Porth then asked. "If you're pushed, you can push back," Baxley said. Rep. Aithenia Joyner, D-Tampa, sponsored one last amendment that still would have required Floridians to walk away from conflicts before they started shooting. "For the past month, we've heard a lot about how this chamber is supposed to embrace a culture of life," she said, insinuating hypocrisy behind political outcry over the Terri Schiavo case. Joyner's amendment failed 85 to 30. The bill is expected to pass the full House next week. April 2-3, Stephen C.

"I brought a question box in the [UF Student] Senate," he said. "I had all the senators put questions in the box on Tuesday, so I got a wide range of questions." Sowell said he felt he had a good relationship with the governor, and it was best for the student body to allow that same relationship for his successor. "I could call up Jeb if I needed any issues addressed," Sowell said. Goldberg said he appreciated the invitation from Sowell and the opportunity to speak with the governor.

18, ALLIGATOR E FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 2005 MEN'S AND WOMEN'S TENNIS Gators look to continue eight-game winning streak Whenthe Gators hit the court this afternoon, they'll be in pursuit of something they've been unable attain all season -a win against a higher-ranked team. The No. 9 UF men's tennis team, currently on an 9-0 winning streak, is on a confidence high and playing a stronger game, one that could edge -No. 8 Georgia today. "We have good match-ups against these guys; we just need to put four matches together, and we definitely can," junior Jordan Dolberg said. "The confidence is back. I can see it in the team, and it is definitely good to have against these guys, because these guys are good." One of Georgia's (13-3, 5-1 Southeastern Conference) prime strengths comes in doubles play, with its top pair ranked second nationally. Coach Andy Jackson said that while Georgia's doubles are talented, he is confident in Hamid Mirzadeh and Greg Ouellette on court one, along with UF's other two doubles teams. Jackson added that though it is important to earn the doubles point, it is not necessarily game-deciding. "We're over the hump where we feel like it is the end all be all," he said. "We could win the doubles, but we can also win the match winning or losing the doubles. We hope to S get off to a good start, but we hope to finish strong, which is more important UF hosts its final home game of the regular Jackson ,season Sunday against No. 17 Tennessee before taking the road for two weeks to finish out the season. Whether the Gators beat the Bulldogs or not, Jackson said the team will be vying for the No. 1 spot in the league. "The key thing is that we don't get too overconfident that we have to win, or too down if things don't go our way against Georgia," Jackson said. "We're still in first place going into Sunday." -NATASHA WEINSTEIN FROM STRUGGLES TO SUCCESS: The Gators are back, complete with the ranking to match. Thanks to victories over two top25 teams last week, the UF women's tennis team returned to the top-10 in the national rankings, accordmig to a release by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Tuesday. Previously undefeated and ranked at No. 2, the Gators dropped to No. 17 after back-to-back losses to Kentucky and Vanderbilt in the same weekend. They are now ranked No. 9 following two wins over then-No. 7 Duke and then-No. 23 Alabama lastweek. "We've really turned it around," associate head coach Dave Balogh said. "The girls have done a great job preparing We had a bump in the road a couple weeks ago in Kentucky. We've done a good job at spending a few minutes here and there on one or two things that everyone needed to improve on. And, I think it showed against Duke on Wednesday night. We came out probably better than we have all year." Balogh is confident the two losses have only helped the Gators improve, but that is more than can be said about the team's spirits. Balogh saw that the media hype surrounding the losses had gotten Balogh to the girls. "With all the talk about Florida hasn't lost two matches in whatever amount of time, they're saying [it put] a chip on their shoulders," Balogh said. "They [took it personally]." Despite hurt feelings, Balogh has seen the team come together to get themselves back on track, thanks in part to the team's lone senior, Zerene Reyes. "Zhrone is an unbelievable leader," Balogh said. "She leads more by example, and it doesn't come natural for her to be as vocal. So, we pulled her aside and said we need you to get in there more, and she's lone a great job." With a -boosted morale and an injured player returning to play, the Gators are confidently awaiting their upcoming matches. "B.B. (Boglarka Berecz) is healthier with her wrist, and it's really helped our doubles," Balogh said. "She has a lot of experience, being a junior. She's one of our best doubles players. Getting her back in the lineup will really help us out." The Gators, who are 10-2 for the season and 4-2 in the SEC, have another tough weekend ahead. The team travels to play No. 3 Georgia on Friday, and then heads to No. 25 Tennessee on Sunday. UF returns to Gainesville on April 8 to take on Mississippi State. -KATE CAVANNA SATURDAY, APRIL 24-9PM CITIZENS FIELD fwoid.Rd.& aiAek.)

Sports FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org BASEBALL UF knows slacking off won't help defeat Kentucky tIm Casey/ Alligator Jeff Corsaletti and the Gators look to make it four in a row when they host Kentucky this weekend. By TIM CASEY Alligator Writer tcasey@alligator.org Fresh off of a convincing victory over in-state rival Florida State, the UF baseball team won't have any time to savor its success. The players went right back to work Thursday as if they hadn't played the night before. Freshman Jared Kubin persevered through practice, then lingered for more batting practice after his teammates left. Fellow freshman Brian Augenstein tossed a bullpen session with Coach Pat McMahon. It should be safe to say that the Gators (20-7, 3-3 Southeastern Conference) aren't about to suffer a post-rival letdown. when Kentucky (14-9, 0-5 SEC) visits this weekend. "I think you'll see an offensive mirror in a lot of neat ways," McMahon said. "The challenges for the weekend for us are obviously how well we accept the challenges to defend against the short game, to defend against the running, and see how good of a job we can do in controlling that part of the running game, so that it doesn't result in bigrun innings." ,, The mirror he speaks of is his own creation. Kentucky is coached by John Cohen, a former hitting coach under McMahon during the 2002 and 2003 seasons. Cohen played for Mississippi State from 1987-89 while McMahon was an assistant coach for the Bulldogs. "John is one of the outstanding young coaches in the country today," McMahon said. "We have a very close association. One, as a former player, then as a working associate as a coach here at the University of Florida, where he did an outstanding job for us, and as a friend. Those are things that are very special to me." Cohen knows what to expect from McMahon, but sometimes that isn't enough. "I think you'll see an offensive mirror in a lot of neat ways." Pat McMahon UF baseball coach "I have a pretty good understanding of what Pat's trying to do," Cohen said. "But, the thing about baseball that's different than a lot of other sports is there isn't any specific offensive tendency you can look at. It's not like in football where you can look at game filn and see that the other team is running the wishbone or something." Cohen definitely won't have problems identifying UF's players, though. "The other thing that is really kind of neat for me is I recruited several guys here that are out there playing now," Cohen said. "I saw them in high school and I've seen them progress. Adam Davis, Justin Tordi, Matt LaPorta -most of those hitters. Brandon McArthur -I was in his home when he committed to UF. Brian Leclerc -I recruited him too. It was fun to be with those guys. Great parents, great kids, it was a good group." Cohen attributes much of his success as a player and as a coach to his relationship with McMahon. "I've known Pat since I was 19 years old," Cohen said. "He's been like a brother to me. I think Pat bringing me to Florida and giving me an opportunity to come here has really helped me in my coaching career. I've leaked so much from Pat. The way Pat treats people, and the way he handles young men, is just inspirational. I think Florida is very, very fortunate to have him." McMahon predicts future success for Cohen -just not this weekend. "He's going to do an outstanding job at the University of Kentucky," McMahon said. "They've made a tremendous cminitment in every way to the program." Kentucky has won just one of the last 17 meetings between the two teams. This season, the Wildcats are winless in four road games, while the Gators are 18-5 at home. Billy Grace, Kentucky's leading hitter, knows his team faces a difficult challenge this weekend. "We're coming off of a couplegame win streak," Grace said. "We're looking forward to trying to really get after it this weekend and try to compete." Grace may be sidelined with a wrist injury suffered from sliding. Brian Hastings, Kentucky's other standout hitter, has a similar injury that will require surgery today, Cohen said. Kentucky has won two consecutive games, including a 12-11 slugfest against Louisville on Wednesday. "The Kentucky-Louisville thing, it's a lot like the UF-Florida State rivalry," Cohen said. "The-highlight in Kentucky is the basketball part, the highlight here is the football paii, but they get into it in all sports. It's neat to have those rivalry games." The Wildcats will start freshman pitchers on Friday and Saturday. Right-hander Scott Green (1-1, 4.15) gets the nod Friday against UF's Bryan Ball (5-1, 1.70). Saturday features lefty Andrew Albers (3-1, 2.88) against UF's Tommy Boss (4-1, 3.93). On Sunday, Kentucky will send junior Kalen Gibson (4-1, 3.10) to the mound against Gators' starter Alan Home (1-2, 5.67). Halfway through spring, Meyer's Gators are a totally different team A fter whizzing past the halfway point of its 2005 spring practice schedule, the UF football team is already noticeably different -the players practice differently, they carry themselves differently, they even talk differently under the new regime. Coach Urban Meyer's arrival has brought legions of Gators fans to each and every practice. His laid-back nature allows for fans and media alike to sit and relax while watching him groom his team. Then again, his intense persona on the practice field sometimes leaves parents searching for earmuffs for their children. Last spring, Ron Zook pushed the idea of an up-tempo approach and intense practices. Camp Meyer would run laps around Camp Zook. Zook avoided singling out individual players at all costs. Meyer holds each player accountable for his own actions, and he has no problem expressing his displeasure through the media. Zook expected steady improvement. Meyer demands immediate results. But enough about the differences. It's not really fair to compare a three-time national coach of the year with, well, a glorified assistant coach. Meyer has said that his offense is not complicated. It only contains about 10-15 core plays, and its success is based mostly on Brian Shaffer variety in pre-snap Shaf At Home formation and movebshaffer@alligator.org ment. All of the plays are in, and now it's time to work on the precision. The new coaching staff is constantly conducting personnel evaluations, trying to decipher the hand it has to play. This scrimmage is another audition for those looking for playing time. Forget about the offense you saw a week ago, because you're going to get a lot more. Expect crisper execution, sharper overall play and increased intensity. The offense that takes the field on Saturday will be better thAn it was last week. And the one that suits up for the Orange and Blue game will be better than this week's. Meyer is not impressed by steady improvement or encouraged by correctable mistakes. His goal is to take a 7-5 team and mold them into a national champion, one practice at a time.

20, ALLIGATOR N FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 2005 Gators split up STAFF REPORT Since parts of the Florida Relays were canceled last weekend because of rain, the UF track and field teams went scrambling for some action. Luckily, they found some. Some of the men will take part in the Yellow Jacket Invitational on Saturday, while a few of the women will participate in the USF Invitational today. The men will take all but their distance runners to the Yellow Jacket Invitational at Georgia Tech. The Gators will face stiff competition, including several teams that finished among the top 20 at the NCAA Indoor Championships, including Auburn, Florida State, Michigan, South Carolina and Tennessee. Events are set to begin at 8 a.m. The women's team will send its pole-vaulters to the USF Invitational beginning at 3 p.m. on Friday. The group is led by senior Chandra Lacombe, who was named Southeastern Conference Field Athlete of the Week on Wednesday, courtesy of an NCAA regional -qualifying mark of 3.97m/1300.25 last week at the Florida Relays. The men's squad will compete as a whole at the prestigious Texas Relays April 7-9 in Austin, while the rest of the women's team will enjoy a weekend off before traveling to the Ole Miss Invitational on April 9.

FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 21 MEN'S AND WOMEN'S SW61MNG AND DIVING Truy: sb rmers rnustwi focus on their key&, events By BRIAN STEELE Alligator Writer Everyone's on their own now. Just like a fledgling being pushed out of -its nest, the UF swim teams have only themselves to worry about. After battling through an entire season based on team competitions, several UF swimmers will head to the World Championships starting today and running through April 7 in Indianapolis. It won't matter how the Gators perform as a team. All that matters is how each individual finishes, as they look to swim their way into this summer's World Championships and World University Games teams. This will also be UF's first opportunity to post qualifying times for the 2008 Olympic Trials. "It's. more of an individual performance than a team performance," Coach Gregg Troy said. "There're just one or two key events for each swimmer. We want to have good swims in the morning, and they take two athletes for each event." The Gators will bring 15 total swimmers to the meet. However, 10 of those 15 are either sophomores or freshmen; only three are seniors. While this lack of bigmeet experience may be a factor, Troy'has a different plan. "[Choosing who comes] doesn't have to do with age," Troy said. "[It had to do with] who could make it, do well, and who needed experience. [With our conference], they're real exTroy perienced. It is different, but it's all still racing." One younger swimmer, freshman Natalie Pike, knows her teammates' support will not be there as much as it has previously this season. But, her teammates have instilled her with plenty of spirit, so Pike is not particularly concerned about the World Trials. "Everyone has helped tremendously," Pike said. "I came from a small club team, and these girls have been amazing." While Troy said the NCAA Championships and the Southeastern Conference Championships have been an emotional drain, there may actually be a positive side to entering more grueling meets. "[The World Trials] are certainly important,just not the same stress factor as NCY*As," Troy said. "It's a little more relaxed setting, everyone's not concerned about every event. You have got to be relaxed because the support is not as'great. There was no time between meets. The men just had to go, and wgmen had only about one extra week." Pike agrees with her coach, saying her stress level has actually dropped. "We are a lot more relaxed," she said. "A lot was riding on NCAAs. We're still very focused, and it will help everyone go fast. I'm just excited to go and be a part of the team." Georgia next in tri of re ent ess ponents for UF IN AFTER PLAYING THE NO. 11 TEAM, THE GATORS NOW FACE NO. 12. By WILLIS JACOBSON Alligator Writer The No. 13 UF softball team will go back on the road this weekend, this time looking to reclaim its position on top of the conference standings. Coming off a week in which they lost two of three games against No. 11 Alabama, the Gators (28-8, 7-2 Southeastern Conference) will travel to Athens, Ga. for a three-game series with No. 12 Georgia (31-7,12-0 SEC). The teams will play a doubleheader on Saturday and conclude the series on Sunday. Playing a talented team like Georgia, who is defending a 19-game win streak, immediately after a tough team like Alabama is nightmare material for a coach trying to devise a game plan. UF coach Karen -Johns, however, says that such a scenario is common in SEC play. "It's pretty status quo in our conference," Johns said. "It's not like it's something new. It's kind of like women's basketball, where every game you're playing a ranked team, it seems like, and if they're not ranked they're close to being ranked. It's a pretty competitive league, so I don't think that's anything we get too high or low about. We just know we have to play Georgia now and we've got to be ready." The Gators pitchers will have their work cut out for them as they try and shut down the Georgia offense, which has outscored its opponents 132-17 during its win streak. The Bulldogs are also second in the conference in team batting average. "We started preparing for [Georgia] a little bit [on Wednesday] right after the game," Johns said. "We talked a little bit about some things that we have to do -to prepare ourselves. I'll start doing the homework and have a report ready for them for the bus ride." UF first baseman Melissa Zick will look to continue her career-high eight-game hit streak. She is batting .500 during the streak, a stark contrast to the rest of the team's combined .307 batting average over those eight games. Zick said that she and her teammates are excited to get back out and have another series against a fellow top-15team. "We're really psyched to go and beat them on their home field," Zick said. "If we play like we can, I think we'll do all right." Nick West / Alligator start UF pitcher Mandy Schuerman hurls a pitch in Thursday's Alabama game. The-Gators face another ranked opponent this weekend when they play No. 12 Georgia. Saturday's doubleheader will begin start at 1 p.m. All games will be played at at 1 p.m. and will air live on Cox Sports. the Georgia Soccer/Softball Complex. UF Sunday's series-ending game will also leads the all-time series 19-11. WOMEN'S GOLF Brilvefs-HilintOn aiready preparing vea uo 0 ossa By NICK ZACCARDI Alligator Writer UF women's golf coach Jill Briles-Hinton is taking a unique approach to this weekend's final regular season tournament, the Bryan National Collegiate. Rather than prepping for the upcoming Southeastern Conference Championships, Briles-Hinton wants the No. 15 Gators to gain experience for the 2006 postseason by playing the par-72 Champions Course at Bryan Park. "They're [Wake Forest] hosting -regionals there in 2006," Briles-Hinton said. "That would be the reason why we're going there.'" Briles-Hinton has more reasons for traveling to Browns Summit, N.C. for the 17-team tournament -practicing and scouting. In its last five stroke play tournaments, UF has toyed with five different lineups. Only freshman Tiffany Chudy has played in each tournament. "Would I like to have the team solidified by now? Yes," BrilesHinton said. "I would have liked to have it solidified earlier in the year." "Our team is deep enough now and strong enough now that we can [qualify]." Jill Briles-Hinton UF women's golf coach Depending on what happens through Sunday, Briles-Hinton still may not have a set roster for the postseason. The seventh-year coach expects qualifying for the SEC Championships starting April 15, and continuing to determine her rotation. "Our team is deep enough now and strong enough now that we can [qualify]," Briles-Hinton said. Whitney Myers provided UF's bright spot during qualification, shooting rounds of 78, 72 and 76 at the University Golf Course. The freshman's collective score was nine shots lower than her three-round total at the Gator Invitational the first weekend of March. "Sometimes that happens when you have a long break," Briles-Hinton said. "She's learning new shots. She's opening her mind to hit new shots and she's doing super." The five golfers who have survived this week will get a good look at SEC competition in today's first round. Andrea Vander Lende, Camila Gonzalez, Sandra Gal, Myers and Chudy will each be paired with golfers from conference idvals South Carolina and Vanderbilt. No. 3 Auburn, No. 4 Georgia and No. 10 Tennessee round out the six-team SEC contingent at the Bryan National. "We have three seasons: fall, the first part of spring, and then we play our last four events," Briles-Hinton said. "This is" just the very first step for us to finish strong in nationals."

Sports FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org Former UF-coach Billy Donovan talks to Rick Pitino, his mentor, about being the head coach of Kentucky. Like Donovan leaving UF to coach Kentucky, Pitino left Kentucky and later coached at rival Louisville. UF fan: 'Donovan's a sell-out and a punk' DONOVAN, from page 1 Slive's comments, but several members of the UF men's basketball were seen mulling around the basketball practice facility early Friday morning. "We won those games legit," senior forward David Lee said. "Everyone makes it seem like it's so ridiculous that we beat Kentucky. Gee, maybe it's because we're a good team." Several players had other issues to consider. "I love Coach Donovan," freshman forward Corey Brewer said. "Now that he's going to Kentucky, I'll have to strongly consider transferring." Al Horford also said he'd consider a transfer to Kentucky. Everyone else on the team, though stunned, said they would remain at U. "I may even stay in school now," said junior guard Anthony Roberson, wh6 was considering a jump to the NBA. "I liked Donovan, he was a cool guy; but he really held me back. I want to dunk. People don't think I have ups, but that's only because Coach Donovan told me not to be flashy and not to dunk, let D Lee and Brewer be the high-flyers. Hopefully Foley will-bring in a coach who will let me fly." Fans split The Alligator went on a frantic search to find fans early Friday morning, and several people on the street were given the news of Donovan's departure to a mixed reaction. "I think this is crap," junior Terry O'Toole said. "Florida basketball has unlimited potential if the right guys come in. I don't get what's so great about Kentucky? Who would want to live in the middle of hick-ville anyway? Donovan's a sell-out and a punk." Other fans backed Donovan, saying it was too good of an opportunity to pass up. "Kentucky's always one of the best teams in the country," senior Katie Gonzalez said. "We should be, thanking Donovan for all his hard work and wishing him luck at Kentucky. Hopefully we'll get a good coach who can beat Donovan next season." Some other fans echoed Donovan's remark that Florida is truly a football school. "Who's Billy Donovan?" freshman Tom Guthrie said. "I didn't even know we had a basketball team." The aftermath Now Foley must go on an all-, out search to find a new coach, just months after convincing football coach Urban Meyer to join the Gators. "All I wanted to do was enjoy a Steely Dan show. I never expected to have to deal with this," Foley said. "We're a big time program and we'll land a big time coach. The Billy Donovan era will be an afterthought -this team will start winning national championships under the next coach." Donovan wasn't so sure. "It'll be tough for the University of Florida, I realize that," Donovan said. "I'll make sure to go easy on them next season." Billy backstabs UF, awaits UK pressure S o Billy "March is my least favorite month" Donovan decided to leave UF for Kentucky. Can you blame him? Two words: Ashley Judd. (UF has many fans hotter than her, but whatever.) But, seriously, let's look at the history. UF finally has one Southeastern Conference Tournament championship; Kentucky has 25. Kentucky has seven national championships; UF has zero. Hmm. Which school would you want to coach at? The fact of the matter is Billy D is not an idiot, despite what you may think after 324,532 consecutive firstor second-round losses. Anyone would've taken this offer. Loyalty means nothing anymore. See Rick Pitino -who stabbed Kentucky fans in the back by going to rival Louisville. Not close enough for you? How about the good ol' ball coach Steven Orr Spurrier coaching for another SEC school? In the SEC East, no less? If Spurrier can do it, there's no reason Donovan can't. Also, don't you think Donovan is sick of all the UF fans whining about how he can't Ian Fisher get it done in the postseason? Extra lannings The whiny fans have a good iisher@aiiigator.org point, but I'm sure it's getting old to Billy. He doesn't need to hear your crap; he gets enough from us, the media. Here's what I've realized, though. All this NCAA Tournament losing was planned. Billy needed a good excuse to get out of Gainesville. He was trying to get fired so he could leave, but Athletics Director Jeremy Foley wasn't hearing any of it. Donovan. kept doing just well enough to keep his job despite not trying to. So he finally decided to pull his own plug. Billy could've won all these postseason games if he tried. But wanting to go to Kentucky isn't the pertinent question here. The question that needs to be asked is, "Why the hell would Kentucky want Billy?" Sure Donovan's been a good coach at UF, but it's different in Lexington. Different as in the only thing there is Kentucky basketball. They hardly even have a football team, which is something people care about a lot more in Gainesville. The pressure to win is going to be insane. Thinkabout it this way: Billy hasn't been able to handle the. little pressure put on him at UF come Tournament time. (OK, maybe that one season, but that seems like ages ago.) Billy is going from a big fish in a small pond (the O'Connell Center, which rarely fills up) to a small fish in the biggest pond (Rupp Arena, always packed with the rabid Kentucky faithful.) And there's only down to go at Kentucky. Billy better be lucky.
