TALLAHASSEE
Delegation brings student issues to Capitol
By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM
Alligator Staff Writer
jvanl@alligator.org
TALLAHASSEE UP administrators
and Student Government leaders descended
on the Capitol on Wednesday as the Florida
Legislature hosted its annual UF Legislative
Day.
The UF team, led by President Bernie
Machen and several university trustees, was
welcomed at a session of the Florida Senate.
The star honoree to lawmakers, however,
was Tampa resident George Edmondson,
better known as Mr. Two-Bits. Senators recog-
nized Edmondson for his 56 years of urging
Gators to get up and holler.
During the day, UP student leaders includ-
ing Student.Body President Jamal Sowell and I
Accent Chairman David Buchalter met with Bush
Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, whose proposed
"Academic Freedom Bill of Rights" includes a neutral basis."
provision governing how
SG funds can be allocated.
Sowell said the hour-
long meeting was produc-
tive and that he explained
to Baxley how the bill could
restrict SG spending.
, The bill requires that
student activity fees "be
distributed on a viewpoint-
Sowell said that while SG already works
hard to do just that, students have worried
that writing the policy into state law could
cause universities to take funding powers
away from elected student leaders.
Student Body Vice President Jennifer Puckett
said Baxley didn't appear to understand how
student leaders fund campus groups.
Puckett said Baxley said he assumed the
process was anti-democratic from reports of

Handling of rapes in question
UF student alleges unfair
treatment by officials:
By MEGAN SEERY
Alligator Staff Writer
mseery@alligator.org
Some UF students question
how the university is handling
sexual assault cases, and a UF
student who says she was a
victim of rape agrees.
The alleged victim said she
was "extremely disappointed"
with how Student Judicial
Affairs handled
Public her case at a
Safety Tuesday hearing.
"It was taken
very lightly," she
told the Alligator. "Now he
(the alleged rapist) is just walk-
ing around like, 'Whatever.'"
Alcohol use and little evi-
dence largely made the hearing
a matter of "he said, she said,"
the alleged victim said.
Judicial Affairs officials rec-
ommended that the accused be
placed on conduct probation
and attend counseling, she
said. If Dean of Students Gene
Zdziarski approves the recom-
mendation, the accused will
not be allowed to participate in
student organizations or intra-
mural sports.
"This is too light of a pun-
ishment," the alleged victim
said, noting thaf the accused
already did not participate in
those activities. "This will not
make any difference in his
life."
Laura Kalt, an Alachua
County victim's advocate, said
some UF rape victims feel safer
seeking aid outside the halls of
the university.
"They can be afraid of
running into acquaintances on
campus," she said. "Victims are
less likely to see someone they
know in the (Alachua County)
health department."
County statistics suggest
that Kalt is correct.
Kalt's office, the Victim
Services and Rape Crisis
Center, counseled 18 UF stu-
dents in 2002, 19 in 2003 and
six for the first half of 2004.
University Police depart-
ment figures, however, show
that four students reported
sexual battery in 2002 and six
in 2003, according to its Web
site. The data for 2004 has not
been updated.
While Kalt couldn't com-
ment on how UPD responds
to sexual assaults, she said that
victims suffer emotional stress
and can easily be intimidated
by authority.
"Police are there to inves-
tigate allegations," Kalt said.
"Some legitimate questions
may add insult to injury be-
cause the victim feels like the
police are suggesting that they
have an ulterior motive."
Although many police
detectives are "wonderful,"
not all are as sensitive as they
should be, she said.
"I can't tell victims that the
cops will necessarily be sup-
portive," Kalt said. "Reporting
a crime is not always an em-
powering experience."
Members of the UFP Campus
National Organization for
Women recently accused uni-
versity police of not taking sex-
ual assault victims seriously.
"Generally, women are not
believed when we say we've
been raped," Campus NOW
President Kelly Mangan said.
"The university's idea of
watching your drink and look-

GREEK AFFAIRS
Fraternity faces charges for alleged hazing incident
By KYLIE CRAIG
Alligator Writer
kcraig@alligator.org
Kappa Alpha Fraternity faces
hazing charges after allegedly in-
structing three pledges to steal signs
from a local housing complex.
William Page, Kirby Ingram
and Cory McFadden, all Kappa
Alpha pledges, were approached
by a University Police officer after-
pulling into the service drive of the
Kappa Alpha house, situated at 5A
Fraternity Row, on March 18, ac-
cording to police reports.
Page's gray pickup truck report-
edly was driving down Fraternity
Row, its flatbed containing several
large signs with posts, concrete and
dirt on the end.
Reports state the pledges told po-
lice they were instructed by Kappa
Alpha members to steal the signs
for for a party the
next day.
... ...': Several small
signs, also for the
.. party, were re-
S '- moved from the
house as well.
"This has
Bullins been the most
typical type of
hazing we have seen the type
of scavenger hunt activities," said
Chris Bullins, director of Greek Life.
He also said fraternity presi-
dents, as well as their new member
educators, are required to attend
workshops where they are warned
against using hazing practices.
"They learn which outcomes
should and should not take place,
and we make sure new member
education is in compliance with uni-
versity expectations," he said.
. Kappa Alpha officials accepted
responsibility for members' actions
at a Wednesday hearing. A sanction-
ing hearing soon will take place to
determine their punishment.
Page's truck and the signs re-
trieved were all taken to the east
compound at. the UPD station,
where they will be held until the
owners of the signs are notified.
Kappa Alpha President Dan
Boda did not return phone calls
seeking comment.
UF health program pushes students to get into shape
* THE PROGRAM IS BASED ON THE
TV SHOW "THE BIGGEST LOSER."
By SARAH CARBALLO
Alligator Contributing.Writer
The challenge is not to win but to lose.
The Greater Gator Challenge -is a
health program that started this semester.
Participating UF students learn to build an ex-
ercise-and-meal plan they cin use to develop
healthy lifestyles.
Though based on the NBC show "The
Biggest Loser," in which the contestant who
lost the most weight won $250,000, there is no
trophy or prize at stake in the local version.
"We were thinking about doing goals, but
with goals you have successes and failures,"
said Nick Clayton, coordinator for strength
and conditioning at UF. "It then becomes about
body image, and that's not what it's about."
Clayton said the idea for the Greater Gator
Challenge stemmed from "The Biggest Loser"
because the show was so bad and portrayed
weight loss so negatively that he wanted to do
something to counter it.
Of the 150 students who applied, six were
chosen. Each student was assigned a coach
who was a graduate assistant, program as-
sistant or coordinator in the Division of
Recreational Sports.
"One of the things we looked at was wheth-
er they had injuries because they wouldn't be
able to keep up with the physical demands,"
Clayton said. "We needed people that were
going to be better-served."
Students were placed on an eight-week be-
ginner program, consisting of circuit training
and cardiovascular exercise, that will end the
last week of school. UF nutritionist Melanie
Brede met with participants once a week to
talk about their progress.
Clayton said the students are not placed on a
strict diet but instead learn how to eat balanced
meals and determine when they are full.
"They are learning how to make healthy
choices because it is a long-term process," he
said. "We are trying to get them to enjoy their
workout-program, not bum them out."
According to the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, the only way to lose weight
safely and keep it off requires long-term
changes in daily eating and exercise habits
The FDA recommends losing about a
.pound a week. One pound of fat is equal to
3,500 calories, so a reduction of 500 calories per
day will achieve this goal.
"We were thinking about doing
goals, but with goals you have
successes and failures. It then
becomes about body image, and
that's not what it's about."
Nick Clayton
UF strength and conditioning
fitness coordinator
UF journalism sophomore Sara Cunnard, a
participant in the program, calls the meal plan
"intuitive eating." Students rate their fullness
on a scale of 6ne to 10, five being nteuitr.l and
anything under it being hungry.
Cunnard said the coaches "run [them]
ragged," btit she appreciates the motivation.
"I can personally notice a, huge change in
the way I feel every day, the way I carry myself
and the way my clothes fit," she said. "I am
definitely pleased."
Economics junior and challenge participant
Justin Wortley, 21, agreed that the coaches are
encouraging and assure him of success.
"They encourage me that my goals can be
reached if I give it my all," Wortley said.
His goal is to develop a healthy lifestyle he
can maintain himself once the program is over.
He does not want anything too strict, he said.
"I don't think it's that hard to be moti-
vated," he said. "I.keep thinking of what'will
happen at the end. I just go for my goal. It
helps me a lot."
Wortley said he and his fellow participants
feel the program is going to benefit them in
the long run. He said he thinks it is a great
program-for people who lack motivation but
want to improve and change their lifestyles.
UF students can get advice on starting a
workout plan by contacting the Division of
Recreational Sports. Clayton said all students
are entitled to two free personal training
sessions per semester and can make appoint-
ments to get free fitness profiles done.

Main Street worker dies
Failing to see a fellow construction
worker, a Lake City man drove over him
with a dump truck early Wednesday;
At approximately 7:40 a.m., Justin
Garland, 25, was placing cones in a south-
bound lane on South Main Street near the
3500 block as Fred Lowery, 39, began to
back up a Mack truck in the other lane.
The truck, moving at "a very slow rate
of speed," knocked Garland to the ground
and then drove over him, Gainesville Police
spokesman Keith Kameg said.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Gainesville Police ruled the incident an
accident. GPD considers Garland's death
as the third traffic fatality in Gainesville this
year. It is the fifth this year in the region.
VIDEO GAME SPURS ABUSE CHARGE: A lo-
cal woman was arrested for child neglect,
and her 14-year-old relative was arrested
for aggravated child abuse Tuesday.
Ethel Mae Edwards, 47, went to work
Sunday afternoon, leaving her grandsons,
ages two and four, with a young male rela-
tive for about eight hours, reports state.
After playing a video game, the teenager
and the youngest grandson started "acting
out" scenes from the game Electronic
Arts' "Def Jam Fight for NY," Kameg said.
The teen repeatedly threw the victim-
onto the floor and struck him in the face
with a fist and a wooden stake borrowed
from a campaign sign, the report states.
"We're almost in shock at the police
department that the 2-year-old wasn't hurt
any more than he was," Kameg said.
The teen allegedly told Edwards over
the phone that the victim sustained a swol-
len eye after running into a bathtub faucet.
But when Edwards returned home, she
discovered the child also had a bloody and
bruised lip, scrapes across his face and fin-
gernail scratches on his chest, stomach and
legs, as well as a bruised spleen.
Although Edwards treated the child's
injuries with ice and witch hazel, she failed
to seek medical attention for him. It was
only after the mother returned two days
later that he was rushed to the hospital.
Edwards is being held in the Alachua
County Jail. The teenager is being held at
the county Juvenile Detention Center.

Marine conference starts
* OF SPECIAL INTEREST ARE
SPECIES NATIVE TO FLORIDA.
By SKYLER SMITH
Alligator Writer
ssmith@alligator.org
The health of Florida's marine mam-
mals will be the topic of a four-day con-
ference beginning today at the UF Hilton
Hotel and Conference Center.
"We wanted to have a forum ... so that
people from all over the country interested
in marine health can exchange ideas," said
UF veterinary medicine professor and con-
ference organizer Roger Reep.
The College of Veterinary Medicine,
the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission and the Whitney Laboratory
for Marine Bioscience are sponsors.
Presentations at the conference will
address, among other topics, the present
and future health of manatees, bottlenose
.dolphins, pygmy sperm whales and north-
ern right whales all species indigenous
to Florida waters.
Speakers from such organizations as the
Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute
and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research
Institute will be among attendees.
The late registration fee is $125 for UF
students and $200 for the general public,
according to the conference's Web site.
Late registration takes place today from
5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the UF Hilton Hotel and
Conference Center, located west of campus
directly across Southwest 13th Street.
Lunch will be provided for all attend-
ees on both Friday and Saturday, and final
summaries of all the conference speeches
will be presented Sunday morning.
Reep said he encourages the public to
attend any of the scheduled
On lectures but said he thinks
CampUS Saturday's lecture on mana-
tee-related boat safety will
be of particular interest to locals.
"It addresses the issue of how do you
have boats and manatees together in
Florida without killing all the manatees,"
Reep said.
The Saturday session will include
speakers from both the boating and mana-
tee activist communities. Individual ad-
mission can be purchased for that lecture
only at a cost of $40.
This year marks the second time the
conference has been held.
At the first conference in 2002, Reep
said, about 150 people attended; he .added
that he expects about the same number of
attendees this year.
"The marine-mammal community is
not that large. These are 100 key people,"
he said of the conference's attendees.
All proceeds will go toward the cost of
the event.

Backward bill
Student 'freedom' would
cost professors their own
I think everyone will agree that college students
shouldn't be persecuted for disagreeing with a profes-
sor.
Students shouldn't be afraid of expressing their own
views because they see others who do so receive penalties
to their grades.
"Academic freedom," as the title of Rep. Baxley's bill
puts it, should be protected at all costs.
True academic freedom, however, respects the rights of
professors to express their views just as much as it does
those of students.
Were this bill merely a mechanism through which
students could seek redress for the actions of intolerant
professors who unfairly reduced their grade out of spite,
it would be acceptable though ultimately superfluous,
considering already-existent university policies to coun-
teract such occurrences.
This bill would do far more.
Not only could students sue over unfairly lowered
grades, but they also could sue any time they felt singled
out for "public ridicule."
An extreme example of this is the restrictions that the
bill puts on the use of the Socratic method in the class-
room. Under the bill, students called upon by professors
to defend their beliefs in class could sue.
Frankly, any student who isn't willing to defend their
beliefs in an open discussion shouldn't be complaining
about being forced to swallow beliefs they don't like. If
you want someone to take your beliefs seriously, then
you'd better be willing to fight for them.
And if a professor doesn't take your beliefs seriously, so
what? You get through the class, give all "Poor" marks on
the teacher evaluation form and go on with your life.
Professors also should not be forced to teach views they
do not view as valid. If a biology teacher does not want to
discuss intelligent design in order to provide a counter to
evolution to use the example that keeps getting tossed
around then he or she should not have to.
It is not the job of professors to teach every existing
theory on every single topic to students. It is their job to
teach the ones they feel are necessary after their years and
years of study in the field.
Professor discussing a controversial subject such as hu-
man development certainly would be remiss if they didn't
mention one of the most popular theories creationism, in
this case but taking legal action against them would be
blowing the situation way out of proportion.
If students doesn't like the theories presented in class,
they can use the thinking and research skills they learn in
college to find alternatives.
Students need to grow up, and Baxley and the other
legislators need to give them an opportunity to do so.
You have a right to complain because your paper on
why creationism is better than evolution comes back with
a failing grade and the words "Bite me, Christian boy!" are
written across the top in red pen.
You don't have a right to sue because some mean old
professor hurt your feelings by making you look silly in
front of a bunch of people whom you wanted to think you
were cool.

UF keeps records out of the sunshine
federal law rightly protects the privacy of Social
Security numbers, grades and other information of
university students.
But UP officials have used the Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act of 1974 as a broad shield against complying
with requests for public records.
In some cases, the university has blocked information that
they had given the Alligator just last year.
Following March's Student Government elections, for ex-
ample, the Alligator requested copies of the sign-in sheets at
polling locations. The request was denied due to federal pri-
.vacy concerns, even though the only information that would
be .on the sheets was who voted and where.
That same information for any resident voting in local,
state or federal elections in Florida would be open to the
public.
Yet, according to UF, SG does not have to comply with
those requests.
What is unacceptable is that the university has no qualms
about releasing students' names or privacy concerns when it
is to its benefit.
Each year, UF sends out hundreds of press releases and
other information to the media announcing breakthroughs
in research, award or scholarship recipients and other out-
standing student accomplishments.
Just this week, UF student Danny DePaz's name made it
into The Washington Post in an Associated Press story, but
not because he won an award or a Rhodes Scholarship.
A rabid bat bit him, and University Police released his
name.
If UF and its General Counsel's office are going to take
such a firm and broad view.of FERPA and its, privacy pro-
tections, then their standard should apply to all information
released to the media, just not that which may damage the
university and its student-run gov-
ernment.
Should UF not publicize Joseph
Wilson and Edwin Homan for win-
ning Goldwater Scholarships?
Should the university remove
Dwayne Student Body President-elect Joe
Robinson Goldberg's name from the voting
Editorial Notebook record of meetings of UF's Board
drdbinson@alligator.org of Trustees, which helps set tuition
rates?
Should the University Athletic
Association remove the names of Matt Walsh, David Lee and
other basketball players from their jerseys and press kits?
The answer is no. That is neither practical nor should it
be necessary. The media, and henceforth our community,
should know about student research, scholarship and ac-
complishments.
On the other hand, the press also has the obligation to
be a watchdog of the universityadministration and SG and
to give a full account of the university and its operations,
whether it be negative or positive.
The university's General Counsel's office will not change
its policy unless the press and other First Amendment groups
fight to keep Florida's public records in the sunshine.
If not, we at UF will face situations similar to those
faced at Manatee Community College in Bradenton, where
administrators redacted .the names of Student Allocations
Committee members from meeting records due to so-called
.FERPA restrictions.
SG controls approximately $11 million of student money
at UF. Students have a right to know who is spending their
money.

Letters to the Editor
Anti-elitist push would make UF mediocre
Editor Though well written, I find your
Tuesday article to be a bit strange. I don't fault
you for anything you said; in fact, I find your
article to be refreshingly objective. What I do
fault, however, is the we-must-include-ev-
eryone attitude, which, in my opinion, is just
another way of saying let's-be-mediocre-so-
we-can-make-mediocre-people-feel-good-too.
In my opinion, one of the worst problems
in America is that everyone thinks that they're
important. On a "micro" level, such as with
family and friends, this probably is true. But
on a "macro" level, such as with society, it's
not (necessarily). So, that means some people
start complaining that UF is too elitist or too
exclusive or too expensive, when in reality
there are at least twice as many colleges and
universities now as there were when UF was
founded. The number probably is several
multitudes more than double, but you get my
point.
I cannot stand those persons who would
rather cause success to .stagnate than fan the
embers of progression and recognize the sig-
nificance of higher research. Sure, there's the
pride of being the best in the field a pride
some dislike because of envy but there also'
are societal rewards from excellence that need
to be fostered for the betterment of our state's
communities.
In truth, if the less-advantaged but none-
theless equally-intelligent are not

Making professors fear lawsuits harms the learning process
r e first article regarding the "Academic Bill of Rights"
says students would be able to sue teachers who present
and force a view upon their students. The example given
was that of a professor teaching evolution and making kids
- even religious ones learn it. A student who expressed his
view of creationism and then felt slighted by the professor
when he continued to teach evolution could then sue the
professor. I don't believe any such suit would -stand up in a
court of law, but the fact that our elected officials are trying to
tell our tenured professors what they can and cannot teach our
students is out of place and a waste of our "money.
Rep. Dennis Baxley (R-Ocala) is writing this bill based on
10 or 20 students who complained their grades have been af-
fected by what they call "liberal" professors. The reason this is
a waste of our money is that there is already a system in place
to handle this type of thing: If you feel you've been slighted by
a professor or have a general problem with something that's
happened in class, you may file a grievance with the university.
Then, they take you to a room full of people in suits who make
a decision based on what happened. Conservatives should be
Chris-Singleton happy with that, because when's
Speaking Out the last time any of us saw a "left-
ist extremist" wearing a suit?
Rep. Baxley's speaker
on the matter, David Horowitz, told the Florida House of
Representatives, "This bill is not to start lawsuits." Perhaps
that's not the intention of the law, but giving old guys erections
was not the intended purpose of Viagra.
The purpose of college is not to learn a skill; that's what a
trade school is for. College is intended to turn us into adults -
adults who can think and act on their own accord. Professors
are granted tenure because they have the ability to put forth
viewpoints unimaginable to most people sometimes of-
fensive ones. Once you've been exposed to a new view, you're
supposed to think about and see how it applies to you and the
world. Tenure is supposed to take away a professor's fear of
action from outside groups and authorities. Our professors are
some of the brightest minds we have in this country, and we
have to allow them to let their minds work and tell us what
happens. If not, we're limiting our marketplace of ideas.
If you can't listen to a liberal professor speak and not get
offended, maybe you're not grown up enough to be in a higher
learning institution. I'm not saying those professors are correct,
but you should be able to realize when they are off base and
run to the authorities.
Horowitz goes on to classify students as "kids" and says,
basically, that we can't think or figure things out on our own.
The argument here seems to break down two ways: Baxley
and people who support this bill believe students are ignorant,
sponge-brained apes unable to dismiss what the guy in the
Hawaiian shirt and sandals just said. Others believe the uni-
versity should be a place where all viewpoints have a place and
can be heard because, if you're in college, you should be able to
comprehend arid dismiss ridiculousness. If you believe we're
all ignorant, sponge-brained apes, then you have a superiority
complex, plain and simple.
This bill is wrong, and Rep. Baxley is an "ass, bigot and a
slew of other names" if he's using our mental futures as a po-
litical maneuver.

Time is now to act on promises to end genocide in the world
Yesterday marked 11 years since the be-
ginning of the 100-day-long genocide in
the African nation of Rwanda. During
those 100 'days, ethnic conflict spawned by
a violent colonial history led to the' murder
of nearly one million people. While this day
demands remembrance, this year, sadly, it de-
mands more in the way of immediate action as
another African nation finds itself in the midst
of what can only be described as genocide.
The world said "never again" after the hor-
rors of Europe, Cambodia and, most recently,
Rwanda. Now, as genocide is once again oc-
curring this time in Sudan the interna-
tional community finds itself witness to the
kinds of crimes against humanity it vowed to
prevent so many times before.
During the past two-and-a-half years, a
militia-led and government-backed campaign
of ethnic cleansing has killed 400,000 civilians
in Sudan's Darfur region and has displaced
at least 2 million more. Sudan is home to the
largest internally-displaced persons popula-
tion in the world. According to the United
Nations, Arab militias collectively known as
the Janjaweed have been attacking villages
populated by black Sudanese. These attacks
include burning of homes and crops, rapes
and brandings, and the brutal slaughter of
men, women and children.
According to Human Rights Watch, the
Sudanese government is arming the militias
and taking part in their crimes by using its air
force to bomb. villages. The Bush administra-
tion and Congress both have declared that
these acts constitute genocide, and the United
States Holocaust Memorial Museum has de-
clared a genocide emergency for the first time.
While the resolutions and declarations of
governments and organizations should be
praised, they are not enough to stop the vio-
lence. All that stands between life and death
Ryan Femberg in Darfur is anf African

Matt Haber mission that lacks
.Speaking Out funding, personnel
and authority. While
the Janjaweed and the
Sudanese government have indicated- they
would be less likely to commit atrocities if
they faced international scrutiny and threats
of prosecution, the AU force as it stands has
proven itself unable toprovide such pressure.
A move in the right direction would be a
significant increase in the size of the AU peace-
keeping force and an expansion of its author-
ity. The Darfur Accountability Act, which is.
moving through Congress, holds the potential
to achieve this end, as it would authorize the
United States to help fund improvements to
the AU force that so desperately are needed.
Citizens of the United States possess great
power in that they can contact their repre-
sentatives in Congress to support the Darfur
Accountability Act and other pieces of legisla-
tion like it. Additionally, online sources such
as http://www.savedarfur.org and http://
www.genocideinterventionfund.org provide
updated information about the issues and the
actions individuals can take to respond.
In 1994, as the horrors of Rwanda unfolded
before an apathetic world community, U.S.
National Security Adviser Anthony Lake was
asked what citizens could do. He replied, "You
need to make more noise." The lobbying ef-
forts of students in Washington D.C. Tuesday,
as well as the efforts of organizations such as
the Genocide Intervention Fund, are helping to
make the noise to stop the murders in Sudan.
The vow of "never again" has been made. It's
high time to start fulfilling that promise.

Award-winning steel drummer plays UF concert
By KEELEY MCCARTY
Avenue Writer
Ray Holman lived a few
hundred yards from where the
Invaders, a calypso steel band,
practiced in Trinidad.
At 14, he started playing with
them, and by 19 he was compos-
ing his own music.
Eventually he broke new
ground in the world of steel
drumming, winning awards and
fame along the way.
Holman joined. The Sunshine
Steelers, the UF Steel Drum
Ensemble, for their concert at
the University Auditorium on
3-
Andrea Morales. Alligator SLaff
Members of The Sunshine Steelers perform Tuesday night at the University Auditorium. The event fea-
tured guest soloist and composer Ray Holman.
Tuesday night.
His performance, which was
free to the public, included so-
los and ensemble pieces with
steel drum students of three skill
levels.
"It broke some of the precon-
ceptions of what a steel band
should sound like or look like,"
said Jessica Williams, a UF micro-
biology junior who attended the
concert.
Williams, who was born in
Jamaica, said the music made her
nostalgic.
"It brings me back home," she
said.
Kenneth Broadway, who- serv=
ers as the leader of the ensemble,
said he has been working to get
Holman to perform. here for a
long time.
"I met him eight years ago at a
workshop," said Broadway, also
an associate professor in percus-
sion studies. "I was taken with
his ability to not only perform,
but also teach."
A lot of the music played by_
the ensemble in class was written
by Holman.
A majority of the concert
pieces were Holman's as well,
he said.
Holman said he spent three
days with The Sunshine Steelers
in preparation for Tuesday's
concert.
"I saw them getting better and
better," Holman said.
Steel drum ensemble is a
one-credit class offered through
the university's department of
music.
Broadway said no prior steel
drum experience is required for
the course.
But students who are taking
the class should have a strong
musical background, includ-
ing sight-reading skills and a
knowledge of pitch and tempo,
he added.
- Holman is 'credited with the
introduction of jazz into pan-
ning.
He also pioneered theidea of
pannists composing and arrang-
ing their own music for compe-
tition, according to the concert
program.
He said he gets satisfaction
from knowing -that the musical
genre is spreading.
He has played concerts all
over the world, including Japan
and many college campuses in
the United States.
This was Holman's first time
performing in Florida.
"People appreciate [the mu-
sic] a lot here," he said.
Joe's gripes a good read
aul Davidson sends weird things
to companies and even news-
papers.
I found his book in the pile sent to
the paper last week, and I ended up
missing most of the meeting, because
I was wrapped up in skimming the
letters Davidson wrote to Fortune 500
companies in his book "Consumer Joe:
Harassing Corporate America, One
Letter at a Time."
But I couldn't write a book review
about letters, can I?
What stuck in my mind was
Carpol's dedication on the title page,
"To the Independent Alligator, I hope
you get some laughs from this book.
Everybody else has."
Why no, Ron, I didn't. But you
know what I am laughing about? I
can't shake how funny Davidson's-
letter was to Starbucks asking: "Why
is Starbucks so hell bent on conquest?
Why do they grow each year like an
infection that cannot be stopped?"
I'd like to tell you why I have this
book, but I can't. It's ages old pub-
lished in 2003. Authors and publishers
normally send us new books.
Davidson transposed his name
to David Paulson and wrote cus-
tomer concern, praise, complaint
and suggestion letters that fall just
this side of certifiably nuts. While
his letters are hysterical, the re-
plies are even more telling. How
does a company treat a crazy man
when they think no one is looking?
He asked the Coca-Cola Company if
they put the leftover New Coke the
American public refused to drink dur-

It's not a far
stretch to
imagine the
Coca-Cola
people as a
little stiff in
the upper lip
department
in their reply.
to shop at a
-Circle K next time I see one because
one of their employees actually sent
Davidson a flag when he proclaimed
himself co-founder of the "Circle K
Fan Club," this would be in com-
memoration of the line "something
strange is afoot at the Circle K," ut-
tered by Keanu Reeves in "Bill and
Ted's Excellent Adventure."
Some of the companies catch on
that the author neither is crazy nor
complaining.
When Davidson suggested that
Jamba Juice try adding a fresh fish
smoothie to their menu, their cus-
tomer service manager sent a nod to a
classic SNL episode in his reply saying
the company was purchasing Bass-O-
Matics for pureeing whole fish. That
was when Dan Aykroyd was skinny,
kids. Way back.
I'm not sure what you would do
with this book, but I'm thinking you
have to have one. I'm going to hold.
on to this copy really tight, click my
heels together and hope beyond
hope Davidson's next letter will be to
Einstein's in the Hub asking why they
never use enough cream cheese.
Four-square trend hits UF
By ALICIA PEREZ
Avenue Writer
. It's the new fad around campus. It is a
little more competitive than how you played
it in elementary school. Forget Thefacebook
and MySpace, this is a different way to meet
new people.
Who would have ever thought that 4-
square yielded such power?
You have seen them playing every
week, with a line of eager people who will
unknowingly befriend "Prime Real Estate"
and "Maverick," the co-founders of this new
trend.
Prime Real Estate and Maverick,4 who
prefer to keep their true identities hidden
from those who don't already know them,
were inspired by two friends who created
a 4-square club six years ago at Ball State
University in Indiana.
"I would love say it is an original idea,
but it isn't," Prime Real Estate laughs.
The idea of a club solely dedicated to the
game of 4-square inspired both gentlemen to
begin one of their own halfway during the
fall semester.
With a nice following, they have been
able to make it a -,.eekl', event on campus,
with several off-campus events as well,
Maverick says. .
They play every Friday on Turlington
Plaza at 9:30 a.m. until "the person with the
ball needs to go home," he says.,
"What I love best about this is that is
brings a large dynamic of people together
for a good time," Maverick says. "I have
met a lot of cool people that I am fortunate
enough to call my friends, and I just love
doing it.",
But don't think it stops with just a
friendly game of 4-square of Fridays, Prime
Real Estate adds. They are preparing for a 4-
square tournament on April 22.
"Everyone is invited to come," they both
say. "It is going to be during the reading
days so more people can participate. We
actually want some more girls to come and
give the guys some competition."
The tournament will be individual and
team competition. The warm-up will be
from 9:30 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. The registration
will be from 10:25 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. with the
main event starting at 10:30.
But one of the biggest questions sur-
rounding this group are the aliases, as Prime
Real Estate calls them, that people receive
after only playing a few games.
You do not get to chose your own names,
says Maverick, whose name was chosen by
Prime Real Estate awhile back without a spe-
cific reasoning. He says the name is given to
the person based on certain moves that he or
she may do during any given game.
"There are different aliases like Tear Drop
or Loose Cannon for example," Maverick
explains. "These names just stem from the
different techniques they use."
On the other hand, Prime Real Estate,
whose name originated outside of
Leonardo's, says that some people just come
in with aliases in mind but also mentioned
that the one thing to remember was, "a good
4-square alias is like a fine wine. Sometimes
it takes years to fully ferment, so no one
should make haste in coming up with a
good 4- square name." "
Whether it is a yearning for an earlier time
in your life when your biggest worry was if
-you were'going to become a school patrol, or
a chance to meet new people the game of
4-sqaure will bring all this and more.

PLAYLIST
Musicians, computer beats to interface at Faces
By KEELEY MCCARTY
Avenue Writer
The computer's name is Swtchrly. It's the
backbone of Dance, Jenny's electronic pop
beats.
Dance, Jenny is a semi-local band com-
posed of Sean Kravit, a UF video production
senior; his cousin Kai Kravit, a Miami high
school student; and Alex Fenf, a former SFCC
student.
"We can all play every instrument we
have," Sean says, but he usually mans the
electric guitar, Fenf plays drums and Kai sings.
Swtchrly blasts beats, keyboard and whatever
else is needed.
The trio and Swtchrly -'will play
Saturday night at Faces Lounge in the com-
pany of Waterford Landing, Men's Shoes and
local Vox in the electronically themed show,
presented by Electronic SubSouth and Glory
Days.
Electronic SubSouth, headed by Christopher
Miller, is a small collective of people dedicated
to establishing an electronic music scene in
Gainesville.
They bring together local electronic artists
for shows as often as possible.
The Saturday show will be Dance, Jenny's
third show in Gainesville, a preview to their
debut album, "La Musica Pop," scheduled to
rdleai.e under the indie label Poplife Records
-some time this summer. Prior to the LP release,
the band .Will release an EP featuring the single
"Paperweights" and a remix of "Sex is Free,"
done by Styrofoam, a Belgian electronic pop
artist.
Their music has a Postal Service feel, with
mellow vocals and chill beats.
Sean says "La Musica Pop" starts off poppy,
then transitions into a darker mix of songs de-
signed to make you think.
"We've been working on [the album] for a
long time a year I think," Fenf says.
With the members of the band split be-
tween Gainesville and South Florida, Dance,
Jenny has had to improvise, sending ideas
back and forth via computer. After Sean gradu-
ates from UF this year, the band plans to move
to Orlando to work on their music. Kai will
attend UCF.
Along with their music comes a certain
vocabulary, Sean said. They like to abbreviate
words such as appetizer to app, and if they like
something, it's a "sweet little" something.
Not only are, the guys of Dance, Jenny musi-
cally in tune, but they sound like people who
would throw a tight party.
The Faces show starts at 9:30 p.m. and costs
$5 for 21 and up and $6 otherwise.

Dear Plagued by the Past,.
Maybe you should have kept your legs
closed (kidding!)
In a town rampant with alcohol and scantily
clad hotties, everyone has skeletons (and pos-
sibly whips and chains) in their closets. But few
coeds actually fess up to past sexual indiscre-
tions, so kudos to you for being honest.
Unfortunately, some people uphold -.the
double standard that women should sit at home
knitting while men run wild in pursuit of moist
holes. But hey, knitting doesn't illicit orgasms
(believe me, I've tried). Ladies have needs, too.
Now that you no longer feel like a dirty slut
(you're just an honest slut), let's address the
boyfriend.
Your man might feel inadequate because
he's had less experience. He also might feel
pressure to measure up to all of your previous
partners. Tell him he's better (and bigger) than
them (it's OK to be a little dishonest in this de-
partment ... he doesn't need to know Stud No.
7 was by far the best you've ever had.) Stroking
a man's ego is just as important as stroking him
below the belt.
If he never gets past your past, you can
endure the cross examinations, or you can find
someone who's obsessed with you, not the
dudes you've done.
Dear Perturbed by Parental Prodding,
Maybe Mom thinks hearing about that orgy at
a frat house will bring you two closer. Maybe she
wants some tips. Maybe she's just a pervert.
My guess is she's just worried. With all of
the young mothers and STDs floating around,
some parents think an active sex life means their
kid is on the road to gonorrhea and illegitimate

Band defies the Man
By NATHANIEL DEAS
Avenue Writer
Ah, the life of a rock star.
Tours through Europe, fans
all over the world, working your
own hours ... it seems pretty sweet
- even if you have to drive your
own van from show to show.
"We have two vans," Southern
Culture on the Skids drummer
Dave Hartman says.
"Today we're going from Austin
to Little Rock; it's about a 10-hour
drive."
Described as an Appalachian
surf band, Southern Culture on the
Skids is on a non-stop, month-long
tour throughout the South before
heading off to Europe in May.
"Anyone who owns their own
business will tell you one of the
perks is that you work your own
hours, but you tend to work 24
hours a day," Hartman says.
"But at least you're not answer-
ing to.the Man." '
With drives from Texas to
Arkansas to Tennessee to Florida,
Hartman admits the band mem-
bers have a lot of free time on their
hands.
"We read a lot and listen to
whatever CDs we scored at the
last place we were and just sleep,"
he says.
It's a different story on the stage,
however.
"We'll be throwing' out fried
chicken and getting girls on stage
to dance, camel walk and belly
dancing," Hartman says. "I don't
know, we just sort of have a good
time.
"And, you know, if you've been
working all day long, you don't
want to go hear a bunch of 'crying
in your beer' music. You want to
have a good time, and that's what
we try to do."
Southern Culture on the Skids,
who will be driving to the Market
Street Pub on Saturday, are no
strangers to Gainesville.
"We're really looking forward to
[the show]," Hartman says.
"We had a blast the last time we
were there, and we always have a
good time in Gainesville."
Based out of Chapel Hill, N.C.,
Southern Culture on the Skids has a
large range of musical influences.
"Generally we do a mix of all
sorts of Southern based types of
music," Hartman says.
"Anything from surf music,
which isn't necessarily Southern,
but country and roots and blues'
and early rock 'n' roll and R&B and
just, you know, all of these sounds
originated in the South."
Doors open at 9 p.m. Tickets are
$12 in advance or $15 at the door
and can be -purchased at Smoke,
Hyde and Zeke, Blockbuster Video
and No Future.
"It'll be a damn good time," he
says. "You'll hear really good mu-
sie, you'll have fun, you might even
get laid."

U IFC MEMBERS HAVE FO-
CUSED ATTENTION ON LOCAL
MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS.
By KYLIE CRAIG
Alligator Writer
kcraig@alligator.org
UF fraternity members have
been using their spare time
to give back to local students
through a new community tutor-
ing program.
Representatives from
Interfraternity Council chapters
have been tutoring kids at P.K.
Yonge Middle School as
Greek part of the program.
Life They also have given
speeches to Buchholz
High School freshmen, encourag-
ing the teenagers to make good
choices.
IFC Service Director Chris
Ferrante said the volunteers are
working hard to put a lot of time
and energy into the program.
"Sometimes it's easier for a
college student to get through to
younger students because they
respect us and feel like they are
on a closer level to us than their
teachers or administrators," he
said.
Fraternity members volun-
teering at P.K. Yonge have tu-
tored students after school three
days a week in math, science and
English.
Travis Mydock, project leader
for the middle school program,
said it's great to see the impact
the volunteers have on the
younger students.
"The kids really enjoy it. They
always ask if we're coming back
next week," he said.
,The program at Buchholz
High School is focused more
toward teaching kids to make
better choices in high school and
beyond.
"We really emphasize educa-
tion and extracurriculars," high-
school project leader Jim Lang
said.
"We want to help them to be
successful in high school and to
prepare them for success in col-
lege and their future careers."
Both. Lang and Mydock said
plans are being made to expand
the programs to other local
schools.
"We're trying to develop a
relationship in the community
and we want this relationship to
last for years to come," Ferrante
said.

Gay couples stage unions to promote marriage rights
By ALEJANDRA CANCINO
Alligator Contributing Writer
A pagan high priest and a rabbi de-
clared five couples mock husbands and
wives and husband and husband, and
wife and wife Wednesday on the Reitz
Union North Lawn.
As part of the event called
On "My Big Fat Gay Wedding,"
Campus three homosexual and two
heterosexual couples married
to show support for same-sex couples'
rights and to increase awareness on cam-
pus, said Piramno Rosetta, Pagan Student
Union president and coordinator of the
event.
"We should not be discriminated be-
cause of our sexual orientations," Rosetta
said. "We have the love between two peo-
ple, and that's the most important thing in
marriage."
Rabbi Jonathan Siger of Hillel at UF and
Rosetta, who also is a pagan high priest,
presided over the ceremonies.
The Rev. Nevin Wertenberger from the
Trinity Metropolitan Community Church
in Ocala was also scheduled to appear but
never showed up.
About 25 students witnessed the unions
of Rosetta and Cory Wise; Anna Khorosh
and Amanda Willingham; Jon McCahill
and Christian Sy; Kyle Orta and Pepijn
Van Kesteren; and Adelle Fontanet and
Russell Semmel.
NICK West/ Alligator Start
Piramno Rosetta and CoryWise are "married" by Rabbi Jonathan Siger on the Reitz
Union North Lawn on Wednesday as part of Pride Awareness Week.
Tamara Cohen, the director for Lesbian, said.
Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Affairs, "[Same-sex marriages] are about people
said there are many misconceptions about getting equal protection under the law,"
same-sex marriages. Cohen said. "There are 1,049 protections
The weddings are not about the cake for married people that gay people don't
and the suit but about legal rights, she have."
Cohen explained that gay couples do
not have the right to visit each other in
the hospital or file taxes together, and they
cannot sponsor an immigrant partner'for
U.S. citizenship.
-"[Same-sex marriages] are about
people getting equal protection
under the law. There are 1,049
protections for married people
that gay people don't have."

Siger said homosexuals commit to their
partners as any heterosexuals do, and thus
their weddings should be celebrated even
if they cannot be sanctified.
"Even homosexuals have a home in the
Jewish community," Siger said.
After Rosetta married the first three
couples, Siger married Rosetta to Wise,
and Student Sen. Semmel to Fontanet,
head facilitator for Pride Student Union.
"I'm not gay myself," Semmel said.
"I'm participating in this because every-
one deserves to have the same rights. I
have many close gay friends, and I. hope
this demonstrates that they have the same
abilities as I do."

UF delegation discusses student-centered bills with legislators
GATOR DAY, from page 1
Michael Moore's speech at UF last year.
But SG Lobby Director Robert Mack said
Baxley was receptive to students' concerns.
"We talked about that, and he said from
what he can tell we won't have to worry about
this bill this year," Mack said.
Gov. Jeb Bush and Senate President Tom Lee
have both questioned whether the law is neces-
sary, and the bill has yet to reach the Senate.
The main thing Baxley wanted to do was
provoke discussions on university campuses
to ensure that conservative voices aren't dis-
criminated against, Mack said.
The student delegation also met with Sen.
Lee Constantine, R-Altamonte Springs, who
proposed a bill that would charge students
out-of-state tuition rates if they take more than
115 percent of the hours needed to graduate.
The bill would also give students up to a
$1,000 tuition rebate if they graduated without
taking extra classes.
Several amendments filed this week have
made the bill more student-friendly, including
one that specified that classes taken for double
majors do not count against the total.
"I think the whole UF day was a
chance for us to get our message
out and priorities heard, and I
think we did that."
Robert Mack
SG lobby director
Hours earned through internship credits
and courses that a student drops due to medi-
cal or personal hardship also would not count
against the student.
Mack said the day was a success.
"I think the whole UF day was a chance for
us to get our message out and priorities heard,
and I think we did that," he said.
He. and Sowell also plan on venturing
to Tallahassee a few more times during the
remainder of the legislative session to ensure
that UF funding priorities are met, Mack said.
The delegation capped the day with a party
on the viewing deck of the 22nd floor of the
Capitol building, where members enjoyed
catered food, an open bar and sunset views of
the.city to the strains of a live jazz band.
Plus, they got out of class.

Lesbian poet speaks about Jamaican heritage, sex
By LINDSAY TAULBEE "
Alligator Writer
Itaulbee@alligator.org
Sex, masturbation and Bert and Ernie were
all fair game Wednesday night in the Reitz
Union Grand Ballroom, as poet Staceyann
Chin leaped off the stage, through the aisles
and onto chairs while performing her poetry.
Chin and more than a dozen local per-
formers entertained almost 250 students with
original works of poetry during "Outspoken,"
hosted by Pride Awareness Month and co-or-
ganized by The Apartment Poets.
"Staceyann Chin is just so dynamic that
there's no way you can't be involved in her.
piece," Apartment Poets founding member
Kristie Soares said.
"She interacts with her body in a way other
poets don't," she said. "We should all aspire to
be a little more like Staceyann Chin."
Her poems covered a broad range of top-
ics, including her experience as a lesbian, her
Jamaican background and politics.
She encouraged students to masturbate
- "It cures everything," she said and told
the audience that having sex without ever
having masturbated is "like telling people to
come visit you, and you don't know how to
get to your own home."
"Imagination is the bridge between the
things we know for sure and the things we
need to believe when our- worlds become
unbearable," she recited during her poem
"And These Are Only Some of the Things I
Believe."
Included as things she believes in were
Santa Claus, monsters under the bed, so chil-
dren have something to conquer, "and con-
trary to popular belief, I believe
On Bert and Ernie are straight."
' 'I"ti,- Her poem "Lesbian Chasing
Straight," told how she had been
advised to lure a straight woman.
"Only in private do we confess to each oth-
er that straight girls require too much effort,"
she recited, to the audience's cheers.
*In an interview after the performance, Chin
explained how she began to use poetry as a
means of expression.
She said she came to New York -rom
Jamaica because it was virtually "illegal" in
Jamaica to be lesbian, as nationals frown upon
that lifestyle.
"I found that being black (in the United
States) is kind of like being illegal," she said.
"So I started speaking out."
Pride Awareness Month, the UP English
department, the Center for Latin American
Studies, the Center for Women's Studies
and Gender Research, the Black Student
Association, Volunteers for International
Student Affairs and LGBT Affairs sponsored
the event.

Board debates redeveloping local historic district
By IVETTE MENDEZ
Alligator Writer
imendez@alligator.org
The extent of potential residen-
tial development of an area border-
ing UF's campus hinges on certain
building restrictions to be negoti-
ated- with Historical Preservation
Society officials.
The redevelopment advi-
sory board for the College Park/
University Heights historical dis-
trict, which spans the east side of
UF's cam pus and part of its north-
ern boundary, met Wednesday to
discuss the possible impact of new
urban development on the area.
, Though the area was designated
a historical district about two years
ago, the board is now discussing
the repercussions that classification
will have on future student apart-
ment structures, Chairman Bradley
Pollitt said.
The job of the board is to develop
the area as much as possible without
infringing on the historical district
requirements.
The board previously commis-
sioned Paul Miller from Miller
Slayton Architects to complete a
"It definitely has an
impact."
Bradley Pollitt
College Park/University Heights
board chairman
study of possible different building
styles based on various restrictions
caused by the area's zoning designa-
tion, Pollitt said.
Due to its historical designation,
future developments in the area
must follow specific restrictions.
Miller's study presented the
number of apartments that could be
built on one potential lot, depend-
ing on the Historical Preservation
Society's final decision as to what re-
strictions it is willing to reconsider.
"It definitely has an impact,"
Pollitt said.
Miller presented three differ-
ent scenarios, each containing
about four structure options for
a University Heights apartment
complex.
Without the historical district
restrictions, the study showed there
could be more than 30 apartments
on a specific lot, but with the restric-
tions, only about 20 could be built,
Pollitt said.
Restrictions include new build-
ings matching the height of existing
surrounding structures, certain roof
shapes and rear. and side yards that
extend to the street, recommended
at approximately 10 feet to match
the yards of surrounding proper-
ties.
After -the board reviews the
study's findings, it will go back to
the Historical Preservation Society
to negotiate a compromise as to
facilitate the area's growth, Pollitt
said.

Top 50 Moments in UF Sports History: No. 20 11
alligatorSports.org's Top 50 countdown
enters the Final 20.
Log on to alligatorSports.org to view a digital
image of the article as it appeared in print.
20. Alabama Getaway 11/29/1923 The
experts gave UF absolutely no chance, making
the Tide 10-to-1 favorites.
More than 7,000 showed up to watch
Alabama, the top team in the South, score
another big win. But UF, down 6-0 early, wouldn't
give up another point, escaping Birmingham with
a shocking 16-6 victory.
The Alligator read: "[The victory] will place the
Florida aggregation first among all football teams
in the south."
19. Swindle in the Swamp 11/29/2003
- Bobby Bowden called it the best UF-FSU game
of his tenure, and this is a man who was on the
right end of The Choke at Doak.
UF players and fans called it a nightmare.
Not only did the Gators watch Chris Rix
connect with Dominic Robinson foran improbable
fourth-and-14 first down, but moments later Rix
found P.K. Sam for a 52-yard touchdown, giving
FSU a 38-34 win.
Controversial referee calls all going FSU's
way marred the outcome.
18. A National Champion 6/22/1968

Down 68-67 in overtime and with the clock

to give UF the win that would eventually propel
them into the NCAA Finals.

13. The Florida Flop 11/27/1971 It left UF
fans thrilled, Miami fans outraged and John
Reaves a legend. -
UF quarterback Reaves needed 14 yards
for the NCAA career passing yards record,
but Miami, down 45-8, had the ball with 1:.
10 remaining. It seemed unlikely UF would
get the ball back, so Coach Doug Dickey
ordered the Gators defense to "flop" to the
ground and allow Miami to enter the end
zone untouched.
UF did get the ball, Reaves broke the record,
and Miami fans are still angry to this day.
12. The Fiasco Bowl- 1/2/1996 After
so many years of trying to win a national title,
UF finally was one win away from an
NCAA Championship. So what happened?
Nebraska demolished the Gators in the Fiesta
Bowl, 62-24.
For weeks the joke was "I think Nebraska just
scored again."
11. Wunderffel 12/14/1996 Quarterback
Danny Wuerffel wasn't the biggest football story
of 1996 the national championship topped all
plots. But Wuerffel did walk away the nation's top
prize, winning just the second Heisman Trophy in
school history.
Wuerffel passed for 3,625 yards and 39
touchdowns.

Catcher Kristin Butler and her junior class will be look-
ing for their first-ever win against Florida State today
ing for their first-ever .win against Florida State today.
By WILLIS JACOBSON
Alligator Writer
When the No. 15 UF softball team
(29-10, 8-4 Southeastern Conference)
takes the field against Florida State
(24-16) today, there -won't be any of
the fighting or name-calling that has.
become traditional of the rivalry in
other sports.
At least not from the coaches.
UF coach Karen Johns .says that
her relationship with 'FSU. coach Dr.
JoAnne Graf, in her 26th season with
the Seminoles, is a positive one. The
two coaches will face off in a double-
header beginning at 4 p.m. today at
the Florida Softball Stadium.
"I'm not quite sure if [the rivalry]
has that Steve Spurrier Bobby
Bowden.thing going on,"'Johns said,
noting that she was recruited by Graf
as a player. "Dr. Graf was sort of a
mentor for me.... Even though I didn't
choose to go there, we've always had
a great working relationship."
When .it comes to the players,"
however, animosity won't be lacking.
Beating the Seminoles, something that
UF hasn't done since 2002, would be
the perfect remedy for a team that has
lost four of its last six games.
"I've always bled orange and blue,
so it's a huge rivalry for me," catcher
Kristin Butler said.
Butler, an Orlando native, is part
of a junior class that is winless against
the Seminoles. All-time,. UF is 5-11
against FSU, including 1-7 in its last
eight contests. This season, however,
will mark the first time UF enters the
game with a higher ranking and this
team, according to Butler, is just hit-
ting its stride.
"I've always bled orange and
blue, so it's a huge rivalry for
me.
Kristin Butler
UF softball catcher
"[Because of the rankings] they will
definitely be out to prove something,"
Butler said. "But we will too. This is
a point in the season where we think
we're peaking, so hopefully we'll get
over that hump and beat them. It's
definitely going to be a fight to the
end in every game."
Despite the friendship between the
coaches, Johns realizes that a pair of
wins against the Seminoles would do
wonders for her team's confidence.
Getting those wins, though, won't be
easy.
"Record-wise, it's probably not the
best Florida State team that's .been
around since I've been here," Johns
said. "But it's definitely not lacking
talent. They have great speed, and
they have very good pitching. Those
two combinations can create problems
for us, so we're going to have to be
prepared."
Both games will be broadcast on
SUN Sports.

MEN'S TRACK AND FIELD
UF amped about Austin
By BLAKE BONSACK
Alligator Writer
Everything may be bigger in Texas, but
for this weekend, the UF men's track and
field team will settle for everything being
drier.
The No. 2 Gators travel to Austin, Texas
to participate in the 2005 Clyde Littlefield
Texas Relays at Mike A. Meyers Stadium
April 7-9. The annual event is one of the
premier competitions of the outdoor season
and will host many of the country's elite
track programs.
Inclement weather has limited the Gators'
performance in their first two meets, the
Florida Relays and Yellow Jacket Invitational.
Coach Mike Holloway is eager for his team to
have an opportunity to display its abilities.
"We're looking forward to it," Holloway
said. "Obviously, we would have liked to
have had better weather the last couple of
weekends to prepare, but we'll go to Austin
and do what we do and not worry about
anybody else. Texas Relays is one of the top
meets in the country, so to do well there will
say a lot about where we're at right now."
Despite the team's lack of experience,
Holloway was satisfied with its success
achieving NCAA regional qualifying marks
at the previous meets. He's also pleased with
their overall progress up to this point.
"We're in pretty good shape right now,"
Holloway said. "I like what Josh Walker's
doing in the 110-me-
ter hurdles. Bernard
Middleton came up big for
us last weekend at Georgia
Tech in the 400-meter
dash. Alex Harris had the
best series of jumping of
his career last weekend in
Holloway Atlanta and has been do-
ing a good job. We'll get to
see Mike Morrison in the long jump and high
jump this week against some of the country's
best as well."
The meet will give the Gators a better
understanding of how they compare to other
top teams.
"Texas Relays has always been a place
to see how you stack up against everybody
else because the competition is so good,"
Holloway said.

Marshall may take a Holliday from the Swamp
By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
bapp@alligator.org
As if trying to familiarize his
coaching staff with the Gators
while installing a new offensive
system wasn't enough, Coach
Urban Meyer might have to re-
place an assistant before the season
begins.
After he denied being contacted
by Marshall to fill the program's
coaching vacancy on Monday, UF
Safeties coach John "Doc" Holliday
said he traveled to Huntington,
W.Va., Tuesday to meet with school
officials.
"It's no secret, I went up there,"
said Holliday, a 20-year assistant at

Bob Pruett, the winningest coach
in Marshall history, retired on March
9, leaving the Thundering Herd
scrambling for a replacement.
Holliday, a native of Hurricane,
W. Va., about 25 minutes from
Huntington, wouldn't say whether
he was offered the position but re-
iterated that it is the goal of every
assistant to one day lead a team.
"Any assistant coach wants to
become a head coach," Holliday-
said. "But other than that I have no

recorded two deep catches for UF's offense.
competition-driven defense, UF's nity at Meyer's "competition day"
offense finally had a Wednesday in prior to Saturday's Orange and Blue
the sun almost. Game, the offense showed signs of
In the Gators' final opportu- improvement before losing to the
defense in the day's final exercise.
"It was a good day today," Meyer
said. "The defense won and did a
nice job, but the offense, I thought
had one of their better days."
The offensive squad's potential
bragging rights came down to a
third-down situational drill. Agd
after giving up some deep passes
earlier in the pseudo-scrimmage, the
defense shut down the short game
and left -their counterparts running
wind sprints.
UF's wide receivers made nu-
merous big catches Wednesday. The
deep gains may reveal a weakness
in the previously dominant defense.
But, as Meyer explained,, the
speed of UF's offense should pres-
ent problems for more than his own
defense.
"The offense in football nowa-
days, especially in our style of play,
is if you don't blitz, we're going to
wear you out," Meyer said. "So you
have to find a way to hit home and
blitz."
NOT SO BIG HIT: While the speedy ju-
niors may have gotten the best of the
secondary for most of the afternoon,
sophomore safety Kyle Jackson
made sure his Jackson counterpart
knew he was still there.
As quarterback Chris Leak sailed
a pass over Chad Jackson's head,
Kyle blind-sided the unwitting
receiver, still gazing up for the ball.
But apparently the hit wasn't up to
Meyer's level of tenacity. .
"That's really not that big of a
hit," Meyer said. "I guess it's been a
while since you've seen a good hM.P'
Meyer promised the hits would
come harder, beginning Saturday.
"That was kind of a little bump,"
Meyer said. "You'll see some good
hits this fall. That wasn't a great hit.
Chad Jackson is hurt over that? I'm
sure the SEC hits harder than that
now."
Head coach position at Marshall attracts Gators assistant coach
He has been coaching for more than
20 years as an assistant, so no one
can blame him for wanting to be a
head coach.
He is John "Doc" Holliday, UF safeties
coach. He is among a list of candidates
including Ohio State defensive coordina-
.tor Mark Snyder and former Baylor coach
Dave Roberts for the recently opened
Marshall University job.
Holliday has been a bit cryptic about
his intentions, though. He said he's con-
centrating on the Gators at this time, yet he
visited Marshall yesterday. It is clear that
given Holliday's well-recognized recruit-
ing ability and extensive connections in
south Florida (where I hear they have some
MLB
Boston 7
New York Yankees 3

Tampa Bay 8
decent football players), Marshall wants to
make inroads to get the talent that this state
has to offer.
Holliday has coaching experience at a va-
riety of positions, though most of it has been
with wideouts. At West Virginia (his alma
mater as well as where he coached the bulk of
his career, starting as a graduate assistant), he
led the wide receivers for 20 years total in two
separate stints. He holds three years' experi-
ence coaching inside linebackers sandwiched
between those stints before finishing at WVU
as an associate head coach.
He held that same position at North
Carolina State for five years before coming
to UF. He's the safeties coach now.

on offense, setting
a new standard for
Wolfpack football in
almost every statisti-
cal category. Holliday
played- a big role in
that.
And, like he said,
every assistant wants
to be a head coach
some day.
Holliday is ready to coach a Division-I
program. The preceding evidence clearly
supports that.
What remains unanswered is are the
Gators ready for that possibility?
If Holliday is chosen and he accepts, that

Boys' and the fight song ... Right now
there seems to be more of a tradition

Urban Meyer.
UF football coach
means a UF assistant leaves after holding
the position for only a few months. That
means guys like Tony Joiner and Kyle
Jackson, who have already endured a staff
change, will have to be coached by some-
one else. Again.
Holliday's departure would have a great
impact on a team and a staff that is trying
to gain its footing. This is not to say he
shouldn't go he's been an assistant coach
for nearly a quarter-century.
If Holliday is chosen and accepts, the
impact on how the safeties will play when'
they step on the field for next season and
whether cornerbacks coach and recruiting
coordinator Chuck Heater can pick up the
slack is what to watch. .

Runner Ponteen overshadowed
By CHUCK BAER
Alligator Writer
Tiandra Ponteen may be the best
sprinter on the women's track and
field team, but you wouldn't know
that reading the news.
Although the sophomore won first
place in the 400-meter dash at the
fCAA Indoor Championships and
went undefeated in the event during
the indoor season, Ponteen's near-
perfect season was overshadowed by
fellow sophomore Kerron Clement.
Clement attracted national atten-
tion and lots of it when he broke
Michael Johnson's indoor 400-meter
world record, set in 1995.
Ponteen, however, isn't bothered
by being UF's lesser-known sopho-
more sprinter.
"Kerron deserves what he's get-
ting," she said. "Because that was
awesome."
Just minutes after winning her
own race, Ponteen stood on .the
sidelines cheering for Clement as he
won his. As he finished, she had to
congratulate her friend.
"Right after he crossed the line, I
ran up next to him and he was like
'Tiandra, we did it!'" she said.
Clement and Ponteen share more
than the same event and team colors.
The two hail from the Caribbean:
Clement from Trinidad, while Ponteen
grew up on the island of St. Kitts. Both
came to the U.S. to compete in high
school, too: Clement to La Porte, Texas
and Ponteen to Glendale, Md.
"Clement is one of her favorite
people," women's coach Tom Jones
said. "They're very close friends. I
don't think his success has bothered
her at all."
"[Ponteen]'s earned her
national championship.
She's respected nationally,
and she's respected on the
team."
Tom Jones
UF women's track and field coach
Clement and Ponteen share more
than a background history. While
Clement has his world record,
Ponteen has her own to brag about.
She set UF's best-ever 400-meter dash
time as a freshman. Then she broke
her very own record this season.
And while Ponteen hasn't received
the publicity of her teammate, she is
still proud of her season.
"Well, sometimes here and there
my name is mentioned, but I'm pretty
sure that if I had broken the world re-
cord, they would have been focusing
on me more than focusing on Kerron,"
she said. "An accomplishment is an
accomplishment."-
After finishing second to Texas'
Sanya Richards in the 400 in last
year's national championships,
Ponteen dedicated herself to winning
this year's title.
"After Sanya left to run in the pro
circuit, I figured I had to step up and
not settle for second place or third,"
she said. "So I did what I needed to
do to compete at the highest level that
Ican."
Ponteen started running when
she was just seven years old, placing
fourth in the Caribbean-wide Carifta
Games at age 12.
She left St. Kitts to attend Eleanor
Roosevelt High School in Maryland.
She competed for St. Kitts in the 2004
Olympics and placed 13th in the
Olympic trials.
While in high school, she set the
Maryland state record in the 200, 300,
400 and 500-meter dashes and as part
of the 4x400 relay team.
But Ponteen came to UF for the
climate, academics, and especially
because the track program only had a
few dedicated 400 runners.
"I didn't want to go to a school
where there's just a whole bunch of
400-meter runners," she said. "I didn't
want attention taken away from me."
All Clement hype aside, it seems
like Ponteen still has plenty of that
elusive notoriety.
"She's earned her national champi-
onship," said Jones. "She's respected
nationally, and she's re pected on the
team."

The UF team, led by President Bernie Machen and several university trustees, was welcomed at a session of the Florida Senate. The star honoree to lawmakers, however, was Tampa resident George Edmondson, better known as Mr. Two-Bits. Senators recognized Edmondson for his 56 years of urging Gators to get up and holler.

The alleged victim said she was "extremely disappointed" with how Student Judicial Affairs handled PubliC her case at a Safety Tuesday hearing. "It was taken very lightly," she told the Alligator. "Now he (the alleged rapist) is just walking around like, 'Whatever."' Alcohol use and little evidence largely made the hearing a matter of "he said, she said," the alleged victim said. Judicial Affairs officials recomimended that the accused be placed on conduct probation and attend counseling, she said. If Dean of Students Gene Zdziarski approves the recommendation, the accused will not be allowed to participate in student organizations or intramural sports. "This is too light of a punishment," the alleged victim said, noting that the accused already did not participate in those activities. "This will not make any difference in his life." Laura Kalt, an Alachua County victim's advocate, said some UF rape victims feel safer seeking aid outside the halls of the university. "They can be afraid of running into acquaintances on campus," she said. "Victims are less likely to see someone they know in the (Alachua County) health department." County statistics suggest that Kalt is correct. Kalt's office, the Victim Services and Rape Crisis Center, counseled 18 UF students in 2002, 19 in 2003 and six for the first half of 2004. University Police department figures, however, show that four students reported sexual battery in 2002 and six in 2003, according to its Web site. The data for 2004 has not been updated. While Kalt couldn't comment on how UPD responds to sexual assaults, she said that victims suffer emotional stress and can easily be intimidated hy authority. "Police are there to investigate allegations," Kalt said. "Some legitimate questions may add insult to injury because the victim feels like the police are suggesting that they have an ulterior motive." Although many police detectives are "wonderful," not all are as sensitive as they should be, she said. I can't tell victims that the cops will necessarily be supportive," Kalt said. "Reporting a crime is not always an empowering experience." Members of the UF Campus National Organization for Women recently accused university police of not taking sexual assault victims seriously.

William Page, Kirby Ingram and Cory McFadden, all Kappa Alpha pledges, were approached by a University Police officer after pulling into the service drive of the iappa Alpha house, situated at 5A Fraternity Row, on March 18, according to police reports. Page's gray pickup truck reportedly was driving down Fraternity Row, its flatbed containing several large signs with posts, concrete and dirt on the end. Reports state the pledges told police they were instructed by Kappa Alpha members to steal the signs for for a party the next day. Several small signs, also for the party, were removed from the house as well. "This has Bullins been the most typical type of hazing we have seen -the type of scavenger hunt activities," said Chris Buins, director of Greek Life. He also said fraternity presidents, as well as their new member educators, are required to attend workshops where they are warned against using hazing practices. "They learn which outcomes should and should not take place, and we make sure new member education is in compliance with university expectations," he said. Kappa Alpha officials accepted responsibility for members' actions at a Wednesday hearing. A sanctioning hearing soon will take place to determine their punishment. Page's truck and the signs retrieved were all taken to the east compound at the UPD station, where they will be held until the owners of the signs are notified. Kappa Alpha President Dan Boda did not return phone calls seeking comment. UF health program pushes students-to get into shape 0 THE PROGRAM IS BASED ON THE TV SHOW "THE BIGGEST LOSER." By SARAH CARIBALLO Alligator Contributing-Writer The challenge is not to win but to lose. The Greater Gator Challenge -is a health program that started this semester. Participating UF students learn to build an exercise-and-meal plan they can use to develop healthy lifestyles. Though based on the NBC show "The Biggest Loser," in which the contestant who lost the most weight won $250,000, there is no trophy or prize at stake in the local version. "We were thinking about doing goals, but with goals you have successes and failures," said Nick Clayton, coordinator for strength and conditioning at U. "It then becomes about body image, and that's not what it's about." Clayton said the idea for the Greater Gator Challenge stemmed from "The Biggest Loser" because the show was so bad and portrayed weight loss so negatively that he wanted to do something to counter it. Of the 150 students who applied, six were chosen. Each student was assigned a coach who was a graduate assistant, program assistaht or coordinator in the Division of Recreational Sports. "One of the things we looked at was whether they had injuries because they wouldn't be able to keep up with the physical demands," Clayton said. "We needed people that were going to be better-served." Students were placed on an eight-week beginner program, consisting of circuit training and cardiovascular exercise, that will end the last week of school. UF nutritionist Melanie Brede met with participants once a week to talk about their progress. Clayton said the students are not placed on a strict diet but instead learn how to eat balanced meals and determine when they are full. "They are learning how to make healthy choices because it is a long-term process," he said. "We are trying to get them to enjoy their workout-program, not burn them out." According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the only way to lose weight safely and keep it off requires long-term changes in daily eating and exercise habits The FDA recommends losing about a .pound a week. One pound of fat is equal to 3,500 calories, so a reduction of 500 calories per day will achieve this goal. "We were thinking about doing goals, but with goals you have successes and failures. It then becomes about body image, and that's not what it's about." Nick Clayton UF strength and conditioning fitness coordinator UF journalism sophomore Sara Cunnard, a participant in the program, calls the meal plan "intuitive eating." Students rate their fullness on a scale of one to 10, five being neutral and anything under it being hungry. Curmard said the coaches "run [them] ragged," bqt she appreciates the motivation. "I can personally notice a huge change in the way I feel every day, the way I carry myself and the way my clothes fit," she said. "I am definitely pleased." Economics junior and challenge participant Justin Wortley, 21, agreed that the coaches are encouraging and assure him of success. "They encourage me that my goals can be reached if I give it my all," Wortley said. His goal is to develop a healthy lifestyle he can maintain himself once the program is over. He does not want anything too strict, he said. "I don't think it's that hard to be motivated," he said. "I.keep thinking of what-will happen at the 'end. I just go for my goal. It helps me a lot." Wortley said he and his fellow participants feel the program is going to benefit them in the long run. He said he thinks it is a great program for people who lack motivation but want to improve and change their lifestyles. UF students can get advice on starting a workout plan by contacting the Division of Recreational Sports. Clayton said all students are entitled to two free personal training sessions per semester and can make appointments to get free fitness profiles done. It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature.

The truck, moving at "a very slow rate of speed," knocked Garland to the ground and then drove over him, Gainesville Police spokesman Keith Kameg said. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Gainesville Police ruled the incident an accident. GPD considers Garland's death as the third traffic fatality in Gainesville this year. It is the fifth this year in the region. VIDEO GAME SPURS ABUSE CHARGE: A local woman was arrested for child neglect, and her 14-year-old relative was arrested for aggravated child abuse Tuesday. Ethel Mae Edwards, 47, went to work Sunday afternoon, leaving her grandsons, ages two and four, with a young male relative for about eight hours, reports state. After playing a video game, the teenager and the youngest grandson started "acting out" scenes from the game -Electronic Arts' "Def Jam Fight for NY," Kameg said. The teen repeatedly threw the victim onto the floor and struck him in the face with a fist and a wooden stake borrowed from a campaign sign, the report states. "We're almost in shock at the police department that the 2-year-old wasn't hurt any more than he was," Kameg said. The teen allegedly told Edwards over the phone that the victim sustained a swollen eye after running into a bathtub faucet. But when Edwards returned home, she discovered the child also had a bloody and bruised lip, scrapes across his face and fingernail scratches on his chest, stomach and legs, as well as a bruised spleen. Although Edwards treated the child's injuries with ice and witch hazel, she failed to seek medical attention for him. It was only after the mother returned two days later that he was rushed to the hospitalEdwards is being held in the Alachua County Jail. The teenager is being held at the county Juvenile Detention Center. -MEGAN V. WINSLOW Marine conference starts N OF SPECIAL INTEREST ARE SPECIES NATIVE TO FLORIDA. By SKYLER SMITH Alligator Writer ssmith@alligator.org The health of Florida's marine mammals will be the topic of a four-day conference beginning today at the UF Hilton Hotel and Conference Center. "We wanted to have a forum .so that people from all over the country interested in marine health can exchange ideas," said UF veterinary medicine professor and conference organizer Roger Reep. The College of Veterinary Medicine, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience are sponsors. Presentations at the conference will address, among other topics, the present and future health of manatees, bottlenose .dolphins, pygmy sperm whales and northem right whales -all species indigenous to Florida waters. Speakers from such organizations as the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute will be among attendees. The late registration fee is $125 for UF students and $200 for the general public, according to the conference's Web site. Late registration takes place today from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the UF Hilton Hotel and Conference Center, located west of campus directly across Southwest 13th Street. Lunch will be provided for all attendees on both Friday and Saturday, and final summaries of all the conference speeches will be presented Sunday morning. Reep said he encourages the public to attend any of the scheduled On lectures but said he thinks CaMPUS Saturday's lecture on manatee-related boat safety will be of particular interest to locals. "It addresses the issue of how do you have boats and manatees together in Florida without killing all the manatees," Reep said. The Saturday session will include speakers from both the boating and manatee activist communities. Individual admission can be purchased for that lecture only at a cost of $40. This year marks the second time the conference has been held. At the. first conference in 2002, Reep said, about 150 people attended; he added that he expects about the same number of attendees this year. "The marine-manmal community is not that large. These are 100 key people," he said of the conference's attendees. All proceeds will go toward the cost of the event. ARE YOU INTERESTED?

6, ALLIGATOR N THURSDAY, APRIL 7,2005 Backward bill Student 'freedom' would cost professors their own think everyone will agree that college students shouldn't be persecuted for disagreeing with a professor. Students shouldn't be afraid of expressing their own views because they see others who do so receive penalties to their grades. "Academic freedom," as the title of Rep. Baxley's bill puts it, should be protected at all costs. True academic freedom, however, respects the rights of professors to express their views just as much as it does those of students. Were this bill merely a mechanism through which students could seek redress for the actions of intolerant professors who unfairly reduced their grade out of spite, it would be acceptable -though ultimately superfluous, considering already-existent university policies to counteract such occurrences. This bill would do far more. Not only could students sue over unfairly lowered grades, but they also could sue any time they felt singled out for "public ridicule." An extreme example of this is the restrictions that the bill puts on the use of the Socratic method in the classroom. Under the bill, students called upon by professors to defend their beliefs in class could sue. Frankly, any student who isn't willing to defend their beliefs in an open discussion shouldn't be complaining about being forced to swallow beliefs they don't like. If you want someone to take your beliefs seriously, then you'd better be willing to fight for them. And if a professor doesn't take your beliefs seriously, so what? You get through the class, give all "Poor" marks on the teacher evaluation form and go on with your life. Professors also should not be forced to teach views they do not view as valid. If a biology teacher does not want to discuss intelligent design in order to provide a counter to evolution -to use the example that keeps getting tossed around -then he or she should not have to. It is not the job of professors to teach every existing theory on every single topic to students. It is their job to teach the ones they feel are necessary after their years and years of study in the field. A professor discussing a controversial subject such as human development certainly would be remiss if they didn't mention one of the most popular theories -creationism, in this case -but taking legal action against them would be blowing the situation way out of proportion. If students doen't like the theories presented in class, they can use the thinking and research skills they learn in college to find alternatives. Students need to grow up, and Baxley and the other legislators need to give them an opportunity to do so. You have a right to complain because your paper on why creationism is better than evolution comes back with a failing grade and the words "Bite me, Christian boy!" are written across the top in red pen. You don't have a right to sue because some mean old professor hurt your feelings by making you look silly in front of a bunch of people whom you wanted to think you were cool. 40the inidependent florida allig ti-A Dwayne Robinson Matt Sanchez EDITOR OPINIONS EDITOR Mike Gimignani Lauren Flanagan MANAGING EDITOR Diana Middleton Craig Singleton EDITORIAL BOARD TI, A6i6ator encorages omments from readers.

Opinions o \A 91 &N IZ ohU ALLIGATOR www.aIigator.org/opinions' 0, 11 Column UF keeps records out of the sunshine ederal law rightly protects the privacy of Social Security numbers, grades and other information of university students. But UF officials have used the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 as a broad shield against complying .with requests for public records. In some cases, the university has blocked information that they had given the Alligator just last year. Following March's Student Government elections, for example, the Alligator requested copies of the sign-in sheets at polling locations. The request was denied due to federal privacy concerns, even though the only information that would be on the sheets was who voted and where. That same information for any resident voting in local, state or federal elections in Florida would be open to the public. Yet, according to U, SG does not have to comply with those requests. What is unacceptable is that the university has no qualms about releasing students'names or privacy concerns when it is to its benefit. Each year, UF sends out hundreds of press releases and other information to the media announcing breakthroughs in research, award or scholarship recipients and other outstanding student accomplishments. Just this week, UF student Danny DePaz's name made it into The Washington Post in an Associated Press story, but not because he won an award or a Rhodes Scholarship. A rabid bat bit him, and University Police released his name. If UF and its General Counsel's office are going to take such a firm and broad view of FERPA and its privacy protections, then their standard should apply to all information released to the media, just not that which may damage the university and its student-run gover nent. Should UF not publicize Joseph Wilson and Edwin Homan for winning Goldwater Scholarships? Should the university remove Dwayne Student Body President-elect Joe Robinson Goldberg's name from the voting Editorial Notebook record of meetings of UF's Board drobinson@alligator.org of Trustees, which helps set tuition rates? Should the University Athletic Association remove the names of Matt Walsh, David Lee and other basketball players from their jerseys and press kits? The answer is no. That is neither practical nor should it be necessary. The media, and henceforth our community, should know about student research, scholarship and accomplishments. On the other hand, the press also has the obligation to be a watchdog of the university administration and SG and to give a full account of the university and its operations, whether it be negative or positive. Theuniversity's General Counsel's office will not change its policy unless the press and other First Amendment groups fight to keep Florida's public records in the sunshine. If not, we at UF will face situations similar to those facedat Manatee Community College in Bradenton, where administrators redacted _the names of Student Allocations Committee members from meeting records due to so-called FERPA restrictions.

THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 7 Letters to the Editor Anti-elitist push would make UF mediocre Editor: Though well written, I find your Tuesday article to be a bit strange. I don't fault you for anything you said; in fact, I find your article to be refreshingly objective. What I do fault, however, is the we-must-include-everyone attitude, which, in my opinion, is just another way of saying let's-be-mediocre-sowe-can-make-mediocre-people-feel-good-too. In my opinion, one of the worst problems in America is that everyone thinks that they're important. On a "micro" level, such as with family and friends, this probably is true. But on a "macro" level, such as with society, it's not (necessarily). So, that means some people start complaining that UF is too elitist or too exclusive or too expensive, when in reality there are at least twice as many colleges and universities now as there were when UF was founded. The number probably is several multitudes more than double, but you get my point. I cannot stand those persons who would rather cause success to stagnate than fan the embers of progression and recognize the significance of higher research. Sure, there's the pride of being the best in the field -a pride some dislike because of envy -but there also are societal rewards from excellence that need to be fostered for the bettennent of our state's communities. In truth, if the less-advantaged but nonetheless equally-intelligent are not. way to UF, then something needs But if the concern is exclusivity thr standards, then students will just their way into one of the ma "newer" universities that provi opportunities to those merely lc good college education.

8, ALLIGATOR N THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 2005 Making professors fear lawsuits harms the learning process T he first article regarding the "Academic Bill of Rights" says students would be able to sue teachers who present and force a view upon their students. The example given was that of a professor teaching evolution and making kids -even religious ones -learn it. A student who expressed his view of creationism -and then felt slighted by the professor when he continued to teach evolution -could then sue the professor. I don't believe any such suit would stand up in a court of law, but the fact that our elected officials are trying to tell our tenured professors what they can and cannot teach our students is out of place and a waste of our inoney. Rep. Dennis Baxley (R-Ocala) is writing this bill based on 10 or 20 students who complained their grades have been affected by what they call "liberal" professors. The reason this is a waste of our money is that there is already a system in place to handle this type of thing: If you feel you've been slighted by a professor or have a general problem with something that's happened in class, you may file a grievance with the university. Then, they take you to a room full of people in suits who make a decision based on what happened. Conservatives should be Chris-Singleton happy with that, because when's Speaking Out the last time any of us saw a "leftist extremist" wearing a suit? Rep. Baxley's speaker on the matter, David Horowitz, told the Florida House of Representatives, "This bill is not to start lawsuits." Perhaps that's not the intention of the law, but giving old guys erections was not the intended purpose of Viagra. The purpose of college is not to learn a skill; that's what a trade school is for. College is intended to turn us into adults adults who can think and act on their own accord. Professors are granted tenure because they have the ability to put forth viewpoints unimaginable to most people -sometimes offensive ones. Once you've been exposed to a new view, you're supposed to think about and see how it applies to you and the world. Tenure is supposed to take away a professor's fear of action from outside groups and authorities. Our professors are some of the brightest minds we have in this country, and we have to allow them to let their minds work and tell us what happens. If not, we're limiting our marketplace of ideas. If you can't listen to a liberal professor speak and not get offended, maybe you're not grown up enough to be in a higher learning institution. I'm not saying those professors are correct, but you should be able to realize when they are off base and run to the authorities. Horowitz goes on to classify students as "kids" and says, basically, that we can't think or figure things out on our own. The argument here seems to break down two ways: Baxley and people who support this bill believe students are ignorant, sponge-brained apes unable to dismiss what the guy in the Hawaiian shirt and sandals just said. Others believe the university should be a place where all viewpoints have a place and can be heard because, if you're in college, you should be able to comprehend and dismiss ridiculousness. If you believe we're all ignorant, sponge-brained apes, then you have a superiority complex, plain and simple. This bill is wrong, and Rep. Baxley is an "ass, bigot and a slew of other names" if he's using our mental futures as a political maneuver. Chris Singleton is a tclecommunications senior. Time is now to act on promises to end genocide in the world Y esteiday marked 11 years since the begirming of the 100-day-long genocide in the African nation of Rwanda. During those 100 days, ethnic conflict spawned by a violent colonial history led to the murder of nearly one million people. While this day demands remembrance, this year, sadly, it demands more in the way of immediate action as another African nation finds itself in the midst of what can only be described as genocide. The world said "never again" after the horrors of Europe, Cambodia and, most recently, Rwanda. Now, as genocide is once again occurring -this time in Sudan -the international community finds itself witness to the kinds of crimes against humanity it vowed to prevent so many times before. During the past two-and-a-half years, a militia-led and government-backed campaign of ethnic cleansing has killed 400,000 civilians in Sudan's Darfur region and has displaced at least 2 million more. Sudan is home to the largest internally-displaced persons population in the world. According to the United Nations, Arab militias collectively known as the Janjaweed have been attacking villages populated by black Sudanese. These attacks include buning of homes and crops, rapes and brandings, and the brutal slaughter of men, women and children. According to Human Rights Watch, the Sudanese government is arming the militias and taking part in their crimes by using its air force to bomb villages. The Bush administration and Congress both have declared that these acts constitute genocide, and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has declared a genocide emergency for the first time. While the resolutions and declarations of governments and organizations should be praised, they are not enough to stop the violence. All that stands between life and death Ryan Femberg in Darfur is an African Mara Smith Union peacekeeping Matt Haber mission that lacks Speaking Out funding, personnel and authority. While the Janjaweed and the Sudanese government have indicated they would be less likely to commit atrocities if they faced international scrutiny and threats of prosecution, the AU force as it stands has proven itself unable to provide such pressure. A move in the right direction would be a significant increase in the size of the AU peacekeeping force and an expansion of its authority. The Darfur Accountability Act, which is. moving through Congress, holds the potential to achieve this end, as it would authorize the United States to help fund improvements to the AU force that so desperately are needed. Citizens of the United States possess great power in that they can contact their representatives in Congress to support the Darfur Accountability Act and other pieces of legislation like it. Additionally, online sources such as http://www.savedarfur.org and http:// www.genocideinterventionfund.org provide updated information about the issues and the actions individuals can take to respond. In 1994, as the horrors of Rwanda unfolded before an apathetic world conmmity U.S. National Security Adviser Anthony Lake was asked what citizens could do. He replied, "You need to make more noise." The lobbying efforts of students in Washington D.C. Tuesday, as well as the efforts of organizations such as the Genocide Intervention Fund, are helping to make the noise to stop the murders in Sudan. The vow of "never again" has been made. It's high time to start fulfilling that promise. Ryan Feinberg, Maru Smith and Matt Haber are UF students. HEALTH INSURANCE Students need Health Insurance.

By HEATHER BERGER AvendeWriter Students searcHngfor a creative experience at UF can now color their fancy with ease. The grand opening of The Studio, a new addition to the Arts and Crafts Center at the Reitz Union, introduced students last week to simple craftprojects that cater to aspiring artists lacking time, experience, and budget. "Every student can be an artist 'here," says FaitiCark, assistant diector of the Arts and Crafts Center. "It's our goal to provide peaceful, relaxing activities" Students snacked on pizza andjilice while carving designs into potato halves, one of several free printing projects offered throughout the day As opposed to the $30 semester-long membership required for the center's activities in the Reitz Union basement, stu-dents can walk into The Studio and work on a variety of projects whenever they please, Clark says. "Ourfacility in the basement is where we teach people how to make pottery and jewelry from scratch," she says. "It's more of a long-term commitment." On the contrary, The Studio offers dishware waiting to be painted and beads' readyto bestrung. "We finally recognized a need for quicker craft project," she says. "We wanted to, cater to our students." "r thInk ever olev will. love it.

She says, that gaining fiscal Ipport for the facility wasn't nearly as difficult as securing the space. A const ction delaywith the Constans Theatre kept the University Box Offic' from budging out of The Studio's way on schedule. We were supposed to move in last May, but we had'to wait 10 months because of the construction issues," she says. "It's nice to see this place up and running."

Employee Stphanie David says that they ae receiving positive feedback after hosting' events with Gator Nights and advertising around campus. "I k everyone will love it," she says. We just need to spread the word around campus." While digging swirls in her potato, Charly Bennamon, a paying student member of the Ats and Crafts Center, said The Studio will not stop her from attending more advanced courses in the basement. "Ifyoureally'want tolearn, you can get a lot from the courses offered in the Arts and Crafts Center," she says. "You just pay a fee, and you have weeks of projects to do." However, Bennamon, a senior, says she does enjoy the simplicity of the projects at The Studio. "It's cool because you don't have to make the pottery," she says. "You can just add your own flair to it." The Studio is open frot 1 to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday through Friday AdMlb

10, ALLIGATOR N THURSDAY, APRIL 7,2005 Music fest transcends genres By CHAD SMITH Avenue Writer Today marks the beginning of the 14th Annual Florida Electroacoustic Music Festival, held at the UF. Electroacoustic music is described as more of a journey through nature more than a genre that can be classified with words. You'll just have to find out for yourself. The three day festival will feature roughly 80 of the world's top electroacoustic composers in a number of events, including concerts, listening sessions and a lecture by renowned composer Morton Subotnick. A pioneer in electronic and computer-based music, Subotnick has been composing and writing since the 1960s. His lecture, "Music as Metaphor," will address the nature of music and the perspective different people have of it. "Where we are in time," says Subotnick, "is a' time when we have music available to us from every culture. Music means so many different things to so many people." The lecture will take place Friday at 12:50 p.m. and held in the UF School of Music Building, Room 120. Asidefrom Subotnick's lecture, the rest of the festival will be solely audible and will take place at the Curtis M. Phillips Performing Arts Center Black Box Theater. Festivities will get underway at 10 a.m. today with a performance by the Florida Electroacoustic Music Studio. Throughout the three days of events, the electroacoustic sounds will be played through 12 speakers and 10,000 watts of power. But hearing will not be the only sense stimulated. Light shows that will further electrify the dim concert hall will accompany select performances. There will be an international feel to the fes2 tival, as performers will hail from all over the world.Poland, Germany, Korea, Turkey and Sweden are just a few of the nations that will be represented. The Florida Electroacoustic Music Festival promises to be an experience for anyone who loves music as they know it, electronic or otherwise. But the fest might just redefine it for them. Tunes meet skates at SFCC fundraiser By JACQUELINE DAVISON Avenue Writer A mini Warped Tour-esque festival will take over SFCC on Friday at the first Rock 'n' Style Jam. Locals Hot Water Music, The Know How, The Worst and Ten13 Concept will play at the event, which doubles as a CD release party for TKH. "Now in Technicolor," TKH's third full-length release, dropped March 1 on Canada's Stomp Records. "We [recorded] it in town with Mike Rotolante," says TKH singer Skyler Stone. "[We] were able to take our time and really work on the songs in the studio, which for us is new." Recording in town allowed the band to record individually instead of waiting for other members to finish their parts. Being in Gainesville also gave the band the chance to spend more time mixing. "Me and Finch [a.k.a guitarist Jeremy Kestenbaum] actually skipped Thanksgiving to stay in the studio mixing," he says. Phil Hajal, professional skateboarder and owner of Fluid Skate Shop, came to SFCC Student Body President Laura McCormick with the idea of fusing music and skating together here in Gainesville. "It's four hours of jam packed entertainment, that's what it is," McCormck says. I There will also be six skateboarders and a demonstration by the UF and SFCC Hip Hop Collective to raise money for the Battle 4 Hunger Collective. The event, which will start at 6 p.m., is free for SFCC students and $5 to the public. Check out http:// www.gainesvillebands.com for more information.

The event featured guest soloist and composer Ray Holman. "It broke some of the preconceptions of what a steel band should sound like or look like," said Jessica Williams, a UF microbiology junior who attended the concert. Williams, who was born in Jamaica, said the music made her nostalgic. "It brings me back home," she said. Kenneth Broadway, who servers as the leader of the ensemble, said he has been working to get Holman to perform here for a long time. "I met him eight years ago at a workshop," said Broadway, also an associate professor in percussion studies. "I was taken with his ability to not only perform, but also teach." A lot of the music played by the ensemble in class was written by Holman. A majority of the concert pieces were Holman's as well, he said. Holman said he spent three days with The Sunshine Steelers ay's and s a ugh the university's department of music. Broadway said no prior steel drum experience is required for the course. But students who are taking the class should have a strong musical background, including sight-reading skills and a knowledge of pitch and tempo, he added. Holian is icedited with the introduction of jazz into panning. He also pioneered the-idea of pannists composing and arranging their own music for competition, according to the concert program. He said he gets satisfaction from knowing that the musical genre is spreading. He has played concerts all over the world, including Japan and many college campuses in the United States. This was Holman's first time performing in Florida. "People appreciate [the music] a lot here," he said. Joe's gripes a good read P aul Davidson sends weird things to companies -and even newspapers. I found his book in the pile sent to the paper last week, and I ended up missing most of the meeting because I was wrapped up in skimmng the letters Davidson wrote to Fortune 500 companies in his book "Consumer Joe: Harassing Corporate America, One Letter at a Time." But I couldn't write a book review about letters, can I? What stuck in my mind was Carpol's dedication on the title page, "To the Independent Alligator, I hope you get some laughs from this book. Everybody else has." Why no, Ron, I didn't. But you know what I am laughing about? I can't shake how funny Davidson's letter was to Starbucks asking: "Why is Starbucks so hell bent on conquest? Why do they grow each year like an infection that cannot be stopped?" I'd like to tell you why I have this book, but I can't. It's ages old -published in 2003. Authors and publishers normally send us new books. Davidson transposed his name to David Paulson and wrote customer concern, praise, complaint and suggestion letters that fall just this side of certifiably nuts. While his letters are hysterical, the replies are even more telling. How does a company treat a crazy man when they think no one is looking? He asked the Coca-Cola Company if they put the leftover New Coke the American public refused to drink during the 80s in a landfill. It's not a far stretch to imagine the Coca-Cola Cher Phillips people as a Off the Press little stiff in theavenue@alligator.org the upper lip department in their reply. I simply can't wait to shop at a -Circle K next time I see one because one of their employees actually sent Davidson a flag when he proclaimed himself co-founder of the "Circle K Fan Club," this would be in commemoration of the line "something strange is afoot at the Circle K," uttered by Keanu Reeves in "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure." Some of the companies catch on that the author neither is crazy nor complaining. When Davidson suggested that Jamba Juice try adding a fresh fish smoothie to their menu, their customer service manager sent a nod to a classic SNL episode in his reply saying the company was purchasing Bass-DMatics for pureeing whole fish. That was when Dan Aykroyd was skinny, kids. Way back. I'm not sure what you would do with this book, but I'm thinking you have to have one. I'm going to holdon to this copy really tight, click my heels together and hope beyond hope Davidson's next letter will be to Einstein's in the Hub asking why they never use enough cream cheese. Four-square trend hits UF By ALICIA PEREZ Avenue Writer It's the new fad around campus. It is a little more competitive than how you played it in elementary school. Forget Thefacebook and MySpace, this is a different way to meet new people. Who would have ever thought that 4square yielded such power? You have seen them playing every week, with a line of eager people who will unknowingly befriend "Prime Real Estate" and "Maverick," the co-founders of this new trend. Prime Real Estate and Maverick, who prefer to keep their true identities hidden from those who don't already know them, were inspired by two friends who created a 4-square club six years ago at Ball State University in Indiana. "I would love say it is an original idea, but it isn't," Prime Real Estate laughs. The idea of a club solely dedicated to the game of 4-square inspired both gentlemen to begin one of their own halfway during the fall semester. With a nice following, they have been able to make it a weekly event on campus, with several off-campus events as well, Maverick says. They play every Friday on Turlington Plaza at 9:30 a.m. until "the person with the ball needs to go home," he says. "What I love best about this is that is brings a large dynamic of people together for a good time," Maverick says. "I have met a lot of cool people that I am fortunate enough to call my friends, and I just love doing it." But don't think it stops with just a friendly game of 4-square of Fridays, Prime Real Estate adds. They are preparing for a 4square tournament on April 22. "Everyone is invited to come," they both say. "It is going to be during the reading days so more people can participate. We actually want some more girls to come and give the guys some competition." The tournament will be individual and team competition. The warm-up will be from 9:30 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. The registration will be from 10:25 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. with the main event starting at 10:30. But one of the biggest questions surrounding this group are the aliases, as Prime Real Estate calls them, that people receive after only playing a few games. You do not get to chose your own names, says Maverick, whose name was chosen by Prime Real Estate awhile back without a specific reasoning. He says the name is given to the person based on certain moves that he or she may do during any given game. "There are different aliases like Tear Drop or Loose Cannon for example," Maverick explains. "These names just stem from the different techniques they use." On the other hand, Prime Real Estate, whose name originated outside of Leonardo's, says that some people just come in with aliases in mind but also mentioned that the one thing to remember was, "a good 4-square alias is like a fine wine. Sometimes it takes years to fully ferment, so no one should make haste in coming up with a good 4square name." Whether it is a yearning for an earlier time in your life when your biggest worry was if -you were going to become a school patrol, or a chance to meet new people -the game of 4-sqaure will bring all this and more.

THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 13 PLAYLIST musicians, computer beats to interface at Faces By KEELEY MCCARTY Avenue Writer The computer's name is Swtchrly. It's the backbone of Dance, Jenny's electronic pop beats. Dance, Jenny is a semi-local band composed of Sean Kravit, a UF video production senior; his cousin Kai Kravit, a Miami high school student; and Alex Fenf, a former SFCC student. "We can all play every instrument we have," Sean says, but he usually mans the electric guitar, Fenf plays drums and Kai sings. Swtchrly blasts beats, keyboard and whatever else is needed. The trio -and Swtchrly -'will play Saturday night at Faces Lounge in the company of Waterford Landing, Men's Shoes and local Vox in the electronically themed show, presented by Electronic SubSouth and Glory Days. Electronic SubSouth, headed by Christopher Miller, is a small collective of people dedicated to establishing an electronic music scene in Gainesville. They bring together local electronic artists for shows as often as possible. The Saturday show will be Dance, Jenny's third show in Gainesville, a preview to their debut albtun, "La Musica Pop," scheduled to release under the indie label Poplife Records some time this summer. Prior to the LP release, the band will release an EP featuring the single "Paperweights" and a remix of "Sex is Free," done by Styrofoam, a Belgian electronic pop artist. Their music has a Postal Service feel, with mellow vocals and chill beats. Sean says "La Musica Pop" starts off poppy, then transitions into a darker mix of songs designed to make you think. "We've been working on [the album] for a long time -a year I think," Fenf says. With the members of the band split between Gainesville and South Florida, Dance, Jenny has had to improvise, sending ideas back and forth via computer. After Sean graduates from UF this year, the band plans to move to Orlando to work on their music. Kai will attend UCF. Along with their music comes a certain vocabulary, Sean said. They like to abbreviate words such as appetizer to app, and if they like something, it's a "sweet little" something. Not only are the guys of Dance, Jenny musically in tune, but they sound like people who would throw a eight party. The Faces show starts at 9:30 p.m. and costs $5 for 21 and up and $6 otherwise.

Ho L do I get huan to get more areoge tos tl er to -itkd L'vanrd concentrate on M? iser own baseness d -C.P. Dear Plagued by the Past,. Maybe you should have kept your legs closed (kidding!) In a town rampant with alcohol and scantily clad hotties, everyone has skeletons (and possibly whips and chains) in their closets. But few coeds actually fess up to past sexual indiscretions, so kudos to you for being honest. Unfortunately, some people uphold the double standard that women should sit at home knitting while men run wild in pursuit of moist holes. But hey, knitting doesn't illicit orgasms (believe me, I've tried). Ladies have needs, too. Now that you no longer feel like a dirty slut (you're just an honest slut), let's address -the boyfriend. Your man might feel inadequate because he's had less experience. He also might feel pressure to measure up to all of your previous partners. Tell him he's better (and bigger) than them (it's OK to be a little dishonest in this department .he doesn't need to know Stud No. 7 was by far the best you've ever had.) Stroking a man's ego is just as important as stroking him below the belt. If he never gets past your past, you can endure the cross examinations, or you can find someone who's obsessed with you, not the dudes you've done. Dear Perturbed by Parental Prodding, Maybe Mom thinks hearing about that orgy at a frat house will bring you two closer. Maybe she wants some tips. Maybe she's just a pervert. My guess is she's just worried. With all of the young mothers and STDs floating around, some parents think an active sex life means their kid is on the road to gonorrhea and illegitimate babies. You're not 15 anymore. She shouldn't be questioning your sex life. But while she doesn't need to know the dirty details, she Jump Your deserves to know you're Bones Jones protecting yourself. Assure her that Undercovers .you're safe. If you are unddrcovers2005@yahoo.com sexually active, visit the gyno once a year and use birth control in addition to a condom. Let your mom know these services are readily available (yikes, I'm starting to sound like a mom now.) If mommy dearest still doesn't let up, offer to send her a video of your next erotic encounter. At least you won't have to engage in another awkward conversation, and she can see for herself you're practicing safe sex. LAST Band defies the Man By NATHANIEL DEAS Avenue Writer Ah, the life of a rock star. Tours through Europe, fans all over the world, working your own hours .it seems pretty sweet -even if you have to drive your own van from show to show. "We have two vans," Southern Culture on the Skids drummer Dave Hartman says. "Today we're going from Austin to Little Rock; it's about a 10-hour drive." Described as an Appalachian surf band, Southern Culture on the Skids is on a non-stop, month-long tour throughout the South before heading off to Europe in May. "-Anyone who owns their own business will tell you one of the perks is that you work your own hours, but you tend to work 24 hours a day," Hartman says. "But at least you're not answer7 ing to-the Man." With drives from Texas to Arkansas to Tennessee to Florida, Hartman admits the band members have a lot of free time on their hands. "We read a lot and listen to whatever CDs we scored at the last place we were and just sleep," he says. It's a different story on the stage, however. "We'll be throwin' out fried chicken and getting girls on stage to dance, camel walk and belly dancing," Hartman says. "I don't know, we just sort of have a good time. "And, you know, if you've been working all day long, you don't want to go hear a bunch of 'crying in your beer' music. You want to have a good time, and that's what we try to do." Southern Culture on the Skids, who will be driving to the Market Street Pub on Saturday, are no strangers to Gainesville. "We're really looking forward to [the show]," Hartman says. "We had a blast the last time we were there, and we always have a good time in Gainesville." Based out of Chapel Hill, N.C., Southern Culture on the Skids has a large range of musical influences. "Generally we do a mix of all sorts of Southern based types of music," Hartman says. "Anything from surf music, which isn't necessarily Southern, but country and roots and blues and early rock 'n' roll and R&B and just, you know, all of these sounds originated in the South." Doors open at 9 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance or $15 at the door and can be purchased at Smoke, Hyde and Zeke, Blockbuster Video and No Future. "It'll be a damn good time," he says. "You'll hear really good music, you'll have fun, you might even get laid." WoRK IN Cc 1NCtUN 50'~#u111 1%~ ( Pe, aP~srr' Giro N 725 0705 ext 903 f t k Take a moment of peace for yourself, everyday.

THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 15 ON CAMPUS Daredevil rides against stereotypes N STUDENT GOVERNMENT ALSO WILL SPONSOR AN EVENT TONIGHT. By NEIL HUGHES Alligator Writer nvughesaliigatororg If anyone happens to see a man on a wheelchair hanging on to the back of a moving bus around Gainesville, don't be alarmed. He's Canadian.

To promote the event, Deith rode the ramps at the Broward Skateboard Park on Wednesday afternoon, in an effort to show that "disabled" may be a misnomer. Deith, 24, has been wheelchair-bound since a motorcycle accident infirmed him more than three years ago. Since then, he has found alternative ways to get an adrenaline fix, including riding skateboard ramps on his Quickie R2 manual wheelchair. "It's just kind of a daydream I had one day," Deith said. "I just tried it out on a small ramp. I've crashed lots, but I've never let it let me down." Those crashes left him with Nick West / Alligator Staff Tyler Deith prepares to drop in from a skateboard ramp while in his wheelchair on campus Wednesday. serious injuries, including a the back of moving cars, also broken arm and toe. known as "skitching." But none of that keeps "If there's a minivan that Deith from some daring can't see behind it, I just sneak stunts, including hanging off on and grab a free ride," he said. Deith's adventures in skitching include an 80-kilometer-per-hour trip on the back of a friend's car, as well as a ride on the back of a Regional Transit System bus. "It's cool," he said of being carried along behind the bus through downtown Gainesville. "You can be retarded outside your hometown; it doesn't matter." Deith can also do a spine transfer, a rock 'n' roll and a nose manual -tricks difficult even for those who ride skateboards. Deith and other speakers will be delivering a keynote address at "Building a Disability Movement" today at 7 p.m. in the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom. Renowned sexologist Mitch Tepper, singer and former adult film star Bridget "the Midget" Powerz, syndicated talk show host Greg Smith and artist Sunny Taylor also will be speakers, according to a press release. Conference chairwoman Bethany Stevens said Wednesday's event with Deith was important because it showed the abilities of disabled people. "Our desire is to start to break down the pervasive negative assumption that disabled people are asexual and challenge the social epidemic of fearing the failure to conform to normal notions of beauty," Stevens said.

16, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, APRIL 7,2005 Fraternity members tutor local students U IFC MEMBERS HAVE FOCUSED ATTENTION ON LOCAL MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. By KYLIE CRAIG Alligator Writer kcraig@alligator.org UF fraternity members have been using their spare time to give back to local students through a new community tutoring program. Representatives from Interfraternity Council chapters have been tutoring kids at P.K. Yonge Middle School as Greek part of the program. L H They also have given speeches to Buchholz High School freshmen, encouraging the teenagers to make good choices. IFC Service Director Chris Ferrante said the volunteers are working hard to put a lot of time and energy into the program. "Sometimes it's easier for a college student to get through to younger students because they respect us and feel like they are on a closer level to us than their teachers or administrators," he said. Fraternity members volunteering at P.K. Yonge have tutored students after school three days a week in math, science and English. Travis Mydock, project leader for the middle school program, said it's great to see the impact the volunteers have on the younger students. "The kids really enjoy it. They always ask if we're coming back next week," he said. The program at Buchholz High School is focused more toward teaching kids to make better choices in high school and beyond. "We really emphasize education and extracurriculars," highschool project leader Jim Lang said. "We want to help them to be successful in high school and to prepare them for success in college and their future careers." Both Lang and Mydock said plans are being made to expand the programs to other local schools. "We're trying to develop a relationship in the community and we want this relationship to last for years to come," Ferrante said. Quality In Everything We Do @2005 ERNST & YOUNG LLP

THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 17 Gay couples stage unions to promote marriage rights By ALEJANDRA CANCINO Alligator Contributing Writer A pagan high priest and a rabbi declared five couples mock husbands and wives -and husband and husband, and wife and wife -Wednesday on the Reitz Union North Lawn. As part of the event called On "My Big Fat Gay Wedding," C rM M PUt three homosexual and two heterosexual couples married to show support for same-sex couples' rights and to increase awareness on campus, said Piramno Rosetta, Pagan Student Union president and coordinator of the event. "We should not be discriminated because of our sexual orientations," Rosetta said. "We have the love between two people, and that's the most important thing in marriage." Rabbi Jonathan Siger of Hillel at UF and Rosetta, who also is a pagan high priest, presided over the ceremonies. The Rev. Nevin Wertenberger from the Trinity Metropolitan Community Church in Ocala was also scheduled to appear but never showed up. About 25 students witnessed the unions of Rosetta and Cory Wise; Anna Khorosh and Amanda Willingham; Jon McCahill and Christian Sy; Kyle Orta and Pepijn Van Kesteren; and Adelle Fontanet and Russell Semmel. NeCK west/ Alligator Staff Piramno Rosetta and Cory Wise are "married" by Rabbi Jonathan Siger on the Reitz Union North Lawn on Wednesday as part of Pride Awareness Week. Tamara Cohen, the director for Lesbian, said. Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Affairs, "[Same-sex marriages] are about people said there are many misconceptions about getting equal protection under the law," same-sex marriages. Cohen said. "There are 1,049 protections The weddings are not about the cake for married people that gay people don't and the suit but about legal rights, she have." Cohen explained that gay couples do not have the right to visit each other in the hospital or file taxes together, and they cannot sponsor an immigrant partner for U.S. citizenship. "[Same-sex marriages] are about people getting equal protection under the law. There are 1,049 protections for married people that gay people don't have." Tamara Cohen director for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Affairs Siger said homosexuals commit to their partners as any heterosexuals do, and thus their weddings should be celebrated even if they cannot be sanctified. "Even homosexuals have a home in the Jewish community," Siger said. After Rosetta married the first three couples, Siger married Rosetta to Wise, and Student Sen. Semmel to Fontanet, head facilitator for Pride Student Union. "I'm not gay myself," Semmel said. "I'm participating in this because everyone deserves to have the same rights. I have many close gay friends, and I hope this demonstrates that they have the same abilities as I do." .My Big Fat Gay Wedding was part of Pride Awareness Month. --.' on't miss out 20o p s /W2 3 a 'ZsOUnt!

18, ALLIGATOR K THURSDAY, APRIL 7,2005 UF delegation discusses student-centered bills with legislators GATOR DAY, from page I Michael Moore's speech at UF last year. But SG Lobby Director Robert Mack said Baxley was receptive to students' concerns. "We talked about that, and he said from what he can tell we won't have to worry about this bill this year," Mack said. Gov. Job Bush and Senate President Tom Lee have both questioned whether the law is necessary, and the bill has yet to reach the Senate. The main thing Baxley wanted to do was provoke discussions on university campuses to ensure that conservative voices aren't discriminated against, Mack said. The student delegation also met with Sen. Lee Constantine, R-Altamonte Springs, who proposed a bill that would charge students out-of-state tuition rates if they take more than 115 percent of the hours needed to graduate. The bill would also give students up to a $1,000 tuition rebate if they graduated without taking extra classes. Several amendments filed this week have made the bill more student-friendly, including one that specified that classes taken for double majors do not count against the total. "I think the whole UF day was a chance for us to get our message out and priorities heard, and I think we did that." Robert Mack SG lobby director Hours earned through internship credits and courses that a student drops due to medical or personal hardship also would not count against the student. Mack said the day was a success. I think the whole UF day was a chance for us to get our message out and priorities heard, and I th-ink we did that," he said. He and Sowell also plan on venturing to Tallahassee a few more times during the remainder of the legislative session to ensure that UF funding priorities are met, Mack said. The delegation capped the day with a party on the viewing deck of the 22nd floor of the Capitol building, where members enjoyed catered food, an open bar and sunset views of the city to the strains of a live jazz band. Plus, they got out of class.

THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 19 Lesbian poet speaks about Jamaican heritage, sex By LINDSAY TAULBEE' Alligator Writer ltaulbee@aligator.org Sex, masturbation and Bert and Ernie were all fair game Wednesday night in the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom, as poet Staceyann Chin leaped off the stage, through the aisles and onto chairs while performing her poetry. Chin and riore than a dozen local performers entertained almost 250 students with original works of poetry during "Outspoken," hosted by Pride Awareness Month and co-organized by The Apartment Poets. "Staceyann Chin is just so dynamic that there's no way you can't be involved in her. piece," Apartment Poets founding member Kristie Soares said. "She interacts with her body in a way other poets don't," she said. "We should all aspire to be a little more like Staceyann Chin." Her poems covered a broad range of topics, including her experience as a lesbian, her Jamaican background and politics. She encouraged students to masturbate -"It cures everything," she said -and told the audience that having sex without ever having masturbated is "like telling people to come visit you, and you don't know how to get to your own home." "Imagination is the bridge between the things we know for sure and the things we need to believe when ourworlds become unbearable," she recited during her poem "And These Are Only Some of the Things I Believe." Included as things she believes in were Santa Claus, monsters under the bed, so children have something to conquer, "and contrary to popular belief, I believe On Bert and Ernie are straight." C'ITlpUlS Her poem "Lesbian Chasing Straight," told how she had been advised to lure a straight woman. "Only in private do we confess to each other that straight girls require too much effort," she recited, to the audience's cheers. 'In an interview after the performance, Chin explained how she began to use poetry as a means of expression. She said she came to New York -irom Jamaica because it was virtually "illegal" in Jamaica to be lesbian, as nationals frown upon that lifestyle. "I found that being black (in the United States) is kind of like being illegal," she said. "So I started speaking out." Pride Awareness Month, the UP English department, the Center for Latin American Studies, the Center for Women's Studies and Gender Research, the Black Student Association, Volunteers for International Student Affairs and LGBT Affairs sponsored the event.

20, ALLIGATOR MUTHURSDAY, APRIL 7, 2005 AROUND GAINESVILLE Board debates redeveloping local historic district By IVETTE MENDEZ Alligator Writer imendez@alligator.org The extent of potential residential development of an area bordering UF's campus hinges on certain building restrictions to be negotiated. with Historical Preservation Society officials. The redevelopment advisory board for the College Park/ University Heights historical district, which spans the east side of UF's campus and part of its northem boumdary, met Wednesday to discuss the possible impact of new urban development on the area. .Though the area was designated a historical district about two years ago, the board is now discussing the repercussions that classification will have on future student apartment structures, Chairman Bradley Pollitt said. The job of the board is to develop the area as much as possible without infringing on the historical district requirements. The board previously comissioned Paul Miller from Miller Slayton Architects to complete a "It definitely has an impact." Bradley Pollitt College Park/University Heights board chairman study of possible different building styles based on various restrictions caused by the area's zoning designation, Polltt said. Due to its historical designation, future developments in the area must follow specific restrictions. Miller's study presented the number of apartments that could be built on one potential lot, depending on the Historical Preservation Society's final decision as to what restrictions it is willing to reconsider. "It definitely has an impact," Pollitt said. Miller presented three different scenarios, each -containing about four structure options for a University Heights apartment complex. Without the historical district restrictions, the study showed there could be more than 30 apartments on a specific lot, but with the restrictions, only about 20 could be built, Pollitt said. Restrictions include new buildings matching the height of existing surrounding structures, certain roof shapes and rear.and side yards that extend to the street, recommended at approximately 10 feet to match the yards of surrounding properties. After the board reviews the study's findings, it will go back to the Historical Preservation Society to negotiate a compromise as to facilitate the area's growth, Pollitt said.

32, ALLIGATOR .THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 2005 Top 50 Moments in UF Sports History: No. 20 -11 alligatorSports.org's Top 50 countdown enters the Final 20. Log on to alligatorSports.org to view a digital image of the article as it appeared in print. 20. Alabama Getaway -11/29/1923 -The experts gave UF absolutely no chance, making the Tide 10-to-1 favorites. More than 7,000 showed up to watch Alabama, the top team in the South, score another big win. But UF, down 6-0 early, wouldn't give up another point, escaping Birmingham with a shocking 16-6 victory. The Alligator read: "[The victory] will place the Florida aggregation first among all football teams in the south." 19. Swindle in the Swamp -11/29/2003 -Bobby Bowden called it the best UF-FSU game of his tenure, and this is a man who was on the right end of The Choke at Doak. UF players and fans called it a nightmare. Not only did the Gators watch Chris Rix connectwith Dominic Robinson foran improbable fourth-and-14 first down, but moments later Rix found P.K. Sam for a 52-yard touchdown, giving FSU a 38-34 win. Controversial referee calls -all going FSU's way -marred the outcome. 18. A National Champion -6/22/1968 In the 62 years since UF opened in Gainesville, the Gators had won several SEC ohampionships in various sports, but never a national title. Although an eightStroke 1ead would shrink to two, the Gators held off Houston in the NCM men's golf championship, winningthe title. 17. Not Enough Sugar -1/1/1965 -Just as the Gators trailed No. 6 Missouri,2,-0 heading into the fourth quarter of the Sugar Bowl, there came, as the Alligator put it, "[Steve Spurrier] the slow speakingjunior All-America." Spurrier let it fly, firing three touchdown passes and putting UF right back in contention. But the Gators kept going for the two-point conversion, failing each time., Irfthe end there just wasn't enough time, and UF fell 20-18. Spurrier still won MVP, breaking five Sugar Bowl records. 16. Miller Time -3/17/2000 -A year after making it to the Sweet 16, the Gators were about to bow out in the first round to lowly Butler. Down 68-67 in overtime and with the clock about to expire, Mike Miller hit a driving jumper to give UF the win that would eventually propel them into the NCAA Finals. 15. It's Official. Gators win SEC -11/16/1991 -An uneventful 35-26 win against Kentucky Clinched the SEC Championship for UP It marked the first time the Gators could officially call lhenelves kings of the SEC. The Gators actually finished first in the conference in 1984, 1985 and 1990, but probation leftthe Gators out of the championship picture.14. The Swamp Arrives -11/8/1930 -After 'UF's breakout season of 1928, the Gators needed a large stadium to accommodate the ever-growing fan base. Sorme things never change, because the Alligator's headline a week before read: "Campus Aroused Over SEating." It seems the students weren't happy with their allotted seats. 13. The Florida Flop -11/27/1971 -It left UF fans thrilled, Miami fans outraged and John Reaves a legend. UF quarterback Reaves needed 14 yards for the NCAA career passing yards record, but Miami, down 45-8, had the ball with 1:. 10 remaining. It seemed unlikely UF would get the ball back, so Coach Doug Dickey ordered the Gators defense to "flop" to the ground and allow Miami to enter the end zone untouched. UF did get the ball, Reaves broke the record, and Miami fans are still angry to this day. 12. The Fiasco Bowl -1/2/1996 -After so many years of trying to win a national title, UF finally was one win away from an NCAA Championship. So 'what happened? Nebraska demolished the Gators in the Fiesta Bowl, 62-24. For weeks the joke was "I think Nebraska just scored again." 11. Wunderffel -12/14/1996 -Quarterback Danny Wuerffel wasn't the biggest football story of 1996the national championship topped all plots. But Wuerffel did walk away the nation's top prize, winning just the second Heisman Trophy in school history. Wuerffel passed for 3,625 yards and 39 touchdowns.

THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 2005 3 ALLIGATOR, 33 kGators hope to break FSU slump Nick West/ Alligator Staff Catcher Kristin Butler and her junior class will be looking for their first-ever win against Florida State today. By WILLIS JACOBSON Alligator Writer When the No. 15 UF softball team (29-10, 8-4 Southeastern Conference) takes the field against Florida State (24-16) today, there won't be any of the fighting or name-calling that has become traditional of the rivalry in other sports. At least not from the coaches. UF coach Karen Johns says that her relationship with FSU coach Dr. JoAnne Graf, in her 26th season with the Seminoles, is a positive one. The two coaches will face off in a doubleheader beginning at 4 p.m. today at the Florida Softball Stadium. "I'm not quite sure if jthe rivalry] has that Steve Spurrier -Bobby Bowden thing going on," Johns said, noting that she was recruited by Graf as a player. "Dr. Graf was sort of a mentor for me. .Even though I didn't choose to go there, we've always had a great working relationship." When it comes to the players; however, animosity won't be lacking. Beating the Seminoles, something that UF hasn't done since 2002, would be the perfect remedy for a team that has lost four of its last six games. "I've always bled orange and blue, so it's a huge rivalry for me," catcher Kristin Butler said. Butler, an Orlando native, is part of a junior class that is winless against the Seminoles. All-time, UF is 5-11 against FSU, including 1-7 in its last eight contests. This season, however, will mark the first time UF enters the game with a higher ranking and this team, according to Butler, is just hitting its stride. "I've always bled orange and blue, so it's a huge rivalry for me.", Kristin Butler UF softball catcher [Because of the rankings] they will definitely be out to prove something," Butler said. "Bu.t we will too. This is a point in the season where we think we're peaking, so hopefully we'll get over that hump and beat them. It's definitely going to be a fight to the end in every game." Despite the friendship between the coaches, Johns realizes that a pair of wins against the Seminoles would do 'wonders for her team's confidence. Getting those wins, though, won't be easy. "Record-wise, it's probably not the best Florida State team that's been around since I've been here," Johns said. "But it's definitely not lacking talent. They have great speed, and they have very good pitching. Thoce two combinations can create problems for us, so we're going to have to be prepared." Both games will be broadcast on SUN Sports.

34, ALLIGATOR 0 THURSDAY, APRIL 7,2005 MEN'S TRACK AND FIELD UF amped about Austin By BLAKE BONSACK Alligator Writer Everything may be bigger in Texas, but for this weekend, the UF men's track and field team will settle for everything being drier. The No. 2 Gators travel to Austin, Texas to participate in the 2005 Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays at Mike A. Meyers Stadium April 7-9. The annual event is one of the premier competitions of the outdoor season and will host many of the country's elite track programs. Inclement weather has limited the Gators' performance in their first two meets, the Florida Relays and Yellow Jacket Invitational. Coach Mike Holloway is eager for his team to have an opportunity to display its abilities. "We're looking forward to it," Holloway said. "Obviously, we would have liked to have had better weather the last couple of weekends to prepare, but we'll go to Austin and do what we do and not worry about anybody else. Texas Relays is one of the top meets in the country, so to do well there will say a lot about where we're at right now." Despite the team's lack of experience, Holloway was satisfied with its success achieving NCAA regional qualifying marks at the previous meets. He's also pleased with their overall progress up to this point. "We're in pretty good shape right now," Holloway said. "I like what Josh Walker's doing in the 110-meter hurdles. Bernard Middleton came up big for us last weekend at Georgia Tech in the 400-meter dash. Alex Harris had the best series of jumping of his career last weekend in Holloway Atlanta and has been doing a good job. We'll get to see Mike Morrison in the long jump and high jump this week against some of the country's best as well." The meet will give the Gators a better understanding of how they compare to other top teams. "Texas Relays has always been a place to see how you stack up against everybody else because the competition is so good," Holloway said. Save and save again.

Sports200 THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.aIIigatorSports.or g Marshall may take a Holliday from the Swamp By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org As if trying to familiarize his coaching staff with the Gators while installing a new offensive system wasn't enough, Coach Urban Meyer might have to replace an assistant before the season begins. After he denied being contacted by Marshall to fill the program's coachin vacancy on Monday, UF safeties coach John "Doc" Holliday said he traveled to Huntington, W.Va., Tuesday to meet with school officials. "It's no secret, I went up there," said Holliday, a 20-year assistant at West Virginia. "Right now, I haven't made any decisions. Other then that, I'm just out here trying to get Florida better, and that's all I'm conceded about right now." Bob Pruett, the winningest coach in Marshall history, retired on March 9, leaving the Thundering Herd scrambling for a replacement. Holliday, a native of Hurricane, W. Va., about 25 minutes from Huntington, wouldn't say whether he was offered the position but reiterated that it is the goal of every assistant to one day lead a team. "Any assistant coach wants to become a head coach," Holliday said. "But other than that I have no comment." DEFENSE GETS BLITZED: After two and a half weeks of struggling to grasp a new offensive system while suffering the wrath of a Wide receiver Chad Jackson felt Kyle Jackson's wrath in a jarring hit Wednesday, but the receiver still recorded two deep catches for UF's offense. competition-driven defense, UF's nity at Meyer's "competition day" 'It was a good day today," Meyer offense finally had a Wednesday in prior to Saturday's Orange and Blue said. "The defense won and did a the sun -almost. Game, the offense showed signs of nice job, but the offense, I thought In the Gators' final opportuimprovement before losing to the had one of their better days." defense in the day's final exercise. The offensive squad's potential bragging rights came down to a third-down situational drill. A.d after giving up some deep passes earlier in the pseudo-scrimmage, the defense shut down the short game and left -their counterparts running wind sprints. UF's wide receivers made numerous big catches Wednesday. The deep gains may reveal a weakness in the previously dominant defense. But, as Meyer explained, the speed of UF's offense should present problems for more than his own defense. "The offense in football nowadays, especially in our style of play, is if you don't blitz, we're going to wear you out," Meyer said. "So you have to find a way to hit home and blitz." NOT SO BIG HIT: While the speedy juniors may have gotten the best of the secondary for most of the afternoon, sophomore safety Kyle Jackson made sure his Jackson counterpart knew he was still there. As quarterback Chris Leak sailed a pass over Chad Jackson's head, Kyle blind-sided the unwitting receiver, still gazing up for the ball. But apparently the hit wasn't up to Meyer's level of tenacity. "That's really not that big of a hit," Meyer said. "I guess it's been a while since you've seen a good hrt" Meyer promised the hits would come harder, beginning Saturday. "That was kind of a little bump," Meyer said. "You'll see some good hits this fall. That wasn't a great hit. Chad Jackson is hurt over that? I'm sure the SEC hits harder than that now." Head coach position at Marshall attracts Gators assistant coach has been coaching for more than 20 years as an assistant, so no one can blame him for wanting to be a head coach. He is John "Doc" Holliday, UF safeties coach. He is among a list of candidates including Ohio State defensive coordinator Mark Snyder and former Baylor coach Dave Roberts for the recently opened Marshall University job. Holliday has been a bit cryptic about his intentions, though. He said he's concentrating on the Gators at this time, yet he visited Marshall yesterday. It is clear that given Holliday's well-recognized recruiting ability and extensive connections in south Florida (where I hear they have some decent football players), Marshall wants to make inroads to get the talent that this state has to offer. Holliday has coaching experience at a variety of positions, though most of it has been with wideouts. At West Virginia (his alma mater as well as where he coached the bulk of his career, starting as a graduate assistant), he led the wide receivers for 20years total in two separate stints. He holds three years' experience coaching inside linebackers sandwiched between those stints before finishing at WVU as an associate head coach. He held that same position at North Carolina State for five years before coming to UP. He's the safeties coach now. In 2003, N.C. State set ridiculous records Gregg Girvan Throwing Girv Balls ggirvan@alligator.org on offense, setting a new standard for Wolfpack football in almost every, statistical category. Holliday played a big role in that. And, like he said, every assistant wants to be a head coach some day. Holliday is ready to coach a Division-I program. The preceding evidence clearly supports that. What remains unanswered is -are the Gators ready for that possibility? If Holliday is chosen and he accepts, that means a UF assistant leaves after holding the position for only a few months. That means guys like Tony Joiner and Kyle Jackson, who have already endured a staff change, will have to be coached by someone else. Again. Holliday's departure would have a great impact on a team and a staff that is trying to gain its footing. This is not to say he shouldn't go -he's been an assistant coach for nearly a quarter-century. If Holliday is chosen and accepts, the impact on how the safeties will play when they step on the field for next season and whether cornerbacks coach and recruiting coordinator Chuck Heater can pick up the slack is what to watch.

36, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 2005 Runner Ponteen overshadowed By CHUCK BAER Alligator Writer Tiandra Ponteen may be the best sprinter on the women's track and field team, but you wouldn't know that reading the news. Although the sophomore won first place in the 400-meter dash at the CAA indoor Championships and went undefeated in the event during the indoor season, Ponteen's nearperf6ct season was overshadowed by fellow sophomore Kerron Clement. Clement attracted national attention -and lots of it -when he broke Michael Johnson's indoor 400-meter world record, set in 1995. Ponteen, however, isn't bothered by being UF's lesser-known sophomore sprinter. "Kerron deserves what he's getting," she said. "Because that was awesome." Just minutes after winning her own race, Ponteen stood on the sidelines cheering for Clement as he won his. As he finished, she had to congratulate her friend. "Right after he crossed the line, I ran up next to him and he was like 'Tiandra, we did it!"' she said. Clement and Ponteen share more than the same event and team colors. The two hail from the Caribbean: Clement from Trinidad, while Ponteen grew up on the island of St. Kitts. Both came to the U.S. to compete in high school, too: Clement to La Porte, Texas and Ponteen to Glendale, Md. "Clement is one of her favorite people," women's coach Tom Jones said. "They're very close friends. I don't think his success has bothered her at all." "[Ponteen]'s earned her national championship. She's respected nationally, and she's respected on the team." Tom Jones UF women's track and field coach Clement and Ponteen share more than a -background history. While Clement has his world record, Ponteen has her own to brag about. She set UF's best-ever 400-meter dash time as a freshman. Then she broke her very own record this season. And while Ponteen hasn't received the publicity of her teammate, she is still proud of her season. "Well, sometimes here and there my name is mentioned, but I'm pretty sure that if I had broken the world record, they would have been focusing on me more than focusing on Kerron," she said. "An accomplishment is an accomplishment." After finishing second to Texas' Sanya Richards in the 400 in last year's national championships, Ponteen dedicated herself to winning this year's title. "After Sanya left to nm in the pro circuit, I figured I had to step up and not settle for second place or third," she said. "So I did what I needed to do to compete at the highest level that I can." Ponteen started running when she was just seven years old, placing fourth in the Caribbean-wide Carifta Games at age 12. She left St. Kitts to attend Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Maryland. She competed for St. Kitts in the 2004 Olympics and placed 13th in the Olympic trials. While in high school, she set the Maryland state record in the 200, 300, 400 and 500-meter dashes and as part of the 4x400 relay team. But Ponteen came to UF for the climate, academics, and especially because the track program only had a few dedicated 400 runners. "I didn't want to go to a school where there's just a whole bunch of 400-meter runners," she said. "I didn't want attention taken away from me." All Clement hype aside, it seems like Ponteen still has plenty of that elusive notoriety. "She's earned her national championship," said Jones. "She's respected nationally, and she's respected on the team.'

MEN'S AND WOMEN'S SWIMMING Lochte, Burckle qualify for World Championships STAFF REPORT Indianapolis may be cold. Just don't expect any cold water in one of its marquee pools. Fifteen Gators traveled to Indianapolis for the 2005 U.S. World Championship Trials, with two qualifying for this summdr's World Championships. Junior Olympian Ryan Lochte qualified for four events (200-meter backstroke, 200 and 400 individual medley, 800 freestyle relay), while freshman Caroline Burckle qualified for the 800 freestyle relay as well. Lochte logged 81 points, only trailing fellow Olympian Michael Phelps' 100 individual points. Lochte and Burckle won't be the only two representing UF in the World Championships. Head coach Gregg Troy will join his two swimmers as an assistant coach for the U.S. men's team. The championships take place in Montreal July 24-31. Sophomore Leah --Retrum swam her way into a competition of her own, qualifying for this summer's World Lochte University Games. The University Games run August 11-21 in Izmir, Turkey. And then there was the performance one of UF's less-heralded swimmers. On Wednesday morning, freshman Kim Larson finished 15th in the grueling 1,500 free with a time of 17 minutes, 14.27 seconds. But for many of the Gators, the season is finished. Next season, the men will look to improve upon their fifth-place NCAA finish, the women on a fourth-place finish.
