Senate hears
education bill
Legislature vying for
power to set tuition
By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM
Alligator Staff Writer
jvanl@alligator.org
TALLAHASSEE The Senate Education Committee
on Tuesday unanimously approved a House proposal de-
signed to define governance over the state's universities.
House Bill 1001 and its Senate companion, 1920, de-
fine which powers belong to the Legislature and which
belong to the Board of Governors.
The bill clarifies that the BOG has a constitutional
duty "to operate, regulate, control and be fully respon-
sible for the management of the whole publicly funded
State University System."
Among other duties, the Governors will define the
mission and strategic plan of each university, approve all
degree programs, set enrollment levels for each univer-
sity and negotiate with faculty for bargaining purposes.
The BOG also would be able to delegate some respon-
sibilities to university boards of trustees.
Conversely, the Legislature would set tuition,.fees and
financial aid policies, as well as the total budget for the
State University System and require universities to par-
ticipate in state retirement and benefits programs.
The only new wrinkle in the Senate
version of the bill is a measure ban-
ning lobbyists from serving on the
BOG or as university trustees.
The measure empowers the BOG
to use more authority than it has
previously exercised. But it still falls
short in the eyes of former UF Interim
York President E.T. York, who filed suit in
Tallahassee last December.
In suing, York sought a declaratory judgment that the
BOG, among other duties, should have the power to set
tuition and fees for each university.
"The BOG has the authority to set tuition under the
state constitution," he said Tuesday. "The BOG can make
a more rational decision on tuition than the legislature, but
more importantly, it has the constitutional duty to do so."
Bill sponsor Rep. Dudley Goodlette, R-Naples, dis-
agreed with York's assertion.
The constitution and its separation of powers grant
the Legislature power of the purse, he said.
Moreover, legislators are responsible for funding
Bright Futures and the Prepaid College Plan, costs of
which would skyrocket if universities had power to raise
tuition by double-digit percentages each year.
Making matters more complicated, universities in-
cluding UF argue they should have power to set tuition.

UF President Bernie Machen addresses the Alachua County Medical Society on Tuesday night. "The manner in which
alcohol is used, and sometimes abused, in this community is a serious problem," he said.
Machen pushes alcohol moderation
By EMILY YEHLE
Alligator Writer
eyehle@alligator.org
While they're welcome to open a cold
beer in their homes, Gainesville residents
will no longer be encouraged to do so
through TV alcohol advertisements dur-
ing UF sporting events.
UF President Bernie Machen took
another step toward changing the univer-
sity's drinking culture by joining the na-
tional Campaign for Alcohol-Free Sports
TV, a coalition of more than 200 colleges
pledging to break the connection between
sports and alcohol.
UF is the first major, public univer-
sity in Florida and the Southeastern
Conference to do so, Machen boasted.
He announced the move at a Tuesday
meeting of the Alachua County Medical
Society. Physicians, he said, see the prob-
lem daily.
Several audience members agreed,
some guessing that 70 percent of trauma
patients are involved in alcohol-related
accidents.
Banishing alcoholic messages from UF
programming is the latest step of several
that Machen has taken this semester.
More changes may be made as Machen
makes his way through UF's existing poli-
cies, conforming to the "positive culture"
he said UF wants to exude.
A few months ago, he prohibited al-

UF students of all majors will have a more intimate graduation
this year, but unlike past years colleges will pay for the privilege.
UF's swelling enrollment forced university officials to split
the once-unified graduation ceremony into separate events for
some of the larger colleges, beginning in 2002. Starting this year,
however, all colleges will be in charge of organizing the ceremo-
nies, including responsibility for costs UF paid in prior years.
Holding a graduation ceremony involves a lot of behind-the-
scenes planning and expenses, including renting a venue, print-
ing programs, and paying for staff, said Allyson Beutke.
As the publications coordinator for the College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences, the largest of UF's 17 colleges, Beutke ar-
ranges the programs for the college's undergraduate and
graduate commencements.

Interfraternity event serves up laughs for charity
Stand-up acts
heard by over
300 students

kcraig@alligator.org
More than 300 students
showed up Tuesday night for
the Interfraternity Council's
first-ever Stand Up for Comedy
philanthropy event.
The event, which featured 19
comedians, raised money for the
Climb for Cancer Foundation.
It was the first time in sev-
eral years that all IFC fraternities
joined together to raise money
for one cause.
"I'm very proud to see the
IFC trying to serve the commu-
nity through philanthropy and
service," Director of Greek Life
Chris Bullins said. "Helping the
community is what being a fra-
ternity man is all about."
The amateur comedians hit on
a variety of topics from online
away messages to "shacking."

Studios keep close theaters from showing same films
* GAINESVILLE'S TWO MAJOR THE-
ATERS SHOW DIFFERENT MOVIES.
By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org
A movie studio-established three-mile
guideline is responsible for the monopoly
Gainesville's two major theaters have on cer-
tain films, a local theater manager said. -
The venues, Royal Park Stadium 16 Theater
and Regal Butler Plaza Cinemas, do not show
the same films.
"The film studios decide on a policy, as far
as I understand it, that theaters within three
miles of each other can't play the same titles,"
said John Carpenter, manager of Royal Park
Theater on University Avenue and Southwest
35th Street.
"We're two-and-a-half miles apart," he
said, referring to Regal's Butler Plaza location.
"It makes our business harder to run."
Jan Black, marketing director for Eastern
Federal Theaters, which owns the Royal Park
location, said rival Regal Entertainment Group
has the power to share the movies it receives
with Eastern Federal Theaters, but does not.
Calls to Regal Entertainment Group's cor-
porate offices were not returned,
However, each is still in the dark about
whether one of the -biggest blockbusters of
the summer, "Star Wars Episode 1I: Revenge
of the Sith," will be coming to its silver screens
because of the theaters' proximity.
Carpenter said he hopes his theater gets the
Eastern Federal Theaters' Royal Park is one of the two major theaters in town com-
* peting to show first-run movies.
new "Star Wars" flick.
"I can't wait," he said. "But we don't know
who has it yet."
However, Gator Cinemas, a small inde-
pendently owned theater near the Oaks Mall,
is free to choose from the Hollywood A-list
lineup without restrictions.
Theaters do not control which movies they
get to show studios do, Carpenter said.
"In theory the studios are supposed to be
fair," Carpenter said. "[The situation] is kind
of in the studios' best interest because it keeps
the old movies on the screen longer."
However, despite the uncertainty sur-
rounding the new "Star Wars" film that, ac-
cording to officials at both theaters, will last
for about another week, Regal's Butler Plaza
location has posted advertisements in its the-
aters for the science fiction film.
Carpenter insists the theaters do not en-
gage in bidding wars to compete for the next
big release.
"I think it's a common misconception from
some people," he said.
But Black said her company and Regal
Entertainment Group are engaged in a sort of
"power play."
"They're a large circuit and we're not," she
said. "It's a matter of size."
Eastern Federal Theaters owns 23 theaters
across three states, while Regal Entertainment
Group maintains 563 locations throughout 40
states.
Black said there are numerous markets
where the three-mile rule doesn't apply. She
said that if the studios would disregard the
distance constraint, consumers would be
happier.
"Florida areas are more competitive. They
.seem to stick to those rules. The studios and
the consumers would be the big winners,"
Black said. "We can't make sense of it."
She said she did not know the specifics of
why Florida's market is more contested.
Gator Cinemas is free from the static caused
by intense studio involvement, Assistant
Manager Abhilash Trehan said.
"We can get whatever we want," Trehan
said. "It's just between the two major movie
theaters."
In move to acquire cabinet director, ASU changes name
By LINDSAY TAULBEE
Alligator Writer
ltaulbee@alligator.org
Reflecting a shift in program-
ming and the desire for a director
of Asian-American Affairs at UF,
the Asian Student Union voted to
officially change its name to the
Asian-American Student Union.
Exactly two-thirds of the 60
delegates voted to enact the
name change at an April 4 ASU
meeting, President Mark Villegas
said.
A two-thirds vote is the
minimum requirement to pass an
amendment under ASU's consti-
tution.
"I think all of the change is
reflective of the different stuff
we've been doing and our desire
Find
someone
special.
to get an Asian-American Affairs
director," he said. -,
In the past few years, the
group's educational program-
ming has dealt mainly with
Asian-American issues, Villegas
said.
Also, in 2004, UF agreed to
create an Asian-American Studies
certificate, a program that was
implemented at the beginning of
this semester.
He said he believed both these
facts may have played into the
voters' decisions.
Ten representatives from each
of the five organizations under
ASU, plus an additional 10 from
ASU itself, were eligible to vote.
Delegates were informed two
weeks prior to the meeting that
the issue would be voted on,
though the proposal has been
discussed informally for more
than a year, Villegas said.
"I think all of the change is
reflective of the different,
stuff we've been doing and
our desire to get an Asian-
American Affairs director."
Mark Villegas
Asian Student Union president
ASU will not officially ap-
ply for the change until August,
when all student groups must
re-register with the Student
Activities Center anyway.
At that time, the group will
register under the new name,
pending approval from the direc-
'tor of Student Activities and vice
president of Student Affairs.
Jen Counts, a program as-
sistant for the Student Activities
Center, said the proposed switch
will have to meet several require-
ments before approval.
"We require that they submit
a constitution that reflects the
name change," she said.
Additionally, groups may not
include "UF" or "University of
Florida" in their name, as it may
imply official university endorse-
ment.
"It's fairly straightforward,"
she said.
Villegas said he realizes stu-
dents who identify more with the
term "Asian" may feel excluded
by the new terminology.
"That's always a risk. That's
a risk we have considered," he
said.
He noted, however, that the
same problem is posed in using
the current name, adding, "The
majority of people in ASU iden-
tify with 'Asian-American.'"
Villegas said any property
With the ASU name on it will not
be discarded, as the change is not
so drastic as to cause confusion.
"The stuff we have now is still
usable," he said.
The organization origi-
nally was part of Volunteers for
International Student Affairs.
It took on the name Asian
Student Union when it split off
from VISA in 1993, Villegas said.

jsirmons@alligator.org
UF students earned 15 first-place Mark
of Excellence awards from the Society of
Professional Journalists last week, making UF
the top school in Region Three, which covers
much of the southeastern United States.
"If that's any indication, we did quite well,"
said Adrian Uribarri, president of the local SPJ
chapter, who accepted all awards for UF at the
ceremony in Charleston, S.C.
UF's College of Journalism and
Communications garnered 25 total awards in
a variety of categories.
UF students won first-place prizes in all
SPJ fields, including print journalism, pho-
tojournalism, broadcast journalism, online
journalism and radio journalism.
"Our school generally does well,
not just because of our size, but
because of the quality of our staff-
and students."

Local SPJ chapter president
The Independent Florida Alligator and its'
staff received nine awards, including a sec-
ond-place award for Best All-Around Online
Student-Run Newspaper and third-place for
Best All-Around Student-Run Newspaper.
"Our school generally does well, not just
because of our size, but because of the quality
of our staff and students," Uribarri said.
All regional champions will compete in the
national competition in Las Vegas October.
SPJ offers 45 total awards for college students
who excelin a given area of journalism.
In 2003, UF took home 23 SPJ regional
awards but did not win a national award.

RIAA access to Internet2
could spell future trouble
Increasingly restrictive legislation sought by the govern-
ment and intellectual property organizations already has
led to visions of a "Big Brother" future, and the Recording
Industry Association of America wants to make it clear that
no one is safe.
Striking a blow for pampered corporate executives the
world over, the RIAA plans to file lawsuits against students
who have been using the new Internet2 allegedly to trade
copyrighted material music and movies.
Internet2 is a network used by researchers at universi-
ties all across the world to explore the future of the Internet
and it just happens to be exponentially faster than tradi-
tional Internet.
As expected, ultra-fast Internet access plus college stu-
dents has equaled a certain amount of illegal file sharing.
Of course, these students are a microscopic fraction of
the huge number of Internet users who share files, and the
files they share are a raindrop next to the vast ocean of illegal
sharing.
Internet2 is a-new -frontier in the-digital age, however, and
the .RIAA is making sure that it will be the first to set foot
upon virgin soil and plant the first giant WARNING sign.
Cary Sherman, president of the RIAA, wants to send a
message that Internet2 isn't "a zone of lawlessness where
the normal rules don't apply," according to the Associated
Press.
But file-sharing surveillance, apparently, should be a zone
of conduct in which normal rules don't apply.
Access to Internet2, as could be expected of any experi-
mental technology, is restricted.
Doug Van Houweling, Internet2's chief executive; told the
Associated Press that no special access has been provided to
the RIAA for it to gather information for these lawsuits.
So how did the RIAA find out exactly who had been shar-
ing what, when there theoretically is no way for it to access
Internet2?
As of yet, the RIAA officially has declined to reveal what
measures it took to acquire this information, saying only that
there was no unlawful action involved.
Let's see if this sets any alarms off: This powerful orga-
nization found a way to access technology it shouldn't have
been able to access, obtain information it shouldn't have been
able to obtain, and then used this information to prepare law-
suits against private citizens all without having to reveal
its sources or methods.
But hey, it's OK: They pinkie-swore they didn't do any-
thing illegal.
This is disturbing enough by itself, but keep in mind also
, that this is a university-based research system that deals with
powerful, society-shaping technology and information.
If the &A can take a peek whenever it wants into the
file-swapping records of Internet2's users with impunity,
what other, more sensitive information could be taken by
anyone with enough money to "discover" a way in?
If the RIAA wants to sue students for file sharing, that's
its .prerogative. Those students technically are doing some-
thing illegal, under current law, even if taking action against
a handful of individuals seems foolhardy.
Using questionable means to obtain private information,
however, is an entirely separate story.
In court, the RIAA needs to prove that it has nothing to
hide by revealing its sources. There had better be another
lawsuit filed very quickly if it chooses not to do so, and we
aren't talking about copyright violation.

Column -
Work, huh? I should do some research
W e're getting near the end of the semester, and. I
thought it might be about time to try something,
new: schoolwork.
As I understand it, this was the original purpose of
going to college. It's a well-recognized fact, though, that
much better ways to spend one's time have since been dis-
covered. In fact, that's why we do research: We're looking
for something better to do.
This hypothesis is confirmed by a' simple glance at
the Alligator. Although we're.a college paper, besides the
occasional reference to something a dean or a professor
did, you'd be hard-pressed to find any mention of col-
lege. Accordingly, this new foray of mine this so-called
"schoolwork" warrants a few words.
Admittedly, it's not a subject with which I am inti-
mately acquainted. (Seriously, ask my professors.) To put
it simply, I've been blessed with the gift of always being
able to find something better to do. Since this is, as I said,
the aim of research, I figure this should exempt me from
doing it. Would you make Shakespeare study grammar or
teach a dog to lick his balls? No; they're already experts.
But last week, with an eye on my already rather precari-
ous grades, I dismounted from my high horse and climbed
down into the trenches to go mano a mano with history.
My topic was a titillating one: the effectiveness of
Catholic evangelism among the natives of 16th-century
Mexico. If that doesn't pique your interest, if that doesn't
get your blood pumping, if that doesn't leave you twit-
terpated just thinking about it, then you are a perfectly
normal young adult. If it does, however, I urge you to
consult with a physician or grad school admissions cata-
log. -
At any rate, I had a fever and there only was one cure:
books.
.-- lS, '. Let me be forthright about
something: I love footnotes.
They're like a secret window into
the author's mind. Footnotes are
one of the few vestiges-of human
personality in the realm of aca-
Gavin Baker demic writing.
Close to Home In a way, it's that very coldness,
letters@alligator.org that sEholarly sterility that makes
research interesting. Imagine if
you got to have dinner. with the
members of the Supreme Court, and in the middle of a
-formal, haute cuisine, five-course meal, Justice O'Connor
dribbled spaghetti on her blouse. Footnotes are that kind
of revealing: They let you see the man behind the curtain.
So, after reading a few of a person's writings and seeing
them cited by others, was it weird that I started to feel like
I knew the guy? Because I did: I felt like I could have sat
down and had a beer (whoops, root beer sorry Bernie)
with my sources. Like, "Man, that article you published
in 'The Americas' in '66 spot on. How in the world did
you find those manuscripts? You're a beast...."
Or, "Dude, did you see what Robert Ricard wrote
about your book? Talk about burn! I think he's full of crap,
though have you read his chapter on the persistence
of idolatry? The Virgin of Guadalupe was totally not a
syncretic version of Tonantzin. Did he 'even read his own
sources?"
Or even, "Level with me: You made up that part about
the guy who kept his own niece as a concubine, didn't
you?"
Has this happened to anyone else?

Bill threatens UF international students
Editor. If Rep. Dennis Baxley has his way,
international students soon could be kissing
their financial aid goodbye. As if the $50 fee
they pay each Fall and Spring semester for
their own surveillance wasn't bad enough, in-
ternational students across Florida soon may
be denied state financial aid altogether. Baxley
recently co-authored a bill that could eliminate
financial aid by state funds to international
students. The bill, which aims to "expand ac-
cess to post-secondary -education and reduce
student indebtedness," also includes "prohib-
iting the use of such funds to provide financial
assistance to specified foreign students."
UF has made it a priority to increase the
diversity of the student body and faculty alike.
President Machen has spoken on numerous
occasions of becoming a Top 10 institution
and the importance of a diverse campus to
achieving that goal. International students
are a vital part of UF. Many departments at
UF rely heavily on international graduate
students to do the bulk of their teaching. What
message will the administration be sending to
potential students from other countries if they
don't provide any financial assistance to help
them achieve their academic goals? Will inter-
national students enroll at UF at all? UF had
127 fewer international students enroll in the
2004 school year than the 2003 academic year,
which amounts to a 22 percent drop in that
year's enrollment and a 5 percent drop within
the total international student body.
Those numbers only will continue to
plunge if this bill passes. I call on the UF ad-
ministration to take a stand against SB 866 (HB
21). If UF truly values diversity as it claims,
then it will take the measures necessary to
protect international student financial aid.

'Drunk' radio show respects participants
Editor: Earlier-this semester my friend and
I were invited to be on "Drunk Bitch Friday."
My friend was the participant and I was her
"handler." Throughout the show, I was com-
pletely sober and witnessed firsthand the
mannerisms and demeanor of Lex and Terry.
Never once did they encourage her to have
more alcohol, nor did they make her feel bad
for wanting to stop drinking. It completely
was her decision on what and how much she
wanted to drink, and a police officer was on
hand at all times to oversee things.
After we left the show, transportation and
an extra night's stay in a hotel were provided
for safety and security reasons. UF should not
cancel a show that doesn't force their guests to
do anything they don't want to do. The people
involved with the Lex and Terry show acted
responsibly and had nothing to do with the
decisions my friend made. UF-definitely has
overstepped its boundaries on this one.
The fact is, the Lex and Terry show doesn't
encourage drinking. The university can cancel
any show it wants, but that isn't going to dis-
courage or stop drinking. Lex and Terry aren't
exploiting a problem, because they aren't en-
couraging underage drinking, drunk driving
or even binge drinking. They simply are ask-
ing a legal, responsible young lady to come on
their show and have a good time.
If we, as a university community, do not
trust ourselves enough to do the right thing
and worry that a simple morning talk show
can skew our judgment, than I think we have
a much larger problem to worry about.

Heros don't just 'overcome' disabilities
Editor: Jason Levitt's column "Midget Pomrn
Star Not a Good Role Model," was offensive
at its core. His ableism and fear of disability is
apparent throughout the column, which does
nothing more than help keep cultural stereo-
types and stigmas in place.
While Levitt may choose to hold any be-
liefs he likes concerning pornography and
subsequently judge anyone with or without
a disability participating in pornography, the
column had nothing to do with porn and ev-
erything to do with his misunderstanding of
disability pride and disability culture.
Levitt refers to Bridget as "the actress
who dehumanizes herself as some sexual
circus freak." He does not say pornography
is dehumanizing, but rather he says being a
"sexual circus freak" is. Is a black person in
pornography being a sexual circus n*****? Is
a homosexual in pornography a sexual circus
f**? Why is a midget in pornography a freak?
Are allmidgets freaks, or is that just when they
have sex on or off the screen?
Levitt writes, "What Powerz does is the
opposite. She becomes her disability. She is
Bridget 'the Midget.' And then she takes her
disability, now her whole person, and makes it
a fetish for others." He suggests that, by iden-
tifying with a core aspect of herself her dis-
ability Bridget is committing an act of self-
treason. This is akin to suggesting a Native
American not take pride in being Iroquois or a
female not take pride in being a woman.
Levitt continues this thread of ableism by
writing that Bridget's identification with her
disability "is not self-actualization; this is self-
dehumanization." This is tantamount to say-
ing that being disabled is-dehumanizing.
Levitt attempts to mitigate his criticism
by praising Bethany Stevens, but in doing so
he only further reveals his position. He pa-
tronizingly salutes her for having "proved to
be more than her disability." This is no more
acceptable than saying that the president of
the Black Student Association is a hero for
overcoming his or her black skin tone.
Bethany Stevens is powerful and extraor-
dinary, and none of this is because she has
"overcome" her disability.

Past UF disabled speaker
Guest column
Past tragic events don't represent the true nature of Israel
In his guest column; William James Martin begins with an
elaborate description of events that allegedly took place
in the village of Deir Yassin on April 9, 1948. This isolated
"massacre," while generally accepted as having taken place,
does not represent the state of Israel. Terrorism does not repre-
sent the state of Israel. Israel is a nation of peace, and one that
does not deliberately target civilians or threaten to exterminate
the existence of an entire people. The technological, social and
humanitarian advancements made every day by Israel attest
to her glory as a thriving member of the international com-
munity, and her numerous efforts at forging peace with the
Palestinians cannot be overlooked. I ask you, Mr. Martin, have
the Palestinian people ever made a concerted effort at peace
with the Israelis? The answer is no. Do not fall into the trap of
moral equivalency, asserting that an isolated incident should
condemn the efforts of an entire nation, especially when terror-
ist groups supported by the Palestinian Authority believe that
the use of violence is a legitimate activity.
Martin casts a negative image on Israel as a state "created
, for one ethnicity." I answer this in two ways.
First, Israel was created not for but by one ethnicity, and
this can be seen in the makeup of the Israeli Knesset where

Russell .Arab parties hold many seats. Second,
Semmel this statement seems out of line with the
Speaking Out global trend of the formation of the na-
tion-state. A nation-state may be defined
as. a state whose political borders are
coterminous with cultural or ethnic boundaries. Some of the
greatest examples of states created for one ethnicity are France,'
Spain and any of the former Soviet Socialist Republics.
-Additionally, to say that Israel exists at the expense of the
indigenous Arab population simply is false for many reasons.
First of all, a Jewish presence in the land of Palestine has
existed far longer than an Arab population. The arrival of many
more Jews into the region during the latter half of the 19th cen-
tury initiated apd contributed to the revival of the land and the
reinstitution of its economy. Jewish immigrants, purchasing
land legally from local authorities under the slowly destabiliz-
ing Ottoman Empire, were responsible for creating social insti-
tutions and a system of irrigation, among other advancements,
which would lay the foundation for the state of Israel.
Evidence of this is beautifully cited by Alan Dershowitz and
by Benny Morris, to whom Martin refers often in his writings.

deduce a certain amount about him and his ideologies from ar-
tides of his such as "Who Is Pushing Whom into the Sea?" and
"Condoleezza Rice Confused about the Middle East." I gener-
ally am a progressive person, but I also am very pro-Israel, and
it is time for liberal Americans, especially instructors such as
Martin and his colleagues, to understand that these values are
not mutually exclusive. Israel is a beacon of hope for democ-
racy in an otherwise dark region of the world, and should be
supported by every American regardless of ideology.
The beautiful thing about supporting Israel is that this is-
sue is one of the few on which most government officials agree
across the-aisle. It is time instructors on college campuses across
the country come forth with pro-Israel views. It is not "popu-
lar" among liberal academics to support Israel, seemingly
because the Palestinians are the "underdogs" and the tradition
stands to support those in a weaker position. This is utter non-
sense, and pro-Israel professors need not be embarrassed any
longer to be as outspoken as their anti-Israel counterparts are.
Perhaps, with the reinstatement of a study-abroad program to
Israel at UF as well as at many other prestigious universities
across the nation, professors finally will have their chance.

PUBLIC SAFETY
Man found to have no wounds
Staff suspected he was shot
By ELIZABETH PRANN
Alligator Writer
eprann@alligator.org
A few good Samaritans brought
two Gainesville law-enforcement
agencies out for a chase of what
they thought was a badly wounded
patron Tuesday.
An unidentified man was al-
legedly wandering around the UF
Bookstore on Tuesday with a wom-
an when workers said they noticed
red bandages wrapped around
his left arm and what looked like
an untreated gunshot wound to
his leg, according to a Gainesville
Police incident report.
Employees thought wounds
were severe and suspected the man
had improperly treated them him-
self, the report states, and called
University Police.
GPD Lt. Brian Helmerson said
his agency responded to a UPD call
reporting the situation.
Officers from both UPD and
GPD were dispatched to the Bank
of America on West University
Avenue at 5:30 p.m. when a man
fitting the description of the one
seen in the bookstore entered the
branch.
Authorities did find, and briefly
spoke with, a man accompanied by
a blonde female, but he had no ap-
parent injuries, Helmerson said.
The lieutenant said those who
thought they saw something sus-
picious were seeing things that
weren't really there.
"It turned out to be nothing,"
Helmerson said. "A lot of hoopla
about nothing."
Since the incident did not result
in an arrest or citation, the man was
not identified in the police report.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 9
Bill passed House 97-17 UF to ban ads, encourage responsible drinking
DEVOLUTION, from page 1
UF has some of the lowest tuition costs in the nation, and
President Bernie Machen has argued that UF must raise tu-
ition significantly to bolster university revenues. -
However, at an event Tuesday, Machen expressed his
confidence that the bill would not impede upon UF's goals.
Joe Kays, a UF spokesman on legislative issues, said that
while he was encouraged that UF could have more leeway
this year in setting tuition for out-of-state and graduate stu-
dents neither of which are covered by the Bright Futures
or Prepaid programs UF is still lobbying for more.
"It's kind of an evolving thing, this whole devolution
process, and while this is a good start, hopefully they'll
consider more as time goes on," Kays said. "We're going to
keep working toward that goal, and we'll have to see how
the economic and political environment evolves over the
next year and beyond."
Since the Legislature has paid for Bright Futures and
Prepaid, it has sought to keep tuition and therefore its
own Bright Futuies costs low.
The UF administration contends low tuition starves the
university of funding and keeps faculty salaries well below
the national average. But in an era where most students
graduate thousands of dollars in debt, UF students want to
keep it that way.
Lobbyists employed by Student Government at a cost of
$70,000 in Activity and Service fees supported the bill over the
opposition of the university and urged it along in the Senate.
The bill passed the Florida House 97-17 on March 29, but
no similar Senate plan had been considered until Tuesday.
Senate President Tom Lee said he was uncomfortable
passing such a bill until the York lawsuit had been decided.
But Lee, noted for opposing the-power of lobbyists in
Tallahassee, wanted lobbyists banned from serving on the
BOG or boards of trustees.
In return for nudging the bill through the Senate, House
Speaker Allan Bense, R-Panama City, agreed to keep lobbyists
off the boards, leading to a deal that advances the legislation.
In 2000, lobbyist-tumed-politician-turned-lobbyist John
Thrasher abolished the Board of Regents while serving as
House Speaker in order to build a medical school at Florida
State University, his alma mater, and put state universities un-
der the control of Gov. Jeb Bush's Department of Education.
Two years later, former U.S. Sen. Bob Graham sponsored
a voter-initiated constitutional amendment establishing the
BOG to govern the system as a replacement to the Regents.
In 2004, the Legislature, led by FSU alumnus Senate
President Jim King, approved $9 million a year in perpetuity
for a controversial chiropractic school to be built at FSU.
Thrasher, now chairman of the FSU Board of Trustees, re-
fused to kill the plan fearing retaliation against his lobby, al-
though many at FSU wanted nothing to do with the school.
The newly-formed BOG, led by Carolyn Roberts of Ocala,
finally bared its teeth Jan. 27 when it shot down the plan.
Reached Tuesday for comment, Roberts declined to talk
about the bill but said, "I think it's very important for the
BOG to have a good relationship with the Legislature, and I
intend to have that relationship."
MACH EN, from page 1
cohol sponsorship for any event held at
the Stephen C. O'Connell Center. Then,
he encouraged joint university and city
meetings, spawning three subcommit-
tees to research the problem.
And this week he suspended the Lex
and Terry radio segment "Drunk Bitch
Friday'" from Rock 104's airwaves, citing
that it is "dehumanizing" to women and
promotes binge drinking.
But Machen said he doesn't expect
these measures to stop students from im-
bibing, calling the acts "overly simplistic."
The idea is to change the environ-
ment that leads to unhealthy drinking
habits, he said. This includes alcohol
specials, advertising and preconceived
notions of college life.
UF already has begun educating in-
coming freshmen on the misconception
that most UF students drink excessively.
If students don't think they're expect-
ed to go through college in'an alcoholic
blur, they're more likely to be respon-
sible drinkers, he said. Responsibility is
the focus at this stage, not abstinence.
"I have no intention of attempting
to force a state of prohibition for any
student who is over 21 and who makes
responsible choices," he said.
'Too many stu-
dents in our com-
Shave experienced first-
hand the tragic conse-
quences of excessive
drinking," he said.
Machen But those who
say that drinking is a
"right of passage" for students and noth-
ing can be done are wrong, Machen said.
"If we just give them a little help,
they'll get it and they'll take off with this
thing," he said.
A proposed City Commission ordi--
nance closing bars at 3 a,m., however, is
not a push in the right direction.
Even if alcohol was not sold during,
the extra hour that the ordinance would
provide over the current 2 a.m. last call,
there hasn't been any research proving
that students will then be less likely to
get into accidents, he said.
UF medical studentKelly Hildebrand,
27, said she probably would have quali-
fied as a problematic drinker during her
undergraduate years. But after seeing
the repercussions of alcohol abuse in
friends, she now rarely imbibes.
Machen is on the right track, she said
after hearing him at the event.
"I think -he did a really good job
bringing up valid points," she said.
Timothy Flynn, the Medical Society's
president-elect, agreed. Machen, he said,
is sending the right message by being
stringent with-advertisements.
"I'm a big believer in symbolism,"
he said.
The next step, Machen said, is to
work with bars to curb the shower of
alcohol specials around Gainesville.
Five alcohol-related deaths in 15
months needs to be addressed, he said.
"I don't want any more.kids to die,"
he said.
Convocation canceled after UF fails to find speaker
GRADUATION, from page 1
"It's great to have your own ceremony because you can per-
sonalize it and do pretty much whatever you want," she said.
"It's not like we mind doing graduation."
But this year the ceremonies will cost the college $35,000.
"There's just the cost side involved," she said, adding that
staffers across the college also have to take on extra work. "It's
definitely changed in the past few years."
Lionel Dubay, the director of the Stephen C. O'Connell
Center, wrote in an.e-mail that UF colleges pay $300 less than
nonprofit outside organizations, and $600 less than commer-
cial organizations to rent the facility, although events cost the
O'Connell Center the same amount. The bill adds up to ap-
proximately $10,000 for a college that fills the building.
The O'Connell Center will host seven.ceremonies this year.
Since the UF administration will not pay for graduation
anymore, Beutke thought that money would go toward a con-
vocation the entire university could attend.
But this year, convocation will not be held because UF
could not book a speaker in a timely manner, Associate Provost
Sheila Dickison wrote in an e-mail. Interim Provost Joe Glover
was not available to confirm whom UF invited to speak.
Last year's convocation brought the entire university
together, which is a rare feat, said Neil Sullivan, dean of the
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
"It was a rallying point for the university as a whole,"
Sullivan said, adding he received good feedback fromparents.
"I very much appreciated the ceremony last year."
Pramod Khargonekar, dean of the College of Engineering,
said he was disappointed graduates would not get convoca-
tion this year, but understood why it happened.
"It's great to have your own ceremony because
you can personalize it and do pretty much
whatever you want."
Allyson Beutke
publications coordinator, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
.He said last year's convocation may have set the bar too
high with U.S. Sen. John McCain as the keynote speaker.
"You always-miss something like that, but I think we will
make up for it with the rest of the program," Khargonekar said.
His college had to find funds in its budget to support gradu-
ation, but he said having a more personal ceremony is worth it.
"I feel it's really important for our students," Khargonekar
said. "We had to find the money."
.The College of Engiheering will have a ke.inote speaker at
its commencement, but Liberal Arts and Sciences' undergradu-
ate commencement is still too long for such an address. The
ability to host speakers was .considered one of the benefits to
separating the ceremony into individual events.
But the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is so large that it
had to splht it graduation. this \ ear because. ot fire codes, and the

Marijuana legalization group says 'Know Your Rights'

Knowing the Bill of Rights

without an attorney present.
That knowledge served St.
Pierre when he encountered a po-
tentially compromising situation.
Years ago, while driving in
Pennsylvania, he hit a median and
was pulled over. The police officer
began asking questions, but when
the officer asked to search his ve-
hicle, St. Pierre refused.
Without a warrant, the officer
could not legally perform the
search, and St. Pierre was al-
lowed to leave.
The UF chapter of NORML
organizes a meeting every year
regarding the topic of constitu-
tional rights.
"Profiling is a terrible
cancer that comes out of
prohibition."
Allen St. Pierre
NORML executive director
St. Pierre explained that even
if a person is respectful, police
often profile the people they pull
over. In such instances, they may
not be able to leave as easily as St.
Pierre did.
"Profiling is a terrible cancer
that comes out of prohibition,"
St. Pierre said.
He told the audience that the
No. 1 factor that increases inter-
action with police is age, with
profiling being the most perva-
sive among 24-and-under males.
To combat unjust situations
in which officers take advantage
of people's ignorance of the law,
NORML created the Freedom
Card, which states all of the rel-
evant constitutional rights that
one should invoke when being
questioned.
The cards state that the person
intends to remain silent, retain an
attorney, invoke Miranda rights
and refuse any searches.
NORML has many lawyers,
including more than 20 in the
state of Florida. St. Pierre ex-
plained how NORML has won
cases based on officers' violation
Qf people's constitutional rights.
"If you've got the gumption,
and you've got the resources, you
can challenge the government,"
St. Pierre said.
The president of UF's NORML
chapter, Ashlee Valdes, met St.
Pierre at the organization's na-
tional conference in 2004 and in-
vited him to speak at UF's event.
"Knowing how to assert your
rights is very important," Valdes
said. "People should now be able
to use it in a police encounter."
Allen St. Pierre, executive director for NORML, speaks to an audience on Tuesday evening about Florida's
marijuana laws as a part of the "Know Your Rights" presentation.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Cabinet increase sparks debate
By STEPHEN MAGRUDER
Alligator Writer
smagruder@alligator.org
Initial efforts by the soon-to-be
Student Body president and vice
president to increase the number
and specialization of cabinets in
Student Government succeeded
Tuesday night, but not without fer-
vent debate in the Student Senate.
The number of cabinets, which
address a wide range of student is-
sues under SG's executive branch,
was increased from 36 to 41.
The Public Relations Cabinet
was split into Advertising,
Promotions and Publicity, and a
Responsible Gators Cabinet was
added to address UF administra-
tive concerns about excessive stu-
dent drinking.
The bill originally was authored
by Student Body President-elect
Joe Goldberg and Vice President-
elect Joyce Medina, but Jennifer
Puckett, who oversaw the cabinets
during the past year in her role
as Student Body vice president,
added herself as an author during
Tuesday's Senate meeting.
"They know what they're doing
- the changes they've -made ad-
dress real concerns," Puckett said.
She added that she spent a lot of
time discussing the changes with
Goldberg and
Medina.
Sen. Kevin
Bacon, who said
he has worked
on SG's Cabinet
for two years,
made two formal
Bacon amendments
to the bill to prevent the Cabinet
from becoming what he called a
"sprawling bureaucracy."
Bacon said since an unlimited
amount of staff members can work
within each Cabinet, adding more
cabinets would result in each of
them receiving less funding and
becoming less effective.
He tried twice to stop the addi-
tion of an Internal Communications
Cabinet, which he said does not
meet statute requirements.
SG documents state that Cabinet
requirements are to coordinate
communications between organi-
zations and SG, as well as main-
taining an SG bulletin board and
making the SG office a "welcoming
and cheerful environment."-
Both of Bacon's amendments
to remove additional cabinets
failed in close votes, as well as one
amendment by Sen. Mike Belle to
remove the Responsible Gators
Cabinet from the bill because he
said he felt it was more of a po-
litical gesture than something that
truly was needed.
Sen. Jackie Pace said Cabinet po-
sitions exist to serve the students,
and an increase in cabinets would
only further that cause.
"I don't see how expanding
Student Government is going to
hurt at all," she said.
Canseco to talk
steroids tonight
Fans wanting to hear one of the most controversial
figures in baseball's story will have the chance to do so.
Jose Canseco, who recently admitted using steroids
during his Major League Baseball career, will speak to-
night at 8 p.m. at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center.
The speech, entitled "JUICED: A Look at Steroids,
Baseball and the Future of Sports," is free and open to
the public, and doors will open at 7 p.m.
On Accent, UF's speakers bureau is sponsor-
Campus ing the event.
Canseco is making the first college
stop of his "JUICED" tour promoting his book "Juiced:
Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits, and How
Baseball Got Big." In the book, not only does Canseco
admit to using steroids, but he also names other players
who he witnessed using steroids.
Canseco hit over 400 home runs and was the first
player to hit 40 in one season while stealing 40 bases.
Canseco testified before Congress about steroids on
March 17. In his testimony, he said steroid use was ram-
pant and baseball turned its back to it.

UF weighs in on drug-free paths to sports fitness
* COLLEGE BASEBALL HAS SEEN
FAR FEWER STEROID ALLEGATIONS.
By MARK HULSEY
Alligator Contributing Writer
The needle is inserted into the body, or the
cream is rubbed on.
That is all it takes for a baseball player to
cheat the game by using steroids.
Major League Baseball steroid allegations
have made news recently, leaving college
baseball as a pure, drug-free form of the
game. The NCAA has a strict policy in place
for players who test positive for any banned
substance.
The athlete becomes ineligible for 365 days
and loses one year of eligibility.
Besides giving a player an apparent advan-
tage, performance-enhancing steroids have
serious negative side effects that can stay with
a player long after his career is over.
"The side effects for men would be acne.
It shrinks the testicles and can cause cancer,"
said Charlie Hunt, a certified personal trainer.
Hunt said oral steroids, those in capsule or
tablet form, can put lesions on the liver.
College baseball -has avoided the steroid
allegations of the professional game by using
regimented workout programs done under
the supervision of trainers, and by using the
extra power provided by aluminum bats.
"Anabolic steroids deal with the male hor-
mone testosterone, which increases strength in
the muscle," Hunt said.
Matt LaPorta, first baseman
Student for the UF baseball team, said
Life steroids are not necessary.
"I think the workouts we do
here get you plenty big, plenty
strong and it's the baseball kind of strength
you need," he said.
The workout program starts in early Fall
and consists of weightlifting four times a week.
The workout program also consists of run-
ning four times a week, working on endur-
ance as well as agility.
The constant theme in all the workouts is
the need to make sure the workouts keep the
athletes at the proper fitness level for baseball.
"With baseball players, you don't want
them to get very bulky. You're always trying to
increase flexibility," said Steve Oriss, strength
and conditioning coach for UF baseball. "The
main goal for any baseball player is to develop
power. We'll turn base strength and power
into baseball-specific strength."
The NCAA has its own testing policy play-
ers must abide by, and the university also has a
policy in place monitoring players closer than
the NCAA requires, Oriss said.
The university randomly tests all its ath-
letes every few weeks.
This policy has been in place for years and
has not been affected by the recent steroid ac-
cusations at the professional level.
In .1999-2000, the NCAA administered
9,206 tests. Ninety-two athletes, less than 1
percent, tested positive for steroids.
Some players use additional supplements
like Creatine, but not before they are specifi-
cally approved by a nutritionist.
Legal supplements are used in college
baseball but are closelymonitored. The Gators
use a post-workout recovery drink known as
, Go Shake, a calorie booster, but that is all the
university provides.
LaPorta is not into supplement use, prefer-
ring a more natural method.
"I use vitamins and just try to eat," he said.
Players in college and professional baseball
tend to agree that a player's athletic ability is
what makes one successful.
LaPorta said he believes steroids are avoid-
ed at the amateur level because the urgency to
be great is not as high as it is when baseball
becomes one's occupation.
"You see it more when you get into the
minors because you got guys with the same
talent as you, and everybody is trying to up
their game," LaPorta said.
College has avoided the black eye Major
League Baseball has received because of fre-
quent testing and players being honest and
not trying to cheat the system, LaPorta said.
UF baseball coach Pat McMahon said he is
proud of the strict drug policy the university
mandates, and said Oriss maintains that the
workouts and training done are what produce
results on the college field.
"There is so much more training with ath-
letes today," he said. "Aluminum bats is a big
factor because the hitting surface on an alumi-
num bat is bigger compared to a wood bal."
LaPorta leads UF in home runs this season.
"I don't really find a big difference between
aluminum and wood," LaPorta said. "I've
always believed if you're a good enough hit-
ter, you're always gonna make good contact,
which is gonna make the ball carry out of the
yard or not."

Mullen preaches dedication, Meyer stresses responsible behavior
FOOTBALL, from page 22
erage is. I'm going to use perfect
footwor k. I'm going to use my eyes
to look off the safety and I'm going
to drive the ball in there like a 100-
mile-an-hour fastball.'"
Junior wide receiver Dallas
Baker exemplifies UF's previously
flawed cycle of receiver develop-
ment. Baker has always been phe-
nomenal in spring, but admittedly
lost ground in summer.
"In the past, I used to make
excuses and maybe [I was] imma-
ture," he said. "Now I've grown
up. I'm going to be there every
day of the summer working at 110
percent."
Added Mullen: "Dallas Baker
has to run every route 1,000 times
this summer and catch up to 1,000
balls if we want to be successful."
Leak will still hold much of the
receiver responsibility. He has to
schedule workout times and some-
times motivate the receivers. But
even the quarterback isn't worried
about this summer's workouts.
"I've done that for three years,
so that's definitely not a problem at
all," Leak said. "All these receivers
want to go. out there and get better."
And Mullen? He has his own
litmus test to determine whether
Leak and Co. do their job.
"I want Chris to approach me
NIck WNest Ali(gator Sta
Wide receiver Dallas Baker hopes to parlay another productive spring into a stellar 2005 season. Baker
says there won't be any fooling around during summer workouts.
after the summer and say, 'You
know what? I can put a blindfold
on and throw all the routes of our
offense right now, because I know
where everyone is going to be,'"
he said.
Avoiding off-the-field disaster:
It's been 129 days since Meyer
officially became UF's coach, and
for 129 days, the Gators football
team has been arrest-free. Still,
Meyer lives every day in fear that
the streak could be snapped, espe-
cially since spring practice is over.
"All you have to do is [check]
ESPN.com, CBSsportsline.com
and all those things every morn-
ing to see what's going on, and it's
shocking," Meyer said.
Last summer, Channing
Crowder, Jarvis Herring and
Taurean Charles were arrested,
while Earl Everett and Skyler
Thornton were implicated in two
sworn complaints.
NCAA Division I policies
forbid Meyer and his assistants
from being involved with summer
workouts, hindering their ability
to monitor players. But Meyer has
a backup plan.
"Instead of being a weight:nd
training staff that kind of closes
[its] eyes and hopes nothing bad
happens, we're going to look into
their eyes and tell what's going on,"
Meyer said. "If you do your home-
work and grind it, you can find out
how your players are living."
Meyer's watchdog program.
starts with the players themselves,
such as redshirt senior Tavares
Washington. UF's designated
clubhopper, Washington frequents
popular club on certain nights to
ensure the players avoid trouble.
"I don't trust them because
they're 18- and 22-year-olds in
a college town with all kinds of
things pulling at them, and I don't
know them well enough yet,"
Meyer said.
For Meyer, UF's 2005 outlook
hinges as much on discipline as
touchdowns.
"If we don't live right, we're
very average next year," he said'.
"If [we] do, we have a chance to
win big."

UF FOOTBALL SUMMER PREVIEW
Staff to test receivers, discipline
By LOUIS ANASTASIS
Alligator Staff Writer
Ianastasis@alligator.org
He already dug The Pit.
He already attracted an unprecedented 58,500
fans for a scrimmage.
So what does Coach Urban Meyer do for an en-
core during the summer? Just re-invents the human
body, that's all.
"I want them to look like what a Florida football
team is supposed to look like," Meyer said. "That's
veins looking like they're stretched, big necks, big
arms, big shoulders and muscular, strong, big
people."
According to Meyer, the Gators are a few million
bench presses away from looking season-ready.
That's where summertime comes in. The play-
ers meet with the assistant coaches this week. They
meet with Meyer next week. And after some time
off, they're off to the weight room.
"There's been a very key challenge given to our .
strength coaches getting this team looking the way
[it's] supposed to look," Meyer said. "Now we're
athletic. We can run on nights with a lot of teams,
but you'll see what we're supposed to look like in
a few months."
Receivers getting serious
They always seem to be fast, always seem to
be among the conference's elite. But UF's wide
receivers have a history of summer woes.
Sure, Chris Leak schedules workout times with
his receivers. Yes, his receivers usually show up.
But in past summers they messed around instead
of running around. They made excuses instead of
plays. All that is about to change.
"What you can't do is go out and fool around,"
quarterbacks coach Dan Mullen said. "Going out
for half an hour and just throwing the ball around Nick West/ Alligator Staff

Coach Urban Meyer has done everything to change

the layers of discipline, vision and honesty, and you get
a man who could very well start his own church. And
get away with it.
Think that's a little far-fetched?
Consider that Meyer has already converted a handful
of non-believers during spring practice.

In no specific order and in no
rank of importance, we'll start with safety-turned-de-
fensive-back-tumed-tight-end-tumed-linebacker Brian
Crum. In his first two seasons, Crum became the epito-
me of the All-Airport All Star. You know looks that kill,
skills that don't. Crum even resembles Milli Vanilli, so
you can't blame him. But after fighting injury and ma-
joring in benchwarmology, Crum has shined in spring
practice at linebacker. You heard that right shined.
Disciple number- two: Billy Latsko. Latsko proves
that Meyer knows a tad more about defense than Zook,
a former NFL defensive coordinator. Latsko did every-
thing right as UF's fullback last season. The problem is
that Meyer's spread offense doesn't have a fullback. So,
instead of asking Latsko to drive his kids to soccer prac-
tice every day, Meyer switched him to linebacker.
"We went into spring practice with two linebackers
that were Florida linebackers," Meyer said. "We walked
away with, I believe, four and a half, five. Crum and
Latsko are the half and they're dose to being Florida
linebackers."
Disciple number three: Todd McCullough, a.k.a. Mr.
Nice Guy. That's how Meyer referred to the linebacker
in his pre-spring press conference. Why the sarcasm?

Additional game could lead to UF-Miami matchup
STAFF REPORT
The NCAA Division I
Management Council has backed
legislation that would allow
Division I-A and I-AA schools to
add a 12th football game starting
with the 2006 season.
The plan was given tenta-
tive approval by the council at
its meeting on Monday and will
be sent to the NCAA Board of
a-
Directors for final consideration
April 28.
The ramifications for UF could
be huge. It's long been discussed
that if the Gators had a 12th game
on its schedule, the UF-Miami
series could be renewed annually.
If the legislation passes, a yearly
clash between the Gators and
Hurricanes could return for the
first time since the 1980s.

Berst said Tuesday he didn't
know whether the NCAA board
would go along with the council's
recommendation, which was op-
posed only by the Atlantic Coast
Conference among I-A confer-
ences.
"I would expect there will.be
more discussion," Berst said. "The
board should have the freedom to
make its own decision."';
There was no discussion of the
issue at the council's meeting.
"The various conferences came
to the meeting prepared to vote,
and we just tallied the votes,"
Berst said.
Ron Wellman, the athletic di-
rector at Wake Forest and chair-
man of the ACC's athletic direc-
tors, said many of the conference's
concerns dealt with academics.
"We believe the season is long
enough at 11 games, and we actu-
ally enjoy the bye week," he said.

The No. 15 UF softball team (32-10,
11-4 Southeastern Conference) will
face a familiar foe when it takes the
diamond in Tampa today.
The Gators will play their third
game against South Florida (28-20),
having already defeated the Bulls
twice in two separate tournaments this
season. The teams will conclude their
extended series at 6 p.m. at the USF
Softball Stadium.
"[USF] will be tough competition,"
Coach Karen Johns said. "They're a
very good hitting team. They have
struggled on the defensive side of the
ball, though, so hopefully we'll be able
to go down there and take advantage
of that."
If the previous two meetings
between the teams are any indica-
tion, today's game should be evenly
matched and hard fought from inning
one through seven. UF won the previ-
ous two match-ups by a combined
three runs, including an extra-innings
affair. The teams nearly matched each
other in hits, with UF holding a 24-22
advantage.
According to Johns, the Gators will
have more than a seasonsweep on their
minds during their time in Tampa.

Lewis figures to play a decent amount in 2005. Imagine
that, Zooker.
Disciple number six: DeShawn Carter. If you look
up "burnout" in recent editions of your Merriam-
Webster, you may very well catch a glimpse of Ca t ter '-
mug shot. Two publications ranked Carter among the
nation's 11-best high school cornerbacks in 1999. But
Carter always seemed to fall behind'about 20 player-s
on UF's depth chart. If you attended any of Meyer's
spring practices, you may have witnessed a rejuve-
nated No. 24 looking like he could cover more than
just a trashcan. Carter may not play much in the fall,
but he's ensured he won't be the joke of UF's second-
ary any longer.
Disciples seven through 12 include more players on
"[A win would be] great for us re-
cruiting-wise," Johns said. "That's abig
area for us to go into. Some of our best
players are from that area."
Two of those players, sophomore
Melissa Zick and junior Mirelis Torres,
both from Tampa, have shined recently
and would like nothing more than to
help the Gators win in their homie-
town.
Zick, who batted 4-for-6 with a
home run in the previous two games
against the Bulls, had an 11-game hit
streak snapped just last weekend.
Torres, on the other hand, has recorded
two pinch-hit home runs in the last
three weeks.
USF coach Ken Eriksen will be look-
ing for his 402nd career victory. UF leads
the all-time series 19-11.

the independent florida O -No ofcallyasscad wt he Uivest o lrda VOLUME 98 ISSUE 136 Senate hears education bill Legislature vying for power to set tuition By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM Alligator Staff Writer jvanl@alligator.org TALLAHASSEE -The Senate Education Committee on Tuesday unanimously approved a House proposal designed to define governance over the state's universities. House Bill 1001 and its Senate companion, 1920, define which powers belong to the Legislature and which belong to the Board of Governors. The bill clarifies that the BOG has a constitutional duty "to operate, regulate, control and be fully responsible for the management of the whole publicly funded State University System." Among other duties, the Governors will define the mission and strategic plan of each university, approve all degree programs, set enrollment levels for each university and negotiate with faculty for bargaining purposes. The BOG also would be able to delegate some responsibilities to university boards of trustees. Conversely, the Legislature would set tuition, fees and financial aid policies, as well as the total budget for the State University System and require universities to participate instate retirement and benefits programs. The only new wrinke in the Senate version of the bill is a measure banning lobbyists from serving on the BOG or as university trustees. The measure empowers the BOG to use more authority than it has previously exercised. But it still -falls short in the eyes of former UF Interim York President E.T. York, who filed suit in Tallahassee last December. In suing, York sought a declaratory judgment that the BOG, among other duties, should have the power to set tuition and fees for each university. "The BOG has the authority to set tuition under the state constitution," he said Tuesday. "The BOG can make a more rational decision on tuition than the legislature, but more importantly, it has the constitutional duty to do so." Bill sponsor Rep. Dudley Goodlette, R-Naples, disagreed with York's assertion. The constitution and its separation of powers grant the Legislature power of the purse, he said. Moreover, legislators are responsible for funding Bright Futures and the Prepaid College Plan, costs of which would skyrocket if universities had power to raise tuition by double-digit percentages each year. Making matters more complicated, universities -including UF -argue they should have power to set tuition.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 2005 UF President Bernie Machen addresses the Alachua County Medical Society on Tuesday night. "The manner in which alcohol is used, and sometimes abused, in this community is a serious problem," he said. Machen pushes alcohol moderation By EMILY YEHLE Alligator Writer eyehle@alligator.org While they're welcome to open a cold beer in their homes, Gainesville residents will no longer be encouraged to do so through TV alcohol advertisements during UF sporting events. UF President Bernie Machen took another step toward changing the university's drinking culture by joining the national Campaign for Alcohol-Free Sports TV, a coalition of more than 200 colleges pledging to break the connection between sports and alcohol. UF is the first major, public university in Florida and the Southeastern Conference to do so, Machen boasted. He announced the move at a Tuesday meeting of the Alachua County Medical Society. Physicians, he said, see the problem daily. Several audience members agreed, some guessing that 70 percent of trauma patients are involved in alcohol-related accidents. Banishing alcoholic messages from UF programming is the latest step of several that Machen has taken this semester. More changes may be made as Machen makes his way through UP's existing policies, conforming to the "positive culture" he said UF wants to exude.

UF's swelling enrollment forced university officials to split the once-unified graduation ceremony into separate events for some of the larger colleges. beginning in 2002. Starting this year, however, all colleges will be in charge of organizing the ceremonies, including responsibility for costs UF paid in prior years. Holding a graduation ceremony involves a lot of behind-thescenes planning and expenses, including renting a venue, printing programs, and paying for staff, said Allyson Beutke. As the publications coordinator for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the largest of UF's 17 colleges, Beutke arranges the programs for the college's undergraduate and graduate commencements.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13,2005 M ALLIGATOR, 3 frry rahs for chary Stand-up acts heard by over 300 students By KYLIE CRAIG Alligator Writer kcraig@aligator.org More than 300 students showed up Tuesday night for the Interfraternity Council's first-ever Stand Up for Comedy philanthropy event. The event, which featured 19 comedians, raised money for the Climb for Cancer Foundation. It was the first time in several years that all IFC fraternities joined together to raise money for one cause. "I'm very proud to see the IFC trying to serve the community through philanthropy and service," Director of Greek Life Chris Bullins said. "Helping the community is what being a fraternity man is all about." The amateur comedians hit on a variety of topics from online away messages to "shacking." Nick West/ Alligator Staff Derrick Aguis performs his stand-up routine during an amateur stand-up comedy competition Tuesday night at Brick City. The competition was held to help raise money to fight children's cancer.

Dianna Guttier was one of only three girls performing in the competition. Guttier, who performs for the Gainesville Comedy Showcase, said she was impressed with the night's performers. "I just really admire all the people who are up here doing this for the first time," she said. Non-Greek students represented several Greek organizations competing in the event. Ben Caswell, who organized the event, said he was impressed with how many people signed up to participate. "I think it's great that the Greek community can put on an event like this and can find nonGreeks who want to participate," he said. Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity member Jason Thomas won the event. Money was raised through attendance fees, and organizers are expecting the event to raise more than $1,500.

4, ALLIGATOR M WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 2005 Studios keep close theaters from showing same films N GAINESVILLE'S TWO MAJOR THEATERS SHOW DIFFERENT MOVIES. By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer dcohen@alligator.org A movie studio-established three-mile guideline is responsible for the monopoly Gainesville's two major theaters have on certain films, a local theater manager said. The venues, Royal Park Stadium 16 Theater and Regal Butler Plaza Cinemas, do not show the same films. "The film studios decide on a policy, as far as I understand it, that theaters within three miles of each other can't play the same titles," said Joln Carpenter, manager of Royal Park Theater on University Avenue and Southwest 35th Street. "We're two-and-a-half miles apart," he said, referring to Regal's Butler Plaza location. "It makes our business harder to run." Jan Black, marketing director for Eastern Federal Theaters, which owns the Royal Park location, said rival Regal Entertainment Group has the power to share the movies it receives with Eastern Federal Theaters, but does not. Calls to Regal Entertainment Group's corporate offices were not returned. However, each is still in the dark about whether one of the -biggest blockbusters of the summer, "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith," will be coming to its silver screens because of the theaters' proximity. Carpenter said he hopes his theater gets the Eastern Federal Theaters' Royal Park is one of the two major theaters in town competing to show first-run movies. new "Star Wars" flick. Theaters do not control which movies they "I can't wait," he said. "But we don't know get to show -studios do, Carpenter said. who has it yet." "In theory the studios are supposed to be However, Gator Cinemas, a small indefair," Carpenter said. "[The situation] is kind pendently owned theater near the Oaks Mall, of in the studios' best interest because it keeps is free to choose from the Hollywood A-list the old movies on the screen longer." lineup without restrictions. However, despite the uncertainty surrounding the new "Star Wars" film that, according to officials at both theaters, will last for about another week, Regal's Butler Plaza location has posted advertisements in its theaters for the science fiction film. Carpenter insists the theaters do not engage in bidding wars to compete for the next big release. "I think it's a common misconception from some people," he said. But Black said her company and Regal Entertainment Group are engaged in a sort of "power play." "They're a large circuit and we're not," she said. "It's a matter of size." Eastern Federal Theaters owns 23 theaters across three states, while Regal Entertainment Group maintains 563 locations throughout 40 states. Black said there are numerous markets where the three-mile rule doesn't apply. She said that if the studios would disregard the distance constraint, consumers would be happier. "Florida areas are more competitive. They seem to stick to those rules. The studios and the consumers would be the big winners," Black said. "We can't make sense of it." She said she did not know the specifics of why Florida's market is more contested. Gator Cinemas is free from the static caused by intense studio involvement, Assistant Manager Abhilash Trehan said. "We can get whatever we want," Trehan said. "It's just between the two major movie theaters." In move to acquire cabinet director, ASU changes name By LINDSAY TAULBEE Alligator Writer Itaulbee@alligator.org Reflecting a shift in programming and the desire for a director of Asian-American Affairs at UF, the Asian Student Union voted to officially change its name to the Asian-American Student Union. Exactly two-thirds of the 60 delegates voted to enact the name change at an April 4 ASU meeting, President Mark Villegas said. A two-thirds vote is the minimum requirement to pass an amendment under ASU's constitution. "I think all of the change is reflective of the different stuff we've been doing and our desire Find someone special. Advertise in The Alligator classifieds. 373-FIND F to get an Asian-American Affairs director," he said. In the past few years, the group's educational programming has dealt mainly with Asian-American issues, Villegas said. Also, in 2004, UF agreed to create an Asian-American Studies certificate, a program that was implemented at the beginning of this semester. He said he believed both these facts may have played into the voters' decisions. Ten representatives from each of -the five organizations under ASU, plus an additional 10 from ASU itself, were eligible to vote. Delegates were informed two weeks prior to the meeting that the issue would be voted on, though the proposal has been discussed informally for more than a year, Villegas said. "I think all of the change is reflective of the different. stuff we've been doing and our desire to get an AsianAmerican Affairs director." Mark Villegas Asian Student Union president ASU will not officially apply for the change until August, when all student groups must re-register with the Student Activities Center anyway. At that time, the group will register under the new name, pending approval-from the director of Student Activities and vice president of Student Affairs. Jen Counts, a program assistant for the Student Activities Center, said the proposed switch will have to meet several requirements before approval. "We require that they submit a constitution that reflects the name change," she said. Additionally, groups may not include "UF" or "University of Florida" in their name, as it may imply official university endorsement. "It's fairly straightforward," she said. Villegas said he realizes students who identify more with the term "Asian" may feel excluded by the new terminology. "That's always a risk. That's a risk we have considered," he said. He noted, however, that the same problem is posed in using the current name, adding, "The majority of people in ASU identify with 'Asian-American."' Villegas said any property with the ASU name on it will not be discarded, as the change is not so drastic as to cause confusion. "The stuff we have now is still usable," he said. The organization originally was part of Volunteers for International Student Affairs. It took on the name Asian Student Union when it split off from VISA in 1993, Villegas said.

6, ALLIGATOR U WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 2005 Editorial Secure server? RIAA access to Internet2 could spell future trouble ncreasingly restrictive legislation sought by the government and intellectual property organizations already has led to visions of a "Big Brother" future, and the Recording Industry Association of America wants to make it clear that no one is safe. Striking a blow for pampered corporate executives the world over, the RIAA plans to file lawsuits against students who have been using the new Internet2 allegedly to trade copyrighted material music and movies. Internet2 is a network used by researchers at universities all across the world to explore the future of the Internet -and it just happens to be exponentially faster than traditional Internet. As expected, ultra-fast Internet access plus college students has equaled a certain amount of illegal file sharing. Of course, these students are a microscopic fraction of the huge number of Internet users who share files, and the files they share are a raindrop next to the vast ocean of illegal sharing. Internet2 is a new frontier in the digital age, however, and the RIAA is making sure that it will be the first to set foot upon virgin soil and plant the first giant WARNING sign. Cary Sherman, president of the RIAA, wants to send a message that Internet2 isn't "a zone of lawlessness where the normal rules don't apply," according to the Associated Press. But file-sharing surveillance, apparently, should bea zone of conduct in which normal rules don't apply. Access to Internet2, as could be expected of any experimental technology, is restricted. Doug Van Houweling, Internet2's chief executive, told the Associated Press that no special access has been provided to the RIAA for it to gather information for these lawsuits. So how did the RIAA find out exactly who had been sharing what, when there theoretically is no way for it to access Internet2? As of yet, the RIAA officially has declined to reveal what measures it took to acquire this information, saying only that there was no unlawful action involved. Let's see if this sets any alarms off: This powerful organization found a way to access technology it shouldn't have been able to access, obtain information it shouldn't have been able to obtain, and then used this information to prepare lawsuits against private citizens -all without having to reveal its sources or methods. But hey, it's OK: They pinkie-swore they didn't do anything illegal. This is disturbing enough by itself, but keep in mind also that this is a university-based research system that deals with powerful, society-shaping technology and information. If the feAA can take a peek whenever it wants into the file-swapping records of Internet2's users with impunity, what other, more sensitive information could be taken by anyone with enough money to "discover" a way in? If the RIAA wants to sue students for file sharing, that's its prerogative. Those students technically are doing something illegal, under current law, even if taking action against a handful of individuals seems foolhardy. Using questionable means to obtain private information, however, is an entirely separate story. In court, the RIAA needs to prove that it has nothing to hide by revealing its sources. There had better be another lawsuit filed very quickly if it chooses not to do so, and we aren't talking about copyright violation. full he Neenet or Dwayne Robinson .Matt Sanchez EDITOR OPINIONS EDITOR Mite Gimignani Lauren Flanagan MANAGING EDITOR Diana Middleton Craig Singleton EDITORIAL BOARD The Alligator encourages comments from readers.

I thought it might be about time to try something new: schoolwork. As I understand it, this was the original purpose of going to college. It's a well-recognized fact, though, that much better ways to spend one's time have since been discovered. In fact, that's why we do research: We're looking for something better to do. This hypothesis is confirmed by a simple glance at the Alligator. Although we're a college paper, besides the occasional reference to something a dean or a professor did, you'd be hard-pressed to find any mention of college. Accordingly, this new foray of mine -this so-called "schoolwork" -warrants a few words. Admittedly, it's not a subject with which I am intimately acquainted. (Seriously, ask my professors.) To put it simply, I've been blessed with the gift of always being able to find something better to do. Since this is, as I said, the aim of research, I figure this should exempt me from doing it. Would you make Shakespeare study grammar or teach a dog to lick his balls? No; they're already experts. But last week, with an eye on my already rather precarious grades, I dismounted from my high horse and climbed down into the trenches to go mano a mano with history. My topic was a titillating one: the effectiveness of Catholic evangelism among the natives of 16th-century Mexico. If that doesn't pique your interest, if that doesn't get your blood pumping, if that doesn't leave you twitterpated just thinking about it, then you are a perfectly normal young adult. If it does, however, I urge you to consult with a physician or grad school admissions catalog. At any rate, I had a fever and there only was one cure: books.

Imagine if you got to have dinner with the members of the Supreme Court, and in the middle of a formal, haute cuisine, five-course meal, Justice O'Connor dribbled spaghetti on her blouse. Footnotes are that kind of revealing: They let you see the man behind the curtain. So, after reading a few of a person's writings and seeing them cited by others, was it weird that I started to feel like I knew the guy? Because I did: I felt like I could have sat down and had a beer (whoops, root beer -sorry Bernie) with my sources. Like, "Man, that article you published in 'The Americas' in '66 -spot on.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 7 Letters to the Editor Bill threatens UF international students Editor If Rep. Dennis Baxley has his way, international students soon could be kissing their financial aid goodbye. As if the $50 fee they pay each Fall and Spring semester for their own surveillance wasn't bad enough, international students across Florida soon may be denied state financial aid altogether. Baxley recently co-authored a bill that could eliminate financial aid by state funds to international students. The bill, which aims to "expand access to post-secondary -education and reduce student indebtedness," also includes "prohibiting the use of such ftnds to provide financial assistance to specified foreign students." UF has made it a priority to increase the diversity of the student body and faculty alike. President Machen has spoken on numerous occasions of becoming a Top 10 institution and the importance of a diverse campus to achieving that goal. International students are a vital part of UE Many departments at UF rely heavily on international graduate students to do the bulk of their teaching. What message will the administration be sending to potential students from other countries if they don't provide any financial assistance to help them achieve their academic goals? Will international students enroll at UF at all? UF had 127 fewer international students enroll in the 2004 school year than the 2003 academic year, which amounts to a 22 percent drop in that year's enrollment and a 5 percent drop within the total international student body. Those numbers only will continue to plunge if this bill passes. I call on the UF administration to take a stand against SB 866 (HB 21). If UF truly values diversity as it claims, then it will take the measures necessary to protect international student financial aid. Robin Collins 7FY 'Drunk' radio show respects participants Editor: Earlier-this semester my friend and I were invited to be on "Drunk Bitch Friday." My friend was the participant and I was her "handler." Throughout the show, I was completely sober and witnessed firsthand the mannerisms and demeanor of Lex and Terty. Never once did they encourage her to have more alcohol, nor did they make her feel bad for wantig to stop driving. It completely was her decision on what and how much she wanted to drink, and a police officer was on hand at all times to oversee things. After we left the show, transportation and an extra night's stay in a hotel were provided for safety and security reasons. UF should not cancel a show that doesn't force their guests to do anything they don't want to do. The people involved with the Lex and Terry show acted responsibly and had nothing to do with the decisions my friend made. UF definitely has overstepped its boundaries on this one. SThe fact is, the Lex and Terry show doesn't encourage drinking. The university can cancel any show it wants, but that isn't going to discourage or stop drinking. Lex and Terty aren't exploiting a problem, becai-ise they aren't encouraging underage drinking, drunk driving or even binge drinking. They simply are asking a legal, responsible young lady to come on their show and have a good time. If we, as a university community, do not trust ourselves enough to do the right thing and worry that a simple morning talk show can skew our judgment, than I think we have a much larger problem to worry about. Rebecca Fair 4BA Heros don't just 'overcome' disabilities Editor: Jason Levitt's column "Midget Porn Star Not a Good Role Model," was offensive at its core. His ableism and fear of disability is apparent throughout the column, which does nothing more than help keep cultural stereotypes and stigrnas in place. While Levitt may choose to hold any beliefs he likes concerning pornography and subsequently judge anyone with or without a disability participating in pornography, the column had nothing to do with porn and everything to do with his misunderstanding of disability pride and disability culture. Levitt refers to Bridget as "the actress who dehumanizes herself as some sexual circus freak." He does not say pornography is dehumanizing, but rather he says being a "sexual circus freak" is. Is a black person in pornography being a sexual circus n**-*"? Is a homosexual in pornography a sexual circus f**? Why is a midget in pornography a freak? Are all midgets freaks, or is that just when they have sex on or off the screen? Levitt writes, "What Powerz does is the opposite. She becomes her disability. She is Bridget 'the Midget.' And then she takes her disability, now her whole person, and makes it a fetish for others." He suggests that, by identifying with a core aspect of herself -her disability Bridget is committing an act of selftreason. This is akin to suggesting a Native American not take pride in being Iroquois or a female not take pride in being a woman. Levitt continues this thread of ableism by writing that Bridget's identification with her disability "is not self-actualization; this is selfdehumanization." This is tantamount to saying that being disabled is-dehumanizing. Levitt attempts to mitigate his criticism by praising Bethany Stevens, but in doing so he only further reveals his position. He patronizingly salutes her for having "proved to be more than her disability." This is no more acceptable than saying that the president of the Black Student Association is a hero for overcoming his or her black skin tone. Bethany Stevens is powerful and extraordinary, and none of this is because she has "overcome" her disability. Scot Hollonbeck Past UF disabled speaker Guest column Past tragic events don't represent the true nature of Israel In his guest column, William James Martin begins with an elaborate description of events that allegedly took place in the village of Deir Yassin on April 9, 1948. This isolated "massacre," while generally accepted as having taken place, does not represent the state of Israel. Terrorism does not represent the state of Israel. Israel is a nation of peace, and one that does not deliberately target civilians or threaten to exterminate the existence of an entire people. The technological, social and humanitarian advancements made every day by Israel attest to her glory as a thriving member of the international community, and her numerous efforts at forging peace with the Palestinians cannot be overlooked. I ask you, Mr. Martin, have the Palestinian people ever made a concerted effort at peace with the Israelis? The answer is no. Do not fall into the trap of moral equivalency, asserting that an isolated incident should condemn the efforts of an entire nation, especially when terrorist groups supported by the Palestinian Authority believe that the use of violence is a legitimate activity. Martin casts a negative image on Israel as a state "created -for one ethnicity." I answer this in two ways. First, Israel was created not for but by one ethnicity, and this can be seen in the makeup of the Israeli Knesset where -Russell Arab parties hold many seats. Second, Semmel this statement seems out of line with the Speaking Out global trend of the formation of the nation-state. A nation-state may be defined as. a state whose political borders are coterminous with cultural or ethnic boundaries. Some of the greatest examples of states created for one ethnicity are France, Spain and any of the former Soviet Socialist Republics. Additionally, to say that Israel exists at the expense of the indigenous Arab population simply is false for many reasons. First of all, a Jewish presence in the land of Palestine has existed far longer than an Arab population. The arrival of many more Jews into the region during the latter half of the 19th century initiated and contributed to the revival of the land and the reinstitution of its economy. Jewish immigrants, purchasing land legally from local authorities under the slowly destabilizing Ottoman Empire, were responsible for creating social institutions and a system of irrigation, among other advancements, which would lay the foundation for the state of Israel. Evidence of this is beautifully cited by Alan Dershowitz and by Berny Morris, to whom Martin refers often in his writings. While I cannot claim to know much about Martin, one can deduce a certain amount about him and his ideologies from articles of his such as "Who Is Pushing Whom into the Sea?" and "Condoleezza Rice Confused about the Middle East." I generally am a progressive person, but I also am very pro-Israel, and it is time for liberal Americans, especially instructors such as Martin and his colleagues, to understand that these values are not mutually exclusive. Israel is a beacon of hope for democracy in an otherwise dark region of the world, and should be supported by every American regardless of ideology. The beautiful thing about supporting Israel is that this issue is one of the few on which most government officials agree across the aisle. It is time instructors on college campuses across the country come forth with pro-Israel views. It is not "popular" among liberal academics to support Israel, seemingly because the Palestinians are the "underdogs" and the tradition stands to support those in a weaker position. This is utter nonsense, and pro-Israel professors need not be embarrassed any longer to be as outspoken as their anti-Israel counterparts are. Perhaps, with the reinstatement of a study-abroad program to Israel at UF as well as at many other prestigious universities across the nation, professors finally will have their chance.

8, ALLIGATOR U WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13,2005 PUBLIC SAFETY Man found to have no wounds Staff suspected he was shot By ELIZABETH PRANN Alligator Writer eprann@aligator.org A few good Samaritans brought two Gainesville law-enforcement agencies out for a chase of what they thought was a badly wounded patron Tuesday. An unidentified man was allegedly wandering around the UF Bookstore on Tuesday with a woman when workers said they noticed red bandages wrapped around his left arm and what looked like an untreated gunshot wound to his leg, according to a Gainesville Police incident report. Employees thought wounds were severe and suspected the man had improperly treated them himself, the report states, and called University Police. GPD Lt. Brian Helmerson said his agency responded to a UPD call reporting the situation. Officers from both UPD and GPD were dispatched to the Bank of America on West University Avenue at 5:30 p.m. when a man fitting the description of the one seen in the bookstore entered the branch. Authorities did find, and briefly spoke with, a man accompanied by a blonde female, but he had no apparent injuries, Helmerson said. The lieutenant said those who thought they saw something suspicious were seeing things that weren't really there. "It turned out to be nothing," Helmerson said. "A lot of hoopla about nothing." Since the incident did not result in an arrest or citation, the man was not identified in the police report. 3 ~ .,##Opt "Copyrighted Materia I -4 JWySyndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" CE!

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 2005 3 ALLIGATOR, 9 Bill passed House 97-17 1 UF to ban ads, encourage responsible drinking DEVOLUTION, from page 1 UF has some of the lowest tuition costs in the nation, and President Bernie Machen has argued that UF must raise tuition significantly to bolster university revenues. However, at an event Tuesday, Machen expressed his confidence that the bill would not impede upon UF's goals. Joe Kays, a UF spokesman on legislative issues, said that while he was encouraged that UF could have more leeway this year in setting tuition for out-of-state and graduate students -neither of which are covered by the Bright Futures or Prepaid programs -UF is still lobbying for more. "It's kind of an evolving thing, this whole devolution process, and while this is a good start, hopefully they'll consider more as time goes on," Kays said. "We're going to keep working toward that goal, and we'll have to see how the economic and political environment evolves over the next year and beyond." Since the Legislature has paid for Bright Futures and Prepaid, it has sought to keep tuition -and therefore its own Bright Futures costs -low. The UP administration contends low tuition starves the university of funding and keeps faculty salaries well below the national average. But in an era where most students graduate thousands of dollars in debt, UF students want to keep it that way. Lobbyists employed by Student Government at a cost of $70,000 in Activity and Service fees supported the bill over the opposition of the university and urged it along in the Senate. The bill passed the Florida House 97-17 on March 29, but no similar Senate plan had been considered until Tuesday. Senate President Tom Lee said he was uncomfortable passing such a bill until the York lawsuit had been decided. But Lee, noted for opposing the power of lobbyists in Tallahassee, wanted lobbyists banned from serving on the BOG or boards of trustees. In return for nudging the bill through the Senate, House Speaker Allan Bense, R-Panama City, agreed to keep lobbyists off the boards, leading to a deal that advances the legislation. In 2000, lobbyist-tumed-politician-turned-lobbyist John Thrasher abolished the Board of Regents while serving as House Speaker in order to build a medical school at Florida State University, his alma mater, and put state universities under the control of Gov. Jeb Bush's Department of Education. Two years later, former U.S. Sen. Bob Graham sponsored a voter-initiated constitutional amendment establishing the BOG to govem the system as a replacement to the Regents. In 2004, the Legislature, led by FSU alumnus Senate President Jim King, approved $9 million a year in perpetuity for a controversial chiropractic school to be built at FSU. Thrasher, now chairman of the FSU Board of Trustees, refused to kill the plan fearing retaliation against his lobby, although many at FSU wanted nothing to do with the school. The newly-formed BOG, led by Carolyn Roberts of Ocala, finally bared its teeth Jan. 27 when it shot down the plan. Reached Tuesday for comment, Roberts declined to talk about the bill but said, "I think it's very important for the BOG to have a good relationship with the Legislature, and I intend to have that relationship." MACHEN ,from page 1 cool sponsorship for any event held at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center. Then, he encouraged joint university and city meetings, spawning three subcommittees to research the problem. And this week he suspended the Lex and Terry radio segment "Drunk Bitch Friday" from Rock 104's airwaves, citing that it is "dehumanizing" to women and promotes binge drinking. But Machen said he doesn't expect these measures to stop students from imbibing, calling the acts "overly simplistic." The idea is to change the environment that leads to unhealthy drinking habits, he said. This includes alcohol specials, advertising and preconceived notions of college life. UF already has begun educating incoming freshmen on the misconception that most UF students drink excessively. If students don't think they're expected to go through college in an alcoholic blur, they're more likely to be responsible drinkers, he said. Responsibility is the focus at this stage, not abstinence. "I have no intention of attempting to force a state of prohibition for any student who is over 21 and who makes responsible choices," he said. "Too many students in our community, drinkers and non-drinkers alike, have experienced firsthand the tragic consequences of excessive drinking," he said. Machen But those who say that drinking is a "right of passage" for students and nothing can be done are wrong, Machen said. "If we just give them a little help, they'll get it and they'll take off with this thing," he said. A proposed City Commission ordinance closing bars at 3 a.m., however, is not a push in the right direction. Even if alcohol was not sold during the extra hour that the ordinance would provide over the current 2 a.m. last call, there hasn't been any research proving that students will then be less likely to get into accidents, he said. UF medicalstudentKelly Hildebrand, 27, said she probably would have qualified as a problematic drinker during her undergraduate years. But after seeing the repercussions of alcohol abuse in friends, she now rarely imbibes. Machen is on the right track, she said after hearing him at the event. "I think he did a really good job bringing up valid points," she said. Timothy Flynn, the Medical Society's president-elect, agreed. Machen, he said, is sending the right message by being stringent with advertisements. "I'm a big believer in symbolism," he said. The next step, Machen said, is to work with bars to curb the shower of alcohol specials around Gainesville. Five alcohol-related deaths in 15 months needs to be addressed, he said. "I don't want any more kids to die," he said. Convocation canceled after UF fails to find speaker GRADUATION, from page 1 "It's great to have your own ceremony because you can personalize it and do pretty much whatever you want," she said. "It's not like we mind doing graduation." But this year the ceremonies will cost the college $35,000. "There's just the cost side involved," she said, adding that staffers across the college also have to take on extra work. "It's definitely changed in the past few years." Lionel Dubay, the director of the Stephen C. O'Connell Center, wrote in an e-mail that UF colleges pay $300 less than nonprofit outside organizations, and $600 less than commercial organizations to rent the facility, although events cost the O'Connell Center the same amount. The bill adds up to approximately $10,000 for a college that fills the building. The O'Connell Center will host sevenceremonies this year. Since the UF administration will not pay for graduation anymore, Beutke thought that money would go toward a convocation the entire university could attend. But this year, convocation will not be held because UF could not book a speaker in a timely manner, Associate Provost Sheila Dickison wrote in an e-mail. Interim Provost Joe Glover was not available to confirm whom UF invited to speak. Last year's convocation brought the entire university together, which is a rare feat, said Neil Sullivan, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. "It was a rallying point for the university as a whole," Sullivan said, adding he received good feedback from parents. "I very much appreciated the ceremony last year." Pramod Khargonekar, dean of the College of Engineering, said he was disappointed graduates would not get convocation this year, but understood why it happened. "It's great to have your own ceremony because you can personalize it and do pretty much whatever you want." Allyson Beutke publications coordinator, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences .He said last year's convocation may have set the bar too high with U.S. Sen. John McCain as the keynote speaker. "You always miss something like that, but I think we will make up for it with the rest of the program," Khargonekar said. His college had to find funds in its budget to support graduation, but he said having a more personal ceremony is worth it. "I feel it's really important for our students," Khargonekar said. "We had to find the money." .The College of Engiheering will have a keynote speaker at its commencement, but Liberal Arts and Sciences'undergraduate commencement is still too long for such an address. The ability to host speakers was considered one of the benefits to separating the ceremony into individual events. But the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is so large that it had to split its graduations this year because of fire codes, and the undergraduate ceremony still is expected to fill the O'Dome. In a few years it may have to split up that event, Sullivan said. 8 the [ Go to GatorDreamJob.com and read contestant essays.

10, ALLIGATOR N WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 2005 Marjunalega zaingroup says 'Know Your Rights' By JESSICA RIFFEL Alligator Contributing Writer Knowing the Bill of Rights is one's strongest asset when it comes to averting arrest, a National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws official told attendees at an on-campus forum Tuesday. "I hoped they would learn self-p rose r v atio n On techniques to keep -4 MOU themselves out of the criminal justice system and that they should assert their constitutional rights whenever possible," NORML Executive Director Allen St. Pierre said. St. Pierre explained how the Fifth Amendment protects people from being compelled to testify against themselves, urging the audience to never consent to a search or to answer questions without an attorney present. That knowledge served St. Pierre when he encountered a potentially compromising situation. Years ago, while driving in Pennsylvania, he hit a median and was pulled over. The police officer began asking questions, but when the officer asked to search his vehicle, St. Pierre refused. Without a warrant, the officer could not legally perform the search, and St. Pierre was allowed to leave. The UF chapter of NORML organizes a meeting every year regarding the topic of constitutional rights. "Profiling is a terrible cancer that comes out of prohibition." Allen St. Pierre NORML executive director St. Pierre explained that even if a person is respectful, police often profile the people they pull over. In such instances, they may not be able to leave as easily as St. Pierre did. "Profiling is a terrible cancer that comes out of prohibition," St. Pierre said. He told the audience that the No. 1 factor that increases interaction with police is age, with profiling being the most pervasive among 24-and-under males. To combat unjust situations in which officers take advantage of people's ignorance of the law, NORML created the Freedom Card, which states all of the relevant constitutional rights that one should invoke when being questioned. The cards state that the person intends to remain silent, retain an attorney, invoke Miranda rights and refuse any searches. NORML has many lawyers, including more than 20 in the state of Florida. St. Pierre explained how NORML has won cases based on officers' violation of people's constitutional rights. "If you've got the gumption, and you've got the resources, you can challenge the government," St. Pierre said. The president of UF's NORML chapter, Ashlee Valdes, met St. Pierre at the organization's national conference in 2004 and invited him to speak at UF's event. "Knowing how to assert your rights is very important," Valdes said. "People should now be able to use it in a police encounter." Allen St. Pierre, executive director for NORML, speaks to an audience on Tuesday evening about Florida's marijuana laws as a part of the "Know Your Rights" presentation. FREE!

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 2005 0 ALLIGATOR, 11 STUDENT GOVERNMENT Cabinet increase sparks debate By STEPHEN MAGRUDER Alligator Writer smagruder@alligator.org Initial efforts by the soon-to-be Student Body president and vice president to increase the number and specialization of cabinets in Student Government succeeded Tuesday night, but not without fervent debate in the Student Senate. The number of cabinets, which address a wide range of student issues under SG's executive branch, was increased from 36 to 41. The Public Relations Cabinet was split into Advertising, Promotions and Publicity, and a Responsible Gators Cabinet was added to address UF administrative concerns about excessive student drinking. The bill originally was authored by Student Body President-elect Joe Goldberg and Vice Presidentelect Joyce Medina, but Jennifer Puckett, who oversaw the cabinets during the past year in her role as Student Body vice president, added herself as an author during Tuesday's Senate meeting. "They know what they're doing -the changes they've made address real concerns," Puckett said. She added that she spent a lot of time discussing the changes with Goldberg and Medina. Sen. Kevin Bacon, who said he has worked on SG's Cabinet for two years, made two formal Bacon amend m en t to the bill to prevent the Cabinet from becoming what he called a "sprawling bureaucracy." Bacon said since an unlimited amount of staff members can work within each Cabinet, adding more cabinets would result in each of them receiving less funding and becoming less effective. He tried twice to stop the addition of an Internal Communications Cabinet, which he said does not meet statute requirements. SG documents state that Cabinet requirements are to coordinate communications between organizations and SG, as well as maintaining an SG bulletin board and making the SG office a "welcoming and cheerful environment." Both of Bacon's amendments to remove additional cabinets failed in close votes, as well as one amendment by Sen. Mike Belle to remove the Responsible Gators Cabinet from the bill because he said he felt it was more of a political gesture than something that truly was needed. Sen. Jackie Pace said Cabinet positions exist to serve the students, and an increase in cabinets would only further that cause. "I don't see how expanding Student Government is going to hurt at all," she said. We offer the opportunity to get it. available with the -Ad Department for U,0F &SFCC stu-dents for Summ er ,2005.

In the book, not only does Canseco admit to using steroids, but he also names other players who he witnessed using steroids. Canseco hit over 400 home runs and was the first player to hit 40 in one season while stealing 40 bases. Canseco testified before Congress about steroids on March 17. In his testimony, he said steroid use was rampant and baseball tumed its back to it. -IAN FISHER You need it. I I

12, ALLIGATOR N WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 2005 UF weighs in on drug-free paths to sports fitness E COLLEGE BASEBALL HAS SEEN FAR FEWER STEROID ALLEGATIONS. By MARK HULSEY Alligator Contributing Writer The needle is inserted into the body, or the cream is rubbed on. That is all it takes for a baseball player to cheat the game by using steroids. Major League Baseball steroid allegations have made news recently, leaving college baseball as a pure, drug-free form of the game. The NCAA has a strict policy in place for players who test positive for any banned substance. The athlete becomes ineligible for 365 days and loses one year of eligibility Besides giving a player an apparent advantage, performance-enhancing steroids have serious negative side effects that can stay with a player long after his career is over. "The side effects for men would be acne. It shrinks the testicles and can cause cancer," said Charlie Himt, a certified personal trainer. Hunt said oral steroids, those in capsule or tablet form, can put lesions on the liver. College baseball has avoided the steroid allegations of the professional game by using regimented workout programs done under the supervision of trainers, and by using the extra power provided by aluminum bats. "Arabolic steroids deal with the male hormone testosterone, which increases strength in the muscle," Hunt said. Matt LaPorta, first baseman Student for the UF baseball team, said Life steroids are not necessary. "I think the workouts we do here get you plenty big, plenty strong and it's the baseball kind of strength you need," he said. The workout program starts in early Fall and consists of weightlifting four times a week. The workout program also consists of running four times a week, working on endurance as well as agility. The constant theme in all the workouts is the need to make sure the workouts keep the athletes at the proper fitness level for baseball. "With baseball players, you don't want them to get very bulky. You're always trying to increase flexibility," said Steve Oriss, strength and conditioning coach for UF baseball. "The main goal for any baseball player is to develop power. We'll turn base strength and power into baseball-specific strength." The NCAA has its own testing policy players must abide by, and the university also has a policy in place monitoring players closer than the NCAA requires, Driss said. The university randomly tests all its athletes every few weeks. This policy has been in place for years and has not been affected by the recent steroid accusations at the professional level. In 1999-2000, the NCAA administered 9,206 tests. Ninety-two athletes, less than I percent, tested positive for steroids. Some players use additional supplements like Creatine, but not before they are specifically approved by a nutritionist. Legal supplements are used in college baseball but are closelymonitored. The Gators use a post-workout recovery drink known as Go Shake, a calorie booster, but that is all the university provides. LaPorta is not into supplement use, preferring a more natural method. "I use vitamins and just try to eat," he said. Players in college and professional baseball tend to agree that a player's athletic ability is what makes one successful. LaPorta said he believes steroids are avoided at the amateur level because the urgency to be great is not as high as it is when baseball becomes one's occupation. "You see it more when you get into the minors because you got guys with the same talent as you, and everybody is trying to up their game," LaPorta said. College has avoided the black eye Major League Baseball has received because of frequent testing and players being honest and not trying to cheat the system, LaPorta said. UF baseball coach Pat McMahon said he is proud of the strict drug policy the university mandates, and said Oriss maintains that the workouts and training done are what produce results on the college field. "There is so much more training with athletes today," he said. "Aluminum bats is a big factor because the hitting surface on an aluminum bat is bigger compared to a wood bat." LaPorta leads UF in home runs this season. "I don't really find a big difference between aluminum and wood," LaPorta said. "I've always believed if you're a good enough hitter, you're always gonna make good contact, which is gonna make the ball carry out of the yard or not."

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 21 Mullen preaches dedication, Meyer stresses responsible FOOTBALL, from page 22 -, erage is. I'm going to use perfect footwork. I'm going to use my eyes to look off the safety and I'm going to drive the ball in there like a 100mile-an-hour fastball."' Junior wide receiver Dallas Baker exemplifies UP's previously flawed cycle of receiver development. Baker has always been phenomenal in spring, but admittedly lost ground in summer. "In the past, I used to make excuses and maybe [I was] immature," he said. "Now I've grown up. I'm going to be there every day of the summer working at 110 percent." Added Mullen: "Dallas Baker has to run every route 1,000 tines this summer and catch up to 1,000 balls if we want to be successful." Leak will still hold much of the receiver responsibility. He has to schedule workout times and sometimes motivate the receivers. But even the quarterback isn't worried akout this summer's workouts. "I've done that for three years, so that's definitely not a problem. at all," Leak said. "All these receivers want to go out there and get better." And Mullen? He has his own litmus test to determine whether Leak and Co. do their job. "I want Chris to approach me lc~ Wide receiver Dallas Baker hopes to parlay another productive spring into a stellar 2005 season. Baker says there won't be any fooling around during summer workouts. after the summer and say, 'You know what? I can put a blindfold on and throw all the routes of our offense right now, because I know where everyone is going to be,"' he said. Avoiding off-the-field disaster: It's been 129 days since Meyer officially became UF's coach, and for 129 days, the Gators football team has been arrest-free. Still, Meyer lives every day in fear that the streak could be snapped, especially since spring practice is over. "All you have to do is [check] ESPN.com, CBSsportsline.com and all those things every morning to see what's going on, and it's shocking," Meyer said. Last summer, Channing behavior Chowder Jarvis Herring and Taurean Charles were arrested, while Earl Everett and Skyler Thornton were implicated in two sworn complaints. NCAA Division I policies forbid Meyer and his assistants from being involved with summer workouts, hindering their ability to monitor players. But Meyer has a backup plan. "Instead of being a weigh_ e7nd training staff that kind of closes [its] eyes and hopes nothing bad happens, we're going to look into their eyes and tell what's going on," Meyer said. "If you do your homework and grind it, you can find out how your players are living." Meyer's watchdog program. starts with the players themselves, such as redshirt senior Tavares Washington. UF's designated clubhopper, Washington frequents popular club on certain nights to ensure the players avoid trouble. "I don't trust them because they're 18and 22-year-olds in a college town with all kinds of things pulling at them, and I don't know them well enough yet," Meyer said. For Meyer, UF's 2005 outlook hinges as much on discipline as touchdowns. "If we don't live right, we're very average next year," he said. "If [we] do, we have a chance to win big."

S pr WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 2005 .ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org UFT L SUMMER PREVIEW Staff to test receivers, discipline By LOUIS ANASTASIS Alligator Staff Writer lanastasis@alligator.org He already dug The Pit. He already attracted an imprecedented 58,500 fans for a scrimmage. So what does Coach Urban Meyer do for an encore during the summer? Just re-invents the human body, that's all. "I want them to look like what a Florida football team is supposed to look like," Meyer said. "That's veins looking like they're stretched, big necks, big arms, big shoulders and muscular, strong, big* people." According to Meyer, the Gators are a few million bench presses away from looking season-ready. That's where summertime comes in. The players meet with the assistant coaches this week. They meet with Meyer next week. And after some time off, they're off to the weight room. "There's been a very key challenge given to our strength coaches getting this team looking the way [it's] supposed to look," Meyer said. "Now we're athletic. We can run on nights with a lot of teams, but you'll see what we're supposed to look like in a few months." Receivers getting serious They always seem to be fast, always seem to be among the conference's elite. But UF's wide receivers have a history of summer woes. Sure, Chris Leak schedules workout times with his receivers. Yes, his receivers usually show up. But in past summers they messed around instead of running around. They made excuses instead of plays. All that is about to change. "What you can't do is go out and fool around," quarterbacks coach Dan Mullen said. "Going out for half an hour and just throwing the ball around Nick West / Alligator Staff doesn't accomplish anything. Coach Urban Meyer just concluded his first spring in "[Guys need to be] going out and saying, 'OK, Gainesville, but the summertime presents several concerns [I'm] running this look, ahd this is what the covfor Meyer and his assistant coaches.

Coach Urban Meyer has done everything to change the Gators football program short of spray-painting "The Swamp" in Utes red and white. But peel away all the layers of discipline, vision and honesty, and you get a man who could very well start his own church. And get away with it. Think that's a little far-fetched? Consider that Meyer has already converted a handful of non-believers during spring practice. In fact, you could even call them Meyer's 12 disciples. By disciples, I don't mean players that are dearer to Meyer. By diciples, I mean players who under Ron Zook had no business strapping on a helmet Lou is and jock strap. Now those same Anastasis players have been suddenly Louis in the Bullpen revived from a state of pigskin lanastasis@alligator.org coma. In no specific order and in no rank of importance, we'll start with safety-turned-defensive-back-tumed-tight-end-turned-nebacker Brian Crum. In his first two seasons, Crum became the epitome of the All-Airport All Star. You know -looks that kill, skills that don't. Cnum even resembles Milli Vanilli, so you can't blame him. But after fighting injury and majoring in benchwarmology, Crum has shined in spring practice at linebacker. You heard that right -shined. Disciple number. two: Billy Latsko. Latsko proves that Meyer knows a tad more about defense than Zook, a former NFL defensive coordinator. Latsko did everything right as UF's fullback last season. The problem is that Meyer's spread offense doesn't have a fullback. So, instead of asking Latsko to drive his kids to soccer practice every day, Meyer switched him to linebacker. "We went into spring practice with two linebackers that were Florida linebackers," Meyer said. "We walked away with, I believe, four and a half, five. Crum and Latsko are the half and they're close to being Florida linebackers." Disciple number three: Todd McCullough, a.k.a. Mr. Nice Guy. That's how Meyer referred to the linebacker in his pre-spring press conference. Why the sarcasm?

The plan was given tentative, approval by the council at its meeting on Monday and will be sent to the NCAA Board of Directors for final consideration April 28. The ramifications for UF could be huge. It's long been discussed that if the Gators had a 12th game on its schedule, the UF-Miami series could be renewed annually. If the legislation passes, a yearly clash between the Gators and Hurricanes could return for the first time since the 1980s. Division I vice president David "We believe the season is long enough at 11 games, and we actually enjoy the bye week." Ron Wellman Wake Forest athletic director Berst said Tuesday he didn't know whether the NCAA board would go along with the council's recommendation, which was opposed only by the Atlantic Coast Conference among I-A conferences. "I would expect there will be more discussion," Berst said. "The board should have the freedom to make its own decision." There was no discussion of the issue at the council's meeting. "The various conferences came to the meeting prepared to vote, and we just tallied the votes," Berst said. Ron Wellman, the athletic director at Wake Forest and chairman of the ACC's athletic directors, said many of the conference's concerns dealt with academics. "We believe the season is long enough at 11 games, and we actually enjoy the bye week," he said.

BULLPEN, from page 22 but collided with the hurt bug (not related to the more commonly-accepted injury bug) last season. It seems like The Pit has scared the pansy out of the junior, whom Meyer says should play plenty come fall. Disciple number four: Earl Everett. Continuing the linebacker trend is this well-built player, who somehow forgot how to tackle players last season. So what did Meyer have to say after tutoring him this spring? "Everett is one of our best players." Disciple number five: Reggie Lewis. The only time this receiver made headlines was when he ran a fly pattern into the hospital for overheating during practice last season. So what does Meyer do with Lewis? Switch By WILLIS JACOBSON Alligator Writer The No. 15 UF softball team (32-10, 11-4 Southeastern Conference) will face a familiar foe when it takes the diamond in Tampa today. The Gators will play their third game against South Florida (28-20), having already defeated the Bulls twice in two separate tournaments atis season. The teams will conclude their extended series at 6 p.m. at the USF Softball Stadium. "[USE] will be tough competition," Coach Karen Johns said. "They're a very good hitting team. They have struggled on the defensive side of the ball, though, so hopefully we'll be able to go down there and take advantage of that." If the previous two meetings between the teams are any indication, today's game should be evenly matched and hard fought from inning one through seven. UF won the previous two match-ups by a combined three runs, including an extra-innings affair. The teams nearly matched each other in hits, with UF holding a 24-22 advantage. taff According to Johns, the Gators will of have more than a seasonsweep on their minds during their time in Tampa. him to cornerback to take advantage of his athleticism. Lewis figures to play a decent amount in 2005. Imagine that, Zooker. Disciple number six: DeShawn Carter. If you look up "burnout" in recent editions of your MerriamWebster, you may very well catch a glimpse of Carter's mug shot. Two publications ranked Carter among the* nation's 11-best high school cornerbacks in 1999. But Carter always seemed to fall behindabout 20 players on UF's depth chart. If you attended any of Meyer's spring practices, you may have witnessed a rejuvenated No. 24 looking like he could cover more than just a trashcan. Carter may not play much in the fall, but he's ensured he won't be the joke of UF's secondary any longer. Disciples seven through 12 include more players on "[A win would be] great for us recruiting-wise," Johns said. "That's a big area for us to go into. Some of our best players are from that area." Two of those players, sophomore Melissa Zick and junior Mirelis Torres, both from Tampa, have shined recently and would like nothing more than to help the Gators win in their hometown. Zick, who batted 4-for-6 with a home run in the previous two games against the Bulls, had an 11-game hit streak snapped just last weekend. Torres, on the other hand, has recorded two pinch-hit home runs in the last three weeks. USF coach Ken Eriksen will be looking for his 402nd career victory. UF leads the all-time series 19-11.
