Basketball stars declare for NBA draft
By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
bapp@alligator.org
Exactly one month after UF won its first-
ever Southeastern Conference title, the specu-
lation surrounding the shape of the Gators'
backcourt next season continued to mount.
Junior guards Anthony Roberson and
Matt Walsh declared for the NBA draft on
Wednesday. But neither Roberson nor Walsh
has hired an agent, leaving them eligible to
return for their senior seasons, according to
NCAA regulations, if they choose to withdraw
from the draft by June 21.
While Roberson had been expected to
declare, Coach Billy Donovan surprisingly
announced Walsh's decision at a press confer-
ence just four hours after Roberson's initial
declaration.
Donovan, however, believes Walsh is sim-
ply testing his NBA stock.
"Matt has made it very dear to me that the
only way he would go is if he's a first-round
draft pick," Donovan said.
"And I don't think Matt
thinks, right now, that he's
a first-round pick.
"He feels like right now
would be the time to see
where he has to get better
and see what NBA manag-
Walsh ers think of him."
At this point, Donovan
doesn't feel that Walsh has much understand-
ing of what NBA officials think of him.
"I can't tell you right now if.Matt Walsh is
a first-round or a second-round draft pick or
even if he would get drafted for that matter,
Donovan said. "I don't know."
Walsh has participated in the Bradenton-
based IMG Academies' basketball training
program, which has historically served as an
NBA springboard for underclassmen.
"I think if you ask Matt what is the per-
ception surrounding him in the NBA, I don't

Canseco speech
takes juicy turn
* HE DID NOT LOOK UP
WHILE READING SPEECH.

What started peacefully
turned into something a bit
more disorderly at the-Stephen

Former Major

CampUS player Jose
Canseco, who
was paid $35,000 by Accent,
UF's speakers bureau, to speak
Wednesday night, read his
whole pre-prepared speech
without making eye contact
with a crowd of more than
1,000.
But once the question-and-
answer session came around,
things quickly changed.
One audience member

pointed out that in Canseco's
book "Juiced: Wild Times,
Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hlits,
and How Baseball Got Big," he
said he wo.ild never again set
foot in the state of Florida.
Even if he didn't show up
in Gainesville, Canseco has to
appear at a civil trial in Miami
today. Earlier in the trial, it was
revealed that the former star
received a $300,000 advance for
"Juiced."
Someone had the, well, balls
to ask if Canseco had suffered
from any side effects from the
steroids, primarily "ball shrink-
age.
Canseco said some shrink-
age actually had occurred,
drawing howls of laughter from
the crowd.
"Who wants big balls, any-
way?" Canseco said. "You don't a arriott/ Alligator Staff

Campus NOW undergoes abrupt change in leadership
Clash over direction cited
By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org
Citing a need for a broader political and social agenda, UF's
Campus National Organization for Women voted in new lead-
ership Tuesday.
Since December, dissatisfied members of Campus NOW
have been covertly plotting with current and former members
to thwart former President Kelly Mangan's bid for re-election.
Mangan has been accused of pressuring members into act-
ing out her "restrictive" agenda and "silencing" women, said
Vera Brown, the group's newly-elected president.
Brown insisted her "coup" mostly was spurred by differing
views about feminism.
The women, who called themselves the Pink Panthers, suc-
ceeded Tuesday at Campus NOW's annual election.
"Dressed in a sea of pink, we walked together into the elec-
tions on Tuesday evening and changed.the future of Campus
NOW by electing new officers," Brown said in a press release.
"We could no longer act under a type of feminism that believes
that reproductive rights are the only battles that women face."
Mangan refused comment for this article.
The group's new second-in-command echoed Brown's views.
"We just wanted new leadership," Vice President-elect

SPECIAL REPORT
For some, bill sparks Johns Committee deja vu
By MEGAN SEERY
Alligator Staff Writer
mseery@alligator.org
Following the introduction into the
Florida Legislature of a controversial bill
aimed at eliminating a perceived liberal bias
in universities, longtime UF faculty members
say Florida is heading down the same road it
traveled 50 years ago when gay students
and faculty were investigated because of
their sexual orientation.
"I see elements of the Johns Committee
all over again," UF law professor Fletcher
Baldwin said of the 1956 committee named
for former acting Gov. Charley Johns. "People
are advised to contact the government if pro-
fessors or others are too radical," he said of
the committee and proposed legislation.
Baldwin, who joined UF's faculty in 1962,
said the committee used the idea of academic
protection to react against liberalism an at-
tribute he also sees in the recently proposed
"Academic Freedom Bill of Rights."
"The Johns Committee ended up
radicalizing a lot of people at UF," he said.
"Academic freedom became an issue because
they were stopping free speech and going
after homosexuals."
The Academic Freedom Bill of Rights
states that students cannot be punished if
they disagree with their professors' ideology,
and it paves legal ground for students to sue
professors who ridicule or
disrespect their ideas.
State Rep. Dennis
Baxley, R-Ocala, who
sponsored the bill, says
UF faculty just prove his
point by trying to charac-
terize him as a "right-wing
wacko."
Baxley. "Relating me -to the
Johns Committee is absurd," Baxley said.'
"Criticisms from these college intellectu-
als indicate exactly what I'm talking about
- that if you don't have the right political
orientation, they'll crush you."
And while academia may accuse Baxley of
limiting free speech, he said he's just trying to
encourage it on a more-level playing field.
"These professors operate on an 'Animal
Farm' principle," said Baxley, referring to the
1946 George Orwell novel that lampooned
corruption in Communism. "They're saying,
'We are all equal, but-some are more equal
than others.'"
But Baldwin is not alone in his Johns
Committee comparison.
Phyllis Meek, a former UF associate dean
of students who joined the staff in 1966, said
Baxley's bill is a scare tactic meant to silence
outspoken professors.
"This is reminiscent of the McCarthy era,
when you do away with free speech," she
said. "There is a climate of fear after Sept. 11
that prevents people from coming out and
saying how ridiculous this is."
Meek said UF was the primary focus of
the Johns Committee campaign because of its
perceived liberalism.
UF graduate Art Copleston, 72, remem-
bers being terrified of the committee.
"They had all the power to destroy your
life, and they knew that," said Copleston,
who was secretly gay at the time. "We lived
a secret life that would be enough to destroy
your- career or anything else you had going
for you."
Copleston said one of his favorite pro-
fessors left UF feeling committee pressure;
conversely, he was surprised that other in-
structors he knew didn't speak out against
the investigations.
"Professors never seemed to challenge the.
police when they stomped into the classroom
to interrogate us," he said. "They were silent
because they were afraid."
While some UF students and faculty chose
to leave campus, others were asked to leave
or told to seek psychiatric help, Meek said.
Fletcher said he was "appalled" when he
found out police officers were taking profes-
sors out of their classrooms in order to ques-
tion their allegiance to the United States.
"After 9/11, the climate in this coun-
try is ripe for new Johns Committees and
McCarthyism," he said.
And although Meek said she was disap-
pointed that more legislators haven't spoken
out against Baxley's measure, she said it al-
ways has been difficult for UF officials to take
a stand against the Legislature.
"(Former UF President John Wayne)
Reitz was very cooperative with the Johns
Committee," she said. "The idea was that,
'We'll just withhold funding from the univer-
sity if you don't cooperate.'"
Pride members hold day of silence to spotlight plight
Tricla Coyne. Alligator Sraff
Pride Awareness Month Assistant Director Nathan Pearman and members Andrea Garcia and Gaby Madriz
lament how the Breaking the Silence Rally, scheduled to take place Wednesday, barely came off.
* HOWEVER, ONLY FIVE
MEMBERS OF THE GROUP
ACTUALLY TOOK PART.
By ANDREA VEST
Alligator Contributing Writer
The Pride Student Union
recognized a day of silence on
Wednesday to promote the life-
style and cultural blends preva-
lent on college campuses today.
As part of Pride Awareness
Month, a group of five Pride
Student Union members rallied
on the Reitz Union North Lawn
to further the group's ultimate
mission.
The student-led day of. ac-
tion consisted of lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgender, queer/
questioning and allied members
of society who took a day-long
vow of silence to protest discrim-
ination and harassment.
"It symbolizes gay students
who are silenced because of anti-
homosexuality sentiment," mem-
ber Andrea Garcia said.
At 3 p.m., Pride Student Union
members and their allies broke
their vow of silence for an hour.
TGarcia shared her story about
maintaining silence during her
morning classes Wednesday.
Garcia said she overheard a
group of guys next to her telling
a story about a party they were at
the night before.
They playfully called each
other faggots and
On described the party
CampulS as being gay, she
said.
"People need to be educated
because they don't intend- to say
hurtful comments, but they do it
unintentionally," Garcia said.
UF junior Ben Yonker said al-
though he is not gay, he respects
those who are.
"I think that it is important
for people to be able to express
their individualism," Yonker
said. "It's their lives and they
shouldn't be criticized for their
choices."
Paradigm apartment allegedly burgled
* RENTERS ACCUSE PARADIGM OF LEAVING Gonzales said. Then he noticed a jar of change was missing.
THEIR DOOR UNLOCKED OVER SPRING BREAK. Once Gonzales returned, the two promptly filed an incident
report with the Gainesville Police Department.
By ELIZABETH PRANN
Alligator Writer
eprann@alligator.org
A Paradigm Properties renter claims his apartment was bur-
gled of almost $4,000 in property after employees of the complex,
left it unlocked during a series of showings over Spring Break.
UF sophomore Arthur Gonzales lives at 1536 NW Third
Ave. with a roommate, Mike Irizarry.
Gonzales said they entered into an agreement with .
Paradigm, allowing the company to show their apartment to
potential leasers for a reduction in their rent.
He said Irizarry received two messages informing the pair
that their apartment would be shown over the-break week.
Irizarry, the first to return after the break, was suspicious
when he" returned to- a fully lit and'unlocked apartment,r
"[Paradigm employees] were the last people in
our apartment; there is no forced entry."
Arthur Gonzales
UF sophomore
GPD Lt. Brian Helmerson said the report, filed by Gonzales
and Irizarry, listed a black leather jacket, a high-school class
ring, a pair of Sean John blue jeans, a gold chain and pendant,
and other belongings worth a total of $3,932.
Gonzales said the alleged thief stole items which would
have gone unnoticed until used, like his black leather jacket:
He also said he found it odd that more expefisive items,
such as his laptop, weren't taken.
He said no one has a key except he, Irizarry and Paradigm.
"[Pairdirgm employees] Were the ladsf people in our-apart-
over Spring Break
ment; there is no forced entry," he said. Gonzales added that-
the representatives from Paradigm he has been in contact with
have been condescending.
"They were not working with us at all," he said.
However, Paradigm Director of Operations Eric Blevins
said his company is sympathetic.-
"We want to help them," he said "We want to do an inves-
tigation."
However, Blevins said there is nothing Paradigm can do
without evidence, such as receipts for the missing items.
"The value was fairly high," he said; "We need some sort of
information to back that up and some phone records."
Blevins said the situation is being looked into by Paradigm
and that they are waiting on additional information from
Gonzales and Irizarry.
Gonzales said there were certain items stolen for which he
cannot get verification, such as a 30-year-old, $3,000 gold neck-
lace from his father.
"I had it in my drawer and I don't have time to get insur-
arice on-it;" Gonzales-said. "I'm a college student." .. .

Tau Kappa Epsilon gets new Fraternity Row address
By BRITTANY FERGUSON
Alligator Contributing Writer
Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity
members have found a new home.
The chapter will move to 7
Fraternity Row, the address of the
former Phi Gamma Delta house.
"It's so indescribable," said fra-
ternity member Paul Meyer. "I just
can't wait to move in."
This will be the first time Tau
Kappa Epsilon will have a house on
Fraternity Row.
Fraternity members held a party
in March at which they worked on
landscaping and took down the old
fraternity's letters.
The new letters were unveiled
Saturday at a barbecue with alumni
and members from other chapters.
Members will move in Aug. 1.
Meyer said he hopes this will give
them more time to fix up the house.
"We've had some interior- deco-
rators scope out the place," he said.
"It's so indescribable. I just
can't wait to move in."
Paul Meyer
fraternity member
Meyer, who now lives in Simpson
Hall, will be one of the 30 members
to live in the new house, which has
10 single and 10 double robnms.
Tau Kappa Epsilon President
Ariel Ruiz said being in the center of
the row will give them more promi-
nence in the Greek community.
"This will help us be more recog-
nized and give us more of a Greek
unity," Ruiz said.
The house swap between Phi
Gamma Delta and Tau Kappa
Epsilon went smoothly, Ruiz said.
"They knew that we were home-
less," he said. "So, we contacted
them, and we all got together to
come up with an agreeable lease."
Phi Gamma Delta was suspend-
ed and ordered to leave their house
in October 2004. Three members
who are no longer associated with
the fraternity were accused of van-
dalizing the Sigma Chi Fraternity
house and causing approximately
$3,000 in damages.
Tau Kappa Epsilon historic of-
ficer Dustin Rollins said a house
should help increase membership.
"It will just be fun," Rollins said.
"We can chill, study and take a nap
before classes."
High schoolers to explore biotechnology at SFCC event
* THE COLLEGE OFFERS A TWO-
YEAR PROGRAM IN THE SUBJECT.
By SKYLER SMITH
Alligator Writer
mgimignani@alligator.org
Area high school students will explore the
frontiers of science today during SFCC's first-
ever Biotechnology Day.
UF'sSidMartinBiotechnologyDevelopment
Incubator in Alachua will host 150 high school-
ers for a tour of the facility and educate them
about the biotechnology business.
SFCC's outreach effort is aimed to inform
the students, who were recommended by their
respective high school guidance counselors,
about the two-year program SFCC offers to
become a biotechnician.
Twenty-five students are now enrolled in
the program, the first of its kind in Florida,
said Scott Fortner, an SFCC health sciences
adviser and coordinator of the event.
"We want to educate these kids that there
are boundless opportunities right in their
backyard," Fortner said.
The stu-
Santa Fe dents will tour
Community College the incubator,
which serves as
a springboard for biotechnology companies,
and learn about jobs in the industry, incubator
manager Patti Breedlove said.
They will' then go next door to UF's
Center of Excellence for Regenerative Health
Biotechnology to watch the center's scientists
work with protein, DNA and cell cultures.
It also serves as a venue to provide a job
market for the biotechnology industry, direc-
tor Richard Snyder said.
."If we're going to try and grow this industry
locally, we need a trained workforce," he said.
He added that the national annual growth
in such jobs is as high as 17 percent.
Representatives from SFCC, UF's Center of
Excellence and the incubator all said they hope
this will become an annual event.

Editorial
Bill blunder
Power separation would
be clear, but not correct
Let's be honest here: If you're a UF student, you prob-
ably didn't read the front-page story in the Alligator
yesterday about the House proposal that would define
the separation of powers among the bodies that govern state
universities.
Who cares, right?
What's a Board of Governors, anyway?
You don't have to ask those questions, because we know
you don't want to hear the answers.
If you would have read closer, however, you would have
seen that this bill poses some dangerous possibilities for the
future of our university system.
Here's a quick multiple-choice quiz about who you think
should have certain powers over universities.
These are your possible answers: a.) the Florida Legislature;
b.) the Board of Governors; or c.) the universities themselves.
1.) Who should choose the objectives of each university
and the strategies they use to reach them?
2.) Who should approve degree programs?
3.) Who should set enrollment levels?
4.) Who should be responsible for negotiating faculty?
Hopefully, you chose straight C's: The universities should
control these basic functions of their operation.
This, unfortunately, would not be the case under the pro-
posed bill. The proposal would give all of these powers to the
Board of Governors.
Thus, a governing body with no ties to the university would
decide whether or not its degree programs were good enough.
The board would take it upon itself to decide the amount of
students that the university effectively can handle. It even
would decide if the most fundamental goals of the university
were correct regardless of how the university feels.
But don't take this to mean that the university should be
unaccountable. University officials are not elected, and thus
should not be the absolute end of the road for these decisions.
There is a very thin line, however, between state bodies
ensuring that universities don't act incorrectly and forcing
them to conform to a strict plan that has not been created by
educators.
However, the bill did not get everything wrong.
Leaving in-state tuition choices to the Legislature probably
isn't the best option, but giving the choice to universities defi-
nitely isn't.
If universities control tuition, they will hike the rates sky-
ward. UF administrators make no effort to hide the fact that
they'd like to as much as double UF's in-state tuition.
They don't seem to realize that UF's greatest asset is its
unbeatable value for Florida residents.
Making UF the best university it possibly can be is a noble
goal, but keeping UF as a great educational opportunity at a
price everyone can afford infinitely is more important.
This is where the Board of Governors comes in.
Tuition rates can't be trusted solely to the Legislature,
because they want to keep rates low so their Bright Futures
expenditures are low. Tuition rates can't be trusted solely to
the universities, because they want all the money they can get
without scaring away too many students.
The board has neither of these concerns. They are impartial
and could make the most unbiased choice of rates after consid-
ering the arguments of both sides.
Since its creation, the exact standing of the board in terms
of authority over university issues has been unclear. Well, here
is an opportunity to set the precedent: The board should be a
mediator between the Legislature and the universities, dealing
with the issues in which both sides have conflicts of interest.

Guest column
Christmas trees cost big in evaluations
used to be a big believer in end-of-semester evaluations
well, whenever they were in my favor, of course. I'd
bask in the glow of above-average ratings and be inspired
to do it all again. But lately, I've become a bit jaded.
As professors, we're required to administer evaluations
toward the end of every course. I realize that not all students
view this exercise seriously. From my son, a junior on cam-
pus, I've learned how some of his classmates "Christmas
tree".their responses they randomly bubble-in the circles
on scanner forms to resemble Christmas ornaments on a tree.
These students don't read the questions or care if answers
reflect high or low scores.
Apparently, they missed the paragraph that explains how
responses "will be used by the University of Florida in mak-
ing promotion, tenure and salary-decisions."
The numbers do matter. Five is good, one is bad and the
average scores of each section we teach become part of our
permanent record of teaching effectiveness at UF. Question
No.10 plays a heavy role: Overall rating of the instructor. It's
in all capitals.
Because professors know the numbers matter, I've seen
that procedures are sometimes modified by others on a quest
for higher scores.
From my son's own experiences and observations in
Weimer Hall, here are several indiscretions: a professor once
had pizzas delivered for the final class meeting, the same day
evaluations were given; an instructor got teary-eyed and told
his students how much they'd grown together that semester,
and then distributed the forms before leaving the room (in-
structors are not to begin the class, but must send in a proxy
to read instructions and gather material); and some instruc-
tors waited until the end of class, hoping the momentum of a
particularly strong session would provide higher scores.
John Freeman I guess these tales of "Christmas
Speaking Out treeing" and inappropriate adminis-
tration of the evaluations would not
matter so much if faculty members were not constantly
pitted against one another in the race to get ahead. Bonuses,
teaching awards and promotions all require a recapitulation
of student evaluations. How valid are they really? Even mak-
ing comparisons with scores is an unscientific venture.
In my own college, awards have gone to those who sel-
dom teach (or even hold walk-in office hours). A professor
might be assigned only one course during an entire academic
year. Well, that should be a superb class! How do you com-
pare those scores with the instructor spread thin with mul-
tiple lab sections in Fall and Spring? How can you compare
a teacher who lectures and gives two multiple-choice exams
to the instructor who grades 16 weekly lab assignments and
provides written, critical comments?
Despite the fallacy of student evaluations, I don't expect
them to vanish or.change overnight. I'll continue to analyze
mine carefully and adjust classes to provide an optimal
learning experience. With 13 years of forms to look over, I
still cherish one that featured the outline of a hand giving me
"the finger" on the comment side.
But today, I can't place as much importance on the raw
scores. I know some responses have been "Christmas treed"
in. I know some colleagues stack the deck when administer-
ing evaluations. Since I can't control outside influences, I try
to ignore them and seek inspiration from the "thank-you"
notes at graduation, the invitations to students' weddings
and photographs they email me of new babies. To some
faculty members, these symbols of gratitude are the student
evaluations that matter the most.

Letters to the Editor
Dry campus might not be a crazy rumor
Editor: With your coverage of the removal
of "Drunk Bitch Friday" from the WRUF
airwaves over the last few days, it seems the
Alligator is showing concern for the possibly
unfair and inconsistent policies of President
Machen regarding UF's "alcohol problem."
Since the review of UF's alcohol policies
began, you have had coverage of that and the
issue that the administration believes there is a
significant problem with drinking on campus.
I wonder if the administration is thinking of
the fairest way to keep students safe or (un-
like your previous opinion) if the Student
Government campaign issue of preventing a
dry campus is starting to gain legitimacy.

Agendas ignored socially relevant show
Editor: UF President Bernie Machen needs
to get a grip on his power trip. In his aim to
curb alcohol abuse, Bernie, along with UF's
Board of Trustees, cancelled the entertaining
and socially informative show, "Drunk Bitch
Friday."
These actions clearly violate our First-
Amendment right to free speech, which per-
mits the distribution of knowledge to'aid in
people's searchfor truth.
This show holds social substance that
informs people of the effects of alcohol and
whether they, too, want to be that "drunk
bitch." Of course, the show is silly and not all
in good taste, but that shouldn't discourage us
from protesting censorship.
Because-- Machen's personal values and
political agenda do not mesh with Friday's
morning show, he has censored what he
deems inappropriate.
Machen seems to be overstepping his
boundaries as president when he imposes
his moral judgments that overlook our fun-
damental rights. His search for "indecency"
violations may end in- vain because of the
aforementioned social value- of the show as
well as its lack of sexually explicit material
and four-letter words.
In a society where alcohol is nationally ac-
ceptable as well as an issue of public concern,
this show resembles a segment of social com-
mentary that should be available to the public
ear.

All graduates do have a combined event
Editor. I was a little disheartened by
Tuesday's cover of the Alligator because of
the article "Graduates miss out," which states,
" UF will have no single event to celebrate the
graduation of the class of 2005, after plans to
bring a keynote speaker fell through."
I hope you just overlooked Senior Grad

on it. Bash is an event held by the UF Alumni

Group studies alcohol culture
* THE COMMITTEE IS ONE OF THREE INVES-
TIGATING STUDENT ALCOHOL ABUSE.
By EMILY YEHLE
Alligator Writer
eyehle@alligator.org
Although UF President Bernie Machen is spearhead-
ing an effort to solve the "serious problem" of students'
drinking habits, a committee studying local alcohol cul-
ture discussed on Wednesday the need for students to
realize most of their peers do not drink excessively.
While a UF survey showed that 50 percent of stu-
dents binge and that 73 percent of students under 21
drink, most students are responsible about alcohol use,
said Jess Johnson, a Student Affairs executive assistant.
"There was a consensus that the student body prob-
ably perceives that drinking is more prevalent than it is,"
he said of the Wednesday meeting.
I The survey defined "binge drinking" as taking five
or more servings of alcohol in a row.
Machen brought the issue to the forefront this year
by prohibiting alcohol sponsorship at events held in the
Stephen C. O'Connell Center, suspending a radio seg-
ment and pledging to take alcohol advertisements off
UF-owned radio and television programming.
The culture committee also is a product of recent con-
cem among administrators about student drinking.
It is one of three groups created at a meeting of UF
and Gainesville officials in.February; the other two focus
on alcohol access and enforcement.
Eventually, all three will make recommendations as
to what is needed to change an environment that seems
to encourage students to drink, said
Student Activities Director Lohse
Beeland, who also is co-chairman of
the culture committee.
Beeland said she was unsure of
,, when the committees' goals would
be met. The committee dealing with
access and promotion will have its
Machen second meeting today in Reitz Union
Room 272 from 3 to 5 p.m.
"What we owe the student body is to create an at-
mosphere where they don't feel pressured to drink,"
Johnson said.
Since it was the culture committee's first meeting, no
decisions were made, Beeland said.
However, members began to identify what the alco-
hol culture is now and what it should be.
As for Machen's recent moves, Beeland said the com-
mittee didn't talk about them.
But pulling ads from UF's sports programming was
recommended by a.Student Affairs alcohol committee to
the University Athletic Association a year ago, she said.
The culture committee is well on its way to finding
other ways to change the drinking culture, Beeland said.
"I thought it was extremely productive. I was really
impressed with a lot of the comments students had."
Former star gets bashed
CANSIECO, from page 1
Another pointed out that, in the book, Canseco said he ran a
3.9-second 40-yard dash, which Canseco described as a typo.
Another facetiously asked Canseco where in his book he
wrote about beating his wife and about his jail time.
"If you'd like to rephrase that question and ask it prop-
erly, I'd be willing to answer," Canseco said. His inquisitor just
walked away.
One asked for an autograph, which Canseco signed for him.
One asked for advice on a fantasy baseball trade. One asked
about his relationship with Madonna.
Canseco was more serious during the speech and pre-speech
press conference, though. When asked what effect "Juiced"
will have in the future of steroids and sports, he said he didn't
know, but he contended that people actually wouldn't be able
to know the real Jose Canseco just by reading .the book.
"I don't think anyone's even come close to figuring me out
yet. Period," he said. "Maybe I do it on purpose, maybe I don't.
We have 15 or 20 individuals here. Everyone's probably got a
different opinion of me. If they're asked on an essay what you
think Jose Canseco really is down deep, I guarantee not one of
you would get it right. Not even close."
Although Canseco said he used steroids for years, he
doesn't necessarily condone it now.
"The bottom line is, right now, just don't do it," he said.

Future uncertain for UF guards; both may opt out of draft before June
DRAFT, from page 1
think he really knows," Donovan said. "And
to me, the best way to find out is to put your
name out there and see what kind of feedback
you get."
Walsh explained his situation in a released
statement.
"I'm in a unique situation where I feel I
have the opportunity to explore this further
and collect more information," Walsh said. "I
truly love the University of Florida, but I feel
I owe it to myself to see where I am right now
because it's my dream to be able to play pro-
fessionally one day".
While Walsh is likely just measuring his
stock, Roberson has given his coach no such
promise.
"Anthony has not told me that if he's not
a first-round draft pick, he's coming back,"
Donovan said. "So I think he's probably going
to try to look at some stuff."
Donovan said that though it's still early to
peg Roberson's draft position, the point guard
seems to be "on the radar" based on conversa-
tions the coach has had with NBA officials.
Donovan believes that the draft-status.
of Roberson, who averaged a Southeastern
Conference-best 20.8 points per game in
league play, and Walsh, the SEC Tournament
MVP, will depend on personal workouts with
NBA scouts.
The scouts may even travel to Gainesville
and use UF's facilities for such evaluations,
Donovan said, to lessen the financial impact
of travel expenses.
"If they don't perform
well, and they get feedback
that they didn't do well,"
Donovan said, "I think both
guys will probably come
back."
Roberson's and Walsh's
Decision to test the NBA
Roberson waters came. amid reports
thai prep star Walter Hodge
was going to officially sign with the Gators
on Wednesday. But as of late Wednesday, the
Florida Air Academy guard- had yet to offi-
cially sign with UE
Though Donovan could not comment on
Hodge due to NCAA regulations, he said he's
comfortable with his backcourt options for
next season. Donovan said guards Taurean
Green and Lee Humphrey, combined with
signees Derwin Kitchen and David Huertas,
should be able to handle the duties.
If Hodge signs with the Gators, UF will
reach its 13-scholarship limit. But if either
Roberson or Walsh enters the draft, the Gators
would receive an additional scholarship.
."If we have another scholarship available,
would we look at somebody? Yeah," Donovan
said. "But I'm not going to just go out there
and take somebody. I'd rather hold on to it and
use it after I've been able to evaluate."
Campus NOW members accuse former leader Mangan of narrow agenda
NOW, from page 1
Michelle Paggi said. "We would try to critique her, and she
would act like nothing ever happened. The reason we elected
all these people is because we wanted to do away with the
hierarchy. It was just all the intimidation and pressure on our
leadership's part."
Paggi said Mangan was only interested in acting on her
own personal feminist agenda regarding reproductive rights.
Paggi said she believes the group's focus should be broader.
"It was very, very, very personal," she said. "That's a very
important thing to fight for; however, we need to diversify our
actions. We haven't done anything for child care."
Paggi said Mangan would pressure her and other members
into coming to group events.
"I've been made to feel guilty because of my part-time job
and because I'm a student," Paggi said.
Mangan, who also is a UF student, has worked at both the
Civic Media Center and the Iguana.
Membership Director-elect Havre De Hill said she was "se-
lectively omitted" from receiving e-mails from the organization
despite being an official member under Mangan's reign.
As a result of conflicts, about five members started meeting
at a hotel to:speak about their distaste for the path the group
was headed down. Around that time, the dissatisfied members
began calling themselves the Pink Panthers, partly because
Mangan believes that the color is "oppressive," members said.
"It was very hard to speak out against these
people. They were very controlling and au-
thoritative. Now that we have a change in the
group, we feel that we will be able to work with
them. We want to do different actions."
Michelle Paggi
Campus 'NOW vice president-elect
Despite the feuding, Brown insisted she won the election not
only because of Mangan's leadership techniques but also be-
cause of her "restrictive" policies and dated views of feminism.
"It was an entire leadership style," Brown said, but added,
"It was.bigger than just our president."
Brown said Mangan's insistence on voicing opinions solely
about contraception alienated minority women and the gay
and transgender community. She said some members were
"silenced" by Mangan and told to accept her views.
Paggi added that Mangan was involved in Gainesville Area
NOW and Gainesville Women's Liberation, which she said
tried to control the student group through Mangan.
Mangan "would forward the e-mails to them," she said.
"They would all be way too involved with our student group.
It was ridiculous. They weren't part of Campus NOW."
Paggi said talking to Gainesville Area NOW and Gainesville
Women's Liberation was difficult.
S"It was very hard to speak out against these people," she
said. "They were very controlling and authoritative. Now that
we have a change in the group, we feel that we will be able to
work with them. We want to do different actions."
"Elections happen in every campus organization," said
Candi Churchill, a member of both Gainesville Area NOW and
Gainesville Women's Liberation. "This is an example of The
Alligator trying to exploit this issue. Kelly Mangan is a leader
in a national movement to win the moring-after pill over the
counter and will continue to do great work."
Paggi said that although new members were voted into of-
fice, the group will share duties "so different people can get a
chance to lead the meeting."
Brown summed it up in the release.
"It was time for Campus NOW to make anew start by includ-
ing all women and being active towards everyone's issues."
She said she still invites Mangan to be a member.

Whether a necessity or a crutch, Adderall use grows
By ERICA REZNICK
Alligator Contributing Writer
UF student Danielle Kirsner is no stranger
to cramming for final exams.
Student This year, the sophomore has
Life given up coffee and No-Doz
for a prescription drug illegally
obtained and designed for attention deficit
problems.
The drug is. Adderall, and this phar-
maceutical fix is finding a home on UF's
campus among students who say the drug
increases their concentration and intellectual
endurance.
"I need it before tests so I can concentrate
better," Kirsner said. "It helps me pay atten-
tion to what I'm doing and helps me focus in
on my material."
Some students now depend on Adderall
for their study regimen.
"I didn't hear of Adderall until I came to
college," Kirsner said. "Now that I've tried
it, I don't know how I ever survived without
it."
At $7 a pill, students can buy the medica-
tion from on-campus and off-campus deal-
ers.
"I didn't hear of Adderall until I
came to college. Now that I've
tried it, I don't know how I ever
survived without it."
Danlelle Kirsner
UF student
"It is really easy to get it," Kirsner said.
"People with prescriptions who want
to make some money just sell it to their
friends."
.Under pressure to succeed, some stu-
dents might be more concerned about
getting Adderall than the harm it might
cause them.
"Adderall is an amphetamine and will
do everything that a stimulant does," Dr.
Richard Levine said. "It will suppress
your appetite, make you dizzy, raise blood
pressure and can cause heart attacks and
strokes."
Students abusing the drug put them-
selves at risk for severe health problems in
the future, Levine said.
Adderall is -used to treat people with
Adult Attention Deficit Disorder who cannot
concentrate and jump from topic to topic,
Levine said.
"By using something that can highly
stimulate them in small doses, it can coordi-
nate that higher-level activity," Levine said.
Although Adderall niay be overused on
campus, there are students who need the
medication to curb the symptoms of ADD.
"I was diagnosed with ADD this past
summer," UF sophomore Megan Roth said.
"I don't know how I survived my freshman
year of college without Adderall."
Roth, along with other students who suf-
fer from ADD, had difficulties concentrating
on a specific subject and would constantly
lose her train of thought.
"Studying was always a frustrating task
for me," Roth said. "Instead of reading
the material, I would start thinking about
random things, like whether or not people
would go out.that night."
Roth said she does not feel comfortable
supplying her friends with Adderall.
"I don't really like taking it because it
makes me depressed, but I also don't like the
thought of giving it out to everyone else,"
Roth said.
"I always get offers from people who
want to buy from me, but I just don't feel
right doing it."
The Adderall craze, which is not new, is
spreading through campuses nationwide.
"I think the trend is terrible and very dan-
gerous," Levine said. "Someone is bound to
get hurt."

This is the true story of one college picked to find cast
members for the latest season of "The Real World."
Headed into its 17th season, casting directors from the
MTV program will be in Gainesville on April 23 to recruit
potential stars.
"The Real World" is a reality television show that puts
seven strangers into a home as roommates, document-
ing their interactions with each other over a five-month
period.
The casting call will take place at Gator City Grill and
Punishment levied
in fraternity foul-up
* FRATERNITY RECEIVED
SOCIAL PROBATION.
By KYLIE CRAIG

kcraig@alligator.org
Alpha Epsilon
Fraternity was
sentenced to
two semes-
ters of social
probation at
S.'.' a sanction-
Williams ing hearing
Wednesday,
after being convicted on Student
Judicial Affairs charges of holding
an unregistered party last month.
The fraternity accepted guilt
for the alleged wrongdoings,
leading to the hearing. ;
Along with social probation,
the organization was banned
from having alcohol in its chapter
house and also must develop a
new risk-management program.
At the hearing, the fraternity
also was ordered to elect a new
risk-management officer, who
will work with the Dean of
Students' Office through the next
academic year.
Dell Dailey, who will be presi-
dent of Sigma Alpha Epsilon
during its probation year, said
he agrees with the punishment
given by Student Judicial Affairs.
"It's a rude awakening to
the Greek system," Dailey said.
"With the university policy, fra-
ternities must change their ways,
or we will no longer be here."
The exiting Sigma Alpha
Epsilon president, Travis Santos,
also was pleased with the ver-
dict.
"Well, the judicial process has
prevailed," he said.
The judicial board gave the
fraternity a deadline of Sept. 1 for
the risk management policy.
If the fraternity fails to
comply, it will be put on social
suspension, which prohibits its
members from taking part in
homecoming events or hosting
any type of social activities with
other Greek organizations.
Cyrus Williams, dean of
Judicial Affairs, said each case in
which fraternities are sanctioned
is handled differently.
"The board doesn't work on
precedence and things like that,"
Williams said. "They try and
take each case in its own merit."
Sports Bar, located at 1728 W University Ave., from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m., and is open to anyone ages 18 to 24.
Alissa Haight, a casting director for the program, said
the program seeks out a wide variety of cast members.
"We look for people who are real, who are open, who
are honest and who have big personalities," Haight said.
"Aside from that, we look for all walks of life."
"The Real World" first aired before the explosion in
the popularity of reality programming, which Haight said
works to the show's advantage.
"It's a really positive show, and it allows people an
opportunity to. learn about people who are different from
them," she said. "It's about people living an experience
they would otherwise never get to live."
The program, produced by Bunim/Murray
Productions, has proven to have staying power on televi-
sion, reigning as the longest-running show on MTV.
Despite the ever-growing pool of reality TV star alum-
ni, Haight said the popularity of both "The Real World"
and other reality programs in general has not adversely
affected its casting methods.
"'The Real World' is a popular show, so we get a lot
of candidates every season," she said. "I would say for
this show it's probably made it easier (to find cast mem-
bers.)"
For people interested in trying out for the show,
Haight's advice is simple: Be yourself.
"That's all we're looking for," she said. "For people to
show up, be themselves and have a good time. The open-
call process is very social."

Jury makes robbery conviction
Convict blames act on drugs
By MEGAN V. WINSLOW
Alligator Writer
mwinslow@alligator.org
It took a jury less than 30 minutes
Wednesday to find a Gainesville man
guilty of bank robbery.
After a mere day-long trial,
Alachua County Judge Mary Day
Coker sentenced Douglas Griggs to
15 years in prison.
But just before she did so, Coker
questioned Griggs' choice of venue.
"I'm just curious why did you
pick the bank your brother used, the
one he cashed your paychecks at?"
she said.
"I was on so many drugs I was re-
ally in a dream world," Griggs said.
On the morning of Oct. 12, Griggs,
dressed in a green flannel shirt and a
dark Caterpillar cap, walked into the
Wachovia Bank at 3838 NW 13th St.
and slid a note across the counter.
"The note said, 'Bank Robbery
Have Gun 100.00, 50.00, 20.00 put
in bag. Don't [expletive] with me,'"
witness Marcia Miller said.
After Miller placed $7,070 into the
man's black Jansport backpack, he ex-
ited the bank and went to the Sunshine
Inn down the street to call a cab.
Griggs told the taxi driver, Edwin
Ricci, to take him a few blocks north.
Just after Ricci pulled onto
Northwest 13th Street, a Gainesville
Police officer on the lookout for the
robber a "scruffy white male" -
drove up beside Ricci and motioned
for him to pull over.
.'.. When Griggs fled,
Local the officer told the man
SChu-s to stop so he might
speak with him.
"He looked me
straight in the eye and said 'I don't
think so,' and walked away, back-
ward," officer John Gates said.
Then Griggs ran.
Twenty minutes after the robbery,
Griggs was arrested. His front pocket
contained $900 in cash and a robbery
note was found in his wallet.
Griggs also wore a gray T-shirt
with "Air Force Football" on it, from
which "OR" is visible peeking out
from the top of the robber's shirt in
stills taken from bank cameras.
But this does not mean Griggs
committed the crime, defense attor-
ney Curtis Elmore said.
"Use your common sense this is
the town with the University of Florida
in it, and there are tons of T-shirts with
the letters "OR" on them," he said..
And though Elmore justified his
.client's decision to run by saying
Griggs thought he was being pursued
for a previous trespassing charge,
prosecuting attorney Geoffrey Fleck
said that assumption is unreasonable.
"No, Mr. Griggs fled because he
had just stolen $7,000 from a bank,"
Fleck said.
The flannel shirt and a portion of
the money were recovered from the
backseat of Ricci's cab.
According to reports, Griggs told
police he robbed the bank in order to
pay a drug debt.
Before Coker announced his
sentence, Griggs apologized and ex-
pressed a need for drug treatment.
I've been sorry about it for the
last six months I've been in jail," he
said. "I'm sorry for the victim and I'm
sorry for the bank."

Forum panel examines victims' rights
By LINDSAY TAULBEE
Alligator Writer
Itaulbee@alligator.org
Speaking to a mostly female audience
Wednesday, three panelists raised questions
and encouraged students to form their own
opinions on issues that included women's
rights, victims' rights and human rights.
Vox: Voices for Planned Parenthood
sponsored the panel discussion, entitled
"Speak Up, Speak Out!" in the Reitz Union
Rion Ballroom.
Tanja van der Veen, a victim advocate
with the University Police Department's
Office of Victim Services, spoke about
sexual assault and victims' rights to the
group of about 25.
"A lot of times, people aren't really
aware that this is reality for a lot of people,"
she said.
She cited statistics from several sources,
noting that exact figures are hard to come by.
Some victims don't think their experi-
ences fit the definition of sexual assault,
and others simply choose not to report the
crime, she said.
"That number 'four' you might see on
the UPD Web site is virtually meaningless,"
van der Veen said of crime statistics.
One in four women and one in six men,
for example, will be victims of sexual abuse
during their lifetimes.
Also, when college women are victim-
ized, 90 percent of the time it's by someone
they know, and 90 percent of the time it oc-
curs in a residence, she said.
This debunks the stereotype of sexual
assault coming from a stranger in a dark
alley or parking garage, she said.
"It's happening in places where people
live, where people feel safe, where people
feel comfortable," she said.
Van der Veen also spoke about alcohol
and its role in sexual assault.
Sarah Kovner, a visiting UF assistant.
history professor, spoke about human traf-
ficking in Japan and issues that surround it,
including U.S. pressure on Japan to enact
laws against it.
The Japanese government is attempting
to crack down on the practice so the United
States and other countries will view it in a
better light, she said.
However, attempts by the Japanese
government to create stricter laws against
human trafficking have met with public
outcry from media, lawmakers, business
people and the public.
"A lot of people are making a lot of
money out of this," she said.
She posed several questions to the audi-
ence for personal consideration, including
whether or not the United States has the
right to intervene.
Trysh Travis, a professor in the depart-
ment of women's studies, spoke of a recent
panel she attended that addressed women
in politics and how it made her question the
role of feminism in younger generations.
Though women outnumbered their
male counterparts 2-to-1, the men asked
twice as many questions. When questions
were addressed to the female panelists, the
male panelists frequently would chime in,
she said.
"The audience was kind of allowing
the older white men to run the show," she
said.
During the question-and-answer ses-
sion, one student observed that women
often are less assertive.
Travis urged students to consider conse-
quences women face for speaking up.
"You might be burned as a witch, as
many women have been. You might be
called a femi-Nazi, as I have been."

PLAYLIST
Atlantic to serve Spam
By COLIN MCCANDLESS
Avenue Writer
The Atlantic serves up the delicious
canned beat sensations of Miami's DJ
Le Spam and the Spam Allstars, back
by popular demand on Friday, April 22.
Umm, you like Spam.
DJ Le Spam has planted the seeds of
a harmonic crop and cultivated a sultry
musical hybrid that fuses electronic ele-
ments and turntables with Latin, funk
and hip-hop. The band's melodies il-
lustrate the myriad influences of salsa,
reggae, African dance, jazz and gospel
music that imbue their tracks and inspire
their jams. The combination of genres
the group has harvested yields an eclec-
tic sound appealing to divergent tastes.
In order to sow such diverse grooves,
the members of the Spam Allstars in-
corporate a wide variety of instruments
into their songs. Their current line-up
is comprised of seven people: DJ Le
Spam (Andrew Yeomanson) who spins
turntables and samplers, Tomas Diaz on
timbales, AJ Hill and Steve Welsh work
the saxophones, John Speck plays trom-
bone, Mercedes Abal handles flute and
Adam Zimmon strums guitar. The group
merges these different elements together
flawlessly, producing aesthetic musical
pieces receiving critical acclaim from re-
views in Rolling Stone, Newsweek and
the Washington Post.
The band has appeared on "Good
Morning America," "CBS This Morning"
and NPR's "All Things Considered." In
addition, DJ Le Spam and the Spam
Allstars won a Latin Grammy in 2003 for
their third album "Fucata Live," a record
originally mixed outside the studio.
Their tour dates reflect a growing
popularity, including shows in New
York, New Orleans and Atlanta and a re-
cent appearance at the Langerado Music
Festival in Sunrise, Fla., along with
String Cheese Incident and Umphrey
McGee.
DJ Le Slam and the Spam Allstar's
chemistry and improvisation contrib-
ute to their touring success and rise to
recognition. Their motley mix of styles
converges skillfully on stage, creating
unique and engaging live performances.
They rocked The Atlantic twice already
earlier this year, playing sets that electri-,.
fied and energized the elbow-to-elbow
crowd.
DJ Le Spam just released a fourth
album in 2004, their first studio effort to
date, entitled "Spam Allstars Contra Los
Roboticos Mutantes." Don't miss your
chance to see an accomplished national
act in an intimate atmosphere when DJ
Le Spam and the Spam Allstars return to
The Atlantic, situated at 15 N. Main St.
Like Taco Bell, this multi-layered mu-
sical burrito is available cheap (7 bones
at the door) and late (doors open at 10
p.m., shows usually start around 11:30
p.m. and last until 2 a.m.).
For more information about DJ
Le Spam and the Spam Allstars, in-
cluding upcoming tour dates, music,

Fillmore," visit their official Web site at

'Godspell' blesses GCP
Sinners and saints: This is no ordinary
Bible preach.
"Godspell," the musical story time that
plays out vignettes of the Gospel, graces
the Gainesville Community Playhouse
Second Stage.
Unlike any other musical, "Godspell"
mixes script with role playing, leaving a
lot of room for improvisation. This per-
formance really takes its creative liberties,
making an even more enjoyable show for
the audience.
What's great about "Godspell" is it's
an ensemble piece. Everyone is important,
because there are no leads well, besides
Jesus. Each individual character brings
something special to the stage, yet together,
the characters are an energetic unit. Every
role-playing scenario showcases a different
actor's voice or personality.
For such a small-scale performance,
the actors were very gifted vocally, re-
ally showcasing what talent the Gainesville
community has to offer. Hits such as "Day
by Day" had audience members tapping
their toes and singing along with every
note.
Rudy Lurz's portrayal of Jesus.
However, was a little perplexing. I un-
derstand that Jesus, in terms of this play,
is supposed to be a kind-hearted, gentle
soul that leads the ensemble in preaching
his ways. Lurz, however, was calm, really
calm. Calm enough that I was wondering
what he was doing to pre-game before the
performance.
It almost seemed as if the show was
one place, and whatever was going on in
Jesus' mind was somewhere else. It was in-
teresting to watch
such animated
characters follow
this hemp-neck-
lace-wearing Jesus,
who seemed to be
Heather Berger playing a Grateful
Curtain Call Dead album in his
theavenue@alligator.org head throughout
the play.
OK, I will not
make fun of him anymore the en-
semble was good enough to completely
forget about what Jesus was babbling on
about.
Maureen Demers chose to direct this
play in a modem setting, using colorful,
everyday garb for the costumes and a street
alley for the background. It was a change
from the retro version of this show I've
witnessed in the past. The modem look
really proved that, no matter what setting,
the words of "Godspell" are applicable
always.
As my last review of the year, I would
just like to say how great it's been to get a
taste of entertainment around Gainesville.
Some shows made me want to cry with joy,
while some made me want to cry from the
misery of watching. I apologize for any-
thing negative I have written I am no
expert, but I always call it like I see it.
"Godspell" was a blessing as my last
show for the year.
Showtimes are Wednesday through
Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.
The show will run until April 23, and tick-
ets can be purchased at Omni Book Store or
at the door.

Side Bar to raise Voices
By KEELEY MCCARTY
Avenue Writer
Voice of the People sounds almost too
good to be straight out of Gainesville. It's
feel-good hip-hop: not what you'd listen
to on the way to the club but maybe at
home drinking with friends on a Sunday
night.
Messenger and EtchIne spit the hip-
hop verses, and Laurie Pierre and Lauren
Shure provide jazzy vocals on several
tracks, breaking the inevitable monotony
of rap.
The Gainesville group formed around
February' 2004 and just finished its first
album, "What We're Feeling," which is
being independently released. Original
member Pierre recently left the group due
to creative differences, and Voice of the
People gained a full band of two guitar-
ists, a bassist and a drummer.
"I don't want to just do hip-hop that
you could listen to on the radio," says

Hector Galvez, alias Etch1ne.
Galvez says with the back-up instru-
mentals, he hopes the music will appeal to
a wider audience.
Galvez is a third-year political science
major; and his "partner in rhyme," Marley
Montano, aka The Messenger, works at
Market Street Pub and produces music in
his home studio.
Voice of the People's music is fresh and
uplifting. It steers away from the stereo-
typical rap subjects and "focuses on emo-
tions and issues that are important to the
group. And good luck finding a word of
profanity in the album it's clean.
"I basically catch a beat and try to write
a poem, that says how it makes me feel,"
Galvez says.
Voice of the People will perform
Saturday at The Side Bar as part of
The House of Hip-Hop, sponsored by
Myspace.com. The show starts at 10 p.m.
and costs $7. "What We're Feeling" will be
available to purchase next week for $2.

'Born into Brothels' captures pain in photographs
P photographs are powerful
things. They have the power to
draw you in, to make you feel
what someone in the picture is feel-
ing, to take you out of the world you
know and throw you into whatever
the camera captured.
"Born into Brothels" is about pic-
tures with this power, pictures taken
by a group of young children living
in the dark world of Calcutta's red-
light district.
In 1998, co-director of the docu-
mentary and New York photojour-
nalist Zana Briski, ventured into that
world, living with prostitutes in a
filthy maze of death, sexual abuse
and poverty.
While she had originally traveled
to India to document the lives of the
women who lived in this darkness, it
was their children who immediately
embraced and inspired her.
They were fascinated by her and
her camera, and when she taught
them how to use it, an idea dawned
upon her. Though she still took pic-
tures, she handed down her gift of
photography to these children, the
sons and daughters of prostitutes.
She gave
point-and-
shoot .cam-
eras to a
small group
Ange De Angelis of her most
Atnge the Angeis eager stu-
AttheHipp dents and
theavenue@alligator.org sent them to
capture the
harsh realities of the inescapable
nightmare of life in the brothels.
In 2000, Briski sought the help of
documentary editor Ross Kauffman.
Together they created a film that fol-
lows the extraordinary group of bud-
ding photographers through a world
unlike anything we can relate to.
What makes this documentary
beautiful and heartbreaking is that
it's all told through the children. It's
their stories, their lives, their cameras
that capture the images of hopeless-
ness and tragedy.
It's not all sad, though. This docu-
mentary educates and inspires, prov-
ing that heroism can take any form.
In this case, photography was the
hero and the light in the otherwise
bleak lives of children who at an
early age had already come to accept
life as painful and without hope.
If you've ever relived a moment
in a picture, if you've ever been
moved by something frozen on film,
if you've ever felt the power of a pic-
ture, go see this documentary.
Winner of the 2005 Academy
Award for best documentary feature,
"Born into Brothels" opens Friday
at Gainesville's Hippodrome State
Theatre.
For show times and tickets, con-
tact the Hippodrome at 375-HIPP or

Dear Longing to be Licked,
You can lead a man to Tuna Town, but
you can't make him buy the lunch special.
But sometimes, you can at least get him to
taste it.
For the most part, men love heading
down south so much they need to be re-
minded to come up for air. And yes, occa-
sionally, there are those who go straight for
the main event without ever introducing
their face to your vertical lips (I like to call
these guys useless).
If your guy is truly put-off by yodeling
in the valley, there's not much you can do
other than pin him
M down and sit on his
face. But my guess
is he's just unsure
of what he's doing.
Jump Your Assure him your
Bones Jones vagina, doesn't
Undercovers bite (if it does, you
might want to get
undercovers2005@yahoo.com that wantheked out).
that checked out).
Tell him how much
you enjoy being eaten out and that you're
willing to talk him through it. It'll be a lot
less intimidating for him if he's receiving a
little coaching, just don't go overboard (a
whistle usually isn't a good idea).
There's an abundance of resources both
on the Internet and in bookstores about
how to orally gratify a female.
Encourage your man to educate himself,
or go ahead and outright give him a book
on the subject (don't forget to highlight the
good parts). Heck, feel free to write your
own sex manual complete with illustra-
tions.
It won't be long before your crotctr'
treated like an all-you-can-eat buffet. Just.
make sure he saves room for dessert.

UF's LaPorta named to another All-America team
Slugger leads
conference
in home runs
STAFF REPORT
As if swinging for UF's single-
season home run record hasn't
landed Matt LaPorta enough at-
tention, the first baseman has an
accolade to add to his season's
story.
LaPorta, a sophomore, was
named to Baseball America's
Midseason All-America Team
Tuesday. He currently ranks first
in the Southeastern Conference
with 41 RBI, is second in the
league with 12 home runs and his
slugging percentage of .717 ranks
third. LaPorta has 23 more regular
season games, not including the

Wilkerson's single-season record

Through 12 SEC games,
LaPorta's six home runs match
Mississippi's duo of Stephen Head
and Brian Pettway for top honors
in the league. The slugger paces the
conference with 18 RBI. LaPorta has
a .333 overall batting average for the
fifth-ranked Gators (25-8, 8-4 SEC),
who will host
No. 17 Alabama
(25-10, 8-4 SEC)
at McKethan
Stadium this
weekend. UF
and the Crimson
Tide are tied atop
-the SEC stand-
ings with fourth-ranked South
Carolina (28-5, 8-4 SEC).
LaPorta was chosen as a First-
Team Freshman All-American
by Baseball America in 2004
and was named to the SEC
All-Freshman team released by
SEBaseball.com. He played in 50
games and started a total of 36
games for the Gators at four dif-

JUMPBALL
Columnists weigh in on possible annual matchup with Hurricanes
As the winner of the "Be Athletics
Director For A Day" giveaway, your
agenda is loaded.
You, Mr. Jeremy Foley, need to inject
Anthony Roberson with reality serum. And'
then there's that 50-year extension you need
to Concorde to Urban Meyer's villa.
But there's one issue much more relevant
than either of these quandaries.
Duck or tortillas?
;-.Assuming the NCAA agrees to add a 12th
game to the Division I football schedule, you
need to choose between playing Miami or
playing in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl.
That's the exact dilemma Foley and the
Gators will probably face in the near future.
UF's faithful has been itching for a yearly
stab at the Hurricanes, but do they want to
scratch a green and orange rash of continued
embarrassment? Fans want to annihilate
Florida State and Miami every season. Yeah,
and I'd like Shaq to play 'til he's 60. And
have him teach me how to dunk.
Sure, everyone can dream, but Gator
Nation needs to fasten its collective head to
its reptilian neck.
By agreeing to play Miami every season,
the Gators would be willingly checking off
on the most difficult schedule in college
football.
The SEC will always provide its teams
with one of the nation's most challenging
schedules. And with Miami joining FSU in
the Atlantic Coast Conference, UF and FSU
will boast the nation's fiercest non-confer-
ence rivalry. That alone ensures that the
Gators will always draw one of the toughest
schedules. Add Miami and UF's strength of
schedule would break the Richter scale.
For no good reason, either.
Just look at what Southern California
did last season. Playing powerhouses like
Colorado State, Brigham Young and a bevy
of PAC-10 Pop Warner teams,- the Trojans
won the title.
The Gators
will always field
a tougher slate of
games than USC.
So according to
Louis the Pythagorean
Anastasis Theorem and a
Louis in the Bullpen dash of common
lanastasis@alligator.org sense, you can de-
duct the following:
If UF adds a medi-
ocre team to its 2006 schedule and wins out,
they'll be doing the salsa in Tempe, Ariz.
For some, the mere thought of playing
Miami every season is reason enough to
schedule the Hurricanes. But face Miami
and FSU every year, combined with Georgia,
Tennessee and Co. and you've got- a recipe
for several dramatic losses.
Not convinced?
How excited were you to play Miami
when Willis McGahee rushed for 204 yards
in a 41-16 Swamp beating in 2002?
How enthused were you to play Miami
when the Canes scored 28 unanswered
points to flush the Gators out of the Orange
Bowl in 2003?
But maybe you're still not convinced.
If so, ask the Gators' fans who attended
the 2003 game if they enjoy playing Miami.
My roommates can testify to one UF fan
whose skin was spray-painted orange and
green by a herd of intoxicated Hurricanes'
nuts. And that's definitely not an exception.
So why not schedule the Hurricanes
twice every four years?
That way you can munch on a healthy
mix of duck and tortillas. Or sugar. Or or-
anges. Or roses.
So visit with Peep. Acquire Meyer's John
Hancock. Have your duck.
You can always watch the Fiesta Bowl
from Gainesville.
I've heard it before UF plays in the tough-
est conference in football. The Gators can't'
possibly roll through the grueling SEC and
play rivals Florida State and- Miami every
year.
That sounds like loser talk to me.
You see, my esteemed colleague Louis
is a Romanian raised in Kansas. Since
he grew up in tornadoes and cornfields
instead of the Florida sun, he doesn't un-
derstand the blood and guts behind the
UF-Miami rivalry.
Once upon a time, the state of Florida,
second to none in football, crowned a state
champion every year.
There was never a question which team
was best in the state, because everyone played
each other.
And while there were some nice chapters
to the UF-Florida State rivalry, nothing com-
pared to the nasty history between the,Gators
and the Hurricanes.
UF fans may despise the Seminoles, and
vice versa, but there's still some semblance of
a friendly rivalry.
UF folk call FSU fans stupid and unedu-
cated while FSU fanatics call UF fans dorks
and girly frat boys wearing the unappealing
combination of orange and blue.
But in the end, everyone downs about a
dozen beers and makes cracks about, that's
right, the Hurricanes.
Everybody hates Miami. This is the same
team that once landed in Tempe for the Fiesta'
Bowl dressed in camouflage, ready to wage
chemical warfare on Penn State.
This is the same team that has the weakest
fanbase in the state b.ut still manages to land
the biggest recruits. This is the same team that
signed Willie Williams. Enough said.
There are so many reasons to despise
Miami. Florida State gets to do something
about it. The Gators? Well, Urban, assuming
you're still around these parts, I think you're
tentatively scheduled
2 .to play Miami in
t2008...in Tampa?
What sort of wacky
;g. world is. this? UF
-players have the right
Andrew to face Miami every
Abramson year, a grand bash in
Drew's Control the Orange Bowl or
aabramson@alligator.org the Swamp. UM and
UF players can't grow
a true hatred toward
one another if they only face the opponent
once in their career.
UF, Miami and FSU's rosters are full of
players who chose one school over the other.
You think the Gators have forgotten Willie's
Wild Visit to Gainesville in 2004? Don't you
think the Gators want to put a beat-down on
Miami and show Mr. Williams what could
have been?
If you still think it would be too dam
tough for UF to permanently add Miami to
the schedule, chew on this: the best teams in
the nation should face the best.
For all of you out there (Louis, you in-
cluded) who. are ready to send UF to the
Rose Bowl to face Southern California for the
national championship, you obviously have
plenty of confidence in the Gators.
So with your logic, Miami should be a
mere roadblock, a hated rival about to experi-
ence the wrath of Urban and the gang.
When Steve Spurrier took the Gators' Oath
of Office on Dec. 31,1989, he proclaimed that
UF must face Miami and FSU every year.
If you flipped to the back of today's
Alligator and saw the Top 10 Moments in UF
Sports History, you'll know it's wise to take
Steve's advice.

Mom's. That's from years of conditioning, be-

UF coach Pat McMahon graduated from
the same high school as O'Day, Jacksonville
Bishop Kenny. McMahon was drafted out of
high school by the New York Mets, but opted
to play in college first.
O'Day didn't have that choice. In fact, he
was a walk-on at UF.
McMahon has been pleasantly surprised
with O'Day's performance, despite having to

arms. We-had to make a move to take base-
ball away from him for a year, but he worked
in the summer and worked very hard.
"I was so proud of him coming back out,
and he made the ball club and has become an
integral part to our pitching staff, and that's
to his credit."
But, how does a pitcher who wasn't of-
fered a scholarship out of high school end
up being trusted to pitch in the most crucial
parts of a game?
"Where a lot of people shy away, where
adversity sets in, they end up quitting and
wanting to run," McMahon said. "Not
Darren O'Day. He stepped in there and has
done a tremendous job for us. I'm so proud
of him."
O'Day's fastball tops out at 88 mph. His
slider embarrassed many opposing batters
this season. As a sidearm pitcher, he looks
like the prototype middle reliever you would
see in the big leagues.
"I'm not going to light the radar gun up,
but I can get guys out," O'Day said. "I think
lately there's been more of a trend; some
teams are drafting on results. They still like
guys that can throw 95 [mph], but teams like
the [Oakland] A's are taking people that can
get batters out even if they don't light the
radar gun up. That's encouraging for guys
like me."
O'Day is eligible for the MLB Draft in
June. He knows that scouts are in attendance
at most of the games he's pitched, and they
could call him at season's close.
"If that comes along, it's a great opportu-
nity, and I'll definitely pursue it," O'Day said.
"But I always have my backup plan, so I'm
not going to depend on [baseball]. I definitely
want to pursue it, give it a try, see how far it
goes."
O'Day has plenty of confidence that he
can succeed at any level of baseball.
"I see these guys pitching in the major
leagues that throw like me, same kind of
pitcher as me," O'Day said. "I think, 'Men, I
could do that.' Even if it is just to pitch one or
two outs a game every other day, I'd love that
life. It's always been a dream of mine to play
in the major leagues."
Looking at O'Day's statistics, there isn't
much to criticize. The number that might
have room for improvement is his fielding
percentage. O'Day committed two errorsTast
season, and remembers each play vividly.
"That's one of the things I pride myself
on, is holding the runners close," O'Day said.
"The pickoff at second base, it was just a total
lack of thought by me. It was at Tennessee.
I read too much into [shortstop Justin] Tordi
on the pickoff. I thought he was going to the
base, and I just threw it into center field. It
was such a stupid mistake that I made, it
was at a crucial point in the game, at a crucial
game in the season. I won't forget that. That's
what you gotta do to learn from it."
While he has a photographic memory in
the classroom and on the field, he has also
learned to put mistakes in the past.
"The biggest part of closing is failure,"
O'Day said. "You have to learn how to put
it behind you.T'm not [L.A. Dodgers closer]
Eric Gagne. I'm not going to save 71 games
in a row. You have to be able to put it behind
you, and go out there the next time and get
the job done.
"You gotta learn from it. You think about
what you could have done different, but if
you-feel like you did your best, you just tell
yourself, 'That guy was better than me that
day, and I'll be better than him today.'"
"You remember the failures, that's for
sure, but you also remember the good times,"
O'Day said. -
There are plenty of good times to come.

Rehab center opens door to athletes
By NICK ZACCARDI
Alligator Writer
The NFL is invading Gator Country.
The Miami Dolphins, Tampa Bay
Buccaneers and Jacksonville Jaguars won't
be playing at the Swamp anytime soon,
but the teams could employ the resources
of the acclaimed UF sports medicine pro-
gram.
-Players would only be sent to Gainesville
at the discretion of team doctors to seek di-
agnosis rather than actual treatment or long-
term rehabilitation, said Dr. Peter Indelicato,
UF sports medicine division chief.
"We just have an unwritten understand-
ing that if they want to send their athletes to
us for second opinions, then we'd be more
than happy to accommodate them as best as
we can," he said. "We've got a national and,
in my particular case, an international repu-
tation in sports medicine."
Indelicato's standing in the medical com-
munity, combined with his NFL experience,
has led Joseph Diaco, Tampa Bay team physi-
cian, to Gainesville.
"Pete Indelicato's one of the finest sur-
geons in the United States, as far as sports
medicine is concerned," Diaco said. "He was
the team physician with the Miami Dolphins,
so I have gotten to know Pete very well over
the years."
But as far as the recently-opened $25 mil-
lion -UF Orthopedics and Sports Medicine
Institute is concerned, Diaco doesn't foresee
sending Buccaneers players to Gainesville to
utilize it.
"I think it's more amenable to former [UF]
players in the draft that want to go back there
and take advantage of that," Diaco said.
That's where Indelicato's duties as the
University Athletic Association head team
physician kick in.
"We have a high-tech motion analysis
lab here," Indelicato said. "We can use high-
tech graphics to evaluate a golfer's swing
or a pitcher's throwing motion or a tennis
player's serve."
But, for Indelicato, football has recently
become his priority.
Several UF football players have already
taken a sneak peek at the institute, including
freshman defensive end Javier Estopinan,
freshman defensive lineman Brandon Daniel
and sophomore defensive tackle Marcus
"They determine whether or not
he is really recovered from the
injury to the point where he is
very unlikely to encounter the
same problem again."
Dr. Peter Indelicato
UF sports medicine division chief
Thomas.
Indelicato is working with Estopinan to
help him recover from a torn anterior cruci-
ate ligament in his left knee, suffered during
a running drill. He and other physicians at
the institute operated on Estopinan's knee
during Spring Break.
"He'll be doing physical therapy,"
Indelicato said. "Some of it will be done here
[at the institute], and some of it will be done
at the training room at the south end zone.
But I think the value is the convenience and
the availability of clinical resources under
one roof [at the institute] that relate to sports
medicine."
Estopinan said he's already on the road
to recovery.
"The rehab center has done a great job
getting me off my feet," he said. "I'm already
walking. I'm making great progress."
Indelicato expects Estopinan to spend
approximately nine hours per week in train-
ing and rehabilitation, and Estopinan has no
problem with that.
"The more time the better," the linebacker
said. "I go every day, and I think that's what
helps you get on the field the fastest. And it's
working."
The five-month-long rehab takes place
over a series of steps, Indelicato said.
"The process first involves regaining the
motion in their knee," he said. "Then we do
some early strength training, but after about
six weeks we do some aggressive strength
training."
That's where the road to recovery reaches
a curve.
Before the comeback is complete, the
6-foot-1, 241-pound Estopinan must train
under water.
"He has the benefit of the activity with-
out the negative effects of body weight,"
Indelicato said. "We have him exercise in
sometimes chest-deep water on a treadmill
type of device."
Throughout the process, the institute's
staff will use about seven high-speed digital
cameras to monitor deficiencies invisible to
the naked eye.
"They determine whether or not he is
really recovered from the injury to the point
where he is very unlikely to encounter the
same problem again," Indelicato said.
And perhaps nobody is a bigger fan of the
institute than Coach Urban Meyer.
"Coach Meyer is impressed with the
institution over there," Estopinan said. "He
thinks it's amazing. He thinks it's the best
thing at the university for athletes."

They do have their culpability
in the rampant disease that is ste-
roid abuse in the game.
There is a bigger issue to ad-
dress these organizations
are part of the problem when it
comes to Major League Baseball
and all those players that want
to emulate their favorite players
and make it to the big leagues.
Thereis a far greater evil when
it comes to steroids and virtually
every other illegal drug pervad-
ing our society it is those who
will gladly deal death to kids for
greed, hiding behind the false
guise that they are just "giving
people what they want."
If we really want to shut down
the use of steroids both in sport
and among kids who just want
to look big, we can't just increase
testing in our schools and profes-
sional leagues.
While these things are neces-
sary, they cannot stop use com-
pletely, as the drug makers will
stay ahead of the testers.
We must make a statement to
our government that places like
the fake pharmacies in Mexico,
whose gateways are both the
border and the Internet, must be
shut off.
While the topic right now is
steroids, this goes for any other
drug that can destroy lives.
This of course does not apply
to those who are prescribed ste-
roids by a competent doctor for a
variety of ailments.
This also does not discount
the fault of those who choose
to take steroids or other drugs
themselves.
The point is, real change will
not occur, especially in baseball,
with testing alone.
We don't need Canseco to tell
us that.

FROM THE BULLS EARLIER IN THE

Top of the Class
Pitcher has
perfect GPA
By TIM CASEY
Alligator Writer
tcasey@alligator.org
Darren O'Day isn't the ste-
reotypical jock.
When the junior said he
chose UF over Florida State
because he wanted to get an
education, he was serious.
What attracted him to
Gainesville was a specific
academic program that wasn't
available in Tallahassee.
While the joke is that jocks
at competition schools major
in underwater basket weaving
so they can coast through col-
lege, O'Day came to UFfor a
very challenging major, animal
biology.
He sports a 4.0 GPA. And a
1.27 ERA.
One month ago, O'Day
was named College Sports
Television's Student-Athlete of
the Week. Last season, he was
named CoSIDA Academic All-
District 1H and was a member
of the SEC Academic Honor
Roll.
"That's a big part of being
here," O'Day said. "You gotta
be real. I mean, maybe one per-
cent Qf college baseball players
get to play in the majors for an
extended period of time."
This isn't the kind of talk
you hear from a player who
is named to a national watch
list for the nation's top college
closer.
"I gotta have a backup
plan," O'Day said. "That's
what I'm trying to do while
I'm here, is maximize my
education, get a good one, and
go on to make some money, if
baseball doesn't work out."
He says he always wanted
to be a veterinarian, but is now
weighing medical school ver-
sus vet school.
"I've always liked reading
about animals and interacting
with them," O'Day said. "I
think it's one of the best pro-
fessions you can get into."
At school, he has a saltwa-
ter fish tank, which he admits
to neglecting. It's understand-
able, though. He's got bigger
things on his mind like 5,000
hostile fans when he's trying to
close a tight game.
"It's awesome," O'Day
said. "The crowd aspect, you
can't pay attention to them.
The only voice I've ever heard
when I'm on the mound is my

eight hits, with three coming in the final
inning.
That doesn't come as much of a sur-
prise considering that Cameron, UF's top
offensive weapon, did not start. Cameron
did pinch-run in the fourth inning, how-
ever.
Catcher Michelle Diaz led UF's of-
fense, going 2 for 3 with a triple and a sto-
len base. USF third baseman Krista Holle
led the Bulls' offense with a 3-for-3, one
RBI performance.
The Bulls placed UF in an unenviable
hole early.
Holle, the second batter of the game,
crushed a Mandy Schuerman offering
over the left field fence.
Then, with two outs in the inning, a
Carly Griffin single to left field scored
Tiffany Stewart, giving, the Bulls a 2-0
advantage.
The Gators would answer in the sec-
ond inning when Savana Kelly batted
in teammate Stacie Pestrak. The Gators
never seemed to muster enough come-
backs to compete, however.
Schuerman picked up the loss for UF.
Stacey Stevens, who relieved Schuerman,
pitched 4.2 innings and surrendered two
runs while striking out eight. The Gators'
pitching staff combined to walk a total of
four Bulls. "
The Gators will return to action this
weekend when they host a three-game
series against No. 7 Tennessee.
The Gators and the Volunteers will
be battling for second place in the SEC
Eastern Division.

I was reminded, of course,
because Canseco was at the
O'Connell Center promoting "
his book "Juiced" and the new-
found cause of battling against
MLB and their players union.
While many would see
Canseco's visit to Gainesville
as a shameless part of his book
promotion tour, and while
Canseco's speech abilities need
some. improvement (I was
taught this last semester in
class to make eye contact and
not read), and while the speech-
turned into a sideshow during
the Q & A, he did bring some-
thing to light in his comments,
at least indirectly.
You see, Canseco sees the
players union and the MLB
hierarchy as obstructers to the
truth, and, well, kind of evil.
They would have continued on
the same path had Congress not
stepped in.
And all of this is true to an
extent.

w Not officially associated with the University of Florida VOLUME 98 ISSUE 137 the independent florida Published by Campus Communications, Inc. of Gainesville, Florida We Inform. You Decide. A 7Rcye Basketbai stars declare for NBA draft By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@alligator.org Exactly one month after UF won its firstever Southeastern Conference title, the speculation surrounding the shape of the Gators' backcourt next season continued to mount. Junior guards Anthony Roberson and Matt Walsh declared for the NBA draft on Wednesday. But neither Roberson nor Walsh has hired an agent, leaving them eligible to return for their senior seasons, according to NCAA regulations, if they choose to withdraw from the draft by June 21. While Roberson had been expected to declare, Coach Billy Donovan surprisingly announced Walsh's decision at a press conference just four hours after Roberson's initial declaration. Donovan, however, believes Walsh is simply testing his NBA stock. "Matt has made it very clear to me that the only way he would go is if he's a first-round draft pick," Donovan said. "And I don't think Matt thinks, right now, that he's a first-round pick. "He feels like right now would be the time to see where he has to get better and see what NBA managWalsh ers think of him." At this point, Donovan doesn't feel that Walsh has much understanding of what NBA officials think of him. "I can't tell you right now if.Matt Walsh is a first-round or a second-round draft pick or even if he would get drafted for that matter, Donovan said. "I don't know." Walsh has participated in the Bradentonbased 1MG Academies' basketball training program, which has historically served as an NBA springboard for underclassmen. "I think if you ask Matt what is the perception surrounding him in the NBA, I don't SEE DRAFT, PAGE 9 Canseco speech takes juicy turn E HE DID NOT LOOK UP WHILE READING SPEECH. By IAN FISHER Alligator Staff Writer ifisher@aligator.org What started peacefully turned into something a bit more disorderly at the-Stephen C. O'Connell Center. Former Major On League Baseball CamPUS player Jose Canseco, who was paid $35,000 by Accent, UF's speakers bureau, to speak Wednesday night, read his whole pre-prepared speech without making eye contact with a crowd of more than 1,000. But once the question-andanswer session came around, things quickly changed. One audience member pointed out that in Canseco's book "Juiced: Wild Tunes, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits, and How Baseball Got Big," he said he would never again set foot in the state of Florida. Even if he didn't show up in Gainesville, Canseco has to appear at a civil trial in Miami today. Earlier in the trial, it was revealed that the former star received a $300,000 advance for "Juiced." Someone had the, well, balls to ask if Canseco had suffered from any side effects from the steroids, primarily "ball shrinkage." Canseco said some shrinkage actually had occurred, drawing howls of laughter from the crowd. "Who wants big balls, anyway?" Canseco said. "You don't use them for anything."

STUDENT LIFE Campus NOW undergoes abrupt change in leadership Clash over direction cited By DAVID COHEN Alligator Writer dcohen@alligator.org Citing a need for a broader political and social agenda, UF's Campus National Organization for Women voted in new leadership Tuesday. Since December, dissatisfied members of Campus NOW have been covertly plotting with current and former members to thwart former President Kelly Mangan's bid for re-election. Mangan has been accused of pressuring members into acting out her "restrictive" agenda and "silencing" women, said Vera Brown, the group's newly-elected president. Brown insisted her "coup" mostly was spurred by differing views about fermnirsm. The women, who called themselves the Pink Panthers, succeeded Tuesday at Campus NOW's annual election. "Dressed in a sea of pink, we walked together into the elections on Tuesday evening and changed. the future of Campus NOW by electing new officers," Brown said in a press release. "We could no longer act under a type of feminism that believes that reproductive rights are the only battles that women face." Mangan refused comment for this article.

4, ALLIGATOR S THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 2005 SPECIAL REPORT For some, bil sparks Johns Committeedeja vu, By MEGAN SEERY Alligator Staff Writer mseery@alligator.org Following the introduction into the Florida Legislature of a controversial bill aimed at eliminating a perceived liberal bias in universities, longtime UF faculty members say Florida is heading down the same road it traveled 50 years ago -when gay students and faculty were investigated because of their sexual orientation. "I see elements of the-Johns Committee all over again," UF law professor Fletcher Baldwin said of the 1956 committee named for former acting Gov. Charley Johnis. "People are advised to contact the government if professors or others are too radical," he said of the committee and proposed legislation. Baldwin, who joined UF's faculty in 1962, said the committee used the idea of academic protection to react against liberalism -an attribute he also sees in the recently proposed "Academic Freedom Bill of Rights." "The Johns Committee ended up radicalizing a lot of people at UF," he said. "Academic freedom became an issue because they were stopping free speech and going after homosexuals." The Academic Freedom Bill of Rights states that students cannot be punished if they disagree with their professors' ideology, and it paves legal ground for students to sue professors who ridicule or disrespect their ideas. State Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, who sponsored the bill, says UF faculty just prove his point by trying to characterize him as a "right-wing wacko." "Relating me to the Johns Committee is absurd," Baxley said. "Criticisms from these college intellectuals indicate exactly what I'm talking about -that if you don't have the right political orientation, they'll crush you." And while academia may accuse Baxley of limiting free speech, he said he's just trying to encourage it on a more-level playing field. "These professors operate on an 'Animal Farm' principle," said Baxley, referring to the 1946 George Orwell novel that lampooned corruption in Conmmumism. "They're saying, 'We are all equal, but. some are more equal than others."' But Baldwin is not alone in his Johns Committee comparison. Phyllis Meek, a former UF associate dean of students who joined the staff in 1966, said Baxley's bill is a scare tactic meant to silence outspoken professors. "This is reminiscent of the McCarthy era, when you do away with free speech," she said. "There is a climate of fear after Sept. 11 that prevents people from coming out and saying how ridiculous this is." Meek said UF was the primary focus of the Johns Committee campaign because of its perceived liberalism. UF graduate Art Copleston, 72, remembers being terrified of the committee. "They had all the power to destroy your life, and they knew that," said Copleston, who was secretly gay at the time. "We lived a secret life that would be enough to destroy your career or anything else you had going for you." Copleston said one of his favorite professors left UF feeling committee pressure; conversely, he was surprised that other instructors he knew didn't speak out against the investigations. "Professors never seemed to challenge the. police when they stomped into the classroom to interrogate us," he -said. "They were silent because they were afraid." While some UF students and faculty chose to leave campus, others were asked to leave or told to seek psychiatric help, Meek said. Fletcher said he was "appalled" when he found out police officers were taking professors out of their classrooms in order to question their allegiance to the United States. "After 9/11, the climate in this country is ripe for new Johns Committees and McCarthyism," he said. And although Meek said she was disappointed that more legislators haven't spoken out against Baxley's measure, she said it always has been difficult for UF officials to take a stand against the Legislature. "(Former UF President John Wayne) Reitz was very cooperative with the Johns Committee," she said. "The idea was that, 'We'll just withhold funding from the university if you don't cooperate." Pride members hold day of silence to spotlight plight E HOWEVER, ONLY FIVE MEMBERS OF THE GROUP ACTUALLY TOOK PART. By ANDREA VEST Alligator Contributing Writer The Pride Student Union recognized a day of silence on Wednesday to promote the lifestyle and cultural blends prevalent on college campuses today. As part of Pride Awareness Month, a group of five Pride Student Union members rallied on the Reitz Union North Lawn to further the group's ultimate mission. The student-led day of action consisted of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/ questioning and allied members of society who took a day-long vow of silence to protest discrimPride Awareness Month Assistant Director Nathan Pearman and members Andrea Garcia and Gaby Madriz lament how the Breaking the Silence Rally, scheduled to take place Wednesday, barely came off. ber Andrea Garcia said. At 3 p.m., Pride Student Union members and their allies broketheir vow of silence for an hour. Garcia shared her story about maintaining silence during her morning classes Wednesday. Garcia said she overheard a group of guys next to her telling a story about a party they were at the night before. They playfully called each other faggots .and On described the party CamPUs as being gay, she said. "People need to be educated because they don't intend to say hurtful comments, but they do it unintentionally," Garcia said. UF junior Ben Yonker said although he is not gay, he respects those who are. "I think that it is important fornpeol i-e tc be abl ito ex lress~ nation and harassment. their individualism," Yonker "It symbolizes gay students said. "It's their lives and they who are silenced because of antishouldn't be criticized for their homosexuality sentiment," memchoices." Paradigm apartment allegedly burgled over Spring Break RENTERS ACCUSE PARADIGM OF LEAVING THEIR DOOR UNLOCKED OVER SPRING BREAK. By ELIZABETH PRANN Alligator Writer eprann@alligator.org A Paradigm Properties renter claims his apartment was burgled of bimost $4,000 in property after employees of the complex left it unlocked during a series of showings over Spring Break. UF sophomore Arthur Gonzales lives at 1536 NW Third Ave. with a roommate, Mike Irizarry. Gonzales said they entered into an agreement with Paradigm, allowing the company to show their apartment to potential leasers for a reduction in their rent. He said Irizarry received two messages informing the pair that their apartment would be shown over the break week. Irizarry, the first to return after the break, was suspicious when he returned to a fully lit and unlocked apartment, Gonzales said. Then he noticed a jar of change was missing. Once Gonzales returned, the two promptly filed an incident report with the Gainesville Police Department. "[Paradigm employees] were the last people in our apartment; there is no forced entry." Arthur Gonzales UF sophomore GPD Lt. Brian Helmerson said the report, filed by Gonzales and Irizarry, listed a black leather jacket, a high-school class ring, a pair of Sean John blue jeans, a gold chain and pendant, and other belongings worth a total of $3,932. Gonzales said the alleged thief stole items which would have gone unnoticed until used, like his black leather jacket. He also said he found it odd that more expefisive items, such as his laptop, weren't taken. He said no one has a key except he, Irizarry and Paradigm. "[Paradigm employees] were the last people in our apartment; there is no forced entry," he said. Gonzales added that the representatives from Paradigm he has been in contact with have been condescending. "They were not working with us at all," he said. However, Paradigm Director of Operations Eric Blevins said his company is sympathetic. -"We want to help them," he said "We want to do an investigation." However, Blevins said there is nothing Paradigm can do without evidence, such as receipts for the missing items. "The value was fairly high," he said. "We need some sort of information to back that up and some phone records." Blevins said the situation is being looked into by Paradigm and that they are waiting on additional information from Gonzales and Irizarry. Gonzales said there were certain items stolen for which he cannot get verification, such as a 30-year-old, $3,000 gold necklace from his father. "I had it in my drawer and I don't have time to get insurance on it," Gonzales said. "I'm a college student."

THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 2005 K ALLIGATOR, 5 G REEK LIFE Tau KpaEpsilon gPets new Fraternitysi Row address By BRITTANY FERGUSON Alligator Contributing Writer Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity members have found a new home. The chapter will move to 7 Fraternity Row, the address of the former Phi Gamma Delta house. "It's so indescribable," said fraternity member Paul Meyer. "I just can't wait to move in." This will be the first time Tau Kappa Epsilon will have a house on Fraternity Row. Fraternity members held a party in March at which they worked on landscaping and took down the old fraternity's letters. The new letters were unveiled Saturday at a barbecue with alumni and members from other chapters. Members will move in Aug. 1. Meyer said he hopes this will give them more time to fix up the house. "We've had some interior decorators scope out the place," he said. "It's so indescribable. I just Can't wait to move in." -Paul Meyer fraternity member Meyer, who now lives in Simpson Hall, will be one of the 30 members to live in the new house, which has 10 single and 10 double rooms. Tau Kappa Epsilon President Ariel Ruiz said being in the center of the row will give them more prominence in the Greek community. "This will help us be more recognized and give us more of a Greek unity," Ruiz said. The house swap between Phi Gamma Delta and Tau Kappa Epsilon went smoothly, Ruiz said. "They knew that we were homeless," he said. "So, we contacted them, and we all got together to come up with an agreeable lease." Phi Gamma Delta was suspended and ordered to leave their house in October 2004. Three members who are no longer associated with the fraternity were accused of vandalizing the Sigma Chi Fraternity house and causing approximately $3,000 in damages. Tau Kappa Epsilon historic officer Dustin Rollins said a house should help increase membership. "It will just be fun," Rollins said. "We can chill, study and take a nap before classes."

6, ALLIGATOR S THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 2005 Editorial Bill blunder Power separation would be clear, but not correct et's be honest here: If you're a UF student, you probably didn't read the front-page story in the Alligator yesterday about the House proposal that would define the separation of powers among the bodies that govern state universities. Who cares, right? What's a Board of Governors, anyway? You don't have to ask those questions, becaLise we know you don't want to hear the answers. If you would have read closer, however, you would have seen that this bill poses some dangerous possibilities for the future of our university system. Here's a quick multiple-choice quiz about who you think should have certain powers over universities. These are your possible answers: a.) the Florida Legislature; b.) the Board of Governors; or c.) the universities themselves. 1.) Who should choose the objectives of each university and the strategies they use to reach them? 2.) Who should approve degree programs? 3.) Who should set enrollment levels? 4.) Who should be responsible for negotiating faculty? Hopefully, you chose straight C's: The universities should control these basic functions of their operation. This, unfortunately, would not be the case under the proposed bill. The proposal would give all of these powers to the Board of Governors. Thus, a governingbody with no ties to the university would decide whether or not its degree programs were good enough. The board would take it upon itself to decide the amount of students that the university effectively can handle. It even would decide if the most fundamental goals of the university were correct -regardless of how the university feels. But don't take this to mean that the university should be unaccountable. University officials are not elected, and thus should not be the absolute end of the road for these decisions. There is a very thin line, however, between state bodies ensuring that universities don't act incorrectly and forcing them to conform to a strict plan that has not been created by educators. However, the bill did not get everything wrong. Leaving in-state tuition choices to the Legislature probably isn't the best option, but giving the choice to universities definitely isn't. If universities control tuition, they will hike the rates skyward. UF administrators make no effort to hide the fact that they'd like to as much as double UF's in-state tuition. They don't seem to realize that UF's greatest asset is its unbeatable value for Florida residents. Making UF the best university it possibly can be is a noble goal, but keeping UF as a great educational opportunity at a price everyone can afford infinitely is more important. This is where the Board of Governors comes in. Tuition rates can't be trusted. solely to the Legislature, because they want to keep rates low so their Bright Futures expenditures are low. Tuition rates can't be trusted solely to the universities, because they want all the money they can get without scaring away too many students. The board has neither of these concerns. They are impartial and could make the most unbiased choice of rates after considering the arguments of both sides. Since its creation, the exact standing of the board in terms of authority over university issues has been unclear. Well, here is an opportunity to set the precedent: The board should be a mediator between the Legislature and the universities, dealing with the issues in which both sides have conflicts of interest.

Opinions ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/opinions ~o Guest column Christmas trees cost big in evaluations used to be a big believer in end-of-semester evaluations -well, whenever they were in my favor, of course. I'd bask in the glow of above-average ratings and be inspired to do it all again. But lately, I've become a bit jaded. As professors, we're required to administer evaluations toward the end of every course. I realize that not all students view this exercise seriously. From my son, a junior on campus, I've learned how some of his classmates "Christmas tree".their responses -they randomly bubble-in the circles on scanner forms to resemble Christmas ornaments on a tree. These students don't read the questions or care if answers reflect high or low scores. Apparently, they missed the paragraph that explains how responses "will be used by the University of Florida in making promotion, tenure and salary-decisions." The numbers do matter. Five is good, one is bad and the average scores of each section we teach become part of our permanent record of teaching effectiveness at UE Question No.10 plays a heavy role: Overall rating of the instructor. It's in all capitals. Because professors know the numbers matter, I've seen that procedures are sometimes modified by others on a quest for higher scores. From my son's own experiences and observations in Weimer Hall, here are several indiscretions: a professor once had pizzas delivered for the final class meeting, the same day evaluations were given; an instructor got teary-eyed and told his students how much they'd grown together that semester, and then distributed the forms before leaving the room (instructors are not to begin the class, but must send in a proxy to read instructions and gather material); and some instructors waited until the end of class, hoping the momentum of a particularly strong session would provide higher scores. John Freeman I guess these tales of "Christmas Speaking Out treeing" and inappropriate administration of the evaluations would not matter so much if faculty members were not constantly pitted against one another in the race to get ahead. Bonuses, teaching awards and promotions all require a recapitulation of student evaluations. How valid are they really? Even making comparisons with scores is an unscientific venture. In my own college, awards have gone to those who seldom teach (or even hold walk-in office hours). A professor might be assigned only one course during an entire academic year. Well, that should be a superb class! How do you compare those scores with the instructor spread thin with multiple lab sections in Fall and Spring? How can you compare a teacher who lectures and gives two multiple-choice exams to the instructor who grades 16 weekly lab assignments and provides written, critical comments? Despite the fallacy of student evaluations, I don't expect them to vanish or.change overnight. I'll continue to analyze mine carefully and adjust classes to provide an optimal learning experience. With 13 years of forms to look over, I still cherish one that featured the outline of a hand giving me "the finger" on the comment side. But today, I can't place as much importance on the raw scores. I know some responses have been "Christmas treed" in. I know some colleagues stack the deck when administering evaluations. Since I can't control outside influences, I try to ignore them and seek inspiration from the "thank-you" notes at graduation, the invitations to students' weddings and photographs they email me of new babies. To some faculty members, these symbols of gratitude are the student evaluations that unatter the most. John Freema-t is an associate professor ofjournalismn at UP.

THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 7 Letters to the Editor Dry campus might not be a crazy rumor Editor: With your coverage of the removal of "Drunk Bitch Friday" from the WRUF airwaves over the last few days, it seems the Alligator is showing concern for the possibly unfair and inconsistent policies of President Machen regarding UF's "alcohol problem." Since the review of UF's alcohol policies began, you have had coverage of that and the issue that the administration believes there is a significant problem with drinking on campus. I wonder if the administration is thinking of the fairest way to keep students safe or (unlike your previous opinion) if the Student Government campaign issue of preventing a dry campus is starting to gain legitimacy. Kyle Epting 3LS Agendas ignored socially relevant show Editor: UF President Bernie Machen needs to get a grip on his power trip. In his aim to curb alcohol abuse, Bernie, along with UF's Board of Trustees, cancelled the entertaining and socially informative show, "Drunk Bitch Friday." These actions clearly violate our First Amendment right to free speech, which permits the distribution of knowledge to'aid in people's search for truth. This show holds social substance that informs people of the effects of alcohol and whether they, too, want to be that "drunk bitch." Of course, the show is silly and not all in good taste, but that shouldn't discourage us from protesting censorship. Because Machen's personal values and political agenda do not mesh with Friday's morning show, he has censored what he deems inappropriate. Machen seems to be overstepping his boundaries as president when he imposes his moral judgments that overlook our fundamental rights. His search for "indecency" violations may end in. vain because of the aforementioned social value of the show as well as its lack of sexually explicit material and four-letter words. In a society where alcohol is nationally acceptable as well as an issue of public concern, this show resembles a segment of social commentary that should be available to the public ear. Adrienne Harris 4JM All graduates do have a combined event Editor: I was a little disheartened by Tuesday's cover of the Alligator because of the article "Graduates miss out," which states, UF will have no single event to celebrate the graduation of the class of 2005, after plans to bring a keynote speaker fell through."

8, ALLIGATOR N THURSDAY, APRIL 14,2005 Group studies alcohol culture E THE COMMITTEE IS ONE OF THREE INVESTIGATING STUDENT ALCOHOL ABUSE. By EMILY YEHLE Alligator Writer eyehle@alligator.org Although UF President Benie Machen is spearheading an effort to solve the "serious problem" of students' drinking habits, a committee studying local alcohol culture discussed on Wednesday the need for students to realize most of their peers do not drink excessively. While a UF survey showed that 50 percent of students binge and that 73 percent of students under 21 drink, most students are responsible about alcohol use, said Jess Johnson, a Student Affairs executive assistant. "There was a consensus that the student body probably perceives that drinking is more prevalent than it is," he said of the Wednesday meeting. The survey defined "binge drinking" as taking five or more servings of alcohol in a row. Machen brought the issue to the forefront tlis year by prohibiting alcohol sponsorship at events held in the Stephen C. O'Connell Center, suspending a radio segment and pledging to take alcohol advertisements off UF-owned radio and television programming. The culture committee also is a product of recent concern among administrators about student drinking. It is one of three groups created at a meeting of UF and Gainesville officials in February; the other two focus on alcohol access and enforcement. Eventually, all three will make recommendations as to what is needed to change an environment that seems to encourage students to drink, said Student Activities Director Lohse Beeland, who also is co-chairman of the culture committee. Beeland said she was unsure of when the committees' goals would be met. The committee dealing with access and promotion will have its Machen second meeting today in Reitz Union Room 272 from 3 to 5 p.m. "What we owe the student body is to create an atmosphere where they don't feel pressured to drink," Johnson said. Since it was the culture committee's first meeting, no decisions were made, Beeland said. However, members began to identify what the alcohol culture is now and what it should be. As for Machen's recent moves, Beeland said the committee didn't talk about them. But pulling ads from UF's sports programming was recommended by a Student Affairs alcohol committee to the University Athletic Association a year ago, she said. The culture committee is well on its way to finding other ways to change the drinking culture, Beeland said. "I thought it was extremely productive. I was really impressed with a lot of the comments students had."

When asked what effect "Juiced" will have in the future of steroids and sports, he said he didn't know, but he contended that people actually wouldn't be able to know the real Jose Canseco just by reading .the book. "I don't think anyone's even come close to figuring me out yet. Period," he said. "Maybe I do it on purpose, maybe I don't. We have 15 or 20 individuals here.

THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 9 Future uncertain for UF guards; both may opt out of draft before June DRAF from page 1 think he really knows," Donovan said. "And to me, the best way to find out is to put your name out there and see what kind of feedback you get." Walsh explained his situation in a released statement. "I'm in a unique situation where I feel I have the opportunity to explore this further and collect more information," Walsh said. "I truly love the University of Florida, but I feel I owe it to myself to see where I am right now because it's my dream to be able to play professionally one day". While Walsh is likely just measuring his stock, Roberson has given his coach no such promise. "Anthony has not told me that if he's not a first-round draft pick, he's coming back," Donovan said. "So I think he's probably going to try to look at some stuff." Donovan said that though it's still early to peg Roberson's draft position, the point guard seems to be "on the radar" based on conversations the coach has had with NBA officials. Donovan believes that the draft -status of Roberson, who averaged a Southeastern Conference-best 20.8 points per game in league play, and Walsh, the SEC Tournament MVP, will depend on personal workouts with NBA scouts. The scouts may even travel to Gainesville and use UF's facilities for such evaluations, Donovan said, to lessen the financial impact of travel expenses. "If they don't perform well, and they get feedback that they didn't do well," Donovan said, "I think both guys will probably come back." Roberson's and Walsh's decision to test the NBA Roberson waters came amid reports that prep star Walter Hodge was going to officially sign with the Gators on Wednesday. But as of late Wednesday, the Florida Air Academy guard had yet to officially sign with UF. Though Donovan could not comment on Hodge due to NCAA regulations, he said he's comfortable with his backcourt options for next season. Donovan said guards Taurean Green and Lee Humphrey, combined with signees Derwin Kitchen and David Huertas, should be able to handle the duties. If Hodge signs with the Gators, UF will reach its 13-scholarship limit. But if either Roberson or Walsh enters the draft, the Gators would receive an additional scholarship. .If we have another scholarship available, would we look at somebody? Yeah," Donovan said. "But I'm not going to just go out there and take somebody I'd rather hold on to it and use it after I've been able to evaluate." Campus NOW members accuse former leader Mangan of narrow agenda NOW from page 1 Michelle Paggi said. "We would try to critique her, and she would act like nothing ever happened. The reason we elected all these people is because we wanted to do away with the hierarchy. It was just all the intimidation and pressure on our leadership's part." Paggi said Mangan was only interested in acting on her own personal feminist agenda regarding reproductive rights. Paggi said she believes the group's focus should be broader "It was very, very, very personal," she said. "That's a very important thing to fight for; however, we need to diversify our actions. We haven't done anything for child care." Paggi said Mangan would pressure her and other members into coming to group events. "I've been made to feel guilty because of my part-time job and because I'm a student," Paggi said. Mangan, who also is a UF student, has worked at both the Civic Media Center and the Iguana. Membership Director-elect Havre De Hill said she was "selectively omitted" from receiving e-mails from the organization despite being an official member under Mangan's reign. As a result of conflicts, about five members started meeting at a hotel to.speak about their distaste for the path the group was headed down. Around that time, the dissatisfied members began calling themselves the Pink Panthers, partly because Mangan believes that the color is "oppressive," members said. "It was very hard to speak out against these people. They were very controlling and authoritative. Now that we have a change in the group, we feel that we will be able to work with them. We want to do different actions." Michelle Paggi Campus NOW vice president-elect Despite the feuding, Brown insisted she won the election not only because of Mangan's leadership techniques but also because of her "restrictive" policies and dated views of feminism. "It was an entire leadership style," Brown said, but added, "It was bigger than just our president." Brown said Mangan's insistence on voicing opinions solely about contraception alienated minority women and the gay and transgender community. She said some members were "silenced" by Mangan and told to accept her viewsPaggi added that Mangan was involved in Gainesville Area NOW and Gainesville Women's Liberation, which she said tried to control the student group through Mangan. Mangan "would forward the e-mails to them," she said. "They would all be way too involved with our student group. It was ridiculous. They weren't part of Campus NOW." Paggi said talking to Gainesville Area NOW and Gainesville Women's Lberation was difficult. "It was very hard to speak out against these people," she said. "They were very controlling and authoritative. Now that we have a change in the group, we feel that we will be able to work with them. We want to do different actions." "Elections happen in every campus organization," said Candi Churchill, a member of both Gainesville Area NOW and Gainesville Women's Liberation. "This is an example of The Alligator trying to exploit this issue. Kelly Mangan is a leader in a national movement to win the morning-after pill over the counter and will continue to do great work." Paggi said that although new members were voted into office, the group will share duties "so different people can get a chance to lead the meeting." Brown summed it up in the release. "It was time for Campus NOW to make a new startby including all women and being active towards everyone's issues." She said she still invites Mangan to be a member.

10, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, APRIL 14,2005 Whether a necessity or a crutch, Adderall use grows By ERICA REZNICK Alligator Contributing Writer UF student Danielle Kirsner is no stranger to cramming for final exams. Student This year, the sophomore has Lfe given up coffee and No-Doz for a prescription drug illegally obtained and designed for attention deficit problems. The drug is Adderall, and this pharmaceutical fix is finding a home on UF's campus among students who say the drug increases their concentration and intellectual endurance. "I need it before tests so I can concentrate better," Kirsner said. "It helps me pay attention to what I'm doing and helps me focus in on my material." Some students now depend on Adderall. for their study regimen. "I didn't hear of Adderall until I came to college," Kirsner said. "Now that I've tried it, I don't know how I ever survived without it." At $7 a pill, students can buy the medication from on-campus and off-campus dealers. "I didn't hear of Adderall until I came to college. Now that I've tried it, I don't know how I ever survived without it." Danielle Kirsner UF student "It is really easy to get it," Kirsner said. "People with prescriptions who want to make some money just sell it to their friends." Under pressure to succeed, some students might be more concerned about getting Adderall than the harm it might cause them. "Adderall is an amphetamine and will do everything that a stimulant does," Dr. Richard Levine said. "It will suppress your appetite, make you dizzy, raise blood pressure and can cause heart attacks and strokes." Students abusing the drug put themselves at risk for severe health problems in the future, Levine said. Adderall is -used to treat people with Adult Attention Deficit Disorder who cannot concentrate and jump from topic to topic, Levine said. ."By using something that can highly stimulate them in small doses, it can coordinate that higher-level activity," Levine said. Although Adderall may be overused on campus, there are students who need the medication to curb the symptoms of ADD. "I was diagnosed with ADD this past summer," UF sophomore Megan Roth said. "I don't know how I survived my freshman year of college without Adderall." Roth, along with other students who suffer from ADD, had difficulties concentrating on a specific subject and would constantly lose her train of thought. "Studying was always a frustrating task for me," Roth said. "Instead of reading the material, I would start thinking about random things, like whether or not people would go out that night." Roth said she does not feel comfortable supplying her friends with Adderall. "I don't really like taking it because it makes me depressed, but I also don't like the thought of giving it out to everyone else," Roth said. "I always get offers from people who want to buy from me, but I just don't feel right doing it." The Adderall craze, which is not new, is spreading through campuses nationwide. "I think the trend is terrible and very dangerous," Levine said. "Someone is bound to get hurt." ON CAMPUS MTV to host 'Real World' casting cal at Gator City 'Be vourself staffer says Sports Bar, located at 1728 W University Ave., from 10 By NEIL HUGHES Alligator Writer nhughes@altgator.org This is the true story of one college picked to find cast members for the latest season of "The Real World." Headed into its 17th season, casting directors from the MTV program will be in Gainesville on April 23 to recruit potential stars. "The Real World" is a reality television show that puts seven strangers into a home as roommates, documenting their interactions with each other over a five-month period. The casting call will take place at Gator City Grill and Punishment levied in fraternity foul-up FRATERNITY RECEIVED SOCIAL PROBATION. By KYLIE CRAG Alligator Writer kcraig@aliigator.org 7 S i g m a Alpha Epsilon Praternity was sentenced to two semesters of social probation at a sanctionWilliams ing hearing Wednesday, after being convicted on Student Judicial Affairs charges of holding an unregistered party last month. The fraternity accepted guilt for the alleged wrongdoings, leading to the hearing. Along with social probation, the organization was banned from having alcohol in its chapter house and also must develop a new risk-management program. At the hearing, the fraternity also was ordered to elect a new risk-management officer, who will work with the Dean of Students' Office through the next academic year. Dell Dailey, who will be president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon during its probation year, said he agrees with the punishment given by Student Judicial Affairs. "It's a rude awakening to the Greek system," Dailey said. "With the -university policy, fraternities must change their ways, or we will no longer be here." The exiting Sigma Alpha Epsilon president, Travis Santos, also was pleased with the verdict. "Well, the judicial process has prevailed," he said. The judicial board gave the fraternity a deadline of Sept. 1 for the risk management policy. If the fraternity fails to comply, it will be put on social suspension, which prohibits its members from taking part in homecoming events or hosting any type of social activities with other Greek organizations. Cyrus Williams, dean of Judicial Affairs, said each case in which fraternities are sanctioned is handled differently. "The board doesn't work on precedence and things like that," Williams said. "They try and take each case in its own merit." a.m. to 5 p.m., and is open to anyone ages 18 to 24. Alissa Haight, a casting director for the program, said the program seeks out a wide variety of cast members. "We look for people who are real, who are open, who are honest and who have big personalities," Haight said. "Aside from that, we look for all walks of life." "The Real World" first aired before the explosion in the popularity of reality programming, which Haight said works to the show's advantage. "It's a really positive show, and it allows people an opportunity to learn about people who are different from them," she said. "It's about people living an experience they would otherwise never get to live." The program, produced by Bunim/Murray Productions, has proven to have staying power on television, reigning as the longest-running show on MTV. Despite the ever-growing pool of reality TV star alumni, Haight said the popularity of both "The Real World" and other reality programs in general has not adversely affected its casting methods. ."'The Real World' is a popular show, so we get a lot of candidates every season," she said. "I would say for this show it's probably made it easier (to find cast members.)" For people interested in trying out for the show, Haight's advice is simple: Be yourself. "That's all we're looking for," she said. "For people to show up, be themselves and have a good time. The opencall process is very social."

THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 2005 0 ALLIGATOR, 11 Jury makes robbery conviction Convict blames act on drugs By MEGAN V. WINSLOW Alligator Writer mwinslow@amligator.org It took a jury less than 30 minutes Wednesday to find a Gainesville man guilty of bank robbery. After a mere day-long trial, Alachua County Judge Mary Day Coker sentenced Douglas Griggs to 15 years in prison. But just before she did so, Coker questioned Griggs' choice of venue. "I'm just curious -why did you pick the bank your brother used, the one he cashed your paychecks at?" she said. "I was on so many drugs I was really in a dream world," Griggs said. On the morning of Oct. 12, Griggs, dressed in a green flannel shirt and a dark Caterpillar cap, walked into the Wachovia Bank at 3838 NW 13th St. and slid a note across the counter. "The note said, 'Bank Robbery Have Gun -100.00, 50.00, 20.00 put in bag. Don't [expletive] with me,"' witness Marcia Miller said. After Miller placed $7,070 into the man's black Jansport backpack, he exited thebank and went to the Sunshine Inn down the street to call a cab. Griggs told the taxi driver, Edwin Ricci, to take him a few blocks north. just after Ricci pulled onto Northwest 13th Street, a Gainesville Police officer on the lookout for the robber -a "scruffy white male" drove up beside Ricci and motioned for him to pull over. When Griggs fled, Local the officer told the man 7qU-ts to stop so he might speak withhim. "He looked me straight in the eye and said 'I don't think so,' and walked away, backward," officer John Gates said. Then Griggs ran. Twenty minutes after the robbery, Griggs was arrested. His front pocket contained $900 in cash and a robbery note was fou-md in his wallet. Griggs also wore a gray T-shirt with "Air Force Football" on it, from which "OR" is visible peeking out from the hop of the robber's shirt in stills taken from bank cameras. But this does not mean Griggs committed the crime, defense attorney Curtis Elmore said. "Use your common sense -this is the town with the University of Florida in it, and there are tons of T-shirts with the letters "OR" on them," he said. And though Elmore justified his client's decision to run by saying Griggs thought he was being pursued for a previous trespassing charge, prosecuting attorney Geoffrey Fleck said that assumption is unreasonable. "No, Mr. Griggs fled because he had just stolen $7,000 from a bank," Fleck said. The flannel shirt and a portion of the money were recovered from the backseat of Ricci's cab. According to reports, Griggs told police he robbed the bank in order to pay a drug debt. Before Coker announced his sentence, Griggs apologized and expressed a need for drug treatment. "I've been sorry about it for the last six months I've been in jail," he said. "I'm sorry for the victim and I'm sorry for the bank."

12, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, APRIL 14,2005 o CAumpePmS Forum panel examines victims' rights By LINDSAY TAULBEE Alligator Writer Itaulbee@aligator.org Speaking to a mostly female audience Wednesday, three panelists raised questions and encouraged students to form their own opinions on issues that included women's rights, victims' rights and human rights. Vox: Voices for Planned Parenthood sponsored the panel discussion, entitled "Speak Up, Speak Out!" in the Reitz Union Rion Ballroom. Tanja van der Veen, a victim advocate with the University Police Department's Office of Victim Services, spoke about sexual assault and victims' rights to the group of about 25. "A lot of times, people aren't really aware that this is reality for a lot of people," she said. She cited statistics from several sources, noting that exact figures are hard to come by. Some victims don't think their experiences fit the definition of sexual assault, and others simply choose not to report the crime, she said. "That number 'four' you might see on the UPD Web site is virtually meaningless," van der Veen said of crime statistics. One in four women and one in six men, for example, will be victims of sexual abuse during their lifetimes. Also, when college women are victimized, 90 percent of the time it's by someone they know, and 90 percent of the time it occurs in a residence, she said. This debunks the stereotype of sexual assault coming from a stranger in a dark alley or parking garage, she said. "It's happening in places where people live, where people feel safe, where people feel comfortable," she said. Van der Veen also spoke about alcohol and its role in sexual assault. Sarah Kovner, a visiting UF assistant history professor, spoke about human trafficking in Japan and issues that surround it, including U.S. pressure on Japan to enact laws against it. The Japanese government is attempting to crack down on the practice so the United States and other countries will view it in a better light, she said. However, attempts by the Japanese government to create stricter laws against human trafficking have met with public outcry from media, lawmakers, business people and the public. "A lot of people are making a lot of money out of this," she said. She posed several questions to the audience for personal consideration, including whether or not the United States has the right to intervene. Trysh Travis, a professor in the department of women's studies, spoke of a recent panel she attended that addressed women in politics and how it made her question the role of feminism in younger generations. Though women outnumbered their male counterparts 2-to-1, the men asked twice as many questions. When questions were addressed to the female panelists, the male panelists frequently would chime in, she said. "The audience was kind of allowing the older white men to run the show," she said. During the question-and-answer session, one student observed that women often are less assertive. Travis urged students to consider consequences women face for speaking up. "You might be burned as a witch, as many women have been. You might be called a femi-Nazi, as I have been." Tanja van der Veen, victim advocate for University Police, talks to students about victims' advocacy and sexual assault Wednesday night.

14, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAYAPRIL14, 2o05 PLAYLIST Atlantic to serve Spam By COLIN MCCANDLESS Avenue Writer The Atlantic serves up the delicious canned beat sensations of Miami's DJ Le Spam and the Spam Allstars, back by popular demand on Friday, April 22. Umm, you like Spam. DJ Le Spam has planted the seeds of a harmonic crop and cultivated a sultry musical hybrid that fuses electronic elements and turntables with Latin, funk and hip-hop. The band's melodies illustrate the myriad influences of salsa, reggae, African dance, jazz and gospel music that imbue their tracks and inspire their jams. The combination of genres the group has harvested yields an eclectic sound appealing to divergent tastes. In order to sow such diverse grooves, the members of the Spam Allstiars incorporate a wide variety of instruments into their songs. Their current line-up is comprised of seven people: DJ Le Spam (Andrew Yeomanson) who spins turntables and samplers, Tomas Diaz on timbales, AJ Hill and Steve Welsh work the saxophones, John Speck plays trombone, Mercedes Abal handles flute and Adam Zimmon strums guitar. The group merges these different elements together flawlessly, producing aesthetic musical pieces receiving critical acclaim from reviews in Rolling Stone, Newsweek and the Washington Post. The band has appeared on "Good Morning America," "CBS This Morning" and NPR's "All Things Considered." In addition, DJ Le Spam and the Spam Allstars won a Latin Grammy in 2003 for Explore ,, 4 i3 Q<4( ofI Open 377-3117 Mon-Sat 3739 W Unis. Ass M10Across from 10-8 Royal Park Sunday Cinemas 1. W P NOW OPEN their third album "Fucata Live," a record originally mixed outside the studio. Their tour dates reflect a growing popularity, including shows in New York, New Orleans and Atlanta and a recent appearance at the Langerado Music Festival in Sunrise, Fla., along with String Cheese Incident and Umphrey McGee. DJ Le Spam and the Spam Allstar's chemistry and improvisation contribute to their touring success and rise to recognition. Their motley mix of styles converges skillfully on stage, creating unique and engaging live performances. They rocked The Atlantic twice already earlier this year, playing sets that electrified and energized the elbow-to-elbow crowd. DJ Le Spam just released a fourth album in 2004, their first studio effort to date, entitled "Spam Allstars Contra Los Roboticos Mutantes." Don't miss your chance to see an accomplished national act in an intimate atmosphere when DJ Le Spam and the Spam Allstars return to The Atlantic, situated at 15 N. Main St. Like Taco Bell, this multi-layered musical burrito is available cheap (7 bones at the door) and late (doors open at 10 p.m., shows usually start around 11:30 p.m. and lest until 2 em.).

"Godspell," the musical story time that plays out vignettes of the Gospel, graces the Gainesville Community Playhouse Second Stage. Unlike any other musical, "Godspell" mixes script with role playing, leaving a lot of room for improvisation. This performance really takes its creative liberties, making an even more enjoyable show for the audience. What's great about "Godspell" is it's an ensemble piece. Everyone is important, because there are no leads -well, besides Jesus. Each individual character brings something special to the stage, yet together, the characters are An energetic unit. Every role-playing scenario showcases a different actor's voice or personality. For such a small-scale performance, the actors were very gifted vocally, really showcasing what talent the Gainesville community has to offer. Hits such as "Day by Day" had audience members tapping their toes and singing along with every note. Rudy Lurz's portrayal of Jesus. However, was a little perplexing. I understand that Jesis, in terms of this play, is supposed to be a kind-hearted, gentle soul that leads the ensemble in preaching his ways. Lurz, however, was calm, really calm. Calm enough that I was wondering what he was doing to pre-game before the performance. It almost seemed as if the show was one place, and whatever was going on in Jesus' mind was somewhere else. It was interesting to watch such animated characters follow this hemp-necklace-wearing Jesus, who seemed to be Heather Berger playing a Grateful Curtain Call Dead album in his theavenue@alligator org head throughout the play. OK, I will not make fun of him anymore -the ensemble was good enough to completely forget about what Jesus was babbling on about. Maureen Demers chose to direct this play in a modem setting, using colorful, everyday garb for the costumes and a street alley for the background. It was a change from the retro version of this show I've witnessed in the past. The modern look really proved that, no matter what setting, the words of "Godspell" are applicable always. As my last review of the year, I would just like to say how great it's been to get a taste of entertainment around Gainesville. Some shows made me want to cry with joy, while some made me want to cry from the misery of watching. I apologize for anything negative I have written -I am no expert, but I always call it like I see it. "Godspell" was a blessing as my last show for the year. Showtimes are Wednesday through Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. The show will run until April 23, and tickets can be purchased at Omni Book Store or at the door. aIt's AH Happening at the HIPP! ~5OFFJ Oil Change The Well-Oiled Machine For More information log onto: www.jiffylubesoutheast.com -4N EIPODROME TAETHEATREHIPPODROME MAINSTAGE PREVIEWS TONIGHT' 1C7 "Tropics burns with 4A1-1 fiery passion." -Chicago Sun-Times 0 PI APR 15 -MAY 8.

THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 2005-0 ALLIGATOR, 15 CURTAIN CALL 'Grease' to rock socks By BRETT KELMAN Avenue Writer Grab your favorite Pink Lady and travel back to when beehives were in and coifs were cool. "Grease," one of Broadway's longest running musicals, will slide into town in a brand new show at the Curtis M. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. with a full cast of bobby-socked girls and hotrod-loving boys. The show, complete with drive-in passion pits, sock hops and hubcap stealing, will be brought by Phoenix Productions and fill the Phillips Center with classic '50s rock 'n' roll. Additionally, three hit songs from the movie version of "Grease" will be performed on stage for the first time including "Hopelessly Devoted to You," "You're the One That I Want" and Barry Gibb's "Grease." Front orchestra and mezzanine tickets will cost $50. Mid-orchestra, rear orchestra and balcony seats will cost proportionately less. Student tickets are available with valid Gator 1 for $10 and can be bought for anywhere in the Center. "Grease" is the story of Danny Zuko, king of the Burger Palace Boys, and Sandy Dumbrowski, the whole, some, naive and pretty transfer student whose life changes forever after meeting the tough-yet-vulnerable Rizzo, leader of the Pink Ladies gang. Direction is by Ray DeMattis and choreography by Christopher Gattelli. The show is being sponsored by 98.5 KTK & News/Talk 97.3 The SKY, Wachovia and WCJB TV-20. Phoenix Productions, led by producers Stephan Kane and Michael McFadden, also was responsible -for bringing their first touring season of Smokey Joes Cafe to Gainesville and the Phillips Center. For more information on the show or ticket purchasing, check out www.performingarts.ufl.edu or visit the Phillips Center box office. Side Bar to raise Voices By KEELEY MCCARTY Avenue Writer Voice of the People sounds almost too good to be straight out of Gainesville. It's feel-good hip-hop: not what you'd listen to on the way to the club but maybe at home drinking with friends on a Sunday night. Messenger and Etch1ne spit the hiphop verses, and Laurie Pierre and Lauren Shure provide jazzy vocals on several tracks, breaking the inevitable monotony of rap. The Gainesville group formed around February2004 and just finished its first album, "What We're Feeling," which is being independently released. Original member Pierre recently left the group due to creative differences, and Voice of the People gained a full band of two guitarists, a bassist and a drummer. "I don't want to just do hip-hop that you could listen to on the radio," says Hector Galvez, alias Etch1ne. Galvez says with the back-up instrumentals, he hopes the music will appeal to a wider audience. Galvez is a third-year political science major, and his "partner in rhyme," Marley Montano, aka The Messenger, works at Market Street Pub and produces music in his home studio. Voice of the People's music is fresh and uplifting. It steers away from the stereotypical rap subjects and focuses on emotions and issues that are important to the group. And good luck finding a word of profanity in the album -it's clean. "I basically catch a beat and try to write a poem, that says how it makes me feel," Galvez says. Voice of the People will perform Saturday at The Side Bar as part of The House of Hip-Hop, sponsored by Myspace.com. The show starts at 10 p.m. and costs $7. "What We're Feeling" will be available to purchase next week for $2.

16, ALLIGATOR E THURSDAY, APRIL 14,2005 'Born into Brothels' captures pain in photographs P hotographs are powerful things. They have the power to draw you in, to make you feel what someone in the picture is feeling, to take you out of the world you know and throw you into whatever the camera captured. "Born into Brothels" is about pictures with this power, pictures taken by a group of young children living in the dark world of Calcutta's redlight district. In 1998, co-director of the documentary and New York photojournalist Zana Briski, ventured into that world, living with prostitutes in a filthy maze of death, sexual abuse and poverty. While she had originally traveled to India to document the lives of the women who lived in this darkness, it was their children who immediately embraced and inspired her. They were fascinated by her and her camera, and when she taught them how to use it, an idea dawned upon her. Though she still took pictures, she handed down her gift of photography to these children, the sons and daughters of prostitutes. She gave point-andshoot cameras to a small group Angle De Angelis of her most At the H i e p eager stup dents and theavenue@ahigator.org sent them to capture the harsh realities of the inescapable nightmare of life in the brothels. In 2000, Briski sought the help of documentary editor Ross Kauffman. Together they created a film that follows the extraordinary group of budding photographers through a world unlike anything we can relate to. What makes this documentary beautiful and heartbreaking is that it's all told through the children. It's their stories, their lives, their cameras that capture the images of hopelessness and tragedy. It's not all sad, though. This documentary educates and inspires, proving that heroism can take any form. In this case, photography was the hero and the light in the otherwise bleak lives of children who at an early age had already come to accept life as painful and without hope. If you've ever relived a moment in a picture, if you've ever been moved by something frozen on film, if you've ever felt the power of a picture, go see this documentary. Winner of the 2005 Academy Award for best documentary feature, "Bom into Brothels" opens Friday at Gainesville's Hippodrome State Theatre. For show times and tickets, contact the Hippodrome at 375-HIPP or online at www.thehipp.org. i E T C A r 4 2 6 -" 1. --___ ___ Barbecue David's Real Pit BBQ Voted #1 in Gainesville and listed in "Where the Locals Eat" as best place in Gainesville for Ribs & BBQ.

But sometimes, you can at least get him to taste it. For the most part, men love heading down south so much they need to be reminded to come up for air. And yes, occasionally, there are those who go straight for the main event without ever introducing their face to your vertical lips (I like to call these guys useless). If your guy is truly put-off by yodeling in the valley, there's not much you can do other than pin him down and sit on his face. But my guess is he's just unsure of what he's doing. Jump Your Assure him your Bones Jones vagina doesn't Undercovers bite (if it does, you undercovers20D5@yahoo.com might want to get that checked out). Tell him how much you enjoy being eaten out and that you're willing to talk him through it. It'll be a lot less intimidating for him if he's .receiving a little coaching, just don't go overboard (a whistle usually isn't a good idea). There's an abundance of resources both on the Internet and in bookstores abopt how to orally gratify a female. Encourage your man to educate himself, or go ahead and outright give him a book on the subject (don't forget to highlight the good parts). Heck, feel free to write your own sex manual complete with illustrations. It won't be long before your crotctia treated like an all-you-can-eat buffet.

28,ALLIGATORE THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 2005 JUMPBALL Columnists weigh in on possible annual matchup with Hurricanes A the winner of the "Be Athletics Director For A Day" giveaway, your agenda is loaded. You, Mr. Jeremy Foley, need to inject Anthony Roberson with reality serum. And then there's that 50-year extension you need to Concorde to Urban Meyer's villa. But there's one issue much more relevant than either of these quandaries. Duck or tortillas? -.Assruing the NCAA agrees to add a 12th game to the Division I football schedule, you need to choose between playing Miami or playing in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. That's the exact dilemma Foley and the Gators will probably face in the near future. UF's faithful has been itching for a yearly stab at the Hurricanes, but do they want to scratch a green and orange rash of continued embarrassment? Fans want to annihilate Florida State and Miami every season. Yeah, and I'd like Shaq to play 'til he's 60. And have him teach me how to dunk. Sure, everyone can dream, but Gator Nation needs to fasten its collective head to its reptilian neck. By agreeing to play Miami every season, the Gators would be willingly checking off on the most difficult schedule in college football. The SEC will always provide its teams with one of -the nation's most challenging schedules. And with Miami joining FSU in the Atlantic Coast Conference, UF and FSU will boast the nation's fiercest non-conference rivalry. That alone ensures that the Gators will always draw one of the toughest schedules. Add Miami and UF's strength of schedule would break the Richter scale. For no good reason, either. Just look at what Southern Califonia did last season. Playing powerhouses like Colorado State, Brigham Young and a bevy of PAC-10 Pop Warner teams, the Trojans Louis Anastasis Louis in the Bullpen Ianastasis@aligator.org won the title. The Gators will always field a tougher slate of games than USC. So according to the Pythagorean Theorem and a dash of common sense, you can deduct the following: If UF adds a mediocre team to its 2006 schedule and wins out, they'll be doing the salsa in Tempe, Ariz. For some, the mere thought of playing Miami every season is reason enough to schedule the Hurricanes. But face Miami and FSU every year, combined with Georgia, Tennessee and Co. and you've got-a recipe for several dramatic losses. Not convinced? How excited were you to play Miami when Willis McGahee rushed for 204 yards in a 41-16 Swamp beating in 2002? How enthused were you to play Miami when the Canes scored 28 unanswered points to flush the Gators out of the Orange Bowl in 2003? But maybe you're still not convinced. If so, ask the Gators' fans who attended the 2003 game if they enjoy playing Miami. My roommates can testify to one UF fan whose skin was spray-painted orange and green by a herd of intoxicated Hurricanes' nuts. And that's definitely not an exception. So why not schedule the Hurricanes twice every four years? That way you can mtmch on a healthy mix of duck and tortillas. Or sugar. Or oranges. Or roses. So visit with Peep. Acquire Meyer's John Hancock. Have your duck. You can always watch the Fiesta Bowl from Gainesville. Ive heard it before -UF plays in the toughest conference in football. The Gators can't possibly roll through the grueling SEC and play rivals Florida State and Miami every year. That sounds like loser talk to me. You see, my esteemed colleague Louis is a Romanian raised in Kansas. Since he grew up in tornadoes and cornfields instead of the Florida sun, he doesn't understand the blood and guts behind the UF-Miami rivalry. Once upon a time, the state of Florida, second to none in football, crowned a state champion every year. There was never a question which team was best in the state, because everyone played each other. And while there were some nice chapters to the UF-Florida State rivalry nothing compared to the nasty history between the.Gators and the Hurricanes. UF fans may despise the Seminoles, and vice versa, but there's still some semblance of a friendly rivalry. .UF folk call FSU fans stupid and uneducated while FSU fanatics call UF fans dorks and girly frat boys wearing the unappealing combination of orange and blue. But in the end, everyone downs about a dozen beers and makes cracks about, that's right, the Hurricanes. Everybody hates Miami. This is the same team that once landed in Tempe for the Fiesta' Bowl dressed in camouflage, ready to wage chemical warfare on Penn State. This is the same team that has the weakest fanbase in the state but still manages to land the biggest recruits. This is the same team that signed Willie Williams. Enough said. There are so many reasons to despise Miami. Florida State gets to do something about it. The Gators? Well, Urban, assuming you're still around these parts, I think you're tentatively scheduled to play Miami in 2008. .in Tampa? What sort of wacky world is this? UF players have the right Andrew to face Miami every Abramson year, a grand bash in Drew's Control the Orange Bowl or aabramson@aligator.org the Swamp. UM and UF players can't grow a true hatred toward one another if they only face the opponent once in their career. UF, Miami and FSU's rosters are full of players who chose one school over the other. You think the Gators have forgotten Willie's Wild Visit to Gainesville in 2004? Don't you think the Gators want to put a beat-down on Miami and show Mr. Williams what could have been? If you still think it would be too darn tough for UF to permanently add Miami to the schedule, chew on this: the best teams in the nation should face the best. For all of you out there (Louis, you included) who, are ready to send UF to the Rose Bowl to face Southern California for the national championship, you obviously have plenty of confidence in the Gators. So with your logic, Miami should be a mere roadblock, a hated rival about to experience the wrath of Urban and the gang. When Steve Spurrier took the Gators' Oath of Office on Dec. 31, 1989, he proclaimed that UF must face Miami and FSU every year. If you flipped to the back of today's Alligator and saw the Top 10 Moments in UF Sports History, you'll know it's wise to take Steve's advice., To tel us who made themostconvincingargument, ,1gm6 to altigatorsports org and castyoar vote.

THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 2005 E ALLIGATO*, 29 Slower but steady delivery gives O'Day hope for Major League Draft O'DAY, from page 31 Mom's. That's from years of conditioning, being in trouble." UF coach Pat McMahon graduated from the same high school as O'Day, Jacksonville Bishop Kenny. McMahon was drafted out of high school by the New York Mets, but opted to play in college first. O'Day didn't have that choice. In fact, he was a walk-on at UF. McMahon has been pleasantly surprised with O'Day's performance, despite having to redshirt his freshman year. "He came to us and tried on," McMahon Tim Casey/ Alligator Relief pitcher Darren O'Day has more on his mind than just pitching: An aspiring veterinarian, O'Day also tends to a saltwater fish tank. said. "At the time, we had a lot of numbers of arms. We'had to make a move to take baseball away from him for a year, but he worked in the summer and worked very hard. "I was so proud of him coming back out, and he made the ball club and has become an integral part to our pitching staff, and that's to his credit." But, how does a pitcher who wasn't offered a scholarship out of high school end up being trusted to pitch in the most crucial parts of a game? "Where a lot of people shy away, where adversity sets in, they end up quitting and wanting to run," McMahon said. "Not Darren O'Day. He stepped in there and has done a tremendous job for us. I'm so proud of him." O'Day's fastball tops out at 88 mph. His slider embarrassed many opposing batters this season. As a sidearm pitcher, he looks like the prototype middle reliever you would see in the big leagues. "I'm not going to light the radar gun up, but I can get guys out," O'Day said. "I think lately there's been more of a trend; some teams are drafting on results. They still like guys that can throw 95 [mph], but teams like the [Oakland] A's are taking people that can get batters out even if they don't light the radar gun up. That's encouraging for guys like me." O'Day is eligible for the MLB Draft in June. He knows that scouts are in attendance at most of the games he's pitched, and they could call him at season's close. "If that comes along, it's a great opportunity, and I'll definitely pursue it," O'Day said. "But I always have my backup plan, so I'm not going to depend on [baseball]. I definitely want to pursue it, give it a try, see how far it goes. O'Day has plenty of confidence that he can succeed at any level of baseball. "I see these-guys pitching in the major leagues that throw like me, same kind of pitcher as me," O'Day said. "I think, 'Mrrn, I could do that.' Even if it is just to pitch one or two outs a game every other day, I'd love that life. It's always been a dream of mine to play in the major leagues." Looking at O'Day's statistics, there isn't much to criticize. The number that might have room for improvement is his fielding percentage. O'Day committed two errors Tast season, and remembers each play vividly. "That's one of the things I pride myself on, is holding the runners close," O'Day said. "The pickoff at second base, it was just a total lack of thought by me. It was at Tennessee. I read too much into [shortstop Justin] Tordi on the pickoff. I thought he was going to the base, and I just threw it into center field. It was such a stupid mistake that I made, it was at a crucial point in the game, at a crucial game in the season. I won't forget that. That's what you gotta do to learn from it." While he has a photographic memory in the classroom and on the field, he has also learned to put mistakes in the past. "The biggest part of closing is failure," O'Day said. "You have to learn how to put it behind you.I'm not [L.A. Dodgers closer] Eric Gagne. I'm not going to save 71 games in a row. You have to be able to put it behind you, and go out there the next time and get the job done. "You gotta learn from it. You think about what you could have done different, but if you -feel like you did your best, you just tell yourself, 'That guy was better than me that day, and I'll be better than him today."' "You remember the failures, that's for sure, but you also remember the good times," O'Day said. y t There are plenty of good times to come. INSURANCE "Students need Health Insurance.

30,7LLIGATOR E THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 2005 Rehab center opens door to athletes By NICK ZACCARDI Alligator Writer The NFL is invading Gator Country. The Miami Dolphins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Jacksonville Jaguars won't be playing at the Swamp anytime soon, but the teams could employ the resources of the acclaimed UF sports medicine program. -Players would only be sent to Gainesville at the discretion of team doctors to seek diagnosis rather than actual treatment or longterm rehabilitation, said Dr. Peter Indelicato, UF sports medicine division chief. "We just have an unwritten understanding that if they want to send their athletes to us for second opinions, then we'd be more than happy to accommodate them as best as we can," he said. "We've got a national and, in my particular case, an international reputation in sports medicine." Indelicato's standing in the medical community, combined with his NFL experience, has led Joseph Diaco, Tampa Bay team physician, to Gainesville. "Pete Indelicato's one of the finest surgeons in the United States, as far as sports medicine is concerned," Diaco said. "He was the team physician with the Miami Dolphins, so I have gotten to know Pete very well over the years." But as far as the recently-opened $25 million UF Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute is concerned, Diaco doesn't foresee sending Buccaneers players 'to Gainesville to utilize it. "I think it's more amenable to former [UF] players in the draft that want to go back there and take advantage of that," Diaco said. That's where Indelicato's duties as the University Athletic Association head team physician kick in. "We have a high-tech motion analysis lab here," Indelicato said. "We can use hightech graphics to evaluate a golfer's swing or a pitcher's throwing motion or a tennis player's serve." But, for Indelicato, football has recently become his priority. Several UF football players have already taken a sneak peek at the institute, including freshman defensive end Javier Estopinan, freshman defensive lineman Brandon Daniel and sophomore defensive tackle Marcus "They determine whether or not he is really recovered from the injury to the point where he is very unlikely to encounter the same problem again." Dr. Peter Indelicato UF sports medicine division chief Thomas. Indelicato is working with Estopinan to help him recover from a tom anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, suffered during a running drill. He and other physicians at the institute operated on Estopinan's knee during Spring Break. "He'll be doing physical therapy," Indelicato said. "Some of it will be done here [at the institute], and some of it will be done at the training room at the south end zone. But I think the value is the convenience and the availability of clinical resources under one roof [at the institute] that relate to sports medicine." Estopinan said he's already on the road to recovery 1g I ,%9 A% "The rehab center has done a great job getting me off my feet," he said. "I'm already walking. I'm making great progress." Indelicato expects Estopinan to spend approximately nine hours per week in training and rehabilitation, and Estopinan has no problem with that. "The more time the better," the linebacker said. "I go every day, and I think that's what helps you get on the field the fastest. And it's working." The five-month-long rehab takes place over a series of steps, Indelicato said. "The process first involves regaining the motion in their knee," he said. "Then we do some early strength training, but after about six weeks we do some aggressive strength training." That's where the road to recovery reaches a curve. Before the comeback is complete, the 6-foot-1, 241-pound Estopinan must train under water. "He has the benefit of the activity without the negative effects of body weight," Indelicato said. "We have him exercise in sometimes chest-deep water on a treadmill type of device." Throughout the process, the institute's staff will use about seven high-speed digital cameras to monitor deficiencies invisible to the naked eye. "They determine whether or not he is really recovered from the injury to the point where he is very unlikely to encounter the same problem again," Indelicato said. And perhaps nobody is a bigger fan of the institute than Coach Urban Meyer. "Coach Meyer is impressed with the institution over there," Estopinan said. "He thinks it's amazing. He thinks it's the best thing at the university for athletes." .4, GIRV BALLS, from page 31 They do have their culpability in the rampant disease that is steroid abuse in the game. There is a bigger issue to address -these organizations are part of the problem when it comes to Major League Baseball and all those players that want to emulate their favorite players and make it to the big leagues. There is a far greater evil when it comes to steroids and virtually every other illegal drug pervading our society -it is those who will gladly deal death to kids for greed, hiding behind the false guise that they are just "giving people what they want." If we really want to shut down the use of steroids both in sport and among kids who just want to look big, we can't just increase testing in our schools and professional leagues. While these things are necessary, they cannot stop use completely, as the drug makers will stay ahead of the testers. We must make a statement to our government that places like the fake pharmacies in Mexico, whose gateways are both the border and the Internet, must be shut off. While the topic right now is steroids, this goes for any other drug that can destroy lives. This of course does not apply to those who are prescribed steroids by a competent doctor for a variety of ailments. This also does not discount the fault of those who choose to take steroids or other drugs themselves. The point is, real change will not occur, especially in baseball, with testing alone. We don't need Canseco to tell us that.

Sports THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.Qrg Pitcher has perfect GPA By TIM CASEY Alligator Writer tcasey@aligator.org Darren O'Day isn't the stereotypical jock. When the junior said he chose UP over Florida State because he wanted to get an education, he was serious. What attracted him to Gainesville was a specific academic program that wasn't available in Tallahassee. While the joke is that jocks at competition schools major in underwater basket weaving so they can coast through college, O'Day came to UF for a very challenging major, animAl biology. He sports a 4.0 GPA. And a 1.27 ERA. One month ago, O'Day was named College Sports Television's Student-Athlete of the Week. Last season, he was named CoSIDA Academic AllDistrict III and was a member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll. "That's a big part of being here," O'Day said. "You gotta be real. I mean, maybe one percent gf college baseball players get to play in the majors for an extended period of time." This isn't the kind of talk you hear from a player who is named to a national watch list for the nation's top college closer. "I gotta have a backup plan," O'Day said. "That's what I'm trying to do while I'm here, is maximize my education, get a good one, and go on to make some money, if baseball doesn't work out." He says he always wanted to be a veterinarian, but is now weighing medical school versus vet school. "I've always liked reading about animals and interacting with them," O'Day said. "I think it's one of the best professions you can get into." At school, he has a saltwater fish tank, which he admits to neglecting. It's uiderstandable, though. He's got bigger things on his mind -like 5,000 hostile fans when he's trying to close a tight game. "It's awesome," O'Day said. "The crowd aspect, you can't pay attention to them. The only voice I've ever heard when I'm on the mound is my SEE O'DAY, PAGE 29 Relief pitcher Darren O'Day enjoys a 1.27 ERA, lowest among UF hurlers with at least 10 innings pitched, in addition to boasting a 4.0 GPA. SOFTBALL Gators unable to complete USF sweep E UF HAD TAKEN TWO GAMES FROM THE BULLS EARLIER IN THE SEASON, BUT LOST WEDNESDAY. STAFF REPORT Playing without star Lindsey Cameron for much of the game, the Gators had no chance. The No. 15 UF softball team (32-11, 114 Southeastern Conference) fell to South Florida 5-2 at the USF Softball Stadium in Tampa. The Gators had dealt the Bulls (29-20, 6-5 Conference USA) two losses earlier this season. UF's offense became stagnant throughout the game as only two Gators recorded multiple hits. UF as a team collected just eight hits, with three coming in the final inning. That doesn't come as much of a surprise considering that Cameron, UF's top offensive weapon, did not start. Cameron did pinch-run in the fourth inning, however. Catcher Michelle Diaz led UF's offense, going 2 for 3 with a triple and a stolen base. USF third baseman Krista Holle led the Bulls' offense with a 3-for-3, one RBI performance. The Bulls placed UF in an unenviable hole early. Holle, the second batter of the game, crushed a Mandy Schuerman offering over the left field fence. Then, with two outs in the inning, a Carly Griffin single to left field scored Tiffany Stewart, giving the Bulls a 2-0 advantage. The Gators would answer in the second inning when Savana Kelly batted in teammate Stacie Pestrak. The Gators never seemed to muster enough comebacks to compete, however. Schuerman picked up the loss for UF. Stacey Stevens, who relieved Schuerman, pitched 4.2 innings and surrendered two runs while striking out eight. The Gators' pitching staff combined to walk a total of four Bulls. The Gators will return to action this weekend when they host a three-game series against No. 7 Tennessee. The Gators and the Volunteers will be battling for second place in the SEC Eastern Division. Top of the Class U 1976: After trailing 3-0 early in the game, the UF baseball team scores four fourthinning runs to defeat Stetson 10-8. It was only the Gators' second win in their last 10 games. Nick Belmonte led the Gators with 3 hits and 5 RBI. E UF starting pitcher Alan Horne will be the focus of a segment on SEC-TV, a 30 minute Southeastern Conference magazine program. Columnist tackles steroids t's the end of an era. That's right, this is the last installment of Girv Balls. Before you break into tears, let me first tell you this is not going to be one of those farewell-type, best-of-tenure kind of columns. I hate those. So enjoy the last run. I was reminded Wednesday evening of the movie "Liar Liar," when Jim Carrey's character is being dragged out screaming after he was held in contempt of Gregg Girvan court: Throwing Girv Balls "I'm Jose ggirvan@allgator.org C anseco I'M JOSE CANSE CO!" I was reminded, of course, because Canseco was at the O'Connell Center promoting his book "Juiced" and the newfound cause of battling against MLB and their players union. While many would see Canseco's visit to Gainesville as a shameless part of his book promotion tour, and while Canseco's speech abilities need some improvement (I was taught this last semester in class to make eye contact and not read), and while the speechturned into a sideshow during the Q & A, he did bring semething to light in his comments, at least indirectly. You see, Canseco sees the players union and the MLB hierarchy as obstructers to the truth, and, well, kind of evil. They would have continued on the same path had Congress not stepped in. And all of this is true to an extent.
