GRAD AFFAIRS
Graduate students choose new health plan
Proposal benefits most students
By JEFF SIRMONS
Alligator Writer
jsirmons@alligator.org
Prices for graduate student health insur-
ance will rise for most students, but those stu-
dents, who conduct about 40 percent of UF's
research, will not be affected equally.
The Student Government Health Insurance
Commission voted Thursday to switch to a
system that would put a greater payment bur-
den on graduate students aged 26 to 30.
All other graduate students benefit from
the switch because their payment increase
through the Gainesville-based Scarborough
Insurance is lower under the adopted pro-
posal than if another plan were selected.
For example, a 40-year-old graduate stu-
dent, who arguably needs insurance the most
and typically pays the most for it, would pay
the same as a 26-year-old starting this Fall.
"We tried to find the best possible plan that
helps out the most people," Chairman Joshua
Aubuchon said. "Scarborough Insurance has
done a great job working with us to create the
best deal."
Under the new plan, 70 percent of gradu-
ate students benefit from the switch; however,
some students opposed the approved plan.
"The Graduate Assistants United felt the .
flat-rate plan provided a fair rate for all stu-
dents," GAU co-president Victor Romano said.
"The option selected was a mixed bag that re-
ally benefited only the older age bracket."
Under the flat-rate plan, all graduate stu-
dents would have paid $1,420 for coverage.
Graduate students will pay either $1,262 or
$1,588, depending on their age, under the ap-
proved proposal.
Even if the GAU-favored flat-rate plan was
selected, GAU would have continued to fight
for better coverage, he added.

UAA usurps student lots
* THE PARKING SPACES ARE USED
TO HOST GATOR BOOSTERS.
By DAVID COHEN

dcohen@alligator.org
Next Fall, when the renovated Murphree
Hall reopens, its students could be towed for
legally parking there all in the interests of
Gator Spirit.
The University Athletic Association pays
a yearly fee to Finance and Administration to
supply parking for 6,000 of its Gator Boosters,
who help fund academic scholarships for UF
athletes, during home football events.
"We contribute to [UF's] operating fund for
parking lots, in general, so that we have use
of them for football game day," said Melissa
Stuckey, assistant athletic director for IAA
Operations & Facilities. "We move [the car] so
it's not in a reserved space, at no cost to [the
owner]. It's not moved, it's relocated."
That means even if UF students or faculty
members with valid decals are legally parked
in these select areas and are not members of
the organization, they are towed, though at no
expense of their own.
Stuckey said her organization has been-
paying $200,000 every year for the past five
years for the space_- but UF Business Services
'Director Jim Morgan quoted the figure at.
$300,000.:
Student Nevertheless, residents of
Life the Murphree Area, which is
composed of the five dormitories
located closest to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, do
not appreciate the situation.
Many of them park their vehicles in the Red-
1 lots that abut Murphree Hall on its north and
south sides, both of which are taken o'. .r bh tilh
UAA during home games.
The UAA also reserves the orange faculty
parking lots west of Murphree Hall, along with
other areas on campus.

Vigil honors violence victims
By MEGAN V. WINSLOW
Alligator Writer
mwinslow@alligator.org
Cupping her hand around a
slender white candle, Bridget Desue
stood with her face to the wind and
attempted to protect the tiny flame
that represented her slain brother.
Desue was one of about 60 other
community members who gathered
Thursday to honor victims and sur-
vivors with a candlelight vigil.
As the sun went down over the
memorial gardens of Squirrel Ridge
Park, friends and families of victims
and representatives from various
victim advocacy groups across the
county formed a circle' of support
and listened as poems were read
and words of hope were shared.
Ten years ago today, Desue's
brother Dwan Christopher was
choked and shot to death as he slept.
For years his family and friends
have attended the yearly event to re-
member his life, and comfort others
who have lost loved ones.
"You can help a person it just hap-
pened to," said Betty Irving, Desue's
aunt. "You can support them and be
there for them because you know
how it is. And the park it's a won-
derful place. It helps, it really does."
Under a canopy of trees, the
garden contains flowers planted in
honor of victims, benches baring
their names, and an area commemo-
rating the 1990 student murders.
Fold-up tables were set up where
attendees could paint small tiles to
commemorate victims.
Many were landscapes with
words like "hope" and "peace."
Others read "Miss you, Connie,"
and "In honor of Beverly."
The tiles are expected to become
part of a movable display that will
be showcased within the Alachua
County Courthouse and other loca-
tions around Gainesville.
Assistant State Attorney Marc
Peterson attended the event along
with many other representatives
from the State Attorney's Office.
"When a violent crime happens,
it seems to me, all the attention gets
placed on the defendant, their trial

Violence Candlelight Vigil.
and nobody really remembers the
victim other than the family," he
said. "It allows people to remember
that there are victims and families
that have lost loved ones."
The vigil was sponsored by
Peaceful Paths, the Alachua County
Child Advocacy Center and the
victim service units of the Alachua
County Sheriff's Office, State
Attorney's Office, University of
Florida and Alachua County.
Another in attendance was Eyvette
Harris, whose brother Kevin was shot
to death in 2003. Only recently was
the shooter, Willie Hudson, convicted
of manslaughter for the crime.
"I'm glad I could come to this as
a healing process," Harris said. "This
is the beginning of tomorrow."

RTS to increase
county services
U THE ALACHUA COUNTY COMMISSION RECENTLY
APPROVED BUDGETS ALLOWING FOR EXPANSION.
By IVETrE MENDEZ
Alligator Writer
imendez@alligator.org
Regional Transit System is expanding its services more
extensively outside city limits.
The Alachua County Commission approved two
budgets presented by RTS Interim Director Jesus Gomez
for the operating costs of several bus routes outside
Gainesville proper for the next three years.
"One of the contracts is'to .serve outside city limits,"
Gomez said. "Some on the East side, some are to Santa
Fe."
The contracts, however, do not include any enhance-
ments to the bus routes, only covering existing routes.
"We. haven't talked about any enhancements yet,"
Gomez said.
Some years ago, an RTS proposition to SFCC would
have enhanced service on routes 10 and 43 and added
a new route but did not come to fruition because SFCC
couldn't finance the changes, he said.
Due to SFCC's inability to charge a transportation fee
to its students, the plan was unable to go forward.
SFCC's Student Government has been looking for ways
to improve bus transportation to and from the campus.
Though there is a bill before the Florida Legislature
regarding community colleges' ability to negotiate trans-
portation fee contracts, it has yet to be approved.
Unlike universities, community colleges cannot forge
any sort of agreement with transit entities, such as the
credit hour-based contract UF has with RTS.
SFCC Student Senate President Katharine Bucca and
student Daniel Jones took initiative by asking for a- ref-
erendum reviewing the benefits of annexation into the
city of Gainesville in the hopes that being part of the city
would give them better leverage to negotiate a contract
with RTS.
"This is a student-driven initiative," said Larry Keen,
SFCC spokesman, who went to Tallahassee to lobby for
the fee contract legislation with 10 students in February.
"The primary reason is bus coverage," he added.
SFCC's administration will not be affected if the an-
nexation does take place, Keen said.
The college is allowing the residents who are impacted
the most by the decision to run the campaign.
"It's up to the residents and the business people af-
fected," Keen said. "The school doesn't have a position."

STUDENT LIFE
UF investigates
text messaging
* CLASS CANCELLATIONS AND OTHER LAST-MIN-
UTE NEWS SOON COULD BE SENT TO CELL PHONES.
By RAMONA JONES
Alligator Contributing Writer
UF is seeking yet another way to connect to students, with
the possibility of a university-hosted Short Message Service
system in the works.
Mobile Campus representatives proposed the program to
UF information technology professionals and student leaders
at a meeting April 7.
Student Body Treasurer Dennis Ngin worked on coordi-
nating the venture for almost a year. He said he was excited to
see the idea making strides toward being a reality.'
"The university has the potential to make a mark and
pioneer a new communication system in the United States
that would bring amazing benefits to the student body,"
Ngin said.
The program would include instant messages to students'
cellular phones regarding class changes and school emergen-
cies that are usually sent through e-mail, Ngin said.
He anticipated that, depending on student response, the
program could be in place as early as Fall or next Spring once
plans are finalized and Mobile Campus carries out market-
ing.
Steven Bourdon, Student Government computer support
analyst, has worked with the project since the idea emerged
about a year ago.
"There are several layers of communication that this ap-
plication will be able to provide," Bourdon said. "University
administrators, professors and organizations will be able to
alert students concerning critical announcements, and stu-
dents will be able to communicate with other students."
The optional service will allow students to set up a profile
that would include which organizations to receive messages
from and when they would receive messages, Bourdon said.
"Say, for instance, you wanted to send a message to ev-
eryone in your sorority to get their shirt sizes for an event,"
Bourdon said. "Not only could everyone respond back with a
given value, but the application would compile the responses
and give you one message with the number requested for
each size."
The only downfall for the student body Bourdon said he
could see was the possible cost of text messages students
would incur, depending on their cell phone plan.
"The students don't have to subscribe to the service, and'
the university is not bound to any contract as far as I know,"
Bourdon said. "And if the students try it and don't see any _
value, the program just goes away."
Third-year journalism student Risa Polansky said there
doesn't seem to be a point to replacing e-mail for school
information.
"People check their e-mail on their phones, and there are
computers everywhere on campus," Polansky'said. "And
tech-savvy people usually have Palm Pilots anyway."
Polansky said getting bombarded with text messages isn't
something she would consider a convenience.
However, Polanksy also added, "I'm interested to see how
it works out, and I hope they try it out."

FACULTY SENATE
Professors struggle for say in UF affairs
By JEFF SIRMONS
Alligator Writer
jsirmons@alligator.org
Pierre Ramond, chairman of UF's
Faculty Senate, said he has worked to-
ward creating a foundation for a work-
ing relationship with the UF administra-
tion so the faculty can have increased
involvement in the governance of UE
"We're not quite at that stage yet,"
said Ramond, who helmed his last
Senate meeting Thursday. "If our faculty
does their homework and learns what-
they need to do, we should be able to
have shared governance of this univer-
sity sometime down the road."
Amid a battle between the Legislature
and the UF administration for control of
tuition, the Faculty Senate has fought for
shared governance, a policy that gives
the faculty equal say with the adminis-
tration on how UF should be managed.
Proponents of shared governance
argue that faculty should be a part of
the decision-making process in purely
academic affairs.
"Faculty should be in charge of cur-
riculum, graduation requirements, aca-
demic freedom and scl,-.l:uslhip's said
Danaya Wright, who was elected Senate
chairwoman for the 2006-2007 school
year at Thursday's meeting. "We should
govern what effects us."
,. ~ In the future,
.",: Ramond expects to
'*' see increased involve-
ment in the Faculty
& ."-' 'Senate to improve its
; ^ chances of earning
shared governance.
"It would be
Ramond unthinkable for the
administration not to
tap into the knowledge of the faculty,"
he said.
UF President Bernie Machen said at
the meeting that he is working toward
defining what-falls under faculty respon-
sibility and administrators' responsibil-
ity.
"There have been different opinions,
but never has it been disagreeable,"
Machen said.
In other Senate news, Machen en-
courage faculty members to take the
UF faculty survey, which will be admin-
istered next week. The survey will be
identical to the survey taken in Fall 2004
and will serve as a valuable evaluation of
Machen's performance as president.
"Hopefully, we will.have the same
kind of faculty interest and response as
we did last semester," Machen said.
Additionally, senators opposed a
proposal to cut off a class day for the next
two semesters so students will be able to
graduate without the burden of taking
an exam the same day as commence-
ment ceremonies.
Opponents argued that losing a class
day would hinder UF in its mission to
become a Top 10 public university.
Other alternatives to cutting a class
day are Sunday graduations or Sunday
exams, Associate Provost Sheila Dickison
said.
"The College of Education has Sunday
graduations, and that's been going fine
for them," Dickison said. "Plus, most of
our peer institutions have no problem
holding graduations on Sunday."

TAKING FREEDOM BY FORCE
Group advocates spying on faculty
By JAMES VANLANDINGHAM
Alligator Staff Writer
jvanl@alligator.org
In 2001, journalist Barbara Ehrenreich pub-
lished an acclaimed book, "Nickel and Dimed:
On (Not) Getting by in America."
Recounting Ehrenreich's attempt to make
ends meet while working minimum-wage jobs
through 1998, the book peers into the world of
America's waitresses, janitors and hotel maids
in an era when dot-com millionaires and lion-
ized CEOs captivated national attention.
The New York Times Book Review hailed
Ehrenreich as a "premier reporter," and a
play based on the book premiered to glowing
reviews at the Hippodrome State Theatre last
October.
So when the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill added the book in 2003 to a
summer reading list mandatory for incoming.
freshmen, little trouble was expected.
In July of that year, a group of students
called The Committee for a Better Carolina
held a press conference denouncing the book
as a "classic Marxist rant" and a work of "in-
tellectual pornography with no redeeming
characteristics." The students demanded the
book be pulled from the reading list.
The Committee is one of the first local
chapters of Students for Academic Freedom,
a national-group that is pushing "Academic
Freedom Bill of Rights" bills like the one filed
in Florida by Rep. Dennis Baxley (R-Ocala).
Similar bills have been filed in at least 16 other
states.
Sara Dogan, national campus director for
the organization, wrote in September- 2003
that the "socialist tract" should not have been
assigned to UNC students.
"The University should not be used as a
tool of political indoctrination," she wrote.
"Independent thinking is discouraged when
students are exposed to only one side of com-
plicated political issues such as the role of free
markets in the lives of poor Americans."
Over the past two years, the organization
has ballooned, and under the leadership of
conservative pundit David Horowitz, SAF has
founded dozens of chapters across America's
university campuses.
Reached on Thursday at the organization's
K Street office in Washington, D.C., Dogan
said word-of-mouth was the reason SAF had
spread so quickly. And while UF doesn't yet
have a chapter, several students have contact-
ed her with interest in founding one, she said.
"It's a testament to how much these issues
concern people," she said. "We don't call for
firing of professors. We're not an ideological
organization, not about conservative views
or liberal views. We're just trying to promote
greater intellectual diversity on campuses."
Dogan said that student members are guid-
ed by a handbook available at the group's Web
site, www.studentsforacademicfreedom.org.
The handbook advises students forming a
new chapter to first secure funding from stu-
dent governments and supportive faculty and
alumni. The students should then "research
political bias and classroom indoctrination on
[their] campuses] by interviewing students
and making a record of specific incidents."
Leaders should set up Web sites to encour-
age students to inform on their professors.
The handbook cautions, "Be careful to do this
honestly and fairly."
The group should note allegations of one-
sided-reading lists and faculty lecture series.
They should "object to the absence of diversity
among faculty in a particular department, in
class curricula and in classes offered."
Next, they should report examples to the
local media and "take a list of these abuses to
parents and alumni and solicit funds."
Then go to the university president's office
and "demand a redress of grievances, includ-
ing an apology from the offending authority,"
the handbook says.
If the university refuses to "take correc-
tive measures," students should notify the-
press and "make friends with [their] elected
representatives on the Education Committees
of [their] state Senate or
Assembly."
Rep. Baxley is chairman
of the House Education
Council.
"The maximum pres-
sure point for all academic
institutions is the flow of
Baxley alumni and government
.funds that support the
institution," the handbook says. "Focus your
activities on these vulnerable points of the uni-
versity system. Continue the pressure until the
authorities adopt and enforce 'The Academic
Bill of Rights.'"'
United Faculty of Florida President Tom
Auxter, who also is a UF philosophy professor,
said SAF's goal is to create "cells" of conser-
vative students who will sign up, for courses
specifically to monitor what liberal professors
say in class.
And if Baxley's bill passes the Legislature,
the students could even sue the university and
its professors on bias allegations.
While Baxley continues to insist the bill
has no causative action, a staff analysis by the
Senate Education Committee warns "the bill
appears to create a cause of action for students
to litigate against the public postsecondary
education institution in which they are en-
rolled."
Moreover, the bill enjoins faculty to teach
"all serious scholarly viewpoints" without
defining that term. "Accordingly," the report
says, "this provision invites student com-
plaints as to the proper pedagogical method
employed by the faculty."
The effect of the law, Auxter said, ironically
would cause professors to watch their tongues
in class while encouraging students to turn
classroom debates into CNN's "Crossfire.'
"The law would turn academic topics
into political topics," Auxter said. "If would
change what would happen in the classroom,
and everything will be guarded and truncated
to prevent controversy."
If a professor failed to take time accommo-
dating each and every student, he would run
the risk of being sued, he said.
"It means we'll be taken to court, potential-
ly, if we don't change the nature of academic
life."
But changing the nature of academic life
is perhaps the burgeoning SAF movement's
first priority.
On the SAF Web site, Michael McKnight,
who was president of the Carolina committee
in 2003, writes that his primary goal is to add
"diversity of ideology" as a major factor in
deciding which faculty to hire.
The university must "remedy this situa-
tion," he wrote, "where every campus depart-
ment dealing with social issues from politi-
cal science to public policy were filled to the
brim with Democrats."
Ready or not: Tax deadline today
By JOHN W. COX
Alligator Contributing Writer
They say that two things in life
are certain death and taxes.
One of those takes Americans
6.6 billion hours to get ready for,
according to the Internal Revenue
Service.
Gainesville residents are rac-
ing to submit their tax returns
before today's deadline, said H &
R Block district manager Nancy
Strampello.
"You always have those last-
minute filers," Strampello said.
All nine regional H & R district
offices are full and are under a
steady stream of customers, she
said. Accountants will be working
until midnight Friday preparing
thousands of filings.
Area students have been a large
portion of H & R Block's custom-
ers in the past several months,
Strampello said.
UF freshman Andrew Hallock
said he began preparing his tax
forms three weeks ago.
"It was my first time doing it
on my own so I had no idea what I
was doing," he said.
Hallock said he wanted to avoid
the headache of waiting until the
last minute and not being ready.
"When you wait 'til the last
minute you usually end up losing
stuff," he said.
Students have started tak-
ing advantage of the online and
call-in methods for filing taxes,
Strampello said.
"We deal with quite a few stu-
dents," she said.
When .students do file their
own taxes, they usually come ear-
ly, Strampello said. They generally
get help to do the job, though.
"A lot of times the students will
let their parents take care of that,"
she said.
"We're trying to reduce un-
necessary burden."
Michael Chesman
IRS Office of Taxpayer Burden
Reduction director
Brian Melchar, of Gainesville's
Donna S: Bowie CPA accountants,
said waiting until the last minute
to file taxes may not only be a
headache, but also dangerous.
"We 'always have people that
bring their stuff in late," he said.
"If you're not done, the quality
of the work probably is not that
great."
The. firm's employees begin
working 60 hours per week in
January, he said.
They plan for problems months
ahead of time so they can avoid
any mistakes, Melchar said.
Tax paperwork also puts a sig-
nificant strain on the government.
The White House budget office
notes that tax work "towers over
the entire paperwork burden for
the rest of the federal government"
and accounts for some 80 percent
of all paperwork.
"If anything, those numbers
are probably understated," said
David Keating, president of the
National Taxpayers Union, which
reports annually on the increasing
complexity and demands of tax
returns.
"A lot more of the cost is just
planning to do the tax-smart thing.
That can actually take a lot more
time than reporting what you've
done," he said.
Sensitive to the demands that
tax laws put on weary taxpayers,
the IRS has seven people working
full time to reduce the anguish for
filers. The IRS Office of Taxpayer
.Burden Reduction looks for re-
quirements that can be stream-
lined, reduced or eliminated under
the law.
"We're trying to reduce un-
necessary burden," said Michael
Chesman, the office director.
Some of the burden cannot be
avoided because it is a require-
ment of the tax laws. By attacking
unnecessary burden, the office
has shaved more than 200 million
hours from tax paperwork since
the office was created in 2001.
People can do things to
avoid trouble with paperwork,
Strampello said.
.Doing taxes electronically and
turning them in early are the'best
ways to avoid problems, she said.
If the IRS receives an incor-
rect return early enough they can
return it without it costing the per-
son who filed it, she said.

We've got a problem here.
We here at the Department of Darts & Laurels have been
looking over our records for this semester, and we've noticed
that we just haven't given out enough Darts this semester.
And time is running out.
Luckily, the stress of final exams, final term papers and
final drinking binges (just kidding, Bernie) have given us
enough concentrated angst to finish out this last regular edi-
tion of Darts & Laurels with a bang.
So sit back, have a drink and fix your eyes on that bull's-
eye as we head our way into this week's edition of...
Darts & Laurels
Starting off with all due respect for those who have left us
(or, actually, will leave us), we give a nah-our-graduating-se-
niors-don't-need-any-of-those-stupid-"memories" DART to
the UF administration for canceling this year's convocation
ceremony because their mysterious guest speaker canceled
on them.
Here's a great idea: Why don't we hinge the farewell cel-
ebration ceremony for our departing students on the ques-
tionable appearance of some secretive government figure
who probably will be too busy not giving speeches for free?
But they can't fool us we know that the speaker can-
celed on us when he or she found out that the administration
wasn't going to provide any complimentary cocktails to lu-
bricate their speaking voice.
Moving on to another instance of a few cocktails becom-
ing a lot more meaningful than they should be, we toss a
way-to-make-already-uptight-guys-even-more-homophobic
DART to New York Times reporter Jennifer 8. Lee for insist-
ing that any -two straight guys that hang out for any reason
other than sports or business are on a "man date."
As if the whole metrosexual thing weren't bad enough,
we now have another superfluous term that exists only to
make otherwise confident heterosexual guys ask themselves
whether or not they might, actually "like the dudes" ith,'
don't: If you don't fantasize about Ll_, I- noi ou'ri. rict e--
ing to because you bonded with) 'Lin ,::nui a tc in ine to -e1
"Sideways").
But we don't think Lee really is to blame here: Ht-r pa. rn I-
stacked the deck against her from the beginning 'e; i Llu-h
- her middle initial is a number. And it has a perin 'd .1 ti- r it
as if it actually were short for something.
We can only hope that,,some day, she'll h ,'. tl_- f -confh-
dence to start living her true life as Jennifer 54 -`"74"'; 33 ?-
(pronounced "Lynn") Lee.
Rounding things off with a watchful eye toward the "Big
Brother" tendencies of our country's supposedly-progres-
sive universities, we give a we-may-get-on-their-case-oc-
casionally-but-holy-crap-that's-way-over-the-line DART to
Colgate University in New York for requiring that Greek
organizations sell their houses to the university because ad-
ministrators think that will stem incidents of hazing, sexual
assault and other acts that obviously only' the stereotypical
"frat guys" commit.
This gets even more retarded when you learn that these
fraternity and sorority houses are off-campus. This isn't
university property that Colgate is taking back it's private
property.
How can they force the Greeks to give up their private
property? Simple: If they don't, the university won't offi-
cially recognize them anymore.
We can't stand for this. Greeks and non-Greeks alike must
do something to end the tyranny of anti-party administra-
tors.
When injustices are occurring in times like this (i.e., the
end of the school year), there's only one thing that can be
done: Chocolate pudding wrestling for everyone.
We're not sure what it'll accomplish, but we know the
Colgate Greeks will appreciate the effort.

L~e.es to the Editor
Banning alcohol makes students want it
Editor When you consider the impact
of his incompletely and vaguely articulated
new "alcohol policy," it is clear that President
Machen spoke and acted before he fully un-
derstood the far-reaching implications of what
he was doing. Let us hope this will not be char-
acteristic of his tenure here.
You cannot change alcohol-related at-
titudes simply by removing the superficial
signs of those attitudes. And, you cannot
change alcohol-related behaviors by creating
arbitrary policies and rules regarding the con-
sumption of alcohol. That's been done. It was
called Prohibition. It didn't work.
College-age adults are intelligent and in-
quisitive but still often are susceptible to the
teenage impulse to rebel. One of the best ways
to get them to do something you don't want
them to is by telling them they can't. In his
personal memoirs, President Ulysses S. Grant
wrote, "I know from my own experience that
when I was at West Point, the fact that tobacco,
in every form, was prohibited, and the mere
possession of the weed severely punished,
made the majority of the cadets, myself in-
cluded, try to acquire the habit of using it."
Attempting to control every mention of
alcohol to which university students are ex-
posed is unrealistic, insulting and, frankly,
unconstitutional. In the interest of "saving"
students from binge drinking or underage
students from harmful exposure to such cor-
rupting messages, should you remove all tele-
visions, radios, commercial publications and
Internet access from this campus? If Machen's
policy is to be applied with any consistency, all
these things have to go, don't they?
You must remember that most potential
underage drinkers on campus have passed the
legal age of majority. You cannot treat them as
if they are kids caught with their hands in the
adult cookie jar. Acknowledging that alcohol
exists and is used and enjoyed responsibly in
our society does not constitute an endorse-
ment of binge drinking or underage drinking.
Acknowledging that these students are
adults, encouraging them to behave like
adults and offering them information that will
help them make responsible decisions is the
best you can do. The greater portion of them
will benefit from this approach. A few of them
will- learn from their mistakes.
UF doesn't need a bull(y) in a china shop at
the helm. It needs someone who will make it
his daily goal to speak and act, with cautious
and considerable forethought, in the best in-
terests of this university, its students, its com-
munity and its business partners.
By the way, despite the West Point ban on
tobacco, Ulysses S. Grant became a notorious
cigar smoker and died of throat cancer.
Brian Walker
UF Alumnus
Law gave university regulation to board
Editor: Your "Bill Blunder" editorial yester-
day was right on target in questioning the wis-
dom of the Florida House of Representative's
bill defining the "separation of powers among
the bodies that govern the state universities."
Your conclusion that universities should have
final responsibility for many of these responsi-
bilities also is appropriate.
You fail to recognize, however, that the
Florida Constitution gives the Board of
Governors responsibility to "operate, regulate
and be fully responsible for the management
of the whole university system." The constitu-
tion also gives the board authority to delegate
appropriate responsibilities to university
boards of trustees.
The best opportunity for universities to
gain control over appropriate functions is for
the board to be responsible for these func-
tions so they might be delegated to university
boards of trustees. There is a much greater
chance of such delegation if the board rather
than the legislature has such responsibility.

Whooo! Gator Stompin' rules, man! Not
Editor: So, you want to experience your

last official getting-wasted-bonding moment
before you graduate? Well, you definitely
can do just that at the oh-so-spectacular event
called Gator Stompin' an event for graduat-
ing seniors that allows you to get inebriated
for a meager fee of about $25.
After handing over your cash, you are then
allowed to jump on the Gator "bandwagon"
where you are handed an oversized white T-
shirt to wear for the night. Then, you can join
your fellow comrades for a "real" night out on
the town. While skipping with your fellow se-
niors, you stop at each of the participating bars
to enjoy a small, watered-down drink.
Now, if you are thinking about food during
this fun fest, don't worry: The Stompin' crew
has not forgotten about your belly. You possi-
bly will get some extra-greasy pizza to munch
on. Sounds tempting doesn't it?
Well, what is it going to be, my fellow
grads? Will you choose to go with plan A and
spend money to join an "organization" for a
one-night-only event that promotes making a
plastered donkey out of yourself or will you
go with plan B and spend your hard-earned
money on dinner with friends and family,
wearing your own stylin' threads and feeling
like you didn't have to join the Gator Stompin'
entourage to end your final year of college
with a bang.

SFCC pitches stadium to county
* THE BED TAX, CHARGED TO HOTEL ROOMS,
COULD RAISE ONE CENT TO FUND THE PROJECT.
By IVETTE MENDEZ
Alligator Writer
imendez@alligator.org
A new baseball stadium or civic center are options being
explored by the Alachua County Commission as it reviews
what to do with part of the tax levied on tourist lodging.
If approved by the commission, the three-cent bed tax,
applied to hotels and other places visitors commonly stay,
would increase by a'penny.
County Commission Chairwoman Cynthia Chestnut is
not worried about the increase as a problem to local tour-
ism.
"I don't think that the extra penny would deter anyone
from coming to Gainesville," she said.
Santa Fe Community College proposed to use the extra
cent to build a minor-league baseball stadium on its cam-
pus.
Chestnut has a different idea for the tax.
She suggested building a civic center that would benefit
the entire community.
The three options being considered are the civic center, a
convention center and the stadium, Chestnut said.
"The other two options would not impact Santa Fe,"
she said.
The next step is for SFCC to take the baseball stadium
proposal to the Tourist Development Council so it can de-
termine the most beneficial project in terms of tax dollars,
Chestnut said.
"The recommendation from the Tourist Development
Council will help us make the decision," she said.
The civic or convention center would not be located on
SFCC's campus,.but no locations have been approved by
the commission.
SFCC has not committed any resources or money to the
development of the stadium yet. The school is still in the
negotiation-and-investigation phase of the process.
Having a stadium on its grounds would be beneficial
to SFCC, said Larry Keen, assistant to President Jackson
Sasser.
"We'd be able to use it for some of our own purposes,"
Keen said.
If the stadium were built, it would affect the campus's
traffic arid parking when the stadium was in use.
If the commission does not approve construction of the
stadium via the penny tax, Keen said it is unlikely it wIill be
built at a later date due to low funds.
"The county commission has the say-so in that," he
said.
Trees to find home

A crowd of 58,500 UF fans and students attended the
Orange and Blue spring football game last weekend, but
Saturday will .test their true loyalty as they have been
invited to join UF players and coaches.in the largest tree-
planting project UF has ever seen.
"We made an agreement with our players that the los-
ing team from last weekend's scrimmage
On would be required to participate," UF foot-
CampuS ball coach Urban Meyer said in an e-mail
sent to all GatorLink accounts.
That means blue-band-wearing fans and blue players.
More than 400 crepe myrtle trees will be planted
along Radio Road, Bledsoe Drive and at the Lakeside
Residential Complex, according to Meyer's e-mail.
The event was organized by Student Government
and Florida Blue Key. Students should check in at the
Telecommunications Building lot on Radio Road.
Prizes will be given to the organizations that bring the
most participants, including signed Gator memorabilia,
project organizer Gary Goldberg said.
"I think it is going to be a lot bigger than we all ex-
pected," he said.

GAU to lobby Trustees
INSURANCE, from page 1
"The aim of GAU is to have fully subsidized, comprehen-
sive health insurance for all teaching and research assistants,"
Romano said. "Peer universities offer much better health in-
surance programs than UF."
GAU plans to lobby the Board of Trustees, UF's highest
governing body, for more comprehensive insurance, or at
least for more than the $400 subsidy that covers less than
half the cost of full-coverage health
UF insurance.
Administration "Right now, Pap smears are not
covered by the plan," GAU secretary
Erica Pittman said of the procedure used to detect uterine can-
cer. "Women can get cheap birth control pills, but, to get them,
they have to get a Pap smear, which they have to pay for."
The commission also decided not to increase prescrip-
tion drug coverage, reportedly because less.than 2 percent of
graduate students were likely to benefit from the increase.
The Commission will reconvene next year to deter-
mine whether to sign another three-year contract with
Scarborough.
"They've been the best plan in customer service and price,
and that's why we've decided to stay with them for one more
year," Aubuchon said of the family business.
Students advised to use other lots on game days
UAA, from page 1
Morgan and Stuckey agreed
Murphree takes the brunt of the
game-day influx, but Morgan said
the UAA tries to compensate for the
inconvenience.
"Because they are using spaces,
we felt that was only fair that some
money went back into the parking,"
Morgan said.
Morgan said that $1 from the
price of tickets sold for on-campus
events goes back to parking.
"We don't want to charge people
too much," he said.
Maintaining and improving ex-
isting lots and creating additional
parking are two ways Morgan said
money from those events is used.
However, residents pay $94 per
year for the Red-1 decals that al-
low them to park in lots like those
around Murphree. Many of them do
not always move their vehicles dur-
ing the weekend, so being forced to
do so can present a problem.
Leighan Howard, a biology
junior and a resident of the park-
ing-deprived area, recounted one
Saturday when she did not find her
car where she left it.
"It's just frustrating that you
have to move your car and then the
next day, on game day, you have
to walk by and see it totally full of
alumni," Howard said. "It's frustrat-
ing because you go to the school and
you have to live here and you have
to park here and then they just get to
roll up and pull in a spot."
Stuckey said UAA notifies stu-
dents well in advance about upcom-
ing parking restrictions by working
closely with the resident assistants
in the affected areas and posting
-notices in common rooms.
"We pride ourselves on being
proactive to precommunicate that to
everyone," Stuckey said.
Howard called the situation "lu-
dicrous."
"I just feel like it's frustrating
(because they don't give you a lot
of notice," she said. "It's basically
word-of-mouth for the people that
live here that you can't put your
car there. They don't put out a lot of
warning ahead of time."
Morgan said UF administrators
tried to mitigate the conflict.
"We try not to interfere with
Monday through Friday," he said.
"A few times a year [students] are
inconvenienced. Almost all of these
events take place on weekends. If
you are an individual, that's one or
five to 100,000. Yes, it's definitely
an inconvenience, but we haven't
found a better way."
Approximately 90,000 attendees
flock to Gainesville for home games,
Morgan estimated.
Morgan said UF has looked into
using downtown parking garages
and shuttling visitors in with buses
but said the cost was "too big," and
the inconvenience would discour-
age visitors from attending events.
Stuckey advised students to use
commuter lots during game days.
"We are always going to recom-
mend the RTS lots," she said. "We are
always going to look at our efficiency
and parking plan on a yearly basis.
Football game day on our campus
has a big impact on everybody."
However, when it comes down
to parking near the stadium, Stuckey
had a definite answer.
"On a game day, they belong to
the Athletic Association," she said.
You need it. -We offer the opportunity to get it.

UPD ready in case of shooting
By JOHN W. COX
Alligator Contributing Writer
On Monday, April 4, Jeff Weise
walked into Red Lake High
School for the last time, armed
with three guns and wearing a
bulletproof vest.
Shots blistered the dry Monday
afternoon air, and when the
nation's deadliest school shoot-
ing since Columbine High School
concluded, eight bodies were left
lifeless in the school.
Students at Red Lake said they
never thought it could happen
there.
Fifteen hundred miles from
Red Lake, UF and Gainesville
school officials said they know it
could happen anywhere.
The 89 University Police
Department officers are ready for
a crisis situation, said Maj. Brad
Barber.
Although he could not be spe-
cific, Barber said the university
police have plans in place for a
variety of situations.
"Our officers are on patrol 24
hours a day, seven days a week,"
he said.
Preparedness and practice are
essential to avoid a tragedy like Red
Lake, said recently retired Alachua
County School' District safety coor-
dinator W.H. "Bear" Bryant.
"For us, it's just a reminder to
stay on our p's and q's," Bryant
said.
The state mandates that schools
do drills every month to simulate
an emergency, he said.
"If you don't practice them you
will never know what to do when
the real thing happens," Bryant
said.
"If you've got somebody
determined to get on a
campus and kill people,
they're going to be able
to do it. We do our best to
limit that and eliminate
targets."
W.H. "Bear" Bryant
Alachua County School District
safety coordinator
If an emergency occurs, the-
school is locked down, and stu-
dents are barricaded indoors and
not released until the area is cleared
by police.
Stopping someone from getting
a gun in a school is unrealistic,
though, Bryant said.
"If you've got somebody deter-
mined to get on a campus and kill
people, they're going to be able to
do it," Bryant said. "'We do our best
to limit that and eliminate targets."
Gainesville High School fresh-
man Michael Hall said he would
not be surprised if kids who were
picked on brought a gun to school.
"You never know when some-
one could flip out," he said. "It's
scary 'cause if they shoot somebody
it could be your friend or cousin."
Bryant said some of the public
has the wrong idea about school
safety. Quick action is more impor-
tant than metal.detectors or fences,
he said. "A metal detector is a false
sense of security," he said.
Red Lake had a metal detector
and it didn't stop Weise, Bryant
said. Locking down campuses
quickly and eliminating targets are
the best ways to save lives.
Computer games may have
played a role in recent campus
shootings, Bryant said.
He has seen evidence that
shooters like Weise in Red Lake are
much more accurate when aiming
straight ahead than when shooting
to the sides.
This may indicate .they are
learning to shoot by playing video
games, he said.
S"What's unique about a com-
puter is that when you shoot some-
body, you hit a reset button, and
they come back to life," Bryant said.
"In real life, that doesn't happen."
The Associated Press contributed
to this report.
Casey Anderson / Alligator Staff
These students at Gainesville+ligh School are well protected in case
a shooting incident arises there, officials said.

UF ROUNDUP
Volleyball team welcomes McCray back from injury
The spring exhibition schedule
may not sound like a thrilling time
for the UF volleyball team, but
Amber McCray has waited a year
for this moment.
McCray is making her return
this exhibition season after tearing
her left anterior cruciate ligament in
practice last spring. The fact that the
matches do not count towards the
team's record is as inconsequential
to her as the matches themselves.
"I am extremely excited,"
McCray said. "My left foot is not as
strong as my right, but I feel strong
and I am ready to play."
She will continue her comeback
Saturday when the Gators take on
Georgia Tech in a double-header
at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. at the Gale
Lemerand Center.
McCray, a left-handed opposite
hitter, poses an offensive threat, and
is the only true player at her position
on UF's roster.
The team had trouble replacing
her last season, so McCray's return
will likely have a tremendous im-
pact.
"Amber McCray's return is
huge for us," outside hitter Jane
Collymore said. "Last year, trying
to find a right-side presence was a
little bit of a challenge for us when
she went down, but now that she's
back and she's healthy,, she is giving
us those kills that we need, which al-
lows the [middle blockers] and the
[outside hitters] to get more kills."
McCray took a medical redshirt
last season, so the injury will not cost
her a year of eligibility. Instead, she
will remain a sophomore in eligibil-
ity, joining an already stellar group
of soon-to-be sophomores.
Georgia Tech went undefeated
in the Atlantic Coast Conference last
season before reaching the Sweet 16
in the NCAA Tournament.
Despite playing such a formi-
dable opponent, volleyball coach
Mary Wise said she N. ,ald not take
the outcomes of these exhibition
matches very seriously.
"In terms of [wins and losses],
that isn't important. But the per-
formance and execution is impor-
tant," Wise said. "What we will be
looking at are
numbers. We
will be looking in
terms of hitting
efficiency and
points scored
and things where
you get a much
McCray 'better indication
when playing
an opponent instead of just playing
against yourself."
While the nucleus of the team
is still very yotmg, Collymore, an
All-American candidate, believes
this team is as good as any in the
country.
"Experience can be a factor, but
sometimes talent can surmount
that," she said. "[I want to] try and-
help this team get to where it can
definitely get to, and I think that is a
national championship.
"We've been as athletic and as
talented as we need to be to do it,
and we just need to do it.,"
-BRYAN JONES
MEN TO COMPETE IN TWO EVENTS:
Coming off a successful showing at
the Texas Relays in which the UF
men's track and field team achieved
10 NCAA regional qualifying marks,
the No. 2 Gators will compete in two
events this weekend. *
Distance runners will travel to
Walnut, Calif., for the Mt. Sac Relays
on Friday, while the remainder of the
team will participate in the Miami
Gatorade Classic on Saturday.
So far, men's track -coach Mike
Holloway has been satisfied with
the improvement of his team from
the beginning of the outdoor sea-
son.
"We're right where we need
to be," Holloway said. "What we
wanted to do was get some mo-
mentum for the rest of the season.
We were very focused and the
guys were really thinking about
the technical changes we're trying
to make."
The events this weekend 'will
prove a test of how the team deals
with success and will be crucial
in preparation for Southeastern
Conference and NCAA regional
competitions to come.
"We've got to get better across
the board," Hollowayosaid. "When
you have a successful squad, they
have the tendency to get a little com-
placent and not perform at a high
level. We're really encouraging the
guys to be focused and get it done
every weekend."
MORRISON EARNS AWARD:
Sophomore Mike Morrison was
acknowledged by the U.S., Track
Coaches Association as the Athlete
of the Week following his outstand-
ing performance at the Texas Relays
last weekend.
Morrison posted three re-
gional qualifying marks in the
long jump, high jump and 4x100-
relay and helped the Gators set
several SEC and national records
for 2005.
"I'm really proud of that award,"
Morrison said. "We came a long way
and we're starting to put it together
little-by-little. I guess the progres-
sion is starting to show."
Despite the
honor, Morrison
remained humble
about his abilities
and looks to con-
tinue to progress.
"I definitely
think there are
Morrison a lot of things I
need to work on,"
Morrison said. "I'm doing okay but
I'm not close to reaching my poten-
tial yet. It's just a lot of little things.
I think when I get them done right
there'll be big improvements."
With the team losing several
significant contributors next year,
Morrison looks to fill the void on
both a performance and leadership
level.
"It's going to be a big loss when
those guys leave, but I'm going to
do my best,", Morrison said. "I'm
definitely going to try to be the one
to step up and lead by example with
my performances."
BLAKE BONSACK
WOMEN HEAD WEST: The UF wom-
en's track and field team will spend
this weekend on the West Coast, far
from UF and, for many, far from
their own teammates.
The No. 5 Gators will be com-
peting in three different meets over
the weekend, with the distance
runners competing in the Mt. Sac
Relays in Walnut, Calif., while the
rest of the team will focus on the
Mesa Invitational and the Sun Angel
Classic, both in Arizona.
The Sun Angel Classic, held at
Arizona State University, will be a
homecoming of sorts for women's
track coach Tom Jones, who coached
for ASU from 1988 to 1992.
The Gators will encounter stiff
competition from UCLA, Auburn,
ASU, Kansas State, Washington
and Louisiana State all ranked
teams.
"There's a good mix of [Pacific 10
Conference] and SEC teams," Jones
said. "It should make for some inter-
esting competition."
Jones sees the weekend as a
chance for the athletes to compete
against other teams they wouldn't
normally see until nationals.
"We see the same people all the
time," he said.
The Mt. Sac Relays and Mesa
Invitational are scheduled for April
15, and the Sun Angel Classic begins
April 16.

MEN'S AND WOMEN'S GOLF
League-leading freshmen carry UF into postseason
By NICK ZACCARDI
Alligator Writer
It's finally time to see what the UF fresh-
men women's golfers can do.
The NCAA's greatest group of first-year
golfers according to Golfstat, four UF freshmen
will lead the No. 11 Gators to this weekend's
Southeastern Conference Championships.
--.Tiffany Chudy, Whitney Myers, Sandra Gal
and Eleanor Tucker comprise four of the five
playing spots for UF at Tunica, Miss.
"Hopefully they view it as the same [as a
regular season tournament]," Coach Jill Briles-
Hinton said. "The more they play, the better
they'll get."
Chudy, Myers and Gal posted the top three
scores forUF in its last tournament, the Bryan
National Collegiate in Greensboro, N.C.
"There's no difference [at SECs]," said
Chudy, who tied for 10th at the Bryan
National. "It's still a golf course. It's still teams
I've seen all year. You just have to take it like
it's no different than any other tournament."
The most heated freshman competition
may have already passed, as Tucker and C.J.
Kim battled in qualifying for the final spot.
"We call [qualifying] a cage match," Briles-
Hinton said. "When two
people are going head-
to-head and they want to
go, it's an event in and of
a itself."
Tucker secured her tick-
et for Tunica with rounds of
75,76 and 77, while putting
Chudy problems doomed Kim.
"It would have been
closer if not for C.J.'s putting issues, but
Eleanor played pretty good," Briles-Hinton
said.
POSTSEASON BEGINS: The season marred by
the No. 1 team in the country dropping out of
the top 25 is over.
The season altered by an honorable men-
tion All-American redshirting and a redshirt
senior graduate student making an unbeliev-
able comeback for victory is finished.
Now a new season, the postseason, be-
gins for the UF men's golf team, starting
with today's first round of the Southeastern
Conference Championships at Sea Island, Ga.
"The conference tournament is a big thing
at Florida," men's golf coach Buddy Alexander
said. "It's one of the major measuring sticks
for our program. It's not just a preparation for
Regionals."
The Gators enter postseason play as one of
the hottest teams in the country, following a
10-shot victory against No. 1 Oklahoma State
at the Morris Williams Intercollegiate.
But even more important than picking up
its third win of the spring was the way UF re-
gained momentum after a season-worst 10th
finish at the Schenkel Invitational, Alexander
said.
"I think [the Morris Williams] is very
important because it sort of indicates that
the Schenkel was a bad week as opposed to
a trend," Alexander said. "It doesn't mean
that we're going to play well at the confer-
ence [tournament], but from a confidence
standpoint we ought to feel pretty good about
ourselves."
North Carolina transfer Richard Treis
picked up UF's second individual title of the
season at the Morris Williams and his first
since the 2003 Atlantic Coast Conference
Championships.
"I think that he's definitely shaken off the
rust," Alexander said. "He's a different player
than he was in January."
Treis leads a contingent of four UF golfers
with scoring averages under 74.
Treis, Matt Every, Brett Stegmaier and
James Vargas have led to three wins, a runner-
up finish and a third-place finish.
Women's tennis tweaks approach, forgets struggles
By KATE CAVANNA
Alligator Writer
The UF women's tennis team has
come a long way in a month's time.
"We hit a bump in the road about
a month ago," associate head coach
Dave Balogh said. "We wanted to
get better every week and I think
we've done that."
That "bump" was back-to-back
losses to Southeastern Conference
foes Kentucky and Vanderbilt.
Losing was a novice development,
as the Gators finished last season.
undefeated.
Such a setback could have
proved disastrous, but the Gators
managed to fight back, winning
eight consecutive matches.
What's the key to this turn
around?. Simply adjusting, Balogh
said.
"Against Kentucky and
Vanderbilt there were times, when
we needed to make adjustments
and we couldn't do it," Balogh said:.
"Everybody has a style that they
want to play and most of the time
it works. But sometimes you need
to make changes. You need a plan
B. All the girls are starting to get
that now."
UF's hard work has paid off, as
the Gators now have the potential to
end their home season undefeated.
."We're tougher," Balogh said.
"Bottom line, a month ago we were
soft. The great thing is we have the
SEC Tournament coming up. We're
going to have an opportunity to re-
deem ourselves."
Redemption will have to wait,
though, as the Gators still have one
regular season match left. UF faces
No. 23 South Carolina on Sunday at
the Ring Tennis Complex at 1 p.m.
"South Carolina is a very good
team," Balogh said. "Maybe not the
most talented, but very competitive
and very gutsy.
"They've won a lot of 'matches
4-3 this year. They beat Vanderbilt 5-
2, who's a very good team. We will
definitely have our hands full."

Coach: Gators playing Tennessee at the right time
FRIDA, APIL 1,20050 ALIGATR, 2
By WILLIS JACOBSON
Alligator Writer
Of all the series the Gators have
played this season, this one will
likely mean the most. Of all the top-
10 teams UF has played against,
success against this one would
prove most satisfying. Combine
that .with the natural animosity
between two rival schools, and a
recipe for a classic series may be in
the making.
The No. 15 UF softball team (32-
11, 11-4 Southeastern Conference)
will host No. 6 Tennessee (44-7,
12-4 SEC) in a three-game series
beginning with a doubleheader at
1 p.m. on Saturday. The teams will
conclude the series with a 1 p.m.
Sunday meeting.
"[Tennessee] is probably our
most important series," said Coach
Karen Johns, well aware that the
series will be crucial in determin-
ing first place in the SEC Eastern
Division. "We're going to have our
hands full."
Tennessee is one of the more
dominant teams in the conference,
leading the league in several of-
fensive and defensive statistical
categories. The Volunteers lead
in hits, batting average, on-base
percentage, and total runs scored,
and are second in home runs. Their
pitchers aren't too shabby; either:
Tennessee's 0.81 ERA is lowest in
the conference.
"[Tennessee] is probably
our most important series.
We're going to have our
hands full."
Karen Johns
UF softball coach
"If we can just keep the ball in
the park, we feel like we'll have a
really good chance," said Johns of
the Volunteers' offense.
Despite the staggering numbers,
Johns says that her team could be
playing the Volunteers, losers in
two. of their last three, at the right
time.
"They're coming off a tough
weekend, so we feel like we're
finally catching a good team that's
maybe struggling," Johns said. "We
seem to always catch these good
teams when they're on a hot streak.
They went into Auburn [last week-
end] and really struggled, though,
so we'd like to take advantage of
that."
One of:- the- more. compel-
ling match-ups of the series pits
UF's bats against the pitching
of Tennessee 'southpaw Monica
Abbott (31-3). Abbott, whose 0.45
ERA leads the SEC, pitched 17 in-
nings and allowed just one run arid
four hits in two wins against the
Gators as a freshman last season.
However, Johns does see a
weakness in the Volunteers' defen-
sive attack.
"It looks like we'll be able to run
on them," Johns said. "They're giv-
ing tup some stolen bases, so hope-
fully we'll be able to execute some
things there that will work to our
strengths."
UF leads the all-time series 20-
11. All games this weekend will
be played at the Florida Softball
Stadium.
Parker to be sentenced in July

you to 50."
According to Smith, Parker was
arrested while exiting the Oaks Mall
on Dec. 7.
Smith said Parker was observed
meeting former co-defendant
Stephanie Moise at approximately 11:
44 a.m. at her workplace, Shoe Show,
1124 N. Main St., where he gave Moise
a white plastic shopping bag contain-
ing 493.8 grams of cocaine.
Moise then drove to the Oaks Mall
parking lot, where she sold the cocaine
to an undercover officer for $12,800.
Wheni the officer informed Moise that
the contents were less than the prear-
ranged 500-gram amount, Moise said
she would correct the error.
She then entered the mall, and after
visiting the Aeropostale store, was ar-
rested upon exiting with 9.8 grams of
-cocaine, which she said she received
from Parker to account for the differ-
ence along with all other amounts of
the drug she previously had in her
possession. Parker was arrested sepa-
rately with the money the officer gave
Moise for the cocaine.
Upon serving a search warrant, of-
ficers found $460 in counterfeit mon-
ey along with $852 in cash in Parker's
apartment.
Parker, who was fired from his po-
sition with the UF basketball team in
early January, was released according
to his previous bond of $100,000.
McArthur leads SEC with .500 average

0,3.79 ERA).
The Gators offense has been rolling
since Easter Sunday, led by third baseman
Brandon McArthur and his 11-game hitting
streak. His .500 average in conference play
leads the SEC.
Second baseman Adam Davis ranks sec-
ond on the Gators with a .388 average in SEC
games, but expects a hard-fought series this
weekend.
". You'might as well throw all the rankings
and all that kind of stuff out the window,"
Davis said. "What it comes down to in the
SEC is pitching match-ups, who's got who,
how people match up."
Davis credits UF's offensive success to the
team's depth.
"If this guy isn't getting it done, and he's a
guy that we usually depend on, the guy right
behind him has been getting the job done,"
Davis said. "That's been a staple of our team
all year long. I'm sure there's been plenty of
games where. our 1-2-3 guys haven't got a
hit, but the 7-8-9 guysThave had all the RBIs.
That's a sign of a good team, I think."
SHAF, from page 24
add up.
This is not the MLB draft that
has about a zillion rounds, or even
the NFL draft that can accommo-
date more than 200 draftees. We're
talking about 60 spots for countless
players from across the globe. That's
it. That's the list.
At last count, 20 underclassmen
'(including preps) have declared
themselves eligible for the draft.
Twelve of those players have yet to
hire an agent. That's 12 players who
appear unsure of what to do.
Ask David Lee if he would go
back and risk his career at UF for a
roll of the dice following an under-
classman season. My guess is Lee's
stock has never been higher and he
is now a legitimate first-rounder.
You can take your chances with
players like Brandon Bowman,
J:R. Morris and Von Wafer. I'll take
-seniors and proven winners like
Lee, Chuck Hayes and Channing
Frye and beat yours every day of
the week.
I fail to see the good in a fringe
draftee deciding to hire an agent and
forgoing his college eligibility.
On the other hand, his retut
to school would mean the better-
ment of the college game, the NBA
game and most importantly, his life.
Where is the harm in that?

Parker changes plea to guilty in federal drug case
By BRYAN APP
Alligator Staff Writer
bapp@alligator.org
Former UF basketball coach-
ing assistant Major Parker could
face a minimum of five years in
prison on federal drug charges
after changing his plea to guilty
on Thursday.
Parker, who originally plead
not guilty at his initial appear-
ance on Jan. 11, plead guilty to
conspiracy to distribute and pos-
session with the intent to distrib-
ute 500 grams of cocaine as part
of an agreement with the U.S.
Attorney's Office.
After federal prosecutor Corey
Smith concluded presenting
facts in the case against Parker,
Federal Magistrate Stephen
Mickle repeatedly asked Parker
if he understood the facts and if
they were indeed true.
"Did you, in -fact, do what
the government says you did?"
Mickle asked Parker.
"Yes sir," replied the previ-
ously calm Parker with a crack in
his voice and a shake in his legs.
Shortly after court adjourned,
Parker wiped tears from his eyes
while seated at the defense table,
as did his wife, who was seated
with Parker's father and sister.
As part of the agreement, the
U S. Attorney's
Office dropped
five additional
counts of co-
caine distribu-
tion that Parker
originally faced,
stemming from
Parker four specific
incidences of
drug sales to undercover police
officers from Nov. 16 to Dec. 7.
According to Jerry Sanford,
spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's
Office in Gainesville, Parker will
face the statutory sentence of
a minimum of five years to a
maximum of 40 years in prison
without the possibility of parole,
a $4 million fine and five years of
supervised release.
Mickle is scheduled to sen-
tence Parker on July 11 at 1:30
p.m.
"The judge is not bound by
any guidelines," Sanford said.
"So the judge will have the dis-
cretion to sentence him to any
number [of years] between [five
and 40]."
Mickle, however, cited a
Supreme Court case stating that
statutory sentences were advi-
sory guidelines and not manda-
tory.
But Mickle said Parker has the
right to appeal his sentence if the
judge mandates one greater than
the statutory maximum.
"Do you understand that you
have the right to appeal your sen-
tencfe if, for example, I impose a
sentence that's in excess of what
was previously authorized?"
Mickle asked Parker. "Let's say
you get 40 [years] and I sentence

The injury bug has finally hit the UF baseball team.
Previously entrenched Friday night starter Br.an Ball
will be sidelined for his second consecutive _ekend -,-
ries because of an arm injury.
Coach Pat McMahon knows this is a toueh blow

play later in the season.
HL -.got a sore arm, so rest is the cure for that at this
point," McMahon said. "It's important that we guard
arms. It's important that we take care of people so they
can perform when they're ready. It's an opportunity, and
a must, for some other guys to step forward."
Ball sports a 5-1 record and 2.22 ERA with 41 strikeouts
in 52.2 innings pitched.
In addition, sophomore third baseman Daniel Brooks
could miss the remainder of the season after breaking his
arm during practice on Wednesday.
"That's a difficult loss at this point," McMahon said.
"We really hurt for Daniel because he's been an integral
I part of our ball club in so many ways. He plays third,
plays second, could play left field, DH for us."
Brooks has a .172 batting average with one home run
and three RBI. He has played in 16 games this season and
started six games.

Brian Shaffer So for this one last time, I will climb

Shf At Home blue in the face. .
bshaffer@alligator.org News broke Wednesday morning
that Anthony Roberson has decided to
possibly forgo his senior season and test
the waters of the NBA draft. This came as no great shock, as he
wrestled greatly with the same decision a year ago.
A couple hours later, some more news broke that his team-
mate Matt Walsh was going to do the same. And now rumors
are swirling that Lee Humphrey, Chris Richard and Jack Barry
have all followed suit.
Of course, I am being facetious in regards to the last three,
but what is stopping them?
The cookie-cutter reasoning given by players like Roberson
and Walsh around the country makes plenty of sense. They
want to see if they can live their lifelong dream of playing in
the NBA, but they will not hire an agent so that they can return
to school if the NBA thumbs its nose at them.
I am in no way an NBA draft expert, so I have no idea where
Walsh fits in, but what I do know is that there are 30 teams in
the league, 12 players on each roster and only two rounds in
the draft. Common sense tells me that this is the most difficult
professional sport to break into.
Take into account the influx of European players and per-
haps the largest crop of high schoolers making the jump due
to the looming age limit sanction, and the numbers just don't
