STUDENT LIFE
Asbestos fear causes student to exit dorm
-Workers build a containment area to hold and decontaminate UF student Randy Gruby's personal be-
longings outside Reid Hall.
By CRYSTAL HENRY
Alligator Writer
chenry@alligator.org
In early April, UF student and
Boca Raton native Randy Gruby
not only had to evacuate for a
possible health hazard, but also
was forced to leave behind all of
his belongings in a dorm room in
Reid Hall.
His clothes, computer and
even his new keyboard had to be
decontaminated after his mother,
Wendy Blasser-Gruby, a certified
industrial hygienist and Florida-li-
censed asbestos consultant, detect-
ed what she said were dangerous
amounts of asbestos in her son's
dorm room.
"He asked if he could wash his
lungs out," she said.
And while UF Department of
Housing and Residence Education
maintains that asbestos levels are
not hazardous, Blasser-Gruby said
she is not taking any chances.
Inhaled asbestos fibers are
known to cause disabling respira-
tory diseases and various types of
cancers.
Gruby's sister, Rebecca, also a UF
student, said her brother, a nmechani-
cal engineering and piano perfor-
mance major, left everything behind
in his dorm room and moved into
her off-campus apartment. -
The brother-and-sister pair
shared a bed for two weeks, she
said.
"UF should definitely take
responsibility for its facili-
ties."
Rebecca Gruby
UF student
Blasser-Gruby, who claims to
be one of the first licensed asbestos
consultants in Florida, determined
the' amount of airborne asbestos
present in her son's dorm room by
conducting a six-hour air sample by
sucking air through a filter.
The test she performed showed
36 asbestos structures per square
millimeter, which she conceded is
lower than the allowable 70 struc-
tures per square millimeter.
But Blasser-Gruby explained
that although her test shows a
lower amount of asbestos than
allowed, the test was done "pas-
sively" without blowing all of
the surfaces in the room with a

Provost finalists in demand
* FOUR OF THE SIX
NAMED COULD END UP
AT OTHER SCHOOLS.
By MIKE GIMIGNANI

UF's best provost candi-
dates could be going, going
- gone.
In naming six finalists to be
interviewed next week as part
of the search for UF's No. 2
administrator, the university's
Provost Search Committee
disclosed Tuesday that at least
four of the top candidates are
also finalists in other academic
searches nationwide.
Other schools with eyes on
the candidates are Michigan
State University, the University
of Missouri and the University
of Wisconsin at Madison.
Committee members
agreed at the meeting that the
UF job still seems like the most
attrac-
UF tive
Administration p o0s -
tion.
Still, the uncertainty over
these finalists,+who could drop
out of the race at any time, led
the committee to dismiss out-
right only two of the 10 people
they considered Tuesday.
The remaining two are-
"persons of interest," accord-
ing to committee Chairman
Doug Barrett, for whom
more investigation will be
performed but they, like
the two dropped Monday,
are considered "back-burner"
candidates.
"If somebody falls off the
map, we could reconvene and
decide whether we want to in-
terview these people we have
more questions on," Barrett
said.
Barrett later told the
Alligator he wasn't concerned
by the possible volatility of the
finalist group.
"We have an extraordinary
pool of candidates," he said.
"And it's good to know these

Former SG president remembered with scholarship
By CRISTYLE WOOD
Alligator Contributing Writer
A scholarship fund has been
established to honor a former UF
Student Body president who died
last month and who some credit
with being responsible for UF's cur-
rent telephone and online registra-
tion systems.
Chris Tompkins, of Brandon,
who served as Student Government
president in 1994 and who would
have turned 35 years old Sunday,
died April 30 at H. Lee Moffitt
Cancer Center in Tampa after being
diagnosed with leukemia in 2004.
"I didn't realize he was in such
bad shape. It took him pretty quick,"
said Charlie Grapski, a political sci-
ence teaching assistant at UF and
close friend of Tompkins.
Tompkins, who suffered fatigue
during a cam-
paign race for
state representa-
tive, admitted
himself into
a hospital in
Brandon.,
Boy There, the UF
Topkins alumnus was
Tompkins diagnosed with
cancer, Grapski said.
Tompkins' ties to UF run deep.
In addition to serving as Student
Body president, the former Gator
'was also a student'senator and G
treasurer.
After graduation, Tompkins, a
leader in the Hillsborough County
Republican Party, became an aide to
State Rep. Faye Culp in Tallahassee
and helped develop Florida's Y2K
plan.
Amie Riggle, a longtime friend
of Tompkins and his chief of staff
when he was SG president, helped
arrange his funeral services in
Brandon and said she was happy
to see Tompkins' UF colleagues turn
out for the ceremony. -
"Chris possessed a unique com-
bination of intelligence, enthusiasm
and kindness. His passion for politics
and community service was rivaled
only by his love of Gator football
and the University of Florida," said
Riggle, who was key in establishing
the Chris Tompkins Scholarship
Fund. She added that she hoped the
fund could be a legacy to his service
to the university.
Brian Siemienas, who served
with Tompkins in UF politics, said
he hopes the fund will help current
students recognize that "many of
the things students currently enjoy
at UF are a result of the efforts of
Chris Tompkins, including the two
recreational centers, the recently ex-
panded union and the current tele-
phone and online phone systems."
Grapski remembers his friend
and colleague.
"Chris was a great friend and
one of the best people I have ever
known," Grapski said. "He would
have been a great asset to the state."
Tompkins is survived by his
mother, Betty Jo Tompkins of
Brandon.
To make a contribution to the Chris
Tompkins Scholarship Fund, please
send a check, made payable to "UF
Foundation" (note Tompkins on memo
line), to:

UF cancels more than 50 online psychology classes
Department cites 'unforeseen' fund cuts
By STEPHEN MAGRUDER
Alligator Writer
smagruder@alligator.org
UF psychology students have had
the ..door to their online courses for both
Summer and Fall semesters, slammed in
their faces.
Two e-mails sent. to the psychology
major listserv April 13 told students that
more than 50 online classes in the psy-
chology department would be canceled
through Fall due to "unforeseen funding
issues."
History junior Evan Nooe, who was
registered for three online courses before
the cancellation, said he had to drop his
psychology major as a result.
Because of the timing of the notifica-
tion, he also had to wait until the drop/
add period to select substitute courses.
"It was canceled after the time that we
registered," Nooe said.
"Basically, I had to go back and register
like I was a freshman."
Nooe, who said he is continuing to iron
out schedule issues, added that when he
called the department to inquire about the
cancellations, a lack of funding was the
only given reason.
Students could register for Summer
courses by each student's assigned start
time between March 28 and April 14, and
could do so after his or her start time from
April 15 to May 3. t
An e-mail sent April 26 by professor
Keith Berg alerted students to the open-
ing of two campus psychology courses for
Summer A.
However, about half of the online
courses in the department were not avail-
able on campus, so students who were
dropped from those courses could not sit
in on the live lecture, Nooe said.
Students wishing to file a complaint
may e-mail the psychology, advising office
at psyadv@grove.ufl.edu.

* NEW POLLING EQUIPMENT
REQUIRES EXTRA SPACE IN
ALREADY-CRAMPED OFFICE.
By IVETTE MENDEZ
Alligator Writer
imendez@alligator.org
With gubernatorial elections
looming and fewer than four
years before the next presidential
race, the Supervisor of Elections
Office is bursting at the seams.
In a presentation to the
Alachua County Commission on
Tuesday, Supervisor of Elections
Pam Carpenter requested the
allocation of more space for the
elections office and its ware-
house.
Due to legislative changes
and the high number of early
voters in November's presiden-
tial election, .the space in the
current office, located in the
County Administration Building
in downtown Gainesville, is not
sufficient for all of the office's
employees and equipment.
The amount of space needed
for early voting in the presiden-
tial election took up the whole
commission building, Carpenter
said.
"The supervisor before me
had requested more space, and
I'm continuing that request," she
said.
There are approximately 300
changes in the legislation still be-
ing pored throfigh, she said.
One change of note is the
requirement of audio-enhanced
voting equipment for the visually
impaired.
The new state- and federally
mandated equipment takes up
more space, Carpenter said, add-
ing that the current warehouse is
also too small for
Elections all of the office's
2005 records.
The supervi-
sor requested the consolidation
of the Supervisor of Elections
Office and the warehouse.
"That would be the most effi-
cient way for us to do business,"
Carpenter said.
Carpenter requested from the
Commission no less than 30,000
square feet of space for the new
office, along with adequate park-
ing.
This fall would be the most
convenient time for the office to
move to a new location because
there will be no elections at that
time.
"If possible and we could
find a space, we could move in
October 2005," Carpenter said.

Medical students showcase different type of talent
By LYNDSEY LEWIS
Alligator Writer
Ilewis@alligator.org
Medical professionals, students and staff
will prove they do more than just wield
thermometers and stethoscopes when they
converge on a local stage this weekend.
This Saturday, the UF College of
Medicine presents its first-ever tal-
ent show fundraiser at the P.K. Yonge
Performing Arts Center in Gainesville.
The show, titled "Reveillance: In Celebration
of Life and Service," is being staged partly to
raise money for mission trips, show organiz-
ers said.
"I really admire and respect the kids who
still do this stuff once they're in med school,"
said Beverly Vidaurreta, a clinical assistant
professor and program director in the Office
of Student Counseling and Development.
Vidaurreta said the show's main pur-
pose is to honor the memory of Caroline
Cody, a former medical student who was
found murdered in her apartment in 2000.
"In Caroline's memory, I wanted to do
something," Vidaurreta said. -
"She was always very dedicated."
Both of Cody's parents will attend
Saturday hight's show, and Lakshmi
Gopal, one of C6dy's former medical
school peers, will make opening re-
marks at .the event's commencement.
Proceeds will benefit next Spring's medi-
cal mission trips, which are scheduled to
include projects in Haiti, Mexico, Ecuador
and the Dominican Republic, said Kuon Lo,
a first-year medical student.
"In Caroline's memory, I wanted to
do something."
Beverly Vidaurreta
Office of Student Couselingand
Development program director
While the second-year students will
spread their expertise on next year's trips,
all four classes will participate in the show.
Staff, faculty and others will perform as
well, Lo said.
Show founder Vidaurreta added that
Saturday's production will showcase
a variety of talents by the participants,
including singing, dancing, piano-play-
ing and a five-piece jazz band ensemble.
The event also will include a silent
auction, but. organizers encourage
those unable to come to the festivities
or bid on the items to make donations.
"Even if people cannot attend, we're hoping
they're willing to support it," Vidaurreta said.
Tickets are available for $5 at the College
of Medicine Office of Admissions and Office
of Medical Education.
Tickets purchased at the door are $7.

Five held on drug charges
By IVETTE MENDEZ
Alligator Writer
imendez@alligator.org
Three Gainesville residents were arrested
Tuesday after police reportedly found evidence of
drug trafficking in the dwelling of two suspects.
Deputies from the Alachua County Sheriff's
Office went to the apartment of Donald Wayne
Calvert, 25, situated at 3515 SW 39th Blvd., to arrest
him on an outstanding warrant for possession of
cocaine and marijuana, one felony and one misde-
meanor, ASO spokesman Steve Maynard said.
The officers found marijuana when they en-
tered Calvert's apartment, reports state.
After obtaining a search warrant for Calvert's
apartment, police found a total of 211 grams of
cocaine, 433 grams of marijuana and a handgun,
according to reports.
Calvert was charged with possession of mari-
juana with intent to distribute, armed trafficking
in cocaine, possession of a firearm by a felon and
maintaining a dwelling where drugs are sold.
Amy Callie-Marie Weathers, 22, lives in the
apartment with. Calvert and was present at the
time of the arrest.
.After the search, Weathers was arrested for
trafficking in cocaine, possession of marijuana
with intent to distribute, possession of drug
paraphernalia and maintaining a dwelling where
drugs are sold.
Another person of unknown relation, Michael
Wallace Kelsoe, 39, was also at the residence at the
time and was arrested for three outstanding mis-
demeanor warrants and possession of marijuana,
Maynard said.
The suspects were taken to the Alachua
County Jail.
In a similar incident, two UF students were ar-
rested for drug possession on April 27 after a two-
month investigation, reports state.
Public Skyler McCoy Smith, 19, was
Safety arrested in his residence at College
Manor Apartments after selling al-
prazolam, the generic drug name for Xanex, to an

During the transaction, he told the undercover
deputy he had Adderall in his possession and in-
tended to sell it to college students, reports state.
He also was charged with possession of and
intent to sell LSD, marijuana and Ritalin.
It is unknown if the suspects actually sold any
drugs on campus, Maynard said.
Amanda Jennifer Smith, 19, of Beatty Towers,
was present during the transaction and was ar-
rested for possession of marijuana and drug para-
phernalia found in her purse, reports state.
The apartment also reportedly contained the
materials to grow mushrooms.
The two suspects are unrelated, Maynard said.
UF seeks new 'vision' for union
UNION, from page 1
experience on a large campus.
"There are dearly five or six (ap-
plicants) that rise to the top," he said.
Out of the 48 submitted, only
14 applicants met the minimum
requirements for the position, which
requires a master's degree and at
least seven years of experience at a
comparably-sized student union.
Phone interviews will be con-
ducted next Friday by. the search
committee to determine Kratzer's
replacement. The weight then rests
on the shoulders of Vice President
for. Student Affairs Patricia Telles-
Irvin, who will have the final word
on which candidate will be in charge
of the 513,000 square-foot facility. -
"It's someone who has a vision to
take the building to the next level,"
Telles-Irvin said.
She'said she is looking for some-
one who is. "good with financial mat-
ters, excellent with students, shows
leadership abilities and can be com-
fortable living in this community."
Telles-Irvin added that maintain-
ing the revenue stream will be one
of the major challenges the new
director will face. The director will
have to ensure the facility will have
the "correct funding to maintain the
standards we expect" while oversee-
ing a $6.2 million budget.
Mike Mironack, previously the
associate director of the building,
has served as interim director since
Kratzer's promotion arid is the only
in-house candidate who passed the
first exam heading into interviews.
The UF graduate and 10-year
Reitz Union employee is anything
but a new face.
"I've gotten to know the place re-
ally well," Mironack said. "I'm very
passionate about the work we do
here. I think I can bring my talents
to bear on the things we need to be
doing to make the union a better
place."

Editorial
Off hours
More than politics makes
bar-closing proposal wrong
T he problem with extending bar closing hours in town by
an hour isn't that local officials are using the issue like
a poker chip.
It's just an idea that isn't well thought-out.
Of course, when Bernie Machen doesn't have anything,
at all, ever, in this world or the next, to do with the recent
decision to cancel the "Drunk Bitch Friday" portion of the
Lex and Terry radio program, we shiver at the lack of ap-
parent cleanliness.
When something looks, quacks and walks like a university
president, we fairly can assume it is one, as indirect as his in-
fluence may.be.
On a side note, believing "Drunk Bitch Friday" drives
students to drink alcohol is about as ludicrous as those
Facebook clubs with names like, "Oh my [insert deity here,
such as Zarathustra], Carl Randalfloyd is on Facebook."
And when we see now-exiting City Commissioner Tony
Domenech promise to vote to allow an extra hour of non-
alcoholic bar time, lose the election and then vote against
recommending it from his post on the city's Public Safety
Committee, our freshly. furrowed eyebrows get an even
more rigorous workout.
The reports' of shady dealings may not be totally un-
expected: He is an honorary member of Phi Delta Theta
Fraternity.
Besides, who cares? If we read the voter turnout; just
more than 10 percent of Gainesville residents. Probably far
less than that for students.
But the other Phi Delta Theta member in the news,
Student Body President Joe Goldberg, has been a man
possessed by an unnatural force in pushing the same or-
dinance.
We don't blame him, because it's a popular position to
take. It may have contributed to his becoming president.
Extending the closing time in the way proposed just
would invite a host of sponsored scientists and others who
provide expert testimony that, somehow, an hour- without
alcohol actually can make the bar-closing situation worse.
We don't have enough facts to challenge the evidence;
nor, we believe, does the Student Government committee
headed by Goldberg that has advocated the extension.
Furthermore, it's a silly idea to believe that a city ad-
ministrator would accept the wing-and-a-prayer hope ex-
pressed by the Safety and Fair Entertainment Committee
that getting students to public transportation would:be
any less hectic at 3 a.m. than at 2 a.m.
Keeping cops, bus drivers and other employees on the
payroll for an extra hour sure does suck up whatever's left
in the city's piggy bank.
But even that is irrelevant, because it's just not feasible
from a business standpoint for bars to baby-sit their drunk
customers an extra hour while they don't make the booze
money.
So bars will close at the same time they did before,
which leaves our drink-seekers at square one.
Rather than advocate for later bar hours, or perhaps in
conjunction with it, SAFE should look into more reason-
able alternatives, like the pre-election recoinmendation
by candidate Rob Brinkman to limit alcohol purchase by
bracelets or some similar method.
Because it's obvious to us that extending the closing
. time without other plans won't stop anyone from abusing
alcohol. 0

ALLIGATOR
www.alligator.org/opinions
Admitting blame not the Russian way
after six decades of casting sullen glances at America
and struggling with "that Democracy thing," Russia
still isn't willing to admit it was wrong.
I normally applaud those questioning the facts in a world
where history is written by the victor, but this is getting silly.
Russian leaders receritly took offense when President
Bush acknowledged in a letter to the president of Latvia that
the U.S.S.R. forcibly occupied Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania
in the aftermath of World War II.
Instead, the Russian leaders insist their hordes of furry-
hatted Gestapo were invited by the Baltic states' govern-
ments to come in and do as they pleased.
They're going to have to pass around a lot more of that
free "wodka" before I'm going to believe that.
Sergei Yastrzhembsky, the Russian ambassador to' the
European Union, issued an official statement at a special
news conference in Moscow rebuking President Bush.
No one understood -his statement, however, because it
was in Russian.
A reporter then angered Yastrzhembsky when he asked
him to stop speaking his "crazy moon-language."
Yastrzhembsky stormed out in response, screaming,
"There was no occupation! Everyone was on vacation!"
This sentiment was echoed by the Russian Foreign
Ministry's .Web site, which insisted citing international
law that the U.S.S.R. technically didn't "occupy" the Baltic
states because they weren't officially in a state of war.
The site went on to insist that Russia technically owns the
entire universe, based on international law, because Sputnik
called dibs on outer space "like, way before America did."
Russian President Vladimir Putin himself chided Western
nations, according to The Associated Press, saying that
Russians "have never divided the victory between ours and
theirs."
Yes, Vladdy, you never distinguished between your vic-
tory and our victory. That's because we didn't use our victory
as an excuse to sneak in a few extra communist shenanigans
Before the crackdown.
But we can forgive the Russians
this little bit of historical amnesia in
light of their recent commitment to
furthering Democracy.
For instance, Russia, under the
Matt Sanchez guidance of Putin, has instituted a
Editorial Notebook system in which regional leaders are
msanchez@alligator.org appointed by the government rather
than elected.
You may be wondering how ex-
actly this is a good thing for Democracy.
Well, I'm-not really sure either. But Putin is quick to point
out that Russians elect their president directly, instead of us-
ing an Electoral College, which he says "might be even more
democratic" than America.
This is a fabulous strategy instead of answering for
your own mistakes, you try-to suggest.that your accuser has
more problems than you do.
You may remember this sort of logic from grade school:
"You're stupid."
"Nuh-uh, you're the stupid one."
That never ended the argument then, and it's surely not
going to now.
All kidding aside, Russia would do best to take its lumps
on this issue and move on. Bush has admitted that the United
States made a mistake in playing a part in the Soviet Unior's
occupation of these nations, and it wouldn't take much for
Russia to accept its responsibility as well.
Russia was a vital part of the Allies' victory in World
War II and could be a major player on the world stage in the
future. If Russia wants everyone else to recognize this, how-
ever, Russian officials have to admit where they went wrong
so we all can move oN

Letters to the Editor
Column goes too far in defending mi-
nors' rights to abortions
Editor: In regards to Eva Kis' column on
Tuesday, I agree that many age-qualifica-
tions do not seem to.make much sense.
However, an abortion is a medical pro-
cedure, and the law remains that parental
consent must be given for medical proce-
dures on a minor.
Kis makes a very weak argument when
she implies that if a girl is old enough to
conceive, she should be old enough to
abort.
That's like saying a 6-year-old who can
play soccer should be able to authorize
medical procedures himself if he gets in-
jured.
If you are going to attack the parental
consent for abortion, then you must attack
the greater system of parental consent for
medical procedures.
A 13-year-old may have the ability for
rational thought, but that does not mean
that she has earned the right to make every
decision in her life.
Clearly a 13-year-old who is dumb
enough to get pregnant should be under
the guidance of parental figures for 'a
while longer.
It seems to me that some people are
fighting to make sure that more fetuses
can be aborted than already are.

Eastside plays dirty in striving for No. 4
ranking in national high-school poll
Editor: As an alumni of Eastside High
School's IB program, I find it hilarious
that Eastside was-ranked as the fourth best
high school in the nation by Newsweek.
If not for the prestigious IB program,
Eastside probably would be on the bottom
of the list.
Eastside is located in one of the worst
neighborhoods in Gainesville, and the IB
program was established there for integra-
tion purposes.
. The students that are in IB are extreme-
ly segregated from the other students in
the school, and at least when I graduated,
most IB graduates were white.
As the article in Tuesday's Alligator ex-
plains, all the other schools that are ranked
higher than Eastside have less than 1 per-
cent of their student body rated as impov-
erished, whereas 40 percent of Eastside's friends and continued to work together

Expert tests show mixed results.
ASBESTOS, from page 1
leaf blower, so she assumed the actual
amount of structures would exceed 70.
An "aggressive" test, which normally
involves blowing all of the surfaces be-
fore testing, could not be done without
increasing the asbestos exposure to the
people in the building, she said.
Gruby's sister said she thinks "UF
should definitely take responsibility for
its facilities" and for the possible health
hazards on campus.
Sharon Blansett, assistant director
of housing, said GLE Associates, the
environmental consulting firm hired by
UF, found "no negligible amounts of
asbestos."
The firm conducted two rounds, of
tests. The first of which were wipe-tests
that netted 117,000 asbestos structures
per square centimeter on top of a televi-
sion in the hall lounge, along with 26,000
structures on Gruby's desk.
The second test, which used a special
vacuum, found no structures.
Blasser-Gruby said it is "totally im-
possible" to find thousands of structures
with one test and none with the other.
The asbestos problem could be solved
if UF decontaminated the entire building_
and covered all of the dorm floors that
have the type of tile found in Reid Hall
with indoor-outdoor carpeting, she said.
Blansett said the old tile in many
of the rooms in Reid Hall
Student already has been replaced,
Life and more are expected to be
renovated this summer.
She said projects like that take years
-of planning because of the time and
money involved to renovate a building
of that size and age.
Hundreds of dorm-renovation proj-
ects are going on this summer, she said.
Blasser-Gruby would not comment
on whether legal action against the uni-
versity was a possibility.
When asked, given her .experience
with asbestos, if she felt her son was
removed from the hazard in time:
"I don't want to answer that. It's too
painful to think about," she said.

than our own."
Another candidate, UF College of
Engineering Dean Pramod Khargonekar,
bypassed this phase of the search en-
tirely, having completed it during the
first round of searching that took place
earlier this year.
He could not be reached for comment
Wednesday.
UF President Bernie Machen sent the
committee back to the drawing board
after the recommendations from the first
search did not meet his expectations.
Machen set ,the goal for the second
search of two to four recommended
names, plus Khargonekar. He also
stressed the importance of diversity
among the candidates.
The six finalists number four white
men and two white women. The two
minority semifinalists, Gerardo.Gonzalez
of Indiana University and John Roberts
from Ohio State, did not move on from
Tuesday's deliberations..
The six finalists are expected to
come to Gainesville next Tuesday and

views will be broadcast on the UF Web

resume.

At a mere three-and-a-half years old, Mary' Remer saw

Since that day more than 25 years ago, she has been a devo

fans packed into movie theaters across the world, just
anxiously awaiting the release of "Star Wars: about i

Remer is a member of Gator Knights, the
GaLnesville chapter of TheForce net, an unofficial, Joh
Internet "Star Wars" tan site. The group of ap- Ce
proxunately 15 members purchased tickets online e
when they first went on sale April 20 and will be
in full costume at Regal Butler Plaza Cinemas to watch the fi
chapter of 'Star Wars" at 12:01 a.m.
Remer, whose favorite character has been Luke Skywal
ever since she fell in love with him in 1983, will be dressed a
ledi krught, she said.
"A lot of us are going to be Jedis.' Remer said.

I've been around music as long as I-

There was a time when I bought CDs
as if they were Microsoft stock selling for
a penny a share. I would come home with
at least two CDs a week.
It wasn't until I bought New Kids on the

"Californication" at the same time that I knew I had an
addiction.
Being addicted to music does have its benefits -I can
find a song lyric in almost any conversation.
Being such a lover of music, I must be in a band,
right? Wrong.
The only singing I do is on karaoke night, though
I've threatened to my mrn:' thit if -_nijing badly sold, I

Rapture relocates to Fiis
By ALEJANDRA CANCINO
Contributing Writer
For all of those wanting to satisfy
their cravings for something other than
Hip-Hop, Latin flavors and '80s nights,
Rapture promises to give their customers a
new taste of gothic music
and style Thursday nights i Rapture
beginning May 19.
"Rapture is targeted that young

Gothic nights is spon- founder-an
scored by MorningStar Ra
and his partner Stephen,
who would not disclose
his last name. They origi-
nally started their business in 2003 as a
weekly event at Jet Set nightclub.
When Jet Set was sold to a new owner,
MorningStar and Stephen decided to
move their own "club nights" to a new
location signing a partnership with the
owners of Ffis nightclub located at 6 SW
2nd Street.
As part of that partnership,
MorningStar and Stephen operate the club
every Thursday night under the name of
Rapture.
"It's kind of a club within a club that
Raven Morningstar

ptue Although Rapture
ture would be a full-service
bar, MorningStar and
Stephen want to try to
create an environment for people who
don't want to drink. "We thought it would
be nice to have coffee, have an espresso
there," said MorningStar. "Some people
don't like to drink, but they like to come
out and listen to music."
Rapture would operate from 10 p.m.
to 2 a.m.
The cover charge is $5, and everyone
who is 18 and up is welcome to attend

Iron & Wine soothes a sold-out Common Grounds
By SARAH ANDERSON
Avenue Writer
Sam Beam has it backward. Instead of building fame and
fortune with a devoted backing band before breaking for a
spotlight solo career, the bearded bard better known as Iron
& Wine, planted his humble roots alone.
In the days before he let banjo players-and backup vo-
calists join him on stage or in the studio, Beam set down his
first EP at home on a four-track recorder. And although the
addition of musicians other than Beam has roughed some
smooth edges, Iron & Wine still fits the soundtrack of a
summer evening spent on a porch swing.
Yes, the Woman King EP, which Sub Pop Records re-
leased in February, is edgier than previous projects, incor-
porating heavier percussion and even some electric guitar.
But, at heart, Iron.& Wine is still an acoustic band with
electric energy.
Beam and Co. proved that April 28, when they played to
a sold-out crowd at Common Grounds.
The show began smooth and slow, giving the audience
a chance to shake off a week of finals and settle into sum-
mer like dust in the bed of an old pickup. Beam's lazy lilt
and easy command of the band at first seemed to clash
with the excitement of the audience. But it just took a few
songs before the band matched that energy and continued
to build on it.
Beam's sister, Sarah, who delivered haunting harmonies
throughout the set, had only to pick up her fiddle to elicit
applause and a cry of "Get that fiddle on, baby!"
She got that fiddle on, launching into a toe-tapping,
shot-taking solo that did not disappoint the expectant
crowd.
. For a musician I normally turn to when insomnia strikes
or studying in silence is impossible, Beam has found a way
to rock, folk style.
As the set progressed, the quiet, almost timid image I
once had of the enigmatic singer faded. He still showed
his sensitive side, climbing into sweet falsetto verses set
off by soft brush percussion and Sarah's backing vocals.
But enter the electric guitar and a quick, percussive banjo,
and he was as gritty as Mississippi mud, spitting lyrics like
Copenhagen.
Iron & Wine has a studio sound best described as a hot
toddy, smooth and soothing enough to lull you into an af-
ternoon nap. But put the band on stage, and the sound is
all Sparks, a taste df Heaven with a punch you never see
coming.
Beam, whose tracks have found their way onto compila-
tions for "Garden State," "The O.C." and "The L Word,"
will be at the Beta Bar in Tallahassee on June 8. For more
information, visit www.ironandwine.com.
'Jade' kicks kung fu cliche, brings new challenges
ldeo games and ninjas just
mix. Questionably, each is
V the ying of the others yang.
And yet oddly, in a medium
so overly wrought with kung fu
that Mario was the last character
to jump without flipping, there
still has been a great lack of great
Asian ambiance.
But "Jade Empire," a recent
BioWare release, lets players
control a powerful martial-arts
student with a secret heritage
whose quaint, sheltered life is
shattered by a less-than-random.
bandit attack which spirals into a
quest to save an ancient mystical
kingdom.
Honestly, it is a template for
adventure.
But it's so overused that the
Xbox's last RPG hit, "Fable,"
opened the exact same way.
But "Jade" does something
great with this hackneyed video
game cliche by improving on al-
most every aspect of the classic,
action RPG and brings a much
needed flavor to the gaming
world.
The game presents a world
laced with emperors instead of
kings, chi instead of magic and
teahouses instead of taverns
(players even face an army ex-
perimenting with fledgling gun-
po w der
converted
from fire-
works.)
And while
Brett Kelman the world
Don't Hate the Playa of "Jade"
bkelman@alligator.org feels by
no means
real, it is
easily recognizable as ancient
China because like "Jade" as a
whole its environment catersto
the cliche and creates something
new.
But of course, even with all
the ambience, no martial arts
romp would succeed if everyone
wasn't kung fu fighting.
Fortunately, there is plenty.
In combat, "Jade" wields un-
complicated controls limited to
attack, strong attack, area attack
and block.
You can keep the'bloodshed
simple and constant while seam-
lessly switching among more
.than 25 fighting styles, skillfully
exploiting the weakness of any
opponent.
Either strategy will allow a
player to tear through the op-
posing hordes of men, ghosts
and demons that foolishly will
plague him on his quest toward
the capital of the empire.
"Jade" reflects this duality of
strategy in almost all aspects of
play.
Outside of combat, for exam-
ple, "Jade" presents its protago-
nist with a myriad of quests and
optional challenges that criss-
cross so often that what begins
as a selfless errand for a nameless
peasant might blossom into a
plot-crucial exchange of favors.
Still, those yearning for sim-
plicity always are presented with
a dialogue option along the lines
of "I'll beat your ass!" which
leads to a simpler, bloodier and
significantly different play expe-
rience.

Gators up after losses, ready for SEC Tournament
By SPENCER DAVIS-VANNESS
Alligator Writer
'The UF softball team hasn't had
much success in the Southeastern
Conference Tournament in recent
years.
Aside from a trip to the semifi-
nals in 2003, tournament wins have
been few and far between. So when
the Gators went into a seven-game,
late-season losing skid, a team that
once reached a No. 16 national rank-
ing began to look like it might fall
right into line with past results.
However, a little more than a
week later, the Gators now look
like they may be the team to beat
heading into the SEC Tournament,
which starts today and runs through
Sunday. UF is hosting the event and
will face Tennessee today.
Starting with last week's double-
header sweep of FSU, the Gators
have gone 5-0, including a dominat-
ing performance at Kentucky dur-
ing the weekend.
"The week we lost seven of nine
games, the team had really hit rock
bottom emotionally and they were
pretty down on themselves," Coach
Karen Johns said. "But we've been
a resilient team all season; we have
great heart and leadership.
"We've had some rest now and
really had time to get back and work
on some of the basics. I think that
we've made it past the problems we
were having."
One reason
for the Gators'
recent success
may be the return
of junior out-
fielder Lindsey
C a m e r o n
Cameron was
Johns forced to sit out
for several weeks with a wrist injury
last month but returned to action
last week against FSU.
Since returning, Cameron is bat-
ting .396 and recorded her second
career grand slam this past Saturday
against Kentucky.
"I think that the players are
happy to have her back, and I think
that in many ways we count on her,"
Johns said. "She's a very emotion-
ally charged athlete; she keeps the
players in line in some ways, and
when she wasn't there, I think that
we may have panicked a little bit."
With-or without a star player, the
Gators softball teams of recent years
have been anything but spectacular
in SEC Tournament play. This year's
senior class has seen two conference
tournaments in which their team
failed to win a single game.
Senior designated player and
pitcher Mandy Schuerman thinks
that this year may be different.
"We have a great team this year,"
she said. "I think that if we go out
there and play well, there's no rea-
son why we can't win it all.
"Everyone wants to go out there
and get a championship."
Although the Gators have fallen
a bit in the standings during the past
month, Schuerman isn't at all disap-
pointed in her team's No. 5 seed in
the tournament.
"The way I look at it, we play in
a very good conference," she said.
"Any team seeded one through
eight has a shot at going all the
way."
PLAYERS HONORED: Two UF
Softball players earned spots on
the. All-Southeastern Conference
Softball teams and another was
named to the Good Works team, the
league announced Wednesday at the
opening ceremony for the 2005 SEC
Tournament. The All-SEC teams are
nominated by and voted on by the
league's head coaches.
Cameron was
named to the All-
SEC first team.
Cameron has a
team leading .544
batting average
and a .965 slug-
ging percentage
in conference
Cameronplay. This is
Cameron's second All-SEC honor.
Sophomore Melissa Zick also
earned her second All-SEC honor as
she was named an All-SEC second
team infielder.
Sophomore Lauren Roussell was
recognized as part of the SEC-Good
Works team for her community in-
volvemen throughout the year.
NCAA TRACK: The No. 2
ranked UF men's track and field
team and the ninth-ranked wom-
en's team will travel to Nashville,
Tenn., for the 2005 Southeastern
Conference Outdoor Track and
Field Championships May 12-15 at
-Vanderbilt Track.
The competition begins for
the men with the decathlon on
Thursday, while the Gator wom-
en's team will be in action starting
on. Friday. The men's squad will
be looking for its fourth SEC out-
door title in program history and
first since 1987. The Gators enter
the event having finished second
or better at six consecutive cham-
pionship meets dating to the 2003
NCAA outdoor meet. The women's
squad has won the event three
times under current coach Tom
Jones and hasn't finished outside
the top five since 1996.
MEN'S GOLF: The No. 7 UF
men's golf team has been selected to
participate in the 2005 NCAA East
Regional Golf Tournament as the
No. 3 seed. The 27-member field will

Gators continue recent downturn, lose 11-5 to USF
By TIM CASEY
Alligator Writer
tcasey@alligator.org
Someone needs to post a miss-
ing person's report.
Maybe a dozen, UF baseball
players will appear on the side
of milk cartons in the near future,
because they are nowhere to be
found.
.A group of imposters have
been wearing the orange and
blue jerseys since April 17 when
the Gators were ranked No. 5 in
the nation.
Since then, the team has
dropped nine of the last 14
games, including consecutive
games against South Florida in
the last two days.
UF fell to USF in Tampa last
night 11-5 after losing to the Bulls
8-7 at home on Tuesday.
If the slump wasn't -bad
enough, the team had to endure
an agonizing game that lasted
nearly four hours.
Freshman Tommy Wynn (0-2)
started for the Gators, but was
only able to retire one batter
before being removed from the
game.
His ERA skyrocketed from
4.24 to 7.79 in the first inning
due to the seven earned runs he
allowed on three walks and four
hits.
UF coach Pat McMahon
stresses strike zone command to
his pitchers, a message that his
starting pitcher failed to grasp on
Wednesday.
"You've got
to command
the strike zone
with strike
one," McMahon
said. "Tommy
didn't do that
S / tonight."
McMahon Senior left-
hander .Mike Pete entered the
game to deliver- his strongest
performance of the season. Pete
pitched five innings, allowing
only one earned run while strik-
ing out five batters.
Center fielder Jeff Corsaletti
and second baseman Adam Davis
provided the Gators with the only
other strong performances.
"We had guys in scoring po-
sition with less than two outs,"
Corsaletti said. "We gotta exe-
cute. We're striking out, we're not

NCAA MEN'S AND WOMEN'S TENNIS
UF tries not to repeat 2004
By MICHAEL MAURINO
Alligator Writer
mmaurino@alligator.org
A poor memory serves an athlete well. But
every bad hop. blown call and loss is seared
into athletes' heads so they can remember
that pain.
The UF women's tennis team might relate
to this.
The Gators followed their fourth national
title in 2003 with an undefeated regular sea-
son in 2004. But, as the overall top seed in the
NCAA Championships, they were defeated
by Miami in the second round.
Heading into the first and second rounds,
of the NCAA Championships this weekend,
the now No. 2-seeded Gators (18-2) have last
year's disappointment in the back of their
minds.
Calling the Miami loss a "debacle," Coac.
Roland Thornqvist said it Ji not product ve to"
bring up last season..
"I don't think it's very particularly use-ful
to stand there and sort of remind them ol la-t
* May 12, 1998: In his regular-season colle-
giate finale, junior Brad Wilkerson led the UF
baseball team to its first SEC title in more
than a decade. He struck out nine in less
than eight innings pitched and hit a two-run
home run in the 7-3 win against Georgia.
year," he said. "I think that'll bring out just
more fear, if anything. And that's not the way
to play."
Junior Jennifer Magley has been a star for
the Gators again this season. Paired with se-
nior Zerene Reyes on the doubles side, they
are 14-3. Magley is 12-3 at the top singles
court.
"I try not to look ahead. But I feel
that if you don't believe that you are
going to win, what are you playing a
sport for?"
Jennifer Magley
UF tennis player
One of the team's emotional leaders,

announced he would play for the New Jersey Nets this year,
everyone shrugged, including Zo's wife.
C'mon Zo, you have to give it up. Zo, is basketball worth dying
for?
Mourning surprisingly said yes, that he would risk his life
for basketball glory although he was financially set for life.
But 'the glory wouldn't come in New Jersey. Instead,
Mourning received a strange invitation from the New Heat,
manned by the greatest center of our time, Shaquille O'Neal,
and the rising star Dwayne Wade. Zo was asked to return in a
limited role, and his ego would have to remain in New Jersey,
or in the hospital, or wherever he had to leave it.
Mourning agreed. And his time came. He's shown flashes of
dominance. He'll never get a chance to play 40 minutes a game,
but in game two of the playoffs against New Jersey, Mourning
poured in 21 points and nine rebounds in just 16 minutes of
Shaq replacement time. That was Zo reminding us that he still
has game; he just had to take a little time off.
That sounds like the game of a NBA Hall-of-Famer.
There will still be skeptics was Mourning ever good
enough in his prime? I'll say this: At his peak, which was never
fully reached, Mourning was no Shaq or Bill Russell; Kareem or
Wilt, bat he was a step above Patrick Ewing and Bob Lanier.
So Kobewhen you finally dine with the Cousy, please re-
serve time to discuss the greatness of Alonzo Mourning.

S ecycIe, THURSDAY, MAY 12, 2005 STUDENT LIFE Asbestos fear causes student to exit dorm Workers build a containment area to hold and decontaminate UF student Randy Gruby's personal belongings outside Reid Hall. By CRYSTAL HENRY Alligator Writer chenry@alligator.org In early April, UF student and Boca Raton native Randy Gruby not only had to evacuate for a possible health hazard, but also was forced to leave behind all of his belongings in a dorm room in Reid Hall. His clothes, computer and even his new keyboard had to be decontaminated after his mother, Wendy Blasser-Gruby, a certified industrial hygienist and Florida-licensed asbestos consultant, detected what she said were dangerous amounts of asbestos in her son's dorm room. "He asked if he could wash his lungs out," she said. And while UF Department of Housing and Residence Education maintains that asbestos levels are not hazardous, Blasser-Gruby said she is not taking any chances. Inhaled asbestos fibers are known to cause disabling respiratory diseases and various types of cancers. Gruby's sister, Rebecca, also aUF student, said her brother, a mechanical engineering and piano performance major, left everything behind in his dorm room and moved into her off-campus apartment. The brother-and-sister pair shared a bed for two weeks, she said. "UF should definitely take responsibility for its facilities." Rebecca Gruby UF student Blasser-Gruby, who claims to be one of the first licensed asbestos consultants in Florida, determined the' amount of airborne asbestos present in her son's dorm room by conducting a six-hour air sample by sucking air through a filter. The test she performed showed 36 asbestos structures per square millimeter, which she conceded is lower than the allowable 70 structures per square millimeter. But Blasser-Gruby explained that although her test shows a lower amount of asbestos than allowed, the test was done "passively" without blowing all of the.surfaces in the room with a SEE ASBESTOS, PAGE 8 Provost finalists in demand 0 FOUR OF THE SIX NAMED COULD END UP AT OTHER SCHOOLS.

In naming six finalists to be interviewed next week as part of the search for UF's No. 2 administrator, the university's Provost Search Committee disclosed Tuesday that at least .four of the top candidates are also finalists in other academic searches nationwide.

She added that she hoped the fund could be a legacy to his service to the university. Brian Siemienas, who served with Tompkins in UP politics, said he hopes the fund will help current students recognize that "many of the things students currently enjoy at UF are a result of the efforts of Chris Tompkins, including the two recreational centers, the recently expanded union and the current telephone and online phone systems." Grapski remembers his friend and colleague. "Chris was a great friend and one of the best people I have ever known," Grapski said. "He would have been a great asset to the state."

Two e-mails sent to the psychology major listserv April 13 told students that more than 50 online classes in the psychology department would be canceled through Fall due to "unforeseen funding issues." History junior Evan Nooe, who was registered for three online courses before the cancellation, said he had to drop his psychology major as a result. Because of the timing of the notification, he also had to wait until the drop/ add period to select substitute courses. "It was canceled after the time that we registered," Nooe said. "Basically, I had to go back and register like I was a freshman." Nooe, who said he is continuing to iron out schedule issues, added that when he called the department to inquire about the cancellations, a lack of funding was the only given reason. Students could register for Summer courses by each student's assigned start time between March 28 and April 14, and could do so after his or her start time from April 15 to May 3. f An e-mail sent April 26 by professor Keith Berg alerted students to the opening of two campus psychology courses for SummerA. However, about half of the online courses in the department were not available on campus, so students who were dropped from those courses could not sit in on the live lecture, Nooe said. Students wishing to file a complaint may e-mail the psychology' advising office at psyadv@grove.ufl.edu. Psychology Department Chairman Martin Heesacker directed comment to interim Provost Joe Glover, but calls to Glover's office were not returned by press time. Election official seeks wider open spaces 0 NEW POLLING EQUIPMENT REQUIRES EXTRA SPACE IN ALREADY-CRAMPED OFFICE. By IVETTE MENDEZ Alligator Writer imendez@alligator.org With gubernatorial elections looming and fewer than four years before the next presidential race, the Supervisor of Elections Office is bursting at the seams. In a presentation to the Alachua County Commission on Tuesday, Supervisor of Elections Pam Carpenter requested the allocation of more space for the elections office 'and its warehouse. Due to legislative changes and the high number of early voters in November's presidential election, .the space in the current office, located in the County Administration Building in downtown Gainesville, is not sufficient for all of the office's employees and equipment. The amount of space needed for early voting in the presidential election took up the whole commission building, Carpenter said. "The supervisor before me had requested more space, and I'm continuing that request," she said. There are approximately 300 changes in the legislation still being pored through, she said. One change of note is the requirement of audio-enhanced voting equipment for the visually impaired. The new stateand federally mandated equipment takes up more space, Carpenter said, adding that the current warehouse is also too small for Elections all of the office's 2005 records. The supervisor requested the consolidation of the Supervisor of Elections Office and the warehouse. "That would be the most efficient way for us to do business," Carpenter said. Carpenter requested from the Commission no less than 30,000 square feet of space for the new office, along with adequate parking. This fall would be the most convenient time for the office to move to a new location because there will be no elections at that time. "If possible and we could find a space, we could move in October 2005," Carpenter said.

This Saturday, the UF College of Medicine presents its first-ever talent show fundraiser at the P.K. Yonge Performing Arts Center in Gainesville. The show, titled "R6veillance: In Celebration of Life and Service," is being staged partly to raise money for mission trips, show organizers said. "I really admire and respect the kids who still do this stuff once they're in med school," said Beverly Vidaurreta, a clinical assistant professor and program director in the Office of Student Counseling and Development. Vidaurreta said the show's main purpose is to honor the memory of Caroline Cody, a former medical student who was found murdered in her apartment in 2000. "In Caroline's memory, I wanted to do something," Vidaurreta said."She was always very dedicated." Both of Cody's parents will attend Saturday fight's show, and Lakshmi Gopal, one of Cody's former medical school peers, will make opening remarks at the event's commencement. Proceeds will benefit next Spring's medical mission trips, which are scheduled to include projects in Haiti, Mexico, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic, said Kuon Lo, a first-year medical student. "In Caroline's memory, I wanted to do something." Beverly Vidaurreta Office of Student Couseling and Development program director -While the second-year students will spread their expertise on next year's trips, all four classes will participate in the show.

THURSDAY, MAY 12, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 5 By IVETTE MENDEZ Alligator Writer imendez@aIIigator.org Three Gainesville residents were arrested Tuesday after police reportedly found evidence of drug trafficking in the dwelling of two suspects. Deputies from the Alachua County Sheriff's Office went to the apartment of Donald Wayne Calvert, 25, situated at 3515 SW 39th Blvd., to arrest him on an outstanding warrant for possession of cocaine and marijuana, one felony and one misdemeanor, ASO spokesman Steve Maynard said. The officers found marijuana when they entered Calvert's apartment, reports state. After obtaining a search warrant for Calvert's apartment, police found a total of 211 grams of cocaine, 433 grams of marijuana and a handgun, according to reports. Calvert was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, armed trafficking in cocaine, possession of a firearm by a felon and maintaining a dwelling where drugs are sold. Amy Callie-Marie Weathers, 22, lives in the apartment with Calvert and was present at the time of the arrest. After the search, Weathers was arrested for trafficking in cocaine, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia and maintaining a dwelling where drugs are sold. Another person of unknown relation, Michael Wallace Kelsoe, 39, was also at the residence at the time and was arrested for three outstanding misdemeanor warrants and possession of marijuana, Maynard said. The suspects were taken to the Alachua County Jail. in a similar incident, two UF students were arrested for drug possession on April 27 after a twomonth investigation, reports state. Public Skyler McCoy Smith, 19, was Safety arrested in his residence at College Manor Apartments after selling alprazolam, the generic drug name for Xanex, to an undercover deputy, reports state. During the transaction, he told the undercover deputy he had Adderall in his possession and intended to sell it to college students, reports state. He also was charged with possession of and intent to sell LSD, marijuana and Ritalin. It is unknown if the suspects actually sold any drugs on campus, Maynard said. Amanda Jennifer Smith, 19, of Beatty Towers, was present during the transaction and was arrested for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia found in her purse, reports state. The apartment also reportedly contained the materials to grow mushrooms. The two suspects are unrelated, Maynard said. UF seeks new 'vision' for union UNION, from page 1 experience on a large campus. "There are clearly five or six (applicants) that rise to the top," h6 said. Out of the 48 submitted, only 14 applicants met the minimum requirements for the position, which requires a master's degree and at ledst seven years of experience at a comparably-sized student union. Phone interviews will be conducted next Friday by the search committee to determine Kratzer's replacement. The weight then rests on the shoulders of Vice President forStudent Affairs Patricia TellesIrvin, who will have the final word on which candidate will be in charge of the 513,000 square-foot facility. "It's someone who has a vision to take the building to the next level," Telles-Irvin said. She said she is looking for someone who is "good with financial matters, excellent with students, shows leadership abilities and can be comfortable living in this community." Telles-Irvin added that maintaining the revenue stream will be one of the major challenges the new director will face. The director will have to ensure the facility will have the "correct funding to maintain the standards we expect" while overseeing a $6.2 million budget. Mike Mironack, previously the associate director of the building, has served as interim director since Kratzer's promotion and is the only in-house candidate who passed the first exam heading into interviews. The UF graduate and 10-year Reitz Union employee is anything but a new face. "I've gotten to know the place really well," Mironack said. "I'm very passionate about the work We do here.

6, ALLIGATOR N THURSDAY, MAY 12, 2005 Off hours More than politics makes bar-closing proposal wrong he problem with extending bar closing hours in town by an hour isn't that local officials are using the issue like a poker chip. It's just an idea that isn't well thought-out. Of course, when Bernie Machen doesn't have anything, at all, ever, in this world or the next, to do with the recent decision to cancel the "Drunk Bitch Friday" portion of the Lex and Terry radio program, we shiver at the lack of apparent cleanliness. When something looks, quacks and walks like a university president, we fairly can assume it is one, as indirect as his influence may be. On a side note, believing "Drunk Bitch Friday" drives students to drink alcohol is about as ludicrous as those Facebook clubs with names like, "Oh my [insert deity here, such as Zarathustra], Carl Randalfloyd is on Facebook." And when we see now-exiting City Commissioner Tony Domenech promise to vote to allow an extra hour of nonalcoholic bar time, lose the election and then vote against recommending it from his post on the city's Public Safety Committee, our freshly. furrowed eyebrows get an even more rigorous workout. The reports, of shady dealings may not be totally unexpected: He is an honorary member of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity. Besides, who cares? If we read the voter turnout, just more than 10 percent of Gainesville residents. Probably far less than that for students. But the other Phi Delta Theta member in the news, Student Body President Joe Goldberg, has been a man possessed by an unnatural force in pushing the same ordinance. We don't blame him, because it's a popular position to take. It may have contributed to his becoming president. Extending the closing time in the way proposed just would invite a host of sponsored scientists and others who provide expert testimony that, somehow, an hour without alcohol actually can make the bar-closing situation worse. We don't have enough facts to challenge the evidence; nor, we believe, does the Student Government committee headed by Goldberg that has advocated the extension. Furthermore, it's a silly idea to believe that a city administrator would accept the wing-and-a-prayer hope expressed by the Safety and Fair Entertainment Committee that getting students to public transportation would be any less hectic at 3 a.m. than at 2 a.m. Keeping cops, bus drivers and other employees on the payroll for an extra hour sure does suck up whatever's left in the city's piggy bank. But even that is irrelevant, because it's just not feasible from a business standpoint for bars to baby-sit their drunk customers an extra hour while they don't make the booze money.e So bars will close at the same time they did before, which leaves our drink-seekers at square one. Rather than advocate for later bar hours, or perhaps in conjunction with it, SAFE should look into more reasonable alternatives, like the pre-election recommendation by candidate Rob Brinkman to limit alcohol purchase by bracelets or some similar method. Because it's obvious to us that extending the closing time without other plans won't stop anyone from abusing alcohol. a l [l e in dependent florida Mike Ginignani EDITOR Eva Kis MANAGING EDITOR The Alligator encourages coments from readers.

Op nin ALLIGATOR www.a I Iligator.org/opi nions A IFib4T 167711 CA' I7Cotumt Admitting. blame not theRussian way fter six decades of casting sullen glances at America and struggling with "that Democracy thing," Russia still isn't willing to admit it was wrong. I normally applaud those questioning the facts in a world where history is written by the victor, but this is getting silly. Russian leaders recently took offense when President Bush acknowledged in a letter to the president of Latvia that the U.S.S.R. forcibly occupied Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania in the aftermath of World War I. Instead, the Russian leaders insist their hordes of furryhatted Gestapo were invited by the Baltic states' governments to come in and do as they pleased. They're going to have to pass around a lot more of that free "wodka" before I'm going to believe that. Sergei Yastrzhembsky, the Russian ambassador to the European Union, issued an official statement at a special news conference in Moscow rebuking President Bush. No one understood his statement, however, because it was in Russian. A reporter then angered Yastrzhembsky when he asked him to stop speaking his"crazy moon-language." Yastrzhembsky stormed out in response, screaming, "There was no occupation! Everyone was on vacation!" This sentiment was echoed by the Russian Foreign Ministry's Web site, which insisted -citing international law -that the U.S.S.R. technically didn't "occupy" the Baltic states because they weren't officially in a state of war. The site went on to insist that Russia technically owns the entire universe, based on international law, because Sputnik called dibs on outer space "like, way before America did." Russian President Vladimir Putin himself chided Western nations, according to The Associated Press, saying that Russians "have never divided the victory between ours and theirs." Yes, Vladdy, you never distinguished between your victory and our victory. That's because we didn't use our victory as an excuse to sneak in a few extra communist shenanigans before the crackdown. But we can forgive the Russians this little bit of historical amnesia in light of their recent commitment to furthering Democracy. For instance, Russia, under the Matt Sanchez guidance of Putin, has instituted a Editorial Notebook system in which regional leaders are msanchez@aligator.org appointed by the government rather than elected. You may be wondering how exactly this is a good thing for Democracy. Well, I'm-not really sure either. But Putin is quick to point out that Russians elect their president directly, instead of using an Electoral College, which he says "might be even more democratic" than America. This is a fabulous strategy -instead of answering for your own mistakes, you try-to suggest that your accuser has more problems than you do. You may remember tids sort of logic from grade school: "You're stupid." "Nuh-uh, you're the stupid one." That never ended the argument then, and it's surely not going to now. All kidding aside, Russia would do best to take its lumps on this issue and move on. Bush has admitted that the United States made a mistake in playing a part in the Soviet Union's occupation of these nations, and it wouldn't take much for Russia to accept its responsibility as well. Russia was a vital part of the Allies' victory in World War II and could be a major player on the world stage in the future. If Russia wants everyone else to recognize this, however,-Russian officials have to admit where they went wrong so we all can move op. Matt Sanchez is a journalism senior.

THURSDAY, MAY 12, 2005 N ALLIGATOR, 7 Letters to the Editor Column goes too far in defending minors' rights to abortions Editor: In regards to Eva Kis' column on Tuesday, I agree that many age qualifications do not seem to make much sense. However, an abortion is a medical procedure, and the law remains that parental consent must be given for medical procedures on a minor. Kis makes a very weak argument when she implies that if a girl is old enough to conceive, she should be old enough to abort. That's like saying a 6-year-old who can play soccer should be able to authorize medical procedures himself if he gets injured. If you are going to attack the parental consent for abortion, then you must attack the greater system of parental consent for medical procedures. A 13-year-old may have the ability for rational thought, but that does not mean that she has earned the right to make every decision in her life. Clearly a 13-year-old who is dumb enough to get pregnant should be under the guidance of parental figures for a while longer. It seems to me that some people are fighting to make sure that more fetuses can be aborted than already are. Ryan Nesselroade 2MS -U E Eastside plays dirty in striving for No. 4 ranking in national high-school poll Editor: As an alumni of Eastside High School's IB program, I find it hilarious that Eastside was ranked as the fourth best high school in the nation by Newsweek. If not for the prestigious IB program, Eastside probably would be on the bottom of the list. Eastside is located in one of the worst neighborhoods in Gainesville, and the IB program was established there for integration purposes. The students that are in IB are extremely segregated from the other students in the school, and at least when I graduated, most IB graduates were white. As the article in Tuesday's Alligator explains, all the other schools that are ranked higher than Eastside have less than 1 percent of their student body rated as impoverished, whereas 40 percent of Eastside's friends and continued to work together students are impoverished. on issues we believed were in the general From my past experiences at Eastside, I interest of the student body and the uniknow that it is not the 40 percent of impovversity as a whole. erished students that are taking the IB/AP Chris left a lasting legacy at UF'and we, 'exams. as a community, should all reflect upon or Is it fair to judge a school only by the learn about his contributions. hard work of a fraction of the people who Chris was one of those rare political go there? actors who both knew how to work the Weijia Xia system to get things done and cared about 5EG the people he represented.

8, ALLIGATOR M THURSDAY, MAY 12, 2005 Expert tests show mixed results. ASBESTOS, from page 1 leaf blower, so she assumed the actual amount of structures would exceed 70. An "aggressive" test, which normally involves blowing all of the surfaces before testing, could not be done without increasing the asbestos exposure to the people in the building, she said. Gruby's sister said she thinks "UF should definitely take responsibility for its facilities" and for the possible health hazards on campus. Sharon Blansett, assistant director of housing, said GLE Associates, the environmental consulting firm hired by UF, found "no negligible amounts of asbestos." The firm conducted two rounds of tests. The first of which were wipe-tests that netted 117,000 asbestos structures per square centimeter on top of a television in the hall lounge, along with 26,000 structures on Gruby's desk. The second test, which used a special vacuum, found no structures. Great Mediterranean Cuisine 'HEAR AGGILLN 378.5179 +1120 W. University AveNext to Bank of America Blasser-Gruby said it is "totally impossible" to find thousands of structures with one test and none with the other. The asbestos problem could be solved if UF decontaminated the entire building and covered all of the dorm floors that have the type of tile found in Reid Hall with indoor-outdoor carpeting, she said. Blansett said the old tile in many of the rooms in Reid Hall Student already has been replaced, Life and more are expected to be renovated this summer. She said projects like that take years -of planning because of the time and money involved to renovate a building of that size and age. Hundreds of dorm-renovation projects are going on this summer, she said. Blasser-Gruby would not comment on whether legal action agamist the university was a possibility. When asked, given her experience with asbestos, if she felt her son was removed from the hazard in time: "I don't want to answer that. It's too painful to think about," she said.

All Rights Reserved. By ANGIE DE ANGELIS Avenue Writer At a mere three-and-a-half years old, Mary Remer saw the first "Star Wars" installment, "A New Hope," in 1978. Since that day more than 25 years ago, she has been a devoted fan. When the clock reads one minute past mid-, night May 19, Remer will be one of millions of $$Every fans packedinto movie theaters across the world, just very anxiously awaiting the release of "Star Wars: about it, ai Episode IIIRevenge of the Sith." very happy Remer is a member of Gator Knights, the -of Gainesville chapter of TheForce-net, an unofficial, John A Internet "Star Wars" fan site. The group of apCentet proximately 15 members purchased tickets online emp when they first went on sale April 20 and will be in full costuma at Regal Butler Plaza'Cinemas to watch the final chapter of "Star Wars" at 12:01 a.m. Remer, whose favorite character has been Luke Skywalker' ever since she fell in love with him in 1983, will be dressed as a Jedi knight, she said. "A lot of us are going to be jedis," Remer said. Local costume shop Center Stage Costumes and Magic, 2706 SW 34St., pre pared for the big movie release by supplying area fans with "Star Wars" costumes.

The "Star Wars" operation at Center Stage is no joke, though. "We have costumes coming in every week," one's said John Albritton of Center Stage; excited Some of the store's pricier desigs are molded we're al from the movie casts, like a $1,000 D'arth Valder cosbe a part tume and a $1,500 Storm-trooper sui, Akbritton said. .7 He said Center Stage employees w-ll attend the ritton movie's opening night and the 7:30 p.m. Friday tage show in their own "Star Wars" costumes. yee "Everyone's just very excited about it, and we're all very happy to be a part of it," Albritton said.

10, ALLIGATOR U THURSDAY, MAY 12, 2005 ~ 3t'aff Coming from South Florida, where the techno craze held me in the realm of expensive clubs and vinyl pants, Gainesville saved me from abandoning my alternative roots. Punk is not dead here, and you can find hip-hop, metal, electro and emno around the corner. I don't discriminate when it comes to music: from Mozart to Marilyn Manson, I can find a place for it in my heart. There is a special ingredient in a live show, and that's why I must travel the streets of downtown, investigating musical talent. Gainesville rocks, and if you haven't explored this local music scene yet, I will show you the way. -ADRIENNE HARRIS I have always been one for the Hare Krishna lunch and my own tofu-veggie skillet creation, but I'm ready to move beyond my kitchen and the sweltering Plaza of the Americas. Won't you join me? I promise not to break out with "Be Our Guest." But I could if you wanted. After serving the rich and famous at the swanky steakhouse Houston's, I can schmooze with the best of 'em. Before that, I wore a tennis skirt and tan, reflective pantyhose around the '50s-themed Starlite Diner. I even donned an extra-large haimet and slopped Hungarian goulash onto fellow students' plates in my school cafeteria. But experience as a server isn't the only passport to critiquing restaurants. Because the intermezzo at the Greystone Inn tickles my fancy, and the Seven Sisters Inn's teatime makes me squirm with delight, I've realized that a special dining experience can be spectacular for the spirit. While it hasn't all been glitz and glamour, I've learned a little something about service along the way, which I now putto use. The tables have turned, and this time I'm the guest. While I might be diving into some less extravagant dishes here, snooping around Gainesville's restaurant scene could turn out pretty satisfying. -JILLIAN CABALLERO I've been around music as long as I can remember. There was a time when I bought CDs as if they were Microsoft stock selling for a penny a share. I would come home with at least two CDs a week. It wasn't until I bought New Kids on the Block's 'Greatest Hits" and Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Californication" at the same time that I knew I had an addiction. Being addicted to music does have its benefits -I can find a song lyric in almost any conversation. Being such a lover of music, I must be in a band, right? Wrong. The only singing I do is on karaoke night, though I've threatened to my mom that if singing badly sold, I would drop out of college to make it as a rock star. Although it seems singing badly, or not singing at all in Ashlee Simpson's case, does sell. But I think I'll stay in school and settle for reviewing what's going on in the music world. -AMANDA SEYFANG As a kid, I read everything I could get my chubby little hands on. In the fifth grade, I covertly read "Gone with the Wind" well past my bedtime, until I began hallucinating that Union soldiers were in my closet planning to raid my bedroom. Most parents encouraged their kids to read more '-my mother punished me by forbidding me to read until I completed my work. My brilliant solution: hide books underneath the sink in the bathroom. I am now an English and journalism major at UP. Though my taste in literature has evolved, books still have the same power over me that they always did. Whether the book is good or bad, you can be certain my reviews will be written from my bathroom floor, where I continue guiltily to indulge a fake stomach condition instead of getting things done. -JAYME GOUGH I am the Avenue's new style liaison, aptly titled "Fashion a Go-Go." Growing up, I didn't want help witli picking out clothes or creating ensembles. I hated jeans and donied courageous outfits. In my mind, I was a fashion plate. While en route to my goal of fashion editor, this Summer, I am looking out for the funkiest, most daring and chic UF couture. Ladies, the campus is your runway. A wise woman once said, "The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize." If you're a guy reading this, I thank you. But you, too are not without fault -you will be mine. -CHRISTINE STEFFENS This is how it happened. I'm shy. I'm shy and I went to a performing arts high school. All my friends were actors but not me. I'll pour my heart out to strangers -right after I sprout my third thumb. I am a happy spectator and no more. Since I would rather be chased by an angry mob of baboons than perform in front of a civilized crowd, I did what any one would. I became good at watching plays. I look forward to offering my humble reviews from inside the temple of art for the weekly benefit of all. Arthur Miller says theater is endlessly fascinating because of its accidental quality that is so much like real life.'Sir Laurence Olivier believes that it is an-outward sign of inward culture. Watching people who pretend for a living has always fascinated me. I am currently immersed in the study of journalism and am also dabbling in anthropology. I am endlessly intrigued by language, culture and art. I especially love the mixing of the three in live form. This summer I hope you'll allow me to transfer my theatrical delight to you. -ERIN CHALFANT BURN VICTIM. F ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT FOREST FIRES.

"We are taking that black notion of gothic, and we are twisting it a little bit," said Stephen. Although Rapture would be a full-service bar, MorningStar and Stephen want to try to create an environment for people who don't want to drink. "We thought it would be nice to have coffee, have an espresso there," said MorningStar. "Some people don't like to drink, but they like to come out and listen to music."

12, ALLIGATORETHURSDAY, MAY12,2005 Iron & Wine soothes a sold-out Common Grounds By SARAH ANDERSON Avenue Writer Sam Beam has it backward. Instead of building fame and fortune with a devoted backing band before breaking for a spotlight solo career, the bearded bard better known as Iron & Wine, planted his humble roots alone. In the days before he let banjo players-and backup vocalists join him on stage or in the studio, Beam set down his first EP at home on a four-track recorder. And although the addition of musicians other than Beam has roughed some smooth edges, Iron & Wine still fits the soundtrack of a summer evening spent on a porch swing. Yes, the Woman King EP, which Sub Pop Records released in February, is edgier than previous projects, incorporating heavier percussion and even some electric guitar. But, at heart, Iron-& Wine is still an acoustic band with electric energy. Beam and Co. proved that April 28, when they played to a sold-out crowd at Common Grounds. The show began smooth and slow, giving the audience a chance to shake off a week of finals and settle into summer like dust in the bed of an old pickup. Beam's lazy lilt and easy command of the band at first seemed to clash with the excitement of the audience. But it just took a few songs before the band matched that energy and continued to build on it. Beam's sister, Sarah, who delivered haunting harmonies throughout the set, had only to pick up her fiddle to elicit applause and a cry of "Get that fiddle on, baby!" She got that fiddle on, launching into a toe-tapping, shot-taking solo that did not disappoint the expectant crowd. -For a musician I normally turn to when insomnia strikes or studying in silence is impossible, Beam has found a way to rock, folk style. As the set progressed, the quiet, almost timid image I once had of the enigmatic singer faded. He still showed his sensitive side, climbing into sweet falsetto verses set off by soft brush percussion and Sarah's backing vocals. But enter the electric guitar and a quick, percussive banjo, and he was as gritty as Mississippi mud, spitting lyrics like Copenhagen. Iron & Wine has a studio sound best described as a hot toddy, smooth and soothing enough to lull you into an afternoon nap. But put the band on stage, and the sound is all Sparks, a taste df Heaven with a punch you never see coming. Beam, whose tracks have found their way onto compilations for "Garden State," "The O.C." and "The L Word," will be at the Beta Bar in Tallahassee on June 8.

22, ALLIGATOR M THURSDAY, MAY 12, 2005 Gators up after losses, ready for SEC Tournament By SPENCER DAVIS-VANNESS Alligator Writer The UF softball team hasn't had much success in the Southeastern Conference Tournament in recent years. Aside from a trip to the semifinals in 2003, tournament wins have been few and far between. So when the Gators went into a seven-game, la'e-season losing skid, a team that once reached a No. 16 national ranking began to look like it might fall right into line with past results. However, a little more than a week later, the Gators now look like they may be the team to beat heading into the SEC Tournament, which starts today and runs through Sunday. UF is hosting the event and will face Tennessee today Starting with last week's doubleheader sweep of FSU, the Gators have gone 50, including a dominating performance at Kentucky during the weekend. "The week we lost seven of nine games, the team had really hit rock bottom emotionally and they were pretty down on themselves," Coach Karen Johns said. "But we've been a resilient team all season; we have great heart and leadership. "We've had some rest now and really had time to get back and work on some of the basics. I think that we've made it past the problems we were having." One reason for the Gators' recent success may be the return of junior outfielder Lindsey C a m e r o n Cameron was Joh"s forced to sit out for several weeks with a wrist injury last month but returned to action last week against FSU. Since returning, Cameron is batting .396 and recorded her second career grand slam this past Saturday against Kentucky. "I think that the players are happy to have her back, and I think that in many ways we count on her," Johns said. "She's a very emotionally charged athlete; she keeps the players in line in some ways, and when she wasn't there, I think that we may have panicked a little bit." With-or without a star player, the Gators softball teams of recent years have been anything but spectacular in SEC Tournament play. This year's senior class has seen two conference tournaments in which their team failed to win a single game. Senior designated player and pitcher Mandy Schuerman thinks that this year may be different. "We have a great team this year," she said. "I think that if we go out there and play well, there's no reason why we can't win it all. "Everyone wants to go out there and get a championship." Although the Gators have fallen a bit in the standings during the past month, Schuerman isn't at all disappointed in her team's No. 5 seed in the tournament. "The way I look at it, we play in a very good conference," she said. "Any team seeded one through eight has a shot at going all the way" PLAYERS HONORED: Two UF Softball players earned spots on the. All-Southeastern Conference Softball teams and another was named to the Good Works team, the league announced Wednesday at the opening ceremony for the 2005 SEC Tournament. The All-SEC teams are nominated by and voted on by the league's head coaches. Cameron was named to the AllSEC first team. Cameron has a team leading .544 batting average and a .965 slugging percentage in conference cameron play. This is Cameron's second All-SEC honor. Sophomore Melissa Zick also earned her second All-SEC honor as she was named an All-SEC second team infielder. Sophomore Lauren Roussell was recognized as part of the SEC-Good Works team for her community involvementfthroughout the year. NCAA TRACK: The No. 2 ranked UF men's track and field team and the ninth-ranked women's team will travel to Nashville, Tenn., for the 2005 Southeastern Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships May 12-15 at Vanderbilt Track. The competition begins for the men with the decathlon on Thursday, while the Gator women's team will be in action starting on Friday. The men's squad will be looking for its fourth SEC outdoor title in program history and first since 1987. The Gators enter the event having finished second or better at six consecutive championship meets dating to the 2003 NCAA outdoor meet. The women's squad has won the event three times under current coach Tom Jones and hasn't finished outside the top five since 1996. MEN'S GOLF: The No. 7 UF men's golf team has been selected to participate in th 2005 NCAA East Regional Golf Tournament as the No. 3 seed. The 27-member field will compete May 19-21 at The Golf Club of Tennessee in Nashville, Tenn. the NCAA announced on Monday evening.

Sports THURSDAY, MAY 12, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org Gators continue recent downturn, lose 11-5 to USF By TIM CASEY Alligator Writer tcasey@alligator.org Someone needs to post a missing person's report. Maybe a dozen UF baseball players will appear on the side of milk cartons in the near future, because they are nowhere to be found. A group of imposters have been wearing the orange and blue jerseys since April 17 when the Gators were ranked No. 5 in the nation. Since then, the team has dropped nine of the last 14 games, including consecutive games against South Florida in the last two days. UF fell to USF in Tampa last night 11-5 after losing to the Bulls 8-7 at home on Tuesday. If the slump wasn't -bad enough, the team had to endure an agonizing game that lasted nearly four hours. Freshman Tommy Wynn (0-2) started for the Gators, but was only able to retire one batter before being removed from the game. His ERA skyrocketed from 4.24 to 7.79 in the first inning due to the seven earned runs he allowed on three walks and four hits. UF coach Pat McMahon stresses strike zone command to his pitchers, a message that his starting pitcher failed to grasp on Wednesday. "You've got to command the strike zone with strike one," McMahon said. -"Tommy didn't do that tonight." McMahon Senior lefthander Mike Pete entered the game to deliver his strongest performance of the season. Pete pitched five innings, allowing only one earned run while striking out five batters. Center fielder Jeff Corsaletti and second baseman Adam Davis provided the Gators with the only other strong performances. "We had guys in scoring position with less than two outs," Corsaletti said. "We gotta execute. We're striking out, we're not Tim casey/Alligator Staff Second baseman Adam Davis provided UF's lone highlights, batting 3-for-5 with a home run and a double. putting the ball in play. Anytime that happens, you're not going to win the game." Corsaletti went 2-for-3 with hit his ninth home run of the season to go 3-for-5. McMahon accepted responsibility for theteam's recent strugtwo walks and a double. Davis gles, saying they still have time to recover for a postseason run. "I'm not used to this," McMahon said.

But every bad hop, blown call and loss is seared into athletes' heads so they can remember that pain. The UF women's tennis team might relate to this. The Gators followed their fourth national title in 2003 with an undefeated regular season in 2004. But, as the overall top seed in the NCAA Championships, they were defeated by Miami in the second round.' Heading into the first and second rounds of the NCAA Championships this weekend, the now No. 2-seeded Gators (18-2) have last year's disappointment in the back of their minds. Calling the Miami loss a "debacle," Coach Roland Thornqvist said it is not productive to bring up last season. "I don't think it's very particularly useful to stand there and sort of remind them of last M May 12, 1998: In his regular-season collegiate finale, junior Brad Wilkerson led the UF baseball team to its first SEC title in more than a decade. He struck out nine in less than eight innings pitched and hit a two-run home run in the 7-3 win against Georgia. year," he said. "I think that'll bring out just more fear, if anything. And that's not the way to play." Junior Jennifer Magley has been a star for the Gators again this season. Paired with senior Zerene Reyes on the doubles side, they are 14-3. Magley is 12-3 at the top singles court. "I try not to look ahead. But I feel that if you don't believe that you are going to win, what are you playing a sport for?" Jennifer Magley UF tennis player One of the team's emotional leaders, Magley said anything less than an NCAA title is a disappointment and UF has what it takes to take another title. This confidence, Magley said, is necessary to win. "I try not to look ahead," she said.

'The Gators (32-17) will host Mississippi State this weekend in their final home conference series of the season. "We have only one non-conference game remaining and six conference games," McMahon said. "A lot of the same things were happening when we were winning. It's just a ball here, a ball there. It's frustrating. We had a long session today where we talked. We hurt. We all hurt. UF could only tally seven hits, while committing four errors in the loss. USF (29-25) had 14 hits and played error-free in both games against UF.

C'mon Zo, yout have to give it up. Zo, is basketball worth dying for? Mourning surprisingly said yes, that he would risk his life for basketball glory although he was financially set for life. But 'the glory wouldn't come in New Jersey. Instead, Mourning received a strange invitation from the New Heat, manned by the greatest center of our time, Shaquille O'Neal, and the rising star Dwayne Wade. Zo was asked to return in a limited role, and his ego would have to remain in New Jersey, or in the hospital, or wherever he had to leave it. Mourning agreed. And his time came. He's shown flashes of dominance. He'll never get a chance to play 40 minutes a game, but in game two of the playoffs against New Jersey, Mouning poured in 21 points and nine rebounds in just 16 minutes of Shaq replacement time. That was Zo reminding us that he still has game; he just had to take a little time off. That sounds like the game of a NBA Hall-of-Famer. There will still be skeptics -was Mourning ever good enough in his prime? I'll say this: At his peak, which was never fully reached, Mourning was no Shaq or Bill Russell, Kareem or Wilt, but he was a step above Patrick Ewing and Bob Laier. So Kobe, when you finally dine with the Cousy, please reserve time to discuss the greatness of Alonzo Mourning.
