STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Growl eats up funds
By DAVID COHEN
Alligator Writer
dcohen@alligator.org
Florida Blue Key's 80th annual Gator
Growl is mired in a financial swamp, but
Student Government may throw in a $320,000
life preserver to save the largest student-run
pep rally in the world.
"This was step one for getting
(control of) student activity fees
taken away from [SG]. I think the
administration should at least
determine what amount is in the
best interest of the student body.
There has to be accountability."
Fletcher N. Baldwin Jr.
director of the Centre for International
Financial Crime
A bill will be read in the Student Senate
tonight proposing a $200,000 SG contribution
to be taken from the tuition-funded Activity
& Service fee, of which SG controls almost $11
million annually, that would purchase 20,000
student tickets for the FBK-organized and or-
chestrated production up front.
The tickets would be distributed without
additional cost to UF students, who will pay
$8.66 of A&S fees per credit hour taken during
the 2005-06 academic year.
Additionally, an immediate, unconditional
$120,000 would be transferred 'from SG re-
serves to Student Government Productions as
"operating capital" to be used "immediately,"
according to SG documents.
SGP's loss means fewer of its student orga-
nization events will be funded this year.
Though SG has no direct relationship
with FBK, several high-ranking SG admin-
istrators, including Student Body President
Joe Goldberg, are among the membership
honorary's ranks.
As part of a 1995 circuit-court lawsuit, FBK
was found to actively involve itself in SG poli-
tics for its own benefit.
UF law professor and Director of the
Centre for International Financial Crime
Fletcher N. Baldwin Jr. said he perceives this
to be an "irresponsible decision."
"This was step one for getting (control of)
student activity fees taken away from [SG],"
he said. "I think the administration should
at least determine what amount is in the best
interest of the student body. There has to be
accountability."
If not all 20,000 student tickets are distrib-
uted, the $200,000 SG allotment would be less
by the number of tickets remaining.
FBK Vice President Chris Carmody said
$16, the price at whiclk SG would be sold each
student ticket, is the minimum price for FBK
to make back its expenses for Gator Growl.
FBK has named SG the official sponsor of
the event.
"The only way that I would sign this bill
in favor of something of this sort, if the Senate
approves it, is if it goes to a ticket subsidy,"
Goldberg said. "I think students should be ex-
cited about it. I think that either way, students
will see a discount in their ticket this year or a

'Sober is Sexy' campaign among ideas to curb abuse
Committee one of several discussing alcohol
By CRISTYLE WOOD
Alligator Writer
A "Sober is Sexy" marketing
campaign, identification scanners in
nightclubs and standards for alcohol
advertising in Gainesville were
among topics covered in a meeting
of UF officials, students and others
in the Reitz Union on Thursday.
Members of the Marketing/
Access Committee said they hope
a marketing campaign to show the
sexy side of sober would encourage
students to limit their drinking.
"The norm is not to go out and
binge drink," said David Mica, a
member of the Florida Petroleum
Council who was at the meeting.
The Marketing/Access
Committee, a sub-committee of the
Alachua County Alcohol Coalition,
met in the Student Government
Conference Room to discuss ways
to connect with current and future
UF students in an attempt to curb,
underage and excessive drinking.
The meeting, headed by Martin
Salamone, University Athletic
Association Marketing/Promotions
director, focused on decreasing the.
issues that promote drinking among
college students, such as drink spe-
cials and radio advertising, all while
increasing non-alcoholic activities
on campus.
A key point came when discus-
sion turned. to concern
Student of UF's annual ranking
Life as a top-10 party school
in several nationwide
rankings and the pro-
jected image future UF students
may see.
Jess. Johnson, UF alumnus and
committee member, proposed a
marketing idea, which he called,
"What it Means to be a Gator," that
encompassed expectations of pro-
spective UF students. .
Also, Johnson recommended an
expansion of-the First Year Florida
Program, a one-credit course offered
to freshmen teaching need-to-know
basics of life as a college student.
Other suggestions included
limiting the number of bars in
Gainesville through zoning regula-
tions and raising the minimum age
of partiers at local bars and clubs to
21 years old.
Also, offering more early-mrnm-
ing classes and 24-hour on-campus
services, like those offered by the
Southwest Rec Center, to reduce
late-night partying were listed
among possible ways to curb the
drinking dilemma.
As ideas from committee- mem-
bers flew back and forth, Salamone
pushed for an understanding that
this should not become an "us
versus them conflict," but rather a
collective effort between the county,
university, and its students to en-
hance safety and enjoyment.
Student Body President Joe
Goldberg approved of the commit-
tee's plans but said he disagreed
with setting a higher minimum age
to enter bars.
"I hope the committees find a
way to project the pageantry and
spirit of Gators, instead of the party-
ing or drinking image," he said.
Women's tennis advances to Round of 16
UF senior Zerene Reyes recorded her 100th career
singles victory, leading the Gators to a 4-0 victory over
Florida International in the second iound of the NCAA
Women's Tennis Championships. Reyes, the lonesenior
on the Gator squad, became just the 20th player in the
history of the program to reach the 100-singles win
plateau, as she downed Egle Petrauskaite 6-1, 6-2 at the
No. 2 position to reach the milestone in the final home
appearance of her career. The victory gave the Gators a
3-0 lead in the dual match.

R Just as officials
feared, two of the
six named as final-
ists by UF's Provost
Search Committee
have dropped out of
the race to become
the university's No. 2
administrator.

Candidates
drop out
By MIKE GIMIGNANI
Alligator Staff Writer
mgimignani@alligator.org
Just as officials feared, two of the six
named as finalists by UF's Provost Search
Committee have dropped out of the race to
become the university's No. 2 administrator.
The remaining four, plus an extra, previ-
ously "in limbo" candidate, will interview
with the committee today and Wednesday.
Jane Close Conoley, a dean at Texas A&M
University, gave notice Thursday after ac-
cepting a similar position at the University of
Wisconsin at Madison, UF spokesman Steve
Orlando said.
Then, just a day before the first interview
was to begin, fellow finalist Kim Wilcox
accepted an offer to become provost at
Michigan State University.
The committee decided after Conoley
left to add Toby Parcel, a dean at Purdue
University, to the short list. Previously, the
committee placed Parcel and semi-finalist
Gerardo Gonzalez on the back burner in case
one or more of the volatile top six dropped
out of contention.
Orlando said he did not know why
Gonzalez did not move up after Wilcox
pulled out but speculated that the short no-
tice may have had something to do with it.
Calls to committee chairman Doug Barrett's
office were not returned.
Barrett had previously informed the com-
mittee that of the interviewed finalists, only
two or three would be recommended to UF
President Bernie Machen for a decision.
Another finalist from an earlier search,
UF College of Engineering Dean Pramod
Khargonekar, also will receive Machen's
consideration, although he has not been in-
volved with the current search.
The committee has searched actively
since former Provost David Colburn stepped
down in December. Interim replacement Joe
Glover, who sits on the search committee,
has agreed to serve until a replacement is
-named, which officials originally expected to
occur around June 1.

Lea Canipe, 10, has her face painted by a clown at the Windsor Zucchini Festival on Saturday.
Windsor finds strength in zucchini
* THE TOWN'S VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT ES-
PECIALLY HAS BENEFITED FROM THE VEGETABLE.
By BRENT STEINBERG
Alligator Contributing Writer
The scene was reminiscent of another time and place.
Children ran merrily through the open fields, veterans stood
proud in their old uniforms, families shared stories over a barbe-
cue meal, and the sounds of Elvis filled the air.
The spirit of small-town America was vibrant and strong,
and strangely enough it was zucchini that brought these people
together on this special occasion.
On Saturday in the community of Windsor just seven miles east
of Gainesville, thousands gathered -at the 21st Annual Zucchini
Festival, which benefits the Windsor Volunteer Fire Department.
"Other places have strawberry and watermelon festivals, so
we figured why not a zucchini festival," said Bobbi Walton, festi-
val chairwoman and unofficial Mayor of Windsor.
The Zucchini Festival is probably best known for its home-
grown fried zucchini, selling more than $1,000 worth last year.
This year's activities included the "Zucchinithon Fun Run," the
"Duke of Zuke & Zuqueenie Pageant," a "Cook-A-Zuke Contest,",
children's rides and even the Kazucchini Marching Band.
Walton has been involved since the festival's inception. The
Zucchini Festival raised the funds necessary to build the fire sta-
tion and has supported its operations ever since.
Walton said that the people of Windsor became inspired to
build a firehouse after the tragic deaths of two local girls in a struc-
tural fire 25 years ago. The station was constructed shortly thereaf-
ter. Without it, response time to Windsor would almost triple.
"We were not going to stand by and let this happen if there
was something that we could do to have a fire department,"
Walton said. "I was going to serve the lord somewhere and this
is where he chose for me to serve."
The Windsor Volunteer Fire Department serves many func-
tions, 70 to 80 percent of which are emergency medical services.
With the nearest hospital more than 12 miles away, volunteer
firefighters are vital to the community.
"My husband is alive today because the volunteers answered
a medical call," Walton said.
The fire station initially had a 10-year mortgage, but the festival
was so successful, they paid it off in seven years, Walton said.
"Every penny that we bring in goes toward the upkeep.of the
building and small community projects," Walton said.
Those community projects have included sponsoring student
trips to Washington, D.C., summer camps and hurricane relief ef-
forts. Both the fire station and the Zucchini Festival have always
been bastions of community support and pride.
But the citizens oPWindsor showed more than just pride for
their zucchinis. The outpouring of patriotism and support for
American soldiers was visible at the festival's opening ceremo-
nies, which included speeches from active military men, the U.S.
Marines.Color Guard and a release of 21 doves.
"We just felt compelled to honor those who have allowed us
the freedoms we enjoy today," Walton said. "It is important to
instill honor in the next generation."
Dorothy Brown, the department's treasurer, described
Windsor as a very patriotic community, in part because of the
large percentage of young men who join the military. Brown's
husband, Gene, was a prisoner of war during World War II.
"The community of Windsor is basically a very family-ori-
ented area with strong traditional values," Brown said.
"Our festival is more like a hometown picnic."
Dorothy Brown
Windsor Volunteer Fire Department treasurer
Brown described the Zucchini Festival as a day of reunion for
friends and family who may only see each other this one particu-
lar day each year.
"Our festival is more like a hometown picnic," Brown said.
Festival organizers said that the Zucchini Festival raised more
than $10,000 for the Windsor Volunteer Fire Department, which
is critical to covering the department's $70,000 annual budget.
County funding, $58,000 per year, has not increased since 1985,
said Dwayne King, the department's only paid firefighter. Since
September 11, 2001, insurance and fuel costs have doubled.
Seven volunteer firefighters, most of whdio are also emer-
gency medical technicians or paramedics, are always on call via
pagers. The volunteer firefighters respond to the call no matter
what time, day or night.
"A lot of the volunteer firefighters have two jobs in addition to
their responsibilities here," King said. "These guys will put out a
structural fire in the middle of the night and who then have to go
home, shower and go to work at their paid job on no sleep."
King said it is hard to get volunteers because of the more than
150 hours of basic training necessary and the risks that are associ-
ated with being a firefighter.'
"I cannot say enough for the volunteer firefighters and their
support of the community," King said.
Whether in crises or celebration, the Windsor community
spirit remains steadfast.
"Windsor is like an old, small American town the way it
was 40 years ago," King said.

ON CAMPUS
UF showcases research into medical technology
By LYNDSEY LEWIS,
Alligator Writer
Ilewis@alligator.org
Business leaders converged in
Gainesville on Friday for a summit
showcasing medical technology.
About 175 participants attended
the all-day event, which was held at
the Hilton University of Florida and
hosted by the UF Foundation.
"We were able to capture a lot
of people's attention to come to UF
and see what's going on," said Chris
Needles, an event organizer.
"It's our chance to tell our story
and give a general sense of trends in
the industry."
Each year, the UF Foundation in-
vites corporate leaders from around
the country to the conference in
Gainesville, designed to spark in-
terest in a particular sector of the
school's ongoing research, he said.
The theme of this year's confer-
ence highlighted innovations in
medical devices,. emphasizing in-
vestment and. licensing options for
businesses.
"I came
here to see the
technology the
university has for
licensing," said
Matthew Solar,
vice president of
Machen engineering at
Image-Guided
Neurologics, a local corporation.
"The image-guided surgery is
very interesting, and it's nice to have
the university's breadth of technol-
ogy so dose by," Solar said.
UF President Bernie- Machen,
who made opening remarks, said
the school's size provides an advan-
tage in medical technology projects.
He added that the multitude of
available research opportunities in
Gainesville opens the door for coop-
eration between academic fields.
Several investors, like Dan Rua, a
managing partner at Inflexion Fund,
an investment firm with an office in
Gainesville, were on hand to see the
latest in medical science.
"I think it's a fantastic conference,
and they did a great job of bringing
together the medical and engineer-
ing fields," Rua said.
Speakers reflected the changing
face of health science, presenting
research in such fields as stem-cell
therapies, DOD technology and im-
age-guided surgical technologies.
Study: Exotic names may lead to unfair assumptions
* STUDENTS WITH LESS COMMON
NAMES SCORE LESS WELL ON TESTS.
By LINDSAY PETER
Alligator Contributing Writer
Teachers subconsciously create a level of
expectation from black students based on their-
names, a UF researcher has found.
David Figlio spent two-and-half years re-
searching these expectations, suggesting that
exotic-sounding names affect test scores as
well as referral to gifted programs.
"When you see a particular name, like
David or Catherine, you internalize it in a
different way than a name such as LaQuisha,"
said Figlio, whose findings appear in a work-
ing paper for the National Bureau of Economic
Research, in a press release.
"The story I'm telling is not whether one
person is smarter. ,It's subconscious. Teachers
respond to names," he said.
To be certain this subconscious level of ex-
pectation came from the name of a child and
not other factors, Figlio observed children with
the samelast name who were close in age.
Within the family you
UF can statistically compare
Research test scores, holding constant
everything else within the
family, he said.
Two brothers one with a more common
name than the other were treated different-
ly. The brother with the more common name
did better on tests, he found.
Figlio said two messages can be drawn
from his research. First, parents should feel
free to name their children whatever they
choose and children should be proud of their
names. Second, educators shouldn't set expec-
tations based on age, sex, skin color or name,
but rather on performance.
"Fifty years ago there were widespread
beliefs that different races had different mental
capacities; very few people believe that any-
more. With increased education of educators,
names won't carry that much weight either."

Development brings mixed feelings for businesses
By CRYSTAL HENRY
Alligator Writer
chenry@alligator.org
While the University Corners develop-
ment promises more parking, restaurants
and luxury condominiums with close
access to campus, some businesses in the
area are less than thrilled about packing
up shop and leaving.
"It (Modern Age Tobacco and Gift
Shop) wasn't worth $300,000,
and we paid them $750,000."
Frank Darabi
University Corners managing partner
The new development project, which.
is only months from breaking ground, is
a "waste of money" and "shady all the
way around," said Tom Allen, general
manager of Modern Age Tobacco and
-Gift Shop, one of the businesses forced
to move due to the three-block construc-
tion site.
Last month, Modern Age moved from
its 13th Street location to a new site be-
side Farrah's on University Avenue.
The financiers for University Corners
have been asking Modern Age to sell for a
"year or two," and the shop finally asked
for and received a ridiculous amount of
money, Allen said.
Frank Darabi, managing partner of the
University Corners project, agrees the pur-
chase price for the gift shop was excessive.
"It wasn't worth $300,000, and we
paid them $750,000," said Darabi, adding
that he hopes the project is complete by
September 2007.
Darabi added that while Modern Age
and Maui Teriyaki have unresolved is-
sues, most businesses affected by the
project are satisfied.
"I'm glad [Modern Age] is out of
there," Darabi said, adding the shop
owner defaced the property before leav-
ing by spray painting the word "moved"
on the side of the building.
Not all business owners feel mistreat-
ed by University Corners.
"They're treating us beautifully," said
Janet Akerson, Burrito Bros. Taco Co. co-
owner.
When construction gets under-
way, Burrito Bros. will relocate to the
Presbyterian Student Center until the
project is completed, said Akerson, who
said she is happy that construction will
include a newer, bigger kitchen in the
student center.
One reason Akerson approves of the
project is because both Burrito Bros. and
the student center will have new kitchens.
Akerson said she and her husband,
Randy, don't want to move from their
"little hole in the wall" which has been a
Gainesville staple for almost 30 years, but
she admitted the building is old and rent for
the 330-square-foot space is "outrageous."
The three-block project which will
include one level of underground parking,
a seven-story parking garage, restaurantspre-
tail stores and luxury condominiums will
cause the closing of sections of Northwest
First Avenue and Northwest Second Avenue,
according to proposed construction plans.

Preview mealtime crowds leave bad taste for students
* BROWARD DINING TAKES
HUNDREDS MORE DURING
THE SESSIONS.
By DOUGLAS BONEPARTH
Alligator Contributing Writer
In an attempt to acclimate incom-
ing students, UF may have bitten off
more than it can chew.
Preview, a program designed to
acquaint incoming students'to UF,
feeds more than 6,700 soon-to-be
Gators from May to July at Broward
Dining. However, many summer
students trying to dine at Broward
are finding the surge of UF's new
blood to be blood-boiling.
"We -average about 700 to 800
people in each Preview session,"
said Josh Weiss, a Preview staffer.
Weiss said Preview dinner begins
at 5 p.m. and lasts until 7:30 p.m.,
usually when most students on a
meal plan eat dinner. He also said
there are three eating rotations dur-
ing the scheduled dinner time, feed-
ing about 200 to 300 people per rota-
tion, excluding family members.
"Sometimes the regulars give me
a dirty look," Weiss said. "I think
students know we have to feed these
people, so they don't say too much."
Tom Petroro, a senior in the
College of -Health and Human
Performance, said that Broward
Dining's best efforts may not be a
solution to students' problems.
"I like to eat around
Student 6 p.m., and on.Preview
Life days, Broward Dining
is packed," he said. "I
have to spend an extra 30 to 40 min-
utes fighting the lines."
Petroro suggested possible solu-
tions to the dining glut, including
re-opening Gator Comer Dining
Center for the summer or taking
smaller Preview groups to Broward
Dining.
"It's just one thing I will have to
put up with," Petroro said. "As long
as they don't run out of food, I will
be all right."
Gator Dining Services, UF's of-
ficial food-service provider, held a
positive outlook on feeding Preview
attendees at Broward Dining.
"Our staff is working extra hard to
put on a good show," said Courtney
Moon, marketing assistant for Gator
Dining Services. "Our sales team
pays dose attention to helping the
Preview families, because they know
it's a big time for selling meal plans."
In addition to Gator Dining
Service's extra work, Moon said that
they have expanded the menu, over-
staffed their facilities and increased
work hours for the Preview months.
"The food is tip-top during
Preview, because our chefs are
working extra hard," she said. "All
of our staff actually has a lot of fun
during Preview because they get to
interact more than usual."
Moon said that a sign will soon be
posted outside Broward Dining dis-
playing the times and dates Preview
will use the facility for dinner.
"Of course Preview will affect.
students eating at Broward Dining,"
Moon said. "Nobody wants to wait
in line."
Museum curator wins archaeological achievement award
By CASSIDY MILLS
Alligator Contributing Writer
As if having a martini named after him
wasn't enough, Florida Museum of Natural
History Curator of Archaeology Jerald T.
Milanich received a Lifetime
On Achievement Award on Friday.
Campus The award was presented
by the Florida Archaeological
Council in a ceremony that
highlighted his academic accomplishments
as well as his sense of humor. The mar-
tini was dedicated by the former Wolfgang's
Restaurant.
"It was a very, very dry Bombay Sapphire
martini with two anchovy-stuffed olives,"
Milanich said.
Several people spoke at the event, includ-
ing Gainesville Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan. She
immediately set the tone of the ceremony
by asking the audience how long it takes
archaeologists to go from studying artifacts
to becoming one.
The humor continued throughout the eve-
ning as colleagues and former students remi-
nisced on Milanich's career and the impact he.
has had in their lives and the academic world
* of archaeology.
Kathleen Deagan, a former student of
Milanich's, spoke at the event.
"Jerry loves to be amused and has an ir-
resistible appreciation of humor," she said.
"Early on, Jerry put forth two (then) heretical
notions: Even the most serious archaeology
can and should be fun, and you don't have to
be uncomfortable to be an archaeologist."
As an educator, Milanich supervised more
than 100 graduate students. Published more
than 190 times, he encouraged his students to
do the same.
"Jerry has h een pro-
foundly generous in shar-
ing ideas, bringing people
together, finding money
and simply making things
happen," Deagan said.
In addition to his other
Milanich work, Milanich's role- as
Bullen Series editor-for the
University Press of Florida has helped spread
Florida archaeology information around the
world.
Other former students spoke at the event
and shared how Milanich was influential in
their lives. Milanich was once referred to as a
"benign version of the Tasmanian Devil."
Milanich is one of only three people to re-
ceive the Lifetime Achievement Award since
the founding of the Florida Archaeological
Council.
"I was very flattered, especially since it
came from people who are old friends," said
Milanich.
Milanich said he will continue to research
and write for Archaeology magazine and
other popular venues.
"I've always believed that if you're going
to do archaeology, have fun," Milanich said.
"Being at the Florida Museum of Natural
History has been a great time. I couldn't find
a-better job to have."

Editorial
Frivolous
Butler has no business
filing Sun lawsuit
wo words we rarely mention on these pages:
Gainesville Sun.
They don't bring us up much, either we are
competing publications in the same area, and like any two
rival businesses, we rarely find the place in our hearts to
cooperate.
Once in a while, however, something causes both of us to
take notice.
One of those moments passed last week, when the Sun
was served a lawsuit filed by real-estate magnate and all-
around big fish Clark Butler as in Butler Plaza.
We are not surprising anyone by stating how flat-out
frivolous his claims are.
Butler's suit argues that the Sun "intentionally and reck-
lessly portrayed [Butler] in a false light," through articles and
opinions the paper printed about him.
At least from our reading of Butler's complaint, he never
challenges the truth of what the Sun printed. In that sense,
he's accusing the newspaper's staff of doing their jobs.
In the past, Butler gave County Commissioner Cynthia
Chestnut a $171 ticket to attend a UF function and lent his
yacht to State Sen. Rod Smith for his daughter's wedding.
Butler contends the Sun was reckless in mentioning these ac-
tions, inferring that the paper had no right to do so.
But the Sun had very good reason to report them the
state's Ethics Commission later fined Chestnut for accepting
her ticket. Smith, who calls Butler a "family friend," later
used Butler's employees in preparing a Legislature request
for $2 million for the Southwest 24th Avenue paving project.
It is unlikely that those facts, suspicious as they are,
would be discovered without the able work of Sun report-
ers, including two mentioned by name in Butler's suit. The
newspaper presented the facts and did not itself pass judg-
ment on them.
That's for its readers to decide.
The truth is, men of means like-Clark Butler don't need
newspapers to have their will be done. He's got his buddies
in Congress and the Florida Legislature for that.
News media serve the rest of us: those who want their
opinions heard and their curiosity piqued. Few enough
people attend or watch County Commission meetings that
we have people who are paid to summarize the important
stuff for us.
Butler, both personally and through his business, is a force
in Alachua County. Yet his original complaint contends he is
a private figure that is, he has not tried to influence deci-
sion-making on a public issue by his actions or words.
However, the shopping-mall tycoon has taken deliberate
action in trying for years to turn the 24th Avenue project to his
benefit. His lobbying ostensibly led to federal and state fund-
ing for the project, which may have had strings attached.
Besides, he's one of the most influential people in a mod-
erate-sized town and has been for years. If he's a private
figure, we're lug nuts.
Finally, Butler included letters to the editor printed in
the Sun including one from County Commissioner Mike
Byerly and even a Jake Fuller cartoon as evidence that the
newspaper was reckless.
We don't like hearing anyone, especially connected indi-
viduals like Clark Butler, say that upstanding citizens cannot
express their opinions.
There's just something un-American about that.
It's clear to us that the Sun's only agenda in exposing the
possible reasons behind Butler's actions is fairness to those
who don't know the whole story and wouldn't if the paper
had not existed.
The Sun faces a lawsuit-because its staff told the truth.
We hope they never stop.

Gotta fight, for you
broadcasting live from Capitol Hill in Washington,
D.C. In the, left corner, wearing the blue trunks,
the Democrats. In the right corner, wearing the red
trunks, the Republicans. Let's get ready to... filibuster!
So the Democrats and the Republicans are at it again,
but unfortunately there will be no ear-biting in, this fight.
Republicans are in a tiff over what they label "obstruction-
ist tactics" by the Democrats. President Bush's judicial
nominees have been unable to receive a floor vote in the
Senate because of Democratic filibusters.
Since the judges involved in the'Terry Schiavo case al-
lowed for the removal of her feeding tube, the Republicans
have become increasingly infuriated with judges they
have labeled as "activists." As a result, they are attempting
to exert as much.influence as possible on issues, such as
gay marriage and abortion, by eliminating the filibuster in
order to expedite the confirmation of judicial nominees.
The filibuster has existed for roughly 200 years. It al-
lows senators to withhold a vote by talking about any top-
ic they choose. Sixty votes are required to end a filibuster.
Remember when you were four years old, and you
were completely uninterested in what your parents had
to say? What did you do? You would begin an entirely
mature and sophisticated diatribe of, "La la la, I'm not
listening, la la la." Basically, that is a filibuster. Well, kind
of. Sounds ridiculous, right?
Although it is somewhat absurd when a senator
rambles on about his childhood, the filibuster is actually
important to the democratic process. It is exemplary of the
checks and balances' espoused by our founding fathers as
essential to a successful American government. .
The Democrats are severely outnumbered in the Senate
55 to 44 (the 100th seat belongs to an independent), and
the filibuster is their last resort to prevent tyranny of the

r right, to filibuster
Aaron Blye majority in the legislature.
Speaking Out Instead-of using the time to talk
about absolute crap, the Democrats
should educate others on why the nominees are being op-
posed explain the characteristics of a good judge, not
those of a ham sandwich.
As a result of the Democrats' actions, the Republicans
have threatened to commence operation "nuclear option."
Uh-oh, sounds scary. Basically, they would attempt- to
change Senate rules by outlawing filibusters against judi-
cial nominees.
They would only need a simple majority to enact the
ruling.
Republicans have taken this issue too far to the ex-
treme. Only 10 of their 204 nominees have not been
confirmed. Apparently a 95-percent success rate is just
not good enough for them. President Bush has had more
success in judicial confirmations than any other president
in the last 25 years. To attack the Democrats for withhold-
ing 10 nominees who lack any semblance of balance is
ludicrous; especially when more than 60 of Bill Clinton's
nominees were opposed.
However, the Republicans' real motivation is to clear
the path for the confirmation of an ultraconsrvative
Supreme Court justice when the t ne arises Thi .',uld
give Republicans the upper hand in inevitable tight o,'. r
abortion and gay marriage.-
The Republicans should be careful i\ har the\ i\ ih .or
*When Democratic President Franklin Delano Rooe,. elr
wanted to increase the ntimber of Supreme Co:ur t ju_ ho.:e in
order to pass highly contested New Deal policies, his own
party opposed the idea. The next timeTlemocrats have a
similar option, the Republicans might not be so lucky.

'Trek' explored many pop-culture frontiers
Reports of Star Trek's death have
been greatly exaggerated. From
The New York Times' laconic and
respectful obituary of the show to the ab-
solutely deranged attack by Orson Scott
Card in the Los Angeles Times, there have
been many words to describe Star Trek in
its passing but none that properly ac-
cord the phenomenon with the respect it
deserves.
During its forty-year life span, Star
Trek generally reflected the times. The
Original Series showed unbounded en-
thusiasm for exploration and humanity's
ability to improve and overcome. The
Next Generation showed similar ideals,
although they were more and more miti-
gated by the darker paranoid, conspirato-
rial discourse of the 1990s. Deep Space
Nine descended fully into the conflicting
duality of human nature.
The final, uninspired incarnations of
Star Trek: Voyager and Enterprise were
commercially-induced perversions of
the core art form, to be sure, but would
intelligently grapple with serious themes
such as suicide and lawfully detaining
citizens.
Star Trek "stupidly" put the first inter-
racial kiss on television in 1968 between,
Lieutenant Uhura and Captain Kirk.
Christian
Waugh
Speaking Out
Star Trek "stu-
pidly" had one of
the first lesbian
kisses on televi-
sion.
Star Trek "stupidly" showed the begin-
nings and ends of both deontological and
teleological reasoning.
Star Trek "stupidly" showed that
religion can have a place in a society's
discourse and that it should be respected
since it represents people's deep-seeded
beliefs.
In other words, Star Trek "stupidly"
pushed the boundaries of what is ac-
ceptable in order to show what could be
- indeed, contrary to the bubble-gum
wrapper analysis of Card's editorial, Star
Trek was hardly stupid. In fact, it was of-
ten courageous.
Instead of pushing a party line, it often
exposed us to shades of gray, and showed
that even tyrants are people a fact often
lost in political discourse thinly disguised
to rouse people's emotions and votes.
A commitment to open-minded explo-
ration of the possibilities that lay ahead
of humanity is what ultimately drove the
crew of the Enterprise who grew to be-
come our heroes as well as our friends.
As for what brought it all together
in the end, I think it was how Star Trek
proclaimed "the human adventure is just
beginning."
From disparate individualities and
infinite diversity, beauty can be derived
and understood by all. Card once wrote,
"when it comes to human beings, the only
type of cause that matters is final cause,
the purpose. What a person had in mind.
Once you understand what people really
want, you can't hate them anymore. You
can fear them, but you can't hate them,
Because you can always find the same
desires in your own heart."
Card would do well to remember his
words before impeaching the. greatest
American manifestation of them.
In the final Original Series movie, some
conservative commentators lament the
end of history should the Federation make
peace with its enemy, the Klingon Empire.
But Kirk argues that the undiscovered
country that lies beyond them represented
not the end of history, or death, but another
kind of life. After all, as Mr. Spock says,
"there are always possibilities."
May Star Trek journey to all the undis-
covered countries yet, boldly going where
no one has gone before.

Letter to the Editor
Editor: Eastside rightly deserves the
No. 4 ranking in the national high school
poll. Newsweek (a sufficient resource of
information) has compiled a list of high
schools on the criteria of "the most credit
exams taken."
Reading the rest of Tuesday's article
clearly stipulates the conditions of this
criterion.
Mentioning that Eastside High School
is located in "one of the worst neighbor-
hoods in Gainesville" and that "most IB
graduates were white" are irrelevant to
Newsweek choosing this school.
Are you implying that "white students
in a poor neighborhood" have solely bol-
stered Eastside High School on the weight
of their shoulders? I hardly think so!
How can you dare state that the "40
percent of the impoverished students" are
not taking the credit exams?
As the Alligator's Tuesday article also
explains, criteria such as "the passing rate
of schools" have not worked in the past
due to some high schools forcing average
students from taking exams.
I suggest that you accept Newsweek's
analysis and also accept that Eastside in-
deed is ranked No. 4.

PUBLIC SAFETY
Man stalks from prison
By IVETTE MENDEZ
Alligator Writer
imendez@alligator.org
A Gainesville man was arrested
Sunday for stalking a UF employee,
reports state.
James Edgel, of 12001 NW 147th
Place,- allegedly contacted Bonnie
Burgess, an administrative assistant at
the McKnight Brain Institute, from the
Santa Rosa Correctional Institution.
"It threw up a red flag. for me,"
Burgess said.
Burgess first met Edgel through her
parents, she said.
"I've known this man for over 20
years. We grew up in the same home-
town," Burgess said. "Both my parents
were educators in the city of Alachua.
My parents taught him in school."
The first .time Edgel contacted her
since then was one year ago from the
institution, Burgess said. Edgel was in-
carcerated at the facility for grand theft
and.his.third conviction of petty theft,
according to the Florida Department of
Corrections Web site.
To make sure Edgel knew that he
should not contact her, Burgess said she
went through the proper procedures.
The Alachua Police Department
contacted Edgel at the correctional
facility on April 19 and read him a
trespass letter, stating that he was not to
contact Burgess in any way, according
to reports.
However, after Edgel's April 27
release, he reportedly tried to reach
Burgess on several occasions, though
she said she was unclear as to why.
- "I'm just a people person," she said.
On May 12, Edgel called Burgess
and left a message on her machine stat-
ing that there was a box on her porch,
reports state.-
When Burgess checked her porch,
she .allegedly found the box and pro-
ceeded to call APD.
The box reportedly contained sev-
eral items that Edgel had previously
mailed to Burgess, which she had re-
fused to accept.
Edgel was arrested on Northwest
135th Terrace at 158th Avenue after an
officer recognized him, APD spokes-
woman Carrie Lurid said.
"I don't know what instigated this,"
Burgess said.
"We were able to circumvent, at
least momentarily, anything happening
to me."
GROWL, from page 1
free ticket. Student Goverinment is in charge of
making sure that students are getting the best
bang for their buck."
Gator Growl attendance has fallen in recent
years, from a sell-out crowd of 57,000 in 2002
to only 42,000 in 2004, which FBK and SG of-
ficials blame on the vibrant hurricane season,
the four-day weekend it occurred on and a
"subpar football season." FBK lost a total of
$181,000 at last year's event.
But this year there is more to worry about
than the. active waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
I FBK only has $30,000 in line to begin pro-
duction of this Fall's Growl, compared with
previous sums of about $100,000, said FBK
Treasurer Lauren Fackender. She said she
could not remember a time when the starting
budget, which is partially comprised of the
previous year's ticket sales, was as low.
Gator Growl Producer Robert Carmody
said FBK is planning to put together a "bare-
bones show," after seeing, a $235,000 cut in its
budget from last year.
The talent budget for this year's events has
been reduced to $50,000. Last year's Growl
guests, comedians Dane Cook arnd Bill Engvall,
received about $135,000 total.
In addition, several Homecoming events
. have been canceled, and FBK will be forced
to use the in-house public address system.
Fireworks have been completely cut.
However, Robert Carmody said there is no
reason to be alarmed about talent at the show,
which has seen the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, Bill
Cosby and Jay Leno in previous years.
"Last year, we overpaid the talent," he said.
"There's a lot of talent out there who I think
a lot of us would consider better talent than
what we brought last year, for a lot less."
Chris Carmody said FBK wanted the
University Athletic Association to allow them
to use Ben Hill Griffin Stadium's north en-
dzone for the stage, which would save FBK
$90,000 in technical costs because of the way
sound travels and the equipment needed.
The repositioning of the stage would have
meant stadium skybox ticket holders would
have to change boxes or move entirely.
UAA did not deem the scenario feasible;
however, the organization
Student agreed to help with market-
GOVernment ing and promotions.
Next, Chris Carmody
went to SG with a $150,000 proposal to offset
Growl costs.
"We didn't want to come to SG," he said.
"We don't want (the reserves) to be treated as
a piggy bank that we can break any time we
want. We won't come back next year."
Chris Carmody, Goldberg and other FBK
and SG officials then determined that SG
would more than double the amount to a com-
bined $320,000 contribution.
Chris Carmody added that this will prob-
ably be the only year that students will receive
"free" Gator Growl tickets.
He said FBK will try to keep prices at $10 or
less in the future. He called the plan a "small
risk" with potential for a "huge reward."
Goldberg said he is confident in the bill be-
cause UF's head football coach, Urban Meyer,
has given the idea a thumbs-up.
"The fact that we have Urban Meyer on
board speaks volumes," he said. "He couldn't
believe students pay for [Gator Growl]."

UF advances with
second-round win
By MICHAEL MAURINO
Aiigatour Writer
mmaurino@alligator.org
The memory of last year be-
came ancient history Saturday
afternoon.
With last year's loss out of its
'thoughts, the UF women's ten-
nis team steamrolled through
the first two rounds of the
NCAA Championships this
weekend.
"The last two days I've
been playing probably
the worst doubles of my
life. But it made me more
determined to go into
singles."
Whitney Benik
UF tennis player
The Gators (20-2) defeated
South Carolina State on Friday
and Florida International on
Saturday by back-to-back 4-0
scores. With the wins, UF is
now set to face Baylor in the
Round of 16 in Athens, Ga. on
irsday.
This season, UF has been
haunted by its 4-3 upset loss to
Miami in 2004's second round
that ended a quest for a repeat
title. With three members of the
2004 squad in the lineup against
FIU, the Gators still had to deal
with the past.
"The second-round ghost
showed up there for the first
20 minutes, I thought, in
doubles again," Coach Roland
Thornqvist said.
But, as quickly as the ghost
appeared, they vanished and
the second-seeded Gators took
over.
Falling behind immediately
on the top two doubles courts,
UF looked to be in early trouble.
But, Thornqvist said the Gators'
talent took over, as UF took two
of three doubles matches for the
first point of the day.
In singles, UF dominated,
winning the first set on all. six
courts. With the exception of
junior Jennifer Magley drop-
ping four consecutive games
in the second set'on court one,
the Gators' sweep was never in
doubt.
Freshman Whitney Benik,
who was defeated with team-
mate Alex Liles in doubles, was
a different player in singles.
Winning on the fourth court
with two consecutive scores of
6-1, she earned UF's second
point and said her poor doubles
play changed her mindset head-
ing into her singles match.
"The last two days I've been
playing probably the worst

Tim Casey/ Alligator Staff
UF senior Zerene Reyes recorded her 100th singles victory,
leading the Gators to a 4-0 win over Florida International.
Spring sports prove all-around dominance
It was a pretty crazy weekend for UF
sports.
There was softball, men's and wom-
en's track in the SEC Tournament, men's
and women's and tennis in the NCAA
Tournament, and, oh yeah, baseball.
That's way too much to keep track of. I
imagine Athletics Director Jeremy Foley's
head was spinning. (Although he was the
Gators' biggest cheerleader at the matches
I attended.)
But it's not a bad spinning. It's definitely
a good one.
Because all six of these teams are in or
are headed to NCAA competition in their
respective sports. Also, men's and women's
golf are also NCAA Regional bound.
That's eight out of the eight spring sports
That UF offers that-are
in the top 25 of their
conference.
"What's your
point, Ian?" you ask.
I only care about
Ian Fisher football and basket-
Extra lannings ball."
ifisher@aigatororg Well, that's where
fsher@alligator.org you and Foley differ.
Criticize the bas-
ketball and football
teams as much as you want. I've done it
plenty. (I think football may be making a
change for the better, though.)
But it's tough to criticize UF's entire ath-
letic program.
Foley has built one of the best, most
balanced athletic programs in the country,
and this busy weekend was just a symbol of
how good UF is in most sports.
Of the 20 sports UF fields, 17 were in the
top 25 in their most recent polls. The lone
teams not making the cut? Women's basket-
ball and both cross country teams.
Every year, the all-sports rankings come
out. Every year, UF is in the top 10.
UF has been in the top 10 for over 20
consecutive years. The only other school to
do such-is UCLA.
While you may not care about all these
"lesser sports," Foley does. The man is
seemingly everywhere on busy weekends
such as last.

BASEBALL
Gators back
in first place
By TIM CASEY
Alligator Writer
tcasey@alligator.org
The Gators finally got the hit they were wait-
ing for.
Matt LaPorta belted his 20th home run of
the season in the bottom of the first inning on
Friday night, giving the Gators the breath of life
they had been missing.
The blast put UF up 3-0, but, more impor-
tantly, it provided the team with a collective
sigh of relief. .
The entire team was seemingly mired in an
unexplainable funk, losing nine of its previous
14 games up to that point, falling from third to
10th in national polls and dropping out of the
Southeastern Conference lead.
By the end of the week-
end, the Gators (34-18, 17-10
SEC) were once again in first
place, half a game ahead of
Tennessee after defeating
Mississippi State on Friday
and Saturday.
MSU (33-18, 12-14 SEC)
LaPorta rallied to win the Sunday
game 6-5, handing the Gators
a loss that could mean the difference between
first* and third place in the conference final
standings when the regular season concludes
this weekend.
"It was a heck of a college baseball game, and
unfortunately we ended up on the short end of
it today," UF coach Pat McMahon said.
The Gators are now 10-5 in one-run games
this season.
Senior pitcher Mike Pete had his second con-
secutive impressive performance on the mound.
He entered the game with the bases loaded and
none out in the sixthinning and struck out both
batters he faced.
"We definitely need guys to step up at the
end," Pete said. "I'm going to do my best to be
that guy. If I come in and falter, there's got to be
somebody to step up after me."
Darren O'Day struck out the next batter to
end the scoring threat.
The Bulldogs rallied to score two runs in
the top of the ninth on two hits and a crucial
throwing error by defensive replacement third
baseman Matt Gaski.
The Gators put the tying run on base when
Adam Davis bunted for a hit.
LaPorta lined out to right field, then Davis
was caught stealing to end the game.
"We had a lot of chances during the game to
stay in it," Davis said. "We just needed to hit the
ball on the ground a couple of times to get a run
'in, but we didn't do that.
"You gotta take any chance you have to set
a sweep of a series. It hurts, but we got the two

* SOFTBALL TIED A RECORD
WITH SIX ERRORS.

Another year, another
Southeastern Conference
Tournament, another disappoint-
ing performance and another
early trip home for the UF softball
team (41-21, 18-12 Southeastern
Conference).
Of course, the fact that the
Gators hosted this year's contest
meant a quick trip back to wher-
ever "home" was, but the team's
loss Friday sent them packing
anyway.
UF was defeated 9-1 in a mercy-
rule loss to LSU (31-22), on Friday
afternoon, less than 24 hours after
being shut out 4-0 by Tennessee
Thursday evening.
Friday's loss was severe enough
to warrant a 40-minute post-game
team meeting with head coach
Karen Johns, who sent assistant
Carie Dever-Boaz to take her place
at the post-game press conference.
"I do not think that this team
came in or left the tournament the
way that they would have liked,"
Dever-Boaz said. "I think that
today our players were looking
to someone else to make the play
instead of thinking about .doing
what they needed to do."
The Gators' offense struggled to
get in sync all afternoon, as Tigers
pitcher Emily Turner kept the
Gators on a short leash. *
"I definitely controlled the bat-
ters," Turner said. "Florida has a
great lineup, all the way down, one
through nine, so I'm proud of my,
performance today."
"The loss was disappoint-
ing, but we have a really
good team. We have won
41 games this season...we
have to try to get ready for
NCAA Regionals and put
this behind us."
Care Dever-Boaz
assistant softball coach
The Gators teetered on the
edge of an offensive breakout
throughout the entire match,
but a ball a few feet wide of the
foul pole, a hit a couple of inches
short of the wall or a spectacular
defensive play always seemed to
hinder their efforts..
Trouble started for the Gators
in the fifth inning. With two
outs, the LSU offense suddenly
came alive, exploding with six
runs including a two-run homer
by Tigers first baseman Stephanie
Hill.
LSU added their final runs in
the-sixth and put the game away
by 'mercy rule, when, despite last-
minute efforts, the Gators were
unable to significantly close the
gap in their last at-bat.
But the method to Friday
afternoon's madness came not in.
a lack of offensive firepower from
UF. It was horrendous fielding
that proved the difference.
The Gators committed a sea-
son-high and SEC Tournament -
record-tying six errors during the
match and at times looked like a
team in complete mental disarray.
The Gators' poor outing briggs
them to a 1-10 SEC Tournament
record under Johns, a mark that
seems to contradict the success
that the Gators have usually en-
joyed during regular season play.
"The loss was disappointing,
but we have a really good team,"
Dever-Boaz said. "We have won
41 games this season...,we have
to try to get ready for NCAA
Regionals and put this behind
us."

NCAA MEN'S TENNIS
UF defeats Vandy, heads to Round of 16
By MICHAEL MAURINO
Alligator Writer
mmaurino@alligator.org
Heading into last weekend,
the UF men's tennis team had
won 17 of 18 dual matches,
including the Southeastern
Conference Tournament. Sunday,
it looked as if a rare loss was in the
cards and the Gators would be
knocked out of the second round
of the NCAA Championships on
their home court.
Still, UF managed to keep up
the momentum, and the Gators
are headed to the Round of 16.
Despite losing the doubles
point, the No. 3-seed Gators
(22-5) defeated No. 38 Vanderbilt
4-1 on Sunday, and will play
South Carolina next Saturday in
College Station, Texas.
I UF was leading on the second
and third courts for most of the
match. But after juniors Chris
Brandi and Jordan Dolberg
sealed the win on court two,
freshman Nestor Briceno and.ju-
nior Stefan Tell lost in a tiebreak.
Coach Andy Jackson was
-concerned not with the way the
Gators were defeated in doubles,
but with the way they lost.
"We know how to handle [los-
ing doubles] psychologically," he
said. "However, frankly, I was
upset. I thought we could be a bit
more disciplined with some of
the things that happened."
Coming out for singles, UF
jumped out to an early lead, win-
ning the first set in all six posi-
tions. Freshman. Greg Ouellette
was first to finish, as he-won
6-1, 6-2 at court two. Junior Ryan
Sherry then won at No. six by
winning the last four games of
the second set for a 6-4, 6-2 win.
On the top court, senior
Hamid Mirzadeh was matched
point-by-point against Vandy's
Scott Brown.
After winning
the first set 7-6
(7-3 tiebreak),
Mir zadeh
clinched a 6-4
win in the sec-
ond set with
an ace.
Mizradeh "I really
felt like when I needed a point
my serve came through a lot,"
Mirzadeh said. "I didn't feel as-
comfortable hitting off the base-
line as I usually do.... So having
my serve today really helped me
out a lot."
While Mirzadeh was complet-
ing his match, senior Vladimir
Obradovic was on the brink of
clinching UF's spot in the Sweet
16. Despite outbursts at the um-
pire's questionable calls, includ-
ing one where Jackson ran over
to calm him down, Obradovic
finished with a 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 win.
In the clinching match,
Jackson said Obradovic kept
his cool, which helped lead to a
victory.
"[Obradovic] can be so
competitive and he wants to
win so badly. Sometimes that
gets the better of him," Jackson
said. "It's something that he
has worked extremely hard on
over the last 2 years, and he has
made great strides. And it's paid.
off other times, but today it paid
off huge."
Team wins two of three games, prepares to host Stetson
BASEBALL, from page 18
wins and we have to look at the positive and
keep rolling."
UF catcher Brian Jeroloman hit his second
home run of the weekend in the loss, giving
him seven RBI for the series.
"We can't be more proud of our pitchers,
they've done a great job," Jeroloman said.
"Weird things happen in baseball, that's what
makes it so great."
From the onset of the Friday game, it ap-
peared that the slide might continue. Starter
Bryan Ball worked himself out of a jam,
throwing 31 pitches in the first inning without
allowing a run.
After LaPorta's home run, the entire team
settled down and played back to their capa-
bilities.
Ball (6-3) pitched a career-high 8.1 innings,
throwing 130 pitches in the 8-2 Friday win.
On Saturday, the Gators received an-
other stellar pitching performance from Alan
Home, who threw a complete game to give
the Gators a 2-1 win.
"It was a good. day for us," Home said.
"Any time you get back into first place is a
good day all around. Bryan did an outstand-
ing job on Friday. We're really cruising right
now."
The No. 13 Gators will host Stetson on
Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.
Reyes gets
100th win
TENNIS, from page 18
doubles of my life," she said.
"But it made me more deter--
mined to go into singles."
Another- freshman, Lolita
-Frangulyan, clinched UF's win,
but senior Zerene Reyes' win at
court two may have been the most
satisfying.
Despite being only 4 feet 10
inches tall, Reyes. is one of the
most consistent players on the
team.
Just like her previous matches,
Reyes avoided unforced errors in
her Saturday match, winning 6-1,
6-2. It was the 100th singles win in
her career.
Thomqvist likes his team's
chances after the first two rounds,
but things can be done to improve.
"At this point right now in -
singles, I feel like we're probably a
step ahead of where we've been all
year," he said. "There are a couple
of things in doubles we need to hit
in the days leading up to Baylor
but other than that, I think we're
doing really well."

UP ROUNDUP
Clement stars at SEC competition
STAFF REPORT
While the UF men's track team couldn't
cap'tire the Souheastem Conference out-
door crown at the Vanderbilt track this
weekend, the SEC received a heavy dosage
of Kerron Clement.
Clement, who broke track legend
Michael Johnson's record in the indoor
400m dash earlier this year, captured the
400m hurdles title and helped lead the
4x140m -and 4x400m relays to victories.
The 4xl00m was comprised of Richard
Adu-Bobie, Mike Morrison, Kyle Farmer
and Clement.
The 4x400m team of Sekou Clarke,
Reggie Witherspoon, Bernard Middleton
and Clement, set the SEC meet record with
a time of 3:02.23.
Overall, UF finished second with 116
points, not touching Arkansas's 169 points.
"We never come here to finish second,"
Coach Mike Holloway said. "My hat's off
to Arkansas they're a great team. I am
pleased with how we did. We came here
and. ended up performing well and doing
what I thought we could. This gives us
great momentum going into regionals and
then nationals."
WOMEN'S TRACK: The UF women's track
team didn't have quite the luck of the men
at the SEC outdoor championships, finish-
ing eighth in the nine-team competition.
The Gators finished with 32.16 points.
field with 145.20 points.
Freshman All-
American Natalie Knight
provided the Gators with
some success, finishing
third in the 200-meter
dash.
"The freshmen had
Knight a heck of a day," Coach
Tom Jones said. "Natalie was especially im-
pressive. The way she came back after the
relay to run the 200-meter the way she did
was a real accomplishment."
MEN'S BASKETBALL: Although the UF
men's basketball team could still have an
available scholarship for the upcoming
season should Anthony Roberson depart
for the NBA, Billy Donovan is already
thinking about the 2006-07 season.
Marreese Speights, a 6-foot-10,
245 pound center who played for St.
Petersburg's Admiral Farragut Academy
this year, verbally committed to join the
Gators following his senior season.
Despite being an academic junior,
Speights already played four years of bas-
ketball in the state of Florida, so he will fin-
'ish out his high school career at Virginia's
Hargrave Military Academy.
"The ceiling for Marreese in basketball
is unlimited," said Farragut coach Michael
Wells on the team's Web site. "He has the
perfect basketball body, can attack the hoop,
shoot from the perimeter and block shots."
WOMEN'S GOLF: The No. 11 ranked UF
women's golf team will begin its quest at
an NCAA Championship today in Sunriver,
Ore.
The Gators advanced to the NCAA
Championship coming off a seventh-place
finish in the 2005 NCAA East Regional
Championship, held in Gainesville on the
UF Golf Course.
The championship will be the third and
final appearance of the 2005 post-season for
the women golfers. UF will face a tourna-
ment field of 24 teams at the Sunriver Resort
on the Meadows Course, a par-71, 6,312-
yard course.
IANNINGS, from page 18
I remember a gymnastics meet I
was covering back in 2004. Foley was-
there, but the women's basketball team
was playing away. Foley's eyes were
glued to the TV watching the basket-
ball team.
At tennis this weekend, he asked
for baseball scores.
UF last won a, national champion-
ship in 2003 in women's tennis. With
all these spring teams making the
NCAAs, arid with five in the top 10
of their sports (men's and women's
tennis, men's and women's track, and
men's golf), there's no reason why it
can't happen again. And soon.
As busy as this weekend was, it
won't be getting any easier to follow
everything in the coming week.
All eight teams will be in action
starting today with women's golf.
Maybe, just maybe, one of the so-
called "lesser sports" could bring back
a championship.
Hopefully someone other than
Foley will care.

"This was step one for getting (control of) student activity fees taken away from [SG]. I think the administration should at least determine what amount is in the best interest of the student body. There has to be accountability.' Fletcher N. Baldwin Jr. director of the Centre for International Financial Crime A bill will be read in the Student Senate tonight proposing a $200,000 SG contribution to be taken from the tuition-funded Activity & Service fee, of which SG controls almost $11 million annually, that would purchase 20,000 student tickets for the FBK-organized and orchestrated production up front. The tickets would be distributed without additional cost to UF students, who will pay $8.66 of A&S fees per credithour taken during the 2005-06 academic year. Additionally, an immediate, unconditional $120,000 would be transferred from SG reserves to Student Government Productions as "operating capital" to be used "immediately," according to SG documents. SGP's loss means fewer of its student organization events will be funded this year. Though SG has no direct relationship with FBK, several high-ranking SG administrators, including Student Body President Joe Goldberg, are among the membership honorary's ranks. As part of a 1995 circuit-court lawsuit, FBK was found to actively involve itself in SG politics for its own benefit. UF law professor and Director of the Centre for International Financial Crime Fletcher N. Baldwin Jr. said he perceives this to be an "irresponsible decision." "This was step one for getting (control of) student activity fees taken away from [SG]," he said. "I think the administration should at least determine what amount is in the best interest of the student body. There has to be accountability." If not all 20,000 student tickets are distributed, the $200,000 SG allotment would be less by the number of tickets remaining. FBK Vice President Chris Carmody said $16, the price at which SG would be sold each student ticket, is the minimum price for FBK to make back its expenses for Gator Growl. FBK has named SG the official sponsor of the event. "The only way that I would sign this bill in favor of something of this sort, if theSenate approves it, is if it goes to a ticket subsidy," Goldberg said. "I think students should be excited about it. I think that either way, students will see a discount in their ticket this year or a SEE GROWL, PAGE 8 'Sober is Sexy' campaign among ideas to curb abuse Committee one of several discussing alcohol By CRISTYLE WOOD Alligator Writer A "Sober is Sexy" marketing campaign, identification scanners in nightclubs and standards for alcohol advertising in Gainesville were among topics covered in a meeting of UF officials, students and others in the Reitz Union on Thursday. Members of the Marketing/ Access Committee said they hope a marketing campaign to show the sexy side of sober would encourage students to limit their drinking. "The norm is not to go out and binge drink," said David Mica, a member of the Florida Petroleum Council who was at the meeting. The Marketing/Access Committee, a sub-committee of the Alachua County Alcohol Coalition, met in the Student Government Conference Room to discuss ways to connect with current and future UF students in an attempt to curb underage and excessive drinking. The meeting, headed by Martin Salamone, University Athletic Association Marketing/Promotions director, focused on decreasing the issues that promote drinking among college students, such as drink specials and radio advertising, all while increas-ing non-alcoholic activities on campus. A key point came when discussion turned. to concern Student of UF's annual ranking Le as a top-10 party school in several nationwide rankings and the projected image future UF students may see. Jess Johnson, UF alumnus and committee member, proposed a marketing idea, which he called, "What it Means to be a Gator," that encompassed expectations of prospective UF students. Also, Johnson recommended an expansion of the First Year Florida Program, a one-credit course offered to freshmen teaching need-to-know basics of life as a college student. Other suggestions included limiting the number of bars in Gainesville through zoning regulations and raising the minimum age of partiers at local bars and clubs to 21 years old. Also, offering more early-mdrming classes and 24-hour on-campus services, like those offered by the Southwest Rec Center, to reduce late-night partying were listed among possible ways to curb the drinking dilemma. As ideas from committee members flew back and forth, Salamone pushed for an understanding that this should not become an "us versus them conflict," but rather a collective effort between the county, university, and its students to enhance safety and enjoyment. Student Body President Joe Goldberg approved of the committee's plans but said he disagreed with setting a higher minimum age to enter bars. "I hope the committees find a way to project the pageantry and spirit of Gators, instead of the partying or drinking image," he said. Women's tennis advances to Round of 16 UF senior Zerene Reyes recorded her 100th career singles victory, leading the Gators to a 4-0 victory over Florida International in the second round of the NCAA Women's Tennis Championships. Reyes, the lone senior on the Gator squad, became just the 20th player in the history of the program to reach the 100-singles win plateau, as she downed Egle Petrauskaite 6-1, 6-2 at the No. 2 position to reach the milestone in the final home appearance of her career. The victory gave the Gators a 3-0 lead in the dual match.

TUESDAY, MAY 17, 2005 M ALLIGATOR, 3 ADMIN-ISTRATION drop% out By MIKE GIMIGNANI Alligator Staff Writer mginignani@alligator.org Just as officials feared, two of the six named as finalists by UF's Provost Search Committee have dropped out of the race to become the university's No. 2 administrator. The remaining four, plus an extra, previously "in limbo" candidate, will interview with the committee today and Wednesday Jane Close Conoley, a dean at Texas A&M University, gave notice Thursday after accepting a similar position at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, UF spokesman Steve Orlando said. Then, just a day before the first interview was to begin, fellow finalist Kim Wilcox accepted an offer to become provost at Michigan State University. The committee decided after Conoley left to add Toby Parcel, a dean at Purdue University, to the short list. Previously, the committee placed Parcel and semi-finalist Gerardo Gonzalez on the back burner in case one or more of the volatile top six dropped out of contention. Orlando said he did not know why Gonzalez did not move up after Wilcox pulled out but speculated that the short notice may have had somethidng to do with it. Calls to committee chairman Doug Barrett's office were not retuned. Barrett had previously informed the committee that of the interviewed finalists, only two or three would be recommended to UF President Bernie Machen for a decision. Another finalist from an earlier search, UF College of Engineering Dean Pramod Khargonekar, also will receive Machen's consideration, although he has not been involved with the current search. The committee has searched actively since former Provost David Colburn stepped down in December. Interim replacement Joe Glover, who sils on the search committee, has agreed to serve until a replacement is named, which officials originally expected to occur around June 1. 1ivI 1 r: ProvostPramod KhaRgcnekar IMMUNITY y PULLED OUT Dean, Texas Goiaeg of Edu Cati7 7 7VOTED OFF e, EsMOVED UP F 7'T'0 0 O.

WIndsor fs i stre n i zucchini THE TOWN'S VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT ESPECIALLY HAS BENEFITED FROM THE VEGETABLE. By BRENT STEINBERG Alligator Contributing Writer The scene was reminiscent of another time and place. Children ran merrily through the open fields, veterans stood proud in their old uniforms, families shared stories over a barbecue meal, and the sounds of Elvis filled the air. The spirit of small-town America was vibrant and strong, and strangely enough it was zucchini that brought these people together on this special occasion. On Saturday, in the community of Windsor just sevenmiles east of Gainesville, thousands gathered at the 21st Annual Zucchni Festival, which benefits the Windsor Volunteer Fire Department. "Other places have strawberry and watermelon festivals, so we figured why not a zucchini festival," said Bobbi Walton, festival chairwoman and unofficial Mayor of Windsor. The Zucchini Festival is probably best known for its homegrown fried zucchini, selling more than $1,000 worth last year. This year's activities included the "Zucchinithon Fun Run," the "Duke of Zuke & Zuqueenie Pageant," a "Cook-A-Zuke Contest,". children's rides and even the Kazucchini Marching Band. Walton has been involved since the festival's inception. The Zucchini Festival raised the funds necessary to build the fire station and has supported its operations ever since. Walton said that the people of Windsor became inspired to build a firehouse after the tragic deaths of two local girls in a structural fire 25 years ago. The station was constructed shortly thereafter. Without it, response time to Windsor would almost triple. "We were not going to stand by and let this happen if there was something that we could do to have a fire department," Walton said. "I was going to serve the lord somewhere and this is where he chose for me to serve." The Windsor Volunteer Fire Department serves many functions, 70 to 80 percent of which are emergency medical services. With the nearest hospital more than 12 miles away, volunteer firefighters are vital to the community. "My husband is alive today because the volunteers answered a medical call," Walton said. The fire station initially had a 10-year mortgage, but the festival was so successful, they paid it off in seven years, Walton said. "Every penny that we bring in goes toward the upkeep of the building and small community projects," Walton said. Those community projects have included sponsoring student trips to Washington, D.C., summer camps and hurricane relief efforts. Both the fire station and the Zucchini Festival have always been bastions of community support and pride. But the citizens ofWindsor showed more than just pride for their zucchinis. The outpouring of patriotism and support for American soldiers was visible at the festival's opening ceremonies, which included speeches from active military men, the U.S. Marines.Color Guard and a release of 21 doves. "We just felt compelled to honor those who have allowed us the freedoms we enjoy today," Walton said. "It is important to instill honor in the next generation." Dorothy Brown, the department's treasurer, described Windsor as a very patriotic community, in part because of the large percentage of young men who join the military. Brown's husband, Gene, was a prisoner of war during World War HI. "The community of Windsor is basically a very family-oriented area with strong traditional values," Brown said. "Our festival is more like a hometown picnic." Dorothy Brown Windsor Volunteer Fire Department treasurer Brown described the Zucchini Festival as a day of reunion for friends and family who may only see each other this one particular day each year. "Our festival is more like a hometown picnic," Brown said. Festival organizers said that the Zucchini Festival raised more than $10,000 for the Windsor Volunteer Fire Department, which is critical to covering the department's $70,000 annual budget. County funding, $58,000 per year, has not increased since 1985, said Dwayne King, the department's only paid firefighter. Since September 11, 2001, insurance and fuel costs have doubled. Seven volunteer firefighters, most of whom are also emergency medical technicians or paramedics, are always on call via pagers. The volunteer firefighters respond to the call no matter what time, day or night. "A lot of the volunteer firefighters have two jobs in addition to their responsibilities here," King said. "These guys will put out a structural fire in the middle of the night and who then have to go home, shower and go to work at their paid job on no sleep." King said it is hard to get volunteers because of the more than 150 hours of basic training necessary and the risks that are associated with being a firefighter. "I cannot say enough for the volunteer firefighters and their support of the community," King said. Whether in crises or celebration, the Windsor community spirit remains steadfast. "Windsor is like an old, small American town -the way it was 40 years ago," King said.

4, ALLIGATOR N TUESDAY, MAY 17, 2005 ON CAMPUS UF showcases research into medical technology By LYNDSEY LEWIS Alligator Writer Ilewis@alligator.org Business leaders converged in Gainesville on Friday for a summit showcasing medical technology. About 175 participants attended the all-day event, which was held at the Hilton University of Florida and hosted by the UF Foundation. "We were able to capture a lot of people's attention to come to UF and see what's going on," said Chris Needles, an event organizer. "It's our chance to tell our story and give a general sense of trends in the industry." Each year, the UF Foundation invites corporate leaders from around the country to the conference in Gainesville, designed to spark interest in a particular sector of the school's ongoing research, he said. The theme of this year's conference highlighted innovations in medical devices, emphasizing investment and licensing options for businesses. I came here to see the technology the university has for licensing," said Matthew Solar, vice president of Machen engineering at Image-Guided Neurologics, a local corporation. "The image-guided surgery is very interesting, and it's nice to have the university's breadth of technology so close by," Solar said. UF President BernieMachen, who made opening remarks, said the school's size provides an advantage in medical technology projects. He added that the multitude of available research opportunities in Gainesville opens the door for cooperation between academic fields. Several investors, like Dan Rua, a managing partner at Inflexion Fund, an investment firm with an office in Gainesville, were on hand to see the latest in medical science. "I think it's a fantastic conference, and they did a great job of bringing together the medical and engineering fields," Rua said. Speakers reflected the changing face of health science, presenting research in such fields as stem-cell therapies, DOD technology and image-guided surgical technologies. Study: Exotic names may lead to unfair assumptions STUDENTS WITH LESS COMMON NAMES SCORE LESS WELL ON TESTS. By LINDSAY PETER Alligator Contributing Writer Teachers subconsciously create a level of expectation from black students based on their names, a UF researcher has found. David Figio spent two-and-half years researching these expectations, suggesting that exotic-sounding names affect test scores as well as referral to gifted programs. "When you see a particular name, like David or Catherine, you internalize it in a different way than a name such as LaQuisha," said Figlio, whose findings appear in a working paper for the National Bureau of Economic Research, in a press release. "The story I'm telling is not whether one person is smarter t's subconscious. Teachers respond to names," he said. To be certain this subconscious level of expectation came from the name of a child and not other factors, Figlio observed children with the same last name who were close in age. Within the family you U F can statistically compare Research test scores, holding constant everything else within the family, he said. Two brothers -one with a more common name than the other -were treated differently. The brother with the more common name did better on tests, he found. Figlio said two messages can be drawn from his research. First, parents should feel free to name their children whatever they choose and children should be proud of their names. Second, educators shouldn't set expectations based on age, sex, skin color or name, but rather on performance. "Fifty years ago there were widespread beliefs that different races had different mental capacities; very few people believe that anymore. With increased education of educators, names won't carry that much weight either." .New Treadmils. Free Workout with this ad! atS Spring Te .$59.0 &N"".

TUESDAY, MAY 17, 2005 3 ALLIGATOR, 5 GAINESVILLE Development brings mixed feelings for businesses By CRYSTAL HENRY Alligator Writer chenry@aligator.org While the University Corners development promises more parking, restaurants and luxury condominiums with close access to campus, some businesses in the area are less than thrilled about packing up shop and leaving. "It (Modern Age Tobacco and Gift Shop) wasn't worth $300,000, and we paid them $750,000." Frank Darabi University Corners managing partner The new development project, which is only months from breaking ground, is a "waste of money" and "shady all the way around," said Tom Allen, general manager of Modern Age Tobacco and -Gift Shop, one of the businesses forced to move due to the three-block construction site. Last month, Modern Age moved from its 13th Street location to a new site beside Farrah's on University Avenue. The financiers for University Corners have been asking Modern Age to sell for a ."year or two," and the shop finally asked for and received a ridiculous amount of money, Allen said. Frank Darabi, managing partner of the University Corners project, agrees the purchase price for the gift shop was excessive. "It wasn't worth $300,000, and we paid them $750,000," said Darabi, adding that he hopes the project is complete by September 2007. Darabi added that while Modern Age and Maui Teriyaki have unresolved issues, most businesses affected by the project are satisfied. "I'm glad [Modern Age] is out of there," Darabi said, adding the shop owner defaced the property before leaving by spray painting the word "moved" on the side of the building. Not all business owners feel mistreated by University Corners. "They're treating us beautifully," said Janet Akerson, Burrito Bros. Taco Co. coowner. When construction gets underway, Burrito Bros. will relocate to the Presbyterian Student Center until the project is completed, said Akerson, who said she is happy that construction will include a newer, bigger kitchen in the student center. One reason Akerson approves of the project is because both Burrito Bros. and the student center will have new kitchens. Akerson said she and her husband, Randy, don't want to move from their "little hole in the wall" which has been a Gainesville staple for almost 30 years, but she admitted the building is old and rent for the 330-square-foot space is "outrageous." The three-block project -which will include one level of underground parking, a seven-story parking garage, restaurants, retail stores and luxury condominiums -will cause the closing of sections of Northwest First Avenue and Northwest Second Avenue, according to proposed construction plans. review mealtime rows eave bad taste for students M BROWARD DINING TAKES HUNDREDS MORE DURING THE SESSIONS. By DOUGLAS BONEPARTH Alligator Contributing Writer In an attempt to acclimate incoming students, UF may have bitten off more than it can chew. Preview, a program designed to acquaint incoming students to UF, feeds more than 6,700 soon-to-be Gators from May to July at Broward Dining. However, many summer students trying to dine at Broward are finding the surge of UF's new blood to be blood-boiling. "We average about 700 to 800 people in each Preview session," said Josh Weiss, a Preview staffer. Weiss said Preview dinner begins at 5 p.m. and lasts until 7:30 p.m., usually when most students on a meal plan eat dinner. He also said there are three eating rotations during the scheduled dinner time, feeding about 200 to 300 people per rotation, excluding family members. "Sometimes the regulars give me a dirty look," Weiss said. "I think students know we have to feed these people, so they don't say too much." Tom Petroro, a senior in the College of -Health and Human Performance, said that Broward Dining's best efforts may not be a solution to students' problems. "I like to eat around Student 6 p.m., and on.Preview Life days, Broward Dining is packed," he said. "I have to spend an extra 30 to 40 minutes fighting the lines." Petroro suggested possible solutions to the dining glut, including re-opening Gator Corner Dining Center for the stumer or taking smaller Preview groups to Broward Dining. "It's just one thing I will have to put up with," Petroro said. "As long as they don't run out of food, I will be all right." Gator Dining Services, UF's official food-service provider, held a positive outlook on feeding Preview attendees at Broward Dining. "Our staff is working extra hard to put on a good show," said Courtney Moon, marketing assistant for Gator Dining Services. "Our sales team pays close attention to helping the Preview families, because they know it's a big time for selling meal plans." In addition to Gator Dining Service's extra work, Moon said that they have expanded the menu, overstaffed their facilities and increased work hours for the Preview months. "The food is tip-top during Preview, because our chefs are working extra hard," she said. "All of our staff actually has a lot of fun during Preview because they get to interact more than usual." Moon said that a sign will soonbe posted outside Broward Dining displaying the times and dates Preview will use the facility for dinner. "Of course Preview will affect students eating at Broward Dining," Moon said. "Nobody wants to wait in line." Museum curator wins archaeological achievement award By CASSIDY MILLS Alligator Contributing Writer As if having a martini named after him wasn't enough, Florida Museum of Natural History Curator of Archaeology Jerald T. Milanich received a Lifetime On Achievement Award on Friday. CaMPUS The award was presented by the Florida Archaeological Council in a ceremony that highlighted his academic accomplishments as well as his sense of humor. The martini was dedicated by the former Wolfgang's Restaurant. "It was a very, very dry Bombay Sapphire martini with two anchovy-stuffed olives," Milanich said. Several people spoke at the event, includ.ing Gainesville Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan. She -immediately set the tone of the ceremony by asking the audience how long it takes archaeologists to go from studying artifacts to becoming one. The humor continued throughout the evening as colleagues and former students reminisced on Milanich's career and the impact he has had in their lives and the academic world of archaeology. Kathleen Deagan, a former student of Milanich's, spoke at the event. "Jerry loves to be amused and has -an irresistible appreciation of humor," she said. "Early on, Jerry put forth two (then) heretical notions: Even the most serious archaeology can and should be fun, and you don't have to be uncomfortable to be an archaeologist." As an educator, Milanich supervised more than 100 graduate students. Published more than 190 times, he encouraged his students to do the same. "Jerry has been profoundly generous in sharmg ideas, bringing people together, finding money and simply making things happen," Deagan said. In addition to his other Milanich work, Milanich's role' as Bullen Series editor for the University Press of Florida has helped spread Florida archaeology information around the world. Other former students spoke at the event and shared how Milanich was influential in their lives. Milanich was once referred to as a "benign version of the Tasmanian Devil." Milanich is one of only three people to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award since the founding of the Florida Archaeological Council. "I was very flattered, especially since it came from people who are old friends," said Milanich. Milanich said he will continue to'research and write for Archaeology magazine and other popular venues. "I've always believed that if you're going to do archaeology, have fun," Milanich said.

6, ALLIGATOR 0 TUESDAY, MAY 17, 2005 Frivolous Butler has no business filing Sun lawsuit wo words we rarely mention on these pages: Gainesville Sun. They don't bring us up much, either -we are competing publications in the same area, and like any two rival businesses, we rarely find the place in our hearts to cooperate. Once in a while, however, something causes both of us to take notice. One of those moments passed last week, when the Sun was served a lawsuit filed by real-estate magnate and allaround big fish Clark Butler -as in Butler Plaza. We are not surprising anyone by stating how flat-out frivolous his claims are. Butler's suit argues that the Sun "intentionally and recklessly portrayed [Butler] in a false light," through articles and opinions the paper printed about him. At least from our reading of Butler's complaint, he never challenges the truth of what the Sun printed. In that sense, he's accusing the newspaper's staff of doing their jobs. In the past, Butler gave County Commissioner Cynthia Chestnut a $171 ticket to attend a UF function and lent his yacht to State Sen. Rod Smith for his daughter's wedding. Butler contends the Sun was reckless in mentioning these actions, inferring that the paper had no right to do so. But the Sun had very good reason to report them -the state's Ethics Commission later fined Chestnut for accepting her ticket. Smith, who calls Butler a "family friend," later used Butler's employees in preparing a Legislature request for $2 million for the Southwest 24th Avenue paving project. It is unlikely that those facts, suspicious as they are, would be discovered without the able work of Sun reporters, including two mentioned by name in Butler's suit. The newspaper presented the facts and did not itself pass judgment on them. That's for its readers to decide. The truth is, men of means likeClark Butler don't need newspapers to have their will be done. He's got his buddies in Congress and the Florida Legislature for that. News media serve the rest of us: those who want their opinions heard and their curiosity piqued. Few enough people attend or watch County Commission meetings that we have people who are paid to summarize the important stuff for us. Butler, both personally and through his business, is a force in Alachua County. Yet his original complaint contends he is a private figurethat is, he has not tried to influence decision-making on a public issue by his actions or words. However, the shopping-mall tycoon has taken deliberate action in trying for years to turn the 24th Avenue project to his benefit. His lobbying ostensibly led to federal and state funding for the project, which may have had strings attached. Besides, he's one of the most influential people in a moderate-sized town and has been for years. If he's a private figure, we're lug nuts. Finally, Butler included letters to the editor printed in the Sun -including one from County Commissioner Mike Byerly -and even a Jake Fuller cartoon as evidence that the newspaper was reckless. We don't like hearing anyone, especially connected individuals like Clark Butler, say that upstanding citizens cannot express their opinions. There's just something un-American about that. It's clear to us that the Sun's only agenda in exposing the possible reasons behind Butler's actions is fairness to those who don't know the whole story and wouldn't if the paper had not existed. The Sun faces a lawsuit because its staff told the truth.

Republicans are in a tiff over what they label "obstructionist tactics" by the Democrats. President Bush's judicial nominees have been unable to receive a floor vote in the Senate because of Democratic filibusters. Since the judges involved in the Terry Schiavo case allowed for the removal of her feeding tube, the Republicans have become increasingly infuriated with judges they have labeled as "activists." As a result, they are attempting to exert as much influence as possible on issues, such as gay marriage and abortion, by eliminating the filibuster in order to expedite the confirmation of judicial nominees. The filibuster has existed for roughly 200 years. It allows senators to withhold a vote by talking about any topic they choose. Sixty votes ar'e required to end a filibuster. Remember when you were four years old, and you were completely uninterested in what your parents had to say? What did you do? You would begin an entirely mature and sophisticated diatribe of, "La Ia la, I'm not listening, la la la." Basically, that is a filibuster. Well, kind of. Sounds ridiculous, right? Although it is somewhat absurd when a senator rambles on about his childhood, the filibuster is actually important to the democratic process. It is exemplary of the checks and balances espoused by our founding fathers as essential to a successful American government. The Democrats are severely outnumbered in the Senate 55 to 44 (the 100th seat belongs to an independent), and the filibuster is their last resort to prevent tyranny of the As a result of the Democrats' actions, the Republicans have threatened to commence operation "nuclear option." Uh-oh, sounds scary. Basically, they would attemptto change Senate rules by outlawing filibusters against judicial nominees. They would only need a simple majority to enact the ruling. Republicans have taken this issue too far to the extreme. Only 10 of their 204 nominees have not been confirmed. Apparently a 95-percent success rate is just not good enough for them. President Bush has had more success in judicial confirmations than any other president in the last 25 years. To attack the Democrats for withholding 10 nominees who lack any semblance of balance is ludicrous, especially when more than 60 of Bill Clinton's nominees were opposed. However, the Republicans' real motivation is to clear the path for the confirmation of an ultraconservative Supreme Court justice when the time arises. This would give Republicans the upper hand in inevitable fights over abortion and gay marriage. The Republicans should be careful what they wish for. When Democratic President Franklin Delano Roosevelt wanted to increase the member of Supreme Court justices in order to pass highly contested New Deal policies, his own party opposed the idea.

Guest column 'Trek' explored many pop-culture frontiers R eports of Star Trek's death have been greatly exaggerated. From The New York Times' laconic and respectful obituary of the show to the absolutely deranged attack by Orson Scott Card in the Los Angeles Times, there have been many words to describe Star Trek in its passing -but none that properly accord the phenomenon with the respect it deserves. During its forty-year life span, Star Trek generally reflected the times. The Original Series showed unbounded enthusiasm for exploration and humanity's ability to improve and overcome. The Next Generation showed similar ideals, although they were more and more mitigated by the darker paranoid, conspiratorial discourse of the 1990s. Deep Space Nine descended fully into the conflicting duality of human nature. The final, uninspired incarnations of Star Trek: Voyager and Enterprise were commercially-induced perversions of the core art form, to be sure, but would intelligently grapple with serious themes such as suicide and lawfully detaining citizens. Star Trek "stupidly" put the first interracial kiss on television in 1968 between Lieutenant Uhura and Captain Kirk. Christian Star Trek "stuWaugh pidly" had one of Speaking Out the first lesbian kisses on television. Star Trek "stupidly" showed the beginnings and ends of both deontological and teleological reasoning. Star Trek "stupidly" showed that religion can have a place in a society's discourse and that it should be respected since it represents people's deep-seeded beliefs. In other words, Star Trek "stupidly" pushed the boundaries of what is acceptable in order to show what could be -indeed, contrary to the bubble-gum wrapper analysis of Card's editorial, Star Trek was hardly stupid. In fact, it was often courageous. Instead of pushing a party line, it often exposed us to shades of gray, and showed that even tyrants afe people -a fact often lost in political discourse thinly disguised to rouse people's emotions and votes. A commitment to open-minded exploration of the possibilities that lay ahead of humanity is what ultimately drove the crew of the Enterprise -who grew to become our heroes as well as our friends. As for what brought it all together in the end, I think it was how Star Trek proclaimed "the human adventure is just beginning." From disparate individualities and infinite diversity, beauty can be derived and understood by all. Card once wrote, "when it comes to human beings, the only type of cause that matters is final cause, the purpose. What a person had in mind. Once you understand what people really want, you can't hate them anymore. You .can fear them, but you can't hafe them, because you can always find the same desires in your own heart." Card would do well to remember his words before impeaching the greatest American manifestation of them. In the final Original Series movie, some conservative commentators lament the end of history should the Federation make peace with its enemy, the Klingon Empire. But Kirk argues that the undiscovered country that lies beyond them represented not the end of history, or death, but another kind of life. After all, as Mr. Speck says, "there are always possibilities." May Star Trek journey to all the undiscovered countries yet, boldly going where no one has gone before. Christian Waugh is a first-year late student. TUESDAY, MAY 17, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 7 Letter to the Editor Editor: Eastside rightly deserves the No. 4 ranking in the national high school poll. Newsweek (a sufficient resource of information) has compiled a list of high schools on the criteria of "the most credit exams taken." Reading the rest of Tuesday's article clearly stipulates the conditions of this criterion. Mentioning that Eastside High School is located in "one of the worst neighborhoods in Gainesville" and that "most IB graduates were white" are irrelevant to Newsweek choosing this school. Are you implying that "white students in a poor neighborhood" have solely bolstered Eastside High School on the weight of their shoulders? I hardly think so! How can you dare state that the "40 percent of the impoverished students" are not taking the credit exams? As the Alligator's Tuesday article also explains, criteria such as "the passing rate of schools" have not worked in the past due to some high schools forcing average students from taking exams. I suggest that you accept Newsweek's analysis and also accept that Eastside indeed is ranked No. 4.

8, ALLIGATOR N TUESDAY, MARCH 8, 2005 UAA passed on contributing to event PUBLIC SAFETY Man stalks from prson By IVETTE MENDEZ Alligator Writer imendez@alligator.org A Gainesville man was arrested Sunday for stalking a UF employee, reports state. James Edgel, of 12001 NW 147th Place,' allegedly contacted Bonnie Burgess, an administrative assistant at the McKnight Brain Institute, from the Santa Rosa Correctional Institution. "It threw up a red flag for me," Burgess said. Burgess first met Edgel through her parents, she said. "I've known this man for over 20 years. We grew up in the same hometown," Burgess said. "Both my parents were educators in the city of Alachua. My parents taught him in school." The first .time Edgel contacted her since then was one year ago from the institution, Burgess said. Edgel was incarcerated at the facility for grand theft and. his third conviction of petty theft, according to the Florida Department of Corrections Web site. To make sure Edgel knew that he should not contact her, Burgess said she went through the proper procedures. The Alachua Police Department contacted Edgel at the correctional facility on April 19 and read him a trespass letter, stating that he was not to contact Burgess in any way, according to reports. However, after Edgel's April 27 release, he reportedly tried to reach Burgess on several occasions, though she said she was unclear as to why. "I'm just a people person," she said. On May 12, Edgel called Burgess and left a message on her machine stating that there was a box on her porch, reports state. When Burgess checked her porch, she .allegedly found the box and proceeded to call APD. The box reportedly contained several items that Edgel had previously mailed to Burgess, which she had refused to accept. Edgel was arrested on Northwest 135th Terrace at 158th Avenue after an officer recognized him, APD spokeswoman Carrie Lurd said. ."I don't know what instigated this," Burgess said. "We were able to circumvent, at least momentarily, anything happening to me." GROWL, from page 1 free ticket. Student Gove ment is in charge of making sure that students are getting the best bang for their buck." Gator Growl attendance has fallen in recent years, from a sell-out crowd of 57,000 in 2002 to only 42,000 in 2004, which FBK and SG officials blame on the vibrant hurricane season, the four-day weekend it occurred on and a "subpar football season." FBK lost a total of $181,000 at last year's event. But this year there is more to worry about than the, active waters of the Atlantic Ocean. FBK only has $30,000 in line to begin production of this Fall's Growl, compared with. previous sums of about $100,000, said FBK Treasurer Lauren Fackender. She said she could not remember a time when the starting budget, which is partially comprised of the previous year's ticket sales, was as low. Gator Growl Producer Robert Cannody said FBK is planning to put together a "barebones show," after seeing, a $235,000 cut in its budget from last year. The talent budget for this year's events has been reduced to $50,000. Last year's Growl guests, comedians Dane Cook and Bill Engvall, received about $135,000 total. In addition, several Homecoming events have been canceled, and FBK will be forced to use the in-house public address system. Fireworks have been completely cut. However, Robert Carmody said there is no reason to be alarmed about talent at the show, which has seen the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Cosby and Jay Leno in previous years. "Last year, we overpaid the talent," he said. "There's a lot of talent out there who I think a lot of us would consider better talent than what we brought last year, for a lot less." Chris Carmody said FBK wanted the University Athletic Association to allow them to use Ben Hill Griffin Stadium's north endzone for the stage, which would save FBK $90,000 in technical costs because of the way sound travels and the equipment needed. The repositioning of the stage would have meant stadium skybox ticket holders would have to change boxes or move entirely. UAA did not deem the scenario feasible; however, the organization Student agreed to help with marketOVerninTnl t ing and promotions. Next, Chris Carmody went to SG with a $150,000 proposal to offset Growl costs. "We didn't want to come to SG," he said. "We don't want (the reserves) to be treated as a piggy bank that we can break any time we want. We won't come back next year." Chris Carmody, Goldberg and other FBK and SG officials then determined that SG would more than double the amount to a combined $320,000 contribution. Chris Carmody added that this will probably be the only year that students will receive "free" Gator Growl tickets. He said FBK will try to keep prices at $10 or less in the future. He called the plan a "small risk" with potential for a "huge reward." Goldberg said he is confident in the bill because UF's head football coach, Urban Meyer, has given the idea a thumbs-up. "The fact that we have Urban Meyer on board speaks volumes," he said. "He couldn't believe students pay for [Gator Growl]." 3010 SW Archer Rd 374-9227 r --AiNESVILLE DOJO any 4-month membership for boxing or kickboxing 2,3, or 4 nights/wk 536 SW 2nd Ave Call 378-3070 for more info --T ND THURif S WED 4:30pm, 7 5pm, 9:45pml Hippodrome Cinema 375-HIPP Stay in Gainesville and earn Concentrations in:.

S Urt7s TUESDAY, MAY 17, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org UF adacswith second-round won EN MICHAEL MAURINO FIU, the Gators still had to deal Alligator Writer with the past. mmaurino@ailigator.org "The second-round "host showed up there for the first The memory of last year be20 minutes, I thought, in came ancient history Saturday doubles again," Coach Roland afternoon. With last year's loss out of its thoughts, the UF women's tennis team steamrolled through the first two rounds of the NCAA Championships this weekend. "1The last two days I've been playing probably the worst doubles of my life. But it made me more determined to go into singles." Whitney Benik UF tennis player The Gators (20-2) defeated South Carolina State on Friday and Florida International on Saturday by back-to-back 4-0 scores. With the wins, UF is now set to face Baylor in the Round of 16 in Athens, Ga. on ~rscday. This season, UF has been haunted by its 4-3 upset loss to Miami in 2004's second round that ended a quest for a repeat title. With three members of the 2004 squad in the lineup against Thornqvist said. But, as quickly as the ghost appeared, they vanished and the second-seeded Gators took over. Falling behind immediately on the top two doubles courts, UF looked to be in early trouble. But, Thornqvist said the Gators' talent took over, as UF took two of three doubles matches for the first point of the day. In singles, UF dominated, winning the first set on all. six courts. With the exception of junior Jennifer Magley dropping four consecutive games in the second set'on court one, the Gators' sweep was never in doubt. Freshman Whitney Benik, who was defeated with teammate Alex Liles in doubles, was a different player in singles. Winning on the fourth court with two consecutive scores of 6-1, she earned UF's second point and said her poor doubles play changed her mindset heading into her singles match. "The last two days I've been playing probably the worst SEE TENNIS, PAGE 19 Tim Casey / Alligator Staff UF senior Zerene Reyes recorded her 100th singles victory, leading the Gators to a 4-0 win over Florida International. Spring sports prove all-around dominance It was a pretty crazy weekend for UF There was softball, men's and women's track in the SEC Tournament, men's and women's and tennis in the NCAA Tournament, and, oh yeah, baseball. That's way too much to keep track of. I imagine Athletics Director Jeremy Foley's head was spinning. (Although he was the Gators' biggest cheerleader at the matches I attended.) But it's not a bad spinning. It's definitely a good one. Because all six of these teams are in or are headed to NCAA competition in their respective sports. Also, men's and women's golf are also NCAA Regional bound. That's eight out of the eight spring sports that UF offers that are in the top 25 of their conference. "What's your point, Ian?" you ask. "I only care about Ian Fisher football and basketExtra lannings ball." ifisher@aigator.org Well, that's where you and Foley differ. Criticize the basketball and football teams as much as you want. I've done it plenty. (I think football may be making a change for the better, though.) But it's tough to criticize UF's entire athletic program. Foley has built one of the best, most balanced athletic programs in the country, and this busy weekend was just a symbol of how good UF is in most sports. Of the 20 sports UF fields, 17 were in the top 25 in their most recent polls. The lone teams not making the cut? Women's basketball and both cross country teams. Every year, the all-sports rankigs come out. Every year, UF is in the top 10. UF has been in the top 10 for over 20 consecutive years. The only other school to do such is UCLA. While you may not care about all these "lesser sports," Foley does. The man is seemingly everywhere on busy weekends such as last. SEE IANNINGS, PAGE 20 BASEBALL Gators back in first place By TIM CASEY Alligator Writer tcasey@allgator.org The Gators finally got the hit they were waiting for. Matt LaPorta belted his 20th home run of the season in the bottom of the first inng on Friday night, giving the Gators the breath of life they had been missing. The blast put UP up 3-0, but, more importantly, it provided the team with a collective sigh of relief. The entire team was seemingly mired in an unexplainable funk, losing nine of its previous 14 games up to that point, falling from third to 10th in national polls and dropping out of the Southeastern Conference lead. By the end of the weekend, the Gators (34-18, 17-10 SEC) were once again in first place, half a game ahead of Tennessee after defeating Mississippi State on Friday and Saturday. MSU (33-18, 12-14 SEC) LaPorta rallied to win the Sunday game 6-5, handing the Gators a loss that could mean the difference between first and third place in the conference final standings when the regular season concludes tlhs weekend. "It was a heck of a college baseball game, and unfortunately we ended up on the short end of it today," UF coach Pat McMahon said. The Gators are now 10-5 in one-run games thids season. Senior pitcher Mike Pete had his second consecutive impressive performance on the mound. He entered the game with the bases loaded and none out in the sixtk inning and struck out both batters he faced. "We definitely need guys to step up at the end," Fete said. "I'm going to do my best to be that guy. If I come in and falter, there's got to be somebody to step up after me. e Darren O'Day struck out the next batter to end the scoring threat. The Bulldogs rallied to score two runs in the top of the ninth on two hits and a crucial throwing error by defensive replacement third baseman Matt Gaski. The Gators put e tying run on base when Adam Davis bunted for a hit. LaPorta lined out to right field, then Davis was caught stealing to end the game. "We had a lot of chances during the game to stay in it," Davis said. "We just needed to hit the ball on the ground a couple of times to get a run in, but we didn't do that. "You gotta take any chance you have to set a sweep of a series.

N SOFTBALL TIED A RECORD WITH SIX ERRORS. By SPENCER DAVIS-VANNESS Alligator Writer sdvanness@alIigator.org Another year, another Southeastern Conference Tournament, another disappointing performance and -another early trip home for the UF softball team (41-21, 18-12 Southeastern Conference). Of course, the fact that the Gators hosted this year's contest meant a quick trip back to wherever "home" was, but the team's loss Friday sent them packing anyway. UF was defeated 9-1 in a mercyrule loss to LSU (31-22), on Friday afternoon, less than 24 hours after being shut out 4-0 by Tennessee Thursday evening. Friday's loss was severe enough to warrant a 40-minute post-game team meeting with head coach Karen Johns, who sent assistant Care Dever-Boaz to take her place at the post-game press conference. "I do not think that this team came in or left the tournament the way that they would have liked," Dever-Boaz said. "I think that today our players were looking to someone else to make the play instead of thinking about doing what they needed to do." The Gators' offense struggled to get in sync all afternoon, as Tigers pitcher Emily Turner kept the Gators on a short leash. "I definitely controlled the batters," Turner said. "Florida has a great lineup, all the way down, one through nine, so I'm proud of my performance today." "The loss was disappointing, but we have a really good team. We have won 41 games this season.we have to try to get ready-for NCAA Regionals and put this behind us." Care Dever-Boaz assistant softball coach The Gators teetered on the edge of an offensive breakout throughout the entire match, but a ball a few feet wide of the foul pole, a hit a couple of inches short of the wall or a spectacular defensive play always seemed to hinder their efforts. Trouble started for the Gators in the fifth inning. With two outs, the LSU offense suddenly came alive, exploding with six runs including a two-run homer by Tigers first baseman Stephanie Hill. LSU added their final runs in the sixth and put the game away by'mercy rule, when, despite lastminute efforts, the Gators were unable to significantly close the gap in their last at-bat. But the method to Friday afternoon's madness came not in a lack of offensive firepower from UF. It was horrendous filing that proved the difference. The Gators committed a season-high and SEC Tournament record-tying six errors during the match and at times looked like a team in complete mental disarray. The Gators' poor outing bri gs them to a 1-10 SEC Tournament record under Johns, a mark that seems to contradict the success that the Gators have usually enjoyed during regular season play. "The loss was disappointing, but we have a really good team," Dever-Boaz said. "We have won 41 games this season. we have to try to get ready for NCAA Regionals and put this behind us.

The Gators were one of six Southeastern Conference tears to receive a berth and one of five chosen tm host a regional; site, UF will take on Bethune-Cookman in the opening round at 3:30 p.m on Friday.

'n anxious to start watching ,flm-' NCAA MEN'S TENNIS UF defeats Vandy, heads to Round of 16 By MICHAEL MAURINO Alligator Writer mmaurino@aIIigator.org Heading into last weekend, the UF men's tennis team had won 17 of 18 dual matches, including the Southeastern Conference Tournament. Sunday, it looked as if a rare loss was in the cards and the Gators would be knocked out of the second round of the NCAA Championships on their home court. Still, UF managed to keep up the momentum, and the Gators are headed to the Round of 16. Despite losing the doubles point, the No. 3-seed Gators (22-5) defeated No. 38 Vanderbilt 4-1 on Sunday, and will play South Carolina next Saturday in College Station, Texas. UF was leading on the second and third courts for most of the match. But after juniors Chris Brandi and Jordan Dolberg sealed the win on court two, freshman Nestor Briceno and junior Stefan Tell lost in a tiebreak. Coach Andy Jackson was -concerned not with the way the Gators were defeated in doubles, but with the way they lost. "We know how to handle [losing doubles] psychologically," he said. "However, frankly, I was upset. I thought we could be a bit more disciplined with some of the things that happened." Coming out for singles, UF jumped out to an early lead, winning the first set in all six positions. Freshman Greg Ouellette was first to finish, as he -won 6-1, 6-2 at court two. Junior Ryan Sherry then won at No. six by winning the last four games of the second set for a 6-4, 6-2 win. On the top court, senior Hamid Mirzadeh was matched point-by-point against Vandy's Scott Brown. After winning the first set 7-6 (7-3 tiebreak), clinched a 6-4 win in the second set with an ace. Mizradeh "I really felt like when I needed a point my serve came through a lot," Mirzadeh said. "I didn't feel as comfortable hitting off the baseline as I usually do. So having my serve today really helped me out a lot." While Mirzadeh was completing his match, senior Vladimir Obradovic was on the brink of clinching UF's spot in the Sweet 16. Despite outbursts at the umpire's questionable calls, including one where Jackson ran over to calm him down, Obradovic finished with a 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 win In the clinching match, Jackson said Obradovic kept his cool, which helped lead to a victory. "[Obradovic] can be so competitive and he wants to win so badly. Sometimes that gets the better of him," Jackson said. "It's something that he has worked extremely hard on over the last 2 years, and he has made great strides. And it's paid off other times, but today it paid off huge." Team wins two of three games, prepares to host Stetson BASEBALL, from page 18 wins and we have to look at the positive and keep rolling." UF catcher Brian Jeroloman hit his second home run of the weekend in the loss, giving him seven RBI for the series. "We can't be more proud of our pitchers, they've done a great job," Jeroloman said. "Weird things happen in baseball, that's what makes it so great." From the onset of the Friday game, it appeared that the slide might continue. Starter Bryan Ball worked himself o 'ut of a jam, throwing 31 pitches in the first inning without allowing a run After LaPorta's home run, the entire team settled down and played back to their capabilities. Ball (6-3) pitched a career-high 8.1 innings, throwing 130 pitches in the 8-2 Friday win. On Saturday, the Gators received another stellar pitching performance from Alan Horne, who threw a complete game to give the Gators a 2-1 win. "It was a good day for us," Home said. "Any time you get back into first place is a good day all around. Bryan did an outstanding job on Friday. We're really cruising right now." The No: 13 Gators will host Stetson on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. Reyes gets 100th win TENNIS, from page 18 doubles of my life," she said. "But it made me more determined to go into singles." Another -freshman, Lolita Frangulyan, clinched UF's win, but senior Zerene Reyes' win at court two may have been the most satisfying. Despite being only 4 feet 10 inches tall, Reyes is one of the most consistent players on the team. Just like her previous matches, Reyes avoided unforced errors in her Saturday match, winning 6-1, 6-2. It was the 100th singles win in her career. Thornqvist likes his team's chances after the first two rounds, but things can be done to improve. "At this point right now in 4 singles, I feel like we're probably a step ahead of where we've been all year," he said. "There are a couple of things in doubles we need to hit in the days leading up to Baylor but other than that, I think we're doing really well."

20, ALLIGATOR E TUESDAY, MAY 17, 2005 UF ROUNDUP Clement stars at SEC competition STAFF REPORT While the UF men's track team couldn't cap'ture the Soulheastern Conference outdoor crown at the Vanderbilt track this weekend, the SEC received a heavy dosage of Kerron Clement. Clement, who broke track legend Michael Johnson's record in the indoor 400m dash earlier this year, captured the 400m hurdles title and helped lead the 4x1+0m and 4x400m relays to victories. The 4x100m was comprised of Richard Adu-Bobie, Mike Morrison, Kyle Farmer and Clement. The 4x400m team of Sekou Clarke, Reggie Witherspoon, Bernard Middleton and Clement, set the SEC meet record with a time of 3:02.23. Overall, UF finished second with 116 points, not touching Arkansas's 169 points. "We never come here to finish second," Coach Mike Holloway said. "My hat's off to Arkansas -they're a great team. I am pleased with how we did. We came here and ended up performing well and doing what I thought we could. This gives us great momentum going into regionals and then nationals." WOMEN'S TRACK: The UF women's track team didn't have quite the luck of the men at the SEC outdoor championships, finishing eighth in the nine-team competition. The Gators finished with 32.16 points. South Carolina won the field with 145.20 points. Freshman AllAmerican Natalie Knight provided the Gators with some success, finishing third in the 200-meter dash. "The freshmen had a heck of a day," Coach Tom Jones said. "Natalie was especially impressive. The way she came back after the relay to nm the 200-meter the way she did was a real accomplishment." MEN'S BASKETBALL: Although the UF men's basketball team could still have an available scholarship for the upcoming season should Anthony Roberson depart for the NBA, Billy Donovan is already thinking about the 2006-07 season. Marrleese Speights, a 6-foot-10, 245 pound center who played for St. Petersburg's Admiral Farragut Academy this year, verbally committed to join the Gators following his seinor season. Despite being an academic junior, Speights already played four years of basketball in the state of Florida, so he will finish out his high school career at Virginia's Hargrave Military Academy "The ceiling for Marreese in basketball is unlimited," said Farragut coach Michael Wells on the team's Web site. "He has the perfect basketball body, can attack the hoop, shoot from the perimeter and block shots." WOMEN'S GOLF: The No. 11 ranked UF women's golf team will begin its quest at an NCAA Championship today in Sunriver, Ore. The Gators advanced to the NCAA Championship coming off a seventh-place finish in the 2005 NCAA East Regional Championship, held in Gainesville on the UF Golf Course. The championship will be the third and final appearance of the 2005 post-season for the women golfers. UF will face a tournament field of 24 teams at the Sunriver Resort on the Meadows Course, a par-71, 6,312yard course. ~SPRAYGLO, -iIOUND EFFECTS .COLLISiON R EPAIR **/ OFF ON BODY -DENT REPAIR LABOR & COLL;SION RUST RIEPAIR i REPAiRS FOR STUDENTS, #INANCItIG 15 FACULTY, AND STAFF. &VAILABLE ---AVloz1 ,JfVVC, V4333%*'6TH 1ST.

Foley was there, but the women's basketball team was playing away. Foley's eyes were glued to the TV watching the basketball team. At tennis this weekend, he asked for baseball scores. UF last won a national championship in 2003 in women's tennis. With all these spring teams making the NCAAs, afid with five in the top 10 of their sports (men's and women's tennis, men's and women's track, and men's golf), there's no reason why it can't happen again. And soon. As busy as this, weekend was, it won't be getting any easier to follow everything in the coming week. All eight teams will be in action starting today with women's golf. Maybe, just maybe, one of the socalled "lesser sports" could bring back a championship. Hopefully someone other than Foley will care. Knight
