Letter from te interim Dean

\s Will Rogers noted, "Ev\en
if ou are on the right track.
you'll get run oner if you just
sit there." We honestly can say
that we are not just sitting
there!
Looking back on this past
year we can clearly sec our
progress made possible through
the e\cellcnt efforts or our fac-
ult, our energetic and talented
students, and the ongoing support ofa dedicated staff. In all
areas of our work -- teaching, research and service -- we have
made significant strides toward continued excellence.
Our primary mission is the education of our students.
Preparing them for their future, whether it is employment or filr-
ther education, is accomplished cxtraordinarilh well by our facul-
rt. \ie are doing a good job ofstabilizing our enrollment at the
undergraduate le\ el, and moving toward our goal of 25 percent
of the enrollment being in graduate programs.
We have set a record this year in external research increas-
ing our adartd bh 422 percent during 2004, by far the largest
increase on campus. We actually submitted about the same num-
her of proposals as we have in the past, but the success rate and
the award amount attest to the caliber of the research being coin-
ducted by our faculty Also, each department has played a signif-
icant role in thick increased research actii it,.
For a number of years, the College has operated the Univer-
sit) employee illnessss program, Li\ inrg W l. We are now the
contractor to deliver fitness ser ,ices to the re t~ ofl Oqk

"The Swan," "The Biggest Loser," and
my personal favorite, "E\srenrie

gave Performance an "extreme

our current students, such as tourism,
recreation and sport management junior
Ryan Lochtc, who won the Gold medal at
the Summer Olympics (page 22). Our
wonderful faculty and graduate students

"In order for the University of Florida to reach its
potential, we must find ways to do a better job sup-
porting our faculty."

guration ceremony took place and was
attended by Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, as
well as UF faculty, staff and administra-

During the ceremony, Machen was
welcomed by the faculty, students and
staff, as well as the UF Board of Trustees.
"This is the greatest opportunity of
my professioriial life and Chris [his wife]

Living Well Donates
Exercise Equipment
The Living Well Faculty and Staff
Fitness Center at the University of Florida
has donated a complete line of Nautilus
exercise equipment to the Sidney Lanier
School in Gainesville, a special needs


NEWS






school that serves children and young
adults ages 3-22.
Living Well Director Cassandra
Howard said after the recent renovation of
the fitness center, there was an abundance
of equipment that served the same func-
tions.
"The equipment could serve a greater
need for someone else," Howard said.
Living Well's donation of 14 pieces of
petite Nautilus equipment is valued at
$3,500, but those at Sidney Lanier feel
that the donation is worth much more.
Because of children's small stature, petite
equipment is the perfect size for teaching
children the proper technique for weight
training, Howard said.
The Sidney Lanier School teaches
mentally disabled students academic,
physical, social and vocational skills. The
school also runs the Anchor program,
which allows students whose family relo-
cates frequently to remain in the same
school. These students do not have to
worry about transferring schools every
time their family moves.
Dr. Christine Stopka, a professor in
the College of Health and Human Perfor-
mance, informed Howard that the Sidney
Lanier School was in need of some equip-
ment.
"Although we have a program at UF
that some of the Sidney students anend.
the donation of the equipment ensures that
everyone at Sidney including those who
are non-ambulatory, enrolled in the
Anchor program and even teachers will
have access to fitness equipment," Stopka
said. "This is one more step towards
iiilulling health values and memories that
will last a li tetn e "

Jimmy Morgan, a sport management
student who played in the classic, said
iolf is one of his favorite sports.
"I was happy I could help my pro-
gram raise money while participating in
something I love," Morgan said.
Sponsorship played a major role in
allowing this event to take place.
Bennett's summer class initiated the solic-
intion of sponsors. However, the fall
class finished this task and sealed the
deals.
Sara Klein, a sport management grad-
laie student, helped secure these sponsor-
ehips and also promoted the event to
entice golfers to participate.
"The creation of sponsorship propos-
ul, will prove to be beneficial [for my
career]," Klein said. "In the sports indus-
Irt. sponsorship plays a vital role in its
survival and success."
The local GEICO branch in
Gainesville was the title sponsor of the
eC ent. Their rfmolus spokesperson, the
Gecko, was present generating awareness
or the sponsorship and excitement among


the golfers. A sport management graduate
student, Dan Kasvolsky, became the
gecko for the day.
"I was able to become an interactive
part in the title sponsorship by GEICO,"
Kasvolsky said. "Creating and soliciting
sponsorship packages for companies gave

S ith plans to positively effect
individuals throughout Flori-
da, the United States and the
world, the.\ddict \e &
Health Behaviors Research Institute
(AHBRI) opened its doors in the fall of
2004 with sites at the University of Flori-
da campus in Gainesville and in Jack-
sonville, Fla. Dr. Chudley Werch of the
Department of Health Education and
Behavior in the College of Health and
Human Performance serves as founding
director.
"There are many benefits that will
come from the institute," Werch said. "We
will employ the best people available and
expose at-risk populations to educational
programs they wouldn't have access to
otherwise, creating long-lasting, positive
outcomes."
The mission of the AHBRI is "to
conduct national and international
research examining the etiology, preven-
tion and mitigation of addictive and relat-
ed health behaviors." The goal of AHBRI
is to gain national and international
prominence for conducting interdiscipli-
nary research in addictive and health pre-
vention, and intervention trials.
The work of the institute is consid-
ered necessary because addictive behav-
iors cause most of the nation's premature
and preventable morbidity, mortality and
injury. Contributing behaviors include
alcohol and alcoholism, drug use and
abuse, eating disorders, smoking and nico-
tine addiction, and other compulsive


behaviors such as gambling.
Research is focused on vulnerable
populations including children, adoles-
cents, minorities, low-income individuals,
elderly and other groups at high risk for
addictive health-compromising behaviors.
Current projects include: alcohol pre-
vention strategies for youth in primary
health care facilities; the reduction of
health and social problems related to high
potency alcoholic beverage consumption;
the prevention of drug abuse for youth
transitioning between high school and col-
lege; and the use of fit-
ness and positive
image for economical-
ly disadvantaged ado-
lescents.
The on-campus
site allows the institute
Werch access to external
grant proculemient,
awards notification, awards negotiation,
distribution of funds, human subjects
requirements, and the conduct of on-cam-
pus research involving university student
subject populations and systematic
reviews orf Iterature. The off-campus site
allows close contact to target populations
located within easily accessible field set-
tings including schools, health clinics,
hospitals and health departments.
Two programs previously developed
by Werch already are being used by the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services as model programs throughout
the nation and the world. Research con-
ducted by the AHIBRI will help develop
similar programs in the future, Werch
said.

the uni\ erstit caters only to
the lives of young adults. I ra\ el 2 miles
south of campus and the perception will
change quickly. UF recently expanded its
horizon to encompass a retirement corm-
munity.
Oak Hammock at the University of
Florida opened its gates and welcomed its
new members in the spring of 2004. To
ensure an active lifestyle, all community
members are granted with privileges simi-
lar to those of the UF fIi ilr- These bene-
fits include a Gator-1 card, access to
sporting and performing arts events,
libraries, research facilities, museums, and
most classes taught at the University.
The partnership between UF and Oak
Hammock integrates the expertise and
knowledge of professionals from various
departments into their programs. The


College of Health and Human
Performance was a vital resource in the
development of the 22,000-square foot fit-
ness facility, which offers two indoor,
heated pools, fitness and wellness classes,
state-of-the-art exercise equipment,
whirlpool, and physical therapy. Further,
all personnel in the fitness and wellness
progrnims are contracted through HHP.
Timm Lovins, director of fitness and
wellness pIolains at Oak Hammock,
believes that Oak Hammock is a perfect
place for graduate students to put the the-
ories and procedures learned in the class-
room into practice. Currently, 70 percent
of residents at Oak Hammock are signed
up to utilize the fitness center. Lovins said
the center's success lies in the members


themselves.
"The residents at Oak Hammock are
all professional people who have led very
successful lives," Lovins said. "In these
lives, they are accustomed to \ening goals

and achieving them. Once they are given
useful information regarding the benefits
of a fitness program to their quality of
life, they become very dedicated to
achieving those goals."
Lovins' other partners at HHP include
Dr. Doug De Michele, lecturer in the
Department of Touri in. Recreation and
Sport Management whose responsibilities
include the facilitE 's emergency action
plan and recruiting students for practicum
experience. Cher Harris, outreach educa-
tional progiuiiis coordinator, and Tracey
Ryan, provide nutritional advice. Harris
also selected the equipment for the fitness
facility and created the organizational plan
for the facility.
"The relationship between the Col-
lege and Oak Hammock is very benefi-
cial because the College of HHP faculty,
staff and students are experts within the
realms of health and exercise, and the Oak
Hammock staff are experts at providing
customized living and care to retirees,"
Harris said.

Weightlifting is Therapeutic for



the Faint of Heart


By Melanie De Jesus
Contributing Writer

S studies consistently have shown
thna resistance training leads to
manu health benefits, front an
increase in strength and a
decrease in body fat to improved balance
and pre mention or improvement of med-
ical conditions, such as diabetes and
osteoporosis. Nonetheless, when one
thinks of weightlifting, the image that
most often comes to mind is that of strong
and healthy young men, intent on improv-
ing their phy sical appearance. Resistance
training, however, is also powerfull nedi-
cine' for the weak and faint of heart.
In a three year study funded by the
American Heart Association, Universit)
of Florida researchers found resistance
exercise was beneficial to heart transplant
recipients.
Resistance exercise prevented osteo-
porosis. which is caused by anti-rejection
drugs in organ transplant recipients, said
Dr. Randy Braith, a professor of exercise
ph) siology in the College of Health and
Human Performance, with a joint appoint-
ment in .F's College of Medicine
Additionally, resistance exercise
reversed skeletal muscle my opathy, a
characteristic of heart failure patients
before transplantation.
"Part of the heart failure syndrome is
that skeletal muscle atrophies and much
of the remaining skeletal muscle becomes
essentially unusable," Braith said.
"Patients are left \sith a t pe of skele-
tal muscle that is easily fatigable and


prone to injury. However, we believe that
this chronic condition can be reversed."
Skeletal muscle is made up of three
distinctly different types of fibers or cells.
Type I fibers contain large numbers of
mnitochondria and the enzymes necessary
to produce energy aerobically.
Consequently, Type I muscle fibers
arc %cry fatigue resistant and contribute
greatly to a per-
son's overall tol-
erance for physi-
cal activity. Type
Ila and llx fibers
contain fewer
mitochondria and
aerobic enzymes.
These fibers
fatigue very easily) Dr. Randy Braith
and are used for brief anaerobic activity.
Heart failure patients iho arc candidates
for heart transplantation experience a
global decrease in the fatigue resistant
Type I fibers.
This shift in fatigue resistance occurs
in all patients in the final stages of organ
failure, and does not appear to he directly
linked to the decreased oxygenationi that
comes along w ith the reduced blood floi
that is characteristic of heal- failure
patients, Braith said.
To conduct the study, muscle biopsies
were performed on 15 heart transplant
recipients \ho were then divided into two
groups. Eight patients performed six
months of weight training while the other
seven patients were assigned to a control
group that onl performed walking exer-
cise. At the end of the stud., muscle


biopsy samples were once again taken
from stud) participants.
"All the weight training patients
demonstrated an increase in the fatigue
resistant Type I fibers. while the walking
control group did not experience this t) pe
of fiber shift," Braith uaid.
The increase in lype 1 fibers should
translate into higher energy leels in heart
transplant patients and a subsequent
increase in quality of life as activity levels
rise.
The study, which was conducted
between 2000 and 2003, has had an influ-
ence in the treatment of heart transplant
recipients.
"When I started mi line of research in
heart transplant recipients at the
University, of Florida 15 cars ago. little if
any exercise \as prescribed," Braith said.
"Nationall\ and internationally there is a
trend toward prescribing aerobic exercise.
Our work at UF has recei\ ed national and
international attention and resistance exer-
cise will become part o a comprehensive
rehuhilitution regimen for organ transplant
patients at many institutions."
At Shands Healthcare, resistance
training has been incorporated into post
transplant rehabilitation regimes.
NMort\mer. resistance training now is used
prior to transplantation as a wa\ of
preparing the patient for surgery.
"We like to think that our research has
played some part in that decision," Braith
said. "I know that transplant physicians
follow our research very closely."

In 2002, approval was granted from
the collegee of Health and Human Perfor-
mance to offer a class that would be prac-
tical in nature versus book oriented. Dr.
Gregg Bennett, a sport management pro-
fessor, started this course and titled it
Event Management, which was opened to
all UF undeigrJduute and graduate stu-
dents.
Bennett said this is an important class
for the sport management program, and it
is a requirement for accreditation among
North American Society for Sport Man-
agement (NASSM) institutions.
"The impetus for the course comes
from the notion that our students need rel-
evant experience working within the sport
industry to obtain jobs, and this course is
able to provide such experience," Bennett
said. "It also provides a fertile ground for
understanding the research enterprise."
In the spring of 2004, Bennett
approached the UAA with the idea to get
the students of this university involved in
game-day operations. This idea became a
reality in the fall of 2004.
Dan Kaslovsky, a sport management
graduate student, said the event manage-
ment class is the most beneficial class
offered at the UF.
"It has given me the opportunity and
experience with performing game-day
operations," Kaslovsky said. "This will
help me in my future endeavors, where 1
would like to pursue a career in collegiate
sports."
Prior to every home football game, the
event management class, which included
five graduate students and 12 undergradu-
ates, prepared for a few hours the day
before and arrived 3-4 hours prior to the
game to carry out their assigned responsi-
bilitices. This group of motivated students
were primarily in charge of the operations
for the 64 luxury suites and the 2,900 club
seats, which were both expanded and ren-


ovated in 2003. This class was dispersed
through the second floor (Bull Gators
.evel), fifth floor (Club Level), and the
sixth and seventh floors (Suite Levels).
The fruits of labor from this class pro-
vided the ultimate game experience for
the fans. The students cleaned each suite,
and straightened and wiped down each
chair individually. The lights and rest-
rooms are inspected for cleanliness and to
ensure everything was operating properly.
The students stock the counters, iefliie:ra-
tors and tables with a sufficient amount of
food, beverages, condiments and supplies
that were needed throughout the duration
of the game. Once each suite passed
inspection, the group distributed 10 player
roster cards and four programs on the
counter tops of each suite.
Sara Klein, a sport niinageitentl grad-
uate student, said a lot of hard work was


involved in putting on a fooltall _aime

under the yet-to-be-added 2004 heading.
Lochte has not let his Olympic fame
spoil him, despite the fanfare upon his
return when his hometown of Port
Orange, Fla., welcomed him home by
declaring Aug. 28, 2004 as Ryan Lochte
Day. Where other young men miidit get
carried away with the attention, Lochte
remains grounded said Robert Pugh,
sports information director of men's
swimming and diving.
"IIe just shrugs it off," Pugh said.
Lochte also appears unfazed by the
fact that there are at least three fan-sites
dedicated to him, and a growing group of
followers who increasingly try to contact
him.
"A random person just made me a
Web site and everyone goes to it and I get
fan mail," Lochte said. "I'm starting to get
four to five letters a day. I write them all
back and send them autographs."
Letters are not all he has been receiv-
ing.
"As a matter of fact a couple of fans
sent me some pictures ofthlemsel es," he
pauses and sinks deeper into his chair,
blushing before adding: "All of them say
stuff like 'Oh I love you. I want to come
see you. I'm your number one fan.' And
It's fine. I get a kick out of it."
Lochte needs all the amusement he
can get. Becoming a swimming champion
is no small or easy feat, and with training
for UF, the NCAA Championships and the
World Championship trials, this particular
swimmer has a lot on his plate.
Lochte's training usually begins in
the early morning when he and his team-
mates meet for their first round of ground


JIM BURGESS/UF SPORTS INFORMATION


training, consisting of exercises such as
stadium stompers and weighlt'. In the
afternoon the team meets in the pool for
in-water practice sessions, which may or
may not include additional ground train-
ing.
The training is paying off, however,
since Lochte won gold and silver medals
in the 800 meter freestyle relay and the
200 meter individual medley at the FINA
World Short Course Championships in
Indianapolis, Ind., in Oct. 2004.
When he's not busy training, Lochte
must attend classes like every other regis-
tered Florida Gator. Like most college stu-
dents, Lochte danced around for a while
bebil e settling on a major.
"The classes I was taking were for
sociology, but the same classes (General
Education) could be used for [a degree in
the tourism, recreation and sport manage-


ment program], and I want to do some-
thing with sports so I just switched over."
Now, Lochte is Inlerally dancing his
way toward his degree, as he enrolled in
an elective social dance class at UF. lHe
smiled as he talked about the class.
"We first learned Fox Trot and then
Waltz and now we're learning the
Rumba," he said. "Actually we just fin-
ished Rumba. I'm really good," he added
immodestly.
He was able to apply the skills
learned in class to the real world, when he
joined the other U.S. Olympian swimmers
in New York on Nov. 15 for the first
Golden Goggles awards.
"It's actually pretty good because in
November, we had to go to New York, all
the Olympians for this Golden Goggle
Award, and it was reaIl%] nice, where you
wore a tux and everything."
The black-tie fiund-raising event host-
ed by the U.S. Swimming Foundation cel-
ebrated U.S. swimmer's 2004 accomplish-
ments, and organizers hope the award will
soon become prestigious. Lochte was
nominated for Breakout Performer of the
Year and Relay Performance of the Year,
but did not take home the Golden Goggle.
Despite his athletic achievements
Lochte is still uncertain where life outside
the pool will take him.
"I have no idea. I hones.llt don't
know. I'll have to figure -simeihing out."
His eye, however, is ultimately poised
on the 2008 Olympics.

nee a Near, people across the
Globe are united in the great
cit ci confines of New York to
participate in the New York City
Marathon. People of all ages and athlet-
ii ability) run the 26.2 mile course.
S which stretches across NYC's five bor-
oughs: Manhattan. Bronx. Queens,
Brooklyn and Staten Island.
John TenBroeck. 63. was one of
35.000 marathon runners competing in
the race on Nov. 7, 2001.
With more tlan two million specta-
tors lining the course. TeiBroeck (BSPE
'67) crossed the finish line in 5:36.33,
which landed him in 305th place for his
age group.
"This year I took a spill in Queens
and cracked a rib but was able to keep
going." TenBroeck said. "Then at mile
21, 1 had a nasty hamstring cramp that
forced me to walk the last 5 miles. 1
determined that if I was going to walk,
no other walkers would pass me and
They didn't. I even passed a good num-
Sber of shuffling joggers and beat my
time from last year."
TenBroeck has thoroughly enjoyed
being a part of the New York City
Marathon experience.
S "There were fi\e years 1 traveled up
north for the race even though I could
not run," TenBroeck said. "I continue
the NYC Marathon because I enjoy
NYC. the race. the spectators, the thou-


sands of volunteers, and the great pedes-
trian trip through parts of all five bor-
oughs."
His best performance came in 1985
when he finished the course in 3:15.02.
Motivation and dedication are two
important drit ing factors in his continu-
ous participation in this event.
"One motivation factor is my 18-
year participation as a course marshal on
the day before the marathon at the
International Friendship Run,"'
TenBroeck said.
Approximately 8,000 international
athletes gather at the United Nations for
a brief program along with the presenta-
tion of the Adebe
Bikila Award.
Afterward, they
run to the Tavern
on the Green for
break fast.
"I would love
to participate in the
NYC Marathon
next year," TenBroeck said. have been
lucky enough to enter through the lottery
the last three years. Once I have 15

keep entering as long as I am able to
xwalk or run reasonably well and to trav-

"Through my service, I was able to
make contacts and was offered business
cards by main\ of the successful alumni
and their guests. This may aid me in my
goal of attaining a career in sports man-
agement," Johnson said.
Bmenill't' new project has benefited
both the students and the UAA. Bryan
Flood, coordinator of operations and
Facilities for the UAA, found this pro-
gram to be beneticnal to the Gators organ-
ization.
"It is definitely a program that we
want to continue next year," said Flood,
who has a master's degree in sport man-
agement from the college. "The help of
the students is great because it helps us
cover a large amount of space and be
more available to cater to the customers.
This allows the UAA to provide a higher
level of customer service. The students
have the opportunity to observe and pre-
pare for big games allowing a great
hands-on experience."

George McCrossin, that my goal was to
be the head coach at Florida when the

"Hle got his cap in 1977."
Chafin maintained the coaching posi-

years of coaching at the collegiate level.
After retiring from coaching, Chafm con-

program from 1964-78. In that stretch,
his teams captured a pair of NCAA team
championships.
A native of Gainesville, Bishop grjd-
uated from Gaincsville High School in
1939 and earned both his bachelor's and
master's degrees in physical education

William "Bill" Harlan


// illiam "Bill" E. Harlan,
alumnus and professor
/ emeritus of the College
of Health & Human Performance at the
I university of Florida, died Aug. 17, 2004
1ii his Gainesville home. He was 83.
Harlan was named one of HHP's
Distillgislied Alumni in 1998 after a stel-
I r career that included serving as a pro-
lessor for many years in the College, and
as the head coach of UF's swimming and
diving team.
Harlan was born in Asheville, N.C.,
but grew up in Gainesville. When he was
five years old, Harlan was the mascot for
the 1927 baseball team. A year later,
Harlan was the mascot for the football
team when the Gators outscored oppo-
nents 336-44 during the 8-1 season.
Following his graduation from
Gainesville High School, Harlan enrolled
at Florida in 1941. Harlan was an accom-
plished boxer in intramural athletics at UF


TC AM


as he won the title in the welterweight
division. On Dec. 3, 1941, Harlan left
school to join the Aviation Cadet Program
and served in World War II. He returned
to UF in 1946 and planned to fight for the
UF boxing team, but the program was dis-
solved so he turned his attention to diving.
I larlan joined the diving team and lettered
in the sport in 1947 and 1948.
"Being named captain of the 1948
swim team is probably my dearest memo-
ry as an athlete," Harlan once said. "It has
meant a lot to me over the years. Also
winning the w\elter, eight title in intramu-
rals meant a lot because it taught me how
to be a boxer."
Harlan graduated from the College in
1948 with a bachelor's degree in physical
education and later completed his master's
dcgirc in education in 1949.
Harlan joined the UF swim program
in 1959 as an assistant coach under head
coach Buddy Crone. In 1963, Harlan took

swimming programs and clinics around
Gainesville.
"I think he taught half of Gainies ille
how to swim," said friend and former
Gators tennis coach M.B. Chafin.
Harlan retired from the swim pro-
gram in 1976 and continued as a professor
in the physical education department. He
retired as professor emeritus in 1987.

College. I come to UF i% ith more than eight years of experience in development
and fund raising. During my career, I have worked with both social and health
service agencies and most recently within the college-uni ersit setting

In 2003-04, the College received its first endowed professorship from the
University Athletic Association. The benefits of an endowed professorslhip are
cndlc,-. Public university professors in the state of Florida are among the lot cst
paid in the nation. By increasing the number of endowed professorships offered.
uliimaicly the College is able to attract and retain the best professors in the
nation.

With this accomplishment, the College is on the right track for the upcoming
Selorts initiated by UF President Bernie Machen. President Machen has launch hed
the University of Florida Facultt Challenge, an initiative to raise $150 million in
private support to ii'e faculty the tools the\ need to enhance classroom iisinic-
S'tlion and conduct world-class research. Each college has their own initially e to
meet ihji goal.

As we move toward the future, we must be reminded that the University of
Florida is truly a special place. It provides all the necessary resources to produce
.. 1the best atudcnts and ambassadors for communities, the nation and the Xorld.

.. hle next few pages you will find the names of alumni, friends, corporations
i faculty and staff nlmmbers who have supported the College with a gill Iromn
cC.C. 2003 through Nov. 30, 2004. You, our alums, friends and fantilh. are % h\
S Colklge continues to be successfiUl. The College expresses our apprcciation
