typically exceeding 50 students), we can't

quality. In addition, about half of the


D EAR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS,
Here is something you may not realize.
The University of Florida is technically a
state-assisted rather than a state-sup-
ported institution. That is, less than 17%
of our College budget comes d directly
from State of Florida tax dollars. The
remaining 83% is generated by student
tuition and fees, or comes from non-State
sources including contract and grants,
sponsored research, support services, and
donations from alumni and friends like
you. (sEE FIGUKE 1.)











T9ION NONSIRRi T
FIGURE 1.


OUR DILEMMA. It seems clear that state
ippropri.ticn-. for higher education will
continue to decline, or at best remain
stable, as tax dollars are shifted by the
Legislature to support prisons and social
services. Also, because we teach twice
the number of students per faculty as we
did 10 years ago (with class sizes now

non-State portion of our budget, the
contract and grants piece of the pie (SEE
FIGLRE 2.), comes from activity fees that
support campuswide recreational sports
activities. These funds employ some of
our students, but they cannot be used
further to promote the broader mission of
the College


OUR GROWTH POTENTIAL. This leaves only
14% of our budget sponsored
research (8%), support services (2%),
alumni and friends (4%) that has real
growth potential.

A decade ago, such non-State funds were
virtually nil. We had few research grants.
Our revenue producing support services
(currently the Faculty/Staff Wellness
Center and a summer tennis camp) were
in their infancy. And we received little
financial support from alumni and
friends. However, over the past decade,
we have made steady progress in
expanding these portions of our budget.
But we have to do even better.

OUR CIIALLNGE. We must, and we will,
become more entrepreneurial. To assist in
this effort, we are establishing a College


Advisory Council consisting of promi-
nent civic, professional, corporate, and
alumni leaders who have strong interests
in the work of the College (S-F. PAGE 4).
This Council will:
Advise the dean on program-
matic concerns, funding
IWIl & opportunities, and other matters
S that will advance the mission of
the College, heighten awareness
of the College's accomplish-
ments and needs by serving as
advocates with key political,
corporate, and alumni figures,
IV provide input regarding public
relations needs, assist the
College in building a solid base
of financial support by
ii, !ii'tini., gift prospects,
helping to contact and solicit these pros-
pects, and supporting the College with
personal gift commitments.

Moreover, we have great products to
market improving health, enhancing
human performance, and promoting the
values of leisure. Our faculty, students,
and facilities are second to none. And, we
have over 6000 living alumni, as well as
many friends, from whom we must ask
assistance.

OUR WATERSHED. This year marks the 50th
Anniversary of the College, (SEE PAGE 18).
It also represents a critical point in our
history as we quickly must learn to rely
less on tax dollars and far more on our
own resources.

Please read on in Performance about
current and future prospects for the
College, then consider what a University
of Florida degree has meant to you.

I believe you will agree that the College
of Health and Human Performance,
your College, is worth your strong
support in meeting the challenge of our
changing times.

EKING TO SOLIDIFY our position as a
world-class leader, the College of Health and
Human Performance has established an advi-
sory council. The mission of our College Advi-
sory Council is to facilitate communication, fos-
ter cooperative ventures, assess programs and
pro r. rt-. and encourage the exchange of intel-
lectual and human resources between private
enterprise and the College.
Dean Patrick Bird has been highly successful in
recruiting prominent civic, professional, and
corporate leaders who have a strong interest in
the work of the College. "We are extremely ex-
cited about this new Council and its members.
Not just because of who they are, but their strong
interest in the College and their willingness to
give of their tune and expertise to ensure that
we continue to perform at our highest level,"
stated Bird.
We are pleased to present the College of Health and
Human Perfornmance Advisory Council:

Preformance that Counts

EA.N PAT BIRD RECENTL'r
announced that the University of
Florida Foundation's Board of Di-
rectors approved a second major capital
camp.agn, called It's Performance That
Counts. The University goal is to raise $500
million. Following the Board's approval
last fall, President John V. Lombardi said:
Thi.' University of Florida launches this capi-
tal campaign with a record of achievement, a
plan for the future, and a commitment to per-
formance that translates resources into accom-
plishment. We begin with a clear focus on the
Universities' missions of research, teaching and
service. I\c'i p ,c,, th n evaluation and mea-
surement permit the identification and im-
provement of performance. We know that com-
petition requires clear choices, and we empha-
size the performance that delivers quality."
The College of Health and Human Perfor-
mance goal within the campaign is to raise
$2.1 million. This figure was established
following analysis of the needs and oppor-
tunities of the College along with the giv-
ing history and giving potential of the Col-
lege alumni.
Speciiiial]h. we plan to add three profes-
sorships and three fellowships/scholar-
ships through an endowment of $150,000
each. We will also seek four gifts of
$150,000 to name four of our labs and a gift
of $400,000 in computer hardware to equip
our newly renovated anatomy and physi-
ology teaching laboratories. In addition, we
will add emphasis to our annual giving
program to bring in $200,000 in gifts.
As this goal is achieved, your college will
be able to enhance its competitive edge-
both nationally and internationally. This
will include expanding programs in clini-
cal exercise phI siologk health promotion
and aging, and tourism research and de-
velopment. It will also mean a greater in-
vestment in professorships, scholarships,
and laboratories-all of which will im-
prove the quality of our degree programs.
The Dean is very enthusiastic about the
promise of this campaign. As he points out,
"The first University capital campaign,
completed five years ago, resulted in
$1,450,000 in gifts to the College. These
funds contributed greatly to the advance-
ment of our mission. We now return to
alumni and friends and ask their assistance
in this new campaign that will enable us
to continue our progress and to show that
in the College of Health and Human Per-
formance indeed It's Performance That
Counts." .

Good Gifts versus Better Gifts


GIFT TO A FAMILY member
is a gift. But, are all gifts equal?
ie answer is emphatically NO.
Especially where an estate gift to family
members is concerned. Consider the case
of widower, Doug Jones, who has an
estate of $800,000. He plans to leave
5600.000, the amount he can pass estate
tax free (because of the unified credit for
gift and estate tax) to his children, Mary
and Tom. Two hundred thousand dollars
will go to his favorite charity, t:l College
of Health and Human Performance (of
course) at the University of Florida.

Doug feels good about this division of
assets, because his estate will not be
subject to any estate tax. He also
believes the division of assets will be
easy to do. He has a home valued at
$200,000, appreciated securities of
l$ nl),00,00 owned outright, -25 000 in
personal tangible prLopertk, and an I.R.A.
with $200,000 in assets.

Knowing that Mary and Tom both own
their own home and that neither of them
want to live in his home, Doug reasons
that he will gift his home to HHP. And,
will give the commercial property, the
securities, personal tan gible property,
and the IR.A. to his children. The charity
can deal with the problems of listing the
property showing the property, paying
the commission on the sale if a broker is
used, and losing on the sale. The children
will get the more liquid assets and the
commercial property that is rented.

It sounds as though Doug's plan is a
good one and one well though r through.
Imagine Doug's surprise when his


attorney says, "Doug, do you really want
your children pi\ intg un-necessary taie'?"

Doug's response was, "What do you
mean? My estate will pay no estate tax."
Doug's attorney quickly explained that
he was correct about not paying any
estate tax. But by leaving Mary and Tom
the I.R.A. assets he was saddling them
with income tax payments on all
amounts the receii ed from the I.R.A.
His attorney explained that since the
I.R.A. had been funded with pre-tax
dollars (as is done with most qualified
retirement programs 40..i3 t Keough,
etc.) the monies distributed from it is
considered to be income in respect of a
descent (I.R.D.). Doug quickly realized
the children would pay at least 28%
income tax on the monies they would
receive, and the added income might
even force them into a 31% or 36%
marginal income tax bracket.

Doug's attorney suggested that rather
than passing the "bad asset for his
children," the I.R.A., that maybe he
should consider giving the I.R.A. to HHP.
As a gift to the College, it would not be
subject to I.R.D. or estate taxes. In the
hands of the charity, the I.R.A. would
become a "good asset".

In its place, Doug should gift his home to
the children. The attorney explained the
home as a "good asset for his children,"
in that they got a stepped-up basis in the
home (meaning it would be valued at fair
market value as of the date of death). The
children would incur capital gains tax
only if the house appreciated in value


between his death and the time they
sold it.

Doug realized his goals were being
accomplished and his children would
receive much more benefit by exchang-
ing the "good asset" to a "better asset"
for the children. This situation becomes
even more significant if Doug's estate
had been large enough to be subject to
estate tax. In an estate of more than
$3,000,000, the gift of the I.R.A. to the
children would have resulted in a .
estate tax rate and the appropriate
income tax rate being charged against the
"bad asset". Even more devastating, in
some cases the qualified retirement
program can be over-funded and is
subjected to an additional excise tax of
15%. Clearly, in such an instance, little
benefit is enjoyed by the decedent's heirs.

I.R.D, assets may include assets in

ISEASE is a major health
roblce n the United States and much
o the \'rld. In fact, approximately 43
percent of all the deaths that occur in
the U.S. are from cardiovascular dis-
ease. Damage to the heart muscle from
a "heart attack" can result in a severe
reduction in an individual's work ca-
pacity or even death. Therefore, find-
ing a means of reducing the amount
of damage to the heart resulting from
a heart attack is important. A new re-
search project is underway in the De-
partment of Exercise and Sport Sci-
ences to evaluate the role of endurance
exercise in promoting heart antioxi-
dant enzymes that could reduce the
amount of tissue injury to the heart
muscle resulting from a heart attack.

The specific objectives of this research
are to test the hypothesis that exercise
training-induced increases in myocar-
dial superoxide dismutase activity (i.e.
antioxidant enzyme) will reduce the
incidence of ischemia-reperfusion-in-
duced ventricular arrhythmias in the
rat heart and also reduce myocardial
damage following a heart attack. Im-
provement in the heart's ability to
withstand the insult of a heart attack
would have obvious benefits to those
patients at high risk for heart disease.
The results of this research could pro-
vide useful clinical information that
can be used in the management of pa-
tients with various types of cardiovas-
cular diseases.

Dr. Scott Powers, professor in Exercise
and Sport Sciences and Co-Director of
the Center for Exercise Science is the
faculty mentor to Haydar Demirel a
Ph.D. student in Health and Human
Performance in the exercise physiol-
ogy track. Demirel is the principal in-
vestigator on the antioxidant enzymes
study. Other ESS graduate students
involved with this project are Jeff
Coombes and Louise Fletcher. '


Tai ChiChuan


HE RESULTS ARE IN on Dr. Wei "Bill" Chen's research on the
healteffects of Tai Chi Chuan on older Americans. We first introduced Dr.
Chen's hypothesis in the Spring 44 issue of Performance. The theory being
that Tai C hi Chuan. a popular form oi exercise in China, is good lor both
prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, especially for older adults.
Although tlus form ot exercise has been around for over 500 years, there has
been little scientutic investigation of the effects on the health of older adults.
Aging Americans have a higher incidence of degenerative disease which
adds to the burden of our health care system, and ultimately impacts our
socioeconomic system.

Thirty-,ix men and women age 50 or older participated in the study. They
were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (E) or a control
group (C). Subjectsin the E group received 32 one-hour sessions of Tai Chi
Chuan instruction i 16 weeks. Each session consisted of warm up exercise, a
review of Tai Chi movements taught in the pre\ ious sessions, demonstration
and practice of atew movement, group practice and individual instruction
concluding with an assignment for home practice All subjects were tested
one w eek prior to training and after the training phase Subjects in the E
group were tested again nine months after completing the training. During
the follow-up phase subjects in the C group received Tai Chi Chuan instruc-
tion. health effects were measured by heart rate, blood pressure, muscle
tension, skin temperature, flexibility, and Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale
ITMAS), alnd state anxiety inventory (SAI). Results of analysis of co-variance
indicated subjects in the E group had a greater improvement in muscle
tension and flexibility than subjects in the C group. In addition to retaining
improved muscle tension and flexibility, subjects in the E group also showed d
signiticant improvements in blood pressure, skin temperature, TMAS and
SAI anxiety scores at the follow-up session These results support the theory
of beneficial health effects which result from practicing Tai Chi Chuan
These benefits result from reducing muscle tension and improving flexibil-
ity, which could be a significant benefit in preventing accidents due to falls
and imbalance.

/ ALTHOUGH MANY
consider children's stories
S' to be for kids only, a Recre-
ation, Parks and Tourism researcher
finds reading these books to the
elderly stimulates their memory,
alleviates their anxieties and helps
them cope with death and dying.

Bihliotherapy the use of reading,
listening or writing as therapy for
illness and disability is extremely
effective at improving the quality of
life of our elderly population, says
Robert Beland, associate professor of
therapeutic recreation. "Children's
literature written in the past 15 years
depicts older adults in a very positive
light" reports Beland. "While tradi-
tional fairy tales have been criticized
for showing ageism, port acting the
elderly in negative ways, newer
books show grandparents as modern
day heroes."

Current children's literature
contains valuable lessons. inspira-
tion and poignant messages about
love, grief and feelings of loss. These
books show the elderly as indepen-
dent and competent individuals who
still contribute to their families and
society. "Because elderly people want
to feel useful and needed, these
stories do something very important
by providing positive role models,"
Beland said.

M ost people don't realize that the
elderly also benefit from, and enjoy
being read to, just like children, he
said. Older people share certain
characteristics with young children,
such as shorter attention spans due
to memory loss and appreciation of
easy to understand themes.
Children's books are ideal because
the message is simple and the
pictures are colorful and attractive.



'ormancr,


M ore than 33 million people are over age 65 in this country, with 2.5
million living in Florida. Treatment such as bibliotherapy can help this
significant segment of our population. "It's not that we feel legitimate medi-
cal treatments aren't an effective means of healing, it's just that bibliotherapy
is a very cost-effective, safe way to help people in ways medicine can't." Pat
Landis, a licensed marriage and family therapist with Ventura Day Hospital
in Gainesville, considers the program an effective way to begin discussions
with her elderly patients. "After listening to Dr. Beland read the stories, the
patients were more open to discussing aspects of the aging process, such as
relating to their grandchildren," Landis said. "The stories showed our
patients the positive side about growing older in a simple yet effective way."

Some of the books Beland has found to be successful in encouraging
discussion include, Our Granny (by M. Mahey) which shows an older
woman in strong active roles; Now One Foot, Now the Other (by T. dePaola)
handles a sensitive issue as the young boy teaches his grandfather to walk
again following a stroke. Of all the books, Beland reports that Love you
Forever by (R. Munsch) is his favorite regardless of age, you simply can't help
but smile when you hear it.

Scholarship Convocation & Tribute


fnniD l Sciaolaship CnvQocd-

lion is d Tribute o te: Past and

Future of 1h College

THE ANNUAL College Scholarship
Convocation was held Friday, January
26, in the Gator Room; over $l000.00
in scholarship funds were distributed
to undergraduate and graduate stu-
dent majors. In the past ten years we
have seen a steady growth in the num-
ber of scholarships and the amount of
each award. These awards are made
possible by alumni and friends dona-
tions, and/or direct contributions by
the individuals and families of those
for whom these awards are named.

This year's convocation speaker Dr. Jill
Varnes (BS'73; MA'74), Assistant Dean,
provided a history of the College in-
cluding background on those whose
names honor the scholarship awards.
This year's recipients and background
on the scholarships are as follows:

The SURGEON CHERRY scholarship
was established by friends and former
students of Mr. Cherry, one of the
College's original faculty members
and the Chairman of the Department
of Intramurals and Recreation. The
Cherry Award is given annually to a
student nominated by the faculty. Stu-
dents from the 1995 senior class were
eligible for nomination this year's
Cherry Award recipient, Teri Lynn
Howell, received her BS degree in ex-
ercise and sport sciences with an em-
phasis in physical education and ath-
letic training. Teri is currently enrolled
in the master's program emphasizing
athletic training. She is NATA certified
and is the head athletic trainer at the
P.K. Yonge Developmental Research
School. While an undergraduate she
was active in intramural softball and
volleyball.
H.W. SCHNELL was one of the origi-
nal faculty members when the College
was established in 1946. In 1949 Mr.
Schnell became the Head of the De-
partment of Physical Education for


Men; a position he held until his death
in 1958. The Schnell scholarship is
given to a student who demonstrates
scholarship, leadership and skill in
plh\ icnal activities. This year's Schnell
recipient is Douglas A. Zerbarini. Doug
is an Exercise and Sport Science major
who is an avid cyclist, who also enjoys
Karate, skydiving, and travel. His
work ethic, strong interest in service


and is currently employed by the Liv-
ing Well employee wellness program.

The second B.K. Stevens award is open
to any major in the College who dem-
onstrates academic success, and a de-
sire to be of service to others. This
year's recipient is Ronald W. Hall. Ron
is a major in Recreation, Parks and
Tourism with an emphasis in Pulic and

!lfA0L so a/a.


MRONT, L TO K CYRENA ADAMS, TERI LYNN HOWEL, MATTHEW P R Y, MARY PLUNKETT, MICHELE MOORE, PAULA MART
lBAc, L To R DOUG ZERBARINI, RON HALL, MIKE DEITZ, LISA TEPPER, SHANE FREUCH, CHRIS JANNELLE


to others and his success in the class-
room make Doug a most worthy re-
cipient of the Herman W. Schnell
Scholarship.

MR. B.. STEVENS was a member of
the original faculty and received his
teaching degree from the University of
Florida. He taught high school social
studies and was a coach at Santa Rosa
High School in Milton, Florida; and
later at P.K. Yonge Developmental Re-
search School. He was a faculty mem-
ber in the Professional Curriculum un-
til he retired in 1976. Mr. Stevens and
his wife Betty have maintained an ac-
tive interest in the College and continue
to find ways to support students to en-
able them to obtain their degree. This
year's B.K. Stevens award for an Exer-
cise and Sport Science major goes to
A Itlu,.i' C. Perry. Matt is a Palm Beach
Community College transfer student
beginning his second semester in the
College. Upon completion of his BS
degree, he plans to attend either medi-
cal school or graduate school in exer-
cise physiology. He is certified by the
American College of Sports Medicine


Community Recreation. As a hus-
band, father, student and employee,
Ron works hard to balance his many
roles and he does so with (seeming)
ease. In a letter of nomination Ron is
described as having "one of the best
work ethics that I have witnessed... 1
think his dedication to whatever he
commits to...is a result of his love of
his profession, time management
skills, and his ability to conceptLualize
a plan and follow through."

DR. C.A. BOYD joined the faculty in
the Professional Curriculum program
in >'I5U becoming Dean in 1970. Boyd
retired as Dean Emeritus about ten
years ago. Dean Boyd's dry New En-
gland humor and unmistakable accent
were characteristics that made him
unique in the Gainesville community
He was an avid golfer and the under-
graduate scholarship that bears his
name includes a love of the game as
one of the criteria for selection. Each
year Dean Boyd's widow, Joscelyn T.
Boyd McCourtney and son Toby Boyd
attend the convocation to personally
present the Boyd scholarships.

,FO A G5 E 9)^^^^^


Toby presented this year's recipient
of the undergraduate award, Cyrena
Adams, a major in Exercise and Sport
Sciences with an emphasis in Sports
Management. Cyrena exemplifies
through her academic success and
her golf success the qualities that
made her an easy selection for the
Boyd Undergraduate Scholarship.
Mrs. McCourtney presented the
graduate scholarship to Christopher
J.~ineli. PhD candidate in Health and
Human Performance with an empha-
sis in motor behavior. Chris' goal is to
continue to develop his skills as an ef-
fective university professor and re-
searcher. One nominator noted, "hav-
ing known Dean Boyd, I can't help but
think that he would have been pleased
to have Mr. Jannelle as the recipient of
his scholarship."

DR. NORMA M. LEAVTT was on the
faculty of the College for 28 years prior
to her retirement in 1981. She first came
to Gainesville in 1953 to chair the De-
partment of Required Physical Educa-
tion for Women, a position she held
until 1962 when she changed to the
Department of Professional Curricu-
lum. Dr. Leavitt was a master teacher
who accepted nothing but the best one
had to give. She was notorious for her
red pen, no assignment was ever as
good as Dr.Leavitt thought it should
be. Her goal was to create highly com-
petent professionals, and she was very
good at what she did. The Leavitt
scholarship is given to a student in
Exercise and Sport Sciences who is pre-
paring to teach physical education,
with preference given to female stu-
dents. Our selection this year is Chris-
tine Coop;'r Hochman. The ESS faculty
and the faculty of North Marion
Middle School where Christine com-
pleted her internship describe her as
one who was "born to teach".

The LEE-MCCACHREN SCHOLARSHIP
was established as a tribute to two out-
standing teachers, P.A. Lee and Jim
McCachren. Those that knew these
two will understand why the scholar-
ship must be dual in name. PA and Jim
Mac, as they were called, had a deep
friendship for each other. Where one
went the other tagged along for moral


support or just as company. Today a
plaque adorns the handball/racket
ball courts on University Avenue, in
earlier years known as Murphree
Courts today as the Lee-Mccachren
Courts. This award, given to a gradu-
ate student who is teaching in the Sport
Fitness program, is by faculty ilomin a-
tion. Mr. Shane Frehlich is this year's
awardee. Shane is a gifted instructor
who exemplifies the spirit of PA Lee
and Jim McCachren. Shane received
his BA degree in Psychology from the
University of Calgary. He is a doctoral
student in the area of motor behavior.

The JAMES DANIEL EGGART Memo-
rial Scholarship was established by
Mr. Eggart's widow in accordance with
his request. Danny was a 1965 gradu-
ate of the College from the Pensacola
area. His wish was to assist students
from the Escambia county area to at-
tend the University of Florida and
complete a major in the College of
Health and Human Performance. This
year's recipient of the Eggart Award
is Lisa Dawn Tepper. Lisa is a Recreation,
Parks and Tourism major with an em-
phasis in Therapeutic Recreation. In
addition to countless hours of volun-
teer work, and active involvement in
LEAPS, Leisure Education and Parks
Students, she has held offices in her
sorority, Alpha Epsilon Phi, been a
homecoming staff member, and last
year was inducted into the Golden Key
National Honor Society.

CHARLES W. FESSLER received his BSR
in 1968 and his master's degree in 1969.
He was actively involved in the intra-
mural sports program. When asked
about Mr. Fessler, those that knew him
as a student said, "Chuck was one of
those people who was never content
to just do what was asked. He did what
was needed and was always looking
for more. He was a person who made
things happen. Creative and energetic;
he barely was finished with one project
before he was starting the next! The
Fessler award initiated in 1994 for ma-
jors in the Department of Recreation,
Parks and Tourism who have had ac-
tive involvement in the Recreational
Sports program and demonstrated
leadership potential. This year's recipi-


ent is Michael Dietz. Michael is a senior
whose emphasis area is Recreation
Program Delivery. \X while at UF Mike
has been a member of the Gator Foot-
ball Team and the Lacrosse Club, and
he played intramural softball. To
quote, "His perseverance in every-
thing lie has done, whether it be sports,
clubs or school, is an inspiration to
those around him."

This year the College was able to pro-
vide special graduate student scholar-
ships. These special DEAN'S SCHOL-
ARSHIPS were made possible through
non specific scholarship donations that
have been contributed to the College
over the past several years. The three
awardees are Paula Hart from the De-
partment of Recreation, Parks and
Tourism, Michelle Moore from the De-
partment of Health Science Education,
and Mary Plunkett from the Depart-
ment of Exercise and Sport Sciences.

Paula Hart received her undergradu-
ate degree in Youth Ministry from Bap-
tist Bible College in Springfield, MO.
As a graduate student, she is pursu-
ing a master's in the Therapeutic Rec-
reation program, and serves as a
graduate assistant academic advisor.
She enjoys cycling, tennis, and is an
avid reader.

Michele Moore received her BS degree
in p..chIolog y and a masters degree in
health science education from UF She
is currently a Health and Human Per-
formance doctoral candidate in the
Health Behavior emphasis. In 1995
Michele was recognized by the depart-
ment as Graduate Student of the Year;
and she has demonstrated her profes-
sionalism by completing the national
certification process to become a Certi-
fied Health Education Specialist.

Mary Plunkett completed her BS degree
in Zoology and is a masters student
emphasizing exercise physiology. She
has an assistantship with the Living
Well program and is currently prepar-
ing to complete ASCM certification as
an Exercise Test Technologist. Mary in-
tends to begin her doctoral studies in
the summer of this year.

Alumn POTLIGHIT

' CK IN IN I I i 0.b when Bill Sims was a gung-ho Gator one of his favorite
get-out-of-Gainesville trips was heading down to Ocala with a aruload of
fraternity brothers tor a day at Silver Spnngs. Now, some 30 years after
completing his DS degree in Recreation the only days he doesn't spend at
Silver Springs as chairman and chief executive officer are those he devotes to
promoting tourism around the world as chairman of the Florida Tourism
Commission

"E een as a college freshman, I would sit in class and listen to my professors
talk about how future lifestyles would change. By the time I graduated from
the University of Florida ..I saw more and more people coming to Florida
with more and more discretionary dollars to spend, and I wanted to help
them spend it," quips Sims. the Chief Executive Officer of Florida Lei;ure
Acquisition Corporation, which includes Silver Springs, Weeki Wachee
Springs. Wild Waters and Buccaneer Bay water parks.

To accomplish his goal, SLms a fortunate to gel some help from marketing
genius Dick Pope of Cypre;; Gardens. Pope was impressed with Bill Sim's
achievements which included building Winter Haven s first public swim-
ming pool and the enhancement of many local conununity recreational
facilities. Pope offered him a job as operations manager at Cypress Gardens.

"I was flattered, of course, but I quickly explained that [ knew nothing about
tourism," remembers Sims. who now probably knows more about the
subject than anyone in Florida. "Mr. Pope laughed and said he'd teach me all
I needed to know before sundown." By the mid-1980. Sims was executive
vice president overseeing ; divisions with supervisory responsibillie. loi
1400 stall members.

In the late 1980s Sims accepted an offer with Space Camp at Huntsvilie.
Alabama. The Space Camp i'ad doing $16 million in annual -ales when he
arrived. In 1491, when Sims lett to buy bito Florida Leisure Attractions, the
sales at Space Camp had reached 1.30 million. By 1993, he was both chief
executi ve officer and chairman of the board of Florida Leisure Attractions.

In 1992, Governor Lawton Chiles horned the Florida Tourism Comminsion
and appointed Sims as a charter member of the 17-member group charged
with overseeing the state's Division of Tourism, He %w as named chairman of
the Florida Tourism Commission in 1993.

According to Sims, Disney World is the moving force in Florida tourism and
will continue to be for decades to come. "Instead of hurting other attractions,
it has helped us all by drawing millions of visitors to Florida each year who
wouldn't be coming if Disney World wasn't in the middle of the state Once
they're here, they also visit Cypress Gardens. SeaWorld, Universal Studios,
Busch Gardeni and the myriad of other attractions located up ,nd down the
peninsular-induding Florida's oldest tourist attraction. Silver Springs."

Research Initiaives
4Iy Dr .\larnBerh Horodyivk

MARYBETH HORODYSKI JOINED THE ESS
FACULTY IN 1992 AS AN ASSISTANT PROFES-
SOR AND DIRECTOR or ATHLETIC TRAINING
EDUCATION.

Research efforts in the athletic training
education program have been concen-
trated in the areas of prevention, injury
epidemiology and po, t-iniLurv rehabilita-
tion. Collaborative research efforts with
the Center for Exercise Science, the
Department of Orthopaedics, and the
University Athletic Association have
been funded by the Division of Spon-
sored Research to investigate the
incidence and mechanisms of injury
occurring to collegiate female athletes.
Additionally, a study funded by the
National Institute of Health in collabora-
tion with Albert Einstein College of
Medicine is being conducted to investi-
gate the relationship of incidence of
injury and reinjury to life stresses and


"freed and constrained" bimanual
coordination that was evident when
Mickey Mantle swung a baseball bat and
achieved the "sweet spot in time," or
when Michael Jordan moved the basket-
ball from his right hand to his left to
execute a reverse lay-up while flying
under the basket. Ponder the combina-
tions of movements involved in a group
of musicians like the Eagles as they play
one of your favorite songs. We know
very little about how elite athletes and
performers achieve their high skill level,
or how they select and execute the
appropriate movements with such
precision.

Understanding and explaining motor
actions is fascinating to me. My research
focuses on numerous aspects of coordi-
nated movements. The overall question
that drives my research concerns is: How
do we initiate and control motor actions?
I want to be able to describe, explain, and
predict the processes and mechanisms
that are activated during interlimb


coping strategies. Subjects for this three
year prospective study include Univer-
sity of Florida's football players and the
Cadets at the United States Military
Academy, West Point, NY.

With assistance from graduate athletic
training students, we are developing a
data collection process to establish
incidence of iniury in high school
athletics. The effort has expanded to
involve the collection of data at 13 area
high schools. The most recent data
collected on the incidence of injury to the
upper extremity of high school football
players has yielded valuable information
regarding severity of injury and strength
training programs.

In the area of injury prevention, investi-
gations are underway into the efficacy of
use of various braces for the ankle and


coordination. In attempting to answer
this leading question, a broad perspLtli\ e
of movements have been investigated: (a)
finger keypresses with two fingers on the
same hand or different hands, (b) tennis
players' anticipatory reactions and visual
tracking, (c) shuffling gait of Parkinson's
patients, (d) hand movements and
control of interns as they perform an
inguinal hernia, (e) interlimb coordina-
tion required while driving a car for
people with osteoarthritis, and (f)
walking anomalies of post-polio people.

In closing, imagine shooting a basketball
jumpshot from your favorite spot on the
court. As soon as you release the ball
you knew it was swish, that special
feeling was a consequence of your motor
actions. Think about your motor actions
the next time you pick up a glass of
Florida orange juice and successfully
move it to your mouth for a refreshing
drink. Complex or simple movements,

recently completed project investigated
dynamic postural stability while wearing
functional knee braces. Results of the
study suggested that the use of the braces
does not significantly effect postural
stability.

At the Florida Orthopaedic Society
Annual Meeting, the results of a study
investigating post-surgery treatment
methods for anterior cruciate ligament
patients were presented. Our results
suggested that patients treated with the
CryoCuff Intermittent Compression Knee
System required decreased pain medica-
tion during 48 hours post-surgery. Also
involved in the study were Drs.
Indelicato and Miller from the Depart-
ment of Orthopaedics and was funded by
the Aircast Corporation.

The Florida Center for Health Promotion
- Department of Health Science
Education in collaboration with the
College of Medicine provided two
courses for the 1995 Health Care Summer
Institute Program. The program brought
20 talented minority high school students
from throughout the state of Florida to
the University of Florida campus for a six
week institute. The goal of the program
was to expose these students to typical
university life and studies and allow
them to pursue interests in the health
care professions. Students were given a
rigorous study schedule during the week
which included several health assessment
projects and on the weekends were treated
to a variety of the area tourist attractions.
The two courses offered were Personal

Health Issues. A wide range of issues
impacting health were studied such as:
mental and emotional health, stress
management, nutrition and weight

innovative, multi-dimensional, client
centered/ecological intervention aimed
at preventing drug use and crime among
high risk adolescents. As a prototype
program, it is designed to assist inner-
city children to understand the long-term
impact of specific dysfunctional behav-
iors, particularly drug use and crime
related behaviors and develop decision
making, problem solving and conflict
resolution skills.

Institute found the courses offered by the
Florida Center for Health Promotion to
be excellent, and selected one of the
course instructors as the most influential

BRIGHT FUTURES HEALTH AND EDUCATION PROJECT
In the Summer of 1994, students from the
Department of health Science Education
became involved in the Bright Futures
project by offering a series of health
education activities to the youth in one of
the Gainesville area public housing
neighborhoods. By Summer of 1995,
three interdisciplinary teams consisting
of students from the College of Health
and Human Performance Department of
Health Science Education, College of
Medicine Ph) sicia.' As -i tcnt Program
and College of Education Department of
Curriculum and Instruction were
assembled to assess the health and
educational need of elementary aged
children. Each team met during the
summer to team-build and to develop the
project. Some of the meeting- occurred at





WISE-UP involves a collaborative
partnership with Kennedy Homes,
Counselors and Teachers from Fort
Clarke Middle School, the Juvenile Court,
Community Agencies and the University
of Florida. The two-year piog.rni
includes retreats, guest speakers, panel
discussions, tutorial and mentoring
programs. These programs are designed
to teach children life skills and to provide
leisure activities as alternative to drug
use and crime. Peer networks, family
interaction, and teamwork emphasizes
combining recreation and leisure
education, health education, decision
making and conflict resolution skills. The
project encompasses a lot of team
building exercises. These exercises
reinforce group building and cooperation
skills. The students are also taught the


the neighborhood site and included a
variety of assessment and planning
activities.
The objectives of the Bright Future
Health Teams were to:
1) assess the health needs of each
child involved in the Bright Futures
tutoring program,
2) develop an Individualized Health
and Education Plan (IIIEP) to address
health care, health education and other
education needs of the children involved
in the Bright Futures Program.
3) and train each Health Team
member rega.rdinlg the -spcxfic needs of
children from their respective profes-
sional disciplines.
Each team was required to keep a log of
team activities and meetings. Team
members met with children individually
and as a team. In addition, the health
team visited the neighborhood housing
unit in order to fully assess the situation.
Upon completion of the individual and
team assessment, the team as a whole met
with supervisors to develop an IHEP for
each student based on the educational,
health educational and health needs as
assessed. The IHEPs were reviewed by
faculty and administrators of a local
elementary school. The Bright Futures
Health and Education Teams Project was
organized by the Florida Center for
I health Promotion.

solving, strategizing, and realizing
consequences. Chess also offers a unique
way for young people to compete or
demonstrate their competence rather
than using the detrimental options many
of today's youth choose.
As a final component, the program will
provide inservice-training for agency
staff desiring to adopt Project WISE-UP
as a model to fight crime and drug
problems in their community. The
project went into full swing in the Fall
95 with the Wise-Old Owl Orientation
including a tutorial component, and a
family retreat.

interest in the news this ve;ir as
Sthie tirst group of "baby
boomers" turn fifty years of age.
Many significant births took place
in 1946, including the arrival ot a
new College on the Universit\ ot
Florida campus. The Gainesville
Daily Sun cost $.05, and on April
16, 1946, the lead story was "Board
Gives Athletics Division College
Rank, Stanley is Dean". Then ai. ---
now, newspaper headlines a~a' :-
always as accurate as one would
like. In reality it was the Division of
Physical Education, Health and
Athletics that had been given College
status...sports then as now sells more
newspapers than health or leisure or
education or physical fitness.

IN NM AKING THE ANNOUNCE-
1MN1 of the approval, UF Presi-
dent John J. Tigert was quoted,
"This is the first college of its kind
to be set up in any university in
the United States....it is intended
to discharge the obligation the
University of Florida has in the
state in preparing instructors of
physical education, health and
athletics for secondary schools as
well as directors of recreation for
industrial and municipal posi-
tions." Officially the College
admitted its first majors in
September 1946 and graduated
two students two years later.

THE NEW COLLEGE had five
departments Professional Curricu-
lum, Required Physical Education,
Intramural Athletics and Recreation,
Inter-Collegiate Athletics and

Student Health (the infirmary). There
was no need to have separate
required programs for men and
women as this was over a year before
women would be admitted to UF
The degree offered was a Bachelor of
Arts in physical education, but then
as now we were ahead of the times
as Dean Stanley noted the curricu-
lum was designed to educate stu-
dents for employment in industry as
well as schools.

INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
was taken out of the college in 1950;
and in 1952 the name of the College
was officially changed to College of
Physical Education and Health.
Almost twenty years later (in 1971)
Recreation was added to the name.
In 1953 the degrees became more
specific with separate Bachelor of
Science degrees in physical educa-
tion, health education and recre-
ation being offered. From 1955 until
1961 degrees in physical therapy
were granted by the College under
an agreement with medical schools
at Duke, and Mayo at Rochester. In
1961 the PT program became a
part of Health Related Professions.


S Soon after the Infirmary was taken
under the direction of the J. Hillis
I Miller Medical Center.


SINCE 1949-50 the physical
location of the College has been
primarily the Florida Gym. When
construction was completed the
Florida Gym was considered the
premier facility of its type in the
eastern United States. Not only
was there a mass seating facility
that would seat all students,
faculty and most of the staff, about
5500 people; but there were class-
rooms, a recreation hall, faculty
and student locker rooms and
departmental offices. After almost
50 years of evolving to meet the
needs of an increasingly diversi-
fied faculty and expanding
enrollment, the Florida Gym is
nearing the end of a $10,000,000
renovation project.

FROM 2 STUDENT MAJORS in
1946-47 to over 1000 majors today;
from a College of Physical Educa-
tion, Health and Athletics to the
College of Health and I Iuman
Performance, there is a common
theme of excellence and tradition
that links all of us together. In April
of 1997 we invite all alumni, friends,
and others who have an interest to
celebrate 50 years of excellence as
we officially re-dedicate the College
of Health and Human Performance
and the Florida Gym.
