the independent florida udfafai Not officially associated with the University of Florida VOLUME 98 ISSUE 135 Published by Campus Communications, Inc. of Gainesville, Florida We Inform. You Decide. TEDY A cPycl 1,0 TUESDAY, APRIL 12,2005 ADMINISTRATION Graduates to miss out By STEPHANIE GARRY Alligator Staff Writer smgarry@alligator.org UF will have no single event to celebrate the graduation of the class of 2005, after plans to bring a keynote speaker fell through. UF invited a guest speaker, but the person could not come because of a scheduling conflict, said Lynne Collis, administrative services coordinator. She said she could not say whom UF invited. Collis helped coordinate last year's convocation, which featured U.S. Sen. John McCain as the key- note speaker. "By the time we-received word of unavailability, the timing for planning had gone too late into the semester," Collis said. The university does not invite more than one speaker at a time in case both accept, leaving UF in the embar- rassing situation of having two speakers or having to turn one down, Collis said. Since the convocation cer- emony hinges on the keynote address, UF decided not to hold McCain one this year. hccain b "One of the integral compo- nents of the event was to have a speaker," Collis said. Usually universities try to invite public officials because of their prominence and because they don't require a speaker's fee, Collis said. Last year, UF paid only for McCain's travel and lodging expenses, she said. But prominent people have a lot of demands on their schedules, and coordinating them to speak at an event is time consuming. UF has been decentralizing commencement ceremonies over the past few years as graduating classes have outgrown a single event. Last year's convocation was meant to bring the university's colleges together since their commence- ment ceremonies wouldn't. It was the first and only event UF held, Collis said. McCain spoke about "Why Courage Matters," and the ceremony included musical performances, a fireworks display and a public reception. The changes to graduation have become neces- sary, as enrollment has reached about 50,000. - This year's ceremonies will take place over four days, from April 28 to May 1, and in four venues. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences even has had to split up its graduation ceremonies for bachelor's and master's degrees, and the registrar's office has run info a conflict where a small number of students are scheduled for exams at the time of their commencement. First base- man Matt LaPorta has his swing set on UF's single- season home run record. The sophomore has 12 home runs already. See story, pg. 21. Darkness falls on UF "Chappelle's Show" star Charlie Murphy speaks to a capacity crowd in the Reitz Union Rion Ballroom on such topics as trickle-down eco- nomics and the true nature of his relationship with musician Rick James. The free event was spon- sored by the Reitz Union Board. See story, pg. 5. House may toughen hit-and-run laws * LEAVING A DEADLY ACCIDENT SOON MAY MEAN A LIFE SENTENCE. By IVETTE MENDEZ Alligator Writer imendez@alligator.org An Ocala representative announced a bill Monday aimed at decreasing alcohol- related, hit-and-run accidents in Florida. During a press conference, state Rep. Larry Cretul, R-Ocala, advocated a stricter punishment for people convicted of leav- ing the scene of an accident. "Leaving the scene of an accident is not an accident," Cretul said. The punishment for being convicted of driving under the influence, a first-degree felony, is stricter than that of a hit and run. Cretul and other critics say that this penalty disparity leads some offenders to flee the scene of an accident, a second- degree felony, rather than risk a DUI con- viction, which can mean a 30-year prison sentence. Fifteen years is the maximum sentence for the former. If amended, the penalty for leaving an accident scene if a death occurs would become the same as that for a DUI convic- tion. "There's no law that can stop people from doing the wrong thing." Larry Cretul State representative While the bill may not reduce DUI ac- cidents, it may discourage drivers from leaving the scene of an accident, Cretul said. "There's no law that can stop people from doing the wrong-thing," Cretul said, referring to DUI incidences. The hit-and-run death of 18-year-old Stephanie Whitler last year was the gen- esis of the bill. "My husband and I have been work- ing on this for several months," Stephanie "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" The city of Gainesville may soon be keep- ing tabs on two schools' keg parties. Or at least their public transit. See story, pg. 4. Whitler's mother, Beth, said, referring to their work in trying to pass legislation to make the punishment stricter. Whitler does not necessarily want stricter punishments for offenders but she said she expects the legislation to encour- age offenders to stay and help victims of the crime, instead of fleeing to avoid extra prison time. "This person just took off, not know- ing if she could be helped or not helped," Whitler said, referring to her daughter's accident. The Whitlers have not spoken to any- one who is against the legislation to stiffen the penalty, she said. Cretul learned of the family's situation at Whitler's one-year memorial, he said. Since then, he has been working with the legislature to amend the penalty. "We've got four weeks of session left," Cretul said. The Florida House of Representatives is moving the bill quickly through the committee process.

Get cash for your books.* UNIVERSITY OF *FLORIDA BOOKSTORES 4, ALLIGATOR E TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 2005 Fraternity faces sanctions for unregistered party Officials have already accepted guilt By KYLIE CRAIG Alligator Writer kcraig@alligator.org Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity faces charges after allegedly holding an unregis- tered party last month. University Police reports state the party had more than 300 people in attendance. However, partygoers are contesting those and other allegations. Sigma Alpha Epsilon has 105 active mem- bers, so numbers listed on the UPD reports assume that nearly two-thirds of the party's attendance consisted of non-members. Phone calls to UPD for comment were not returned Reports state, "A strong odor of alcohol was emanating from the second level of the house," and that 80 percent of those in at- tendance were females. Those at the party ran into ten different rooms to hide from police, with between 25 to 30 people in each room, reports state. According to reports, only two or three individuals in each room were older than 21, the legal drinking age, and 95 percent of those interviewed by investigating officers were under the influence of alcohol. Once police ordered those at the party to leave the bedrooms, they told all those who were not fraternity members to leave. Some of the non-members raced out of the house, some jumping off balconies in ef- forts to flee yelling police officers, according to accounts of several party attendees. The police reports also state that the Student Nighttime Auxiliary Patrol, or SNAP, was called in to offer safe travel for intoxicated partygoers. However, a UF student there for the closing of the party who wishes to have her name withheld said SNAP did not arrive when students were ordered to leave. "The police yelled at everyone to get out of the house, and when we ran outside there was no one there to give anyone a ride," she said. Representatives of the frater- Greek nity have already accepted guilt 'Life for the charges brought before them at a Judicial Affairs hearing last week. Sigma Alpha Epsilon is expected to take part in a sanctioning hearing Wednesday to determine punishment for the charges. "However, we're confident the truth will come out through the judicial process," said Tyler Parramore, a member of the fraterni- ty's executive council.

Following lobbying efforts to- ward allowing community colleges to negotiate contracts for bus service, SFCC student Daniel Jones asked for an evaluation of the benefits and consequences of annexing his school into Gainesville during the public- comment portion of Monday's City Commission meeting.- "We are here today to request an annexation referendum for Santa Fe Community College and the sur- rounding area," Jones, who was also named Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan's LSAT I GMAT I GRE I MCAT DAT I PCAT I NCLEX-RN USMLE I TOEFL I OAT P Realistic practice 0 Free extra help I Kaplan study centers 0 Best teachers I Located in Reitz Union Spring classes filling fast!

Jones said that if annexed, SFCC could more easily demand changes in Regional Transit System services. Spurred by dissatisfaction con- cerning SFCC's inability to negotiate a transportation access-fee contract with RTS, 10 students including Jones and SFCC President Jackson Sasser traveled to Tallahassee earlier this year to advocate for Transportation Bill 542. The bill would allow commu- nity colleges to negotiate the kind of credit-hour-based contract UF has. Though SFCC's main campus has an address within city limits, the actual facilities are located just outside Gainesville to the West. RTS' main operating -hubs are UF's cam- pus and downtown. 0,0 "The referendum tells us, what the city and county differ on." Katharine Bucco SFCC Student Senate president SFCC students now pay $35 per semester for an unlimited ticket to ride RTS buses. UF students pay $4.10 per credit hour to ride for free when they pres- ent their Gator 1 cards to the driver. Thus, the average UF student who takes 15 credits pays $61.50, nearly twice as much, to ride buses. Jones and Katharine Bucco, pres- ident of the SFCC Student Senate, also presented a petition asking for the referendum signed by SFCC students and area residents. "The referendum tells us what the city and county differ on," Bucco said. "As Senate president.I'd like to encourage everyone to consider this proposal." She maintained the Senate does not advocate annexation. TOWING TETE A TETE: The commis- sion voted 4-3 not to change the $76 roam-towing rate despite pleas from one company to lower it to $60. "Everybody feels this is getting out of control," he said. Superior Towing's David Idleman called for the city to investigate re-_ quests for roam-tow rate hikes by towing companies that cite insurance rates and operation-cost increases to justify their positions. Kevin Whiteside of Ultimate Towing disputed the question of le- gitimacy in rising business costs. "I don't think there is one compa- ny in Gainesville whose prices have gone down for what they provide," Whiteside said. Commissioner Tony Domenech, a member of the Public Safety Committee which hears towing concerns, said his group was "not persuaded by the argument at all" to raise rates. Commissioner Rick Bryant noted that it is Superior Towing's preroga- tive to charge lower prices to com- pete, not request a mandate of the Commission that could force.other local companies out of business. "I'm saying God bless you, do it better and cheaper," he said. "Don't ask us to do your work." "We each earned four different scholarships from Melrose they really reward students!"

More than 800 students packed into' the Reitz Union Rion Ballroom for the performance, part of the "I'm Rich Biatch" comedy tour, hosted by the Reitz Union Board. About another 100 were turned away, Reitz Union officials estimated. Probably best known for playing op- posite Dave Chappelle in comedy skits parodying famed "Superfreak" musician Rick James,. Murphy caused the crowd to erupt in cheers with just one word "dark- ness." To Chappelle fans, it was a reference to a James joke that Eddie and Charlie Murphy were the two darkest people in Hollywood before Wesley Snipes.

"So they can do this," he said before He'll be somewhere and see a small reenacting the scenario. The small child looks up at him, tug- ging on his shirt before whispering, "I'm Rick James, bitch." Reitz Union Board comedians chairman Vincson Harris said Murphy's would be the organization's last show of the semes- ter. "We wanted to end the year very big. We wanted to pull someone who already had a following," he said. Comedian Marina Franklin, who has performed on "Showtime at the Apollo" and "Last Comic Standing," as well as "Chappelle's Show," opened Monday night for MurlShy. She joked about cats in heat, growing up in a mostly white suburb of Chicago and dating. "You don't leave a man when you don't have a job," she said. "I actually go on dates now just so I can eat." UF students Chad Murray and James Chaknis said they attended the event after hearing about it through word of mouth. Asked why they wanted to attend, both simultaneously replied, "It's Charlie Murphy!" "I made them let me off work early so I could get here," Murray said. "It was hilarious. He's got a weird stage presence. He's really goofy and funny," he said, later adding, "You could tell he wasn't afraid to piss people off, too."

Big deal. We don't measure our success based on whether or not some panel of experts thinks we're better than some other student paper. What we really want to know is: What do you think? Call us masochistic, but we want to know all of the deep- est, darkest feelings and criticisms our readers have about our work. In order to offer students a chance to let us know in per- son, we are going to hold a forum this Friday at 6 p.m. in 1064 Weimer Hall (Gannett Auditorium, on the first floor of the journalism building by the TVs). Think of it as a Student Government executive-candidate debate, only without -all of the false promises, campaign rhetoric or silly, politico-style hairdos. The forum is open to the public, and there will be no pre- determined questions. It's all up to you. You'll have your choice of targets from the editorial staff: Dwayne Robinson and Mike Gimignani, the editor and managing editor, will be there, along with news editors, sports editors and everyone's favorite editorial cartoonist/ troublemaker Andy Marlette. Want to tell any of these people how bad of a job they've done? Let them know, and then they'll have a better idea of how they need to improve. Do your worst. Of course, we're hoping for some constructive criticism as well. We won't stop you if you want to tell us how much of an "offensive, partisan rag" you think we ar:e, but we'd prefer examples of things that we could do better. We intend this forumnto be a chance for the average stu- dent to let us know what they think of our paper students who might not feel disgusted enough with us to write in a letter to the editor whenever we print something with which they disagree. But we won't turn the angry letter-writers away either. We aren't limiting this to students, however: Faculty, alumni, Gainesville residents and pretty much anyone else who has at least cast a cursory glance at our publication is welcome to attend. If the chance to tell that Alligator staffer in person what an idiot he or she is isn't enough, we're going to be giving away some free stuff afterward as well. If there's one thing you can say about journalism, it'ssthat. you get a lot of free swag. Unfortunately, you're not allowed to keep any of it. Stupid morals. Regardless, we hope this will be an opportunity for us to connect with the readers, who are the only reason the Alligator even exists. At the end of the day, we're here be- cause we want to do everything we can to get you the news of which you need to be aware. What, you thought we did this for the money or for the line on a resume? It's that kind of crazy talk that we're hoping to dispel at the forum. Besides, you know journalists don't make any money. We get paid in political favors. Duh.

Opinions ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/opinions -7 .0'- .A". Column Pink powder puffs prove problematic usually leave the sports writing to my compatriots on the back pages of the Alligator, but sometimes stupid- ity transcends the traditional news boundaries. Anyone who has ever played a sport knows that a little good-natured ribbing from the coaches and other-players is part of the game. Any player who never has been em- barrassed for a mistake they-have made likely hasn't been playing too long. And anyone who has ever been part of any organization or group of friends, really, knows that a bit of chiding is natural among members of a tight-knit group. That's why I think it's only fitting when I hear that the coaches of our rivals, the Arkansas Razorbacks, began forc- ing players who were thought to be loafing to wear pink jerseys during practice. All right, I'll admit it: I think it's great. Regardless of whether or not you think pink should be equated with femininity or weakness, you have to agree that any football player wearing a pastel uniform during practice is going to think twice about slacking during his sprints. Now that that's clear, this is where the stupid comes in. The Razorbacks aren't allowed to use the color pink to punish loafers anymore because doing so is derogatory to breast cancer survivors. If you're a rational member of society, that last sentence probably made you skip a beat. Let me assure you: You read that right. Using pink jerseys as a punishment for lazy play- ers is demeaning to cancer survivors, apparently to the point that some offended folks were going to withhold support from the team for as long as it was going on. Why, you may be asking yourself, is this so offensive? Because breast-cancer survivors often wear pink ribbons. Because some of those who have survived breast cancer (and their supporters) like to pin pink ribbons onto their T- shirts to show solidarity, everyone on the planet henceforth is banned from using pink to make fun of someone. But why stop there? Look at all of these other groups us- ing trademark colors unfairly eqiuat- ed with negative images (I promise I am not making these up).: S -The Miami Dolphins will be banned from wearing teal until they W" ~' get out of the dump and have a win- Matt Sanchez ning season. As everyone knows, Editorial Notebook teal ribbons are the official accesso- msanchez@alligator.org ries of ovarian-cancer awareness. Bartenders will have to keep some food coloring in stock, as it is no longer acceptable for them to serve lime-green margaritas. Lime green is the exclusive province of lymphoma sufferers, and it's not fair to insinuate that everyone afflicted with the disease is a raging alcoholic. To make sure we don't offend the brown-ribbon wearers, who are concerned with colorectal cancer... On second thought, let's not go .there. Obviously, this leaves us with one choice: Get naked. But not so fast let's not forget that the clear ribbon has a long history as a symbol for lung-cancer awareness. Just think of all the disgusting things people do when they're naked. We can't let the good names of real cancer suf- ferers be sullied by the kinky actions of people who probably don't even smoke. Unfortunately, the limited spectrum of visible colors means that the last possible shade sort of an orangish purple was taken up three years ago by the sole sufferer of a chronic strain of projectile diarrhea (OK, maybe I made that one up). Thus, anyone who wants to continue to live without the threat of being arrested for color discrimination must inflict himself or herself with the medical condition that corre- sponds to the color of his or her choosing. For me, this means there is no other option: Pass the ciga- rettes I think I'll take my chances with the lung cancer. Matt Sanchez is opinions editor at the Alligator.

Jason Levitt, I thank you for writing a column to critique my work. One of the main catalysts for deciding to bring Bridget here was to get people to think. We wander around life not thinking enough in general, especially about the issues facing the disability community. My community is dis- criminated against in a way that is invisible to most people. Every day, as a disabled woman, I face negative assumptions about my physical ability, intellectual capacity and sexuality. It is hard to roll in these wheels, and I am going to do all I can to change these pervasive oppressive ideas that hold not only my people down, but all people, really. We are better off as a culture when there are more diverse people participating in societal dialogue. The mission of the conference was to dismantle normalized beauty standards and challenge the assumption that disabled people are asexual. Guess what? It succeeded. The media. often portray myself and my events in a manner intended to provoke pity or empathy, never emotions of liberation, and this event revolutionized the conception of disability because Bridget was seen as a beau- tiful (albeit controversial) former adult-film star, not just a disabled little person. She is an intense woman who has had a hard life; you cannot judge her for the path she is walking. In a country and a university where the First Amendment right to freedom of expres- sion is heralded as a cornerstone of our soci- ety, we cannot deny this constitutional right to those of us who choose alternative life paths. Some might argue that political-science majors somehow -are not actualized because political systems do not explain people and that there is more to humanity than a system, but I am not one of those people. I cannot tell you if you are "self-actualized, nor should you be able to do so about someone you do not know. One question I cannot help but ask is: Why is it not as degrading to our university to bring Ron Jeremy, a pillar of the pornography com- munity, here? The only answer I have come up with is that he is a man and not disabled. Be uncomfortable about Bridget or think about her and masturbate to her work, if you so chose but do not judge her or my choices if you do not condemn a man who has done more than 950 more films than Bridget. Bethany Stevens Director, DisAbility Affairs Cabinet Levitt deserves thanks for taking a stand Editor: Bravo to Jason Levitt for expressing an opinion that some may consider to be in the minority. In an articulate and straightforward col- umn yesterday, he offered an argument to those who would say, "We all should watch midget pom; it's fun." Thank you for your words. Alyssa Briden 7FA Guest column retreaded old arguments Editor: Undoubtedly, a halt to all settlement activity is in the interests of the United States and the peace process and is necessary. How- ever, what is not needed or helpful is William James Martin's biased, backward-looking propaganda. The problem in the region is that too many people do exactly what Martin did: rehash old stories, compare them to the present, forget to explain that there are two sides to every story, etc. Martin should remember, as we all should, that progress is gradual, and perspective is subjective. Just think about the solemn history of our great country's transgressions. Most Israelis want to live in peace and security with their Palestinian neighbors. I be- lieve most Palestinians want to live in freedom and prosperity with a secure Israel. Let's hope the Martins of. the world don't stifle the efforts of rational, forward- looking thinkers. David Henry UF alumnus TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 2005 3 ALLIGATOR, 7 Proposed logo sends the wrong message Editor: The proposed new UF "logo" is a bad idea. The plan is to remove the pictorial image (the UF seal) and add the tagline "A lifetime experience." First, a logo is a simple, easy-to-recognize pictorial image. It may be an iconic or abstract symbol, or it may be a typographically styl- ized letter, abbreviation or name. Pictorial images are processed far more rapidly in the brain and are more easily recog- nized than words. That is why virtually every business has a pictorial logo to enhance brand recognition. They realize "a picture is worth a thousand words." As a general rule, text is processed in the left. brain and pictorial images in the right brain. The two complement each other and form the holistic processing that is desired in brand recognition. The tagline mainly is a left- brain presentation and ignores the important right-brain dimension. We need a true logo, not simply.a slogan below our name. It's not too late. Although UF has wasted nearly $100,000 on this verbose "logo," enough concerned opposition still could save the mil- lions of dollars required to implement this ill- conceived change. Some key addresses to send your thoughts to are president@uff.ufl.edu and ufalum@uff.ufl.edu.

However, with last week's selection of a new judiciary- committee chairman, an online- voting bill or any other Student proposed Government" legislation now can be heard by the committee before it is voted on by the Senate, which meets Tuesday nights. Senate Pro Tempore and for- mer Judiciary Chairman John Boyles said now that Matthew Chamoff leads the committee, it can resume its official Sunday meetings to review proposed legislation. An online-voting bill, au- thored by former Student Sen. Andrew Hoffman and Student Body Treasurer Dennis Ngin, came about after a petition to put. the issue of online voting on the ballot for the Spring election was denied in February by the SG Supreme Court. Hoffman withdrew the bill during a March 13 judiciary- committee meeting, after mem- bers debated the definition of a polling location as defined in SG statutes, as well as possible secu- rity issues with voting online. He may present the bill again at any time, which he said he plans to do in the Fall after he gets a chance to make revisions. "I'd like to see it done some- time before I graduate," he said. Hoffman and Ngin's original bill suggested doing away with physical polling locations and al- lowing students to vote online as early as the Fall semester. Online-voting supporters have said that allowing students to cast their ballots from any computer with an Internet con- nection would increase turnout. Joe Goldberg was elected Student Body President in a March runoff in which 7,740, or about 16 percent, of the Student Body voted. Candidates Goldberg, Ngin and MacKenzie Moritz said dur- ing their campaigns that they supported online voting.

Professor's findings shed light on mental disability By SKYLER SMITH Alligator Writer ssmith@alligator.org" The discoveries of one UF scientist soon could provide new insights into a type of genetic disorder at the root of mental retardation, Phenylketonuria, or PKU, is an inherited disorder charac- terized by an overabundance of the amino acid phenylalanine. PKU is caused by an inability of the body to produce the neces- sary enzymes to break the phenylalanine down. "The molecular biology of this has been well studied, but we know nothing about the mechanisms that cause brain disorder, and this experiment could be new and original work on what is going on in the brain," said Anatoly Martynyuk, assistant professor of anesthesiology and neuroscience at UF's MADDIE S Pet Rescue Project ofAlachua County presents 6 convenient locations, 10 hours and .200 pets for you to love ,esetRescueof 4 \ College of Medicine and the McKnight Brain Institute. The study by Martynyuk and other UF researchers was published in the February issue of the scientific research jour- nal Brain. The study found that the excess of phenylalanine interferes with the brain's ability to transmit informa- UF tion around the organ. The phenylalanine Research eventually builds to dangerous levels in the brain. "If left untreated, there can be severe mental retardation, seizures; the people can't talk," Martynyuk said. The problem arises because the amino acid is very common in most foods, especially protein. The treatment for PKU is a very strict, low-protein liquid .diet that is very hard to stick with for long periods of time, ac- cording to Martynyuk.

This diet, which bans or strictly limits meat and dairy, should be adhered to especially during the childhood years, but in reality cannot be abandoned-at any time during a PKU patient's life. PKU occurs in one out of every 15,000 births in the United States. All babies, born in the state of Florida are screened for PKU in the hospital soon after birth. If not treated in a short time after birth, PKU can cause severe and irreparable brain damage, according to the Florida Department of Health. The findings from this study are the first step toward un- derstanding exactly how and why too much phenylalanine adversely affects the brain. Martynyuk hopes to begin building on this research toward a cure for the seizures associated with PKU.

N r. o*v TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 2005 E ALLIGATOR, 11 Fine Arts gets interim dean By EMILY YEHLE Alligator Writer eyehle@alligator.org A year after the dean of UF's College of Fine Arts announced he would step down, a committee soon will begin its second year mulling over who will replace him. The committee was close to choosing 10 finalists for Don McGlothlin's old position in February, when its members decided to pause the search. In the meantime, Associate Dean Barbara Korner will take over as interim dean beginning July 1. In February, UF President Bernie Machen scrapped a search to replace exiting provost David Colbum, mov- ing the quest replacement of UF's No. 2 administrator to August. That postponement led to several others. "Most viable candidates will not come somewhere where they don't know who their new boss is going to be," said committee chairman Russell L. Robinson. "It made all the sense in the world to close the search." The committee will pick up next Fall, when a new provost is expected to be in office. McGlothlin will leave June 30 for a year on sabbatical. He then will re- turn to UF to teach and research. The permanent dean will take his or her position in June 2006, even if the committee finds a candidate dur- ing the coming academic year. Placing a new dean mid-year Korner would beimpractical, Robinson said, because the college tends to schedule its activities on an annual, rather than semester, basis. Komer, who has been associate dean for five years, is perfect for filling McGlothlin's shoes, Robinson said. "She won't sit idly and do the status quo," he said. "She'll begin to move forward." Korner applied for the permanent job last Fall and can renew her application when the search committee meets next year, Robinson said. Although she is unsure whether she'll take advan- tage of that option, Korner said she will work to im- prove the college as interim dean. In the next year, she said she plans to expand oppor-. tunities for interdisciplinary projects, research the College of Fine Arts performs alongside other UF colleges. Lauren Roth, a theater graduate student, said Komer constantly interacts with students. This Spring, Roth played Korner's daughter in the play "You Never Can Tell." Although some students had reservations about a faculty member taking a coveted part in the college's play, Komer immediately made the student actors feel comfortable, Roth said. "From the first day, she went out of her way to make it a pleasurable experience," she said. "She never came with an attitude." Although she is disappointed that she will not be able to perform while serving as the dean, Korner said she will find other ways to stick close to students, per- haps by.creating a dean's advisory council. "If I would pass Dean Komer on the street," Roth said, "I would know who she was and what she did for me."

ONE DRIVER DID NOT KNOW HIS PASSENGER HAD STOLEN THE CAR. By ELIZABETH PRANN Alligator Writer eprann@ufl.edu A Gainesville man ignored a routine traffic stop last week- end, and the Gainesville Police officer trying to stop him watched him crash into three cars two parked and a . U.S. Postal Service mailbox, reports state. GPD spokesman Sgt. Keith Kameg said Kenny D. Roberts, 21, was arrested Sunday for unruly behavior. I Reports state Roberts was driving west on University Avenue late Saturday night when an officer attempted to verbally stop him because of the volume of his car stereo. Allegedly, the music was audible over 100 feet away. Disregarding verbal com- mands, Roberts sped off in his gray Cadillac before the officer was able to catch him. Around Southeast 11th Street, Roberts reportedly began to speed and drive recklessly. After hitting the three cars and the mailbox in the vicin- ity of Southwest 13th Street, Roberts. jumped out of his vehicle to flee from pursuing authorities, reports state. R.b.lirt'S admitted to the .damage, Kameg said. , The report -tated Robertsk told authoribh-s he ran because he didn t \aint to go to lail Lt Roberts -uLbmitted to the officerr cha-inig him, his con- sequences could have been as small as a $74 fine, Kameg said. Roberts was booked on charges of reckless driving and leaving the scene with property damage as well as resisting and attempting to flee an officer. * Another routine traffic stop resulted in the arrests of two men on charges of grand theft Sunday, but the driver wasn't charged, police said. Alachua County Sheriff's Office spokesman Lt. Jim Troiano said Roosevelt Smoaks, 20, was driving with passen- ger Maurice Milton, 17, when police pulled Smoalks over for suspicious driving. After being stopped, the of- ficer discovered the vehicle was -stolen, and arrested Smoaks on an outstanding warrant. Smoaks, unaware the ve- hicle did not belong to Milton, listened as the latter admitted to the theft and told of a fellow accomplice and his address. Jeffrey J. Brown, 21, was ar- rested at 2206 SE 44th Terrace at 2:30 a.m. Monday, reports state. Brown also admitted to the theft, and was booked on a pre- vious warrant and grand theft.

"There are many instances when people give up their rights need- lessly," said Ashlee Valdes, NORML UF president. "An example would be search and seizure. Students should know that they don't have to consent to being searched without a warrant." NORML executive director Allen St. Pierre will speak at the event.

Rides TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 2005 U ALLIGATOR, 21 Country Crusher UF sophomore zeroes in on home-run mark By TIM CASEY Alligator Writer tcasey@alligator.org A r '' Can you really blame him? Can you dog UF sophomore Matt LaPorta for jacking home runs like it's his job? Not really. LaPorta has been saddled with the expectations of a power hitter since he first picked up a baseball bat. "I've been in that role ever since I was a little kid," LaPorta said. "In Little League ball, I was the youngest kid on the team and I was hitting the most home runs." Growing up in Port Charlotte, the first baseman said he was always the big guy, so he never had a choice in the matter. "I just was blessed," LaPorta said. "I've always been big. I've always had a big frame and stood out." LaPorta leads the Gators with 12 home runs, second in the Southeastern Conference, while his 41 RBI lead the conference. But despite the numbers, the slugger says he doesn't overemphasize weightlifting. Instead, LaPorta prefers simpler exercises that build strength while not limiting flex- ibility. "It's just something God has given you," LaPorta said. "Last year, I was just a big kid. I was just country-strong, country-big." Country strength helped him earn honors as a first-team Freshman All-American last season. "I don't think I benched over 200 last year," LaPorta said. "I don't do bench press bars, I use dumbbells. I use a couple of 100s. You can get power by lifting weights, but there's always been something about the ability that God gave me that sticks out." LaPorta has an intimidating appearance. With burly shoulders and a broad jaw, he looks like someone you wouldn't want to run into in a dark alley. Nothing could be further from the truth. He's more likely to be found in the batting cage of McKethan Stadium late at night. After a disappointing 0-for-5 performance with three strikeouts in a win against Florida A&M, he lingered in the batting cage until security officers asked him to leave after 1 a.m. "The day is so short," LaPorta said. "I try to get to bed by 9:30 or 10:00 so I can get up in the morning and go hit." LaPorta is quiet and humble by nature. He doesn't stay out late at night. Rather, he wakes Tim Casey/ Alligator First baseman Matt LaPorta has his sights set on UF's single-season home run record. With 12 home runs already, LaPorta has 22 regular-season games left to break the record of 23 homers. up early to take extra batting practice. LaPorta is relatively new to his position. He "During spring practice, we had to work started one game at first base last season and out at 7 a.m., so my buddy and I made sure we was drafted as a catcher by the Chicago Cubs were here by 5:45 a.m. so we could hit for an in the 14th round of the 2003 draft. hour in the cage," LaPorta said. "It's a new position for Matt, and he's The buddy he speaks of is another power working hard to get better," McMahon said. LaPorta played third base It's just something God has given you and pitched as a freshman in I was just country-strong, count hitter, freshman Bryson Barber. Although LaPorta is a sophomore, he has more experience than half of his teammates, so players turn to him for leadership. "I want to see everybody succeed because if everybody succeeds, we have a chance to go pretty far," LaPorta said. Religion plays a central role in his weekly schedule, a theme that is constantly on his mind. Before he steps into the batter's box, he draws a cross in the dirt with his bat. "Monday nights, we have a Bible study we go to," LaPorta said. "It's like an athlete Bible study, set up by Matt Kynes, a quarterback on the football team, and one of the pole vault- .ers, Dara [Altman]. We do that every Monday night, and on Wednesday we do [Fellowship of Christian Athletes]." Last yar, I was just a big kid. ry-big. Matt LaPorta, UF first baseman high school, then transferred to Charlotte High. The coaches there told him he'd have to switch to catcher if he was going to see any playing time, so the position- change at UF wasn't anything new. "Since he's working so hard to get better, he's starting to see the results," McMahon said. LaPorta 'boasts a fielding percentage of .986, registering just five errors in 353 chances. To put that in perspective, C.J. Smith, last sea- son's star first baseman, finished with a .987 fielding percentage and was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles last summer. LaPorta hopes to join Smith in the professional ranks, saying it's been on his mind since he was a little kid. "Matt has very high expectation levels for himself and that's good," McMahon said. LaPorta will be at UF for at least one more season after this year and could very well break the single-season home. run and RBI records. LaPorta continues swinging for the single- season home run record mark of 23. He is av- eraging one home run for every 10 at-bats, or slightly more than one every two games. LaPorta has 22 regular-season games re- maining, not including the SEC Tournament and NCAA playoffs, to surpass the record. Ryan Shealy last hit 23 home runs in 2002, which tied former UF star Brad Wilkerson's record set in 1997 and 1998. Wilkerson, now playing for the Washington Nationals, says he welcomes any challenge. "Records are made to be broken," Wilkerson said. "If somebody can step it up and do that, I'd be happy for them. I think guys focus sometimes too much on the home run and hitting the ball hard sometimes." LaPorta is excited about where his talent may take him. "I've always been able to hit the ball hard," LaPorta said. "When I hit, sometimes people tell me they're in awe. My dad's always been saying, 'If you can hit, you can make it. Bottom line.' They'll find somewhere for you to play if you can hit." Except for some security guards, they'll never turn him away in Gainesville. GYMNASTICS Gymnasts to face Georgia again in championships By DAN TREAT, Alligator Writer dtreat@alligator.org * It seems only appropriate that after they've split four meet- ings this season, UF and Georgia would get to duel one more time. And thanks to the NCAA draw, they'll get that chance. The No. 7 Gators were selected to compete in the second ses- sion of the NCAA Championships, beginning April 21. Joining them are No. 2 UCLA, No. 4 Alabama, No. 9 Iowa State, No. 13 Brigham Young and the aforementioned No. 5 Georgia squad that UF soundly defeated at Saturday's Southeast Regionals. UF's new mentality was reflected in the strong performance it put together in that victory. "How they performed was exactly what we had really fo- caused on since we came back from SECs," UF coach Rhonda Faehn said. "I told them from the beginning that the per- formance [at SECs] would not be considered a failure if we learned from those mistakes." While past performances may not be indicative of future results, the Gators do have experience with the four teams they will battle. UF is 2-2 against Georgia and defeated Alabama at the Super Six Challenge and a regular season home meet before falling at the SEC Championships. UCLA defeated the Gators the same night the Bruins posted the nation's highest score this- season. "It's a new day when we get there," Georgia coach Suzanne Yoculan said after Saturday's competition. "The-SEC Championship title didn't mean squat tonight, and tonight doesn't mean squat in two weeks at the national champion- ships." UF won the meet despite missing a couple of key compo- nents. Co-captain Samantha Lutz was lim- ited to competing on the uneven bars after tweaking her back in practice last week, Lu in..lwher to miss almost an entire week of tramung She< was back on the balance beam The ankle injury Savannah Evans suf- Lutz fered on Saturday turned out to be less se- vere than initially thought. She is already off crutches and worked out lightly with the team on Monday. "She's doing much better than we had first anticipated," Faehn said. "It's considered a mild sprain and she's been given the green light for possibly NCAAs." 22, ALLIGATOR E TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 2005 -"C o "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content * Available from Commercial News Providers" 40i- Former UF players take in spring game Meyer pleased with results FOOTBALL, from page 24 outside of practice to help them understand offensive strategies, Leak shied from barraging them with motivational choice words on the field. Besides, as an underclassman, who was he to tell a group of ju- niors and seniors how to live? "As a young player, you have a lot of older guys, a lot of seniors on the team," Leak said. "The main thing you want to do is lead by example. That's the type of leader I am." Meyer described Leak's leader- ship qualities to him in another way during the many frank discussions he and his quarterback shared. "Every time I confronted him, he would always come back and say, 'I don't do that,'" Meyer said. "I said, 'Fine. It's just reinforcing the fact that you're an extremely poor leader.'" Leak, however, didn't take of- fense to Meyer's criticism. "That's just part of growing as a leader," Leak said. "Michael Jordan had to do it Joe Montana, all those guys. That's just part of being a leader of this team." Baker will say Leak remains the same father-like figure he has been the past two seasons. But Meyer said Leak finally appears to be growing into that leadership role, much like former Utah quarter- back Alex Smith did going into his junior year. Meyer even said Leak has progressed into a "terrific leader" compared to where he was only two months ago. In February, he explained, Leak only concentrated on perfecting his own game and maintaining his own work ethic. Now Meyer wit- nesses his top quarterback "jump someone's tail" when he runs the wrong route. "Chris will find out he's a bet- ter player if the other guys hold up their end of the bargain," Meyer explained. "I mean, how could you not respond to Chris Leak?" GATORS, from page 24 BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME: The sidelines on Saturday looked like a reunion for former Gators greats. The likes of Danny Wuerffel, Chris Doering and Kerwin Bell were having a good laugh with UF's current players. "A former football player is not just a regular guy," Meyer said. "We encourage all those guys to come back. It doesn't take much either a phone call CONTROL, from page 22 or 37 cents for a stamp is all." The alumni haven't always felt so welcomed, though. "Even if I had the time, I would not have been around the program because Ron Zook was not a good coach," former UF defensive end Alex Brown told The Florida Times-Union. "I didn't like the way he did things, and I'm not the only for- mer player who felt that way." Doering, a former standout at wide receiver, revealed that it was actually Meyer who asked him to come back. unique and innovative." * Guess who's finally healthy and ready to break out? -The Marlins' Josh Beckett, the 2003 World Series MVP, is injury-free and playing like the phenom everyone expected to see last year.

Wuerffel, UF's quarterback during its 1996 championship season, thought this UF team could bring similar greatness. "There were a lot of points scored today," he said. "This of- fense sure is fun to watch. Am I still a Gator fan? Oh man, I'm as big as they come." career.

Today, baseball seems to have lost some of its charm, encountering one controversy after another. But one topic seems to get little attention, although there are a small but growing number of critics call- ing for its demise. . The ongoing debate as to whether aluminum bats used by every college team in the NCAA, lower-level minor league baseball teams, and high schools and Little League teams all around the nation - have enhanced or degraded the once-proud sport. Head-to-head matchup Aluminum bats were first in- troduced in 1974 to baseball at the collegiate (but not professional) level. Wooden bats were abandoned partially because many college pro- grams around the country could not afford to play with wood. Few certainties exist in this de- bate, but one of them is that wooden bats break much easier than their aluminum counterparts. "There are major differences between the two," UF coach Pat McMahon said. "Wood bats can be more difficult for a weaker hitter to- succeed with." If anyone knows about the sci- ence of hitting, it is UF assistant coach Tim Parenton. "It's easy to see that the sweet spot on aluminum bats is bigger by about 2.5 inches than on wood," he said. Critics of college baseball say that aluminum bats pad hitting sta- tistics and make for video game-like scores. Both UF coaches even agree that aluminum bats could, in fact, take a .250 hitter and make him into a .350 hitter. Sophomore catcher Brian Jeroloman has competed with both and revealed why he thinks the in- crease in averages occur. "If you get jammed with a wood- en bat, your bat will just break," Jeroloman said: "But if you get jammed with an aluminum bat you can still hit the ball out of the park." Bearing the aluminum cross Pro-aluminum and anti-alumi- num camps go far beyond just the fans. There are many spokesmen who are ardently for or against alu- minum, and the debate even reaches the nation's capital. Two of the most outspoken members of the anti- aluminum movement include Jack Mackay and Bill Thurston. Mackay, a former designer for Louisville Slugger one of the most successful bat companies in the, world worked there from 1986 until 1997 but left the company for intriguing reasons. "Little did I know that when I de- signed those bats that we would end up with-something that was simply lethal," Mackay said. A man on the inside of it all, Mackay resigned because he thought his company's product was becoming too dangerous. The demand for bats that could hit balls farther and faster caused him and an associate great concern. Thurston, currently Amherst College's baseball coach, was the former editor of the NCAA's base- ball rules committee. Thurston resigned after 14 years in that position because he felt the NCAA did not care enough about player safety. After being around baseball for more than a quarter. century, he feels the game is losing its tradition and sanctity. On the other side of the debate are the bat companies themselves. Rick Redman, the company spokes- man for Louisville Slugger, believes the facts just aren't there to incrimi- nate aluminum. "Aluminum bats have definitely enhanced the game of baseball," Redman said. "They help kids hit the ballbetter. Kids quit because they can't hit well enough. Aluminum bats let kids have more fun playing and help them from quitting." Redman firmly believes alumi- num bats are neither unsafe nor cheat the game of baseball. So do they make a big difference? An exhibition game seems to say yes. This spring, the Florida Marlins played the collegiate Miami Hurricanes in an exhibition match. To make it "even," the Hurricanes were allowed to use their aluminum bats while the Marlins used wood. The Marlins fell to the Hurricanes 9-7. Cincinnati Reds closer and for- mer Hurricane Danny. Graves also thinks aluminum makes a differ- ence. "I would never pitch to anyone with an aluminum bat. That's crazy," Graves told The Chicago Tribune. "I'd ask for the day off or I'd be like a slow-pitch softball player. Pitch, then run back 10 feet." NCAA conspiracy? From 1974 until 1998, the NCAA had no problem with aluminum bats. Then in 1998, things got out of hand. Southern California defeated Arizona State 21-14 in the College World Series Final. The Series saw a whopping 62 home runs in just 14 games. "That year, bats had become basi- cally like tennis rackets," McMahon said. The NCAA finally decreed that aluminum bats had become too powerful. Regulations dictated how aluminum bats could be made and regulated the Ball Exit Speed Ratio.. Bats had to be constructed so that balls did not come off faster than 97 mph. The critics were left unap- peased. Thurston said there was much more going on than the public knew about. "There are clear ties between the NCAA and the major bat com- panies," Thurston said. "I resigned -from ,my position because :'the' NCAA changed results and covered up data that made aluminum bats legal when they should have been made illegal." The purist even took the NCAA to court. Mackay, the former bat designer, also expressed his regrets. "Every time a kid gets hit by a ball from an aluminum bat they seem to get a fractured skull," Mackay said. "It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what we did was wrong." A dangerous game The debate over aluminum bats even caught the eye of politician Ralph. Nader. The activist created "League of Fans," a sports industry watchdog that works to expose un- ethical business practices. "The MLB would never allow aluminum bats because they don't want players and fans being killed or mutilated," League- of Fans Director Shawn McCarthy said. "These high-tech bats are not tools - they are weapons." Louisville Slugger maintains that their products are safe and.the evi-. dence against them is suspect. "There are people who are against aluminum and these people have vested interests of their own," Redman said. "Their arguments are based on anecdotal evidence and not facts." McCarthy believes it is the bat- ting cornpanie-. who have. these S\estEd interp-ests ,',' ; - "These companies give coaches free bats or tens of thousands of dol- lars a year," McCarthy said. The Consumer Product Safety Commission, in Washington, D.C., conducted experiments to see if aluminum bats posed more of a hazard. "I can't say that aluminum bats are more dangerous than wooden bats," CPSC Public Affairs Specialist Lizzie Garry said. "We don't have sufficient data to prove that. "As a mother there is danger as- sociated any time a ball and a bat are involved," she said. "I don't think the material of the bat matters that much." UF senior pitcher Tommy B6ss has spent a lot of time on the mound and would be first in line for anac- cident. "If you're scared of being hit as a pitcher, you're already beat," Boss said. "If you get hit, you just have to get the ball and tag the guy out at first. Then you can let it hurt. It's just part of the game." Constant tragedies The headlines are depressing. In 1997, an errant hit from an alumi- num bat killed a California child. In 1999, Oklahoma City high school pitcher Jeremy Brett's skull collapsed after a similar hit. He sued Louisville Slugger -and a jury award- ed him $100,000 on the grounds that the company '- product na-s unsafe Then there is the intriguing *torn of New York native Anthony Ricci: "He was playing third and the ball just came at him too fast," Anthony's mother, Jackie, said. "The ball tipped off his glove-and hit him in the mouth. 7 "He went to the emergency room and the accident has caused perma- nent damage. His [alveolar] ridge is fractured for the rest of his-life and his teeth are literally rotting in his mouth now." Despite such a 'horrific event, Jackie said her loved ones still play baseball. "I wished everyone would play with wood because of safety," she said. "But I have to admit that our family still uses aluminum bats." The current state Anthony has played:-baseball long enough to see the overall pic- ture. "Baseball is about more than just hitting home runs," Anthony said. It's about strategy, tradition- and teamwork. Aluminum bats just make selfish players who want to hit a home run every time they step up to the plate." Aluminum bats give fans the home runs and offensive outbursts they lust after, but Anthony said baseball might have lost something. "Aluminum bats are an enhance- ment that is unnecessary," Anthony said. "Sure, they add to each individual's skill level, but they take -away from the game as a whole."- Sports S TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 2005 ALLIGATOR www.alligatorSports.org Leak continues to improve as leader By BRYAN APP Alligator Staff Writer bapp@ali gator.org Junior Dallas Baker can remember the first time he felt the wrath of Chris Leak. During a January workout, the wide receiver tried to steal a cheap-.chuckle at Leak's ex- pense by pouring water in the unwitting quarterback's shoes. "That was the first time I actually really heard him talk," Baker said. "He wasn't too up- set about it. He was laughing. "He laughs a lot. It's easy to get Chris to laugh." But Coach Urban Meyer, for one, doesn't find Leak's quiet, easygoing nature too humorous. If the Gator Nation would've elected a president at the beginning of spring practices, it's safe to say Meyer wouldn't have cast a ballot for his offensive ace. "There's a misunderstand- ing of what leadership is," said Meyer following Saturday's Orange and Blue Game. "Chris Leak [was] an extremely poor leader when I first got here." ,aOTo Meyer, leadership isn't studying game film and playbooks like a molecular engineer. To Meyer, leader- ship is more than leading the Southeastern Conference in passing in a first full season as Nick West/ Alligator Staff Quarterback Chris Leak is the arm that runs UF's offense. Behind the scenes, however, Leak has worked to shed his quiet nature and become a more vocal leader. a starter. "The supreme function of a leader is to set a standard and make sure everyone lives up to that standard, and he wasn't leading," Meyer said. "He was living right, but he wasn't be- ing a good leader." On the field, Meyer needed a player to get in the heads of his teammates by getting in their faces. Off the field, he sought an enforcer for his "Live Right" policy to curb the embarrassing trend of late- night altercations the Gators suffered the last two seasons. Leak provided neither.

After Saturday's Orange and Blue Game, Washington's name only appeared on the stats sheet once: showing he was a starter for the Orange squad. However for Meyer, leadership means so much more than an impressive box score. "A leader is a guy who sets the example and gets everyone else to live up to it,", Meyer said.Washington is a very unlikely candidate for the job, as he has only started two games in his career at UF.
