Just more than a week ago, Christina
Pitcher and Ashley Renee Mills, both 22,
were two UF students excited to spend
Spring Break at the beach soaking up sun
at Pitcher's home in Pompano Beach.
But on the nearly five-hour drive
south from Gainesville on March 10, the
two women died after a crash in St. Lucie
County, when Pitcher's

Their two roommates at the Royal
Village complex, Ashley Glenn, a 22-
year-old UF alumna, and Meghan
Connor, a UF animal sciences senior, said
the two were excited about their trip.
Glenn said the two of them over-
packed, with Mills bringing seven pairs
of shoes with her.
Mills was a journalism senior, and
Pitcher was a rehabilitative sciences
senior.
Before leaving for the break, the four
said their goodbyes even though they
planned to meet in Pompano Beach four
days later, Glenn and Connor said.
"It's weird to look back on things
they said before leaving," Connor said.
Glenn agreed. She said Pitcher

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Court rules against Pants
The Student Government
Supreme Court ruled that the
Pants Party violated SG election
law in the spring elections but
hasn't determined how the party
- and its lone victor will be
punished.
The penalties the party faces in-
dude the possible disqualification
of Pants' Alan Passman, who was
elected to the Student Senate.
The party's fate will be decided
in a meeting Tuesday, the court's
Chief Justice Jessica Gavrich said.
It will be held at noon at the Levin
College of Law's library.
According to the court's opin-
'on, released March 12, the five jus-
tices agreed with the SG Elections
Commission, which determined
that Pants violated an election
code by handing out "I Voted"
stickers to students, some of whom
hadn't actually voted. The justices
believed these stickers influenced
voter turnout.
The code states that no candi-
date should give any benefit tostu-
dents that could influence votes.
The court also agreed that Pants
violated other rules because the
stickers were "unauthorized cam-
paign material," according to the
opinion.
The opinion states that the "I
Voted" stickers should be consid-
ered campaign material because
they were handed out to "satirize
the current practices of Student
Government and to further their
stated platform that 'SG SUCKS.'"
It also states that the stickers
weren't authorized as campaign
material because they didn't
contain the words "paid political
advertisement."
John Clayton Brett, a former
student senator and a Gator Party
supporter, brought the complaints
about Pants' use of the stickers to
the commission.
Gator won 44 of the 47 open
Senate seats and all three executive
positions in the elections.

IRAQ WAR

Local activists join in national anti-war protest

By DOMINIQUE McPHERSON
Alligator Contributing Writer

A latex-faced president de-
manded to be impeached on a lo-
cal street corner this weekend.
Joining thousands of other pro-
testers nationwide, about 20 anti-
war activists made their stand on
the corer of Southwest 34th Street
and Archer Road on Saturday.
UF agricultural engineering
professor Dennis Shuman, showed
his disapproval for the president
and the Iraq war by wearing a
George W. Bush mask and saying,
"Please impeach me before I hurt
many more people," to passing
motorists.
"Who knows if this will make a
difference," he said, "but at least I
tried."
The protests in Gainesville and
nationwide coincided with the
four-year anniversary"of the U.S.-
led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
The local protesters said they
couldn't make it to Washington,
D.C., but still wanted to show
their support for the national day
of protest.
The group of mostly middle-
aged people drew both cheers and
jeers from passing cars.
One man shouted, "Dirty hip-

pie, get a job!" from his car win-
dow at Joe Courter, a protester and
a founding member of the Civic
Media Center.
Holding signs reading "Honk
for peace" and "Bush is an inter-
national terrorist," the group of
mostly independent activists stood
in the cool afternoon for nearly
two hours while people honked
their car horns, revved their en-
gines and yelled at them from the
road.
"Who knows if this will
make a difference, but at
least I tried."
Dennis Shuman
protester/UF professor

While the majority of people
passing the protest showed ap-
proval, some motorists held up
their middle fingers to the protest-
ers as they-passed.
One woman recycled her sign's
slogan from one used during pro-
tests for the Vietnam War nearly
half a century ago: "War is not
healthy for children and other liv-
ing things."
Some of protesters hold signs
regularly every other Tuesday
and Thursday on the corer of
University Avenue and Northwest

13th Street and on the corer of
Southwest 34th Street and Archer
Road.

Several plan to hold another
protest on Tuesday at the same
location.

There will also be a student-
led protest on the Reitz Union
Colonnade at 1 p.m. on Tuesday.

Kerry to hold forum at UF

By JOEY CHINDAMO
Alligator Writer
jchindamo@alligator.org

Sen. John Kerry will host a town hall
forum on UF's campus Thursday, and stu-
dent tickets for the event will be available
beginning Tuesday.
Accent, UF's speakers bureau, is spon-
soring the event, which will be held in the
University Auditorium at 3 p.m.
UF students and faculty can pick up the
free tickets at the Phillips Center for the
Performing Arts with a Gator 1 Card be-
tween noon and 6 p.m. Tickets for the gen-
eral public will be available on Wednesday
at the Phillips Center from noon to 6 p.m.

Andrew Brown, chairman of Accent,
said the overwhelming demand to attend
comedian Mo Rocca's January visit to UF
prompted the need for tickets.
Although the auditorium only holds
867 people, it was chosen as
On a venue because of schedul-
Catmpus ing conflicts, Brown said.
Instead of delivering a stan-
dard speech, Kerry wanted to have a town
hall-styled forum with students, Brown
said.
"(Kerry) wanted to have a dialogue
with students," he said. "Discussions are
more productive than the straight lecture."
Kerry is not being paid for his appear-
ance, Brown said.

Mayor gives birth to boy

* HE IS HER SECOND CHILD.

By DREW HARWELL

dharwell@alligator.org

Telling himhe's the heir to Gainesville's
throne would be overdoing it.
A goo-goo-gah-gah should suffice.
Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan, 40, with
husband Tony Malone present, gave birth
to their second child on Friday.
The baby, Quinn Joseph Malone, was
delivered at 4:19 p.m. at North Florida
Regional Medical Center, said Debra
Hireise, Hanrahan's executive assistant.
"He's beautiful," she said about the
baby. "Quinn's been an absolute angel."
His birth was a relief to Hanrahan and
Malone, Hireise said. The 9-pound, 2-
ounce baby was about two weeks late of
his initial due date March 3.

"Babies that come late are a little bit
more done," Hirneise said.
She added that Hanrahan's other child,
an 18-month-old girl named Evyleen, was
born a week and a half before her due
date.
Himeise said she
Expects Hanrahan may
be back to her may-
oral seat in City Hall in
about 4 to 6 weeks, al-
though the mayor has
made .herself available
by phone whenever
Hanrahan she's needed.
Hanrahan, a
Gainesville native, earned UF degrees in
sociology and environmental engineering
before being elected mayor in 2004.
Hanrahan and Malone, a civil engi-
neer, met in 1995. The couple married in
2003 and gave birth to Evyleen in 2005.

Machen, committee suggests dropping early decision

* THE DEADLINE WOULD BE
IN NOVEMBER.

By JOEY CHINDAMO
Alligator Writer
jchindamo@alligator.org

UF President Bernie Machen
wants to get rid of the university's
early decision admissions program,
and a committee of UF's highest
governing body agreed at a meeting
on March 9.
The Board of Trustees'
Committee on Educational Policy
and Strategy recommended a new

system with only one deadline for
future applicants to the university.
The current system has three dif-
ferent application deadlines early
decision, regular decision I and
regular decision II.
The early decision deadline is
typically in early October, and the
regular decision deadlines are in
November and January, respec-
tively.
Applicants applying early have
to enter into a binding contract with
the university that requires them to
attend if they are accepted. They
also must withdraw their applica-
tions to other colleges if they are

accepted.
Of the 15,935 freshman ap-
plicants for the fall 2006 semester,
4,462 applied with the early deci-
sion option, according to university
statistics.
UF Of those,
.:..'. N :;." ; ::" ... :. 2,273 were
admitted.
UF admits 6,600 students total
to each freshman class, said Zina
Evans, UF's director of admissions.
The proposed deadline for
applications would be in early
November, and applicants would
receive the university's decision by
February, Evans said.

Evans designed the recom-
mended policy with Provost Janie
Fouke and said the current policy is
hampered by limitations.
"Students are only allowed to
apply in the context of one of those
deadlines, so they're only compet-
ing against that pool others who
have applied to the same deadline,"
Evans said.
Evans said there isn't an oppor-
tunity for the Office of Admissions
to review the entire pool of appli-
cants and "make some sound deci-
sions about admissions based on the
quality of the entire pool."
Evans described the current

system as "anxiety-producing" for
applicants because the perceptions
about the different deadlines' ac-
ceptance rates can influence which
deadline they choose.
The recommended plan would
not only allow applicants more time
to put together their applications,
but also allow them to use their
December SAT and ACT test scores,
Evans said.
If the plan is adopted, it won't be
unique to UF. Evans said November
application deadlines are in place at
the universities of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill, Virginia and California
at Berkeley.

UF student attacked while working at adult store

By JESSICA PONN
Alligator Writer

A 21-year-old UF student is recovering
from major blood loss and a throat laceration
after a Gainesville man cut her with a razor
knife on March 9.
According to a police report from the
Alachua County Sheriff's Office, the victim was
working at the adult store French Addiction
when 20-year-old Kevin E. Williams, a store
customer, violently attacked her.
Williams entered the store, located at 819
W. University Ave., and asked the victim

questions about CDs located in the back of the
store, according to the report.
When the victim went to retrieve the CDs,
Williams shoved her into a bathroom in the
rear of the store, according to the report.
"I screamed at the top of my lungs," she
said in an interview Sunday. "I screamed and I
screamed and I started fighting."
The victim hoped that since the store's door
was propped open, someone might hear her
cries for help and try to rescue her.
She said she believes Williams did not ini-
tially intend to cut her but was surprised by
her resistance.
After Williams forced her to start taking

off her clothes, he abruptly walked out of the
bathroom. Before fleeing the store, he warned
the victim that he would
kill her if she tried to leave,
according to the report.
It is unclear why he fled,
but the victim has a theory.
"Looking at me and see-
ing me bleed really freaked
him out," she said. "He
Name didn't know what to do. He
just felt like he had to get
out of there."
The victim left the store after she felt safe
and began asking pedestrians to help her.

She suffered major blood loss and was tak-
en into emergency surgery at Shands at U.
Two witnesses, along with a surveillance
camera from a nearby Taco Bell, identified
Williams as he ran from the store.
He was arrested at 11:30 p.m. and charged
with attempted murder and attempted sexual
battery.
After authorities read Williams his rights,
he admitted to'the crimes, according to the
report.
Store owner Mary Jane Brunel said the
incident was the first time an employee had
been victimized in the 22 years she has been
in business.

Reality shows inspire rhythm quest among locals

* A UF PROFESSOR IS AMONG
THOSE WHO'VE CAUGHT THE BUG.

By YUDISLAIDY FERNANDEZ
Alligator Contributing Writer

Janice Edge said she doesn't mind the
one-hour drive to Gainesville because when
she arrives she gets to attend her evening
cha-cha class.
The Putnam County resident, who had
no prior dance experience, was motivated
to take dance classes after watching ABC's
"Dancing with the Stars." In the show, celeb-
rities are paired up with professional dancers
for a chance to win a competition. Its new
season premieres tonight.
Edge, 58, has been attending Imperial
Dance.Studio, on 34th Street, for a year. She
takes classes three to four times a week.
"I like the bolero, cha-cha, waltz, rumba
- those are my most favorite," she said.
After watching "Dancing with the Stars,"
she got the bug for dancing and contacted lo-
cal dance schools. She called several studios
in the area, and Imperial Dance Studio owner
Maria Alvarez was the only one to reply.
During the day, Alvarez serves as a senior
financial aid officer at UF and in the evenings

as a dance instructor to students who have
been coming to her venue for more than two
decades to let loose.
Alvarez took over the establishment in
1981 and for almost three decades has been
teaching those who claim to have two left
feet.
At 13, Alvarez immigrated to the United
States from Cuba during Operation Peter
Pan, an effort to bring children of Cuban par-
ents who opposed communism to the United
States, and she knew since then she wanted
to be a dancer. In 1969, she made Gainesville
her home. Soon after, encouraged by her
friends, she opened up her own studio.
About 50 students attend the ballroom
dancing group lessons offered Mondays,
Tuesday and Wednesdays. In ballroom
dancing, students learn the techniques and
patterns of smooth and Latin dance styles.
UF students can also take some of the
studio's classes as leisure courses, which are
noncredit classes offered each semester.
"Dancing takes time and money, but it
brings pleasure to people," she said.
Since she's opened the studio, Alvarez
has seen dance trends come and go just like
fashion fads, she-said. In the '70s, "Saturday
Night Fever" brought bell-bottoms and
trouser suits to the catwalk and disco moves

to the dance floor. Then, "Grease" revived
poodle skirts and leather jackets and gave
swing a boost in popularity at dance clubs.
The current trends are salsa, merengue, waltz
and tango, Alvarez said.
UF math professor David Groisser has
been taking lessons for 18 years. He always
thought dancing looked neat in the movies,
and after taking his first lessons he discov-
ered he really liked it.
"Dancing takes time and money,
but it brings pleasure to people."
Maria Alvarez
Imperial Dance Studio owner

Groisser's dance preferences have
changed with the years. The waltz and the
cha-cha, a flirtatious dance made up of triple
steps and rock steps, have been at the top of
his list. But the foxtrot, a dance based on a
pattern of quick and slow steps, has recently
become his favorite.
After years of dancing, Groisser still con-
siders himself a student. He said he is still
not comfortable with some steps, but years of
practice have helped him improve.
He said shows like "Dancing with the
Stars" are increasing dancing's popularity,

but he said the program often uses music that
is not appropriate for a specific style.
"They are picking songs that are not ap-
propriate for that particular dance," he said.
"For me, I love songs that say, 'I have to dance
cha-cha to that song.'"
Other networks are experimenting with
the dance-show formula. Fox has "So You
Think You Can Dance," NBC has "Grease:
You're The One That I Want" and the
Spanish-language network Univision has
a show called "Bailando por un Suefio"
(Dancing for a Dream).
Unlike the shimmering, revealing dresses
women wear on theTV shows, the attire at
local studios is casual clothes and dancing
shoes that provide support and comfort.
Erin Scarcelli, a UF math graduate student,
has been taking dance classes since August.
She said the jazz techniques she learned
performing with her high school's color
guard have helped her learn dances such as
the cha-cha and the tango.
"You really have to learn how to anticipate
a step and be receptive," she said.
The beginning was difficult for Scarcelli,
23, who felt she was counting and stepping
instead of dancing.
"I'm always afraid about falling, but I
have not fallen yet," she said.

Easy decision

UF should ditch early

decision
Most of us had already skipped town to hit the beaches
and the bars, but for UF administrators it was busi-
ness as usual the Friday before Spring Break. The
UF Board of Trustees met to discuss ending its early decision
admission option.
Currently, UF has three application deadlines: early deci-
sion, regular decision I and regular decision II. It divides up
6,600 seats for incoming students between these three groups.
That means that some strong applicants might not be accepted
if they are in the pool with stronger students even though
they may have been accepted if they'd been in one of the other.
applicant pools.
But Zina Evans, UF's admissions director, and Provost
Janie Fouke proposed a new policy that would have just one
application deadline in November. Then, all the applicants
would be competing against all the other applicants.
Of course, that's a plus. But there are a plethora of other
problems with early decision, so we're glad UF is working to
get rid of it.
Early decision at UF is binding, which means if someone
is accepted, he or she is bound by contract to attend UF.
And students learn if they've been admitted before they are
given a financial aid package. One reason Harvard University
is eliminating its early action policy next year is to level the
playing field for lower-income applicants. Several other uni-
versities followed suit.
It only makes sense for UF to do the same. Sure, our uni-
versity is not as pricey as Harvard. But all students should
have an equal shot at acceptance, regardless of their financial
situation. And UF is a pretty selective school only about a
quarter of it's applicants are accepted. More top universities
should eliminate this policy to show they are serious about
equality for all applicants.
And applyingearly doesn't increase your chances of being
accepted all that much. Only a little more than a third of in-
coming class is admitted early and only about a fifth of UF's
applicants apply early. What's the point of keeping a program
designed to give students an edge in the admissions process if
it really doesn't do that?
In fact, some argue that if a student isn't of the highest
caliber, applying early may actually hurt his or her chances of
being admitted. Often, the students who apply early already
have very high test scores and they apply early because
they don't need to take the tests multiple times to boost their
scores.
And that leads to another problem: Because the deadline is
earlier than regular decision, students who apply early have
less time to take the SAT and ACT. Some students may miss
out on an opportunity to boost their scores. The proposed plan
would allow all students equal time to take these tests, which
would make the applicant pool more competitive.
Plus, students who apply early but aren't admitted often
have to make a mad rush to meet application deadlines for
other schools. Many students may feel pretty confident that
they'll be admitted, but when they aren't, it's devastating.
How hard would it be to send out applications just days after
you've found out you were rejected from your top choice? We
doubt it would be a walk in the park.
We hope UF follows through with its plan to eliminate ear-
ly decision. A one-deadline program would make the entire
admissions process more fair for all students, and UF would
have the strongest possible freshman class.

insider protesting's consequences
Consider protesting's consequences

students for a Democratic Society has organized a war
protest to be held tomorrow. It hopes students cam-
puswide will leave their classrooms at 1 p.m. to gather
on the Reitz Union Colonnade. According to the group's
blog, dozens of universities across the country will follow
suit.
The number of opponents of the war in Iraq seems to
increase every day. Many draw comparisons between it and
the war in Vietnam and lament the lessons we've forgotten
from that trying episode in American history.
The day before a college campus war protest seems like
the perfect time to bring to light a lesson from Vietnam that
most of us never learned.
Bui Tin was a North Vietnamese colonel and a cose fam-
ily friend of Ho Chi Minh. He accepted South Vietnam's
surrender after the United States' forces left. Sick of com-
munism by 1990, Tin decided to move to Paris to live in
exile.
In a Wall Street Journal interview, Tin said, of the anti-
war movement in America, "It was essential-to our strat-
egy," and that "through dissent and protest (America) lost
the ability to mobilize a will to win."
Tin quoted Nguyen Chi Thanh, a former general of the
North Vietnamese Army, as saying, "America is wealthy
but not resolute."
Once it was evident from protests that the sentiment in
America turned against the war, Tin said, "We realized that
America had made its maximum military commitment to
the war. ... We had stretched American power to a breaking
point."
Our anti-war demonstrations can actually encourage the
other side to keep fighting.
We would also do well to heed the words of another
important figure from the Vietnam era. David Horowitz
helped organize the first campus demonstration against the
war at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1962. He is

now a conservative pundit.
In a 2001 column, he said the
first effect of the movement was
to "prolong the war" by giving
'. hope to the otherwise hopeless
-. North Vietnamese army. The pro-
tests demonstrated the Americans'
Patrick Barrett 'desire to withdraw, which would
letters@alligator.org make the North Vietnamese vic-
torious.
Horowitz said the second result
of the anti-war movement he helped create was South
Vietnam's descent into communism. This "resulted in
the imposition of a monstrous police state, the murder of
hundreds of thousands of innocent South Vietnamese, the
incarceration in re-education camps of hundreds of thou-
sands more, and a quarter of a century of abject poverty."
In this way, protesters looking to end the war may have
instead contributed to Vietnamese suffering for several
decades.
The issue is not your right to protest but the responsibil-
ity associated with that right. While public dissent should
always be legal, it is not always wise. Carefully consider the
practical outcome of any demonstration before you join.
No matter how you feel about this war, protesting it
now will only make it last longer. The insurgents in Iraq
would not keep sacrificing themselves if they held no hope
of victory. They draw that hope from the American anti-war
movement.
There is a time for protest. But this war has already start-
ed, and we can't change the past. Young people just like you
and me are already over there fighting. Do not harden the
resolve of their enemies. Do not prolong this war. Do not
participate in tomorrow's protest.

Greeks

bowl, step

dance for

charity

* MORE THAN 11 TEAMS
DANCED IN THE CONTEST.

By JASON SILVER
Alligator Contributing Writer

Before UF's Greek community
took off for Spring Break, it packed
into a bowling alley and a down-
town dance club to raise money for
charities.
There was standing room only
at the Kappa Delta Sorority's sec-
ond annual Shamrock and Bowl
on March 8. More than 40 teams
representing Greek chapters com-
peted.
Georgia Buckhalter, Kappa
Delta's president, said more than
$10,000 was raised for Prevent
Child Abuse America, a national
organization that works to stop
child abuse and neglect.
Steven Schneider, a
Greek member of Tau Epsilon
Speak Phi Fraternity's team,
said the event was his
favorite Greek philanthropy so far.
"This event has been a lot dif-
ferent than others I've been to in
the past," he said. "This place is
packed, and I'm having a great
time supporting a good cause."
The Tau Kappa Epsilon
Fraternity held its "2 Step" line-
dance competition and step show
with members of UF's National
Pan-Hellenic Council, a group of
predominantly -black sororities
and fraternities, at Mojitos on
March 6.
Andrew Shapiro, Tau Kappa
Epsilon's president, said 11 teams
competed and more than 350
people attended.
More than $2,500 was raised for
Alzheimer's disease prevention
and Project Haiti, an organization
that provides medical assistance
for the country's children, Shapiro
said.
He added that he was im-
pressed with the event's success in
its first year.
"I thought it was great to see it
succeed the first time we did it," he
said. "It's good to raise awareness
for these kinds of causes."
He said the competition and
step show were unique because
the two Greek councils the
National Pan-Hellenic Council
and the Interfraternity Council,
which his fraternity belongs to
- came together.
"The fact that we teamed up
with NPHC was something differ-
ent and special," he said.

Fraternity

ideas for new clubs in Gainesville.
Sinopoli's three-day market
research trip, which included club
expenses, hotel stay, airfare and
food, cost about $2,000, an expense
he will file in his taxes as business-
related.
"To do it big, to do it the right
way, you've got to spend that kind
of money," Sinopoli said.
Sinopoli's research began at
PURE Nightclub, but his real
findings occurred the
Student second night, at the
_-_ -" nightclub Tryst in the
Wynn Las Vegas ca-
sino resort.
At the cub, Sinopoli was bom-
barded with new ideas while his
eyes darted back and forth between
elegant red crushed velvet couches,
extravagant lamps and mirrors
on the walls. On the patio near
the dance floor, tables were set up
around a 50-foot waterfall.
"It was so detailed," Sinopoli
said. "It seemed like they hand-
picked everything."
A line of about 600 people
crowded the club's entrance, but
Sinopoli and his friends skipped
ahead because they had made res-
ervations.
Marc. Adam, a UF alumnus
who graduated in December, went
with Sinopoli, his roommate, to
Tryst. Adam had been in Las Vegas
before, but it was his first time at

Tryst.
"It was high-energy," Adam
said. "It was crazy. But for Vegas,
this was the classiest place to go."
Although Sinopoli can still envi-
sion the velvety couches and the
gigantic waterfall, the end of his
night at Tryst is blurry. The same
haziness clouds his first night at
PURE Nightclub.
"Around 1:30, 1:40 (a.m.), usu-
ally that's your peak of partying
and drinking in Gainesville, but
at these places it's really just the
beginning," Sinopoli said.
Most of Sinopoli's nights ended
at 5 or 6 a.m., when he returned to
his $600-a-night hotel room at the
Venetian Resort Hotel Casino, a
room he shared with two friends.
After a short recovery in his
bed, he spent most of the afternoon
lounging by the pool. He said even
the trip from his room to the pool
was an adventure, one he could
choose to take by gondola. Canals
flowed throughout the hotel, which
resembed Venice, and residents
could ride to their destinations by
boat. With restaurants, shopping
and other entertainment, the hotel
was an attraction in itself, he said.
"You get lost a lot, so I ended
up exploring not by choice," he
said.
After about eight hours of sleep
over three high-energy days in
Las Vegas, Sinopoli flew back to
Gainesville, took a quick nap, re-
packed his bags and left Tuesday
for a cruise to the Bahamas.

Unlike the posh nightclubs in
Las Vegas, Sinopoli spent his nights
in the Bahamas at rickety bars filled
with a younger crowd of spring-
breakers.
-"You go out in Las Vegas, and
everyone is snooty," Sinopoli said.

Head lawyer for UF has a passion for painting

By KIMBERLY FULSCHER
Alligator Contributing Writer

In 1979, UF attorney Jamie Lewis
Keith had a choice.
With a bachelor's degree in art his-
tory and concentrations in Asian studies
and Chinese from Comell University,
she could have continued to work at the
Museum of Fine Arts in Boston or gone
to law school. She opted for the Boston
University School of Law, a choice that
28 years later put her in Gainesville
earning $245,000 a year as UF's vice
president and general counsel.
"Who would have thought that an
art history and Asian studies student
would become a lawyer?" Keith said
with a laugh.
SAfter law school, Keith was an as-
sociate and then a junior partner for the
Boston law firm Hale and Dorr. She later
worked for former Massachusetts Gov.
William F Weld's administration as the
general counsel for the Massachusetts
Division of Capital Asset Management
in Boston.
Before UF, Keith was the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology's
chief lawyer and the managing director
for risk management and environmen-

tal programs.
As the head of UF's legal affairs,
Keith doesn't interact with the students
on a regular basis yet, but she's met with
Student Body President John Boyles to
discuss student goals and to find ways
to help students.
"One of the things I love about uni-
versities are the students the limitless
potential there," Keith said. "This uni-
versity is right in the middle of all the
issues facing the world today."
In addition to her UF duties, Keith
has served since 2004 as a board mem-
ber for the Council on Governmental
Relations, which represents more than
200 research universities and academic
medical centers in Washington.
When she's not busy with a lead-
ing university's legal intricacies,
Keith spends time with her husband,
Matthew, who owns the business
PenFact Inc., and their 15-year-old son,
Will.
Keith winds down from her busy
schedule by painting with oils and
watercolor, but she is modest about
her art.
"I decided in high school that I
would never be Matisse," she said with
a laugh.

coma for nearly 24 hours, said his father, Tony Poynter. He
added that the emergency medical technician report stated
that his son was wearing a seat belt. Though he is no longer in
intensive care, Poynter is still unable to move his left arm and
legs, his father said.
Poynter met Pitcher at a concert in December, Glenn said,
and he was nervously gearing up to meet Pitcher's parents for
the first time the night before they left.
Near mile marker 162 on the Florida Turnpike, traffic
slowed for a single-vehicle crash, which caused Pitcher to
slow down, Allen said. Martin Saft, 62, did not see Pitcher's
2006 Chevrolet Equinox slow and rear-ended it with his
Acura, Allen said. The crash caused a chain reaction that in-
volved four other vehicles, he said.
Saft and his wife, Sandra, suffered "incapacitating inju-
ries," while the eight people in the four other vehicles left the
scene with bumps and bruises, Allen said.
Pitcher's funeral service was held at St. Coleman's Catholic
Church in Pompano Beach on March 15. Connor said the ser-
vice was a nontraditional celebration of Christina Pitcher's
life, where friends and family shared memories. John Pitcher,

Christina's father, said about 300 people attended. He said it
was overwhelming to see how many lives his daughter had
touched.
"All I can think of at this point is how much I unbelievably
loved her and how she helped me," he said.
Mills' service was held two days later in Jacksonville at
Hardage Giddens Funeral Home, said her mother, Carolyn
Williams. During the service, a slideshow of pictures was
shown, along with a video of Mills skydiving and two com-
mercials she starred in when she was 3 and 4 years old. An
album of articles she had written as an intern for the Beaches
Leader and the Alligator was on display, Connor said.
Williams said her daughter's curious nature made her a
good reporter.
"It's such a tragedy to lose her, but I'm sure she's inter-
viewing Elvis right now," Williams said. "Maybe she's found
out who the father of Anna Nicole's baby is."
Glenn said she remembers Mills best from a time when
she came home to find her prancing around the apartment
in a bumblebee costume. Glenn and Connors agreed that the
funny stories.are what they would always remember.
"It's hard to be sad because every story is ridiculous, but
that's when reality hits," Connor said. "There aren't going to
be anymore stories."

UF BASEBALL

Gators drop first SEC series despite hitting barrage

By MIKE MCCALL.
S Alligator Writer

If the UF baseball team's series
with Mississippi State is any indi-
cation, the Gators' Southeastern
Conference schedule will be a
two-month-long fireworks show.
The Gators and Bulldogs
opened conference play with a
dizzying offensive display, com-
bining for 66 runs the most in
a Gators series since 2005 against
Kentucky and 91 hits.
All three games were decided
by three runs or less, and when
the smoke cleared, Mississippi
State (12-4, 2-1 SEC) took two of
three, clinching the series with a
14-13 shootout win on Sunday.
"We knew Mississippi State
was a great offensive ballclub," UF
coach Pat McMahon said. "With
the wind blowing out all series,
a lot of the balls in the air have a
chance to get out of the ballpark,
and (McKethan Stadium) can play
very small on those days."
UF (11-12, 1-2 SEC) benefited
from timely hitting, scoring 16 of
its weekend runs with two outs.
"From that perspective, there
are a lot of positive things going
on in spite of the loss," McMahon
said.
Part of the reason for the
Gators' offensive explosion was
the performance of Brian Leclerc,
who was hitting a paltry .135
before the series. The senior out-
fielder put an end to his slump,

batting 10 for 13 and more than
doubling his average to .300.
Leclerc also had seven RBI and
scored four runs.
"I know when it comes to the
SEC that they need me here, as a
senior and a three-year starter,"
Leclerc said. "I just wanted to do
anything I could to help the team
win."
"With the wind blowing out
all series, a lot of the balls
in the air have a chance to
get out of the ballpark, and
(McKethan Stadium) can
play very small on those
days."
Pat McMahon
UF coach

The Gators trailed 12-9 in the
sixth inning Sunday when senior
Austin Pride sent a pitch over the
left-field wall to cut the Bulldogs
lead to two. Pride finished the
day 3 for 4 with four RBI and two
runs.
Trailing 14-12 in the ninth,
UF junior Bryson Barber led off
the inning with a pinch-hit home
run to pull the Gators within
one, but junior first baseman
Mitch Moreland took the mound
for Mississippi State and retired
the next three batters to earn the
save.
On Friday, the Bulldogs took
advantage of five UF errors and

scored nine runs on nine hits in
the seventh inning to secure a 12-9
victory. Senior Steven Porter gave
up four of those runs and earned

the loss while recording just one
out.
UF answered with a 10-8 win
on Saturday behind 17 hits at

least one by each starter and six
innings from sophomore pitcher
Stephen Locke, who earned his
first SEC win since 2005.

UF caps undefeated season

* THE GATORS STILL DROPPED TO
NO. 2 IN THE RANKINGS.

By RACHEL ROBINS
Alligator Writer
rrobins@alligator.org

Only Melanie Sinclair was perfect dur-
ing the regular season, but now the rest of
UF's No. 2 gymnastics team (15-0-1, 5-0-1
Southeastern Conference) can share her
achievement.
With the Gators victory Friday against
Michigan State 197.675 to 195.375, the
team went undefeated for the first time
since 1985.
The only blemish on UF's record was a
tie at then-No.2 Georgia in late January.
"In all honesty, it didn't register," UF
coach Rhonda Faehn said. "That's a huge
accomplishment, and it just goes to show,
these athletes they work so hard and
it's just nice for them to be able to see that
all their work has paid off so far. We (still)
have a lot of work ahead of us."
Even though UF defeated both Utah and
Boise State in dual meets last week, it lost
its No. 1 ranking to the Bulldogs. Georgia
moved up in the polls after crushing No. 11
Michigan by a score of 197.875-196.5.
The Gators could regain the top rank-
ing since Georgia did not compete during
the weekend. The ranking would follow it
into the SEC Championships, beginning
,March 31.
Gorey Hartung will enter in the confer-
ence championships with a boost in con-
fidence after capturing the all-around title

Friday for the first time this season.
"I have to believe I can do it again," she
said. "Even tonight I had a few mistakes. I
know I can do a little bit better. That gives
me more confidence so I can do better."
Hartung's victory was bittersweet be-
cause it was the final appearance in the
O'Connell Center for five UF gymnasts.
The five seniors were honored after the
competition and emotions were on over-
load.
.... "Of course, (I cried),"
senior Samantha Lutz
said. "My mom was
worse, though."
For Lutz's last ap-
pearance in Gainesville,
she dazzled the crowd
with a collegiate-best
Hartung performance on the un-
even bars with a score
of 9.925. After fighting for a spot in the
lineup all season, it was all worth it at that
moment.
"It was awesome," Lutz said. "I feel like
my bars have gotten just a little bit better in
almost every competition so far this year.
It just felt great to get out there and hit all
the things that I've been working on for the
entire season."
It was extra poignant for Faehn, as the
seniors compose her first recruiting ef-
forts at UF. Despite their competition time
decreasing, Faehn assures that these gym-
nasts have a crucial role on the team.
"They are the stability," Faehn said.
"They are extremely consistent. Our se-
niors are the strength and the backbone."

Men finish 4th at NCAAs

By SCOTT ROSEN
Alligator Writer

Don't call it a comeback.
They've been here for years.
Marking it's third consecutive
top-five finish, the eighth-ranked UF
men's swimming team finished fourth
at the NCAA Championships.
In the eight years under Coach
Gregg Troy, the team has accumulated
a total of four top-five finishes and
never placed lower than ninth.
"I couldn't be more proud of our
guys," Troy said. "A lot of people
were down on us heading into this
season, but we took a lot of pride in
what we did, and we hung together.
We have a fantastic coaching staff that
really gave all they had to get these
guys prepared, and I just want to
thank them for their work."
Juniors Tobias Work and Grant
Johnson jump-started the final eve-
ning of competition for the Gators
with season- and career-best perfor-
mances, respectively, in the 1,650-me-
ter freestyle.
Work finished 10th with a time of
15:02.52, good enough for his second
career All-American honor. Johnson's
time of 15:12.04 was good enough for
19th.
"Tobias was sick at a really crucial

point of the year, and he is one of the
prime examples of the way we rallied
as a team," Troy said. "He raced hard
tonight and gave us all he had."
The Gators' best event of the final
day was the 200 breaststroke, where
seniors Bill Mrazek and Luca De
Matteis and sophomore Bradley Ally
all collected All-American honors.
Mrazek led the trio with a time of
1:55.37, good enough for fifth place
and the fastest time in UF history.
Ally finished less
than half a second
Behind Mrazek, plac-
ing sixth.
Swimming De Matteis' 10th-
place finish gave
him his third All-American title in
the event with a career-best time of
1:56.51.
All three swimmers' times broke
the previous school record of 1:56.53.
"Our breaststroke swimmers could
not have put together a better perfor-
mance at such a key time," Troy said.
"The fact that three guys broke the
school record is a testament to their
will and desire, and shows how hard
they've worked. It was a great way for
two seniors to go out."
The Gators collected a total of 41
All-American honors, the most since
gathering 42 in 2001.

Free throws key to victory against Purdue, UF to take on Butler Friday

HOOPS, from page 1

fist pump after his defensive ef-
fort forced the Boilermakers to call
timeout.
Horford took time to look at his
flexed muscles after he was fouled
on a banked jump shot.
"I've been doing that for awhile
now," Horford said. "When I do a
physical play, I've, got to do some-
thing."
Neither team shot the ball par-
ticularly well. UF shot 36.4 percent
in the first half, and both teams
failed to reach 30 percent from the
3-point line the Gators relied on

hustle plays.to survive.
"We got all the loose balls and all
the rebounds at the end of the game
and that's why we came out victori-
ous," Brewer said. -
UF coach Billy Donovan said
experience wasn't a major reason
why UF pulled out the win, but
the Gators' previous tournament
experience did give the team a little
bit of an edge.
"I don't think there's any ques-
tion that it helps," Donovan said.
"They have some things to draw
upon that's happened in years past
that helped them."
With the game on the line, free
throws heavily impacted the out-
come.

The Gators, who struggled in
free-throw shooting for the major-
ity of the regular season, hit 27 of 31
from the line for 87.1 percent.
The Boilermakers strained when
they made it to the line, sinking
only 6 of 13 for 46.2 percent.
"You can throw the percentages
out the door right now because if
you don't make free throws, you
don't win the game," said Brewer,
who shot a perfect 8 for 8 from the
charity stripe. "We've been watch-
ing games on TV, and teams are
losing because they haven't made
free throws."
UF advanced to the third round,
where it will meet fifth-seeded
Butler in St. Louis on Friday.

During a postgame press confer-
ence, Horford said the Gators will
take some time to enjoy the hard-
fought victory, but Donovan may
put some of those plans on hold.
"We are celebrating because we
advanced to the Sweet 16," Horford
said. "It's a big deal. We're enjoying

this tonight, and we're taking a day
off tomorrow."
Donovan feigned surprise in his
response: "We are?"
A smiling Brewer nodded
emphatically, and the quick com-
ment made the group burst into
laughter.
Horford quickly recovered, say-
ing, "I mean, I don't know."
The players could probably use
a break, but Noah doesn't min the
exhaustion.
"I'm worn out right now
- emotionally, physically, men-
tally," he said. "But that's what it's
all about.
"There's no better feeling than
being drained after a win."

first-half deficit.
"If I'm in rhythm and making shots, I want
the ball so I can help my team," Horford said.
Here is the dilemma in guarding Horfordi
If you elect to double-team him, as Purdue
did for much of the first half, he finds open
teammates.
If you guard him one-on-one but protect
the basket, he drains a polished outside jump
shot.
He hit two 15-footers Sunday. When he
arrived at UF, Horford could hardly score out-
side the paint. Now he can hardly miss.
"We know that if you give him a crack, he's
going to shoot it and make it," guard Taurean
Green said.
Your only other option is to body-up
Horford.
But the 6-foot-l0, chiseled forward is so
strong he will likely move you as close to the
basket as need be before converting a baby
hook.
"He can use both hands and he's a re-
ally good passer," Coach Billy Donovan sard.

"He's one of the smartest big men I've ever
coached."
Horford denies that he has become a
primary scorer. But even Donovan said he
ordered his players to look for him late in the
Purdue game.

"He can use both hands and he's a
really good passer. He's one of the
smartest big men I've ever coached."
Billy Donovan
UF men's basketball coach

And why not?
Horford has scored in double digits in all
but one of his last 11 games.
Fot the season, he is shooting 62 percent
from the field and averaging 9.3 rebounds.
One week ago, he was.named Southeastern
Conference Tournament MVP after scoring
18 points and grabbing 12 boards against
Arkansas in the championship game.
"Al's a monster," Noah said. "He's really
been leading us defensively and offensively.
You have to give Al all the credit in the world.
He's been playing unbelievable basketball."

factor in the first half.
Message to Butler: The
Boilermakers may have exposed
the Gators' Achilles' heel.
"If we take (Green) out of the
game, they really can't run the
offense," Purdue guard Keaton
Grant said.
Everybody who plays the
Gators also has an advantage be-
fore tipoff: the underdog role.
The pressure was off Jackson
State and Purdue, and both came
out much looser than UE.
As a result, the teams forged
early leads. -
S"No one gave us a chance to
win against Florida," Purdue
guard David Teague said.
"Nobody had us in their brackets.
That was the motivation for us, to
play pressure-free, loose and leave
it all out there and leave it all on
the line."

Donovan has talked all year
about living in the moment, get-
ting up to play each team no mat-
ter how much UF is favored by.
Yet the Boilermakers noticed
something from the get-go.
"They were kind of stunned
at how hard we were playing,
how much we wanted it," Kramer
said.
Purdue coach Matt Painter said
his team played just as hard as UF,
if not harder. But the Boilermakers
are short-season Class A ball and
the Gators are the majors.
Purdue has several flaws, in-
cluding a thin front line.
"We took their first punch, we
responded," Kramer said. "When
we took the second punch, we re-
sponded again. When we took the 4
third punch, we just couldn't get
the last couple stops here or there
to get over the hump."
The teams UF will face in the
next few rounds, if the Gators
keep advancing, will be tougher
to knock out.

Horford raises

game in tourney

By LOUIS ANASTASIS

NEW ORLEANS The ultimate sacrilege is in the
works.
UF, fueled by unselfishness, is witnessing one of its
five starters become so refined the Gators might gasp
- make him a go-to player.
"Al's definitely our go-to post player. If they
don't double-team him, Al can do anything in
the post. He's a rebounding machine, and I'm
just happy he's on my team."
Joakim Noah
UF forward

Forward Al Horford has become such an offensive
weapon the Gators might not have a choice.
Horford scored 17 points on 7-of-9 shooting, grabbed
nine rebounds and blocked one shot Sunday against
Purdue (22-12) to help UF (31-5) advance to play Butler
in the Sweet 16.
"Al's definitely our go-to post player," forward
Joakim Noah said. "If they don't double-team him, Al
can do anything in the post. He's a rebounding machine,
and I'm just happy he's on my team." -
It says something that this comment came from Noah,
wA is not a bad post player himself. But he was being
honest.
Horford has become close to unstoppable in the post,
especially late in games. He scored 11 points and did not
miss a shot after halftime to help the Gators overcome a

* THE GATORS SNAPPED THE
SCHOOL RECORD FOR POINTS IN A
HALF.

NEW ORLEANS The luck of the Irish
may have aided UF's record-breaking first
round performance during St. Patrick's Day
weekend.
The Gators went on a rampage in the
second half against Jackson State by scoring
71 points to break the school record for most
points in a half. The previous high was 70
against Coastal Carolina on Nov. 30, 1998.
- The Gators' 112 points against the Tigers

broke the school record for the most total
points scored in an NCAA Tournament
game. UF's rebounding margin of 43 against
Jackson State broke an NCAA Tournament
record. The Gators outrebounded the Tigers
62-19.
Senior Chris Richard and freshman
Marreese Speights set career highs in points
Friday. Richard scored 17 points, eclipsifig his
previous high of 14, and Speights scored 16,
surpassing his previous mark of 13.
Point guard Taurean Green dished out 12
assists, also a career high.

SIGHTSEEING: UF coach Billy Donovan took
the team on a tour of the 9th Ward, one of
the areas hit hardest by Hurricane Katrina
in 2005.
"Sometimes when you see things on TV

on the city and the hurricane, you see things
from a TV's perspective," Donovan said. "It's
always different when you get a chance to
see rows and rows and blocks and blocks of
homes that are just aban-
doned."
While on the bus, the
team saw houses with red
Men's Xs and numbers on doors.
Basketball A police officer told
Donovan that the marks
showed when the house
was last checked for survivors and animals.
"It's a pretty eye-opening experience be-
cause I think we have a tendency sometimes
to focus on our own problems," Donovan
said. "My intent was just to take the focus
off themselves and maybe see how fortunate
they are."

Repeat won't

come easy

for Gators

N EW ORLEANS Purdue
is saying the same things
that all the national experts
are.
Despite close first halves in a
pair of opening-weekend games,
the Gators are still the best team in
the land.
Boilermakers guard Chris
Kramer predicted UF would re-
peat.
"They have so many key com-
ponents, and they have so many
big guys," he said. "So if anybody
gets into foul trouble, they can keep
on bringing in big bodies. They've
got shooters,
and they've
got slashers
that can fin-
ish around
the basket. I
think they are
Nick Zaccardi the favorite."
Nick-el Coverage G u a r d
nzaccardj@alligator.org David Teague
echoed the
expectation.
"In my opinion, they took one
of their toughest blows of the tour-
nament, as far as a team going at
them and playing hard and playing
with those guys for 40 minutes,"
Teague said. "I expect those guys
to repeat."
But the Boilermakers also
showed why it's too early to crown
the Gators again.
For the second straight game, an
undersized and overmatched team
hung around.
Contrast that to last season's
tournament, when UF thrashed
its first two opponents by 20-plus
points.
"We're not overly talented," UF
coach Billy Donovan said. "If we
were overly talented,' we would
have been ranked last year because
it's the same group of guys."
It's not coach-speak.
Purdue's game plan coming in
was to pressure Taurean Green,
and it mostly worked.
He committed five turnovers
versus two assists and was a non
