Students spark up risky business deals

In most ways, Ralph leads an ordinary
life. He studies daily, competes in intramural
football and hangs out with friends on the

weekends.
What sets Ralph apart is his passion for
gardening.

In the past seven months, the Gainesville
Police Department has seen a significant rise
in drug-related home-invasion robberies,
said Lt. Keith Kameg, GPD's spokesman. At

Ralph grows his own marijuana in a home-

harvest the weed.
"You can go to Google, and they'll give you

AROUND GAINESVILLE

UF alum wins

on 'Jeopardy!'
By DANIELLE TORRENT
Alligator Writer

In the comfort of his own home, UF graduate James Kirby
watched his historic tie-breaking appearance on "Jeopardy!" on
Monday night.
As nine friends and family members filed into Kirby's liv-
ing room in Northwest Gainesville to watch the episode, his
7-year-old son Kieran said to his mother, "Mommy, I was going
to watch 'Arthur.'"
"That is not happening out here," responded Kirby's best
friend, UF student Scott Stefansen, 26.
After watching Kirby place in a three-way $16,000 tie on
Friday's episode of "Jeopardy!," the group stared at the TV, an-
ticipating the local contestant's every move. When the onscreen
Kirby didn't respond to the first three questions of the episode,
Stefansen turned to his friend and said, "Come on, man!"
Monday's episode was taped in December, so most of the
group already knew what the outcome would be.
Kirby beat the other two contestants in Final Jeopardy!
when they missed the question and he answered correctly. The
category was historical quotes and the question was: Who said,
"What a beautiful view" in 1961? Although Kirby misspelled
the name, he knew the quote was from Alan Shepard not
John Glenn, the guess of the other contestants.

HEALTH
iPods add to hearing loss
Turn off that iPod and listen
up.
Due to loud music and noisy
environments, young people
have a rate of impaired hearing
2.5 times that of their parents
and grandparents, according to
a study by Stanford University.
The study added that in 2050,
as many as 50 million Americans
could be hearing impaired.
Scott Griffiths, the director
of UF's Doctor of Audiology
Program, said a lot of damage
can be done to the ears before any
problems are noticed. Hearing
loss symptoms include ringing
or any noise from within the ear,
said Griffiths, who has studied
hearing and audiology for 21
years.
A primary cause of such dam-
age is the increasing popularity
of MP3 players, he said. Damage
can result from the amount of
time the MP3 player is used as
much as its volume. The longer
an audio device is listened to,
the lower the volume should be,
he said.
The intensity of the music
also makes a difference. Heavy,
loud rock should be listened to
-at a lower volume than that of
softer, lighter music, like classi-
cal, Griffiths said.
There is no permanent cure
once hearing has been lost.
"Your hearing is like a bank
account that you can only with-
draw from," Griffiths said.
Phillip Sotomayor, a UF junior
majoring in mechanical engineer-
ing, said he listens to his iPod

every day. But he keeps his
volume at a reasonable level be-
cause he has played percussion
for nine years and was taught
the importance of protecting
his hearing, he said.
"If a person next to you
ran hear (your music), it's too
loud," he said.
Instances of hearing im-
pairment may be increasing,
but Griffiths said sensitivity
to hearing loss is on a case-by-
case basis. What might cause
one person damage may not
affect another, he said.
In order to decrease the risk,
Griffiths suggested limiting the
amount of time spent listening
to music and avoiding loud
areas, such as concerts, restau-
rants and nightclubs.
"If you have to raise your
voice to be heard," he said,
"then that situation can be risky
for hearing."
However, he also realizes the
importance of music in today's
society. .
"I'm not going to say'you
cannot wear your iPod," he
said. "(Music) is part of the
culture."

Hub reopens after

3-year renovation

UF students study in the newly renovated Hub on Monday afternoon. The Hub, which fully opened Monday, is
the new home of the UF Computing Help Desk and the International Center. It also features a Starbucks.

The second fully func-
tioning Starbucks on UF's
campus began brewing
coffee Monday in the Hub,
as the building completely
reopened after nearly three
years of renovation.
Starbucks aficionado
and UF freshman Tiffany
McDonough said she's glad
that to get coffee, she'll
no longer have to walk, to
Library West, where the first
on-campus franchise opened
in October.
The Hub also houses study
areas with walk-up and wire-
less Internet connections.
McDonough said she'd
been there for about four
hours studying.

Freshman Josh Matas said
it's an ideal place for study-
ing or just hanging out.
"I'm surprised there aren't
more people here," Matas
said. "I guess word hasn't got
out yet."
Junior journalism major
Jennifer Walker said she
stopped going to the Hub af-
ter her first semester because
the construction
On was a nuisance
Campus to her.
"For me, I'm
just sensitive to the construc-
tion," Walker said. "It's too
noisy."
The Hub is also the new
home of the UF International
Center and the UF Computing
Help Desk.
The project cost about $10
million.

To promote awareness of the emergency

the "morning-after pill" that prevents preg-
nancy after, unprotected sex, normally costs

50 people to show up at the Gainesville clinic

The clinic handed out the pills illegally last
year because a prescription was then required

have since been legalized for over-the-counter
distribution to those over 18.
In order to follow federal regulations,
Planned Parenthood, which is an authorized

those under 18 who wish to receive a dose.

Students spend break helping rebuild New Orleans

Editor's note: This is the second of a
three-part series on how students spent
their Spring Break.
By JESSIE COLEMAN
Alligator Writer
jcoleman@alligator.org

Paul Loschak felt like an intruder as he
trudged through the front door of a New
Orleans assisted-living home.
He looked like a human marshmallow in
his white Tyvek jumpsuit, skating across the
chocolate-colored muck, his feet slipping and
sliding on a thin layer of sludge.
A combination of mud and black mold, the
result of long-standing water, blanketed the
interior of the home, nicknamed the "Nasty
Gut." The house was an abandoned rotting
mess since the fury of Hurricane Katrina al-
most a year and a half ago.
Loschak, a sophomore who spent his
Spring Break gutting houses in New Orleans,
wore protective goggles, a helmet, gloves
and a respiratory mask inside the house. The
equipment obscured most of his face, leaving
only small crevices of bare skin exposed to the
stale air.
Loschak was an anti-bacterial bubble in a
swampland of grime and mold, but he was
still vulnerable to the feeling of desolation that
lingered throughout the house.
"I was able to stand in a bedroom and
picture myself in that place and what it would
have been like to leave all of a sudden,"
Loschak said.
The devastation seemed to seep right
through his protective suit and goggles. He
cringed at the bright-red cockroaches, which
were about the size of silver dollars, crawl-
ing on the walls and upturned furniture. He
winced at the soggy clothes strewn on the
floor and at the empty Snack-Pack pudding
containers that still filled the pantry, most of
them gnawed away by rats.
Loschak couldn't ignore the signs of life in
this former home and the trail of the hurricane
that snatched it away.
The work was emotionally tiring for
Loschak and 10 other UF students who trav-
eled to New Orleans with Florida Alternative
Breaks, a volunteer organization that offers
opportunities to serve the community during
school vacations.
Hailey Mellon, a psychology junior and
one of two site leaders for the trip, said she
tried to focus on clearing out. the homes
rather than on the traces of life that still echoed
throughout the homes, like the picture frames
still hanging on the walls.
"You kind of desensitized yourself,"
Mellon said. "You went in and cleaned out the
house, and that was your task,"
'Feelings aside, the crouching, hammering,
reaching, tearing and hauling took a physical
toll on the student volunteers.

In one two-story home, Loschak had to
rip apart soggy furniture on the second floor,
throw the ruins out a broken window and
then haul the pile about 15 feet to the street
curb a task that took about two and a half
hours. That labor was only.prep for the real
demolition. Removing weatherworn walls
required another five hours of beating with
crowbars.
Loschak and the rest of the UF team demol-
ished, emptied and tidied the interior of four
houses during their five days in New Orleans,
starting March 12 and ending Friday. After
they finished, only the shells of the houses
remained. They worked alongside Hands on
New Orleans, an organization based in the
First St. United Methodist Church in New
Orleans that aids in long-term rebuilding of
areas affected by the hurricane. They also
arranged for the group to stay in the church
headquarters. The church, located in a poor,
crime-ridden neighborhood southeast of the
wealthy Garden district, was highly secured.
Workers left only in groups of three, and a
password was needed to get
Student back inside.
ULfe "It was kind of like a fortress,"
Loschak said. "They basically
kept us locked inside."
Loschak shared the church's accom-
modations with 95 other college students
from around the United States and about 10
AmeriCorps volunteers. Everyone stayed in
one large room filled with bunkbeds and slept
onr plastic mattresses. Loschak's feet hung
about 4 inches over the edge of his mattress,
which was about 2 feet wide and 6 feet long.
Even after tossing and turning through
the night, Loschak followed a tight schedule,
waking up each morning at 6 a.m. and starting
work by 8 a.m. He usually worked eight-hour
days. When he returned to the church, cov-
ered in dirt and sweat, he raced to a dry-erase
board on the wall to sign up for a 4-minute
shower. There were three showers for all 106
workers to share.
"If someone took a shower that was 5
minutes, they would be shunned the rest of
the day," Loschak said, laughing at what he
described as friendly chiding.
After cleaning up, Loschak and the other
volunteers relaxed, talked and played cards
and board games. But much like showering,
sleep was coveted after a day of work, and a 10
p.m. lights-out rule was widely enforced.
"Each day we worked a little less hard,"
Loschak said. "It just got harder every single
day because we were more and more tired."
But the rewards of Loschak's work pro-
pelled him. Sometimes the group found small
treasures buried in the ruins, like a collection
of Mardi Gras doubloons and a photo album
they salvaged for one family. Both were found
in the assisted-living home. Flipping through
the pictures helped Loschak connect to the
family, making him feel less like a stranger in

another's home.
More than the treasures he found, Loschak's
biggest reward was the stories locals had to
share. Loschak and other volunteers listened
to their hurricane war stories tales of terror,
confusion, hunger and separation from loved
ones. They watched the storytellers' faces con-
tort withpain of their memories.
"Every time a homeowner would come
down the street, they would tell us some kind
of story like that." Loschak said. "It was so
moving, and it brought so much more mean-
ing to what we were doing."

But for Loschak, the biggest challenge
came at the end of the week, when he packed
up his bags Saturday morning and said good-
bye to fellow volunteers. Prey to pangs of
disappointment, he could not shut off visions
of hundreds of other houses that still need
saving.
"Going on this trip showed me what real
service is," Loschak said. "I hope that any-
body that's never had a chance to actually roll
up their sleeves and do something either does
this or something else. There's still a huge de-
mand for labor."

UF draws dean from UNC

By JOEY CHINDAMO

jchindamo@alligator.org

In its quest to join the ranks of the top-
ranked public universities, UF lured a faculty
member away from a top-10 institution to
head its graduate school.
Henry Frierson, a professor of educational
psychology and the director of the Research
Education Support Program at the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has been
hired as UF's new associate vice president
and the dean of the Graduate School.
Frierson will be paid $200,000 a year, ac-
cording to a press release. He will assume
his new position May 1 and succeed interim
Dean Kenneth Gerhardt, who will return to
his post as a professor of audiology, said Steve
Orlando, UF's spokesman;
Though Frierson has been a faculty mem-
ber at UNC since 1974, he said he's excited
about relocating to UF.
UF Provost Janie Fouke said Frierson's
passion for graduate education, mentoring
students and experience with fundraising set
him apart from other applicants.

At UF, Fouke said Frierson will work to
improve training for graduate assistants and
make grant proposals for graduate students.
Though Frierson said he wasn't aware
of recent allegations of graduate student
mistreatment by faculty in UF's sociology de-
partment, he said he is committed to ensuring
all graduate students are treated properly and
given the opportuni-
UF ties.
S, Frierson also
wants to promote
graduate education
to UF's undergraduate students.
"I've been told that the University of
Florida's undergraduates are some of the best
in the country," he said. "I see them as a tre-
mendous pool for future graduate students."
While the date of Frierson's arrival is fast
approaching, his transformation to Gator
status is not yet complete. When asked which
team he was rooting for in the NCAA Division
I men's basketball tournament the Gators
or the Tar Heels Frierson laughed.
"Ill plead the fifth," he said. "I don't want
the people to get mad at me yet."

Walkout will protest war

By JESSICA DaSILVA

jdasilva@alligator.org

A student group is encouraging students
to walk out of their classes and march to
Tigert Hall to protest the Iraq war today, a
day after the war's fourth anniversary.
The Gainesville Area Students for a
Democratic Society will demand that the
UF administration issue a public statement
opposing the war on behalf of the student
body, said Joe Richard, the group's spokes-
man.
Tina Steiger, a UF sophomore and a
walkout organizer, said the group will meet
on the Reitz Union Colonnade at 1 p.m.
The other goal of the protest is to ask UF
to be transparent about goverment-spon-

scored research at the university, Steiger
said.
"The government is spending so much
on the war when the reasons aren't even
clear to the student body or U.S. popula-
tion," she said.
"The government is spending

Down and dirty

Campaign catfights, now

on YouTube
Y ouTube. It's the favorite Web site of many bored people,
drunk people and high people. Sometimes all three at
the same time. But YouTube has evolved past more
than just a place to watch homemade shorts, old episodes of
Captain Planet and movie trailers sometimes whole mov-
ies.
Now it's a political weapon as well. And the first bullet
has been fired at Democratic presidential candidate Hillary
Clinton.
The 73-second ad portrays Clinton as an Orwellian Big
Brother or should we say Big Sister? figure. The good
guy is, of course, Barack Obama the other Democratic hope-
ful. Well, that's whose Web site appears at the end of the clip.
But who made the video?
Who knows.
One thing about YouTube is that it can be anonymous. The
Internet is a much more accessible domain than TV, and no
group has to identify itself on a YouTube video as a paid po-
litical ad. Even the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth against John
Kerry in 2004 had to take responsibility for its TV spots.
And it's free. "It used to be that unless they bought tens
of millions of dollars in advertising, you weren't going to be
heard," said Simon Rosenberg, president of the Washington-
based New Democrat Network, an influential party advocacy
group. "Now, if an ad catches on, on YouTube or wherever,
and becomes trendy and exciting, it could have just as much
impact," he said.
These conditions are the perfect breeding grounds for
muckraking campaigning. The Obama campaign naturally
denies any connections to the creation of the video. Clinton's
campaign has declined to comment so far. But the damage has
been done, and it wouldn't be surprising if an anti-Obama ad
pops up online over the next few days.
But the worst thing about the advent of the YouTube era?
We bet this will be the dirtiest campaign in history.

Drink local joe instead of Starbucks

W wednesday morning,
PlannedParenthood
of North Central
Florida will give out free
doses of Plan B.
The emergency contra-
ceptive drug, often referred
to as the "morning-after
pill," normally costs $30.
But as Namrata Uberoi, a
VOX: Voices for Planned
Parenthood public relations
representative says: "Free-
things just raise more aware-
ness."
No denying that.
While everyone who has
sex should use protection,
accidents happen. No deny-
ing that either. So we're glad
that Planned Parenthood will
distribute the pills.
Plan B, a two-pill process,
works like a higher dose
of birth control and can be

started up to 72 hours after
unprotected sex.
Plan B is available over-
the-counter to people 18
and older, but minors must
have a prescription, so we're
also glad VOX will lobby in
Tallahassee to eliminate this
requirement.
This law is just another
aspect of our puritanical and
prudish society. When are
lawmakers going to wake
up to the fact that underage
kids have sex, too? It's not
all sock hops in Pleasantville
anymore.
Planned Parenthood has
handed out Plan B in the
past illegally, since it was
not available over-the-coun-
ter. This form of protest was
successful, and we hope this
year's version will be just as
effective.

Sey're popping up like daisies. The ultimate corporate
symbol of white, middle-class conformity is taking
over our campus. But I can't say I'm surprised it's
a sad reality that college campuses feel the need to sell out
to companies like Coca-Cola or Pepsi for sources of revenue
from commissions.
It's the same case with Starbucks, and the students are
complicit. We're getting our third on-campus Starbucks
- and hopefully our last. Java City was merely a backup op-
tion for students when their favorite corporate coffee chain
was nowhere in sight. Yes, the coffee at Java City sucked, but
Starbucks isn't much better.
And Starbucks' coffee tastes like cardboard. I don't under-
stand how tasteless lattes and Frappuccinos can be so addict-
ing for so many people. I promise, once you break free from
the lemming-like attachment to Starbucks, you will realize
that there are far tastier options in Gainesville.
Call me a corporation-hating hippie, but Starbucks is a
socially irresponsible company. According to Transfair USA,
the only third-party certifier of Fair Trade products in the
United States, about 4 percent of Starbucks coffee is Certified
Fair Trade coffee, meaning coffee farmers are paid fair prices
that allow them to how should I put this? live.
But right across the street from the Library West location,
Deja Brew Cafe inside Target Copy serves only organic Fair
Trade Coffee. D6ja Brew is also environmentally friendly,
using cups made from completely biodegradable materials
- and the coffee actually tastes like coffee.
If you can't stand the whirring of the copy machines,
there's Maude's downtown, which has a much better ambi-
ence than any Starbucks. Or if you're a closet Hare Krishna
like me, you'd enjoy Book Lover's Cafe, with its vegan food
and organic coffee.
Gainesville has plenty of locally owned shops that are

more deserving of your patronage
than that caffeine conglomerate.
But the UF campus is rep-
resentative of every American
city. In Gainesville, there are five
other Starbucks in addition to the
Anuradha Pandey campus locations. But eight stores
letters@alligator.org doesn't seem like enough. If we
really want to be saturated with
bad coffee and have a Starbucks
on every comer, we need at least 10 more. Alas, the company
hasn't lived up to its promise.
The distressing part about the Green Mermaid's take-
over is that we students supposedly wanted it. The Reitz
Union Board of Managers and the Food Service Advisory
Committee, both comprised of students and faculty, asked
for the chain in the Reitz Union Food Court. Though these
groups are not entirely representative of all students, I doubt
there'll be an uproar.
There definitely won'tbe tears like when the Starbucks on
the corner of West University Avenue and 13th Street cosed.
That was a real tragedy, even though there's another store
across the street inside Library West.
It would be too idealistic of me to expect any indignation
on behalf of the student body, and I can't really blame it. In
the end, we want our coffee before that 8:30 a.m. class, and
we don't have time to walk across University Avenue to get
it. We also don't care if all the cities in the United States are
indistinguishable from each other with the same chain stores
in every one.
Think about what you're drinking next time you spend
too much on a flavorless Frappuccino.

'.. t :-. to the
Not protesting has consequences, too
I do not understand why Patrick Barrett
would discourage students from protesting
the war in Iraq. Protest always has its place in
political discourse. During the Vietnam War,
the media brought the horrors of war, social
injustice and an involuntary and largely un-
der-trained and unprepared military force
into our homes. Student protests succeeded
by showing the country and the world that
there were citizens of the United States who
did not support the war and our role in it.
More importantly, though, Barrett argues
that continued protest of the war in Iraq
will only strengthen the enemy's position
and prolong the war. Does he not recall that
little war that occurred between World War
II and the Vietnam War? The Korean War
of the early 1950s has long been the war
this country wishes it could forget. If there
were mass protests in the United States by
students or anyone for that matter the
media did not publicize it as they did during
the Vietnam War. For the record, we still have
more than 35,000 soldiers stationed in Korea.
Only now are we considering diverting some

of these troops by sending them to Iraq. So to
Mr. Barrett, I want to say that the war we did
not protest resulted in tens of thousands of
our troops maintaining a presence in Korea,
50 years later. And to all those who intend to
protest the war in Iraq, more power to you.
Let your voices be heard!
Stacey Kroto
4LS

Protest or not, Iraq war will drag on
Barrett claims that protesting might
prolong the war in Iraq on the grounds that
the insurgents might be encouraged by the
thought that Americans are not unanimously
in favor of the war. OK, let's concede that this
is a possibility. Now, it seems to me equally
likely that the absence of protest might be
taken by the insurgents to mean they need
to escalate the level of violence, which would
also presumably prolong the war and make it
bloodier. So it's possible that protesting will
drag out the war, and it's possible that not
protesting will drag out the war.

Unless we have some concrete reason
to think one or the other of these outcomes
is more likely, it seems we have a perfect
stalemate as to the wisdom of protesting. So,
my congratulations go out to Mr. Barrett for
managing to devote an entire column to say-
ing precisely nothing.
David N. Tostenson
UFgraduate student

Protesters not at fault for prolonged war
I was shocked by the cynicism displayed
in Barrett's column Monday. He would have
protesters shoulder the responsibility of pro-
tracting this war without placing any blame
on the politicians who continue to talk about
"staying the course" and "supporting our
troops" like they're the ones in charge.
The last time I checked, most Americans
oppose the war and want us out of Iraq as
soon as possible. Shouldn't the blame for this
conflict fall squarely on the shoulders of the
ones who lied to make us fight and have ig-
nored public sentiment ever since? Isn't there

something tragically undemocratic about this
whole situation?
Mr. Barrett even goes so far-as to place the
blame for an authoritarian regime half the
world away on protesters here in America.
Yes, I'm sure that years of military conflict
and indiscriminate bombings are very effec-
tive at keeping power out of the hands of
tyrants. Clearly, protesters are responsible for
the conditions that make people want to resist
occupying armies and put their future into the
hands of the despot most capable of effectively
doing so.
In all seriousness, I wonder if Barrett is
aware of a recent poll from Iraq showing that
61 percent of responders approve of attacks
on coalition troops. Is this a result of the peace
movement back in the States?
Despite our differences in opinion, I was
quite pleased to read Barrett's piece. He gave
us more publicity than we ever could have
hoped for from the Alligator, and I'm sure not
many people fell for his faulty logic.

Press release seminar helps groups get news coverage

T hen I speak with student groups, I'm often asked
why the Alligator doesn't cover many organizations'
events and news. Despite the Alligator's nosiness
and extensive spy network, it can't know about everything on
campus. In order for the Alligator to cover something; it has to
know about it. So what does it take to get your news covered?
First and foremost, your news must be newsworthy. The
Alligator doesn't do free advertising. News values include
timeliness, proximity, impact, conflict and unusualness.
New York Sun editor Charles A. Dana put it pithily: News is
"anything that interests a large part of the community and has
never been brought to its attention before."
Other definitions include shifts in the status quo, chang-
ing relationships or disruptive events. But the bottom line is
that news is whatever reporters and editors say it is. In order
to get your story told, you must convince the editors that it's
important.
The best way to make your case is to e-mail or fax a press
release, and make a phone call on the side. A press release is
nothing more than a one- to two-page bulletin intended to
pique editor interest and provide reporters with essential back-

rw.

ground information about a potential
S article. Editors are busy, so keep it
short and spark their interest in the
.(r- opening paragraph. As with a news
ht* story, the opening or lede sentence
a term deliberately misspelled by
Journalists either summarizes the
Mike Jayne story or entices the reader to check out
Ombudsman the next paragraph.
mjayne@alligator.org Think of it as a phone call to a
friend. What's the first thing you say
to get his or her attention? "The Gators
just whupped the Buckeyes by 27." When you tell a story, you
might save the best for last. But in a press release, you want the
most important information in the first few paragraphs, fol-
lowed by details in order of interest or importance.
Include your name, organization and contact information.
Date your press release, and specify when you want your
news published. If it needs to run ASAP, write, "For immedi-
ate release" at the top. Give a week's warning when requesting
coverage of an event, but follow up with a phone call a day or

two beforehand. The best time to call is after 5 p.m.
If you'd like to announce an event your organization is
sponsoring, you might find the "What's Happening" section
on Page Two useful. E-mail the newsroom before 5 p.m. the
day before you want your announcement to run. Make sure
you put "What's Happening" in the subject line,
Opinions are different from news, so the paper reserves a
special section for them. This section may be a better fit if what
you need to say isn't strictly news. You can submit letters to the
editor and 550-word guest columns to letters@alligator.org.
If your news packs the juice and the paper has enough
space, your story will probably get printed though not nec-
essarily plastered on the front page. If you follow these simple
steps and meet these requirements, but the Alligator flat out
ignores you, let me know. I'll raise hell. These are just the ba-
sics. If you are in an organization and need to promote issues
or events, I recommend you come to my press release seminar
Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in Williamson Hall, Room 100. I hope
to see you there.

Reitz gallery offers fledgling artists chance to exhibit

* IT IS ACCEPTING APPLICA-
TIONS FOR SHOWINGS.

By LAINEY JOHNSON
Alligator Contributing Writer

Dim lights, white walls and a
catered reception marked the atmo-
sphere in which Sarah Rupert's art
was showcased.
"The gallery" in the Reitz Union
is accepting applications for the
summer and fall 2007 semesters to
give faculty, staff, alumni and stu-
dents -both non-art and art majors
alike the opportunity to showcase
their works.
Chosen pieces will be exhibited
in the gallery, which is located on the
second floor of the Reitz Union, with
a catered reception and funding for
promotional items also provided.
"I know how expensive having
your work exhibited can be when
you're not helped by a provider,"
said Rupert, director of the gallery.
"We make it possible for struggling
students and artists to successfully
showcase their work in a very pro-
fessional manner."
Rupert, a UF senior majoring in
creative photography, had her pho-
tographs showcased in the gallery
for one week earlier this semester in
the exhibit Conventaional Wisdoms,
along with two of her friends, who

are also photo artists. opportunity for us and quite a per-
"Art school puts a lot of empha- sonal experience," Rupert said. "The
sis on exhibition, so it was a great big space gave us a great chance to

put up a lot of work that finished a
thought best illustrated in more than
one piece."

UF creative photography senior Sarah Rupert stands by one of her photographs that was part of the
exhibit Conventional Wisdom, which was on display for a week in "the gallery" in the Reitz Union.

UF alumnus Frank Curtis had
his suitcase installation showcased
in the gallery in February. Each suit-
case in his exhibit was supposed to
reflect changes, events and journeys
in his life.
Curtis said he initially felt inti-
mated before his one-person show
because he didn't think he had
enough artwork to fill the large
space.
On "It turned out the
Campus space accommodated
it perfectly, and the
staff helped me arrange the work
and the lighting," Curtis said.
Interested artists must have im-
ages in slide or digital format and
submit an application, which is
available at www.union.ufl.edu/
gallery.
Application materials can be
dropped off at the Arts and Crafts
Center on the basement floor of the
Reitz Union.
The Art Production Committee,
consisting of Reitz Union faculty
and students, will review submis-
sions April 1. Shows can either be
solo or a group of works based
around a theme.
The deadline for all applications
is March 29, and selections will be
announced by e-mail April 9.
"This is a great chance to see and
exhibit art," Rupert said. "That ben-
efits everybody."

UF RESEARCH

UF offers expanded undergrad research opportunities

By ADRIAN ERLENBACH
Alligator Contributing Writer

Research opportunities used to be reserved
for just graduate students, but lately, more
undergraduates have been moving out of the
classroom and into the lab.
According to a recent CNN report, large
universities, including UF, have been expand-
ing their opportunities for undergraduate
research to raise rankings and entice high-
achieving students.
In recent years, UF has created more pro-
grams devoted to undergraduate research.
Hundreds of undergraduates now perform re-
search every year through programs offered at

UF, such as the University Scholars program,
the Science for Life Program and the McNair
Scholars Program for low-income, first-gen-
eration and minority students.
Mary Brown, a professor in the department
of infectious diseases and pathology, said she
is pleased with the growing interest in under-
graduate research. She has worked with doz-
ens of undergraduates under several different
research programs.
"It's good to have that mixture," she said.
"You interact with people at all levels of pro-
fessional training."
While research is a good resume booster,
Brown said the experience undergraduates
get is the most important advantage to re-

"It's good to have that mixture. You
interact with people at all levels of
professional training."
Mary Brown
UF professor

search because it helps students gain a deeper
understanding of what they want to do.
Ashley Bittner, a UF senior double ma-
joring in history and political science, spent
last summer in England studying the his-
tory of globalization in the University Scholars
Program. She said that while the project gave"
her a firsthand perspective of what historians

do, it also helped her discover that she might
be more interested in other things.
"It made me realize that I needed to take
more time before starting a Ph.D. program,"
she said.
In addition to being a University Scholar
in 2006, that year she was also awarded the
Truman Scholarship, a $30,000 award for un-
dergraduates planning to pursue careers in
public service.
High-achieving students like Bittner are
what make UF's undergraduate research pro-
grams possible, Brown said.
"UF has some of the brightest undergradu-
ate students around," she said. "They are
ready and willing to do graduate-level work."

Drug-related home-invasion robberies have risen in past 7 months

DRUGS, from page 1

become too comfortable in their
criminal behaviors and put them-
selves in jeopardy.
The danger, he said, is not from
law enforcement but from the deal-
ers' own clients.
"When we say drugs and vio-
lence go together, we're not making
it up," Kameg said. "They do."
Students are selling narcotics
out of their homes only to find their
patrons returning uninvited. Some
victims have been beaten up. Others
have been pistol-whipped.
"Somebody is going to get
killed," Kameg said in an interview
Feb. 28.
On March 3, his premonition be-
came a reality. Eugene A. Robinson,
31, was murdered after a man he
knew from previous drug deals
entered his home with a .45-caliber
handgun and shot him.
Robinson was not a UF student,
but Kameg said the same could eas-
ily happen to anyone dealing drugs.

Risky business
On Nov. 4, UF student Brett
Rampal called police to report that
his apartment on Southwest Ninth
Street had been robbed.
He told officers that when the
suspects arrived, they hit him in the
head with a handgun and shouted,
"Where's the stuff?" according to
the police report. Rampal told police
he used to sell drugs but no longer
did, according to the report.
"It's hard to have sympathy for
them," Kameg said. "Some people
have actually asked us to get their
drugs back for them. If that isn't the
classic 'drugs fry your brain' state-
ment, I don't know what is."
Locating the perpetrators of
such crimes proves difficult. Often
the victims are unable to positively
identify their attackers, Kameg said.
Rampal, for instance, described
the suspects as between three and
six males who ranged in age from 20

to 40 years, were average in height
and weight and were wearing dark
clothes, according to the report.
"You've now described every-
body," Kameg said. "And then they
ask, 'Are you going to solve this
today?'"
Ralph said he thinks these deal-
ers are acting recklessly and break-
ing a chief drug-dealer mantra.
"Don't sell to people you don't
know," he said. "That's the No. 1
rule right there."
But as blasphemous as it may
seem to those with drug-selling ex-
perience, Kameg said he has found
that Rampal isn't the only UF stu-
dent to stray from Ralph's principle.
"We are going to arrest the
victims. I can be no more
clear than that."
Lt. Keith Kameg
GPD spokesman

In mid-February, GPD ar-
rested Jared McCaslin and Demitris
Golston for robbing a student's
apartment on Southwest 23rd
Terrace. They took about $2,000 in
cash and drugs.
Kameg estimates that these rela-
tively small-time criminals are cost-
ing Gainesville residents big bucks.
In police man-hours alone,
the case involving McCaslin and
Golston cost the community about
$9,000, he said. After investigations,
records and court administration
fees, Kameg estimates the commu-
nity will spend between $25;000 and
$40,000 on that case alone.
"Heaven forbid that $25,000
could have been used somewhere
else," he said.
With about 20 similar cases since
May 2006, the burden on taxpayers
has been mounting.

Inside advice
Small-time student dealers
- whom Kameg refers to as "no-
bodies" in the drug world often
believe they are invincible to violent

attacks for two primary reasons:
They feel comfortable with their cli-
entele, and they think robbers only
go after the big fish.
Kameg knows better.
"Ifyou think there is any honor in
drug users and drug dealers, you're
sadly mistaken," he said. "They will
turn on you for anything. Most of
our informants are your clients."
That's a lesson that a UF student
named Adam has learned during
his college years. He spoke anony-
mously due to the nature of his com-
ments but admitted he has smoked
marijuana every day for three years
and briefly sold pot at one point.
He used to live with a friend who
sold drugs, and he was exposed
daily to the drug-dealing world.
But after watching his roommate
invite strangers into his apartment
to conduct shady transactions and
after contemplating the consequenc-
es of being caught, Adam decided
he'd stick with consumption and
leave distribution to others.
"If you're in college and you
haven't been arrested and you're
going to one of the top universities
in the country, come on it's not
worth it," he said. "Let the Santa Fe
kids sell you pot."

Sobering consequences
The illegal sale of drugs is an au-
tomatic felony, as is the possession
of certain amounts of drugs.
But the fall-out can impact a
dealer's future even if no prison
time is served. If a UF student is
charged with a drug-related felony,
he or she will likely face a minimum
punishment of suspension, said
Associate Dean of Students Paige
Crandall. After a university judicial
procedure, if it is cear that the stu-
dent has committed serious illegal
acts, he or she might be expelled,
Crandall said.
"Expulsion is the strongest sanc-
tion we have," she said. "Expulsion
means you will never come back to
the University of Florida, and you
will probably have a very difficult

time getting into any other univer-
sity."
Suspension is not much better.
A suspended student likely loses all
financial assistance and can reapply
to the university only after a certain
number of semesters, depending on
the specific punishment. .
"If you have nothing, you lose
nothing,"Kameg said. "Butifyou're
a 20-year-old junior in college, good
luck getting a job with that on your
record. This is not a joke."
Kameg said he is fed up with the
rise in home-invasions, and as the
head of the department's Violent
Crimes Taskforce, he has decided to
investigate the victims and, when-
ever possible, charge them with
every crime he can.
"We are going to arrest the vic-
tims," Kameg said. "I can be no

more dear than that."
Lt. Bart Knowles, GPD com-
mander in charge of narcotics,
agreed.
"If they are physically in posses-
sion of narcotics, we're not just going
to sweep it under the table," he said.
"It's not just going to go away."
But the real priority for law
enforcement, Kameg said, is not ar-
resting petty pot sellers. Its protect-
ing them from their own high-risk
behaviors. In many of the recently
reported home invasions, victims
have voluntarily let their attackers
through the door, thinking they are.
friendly customers. Kameg said his
fear is that Robinson's murder will
notbe the last of its sort
"(Next time) we might be re-
sponding to the death of a college
kid," he said.

"I'm never going to be able to get

34-year-old Beth Kirby
Kirby made the decision to try
out for the game show when audi-
tions were offered online this year,
he said. He had participated in brain
bowls during high school.
Now a teacher at Suwannee
High School in Live Oak, said he re-
learned a lot of information he had
forgotten by teaching humanities,
a job he said draws on his former
experience as an Alligator sports
writer. At the Alligator, he went by
J.L. Kirby, but he said that "with
Jeopardy!,' I went with what my
mom called me (amey) because I
was on television."
Friday's tie was the doing of
the player in the lead, Scott Weiss

of Walkersville, Md. When Kirby
and the other competitor, Anders
Martinson of Union City, Calif., both
had $8,000 in Final Jeopardy!, Weiss
must have assumed they would risk
it all, Kirby said. He onlybet enough
to tie them. They all answered cor-
rectly and evened the scores.
"I wouldn't have had a chance to
be there if Scott hadn't given me that
second chance," Kirby said.

As of Monday, the clip had more

And the fans weren't the only
ones surprised. After the Final
Jeopardy! results were revealed
Friday, Alex Trebek responded with,
"Aha ... the first time ever, a three-
way tie."

Sophomore Anika Navaroli, who worked
with McIntosh in UF's FACES Modeling
Troupe, called her "the most fun-loving girl
you'll ever meet in your life."
Friends agreed, describing her as adven-
turous, creative, spontaneous and kind.
When not in class, Samuels said, McIntosh
liked to model, go to the mall and eat sushi.
Her ultimate goal was to become the
fashion editor for Vogue magazine.
News of her crash shocked her friends
and left her family in tears.
Her boyfriend, UF student Logan Scott,
was too upset to talk about McIntosh on
Monday.
"I thought it wasn't real," Samuels
said about hearing the news. "This has to
be wrong, you know what I mean? It just
couldn't be true. It couldn't be true."
Some of McIntosh's friends changed their
Facebook pictures to shots of her striking a
pose in front of a blue sky or smiling in a
stylish white dress.
Others used a picture that showed her
with angel wings and a halo.
The words above read, "Forever in Our
Hearts."

UF's diverse campus eateries sure to satisfy any hunger

Suppose you just got out of class. You're
starving and must eat before you head to
your next class.
Where do you go?
Or, imagine you're working and a col-
league from across campus calls to suggest
you get together for a quick lunch.
Where do you meet?
The answer to each of these questions
depends on where you are on campus and
how much time you have.
The University of Florida offers so many
diverse choices, there's no need look any
further the next time you're searching for
something to eat.
If you're close to the Reitz Student
Union, you're in luck. Gator Dining
Services features many of the popular na-
tional fast-food restaurants like Wendy's,
Subway and Taco Bell on the second
floor. You can grab a quick bite and head
outside to a scenic area like the North
Lawn or take a minute to relax in the
open food court.
For more international fare, try

Capeesh for traditional Italian or the
Asian-inspired Noodle Bar.
When you're tired of fast food but still
want something quick, try the Orange &
Brew. On the ground floor of the Reitz
Student Union just steps away from the
duck pond, you can
enjoy a fresh panini
sandwich or savory T vi
soup inside the cozy and
pub or take a cup of
Starbucks coffee out- visit th
side on the patio under
an umbrella. www.bsd.
You'll still have time
to satisfy your sweet
tooth. Freshens, also on the ground floor,
offers ice cream with different toppings,
parfaits, frozen yogurt and fruit smoothies.
If you care for a longer lunch and want
a change of pace, take the elevator to the
fourth floor. At the Arredondo Room, you
get an all-you-can-eat buffet, salad, soup
and a drink for $6.29. Take in sweeping

$80,000 scholarship aiding doctoral student's butterfly research

Limited research budgets are a thing of
the past for Emily Saarinen.
That's because the University of Florida
doctoral candidate is the recipient of an
$80,000 research scholarship from the Canon
National Parks Science Scholars Program.
Saarinen is one of eight researchers in
North and South America to be awarded the
prestigious scholarship, which is sponsored
by Canon U.SA. Inc., the U.S. National
Park Service and the American Association
for the Advancement of Science.
The grant has allowed Saarinen to pres-
ent her research at various conferences, pay
her two assistants, and cover her lab and
field costs.
"The grant is an absolute dream come
true," said Saarinen, whose research centers
on discovering .
why the Miami
blue butterfly, a '-
once-prominent li
species in the
coastal counties of
South Florida, has
recently become
endangered.
"We hope that The once-prominent -

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., will be on
the University of Florida campus on March
23 to take part in a town hall forum and
question-and-answer session on U.S.
involvement in Iraq beginning at 3 p.m. in
the University Auditorium.
Tickets to the free
event will be issued

served basis at the

the Performing Arts.
Only one ticket per
person will be given -

and students with

pick up tickets in person at the box office
beginning at noon today. Tickets for the
general public will be available at the box
office beginning at noon Wednesday.

serve as a model organism for other endan-
gered species," she said.
Her study focuses on discovering the
factors that have caused the species to
disappear so quickly. During the 1960s,
there were populations of Miami blue but-
terflies in 16 counties in South Florida, but
by the 1990s, the species was considered
extinct. In November 1999, two naturalists
discovered one last population in the Bahia
Honda Key State Park.
"We are especially interested in creating
a model for butterflies and other inverte-
brates since there is such limited research
on them," she said.
Saarinen is specifically interested in
exploring the role that inbreeding has had
on the species. Using samples from historic
Miami blue butterflies preserved in the
Florida Museum, Saarinen compares the ge-
netic makeup of historic butterflies with the
molecular DNA of the population currently
living in the state park. Because inbreeding
reduces the genetic diversity of a species, it
could be one of the explanations for why the
species has deteriorated so quickly.
A team oflepidopterists, researchers
who study moths and butterflies, has suc-
cessfully raised 25,000 Miami blue butter-
flies in the McGuire Center in Gainesville.

U.S. circuit judge
to speak at law college
U.S. Circuit Judge Rosemary Barkett
of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals will
deliver the 2007 Dunwody Distinguished
Lecture in Law at 11 a.m. Friday in the
Chesterfield Smith Ceremonial Classroom
at the University of Florida Levin College
of Law.
Barkett, who earned her J.D. from UF
in 1970, was the first woman justice on the
Florida Supreme Court, sitting as an associ-
ate justice from 1985 to 1992. In 1992, she
became the state's first woman to serve as the
chief justice of that court.
As the first woman in the state's Su-
preme Court, Barkett encountered a num-
ber of unusual problems. One issue was her
official title. Justices traditionally had been
addressed as "Mr. Justice." Barkett, how-
ever, said she simply preferred to be called
"Justice Barkett." The other justices on the
court dropped the "Mr." from their titles.
In 1994, Barkett resigned from the court
when President Bill Clinton named her to

HPC Center doubles
its computing capacity
The High Performance Comput-
ing Center at the University of Florida
now has 1,600 CPUs to better serve the
high-performance computing needs of
UF researchers. This number is up from
800 in 2006.
The HPC Center is the result of
a facuhy-driven effort to bring state-
of-the art computing resources to all
faculty and their research groups. The
effort was started in 2003 with a 400
CPU cluster. The center's computing
power since has grown significantly.
The CPU cluster supports work in a
number of areas. These range from gene
matching to protein folding to chemi-
cal structure. The cluster is also key to
chemical engineering and to studies of
fluid dynamics. structural mechanics
and computer networks.

Noah: Volunteers' early punch too much to come back from on road

BASKETBALL, from page 20

"I've always said, 'It's not how you start,
it's how you finish,'" he, said. "It's good
when you get a good start, but it's not going
to make a difference in the game."
While UF has still been successful, the
Gators have had some difficultly overcoming

deficits, especially during their losing skid in
February.
"We've made a lot of good comebacks in
the second half, but at the same time you look
at Tennessee on the road and their punch was
too strong for us to come back from," for-
ward Joakim Noah said. "Those are learning
experiences, and we realize you can't get hit
like that, especially in the beginning of the

game."
Luckily for the Gators, they were schooled
early, because the time for learning lessons
has run out.
"There's no turning back," Noah said.
"There's no learning when you lose in
this tournament. Once you lose, it's over
- there's no more season, there's no more
practice."

UF took Monday off to rest, which Noah
said the Gators needed desperately after get-
ting banged up in Sunday's game.
"We played a real physical battle
(Sunday)," Noah said. "This is the final
stretch, and we're excited. Right no* it's
about enjoying the day, and as soon as Coach
says, 'Lace them up,' we have to be ready to
go."

UF hopes slow starts won't hinder tournament run

Tim Casey, Alligalor Staff
UF men's basketball coach Billy Donovan calls out a play during the first half of UF's first-round NCAA
Tournament game against Jackson State on Friday in New Orleans. The Gators won 112-69.

E.THE GATORS ADVANCED
THANKS TO LATE PUSHES.

By JENNA MARINA
Alligator Staff Writer
jmarina@alligator.org

When it comes to its perfor-
mance, the UF men's basketball
team waits until the second act to
hit the stage.
Although the Gators (31-5) nev-
er trailed during their Southeastern
Conference Tournament run, the
NCAA Tournament has played out
differently.
Before UF scored 71 points in
the second half "against Jackson
State, the Tigers kept the game
within reach. The score switched
nine times in the first half, and the
16th-seeded Tigers led by 5 points
at one time.
Against Purdue in the second
round, UF endured a tumultuous
first half and was losing at halftime
before it outscored the Boilermakers
by 9 points in the second half.
The pattern is parallel to how
the Gators played for the majority
of the regular season, and Coach
Billy Donovan said UF's consis-
tently solid second-half play can
be attributed to a combination of

factors.
In addition to opponents' fatigue
and technical adjustments, the play-
ers have a chance to regroup during
halftime to assess what their oppo-
nents are throwing at them.
Donovan said that during con-
ference play, the Gators had an easi-
er time adjusting to the game's pace
because they were familiar with the
opponents.
"When you see
the same groups
of people over
Men's the same three
Basketball months, you
as know how tall,
how quick every-
one is," Donovan said. "You get a
better feel for the style of play you'll
be facing."
In the NCAA Tournament, how-
ever, that level of familiarity is lost,
and it takes extra time for the play-
ers to get it together.
"You try to scout and point
things out to your guys, but some-
times there are things that aren't
fully recognized and respected-un-
til you experience it for yourself,"
Donovan said.
Forward Al Horford isn't con-
cerned about UF's habit.

Leclerc snaps hitting slump

By MIKE MCCALL
Alligator Writer

Brian Lederc faced his baseball night-
mare and overcame it.
In the beginning of March, the senior
outfielder's batting average was as low
as .043, and after starting 166 games in his
first three seasons in Gainesville, Lederc
found himself in an unfamiliar place the
bench.
"It's the worst feeling you could pos-
sibly have as a player," he said. "You aren't
helping the team, and it's a big negative
atmosphere."
Lederc put an end to his season-long
slump last weekend, batting 10 for 13 in
UF's series against Mississippi State, and
his resurgent bat will help lead the Gators
(11-12, 1-2 Southeastern Conference) to-
night at Stetson.
Leclerc's average now stands at .300, a
product of his new mentality.

"(The slump) was completely mental. I
look at my swings on tape and they look
fine," Leclerc said. "The problem was
when I went out there I was thinking about
stuff that doesn't matter, like whether I
would get pulled if I didn't get a hit.
"That stuff just bom-
bards your mind. I was
so frustrated and so
angry, I wouldn't stop
talking about it. My
whole life consisted of
negativity."
Lederc talked with
SLecr UF assistant coach Tim
Lecler,
Parenton before the
series with the Bulldogs, putting his head
back in a positive way.
"I told (Parenton) that I just felt worth-
less to the team and he said not to worry,
that I would get my shot," Leclerc said.
"He told me to approach the week like
