You Decide. THURSDAY, MAY 31, 2007 County gears up for hurricane season * OFFICIALS PREDICT AN ABOVE AVERAGE SEASON AGAIN. By ANDREW TAN Alligator Writer atan@alligator.org Alachua County emergency manage- ment chief David Donnelly has been pre- paring for June since January. The hurricane season starts June 1 and last until Nov. 30. Donnelly said his department has helped train several city, county and UF departments for the season. The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration predicted on Tuesday a 75 percent chance of an above-average season for this year. NOAA is expecting 13 to 17 named storms with seven to 10 becoming hurricanes. Three to five may become ma- jor hurricanes, according to the NOAA. "Our preparations are basically the same every year." David Donnelly Alachua County emergency management chief Major hurricanes are stronger than a Category 3 storm, meaning winds will be above 111 miles per hour. Donnelly said the above-average pre- -diction hasn't affected the county's prepa- rations for hurricane season yet. "Our preparations are basically the same every year," he added. The monthly training usually deals with how departments can work together and deal with the problems hurricanes can present. Donnelly said all the departments will be briefed on the hurricane season at the SEE HURRICANE, PAGE 5 ON CAMPUS UPD picking up abandoned bikes nIiUUI .. 1t; r/ llleadLu r OLd.l An abandoned bike sits locked to a rack near the Plaza of the Americas on Wednesday afternoon. Bikes like this are cited with a yellow notice (pictured) and are then removed and auctioned if not claimed. By VALERIE JONES Alligator Contributing Writer Early Tuesday morning, University Police Department Capt. Jeff Holcomb.stalked the UF campus, armed with bright red tags and an industrial-strength stapler. His mission: to rid bike racks of abandoned bicycles. "The main thing is to al- low more space for bike users," Holcomb said. "If you don't have enough space, people will have to park farther away or use another mode of transportation." The UPD tags old bicycles that appear to be left behind by their owners at the end of every semes- ter. Bikes that are not claimed after a month are then impounded, and the bicycles that are still in decent condition are put up for auction. There are usually more tagged bicycles after the spring semester due to students leaving campus, Holcomb said while perusing the bike rack, which held a sparse col- lection of Magnas and Treks. "We try only to tag the ones that look in bad shape," Holcomb said, "like the ones with missing seats and rusted chains." When he finished, Holcomb had only tagged about six bicycles on the racks, leaving some ques- tionable bikes tagless. "I usually try and give it the benefit of the doubt," he said. Owners are given five days to take off the tag. If the tag is removed, that means the bicycle is still in use and it is not impounded. "If you remove it, we can't touch it," Holcomb said. After the five days, employees from the physical plant and UPD load the bicycles that have not SEE BIKES, PAGE 5 Construction to shut down 1-75 exit on Archer Road The three-month project begins Friday By ANDREW TAN Alligator Writer atan@alligator.org Traffic on Archer Road may get worse in the coming months. The Florida Department of Transportation will begin renovation of the Interstate 75 exit on Archer Road Friday, * Led by freshman Tim McKenney, the UF men's golf team is off to a strong start after day one of the NCAA Championships. The Gators are looking for their fifth national title. See story, pg. 19. said project spokesman Chip Skinner. Construction for the $1 million project is- expected to last about three months. Skinner said renovation is starting dur- ing the summer because there are fewer students in Gainesville. He said the de- partment hopes there will be less traffic on Archer Road. "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" The construction of a longer left-turn lane for the eastbound ramp onto 1-75 will cause occasional closures of one lane in either direction on Archer Road. Project Manager Scott Baldwin Around said closures should last Gainesville from June 1 until August. He added the closures would be up to a quarter-mile away from the exit in either direction. The proposed turn lane is expected i A freshly approved birth control pill makes it possible for women to no longer punc- tuate their months with peri- ods at all. Some health care professionals say the only revolutionary aspect of the pill is its marketing strategy. See story, pg. 3. to accommodate about 22 more cars. The current lane fits about 12 cars, Skinner estimated. Traffic signals and signals for sidewalks will be replaced, Skinner said. The new traffic signals will be on an arm that will stand up better in strong weather. The reason for the closure, he added, is-that too many cars in the turn lane may interfere with traffic.

ON CAMPUS Robbery suspect nabbed A man meeting the descrip- tion of a man who robbed a UF student on campus May 18 has been arrested. Aaron Ehrlich, a linguistics junior, was robbed at gunpoint by a man with a .22-caliber handgun, said University Police Department Detective Jeff Moran. Ehrlich was not injured, but the man took his wallet and cell phone. On May 19, Gainesville Police Department arrested Shalyn D. McMiller on charges of armed robbery and carjack- ing. GPD then contacted UPD to say McMiller matched the description of the suspect in the robbery. Ehrlich said the man walked toward him with a bright or- SATURDAY -7 THUNDER STORMS 79/65 SUNDAY - THUNDER STORMS 84/66 MONDAY PARTLY CLOUDY 92/67 ange Mongoose bicycle in tow and asked him for a cigarette and the time. When the man was about 2 feet away, he pointed a gun at Ehrlich and reached into Ehrlich's pocket. He pulled out Ehrlich's cell phone, keys and wallet, but dropped the keys, Ehrlich said. "It was pretty terrifying," he said. Moran said McMiller was carrying the gun and riding the bicycle that matched Ehrlich's description when he was arrest- ed. Ehrlich said when he went to GPD to identify the suspect, he couldn't tell if McMiller looked like the man who robbed him. "I was only like 85 percent sure that it was him," Ehrlich said.

THURSDAY, MAY 31, 2007 0 ALLIGATOR, 3 Period-eliminating pill soon available by prescription iUF CLINIC MAY OFFER THE DRUG TO STUDENTS. By NOEL SANCHEZ Alligator Contributing Writer The newest contraceptive to hit the market may not be so new after all. The Food and Drug Administration approved Lybrel last week, the first federally ap- proved birth control pill meant to completely eliminate periods. But avoiding periods is noth- ing new, said Phylis Brinkman Craig, nurse practitioner at the Women's Clinic at the Student Health Care Center. Most oral contraceptives work in 28-day cycles. Women take their pill daily for three weeks with a Public week off to allow for HIi tR menstruation. Lybrel works the same way, except it is taken con- tinuously. "It's just missing the week *off and is marketed differently," Craig said. "It's basically the same thing." Lybrel comes out in July, and Craig expects that representatives from Wyeth, its manufacturer, will probably come by the SHCC to pitch the drug. She thinks there will be a demand from students, and the pharmacy will eventually carry it in about a year if it can get a good price, she said. Craig also stressed that stop- ping menstruation is not harmful if it is done purposely with birth control. "If you can manipulate your periods to your advantage, I'm all for that," she said. Expert speaks at UF about raising children with autism By KIM WILMATH Alligator Writer kwilmath@alligator.org Like most parents, Christine and Bryan Williams said they wouldn't change a thing about their child. But 5-year-old Christopher is a little dif- ferent. "Does anyone here have infants or tod- dlers under the age of 10 with autism?" asked David Holmes, autism expert, at a speech in Norman Hall on Wednesday night. The Williams weren't the only ones - about five in a crowd of about 70 raised their hands. "Moms and dads aren't crying for a cure. They're crying for more services." David Holmes autism expert "We're going to be talking about your children's futures," Holmes said. "We need services for a lifetime." Most research is focused on diagnosis, but he said recognizing autism is easy. Holmes is the director of a consulting company for families arid individuals with autism, a social disorder. He was hired by Tacachale, a facility in Gainesville that provides round-the-clock care for 474 adults with disabilities, said Becky Dobbin, spokeswoman for the center. Holmes was paid by the center for his speech and for an autism workshop that will take place today. Dobbin said she didn't know how much he was paid. Holmes said what the autistic community needs is more practical behavioral therapy. "Moms and dads aren't crying for a cure," he said. "They're crying for more services." If autistics disappeared from the earth, "we'd lose Nobel Prize winners," Holmes said. "We'd lose heads of physics depart- ments." But he added that it's important to mod- ify the education of autistic children so they can learn to live in the real world. Whatever you do with autistics becomes hardwired in their brains, so any activities that aren't useful later in life shouldn't be introduced to them, he said. If autistic children aren't equipped with appropriate behaviors and phrases to use in certain situations, they might revert to famil- iar phrases or behaviors, he said. Autistics might recycle phrases that have solicited positive responses in the past or mimic phrases they've heard before. In addition, Holmes said because autis- tics are so impressionable, it's important to keep them away from activities that could reinforce violence, such as pornography or some video games. What's make-believe for normal people could offer a dangerous alter ego for people with autism, he said. Before the event, the Williams' said they attended in order to prepare their family for Christopher's future. "(Christopher has) taught us much more than we'll ever teach him," Christine Williams said. "He's a blessing." Charles Hoop / Alligator Staff Dr. David L. Holmes speaks to an audience on "Life after School for Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders" at Norman Hall on Wednesday night.

An Alligator reporter roamed campus this week to find out how students feel about Gainesville's downtrodden. By APRIL DUDASH Alligator Writer How do you feel about the City of Gainesville trying to shut down Tent City? "It's [Tent City's] getting them off the street. Isn't that what everyone's complain- ing about anyway?" -Sean-Patrick Prince, health science junior "They need support. Kicking them out and letting them roam isn't going to fix anything." -Jorge Blanco, classical studies senior "I guess if that's what the city decides to do, there's nothing I can do about it."-Jason Wilkinson, linguistics senior "If you're going to kick them out, at least have a shelter for them to go to." -Jennifer Sundook, philosophy junior "It depends if the person is really needy or they're clinically sick. But if someone is lazy or panhandling, then no." -Jorge Blanco, classi- cal studies senior "Pretty much everyone is against pay- ing more taxes. I'm leaning towards private organizations because they Around are more focused on the Gainesville endeavor." -Daniel Hall, materials science and engi- neering junior "If it's going towards a worthy cause, then yeah. At least I know where my money's go- Would you be willing to pay more taxes if ing." -Sean-Patrick Prince, health science that meant more housing for the homeless? junior If a homeless person comes up to you dur- ing the day/night, what impression does that leave on you? "I never carry cash so it's very awkward. I don't think they believe me." -Max Diaz, anthropology senior "At first its all right. It starts to get a little tiresome. I'll hand out money, but I see those same people out there for months at a time." -Vernal Douglas, electrical engineering ju- nior "I typically feel sorry for them. In a lot of cases, it's not really their fault. I like to believe in second chances for people." -Daniel Hall, materials science and engineering junior - I - HEALTH INSURANCE S"Students need Health Insurance.

On May 22, Lindsey Johns, chairwoman of the Rules & Ethics Committee, named the 14 senators after they failed to complete their requirements. The remaining two senators resigned, said Senate President Robert Agrusa. Former Sens. Cecilia Amador, a Swamp senator who represented graduate students, and Tanaz Vaghaiwalla, a Swamp senator who represented District A, turned in their res- ignations prior to the meeting. Amador was originally voted for expulsion, but Agrusa said she had sent an e-mail informing him of her resignation late Monday night. Johns said Senate Pro Tempore Kevin Reilly, who is also the chairman of the Replacement & Agenda Committee, would take applications for the two seats starting June 5. Student Body statutes require sena- tors to attend four meetings each semester. Senators who' represent living districts must meet with housing groups and at- Agrusa tend City Commission meetings. Those representing UF's colleges must meet with their college's student advisory council and other on-campus student organizations. Senators who don't fill their meeting quota are placed on probation. The Senate voted in support of Johns' committee, which recommended keeping seven of the senators. The other five sent written appeals or delivered them before the Senate. Sen. Lewis Curtwright, a Swamp senator representing District D, began to cry as senators came to his defense. "I never cry about anything," he said after the meeting. "' really learned who my friends are." Curtwright said the experience taught him to be more proactive as a senator but added that he thought the expulsion process was marred by confusion. All senators' appeals cited paperwork errors or inadequate probation notices as reasons for not meeting requirements. Johns said she thinks her committee supplied adequate notice. City, county train for hurricane preparedness HURRICANE, from page 1 beginning of June. During the season, there is not as much time to train departments like Fire Rescue for the city and county because there is always a chance that a hurricane will come into the area. Tim Hayes, assistant fire chief for Gainesville Fire Rescue, said there are benefits to the monthly meetings. "The hurricanes to us is like the earthquakes out in California." Tim Hayes assistant fire chief for Gainesville Fire Rescue "It's a coordinated effort," he added. The training is helpful in preparing city and county departments on the emergency plan as it evolves. Hayes said the plan can change as they figure out better ways to deal with disasters. "The hurricanes to us is like the earthquakes out in California," he said. John Tisdale, transmission and distribution manager for Gainesville Regional Utilities, said his department helps perform maintenance on several power lines. He added that his department helps the city retain power during, a storm by removing trees that may endanger power lines. About a dozen trees have been re- moved or trimmed for this year's hur- ricane season, he said. Most of these trees are damaged by lighting or are dying, Tisdale added.

Bikes auctioned BIKES, from page 1 been claimed.onto large trucks and send them to the bicycle compound, a small, fence-enclosed square lot near Lake Alice. The last bike collection was May 17. Holcomb said 238 bicycles were collected, but further collection was postponed due to lack of space at the compound. The next collection will probably be mid-July, Holcomb added, depending on when UPD finishes tagging all the bicycles. There will also be a bike - On auction before then to clear Campus room in the compound for all the new additions. David Dykes, property manager of Asset Management Services at the physi- cal plant, is in charge of categorizing the bicycles and putting them up for auction online. At the back of the compound, Dykes pointed to a group of somewhat newer- looking bicycles with shiny paint and working parts. "I usually take the best-looking bikes for individual auction," Dykes said. Even if a bicycle has gone up for auc- tion, the owner still has two weeks to reclaim it. "They have until the auction closes," Dykes said.

But then we got to thinking about rare events, and how we might not have a chance to write about this again any time soon. So enjoy this once-in-a-blue-moon edition of... Darts & Laurels We lead off with a double whammy: a this-is-some- thing-that-shouldn't-happen-even-once DART to an embezzling former UF professor and a why-did-you-let- 'this-happen-twice DART to UF for not firing him the first time this happened. In 2004, Paul Wharton, a professor at UF College of Medicine's Jacksonville campus, along with three UF doctors, were reprimanded for embezzling more than $1 million of excess grant money. Wharton resigned in 2005 but not before he embez- zled again, this time for about a quarter of a million. He recently pleaded guilty and received five years' probation, two years' house arrest, and he must pay a $10,000 fine. It astonishes us that embezzling only warrants a slap on the wrist from UF, but we're upset that a man who suppos- edly made a career out of his desire to help others stole money for himself. Up next, we have a how-often-do-those-without- homes-get-evicted DART to the City of Gainesville which has threatened to evict the residents of Tent City. Landowners may be fined for violating zoning laws if they allow the homeless to camp out on their property. The goal of the crack-down is to increase awareness of available ser- vices for the homeless, Gainesville's block grant manager Jim Hencin said. But those "available services" aren't always so avail- able: Shelters have limited beds and many have stipu- lations, such as only accepting women or veterans. Soup kitchens only have so much food. Even the biggest hearts can't help all of Gainesville's nearly 1,000 homeless. As much as we hate'to say it, we can understand why Gainesville doesn't wAnt the homeless staying in public spaces such as the Downtown Plaza. But if private land- owners have no problem with their outdoor guests, well, that should be their business. We hand a way-to-stand-up-to-the-man-for-once LAUREL to Lindsey Johns, chairwoman of the Student Senate Rules and Ethics Committee. She recommended 14 senators be expelled from the Senate for failing to com- plete their required duties. The senate voted Tuesday to keep 12 of them on board. The other two resigned. But what seems like a meaningless gesture is much more by taking the step of actually holding the senators responsible, Johns showed that she is serious about her re- sponsibilities. We aren't surprised none of the 12 senators was voted out see last week's Darts & Laurels but we are happy that some think holding the senators account- able is important. Finally, a you-should-have-literally-darted-the-whales DART to marine scientists tracking two humpbacks, a mother and her calf, that made their way 90 miles up the Sacramento River. Now, before you write angry "Save the whales" letters, we don't mean "dart" as in "harpoon." We love the gentle giants just as much if not. more than anyone else. But we aren't sure why the scientists didn't tag the whales with satellite tracking devices. They got close enough to inject the whales with anti- biotics, so they could have tagged them. But they didn't, blaming gusty winds and malfunctioning equipment, and now they've lost the marine mammals. Scientists believe the pair made it back safely to the Pacific Ocean. We hope it's true, because that's a success story we only hear once in a blue moon. the independent florida alligator Opinions ALLIGATOR www.alligator.org/opinions / Copyrighted Material . t^-Syndicate dContent Available from Commercial News Providers" 4 qm- u - Column Memorial Day has ince the beginning of the Iraq War, Memorial Day seems to have taken on two polar meanings one is carefree and light-hearted, celebrating a day off from work, and the other reflective and concerned with the situation in Iraq. This dichotomy is evident in the news. Over the past few days, most articles relating to Memorial Day focused on either potlucks, springs open- ings and community barbecues, or on controversial war awareness. It is as though we can't make up our mind about what the day should stand for. Most people don't like to think about the war for one reason or another and even fewer like to debate it. Heavily opinionated partisans tend to dominate debates as they shoot off statistics and facts from random, if not biased, sources, oppressing weak debaters. Discussing the war has become like discussing reli- gion: Everyone has personal opinions, and the polite, if not necessary, thing to do is ignore the topic all together. In political science classes, professors make disclaimers about the subject matter because they are afraid of creating tension in class, they make a conscious effort not to reveal their opinions. I suppose I can see why, in certain social situations, the war would be taboo to bring up. And OK, I under- stand how a political science professor's job is to objec- tively explain how the government works. But certainly, out of all the days of the year,'Memorial Day is the day to question our position in Iraq. Memorial Day is a day commemorating those who have died while serving in the U.S. military. When someone dies, it is only natural to look for the reason. However, no one likes to think a loved one died for a du- bious cause. The resulting rationale becomes a case of the stereotypical Republican argument: If you don't support dual meaning the war in Iraq, you don't support t the troops and the families of those who have died. Thus begins the sticky debate so many of us prefer to avoid. i Thinking about the war was ot Atkis never more than a touchy subject Dorothy Atkins I thought best not to discuss. It letters@alligator.org wasn't until my 23-year-old broth- er joined the Army in September that I began rethinking the way I thought about it. Hoping to create a career for himself, he's done well. He survived boot camp and became a medic. He's cur- rently in Airborne School in Georgia. Due to his high achievements, he was offered a spot in Washington D.C. as an honor guard medic. All these achievements, however, just buy him time before his inevitable deployment to the Middle East. SWhen asked if I am proud of my brother, all I can think of is the running list in The New York Times of the troops killed in Iraq. I am proud my brother is doing well in the Army. But in light of this complicated, multifaceted war, I can't see how anyone can justify adding my brother's name to that list. He tells me that he knows what he is getting into, and he says he has come to terms with losing his life for a stable government in Iraq. I wish I were as accepting. Memorial Day was hot and sunny a good day for a swim. I would like to go back to thinking of Memorial Day as a three-day weekend. But until the war is over; I'm afraid it will not only be a reminder of loved ones past, but also of loved ones who may still die. Dorothy Atkins is a junior majoring in English.

By KIM WILMATH Alligator Writer kwilmath@alligator.org A former UF pediatrics professor recently pleaded guilty to a felony charge of embezzle- ment. According to court records, Paul Wharton, a former professor at the UF College of Medicine's Jacksonville campus, received a sentence of five years' probation, two years of house arrest and $10,000 in fines on May 7. The records state that Wharton, who resigned in 2005, embezzled $252,909.97 from two grants received by UF from the Florida Department of Education. Wharton used some of the money to pay for his personal life. Wharton used association funds at Home Depot, Jiffy Lube, Bubbles Car Wash, Target and Publix. He also used money for family vacations to Colorado and Walt Disney World. "This is a very unusual and rare incidence at the University of Florida," said Tom Fortner, spokesman for UP's Health Science Center. Without the stolen funds, Fortner said Wharton made about $140,000 a year. But this wasn't Wharton's first filch of UF funds. According to Alligator archives, in 2004 Wharton and three UF doctors were reprimanded after more than $1 million of excess grant money were transferred into two private foundations. The doctors created two false contracts to move UF money into Wharton's association and the Children's Crisis Center so they could have control over where the money went, according to the records. "This is a very unusual and rare inci- dence at the University of Florida." Tom Fortner spokesman for UF's Health Science Center After the 2004 incident, Wharton was relieved of his lobbying and some administrative duties, Fortner said. The Health Science Center made several changes to try to prevent money from disappear- ing, including an increase in monitoring large amounts of money. Funds must be approved before being moved, Fortner said. Wharton returned all of the stolen money for both cases, according to the records. First blue moon since 2004 to appear By HOLLY GIBBS Alligator Contributing Writer There's an event tonight that happens once in a blue moon. At 9:04 p.m., the first blue moon in North America since July 2004 will appear. A blue moon is a phenomenon that occurs when there are two full moons in a one-month period. The first full moon was May 2. "Two full moons in a month happens about once every 33 months, on average," said Tony Phillips, a UF alumnus and NASA astronomer. The term blue moon, which dates back 400 years, originally referred to something that was rare or absurd. Since then, however, the meaning has been misinterpreted into the modem definition of the second full moon in one month. As for the moon actually appear- ing to be blue, it isn't likely to take on any unusual color, said Francisco Reyes, a UF associate scientist of astronomy and director of the UF Radio Observatory. LOCal "Ifs called a blue ,News moon, but it has I nothing to do with its color," Reyes said. However, Phillips said that because of the ash in the air from the recent regional fires, there is a chance the moon will appear blue, but not a strong one. "To make a good blue filter, the particles of ash need to be of a single size about one micron in diameter," Phillips said. "This kind of special ash is possible."

Kanapaha Botanical Gardens offers a chance to step outside of the whirlwind of classes, work, meetings, parties, bars, clubs and, literally, a chance to stop and smell the roses. Visitors can take a walk down shady trails lined with lily turf and look at thousands of types of plants, everything from blooming roses of a half-dozen different colors and trees ranging from diminutive dwarf trees less than a foot high to towering oaks and magnolias and dense clusters of bamboo. At the home of the Gators, you can encounter a Red Buckeye tree for the first time. Ohio State University fans, with all due respect to Aesculus pavia, it would be tough to come up with a less-inspiring ath- letic mascot. Flowers are everywhere, and during this time of year, roses, lilies and acacias are in bloom. "Something changes every day," said Lisa Finch, a member and frequent visitor to Kanapaha Botanical Gardens. "There's always something new in bloom." The gardens, at 4700 SW 58th Drive, are large and abundant enough to take up an entire morning or afternoon, and there is Charles Roop / Alligator Staff A bee rests on a flower at the Kanapaha Botanical Gardens Tuesday afternoon. plenty for the senses to take in. The gardens are developed and operated by a non-profit educational organization, the North Florida Botanical Society, and the 62 acres under cultivation make Kanapaha Botanical Gardens the second largest of its kind in the state. There are 14 unique collections of plants visible from the paved walkway, which in- cude a wide variety of flora and many rare and exotic species. Garden visitors can pick up new ideas for gardening and landscap- ing and can purchase new plants. On the WillCSide Plants aren't the only side of nature you can observe at the gardens. Its location, near Lake Kanapaha, makes this a prime spot for wildlife sightings. "One thing I like about this garden is that there is a sense of adventure," said Traci Jo Partin, the horticulturist and volunteer co- ordinator at the gardens. "I've seen owls, snakes, skinks, blue herons, and ibises. Every time I go out, there's that thrill that I'm going to see something I've never seen before." Two collections feature plants that are made to attract hummingbirds and but- terflies. Visitors don't have to be naturalists to enjoy a trip to the gardens. The lush green grounds make an ideal setting for picnics, quiet study, first dates or a daytime side trip with visiting parents or grandparents. They also offer an opportunity for volunteer work for students and organizations. A new ginger garden was recently planted in a space that had been overgrown by a non-native species until UF volunteer groups pitched in to remove it. But students aren't the only ones who come to help out. "We have some very dedicated people who've been coming here since practically when the gardens started," Partin said. Lawbreakers who have performed court- mandated community service at the gardens have found the work so rewarding that they have returned to volunteer in their own free time, Partin said. Kanapaha Botanical Gardens has been a fixture in Gainesville since 1978. The name "Kanapaha" derives from the Timucua Indian words for "house" and "Palmetto leaf," which together describe the dwellings of the Native Americans that were on the shore of Lake Kanapaha. Founder and Director Don Goodman has managed the gardens since its inception. It now boasts more than 800 members and continues to expand. Growing Out Construction has begun on a new garden - the Alexander Cook Bowen Children's Garden that is geared toward handi- capped children. This unique garden will include wheelchair-accessible hedge mazes and features that appeal to the senses of hearing and touch, such as a waterfall and a rock wall embedded with engraved designs, with deaf and blind children in mind. "This is a handicapped garden that's accessible to the non-handicapped, not the other way around," said James Bowen, de- signer of the new garden. The garden will be a memorial for Bowen's 2-year-old son Alexander, who died in 2000, according to the garden's Web site. There are also plans for a new conserva- tory in the making. "We'll have to change our map pretty soon," Partin said. "That's exciting to see." If you have the chance, take in a slice of serenity this summer at this natural wonderland. Chill out, walk around, learn something new, do some meaningful vol- unteer work or find a quiet corer and be reminded of what it sounds like to hear yourself breathe, uninterrupted by noise, save the trickling of a waterfall and the chirping of birds. The Kanapaha Botanical Gardens are open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from dawn until dusk. Admission to the park is $5, or an unlim- ited, individual membership is $30 ($25 for students). More information is available at the gardens' Web site, www.kanapaha.org.

A girl I know brought along a friend of hers who proved to be quite the hot item with my buddies and me. Soon, we received warning that this girl, two weeks after her college gradu- ation, is still a virgin. In my mind, this translated into: You're really going to have to bring your A-game if you want to crack this one. For some reason, I have always found it fascnating tt encounter attract e social people \ ho hate i ed ht\o decades and not vet succumbed to the pressure to cash in the '\-card." I'\e alwhvav\ wondered it members of this mnthol:ogcal culture are have more power, options unaware of what they are missing out on, or if they are leaving the rest of us in the dark on the advantages of waiting. I was eager to learn the mysteries of her kind, so I asked her, "Why the wait?" Disregarding the fact that I had only met her the night before, she opened ar, e up. Religion usually hov- ers in the background of a b &W " those who still hold the la'i. . card at 20 years old, but ,- she was simply waiting until marriage. Concerned for her future sexual hap- pness, I pleaded with her: "But what if \-o'ur husband sucks? You'll be trapped It a marriage of bad sex and, lacking the experience to make it right, will be stuck with it for eternity." She made me feel shallow by remind- ing me that there is more to marriage than sex dearly a virgin's perspective. I pulled out my analogy, "But you wouldn't buy a car with- 7 earnedd '. out test driv- *&a : ing it." S h e 1 l explained S, am 7 that she still S "hooks up," f- and if a guy is a bad kisser, he's out of the running. By the end of the conversation, I respected her stance. We went out after we got back to Gainesville that night, and again, she held the interest of a few friends. As I watched her work the bar, PATRICK TROY I real- ized that she had one up on me. I hadn't thought about the strong hand she was holding. We all love the chase, and she had everyone chasing after her I am not the only guy who hears "virgin" as "hasn't met me yet." She dragged our egos through dance after dance, drink after drink and went home with the girls, leaving a group of guys wanting. That night, I learned why girls are so into becoming a born-again virgin. I now claim that I too am a proud holder of my "V-card."

This summer, the UF School of Theatre and Dance is trying to drag the local public out of the usual drink-and-movie rut. Beginning Thursday and running through Aug. 12, six of UF's master of fine arts program actors will sweep the Black Box Theatre's stage. The cast will perform an over-the-top consolidation of You d William Shakespeare's 37 plays that( in a production entitled "The you. Complete Works of Shakespeare have E Abridged." Sa Sarah Modell, production production man manager for UF's School of School of Theatl Theatre and Dance, said three of the six cast members will be featured nightly, performing all the roles in Shakespeare's plays in about 90 minutes. The fast-paced production will be packed with witty dialogue, awkward female imperson- ations and willful mix-ups. The School of Theatre and Dance prepared the improvisation-influenced script to allow for extra input: Members of the audience will have the op- portunity to take an active role in the fun, as the on er It' ahl ag re cast calls for audience participation. "You don't have to be into theater for it to appeal to you," Modell said. "It's a lot of fun, so have a good time." Dialogue throughout the performance will use pop culture and local references, which makes Shakespeare contemporary. Segments of the show will feature the actors engaging in Beastie Boys-style raps to interpret "Othello," as well as a cooking show version of "Titus Andronicus." l't have to be into The unique nature of the for it to appeal to play is increased by its mid- night showings, which will s a lot of fun, so run Friday and Saturday food time. nights. Modell "We thought it would be ,erfor UF's something fun for the col- and Dance lege students that are still in town," Modell said. This is the first time this type of show has been produced at UF, Modell said. The comedic antics in the script and uncon- ventional nature of the production, make for a show that different audiences can enjoy. Tickets cost $9 for students and $13 for the general public.

'Bug' brings paranoia Director William Friedkin, who brought us the one-two punch of "The French Connection" and "The Exorcist" in the early 1970s, directed a new thriller, "Bug," an award-winner at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. .The film, which was released in America on Friday, stars Ashley Judd in one of her few decent roles. Judd's character, Agnes, is a tortured soul of the white-trash persuasion who bonds with a mysterious stranger, Peter, played by Michael Shannon, while she avoids her abusive ex-husband, Jerry, played by Harry Connick Jr. Peter draws Agnes into his world of paranoia, complete with conspiracy theories that incorporate Timothy McVeigh, Ted Kaczynski and a motel room crawling with invisible bugs. The film adapted by Tracy Letts from his off-Broadway hit feels like a play from a past life. The mundane becomes delusional, resulting in an evolution more frightening than that of Regan from innocent child to crab-walk- ing demon in "The Exorcist." It does not come from the devil, DANNY DJELJOSEVIC but from within. The performances of the three principal actors are stellar. Michael Shannon, reprising his role as Peter from the stage performance of "Bug," masters the seemingly harmless (yet very creepy) and spineless character so well that the result is shock and horror when his true nature is re- vealed. "Bug" is as provocative and chal- lenging as it is intense and creepy. The film balances a relationship of conspiracy theories and self-destruc- tive paranoia with one of abuse and patriarchal control to create a truly unsettling experience of paranoia and the human condition.

For Tim McKenney, this golf course brings back good memories. Returning to Golden Horseshoe Golf Club in Williamsburg, Va., where the freshman notched his -' first-ever top-20 finish, McKenney led the way for the UF men's golf team on day one of the NCAA ' Championships. -" Carding a 66 (4 under par) in the opening round, - McKenney is currently tied for second overall. K, "Tim was huge for us today," UF coach Buddy Alexander said. "He had been a little off during the . spring, but he got something to click today, and he made a lot of nice putts. If you want to win a champion- ship, you need someone to step up big each day, and Tim was that guy for us this afternoon." H" "We played smart, consistent golf-today, and it showed in our scores." Buddy Alexander UFcoach .W The team shares a similar spot on the leaderboard as they begin their pursuit for a fifth national title. The No. 7 Gators combined to fire a 278 (2 under) on the day, landing themin a three-way tie for third only 3 strokes behind leader No. 2 Stanford. "We played smart, consistent golf today, and it showed in our scores," Alexander said. "We're throw- ing out a 72, and that's only two over par. You can do a lot worse than that, especially at the NCAA Championships. It was great to see five guys hang right in there all day and play a solid round as a group." Once ranked as the top team in the nation, the Gators showed why they're capable of living up to the hype they carried into the spring. The lineup, which has been shuffled all season, seems to be clicking at the right time. This match marks the fourth time this group has played as a unit and only the first time all season the teammates have played in the same positions for con- secutive outings. SEE GOLF, PAGE 20 Statement needs to be made for UF baseball his time two years ago, the UF base- ball team was beginning a run that took it just one step short of reach- ing the pinnacle of its sport. After two straight seasons of mediocri- ty and disappointment, it's amazing how distant two years ago can seem. As many of you fade into the nostalgia of those treasured days of the past, think of how long ago 17 years can seem. That's how long the UF baseball team went without a losing season prior to fin- ishing 29-30 this past year. The last time the Gators finished with a losing record, Steve Spurrier hadn't yet Bryan Jones Bryan Out Loud bjones@alligator.org Alligator File Photo After a strong start, sophomore Billy Horschel and the Gators are tied for third following day one of the NCAA Golf Championships. SEC cT rc 9Y eto .- .0Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" coached a game for UF's football team, the other George Bush was president of the United States and the Cold War was still going on. That's a long time ago. And that's why somebody has got to go. Whether it's fair or not, someone has to send the message that mediocrity, let alone losing seasons, will not be tolerated at UF. It seems harsh, but this is a school that has prided itself on unprecedented ath- letic success during Jeremy Foley's reign as athletic director. That's why UF coach Pat McMahon's predecessor, Andy Lopez, was fired de- spite two Southeastern Conference titles and two College World Series appearances in seven years. Lopez was let go just three years after reaching his second College World Series with the Gators. Is it fair to fire McMahon just two years removed from reaching the College World Series in 2005? You can certainly make the argument that McMahon deserves at least another season. That 2006 team that floundered despite enormous expectations wasn't as loaded with talent as it was made out to be.

STAFF REPORT Senior first baseman Matt LaPorta was named a second-team Louisville Slugger All-American on Wednesday, while the UF softball team had two players honored as well. LaPorta finished the year with a .402 batting average and smacked 20 home runs with 52 RBI. Arizona State's Brett Wallace beat out LaPorta for first-team honors at the first base position. Wallace is batting .426 with 15 home runs and 73 RBI. Stephen F. Austin first baseman Steven Hill was selected over LaPorta for the des- more pitcher ignated-hitter spot on the team. Hill hit .385 with 24 home runs and 73 RBI. LaPorta did win first- team All-America honors after his sophomore sea- son when he hit .328 with 26 homers and 79 RBI. Meanwhile, sopho- Stacey Nelson was named to the second team after finishing the year with a 34-14'record and an ERA of 0.95. She struck out 285 batters and allowed 205 hits in 318 innings of work. Nelson was joined by fellow sopho- more second baseman Kim Waleszonia, who took home third-team honors. Waleszonia finished the year with a .365 average. She also scored 46 runs and drove in 29 RBI. Horschel named to second-straight PING All-Southeast Region Team GOLF, from page 19 Aside from McKenney's out- standing play, the team was consis- tent up and down the lineup. Junior Manuel Villegas contin- ued his improved play, tallying a 70 (even) in day one. Villegas is cur- rently tied for 29th. Sophomore Billy Horschel, coming off a tie for first at the East Regional, notched a 71 (1 over), good for a tie for 51st. Joining him is junior Tyler Brown, who fired a 71 (1 over) as well. Rounding out the lineup is soph- omore Toby Ragland, who shot a 72 (2 over) to tie for 66th. The confident Gators, who won the Preview Invitational on the same course this fall, will now look to carry their momentum into the second day Golf ofplay. UF will tee off for round two early this morning. "There's a saying in golf that you can't win a tournament on the first day, but you can lose it, and we certainly didn't do that today," Alexander said. "We got off to a good start and made a lot of putts. It was definitely nice to get going with a good round and have a positive start to build on." HORSCHEL HONORED: Horschel was recently named to the PING All- Southeast Region team. For Horschel, the nation's sec- ond-ranked golfer, this is his second time earning the honor in as many years. It joins a list of accolades that includes Southeastern Conference Player of the Year and first team All- SEC selection. OUT LOUD, from page 19 Tommy Boss, the team lost so much pitching and defense that a talented lineup constantly found itself trying to claw from several runs behind. On many occasions it appeared to have acquired the mental epidemic of swing- ing for the fences. And after losing tons of talent to the draft following that season, the team actually im- proved in 2007, earning, a spot in the SEC Tournament. But with Matt LaPorta, college baseball's equivalent of Barry Bonds (in offensive prow- ess, not character) leaving the lineup, it's Going to take a minor miracle to replace that offensive production. The team will also lose outfielders Brian Leclerc and Austin Pride, leaving shortstop Cole Figueroa as the team's only returning productive hitter. And if junior Bryan Augenstein decides to head for the draft, the pitching staff will once again take a major hit, losing its best starter as well as its closer, David Hurst. Surely, even McMahon has to wonder if his team is heading in the right direction after consecutive mediocre seasons. Whether McMahon deserves to stick around is up to Foley, but if McMahon stays, perhaps it's time to cut ties with his assistant coaches. In some way, shape or form, something within the program needs to change. Either UF isn't bringing in strong enough talent to win consistently or that talent isn't being developed the way it should be. And unfortunately, the way you make a statement in sports is to fire somebody. If you don't make that statement, you are admitting to your fans and to potential re- cruits that mediocrity is acceptable at UF, and that is something a program simply can't do if it wants to be successful. Foley hasn't been shy about pulling that trigger before, most recently with former women's basketball coach Carolyn Peck. It's just sad that such a message inevitably has to come at the expense of a good person losing a job. And if McMahon doesn't return for a seventh season, then that is exactly what will have happened.
