You Decide. TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 2008 UF looks to next . year after loss. . . By KYLE MAISTRI Alligator Writer email@example.com OKLAHOMA CITY UF out- scored Texas A&M 6-2 on Sunday. Unfortunately for the No. 1 Gators (70-5), the teams played two games. After a .3-2 loss to Louisiana- Lafayette on Thursday, UF came back and won three in a row to put itself in position to advance to the Women's College World Series Championship Series against Arizona State with one more win. But for the second season in a row, the No. 5 Aggies (57-8) ended the Gators' postseason, this time with a 1-0 decision that took nine innings. Junior Stacey Nelson exchanged zeros with A&M senior Megan Gibson, but in the end the Aggies were able to get the big hit that would be the difference in the pitch- ers' duel. UF left Oklahoma City as one of the final four teams in the tourna- ment, and the owners of the best run differential (7) for any team in the tournament other than ASU. Of the Gators' five losses this season, four of them came by a score of 1-0. The national championship hope is over for the Orange Softball and Blue, but this year's team enjoyed the most successful season in the 11- year history of UF softball. "It's tough to lose, but I don't know of any other team that has gone or ever will go 70-5," coach Tim Walton said. "It's unbelievable."

GPD tackles youth crime By ZAHARA ZAHAV Alligator Writer As local high school students start summer vacation this Thursday, the Gainesville Police Department is bracing itself for a potential increase in juvenile crime. Police are taking notice of the ten- sion building among rival neighbor- hoods in east Gainesville after about 35 teenagers were found fighting at the Northeast Pool near Waldo Road two weeks ago. The department is looking for ways to keep juvenile crime and gang involvement from increasing during months when school is out of session. July, August and September were peak months in 2006 for crime com- mitted by residents under 18, accord- ing to data compiled by the State For once, Stacey Nelson wasn't the most dominat- ing pitcher on the mound as she went against several other top-notch hurlers in the Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City. See Story, Page 16 Attorney's Office. GPD Capt. Lonnie Scott said one way to combat juvenile crime is to address violence among local gangs in east Gainesville. "It's kids' stuff handled with adult violence." Lonnie Scott GPD captain Police are investigating the in- volvement of two rival groups, the Northeast 15th Street and the Northeast 8th Avenue gangs, in the Waldo Road fight. "It's all about territory," Scott said. "It's kids' stuff handled with adult violence."

He was 79. Born in McComb, Miss., as Otha Ellas Bates, Diddley went on to alter not 6nly his guitar he -played a rectangular one but also the sound of rock 'n' roll. Diddley's famous "bomp ba-bomp bomp, bomp bomp" rhythm is imitated in many rock hits like Tom Petty's "American Girl, The Who's "Magic Bus" and Bruce Springsteen's "She's the One." He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and awarded both a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame and a lifetime achievement award in 1999 at the Grammy Awards. Diddley, who lived in the Gainesville area for more than 20 years, was known in the community for his kindness, said Buster Lipham, owner of Lipham Music, where Diddley frequently shopped. Diddley occasionally played at schools and fundraisers around Gainesville, Lipham said. "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" 5 Fla. Gov. Charlie Crist signed a bill Wednesday aimed at lower- ing students' textbook costs. See story, Page Four. "He was always in here looking for the latest music technology," he said. "That was Bo. Always inventing. Always doing some- thing before everybody else." Lipham, who proudly displays the cher- ry-red rectangular guitar Diddley signed ago, said-Diddley's "Who an gavcue chicken, his mother's recipe.Do You Love?" always one of Diddley he should gone into the chicken business instead." Tom Holtz, who has worked at Lipham's Music for more than 20 years, said he thought Diddley's work is underappreciated because so many artists covered his songs and used his beats. "He's one of the originals," Holtz said. "There wasn't anything stuck-up about him. He just loved music." Plans for Diddley's funeral could not be determined by press time.

According to Beth Waltrip, director of campus programs, the Reitz Union Board of Managers decided to move the Office of Student Activities into the Centei for Student Involvement, which is currently located across the hall on the third floor. Several conference rooms are being converted into offices, creating room for additional cu- bides. Previously, only 50 of the approximately 750 student orga- nizations were accommodated in the office. With the change, seven tc eight additional cubicles have been created for other organiza- tions. Merging the offices will also make space for the staff of the new Director of Studeni Activities and Involvement, Nancy Chrystal-Green. As the offices are emptied, they have to be cleaned and painted before an organization moves in. The change will be completed within the next two weeks.

I ~ TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 2008 0 ALLIGATOR, 3 UF adds sustainability minor for fall semester 18-credit minor to complement a variety of majors By MAGGIE LAWRENCE Alligator Contributing Writer A new minor in sustainability studies will be available this fall for UF students who want to try their hands at ecologically friendly practices in an academic setting. The minor, offered through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, is an interdisciplinary program spanning multiple col- leges and departments in an effort to include as many majors as pos- sible, said Les Thiele, UF political science professor and the minor's faculty adviser. "It's not out of the question that we could have hundreds and hundreds, or even thousands, of students taking it as a minor," Thiele said. The minor's requirements amount to an 18-credit-hour program that includes a gateway course, Facets of Sustainability, and an optional capstone course, Sustainability in Action, which has a service learning, internship or integrative research project com- ponent, according to the proposal prepared by a joint student-faculty committee. The remaining credits can be earned from a list of courses di- vided into four clusters: Ethics, Culture and Human Behavior; Economics, Law and Policy; Production UF Systems and Academics the Built Environment; and Ecology and Environmental Stewardship. Students must complete one course from each cluster, accord- ing to the proposal. "Students can apply for the cap- stone course or substitute it with an individually obtained intern- ship with approval from Thiele. Students who do not choose to take the capstone course must complete a fifth course from any of the clusters. SThose who have previously taken classes within the required clusters can apply those credits retroactively toward receiving the minor. Internships and service-learn- ing opportunities may be.Nffered locally and on campus in a "town and gown" effort, Thiele said. Although not directly involved with the minor's academic coor- dination, many of the internships will be provided through the Office of Sustainability, which will create a database of service-learn- ing opportunities open to students taking the capstone course, said Dedee DeLongpre, the office's director. Plans for sustainability's aca- demic future at UF may include a graduate minor or certificate pro- gram, but anything beyond that seems unlikely. This mindset is in contrast to the programs offered at Arizona State University, where students can earn a minor, major, graduate degree and doctorate degree in sustainability, DeLongpre said. "Maybe it's not obvious that we're in real trouble as a human species and a society," she said. "The things that we rely on for life itself are in jeopardy. There aren't enough people telling that story." Jade Ward, a UF psychology senior, said she thinks the minor is an amazing opportunity for students. "While sustainability isn't a future career for me, it will be great to graduate with an official minor and incorporate what I have learned into a way of life," Ward said.

SAYS ONE FACTOR IS INCREASED WEALTH IN INDIA, CHINA. By CHRISTOPHER MYERS Alligator Writer As gas prices in Gainesville climb past the $4 mark, Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Charles H. Bronson has called on Congress and the Bush admin- istration to conduct an in-depth investiga- tion into rising gasoline costs. The investigation would be aimed at finding the root cause of skyrocketing fuel prices, whether it is increased wealth in China and India or even price gouging at the pumps. "He's looking for a top-to-bottom thor- ough investigation," said Terence McElroy, department spokesman. ' McElroy said the investigation would consider what roles private investors and speculators play in the gasoline market-, what roles gas companies play and other potential factors. "We just want to get to the bottom of it," McElroy said. UF economics professor Ma&i Rush said a number of factors are contributing to the rise in gas prices, including the depreciation of the U.S. dollar and the increased standard of living in China and India. "In China and India, you have people's incomes rising 10 percent or so a year," Rush said, "and when they get to a certain level, they want to buy a car." Rush said that this increase in the amount of cars worldwide increases the demand for petroleum, which would ,,.. j cause a rise in the price of "' gasoline. As these coun- tries industrialize, they also require more energy J k to produce electricity, i which sometimes comes from oil. L Rush said while oil Hanrahan companies could poten- tially increase the production of oil, they probably wouldn't because they benefit from the higher prices. This means that the supply of oil will remain somewhat fixed while the demand will constantly increase. Furthermore, Rush said that gas prices won't continue to skyrocket indefinitely, unless a natural disaster affects the pro- duction of oil. He added that China, India and the U.S. are going through recessions, which will consequently slow the increasing demand for petroleum. "They won't rise at the clip they have risen over the past six months or so," Rush said. Gainesville Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan said the city is trying to come up with in- novative ways to decrease the demand for gasoline within Gainesville. "What we're trying to do from the city's perspective is to provide citizens with alternate modes of transportation," Hanrahan said. PUBLIC SAFETY UF prepares for hurricane season Tribute to Trains Riley Ray-Chambers, 4, watches model trains pass by during a Yulee Railroad Days train show at the Matheson Museum Saturday afternoon. Textbook bill to help students save Book info must be listed earlier By ELIZABETH LEVA Alligator Writer Anew Florida law may provide the solution to a dilemma that has challenged bargain hunters for years rushing to buy textbooks at discounted prices before classes begin. Gov. Charlie Crist signed a bill Wednesday requiring community colleges and state universities to post lists of required textbooks and their International Standard Book Numbers, or ISBN, on their Web sites at least 30 days before classes begin. Kevin Reilly, UF Student Body President, said providing the information early gives students time 'to explore Web, sites,. book- stores, wholesalers and even classmates to find the most rea- sonably priced book. Providing the ISBN elimi- nates confusion students may encounter when trying to locate different editions and versions of textbooks, Reilly added. Bookstores will also be able to offer higher buyback State refunds for students News because they will know whether the books will be used the next se- mester, he added. Reilly said seeing the proposal passed into law excited him and the rest of the Gator Party because it is an initiative on the party's platform. , "This bill provides a lot of great benefits for students and consum- ers," he said. Ron LaFace, a lobbyist rep- resenting the UF student body, said students and lobbyists have pushed to get this law passed for almost five years. The bill was originally present- ed as a request for tax exemption on college textbooks. It did not get passed because it was determined to be too costly when compared with the relatively insignificant amount of money it would save students, LaFace said. The bill evolved as ideas on how to reform textbook purchas- ing practices in the most effective way changed, LaFace said. "It is finally a law," he said. "The results are just a matter of .when it kicks in." ' By ELIZABETH LEVA Alligator Writer The advent of the six-month hurricane season arrived Sunday, captivating the atten- tion of UF weather experts and emergency officials. The season's first tropical storm, named Arthur, dis- solved quickly after making its Atlantic debut Saturday. But UF geography profes- sor Corene Matyas said meteo- rologists are on alert because it is rare to have activity this early in the season. Matyas said she expects normal to above-normal ac- tivity this season from the Atlantic Ocean Basin, which spans the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. The season ends Nov. 30. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a 60 to 70 percent chance of having 12 to 16 tropical storms, six to nine hurricanes and two to five intense hurricanes, defined as those that have winds of more than 111 mph. The predictions may seem threatening, but they should not send citizens into a tizzy, Matyas said. "People erroneously take these forecasts as how many storms and hurricanes will strike land," she said. "But many dissipate before they ever make landfall." Because there is no way to predict how many storms will actually touch ground, Matyas said people should prepare for the worst. Kenneth Allen, UF emer- gency management coordina- tor, said UF will be prepared for as many storms as the season may bring, despite the challenges of securing a large campus. UF will add the Steinbrenner Band Building to its list of hur- ricane shelters, which includes Southwest Recreation Center and the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom. UF used those buildings as shelters in 2004, when hur- ricanes Frances, Jeanne and Charley stormed through Florida. Construction on the band- building is expected to wrap up this summer. "We are always working to improve what we have done in the past. This year's improvements can certainly make a differ- ence." Kenneth Allen UF emergency management coordinator While most buildings are constructed solidly enough to withstand heavy impact, some parts of campus, such as Elmore Hall and the Health Science Center, tend to flood and require extra attention during a storm, Allen said. Depending on a storm's proximity, UF can post up- dates and alerts on its Web site or send e-mails and text mes- sages to students, faculty and staff notifying them of evacau- ations or canceled classes. UF did not have the emer- gency text messaging system last hurricane season. "We are always working to improve what we have done in the past," Allen said. "This year's improvements, can. certainly make a differ-, TUESDAY, JUNE 3,2008 U ALLIGATOR, 5 City leaders discuss plans for 2009 * COMMISSIONERS FOCUS ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING, SUSTAINABILITY PROJECTS. By CHRISTOPHER MYERS Alligator Staff Writer The Gainesville City Commission discussed plans to increase the amount of affordable, low-cost city housing during a Monday workshop focused on the city's plans and budget for the 2009 fiscal year. Commissioner Jack Donovan said less than 10 percent of Gainesville's residences are considered "af- fordable housing." Donovan said taxes'collected from developers can be put to use by creating incentives for building af- fordable housing. "For the private sector, profit is the bottom line," he said. Commissioners also discussed trying to get busi- nesses, including apartment complexes, to increase recycling. "I feel like our apartment complexes underuse their recycling resources," Commissioner Lauren Poe said. The idea of the city providing vegetable waste composts was also discussed, although Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan said it is a trade-off because of the vermin it attracts. In addition to discussing upcoming plans, the workshop gave new commissioners the opportunity to voice their opinions. Commissioner Thomas Hawkins said that ideal development in Gainesville would be "pedestrian oriented" with a large number of two-lane streets and intersections in a grid system. Hawkins referred to downtown Gainesville, east of 13th Street, as an ideal model for what the city should look like. He then contrasted downtown Gainesville with the area around Butler Plaza, which has only three roads surrounding it and large parking lots. Poe presented after Hawkins -K iand emphasized eco-friendly proj-, ects that would reduce energy con- sumption. He listed transportation as a big energy consumer and suggested Donovan more efficient bus routes, including long-anticipated improvements to the RTS system. Commissioner Craig Lowe agreed with Poe, sug- gesting that RTS move toward a grid-like system. "We need to work toward making RTS more ef- ficient for the user," Lowe said. Many of the commissioners agreed that some of the bus routes are long and needlessly meandering and said making those routes more efficient would be an important project to work on over the next year. Library gets tune-up Only two years after a $30-million makeover, Library West administrators have realized some of the building's floors cannot handle the pressure of being a campus hotspot. The library's cork flooring on the first, second and third floors will be replaced during the break between summer terms, forcing the library to dose June 20 through June 29. The cork tiles are peeling at the edges due to heavy foot traffic, said Barbara Hood, the-library's spokeswoman. "You can just see as you walk through the main traffic areas that they're just not holding up the way U F the architect and the builders thought they Projects would," Hood said. The new flooring will be made of marble and granite recycled chips, she said. An information booth will be set up in front of the library's entrance during the construction period so students, faculty and staff can check out reference materials. Borrowed items can be returned to the drive-up book return or at another UF library Bill Covey, interim director for UF library support services, said the project would be funded by money left over from Library West's mammoth three-year renovation. The library reopened Aug. 2,2006. Covey said he did not expect the cost to be more than $200,000.

It now appears that we have been duped. A recently released report commissioned by the United Faculty of Florida suggests UF has plenty of cash on hand to prevent (or at least postpone) faculty and staff layoffs, as well as degree program termination or enrollment freezes. According to the report, UF had an astounding $131 mil- lion of unspent, unrestricted funds at the conclusion of the 2007 fiscal year. Furthermore, the report indicates that UF's reserve funding has not dropped below $81 million in the past five years, beginning with the 2003 fiscal year. These unrestricted funds are legally available for use toward op- erating costs, such as faculty and staff salaries, and other expenses. The administration's reasoning for failing to use its pecuniary surplus in these areas is at best disappointing and at worst a disingenuous and duplicitous power play. The administration contends that most of the money - about $85 million has been set aside for UF's sustainabil- ity programs and for new equipment, such as computers, while the remaining $45 million is being saved in case of ad emergency, such as a hurricane. The powers that be insist the residual funds cannot be spent on saving jobs or degree programs because doing so would amount to a one-time fix for a long-term problem. This lackluster argument flies in the face of UF's financial figures for the past five years. What's more, the administration has mounted the hal- low and nebulous defense that the $45 million reserve is the minimum amount requisite to maintain "the best business practices." We're sorry, we must not have gotten the memo that says running UF like a business that is, turning what amounts to a profit every year for the past five years is the best way to promote an environment conducive to higher edu- cation. While it is not lost on us that UF's multibillion-dollar budget and several thousand employees make adopting a business-like disposition towards the operations manage- ment of the university necessary, we roundly reject the as- sertion that this fact requires the administration to embrace the empty ethos of corporate America. At UF, the bottom line is not profits, it is quality of edu- cation, and the shareholders are not the Board of Trustees, they are the students and faculty. The similarities between the purportedly imperative budget cuts now on the verge of realization and budgeting tightening proposals of times past raise serious questions about the veracity of the administration's claims. Is it pos- sible the suits at Tigert Hall are exploiting the state fund- ing crisis as cover to make long desired changes, changes that under normal circumstances were too controversial to implement? We can't know for certain. What we do know is that transparency and shared-gov- ernance has not been the modus operandi of the adminis- tration during this painful budget-cutting process. While we value the sentiment of saving for a rainy day, it is incomprehensible to us that Machen and the UF Administration could possibly be oblivious to the financial maelstrom, tantamount to a torrential downpour, that our university is suffering through at present. It is in these tough times that we need principled, prescient and perspicacious leadership. Up to now, those entrusted with the immense responsibility of providing our university with such leadership have failed us on all counts. the independent florida alligator Devin Culclasure EDITOR Jessica Ponn MANAGING EDITOR Joshua Fredrickson OPINIONS EDITOR Re The Alligator encourages comments from readers.

Vote or post a message at www.alligator.org' Letters to the Editor Reaction to cartoon was unfounded I was extremely offended and surprised by LaShanta Harris' letter published in the May 27 edition of the Alligator regarding the cartoon with black hands. I don't understand what has to be done in this country to avoid being racist! Would it be okay if the cartoon had white hands? Or red? Or yellow? Would it still be racist then? Racism is truly kept alive by those who look for it. I never even noticed that the hands were black. And I'm sure I wouldn't care what color they were. To limit someone's creative ability for the risk of it coming off racist is ridicu- lous. But I guess the solution is simple: pur- ple hands from now on. Jonathan Spiewak 2LS Cartoon reaction reaching to find racism This is in response to the letter to the editor by LaShanta Harris. Harris deems the editors of the Alligator as insensitive for publishing Ryan Moulton's Opinions c turning the hands of an Africa holding a gun. I think that it's insensitive t the only proper way to draw would have been for the gun hands of a white man. Harris' quick assumption judgments are what fuel racial in this country. And might I point out tl spent more time evaluating t of the cartoon rather than s a nonexistent, subconscious she might have noticed that t the cartoon are not dark skin actually gloved. The forearms are white!

Joshua Niederriter CLAS Senator, Orange and Blue Party 0 0 E Editorial on Clinton comments misguided Commenting on Hillary Clinton's RFK gaffe in the May 27 edition of The Alligator, the editorial board mentions that Clinton could have provided more re- cent examples of Democratic nominations running on into June, in particular the Carter-Kennedy race and the Mondale- Hart race. The editorial board points out the sinis- ter fact that she didn't mention those rac- es. I'm no mind reader, but I can think of a couple reasons why a Democratic hopeful might not want to associate her campaign in any way with candidates who were roundly defeated by Republicans. Her options were, therefore, quite limited. Maybe before accusing someone of something "abominable" or "unspeak- able," the editorial board ought to con- sider other possible explanations for the questioned conduct. David N.

Dvir spent one of his first days as cameraman in February 2007 hanging from the side of a Jeep Cherokee speeding down U.S. Highway 19 while about 5,000 motorcycles whizzed by. The bikers rode for Jessie's Memorial Ride, an event to honor 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford of Homosassa, Fla., who was raped and mur- dered in 2005 by a sex offender living across the street. Dvir, a UF graduate student, dangled precariously from the passenger side window at times and stood halfway out the win- dow at others, filming across the car roof. All the while, co-director and classmate Goldman worked her own magic behind the wheel, careful to avoid not only the bik- ers but the police patrolling the event. The duo had not asked permission to ride alongside the procession. "I did some pretty maverick Sarah Hsu / Alligator Staff Boaz Dvir, a graduate student in the UF Documentary Institute, poses in his office in Weimer Hall Tuesday with graduate Rebecca Goldman. driving, and he did some pretty maverick acrobatics," Goldman said. Eventually, police stopped the daring cinematographers, but they talked their way out of it, Dvir said. , The ride footage from about a year and half ago was the first of more than 130 hours of video that Dvir, 40, and Goldman, 24, shot documenting the life of Jessica's father, Mark Lunsford. Dvir, a graduate student of UF's Documentary Institute, and Goldman, a recent institute alum- na, showed a 46-minute version of the film at an on-campus screen- ing on May 2. The documentary, called "Jessie's Dad," has already received invitations to two major film festivals. Dvir, also director of com- munications for UF's College of Journalism and Communications, will pitch the film to TV produc- ers at the sixth annual Silverdocs Film Festival on June 17 as one of six student documentaries invited nationwide. The panel will include representatives from PBS and the Discovery Channel, among others. In August, the pair will travel to Colorado Springs to screen the film during the University Film and Video Association's annual conference. For Dvir and Goldman, the festivals are launching pads for the film's message, one of a man dedicated to intensifying laws and restrictions against sexual predators. In the documentary, Lunsford fights to pass Jessica's Law in all 50 states. Atleast some part of the act has been passed in 34 states, Goldman said. "We want as many people as possible to see it," Dvir said. "It can raise awareness, get people talking, get people thinking and maybe save a child." Dvir, who is also from Homosassa, started following the story when his small hometown, about 75 miles north of Tampa, began appearing in news articles. Over time, Dvir's interest in the case grew to a fascination with the character of Lunsford, a truck driver with a 10th-grade educa- tion who was fast becoming an outspoken political activist. "He transformed in front of our cameras. We were very lucky to be able to capture that." Boaz Dvir UF College of Journalism and Communications director of communications "He transformed in front of our cameras," Dvir said. "We were very lucky to be able to cap- ture that." Dvir and Goldman followed Lunsford on trips to* promote Jessica's Law in Washington, D.C., Utah and several cities in Florida, as well as on a family reunion to Ohio. They spent their $5,500 budget allotted by the institute. Then they were awarded $2,000 in grant money from two separate prizes never before won by UF students the Carole Fielding Student Grant and the Direct Cinema Limited Outstanding Documentary Award. Finally, they started funding out-of-pocket. Neither kept close track, but together they have spent more than $3,000. After countless hours of film- ing, traveling and much sacrificed sleep, editing presented a new challenge letting go of trea- sured shots. "It's a painful process," Dvir said. "You throw away a lot of ba- bies. If it didn't fit, it had to go." Goldman said the process is not over. The two plan to film more scenes before taking their finalized version of the film to festivals. "You're never done making a film," she said. "People take years to make a documentary. We had a year and a half, and we were bat- tling this learning curve along the way." Despite any disadvantages, the documentary has already had an impact. For some, like UF journalism professor Mike Foley, the film changed opinions of Lunsford, who was widely criticized for his motives behind Jessica's Law. "I wondered before I saw it whether he was a spotlight-seek- ing phony taking advantage of the situation," Foley said. Foley, who went to the May 2 screening as a friend of Dvir, left impressed with not only the docu- mentary, but also with Lunsford, he said. "I think it did everything a documentary's supposed to do," he said. "It really gives you a per- spective on the whole thing." Events aim to unite community JUVENILE, from page 1 the community against heated, growing rivalries. The first event, "Operation Respect Yourself," was held Saturday at the Northeast Pool. The aim of the program was to teach conflict resolution skills that emphasize walking away from fights and having self-respect before respect for a gang or neighborhood, Scott said. Orlando Alvarez, a GPD juvenile resource detective, said he views the spread of national gangs within Gainesville as a problem that needs to be addressed along with the es- tablishment of local gangs. The Crips, the Bloods, the Latin Kings and the Gangster Disciples are all showing a growing presence in east Gainesville, Alvarez said, though they are nowhere near as dominant as they are in larger cit- ies. Detective James McCollum, who also specializes in juvenile crime, said the city of Gainesville cannot afford'to ignore the increasing membership. "Gainesville looks quiet and small when you're coming from Miami," McCollum said. "But we still need to be careful or this issue will sneak up - on us." John Alexander, who helps oper- ate the Reichert House, an after- school program for at-risk youth in east Gainesville, spoke at the event about his experiences growing up in Gainesville and trying LOCal to avoid the entrenched News neighborhood groups. "When you don't get a sense of who you are from your parents because they're not around, you look to your neighborhood for your identity," Alexander said in an interview after the event. He said young people risk so much to defend their neighborhood pride because they are struggling with an identity crisis and because there are few positive activities for them to partake in. "We've got to provide things to do or else kids will find 'extracur- ricular activities' on the streets," he said.

By KYLE MAISTRI Alligator Writer email@example.com OKLAHOMA CITY What do UF, UCLA, Alabama, Texas A&M, Arizona State and Virginia Tech have in com- mon? They were six of the eight teams in the Women's College World Series. But more importantly, they each had a first-team All-American pitcher. Of the six pitchers who made the list, every last one of them led their team to -Oklahoma City. Alabama is the only one of those schools with two All-American pitchers. Freshman Kelsi Dunne made the third team for the Crimson Tide and handled the majority of her team's innings, but sophomore first-teamer *Charlotte Morgan the nation's RBI leader - posted the lowest ERA for her team. The large number of supremely tal- ented hitters who dug in at Hall of Fame Stadium over the last week only made the importance of a team's pitcher more apparent. The Gators posted the highest run to- tal by a team in a single game when they scored six against the Aggies. When the Gators built a 4-1 lead in that game, A&M coach Jo Evans pulled Harrison Diamond / Aigator her All-American Megan Gibson to save UF pitcher Stacey Nelson throws a pitch during the Gators' win over her for game two. Mercer on Feb. 13. Nelson was a big part of UF's WCWS run. SEE PITCHERS, PAGE 19 UF BASEBALL Gators see bright future ahead By SHANNON McCARTHY Alligator-Staff Writer email@example.com The Gators saw their season end on Saturday after- noon at the hands of their in-state rivals, but one thing the Seminoles couldn't snuff out was the promise of a bright future. Though the 17-11 thrashing UF suffered at the hands of Florida State will be the lasting memory of the sea- son until baseball starts anew, coach Kevin O'Sullivan hopes that what his team accomplished won't be over- looked. "I'm awfully proud of the way they competed this entire year," he said. "No one thought that they'd be in a regional when this thing started. They picked us to finish eleventh in the league, and we ended up finish- "I don't want this last game to be a defin- ing thing about our team. I want our team to be remembered as a team that battled and hopefully started a long tradition of getting into the postseason year in and year out." Kevin O'Sullivan UF baseball coach ing third. We did a lot of things that people didn't think we'd do, and those are the things that we'll try to reflect back on and feel good about.

I watched Stacey Nelson tear up during the post- game press conference Sunday night after los- ing to Texas A&M. Not because she had lost the game, but because she wasn't Mike DiFerdinando ready to say goodbye -Mike'd Up to her friend Mary firstname.lastname@example.com Ratliff. She wasn't ready for it all to be over. Not yet. "I'm not sad about the loss as much as I'm sad about it being over," Nelson said. "I'm sad about losing Mary Ratliff (the team's only senior). Looking back on the season, playing with all the girls was just enough for me to leave here and be happy with what we did." Maybe winning a championship isn't everything. Maybe the journey really is more important than the destination. Just maybe, this last weekend really was everything that the UF softball team could have ever asked for. The Gators have been knocked out of the Women's College World Series, but the strides that the UF softball program has taken in a year are re- markable. At the start of the season, their goal was just to make the WCWS, but after coming so dose to a championship that goal was dearly surpassed. It would be hard to imagine that after winning three consecutive WCWS games and sending home NCAA Player of the Year Angela Tincher and UCLA All-American pitcher Anjelica Selden in back-to- back games, the Gators didn't think that they could go all the way. Maybe they were too young? Maybe they're just one year away? Well, maybe. Regardless, it shouldn't take away from what they have accomplished. In their very first trip to the WCWS, the Gators went toe to toe with the most elite programs and the most elite play- ers in the game. After this weekend, one thing is for sure UF softball is on the map. Did you happen to watch any of the games dur- ing the weekend?

By BRIAN STEELE Alligator Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com UF men's golf coach Buddy Alexander called some of them "trainwrecks." That's probably an accurate description of a final round where your team shot +27. And that's why your coach was quite disap- pointed. The Gators, ranked No. 6 going into NCAAs, finished a humbling 11th Saturday at the national championships. But at least UF sans seniors Tyler Brown and Manuel Villegas gets to come back next year and try again. And at least they now know what not to do. "The kids we've got have to learn from this," Alexander said. "This team needs to be tougher mentally. I don't think anybody quit." But this year's championship round certainly will be a sour spot in their minds for a long time. "[The last round] was a disappointing day," Alexander said. "We didn't play well, with the exception of Billy [Horschel]." As he almost always does, Horschel came up with at least a decent showing. UF's two-time All-American junior finished sixth overall with a score of seven over 295. He led the day after the second round, but like all his other teammates, the final round wasn't as pretty. He still, however, shot four birdies and five par shots in the final round. And if he had been more consistent, he probably would have earned a top- five finish. Horschel never fell below 10th while at West Lafayette, Ind. "You certainly can't blame him," Alexander said of UF's lone bright spot. But you can blame some of the others, unfortu- nately for the Gators. Tyson Alexander was the team's next top fin- isher as he tied for 43rd. Alexander had a decent first and second round, shooting 75 and 74, but fell apart later on in the tournament. He had a score of 80 in the third and 78 on the final day of competition. He finished +17. Brown, one of the few seniors who had been doing well, fell apart in his last collegiate action. He didn't have a round below 76, and started out in the back of the pack with a score of 83. Brown finished in a very disappointing tie for 73rd. "We didn't play particularly well on the front nine," Alexander Golf said of the play in the final round. "It was a humbling day. I didn't do a great job of coaching." Humbling indeed. Villegas finished tied for 50th while going +20, and Will Strickler ended the tournament 63rd with a +24. UCLA won the national title, holding off sec- ond-place Stanford by just one stroke. Southern California was just one stroke behind the Cardinal. The Bruins also won the individual title as Kevin Chappell finished an impressive -2 throughout the four-round tournament. Going into next season the Gators will still have Horschel and will have gained experience too, as Alexander will be a junior and Strickler will be a senior. UF had an up-and-down fall, but was more consistent in the spring. The Gators beat FSU in a dual meet and finished tied for second at the Southeastern Conference Championships. They just scraped by at the Regional Championships, finishing tied for fourth and earning an NCAA bid. MIKE, from page 16 ESPN's John Kruk wax poetic lines about Dippin' Dots. Or maybe you caught a glimpse of the World Wide Leader's Holly Rowe practi- cally sweating to death in the Oklahoma sun. But if you were lucky, you got a chance to see what I saw. You saw UF left fielder Francesca Enea blasting home runs against Texas A&M and making one of most spectacular diving catches of the entire tour- nament. You saw Mary Ratliff dance her way into the introduction of SportsCenter after driving in the game-winning run against Virginia Tech. You probably saw Stacey Nelson pitch more innings in four days (39) than you ever thought was humanly possible. Maybe you saw Tiffany DeFelice take an at-bat against Louisiana-Lafayette long enough for me to go to the bathroom find and plug in my lap top charger and still realize that she had been at the plate for what seemed like an eternity. She fouled off 15 straight pitches, 21 in all, before finally popping out. Maybe you realized just how incredibly athletic these women are. I know I did. Before the tournament began, UF coach Tim Walton said that his team had yet to accomplish anything on a national stage, and the only way for his pro- gram to be viewed in the same light as the UCLA's and the Arizona's of the world was to make it to the WCWS. Now, there is no question that the Gators can compete with the royalty of college softball. And the scariest part is, this is only the beginning. The Gators return every member of their team except one. So, what does the future hold for UF softball? Well, it's hard to say. Is it possible that they could improve on this year's NCAA record-setting 70-5 season? It would be hard, but then again, who thought that it was possible to only lose five games in a softball season? Even Walton doubts whether or not the feat can be repeated. "I don't know if anyone,will win 70 games again," he said. What is certain is that this isn't the last you will see of Walton and his Gators. They will undoubtedly be the heavy favorite heading into next season. The only question is whether or not next year will be the year they win it all. Are you suffering from ADD/ADHD Symptoms?

This year's squad won the SEC regular-season and tourna- ment crowns before accomplish- ing their yearlong goal. Those were just some of the firsts for the Gators in 2008. Most importantly, they did all of this together. "We didn't win a national championship, but it's the first time that Florida has gone to the College World Series," Nelson said. "We've just done so many other great things this season, and it's just a team to remember. Everybody just comes together and plays, and that's what I'm going to remember." In addition to establishing the program on a national level, the Gators rewrote the university's record book with their individual and team accomplishments. The offense was vastly improved from 2007 and set record team marks in home runs, RBIs, runs, doubles, hits, on base percentage, slugging percentage and batting average. Coupled with a record- low 0.92 team ERA, the dynamic offense provided plenty of run support for Nelson and freshman Stephanie Brombacher. Five players earned Louisville Slugger NFCA All-American honors tied with the Sun Devils for the most in the nation. Nelson and junior first base- man Ali Gardiner made the first team, sophomore left fielder Francesca Enea and freshman second baseman Aja Paculba were named to the second team, and junior center fielder Kim Waleszonia earned third-team honors. Before this season, UF never had a first-team All-American and only had three previous se- lections of any kind, and that in- cludes Nelson and Waleszonia's selections from last season. Gardiner set single-season records in batting average and on base percentage while tying Waleszonia's hit record from a year ago. Enea posted new season highs in RBIs and total bases en route to tying former UF catcher Kristen Butler for the most home runs (17). At the top of the lineup, Waleszonia and Paculba both broke the runs scored record (49) by crossing home plate 62 and 61 times, respectively. Basically, if there was a record to be broken, the UF softball team broke it this season. "She looks like she's played third base her whole life. She's one of the reasons we're successful right now." Tim Walton UF softball coach on Corrie Brooks As impressive as all those sta- tistics are, the SEC Pitcher of the Year broke almost every mean- ingful single-season and career record during her more than 350 innings inside the circle. And next year every single one of those record-setting play- ers will be back to challenge for a national title, which isn't good news for the rest of the nation. The Gators will lose just senior right fielder Mary Ratliff for their encore performance. Ratliff was one of the team's leaders, and she had a knack for getting hits in big situations. She hit the game- winning home run in the SEC Tournament and also had the winning hit against the Hokies in the WCWS keeping UF's season alive. "We only have one senior leaving, but she means so much to the team and to me personally as a friend," Nelson said. - Though they lose Ratliff's clutch bat, the Gators will wel- come freshman Shaunice Harris back to the field next season after she was forced to sit out all season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Harris started three games for the Gators this season before her injury opened up a spot for Corrie Brooks. But that didn't end up being so bad after all as Brooks' defense-and recently her offense-has been a huge bonus for UF's record- breaking season. "Corrie Brooks has played phenomenal," Walton said at the WCWS. "She looks like she's played third base her whole life. She's one of the reasons we're successful right now." Junior catcher Kristina Hilberth and freshman shortstop Megan Bush, who hit 13 home runs including a go-ahead bomb against Cal in Super Regional play, round out the rest of the starters coming back for UF next season. When the Gators resume play again in 2009, a familiar SEC foe could prove to be their tough- est competition anywhere in the nation. Alabama's Charlotte Morgan joins Nelson as the only two first-team All-American pitchers returning to college soft- ball next year. The Crimson Tide are respon- sible for one of the Gators' five loses and made a WCWS appear- ance of their own, also bowing out after a semifinal matchup. Want A Great Way To Get More Involved at UF?

But for senior right fielder Mary Ratliff, there is no next year. For Ratliff, the lone senior on the team, this is the end of the line. I The girl from Mt. Sterling, Ky, was brought to tears after her team was eliminated by the Aggies for the second-consecutive season. The Gators were bounced from last year's tournament by A&M in the super regional round. Her numbers were not astro- nomical. She finished the year bat- ting .296 with 9 home runs and 48 RBIs, but her contributions to her team cannot be overlooked. Without her leadership, there is no telling what would have come of the Gators' 2008 season; She also produced on the field. Softball beat Alabama Ratliff came up with seem- ingly every big hit the Gators needed this sea- son, including a grand slam to and win UF's first Southeastern Conference tourna- ment title. Her most heroic moment likely came when she pounded an RBI double to beat Virginia Tech in the ninth inning of an elimination game in the Women's College World Series. "How many games has she won for us this year? You can count them 10. She's been so dutch," UF coach Tim Walton said. As good as she was on the field, she was even better off of it. From sending out mass text messages to the team about events to dealing with a coaching e after her freshman year (Karen Johns to Walton), she's,been through about as much as one player can in four years. Ratliff was named to the SEC Honor Roll each of her four years. Though her career is over, she is proud that she will always be a partof UF softball. She's certainly left her mark on one of the most up-and-ctming programs in the country. "The best part of it is that I can always say that when Florida re- ally started to be a really big-time program I was there," Ratliff said. UF heads in right direction for 2009 BASE, from page 16 team that battled and hopefully started a long tradition of getting into the postseason year in and year out." In many ways, Saturday's elimination game was a microcosm of the entire season, highlighting the weaknesses that O'Sullivan pointed out from the beginning. "Going into the year, we knew that our pitching depth would be a big question mark for us," he said. "We only have eight pitchers that have significant innings for us." Only nine pitchers have logged more than nine innings of work this season. Injuries only made the pitching depth, or lack thereof, more glaring. Next year's recruiting class should help that situation. Eight of the 14 signees are pitchers. The Gators will also look for Chas Spottswood, Kevin Chapman and Justin Poovey to return from injuries. But there will be other positions to fill. Infielders Brandon McArthur and Jon Townsend, designated hitters Bryson Barber and Dustin Bamberg and reliever Josh Edmondson are all graduating. Shortstop Cole Figueroa will most likely be lost to the MLB Draft, while starter Patrick Keating could also move on if he is drafted high enough. Redshirt junior Stephen Locke is still unsure if he will return. Questions remain about next season, but one thing is for certain: the UF program is headed in the right direction. O'Sullivan's first season as coach was a marked improvement over the last two years. The meager pitching staff improved from a league-worst 5.27 ERA in 2007 to 4.11 this year, good enough for fourth-best in the Southeastern Conference. And after two years of .500 play, this season's squad finished ten games above .500. But most importantly, O'Sullivan guided the team back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2005, a place they expect to be every year. McArthur expects the Gators to reach that goal often under the direction of the new coaching staff. "I kind of wish I was a freshman all over again," he said, "because I very much see a lot of respect coming for this school in the future Keating and this team going a long way. "The fans here have gotten a glimpse of what is unfortunately going to happen when I'm gone. They're really going to get this pro- gram going. Hopefully this is for many, many years to come so I can say that I was part of the first team to make it back to the postsea- son with this coaching staff." Second baseman Clayton Pisani will be back for his junior season and is excited about what lies ahead. "This program is going in the right direc- tion," he said. "I'm proud as ever to be a Gator. I'm proud to play for Coach. I'm proud to play with guys like Brandon. I'm excited to look ahead and what the future could pos- sibly be for the program." Gators struck out 49 times in WCWS PITCHER, from page 16 In 2007, there were two extra-inning games at the WCWS. UF's 1-0 loss in nine innings was the third extra-inning game the Gators played in Oklahoma City and the second that went scoreless into the ninth. "We're definitely trying to break the College World Series strikeout record, that was one of our goals coming in." Tim Walton UF softball coach The incredible strikeout totals are another testament to the high level of pitching. j / L f;I tt,, ,*,A ,, A, , UF struck out 327 times over the course of the season. Thanks, in part, to NCAA Player of the Year Angela Tincher's 19-strikeout perfor- mance one short of the WCWS record - the Gators piled up 15 percent (49) of those in World Series play. "We're definitely trying to break the College World Series strikeout record, that was one of our goals coming in," UF coach Tim Walton joked. "Unfortunately, it was for our pitchers." Look no further than the championship series to determine what wins titles. Aggies ace Megan Gibson is the Big 12 Pitcher of the Year and Sun Devils ace Katie Burkhart is the Pac-10 Pitcher of the Year.

STAFF REPORT It was d6jA vu in Tallahassee for the UF track and field teams this weekend. When all was said and done in the NCAA East Regional on Saturday, the Gators had matched their regional finishes from a year ago with the men placing and the women placing third. UF won six events on the day. In all, 14 athletes and all three relays qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Des Moines, Iowa, on June 11-14. "We had a great weekend overall," coach Mike Holloway said. . "I'm very proud of both teams. We stress being a quality team across the board, they went out and got the job done today. To win six events and compete well in a lot of other events, speaks volumes of both of these teams." The women's team finished with 82 points on the weekend, scoring 60 points on Saturday alone. It was a major improvement from the year before, when the squad tallied just 49 points in their third- place finish. Lakecia Ealey led the way for the Gators, winning the 100-meter dash just an hour after helping UF de- fend its title in the women's 4x100-meter relay. Ealey, Abigail David, Dominique McLeggan and Natalie Knight circled the oval in 43.79 seconds, their second- fastest time of the year. Mariam Kevkhishvhili also claimed the victory in the shot put, recording five of the top six throws in the competition. Lindsay Sundell also had an impressive perfor- mance, shaving nearly a second off of her season best to finish second in the women's 3,000-meter steeple- chase. But the UF men wouldn't be outdone. They scored 52 points on the final day of competition, giving them 68 points on the weekend to finish behind champion Florida State. "I'm very proud of both teams. We stress being a quality team across the board, they went out and got the job done today. To win six events and compete well in a lot of other events, speaks volumes of both of these teams." Mike Holloway UF track and field coach The Gators registered victories in the 4x400-meter relay, as well as from Wes Stockbarger in the discus and Carlos Phillips in the 800-meter run. Phillips' time of 1:46.70 ranks fourth in UF history and is the third-fastest time run by an American in 2008. The sophomore shaved over a second off of his previous personal record of 1:48.23, which he set in Friday's qualifying. Chris Rainey, Terrell Wilks, Jeremy Hall and Bernard Middleton finished fourth in the short relay with a time of 39.64, just off their season best. In the men's 100-meter final, Hall ran a 10.80 into a headwind, edging out defending NCAA champion Walter Dix of FSU to finish in second. Wilks finished fifth with a time of 10.33.
