Motion to remove judge denied UCF cited lack of intelligence, training ERIKA ESOLA Sports Editor
Breaking news on your cell
UCF’s motion to request a judge other than Circuit Judge Robert M. Evans to preside over the Ereck Plancher wrongful death case was denied Tuesday, according to Orange County Plancher Clerk of Court public case records. After Circuit Judge Evans made comments May 27 that Knights football head coach George O’Leary “doesn’t seem to be the sharpest knife in the drawer” in an open court, UCF filed a motion to have Evans disqualified from the case. UCF wrote in the motion that Evans’ comments “implies a lack of intelligence, lack of understanding and/or lack of training on one of the most critical issues in the case.” UCF was also perturbed about comments made by Evans alluding to O’Leary’s past at Notre Dame after Evans said “I don’t care if UCF is at, you know, South Bend,

E-85 fueling station reduces footprint KELSEY GOWEN Contributing Writer
UCF’s has taken another step toward its goal of becoming more environmentally-friendly. UCF will join the University of Florida as the only universities in the state to have access to an E-85 fueling station, one of only 52 throughout Florida. The new fueling station became available for the campus fleet vehicles last month and should decrease UCF’s environmental footprint by fueling the vehicles with a better gas alternative: ethanol. The 12,000gallon fueling station supplies an alternative fuel made from 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline.

Matthew Dombrowski wants to set the record straight: art is not cheap. “It’s a big misconception that art is a cheap medium, ’Oh it’s just paint’ or ‘Just pick up a pencil and draw.’ In fact, there are a lot of expensive materials that go into this,” Dombrowski said. Dombrowski, a UCF graduate, committee advisor and full-time instructor, began a vigorous campaign to spread the word about the J.R. Hopes Scholarship, going from class-to-class to tell as many students as possible. In all, five UCF art students received the scholarship for the 2011-2012
school year. The scholarship, which is open to all majors within the art Reboyro field, gives a helping hand to students who may need some financial assistance. While Dombrowski Lukas is responsible for drawing attention, the man responsible for the scholarship is art enthusiast and senior vice president of marketing for AOL-Time Warner, James R. Hopes.

Six confirmed in new SGA administration KATIE KUSTURA Editor-in-Chief
UCF students have forgotten how to speak. That’s the opinion of the recently confirmed Student Government Association director of student affairs, Michael Davis, and he wants to do something to change that. “SGA, we’re here to advocate for students,” said Davis, who was one of five executive cabinet members confirmed by senate. “However, if there’s not a student voice backing us, no one’s really going to listen.” Supporting students and giving them a voice was a common theme among the other cabinet members, which include Comptroller Josh Miller, Attorney General Reggie Paros, Director of Campus Life Chris Pombonyo and Director of Communications Amanda Newby. President Matthew McCann and Vice President Adam Brock’s pick for chief justice of the legislative branch was also confirmed June 2 and will be held by Jordan Shapiro. Paros, who took over the position of attorney general when Nicholas Gurney resigned, first realized the impact SGA can have when he served as the judicial adviser in former president Brian Peterson’s cabinet. “As a judicial adviser, a lot of my role was working with students who were going through student conduct, and a lot of times those students wouldn’t necessarily step inside the SGA office,” Paros said. “It really drove my passion for student government and what we do here.” This year, the judicial branch will continue with one of last year’s biggest initiatives, the Know Your Rights campaign. “This year we’re focusing more on student organizations and specific subject areas,” said Paros, who cited tailgating as an example. Tailgating is just one of the things that Pombonyo

US appeals court hears health care arguments GREG BLUESTEIN Associated Press
ATLANTA — The latest round in the fight over President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul was held Wednesday in the federal appeals court in Atlanta. A three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments on whether to reverse a Florida judge’s ruling that struck down the law. The judges seemed receptive to arguments from critics challenging the health reforms as unconstitutional during the three-hour hearing. Some 26 states opposing the law and an alliance of small businesses argue that Congress didn’t have the power to require virtually all Americans to maintain health insurance. The Justice Department says the legislative branch exercised its “quintessential” right. A three-judge federal appeals court panel in Cincinnati heard arguments last week about whether the law’s mandate to buy health insurance went beyond congressional authority, and a federal appeals court based in Richmond, Va. heard oral arguments May 10 in another legal challenge to the law. Lawyers on both sides have said the cases ultimately will be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. But the appeal court panel’s decision in Atlanta is being closely watched and could help shape the debate. There’s considerable legal firepower on both
sides of the argument. Former U.S. Solicitor Paul Clement represents the challenging states and current U.S. Solicitor Neal Katyal will speak for the government. It unfolded in what’s considered one of the nation’s most conservative appeals courts. But the randomly selected panel includes two appointees of Democratic President Bill Clinton, and observers say it’s hard to predict how they’ll decide. The Clinton appointees are circuit Judges Frank Hull and Stanley Marcus, while Chief Judge Joel Dubina was tapped by President George H.W. Bush. Two similar lawsuits are pending in Virginia. Three federal judges, all Democratic appointees, have upheld the law. Two federal judges, both Republican appointees, have invalidated it. At issue Wednesday is a ruling by U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson, a Republican-appointed judge in Florida. It not only struck down a requirement that nearly all Americans carry health insurance, but it threw out other provisions ranging from Medicare discounts for some seniors to a change that allows adult children up to age 26 to remain on their parents’ coverage. A crush of people gathered outside the 11th Circuit nearly three hours before the arguments were held to guarantee a spot, and the court opened an adjoining courtroom for the spillover crowd. The

courtroom was packed with high-profile attorneys and politicians, including Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens, who sat in the front row. The court also decided
to temporarily suspend some of its own rules to sell $26 audiotapes of the arguments to those who want recordings of the court sessions. Outside the federal
courthouse in Atlanta, about 75 people gathered on the sidewalk carrying signs ranging from “Hands off my health care” to “No taxpayer funded abortion” and
“Throw the socialist out of the White House.” No chanting was permitted. One woman who repeated “No more Tea Party” was escorted away by a courthouse security officer.
Plancher UCF assembles fleet of ethanol-run vehicles case starts Monday FROM A1
FROM A1 you know, playing Notre Dame. The trial’s going on and, you know, if the coach is called on that Friday, he’s by God going to be here for that trial.” O’Leary resigned from Notre Dame in 2001 after lying about academics on his résumé. With Evans still presiding over the Plancher case, the case is scheduled to start Monday, beginning with selection of the jury.
of greenhouse gas production, according to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuel Price Report. However, vehicles must be specially made in order to run on any alternative fuel, which adds extra costs to the switch from gas-fueled vehicles to E85 as a main fuel source. UCF’s 45 flex-fuel fleet vehicles are specially designed to be able to run on E-85, as well as any other ratio of ethanol to gasoline. David Norvell, UCF’s director of sustainability and energy management, said that the construction of the E-85 station will represent a part of UCF’s
transition toward becoming greener, as outlined in the university’s Climate Action Plan. The five-step plan aims to become climate-neutral by having no net loss of energy, by the year 2050. This date “will be flexible depending on the state budget,” Norvell said. Climate neutrality would also make UCF self-sufficient, energy-wise. Norvell also said that energy conservation in Florida might be a more expensive investment because the state lacks mountains for windmills, which is one of the cheapest ways to recycle energy. Overall, the expenses of investing in alternative fuel are
not as important as saving energy to supporters of UCF’s green initiatives. Senior business major Katie Ziegler says she supports the efforts UCF is taking toward becoming climate neutral, while acknowledging that the price of investing in alternative fuels is costly. “E-85 might be the future of alternative fuel,” Ziegler said. Krishna Singh, director of UCF Parking and Transportation Services, says the fleet vehicle the department uses will run on E-85, and that the carts they use are all electric. In the future, he says the department plans on continuing to use fleet vehicles built to run on alternative fuel or electricity, instead of just gasoline.
Other efforts that UCF’s energy department plans on making toward climate neutrality will include building more solar panels around campus, as well as the construction of a new power plant on campus, which will save millions of dollars per year on energy costs for UCF. The plant is set to begin powering a portion of the campus in October, according to Norvell. Whether the E-85 station will be open to the public in the future is still being discussed, but is a possibility. This would allow others to fuel their vehicles with E-85 as long as the vehicle is built to run on the fuel.

Fans rave about the fleece undergarments FROM A1 It was Brodie’s father, Bob, who first began to notice the widespread problem in the radiology departments of several hospitals during his 30year career. Many of his employees who are in desperate search for warmth, resort to layering their uniform with undershirts and jackets. “It’s technically a violation of policy, and honestly it’s just unprofessionallooking,” Bob Perez said. Since hospitals are required to be kept at lower temperatures for sanitary reasons, medical professionals were left with no other alternative. But after doing some research, the Perez family realized they had the answer. “So we decided to take the leap,” Brodie said. During trial and error experimentation, the Perez family had tried a variety of fabrics, including cotton. But cotton couldn’t provide the warmth that Thermscrub needed.
Then they found polyester fleece, a material popular in cold climates among outdoor enthusiasts. Polyester fleece provides not only warmth, but also the flexibility and easy movement needed in the fast-paced working environment of the health care industry. After the Perez family had created a prototype, they located a company in China willing to manufacture Thermscrub, but soon discovered they would have to play a three-month waiting game for it to arrive. Unknowingly, they had sent their manufacture order during the Chinese New Year. Brodie was told that because of the celebrations, all manufacturing companies would be shut down for the next two months; it would then take about another month for shipment. In the meantime, Brodie began preparing the company’s website and social media profiles, via sites like Twitter and Facebook, for the launch of his first
entrepreneurial pursuit. Although he describes Brodie as a one-man show, Bob also has the help of his wife, Carrie Perez, who handles the company’s financing. “It’s true when they say behind every great man is a great woman,” Bob Perez said. Thirty-nine months of experimentation and anxious waiting culminated in Nov. 2010., when the Perez family held Thermscrub in their hands. Brodie marketed Thermscrub at health care industry conferences in Las Vegas and Philadelphia, giving consumers the chance to try the product on. “People are definitely surprised when they see our product, and happy that someone has finally come up with a solution,” Brodie said. “It’s been a need that they’ve always had a void for.” Since Thermscrub’s introduction, they’ve had more than 500 Facebook users join the product’s group. Many health care

industry workers have posted their reactions on the group’s page. “Finally I won’t freeze all day long anymore!,” a Facebook fan of Thermscrub wrote. Some are even interested in purchasing for others.
“This is also great for people like me that are always hot and fighting my co-workers over the thermostat. I already have a mental list of who I wish I could buy them for,” a nurse in Nevada wrote. Although Thermscrub
is still a new product, Brodie has plans to introduce more colors, styles and eventually own a full clothing line. “Right now we’re a small business, but we’re looking for a big future,” he said.
Pixar hopefuls draw on childhood, win scholarships FROM A1 According to Dombrowski, Hopes originally wanted to go to school to be an artist, but instead went into the business world. “He always wondered if money wasn’t an issue or if he had the time to produce his art could this really happen and could he help other people who are maybe on that fence; like if their financial situation is pressing, or they are a talented artist and just need that extra push or helping hand,” Dombrowski said. Like most scholarships, the students had to meet certain requirements. Students had to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, be a fulltime undergraduate student in art, digital media or photography, and maintain a 3.0 overall GPA. Each submission was judged based on the artist’s financial need, focus and talent. This year alone, 110 students applied for the scholarship; a 46 percent increase from last year’s 75 applicants. Dombrowski also saw an increase in digital and animation submissions. Daniel Lukas, a junior emerging media major, was one of the five students that received the scholarship for his work with 3-D animation. “I’ve been drawing ever since I could remember,” Lukas said. Drawing influences from comic book and video game characters, Lukas loves to create things that aren’t real.
“I was able to create things that weren’t possible, like someone flying or having super powers,” Lukas said. To keep with the theme, Lukas submitted a digital painting of a futuristic battle between soldiers. Using Adobe Photoshop and a drawing tablet, Lukas sketched out his idea and began to build upon layers by adding shading and colors. Programs like Photoshop can take a toll on a college student’s bank account. Lukas appreciates the funds the scholar-
ship has provided him to buy the tools he needs to work. Lukas is busy working on his portfolio and is hoping to land his dream job with Pixar Animation Studios, or even Industrial Light & Magic, a branch of Lucasfilm Ltd. — the production company owned by Star Wars creator, George Lucas. Another Pixar hopeful, Michael Ryan Reboyro, a sophomore animation major, received his scholarship for his work in 2-D animation. Like Lukas, Reboyro also started

drawing at a young age and found inspiration through Walt Disney classics like Pinocchio and Fantasia. “In all of these films there is an intense passion for what they were trying to achieve. They weren’t just making good-looking films, and they weren’t just making children’s films; they were making films that broke the barrier,” Reboyro said. That kind of passion for traditional animation helped score Reboyro his scholarship and the respect of Hopes, himself. Once Hopes
found out that Reboyro had hand-drawn each frame for his animated film, he understood Reboyro’s passion for animation. Reboyro submitted a 2-D animated piece based on the theory that all art is endangered, an idea he first heard about in his art history class freshmen year. “That theory always stuck with me because of the meaning and significance of it; so I thought I could use that for the piece I was submitting," Reboyro said. Reboyro used the schol-
arship money to cover the cost of his books and supplies. Reboyro is looking forward to a possible career in traditional animation, but is not factoring out working in CGI as well. “I have no problem working with CGI, but traditional 2-D animation is my passion,” Reboyro said. The three other scholarship winners were Nicole Gayton in the sculpture category, Natasha Kinsley for painting and sculpture and Kwok Yin Mak for digital media.

PRYOR LEAVING OHIO STATE COLUMBUS, Ohio — Terrelle Pryor’s career at Ohio State, which started with so much promise, came to an abrupt and scandal-ridden end Tuesday. Pryor announced that he would not play for the Buckeyes this season. He had been suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season for breaking N.C.A.A. rules by accepting improper benefits from the owner of a tattoo parlor. “In the best interests of my teammates, I’ve made the decision to forgo my senior year of football at the Ohio State University,” Pryor said in a statement issued by his lawyer, Larry James, who added that Pryor was not available for comment. The Cleveland Plain Dealer first reported Pryor’s announcement. The N.C.A.A. is looking into all aspects of Ohio State’s program, including cash and tattoos to players, cars deals for athletes and other potential violations. Pryor’s announcement came eight days after Coach Jim Tressel was forced to resign for knowing about the players’ improper benefits but not telling his superiors. “He did not want to be a distraction to his teammates,” James said of Pryor. “This is something he came to consider after much thought.” Ohio State will go before the N.C.A.A.’s committee on infractions Aug. 12. Pryor is no longer a college football player, so he is no longer obligated to meet with the N.C.A.A. James would not comment on whether Pryor would continue to cooperate with the investigation. Ohio State’s athletic director, Gene Smith, said: “We understand Terrelle’s decision and wish him well in this next phase of his life.” The 6-foot-6, 233-pound Pryor came to Ohio State on March 19, 2008, from Jeannette, Pa., as the most acclaimed high school quarterback prospect in the country. His career will be remembered in his adoptive home state for his three victories in three matchups against the archrival Michigan, and victories in the Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl. He had a 31-4 record as a starter; rushed for 2,164 yards, a record for an Ohio State quarterback; and passed for 6,177 yards. But it will also be remembered for a series of missteps and controversies that seemed to follow him. Amid an N.C.A.A. inquiry into his cars, Pryor drove a sports car to practice on the day Tressel resigned. Even when it was shown that his mother had legally bought the car, which is four years old, many fans were angry. In 2009, he wore “Vick”on an eyeblack patch in honor of Michael Vick, after Vick had been involved in a dogfighting operation. Pryor then infuriated many by saying: “I mean, everyone kills people, murders people, steals from you, steals from me, whatever. I think that people need a second chance.” Pryor will probably make himself available for an N.F.L. supplemental draft if one is held, James said. Few draft experts consider Pryor a readyfor-the-N.F.L. quarterback. With his speed and size, he could be better cut out as a big wide receiver. For now, Pryor will take things easy, James said. “You know how sometimes you have the weight of the world on your shoulders and then something like this takes a little bit off,” James added. “He’s still only 21.”

Beau Taylor will be leaving UCF for the pros after a stellar three-year career.
Taylor picked in fifth round by A’s, leaving UCF JESSICA GILLESPIE Baseball beat writer
When his name was called in the fifth round in the MLB Draft on Tuesday, catcher Beau Taylor was speechless. The UCF junior, who had not been previously drafted, was selected No. 166 overall by the Oakland Athletics. “It means everything to me,” Taylor said. “My dad helping me my whole entire life, all my coaches, Coach Godwin especially, all my hard work that I’ve worked towards, the game that I love the most. It came to me pretty soon so I’m pretty happy about it.” Taylor was the highest UCF MLB draft pick since 2005 when the Chicago Cubs drafted Mike Billek in the third round, and the New York Mets picked fellow catcher Drew Butera in the fifth round. “I’ve been talking to scouts and they’ve been saying I’d be going in the top 10 rounds, and I didn’t know about the fifth round,” Taylor said. “The A’s didn’t even call me before, I hadn’t even talked to them. I saw my name go across the screen and I was like, ‘Oh my god.’ Then they called me after.” Taylor earned the starting catcher role as a freshman, and he became the first UCF catcher to be named a Louisville Slugger/Collegiate Baseball Freshman All-American. Since then, Taylor has tied the school hitting streak record by hitting safely in 26 consecutive games. This season, he committed just one error in the field. His career batting average is .337 with 16 homers and his career fielding percentage is .990. The junior will be leaving UCF to chase his dreams and go pro. “I wanted to stay here, but this is the chance I’ve been waiting for since I’ve been playing, so I’ve got to take it,” Taylor said.

He was drafted as a pitcher out of Lakewood Ranch High School in the 41st round in 2007 by the Minnesota Twins. A year into his career at the State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota, he was selected in the 45th round by the Boston Red Sox. On Tuesday, the UCF first baseman was drafted for the third and final time by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 21st round. “Obviously it’s an honor to get the opportunity to play professional baseball, and it’s always been my goal since I was a young, young kid, and it came true,” Griffin said. Griffin was one of four Knights to be drafted on the second day of the MLB draft, and he was one of seven Knights to be drafted. The senior joins Beau Taylor (fifth round), Danny Winkler (20th round), Chris Matulis (29th round), Ronnie Richardson (31st round), Chase Bradford (35th round) and Derek Luciano (44th round). Even though Griffin had been drafted before, it didn’t stop the nerves. “I was nervous at first, just sitting there, waiting and waiting,” said Griffin, who was watching the Draft Tracker on MLB.com with his friends and roommates. “Then I got a text message [from the Diamondbacks] asking if I wanted to play and I said, ‘Yes,’ and then two picks later, they ended up picking me. It felt really good.” Griffin has known the scout who drafted him since he was a high school

NCAA outdoor championships next hurdle ERIKA ESOLA Sports Editor
The No. 24 Knights outdoor track & field team is continuing their quest to be the nation’s best at the NCAA outdoor championships in Des Moines, Iowa, this week. The nationals kicked off Wednesday and will continue until Saturday. The Conference USA champions will compete in five different events in Des Moines — semifinals of the 4x100-meter relay, 100-meter dash, 200meter dash, 100-meter hurdles and the 4x400meter relay. The finals for the 100-meter dash are Friday, while the finals for all other events will be held Saturday. Dominique Booker, Aurieyall Scott, Sheila Paul and Lynne Layne will compete in the 4x100-meter relay Wednesday. Booker, Scott and Paul will also compete in the 100-meter dash. Scott, who is also competing in the 200, will be the only Knight competing in two individual events, as well as one relay event. UCF’s first outdoor All-American, Jackie Coward, will look to continue to dominate the

prospect, and they’ve kept in touch ever since. The power-hitter feels that the change in bats likely helped his case since his home run count went up with the new wood-composite bats, separating his raw power from the rest of the playing field. As a graduating senior, Griffin will head to the pros. “Right now, I’m excited to get out there and start my professional career,” Griffin said. Winkler, who hasn’t said whether or not he will return to UCF, was drafted to the Colorado Rockies in the 20th round. “I don’t have many words to explain how excited I was to get that phone call from Colorado,” Winkler said in a release. “It’s a tremendous honor, and it has been a memorable day.” Winkler improved his draft stock as he was drafted in 2010 by the Chicago Cubs in the 43rd round. The junior-transfer earned the opening day starting role and moved in and out of the weekend rotation throughout the season. He struck out 92 batters this season, the most a UCF pitcher has thrown in a single season since 2005.

dinals. “I looked at the computer, saw my name, and it was pretty exciting and weird all at the same time,” Matulis said. Matulis, an LSU transfer, did not play this season due to NCAA transfer rules but plans to stay at UCF and help bring the Knights to the College World Series in 2012.
Cubs draft Richardson Richardson, who was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the 11th round of the 2009 draft, was selected in the 31st round by the Chicago Cubs. Though only a sophomore, Richardson’s birthday falls within the draft guidelines to make him eligible. Richardson was surprised about when he was drafted because he thought he would be selected earlier. He said he fell because of signability issues.
Right now, Richardson doesn’t know where he’ll be at the end of the summer “I have no idea but right now it looks like I’ll be back [at UCF] because I’m going up to the Cape sometime next week,” said Richardson, who will play in the prestigious Cape Cod League this summer. “Unless the Cubs come up with a crazy offer that I can’t turn down or something, but being in the 31st round, I don’t think that’s going to happen so I’m most likely going to come back to school.” He started all 62 games in center field this season and held a .312 batting average and a team-high 59 runs.
Mets select Bradford The New York Mets drafted Bradford in the 35th round, opening up the door to the senior’s lifelong dream of playing pro-
fessional baseball. “I was actually in my room, cleaning my room out, and my roommate, Jonathan Griffin, says, ‘Um, Chasen Bradford’s just been drafted by the Mets,’ and that’s how I heard,” Bradford said. The right-hander earned his first start at UCF this season and quickly worked his way into the weekend rotation. He owns a team-best 6-2 record.
Luciano joins Griffin Luciano, UCF’s senior third baseman, was drafted for the first time when he was selected by the Diamondbacks in the 44th round. He and fellow Arizona-draftee Griffin, are destined to be teammates forever. They were teammates at the State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota for two years before they both transferred to UCF.

“Uncommon Pizza, Pasta, Salad and Sandwiches” is the slogan for Mad Hatters restaurant and pizzeria, one of “Oviedo’s best-kept secrets” according to long-time Orlando resident and patron Roger Serrano. Recommended to Mad Hatters by a friend a couple years ago, Serrano hasn’t found another pizza place like it. A self-proclaimed meat-lover, he routinely orders the Mad Top Hat, a pie covered with pepperoni, sausage, peppers, mushrooms, onions, black olives, ham and bacon. “They don’t skimp out on their toppings,” Serrano said. “And that’s what makes the pizza great.” The family-owned restaurant differs from the average pizzeria in many ways; from the homey atmosphere to the endless variety of distinct toppings, including grilled chicken, feta and ricotta cheeses, fresh basil and artichoke hearts. Prices range from $10$15 per person, a little pricier than the usual pizza chains, but well worth it according to Miguel Delaflor, a junior health services administration major. “Mad Hatters has extremely good quality pizza and pricing to go along with it,” Delaflor said. Delaflor said he prefers any pizza with a Hawaiian flair, opting for the “Italian Luau” on his first visit, which boasts a wealth of Romano, mozzarella and
provolone cheeses, fresh pineapple, black forest ham and red onions. Despite the distance from his apartment, Delaflor said he plans on ordering exclusively from Mad Hatters because he is tired of the generic pizza from other franchises. “Pizza lovers drive from Orlando and Sanford because it’s the best pizza in Orlando,” said Vjollca Cekani, co-owner of Mad Hatters with her husband, Risto. “Everybody says the crust is different; it’s fresher and crispier.” She said the most popular pizzas are the “Greek Hatter”, “Mad Top Hat”, “California Rabbit” and “Steak & Onions.” The business originally began in 1967 and was later

ONE MORE THOUGHT
We all have those noisy neighbors It happened again. Around 3 a.m. on a weeknight, I was woken up by the sound of exuberant yelling and stomping. The sounds were emanating from the apartment above mine and seemed to be the result of a great Madden victory. Unfortunately, I had to be up early the next morning and was severely sleepdeprived the following day. I suppose I should probably be used to it by now. Rude neighbors in a college apartment complex are to be expected. But when does excessive noise become too much to handle? Between obnoxious music late at night and loud drivers early in the morning, it can be difficult for a student to attain those precious seven to eight hours of sleep they so desperately need. Sleep is an absolute necessity for every busy student. Jobs, morning classes and late nights at the library can be grueling. Without a normal night’s sleep, performance in these areas may begin to deteriorate. Do the unwritten rules of common courtesy and respect not apply to us because we are in college? Many seem to feel that way. Some people go their whole childhood without ever being told “no.” They feel that college should be the best time of their lives and no one is going to stand in the way of their fun. I’m not advocating abolishing fun. I, like anyone else, enjoy going out to bars and clubs to have a good time. I have often been loud inside of my own apartment, but any noise that came from my friends and me happened during weekend hours. The weekend is fair game. Often the end of the week comes as quite
purchased by the Cekani’s in 2007. Vjollca said when she and Risto bought the tiny space, they tried to keep a lot of the same menu items since it had been a part of the community for so many years. They recently added some healthier options to the menu, like the turkey fruit salad. Also offered at Mad Hatters are fresh salads, appetizers, oven-roasted wings, wraps, subs and sandwiches, calzones and stromboli, an array of pasta dishes and Italian desserts. This is in addition to their endless pizza and specialty pizza options available cooked to order or for delivery. Mad Hatters is located in the heart of downtown Oviedo, on the corner of Central Avenue/S.R. 434 and Broadway Street/ S.R.426, approximately 15 minutes from UCF’s Orlando campus. It currently delivers to the UCF campus and the surrounding area with a minimum $15 order.

a relief for busy students. It is a time of relaxation and fun; and yes, plenty of partying. I find nothing objectionable to any of these activities, just not at three in the morning. But what is a busy student to do about late night noise during the week? Sadly, there isn’t a lot one can do that will provide any real results. Often, calling the apartment complex and having them send someone over will just make the situation all the more tense for you and your neighbors in the future. You can always knock on their door and ask them to quiet down, but that method is uncomfortable and rarely offers any sort of change. We live in a hectic, noise-filled world. We drive on noisy streets to patronize loud bars and clubs with boisterous people. Even when we are alone, sound is inevitable: iPods, laptops, televisions and video games dominate our time. Noise and more noise. I often find myself yearning for serenity and quiet that is all too difficult to find. With schedules full of jobs, classes and internships, it can be a challenge to find a moment’s peace. But such is life for a college student. As I finish writing this column I can faintly hear the start of the first quarter. Elated cheers begin to erupt after a big touchdown. Oh well, I usually sleep through class anyway.

OUR STANCE
Make student justice fair T
he United States secretary of education’s assistant secretary for civil rights, Russlynn H. Ali, has issued a new directive on sexual violence to college officials all across the country, according to an article in The Chronicle of Higher Education. The directive lowers the standard that college disciplinary committees have to use when determining the guilt of an individual. Ali is in the wrong for issuing this directive, because its application has the potential of providing unfair justice toward students, and men in particular. Ali bases her action on the Title IX equity statute, which Ali says guarantees students a right to an education that does not discriminate on the basis of sex. She claims that sexual assault and harassment violate this right, and colleges that don’t pursue offenders aggressively can be found in violation of this statute and lose federal dollars. According to the Chronicle, many colleges employ what is known as a “beyond a reasonable doubt” or “clear and convincing” standard. The Chronicle estimates that “reasonable doubt” requires a 98 percent certainty of guilt, and that “clear and convincing” requires 80 percent certainty. Ali wants to relax
that standard, to “preponderance of the evidence,” under which a person can be found guilty of a crime if members of a disciplinary committee believe there is slightly more than a 50/50 chance that the person committed the crime. Where this comes into play for men is if they are brought before disciplinary committees in cases of rape or sexual assault. With this new standard, it is much easier to convict someone of a crime without definitively proving their guilt. This could lead to many innocent students with good grades and otherwise solid reputations being branded with a scarlet letter. Being charged with a crime like rape is no small matter. The standard for proving guilt in this instance and other crimes should remain a high one. Even if a person is ultimately found innocent, the charge can leave a stain on a person’s reputation and affect their future careers. One clear example provided by the Chronicle is the case of the three Duke University lacrosse players who were falsely accused of gang rape. Despite abundant evidence of their innocence, no one — not the police, the prosecutor or Duke’s president — seemed to care. The article goes on to say that
student vigilantes put up “Wanted” posters across the campus that displayed photos of the players. After spending many months under a cloud of suspicion, the charges were eventually dropped against these men. Under Ali’s proposed system, these students could have been found guilty early on with significantly less evidence than what would normally be presented. Ali claims that her reason for taking this new step is that the number of rape cases on campuses has increased, and she cites a study that finds 19 percent, or almost one in five women, will be a victim of assault, or attempted assault, during their years at college. The Chronicle notes that these types of studies are hard to conduct and can be inconsistent. The Justice Department stamped a disclaimer on every page of the study, saying the study is not a publication of theirs and does not necessarily reflect their views. In America, we believe that someone is innocent until proven guilty. In courtrooms, we require guilt to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. That standard should remain and apply to all college disciplinary committees in the U.S. Ali should rescind her directive.
