DACA students rely on others to vote

UF Muslims have concerns for safety, policy

STUDENTS FOR BERNIE

DACA RECIPIENTS AND INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS WEIGH IN ON PRIMARIES

78 PERCENT OF MUSLIM AMERICANS APPROVED OF PRESIDENT OBAMA

By AJ Bafer Alligator Contributing Writer

Michell Hernandez and Saira Gonzalez do not exist. The two are undefined in UF’s eyes, marked down as resident aliens despite not being residents. Their status as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients has left them feeling confined, they said. Students like them are affected from the get-go, Gonzalez said. Preview is exciting for most, but hard for undocumented students who know they could be pulled aside and told something is wrong with their documentation, or that they are not eligible for financial aid. “The things that most students experience, we are very isolated in,” Hernandez said. Hernandez, a 22-year-old microbiology and cell science senior, is the co-president of immigrant rights group UF Chispas. Gonzalez, an 18-year-old anthropology sophomore, is the group’s assistant membership director. They immigrated from Mexico at 1 and 3 years old, respectively. Hernandez and Gonzalez are two of 2.2 million temporary lawful residents in the U.S., according to Pew Research. Their status permits their residence in the United States even though they are undocumented, but makes them unable to vote in the upcoming Florida primary election on March 17, further setting them apart from fellow students. Still, like many other students who won’t be able to cast a ballot, their history has them invested in the election, where they try to make their voices heard. Civic duty Hernandez and Gonzalez have lived in the United States their entire lives, first applying for DACA at 16 years old. The program allows undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children to be granted residency, renewable every two years. It is estimated that half of eligible recipients are in high school or college, according to the Hechinger Report. DACA was rescinded in 2017, and

Although black voters appeared to favor former Vice President Joe Biden on Super Tuesday, younger black voters brought a different perspective to the polls, according to The Guardian. In search for a candidate who will address problems that specifically affect the black community, many black voters including Dabo, have aligned with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders for president. Dabo said she supports Sanders because of his promise for an easier pathway to citizenship, which she hopes will benefit her Senegalese parents, who have lived in the U.S. for more than two decades. She said her mother always talks about how difficult it is for her to find work and travel because of her immigration status. “She loves to travel, and she’s kind of just stuck in the states,” Dabo said. “She can’t go anywhere because she wouldn’t be able to come back.” Dabo also believes in affordable and equal access to healthcare. She trusts that Sanders’

As a Muslim, Wafaa Ateyah said she felt most vulnerable during the 2016 presidential election. Weeks after President Donald Trump’s initial proposal of a ban on predominantely Muslim countries, Ateyah was riding on an RTS bus from campus to the Oaks Mall when someone got on, pointed at her and mouthed the words “f--you.” She stayed silent. Ateyah, a 22-year-old EgyptianAmerican UF alumna and associate research coordinator in the university’s psychology department, said this wasn’t the ﬁrst time she realized her faith had become a target. For her, these challenges as a Muslim woman have only worsened under Trump’s administration. Even pumping gas in her car while wearing a hijab has become a source of anxiety, Ateyah said. With more than one million registered Muslim voters in the U.S, the group is expected to be a deciding factor in the 2020 elections, according to a press release from The Council on American-Islamic Relations, America’s largest Muslim civil liberties organization. The organization added that they believe the election season is continuing to fuel anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant hate. They believe it was rise as Election Day approaches. Only 16 percent of Muslim Americans approve of Trump as president, according to a 2019 survey from The Institute of Policy and Understanding or ISPU. This number dropped drastically from 2016, when surveys showed that 78 percent of Muslim Americans approved of then-President Barack Obama. “Whether it’s the stares that you’re going to get, or just the verbal attacks that you’re going to get or even in your place of worship,” Ateyah said that she’s experienced

What do black UF students want from presidential candidates? Older black voters appeared to favor former Vice President Joe Biden on Super Tuesday By Samantha Chery Alligator Staff Writer

When Khadijah Dabo votes, she’s voting for three people instead of one. Dabo, the daughter of Senegalese immigrants who are unable to vote in U.S. elections, said she wasn’t necessarily raised with a “roadmap” of American politics. Rather than parties, her parents raised her on principles: to be respectful, openminded and honest. But when she goes to the polls, she has herself and her parents to think about. She said these values have helped shape her political views, which have increasing importance. “It affects them,” Dabo, a 20-year-old UF health science sophomore, said. “If they were deported, where would that put my family?” It’s personal questions that could compel Dabo to vote more liberally or conservatively. Eighty-four percent of black voters are either Democratic or lean toward the party, while about 8 percent at least somewhat identify as Republicans, according to the Pew Research Center.

First Alachua coronavirus case reported; UF starts going online IT WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED SOON By Hannah Phillips and Alex DeLuca Alligator Staff Writers

The first case of coronavirus in Alachua County has been confirmed as a 68-year-old Georgia woman, said Alachua County Department of Health administrator Paul Myers. Myers said anyone who has recently come in contact with her has been identified and quarantined. Her exposures in Alachua County are “minimal” and the risk is low. When asked if anyone at UF had been potentially exposed, Myers said he was “not going to get into those details.” In order to prepare for a potential outbreak of the virus, UF Public Affairs sent out an email Monday notifying students that UF Provost Joe Glover instructed

faculty to start moving their in-person classes online to combat the spread of the coronavirus. Though it is not currently a requirement, there is a “strong probability” that classes will be online by the end of Spring semester, according to the email. UF’s chief information ofﬁcer concluded after several evaluations that UF has the technical capacity to move fully online, said UF spokesperson Steve Orlando. A group of “senior leadership” from UF Emergency Management and the UF Student Health Care Center is meeting often to discuss the next steps, Orlando said. One of these steps may be to allow UF faculty to work exclusively from home. “The situation is changing so rapidly, you know, all options are being discussed,” Orlando said. “We have to look into the future at what could happen.” As of Tuesday night, eight more coronavirus cases were conﬁrmed in Florida, according to the Florida Department of

Health. Though Monday’s email was the ﬁrst campus-wide announcement, some professors began making the change over spring break. COVID-19 “In the interest of reducing infection among the campus community over the next weeks, I urge you to go online only,” wrote Eric Triplett, the UF microbiology and cell science department chair and professor, in an email to his colleagues Wednesday. Princeton, Columbia, Harvard and Stanford universities have all made similar moves. Florida State University has also begun to consider transitioning to online classes, according to The Tallahassee Democrat. Kalie Januszkiewicz, a 20-year-old UF microbiology sophomore, said she was disappointed to learn over spring

break that two of her classes, astrobiology and molecular genetics, were moving entirely online. Her astrobiology professor works for NASA, Januszkiewicz said, and her genetics professor is eccentric. They’re her favorite professors, and she’ll miss seeing them in person. She said she isn’t looking forward to using online classes, where the amount of reading and lecture material can quickly pile up. “It’s the microbiology department, so I guess they have to lead by example,” she said. On Tuesday, Gator Dining Services sent an email to students notifying them that its employees would wash their hands every 15 minutes, change out utensils out every 20 minutes, sanitize high-touch areas such as doors every 30 minutes and discontinue reusable cups. UF sent an announcement March 2 requesting that all students and employees returning to UF from China, South

Korea, Italy or Iran self-quarantine, or isolate themselves, for 14 days before returning to campus. Aside from 41 students and two faculty members, who were asked to self-quarantine after traveling to Italy for a study abroad program, Orlando said there is no way to know how many people have traveled to “high-risk” countries. It is almost certain that there are faculty and students who have traveled internationally that the university does not know about, he said. “Here’s the challenge we’re facing: We know who’s traveled overseas if they are on ofﬁcial university business and have registered with the International Center,” he said. “But that’s not everybody.” @haphillips96 hphillips@alligator.org @AlexLDeluca adeluca@alligator.org

Early voting sites taking extra measures in midst of coronavirus 4,700 PEOPLE HAVE VOTED By Anna Wilder Alligator Staff Writer

Coronavirus may have disrupted classes and events, but it hasn’t stopped Gainesville residents from voting early. Early voting hasn’t decreased, said TJ Pyche, the spokesperson of Alachua County’s Supervisor of Elec-

tions office. About 4,700 people have voted early this year, which is 600 more than those who voted early in 2016. The first case of coronavirus in Alachua County was confirmed Tuesday night, said Paul Myers, the county’s director for the state health department. UF is also asking staff to prepare to switch its classes online. “I don’t think we have any way of knowing if the coronavirus will affect voting, but our office is making

preparations to prepare for it if it does,” Pyche said. Pyche also said voting stations are being wiped down and cleaned under guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Pyche said there aren’t any provisions for quarantined voters, but if conditions were to get to that point, the office would reach out to the Florida Department of State and assess. Steven Noll, a UF history professor, said the 1918 flu pandemic was the last time a virus like corona-

virus affected so many. It caused 50 million deaths, compared with the more than 4,000 who have died from coronavirus. Noll said that the coronavirus could affect voting this November, but not the students. “I don’t think students are worried about it at all, they’re much less worried than old people,” Noll said. @anna_wilder awilder@alligator.org

Merger plan dies in Florida House of Representatives THE BILL PROPOSED FLORIDA POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY AND NEW COLLEGE OF FLORIDA MERGE WITH UF By Elisabell Velazquez Alligator Contributing Writer

In less than a month, proposed bill HB 7087, which would merge Florida Polytechnic University and New College of Florida with UF, died in the Florida House of Representatives Friday. The proposal was sponsored by Randy Fine, House Higher Education Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman. Originally, the bill would merge FPU with UF and NCF with Florida State University. After a few amendments, it changed to suggest the merge of both the independent colleges with UF. FPU is located in Lakeland, and NCF is in Sarasota. In a Higher Education Appropriations Subcommittee meeting Feb. 28, Fine said that making FPU and NCF independent were political decisions driven by powerful legislators at the time. “Frankly, when we do things that are driven largely by politics, they generally turn out to be mistakes,” Fine said. Fine argued the consolidation of the colleges would save money, but he did not specify the exact numbers. The faculty, students and graduates of the two in-

dependent colleges did not agree with the idea of the proposed bill. Donal O’Shea, president of NCF, said the plan was hastily conceived without proper study, discussion and public comment. “New College is one of the best-valued colleges in the country,” O’Shea said. “It has achieved many marks of greatness since becoming an independent public college, but lumping it under UF will cause it to lose its special identity and its national rankings.” Kyley Miller, an incoming NCF freshman, said the bill left too many questions unanswered.

Florida Polytechnic University, located in Lakeland, will not merge with UF.

“I wanted to go to New College because of its unique curriculum, but for it to be merged with another school, that’s not what I signed up for,” Miller said. FPU spokesperson Lydia Guzmán said the merger bill would take away from the university’s distinguished curriculum. “Each university offers something different,” Guzmán said. “Our university offers a very unique opportunity for students to immerse themselves in a curriculum that is 100 percent for STEM.” Prior to becoming independent colleges, FPU and NCF were part of the University of South Florida. Matthew Bermudez, a prospective FPU student, said he chose the university because of the STEM program and hands-on experience offered at the college. “Having a school directly based on math and science was a big deciding factor for me, but if the bill (was) passed, the advantages of why I am going to Florida Polytechnic University would no longer be advantages,” Bermudez said. The university would have worked with the governor, legislature and the rest of the State University System if the merge occurred, UF President Kent Fuchs wrote in an email. “We remain focused on UF’s primary legislative agenda to bring resources to our existing campus and existing offsite locations... that will help the University of Florida earn sustained recognition as one of our nation’s top five public universities,” Fuchs wrote.

Food trucks to serve acai bowls, chicken near Lake Alice THERE WILL BE A DIFFERENT FOOD TRUCK ONCE A WEEK By Charlene Medders Alligator Contributing Writer

The center of UF’s campus will have a new food service. UF Business Services is beginning a trial run for four food trucks to sell food on campus once a week for four weeks, said Jenn Moyer, the spokesperson for Business Services. The food trucks will be available Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the grass lot between Fifield Hall and the microbiology building near Lake Alice. There will be a different truck selling food each week starting Wednesday, Moyer said. Big Island Bowls, a food truck that sells

acai bowls, will be the first to start the trial. Selling burgers and fries, Loagies will be the next food truck available March 18, Moyer said. PDQ, a fast-food chicken restaurant, will be on campus on March 25. To finish the trial, Soup to Nuts, a food truck that sells soups and sandwiches, will be on campus on sApril 1. Staff at the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences requested business services to perform the trial, Moyer said. “People on that side of campus have been asking for food services, but it is very hard to build there,” Moyer said. “Hopefully, we can give them some better options, and they won’t have to leave their office.” Eric Triplett, professor and chair of the microbiology and cell sciences department of IFAS, requested food truck ser-

vices last Fall semester, and Business Services started working with him. Triplett said that he thinks there is a big need for food services at that location because there are five departments of IFAS in the area, and there are enough people to support a weekly food truck service. He thinks there are not enough food options for the number of people there. Triplett believes there will be a positive reaction to the food truck services starting, and it will have good results. “This is a great opportunity to get food around campus without building any more infrastructures,” Triplett said. Wilcley Lima, the associate director of Business Services, said the idea for the food truck has been going on for a couple of months. He expects a turnout of more than 100 customers. “The location chosen is an area where

there are too few people to support a permanent food service location, but there are enough people where a food truck may make sense,” Lima said. Lima said the food trucks do not have a formal relationship with UF, but they operate as subcontractors with UF’s food service provider Aramark. He said that Aramark has worked with these food trucks for several years, and they have sold food on campus before for special events like Gator Growl.

16% approve Trump MUSLIM, from pg. 1 acts of xenophobia, racism and Islamophobia that she feels have been normalized under the current administration. Ateyah said an ideal administration is a transparent one that amplifies the voices of all people and encourages a culture of care, especially when it comes to issues such as healthcare, immigration and the environment. For her, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders embodies this ideal. Sanders has won the support of U.S. Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, the first two Muslim women elected to the House, as well as EMGAGE, one of the biggest Muslim political action committees in the nation. “His political history speaks for itself,” Ateyah said. Ateyah said Sanders has continuously advocated and fought for the rights of all marginalized, oppressed and underserved people. She said it’s important to elect a president who prioritizes the needs of the people over personal gain. “Bernie is the type of leader that will make sure everyone is at the table and no one has to go through a continuous cycle of struggle to have their experiences heard and validated.” Sana Nimer, the current UF district B senator and former 2018-19 president of UF Islam On Campus, said she believes the current presidency has brought out “so much of the hatred that already existed.” There have been more than 20 anti-Muslim attacks on mosques in Florida since 2005, according to the American Civil Liberties Union. The 22-year-old UF biomedical engineering senior cited Trump’s statements, such as “I think Islam hates us,” as well as his plan for a “total and complete” shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.

She said she and Muslims across the nation are still recovering from the 2019 New Zealand mosque shooting and the 2015 execution-style murder of three Muslim college students in North Carolina. Nimer said that not only as a woman, but as a Muslim Palestinian American, she feels like she must be hyper-aware of her surroundings at all times. “It’s just that fear that no matter what you do, there’s always a threat,” Nimer said. While Nimer declined to say who she’s supporting this upcoming election, she said it’s important to her that foreign policy issues such as the ethnic cleansing of Uighur Muslims and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are addressed by potential candidates. There are only a few candidates who have a history of supporting the views they preach, she said. “We’re not asking for much,” Nimer said. “We just want to be able to just like live safely without having to worry that we’re going to be attacked at any moment.” Although a new president may not get rid of this threat that she and other Muslims face, Nimer said that it does play a role in national acceptance of acts of hatred fueled by racism, xenophobia and Islamophobia. “It’s a lot less encouraging for people to commit conflicts like that once they know that they’re not being supported by the head of state and not literally be cheered for at rallies for stuff like that,” Nimer said. People died to give us the right to vote, Nimer said. She said that anyone able to honor those who sacrificed their lives for this right should use their vote to do so. “Don’t underestimate the power of your vote,” Nimer said.

They still make voices heard CAN’T VOTE, from pg.1 about 800,000 recipients live in uncertainty as this action’s legitimacy is being decided on in the Supreme Court. Having lost her DACA status and protections in the past before she could pay the $500 it cost to renew it, Hernandez is familiar with worries of being pushed into an unfamiliar country, she said. “All I really have known is the United States,” Hernandez said. In her home town of Ruskin, Florida, Gonzalez has seen families like hers torn apart and community members held in detention centers. While her status has helped in pursuing her career goals, Gonzalez said she is limited in her options and fears the threat of deportation that looms over her family. “It’s up in the air, and it’s kind of like our lives are up in the air, too,” she said. Both said they have a deep sense of voting’s importance. Gonzalez said she sees voting as a way to express your opinion and support others politically. She understands its weight since she cannot vote herself. “It’s just an important thing to do, and I think a lot of people take it for granted,” Gonzalez said. Sai Chickakuragodu, president of UF Volunteers for International Student Affairs, said he has seen voter apathy firsthand. Growing up in Ocala, Florida, Chickakuragodu did not have the

rights of a regular citizen. The 21-year-old microbiology junior was born in India and moved to the U.S. when he was 3 years old. This is his first election since he became a U.S. citizen in January. It was not a simple process. Chickakuragodu was threatened with deportation in 2007 after a mistake from his family’s lawyers, he said. He dropped out of school and his dad lost his job. “It was kind of a chaotic period,” he said. But Chickakuragodu became politically active after this and spent 2016 and 2018 canvassing for election candidates, he said. Knocking on every door in Ocala, he was struck by the lack of interest while he was trying so hard to be able to vote. “It was just really frustrating to see voter apathy growing up,” he said. However, people in other countries care deeply about American politics, according to Annie Ratsathanuwati. The 22-year-old accounting junior from Thailand is one of more than 6,000 international students at UF, and said she has a longstanding relationship with American politics. Ratsathanuwati remembers her fifth grade teachers holding a poll on who the students thought would win the U.S. presidential election. Later while studying abroad in Germany, she recalled following the 2016 election. All of her classmates were interested in American politics, and she still is.

@SLagmis Slagmis@alligator.org

“I just feel like the U.S. can really shape the future of the world,” she said. “It’s just interesting for me to see where this is going.” As another international student, Hamza Albasit, a Pakistani 22-yearold economics and information systems senior, finds himself engrossed in the same way, he said. He has experienced politics back home, in Norway where he attended high school and in the United States, all of which differ significantly, he said. He remembers being alarmed after talking to people who didn’t vote in 2016 because they thought their ballot would be insignificant. “As Americans I thought that people would feel a civic duty to do it,” Albasit said. “It’s completely irrational to not go and put your voice in it.” Political picks Restricted from sending a ballot, these students still maintain interest. Ratsathanuwati considered making a campaign contribution to Pete Buttigieg’s campaign before he dropped out, but found out her donation would be considered “foreign intervention.” While she does not see a particular platform as extremely unsound, she is unsure if any candidate would be able to unite a split nation. But in spite of polarizing policies, Ratsathanuwati believes candidates can see eye to eye environmentally. “I really believe in climate change. I know a lot of democratic candidates believe that too,” she said. “That’s something that I think all of them have in common.”

84% of them are left-leaning BLACK VOTERS, from pg. 1 Medicare for All plan could effectively address the racial and socioeconomic disparities experienced by the black community. Through her studies as a health science student, she said she’s learned about how the quality of healthcare for people of color can be negatively affected by Eurocentric research, or research that focuses on white people, and doesn’t account for how healthcare could differently affect the black community, she said. Because people of color are disproportionately in lower socioeconomic levels, they are often unequally able to get the healthcare they need. “The healthcare system is neglecting lots of minorities and making health care access difficult,” Dabo said. Sanders has large appeal among college students because of his goal to provide free college and cancel student debt, said Michlyne Bellas, a Haitian 20-year-old. As a UF business administration junior, Bellas said she previously favored capitalism because she thought it was best for economic growth. But after learning more about socialism through social organizations, she now believes that capitalism is anti-black, citing the inability for many black people to move up socially because of a lack of generational wealth stemming from

Albasit said he is ideologically left-leaning after his time spent in Norway, seeing what he believes is the better side of socialism through policies like universal healthcare. His favorite candidate is Bernie Sanders. “He has been consistent over the years,” Albasit said. “The issues that he says are important right now he was vocal about before as well.” Chickakuragodu was leaning toward voting for Elizabeth Warren before she dropped out for her strong ability to put the pressure on big banks and CEOs, but now supports Sanders because their goals are similar, he said. UF Chispas is a nonpartisan organization seeking to expose

slavery. “We don’t have a lot of luck with ownership within our population,” she said, “and that can be perpetuated to the exclusion of black and brown people within the top one percent.” In the primaries, Bellas said she will likely vote for Sanders, a selfproclaimed democratic socialist, because she believes socialism could benefit Americans in the black community who are disenfranchised. On the other hand, Bellas’ parents plan to vote for Biden. “They are looking for someone who can promote stability, someone who can actually get stuff done,” she said. Bellas said that while her parents don’t support socialism because they associate it with an unstable government, she believes her experience as a college student has allowed her to become more educated on its benefits. Even though she already has an idea of who she’s voting for, Bellas still wants to be more informed before casting her ballot at the end of the week. To do this, she said she planned to attend a town hall hosted by UF’s Black Student Union on Wednesday, which will help educate attendees on the 2020 presidential candidates. “I don’t want to be a one-issue voter,” Bellas said. “I’m trying to be the most educated voter possible.” @SammyChery4276 schery@alligator.org

people to information on immigration, helping them decide if they want to vote for a candidate based on those facts. Hernandez and Gonzalez pursue this goal without expressing their own affiliations, they said. But Hernandez believes people should strive to know what they’re voting for because the perspectives and policies of each candidate differ drastically, she said. “Trying to understand the holistic approach of a candidate and what you’re voting for is important,” Hernandez said. “I would like people to vote on my behalf with the privilege and power that comes with the right to vote.”

MUSIC

River Phoenix: old haunts and movements THE ACTOR, MUSICIAN AND ACTIVIST LIVED IN ALACHUA COUNTY FOR FIVE YEARS By Christopher S. Cann Avenue Staff Writer

River Phoenix was 18 when his family bought a ranch house on the northern edge of Paynes Prairie in 1988, according to the Gainesville Sun. From an early age, Phoenix established himself as one of America’s brightest young talents. His breakout role as Chris Chambers in the Stephen King ﬁlm adaptation of “Stand By Me” earned him critical acclaim that was later enhanced by his Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for “Running on Empty” in 1989. Aleka’s Attic, a band founded by Phoenix, was made up of Josh Greene, drums; Tim Hankins, viola; Josh McKay, bass; and his sister, Rain, on vocals. The band played packed shows in every Gainesville venue they could, according to Alan Bushnell, owner of Hardback Cafe. Bushnell said he was a personal fan of the band and understood their popularity in the early ’90s Gainesville music scene. “I always loved the band,” he said. “It was very melodic and just very beautiful.” Bushnell recalls River’s family coming out

to the filled venues and going to many other bars and venues around downtown. “His sister Rain Phoenix was in the band and little brother Joaquin would come out to see them as well,” he said. “It was a family affair.” The band even performed at UF during a presidential campaign rally for Bill Clinton and Al Gore in October 1992. After the band’s potential deal with Island Records in the early ’90s fell through, Aleka’s Attic recorded an album’s worth of material with the intent of putting it out independently, but the material never got an official release, according to Variety. The band partially recorded the album at Mirror Image Studios, which went on to become the site of Heartwood Soundstage in Gainesville, according to Alligator archives. In December 2018, Rain announced on Instagram that Aleka’s Attic singles would be released. She fulfilled her promise in January 2019, by releasing “In the Corner Dunce.” Aleka’s Attic’s music was more than garage rock; for a young band, the music was complex. River was a spokesperson and advocate for veganism and animal rights, and he took on challenging roles. In “My Own Private Idaho,” he plays a male escort alongside Keanu Reeves. Michael Tighe, a photographer, was

fascinated by the young actor and ﬁrst met him in 1990. He ﬂew down from New York City to Gainesville to photograph River. “His family had this beautiful wild piece of land on the edge of a swamp,” he wrote in Eye of Phorographer Magazine. I was there for two days. We smoked pot, drank beer, climbed up to his treehouse, swung on a rope, bounced on his trampoline and went on an alligator hunt just to spot one and we did.” River and his family celebrated his last birthday at Kesl’s Coney Island, a vegetarian restaurant he frequented, located in the Gainesville City Center, according to the Sun-Sentinel. On Halloween 1993, River died outside of the Viper Room in West Hollywood on Sunset Boulevard from a combined drug overdose. He was 23. River was cremated and his ashes were scattered under a scrub oak tree on his family’s property in Micanopy, according to Barry C. Lawrence’s book “In Search of River Phoenix: The Truth Behind the Myth.” In 2012, the River Phoenix Center for Peacebuilding was founded by River’s mother, Heart Phoenix, and husband Jeffrey Weisberg. The goal of the alliance is to enrich the lives of individuals, families and communities through peacebuilding and

global sustainability. When his brother, Joaquin, collected his Oscar for Best Actor for his performance in “Joker,” he quoted an unreleased song River wrote titled “Halo.” “Run to the rescue with love, and peace will follow.” @chrstophercann ccann@alligator.org

TikTok trends are “Fabulous”

How TikTok, a former UF student and “Phineas and Ferb” all came together By Julia Collins Avenue Staff Writer

“Dude, we’re getting the band back together!” might sound like a corny line from a coming-of-age ﬁlm— and it probably is— but it’s also a soundbite that has been

used more than 26,300 times and counting on popular social media application TikTok. TikTok users can create videos using popular “sounds,” which can be songs, lines from shows or movies, or people’s own voices. “Dude, we’re getting the band back together!” is a line in a song called “Fabulous” from the popular Disney Channel show “Phineas and Ferb.” One of the main characters of the animated show, Phineas, was voiced by Vincent Martella, a former UF student. Martella, 27, attended UF from 2011 to 2012 in pursuit of an online business degree before “getting too busy” with Phineas and Ferb and other projects. “Sometimes I’ve thought about what it would have been like to have done the normal college experience, especially at a school as big as UF,” Martella said. “I’m glad I kept up with acting though; it’s given me some really amazing opportunities.” Martella said the song “Fabulous” was recorded around 2008 for the ﬁrst season of the show. “In regards to ‘Fabulous’ coming back on TikTok, I ﬁnd that

hilarious,” Martella said. Martella is currently working on a new Phineas and Ferb movie that’s set to be released on Disney+ this year, among other acting pursuits. The person who put the song “Fabulous” on TikTok and helped it become popular wasn’t Martella, though. It was Molly Carstens, an 18-year-old from Columbus, Nebraska. Carstens originally thought of using the sound for a TikTok about One Direction she was making. “I was just watching Phineas and Ferb on Disney+ and that episode was on,” Carstens said. “There were rumors going around about a (One Direction) reunion, so the sound ﬁt quite well.” The sound is 25 seconds long and can be found by searching “original sound - mollscar” on the TikTok sound search page. Carstens also said she didn’t expect her sound to become a trend. She currently has more than 32,000 followers on the app under the username @mollscar and makes videos mostly about One Direction and Harry Styles. Like Carstens, many people use TikTok to make creative and fun

SPOTIFY videos. Camilo Vivas, a 22-yearold UF nutritional sciences senior, and six others are the creative minds behind UF’s official TikTok page @uf. The group is led by Matthew Duffy, a 22-year-old UF telecommunication senior. The @uf TikTok account currently has more than 93,600 followers, 1.2 million likes and is verified on the app. “My favorite TikTok we have done was the one where we told people we invented Gatorade,” said Kristen Casey, a 20-year-old UF advertising junior who works for the UF TikTok. “It really blew up on TikTok more than we thought, which was really fun to follow as the views and likes went up. So many people loved the video and really didn’t know Florida invented Gatorade.” Casey and Vivas said that the process for creating a UF TikTok starts from the ground up. “An idea has to not only work for the UF brand but also appeal to the viewers on each specific platform,” Casey said. “We look at trends in the media and try and go off of that.” The video clips are then shot on their phones and edited with Adobe Premiere Pro. “After getting approved by our boss, he will upload it to the

account,” Casey said. “And we get to watch how the video is received on TikTok.” A new TikTok they are creating is using the “Fabulous” audio. “Dude we’re getting the band back together!” will soon be featured on the @uf TikTok page. The Independent Florida Alligator can be found on TikTok, under the username @ theﬂoridaalligator.

NIGHTLIFE

An emo night to remember

High Dive to host Gainesville’s irst EmoProm By Chloe Greenberg Avenue Staff Writer

Break out your darkest eyeliner and your gaudiest studded chokers. It’s prom night. High Dive is hosting Gainesville’s ﬁrst EmoProm “I’m Not Okay” Edition Saturday at 9:30 p.m. EmoProm is a young touring “emo-DJ-driven” dance party with all the classic attributes of a high school prom. Having started in December, it’s a mixture of the traditional and the counterculture, complete with slow dances, prom-style photoshoots and a special dedication to the emo alternative scene. EmoProm co-founder and resident DJ Michael Silver said EmoProm was birthed from an idea he had for an emo party. When his colleagues at Vinyl Music Hall in Pensacola gave him the OK, they found themselves with a name, logo and the ﬁrst few versions of the event planned out by the end of that same day. “EmoProm is the club night for those who hate club nights, for the couple looking to re-charge that spark, and for the lonely soul looking to not feel so alone for the night – can’t be lonely singing along with hundreds of other people right?” Silver wrote in an email. Saturday’s event is being dedicated to Silver’s “kings of emo”: My Chemical Romance. He considers the night a celebration of the band’s current reunion tour. High Dive facility and events manager Patrick Lavery said High Dive has worked with EmoProm organizers on

a variety of events in the past but has never hosted an EmoProm before. “This is a new event that they just started, and we are

happy to bring it to Gainesville for the first time on its inaugural run,” Lavery wrote in an email. While there is no enforced dress code, attendees are encouraged to go all out, sporting either alternative emo fashion, semi-formal prom attire or any combination of the two, according to EmoProm’s event page. Reflecting the event’s theme of inclusivity and uniqueness, the even will crown “prom royalty” for best dressed, rather than “king and queen.” EmoProm is for all, he said, so it made sense to ditch traditional gender associations. “After every event we have a meeting to see what we can do better, or change so that the next show is better than the one we just performed,” Silver said. Between the stage effects, acts mimicking beloved emo music videos and custom EmoProm alcoholic drinks, Gainesville’s emo and emo-loving are invited to relive a night of the past and embrace the music they love. “I’m just looking forward to seeing a group of people who love this music as much as I do,” Silver wrote. “I love to see people going all-out with their outfits, I have seen some amazing outfits since we’ve started doing this and that has been one of my favorite parts of it. I hope that I see a large crowd in front of me at High Dive as I’m DJ’ing the night away.” EmoProm tickets can be purchased via EventBrite or High Dive’s website for $8 in advance and $10 day of show. A buy three, get one free and couples prom pack special are available. Song requests can be texted to EmoProm’s request line at 213-787-4224.

BASEBALL

Florida nonexistent at the plate in its first loss of the season By Joseph Salvador Sports Writer

Emily Felts // Alligator Staff

UF pitcher Nick Pogue picked up his first loss of the season after throwing three innings. He allowed one earned run and four hits.

With a season-high 5,276 fans packed into McKethan Stadium, it was as loud as it has been all season during the ranked matchup between Florida and Florida State. The bats however, were silent. The top-ranked Gators were shut out by the No. 19 Seminoles 2-0 on Tuesday night in Gainesville to put an end to their perfect season to start the year. The in-state rivalry started off with a colossal mistake by the orange and blue. FSU junior Reese Albert was at the plate with a runner in scoring position when he blasted a fly ball to left-center field.

UF shortstop Josh Rivera, left fielder Austin Langworthy and center fielder Jud Fabian all converged on the easy out — nobody caught it. All three ran to midfield while staring straight into the sky but the ball landed between the three of them on its way to the ground. The fly ball resulted in a single and a run for freshman Tyler Martin to give the Seminoles (11-5) a quick 1-0 lead. Florida (16-1) wasn't as lucky at the plate. Third baseman Kirby McMullen looked like he hit a home run in his first at-bat of the game in the bottom of the first frame — before sophomore Robby Martin made a spectacular play and robbed it by extending over the right-field wall for the out.

“I thought I had a chance there at first, but he made a good play on it,” McMullen said. The score remained the same until the eighth inning. Before that fateful frame, both of the teams’ sluggers were thoroughly neutralized by masterful performances on the mound. UF starter Nick Pogue threw five strikeouts and allowed one run and four hits and walked one batter in his three innings. He was relieved by freshman Tyler Nesbitt, who struck out four Seminoles, allowed two hits and no walks in his three innings for UF. And in the top of the seventh frame, UF coach Kevin O’Sullivan made another personnel change when he sent

sophomore Christian Scott to the mound. Meanwhile, the Seminoles elected to stay with starter Antonio Velez all the way until the bottom of the seventh. Velez was relieved by lefty Parker Messick. Besides keeping UF off the scoreboard, Velez allowed only one hit, two walks and struck out seven at the plate. “He kept us off balance with his change-up and we didn’t make adjustments and we kept having soft contact against him,” McMullen said.

LACROSSE

Kavanagh, Harris, Bresnahan sink Navy at the ‘Diz’ By Christian Ortega Sports Writer

It started with her — and the game’s — first goal. Shannon Kavanagh cut past her defender toward the crease, and a perfectly timed free-position pass from freshman midfielder Emily Heller gave Kavanagh the space she needed to score. The midfielder controlled the next two draws, and with each moment of success, the crowd sang Kavanagh’s name in harmony. Kavanagh finished the game with four more goals and added seven draw controls along with an assist. It was one of many performances that lifted the No. 7 Gators over Navy, 17-9. And during a characteristically cloudy afternoon, with the sun’s rays struggling to escape the coverage, Kavanagh basked in the warmth of Dizney Stadium’s crowd. “Shannon is one of those players that at the beginning of the season I said, ‘That’s the person we want with the ball in her hands,” coach Amanda O’Leary said. “She’s a catalyst on the defensive end, obviously with the draw. She’s that allaround player.” The game was an example of when a team’s offense and defense converge seamlessly to create a

spectacle worth watching. With each picked up ground ball and caused turnover, the team transitioned across the 30s. Even though Florida (6-2) only caused six turnovers, its 18 draw controls and 14 ground balls were consistent with its season averages. Its .548 shot percentage was over ten points above its average. “It takes all seven [offensive players] to score a goal,” O’Leary said. “Other people have to do their jobs off-ball.” Kavanagh was the first of three Gators who scored at least five goals, with redshirt junior midfielder Brianna Harris and junior attacker Kassidy Bresnahan joining the club. The tally was Bresnahan’s career-high, and she said it was a great feeling to help her team in such a manner. Though she was elated to see Florida add another win to its resume, Harris left the stadium with a bittersweet taste in her mouth after beating her identical twin sister, Navy midfielder Kayla Harris, who is older by nine minutes. “Obviously I love my team, [they’re] all my best friends and stuff, but I do always want my sister to be successful, and I have a small, soft place in my heart for the Navy team and the Navy Academy,” Harris, an Annapolis, Maryland, native,

said. For the sisters, it was a yin-andyang performance. All of Brianna’s goals came unassisted, while two of Kayla’s three points were assists. Defensively, the Gators kept Navy (2-4) near its season average for shooting percentage. The Midshipmen’s 45 percent was three points better than the season average. UF redshirt freshman goalie Sarah Reznick did her part, finishing with eight saves and a .533 save percentage. The defense was led by freshman defender Becky Browndorf, who finished with a team-high two caused turnovers. This was Florida’s first game in which fouls were not an issue. The crowd remained calm and collected when reviewing the referees’ performances, and the 12 committed fouls are a season-low. But O’Leary and the team still have more tests ahead, including a five-game road stretch starting Saturday against Brown, and the veteran coach is aware that the team has work to do before the Gators can hit their peak. “They are 100 percent invested in really going forward with a purpose,” she said. “Ultimately for us, it’s just about one game at a time.” Alligator File Photo

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Gators hoping for redemption as they eye SEC Tournament By Evan Lepak Sports Writer

The Southeastern Conference Tournament in Nashville is set to tip-off on Wednesday — at least for now. Despite the fear of the coronavirus pandemic bearing down on the country, basketball at Bridgestone Arena will be played as scheduled. That means the Gators still have a valuable opportunity to help pad their NCAA Tournament resume. Sitting at 19-12, Florida’s record doesn’t stand out, but its metric numbers are hard to ignore. According to KenPom, UF’s overall rating is 33rd, its strength of schedule is 36th and its non-conference strength of schedule is 22nd. Combine those ﬁgures with ﬁve Quadrant 1 victories, and many bracketologists predict the Gators to be in the 8- to 10-seed range cur-

rently. A productive visit to Nashville could mean a jump to the 6- or 7-seed line, but an early exit potentially leaves Florida sweating on Selection Sunday. On Thursday afternoon, Florida will be tasked with stopping one of the league’s most explosive players one way or another. Georgia (15-16, 5-13 SEC) and Ole Miss (15-16, 6-12 SEC) will matchup on Wednesday night in the ﬁrst round with the winner earning the right to play the Gators. Rebels guard Breein Tyree (19.7 PPG) and Bulldogs forward Anthony Edwards (19.5 PPG) each have the ability to single handedly take over games. “They’re two of the best individual scorers in the country,” coach Mike White said at Tuesday’s media availability. “Both (teams) are very difﬁcult to defend, and both will be

prepared defensively against us.” UF fared well against the two teams in the regular season, earning a 3-1 record. But the win over Ole Miss was with Tyree out, and both victories over Georgia were comebacks, including the 22-point second-half deficit that was erased at the O’Connell Center on Feb. 5. If Florida were to advance to the quarterfinal round on Friday, it’d face a team it lost to in heartbreaking fashion earlier in the season. Mississippi State stormed back after being down as many as 16 to the Gators in the O’Connell Center on Jan. 28 and won 78-71 after shooting just over 60 percent in the second half. Beyond that, a rematch with Kentucky in the semifinals likely awaits. UF lost both contests to the Wildcats, with the most recent (an 18-point second-half collapse) being one of the more frustrating losses of

the season. For Florida to advance that far, its defense needs to be consistent. And that’s something White has struggled to get out of his players all year. “We’ve created average defensive habits throughout the entire

year that we saw in the second half of the Kentucky game,” White said. Read the rest online at www. alligator.org/sports @evanmplepak elepak@alligator.org

SOFTBALL

Adams, Lindaman down Penn in midweek contest By Graham Marsh Sports Writer

Defense wins championships and midweek matchups. In a low-scoring affair, Florida beat Pennsylvania 3-1 on Tuesday afternoon at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium. The victory came two days after UF swept Auburn over the weekend to move to 3-0 in the SEC. With the win, the No. 7 Gators improved to 22-4 overall on the season. Robust Return Although it was not Florida’s most explosive day at the plate, it was a much-needed conﬁdence boost for two of UF’s main batters. The ﬁrst two batters in the lineup, junior Hannah Adams and senior Kendyl Lindaman, had

a slower day at the plate on Sunday against Auburn, despite Florida scoring 11 runs. But today, the Gators relied heavily on the two upperclassmen. All the runs for Florida were off of solo-shot homers from those two. Adams had two, the ﬁrst multi-home run effort of her entire career in orange and blue. It also doubled her home runs for the year. Lindaman’s homer notched her sixth of the season. Just enough offense The offense for UF was not quite as explosive as it was over the weekend against the Tigers outside of Lindaman and Adams. Florida averaged over six hits per game against Auburn and averaged just under six hits per game on the season heading into Tuesday’s contest. However, against the Quakers (7-6),

the orange and blue scored around half of that at just three. Why? One reason was Penn’s senior pitcher, Jennifer Brann. The Houston native may not have completely dusted Florida, but she was smart in the circle all game. She was conservative in her throws to keep the Gators at bay and not let the game get away from her team. While she gave up six hits and four walks, only three of those turned into runs against the Gators, whose bats have been hot recently. Plenty of defense While Brann’s pitching was strong, Florida’s staff was better. Sophomore Elizabeth Hightower started in the circle for the orange and blue. The Quak-
