‘Shark Tank’ star speaks at UF about investing KEVIN O’LEARY SPOKE TO MORE THAN 1,700 PEOPLE

By Taylor Girtman Alligator Staff Writer

Mr. Wonderful believes in investing correctly, pitching wisely and devouring cupcakes to succeed in business.

On Monday night, Mr. Wonderful, also known as Kevin O’Leary, an entrepreneur and a star of ABC’s “Shark Tank,” spoke at the Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.

He was paid $95,000 to speak at the hourlong event hosted by the UF Accent Speakers Bureau.

Before O’Leary entered, Accent chairman Greg Wolf warned more than 1,700 audience members if they presented a business pitch that night, they forfeit their opportunity to present on the show.

The audience sighed together.

For about 50 minutes, O’Leary discussed his golden rules of investing, how to pitch an idea and how he will not give his children money after college to save them from entitlement.

“Entitlement is a disease in a family,” he said. “The dead bird never learned how to fly.”

O’Leary said “Shark Tank” has featured thousands of pitches over the course of 10 seasons.

UF lobbies for first Center Two men, woman accused for Artificial Intelligence of robbing UF’s Jennings Hall THE UNIVERSITY IS REQUESTING $7,837,400 FOR THE CENTER

By Kelly Hayes Alligator Staff Writer

UF is lobbying to receive millions of dollars to be the first Florida university to create a Center for Artificial Intelligence.

The university has lobbied the state legislature since the start of the legislative session, which resumed March 5, to receive funding for the 2019-2020 fiscal year for Center for Artificial Intelligence, said Samantha Sexton, UF’s director of government relations.

The requested funding totals to $7,837,400. About $3.8 million would go toward faculty and research equipment and $4 million for competitive interdisciplinary grants, Sexton said.

The funds were requested from the Executive Office of the Governor.

The center would not be a physical building but a feature within the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering, she said. Sexton described Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a collection of advanced technologies that allow machines to sense, comprehend, act and learn.

“AI is honestly reinventing how businesses run, how to compete, how our economy and industries thrive,”

The first thing Raegan Fink saw when she got in the shower in the Jennings Hall communal bathroom was a UF Alert that terrified her early Monday morning.

The alert read, “Armed Robbery at Jennings Hall. Avoid area or secure in place if nearby.”

She said she didn’t know what to do.

“I called my mom on the phone, and I started crying, and I was very worked up,” said Fink, a 19-year-old UF business management freshman.

She waited alone in the showers until the alert came in that said the suspects left the residence hall. She immediately ran to her room

GPD’s SWAT Grace marketplace serves its 500,000th meal team returns THE TEAM HAS 22 MEMBERS

By Katherine Wallace-Fernandez Alligator Staff Writer

The Gainesville Police SWAT team is getting back to work after being inactive for about four months.

On Sunday, the team reactivated after replacing six positions, which included a team commander, an executive officer and four team leaders, said GPD spokesperson Chief Inspector Jorge Campos. The team now has 22 members.

The team commander, which is the head position of the team, will be Lt. Michael West, who served as an operator on the SWAT team from 1997 to 2003. In 2003, he left the SWAT team to work full time in the traffic unit.

West, 35, has been a Gainesville Police officer for almost 24 years, he said.

“I jumped at the opportunity to come back and be the commander of the team, something that’s kind of near and dear to my heart,” West said.

GPD’s SWAT team was deactivated in November due to four members resigning after a shooting at a concert on Nov. 4 at the Heart of the City Hookah Lounge, at 1221 E. University Ave. The local police union sent a letter to the city manager and GPD criticizing the department for ignoring safety concerns.

GPD used the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team instead beginning Nov. 19.

Before reactivating, the team trained at least 24 hours a month since January at specialty schools that teach different functions of the SWAT team, like commanding and sniping, West said.

“We have to make it a cohesive team and that’s what we have here,” West said. @katwf98 kwallace-fernandez@alligator.org

Attendees wait in line for meals outside Cafe 131 at Grace Marketplace on Monday evening. The nonprofit assistance shelter celebrated serving its half-millionth meal on Monday.

About 200 people attended the celebration

By Lina Ruiz Alligator Staff Writer

Grace Marketplace fed Gainesville’s homeless out of a crockpot and a barbecue grill five years ago. On Monday, in its kitchen cafe, the shelter served its 500,000th meal.

About 200 people attended the nonprofit shelter’s milestone celebration dinner, at 3055 NE 28th Drive, said Grace Director Jon DeCarmine. Meatloaf was provided

by Bread of the Mighty Food Bank and the Florida Fresh Meat Company.

Grace Marketplace started in 2014 and served its first 70,000 meals without a kitchen, DeCarmine said. In November 2015, it introduced a new kitchen called Cafe 131. Before the kitchen cafe, the shelter relied on church groups to cook meals and to bring them to Grace Marketplace to be served.

“It made something as simple as sharing dinner with people basically a six- or

eight- or 12-hour process for these groups,” DeCarmine said.

In the past five years, Grace has served 12,000 people, DeCarmine said. The organization provides about 400 meals a day and has 114 beds for emergency shelter, 14 of which are reserved for veterans.

Jong Kim, a 55-year-old volunteer chef at Grace Marketplace, said he started cooking meals for the homeless three years ago.

Every Tuesday, he cooks for an hour and then does “God’s work” for another hour.

Kim said an example of “God’s work” for him is when he prayed for a man at Grace Marketplace who attempted to commit suicide. The next day, all of the man’s fears and worries were gone.

“God chose me to help all these people,” Kim said. “People are being saved through healing.”

One of the attendees, 46-year-old Charles Gillyard, became homeless in 2016 after a crash in Lake City, Florida, he said.

Gillyard was supposed to use a wheel-

chair for 18 months but started walking after three, he said. He now has six screws in his left foot and is unable to work as a result.

He said Grace Marketplace helped him find housing and a warm meal, but he is currently homeless again.

“If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be on my feet now,” Gillyard said.

While Grace continues to serve hot meals, DeCarmine said the next goal for the shelter is to expand permanent housing on its properties.

He said the shelter has moved nearly 700 people into permanent housing, which has reduced homelessness in Alachua County by 36 percent since 2014.

“All of the meals in the world don’t matter if they don’t ultimately help get a person off of the street,” DeCarmine said.

“So we measure all of our impact in terms of our success in ending homelessness for people.” @lina_ruiz48 lruiz@alligator.org

UF SG president-elect paid to The proposal was submitted Feb. 4 attend pro-Israel conference LOBBYING, from pg. 1

MORE THAN 270 STUDENT GOVERNMENT PRESIDENTS ATTENDED

By Hannah Beatty Alligator Staff Writer

UF Student Government President-Elect Michael Murphy traveled out of The Swamp to engage in international affairs this weekend.

Murphy attended the annual American Israel Public Affairs Committee conferMurphy ence Sunday through Tuesday in Washington, D.C., Murphy wrote in an email. He said the American Israel Public Affairs Committee partially covered his and his fellow student body presidents’ transportation to D.C. Murphy said he paid less than $250 out of pocket to attend.

While already in D.C., Murphy also attended the signing of President Donald Trump’s executive order Thursday to back free speech on college campuses, although he said he didn’t attend the with UF Young Americans for Freedom.

Murphy’s support of Israel comes from various trips to Israel over the years. He said he will attend the Passages trip with UF Gators for Israel this summer.

“I am a strong supporter of the state of Israel and hope to lobby our elected leaders to speak out against anti-Semitism in Congress and to recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights,” Murphy said.

The Golan Heights are an area of land on the border of Syria and Israel that has been

contested for more than 50 years, according to The Associated Press. On Monday, Trump signed a proclamation recognizing Israel’s claim to this territory.

According to the committee’s Twitter account, more than 270 student government presidents attended this year’s conference that ended Tuesday. Murphy said the conference is the largest gathering of student body presidents in the country.

“Eight of the past ten Student Body presidents attended the AIPAC policy conference,” Murphy said. “University of Florida Student Government has a strong history of supporting AIPAC and a stronger United States-Israel relationship.”

Murphy said despite differing opinions, he is firm in his support of Israel.

“If Israel put down all of their weapons tomorrow, there would be no more Israel,” Murphy said.

Rebecca Prince, the secretary for the UF chapter of Students Organize for Syria, a nonpolitical humanitarian organization, said politics may change over time, but the suffering of Syrians should be the focus.

“Even though politics may wax and wane, the crisis is at its worst. Crises are on the long-term the hardest things to reduce,” the 20-year-old UF health science junior said.

“The social implications of that are the hardest to deal with.”

Murphy’s support of Israel’s claim over the Golan Heights was probably made with the right intentions, but was ultimately misguided, Prince said.

“I don’t think he realizes what this means to the Syrian people,” Prince said.

she said. “We would serve as a national leader for the application and commercialization of artificial intelligence.”

The project proposal was submitted on Feb. 4 to the Florida House of Representatives, and UF will know where this project stands at the end of the state’s legislative session on May 3, Sexton said.

Most recently, the project went to the appropriations committee on Friday, March 15.

If the appropriate funds are received, UF can start planning and creating the Center for Artificial Intelligence next year, she said. This may include organizing a new curriculum, hiring new faculty and purchasing equipment.

“We partner with education, research, community, businesses, military, you name it, and grow this

Any good pitch, especially the successful ones on the show, must follow three rules: articulate the plan in 90 seconds or less, convince investors that you are the right team for the business and know every number about the business model.

“If you can’t do this, then I guarantee you will fail,” O’Leary said.

O’Leary scored the most profitable deal in “Shark Tank” history with two entrepreneurs and their cupcake shop: Wicked Good Cupcakes.

After the show, thousands of customers saw the cupcake business on social media posts and local news stations.

He said the business didn’t have to spend a single dollar on advertising to gain new customers. He made his $75,000 investment back in 28 days.

“What’s more of a commodity than a cupcake?” O’Leary said. “Cupcakes don’t sell for $8.

Theirs do.”

On the show, fellow investor Mark Cuban inhaled a jar of Wicked Good cupcakes, which made people think the products must be good without even trying them, O’Leary said.

After the presentation, O’Leary answered questions about his stint in Canadian politics and getting into business at a young age.

“For those of you graduating, you are getting into a fantastic market,” he said. “You are the luckiest.”

One of O’Leary’s points that stuck to Stephen Lawrence, a

industry on behalf of our local communities and the entire state of Florida,” she said.

For Collin Hamilton, a 20-year-old UF mechanical engineering junior, AI is important for students in the STEM field as technology becomes more advanced, he said.

Although Hamilton’s mechanical engineering major does not deal much with AI, he said he enjoys learning about AI outside of his classes. He even considered going into software engineering, which may have had more coursework in AI, but he wanted to be in a more hands-on field, he said.

“I decided sitting at a desk every day wasn’t for me,” he said. “The interest in AI is mainly because I see that going forward. It’s really become a focus point in STEM fields.”

20-year-old UF mechanical engineering sophomore, was to pursue a career in engineering in order to succeed.

Having someone as successful as O’Leary speak at UF will help other students become successful by following a business icon’s advice, Lawrence said.

“He’s gotta be different than the rest of us,” he said. “He gave me a lot of confidence in my future.” @taylorgirtman tgirtman@alligator.org

Michaelis was in the hallway when Garcia and Patel went into her ex-boyfriend’s dorm room and took the student’s PlayStation 4, three jackets and a gold watch, the report said.

The student called his roommate and told him that people were in the room.

When the roommate went into the room, he saw Garcia and Patel with the items, the report said. Patel lifted his shirt and said, “I got that stick on me.” The roommate told police he saw what looked like a firearm.

Multiple witnesses told police Patel had a firearm, but police did not find a gun when they arrested him, the report

Police found a hair comb with a concealed knife blade in the handle, the report said.

Michaelis and Garcia were charged with burglary of an occupied dwelling, the report said. Patel was charged with aggravated assault to commit a felony, armed burglary of a dwelling or structure and possession of a concealed weapon.

Patel and Michaelis remained in the Alachua County Jail Tuesday. Patel has a $110,000 bond, and Michaelis has a $25,000 bond. Garcia was released on a $2,000 bond Tuesday.

Pack of five dogs attack woman, dog Anti-hazing bill moves through state legislature

By Josephine Fuller Alligator Staff Writer

A woman and her dog were attacked by a pack of dogs Friday in the same neighborhood an emotional support dog was mauled.

Five dogs that were described as pit bulls owned by Reynaldo Davila escaped through a damaged fence at his home, in the 5900 block of NW 30th Terrace, in the Northwood Pines neighborhood, said Gainesville Police Department Chief Inspector Jorge Campos.

“The dogs went charging down the road and went after one woman and her dog,” he said.

The attack happened a street over from where escaped pit bulls killed a dog named Bella in September.

One of the dogs in the most recent incident went to the doorway of the woman’s house and attacked her dog, Campos said. Other neighbors also showed up to help when they heard screaming and barking.

Some neighbors trapped two of the dogs in a backyard and held them down until help arrived, he

said.

Police arrived as residents held down the dogs. One dog most likely suffocated while the resident held it down, and the other was shot by a GPD officer after it acted aggressively toward him when the neighbor couldn’t hold it any longer, Campos said.

The three living and two dead dogs were confiscated by Alachua County Animal Services, Campos said.

If Davila wants the dogs back, he will have to pay $400 per dog to register them with the county, $50 a year to renew that registration, sterilize, microchip and vaccinate all the dogs and undergo a house inspection to ensure the dogs will not be able to escape again, said Ed Williams, the director of Animal Services.

“He has the right to ask for a hearing, but we’re full speed ahead in an attempt to declare them as aggressive,” Williams said.

Williams said there has been some suggestion that Davila and Pettiford are friends, and that one of the dogs involved in the attack was given to Davila by Pettiford.

Williams said Animal Services is looking to strengthen its ordinances to prevent this from happening again.

“The responsibility is 100 percent on the owner. We have been out and investigated this owner but, at the time, all we could do was warn him,” he said. “No one would go on record saying they saw the dogs escape and acted aggressively, and without that, we can’t cite him for anything.”

Davila could not immediately be reached for comment.

Bella’s owner, Linda Swinburn, said she is still traumatized from Bella’s attack and heartbroken over Friday’s attack.

Swinburn said she will continue to work with the city and county to get new laws passed to ensure the safety of dogs and owners.

“I will make a difference, along with the support of our community and the victims and their families who (have) gone through this traumatic and vicious killing,” she said. @JoFuller24 jfuller@alligator.org

To be initiated, he had to drink an entire bottle of Wild Turkey bourbon. He did. Then, he went unconscious on the couch.

The next morning, he was dead.

Florida State University student Andrew Coffee suffocated due to hazing as a pledge of Pi Kappa Phi in November 2017.

A new bill, HB 727, is being proposed in the Florida state legislature that would give legal amnesty to the first person to call 911 in a hazing emergency. But those who knew of, planned or participated in the activity would be held accountable.

The UF chapters of Pi Kappa Phi, Alpha Epsilon Pi and Chi Phi were under investigation for hazing reports in September. The fraternities are currently under de-

ferred suspension, according to the Interfraternity Council website.

Chip LaMarca, a Republican member of the Florida Legislature representing District 93 from Broward County, proposed the bill after reading about the death of Coffee, who lived in his community, he said. The bill is waiting for approval by the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee Thursday.

UF will look at all policies and regulations related to hazing and adjust them accordingly if the bill passes, UF spokesperson Steve Orlando wrote in an email.

Erin Guby, a Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority member, said the law sounds good overall but has some issues.

“Obviously you need to help someone if they’re dying, but it’s tricky because why should the first person get amnesty but not anyone behind them?” she said.

Feminism: what it means in today’s society

W

ith only a few days left of Women’s History Month, we thought we’d discuss the topic of feminism and what it means in respect to today’s current social and political climate. Feminism is often a misconstrued word, but its most basic definition is equality for all sexes in any social, political and economic sphere. Feminism’s history is extensive and has seen multiple phases all aimed at achieving different goals; however, in most of its history, it has left out key minority groups. In today’s phase, the fourth phase, this is changing.

We could compare all four waves of feminism, but that seems inappropriate, considering pitting women against women is a major issue in the equality of women. We can acknowledge previous waves of feminism have sometimes contradicted one another, and they have certainly ignored intersectionality. But that’s where we, the fourth wave of feminists, come in. The fourth wave has no set beginning, but it is fairly well-understood it began sometime in the early 2010s. Its goal can also be contested. Generally, a fourth wave feminist is “queer, sex-positive, trans-inclusive, body-positive and digitally driven,” according to an article from Vox. It’s an all-encompassing term for supporting the equality of all women.

Feminism, especially in the past, has not been perfect. There have been many women who have been left behind in the advocation of equality. Over the past couple of years, the term “intersectional” has influenced how we view feminism today. In broad terms, intersectionality acknowledges how discrimination comes in many forms and can often overlap. This is something many women of color, queer women and other minorities experience.

Acknowledging the experiences of all women and how they have been treated is a way in which we can learn and grow. It’s how we’re able to advocate for the equality of all women, something that hasn’t always been done in the past.

We are in a new age of feminism, one that has different goals from previous waves. However, we can respect the work of feminists before us, while also growing and expanding on what they have achieved in our history. Women in the U.S. have different goals for feminism than in other parts of the world. While the #MeToo movement continues to play out, there are women across the globe who still do not have continued access to menstrual products. This wave of feminists has to understand that feminism is in shades of gray. There is no one definition, and there is no one goal.

Even now, as we explain feminism, we understand that how you interpret the word and what it means to you may be different. And it should be. As women, we need to be tolerant and understanding of others and their struggles, which will allow us to help other women in their journeys. Equality is not an easy road; it has thousands of paths with no one right way. We live in a generation of social media, where a simple like or retweet is a form of solidarity. We have more women in Congress than ever before and more women in leadership roles, in general. We have access to so many people’s stories, and it is our job as feminists to give women a platform to express their stories and for us to grow from them.

As we reflect on the end of this month and feminism, we must remember to remain kind and understanding of all women. We are lucky enough to reap the benefits of the women before us, and it’s our turn to continue their work. We have to build women up, not tear them down. Be respectful, and understand that there is still work to be done in terms of equality and that it’s our turn to fight for it, whatever that means to you.

Leonardo’s By The Slice GAINESVILLE’S ICONIC PIZZERIA

By Alyssa Feliciano Avenue Contributing Writer

Rachel Chastain-Gross wasn’t sure her date was going to show up.

After meeting online, they made arrangements to meet at Leonardo’s By The Slice, but after waiting for 15 minutes she almost gave up on him. She is glad she didn’t.

Now, almost 10 years later, ChastainGross and her date are married with two daughters. They visit the restaurant on the anniversary of their first date, which was Sept. 9, 2010, every year.

“We have two daughters now and it’s fun to take them there and think: ‘This is where we first met. Now we are here with our children,’” Chastain-Gross said.

Chastain-Gross and her husband are just one example of many who have memories at Leonardo’s By The Slice, which has been located at 1245 W. University Ave. since 1973.

Ken Peng, more commonly known as Ken Eats Gainesville on Facebook, said the first time he went to Leonardo’s By The Slice was as a UF freshman in 2004 when he walked

with his friends from Beaty Towers.

“Its visibility and convenient location make it a good spot for a lot of students to visit in between classes or for UF employees to visit on a short walk,” Peng said. “Not much has changed inside of it either, and its owners have been actively involved and committed for decades.”

Brian Johnson, an employee of 25 years and now co-owner of the restaurant, can attest to its steadfastness.

“We’ve been pretty consistent as far as we run things,” Johnson said. “What’s changed is the landscape of Gainesville. We’ve been holding true to what we do as a local business, but what’s changed is there are more corporate places.”

In August 2016, UF bought the pizzeria, leaving its future unknown. The university plans to build a new school of music where the restaurant is located. For now, Johnson and his employees are staying put.

The lease for the restaurant is through June 2020, Johnson said. He hasn’t started looking yet but said he’d like to get a smaller space.Since UF purchased the restaurant, the property taxes have tripled.

Johnson said they are looking to do a

In the meantime, Johnson said he is going to keep doing what he loves: making pizza. He enjoys producing something and getting feedback on how much customers loved the food.

“That’s the high,” Johnson said.

With Leonardo’s future in the air, Johnson said he wants people to come in and experience the restaurant while they can.

“We’ve been here since 1973, we’d love to see you come in,” Johnson said. “Who knows what’s going to happen? Come in now because you don’t know what the future is going to hold for us. If you want a slice of awesome pizza, I’d say do it now and then hopefully keep coming back.”

It’s not perfect, but ‘Captain Marvel’ still flies high We’re in the endgame now

By River Wells Alligator Staff Writer

On March 8, “Captain Marvel,” the last solo film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s third phase of movies, premiered. Marvel’s Phase Three is set to end once “Avengers: Endgame” releases on April 26.

“Captain Marvel” introduced us to a hero that may take center stage in Phase Four of the MCU, the charismatic Kree soldier Carol Danvers.

It was a good MCU movie, though it wasn’t on par with the other recent movies such as “Thor: Ragnarok,” “Spider-Man: Homecoming” and “Black Panther.”

Here are two things that shine about “Captain Marvel” and two things that could have been better.

Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury steals the show You remember that time Samuel L. Jackson phoned in a role?

Yeah, me neither.

Jackson was born to play Nick Fury — Marvel Comics’ “Ultimate” universe based Fury’s appearance off Jackson before the movies came out — and his role in “Captain Marvel” showcases the character, perhaps, better than any other MCU movie. This Fury is not the battlehardened man we first saw in “Iron Man,” but Jackson still shows his signature dry wit and charm.

The digital de-aging of Jackson for the movie was phenomenal.

Jackson looked as if he was just done shooting Pulp Fiction, and he never had an “uncanny valley” look of some de-aging processes.

The plot twist was a nice subversion of traditional Marvel tropes At the beginning of the film, we are introduced to the Skrull, an alien race that can shapeshift into any form it desires. They are immediately portrayed as the villains of the movie, and with one played by

Ben Mendelsohn, notorious for villain roles, the audience believes it.

Later we see the Skrull are actually terrorized by the Kree that adopted Carol Danvers: We see Skrull civilians hidden away with their families and fearing for their future during the climax.

It’s a fresh plot twist and gives us an insight into how Danvers was manipulated to believe she was a hero.

Now, for the bad: The first act is a drag You’re kind of thrown into “Captain Marvel” at the start, and it is hard to understand what is really happening.

We see that Carol Danvers is suffering from nightmares about a mysterious woman, but the audience has no idea why. This plot device is almost immediately interrupted by Danvers and her gang undergoing a mission to extract an undercover operative held by the Skrulls.

It all goes by very fast, and there is quite a bit that can only be un-

derstood by the most die-hard Marvel fans. The memory bit, along with the Kree’s AI leader in the Supreme Intelligence, are left largely unexplained until much later, and we are introduced to some Kree characters who are left behind almost immediately after Carol gets to Earth. The moment she lands in that Blockbuster, the movie really starts to find its stride.

Brie Larson’s performance was a bit iffy Brie Larson’s Danvers is set to be a mainstay in the upcoming phase of the MCU, and if her performance in this movie is an indication of what’s to come, it might be a rocky tenure.

Larson is at her best when she is witty and wisecracking, especially when she is playing off of Jackson’s Fury. She seems very natural when she brings out Danvers’ cocky and fun side, and she is a joy to watch when she is in her element.

In Carol’s serious moments, though, such as when she discovers the truth about her past on

Queer Poetry Jam Read about Danez Smith’s moving performance for Pride Awareness Month, pg. 10

Earth and when she confronts the Kree commander who trains her, she falls largely flat. The moments where she is supposed to find purpose in her life and do the right thing are rather uninspiring, largely because Larson fails to move the audience.

Hopefully, we will see her explore the serious and gritty aspects of Danvers’ character much better next month in “Endgame.” @riverhwells rwells@alligator.org

The Hippodrome State Theatre: A historical treasure trove THE STORY OF HOME OF GAINESVILLE’S ARTS AND CULTURE COMMUNITY

By Emma McAvoy Avenue Staff Writer

Pillared with ornate corinthian columns and a unique neoclassical style of architecture, the Hippodrome State Theatre is considered one of the most beautiful buildings in Gainesville.

The building, located at 25 SE Second Place, was not always a theater, though. For more than 100 years, it has accumulated stories that make it a historical marker of the city.

Construction began in 1909, according to Bob Robins, the production manager and lighting designer at the theater. The building was designed by the United States Department of Interior.

When it opened in 1911, it served as a post office and federal courthouse.

The U.S. Government decided to make Gainesville Federal Court District C, which was important because Gainesville was recognized as a federal entity, Robins said.

Every crevice and corner of that theater has seen pieces of history. The mechanical elevators are more than 100 years old, and the basement is marble-encased. According to Robins, the dressing room basement’s stalls were once holding cells for inmates awaiting trial.

The structure served as a courthouse until 1963.

The building was empty until the early 1970s when the Alachua County School Board took over the space briefly quickly left the building to rot.

Enter six ambitious UF alumni who were looking for fresh, cutting-edge theater and a space to create.

During a time when the building was dilapidated, the Hippodrome was founded by the six from UF in 1973, Robins said.

Courtesy to The Alligator

The building at 25 SE Second Place now houses the Hippodrome State Theatre, but began its life as a federal courthouse and post office in 1911.

The six students — Mary and Greg Hausch, Marilyn Wall, Kerry McKinney, Bruce Cornwell and Orin Wechsberg — began the Hippodrome State Theatre Company out of an abandoned 7-Eleven off of Hawthorne Road.

They were ambitious and in search of a contemporary theater that would push boundaries.

“The students called themselves a bunch of wild hippies who were collectively involved with theater,” said Lauren Caldwell, the former artistic director of the Hippodrome.

While the students moved to different locations, such as an empty warehouse on U.S.

Route 441, they searched for a home for their new company. In 1979, UF architecture professor Harry Merritt had a vision for the abandoned downtown building to be a cultural center.

According to Robins, Merritt gathered his students to collaborate with the six artists and the city to build the Hippodrome.

It was the birth of an economic boom and a redevelopment for downtown Gainesville.

“Downtown revitalization in the 1980s was centered around the Hippodrome,” Robins said. “The Hippodrome acted as a cornerstone of that redevelopment, bringing in restaurants

and bars.”

The Hippodrome became a large source of economic stability for the city.

“Back when the Hippodrome was founded, it was a good time in our country for theater,” Caldwell said. “The National Endowment for the Arts was healthy, and arts funding was in a place that allowed for a lot of growth for theaters.”

Both Caldwell and Robins agree that this theater is, and has always been, a crown jewel of culture in Gainesville.

One of the aspects of this space that makes it the artistic monument it is today is that the company continues to strive for excellence and creativity and the commitment to the search for creative collaboration, Robins said.

The Hippodrome is not only a historical monument — it is home to some of the most creative theater artists and collaborators in the Gainesville community.

Over the years, this theater has transformed into one of the most prominent regional theaters in the state of Florida.

“Staying in a town like Gainesville to work in a regional theater is very surprising, and it just proves what falling in love with a theater can do for you,” Caldwell said. “It’s changed the face of the city by providing opportunities for people to seek professional theater in a town that would normally not support such a place.”

The Hippodrome has also provided many opportunities for the community because of its co-productions with its Theatre for Young Audiences Program and the UF School of Theatre and Dance.

This crown jewel has given actors across the state and the country a space to create new theater in, as well as a space for Gainesville locals and college students to sit back, relax and escape. @emmamcavoy1 emcavoy@alligator.org

High Dive: A beacon for Gainesville music and events THE MUSIC VENUE THAT DEFINES DOWNTOWN

By Jackie De Freitas Avenue Staff Writer

Creaky wooden floors, noteworthy musical acts, performances of almost every medium and Saturday food truck rallies make up High Dive, a defining feature of downtown Gainesville.

Located on Southwest Second Avenue, the venue has gone through plenty of phases and name changes.

In the ‘80s, Spectrum Disco was the name and being a dance club for gay clientele was the game.

After that, in 1992, the venue was called the Covered Dish until 2004 when it changed to Common Grounds. Common Grounds ran its course, and the owners moved on to other things.

“They approached me to help keep the venue alive, as it is so vital to the local music scene, and they didn’t want to see it closed again,” Pat Lavery said.

Lavery, the executive promoter at High Dive, books the musical performances at the wood-clad event space.

When Common Grounds ended, High Dive began (except for the small hiccup where the place was called Double Down Live, and a Las Vegas saloon ordered a cease and desist on the grounds of its trademark infringement).

Common Grounds had largely the same setup

as High Dive but “was a little rougher around the edges,” Lavery said.

Since making the switch from Common Grounds to High Dive, considerable aesthetic changes to the venue have been made.

When it was Common Grounds, the venue catered to a larger punk rock clientele, as that was a time when bands like Against Me! and Hot Water Music and labels like No Idea and Fueled By Ramen were active in Gainesville.

High Dive has two walls of old show flyers from both the Covered Dish and Common Grounds in the hallway by the bathroom.

Past performance speaks for High Dive’s reputation: The Black Keys, Green Day, The Avett Brothers and Paramore. If a popular band stops in town, it will probably jam out at High Dive.

Not only is the venue the place to see more famous acts, but local artists find support there as well. Gainesville-based groups like The Forum, The Hails and The Savants of Soul are just some local acts to perform at High Dive in the future.

High Dive reflects Gainesville’s eclectic style not only with its choices of musical acts, but also its history of revolving style.

From dance club to punk place to indie and local music venue, whatever it has been called, High Dive is the beacon of the Gainesville music scene. @jackiedef7 jdefreitas@alligator.org

Queer Poetry Jam with Danez Smith Stadia: Google’s new

By Priya Dames Avenue Contributing Writer

Following a warm introduction from the host, there was the faint click-clack of a low-heeled boot as the performer walked to the front of the room. The audience clapped in anticipation, wondering what they should expect. Danez Smith cleared their throat, put their mouth to the microphone, and let out one of many jokes of the evening.

Smith, who goes by the singular they pronoun, is a black, queer poet from St. Paul, Minnesota. The Pride Student Union hosted them at the Queer Poetry Jam on Friday as the featured performer. The event was an open mic night at the Reitz Union in honor of Pride Awareness Month.

About 10 students of all backgrounds and levels of experience performed their pieces. Although the style of poetry differed, from spoken word pieces to satirical comments on society, the unifying element was experiences they all faced as LGBTQ+ individuals.

Smith is a prominent member in the writer’s community. They are a founding member of Dark Noise, a collective

of poets dedicated to creating space for people of color in the industry and cohost of “VS,” a poetry podcast where writers can discuss their ideas. They also received of numerous honors including the Lambda Literary Award for Gay Poetry and is a finalist for the National Book Award for Poetry. Smith is no stranger to hard work. This is evident in their writing.

Smith started off by warming the audience up: cracking a few jokes, releasing the tension, slowly taking command of the stage with their relaxed confidence. Once everyone was comfortable, they launched into just over an hour of wonderfully crafted poetry.

Poem after poem, the audience leaned forward in the seats mesmerized.

The topics ranged from the presidential administration to transgender rights to best friends. Letting out pithy truths like they were cracking a whip. Wedging pop culture references between heavy metaphors. Getting into character by splicing words with tongue pops. Garnering sighs of shared pain and crackles of laughter from the enraptured audience. Letting their voice go from a shout to barely a

whisper. Letting their melody go from singsongy to brassy, rounding out their voice, letting the words out like a marble circling the drain.

The words, although delivered with ease, were contemplative and introspective. They seemed to come from a life of observing the in-betweens.

A common thread that ran through Smith’s poems was honoring these crevices of life.

In a poem called “My President,” Smith played on the current trend of calling things we love “my president” from Rihanna’s makeup to a good plate of food. Smith recounted things in their life that were their president: “my grandma is my president and her Cabinet is her cabinet.”

After the show, I joined the swarm of people in line to buy Smith’s most recent book, “Don’t Call Us Dead: Poems.” With the same sincerity of their poetry, Smith informed me of their upcoming collection of poems about friendship — titled “Homie” and set to release in Spring 2020. When asked if they think they have grown since the first book, they answered, “I sure hope so.”

video game platform

By Alex Camargo Avenue Staff Writer

On March 19, at the Game Developers Conference, Google announced it has decided to take a crack at the video game streaming industry with its new cloud-based gaming platform, Stadia.

The platform isn’t a physical console, but a game streaming service that will be accessible online on a variety of platforms.

During an onstage demonstration, the famous search engine company showed a player playing a game on a Chromebook, then playing the same game on a phone and finally picking the game back up on a PC, all in real time.

During the conference, Phil Harrison, Google’s vice president and general manager, said the company will give de-

velopers access to its data centers, which would be located in more than 200 countries and territories.

According to Harrison, players will be able to access and play Stadia games within seconds. He showed a YouTube video of Ubisoft’s game, “Assassin’s Creed Odyssey,” which featured a “Play” button that offers players instant access to the game. No download, patch or updates required.

Stadia will be able to stream games in 60 frames per second, with HDR and 4K resolution, said Google’s vice president on Project Stream, Majd Bakar.

The idea behind Stadia is to be “instantly enjoyable, with access for everyone.” @AlexCamargo95 acamargo@alligator.org

MEN'S BASKETBALL

Keith Stone, Mike Okauru to transfer from Florida

By Alanis Thames Sports Writer

Two UF men’s basketball players have entered the NCAA transfer portal.

Following a season in which an ACL tear in January limited him to just 17 games, forward Keith Stone will transfer after being with the program for three years, as confirmed

by UF on Tuesday in a release.

Shortly after reports of Stone’s transfer, sophomore guard Mike Okauru announced via Twitter his intention to leave the program as well.

Stone, a redshirt junior, was a four-star prospect out of Zion Lutheran Christian School in Deerfield Beach, Florida, and he was a part of former Florida coach Billy Donovan’s final recruiting class in 2015.

Stone redshirted during the 2015-16 season, and his redshirt-freshman campaign saw him average 3.6 points and 2.2 rebounds in 34 appearances off the bench.

He played in every game — started in 26 — as a redshirt sophomore, averaging 8.8 points and 4.3 rebounds per contest.

Before suffering a season-ending ACL injury against Georgia on Jan. 19, he averaged 6.1 points per game and 3.9 rebounds.

Stone is set to graduate from UF in the spring, and he will be eligible to play immediately next season as a graduate transfer.

UF sticking with new batting Gators clinch series over FSU for fourth-straight season order ahead of the Wildcats

By Kyle Wood Sports Writer

By Brendan Farrell Sports Writer

The Gators softball team’s offense has been a work in progress all season, but when given a chance to experiment against one of the nation’s worst pitching staffs in Mercer, it finally saw positive results.

No. 6 Florida (27-6) scored more than five runs in a game just once this month before plating 17 runs in two games against the Bears.

The offense should have another confidence booster against Bethune-Cookman on Wednesday at home before a crucial SEC road series against Ole Miss this weekend.

Kendyl Lindaman served as the catalyst for the Gators’ offensive production last week. Her last six hits have all been home runs, including one against Minnesota, her former team, which stood as the game win-

ner, and four against Mercer. Lindaman’s offensive explosion earned her Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division I Player of the Week honors.

Coach Tim Walton shuffled the batting lineup around for the weekend series against Mercer. He moved first baseman Amanda Lorenz and Lindaman from the No. 1 and No. 2 positions to No. 3 and No. 4, respectively.

Outfielder Jade Caraway, previously tasked with flipping the lineup around at the No. 9 hole, was inserted as the leadoff hitter, where she batted at North Carolina State before transferring to Florida. Second baseman Hannah Adams was used in the No. 2 spot.

Walton likes the new-look lineup, even though it has seen limited action against a lesser opponent.

“It just feels like Amanda Lorenz and ... Kendyl Lindaman just make that middle

Florida defensive end Antonneous Clayton announced his intention to transfer from UF on Monday in a Twitter post.

The Florida baseball team capitalized on every error Florida State committed on Tuesday night.

A fielding error helped UF take the lead in the fifth inning, and a throwing error helped take it back in the seventh.

The Gators finished the game with no earned runs as a result. But the four unearned runs they scored were enough to secure a program-record 10th-straight victory over the Seminoles.

Florida defeated Florida State 4-2 at a neutral site at the Baseball Grounds in Jacksonville to clinch the season series for the fourth year in a row.

UF’s Nolan Crisp and FSU’s Jonah Scolaro kept both offenses scoreless through four innings. Scolaro allowed just one hit in that time frame, while

Football team hosts open practice on Wednesday The Gators will open the Sanders Practice Field to fans and media on Wednesday from 4:55 p.m. to 7:10 p.m. This is following Florida's Pro Day, which is also open to the fans and media starting at 9:30 a.m. at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.

Crisp held the Seminoles to none.

Jud Fabian reached base on an fielding error to lead off the top of the fifth inning, and Austin Langworthy drove him in with an RBI double down the right-field line to put the Gators ahead 1-0.

The Seminoles (17-7) took their first lead of the night in the bottom of the sixth. Matheu Nelson led off with a walk, and Mike Salvatore followed with a two-run homer to put FSU up 2-1.

But it didn’t take long for the Gators (17-10) to respond.

In the top of the seventh inning, Jacob Young came to bat with two outs, Fabian on second and Brady Smith on first. Young singled to second base, scoring Fabian, and reached second on a throwing error by Salvatore, the second baseman. Brady McConnell hit

WOMEN’S GOLF

UF’s final-day success hindered by second-round struggles

By Victor Prieto Sports Writer

Florida golfer Sierra Brooks finished the Evans Derby Experience in Auburn, Alabama, tied for 25th with a score of 5 over.

The Gators women’s golf team finished the final round of the Evans Derby Experience strong, but its second round woes haunted it to a fifth-place finish.

The Gators carded an even-par 288 as a team for the second time this tournament in Auburn, Alabama, to solidify its seventh top-five finish this season. Its second round score of 304 (16 over) left Florida in a hole it couldn’t dig itself out of, moving up just one spot in the final day of the tournament.

“Our second round was a little bit of a fluke,” coach Emily Gaser said in a release.

“We let it get away from us on Day 2 which hurt our chances to win. But we showed a lot of toughness this week, and we’ve had a tremendous amount of growth as a team in the last few weeks.”

Florida dominated the back nine with a flurry of birdies from all five lineup players which helped it hold on to fifth place. The Gators youth led the way with freshman

Clara Manzalini playing like a seasoned veteran.

She carded a 1 under for the tournament, while sophomore Elin Esborn finished tied for 12th with a 3-over finish.

Manzalini finished with a team-best third place finish after shooting a 4-under 68 in the first round. Her remaining two rounds weren’t as dominant as she carded a combined 3 over, yet the freshman continues to impress after a 4-over finish at the Gator Invitational two weeks ago.

Esborn excelled during Monday’s final round, moving up 13 spots with a 1-under 71 — a tournament-best for her. Junior Sierra Brooks also found success on Monday, jumping up 17 spots for her third-consecutive top-25 finish.

“We played well this week,” Glaser said.

“Clara was a bright spot for us this week for sure. She played very well and was poised beyond her freshman status. Really happy for her to have a solid tournament.” @victorprieto_11 vprieto@alligator.org

LACROSSE

Florida trounces Brown behind strong offensive showing

By Tyler Nettuno Sports Writer

Aggressive coverage from Brown defender Olivia Lee didn’t deter Madi Hall.

The UF lacrosse team trailed for most of the first half against the unranked Bears, and she knew the Gators needed to assert control.

She powered through the tough defense and snuck a shot past BU goalie Erin Tucker as she fell to give Florida a 7-6 lead.

That goal led to seven more in a row, and UF never relinquished the lead in a dominating 22-11 victory over Brown on Tuesday night. Florida’s scoring attack also set a new season high in scoring.

“We knew they had a really good zone,” coach Amanda O’Leary said. “We knew that ball movement and making exact passes and finishing was going to be the key.”

The Gators’ performance was anything but dominant at the start, however.

A back-and-forth first half saw the lead change four times with five ties. The Bears’ largest lead of the evening was 3-1 early in the opening frame.

Two of Brown’s first three goals came from attacker Risa Mosenthal, who led BU (4-5) in scoring with three goals in the defeat.

The Bears were in control for much of the first half, but free-position attempts gave the Gators (5-6) opportunities to stick around. Brown committed 22 fouls, and UF, in turn, converted on 6 of 12 free-position chances in the game.

“We’re really good when we play physical,” O’Leary said. “I thought Brown equaled our physicality, and it’s fun to play a team that does that.”

Florida concluded the half on a sixgoal run to take a 12-6 lead to the locker room.

That run continued into the second half. The Gators scored two straight goals to open the second period before a goal from Brown’s Claire Jeschke halted their streak.

UF still pulled away in the second half with the benefit of a running clock for most of it.

Attacker Lindsey Ronbeck, the No. 9 leading scorer in the nation entering the game, led the Gators in scoring with six goals in the victory. She also notched two

assists.

Midfielder Shannon Kavanagh scored five goals and reached 100 career points.

She’s the third-fastest Gator and sixteenth all time to do so.

In addition to her goal to start the Gators’ run, Hall scored three more goals.

Both goalkeepers had rough outings, with Tucker’s save percentage (.214) slightly behind UF goalie Haley Hicklen’s (.286).

But Florida put up 28 shots on goal compared to only 15 from Brown. Tucker allowed the most goals she has all season.

The Gators will now begin conference play in the American Athletic Conference for the first time since leaving the Big East after last season. They play Temple in Philadelphia on Saturday.

“For us, it’s just business as usual,” O’Leary said about playing in a new conference. “It’s going to be the same preparation that it would be for anything else that we’re doing.” @TylerNettuno tnettuno@alligator.org

MEN’S SWIMMING AND DIVING

Gators’ season to conclude at NCAA Championships

By Jack Braverman Sports Writer

The last time the Gators men’s swimming and diving team competed, it captured its seventh SEC Championship in as many years, a dominant effort that placed it comfortably over runner-up Missouri.

It has been over a month since that commanding performance, however, and the Gators need to recapture the spark that surged them to display such a showing.

Only time will tell how Florida will fare.

No. 6 Florida enters the pool this week at the Lee & Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center in Austin, Texas, for the 2019 NCAA Championships. A humble blend of youthfulness and veteran leadership has carried them throughout the year.

Seventeen UF swimmers were invited to compete this week at the University of Texas, a diverse contingent of old and young that could bode them well.

Senior Alex Lebed is set to make his fourth appearance at the season-ending championships in the individual medley — the most on the team. He is joined by two third-timers, five second-timers, and seven fresh faces to NCAA Championship competition.

After a successful campaign that saw the Gators finish 9-1 (their only loss coming early in Austin at the hands of then-No.3 Indiana), UF is entering the most critical week of the year in stride.

Florida has already had success in Texas this season despite its loss to Indiana. A 178-175 victory over then-No.1 Texas back in October propelled a win streak that lasted the rest of the season.

The Gators also boast a team of accomplished swimmers holding numerous accolades on the year.

Freshman Trey Freeman earned an SEC Swimmer of the Week honor, while Junior Maxime Rooney has two. SEC Freshman of the Week honors have been awarded

twice to Freeman, and once each to Kacper Stokowski and Robert Finke.

All of the accomplishments, accolades and performances leading up to this week for the Gators cease to matter once competition begins.

But it serves them well and puts them in a quality position to capture a title come Saturday. @jack_braverman jackbraverman@alligator.org

Crisp threw for career-high ive innings

BASEBALL, from pg 14 a two-RBI double in the next at-bat, scoring Smith and Young and giving the Gators a 4-2 lead which held for the remainder of the game.

Crisp threw a career-high five innings, allowing two runs on three hits and finishing with a career-high four strikeouts. He was relieved by Jordan Butler for 0.2 innings, who faced just three batters and struck out one and was then replaced by the winning pitcher, Christian Scott.

Scott threw 3.1 scoreless innings in relief, a career-high, allowing just one hit and striking out five, also a career high.

The Seminoles exhausted much of their bullpen. Five pitchers followed Scolaro, and Antonio Velez recorded the loss.

UF finished the game with 10 strikeouts, and all nine batters struck out at least once. McConnell’s go-ahead RBI was arguably the biggest at-bat of the game. He was the best hitter for the Gators, accounting for two of the team’s six hits and two of its three RBIs. No. 24 UF improves to 3-5 against ranked opponents this season with the win over No. 20 Florida State. @Kkylewood kwood@alligator.org

Florida center fielder Jud Fabian scored two runs during UF's 4-2 win over Florida State in Jacksonville on Tuesday.

Lewis, Mann join UF in 2019 BASKETBALL, from pg 14 wish him nothing but the best.”

Okauru, a Raleigh, North Carolina, native, was a three-star recruit (according to his 247Sport composite) out of the Brewster Academy.

The 6-foot-3, 184-pound guard averaged just 1.4 points and 6.6 minutes in 35 appearances this season after averaging 11.1 minutes and 3.8 points during his freshman campaign.

With forward Chase Johnson’s transfer from Florida in December, Stone and Okauru’s departures leave the Gators with three open scholarships ahead of the 2019-20 season.

Florida will have two McDonald’s AllAmericans on their roster next season in five-star forward Scottie Lewis, out of Eatontown, New Jersey, and five-star guard Tre Mann from The Villages, Florida. @alanisthames athames@alligator.org

Florida is No. 13 in NCAA in ERA SOFTBALL, from pg 14 of the lineup so much different,” Walton said. “We’ll still have to wait a little while for them to come back up, but it certainly didn’t feel the same as it's been feeling.”

The Gators will have plenty of chances to see if this new lineup works, as pitchers Alexis Bermudez and Destiny Enriquez both have ERAs over 4.00. Bethune-Cookman (12-22) has played four ranked teams this season, lost to three of them and gave up 29 runs in the process.

Florida’s pitchers will also have an enormous advantage over the Wildcats’ offense. The Gators are No. 13 in the country in ERA and will face a Bethune-Cookman lineup that is the 13th-worst in batting average (.208).

Wednesday’s game is UF’s last chance to gain confidence, as the Gators will start a grueling stretch of seven games in 10 days against Ole Miss, No. 3 Florida State and No. 13 Arkansas. @Bfarrell727 bfarrell@alligator.org
