Mullen, Gators talk high expectations at SEC Media Days “I THINK WE’VE MADE BIGGER GAINS IN A LOT OF WAYS THIS OFFSEASON THAN WE DID LAST YEAR.” - DAN MULLEN

By Evan Lepak Sports Writer

The Associated Press

Quarterback Feleipe Franks (pictured), running back Lamical Perine and defensive end Jabari Zuniga were the three UF athletes to appear at the SEC Media Days in Hoover, Alabama, on Monday alongside coach Dan Mullen.

UF coach Dan Mullen set expectations high for his 2019 squad.

“I don’t know if there’s anybody out there that has higher expectations for the team as a program than I do,” Mullen said. “Instead of shying away from them, embrace those expectations, and try to live up to them and surpass the expectations out there for us as a team and for us as a program.”

The coach, along with quarterback Feleipe Franks, running back Lamical Perine and defensive end Jabari Zuniga all appeared in

Hoover, Alabama, on Monday afternoon to talk about the upcoming season at SEC Media Days.

The Gators are coming off a huge year in 2018, winning 10 games and their first New Year’s Six Bowl victory since the 2009-10 season.

With all of the success UF saw in Mullen’s first year, Florida will look to live up to its expectations for the 2019-20 season.

This season, Florida will get the unique opportunity to open its year during “Week 0” in Orlando against the Miami Hurricanes to help celebrate the 150th season of college football.

“I think it’s huge. I mean, there’s a lot that goes into that game,” Mullen said. “We’re the opening game of the 150th year of SEE MEDIA DAYS, PAGE 11

UF Reitz Union to remain open for early voting despite new restrictions THE UNION ACCUMULATED ALMOST 8,000 VOTES IN THE 2018 GENERAL ELECTION

By Tori Whidden Staff Writer

The Reitz Union will not be affected by new restrictions on early voting.

Florida lawmakers are limiting early voting locations based on parking availability, which significantly affects college campuses. However, the Reitz Union has an adequate number of parking spaces, said Kim A. Barton, Alachua County supervisor of elections.

The Union was added as an early voting location in 2018 for the general election. The

location was the third highest in the county voters with 7,899 voters. Ahead was the Millhopper Library (12,901) and Tower Road Library (10,075), Barton said.

“Normally my office is up there, but the Reitz Union even beat us,” Barton said.

She said the Alachua County Supervisor of Elections works well with UF administration, and during the 2018 election, they had staff monitoring the parking spots. If they need additional spots in the 2020 election, they will address it when the time comes.

“We’ve talked about it since this bill has been passed and we don’t see an issue,” Barton said.

The union is popular because it’s convenient for those who work and live near cam-

pus, but also for the students and faculty who can walk there, she said.

“Not everyone that’s coming to early vote needs to utilize the parking spaces,” Barton said.

In July 2018, federal Judge Mark Walker announced the approval of college campuses being utilized as early voting sites.

“The judge announced the early voting injunction that morning and I was working on my letter to President Fuchs that afternoon,” Barton said.

Barton said the Alachua County Supervisor of Elections was one of the first offices that reached out to the college in an agreement to have early voting at the Reitz.

“We have such a wonderful working rela-

tionship with the administration,” Barton said.

“And we don’t think that having that this portion of the bill passed is going to be a barrier to the youth to turn out to vote.”

Caroline Cooper, a 21-year-old UF English senior, is a registered voter in Florida.

Although she votes in her hometown, Jacksonville, and is not planning on using the Union location, she thinks it’s an important option for students.

She said she feels many students take this location for granted, including herself.

“I think that having the Reitz Union as a location for early voting is essential and should be valued,” Cooper said. @tori_whidden twhidden@alligator.org

UF Health Shands nurse tests positive for fentanyl, fired AN EMERGENCY RESTRICTION ORDER WAS PUT ON HER LICENSE AFTER THE DIAGNOSIS

By Tori Whidden Staff Writer

A UF Health Shands Hospital registered nurse is no longer practicing after testing positive for fentanyl.

FRANKS SIGNS WITH RED SOX

The nurse, Emily Sosnowski, had an emergency restriction order put on her license by the Florida Department of Health, and she was also diagnosed with opiate use disorder, according to public record.

UF Health Shands issued a statement acknowledging Sosnowski’s employment with them for eight weeks.

“We followed our policies and swiftly addressed concerns we identified, terminating her employ-

ment,” the statement said. “We hold our staff to the highest standards of professional and ethical behavior.”

On Sept. 17 supervisors at Shands notified the management team that Sosnowski appeared impaired at work, according to the order.

Sosnowski’s supervisor said she took long breaks, had unscheduled absences or excessive tardiness, disappeared from the job and slept on the job, according to the order.

“Sosnowski’s co-workers repeatedly complained about her job performance,” the order said.

The supervisor also observed the nurse as having slurred speech, red glassy eyes, decreasing attention to personal appearance and hygiene, a lack of motor coordination and flushed color, according to the order.

The drug screen confirmed positive for fentanyl. According to her drug screening, her fentanyl levels were at 5940 pg/mL. The confirmation cutoff is 500 pg/mL. On May 9, Scott Teitelbaum, a physician specializing in addiction medicine, began an evaluation on Sosnowski because of the drug test

Sephora to open in Butler Town Center THE COSMETIC STORE IS SCHEDULED TO OPEN IN FEBRUARY

By Rosmery Izaguirre Staff Writer

Courtesy of Sephora

Sephora operates over 25,000 stores in 32 countries worldwide, according to the Sephora website. A new location of the store is set to open near Whole Foods in Butler Town Center in February.

Sephora is scheduled to open at the Butler Town Center in February, said Mary Reichardt, marketing director at Butler Enterprises.

The new store will be located on the southwest corner of Butler Town Center, behind Whole Foods and beside The Village Jeweler. The new 4,676-square-foot Sephora will feature the signature striped pattern, Reichardt

said.

She said the new location will focus on experiential marketing, the idea of enhancing the customer’s experience as they walk through the store and interact with the staff.

The new store will feature the Sephora Virtual Artist, an app Sephora features in-store and is available for download on personal devices, Reichardt said. The app uses facial recognition and virtual reality technology to allow customers to view different products on themselves without having to put them on.

“People are still looking to experience a product and form a relationship with people,”

Reichardt said. “I think it is going to be completely perfect for the town center.”

Sephora employees at the Oaks Mall location declined to comment on whether the store will remain open.

Sephora is opening 35 new locations across the United States in 2019, according to the Sephora public relations team.

The new locations will offer 13,300 products from more than 200 brands that range from cosmetics and skin care to hair and fragrance. @rgizaguirre rizaguirre@alligator.org

UF Law College finishing renovations for Fall semester THE THREE PROJECTS WILL BE COMPLETED IN AUGUST AND WILL COST ABOUT $3.6 MILLION

By Charlie Daffron Staff Writer

The UF Levin College of Law is renovating its facilities to make the space a more student-centric environment.

There are currently three construction projects underway, said Laura Rosenbury, the college’s dean.

The total cost of the project is about $3.6 million.

One of the projects involves renovating the bathrooms on the third floor of the Spessard L. Holland Law Center. Rosenbury said they are being made “nicer and more accessible” and will cost about $300,000.

The school is also renovating and expanding its Experiential Learning Hub, which will cost about $1.5 million.

The most expensive project will be renovating a large part of the second floor of Bruton-Geer Hall, which will cost about $1.8

million. The goal of this renovation is to make it a place where students can study and see advisers, Rosenbury said.

She said the law college has been considering possible ways to renovate certain buildings for several years, but funding was always a concern. The project was made possible with extra funding obtained from the Office of the Provost in January.

The early stages of the project began in late February and resumed after finals ended in May, Rosenbury

Supervisor found syringes SHANDS NURSE, from pg. 1 Sosnowski because of the drug test results.

Sosnowski told Teitelbaum she appeared impaired at work because she was not sleeping well as she takes care of her sick husband. She denied using fentanyl, suggesting her positive drug screen was from handling her husband’s fentanyl patches, according to the order.

Teitelbaum said the drug screen results were too high to be explained by the handling of fentanyl patches, according to the order.

A PEth blood test also came back positive at 242 ng/mL of alcohol. A level of 20 ng/mL is considered evidence of of moderate to heavy use.

Sosnowski credited the high levels to the amount of wine she consumes daily.

“She said this is her coping mechanism since she spends the whole day taking care of sick patients and coming home to an ill husband,” the order said.

Teitelbaum said her blood test contradicted the amount of alcohol she reportedly consumed.

Sosnowski was then questioned about her opiate use, but she told Teitelbaum she was prescribed Percocet on a couple of occasions for very short periods of time, according to the order.

Teitelbaum diagnosed Sosnowski with moderate to severe alcohol use disorder and moderate to severe opiate use disorder, according to the order.

“Ms. Sosnowski’s failure to engage in recommended treatment indicates that her actions are likely to continue without restriction,” the order said.

Sosnowski is unable to practice nursing with reasonable skill and safety to patients and was restricted from practicing as a nurse until the Intervention Project for Nurses tells the Florida Department of Health she’s safe to do so again, according to the order. @tori_whidden twhidden@alligator.org

said. Staff will be able to start moving back into the newly renovated buildings the first week of August.

The renovations haven’t affected any classes this summer because none of the areas under construction were used as classrooms, she said.

“We’re really excited about these renovations, and we predict that students will also be excited once they see them completed,” Rosenbury said.

Allen Connor, 31, a recent UF law school graduate, thinks the renovations

are a great idea since some of the facilities in the law school are outdated. However, he said the noise from the construction can make it difficult to study for his bar exam at the end of the month.

“I understand the reason for the timing, even if it is a little inconvenient,” Connor said. “But I am very thankful for the construction. It’s going to make my law school look much better.” @charlie_Daffron cdaffron@alligator.org

Patticakes at Bo Diddley to close THE SHOP WILL CLOSE JULY 26

By Yanet Centeno Contributing Writer

For Christina Stevens, there’s nothing like a good cup of café con leche.

It’s the 32-year-old respiratory therapist’s favorite drink on the Patticakes menu, and she doesn’t hesitate to order it whenever she frequently shows up at the shop in Bo Diddley Plaza.

But, after being a customer for three years, Stevens is going to have to find a new place to get her coffee.

Patticakes will be closing down on July 26.

“One thing I am going to miss about this place is meeting my sister-in-law, who works at the courthouse, every week for coffee dates,” Stevens said.

Stevens said Patticakes offers them more room for privacy in contrast to other coffee shops in the area and has a

welcoming space and friendly customer service.

Jan Patterson, the owner of Patticakes, said the coffee shop is not making enough revenue to sustain its downtown location.

The Haile Village Center location, which opened in 2011, will remain open. Patterson said the shop is closer to her home and easier to manage.

“Patticakes started off in Haile Plantation, but I expanded to downtown because I wanted a place where neighbors could gather and new people to meet,” she said.

The Bo Diddley Plaza Patticakes opened in September 2016 and began serving coffee, sandwiches and cupcakes to the downtown area.

Alongside its standard cupcakes like red velvet and vanilla, the shop cycles through specialty flavors each week, including peanut butter and jelly and blueberry.

Patterson said the coffee shop — named by combining her last name with the word

“cupcakes” — offers guests the perfect ambiance with indoor and outdoor seating and large tables spacious enough for an afternoon study group.

Paying the bills while making a good profit, however, is a big challenge as a local business owner, Patterson said.

The City of Gainesville has not approved any businesses to replace Patticakes, she said.

Gabriel Chavez, the general manager at Wyatt’s Coffee, said it’s incredibly sad to see a local business close down.

He loves how Gainesville has a place for so many coffee shops.

Wyatt’s Coffee and the other downtown shops cater to a large percentage of the Gainesville students and young professionals, Chavez said. In the past, Wyatt’s Coffee was also closed before relocating from midtown to downtown in 2018. According to Alligator archives, the midtown location didn’t have enough space or visibility.

“Locations can be a hit or miss,” Chavez said.

Women urge jail until trial for Epstein as judge weighs bail

By Larry Neumeister and Jim Mustian Associated Press

Two Jeffrey Epstein accusers urged a judge Monday to keep the wealthy financier behind bars until he goes on trial on federal charges that he sexually abused underage girls.

The women stood just feet from where Epstein was seated in his blue jail outfit as they asked a federal judge to reject a request by Epstein’s lawyers that he remain under house arrest in his $77 million Manhattan mansion until trial on conspiracy and sex trafficking charges.

Courtney Wild, an unnamed victim in the 2008 lawsuit against the Department of Justice for the secret plea deal that allowed Epstein to avoid similar charges, spoke for the first time in court with a fellow accuser.

Wild said she was sexually abused by Epstein in Palm Beach, Florida, when she was 14.

“He’s a scary person to have walking the streets,” she said.

Judge Richard M. Berman said he’ll rule Thursday whether Epstein can be freed on bail, but he noted at the outset of a two-hour hearing there was a presumption in sex trafficking cases involving juveniles that the defendant will remain locked up.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Alex Rossmiller said the government’s case is “getting stronger every single day” since Epstein was arrested July 6 as he arrived at a New Jersey airport from Paris on his private plane.

During a raid at Epstein’s Manhattan mansion following his arrest, Rossmiller said, investigators found “piles of cash,” “dozens of diamonds” and an expired passport with Epstein’s picture and a fake name in a locked safe.

“How many safes are there in so many other locations like these?”

Rossmiller asked.

He called the well-connected Epstein, 66, a flight risk and a danger to the community.

Epstein’s lawyer, Martin Wein-

berg, said his client has not committed crimes since pleading guilty to charges of soliciting a minor for prostitution in Florida in 2008 and that the federal government is reneging on a 12-year-old plea deal not to prosecute him.

Epstein had demonstrated that he “disciplined himself,” Weinberg said, by not engaging in any crimes since the Florida deal, in which he agreed to submit himself to sex offender registration procedures in multiple states.

The “14-year gap is an elegant rebuttal” to expectations that he would re-offend, Weinberg said. “It’s not like he’s an out-of-control rapist.”

Prior to Monday’s hearing, prosecutors said in court papers that additional women in multiple jurisdictions had told the government they were abused as minors by Epstein since his arrest.

Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta resigned last week following renewed criticism over the 2008 plea deal with Epstein he oversaw as the U.S. attorney in Miami.

Alachua County Public Schools district grade improves from a B to an A THE RANKING IS DECIDED BY STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES

By Ashley Lazarski Staff Writer

Just like students, school district administrators wait with bated breath as their grades are announced.

The Alachua County Public Schools district’s grade increased from a B to an A. The Florida Department of Education looks at students’ standardized test scores

to evaluate the districts.

Jennifer Wise, executive director of K-12 curriculum for Alachua County Public Schools, found out about the grade change Thursday.

To improve its school district in the past year, Wise said administrators focused on supporting teachers so they could better support students. Though there has been a teacher shortage in the district, administration has been working to both retain and recruit new teachers, Wise said.

“It’s a very complex system

with a lot of moving parts, between teachers, parents and students,” Wise said. “We are trying to keep everything aligned and cooking with gas so that more good things happen.”

Wise said it is important to focus on quality instruction to continue improving for next year. The more teachers and administrators who can differentiate and meet individual student needs, the better they will do.

“Being an A is great,” she said, “but until every single student is

reaching their full potential, there is still work to be done.”

While the overall district grade is an A, individual schools receive grades as well.

Howard W. Bishop Middle School’s individual grade, for example, remained a B this year, Principal Michael Gamble said.

Though a higher district grade reflects well on all schools within it, there is a difference between this grade and the individual school grades. On a school level, a B grade means an administration

has to take a look at these results and examine both its wins and its losses, Gamble said.

“We need to keep doing better with our lowest-quartile students,” Gamble said. “We have had some individual wins with students that did better, especially as far as reducing the achievement gap between African-American students and white students, but we can always keep improving.” @AshleyLazarski Alazarski@alligator.org

Third person charged for June Alachua shooting MAN ROBBED AFTER SHARING PICTURES OF MONEY

By Rachael Schirmer Staff Writer

A Gainesville woman was the third person to be charged with crimes in connection to a June 25 Alachua shooting.

Raynyoda Jackson, 41, was arrested Saturday on felony charges, including one for armed robbery.

Jackson was at her home in High Springs, Florida, on June 25 with Thaddeus Surrency and Sarah Elizabeth Harris, a friend of the man who was shot, according to a police report.

The trio reportedly took “molly,” also known as ecstasy. Harris told the pair her friend sent her pictures of a large sum of cash and asked to get a hotel room to “make love and chill,” according to the report.

After his arrest, Surrency told police Jackson and Harris planned to rob Harris’ friend

after seeing the pictures. He said his only task was to drive the vehicle and that Jackson was the alleged shooter, not himself, contradictng what the victim told police.

The police report maintained that Surrency shot the man but said Jackson drove away from the scene without providing aid or calling for help. Surrency told police that he, Jackson and Harris parked the vehicle at Jackson’s house after the incident, where it was located by police hours later.

The handgun, which Surrency told police was used in the shooting, is registered under Jackson’s name, according to the report.

Jackson was charged with armed robbery, aggravated battery, conspiracy to commit a felony and accessory after the fact, all felonies. She remains in jail in lieu of a $500,000 bond.

An arrest warrant for Harris has also been issued. @rschirmerr rschirmer@alligator.org

Couple charged for robbing men through dating app POLICE SAID FIVE ROBBERIES HAVE BEEN REPORTED BUT EXPECT MORE

By Rachael Schirmer Staff Writer

At least five men who contacted a woman on an online dating site were surprised by two Gainesville residents who robbed them.

Tavares Wilson, 31, and Leila Johnson, 24, were charged Thursday in connection to the series of robberies after an investigation

by Gainesville Police Department, Alachua County Sheriff’s Office and U.S. Marshals Service.

Since January 2019, Wilson reportedly used an online dating website to lure at least five men to an apartment complex in southwest Gainesville, under the guise of sex with a woman in exchange for money. He then robbed them at knifepoint or gunpoint, according to the report.

A GPD undercover detective contacted Wilson via the website and was provided a location of 3514

SW 30th Terrace. The detective led law enforcement to the location, where they were met by Wilson and Johnson, his girlfriend, in a black Hyundai with a pink steering wheel cover, a vehicle previously described in one of the five robbery reports and registered to Johnson.

U.S. marshals approached Wilson, who had a warrant regarding an unrelated case, before he attempted to flee the scene, according to the report.

In his rush, he left the car door open, which exposed a black semi-automatic handgun. Law enforcement officers also found powder cocaine, crystal meth and crack cocaine on him when they made the arrest.

The account used to lure the men was registered to an email address that matched Wilson’s Facebook account, according to the report.

A photo posted to Wilson’s Facebook account showed him standing next to a black Hyundai with a pink steering wheel cover.

Wilson was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a con-

Johnson was charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery, also a felony. Wilson and Johnson remain in jail in lieu of $157,000 and $35,000 bonds, respectively.

While five robberies have been reported, GPD suspects there are more that have not been reported due to the nature of the dating website.

Orlando Police Department established e-commerce exchange zones for people making online purchases or meetings in 2017 to prevent online robberies.

The zones, located at the department headquarters, are monitored by video 24 hours a day. According to Sgt. Lisa Scott, GPD spokesperson, there are no plans to provide an ecommerce exchange zone in Gainesville. @rschirmerr rschirmer@alligator.org

Protesters urge: leave the light on for immigrants

About 100 people gathered in front of Gainesville City Hall on Friday evening to protest the conditions in immigration detention centers. The protest, Lights for Liberty: A Vigil to End Human Detention Camps, was one of more than 500 around the world.

It was organized by North Central Florida Indivisible and other local activist groups and featured several speakers who urged the crowd to help the undocumented community in Gainesville and call members of the U.S. Congress to demand the camps be closed down, including the center located in Homestead, Florida. The event also had local children recite poems that were left behind by children in Theresienstadt, a ghetto and concentration camp built by the Nazis during the Holocaust.

Sarah Younger, 60, holds up her torch Friday night during a speech by a local activist protesting the use of immigration detention centers across the United States.

Younger said she came to the protest because, like many others, she wants the camps to be closed down. She said she came to the event dressed as the Statue of Liberty “to remind us all of the land we love, the land of freedom.”

Heysel Marte, 30, Milliana Rodriguez, 8, and her brother Noah Rodriguez, 7, listen to a speech during the vigil. Milliana, who goes

by Millie, sang for the group of protestors, performing the song “One Day” by Matisyahu. Millie said she thinks about the children in detention centers when she sings. “I think they aren’t really happy, and I want them to be free someday,” she said.

Heysel Marte, 30, shields her candle during the vigil. “It’s immoral what they’re doing to the kids,” Marte said. “These are children.”

Nancy Parkinson, 70, sits on the front steps of City Hall and holds up a sign protesting immigration detention centers. Parkinson said she created her protest sign based on a popular anti-Vietnam War poster from when she was young. She also said she would be writing letters to government officials about the detention centers.

Editorial

Column

G

et your hiking shoes on and perfect your “Naruto run” because, in another case of ‘the internet made me do it,’ it looks like we are raiding Area 51.

In a totally sarcastic, not at all real bid to free the facility’s resident aliens, one million Facebook users have RSVP’d to raid the U.S. military base in the Nevada desert on Sept. 20. If you’ve seen memes of attack plans or reactions to what people will do with their newly freed alien friends, you can thank the public meme page “S--tposting because im in shambles” in collaboration with Twitch video game streamer, SmyleeKun. It’s just a Facebook event, but the Air Force is taking it seriously, which has us half-laughing and half-hoping no one actually books a ticket to Nevada to “see them aliens.”

As anyone would expect, the Air Force discourages anyone from trying to come into the area. But when Air Force spokesperson Laura McAndrews said, “The U.S. Air Force always stands ready to protect America and its assets,” we’re sure everyone planning to go started giving each other major side-eye. Her comment also had us thinking, “Hmm, that’s exactly what someone trying to keep us away from our aliens would say,” and wondering what would happen if someone does end up making it on base.

Section 1382 of Title 18 forbids anyone from entering any military base without permission. If found guilty of trespassing, you may find yourself with a $500 fine, six months imprisonment or both. According to IFL Science, a restricted area surrounds Area 51 with signs saying, “Use of deadly force authorized.”

If you think the Air Force will play along with the meme — don’t. In January, a man was fatally shot on sight after driving past the security gate at the National Nuclear Security Administration and refusing to obey security officers and police. In 2012, a BBC team was held at gunpoint and forced to lie on the ground for three hours while the FBI arrested them for trespassing Area 51.

If that is not enough to put the fear of the alien overlord in you, the Active Denial System exists, which is a non-lethal, directenergy weapon developed by the military. It’s the closest thing we have to laser vision as it hits base-raiders with an intense feeling of heat. Our bets are on this bad boy being the perfect tool for dispersing any meme-crazed individuals trying to storm Area 51.

With the mystery of what would happen if people raided the alleged alien hostage facility out of the way, naturally the next question down the spiral of our consciousness is why? The only answer seems to be in the name of the meme group that created the event: s--tposting.

Excuse our language, but s--tposting is a term that describes content used to derail a discussion or argument. The term has morphed into something else in recent years to encompass a type of internet activity characterized by posting a lot of memes or jokes “aggressively, ironically and trollishly poor quality,” as the Daily Dot’s Miles Klee describes it.

Over 1 million people stand behind this meme. One. Million.

People.

Yes, the meme is hilarious. We would love to share a dorm with an extraterrestrial and have them translate our EDM music and explain to us why astrology is real. But if this many people can rally behind one online joke, what else can we band together to do?

If you are this passionate about alleged extraterrestrial aliens being held captive, wait until you hear about how there are currently human men, women and children in immigration detention centers being held against their will. Children have been separated from their parents for reasons out of their control.

You think the extraterrestrial aliens in Area 51 need to be reunited with their planet? What about the immigrant children taken away from their families at the border.

If you actually plan on storming Area 51, at least rescue your own kind first.

Letter

Letter to the Editor: Reflections of an independent senator

I

am an independent senator for District D., and not affiliating with a party comes with its challenges. Without representation in the Replacement and Agenda Committee, independent senators will have a harder time than party-affiliated senators in obtaining the information they need to make informed decisions.

However, being independent senators means we have more freedom when it comes to making decisions that reflect our individual positions on an issue, rather than the position of a party. Unfortunately, with skipping debate becoming more common, those unique positions of ours do not get a chance to be heard except in how we vote.

I find it concerning most senators are willing to eliminate the deliberative functions of the Senate or simply refuse to use them. It implies most senators do not want to express their individual opinions. It is a shame to see the talented minds of both parties go unheard.

There are a few things that can be done to solve this problem. The Senate could require hearing things as a block be approved unanimously, so senators can vote however they please. The Senate could guarantee some debate before being allowed to vote on skipping the rest of the debate, so at least some discussion can be had or so a senator can give a dissenting opinion. Alternatively, the Senate could allow Senators time at the end of a vote to make a brief statement

on why they voted how they did.

I believe the main problem is the lack of diversity of opinion in the Senate, at least among those who do voice their opinions. Things may be summarized as either “Impact” or “Inspire,” and these positions might not be representative of some students. The solution is therefore third parties, which would not be subject to these obstacles and have been experimented with in the past, but of which there are currently none in the Senate.

Third parties could be made possible if our elections were conducted with ranked-choice voting. If their preferred candidate doesn’t win, their vote would be automatically transferred to their second, third and other most preferred candidates in the order they indicated. The election of thirdparty candidates into the Student Senate would allow for the representation of students with different interests and ideas who are not always represented by the current two-party establishment. This would solve the lack of diversity of opinion in the Senate and could encourage Senators of all parties to voice their individual opinions, ideas and concerns in a way that does not currently happen and vote to protect the deliberative functions of the Senate.

AWARDS

Alligator Awards: Game/Match/Meet of the Year The 2018-19 collegiate athletic season saw both success and failure for the University of Florida, from the woes of the women’s basketball team to the electricity of the track and field programs. Throughout the ups and downs, however, came specific games, matches and meets that showcased UF athletics at its best.

The nominees for the Alligator Game/ Match/Meet of the year are the NCAA Indoor Championships, men’s football vs.

LSU, lacrosse vs. Stoney Brook, and men’s basketball vs. LSU. NCAA Indoor Championships My pick for Meet of the Year goes to the men’s track and field team for their performance at the NCAA Indoor Championships. This was Florida’s sole national championship this year, and coupled with a legendary performance from SEC Male Athlete of the Year Grant Holloway, the choice is clear.

The junior left his mark on the event.

He won the 60-meter hurdles title with a time of 7.35 seconds -- which broke the American record of 7.36 -- and won the 60-meter dash with a time of 6.50 seconds, breaking his own school record of 6.51.

Sophomore Hakim Sani Brown and senior Ryan Clark finished third and sixth in the 60-meter dash, respectively.

Over at the weight throw, redshirt senior AJ McFarland finished fourth with 73 feet, 10.25 inches, tied for the high-

est finish in program history. The Gators also finished third in the 4x400 relay with Holloway, Clark and sophomores Chantz Sawyers and Benjamin Lobo Vedel adding points to contribute to the school’s fifth men’s national title under coach Mike Holloway.

SEC tournament buzzer beaters are incredible and defensive slug outs in football will leave you glued to the TV, but championship performances are the end goal.

@JSalvador_14 @jsalvador@alligator.org Football vs. LSU The Dan Mullen era at Florida was a mere five games in when the coach led his No. 22 Gators out of the tunnel that scorching Saturday last October.

His team had been tested early, faltering in a disappointing bout to Kentucky before rebounding with consecutive road victories over Tennessee and Mississippi State. Yet, taking on LSU was a challenge far more daunting.

The No. 5 Tigers arrived in Gainesville with two top 10 wins to their pedigree, led by quarterback and then-Heisman hopeful Joe Burrow, who had yet to throw a pick all season.

SEC Nation was in town. Tim Tebow was in attendance to be inducted into the team’s Ring of Honor. The storied rivalry among these two foes was about to add another chapter in front of a soldout Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.

Brad Stewart’s pick six to all but seal the win with 1:45 remaining is now etched into memories of Gator fans forev-

UF lands another high-profile transfer

By River Wells Sports Writer

Screenshot by the Alligator

Undergraduate transfer Tyree Appleby averaged 17.2 points and 5.6 assists last year for the Cleveland State Vikings.

Former UF women's basketball guard Funda Nakkasoglu signed with Galatasaray S.K .of the Turkish Women's Basketball League last Friday.

First, coach Mike White and the Gators landed undergraduate transfer Anthony Duruji from Louisiana Tech. UF followed up by luring graduate transfer Virginia Tech forward Kerry Blackshear Jr. to Gainesville.

It only took three weeks for Florida to continue the trend.

UF kept along with its busy offseason by adding undergraduate transfer Tyree Appleby to the team on Sunday.

The 6-foot-1 point guard, who played his last two seasons at Cleveland State, announced his intention to enroll at Florida on his Twitter account. Appleby chose UF over Texas A&M, and as an undergraduate transfer, he’ll be eligible to play

during the 2020-21 season. Appleby was able to join the team after redshirt freshman Isaiah Stokes announced his intention to transfer.

Appleby was the centerpiece for Cleveland State last season. Averaging 17.2 points, 5.6 assists and shooting 39 percent from the 3-point line, Appleby is ranked 32nd on ESPN’s Top 50 sit-out Transfers. Despite his efforts, however, the Vikings had a disappointing season, finishing 10-21 and going just 5-13 in the Horizon League.

This will not be the first time White has coached an Appleby. When White served as head coach of the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs from 2011-2015, he coached Appleby’s brother, Raheem, who averaged 13.2 points, 1.5 assists and shot 33.2 percent from 3-point range in

his four years under White.

The Gators will look to Appleby to fill a roster facing numerous potential losses in 2020. Sophomore Andrew Nembhard has already declared for the NBA draft once before backing out to return, and he could potentially do it again once the 2019-20 season is over. On top of that, freshman guard Scottie Lewis could possibly leave the team after a year (as could guard Tre Mann), and Blackshear Jr.’s eligibility will run out after this season.

Appleby and Duruji will fill the inevitable voids by the time they are eligible to take the court.

With the new addition, Florida bolsters an already impressive 2019 class that is ranked seventh in the nation and second in the SEC, according to 247Sports. UF’s active offseason looks to make it an im-

UF faces Miami Aug. 24 MEDIA DAYS, from pg. 1

Associated Press

Gators defensive end Jabari Zuniga had 11 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks for the Gators last season.

Zuniga was named to the Lott IMPACT Trophy Watch List in May.

you know, kind of catapult for one of the teams. UF jumped from four wins in 2017 to 10 in 2018 and, on Monday, Mullen was asked about the difficulty of possibly getting up to 11 or 12 wins in 2019.

“I think in year two, there’s a lot more comfort within the program. … Our guys knew what to expect coming into the offseason. It’s easier to attack the offseason. I think we’ve made bigger gains in a lot of ways this offseason than we did last year.”

The players had the opportunity to speak to the media as well, and Zuniga shared some of his eye-opening expectations for his senior season.

“First, I want to win the SEC East, win the SEC Championship and then get to a bowl game. Obviously, get to the National Championship,” Zuniga said. ”We, as a team,

have very high expectations.

We feel like we can do some special things this year.”

For UF to win the SEC East and get back to the SEC Championship for the first time in three years, they’ll have to beat Georgia, who has outscored the Gators 78-24 in the last two matchups.

As the 2019 season heads toward its opening next month, Florida wants to ride the momentum it gained from last season’s success.

“We are ready for this upcoming season,” Franks said.

“We have done everything the right way this summer, going into fall camp, to prepare us for next season. So I think it is all just preparation-based, and our team has done a great job.” @evanmplepak elepak@alligator.org

FOOTBALL

Feleipe Franks agrees to terms with Boston Red Sox Dylan O’Shea Sports Writer

Florida quarterback Feleipe Franks is now a professional athlete. He’s not getting paid by a football team, however.

The Boston Red Sox, who drafted Franks with the 947th pick in the 31st round of the 2019 Major League Baseball Draft, agreed to terms with Florida’s signal caller on Friday.

The deal, which included a $40,000 signing bonus, will not be enough to pull Franks from the Gators football team. He is expected to remain at Florida and play out his eligibility as UF’s quarterback.

While drafting a football player who hasn’t played baseball in years may seem outlandish, this is not the first time Boston has drafted a Florida quarterback. The Red Sox selected former UF quarterback Jeff Driskel with the 863rd pick in the 29th round of the 2013 MLB Draft.

Driskel never played an inning for any Boston affiliate, but, like Franks, he took advantage of a contract signing bonus.

Interestingly enough, Franks hasn’t ruled out

playing for the Red Sox in the future.

“My main focus is football [in] college, then hopefully a career in the NFL,” Franks said at SEC Media Days. “Then (baseball) is kind of like a backup plan, backup job.”

While he is focused on football now, his baseball future may be dependent on how he develops as a quarterback.

Franks had a rough rookie year, but he improved drastically during his sophomore season.

In 2017, he registered nine touchdowns and eight interceptions with just 1,438 yards passing.

Last season, he jumped to 24 touchdowns against just six picks, along with 2,457 yards through the air.

His 2017 passer rating improved from 113.3 to 143.3 in 2018.

If the trend of improvement continues, it’s possible Franks is drafted by an NFL team down the road. If he plateaus or declines, however, then it’s possible Franks picks up a fielder’s glove.

Franks hasn’t pitched since his junior year of high school, but he can still toss pro-level heat.

He was able to register

94 miles per hour on the radar gun after he was drafted.

If Franks eventually makes the switch from football to baseball, he wouldn’t be a Gators trailblazer for quarterbacks who went back to the diamond.

Former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow is now a member of the New York Mets tripleA affiliate, the Syracuse Mets.

The 31-year-old outfielder switched to baseball after a short stint in the National Football League. Like Franks, Tebow hadn’t played baseball since high school.

Even with all of these factors to consider, Franks is focused on being the Gators’ starting quarterback.

Florida is coming off of a 10-3 season and a 4115 drubbing of Michigan in the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl under coach Dan Mullen. Both Franks and the Gators are looking to make another leap and compete for a national championship.

Baseball will have to wait. doshea@alligator.org @dylanoshea24

Lacrosse defeated Stony Brook 11-10 AWARDS, from pg. 10 er, a sort of “Where were you when it happened?” moment that will be relived for decades.

For all the brilliance and brute displayed among the two conference rivals, for the atmosphere created in the Swamp and for its importance in revitalizing Florida’s season, this game is my pick for Game of the Year.

@jack_braverman jbraverman@alligator.org

Women’s lacrosse vs. Stony Brook The Florida women’s lacrosse team began the 2018-19 campaign in unusual form, losing six out of its first 10 games.

It was the worst start to a season in program history, so the Gators needed a performance to prove they could still compete with elite teams like Maryland and North Carolina.

That performance came on the road against then-No. 17 Stony Brook when UF defeated the Seawolves 11-

10 to avoid a fourth-consecutive loss.

Florida and Stony Brook went back and forth in the first half, which led to a 4-4 tie heading into the break.

The Gators began the second half on a 4-1 run, but the Seawolves answered back with a 3-0 run to tie the game at 8.

With 1:22 remaining in the contest, Stony Brook found the back of the net to cut Florida’s lead to 1110. They would have forced over-

time if not for senior goalkeeper Haley Hicklen.

Hicklen came up with her 15th -and arguably most important -- save of the game with 22 seconds left to take down the Seawolves.

The victory sparked an 11-game winning streak that resulted in UF’s ninth-straight regular season conference championship and sixthstraight conference tournament championship.

Because of the position that the Gators were in before this game, and how they responded after it, this deserves to be the Game of the Year.

@bryan_2712 bmatamoros@alligator.org Men’s basketball vs. LSU Florida and LSU faced off three times during the men’s college basketball season and each game had a bit of everything: overtimes, comebacks, last-possession finishes, etc.

The game that jumped out to me the most, though, occurred in the SEC Tournament when the two teams met in the quarterfinals.

The Gators entered the game clinging to hopes of making the NCAA Tournament, needing a win

against the Tigers to secure a tournament berth for the third-consecutive year.

Florida trailed by double digits for most of the game, but toward the middle of the second half UF made a run, cutting LSU’s 13-point lead to one.

The game was a back-and-forth affair from then on.

With 13 seconds to play and the game knotted at 73, Florida had the ball and one last possession to avoid overtime and catapult themselves into the NCAAs. Keyontae Johnson drove to the basket, collapsing LSU’s defense and allowing Andrew Nembhard open space at the top of the key.

Johnson’s pass set up his teammate for the open three.

Swish.

Nembhard’s three gave the Gators the 76-73 victory, advancing them to the SEC Semifinals and securing a trip to the NCAA Tournament.

That moment on that stage was massive for the UF men’s basketball team and because of that, I believe it’s the Alligator Awards Game of the Year.
