Photo by Carl Dykes It's not a question of why it is great to be something, but rather how great you can be at it. Here at the University of Florida, the phase It's Great to Be... has become almost Cliche, yet it is doubtful that many students actually take the time to ponder the validity of that statement. Therefore, why is it great to be anything? Aside from personal satisfaction, the over- all reward of being great, or the best, at something is usually satisfying. Greatness can be achieved in a number of ways, including hard work, dedication, :- and perhaps most importantly, devotion. Of course, to continue that trend of greatness one must continue to work towards that goal. The great thing in this: world is not so much where you stand, as in what direction you are moving, said Oliver Wendell. Holmes. As students, we must continue to strive towards greatness. One of the keys to success is representation. If we are to be seen as great, we must first show ourselves as so. tcon't page 5i At the San Jose game, the Florida Visual Ensemble demonstrates their flag routine during halftime.

Photo by UAA tcon't from page 2 The University of Florida prides itself on it reputation as a national leader in academics, attaining re- search grants, student recruitment, and also on its tremendous school spirit. Aside from the university, there are other aspects of a student's life that are, and can be, great. College life itself is stereotyped as being the time of one's life. The ability to learn and gather knowledge about one's interests is a great right that we students have decided to take advantage of. UPS athletic pro- gram and intramural sports have a distinguished record for being some of the best in the nation; thus greatness can be inferred from them. Being a mem- ber of a brotherhood or sisterhood provides a great opportunity to network for the future and to form great lifelong friends. Involvement on and off cam- pus provides students with a great outlet to pursue other interests besides through the Classroom. Per- haps the greatest achievement one can achieve while at the University of Florida is graduation. Arguably, the seniors know better than anyone why it is Great to Be a Florida Gator. But aside from being a Gator, the overall aspects of college life are great, thus leaving students with many outlets fOI' greatness. -Gordon Van Owen On game day, thousands of students, staff and alumni flood the Univer- sity of Florida Campus to support their Florida Gators.

Soon after, acceptance letters begin arriving in the mail and one's college life officially begins. Once the ultimate college decision, where to attend, is made, the process of regis- tration and orientation begins. For many University of Florida stu- dents, the memories of Preview are still fresh in their memories. Once initial registration is over, the full college experience starts. August marks the beginning of each Fall Se- mester and an ambush of students overwhelms campus. With the new students comes new opportunities for personal growth, professional opportunities, and the ever daunting Class. Once classes begin, there is little one can do to escape the Workload and other requirements that come with persuing a college education. It simply has to be done. But all work and no play makes one dull, correct? Many students lives reach far beyond the walls of the Class- room and branch out into many areas of concentration including clubs, sports, work, travelling, and rest. While life can be stressful from time to time, most students find it neces- sary to expand their lives beyond Class. The numerous outlets avail- able to students are impressive. A Wide range of activities and organi- zations make campus diverse and provide ample opportunities for growth outside the Classroom. Whether you show your Gator pride, participate in some of the ac- . tivities and organizations on campus, or like to travel and relax, there is no ' typical student life. Each person has his or her own life outside of class and chooses to resolve the stresses of class in his or her own way. It's great to relax, it's great to study, but most importantly, it's great to be a student. -Gorclon Van Owen ITS GREAT TO BE... 7 Spending time together junior Danny Rudewics and Jackie Seims are at Medieval Times in Orlando, Florida.

While most students went home for the summer to enjoy their days on the beach and with family, others stayed in Gainesville in order to get ahead with credits or finish their final classes before Graduation. Then there were those few that came to Gainesville for the first time to begin their collegiate journey. I came to UF this past summer in order to get acquainted with the school and the classes. It really paid off because I was not as nervous and lost on the first day of the Fall semester, said Freshman lliana Zelaya. As opposed to the busy fall and spring semesters, the summer terms offered a more laid-back ambiance around the school. There was less of a hustle and bustle in the Reitz Union around lunch time. There was also a lot less hassle for parking. Even though the classes were taught at a faster pace because of the time constraint, most students found them easier because there were fewer students in the Classes. I found the summer courses more difficult. Since there were fewer students in the class I also found it easier to approach the professors about questions since they had to deal with fewer students, said Sophomore Jose Pinero. For others, the summer was the gateway to the rest of their lives. Needing only a few credits here and there, some seniors extended their final year to this final term in order to relieve the stress of taking so many credits in one semester or just to extend their carefree college days. Some took the opportunity to advance in credits in order to shorten their stay. I am looking forward to graduation, but I wanted to spend one last summer here because I am not in a hurry to leave just yet, because I really enjoyed UP and everything that I have encountered. Next fall I will take my final credits in order to graduate, said Senior Paul Di Muont. Whatever your reason for staying for the summer was, chances are that it was not a waste of time and it was highly enjoyable. -Diana Delgado SUMMEiizoos ' iiiii um 5N .. f9 M.

Programs ranged from UF Exchange and UP sponsored programs to independent programs led by other organizations as well. Studying abroad offered stu- dents a very unique adventure to add to their college expe- rience. Studying abroad is an incredible way for students to spend their summer, semester or even an entire school year. Spending a summer or even a semester in a foreign country is definitely a once in a lifetime experience for those students that decided to partake in it. Many courses were offered both in English and in the host language. There were also a limited number of scholarships available, which helped the ef- forts of students wishing to study abroad. While some students hoped to learn about new cultures, others went with the goal of learning or even mastering a new language. Studying in a foreign country also gave stu- dents the chance to prefect a foreign language or even to become fluent in it. Junior Alia Cousins, said I plan to study in Spain during the next fall semester with the goal of becoming fluent in Spanish, as I've heard many great things on the experience of studying abroad in Spain. The Study Abroad Services Office at the International Center located in Grinter Hall offered information on the various programs UF offers, along with information on the other Independent programs as well. It has become a place where students can meet with study abroad counselors who offer insight on the different programs and to discuss their choices. The opportunity to study abroad is definitely an unforget- table experience for the students who were able to participate and study in a foreign country. -Alyssa Tomillo Stephanie Gregory smiles as Melissa Johnson, Jennifer Royal, Cait Flynne, Eric Ruben, and Andy Amron try punting on the River Cam in Cambridge, England.

Whether students spent their two days arguing with their parents, worrying about their schedules or just soaking in the college atmosphere, they remember the day when they were once eager freshmen. Students started out the first day with small group sessions in which they learned more about the majors they were interested in and the classes they would need to take. Later on, students were exposed to a wide range of issues impacting first-year students, taught Gator Cheers and watched skits about college life. At the end of the day students got to experience dorm life by staying in Broward Hall and eating at Broward Din- ing. The next day, students rushed around picking out their schedules for the upcom- ing semester, getting their Gator One cards made and setting up things such as meal plans or declining balance and parking decals. At the end of the day, students would leave with a sense of anticipation for their first college semester to begin. Freshman Pouya Abdollahzadeh said, 1'I feel that overall, Preview was a helpful experience in facilitat- ing the adjustment between high school and univer- sity life. Not only was I able to meet countless people, but I got the reassuring feeling for UF that affirmed my convictions in my belonging here. The incoming freshmen got the chance to meet new people, which sometimes led to lasting friendships. Many students also used their experiences at Preview as a way to make the transition into college life a smooth one. Most importantly, Preview served as an experience to intro- duce students to their new home for the upcoming years.

Photo by Jose Otero GREEK LIFE RECRUITMENT For over 100 years Greek Recruitment has become an essential part of campus life here at the University of Florida. Each year The Panhellenic Council hosts its annual formal recruitment which offers female students the opportunity to meet the 16 Panhellenic sororities. The days of recruitment are broken down from Sorority 101, Philanthropy and Preference dinner. This year about 1,200 girls went through Formal recruitment the week before classes began and only 900 bids were extended on Bid Day. The Interfraternity Council held its recruitment the second week of school in hopes of a huge turn out for the 22 fraternities. Greek Recruitment is a terrific opportunity for students to learn about the Greek community and all of our phenomenal chapters. Recruitment is by far the largest facilitated program within the Greek commu- nity, as over 2000 students each year partici- pate. Going through Greek Recruitment is an outstanding experience which you will remem- ber for the rest of your life, stated IFC Presi- dent Brian Blank. Fraternities pledge classes increased by 20020 at each house with over 872 accepting their bids into fraternity life. The National Pan-Hellenic Council and the Multicultural Council held it recruitment throughout the se- mester hosting various informational meetings and setting up table displays in Turlinton plaza in order to recruit potential new members. Since these councils do not have fraternal housing they are faced with a challenge in order to get their organization name out onto the college campus. This year numerous Greek Organizations colonized here at the University of Florida. Tau Kappa Epsilon and Sigma Pi decided to recolonize there chapters. In addition, Sigma Beta Rho and Delta Phi Omega were selected to be official members of the Multicultural Council. Going Greek has been a timeless attribute that has not only benefitted respective members but has left a permanent cam- pus tradition. Jose Otero During Fraternity rush, interested students attend rush activities to get to know the brothers. Once the fraternity got to know some of the students, they would present a bid to the potential new members they felt would fit in fraternity most apprOpriately.

Photo by lose Otero 16 GATOR SPIRIT GATOR SPIRIT Whether students cheered as athletic teams competed for top spots in the SEC or presented research findings at national conventions, Gator pride ran deep in the hearts of students and alumni. There was good reason for 50,000 alumni to return back on game day and for the number 12 rank in alumni giving. The love of a university of which they had been a part, a university they helped develop, Clearly gave them that reason. As the flagship university in the F lorida school system, the academic and research colleges rank top in the nation. A federally-funded brain institute, the world's largest citrus research center, a microkelvin facility and a 100- kilowatt research reactor are just some of the factors that help hold positions in national rankings. True Gator pride can only be seen on the athletic fields and in the stands, as bragging rights and national titles are routinely on the line. Dominating the SEC, the Gators have 1 1 straight SEC All-Sports trophies and are one of only two teams to have ranked among the nation's top 10 athletic programs for each of the past 20 years. What all this translates into is heated rivalries between schools like Ten- nessee, Georgia and Florida State. Evident around campus, students' pride could be seen hanging from balconies, attached to cars and most notice- ably worn. These extensions, occasionally taken to ex- tremes were evidenced on game days with painted faces and orange and blue outfits and a bus painted orange and blue with a gator head on the hood. With the continued growth of the student body, it is obvious that the accomplishments of the university will continue to grow, expanding on an already diverse back- ground. And while only time will tell, it is clear even now that, It's great to be a Florida Gator. -Sean Riley SCHOOL SPIRIT AT UF IS LIKE NOWHERE ELSE.

Midnight Madness, a yearly tradition signaling the Official start of basketball season, was held October 17th in the O'Connell Center. It was comprised of many activi- ties leading up to the long awaited, first official midneight practice session of both the men and women's teams. Pre-basketball activities began at 9 pm. whent he doors Offically Opened to the public. Activities included a concert performance by local band Star Sixty Nine and an autograph session with the palys and coaches of both teams. There was also a step show with various fraterni- ties and sororities. Blake Goldfarb 2L8. Basically the step contest set the tone for the rest of the night. By 11 o'clock there was still more in store for the fans. Companies like Dodge, Papa John's and Alltel sponsored activi- ties of their own such as a shoot-out con- test for a Dodge truck, a sumO-wrestling contest and a shoot and seek cell phone contest. At 11:59 pm. the crowd was ready for the countdown, lead by a performance by the Dazzlers. One minute later the events of the night had advanced to the time everyone had been waiting for. The women's team was introduced, while throwing autographed basketballs t0 the fans. Later, Billy Donovan, head coach of the men's basket- ball team, led the team out onto the floor. They were introduced to the same Cheering crowd and began with i drills, scrimmages and a slam dunk contest. By the end of the night basketball fans were looking forward to the start of a great season.

The Gator Nights staff works hard year round to organize amazing nights filled with a variety of activities and goings on. Aside from the typical movie, shown in the Reitz Union Cinema, Gator Nights patrons can also enjoy pool, bowling, food and a number of other activities, that in the past have included: a hypnotist, funky labels, moon walks and a country-themed night. I'm really impressed With the hard work and effort that helps make Gator Nights a success every Friday night, said senior Steve Cohen. Whever I want to hang out with some friends, grab a late night snack or play a couple of games of pool, ljust call up some of my buddies and meet them at the Reitz Union. One of the primary goals of the Gator Nights staff is to make each Friday night unique so that students want to come back week after week. Once, they even brought in live animals and put hay all over the union and N orth Lawn for the complete farmhouse look. Another element that makes Gator N ights so unique is that fact that it has been an on campus tradition for many years. Students have been flocking to the Reitz Union on Friday nights for as long as most people can remember. This year, the Gator Nights staff looks forward to another year of fun nights filled with interesting activi- ties for all students who are interested in coming out. -Gordon Van Owen During Gator Nights, these students had the opportunity to get dressed in western outfits, in the Reitz Union.

Photo by Jose Otero Sam Saxon, housedad for Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, proposes in front of some of his brothers. This process, known as lavaliering, is an age old tradition in the Greek system. Photo by Jose Otero CAMPUS TRADITIONS The University of Florida finished celebrating its 150th anniversary this year and through the last century and a half, many traditions have come and gone. The traditions at UF were a big part in my choosing to attend Florida, said freshman Ed Maldonado . In the past, traditions concentradted heavily on in- coming freshman, 0r rats, and their treatment from upper division students. Wether they were forced to wear rat caps or salute seniors, many of the freshman- orientecl traditions were meant to train the incoming students. Homecoming has alWas been a big event on campus. Freshman were woken up in the middle of the night and were forced to carry their weight in wood to the bonfire. Ever attended a football game? Fans should ready themselves for a plethora of Chants, songs and arm movements to cheer on the Gators. The chomp has become symbolic of UP football tradition as well as We are the Boys of Old Florida and It's Great to Be a Florida Gator. It's gauranteed that Mr. Two-Bits will make an appearance at everyone home game, as he has done for over 50 years. But footb all isn't the only sport On campus with a wide , variety of traditions. Any event in the O'Connell Center is plagued with the Rowdy Reptiles and their undaunting school spirit and loud behavior. Reading the Alligator has been a campus tradition since 1906. As the largest, student-run, college newspa- per in the nation, the Alligator has a national reputation that it strives to maintain. From painting the 34th Street wall to decorating caps at graduation, Gainesville and UP are ripe with tradi- tions old and new. -Adrienne Alexandria Sorority Bid Day is, perhaps, a dream come true for many college girls.

Photo by lose Otero TAILGATING The scene is crawling with trucks, cars, motor homes, tents and of course people. Homeowners who are looking to make a little extra while fans socialize, eat and ex- change tickets with family, friends, or even perfect strang- ers rent out their yards. The term tailgating generally imposes the image of piCk-up trucks, but there is so much more to the pre- kickoff madness. ust as many people can be found at the fraternity-sorority barbeques and Emerson Alumni Hall. Some go back and forth between where they Choose to spend their pre-game hours. In a grassy spot right outside the stadium was where third-year marketing student David Manz was for the Ole Miss game. He said he doesn't usually tailgate there, but was entertaining a visiting friend that weekend with the outside festivities. In the alumni hall, you can find stu- dents from long a go, like John Giblin, from the graduating Class of 1952. Although it's been over 50 years since he attended Class here, he still makes the 340-mile trip to Gainesville with his son-in-law to the occasional game. The two of us have been coming to games for ten years or so, says Giblin. He enjoys it. On any given home game day, pretty much anyone and everyone in the Gaines- ville area is taken hold of by Gator game day spirit. As long as UF football has been a tradition, so has been tailgating, which is not just limited to current students only. People of all ages, from infants and Children to alumni and senior citizens, can be found in any available space on campus and the surrounding area. People such as Cory Veiley, who faithfully shows up with his camper, tent, grill, and cooler to the baseb all field every time the Gators are in The Swamp and who has not missed a home Gator football game since 1969. I've been to every Florida-Georgia game since l69, the one in Athens and the one here, all the games in Tallahassee and all the games here. I've got the oldest motor home in the parking lot. He, his father, and now his son have allbeen University of Florida students at one time or another. -Alyssa Tormillo Parents and students celebrate the Parent's Weekend barbeque on campus before heading to the football game.

Hundreds of students pass by the booth everyday to get information about the campus. Photo by lose Otero 26 TURLINGTON PLAZA TURLINGTON PLAZA Turlington Plaza is arguably the focal point for cam- pus life here at the University of Florida. Groups meet there, protests are held there, religions are discussed there, and, perhaps most importantly, students are there. Turlington Plaza was created when the university built Turlington Hall in 1975, in honor of Ralph Turlington, the former State Commissioner of Education and UF alum. Since then, it has been named one of campus' three free-speech zones and hostscountless events, organizations and performances daily. Its unique location on campus also make it one of the most Visited places during the day. It has the highest rate of traffic in the state of Florida according to a recent poll. That means, that during peak hours, more people are crossing through Turlington Plaza than anywhere else in the state. With almost 50,000 students, it's easy to see how this figure can be valid. It's always bursting with energy. You never know what you're going to find there, said Adrienne Alexandria 31M The plaza has also been used as a set for several Hollywood movies, including Par- enthood with Steve Martin in 1989, as well. From religious debate to multicultural activities, Turlington Plaza provides all students with an outlet to express their Views or to promote an organization, as well as a great meeting place for friends and aquaintences. The plaza is home to another campus landmark, the ancient Chert Rock, donated by the Crushed Stone Cor- poration to the Geology Department at the university. Each day, thousands of students cross the pathways of Turlington Plaza on to their various destinations.

Since its inception that town residents have left their imprint throughout the various structures in the City. For the last couple of years rumors have escalated about the presence of ghosts throughout the city. Some would consider these rumors to be fiction but other consider it true.

Photo by lose Otero TAKING CARE FOOD $z; FITNESS Food and fitness were large parts of every student's life, whether they were dedicated to improving and main- taining health, or totally ignoring those issues. Some students may believe that skipping out on the biggie size fries or wlaking to class are considered diet and exercise, while others strive to maintain healthy eating habits and take advantage of the multiple gyms on campus. , All around Gainesville there are many different tastes to cater to the college student's abnormal appetite. Every- thing from on campus restaurant chains, to cooking at h ome, to delivery is available. These days you can get almost anything delivered, including Ben 8t Jerry's. So no matter what a student wants, food is always accessible. Fitness was also an important aspect of many students' lives. The number of ac- tivities one could get involved in for exer- cise was endless. Students could partici- pate in such things as intramural sports, free exercise classes at the gyms, or just take a run around campus. I enjoy working out because it keeps me in shape and it is a good way to fill up some of my spare time, said Sophomore Cesar Villalta. The school also provided many opportunities to stay healthy. Student could have taken advantage of the free flut shots and use the infirmary. Many free Classes were also provided to inform students of healthy choices or provide lifesaving techniques such as CPR. With stressful and hectic schedules, students felt the need to relax from it all. Whether it was indulging in a late night snack or working the stress off in the gym, students needed a way to exape. Though the Views of food and fitness differed amongst students, both were seen as large aspects of their lives. Jennifer Dunham These students wait in line for their smoothie at Freshens.

This is reflected by UPS number 10 ranking in the Princeton Review's list of top party schools in the nation.

In addition to the theater, the Ham Museum of Art and the Florida Museum of Natural History are located on campus to educate and provide cultural experiences to Visitors. The Phillips Center of Performing Arts hosts broadway performances, operas, dances and other mu- sical groups as well.

Moving away from the parental units can be intimidating for some, but for others it can be truly liberating. One of the toughest parts of living away from home is getting adjusted to living With roommates as opposed to family members. Whether mOVing in With strangers through roommate matching services, or living With old friends each provides its own unique set of adventures as it can prove difficult to keep lines of communication open This experience can strengthen relationships, test patients and teach lessons about others as well as one- self. Having sole accountability for chores like dishes, laundry and maintaining a clean living space can be a real culture shock for those that are not equipped to handle such responsibility. Eating how- ever, does not have to be such an over- whelming ordeal as it allows for various options. Students can Choose to eat out or to take advantage of the many on and off campus meal plans that are offered as opposed to staying in and cooking yet another pot of Ramen noodles. One of the aspects of this newfound independence is finding a balance between studying and socializing. Living with new people affords the more enjoyable op- tion to go out and have a good time as opposed to hitting the books. However, when it comes right down to it, most students become driven at the right times and manage to get their work done While still squeezing some fun into their schedules. In the end it's all about finding a balance and overcom- ing obstacles that present themselves be they With room- mates or Chores or schoolwork. Living away from home can strengthen character, provide good times and unfor- gettable memories of the college experience. -Leslie Veiga mJEMMV ATKENQ QOWHQMORE Freshman Lisette Davidson surfs the Internet for informa- tion about her topic for her research paper.

It also serves as a location for students and other residents to voice their opinions to drivers by. Photo by Jose Otero Since 1 905, the University of Florida campus in Gaines- ville has been voted as one of the most beautiful college campuses in the southeast. It's apparent to all Why the campus repeatedly re- ceives this honor. From the brick, Vine clad buildings to the canopy of trees that overshadows those buildings, the UP campus is definitely a beautiful place to learn and study. At the center of all of this campus beauty stands Century Tower. The 150 foot-tall tower dominates the skyline of campus and serenades students walking in the Vicinity. Other campus landmarks that pepper campus include the Baughman Center next Lake Alice, the University Auditorium twhich has stood as a symbol of UF's prowess since the early 20th century, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and Dauer Hall. The varying ages of the campus build- ings reflect UF's history and also provide and interesting study in architectural his- tory; from Sledd and Murphree Halls tbuilt in the 19105l to Rinker Hall tbuilt in 2003i, the range of history on campus provides a unique learning place. Campus looks like an Ivy League school with the historic buildings, but it maintains a certain Florida flare with the landscape and palm trees, said Senior Stephanie Gregory. There is no doubt that the University of Florida cam- pus is one of the most beatiful and well distinguished in the nation. F rom historic landmarks to modern wonders, the buildings and structures that make up the UP campus are second to none. -Gordon Van Owen 1T LOOKQ LIKE AN IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL WITH THE HISTORIC BUILD- INGQ. $WQREQGZY QENIOR The North Lawn at the Reitz Union serves as a major thoroughfare for students to get from one side of campus to the other.

If not, then you were not the average student on campus. Most students rushed to class or the bus and then waited to start or the bus to arrive. It seems that I spend almost half my day rushing to get from pne place to another and then having to wait for a class to being or waiting in line to get something to eat, said Sophomore Amanda Burris. Here at UF more than 20,000 people ate in the fast food restaurants and other dining facilities on campus on any given day. In order to get a meal, one usu- ally had to wait in line. After asking 10 students about the du- ration of time they spend waiting in line for food, seven out of 10 said that they usually spend about eight to 10 minutes in line during lunch or dinner hours. Fast food lines were not the only p1 ace on campus where students found them- selves hav1ng to wa1t. They could also At Talking Walls, students wait patiently to purchase their bus tickets from GMG Bus service in order to arrive home for the holidays. Photo by lose Otero relate to having to have waiting in line to purchase their books or tickets home, or at the financial aid office for assistance. So the question arisis, is this what UP is? A place where student hurry to get someplace and then find themselves lingering or waiting for something to begin? No, that is not was school was or is about. Having to wait in line was like another ocurse that everyone took but was not getting credit for. Hurrying up and waiting was just one of life's little lessons learned here by the students at the University of Florida. Johnny Gwynes HURRY UP 85 WAIT 41 mi. '1 LOVE SEEING ALBERT DRESSED IN A TUX.

They can be seen at appearances and games on cam- pus as well as throughout the Gainesville community and across the state, and are extremely active members of the spirit program at UF. Albert and Alberta travel to the football bowl games each year as well as to most of the Southeastern Confer- ence Championship tournaments for various other sports. Public appearances for the mascots average two per week, not including scheduled games. They range from performances for chari- ties such as the March of Dimes, American Cancer Society, and Gainesville Literacy Program. Often forgot about at first thought, Ollie and Baseball Al are also part of the mascot team at UF. They appear along with Albert and Alberta at all kinds of events. Of course we can't forget the people behind the mask. UF has a group of students who have been carefully selected to be the mascots who represent the university. The group is made up of 7-10 members. Usually, there is a group of 3-4 girls for Alberta and 4-6 guys for Albert and Ollie and Baseball Al. I love it when Albert dresses up in a tux, he looks so sexy! said junior Laura Stamper.

When entering college students participate in various philanthropies through their clubs and fraternal organizations. These philanthropies events help students become aware of all the people Who need help. Each year students participate in philanthropies such as March of Dimes, the Children's Miracle Network, the North American Food Drive and the Ronald McDonald House. Dance Marathon is the biggest University of Florida philanthropy event held each April in the O'Connell Center. This event consists of over 500 students staying up all night. This event goes on for 26 hours. This event benefited the Children Miracle Network. UF Dance Marathon has raise mores $200,000 each year. In the Greek Community such events as Zeta Tau Alpha's Zeta Line Dance, Sigma Chi's Derby Days and Delta Gamma's Anchor Splash have become a campus tradition getting many students involve With their re- spective events.

What causes this bizarre college student ritual you ask? Well, finals of course. Between celebrating the end of classes and going home for a break, students have at least four days to study before delving into finals week, more commonly known as reading days. I see finals as a way of earning our Christmas presents, said sophomore Shannon Romagnolo. We make up for being bad all semester by cramming lots of studying into about five days. During finals week not only do the libraries on campus extend their hours but the Reitz Union food court stays open all night to provide nourish- ment to hungry, studying, sleep-deprived stu- dents. This service allows students to study on campus and avoid all of the distractions of being at home. Many spend a good deal of their time study- ing in the seemingly never-ending race to make the grade, sifting through textbooks, handouts and old notes. However, some- times procrastination provides a better op- tion. It causes me to find a million and one ways to distract myself, said senior Andrew Holman. I start thinking crazy things like 'I should clean my room. ', 'I need to shave', 1Let's take a shower'. While procrastination often hurts students and their study- ing habits, it can increase adreneline and encourage people to work harder and faster. While finals week is one of the most stressful of the college experience many find themselves happy when they are over.

No humah power has yet been able to conquer the elements of weather and the seasons, but perhaps this is a good thing. Each year, the University of Florida campus is bom- barded With varying season and differing weather pat- terns. From sunshine t0 frost, the campus never has the same flare throughout the year. Each fall, as students flock back to school, campus begins green With life, but soon those green leaves fade to Vibrant shades of orange and brown, giving way to Autumn. But soon enough, the brisk breezes of Autumn fold to the harsh Winds of Winter. Surprising to most, Gainesville Winters are rather frigid in comparison to other places in the state. Few places in Florida freeze and receive as much Florida Snow as Gainesville does. You can always tell When the seasons change because the air becomes c001 and crisp, said senior Jennifer Royal. After Christmas break, the harsh cli- mate of winter is still in full swing. . .but not for long. Once the temperatures be gin to warm up again, the campus comes back to life With new blossoms on every tree and piece of shrubbery and campus Wildlife begins to flurish yet again. As is typical for the state of Florida, the comfortable spring weather yields the blazing heat of Summer. Sum- mer temperatures, though, are not all that bad, consider- ing that beaches and bodies of water to keep cool in are never far away. To match the beauty of campus, Mother Nature pro- vides UF students with a dynamic range of seasons, temperatures and scenery to keep any nature enthusiaist happy. -Gord0n Van Owen t C fJx XTFZ; t xx A if: i, x. e M t J xaN I xxx K FWF fKJJ 41; I ft x? :2 i h F 'l V5 - XX 1: T T Ff r; x f wt r1717 1 L 1T: i; TDEL : x l if Li LLTJK Cfru a r, TTT 1L; .

KIL$F -Homecoming Courtikr-ig- Students around campus looked up as a biplane flew overhead with a banner that said that Phi Delta Theta loved Kappa Alpha Theta. This declaration of affection was just one Of the many things that Interfraternity Council fraternities did to woo Panhellenic Council sororities this year. As homecoming week approached the gentlemen of the vari- ous IFC organizations found themselves pamperin g the sorority of their choice in the race for a partner. They got the ladies professional massages and treated them to limoUsine rides. All the while the sororities were trying to choose the best men for homecoming part- ners. They savored every moment of courting as they judged whom they would select. The Wednesday prior to home- coming week was the hour of judgement as the ladies made their decisions. They showed their love for their group of choice by raiding the fraternityls house, and leaVin g their marks with glitter, shav- ing cream and other paraphernalia. The week following the decisions, the broth- ers relished in all of their hard work as they par- tied the nights away with their homecomin g partners. The culminating event of all the courting to do was the Vanderbilt Homecoming football game. The paired off organizations get seats in blocks so they could spend as much time to- gether as possible. Homecoming seasonjust wouldnt be the same without the spirit and dedication of courting. -Leslie Veiga New Years in November Phi Delta Theta fraternity and Delta Zeta sorority enjoy the festivities of a day glow party.

The events occurred the Friday of homecom- ing, and helped stu- dents and alumni prepare for Growl and the Homecom- ing game against Vanderbilt. Gator Gallop at- tracted approxi- mately 1,400 students and started 30 min- utes before the pa- rade. The gator gallop is a great way to give all the students a Chance to get involved in homecoming activities, said Freshman Anne McKay. For the first time in Gallop his- tory, rollerbladers were able to take part in their own race, Gator Skater. The Gator Skater, pitted 54 HOMECOMING PARADE skaters against each other for their race down University. The Homecoming Parade drew a crowd of 150,000, and tied in With the sesquicen- tennial celebration. Themed, A Celebra- tion Through the Ages, the parade al- lowed the floats to reflect upon the his- tory of the University, While still allowing the floats to express the individuality of their makers. Starting on North South Drive, the pa- rade found its way downtown Via Uni- versity Ave. The pa- rade was lead by President Charles Young, in What was one Of his last official acts as president of the university.

Photo by NAPA i y 2004 TOWER Dedication -Dr. Charles Young bids farewell to the University of Florida- The 2004 edition of the Tower Yearbook is dedicated to the 10th President of the University of Florida, Dr. Charles E. Young. Born in rural Highland, California, Charles Young worked part time in Citrus packing houses and citrus groves. His senior year of high school was divided between academics, football and school plays; he laterjoined the United States Air Force and served in Korea. His time in the service allowed him to focus and he graduated with honors from the University of California Riverside. He finished his graduate studies from UCLA and was almost immediately tapped to j oin the universityis expansion and enhancement program. He was later named Chancellor of the university and held that position for nearly 30 years. He retired in 1997. After the resignation of President J ohn Lombardi, the University of Florida was searchin g for a new leader. Dr. Young agreed to serve as interim president until a new leader was found. After several unsuccessful attempts to find a replacement, UF officials asked Young to stay as the full-time president, a position he accepted in By 2001. Since coming to the university in 1999 as an interim president, Dr. 1 ;Young has seen UF through heavy budget cuts from the state government and attacks on the institution, s affirmative action poli- cies. Dr. Young S extensive background in education at the University California at L i s Angeles made him a great selection as leader of one of the nation, largest and most comprehensive colleges. During his tenure as Chancellor at UCLA, he saw unprecedented growth in budget and enrollment there and helped the university garnish a reputation as one of the nation, 3 best research facilities. University of Florida officials hOped that Dr. Youn g would continue that trend of growth and development in Gainesville. Since his time here, UFhas seen amaj or increase in research funds as well as continued growth in its applicant pool. Dozens of buildin gs have been erected during his tenure, even at a time when the state budget for higher education has been dramatically cut. Despite all of the accomplishments and successes while at UF, Dr. Young never intended on staying at the university for very long and in early 2003 he announced that he would like to formally retire by the fall semester of 2004. So once again, the UP Board of Trustees was on a mission to find areplacement, a j ob they successfully completed in October of 2003. Dr. Young, s tenure at the University of Florida was officially over on J anuary 5, 2004 when Dr. Bernie Machen took over the position. As the University of Florida concluded its 15 0th anniversary celebra- tion, Dr. Charles Young, the 10th president of the University, officially ended his term as president. Because of his accomplishments and devotion to the University of Florida, this 22nd edition of the University of Florida Tower Yearbook is sincerely dedicated to University of Florida President, Dr. Charles E. Young, in the year of his retirement from the university. His great influence and devotion to the university are unmatched?

It's Great To Be... , -Photo by CLAS the world Of academia is a vortex of change. The issues and subjects studied today differ greatly from those studied by those who attended the University of Florida at its founding. The colleges and schools that make up UF have grown, expanded and seen drastic change in the curicculum they teach. This, of course, is a re- sponse to the students desire to re- ceive the best, quality education in the nation. Education is Vital to success, there is no denying that. The University of Florida has provided over 250,000 students with a top-notch education and continues to strive to provide the best in the nation. In the 1980s, UF entered the Asso- ciation of American Universities, a group of the nation's top 64 universi- ties, thus proving UF's prominence at the national level. -Photo by C I 0MC Academics Between the research monies re- -Photo by IFAS warded and the new programs being Offered, UP is always on the verge of modern education and technology, as well as medical research and en- rollment.

The purpose of attending school at the college level is to gain a greater un- derstand of the world. Therefore, it's great to be educated; there is no de- nying that.

Photo by COE is year the Classrooms of Norman Hall were filled with hundreds of students who planned to eventually take on the role of their teachers. The College Of Education, at the University of Florida, was founded in 1905, and is committed to maintaining higher standards in the field of education. The college was ranked in the top 20 programs in the nation. This commitment to excellence has been shown through the college's devotion to certain educational and outreach programs. One such program was the College Reach-Out Program in which low-income and educationally disadvantaged students were given the Opportunity to successfully complete their education at a post-secondary level. University Students offered the disadvantaged pupils tutoring, preparation courses, life skills seminars, and scholarship assistance. We are showing great success by partnering with rural schools, said CROP Director Shirley St. Juste. We have over 170 students involved and an average of 120 volunteers. As a result, we have increased our success by 50 percent. Another program that the College of Education has been involved with was the Pathways to Teaching program. Students are able to gain more insight into their career as early or as late as they wanted to in their college education. My first semester I got into volunteering at a local school. Now I am planning on teaching English as second language, saidKatie Wilkinson 1ED. In addition to helping combat the need for teachers, the program has been a great assets to undergraduate education. -Stephanie Murdoch ii; a Students and teachers mingle and discuss theories of education during an ice cream social at Norman Hall.

Smith, the college's founder and clean, has developed a school with knowledge-based clinical excellence which provides a principled foundation for current efforts and initiatives. This college strives to incorporate the use of modern communication and intervention technologies in its educational experiences. Students have the opportunity to work with col- leagues from all health-care disciplines and to gain diverse clinical experience from a variety of settings. They also have access to community hospitals and clinics, home health care and quaternary care. The most recent addition to the college's clinical practice sites is the Archer Family Health Care, the college's first nurse-managed primary care practice. These practice sites serve as extended classrooms for both undergraduate and graduate students. The UF College of Nursing continues to be recog- nized as one of the best nursing education programs in the Southeast. On average, 75 percent of the college's baccalaureate graduates pursue graduate education within five years of earning the baccalaureate degree. The college also offers opportunities for a Master of Science in Nursing Program, which began on the main campus in 1962. This program focuses on advanced practice with nurse practitioner tracks in adult, family, pediatric, neonatal and psychiatric nursing. Additionally, the doctoral program which leads to a PhD in Nursing Science was established in 1984.

For some, Graduation Day is a day of great excitement and anticipation for the future. For others, it is a day of reminiscence and remorse for the last few years. At most, graduation is a time of reflection; a reflection on a lifetime of accomplishments and successes, with some failures. At any rate, it's great to graduate. Graduation is a great pinnacle of life in which an individual leaves the world of studenthood and finally becomes an adult who will be forced t0 work to make a living, perhaps raise a family and, perhaps saddest of all, give up the life of partying, freedom and educatien. One tradition at the University of Florida, on Graduation Day, is to decorate the top of the graduation hats. One can look down onto the Sea of graduates from the stands of the O'Connell Center and see a myriad of colors, designs and themes, all on top of the mortar boards.

Gator Athletics are not known to back down from rough competition, especially on the field. Each year the various sports face tough competitors major rivals who attempt to out wit, out smart and out play our teams, but rarely does that happen. Even in the toughtest condi- tions players are still able to play respectfully, passionately and Whole heartedly. The historic, competitive nature of our athletic teams is surpassed by few other schools across the nation. While our trophy case boasts an out- standing number of SEC champion- ships, NCAA titles and a few national Championships, the athletes here are constantly striving to improve and further the program. For nearly two decades the Univer- sity of Florida's athletic program has been ranked in the tOp-ten nationally by the Sears Directors Cup. With these honors and recogni- tions, the UP sports programs have a lot to be proud of, but just because they've succeeded in the past doesn't mean they are going to stop trying now. Each year the athletes, coaches, and administrators strive to perform better than the year before. Another strong point of the UP ath- letic programs is their ability to re- cruit the best players from around the globe to play in Gainesville. Many former Gators go on the play on the national levels for professional teams around the COuntry. This reflects the strong players and performers that call themselves Florida Gators. It's great to be competitive, there is no denying that. Competition drives people to play their hardest, achieve goals previously thought impossible, and represent real Gator athleticism. -G0rd0n Van Owen ITS GREAT TO BE... 141 .

After a mid-season departure by Christian Drejer, the Gators went 6-4, and 4-2 in the SEC, to qualify to play in the tournaments. However, a loss to Kentucky in the SEC championship game, and a first round exit in the NCAA cast a shadow over the bumpy 2003 season. However, Florida was ranked number one in the nation at one point in the season. Their strength of schedule was number one in the nation.

After a strong exhibition season, the women's basket- ball team, led by head coach Carolyn Peck, made it to the second round in the NCAA tournament, losing to fourth seeded Baylor. The team finished the season with a 19- 1 1 mark, and 8-6 in the SEC Following a losing record last season, the team expe- rienced the highs of a five game winning streak, as well as the lows of a four game losing streak. Many called the season a roller coaster ride. Coach Peck said, When we first came up with the roller coaster motto, we didn't so much like the valleys, it was the uphill climb that we were wanting to get on. But the valleys make it a lot of fun as you are going back up. Part of the llroller coaster included a loss in the SEC quarter finals against Georgia. Despite the loss, the Gators were still granted a seed in the NCAA tournament to play New Mexico. Sophomore guard Sarah Lowe perhaps summed it up best, There is no real perfect sports season, E and there probably never will be. You just have to go with E the ups and downs and keep persevering.

The gymnasts advanced to their 22nd NCAA Champi- onship, their first since 1998. Head coach RhondaFaehn said, There was not a time in the competition that we felt nervous or felt threatened that we weren't going to make nationals. We did a greatjob starting out on bars, it was an unbelieveable set. We were a little rough on beam, but we still managed to come away with a decent score. Going into the last two events, we knew we just needed to hit and we did that on floor and vault. It was a really good, clam kind of competition for them. We are very excited for nationals. We are still fine tuning the little things, but, without a doubt, we are doing outbest right now. We just need to put it all together at nationals and advance to the Super Six. The team did go on to the Super Six, and placed fifth with a score of 196.8. This was UF's first appearance in the Super Six since 1998.

However, their tournament score was the best in school history and just three strokes behind the SEC. Cham- pionship record. The No. 1 ranked team might have been disappointed at their second place finish, but there was nothing disappointing about their amazing season. Beginning on September 13th, the Gators won first place at the Bank of Tennessee match, hosted by East Tennessee State and finished the regular season with another first place finish at Atlanta Intercollegiate hosted by Georgia State. The team never finished below third and finished first in seven regular season matches, including the Gator Invitational. Team coaches, Buddy Alexander, Josh McCumber and Gio Valiante molded the talented team. Leading the team in individual scores are senior, Camilo Villegas and sophomore, Matt Every. Villegas, from Medellin, Columbia, and Every, from Daytona Beach, FL, both earned two individual metals this season and had season averages of 70.72 and 70.81, respectively. Villegas, three time All-American, finished his senior year With five top-five finishes and was inducted into the UP Hall Of Fame 011 April 19, 2004. Every shows a lot of potential.

Led by head coach Karen Johns, the team ran, pitched, and stole their way to an impressive 39-12 record as of April 20th. The twenty-member team had a SEC mark of 15-9 as of publication, including Close losses to Georgia and Arkan- sas, as well as losing three games to Tennessee in late April. However, sweeping the South Carolina series as well as beating Ole Miss twice allowed the Gators to remain in playoff contention. Although the Gators did not have the most successful season, head coach Johns made clear her Vision for the team. Our goal is, and always Will be, to make it to the College World Series and consistently be among the best in the country. I believe that takes a team family and hard work from a group of individuals that care about each other and are Willing to make the sacrifices to Win a national Championship. -Sarah Busciglio -; 1:.

A wide array of social and multicultural groups provides a unique opportunity in every group.

Alpha Epsilon Pi was founded to pro- vide opportunities for the Jewish college man seeking the best possible college and fraternity experience. They have maintained the integ- rity of their purpose by strengthening ties to the Jewish community and serving as a link be- tween high school and career. Alpha Epsilon Pi's heritage stems from one source: young Jewish men banding together in allegiance. The role of Alpha Epsilon Pi has expanded since its inception in 1913. Initially, the Jewish fraternity served as a brotherhood of young men Who came from similar religious back- grounds and who had experienced the same prejudices against their religious beliefs. A1- pha Epsilon Pi soon broadened its role to include serving as the living quarters for some of its members. The fraternity became a home away from home, providing the same stabiliz- ing and guiding values that students previ- ously gained from their families. Armed with these values, Alpha Epsilon Pi faced changing conditions on the college campus and sur- Vived.

This year alone, Delta Zeta has accomplished so much with the dedication and support of its mem- bers. From involvement and academics to sisterhood and growth, Delta Zeta has stunned the community with its continuous efforts and perseverance. The sorority's first ever recruit- ment in the fall was a huge triumph for both the older sisters and the new members. Ultimately, Delta Zeta reached its capacity of 186 sisters, which seems minimal in comparison to next fall's expectations. The addition of their new home in July will have a huge impact on the current members and the chapter's success in the years to come. Delta Zeta, however, has proved that a hOuse is insignificant for a pros- perous sorority. Delta Zeta has achieved so much during only their second year at the University and all in the absence of a home. Awaiting the completion of their new house, the ladies of Delta Zeta are anxious and excited for the future. This addition to their chapter will make huge Changes among Delta Zeta in general. Although they have accomplished so much this year, it is evident that the years to come will be so much more amazing and re- warding to all the ladies who have dedicated their efforts and love as a Delta Zeta.

In Fall Of 1995, the founding mother, Ilena Camilo had a Vision of a unique alliance that would provide the opportunity for His- panic women at the University of Florida to come together as one with the same ideals, interests and goals. She gathered a group of 17 interested ladies and worked to form what became Gamma Eta Society. They organized their governing body made up of six sisters in October 1995, and in the Spring Semester of 1996, the 12 other interested women were added to the Founding Class of Gamma Eta. The Founding Mothers faced many barriers and struggles from outsiders. People thought Gamma Eta was not going to last. The dream of these sisters was to someday become a rec- ognized sorority and that dream lived on until August 2nd, 1999, when Gamma Eta Society became Gamma Eta Sorority incorporated under the State of Florida.

Emulating chivalric ideals and genteel ehtics, KA translates these timeless philosophies into the mainstream of American colleges and uni- versities. These gentlemanly traits are the hall- mark for men who have chosen our unique lifestyle. It began in 1865, When four men at Washington College in Lexington, Va. decided to bind their friendship by a mutual pledge of faith and loyalty. Robert E. Lee, then presi- dent of the college, exemplified the highly dise tinguished qualities of honor, chivalry and gentility. Although he was never a member of KA, Lee became the inspiration for their phi- losophy. The founders sought to preserve the ideals of the gentleman. They stressed the fact that Kappa Alpha is an Order, deeply rooted in the tenets of high personal achievement. Kappa Alphas are known as the gentlemen 0f the fraternity world. With 130 chapters and 1 14,000 initiated members, Kappa Alpha continues to be a leader among fraternities. Jose Otero These brothers of Kappa Order stand together after their formal.

Photo by Nupes 2003-2004 Kappa Alpha Psi Kappa Alpha Psi was founded on the campus of Indiana University on January 5, 191 1. The Fraternity's fundamental purpose is achievement. Early in this century, African- American students were actively dissuaded from attending college. Formidable obstacles were erected to prevent the few who were enrolled from assimilating into co-curricular campus life. This ostracism characterized In- diana University in 1911, thus causing Elder W. Diggs, Byron K. Armstrong, and eight other black students to form Kappa Alpha Psi Frater- nity, which remains the only Greek letter orga- nization with its 1 st Chapter on the University's campus. The founders sought a formula that would immediately raise the sights of black collegians and stimulate them to accomplish- ments higher than they might have imagined. Fashioning achievement as it's purpose, Kappa Alpha Psi began uniting college men of cul- ture, patriotism and honor in a bond of frater- mty.

The Delta Delta Chapter was formed from an already established local fraternity. Accord- ing to Finis K. Farr, Kappa Sigma Historian, this fraternity, Delta Rho, found a place of its own and reception on equal terms from the beginning. That beginning was in March of 1919. During the first year, Professor James Miller Leake, a Kappa Sigma from Randolph- Macon, became interested in the organization. He remained supportive of the group, and Delta Rho submitted a petition before the Su- preme Executive Committee in October of 1920. Joining Prof. Leake in support of Delta Rho's grafting into Kappa Sigma was Herbert M. Martin, a man who needs no explanation within the ranks of their brotherhood. On April 28th and 29th 1922, thirty-six members of the newly installed Delta Delta Chapter of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity were initiated. On October 20, 2002 the Delta Delta chapter of Kappa return to campus after its demise in 1998. Jose Otero At Zeta Line Dance, Kappa Sigma brothers stand with their Zeta Tau Alpha coaches.

Their goal was to form a group that would provide social and academic support to Latinas and women of all cultures. After a lot of hard work and dedication, the Panhellenic Council at the University of Iowa recognized Sigma Lambda Gamma as a sorority on April 9, 1990. This is the day that Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority recognizes as their Founding date. Today, Sigma Lambda Gamma National 80- rority has Chapters all over the United States varying from New York to Texas and Florida to California. Our members have recognized the need for togetherness and support among women of all cultures at their univesities and colleges and are dedicated to the overall suc- cess of women in the world.

During Sigma Phi Epsilon's 1989 stra- tegic planning process, the Strategic Planning Committee adopted the Vision statement, Build- ing Balanced Leaders for the World's CommunitiesTo ensure that the Fraternity achieved its Vision in undergraduate chap- ters, a committee of Fraternity leaders gathered to develop a new four-year membership devel- opment program. Furthermore, Sigma Phi Epsilon has gone beyond Phi Beta Kappa when chapters demolish the frat boy stereotype through focusing on the development of a sound mind and a sound body. The Balanced Man Program is the best tool to use to reach this goal. The Balanced Man Program is a four year membership development program imple- mented in chapters on a voluntarybasis. Imple- mentation be gem in Fall of 1992. The Balanced Man Program appeals to undergraduates be- cause it concentrates on individual and chap- ter development. In particular, the BMP fo- cuses 0n mentoring, campus and community involvement, and the Ritual. The BMP also focuses on the development of a sound mind and a sound body.

Originally named Tau Phi Delta, they were a combination of Fraternity and 01d literary style society. It did not become known as Sigma Pi until February 11, 1907. In 1984, the Fraternity again Changed its name. At the 37th Biennial Con- vocation, Sigma Pi became an international frater- nity by accepting its first Canadian Chapter. This international status required the Fraternity to become Sigma Pi Fraternity, International. Their colors are lavender, gold and white and the official flower is the lavender orchid. Their symbol is the radiant triangle and their mascot is the bearded Clam. Its motto is taken from Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poem, A Death in the Desert and reads: Progress, man's distinctive mark alone, Not God's, and not the beasts'; God is, they are. Man partly is and wholly hopes to be.

Photo by Teke Tau Kappa Epsilon has been around at the University of Florida since well before the 21st century. However most of the current active brothers of the fraternity were initiated this year. The Spring 2004 inductees brought back the Gamma Theta chapter of Teke that had been dormant for three years. By inducting about thirty members, the fraternity set up the groundwork for the future to make sure that the Chapter stays alive and well. Tau Kappa Epsi- lon is strongly based in the traditions that its founders established on that cold night in January 1899 at Illinois Wesleyan University. The fraternity's colors are Cherry and grey and are displayed by the red carnation, Teke's official flower, and the pearl, Teke's official j ewel. The organization also places great sym- bolic value in the equilateral triangle, to the brothers it stands for the equal development of mind, body and heart. This goes hand in hand With Teke's mission of aiding men in their mental, moral and social development. The Gamma Theta chapter's philanthropy ben- efits the Alzeihmer's Foundation. This is one way to help one of their own as former US. President Ronald Reagan, who has Alzeihrner's, is a Teke. Other distinguished members of the fraternity include Florida At- torney General Bob Butterworth, NFL star and television analyst Terry Bradshaw and the king, Elvis Presley. -Les1ie Veiga Gordon Van Owen stands next to TKE National president.

The Objectives of Theta Chi Fraternity were adopted by the Grand Chapter in 1935. The Objectives present their goals as a Frater- nity, define and explain the relationship of Theta Chi to other organizations, and set forth expectations for undergraduate and alumnus members and chapters. The preamble Clearly states the purpose and mission of the Objec- tives and the importance Which the members in Theta Chi attach to the Objectives. In this latest edition of The Manual, they have changed and updated some terms and definitions found in the Objectives to conform to our organiza- tion and modern usage. The Objectives can be arranged into four groups relating to personal, social, cultural and financial subjects. To make Theta Chi Fraternity a positive force for con- structive and continued development of the highest type of citizenship among its members and to perpetuate the fundamentals of the Fraternity.

While classes and everything that comes along With them are also im- portant, being involved allows stu- dents to foster their interests outside the classroom and have an influence on campus. The Student Activities Center has over 600 registered organizations for students to take join and participate in. With such a large number of groups, there is a wide array of interests to pursue and charities to help. Most organizations have meetings, membership requirements, commu- nity service projects, social events and other activities that keep their mem- bers busy. Officers are also needed to organize the events and maintain the budget. Whether your interests lay in stu- dent affairs, writing, sports, govern- ment, history, languages, or any other topic, it is almost guaranteed that UF ampus involvement is key has an organization for you. The influence of campus organiza- tions is Clearly evident on first look. When students walk through Turlington Plaza or the Reitz Union Colonnade they are inundated with flyers and other advertisements for organizational activities. Clubs can also recruit new members in these places and inform the community about their cause and r or their mis- sion. It's great to be involved... Partici- pating in one of the many organiza- tions on campus provides students with another outlet to express them- selves while helping stimulate iden- tity.

For example, Dr. Ruth was brought to UF in collaboration with Jewish Awareness Month, and Omar A1- Issawi, founder of the Al-Jazeera TV network, was brought to dis- cuss his company's role in the on- going war in Iraq.

The Falun Gong Cultiva- tion Society gives students that opportunity. Falun Gong is an ancient medi- tation practice for purifying the body. It is a way of life in Which the mind and heart are constantly improving. This allows people to live better in today's modern soci- ety. The group hOIds exercise sessions on the Reitz Union North lawn. These activities are free and open to the public. People are Who new to Falun Gong can join the group and ask questions to learn how to do them correctly. However, Falun Gong is not only about working the body. The group holds study sessions to read books and literature about the meditation andeducate people about the principles of truthful- ness, compassion and tolerance that Falun Gong is based on. One of Falun Gong's main goals is to raise awareness about the persecution of thousands in China Who practice Falun Gong. While it is not a religion, the communist government is using many of the methods of religious persecution to stop large groups from gather- ing and practicing Falun Gong. The on-campus group has joined With state and national organizations to spread aware- ness about the injustices being committed in China against the Chinese as well as Americans. They have held demonstrations throughout Gainesville. On the path between the Reitz Union and Weimer Hall is the path to health and tranquility. -Leslie Veiga Falun Gong brings teaching that have lasted the test of time.

CASA was the first Hispanic organization on the UP campus. It started back in 1975 when a group of Cuban students decided to regu- larly get together to have some fun. For nearly a decade, the Cuban- American Student Association stood alone at UF representing the Hispanic community. In the 80's, the Hispanic Student Association was formed to make all Hispanics feel at home. Some of CASA's traditional events are a Lechon held in the fall, political and cultural speakers, and socials with the other His- panic organizations on campus, like paintballing. The largest event for CASA is 'CASA Week' held in the Spring semester. This is an entire week dediciated to promot- ing and showing off the Cuban culture. Activities include, a Dominoe's tournament, speakers, l. 63-. . x , comedians, and much more with the culmination of the week tak- ing place with a party at a local nightclub. CASA is also involved in community service activities like March of Dimes and Ronald McDonald house. CASA's long tradition dates back more than 20 years, and now in 2003, it continues to show off Cuban culture. From dominoes to Lechones, to speakers and movie nights, CASA makes sure that all students in Gainesville get a taste of what it means to be Cuban. Whether you were born in Cuba or you're the offspring of Cubans, it is clear to you what the Cuban culture is all about. And, here in CASA, we try our best to bring that little piece of home to you. -Diana Delgado Exhausted CASA members take a picture after the Club's annual Frisbee tournament.

For the first time in nearly 20 years, a party not backed by either of the two major-Greek councils won the executive ticket. But this Victory would not come without a fight. Pitted against each other was the Innovate Party, donned in or- ange, and in blue the Access Party. Both campaigns promised poten- tial voters a variety of new ser- vices, fiscal responsibility and an open-door policy to Student Gov- ernment, among others. Party supporters rallied throughout campus to showcase their party's platform and candidates.After heated debates, fierce campaign efforts and flyers and t-shirts galore, the first set of elections resulted in the highest voter turnout in UP history as well as a run-off election for one Senate seat and the entire executive ticket. Despite a slight lead in the first election, the Greek-sponsored In- novate Party was not able to gar- nish as many votes in the second election and fell to the Access Party. Based on the platform of Ac- cess for All Students, Access pushed the fourth African Ameri- can student body president into office. The voter turnout record was once again shattered as an un- precedented number of voters went to the polls in the run-off election. -Gordon Van Owen At the College Republicans debate spectators wait for the candidates.

The Fighting Gator Marching Band is Florida,s first marching band. The Pride of the Sunshine State performs during half-time at football games. However, each game requires preparation time. The band practices for five to seven hours a week in the late afternoon. Each week they put together a new formation and theme to gether for the upcoming game. One week, the band performed country west- ern songs and created, among other shapes, a cowboy With a lasso. While it is a common miscon- ception that music majors com- prise most of the band, only 10 percent of the band is made up of music majors. Students from all majors are part of the Pride of the Sunshine State. All the members i. m g in the marching band participate in all band activities. Santa Fe Community College students are also allowed to dual enroll and be a part of the band. There are perks to being a part of the Fighting Gator Marching Band. The members attend all of the home football games as well as two to three away games each year. The band also covers all of their expenses. Members of the marching band are encouraged to j Oin in order to gain a more enriching college ex- perience and to feel a sense of friendship and community in such a large university. -Leslie Veiga The Pride of the Sunshinels halftime show was always looked forward to by the fans.

It serves as a social and mentoring group, and although there it is an emphasis on equality for those of a minority sexuality. All students at the Uni- versity of Florida are welcome. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans- sexual, transgendered, straight, and questioning all feel at home in this organization. The Pride Student Union teaches and encourages their members to be themselves. They seek to promote education, awareness, and the elimination of discrimination and prejudice particularly in the university com- munity. The group decides a f0- rum for discussing issues of sexu- ality tand gender rolesl and helps both students and non-students alike by providing a comfortable social environment in which to interact. Some pride events are Pride Awareness Month, the Florida Intercollegiate Pride Con- ference and film festivals. Peri- odically the organization has guest speakers, monthly socials, and other activities that promote education and acceptance. PSUis mentoring pro- gram provides students of all sexual identities to come together and discuss issues such as same- sex marraiges . -Rachel Gomez Pride members are always trying to spread awareness of their culture through tabling and pamphlets.

In the early 1900s the year- book was known as the Semi- nole. This preceded the found- ing of CO-educational FSU, at that time known as the Florida State College for Women. The book continued to be published under that title until 1973, when both the yearbook and the school newspaper went off campus. The school newspaper, the A1- ligator, continued to be published as an independent paper. How- ever, the Seminole ceased to be published because of lack of fund- ing. There was no yearbook on campus for ten years, until the first publishing of the Tower. The yearbook was named the Tower in recognition of the Century Tower, built in 1953. The Century Tower was constructed to commemorate 100 years since the founding of the University. Tower has steadly been grow- ing in both the size of the book, events covered in the pages, and sales to the students of the Uni- versity since its first publication. The goal of the staff was to sell 1,000 copies of the 2004 publica- tion. Using various marketing strategies, including card distri- bution, ads in the Alligator, and deals with other institutions on campus, the staff strove to get the word out about the book. Led by a talented staff, they worked hard throughout the year to produce a quality book that every student of the University of Florida could enjoy. -Sarah Busciglio Adviser John Cantlon, reviews the staff's spreads before submission to the plant.

Considering the overall size of the Gainesville community, it is relatively small in comparison with the Univer- sity of Florida. Despite its small stature, the Gainesville community provides and overwhelming amount of support, time and resources to the university in which all students, faculty and administration are truly greatful for. Argnably, this support is unmatched anywhere else in the state. Of course, there are Gator sup- porters outside of the Gainesville area. These include alumni, friends and family of the university Who are also willing to donate their time, money and energy into making UF one of the nation's powerhouse uni- versities. The 90,000 plus fans that cram into -Ph0to by Jose Otero -Pboto by lose Otero Advertisements n of the most important Ben Hill Griffen Stadium every home game shows this overwhelming sup- port from all over the state and na- tion. Anyone Who has ever been a stu- dent will tell you, it's great to be supported. Whether by friends, fam- ily or loved ones, support is always welcome. Money, food, transporta- tion and study materials are just some of the ways students get support from those around them. Students though, are often more than willing to repay their support- ers in one way or another. Greek organizations regularly hold Charity events to help support non-profit organizations and philanthropies. Thousands of students volunteer countless community service hours each semester. Of course, perhaps the ultimate reward to parents is graduation. -Gord0n Van Owen lTiS GREAT TO BE... 287 l r M249 : . .

Photo by Diana Delgado Guagabera Guateque President J. Bernard Machen recieves key to City of Coral Gables, Florida A guayabem is a type of shirt designed by guajiros tfarmersi to wear to special events like a down- home guateque, a big party. On May 15th, 2004, the Association of Hispanic Alumni held their First Annual Guayabem Guateque at the Village Of Merrick Park Mall in Coral Gables, Florida. Putting both of these together meant a party hosting over 300 alumni and their significant others, cur- rent students and members of the University's administration. The special guest of the evening was the University of Florida's Presi- dent Bernie Machen. Amidst a city of die-hard Miami Hurricane fans, the Gators chanted UF's proud cheers. Presi- dent Machen was also honored with the Key to the City of Coral Gables presented to him by Mayor Don Slesnick. The proceeds of the event went to the Institute of His- panic-Latino Cultures, endear- ingly known to past and present students, as La Casita, which celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2004. Itwas anight of dancing, good food, dominoes and reunions among friends. Alumni gathered to relive memories of the good old days. It was also a time for the past to meet the future as current stu- dents met former students who paved the way for Hispanic stu- dents and Hispanic organiza- tions at the University of Florida. -Diana Delgado KEY TO CORAL GABLES, FLORIDA 357 Cor 11ege0fL1beral 269 , Bai CourtnAi? 1224111 , , Bausquet,Kelly 1381 Bittinger, Shannon 217 1881111Deb0rah 107,285 1 ..

Photo by 1056 Otero The 2003-2004 academic year has led us down a long and winding road of changes, excitement and lots of orange and blue. We saw a nation-wide search for Charles Young's replacement that culminated in the installation of former University of Utah President Bernie Machen as our eleventh president. Spring semester showed us one Of the most highly contested Student Government elections in years as Access, Inno- vate and Keg tried to get us to pull a lever for their party. Record numbers of students voted not only in the general election but in the run-Off as well. The Gator football team won the Georgia game, almost beat Miami and lost questionably to Florida State. Either way, we all did the Gator Chomp and chanted Orange and Blue at each other across Ben Hill won't page 375l 'y j 'E NW... ;,., A M b At a banquet these students smile for the camera enjoying their last me- ments as stu- dents at the Uni- versity of Florida.

The Class of 2004 bid a final farewell to us and to being undergraduates in these brick covered hallowed halls, while freshmen found their stride in the swamp.
