Spring is in the air and that means an unpleasant smell. An 8-foot-tall rain forest plant that’s known as a “corpse flower”because it smells like rotting flesh is getting ready to bloom. The Columbus Dispatch reports greenhouse coordinator Joan Leonard has been growing the flowers since 2001,and this would be the first of five to bloom.Leonard says smelling the Amorphophallus titanium for the first time will be the culmination of a decade of work.But it will be a quick experience because the flower withers after a day or two.

Vote fails to impeach Kilbride
More than 200 guests enjoyed some fine wine, fancy cuisine and a night out at the Rosen College of Hospitality Management on Saturday at the second annual Cabaret & Cabernet at Rosen campus. The student-run event is an opportunity for hands-on experience and a chance to earn money for scholarships within the Rosen College. Professor Suzan Bunn’s Event Management class has been organizing and planning the event since January. The students were grouped into six teams with different job descriptions to
organize the event. “I got to do something practical and plan a fun event,” said senior Corrie Shaw. “We came up with new ideas to make this year’s event flow better than last year’s.” With the use of social networking, the teams were able to get the word out and build excitement. “This year we used Facebook, Twitter and a blog about the event to give the community a behind-thescenes tour. We made use of people’s desire to know about the event to spread the word and build anticipation,” said Amanda Katsch, the social connection for the class.
Amanda Jade Gonzalez, another student from the Event Management class, partnered with students from the Foodservice and Lodging Management Department to create a three-course menu for the event. Led by Chef Jay Judy and Chef Cesar Rivera Cruzado, the culinary students cooked exquisite dishes, including thai style vegetable summer rolls with chili-lime dipping sauce, chevre and fresh herb stuffed mushrooms, braised spring lamb sliders, grilled shrimp with avocadoorange salad and grilled

With a vote count of 7-23, the 43rd senate body of UCF’s Student Government Association decided that the impeachment affidavit filed against President Michael Kilbride did not have merit. “I was relieved,” Kilbride said “A lot of it was based purely on biased media accounts and no real public records or information that proved the points. When you read it, no requests were put in for records. It was all taken from a blog.” The impeachment affidavit was filed against Kilbride on April 6. The Future requested a copy of the document but has not received a response from SGA. The affidavit’s protection means that an officially presented reason has yet to be heard. Kilbride said that the impeachment drew from a series of stories from KnightNews.com, a campus blog, that called into question the president’s purchase of T-shirts for his cabinet. Kevin Wolkenfeld, the editor-inchief of KnightNews, said in an email statement: “KnightNews.com stands by its reporting on SGA spending and puts a great deal of emphasis on presenting fair and balanced news by backing our work

Motive not known behind shootings A toddler was the only person found alive when officers responded to the home Friday evening. According to a police report, the little girl said: “Daddy had a big gun.” Investigators believe 25year-old Christopher Covington shot 22-year-old Stephanie Carrier and 48year-old Robin Carrier, then turned the gun on himself. All three had gunshot wounds to their heads. Police are still trying to determine the motive. Covington had previously been charged with aggravated domestic battery on a pregnant woman after witnesses reported seeing him hit Stephanie Carrier in a Kmart lot.

TILL DEATH PARTS Former metal star Bobby Koelble moves on to jazz TIM FREED Contributing Writer
As you take the steps down into the belly of Tanqueray’s on Wednesday nights, an underground bar in Downtown Orlando, you come across a smoky jazz haven adorned with Christmas lights and a wall of mirrors that makes the cramped venue appear twice as big. Cast in a shroud of blue and red lighting, the Absinthe Trio, a local jazz fusion band, cruises through complex compositions that nod your head for you. As spectators linger between the tables to get a closer look, guitarist Bobby Koelble throws his long, dark dreadlocks over his shoulder and gracefully executes catchy transitions on his fret board. If you asked Koelble where he’d be the next day, the answer might surprise you. Koelble spends Thursday afternoons at UCF as an adjunct jazz guitar teacher. If asked where he was in 1995, you’d get a very different answer; 16 years ago, he was touring the world playing with the legendary metal band, Death. A musician who wears many hats, the 42-year-old jazz guitar adjunct’s musical pursuits have led him through a career rich and diverse. With a background composed of giving private lessons, teaching jazz students at universities, managing his own musical projects, freelance bands and touring all over the world, Koelble has clearly dedicated his life to music. “I’m just fascinated by music,” said Koelble with a tone as calm and mellow as the jazz he plays.
From Motorhead to Miles Davis Born in Newark, N.J., Koelble moved to the Central Florida area at the age of three and began his musical journey with the organ at the age of seven. At age 13, Koelble became interested in guitar after listening to hard rock bands such as Van Halen and AC/DC. Koelble then went on to play metal, influenced by bands such as Judas Priest, Motorhead and Iron Maiden. In the midst of Koelble’s growing interest in metal music during high school, he started listening to jazz rock fusion, which combined jazz harmonies with a rock guitar sound. It wasn’t until he attended Berklee College of Music after high school that he discovered and fell in love with traditional jazz, which he has been playing ever since. “Jazz is something that I really love and have developed a strong affinity for, but it’s the same with metal,” Koelble said. “The fact that I happen to love heavy metal and that fact that I happen to love jazz just

brought me both to the band Death and the UCF Jazz Studies program.”
Death and moving on Arguably the most noteworthy point in Koelble’s career was the time he spent from 1994 to 1996 playing with Death, a metal act considered to be one of the very first bands to be labeled as death metal, a subgenre characterized by deep growling vocals, heavily distorted guitars and fast drum parts. Fronted by guitarist/vocalist Chuck Schuldiner, who is revered by many as “The Father of Death Metal,” the four-piece metal band from Orlando grew rapidly in popularity within the metal world due to their own unique sound. During the time he was with Death, Koelble recorded on “Symbolic” and traveled with the band all over the United States, Europe, Canada and Japan to support the record. Shortly after the band came back from the road however, Schuldiner disbanded Death (for the time being) to work on his other band, Control Denied. Though his time with Death was cut short due to the band disbanding, Koelble stated that he felt very fortunate to be part of the band’s history. “It was one of those cases that because we had a mutual friend, the position came to me,” Koelble said. “It was very much a privilege to be there; I didn’t take it lightly it all. I knew that there were a thou-

Turning to the Trio In addition to his vast knowledge and experience with metal music, Koelble — who jokingly claims to have “musical A.D.D.” — experiments with other genres including jazz, metal, funk, reggae, electronic and Brazilian music. In addition to his band The Absinthe Trio, Koelble has also had a project for the past 10 years called Junkie Rush, which has a world music/rock fusion sound. With Koelble on guitar and vocals, the band has released four albums and has toured extensively throughout Florida and on the East Coast. Junior music performance major Ben Tiptonford, who studies jazz guitar under Koelble, started taking guitar seriously when he heard Death’s “Symbolic” album right after high school and was eager to take classes with the former Death guitarist. “Bobby is the man, one of the best teachers I’ve ever had,” said Tiptonford, who has been playing the guitar for about 12 years. “He’s definitely one of the greatest guitarists I’ve ever sat in a room with.” In a small, soundproof practice room at the UCF Performing Arts Building, Koelble begins a master class with two of his jazz guitar students. The brightly-lit room is scattered with music stands and instrument cases and the walls are adorned with black-and-white photographs of Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis. With long dreadlocks, tribal rosewood earrings and portraits of John Coltrane and other legendary jazz musicians tattooed across his arms, Koelble picks up his red, semi-hollow Gibson guitar and snaps his fingers at a medium tempo ...

SAGA event has live shows for first time FROM A1 University of Florida and P.K. Yonge Developmental Research School to present their topics of research. “The Colloquium not only commemorates the hard work of many students at UCF who have a passion to write in Spanish but also helps students share ideas and learn,” said Jacob McLaughlin, one of the five SAGA students responsible for directing and organizing the event. According to McLaughlin, SAGA began working on this specific event in 2010 because of its desire to include new additions that made students more engaged to participate and attend. For the first time since the colloquium started 11 years ago, SAGA included two theatrical performances by students in Spanish. The colloquium featured a casual creative writing workshop where Cofer revised the work of UCF students and personally made comments on their paper. During the workshop, Cofer encouraged the writers in the audience to never stop writing, always keep on experimenting with words and ideas and abstain from using common clichés. McLaughlin said the workshop was a highly anticipated event because it provided students the opportunity to have written works read by a wellknown author. Luis Gutierrez, senior Spanish major, was one of the three students who got his work revised by Cofer. He found the workshop beneficial because hearing new ideas from professional writers can only make the story more appealing to the author and the read-
ers. “The event today helped me realize how language can be used to convey different meanings in my writing,” Gutierrez said. “The fact that the audience during the workshop and Dr. Cofer were active in my revisions helped me understand the importance and beauty of Spanish.” Elizabeth Espinosa, graduate student and one of the coordinators, had been excited about the event ever since Cofer agreed to come to the event. Espinosa believes the event has been successful in the past because it offers
a learning experience that it isn’t confined to a classroom, while providing the chance to interact with students, faculty and authors about the common interest of Spanish literature. “There isn’t a program at UCF that celebrates literature in the way this event does,” Espinosa said. “By organizing the event we are showing our appreciation for the Latin culture at UCF, and at the same time the colloquium allows students to express themselves in so many creative ways.” This year Cofer was chosen as the guest speaker because her books, such as Silent Dancing, are on
the reading list for graduate and undergraduate students trying to pursue a master’s degree in Spanish or Latin America studies. Cofer said she was thankful for having the opportunity to be the guest speaker at the event. She advised students on how to begin thinking like professional writers. “I leave UCF happy because I’ve learned more than I’ve taught,” she said. “I would need a year, not an hour, to talk about creative writing. Art is not supposed to be easy. Practice constantly for positive results and think of it as a work in progress. The results will come.”

Come dine with me: Sinatra covers abound FROM A1 Argentinian style flank steak with chimichurri sauce. To make Cabaret & Cabernet an extraordinary event, students created a fun and detail-oriented atmosphere. When the guests checked in, they were welcomed with a program and a wine glass holder adorned with Mickey Mouse ears on the neck strap. “One of my favorite parts of the evening was getting the wine necklace”, said Debbie Jones, a return patron from last year’s event. She said that this year’s event was just as entertaining as last year’s. The event kicked off in the Rosen auditorium with an introduction and can-can performance by the Columbus Center Dance Academy. Jumping off the stage, the can-can dancers invited the crowd to follow them to the courtyard where patrons would experience their first course of food and wine. Five food items were paired with a large selection of wine types including cabernet sauvignon and merlot from South Africa, Greece and Italy. After thirty minutes of first-rate food and wine, patrons could choose between three acts to enjoy. The Three Pillars Café, the students’ cafeteria, was transformed into an intimate speakeasy where Dave Worker and Kristina Simmons sang tunes penned by Ol’ Blue Eyes himself: Frank Sinatra. The Disney Dining Room featured dueling pianists from Baby Grand’s Dueling Piano Bar in Down-
town Orlando. The third act, located in the Anheuser- Busch Beer and Wine Lab, showcased Legacy, a four-piece band of experienced Disney performers including hospitality professor Ron Logan. “We believe in doing positive things and having fun at the same time,” Logan said. “A large part of life is about what you can do for other people.” Legacy, Logan’s band, donated their time, energy and talent. The band had never played together for an event and began rehearsal at noon the day of the event. Their on-stage chemistry entranced the crowd. “One of my favorite acts of the evening was the band in the wine lab,” said Jeanne Blair, another return patrons from last year. After entertainment, the courtyard was open with a new round of food and wine for everyone to enjoy. Guests could decide what order and which performances they wanted to see them in. Seasons 52 donated a dessert presentation in the courtyard. Guests enjoyed a dark chocolate raspberry truffle tart with hazelnut chocolate crust was paired with champagne and coffee. The final act was cabaret on the balcony by Simmons. Guests went home with a Cabaret & Cabernet souvenir wine stopper. “I thought this year there was a better selection of wine; however I wish there were more food stations or more time allowed for the food portion of the evening,” said attendee Dennis Dulniak.

Plan makes studying easier for visual learners FROM A1 not online. Tom Bland, CEO of AquaFiber Technologies, said that this is a trend that we can expect more of, because technology has become such a huge part of our world. Glenn’s business proposal audience focuses on the students, who are visual learners. However, many of the learning materials stu-
dents use lack visual representation. His company’s goal is to provide the students with visual study materials with the hopes of increasing retention rates and providing an overall more effective study experience. Glenn and the other competitors were each given a 15-minute time limit to present their company, followed by a 10-minute questionand-answer session with the
To comment on this story, see: www.UCFNews.com judges. During his presentation, Glenn said that while standing in line at Panera Bread you probably won’t see someone pull out a textbook to read a paragraph quickly, but almost every person in line will be using his or her cell phone. One facet of Better Ways
to Study was a text messaging system that would send SMS messages to subscribers with facts from their class’ topic. The idea is that receiving five to ten texts a day a few weeks leading up to the exam would shorten the number of hours spent cramming for a test to 45minute review sessions since you’ve been getting information periodically throughout the weeks prior. In the reception follow-
ing the presentations, Cameron Ford, UCF’s Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation’s founding director, pointed out just how close this year’s competition was indicating the amount of time it took the judges to reach a decision. Ford said that all of the proposals would make great companies and the students behind them had bright futures ahead of them, but when it was all said and done, someone had to be picked as the winner. “We look at the investment, risk and return for all these proposals and when it was all said and done we felt that Ace’s proposal was the best one,” Bland said. Joey Verderber, one of Glenn’s programmers and a UCF computer engineering major, said what made Glenn’s proposal stand out was that it introduced a new idea.
“People have been learning forever, since before technology, but since all of this new technology has been created nothing has been done to update how we learn,” Verderber said. “Better Ways to Study does just that, combining the classroom and technology into one effective mix.” Verderber was amazed by how things turned out. “I was really surprised Oh My Groceries ended up in third,” Verderber said. “When we were waiting for the results, I was certain it would come down between Ace’s and them.” This year’s competition was the eighth year and its most successful in the number of entries. “Just do it, whether you have doubts about it or not just do it, the reason I’ve been able to have this success is because I’ve been doing it for three years now,” Glenn said.

MBA program seat auctioned off for $27K RYAN HOPE Contributing Writer
Hundreds of people gathered into the Orlando Marriott Convention Center for a silent auction Friday night, with all proceeds going to the Boys & Girls Club. UCF and their business program teamed up with the Boys & Girls Club by donating an automatic seat in their executive master’s in business administration program as part of the auction. The highest bidder for the seat, Herb Gingold, won the spot with a bid of more than $27,000. “It was a bargain,” Gingold said. Biding and winning this seat means that Gingold wont have to wait for acceptance into the program or for tuition reimbursement from the company he works for. Those in the program
can earn their degree in 20 months, with classes on Fridays and Saturdays. According to the program’s website, many Central Florida businesses offer tuition reimbursement for their employees who enter the program. Along with teaching executive business skills, the program also offers a week long international residency so the students can learn how business works internationally. The program emphasizes critical thinking, decision making and leadership, which are the core values of the entire program. Jana Breburdova, the assistant director of marketing for the UCF MBA program, manned UCF’s booth during the event handing out brochures and taking bids for the seat. “We feel like it’s the most universally fit program for us and we see
students from all kinds of backgrounds that benefit from it,” Breburdova said. She was very optimistic about the the program’s future with the Boys & Girls Club. “I would not be surprised if we were to come back next year” Breburdova said. Breburdova said there are many differences between the normal program and the MBA program. “We take everything for the executive when it means getting into the program,” she said. Andrea Wright, a graduate student from UCF, was at the event to show her support for the Boys & Girls Club. “I was excited to come to this event to support the Boys & Girls Club because I have worked with children before and its just a great feeling,” Wright said. “I think it’s a neat opportu-
Sen. wants statute reform FROM A1 up with public records and information from SGA sources.” Kilbride said that, regardless of how the sentence review went, he was ready to prove his innocence and had documents to support. “I’m glad that it ended this way, so that we’re not ending on a sour note because I think it’s been a great year for student government and I’ve been so proud to serve as student body president,” he said. Sen. Tyler Rits was one of the seven who voted for further investigation of the charges. “I felt that they needed at least to be investigated a little bit even though they are, in my opinion, very minuscule charges that would ultimately end in
nothing,” Rits said. “They at least warrant an investigation because a student did come up with a concern and that’s a student’s right and it’s our job as senate to at least investigate things.” Something Kilbride and other senators acknowledged after the meeting concluded was that the impeachment statutes needed work. “The biggest thing is there is an inconsistency in the statute as to what exactly we are considering in the senate meeting in which we consider the impeachment hearing,” said Sen. Nicholas Simons. “It’s not clear whether or not we’re supposed to debate regarding the merits of the affidavit itself, whether or not it falls under the jurisdiction of impeachable offense [or]
whether it or not it warrants further investigation.” According to section C of Chapter 703.3 of Title VII: The Impeachment and Removal Statutes, “The Senate will then deliberate on the merits of the Affidavit(s) as being within the jurisdiction of an impeachable offense.” Part one of the section states that “Senators may not debate on the validity or plausibility of the Affidavit(s), nor may an additional evidence be presented or discussed.” “I think what you saw tonight, the impeachment statutes do need a little bit of cleaning up,” Kilbride said. Sen. Michael Moesch said that if someone wanted to resign before a vote to impeach goes through that it’s possible.

nity and I would have bid on it if I had the funds. It’s just amazing you can buy something that not only betters yourself but goes toward a worthy charity.” Gingold wants to start the program in a year. “I am an alumni of UCF so it will be exciting to be a student again,” Gingold said. Gingold is a technical sales representative from
Texas Instruments and said this will benefit his career. “I am fortunate enough to be able to experience this,” Gingold said. “In my current profession I am hoping to use this knowledge to improve my management skills.” He said he doesn’t want his time as an Executive MBA student to be his last at UCF.
“I hope to one day to return to UCF as a teacher,” Gingold said. Even though it was a hefty sum, he didn’t mind putting that money towards a worthy cause. “These kids deserve our support and its our responsibility to help them out,” Gingold said. “It’s tough to muster that kind of cash but the benefit of it makes it all worth it.”

Former senator, famous authors attend festival FROM A1 authors on my shirt. I’m a book nerd and an addict,” Benson said. Paetro is best known for the Women’s Murder Club series she co-writes with James Patterson, which she said she hopes the series lasts until the end of time. After writing numerous novels, she said she plans on writing a memoir only when her husband says it’s OK. “I have a lot of stories, and they’re not all about books,” Paetro said. The author wrote an article about one of these stories called Nude Cruise. At the end of what she calls her “skinny cow years,” Paetro boarded a cruise with more than 100 naked people. Right before the cruise, she gave Patterson a sample of her writing. This got her hired and she is currently working with Patterson on a young adult series called Filthy Rich. Paetro has also written books on how to succeed in

Godfrey leads offense in 27-6 spring game win ERIKA ESOLA Sports Editor
As a jittery true freshman a few months removed from high school, Jeff Godfrey, in his first spring game, was competing with Rob Calabrese for the Knights’ starting quarterback job. Things are different this year. It was made evident Saturday that Godfrey doesn’t have those jitters any more. Godfrey’s spring performance solidified his role as UCF’s franchise quarterback for the next three years, as if it wasn’t already clear. In the 27-6 offensive team’s victory over the defensive team, the sophomore’s highlight of the day was a 38-yard touchdown scamper where the shifty signalcaller was nearly untouched by the defenders. “He’s showing more poise in the pocket and he’s reading coverage better and obviously he can take a bad play and make a good play out of it,” said head coach George O’Leary. “He’s improved his poise in the pocket and his decision making throwing the ball.” Godfrey completed 18 of 23 passes for 163 yards and rushed for 59 yards. Godfrey’s cousin Ray Shipman, an ex-basketball player who transferred from Florida, stood out at the linebacker position. Shipman, who is expected to start at outside linebacker, stood out to O’Leary after recording five tackles with two for losses. “I’m making strides and improving every day,” Shipman said. “Going into the spring I knew I was going to be kind of rusty and have some bad practices, but I didn’t want to ever play backward.”

On Sunday, the Knights baseball team lost their second game of the three-game series against ECU 5-3. The Knights (22-14, 4-8) dropped to an early 5-0 hole and never overcame the deficit. “I think everybody is frustrated,” said Knights head coach Terry Rooney. “We are not where we want to be in this conference. We have high expectations. This season is long, we have to just go out there and keep competing.” After making 13-straight relief appearances, Nick Cicio made his first start for the Knights this season. Cicio struggled early in the game giving up three runs in the third inning and five overall. The southpaw pitched 2.1 innings, struck out three and allowed five runs on seven hits. Matt Collins came into relieve Cicio, only pitching 2/3 innings.
For more sports: www.UCFNews.com Twitter: @CFFsports Danny Winkler pitched the rest of the game and made a strong case to get back into the weekend pitching rotation. Winkler pitched five scoreless innings, struck out six, and allowed four hits. “There is a good chance Winkler could be in the weekend rotation,” Rooney said. ECU’s (24-12, 6-6) starting pitcher Kevin Brandt pitched a strong game for the win. The southpaw tossed eight innings, struck out five, and allowed three runs on eight hits. At one point in the game, Brandt retired 10 consecutive UCF batters. The Knights offense was out-hit by the Pirates 11-9. Darnell Sweeney and D.J. Hicks accounted for six of those hits. Sweeney finished the day 3-for-4 with an RBI, and scored two runs. Hicks went 3-for-5 and knocked in an RBI.

Brian Adkins is now 5-2.It’s the first time since 2005 that at least two Knights have posted at least five wins in the same season.Ben Lively also has five wins.
After the offense scored two early runs, the team didn’t post another run until the seventh inning, when Hicks knocked in Sweeney, making the game 5-3. The run was the last the team would score. The Knights had never won at ECU’s Clark-LeClair Stadium before Saturday when Brian Adkins’ seven innings of two-run ball and Jonathan Griffin’s solo shot
powered the Knights to a 3-2 victory over the Pirates. Adkins matched his career-high innings pitched and improved to 5-2 on the season. It’s the first time since 2005 that at least two Knights have posted five or more wins in the same season (the other being Ben Lively, 5-1). Rogers entered the game in the eighth after Adkins gave up a lead-off single and
struck out three batters in two innings. The score remained tied until the fourth inning when Griffin smashed his ninth home run of the season over the left field wall. Griffin, who had the opportunity to homer in five-straight games on Friday fell short. The single that Adkins gave up to start the eighth inning came around to score but fellow left-hander Rogers came in, gave up three singles, struck out one and got the Knights out of a bases-loaded jam. Rogers went on to face only three batters in the bottom of the ninth and earn his sixth save of the season. The Knights lost their first game of the three-game series Friday night. The Knights were down early in the game and could never erase an early 10-1 deficit, losing 12-6. Knights starting pitcher Ben Lively had his shortest

Bradford seeks second chance against FAU JESSICA GILLESPIE Baseball beat writer
The last time the Knights faced in-state opponents FAU and UF this season, Chase Bradford started on the mound against both the Owls and the Gators. Even though Bradford didn’t get a decision in either game, head coach Terry Rooney said that Bradford gave his team a chance to win. While the Knights came away with a victory in Gainesville, UCF couldn’t come away with one in Boca Raton last week. Bradford will likely seek revenge against the Owls on Tuesday, when UCF has a chance to split the home-and-home series. On Wednesday, the Knights will go for the sweep of No. 4 Florida in Orlando.

at FAU, Rooney said he thought Bradford had given UCF a chance to win. The senior pitched two innings against the Gators and gave up two runs in four innings pitched against the Owls. Bradford, who has earned a weekday starting role, will likely start this week. After not starting against East Carolina, Ray Hanson and Matt Collins are possible starters. The two started the season in the weekend rotation. In Hanson’s last start, he got only two outs in the first inning and gave up a three-run home run before he was pulled. Hanson has a 3.35 ERA and a 21 record.
COURTESY SIDE LINE SPORTS
The Knights will look to split their home-and-home series against FAU and complete the sweep against the Gators on Tuesday and Wednesday in Orlando.
Collins started the season in the weekend rotation but a nagging arm injury has kept him from the mound. The righty has pitched in relief, including a scoreless inning against Florida, pitching 1-1/3 innings at FAU and 2/3 innings against ECU .
What to watch for — Pitching by commit-
tee. It took seven different pitchers for the Knights to beat the Gators. Bradford and Nick Cicio each pitched two innings while Bryan Brown, Collins, Danny Winkler, D.J. Hicks and Ronnie Richardson each pitched an inning. — Griffin. The first baseman has been consistently knocking them out of the park and has home-
red against FAU but not UF. He also has been batting cleanup lately. “He’s a great middle-ofthe-lineup hitter for us, there’s no question,” Rooney said. “He’s got a lot of raw power.” Griffin leads the Knights with nine home runs. — FAU’s Jake Meiers, who started last week and could start again on Tuesday. — UF’s Alex Panteliodis, who started against
the Knights earlier in the season, and Anthony DeSclafani, the reliever who was handed the loss. DeSclafani and Panteliodis will likely see time on the mound against the Knights and look for revenge.
Notes — The Knights are now more than halfway through the season. — UCF has won only one of its six home games in the month of April and the Knights are 3-2 in midweek home games this season. — The only runs had before Sweeney’s gamewinning hit in the ninth were off of solo home runs from both Breen and Erik Hempe. — When UF played FAU, the Gators routed the Owls 13-2. — The Owls will be looking for their longest winning streak of the season with a win against the Knights on Tuesday.

Davis, Shipman Dinney, Fee give hair care shine on defense AMY FOIST
Softball beat writer
FROM A11 Shipman also nearly had an interception off backup quarterback Blake Bortles, but dropped it. “I thought that Shipman showed up a lot,” O’Leary said. “I’ll have to look over tape. The eye in the sky doesn’t lie.” O’Leary had questioned his players on defense earlier in the spring on whether any leaders would step up during the spring to replace Bruce Miller. Miller’s replacement at defensive end, Troy Davis, did just that. Davis, a junior, registered five sacks and six tackles and proved to O’Leary and defensive coordinator John Skladany that he is
ready to take on the role. “He can make plays, he’s got speed off the edge,” O’Leary said. “What you saw today is what’s he’s been doing for most of the spring and I’ve been very pleased with that.” Coming off the most successful season in program history, Davis and Godfrey have lofty goals this year of running the table to become a BCSbuster program among the likes of TCU and Boise State. “We have that [BCSbuster] belief,” Godfrey said. “We had it last year, you see, when we went to the bowl game and won our first bowl game. I think we got it this year, we just need to come together as a team.”
Knights go 1-2 against ECU FROM A11 outing of the season and his young career, pitching only two innings. Lively gave up eight runs on five hits, and only struck out one. Bryan Brown relieved Lively in the third inning. Brown pitched 4-2/3 innings, giving up three runs, on seven hits, and struck out three. The Knights offense showed life in the top of the seventh inning. The team
scored three two-out runs on four hits. Beau Taylor, in his first-career game batting from the No. 9 spot, drove in two runners with a double. Taylor scored off of Darnell Sweeney’s single. Taylor and Sweeney both had solid nights at the plate. Taylor was 2-for-3 in the game, hitting two doubles, knocking in three RBIs, and scoring two runs. Sweeney had two hits and drove in two RBIs.
Knights softball players Lacey Dinney and Patrice Fee both donated 10.5 inches of their hair to Locks of Love at the Relay for Life event April 1. Locks of Love, a charitable organization dedicated to donating hair to children suffering from long-term medical hair loss, set up a stage at Relay for Life to donate their hair onstage. Dinney, who had short hair growing up, had been growing out her hair since her freshman year of college. “I was kind of attached to my hair, I loved playing with a big, long braid,” Dinney said. Fee, who always had long hair, said having shorter hair is something completely new to her. “I’ve always had long hair, only used to get it trimmed,” Fee said. The UCF Softball team was at the event volunteering when they convinced Fee to cut her hair. She was willing to if Dinney also got her hair cut — Dinney agreed. “I was scared to death, but after it happened everyone was coming up thanking me and it felt really good doing it for somebody else,” Fee said. More than 100 people cheered them on and both Fee and Dinney held hands while they got

their haircuts supporting one another. Cancer survivors thanked the girls for donating their hair, calling them heroes. Once their hair was cut, Dinney and Fee had a choice to send in the hair themselves or have someone from the organization send it in. Both chose to send it in; which meant in return they get information on the story of the hair and the child who receives it. Not only did Dinney do it for a good cause, the haircut has been wellreceived. She has already gotten a lot of compliments on her new shoul-
der-length haircut. “I’ve never had more compliments on my hair now then when it was long,” Dinney said. “I got a really good style with it afterwards which helps.” Dinney also said that before it would take her so long to do her hair and that it would take multiple girls to braid her hair before games. “They said it was like a horse tail,” Dinney said. “Now, though, it is way more convenient.” With the cold weather gone and Florida’s summer heat, the new shorter hairdos have helped both Fee and Dinney stay cooler in the long-run.
Dinney joked that if some of her teammates did get their hair cut for Locks of Love, they would end up with short buzz cuts because their hair would be way too short. It seems as if the haircuts have given the Knights some good luck. Since Relay for Life, the Knights have gone 6-2 and earned their first Conference USA sweep of the season after defeating Marshall 10-6 Sunday. Locks of Love is always looking for people meeting the requirements to donate hair. To find out more information go to locksoflove.org.

OUR STANCE
Who decides a slur’s definition? Editor’s note: Under normal circumstances, using a hate word such as the one Kobe Bryant used would never be printed in the Central Florida Future. However, given that the reason for this editorial is Bryant’s usage of the word in the first place, we as editors have used our best judgment to decide to print the word uncensored to enhance the article’s clarity and illustrate the severity of the issue. n one hand, it’s easy to crucify Kobe Bryant for his outburst last Tuesday. Angry at a referee for a questionable call, Kobe shouted “faggot” at no one in particular. A veteran of the game and no stranger to controversy, Kobe surely knows the dangers of the all-seeing TV camera and was fined $100,000 for the insult. While it’s no surprise that an athlete in the middle of an intense competition would let the word slip out in anger, Kobe’s “apology” was surprising, in a strangely honest way. Kobe said the word has moved past the realm of prejudiced speech and evolved into an unprejudiced insult with no connection to homosexuals. Because he wasn’t technically sorry — merely sorry he got caught — he is appealing his fine. In an ironic way, he’s right: “faggot” has grown to mean something different over the past decade and a half. But has it grown to mean something different solely to those who use the word as an
O
insult, or does the insult still affect homosexuals the same way as before? Which brings us to the real issue in the Kobe fiasco: uninvolved third parties arguing that the word “faggot” no longer has a negative connotation to homosexuals. It’s disingenuous for a straight man to speak on behalf of homosexuals over the meaning of a hate word. It’s as disingenuous as a white man claiming the N-word is no longer insensitive to blacks. In a sense, it’s a systemic issue. How did “faggot” evolve into this harsh replacement insult and no longer come to refer to homosexuals? And why has the same stigma that surrounds the Nword, or any other racial slur, not surrounded “faggot”? The word has never been taboo. Think back to middleschool arguments when the word was dropped a dozen times a minute. Think back to the minor disciplinary issues dolled out for using the word. It’s a word no less harmful than any racial slur, yet it’s been tolerated. Is it because people are less worried about insulting homosexuals than any other minority group? And if so, why? It’s a different sociological study altogether to find out why the word has been accepted and tolerated while so many other prejudiced slurs are branded unspeakable from the onset, but the fact remains: “faggot” has become an “acceptable” slur. Because of the word’s tol-
eration, the Kobe incident is being brushed under the rug as an insignificant, every-day event with no severity whatsoever. More than 50 percent of voters on the L.A. Times’ website said that the NBA should not even punish Kobe for the outburst. Twenty-six percent voted to fine him. Suspension, they voted, was out of the question. Forgive the use of a YouTube comment as an example, but — for better or for worse — YouTube commentors have the ability to speak for the masses behind the veil of anonymity. “The media is blowing this way out of proportion,” says the top comment on the video of the Kobe incident. It’s always astounding how unrelated parties feel best qualified to comment on an issue that doesn’t affect them. The voters are surely not qualified to comment on the slur’s true meaning, yet feel the need to insert their inexpert opinions anyway. If there’s one thing that can be learned from this incident it’s that the majority loves speaking for the minority. “Ignore the minority group’s actual opinions,” they say. “We understand their best interests.” Kobe should have been fined and probably suspended, as well, if only to make a statement to that 50 percent: “This is a more serious issue than you believe and it’s time to stop speaking for those who can speak for themselves.”
