The NBA’s Orlando Magic returned to the University of North Florida Oct 4-9
for the eighth consecutive year. The Magic has been training at UNF since 1997,
and from the sound of things, the team will be here for many more years. “The
facilities are fabulous, the floor is good, it’s a forgiving floor, it’s a soft
floor and it kind of copies the floors we’re used to playing on,” said Magic
Assistant General Manager Dave Twardzik.

Despite the controversy surrounding the fall 2005 Student Senate election at the
University of North Florida, Student Government has validated the results.
The Senate decided to validate the election by a vote of 11-5-15, during the
Oct. 10 Senate meeting. Senators who participated in the election abstained from
the vote as required by statute.
Although the election results were validated, the decision to do so in light of
a discrepancy involving 83 extra ballots had some senators battling the
validation.

Block tuition
raises concerns among students
By Jake Halkovic

Students at the University of North Florida may be charged for 15 credit
hours when registered for nine credit hours or more — if a block tuition
initiative is passed by the Florida Legislature.
The main purpose of block tuition is to help Florida college students graduate
on time by raising the cost to that of 15 credits so they will be forced to take
more courses, according to Student Body President Tom Foran.
