FROM PAGE 1 Committee to present case to Senate at next meeting in June TIME IS RUNNING OUT...

"We'll present it in the next Senate meeting and then Senate can question us. Right now, that's the process I'm going to take." Halscott was unavailable for comment on his contest­ ment hearing or on his affidavit. Former Attorney General Joseph Smith, who brought an affidavit of impeachment against Jaime Halscott that LJR deter­ mined did not hold enough evidence to bring to Senate, made clear his view on Halscott's affidavit. "This isn't an impeachment. In my opinion, it is his last, pitiful and desperate attempt to gain something he was not elected to by the students of this university. The president's accuser lost. He just needs some time to get over it," Smith said. fOR YOU.TO RESERVE YOUR f\Pf\RTMENT f\T JEFFERSON COMMONS Our fullV furnished apartment communitv features: •Controlled Access Gates •Resort Style Pool Plaza and Jacuzzi .Bring this ad in •State of the Art Movie Theater for$100 off your •Tanning Bed seeurity •Reserved Carports (optional) deposit!! ·And MORE!!!!!

"We've always been involved in a lot of searches, but never quite this many," Sloan said. "It's a process you have to go through and a lot of times the process is fairly lengthy." By the end of the week, Sloan is optimistic UCF will have finalists for its women's basketball and women's soccer coaching openings. Sloan said UCF has narrowed its list of women's bas­ ketball candidates to 37, but expects that to be cut to 10-12 after the search committee meets again. The women's soccer coach list is at eight and will be cut to three finalists. There in lies the problem. The changes must be made soon in order for the new coaches to adjust to their new sur­ roundings and begin preparing to adequately fill the shoes of their predecessors. "We've gone-through all the time frames you have to go through to advertise the jobs aqd the criteria the commit­ tees have to establish to get down to the final group," Sloan 1.. said. "This is a time of year that's kind of in-between, so peo- ple are available.

That's Sloan's next step, get UCF into a higher profile conference, and keep his new coaches from using their positions as a stepping stone for something better. Football coach Mike Kruczek has already spurned an NFL job and has had his name rumored as a possibility for other jobs. That's what success will do for you.
