Fall Student Senate elections ended Wednesday, but some questions about the validity of the results still linger. District E tallied 535 student voters Tuesday and Wednesday, up more than 700 percent from the fall 2010 count of 65 voters. Students Party member Jona- than Ossip said party members are trying to get elections map experts to look at the numbers and confi rm that the District E results are an anomaly. District E, the commuter students’ district, includes all ZIP codes except those specifi ed in Districts A, B, C and D, which include the areas around UF. If the registrar’s offi ce had a student’s permanent home address and not his or her Gainesville address, that student would have been placed in District E. Ossip said students receiving the correct ballot is vital to fair elections. He said when he voted in the fall 2010 paper-ballot elections, his address wasn’t listed under the correct district, but it was caught before he made it to the polls. He fi lled out an affi davit with his address, which was confi rmed within minutes.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 § ALLIGATOR, 11 Campus buildings get new addresses in case of emergencies � EMERGENCY RESPONDERS WILL HAVE AN EASIER TIME FINDING THEM ON A GPS.

MEREDITH RUTLAND Alligator Staff Writer

Emergency responders and visiting parents should have an easier time getting around campus because UF’s buildings have new addresses. The addresses have been changed to traditional street addresses. For example, Turlington Hall’s address has been changed from the name of the building to 330 Newell Drive. The old building names wouldn’t appear on GPS devices, which made it hard for emergency vehicles and new parents to find their way around campus, said Frank Phillips, an associate director of UF’s Facilities, Planning and Construction. One of the reasons the addresses were changed was to make sure fire trucks, ambulances and other emergency vehicles could find the campus buildings on their GPS devices quickly. “Our paramount concern is we do not in any way, shape or form want to have an issue with emergency response,” he said. The process of changing the addresses has been going on for about three years, Phillips said. It took about a year to get the addresses finalized. Keith Godwin, E911 coordinator and communications section chief at Alachua County Fire Rescue, said the lack of traditional addresses made emergency responders’ jobs more difficult. “When you have a physical address, it’s logical,” he said. “It makes sense.” Signs with the new addresses will be added to campus build- Dana Burke / Alligator Staff ings, but the names of halls and buildings won’t change.
