CAMPUS New dean hopes to improve health college ALYSSA NIEVES Alligator Contributing Writer

UF’s provost announced Friday that Michael Reid will be serving as the new dean for the College of Health and Human Perfor- mance starting in July. “It is clear that the people in the College of Health and Human Performance have some really exciting ideas and interesting initia- tives, both in research and education, and as dean, it’s my job to help make those things happen,” said Reid, a professor and chair- man for the Department of Physiology at the University of Ken- tucky. Reid underwent two rounds of interviews, and after the four- month-long process, he received his offer letter last week. “This is all so very new. I’m still shocked,” he said. He said the college has a lot of room to grow in research and educational programs, specifically graduate programs and distance learning. Reid’s research focuses on the mechanisms that contrib- ute to muscle weakness and premature fatigue. He said he hopes Derek A. Smith / Alligator to balance his administrative obligations with his research. “I’m a scientist. I can’t imagine not being involved in research,” Honoring Our Heroes Reid said. Disabled American Veterans Executive Director Al Linden talks to Army Lt. Col. Noma Martini prior to the College of Health and Human Performance professor Kelli UF Veteran Appreciation Kick-Off ceremony Monday afternoon at the Reitz Union Amphitheater. Brown said she assumed her role as interim dean in September. She will leave UF to become provost at Georgia College.

Not real in the sense that we should build underground bun- kers and hide from bombs by hiding under our desks because those help very little. But real in the sense that we ignored that country for so long because it seemed so outrageous to believe anything it had to say. “I consider the current North Korean threats very serious,” said South Korean President Park Geun-hye to the South’s gen- erals, according to a New York Times article. “If the North attempts any provocation against our people and country, you must respond strongly at the fi rst contact with them without any political consideration. “As top commander of the military, I trust your judgment in the face of North Korea’s unexpected surprise provocation,” she continued. If South Korea is starting to take North Korea’s threats more Column seriously, then the rest of the world should follow suit. Because if anybody should be fed up with the North’s attitude by now, it’s the South.

Josh Jurnovoy In its fi rst two twitter: @joshjurnovoy weekend series of Southeastern Confer- ence play against No. 10 Kentucky and No. 2 Vanderbilt, Florida won the Friday opener. Then, the Gators dropped the fi nal two games of each series thanks to poor pitching perfor- mances on Saturday from Jonathon Crawford and on Sunday from Eric Hanhold. Against the Rebels, those issues were non- existent. Crawford looked like he did in the latter part of 2012, throwing a complete-game shutout against Ole Miss on Saturday. Freshman lefty Danny Young followed Crawford with 5.1 shutout innings in the best Sunday start by a Gator this season. In last Tuesday’s loss to FSU in Jacksonville, Young gave up just one run in four innings and struck out fi ve in relief of Tucker Simpson. Young has earned the Sunday job. Together with Crawford and fellow freshman Jay Car- michael, coach Kevin O’Sullivan fi nally has a weekend rotation that inspires confi dence. The lineup is coming around as well. Florida scored four runs off Vanderbilt’s Fri- day starter, Kevin Ziomek, who is second in the league with a .157 batting average against. Catcher Taylor Gushue, who was homer- less and hitting just .231 before UF’s 9-4 win against UNF on March 19, is hitting .400 in his last eight games with three home runs and has brought his average up to .277, The promising weekend also came with two pinch-running appearances from freshman shortstop Richie Martin. Prior to the Ole Miss series, Martin hadn’t seen the fi eld since breaking his fi nger in a 6-3 win against Miami on March 3. Martin was arguably Florida’s best player through the fi rst 13 games, leading Ryan Jones / Alligator Staff the team with 13 hits and ranking third on the Junior Jonathon Crawford pitches during Florida’s 11-5 loss to Kentucky on March 16 at McKethan Stadium.
