SECTION-BY-SECTION ANALYSIS: SECTION 1: Designates the baseball field at Florida A&M University as the “Oscar A. Moore- Costa Kittles Baseball Field.” The late Oscar A. Moore was a teacher, coach, academic leader, and administrator at Florida A&M University for nearly 30 years. During his tenure as baseball coach, Florida A&M University produced several All-Americans who went on to play in the major leagues. Among these All-Americans was the late William “Bill” Lucas. STORAGE NAME: h0827.go DATE: March 7, 2000 PAGE 4 Costa Kittles assumed the leadership of the Florida A&M University baseball program after the retirement of Dr. Oscar A. Moore. He amassed a record of 401-102, won eight Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) baseball titles, and finished second nine times. He piloted Rattler baseball teams into six National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) district playoffs and one NAIA national tournament. Among his star athletes are Hal McRae and Andre Dawson. SECTION 2: Designates the tennis courts at Florida A&M University as the “Althea Gibson Tennis Courts.” Althea Gibson was a star athlete in tennis while a student at Florida A&M University. A pioneer in the realm of professional tennis, Ms. Gibson was the first African-American allowed to compete in the U. S. Lawn Tennis Association and in the U.S. Nationals. She became the first African-American to play at the U.S. Open in Forest Hills, N.Y., and the first to play in and win the French Open in 1956. At the age of 30, she made history again as the first African-American to win Wimbledon and the U.S. Nationals, the world’s two most prestigious tennis tournaments. The following year in 1958, Ms. Gibson repeated both accomplishments. SECTION 3: Designates the Athletic Center at Florida Atlantic University’s Boca Raton Campus as the “Tom Oxley Athletic Center and Fields.” Thomas E. Oxley graduated from Florida Atlantic University in 1966 and earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business. Mr. Oxley is currently the President of the Royal Palm Polo Club in Boca Raton. He has been involved in the sport of polo throughout his life. Mr. Oxley played polo competitively but suffered a life threatening injury during a match that left him in a coma. Medical doctors did not believe Mr. Oxley would ever walk again, but with intense therapy, Mr. Oxley conquered his disability. SECTION 4: Designates the new Fine Arts Building at Florida Atlantic University’s John D. MacArthur Campus in Jupiter as the “Hibel Fine Arts Building.” Edna Hibel is a celebrated American artist. She was one of the youngest artists to have a painting in the collection of a major American museum when the Boston Museum of Fine Arts purchased one of her early paintings. In 1969, patrons of Ms. Hibel’s work built the Hibel Museum in Palm Beach. The museum is the world’s only nonprofit, public museum dedicated to the work of a living American woman. Ms. Hibel’s work has been exhibited in museums and galleries located in more than 20 countries. The U.S. National Archives commissioned Ms. Hibel to produce works in order to commemorate 75 years of women receiving the right to vote; the White House Historical Association commissioned Ms. Hibel to produce works in order to commemorate the 200th year of the White House and the founding of Washington D.C.; and the U.S. Postal Service commissioned Ms. Hibel to produce works in order to commemorate the United Nations. SECTION 5: Designates the new classroom and office space for the College of Business at Florida Atlantic University’s Boca Raton Campus as the “Carl DeSantis Pavilion.” Carl DeSantis is the founder and chairman of Rexall Sundown, Inc., one of the world’s leading producers and distributors of vitamins, nutritional supplements, and over-the- counter pharmaceuticals. As a stock clerk at a drugstore, Mr. DeSantis realized that a demand existed for an inexpensive and effective sunburn treatment. As a result, he developed a sunburn treatment called Sundown. He then began producing and marketing high quality vitamins. In 1985, Mr. DeSantis acquired the Rexall name and in 1990, he STORAGE NAME: h0827.go DATE: March 7, 2000 PAGE 5 developed a successful network marketing company (Rexall Showcase International). Mr. DeSantis is a generous donor to community causes, especially health care causes. SECTION 6: Designates the new presidential residence at Florida Atlantic University’s Boca Raton Campus as the “Eleanor R. Baldwin House.” Eleanor R. Baldwin was a social studies teacher at Deerfield Beach High School and is the President of the Baldwin Family Foundation.
