This week the world celebrated momentous changes in history, and America celebrated some changes of its own. By contrast, things have been a little slow around the Alligator; the most noteworthy thing to happen this week is the mysterious disappearance of the friendly rats that live in our walls (if you’re reading this, we miss you). These epic world events only make the mundane state of affairs in Gainesville harder to bear.

I am writing this letter to commend the Alligator on the way in which it reported the story “Fraternities charged with providing alcohol to minors.” Contrary to the way in which stories involving the Greek system are typically reported, this article displays the relevant conflicting viewpoints inherent in any news story.

I applaud the effort to contact each of the relevant organizations.

In response to Frederic Spieler’s letter, “Republicans aren’t actually conservative,” Spieler asks what the conservative principles are. I would like to try to answer that.

They should not be given a free ride on everyone else’s dollar.
