Good for the anthropology department for defending diversity and minorities. What could be more diverse and be a smaller minority than a reckless-driving professor who attempts to exchange drugs for gay sex near a church? Shame on UF for reinstating such a creeper.
I was severely disappointed in the representation of Louis Centanni concerning the front-page article. Certain inaccuracies were statedthat all together misrepresented not only Louis himself, but all thosesuffering with Tourette Syndrome.
While I believe that Neal Wheeler has the kernel of a good idea in his letter to the editor, he becomes increasingly more ignorant as the piece goes on. His idea that the government can't be counted on to fix everyone's problems is very true. The government can't, in fact, fix everything. Perhaps the government has tried too hard in the past to fix all the problems in American society, but this doesn't extend to health care.
Mr. Wheeler makes an excellent point. If you can't afford health care, don't go running to the government to solve your problems. Just get on Medicaid!
As great as it is to read about our student senators feeling "uncomfortable" regarding the health of hotel guests, I would like to take this opportunity to remind our representatives that as residents of Rawlings Hall we live under these circumstances every day.
It's been a busy week at the Alligator (go figure). Just when we thought exams were over and all was quiet on the West University Avenue front, another parade took us by surprise. This time, it was a festival of suck that hit us like a dump truck loaded with your neighbor's rotten Wu-Tang pumpkin that he carved way too early and allowed to marinate in the sun...
It's time to turn back the clocks again.
