UF should cancel speech now
By John Ritchie | Jan. 13, 2008If pro-assisted suicide and euthanasia advocate Dr. Jack Kevorkian's appearance is not canceled, the moral integrity of higher education in America will receive a serious blow. With the forced starvation of Terri Schiavo still fresh in our nation's memory, I am appalled that a convicted felon like Dr. Kevorkian is being given the microphone at the University of Florida. The immoral behavior he promotes is unfit for civilized society. Obviously, freedom of speech has limits. Would Accent also be willing to sponsor Hitler, Stalin or Mao? I sure hope not.

Noah struggles with disciplinary problems
Jan. 13, 2008Former UF forward Joakim Noah's crazy persona isn't sitting well with his new teammates. Noah was reportedly only going to be benched one game after the Chicago Bulls first-rounder got in a heated argument with assistant Ron Adams. However, after Noah sat in Friday's 100-97 win at Philadelphia, Noah's teammates unanimously voted that the former Gator should sit in Sunday's game against Atlanta as well. Bulls coach Jim Boylan gave his players their wish, and Noah didn't play.
