Thank you for your editorial piece "Campus ban removes smokers' rights." However, it neglects to mention one of the main problems with smokers: the fact that they just throw their butts on the ground no matter where they are at.
A cutline in Tuesday's Alligator incorrectly identified Deja Brew employee James Kenlon-Durrance, who has worked at the café for about two years.
My name is Frank, and I used to be a senator. For the past 12 weeks, I served as a replacement senator in the Student Senate, and my term ended last Tuesday at the end of the last Senate summer session meeting.
Sunday nights, trash nights, before I roll the garbage out to the curb, I strip off all my clothes and leave them in a little pile on the bench by the front door. Naked, I approach the street with the garbage can, which smashes the grass under its weight. It's one of the busiest streets in Akron, Ohio, during the day. But come 2 a.m., traffic is sparse. After the can is in position on the curb, I don't hurry back to my pile of clothes. Instead, I pace the dew-soaked grass, and I let the night air touch all the parts of my body it normally can't.

All it takes is one look at the Alligator parking lot full of cars crammed with clothes, kitchen utensils and random boxes to know that summer is coming to an end, and everyone is ready to begin anew in his or her freshly leased pads. But, before you get too excited (and crumple up this paper to use as packing material), we would like to present you with an are-there-really-only-two-weeks-until-fall edition of…

Johnathan Lott/s July 30th column is either deliberately misleading or laughably misinformed, possibly both. He implies that if marginal tax rates go up, the government will take "56 percent of every dollar" that a wealthy person earns. Is UF/s economics department really so bad that an economics junior doesn/t understand marginal tax rates? Honestly?
A proposed state-wide "pay-as-you-throw" program would charge residents according to how much trash they throw out and increase state recycling requirements for businesses and apartments. Both requirements are already enforced by Gainesville.
