An off-duty security guard at the UF Housing Office was arrested early Tuesday for preventing a Gainesville police officer from helping a drunken woman outside 101 Downtown, according to a police report.

More work needs to be done for homeless

This letter is in response to Adrianna Paidas' article about the requirement for police clearance imposed on the poor and homeless to be allowed to use services at St. Francis House homeless shelter and dining hall. This requirement was imposed at the same time the 130 meal limit ordinance was enacted, but the police clearance requirement was not enforced until the meal limit was lifted. For two and a half years, they were forced to turn away thousands of hungry people.

Editorial about interior design licensing was misinformed

I am very disappointed to read the misinformed article regarding interior design. As someone who works for Shands in the facilities development department I can attest to the importance of an educated and licensed interior designer for commercial designs. The licensing laws have nothing to do with residential design; please check the facts before publishing.
