Professor shouldn’t have been reinstated
By Chris Marth | Oct. 22, 2009Good 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.

Government needed for health reform
By PAUL MURTY | Oct. 22, 2009While 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.

UF should have sent text about threat
Oct. 22, 2009This past week revealed a disturbing trend at UF, something that the entire Student Body should be concerned about. Apparently it is becoming common practice around campus for students and bystanders to leave suspicious-looking backpacks lying around public areas and for the Gainesville Police Department bomb squad to respond accordingly.
