Faces of Gainesville: William Petrak

As buses circle around campus flashing Gators-themed messages in bright-orange digital letters, William Petrak slouches in the cushioned driver's seat of a chunky turquoise bus whose sign reads "125 Lakeside" in pale gray letters.

Stickers encourage voters

Friday's Alligator contained a four-paragraph diatribe concerning the distribution of "I Voted" stickers during Student Government elections. How can one be so petty? We have students trying to ensure the safety of the community, to save language programs and to allocate money to student groups, and you go after stickers? Those of us in Greek houses know that it is not "coercion" that goes on, but rather encouragement to vote in SG elections. With such a small percentage of students voting in these elections, it is shameful that you resent Greek participation. Sen. Gary Benedix, you seem pleased with yourself that you "have it all figured out."
