In regards to Ms. Meyerson's letter Wednesday about poor police response to the bomb threat, I agree that perhaps more information could have been made immediately available through emergency channels. But it should also be said that students, staff, and faculty need to use common sense when it comes to fire alarms and announcements to evacuate. The first priority of the police and other emergency responders should be to get people out of the building, with specific information about "why" as a lesser priority.

The American people have been fed a steady diet of fear for the better part of the last seven years. Since the harrowing hours of Sept. 11, our media and politicians have done their best to scare the living daylights out us by incessantly informing us that its not a matter of if there will be another terrorist attack, but when.

Within the past two semesters on campus, I experienced my second UF professor close to tears when it comes to the budget cuts. The most recent 6 percent cut that departments must meet makes matters even worse at a school that is trying to become a top 10 institution. I want UF to be that top 10 school, and I'm confident that the only way that will happen is tuition is increased to similar rates of other public schools. One can take a look at the University of Michigan. According to its Web site, tuition and fees for in-state students are currently $10,448 for students in their first two years, and $11,776 for students in their third and fourth years. In comparison, UF's tuition and fees are $3,370. UF is an amazing institution, and I'm afraid that without an increase in tuition, The Gator Nation will be at a severe disadvantage in the future.
