Protesters' actions were merited
By SKEET SURRENCY | Nov. 25, 2007In regards to the protests surrounding former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' speech at UF, I have a few important observations to make. As a participant in the protests, I can assure you we take the First Amendment right of freedom of speech very seriously. For the purpose of protecting both Mr. Gonzales' and our First Amendment rights, we unanimously decided our protests should be visual, not vocal.

Holding Out For A Hero
Nov. 25, 2007(Charles Roop / Alligator Staff) Shweta Mokashi waits in line in a tent outside of Best Buy on Archer Road on Thursday night for the Black Friday sales. Mokashi said she had been in line since 5 p.m. Wednesday. Shoppers across the country packed retail stores Friday in a bid to snag the best bargains. Although sales were better than expected over the holiday weekend, the spike may have been due to shoppers buying items from discount stores like Wal-Mart.
