Protests inevitable for Kevorkian's speech

By now, you've probably seen the e-mail sent by UF President Bernie Machen about the slight delay for Dr. Jack Kevorkian's Accent-sponsored speech, which has been moved to Jan. 15. Machen & Co. claim this is for the safety of students because many students have already protested Kevorkian's appearance.

Campus preacher needs a replacement

Although I am not familiar with the departure of Joey Johnsen from Turlington Plaza, I felt compelled to respond to Ryan Heuser's Friday letter to the editor. His letter resounded with sorrowful loss, which many of us have or will experience in this life sooner or later. But his damnation decree for UF students without Johnsen is not the way to grieve a loss. Another preacher, Charles Stanley, once said, "It is not Jesus' voice accusing us of constantly falling short. He is the one who lives to intercede for us."

Gators should have sung alma mater

I've just got to say, the loss to Auburn was heartbreaking, but what was even more heartbreaking was our team leaving the field without coming down toward the students and the band to sing our alma mater. The fact that we lost should be even more reason to show camaraderie. The fans lost their voices, shared in the disappointment of the loss and even shed some tears, so why not join us down in the end zone?
