Senator will make a good lecturer
By Margaret von Dolteren | Feb. 27, 2008As a freshman in 2005, I took state Sen. Mike Haridopolos' course on state politics, and I can say with confidence that he is a caring and competent teacher. He commuted to Gainesville to lecture and could always be reached when he was not here. On this front, he deserves more respect than the Alligator has given him.

Scrawl on the Stall
Feb. 27, 2008Whether scribbled with a pen, scrawled with a pencil, scratched with a knife or smeared with… well, hopefully nothing is smeared… we've all seen outrageous, funny and sometimes disturbing sayings or messages written on walls that we've wanted to show someone else, but haven't because that would be totally awkward. Right? Well, now you can! If you see something legible written on a wall, a desk or any unusual surface, write 'em down and send them to dlow@alligator.org.

Campus preachers should be ignored
By Valerie Garman | Feb. 27, 2008I was told, "You are a woman, you have no voice," by a campus preacher on Turlington Plaza Monday afternoon. I was outraged. I was even more disgusted by the preacher's wife who stood in the distance saying nothing. I was also called a drunkard, a whore and a scantily dressed woman. I was pointed out by one of the preachers Tuesday while walking to class and bombarded with the same accusations. I was certainly not the only one.
