Block tuition debate not class warfare

The fight against block tuition began admirably but has spun out of control thanks to the volition of a few students. When Ben Meyers campaigned on a vote against block tuition he didn’t cast and Dave Schneider on a petition that he didn’t write, I was upset but realized it was just politics. However, on my first day back from break, I was greeted by signs and graffiti stating that, “The block might spare you if you have a trust fund,” and that the fight is some kind of class warfare.

March 20, 1964: Albert II, the alligator mascot of UF, is “gatornapped.” University police find the gate still locked and a hole cut through the fencing at the top of his pen. A few days later, campus police receive reports of a 7-foot alligator chained to a flagpole on Florida State University’s campus.
