Much of the Alligator coverage in the past two weeks has dealt with the actions of the University Police during the tragic shooting of graduate student Kofi Adu-Brempong. But another, equally great tragedy is the scant coverage of the extremely poor response to a man suffering from poor mental health.
Today roughly marks the one-year anniversary of the unquestioned pinnacle of Barack Obama’s presidency – the bracket he filled out for last year’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. Mired in the muck of a massively unsatisfying and restive term as the leader of the free world, President Obama now must re-calibrate his approach and perhaps use the basketball acumen of his inner circle to a decided political advantage.
In a society that goes out of its way to celebrate the mediocre — Applebee’s restaurants, allowing the Detroit Lions to be televised on Thanksgiving Day, ‘80s music — we really outdo ourselves on March 17.

The upcoming federal election cycle sure looks exciting from here. Democrats are fighting for their political lives, Republicans trying to make gains in both houses of Congress and Tea Partiers clamoring for revolution.
Students get a bad rep around Gainesville sometimes for throwing a metaphorical four-year party, trashing the place because we don’t have to live with the resulting mess. You’ll hear this when any vote on taxes does or doesn’t pass, when discussing student driving habits or when we throw the parties that land us among the top 5 party schools.
I was misrepresented in the Alligator on Monday concerning my knowledge of the city’s strong anti-discrimination protections.
