God & Gainesville
In Gainesville, and on the University of Florida campus, there was always a whole lotta preachin’ going on. Jews, Muslims, Hindu, and Christians of all persuasions, all looked for a higher educated flock.

PREACHING ON THE GREEN*
The Plaza of The Americas is UF’s most popular, outdoor pulpit. The place where Krishnas served up curry potatoes, and evangelical Christians spewed their style of fire and brimstone.

 

 

God, Gators & Guns

SMART GUNS (STUDENT SHOOTERS)
An examination of how many deadly weapons were being concealed in University of Florida housing led the Alligator’s Dave Futch to freshman Dan Bahneman. (STORY)

When I saw blood dripping off my elbow, I thought he had shot me in the heart.”

CONVENIENCE (IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER)
After being shot in the chest while working behind the counter at his neighborhood Majik Market, engineering student Dan Eifert said “When I saw blood dripping off my elbow, I thought he had shot me in the heart. (STORY)

COOLING OFF (A SUGGESTION)
After UF engineering student, Dan Eifert, was shot in the chest while working the register at the Cin City Majik Market, Alligator editor David Dahl said what he thought of the lack of legislative gun control in Gainesville and in the rest of the United States of America. (EDITORIAL)

VIOLENT CRIME (THE 21-DAY SOLUTION)
GAINESVILLE, GOD & COUNTRY

THE LAST WORD (DECEMBER 8, 1980)
Imagine, after all that had already happened in 1980, the year would end with the murder of John Lennon, the most socially active Beatle. A sad day, and again the result of a handgun. Again it was Alligator editor David Dahl who had something to say.

POINT BLANK (LETTERS SHOT AT THE ALLIGATOR)
OThere were many opinions pinions about how many guns were housed on the University of Florida campus were many and diverse.
