The Gainesville City Commission will discuss tonight two proposals that, if passed, could mean a couple of kicks in the face for UF students. Local officials never seem to include students' interests in their decisions.
Students never seem to be very interested in local politics.
Few students vote in local elections, and they seldom show up for the meetings. So this time give local officials a reason to care about students. No more than 40 percent of a house's front lawn could be used for parking. The city would begin to enforce the ordinance Jan. 1. But city officials are not completely out to get students.
