Editorial Student journalists deserve your support n today’s editorial, we’re going to ask you to remember your high school days. We’re not asking you to relive the awkward times, ex- actly, but just the feeling of having an administration that had a direct infl uence over your education, and to an extent, Iyour future. They were adults, and you were still trying to grasp algebra. They knew best, of course. But did you know you had rights? The case Tinker v. Des Moines may sound familiar to some. For those unfamiliar, it’s one of the fi rst landmark cases about students’ First Amendment rights. Mary Beth Tinker donned a black armband to protest the Vietnam War when she went to school. She was a 13-year-old junior high school student with a voice. But school administrators suspended her, and her case reached the Supreme Court. Students, the Court held, do not “shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expres- sion at the schoolhouse gate.” But on Jan. 13, 1988, the Supreme Court made a decision that restricted those rights for students, in a case known as Hazel- wood v. Kuhlmeier. The issue at hand? A story about divorce and another about teen pregnancy was set to be published in Hazel- wood East High School’s paper, The Spectrum. But the principal, Column who felt the topics were inappropriate, prohibited the publication from running the stories. The students argued their First Amend- ment rights were violated. Despite a lower court agreeing with them, the Supreme Court sided with the principal and said no I am skeptical of Facebook’s algorithm changes rights were not violated. Because the paper was sponsored by the couple of weeks ago, Facebook found- or any other commodity on the market; it is a school, and because it was not a “public forum” in which every- er Mark Zuckerberg announced that profi t-hungry business because, at its core, it is one could share their views, the principal had the right to make Facebook will change their focus and a business — a very large one at that.

GEORGIA 72, FLORIDA 60 Gators' offense falters against Bulldogs in 12-point defeat By Skyler Lebron Sports Writer

With just under five minutes left in the game, Georgia forward Yante Maten received a pass at the top of the key. After no Florida player ran up to defend him, Maten gathered himself and nailed the outside shot to give the Bulldogs a command- ing 60-53. In No. 23 Florida’s 72-60 road loss to Geor- gia in Athens on Tuesday night, rebounding struggles and an ice-cold offense down the stretch snapped a four-game winning streak against the Bulldogs. Senior guard Chris Chiozza scored 15 points for the Gators (15-7, 6-3 SEC), while graduate guard Egor Koulechov added 13. They were the only two Florida players to reach double figures. Meanwhile, Maten led the Bulldogs (13-8, 4-5 SEC) with 20 points and seven rebounds in 31 minutes of action. "We just didn't do it tonight," Chiozza said. "We started out slow on defense, they got going early, so it was hard to stop them." The Gators maintained a lead for a large part of the first half. Eight of the team’s first 11 points came from Chiozza, who scored a layup on a game-opening steal and also knocked down two three-pointers several minutes later. However, Georgia kept itself within strik- ing distance by creating second chance op- portunities. Coming into the game averaging over 12 offensive rebounds per contest, the Bulldogs recorded 10 offensive boards in the first half alone. In contrast, the Gators grabbed 17 total rebounds in the opening twenty minutes and were outrebounded by UGA 44-35 overall. The Gators offense began to wither as the first half progressed, allowing Georgia to take advantage of its deficiencies. Down 26-25 with five minutes left in the half, redshirt senior guard Juwan Parker Alan Alvarez / Alligator Staff nailed a three to give the Bulldogs their first Florida guard Chris Chiozza was one of two UF players to score in double digits against Georgia on Tuesday, registering a team- high 15 points on 6-of-13 shooting.

NOTEBOOK, from pg. 14 Johnson. All three are recovering from injury and haven't set a date for return.

KeVaughn Tracker Guard KeVaughn Allen’s struggles this year have been well-chronicled. Allen led UF in scoring last season and helped propel the Gators to the Elite Eight with a 35-point explosion against Wisconsin. But the Little Rock, Arkansas, native has struggled to fi nd a rhythm since transfers Jalen Hudson and Egor Koulechov joined this year’s roster. Allen scored nine points on 4-of-11 shoot- ing against the Bulldogs, missing four of his fi ve three-point attempts. He missed his fi nal fi ve shots of the game, snapping a streak of four straight games scoring in double fi gures. Allen scored 28 points in a Jan. 17 win against Arkansas in what many hoped would be a break- out performance. But Allen has followed up by scoring 11, 15, 10 and now nine points as he con- tinues to struggle to regain his offensive prowess. Hudson, who leads the team with 16.2 points per game, failed to get anything going against Georgia. The redshirt junior went 3-for-14 from the fi eld. Koulechov fi nished with 13 points and seven rebounds in the loss. Nate Bustamante / Alligator Staff @AndrewJHuang Florida guard KeVaughn Allen scored nine points against Georgia on Tuesday.
