Gainesville is offi cially occupied. Occupy Gainesville started its occupation of the city Wednesday at 8 a.m. at the Bo Diddley Community Plaza. Protesters peacefully marched to Wells Fargo and Bank of America to persuade people to close their bank accounts and educate them about banking in America. Protester Eddy Arenas, 32, said he found Brett Le Blanc / Alligator Staff out about the Occupy Wall Street movement The occupation is a result of frustrations over the economic state, medical from videos on the Internet. care situation and the government’s relationship with corporations. “We have a personal responsibility,” he said. “We can’t just keep pointing fi ngers at the rul- ing elite … we put ourselves in this position.” Arenas said he understands the Gainesville Police Department has city ordinances to follow when the time comes, and he appreciates how cooperative GPD has been. “The most important thing we are getting from this is the connections we’ve made from Brett Le Blanc / Alligator Staff so many great people who care about fi xing the Diana Moreno, a 24-year-old UF alumna, chants at problems that affect this world,” he said.

Schmelzer also got UF included in the Oc- cupy Florida Colleges coalition. “People are pissed off and they are taking a stand,” she said. At time of publication, Occupy Gainesville had a permit that allowed protesters to stay overnight at the plaza Wednesday night. Occupy Gainesville’s general assembly decided to fulfi ll the permit, said protester Maya Garner. Since the general assembly fulfi lled the permit, it has forfeited its ability to reapply and receive a longer permit, she said.

Editorial Not-So-Slick Rick Governor should leave liberal arts alone or Gov. Rick Scott, the preparation of a competent workforce should be the sole purpose of a college education. Who needs to ask questions about our role in the uni- verseF or the meaning of justice or the epistemological foundations of truth or the philosophical basis of our legal system? No, Scott believes we go to college to get a job. His goal for the state is to pull the focus (and the funding) away from liberal arts and direct resources toward “degrees where people can get jobs in this state.” Yes, many of us enter college with the ambition of one day doing something we love. But during this journey, it is our chance to really find out who we are. College presents an opportunity for all of us to question the foundations upon which our entire belief systems stand. Although the goal of liberal education should not be to make you forgo your beliefs or leave you with the conclu- sion that there is no right way to look at the world, it should attempt to present alternative views throughout a variety of disciplines. It should force you to justify modern ideas that are often taken for granted. Is democracy the best political system? Should pure gender equality be a desired goal for society?
