VOLUME 106 ISSUE 46 WWW.ALLIGATOR.ORG TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2011 Accent brings Shaq to speak at O’Connell Center tonight CLAIRE MILLER Alligator Contributing Writer

Spencer Pylant remembers watching the NBA championship game in 2006. The Miami Heat had won four out of six games against the Dallas Mavericks. He remembers Shaquille O’Neal’s drive and push. “It’s amazing the way he smashes and drives toward the basket,” said Pylant, 23, a second-year management graduate student. “He does whatever it takes to get the ball in the hoop.” O’Neal is an actor, media personality Haley Stracher / Alligator and rapper.

Because of the owed money, Alachua County officials enjoy themselves. He said that’s the key to rebuilding a county fair. White couldn’t provide an exact crowd count, but said thousands of people showed up Saturday and Sunday. “We aren’t as concerned about the numbers as we are concerned about the happiness of the customers who come out,” he said. “I thought the turnout was very good for our first weekend.” Event Marketing Corp. has a contract to run the fair for four more years, and White said he plans to draw in the community as much as possible during those years, especially the agricultural community. Agriculture shows are very popular in the area, he said. He plans to draw more people who want to show ani- mals to the fair. “Agriculture is No. 1,” White said. “I’d like to embrace the agricultural community very much so to involve them.” But more than anything, White said, he wants adults, college students and children to come to the fair to enjoy life. “Fairs as a whole across the United States are a mirror image of the community itself,” he said. “This is very im- portant for us to put on the best that we possibly can.” Other attractions include $2 beers on Tuesday night for students who bring a college ID, a live alligator show and live bands such as Dad and the Accidents, Danny Wooten and Southern Slang and Red Paper Birds.

Editorial Pride-ful Priorities Opponents have bigger problems to deal with his weekend, Bo Diddley Community Plaza in down- town Gainesville was host to the Pride Festival. One would be hard-pressed to find a major city with- outT an annual LGBTQ pride festival or parade. A Gallup poll in May showed that, for the first time, a ma- jority of respondents (53 percent) believed that same-sex mar- riage should be legal. The only age group that did not have majority support of le- gal protections for same-sex marriage were those 55 and older. Still, this group’s support increased by six percentage points from the previous year. This year, the military policy banning homosexuals from openly serving in the military, referred to as “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” was officially repealed. Lately, when opinion polls ask about which issues are most important to Americans, policies toward gays and lesbians, family or marriage issues make up only one to two percent of those on the list. All of these events are evidence that there is a sweeping change occurring among Americans. Issues such as the lack of jobs, the economy and war are foremost in Americans’ minds while social issues just don’t matter. These tough times are probably making people realize that Column how other people choose to live their lives really does not affect them. People also seem to be realizing that there is a problem with marriage equality in this country.
