The organization also printed out a large poster of Kirk’s head, fi lled his eyes out with a black marker and wrote “C**T” on his forehead. Unlike Trump Jr., Kirk was not paid using student funds. Turning Point USA rented out the auditorium at a reduced rate, according to the University Auditorium Rental Policy Manual. Kirk discussed Turning Point USA’s three main points: the U.S. is the greatest country in the world, the Constitution is the greatest politi- cal document in the world and free- market capitalism is the best, moral economic system. Although he can’t pick his No. 1, Kirk said that UF’s Turning Point chapter is one of his favorites. “Go Gators, I guess,” he said. @aescalante22 [email protected] Sam Thomas / Alligator Staff Hope Dean contributed to this report.

LIFESTYLE MUSIC About 170 people came out to The Atlantic Saturday night for Dan Deacon’s show. Deacon brought his experimental Matheson History electronic music and signature interactive performance. Deacon instructed the audience through various dancing games, including a human tunnel that snaked outside to Museum debuts Tom Main Street and then back inside the club. Petty exhibition THE EXHIBIT FEATURES MEMORABILIA FROM THE ROCK ICON’S LOCAL FRIENDS AND FAMILY

Cassandra Perez Avenue Staff Writer Home to nine musicians who have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Gainesville boasts a rich musical history that extends far beyond its borders. But what is it about the city that breeds legends?

The Matheson History Museum’s newest exhibition seeks to answer just that question. Titled “Tom Petty’s Gainesville: Where Dreams Began,” the collection honors the musician’s 40-year career by going back to his roots. Showcasing a wide range of memorabilia from his early days in Gainesville, all of which were borrowed from Petty’s local friends and family, the exhibit provides an intimate look at the well-loved icon and his far-reaching legacy. Kat Antunes / Alligator Staff The exhibition debuted Friday in the Mary Ann Cofrin Ex- Deacon sweats over an assortment of MDMI controllers and a kaleidoscope of knobs and buttons hibit Hall with a members-only reception at 6 p.m. followed Saturday night in The Atlantic. by a general public reception from 7 to 9 p.m. The occasion marked the museum’s fi rst time offering members the oppor- tunity to view its newest exhibits early. The exhibit will be open to the general public free of charge until Jan. 11, 2020. “It was a way for us to sort of give another benefi t to peo- LIFESTYLE ple who support us all year long,” Executive Director Dixie Neilson said. “It may be surprising to some, but the Matheson is supported solely by donations and grants that we write. We’re not connected with any state or city organizations.” Business owners gather downtown According to Neilson, the Matheson has been working on the exhibit for about four months. They originally wanted to debut the exhibit during last month’s Tom Petty Weekend, but many of the items they intended to display were being for Florida Vintage Market used for the festivities.
