Just one (& only one) comment regarding the helmet law/edict/proposal that UF is instituting/instigating/infuriating:
Did it ever occur to any of us (save me – of all?) that since a large portion of students have recently left their parents’ direct supervision, UF is extending the in loco parentis rule that covers elementary & secondary education to the collegiate arena? It seems that how litigious society has become, if UF at least implements the helmet rule, then parents would be less liable to try to sue the university in the case that a severe accident would happen to their child who happens to be out of their direct supervision. Just another point to ponder. Geez. This phys. ed. teacher has entirely too much time on his hands! Let’s see: Phys. ed. teachers’ conference in 2 weeks, coaching association convention in 3 weeks, football practice in 6 weeks. That means school (for me) starts in 7. Oh boy. >From sweltering (at 105°F) Central Texas – Later, Dave Rice Home: [email protected] Work: [email protected] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
