It was a packed house.
Wednesday, we ran a double-feature in which two of our writers investigated the enrollment trends among two minority communities at UF.

When Beyoncé ended 2013 with a bang by releasing an unannounced album, Drake must have been taking notes. Last month, the Grammy award-winning rapper released his own unannounced album: “If Youre Reading This Its Too Late.” Drake’s album was not nearly as successful as the queen’s, but it held its own with almost 500,000 copies sold in its first week. Drake’s lyrical talents earned him some praise from 50 Cent, and I was even tempted to tap the thumbs-up button more than once on my own Pandora. While his lyrics impressed, his album cover disappointed.

On a hot, muggy, summer day in Georgia, two black couples were seized by a mob of white men. They were taken to a clearing overlooking a nearby river — the Apalachee, some 15 miles from where the University of Georgia stands today. There, they were tied up and shot to death — the coroner’s report estimated they were shot as many as 60 times. One of the women was pregnant; though it isn’t certain, some reports claim the unborn child was ripped out from her body.
The cry heard around the world Friday was “divestment!”
Ricky Brockway, a 21-year-old independent musician, sings in front of Library West on Divestment Day, an event put on by I.D.E.A.S of UF. His solo performance goes by the title "Moose".

A heavy silence fell over the Senate chambers at Tuesday night’s UF Student Senate meeting when Sen. Michael Christ announced the formation of an independent Senate coalition.
