Well, my first stimulating albeit frustrating week as managing editor has come to a close. Although the 50-hour workweeks, late nights and massive amounts of paper-shuffling will still take some getting used to - not to mention my rapidly disappearing social life - I am still excited about the opportunity to help set which direction the Alligator heads this semester.
Since it was postponed last October, Dr. Jack Kevorkian's highly anticipated visit to the UF campus tonight is naturally expected to be controversial.
If pro-assisted suicide and euthanasia advocate Dr. Jack Kevorkian's appearance is not canceled, the moral integrity of higher education in America will receive a serious blow. With the forced starvation of Terri Schiavo still fresh in our nation's memory, I am appalled that a convicted felon like Dr. Kevorkian is being given the microphone at the University of Florida.

The debate over immigration in the United States is coming to UF on Wednesday.
Ah, Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for the holiday you can't screw up. There's no need to fret about finding the perfect gift for your mom or someone hot to kiss at midnight. It's socially acceptable to eat so much pie that you can't get up from the table. Here's what I'm thankful this year:
We're starving. The thought of eating another meal out of a box, bag or can is enough to make out stomachs turn. So we're holding out for the gluttonous pleasure that is epitomized in the Thanksgiving meal.
After attending Alberto Gonzales' speech, I have never been so ashamed and embarrassed to attend UF. I simply cannot believe people are so disrespectful and rude to someone who has devoted his life to serving our country.
Local and national experts gathered at the University Auditorium on Monday night to discuss the condition of U.S. health care.
Former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales will speak at UF on Monday, but his speech will not go exactly as he wanted.
I can only hope Andrew Meyer's guest column was published with ironic intent. The guy who helped perpetuate the idea that political protesters are shrill, self-important fools wonders why more students aren't involved?
