We realized years ago that constant noise affects our mental health. It was only recently, however, that the World Health Organization published a report on the physical fallout of living in a loud atmosphere. This goes beyond hearing implications; WHO even went as far as to point to heart problems that may derive from coping with noises our bodies weren’t meant to handle.

Two bills working their way through our state legislature are aimed at bringing public schools into the digital age. They would either require 50 percent of materials spending to go toward digital books and e-readers, as in the Florida House’s version of the bill, or test the waters with certain schools investing in said technology.

As many of you have discovered, the price for student season tickets to Gators football games has increased for the 2011 season. The price has jumped from $70 to $105, an increase of 50 percent that has some students reeling. But before you complain about the change, keep a few things in mind.

Let us apologize for going back on our word.

Be on your toes today, Gators. You’ve got to stay sharp, lest you fall victim to another lame April Fool’s joke.

In case you haven’t heard, our favorite obnoxiously large supermarket chain is pleading its case in front of the U.S. Supreme Court as it tries to avoid the largest job bias class action lawsuit ever. We don’t know yet if Walmart actually will go to trial over claims of sexism on the job, but we do know the court is split along gender and there are an incredible number of variables to keep in mind when considering a lawsuit with some 1.6 million people involved.

Remember Marco Rubio?

Every one of us hopes that, in a crisis, our university’s security measures will come through and help mitigate the threat posed to students, faculty and staff. That hope was snuffed out for many Virginia Tech students following the infamous 2007 shooting, and the Department of Education is trying to send campus officials a message with a $55,000 fine in return.

As is the case with many of our constantly evolving technological developments, our legal system hasn’t quite caught up to the capabilities of current cellphones and the phenomena they spawn.

Professors might want to rethink how their students perceive them. In a study published in the March issue of Learning, Media and Technology, researchers found that professors who reveal a bit of their personal lives are viewed as being more credible and more caring by students.

It may come as a surprise, but we aren’t language purists.

With one in 17 of us living with a serious mental illness, it should raise some eyebrows when our state decides to cut all funding to adult mental health services.

You don’t have to be a woman to appreciate the advances Geraldine Ferraro made in her 1984 shot at the vice presidency. After her death on Saturday, we’ve been realizing that she, along with others of her ilk, have been changing our nation far more than the requisite history-class mention would have us think.

Spring‘s officially underway, Gators. With Sunday evening’s equinox in the books, we’re prepared to enjoy our weekend or two with decent weather before our sidewalks turn into lava flows.

It looks like we won’t be able to park ourselves in front of our computer and read whatever books we feel like for days on end. That’s what we had planned if Google got its way and started to fulfill its goal of scanning all the books the world has to offer.

Hey, Mike, we just wanted to let you know that just because you wield that enormous gavel doesn’t mean people aren’t going to call you out for changing your mind on ethics.

The idea of screening welfare candidates and recipients for drugs didn’t come out of the blue. Gov. Rick Scott hinted at it during his campaign. In fact, it was one of the few things we thought Scott was on the right track with.

After a weekend that saw numerous powerhouses get smacked down by teams ranging from the Spiders to the “whointhehell?”, the Gators lived up to expectations and their inflated seeding, pounding the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos to within an inch of their lives before sliding by UCLA and into the Sweet 16 (or the “fourth round” for those unwilling to infringe on new tradition grounded in irrationality.)

The president must understand our fears about the situation in Libya. Why else would he stress his understanding of the risks of any military action? Why would he emphasize and repeat his intentions of keeping U.S. troops off Libyan soil? Obama is seeing what we’re seeing — a frighteningly familiar scenario of international forces intervening in a country on the brink, complete with the undertones of terrorism and the memorable words of a crazy dictator. We’ve seen this movie before, and we know how it goes. Or do we?
