Column: Post-mortem, post-Trump rally musings

I’ve deliberately abstained from writing about the 2016 election. In both the Alligator and elsewhere, we are so constantly bombarded with election coverage and “hot takes” that I think the last thing the world needs is another college kid’s narrow perspective. However, I feel the need to describe my experience last Friday at the University of South Florida Sun Dome.

Column: UF admissions decisions - it's a family affair

Like so many other students, I spent the majority of last Friday worrying about impending admissions decisions and whether I’d be sharing a campus with my brother yet again. At 6 p.m. sharp, my family and I sat around our living room, eagerly watching him refresh the page over and over. Our phone started ringing, with a parent frantically asking questions about his or her child’s admission to UF’s Pathway to Campus Enrollment program, most of them derivatives of “What the hell is a PaCE program?” While my mom made an attempt at consolation, my brother finally triumphed over the UF server.

Editorial: Our Spring 2016 SG endorsement - ?

It is no secret that, historically, we at the Alligator typically endorse the minority party in Student Government elections. However, given the past year of what we feel has been inconsistency, a distinct lack of transparency and flagrant immaturity from both parties, we have decided to forego firmly endorsing either Impact Party or Access Party as a whole. Instead, we aim to promote a culture of unification and accessibility, which we believe begins with the installment of online voting.
