I wanted to comment on the new fees and on the Alligator’s commentary on them. First, let’s look at the mental health program fee the Alligator failed to comment on: “But until evaluations of UF’s mental health care finish, the money is given to SG.” What?! The Alligator accepts this?! “We want to use this money for mental health later, but for now, let’s go ahead and collect the money and throw it at SG. It’ll be fun!”
Attention Congress,
I have one question to the administration, Student Government and anyone in favor of the 25 percent hike in fees: Are you crazy? I mean are you that out of touch with reality that you would endorse such an irresponsible hike in one sitting? These tough economic times call for every American, Floridian and UF student to cut back, tighten their belts and use common sense when it comes tuition increases. I know this is a new concept for many in the upper echelon of the university, but it’s called fiscal responsibility. We should be cutting back and limiting non-educational services, not expanding them at the costly expense of Joe and Jane Student. People could argue that progress comes at a cost. I push back by saying that there is nothing wrong with delayed, systematic progress. University officials need to stop, think and then spend instead of this reckless attitude that seems to get worse with every passing school year.
I know you all have heard so much about how important it is to fill out the 2010 Census, but this is the final stretch.

Whenever we go to Midtown we have to wade through a seemingly endless amount of 18- to 20-year-olds. They edge in front of us at the bar only to stare blankly at the bartender before ordering a “roman coke” or whatever it is that grown-ups drink. They look so innocent trying to tape together a discarded wristband they found behind a Dumpster, and it’s hilarious every time we see a 19-year-old girl drunkenly crying behind Balls.
An unlikely bat rose to the occasion and hit the Gators into the next round of postseason play.
As is often true with the sport of baseball, the game stayed true to the stats.
