The decision to send an additional 30,000 troops to Afghanistan is irresponsible on the part of the administration I helped put in power.

I would like to commend the UF Student Health Care Center for a very organized H1N1 flu shot procedure. The online sign-up system was very easy to find and use. I printed out the forms and had them with me. A tent was set up outside, and it took me exactly 30 seconds to check in. Arrows clearly directed me to the correct location in the infirmary, and the entire vaccination procedure took less than 5 minutes. Kudos to the staff who organized what could have been a madhouse with long lines into a very streamlined program.

College also welcomes the flirtatious, the scandalous, the irresponsible, the debased and the adorably promiscuous. We jump in and out of one another’s beds but often overlook the simpler, STD-free expressions of our sexuality.
