A rickety economy has not stopped UF from spending about $584 million on science and engineering research in the 2008 fiscal year, earning the university a spot in the nation's top 20 in terms of research funding.
It was reported in the Sept. 29 edition of the Alligator that Joseph McCabe was a UF student senator. While he still officially held his seat until Tuesday night, when his term ended, McCabe withdrew from the university on Sept. 14, according to the Office of the University Registrar. The registrar's office initially provided incorrect information, listing McCabe as an enrolled student, but confirmed Tuesday he had withdrawn.
Senate rocked to a new beat Tuesday night when new senators were sworn in and old senators said goodbye.
When Florida's starting quarterback takes the field at Tiger Stadium on Saturday night, he will have gone through a week of prank calls from LSU fans.
The Dove World Outreach Center phenomenon is getting ridiculous. I understand that in the United States we support a plurality of opinion and the concept of free speech. However, since when do we passively allow blatant hatred and bigotry to go unchecked? Though I don't typically lecture people on the absolutes of "right" and "wrong," this is definitely an instance in our lives where we need to take a step back and say, "Damn it, that is wrong!"

I recently had the opportunity to visit FoCo, and one of my main activities during my three-day stay was drinking beer. Chastise me all you want, but I'm no lush. Fort Collins has a population only slightly larger than that of Gainesville, but it hosts an astounding five craft breweries. Each has an impressive selection of both standards and seasonals, but only Fort Collins Brewery distributes to Gainesville (as far as I know). I spent a whole day biking from brewery to brewery; for considerably less expense, you can have a taste without leaving the city limits.
If you're like me and things like, say, roller coasters and horror movies terrify you to the point of near panic, I would advise against a trip to Universal's Halloween Horror Nights.
While a college student appreciates anything complimentary, it certainly does not mean our standards of food are any lower than the average person. Last year, I remember walking on Turlington Plaza after my morning class and grabbing a free hot dog and soda, graciously provided by a local church. For a college student, anything that is not Ramen noodles or mac 'n cheese and is also free is as good as a New York strip steak.
