UF shouldn't make students wait for aid
By James Samson | Sep. 10, 2009I sincerely hope the entire UF financial sector is slated for a thorough overhaul. It is nearing the end of the third week of classes, and there is still no financial aid, much less any noted 'progress' on ISIS. I have been to the Registrar's Office, Financial Affairs and Financial Services (including my dean's office) several times, and the response is always the same. No one takes responsibility, but everyone is quick with excuses and a shove out the door when in reality, it's one monetary menage a trois.

Aramark to blame for campus food prices
By Ben Dictor | Sep. 10, 2009Campus food prices are high because the university invites a company called Aramark to operate as a monopoly over all food services on campus. As a former student senator with the Progress Party, I authored bills and tried to use the power of Student Government to stop the administration from signing a new, more-than-decadelong, multimillion dollar contract with Aramark a year ago. My efforts were stopped by the majority party who acted, as usual, as a mouthpiece for the administration.
