Health care debate ignores zombies

In a few years, Sarah Palin will be a hot forty-something with her own little media empire. The thing we may remember most about Sarah Smile, though, could be the way she hijacked the multifaceted debate about end-of-life care and turned the whole thing into a screaming match about government "death panels."

Tailgaiting: counting down to kickoff

It is not difficult to describe the palpable excitement of a Gators game day here in Gainesville. Imagine the day you were born and the first time you looked into your mother's eyes. The true and immediate comfort. The sense of belonging. Game day is like that, but with more orange.

Middle East trip reveals need for peace

Instead of working odd jobs, getting an internship or taking classes this summer like a normal college student, I decided to go to the Middle East. I spent the majority of my time in the West Bank, even though the U.S. Department of State advised to stay clear of the Palestinian territories. What I saw has completely changed my views and understanding of American foreign policy in the Middle East.

UF graduates make game day dresses

For some, orange and blue has merely become a color combination sported on game days or school-funded events. Though the colors seem to consume Gainesville in an array of fashions during Saturday football games, two UF graduates choose to take their love for orange and blue to the next level.

On-campus restaurants gouge prices

I agree with Zach Mayo's stance on the restaurant situation at UF. At a place where I pay to attend, you'd think my food would be somewhat subsidized. Instead, the opposite is true: At every eating establishment on campus, the price is hiked. In South Florida I can get an entire meal from Pollo Tropical for $3.50, here you may as well double it. I think it's wrong of UF to take advantage of its students by charging more simply because we have no other options on campus.
