Hundreds of volunteers dedicated their time to help better the Gainesville community at the annual United Way Day of Action on Wednesday.
There won't be any tailgating. There won't be anyone scalping tickets. There won't even be alcohol, much less drunk fans playing beer pong along University Avenue with ESPN blaring from a TV in the background.
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."
Zach Mayo's column in Tuesday's Alligator, "UF should keep cheap food options," should set off a firestorm of protests and lead to the canning of whoever is responsible for these exploitive food prices. There is no reason for the prices they gouge from students at UF, except greed.
The Gators' new no-huddle offense could win them the national championship.
Gators can shop 'til they drop without dropping serious dough this evening at Fashion's Night Out.
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.
Police resumed the search this morning for a driver who was ejected into Paynes Prairie Wednesday afternoon after a crash.
Nail me to the cross because I'm about to say something not exactly flattering to the vast majority of the Alligator readership.
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.
Student Senate heated up Tuesday night as when senators passed a $14.4 million budget, which is comprised of Student Activity and Service fees.
Student Government's political parties wrapped up interviews to fill the 50 open Senate seats at the Reitz Union Tuesday.
A St. Petersburg man was transported to Shands at UF after allegedly stealing a Department of Transportation pickup truck and crashing into seven vehicles on University Avenue Tuesday.

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.
Don't expect to get somewhere quickly on Main Street - at least not for another two years.
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.
