Two people, including a pregnant woman, plummeted 15 feet on Thursday when the landing in front of their unit in Lyons Apartments gave way.
The Independent Florida Alligator will hold an open house today from 2 to 5 p.m. to meet students interested in reporting, copy editing, graphic design, cartooning, generating online content and more.
What a surprise. President Machen doesn't like Budweiser marketing orange and blue beer cans in Gainesville.
What incredible happy news I first thought from reading the Alligator headlines on Aug. 27: "Machen: No more cuts." On the Web site version, I found a less misleading headline for the story: "Machen predicts end to budget cuts." The "end" of budget cuts will happen after we have "more" budget cuts. I liked the positive quotes from Machen: "economy seems to be stabilized," "gonna be a positive year after a 'negative year.'" All preceded by he's "ready to predict there will be no more cuts to UF's budget next spring."
After hearing many people voice their concerns over the possible funding decreases from our Collegiate Readership Program, I wanted to take this opportunity to set the record straight on a few things and hopefully assuage some of your fears.
UF scientists have just released a tasty creation.
The Florida volleyball players had a lot to learn and little time to put it all together before their 2008 season began &n-; from how drills were run to what certain terminology meant even each other's names.
Michelle Jacobs is only a few inches tall during third and fourth period Thursdays - unless you zoom in on her.
This fall, students may have more to prepare for than just exams.
Defensive tackle Lawrence Marsh missed practice Thursday with a sprained ankle.
Next time you're on your knees in a dark frat house getting beaten with a sack of doorknobs, try calling Urban Meyer for help.
If you're anything like us, fall is one big wake-up call (and if you're even more like us, you totally missed your 7 a.m. wake-up call on Monday).
Gainesville is not the least bit chilly, but UF just got a little cooler after the Sierra Club Magazine recently placed the school No. 15 on its third annual "Cool School" list with an "A" grade.
Gainesville Police are still searching for a man who was involved in an attempted armed robbery of a family early Thursday morning.
Long lines, pricey books and empty shelves are often the norm for students during the first week of classes.
Just over a week after UF sent notices to many of the 60 employees being laid off, UF President Bernie Machen announced an initiative to use $10 million in stimulus money to hire up to 100 new faculty this year.
Why is it that our Student Government does not allow students to know what is going on? During my time at UF, I have seen a Student Government steeped in mystery and one that rarely interacts with the student body. I have seen SG officials ignore students, break the law and show an overall discontent for the issues facing us. As the lawsuit filed by Frank Bracco demonstrates, SG does not want us to know what is going on. SG has not only denied individuals the right to know what happens at public meetings, but it even goes so far as to not allow students to have the voting records of our elected officials, including our Student Body president who sits on the Board Of Trustees.
At Tuesday night's meeting of the Student Senate, the Unite Party passed a bill called the Executive Order Establishment Act, a bill that represents a serious threat to the democratic process within Student Government.
