America not a Christian nation
By Chad Kimes | Oct. 6, 2008I'm sick and tired of the notion that America was founded on Christian values. In fact, the Constitution has clauses that attempt to bar any religion from entering government. Before you fall back on "In God We Trust," you should know that the phrase did not become the nation's official motto until an act of Congress in 1956.

Election codes help ward off volunteers
By Alexandra Butler | Oct. 6, 2008It is my first year here at UF, and I already know the horrors of Student Government elections. I asked some of my friends who had gone here if there was any way out of listening to the pointless nagging of students running for Senate, and all I got were suggestions to just avoid them. This was hardly sufficient for me, so after some investigating, I found my answer in the election codes. If you wear a "No Campaigning" sign or something to that effect, candidates are forbidden to talk to you and risk a fine if they do. With that news, I implore you all to liberate yourselves from the time-wasting politicos.
