Well, it looks like Florida is finally making an effort to get up to speed with the rest of the country - at least when it comes to education.
Last year, it almost happened.
Student organizations filled the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom on Monday and Tuesday with fake snow, oozing slime and ice cream to attempt to attract kids to science careers.
All of a sudden, there is a panic spreading throughout Gator Nation, and I just don't get it.
A misinformed UF student made a few false accusations Tuesday against the way SG chooses to spend its funds. It is vital for the student body to know facts, not opinions.

Drunken driving is a problem in Gainesville. As the death of Gainesville Police Department Lt. Corey Dahlem in April 2007 reminds us, this is not a problem of simply underage drinkers. It affects everyone. Solving this serious safety concern should be a priority for the entire community.
