Universities not investment portfolios
By RICHARD GUTIERREZ | Sep. 9, 2007After some consideration, I must admit I agree with the critics of Students for a Democratic Society's Wednesday protest. We should have done our homework and opened up a thesaurus to see "university" and "corporation" listed side by side as synonyms. I guess we missed a step and forgot that universities are no longer educational institutions, but money-making machines.

UPD, scooter owners urge safety as scooter accidents increase
By LINDSAY WEAVER | Sep. 9, 2007When Guillermo Moratorio's black and silver motor scooter collided with a black Saab earlier this semester, he was flung headfirst toward it in a front-flip that landed him sideways on the pavement. The UF senior was traveling at the 35-mile-per-hour speed limit on Southwest Second Avenue when the woman driving the car pulled out past the stop sign. Moratorio, who was not wearing a helmet, could not swerve to avoid the car and collided with the rear of the vehicle.

UF investments not grounds for protest
By MATTHEW YOUNG | Sep. 9, 2007Wherever UF's investment money may be going, it can't be construed to be funding the war in any manner. Money shuffled around on stock exchanges or bond markets never sees the company in question unless the stock or bond is being purchased directly from the company - a tiny, tiny fraction of trading volume and almost certainly not the case.

Name Game
By Editorial Staff | Sep. 9, 2007The battle rages on, and the end is nowhere in sight. As Student Government parties continue fighting over just their names, they delay qualifying for would-be senatorial candidates. This does not bode well for a smooth election season.
