Students overcrowd anthropology department

Gov. Rick Scott clearly touched a nerve a few weeks ago when he bashed anthropology majors, saying he thought we had too many. The local responses were furious.

Teachers use website to ask for school supplies donations

Melissa Julien's pre-kindergarten classroom in Gainesville's Myra Terwilliger Elementary School has five wooden tables, three dry-erase white boards and nine paper goldfish taped to the floor.
