More than 100 people marched down University Avenue on Thursday night to speak out against date rape and sexual abuse.
Inaccuracies and all, Tuesday’s feature about a certain math whiz did not bother me. As a daily reader, I have come to expect a certain level of flawed reporting, sensationalism and biases from your crack team at the Alligator.

The Hare Krishnas weren’t the only ones dishing out plates of vegan food Thursday afternoon on the Plaza of the Americas.
Accent has a fantastic history of bringing good speakers to UF. A look through past speakers on Accent’s website has names of historic figures who have shaped history and taken their time (and UF’s money) to speak in this middle-of-nowhere place of Gainesville. The self-stated goal of Accent is to bring “prominent, controversial and influential speakers” to UF. Since I have been here, the likes of Jack Kevorkian, John Kerry (see tazing incident in school history), the Mythbusters, Bill Nye the Science Guy, Mike Rowe and John Legend have all made appearances. I can tell people I’ve heard Dr. Jack speak his crazy-ass mind after he got out of jail for euthanizing all those people or that I was there when that Meyer kid made a national storm by being a fool.

Having hitched up its prized stallion, Rockstar Games is ready to drive back into the urban, crime-ridden streets. This time, it’s speeding all the way back to 1940s Los Angeles.
Jamie says: Lettuce wraps with fancy names don't have to be just a restaurant thing. Make your own tastier and healthier version at home. This recipe is so easy and quick to make (about five minutes) and requires very minimal clean-up (a one-bowl meal).
Soon, just wearing goggles isn’t going to be good enough.
“Christ, hurry. Brendan just bet Michigan plus-4.”
The life of a catcher isn’t glamorous.
