UF's College of Public Health and Health Professions has decided it likes things the way they are.
Paul Murty's Monday column was so shamefully dishonest that I felt I had to respond. He claims the Republicans are not listening to voters, when it is the Democrats in Congress who have pushed through multiple 1,000-plus page bills they haven't read (and have broken campaign promises by not giving the public time to read them, either). The latest Pew poll shows only 34 percent support for the new congressional health plan, with an opposition of 47 percent. And the opposition is growing. Mr. Murty, it is not the Republicans who are ignoring the will of the people.
The Senate chambers were a bit more crowded than usual Tuesday night when about 30 students stuffed into rows and crowded the aisles to discuss an upcoming resolution regarding a report on last winter's Gaza conflict.
Israel has repeatedly defied United Nations resolutions. What other developed country in the world would be allowed this lawless refusal to abide by UN resolutions? Moreover, since its occupation of the Palestinian Territories in 1967, Israel has not implemented one single resolution stipulating its withdrawal from the occupied territories and refraining from all activities in these territories.
This letter is to commend President Bernie Machen for an extremely prompt response to an e-mail I wrote to him regarding the rusting hulks of bicycles that have dotted campus since I arrived in fall 2008 as a graduate student. I wrote this e-mail Monday afternoon expressing my dismay at having to constantly dodge the rusty carcases of abandoned bikes, and was pleasantly surprised to receive a personal response that evening. Further, a phone call came from the appropriate person at UPD the next morning, with a pledge that the issue would be handled immediately. When I arrived at ARCH today, the worst of the problem was gone. Kudos to President Machen for making the time to care about the small problems.
This is in response to Paul Murty's article on Monday that could only be described as a "slaughter of logic." Paul, your article was nothing short of a biased attempt to prove that the Republicans are all evil, racist Halliburton employees who rape women. I am not kidding. At one point in your article, you somehow deduce that U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson was a racist for saying "you lie" to Obama.
I am writing to give my full support behind Tuesday's Alligator editorial, "Public Porn." Reading that a brave patron of Library West had the courage to turn in this "jerking-class hero," Christopher Wallace, did nothing short of erect a smile on my face.
Last month, an interracial couple seeking a marriage license was turned away by a Louisiana justice of the peace on the grounds that their marriage was "mixed." The refusal was met with an eruption of criticism from civil rights groups and public officials, including Louisiana's governor, Bobby Jindal.
I don't know when we, as a culture, got this idea that reading in any form is better for kids than watching TV or playing video games.
The death of Erin Pelton Monday night is a tragedy to say the least. A 2008 UF graduate with an animal biology degree, she aspired to become a veterinarian, and friends say she had a promising future.
(Writer) Bobby Callovi (Jerry Hughes for Heisman) def. (R) Ben Volin (Rollin' with Volin) 149-99: Callovi hands Volin only his second loss of the season. North Carolina State QB Russel Wilson (42) and Georgia Tech RB Jonathan Dwyer (36) go off to lead Callovi, and Volin's top scorer was his defense LSU (23). Fantasy is all about offense and Volin had none.
