Now that the first electricity bill of the new leasing year has made its way to the mailboxes, students are scrambling to figure how to lower utility costs. Most people know about using fluorescent light bulbs and not leaving windows open while the air is running, but some tips go beyond the obvious energy-saving strategies to keep bills at bay.
It's that life lesson that came right after potty training: how to wash your hands.
The paper was right to have published the news about the students and their personal records. It just seems to be a trend that we have seen in the paper the last few weeks: a student arrested for a DUI, an entire group of people that was investigated for a large party consisting of underage drinking, and much more. All this happened within the last few months.

While I was reading the letters to the editor today, I read the article about the Unite Party members who were stealing all of the newspapers from the Graham area on Tuesday morning when the Alligator announced that several of the current senators of the Unite Party have criminal records, including Student Body President Jordan Johnson. I felt like I was suffering from a terrible case of deja vu as I recalled last fall when members of the then Gator Party stole newspapers from different campus locations when the Alligator broke the story of e-mails between top Gator Party members discussing how they were going to keep the Orange and Blue Party out of critical positions in Student Government.

For about 20 percent of the Student Body here at UF, the Student Government election season is exciting. Let's count within that group the Greeks (myself included), Hispanic Student Association, Black Student Union and other large to semi-large student groups that make up the majority coalition party in SG. Pepper in the socialists, progressives and random concerned students who make up the two minority parties and boom - we have all of the students who are currently giddy with excitement or absolutely irate over the election results. These students know (or are told) who they are going to vote for each and every election. Regardless, their votes are set.
In the span of a season, one of Florida's oldest volleyball rivalries has changed from a traditionally lopsided affair into a battle for conference supremacy.
I wholeheartedly agree with Michelle Isgut. The Alligator shouldn't report the facts in the public record.
