In response to Ms. Appleton's July 15 editorial letter, I have to ask: How dangerous are scooters to students in the first place? How many on-campus accidents have there been between pedestrians and scooters?
"Hellboy 2: The Golden Army" is flashy but hardly golden. Director Guillermo del Toro's latest feature is a visual marvel, but it succumbs to the same clichés that characterize the comic book genre.

Not that it's any kind of surprise, but Tim Tebow has been named to the Davey O'Brien award watch list. There are 30 other quarterbacks on the list for the award that is given to the nation's top quarterback. The finalists will be announced on Nov. 24.

I laughed out loud when I read the latest story in the Alligator about the Student Senate once again filling a critical position in Student Government with an empty chair. The treasury job was so important to Paul Drayton that he would fill it faithfully -as long as nothing better came along. Now we learn that Student Body President Kevin Reilly, in his infinite wisdom, has decided the best person to get UF students to register to vote currently lives in Washington, D.C. On top of this, the appointee in charge of getting all students to vote, regardless of their political affiliation, happens to work for the Republican National Committee. Katherine Harris would be proud!
