A UF student senator representing off-campus students is doing so from a few hundred miles away - at least technically.
Meet the Tim Tebow of kicking.
PALM BEACH - A show of hands made it obvious that reseeding the NFL playoffs wasn't such a good idea.
The recent furor over the way China handled the Tibetan riot only highlighted the wide cultural gap between the Western World and China. From an ethnic Chinese point of view, the Tibetan uprising violated two extremely important rules of social conduct within the Chinese society.
I woke up last week in a feverish sweat that had nothing to do with a possible flu.
I began my term as Student Senate president excited about leading a two-party Senate that would exercise dynamic debate to create fresh ideas and new perspectives for the student body. In order to accomplish that, however, I believe its necessary that we consider senators not based on their party affiliation but rather on the ideas and goals they have to improve the University of Florida.
One year ago today, Gainesville Police Department Lt. Corey Dahlem took to the streets to protect revelers of UF's men's basketball national championship. In the early hours of April 3, 2007, a drunken driver hit Dahlem, and he died the next day.

After the Raconteurs got burned a few years back for proclaiming to NME that "Broken Boy Soldiers" would be their answer to Nirvana's "Nevermind," they apparently decided to dial down the hype machine.
I don't watch much television, especially late-night shows. Conan, Letterman, the whole bunch - I just don't find them funny. But worse than all the others, in my mind, is Jay Leno. Though I shiver at the thought, I could sit through a Fall Out Boy concert in its entirety before I could do the same for "The Tonight Show." To top it off, Leno is so lacking in wit that his only apparent back-up is bigotry.
Admit it, ladies.
Nightmare of You is not a hardcore band (however misleading their name may be), it is not a pop-punk band and the members are not fighting against their roots.

Committee meetings broke Florida law
I can't help but wonder if recent letters defending China's "liberation" (invasion) of Tibet were penned by Chinese Communist Party members doing student work at UF. This is the official party line in a country without a free press, where opposition to one-party, communist rule is dealt with harshly and quickly. Americans remember the events of Tiananmen Square some years ago, when hundreds of student protesters were shot and killed while peacefully assembling. But the younger generation of Chinese don't; they receive information only after it has been carefully scrutinized and edited by the country's 30,000 government-employed Internet censors, among others.
