Florida’s season came to a disappointing close Friday night, but one Gator left Cleveland as a national champion.
Three days after Florida snagged a share of its first American Lacrosse Conference title with a dramatic upset of No. 2 Northwestern, Vanderbilt didn’t let the Gators take the crown outright without a fight.

UF students may be happy to hear that their tuition won’t greatly increase this fall, but it may mean cuts to academic programs and employee benefits.
People mock what they don’t understand. Last fall, our country witnessed a string of suicides by gay teens as a result of bullying. These teens weren’t mocked for who they were — they were mocked because of who people assumed they were because of the labeling and gay stereotypes that have been forced upon us by specific members of our community.
In response to Bob Minchin’s column on Friday, I find it surprising that one who is appalled by intrusive government agencies and overbearing regulation believes government intrusion and regulation is necessary in the case of unwanted pregnancy. I guess I was wrong to assume a “true conservative” is actually conservative and not just a shill parroting the Republican party line.

With Tax Day here, we’ve come across news saying taxes collected on our nation’s top 400 incomes amount to 10 percentage points less than those collected in 1992. Sounds crazy compared to the average drop of 0.6 percentage points, doesn’t it? Well, keep in mind that 45 percent of American households pay no income taxes, according to the Tax Policy Center.
