Haiti fundraisers get fun

Sometimes extraordinary things come from ordinary people - in ordinary places. Will Thomas, 33, a common man with sharp blue eyes, works prep at The Top and plays the drums in local band Grabass Charlestons. He gets up early enough to listen to the birds on his way to work and NPR when he gets there. On this particular Tuesday morning, while working in the silver, cluttered kitchen behind shelves of clunky metal pots and pans, the UF grad knew something was wrong.

Sarcasm lost on readers

This is regarding Kyle Maistri’s article in Tuesday’s paper about playing pick-up basketball at Southwest Rec. No one should go play pick-up if they are looking to impress the guys around them. Everyone goes to play for the exercise and for the love of the game. This article epitomizes the type of player everyone at Southwest Rec hates to play with. Don’t ever switch on defense, harass anyone who calls a foul on you and then call everything. You play to win, not to look good.

Unite Party already has executive ticket chosen

Alligator, I’ve got a wager for you. I find it hilarious the Unite Party says it will be “conducting interviews” to determine its executive candidates. It’s common knowledge they have already chosen Marcus Dixon to run for vice president and Virlany Taboada to run for treasurer. Because I feel bad for the students who will come out to interview when Unite has made up its mind, I’m willing to put my reputation on the line. If I’m wrong then feel free to Dart me, Joshua Niederriter, when they announce their candidates. But if I’m right send a Dart at the party for misleading the Student Body. I hope you take me up on this offer because either way you win.
