SG votes to extend Hub hours

Students will be able to cram in a little extra on-campus study time, after senators voted Tuesday to allot $30,000 of Student Government reserve funds to keep the Hub open 20 hours a day.

Story ignores Muslim perspective

I was outraged to read Monday's story, "Demonstrators gather to protest Islam on Sept. 11," not solely due to the protesters' complete intolerance of other religions and incredibly hateful message, but also because of the way the Alligator reported the story.

Most scholarships already need-based

I know the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program is flawed, but under no circumstances should it become an entirely need-based program. What Kyle Robisch fails to realize is that basically all of the scholarships available for Florida students are need-based. I worked extremely hard in high school, and it paid off in the form of an extremely high SAT score, a 4.3 GPA, passing five out of six AP exams and becoming a sports captain. However, when it came to scholarships, I received a measly $500 after applying for about 20. The vast majority of scholarships have a need-based component. I don't see how my parent's salary has anything to do with how much I achieved in high school. If we make everything need-based, it will discourage students from doing well in school and push them to attend schools that are less scholastically renowned.

Golden rule applies to relationships

I had a friend who was really into returning lost things to their owners. One of my more resonant memories of this is the time she found a teddy bear on the sidewalk.
