Progress Party shouldn't promote power

By Taylor Cinalli | Aug. 26, 2009

I was very disturbed to read in Wednesday's Alligator Progress Party Leader David Schneider's blatant intellectual dishonesty. To say that giving the Student Body president the unilateral ability "to create executive orders to create offices, departments and policies" would "discourage too much centralization of one power," as the article stated, is exactly the opposite of what is going to happen.

SG officials shouldn't get perks

By Jonathan Ossip | Aug. 26, 2009

Tuesday was a sad day for democracy within UF Student Government. In that night's meeting, the Student Senate voted to keep giving top SG officials perks that are out of reach for ordinary students.

Layering creates new look for old clothing

By LANE NIESET | Aug. 26, 2009

Ching-Ya Ni, 19, a UF sophomore, masters the art of boho chic in this fun and versatile school ensemble. Her layered look adds new flair to pieces found in her closet. Ni says she doesn't follow trends, but she can't wait to pull out her fall clothing this season. Try looking through your closet and pairing clothing together in new ways to create a look for fall. Adding colored tights underneath flowing dresses or shorts takes a summer look and transforms it for the winter. Also, play with different sizes of belts and boots to add a little edge to the ensemble. Mix and match different accessories that will keep your outfits looking fresh for the entire season.
