Ticketmaster unfairly duped students

To me, being a Gator means going to every game in orange and blue, applauding our team and loudly booing the opposing team for even thinking it had a chance to survive entering our Swamp. I let them know this during every offensive drive, even after my throat is sore.

Album review: Snow Patrol – "A Hundred Million Suns"

Q magazine calls this album "essential," which suggests that Snow Patrol has pictures on the editors of said magazine. The two defining elements about this hook-challenged, wuss-rock are its neutrality - this is the Switzerland of pop music - and "If There's a Rocket Tie Me to It." Great title. "Take Back the City" and "Please Just Take These Photos from My Hands," which have ho-hum titles, are actually peppy, catchy little numbers. "Peppy" and "catchy" cannot otherwise be associated with this record. For those who noticed the inconsistency of this review - a neat line or two scattered amongst sketchy, bland ones - now you know what it's like to listen to "A Hundred Million Suns."

Looking for love stunts personal growth

Michael Belle's Wednesday column was very interesting to read. But I wanted to focus on one particular point I couldn't agree with more: "Becoming the right person instead of stumbling on top of the right person." A close friend and I both recently came to this conclusion!

UR Laundry iz dun ;–)

In our freshman days, when Maui Teriyaki wasn't 20 minutes away from campus, Sloppy Gator was still alive and the football team battled for a chance at the Outback Bowl (ha!), there was nothing we hated more about dorm life than doing laundry.

Insulting Republicans won’t change vote

As someone who worked against Amendment 2 and felt hurt by the results, I appreciate the general sentiment behind Todd Portnowitz's guest column, but I take serious issue with the implication that all of Sen. John McCain's supporters are unreasonable or immature voters.

Flings no substitute for relationships

I was talking with a friend the other day about how she met her boyfriend of three years. As I get older, I turn more of my attention to these stories because they have become almost as important to me as politics.

Alligator editorial reveals agenda

Wvery morning, thousands of UF students put their trust in the Alligator. They pick it up not only because it is the most popular news platform for students at UF but because they have vested their belief in the objectivity and journalistic integrity of the editors and news staff.
