Not many students showed up to the District 3 forum on Thursday, but what can you expect when there’s a basketball and baseball game on the same night?
It’s been a heck of a week around here. Every Student Government election is stressful for us, but we can never quite get used to having our entire newsroom writing stories, taking photos or shooting video at 1 a.m. on a Thursday morning.
Paramedics responded to a 911 call at the Reitz Union on Wednesday night.
After almost two months of campaigning, the hard work paid off for the Unite Party once again.
While some may see scraps on the ground as trash, UF architecture junior Mu Mudenda sees them as the opposite: precious building blocks for her one-of-a-kind jewelry line.

Many say when Meyers is president, he’ll be one of the best the university has seen.
Unite Party’s Ben Meyers and Progress Party’s Dave Schneider face off to be UF’s next Student Body president in the Student Government elections Tuesday and Wednesday.
I am frustrated with the lack of options the Student Body has in our choices for Student Body President, namely with both candidates’ opposition against block tuition. I am tired of hearing about the “vast majority” of students who take less than 15 credit hours because that is incorrect.
One of the things UF looks for during the application process is a well-rounded person. What makes a well-rounded person? It is someone who excels academically and is involved in school activities. This is something I strive to live by, as do the majority of the students here. That is what makes this school so great.

In the spring of 2009, the Progress Party was founded in an attempt to overthrow a political system composed of an entrenched group of overly entitled elites that rendered the UF Student Government completely inaccessible to the students it promised to represent.

Choosing to “Unite” the Student Body was an easy decision for me.
In a biannual tradition, the Editorial Board called in candidates from both Unite and Progress parties Sunday night to discuss the Student Government elections. With the heat on, both figuratively and literally, in our sauna-like conference room, we came to a realization: Everyone’s good.
Diversity is a value that I hold high, and I hope it is shared by the Student Body at large. My three semesters of participation in the Korean Undergraduate Student Association, as well as being the founder and president of Students for Peace in Korea, should speak for itself.
I choose to Unite because results matter. I don’t want false promises or dirty politics. I choose a party that believes in following through, campaigning hard and respecting people along the way. I choose Unite. I’ve been a part of the late-night and early-morning campaigning. More importantly, I’ve seen the dedication and long hours Unite members put in once appointed to get the results for their constituents.
