UF still Florida’s top public institution

I am a faithful Alligator reader, and I must say sometimes I both agree and respectfully disagree with opinions from the Editorial Board.  However, to say UF has lost its luster as the top school in the state reflects short-sighted thinking and a lack of understanding U.S. News and World Report rankings. To tie this change in rankings to a few football game losses is an extremely immature conclusion.

Campus should enforce smoking policy

What good is a rule if there are no mechanisms in place to enforce it? I’m talking about UF’s no-smoking policy. I see people every day, all day, smoking on campus, and they’re not even having to hide because they know there’s nothing anybody can do to them. I think on-campus smokers should be ticketed for the offense. If you were to add $5 to that $4 pack of cigarettes, I bet people would think twice about lighting up on campus.
