Both SG parties are less than impressive
By the Editorial Board | Sep. 30, 2007The time of the Student Government election is upon us. And you know what that means: The Alligator's endorsement will be bestowed on the most-deserving parties and candidates - or withheld because we think no one has any clue what they're doing.

Darts & Laurels
By the Editorial Board | Sep. 27, 2007Now that Tasergate is winding down, we've been turning up the tunes and dancing around the newsroom. The clubs downtown ain't got nothin' on the movers and shakers in the Department of Darts & Laurels. Actually, the only reason we had time to write this is because our Spice Girls' CD is skipping, so we're giving the old boom box a break. While we listen to nothing but commercials on the radio, we'll bring you this week's toe-tappin' edition of…

Legislators over Board
By the Editorial Board | Sep. 26, 2007Back in July, the Board of Governors decided to raise tuition at Florida universities by 5 percent - without the Legislature's approval.

UF Takes It Off
By the Editorial Board | Sep. 23, 2007When we heard seven UF women are featured in this month's issue of Playboy, we immediately ran to the nearest gas station to buy a copy for our office.

Darts & Laurels
By the Editorial Board | Sep. 20, 2007It would be an understatement to say we're glad it's Friday. This all Andrew Meyer, all the time coverage has just about driven us here in the Department of Darts & Laurels over the edge. But nonetheless, we're here for this week's recap of Tasergate. So read on, brave souls. If you don't, we might Taser you. Enjoy this week's "Don't Tase me, bro" edition of…

Gator's dull platform lacks depth, new ideas
By the Editorial Board | Sep. 19, 2007Considering all that's happened this week - Andrew Meyer, Tasers, UPD, worldwide news coverage and so on - everything else just seems boring in comparison. Take, for instance, the Gator Party platform.

Tainted Paint

Thanks to Technology
By the Editorial Board | Sep. 18, 2007We'd be lying if we said we weren't overwhelmed with the response to Monday's event. We're overwhelmed with the work it's generated for our newsroom, but mostly we're overwhelmed by the community's response.

A Senseless Death
By EDITORIAL BOARD | Sep. 16, 2007Only a few hours after a UF student died, presumably in an alcohol-related car accident, UF President Bernie Machen used the news to fuel the fire against underage drinking.

Darts & Laurels
By EDITORIAL BOARD | Sep. 13, 2007It's been a busy week for the Department of Darts & Laurels. So much has been going on around campus. We've been so busy gathering quotes for "Overheard in Gainesville" and avoiding the Turlington preacher, we've barely had time to cross West University Avenue for a bite to eat or a pitcher to drink. Somehow we managed. But we also managed to bring you a special all UF, all the time edition for this week's…

Red Scare
By Editorial Staff | Sep. 12, 2007They move around, barely visible to the naked eye. In silence, they attack their victims and leave us in agonizing pain when all we want to do is get to class. No, not terrorists. We're talking about the newest sadistic wave taking over Gainesville.

Silenced, Student Senate shouldn't censor Accent
By Editorial Staff | Sep. 12, 2007We hate to say it, but one Student Government organization is actually doing something right. Not everything, mind you, but we'll give credit where credit's due.
