Block the block: Proposed tuition change is unfair for students
By The Alligator Editorial Board | Nov. 3, 2010Imagine going to a coffee shop, ordering your typical 12-ounce latte and being charged for a 20-ounce drink.

Amendment Showdown
By Alligator Editorial Board | Oct. 27, 2010We see you’ve made it through your near booklet of a sample ballot, filling in the bubbles for the best candidates (in black ink because apparently blue is just not acceptable) as we work our way through the endorsements of major political candidates. But you still have local races, judges to not reappoint (read: Charles T. Canady) and lots of amendments to bravely work your way through. Luckily, we’re not going to abandon you in the wake of a mind-numbing panic of legalese. Stay with us as we present you with your very own and possibly very first This-Looks-A-Lot-Like-Darts-&-Laurels-But-It’s-Really-Not edition of Amendment Showdown.

By The Alligator Editorial Board | Oct. 21, 2010As we approach our fourth consecutive weekend that will not produce a Gators football win and blissfully approach the orange-and-black-draped pseudo holiday that makes it OK to be nearly naked, we can’t help but wonder where all this time has gone.

Justice for some: Administration not exempt from obeying law
By The Alligator Editorial Board | Oct. 19, 2010We’re proud of our justice system in this country. We don’t imprison Nobel Peace Prize winners like China does, unless you count that whole Martin Luther King Jr. situation when we threw the book at him for being black.
