As another Student Senate session comes to a close, we just have to ask, to paraphrase Janet Jackson: What have you done for us lately?
We can understand if you didn't vote Tuesday. We'd be lying if we said we never used the rain as an excuse to skip classes, including Tuesday.
With the Student Government elections happening today and Wednesday, you, the students, can have a say in what happens at UF.
By now, you've probably seen the e-mail sent by UF President Bernie Machen about the slight delay for Dr. Jack Kevorkian's Accent-sponsored speech, which has been moved to Jan. 15. Machen & Co. claim this is for the safety of students because many students have already protested Kevorkian's appearance.
Ah, a gentle breeze, the toll of the bells of Century Tower - and stacks of handbills shoved down your throat.
The 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.
Now 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.

It 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…
An anonymous e-mail sent to the Alligator around 4 a.m. Wednesday contained two photographs of two people clad in Guy Fawkes masks - most of us would recognize them from the movie "V for Vendetta."
