It was apparent to me when Georgia scored its first touchdown, one of which I still have my doubts about, that part of what the Southeastern Conference has stood for in its 75 years has been almost completely vanquished.
A few nights ago I experienced MTV's "A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila," a show many of my acquaintances hold in high esteem. I am just as guilty of watching my fair share of "reality" TV, but something about this show sparked a feeling of disgust. Disgust, that is, with what our society is turning into.
This is in reference to Mike McCall's glorification-of-violence column Thursday on the Florida-Georgia game: Excuse me?
I am replying to "Students wear holsters to protest" from Friday's Alligator. I understand many students might think twice about allowing concealed weapons on campus.
The fact that Zeta's national office has offered to pay for the damage caused at the Columbia Restaurant does not reflect a "common ideal of responsibility," as stated in Mr. Escribano's letter.
I am not affiliated with any Greek organization; I am, however, an alcohol awareness speaker for universities statewide and a UF junior.
While I can understand why Mr. Duffey - acting president of disgraced Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity, which is suspended through 2011 - does not understand the embarrassment Zeta's function brought to our university, I don't see how anyone else can miss it.
In a shocking development, one of UF's Greek chapters has done it again. As Ben Franklin once put it, "In this world nothing is certain but death, taxes and UF Greeks getting into trouble."
No one should be surprised at the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's report on the recent Tasering of Andrew Meyer at UF.
While I understand that it is a great accomplishment for a sorority to donate thousands of dollars to breast cancer awareness, this does not cancel out the fact that the Zeta women (or their dates) caused damage to a cultural icon in Tampa.
"Way to embarrass all of UF"? Seriously? Am I really reading this?
I'm extremely disappointed with the publicity given to Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority in Wednesday's Alligator.
The Independent Florida Alligator should know its own history. The whole reason behind the "independent" in its title is because it could no longer associate itself with the university administration due to its commitment to investigative and unrelenting reporting on controversial issues in the 1960s and '70s.
I am writing in response to the DART issued Friday to protesters who didn't show up at the policy forum regarding Andrew Meyer's Tasering.
In response to Lawrence Mackey's stance on abortion being a selfish choice: Had my mother aborted me, I wouldn't have had to respond to such a stupid argument.
As I began reading the letters to the editor Friday about Claire Beach's column about abortion, I quickly glanced at the names of those writing the responses and was baffled to see they were written by men.
I'm writing in response to the guest column on abortion. A few completely obvious points were forgotten.
I would like to thank UF Campus NOW for its glowing column regarding the benefits and conveniences abortions offer to women.
I am writing in response to your article on Booze for Boobs. Although I think the organizers had their hearts in the right place - raising funds for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization - the event title is offensive to those of us who work in the field of breast-cancer care.
New ticket system needed
