Major food corporations are hoping that the average American will cling to catch phrases rather than read food nutrition labels.
With the first round of exams approaching, UF may find itself with a pile of unexpected consequences.
The intelligence community hasn't exactly felt the love in the past few years.
In response to Paul Murty: Like most fair-minded people, Jesus was both a liberal on some issues and a conservative on others. He felt a great drive to understand and help the poor. He also spoke of his admiration and respect for soldiers in service of their country. He tells us to "render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and render unto God what is God's." Here we can see a broad range of reasonable views emphasized to different degrees by both liberals and conservatives.
I find it rather shocking that the Editorial Board of the Alligator so casually brushed off the actions of ACORN - the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - in their Thursday column and were so quick to vilify the filmmakers who brought the situation to light. The Editorial Board described ACORN's actions as "explaining how to run a brothel of underage 'women of the night' while evading the federal government."
I felt a responsibility to address the misguided information given by Caitlin O'Conner on human papillomavirus and Gardasil.
You're all revved up and ready for your first real football game of the season, and it's sure to be a good 'un. We know you're already parked on the couch with your Gators Snuggie and have your first pre-kickoff drink in hand-and we're happy for you, and we're gonna let you finish-but not before we present you with this week's edition of last-week's-Darts-&-Laurels-was-one-of-the-best-Darts-&-Laurels-of-all-time edition of…
Hilary Lehman's article on Wednesday was the epitome of journalistic arrogance. She argues that facts are "undebatable," and despite your opinions, some things cannot be questioned. Is this why we came to college? To accept what we're told? Or was it to learn how to think critically?
It began as any standard Sunday night would. I headed over to a friend's house to grab some food, sip a cold beer and watch "Entourage" with the boys.
As I was driving to the movies past The Oaks Mall on Sept. 11, I saw a group of anti-Islam protesters complete with "Islam is of the Devil" T-shirts. The scene was appalling, and the only consolation I found was that no one honked for them or showed support.
Reading the editorial about Gardasil now being required for female immigrants completely blew my mind. I don't understand how the government can do this and even begin to think it's acceptable.
While Student Body President Jordan Johnson can provide Fabulous Rides for those who have imbibed too much, he can't prevent his fellow SGers from driving his agenda into the ground.
Kanye West and his enduring propensity to go off-script at inopportune television moments seems to have forced the entire mainstream media into a state of apoplexy.
Somebody needs write down the hierarchy of the sidewalk, and I figure that person might as well be me.
The Robin Hood cartoon depicting President Bernie Machen is one of the best I have ever seen in this newspaper. It's a rather humorous way to touch on something so delicate as the budget cuts.
To everyone selling their ticket for more than $100: Stop ripping off your fellow students. Stop entering the lottery just to sell your tickets. Fellow students should not be paying your rent to see the Gators play. You're worse for Florida football than if Urban Meyer left for Notre Dame. I hope something extremely inconvenient happens to you this week.
The Senate should not have voted to deny funds to ACORN - the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - on account of transgressions perpetrated by a handful of employees.
Everyone has the right to decide what to put in their bodies, but a 17-year-old girl from Port St. Joe, Fla., is facing possible deportation for refusing a Gardasil vaccine.
The Obama administration should do away with the color-coded, terror-alert system instead of trying to tweak it.
What causes human beings to hate so much that they are willing to end the lives of others?
