14 days still not enough time for Meyer to fix UF’s offense

Block tuition a discriminatory policy
By Mitchell Norton | Oct. 27, 2010Francisco Sotomayor’s Tuesday letter completely ignores the struggles of working-class students. Sure, block tuition might be great for someone who wants to take underwater basket weaving, but some of us actually have to work to get through college.

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.

Rainey’s situation handled correctly
Oct. 26, 2010Chris Rainey will probably see the field Saturday. That’s not a guarantee. Don’t take it to the bank. Like anything related to the UF football team, fans won’t actually know until the game starts.

Columnist a Republican automaton
By Nick Osborne | Oct. 26, 2010Stephanie Strasser criticizes the “life-changing” results of the 2008 presidential election, but then resorts to the same rhetoric used by the 2008 Obama campaign, telling Americans that we should “vote for a change.”

Meek not right for endorsement
By Courtney Enright | Oct. 26, 2010It’s time to stop pretending to be “independent.” What a surprise the Editorial Board endorses Kendrick Meek and Alex Sink for senator and governor respectively.

Not fondi of Bondi
By The Alligator Editorial Board | Oct. 26, 2010If a voter wants experience in the race for top attorney in Florida, both the Republican and Democratic choice fits the bill.

Alligator chose wrong when endorsing Sink for governor
By JOHNATHAN LOTT | Oct. 26, 2010It’s a shame after nearly four years here, I’ve yet to see anything unexpected come out of the editorial page of this newspaper. Tuesday’s not-quite-glowing endorsement of Alex Sink drew yet another yawn.
Opinion
Voters should watch Monday’s gubernatorial debate before voting
By Michael George | Oct. 26, 2010While I was not shocked that the Alligator endorsed Alex Sink for governor, I was disappointed. Instead of explaining the issues it agreed with Sink on, it spent the entire editorial bashing Rick Scott, making a number of false statements about his campaign.

Now’s not the time for high-speed rail
By Victoria Phillips | Oct. 26, 2010In theory, the high-speed rail line linking Orlando to Tampa is a great idea. In practice, there are many more roadblocks the state of Florida needs to pass before the railway is even plausible.

Reader encourages everyone to cast conservative votes
By Stephanie Strasser | Oct. 25, 2010As the Nov. 2 elections draw near, tension across campus practically hangs in the air like UF’s humidity. For the United States, this upcoming election is more than just big — it’s life-changing.

Block tuition a good idea for students
By Francisco Sotomayor | Oct. 25, 2010I really like the idea of block tuition. While I appreciate Matthew Christ’s viewpoint, I think he’s looking at block tuition all wrong.

‘Intactivists’ signal the demise of America
Oct. 25, 2010Florida’s capital might be technically set among the foul-smelling hills and dales of Tallahassee, but Miami is the real epicenter for the patented brand of flagrant weirdness that marks our state as a global destination for charlatans and miscreants of every stripe.
