I congratulate Student Sen. Ben Dictor on making a bold move in his political career.
Mr. Hunt, your column showed a gross misunderstanding of the issues facing the UF Student Body.
Ever since the U.S. - err, George and Dick - strong-armed its way into the Middle East under the guise of the tragically flawed Bush Doctrine, Blackwater has reaped the vast financial benefits of government contracts.
I found Wes Hunt's grumbling article a waste of time and a waste of ink.
"Cause we're two truck stops off the interstate, promised land with a twist of fame, we're a town for all the lost and found, so sleep tight in this smoky room, still buzzed from this afternoon, and I may be going broke but I'm never broken down."
Think back to when you applied to college. There were piles of applications and many opportunities to go to other schools, but each of us chose to come to UF.
As a smoker on campus, I have been told to move to beyond 50 feet by a UF employee. Not nicely or properly, but in the form of walking by, saying "50 Feet!"
Here at the Editorial Board, we like money, and we aren't afraid to admit it.
Here's some breaking news for you: Going to college plus making noise with your mouth does not equal saying something intelligent. Shut up - I'm tired of hearing you blabber.
The ticketing system employed by the University Athletic Association has more than lived up to its irritating reputation this semester.
First, we would like to send a we-know-we-gave-you-a-hard-time-but-extended-hours-aren't-the-worst-idea-ever LAUREL to UF for the later closing times assigned to the libraries during the week of finals.
Daniel Seco's column made me "aw." And not the sarcastic, "poor baby, want a bottle?" kind of aw. I can sympathize because I feel like I've been there.
When I realized that extended library hours begin this week, I couldn't help but wonder why people would subject themselves to 20 hours of the UF library experience.
In yesterday's letter, Gator Party Leader Jonathan Fager claimed public debate was used by the minority to delay meetings of the Senate, giving an excuse to his party's efforts to cut off the public's voice.
The Gator Party's vote to cut off students' time to address the Student Senate - and Gator Party Leader Jonathan Fager's attempt to rationalize that decision in yesterday's letter - shows that the Gator Party just doesn't want to hear from students.
Florida received an F for affordability in higher education despite some of the lowest tuition rates in the country, but it's easy to see why.
In response to the article about this week's Senate meeting and the limiting of public debate, I would like to clarify a few things. Public debate exists to give students input in Senate, and that is what it should be used for.
Congratulations college students of Florida (the state, not the university of), your state's educational report card isn't refridgerator-worthy.
Every UF student in Gainesville should storm University Avenue when we win against Alabama in the Southeastern Conference Championship Game so we can get it out of our systems.
