I was disappointed with Monday's article on the student ticket disaster Saturday in Atlanta.
As the public relations director for the Political Science Honor Society, I have had the pleasure of serving with Mr. Dictor over the last year on the executive board.
I was disappointed with Phil Newman's comment in Monday's article about the Pearl Harbor memorial ceremony.
Sen. Fager's letter on Sen. Ben Dictor was as poorly conceived as it was inaccurate.
Here's some news for Wes Hunt: The problems you note don't apply only to UF students.
I have a Wrestlemania theory about life.
We cannot wait for the days when we're successful UF alumni capable of showering our beloved alma mater with donated cash - a "Thank you" for good times, bad times and in-between times we thought we would forget.
How many scams have to make their way through Gainesville before its residents realize they shouldn't just look before they take an unforeseen financial leap?
Allow me to speak up before things get out of hand.
Dear Wes Hunt,
In the spirit of the holidays, President Bernie Machen has chosen to donate $285,000 - the amount of his annual bonus - to a scholarship program.
Following the lead of a couple other big universities, UF will soon be getting its own signature scents.
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.
