I appreciate the Alligator sending a reporter to cover a local fundraising event. However, I am sorely disappointed with its lack of sensitivity and misinformation.
In Ian Shtulman's Monday letter to the editor, most of Shtulman's "evidence" grows out of the mass anti-vaccine rage following an October 2006 article by Tom Jefferson that was full of speculation. The rest of the scientific community, in virtual unanimity, has agreed that the flu vaccine is both safe and effective.
"There is no context that makes murder acceptable," Bryan Griffin said in his Tuesday column.
The Bowl Championship Series poll is as biased as the sky is blue.
In the 2004 comedy "Mean Girls," main character Cady put into words what everyone had been thinking for years: "Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it."
In a Monday Alligator article, four UF professors and associate professors were mentioned as signing a statement backing Bill Ayers and opposing his "demonization." These four members of UF faculty should be ashamed of themselves, as well as the rest of the people nationwide who signed this disgusting document.
College students pride themselves on being the most optimistic, innovative and take-action demographic in this country. Our generation in particular is said to be more committed to solving social injustices than any generation before us, but it seems as if college students have lost their giddy enthusiasm and unrelenting optimism.
The college degree you're working so hard to get doesn't mean jack. Last week, I mentioned a professor at New Mexico University, Marcus Ross, a paleontologist who believes dinosaurs walked the earth more than 65 million years ago but is also a Young Earth creationist. Yeah, doctorates don't mean a damn thing anymore.
There must be something in the water on the Atlantic side of the U.S. because people over here are making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
In the past five years of the Internet's existence, has their been a more welcome addition than good ol' YouTube?
Boy were we disappointed when we got to the HOWL-o-ween Dog Costume Contest at UF's Equine Auditorium.
The theme of the 2008 presidential campaign, as with many others, has been a continued focus on topics extraneous to the core of our country's problems.
Sen. John McCain, please stop the nonsense. I'm tired of hearing about Ayers and ACORN. The roller-coaster economy needs your attention.
As a former Student Senator and a current student, I must say that Homrich-Micocci's guest column was factually inaccurate on many levels. I have sat on committees that discussed many of the problems he addressed. I am disgusted at the lack of insight or research into anything.
I urge everyone to think twice before getting this year's flu vaccine. While getting a little jab in the arm and saving yourself from illness sounds like a great deal, it's really not.
On Friday, Kevin Homrich-Micocci's column was largely dedicated to an informative summary of the poor decisions, mishaps, lies and conspiracies recently perpetrated by the UF administration and its lapdogs in the Gator Party. However, he also somehow found reason to praise the Gator Party's ability to "get something done" and criticize the Orange and Blue Party's "impotence."
Presidential candidates should be very clear on every issue, especially national security. For example, President Ronald Reagan emphasized the role of a strong military in keeping the peace. His policy eventually resulted in our Cold War victory and helped cause the breakdown of the Soviet Union.
On a November morning in 1982, California residents awoke to see a San Francisco Chronicle story about Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tom Bradley with a headline boasting "Bradley Win Projected."
The 2008 presidential election is less than three weeks away, and Sen. Barack Obama is slightly ahead in most national polls.
It seems that the powers that be have lost their concern for the opinions of the UF student population. This year, we have been misrepresented and ignored by many of the different groups within our university.
