My name is Frank, and I used to be a senator. For the past 12 weeks, I served as a replacement senator in the Student Senate, and my term ended last Tuesday at the end of the last Senate summer session meeting.
Johnathan Lott/s July 30th column is either deliberately misleading or laughably misinformed, possibly both. He implies that if marginal tax rates go up, the government will take "56 percent of every dollar" that a wealthy person earns. Is UF/s economics department really so bad that an economics junior doesn/t understand marginal tax rates? Honestly?
KBR, the former Halliburton subsidiary that/s now the Army/s largest contractor, is a threat to the safety of our servicemen and servicewomen.
The man charged with 25 counts of battery last April has gotten his comeuppance.
During UF's run to a national title in 2006, David Nelson, a redshirt freshman, was one of several young receivers - including Percy Harvin, Louis Murphy and Riley Cooper - learning from the likes of Dallas Baker and Andre Caldwell.
As if university students who smoke didn/t have enough to worry about already, UF will ban cigarette smoking on campus beginning in July 2010. Healthy Gators is quick to point out that only 9 percent of UF students smoke. But just because someone is in the minority doesn/t mean their rights should be taken away. Last we checked, this was America.
Glee for green has been a long time coming in this country. What started out as an almost underground burlap sack movement has sprung into a multibillion-dollar enterprise and an entire culture, even generation, of planet-conscientious actions.
Former Gainesville Police Department Lt. Bill Billings has finally faced the music.
The men's basketball team's season is already off to a better start than last year.
During last Tuesday/s Student Government Senate meeting, I was rather disturbed by certain comments that were made asking the Alligator to not report the events that transpired. Indeed, the reporter was specifically singled out and told to withhold publishing that the majority party voted down a string of proposed ethics legislation when they had done just that.
Matthew Christ/s column Tuesday was tired and a failed attempt at entertaining readers.
Brian Miller/s column in Thursday/s Alligator showed his complete ignorance of basic economics and federal revenue code.
HOOVER, Ala. - Let's all take a minute and give thanks for the gift of Steve Spurrier.
I was struck by Roberta Roberts/ article on Magic Hat Beers arriving in Florida because it came across as an advertisement for a bar in the guise of a legitimate story.
I was enjoying Jon Silman's article about country music recently (Country music offers support, advice for all stages of life - July 16).
I miss President George W. Bush, "Dubya" as I affectionately called him. I don't miss his policies or politics, but the material he and his administration gave me as a commentator.
Texting while driving is a scenario that is familiar to most students at UF, and the concept of cell-phone-addicted-screaming-girl is a trope that is ubiquitous in our current pop culture. (We recently saw it in an episode of the Jonas Brothers/ TV show, so like, even babies know about it. Don/t ask.)
Want to live longer? As it turns out, we may have the answer. A report in the July 10 issue of Science showed a dramatic difference between the lifespan of two different sets of Rhesus monkeys in a 20-year study. The results were so shocking that scientists already began seeking additional funding for another 20 years of research.
HOOVER, Ala. - It's a small world for Ole Miss rising star quarterback Jevan Snead.
