While I can understand why Mr. Duffey - acting president of disgraced Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity, which is suspended through 2011 - does not understand the embarrassment Zeta's function brought to our university, I don't see how anyone else can miss it.
The bats living near Lake Alice seemed a little more erratic this week, didn't they? The winds rustling the leaves of trees were a little bit creepier. And the moon is full tonight - don't be surprised if your hairiest friends go missing. Yes, it's that time of year again: Halloween.
College is all about preparing students for the real world. Through rigorous courses and specific major tracks, students have the opportunity to gain the skills necessary to land a job that will support a decent house, a big family and a couple of dogs.
Finally, there's peace. The dust has cleared. We're putting the horror and the carnage of war behind us. Seventeen Magazine has called a cease-fire in the war with our body images.
Ah, the circus is in town.
WTF, FDLE?
I'm extremely disappointed with the publicity given to Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority in Wednesday's Alligator.
The Independent Florida Alligator should know its own history. The whole reason behind the "independent" in its title is because it could no longer associate itself with the university administration due to its commitment to investigative and unrelenting reporting on controversial issues in the 1960s and '70s.
"Way to embarrass all of UF"? Seriously? Am I really reading this?
You may want to rethink that fabulous Halloween party you were planning - or at least make sure the Facebook invitation states "BYOP" - that's Bring Your Own Pumpkin.
Way to embarrass all of UF.
I'm starting to notice something here.
I have spent nearly 16 of the past 24 hours discussing the situation regarding the report and recommendations of the Student Conduct Code Review Committee.
It's already time to register for classes, and we're all too busy with this semester to care about the next.
It's UF's eternal problem. No, not too few season football tickets. Not Friday's crossword puzzle being too hard for you to finish during your chemistry lecture. Not when your professor schedules an exam for the morning after Halloween.
Planning on getting wasted in Jacksonville this weekend for the Florida-Georgia football game?
In response to Lawrence Mackey's stance on abortion being a selfish choice: Had my mother aborted me, I wouldn't have had to respond to such a stupid argument.
I am writing in response to the DART issued Friday to protesters who didn't show up at the policy forum regarding Andrew Meyer's Tasering.
As I began reading the letters to the editor Friday about Claire Beach's column about abortion, I quickly glanced at the names of those writing the responses and was baffled to see they were written by men.
