Maybe we should make taxes more fun. We'll borrow the appeal of the lottery, and everyone will have a good time while raising needed funds for education.
I am writing in response to your article on Booze for Boobs. Although I think the organizers had their hearts in the right place - raising funds for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization - the event title is offensive to those of us who work in the field of breast-cancer care.
Oh, what a week. We hope you're finally done with all your awful midterms, papers and the other stuff that's been keeping you from going out and having a good time. So take this weekend to sit back and have a few (or more than a few; we won't judge) drinks. Go on. You deserve it. Just make sure you're sober enough to read this week's intoxicating edition of…
Halloween is a couple of weeks away, which means now is the time to start thinking about what we want to be on that very special day.
I would like to thank UF Campus NOW for its glowing column regarding the benefits and conveniences abortions offer to women.
I'm writing in response to the guest column on abortion. A few completely obvious points were forgotten.
There's a new bill of rights in town.
Over the past few days, the Alligator has featured columns about virginity - virginity in terms of sex and adulthood. Let's address birth control. Let's discuss specifics of the pre-nasty. There's no virginal talk in this column.
New ticket system needed
The Pro-Life Alliance demonstrated Monday its belief that the "life" of the fetus matters more than the life of a woman.
I've never been afraid of any place I've lived like I'm scared of Gainesville. Every time I am on the streets, I keep my guard up and my senses sharp, wary of an unstoppable monster striking me down in the prime of my life.
Nearly two months after Gainesville banished panhandling, I'm giving a D-minus to Gainesville's "Give a Better Way!" program for refurbishing old parking meters into collection stations.
The policy panel formed to discuss appropriate police practices after the Andrew Meyer Tasering incident is an absolute travesty.
While I appreciate his interest in the Student Senate, Will Foster has managed to latch on to one phrase while entirely missing the point of Shannyn Schott's letter.
UF wants your digits.
Shannyn Schott, an alumna who should have been labeled as such, should spend more time reading the Alligator and less time venting about "liberal bias." When did supporting school vouchers, limiting affirmative action and advocating for higher SAT and grade point average requirements (instead of need-based testing) for Bright Futures become causes célèbres among liberals? Never. Schott is either to the right of Genghis Khan or doesn't understand the political spectrum.
I read Vincent Massaro's Monday column, and it pretty much made me ashamed for my generation. How does a senior get off with never having a committed job or any real-life experience? I applaud his late but much-needed realization that he should grow up. However, I'm disgusted that anyone could be this lazy.
The donation meters set up to raise money for the Alachua County Coalition for the Homeless and Hungry have failed.
