But with a 10:40 a.m. class and a desperately needed shower, you swallow your pride and brave the streets.
Johnathan Lott's column on the need to increase the quality of education at UF is well-intentioned but terribly misguided.

She's a spectacle, and just like rubberneckers passing a five-car pileup, Americans can't seem to look away.
Last Wednesday College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Dean Paul D'Anieri revealed possible CLAS budget cuts which, if implemented, would reduce funding for the Department of Religion at UF by 65 percent. This would leave the department with a mere four faculty members and would likely end the graduate program.
