UF women exhibit terrible towel use
By Jessica Mackey | Feb. 8, 2009I'm writing to express my disgust for bathroom habits at UF. While I'm happy that most of us wash our hands before leaving the bathroom, I am appalled by the amount of paper towels that women find necessary to dry their hands. Friday in the library, I saw a girl use four paper towels, when you only need one. Let's try to conserve not only our resources, but our usage of space in landfills. It's a simple thought to not be wasteful.

Stimulus will ensure future prosperity
By Danny Beaulieu | Feb. 5, 2009I would like to respond to Johnathan Lott's column regarding public schools. As a side note in his column Lott wrote, "I'm still not sure how spending over $100 billion in deficit money on education will be a short-term economic stimulus."
