Imagine you're standing in line at your local deli. The person behind the counter is slicing your cheese, and you don't like the thickness of the cut.
I'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.
The tough economic times can make people do pretty crazy things.

In regards to Thursday's front cover photo I am disgusted that the Alligator decided in its infinite wisdom to publish such a blatant disregard for respect of the dead.
Another Super Bowl came and went, and did anything come from it? Personally, I didn't learn anything new or surprising.
Have you ever heard the words "journalism integrity" before? For the last two years I have watched the Alligator make a mockery out of journalism, but Thursday's story is just too much.
Biofuels, hybrid cars, conservation, polar bears, Al Gore … the list of green initiatives is endless.
After a week of weather more akin to the wondrous landscapes of New Jersey, we can only pray for warmth to retire our winter wardrobe once and for all. With temperatures dipping into the teens, the Department of Darts & Laurels dusted off our cat mittens (tail included) and discovered a newfound love for down comforters (uh-maze-ing).
Start taking notes, Facebook. MySpace just made social networking a whole lot safer.
I applaud Alex Andrade for taking pride in the Greek community, but he has been misinformed.
On Monday, Michelle Obama officially began exercising her power as first lady. Making the rounds, she toured federal agencies to praise them and make them feel like they, despite being government bureaucrats, are doing legitimate work.
