Gator Watch: New safety program needs to step it up
By The Alligator Editorial Board | Nov. 11, 2008No one likes to hear stories about drunken driving, drunken fighting or getting caught drunkenly relieving yourself on a wall outside a bar. We don't like these stories because they always end with some form of the meaningless slogan "Drink Responsibly."

Opposing team’s fans deserve respect
By Noelle Shema | Nov. 9, 2008Shame on you, University Athletic Association staff. Herding Rollins College's fans around from section to section like cattle during the men's basketball game Thursday night was disgraceful.

Comeback Kid
By The Alligator Editorial Board | Nov. 9, 2008Remember "Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey"? The movie told the tale of two dogs and a cat who got separated from their owners and were forced to trek through the wilderness to get back home. They fought porcupines, fat animal control employees and - worst of all - random holes in the ground. In true family movie fashion, the trio overcame all the obstacles to make it back to their family.

University Police officer overstepped boundaries at Election Bash
By Perpetua Chery | Nov. 6, 2008Nov. 4 should have been one of the best days of my life. However, that historic moment was tainted for me by the actions of a UF police officer. As I was walking into the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom to join my friends for the Elections Bash, a police officer grabbed me by the arm and pulled me toward her. While wagging her index finger in my face, she told me three times, "Don't you ever push me when you walk past me."

Republican Party should return to its conservative roots
By JONATHAN LOTT | Nov. 6, 2008I think everyone in this country can agree to just be happy the election is over. Granted, some of us, namely those who supported Sen. John McCain, are bound to be disappointed. An objective analysis of the situation shows us that, despite our best efforts, the election was ours to lose. The future of our party is clear and hopeful.
