First, we would like to pat ourselves on the back by giving UF a thanks-for-saving-us-money-now-and-making-us-money-later LAUREL for being ranked No. 2 on Kiplinger's list of the 100 best values in public universities.
I 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.
It's strange, really. I don't feel like a sexist.
I understand that hazing is wrong and dangerous, but if everything was voluntary, can allegations still be considered hazing?
The 2008 presidential election was a milestone in more ways than one.
While some may argue the terms "pro-life" and "pro-choice" are equally poor choices in rhetoric for how they describe abortion, I would like to go straight to the heart of the debate and shed some light as to why one expression makes more sense than the other. Abortion is about life and the value of it. While the issue certainly has social, economic and ethical components, none of this matters if a fetus is considered a life.
As a heterosexual female, facing my gay best friend after Amendment 2 declared him inferior ruined my post-election celebrations. What am I supposed to say, "Better luck next time"? Unfortunately, this isn't an Ole Miss game.
You better hope Nick Calathes really likes to play point guard.
Sitting on the floor against the wall in the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom, I had separated myself from the masses and slowly began to grasp what President-elect Barack Obama's victory meant to the black students at UF.
The Editorial Board is salivating in anticipation of the weekend. We know we're still a day away, but we can't help but look forward to it because we have the best plans for Friday night.
When I first saw a front-page story about a UF program encouraging bicycle use, I was more than excited. I am a huge cycling advocate.
It's best if I just come out and say it.
On Oct. 23, 2006, Time Magazine introduced us to Illinois Sen. Barack Obama. The publication allowed the face of a first-term U.S. senator to engulf the whole cover with the headline, "Why Barack Obama Could Be the Next President."
I am new to Florida, and I have recently registered to vote here because I knew my vote would mean a lot more in Florida than in my home state of Texas.
We know political discourse is mostly rhetoric, not debate. Abortion is the only major issue in which the words used to identify your point of view are meaningless rhetorical euphemisms.
Some time at the end of last season, when Dan Werner was moving out of his dorm room, it hit him: He was the only one left.
It is not my intention to belittle anyone who uses our free speech zones regardless of whether they are preaching, campaigning or whatever.
This political season has been tough for me. So far, I've avoided thinking about it by focusing on giving congressional offices an earful about the $700 billion they just flushed down the toilet.
The Editorial Board has caught a lot of flack for supposedly being biased toward Sen. Barack Obama. We want to make it abundantly clear that until about two weeks ago, we had no idea which candidate was going to receive our votes and our endorsement. However, today we can proudly say that we are officially endorsing Obama as our preferred choice for 44th President of the United States.
In the last three decades, conservative leaders in this nation have done something remarkable. They have convinced Americans that equality is bad, specifically economic equality. Anything remotely resembling a progressive tax system is labeled as socialist and radical.
