Sep. 22, 2008With Sen. John McCain's addition of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to the Republican ticket, we will undoubtedly suffer yet another campaign of constant claims about this nation's Christian foundation.

Facebook Stalker
By The Alligator Editorial Board | Sep. 22, 2008This may come as a shock, so you'd better have a seat. According to Kaplan Inc., people look at your Facebook profile - and they judge you.

SAT, ACT don’t predict college performance
By The Alligator Editorial Board | Sep. 22, 2008We've long since passed the days of SAT prep courses, but we remember how painful they were. Laundry lists of obscure vocabulary words. Dozens of not-so-profound analogies. Geometry - ugh. Thank goodness those days are behind us.

Gator Party also helped revise codes
By Kellie Dale | Sep. 22, 2008I am writing to express my displeasure with Thomas Stewart's reporting on the Student Conduct Code revisions.

Gators conservative offense not all bad
By Michael Black | Sep. 22, 2008In regard to Brian Steele's column about the Gator offense's lack of flair, I just want to say his view may be a little rushed.

Orange and Blue holds UF accountable
By Stacey Gray | Sep. 22, 2008Monday's article, "Revisions satisfy Orange and Blue," was woefully misleading. The victory won by the Orange and Blue Party wasn't about what the revised Student Conduct Code contained, but about what it did not contain.

Offense needs to open things up
Sep. 21, 2008KNOXVILLE, Tenn - Man, you're such a frigging stud. You've got the prettiest gal in school walking arm in arm with you almost 24/7. You drive up every day in a sleek Mercedes. Your Abercrombie and Hollister shirts are always neatly pressed. You've got Division-I coaches texting you every day, saying how you're their final piece in a national championship run.

Sep. 21, 2008They're back. Equipped with new fliers, slogans, T-shirts and platforms, Student Government parties are back en masse and yearning for our votes. Every fall and spring semester, UF students are overwhelmed by party volunteers and ads trying to swing every Gator's vote.

Building Up
By The Alligator Editorial Board | Sep. 21, 2008If you've lived in Gainesville for the past few years, you've grown accustomed to constant construction work. We know we have.It just wouldn't be the same to sleep through an entire night without hearing a construction worker barking at one of his coworkers over the sound of a concrete-obliterating jackhammer.

Presidential election could determine economic future of U.S.
By LANCE LEGEL | Sep. 18, 2008In the past two weeks, the global financial system has seen such chaotic and devastating activity that, as voters, we find ourselves in a critical position to elect a president who will maneuver us far from the destitution of the Bush administration's policies.

McCain’s voting record consistently bad
By Alicia Swift | Sep. 18, 2008Andrew Fells' editorial was appalling, as was the decision to publish it. Poorly written and childish, there was no logical structure. It consisted simply of random rants and feelings.

McCain doesn’t support troops
By Francisco Sotomayor | Sep. 18, 2008I opened up the Alligator on Wednesday to find an awful rant by Andrew Fells. I would like to set him straight. First, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's bubble has just burst. Maybe it has something to do with her personal tanning booth or her cutting funding for Alaska's Special Olympics.
