Decal Proposal Greedy
By the Editorial Board | Jan. 29, 2008In the latest effort to combat traffic congestion on campus, UF Transportation and Parking Services is considering a proposal to raise the decal price for motorcycles and scooters.

College is time to explore new interests
By Danny Beaulieu | Jan. 29, 2008Sen. Jeremy Ring's proposal for the modification of Bright Futures falls far short of anything bright. A student majoring in biology with an SAT score barely above the national average and a mediocre GPA would be awarded more money than a philosophy major who scored a 1500 on the SATs and had straight A's. Not only is that absurd, but just imagine the implications of that sort of scholarship.

Congress must fight for civil liberties
Jan. 29, 2008We are now almost a month into 2008, but I can't shake the feeling that we're stuck in 1984. Big Brother is watching us, listening to us and invading our personal privacy at an unprecedented and alarming rate-all in the name of national security.

Florida still struggling to get elections right
By the Editorial Board | Jan. 29, 2008As details of election problems popped up Tuesday, the Floridian tradition of complicating national elections was renewed. Florida Secretary of State Kurt Browning said none of the voting problems reported to his office were anything more than "common, everyday election fare."

Change to Bring Futures discriminatory
By LAURA KUBITZ | Jan. 29, 2008The proposed changes to the Bright Futures program are ridiculous. The change, along with the possibility of tuition increases and the likelihood of universities accepting fewer freshmen, would make college more difficult for many students.

Fla. primary strategic for Republicans
By BENJAMIN GROVE | Jan. 29, 2008Tuesday's Republican primary captured Florida's importance in deciding the next U.S. president. The Republican candidates all offered different ideas to lead the party and the nation into the 21st century.

Florida Democratic primaries still important
By Mark McShera | Jan. 29, 2008Since Florida won't receive any delegates at the National Democratic Convention in August, some people have tried to claim Tuesday's election won't matter.

Little agreement with endorsements

Bill to give scholarships based on majors unfair
By the Editorial Board | Jan. 28, 2008State Senator Jeremy Ring may be a Democrat, but his proposed "economic development tool" is anything but democratic.

Hawkins best choice for city's future
Jan. 28, 2008While I respect both Robert Agrusa and Thomas Hawkins Jr. in their impassioned effort to give younger people a representative with whom they can identify and general residents a stronger bridge across generations, I do not extend that respect to the Alligator Editorial Board.

Fate of the Union
By the Editorial Board | Jan. 28, 2008If Washington is the Hollywood for ugly people, Monday's State of the Union address would have been the final chance for an aging George Bush to get his place on the Walk of Fame.

City races focus on growth, economy
By the Editorial Board | Jan. 27, 2008With nearly half of the seats on the City Commission up for grabs Tuesday and an amendment affecting tax revenue, the results of this election day could also have a great influence on a city already navigating redevelopment and economic growth.

Darts & Laurels
By the Editorial Board | Jan. 24, 2008There may be a logical explanation for why you woke up feeling like crap Tuesday. Yes, it did signal the end of the only long weekend we have until Spring Break, but it may very well be because the third week in January is among one of the most depressing of the year, according to a researcher from Cardiff University.

Respect for all women still not reality
By CARLY HALLAM | Jan. 24, 2008I spent this past weekend in Las Vegas with my mom and a friend celebrating my 21st birthday. My social status as a young female has never proved so beneficial. I skipped hour-long lines, scooted my way into VIP areas and received free lap dances from Australian male strippers (no, seriously).
