In response to Mr. Cox's Tuesday column, it could be said that all men are insensitive jocks who are solely concerned with the length and girth of their penises; but it's just not true. Neither is the depiction of all women as addicts of "objects of beautification" who are so needy of modern amenities that they are completely detached from the natural world.
I'm disappointed in you, Alligator. The year is 2007, you've been around for more than a century, and you still allow blatantly sexist columns to be published. I know they aren't necessarily your opinions, but Tuesday's column "Camping can be fun for both sexes" was highly inappropriate.
Monday's editorial headline implied students should not vote because Florida's Democratic primary will not matter. Not only is this irresponsible, but it is wrong.
I am writing in response to Monday's guest column "On-campus dining facilities should serve cage-free eggs." Don't speak for us all.
Come on now, Alligator editorial board. Have you gone nuts? What's up with telling students their votes won't matter on Jan. 29? It is this type of thinking you'd expect from the Fox News pundits, not a beacon of hope in the journalism industry such as you guys.
After the Gators dominated Flagler last week and beat up some kid named Lynn on Monday, it's still pretty hard to tell how good they are.
The news is in, and it ain't good.
I'm disappointed in you, ladies. The rain is beginning to subside, the heat has gone into hiding, and you still won't go camping.
We're sorry. We didn't mean to offend. Monday's editorial's headline, "Don't Vote," apparently rubbed many readers the wrong way.
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's … the fall semester.
Have you ever considered the treatment of animals we rely on for food? Our childhood image of large pastures with a red-and-white barn surrounded by happy, free-roaming animals could not be further from the truth.
Before I write what I have to say, I would like to state that I am not racist, sexist, classist or any kind of "ist."
Florida has a nasty little habit of screwing up elections. Even if you weren't old enough to vote (and most UF students weren't) in 2000, you certainly heard all about butterfly ballots, hanging chads and Katherine Harris.
I've noticed recent Alligators have had letters concerning reality television, namely the show "A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila."
My husband and I wish to express our gratitude to all of the sororities that participated in the "Ghouls, Goblins, and Greeks" event on Halloween. All of the girls were so caring and wonderful with our kids, and the effort spent decorating the houses, making costumes and creating games for the kids' enjoyment was so appreciated by our family. Our children, who are ages 3 and 1, had a fantastic time, and we all hope to participate again next year. Thank you again for the wonderful Halloween experience.
Ah, Homecoming weekend. The grills are lit, the RVs are parked, the beer is on ice. We'd be lying if we said we don't enjoy it. Even though Archer Road is more packed than a tin of sardines and our favorite bars are at capacity, we wouldn't trade this three-day weekend for anything.
Watch out - here come the mighty Vanderbilt Commodores!
These past few weeks I have seen continuous negative coverage by the Alligator editorial board wantonly slamming whole groups of students, namely Greeks and SG, for mostly negligible offenses.
I don't know about you, but spending a semester abroad is something I've been thinking about doing since arriving at UF.
I don't understand some people's view of "freedom of speech." It is evident to me that people who publicly violate the law during peaceful, political discourse are met with praise rather than scorn.
