When people think of college, they probably think of a smorgasbord of sex. Education comes to mind too, but we college students live in an environment where sex is constantly on the brain.
I would like to apologize to UF fans, your football team and staff and Tim Tebow on behalf of the city of Baton Rouge. The classless things done (the cell phone incident) and said (I'm sure there are too many to say) are not a representation of Louisiana State University or its fans.
Traditionally, basketball season has offered a change of pace from football season at UF.
Blah. That's how this week has been. We're all hitting that mid-semester slump. Midterms have turned us into hermits. Papers have us gnawing our pencils. Starbucks has probably sold more cups of coffee this week than all the previous weeks of this semester combined. And sleep? What's sleep? Maybe we'll finally find out this weekend. Hopefully your exams are coming to a close and you can clear those textbooks off your bed so you can, you know, sleep on it. But for now, take a five-minute study break for this week's high-stress edition of…
After the changing of the guard in the Student Senate, we now have another Gator Party insider attempting to implement the party's failed agenda.
When I read the article "City OKs request for plant proposals," I couldn't quite get the grin off my face.
Which do you want first, the good news or the bad?
Today would be a great day for you to reevaluate how you think about the people around you. What if you found out today that one of your friends were gay? What if your cousin told you he or she were transgender?
The Alligator made a very real contribution to UF's sports culture with Tuesday's article "The Family Business." Although football has rightfully maintained its cherished position at the epicenter of Gainesville life, the city and the school can only benefit when any one of the cadre of talented female athletes who represent The Gator Nation at the track or in the pool or on the volleyball court, soccer pitch or softball diamond receives deserved and positive attention.
Today was a bad day. I failed another assignment. I missed the bus and got caught in the rain. I argued with my family. I stubbed my toe. The Reitz Union Food Court was out of spicy sushi rolls.
Forget the upcoming BCS polls or the Heisman Trophy hoopla.
Add it to the list of things you thought you'd never have to pay for in college: a new technology fee.
I would like to offer some supplemental information about Students for a Democratic Society's transparency and socially responsible investment campaign and our recent meeting with UF President Bernie Machen.
The next time you want to criticize Urban Meyer, just stop, please.
It appears that being president of Student Senate wasn't enough for him. Now that Robert Agrusa has ended his term for Student Government, he's moving into real-world government. Or at least the Gainesville City Commission.
Garrett Tyler and Jack Berry appear to have nothing to do with Tony Joiner. But there are moral lessons to be learned from Gators athletes leaving their sport and a football player's run-in with the law.
In light of violent events at Virginia Tech and on other campuses, students and their parents should be aware that if a person is 18 or older, their parents might be unable to obtain medical information about their child, even in an emergency situation. This is because federal law requires physicians and health care facilities to keep a patient's medical information confidential, pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). There are severe penalties for those who violate these provisions.
Imagine our surprise when we heard UF President Bernie Machen finally decided to meet with members of Students for a Democratic Society who descended upon Tigert Hall more than a month ago.
Monday's editorial showed the editorial board's remarkable ignorance when it asked if a national run was in the works for Gov. Charlie Crist.
"Ketchup" season has begun. You've already had your first exam, and it was probably a bad idea to go drinking the night before. Unfortunately, the rest of your fall semester will be spent catching up from the work you skipped.
