Editorial: UF Supreme Court shows concerning lack of transparency

 A week ago, we were pleasantly surprised with our Student Government when a constitutional amendment to allow online voting was approved for the upcoming SG election ballot. Until this point, online voting has remained unconstitutional, and previous attempts to change this have all failed. A previous editorial voiced not only our surprise, but also our excitement at the chance to decide to make our right to vote so much more accessible with online voting.

Column: The Grammys don't necessarily equal success

Guest Column: Sanders - the 'cowardly' candidate?

Several days ago, a column published in this paper accused those who support Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., for the Democratic nomination of being “lazy and cowardly.” Now, being a Sanders supporter — there goes my shot at ever being a public servant — sure, I do not necessarily see myself as brave. I get scared of simple things, like heights, clowns and people with two first names, like Taylor Scott, Jennifer Lawrence or Zachary Lee. But cowardly? I’ll have you know I once had a bowl of nails for breakfast. Without any milk.
