A new UF enrollment model will be doing away with the summertime farewell, "See you in September."
I'm a senior who is graduating this August, and I'm not hatin', but I've had four fantastic years of Gainesville college debauchery and can offer a few recommendations to keep the town prospering in all social aspects. I've noted some laws that want to curb the incurable, some changes that try to break the unbreakable and some traditions that need to be awoken from their sober deaths.
I've been back from Vietnam for seven years. I spent the first three in a drunken New Orleans haze. The next four, I drove for Hoffa's Teamsters.
For those who are living in a cave and are unaware, the final Harry Potter film debuts in U.S. theaters Friday.
When a 168-year-old British tabloid read by millions goes down in the flames, we have to say something.
If you haven't noticed recently, there have been some new additions to the UF and Gainesville community. They aren't the swarms of parents and potential students who quizzically roam the campus, nor are they the people who hand out fliers for some benefit show or campus club. In fact, they don't do anything except waltz and creepily stare as you walk to your next class.
Any other time, this may have been grounds for a call to child services. But on Friday night, it was all part of the show.
It began with a whistle, then an episode of organized chaos.
Standing in front of a crowd that included the admiring eyes of some of his former students, Jerry Uelsmann said he does not have an agenda behind his photography.
The Stephen C. O'Connell Center is getting a facelift at an estimated cost of $900,000.

A document released by UF's Office of Audit and Compliance Review has revealed the School of Architecture's director billed the school for the services of a design center he also directs, signaling a possible conflict of interest.
For at least one year, UF students' nighttime transportation options are expanding.
A recent UF graduate died Saturday while tubing with his friends at Ginnie Springs on the Santa Fe River.
One six-week-long trial, media frenzy and not-guilty verdict later, a few UF legal experts have weighed in with opinions on the Casey Anthony verdict.
In the June 28 edition of the Alligator, an article about a fossil discovered in Vero Beach incorrectly reported the fossil has been exhibited in the Florida Museum of Natural History since November. A replica of the fossil has been exhibited.
On Monday, we recognized a day of legendary bravery in an onerous battle for life, liberty and happiness. We put aside our political persuasions and forgot our delusions of enmity. For a brief moment, we all had long hair, figuratively sang "Imagine" by John Lennon and did indeed "live as one."
Last Thursday, my good buddy/managing editor/the-man-who-has-the-sense-to-never-let-me-run-a-Muhammad-cartoon Joey Flechas and I drove down to St. Petersburg for the annual Florida Press Association convention. For the few of you who don't religiously follow the inner workings of Florida print media, the FPA convention is where a bunch of godless leftist journos/"media academics"/anyone with a hard-on for the written word from all across the state gather at some palace of a hotel, dress up in outfits picked out by Stevie Wonder and try to outstroke each other in rhetorical masturbation. Essentially, it's like the Republican National Convention with the exception that there's a limit to how much free booze you can guzzle.
If you're looking for some sense of validation as to whether your expert hunch that Casey Marie Anthony is innocent or guilty, seek life elsewhere.
