Ric Rose plays a clown, a hotel owner, a train passenger and more. He switches roles with the change of a hat or the swift swing of a ladder.
The LGBT community doesn’t really care about tolerance. This couldn’t be any clearer after their reaction to Chick-fil-A.
I wanted to respond to the Alligator’s April 10 article on the abortion rights event at the Civic Center because on April 7, I hosted a campus event with UF’s Pro-Life Alliance in the Reitz Colonnade for Floridian women who regretted their abortion, an event called “Silent No More,” which WCJB TV-20 News featured on the 6 o’clock news. This event, juxtaposed with the women Saturday, significantly enlightens the personal repercussions of post-abortion.
Members of UF’s Greek community are proud to flash their letters — and not just the ones on their jerseys and badges.
If you long for elementary-school field trips – specifically ones to exotic, never-before-explored areas – Santa Clara University may have a course for you.

All is not well in the Mushroom Kingdom. There is a boogeyman in the gaming industry — an unspoken Cthulhu-like horror that threatens to derail all the progress the industry has made over the years should it fully awaken from its slumber.
I’d like to thank the Alligator for the coverage of the abortion speakout sponsored by the Gainesville chapter of National Women’s Liberation.
Picture our television shows and movies swept clean of any element that “disrespects history.” According the Chinese government, which apparently is trying to make historical scholars out of its populace, shows and movies shouldn’t include elements of time travel lest they change the look of history.
Teachers get put into some tough positions, and we’re not even talking about questions about unions or budget cuts.
On the heels of an 11th-hour deal late Friday night that averted a government shutdown, the real debate has only now begun. Debate over the debt ceiling will be heating up; if we stay on the current course, the U.S. will reach the maximum borrowing limit of $14.31 trillion by mid-May. Additionally, the fiscal budget for 2011-2012 will be taking place. The reality of the situation is that the only remedy would be major cuts, coupled with tax increases. However, many on the right say we only have a spending problem and not a revenue problem, and many on the left refuse to cut spending in favor of only raising taxes.
On a biting, harsh morning last November, I was late for school. In my haste to get to campus on time, I forgot to eat breakfast. Ten minutes into my bike ride down Stadium Road, black spots entered my vision, and I broke out into an icy sweat. Pedaling my bike seemed to take an enormous amount of effort. Then, I realized — low blood sugar and skipping meals was a dangerous combination.
If Megan Bissell labels herself as an angry lesbian, I’d have to label myself as a broken-hearted Christian. Why? Because it sucks that our world breeds angry people, let alone angry lesbians, and it sucks that “Christians” often have been the least compassionate of all. For that, I’m sorry. Jesus’ message was uncompromising and offensive, yet the soft-hearted flocked to Him because of His supernatural love. I regret that many “Christians” don’t follow His example.
