Global Gators

UF freshman John Rohde speaks to representatives about a study abroad trip to Chengdu, China Wednesday afternoon on the Reitz Union Colonnade. The table was part of the 2010 Study Abroad Fair. Students who took the first step to becoming a “Global Gator” were able to speak with staff and students who have been abroad, as well as with representatives from approved study abroad programs to learn more about studying overseas.Dana Burke, Alligator

Women a plus in conservative politics

Queen Elizabeth I was an unexpected political genius dedicated to her country and her people in a manner that had been seen in few monarchs before her. Stepping into her position as one of the first female heads of state, Queen Elizabeth I brought the English people through both domestic and foreign crises in determined strides.

Doggone shame

The Philadelphia Daily News found itself in its own doghouse Wednesday when its main front-page headline for a story about the Philadelphia Eagles naming Michael Vick starting quarterback read “Top Dog.”

HvZ safe for students

I’m a human, both in the literal sense Mr. Quinn defines in his column and in the Humans vs. Zombies game I participated in last week. The game provides harmless, alcohol- and drug-free entertainment to about 1,000 UF students.

Boys who like girls — and boys: Happy Bi Day

From left to right: a woman, a man and another man, all holding hands. I thought it was a pretty interesting sight too, not necessarily because I was confused, but because I had never seen it before. I thought I never would either. Rather than walk up and ask for an interview, I decided to follow them. They reached the entrance to Library West and then all parted ways, so I sat down to think. Was that a genuine three- way relationship?

HvZ not UF’s only intense game

I agree with Sean Quinn’s column regarding Humans vs. Zombies. Players are far too intense and it reflects negatively on the school.    I know another game where the same applies. A bunch of students wear pads, hit each other and chase a man with a ball. Most students get into the game and some even paint themselves! This barbarity reflects horribly on this school as a learning institution.
