Unite Party attacks are unfounded

In Friday’s Alligator, the Unite Party attacked the Student Alliance party for something they did not do. Let me be perfectly clear: The Student Alliance party did not participate in last week’s fliering with anti-Unite Party messages, and we don’t condone such activities.

Student Alliance party not acting for students

As I sat in on the annual Student Government debate Thursday, I was all smiles as I took the opportunity to shake hands with old friends on both sides of the aisle and even some former colleagues from Freshman Leadership Council who were hosting the event. Like most UF students, I’ve been happy to avoid the politics and take the best of what SG has to offer: great memories, a chance to serve my community and a great love for my university and my fellow students.

Danger nothing new in Winter Olympics

There was a considerable amount of finger pointing last week after Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili died during a practice run for the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. I saw the video of the crash in which Kumaritashvili flew from his luge after exiting a turn over the 4-foot edge of the track, bounced off a rail and finally smashed head first into a support column – from a speed over 80 mph. He died before arriving at the hospital.
