Last week, the Alligator published contradictory views on whether trying Khalid Sheikh Muhammad in New York is the right move. Unfortunately, both pieces missed some of the most pertinent questions.

This is in response to Zach Faza’s letter to the editor about his support for the renovation of the Reitz Union. It is ignorant to argue that the pride Florida students have is derived from the quality and beauty of their campus. This is not a resort, but a university that students attend for a reputable education. What separates UF students from everyone else?

UPD's Rape Aggression Defense class teaches women self defense.
After weeks of questions, Florida got to take a breather this time.
At the end of the third quarter, the crowd rises, arms lock and 90,000 begin to sway to a simple, 10-stanza song.
It may have taken longer than expected, but Florida finally found its outside shot Friday night.
