Story ignores Muslim perspective
By Odyscea Moghimi-Kian | Sep. 14, 2009I was outraged to read Monday's story, "Demonstrators gather to protest Islam on Sept. 11," not solely due to the protesters' complete intolerance of other religions and incredibly hateful message, but also because of the way the Alligator reported the story.

Most scholarships already need-based
By Colleen Morrison | Sep. 14, 2009I know the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program is flawed, but under no circumstances should it become an entirely need-based program. What Kyle Robisch fails to realize is that basically all of the scholarships available for Florida students are need-based. I worked extremely hard in high school, and it paid off in the form of an extremely high SAT score, a 4.3 GPA, passing five out of six AP exams and becoming a sports captain. However, when it came to scholarships, I received a measly $500 after applying for about 20. The vast majority of scholarships have a need-based component. I don't see how my parent's salary has anything to do with how much I achieved in high school. If we make everything need-based, it will discourage students from doing well in school and push them to attend schools that are less scholastically renowned.

Kanye's comments break record of idiocy
By Samuel Thomas | Sep. 14, 2009I have to admit, I usually hate everything on MTV and refuse to watch it, but when I got on Facebook and saw no less than 700 statuses along the lines of "Kanye West at the VMAs - what a terrible person!" it was of the utmost importance that I find the video online.
