A group of UF finance and economics faculty pointed to drops in real estate value as the origins of the U.S. economic crisis in a panel on the nationwide financial dilemma Thursday night.
Reading Michael Belle's column on Student Government, I found his comments regarding the shortcomings of district senators to be highly misguided. If Belle is looking for evidence of district senators' awareness of issues within their ZIP code, he need look no further than the Student Senate's recent resolution supporting the annexation of the area around Southwest 20th Avenue.
A woman arrested Wednesday night in connection with a break-in at Jeff's NY Deli at 21 W. University Ave. told police she was hungry.
"It's keg, keg stand? Is that what it's called?" Patricia Telles-Irvin, vice president of Student Affairs, asked as she began explaining in an interview on Sept. 24 why the phrase "keg tipping" was included in the proposed changes to UF's Student Honor and Conduct codes.

I couldn't help but laugh at the editorial submitted Thursday by Michael George about voter registration volunteers avoiding him because he was wearing a McCain-Palin shirt. It's entirely possible they did not pursue him because someone with enough interest in the election to own a shirt featuring the name of one of the candidates may be more likely to have already registered.

Suddenly, a deafening roar shatters all of your windows and throws you from your couch. A few miles away, a dark and expanding nuclear mushroom cloud beckons for your life.
Suddenly, statistics do not seem so important.

Marrit Boonstra and Megan Alexander looked for redemption Thursday.
Running has always come naturally for Josh Izewski.
After reading the articles on our Student Government candidates raising a couple thousand bucks for their ever-important T-shirts and buttons, I couldn't help but think about how much money Americans waste by giving to political campaigns. For the 2008 election thus far, all of the candidates have raised over $1 billion (McCain = $230 million, Obama = $454 million). Why?
