Late-night comment was out of line

I don't watch much television, especially late-night shows. Conan, Letterman, the whole bunch - I just don't find them funny. But worse than all the others, in my mind, is Jay Leno. Though I shiver at the thought, I could sit through a Fall Out Boy concert in its entirety before I could do the same for "The Tonight Show." To top it off, Leno is so lacking in wit that his only apparent back-up is bigotry.

China has history of crushing dissent

I can't help but wonder if recent letters defending China's "liberation" (invasion) of Tibet were penned by Chinese Communist Party members doing student work at UF. This is the official party line in a country without a free press, where opposition to one-party, communist rule is dealt with harshly and quickly. Americans remember the events of Tiananmen Square some years ago, when hundreds of student protesters were shot and killed while peacefully assembling. But the younger generation of Chinese don't; they receive information only after it has been carefully scrutinized and edited by the country's 30,000 government-employed Internet censors, among others.

Senator's multiple addresses suspicious

In yet another indication that UF's Student Government is destined to continue business as usual, the Student Senate Rules and Ethics Committee decided to unanimously allow Sen. Sheldon Nagesh to continue representing District E despite pressing concerns about his true residential address - which is anyone's guess at this point.

Lawsuit is about professor's profits

I find it disgusting that there is a lawsuit over Einstein's Notes. I took Michael Moulton's Wildlife Issues class in 2005, and I was required to buy the mandatory "electronic textbook." At the time, it was $80 - a lot for a college student. The contents were nothing more than a CD, DVD and a booklet seemingly no larger than a driver's education manual. All of this mass-produced, all of this what I would call "cheap quality" and all overpriced.
