Fundraising campaign comes at a price

The advent of the Florida Tomorrow campaign is a great chance for UF to address its cash concerns - but only if done properly. Even though it looks innocent enough, this campaign has a dark side, primarily the fattening of UF's endowment.

Welcome Kevorkian with open arms

In light of the infamous Tasering incident at UF on Sept. 17 as well as the controversial appearance by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at Columbia University on Sept. 24, I urge my fellow Gators to welcome Dr. Jack Kevorkian to Gainesville with open arms. Education is not merely memorizing and regurgitating facts, but also taking the "red pill" if you will - that is, pushing our minds to the limit by immersing ourselves in controversial viewpoints. If no change of opinion occurs, then our original beliefs will be further cemented; otherwise, a paradigm shift will have occurred with our mindsets.

Let coaches and players do their jobs

Charlie Weis, University of Notre Dame head football coach, might punch you in the face if you ask whether he's responsible for the first 0-5 start in school history. You can't say you blame him, either - you'd probably hit back if he asked about your C-plus in calculus.
