The Wandering Gator: On the beaches that bought freedom

Gazing over sandy dunes into the calm Atlantic, one can almost ignore the brisk wind ever-present even in June, and imagine being on the shores of Florida. However here, on the beaches of Normandy, France, thousands have gathered to remember the events of June 6, 1944- known by Americans as D-Day.

Clearing the air: Tuesday’s coitus interruptus column

On Tuesday, the Alligator ran a column titled “‘Pull and pray’: Yay or Nay?” singing the praises of the pull-out birth control method. We realize that the piece didn’t emphasize a few key pieces of information: That, like all birth control, the pull-out method isn’t for everyone, and furthermore, the study quoted in the article stipulated that the pull-out method should be used in conjunction with other forms of birth control.

JACKSONVILLE — Beautiful chaos precedes the beautiful game. It’s hot and sticky, just the way it will be every afternoon for the next four months in Northern Florida, but they are not deterred. They march for the sport they love. They march for their country’s colors and the team they’re so passionate about — their only hope is that their passion bleeds over to you. If you hang around them long enough, it’s impossible not to get swept up in the red, white and blue fever they exude from their pores right along with the sweat from the June heat.

The Wandering Gator: From London to the Swamp

Prior to this week, my knowledge of American colleges was limited to a vast array of American movies. Surprisingly, life on an American campus doesn't seem to be exactly like an American Pie movie. My journey to Gainesville began all the way back in England, which seems a million miles away from the orange and blue town that I will soon be calling home.
