Country music and cowboy boots were replaced by martial arts fighters at :08 on Saturday night when Florida Fight Nights took over the dance floor.
Though I’ve never fully understood the expression, congressional Democrats are keeping true to the English idiom and dropping like flies. Most recently on the no-go list for November is Rep. Bart Stupak (of “Stupak Amendment” fame). Let’s have a walk down memory lane, shall we? By last December 10 House Democrats had artfully announced their early retirement. With the new year, announcements from the esteemed Senate had come in: former presidential hopeful Chris Dodd, North Dakota’s Byron Dorgan and Evan Bayh (former governor of Indiana and rumored 2008 presidential contender).
Three UF clubs battle to see whose science is greatest.
I’d like to congratulate Chase Adler, author of the incredibly juvenile and insensitive letter to the editor this past Friday, for submitting the most idiotic note I have seen at my time at UF. We apologize that this whole hoopla over Kofi is “tiring” you. It must be hard to sit around all day and read about the obnoxious details of an innocent man’s inhumane treatment at the hands of an officer with a track record of racist acts. It’s apathy like yours and an unwillingness to gain insight on the facts (for one, a mental health crisis does not call for five armed police officers, but rather a trained professional who can properly assist in the situation) that perpetuates and enables crimes such as police brutality. Rather than make a sweeping claim that “There is no such thing as police brutality,” take off your stupid college kid blinders and attempt to really educate yourself on the case and the realities that others who are not so privileged as yourself face.

Jeff Johnson is not an entertainer.
Left, right, left, right. Pause. An African girl shoulders the burden of retrieving water for her family. On average, a female in Africa walks 30 minutes to a water source, waits in line, fills up a bucket and balances it on her head as she trudges back. Left, right, left, right. Pause.
About 63 percent of Alachua County residents have mailed their census forms and census workers will be going door-to-door starting May 1 to those who haven't completed the forms.
Thank you Rosette Charles. Chivalry is not dead, but that is not the issue here.
During my four years at UF, it was obvious that Bernie Machen’s administration had zero concern for the Student Body. When Andrew Meyer was Tasered, when the Graduate Assistants United asked for slightly higher pay to teach classes, and when entire programs were cut without student input, the administration stood squarely against the students. Maybe it is fortunate that the worst offense to the Student Body came the year after I graduated and migrated north. Even if the brutal maiming of Kofi Adu-Brempong was somehow justified, it is the administration’s duty to stand up for its students. The University Police Department exists to protect the Student Body, and when a student is left with gruesome injuries at the hands of a UPD officer, the Student Body deserves an explanation and an investigation. Machen and the UF administration have once again failed the Student Body; blessing a handful of students with a meeting is not enough to fulfill the obligations that Machen is handsomely paid to perform. It has never been more clear that this university needs a new direction and new leadership. We need a university president whose loyalty and responsibilities don’t end with collecting a massive paycheck, and we need justice for the UF Student Body.
