Matthew Wagshol, a senior in UF's mechanical engineering program, takes his shoes off, sprawls out and enjoys his time between classes in the warm weather on Monday afternoon. He avoided the heat by lying in the shade beside his bicycle on the North Lawn behind the Reitz Union. Monday's temperatures reached a high of 87 degrees. Steven H. Keys / Alligator Staff
An article in Friday’s Alligator incorrectly reported that 10 people attended a Pride Awareness Month Event at which Wilson Cruz spoke. The number was a misprint — about 100 people attended the event.
Former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., answered questions on health care legislation, obesity and Haiti recovery via satellite Monday night.
I am disappointed by the stance the Editorial Board took in Monday’s editorial “Zombie Nation.” Humans vs. Zombies is just a master game of tag that unites all different kinds of students across UF’s campus in a game that makes the boring walk to class more interesting for a week.
I was standing on Turlington Plaza Monday with some members of the Coalition for Justice Against Police Brutality, telling students walking by about the shooting of Kofi Adu-Brempong by the University Police Department. As we were handing out fliers for today’s protest, a girl stopped me and asked me about the incident. To no fault of her own, she said she hadn’t heard anything about it and wanted to know how UPD could possibly shoot an international student on campus.
A Gainesville Regional Utilities employee was arrested on charges of stealing equipment and tools.
I think it’s fair to say there are few phrases in the English language that are more emotionally loaded than “I love you.” For that matter, it’s probably fair to say there are few phrases that are more regularly abused and misused than those three words.
Now that the warm weather is here, it's time to break out the bathing suits and head out to the beaches (or lay out by the closest pool).

With the Southeastern Conference Championship Tournament less than two weeks away, the Florida men’s golf team has one last chance to get back on track for competition after a strand of poor performances.
As a Christian missionary I am ashamed the Westboro Baptist Church continues to pose as Christians. Real Christians base their faith on the Bible — the teachings of Jesus. He says, “All men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” The most famous scripture, John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son ... that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
On Tuesday, Gainesville will get a glimpse of the increasingly popular God-concentrated argumentative cavalcade appearing in many of the auditoriums across the country and the world, the local showcase the Accent speaker’s bureau has dubbed The Great Religion Debate. These loosely related, independently organized events have made celebrities out of their dialectical pugilists, among them Richard Dawkins, William Lane Craig and Shmuley Boteach, although I must admit it seems the notoriety gained from these debates is severely biased toward the atheistic side of the podium. Is it infamy more than fame, the relative lameness of their theist counterparts or simply their writing of more entertaining books? I’m sure we’ll find out.
HvZ players gather to learn the rules and regulations of the Humans vs. Zombies game before it begins this week.
