Our generation too quick to diagnose

Last Thursday, just when I was about to align myself with the Editorial Board’s defense against elder generations’ grumblings about the lay of the 21st century land, I stumbled upon a preview of the American Psychiatric Association’s DSM-5, or the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Now, I’m standing with our Golden Folks on their side of the issue, although their stance in this matter has less to do with our generation’s intelligence and more to do with society’s ever-flaccidifying grit.

Columnist should apologize or be fired

I am shocked and saddened that a publication that claims to be as progressive and tolerant as the Alligator would publish Paul Murty’s vile and hate-filled rant Friday about a group of Americans exercising their constitutional right of assembly, the Conservative Political Action Conference.

SG dictatorship no longer possible

Student Body President Jordan Johnson shows contempt for democracy. On Thursday morning, the lame-duck president asked the UF Board of Trustees to move forward with creating a new tuition fee to fund an unnecessary expansion of the Reitz Union, ignoring the will of the majority of students who voted against such a fee in last week’s election.
