People in relationships shouldn’t settle
Oct. 26, 2009I think that, in some cases, one of the most ethical, selfless things you can do in a relationship is end it. And I think one of those cases is when you realize that, by staying with your significant other, you'd be settling for them.

Students: Speak out at Senate
By Fernando Figueroa UF student | Oct. 26, 2009Anyone who made it out to the Coalition of Immokalee Workers protest on Saturday could tell you how just the struggle of these workers is. Because today there is a resolution being discussed in Student Senate that would help these people in their struggle, I hope we all have a chance to make it at 7:30 p.m. in Reitz Union Room 282 for a public debate so we can speak out for this righteous issue. Let's do our part to ensure slavery never comes back to Immokalee. I have faith the Progress Party will be able to push the legislation through.
