Welcome to College Bites
By CHRISTINE HART<br | Sep. 9, 2008I first became interested in cooking in high school and came to UF (pursuing a degree in art) with ideas and recipes that have helped me cook healthily for myself while staying on a budget. Because I am on often cooking on the fly for one, I have to remain flexible; thus I developed an improvisational attitude towards cooking. As I see it, if you become familiar with a particular ingredient, technique, or basic recipe and learn how to play with it, it can become so much more than one involved, rigid recipe ever could.

Steve Miller Band for all ages
By Grace Willberg | Sep. 9, 2008Contrary to a letter written to the editor Tuesday, I can safely assume that there is life beyond Lil Wayne and Kanye West. We all love the infamous song "Lollipop," but if anybody appreciates good music they can also jam to "Jungle Love" and "The Joker" without having to be 50 years old.

Groundbreaking physics machine to recreate Big Bang conditions
By SCOTT WEINGART<br | Sep. 9, 2008The world's largest particle accelerator will conduct its inaugural test tomorrow morning, shooting protons at near-light speed around its 17-mile ring. Tomorrow afternoon, thousands of contributing international scientists will breathe a well-deserved sigh of relief. Unless of course the accelerator creates a black hole that devours the Earth, which probably won't happen. I think.

Miami coach out of line
By Cameron Frye | Sep. 9, 2008The recent complaints by Miami coach Randy Shannon about the Gators "running up the score" with a late field goal were completely out of line. To suggest that Urban Meyer has no character and is a bad person for letting his inexperienced kicker attempt a field goal late in a game is simply ridiculous.

Barr viable candidate in election
By Jote Thompson | Sep. 9, 2008As a supporter of presidential candidate Bob Barr, I would like to respond to Kyle Robisch's commentary by saying thank you. It is most flattering to a candidate and his supporters when someone pays attention, especially when he repeats the same old boring argument the Republicrats always use when a third-party candidate breaks out of the pack.

The Vicious Cycle: Rush Week
By ERIC GLICKMAN | Sep. 8, 2008Another year of fraternity rush has come and gone. Rush is the most pivotal event for any fraternity at UF. It is a modern example of survival of the fittest. Fraternities need a steady member count to persist or they could die out. Rush is intended to be a way for fraternities to get together and celebrate Greek unity, but it has drastically failed to accomplish such.
