GPS on buses waste of student money
By Greg Perry | Apr. 8, 2008I must have missed the desperately needed outcry to scold Student Government's blatant waste of spending, so here goes my version. The University of Florida is spending $204,000 to start up, then $110,000 per year to tell you how long you have to wait for a bus. If that's not enough, throw in a few high-definition LCD screens. Can we not wait for a bus like the rest of the world? Is there any true value gained in this system?

Army must be integrated to stop bias against homosexuals
By WILLIAM QUINN | Apr. 8, 2008Imagine that a resident assistant walking through a dorm at night hears a noise that sounds suspicious, so he or she knocks on the door. He eventually gains access to the room and realizes that he has interrupted a sex act between two male students. He reports the incident to the administration. The president oversees an investigation into the sexual identity of the two students. The investigation infuriates other homosexual students, so several of them walk into the president's office and claim to be homosexuals. After learning that all the students are in fact homosexuals, the university expels all of them.
