I am sorry to say my first experience attending an Accent event may be my last. After rushing to the Phillips Center from class, I was told (after only 10 minutes of admitting students) no more tickets were available. Fine. I was too late. No big deal.
Months ago, I took a vow of abstinence, and I failed. That is, I failed to abstain from my constant use of Facebook.
I attended Nye's speech Tuesday night, and while I thought his program was wonderful, the venue left something to be desired - namely, the choice to open the Phillips Center to the general public rather than to students only.

In an effort to prevent graduate students from being bullied, the Student Senate approved legislation Tuesday for a graduate student bill of rights.
I'm disappointed in you, Alligator. The year is 2007, you've been around for more than a century, and you still allow blatantly sexist columns to be published. I know they aren't necessarily your opinions, but Tuesday's column "Camping can be fun for both sexes" was highly inappropriate.
Despite its best efforts, UF is still not out of the running in the SEC East. With a 4-3 conference record, the Gators trail both Tennessee and Georgia by one game.
