I am writing to voice my opinion about cutting back the sports and fitness classes. As a student who has enjoyed taking several sports and fitness classes, I am dismayed that UF no longer finds them necessary.
First Sen. John Kerry came. Then it was Gandhi's grandson. Then Dr. Jack Kevorkian was promised to us. Now we're getting former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
You know what I hate? When people (or more often, movie characters) say, "You just know," when referring to significant others. I even had an older relative once tell me that they just knew "like you know about a good melon." But even that bewilders me - many a time I have cut open a not yet ripe cantaloupe.

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. The massive crowd of parents and young children who showed up prevented many students from seeing Nye in person and required throngs of students to watch the speech outside on a projector.
UF quarterback Tim Tebow was one of 15 players selected as a semi-finalist for the Maxwell Award, the advisory committee for the award announced Wednesday.
Despite a chilly morning, 30 people came to trim their tresses Wednesday to give 150 inches to SFCC's first hair-donation drive.
A UF fraternity has been accused of hazing new members by depriving them of sleep, ordering them to clean older members' rooms and throwing them in a "mud pit."
Your daily fun fact: In Florida, hazing is a third-degree felony if it results in serious injury or death. The "antihazing law" was passed in 2005, after lawmakers pushed for legislation following the death of a University of Miami student in 2001.
Alberto Gonzales, the former U.S. attorney general who resigned earlier this year, will speak at UF on Nov. 19.

As Bill Nye "The Science Guy" emerged onto the stage of the Phillips Center for the Performing Arts on Tuesday night, he was met with wild screams and a standing ovation.
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.
