As we’re sure you are aware, Florida is a closed primary state. This means that in order to vote in a primary election, Florida residents must be registered with a political party. It also means in the primaries, they are only be able to vote for candidates running for a position within their registered party. In general elections, however, they are able to vote for any candidate in any party.
Local lovers of soul have waited three months to welcome back a homegrown band to the stage — a band that arrived to the Gainesville music scene in late 2010, but whose aura, sound and je ne sais quoi is nostalgically reminiscent of 1963, even for those who consider themselves ‘90s kids.

Even though summer is soon coming to an end, there’s still so much to do. Whether you are trying to check off items from a bucket list or just want to make a few more memories, we’ve got you covered. Here are some events throughout the rest of July (and beginning of August) to help you make the most of it.
This week, I’d like to talk about a few historical observations I’ve noticed in one of my classes this semester. Usually, I try not to have quasi-pointless and redundant sentences like the one preceding this, but it’s the only way I can think of to introduce such a notorious topic. What I’m going to be talking about will concern slavery in U.S.
After weeks of tense back and forth between students and faculty, UF’s Institute of Black Culture and Institute of Hispanic-Latino Cultures will remain two separate buildings.
In this edition of the Alligator Awards, we debate which UF freshman was the best of the 2016-17 season. Sports writers Mari Faiello, Andrew Huang and Morgan McMullen join alligatorSports editors Dylan Dixon and Jake Dreilinger in a roundtable discussion to debate the five nominees.

Less than seven weeks remain until Florida kicks off the 2017 regular season against Michigan at AT&T Stadium.

Health care and education are two of the most highly debated policy areas today. President Donald Trump has advocated to diminish the level of government involvement in both areas, which are currently at the highest they have ever been in U.S. history. Based on historical trends and empirical and theoretical evidence, increased government involvement in any area where it is not absolutely necessary has served only to decrease the value created by institutions. Arguments that favor greater government control and regulation run counter to objective facts.
