A Gainesville man was arrested Monday after police said he followed a woman inside Walmart and pushed his groin against her butt.
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.
“I did not hit her. I did naht! Oh, hi Mark.”
A former president of the Theta Chi Fraternity’s UF chapter was arrested early Friday morning for drunkenly driving his scooter on campus, University Police said.
A one-sentence letter last week was the final nail in the coffin for “Old Joe.”
High Dive will host four Florida-based rock bands tonight. The bands scheduled to perform are flipturn, from Fernandina Beach; Brightside, based out of Tallahassee; Colours, from Sarasota; and Gainesville’s own Arrows in Action.
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. Debates will go in alphabetical order by the writer’s last name.
Less than seven weeks remain until Florida kicks off the 2017 regular season against Michigan at AT&T Stadium. The Gators enter this year as back-to-back SEC East champions, notching 13 conference wins under coach Jim McElwain since he took over the program in 2015. As always, UF’s success on the gridiron this fall will largely depend on its roster, a group of players featuring both seasoned veterans and unestablished newcomers. Here is the position preview for players set to play quarterback at Florida this year:
When high school defensive backs decide to attend the University of Florida, they’re actually committing to two different schools.

Citing student safety concerns, Student Government will pay $2 million out of its reserves to fund a railing repairs project on the Reitz Union’s exterior.

For the second time since May, a Gainesville woman was sexually assaulted near Bo Diddley Community Plaza.
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.
In recent weeks, controversy has swirled around an 11-month-old baby boy from the U.K.
“If it’s meant to be, it will be.” These words are ones I often hear, and while I think they are meant to be comforting, they make me kind of angry.
