Lazy students must grow up
By MARGARITA DELAPAZ | Oct. 15, 2007I read Vincent Massaro's Monday column, and it pretty much made me ashamed for my generation. How does a senior get off with never having a committed job or any real-life experience? I applaud his late but much-needed realization that he should grow up. However, I'm disgusted that anyone could be this lazy.

Complaints of bias undeserved
By Will Foster | Oct. 15, 2007Shannyn Schott, an alumna who should have been labeled as such, should spend more time reading the Alligator and less time venting about "liberal bias." When did supporting school vouchers, limiting affirmative action and advocating for higher SAT and grade point average requirements (instead of need-based testing) for Bright Futures become causes célèbres among liberals? Never. Schott is either to the right of Genghis Khan or doesn't understand the political spectrum.

By Shannyn Schott | Oct. 14, 2007Remember the time when you wanted Subway, but you didn't have any cash on you, so you starved? I do. Thankfully, Kevin Reilly changed that with "tangible results," and now Gators can use their credit and debit cards on campus. And didn't you give Student Government a LAUREL for their "tangible results" when it installed more blue lights on campus? Do you know who the chairwoman of that committee was? Kellie Dale. While her friends were out having fun, she was doing walk-throughs on campus with the University Police Department.
