Gators should have sung alma mater
By Taryn Rivera | Sep. 30, 2007I've just got to say, the loss to Auburn was heartbreaking, but what was even more heartbreaking was our team leaving the field without coming down toward the students and the band to sing our alma mater. The fact that we lost should be even more reason to show camaraderie. The fans lost their voices, shared in the disappointment of the loss and even shed some tears, so why not join us down in the end zone?

UF toilet-cleanliness campaign needed
By Brelan Moritz | Sep. 30, 2007I've lost count of how many times I've found bathroom stalls partially or completely unusable because of what I like to call "negligent use." Apparently, many among us are woefully uneducated in the field of toilet etiquette and usage, and it is our responsibility as a learning institution to pass these critical skills on to every student. Imagine the damage to The Gator Nation's image this is causing. Alumni letting toilet bowls fill to the brim and forcing their colleagues to wipe their urine off of toilet seats must be making quite a bad name for us.
