Tell your little brothers and sisters to put down their cell phones and give their thumbs a break - at least while driving. Two Florida legislators want to ban minors from txting while driving. WTF doesn't that include every1?
The phrase made famous by UF telecommunication senior Andrew Meyer has made its way so deep into the American lexicon that it has earned an entry in one of the most prestigious dictionaries.
We're starving. The thought of eating another meal out of a box, bag or can is enough to make out stomachs turn. So we're holding out for the gluttonous pleasure that is epitomized in the Thanksgiving meal.
Radical Islam wants you dead," said fliers for the documentary, "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West," which was shown last Tuesday in the Reitz Union.
No one wants to go to class on Wednesday. If you can find us one person who does, we'll eat a copy of today's Alligator.
UF President Bernie Machen makes a lot of money - more than three-quarters of a million dollars.
Thank God - it's finally starting to feel like a season other than summer. It's time to put the sundresses and shorts in the back of the closet and break out the sweaters and scarves. It's time to put on a pot of chili and sip some hot cocoa. It's time to trade in the Corona Light for a dark, wintry ale. It's time to stop going to class and stay under the covers instead. But most of all, it's time to read this week's frost-covered edition of…
We've all heard of the french-fry automobiles that drive across the country, powered only by grease and oil from fast-food restaurants.
Two officers from the Florida State University Police Department will trek by bicycle from Tallahassee to Gainesville on Monday as part of the "Road to Responsibility Challenge" to discourage drunken driving and alcohol abuse for next week's traditionally rowdy Gators-Seminole clash, which also just happens to fall on Thanksgiving weekend.
Kudos to the student volunteers who care enough about their community to try to make a difference in it. Specifically, we're talking about the nearly 1,000 student volunteers who showed up to Gainesville's "Homeless Night Out and Service Fair" last week.
So this is the part when we're supposed to congratulate the Gator Party on accomplishing another one of its platform goals for getting the UF Bookstore to hold a student discount day. Gator says this will alleviate some of the financial burdens of the holiday season.
We realized the crazy things people will do and sell for money this weekend after perusing UF's Facebook Marketplace listings.
Don't you sometimes wish you could retreat from the exams and papers back into the fray of '90s television shows? Things were so much easier when Clarissa explained it all. Or when Mr. Feeny was your life counselor. Or when Zack Morris was the hottest guy around. If only we had the DVDs of these shows. You can reminisce, too. Join us as we wax nostalgic in this week's old-school-was-the-best-school edition of…
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.
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.
When we first heard about the idea of a Graduate Student Bill of Rights from Gator Party members earlier this semester, we pricked up our ears. They weren't sure at the time what exactly would be included, but they explained that its purpose would be to protect graduate students from being exploited by their departments and to curb the discrimination some students, especially international and female ones, said they have experienced.
We're sorry. We didn't mean to offend. Monday's editorial's headline, "Don't Vote," apparently rubbed many readers the wrong way.
The news is in, and it ain't good.
Florida has a nasty little habit of screwing up elections. Even if you weren't old enough to vote (and most UF students weren't) in 2000, you certainly heard all about butterfly ballots, hanging chads and Katherine Harris.
Ah, Homecoming weekend. The grills are lit, the RVs are parked, the beer is on ice. We'd be lying if we said we don't enjoy it. Even though Archer Road is more packed than a tin of sardines and our favorite bars are at capacity, we wouldn't trade this three-day weekend for anything.
