Think back to when you applied to college. There were piles of applications and many opportunities to go to other schools, but each of us chose to come to UF.
Florida received an F for affordability in higher education despite some of the lowest tuition rates in the country, but it's easy to see why.
The Gator Party's vote to cut off students' time to address the Student Senate - and Gator Party Leader Jonathan Fager's attempt to rationalize that decision in yesterday's letter - shows that the Gator Party just doesn't want to hear from students.
In yesterday's letter, Gator Party Leader Jonathan Fager claimed public debate was used by the minority to delay meetings of the Senate, giving an excuse to his party's efforts to cut off the public's voice.
Daniel Seco's column made me "aw." And not the sarcastic, "poor baby, want a bottle?" kind of aw. I can sympathize because I feel like I've been there.
In response to the article about this week's Senate meeting and the limiting of public debate, I would like to clarify a few things. Public debate exists to give students input in Senate, and that is what it should be used for.
Every UF student in Gainesville should storm University Avenue when we win against Alabama in the Southeastern Conference Championship Game so we can get it out of our systems.
This spring, on-campus residents will pay a midyear increase in rent.

The smoking editorial in Tuesday's Alligator was one of the most hypocritical statements I've ever seen from the Alligator.

I want to respond to the article about the teenager who is being charged with homicide as an adult. The fact that this kid may have taken another person's life is a tragic and reprehensible circumstance, but it does not mean his life should also be taken.
Professors are not doing their students any favors by rescheduling final exams to the last week of classes.
In response to Wes Hunt, I am tired of hearing the beliefs of our nation's founders taken advantage of. Some were more religious than others, and none was an atheist.
School on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving should be canceled.
In her article on Monday, Andrea Williamson displayed a stunning lack of knowledge in any field involving economics, mathematics or common sense.
I think it is appalling the UF Student Body president is supporting large tuition increases without any guarantees from the administration that these funds will go toward items that will directly benefit students, especially considering the current state of the economy.
While I applaud Andrea Williamson's staunch defense of women's rights in her health insurance column on Monday, I feel her column is unfair.
Alex Harper's Nov. 19 letter to the editor took issue with the Alligator's "condescending, overly rude stance" regarding the Tau Epsilon Phi fraternity hazing investigation.
On Election Night, I was disappointed with Sen. John McCain's loss, but I was truly impressed with President-elect Barack Obama's acceptance speech and his resounding victory. I even believed in giving an Obama presidency a chance. After all, that is what "Country First" means.
