Drinking policy should apply to everyone

By Jennifer Allen | Sep. 29, 2008

As a recent alumna coming back to UF to tailgate, I was caught off guard by a new campus rule. While playing beer pong with friends, we were accosted by two members of the University Police Department who said we had to break up the game immediately, wrote down all our names, took our pictures and said if we were caught again they could arrest us for trespassing.

Bush’s exit won’t hurt ‘Daily Show’

By Aaron Ehrlich | Sep. 28, 2008

Regarding Anish Mitra's diatribe on "The Daily Show," I find it tragic that Mitra feels "the show's structure makes it painfully evident" that its future will be in jeopardy once Bush is out of office.

Alligator shows political bias

By Bob Olivo | Sep. 28, 2008

"The Independent Florida Alligator. We Inform. You Decide." These eight words grace the top of every issue, but what are they worth?

SAT still relevant admissions factor

By Mitch Ponitz | Sep. 28, 2008

The SAT has a place in the college application process. It's not an arbitrary evaluation of a student's math and verbal abilities. It acts as a de facto intelligence test for applicants.

No–fumble rule should apply to all players

By Jamie Wilson | Sep. 28, 2008

Now, I know everyone is angry about the Mississippi loss, so I'm not going to discuss my anger about that. We made terrible mistakes in such blinding succession in the third quarter that we didn't deserve to win that game.

Christianity influenced founding fathers

By RACHEL KOPEC | Sep. 24, 2008

It is baseless to say that America's founding fathers were, to quote Wes Hunt, "vehemently anti-Christian," and to characterize the preachers of the Second Great Awakening as swindlers.

Orange and Blue holds UF accountable

By Stacey Gray | Sep. 22, 2008

Monday's article, "Revisions satisfy Orange and Blue," was woefully misleading. The victory won by the Orange and Blue Party wasn't about what the revised Student Conduct Code contained, but about what it did not contain.

Gators conservative offense not all bad

By Michael Black | Sep. 22, 2008

In regard to Brian Steele's column about the Gator offense's lack of flair, I just want to say his view may be a little rushed.

McCain doesn’t support troops

By Francisco Sotomayor | Sep. 18, 2008

I opened up the Alligator on Wednesday to find an awful rant by Andrew Fells. I would like to set him straight. First, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's bubble has just burst. Maybe it has something to do with her personal tanning booth or her cutting funding for Alaska's Special Olympics.

OPINION | LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

McCain’s voting record consistently bad

By Alicia Swift | Sep. 18, 2008

Andrew Fells' editorial was appalling, as was the decision to publish it. Poorly written and childish, there was no logical structure. It consisted simply of random rants and feelings.
