Less than two days after Muslims across the globe celebrated the cancellation of a scheduled Quran burning in Gainesville, France stepped into the anti-Muslim arena as it banned “concealing the face in the public sphere,” a clear reference to the Muslim burqa.
The sense of college is invoked when certain words are uttered. Degree. Campus. Quad. Facebook.
Have you ever watched interviews with Muhammad Ali in the days before his last fight?
Revolutions have to start somewhere.
The military might soon see an overwhelming number of dirty little secrets come out.
I want to clear up misconceptions that were represented about the Inter-Residence Hall Association in Monday’s Alligator. IRHA serves as the major programming arm of UF’s residence halls as well as the students’ voice in the residence halls. Furthermore, IRHA prides itself on its ability to build great leaders out of its ranks, many of whom go on to achieve great things in the university and the world.
IRHA has come a long way these past few years. One would think it would be in the IRHA body’s nature to work together to resolve residence life issues and build community.

While drunkenly watching “Closer,” I vaguely remember Natalie Portman saying, “Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off, but it’s better if you do.” And it made me think: Could I pull off a pink wig?
I am saddened that Pastor Terry Jones of Dove World Outreach Center is leading an outrageous act of burning Qurans on Sept. 11. I am saddened that this may result in harm to Americans worldwide as Gen. David Petraeus stated Monday. Ultimately, I am saddened that Jesus is being misrepresented to millions while news outlets across the world continue to pounce on this story as it unfolds.
You’ve got space cleared on your floor for a blow-up mattress, maybe even a neatly folded towel ready if you take pride in being a host.
Ouch, Rick. Gators, we just got snubbed.
The blame game takes on a different meaning when the stakes suddenly involve more than 200 million gallons of oil, a four-month investigation, 11 lives, ecological calamity and billions of dollars in retribution.
