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.
I was emboldened by news last week that robotics finally made the technological leap forward necessary to create the one thing that can conceivably save our country from collapsing under the weight of our own self-importance — lying robot politicians.
Through the first 97 minutes of Florida’s football season, Gators fans had little reason to be optimistic.
The proposed Islamic community center known as Park 51 in New York City has drawn a lot of criticism that, quite frankly, makes Americans and the media look absolutely foolish.
The circus came to town this week.
The Gators lost, but the fans won.
One week is all the Gators will get.
Gen. Petraeus said it may endanger troops if the Quran burning occurs. Hillary Clinton called their planned inferno disgraceful. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg called the international fiasco distasteful. Gov. Charlie Crist called it offensive.
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.
My fraternity, Delta Upsilon, holds justice as its founding and most important principle. It is my sincerest belief that this is the reason the fraternity has persisted since it was founded in 1834.
As a former Gainesville resident, I’m displeased with the reaction to the Dove World Outreach Center’s planned “Burn a Quran Day.” Students need to use their education and make sure these people know they do not represent Gainesville.
Until Sept. 11, we saw terrorists as nothing but extremists who had taken their violent turn in history.
We’ve come an awfully long way since Geneva.
University Police Department Chief Linda Stump announced Tuesday she’s still awaiting an independent report from the consulting agency responsible for reviewing the UPD’s response and subsequent March 2 shooting of a UF graduate student while on campus.
