Columnist offers final observations
By Ryan Spencer | Apr. 18, 2010Ah, my last column of the semester — and my last semester at that. I suppose this is where I get all sentimental in my undergraduate reflection, perhaps mustering enough good will to radiate advice out to some of the younger Gators among us. How quaint that would be, but any knowledge I’d be kicking wouldn’t exactly be worthy of an AAA rating. Plus, I’m not that generous. I guess the matter comes down to just how cliché I’m willing to allow myself to be. Answer: very.

US should stay vigilant, fight Marxists
By PAUL MURTY | Apr. 15, 2010Guess what, folks? The scientists are at it again. No, they’re not doing sciencey things. They’re busy promoting Al Gore’s global warming Ponzi scheme.

Enough Tiger coverage
By CAROLINE HITIMANA | Apr. 15, 2010I am tired of hearing about Tiger Woods in the media. Last week’s coverage of The Masters talked more about Woods than every other golfer combined.

Reader presents Darts & Lauels
By Ryan Galloway | Apr. 15, 2010I’d like to present a way-to-step-up-to-the-plate LAUREL to the organizers and participants of last weekend’s Dance Marathon. More than half a million dollars is a lot and shows what happens when people use money for what actually matters. Good job!

By ASA WALKER | Apr. 15, 2010This weekend Gainesville will be visited by protesters from the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan. This group is known for their protests of military funerals, contempt for homosexuals and other groups.

Evaluations help professors improve skills
By BHAVIK PATEL | Apr. 15, 2010Contrary to the beliefs many students at UF and the Alligator Editorial Board have, I believe that professors and teaching assistants do care about our feedback.

Columnist right about universities
By John Story | Apr. 14, 2010I really enjoyed Nick Miner’s guest column, “Students should question authority.” Everything he said was correct. The universities, including UF, have degenerated into institutions that only care about students regurgitating information.

Westboro appearance will showcase Gainesville’s diversity
By Andrew Piper | Apr. 14, 2010As my first year at UF is coming to a close, I have seen how diverse a large university can be. I think it is very impressive how so many people come together to what may seem like minor events, but are for a very good cause.

Media should focus more on war-crimes
By Teba Mohammad | Apr. 14, 2010Recently, a video was released by WikiLeaks from an unknown source showing the killing of Iraqi civilians by American troops from an Apache helicopter July 12, 2007.

Evaluation editorial too whiney
By Maria Crume | Apr. 14, 2010Could the “Can you hear us now?” editorial be any more whiney? The role of a misunderstood, whine-aholic college student who completely denies that anyone older than 30 actually cares about what he or she thinks is almost as annoying as it is pathetic.
Opinion
Media sensationalization predictable
By Brandon Gagne | Apr. 14, 2010Concerning the Wednesday column by Joshua Lee: I find myself in agreement with the statement that “the media sensationalizes stories and fabricates a world that is exponentially more perilous than the one we live in.” However, such a statement contains information that is common knowledge.

So Taxing: This is a gentle reminder to file your taxes
By The Alligator Editorial Board | Apr. 14, 2010We don’t like numbers at The Alligator. In fact, in one of our classes one of us was asked to multiply 300 and 10.

Letter writer failed to understand Tea Party activists
By David M Estrine | Apr. 14, 2010While Jessica Clackum Herman’s efforts to define the Tea Party in its pure form are laudable, and she certainly brings some bacon to breakfast, she failed to mention some key traits of the Tea Party.

Can you hear us now?
