As a casual smoker, I am a bit disturbed by the views expressed by those involved with UF's anti-smoking "task force," who claim that their long-term (or not-so-long-term) goal is to make smoking prohibited across campus.
In a true act of holiday heroism, a Sacramento, Calif., man valiantly defended holiday guests from a knife-wielding, drunk neighbor using only a giant candy cane.
Last week's violent attacks in Mumbai, India, echoed back to the UF campus, and the UF Lubavitch-Chabad Jewish Student and Community Center held a public memorial and vigil service to mourn the victims of the attacks.

I was born into the Jewish faith, but I started identifying myself as agnostic once I entered college.
