The debate over the semantics of evolution is time-consuming and wasteful.
Everyone strolling through the Plaza of the Americas Wednesday was treated to a graphic display by a seemingly scientific organization known as The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform.
As a judge in Monday's Miss UF Pageant, I was disappointed to see the Alligator take an uninformed and negative stance on such a positive event.
He said to take a deep breath.
I would like to thank the Alligator for the marvelous bit of backward thinking displayed in Monday's editorial. First after Virginia Tech and now after Northern Illinois University, I have read this paper's disparaging remarks toward those who would take responsibility for their own safety by carrying the means to defend themselves.
A misinformed UF student made a few false accusations Tuesday against the way SG chooses to spend its funds. It is vital for the student body to know facts, not opinions.
Well, it looks like Florida is finally making an effort to get up to speed with the rest of the country - at least when it comes to education.
With increasing frequency, I am beset by excruciating reminders of the world's inexorable descent into pure insanity.
The Gator Party is proud to offer UF an executive ticket and a spring Senate slate that is not only qualified but diverse and talented.
Drunken driving is a problem in Gainesville. As the death of Gainesville Police Department Lt. Corey Dahlem in April 2007 reminds us, this is not a problem of simply underage drinkers. It affects everyone. Solving this serious safety concern should be a priority for the entire community.
Student Government doesn't matter.
Last Friday, Lacey Logsdon alleged that Mark McShera was being deceitful when he suggested there was wasteful spending in Student Government. As a former treasurer candidate with the Pants Party, and after careful examination of the budget, I was appalled at the wasteful spending.
Women at UF competed for the time-honored tradition of being crowned Miss UF on Monday night.
When I heard UF's response to the NIU shooting, I had about the same response as the Editorial Board. A shooting can take less than a minute, so what will a text message system accomplish? By the time the administration is even notified to send out a text alert the shooting will probably be over.
I was surprised to read Monday's editorial - the writer was unwilling to learn in a place "where students can carry weapons along with their laptops."
I am growing ever more disgusted with Hillary Clinton's campaign. Sen. Clinton made a clear promise to respect the Democratic National Convention rules that refused to seat delegates from Florida and Michigan, but now her campaign wants to consider lifting the ban after the fact.
You know, I seriously doubt I have the self-control to save for my retirement. Can everyone's taxes be raised a tiny bit so the government can save my money for me?
I was shocked on Friday when I saw that the Alligator didn't seem to think that the shooting at Northern Illinois University was front-page news. Instead, we were treated to headlines about online voting, President Machen discussing money issues, a robber confessing to police and a huge picture of people holding hands.
I'd like to issue a backward-thinking dart to all those who protested at armed forces recruiting stations Friday.
Recent articles about student activism, including Kim Wilmath's "SDS gives heart to Machen," have used the term "student protesters" to describe any form of advocacy on campus. Activism is not always protesting, and I think the use of this term either shows oversight or a biased opinion on the part of Alligator reporters.
