Campus ban removes smokers/ rights
By The Alligator Editorial Board | Aug. 3, 2009As if university students who smoke didn/t have enough to worry about already, UF will ban cigarette smoking on campus beginning in July 2010. Healthy Gators is quick to point out that only 9 percent of UF students smoke. But just because someone is in the minority doesn/t mean their rights should be taken away. Last we checked, this was America.

SG should not determine content
By Neil Gundavda | July 29, 2009During last Tuesday/s Student Government Senate meeting, I was rather disturbed by certain comments that were made asking the Alligator to not report the events that transpired.

Florida's policy against text and driving lacks spine
By The Alligator Editoral Board | July 27, 2009Texting while driving is a scenario that is familiar to most students at UF, and the concept of cell-phone-addicted-screaming-girl is a trope that is ubiquitous in our current pop culture. (We recently saw it in an episode of the Jonas Brothers/ TV show, so like, even babies know about it. Don/t ask.)
