The Gator Football Field--a magnet for everything

CAUTION: OPINIONS IN THIS ARTICLE MAY BE EVEN STUPIDER THAN THEY APPEAR

If you're sitting around the throne and you've read everything else, read this now. The crap we received from this unscientific survey can only make you wonder, "what's that smell?" We asked students what they thought were some of the best and the worst features of campus life. Apparently only knuckleheads were available for comment. But who are we to judge? We came up with the questions and here are some of the answers.

When we asked what was the best place to underage drink we received a list of local watering holes that many below the legal age had tempted fate. With a properly chalked New York ID clearly the answer is everywhere. Yet, according to one student, there is a place you can get in without any form of identification. He voted the Kash N' Karry parking lot as the place to drink, paper bag not required. Honorable mention goes to any R.A.s room. Dishonorable mention goes to the schmuck-o whose answer just ruined a good thing.

When we asked, "Who are the weirdos in your neighborhood?" you responded overwhelmingly that the campus preachers were the best local oddity. The city is also home to several odd physically fit members. Our honorable mentions go to Yoga Man, roller skating Uncle Sam, and the slower than cold molasses 1 mph jogging fanatic. To visit these local legends try hanging out in the Plaza of the Americas or visit University Avenue and 13th Street. You will not be disappointed.

If you have been at UF long enough, you have probably heard a good myth about the campus. Several of you agreed that the best campus myth involves a certain landmark. It seems a brick falls of Century Tower every time a virgin graduates. Fortunately for the student body, many are aware of this architectural quirk and it seems that the students have done their best to keep the building in tact. Honorable mention goes to the 50-yard line club who prove that it is not necessary to make it to an end zone to score.

The football field is a magnet for everything, and Gator football is the best reason to be on campus. The honorable mentions go to the female student body, halter tops, and yes, one student said, "chicks." My apologies to all of the bitches and hos I've offended with the use of this derogatory word.

The worst reason to be on campus involves anything to do with spending the parents' money. Anytime students have to come to campus to pay fees, parking tickets, or spend their hard earned plasma money on unopened books it is enough to send many home in a whimpering state of confusion.

The financial aid office receives top honors for rudest campus office. Many have experienced the joy of this office that seems to only re-direct students concerns to different teller-like windows. Dishonorable mention goes to a professor who denied a student the chance to make up a final after her father died. (And many of you actually believed that you would get a 4.0 if your roommate kicked-it).

After asking people what their favorite Orange and Blue article was the most popular answer was this one. But we didn't ask anyone in the financial aid office, and we still couldn't find anyone who would be wearing white to their wedding.
