Editorial Frustrated, frantic and desperate, you are about to end your search for a decent study space on campus. Library West is at capacity. Marston Science Library is so full that the fi re marshall would faint at the sight of it. Students are packed in like sardines. The sleep-deprived, zombie-like crowd smells strongly of fatigue and caffeine. The line for Starbucks stretches far into the dis- tance, over the horizon and into the sunset. Several students give up hope and pitch tents for the night, huddle around campfi res and roast weenies under the Marston French Fries. You still have one last spot to check: Newell Hall. You jog down the steps and past the Hub. Racing toward the doors, you fl ing them open and enter. You scour the inside. The fi rst fl oor is full and each fl oor up- ward is even fuller. But fi nally, you see it: a thin, gleaming sliver of silver. You politely ask, “Is this spot taken?” gesturing to the vacant six inches at the end of a metal bench. Your new seatmate looks at you, smiles warmly, scoots down and whispers Darts and Laurels Our country is in a state of disorder and confusion. Pipe bombs are being mailed to prominent Democrats and critics of President Donald Trump. Those targeted already include former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, former CIA director John O. Brennan, former president Barack Obama, former vice president Joe Biden, former attorney general Eric Holder and actor Robert De Niro. Ten packages holding pipe bombs have been discovered so far. The investigation has turned to South Florida, where law en- forcement offi cials suspect the packages were mailed from, ac- cording to The New York Times.

SOCCER, from pg. 15 Razorbacks (11-4-3, 6-3-1 SEC) in the span of four minutes. Her fi rst goal in the 53rd minute came easily from Beitz’s stumble, and she struck in the 57th minute from 10 yards away for goal No. 2 to put UF up 3-0. “As a striker, when you get the fi rst goal, they just come,” Rose said after the match. “Being in front of the goal, the more you are, the more comfortable you get.” The Gators fi nished the match with an 11-7 (six on goal for UF to UA’s three) lead in shots. The shutout win also gave Marckese her 28th career shutout, which broke the record for the most solo shutouts in UF history. “[Breaking the record] on Senior Day is cool because I still don’t feel like a senior. I’m too young for that,” 20-year- old Marckese said. “But for me, it’s a team thing. I’m not gonna get a shutout without the other 10 people in front of me.” The Gators will advance to the SEC Tournament and play their fi rst match on Sunday. Despite the team’s losing re- cord and overall lack of offensive power, the team is any- thing but deterred heading into the postseason. “We know we have the potential to beat anybody in the country,” Solis said. “We’re going for it all.” Chris Houston / Alligator Staff Goalkeeper Kaylan Marckese was honored along with nine other seniors before Thursday night’s game. @riverhwells Marckese capped the night off with her 28th career shutout, a new Gators record.
