Editorial “This is Ground Control to Major Tom,” David Bowie sings to you through your earbuds. As you peer through the tinted window of an RTS bus, the twinkling lights fl oating around campus buildings seem a thousand miles away. The constella- tion of lamps hovering above Turlington Plaza shine like light- houses welcoming early morning visitors like yourself. Cam- pus feels as if it were Mars, desolate and complete with the red brick terrain. You are the only passenger in the large tin can of a bus rolling slowly up Newell Drive. You can barely see anything in the dark, but the bus calls out the stops autono- mously and seems to know which way to go. The air is cool and inviting as the bus slows to a stop and the doors part to let you out. Standing in the silence, you see UF in a new light, quarantined from the usual activity and bustle — in a cosmic bubble without distraction or noise. Soon campus will wake, but for now, the stars still twinkle in the soft daylight peeking over the horizon. The obelisk of Century Tower looms like a dark monument from another world. The sun returns and the sky brightens. The lonely, tranquil scene is gone but replaced with familiar faces. Brightness il- luminates the fi rst organization to stake out a table in Turling- ton. They unfurl a welcoming banner that reads: Darts & Laurels We don’t really know what to make of Kanye West. If you saw his last TMZ interview Tuesday, you also know he is a strange guy. He channels the “energy” of people sitting near him. In a style typical of Kanye, he tweeted something as puzzling as his personality the other day: “Reaching out to Column Colin Kaepernick. I would like you to speak with the presi- dent to tell him your experience directly.
