Ron Paul best bet for Republicans
By Graham Picklesimer | Nov. 28, 2007Here is the deal with Ron Paul: Ron Paul is a former flight surgeon and OB/GYN-turned Republican congressman with some Libertarian leanings ranging from sensible (ending the occupation of Iraq and the war on drugs) to the downright asinine (abolishing the Federal Reserve System, returning to the gold standard). Libertarianism has always had a strong Internet presence. This, coupled with the fact that college students spend a lot of time on the Internet, makes it clear why Paul is so popular with college students.

UF needs cheaper - or free - Gatorade
By Mark Mullersman | Nov. 28, 2007I am responding to Wednesday's article celebrating the life of Dr. Robert Cade, one of four UF researchers responsible for inventing Gatorade. I was quite surprised to learn that since 1970, UF has drawn more than ,150 million in royalties from Gatorade sales. After reading this, it made me think back to a September Alligator article about the increased soda costs on campus, part of the objective being to encourage people to make a healthier choice.
