I can't help but wonder if recent letters defending China's "liberation" (invasion) of Tibet were penned by Chinese Communist Party members doing student work at UF. This is the official party line in a country without a free press, where opposition to one-party, communist rule is dealt with harshly and quickly. Americans remember the events of Tiananmen Square some years ago, when hundreds of student protesters were shot and killed while peacefully assembling. But the younger generation of Chinese don't; they receive information only after it has been carefully scrutinized and edited by the country's 30,000 government-employed Internet censors, among others.

I find it disgusting that there is a lawsuit over Einstein's Notes. I took Michael Moulton's Wildlife Issues class in 2005, and I was required to buy the mandatory "electronic textbook."

All of this mass-produced, all of this what I would call "cheap quality" and all overpriced.

A UF student won more than $25,000 worth of prizes, including a trip to Singapore, on Tuesday's episode of "The Price is Right."
