The College Libertarians are fighting for their political ideals as well as some understanding this semester. Several students asked in an informal survey could not even identify what a Libertarian is.
To combat their relative obscurity, the College Libertarians have sparked some interest across campus with a recent chalking blitz with slogans such as, “Who is Ron Paul?” “Ron Paul for America” and “Google Ron Paul!”
Andrew Loewer ’08, president of College Libertarians at Cornell said, “The chalkings are a great way to get people thinking, even people who aren’t interested in politics.”
The chalkings provoked interest around campus, sent some students to their computers to investigate, were ignored by many and caused confusion for others.
