Student Newspaper Highlights

There's a lot of great content that comes from St. Louis students every week. Here are a few highlights I've found from the past week:

StudLife Editorial on efforts to increase campus sustainability at Wash U.

A report on Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Nicholas Kristof's talk at Graham Chapel and call to combat discrimination against women.

A report on the student response to the Global Energy Future Symposium.

And, in fact, the students who organized the protest had their own excellent take on the events.

The SAE fraternity helping to build homes in North St. Louis.

A call for students to get more involved politically.

The University News at SLU reminds students to register to vote.

The SLU SGA is working on educating students about the flood in Pakistan and raising money for relief funds.

The Transit Alliance at SLU will be celebrating Metro.

The UMSL Current's discussion of the Ed Martin/ Russ Carnahan debate surpsingly cited the St. Louis Activist Hub blog.

Ryan Krull asks questions about the new proposals to expand the governments ability to wiretap.

The Current editorial board also took both Republicans and Democrats (but mostly Republicans) to task for not fighting hard enough for the environment.

There was a report on the "30 states, 30 Mosques" tour that stopped at Webster University.

The Webster Journal also had a nice report on a visit from Emmy-winning filmmaker Larry Lansburgh, who talked about a group of Ecuadorians who fended of oil companies from the rainforest.

Let me know if there are other articles that I missed!
