This last week, The student government held a protest at my school. The board was voting on a 6% tuition raise. It was a huge deal; signs, shirts, speakers. I was proud of my classmates, because it was well organized, effective, peaceful, and an important issue. While we didn't win, they did decide to lower the increase from 6 to 3.7%, which made a good bit of difference.

Below is an article from a local paper in Oregon:

As I've mentioned before, this is my sixth year of college.  I believe I have also mentioned that previously I was a physics major.  What I might not have mentioned (for no reason other than it hasn't come up) is that I am a Christian.  For those of you that find that oxymoronic there is more!  I got my education in the sciences at a Christian universtiy.  It's true.
