I will donate $0 to charity. Sorry.
Most college students these days have a profile on MySpace or Facebook, or both. You can join 'groups' on these Web sites. There is generally no need to belong to a certain clique to join one of these groups. All you have to do is have a common interest, or non-interest.
My personal preference these days is for the groups that start out with "For every (blank) people that join..." Sometimes, the focus of these groups is serious. For example, this group
committed to donating money for Darfur. There are, of course, those groups with a less serious aim. For instance, try looking at this group that doesn't
seem to like kittens very much.
Groups on Facebook can be fun. Do you have a group that you enjoy being a part of? Why not
post a story about it or
start your own blog?

News
The Campus Press has a story about the
recently-opened Twenty Ninth Street mall. I'm just happy that there will be another Apple store around so I can be reminded why I won't spend $200 on a music player with planned obsolescence.
The Colorado Daily has
a story about your UCSU elections. Apparently, turnout for the first two days already beat the total turnout for the last UCSU election. Lift high the torch of democracy, folks!
And CNN picked up
a story about how a CU researcher figured out that it isn't only your dog that suffers from worms, but dinosaurs, too.
Have a great week! Thanksgiving is just around the corner.
