collecting links for Oct 7th follow-up

[Vanessa]

I've been collecting links for an Oct 7th follow post on the NFM blog,
http://thenewfacultymajority.blogspot.com. Additionally, I'll either
bookmark them on Delicious with #Oct7 tag or bundle them in feed
reader, possibly both. I'd appreciate any links &/or pics you can add.
In particular, I'm hoping to add local coverage from areas less
prominently featured in national coverage.

Here is my Oct 7 follow list so far:

Baton Rouge, where “Defend Public Education Day” was commemorated with
a mock jazz funeral procession. http://anticap.wordpress.com/2010/10/08/defending-public-higher-education/

BATON ROUGE – Hundreds of students, faculty and staff participated in
“Defend Public Education Day” on Thursday, Oct. 7, with a jazz funeral
procession on the Parade Ground at Louisiana State University.

The event was organized to raise awareness of the potential effects of
proposed budget cuts.

It was sponsored by two student groups, Proud Students and the LSU
Graduate Student Association and two faculty groups, the LSU Faculty
Senate and LSUnited; and the Louisiana Association of Educators.

The jazz funeral procession, which included faculty, staff and
students dressed in black, began on the Parade Ground, passed in front
of the LSU Student Union and turned toward the Memorial Tower before
stopping at the LSU War Memorial.
