What's Going On?
By The Nation
We're hoping to generate, and contribute to, some useful and interesting conversation this year. But, to be frank, we're not sure exactly what's on people's minds. So we're hoping people can let us know what some of the big issues on campus are this year. Where are progressive organizations focusing their energies? What events and protests are taking place? What are campus publications and blogs writing about?

Indeed, pressure from student groups who cite the soft-drink giant's human rights and environmental abuses has led to boycotts of Coca Cola by several college campuses. Years ago, parents and students who considered soft drinks a health threat resisted attempts by companies such as Coca Cola to cultivate a presence at high schools--a controversy that was eventually dubbed the "Cola Wars." What does Coke mean to students at your school?
