[IMC-pgh-editorial] proposal for feature

[emma rocket]

Looks good to me, though I suspect there are a few more actions to
potentially list.

also, we should link to the USAS site, the PWR site (they have one,
right?), matt's caroling article, the PSA site (they have one, right?),
the PSA call to open the books that was posted on the IMC site

mmmmm there musta been some other student organizations doin' stuff eh?
What about Amnesty? Umm and maybe mention a strong student presence at the
various Merton Center actions?

hmm.

i feel like i've hardly existed last semester since i was captain
newspaper all fall. hard to remember.

anyone?
