I am loathe to introduce anything remotely political to this list, but
this actually involves Northwestern:

Last week, we solicited questions from HuffPost College's newspaper
network for an upcoming live video chat with Secretary of Education
Arne Duncan and Director of Domestic Policy Melody Barnes. We asked
the student journalists to engage their readers and find out what
college students want to know -- about the Student Aid and Fiscal
Responsibility Act specifically and the Obama administration's plans
for higher education in general.

More than 20 schools participated in the initial ask, and we narrowed
the pool to 13 stand-out questions. Over the weekend, we asked the
school papers to find the students who submitted the stand-out
questions and record them asking the questions. The finalist videos
include students from Colby College, Towson University, Washington
University, The College of New Jersey, the University of Texas-Austin,
Northwestern University, Mt. Holyoke College and the Savannah College
of Art and Design.

Now it's up to YOU to decide which question of the 13 is the
strongest. You have until 12 a.m. EST Wednesday to vote for your TOP
question. HuffPost College will fly the editor of the paper who filmed
the top voted question to Washington D.C.! The winning editor will
join HuffPost College in a 30-minute live chat at the White House,
where we'll ask the TOP question in addition to a few others. The
video chat will be streamed live on WhiteHouse.gov and HuffPost on
Friday at 9:15 a.m. EST.

According to a tweet this afternoon from @huffpostcollege, "It's a
tight race between Northwestern, Wash U and Colby."

vote away!
