Why those Hamline students are recording everything

During my December college winter coverage, I ran across the vlog (video log) of Hamline University student Ruby Crews of Arizona. She recorded her own reaction to her first blizzard and posted it to the university's Web site.

Turns out she's part of a crew of video bloggers for the university -- students who spend their time recording all aspects of campus life. (Sounds like a smart move -- great fodder for prospective students, and I bet it's cheap and effective marketing, too.)

They're the subject of an episode of the Life to the Max show above.
