How Minn. students can study up and vote

Now there's no excuse

On the heels of the gubernatorial video interviews on higher education comes the MnSCU “Friends Action Network” Election Guide.

It’s all to help students get out to vote — and decide who to vote for.

The site contains:

the candidate interview videos — soon to be broken town by topic
candidate filings
election-related dates
help in finding polling places
campus election events and tips on holding them

You can also get lots of information at StudentsMatter.org — the Minnesota state students’ site.

Now there’s no excuse.
