Ben Folds forgot the lyrics to the Postal Service song “Such Great Heights,” so he spontaneously pulled Amit Sood, a sophomore in the John Cook School of Business, on stage to help him. This is one of the coolest things ever.
Hanson, along with Toms Shoes, is visiting campus to participate in a charitable walk across campus tomorrow, October 1.
Toms Shoes is a company founded on the idea that for every pair of shoes they sell, they will give a pair to someone who needs them. Toms plans to give over 300,000 pairs in 2009.
The “Take a Walk” event is a one mile walk across campus in which students are invited to walk in solidarity with the 40% of the world without shoes. The members of Hanson will participate in the event, and will invite others to do the mile barefoot. Then they’ll perform three songs at the bookstore and sign their book, Take the Walk.
For every mile walked, Hanson will donate $1 to one of five challenges facing Africa. Registration for the walk begins at 12 pm in the bookstore. The walk begins at 1 pm with the event concluding around 2:30.
The event is sponsored by Students United for Africa. For more information, visit www.takethewalk.net.

The SLU Cycling Team is hosting a ride this Friday as part of Livestrong Day, an international day of awareness about the fight against caner.
Everyone is invited to join the ride. The team will start at 2:30 at the clock tower and take different routes to accommodate different levels of riders. Even if you’ve only got an old mountain bike, you can still come out and support a good cause.
Wear yellow if you have it. If not, SLU cycling will be passing out yellow Livestrong wristbands to everyone who attends.

SLU Connection just received this presidential message from Michael Harriss, SGA President, on the red phone:
We would like to extend an invitation to you for the Student Activity Fee Town Hall, which is being hosted by the Student Government Association. The event is tomorrow, October 1st, from 7:00 – 8:30 in the Wool Ballrooms of the Busch Student Center.
This is your opportunity to find out where that $90 you pay into the Student Activity Fee actually goes! We will start the evening with a general overview of what the fee is, which will then lead us to a discussion of the ways that you can get money from this fund, and the ways it has been allocated in the past.
Another important topic that will be discussed is some future options that might be taken in regards to the Student Activity Fee. We want to hear what you as a SLU student—who is paying this fee—has to say about how it is being used and how we should use it in the future. This is your chance to tell us how to spend your money! We hope to see you all tomorrow evening.
