The Texas Student Association, a statewide student advocacy and lobbying group, has officially constituted itself at a meeting on the University of North Texas campus.

Texas’s last statewide student association was founded after the Second World War but went dormant about a decade ago. The new group, organized over the course of the last few months, is moving forward in 2009 with a lobbying agenda that emphasizes pocketbook issues.

A quick Google didn’t turn up a website or contact information for the TSA, but if any of our readers have that info, we’d be glad to post it.

Here’s an excellent project.

Students for a Democratic Society has set up a wiki page for links to news coverage of SDS events and actions. The page is set up chronologically, so it’s easy to see what’s new, and easy to check up on what was going on at any particular time.

Since it’s a wiki, of course, anyone can add anything to it whenever they like. And it’s not just for traditional media coverage, either — I learned about it when the page linked to a December post of ours on the aftermath of a Brown SDS protest.

The page is part of a larger SDS wiki that I haven’t had a chance to explore much yet, but what I have seen I really like.
