A Student Worker Demonstration “Pay Us 15!” was held by Student Liberation Front (SLF), Sunrise Appleton and Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) on April 16 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. near the Warch Campus Center. This event called for the Lawrence administration to increase student workers’ minimum wage to $15 per hour to respond to students’ financial difficulties, including their tuition fees alongside their academic life.    About 30 students attended the protest. Organizers of the event put out signs including “Wage Increase Now” and “Raise the Wage” to express their demands. They also distributed fliers regarding the demonstration to students who walked by and asked if they had signed the electronic petition form in support of raising students’ minimum wage.  

SOUP offers grab-and-go crafts

Photo by Alana Melvin On Wednesday, March 31, Lawrence University’s Student Organization for University Programming (SOUP) hosted their Adopt a Rock! event. Due to cam- pus-wide COVID-19 restrictions taking place during the first two weeks of the term, the event was grab-and-go style. Students were able to pick up a carton of supplies in Warch Campus Center. Within the carton provided, stu- dents were given their own pet rock, as well as a pair of googly eyes to decorate with. Beyond the supplies provided, cre- ativity was left up to each individual stu- dent. SOUP, as a way to engage students during the two week-long campus quar- antine, will continue to offer other grab- and-go art-related projects until students are able to safely gather for events.
