Veggie Power: Actor Woody Harrelson biked onto campus in May, clad in clothes made from hemp and followed by an "eco-bus" powered largely by vegetable oil. It was all part of his West Coast college speaking tour, which included a standing-room-only address in Kresge Auditorium. After opening with a few jokes and answering questions about his movie career, Harrelson got serious, criticizing the war on drugs and advocating veganism and civil disobedience in support of environmental causes. "The seed I want to plant," he said, "is that you make the connection between what you're doing and what's going on in the world."
