<p>The chronicle of higher education has some pictures up on its website of various colleges, plus some great articles on how different colleges affected by Katrina are coping. You don't have to be a subscriber to access most of the articles (at least for today) <a href="http://www.chronicle.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.chronicle.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>
