WALLA WALLA -- Whitman College students will rally at 12:30 p.m. today to protest the use of coal as a power source.

Students will gather at Ankney Field -- the central campus quad -- to hear speakers, write letters and sign petitions.

The petitions include one urging President Obama to block the Keystone XL pipeline and another urging Washington Lands Commissioner Peter Goldmark to stop shipments of coal through the state.
