Re: somewhat encouraging...
CNN's 'scrolling text' on The Tube last night mentioned "hundreds of campuses" but wasn't more specific. The mainstream news won't have it till some shit hits the fan, but there's plenty if you dig just a bit.

I suspect that only at MIT, and certain places in the east bay in California, are where you'll find peace marches right now. I read a lot of mainstream news, and haven't come across much coverage of them...

The only other place I'm aware of is in Austin.
