Long ago, I was a member of the WPLUG board, so I was involved with some 
of the advertising on campus.  I even posted to cmu.misc.markets a 
couple times.  We never got many CMU students anyway, either they're not 
interested in linux (unlikely) or we didn't find the right venue.

   I know that WPLUG was in the Pittsburgh Computer User magazine while 
it was still circulating in Pittsburgh, and there was an effort to 
publicize WPLUG through the Pittsburgh Tech Council too.
