Story Ideas
So currently I am sitting outside of the Springfield Art Museum waiting to see The Vagina Monologues, a controversial play that aims to empower women. However, before winding up here I've heard a lot of distain about it being on campus, asking why it's needed, and what's the point. I've heard that about all of the "Naked Truth Week" activities. So I think it would be interesting to know why people feel this way. Bam idea one.
Idea número dos: minorities and the election. I think it might be interesting to do a piece on the election from minority points of view, because minorities are commonly targeted in speeches, proposed legislation, and national discussion. I would try to make it local by focusing on the Witt community.
Idea trois: sexual assault on campus, the fliers, and who's fault is it. I think this is important because we received the news stories but nobody covered what campus/ students are saying. Another important thing that I think really needs to be addressed is why we didn't know about it when it happened and the fact that the victim is never to blame, which is commonly forgotten.
That's all I've got, let me know what you think!
Edit: I'm going to cover number one.

Witt's Best and Worst
I can't tell you how many people ask me what my favorite class at Wittenberg has been. Easy answer; any class that Dr. Rosenberg has taught, simply because he is probably the most passionate professor I have ever had. When I go into one of his classes I know I'll be walking out with four pages of notes a a whole new view on Africa. However the flip side, my least favorite class, is a little harder to answer. I have pretty much liked all of my classes, except one: Journey Into The Fantastic a course in russian literature. The class was really difficult to keep up with, 70-150 pages to get through on any given night. The journal prompts were vague and could be interpreted 50 different ways, so you had to guess which way the professor wanted it. God forbid you guess wrong and get an "F" on a paper. It was pretty rough.
