Story Pitches

Dear Editor,

With the NCAA World Series approaching for men's baseball, the Washington State Baseball team is on the verge of getting a bid to play in Omaha, Nebraska. The team is second in the Pac-10 with a (15-7) record which would qualify them for a spot in the world series if they beat their cross state rivals from the University of Washington. I think it would be an interesting story to cover as far as their good season and what it could mean for the university in general.

My two sources would be the manager of the baseball team and a couple of players off the team to give their input on the season and such. The story is intended for Washington State University and the students and faculty that are involved.

Dear Editor,

Last week at Stubblefields, the bar located on Greek Row, was flood and caused extensive damage to the basement and office located down below. The employee that flooded it is new and I wanted to see the follow up story to see what happened to the new bartender and what was the cost of damages to the bar.

Since Stubblefields is one of the main bars and most profitable in Pullman, I want to know if it affected the sales and business this past weekend and made people not want to come to the bar because of the damages. People that I could possibly interview are the bartenders and the owner DJ Goldfinger.

Dear Editor,

The budget cuts that have been plaguing WSU are continuing. With two majors just being cut, Sports Management was a program that attracted students and prospective students from across the world. I want to know how the cut to the program has affected the university and how it has affected admissions.

People that I could possibly interview are the Office of Admissions and President Elson S. Floyd. They both would have the answers to what the budget cuts entail and how the university is affected by the Sports Management being gone.
