story proposal
Story one proposal
The Washington State University’s police department makes multiple arrests every year for alcohol violations. I plan to dig deeper into this subject and find if there is a trend in the data regarding police activity and environment of the school. I plan to interview not only WSU officers but also the records manager for the department. I will have to access public record in order to get up to date statistics.
Story two proposal
My other story will be regarding gun control on camps. What are the laws in place currently with students and officers carrying guns on campus? I will still be contacting the WSU police department and find out current standings on the subject. Looking though the police daily log I noticed they have to check in and out guns on a daily basis.
in both of these cases I will consult the wsu police department and Safety Guide.

Headline: Young Democrats Push for Voter Registration
Pullman, Wash.- Washington State University Young Democrats emphasized the importance of voter registration on campus due to an open seat on the city council, at a meeting Monday Sept. 21, 2009.
President of Young Democrats, Angel Ojede said that although this is not a national presidential election year it is important to do a change of address and vote in the upcoming Pullman City Council election.
This is a critical election because one of the positions being elected is the representative for Ward 3. Ward 3 encompasses all of Washington State University and much of College Hill, Pioneer Hill, and the surrounding areas where students live.
This is also a major election because unlike most elections for Pullman City Council, the Ward 3 incumbent has an opponent Dave Gibney.
“Making College Hill into the U-district is no longer on the table for discussion. Although there are still a lot of other initiatives that are on the table that involve improving relationships between the residents of Ward 3 and the City,” Gibney said at the Young Democrats meeting.
Young Democrats are pushing students to be active voters. They will have an information booth on Glenn Terrell Mall from Sept. 23 to Oct. 5, in order to promote voter registration.
Elizabeth Walker, vice president of Young Democrats said, “Last year during our voter registration we had 16 hundred people to either register or do a change of address.”
Although Walker does not expect as high of numbers, because it is not a presidential election year, they still hope to spread the word and help people register to vote.
Another issue Young Democrats are addressing is Referendum 71 most commonly know for regarding same sex and senior domestic partnership. Currently giving them the same rights as a married couple. This issue is now back on the table and being voted on once again. Young Democrats is working to educate and promote the voting yes on Referendum 71.
Information regarding Referendum 71 will also be available at the table for voter registration both they will be hosting.
At that table there will also be information about the president’s health care plan. Young Democrats will also have resources for individuals to contact their member of congress to voice their opinions.
Young Democrats’ 10 to 15 members and meet every Monday in the Center For Undergraduate Education, CUE, in room 407.
They work closely with local democrats and often and have great communication with the Whitman County Democrats.

gun ban
Mayor Gregory J. Heep banned firearms on all property owned by the city of Pulltown today.
“The city’s parks, community centers and events are safer without guns," Heep said in a press release. " We can’t wait for another incident, another innocent victim. We need to act, and we call on the Legislature to pass common-sense guns laws.”
The executive order prohibits firearms on all property owned by the city of Pulltown, including parks and community centers. Violation of this order results in a series of fines escalading in amount upon number of offense. This ordinance is in reaction to a incident last year where three people were injured in a shooting at Pulltown Center's Northwest Wheatberry festival.
Although some people are in full support of this new ordinance others feel strongly towards their right to bear arms.
“I have the right to protect myself, whether it’s at home or in public.” said Keri Calender, 29 a resident of West Pulltown.

Pulitzer remake
The worst Merrimack River tragedy in nearly a century left four boys ages 7 to 11 dead yesterday afternoon, after they fell though thin ice.
As seven boys finished their snack run from the Lawrence Boys & Girls Club to Hanson's Market yesterday afternoon, a sudden urge to slide around prompted 11-year-old William Rodriguez to dash for the serene expanse of river ice.
The ice was one to two inches thick where they ventured off the river bank. Four inches is considered the minimum to support more than one person, and river ice may not be safe even at that thickness because of currents and other factors
Dead are William Rodriguez, 11, of 292 Howard St.; Christopher Casado, 7, of 18 Jasper Court; Mackendy Constant, 8, of 7 Clinton St.; and Victor Baez, 9, 46 Bernard Ave.
Police said the four dead boys were trapped under the ice at least 10 minutes.
Surviving the incident were Francis Spraus, 9, 14 School St.; Christopher's brother Ivan Casado, 9, 18 Jasper Court; Jaycob Morales, 10, 4 Winslow Place.
Ivan and Francis were released from the hospital last night, and recalled the story from its quiet start.
"I threw the rope out once and it landed too far away, so I threw it out again, and again it was too far for them to reach," said Jacques Fournier, a retired maintenance worker.
"Willie said he wanted to go down to the river, to slide on the Ice," Ivan said. “We tried to stop him.”
Members of the state police, Lawrence Police and Merrimack Valley dive teams entered the 38-degree water and conducted an area search to be sure no one was left behind.
Equipped with ice rescue suits arrived and after a search of the area where the boys went in, found the four remaining boys under the ice, 25 feet from shore in 15-20 feet of water.
"My legs started to get stiff, and I had a freezing headache," Francis said. "I was hanging on to Christopher, but he started to slip under. I tried holding on to his hand, but it was like he let go."
Because of the steep embankment, rescuers were forced to use ladders to bring the children up off the river to the waiting ambulances.
It was a playful impulse that ended with his plunge through the ice, setting off an ill-fated rescue attempt that deteriorated into a mass of desperate children clinging to each other in 35-degree water.
The catastrophe left their families crushed and rescue workers shaken following an afternoon of fighting a river of broken ice, the steep mud-covered bank and driving rain

Headline:
Gym Class Heroes Comes to Pullman
Summary:
With their unique blend of hip-hop, rock, soul and punk music, Gym Class Heroes will be taking the Washington State University campus by storm.
The award winning Gym Class Heroes will perform October 18th, in the Compton Union Building, also known as the CUB. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the concert will start at 8 p.m. All tickets are general admission. Tickets for this event will be $25 for W.S.U. students and $35 to the general public. Tickets went on sale Tuesday September 8th and will continue to be available until all 14 hundred tickets are sold out.
Annie Brooks, concerts programmer for the Student Entertainment Board, is a fan of Gym Class Heroes and expects the concert to be sold out therefore suggests students to getting tickets early.
Brooks said she got the idea for booking Gym Class Heroes one day when she was listening to music on her laptop and Cupid’s Chokehold came on, and thought they would deliver a great performance.
Renae L. Dahlquist, director of the Student Entertainment Board said, SEB paid about $38,000 to get Gym Class Heroes to Washington State University.
With singles such as "The Queen and I”, "Cupid's Chokehold", "Clothes Off!!" and "Cookie Jar," Gym Class Heroes have made their mark on the dance and club seen and this concert will be no exception.
Junior hospitality business management major, Michelle Wallace was one of the first to buy her ticket when they went on sale. Wallace said, “ I wanted to make sure I got a ticket, because last year when Three 6 Mafia came the tickets went really fast!”
Dahlquist said they have hired the same crowd management team they have at Beasley Performing Arts Coliseum. She also said features such as police and Emergency Medical Technician will be present. “There will be no bag checks but were hoping people won’t bring a lot of stuff with them.” Dahlquist said.
Gym Class Heroes has four members; lead singer Travis McCoy, guitarist Disashi Lumumba-Kasongo, drummer Matt McGiney, and Eric Roberts on the bass.
Gym Class Heroes have released several CD’s since 2001when they premiered the album “For the Kids”, “The Papercut Chronicles” in 2005, “As Cruel as School Children” in 2006, and “The Quilt” in 2008. At the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards they were also nominated for Best Group and won Best New Artist. In 2007 they were also nominated for Ultimate Urban at the MTV European Music Awards.
Brooks expects the show to go smoothly and said, “I have an awesome team to back me up so I have a good feeling about this.”
Brooks said she is in the works of planning up to two more large concerts for the 2009 to 2010 school year but has yet to confirm any artists.
