For my next story idea I was thinking of investigating the new bricks on Alumni Way. Obviously they are names of alums, but it might be interesting to see why they were just now placed there, why some are on the hill next to the library, and are there more to be placed there. I also want to know how much they are, how and when alumni purchase them, where the money goes, and the maintenance of each brick, because the ones on the hill are in very poor condition and are barely legible. I want to know why they are doing it now, before homecoming, and why has it taken them so long to put those bricks in place. In case that story doesn't pan out though, my back-up idea is to do something on service opportunities at Witt. In particular, I was thinking how students work with Springfield Promise Neighborhood, and I think they have an event coming up unless it already happened, the Greek service day this Saturday, and also the CROP walk that takes place in the end of September. I think it is great that we have those opportunities to get involved in the community and I would like to learn more about it.

I think your first story sounds interesting. I noticed how there were people putting new bricks in maybe a week ago, but I never really noticed it last year.I thought are they only doing this, because the Alumni will probably be on campus to see their brick for Homecoming.
