Story ideas for sale
The college had a retreat on Friday for faculty, staff and RAs, and it turned out to be a cornucopia of story ideas. I list some below.
- Profile Jay Peak. The president of the resort spoke at the retreat and mentioned some of the things in the pipeline, including a four-season water park. Skiing season is coming up; your readers would be interested in finding out what the area offers.
- Profile Burke Mountain. Speaking of ski season. This resort is closer; is it also better? How does it compare in cost, ski trails, terrain park area, etc.? Can you rent skis?
- Where to go cross-country skiing? Kingdom Trails and Craftsbury Outdoor Center spring to mind. What do they cost? How many miles of trails, etc.?
- Where to skate? Fenton Chester Arena has free-skate hours. Sometimes, CAB arranges for free skating there.
- Hunting. A lot of students from this area hunt. Find one and spend an hour in his/her tree stand.
- Commuter students. Do they feel left out at LSC? What does LSC do to make them feel welcome? What do other schools do for their commuters?
- Dorms 1. Which dorms produce the highest number of disciplinary cases?
- Dorms 2. Have any students remodeled their dorms to make them more livable? Take pictures.
- Fraternity. Would Kappa Delta Phi like to become an official fraternity at LSC? Why aren't there any frats or sororities? What would it take to change that? Do students want a Greek system here?
- President's Hill tow rope: Back in the old days, you could ski down President's Hill and ride back up on a very basic, engine-powered tow rope. Last year, some Mountain Rec seniors started a project aimed at building a new one. What's the status? Carol Moore says she'd welcome it.
- Education. Only 16 percent of the adults in the Northeast Kingdom have a college degree. Carol Moore would like to double that number. How could LSC do that, and what would happen if it did?
- Sports. Athletic teams at LSC get together once a week for dinner. They also study together. Does that improve team cohesiveness? Does it improve grades? What's the Student Athletic Advisory Committee?
- Ride share. Dozens of LSC students live in the Newport-Derby area. Do they drive down individually? Is there a bulletin board listing ride-share opportunities?
- Girl/guy ratio. Word is that the female-male ratio is especially skewed toward more males in this year's freshman class. Is that correct? Do females like it? Do guys hate it? Does the school worry about it?
- Spiritual place. Many schools, even state-supported ones, maintain a non-denominational chapel where students and faculty and staff can pray, meditate, or just sit and perhaps nap. Why not LSC? The school once had a Christian club (John Kaszenska was the adviser), but doesn't now. Does that mean LSC students aren't spiritual? Does LSC care? Does the SGA care?
