COLUMN: Student government brings out best, worst of job
May 4, 2008
Favorite story written this semester: probably all the stuff about the trustee race in general.
Best interview I did: I couldn’t tell you. None of them particularly scream “awesome job” or anything.
The priceless quote that will hang on my wall: “I will be your gorilla.” – Frank Calabrese
The story I was most passionate about: writing about the first home football game without the Chief.
I wish this story … had art (the Fynanz.com story).

Moment that I hated my job: Every ISS meeting over three hours.
The story I would cover tomorrow: Why white people can’t dance: a documentary.
I would love to investigate this person’s life further: John Unrug.
If I could do one story over again: I wouldn’t.
What I’m looking forward to covering in the fall: the results of Calabrese’s run for the Illinois House of Representatives.
I work here because: I love to write.
The hardest story to write: every Illinois Student Senate meeting that talked about absolutely nothing important to the student body.
Why I chose my beat: I don’t have one right now, but I stayed with Illinois Student Senate to cover the elections.
