Photography

4. Overall, how would you rate the photography in this issue? What were the strong points and weak points. 9/10! There were a lot of big, exciting, and colorful photos which I love.
Story Idea: I think a good story would be the effect of the new "incentives" and how the students and staff perceive them. Good interviews with diverse opinions and insight would be really interesting.
Person for Feature Story: For a profile feature story I suggest Kelley Israel, one of the leads in the "Tarzan" musical next week. She was the only freshman cast in the big production.
