I chose the Deepening Roots feature that is about the new Rosen Ag Center. Personally, I would consider this news. The Rosen Ag Center constructed in 2021 and recently finished up so I believe that not too much people knew a lot about it. The feature offers background information and facts about the Greenhouse that people otherwise may not have known about it. Potential audiences for this information is college students for the most part. The main people who will be on the Morningside website are people who are associated with Morningside somehow whether that is a student or faculty/staff. I think another audience could be anyone who is interested in agriculture. The program that helped set up the Greenhouse has been around for 7 years and this is the newest accomplishment for them, so outside of the classroom if you’re interested in agriculture I think the audience could be you as well. The purpose of the story is to inform the reader of the Ag Center, provide background and a better understanding of what the center is and what it offers. By reading this the reader will gain a further understanding of the Ag Center, how it came about, and what it features. Morningside could potentially gain new agriculture majors or students who want to come to Morningside for agriculture if a potential student were to read about it and be interested in it because of all that the major offers.

            Pastor Nelson grew up in Red Wing, Minnesota with a population of about 15,000 people and some big cities not too far from him. “I grew up with a faithful family which was always a part of who I was & I sometimes would lead worship from a young age,” Nelson explained when asked about if he’s always wanted to be a chaplain. He then followed up saying that in his high school and college days he went back & forth when telling himself that being a chaplain is the career path he wanted to go down. We asked Nelson what steered his decisions when it came to not wanting to be a chaplain and he responded “A lot of it was just ways that ministry tended to look at the time. For me this was also the time that 9/11 was happening, so there was a lot going on, so I started to question how I was going to live out having faith and trying to spread it to others. Honestly, I still have some of those questions today, but I think I’ve found the answers for the time being.” Andy is a man who believes that faith is one of the most important things for him to have in his like as he explained to us that he believes its shaped his views on the world and plays a huge role in the person that he’s become today. “Something where I can see what I’ve added to the world,” is how pastor Nelson answered to question of what career path he would go down if he had not been a pastor. He feels that at times being a pastor doesn’t come with immediate results when it comes to seeing that what you’re doing for people is making a difference but it’s rather like planting some sort of seed and not being able to see result for weeks, months, maybe years. Taking advantage of time to step away from ministry and experiencing more is something Nelson would have liked to have done before becoming a pastor. Being able to take a break and branch would have been more ideal for Nelson as he jumped right in to being a pastor post-college. “Dietrich Bonheoffer probably had one of the biggest influences on me as an author coming up. He was a pastor and a pacifist who was a part of a resistance group to the rise of Nazism is America. I really like his theology of caring. There are plenty others I followed as well, like Lois McMaster Bujold.” Pastor Nelson loves what he does but still hopes to branch out and get a new experience with his career field one day. 

‘At 91, Jack Ramblin’ Jack Elliott Wants to Tell You a Story’

When it comes to this article I feel like the lead could have been better because the story behind Elliott is pretty interesting but the lead doesn’t spark enough interest. When it comes to news values I would say Impact is a major one that it touches. Elliott has such a great impact in the areas he excelled in that there is still a push for him to be remembered and glorified for in the New York Times today. I will say that the article still isn’t very capturing although it’s telling readers about big parts of Elliott’s life and some accomplishments of his. The quotes are not directly from the source (Elliott) but from secondary sources so they aren’t completely dismissible, but it would have been nice to have some quotes from him. Although none of the quotes came directly from the source I would say that the writer talked to the right sources as most of them were from people who actually were mentioning a time they remembered having with him and opposed to just onlookers or opinion based quotes.

Shane, sophomore at Morningside University, has exceptional academic achievements and big plans post college.

“I have ever only had 1 C grade which was the lowest grade I’ve ever gotten and came last year,” Shane exclaimed when asked about his greatest academic achievement. Ranking 36 out of a graduating high school class of 680, Shane is no stranger to academic success. Omaha South well prepared him for the college life and he is ready to tackle everything that comes with it. When asked about his decision to come to college Shane answered “I want to be able to implement what I learn in Business Administration in the future.”

Shane is a Business Administration & Marketing double major here at Morningside. Shane plans to take his degrees to the next level post-graduation when it comes to business and marketing. “I want to be my own boss and be able to run my own businesses,” Shane said when asked about what he plans to do with his college degree. Real estate & investing in vending machines are the first thoughts on his mind as Shane just wants to have some form of “passive money coming in,” he says. Shane is very hard working and he is a determined student, he has a very bright future ahead.

President of Backwater State University enforces new course requirements for students due to low enrollment rates following previous school years.

“We feel that these new course requirements will allow us to turn out better-educated persons,” explained President David French. Heading into the upcoming school year students of Backwater State University are required to have one of each of the following courses on their schedules: math, science, and foreign language. This is due to enrollment percentages of as low as 15-20% following the previous school years. Taking these courses is now a graduation requirement.
