‘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.
