Publication Date: Sept. 30
Writer: Kie (kie_the_muse@hotmail.com)

The AMS has been spending a lot of money in revitalizing it's Art Gallery. They want publicity for it. What has been done to improve the Art Gallery? What are the benefits of the Art Gallery?

Get some good shots of the Art Gallery (confirm location with me) on campus and focus also on people's interaction with the gallery. So don't just give me shots with no people and emptiness! Get some people in there!!!

3 - { NEWS - UBC's FIRST PAPERLESS WORKPLACE - DONE }
Photographer: Jorge Amigo
Publication Date: Sept. 30
Writer: Marie Burgoyne (marie.burgoyne@yahoo.ca)

Despite working in the typically paper-heavy world of academic advising, the unit has weaned itself off paper, becoming UBC's first paperless workplace.
http://www.publicaffairs.ubc.ca/ubcreports/2008/08feb07/paperless.html

Pitch: Why has this office succeeded in breaking its paper habit, where others have failed? Is there potential for their program to be expanded across campus? Is their office the first of it's kind?

CO-ORDINATE WITH WRITER TO COME UP WITH IDEAS!!! PHOTO ILLUSTRATION or SIMPLE PHOTO or PORTRAIT OF SOMEONE WRITER INTERVIEWS.
