Photographer: Gerald Deo / Goh Iromoto
Publication Date: Oct. 17
Writer: Marie-Helene Westgate (mhwestgate@gmail.com)

A study by a UBC professor concludes that an extensive light-rail system across Vancouver would be cheaper and more feasible than the proposed extension of the Millennium Line to UBC.

Either get a shot of the skytrain OR try to create a photo-illustration of a Streetcar and place it on Broadway.

This is huge, this story will break the news on who the new designer of the SUB will be. This decision will impact students one hundred years from now. Determine why they chose the firm, what made it stand out, what the details of the negotiations were and what the next steps will be.

CONTACT WRITER and see if you can get portraits of anyone (probably AMS Exec Tristan Markle), or if there are any future SUB model displays or locations you can shoot!

4 - { NEWS - VANCOUVER PUBLIC SCHOOL CRISIS
- DONE }
Photographer: VACANT
Publication Date: Oct. 17
Writer: Ian Turner (ianturner88@gmail.com)

In the last decade, the population boom at UBC has caused the public schools that serve UBC to become overcrowded, creating a crisis situation. The Faculty Association is not pleased with the consequences of the housing developments at UBC, which have increased the population of the area without making proper changes to ensure that there is enough space in the public schools for children to attend.

The following schools need to be shot from the outside. Pretty EASY!
Lord Byng: 3939 West 16th Avenue (take the 25 UBC - its on the left after ~13 mins)
St. George's: 4175 West 29th Avenue (take the 25 from UBC)
University Hill: 2896 Acadia Road

Religious people most generous...at least some of the time. UBC researchers have just published a major study in Science Magazine which shows that religious people are more helpful, honset, and generous - but only in the right situations.
