1. There’s no denying that student election season at the University of Oregon creates harassment and annoyance on the student’s side against the campaigners. However, I want to explore the other side–the campaign side of elections, those that are seen as the harassers. I want to write a story from the point of view of campaigners as they walk down 13th Avenue to promote their ASUO campaign.

2. Just outside the UO campus there are a number of food vendors that cater to hungry students who don’t have time to go home in between classes to eat lunch. I want to profile one of the well-known food vendors–the Hot Dog Lady, as she is known across campus–and write a story based on how she began at the UO campus and what motivates her passion as a food truck vendor.

3. Winter and spring term is the time when students begin looking for next year’s housing. Housing around campus is dominated by a small group of powerful rentals companies, such as PMC, Von Klein, and Bell Reality. These companies have the power to increase rent each year because competition is scarce. I want to look at if Eugene rental companies are taking advantage of students through their increased rental prices each year and their unwillingness to negotiate with students.
