The Beast Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Good work, Pratt. What are you trying to do with your degree? Do people actually do design work for the publication there? Is it weekly? Monthly? It's definitely one of the more tough fields to get into, especially if you haven't worked in an official j-school setting before.

Flash Tizzle Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ Jan 25, 2010 -> 08:02 PM) Have you ever heard of a 68,000$ toilet? I love how this Angela Prazza is concerned with the transgendered people on campus. Yes, let's be excited because a bathroom was built for a select group of people who don't feel comfortable in either a men's or women's bathroom. Also, anyone who goes to UIC knows UH is definitely not one of the most trafficked buildings on campus. Good article, Pratt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory Pratt Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Very proud of this story: Furloughs a matter of life or death on west campus For the university, furloughs are a way to save money while it waits for the state to pay its bills. For some of the poorest people in Chicago, however, furloughs are a matter of life or death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
