On Monday, Oct. 19, students celebrated Washburn
University’s 150th anniversary at the Homecoming Ball in the Memorial Union
Washburn rooms.
Students dressed up and danced the night away with their
fellow Ichabods. The night was filled with fun, music and food. Students also
had their photo taken by Kornerbooth Photography studio.
Outside the Washburn rooms, a top hat fundraising
competition took place. Student organizations were assigned a specific decade
and designed hand-made themed hats to match the time period. Students could
then cast their vote by donating change to the hat of their choice or pay $50
to buy the hat.
Halfway through the event, the 2015 Homecoming Court was
announced. The queen candidates are seniors Alexa Bowen, Emily Zimmerman and
Kaitlyn Truesdell, and juniors Madison Wiegers and Catherine Steuart.
The king candidates are seniors Forrest Evans, Daniel
Minton, Slater Champlin and Parker Gallion, and junior Ryan Kelly.
Students who want to cast their vote for Homecoming king and
queen must do so before Oct. 24. Voting can be done online at my.washburn.edu
or in the Memorial Union from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Homecoming king and queen
will be announced during halftime at the homecoming football game in Yager
Stadium on Friday, Oct. 24. To learn more about homecoming week, click here.
Good edit. A couple things I would change would be that homecoming doesn't have to be capitalized throughout your post.Also, in your fourth and fifth paragraphs, I would say "as well as juniors Madison Wiegers, Catherine Steuart and Ryan Kelly." Otherwise, good job !
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great edit! I like how you got straight to the point. I agree with Kelly about the edit. Overall though, looks good!
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great edit, too! You did a nice job at cleaning it up and like Bree said, getting straight to the point. I would add back Washburn A/B, because Washburn rooms could be anything. At least that is how I interpret it. Overall, great job!
ReplyDeleteThis is clear and easy to read. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI like the title change. You're definitely one of the top writers in the class, very well written!
ReplyDeleteGreat edit! Straight to the point and very informative.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if "homecoming" needs to be capitalized. Great edit!
ReplyDeleteGreat edit! The article is very reader friendly! Good job.
ReplyDeleteGood edit! I like your headline.
ReplyDeleteI think that is a good lead in the story. i like that there is links.
ReplyDeleteGood story. It would obviously be an online story unless you took out the links.
ReplyDeleteGood edits. I like how you changed the headline to sound a little more professional. Great job on including links as well.

ReplyDeleteI think the headline may be too long. I do like that you added links so that people can learn more about the upcoming events! Also, I think you should add back in what time the football game starts since we have a lower student participation.
ReplyDeleteWonderful edit, and I like how you have the hyperlinks embedded!
