Aug. 30 News Article (Schools show new students the ropes)

(note all the following entries are for my newswriting portfolio. Yeah, I got a late start. *shrugs* no ones fault but my own.)

Seton Hill University in Greensburg uses reading material as a way for freshmen to get together at the beginning of the year. The university gives a free book to every student and have a discussion on it early in the first semester.

"It's a good bonding experience, and a great introduction to the sort of literate college life we hope to foster at Seton Hill," said Dr. Michael Arnzen, an English instructor at Seton Hill.

The books are distributed to the students during orientation sessions.

I found this interesting, if not a little misleading. I thought that the books were only handed out during the summer orientation, because I never received a book to read for my orientation in January. To me, I have to ask, did Mr. Mastroianni get all of his information? Or did he simply take what Dr. A (who is by no means an idiot) said and then added his own information?

This helped me identify one of my own main problems--get all of the sources that I can.
