Here's Danielle Deeke's in-class writing assignment from Monday. It was one of the better stories posted this week. Like many of you, Danielle got the lead right--student falls down trash chute. And like many of you, she had some AP style errors. We'll talk about how to use the AP Stylebook next Monday. Here's Danielle's story:
An 18-year-old freshman student was reported injured after falling anywhere from two to ten stories down a trash chute of a Southern Illinois University Edwardsville dormitory. The student, Thomas Schwanke, was found early this morning, before 8:00 a.m., on the basement floor. However, police believe Schwanke fell around 2:00 a.m.
Witnesses say Shwanke had been drinking prior to the fall. Mary Rouse, Dean of Students at the university, said the incident again raises concern about alcohol abuse on campus.
Schwanke is being treated at Anderson Hospital in Maryville where hospital officials declined to discuss his condition, or the extent of his injuries.
