Quiz 1: Discussions

I like the idea of a news show that combines that aspects of Shepherd News, Local News and Student News. It can help reach out to people both on campus and in the community about current events that are happening in the area, on campus, and with other students. The first segment can be the Local News as it helps give exposure to the whole area. The second segment can be the Shepherd News portion where it talks about upcoming events on campus and gives students reminders of important events such as Finals schedules, advising and perhaps some tips on certain things on campus. The final segment of Student News can be a short segment where a different student organizations are able to go on and promote events they're doing or even help promote their fraternities or sororities. I also would like a quiz show idea that is similar to Jeopardy on terms of categories, with points substituting for dollars. There would be 5 categories with 5 questions each. The easiest question would be worth 2 points, then a slightly difficult question for 4, even more difficult for 6, another even more difficult question worth 8, and the hardest question would be worth 10 points. The 5 categories would be 5 different academic topics (ex:Mathematics, Chemistry, Sociology, Psychology, and History) and the way it would work is that each team would have to "win" categories by gaining the most points from that category and whoever wins 3 categories first would win the game. Here is a catch though that I like, while the teams are together, they are also competing against their own team mates to get points for themselves. Because the winning team gets prizes, but the person who scored the most points on the winning team would get the primary prize which can be something like a PS3 or something similar that would be considered a "high priority" prize for any player to win. The secondary scorer would get something that's below it, although I'm not very sure what that would be while the 3rd place player would get the smallest prize which can be a gift card or a DVD or something. A music show would be brilliant. I feel that the time constraint of 14:30 could be a little bothersome but I think there is enough time to do at least 3 songs and an interview with the performer afterward whether it be a local rock band, a classical music player, or perhaps even a beat poet (which I know is rare but they still exist). It can help give local musicians exposure in this area and help them promote their music. I know a band from my old High School who I know would love the opportunity.
