Public Records Story

One of the biggest crimes committed every weekend on college campuses is the Minor in Possession (of alcohol).  Partying/going out is a big part of the college experience and it seems every weekend there are roughly 15-20 MIPs handed out according to the police log for the Pullman PD.  My idea for a story is to get the numbers from student affairs (which I'm currently in the process of doing) and get some names of students that have had MIPs in the past and get their side of the story.  I think this story would be a good idea because the roughly half of the potential readers are under 21 so they can know of the likelyhood of getting an MIP and the hardships that come with it.
