Feature Story Pitch

The recent problems with the Sokokis fire alarms

  • Interview people such as RAs, ACs, Security, and students to gather sources from multiple perspectives
  • Formulate main ideas on “what” is setting off the fire alarms
  • Gather information on all recent incidents this semester and possibly last also

In this semester alone, there have been four separate occasions, night and day, that the Sokokis fire alarms have gone off. In two of these situations, students have been woken in the middle of the night to evacuate the building, and then stand in freezing weather. The question Sokokis residents are therefore asking is, why? There is no other residence hall on campus that has had the number of issues Sokokis has had with their system. To find out more, I spoke with Liz Kelley, the Sokokis Area Coordinator about this issue. (INSERT INTERVIEW WHEN DONE).
