Hi, im the editor in cheif my my small schools paper. My school is pretty small, having about only 400/500 students in the senior department. So stories about happenings and student achievements is usually pointless as everyone already knows. So the staff and i came up with what i thought was ALOT of original quirks for the newspaper. Please can you guys tell me what you think..

1. Guy vs Guy ( and gal vs gal ) where we put two students together and ask them a few funny questions to see who comes out with the most points.

2.Conspiracy Theory of the week - were one of our staff pick on something in the school and forms a conspiracy about its use.

3. Life's Random Unanswered Questions, random facts 'soup' , a weekly poll , a jokes column, an agony column , whats in fashion , movie and music reviews and/or charts, funny pictures , Student drawn jokes,

4. Now and then we do a survey on the what the students think of other students, ie: The Guy Survey, who tries the hardest, whos the most desireable etc etc,

5.Try making an e-lib, always fun, go to e-lib.com

6. Who has the hottest ride in the school.

We also thinking of creating a Pimp My Locker where we do just that!

Anyway hope someone actually uses some of these.

Cheers.
