suggestion

You know what would be really, really cool? If Prout had a literary magazine. Students could submit articles about issues, academic and non-, about which they are passionate. And they could submit short stories, or poems. The artsy people could get involved too by submitting drawings and paintings and things to be included in the magazine, or as supplements to the writing. The Graphic Design classes could design the layout of the magazine. It would be the coolest thing ever because it would give the students - not just the student council - more of a voice in the school; they could speak out about what concerns them, and express themselves in writing. I mean, the theatre people are obviously represented at Prout. So are the artsy ones, in the art shows and such. But what about the writers? I know a lot of people at school who love to write and there would probably be a lot of submissions. And I know a lot of people at school who have a lot of opinions on a lot of things, but who never get listened to. [And it wouldn't be a place for whining, but for real, thought-out pieces about things, issues, and whatnot. In addition to being a creative outlet for the students.] It could come out each quarter, maybe, or each month, or every other month, or something! I would like to suggest this to someone with... authority... but to whom would one suggest such a thing, and how? I know it would cost money, and there would be, er, printing equipment involved [forgive me, i don't know anything about costs of things, or anything about printing equipment]. But it would be really, really great if such a thing existed.
