IS story sources

OK, I'm starting a thread for you to request sources from each other. Here's how it works. If you are looking for a source, add a comment to this post stating specifically what you're looking for and including your e-mail address for other students to reply. (Note of warning: putting your e-mail address in a public blog means you open yourselves up to robot spam. Use your @wisc.edu addy and you'll have the power of their spam filters.)
You should all troll the comments regularly this week and make suggestions as you can.
Example: I am trying to find students to interview who have used Community Car. If you can connect me, e-mail at profme@wisc.edu.

I'm looking for students who use the Madison Metro bus system on a decently regular basis. If you know anyone who does, please have them e-mail me @ lwjanssen@wisc.edu

I believe you can make your e-mail like this:

derp AT wisc DOT edu

and robots will not find you

I am looking for transgender students who currently live or have lived in the public dorms.

I understand this is a private issue so I promise if you respond to me I will not share your name with anyone unless I have permission.

Thanks a lot!

Oddly enough, I am looking for the exact same people Jake is. (Jake, perhaps we should talk lol?)
If you are a transgender student who lives/has lived in the public dorms, I would like to speak to you. If you know someone who I would be able to speak to, if you could pass my information along as well that would be great.
Of course, all information will remain confidential unless you give me your permission to use it.

Thanks!

Hi!! I'm looking for students of all ages, genders and sexual orientations who use the word "hookup" to describe some kind of relationship between 2 people.

I am researching the evolution of the slang word on campus and want many opinions on how it's used today.

Anyone who's interested email me:

I have a question.. for my story I am interviewing staff members and students members of different student orgs. However, I also wanted to interview other students from the dorms or something to see their take in what I am writing about. Do any of you know if I would have to include the specific name of students that I am interviewing?if they are not the main part of my story, I just wanted to see their reactions about the issue I'm discussing.
I would appreciate if you let me know.
You can just reply to the blog or just e-mail me @ ejescobar@wisc.edu
Thanks!!

Hey guys! I'm looking for any Jewish students who attend JEM, Hillel, or both. I'm trying to figure out if there is a correlation between JEM's exploding membership and Hillel's lack of a real headquarters while the new building is being constructed.

email me at burkin@wisc.edu

Thanks!!

I'm looking for any student or anyone who listens to 91.7FM WSUM [our student radio], but is not affiliated with the station. Just a listener. If you know a listener, would you let me know?

Hey,
I'm looking for any student who has either great or terrible things to say about their roommates (now or in previous years). I'm interested in learning how freshmen choose their sophomore year roommates and if they end up happy with that choice. If you or someone you know can help me out, that would be SO GREAT!!
