Internship Listings

Kerry Crumpis a sophomor studyingjournalism at theE.W. Scripps School.

What has been your most horrifyingjournalism experience so far?I was at men’s gymnastics at the Olym-pics and interviewing people at the eventwhen I told a guy that I was from ScrippsAfter the interview he told me that heactually worked there! I got really nervoubut I’m glad he told me after the inter-view because I wasn’t expecting a fellowScripps person to be in London.

What is the sweetest thing about journalism?I got to cover the president coming tocampus so that was cool. Basically, gettingto talk to people that I wouldn’t normallybe able to talk to if I didn’t have theseopportunities.

Who are 3 people you would bring bafrom the bed to interview?John Lennon. Heath Ledger. ElizabethTaylor

Who is the scariest person you have hto interview?The men’s USA basketball team. I almostcried. They are seven feet tall and argu-ably one of the best basketball teamsof all time and I don’t know a lot aboutbasketball so I didn’t want to embarrassmyself.

Favorite Halloween candy?FastBreak and Kit KatVampires or werewolves?Werewolves
