USU Van Tragedy
11 people traveling on a Utah State University agriculture field trip were in a rollover accident at approximately 4 pm yesterday. Robert Petersen, Jared Nelson, and one other unnamed passenger are the only survivors and all receiving medical treatment from Ogden hospitals. Highway Patrolman Lt. Jason Jensen suggested that excessive speed and mechanical problems were a probable cause for the accident. The van rolled several times and landed on all fours, throwing all bodies from the vehicle. The driver, Professor Evan Parker, age 45, Steven Bair, age 24, Brad Wilcox, and Kurt Madsen have all been pronounced dead.
University Official, Noel Cockett, the dean of the College of Business, said the University is just devastated about the accident. Cockett made the comment that Evan Parker had recently told him, “These students are the best I’ve ever seen. They are the cream of the crop.” All activities for Ag Week have been cancelled and a memorial will be held later this week.

Your article is good, however, make sure your facts are right. Noel Crockett is the dean of ag not business. She is also a woman.
I like the way you ended your article, it was well done. And as far as the first comment, I didnt even realize that noel crockett was a woman either. I guess it makes sense though. Anyway, help me on my article if you have time. Your article ewas written well.
