Cool Assignments at the Star-Tribune

Grad student Mary Hudetz is reporting this summer for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, where says she's received a string of "very cool assignments,'' including a profile of a young self-taught filmmaker from Tanzania who is working on his third Swahili-language film. She's also written about 22-year-old poet Bobby Wilson, who left South Dakota's Sisseton-Wahpeton reservation for the streets of Minneapolis -- and who's forearm tatoo reads "1492." This week Mary is working on a story about Minnestota's first rock 'n' roll camp for girls. She says she hopes to produce some longer pieces before her stay at the "Strib" is through.
