Huckleberries hears ... that North Idaho College journalism wannabe Al Williams has almost two weeks to turn in an assignment re: the men's and women's golf teams. As you may recall, the dynamic college athletic director ignored his last assignment -- what are students doing for recreation during the spring break -- b/c he didn't like it, no one had inventive answers, and the NCAAs were under way. Prior to that, my Berry Pickers say, Al had turned in his assignments for the first two spring editions of the paper, including a well-written piece on a former NIC basketballer who played for UIdaho this year. So, here's the deal: Al has to have his assignment turned into Sports Editor Josh Rasmussen on April 16 to make the April 23 edition. He still has a shot at an A in the one-unit class b/c he's already met the main criterion of turning in one story of 600 words. But, Huckleberries hears, Josh Rasmussen is holding his breath re: that April 16 deadline.
