Paper Raises Vital Issues The Owl ' s Hoot showed itself to be one of the most successful newspa- pers in MUS history. More issues and a nnore professional approach key- noted the success of this publication. Taking sides in many controversial areas, Editor Ebby Lunn and the twelve man editorial board established a precedent of a more immediate and active school paper. With the aid of advisor Mr. Mike Deadrick, a positive force throughout the year, the paper became a model of good journalism. Making improve- ments where necessary from the year before, The Owl ' s Hoof was ranked as one of the best in MUS history. 56 Org anizations
