The Park Stylus Volume 86, Number 16 %L. Parkville, Missouri Friday, January 30, 1981 The Park Stylus publishes all the news that’s fit to print The Stylus and the new journalism program grew together this year, estab¬ lishing many firsts. Editor Deborah Ground, a political sci¬ ence major, said she accepted her posi¬ tion hoping to bring new organization to the paper. She said this was accom¬ plished through regular meetings of a full editorial staff. A paper with a new look of maturity” was produced. The Stylus has become a workshop for Park ' s new print journalism program. Like all ' start-up ' years, it ' s had its ups and downs. It is important that the journalism program and the Stylus mesh—that they become more a part of each other,” said department chair¬ man Wallace Watson, in his first year as Stylus adviser. Ground said the paper has achieved her goals of improved content. She cited Life after Park” features and han¬ dling of controversies like the distur¬ bances in Dearing and the bookstore break-in as examples of quality report¬ ing. Looking back, I would not change the handling of any one of those issues,” said Ground. Ground said more writers would have helped the paper. Still,” she added, we never had to resort to commercial press releases just to fill up our pages.” This year the Stylus staff published 28 issues. A new record was estab¬ lished with production of an issue the first week of school after only three days of classes. Watson said, There have been some very good stories. Some have been dis¬ appointing, but we still have things to learn.” $TYLUS 27
