HAWK HERALD TO GOES THROUGH MORE EDITING

PAPER SCOOPS COMPETITOR ON STORY ABOUT SELF, DONATES STORY TO COMPETITOR

After many errors has been found by many students and staff, many changes are being made by many Hawk Hereld writers and editors.

"It's getting rediculous," said one senior. "I mean, last year, they spelled 'Republican' as 'Rebulican'."

However, a senior from last year's journalism class, doesn't, see a problem.

"Only the grammer freaks really care" he said. "I mean, it's not like we write like we talk."

I mean, staff and teachers are also noticing, problems by journalism students.

"If the Herald was an assignment, I'd give it a 'D-'," said, one english teacher.

Problems are even being noticed by Hall Monitors, one of who gave us this quote under condition of anonymity.

"capitalization mistakes, spelling-errors, incorrect word usage, horribly passive sentences, poor-hyphen usage, excessive commas... I'm just a hall monitor, but jeez, come on."

Journalism teachers are defending, there reporters, but agree that changes need to be made by them.

"We need to go through a better editing process," said the Journalism Teacher. "Passive sentences need to be cut down on. We need to use spell-check and make sure our quotation mark usage is correct.

Yeah, no names in fake quotes. Real quotes, though, are fine.
