University Of Washington Students Take Over Walla Walla Newspaper



In 1974, The Walla Walla Union-Bulletin allowed some journalism students to get "real life experience".  It  invited reporters at the University Of Washington campus newspaper, "The Daily" to vist Walla Walla and put out an edition of the UB. 
The results were maybe humorous to some, but many Walla Wallans were angered, not only by the political stance, but also felt that it had something of a mocking tone toward the town. 
Amongst the Daily group was John Snell, a Walla Walla native who would go on to work for newspapers in Seattle and Portland.
