Owen Meany has decided to pick up a new path in writing articles in his school's newpaper, The Grave. His articles are filled with satire and scorn towards things like "MYSTERY MEAT" for lunch and rules demanded for dates on the nights the school has dances. The students at Gravesend Academy felt as if Owen's voice was everyone's voice. Not everyone was very enthusiastic about Owen's new choice to have control, though. Gravesend Academy's new headmaster, Randy White, was given a subscription of The Grave and to Owen's surprise, Mr. White denied the acceptance of being a "private audience" with the Voice. Mr. White instead found it "more important" to have plenty of time to talk to the department heads. Owen did not take this disgrace very well and decided to write an article mainly on how Gravesend needed a new headmaster with a strong educational background, then called Mr.White's background simply MEAT and no substance. He did eventually get caught by Mr.White and almost expelled without the help of Dan who defended Owen during one of the department conferences.
