When you come to college, you often become a part of a very storied history. The same may be said of many of the organizations you join on the college campus as well. Our time here is just another chapter in a book that very well may last longer than we do. Knowing this, it is important for us to look back on those who once stood where we do now and appreciate what they’ve done. We should appreciate, and on appropriate occasion, mock them ceaselessly for what we now find quaint and naive, maybe even obsolete. As we are a campus newspaper, we are well equipped for this eventuality, with a vast archive of yellowed newspapers. Check out these clippings that go as far back as 1973.
