Raiding the archives

I went rooting through the Evergreen's archives today. Found some pretty interesting things in that dusty old room.

This is the first front page of fall semester, 1960. It's the first time we used the name Washington State UNIVERSITY.


Because y'know, it's WSU now guys ...

Apparently Cougs in 1985 weren't friends to the gays. Love the headline though, "This guys replaced that guy and ... oh, yeah! We still don't like homos."

We did run ads for Playboy in the '80s though. Ah, those were simpler times. Slouch socks, teased hair and a copy of playboy were all people needed. And now WITHOUT STAPLES!!!

You can rub it virtually anywhere.

I love this one. This is the front for the first Evergreen of the new millennium. Dig the headline that's like: "New Years Day has come and gone and everyone's computer is still working ... this Y2K thing is bullshit guys."

Of course when you're going through newspaper clippings you have to look up the front page for Sept. 12, 2001.

I just like this cartoon from the oughts. Oh, if only Ted Turner was only the WORST it could get ... Wonder what that cartoon would look like if it was redone now. I'm thinking it would include Rupert Murdoch and his penis would be dangerously close to Murrow's face.

God, the devolution of responsible media is depressing ... Give us back our cigarettes and good reporters!
