This collection contains digitized issues of student newspapers from the Indiana University Kokomo Archives, including issues of The Mirror (1932-1934) from Kokomo Junior College which preceded the opening of the Kokomo extension center of Indiana University in 1945.
Print issues were donated and collected by various means, creating a collection that is representative but incomplete. Coverage from student newspapers published from 1945-1969 is sparse, with more consistent publication and coverage beginning in the 1970s. Students published the newspaper under many titles between 1948 and 2019, including Center Chatter (1948), Kokomo Center Review (1950-1951), Center Scope (1959-1960), Extender (1960-1965), Regionnaire (1966), Road Runner (1966-1970), Illegitimate (1969), Student Voice (1970-1977), Register (1978), Phoenix (1981-1991), and variations on The Correspondent (1991-present).
Dates have been transcribed as published on the original issues, apart from issues with handwritten date corrections or obvious misprints. Issues published with only a month and year have been dated as published on the first of that month.
Thank you to Samuel Garcia-Lopez and Britney Netherton, graduates of IU Kokomo, for their work facilitating the digitization of this collection, as well as the Indiana University Bicentennial Archives Development and Deployment Project (ADDP) and Digital Collections Services (DCS).
