This collection contains digitized issues of student newspapers from the Indiana University South Bend Archives, spanning 1950 to 2018. Noteworthy titles include The Preface (1969-present; 1969-2018 issues digitized in this collection), the university's longest-running student newspaper, and IU Center News (1950-1962), the first newspaper published by IU students in South Bend. IU Center News was succeeded in the 1960s by student newspapers bearing a variety of names: Cross-Currents (1962-1964), The Spectrum (1964-1967), and South Bend Campus Student (1968-1969). The collection also includes issues of shorter-lived IU South Bend student publications Future (1968), Future Today (1971) and The IUSB Vision (2006-2008), as well as a handout for incoming freshmen, Appendix A (1978). Rounding out the collection are single issues of three publications that were not exclusively published by IU South Bend students but that featured the contributions of students, faculty, and alumni: The Communicator (1977), Mayday (1980), and Michiana Music Machine (1979, which features a reprint of a student publication not held by the IU South Bend Archives in its original form, The River City Review).
Print copies of all digitized publications are available in the Student Newspapers collection, 1950-2018 (archives.iu.edu/catalog/VAE2090). Other digitized student publications have been made available: find yearbooks in the Archives of Institutional Memory (institutionalmemory.iu.edu/aim/handle/10333/12443) and student journals on ScholarWorks Journals (scholarworks.iu.edu/journals/). The IU South Bend Archives welcomes donations of missing issues and/or questions about the collection; contact archiusb@iu.edu.
