Week of 8 January 1999 Vol. II, No. 18 BU Yesterday The Boston University News was a student-run weekly that lasted into the early years of the Daily Free Press era. This photo of the News' Bay State Road cityroom dates from 1962, a particularly rich year in the paper's history. For one thing, Nina Totenberg was on the staff (today she's NPR's legal affairs correspondent). For another, the News was named Best College Newspaper in New England thanks to such stories as its exclusive interview with Mrs. James Meredith, wife of the first black student to enroll at the University of Mississippi. Referring to a telegram to Meredith signed by more than 1,200 members of the BU community, Mrs. Meredith told the News, "Tell all the people at BU I'll never forget this."
