News hounds: The Boston University News, once the official newspaper of the College of Business Administration (now SMG) and later of the University, started the presses rolling in 1916 when CBA began a department of journalism under Harry "Pop" Center of the Boston Post. The paper was written and edited by CBA and College of Liberal Arts students and tackled a number of issues throughout decades of publication -- from BU's Student Army Training Corps students who left the school to fight in World War I and returned to resume their studies to the "Dutch clip" hairstyle for women in the early 1920s to a prediction, in October 1958, that lunar landings would be a possibility in the next generation.

By the early 1960s, the newspaper was considered one of the best weekly college newspapers in the country. It was published by the University and operated under the control of the Board of Student Publications and a faculty advisor who was responsible for ensuring the accuracy of news stories and that content did not violate libel laws or prevailing attitudes of good taste.
