Mason History

Fear and Loathing in George Mason

This is a partial history of the student newspaper and campus life at George Mason University. From protests, political commentary, and unruley editors. Examining the transition from a straight and narrow student paper, to the anti-establishment opinion pieces, slightly sexually exploitative, and active student body from the mid-60's to today.

The goal is to examine whether both the student body and newspaper were plagued by "apathy" as it was once labeled. To see whether there was a voice that can be dug out of the archives and whether students challenged themselves when put under the pressure of the problems of the world.

From what once was to what it now is.
