Understandable. I enjoyed reading it everyday when I was a student.

 

[YankeeVol]

They gonna change the name from Daily Beacon?

The crime log was my favorite. Made it a couple of times

I was part of a large, co-ordinated effort that stole every Daily Beacon on campus early one morning in about 1969 or 70. We had people following delivery drops to every building , including Safety and Security (Campus Police). As soon as the delivery was dropped, we picked them up and brought thousands of Daily Beacons to 4th Floor West at Reese Hall. We got caught a few hours after the great heist.

The Beacon was perfect bathroom reading.

There was a bathroom in the Geology building (I think they call it EPS now) on the 4th floor. The stall had a shelf and a old high arched window that looked out to Neyland and the river.

Perfect place for a midday deuce.

Oh well. Another nail in the coffin. What are all the journalism students going to do? I guess they're all writing blogs. Sigh . . .

Smoke weed and pretend to be smart

In a related story carburetors and typewriters were removed from the teaching plans in both the business and engineering schools.

I was a student and remember that well. Do you happen to remember when the wooden annex building on The Hill caught on fire and burned during finals and the Beacon reported several people perished only to discover that the bodies were cadavers from some anatomy class lol:

I remember working on that crossword every day right after reading the crime log. Not sure I would get the same enjoyment with an online version

Yes, it was behind G&G.

Crossword was easy until Friday when they used the NYT one.

We made sure to cut out every crime log we managed to get into. One time the RA's put up a sign threatening whoever was doing what we were doing, so we stole it.

It was the only good part of that paper.

 

[Tin Man]

The Daily Bacon we called it... Suddenly, I'm craving a BLT.

My favorite part also!

 

[RDU VOL#14]

My favorite part also!

"A suspicious figure was reported outside of Carrick dorm near the courtyard yesterday. UTPD investigated, but nothing happened."

Every single day.

 

[GreveHaller]

You're not a true VFL if you didn't make the crime log

 

[RDU VOL#14]

I made it once I think.
