Read more alumni memories. Tim, the city editor, only had one reporter position left. It was down to two of us and we would do a try-out assignment. He gave me fans lining up overnight for Springsteen tickets. I rode my maroon Schwinn to what was then the Activity Center, did a few interviews, biked home about two miles off campus to write it and then biked back to campus around 9 p.m. with my story printed out the old, old, old fashioned way. In hard copy. On paper. It was all pretty exciting, plus I was wearing headphones and listening to Bruce, which is why I collided head on with another biker going the opposite way. We both flew onto University, but weren't hurt except for some scrapes and bruises. So, I wiped off about a zillion tiny, bleeding abrasions with the papers, walked my bike to the newsroom and handed in my copy. Everyone was so impressed that I was bleeding for the State Press job that I actually got the job on the spot. Four weeks later when the entertainment editor covered Hunter S. Thompson and ended up going away with him that night never to return to the newsroom, I got her job. The best job ever.

While surely many others will share memories of the parties on the roof of Matthews Center, happy hours at Ozzie Warehouse and the printer closet, my most enduring images were on the job, covering the games, writing the stories and assembling the pages with strips and wax in the pre-pagination days. The editors signed the pages off with a blue pen, and it was a little source of pride to put your stamp on that day's edition, as was walking on campus the following morning and seeing lots of people make heading to a State Press bin their first activity.
I celebrate the last print issue of our legendary State Press recounting the paper wars of 1985.
