''The Daily Evergreen'' is the student newspaper for Washington State University. The 11,000-circulation newspaper is distributed weekdays throughout the academic year, and weekly in the summer. The ''Daily Evergreen'' is read by more than 83 percent of students, more than half the faculty, and also is distributed throughout Pullman and Moscow, Idaho. The paper is printed at the press of the ''Lewiston Morning Tribune''. ''The Evergreen'' calls itself "the student voice of Washington State University" and generally keeps topics of student interest as the highest priority. However, the ''Evergreen'' is unique among college newspapers in that its coverage includes the entire Pullman community and surrounding area. The only professional paper with reporters in the area is the ''Moscow-Pullman Daily News'', based in Moscow, Idaho. == History == Washington State University's ''Evergreen'' newspaper was first published in March 1895 as a 12-page broadsheet paper produced by seven editors. It cost 75 cents for an annual subscription or 10 cents per issue. ''The College Record'' was the original student paper of what was then called "Washington Agricultural College and School of Science". The first issue was published in February 1892, just a month after the school officially opened that January. According to accounts in the first ''Chinook'' annual and a book by college president E. A. Bryan, copies of the four-page issue were printed on cream-colored satin. Ten issues were produced, ending with April 1893, before the paper folded due to debts to the printer. By 1902, when editors asked readers to donate old issues for their new archives room, none of them had ever seen a copy of ''The College Record''. After two years without a campus paper, students called a meeting and established a new paper with student Will D. Todd as editor. The students left no written explanation as to why they named it ''The Evergreen''. The first issue came out in March 1895, and has published continually during the school year since then. Early issues consisted mostly of local news, essays and creative writing. News tidbits and jokes were also exchanged with other college papers of the West. Of this early period, Bryan wrote that the paper was "a clean, worthy sheet, breathing truly a college spirit of loyalty – full of news – full of many well-written articles – with some poetical contributions, most of them by a single student, now a distinguished alumnus." The Evergreen had its first female editor-in-chief, Dora Lobaugh, in the spring of 1899. The ''Chinook'' yearbook had this to say:
The ''Evergreen'' was a monthly paper until the fall of 1899, when it became a weekly published on Wednesdays. In 1920, the paper increased to two issues a week, and in 1923 it started printing triweekly. In October 1950, student managers pushed to add Tuesday issues, and the Evergreen started coming out four days a week, Tuesday through Friday to avoid higher printing costs for Monday issues. It began printing Monday through Friday in 1980. By order of the college president, the ''Evergreen'' became a committee of the Students' Assembly a year after it formed in 1901. In early years, it was common for editors to also be part of student government. Byron Hunter, editor in the fall of 1898, was also student body president at the time. The Greek system at the college grew dramatically in size and power during the early part of the century, and ''Evergreen'' editor-in-chief was a highly coveted campus position essentially controlled by the fraternities. Along with student body president, the editorship was negotiated among fraternity leaders along with other positions like yell king, class officers and Board of Control (student council) members. Each year different campus organizations such as the freshman class and Talamathian Society got to be in charge of an issue. Special editions came out for events like Christmas, graduation and the football game against the University of Idaho, a tradition continued today with special sections for Mom's Weekend, graduation and home football games, along with an "orientation guide" issue sent to incoming freshmen and transfer students each August. The first summer edition came out in 1900. During most of its history, the ''Evergreen'' has been published in a standard broadsheet size. An exception was World War II, when the Evergreen reduced its pages to a size similar to its current near-Berliner dimensions. It also published less frequently during the war, first biweekly and then weekly in order to use less paper. According to Maynard Hicks, a longtime ''Evergreen'' adviser and journalism instructor, 1951 was a year of turmoil for the ''Evergreen''. After a costly libel suit, the university took control from the student government and made the paper part of the journalism department, Hicks told an ''Evergreen'' reporter in 1995. ''Evergreen'' editors felt they had no control after the change, and the policy was changed again after a staff member tried to commit suicide. A new teletype machine allowed the ''Evergreen'' to start using Associated Press copy in 1952. A number of students did not like the change, because it meant less space for student groups to publish free notices about their meetings and activities. The ''Evergreen'' also got new facilities that year when the new Compton Union Building opened. The paper temporarily took up residence in the Old Education Building before another move in 1972 brought the paper to its current location in Murrow East, which had be renovated to house the communication school. Student Publications had been saving for seven years to purchase more than $50,000 in new typesetting equipment to allow a much broader range of type size and style. By 1995, when the ''Evergreen'' celebrated its centennial, all page layout was done on computers and sent to the press in Spokane. All photography was digital by 2002. The paper's first website launched on April 1, 1996. Story archives available online date back to 2001. In 2007, a major redesign included changed folios and flag. In 2008, the pages were slimmed and space between content limited. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Daily Evergreen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
