As the University celebrates its 150th birthday, people all over campus are looking back at the long, storied traditions that make this University unique.One of those traditions we’re especially proud of is The Daily Reveille.This paper has been published for more than a century — we have copies from as far back as 1887. The paper first became a daily in 1897.The paper has gone through many different incarnations and titles through the years. During World War II, it was published semi-weekly while the Korean War forced the paper to cut its Friday edition. We’ve been printing five times weekly since 2002, striving to keep students in the know about important issues in the campus community.The Daily Reveille has a history of searching for news relevant to students, even at the risk of running afoul of dangerously powerful public figures. In 1934, seven Reveille reporters were expelled after they refused to withdraw letters and reporting that reflected badly on the politically omnipotent Huey Long. The case earned national attention, and the “Reveille Seven” remain a shining example of journalists refusing to bow to political power.The Daily Reveille is proud to continue that tradition of journalistic excellence today.  The paper won the prestigious Pacemaker Award by the Associated Collegiate Press in 2003  — the highest award a student paper can earn. Our Web site, lsureveille.com, won and Editor and Publisher’s Magazine award (or EPpy) in 2008 for best college paper Web site in the country. The paper continues to rank highly in competitions throughout the state and the region. The paper was awarded a slew of honors in the 2009 regional Mark of Excellence award by the Society of Professional Journalists, including Best Overall paper, Best Photo Illustration, Best Breaking News Reporting, Best General News Reporting, Best In-Depth Reporting and Best Sports Writing.As we look at the illustrious past of this publication, we are humbled and honored to work here. Like everyone at LSU, we take our heritage seriously, and expect from ourselves the same high standards to which our predecessors were held.As students look for answers to budget cuts and other controversies facing the University, we are working and will continue to work our best to fulfill our obligations to you.It’s a hard job sometimes, but one we take seriously — and it’s one we love to do. Here’s to the next 150 years.- – – -Contact the Editorial Board at [email protected]
