From mustache bans to Fleetwood Mac, newly digitized newspapers shed light on Worcester State across generations.<\/span><\/h3>\n

By Natalie Boutiette ’25<\/p>\n

For a brief time in the 1960s, mustaches were banned at Worcester State. In 1970, a little-known band called Fleetwood Mac performed in Sullivan Auditorium.   <\/p>\n

Both of these details are gleaned from the new digitization of Worcester State\u2019s student-led newspapers. As the university marks its 150th anniversary this year, this newspaper archive is available to all at libguides.worcester.edu\/archives\/newspapers. Led by university archivist Ross Griffiths, the digitization project was made possible by Worcester State\u2019s membership in Digital Commonwealth, a nonprofit managed by the Boston Public Library. <\/p>\n

Newspapers exist to inform audiences, and, in the process, they create community and a collective memory. They also preserve history. Founded in 1874 as a commuter school, Worcester State at first struggled to foster a sense of community, Griffiths said. Starting in 1942, the first student-led newspaper, The Acorn<\/i>, became a resource for students to learn about upcoming club and organization happenings. The Acorn<\/i>, in other words, helped campus life emerge at Worcester State. <\/p>\n

The Acorn<\/i> and its successor publications also offered professional experience and bonding opportunities as student journalists raced to meet deadlines in the newsroom. \u201cIt was as serious a newspaper as the Telegram & Gazette<\/i>, with students tracking down sources and meeting tight deadlines,\u201d Griffiths said.  <\/p>\n

Today, the papers offer a retrospective look at student life. For example, the mustaches: They were banned because the administration was worried about Worcester State being associated with hippies. And the Fleetwood Mac performance? The paper reported that the 1970 Winter Carnival would feature Fleetwood Mac, Butterfield Blues Band, and Mountain, noting that \u201cButterfield is the better known of the three groups.\u201d It\u2019s an interesting reflection for today\u2019s reader: Fleetwood Mac became one of the most popular bands of the 1970s.<\/p>\n

Browsing the digital archive, today\u2019s reader also learns about policy and cultural changes in higher education. Between 1967 and 1970, students protested for more independence on campuses nationwide. They wanted to be treated as adults. That\u2019s reflected in The Acorn<\/i>\u2019s 1967 name change to The Student Voice<\/i>. \u201cThe newspaper became adversarial with the administration,\u201d said Griffiths. \u201cStudents fought to make campus more democratic.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Student Voice<\/i> had a long and successful run\u2014through the 2012-13 academic year, when it published its last edition. A year earlier, student journalism at Worcester State had joined the digital age with the online news and literary magazine the New Worcester Spy<\/i>. <\/p>\n

Published for more than a decade, the New Worcester Spy<\/i> became dormant at the end of the 2022-23 academic year. Its faculty advisor, Associate Professor of English Cleve Wiese, said, \u201cThere\u2019s always rising and falling engagement\u201d in student groups. But in this case, the digital paper reemerged soon after as the Wormtown Herald<\/i>, which is now thriving in its first year on campus.<\/p>\n

Reporters from the Wormtown Herald <\/i>took a recent field trip to meet Griffiths and explore the earlier student papers. \u201cIt was eye-opening to see the evolution of student-led publications over time,\u201d said Associate Professor of English Jamie Remillard, who, with Wiese, is faculty co-director of the Wormtown Herald<\/i>. Seeing the old papers informed the student journalists\u2019 understanding of how the Wormtown Herald<\/i> fits into the history of newspapers on campus. It also helped them understand how to create a publication that meets the needs of today\u2019s students.<\/p>\n

Today, the Wormtown Herald<\/i> publishes at wormtownherald.com and on social media. When asked about the reality of shortened attention spans among modern readers, Remillard replied, \u201cWe can\u2019t combat those challenges, but we can adapt to them. The fact we have student journalists on campus who are curious and care, and are willing to write journalism, is giving hope that students will feel compelled to read those stories despite short attention spans. Humans are social creatures who love narratives. That doesn\u2019t change if it is an Instagram post or a feature story.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Wormtown Herald <\/i>has provided editor in chief Dakota Gelinas \u201925 with a sense of community. \u201cI feel more involved as a commuter now, being a part of the paper, than I was as a resident,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

While it was not a conscious choice for the start of the Wormtown Herald<\/i> to coincide with Worcester State\u2019s 150th, it\u2019s an appropriate one. The Wormtown Herald<\/i> marks the \u201cbeginning of a really golden age of newspapers on campus,\u201d said Wiese. \u201cIt is the right time for a vibrant paper to take hold. There is a lot of energy on campus and people want to participate.\u201d  <\/p>\n

Natalie Boutiette, a student writer in the communications office, graduates this May with a business degree in marketing and a minor in writing.<\/i><\/p>\n
