Newspapers have gone the way of the DoDo bird, and so too have College Newspapers. There was a time when writing for the College Newspaper was an admirable thing to do — a stepping stone into a career in journalism. And maybe it still is.
College of Staten Island Student Newspaper
For two years in the early 1980’s I was the Editor in Chief of The College Voice — the College of Staten Island’s official school newspaper. Before that I was the sports editor, and before that wrote sports for the Student Voice — one of two newspapers (the other being the College Times) that formed to become The College Voice. I was the Sports Editor for the first issue of The College Voice — the grand union of the two papers — with Bernadette Cianflone and Janine Yoho as the co-editors in chief.
All the old issues of The College Voice exist here:

At some point, the College Voice newspaper went rogue from Student Government, and became an opposition paper that featured stories of Che Guevara on its cover. Why that would make it an opposition paper is a story that is lost to the current wind. We thought The College Voice would last into perpetuity.
In any case the College of Staten Island formed a new student paper — The Banner.
Today the Banner exists as a print publication and a website. The website is here:
Wagner College Student Newspaper
The Wagnerian has been Wagner College’s student newspaper continuously since 1934 — 90 years.
Here is a resource for all the old issues of The Wagnerian — including two issues that pre-date the 1934 beginning of continuous run of The Wagnerian — from 1918 and 1919.
