Th e paper has never missed a production day since its debut on Sept. 21, 1934, making it the lon- gest-running college daily paper in the California State University system, said Mack Lundstrom, part- time adviser to the Spartan Daily. Paul Sakuma Associated Press photographer 1977 photojournalism graduate Sakuma worked for a year on the Spartan Daily in 1975, he said. It was also the year of the Patty Hearst story, he said. “Imagine being a student, and you’re covering interna- tional news,” he said. Newspaper heiress Hearst was kidnapped in Berkeley by the Symbionese Libera- tion Army in 1975, according to a CNN interview with Hearst. She later joined her cap- tors in a bank heist in Car- michael that left one dead, according to CNN. “It was a very exciting time in the news world,” he said. Jerry Nachman Former San Francisco Chronicle critic and columnist 1960 journalism graduate Nachman was a drama critic and a humor columnist at the Spartan Daily in 1959, at a time when it was rare for professional papers to have either, he said. “I was just making fun of college life, and satirizing Greeks and classes and the ritual of going to college,” he said. “Everyone can identify what you’re writing about.” He said he was hired straight from SJSU to the San Jose Mercury News to write about television. From there, he said he moved back and forth from New York and the Bay Area before settling at the San Francisco Chronicle for 14 years as a critic and columnist. But he said it all started in the Spartan Daily news- room. “It became my second home — my fi rst home really, because I spent more time there than in my room,” Nachman said. Jim Adams Retired Reuters reporter 1960 journalism graduate Adams was the news editor in Spring 1959 and became the top editor in the fall, he said, just in time for the Spartan Daily’s 25th an- niversary. Th at was also the year that popular movie star Ster- ling Hayden, embroiled in a bitter custody battle, took his four kids on a yacht to Tahiti against court orders, Adams said. Hayden hired an SJSU student to be the kids’ tutor, he said. Adams said he wanted to interview the student and made a last-ditch eff ort to reach her. “We mailed a lot of questions to Sterling Hayden, General Delivery, Tahiti, and she (the student) wrote back with answers,” he said. “It worked.” Monday, September 21, 2009 Spartan Daily []NEWS 3 advocate strongly for a reversal of University of Salzburg professor WHITMORE this trend.” From Page 1 Senior marketing major Kyle examines world views of America Bokarizm said everybody is frus- are designed to give more time for trated, and nobody knows what is By Samantha Rivera showed that only in the past year, administrators to decide which going on.
