For this special parent’s edition of The Exponent, let’s take a look back at two separate events in 1956 that showed mom and dad some love. The Student Union sponsored the Dad’s Day Dance in November, which was part of a weekend long pro- gram called, “Starring Dad.” Along with the program included events such as a Friday night dinner, where the fathers of the football team ate with their sons and were featured in the halftime program during a Saturday football game. In May, mothers around campus were celebrated in a Mother’s Day edition of The Exponent. Students planned a weekend of events to celebrate their mothers, such as the University Sing, the Galacade Watershow and the crowning of the May Queen. Purdue plans to celebrate parents this year on parents’ weekend from Oct. 22-24. THE EXPONENT PARENTS’ GUIDE, JULY 2021 PAGE 7 What to know about campus safety

THE EXPONENT PARENTS’ GUIDE, JULY 2021 PAGE 15 What is The Exponent? A brief description and history of The Printing for the first time on Dec. 15, 1889, The Exponent’s journey is a long and winding tale. The newspaper struggled through the first several years of its existence, as it profited only by operating revenues and was forced to rent space from the university. It went through a period of alternately making and losing money, though student staff members were all volunteers at the time. The Exponent existed as a Pur- due entity until 1968, when then- Editor-in-Chief Bill Smoot chal- lenged the university and the question of who controlled the pa- per became all the more impor- tant. A column was published on Oc- tober 23, 1968, which criticized then-president Frederick L. Hovde for allowing the CIA to recruit stu- dents for the Vietnam conflict, among other things. Hovde was angered by the column, so he re- moved Smoot as Editor-in-Chief. However, the 16 editors at the time refused to accept the deci- sion, instead printing “We Will Still Publish” across the front page of the next edition, and “Smoot Will Continue: Staff” across the next. The firing of the editor led to a decision by a faculty-student-ad- ministrator committee called the Exponent Review Board that the university didn’t follow due pro- cess, so Smoot was allowed to stay. The same committee later decided that The Exponent would be come an independent non- profit, headed by the Purdue Stu- dent Publishing Foundation, rath- er than the university itself. The Exponent used a window- less room in the basement of the Union hotel rent-free since 1933, but was re- quired to pay rent to the university until it bought its own building on 460 North- western Avenue in 1989. The Exponent sold that building in 2017 to University Lutheran Church, but still operates there today. In the same year, The Exponent switched to a twice-weekly printing schedule. The web edition (www.pur- dueexponent.org) was started in 1996. It was the first college newspaper in the country to build its own building and is one of two college newspapers in the country — along with the Harvard Crim- son — that owns and operates its own printing press. Today, the newspaper distributes 9,000 copies twice-weekly during the school year, and 6,000 during the summer. The summer staff consists of the sum- mer editor as well as 6 full time student reporters, advised by Virginia Black, an award winning reporter and editor from the South Bend Tribune. During the school year, The Exponent is operated by the editor-in-chief and nine to 10 other desk editors. It has almost 80 reporters covering everything from local news to athletics, photographers, graph- ic artists, composers and copy editors, and is one of the largest newsrooms in northern Indiana.
