\"AustinClarksville, TN<\/strong> – On November 26th, 1930, a small, four-page newspaper appeared on the Austin Peay Normal School campus. The All State, as it was known, arrived that fall to present all of the school\u2019s news and \u201cgossip,\u201d and by the spring of 1931, most students eagerly awaited its weekly publication.<\/p>\n

\"85th<\/a>

85th anniversary of the Austin Peay student newspaper The All State<\/p><\/div>\n

Eight decades later, the once small teaching college has transformed into a thriving state university, and amid all the changes, The All State continues to keep the campus community informed.<\/p>\n

This week, the newspaper\u2019s staff is commemorating the publication\u2019s 85th anniversary with a special edition, designed to resemble the paper students flipped through in the early 1930s.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe All State is the longest standing campus institution that I can find,\u201d Jake Lowary, coordinator of student publications at APSU, said. \u201cIt\u2019s older than Harned Hall, it\u2019s older than the Browning Building and it\u2019s older than any student organization. This has been the corner stone of Austin Peay\u2019s heritage, except for the institution\u2019s namesake, and the University has always been supportive of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

During its 85 year history, the newspaper has courted controversy, as when its endorsement of Michael Dukakis for president in 1988 drew several letters of criticism, while also serving the public good, such as rallying students in the 1960s to keep the state from renaming Austin Peay to North Tennessee State University. In the 1980s, The All State also championed the Student Government Association\u2019s legislation to keep Harned Hall from being demolished.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the staff comes in and they don\u2019t really understand the magnitude of the responsibility we have,\u201d Katelyn Clark, APSU student and The All State editor-in-chief, said. \u201cEspecially with this 85th anniversary, with us going back and looking at the changes and movements The All State has been a part of. We have so much influence and power here, and we must use it correctly. Our job is to document history. That gives us this sense of duty that we need to cover everything correctly and factually.\u201d<\/p>\n

Throughout the 2015-16 academic year, the newspaper\u2019s staff will continue to commemorate the publication\u2019s anniversary with the reprinting of old stories in current issues. The special 85th anniversary edition is now available on the APSU campus, and the newspaper is also available online at www.theallstate.org<\/a><\/p>\n
