Santa Barbara: Student Publications

By the mid-1960's, student publications consisted of a newspaper, yearbook, and literary magazine, as well as a series of reference works. The latter included the Activities Calendar, a schedule of yearly events; Frosh Handbook, an informational pamphlet;Gaucho Guide, a handbook for new students; and the Student-Faculty Directory, which listed addresses and telephone numbers of students, faculty, and staff members. Publications were directed by a Publications Board composed of the editors of the various publications and the director of KCSB, the campus radio station.

El Gaucho
The first student newspaper on the Santa Barbara campus was a mimeographed sheet issued in 1921. For nine years the paper was called The Eagle, in honor of the college symbol at that time. In 1930, it became the Santa Barbara State College Roadrunner, named after the new college mascot. Since 1934, the name El Gaucho appeared on the masthead, except for a 16-issue interval in 1962 under the name of University Post. El Gaucho later appeared as a tabloid, three times a week.

La Cumbre:
A yearbook called Normal Life, 30 pages long, appeared in 1920. The next year, the book had grown to 128 pages. Since 1923, the yearbook was named La Cumbre, varying in format from six by nine inches to nine by 12 inches, and in number of pages from 44 to 352.

Spectrum
From its inception in February, 1957, the literary magazine published poetry, essays, and prose by campus writers. Three editions were published annually until 1964, when budgetary provisions allowed two issues each year.
