History

Nomenclature

The ''Daily Bruin'' was preceded by the weekly ''Normal Outlook'' on the campus of UCLA's predecessor, the Los Angeles State

Normal School A normal school or normal college is an institution created to Teacher education, train teachers by educating them in the norms of pedagogy and curriculum. In the 19th century in the United States, instruction in normal schools was at the high s ...

, as UCLA was first known, the twice-weekly ''Cub Californian'' was first issued on Sept. 29, 1919. Its name was changed to the ''California Grizzly'' with the issue of March 21, 1924, and on Sept. 13, 1925 it began to publish five days a week. On October 22, 1926, the newspaper became known as the ''California Daily Bruin.'' During World War II it reduced its publication frequency to three times a week under the title ''California Bruin,'' reverting to a daily publication at war's end. On April 2, 1948, the name was changed to ''UCLA Daily Bruin.''

UCLA, or ASUCLA, although during the summer sessions of the 1920s and 1930s the newspapers were used as laboratory papers for university journalism classes. A student body president in 1931 advocated that the Bruin be made independent from control by the ASUC, as it was known then, so it might act as a check on student government. In the 1950s, the ''Summer Bruin'' was again taken over by the Administration, and '"controversial social issues" were banned from print during the summers.Al Greenstein, "Past DB-SEC Struggles Told," ''UCLA Daily Bruin,'' January 5, 1952, page 4 Until 1955, the Associated Students was considered the publisher of the ''Daily Bruin,'' sometimes directly under the student council and sometimes with the interposition of a Publications Board. Editors were named by the student council. This system resulted in frequent political struggles between the staff (which nominated candidates for the key editorial positions) and the student council. During the height of the

, with the newspaper staff being accused of Communist leanings, the university administration in 1955 revised the governance of the paper and instituted a system whereby the student body itself elected the editor (see below). "Editors had to run for elective office just like politicians, and the newspaper was closely controlled by the tudentCouncil," wrote William C. Ackerman, the ASUCLA graduate administrator. The practice of student election of editors ended in 1963 with the establishment of the ASUCLA Communications Board, a student-led organization that selects the editors of the ''Bruin'' as well as the editors for the other seven newsmagazines and UCLA Radio.

The 1920s

In 1926, editor John F. Cohee was expelled from school by

Ernest Carroll Moore Ernest Carroll Moore (1871–1955) was an Americans, American educator. He co-founded the University of California, Southern Branch, in Los Angeles, California. Biography Early life Moore was born in 1871 in Youngstown, Ohio. He graduated from O ...

"report" that some sorority women had been seen cavorting nude in the Pacific Ocean surf. This article was included in a twice-yearly burlesque edition of the ''Daily Bruin'' known as "Hell's Bells." (Cohee transferred to the Berkeley campus and graduated there in 1927. He later went on to become a professional reporter.) Three years later, Director Moore suspended 14 students for publishing the January 23, 1929, issue of "Hell's Bells," "the filthiest and most indecent piece of printed matter that any of us has ever seen." Some of those students were later reinstated. That was the last issue of "Hell's Bells."

The 1930s

* 1935. The student council named Gilbert Harrison as editor. Harrison was soon at loggerheads with Tom Lambert, the ASUC president, who wanted more coverage of the student government. Frustrated, Lambert resigned, and the council named a committee to publish the paper when the staff threatened to strike. Lambert returned to his job. * 1938. The council named a salaried director of publications who would be responsible for all content, but in October a newly chosen council decided that the appointee would have no editorial control. * 1939. The student leaders adopted a resolution requiring the ''Bruin'' to deny publicity to "all unrecognized organizations." The editor called the action an "unwarranted restriction of press freedom," and four thousand students signed petitions opposing the restriction, which was repealed.

The 1940s

In October 1944 the student president charged that the ''Bruin'' was "unrepresentative and self-perpetuating" and that it was controlled by the liberal

. The staff threatened to strike but found that the president had already sketched out a plan for substitute staffers, so it refrained.

The 1950s

Charges of left-wing influence

In spring 1949 Jim Garst and

Clancy Sigal Clancy Sigal (September 6, 1926 – July 16, 2017) was an American writer, and the author of dozens of essays and seven books, the best-known of which is the autobiographical novel ''Going Away'' (1961). Early life and education Sigal was born ...

positions. Garst was chosen editor by the student council, but Sigal (who had been asked by a member of the council whether he was "a Communist") was rejected. The staffers refused to work over the summer, and in the fall a new council approved Sigal. The same council, however, refused to reappoint him in the spring 1950 term. A student vote rejected Sigal, 2,272 to 676.Al Greenstein, "DB, Pub Board, SEC Tiffs Told," ''UCLA Daily Bruin,'' January 6, 1953, page 3 In the spring semester 1951, President

I do hope that some way will be found to keep this young man from using the feature page of the Bruin as a medium for propaganda of the party line." On February 13, 1951, Dean Hahn replied in a memo to Dykstra that "we are still looking for an editor with more moderate leanings." The student council turned down the staff's nomination of Jerry Schlapik as editor for the spring 1951 term in favor of conservative Bob Strock, who was then deemed ineligible because of a low

. On February 7, 1951, the council appointed Martin Brower as editor but also chose Rex Rexrode, a non-staffer, as feature (opinion) editor. Brower immediately submitted his resignation, and the entire non-sports editorial staff resigned. Most of them returned to work in two weeks after the council agreed that, from then on, all top editors would be chosen from the newspaper's senior staff.Al Greenstein, "History of SEC, DB Debates Tells of Staff Walkout in 1951" and "Bruin Staff Walkout in 1951 Threatened Paper's Demise," January 7, 1953, pages 1 and 3

Student election of editors

On November 23, 1954, President

approved a new student-election plan for the newspaper. Dean of Students Milton E. Hahn sent a memorandum to UCLA Chancellor Raymond B. Allen on December 7. 1954. He wrote: Editor Martin McReynolds caught word of the plan and published an editorial on December 8, stating that "Someone, probably the Administration, has been planning this change for at least six weeks. The planning has all been kept secret from ''The Daily Bruin'' and the students at large." On the same day, Hahn submitted the plan to the Student Council. The plan required that: *Non-staff opinion pieces would be limited to 150 words in the letters column. *Controversial articles would be "matched" with an opposing opinion. *Editorial columns "shall be used by the editor-in-chief in any manner consonant with journalistic practice and the wishes of SLC tudent Legislative Councilsubject to the contribution that contributors be bona fide staff members or members of SLC." A total of 3,004 signatures, representing one-fifth of the student body, were collected for a petition to be sent to Sproul to retract the plan. The number of signatures was about a thousand more than the number of votes in the preceding student-body election. The ''Bruin'' staff nominated six candidates to become editors the following year, but all six were rejected by the selection committee appointed to decide on the new editors.

21st Century

In 2013, the ''Daily Bruin's'' publisher laid off most of its full-time employees, following more than a decade of consistently declining advertising revenues that reflected the national newspaper industry. Despite layoffs, it retained UCLA Student Media Director Doria Deen, editorial advisor Abigail Goldman and Business Manager Jeremy Wildman. In spring 2016, UCLA's student body voted in favor of the "''Daily Bruin'' and Bruinwalk.com Referendum," which guaranteed student fees to support the ''Bruin'' as its print advertising revenues continue to decline.

Stonewall

In 2013, the ''Daily Bruin'' created the "Stonewall" as an online record of sources who "stonewalled," or refused to speak, with reporters. The "Stonewall" was created in effort to maintain transparency with readers about individuals in the community who thwarted ''Daily Bruin'' reporters' attempts at providing information. The most recent stone added to the "Stonewall" was on June 5, 2019, when the UCLA media relations office for several weeks delayed an interview with administrators regarding a professor's conviction of child sexual abuse.
