In the early 1990s, I served as editor of the Daily 49er, the student newspaper at Cal State Long Beach. So it's with more than a little Beach pride that I mention the publication's upcoming 60th anniversary.
The Journalism Department, the 49er staff and the CSULB Alumni Association are planning a reunion of former 49er staff members from noon to 1:30 p.m. Friday in the 49er newsroom, which is in the SSPA 004. A celebration will follow in the Pyramid Annex from 2 to 4 p.m. Both events are open to the general public.
In addition, the Daily 49er will publish a special edition Nov. 12 that includes past editors' reflections of each decade -- including one by me about the '90s -- and an interview with the paper's first editor, Ted Clucas.
For more information, contact either 49er Editor Joanne Tucker at eicd49er@gmail.com or 562-985-7998 or Journalism Department Chairman Raul Reis at rreis@csulb.edu or 562-985-4981.
Also, if you are a 49er alum and want more information, a bunch of us are on Facebook. Friend us and we'll give you the details.
