How do you name a college newspaper?

Well, you come up with suggestions from the adviser and staff — such as the De Anza Dispatch, the Compass, Couranto, Scene, Record.

Or, you go the Spanish route: Periodico, Que Pasa, Recado, or our temporary name, Vistas (the scene).

Or, looking to the day when the old winery is remodeled into a bookstore and student hangout, you come up with De Anza Vintage Press or just plain Press (wine or newspaper, take your choice).

But better yet, you ask your readers, because this IS a student newspaper, after all. What is YOUR choice? What’s your suggestion for a name that will imply the dignity benefitting De Anza College, yet will appeal to other students?

Print your suggestion in the space below. Before Friday, drop it in he ballot boxes located in front of the journalism lab (L41, the building in which you registered).

Archived from Volume 1, Issue 1. “La Voz” won this contest and is the name the paper continues to use to this day.
