HISTORY
ACHIEVEMENT
In 1919, students at Grubbs Vocational College (now UTA) needed a name for their new literary/humor magazine. With a $2.50 prize from the dean as incentive, an ensuing contest yielded such poetic possibilities as KornKob, Swat News and Grubworm. In a 3-ballot election runoff, the student body chose The Shorthorn.
The fi rst issue – 6 by 9 inches, 48 pages with a bull in a bull’s-eye for a cover – appeared in April 1919.
The Shorthorn evolved into a newspaper in 1921 and has thrived in spite of changing times. On a campus noted for change, The Shorthorn has been a constant, growing into a daily publication in 1977. It remains one of UTA’s oldest traditions and most-respected sources of news.
The Shorthorn now resides in the UTA University Center’s lower level, in the site formerly occupied by the campus’ former bar. This customized offi ce doesn’t look like a bar; it looks like a newsroom, tastefully functional, state-of-the-art journalism professional.
