When we say ‘Independent student press,’ we mean it

(10/30/21 6:56pm)

Since 1931, when the first edition of the Daily Helmsman – then the Tiger Rag – was printed, student journalists at the University of Memphis placed an emphasis on independence from the university. The paper was written by students, for students and content would be dictated by a student editor. In no way, shape or form can the university influence what is or is not published.

Some of Our Best Reporting…

There have been hundreds, perhaps thousands, of excellent and award-winning stories that have been written by staff of the Tiger Rag/Helmsman since 1931 when the University of Memphis’s independent student newspaper began publishing. Here is a collection of some of the newspaper’s best over the years — stories that were so ground breaking that their impact was felt on campus and far beyond. We present these stories knowing full well that the minute this magazine comes off the press, we will remember other stories that should have been included on this list.

FBI Takeover? Tiger Rag reporter reflects on his most unusual memory at student paper

On May 4, 1966 – exactly four years before the infamous incident at Kent State University, when national guard members shot into a crowd of students protesting the Vietnam War, killing four students and injuring nine others – the University of Memphis saw its own altercation between anti-war protesters and pro-war students. Staff members of the anti-war newspaper Logos were confronted by students while distributing their publication and chased across campus by the crowd.

Commentary: If Tiger defensive issues continue, there will be no celebration – just continued pain

(10/28/21 9:00am)

The Memphis Tigers football team features one of the most potent offensive units in college football, averaging 32.2 points per contest. The mark is good for 39th out of 130 teams that suit up and play FBS football. Led by quarterback Seth Henigan, speedster receiver Calvin Austin III, and a litany of running backs, the offensive side of the ball seems to be taking care of business. Although that side could use some polishing up as well, mistakes are expected when a true freshman is at the helm.
