‘Golden
age’ not too golden
My first real
(paid) journalism job was as a staff photographer for The Skiff
in 1965 and 1966. I got money instead of credit because I was a
psychology major.
But there was another other important benefit. Back then, the Skiff
photographer was issued an “Official Car Parking Permit”
that allowed access to ANY parking space on campus, including the
holiest-of-holies, special, VIP-only lot located immediately behind
Sadler Hall.

In the days
when The Skiff wasnÕt quite daily yet and women couldnÕt wear pants
on campus, the 1965-1966 Skiff staff was out on campus covering
breaking news. The newspaper was published twice a week and was
riddled with campus events, issues and even special stories just
for female students. But even in the Vietnam War era, the TCU community
tackled issues that are familiar to the campus today including tuition
hikes, rising enrollment, parking problems and conflict about staff
wages.
