Thirty Years Ago
Triton Times, May 10, 1974
MCELROY RESCINDS EDITOR FIRING—Chancellor McElroy Tuesday rescinded the
dismissal of David Buchbinder as Triton Times Editor-in-Chief. The editor’s
dismissal, recommended to McElroy by the UCSD Communications Board last month,
resulted from a furor over an April Fool’s issue of the paper. The newspaper
was subsequently found to have been “consistently insensitive” to
the interests of “people of color” at UCSD.

UCSD Guardian, May 17, 1984
THIRD

time in over 12 years, the students on that northern campus

Some of the other suggestions brought up by students and
faculty are Frederick Douglas, Dr. Charles Drew, King-Kennedy,
United, Third World, Gandhi, Eleanor Roosevelt and Tercer
Mundo.
