Description
Blockprint was a student newspaper published throughout the 1950s-60s. The May 26th issue is a special, humorous edition dated for 34 years in the future (Year 2000). It parodies the future with fake news like a new president named Lily-White (unlike the real Bush-Brown), the Commencement weekend speaker UNIVAC, an Environment Committee Report, a Computer Exhibition, and a new dormitory.
