HISTORY
Versus began as a weekly campus newspaper in 1968 as a conservative alternative to the then more liberal Hustler. In 1972 Versus turned from news to literature and arts, and then in 1973 became focused on countercultural issues.1 In the 1980s Versus changed to a traditional magazine format. In 2007, the publication began publishing in a broadsheet format and began being distributed weekly on the campus newspaper racks.

FREQUENCY
Versus is published on Wednesdays throughout the academic year.

STAFF
The Versus staff is comprised of approximately 10 students who make up the editorial board, including the Editor-in-Chief. Additionally, some 25 students work as reporters, editors, photographers, designers, advertising representatives and office assistants.

FACILITIES
The Versus office is located in Suite130B Sarratt Student Center.
