The North Texan turns 75 this fall, and as you can tell from the covers below, we've come a long way. Our first issue -- a four-page newspaper in November 1949 -- plugged a dance in the Harriss Gym and a football game with the Houston Cougars, which the Eagles won 28-23. The issue also reported a record enrollment of 5,262. (If you've lost count, we're now at nearly 47,000 students.) The North Texan's look may have changed down the corridor of years, but the mission remains the same: sharing with our UNT family the North Texas, North Texas we love.
