Enginews

Enginews was a newsletter published by the Engineering Society. It was one of the first publications associated with the Waterloo College Associate Faculties and continued to publish until 1985.

Founding
The Engineering students of the Waterloo College Associate Faculties started their own newsletter in early 1959, shortly after the formation of the Engineering society. The newsletter was called Enginews and was published as a mimeographed sheet of foolscap. On October 23, 1959, Enginews had joined The Cord Weekly and was its own special section with its own masthead in the newspaper.

Post-split
After Waterloo College and the University of Waterloo failed to federate, Enginews and The Cord Weekly were forced to part ways. After the creation of The Coryphaeus, Enginews continued to publish as a sub-section with its own masthead.

Post-Coryphaeus
With the changing of The Coryphaeus into The Chevron, the student newspaper became steadily more radical. Engineers began to consider that the paper was not providing any benefit and as a result Enginews once again published as a stand-alone newspaper.

Demise
As the years went on, Enginews became more and more crude, and became infamous in the late 1970's for its racist and misogynistic quips. It was as a direct result of this devolution, that Engineering students began the serious student paper, The Iron Warrior, in 1980. Enginews finally stopped publishing in 1985.
