As soon as the Malibu campus opened in September 1972, students on the LA campus couldn't help but worry that the grass was greener on the other side of the Santa Monica Bay. They complained that food was better in Malibu, that Malibu had taken too many library books from LA, and that their tuition dollars were supporting operations in Malibu (they weren't).
One of the main outlets for these concerns was the new student newspaper on the LA campus, Inner View. Click through the timeline below for all the details.
