The Daily Free Press, also called the FreeP, the Crossword, the Wiffle Ball Field and Satan’s [expletive deleted]hole, was created in 1970 from incoming president John Silber’s rib and baptized by the water of the crisp, clean Charles River. As THE

independent student newspaper at Boston University, the FreeP contains a staff of mostly models and glamourati, who pride themselves on working long hours and receiving low grades.

The FreeP’s newsroom, created from Silber’s earwax, is the birthplace of at least 13 international diseases, nine of which are sexually transmitted. Its darkroom is also the birthplace of at least 38 illegitimate children.

Since its inception it has provided coverage of BU news, Boston news, BU sports and national arts and entertainment. It has also covered its rear on many occasions. Its newsroom also smells like a rear.

John Silber’s love of the FreeP has grown to immeasurable levels since its inception. One could say his love can be compared to that of a manure salesman and a horse’s ass. “It’s a remarkably mediocre student newspaper that manages to have a real nose for trivia,” Silber said years ago. “[Its] sports coverage is really quite good.”
