The University Times is the student-run newspaper of California State University, Los Angeles. First published in June 1948, it was known simply as "Los Angeles State College". By October of that year, the newspaper was officially named "College Times". Then, in 1972, the College Times became the University Times, in accordance with Cal State LA's change to university status. In 1965 the College Times was named the best newspaper by California Intercollegiate Press.
