It took two years before UEA published its first official newspaper Mandate, in 1965.

The following year (1966) an additional publication was ‘served up’ in the form of Chips. The editor described this as ‘a delicate morsel to sustain readers between the more substantial dishes of Mandate.’

Concrete made its first brief appearance in 1973, an amalgamation of Chips and Twice. Shortly afterwards there was Once, (once known as Chips; once-a-fortnight, once and for all). The editor was quick to point out that Once was not a newspaper running in competition with Concrete but a news magazine.

Concrete was overtaken in 1975 by Phoenix and there were others like Breezeblock, Broadly Speaking and Insite. In 1992 it was back to Concrete which has remained set ever since.

List of the publications grouped by topic: (SU; Horsham Halls; Staff and institutional; Literary; Other). The primary titles are in bold.
