Eye of the Beast

At the height of the counterculture in the early 1970s, the now-defunct Church of the Apocalypse published a short-lived alternative student newspaper to USF’s The Oracle. Named The Eye of the Beast, the newspaper kept students informed of local political and cultural events while tapping into the national student movement. Although the paper’s run was brief, it reveals a host of student concerns and interests unvarnished by university administrators.
