You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.231.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:15, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''''Daily Nexus''''' is a campus [[newspaper]] at the [[University of California, Santa Barbara]] (UCSB).

''Daily Nexus'' lineage can be traced to the [[Santa Barbara State College]] student newspaper, ''The Eagle'', of the 1930s. After the college became part of the UC system in 1944, ''The Eagle'' evolved under different names — ''The Roadrunner'', ''El Gaucho'', ''The University Post'' and ''The Daily Gaucho''. The modern ''Daily Nexus'' emerged from the activism and civil protests of the 1960s-1970s. The newspaper's editors changed the publication's name in 1970 to the ''Daily Nexus'' to "keep with the changing nature of the university" after protesters burned down the [[Bank of America]] building in [[Isla Vista]], a UCSB community neighboring the campus. The 1970-71 editorial board drew inspiration from a quote by [[Robert Maynard Hutchins]]: "A free press is the nexus of any democracy".

Since then, the ''Daily Nexus'' has covered campus-related and county-wide news, sports and arts. Students run the editorial side of the paper, independent of faculty or administration input or guidance. The editor in chief hires editorial staff and has the final word on what goes to print. Editors train and supervise staff writers and reporters. UCSB students work on the advertising and business side, as well.

The ''Daily Nexus'' office is situated in the Storke Communications Plaza, beneath [[Storke Tower]] and next to the offices of [[KCSB-FM]], the campus radio station. The Daily Nexus receives about two thirds of its funds from advertising revenue. The other one third is derived from a quarterly lock-in fee of $3.85 per student during the regular school year and $1.00 per student during the summer session. The lock-in fee is voted upon by students every two years.<ref>((cite web|title=Daily Nexus FAQ|date=21 March 2010|url=http://dailynexus.com/faq/|publisher=Daily Nexus))</ref>

== Publication history ==
The first iteration of the newspaper, '''''The Eagle''''', was founded by Everett Gamage for the 1921–22 Santa Barbara State Teachers' College school year.<ref name='eagle11'>((Cite news |date=September 28, 1923 |title=The Eagle |url=https://www.alexandria.ucsb.edu/downloads/8c97kq95r |newspaper=The Eagle |page=2 |volume=1 |edition=1 |access-date=October 3, 2018))</ref> It had a rocky start, highlighted by months of suspended publications, and faced a lack of funding and cooperation from the student body.<ref name='eagle11'/> The first year saw the paper use a [[mimeograph]] duplication process, which was changed in the second year for a printing process.<ref name='eagle11'/>

In 1986, while the paper was under the guidance of Editor-in-Chief William Diepenbrock, News Editor Steve Elzer broke the story that UCSB Chancellor [[Robert Huttenback]] was under investigation for misappropriating university funds. What initially had begun as an article on the sudden departure of a UCSB vice chancellor eventually ended in an exposé of Huttenback's financial activities. The ''Daily Nexus'' story drew other media coverage and intense university pressure for Huttenback to resign, which he did months later on July 11, 1986. Huttenback was convicted in 1988 for embezzling more than $170,000, primarily used for improvements to his home he claimed were for entertaining donors. A review of the incident by the UC President was declared moot and never officially released. The story was followed by newspapers throughout California, including the  ''[[Los Angeles Times]]''.

In 1996, while the paper was under the guidance of Editor-in-Chief Suzanne Garner, an investigation by campus editor Tim Molloy into the UC Regents' controversial vote to end [[Affirmative Action]] evolved into a lawsuit against California Governor [[Pete Wilson]] and the [[UC Regents]].  Represented by the ACLU, the ''Daily Nexus'' and Molloy alleged that the governor had initiated secret discussions among the Board to secure the outcome of the vote, in violation of the [[Bagley-Keene Act|Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act]]. The Nexus argued that its investigation was delayed because the governor had illegally denied requests for public information – but the suit finally was dismissed by the [[California Supreme Court]] for failure to file within the statute of limitations.  No court ever reviewed the merits. Newspapers across the country followed the story.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://law.justia.com/cases/california/supreme-court/4th/20/509.html|title = Regents of University of California v. Superior Court (1999)))</ref>

On April 5, 2001, Brendan Buhler (editor in chief 2002–2004) interviewed ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]'' author [[Douglas Adams]] in what turned out to be Adams' final interview before he died.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.dailynexus.com/2001-04-05/interview-douglas-adams/|title=Interview: Douglas Adams|publisher=www.dailynexus.com|date=5 April 2001|access-date=10 June 2011))</ref> After being published in the ''Nexus'', selections from Buhler's interview were published in Douglas' final book, ''[[The Salmon of Doubt]]''. The excerpts were noted as having come from the ''Daily Nexus''.

In 2002, ''Nexus'' staff writers Marisa Lagos and Jennifer B. Siverts provided daily coverage of the quadruple murder trial of [[David Attias]], who, as a UCSB freshman on February 23, 2001, sped a car through the streets of Isla Vista, killing four people. In July 2002, a Santa Barbara jury found Attias guilty of second-degree murder but legally insane at the time of the incident. The Attias case was also covered by newspapers such as ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' and the ''[[San Francisco Chronicle]]''. It also has been featured in multiple installments of the ''[[Dateline NBC]]'' news show.

The ''Daily Nexus'' publishes daily via its website; in 2014, it reduced its print edition to once a week.
