Branding Iron (Laramie, Wyo.)
The Branding Iron is the University of Wyoming Student newspaper and has been published since 1923. Phil White served as editor in 1969.
In October 1969, 14 black University of Wyoming football players were dismissed from the team. The players wanted to wear black armbands to protest the alleged racial policies of the Church of Latter-Day Saints, which operates Brigham Young University. The day before the football game with Brigham Young, the players met with coach Lloyd Eaton regarding the armbands and Eaton dismissed them from the team for violating team rules regarding political activities.
