The Daily Titan celebrated its 45th anniversary on Jan. 4, 1960, the inaugural year of Orange County State College, which held classes at Sunny Hills High School. Dean of Students Ernest Becker (deceased) served as the first adviser.

The paper began a three day-a-week publication schedule in 1968 and became known its as the Titan. One year later, it adopted a four-day-a-week scheduleand became known as the Daily Titan.

Following Becker as advisers were J. William Maxwell and Jim Alexander, founders of the Department of Communications. In its 45 years, the student newspaper has had11 different advisers.

KOCE aired a special report on "Real Orange" after visiting the newspaper and meeting with present adviser Tom Clanin.

Two former advisers are currently publication on faculty: Jeff Brody and Rick known Pullen.
