"If we couldn't advertise off-campus, we couldn't have a paper," said Daily Nebraskan Editor Paula M. Lavigne, who started the petition drive.
The petition was circulated via University Wire, a three-year-old service that daily distributes the best stories of 130 college newspapers on the Internet.
Forty-five college newspapers have signed a petition condemning a legal complaint brought by a professional newspaper against a college paper.
The petition calls the Ames Daily Tribune of Iowa "ethically reprehensible" and "a threat against all student newspapers in this country" for attempting to limit the advertising of the Iowa State Daily.
"That the Tribune is using the sunshine law to get into the records of [the Daily's] paper struck me as a dangerous precedent," Madden said, adding that he brought the case to an editorial board vote before he signed onto the petition.
