As illustrative of this point, it is interesting to note that one of the finest contemporary works, T. S. Eliot's "Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," was published in the literary magazine at Harvard during Eliot's undergraduate days.The Pen, the University of Utah's quarterly literary magazine, follows this fine tradition of its fellow magazines. Within its covers, one will find stories, reviews, poetry, art work, and superior advertisements. All of which are submitted by students.Of course, some works will possess greater quality than others, but this is only to be expected and desired in a student publication. It has, nevertheless, been the policy of Editor Carl Burton to keep the quality as high as possible. This policy led to considerable controversy after the release of the winter edition. Letters flooded into the Chronicle complaining of the inclusion of so much material from the editors. Although this inclusion may not have given a representative view of student work, it needs to be pointed out that the editors were chosen from the most interested and proficient students in the writing classes. The editor later explained that he felt that the winter edition of The Pen included the best work submitted.Now, the students are awaiting the spring issue to find out if the controversy affected the overall quality of the magazine.Pen's editor, Carl Burton.THE HANDBOOKFOCUS, the University of Utah Student Handbook, was compiled as a reference book to acquaint the student with the University. It introduces the student to the widespread campus; presents the aims of the University; acquaints the student with the many facets of college life, the activities, the academic facilities, the faculty; gives information about the services available to the student on campus, and strives to stimulate and interest him in a well-rounded education.Mary Gardner, Handbook editor.268The staff of the Handbook (clockwise): Mary McEntire, Barbara Peterson, Peter Hein, Carol Nuyman, Nan Beesley, Clarence Udarbe, Rosemary Jensen, Gayle Cox. |
