Show Alison Badger, Editor Creative ability and imagination is the core of the Pen, the biannual literary magazine of the University of Utah. Its contents include fiction from both students and faculty, non-fiction that varies from an introduction to a new religion to a discussion of the "U's" part in polio research. The poetry staff selected both dramatic works and parodies of popular poets. The Pen staff spent afternoons in their office laying out the magazine and selecting the work of contributors. The magazine, whose existence and then contents- whether humorous or literary-were debated last year by the Student Senate, aims at publication of a wide variety of student talent. They used original art work, as well as writing from contributors. Alison Badger, editor of the Pen, gained recognition for her work as associate editor last year and for her poetry published in Utah Sings and college anthologies. Tom Broadbent served as associate editor and Shari Steele, Jean Mollinet, Anne McDonough as staff members. The Pen was financed by university activity book funds and by advertisements in the magazine. Manny Floor led an eager group of ad-getters as the business manager. Innovations in the magazine this year included a new 6 by 9 inch size instead of the 8/2 by 11 inch size used previously.
