Show THE PEN AVERY important election look place on the campus of the University' of Utah last fall. The student body decided that the Pen and Humbug should again hold forth, replacing the Crimson, a combination of the two entirely different types of magazines. The University Pen is published by the Associated .Students of the University of Utah. Any writer having three articles accepted and printed in the Pen is eligible for membership on the editorial board. To stimulate interest in the school's literary productions, a prize contest was held for the best contribution to each issue. 1 he first issue appeared at the beginning of the Winter Quarter. The magazine realized all expectations, most of the work being worthy of special praise. The next issue came out in April. The interesting feature about this issue was the announcement of the winners of the Gleam-Scribbler Contest for the best short story, the best short one-act play, the best essay, the best metrical verse, and the best free verse. The first prize in the short story contest went to Wayne C. Grover for "Loo Mama." "Passing Out," by Ruth Cannon, was judged the best essay of the contest. In the metrical verse contest, "The Fault," by Shirley Rei Gud-mundson, took the award. "Steele," a one-act play by Joseph S. Kearns, won in that contest. No prize in free verse was given, due to lack of worthy material submitted. The contest was sponsored by the local student-body. A different group was chosen for each of the five different contests, to which any member of the student-body could contribute. The last issue appeared in May, a "Grad" number, in honor of those people who were reading its pages for the last time as regular college students. The Pen was ably edited during the past year by Wallace E. Stegner, editor; Frank Jensen, business manager; Marion L. Gowans, associate editor; Leone Rasmussen, associate editor; Jack Thomas, editorial assistant; Barney Rosenblum, editorial assistant; and Orville Taylor, staff artist.
