Inkling ,the new photographic-literary magazine, is on sale
The magazine contains fiction, poetry, photography, and art
work. No such type of publication has ever been produced before
on campus.
Inkling is the current effort of students to establish a literary
publidation for the College. Only one of its three predecessors, the
Old Main Bell, was successful.
The New Portfolio and Critique
existed for only a year.
Contributions
Inkling was chartered by All-
College Cabinet, which assisted
with funds to be applied to the
debt of its defunct predecessor,
Critique. Student organizations
and other donors -have contri
buted to its financial backing.
It is the first student .publica
tion to make use of the offset
lithography process. This process
allows almost unlimited use of
line drawings and gives greater
and more flexibility in the use
of photographs and in special
makeup
The success of the first issue
will depend on student ..and fac-

Charges
Galati charged that:
1. Stanley Zimmerman, West
Dorm Council secretary, had told
him that he, Zimmerman, had
told Weston Tomlinson to repre
sent him at AIM elections. Galati
also said that Zimmerman had
told him that the Lion party
clique • (in the West Dorms) had
picked another alternate for him.
(Zimmerman denied in a let
ter to the Collegian that he had
given Tomlinson permission to sit
in for him at the AIM elections.
Tomlinson made the original
charges of political party influ
ence in the' elections. Under the
AIM constitution political influ
ence is outlawed.)
2. Howard Sprankle and Rich
ard Schoenberger, two alternates
at the meeting, are members of
the Lion party.
Party Ambers
3. Three West Dorm members
at-large—Ray Evert, Robert Hul
ing, and John Stoudt—are Lion
party members.
4. Four candidates for AIM of
fices—David Mutchler, Joseph
Haines, Stoudt; and Evert—are
prominent in the Lion party.
5. Schoenberger claims to have
gone to• the meeting as an alter
nate at the last moment. If this
is true, how did he make the
nominating speech for Evert?
Reached last night, Evert said
that he did not decide to run un
til the last minute and that he
passed his list of qualifications to
Schoenberger during the meet
ing.
6. Sprankle is Mutchler's room
mate.
- 7. Richard Kingensmith, West
Dorm Council treasurer, had been
approached to become part of the
bloc;•but refused.
Klingensmith last .night af
firmed that he had been ap
proached to. become part of the
bloc, but he said he turned it
down because he preferred to run
as an "independent."
He denied, however, that he
had been approached on a poli
tical party basis.
Approached
"I was approached, but not on
a political party basis. I am a
member of the State party, al
though I do not hold a clique
