A group of local campus students are to be commended for their recent literary publication distributed on campus during this past week. It includes original poetry and prose written and submitted by the studegls. It is well worth the time taken to read it and well worth keeping to re-read. It far surpasses many of the magazines we have had access to during the recent years. It is worthy of even more recognition when it is taken into consideration that the magazine was not we by English or art majors but by a cross section of the student body including mass communication broadcasting, psychology, agriculture, pre- med, liberal arts, counseling and engineering students. Our compliments to Mike Bobella, Jonathan Edwards, David England, C. C. Gregory, Russell Gula, Ellen Hughes, John Patterson, Bernard Robinson, Richard Webster and Lewis Brice, for a publication well done.
