CLEVELAND COLLEGE LIFE Cleifeland College Life, the student newspaper, seeks to cover in every edition the important events of the college week. It is the representative organ of faculty, class organizations, Student Council, social groups, and the general student body. Life is not just a bulletin board. Through cartoons, columns, and pictures it aims to entertain, through its features, to present personalities which are interesting, if not newsworthy, through polls, to gauge the opinions of students and faculty, through letters to the editor column, to answer criti- cism. On its editorial page, Life tries to bring to the attention of readers con- ditions which need correction. Moreover, Life is willing to promote any or- ganization or project which will reflect credit on the college. Finally, Life af- fords its staff members practical training in journalism. The Hrst issue of Life carries the dateline of December 17, 1928. Accord- ing to Dr. A. Caswell Ellis, then director of the College, the first issue began as an organ for recording our varied and active corporate life and giving ex- pression to our common hopes and ideals.

Barensfeld SKYLINE Since May, 1928, the date of its Hrst issue, Skyline, the college quarterly magazine, has had many contributors, among them former student Jo Sinclair, winner of the 1946 Harper Novel Award. In an early issue, William Lyon Phelps, of Yale University, Wrote to commend the success of the quarterly. Other contributors, not so well-known, are now writing short verses, essays, and articles which follow orthodox styles or experiment with original ideas. Not only a medium for publication, the magazine furthers the creative talents of its writers. Dr. Frederick H. Adler, instrumental in its founding, named the magazine and was faculty adviser for its first eleven years. Under present policy, Skyline is first accepting material of students, then of faculty members, and, when the manuscripts are especially meritorious, of outside contributors. The staff meets every Friday evening in the English office. Material is read by the editor to the staff and is then discussed and voted upon.
