Che Gateway Coker students who are especially interested in literature have a chance to express themselves in Coker’s literary magazine, the Gateway. Each year, contributions are made to the magazine, and the best selections of essays, short stories, sketches, and poetry are chosen. Awards are offered for the best work in each division. The material submitted to the Gateway must be carefully read and re-read. Only a limited number of the articles contributed can be published, and the staff must choose these few selections carefully. The Gateway is comprised of only the best articles written by the student authors. When Editor Linda Gause and Assistant Editor Patricia Craw- ford have chosen the articles to be published, the layout must be planned. There are many conferences with Art Editor Patricia Fisher. The selections must be appropriately illustrated, and the illustrations must fit the layout. When the final layout is finished, typists go to work, hurrying to meet the deadlines. A cover must be chosen and then the proof-sheets corrected. Not until then is the staff's work complete. At last every student has her Gateway and indeed, it is proudly read by all. Perhaps these are our authors and poets of tomor- row—these that have taken up their pens and with devotion and self-expression have given us the Gateway to beauty.
