LIONS HAVE WINGS In 1972 an editorial board con¬ sisting of English instructors Henry Harder, Joseph Lambert, Henry Morgan, Journalism instructor Eugene Murray, Art instructor Nathaniel Cole, and an editorial staff consisting of Steve Poore, Doyle Hall, and Gwen Garnett got together and formulated plans which led to the development of a creative arts magazine called THE WINGED LION. Joseph Lambert and Nathaniel Cole eventually became the magazine’s long term advisors. Nathaniel Cole is still the current art advisor and was responsible for the creation of THE WINGED LION logo appearing in many of the issues. Rosemary Curb assumed the literary advisorship in the Fall 1978 semester after Joseph Lambert’s resignation the previous semester. In the seven years the magazine has been in existence, it has gone through numerous literary and art editors, assistants, and readers. Likewise, it has consumed the poems, short stories, photographs, and art compositions of more than three hundred students. Moreover, THE WINGED LION welcomes contributions from any Missouri Southern State College student. Any genre of poetry, short story, essay, drama, novel, music, photography, or art will be accepted. Readers and assistants are also selected to aid in the judging of manuscripts and for practical ex¬ perience in layout and production procedures. After the WINGED LION receives the literary submissions, they are assigned a number. Then all pertinent information (author’s name, class level, and major) are recorded for future reference in the event they are selected for publica¬ tion. The editor, along with several readers, read and critically examine the manuscript four or five times, sometimes even more. The manuscript is graded on a scale from zero to five (zero being the lowest and five the highest). After this is done, they are then grouped according to grade (all the fives together, all the fours together, etc.). Then the editor makes the final selections. Usually the ones with the highest grades are accepted first. But not always. Depending on the number of submissions, a balance between the threes, fours, and fives is normally sought. Sometimes even a story or poem with a score of one or two is accepted first. All types and styles of poetry and short stories are accepted. Also, any length is accepted. The artwork is judged on composition, contrast between light and dark, media, and quality of production. Since 1972, The Winged Lion has sought to present the best efforts of the students in literature, art, layout, and design. In the years ahead, the magazine will continue to serve as an outlet for student creativity. —Charles Ross West 28

“
When a person displays his attempts at creativity to be scrutinized before the public eye, whether it be in art or literature, he is laying out a part of his inner self to be judged. And if someone were to honestly compliment a piece of work he has created, this compensates for a thousand false judgments. On the occasion when one sees a piece of himself on paper, one becomes especially vulnerable to criticism. Only when he finds himself in such a situation does he become sympathetic with others under similar cir¬ cumstances because of the emotion involved in having something so personal as inward feelings brought out before the reader. When, for example, I read one of my poems (or an artist views his creation) the full extent of my being somehow expressed in a few lines doesn’t become real until I read my name . . . strange how formal things appear in print! It is an extreme honor to be represented by such a medium as The Winged Lion. To know that it is highly probable that my work will never be published, I am es¬ pecially proud and gratified when a person compliments the work I’ve put a part of myself into. Perhaps this is the only glory many writers will experience: the pleasure of having people care enough not only to read or view their creations, but to comment upon them. —Janie Lindquist 29
