Tl-IE STEPI-lEIXI.S SUSAN LOVING HE Stephens Standard, campus magazine, offers each member of the student body an opportunity to see her original work in print. The Standard is composed of a variety of material includf ing poetry, fiction, feature articles, illustrations, photographs and editorials. Published live times a year, November, December, February, April and May, Standard portrays campus life so that both stuf dents here and readers all over the country can visualize a cross' section of life at Stephens. Prospective students receive copies in order that they may become better acquainted with Stephens. In order to obtain material representing a larger section of the student body, a contest open to all Stephens students was an' nounced in the December issue and awards were given for the best short story, poem, feature article and photograph. Quality especially was emphasized. All material published in the No' vember and December, 1949 issues was automatically eligible for the contest. The material was carefully evaluated by a qualified group of judges selected by the editorial board of the Standard. The names of the winners were placed on a plaque in the General Library. They were Gayl Auer, photographyg Suejette Cool' edge, short storyg Joyce Allen, feature, and Barbara Lane, poetry. This year Stephens students were urged to become contribuf tors as well as readers. The contest, plus an invitation in each issue for the students to submit their original material, produced a composite of the highest type of creative work available. The management and publication of the Standard were asso' ciated with the work in the advanced composition classes in the Communications Division. Pieces of creative writing handed to instructors by students were given to the Standard for criticism and many times were accepted for publication in the magazine. z 2 , . Q -l .

STANDARD Teamwork pays off Each contributing student not only may see her work pub' lished, but she is given an opportunity to receive constructive criticism and suggestions as to how to improve her work. This analysis of her own writings helps her to judge and evaluate those of others. These two, evaluation and improved copyfvvriting, are subsidiary purposes of Standard. A group of nine English composition students assisted the senior editors. They were Catherine Clapp, Monica Devine, Anne Greene, Nancy Heman, Jane Henderson, Eleanor Marsh, Joan Membery, Maria Walker and Elizabeth Wilson. The Standard was originally planned and sponsored in the Communications Division as an outlet for the composition classes. However, in recent years it has been expanded to a campusfvvide basis. The editorial board consisted of Susan Loving, editorfinf chiefg Betti Love, literary editor, and Rhea Ingle, business man' ager. In December Nancy Heman was elected to the newly' created post of visualization editor. Until this time Beverly Foes, feature editor, held the positions of both visualization and feature editor. Staff photographers were Kay Budlong, chief photographer and Eredrika Trippe, assistant photographer. The Standard was sponsored by the Communications Divif sion with the direct assistance of Ralph C. Leyden, Richard Korns, and Ward Ankrum.
