Student Publications Phoenix The Phoenix Literary Arts Magazine celebrated its 25th anniversary of publication during the 1983-84 academic year. The 12 staff members of the quarterly magazine brought about dramatic changes in format and design in an attempt to raise the quality of the publication. We added full-color, raised our circulation, expanded student staff positions and generally tried to raise the overall quality of the magazine. But more than anything else, we tried to reflect a creative, changing campus through the pages of the Phoenix, said editor Reed Massengill, a senior in journalism. Lee Gerald Volunteer Though not many are aware of it, The Volunteer is the official yearbook of the University. While it has been argued that yearbooks are a thing of the past, Volunteer editor Rick Spears says, A yearbook is the most tangible evidence someone will have in ten or twenty years that he or she actually attended college. 50 really, yearbooks are a thing of the past. That's what they're supposed to be. The Volunteer seeks to capture the year in capsule form, and give it back to the students, all for just $20. Spears says some suggested uses for the Volunteer iand this list is by no means exhaustivei are: doorstop, emergency ironing board, roach swatter, table leveler, hors d'oeuvre tray, and as a sign of high cultural taste.
