College Honored By Publications
“I’m published. I’m published.” ing poetic talent in the college class-
These were the thoughts of Faye
Lee Mackinnon last Friday as she
received two advance copies of “New
Campus Writing No. 4”, which con
tained one of her poems. The book
under the editorship of Nolan Miller
and Judson Jerome features “"1110
best recent fiction and poetry from
the Colleges and Universities of
America.”
Mrs. Mackinnon’s poem, entitled
“After Reading An Article On Suc
cess,” was written and submitted
three years ago. Besides her poem
four other works by graduates of
ACC were included in the volume.
'The students were: Sanford Peele,
John C. Vernon, Anne W. Nelson,
and Lewis Creech.
In their foreword Miller and Je
rome spoke of Dr. Hartsock: “Both
the variety and richness of develop-
room is best illustrated by the five
young poets from Atlantic Chris
tian College, Wilson, North Caro
lina. This crest of poetic creativity
may well be evident because the
sensitive and sympathetic teacher
has worked with them. She is Mil
dred E. Hartsock.
“For Miss Hartsock as well as
many other excellent teachers the
editors are greatly indebted. If New
Campus Writing is always a new
experience with each issue, the con
tinuing wave of serious students, of
teachers working so devotedly with
them, makes possible a future for
American Writing that will always
be abundant, varied, and exciting.”
The magazine is published at three
year intervals by the Grove Press
in New York.
