tiaH collegiate magazine, has an
nounced its 1959 student Writers’
Contest, which will consist of two
categories: (1) articles and short

ment secretary and editor of the
magazine. “They may be light or
serious, but should be slanted pri
marily toward student readers.”
Awards in the article and short
story category will begin at $50,
while the highest award for poet
ry and devotional entries will be
$25. The deadline is set at April,
1959. Judging will be based on ori

tent, depth and insight, organiza
tion and development of ideas, in
terest. and readability.
