Show Reed Coray: Editor Editor Coray vacillated between stories of true confession, gleaned from nocturnal philanderings, and realistic, psychological studies lifted clumsily from Steinbeckian modernists. Filling the top position enabled him not only to print his own stories but also to dabble half-heartedly into the other aesthetic departments of the school in quest of artistic endeavors with which to astound his public. scribulus This is to commemorate the passing of an era. David R. Trevithick has bartered the opulence and sequestered security of the English office for the barren dinginess of penthouse politics . . . Absent is this most illustrious of graduates (Orion, '24; Sigma Delta Pi, '37, '38, '41) . . . Departed is this genius of grammatical gymnastics . . . Gone forth even into the temples of the money- changers is this disciple of the participle . . . Lured away is the personality that inspired one thousand piddling literary endeavors (Acorn, Scribulus, Signpost) . . . Transplanted is the taskmaster of terrorized underclassmen . . . Weep, Weber, Weep. Dave Trevithick: Sponsor Self-styled the magazine of contemporary arts and letters by some remote and optimistic predecessor of the present editor, Scribulus this year managed to acquire an increased allotment from those who spoon out the silver on the basis of improvements . . . Said improvements were or were not attained according to whether you interview a would-be contributor or one of the magazine's readers. Pink rejection slips, long hailed as necessary adjuncts of creations, did not burden the mails at Weber . . . Most difficult task of Coray's editorial career was finding spots on his one-man-mag for his ambitious but unused staff. Dan Bailey, Reed Coray, Walter Cable, David Trevithick.
