By SHIRLEY ROSICK The Gargoyle, campus humorl mag, will soon be publishing, but summer students were forced to exist for four months without it. Lucky kids! But wait a minute, that doesn't sound at all civil, and I had hoped to diverge from the entrenched Daily modus operandi of passing all. Must be a few bones that can be thrown to the Garg staff. The magazine does sell well, at the few and irregular intervals when its editors manage to slap something together, and lately it has been including more and more locally-inspired material instead of relying on funnies lifted from other college's publications or re- hashes of past Garg articles. Enough pats on the back. The Garg can fight back for itself- try to at least-and does partici- pate in a traditional reciprocal mud-slinging contest, retaliating against Daily criticism with hard- ly poisonous barbs. attention in recent issues of Gar- goyle. Reprints of old Daily ar- ticles have been accompanied by unfunny and irrelevant remarks. The Garg has also used a Daily reject written by that unpromising critic and satirist but promising sot J. W. Schutze, recently re- stored his 2-S deferment after being pandered as Draft Director Hershey's mistress. But even these plays and the constant, anemic references to our rag as a garbage wrapper are hopeful indications that Gargoyle will direct its humor at campus issues. The staff has been more successfully when working with nationally relevant material-in- cluding entire issues devoted to parodies of Time (Tyme) and the New Yorker (New Forker). But. then, they have had plenty of models or instances of direct steals. Gargoyle is always pressed to come up with original comments on local happenings, straining the already overworked subjects of overcrowding and "anonymity at the impersonal 'U." On occasion, though, it has almost soared, as with a successful spoof of Genera- tion, the campus inter-arts mag- azine. Something in that issue called the "Piece Worker," takes of the Hopwood Award-winning script "Peacemaker." It plays on writer Carl Oglesby's intense mo- railty and involvement, which maks him a capable spokesman for the activities but hurts his art. Garg exposes his failure to maintain an emotionaladetach- ment from his work and to mas- ter a Hesse-type capacity for laughing at contradictions. Objects for future Garg ridicule, good-natured of course, might in- clude the pompous would-be cam- pus literati ("Stay out of my 'self'" Abbot White), the ultra- dedications of the activists, the cloying pleas of crusaders for a "student role in the decision mak- ing process," the making of the University President...

Students By ANNE RICHMOND and RAYNA RAPP MICH IGAN'S Wolverines - Michigan's I famous Marching Band-The Victors- State Street-The League-The Union GENERATION is an inter-arts magazine. "Inter-arts" i m p ii e s many things. It provides an arena where people interested in all phases of the arts can exchange ideas and present their work. The "inter" of "inter-arts" means that potential poets can be published side by side with an original sonata, back to back with modern dance notation, and all in the same issue with a portfolio of r- For RESULTS Read and Use Daily Clossifieds a dozen photographs of Pakistani children. The "arts" of "inter-arts" means that it aims at quality, the repre- sentation of the finest creative ef- forts being produced on campus right now. Anybody is welcome to contribute work that shows prom- ise, excitement, and enthusiasm; freshmen as well as in Ph.D. can- didates and alumni. The composition of the staff re- flects the varied interests and scope of the magazine. The main- stay of the senior staff includes an editor for every phase of the arts: drama and book reviewing, photography and art work, music and non-fiction, as well as poetry and fiction. For anyone interested in the actual editing and production of a small magazine, Generation pro- vides unlimited opportunities for learning techniques of layout, composition, proofreading, adver- tising, and circulation. Each editor has his own staff, but the maga- zine organization is small enough to allow everyone .to participate in as many aspects as interest them. The possibilities of the arts are limitless. Last year, Generation's seventeenth, was a year of expan- sion. The first and second issues ran an 80-page analysis of the Once Festival, Ann Arbor's yearly avant-garde music concert series. In the field of non-fiction we pub- - all are great traditions of a great University. lished a 60-page essay by the pres- ident of Students for a Democratic Society, on the war in Viet Nam. We expanded and grew to meet the challenge of our contributors and, with the increasing resources of the campus community, Gener- ation has come to include more and more. The expansion went beyond the covers of the magazine. Genera- tion sponsored two poetry read- ings, and a number of seminars with faculty members who dis- cussed particular literary topics. In addition, the'e were open workshops on editorial techniques and magazine production. The eighteenth year of publica- tion will continue this process of expansion to fulfill Generation's role as a magazine both of the arts and of the campus. The ar- tistic community has many unique offerings-the Once Festival which we have already chronicled is one of them; the Professional Theatre Program, the experimental film showings, the education theatre experiments of the speech depart- ment, and the Choreographers' Workshop at Barbour gym are others and worthy of coverage in Generation. An expanding audience is an- other goal that this eighteenth volume will set for itself. Genera- tion should be an integral part of the campus and, as such, should reach as many people as possible. For the first time subscriptions will be available at registration, which will entitle the subscriber to all three issues for the 1966-67 year for $1.25, a saving over the regular price of 50 cents each if bought individually. The first mass meeting will be 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 7, at the Generation office in the Stu- dent, Publications Bldg., 420 May- nard St. Anyone interested in the arts in magazine production, in being involved with the cultural life of the campus is welcome.
