Transcript | Student Publications STAFF: Jean Scarborough, assistant editor; John Barrett, co-editor; Glenda Brownback, associate editor; Ruth Dawson, co-editor. Harvest Fights Against Outside Acts of Censors Censorship marred the publication of the 1968 Harvest. As the literary magazine of Student Publications, the Harvest was thrust into controversy when the University Printing Plant refused to publish a poem containing a four letter word. Harvest co-editors John Barrett and Ruth Dawson, aided by the Daily Cougar staff, rebelled against administrative censorship and fought for complete editorial control of the publication. After a special Student Publication's Board Meeting and more controversy, the publication of the Harvest, scheduled for spring, was postponed until the fall, 1968, when a larger magazine would be issued. The decision to postpone publication was made by Professor S. N. Karch- mer, Harvest adviser. Short stories, poetry, plays, essays and art work contributions from students and faculty are published in the Harvest. Qualified judges make the selections and prizes are awarded in several categories. John Barrett explains the Harvest's position on censorship at a special session of the Student Publication's Board. 433 |
