Variety of Publications Offer Literary Gamut by Geoffry Walker
Like to write? Like to take photographs? Want to learn how to do a newspaper or magazine layout? Want to see something from your own pen in print? If your answer to any these questions is “yes”, then Poly publications is the place for you.
Poly publications is comprised of six separate entities: the Reporter, the Poly newspaper; the Engineer, the undergraduate technical magazine; Polywog, the yearbook; Counterweight Quarterly, the literary magazine; Golana, the science fiction magazine; and Focus, the publications’ photography staff.
The Reporter is published every week of academic year, except during holidays and exam periods, with a total of 27 issues. The paper covers all in-Poly and Poly-connected activities, including Spring Carnival, sports, student demonstrations, technical society meetings, etc. as well as other student oriented news, such as recent Columbia University disruption. The staff of the paper is subdivided into several staffs (news, copy, sports, etc.), and each of these staffs needs people willing to work. Drop by room 110 anytime if you are interested.
One of the better college engineering magazines in the country is Polys Engineer. Published four times a year (October, December, February, and April, or whenever its done) the Engineer prints technical articles written by students. Although student authored and edited, the Engineer’s articles cover a wide range of topics, from the New York’s subway system to the historical significance of the angle. If you are interested in working in any capacity on the magazine, come to room 106.
Polywog, the undergraduate yearbook is different from most yearbooks in that it is not a senior-only book. The staff is made up of students from all classes, as a freshman may have just as much responsibility as a senior. The Poly yearbook is noted for its originality and effective graphic presentation.
The center of Poly’s “literary life”, Counterweight Quarterly, in room 104. Published four times a year, (Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer), Counterweight Quarterly prints poetry, fiction, photographs, artwork, and anything else of interest. Badly in need of more fiction, the magazine is anxious for new staff members.
Golana, an “undergraduate science fiction magazine, published semi-regularly,” (usually three times a year), is also ensconced in room 104. Golana prints student-authored science fiction stories, book reviews, and artwork.
Serving all five publications, Focus, the publications photo staff, is open to any student (experienced or inexperienced) with an interest in photography. Focus has its own very well equipped darkroom (including facilities for color processing and printing) in room 114, and an office in room 102. In exchange for a few hours work a week.
To any student interested in getting more out of four years at Poly than eye strain from studying, publications offer an interesting and relaxing diversion, as well as an introduction to what may well turn out to be a career, as it has for Poly graduates. Any staff member of any of the publications will be more than willing to introduce you to the fun of working on the Poly Pubs. Come around!
