These Publications have a History of Disaster Past Failures of Humor Magazines Due to Lack of Financial Backing By Lorna Davis Are campus literary am] humor magazine* doomed to fail at Ore gon? The past indicates they have been received with success by stu dents, but have not been encour aged with enough committee and financial backing. The literary and humor maga zines published In the past 50 years have Included everything from the "Ducdame," an artistic magazine of short stories and poetry, to “No Scruples,’’ a sophisticated ”Es quire’’ type of humor magazine. The editors and contributors of these magazines have achieved prominence both in literary and Journalistic circles. Among the well-known writers are Ernest Haycox, author “Canyon Passage" and many ether Western stories, and Robert Ormond Case, author of “The Empire Builder’’ and other stories of early Northwestern set tlers. •Journalists Journalists include E. Palmer Hoyt, editor of the Denver Post, Herb Larson, drama editor of the Oregonian and Dean Collins, gar den editor of the Oregon Journal. The first literary magazine was started in 1910 under the name of "Oregon Monthly.” It was edited by Dean Collins, and was dedicated to represent a true picture of col lege life through short stories, ar ticles and poetry. Karl Onthank, now director of the graduate place ment service, headed the engineer ing section. In 1919, because of the agitation of students for a real literary mag azine, the “Lemon Punch" was ori ginated. The first editor was Rob ert Ormond Case, and" he recieved the hearty support of both the Journalism and English faculty. This magazine was published six times during the year and anyone could contribute material through the "Punchbowl" at the library, and the "Lemon Punch box" at the Emerald shack. On May 19, 1921, the largest issue, with 40 pages, was published. Through the next few years it faced financial difficulties and was finally put on a yearly basis and distributed with the Oregana. It wasn’t until 1932 that the movement for a literary magazine collected enough supporters. The "Ducdame" was founded. This magazine was on a high artistic level and the copy was carefully screened. Two hundred and seventy copies were sold for 25 cents at the Co-op, and 130 copies were sent to Portland. Honorary Mention This careful screening proved successful and two of the stories were given honorary mention in the 1932 memorial collection of O. Henry. They were "The Afemoon of a Faun" by Myron Griffin and "The Gate” by Janet Fitch. After the "Ducdame" several magazines were launched ranging from the "Penny Review” in 1935, edited by an English criticism class, to humor magazines periodi cally published on a lower plane. Published Six Times In the early and mid-forties, the Emerald devoted a page to short story writers, and in 1947 the liter ary magazine ‘‘Puddles” was origi tee, so it was abandoned, natod and production was all set to begin. At the last moment it did not receive any backing from the Student Educational commit During these years when campus and literary magazines started and failed, "Old Oregon," alumni magazine, and the “Oregon Law Review,” edited by law school stu dents, came into existence, and these magazines still survive.
