There is still time lor student writers and artists
to submit their work to Timberline, the Universi
ty's annual creative writing magazine
The deadline for submissions has been pushed
back to Feb. 4 Art Kditor Amy Devlelian said more
artwork is needed, but the staff will look at quality
submissions of any kind
The opportunity for students to got published was
one of the most important motivations behind the
creation of Timberiine seven years ago, in the fall
of 1087. The magazine is published by the Uni
versity Literary Society, which receives funds from
ASUO.
Its seventh edition, distributed campus-wide and
Iree of charge, will come out about the middle of
spring term Previously just for graduate students,
this year's Timberiine will consist only of under
graduate submissions in order to give publishing
opportunity to a crowd that more often goes unreo
ognized
"An interesting point about Timberiine is that
there is no faculty watching over our decisions.''
Devletian said.
Three new chief editors have now been work
ing on the spring 1994 issue since the beginning of
fall term.
Eliza both Carmichael, a senior in history, is the
fiction editor. Her name had been put forward for
this job by one of her creative writing teachers after
she participated in the Walter Kidd Tutorial Pro
gram. a one-year high-standard program offered by
the creative writing department.
The preparation of Timberiine is a way to fill the
creative vacuum felt after the end of the Kidd class
es, a way not to lose creativity and to remain in the
creative writing community.
"It's nice sometimes to break off with my histo
rv studies." Carmit hael said "Titnberhnr consti
tutes rt new experience."
The poetry <*ditor is Joshua Morse, who is now
preparing ins thesis in cultural anthropology
"I use Timbrrlinr as a medium for my own mspi
ration It's an opportunity to keep m\ self involved
in creative writing hut with a different |>ers|Hx live."
Morse said
Morse noticed the importance of interaction with
Other people.
"This is an exciting adventure, because of its
experimental aspect.” Morse said. "First, no one of
us had lieen involved previously in this kind of pro
ject. Furthermore, every year has its own style, and
the editors try something new.”
Devletian. a graphic design major, is using tins
experience to stretch her abilities After the final
selections of artwork submissions, her job will con
sist of putting all the writing onto disks, half ton
ing all of the art and creating the cover
"I'm looking forward to the learning experience
of seeing this project go from an idea to the pro
press stage and finally to print." Devletian said
Mom generally, their (Mission for art brought these
students together They meet informally about om e
a week Because last year s editors left almost no
records, the new people in i harge are learning as
they go.
In addition to these three i hief editors, a com
mittee of six voluntary assistant dins tors, mostly
undergraduates iu creative w riting (this department
is now separated from the Fnglish department) will
help to select the most appropriate submissions
in fiction and poetry.
"Work is submitted (to the committee) anony
mously." Carmichael said, so that impartiality and
fairness are preserved and that only i riteria such
as quality and originality are taken into account
IFC streamlines group budgets
By Mandy Baucum

The Incidental Fee Committee
stuck to streamlining student
group budgets during its Tues
day night meeting but also
entered a conflict of interests
discussion.
At the meetings opening )ian
Liu, the committee chairperson,
began by asking committee
members to consider a budget
freeze on the United States Stu
dent Association, a student lob
bying organization.
The USSA, which currently
receives about $10,927 in IFC
monies, made a special request
for more money last week
Thu group members voted on
the special request, even though
six of the IFC's seven members
are involved with the organiza
tion.
"We should not have voted on
the special request," Shannon
Wall said told her fellow IFC
members.
The 1FC finally decided to
request a formal investigation of
USSA.
IFC members decided on the
budgets for the following five
student groups:
The IFC granted the Solar
Information Center $2,648 for
the coining years budgBl, u 1 -1
percent decrease from its cur
rent budget.
Target of Opportunity Gradu
ate Advisory Coalition received
$1 ,h:m, a 6.8 percent decrease
from its current budget
The Minority Law Students
Association received $1,776.
which is a 15.6 percent increase
from its current budget
University of Oregon l.iterary
Society received $4,320. which
was no change from its current
budget.
Pre-Health Sciences Center
received $357, a 1.1 percent
increase from its current budget.
