UNL magazine staff hopes
to div
magazine that is
.limited to publishing the work of only English
majors. And, not surprisingly, the bulk of con
tributors are ftofrt that department The genres
of writing printed also remain in that aesthetic
realm.
“Our core interest is in creative works -
essays, poems, stories,” Kuzma said. “But
we’re interested in diversity. There are hun
dreds of topics we’d like to address.”
Krista Magnuson, one of four editors on
this year’s Laurus staff, agreed that one vision
for Laurus is to get contributors from other
departments in the university.
we re trying to make Laurus more ot a
campus tradition, rather than an English one,”
Magnuson said. “We’re getting good work
from English majors, but we want to get work
from everyone to show that ybu don’t have tltf
be an English major to contribute.”
On top of being thought of as an English
publication, many feel that students from
other disciplines aren’t even aware Laurus
exists.* i' v

about Laurus.
“Students are aware bin prot
much as they ought to be,” Kunt
when students participated in
were thrilled.”
“I’m not sure too many students know
about Laurus,” said Tice Miller, a professor of
theater arts and dance. “It needs a little cam
paigning, but it’s a wonderful publication.”
This year’s copy of Laurus has included
some work from students in other depart
ments.
“We’re using art. (from students) and have
made a connection with the theater depart
ment,” Kuzma said.
In addition to the inclusion of art, a few
other forms of writing appear in this edition of
Laurus. Among them is a play by Justin
Bottsford and a panel discussion among four
artists by Adryan Mallorey.
But Magnuson and Kuzma said they feel
the scope of their vision can be better realized.
“We made some headway in the current
issue, but not near as much as we hoped. We’re
working really hard at it,” Magnuson said.
“If we could get contributions about sci
ence or sports, it would be really great,”
Kuzma said. “But it will be tough.”
Kuzma said works of all kinds could be
submitted. , _
