IN THIS ISSUE Appearing as a literary supple- to this week's STETSON REPORTER is the first edition of the Stetson literary publication THE PARADIGM. For some fifteen years past there have been attempts to publish a literary magazine on this campus. The PARADIGM was; conceived as a separate and unique publication in magazine • form, but due to the cutting of the budgets of most university projects, THE PARADIGM was unable to finance the originally proposed magazine. Plans are being considered to publish several editions each year. It is the hope of ;he editors that THE PARADIGM, especially £his first edition, will foster a more widespread interest in creative writing among our students.
