Editorial be THE EDITORS The problems encountered in publishing a successful literary magazine are numerous. This spring, we are confronted with a new (and in many ways delightful) dilemma—a surplus of printable nia terial. However, there is a less delightful aspect of our dilemma' The budget books rear their ugly deficits. In the past, Extte has been allotted a budget of $425 per se- mester, sufficient to print 1300 copies of a forty page magazine. With this sum of money at our disposal, we cannot print all of the quality writing being done at Denison, nor can we afford to dis- tribute copies to faculty, administration and off-campus readers. In view of these circumstances, it is perhaps in order that we evaluate briefly what Exile, since its inception in 1954, has contrib- uted to Denison University. Unquestionably, the magazine, in corre- lation with the writing courses, has encouraged many students to embark on creative work. This fact alone, we feel, should warrant Exiles continued support. In addition, staff writers have met with considerable success in off-campus writing circles. John Miller, Exile's first editor, has been granted a creative writing scholarship at Stanford University. The stories by Nil Muldur and Jim Bowman from last year's editions will appear in the forthcoming New Campus Writing anthology published by Bantam Books. Jim's story, "The Berry Pickers," was awarded first prize in the McGraw-Hill Com- 'n this issue the editors of EXILE are proud to publish "Departure" by Yofco pany's short story contest. Kuyama.
