' If by Ann Gambrino Forum stcff writer Ellipsis Literature and Art is a collection of reproduced contemporary prose, poetry and visual art, published each fall and spring by the students of Westminster. So far this year, said editor Roger Mangelson, we have approximately 1,000 written pages for recommendation . Last year submissions included not only local and national talent, but international as well, arriving from Austria, Italy, and as far as Australia. The volume is solely a student undertaking and all published pieces are selected by the staff. Dr. Katharine Coles, Ellipsis faculty advisor, said, I try to orient the students as to what is happening in contemporary literature. I give them a foundation for their decisions. Each submission is read and reviewed several times by staff members and recommendations are made to the editors for their final decisions. The editor oversees the entire production and edition process of Ellipsis. Staff members use their various skills not only for the actual production, but also to solicit submissions and monetary contributions, to compose and distribute press releases, to develop advertising, to dispense honoraria to contributors and to organize the debut reading of Ellipsis. 1 am looking forward to this year because we have such a fantastic staff, commented Mangelson. This years staff also includes assistant editor Robin Larsen and business manager Linda Bums. .
