Its visual quality made one student want to begin reading right away when she was shown a copy of the current edition of The Southern Quill. "It's just very appealing to the eye," said Maddie Long, a sophomore physical therapy major from Hurricane. "You look through the different pages, and just seeing the artwork and everything is a huge part of what drew me in." Working on The Southern Quill is a responsibility King, the student editors and staff all share. "Our priority is to respectfully handle the work of our writers and to promote and publicize their work," King said. Their dedication is evident as you read. Every short poem gets its own page; at times accompanied by a photo which compliments the prose. Every story is printed in an effort to make it easier to read. Photography, pictures of art and drawings add depth and contrast to an amalgamation of words and phrases, giving the reader more to appreciate than simple black and JONN HOLLAND trippyjedi Writers seeking to be published submit work to literary journals and art magazines ranging from ballad and haiku collections to science fiction anthologies, but in The Southern Quill, one will find assorted poems, stories, photography and art. The journal was first published in 1951 and for the past 67 years has spread pon etry, fiction, and visual art created by Dixie State University students and writers throughout Utah. Recently, the publication has invited residents of Clark County, Nevada to submit works as well. "I think expanding our parameters for submitters has really established it as a real journal," said Cindy King, assistant professor of English. "It's also given me an opportunity to spread our word and become more visible." Extending their reach to other counties is one way The Southern Quill improves its reputation, according to feedback King non-fictio- white letters. While turning its pages, one gets a sense that the combination of commitment from the editors and staff, the passion of the writers and artists who submit their work and the devotion to bringing these works to the public is what attributes to the longevity of The Southern Quill. For Izzy Rodriguez, a sophomore theatre major from Las Vegas, the reason is much simpler than that. "Storytelling's never going to go out of style," said Rodriguez. "Because it's very hard to become a successful published writer, and The Southern Quill gives people the opportunity to share their work." Whether you're a poet, fiction or writer, have a photograph, painting or drawing you want to exhibit, The Southern Quill has a place between its pages for any who wish to take the opportunity to share it. Submissions to The Southern Quill will be open in October, King said, and those submissions can be made online on the submit-tabl- e page of the journal's website at thesouthernquill. corm opportunity to students , , - 1 1 ;: , , I non-ficti- CZ. 7D 1: : 1 Z.. 1 '6' z c2 1 The newest edition and past editions of the Southern Quill are filled with poetry, short stories, and visual art.

Stephanie Telles, a sophomore psychology major from Manteca, CA, and shift leader at Panda Express said: "I think the card has affected the business in a really positive way because it brings in a lot of college students and they usually come in groups. For someone to come in and get a discount really helps. It brings a lot of business and it helps the customer." Telles said Panda Express also offers students 10 percent off with their student ID, but it can not be combined with any Starving Student Card deal. The card not only offers a wide variety of food, drink and dessert deals, but also includes a completely free: car wash, manicure, haircut, tan and more. Students can use their Starving Student Cards at businesses in St. George, Cedar City, Hurricane, Parowan and Mesquite. , el Wednesday telling people to stay away from the area, known as McCorlde Place. "We know from past experience that when groups with opposing views come together in a highly charged environment, there is a real possibility for demonstrations to escalate to violence," said the letter, from Chancellor Carol Poll and Provost Robert Blouin. "Your safety is always our highest priority." The dueling demonstrations come after Saturday's clash between a small group of people carrying Confederate flags and a larger group of counterprotesters near the statue. Police made seven arrests that day on various charges, including assault, resisting an officer and damage to property. The groups showed up five days after Silent Sam was toppled in a larger protest on Aug. 20. The Facebook page of the UNC Students of the Silent Sam Sit-i- n advertised their event with the slogan "dance on his grave!" adding, "White supremacists are coming to UNC on Thursday night for a 'Twilight Vigil' for Silent Sam. Come dance, speak out, shut them down and show them that hate is not welcome on our campus." The ACTBAC Facebook page posted a warning Wednesday, advising people not to start trouble. "We have one cause and one cause only," the post said. "NOTHING MORE AND NOTHING LESS Our cause is to show support for the damaged memorial and to give our respects to those he represents. To the sons of UNC and the old North state. Silent Sam has silently stood in honor looking North to make sure that those names and sons are not forgotten." Saying "you are either with us or against us and our cause," the group said it was establishing ground rules for the event. "We hope and pray for a peaceful and honorable service tomorrow," the Facebook post said. "That being said, there will be a large amount of devilish and ungodly opposition. They are not coming to play on d and play the pattiecake in the sand box. They are vulgar, loud, disrespectful towards police and women, they will attempt merry-go-roun- to belittle you and call you every name in the book, and the worst of the worst, they are violent." The gathering, in the evening, is likely to present a challenge to public safety. on Saturday, police had set up barricades around the pedestal, blocked off a central street through campus and erected barricades in downtown Chapel Hill. Officers from several area law enforcement agencies were on hand, including campus police departments from across the UNC system. On Tuesday, UNC campus officials said they are seeking a "lawful and lasting" plan for the future of the Confederate monument, which is now in an undisclosed location for safekeeping. The UNC system's Board of Governors directed Foil and the campus Board of Trustees to come up with a plan by Nov. 15. Folt has said all options are on the table, including moving Silent Sam to a different location or reinstalling the statue to its original spot. "Our police have already begun working with all the partners," Folt said Tuesday. "There are resolution agreements that bring officers from around the state to assist. They are well under way at considering that, and I do really think they will do everything necessary to keep the peace at that moment and keep us going forward." The letter from Folt and Blouin encouraged students, faculty and staff to report any threats or call 911 if they feel threatened on campus. The university also offered counseling services.
