'Crucible after yeai By CARPENTER KING Staff Writer The Crucible, USC's literary magazine, is being revived after a year's death. "The office is closed. The Crucible is no longer living, even as an organization," assistant Russell House director Mike Altman said early this year. Late in the summer, however, a small group of students began individually, to try to breath some life into the book. By the latter part of September they had met and resolved whatever basic dif ferences they had. Led,by Elissa Domroe, veteran editor of the reestablishment of "The Sefer," at the Baptist College at Charleston, they asked Dean for Student Affairs, Robert Alexander for authorization to print the book. With Alexander's backing, they went before the board of publications. The board sat without a quorum and handed down a temporary opinion or concensus in favor of reviving the book. Ms. Domroe and crew decided to begin work with this. A staff had already been organized. Ms. Domroe was assisted by Wagner Roberts and Kay Boozer as associate editors, and Buford F. Wells as business manager. Ms. Domroe went before the allocations board and obtained $1,600. The English department agreeded to furnish further aid. Posters were printed and con tributions sought. In the mean time, Wade Batson, the publications board chairman, obtained the necessary number of votes to approve the book of ficially. The goal of the magazine is to provide a media for the literary artist, according to Ms. Domroe. It Available at Better Books SKETCHE&I NEGRO L HISTORY SOUTH C SECOND EDITION by ASA H.
