Grady Ballard (very few scholarly journals are ever completely self-sustaining) “but we are able to pay for about two-thirds of the printing costs and other expenses through subscriptions; the rest of the costs of publishing ‘Stu dies’ comes from a College sub sidy.” In addition to the articles and reviews, “Studies” also publi shes special bibliographies and indices from time to time. The 1970 winter issue was devoted to a “Cross-Referenced Index of Recent Short Fiction Antho logies and Author-Title List ing.” The next special issue, scheduled for release this win ter will be devoted to Latin America Literature.

Hoskins edits short fiction publication Newberry College’s name spreads throughout the literary world every three months when the College publishes an issue of “Studies in Short Fiction.” “Studies” is a scholarly jour nal devoted exclusively to se rious commentary on short fic tion; Dr. Frank Hoskins, head of the English Department at Newberry College, edits the quarterly with the assistance of a staff of associate and assis tant editors. An Editorial Com mittee from some of the lead ing universities in the United States and Europe also review some of the articles. Mrs. Mar ilyn Rinehart, secretary in the College’s English Department, handles the business side of the publishing venture. “The magazine fills a voic in the serious discussion of lit erature,” Dr. Hoskins said, ‘Stu dies’ is the only journal pu blished today that considers only the short story. Inciden tally,” he continued, “Newberry College is one of the smallest colleges (enrollment 805) that publish a scholarly journal in any field.” In determining what makes a story “short”, Dr. Hoskins com mented editorially in a recent issue of “Studies”: “What, in fact, is short? asks the embattled editor and sinks another inch into dialectical quicksand. To a Brobdingna- gian a twelve-foot adult is a mannikin; to a Lilliputian, a pygmy is a giant. When is a story not short? How long is a long story? Indeed, how long is a story? “Presumably, a story is what a spinner of yarns spins out after the day’s work, after the evening meal, when men are tired and tales, if not eye gouging, are perhaps, the only recreation. The epic comes la ter. but even the epic with its unifying themes is a series of stories, each story being com plete in itself; that is to say. adapted to one sitting. It seems only logical, then, to observe that the tale or story has earn ed for itself the right to be cal led “story” without confusing qualifiers such as short, short er, not-so-long and so on. In effect, a story is a “story” and not a “short” or a “long” or a “long short” or a “short long” story.. It is a fiction that we can read in a sitting. (We must admit that because of their length, some stories in duce fundamental paralysis.)” Dr. Hoskins and Dr. Purvis Boyette, than a member of the Newberry College faculty and now on the staff of Tulane Uni versity in New Orleans and the present editor of “Tulane Stu dies in Literature,” founded the quarterly in 1964. “It was really Dr. Boyette’s brainchild,” Dr. Hoskins com mented, “One day we were en gaged in ‘shop talk’ over coffee and he suddenly asked me ‘Whv don’t we publish a serious jour nal?” “After some brainstorming, we presented the idea to our president, Dr. A. G. D. Wiles, who gave us the College’s full financial and moral support.” During the planning stages of the magazine, the two editors surveyed English departments at colleges, requesting ideas and contributions to the magazine. “Except for the first few is sues,” Dr. Hoskins said, “we have had no difficulty in get ting material. In fact, one pro blem is our enormous backlog of articles; we like to publish an article within one year after it has been accepted, but we now have enough material on file to take us well into 1972.” “We receive approximately 400 manuscripts a year,” he continued, “and use only about 40 of them. When we receive an article, the editors with the aid of Newberry College faculty members read it. If we are in doubt as to the quality of the article, we sent it to members of our Editorial Committee for their comments and analysis.” “Studies” reviews 35-40 new books and anthologies of short fiction that are published each year. The staff sends copies of the new books to the journal’s far-flung corps of reviewers on campuses throughout the coun try asking for brief comments and a critical review. Most of the 1,000 subscribers are educational institutions al though 100 individuals also sub scribe to the magazine. “We are not self-supporting yet,” Dr. Hoskins commented, NOTICE To Voters of District Two Vote For A Mon.. • whose record proves he will do everything possible for the good of the youth of this county. 15 years experience on the Newberry County Board of Education. • whose interest in youth is also measured in 16 years of work with the Newberry District Boy Scouts, serving in various capacities from Order of the Arrow advisor to member of the Executive Committee of the Blue Ridge Council.
