Butterfield. Last week the student Senate tentatively allotted money for "Scribulus," Weber State's literary magazine. The appropriation was less than the previous year. To make up for the difference "Scribulus" will be issued twice next year instead of three times as had been done in the past. Also there will be fewer copies printed of each issue.

Many students interpret the awarding of funds to the magazine for another year as a temporary reprieve, and not as an indefinite guarantee. The quality of the magazine has been spotty at best. If this is not greatly improved, so that the magazine will be better received by the studentbody, it may find itself struggling for life again next spring. It has been suggested, and seems probable, that a new format will be used. Under this plan, it would not only be a literary magazine, but an academic forum for the college.

It has also been suggested that less expensive production be used, and more emphasis be placed on the writing quality. The Senate has given "Scribulus" another chance. If it doesn't make good this time, especially in light of all the free publicity it has received, it won't deserve another reprieve next spring..
