The University's Georgia
Review, a well-kept secret
on campus, broke precedent
by winning a Governor's
Award in the Arts last
February, an accolade
usually reseved for in
dividuals.
Stanley W Lindberg. the
editor of the magazine for
the past seven years and an
English professor, defined
the literary magazine as "c>
quarterly journal of arts and
letters containing in
terdisciplinary essays, short
stories, poetry, book reviews
and graphics published by
the University since 1947 "
Read in 50 to 60 countries,
The Georgia Review has
gained international ac-
calim The national cir
culation is broader in other
cities than in Athens, Und-
berg said.
"We hve one of the widest
circulations of any quarterly
of its kind," Lindberg said.
“The readership is larger
than other literary journals
including Southern Review
and Chicago Review ’
James B Colvert, editor of
The Georgia Review from
1968 to 1972 said he looked at
the magazine as “a kind of
extension of the classroom."
Lindberg said, "I believe
that today the magazine
caters to readers who are out
of college and working in a
variety of fields who wish to
keep current with what is
happening in American
writing."
The Georgia Review
began in 1947 when a group
(\t (aoiilto mamharc rlacirloil
that the University needed a
magazine to represent the
institution
At first the journal focused
mainly on the state and only
published Georgia writers.
During the last 10 to 12
years, however, the
magazine has published
national and international
writers.
The Georgia Review has
received many honorary
citations and reviews as a
magazine with outstanding
style and interesting sujects.

The Christian Science
Monitor states, “The best of
them all is the amazing
Georgia Review.”
"We look at the Christian
Science Monitor's praise as
a kind of award in itself,"
Lindberg said
Colvert said he believes
that such praise only comes
from an academic journal
being "wholeheartedly
academic."

Placement Office
worth the trouble
By JENNIFER QUAY
Krd and Black Settlor Reporter
Using the University's
Office of Career Planning
and Placement is a process
involving many steps and
piuch paperwork, but many
Students say it's worth the
trouble
The first stage in a
student's battle to get a job
through the office in Clark
Howell Hall is a career
planning seminar, said Ken
Hansing, the office’s
Education Career Advisor
This first session consists
of a tour of the facilities —
the job notice room, the sign
up areas and the library
containing company in
formation — and an ex
planation of procedures.said
David Wooten, a senior in
computer science who has
had seven interviews
through the office this fall
After the preview session,
students have to fill out
forms that become their
resumes on file and return
4wo teacher recom
mendations and one
recommendation from a
previous employer
Hansing said this is a
lifetime file and few schools
he knows of have such a
lifetime service.
Once students have files,
• they can sign up to interview
iwith any of the 700 com
panies that come to the of
fice, Hansing said.
: "About 700 companies
send representatives, but we
get about 2,100 reps because
a company may send dif
ferent people to interview for
their different departments,
such as sales or accounting,
he said
Wooten said he has signed
up at 5:30 a m. two weeks in
advance of interviews.
"The demand for my
specific major is so high and
when the companies come,
they only interview 15 or so
people, so I have to get over
there early," he said
Jeff Brannon, a senior in
finance, said he's sure he'll
get a job through the office,
but that he doesn't have to
get up as early as Wooten
Hansing said the office
directors tried to alleviate
the early morning lines by
alloting different days for
different majors to sign up
Also an early morning sign
up time was the best way to
be fair to most students
because of their various
school and work schedules
"I'm certainly not saying
it's a perfect system, but
when students are lining up
for two days for Sugar Bowl
or concert tickets, they
shouldn't feel too bad about
lining up to sign up here for
interviews with out-of-town
companies,” he said
The office also offers to
videotape and critique an
interview and offers tapes of
other interviews to watch so
a student knows what to
expect
Wooten said he watched a
videotaped interview and
that it helped him not only
know what to expect, but
how to act On the advice of
placement counselors, he
also has spent a lot of time
researching the companies
he is interviewing with
“I guess that’s just the
price you have to pay if you
want a job." he said
Ken Hansing counsels Julie Lewis
Kim Simon, The Hwi and Block
Greg Adair, a senior in
broadcast journalism, said,
“They have plenty of stuff
I'm interested in because
I've decided to interview
outside my major.”
Some companies will
interview students with any
major, Hansing said.
Of the more than 3000
students who filed with the
office last year, Hansing
said he didn't know how
many were actually suc
cessful in getting jobs
"Placement is a
misnomer," he said. “We
don't actually place. We
provide the companies that
come here with the rooms
(for interviews) and with the
data sheets...we are just the
initial contact."
Only the best writing in each
category receives the honor
of being published
Competition to be
published in The Georgia
Review is stiff. Writers send
their works to the magazine
and the staff begins the
difficult task of selecting the
best of the contributions.
“We’re looking for the best
writing and no* just the best
names," Lindberg added.
Several well-known
writers have contributed to
the journal, including Robert
Frost, William Faulkner and
Joyce Carol Oates.
Lindberg said a new
writer, Mary Hood, had her
work published in the
magazine and has recently
received the Flannery
O’Connor Award.
Susan Ponsoldt, a writer
featured in the fall 1984 issue
of The Georgia Review, said
she submitted her work to
the magazine because “It
has a veiy good reputation
as a literary magazine.”
Her short story "Jarius’
Daughter" was described by
Lindbert as a piece that
shows the new writer's
promise.
The next issue of the
quarterly magazine will be
out around Dec. 15 featuring
the longest short story ever
published by the magazine.
The story, by Lelie Epstein,
will run approximately 60
pages Lindberg explained
that, because of its length, it
could be classified as a
novella instead of a short
Stanley Lindberg
storv. The
Another possible article
for the December issue will
be a piece that Lindberg
claims is not particularly
flattering to journalists
titled "Writers on Jour
nalists — a Version of
Atheism."
Lindbert said a science
fiction piece will also appear
in the December issue.
Lindberg said most people
call the magazine a literary
quarterly but he added that
the magazine tries to
provide variety in its
literary content.
"Our intent is to make it a
general journal of arts and
letters, not exclusively
literary in its focus," Lind
berg said "That's why we
run interdisciplinary essays
dealing with art, science,
psychology and many other
topics.
ie Red and Black
Georgia Review is
strictly supported and
published by the University.
Lindberg explained that
revenue from the sales
provide enough income to
maintain the magazine.
Although the income from
selling advertisements and
the rights to publish articles
E rovides some funding, the
niversity still provides
most of the magazine's
financial support.
The magazine doesn’t
keep up with current events
as a newspaper or magazine
for reading pleasure would.
Instead The Georgia Review
offers writing that is more
carefully thought out,
reflecting on issues with
more depth and analysis.
