The Traveler
Comments & Commentary
The
Traveler, GCC's student art/literary magazine, has
been in the press quite a bit lately. Articles appeared in the
Arizona Republic and the
Chronicle of Higher Education during
May, 2001, following concerns voiced by Arizona legislators about the
appropriateness of the art in the magazine. The

in Glendale: Community college literary magazine sparks right-wing
censorship battle by John W. Allman (6/14/2001) is available online. |

The Traveler Rates High Again
from President's Newsletter, Dr. Phillip Randolph
GCC's literary and arts magazine, The Traveler, consistently places very
high among its counterparts, year after year. On Sept. 30, I learned that
the publication received another Gold Medal from the Columbia Scholastic
Press Association, earning 964 of 1,000 possible points for organization,
content and design. This rating is one of the highest The Traveler has
received in its 35-year history. Congratulations to literary faculty
advisors Kathleen "Casey" Furlong, Johnnie Clemens May and Joy Wingersky; to
visual arts faculty advisors Pam Hall and Dean Terasaki; and to English
student editors Mandy O'Dell and Nicole Robbins.

I stumbled onto the Traveller site that you maintain by accident and just
wanted to say that I am very impressed by the content.
When so often we are assaulted by rubbish this site was a welcome and
rewarding treat.

Based on the rather sensationalist
article in this week's Chronicle of Higher Education, I visited your website
and spent some time looking at several issues of Traveler. I find the
publication to be very well done and am proud that it is the work of
community college students. Jim Kearns' work is amazing. He is a promising
artist and an excellent talent. Thanks for offering the magazines on the
website.

Thanks to the Chronicle of Higher
Education I am now aware of the literary publication The Traveler. Please
continue to do all you can to thwart the knee-jerk actions of people such as
State Senator Bundgaard.
All the best,

I'm a little late getting a good
look at the web version of The Traveler. I'm very impressed that we have
such a thing on-line. It is something we should brag about, rather than hide
for fear of the book burning mentalities out there... Anyway, great job, as
usual.
