Led by Editors Bruce Baer and Max Berg, the 1961-62 Vanguard was a lively college newspaper that sometimes raised eyebrows with its strong editorial stands on controversial issues at Portland State. The aura of healthy debate on the paper was only a part of its broad and informative coverage of the college. More features, better photography and all-around quality journalism made the Vanguard a vital part of student life at PSC . Creative writing and art are becoming increasingly apparent and important at PSC. The Student Review, under Editor Bill Strong and his staff, provided a stimulating reflection of literary and art activity at the college. An enterprising subscription campaign insured for the first time that the magazine would be a financial as well as an artistic success. Interest in this year's Review indicates the publication will continue to grow as an outlet for creative student work. Many of the fine posters and calligraphic announcements found on the walls of Portland State can be traced to the school's two competent staff artists, Sandy Parrish and Karen Haberman. With brush and pen, they turned ordinary messages into bright spots on bulletin boards.
