This fall they plan to print the third issue of the square-shaped publication, as well as launch an updated, improved version of their Web site. The theme for this fall is "glass, nails, and other hazards," which Maika Pollack '98 describes as an "accessible theme that will help to break down the traditional formats of publications...
