Flexible Format

The Spectator's new tabloid
format permits a level of flexibility
unmatched by the old UVM. The
art work, especially the cartoons,
deserves praise. Susan Dickey's
photography is excellent, although
she could have used some help from
other contributors.

In balance, the strength of the
new Spectator lies in the fact that it
has come so far from the days of
the dry, impotent and boring rag
which preceded it. What weaknesses
it has are correctable. A broader
sense of direction should be
expected in future issues, growing
from an already firm base.
