FLUX '97 received the Society of Professional Journalist's Mark of Excellence award in August. The award essentially names the magazine as "the best student magazine in the nation."

InFlux, the website companion to the award-winning student-run FLUX magazine, was named by Project Cool as a "Cool Site of the Day" in June. According to The Project Cool Team, the site created by the on-line staff, led by graduate student Laura Esterman, "makes effective use of the web as a medium and in some way shows off the web's potential. It is a site that others building for the web can look to for inspiration." You can check out InFlux at http://influx. uoregon.edu.

The magazine itself also won first place (out of 28 entries) in the category "Single Issue of an Ongoing Magazine" in the 1997 Association for Journalism and Mass Communication Student Magazine Contest.

CORRECTIONS:
In the story "Tim Gleason named interim dean" (Flash Spring 1997), we neglected to provide a title for John Moseley, who is quoted in the story. Moseley was at that time the University's provost and vice president for academic affairs. Also, on Page 2, Column 2, the final paragraph begins "The public has been lead. Maybe so, but in this case they should have been led. Thanks to John Matthews, '46, for letting us know.
