Sweven was originally published as a monthly art insert for the Queens Journal, but due to financial and time restraints Sweven only ran sporadically from 1970- 1971. The goal of Sweven was to provide a forum for creative work on campus, largely focused on visual art pieces, photography and poetry as combined high art piece. During its run Sweven within its issues had many interesting features including covers done by local artists, annual writing contests, local history or interest articles written by authors of Kingston, and details on local art galleries. Sweven as an insert ended in 1971. Between September and December 1978, there was four issue revival of the concept in the form of separate magazine based off of Sweven’s art as run by former art insert editor. But this magazine ended after those four issues in December 1978.

The Third Eye (possibly an extension of Sweven) was an art magazine published by the Queens Journal as an outlet for creative work of Queen’s University community. The Third Eye published Queen’s student submitted material from poetry, short stories, photography and visual art. The publication was created to encourage discussion and criticism on different submitted work in order to create a art community on campus. The third and last issue published on April 3 1972 due to lack of community response.

Conduit was a magazine published by the Alma Mater Society (AMS). It was produced in order to promote student art and writing on campus. Based on its name, Conduit attempted to create change through publication of local art, though less formal then other art magazines like Sweven. Every issue of Conduit consisted of a mixture of poetry, short stories, artwork and other amateur contributions on campus. By April of 1987, Conduit ended its four year run due to competition for funding within the AMS.

Surface was a student newspaper run largely from student contribution that attempted to offer “alternative” political commentary as through seen in its tag line “Surface: emerging into public view.” Though each yearly volume was published by different elected editorial staff, they shared common themes including feminism, environmentalism, free speech, and sexual and gender identity. Also importantly Surface was a platform for Kingston artists and writers to feature poetry, short stories, photography, and various other art forms as seen in the vivid images of the covers. The publication also published articles about international politics from Southern American conflict, African Apartheid movements and United States military actions post-911 bringing campus debates into global focus. Because of the topics covered, Surface garnered a lot of controversy and debate on campus which lead to death threats, various editors stepping down and attempted civil lawsuits. In 1993, as a result of its controversial nature, Surface lost its funding by the Arts and Science Undergraduate Society (ASUS) in the fall referendum. It returned in 1994 but its loss of funding resulted in Surface remaining in a state of flux until its end in 2003.
