## New format for Eiks an Ens
-Old friends will recall that _Eiks an Ens_ has formerly been a literary
-magazine to accompany _Lallans_. We on the Committee felt that this neither
-gave _Eiks_ the distinct identity which it deserved, nor took full advantage of
-the opportunity it afforded to hold our community together.
