See sub sub series RG 6 14.5.3 The Quill for History/Bio information.
The unQuill or Daily Quill (2000) does not constitute part of the archival record of the Quill, as it was published without the authority of the Students' Union or the BUSU Communications Board. A dispute with those in charge of the production of the newspaper had remained unresolved and the Board shut the paper down for a period in Spring and Fall 2000. During this time, the Quill staff published the unQuill and the Daily Quill.
