This cover from 15th October 1965, showcases another hand drawn design which featured stencilled letters along the top and the iconic P&A logo coloured in at the bottom right.

Under the editorship of Brian Oxley, the magazine was demonstrably becoming an integrated part of university life, with adverts for poetry readings of the English Society and accounts of theatre visits being prominent in the magazine.

The editor also pays a homage to previous editor Jeffrey Wainwright. In his opening editorial, Oxley affirms the magazine's desire to 'publish writing that has not yet been absorbed into the static scholastic categories; writing which is 'becoming', which is exciting, fluid, unpredictable.'
