Some regard\u00a0<em>Pencil Tracks<\/em>\u00a0as the \u201cpredecessor\u201d of\u00a0<em>Mosaic<\/em>. But careful reading of the Foreword to\u00a0<em>Mosaic<\/em>\u00a0<em>1966<\/em>\u00a0reveals that the two titles refer to one official student literary magazine and the same, as the student leadership decided simply to change the name. The name<em>\u00a0\u201cPencil Tracks\u201d<\/em>\u00a0was used though 1964 for 14 editions, and the name\u00a0<em>\u201cMosaic\u201d<\/em>\u00a0was used for the first time with the 1966 edition and until 1968-69 edition. After a decade\u2019s absence,\u00a0<em>Mosaic\u00a0<\/em>re-emerged in 1979. [\u2026] Second, the emergence of a student literary magazine at Nicholls in 1949 makes\u00a0<em>Mosaic<\/em>\u00a0one of the oldest college student literary magazines in the state, second on to\u00a0<em>The Delta<\/em>\u00a0(later named\u00a0<em>Manchac<\/em>\u00a0and still later named\u00a0<em>The Delta<\/em>\u00a0again) of LSU-Baton Rouge. That magazine began publication only two years earlier but nearly a century after the doors of its institution had opened to students. Given that Nicholls only opened its doors in 1948, student literary publication is much more an integral tradition here than at any other college or university in Louisiana. [\u2026] Third, Nicholls students in the late 1970\u2019s and early 1980\u2019s didn\u2019t simply establish the new series of\u00a0<em>Mosaic<\/em>\u00a0as their legacy. Literary magazines at other state universities depend upon grants, royalties, and donations and as a result of this uncertain funding, go into and out of publication. In 1981, Nicholls students were prescient enough to self-assess financial support of their magazine and thereby secure its continuity.\u201d<\/p><p>Visit the Ellender Library <a href=\"https:\/\/nicholls.libguides.com\/archives\/mosaic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Archives<\/a> page for more<\/p><h1><em>Frequently Asked Questions<\/em><\/h1><p><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1440 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.nicholls.edu\/mosaic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2025\/11\/6-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nicholls.edu\/mosaic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2025\/11\/6-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nicholls.edu\/mosaic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2025\/11\/6-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nicholls.edu\/mosaic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2025\/11\/6-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.nicholls.edu\/mosaic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2025\/11\/6-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nicholls.edu\/mosaic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/88\/2025\/11\/6.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px;
