joining our mailing list, submissions, contact, and navigating the jcr!
to contribute..
the gargoyle holds biweekly production nights (roughly) every other wednesday (during the fall/winter semesters), where our editors compile the paper with the help of contributors and staff. a call for submissions is sent out with the week’s theme around two weeks prior to production night.
to ensure a spot in one of our sections, please send a rough draft or brief ‘proposal’ to us via email no later than the monday indicated in the call for submissions at 11:59 pm. an editor will get back to you before the end of the day. if you choose to simply submit a proposal on the monday, you must follow up with a draft by wednesday that week at 11:59 pm. more info can be found below
you don’t need to apply to write, draw, or work for us! just submit or show up to our prod nights – there are plenty of ways to contribute!
give us your deets and we’ll add you to our mailing list, where you can find out when production night is and what that week’s theme is.
you can get in touch with us…
1. via discord: feel free to join our server and message in any of the dedicated channels to ask a general question or get in contact with a specific section editor.
2. via email: any and all inquiries can be directed to our email, ucgargoyle@gmail.com.
3. by coming to production nights! production nights occur on a biweekly basis in UC’s JCR (Junior Common Room). you can find this year’s production schedule by clicking the schedule tab above. see below for a map of the JCR, circled in red, in reference to UC.
to enter the JCR, use the ‘H’ door accessible from sir dans quad or the ‘H’ door accessible from the UC quad, indicated here by the red arrows.
NOTE: as of january 2023, the jcr can once again be accessed from the sir dans quad h door entrance adjacent to bissell house as well as the h door adjacent to the uc quad.

to exit the jcr/uc after 9 pm…
1. first, exit the jcr room and into the uc quad
2. you should see the following (fig. 1). go all the way down but do not go through the door at the end (it will be locked). instead, turn to the right when you get there.
3. now you should be faced with this door (fig. 2). the big arched doors are likely locked but the smaller rectangular door marked “EXIT” shouldn’t be. turn the circular latch indicated in fig. 2 to open the door and enter sir dans quad (fig. 3)
4. fig. 4 depicts the arched doors you just exited in step 3, and located right across the quad is the archway leading to st. george street (fig. 5). go through the archway and you’re home free.
congrats, you are no longer doomed to wander the halls of the UC building for eternity!
