''Opus'' is a student newspaper published at the University of Newcastle, Australia by the Newcastle University Students' Association (NUSA). ''Opus'' was founded in 1954 by then economics lecturer Cyril Renwick, at what was then the Newcastle University College of the University of New South Wales, in the Newcastle suburb of Callaghan. Renwick proposed a student journal to promote student unity and expression. Teaming up with his secretary's husband, George Kirkby, the first edition of Opus was a four-page broadsheet newspaper replete with the refinement and formality of 1950s journalism.〔Perrin, M. 2008, Opus and its History, ''Opus'', No. 1 2008, pp. 6-7>〕 The format and style of ''Opus'' has changed many times throughout its history. The 1970s the publications name was briefly changed to ''The Stockton Ferry''. In a 1998 interview, the late emeritus Professor Godfrey Tanner explained that
A special edition of the magazine, released in 2002, and edited by BA graduate Matthew Glenn Ward commemorated the life of Godfrey Tanner, a prominent classics professor at the university who had died that year. ''Opus'' takes its name from the former Newcastle City motto, ''finis coronat opus'' which is Latin for "completion crowns the work". The implementation of voluntary student unionism by the Howard government in 2006 had a significant impact on the viability of student newspapers across Australia, compulsory student union membership fees having been the major source of income for most. ''Opus'' has been able to continue publishing despite the new law. ''Opus'' is edited by media officers elected by NUSA members to a one-year term. Opus is published 8 times in a calendar year as per the Newcastle University Students' Association's constitution. == References == * (State Library of New South Wales record ) * (Newcastle University Students' Association ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Opus (University of Newcastle magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
