Administrative history
The Gauntlet is published by the Gauntlet Publications Society of the Students' Union as a weekly campus newspaper. The paper's summer school edition has been published under various names, beginning with The Hot Glove (in reference to the "summer Gauntlet)" in 1964 and The Wellsian Boot in 1968 in reference to Bruce Wells, Acting Dean of Men and Director of MacEwan Hall from 1966-1968. The summer edition was renamed Summer Affairs in 1969. The Gaillardia, a literary magazine of poetry, essays, short stories and drawings was published separately and as a Gauntlet supplement beginning in 1960. The Shaft was the yearly Gauntlet satirical newspaper, often published on April Fool's Day. Earlier editions of the students' newspaper were the Cal-var and Cal-vette and the Medium, a second campus paper published in 1969. The Medium was fully recognized by the Students' Union but was not funded by them. The paper states its objectives are to present a realistic reflection of the campus community and to serve as a means of communication between faculty, staff and administration. The Medium appears to have been started as a backlash against the more radical elements on campus.
Custodial history
The Gauntlet is collected weekly by archives staff. Custodial history of Gaillardia copies is unknown.
