Encounter alternately describes itself as the KSC Student Magazine and an underground newspaper. Content is generally less radical than earlier papers like The Scorpion, but Encounter still prints stories the editors believed wouldn't be welcome in official publications like the Antelope. In their own words:
Basically, the Encounter is a student news magazine, differing in its approach to news coverage from that of the college newspaper. The Antelope, functions specifically as voice of the campus, whereas the magazine can and does fill the void of providing an in-depth approach to events · and reaches out for news beyond the confines of campus. Both publications feature articles and artwork by students in and outside of the journalism field.
Physical copies of Encounter can be viewed in UNK Archives & Special Collections . The Archives holdings cover December 1977 to November 1980, although the collection is incomplete.
