The goals of West Side Story and Trojan Epic are to inform, entertain and educate its readers; to provide a forum for the Iowa City community to express attitudes and opinions; to provide an educational opportunity for both the students who produce West Side Story and Trojan Epic and those who read it; and to provide a medium for commercial messages.
