Craccum is the weekly magazine produced by the Auckland University Students' Association of the University Of Auckland , New Zealand . The name originated from the scrambled Acronym of "'''A'''uckland '''U'''niversity '''C'''ollege '''M'''en's '''C'''ommon '''R'''oom '''C'''ircular". Craccum is the largest student magazine in New Zealand, with a weekly distribution of 10,000 copies. It is anomalous as a publication due to the fact of it having annual student elections for the position of editor. The magazine is infamous for its deliberate attempts at being controversial, with previous editors choosing to publish stories on "Suicide and how to do it", as well as recipes for illegal drugs. It is also a popular proving ground for New Zealand mainstream media, with most of its alumni moving on to publications such as ''The Listener'' , ''The New Zealand Herald'' and ''Metro'' magazine. In more recent years Craccum has become a haven for fringe stories, reporting and discussing topics outside the eye of most mainstream media, and outside the scope of politically correct discourse. ''Craccum'' is a member of the Aotearoa Student Press Association (ASPA). Ryan Sproull is the elected editor for 2006. Former editors of Craccum include -
