EDITORIAL For want of anything better to fill this page with, I'll do a bit of talking about all sorts of things. First off, I'd like to thank those of you who have entered subscriptions. I hope that this issue does not disappoint you. The cover is not what I had hoped for. But I was unable to do much searching for talent due to a heavy exam schedual, just completed yesterday. If YOU want to take a fling at drawing, send in your work. I need a black and white ink line drawing, with space for the name of the mag, and the number. Artist gets two free copies of SPARX plus as many copies of the litho as he wants; within reason. Deadline for the next cover will be April 15. I also need literary material of all sorts for the next issue. Will accept all sorts of stuff--fiction, non-fiction; humor, serious; critical, praising; in short, anything that can be mailed. Authors get their name in the mag, over their stories, plus two free copies of SPARX. That article that was missing from the last issue is still missing. As Andy Lyon told you it is the talk that Phillip Kiass,alias William Teno, delivered at the Philcon. I'm still trying to get it. But at present, I am informed, Mr. Klass is at sea. So it is a bit hard to get ahold of him. But I have my representatives at work, and hope to have it in the next issue. Editorial musing...I wonder if the Philcon Memory Book will be out in time for the [Torcon?]? I am typing this page, and certain other pages on a new (to me) type of stencil called the "Supreme Crystal Stencil." They have a built-in cellophane sheet over the stencil. It seems to make for better typed work. You cannot letter through it, tho. If you use them you do not need to clean the type twice, as with conventional stencils. Type stays clean all the way through the proceeding. They cost $3.75 per quire, but if they work out OK on the machine I'll feel that they are worth the extra money. Since it seems to be the fashion to state your position in the current disturbances in re rap. So here goes. I believe that the Lemurian stories, and the whole furor is a publicity stunt. I feel that fandon ought to do what it can to expose the hoax. I believe that the new column is an attempt to get us to endorse the hoax. I will urge all my friends to have nothing to do with the column. I will no send in my mags for review. I will urge FAPA and SAPS not to send in the mailings. In short, I will have nothing to do with rap and Graham/Phillips. But I will not ostracize any fan who feels otherwise. I think it is a personal matter. If some one wishes to send in his own fanzine for review, that's OK with me. But I ask that he not send in mine. In re [illegible] (( more on page 14)) 2
