MICHIFEN MEET Here we go again! I'll bet you thought his Mutant was never coming out! What an agonizing quarter-year the last three months have been. I never thought it took so much time and energy to organize fan clubs. Running back and forth over the 100 miles between Farmington and Saginaw, trying to balance the budget (Ha, that's a joke. These birds thing money spews from rayguns. They all know how to spend it, but when it comes to shelling out -- I say again, Ha!) and building up the membership -- all in all, its a rugged deal. To get down to business, I will now explain the whys and wherefors of the Director of Publications, that's me. When we organized the MSFS back in February, we decided to have six officers, i.e., President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Mutant Editor, and Assistant Editor -- but when Art Rapp was elected Secretary, he explained that with Spacewarp, school and work, he had little time for MSFS duties. I saw a mad gleam light President Singer's eyes. I tiptoed cautiously toward the door, but too late! There was a mad scramble, and seven pairs of clammy hands clutched my throat. Eyes peered at me, and fingers pointed. You, they all said. Yes, said Singer, giving that vicious cackle for which he is so well known, you shall do the dirty work, Young. Someone whispered softly, but he's only the Treasurer -- we can't force him to do Secretarial work. We'll fix that. said Singer, we'll give him an ego-boosing title and then pile the work on. Singer said to me, George old boy, old pal, chum, buddy buddy, we have decided your talents are wasted as a simple treasurer -- you are now Director of Publications! So here am I, dejectedly pushing a pen (I have no typer) across a page. I have to take charge of all funds, keep books, welcome new members, provide Groover with money to get the Mutant out, ad infinitus, and report all such things through this column. Therefore -- Treasurer's Report for February-April 1948: INCOME Feb. Registration fees $4.00 " Dues 1.05 Mar. Registration fees 5.00 " Dues 2.70 " Auction of book .25 " Apr.
