From the Passenger Lounge SOUTHERN STAR Page 39 of a 120 page forestry textbook, I know just want you fellows are against. But I got boiled in lard for every typographical error. Have you boys found out yet the importance of having a good dummy copy of the entire mag before doing any stencil cutting, with spaces carefully figured out for drawings? No doubt -- but a couple of the pages don't show it. All in all, it was above average for a fan mag, and let's hope we don't have to wait so long for the third issue. -- OLIVER SAARI #*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# Contents page: 9.2 The Munsey Panorama: 9.0 ERB: 8.2 Passenger List (Fred Fischer): 8.0 Spacewar: 7.9 Telecaster: 7.6 Inter. Trading Post: 7.5 Editorial: 7.4 Starport: 7.2 Front Cover: 7.0 Morley's News: 6.8 Black Magic: 6.6 Article by Milty: 6.4 Poetry: 6.1 Filler by Panurge: 6.1 Yungvi Is Not A Louse: 6.0 Rear Cover: 4.0 Interior Ill. by Fischer: 3.5 Total: 9|118.3 Issue as a whole: 6.6 Some of these ratings are not strictly accurate, due to the fact that several people rated items that others neglected. In addition there were not a sufficient number of ratings for a really accurate poll of reader opinion. To the nine who were good enuf to send in ratings this time, our heartiest thanks. We would appreciate it if everyone who writes this time will rate the issue by the Spaceways system. A letter is not necessary, altho always welcome; a postal will do nicely. Correction: on the last page of the Passenger List you are exhorted to come to the "Dixiecon". Well it's a swell idea, but the date is '43 -- not '42. See you again next issue -- and don't forget those ratings! :::*:::*:::*:::*:::*:::*:::*:::*:::* Then, pal, the thing for you is a magazine devoted exclusively to the best fan art, by the best fan artists, reproduced in four colors on one side of the paper. Lovely dream, is it not? Well, just to make the dream more impossible of fulfillment, wouldn't it be swell to have a magnificent Tom Wright on 36 lb bond in blue ink, with a picture that it would seem utterly impossible to stencil. You drooling? Good! To complete the list we need a cover design by Hunt, a picture by Hunt, and others pics by such artists as Jones, Jenkinson, Fortier, Nealson, deLaire, damon knight, Mary Evelyn Rogers, Jack Fields, and Phil Bronson. And to top it all off a revealing article advancing by Ackerman advancing the latest figures on nudes in fan magazines. Profusely illustrated! There should also be an autobiography of an outstanding fan artist each issue too, but of course all this is just a pipedream. How could you expect to find all this for only a dime; three for a quarter? The question is not purely rhetorical. You can find all this in the latest issue of --- F A N A R T the unique magazine devoted to fan art work and published by Harry Jenkins, Jr. at 2409 Santee Ave. in Columbia, South Carolina.
