SWIL NEWS 	Volume 6, Number 12 	December n<10, 1983

If all is as it should be. this will be the last one of these things that I will be
doing. From now on the Dynamic Duo of Shoshanna and Jed will be taking over this duty 
among others. Last time Matts Wall and Katinsky, Shoshanna, Jed, Esther, Sherry, 
Ben Fulves, Dave Bedell, and I were present. Scott Schwartz put in a special guest 
cameo appearance. 

Special thanks continually go to Sherry who thought up the idea of the SWIL.NOTICES
file. That makes these SWIL NEWSes a lot easier for all of us. And so here are the 
newer parts of that plus some other comments. 

		********** SWIL NOTICES ************** 
		______________________________________

I. Calendar of events 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

For conventions see a separate section in SWIL.NOTICES. 
Dec. 10 - SWAPA Dippy moves due for those who care. 
Dec. 17 - SWAPA Collation at Brookline.

II. Who to Consult for What 	(complete names in SWILLIST file)

Re: Money >Jed is treasurer. Matt Wall seems to be willing to take over this.

IV. The SWIL Publication (in olden days _The_Unicorn_Star_)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

_The_Unicorn_Star_ has now been retitled _Bug-Eyed_Magazine_, a. k. a. _BEM_. Please 
put any submissions into the subufd BEM. A notice should have been put into the 
Weekly News asking for submissions; more media blitz will probably be needed. 
Those who volunteered some responsibility with this are Jed, Shoshanna, Ben Fulves,
Irene, and Stefan.

V. T-Shirt 
~~~~~~~~~~ 

We need to know just who wants the t-shirt. Please go into the new file named 
"T.SHIRT" and put your name in there. Also your size. It should be black design on red

5. Shoshanna Green 
6. Barbara Weene 
7. Heather Whipple 
8. Jon Rapkin 		Medium 
9. Matt Katinsky 
10. Esther Oey 
11. Sherry Hartenstine 

A copy of the design should be on the SWIL board. Jed mentioned that he didn't like 
the placement of the "SWAPA". It was intended to look the way you might think. From 
out of SWIL came SWAPA. Any other comments on this matter should be brought up. Dave 
is willing to change the positioning. 

VI. Co-sponsored Movie 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

We have decided to offer to movie committee the movies _The_Day_the_Earth_Stood_
_Still_ and _A1ien_ for possible cosponsoring. It's up to them now. It appears that 
we were too slow. Oh, well. We will have to find out from Budget Committee about what to do with the money. 

VIII. Et cetera 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Cornell library has a subscription to LOCUS, "the newspaper of the science fiction
field" and an eight-time Hugo winner for Best Fanzine. I recommend it highly. Lots of
publishing info, gossip, convention reports, updates on ongoing sf activities, etc.
-SG 
There are issues there from the beginning on the year onward. NAO 

For those who have strong stomachs only: 
The contact sheets still exist for the pictures taken during the Oktoberfest 
filksing. Yes, in a matter of seconds you can see how foolish people can look. 

ONWARD>>>>> Enjoy yourselves.
