SWIL NEWS 	Volume 6, Number 9 	November n<5, 1983 

Last time we had a good turnout and more people are added to the SWILLIST. Those 
who were present were the Bens Felzer and Fulves, the Scotts Moore, Schwartz, and 
Jay; Jed, Heather (now with full privileges), Gavin, Alison, Jack, Irene, Vinny 
Murrell, Ed, Esther, Mana Lohatepanont, Gwen, Ellens Perry and Sasse, Jim Crowell, 
and myself. I realized that Ellen and Jim were two of those whom I did not know 
the real names of last time so they are in reality up for full privileges next 
time. (Hooray for them!!!! says Barbara Weene - consultant on duty) 

Hello fellow-SWILers...Barbara speaking (typing?). Anyway...I'll be driving into
(and out of) Philcon in a couple of weeks and I'm looking for passengers...anybody
interested? I've got four (IV) spaces up for grabs, but that may actually be read 
as three (III) instead... depends on the varying whims of my sister. En tout case, 
let me know if you're interested in riding with me. Danke. 

Meanwhile, I called Mike Kane and he said he is definitely going to Philcon. He is
willing along with Dave S-G to provide some crash space at Secane for people if 
they want (i. e. to and from Philcon that far). Think about it. Preregistration 
exists no more at this date so all further people who want to go will have to pay 
$14 at the door. 

Alison, please bring the t-shirt designs so that we can decide what we are going to
do. We still need some words on it. We could just have "SWIL" or even add 
"Swarthmore College" to that. If we also want a saying we have so far had a number 
of suggestions including "We have ways of making you SWIL", "All's SWIL that ends 
SWIL", "The SWILmarillion", "I think therefore I SWIL, I SWIL therefore I am" 
(either half or both of that one), and "In the SWIL of the night". On the topic of 
sayings, Scott Schwartz mentioned one which you should see somewhere on this page. 
You know who to blame. 

I heard that the Halloween Party was a real success. Thanks a lot Sherry. Jed is
arranging to talk to the Oktoberfest treasurer to see if we can get money to pay 
more of you back and get the pizza to the winning group. 

I think that the time is approaching for those who want to manage 
_The_Unicorn_Star_ to start something. The "Media blitz" as Stefan phrased it 
should begin. We can request to have some kind of notice be put into the Weekly 
News from now until whenever.  People start thinking of something that might draw 
in people. 

And now it's time for SWIL.NOTICES:

    Please collect posters so we can use them again in the spring. Those which do 
not mention October would be especially good. 

III. Filk Book

From now on start and then add to a FILKS3.RNO. If anyone wants to borrow the
Microfilk Book or the mimeo filks to copy please contact Neil. If you want a copy 
of the volumes of the FILK Book you are welcome to spool them off for yourself. 
These along with index and contents might be especially nice for you at 
conventions. 

IMPORTANT NEWS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

	Mary Stewart has a NEW BOOK! 
	It's The Wicked Day. and is all about Mordred. Anyone with $15 to spare 
	please buy the book IMMEDIATELY and lend it to me please. 

Not-So-Important News: I am now receiving my F&SF magazine subscription and I 
expect Analog any day, if anyone would like to borrow either just ask. -AK

The Book of the New Sun is now completely in paperback. Also FOUNDATION'S EDGE is 
in paperback now as is Spider Robinson's excellent book MINDKILLER. There is a book
review for SUPERLUMINAL, Vonda N. McIntyre's new book, on the SWIL board. NAO. 
(There is another New Sun book on its way out, as well. It's not a direct
continuation oP the first series; I think it takes place after the coming of the
New Sun. I don't know when it will be out, but Wolfe promises that it will appear 
in his afterword to Citadel of the Autarch. SG) 

THE BOOKLIST PROGRAM IS WORKING. The list contains my books and books from a list 
that Jed made earlier (I managed to erase a short list of Shoshanna's books). It's 
fun and easy to use--just type "BOOKS" for full instruction. Even if you don't 
want to enter your whole booklist, try it out and enter a few at a time. --Dave B.
