Lights were burning !«(.<• in the
I basement and garage of HH E.
j 12th ave. recently. The final touch
es were being put on Kusifanso, an
amateur science fantasy magazine
published and edited by a Univer
sity student, Kosco Wright.
The digest sized magazine is the
only one in the United States that
is printed on a letter press owned
by the publishers. Other amateur
j magazines are mimeographed, hex
! ographed or printed by a commcr
| cial shop.
The equipment used for the pub
| lication of Eusifaneo is also used
for commercial printing. This pat-i^
of the organization is called the
Little Press. It has printed pam
phlets for the SU, posters for the
Browsing room lecture series, the
| Heart Hop tickets for '51, a pam
i phlet Panhellenic sent to entering
i freshman girls last year and many
things for campus groups.
Published at Loss
“Most of the money I get from
the Little Press goes right back
inLo the business,'1 Wright said.
“Even Eusifanso is published at a
loss. Without the investment in
type and printing presses, the
magazine cost $(>5 for the Febru
ary is.slk'..--A printed iOO .copies
which sell for a dime each.” ' ,
The Little Press organization
owns mpre equipment than many
small commercial printing shops.
In the basement of the large house
on 12th ave. are the four presses:
a power platen, two hand-lever
platens, and a proof press. They
now own 35 different type faces,
valued at $500 and have five more
ordered. When they come, the typo
value will be around $000.
In the garage is the prize of the
outfit. A model 15 Linotype ma
chine was purchased from the
Creswell New Era last summer.
The 15 is the smallest Lino made
and this machine is fairly old, but
it saves a lot of time in type set
ting and distributing, Wright said.
Eusifanso got is name from the
first syllables of the name of the
original science club in Eugene.
The club was organized by Wright,
in his sophomore year in 1919 ami
was called the Eugene Scienco
