Student Edits, Publishes Own Science Fiction < Continued from fias/e six) Fantasy Society. The club sponsored the first few issues of the magazine but it is now inactive. At one time the ac tive membership was over 40 per sons, consisting of people from 16 to 60 and ranging from pro fessors to ditch-diggers. "That was the reason the club degenerated," Wright said. "It was hard to find a meeting time that fitted the working schedule of all the different occupations. I may reorganize the club if the demand i warrants, but the new one would be a campus club only.” Students I)o Work Much of the work that went into the February issue was done by students. Henry Lewis, a graduate in architecture and allied arts is 'I Campus Interviews on Cigarette Tests No. 32...THE YAK lie’s far too sophisticated to be amused by slap-stick comedy! From the minute the curtain went up, he knew that you just can’t judge cigarette mildness by one fast puff or a single, swift sniff. Those capers may fool a frosh — but he’s been around and he knows! From coast-to-coast, millions of smokers agree: There’s but one true test of cigarette mildness! It’s the sensible test . . . the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try Camels as your steady smoke, on a day-after-day, pack-after-pack basis. No snap judgments! Once you’ve tried Camels for 30 days in your “T-Zone” (T for Throat, T for Taste), you’ll see why . . . A After al§ the Mildness Tests... Camel feseb di At brands bybifHons the featured artist. Two drawing* of his are presented as u preview to a proposed science fantasy art magazine, called Art Concept, also published and edited by Wright. Donna Covalt. a junior In archi tecture and allied arts, did the sketch illustrating a story called Two Wuys From Sunday. Gerald Pearce, senior in history, reviewed a publication culled Space Medi cine, Bryce Decker, sophomore In chemistry, helped set type. Putting out the magazine takes about six months. Even with the Linotype, many of the pages arc still hand set. As there isn't too much type In any one style, the magazine Is printed a few pages at a time and then the type for those pages re-distributed. This means that the number of copies is limited by the number of pages printed in the first run. Sells for 10 Cents The February issue will be only about 500 copies, Wright reporter : Some of the copies are on sale at i the Co-op for ten cents each. Us- i ually all of the copies are sent to , subscribers and none arc left for distribution through stores. "Selling through the Co-op is an experiment," Wright said. "There won't be many copies. 100 at the most. I want to find out if students are interested in the subject." Eusifanso contains a feature story concerning events in time and a grey rug. The rest of the magazine is reviews, poetry, arti cles and assorted editorial com ments. Almost the entire magazine in i printed in color. The sketch dlus stratmg the time story is colored > in shades of green, as is the body ; typo of the story. A few pages arc in the conventional black and i white, but most type is printed in colors from green to purple. Kosco Wright. 5th year educa I tion student, has been in the ama- : teur publishing business since his high school days. His first publica- , tion was in the science fantasy field and was hexographed, a pro- 1 cess similar to mimeographing. ! Since then, he's always published i Navy. This was done by proxy \ through a friend.* Art Work Trained A professional science fantasy1 magazine, Imagination, said about Eusifanso in a recent issue that it, "Always runs to good art work." ; Wright has been interested in the arts aspects of science fantasy for a long time. He hopes to demon strate the possibilities of the field in his new magazine which will be devoted to art. Art Concept, me proposed mag- > azine, will contain many paintings, ; drawings and sketches along with \ commentaries und some poetry. The first issue will be out some time in July. Wright hopes to get contributions from many of the students in art and said it would give them a chance to have their work recognized. "I plan to send copies to the editors of professional magazines," he said. “From the comments I’ve received on Eusifanso, I know they look at what I send them. Work done by University artists will be noticed. And if the editor’s like it, it might mean a job." Landlord Helps Although Wright is the owner of most of the equipment and the editor and publisher, his landlord Ed Zimmerman and Vern McCain, a professional writer, are virtual partners. Besides helping set type and print the magazine, they have contributed to the purchase of much of the type and- presses. Zimmerman, an avid science fan tasy fan, distinguishes between science fiction and fantasy. "Sci ence fiction has to keep within the realm of facts." he said. "The ideas can be extensions into situations other than tho*e we know, but they must be based on fact. Fan tasy relies only on the imagina tion.” Science fantasy appeals to many classes, Wright said. “Educated people like it as much, or perhaps more, than the unschooled.” Military Ball.
