Well, somebody does. You've just given SF COMMENTARY its third Hugo nomination. And after everybody thought it was dead and buried. Thanks, you people with long mem­ ories. But SF COMMENTARY is alive and well again in 1975. It is entering its sixth year as The Australian Magazine about World Science Fiction. Of course, SFC won't resume its normal production schedule until after AUSSI ECON. First things first.

About six years ago I started hearing about this Convention. A t the time it was a flickering gleam in a few eyes — and now it is reality. The Convention is Australian, the organisers come from all over the continent, and the members from much wider afield. This must be the first of the 33 World Science Fiction Conventions where the attendees are outnumbered by supporting members, largely in other countries. Let us acknowledge that the Convention would not have been possible with­ out the overwhelming support of fans overseas — and we are pleased to welcome the foreign attendees to this first Worldcon outside North America and Western Europe. Recent North American Worldcons have grown so large that they show signs of becoming self-defeating. Various solutions are proposed, such as limiting attendance to those registered in advance — but the sheer interest in science fiction surely deserves an open forum once a year, when there are so many regional and local conventions of a more intimate kind. Here in Australia, with only two or three conventions of any size annually, the interest and enthusiasm can by gauged by the attendance at AUSSIECON. I hope some of it can be harnessed to create more and better local conventions in the future. We would like to place on record our appreciation of the assistance granted by the Australian Council. The Council's Literature Board made it possible for Ursula Le Guin to be here as our Guest of Honour, and to lead the Science Fiction Writer's Workshop earlier this month. The Film, Radio and Television Board has enabled us to arrange the import of science fiction films otherwise unavailable in Australia.

AUSSI ECON would not have been possible without the freely given support of many people. In the past we have attempted to list the people who have in some way helped, but to do this adequately now would take more pages of this book than we have available. So, to all those who supported us in both the early days of the bid and through the realisation of our dreams, to all who helped with our successful bid at TORCON, to our agents and supporters around the world, to those who have and will help in the running of the convention, and lastly to our most important asset, our members, we offer our special thanks. Have a good convention!

A special fund was set up to raise money to send well known science fiction fan and author Wilson (Bob) Tucker to Aussiecon. As with TAFF and DUFF, money for this fund was subscribed by fans both as cash and as material donated for auction. The short time that this fund took to reach the target is a tribute to Bob's popularity, and we are glad that he will be with us here at AUSSIECON.

ace books A Division of Charter Communications Inc. The Down Under Fan Fund, DUFF, was started in 1972. The aim of this fund is to encourage closer ties between Australian and North American fandom by bringing fans across the Pacific. DUFF was based on the Trans-Atlantic Fan Fund, TAFF, which since 1955 has provided funds to enable well known European and North American fans to travel to major conventions across the Atlantic.

Like TAFF, DUFF exists solely through the generosity of fans. Candidates in each DUFF "race” are voted on by interested fans all over the world, and each vote is accom­ panied by a donation of several dollars, at least. These votes and the continuing interest of fans make DUFF possible.

The 1972 winner was Lesleigh Luttrell. She attended the Australian SF Convention in Sydney, and travelled south to Melbourne and Adelaide fannish hospitality before returning to the U.S.A.

In 1974, aussie fan Leigh Edmonds was the DUFF winner. Leigh travelled to Discon II, the world convention held in Washington, D.C., and was able to sample the famed American fannish hospitality on his trip home.

In 1975, the competition was again to bring a fan to Australia to attend this convention. The winner was Rusty Hevelin, who will doubtless give you details of DUFF at the convention if you can catch him when not talking to his many friends.

This area is entirely devoted to AUSSIECON for the duration of the Convention. 2. The Melbourne Room, down the corridor to the left at the top of the stairs, is used for the Publishers' Display. The main programme occurs in the Ballroom. The Foyer and the Epsilon Room (much of the time) are available for registration and notice boards, socialising and chat, so as not to disturb the enjoy­ ment of the programme items. Certain programme items of more limited interest may take place in the Epsilon Room, or the State Suite on the 15th. floor. 3. The CQ Room, known to the hotel as the Alpha Room, is where you go with your problems. There will always be a committee person in attendance, and if you want a display space, a room share, or to locate someone, help is at hand. 4. The Art Show can only be entered by passing a guard, who is there for the protection of our exhibitors and their work. We ask that no-one eat, drink or smoke in the Art Show Room. Don't let this deter you — there could be something you can­ not live without there — and the Auction will be held there on Sunday. 5. The film programme, which has been assisted by the Film Radio & Television Board of the Australia Council, is the subject of a separate leaflet. Some films will be shown in the Ballroom after the end of the day's main programme, while daytime screenings take place at the Playbox Cinema, 55 Exhibition Street. This is about one block north, across Collins Street. 6. A cash bar will be set up much of the time in the Foyer. Apart from the Banquet on Saturday, for which $8 tickets may be bought until a time to be announced on Saturday morning, there are no meals available available in the Mezzanine Floor. The Hotel is in process of setting up a new Coffee Shop on the Lobby level, (Exhibition St.) next to the Club Grill, but at the time of writing the Coolibah Room on the Plaza (Bourke St.) level serves as a Coffee Shop as well as fully-licensed restaurant. 7. The other Plaza levels eateries include the Stable Bar (good cheap counter lunch and tea among racing memorabilia) and the Tavern (set lunch on weekdays). The hotel bottle (liquor) shop also sells soft drinks on this level. For details of opening times, etc, see the separate leaflet. 8. We want you to have a good time, and while we hope there will be no problems, we ask for your understanding with any that may arise.

Early in August, eighteen unpublished science fiction writers attended a residential science fiction writers' workshop led by AUSSIECON Guest of Honour, Ursula Le Guin. The writers attending the workshop were selected by Ms Le Guin after submitting stories for her consideration. Hopefully, they will be able to tell us at the Convention how they devel­ oped these and other stories during their week in the Dandenong Ranges. The workshop was organised in conjunction with the AUSSIE- CON by Bruce Gillespie. We are very grateful to the Literature Board of the Australia Council for their assistance both with the workshop and in bringing Ursula Le Guin to Australia. It is likely that other workshops will be held. For details see Bruce Gillespie at the Convention or write to him at the AUSSIECON address. wjcpfm The programme given here will be subject to later revision after the closing date for this book. A detailed programme will be available at the Convention, and changes will be announced there. Details of items not on the floor programme will also be available at the convention.

AUSSI ECON is the Thirty-third World Science Fiction Convention. This con­ vention is the first Worldcon to be held in the southern hemisphere and only the fourth to be held outside North America. The information below on previous Worldcons has been revised based on information supplied by Bob Tucker, Forry Ackerman and Fred Patten. Fred is writing a Worldcon History for Mid American which will give considerably more detail than possible here. In this list GoH has been used as an abbreviation for Guest of Honour. The attendances listed are approximate, and are based on the number of fans registered as attending, current newszine reports and individual records kept by fans. Where possible an estimate of total attendance (including those not registered) has been used. No attempt has been made to show changes occuring before the convention to the listed positions. The Science Fiction Achievement Awards, for Hugos, were first awarded in 1953 and have been awarded at each Worldcon since 1955. Other awards (such as the John Campbell Award) added in recent years and voted by the convention membership have also been shown.

"I4fe stay cool, calm and collect it!"

We invite you to insure against accidental accidents at this Worldcon with the insurance Co that protects its clients from all those ordinary, everyday little accidents that can occur at any Convention. Falling safes, exploding bombs, crocodile pits, pirhana pools, and a knife in the back, accidents that can happen to any innocent and uninsured convention attendee. So be positive and avoid ail those nasty, expensive hospital bills: take out a policy with the FAFI Co P/L. Statistics prove that during the last three Australian SF Conventions 73% of those attending didn't take out a policy and they all got hit with falling safes, fell into crocodile pits and pirhana pools, were shredded by exploding bombs, and had knives lodged in their backs. Over 60% of these poor people had all five of these accidents happen to them, simultaneously. Join the ranks of those safe, insured and live people at this Worldcon, take out a FAFI policy before it's too late. AGENTS: Mr Bill "K iller" Wright and Mr Peter "Mangier" Kemp or see Anti-fan behind the foyer potplants after hours.

51 Just Published... THE GREGG PR E SS SCIENCE FICTION SERIES New Editions of 20 Classic Works Science fiction is now a basic category in most public and academic library collections, but as most science fiction has only been published in paperback editions, many collections of science fiction are not as exlen sive or representative as librarians would like them to be. To help libraries, fans and scholars alike build their collections. Gregg Press has just published quality clothbound editions of 20 classic works of science fiction. Each volume contains not only a complete photo graphic facsimile of the original edition, but also new introductory material written especially for the Gregg Press edition by a noted science fiction writer, collector or scholar In addition, many titles include reprints of contemporary reviews, movie stills and other useful material. The 20 classic works selected for the Gregg Press Science Fiction Series illustrate both the history and diversity of science fiction in the 19th and 20th centuries, lire titles range from the earliest works of Amer lean science fiction to contemporary masterpieces and two of the titles appear for the first time in American clothbound editions. The 20 volumes are listed below. All are available for immediate shipment

RIO L ENrEwastS GPO Box 2510, Sydney. 2001 Phone 212-1419 : cpusTPfluflri fflnzints Fanzines (a neat little abbreviation for "fan magazines") are training grounds for aspiring science fiction writers and editors, or sometimes just a convenient way in which members of our world-spanning sub culture keep in touch. Australian fanzines have unique features as a result of the somewhat awesome intellectual and literary proclivities of the editors. (They use big words, too!) The following list indicates a few Australian fanzines that might interest you. The list can't be complete, and does not pretend to be. As editors search for the ferfect fanzine, titles, format and contents all change. Ask at the convention for the latest details, or write to the editors at the addresses given. SF Commentary: Editor Bruce R. Gillespie, SA3.00 or SUS5.00 P.O. Box 5195AA for five issues Melbourne 3001 This is, in my opinion, the world's leading fanzine devoted to the serious discussion of science fiction. Three times nominated for the Hugo award, including nomination this year. Recent featured writers include George Turner and Peter Nicholls. Highly recommended. Osiris: Editors Dennis and Del Stocks, SA3.00 P.O. Box 235, for ten issues Albion, 4010 A sort of fan oriented "Scientific American". Formerly magazine of the Brisbane SF Association but now no connection. Winner of the 1974 Australian Ditmar Award. Higly recommended. Enigma: Editor Van I kin, Box 249 Old Union Sydney University 2006 Journal of the Sydney University SF Association. Quarterly, fifty percent fiction of a fair standard, the rest reviews, etc. Recommended for the quality of the artwork. Gegenschein: Editor Eric Lindsay, 35 cents per copy. 6 Hillcrest Avenue, Faulconbridge, 2776 Eric experiments. Wide variations in size, layout and quality. Some issues appear to lack cohesion, others are fantastic. Recommended. Philosophical Gas: Editor John Bangsund, Scythrop P.O. Box 357 The New Millenial Harbinger Kingston, A.C.T. 2604 First Draft Layout superb, artwork (especially his own) brilliant and appropriate. Punster extraordinary, John has a flair for whimsical literacy. He has been 87 nominated for several fanzine Hugos and has been nominated as Best Fan Writer at this convention. To receive Bangsund fanzines, you need to send both money and comment, to keep John interested. Highly recommended. Chao: Editor John Alderson, 40 cents per copy. P.O. Box 72, Maryborough 3465 John writes from his farm in Havelock, and it might be this geographical isolation that has given him an odd vision of reality which comes across in his writing and the layout of his fanzine. The most interesting correspondence section in fandom. Very highly recommended. The Eye: Editor Jan Noble, 50 cents per issue. 9 Avenue Road, Glebe, 2037 Journal of the Sydney University Tolkien Society. Appears two or three times each year. A must of those of us who have worn out several copies of Lord of the Rings. Ark: Editors: Ron and Sue Clarke, 75 cents each or Simon 32 Spurwood Road, three for $2.00. The Marriage Warrimoo, 2775 Features the activities and thoughts of the Clarkes since their marriage and the activities of Sydney fans. Commentaries and reviews by such contributors as John Alderson and Dennis Stocks. Interesting running history of early Australian fandom. These fanzines have character — recommended. The Forerunner: Editor Shayne McCormack, 49 Orchard Rd., Bass Hill, 2197 Journal of the Sydney Science Fiction Foundation. Membership $3.50 per year. Rataplan: Editor Leigh Edmonds, $A1.60 or $US2.00. P.O. Box 74, for four issues. Balaclava, 3183 A "Personalzine" reflecting the interests of Leigh and his correspondents. Read Don Ashby on why marriage should work; Ken Ford on active apathy and other delights! Recommended.

Fanew Sletter: Editor Leigh Edmonds, P.O. Box 74, Balaclava, 3183 A folded fooscap mimeo newszine, required reading for keeping in touch with the doings of fans throughout Australia, especially fanzines, club activities and conventions. Used to be available for a ten cent Australian stamp, but these days just send Leigh $2.00 and he will tell you when your sub. runs out. Even fanzine editors must eat. Boys Own Fanzine: Editors Leigh Edmonds and John Foyster, P.O. Box 74, Balaclava, 3183 What kind of woman reads BOF?

BOYS’ OWN FANZINE

90 Leigh Edmonds/John Foyster PO Box 74, Balaclava, V 3183 The fanzine for all right thinking fans. The editors promise two issues (including Leigh's DUFF report) will be available by the AUSSIECON. Degrazine: Editor Derrick Ashby & Co., Gallimaufry 259 Drummond Street, Two Rotten Teeth Carlton, 3053 The last title refers to the inmates of the editorial establishment, "The Magic Pudding Club" — Derrick and Don Ashby and Ken Ford. This title (you don't get it? Double D. K!) gives you warning of what to expect. As an aside, The Magic Pudding Club throws some of the best fannish parties in Australia. Space Age Newsletter: Editor Space Age Books, 305 Swanston Street, Melbourne, 3000 Fanzine/booklist by Australia's missionary fan enterprise. Available to mail order clients or for a subscription of $2.00 per year. Something Else: Editor Shayne McCormack, 49 Orchard Road, Bass Hill, 2197 Shayne is Australia's most travelled femme-fan. Her trip reports make fascinating reading, and it is worth a couple of dollars to see how the world looks to a liberated Australian female. Yggdrasil: Editor Charles Taylor, c/- Union Buildings Melbourne University, Parkville, 3052 Fanzine of the Melbourne University SF Association. Appears infrequently, but worth waiting for. Cor Serpentis: Editor Adrienne Losen, Mail Room Monash University, Clayton, 3168 Fanzine of the Monash University SF Association. Appears irregularly. A.D.: Editor Paul Stokes, Adelaide University SF Association Union Buildings Adelaide University, Adelaide, 5000 Again, the club fanzine. Nini Hii: Editor Helen Hyde, P.O. Box 544, Civic Centre, A.C.T., 2608 Journal of the Canberra Science Fiction Society. Not seen for some time although the association is flourishing. Anzapa: Official Bloody Editor Innuendo Inc (Deceased) 259 Drummond St., Carlton, 3053 The Australian and New Zealand Amateur Publishing Association sends mailings to members every two months. The mailing contain fanzines published by the members, and each member is bound to publish a minimum contribution each year. The fanzines cover a wide range, as wide as Australian fandom. Members as well as contributing fanzines pay a yearly subscription to the O.B.E. who is responsible for collating the mailings and distributing them. ANZAPA, the first antipodean APA, has a past and present membership list that reads like a fandom roster of fame. Contact the O.B.E. for details.

SUBMERGE YOURSELF IN SOME GOOD FANZINES U-Boat Publications is the name (or the excuse that Leigh Edmonds uses when he produces fanzines or is an Australian Agent for them. The reason for the name U-Boat goes back a fair way and is of little interest so let's not bother too much about it and concentrate of the fanzines: EMU TRACKS OVER AMERICA Being a Report of the 1974 D U F F trip undertaken by Leigh Edmonds (and Valma) and in it you will find out all about what happened to them on their epic trip from Melbourne to the 32nd. World SF Convention in Washington D.C. Illustrated with photos and cartoons this publication w ill cost you about $3.00 (which might seem a bit much but proceeds go to D U FF — see the ad. somewhere else in the programme book). RATAPLAN About once every three months Leigh Edmonds collects together the articles, letters and art that he has picked up in trie previous couple of months and types them up into a fanzine which he calls Rataplan. (The title is what the French are supposed to hear when somebody bangs on a drum, if you're interested). An issue of this fanzine w ill cost you 40c or you can get four for $1.60, which is cheap considering the high standard of the article you are getting. STARLING Hank and Lesleigh Luttrell produce one of the top fanzines, an obvious truth since Starling was nominated for a HUGO tliis year. Need we say more .... I suppose we should. Starling is a fanzine about popular culture, books, music, comics and the like and it is interesting without fail. No details of the Australian Subscription rate at the moment (which is what comes of having to get an ad. in two months before people will see it). Ask at the con and all shall be told. RUNE It is a well known fact that the fans of Minneapolis are crazy and it should come as no surprise that their fanzine is just the same. Fred Haskell is the editor of this crazy fanzine which comes from the Minnesota SF Society and if you think that Rune might be just another club fanzine you have go another thing coming. A years subscription will cost you $2. Chicken feed! FANEW SLETTER For the past year and a half mail boxes throughout the land have been assulted approximately once every fort­ night with this news sheet which tells the owners of the boxes what is going on in stf and fandom in Australia. If you want to know about forthcoming conventions or events, the latest gossip and the latest fanzines Fanew sletter is where you will read it. An issue looks pretty much like much like DAILY CON which will be/has been coming to you from U-Boat for each day of AUSSI ECON, though obviously different kinds of news gets printed. A subcription to FanewSletter of $1.00 will get you eight issues.

U-Boat Publications Leigh Edmonds, PO Box 74 Balaclava, Victoria 3183, Australia. U.S. Agents: Hank and Lesleigh Luttrell, 525 W. Main, Madison, Wl 53703, US of A. (Or if you are lazy and don't feel like using up a 10c stamp — and who could blame you — Leigh Edmonds (a fully owned subsiduary of U-Boat) will be highly visible 99 at AUSSI ECON somewhere, so see him). ONE UPON A TIME in 1967, John Bangsund, truefan publisher of the late lamented Australian Science Fiction Review, wrote frivolously in a letter to Andy Porter, Fan Diemon’s Land in ’84! The idea caught Andy Porter's fancy, and after Bangsund expressed the idea in an earlier year (1975) and a better location (Sydney, because most actifans lived there in the late 1960's), Andy Porter put this ad in the 1968 Laucon program book:

From there, things went rapidly (downhill?) until Leigh and Robin and John and a whole bunch of people found themselves selling kangaroos to people in the streets of Toronto, and looking at hotels and asking Ursula K. LeGuin to be Guest of Honor. And here you are in this impossible, improbable dream come true; all I can say is W ry Best Wishes From ALGOL To A ll Australian Fans. 0 4 7 * fw ftL K L i;, * U l t f Z JR 07JV FRANZ E U L •in 7m KELLY F /fA S 0167 Th CmAn u . b lo s r VO /N ALLFN EV*

United for Our Expanded S

An Open Solicitation Pick up any metropolitan newspaper from any part of the world and one thing becomes immediately apparent: the world, in general, and the area of greatest concern to the metropolis in question, in particular, are in terrible shape. Tune in any television or radio news broadcast of any station around the globe and one thing becomes immed­ iately apparent: the planet is beset with enormous crises whose intensity diminishes insignificantly from one day (or week or month) to the next. Starvation, war, destruction of the biosphere, political repression and economic collapse (imminent or otherwise) are the signs of the times, the distinguishing marks of the world today. If one were to continue this monitoring of news media, one could soon make an observation far more frightening in its implications than the simple ones above. Just as there is exponential growth in population, natural resources depletion, pollution of the biosphere and economic dis­ parity between the Industrial World and the Third World, so there is exponential growth in the number and intensity of these crises' manifestations. Each day brings revelation of new catastrophes (such as massive nuclear-wastes pollution or the ozone's destruction by fluorocarbons) at the same time that the probabilities of old ones (such as nuclear war or world-wide depression) occurring increase markedly. What is more, we can see no end to this situation within the reasonable future. Not only can we see no end to this frightful state; there is no end except total collapse. The simple truth is that humanity has introduced so many destructive processes into the world's machinery of life that there can be no hope of reversing the course of cataclysmic 116 events now. This planet is doomed. ce Programs

If Earth were all we had, there would be little left but despair. We cannot survive on the planet; but we can survive in the Solar System. Twelve people have roamed the surface of the moon; scores of thousands of hours have been accumulated by men in space; the technology exists now to colonize the Solar System. United For Our Expanded Space Programs is a non-profit organization dedicated to mobilizing the millions of people who are needful of an expanded space program (all those who want to survive) to unite their voices in a demand for Space. Space is the place because it is the only place there is .... left. Through petitioning the U.S. space-policy makers, educating the general public, and estab­ lishing strong communications with organi­ zations around the world which recog­ nize the necessity for the explor­ ation and colonization of the Solar System, UFOESP works actively to bring the Space Experience into general reality for the millions who need it. The task is enormous. It can not be done alone. We must act now. We must Unite for our expanded space programs.

A n Essay on Fiction of the Future

Robert Scholes

In this critical and theoretical study of science fiction Robert Scholes, a recognized expert on the theory and his­ tory of narrative literature, refutes the traditional stereotype of science fiction as works having escapist and trivial subject matter, hackneyed or episodic plots, and robot-like charac­ ters.

The author makes an argument for the seriousness of science fiction and its value as literature, relating the rise of this genre to the literary tradition and to modern intellectual history. He then presents a perspective on the varieties of modern science fiction through a discussion of certain borderline or extreme cases, such as Daniel Keyes’s Flowers for Algernon, Olaf Stapledon’s Star Maker, and Frank Her­ bert’s Dune. The works of Ursula Le Guin are discussed ex­ tensively to illustrate the way in which it is possible to unite speculation and fabulation in works of compelling power and beauty. $6.95

Science fiction is a field o f ever- I increasing popularity which has always exercised the ingenuity not only of imaginative writers but also of artists, illustrators and film-makers. This book ,, therefore provides a survey of the I pictorial aspect of science fiction as I well as a com prehensive history of its literature. The author has cast his net wide, explaining in his introductory 5 essay that science fiction as a genre is j extrem ely difficult to define, since it r includes much m ore than space ody­ sseys, intergalactic com m unication and the projection of future societies. Ranging from the classic tales of H.G. Wells, Jules Verne and Edgar Allan Poe to the high- . quality writings of such m odern authors as Olaf Stapledon, Ray Bradbury, A rthur C. Clarke and ' Stanislaw Lem, he also covers fully the whole range of magazine sf (perhaps the true core of m odern science fiction), com ic strips, television series, etc. Unlike previous histories of science fiction, this book treats science fiction as an international phenom enon, as vigorous in Japan, the Soviet Union, Germ any, France or Italy as it is in the United States and Great Britain, [‘here is also a brief com m ent on science fiction fandom , which has produced small-circulation ' periodicals that provide authors with a kind o f feedback unknow n in other literary fields. In addition the book contains a chronology, lists of winners o f the most im portant sf awards, and provides the collector, student or general enthusiast w ith a com prehensive bibliography of books on the subject. With 216 illustrations, 186 in colour
