FILE 770:23, Edited by Mike Glyer at 1^97^ Osceola St., Sylmar the Creation of Some Suitable CA 913^2 WOOD Susan Wood died from an over­ dose of barbiturates on Nov­ ember 12. She was 32. She was an assistant professor at the University of British Columbia. Her critical essays on science fiction regularly appeared in STARSHIP, and had prefaced several recent works by or about Ursula LeGuin. She coedited ENERGUMEN with former husband Mike Glicksohn, She was nominated for the Hugo nine times, three as coeditor or NERG (won 1973). and six times as Best Fanwriter (won 197^ and 1977» tying the latter year with Geis). Her passing was marked in the Vancouver Province by Bruce McLean in a condescend­ ing and obnoxious report whose least objectionable paragraph was, ”As an SF scribe might chronicle it, citizen Wood journeyed into the null on Greg­ orian Calendar’s Day 12, Month 11, near to 10^5 hours.” That Susan Wood could be treat­ ed with less than human dignity by her local paper is a source of outrage to me. FILE 770:23, edited by Mike Glyer at 1^97^ Osceola St., Sylmar The creation of some suitable CA 913^2. Available for news, memorial has been suggested by trades with clubzines or newzines, her friends. When anything and subscriptions at the rate concrete is decided F77O offers of four issues for $2.00 US. to help promote it. Overseas rates: seamail ^/$2(US), air printed rate $1.00 (US) each. Recent thoughts on the function Please pay in US funds, and of F77O lead me to conclude make checks payable to the editor. that any other details would be outside the scope of this Issued: November 30, 1980 publication. HUGO NOMINATED FANZINE UNDERGOES NAME CHANGE OPERATION: Jeanne Gomoll writes that "Jan Bogstad has decided that she does not want to renew permission granted to SF3 at the beginning of this year to continue using the title JANUS for our /Madison WI group_/ fanzine. Jan had originally thought of the name for the group’s zine, and thus her •ownership’ of it. Our use of the title will officially end with the publication of JANUS 18 this December. Number 19 of the group fanzine will come out with a new title, as yet undecided. Jan continues to plan for her own zine, a genzine to be called NEW MOON, but as yet an issue has not come out. As far as I know, no Madison-baded zine will have the name JANUS after this ;ast issue is published. The new name of the SF3 zine will be announced in JANUS 18. *sigh*M This stirs unasked for editorial comment -- since when can anybody own a title? And how silly to think that any other zine could presently brand itself JANUS and survive in the shadow of the real McCoy, whatever its new name? FAMOUS BOOKSTORE ANNOUNCES TRANSPLANT: A CHANGE OF HOBBIT will serve the sf collecting public at its Westwood location for the last time on January 11, 1981* On January 19, the store will reopen at 1853 Lincoln Blvd., Santa Monica CA 90405.

FILE 770:23 November. 1980 OHtWJ CrJ;\O§ GULF COAST SCIENCE FICTION SOCIETY, according to its clubzine CATALYST, is progressing towards incorporation, and application for such plums as IRS 501 (c)(3) nonprofit status, and eligibility for cheaper bulk mailing rates. Evidently I underestimated the number of incorporated sf clubs in a past F77O -- I'd like to get comments from club members on their methods for accomplishing these things, with a view towards producing an article on it in the YEARBOOK. Betimes, the new GCSFS address is P0 Box 58783. Houston TX 77058. Avedon Carol’s WSFANAC, which is what I would make F77O into if it weren’t for the fact that after the first issue no one in’ fandom would talk to me again for the rest of my life, reports, "There still seems to be a minority movement afoot in WSFA /Washington Science Fiction Association -- DC_/ to eliminate the Life.Member­ ships. It’s quite obvious that this is aimed largely at Charles Gilliland, who is the only Life .Member who still appears at WSFA meetings with any regularity. As you know, Charles is a considerable drain on WSFA, as he consumes all of our beer and never so much as inconveniences himself for the club in any way (for example it might be different if WSFA kept him up all night by partying once a month in his home).... It seems to me that to revoke Life Memberships which WSFA has already granted would be a highly dishonorable breach of an old promise, and for no good reason. It is hardly as if WSFA can’t afford to honor those memberships." Bowling Green (OH): BGSU’s science fiction club can be reached through Franz Zrilich (241-S. Summit St., BG OH 43402).

From the Chair OK, here we go—the first Official Progress Report from Worldcon 76 in San Jose! The World Science Fiction Convention is, to me, the World’s Fair of fandom. No other event brings together fans and creators, regardless of genre or medium, under one “big tent” with the face-to-face intimacy of Worldcon. There are lots of big pop culture conventions (quite a few bigger than Worldcon), but none of them feature the “everybody creates this event together” culture that makes Worldcon such a unique international gathering. Just last month at Worldcon 75 in Helsinki, Finland, I had the privilege of announcing our final two Guests of Honor, artist John Picacio and musician Frank Hayes, who join GoHs Spider Robinson, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, Pierre and Sandy Pettinger, and our posthumous Ghost and gHost of Honor Edgar Pangborn and Bob Wilkins. We look forward to sharing their talents in person with you next August, and I’m sure they are working on cunning plans with my Program and Exhibits divisions already.
