As a service to our subscribers, page 5 will be an application form to a trerrry inexpensive, high quality Star Trek club. As you may notice, this fanzine id that club's official fanzine, for obvious reasons, but also because STFCC 917 is a very "picky" club, and wants only the best for our members. If you have a Star Trek club, and would like it to be publicized, send us an application form, will we insert it into an issue.Thank you.

Paramount recently signed a contract with Gene Roddenberry for the production of the new Star Trek movie. But the best news of all: ALL of the original cast will be in the movie. The reason we have waited to tell you about this is because when you receive this issue, they will be filming the movie! This makes us feel especially proud, and we are all waiting to see it when it is released later this year.") (4)

- How to Run a Convention, part one, article by Conn M. Quinn (an excerpt: "When you get 1/3 of the hotel bill into the account, write a check for what is necessary to the hotel. Bring it to the convention sales manager. That will reserve your space. In the meantime, start trying to get guests. The Presidents of the authorized fan clubs are the best place to go to get information about where to reach them, Because of the time involved, ft is suggested that you start this process about a year before the Convention starts.")

- Star Trek Gossip ("Rumor has it that the attendance of the next six major conventions will determine the fate of the STAR TREK Movie. Paramount bigwigs figure that if the fans don't care about the conventions, they won't care about the movie. So, SUPPORT THE CONVENTIONS! Oh, and by the way, "HAILING FREQUENCIES" officially endorses STAR TREK '77 as the convention of the year, GO! YOU'LL ENJOY IT, AND YOU'LL BE SUPPORTING THE MOVIE!") (2)
- Star Trek Gossip ("Joanie Winston is right now writing her next book, which you've all heard so much about. Curious about the title? It will called "HOW TO HOLD A PARTY FOR 12,000 of YOUR MOST INTIMATE FRIENDS." It will be the inside story of the original 5 conventions, and rumor has it that is will finally tell who is who, who isn't who, and best of, all, why. We don't know when it will be out, but it will probably arrive in time for the Bi-Centennial 10 Convention, September 3-6, 1976, in New York.") (2)

WE will arrange hotel, travel, and give you exactly what the trip will cost, in a nice, ready to read package. All for free. Let us know the convention, when you want to arrive, when you want to leave, and where you're coming from, and how you want to get there; we'll set all up for you. We do not however, pay the bills, that you must take care of yourself. Don't forget to know how many are traveling with you, and what type of room you want. Hope to hear from you.") (2)

- Movie Review: Logan's Run ("For once, since STAR TREK, there is finally a believable science fiction show. "LOGAN'S RUN takes place in the year 2274, about 50 years after STAR TREK. The movie opens in the great domed city, which I would not mind living in myself. Tubes stretching between the super-modern buildings are the transportation system, with little cars running through them. The pace of the movie is on where you would not want to leave the theatre for anything, with the exception of William Shatner being outside. But I can't tell you everything. Go see it for yourself, if you ever have the chance. You'll love it.") (4)
