S.T.A.R. Base Akron’s Log is the newsletter for the fan club of the same name.
At least two items from it were reprinted in Warped Space and Archives' Log.
Reactions and Reviews
[unknown issue]: I was really tickled to see this when it came in the mail. For a while, I'd thought that I was the only one publishing a digest-sized, reduced kind of news letter. Well, now there is someone else putting out something like STARDATE. AKRON'S LOG is, of course, the newsletter of S.T.A.R. Base Akron in Akron, Ohio. Only it is done xerox because, as Christine McWilliams writes, "I only have 28 subs, so I can afford only xerox." But, considering this is the first issue of AKRON'S LOG done in this new format (and a change for the better, regardless of what they were using before — but then I'm prejudiced in this matter), it is really nicely done. This issue contains the usual club business, plus a small report with photos of a costume Star Trek party, an extensive report on the Pittsburgh Star Trektacular in December of 1975 with some photos of the stars, and some upcoming convention listings, plus the usual miscellaneous news. And a neat little cartoon strip showing an encounter between the Enterprise and Moon Base Alpha. (Guess who won? Right!) This is a nice publication. I hope to see more. [1]
[v.2 n.3]: It's nice to know that another branch of S.T.A.R. is also on the ball. S.T.A.R. Base Akron's newsletter contains lots of news, conventions, whereabouts of conventions, extensive club goings on, and they still have time to review a couple o f fanzines. All this is put into a neat, well laid-out, digest-sized newsletter of fair quality. Inside is also an ad/flyer urging people to write to President Ford re the space shuttle, and information about STAR TREK day.[2]
