       1. On September 11, 7 PM, the film fest  will  continue  with  our
       third night of animated films.  Last festival's attendence-record-
       breaking turnout has prompted us to show two more animated films.

       Animation III
       FLASH GORDON CONQUERS THE UNIVERSE, chap. 8
       PLAGUE DOGS (1982) dir. by Martin Rosen
       FIRE AND ICE (1983) dir. by Ralph Bakshi

       Our last films concentrated on how animation can create  images  on
       the  screen  that  could  not  be done economically in live-action.
       These two films concentrate more on story-telling.

       PLAGUE DOGS is Rosen's adaptation of the Richard Adams novel  (just
       as  was  WATERSHIP  DOWN  from  our first animation festival).  The
       story is of two dogs' attempts to gain their freedom after escaping
       from  a  laboratory.   This is a powerful and serious film aimed at
       adult minds.  That is one reason why it is seen so little  in  this

       country, though it was popular in Europe.

       For a change of pace, Ralph Bakshi offers us an action fantasy in a
       more popular vein.  The art was based on Frank Frazetta's style and
       offers us one of those ultimate battles between good and evil  that
       are so popular with fantasy readers.

       (The previously announced pairing of SERIAL  and  BANANAS  will  be
       postponed due to a recent TV showing of SERIAL.)

       2. We've got a piece of the rocket.

       In this issue you will find an annoucement of the Hugo Awards  from
       this  year's World Science Fiction Convention at Atlanta.  The Hugo
       for Best Amateur Fanzine is LAN'S  LANTERN.   The  fanzine  is  the
       product  of  Lan,  the  fannish  name  for George Laskowski.  I met
       George in the Detroit area about 10  years  ago.   He  was  a  high
       school  math  teacher  with an interest in science fiction.  Evelyn
       and I suggested that he might like to accompany us to a meeting  of
       the  Wayne  State  University Science Fiction club, The Wayne Third
       Foundation.  Lan attributes this as his introduction to fandom.  He
       probably  would  have discovered it eventually by some other means,
       but it was nice to have a hand in his introduction by being at  the
       right place at the right time.

       Lan went in for science fiction  fandom  in  a  big  way,  adopting
       wearing  a  coonskin  cap as his personal trademark, publishing his
       own fanzine LAN'S LANTERN, even marrying another fan (Maia  Cowan).
       George   invited  me  to  contribute  article  for  LAN'S  LANTERN.
       Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time for adding new writing to
       my current responsibilities, but I suggested that we could send him
       this notice on a regular basis and he was free to reprint  what  he
       wanted  of my or Evelyn's writing.  On at least two other occasions
       he has gotten permission from other contributors to this notice  to
       reprint  their  material  also.   As  it stands, however, perhaps a
       fifth of the articles from LAN'S LANTERN are  reprinted  from  this
       notice.   Of  course Lan does most of the work, and there is a heck
       of a lot of it.  But  as  they  say,  "Success  has  many  parents,
       failure is an unfertilized egg in a Petrie dish somewhere."  I will
       toot my own horn a little to say that a not insignificant piece  of
       the  writing  that  Lan  won  the  Hugo for publishing is from this
       notice.

       3. And the Hugo winners are...
