  "2001:A SPACE ODYSSEY" PREMIERS IN MINNEAPOLIS JUNE 26th

       _2001_ will premier at The Cooper Cinerama 26 June. If 25 people can be found who
  want to go (at the same time) it's possible to get group rates of $2.00 per seat. I'm
  willing to go; I want to see what _I'll_ have to say about this. So: What say you all?

  MINNEAPOLIS IN '73 WORLDCON BID TO BE ADVERTISED IN "BAYCON" PROGRAM BOOK

       The Minneapolis in 1973 World Science Fiction bid will be advertised in the 1968

  up the advertisement. While '73 _is_ a way off -- it's never too early to plan....
       Also: The Minn-Stf officially supports the St. Louis in 1969 bid for the Worldcon.
  If you're at the Baycon in San Francisco, why not think about it?

  had strange fantasies about U. of M. recognition, fanzine publishing and MINICON II.
  Those dreams have been far beyond our reach due to the demands placed on our time and
  money by studies.

       But summer is upon us at last and for many of us part-time jobs have replaced
