    BALTICONFERENCE

    The second regional Baltimore Science Fiction Conference, held over the weekend of February 9 to 11, drew an attendance of 115 fans and pros. The program Saturday afternoon was based on the theme, “Is There A ‘New Wave’ In SF?” It consisted of a panel with Lin Carter, Alexis Gilliland and Andrew Porter, with Jack Chalker as moderator; a dialogue between Ted White and Roger Zelazny, with Jack Chalker moderating; and a speech by Samuel R. Delany.

    The balance of the weekend was devoted to partying and dining. The Baltimore group which sponsored the Conference reported a deficit of $25 for the weekend. END
