from Fancyclopedia 2 ca. 1959

Publisher of the official organ and other official matter such as the ballots. In fan APAs he is also the mailing manager; and in addition to this may (in OMPA) keep track of the membership and activity credits or even (in SAPS) be the only functioning officer in the club. He always has considerable discretion as to what, besides prescribed material, shall be included in the official organ. In well-regulated clubs the OE's expenses come out of the general treasury.
