From the zine: 
From "Etc.", an example of the low-key accessibility many fans had with TPTB: 
* Star Trek Intro and Theme, music by Alexander Courage, words to theme, by Gene Roddenberry (5)
*Naked Time - I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen, by Thomas Westendorf ("a song of the American-Irish, mangled by Kevin Riley over ship- wide intercom; it is presumably since then taboo on-.the Enterprise.") (6)
* Alab Wes-Craunish, by James Blish and/or John D.F. Black This may be found in James Blish's first volume of Star Trek novelizations. Apparently a draft of the script had Spock retiring to his quarters to play his lytherette and sing Vulcan songs rather than break down crying, and they actually had a few lines of the song. (9)
*Charlie X - Uhura in re: Spock and Charlie Evans, words by Gene Roddenberry, music: "Charlie is My Darling" (10)
* Beyond Antares, words by Gene L. Coon, music by Wilbur Hatch, from Conscience of the King (12)
* Good Night Sweetheart by Ray Noble, Jimmy Cmapbell and Reg Connelly, from City on the Edge of Forever (13)
*Of period music, jewel-song, and bird-song, commentary on the first draft of the episode that was by Harlan Ellison (14)
* Of Vulcan Music by Theodore Sturgeon, from an early draft of "Amok Time" (17)
* Maiden Wine by Leonard Nimoy, from Plato's Stepchildren (18)
*Alexander's Song ("a slightly garbled version of John Hookham Frere's exceedingly loose translation of the Frog-Chorus, 11. 288-35 from Aristophanes' "The Frogs.") (20)
*Way to Eden - Stiff Man Putting My Mind in Jail (21)
*Hey Out There, from "The Way to Eden" (22)
*Looking for the Good Land, from "The Way to Eden" (24)
*Heading Out to Eden, from "The Way to Eden" (25)
*Requiem for Methuselah - "Brahms Waltz" by Ivan Ditmars, from "Requiem for Methuselah" (26)
*Music for the Dance by Jerome Bixby, from "Requiem for Methuselah" (28)
* The Peace Day Song by Jerome Bixby, from "Day of the Dove" - includes commentary and description of the original draft of the script (31)
* Of the Vulcan Lyre by John Meredyth Lucas, from "Elan of Troyius" - includes commentary and description of the original draft of the script: "The following scenes from "Elaan of Troylus" were probably cut to save time, as it was an unusually long script." (33)
*Etc. (38)
* Errata (39)
