Association News

The 1972 Annual Meeting The 1972 Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association was held at the Washington Hilton Hotel, Washington, D.C., from September 5-9. Dwaine Marvick of the University of California, Los Angeles, served as Program Chairman. Official registration was 3,262 with 682 participants in panel sessions. Many Association committees also met and held open sessions to inform the member- ship of their efforts and invite suggestions for future activities.

Other important aspects of the 1972 Annual Meeting included the Annual Business Meeting, the Awards Ceremony and the Presidential Address.

The Annual Business Meeting The 1972 Annual Business Meeting was held on Wednesday, September 5, at 4:00 p.m. The Vice President of the Association, Clara Penniman, presided; the American Arbitration Association assisted with the administration of the session. Items on the agenda included an amendment to the Constitution, three resolutions, and nomination of officers and their certification by the Election Committee.

Robert E. Ward Univ. of Michigan, Association President 1972-73

The Constitutional Amendment on an Association Trust and Development fund will be submitted for a mail ballot vote of the membership based on the action of the Business Meeting. One resolution calling on the Association to support the Equal Rights Amendment to the United States Constitu- tion and to convey this support to states still considering the amendment received the support of over two thirds of those present and voting and was adopted. Two other resolutions, one on student participation in Association affairs and one on reestablishing a separate committee on academic freedom will be submitted to the member- ship for a mail ballot vote.

The final action of the Business Meeting was the nomination of candidates for Association officers and Council and their certification by the Chairman of the Elections Committee. The results of the balloting on the Constitutional amendment, the two resolutions and on the election of officers and Council members as well as the official minutes of the Business Meeting will be published in future issues of PS.

Awards Seven awards recognizing outstanding publications and dissertations were presented at Annual Meeting awards ceremony. This included the first presenta- tion of the E. E. Schattschneider Award established in the last year in honor of the late Professor E. E. Schattschneider.

The 1972 Awards and winners were:

Woodrow Wilson Foundation Book Award David E. Apter of Yale University received the 1972 Woodrow Wilson Foundation Book Award of $-1,000 and a medal for the best book published in the United States in 1971 in government, politics, or international affairs. The award winning book, Choice and the Politics of Allocation, was published by the Yale University Press. Gwendolen M. Carter, the Chairman of the Selection Committee, in her citation said, "We were looking for a work that combined theoretical sophistication with a sound basis of research. Among a number of books that met these criteria, we looked further for one that seemed to us to break new ground, that dealt with insights drawn from the experience and needs of developing as well as developed states, that was profound without being pretentious, and that stimulated our imagination by opening up new avenues of thought for further exploration. The book we have chosen is one of the slimmer

volumes we read but it is packed with ideas, care- fully and systematically presented and in a form which, happily is the clearest, at least to me, of all of this author's works." The Committee which selected the winner was composed of Gwendolen M. Carter, Northwestern University, Chairman; Manning J. Dauer, University of Florida, and John E. Turner, University of Minnesota.

Gladys M. Kammerer Award The Gladys M. Kammerer Award for the best political science publication in the field of United States national policy was awarded to Alice M. Rivlin of the Brookings Institution for her book, Systematic Thinking for Social Action, published by the Brookings Institution. In presenting the award of $500.00 to Rivlin, Stephen K. Bailey, the Chairman of the Selection Committee stated:

"Her volume is an honest appraisal of attempts in the 1960's to make the national policy process more rational and more responsible. She deals precisely and perceptively with the uses and abuses of quantification in accountability designs.

"Because she is learned, Dr. Rivlin writes logically. Because she is experienced in government, she writes with authority. Because she is disciplined, she writes with clarity and force.

"Her work has meaning and significance for all those who wrestle with questions of the effective implementation of governmental programs. It is a major contribution to the literature of Political Science. It sets high standards for improving the national policy process."

Members of the Selection Committee were Stephen K. Bailey, Syracuse University, Chairman; Robert Eyestone, University of Minnesota; and Francine F. Rabinovitz, University of California, Los Angeles.

E. E. Schattschneider Award The first E. E. Schattschneider Award for the best dissertation completed and accepted in the general field of American Government and Politics in 1971 was presented to Paul M. Sniderman of Stanford University. His dissertation, "Personality and Demo- cratic Politics: Correlates of Self-Esteem," was submitted by the Department of Political Science, University of California, Berkeley. Reading from his citation of the award, Austin Ranney, the Chairman of the Selection Committee, noted that Sniderman's work "is grounded in a thorough and judicious understanding of the current state of

theory and research on the problem. Its hypotheses are carefully formulated and tested by methods that are both rigorous and appropriate, some of the author's own creation. The findings are dis- cussed in lucid and accurate English prose. The author's use of data previously collected by his advisor, Professor Herbert McClosky, shows how much can be done with secondary analysis. And his conclusions about the conditions under which various degrees of self-esteem are developed and associated with various degrees of commitment to democratic values makes a major contribution to our understanding of the relationship among personality, belief and behavior."

Members of the Selection Committee were Austin Ranney, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Chair- man; Barbara Hinckley, University of Wisconsin, Madison; and H. Douglas Price, Harvard University.

The Pi Sigma Alpha Award The Pi Sigma Alpha Award, for the best paper presented at the 1971 Annual Meeting, went to Alexander George of Stanford University for his paper, "Multiple Advocacy in Making Foreign Policy." Of his paper, Avery Leiserson, the Chairman of the Committee said:

"Professor George set for himself the theoretical problem of the conflict between the classical model of a centralized, hierarchical system of coordination in complex organizations and the loosely-coordinated, pluralistic variety resting upon a system of bargaining among semi-autonomous centers of bureaucratic responsibility. While he takes a clear position as to which side of the dispute he prefers, one of the strongest aspects of his analysis is the emphasis he places on the difficulties of his proposals for designing and managing the foreign policy decision-making process. His elaboration of the conditions under which the Chief Executive may go wrong in foreign policy-making, indeed, renders the paper almost a monograph on the subject."

Members of the Selection Committee were Avery Leiserson, Vanderbilt University, Chairman; Harvey Mansfield, Jr., Harvard University; and Suzanne H. Rudolph, University of Chicago.

Edward S. Corwin Award The Edward S. Corwin Award for the best disserta- tion in 1971 in public law, broadly defined went to Walter G. Markham of the University of Hartford for his dissertation "Draft Offenders in the Federal Courts: A Search for the Social Correlates of

APSA Undergraduate Education Improvement Program

The Association has been awarded nearly one-half million dollars by the National Science Foundation for a three-year program designed to bring about improvements in the undergraduate teaching of political science. A committee consisting of Vernon Van Dyke, Chairman, University of Iowa; Vincent Browne, Howard University; Martin

Diamond, Northern Illinois University; Heinz Eulau, Stanford University; Betty Nesvold, San Diego State University; Jack Peltason, University of Illinois, Urbana; Ithiel Pool, M.I.T.; James Robinson, MacCalester College, and Stanley Rothman, Smith College, has been appointed to guide this Asso- ciation project. The proposal listed as primary objectives the stimulation of interest, the generation of materials, and the dissemination of information helpful in upgrading political science instruction in a variety of institutional settings. More specifi- cally, the Committee expects to give high priority to the introductory course(s), field experiences, and the application of educational technology to political science teaching.

Reports of the progress of the project and requests for assistance will be contained in the pages of PS.

APSA Elementary & Secondary School Curriculum Development Project

This APSA NSF-funded project, co-directed by Howard Mehlinger and Richard Snyder, will develop new instructional materials for teaching about

politics and government in elementary and

secondary schools.

The staff of the elementary school component consists of Lee Anderson, Northwestern University; Mae King, American Political Science Association; Richard Longaker, University of California, Los Angeles; Jewel Prestage, Southern University; Charles Quigley, Law in a Free Society Project; Richard Remy, Ohio State University; Shelby Smith, Southern University; and Richard Snyder, Ohio State University. On the basis of a year's investiga- tion and study, this component will publish a set of guidelines to direct the future development of instructional materials on political science for use in elementary schools. The project expects to design an approach to the study of politics that is grounded in children's natural political life within the contexts of families, schools, and peer groups but clearly focused upon universal experiences and perennial problems in the political life of mankind.

The high school component is based at the Social Studies Development Center, Indiana University. The co-directors of the high school component are Judith Gillespie, Howard Mehlinger, and John Patrick. Maurice Woodard, Howard University, is a

special consultant to the project. During the course of their work, the staff, together with advisors and

cooperating teachers, will design, develop, and test instructional materials for a senior high school course in political science that may be used as an alternative to present twelfth-grade courses in American Government. The new program will combine the comparative analysis of political systems with student observation and participatory experiences in schools. Schools will be concep-

tualized as small-scale political systems that are analytically comparable to political systems at local, state, national, and transnational levels. The materials will be designed to treat such basic political phenomena as system change, mainte- nance, conflict, development, ideology, communi- cation, leadership, decision-making, influence, and participation. The instructional program will make use of schools as laboratories in which these phenomena can be studied through the methods of social science and systematically compared to analogous phenomena in large political systems. The schools will be used also as sites for provid- ing students with concrete experience in political participation and decision-making.

Numerous working papers have been prepared for both the elementary and secondary components, and a full report on the progress of the project was made to the Association membership at the Annual Meeting in Washington. The project staff will also make a presentation at the Southern Political Science Association meeting in Atlanta.

APSA Council Minutes

The second Council meeting of the year was held at the Washington Hilton Hotel, Washington, D.C., May 22, 1972. Present: Christian Bay, Philip E. Converse, Thomas R. Dye, Valerie A. Earle, Heinz Eulau, Richard F. Fenno, Fred I. Greenstein, Robert 0. Keohane, Evron M. Kirkpatrick, Samuel Krislov, Gerhard Loewenberg, Robert E. Martin, Dwaine Marvick, Donald R. Matthews, Joyce M. Mitchell, Clara Penniman, Nelson W. Polsby, Kenneth Prewitt, Dankwart A. Rustow, Joseph Tanenhaus, Gordon Tullock and Robert E. Ward.

Approval of Minutes Minutes of the previous meeting were unanimously approved, subject to such minor corrections as the Secretary may find necessary.

FY 1972-73 Budget Matthews presented the Council with the budget for fiscal 1972-73 proposed by the Administrative Committee. On a procedural point, he moved that if more than one motion is made to alter the budget expenditures proposed by the Administra- tive Committee the following procedure will be followed:

(2) The budget as amended will then be voted on as a whole. The final budget must be passed by roll call vote of the Council for alterations in the budget to take effect.

No objection; motion approved.

Polsby was asked to comment on the adequacy of the budget for the Review. He stated that the backlog of accepted articles was so great that even in May 1972 the June 1973 issue was already filled. This was true despite an acceptance rate of less than 10% of submitted articles. "I cannot request a larger appropriation in view of the other needs of the Association," he said "but if the Council grants one, I can put it to good use." Penniman inquired whether part of the $40,000 allocated to PS might be used to expand the Review to reduce the backlog. Kirkpatrick explained that PS was already assisting the Review by removing Association news and notes; the existence of PS was enabling the Review to publish two or three additional articles per issue. Polsby defended PS as a contribution to the "profession" of political science, while the Review is a contribution to the "discipline" of political science.

Rustow observed that there was a decline in the total appropriation for matters of professional equality; he suggested the addition of a full-time staff member to handle women's affairs exclusively. Eulau explained that several projects on profes- sional equality, including studies of blacks and women in the profession, which had been funded by the Association, were now completed. Mitchell stated that the Women's Committee had not requested a full-time staff member. Penniman ob- served that increased activity in colleges and universities on behalf of professional equality may relieve the Association of some of the burden of effort in this area.

Loewenberg moved that the amount allocated for the Council meetings be reduced by the amount of travel expenses to and from the Annual Meeting. Tullock seconded. Dye observed that he had made similar motions in previous years but they had failed. Polsby expressed his opposition to the motion. Motion defeated by a voice vote.

Matthews moved for adoption of the budget as proposed by the Administrative Committee. Motion approved by a voice vote.

(1) Each motion will be considered separately and approved or disapproved by a preliminary vote of the Council.

Constitutional Amendment Establishing a Trust and Development Fund Austin Ranney reported to the Council for the Trust Fund Committee. (The Committee report is printed in the Summer 1972 PS). The Committee recommended a constitutional amendment to provide for a Trust and Development Fund. A Board of Trustees of seven members-the Treasurer, ex-officio, and six members appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Council would direct the investment of the Fund's resources. The Board would be required to assign all interest and dividends from the Fund to the Association's operating fund each year, but no capital would be removed from the Fund with- out Board approval; providing, however, that the Board could be overruled by a two-thirds vote at a subsequent meeting of the Council.

Bay argued that the Trust Fund "would further strengthen the ruling oligarchy," and he moved to delete recommended items six and seven which required Board approval for expenditure of Asso- ciation Trust Fund capital. Prewitt offered a substitute motion to remove the two-thirds Council vote required to overrule the Board and replace it with a simple majority Council vote at a subsequent meeting. Bay withdrew his motion. Ward explained that the purpose of the Trust Fund Board was to provide some prudent "checks and balances" in Association finances, to avoid the kinds of deficits experienced in past years and help insure future members that money will be available to meet special Association needs when they arise.

The Prewitt motion was approved by a unanimous vote of the Council. The proposed constitutional amendment would provide a new section 9 to Article VII of the Constitution to read:

The Association Trust and Development Fund shall be administered by a Board of Trustees. The Treasurer of the Association shall serve ex-officio as Chairman of the Board. Six other Trustees shall be appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Council. No more than two of the appointive Trustees shall be currently serving as members of the Council. Each appointed member shall serve for a term of three years and be eligible for one additional three-year term, for a maximum service of six years. Of the first six appointments to the Board, two shall have three-year terms; two two-year terms, and two one-year terms as deter- mined by drawing lots at the first meeting of the Board. Thereafter, two appointed members' terms shall expire on the first day of January of each year.

The Fund shall consist of all endowment and trust funds and such other funds as may be assigned to it by the Council. Within any guidelines laid down by the Council, and with appropriate professional adivce, the Board of Trustees shall direct the investment of the Fund's resources. On the first day of July of each year, the Board of Trustees shall assign to the Association's general operating funds all moneys from interest and dividends earned by the Fund since the first day of July in the preceding year. At least once annually, the Board shall publicly issue an official accounting of the Fund's receipts, investments, and expenditures. The Council may, at its pleasure, assign any surpluses from the general operating funds to the Trust and Development Fund. No appropriation shall be made from the Fund's capital except (1) upon a request of the Council approved by at least four members of the Board of Trustees; or (2) if the Council so directs at a subsequent Council meeting, after hearing the position of the Board of Trustees. The Board shall act upon any request of the Council within thirty days of the Council meeting at which the request is first made.

This constitutional amendment was approved by vote of the Council; only Bay voted no; Rustow and Mitchell abstained.

Rules Committee Report Krislov reported to the Council for the Rules Com- mittee and recommended changes in the Rules of Procedure. (The Rules of Procedure are printed in the Summer 1972 issue of PS.) The changes were approved by voice vote.

Resolutions of the Committee on the Status of Women The Committee on the Status of Women in the Profession submitted a resolution on equality of rates and benefits payments in public and private retirement plans which reads:

The Association affirms that in public and private retirement plans there should be equality of premium payments and equal monthly benefits pay- ments without regard to sex.

The Administrative Committee recommended that the resolution be changed to read:

The Association affirms that in public and private retirement plans there should be no discrimination by sex with respect to premium payments and monthly benefits payments.

Rustow moved that the original version as pre- sented by the Committee on the Status of Women be substituted for the Administrative Committee version.

Vote on the Rustow motion was: For: Converse, Earle, Krislov, Mitchell, Penniman, Rustow. Against: Dye, Eulau, Fenno, Keohane, Loewenberg, Marvick, Matthews, Polsby, Prewitt, Tanenhaus, Tullock.

Greenstein, Kirkpatrick and Ward abstained from voting. Vote: 6 approved, 11 opposed; motion defeated.

The substitute resolution recommended by the Administrative Committee was approved by a voice vote. Lowenberg opposed; Krislov abstained.

The Council next considered the following Women's Committee resolution on Child Care Service:

The APSA should provide Child Care Service at the Annual Meetings at a nominal fee based on a fixed per child one half day-full day basis.

The Administrative Committee recommended (1) approval of the resolution provided the national office staff keep the cost, on an experimental basis for the first year, below $1,000; (2) that the Asso- ciation charge a fee of $5 for a half day and $10 for a full day for each child.

The recommendations of the Administrative Com- mittee were approved by a voice vote.

The Administrative Committee recommended approval of the Women's Committee resolutions below concerning placement assistance:

The Association suggests that Department Chairmen cooperate in exploring job possibilities for spouses of applicants when the applicant requests such assistance.

The Association affirms that in cases of a university or college reallocation of funds which result in elimination of positions, persons in such positions should have the opportunity to compete for newly created positions in that university or college without regard to sex.

Resolutions approved by a voice vote.

The Administrative Committee recommended ap-

proval of the following Women's Committee resolu- tion on Annual Meeting program procedures: The Association affirms that Program Committee members and panel chairmen should not make final decisions on panel participation for at least ninety days after publication in an official Association publication of the names of the Program Chairman and members of the Committee.

Resolution approved by a voice vote.

Status of the Women's Caucus Eulau moved that the Council reaffirm its action of September 7-8, 1970, that no official APSA recog- nition or funds be given to the Women's Caucus (PS, Winter 1971, p. 69); and that the Council adopt a resolution that no group, committee or caucus should use the Association name unless specifically authorized to do so by the Council.

Pamela Hellert, appearing at the Council meeting as a representative of the Women's Caucus, de- fended the Women's Caucus action of printing on their stationery "The Women's Caucus of the American Political Science Association." She felt that the Women's Caucus is a group of members within the Association, and that it did not claim to speak for it or to represent it. She stated that the Women's Caucus had consulted with corporate attorneys concerning this matter and felt that the proposed resolution is entirely unnecessary.

Eulau motion was approved by a voice vote, Bay and Mitchell opposed; Rustow abstained.

Association Position Toward Research Application Eulau proposed that the Council, at a future meeting, adopt some guidelines setting limits on the use of the Association's name or resources in research application. No action was taken by the Council. Bay accused Eulau of trying to "reaffirm the hegemony of a past paradigm." Eulau directed Bay to "cut out the shit."

Publication of Plenary Session Papers The Program Chairman, Dwaine Marvick, presented a proposal that the papers from the plenary ses- sions be published in book form, following the example of the 1966 Annual Meeting when Ithiel Pool was Program Chairman. The Executive Director outlined the procedure followed in 1966 of sending out a proposal to all publishers and making a decision based on publication offers. The Council encouraged Marvick and the national office to proceed in the same manner as 1966, with the understanding that the matter would come back to the Council for final approval.

AHA Resolution on Declassification Ward moved that the Council approve the Adminis- trative Committee recommendation on a request from the American Historical Association that APSA endorse a motion, adopted at an AHA busi- ness meeting, calling for an automatic declassifica- tion of most government documents after a reasonable number of years. The Administrative Committee recommended that the Association endorse the resolution with such modifications as may be needed to bring it into line with current Federal regulations.

Ward motion was unanimously approved.
