was given by L. G. Harmon. A motion was made and seconded to approve the Treasurer's report. The motion passed. The report is summarized in the following Executive Com- mittee meeting held April 13 to 14, 1978 in Champaign, Illinois.

Executive Secretary: There are 14 people on the staff of ADSA servicing six organiza- tions. There are seven in composition, four in administration, and two in management. The editor and technical editor for the Society for the Study of Reproduction work out of the ADSA office in producing Biology o f Reproduction as does the director of the ARCAS program of the ASAS. One position is vacant at present time.

As of December 1977, circulation of the Journal increased from December 1976 by 96. There were 160 pages less published in 1977 than 1976 which is equal to one average issue. (2178 pages in 1976; 2018 pages in 1977).

As of December 31, 1977, ADSA had $254,00 in interest bearing accounts. This has been increased to $303,700 as of March 1978. Other organizations managed from the ADSA office are doing equally well.

The IRS has completed its audit for the years 1974, 1975, and 1976. The result was that any financial gain by ADSA through the operations of composition for journals would be taxable. No mention was made with re- gard to management fees collected from other organizations.

received from W. M. Durfey, Executive Vice President, stating that upon recommendat ion from an ad hoc committee the NAAB award would be administered by them rather than ADSA effective with the 1979 award.

There were 86 candidates nominated for the 11 awards for 1978 for which 45 dossiers were received. Approximately one-half of those nomi,n'ating did not follow through when con- tacted by letter to send the necessary forms to be completed.

Applications for life membership in ADSA have been received from the following mem- bers: A. J. Alton, Wisconsin; G. W. Brandt, South Carolina; L. G. Harmon, Michigan; C. D. McGrew, Ohio; and T. E. Patrick, Louisi- ana.

The ADSA office has been advised of the deaths of the following since the last annual meeting: L. K. Crowe, Nebraska; C. G. Cush- man, South Carolina; L. R. Fryman, Illinois; Ben Goodale, South Carolina; E. G. Granhus, Norway; F. H. Herzer, Mississippi; George Jaggard, Pennsylvania; H. L. Lucas, Jr., North Carolina; David Miller, Michigan; Lane Moore; A. J. Morris, Utah; H. B. Morrison, Florida; T. A. Nickerson, California; J. A. Sims, Wis- consin; Joe Sykes, New York; and K. Weckle, Wisconsin.

The Board of Directors reviewed the reports of committees and representatives. With some modifications, it accepted and approved the reports including the actions and recommenda- tions taken by the Executive Committee at

the Spring meeting. The Internal Affairs Committee during the

past year was charged to initiate a revision of the ADSA Administrative Handbook which is now outdated and to prepare a condensed ver- sion of the handbook for distribution to newly elected officers and board members to help them understand more completely the duties of the officers, committees, and association representatives and familiarize them with the ADSA awards. Campbell moved the incoming Internal Affairs Committee continue an up- date of this document in keeping with meth- ods of current operations and publish it in the Journal o f Dairy Science for the benefit of members of ADSA. The motion was sec- onded and approved.

Grant Hartman, Chairman of the Resolution Committee, presented the Board with five resolutions which the Board reviewed and approved. The resolutions were referred back to Grant Hartman to be presented at the business meeting of ADSA on July 12, 1978.

W. M. Roberts, Chairman of the Inter- society Research Committee, was invited to appear at the Board of Directors meeting following a presentation of its activities to the Board of Directors of ADSA and ASAS. Roberts reviewed the activities and meetings of the lntersociety Research Committee during the past year and presented plans for the printing of a brochure that would describe research priorities. The material for the bro- chure would be edited by a professional writer and would be writ ten in a style easily under- stood by all; estimated cost was $6000 to be shared by PSA, ASAS, and ADSA. On March 8, Sylvan Wittwer met with the Intersociety Research Committee to discuss how support for research was obtained in the plant areas. The international program that was held gave tremendous support, and Roberts proposed that the Intersociety Research Committee be authorized to proceed with the plans for an international symposium to be held in 1981 with financial support of $25,000 to be shared by PSA, ASAS, and ADSA. The percentage of each of the three societies sharing the cost was based on membership in each society. ADSA would pay 30%, ASAS 49%, and PSA 21%. Formen moved that the Intersociety Research Committee be authorized to proceed with the producing of the brochure with the

estimated cost of ADSA's share at $2200. Nelson seconded the motion. Motion approved. Nelson moved the request of funds, currently estimated at $7500, for an international pro- gram be approved. The motion was seconded by Niedermeier. Motion carried. Nelson moved that the Board commend chairman Roberts and the members of his committee for the most difficult task which they have under- taken and its accomplishments to date. Mo- tion was seconded by Emmons and approved.

Campbell moved that the applications for life membership in ADSA be approved as presented. The motion was seconded by Nieder o meier and approved.

Cruse presented a letter from a conference coordinator at the University of Arizona re- questing use of the mailing list of ADSA for the purpose of publicizing symposi 9. A motion was made and approved to deny the request.

A letter from Moore-Cottrell Subscription Agency requesting unlimited reprint rights due to the new copyright law was presented. A motion was made and approved to deny the request.

Vice President Blosser reviewed the struc- ture of the Internal Affairs Commit tee and re- quested a discussion on enlarging this com- mittee to four members rather than three. He proposed that the fourth member added be a retiring director. At this point Dunkley requested that the Membership and Long Range Planning Committee be discussed also. George Muck moved that t h e Vice President

appoint committees with assistance and with- out approval as he sees fit. CampbeI1 seconded the motion. Motion passed.

The Internal Affairs Committee will be enlarged from three to four members of the Board with the fourth member being a retired director. The Membership and Long Range Planning Committee will be changed to two committees with the Long Range Planning Committee consisting of three members in- cluding the Chairman. The second committee will be the Membership Committee of twelve, the Chairman and eleven members represented by regions.

President Dunkley presented correspondence and a peti t ion from James A. Gilmore and A. M. Smith of the University of Vermont for chapter membership and recognition by ADSA as a chapter student affiliate division under the name of the University of Vermont Dairy Club.

President Dunkley read a let ter from Owen R. Fennema, Chairman Department of Food Science, and R. P. Niedermeier, Chairman Department of Dairy Science, University of Wisconsin-Madison, which invited the American Dairy Science Association to hold their annual meeting in 1983 on the campus of the Univer- sity of Wisconsin, June 2 6 - 2 9 , 1983. A motion was made by Touchberry and seconded that we accept the invitation from the University of Wisconsin. Motion approved.

Future meetings: 1979--Utah State University, June 2 4 - 2 7 1980-Virginia Polytechnic Insti tute and

Campbell was charged with a revision of the policies and procedures governing the administration of awards in the American Dairy Science Association. Blosser presented to the Board a revision of this document and after a lengthy discussion, acceptance was deferred until the Board meeting on Thursday, July 13, in order that parts of the document could be clarified.

Vice President Blosser submitted a proposal

to the Board for the establishment of an Associ- ation committee to deal with the ADSA a- wards. The purpose would be to provide con- t inuity in the ongoing study of the various awards, relieve the Internal Affairs Committee of the annual policing of awards purposes, procedures, and policies, and to lighten the load on the Vice President of ADSA. After a lengthy discussion a motion was made to table any action on the establishment of this com- mittee until the meeting of the Board on Thursday, July 13, 1978.

Vice President Blosser presented the Board with correspondence between Michael Oberland and himself with regards to West Agro-Chemical Company sponsoring an annual award to be administered by ADSA. The original purpose of the award was to recognize research achieve- ment in the area of mastitis. At the Executive Committee meeting in October 1977, it was suggested that this area was too narrow and that West Agro-Chemical Company be con- tacted to broaden this award. A proposal was made and accepted to broaden the award to recognize research achievement in the area of mastitis control, milking management, and milk production practices which effect milk quality. The broadening of this award was accepted, and agreement was made that the first award would be presented at the 1979 annual meeting of ADSA. Campbell moved the West Agro-Chemical Company be notified that the annual award consisting of $1000 and a plaque was accepted. The motion was sec- onded by Foreman and approved.

The Board of Directors discussed affiliation with the American Association for the Accredi- tation of Laboratory Animal Care, Interna- tional Dairy Federation, American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Nutritional Council of AFMA. The Board reaffirmed the policy of open channel and communication with these organizations. It denied the AAALA request for financial support.

The Board approved the publishing of a membership directory in 1979 to be distributed to the members of ADSA at no cost. They further approved the development of a mem- bership certificate being offered to the mem- bers upon request at cost. The estimated cost at present is $3 per membership certificate with typed name and $5 if the name is hand- lettered.

President Dunkley called for any new business; there being none, the meeting was adjourned at 1735.

Minutes of the 73rd Annual Business Meet- ing of ADSA held on July 12 will follow.

Minutes of the Board of Directors Meeting held on July 13 will follow.

Executive Committee: The ADSA Execu- tive Committee met in Lincolnwood, Illinois, beginning at 1530 h on October 19 to conduct interim affairs of the association. Those present were W. L. Dunkley, T. H. Blosser, R. P. Niedermeier, L. G. Harmon, C. J. Cruse, and R. A. Schmidt.

Dunkley presented an agenda which was reviewed and accepted, at which time comments

1342 J O U R N A L OF DA1R Y SCIENCE

were called from members of the Executive Committee.

Niedermeier reported that he had completed the necessary correspondence as the inmediate Past President of the Association. This included letters of appreciation for time and effort to the retiring chairmen of the various committees and donors of the awards administered by. ADSA.

Blosser responded that the Internal Affairs Committee, consisting of John Nelson, John Campbell, and himself, was in the process of updating the material that would be used for the select-ion committees for the 1978 awards.

Harmon commented that as Treasurer of ADSA, he had nothing to bring before the Executive Committee with regard to finances of the Association.

Cruse reported that based on a review of income and expenses as of September 30, 1977, it appeared that income would be more and expenses less than budgeted for;therefore, the financial status for the fiscal year would be greatly improved. He further reported that Mrs. Emma Weber, having completed ten years of employment on September 1, 1977, would terminate her employment at the end of the year.

The ever increasing concern on the matter of liability insurance was discussed at length. The Association carries a liability insurance that covers it in event of a lawsuit against ADSA, but the policy carried by ADSA does not cover any personal injury to those attend-

ing an annual meeting. Todd Dawson of Hog- gart-Dawson Insurance Agency, Champaign, Illinois, recommended no off-campus activities; he also recommended transportation be by public carrier with proof of insurance from the carrier. Cruse was instructed to further discuss liability insurance with Todd Dawson and a local attorney and to take whatever steps were necessary to provide ADSA with ade- quate coverage.

Correspondence from William Durfey re- garding the NAAB award was next to be dis- cussed. Inasmuch as ASAS had declined NAAB's offer of alternating the award between ASAS and ADSA, the award was reinstated for ADSA for 1978. Durfey indicated this matter would again be discussed by the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee would be advised of their action. The mat- ter of appointment for a Selection Com- mittee and the selection process for a recipient was explained in detail to Durfey. It was further reported that each recipient of the NAAB award had been a member of ASAS as well as ADSA.

The Executive Committee of ADSA re- viewed and confirmed the 1978 salary schedule as was drawn up at the spring meeting of the Executive Committee held in April, 1977. The Committee set the salaries for the Execu- tive Secretary and the Assistant Executive Secretary with an appropriation in the salary budget for merit raises for other employees of ADSA.

At this point a discussion was held as wheth- er an ex-officio member of a committee had voting rights. It was a general consensus of the Executive Committee that an ex-officio mem- ber of any committee had voting rights unless it was specifically stated that he was an ex- officio member without voting rights. This question arose from concern as to whether the Treasurer, as an ex-officio member of the Executive Committee, had voting rights. In the absence of a statement in the minutes of previous meetings, it was concluded that the Treasurer, ex-officio member of the ADSA Executive Committee, did have voting rights.

Cruse stated that as Executive Secretary, he is an ex-officio member and has, from the time of his appointment, been under the impression that he was not a voting member of the Board, nor could he make recommenda-

tions for Board action. By mutual agreement, this topic will be continued.

Dunkley reviewed the action taken on resolutions passed at the annual meeting and his attendance at the Northeast Division Annual Meeting. He also brought the Executive Com- mittee up to date on the discussions held at the ASAS Annual Meeting in Madison, Wiscon- sin, with regards to the 1978 joint meeting of ADSA and ASAS.

Blosser reported on the progress of the Internal Affairs Commit tee as to revision of the material used in selecting recipients for the annual awards. The general policies and procedures governing the monetary awards were revised and the individual statements for each award were being revised for use by the Selection Committee for the naming of 1978 recipients. The revisions of the ADSA Handbook assigned to the Internal Affairs Committee was in progress, but due to the tremendous amount of work involved, there was no report on the revision of this hand- book at the time of the meeting.

The recently appointed Research Com- mittee, chaired by William M. Roberts, North Carolina State University, had reported on the progress of their committee. The Committee had been quite active since the annual meeting and several meetings were scheduled for the early part of November with the goal in mind to obtain more support for dairy products research from the many different sources.

The Membership and Long Range Planning

Committee, consisting of George Muck, R. W. Touchberry, and C. Fred Foreman as chairman, had met and submitted a preliminary report recommending the appointment of regional chairmen in seven areas. The Executive Com- mittee recommended that Foreman be en- couraged to proceed with the preliminary plan for the appointment of regional chair- men with the report being made available for the spring meeting of the Executive Commit- tee.

Blosser and Niedermeier reported on the progress of the Research Committee and a discussion was held with regards to appoint- ing an intersociety research committee with Poultry Science and Animal Science parti- cipating.

Dunkley presented a proposal for an ADSA research scholarship program with the ob- jectives being 1) to foster research related to high priori ty needs of the dairy industry, 2) to aid in developing and maintaining exper- tise of university faculty in the fields of dairy science and dairy technology, and 3) to en- courage promising students to prepare for careers in the dairy industry through gradu- ate study, including conducting research on dairy subjects. The Executive Commit tee dis- cussed the proposal but no action was taken.

The Executive Committee considered a re- quest from George Shook for reimbursement of travel expenses for the representative to the National DHI coordinating group. Although the representative is appointed by the Produc- tion Division, the Committee considered this as a special situation and approved reimburse- ment of travel expenses when other support is not available.

Dunkley read to the Committee a letter from Michael Oberlander, West Agro-Chemical Incorporated, in which an award was offered for outstanding achievement in the field of mastitis research to be administered by ADSA. The Committee decided against adding this award to the ADSA award program because of the relatively narrow field specified for the proposed award.

The Committee discussed a request from John W. Sliter for ADSA to be represented at a meeting with industry to pursue U.S. affiliation with the International Dairy Federa- tion. Dunkley stated he would be in Ireland at the time of the meeting and he asked Har-

Journal of Dairy Science Vol. 61, No. 9

1344 JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE

mon to represent ADSA and if he was unable to do so, Bob Niedermeier. In the event neither Harmon nor Niedermeier could attend John Nelson was to be asked to represent ADSA.

There being no further business to discuss at this time, the Executive Committee meeting adjourned to reconvene at 0800 on October 20 for the purpose of attending a meeting of ADSA-ASAS representatives with regards to the joint annual meeting at Michigan State in July 1978.

Executive Committee: The Executive Sec- retary announced the recipients of the various awards administered by ADSA as follows:

American Feed Manufacturers Award-N. A. Jorgensen

Award of Honor-N. L. Jacobson Borden Award-M. P. Bryant Dairy Research Foundation Award--Norman

Olson DeLaval Extension Award--C. L. Pelissier Distinguished Service Award-G. W.

Salisbury Kraft Inc. Award--Ed Custer National Association of Animal Breeders

Award--R. E. Erb Richard M. Hoyt Memorial Award-J . E.

Wohlt Pfizer, Inc. Award-Gary Richardson Ralston Purina Teaching Award in Produc-

t ion -D. E. Otterby The Executive Committee reviewed the

membership classification of life and honorary members. Honorary members in ADSA are those who received the ADSA Award of Honor. Life membership is available to members in good standing who retire after being a member for 25 years or without retirement having been a member of ADSA for 40 years. If a life mem- ber wishes to receive the Journal, he is expected to pay the annual dues. Honorary members receive the Journal of Dairy Science without the payment of annual dues.

The Executive Secretary discussed the Division committees being omitted from the September 1977 issue of the Journal. The Executive Secretary was instructed to contact the chairmen of the Production and Dairy Foods Research Divisions, Industry and Busi- ness, and Dairy Foods Research Sections requesting committee appointments be re- ceived in the National Office on or before August 15 in order to be included in the

September issue of the Journal o f Dairy Sci- ence along with the Association committee and representative appointments.

A motion was made and seconded to pub- lish an ADSA membership directory in 1979. The directory will list the complete name, mailing address, telephone number, and area of primary interest. It was further suggested that those listed in the directory in some man- ner be identified as to whether they are honor- ary, life, professional, or student members of ADSA.

The Committee received two requests for travel expenses for invited speakers, one in the Dairy Foods program and the other in the Milk Synthesis program. A request was made for $225 for the Milk Synthesis and $350 for the Dairy Foods program and Nieder- meier moved approval of these requests, sec- onded by Blosser, motion carried.

The next item to be discussed was the action that would be necessary on the part of the ADSA Board of Directors in the event that George Muck was elected as Vice Presi- dent. This would result in a vacancy on the Board to be filled by an appointment for a two year term and approved by the Board of Directors. It was suggested that in the event of George Muck becoming Vice Presi- dent, either Jim Martin or Ed Egermeier be appointed to fill the vacancy. Dunkley pointed out that this would still give both academia and industry representation on the Board. The Committee approved Dunkley polling the Board by mail after the results of the election were known naming the runner-up to be appointed to fill the vacancy.

There being no further business to come before the Executive Committee, the next item was the appointment of the ADSA Com- mittees and Representatives for the year 1978-79. Appointing of the committees was led by Vice President T. H. Blosser.

Nelson moved the minutes of the Executive Committee meeting held October 19-20, 1977 be approved. The motion was seconded by Campbell and passed.

The Executive Committee of the Board met in Champaign, Illinois, on April 13 and 14, 1978 to receive, review, and form recom- mendations on the annual committee and representative reports and conduct interim affairs of the Association. Those present were:

Journal of Dairy Science Vol. 61, No. 9

W. L. Dunkley, President, T. H. Blosser, Vice President, R. P. Niedermeier, Past President, L. G. Harmon, Treasurer, C. J. Cruse, Execu- tive Secretary, and R. A. Schmidt, Assistant Executive Secretary.

The minutes of the Executive Committee meeting held October 19 and 20, 1977 in Lincolnwood, Illinois, were presented and corrections or changes were called for. There being none, the minutes were approved and the Executive Secretary was instructed to circu- late the minutes to the full Board along with the annual ADSA committee and representa- tive reports.

L. G. Harmon, ADSA Treasurer, presented the annual financial report for the fiscal year 1977 as prepared by Dean D. Lafferty of Virgil F. Lafferty & Sons, Champaign, Illinois. The balance sheet revealed a total net worth as of December 31, 1977 of $283,838.00 as com- pared to $224,986.00 as of December 31, 1976. A net gain for ADSA before taxes was $58,851.00. At the end of the fiscal year 1977 there was a total of $255,449.00 in interest bearing accounts compared to $208,753.00 at the close of the fiscal year 1976. The Execu- tive Committee reviewed the financial report in detail and discussed at some length the investments of ADSA. The Executive Secre- tary reported that recent investments were placed in certificate of deposits for a period of six years earning an interest rate of 7 ¾%. He also stated that he did not like to see money invested for more than a six year period due to the changing interest rates even though some investments are out for a considerably longer term. L. G. Harmon moved acceptance of the Treasurer's report with the commendat ion of the Executive Secretary and Assistant Executive Secretary for the resl~onsible man- ner in which they are handling the Association affairs. The motion was seconded and ap- proved. A motion was made and approved that in view of the financial status, fees levied for service charges to participating organiza- tions and current charge for composit ion of the journals be retained at the same level for the fiscal year 1979. The current fee for service charge is $4.00 per individual and the composition charge is $20.00 per page.

W. L. Dunkley led the discussion with re- gards to the disposition of submitted reports. The original reports submitted by the commit-

tee chairmen and representatives are on file in the National Office of ADSA. The Execu- tive Committee received and reviewed, individ- ually, all reports received from committee chairmen and representatives through April 12. W. L. Dunkley assumed the responsibility of acknowledging each of the reports setting forth to the commit tee chairmen and repre- sentatives actions and recommendations of the Executive Committee to the Board of Directors regarding these reports.
