ADSA Board of Directors 1986-1987: Seated 1 to r. L. H. Schultz, Treasurer; G. H. Richardson, Vice President: D. L. Bath, President; N. F. Olson, Past President, and Carla Hagenow, President Student Affiliate Division. Standing 1 to r. R. A. Schmidt, Assistant Executive Secretary; N. A. Jorgensen, R. L. Sellars, J. M. White, Directors: G. H. Schmidt, Associate Editor: J. H. Clark, C. H. White. Directors, and C. D. Johnson, Executive Secretary.

Reorganization of the Board

President Olson called the meeting to order June 26, 1986, at 8:30 a.m. Newly elected Vice President, G. H. Richardson, Utah State Univer- sity; Directors, N. A. Jorgensen, University of Wisconsin, and R. L. Sellars, Chr. Hansen's Laboratory, Inc., Milwaukee, WI; and Treasurer, L. H. Schultz, University of Wisconsin, were welcomed to the Board.

Larry Guthrie, ADSA representative to Amer- ican Registry of Professional Animal Scientists (ARPAS), appeared before the Board to make a few comments concerning ARPAS and their meeting. There are approximately 600 members of ARPAS, almost 100% of which are members also of PSA, ASAS, or ADSA. The 1986 meet- ing will be the second annual meeting of the organization; initially meetings were held in con- junction with either PSA, ASAS, or ADSA. Next year ARPAS hopes to hold its meeting independently. Virgil Hayes is President, Irv Omtvedt is incoming President, Walt Woods, Past President, and Jim Williamson, President- Elect. In the past year, the certification commit-

tee has been extremely active. One concern is that professionals maintain credibility to assure the public that those people that purport to be experts are truly professional animal scientists. This goal is being met. Guthrie expressed his appreciation to ADSA for its support and affili- ation with ARPAS.

Next Bob Marshall and Rex Ricketts spoke to the Board on the status of next year's meeting at Missouri. Committees have been identified, rooms blocked, and arrangements are proceed- ing well at this point.

Olson introduced Carla Hagenow, new Stu- dent Affiliate Division President, from Univer- sity of Wisconsin.

Olson presented resolutions on behalf of Bob Appleman, chairperson of the Resolutions Com- mittee, for consideration by the Board. Charles White moved and Jorgensen seconded to accept the Resolutions as presented. Motion passed.

At this point, the meeting was turned over to the incoming President, Don Bath. As the first order of business, Bath requested approval for

2503

2504 JOURNAL OF D A I R Y SCIENCE

the appointment of L. H. Schultz as Treasurer for the next 3 years. John White moved and Charles White seconded the appointment of Schultz as Treasurer. Motion passed.

Bath mentioned that Larry Harmon had asked to be relieved of his duties as Historian due to illness. The Executive Committee had asked Walt Dunkley to serve as ADSA Historian and he had agreed to do so.

Next Bath presented charges to the Internal Affairs Committee: 1) evaluate and recommend changes in the fee structure for Sustaining Mem- bers that will benefit both ADSA and the Sustain- ing Member category; 2) recommend a proce- dure for ensuring that the annual meeting plan- ning guidelines are updated annually and made available to future host institutions; 3) evaluate the possibility of providing liability insurance to members through the ADSA organization; 4) recommend a proactive procedure to ensure adequate numbers of qualified nominees for all ADSA awards. Richardson, chairperson of the committee, said he also had additional items for the committee, and those would be brought be- fore the Board after committee work. Bath asked the Internal Affairs Committee to work with Johnson to work out the details before the Oc- tober Executive Committee meeting. Richardson moved and Charlie White seconded that the Internal Affairs develop a detailed plan for Sustaining Members and that the Executive Committee be authorized to act upon that plan at its October meeting. Motion carried.

Olson introduced Ed Legates, who presented an update on the Intersociety Council Sym- posium on Food Animal Research to be held November 2 to 4, 1986 in Lexington, KY. ADSA has pledged $3400 in support of this symposium. Legates said the symposium had been in the planning for 2.5 years. The committee's goal was to build upon the 1980 Boyne Mountain Conference. Objectives of the conference, as stated in the symposium program, are "1) to foster an understanding of the importance of food animal research and its potential contribu- tion to human welfare; 2) to provide decision makers with information on the potential bene- fits and contributions of animal research; 3) to emphasize the urgency for enhanced funding support to pursue this research to strengthen the competitive position of US animal agriculture and animal products." Attendees will participate in one of four workshops: 1)Increasing Effi-

ciency Through Improved Reproduction; 2) Reg- ulation of Protein Synthesis in Animals; 3) In- creasing Efficiency Through Improved Nutri- tion; 4) Animal Products Processing and Accep- tability. Attendance is by invitation and is antici- pated to be near 200. Each session will define three to five research imperatives. The final con- cern is to increase funding for scientific research, if not in dollars, then in proportion. Proceedings of the conference will be available.

Next Bath appointed a committee for long- range budget planning that would consider such items as the Sustaining Member issue, etc. and would work with the Internal Affairs Committee on those issues. He appointed Schultz as chair- person, and committee members John Campbell, Bob Sellars, Bob Marshall, Jimmy Clark, and Carl Johnson.

Then Bath appointed Board representatives: to the Student Affiliate Division, John Parsons; to the Journal Management Committee, John White; and to the Membership Committee, Jimmy Clark and Bob Sellars.

Kim Kriebel and Carla Hagenow presented recommendations for appointments to commit- tees: to the Ralston PurinaTeaching Award Selec- tion Committee, Wendy Lamont, The Pennsyl- vania State University; to the Milk Industry/ Kraft Teaching Award Selection Committee, Nanette Emery, University of Wisconsin; to the Program Committee, Carla Hagenow, University of Wisconsin; and to the Undergraduate Scholar- ship Recognition Committee, Sean Tolonaar, California Polytechnic State University.

Ed Jaster, University of Illinois, from the Pro- duction Division, and Ray Speckman, Univer- sity of Illinois, from the Dairy Foods Division, had been appointed to the Graduate Student Paper Contest Committees.

October meeting dates at the Kings Inn, St. Louis, were announced: they are October 15, Executive Committee; October 16, Intersociety Council; October 17, Program Committee and Management Services Policy Committee.

Bath called for other business. Johnson men- tioned that in April the Executive Committee requested him to obtain a safety deposit box for the storage of Association documents; keys would be held by the Assistant Executive Secret- ary, Executive Secretary, and the ADSA Presi- dent. A motion was needed from the Board of Directors in order to do this. Clark moved and Jorgensen seconded that Johnson obtain a safety

ASSOCIATION AFFAIRS 2505

deposit box for the storage of ADSA documents. Motion carried.

Glen Schmidt asked if funds needed to be approved for a fall meeting of the Journal Man- agement Committee. A fall meeting of the com- mittee had already been budgeted and approved.

Ernstrom said that the committee had consi- dered at great length the prepublication issue. Representatives from the National Mastitis Council presented their views on this topic. Pre- publication was debated again in the meeting with the Editorial Board. The Journal Manage- ment Committee thought a compromise could be reached that would satisfy most parties; a final decision was postponed until the fall meet- ing. The committee will try to solicit other input in the interim and formulate a policy in the fall.

Olson said that at their fall meeting the Execu- tive Committee should act on the recommenda- tions of the Journal Management Committee or circulate these recommendations to the Board for a mail ballot so that policies could be enacted as soon as possible. Clark moved and Charles White seconded that the Executive Committee mail a ballot on these issues to the Board; this would include the statement that would be pub- lished on prior publication. Motion passed.

Jorgensen mentioned that the Program Com- mittee would be impacted by the decision on Sustaining Members and would need to be ad- vised very soon; that committee needs to begin to solicit funds and develop programs within a few weeks of the annual meeting. Several poten- tial problems were discussed, and Bath urged Richardson's committee to consider these when drafting their proposal.

Sellars asked if symposia speakers needed to provide an abstract; an abstract is needed. Sellars also asked about requirements for audiovisual materials. Some speakers had inferior slides; sev- eral other organizations have guidelines, and such guidelines would improve the quality of slides. The national office might want to develop these if none exist.

Charles White mentioned that he had a prop- osal to the National Dairy and Research Board for scanning equipment for the scorecards that was compatible with personal computers. This equipment would eliminate coaches acting as judges of the scorecards. If funding was not available, the Dairy Foods Division would like ADSA to consider purchase of this equipment.

Schultz asked about the bulk drug sales issue.

Bath had asked Barry Stevens at the Production Division meeting to discuss it with the Health Committee; Roger Natzke then contacted Bath that during their discussions the opinion was that ADSA needed to do nothing if it wanted the proposal dropped; otherwise publicity was needed. A decision was made to do nothing at this time.

Sellars said he had received good reaction to the change in abstracts, which eliminated key words and put three abstracts on each page.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

ADSA EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES

April 23-24, 1986 Champaign, IL

The ADSA Executive Committee met in the National Office of ADSA on April 23-24, 1986 to conduct the interim affairs of the Association. Those present were N. E Olson, President; D. L. Bath, Vice President; B. R. Baumgardt, Past President; L. H. Schultz, Treasurer-Elect; Carl Johnson, Executive Secretary; and R. A. Schmidt, Assistant Executive Secretary.

The meeting was called to order at 8:30 a.m. and the first order of business was the approval of the minutes of the October 1985 Executive Committee Meeting. Bath moved and Baum- gardt seconded approval of the October minutes. Motion approved.

Schmidt reported on the updated 1986 budget. Number of anticipated pages for 1986 Journal of Dairy Science was revised downward. Travel was up. Anticipated gain for 1986 was $34,000. Schmidt reminded the committee that the purchase of the IBM computers appeared on the 1985 budget and that the 1986 budget in- cluded $10,000 for consulting and additional computer equipment needed. Schmidt asked for acceptance of the revised budget; budget ac- cepted.

Johnson reported on progress in selecting an auditor for ADSA. At the meeting last October the Executive Committee requested that three bids be obtained. However, the financial state- ment was not prepared for the National Office until April 18, 1985. Johnson said he would pro- ceed in obtaining bids. Bath moved and Baum- gardt seconded that Johnson use his judgment

Journal of Dairy Science Vol. 69, No. 9,'1986

2506 JOURNAL OF D A I R Y SCIENCE

to hire an auditor, the only stipulation being that the auditor be a CPA.

Olson led the discussion of committee re- ports. The following reports were reviewed, and as there were no recommendations for Board action, reports were approved as written: Dairy Foods Division by H. E. Swaisgood, Student Affiliate Division by K. Kriebel, Northeast Branch by H. E Tyrrell, Southern Branch by G. T. Lane, Editor-in-Chief by C. A. Ernstrom, Associate Editor by G. H. Schmidt, Interna- tional Relations Committee by K. A. Wilson, Historian by L. G. Harmon, Dairy Foods Divi- sion Graduate Paper Contest by D. E, Smith, Undergraduate Scholarship Recognition by G. L. Christen, Drugs, Chemicals, and Addi- tives by R. E Natzke, Education Committee by J.K. Hillers, and Research Committee by J. E. Legates.

The committee then considered ADSA com- mittee reports that requested Board action. The Production Division report was submitted by N. A. Jorgensen. He requested funds for 24- hour delivery of program abstracts, for travel of the Vice Chairperson to meet with the Chairper- son to assemble the division program, and for other annual meeting expenses listed in the re- port. These funds were already budgeted for in the 1985 budget, and no action was necessary.

The Report of the representative to the Animal Care Committee was submitted by J. L. Morrill, who recommended that ADSA terminate its fi- nancial support of the American Association for Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC). Chairperson Morrill reported that contributions by member societies will be ac- cepted but no longer expected. Morrill suggested that ADSA establish an annual budget for the Animal Care Committee to be used for travel to the meetings. Olson noted that the Board already has a policy to consider requests by ADSA rep- resentatives and committee members for funds to attend meetings. Schultz suggested that perhaps the budget item of committee travel could be added since amount needed could be estimated relatively easily. These funds would be surplus if they were not spent in any given year. Baumgardt moved to add to next year's budget a line item to provide for contingent com- mittee/representative expense. Bath seconded the motion. Motion approved.

Olson directed attention to the report of the Research Committee, submitted by J. E. Le-

gates. Olson reminded the committee of Board support of the planned Symposium on Food Ani- mal Research; $12,000 had already been pledged and budgeted for this purpose. No additional action was necessary.

Next was consideration of a request by Charles Kiddy for ADSA support for the Amer- ican Association for the Advancement of Science symposium: "Public Health Impact of Re- stricted Use of Antibiotics in Animals." Two levels of support were suggested: listing of ADSA as cosponsor 1) with no financial commit- ment, or 2) with financial support. The Execu- tive Committee agreed to be listed as a sym- posium cosponsor but did not pledge financial support.

The ADSA representatives to Council for Ag- ricultural Science and Technology (CAST), W. E Flatt and W. R. Gomes, requested finan- cial support for the new CAST magazine. Olson said this request would be considered as a sepa- rate agenda item.

Olson then directed attention to the report of the American Feed Industry Association (AFIA), which was formerly the American Feed Man- ufacturers Association. L. E. Chase, AFIA rep- resentative, requested $600 be budgeted in 1986 for travel of the representative to one of the two Nutrition Council meetings. Baumgardt moved and Bath seconded to approve this request. Mo- tion carried.

The report ofT. A. McCaskey was discussed next. The Fifth International Symposium on Ag- ricultural Wastes took place in 1985. Because the symposia are held at infrequent intervals, Bath thought a representative was not needed until closer to the next symposium,

Although no Board action was requested by the representative to the World Association for Animal Production (WAAP), Olson reminded the committee that the feeling of the past Execu- tive Committee had been that ADSA need not finance international travel for the WAAP repre- sentative.

W. S. La Grange, representative to the 3-A Standards Committee, requested travel expenses to attend that group's annual meeting. Bath moved and Baumgardt seconded to pay the ex- penses as requested. Motion carried.

K. L. Smith submitted the report of the Rep- resentative to the US Animal HealthAssociation. Smith recommended ADSA adopt a position of being opposed to the Center of Veterinary

Journal of Dairy Science Vol. 69, No. 9, 1986

ASSOCIATION AFFAIRS 2 5 0 7

Medicine's (CVM) bulk drug proposal and that ADSA communicate this opposition to the CVM by letter. The Executive Committee members thought they needed more information before making a decision. Bath said he would gather information on the subject before the June Board of Directors meeting.

No report was received by M. Cheryan or A. E. Freeman, ADSA representatives to US National Committee (USNAC) of the Interna- tional Dairy Federation (IDF). Although the Board had budgeted money for dues to IDF for 1986, a written request for funds was needed for 1987 membership dues. Olson said he would write both the ADSA representatives and IDF that they needed to request funds before the June meeting.

John Adams, from National Mastitis Council (NMC), explained that membership dues to NMC allowed ADSA to have four representa- tives, and Adams encouraged ADSA to take ad- vantage of that situation. Olson said he would write the NMC representatives to submit a report and a request for funds.

Olson said he had received a request from CAST to support its new magazine, Science of Food and Agriculture. After an initial fundrais- ing drive, the magazine was to be self-support- ing. The suggested amount of support for a so- ciety the size of ADSA was $3000 to $5000 over 2 years. After discussion, Bath moved that the Executive Committee recommend to the Board of Directors to support the CAST magazine with $1500 this year and $1500 next year for a total of $3000. Baumgardt seconded. Motion carried. Olson said he would write CAST and notify them that the Board of Directors would consider the request in June.

Due to a conflict, Baumgardt had to leave at this time and moved that Schultz be his proxy in the discussion that followed. Bath seconded. Motion carried.

Olson mentioned that he was going to request Board action on the appointments of Johnson as Executive Secretary and Schmidt as Assistant Executive Secretary. The action would consist of approving the minutes of the telephone confer- ence call. The appointments would be officially tendered in June.

Next the Executive Committee discussed where to keep the documents concerning the appointment of Johnson. Bath suggested that a safety deposit box would be more secure and

accessible than either the office safe or transfer through a succession of ADSA presidents. In addition, the safety deposit box could hold other documents of the Association, such as the agree- ments between ADSA and the other societies. Bath moved that a safety deposit box be obtained in the name of the association with keys held by the Executive Secretary and the President of ADSA. Schultz seconded. Motion carried.

Johnson discussed the progress of the office automation. The four IBM personal computers (PC's), the IBM XT, and the IBM AT were up and running. Johnson recommended additional software and hardware to handle anticipated needs for management services. Bath moved that the Executive Committee give management staff authorization to purchase hardware and software to accomplish the financial and management ser- vices needed with a maximum of $20,000 au- thorized. Schultz seconded. Motion carried.

Next the Executive Committee discussed the first Management Services Policy (MSP) Com- mittee Meeting held in March in Champaign. The meeting was thought to be beneficial for all concerned. In general, the participants were positive about recent progress in the National Office and the way the MSP Committee is evolv- ing. In its first meeting, the MSP Committee moved to include Johnson and Schmidt as non- voting members of the committee. Much of the first session was to determine committee func- tion; the committee is advisory rather than policy making.

Next discussed was the appointment of Johnson and/or Schmidt as Executive Secretary or some other title for other societies receiving management services. Olson mentioned that the title of the ADSA representative varied from organization to organization. In addition, some of the titles in the various constitutions and by- laws of the societies were in conflict with titles agreed to in the contracts between ADSA and those societies. Some societies were aware of this discrepancy but others needed to be in- formed. Olson requested Johnson and Schmidt define their roles and functions as they pertained to each of the societies before the June board meeting, when this topic would be discussed.

Bath presented the report of the Internal Af- fairs Committee. Bath distributed the most re- cent draft of the employee personnel policies and procedures manual to the Executive Com- mittee. Suggestions of Johnson, Schmidt, Nimz,

Journal o f Dairy Science Vol. 69, No. 9, 1986

2508 JO URNA L OF D A I R Y SCIENCE

and Gleichman were incorporated in the manual, and copies of the last revision would be sent to the Board for study before the annual meeting. Bath moved that the Executive Committee take the manual to the Board of Directors in June and then, pending approval, to implement the manual thereafter. Schultz seconded the motion; motion carried.

Bath had been contacted by Dick Harris, Pres- ident of the International Association of Ar- boriculture (IAA), who requested a copy of the employee manual. The Executive Committee had no objections to Bath sending them a copy. IAA had also inquired about ADSA management services, and Johnson said he would respond to that request for information.

The Internal Affairs Committee had been re- quested to consider whether additional memo- rials for Claude Cruse were necessary or approp- riate. The portrait of Claude was commissioned last year, the 1985 Annual Meeting dedicated to him, and a memorial fund established. Also, the Dairy Remembrance Fund had set up the mechanism for a scholarship in Claude's name upon the receipt of $500. The subcommittee re- commended no further memorials were needed. Bath received the recommendation and would forward it to the Board. Olson said he would contact Dairy Remembrance Fund to see how much money had been contributed in Claude's name and to publicize the fund again if addi- tional money was needed to establish the schol- arship. Schultz moved to recommend to the Board that ADSA transfer remaining monies con- tributed for Cruse's memorial to the Dairy Re- membrance Fund.

Bath reported on the status of the annual meet- ing guidelines for host institutions. After the annual meeting at Davis, that host committee will update and pass along the guidelines to the next institution. The Executive Committee dis- cussed formalization of procedures for transfer- ring the guidelines and agreed that guidelines should be sent to the national office after each meeting. The national office would then forward a copy of the guidelines to the next institution. It was hoped this procedure would prevent the loss or delay of delivery of the guidelines be- tween host institutions. National office staff agreed to send each member of the Board of Directors a copy of the guidelines for study be- fore the annual meeting when the guidelines would be considered for adoption.

Johnson presented award recipients for 1986. Mechanisms to ensure that all qualified candi- dates were nominated for awards were dis- cussed. Olson said he would contact divisional officers and suggest the divisions deal with this matter. Committees might be established to en- sure that oversight of individuals does not occur. No progress had been made on an international production award the past year. Bath said he would contact Lassiter and Hemken, who were charged with investigating the possibility of this award, so that the issue would not disappear.

Olson said he had contacted the various spon- sors concerning raising the stipends for awards. All but one had responded to date and most were willing to raise stipends to $1500 for the 1987 awards. Additional requirements relating to pro- cessing were added by the Executive Committee to the description of the Alfa-Laval Award to coincide with the sponsor's description of the award. Form D should be changed to reflect these changes.

Coppock suggested an award for the best pub- lished paper in each division. The Executive Committee did not take action because of 1) lack of donor and 2) difficulty of evaluation of all papers published because of volume and breadth of expertise required. Olson said he would write to Coppock and convey that information.

Bath discussed the progress of the annual meeting. He presented a list of special events and dinners, which had been compiled by Perry Cupps. Bath asked if the chair of the 1987 host planning committee had yet been named. Schmidt said he would find out. Bath asked if scientific organizations such as International As- sociation of Milk, Food and Environmental Sanitarians and other associations could display material. The Executive Committee thought that if the host institution had adequate space for such displays, they could be permitted. No com- mercial vendors are allowed at the meetings.

Olson led the discussion of future annual meeting invitations. Bath moved and Schultz seconded that the Executive Committee bring meeting invitations to the Board for acceptance. No invitation has been tendered for the 1991 meet- ing, although Maryland was a possibility. Olson would announce at the annual meeting that a site was needed for 1991.

There was no discussion of the late fee except to mention that it was in force for 1986.

The next topic was matters pertaining to the

Journal of Dairy Science Vol. 69, No. 9, 1986

ASSOCIATION AFFAIRS 2509

Journal Management Committee. The Executive Committee wanted the Journal Management Committee to reconsider its policy on prepubli- cation as outlined in the statement on ethics (J. Dairy Sci. 68:3124). The statement had gener- ated considerable correspondence from mem- bers. The Executive Committee thought the Jour- nal Management Committee should define more precisely what constituted prior publication and should consider the implications of any decision made on this subject.

The Executive Committee also wanted the Journal Management Committee to consider ad- vertising in the journal. Advertising has not been sought in recent years, but this could be a sub- stantial source of revenue. Perhaps advertising coordinated with subject matter would appeal to potential advertisers.

Funds were requested by the Conference on Food Protection, the Triangle Coalition for Sci- ence and Technology Education, and the Toledo Zoo. Olson said he would write these organiza- tions and inform them ADSA could not partici- pate because of budgetary constraints.

Schmidt reported that 28 of 31 Sustaining Members had renewed so far for 1986. The In- ternal Affairs Committee will be asked to reap- point a committee to evaluate the Sustaining Memberships and to recommend changes that will enhance its usefulness to member com- panies and to ADSA.

Olson asked whether the Risk Management Insurance had been obtained. This insurance would offer directors and officers liability insur- ance should suit ever be brought against them because of their ADSA responsibilities. Johnson was still receiving cost estimates from com- panies; the first estimate received seemed high, and additional estimates were being sought. Olson asked Johnson to bring all quotations re- ceived by June to the Board at the annual meet- ing.

Olson reported that Baumgardt had conveyed to him that the Provimi lawsuit had been settled with charges against the defendent being dropped.

Baumgardt had also directed a concern about germplasm management to the attention of the Executive Committee via letter. The Intersociety Council requested the US Department of Ag- riculture and National Academy of Sciences look

at the question of preserving animal germplasm. Olson asked Bath to refer the issue to the Produc- tion Division for study.

On a related topic, Bath had received a letter from Joe Fontenot concerning management of genetic resources. Bath referred the letter to N. A. Jorgensen and discussed the matter with him by phone. Bath also wrote to Gene Freeman and requested that he review the material out- lined in Fontenot's letter and respond directly to Fontenot with a copy of the letter to Bath.

Fontenot and the Intersociety Council wrote the various societies to support the Board of Agriculture in developing guidelines for animal care. Baumgardt expressed the view that the scientific community should take the lead to develop appropriate guidelines for the care and use of farm animals in research and teaching. The time required and the cost to complete the study should be considered in selecting a lead group. Olson wrote Fontenot that ADSA was supportive of developing guidelines. Schultz mentioned that Oltjen, Clay Center, Nebraska, had developed guidelines for the care of farm animals.

Olson mentioned that as ADSA President he received a large amount of correspondence that required considerable time to prepare responses because of the variety of topics. He suggested that the Vice President might better be able to handle some of this correspondence or that the President and Vice President might share some of the correspondence of this sort, especially if the correspondence concerned issues of primar- ily either the processing or production areas. This responsibility could be informal since the President can delegate duties, or it could be for- malized. Bath said he would consider the matter.

Schmidt noted that the length of the biog- raphical information in support of candidates for ADSA office had been increasing each year. He suggested the length of each biography be li- mited. Schultz moved and Bath seconded that the length of the April biographicals be limited to whatever length the staff determined approp- riate.

There being no further business, the meeting adjourned until the next morning when appoint- ments to ADSA committees and appointments of ADSA representatives to other organizations were completed by the Executive Committee.

81ST ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING OF ADSA

N. F. Olson, President, called the 8lst Annual Business Meeting to order at 11:00 a.m., June 26, 1986. Kim Kriebel was appointed parliamen- tarian.

R. W. Touchberry reported on attendance at the 81st Annual Meeting.

Olson then introduced the incoming officers: President, D. L. Bath, University of California- Davis; Vice President, G. H. Richardson, Utah State University, Logan; Directors, N . A . Jorgensen, University of Wisconsin; R. L. Sel- lars, Chr.Hansen's Labs, Milwaukee, WI; Trea- surer, L. H. Schultz, University of Wisconsin. Officers of the Southern Branch, until February 1987, are President, J. A. Collins, Vice Presi- dent, H. H. Van Horn, and Secretary-Treasurer, D .W. Webb. Officers from the Northeast Branch, until July 1986, were: President, H. E Tyrrell, Vice President, C. G. Schwab, and Sec- retary-Treasurer, S. J. Lyford. Officers of the Student Affiliate Division were introduced: Pres- ident, Carla Hagenow, First Vice President, Chris Reiland, Secretary, Dan Gauss, and Tony Achacoso, First Year Advisor.

Bath reported on the actions of the Board of Directors (these actions are reported in detail on the preceding pages).

Campbell presented the Treasurer's report for the calendar year ending in 1985. Campbell ex- pressed his appreciation for the opportunity to serve as Association Treasurer. During his term in office the lawsuit was finalized, the office was automated, and trying to keep the budget balanced was a challenge. In 1986 to 1987, the Association will try to put together a detailed, long-range plan. Also, after the computeriza- tion, the Association will be in a better position to do cost accounting. The current 1986 budget was approved by the Executive Commitee in October 1985; although there will be some minor modification of that, the projected balance is + 34,600. The projected budget of 1987, which

of course will be modified by the Executive Committee as it sees fit, shows a projected posi- tive balance of only $13,000. Based on Board action last Saturday, there will be a $5 member- ship increase effective January 1, 1987. For those members who pay their dues by December 1, membership will go from $35 to $40. Student membership is half the amount of regular mem- bership. Institutional membership dues will be raised $10 from the current $65 to $75. This increase should generate approximately $30,000 in new income, increasing the budget balance to $43,000. Campbell moved acceptance of the report as printed and distributed. Motion sec- onded; motion carried.

Carl Johnson presented the Executive Secre- tary's report. Johnson talked about the future year at the ADSA headquarters. Office staff would be working on computerized typesetting, creating the data field for membership direc- tories, other membership information, and em- ployment records. In addition to these areas, Johnson will be giving priority to membership growth, generating new sources of revenue, creating new projects and manuscript tracking systems, and obtaining additional societies for management services.

Production Division Report. N. A. Jorgen- sen, Chairperson, presented his report. There were 388 abstracts accepted for presentation in the Production Division Program, the largest number in its 86-year history, and it created good news and bad news. The good news was that members of the association were involved in our meeting. The bad news was that it put stress on our host institution to meet our requests for which they did an excellent job. Fifty-one of these abstracts were presented as posters; 19 were presented in the Graduate Student Paper Presentation Contest. There were 8 invited pa- pers and 7 symposia including 25 papers sched- uled for presentation. One symposium was jointly sponsored by the Dairy Foods Division. The Production Division program was conducted on a budget of $1800 from ADSA and $6150 from outside funds. New Production Division officers are: L. D. Muller, Pennsylvania State University, Chairperson, Murray Elliot, Cornell University, Vice Chairperson, and Jerry Young, Iowa State University, Secretary. Carl Coppock, Texas A&M University, was elected to the Pro- duction Division Council this year and Neil Jorgensen moved up to Director, Production Di-

vision. The Production Division passed four res- olutions that were referred to the Resolutions Committee for action. Funds totaling $1060 have been requested from ADSA Board of Directors and that was approved for planning of the 1987 Production Division program. Jorgensen moved for acceptance of the report. Motion seconded; motion carried.

Dairy Foods Division Report. H. E. Swais- good, Chairperson, presented his report. The 1986 Dairy Foods Division Program has been very successful. The number of original papers presented was 121, nearly the same number pre- sented at the 1985 meeting, and only slightly less than those given in 1983, the record year. The quality of the papers presented has been good and the attendance excellent. Our division sponsored four symposia, one jointly with the Production Division. All these were supported by funds other than ADSA funds. The symposia and sponsors were as follows: 1) Cheese Ripen- ing and Technology by the National Dairy Prom- otion and Research Board; 2) Biotechnology in the Dairy Industry, for which no funds were required; 3) Calcium and Calcium-Binding Pro- teins, sponsored by the Dairy Council of Califor- nia; and 4) Issues in Dairy Education, sponsored by Dairy Research Foundation. Because funds were available, each of these symposia featured internationally renowned speakers and the re- sponse to these symposia solicited from the membership has been indicative of their success, and we sincerely express our thanks and appreci- ation to these sponsors.

A number of items of business were consi- dered and recommendations approved at our an- nual business meeting. The membership ap- proved the further exploration of holding analyt- ical week, sponsored by the USNAC/IDF Com- mittee in conjunction with 1988 Annual Meeting in Canada. Membership unanimously supported the format for the abstracts of the meeting. The membership approved two changes in the Divi- sion's by-laws. First, in Section 1B was a minor change in the wording to clarify succession of an elected Council member to Chair or Secretary of the Council; the second, in Section 4A, makes the Chairperson-Elect of the Council the Vice Chairperson of the Program Committee. The membership also approved the function of a can- vassing committee for the division awards con- sisting of the Council, the Chairs, and the Chairs of the Selection Committee. Last, the member-

ship endorsed in principle the establishment of a new divisional committee in the area of dairy starter cultures. The Dairy Foods Division ex- presses its gratitude to University of California and the local arrangements committee for the hard work which greatly contributed to the suc- cess of this meeting. To all the division officers, and committee members, organizers, and sec- tion chairpersons, I express my sincere appreci- ation for this successful year and also to Bob Sellars, the general Program Chairperson, I ex- press my sincere gratitude for his advice and counsel, which I sought regularly throughout the year. And finally, appreciation is expressed to the membership, whose continued support was responsible for the success of this meeting. Swaisgood moved adoption of his report. Mo- tion seconded; motion passed.

Student Affiliate Division Report. Kim Kriebel, President of the Student Affiliate Divi- sion, presented the report. Once again, the Stu- dent Affiliate Divison had a very successful meeting. This year's meetings were dedicated to Susan Durrer, who served this past year as First Vice President. Sue died as a result of a car accident. Sixteen chapters were represented by nearly 100 participants, students, and advisors. We conducted two business meetings and had a very successful activities symposium. Our Graduate Paper Presentation Contest had 13 top- notch entries. This year the division initiated the Chapter Yearbook Contest, which was won by California Polytechnic State University. The Overall Outstanding Chapter Contest was won by The Pennsylvania State University. The Stu- dent Affiliate Divison meetings are a very good opportunity for these students to become af- filiated with a professional organization such as ADSA. Next year I wish Carla and the rest of the officers a very successful year Kriebel moved acceptance of the report. Motion sec- onded; motion carried.

Appleman moved acceptance of the report. Motion seconded; motion carried.

As an item of new business, R. D. Bremel, University of Wisconsin, asked whether the Jour- nal Management Committee had considered the idea of going to a larger size page format to save cost of printing per page. A number of journals have gone to a larger size format for primarily economic reasons. Initial page cost, page charges, and reprint costs would be approx- imately 25% less. This topic should be investi- gated by the Journal Management Committee. Bremel was unsure how to input into that com- rnittee. Emstrom, Editor-in-Chief, said sugges- tions of this sort should be forwarded to the Chairperson of the committee, this year E. M. Mikolojacik, Ohio State University. The commit- tee will be meeting in September and would be able to consider that item as well as others al- ready on the agenda.

Olson passed the gavel to Bath. Bath accepted the gavel and thanked Olson for his efforts and many accomplishments as president. There being no further business, Bath adjourned the meeting.
