Two receive Coolidge Award

Two of the AAE's outstanding mem- bers, Dr. Maynard K. Hine of Indian- apolis and Dr. F. Darl Ostrander of Ann Arbor, are the 1983 recipients of the Edgar D. Coolidge Award, which rec- ognize them for their outstanding con- tributions to endodontics, the Associ- ation, and the community.

Dr. Hine, a founder and diplomate of the AAE, is chancellor emeritus of In- diana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis and professor emeritus of periodontology. Previously he had served as a professor and head of oral histopathology and periodontics de- partment, dean of the Indiana Univer- sity School of Dentistry, and chancellor of Indiana University and Indiana Uni- versity-Purdue University.

Dr. Hine, who received his DDS and MS degrees from the University of Illi- nois in 1930 and 1932, respectively, holds honorary degrees from seven universities. As the AAE's fifth presi- dent, he was instrumental in founding the American Board of Endodontics. Long active in organized dentistry, he has served as president of several or- ganizations, including the ADA, Amer- ican Association of Dental Schools, Federation Dentaire Internationale, and American Association of Dental Edi- tors. Co-author of five dental text- books, he was editor of the Journal of Periodontology from 1950 to 1970 and interim editor of the Journal of Dental Research in 1975 and 1976.

Dr. Ostrander, who served as the AAE's tenth president from 1952 to 1953, was also director of the Ameri- can Board of Endodontics from 1956

to 1963. He is professor emeritus at the University of Michigan where he received his DDS, MS, and taught since 1934.

A diplomate of the Board, he has been an active member in many dental organizations. From 1961 to 1966, Dr. Ostrander served as the speaker for the ADA House of Delegates and held that office when endodontics was rec- ognized as a dental specialty. After his term as speaker, Dr. Ostrander was elected the 104th president of the ADA, serving from 1967 to 1968.

A past president of the American Association of Dental Editors, Dr. Os- trander was editor of the Michigan Dental Association Journal from 1949 to 1957. He is the co-author of the widely used textbook Clinical Endo- dontics.

Dr. Lasala recognized for endodontic contributions

Dr. Angel Lasala of Maracaibo, Ven- ezuela, is the recipient of a special certificate of merit from the AAE. The Association presented the certificate to Dr. Lasala for his contributions to en- dodontics in South America and world- wide.

Dr. Lasala received medical, dental, and stomatology degrees from the Uni- versity of Madrid in Spain and earned a doctorate in dentistry from the Uni- versity of Merida in Venezuela. He also completed a one-year postgraduate endodontic program at the University of Michigan.

A faculty director and professor of

pathology, endodontics, pedodontics, orthodontics, and clinical pathology at the University of Zulia in Venezuela, he has been professor emeritus there since 1978. He was head of that uni- versity's graduate endodontics depart- ment from 1962 to 1972 and has served as head of the Institute of Dental Research there from 1961 to 1962.

In addition to such faculty appoint- ments as visiting professor of post- graduate endodontics at the University of Autonoma de Nueva Leon in Mon- terrey, Mexico and honorary visiting professor of endodontics at the School of Oral Pathology at the University of Madrid, Dr. Lasala maintains a private practice in Maracaibo and has served as both physician and dentist for the National Department of Health in that country.

A worldwide lecturer, he has pre- sented hundreds of endodontic courses throughout Europe and the Americas. His textbook, Endodoncia, which is used in dental schools throughout South America and Central America and has of late been trans- lated into Portuguese.

Board actions during Annual Session

AAE Directors met all day Wed., April 20 and Sunday morning, April 24. Annual reports of the officers, the American Board of Endodontics, the Endowment and Memorial Foundation, and 27 committees were reviewed.

Major actions taken by the Directors can be summarized as:

310 News Journal of Endodontics

Increased annual dues for Active mem- bers to $150.00 for 1984, although annual dues for Associate or Student members will not be increased. This increase, the first in more than 5 years, will enable the Association to operate with balanced budgets rather than the deficit budgeting of the past 2 years. This increase is to compensate for: increased subscription costs of the Journal, increased costs of member- ship services, declining interest in- come from the investment portfolio that has heretofore negated the necessity for dues increases when interest rates were high, and distribution of the cost of the scientific program portion of the annual session over the entire mem- bership rather than just those attending as in the past. By approval of this latter action, the Directors anticipate holding firm annual session registration fees, if not reducing them, for Active Mem- bers. Associate Members, however, will be expected to pay higher registra- tion fees.

Approved in principle a reorganiza- tion of the relationship of the Board of Directors to the AAE committee struc- ture. This proposal, which has been under development for several years, will, in the opinion of the Directors, expedite and increase member's in- volvement in association management because of these features:

- -F ive reference committees of the Board of Directors have been es- tablished, each chaired by an Of- ricer of the Association. These are: Association Affairs, Member- ship, Member Services, Commu- nications and Publications, and Education and Development.

- -The Standing Committees of the Association are to be restruc- tured into 13 by combining pre- sent standing and/or special committees as well as redefining their functions.

- -The number of Special Commit- tees will be reduced from 16 to 7 by the aforementioned mecha- nism and Special Committees will be designated as Subcommittees of the Standing Committees where advisable.

- -Membership on Standing Com- mittees will be such that one-third of this membership will be ap- pointed each year for 3-year terms to assure continuity.

--Standing Committee Chairman would be empowered to appoint chairmen and members of sub- committees under his purview upon recommendation by the members of his committee with the approval of the Association President.

Thus, with individual directors given overview responsibility for committee activity, with committee activity collec- tively being reported to Reference Committees of the Board of Directors under general supervision of the vice- president, and with increased admin- istration responsibility being vested in committee chairmen rather than Asso- ciation officers, the proposal can be seen as a long-term strategy for meet- ing present as well as future needs of an expanding organization. Constitu- tional changes will be brought before the membership in April 1984 and Op- erations Manual changes will be brought before the Directors in Sep- tember 1983 for approval.

Received information that AAE mem- bership rose from 2,821 in April 1982 to 2,903 in April 1983; an increase of 2.9%. These figures reflect an increase in active membership to 2,399 (3.6%), life membership to 109 (9.7%), and retired membership to 37 (12%). As- sociate memberships declined to 38 (2.5%) and student membership to 257 (2.2%). Over the past 3 years, both active and total membership in the As- sociation has increased by 11.7%.

Acted to place the reorganization of the Education Committee, with coop- eration with the Endodontic Section of the American Association of Dental Schools, as a high priority item in 1983 and 1984.

Approved a motion directing the En- dodontic Glossary Committee to re- strict the pending fourth edition to ter- minology specifically related to endo- dontics as well as to eliminate editorial or judgmental commentaries associ- ated with definition of terms.

Moved, following in-depth review of all the insurance programs of the As- sociation, with Treloar & Heisel, our present administrators.

Supported the recommendation of the Long-Range Planning Committee that the Association continue to op- pose the ADA Council on Dental Edu- cation's recommendations that direct provision of patient care be the sole

criteria for recognition of a special area of dental practice.

Discussed at length the importance of Association recognition by the ADA and active participation by AAE mem- bers in ADA affairs. Deferred for further consideration issues actively under consideration by Long-Range Planning and Public Affairs Committees on the scope, thrust, and level of activity of marketing of endodontic services as well as endodontists to the general public.

Referred to Professional Affairs Committee recommend policies for the distribution and use of the Guidelines for the Avulsed Teeth developed by a special ad hoc committee and ap- proved by the Directors. The Board of Directors will meet in Anaheim, CA on Sept. 29 to 30 just prior to the ADA Annual Session. The Executive Committee will meet at the central office on Sat., July 23.
