Morrill, jr . , Directors; G. H. Scbmidt , Editor; R. L. Ricbter, Associate Editor; S. E. Gilliland, Director, and R. A. Scbmidt , Assistant Executive Secretary.

Reorganization of the Board

President Richardson called the meeting to order June 29, 1988, University of Alberta. Richardson welcomed the new Board members: newly elected Vice President, R. L. Sellars, Chr, Hansen's Laboratory, Milwaukee, WI; Directors, S. E. Gilliland, Oklahoma State University, J. L. Morrill, Kansas State University, and J. C. Bruhn, University of California. Also welcomed to the meeting were Pam Mitteness, new Student Affiliate Division President, University of Min- nesota; A. S. Achacoso, Louisiana State Univer- sity, Third-Year Student Affiliate Division Advisor; and J. L. Walters, Chair of the ADSA Resolutions Committee.

Consideration of the Resolutions as presented by Walters was first on the agenda. Sellars moved and Parsons seconded that the resolutions be approved and read at the Business Meeting. Motion carried. Sellars was requested to develop a resolution for IDF to be added to those resolutions to be read at the Business Meeting.

Richardson noted that the International Dairy Congress will meet in Montreal in 1990.

Richardson appointed a representative from each division to represent ADSA at this meeting: J. L. Morrill from the Production Division and S. E. Gilliland from the Dairy Foods Division.

Richardson requested authorization for ADSA to purchase a FAX machine. C. D. Johnson had found that the machines range from $1000 to $2000, depending on the specific features. Parsons moved to give the ADSA Office authorization to purchase a FAX machine. Holzinger seconded the motion. Motion carried.

Discussion developed on documentat ion of historical events of ADSA. A taped history of ADSA should be started. Walt Dunkley suggested the need for a new historian, maybe cohistorians, with one from each division. L. D. McGilliard, K. L. Turk, and L. H. Schultz were mentioned as possible candidates for historian.

At this point, the meeting was turned over to the incoming President, Jack Van Horn. Van Horn began discussion on assignments to the Internal Affairs Committee. Sellars, corn-

mittee chair, listed some of the activities on which the committee would focus. First, the committee will study the establishment of a foundation and set up the foundation with a good financial base. The foundation could eliminate the need for the division chairs to ask for program funding. The foundation may also help to eliminate contacting the same company several times for donations. A scholar- ship function could also be folded into this structure. The Internal Affairs Committee may not be able to finalize all this, but could begin work in this area.

Another possible activity is to develop an informational video on ADSA. This video could be used to increase student membership, recruitment of Sustaining Members, promotion of ADSA annual meetings, etc. Sellars will work on this idea. The committee will also work on a possible membership survey. ADSA needs member input to serve its members better. The Association could find out why some members have not renewed their membership, what members expect from the ADSA, and obtain ideas to improve annual meetings, .suggestions for the Journal, etc.

Roger Hemken, University of Kentucky, Local Cochairperson for the 1989 ADSA Annual Meeting, joined the meeting to answer questions regarding that meeting. J. M. Elliot will be the overall Program Chairperson for the 1989 ADSA/ASAS Annual Meeting, July 3 1 - August 4. John Baker, University of Kentucky, will be the overall Local Chairperson and is the contact for questions regarding local arrangements. The usual Saturday ADSA Board meeting could be held on Sunday (July 30) with Saturday used as a travel day. The time of the Board meeting will be confirmed after the 1989 ADSA/ASAS Planning Committee meets in October.

Roger Hemken next reported on a letter he received from the National Research Council (NRC) regarding the NRC publication, Nutrient Requirements o f Dairy Cattle; ADSA has the option of preordering issues of the publication for distribution to members at a reduced price. These preorders would help in NRC printing costs. The publication would be well-received by members in the Production Division. The Board needs to make a decision prior to its release August 4. Muller moved to authorize the Executive Committee to get more details

from NRC regarding their publication and to follow through with the offer if it is feasible. Bruhn seconded the motion. Motion carried.

Van Horn appointed Board representatives: Tom Holzinger to the Student Affiliate Division; Jim Morrill to the Journal Management Com- mittee; and Larry Muller and Stan Gilliland to the Membership Committee.

Parn Mitteness gave Van Horn the SAD recommendations for student representatives on three ADSA Committees: Carmen Lyons, Louisiana State University, Milk Industry Foundat ion Teaching Award Selection Com- mittee; Jodi Stahl, University of Illinois, Purina Mills, Inc. Teaching Award Selection Committee; and Pare Mitteness, University of Minnesota, 1989 Program Committee.

The Production Division selected J. Herbein, Virginia Tech, to be on the Production Graduate Student Paper Presentation Contest Committee.

Under other business, continued from the Saturday Board meeting, Don Bath presented the additional qualification to be added to the American Cyanamid Award. Van Horn had contacted American Cyanamid Company, who approved the changing of the award form by ADSA. Gilliland moved that the American Cyanamid Company Award form should be amended with the change to read "b. Documen- tation of accomplishments in one or more of the areas (a, b, c, d, or e above under section 1 above) through one or more of the following: 1) List of scientific and popular articles; 2) Teaching activities; 3) Extension activities; and 4) Industry research and/or development activities." Muller seconded the motion. Motion carried. Bath also moved that the wording of the International Dairy Production Award should be changed to read "and may be a citizen of any country." Sellars seconded the motion. Motion carried.

Further discussion on ADSA awards brought up several ideas for controlling the length of the oral citations and the length of the ceremony. Instead of having the President incorporate each award description in his speech, the award descriptions could be printed in the awards program booklet . The oral citation should relate to the work of the recipient for which the award was won, not the recipient 's life history. R. A. Schmidt suggested a special one paragraph citation be read about each recipienL

Journal of Dairy Science Vol. 71, No. 12, 1988

A S S O C I A T I O N A F F A I R S 3565

One qualification for the Agway Inc. Young Scientist award is that the recipient be under 40 years of age and have received his/her Ph.D., or latest degree, not more than 10 years before the date of nomination. However, if a scientist received his/her Ph.D. later in life, this person could not be considered for the award. This qualification needs further consideration; maybe the age limit should not be set in some CaSeS.

John Parsons met with the Journal Manage- ment Committee and brought several recommendations to the Board. The Journal Manage- ment Committee thinks that each editor of Journal of Dairy Science should serve for a 4-year term. The Journal Management Com- mittee of the American Dairy Science Associa- tion endorses Glen Schmidt 's proposal and recommends the following to the Board of Directors: 1) that two additional Associate Editors be added to help the existing two editors in 1989 and 1990; 2) that the Associate Editors be responsible for the following four major areas: Foods, Nutrit ion and Calves, Animal Breeding, and Physiology and Management; 3) that each editor serve a four-year term as Associate Editor; 4) that during the fourth year, the person would also serve as Editor; 5 ) tha t the remunera- tion ratios would be: Nutrit ion and Calves, 3; Foods, 2; Animal Breeding, 1; Physiology and Management, 1; and Editor, 1; 6) that this plan be implemented by adding an Animal Breeding Associate Editor in 1989, a Nutrit ion Associate Editor in 1990, and a Physiology and Manage- ment Associate Editor in 1991; 7) that in 1991 the Contents of the Journal of Dairy Science be further subdivided into Nutrition, Animal Breeding, Physiology and Management, and other sections. Furthermore, the Journal Management Committee of the American Dairy Science Association recommends that the following policy be adopted for the printing of special supplements to the Journal of Dairy Science resulting from workshops or similar activities sponsored in conjuction with annual meetings: 1) the program organizer must submit a realistic budget to the Executive Secretary for approval, and 2) registration for the workshop must cover the total cost of publication and that any costs due to underestimation of workshop participants, length of papers, and so forth, will be borne by the author(s) in the form of page charges.

A recommendation from the department heads meeting was also brought to the meeting by John Parsons. During the department head's meeting, June 28, 1988 a recommendat ion to the Board came from a motion by D. Goodrich, University of Minnesota, seconded by R. Gomes, University of Illinois, that ADSA initiate a mailing of calls for award nominations, calls for abstracts, and registration materials for the annual meeting of ADSA to all heads of Animal Science and Food Science Departments. Nimz will merge the lists of department heads main- tained at the ADSA Office and send this list to the Board for additions and corrections.

Sellars presented the IDF resolution he and Jeff Walters developed to be read at the ADSA Business Meeting. Sellars moved to accept the resolution. Muller seconded the motion. Motion carried.

Van Horn adjourned the meeting.

8 3 R D A N N U A L BUSINESS MEETING OF ADSA

Gary Richardson, President, called the 83rd Annual Business Meeting to order at 11:10 a.m., June 29, 1988, 2-115 Education Building, University of Alberta, Edmonton. Jeff Waiters was appointed parliamentarian.

Before Gary Richardson introduced Paul Jelen, he expressed everyone's appreciation for an excellent job and for the success of the annual meeting to Paul Jelen, John Kennelly, and their committee. Paul Jelen in turn recognized his committee and said that the success of the meeting was a team effort. Jelen began his report on attendance of the 83rd annual meeting. Total at tendance was:

Members 778 Nonmembers 281 Students 302 Spouses and other adults 262 Children 133

Total 1756

Sellars moved for acceptance of the report; motion was seconded; motion carried.

Richardson then introduced the incoming officers: President, H. H. Van Horn, University of Florida; Vice President, R. L. Sellars, Chr. Hansen's Laboratory, Milwaukee, WI; Directors, S.E. Gilliland, Oklahoma State University, from the Dairy Foods Division; J. L. Morrill,

Journal of Dairy Science Vol. 71, No. I2, 1988

3566 JO URNAL OF DAIR Y SCIENCE

Kansas State University, from the Production Division; and J .C . Bruhn, University of Cali- fornia, Board replacement for Sellars for one year as Director. Officers of the Northeast Branch, until July 1988, are: President, S .J . Lyford, University of Massachusetts; Vice President, J. E. Nocek, Agway Inc., New York; and Secretary-Treasurer, G.W. Anderson, Uni- versity of Maine. Officers from the Southern Branch until February 1989 are: President, D. W. Webb, University of Florida; Vice Presi- dent, C. H. White, Mississippi State; and Secre- tary-Treasurer, C.E. Polan, Virginia Tech. Officers of the Student Affiliate Division were introduced.

Van Horn reported on the actions of the Board of Directors (these actions are reported in detail on the preceding pages). All is running quite smoothly at the ADSA Office. Study this year has been on the tax status of ADSA and preparation for a future audit. The ADSA Board has reviewed the possible reorganization of ADSA's tax structure and has agreed that ADSA is a not-for-profit organization with no need to change ADSA's current structure. It has been a good financial year but ADSA anticipates increasing costs over the next year, so the Board has increased membership dues effective January 1 9 8 9 : $ 5 0 per year for individual membership, $25 per year for student membership with the Journal ($6.25 without the Journal), and $85 a year for institutional membership. The management service fee for each of the societies ADSA manages will increase by up to $1.00 per member. Number of pages in the Journal has increased, which increases ADSA's cost. To counteract this cost, the Board has agreed to increase page charges from $50 to $60 per page for members and from $100 to $120 per page for nonmembers. The Journal Management Committee has come up with several recommendations that the ADSA Board supports. One such recommendat ion is a proposal to add Associate Editors to the Journal of Dairy Science. This proposal is to distribute the workload of the production editor and will come in stages. Four Associate Editors would be added beginning with 1989 with an editor added each year until there are four in the production section. The Associate Editor to be added first wiU be for animal breeding and genetics. The Editors will also be soliciting for

review papers. Unsolicited review articles will not be published.

L. H. Schultz presented the Treasurer's report. Schultz referred to the printed budget dis- t r ibuted at the meeting. He reported good news for ADSA's finances; ADSA was in the black for 1987 with a net worth, according to the audit as of December 31, 1987, of $715,000. The predicted surplus for 1988 is $35,000. To keep ADSA in the black, page charges, member dues, and the management service fee all needed to be increased. The number of pages in Journal of Dairy Science has increased in 1988. Page charges do not cover the cost of the printing of the Journal. Extra costs will also be incurred by the conversion from conventional to computerized publishing. The lease of the new equipment will cost around $36,000 in 1988. To cover costs from the conversion, inflation, and increased number of published pages, increases are necessary. Membership dues are still lower than those of most societies. Schultz moved for acceptance of the Treasurer's report. Sellars seconded the motion. Motion carried. Schultz was asked if the Board members were covered by liability insurance, and if so, for how much. Each Board member is covered up to one million dollars.

Carl Johnson presented the Executive Secretary's report. He began his report by speaking first about the Management Service side of the ADSA Office. Modification of some computer programs is still needed and each year new programs have to be written or revised for the annual meeting registrations. Some societies thought they would not use the computer much, but most societies are finding out how much they need the computer. The computer printer is always running. In the typesett ing area, a new computerized typesetting system was leased through Compu- graphic. The system is called the Compugraphic Automated Publishing System (CAPS). This system is PC driven and uses a laser printer. With 12,000 pages a year published, an inter- mediate size typesetting system was needed. The primary goal is to get all the journals on the system and then use more of the features available. This system can expand to add a number of terminals. One company has 50 terminals on their CAPS system. In the journal department, Cheryl Nimz reported that the


ASSOCIATION AFFAIRS 3567

journal is up at least 300 pages this year so far. One main commitment that the ADSA Office is working toward is to have the Journal of Dairy Science in the hands of the members during the month it is published. Under membership development, the Membership Ambassador Program has been operational for almost a year. The state ambassadors sent 200 names of prospective new ADSA members to the ADSA Office. A letter, membership brochure, and membership form were sent to the 200 potential new members. A better brochure needs to be developed, and this is one activity on which the Membership Committee could focus. Sustain- ing Membership dues went from $100 to $500 a year; ADSA lost around 7 or 8 Sustaining Members but Sustaining Membership income went from $2000 to approximately $10,000. Concentration will be first on increasing Sus- taining Members and then on increasing advertising in the Journal. The front mat ter of the ADSA Directory is being updated with hopes of mailing out a new directory in September. Overall, membership is up 4 3 - d o w n 6 at the institutional level, down 92 students, but up 143 individuals. More work will be done in the promotional area. Cheryl Nimz did a superb job of promoting this year's meeting by sending out news releases, posters, and ads in the Journal of Dairy Science. Time is a crucial factor where some materials are concerned but ADSA staff is working toward increasing the promotional aspect of ADSA. Johnson commended the ADSA Staff and recognized some staff members for their hard work and excellent support; Bob Schmidt, Assistant Executive Secretary; Cheryl Nimz, ADSA Technical Editor; Mary Jane Geiger, ADSA Secretary; Gayle Gleichman, Director of Production Staff; and Brenda Carlson, ADSA Secretary. R . J . Brown moved for acceptance of Johnson's report. J. C. Bruhn seconded the motion. Motion carried. At this point, Gary Richardson noted that Johnson has an excellent team at the ADSA Office.

Production Division Report. J. Murray Elliot, Chairperson, presented the report. The Production Division program has been very successful. Elliot enjoyed excellent cooperation and support from all the committees in setting up the program. The Committees raised $11,600 to support outside speakers so that no support from ADSA was needed for this purpose. The 1988 Production Division program had 450

abstracts in 39 sessions. These included 14 symposium presentations and 9 other invited papers but do not include papers in one joint symposium for which no abstracts were provided. By section, papers were distributed as follows: Feeding and Management, 221; Physiology, 56; Milk Synthesis, 31; Dairy Cattle Improvement, 78; Extension and Education, 32; and Health, 42. Eighty-nine of the 450 abstracts were presented as posters in seven sessions. Distribution for the posters were: 27 in Feeding and Management, 25 in Physiol- ogy, 13 in Milk Synthesis, 6 in Dairy Cattle Improvement, 9 in Extension and Education, and 9 in Health. Two abstracts were withdrawn (one while the program was in press) and 4 were rejected. Thirteen graduate students presented papers in the Graduate Student Paper Presentation Contest. They were distributed as follows: 9 in Feeding and Management, 1 in Health, 1 in Dairy Cattle Improvement, 1 in Extension and Education, and 1 in Physiology. Elliot will be the General Program Chairperson for the 1989 ADSA/ASAS Annual Meeting. Jerry Young, Chairperson of the ADSA Produc- tion Division for 1988--1989, will be Associate Chairperson as will Elwyn Miller, ASAS Secre- tary. There has been real effort to make this a true joint meeting. Both societies have already agreed on several events for the 1989 Annual Meeting. There will be one call for papers and one abstract form, one opening session, one reception, separate numbering of abstracts, and separate business meetings and award programs. There will be a few challenges with some of the different customs in each society. Eleven committees have been set up: 1) Breed- ing and Genetics; 2) Teaching-Extension; 3) Food Science (Dairy/Meats); 4) Animal Health/ Pharmacology-Toxicology; 5) Ruminant Nutri- tion; 6) Environment, Behavior, and Care; 7) Growth and Development; 8) Nonruminant Nutrit ion; 9) Production and Management; 10) Physiology; and 11) Pastures and Forages. There are four members on each c o m m i t t e e - two from each society. Elliot moved for acceptance of his report. The motion was seconded. Motion carried.

Dairy Foods Division Report . P. C. Vasavada, Chairperson, presented the report. Vasavada reported that the 1988 Dairy Foods Division Program has been very successful. A total of 174 papers, including 154 original research


3 5 6 8 JO UR N A L 0 F D A IR Y SCIENCE

papers and 20 invited symposium papers, were presented. Also, for the first time, the division sponsored poster sessions, which included 32 presentations. The Dairy Foods Division noted an increase from 7 to 24 in the Graduate Student Paper Presentation Contest. This increase was partly due to the tremendous interest in dairy processing and products research made possible by funding from various national agencies such as the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board, the National Dairy Promotion and Research Board, and the Dairy Research Foundation. The increase in participants in the Graduate Student Paper Presentation Contest was also due to the rule changes adopted by the division at the 1987 Annual Meeting, allowing each school to submit four papers in the contest instead of two. According to the Graduate Student Paper Presentation Contest chairperson, Mark E. Johnson, the quality of the papers and presentations was very high. The Dairy Foods Division sponsored four symposia, two joint with the Production Division. They were Milk Supply Management Systems in Canada; Altering the Composition of Milk; Instrumental Methods for Measuring Compo- nents of Milk; and Genetics of Lactic Acid Bacteria. Thanks are expressed for the financial support of the symposia organizers for their efforts in planning and conducting these excellent educational offerings. The Division's committees were active this year. Vasavada thanked the members and chairpersons of various committees for their interest and efforts and leadership. At the Division's business meeting, Douglas Willret, Nordica International Company, was elected to serve as Council Chairperson for the 1991 meeting. Joseph Frank of the University of Georgia was elected to the Council as Secretary for the 1990 meeting. Officers for 1989 are: Mary Ellen Sanders, G. L. Christen, and Rod Brown. The Dairy Foods Division expresses its gratitude to the University of Alberta at Edmonton and the local arrangements committee for providing excellent facilities and friendly hospitality that contributed to the success of this meeting. Also, the Division would like to acknowledge the assistance of Edwin Hopkins of the Inter- national Dairy Federation (IDF) for publicizing the ADSA program to IDF members and for encouraging IDF members to participate in the ADSA program. Finally, I would also like to

thank Gary Richardson, Murray Elliot, John Bruhn, Mary Ellen Sanders, and Floyd Bodyfelt for their cooperation and assistance in perform- ing my duties as Chairperson of the Dairy Foods Division. Last but not least, I would like to acknowledge excellent help provided by Carl Johnson and the ADSA staff. I have enjoyed working with various committees and serving on the Dairy Foods Division council. I would like to express my appreciation. Thank you. Vasavada moved for acceptance of his report. R.L. Sellars seconded the motion. Motion carried.

Student Affiliate Division Report. Pare Mitteness, new President of the Student Affiliate Division, University of Minnesota, introduced Brian Garthwaite, 1987-1988 First Vice President, University of Wisconsin at River Falls, to give the Student Affiliate Division report. The Student Affiliate Division Annual Meeting had 110 students in attendance with 10 voting schools. Eight schools participated in the Yearbook Contest with the first place winners being the Badger Dairy Club (University of Wisconsin); second place went to the Los Lecheros Dairy Club (California Polytechnic State University); and third to Pennsylvania State University. Thirteen schools participated in the Outstanding SAD Chapter Contest. Virginia Tech took first place, Pennsylvania State University second place, and Los Lecheros Dairy Club took third. In the Undergraduate Student Paper Contest in the Dairy Foods Division, five students entered. Nanette de Jong, Cal Poly, took first place honor; Cindy Guillot, Louisiana State University, second place; and Dolly Higginbotham, University of Georgia, third place. In the Production Division, seven students participated. Martini Ohl, University of Illinois, finished in first place; Douglas A. McCullough, Virginia Tech, second place; and Tim Baumgarmer, University of Wisconsin, third place.

Garthwaite next introduced the 1988-1989 Student Affiliate Executive Committee: Pare Mitteness, President, University of Minnesota; Tim Baumgartner, First Vice President, Univer- sity of Wisconsin; Jodi Stahl, Second Vice President, University of Illinois; Nancy Powel, Third Vice President, Virginia Tech; Carmen Lyons, Secretary-Treasurer, Louisiana State University; David A. Mendonca, Officer at Large, Cal Poly; Jonathan Allen, First Year



Advisor, Louisiana State University; C. L. Moore, Second Year Advisor, Illinois State Uni- versity; and A. S. Achacoso, Third Year Advisor, Louisiana State University.

The Student Affiliate Division would like to increase its membership. A new brochure on ADSA needs to be developed. This is something the Division hopes to work on in the future. The deadlines for next year's reports have been extended to June 30 because of the late meeting date. Some reconstruction of the various scorecards needs to be made because there was a problem in deciding what criteria to pursue. The students had a good time and were very pleased with the meeting. Mitteness moved for acceptance of Brian's report. J .M. Elliot seconded the motion. Motion carried. Richard- son commented on the great work of the Student Affiliate Division and expressed his appreciation for the students' efforts for an excellent meeting.

Necrology Report. C. D. Johnson presented the Necrology Report. Members who died during the past year were W.S. Arbuckle, Maryland; J.W. Barnard, Utah; H. E. Bechtel, Iowa; P. H. Cole, Nebraska; J. H. Erb, Ohio; H. Fenner, Massachusetts; K. Furugouri, Japan; R. Hardell, Wisconsin; G. W. Harpestad, Illinois; J.W. Hibbs, Ohio; J.W. Lusk, Mississippi; H. C. Olson, Oklahoma; G. W. Putnam, Illinois; P.J. Reynolds, Maryland; S.W. Seas, South Dakota; V.R. Smith, Idaho; L.C. Thomsen, Wisconsin; and R.W. Weik, District of Colum- bia.

ADSA EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES

October 13, 1987 Lexington, Kentucky

The ADSA Executive Committee met in Lexington, Kentucky on October 13, 1987 to conduct interim business of the Association. Present were G. H. Richardson, President;



H. H. Van Horn, Vice President; D. L. Bath, Past President; L. H. Schultz, Treasurer; C. D. Johnson, Executive Secretary; R. A. Schmidt, Assistant Executive Secretary; and B. S. Carlson, ADSA Staff.

The meeting was called to order at 8:30 a.m. Minutes of the June 1987 Board meeting of the Executive Committee were discussed and amended. Bath recommended acceptance of the minutes as amended. Van Horn seconded acceptance of the amended minutes. Motion approved.

L. H. Schultz presented the financial report. Schultz discussed two items on the budget for the current fiscal year. Dues income is up from last year because of the increase in membership dues rate. The number of pages printed in the Journal this year will be less than estimated, which decreases the expense in Journal printing. The budget is on schedule in most income and expense categories. The 1988 budget projects a small surplus. Revenue increases will come from the typesett ing department and from an increase in Sustaining Membership dues. Schultz reported that the Long-Range Planning Committee was appointed for only one year and suggested the need for a standing committee to continue to investigate the formation of a foundat ion as a separate structure of ADSA. Instead of forming a new committee, Schultz suggested that this be another activity of the Internal Affairs Committee.

Johnson asked approval of a request for travel funding from Mike Hutjens, ADSA representative to the American Feed Industry Association, to attend the Semiannual Nutrit ion Council Meeting in Memphis, TN. Van Horn moved to accept the request from Mike Hutjens for travel expenses to at tend the meeting. Bath seconded the motion. All approved.

The next item on the agenda was a report from C. D. Johnson who reported on a new postal permit regulation for renewal forms, advertising plans for the Journal of Dairy Science, membership status, 1987 Annual Meeting, need for a new delivery vehicle, tax status of ADSA, and office automation.

The new postal information printed on each renewal is required by the IRS to verify that the majori ty of ADSA membership pays for the journal. Rates for advertising in Journal of Dairy Science will increase beginning with the January 1988 issue to $500 per page. Through

a direct mail campaign, advertising, selling of mailing lists, and increasing Sustaining Member- ship dues will be explored in upcoming months. Individual membership is about the same as last year at this time, student membership is up by 80, and institutions are down. Names of members that did not renew for 1987 will remain in the computer. Lists of unrenewed expired regular and student members could be given to each state membership ambassador to help with the renewal process.

The 1987 Annual Meeting had an $8000 to $9000 surplus. Donations for future annual meeting symposia were discussed. Leftover committee funds are carried over for use by the same committee at the next annual meeting. It was suggested that when committee chairs solicit for annual meeting support, they should request that companies identify their checks so that money is allocated to the correct committee and to the correct donor.

The ADSA delivery vehicle was totaled in an accident. The delivery vehicle is used three to four times daily, and a new one is needed. ADSA had received $1100 from the insurance company for the old delivery vehicle. Schultz recommended the purchase of an inexpensive, small vehicle. Bath moved to purchase a vehicle at a reasonable price for ADSA. Van Horn seconded the motion. Motion was approved. Johnson was authorized to find a delivery vehicle.

Johnson next reported on the relationship of the management and typesett ing service to the ADSA nonprofi t tax status. After a lengthy discussion, the Executive Committee asked Johnson to gather additional information on this topic for the April Executive Committee meeting so the Executive Committee could formulate a recommendat ion to the Board at the June meeting.

Johnson next reported on the continued automation of the ADSA Office. Johnson recommended that ADSA not immediately purchase a new typesett ing system because of rapid changes taking place in the typesett ing industry. New affordable software packages are being developed. Another major change is improve- ments in laser printers. Johnson suggested the staff will experiment further in the PC environment during the next several months and present a proposal for the June Board meeting. The Executive Committee thought it


3572 JO URNAL OF DAIR Y SCIENCE

would be in the best interest of ADSA to wait until the staff had more time to evaluate the changes in the typesetting industry. In the interim, Bath moved to purchase a software package to be used by the staff for training and education in the PC environment. Van Horn seconded the motion. Motion approved. Johnson will purchase a software package. Office automation in the management side (directory information, member renewals, membership lists, etc.) is going well.

Next Van Horn reported for the Internal Affairs Committee. An agenda was circulated among committee members listing potential items to he considered and asking which items should take priority. The top priority was the awards timetable and whether or not there should be a limitation of 5 years between winning of awards. Using only 5 years rather than a lifetime of research gives the awards committees less research to evaluate. But this limitation discriminates against those who were not recognized for some outstanding research during a prior 5-year period. The Internal Affairs Committee will come up with a recommendation to handle the 5-year limitation that will be fair to all.

Discussion next led to reestablishing the Western Branch of ADSA. It was suggested that a committee be appointed to study the re- establishment of the Western Branch. Suggested to work on this committee were J. Bruhn, G. Rieff, G. Starkey, D. Bath, G. Richardson, F. Bodyfelt, R. Kincaid, D. Armstrong, and J. Huber.

There was a brief discussion of improving communication and the relationship between ADSA and IFT.

Another item for the Internal Affairs Com- mittee is the examination of the formation of an ADSA Foundation versus using the Dairy Remembrance Fund for receiving gifts to sponsor scholarships and lectureships. A committee is needed to handle these funds, set up a special account, and decide who would get the money. Trustees for the foundation would notify contributors to the fund of the intent of their contribution. Van Horn said the Internal Affairs Committee would further study the formation of such a foundation.

Other topics for the Internal Affairs Com- mittee to study are 1) whether poster sessions should be encouraged and 2) the idea of offering

membership certificates to ADSA members that would indicate year of joining.

Van Horn discussed the last item on the Internal Affairs Committee agenda. C. A. Ernstrom sent a letter about a National Dairy Board (NDB) Industrial Achievement Award. This award, recognizing a company and an individual, would help to strengthen ADSA relations with industry. Richardson will inform Ernstrom that ADSA will wait for contact by NDB.

Next on the agenda was a discussion of future annual meetings. Discussion led to the possibility of initiating a membership survey to find out from the members what additional services to offer at annual meetings, whether to continue to hold meetings on university campuses, whether to have exhibits, etc. Members' input is important in the Board's decision making. Richardson will be contacting Darwin Braund about a similar questionnaire he sent to Northeast members a few years back. The survey could be mailed with the 1988 Call for Papers mailing with a short deadline for responding.

Consideration of an offer from Maryland to host the 1993 Annual Meeting was deferred until the June meeting. If in June no word had been received from University of Maryland before then, Van Horn could contact Richard Erdman. Also, Richardson could mention in his presidential address that ADSA is open for bids for the annual meetings beginning with 1993.

Bath next reported on the Management Services Policy Committee (MSPC) meeting held in Champaign at the ADSA Office, October 1, 1987. The meeting was very amicable and everyone was impressed with current progress. R. L. Preston, American Society of Animal Science (ASAS) representative, is pleased with ADSA services. Preston suggested improved breakdown of ASAS's management fee, spe- cifically breakdown of overhead costs. The MSPC elected G. H. Richardson chair of the committee for 1988, demonstrating the confidence that the other societies have in ADSA's leadership. All thought it was a great idea to have had the meeting in Champaign to see first- hand what happens at the ADSA Office, but also thought it would be better to meet with the Intersociety Council and Planning Com- mittee meetings in October. Next year the MSPC



would like to meet in St. Louis with these groups.

L. H. Schultz brought up consideration of other societies to manage, such as the American Association of Bovine Practitioners of 4000 plus members. Johnson did contact the president of this society, but the group was not interested in management services at this time. Schultz suggested contacting them after the present president's term ends.

Richardson received a letter from Charles Lassiter about the Finnish Foreign Office denying admission of a South African scientific delegation to the WAAP Conference. Richardson replied that ADSA could not help in this matter, being a professional organization, not a political one. Lassiter also mentioned that the Canadian government is putting together a proposal to host the 1993 WAAP meeting in British Columbia. The Canadians are asking the US Government if it would like to cosponsor the meeting. Lassiter was wondering if ADSA wanted to work with ASAS on some sort of support for this meeting, that is, helping to find sponsors, donating some money, etc. The Executive Committee was unable to act on this request without first talking to ASAS and others.

Richardson received a letter from Joseph O'Donnell regarding his function as chair of the ADSA Research Subcommittee of the Intersociety Committee. Richardson asked the Executive Committee how he should respond to O'Donnell. Richardson will discuss with the Intersociety Council the functions of and need for this committee.

Borden will have $5000 available for ADSA for the Annual Meeting program. The Program Committee can choose how to allocate this money for a symposium to pay for speakers.

A question was brought up regarding the Graduate Student Paper Presentation Contests and whether decisions about the contests shouId be made at the division or association level. Richardson and Bath were to recommend to the Board that rules, regulations, and ad- ministrative decisions should be left with each division. Bath suggested referring to the divisions the question of how many contestants are allowed per school and any restrictions to the contest. Divisions may have already done this at the June meeting. Bath moved that the divisions be allowed to set their own guidelines

on the Graduate Student Paper Presentation Contest. Van Horn seconded the motion. Motion approved.

Richardson received a letter from Charles Black, CAST Executive Board, requesting nominations of young scientists for the Science of Food and Agriculture magazine award. Bath said such requests come up periodically and the President nominates for such awards. There is usually a time constraint, so the Board would not be able to meet to make suggestions for such an award.

The Holstein Association would like to be kept informed of ADSA's future annual meeting dates to avoid conflicting dates between the societies' meetings. Richardson wrote to the Holstein Association and told them to contact the Executive Secretary for all future meeting dates.

Bath reported on the status of the Guide for the Care and Use o f Agricultural Animals in Agricultural Researcb and Teacbing. Last year, ADSA contributed $2000 to the Guide. The Animal Care Guide committee met October 5 and 6 in St. Louis to go over a final provisional set of revisions. Galley proofs should be sent out around December 1. The first edition should be out by January 1989. The committee hopes to have a second edition of the Guide in 2 years.

Under other business, Johnson asked about updating the front matter of the ADSA Directory and if anything should be added. Adding the divisional bylaw s and the policies and procedures of the awards was suggested. There was no further business.

Richardson adjourned the meeting at 3:00 p.m.

ADSA EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES

April 13-14, 1988 Champaign, Illinois

The ADSA Executive Committee met at the ADSA Office in Champaign, IL, on April 13--14, 1988 to conduct interim business of the Association. Those present were G. H. Richardson, President; H. H. Van Horn, Vice President; D. L. Bath, Past President; L. H. Schultz, Treasurer; C. D. Johnson, Executive Secretary; R. A. Schmidt, Assistant Executive Secretary; C. K. Nimz, ADSA Technical Editor; and B. S. Carlson, ADSA Staff.


3574 JOURNAL OF DAIR Y SCIENCE

The meeting was called to order at 9:00 a.m. by G. H. Richardson. Richardson asked for approval and additions to the agenda. The agenda was approved with one item added; cosponsoring the Collegiate Dairy Products Evaluation Contest with the Dairy and Food Industries Supplies Association, Inc. (DFISA).

Richardson asked for approval of the October 1987 Executive Committee meeting minutes. D. L. Bath moved to accept the minutes as distributed. H. H. Van Horn seconded the motion. Motion carried.

The Executive Committee reviewed the audit report for fiscal year 1987. For the year ended December 31, 1987, income exceeded expenses by $41,582.

The next item for discussion and review was the budget for the current fiscal year. Schultz reviewed the income and expense items, high- lighting items that have changed since last October. The revised projection of income over expenses for the current year is $50,000. Al- though the surplus is adequate this year, Schultz expressed concern for additional revenue to meet 1989 financial needs. An inflation factor of 5% added across all expense items would leave ADSA with a balanced budget for 1989. The Executive Committee thought it was necessary to operate with a modest projection of income over expenses to cover any un- expected increase in expenses or decrease in revenue. The Executive Committee will recommend to the Board in June for an increase in ADSA's income through membership dues and subscription rates. Bath moved to recommend at the June board meeting that membership dues be increased $5 and subscription rate by $10, beginning January 1, 1989. Van Horn seconded the motion. Motion carried.

Johnson recommended an increase in the management service fee that each society pays ADSA, effective January 1, 1989. He thought this increase was necessary to cover A D S A costs in management service. The management service fee each society pays ADSA should be set according to the service ADSA provides to that society. A flat increase across the board is not feasible. Johnson recommended an increase of not more than $1.00 with flexibility in the rate increase per society. Van Horn moved that the management service fee be raised up to $1.00 per member for each society with the final rate increase set for each society by Johnson and

Schmidt according to services used by each society, with the increase effective January 1, 1989. Bath seconded the motion. Motion carried.

Another source of income could be to increase page charges in Journal o f Dairy Science. Members currently pay $50 per page and nonmembers $100 per page, which does not cover publication cost. Some waivers are given for page charges, but not enough to make a differ- ence. Waivers should not be given to nonmembers. Nonmembers could join and then ask for a waiver. The Editor currently makes the decision to give a page waiver. The policy of having the Editor make this decision will be discussed at the June board meeting. Johnson will have a handout on page charges and reprints for the June board meeting. The last page charge increase was in 1985.

Johnson reported on the tax implications for ADSA for the management and typesetting service provided to other societies. Johnson provided the Executive Committee a report with five options for ADSA. Considerable discussion followed. Bath suggested ADSA remain as is and that the Executive Committee should recommend to the Board that ADSA, which is providing service to other agricultural societies at cost basis, has no need to develop for-profit guidelines at this time. Johnson will send information to justify this recommendation to the Board with an explanation of each option and its financial impact on ADSA.

Office operations were next on the agenda. Gayle Gleichman and Louise Johnson, ADSA staff members, joined the meeting at this time to discuss the study of typesetting equipment. Several software packages and hardware have been studied since October. New equipment needs to be leased or purchased, because as of February 1990 the existing IBM Magnetic Card typesetting machines will not be eligible for maintenance agreements and no new parts will be made; only existing or rebuilt parts are available. The ideal software package would have tabular capabilities and would be able to generate a table of contents, pagination, math, and equations. Purchasing or leasing new equipment will also decrease the use of outside type- setters. These capabilities and more can be found in a new system, Compugraphic Automated Publishing System (CAPS), offered through Compugraphic. Johnson distributed a breakdown of the cost of CAPS, which covers train-



ing of three individuals, software, and hardware. The entire package can be purchased at a dis- count for around $114,000, or leased for $31,000 a year for 5 years. Bath moved to recommend to the Board to lease CAPS, the new typesett ing equipment from Compugraphic, for $ 31,000 a year and to get approval through a mail ballot from the Board prior to the June meeting. Van Horn seconded the motion. Motion carried. Johnson will follow through with a mail ballot and a report on CAPS for the Board's approval. The lease of the new equipment would create a near breakeven budget for 1988. The lease price would need to be added to the 1989 budget.

A Sustaining Members' promotion was briefly discussed. A list of 1200-plus prospective Sustaining Members has been created from lists from Institute of Food Technologists, Milk Industry Foundat ion, milk producers, and milk suppliers. A letter and fact sheet will be sent to persons on this list.

A let ter and form have been sent to all ADSA membership ambassadors, requesting each to jot down a few names of colleagues that were not listed on the ADSA membership pr intout for their region and return that list to the ADSA Office. Over 200 names have been sent to ADSA. A let ter will be sent to those prospective members to join ADSA, stating that they will receive the ADSA Directory if they join by a certain date.

Next Van Horn reported on the activities of the Internal Affairs Committee. After reviewing procedures for soliciting vitae for those nominated for awards, the Internal Affairs Com- mittee recommends that the nominees and the chairs of the committee be notified if previous winners of awards have been nominated for an award within 5 years of winning the first award, and that those dossiers be flagged to let award selection committee members know when the person won the first award. One way to notify committee members of previous winners is to send out a list of past winners. Van Horn also brought up a let ter from Dale Bauman regarding the American Cyanamid Award. The American Cyanamid Award form does not request a list of publications for the nominee. A committee should be appointed to evaluate the form and to contact American Cyanamid to find out their wishes regarding this qualification. The committee should have a recommendation for

changes to the award form by the June Board meeting. Van Horn will contact American Cyanamid and will also respond to Bauman's let ter to inform him of the Board's decision to reevaluate this award form.

The Internal Affairs Committee polled ADSA members from the West asking if a Western Branch of ADSA should be reestab- lished. Twenty members responded, and the majori ty reported that they have limited travel funds and would rather use their funding to at tend a national meeting rather than a regional meeting of ADSA. Those polled did not think it was feasible to reestablish the Western Branch of ADSA.

Bath had nothing to report regarding the October 1987 Management Service Policy Committee meeting but will have a report for the June board meeting.

Cheryl Nimz reported on the activities of the Journal Management Committee. Nimz has talked to J. B. Holter regarding his let ter to the Journal Management Committee about electronic transmission of manuscripts on disks. The Journal Management Committee has no objection to use of formatted disks, but much needs to be considered before doing so, including how to go about sending or selling disks to authors. The current Journal Management Committee does not want to recommend or dictate policy as far as electronic transmission of manuscripts or the purchase of hardware and software. This decision would be better handled by the Board and the ADSA staff. The Editorial Board should be polled about their feelings concerning receiving manuscripts electronically or on disks. Guidelines and standards, especially in the review process, need to be determined before a policy can be established for electronic submission of manuscripts.

Richardson spoke briefly on the International Dairy Federat ion-United States National Com- mittee Tripartite Meeting, which begins after the ADSA Annual Meeting in Edmonton on Wednesday June 29, 1988 and runs through Thursday, June 30. Information on the meeting was not included with the ADSA registration material, but information could be included in the spring ADSA President's newsletter.

A list of the 1988 award recipients was distributed by Carlson to those present. C. Lassiter is working on a new sponsor for the International Dairy Production Award. East-


3576 JO URNA L OF D A I R Y SC1ENCE

man Kodak sponsored the award for 1988 but has discontinued its animal nutri t ion business and sponsorship. A probable sponsor is studying the guidelines of the award at this time to see if it would be willing to sponsor the award. New sponsorship of the award will be announced at the Awards Ceremony.

C. A. Ernstrom is working on an Industrial Achievement Award sponsored by the National Dairy Board. At its October meeting, the Executive Committee had decided not to pursue this award because of numerous existing ADSA awards, but Ernstrom may follow through with a proposal.

Council for Agricultural Science and Tech- nology has asked A D S A to establish a formal process for nominating someone from ADSA for the CAST Chas. A. Black Award in Food and Agricultural Sciences. The Internal Affairs Committee will study this proposal.

Johnson next reported on the 1988 ADSA Annual Meeting in Edmonton. Registration material has been mailed to all ADSA members. Johnson will be going to Edmonton on June 10 to meet with the local host committee and to check on final arrangements. The program is ready to be typeset as soon as room assignments reach the office. More papers will be presented this year in each division.

Richardson has asked David McCarron to give an address during the Sunday Opening Ceremony after the Award of Honor and Distinguished Service Awards are presented. McCarron's address will be a test of how responsive ADSA membership is to an outside speaker for the opening ceremony. The National Dairy Board is paying McCarron's expenses.

Future meetings of ADSA were next discussed-1989, Lexington, Kentucky, July 3 1 - August 4 (joint with ASAS); 1990, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, June 2 4 - 2 7 ; 1991, Utah State University, Logan, June 2 4 - 2 7 ; and 1992, Ohio State University, Columbus, June 2 1 - 2 4 . Richardson will contact R .A . Erdman from Maryland to see if Maryland is still interested in hosting the 1993 Annual Meeting. If Maryland is not interested, Richardson will make an announcement at the June meeting that 1993 is open for proposals.

Institute of Food Technologists will publish ADSA's annual meeting dates in F o o d Tech- no logy; to date, some future ADSA meeting dates conflict with those of IFT.

Next on the agenda was the survey of ADSA members. Darwin Braund, who had surveyed the Northeast members some years back, did not want to survey the entire membership himself. Bath suggested that the Internal Affairs Commitee study the possibility of surveying the ADSA membership.

Committee reports were next distributed and discussed. Committee reports go the the Board for acceptance or rejection. After the June board meeting, the President sends a thank-you letter to all the chairs and reports Board actions on committee reports, if any. Travel requests by committee representatives were discussed. J .E . Rushing, ADSA's representative to the 3-A Sanitary Standards Com- mittee, requested $850 for travel to at tend the annual meeting of this committee. M . F . Hutjens, ADSA's representative to American Feed Industry Association, requested $600 for travel to at tend AFIA ' s annual meeting. J. L. Morrill, chair of ADSA's Animal Care Commit- tee, requested ADSA's support for a member of the Animal Care Committee to at tend the NCR 131 annual meeting. Van Horn suggested up to $500 be given for this support . The Executive Committee approved these travel requests. Johnson will notify Rushing that his travel request has been approved and Richardson will notify the others.

Due to the restructuring of the Intersociety Committees and the ADSA Subcommittees of the Intersociety Committees, Bath recommended that ADSA Subcommittees be listed as standing committees.

In the Membership Committee 's report, the committee has asked for continuation of the ambassador program in recruiting new members, and it suggested some ways to reward those members for recruiting new members. Van Horn recommended that the Membership Committee continue studying methods of membership recruitment and ways to award members for their recruitment efforts.

Meeting adjourned at 5:30 p.m. to resume Thursday morning at 8:30 a.m.

The Executive Committee meeting resumed on Thursday, April 14, at 8:30 a.m. Those present were D. L. Bath, L. H. Schultz, G. H. Richardson, H. H. Van Horn, C. D. Johnson, R. A. Schmidt, and B. S. Carlson.

Discussion began about the ADSA President attending the National Science Foundat ion



(NSF) Board on Agriculture Annual Meeting in 1989. Tim Blosser attended the 1988 meeting as ADSA's representative because of his proximity to the meeting. Blosser will be moving and unable to attend this meeting in future years. Because Van Horn will not need funding to attend the 1989 Southern meeting, those funds can be used for his travel to the 1989 NSF meeting.

The American Association for the Advance- ment of Science has asked ADSA to provide 100 journals to be distributed throughout Africa. The Board will discuss this at the June board meeting due to the cost involved: $6.45 per journal. Van Horn asked if the journals would be distributed to agricultural libraries and, if so, if ADSA could get a list of those liberies and distribute back issues to these libraries. This would be an alternative to sending new journals.

Next of the agenda was the problem of symposium funding. Establishing two levels of funding for Sustaining Members, one for $500 for the Sustaining Member and a second one to include symposium funding, would eliminate the problem of contacting a Sustaining Member or symposium sponsor for additional money. A letter from the ADSA Office could be sent to symposium chairs listing those companies already contributing to ADSA as a Sustaining Member or funding a symposium. The Internal Affairs Committee will check into changing the By-laws and Constitution to increase the Sustaining Membership to two levels.

The IFT Toxicology and Safety Evaluation Workshop, sponsored by AOAC, will be held August 28--30, 1988, at the L'Enfant Hotel in Washington, DC; ADSA can nominate three participants from ADSA but cannot support the workshop with ADSA funds.

Richardson discussed the possibility of ADSA having a video newsletter, as ADM does, to keep members abreast of educational matters, association news, upcoming events, etc.

The video questionnaire sent out last fall by the Education Committee was the next item for discussion. This questionnaire was developed to inventory available instructional videos and was sent to all ADSA members. The Education Committee thought a list of available videos would help to avoid duplication of educational

videos and also would inform members of those available videos. Johnson will contact the committee to see if it wants a list developed from the responses or a brochure to be distributed to the members. Availability of this list could be announced in the News and Events section of the Journal of Dairy Science or in the spring ADSA President's newsletter.

Richardson brought up from the October Executive Committee meeting the discussion on offering membership certificates. The Internal Affairs Committee will check into membership certificates.

C. A. Lassiter has requested travel funding of $1485 to attend the annual meeting of World Association on Animal Production (WAAP). A total of $3000 is budgeted for all travel requests from committee members to attend meetings of those committees the members represent. Bath moved that ADSA pay $432 for Lassiter's registration to attend WAAP's annual meeting. Van Horn seconded the motion. Motion carried. Richardson will notify Lassiter.

Appointment of a new Treasurer of ADSA was discussed. Schultz's term ends June 1989. The new Treasurer would take over at this time for a three-year appointment. Several names were mentioned to fulfill this position. Van Horn will ask those mentioned and make the appointment in April 1989. Verbal agreement is needed before a recommendation can be made.

Next on the agenda was discussion of a request from DFISA to cosponsor the Collegiate Dairy Products Evaluation Contest. Schultz said ADSA already has its own contest and that ADSA should not support DFISA's. Johnson will contact DFISA for further explanation on their proposal.

Johnson asked if there was a possibility of changing ADSA's logo. The present logo, with the blue ink, does not copy as well as another color would. Van Horn said proposals for a new ADSA logo would be welcomed. Bath suggested Johnson check into this change as time per- mitted.

The ADSA midyear meeting will be in St. Louis during the week of October 10, 1988, in conjunction with the 1989 ADSA/ASAS Planning Committee Meeting, the Intersociety Council Meeting, the Management Services Policy Committee Meeting, and the ASAS Executive Committee Meeting.

The meeting adjourned at 9:30 a.m.
