The Poultry Science Association Research Award of five hundred dollars and a scroll was presented to Dr. Kimiaki Maruyama, Department of Poultry Science, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin. The Award is given to a member under forty years of age who, in the preceding year, as sole or senior author, published outstanding research in K Poultry Science. The citation was presented to Dr. Kimiaki Maruyama for two publications during the year of 1976; specifically "Is L-Glutamic Acid Nutritionally A Dispensable Amino Acid for the Young Chick" 1 and "Conditions Affecting Plasma Amino Acid Patterns in Chickens Fed Practical and Purified Diets" 2 . In the former paper, Dr. Maruyama demonstrated that during the early juvenile period of the chick, L-Glutamic acid was more efficacious in promoting optimum growth than any of the other dispensable amino acids. Additionally, he demonstrated biochemically that this growth improvement was probably due to

increased utilization of other nitrogen sources. In the second paper, the effects of feed deprivation on plasma free amino acid concentrations and diurnal variations with ad libitum feeding were studied, along with free plasma amino acid patterns in relationship to various diets and ages of chicks. The results of this study indicate clearly the importance of making measurements of circulating metabolites in relationship to the factors of age, time of day, diet content, and time intervals between feeding periods. With these two papers Dr. Maruyama has made a significant contribution to the general understanding of the nutrition and biochemistry of amino acid metabolism. The presentation was made by Dr. Paul Thaxton on behalf of the Poultry Science Association.
The members of the Poultry Science Association are proud to present the 1977 Ralston Purina Teaching Award to Carmen R. Parkhurst. In a relatively short time, Parkhurst has established himself as an outstanding teacher, advisor, and researcher. Parkhurst is a dynamic, innovative young teacher. He has been recognized as an outstanding teacher twice during the last six years at North Carolina State University. He was instrumental in developing the model classroom for teaching Poultry Science courses. The number of students taking his Poultry Science and Production course has grown annually with over 100 registering this past spring. Parkhurst has developed the undergraduate Poultry Science program which now is recognized as one of the best in the nation. Over the last five years, the number of poultry majors has doubled, culminating this year with the largest number of seniors graduating in Poultry Science in the institution's history. Parkhurst is an enthusiastic advisor to the Poultry Science Club. Under his leadership, the Club was named the "Outstanding Club of the Year" by the Southeastern Poultry Science Club. They also won the Scrapbook Contest. He has also coached a team to win top honors

He has conscientiously helped our industry in applying his research. Dr. Soares, we congratulate you on your achievements and your winning the American Feed Manufacturers Association Award.
standing administrative leadership, that literally transformed and revitalized the Extension Poultry Science Department at the University of Georgia, must be viewed as his most significant contribution to the industry. It is his exceptional quality of leadership coupled with profound and undeniable professional and academic competencies that permitted Shutze to develop and implement programs that have proven, in large measure, effective in maintaining the competitive position of the poultry industry in the state of Georgia. Dr. Shutze has been instrumental in the development of an ingredient monitoring program in which laboratory analysis data are summarized and made available to the industry. He has given extensive leadership to problem-solving research programs that provide quick results for application to field problems for speedy resolution. Pesticide residue analysis work is another example of his ability to direct research toward utilization. In constant demand as a speaker, Shutze has generously cooperated with industry organizations and associations to extend laboratory findings into the broiler and laying houses, feed mills, and egg rooms across his state and nation. His sincere dedication and concern for the well-being of those involved in the poultry industry, as well as his uncommon zeal and ability to get the job done, is a combination rarely found in one individual. The Golden Age of Athens (Ga.) is marked by this remarkable scientist, communicator, teacher, and administrator. From the Rockies of Colorado, where he was born — to the Appalachians of Georgia, where he works — Dr. Shutze is a "mountain" of a man!
