Reorganization of the Board
A D S A Board of Directors 1984--1985: Seated 1 to r. L. D. McGilliard, Editor; J. R. Campbell, Treasurer; N. F. Olson, Vice President; B. R. Baumgardt. President; R. T. Marshall, Past President; C. A. Ert~strom, Associate Editor, and Bill Moore, President Student Affiliate Division. Standing 1to r. R. A. Scbmidt, Assistant Executive Secretary; C. H. White, J, M. White, R. L. Richter, G. H. Richardson, D. G. Braztnd, and H. H. Van Horn,
Directors.
Reorganization of the Board President Marshall called the meeting to order June 27, 1984, at 8:30 a.m. Newly-elected Vice President, N. F. Olson, University of Wisconsin, Madison, and Directors C. H. White, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, and J. M. White, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, were welcomed to the Board. The first item of business was consideration of resolutions. Each resolution was read and discussed. Baumgardt moved that the sixth resolution be recognized as a resolution from the Production Division to the Board of Directors and that the Board inform the membership at the Business Meeting that the resolution had been received by the Board and that the Board would take it under advisement. Mort seconded. Motion carried. Next Marshall introduced Walt Woods, president of ARCAS (American Registry of Certified Animai Scientists), and L. S. Bull, president of the Northeast Section of American Society of Animal Science (ASAS). American
Registry of Certified Animal Scientists is in the process of separating from its parent organization, ASAS, and after the separation will be known as ARPAS (American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists). Woods said ARPAS was still in the process of drawing up its charter and that ARPAS, especially in its transition phase, considered affiliation with the various professional scientific societies to be important. Woods requested the ADSA Board consider affiliation with ARPAS. Affiliation would mean ADSA could nominate two ADSA individuals (who are also members of ARPAS) to be voted on by ARPAS; one of these two would be on the ARPAS governing council. Affiliation would not mean financial commitment by ADSA. However, ARPAS requested that it be allowed in the future to hold some of its annual meetings in con.junction with ADSA; ARPAS hoped to be able to rotate its annual meetings among member societies (PSA, ASAS, AMSA, ADSA) and perhaps
2155
2156
J O U R N A L OF D A I R Y SCIENCE
sometimes to have separate annual meetings. Woods emphasized that the role of ARPAS was not to duplicate roles or services of the existing societies but to complement and strengthen those societies. A specific objective, one of several, of ARPAS is to bring an established recognition of the professionalism of all those in the animal sciences disciplines. The disciplines of animal science often do not gain adequate recognition in the filling of jobs, particularly in some of the government agencies. After considerable discussion, Braund moved ADSA affiliate with ARPAS without financial support and that the ADSA President appoint two members for their election of one to the ARPAS governing council. Van Horn seconded the motion. Motion carried. Next the Board considered the request of the Intersociety Research Committee to endorse the symposium on food animal research. Endorsement would mean paying a share of $12,000 for speakers and honaria. Board members expressed concern that the share of each of the sponsoring societies (PSA, ADSA, ASAS, AMSA) be prorated by size of membership. Effects of sponsorship on the ADSA budget were discussed as well as the need to develop documentation of the cost-return benefits for animal research. It was moved that the Board accept the recommendation of the Research Committee and that ADSA pay its proportionate share of the $12,000 cost for program development, this cost to be prorated on the basis of membership in its professional divisions. Baumgardt seconded the motion. Motion carried. Next, Baumgardt charged the Internal Affairs Committee with several tasks for the upcoming year. First, the committee was to consider requirements for the selection process for the Award of Honor and Distinguished Service Award and to see if the committee would recommend any changes. Second, the committee was to consider the unique role of ADSA in the future. This charge was a continuation of some of the things developed through the survey put out by the Internal Affairs Committee in the hopes that ADSA would be able to highlight and build upon its strengths. Third, the committee was charged to develop plans to improve participation in the Dairy Foods Division by industry people in that area. Forth, the Internal Affairs Committee was Journal of Dairy Science Vol. 67, No. 9, 1984
to develop guidelines for the host institutions in planning the annual meeting. These guidelines would be passed on from institution to institution through the years. Subcommittees were appointed to help the Internal Affairs Committee handle these charges. Gary Richardson (Chairperson), Bill Coleman, Bob Marshall, and Norm Olson formed the subcommittee to improve industry participation in the Dairy Foods Division. Ron Richter (Chairperson), Joe Tobias, Carl Coppock, and Norm Olson would work to establish guidelines for host institutions for the annual meetings. Board representatives were appointed: Richter to the Student Affiliate Division, Braund to the Journal Management Committee, Van Horn and Charles White to the Membership Committee, and Bath to work with the Internal Affairs Committee on a dairy management award. Olson and Freeman were reappointed to the IDF USNAC; Olson as voting member from the Dairy Foods Division and Freeman as nonvoting member from the Production Division. Baumgardt next considered a recommendation to the Board to make a change in appointments to the intersociety committees. All subcommittees are on a 4-year rotation except Extension and Education (see Handbook, p. 245). The mechanics of those two committees cause considerable problems. To establish the rotation initially, one of the members will go an extra year. The Handbook would be changed accordingly. Schultz moved and John White seconded that the rotation of the Extension Committee and the Education Committee be 4 years. Motion carried. Baumgardt appointed members to the Graduate Student Paper Contest Committees upon recommendation from the divisions. The divisions refer candidates for appointment by the President, and it was agreed that in the future it would he more appropriate for the appointments to be made by the division chairpersons, because the division chairperson and the committee need to coordinate functions and work together. Baumgardt said ADSA needed an official representative to the Forum for Animal Agriculture and that this representative needed to be included in the September listing. Campbell was reappointed Treasurer for one year.
ASSOCIATION AF FAIRS Baumgardt announced that Glen Schmidt had agreed to be Associate Editor for the Journal of Dairy Science and that he would begin to receive papers in September. Baumgardt moved the Board commend Bob Schmidt for his capable handling of the load of the Executive Secretary in Claude Cruse's absence. Schultz seconded the motion; motion carried. The Board conveyed its good wishes to Claude Cruse for a speedy recovery. It was discussed and approved that in the future all donors get a donor's badge. There being no further business, the Board adjourned. End of report. ADSA E X E C U T I V E C O M M I T T E E M E E T I N G April 26--27, 1984 Champaign, IL
The ADSA Executive Committee met in the National Office of ADSA on April 26 to conduct interim affairs of the Association. Those present were R. T. Marshall, President; B. R. Baumgardt, Vice President; J. R. Campbell, Treasurer; L. H. Schultz, Past President; and C. J. Cruse, Executive Secretary. Those present toured the facilities at 309 West Clark Street visiting with the employees and observing the method by which the Journal of Dairy Science is produced and administrative duties are performed. The Committee also examined the interior and exterior of the building, and upon the recommendations of the Cain Roofing Company, local contractor, and Cruse the committee approved the expenditure of $1,776.00 to repair the roof of the building owned by ADSA. The meeting of the Executive Committee was called to order at 9:00 a.m., and the first order of business was the approval of the minutes of the October 1983 Executive Committee meeting held in Chicago. After some revisions, the Committee recommended the Board approve the actions taken. Campbell, ADSA Treasurer, reported on income and disbursements for the fiscal year 1983 and budget status. First he presented the Committee with a comparative financial report from 1966 through 1983, which revealed the historical and financial status of ADSA. He pointed out that during this period, 1981 and 1982 were down years with deficit spending in
2157
excess of $129,000, which could be attributed to the growth of the Journal of Dairy Scie~lce, the Diamond Jubilee issue published in 1981, and expenses involved in defense of the civil action suit. The financial report prepared by Virgil F. Lafferty & Son, Champaign, IL was reviewed, and it was noted the total income was $731,917.23 with disbursements at $725,266.08 for a net gain of $6,651.15 for the 1983 fiscal year. This is somewhat better than anticipated in June of 1983, at which time deficit spending of $5,135 was expected. Several of the income and disbursements accounts were discussed as well as the monthly financial report supplied to the Board of Directors. The monthly financial report is somewhat confusing, inasmuch as it cannot be used for a comparison, because the time of receipt of income sources and payment for supplies varies from year to year as much as 2 to 3 weeks. Cruse stated the monthly financial reports were a means of keeping the Board advised of the cash flow of the Association on a monthly basis. The Committee reviewed the revised budget for the fiscal year 1984 based on income and disbursements for 1983 and the first quarter of 1984. An income of $675,350 was projected with expenses of $646,301 for an estimated net gain of $29,049 for the fiscal year 1984. The committee recommended acceptance of the treasurer's report, including the financial report for the fiscal year 1983 and the revised budget for 1984. Cruse reported the office operations were in order and a full staff was functioning in what he felt was a very efficient manner. Due to the efficiency and change in production of operations the National Office has been able to operate with 1 less full-time employee than 2 years ago. The proposed budget for 1984 for the Jour~lal of Dairy Scie~ce was set at 2,750 pages at a cost of $64.60 per page for a total of $177,800. It was pointed out that each 100 pages over or above could change the proposed budget by $6,460 for each 100 pages published in the journal. The Committee discussed the problem of complaints received from members and subscribers to the journal in Canada with regard to the journals being received damaged. It was agreed Marshall would draft a letter addressed Journal of Dairy Science Vol. 67, No. 9, 1984
2158
JOURNAL OF D A I R Y SCIENCE
to Canadian members and subscribers about the use of a tear-resistant envelope at an additional cost of $6.00 per year. If ADSA were to absorb this additional cost it would be in the amount of $1,644 based on the current circulation of journals to Canada. Nonpayment of page charges by authors publishing in the journal was discussed; the policy has been authors or their institutions should pay a part of the cost of publishing in the journal. In one case an institution indicated they had adopted a policy where they would not pay page charges and expected to receive free reprints of any article published in the journal. The Executive Secretary was instructed to proceed with the publishing of one article from this institution that is being processed and to advise this institution that in the future it would be expected to pay the page charge and that no reprints would be sent without a charge. The Committee discussed the discrepancies in forms used by nominators for candidates for the Ralston Purina Teaching Award. One form called for five letters from former students and another form called for two letters from two additional people, one in industry. The Committee agreed to change Form C-2 to read "letters from 3 former students indicating the nominees eligibility with regard to impressions of and influences on students, and letters from two additional people, one of whom is in industry who have employed two or more of the nominees former students indicating impressions and influences." Next to be considered was a clarification of the rules for the Scott Paper Company essay contest to allow one student in production and one in dairy foods to be eligible to apply for the Sani-Prep Dairy Science award. Marshall was requested to clear this change with those involved in the program at the Scott Paper Company. Cruse reported the first draft of the proposed membership brochure had been circulated and response from the Board had been very good. The changes suggested by the Board members were incorporated in a second draft and circulated to the Executive Committee for their consideration at the April meeting. Baumgardt, Chairperson of the ADSA Internal Affairs Committee, was called upon for a report, which was included in the bookJournal of Dairy Science VoL 67, No. 9, 1984
let of the committee and representative reports. Marshall presented an invitation from North Carolina State University, Raleigh, to host the ADSA Annual Meeting in June 26 29, 1988. Also an invitation was presented from Ohio State University, Columbus, to host the Annual Meeting in 1992 with dates to be established. The Executive Committee recommended acceptance of these invitations. Next to be discussed was an international award in dairy production, which is being spearheaded by Roger Hemken with the International Minerals and Chemicals Company, a potential sponsor. Marshall presented a request from C. A. Lassiter, North Carolina State University, for ADSA to consider a study of setting standards for nonfat milk solids in fluid milk. After a discussion the Committee agreed perhaps ADSA should sponsor a symposium or forum on the subject and would advise Gary Lane, Program Chairperson for the 1985 meeting. The Executive Committee discussed in detail the Journal Management Committee report and the length of service of the current Editorin-Chief and Associate Editor. The Executive Committee agreed to make no recommendations at the present time, but Martin would discuss in depth with the Journal Management Committee these positions, and this matter would be an item on the agenda for the annual meeting of the Board of Directors. At the October meeting of the ADSA Executive Committee Cruse requested consideration be given to replacing the Chevrolet owned by ADSA. The car is used for pick-up and delivery and in 1984 the automobile would be 6 years old with in excess of 50,000 miles. After discussion on the present condition of the automobile, no recommendations were made to replace the vehicle. The last item on the agenda for April 26 was the reviewing of committee and representatives reports and making recommendations on the reports for the Board of Directors. On April 6 a call for the annual reports was mailed to the chairpersons of the various ADSA committees and representatives with a request that the annual reports be mailed to the National Office. There were 27 reports received; these were assembled, indexed, and mailed to the Executive Committee for their review prior to the scheduled meeting on April 2 6 - 2 7 , 1984.

MarshaiI introduced the new President, B. R. Baumgardt, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN; Vice President, N. F. Olson, University of Wisconsin, Madison; Directors, J. M. White, Virginia Tech, Blackburg; and C. H. White, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge. Officers from the Southern Branch were: President, A, H. Rakes; Vice President, G. T. Lane; and Secretary-Treasurer, J. A. Collins. Officers from the Northeast Branch were President, R. D. Smith, and Vice President, H. F. Tyrrell. The Treasurer was not yet appointed. Marshall announced that Glen Schmidt would become the new Associate Editor of the Journal of Dairy Science beginning January 1, 1985, and that he would begin receiving manuscripts after returning to the US in late August. Baumgardt reported on major actions of the Board of Directors. (These actions are reported in detail on the preceding pages.) Journal of Dairy Science Vol. 67, No. 9, 1984
Campbell presented the Treasurer's report. Income and expenditures for the last 2 yr were summarized in the Statement of Earnings. Campbell noted the $89,567.99 deficit of the year ending December 31, 1982, largely had corrected itself with the end of the civil action suit, as could be seen by the net earnings for the year ending December 31, 1983. Campbell said the financial status of the Association was expected to continue to improve for the year ending December 31, 1984. The approved budget for next year shows a projected balance at the end of the year of between $10,000 to $15,000. Report approved. Because of illness the Executive Secretary, Claude Cruse, was not able to present his report and several items he normally would have reported were presented later. Production Division Report. Gary Lane, Chairperson of the Production Division, presented his report. There were 299 papers presented in the Production Division at this year's meeting. Of these papers, 24 were poster papers and 19 were Graduate Student Paper Contest papers. Additionally there were 3 symposia and 2 invited papers. These were presented in 36 sessions. A set of guidelines was prepared at the request of the Production Division Council to help to guide and direct committee chairpersons. The guidelines were developed by Larry Smith and Gary Lane and distributed to the committees. It is hoped that these guidelines would be included in the Handbook eventually. The Production Division program was conducted on a budget of $3500 from ADSA; there were no outside funds or sponsorship of speakers this year. New Production Division officers are J. H. Clark, Chairperson; N. A. Jorgensen, Vice Chairperson; L. D. Muller, Secretary. J. T. Huber was elected to the Council this year and J. H. White was elected to the ADSA Board of Directors from the Production Division. The Production Division passed three resolutions that were forwarded to the Resolutions Committee for action. Report accepted. Dairy Foods Division Report. Charles White presented the Dairy Foods Division Report. The Dairy Foods Division had 103 submitted papers this year and 4 symposia. Chairperson for the next year will be Bob Sellars. The two
ASSOCIATION AFFAIRS newly elected members of the Division are Dave Barbano, Dairy Foods Research, and John Buhrn, representing the Business and Industry Section. One of the symposia we sponsored this year was supported by the Dairy Research Foundation for $3000; this money went to bring a speaker from New Zealand. The Division benefited from and appreciated this support. Gary Richardson brought up an item important to the Dairy Foods Division and to ADSA; this was the support of the Sta,,~dard
Methods for Examination of Dairy Products. Currently the American Public Health Association is responsible for the support of it, and there is some question as to whether this is right or what should be the role, if any, of ADSA in this. The Dairy Foods Division went on record as supporting an ad hoc committee being formed with Richardson as Chairperson for exploratory work to see what could or should be done. This information is then to be reported to the Executive Committee. The Program Committee for next year has met, and there are 4 sumposia already planned for next year with one probably being joint with the Production Division. The report was approved. Student Affiliate Division Report. The Student Affiliate Division report was presented by Mark MeGuire. There were approximately 136 students at each meeting of the Student Affiliate Division. New officers are Bill Moore, President, Tennessee; Sherry Glenn, First Vice President, Ohio State University; Karen Larson, Second Vice President, University of Minnesota; Janet Stiles, Third Vice President, Virginia Tech; Dan Schumacher, Secretary-Treasurer, University of Illinois; Kim Kreble, Officerat-Large, Pennsylvania State University. Mike Barnes was elected First Year Advisor, Les Hansen Second Year Advisor, and Dave Dickson Third Year Advisor. There were 11 papers presented in the Production Division with Jim Spain, North Carolina State University, winning that contest and Liz Gress from Ohio State University, winning in the Dairy Foods Division, where there were 8 papers. The Pennsylvania State University and Virginia Tech tied in the chapter contest, 90.35 points each. Dave Dickson was Outstanding Advisor and Anne Powell from Virginia Tech was voted Outstanding Student.

McGuire stated it had been his pleasure and honor to serve on the Board and to work with Baumgardt, Marshall, and the parent organization. On behalf of the Student Affiliate Division, he thanked the parent organization for its support and Bob Schmidt and the National Office. The Student Affiliate Division this year was trying to work more closely with the parent organization and had two speakers from the parent organization, Mike Hutjens and Dave Dickson. The Student Affiliate Division also thanked Carl Coppock and the Texas A&M people for organizing a fine meeting. McGuire personally thanked Larry Muller, retiring advisor to the Student Affiliate Division, and also the people at Illinois for their support and assistance. Report approved. Marshall presented the necrology report. Members who died during the past year were: H. A. Bendixen, Pullman, WA; L. A. Burkey, Silver Spring, MD: F. J. Doan, State College, PA; L. R. Dowd, Storrs, CT, R. E. Erb, Olympia, WA; E. A. Gannon, West Lafayette, IN; H. W. Gregory, West Lafayette, IN; L. H. Lockhart, Woodland, CA; E. J. Perry, Highland Park, NJ; D. N. Putnam, University Park, PA; C. Y. Wylie, Knoxville, TN; R. S. Allen, Baton Rouge, LA; Alfred O. Shaw, Pullman, WA. These members were remembered with a m o m e n t of silence. Marshall read the names of 10 new Life Members of ADSA: D. C. Church, Corvallis, OR; Norman Eisenstein, Chicago, IL: F. E. Elliott, DeForest, Wl;W. S. Gaunya, Storrs, CT; E. C.

4) Whereas Dr. Lon D. McGilliard has diligently, faithfully, and professionally served as Associate Editor and Editor of the Journal of Dairy Science for 15 years, and whereas during this period the journal of Dairy Science has grown in stature, reputation, and size; now therefore, be it resolved that the members of the American Dairy Science Association express their gratitude to Dr. McGilliard for his dedicated service, personal sacrifices, and outstanding contributions to society. 5) Whereas the dairy industry is economically stressed, largely because of the production of excesses of consumer purchases, and whereas the economic status of the dairy industry affects the entire society as well as all facets of the industry, and whereas the Secretary of
ASSOCIATION AFFAIRS Agriculture recently appointed an industry committee to "administer a dairy promotion, research, and nutrition program," and whereas the American Dairy Science Association has its roots in the dairy industry and has members uniquely qualified by training and background to offer advice that might be helpful in achieving the objectives of the committee; now therefore, be it resolved that the American Dairy Science Association stands ready to assist in whatever way it can. All resolutions were approved. Baumgardt presented the results of the survey of the Internal Affairs Committee. There were about 350 respondents to the survey, 250 of those from dairy production, about 80 from dairy foods, and some others showing equal interest. Because the questionnaire was open-ended and did not have specific answers from which to choose, any item that came up 15 or more times was considered to be frequent. One of the questions asked what were one or two disciplines or subject areas in which ADSA and Journal of Dairy Science should strive for special leadership roles. Lactation, milk secretion, and mammary physiology including mastitis had 150 responses. Milk products, product development, and manufacturing had 60 responses. When asked what would make the journal better, 18 said more critical review" would. The Journal Management Committee should be looking into suggestions to publish
2163
dairy foods and production papers separately on alternate months and to allow members a choice of one or more parts of the journal. Members also favored encouraging industry to publish their research and development and new products results in the journal. When asked what suggestions might improve the scientific aspects of the annual meeting, many said the meetings were done well. However, increased use of posters, greater numbers of symposia and fewer shorter papers, closer scrutiny of abstracts before accepting, and better quality of papers were frequent responses. Members were asked how important it was to have the meetings on university campuses; 243 thought it was important. Of the program for spouses, 42 said it was not essential but nice; 102 thought it not important; 134 said it was important or very important. Asked whether they would object to a back-to-back ADSA-ASAS meeting, 82 members said they would object, and 302 said they would not; many were concerned about the burden of a back-to-back meeting on the host institution. One other comment was that the extensive spouse and children's programs as in present procedures, probably prevent smaller institutions from hosting the meetings. The survey provided ideas and concerns for several committees to work with during the coming year. There being no further business, Marshall passed the gavel to Baumgardt. The meeting was adjourned.

Directors.
Reorganization of the Board President Marshall called the meeting to order June 27, 1984, at 8:30 a.m. Newly-elected Vice President, N. F. Olson, University of Wisconsin, Madison, and Directors C. H. White, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, and J. M. White, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, were welcomed to the Board. The first item of business was consideration of resolutions. Each resolution was read and discussed. Baumgardt moved that the sixth resolution be recognized as a resolution from the Production Division to the Board of Directors and that the Board inform the membership at the Business Meeting that the resolution had been received by the Board and that the Board would take it under advisement. Mort seconded. Motion carried. Next Marshall introduced Walt Woods, president of ARCAS (American Registry of Certified Animai Scientists), and L. S. Bull, president of the Northeast Section of American Society of Animal Science (ASAS). American
Registry of Certified Animal Scientists is in the process of separating from its parent organization, ASAS, and after the separation will be known as ARPAS (American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists). Woods said ARPAS was still in the process of drawing up its charter and that ARPAS, especially in its transition phase, considered affiliation with the various professional scientific societies to be important. Woods requested the ADSA Board consider affiliation with ARPAS. Affiliation would mean ADSA could nominate two ADSA individuals (who are also members of ARPAS) to be voted on by ARPAS; one of these two would be on the ARPAS governing council. Affiliation would not mean financial commitment by ADSA. However, ARPAS requested that it be allowed in the future to hold some of its annual meetings in con.junction with ADSA; ARPAS hoped to be able to rotate its annual meetings among member societies (PSA, ASAS, AMSA, ADSA) and perhaps
2155
2156
J O U R N A L OF D A I R Y SCIENCE
sometimes to have separate annual meetings. Woods emphasized that the role of ARPAS was not to duplicate roles or services of the existing societies but to complement and strengthen those societies. A specific objective, one of several, of ARPAS is to bring an established recognition of the professionalism of all those in the animal sciences disciplines. The disciplines of animal science often do not gain adequate recognition in the filling of jobs, particularly in some of the government agencies. After considerable discussion, Braund moved ADSA affiliate with ARPAS without financial support and that the ADSA President appoint two members for their election of one to the ARPAS governing council. Van Horn seconded the motion. Motion carried. Next the Board considered the request of the Intersociety Research Committee to endorse the symposium on food animal research. Endorsement would mean paying a share of $12,000 for speakers and honaria. Board members expressed concern that the share of each of the sponsoring societies (PSA, ADSA, ASAS, AMSA) be prorated by size of membership. Effects of sponsorship on the ADSA budget were discussed as well as the need to develop documentation of the cost-return benefits for animal research. It was moved that the Board accept the recommendation of the Research Committee and that ADSA pay its proportionate share of the $12,000 cost for program development, this cost to be prorated on the basis of membership in its professional divisions. Baumgardt seconded the motion. Motion carried. Next, Baumgardt charged the Internal Affairs Committee with several tasks for the upcoming year. First, the committee was to consider requirements for the selection process for the Award of Honor and Distinguished Service Award and to see if the committee would recommend any changes. Second, the committee was to consider the unique role of ADSA in the future. This charge was a continuation of some of the things developed through the survey put out by the Internal Affairs Committee in the hopes that ADSA would be able to highlight and build upon its strengths. Third, the committee was charged to develop plans to improve participation in the Dairy Foods Division by industry people in that area. Forth, the Internal Affairs Committee was Journal of Dairy Science Vol. 67, No. 9, 1984
to develop guidelines for the host institutions in planning the annual meeting. These guidelines would be passed on from institution to institution through the years. Subcommittees were appointed to help the Internal Affairs Committee handle these charges. Gary Richardson (Chairperson), Bill Coleman, Bob Marshall, and Norm Olson formed the subcommittee to improve industry participation in the Dairy Foods Division. Ron Richter (Chairperson), Joe Tobias, Carl Coppock, and Norm Olson would work to establish guidelines for host institutions for the annual meetings. Board representatives were appointed: Richter to the Student Affiliate Division, Braund to the Journal Management Committee, Van Horn and Charles White to the Membership Committee, and Bath to work with the Internal Affairs Committee on a dairy management award. Olson and Freeman were reappointed to the IDF USNAC; Olson as voting member from the Dairy Foods Division and Freeman as nonvoting member from the Production Division. Baumgardt next considered a recommendation to the Board to make a change in appointments to the intersociety committees. All subcommittees are on a 4-year rotation except Extension and Education (see Handbook, p. 245). The mechanics of those two committees cause considerable problems. To establish the rotation initially, one of the members will go an extra year. The Handbook would be changed accordingly. Schultz moved and John White seconded that the rotation of the Extension Committee and the Education Committee be 4 years. Motion carried. Baumgardt appointed members to the Graduate Student Paper Contest Committees upon recommendation from the divisions. The divisions refer candidates for appointment by the President, and it was agreed that in the future it would he more appropriate for the appointments to be made by the division chairpersons, because the division chairperson and the committee need to coordinate functions and work together. Baumgardt said ADSA needed an official representative to the Forum for Animal Agriculture and that this representative needed to be included in the September listing. Campbell was reappointed Treasurer for one year.
ASSOCIATION AF FAIRS Baumgardt announced that Glen Schmidt had agreed to be Associate Editor for the Journal of Dairy Science and that he would begin to receive papers in September. Baumgardt moved the Board commend Bob Schmidt for his capable handling of the load of the Executive Secretary in Claude Cruse's absence. Schultz seconded the motion; motion carried. The Board conveyed its good wishes to Claude Cruse for a speedy recovery. It was discussed and approved that in the future all donors get a donor's badge. There being no further business, the Board adjourned. End of report. ADSA E X E C U T I V E C O M M I T T E E M E E T I N G April 26--27, 1984 Champaign, IL
The ADSA Executive Committee met in the National Office of ADSA on April 26 to conduct interim affairs of the Association. Those present were R. T. Marshall, President; B. R. Baumgardt, Vice President; J. R. Campbell, Treasurer; L. H. Schultz, Past President; and C. J. Cruse, Executive Secretary. Those present toured the facilities at 309 West Clark Street visiting with the employees and observing the method by which the Journal of Dairy Science is produced and administrative duties are performed. The Committee also examined the interior and exterior of the building, and upon the recommendations of the Cain Roofing Company, local contractor, and Cruse the committee approved the expenditure of $1,776.00 to repair the roof of the building owned by ADSA. The meeting of the Executive Committee was called to order at 9:00 a.m., and the first order of business was the approval of the minutes of the October 1983 Executive Committee meeting held in Chicago. After some revisions, the Committee recommended the Board approve the actions taken. Campbell, ADSA Treasurer, reported on income and disbursements for the fiscal year 1983 and budget status. First he presented the Committee with a comparative financial report from 1966 through 1983, which revealed the historical and financial status of ADSA. He pointed out that during this period, 1981 and 1982 were down years with deficit spending in
2157
excess of $129,000, which could be attributed to the growth of the Journal of Dairy Scie~lce, the Diamond Jubilee issue published in 1981, and expenses involved in defense of the civil action suit. The financial report prepared by Virgil F. Lafferty & Son, Champaign, IL was reviewed, and it was noted the total income was $731,917.23 with disbursements at $725,266.08 for a net gain of $6,651.15 for the 1983 fiscal year. This is somewhat better than anticipated in June of 1983, at which time deficit spending of $5,135 was expected. Several of the income and disbursements accounts were discussed as well as the monthly financial report supplied to the Board of Directors. The monthly financial report is somewhat confusing, inasmuch as it cannot be used for a comparison, because the time of receipt of income sources and payment for supplies varies from year to year as much as 2 to 3 weeks. Cruse stated the monthly financial reports were a means of keeping the Board advised of the cash flow of the Association on a monthly basis. The Committee reviewed the revised budget for the fiscal year 1984 based on income and disbursements for 1983 and the first quarter of 1984. An income of $675,350 was projected with expenses of $646,301 for an estimated net gain of $29,049 for the fiscal year 1984. The committee recommended acceptance of the treasurer's report, including the financial report for the fiscal year 1983 and the revised budget for 1984. Cruse reported the office operations were in order and a full staff was functioning in what he felt was a very efficient manner. Due to the efficiency and change in production of operations the National Office has been able to operate with 1 less full-time employee than 2 years ago. The proposed budget for 1984 for the Jour~lal of Dairy Scie~ce was set at 2,750 pages at a cost of $64.60 per page for a total of $177,800. It was pointed out that each 100 pages over or above could change the proposed budget by $6,460 for each 100 pages published in the journal. The Committee discussed the problem of complaints received from members and subscribers to the journal in Canada with regard to the journals being received damaged. It was agreed Marshall would draft a letter addressed Journal of Dairy Science Vol. 67, No. 9, 1984
2158
JOURNAL OF D A I R Y SCIENCE
to Canadian members and subscribers about the use of a tear-resistant envelope at an additional cost of $6.00 per year. If ADSA were to absorb this additional cost it would be in the amount of $1,644 based on the current circulation of journals to Canada. Nonpayment of page charges by authors publishing in the journal was discussed; the policy has been authors or their institutions should pay a part of the cost of publishing in the journal. In one case an institution indicated they had adopted a policy where they would not pay page charges and expected to receive free reprints of any article published in the journal. The Executive Secretary was instructed to proceed with the publishing of one article from this institution that is being processed and to advise this institution that in the future it would be expected to pay the page charge and that no reprints would be sent without a charge. The Committee discussed the discrepancies in forms used by nominators for candidates for the Ralston Purina Teaching Award. One form called for five letters from former students and another form called for two letters from two additional people, one in industry. The Committee agreed to change Form C-2 to read "letters from 3 former students indicating the nominees eligibility with regard to impressions of and influences on students, and letters from two additional people, one of whom is in industry who have employed two or more of the nominees former students indicating impressions and influences." Next to be considered was a clarification of the rules for the Scott Paper Company essay contest to allow one student in production and one in dairy foods to be eligible to apply for the Sani-Prep Dairy Science award. Marshall was requested to clear this change with those involved in the program at the Scott Paper Company. Cruse reported the first draft of the proposed membership brochure had been circulated and response from the Board had been very good. The changes suggested by the Board members were incorporated in a second draft and circulated to the Executive Committee for their consideration at the April meeting. Baumgardt, Chairperson of the ADSA Internal Affairs Committee, was called upon for a report, which was included in the bookJournal of Dairy Science VoL 67, No. 9, 1984
let of the committee and representative reports. Marshall presented an invitation from North Carolina State University, Raleigh, to host the ADSA Annual Meeting in June 26 29, 1988. Also an invitation was presented from Ohio State University, Columbus, to host the Annual Meeting in 1992 with dates to be established. The Executive Committee recommended acceptance of these invitations. Next to be discussed was an international award in dairy production, which is being spearheaded by Roger Hemken with the International Minerals and Chemicals Company, a potential sponsor. Marshall presented a request from C. A. Lassiter, North Carolina State University, for ADSA to consider a study of setting standards for nonfat milk solids in fluid milk. After a discussion the Committee agreed perhaps ADSA should sponsor a symposium or forum on the subject and would advise Gary Lane, Program Chairperson for the 1985 meeting. The Executive Committee discussed in detail the Journal Management Committee report and the length of service of the current Editorin-Chief and Associate Editor. The Executive Committee agreed to make no recommendations at the present time, but Martin would discuss in depth with the Journal Management Committee these positions, and this matter would be an item on the agenda for the annual meeting of the Board of Directors. At the October meeting of the ADSA Executive Committee Cruse requested consideration be given to replacing the Chevrolet owned by ADSA. The car is used for pick-up and delivery and in 1984 the automobile would be 6 years old with in excess of 50,000 miles. After discussion on the present condition of the automobile, no recommendations were made to replace the vehicle. The last item on the agenda for April 26 was the reviewing of committee and representatives reports and making recommendations on the reports for the Board of Directors. On April 6 a call for the annual reports was mailed to the chairpersons of the various ADSA committees and representatives with a request that the annual reports be mailed to the National Office. There were 27 reports received; these were assembled, indexed, and mailed to the Executive Committee for their review prior to the scheduled meeting on April 2 6 - 2 7 , 1984.

White, Virginia Tech, Blackburg; and C. H. White, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge. Officers from the Southern Branch were: President, A, H. Rakes; Vice President, G. T. Lane; and Secretary-Treasurer, J. A. Collins. Officers from the Northeast Branch were President, R. D. Smith, and Vice President, H. F. Tyrrell. The Treasurer was not yet appointed. Marshall announced that Glen Schmidt would become the new Associate Editor of the Journal of Dairy Science beginning January 1, 1985, and that he would begin receiving manuscripts after returning to the US in late August. Baumgardt reported on major actions of the Board of Directors. (These actions are reported in detail on the preceding pages.) Journal of Dairy Science Vol. 67, No. 9, 1984
Campbell presented the Treasurer's report. Income and expenditures for the last 2 yr were summarized in the Statement of Earnings. Campbell noted the $89,567.99 deficit of the year ending December 31, 1982, largely had corrected itself with the end of the civil action suit, as could be seen by the net earnings for the year ending December 31, 1983. Campbell said the financial status of the Association was expected to continue to improve for the year ending December 31, 1984. The approved budget for next year shows a projected balance at the end of the year of between $10,000 to $15,000. Report approved. Because of illness the Executive Secretary, Claude Cruse, was not able to present his report and several items he normally would have reported were presented later. Production Division Report. Gary Lane, Chairperson of the Production Division, presented his report. There were 299 papers presented in the Production Division at this year's meeting. Of these papers, 24 were poster papers and 19 were Graduate Student Paper Contest papers. Additionally there were 3 symposia and 2 invited papers. These were presented in 36 sessions. A set of guidelines was prepared at the request of the Production Division Council to help to guide and direct committee chairpersons. The guidelines were developed by Larry Smith and Gary Lane and distributed to the committees. It is hoped that these guidelines would be included in the Handbook eventually. The Production Division program was conducted on a budget of $3500 from ADSA; there were no outside funds or sponsorship of speakers this year. New Production Division officers are J. H. Clark, Chairperson; N. A. Jorgensen, Vice Chairperson; L. D. Muller, Secretary. J. T. Huber was elected to the Council this year and J. H. White was elected to the ADSA Board of Directors from the Production Division. The Production Division passed three resolutions that were forwarded to the Resolutions Committee for action. Report accepted. Dairy Foods Division Report. Charles White presented the Dairy Foods Division Report. The Dairy Foods Division had 103 submitted papers this year and 4 symposia. Chairperson for the next year will be Bob Sellars. The two
ASSOCIATION AFFAIRS newly elected members of the Division are Dave Barbano, Dairy Foods Research, and John Buhrn, representing the Business and Industry Section. One of the symposia we sponsored this year was supported by the Dairy Research Foundation for $3000; this money went to bring a speaker from New Zealand. The Division benefited from and appreciated this support. Gary Richardson brought up an item important to the Dairy Foods Division and to ADSA; this was the support of the Sta,,~dard
Methods for Examination of Dairy Products. Currently the American Public Health Association is responsible for the support of it, and there is some question as to whether this is right or what should be the role, if any, of ADSA in this. The Dairy Foods Division went on record as supporting an ad hoc committee being formed with Richardson as Chairperson for exploratory work to see what could or should be done. This information is then to be reported to the Executive Committee. The Program Committee for next year has met, and there are 4 sumposia already planned for next year with one probably being joint with the Production Division. The report was approved. Student Affiliate Division Report. The Student Affiliate Division report was presented by Mark MeGuire. There were approximately 136 students at each meeting of the Student Affiliate Division. New officers are Bill Moore, President, Tennessee; Sherry Glenn, First Vice President, Ohio State University; Karen Larson, Second Vice President, University of Minnesota; Janet Stiles, Third Vice President, Virginia Tech; Dan Schumacher, Secretary-Treasurer, University of Illinois; Kim Kreble, Officerat-Large, Pennsylvania State University. Mike Barnes was elected First Year Advisor, Les Hansen Second Year Advisor, and Dave Dickson Third Year Advisor. There were 11 papers presented in the Production Division with Jim Spain, North Carolina State University, winning that contest and Liz Gress from Ohio State University, winning in the Dairy Foods Division, where there were 8 papers. The Pennsylvania State University and Virginia Tech tied in the chapter contest, 90.35 points each. Dave Dickson was Outstanding Advisor and Anne Powell from Virginia Tech was voted Outstanding Student.

McGuire stated it had been his pleasure and honor to serve on the Board and to work with Baumgardt, Marshall, and the parent organization. On behalf of the Student Affiliate Division, he thanked the parent organization for its support and Bob Schmidt and the National Office. The Student Affiliate Division this year was trying to work more closely with the parent organization and had two speakers from the parent organization, Mike Hutjens and Dave Dickson. The Student Affiliate Division also thanked Carl Coppock and the Texas A&M people for organizing a fine meeting. McGuire personally thanked Larry Muller, retiring advisor to the Student Affiliate Division, and also the people at Illinois for their support and assistance. Report approved. Marshall presented the necrology report. Members who died during the past year were: H. A. Bendixen, Pullman, WA; L. A. Burkey, Silver Spring, MD: F. J. Doan, State College, PA; L. R. Dowd, Storrs, CT, R. E. Erb, Olympia, WA; E. A. Gannon, West Lafayette, IN; H. W. Gregory, West Lafayette, IN; L. H. Lockhart, Woodland, CA; E. J. Perry, Highland Park, NJ; D. N. Putnam, University Park, PA; C. Y. Wylie, Knoxville, TN; R. S. Allen, Baton Rouge, LA; Alfred O. Shaw, Pullman, WA. These members were remembered with a m o m e n t of silence. Marshall read the names of 10 new Life Members of ADSA: D. C. Church, Corvallis, OR; Norman Eisenstein, Chicago, IL: F. E. Elliott, DeForest, Wl;W. S. Gaunya, Storrs, CT; E. C.

Resolutions Committee Report. G. E. Stoddard, Resolutions Committee Chairperson, presented the resolutions: 1) Whereas the Texas A&M University has effectively hosted the 1984 Annual Meeting of the American Dairy Science Association, and whereas the facilities, equipment, accomodations, and programs helped make the meetings and special programs highly successful, and whereas the true spirit of Texas hospitality has been the keynote of all the host staff; now therefore, be it resolved the officers of the American Dairy Science Association express a big Texas thanks to the Texas A&M administration and staff for their efforts in making the Journal of Dairy Science Vol. 67, No. 9, 1984

4) Whereas Dr. Lon D. McGilliard has diligently, faithfully, and professionally served as Associate Editor and Editor of the Journal of Dairy Science for 15 years, and whereas during this period the journal of Dairy Science has grown in stature, reputation, and size; now therefore, be it resolved that the members of the American Dairy Science Association express their gratitude to Dr. McGilliard for his dedicated service, personal sacrifices, and outstanding contributions to society. 5) Whereas the dairy industry is economically stressed, largely because of the production of excesses of consumer purchases, and whereas the economic status of the dairy industry affects the entire society as well as all facets of the industry, and whereas the Secretary of
ASSOCIATION AFFAIRS Agriculture recently appointed an industry committee to "administer a dairy promotion, research, and nutrition program," and whereas the American Dairy Science Association has its roots in the dairy industry and has members uniquely qualified by training and background to offer advice that might be helpful in achieving the objectives of the committee; now therefore, be it resolved that the American Dairy Science Association stands ready to assist in whatever way it can. All resolutions were approved. Baumgardt presented the results of the survey of the Internal Affairs Committee. There were about 350 respondents to the survey, 250 of those from dairy production, about 80 from dairy foods, and some others showing equal interest. Because the questionnaire was open-ended and did not have specific answers from which to choose, any item that came up 15 or more times was considered to be frequent. One of the questions asked what were one or two disciplines or subject areas in which ADSA and Journal of Dairy Science should strive for special leadership roles. Lactation, milk secretion, and mammary physiology including mastitis had 150 responses. Milk products, product development, and manufacturing had 60 responses. When asked what would make the journal better, 18 said more critical review" would. The Journal Management Committee should be looking into suggestions to publish
2163
dairy foods and production papers separately on alternate months and to allow members a choice of one or more parts of the journal. Members also favored encouraging industry to publish their research and development and new products results in the journal. When asked what suggestions might improve the scientific aspects of the annual meeting, many said the meetings were done well. However, increased use of posters, greater numbers of symposia and fewer shorter papers, closer scrutiny of abstracts before accepting, and better quality of papers were frequent responses. Members were asked how important it was to have the meetings on university campuses; 243 thought it was important. Of the program for spouses, 42 said it was not essential but nice; 102 thought it not important; 134 said it was important or very important. Asked whether they would object to a back-to-back ADSA-ASAS meeting, 82 members said they would object, and 302 said they would not; many were concerned about the burden of a back-to-back meeting on the host institution. One other comment was that the extensive spouse and children's programs as in present procedures, probably prevent smaller institutions from hosting the meetings. The survey provided ideas and concerns for several committees to work with during the coming year. There being no further business, Marshall passed the gavel to Baumgardt. The meeting was adjourned.
