The Board of Directors' Meeting was called to order by President Boyd on June 22, 1974, at 0800. J. B. Stone and D. M. Irvine, Univer- sity of Guelph, welcomed the officers, directors and editors to the University and presented each member with a souvenir plate of the City of Guelph.

Director L. J. Boyd moved to approve the minutes of the 1973 meeting as published in the Journal of Dairy Science, Volume 56, Num- ber 9, September 1973. The motion was seconded by Director VanDemark and the minutes were approved.

President Boyd reported on the election of the Vice-President and Directors held on June 1, 1974. L. G. Harmon, Michigan State University, East Lansing, was elected Vice-Pres- ident and C. A. Ernstrom, Utah State Univer- sity, Logan, and L. H. Schultz, University of

Wisconsin, Madison, were elected Directors for a three year period. President Boyd also announced the appointment of C. A. Ernstrom as Associate Editor representing the manufacturing area to complete the term vacated by J. E. Kinsella, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York.

The next item to be considered by the Board was any old or unfinished business and in its absence, the Executive Committee reported.

E x e c u t i v e Committee. The Executive Com- mittee met following the annual meeting of the Program Planning Committee in St. Louis, Missouri, to conduct interim affairs of the As- sociation. Those present were E. N. Boyd, J. E. Legates, N. L. Jacobson, and C. J. Cruse. L. D. McGilliard, Editor-in-Chief, was invited to attend the meeting of the Executive Com- mittee.

The Committee discussed the registration fees for the 1974 annual meeting in view of the increased travel expenses of invited speakers and reaffirmed the policy that registration fees should be set to insure an annual meeting be self-supporting. December 3, 1973 was designated the date for the Executive Secre- tary to visit the host institution and inspect the facilities, set prices for University housing and meals, and meet with the chairmen of the

various committees arranging fox" the annual meeting.

E. N. Boyd presented a letter from S. L. Inhorn, State Laboratory of Hygiene, stating the Committee on Laboratory Standards and Prac- tices of the American Public Health Associa- tion had appointed an editorial committee to prepare a new publication on quality control in laboratories. Inhorn requested ADSA en- dorse this proposal and appoint an ADSA member to participate in the preparation of the volume. The Executive Committee endorsed the project and recommended that Boyd appoint Gary Richardson, Utah State University, Logan, as the ADSA representative.

The Committee discussed the invitation re~ eeived from Michigan State University, East Lansing, to host a joint meeting in 1978 of ADSA and ASAS. The invitation was for a ioint meeting and not a back to back meeting of the two organizations or two meetings at the same time and location. Boyd was requested to contact C. A. Lassiter for a full proposal with regard to the joint meeting and submit a report for the annual meetings of the Executive Committee of ASAS and the Board of Directors of ADSA at the 1974 annual meetings.

The suggestion for ADSA to publish a popular or applied Journal was the next item considered. It was pointed out that the Journal now provides for articles that would be published in a popular or applied Journal under the heading of Technical Notes and Our In- dustry Today. Cruse stated in 1965 a Commit- tee was apl~ointed to study this question (JDS 48:1265) and the Committee functioned one year and recommended in 1966 this type of publication not be undertaken (JDS 49: 1177).

N. L. Jacobsen reported on the status of the contents of the Journal of Dairy Science being reinstated in Life Sciences section of Current Contents. Efforts on the part of Jacobsen to date have not been effective and McGilliard was requested to contact the Editor on the matter. Cruse reported that Current Contents has received a complimentary copy of the Journal for several years.

The Executive Committee received a report and recommendations from the Journal Man- agement Committee with regard to editorial functions connected with the Journal of Dairy Science. In view of the resignation of the Asso- ciate Editor, the Journal Management Commit- tee considered changes in procedures as fol- lows: (1) return manuscripts to authors as many times as necessary to get them in first-

class condition. (2) appoint full time Editor- in-Chief with allowance of sufficient funds to do the job. (3) appoint three Associate Edi- tors in each manufacturing and production area. (4) employ a part time scientific editor to assist the Editor-in-Chief and the Associ- ate Editors.

Item number four was recommended by the Journal Management Committee with a trial period of three to four months at a cost of $475 per month.

The Executive Committee discussed the present arrangement established by the Board in 1969 and consulted McGilliard on the present procedures and recommendations of the Journal Management Committee. After con- siderable discussion the Committee rejected the proposal on the basis of: (1) cost; (2) de- sire to fully test the present system; (3) production problems; (4) fragmentation of effort (adding another layer of editing); (5) time in reviewing papers; (6) lack of familiarity with technical personnel in the field of dairy science; (7) currently no problems in processing papers in the production area; (8) proposal would not save time for Editors; and (9) current Editorial Assistant's work quite satis- factory.

Until an Associate Editor was appointed, MeGilliard agreed to process the manufacturing manuscripts for the Journal.

The financial status of the Association was reviewed and no changes were recommended as it appeared that a net gain would be re- corded for the fiscal year.

There being no further business for the Committee, the meeting was adjourned at 1830h with the next meeting of the Commit- tee scheduled for April 5-6, 1974.

The Executive Committee of the Board met in Champaign, Illinois, on April 5-6, 1974, to receive, review and form recommendations on annual committee and representative reports, and conduct interim affairs of the Association. Those present were E. N. Boyd, J. E. Legates, N. L. Jacobsen, and Claude Cruse. Bovd, Presi- dent, led the discussion of submitted reports. The original reports are on file in the National Office.

Editor-in-Chief. Recommend acceptance. The Committee discussed the decrease of sixty some papers published in 1973 compared to 1970. 1971 and 1972. Also noted was the nine month time from receipt of manuscript to final acceptance for publication in the Journal. Cruse reported there were 300 less pages published in 1973, resulting in the cost of the Journal being approximately $3,200 less than

absence of J. S. Taylor, Treasurer, no action was taken other than to accept and approve the distribution of the financ al report to the officers and directors of the Association. Cruse suggested that budgets for 1974 and 1975 stand as previously approved and any revisions required would be made by the Treasurer at- the annual meeting of the Board of Directors in June 1974. Request for financial support from AIBS, SMC, and AAALAC was received in January, February and March 1974. The Executive Committee did not recommend financial support based on the activities of the Association and benefits to be derived.

Beginning in 1937 the Borden Foundation, Inc., agreed with ADSA to recognize two outstanding scientists annually, one in the area of dairy production and one in dairy manufacturing. These two awards were presented through 1967, when ADSA was notified only one award would be available annually.

During the last two years requests to rein- state the second award have been considered. On July 25, 1974, James Roseboro, President, Borden Foundation, Inc., said the Borden Board of Directors disapproved the request but the award currently in effect could be al- ternated between the fields of dairy production and dairy manufacturing.

Treasurer's Report. The balance sheet prepared by Lafferty & Son, Champaign, Illinois, and distributed from the National Office of ADSA reveals an increase in the net worth of $11,427 in 1973.

President Boyd called upon J. E. Legates as Vice-President to report to the members on the action of the Board of Directors during the past year. Legates highlighted the actions of the Board which are reported earlier in this re,. port and announced the resignation of Treas- urer by J. S. Taylor. A standing ovation was given to Joe for his years of dedicated service as a Director of the Association, member of the Finance Committee and Treasurer of ADSA. Legates also announced that the immediate Past President, E. N. Boyd, would serve as Treasm-er dtuing the coming year.

Legates outlined the new committee members that were appointed at the reorganization of the Board and can be found following this report.

Treasurer's Report. The ADSA balance sheet for the fiscal year 1973 was distr buted to all attending the Business Meeting. Joe S- Taylor, ADSA Treasurer reported that net worth of the Association at the end of 1972 was $122,314, and with a net gain of $11,427 for 1973, net worth is now $133,465. A budget for 1974 has been approved with income projected at $205,700 and disbursments at $183,- 870 for a projected gain of $21,830.

The ADSA office is now performing services for four other professional societies: American Society of Animal Science, Society for the Study of Reproduction, Weed Science Society of America, and International Water Resources Association. ADSA's service to these societies is on a cost basis. As they demand more services or our office costs increase, so will the service charges. The extra work performed for these societies did allow ADSA to develop an office personnel structure that insures continu- ity and proficiency in our national office. The ADSA staff now numbers six.

annual dues, page charges and reprints will re- main the same in 1974 as 1973.

Report of Dairy Foods Division. The Dairy Foods Division unanimously adopted a new set of Bylaws at the annual business meeting to replace the present Constitution and By- laws. An ad-hoc committee, composed of Dee Graham, chairman, E. Collins, J. Martin and R. Sellars, prepared the revised Bylaws which will be implemented for the 1975 Association fiscal year.

Two sections of the Division (Business and Industry, and Manufacturing) planned and organized this technical program for the Sixty- Ninth Annual Meeting:

1) Ninety-seven technical papers and two symposia, ':Milk proteins in dairy and food processing" and "Application of enzyme technology to dairy manufacture," were laeld in the Manufacturing Section.

2) Two invitational seminars were organized by the Business and Industry Section dealing with milk supply and with utilization of milk components m foods and utilization of non- dairy components in milk products.

3) The Sections also co-sponsored three symposia: (a) "Instrumentation of milk ana- lysis" plus a tour of Ontario's Central Milk Testing laboratory, and (b) Two general symposia, "Continuous cheesemaking," and "Cultured dairy foods in nutrition and health."

Eighteen technical papers were presented in the Milk Synthesis Program, held jointly between the Manufacturing Section and the Pro- duction Division. Four of the papers were invitational. Officers elected for 1974-1975 were:

Dairy Foods Division Chairman, R. T. Marshall Vice-chairman, J. Tobias Secretary, G. A. Muck

Industry and Business Section Chairman, J. H. Martin Vice-chairman, G. A. Muck Secretary, S. Barnard

Manufacturing Section Chairman, R. L. Sellars Vice-chairman, G. H. Richardson Secretary, D. B. Emmons

Production Division Report. Of abstracts submitted from North America and abroad, 205 were accepted as papers for the 20 Section sessions beginning June 24 and ending June 26. In addition, seven symposia of 33 invitational papers were scheduled through the three davs.

Each standing committee (Dairy Cattle Improvement, Feeding and Management, JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE VOL. 57, NO. 9

Physiology, Health, Extension and Education) of the Production Division and Milk Synthesis Section planned and organized symposia per- tinent to their interests, screened all submitted abstracts, and arranged the order of presentation in appropriate sections for the Annual Meeting. They assumed increasing responsibil- ity for the program in their areas of interest. The program was organized through the Pro- duetion Division Chairman. Objectives were to strengthen the Production Division program both in quantity and quality and to involve the committees in their areas of expertise. Each committee had enough interest and abstracts for two to seven section sessions.

Standing committees were responsible for their parts of the annual program, and several arrangements were necessary to integrate the program. Before the ADSA Program Commit- tee planning meeting in St. Louis last October, each standing committee sent to the Produc- tion Division Chairman a tentative planned program including the general topic or topics of their symposia. A rough schedule then was made of the Production Division symposia and presented to the ADSA Program Committee. With its clearance and financial support, the standing committees were given directions to proceed.

The Milk Synthesis Committee solicited and received $300 for their program from Elanco Products Company to defray expenses for two outside speakers. J. B. Stone of the University of Guelph also was awarded $2,700 from the National Research Council of Canada to cover expenses of the three visiting speakers.

Each standing committee, through their committee chairmen, had symposia organized and invitational speakers confirmed by March 1. Abstracts submitted for the Production and Milk Synthesis Section sessions were received by the Production Division Chairman, copied and sent out to all the standing committee chairmen. The committees read the abstracts, determined which should be accepted for presentation and in which Section. By March 11, the Production Division Chairman con- tacted standing committee chairmen about their decisions and recommended paper sched- uling. One committee (Dairy Cattle Improve- ment) chose to meet to make final program plans. The Production Division Chairman co- ordinated all the programs, put them into one form and sent them on to the host institution by March 12th. Late and slow North Ameri- can mail deliveries and authors revising their abstracts delayed deadlines and added to frus- tration. On receiving abstracts submitted for

ASSOCIATION AFFAIRS 1 1 1 7

presentation at the Annual Meeting, the Pro- duction Division Chairman immediately acknowledged their arrival by sending a post- card to the author.

The 12 papers submitted by students for the Graduate Student Paper Presentation Contest were arranged to be given with the regular sections rather than in special student sections. They were placed in sections on the first day of t he Annual Meeting according to subject matter and scheduled so official judges could move from section to section hearing each of the contestants.

At the Production Division Business Meet- ing the following items of business were trans- acted:

1) The proposed By-Laws Changes of the Production Division (published in the May issue of the Journal of Dairy Science) to form the Milk Synthesis Committee and to select a Vice-Chairman for the various Committees were accepted by a strong majority vote, 90% of the members in attendance. We propose that the revised By-Laws be published in the Journal of Dairy Science.

2) In another vote for three-year terms of office, Dr. A. E. (Gene) Freeman from Iowa State was elected Secretary and Dr. B. R. (Billy) Baumgardt of Penn State was elected Councilman.

3) Under Committee Reports each Stand- ing Committee presented their work for the year. The Collegiate Dairy Cattle Judging (ad hoc) Committee sought the approval of the membership for the admission o.f Illinois State University at Normal, IL to take part in the National Contest. The motion was approved by the membership.

4) Some discussion came from the floor concerning the large percentage of submitted papers being presented on the first day of the meeting with a declining number on the second and third days. Also raised was displeasure concerning the apparent decline in the number of prepared handouts at these meetings. The Board of Directors and Program Committee should take both matters under advisement.

5) In-coming Chairman Robert Appleman announced the new committee members for 1974-75.

Student Affiliate Division Report. The 1974- 75 Officers of the Student Affiliate Division are: President, Paula McGrew from LSU (Secretary for the past two years); First Vice- President, George Owen from Missouri; Sec- ond Vice-President, Roger Alexander from South Dakota State University; Third Vice- President, Linda Alberg from Georgia; Secre-

tary, Ralph Aller from Ohio State University; Officer at Large, Danny Payne from VPI; and Chairman of the Advisory Council, William Etgen from VPI & SU. Gary Lane from Texas A & M will be the Vice-Chairman; Dr. Tony Achacoso fl'om LSU will be the junior member on the Committee and was newly elected,

We had 60 members and advisors sign in at our first meeting, a 25% increase over last year's meeting. We had ten undergraduate papers, 45% more than last year. We had a 20% increase in graduate papers with sixteen papers given in manufacturing and production. Fifteen chapters were present of sixteen or seventeen which are active at this time, a 40% increase over the chapters represented at the meeting last year.

We want to extend a special thanks to ADSA for their support the past year. We enjoyed being a Division of ADSA.
