CAVE MAP SYMBOLS(continued)15The AMCS will try to keep all members informed on the importantdiscussions now in progress that will lead to adoption by the NSS of anofficial list of cave map symbols. This list will hopefully standardizecave maps across North America. Your comments are solicited as mistakesmade now will be difficult to correct later. The following letter fromNSS President Eugene Vehslage to Will White summarizes recent activity bythe NSS:Dear Will:During the June Board of Governors meetings at the Calaveras CountyFairgrounds (alias Frogtown), a motion was considered to designate a setof map symbols submitted by the NSS Delegate to the UIS Commission desSignee Conventionelles (Jim Hedges) as the "NSS Standard Map Symbols1975". Strong objections were raised to this by several Directors, mostlyfrom Texas. It is my understanding that Bill Russell has a much shorterset of symbols that were published in an AMCSpublication (which I receivedby second or third class mail). The Board voted to refer this matter to anAd Hoc Committee. I have appointed you as Chairman of this Committee withthe following members:James Hedges, 8218 Sherrill St., Landover, MD 20785William H. Russell, UT Station Box 7672, Austin, TX 78712Tom Cra~ens •. Meramec Community College, 11333 Big Bend Blvd., Kirkwood,MO 63124Ronald G. Fieseler, PO Box 5672, Austin, TX 78763.By carbon copy I am asking Messrs. Hedges and Russell to send copies oftheir respective lists of symbols to each of the committee members who mightnot have them, along with explanations as to what is better about their list,and, more important, what sort of compromise, if any, they see in making anofficial list of standard map symbols. I feel that it is the Board's wish(and certainly mine) that some sort of consensus can be arrived at before toolong.You are not constrained to limit your considerations to the two maps~ol lists mentioned above, nor are you limited to consulting the namedmembers of your committee. Please calIon anyone and everyone that mightmake your final recommendations of the greatest value to speleology, in thebroadest sense.There will be a Board of Governors meeting on 11 October in Albuquer-queand I plan to list a report from your committee on the Agenda. In the meantime,please keep me informed of how you are making out.Good caving,Eugene VehslagePresident
