AlfCSACTIVITIES LETTEREdited by Bill RussellTyping and Editorial Assistance byPat AsnesSpring 1976 Letter No.4, May 1976This forth issue of the Activities Letter is less timely, but wefeel that it is more informative than previous issues. Peter Sprause'scolumn in the NSS News has kept k~CS members informed of current activityin Mexico and thus relieved the Activities Letter of some of the necessityof publishing after each major trip. This issue of the Activieies Letteris an atempt to meet the need for a place to publish maps and long~rarticles on Mexican caves. The NSS Ne'~s cannot publish accounts of everytrip to ~~xico, and regional and grotto publications will not reach thewidely dispersed membership of the AllCS. It is advantageous for the ~CSto use the NSS News for current information as this exposes many seriouscavers to the potential of Mexico. The AMCS does not have the concentratedmanpower to maintain a monthly publication. The Activities Letter wasbegan to brin~ timely information to AMCS members and maintain the idenityof the Association for Mexican Cave Studies as it was felt that the AMCSwould not continue to function without an active publication. The needfor information has shifted from timely reporting to longer articles andmaps; but we will still publish issues on recent developments when necessary.S$$$$$$$$$S$$$$$S$$$$$S$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$*** RESUnSCRIBE ***It's dollar time again -- with this issue the Al!CS Activities Letter completesits first year. ~~en the Activities Letter was first started, it was felt itwould be only a few pages, mostly news of current events, but it has becomelonger and more expensive. However, we will hold the subscription to onedollar although at this rate we cannot guar3ntee a full year. ~~en the moneyruns out we will ask ever-'one to resubscribe. This will keep me~bership listscurrent and if people have to send in money they can also send in articlesand information with their money. So send your dollar -- it will be wellspent -- and when it is gone we will ask for more. Due to 1.igh postal rateswe cannot continue to send Activities Letters unless you resubscribe. If youhave resubscribed prior to this notice. please let us know. as record keepingis sometimes informal.Bill RussellCopyright 1976 by glCS Hembership Committee
