The question <strong>of</strong> funding symposia was discussed. Don Barr made a motion<br />
stating that it is not the policy <strong>of</strong> the MSA to provide financing to groups<br />
organizing meetings or symposia. However, special requests can be considered<br />
by the Council. This was seconded and passed.<br />
A proposal that the MSA establish some sort <strong>of</strong> job placement committee was<br />
received from Steven Carpenter. After much discussion on how such an activity<br />
should be approached, A1 an Jawors k i moved to accept Gareth Morgan- Jones ' <strong>of</strong>fer<br />
to initiate this activity, initially funded with $1000. This was seconded<br />
and passed.<br />
The secretary and treasurer requested clarification <strong>of</strong> the amount <strong>of</strong> travel<br />
subsidy each should receive to pay their expenses to the MSA meetings since<br />
there are now two <strong>of</strong>fices to be represented instead <strong>of</strong> one. The Council<br />
approved paying the way <strong>of</strong> both <strong>of</strong>ficers in the future. This year each<br />
was reimbursed up to $400 for transportation costs.<br />
Clark Rogerson requested $1500 to match funds that the Garden is applying<br />
for to maintain the MSA archives in a more protected manner. Harry Thiers<br />
moved that the $1500 be provided for this purpose. The motion was seconded<br />
and passed.<br />
A discussion <strong>of</strong> the possibility <strong>of</strong> advertising the Mycologia Memoirs in<br />
Mycologia resulted in Clark Rogerson's <strong>of</strong>fering to check this out.<br />
According to both the Garden and Amy Rossman, a dues increase is needed<br />
to cover the deficit at the Garden and thus enable the <strong>Society</strong> to cover other<br />
expenses as they increase. The following dues schedule was settled on. It<br />
will take effect January 1, 1986.'<br />
Regular Member. ......... $35<br />
Student Member. ......... $15<br />
Emeritus Member ...... .no dues<br />
$15 to receive Mycologia<br />
Affiliate <strong>Society</strong> ....... .$35<br />
Associate Member. ........ $15<br />
Other charges will remain the same as presently charged.<br />
The motion supporting this change in dues was made by Henry Aldrich. It was<br />
seconded and passed. This change must be placed before the membership for a<br />
vote.<br />
The council discussed the memo from the treasurer outlining problems encount-<br />
ered during the past year with dues, memberships, and address changes. She<br />
requested that all membership records be kept in her <strong>of</strong>fice, maintained on a<br />
computer to be requested from the Council. The secretary will then be<br />
responsible for correspondence, interacting with the pub1 ic, and initiating<br />
new ideas and forwarding the activities <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Society</strong>. The Council approved<br />
this concept and also approved <strong>of</strong> the motion made by Sandra Anagnostakis to<br />
provide up to $4000 for the purchase <strong>of</strong> the needed computer.<br />
The meeting was adjourned at 5:35 PM by President Hanlin.
