Recommendations and Proposal s for Counci 1 Consideration : l
2. As a potential inducemerlt and membership benefi t, it is recommended that
Sustaining Members be a1 lowed and offered a 15% discount on MSA Newsletter
advert1 si ng.
3. Because of increased participation by members ( 1 arger numbers of Abstracts,
more announcements, increased foreign member participation, etc. ) and
increased numbers of advertisers, pagination--and thus printing costs--have
risen. The Newsletter is printed in four-page increments (double sided
printing on 11 x 17 paper), and costs per page and per issue (in parentheses)
for the last three were $28.28 (996), $31.03 ($1.121, and $27.89 ($1.23)
respectively. Although no drastic changes are anticipated, the editor would
appreciate some consensus of opinion from Council on whether to continue
pagination increases if and when necessary or to set pagination limits.
4. At the 1982 annual meeting, Council agreed to support MSA Newsletter
production wi th up to $1,000.00 for Student Worker (Secretari a1 1 support.
Thanks to the indirect help of the Southern Illinois University Office of
Research Development and Administration (noted above), it has thus not been
necessary to utilize most of these funds. Nevertheless, because of the
substantial changes that have taken place in Council membership since that
date and as a point of information, the editor would appreciate Counci 1's
reaffirmation of this potenti a1 expenditure.
