 1962 Fall Meeting 



The forty-eighth annual business meeting of the Kentucky 

 Academy of Science was held on the campus of Eastern Kentucky 

 State College on November 10, 1982 with C. Whittle presiding. 



The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. 



The treasurer's report, previously audited by R. Wiseman, R. 

 Royer, and R. Rarbour, was presented by R. Chapman. The report 

 was approved by the Academy. 



T. Hutto reported on the Junior Academy activities of the previous 

 year. A science fair was held on May 11 and 12, 1962 in Lexington 

 with thirty clubs represented by about 200 students. He indicated 

 the need for financial support of the Junior Academy and pointed out 

 that he has applied for a National Science Foundation grant for travel 

 expenses for students and sponsors attending Junior Academy meet- 

 ings as well as secretarial and miscellaneous expenses on his part. At 

 the present time the Phillip Morris Company is the only substantial 

 financial supporter of the Junior Academy activities. It was moved 

 and seconded that the report be accepted. The motion carried. 



T. Hutto requested changes in the Junior Academy constitution. 

 The main changes included statements regarding duties of the officers 

 of the Junior Academy and duties of the three Counselors appointed 

 by the Senior Academy. The duties of the latter were designated as 

 director, membership chairman, and editor of the Junior Science 

 Rulletin. After some discussion regarding the lack of time to study 

 the proposed changes the motion to accept the changes was seconded 

 and carried. 



H. LaFuze reported on an item previously discussed by the execu- 

 tive committee. He has been active in the Westinghouse Science 

 Talent search. State level awards are given by many State Academies 

 and H. LaFuze recommended that the Kentucky Academy finance 

 the prizes (subscriptions to Science or Scientific American) and other 

 possible expenses up to a total of $35 for Kentucky winners. The state 

 level winners are judged on test scores and on their projects. It was 

 moved and seconded that the Academy finance awards and expenses 

 up to $35. The motion carried. C. Whittle pointed out that the 

 executive committee had discussed having the Junior Academy Coun- 

 selors handle the Kentucky Talent search but decided that it prob- 

 ably would be better ho have the director of the latter independent 

 of the Junior Academy.
