Fall, 1984 
Editor's Notes : . , c 
Well! Fall is coming up fast. Can winter be far 
behind? Before too long, we temperate entomologists may begin to 
have a bit more time to try and figure out what we ve 
accomplished for the 1984 season. If you’ve experienced a summer 
anything like we have here in the Madison ’’butterfly lab, then 
you know you've accomplished a lot, even if you have felt too 
busy to figure out what all of it was yet. 
Our Society looks forward to our fall and winter 
meetings as a chance to renew old acquaintances, encourage new 
members, and stimulate each other with thoughts and ideas for the 
coming spring and summer season. Your Executive Council has met 
xo begin planning for upcoming events and meetings and I think it 
can be a good winter ahead, especially if you show your interest, 
support, and participation. One way you can participate is to 
think of things, and write down ideas, notes, experiences, or 
questions and send them to me for possible inclusion in your next 
Newsletter. This is your Newsletter, so please help to keep it 
stimulating and valuable to our membership as a sharing and 
communication tool. Also, please pay special attention to the 
following section "From your President" and please come to our 
meeting Tuesday.

From Your President : 
“ D u r i tig my 
several WES members 
great importance to 
tenure as President, I have spoken with 
on a series of subjects which I feel are of 
all of us: member participation in the 
Society, program content, and "direction" of the WES. These 
subjects are obviously of importance to the vitality of any 
organization and should certainly be mulled around by all of us 
i f we are to preserve the original intent of the WES as stated in 
Article IT of our Constitution: 
"Section 1: It shall be the purpose of this 
Society to promote the study of entomology in all its branches, 
especially as it applies to Wisconsin and the surrounding states; 
to facilitate and encourage the exchange of specimens and ideas
