ELECTIONS 
Nominations for the 2000-2001 slate of officers 
closed on 24 March. Unfortunately, no new 
candidates presented themselves. Fortunately 
all the present officers were willing to allow 
their renomination as incumbents. At this point 
the election becomes pro forma, but we must 
continue to pursue the process just as if its 
outcome were not preordained. In consequence 
the brief candidate bios are appended, along 
with a ballot for the current elections. There 
were no special issues to be voted on this year, 
so the only item before the membership in this 
election is filling the officer positions. Please 
vote despite this. Your participation is more
