PACIFIC SLOPE PROCEEDINGS 
475 
Auditing: H. E. Woodworth, Chairman, D. D. Penny. 
Resolutions: E. M. Packard, Chairman, Henry H. P. Severin. 
Membership: H. E. Burke, three years; C. W. Creel, two years; 
E. C. Van Dyke, one year. 
It was then proposed that the office of Vice-chairman be included 
among the new nominations. Upon motion, this was duly carried. 
The question of membership then followed concerning associate and 
active standings, there being considerable opposition to the associate 
standing because so many were never moved up into active membership 
as they should be. 
The matter of publishing papers was then presented and discussions 
brought out the many difficulties that members experience in trying to 
get their papers published in the official journal of the society. The 
discussion resulted in a motion by H. S. Smith “that it be the sense of 
the meeting that the Journal of Economic Entomology be changed to 
a monthly and the subscription price made according. ’ ’ The motion was 
seconded by H. E. Burke and carried unanimously. The matter was 
then referred to the resolutions committee. 
The meeting was adjourned for 15 minutes to allow the committees 
to formulate their reports and called to order at 4 P. M. by the chair. 
The reports of the committees were as follows: 
Nominations 
For Chairman, H. S. Smith, Riverside, Cal. 
For Vice-Chairman, C. M. Packard, Sacramento, Cal. 
For Secretary-Treasurer, R. E. Campbell, Alhambra, Cal. 
Upon motion duly seconded the secretary was instructed to cast the 
ballot for the election of the nominees. Carried. 
The auditing committee reported the accounts in accordance with the 
statement of the treasurer. 
The resolutions committee offered two resolutions as follows: 
Resolved: That it is the sense of this meeting that the increase in volume of 
publication warrants an increase in the capacity of the Journal of Economic Ento¬ 
mology by changing it to a monthly, and that any increased expense involved be 
met by increasing the subscription price. 
Resolved: That a vote of thanks be extended to the University of Southern 
California for their hospitality in providing the Pacific Slope Branch of the American 
Association of Economic Entomologists with a meeting place and that the secretary 
forward a copy of this resolution to the University. 
Both resolutions were adopted upon motions duly made, seconded and 
carried.
