~2.- I,A.S. Newsletter, August, 196) 

sletter and a Director of 
Your newly appointed editor of this Newslett 
T.A.5. is Douglas &, Wade, He is employed as Assistant Professor of 
Outdoor Teacher Education at Northern Illinois University on the Lorado 
Taft Field Campus near Oregon, Ill. With help from Charles Lappen, 
former editor and now Vice-President in charge of finances, we hope for 
a smooth transition and upholding of the excellence of past issues, 
Committees and Affiliated Societies should see to it that Mr. Wade is 
on their mailing list for progress reports and regular publications, 
There are some 40 Affiliated groups in 1.A.S. and each can share 
some of their highlights of the year through the Newsletter or the 
Bulletin, Your new editor, like others who are helping in the affairs 
of the Society, uses his spare time; he will not be expected to respond 
to or acknowledge all of the communications submitted, There is also 
a space limitation so he will probably not be able to use everything 
coming across his desk or he may have to re-write and condense items, 
He will welcome arguments, criticisms, suggestions, and humor. 



-- Ray Mostek, President. 
This Newsletter should evolve to meet the needs of 1.4.5, --its members , 
officers, directors, committees and affiliates. Curiosity and courage 
and an ever-increasing awareness and understanding of what goes in man- 
kind's handling of his environment are, so it seems to your editor, among 
the basic ingredients of I.A.S. We hope som of your conrmunications will 
reflect these. If the Newsletter does nothing mre than to dispose you 
to seek mre natural history trips of discovery into the out-of-doors 
4 and thus to unwind a bit from your usual labors, it will have met one of 
1 your needs, ~-D.E.W., editor.
