CHANGES MADE IN THE IAS BOARD STRUCTURE 
At the recent May Annual Meeting in Niles, all officers were re-elected 
with the exception of Walter Vogl, of Lake Zurich, who declined in favor of 
Preston Davies, wiio assumes the post of Vice-President for Education, 
All directors serve on at least one committee, and several directors 
serve on two or three ccamittees, Every committee has now been placed under 
the direct charge of a Vice~President,of which we have four: Conservation, 
Education, Extension and Finanes, The change was made to provide for 
greater responsibility on the part of the vice-presidents, and to ease the 
load of the office of president, 
It is hoped that the change will bring about greater creativity, new ideas 
and new projects, Members of the Society who wish to participate more closely 
in the work of the organization are invited to contact a vice-president or a 
committee chairman, They can be reached at their homes or thru a note in 
care of the Dlinois Audubon Society at the Field Museum, 

SHOW YOUR MEMBERSHIP FOR _A RESERVED SEAT 
Attendance at the IAS Wildlife Films at the Field Museum of 
Natural History has grown so steadily over the past few years, 
that the Board of Directors have decided to reserve middle aisle 
seats for IAS members until 2:25 PM on the date of showing. The 
doors usually open at 2 PM, Some members actually prefer 
"side aisle" seats, Your membership card will help insure you 
of a seat. Please present it to an usher, Since some films are 
better attended than others, we cannot guarantee a seat or a 
choice location, This is the exact policy followed by the Museum 
itself on Saturday afternoon lectures,
