The Board of Governors of The Crustacean Society (TCS) met at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on 28 December 1985. Officers in attendance were President Frederick R. Schram, President-Elect Darryl L. Felder, Treasurer Denton Belk, Secretary Paul A. Haefner, Past- Presidents Lawrence G. Abele and Raymond B. Manning, Editor Arthur G. Humes, and Program Chairperson Adrian M. Wenner. The Program Chairperson reported that plans for the symposium "Crustacean Egg Pro- duction" for New Orleans in 1987 are going well. There is sufficient interest to support two symposium sessions ( 10 papers) as well as contributed paper sessions. More information on funding and final approval of the symposium by the American Society of Zoologists (ASZ) will be sent to TCS officers in the near future. A proposal by Raymond T. Bauer that the TCS sponsor a symposium "Sex Attraction, Mating, and Sperm Transfer" in San Francisco in 1988 was given tentative approval. The Editor announced that the rejection rate of papers submitted to the JCB over the first five years was approximately 29%. The five volumes contain 3,653 pages and comprise 316 articles. Authors were from 31 countries, 68% of whom were from the United States. The Treasurer reported that at the end of 1985 TCS had 656 regular members, 144 student members, 25 sustaining members, and 7 associate members. He noted that one- third of the students are converting to regular membership, and that the membership renewal is running ahead of previous years. The 1986 budget, based on a projected mem- bership of 700 (650 regular, 37 sustaining, and 13 associate), was approved. The board approved six resolutions proposed by the Treasurer: JCB shall limit publication of non- subsidized pages to not more than 50% of each number; the Editor may increase the size of a number using fully subsidized papers, providing that number meets the 50% policy; a Special Needs Membership Fund will be established to pay for all or part of the regular membership dues to those needing assistance; Memorial Donations will be accepted by the Treasurer and allocated to any of the Society's endowment funds; a proposed budget for the Society's new (calendar) year shall be presented to the Board of Governors at their annual meeting in December. The Board also approved the use of The Republic Bank in San Antonio, Texas, as the repository for future accounts of TCS, and the cash disburse- ments and receipts statements for 1985. Past-President Manning announced that the So- ciety's account in England has been closed, based upon the recommendation of Tony Rice. Regional Governors in TCS will be encouraged to become active in recruitment and communication within their respective regions according to their duties outlined in the Constitution and By-Laws. The Board approved the recommendation by the committee on the Outstanding Paper Award chaired by Richard C. Brusca that the award for 1984 be presented to Brian Michael Marcotte for his paper that appeared in the JCB 4: 404-416. It was also decided that the award may be presented in successive years to the same author, since meritorious writing should not preclude future recognition if it is deserving. The Society's award for excellence will for now be known as "The Crustacean Society Award for Excellence in Research." A committee will be appointed to draft a set of guidelines to be used in selecting distinguished carcinologists for this award. In 1985 the award is being presented to Fenner A. Chace, Jr., at a luncheon in his honor on 30 December. Respectfully submitted,
