FIRST VICE PRESIDENT C.W. White C.W. "Woody" White is well known to many MRS members for his tireless efforts on behalf of the Society and its activities. He and P.S. Peercy co-organized the 1980 symposium on Laser and Electron Beam Processing of Materials, and in 1981 he, HJ. Leamy and P. Montano acted as annual meeting co-chairmen. White subsequently chaired the Publications Committee, a duty he continues to perform. His committee's activity is reflected in the agreement with North Holland Publishing Company for publication of Materials Letters, the new journal announced in this issue of the Bulletin. SECOND VICE PRESIDENT E.N. Kaufmann Elton Kaufmann likewise has a solid record of MRS service. He coorganized the 1981 symposium on Resonance Techniques in Materials Science and, with L.L. Chang and L.N. Boatner, is co-organizer of this year's annual meeting. In addition, Kaufmann organized and chaired the Corporate Affiliates Committee, in
which role he defined and implemented successful efforts to obtain recognition and support from corporations involved in materials research. SECRETARY R.L. Schwoebel Dick Schwoebel is a long-time member of the Society, and has been a councillor since 1981. As a councillor, he headed the committee that drafted the by-laws. He also first suggested MRS sponsorship of short courses in connection with the annual meeting, a suggestion that will become reality this November (as reported in the last issue of the Bulletin). TREASURER AND COUNCILLOR K.C. Taylor Kathy Taylor's involvement with the leadership of the MRS dates to 1978, when she was elected a councillor. In 1979, she co-chaired the symposium on Catalyst Preparation Techniques and Maintenance of Catalyst Activity. In this capacity she initiated an important and successful symposium series. She was also co-organizer of the 1979 annual meeting. In 1980, she became the Society's treasurer, and has aided the rapid growth of the MRS while providing steady and prudent counsel in financial matters. Aside from her duties as treasurer, Kathy instigated the Society's student award program, which recognizes excellence in students of materials science. She has maintained her interest in this encouragement of young scientists, and serves as chairwoman of the Student Awards Subcommittee. COUNCILLORS Rustum Roy Rustum Roy's involvement with the MRS cannot adequately be described in this short paragraph. He is a founder, a past president, a former councillor, and a chairman of
the long-range planning, awards and program committees. Rusty is perhaps best known within the Society for his vigorous advocacy of an ever-greater role for the MRS in the materials research profession. L.L. Chang Leroy Chang's efforts on behalf of the MRS are currently most felt because he, together with Elton Kaufmann and Lynn Boatner, serves as co-chairman of this year's annual meeting. Previously, he served as co-organizer of the very successful 1981 symposium on interfaces. R. Ewing Rod Ewing, familiar to many within the Society, is most active in the nuclear waste
