A directory of members also appeared. Early in 1975, the Journal announced an experimental procedure for review of submiesions; the author could submit a 600-word summary f o r distribution t o a l l members of the E d i t o r i a l Board, €If the last 30 submissions, 15 have used this proce- dure.
