Editor's Comments

This issue of The Geographical Bulletin represents some new ventures for Gamma Theta Upsilon. First, is the discussion of chapter activities from the meetings in Kansas City as organized by Dr. Alice Rechlin. It is a fine article which hopefully can be the springboard for "viable chapters." The venture lies in good chapter communications. The second is an article by Dr. Fred Hirsch who has been appointed by the GTU Executive Committee to establish an "alumni chapter" which can bring past members of GTU back into activity with the Society. We should all give wholehearted support to this venture. The third venture is a decision to include exemplary teaching materials which can be used directly in the classroom. This represents our attempt to continue to meet our readers' needs. Finally an editorial decision, with Executive Committee approval, has been made to begin selling advertising space in The Geographical Bulletin. The decision was based on rising publication costs which are difficult to meet as we attempt to maintain the highest publication quality. All of us are proud of The Geographical Bulletin-its content, contributors, and physical appearance. We intend to have ads of the highest quality and in the best taste.
