The Executive Officer’s Column In This Issue . . . Global Sociology and the ASA Centenary The centenary of the American Sociological Association is an opportunity for sociologists to reflect on the development of our discipline in the United States over more than a hundred years. We are pleased that in 2005 there will be an ASA sponsored book edited by Craig Calhoun that will provide some views on this and as will a book sponsored by the ASA Section on the History of Sociology.

President Troy Duster has ensured a strong international dimension to the Association’s 100th Annual Meeting both through his theme—Comparative Perspectives, Faculty Salaries Competing Explanations: Accounting for the Rising and Declining Significance of Sociology— Latest data on sociology salaries and and through his efforts to facilitate the program participation of international scholars. trends. With continuing support from the Ford Foundation, for example, President Duster has 4 invited Indonesian sociologist Imam B. Prasodjo to join other sociologists to open this historic meeting by considering the social implications of the 2005 tsunami.

These are only two examples; the program provides many others. 7 The growth of the international dimension of ASA’s annual meetings rests heavily on the work of U.S. sociology departments. The Mellon Programs in Latin American Sociology (Berkeley, UCLA, and University of Texas-Austin) that greatly enriched the 2004 meeting are but one example. The 2005 program will have an important session on comparative issues in deviance organized by sociologists at Cleveland State University who have a Fulbright partnership grant to work with sociologists at Bayero University in Nigeria. We are honored that Bayero University sociologist Musa Our Regular Features Abdullahi, Secretary General of the Committee of Vice Chancellors of the Nigerian Departments...... 9 Federal Universities, will be one of those participating. Obituaries ...... 14 Looking Forward Many sociologists who will be in Philadelphia are already preparing for the XVI Congress of the ISA to be held in July 2006 in Durban, South Africa. To help prepare for the Congress, the ASA Council voted last year to provide support to the ISA Council of National Associations (CNA) to hold its first meeting in over ten years in the United States just before the ASA’s 2005 Annual Meeting, and to bring CNA delegates to Philadelphia.

In February the ASA Council voted to establish two new task forces: the Master’s Degree in Sociology and Sociology and General Education. A call for volunteers was pub- lished in Footnotes, which produced a record response. Based on those submissions, Council has now appointed members to both new components.
