16 Nonprofit & Voluntary Sector Q. 6 (1987)

handle is hein.journals/npvolsq16 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITOR'S COMMENTS This is truly a special Special Issue of JVAR. Not only is it a double issue, providing more than twice our normal pagination, but it also addresses a number of questions that have moved to centrality in the field of voluntary action research. The dance between government and voluntary sector organizations is always intricate and complex, and the steps change quickly. The papers in this issue illuminate a difficult set of problems, and the synthesizing work of the coeditors highlights clearly what emerges from the papers. I am most grateful to Professors Ostrander and Langton for their diligence and effort in putting this issue together. They have brought to their task a vision and a set of editing skills that clearly show when the issue is seen as a whole. The issue is also special because it has been selected for amplification, attention, and a special process of distribution by Aid Association for Lutherans. Known to many JVAR readers as a distinguished benevolence organization of long standing, and an organization committed to the development of organizations serving the third sector, AAL was a major sponsor of the 1980 National Forum on Volunteer- ing[ By providing a special grant to the Association of Voluntary Action Scholars, AAL makes it possible for this issue to be sent to 500 individuals in leadership positions affecting voluntary action in America. These individuals have been se- lected by a small national committee of friends of JVAR: Virginia Hodgkinson of Independent Sector, Elizabeth Boris of the Council on Foundations, and Kenn Allen of Volunteer. To them, and the leadership of Aid Association for Lutherans, go my deepest thanks for their confidence and support. Work continues on the two special issues still under development for JVAR: one on Homelessness and the Voluntary Response, the other on Coproduction as a form of voluntary action. Recent months have seen a considerable increase in the rate of submissions to JVAR, and 1988 will surely see a large number of submitted papers published as they move through the process from initial submission to eventual presentation in JVAR. Two JVAR authors of great distinction and prominence have been lost to death during the past several months. On October 3, Terry McAdam, Director of the Conrad Hilton Foundation, died suddenly at the age of 44. Terry was a leading philanthropic supporter of voluntarism, and an enlightened participant in the de- velopment of the new field of nonprofit management education. In the same cruel October, former AVAS President Ronald Lippitt died at age 72 of heart failure. Ron is remembered in the note just following. For the Editor, this year brings the second semester of a sabbatical leave, to be spent at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Manuscripts and queries should continue to be sent to the Rutgers address, where Associate Editor Justin Fink will hold forth. Jon Van Til
