Dr. Barney succeeds Maurice L. Burgener, who is retiring. Mr. Burgener first joined the Association in 1949 as Junior Agricultural Engineer.

Mr. Burgener was named Vice President for U.S. Regional Promotion in 1971, Vice President for Market Planning and Development in 1977, and Group Vice President for Market Development in 1979.
Dr. Anthony E. Fiorato has been named Vice President for Research and Development. In this newly created position, Dr. Fiorato will oversee PCA's research programs in both market-related and cement-manufacturing areas.
PCA also announced two promotions for department heads. Richard K. Schmickle, Director of National Accounts and Field Services, will assume added responsibility for PCA programs in low-rise commercial and residential building. Dr. S. K. Ghosh, Director of Engineered Structures and Codes, will be responsible for the promotion of mid- and high-rise buildings, bridges, PCA design software, and related codes and standards work.

It's Fun Barometer is Always Hot
With 320 days of sunshine a year, the "Resort Bargain of the World" provides visitors with plenty of opportunity to delight in outdoor activities and attend exciting outdoor sporting events, or visit one of the many breathtaking attractions located within a short driving trip from the city. The beautiful climate also creates a casual atmosphere in which people truly can relax and enjoy Las Vegas number one commodity-fun. And it's available 24 hours a day.
Selecting suitable attire for a visit to Las Vegas is simple. Pack lightweight sports clothes and, for the most part, you'll be appropriately outfitted for any activity to which you might be attracted. Dress is casual. Even the warm summer air, which sometimes tops 100 degrees, is comfortably contrasted by low humidity. This dictates a mode of dress that calls for comfort.
Temperatures in the spring and fall remain in the 70s and 80s so a light jacket is handy to have. Evenings in Las Vegas can be cool enough to warrant a coat or sweater.
During winter months, normal daytime temperatures reach the high 50s and 60s. But again, evenings are cool, with temperatures occasionally near freezing, so visitors should bring a jacket or sweater.
