Preliminary Program Teleconferences planned for six sessions from Anaheim Teleconferencing can make this meeting as close as your own conference room. Plans are under way to teleconference (audiographs, not video) six sessions from the meeting in Anaheim to subscribers across the country. The Symposium on High Solids, Powder and Radiation Curable Coatings will be teleconferenced Monday through Thursday. This program is sponsored by the Division of Polymeric Materials: Science & Engineering. Teleconferences from the ACS national meetings expand the audiences for selected symposia. For those companies and institutions interested in these topics and located hundreds of miles from Anaheim, teleconferencing gives scientists who would not normally attend an opportunity to participate in a very meaningful way. Speakers' slides will be provided for simultaneous projection in each location and each remote site will be linked by telephone with the meeting room in Anaheim. All listeners may ask questions and comment during the discussion periods. If your company is interested in subscribing to one or all six sessions ($600 per session), please contact the Department of Meetings & Divisional Activities at (202) 872-4401 for more information.

Tips for a safe stay in a large city • When walking, stick to main thoroughfares and well-lit areas. • If walking, don't wear fancy jewelry in plain sight. • Don't wear your meeting badge outside the hotels and convention center. • Be cognizant and alert to surroundings. Look alert. • When walking after dark, don't hug the buildings or cars; walk in the open or near the curb. • Carry your purse close to your body. • Don't leave valuables in your room. Get a hotel safe deposit box. • Go in numbers. Don't be a loner, particularly in the evening. • Abide by common sense: If something looks suspicious, report it and/or avoid it.
Share-a-Room in Denver Program. A bulletin board will be located in the Hospitality Center for those interested in making arrangements to share a room with another member at the spring meeting in Denver. Shuttle Service. All of the hotels used for technical sessions are located within one large city block of the Convention Center; thus shuttle service will not be necessary. The Grand Hotel will provide van service to the Convention Center for its guests attending sessions Monday through Friday. Speakers Information. Each meeting room will be equipped as follows: 2 inch X 2 inch (35 mm) slide projector, overhead projector, screen, and lighted reading desk with remote slide control and lapel microphone. Requests in writing for other special equipment must be received by the ACS meetings department by July 21. Rental Car Discounts. Special rates will be available for one week before, during, and one week after the meeting. Details will appear in the final program and will be included with the material sent to those who preregister. Air Transportation. Arrangements have been made with Delta Airlines, Republic Airlines, and United Airlines for attendees to obtain discounted air fares to and from the several airports serving the Anaheim area. These discounts are particularly advantageous for those not planning to be in Anaheim over a Saturday night and therefore do not qualify for published discounted fares. Tickets, which must be issued at least seven days before departure, may be obtained by
providing credit card information when making reservations or subsequently through the ticket offices of the respective airlines, or through travel agents. Since the number of seats available on any given flight is limited, it is very important that reservations be made as early as possible. United Airlines: a 5% savings off any fares for which attendees qualify (based on normal restrictions), including First Class and Ultra Saver, or a 30% discount off normal coach fares with no restrictions (including round trips from Honolulu and Canada). These discounts will apply from Sept. 3 through Sept. 17. Call United's toll-free number 1-800-5214041 and identify the ACS meeting by the number 6045D. All reservations must be made through the 800 number, which is open from 8:30 AM to 8 PM, Eastern time, seven days a week. Delta Airlines: a 5% savings off any Delta published round-trip fare within the continental U.S. and San Juan, including all promotional and deeply discounted supersaver fares, providing all rules and conditions of the airfares are met. For passengers not qualifying for any published discounts, a 30% discount on Delta's domestic system for travel to the Anaheim area (including round trips from Honolulu and Montreal). The 30% discount will be based on the full nondiscounted round-trip day-coach rates. Seven days advance ticketing is required and a maximum stay of 21 days is permitted. Call Delta's toll-free number 1-800-241-6760, and identify the ACS meeting by the number D0269. All reservations must be made through the 800 number, which is open from 8 AM to 8 PM, Eastern time, seven days a week. Republic Airlines: a 5% savings off the lowest applicable round trip available at the time of booking, booked in the appropriate class of service, or a 30% discount from the full adult coach class fare, booked in M-class, from point of origin to Los Angeles and return. The discounted fares will be permitted three days prior to the meeting, through three days following its conclusion (Sept. 415), except for Republic Express flights; travel from or to Canada, Mexico, or Grand Cayman; and fares under $100 round trip. Call Republic's toll-free number 1-800-328-1111 (in Minnesota, 1-800-272-1408), and identify the ACS meeting by the number ACE222.

Employment aids A National Employment Clearing House (NECH) will be available to ACS members and student affiliates at the Anaheim meeting. It will be located in Marriott Hall of the Anaheim Marriott Hotel and will be in operation Monday through Thursday, Sept. 8-11, from 7:30 AM to 5 PM. Candidates' deadline to register will be 5 PM Tuesday, Sept. 9. Thus, candidates are urged to submit completed NECH forms to the national office in advance of the meeting, no later than Aug. 15. To assist in early registration, NECH will be open Sunday, Sept. 7, from 2 PM to 7 PM. Records of candidates who register on Sunday and records received in advance from candidates who complete registration requirements on Sunday will be on file for employers to review when NECH opens officially Monday, Sept. 8, at 7:30 AM. Records received in advance will not be placed on file to be reviewed until the candidate reports in Anaheim and completes all registration requirements. When requesting forms for NECH, please specify the Anaheim forms, as these differ from the year-round clearinghouse forms. The national meeting registration fee may be waived for an unemployed member to use the NECH facilities. Requests for waivers should be sent to the ACS Employment Aids Office. For an advance waiver, forward the preregistration form from this issue with your request to the ACS Employment Aids Office. At the meeting, come to the NECH Staff Office in Marriott Hall. Employer representatives also are encouraged to submit forms to the national office in advance. You may register or check in beginning Sunday, Sept. 7,
from 2 to 7 PM. Early registration will allow you to post openings and to have your registration on file so that you can begin reviewing candidates 7 records and scheduling interviews promptly Monday morning, Sept. 8. Representatives who wish to post a notice may obtain standard forms in advance. A separate form should be submitted for each posting and must be in triplicate. To assure early posting, forms should be returned to the national office no later than Aug. 15. They also may be delivered to NECH during the meeting. These openings will be posted just as soon as possible, but because of the volume received on-site there will be certain delays. Completed forms must comply with all federal regulations on job discrimination in employment or they will not be accepted. Recent users will receive a mailing containing NECH forms. If you have not made use of the service recently, request forms from the national office. The "positions available" area will be opened just as early as possible Monday, Sept. 8, so that candidates may review the openings posted. Any member registered for the meeting may review the openings; however, if you are not registered with NECH, it is your responsibility to make note of the employer's name and address and contact directly by mail. Employers are encouraged to submit a descriptive brochure or an annual report on their company. This will be retained in a file for interested candidates to review. There are two types of user fees in addition to the meeting registration fee: a $10 minimum fee to any representative registered; and, for full utilization of the service, $50 industrial, $20 academia, $125 agencies/management consulting firms. The full utilization fee includes unlimited posting of openings, reviewing records of candidates, and use of the interview area. For employers who wish to post but are unable to attend the meeting, the fee is $25 per listing (maximum charge $100). If you do not plan to attend the meeting, be certain this is noted on your returned form(s) so that interested candidates may write you directly. If you would like to be assured a definite table assignment for interviewing, this can be arranged. The fee is $50 per representative. If you are interested, advise the Employment Aids Office in advance or make arrangements on-site. Because of the rising expenses incurred in operating the clearinghouse at national meetings, we anticipate an increase in the user fee and the cost for the packet of candidates' "summary forms" beginning in 1987. This is an advance notice so it will not come as a surprise when you receive a notice for the spring 1987 NECH.
Personal résumés of candidates, if submitted, will be on file for review. Copies will not be available for sale. Single copies of the candidates' summary form (the ACS standard form) will be provided during the meeting at 50 cents each. Orders for complete sets of the summary forms ($50 per set) will be taken during the meeting from registered employer representatives.
