30th Annual Summer Symposium on Analytical Chemistry
"Chromatographic/Spectroscopic Combinations" is the title of the 1986 Summer Symposium of the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry. The symposium will be held June 18-20, 1986, on the campus of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. The general chairman is Joel M. Harris of the University of Utah, and the program chairman is Harold M. McNair of Virginia Tech. The symposium is sponsored by the ACS Division of Analytical Chemist r y and A N A L Y T I C A L
CHEMISTRY.
University of Utah The University of Utah is located next to the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains overlooking downtown Salt Lake City. Founded in 1850, it is the oldest state university west of the Missouri River and presently has a student population of 25,000. The Department of Chemistry is composed of 31 faculty members, 60 postdoctoral fellows, and 120 graduate students. The Henry Eyring Chemistry Building has recently undergone a 60,000-ft2 expansion of its research space with the addition of a new wing. Housing Housing will be available in air-conditioned residence halls on the University of Utah campus or at local motels and hotels in Salt Lake City. Residence hall
rates are $14 per night for a singleoccupancy room and $11 per night for a double-occupancy room. Rates include complete linen and towel service and a private phone. Food services will be available at the Olpin Union, and there are also a number of restaurants that are less than 100 yards from the campus. On-campus housing is within convenient walking distance of the Henry Eyring Chemistry Building where the symposium lectures and discussions will be held. Downtown Salt Lake City hotels are about three miles from the University of Utah campus; no transportation between hotels and the symposium will be provided. Registration and requests for housing should be made on the attached registration form and must be received by May 23. Registration and special gatherings Symposium registration will take place in the foyer of the Henry Eyring Chemistry Building on Tuesday, J u n e 17, from 4 P.M. to 8 P.M. and on Wednesday from 7:45 A.M. until noon. A reception will be held at 6:30 P.M. on Wednesday, June 18, and a symposium banquet will take place on Thursday evening. The full registration fee of $100, or student registration of $25, includes symposium materials and admission to all technical sessions, the
University of Utah campus with the Wasatch Mountains in the background reception, and Thursday night banquet. Additional banquet tickets for guests can be ordered on the attached registration form. Travel Airline connections to Salt Lake City are convenient, with nonstop service available from most major airports in the United States. Limousine shuttle service from the airport to the University of Utah campus is available. For those conferees who will be driving, there is free parking adjacent to the residence halls; daily permits for parking in lots next to the Henry Eyring Chemistry Building can be purchased during registration hours. Family activities There are a number of interesting sites to see on the University of Utah campus, including the Utah Museum of Natural History, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, and the State Arboretum Center. Recreational facilities on campus will also be available to all registrants, including a swimming pool, tennis courts, racquetball courts, and a nine-hole golf course. Within three miles of campus are Hogle Zoo and downtown Salt Lake City, which can

both be reached by public transporta tion. The alpine canyons and 11,000-ft granite peaks of the Wasatch Mountains are about a 20-mile drive from the University of Utah; maps of local places of interest will be distributed. For further information about any aspect of the symposium, contact Joel M. Harris, ACS Analytical Summer Symposium, Department of Chemistry, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah 84112 (801-581-3585).
The symposium is divided into five half-day sessions dealing with supercrit ical fluid chromatography and spectros copy, LC/FT-IR, LC/MS, developments in separations and detection, and gen eral topics. Lectures will cover an over view of each area, new concepts in instrumentation, reports of recent research activities, and development of applications. The following is the com plete program of the symposium.

How to minimize pressure drop in preparative LC. The high flow rates used in modern preparative LC can cause excessive pressure drops. For example, at 300 mL/min a standard Rheodyne analytical valve can cause a pressure drop of 150 psi. By substituting a Rheodyne valve with larger flow passages, one designed for preparative work, this can be reduced to 17 psi. Rheodyne's Tech Note #7 contains formulas and graphs that enable you to calculate pressure drop in valves and tubes. One handy graph plots pressure drop vs. flow rate for Rheodyne valves. The data is supported by theoretical calculations (considering both laminar and turbulent flow) and verified by experimental results.
Send for Tech Note #7. Please address Rheodyne, Inc., PQ Box 996, Cotati, California 94928 U.S.A. Phone (707) 664-9050.

Bruce Ames Receives Spencer Award Bruce Ames of the University of California at Berkeley has received the 1985 Kenneth A. Spencer Award. Ames is being honored for his many contributions to the study of genetic toxicology and molecular biology. One of his outstanding achievements has been the development of the Ames test, which uses bacterial strains to detect chemicals that mutate DNA. Un-

Howard Barth, senior research chemist with the analytical division of Hercules Research Center in Delaware, has been appointed associate editor of the Journal of Applied Polymer Science. Barth received his B.A. in chemistry and Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from Northeastern University. He is currently group leader of the gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, particle size analysis, and polymer analysis sections at Hercules. He is also serving a three-year term on ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY'S INSTRU-
MENTATION Advisory Panel. Berth's appointment reflects an expansion in the scope of the journal in publishing papers on analysis and characterization. Enhanced coverage of techniques, instrumentation, methodologies, and applications involving the study, analysis, and characterization of synthetic and naturally occurring polymers and related materials is being planned.

like methods used previously, the Ames test allows quick screening of new drugs, pesticides, and other chemicals—before the manufacturer has invested heavily in the production of new compounds and before millions of people are exposed to a potential hazard. This test has been used extensively to detect dangerous compounds, and the impact has been profound for industry and the general public. Ames received his B.A. in chemistry in 1950 from Cornell University and his Ph.D. in biochemistry from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. He is currently professor and chairman of the department of biochemistry at the University of California at Berkeley. The award, consisting of a $3000 honorarium, a medal of honor, and an expense-paid trip to receive the award, is sponsored by the Kansas City Section of the American Chemical Society.
