Evaluating an NMR Facility A new high-resolution, 600-MHz nuclear magnetic resonance facility at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh needs evaluating. Scientists are invited to submit one-page proposals for short-term (one week or less) projects t h a t will p u t the instrument through its paces. A variety of projects then will be scheduled for this spring, and participating scientists also will take part in a symposium once projects are completed. Proposals may be submitted to Dr. K. D. Kopple, Chairman, N M R Facility Advisory Committee, Dept. of Chemistry, Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, 111. 60616. 312-567-3433.
