Division Officers Elected

Nobuhiko Ishibashi—Spectroscopist

J o s e p h L. Glajch, research manager of the New Product Chemistry Group of the DuPont Merck Pharmaceutical Company, North Billerica, MA, was recently elected chairman-elect of the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry. Glajch received his A.B. degree from Cornell University and a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from the University of Georgia in 1978, working under the direction of L. B. Rogers. He then joined the Central Research and Development Department at E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. in Wilmington, DE, where he worked in a process research/catalysis group developing chromatographic methods for on-line measurement before becoming a supervisor in the molecular biology section, where he was responsible for separations research, protein characterization, and oligonucleotide synthesis. In 1985 he moved to the analytical section as the supervisor of a separations research group and continued work on column packing development and optimization of phase systems in HPLC. Glajch currently is responsible for formulation and analytical methods development of radiopharmaceuticals. He has 33 publications and three patents in the field of analytical chemistry. He has served as president of the Chromatography Forum of the Delaware Valley and helped initiate collaboration among chromatography discussion groups in the mid-1980s. In 1982 he was program chairman of the International Symposium on Column Liquid Chromatography, on whose organizing committee he continues to serve. Glajch is a past member of the Executive Committee of the Separations Subdivision of the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry and has served the Delaware Section of ACS as a staff member of its local publication, the Del-Chem Bulletin. He currently holds memberships on the Executive Committee of the New England Chromatography Council and the Division of Analytical Chemistry Graduate Fellowship Committee. He is also chairman of the 1991 Gordon Conference on Analytical Chemistry. Other officers elected were Sarah Rutan of Virginia Commonwealth University, secretary; William Heineman of the University of Cincinnati, councilor; and Roland Hirsch of the National Institutes of Health, alternate councilor. Charles Wilkins of the University of California-Riverside assumed the 1991 chairmanship in October. David Curran of the University of Massachusetts will continue to serve as treasurer. Continuing to serve as councilors are Edward Yeung of Iowa State University, Jeanne Pemberton of the University of Arizona, and Galen Ewing, formerly of Seton Hall University. Ted Williams of the College of Wooster, Margaret Merritt of Wellesley College, and Robert Osteryoung of the State University of New York at Buffalo will continue to serve as alternate councilors.

The JOURNAL regrets to report the death of Nobuhiko Ishibashi of the School of Engineering, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan, on Aug. 23, 1991. Ishibashi was a distinguished scholar and leader in Japanese analytical chemistry and served on the Advisory Board of ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY from 1987 to 1989.

Chromatography The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) Commission on Analytical Nomenclature is seeking comments on a document entitled "Nomenclature for Chromatography." This document lists all the terms and definitions used in the major chromatographic techniques, such as gas, liquid, supercritical fluid, column, planar, partition, adsorption, ion-exchange, and size-exclusion chromatographies. A copy of the document is available from the ACS Journals Department, P.O. Box 3330, Columbus, OH 43210. Comments should be sent by June 30, 1992, to C. A. Cramers, Eindhoven University of Technology, Laboratory of Instrumental Analysis, Department of Chemistry, 5600 MB Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

For Your Information Graduate School and Beyond, a booklet from the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, provides college women interested in science careers with practical, how-to advice from women scientists. Based on a panel discussion at the Laboratory's annual "Science Careers in Search of Women" conference, the booklet offers personal experience and guidance on selecting a graduate school, supporting oneself through school, choosing a thesis advisor, combining a career and family life, planning for the future, and fulfilling unspoken requirements such as preparing and giving seminar talks. To order, contact the Division of Educational Programs, Argonne National Laboratory, 9700 S. Cass Ave., Argonne, IL 60439. The Joint Committee on Atomic and Molecular Physical Data (JCAMP) is organizing a round-robin program exchange of JCAMP—DX data files. Software developers and instrument vendors are invited to submit files prior to Jan. 1, 1992. Each participating user will receive an IBM PC-compatible diskette and a request for a report on how well the software reads the files. Results will be reported at Pittcon '92. For further information, contact Robert S. McDonald, 9 Woodside Dr., Burnt Hills, NY 12027 (518-399-5145, fax 518-399-6868).
