PRELIMINARY
PROGRAM
Chicago '210TH ACS NATIONAL MEETING
August 20-24, 1995 A t the national meeting in ChicaΖ Λ go, 29 of the society's technical J L T J L divisions, three committees, one committee task force, and one secretar iat will participate in nearly 500 techni cal sessions. More than 4,000 papers will be presented. Theme programming, long a goal of ACS meetings, has a new face at the meeting. Under this program coordina tion effort, topics that are pertinent either to current issues or to the meeting loca tion are selected, and prograniming that falls within the identified themes are featured. At this year's Program Coordi nation Conference, two themes were se lected for the Chicago meeting: quality standards and biotechnology for bioremediation. In the technical program summary that starts on the facing page, a bold Β denotes those symposia or poster sessions that are considered to be within the biotechnology for bioremediation theme; a bold Q marks those with in the quality standards theme. Sugges tions for themes for future meetings are welcome; address correspondence to the chairman of the Committee on Meetings & Expositions. In addition, the chemical industry will be the focus of several events. Among them, the presidential plenary event, "Industries Create Inventions: From the Lab to Your Home/' will begin late Sun day afternoon. This visual tour of how ideas are developed, processed, and packaged includes equipment, products, and displays as well as explanatory text and illustrations. In a Division of Poly mer Chemistry symposium, the indus trial innovation process will be viewed from the polymer perspective in 12 pre sentations—technical case studies—from 44

It's a chemists best friend. Ask the very enthusiastic Ben SaJlard why he and his fellow chemists in Process Tfech use Power Macintosh™ and you'll get more reasons than can fit in one ad. A lot more. Because they don't just use the RISC-based Power Macintosh to explore the intricacies of new chemical compounds. They also use it to collaborate with microbiologists, environmentalists, analysts and economists-in short, the different "ists" all around the world who help Sandoz Agro develop and market new products. They use Power Mac™toconnecttothe Internet, where they can share select findings with the scientific community at large. (And make sure other findings haven't yet been found.) They even use Power Macintosh to save money. Like the time they went off and optimized a deprotonization on a Mac™ instead of building a pilot plant. And saved $30 million. That made the whole group look good. And bred a new kind of loyalty between Ben and his Mac. The kind usually reserved for someone named Spot.

Chicago HOUSING Room reservations. Mail the housing form (see page 68) for the official hotels listed on page 66 to ACS, Meetings Department, P.O. Box 18598,20th St. Station, Washington, D.C. 20036-8598. Reservations at the ACS rate cannot be made directly with the hotels and cannot be made by telephone. Requests may be faxed to (202) 872-4081, (202) 872-6128, or (202) 833-7711, but please do not send a second copy by regular mail unless you mark the mailed copy "confirming fax/' since this will result in duplicate reservations. (Because of the large volume, we are unable to confirm receipt of faxes.) Use a separate form for each room requested. Registrants sharing a room should use one form listing the names of all occupants. Reservations will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis only. Please note at least four choices when making your selection. If all the hotels you've requested are sold out, the next available hotel will be assigned according to your location and rate preference. Deadline for receipt of all housing transactions is July 21. Reservations will be acknowledged directly to the individual listed on the reservation form, indicating the assigned hotel, rate, and room guarantee information. Please allow at least 10 business days for processing a request. Requests received after the deadline will be returned. Occasionally, housing requests are sent but not received by ACS. You may confirm your reservation two weeks after sending it by calling the ACS Housing Bureau. Sometimes, ACS acknowledgments are mailed but are never received by the guest. Please do not assume you were assigned any of your hotel choices. If you do not receive an acknowledgment in the mail approximately three weeks after sending your housing form, you should call the ACS Housing Bureau at (202) 872-6008 and confirm your hotel assignment. Housing applies to Aug. 16 through Aug. 25 only. If you wish to extend your stay beyond the time of the meeting (arriving before Aug. 16, departing after Aug. 25) you must make reservations for the additional nights directly with your assigned hotel. Accommodations are available for guests with disabilities. If you require special accommodations because of a disability, please mark the appropriate box on your housing form. Do not send a check to ACS. Checks and money orders received by the ACS Housing Bureau will be returned to you. If you provided a credit card number, it will be forwarded to the hotel to guaran-
tee your reservation. If you did not provide a credit card number, you will need to guarantee your room directly to your assigned hotel within 10 days of the date on your ACS housing acknowledgment. If you do not have a credit card, payment for your entire stay may be required upon check-in. Failure to guarantee your reservation directly with your assigned hotel can result in cancellation of your room reservation. Some hotels may elect to charge a one night's deposit on your credit card upon receipt rather than wait until you arrive. Don't be a no show. Failure to cancel a guaranteed reservation can result in a one night's charge to your credit card by the hotel. Changes in arrival/departure dates or cancellations by July 21 should be faxed or mailed to ACS. After July 21, all correspondence concerning housing matters, including cancellations and changes, should be made directly with the hotel. A map indicating hotel locations appears on page 66. Hotel codes, names, ACS guaranteed rates, and other hotel information are also on page 66. Be sure to provide all the information requested on the ACS housing form. All hotels on the ACS housing list will have access to a complimentary shuttle Sunday through Thursday to McCormick Place.
