NEWS of preparative LC, ion-pair LC, and size exclusion LC. Cur rently he is working on capillary electroseparation systems and the application of porous graphite to LC. Knox's numerous honors include the 1983 Dal Nogare Award and the 1985 Tswett Chromatography Medal. Henry Freiser received his B.S. de gree from the City College of New York (1941) and an M.S. degree (1942) and a Ph.D. (1944) from Duke Univer sity. After appointment to the facul ties of North Dakota State College and the University of Pittsburgh, he joined the faculty at the University of Arizona in 1958. Freiser's research has centered around his interest in the role of molecular structural fac tors affecting chemical and physical properties. Based on systematic studies of solvent extraction processes from a fundamental point of view, he has developed techniques to examine intimate details of the mechanism of such process es; novel, highly selective and sensitive metal extractants; and highly selective and sensitive electrochemical sensors. His studies have made an impact in illuminating the rele vance of solvent extraction concepts to surface chemistry at liquid-liquid interfaces. In 1957, Freiser and G. H. Morrison published the first book on the principles and practices of solvent extraction, Solvent Extraction in Analytical Chemistry. This classic work has been translated into five languages and is current ly being revised. Freiser was the recipient of the 1987 Division of Analyti cal Chemistry Award for Excellence in Teaching. Evan C. Horning received a B.S. de gree from the University of Pennsyl vania (1937) and a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois (1940). He joined the faculty at the University of Penn sylvania in 1945, and moved to the National Heart Institute (National In stitutes of Health) in 1950, where he headed the laboratory of chemistry of natural products. In 1961, Horning was appointed professor of chemistry at the Baylor College of Medicine. In addition to his current position with Baylor's chemistry department, Horning serves as adjunct professor of biochemistry at Rice Univer sity and is the director of Baylor's Institute for Lipid Re search. Homing's numerous awards and honors include the 1975 Tswett Chromatography Medal, the 1979 ACS Award in Chromatography, and the 1980 Dal Nogare Award. Marjorie G. Horning received a B.A. degree from Goucher College (1938), and her M.S. degree (1940) and Ph.D. (1943) from the University of Michi gan. She worked as a research chemist at the National Heart Institute from 1951 to 1961 and joined the staff at the Baylor College of Medicine in 1961. She currently serves as a profes sor of biochemistry with the depart ment of biochemistry and the Institute for Lipid Research and as an adjunct professor of biochemical and biophysical sciences at the University of Houston. She is also a special member of the graduate faculty at the University of Texas Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences.
Horning was the recipient of the Garvan Medal in 1977 and is a former member of the Advisory Board of ANALYT ICAL C H E M I S T R Y (1975-77).
The Hornings were pioneers in promoting and establish ing GC/MS as a tool for biochemistry and medicine. Their early research focused on synthetic organic chemistry; in the 1960s, their interests expanded to include GC. They es tablished many procedures for isolating samples from bio logical matrices prior to GC analysis, and the principles of these procedures have been subsequently applied to the field of GC/MS. The Hornings developed new chemical derivatization procedures to facilitate vapor analysis of a variety of compounds including fatty acids, hydroxamic acids, steroids, phospholipids, and barbiturates. They were instrumental in developing atmospheric pres sure ionization MS in the early 1970s. The success of this technique resulted in methods with detection limits at the femtogram and attomole levels. Specifically, their work has involved trace-level determination of nicotine and other drugs in biological fluids.
Kolthoff Enrichment Awards Seven undergraduates have been awarded the first I. M. Kolthoff Enrichment Awards. These awards, sponsored by the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry, were established in 1987 and are given annually to undergraduates demon strating a special interest and competency in analytical chemistry. The students are entering their final year of un dergraduate studies. Up to $1000 comes with the award, and the money is to be used for an activity (such as re search or meeting attendance) that falls outside the curric ulum requirements for a degree. This year's winners are Cheryl Davis, Mary Washington College; Harvey Fishman, The Pennsylvania State Univer sity; Trent Peterson, Fort Lewis College; Mary Staton, Tennessee Technological University; Linda Szabo, Wellesley College; Christopher Thomas, University of Wyoming; and Sheryl Tucker, Kent State University. Honorable men tions were awarded to George Mickelson, State University of New York, College at Brockport; Jeffery Pilgrim, Uni versity of Georgia; and Radha Pyati, The Ohio State Uni versity.
