Meetings
36th ACS Northwest Regional Meeting The 36th ACS Northwest Regional Meeting will be held June 17-19, in Bozeman, Mont. The ACS Montana Local Section and the chemistry department of Montana State University will host the meeting. Wyn Jennings of Montana State University is general chairman. Program chairman is Gordon Pagenkopf, also of Montana State. The schedule includes special programs and presentations in analytical, biochemistry, chemical education, geochemistry, inorganic, organic, and physical. Symposia are scheduled in natural products, nuclear magnetic resonance, application of electron spectroscopy to surface science, and application of electron spectroscopy to chemical problems. A high school-college interface in chemistry program is scheduled in conjunction with the meeting. The interface will provide a forum for the discussion of topics of mutual concern to people involved in teaching chemistry to high school through second-year college students. Henry A. Bent and W. T. Lippincott will be featured speakers. Major topics of the conference will include innovative teaching methods, laboratory safety, and the teaching of chemical bonding. Credit is available to high school teachers who attend. For further information contact P. W. Jennings, Dept. of Chemistry, Montana State University, Bozeman, Mont. 59717. Tours of the Center for Research in Surface Science & Submicron Analysis (CRISS) will be available at no cost. Bruker

Pacific Conference call for papers The 1981 Pacific Conference on Chemistry & Spectroscopy will be held at the Sheraton-Anaheim Hotel in Anaheim, Calif., Oct. 19-21. The conference will be sponsored by the Southern California Section of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy, and the ACS San Gorgonio and Orange County sections. Papers on chemistry and applied spectroscopy are solicited for the following ACS sessions: Natural Products Synthesis, Asymmetric Synthesis, Organometallic Chemistry, New Reagents in Organic Synthesis, Bio-Organic Mechanisms, Surface Chemistry, Atmospheric Chemistry, Electrochemistry, Laser Spectroscopy, Catalysis, Surface Attached Catalysts, Metal-Carbon Bond-Forming Reactions, Excited States of Metal Systems, Oxygen Activation, New Developments in Instrumental Methods, Clinical Methodology, BioInorganic and Bio-Organic Chemistry, Chemical Education, Alternate Energy Sources, Chromatography, and Problems in Environmental Analysis. Abstracts must be submitted on the Standard ACS Form by June 30 to David Brown, ACS Program Chairman, Chemistry Department, California State Polytechnic University, 3801 West Temple
Ave., Pomona, Calif. 91768. Abstract forms and further information may be obtained from the ACS Program Chairman. Persons interested in the SAS program may contact Anthony D'Amico, Instrumentation Laboratories, 4453 Ave. Rio Del Oro, Yorba Linda, Calif. 92686.
International symposium on molecular theory An international symposium entitled "New Directions for the Molecular Theory of Gases and Liquids" will be held June 18-20 at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. The purpose of the conference, which will honor Prof. J. O. Hirschfelder in his 70th birthday year, is to consider the impact that new experimental discoveries will have on the development of the quantum and statistical mechanical theory of gases and liquids. The conference will consider directions in which theory should be developed in order to deal with experiments, and also new experimental approaches which can test theoretical deductions. The invited speakers at the symposium are: Berni J. Alder, Lawrence Livermore Laboratory; Richard B. Bernstein, Columbia University; A. David Buckingham, Cambridge University; Thomas F. George, University of Rochester; Gerhard Herzberg, Herzberg Institute; William
Klemperer, Harvard University; Robert J. LeRoy, University of Waterloo; Russell T. Pack, Los Alamos National Laboratory; J. Peter Toennies, Max Planck Institute, Gôttingen; Richard N. Zare, Stanford University; Ahmed Zewail, California Institute of Technology. It is anticipated that the proceedings of the conference will be published as a special issue of The Journal of Physical Chemistry. Persons interested in attending the symposium should write directly to Phillip R. Certain, Theoretical Chemistry Institute, University of Wisconsin, 1101 University Ave., Madison, Wis. 53706.
Travel grants available The National Science Foundation has made available a limited number of travel grants to support individuals planning to attend the International Conference on the Chemistry of Platinum Group Metals to be held in Bristol, England, July 19-24, 1981. Anyone interested in applying for international travel support should contact Prof. Stephen J. Lippard, Department of Chemistry, Columbia University, New York, N.Y. 10027, Tel. (212) 2802213. Completed applications must be received no later than May 20. Travel stipends from NSF require use of U.S. flag carriers.
