Meetings

AGS program deadlines and topics Deadlines and topics for ACS meetings, spring 1980 (March 23-28, Houston), fall 1980 (Aug. 24-29, San Francisco) and later, and for national symposia organized by individual divisions and committees are listed on this and following pages. The society bylaw governing presentation of papers appears below. ABSTRACT FORMS are available from all division secretaries, committee program chairmen, and from the Department of Meetings & Divisional Activities, ACS, 1155—16th St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036. Detailed instructions are included with the form. HANDBOOK FOR SPEAKERS, ACS Bulletin No. 8, is also available from this department. SOCIETY BYLAW GOVERNING PAPERS Bylaw VI, Sec. 5 governs presentation at society meetings. 1. The term "paper" shall include any presentation for which the title and authors are listed on the program and which may be reduced to writing either prior to, during, or subsequent to the meeting at which presented. 2. No paper shall be presented at a national, regional, divisional, or other major meeting unless its title appears on the program for the meeting. 3. No paper by a chemist or chemical engineer residing in the United States who is not a member of the Society shall appear on the program of a national, regional, divisional, or other major meeting of the Society unless it be a joint paper with one or more Society members, or unless for a national, regional, or national-divisional meeting the author has been invited to present the paper at a symposium organized by a Division of the Society or by Sections of the Society, and the chairman of such Divisions or of the host Section has certified to the Executive Director of the Society prior to publication of the program that presentation by the author of such paper is important to the success of the symposium. 4. Rules corresponding to paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this section for a cooperative meeting shall be subject to agreement in advance between the organizations concerned but should conform, insofar as possible, to this Bylaw and be subject to approval by the Executive Director of the Society. 5. The Society assumes no responsibility for statements or opinions expressed by individuals in papers or discussion thereof. 36

6. The President shall have authority to exclude any paper from a program at any time prior to its presentation at a meeting of the Society. Regulation VII, Sec. 3 supplements Bylaw VI, Sec. 5 as follows: (a) Authorship of papers shall be accredited only to individuals and not to companies or laboratories. (b) Therapeutic Papers. It is the policy of the Society to encourage the presentation of chemical papers with pharmacological and physiological aspects but to discourage presentation, by other than qualified clinical investigators, of papers in which clinical interpretations are the principal contribution. All Divisions are requested to adhere to this policy when determining the acceptability of papers for their meeting programs. The Divisions also are urged to exclude from their programs, and especially from any abstracts issued, statements recommending procedure for the treatment of human disease or announcement of any "cures" not confirmed by competent medical authority. Any author contributing a paper that includes discussion of the treatment of human disease must submit for review, by representatives of the appropriate Division, a complete manuscript in addition to an abstract. Notes. Submission of papers for presentation at an ACS meeting does not constitute submission for publication in an ACS journal. Regulations for the acceptance of papers to be presented as part of divisional programs at national or divisional meetings vary for each division. However, publication of papers in ACS journals is based upon the earliest date of receipt of the complete paper by the appropriate editor. The council has empowered officers of divisions to request any paper in advance, so that it may be passed upon and an indication made to the author as to whether he is to read the entire paper or to abstract it in order to allow time for discussion. Special attention should be given to the misuse of tradenames, secret formulas, or secret processes in papers at national meetings of the society. It is requested that authors avoid the use of tradenames in papers presented at ACS meetings. Chairmen are responsible for enforcing this policy. Note: The addresses for chairmen of general papers and symposia are indicated only once in each divisional listing.

It's our fault that Turner Spectrophotometers have such a small share of the market. (We've been much too modest...} And that's a shame. Because even our competitors will admit you can't find a better price/value ratio than Turner. Our spectrophotometers feature a 9nm bandwidth, keep stray light to less than 0.5% for a straight line absorbance up to 1.7 at 340nm, and maintain wavelength accuracy of ± 2 n m . All three Turner models have all of these advantages, yet are priced very competitively. And our digital model [very well-priced, too] has direct readout of concentration and linear absorbance. Now you know why we should shine.

We've also become part of Amsco Instrument. So when you talk to our sales representative, you'll find out more about how we're growing and glowing. And why you should join the one per cent. And seethe light.
