News carry out various phases of on-going research or applied programs in analytical areas. Industrial, academic, or governmental laboratories that participate agree to employ one or more undergraduates during the summer. The Professional Status Committee of the Division screens and evaluates applicants and serves as a broker in bringing students and prospective employers together. Participating laboratories are supplied with information on two or three students and are asked to select those most suited, with salary and employment details up to the individual employers. Student qualifications for the program include completion of at least the second year of college, preferably including an instrumental analysis course or its equivalent and a demonstrable interest in analytical chemistry; only in rare instances will graduating seniors be considered. This past summer 13 students were placed in 11 organizations. This compares with the same number of students in 9 organizations during the summer of 1977. The Division is inviting applications from interested students and earnestly seeking increased industrial, governmental, and academic laboratory participation in 1979. Deadline for receipt of applications is February 15, 1979. Application forms and information about the program may be obtained by writing to R/ A. Osteryoung, Chairman, Professional Status Committee, Division of Analytical Chemistry, ACS, c/o Dept. of Chemistry, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colo. 80523. The 11 organizations and 13 students who participated in the program this past summer are listed below: Ames Laboratory Ames, Iowa Annalee Rohrscheib Butler University Brookhaven National Laboratory Upton, N.Y.

In addition, the following laboratories were willing to participate but were unable to secure students in time for their summer programs: BattelleColumbus Laboratory, Columbus, Ohio; Clarkson College, Potsdam, N.Y.; Exxon Research and Engineering Co., Linden, N.J.; Arthur D. Little, Cambridge, Mass.; University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minn.; and NBS, Washington, D.C.
Call for Papers 2nd European Conference on Surface Science Cambridge, England. March 26-29, 1979. The conference will deal with the physics and chemistry of surfaces from both a fundamental and an applied point of view. Topics will include synchrotron studies and EXAFS, surface kinetics and adsorption, ion and molecular beam effects, and semiconductor and polymer surfaces. Invited papers and some contributed papers will be presented orally. The remainder of the contributed papers will be presented in poster sessions. Prospective contributors should submit abstracts of about 200 words, not later than December 1, 1978, to: Conference Chairman, 2nd European Conference on Surface Science, c/o VG Scientific Ltd., The Birches Industrial Estate, East Grinstead, Sussex, England. The proceedings will form one issue of Surface Science and are therefore subject to the normal review standards of that journal.
