Preliminary Program
Eight sessions to be téléconférence from New Orleans The Symposium on Polymeric Microemulsions will be teleconferenced from the New Orleans meeting. Sponsored by the Macromolecular Secretariat, this symposium has been organized by four divisions: Polymer Chemistry, Polymeric Materials: Science & Engineering, Colloid & Surface Chemistry, and Cellulose, Paper & Textile. The four-day program will feature internationally recognized speakers and will cover all aspects of the topic. If your organization has several scientists who are interested in this timely symposium, but who cannot travel to New Orleans, a teleconference subscription will allow them to participate in the meeting right in your conference room. Subscribing sites will be linked to the New Orleans symposium by telephone lines, which will allow scientists hundreds of miles from the session room to hear presentations and to ask questions and comment during discussion periods. Each location will receive a set of speakers' slides for viewing during the presentations and abstracts of these papers. Teleconferencing is now a regular feature of ACS national meetings and the number of enthusiastic subscribers is growing. If your company would like to learn more about the program, the symposium speakers and/or subscription fees, please contact the Department of Meetings & Divisional Activities at (202) 872-4401.

Preliminary Program
Local Arrangements ACS Hospitality Center. The ACS Louisiana Section will host a Hospitality Center in the Sheraton New Orleans, Lagniappe Lounge. Details of tours which have been arranged are provided elsewhere in this program. Attendee Locator. A file of registrants will be on display in the registration area, Convention Center, where registrants can find the local addresses of colleagues attending the meeting. You are urged to visit the center and fill in the information on your card, if you have not done so in advance or if the information has changed since you submitted your registration form. It is also helpful in the event of an emergency. Day Care Services. Arrangements for child care can be made directly through your hotel. The Concierge Desk in each property has a list of bonded child-care attendants. ACS offers this information for the convenience of registrants, but can in no way accept responsibility or liability for care provided by these services. Facilities for the Handicapped. Most facilities used for meeting functions are readily accessible. Hotels having appropriately designed sleeping rooms are identified in the list. There is a box on the registration form to be checked if you would like to be contacted in advance of the meeting concerning other special needs. TTY phone requests only can be made by calling (202) 872-8733. Shuttle Service. The city's bus service is very convenient for registrants. In addition ACS will operate a complimentary shuttle between the Sheraton /Marriott and the Convention Center, Monday through Friday. The service will be extended to include the Clarion and the Fairmont during the early morning and late afternoon hours. Further details will be included in the final program. Speakers Information. Each meeting room will be equipped as follows: 2 inch X 2 inch (35 mm) slide projector, overhead projector, screen, and lighted reading desk with remote slide control and lapel microphone. Requests in writing for other special equipment must be received by the ACS Meetings Department by July 1. Rental Car Discounts.

No identification number is needed. Simply indicate that you are planning to attend the ACS national meeting in New Orleans. Air Transportation. Arrangements have been made with Delta Airlines, Northwest Airlines, and United Airlines for attendees to obtain discounted air fares to and from New Orleans. These discounts are particularly advantageous for those not planning to be in New Orleans over a Saturday night and therefore do not qualify for published discounted fares. Tickets, which must be issued at least seven days before departure (except for United), may be obtained by providing credit card information when making reservations or subsequently through the ticket offices of the respective airlines, or through travel agents. Because the number of seats available on any given flight is limited, it is very important that reservations be made as early as possible. United Airlines: a 5% savings off any round-trip fares for which attendees qualify (based on normal restrictions),
including first class and MaxSaver, or a 40% discount off normal round-trip coach fares with no restrictions (including round-trips from Honolulu and Canada). These discounts will apply from Aug. 25-Sept. 8,1987. Call United's tollfree number 1-800-521-4041 [in Canada call (800) 265-4873 and ask for extension 6601, Convention Reservations] and identify the ACS meeting by the number 7155D. All reservations must be made through the 800 number, which is open from 8:30 AM to 11 PM, eastern time, seven days a week. Delta Airlines: a 5% savings off any Delta published round-trip fare within the U.S. and San Juan, including all promotional and deeply discounted Supersaver fares, providing all rules and conditions of the airfares are met, or a 40% discount on Delta's domestic system on full nondiscounted, roundtrip day-coach fares. (Canada also will apply, but with a 35% discount.) Originating travel will be allowed from Aug. 21,1987, and a maximum stay of 21 days will be permitted. Call Delta's tollfree number 1-800-241-6760 (or have

Look alert. • When walking after dark, don't hug the buildings or cars; walk in the open or near the curb. • Carry your purse close to your body. • Don't leave valuables in your room. Get a hotel safe deposit box. • Go in numbers. Don't be a loner, particularly in the evening. • Abide by common sense: If something looks suspicious, report it and/or avoid it.
