The 38th Pittsburgh Conference and Exposition on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy will be held March 9-13, 1987, in the Atlantic City Convention Center, Atlantic City, N.J. This year more than 100 technical sessions are scheduled, including 24 planned symposia and more than 1000 papers. The Exposition of Modern Laboratory Equipment will feature more than 750 exhibitors in more than 2050 booths showing the latest analytical instruments, related chemicals, and publications. Several awards will be presented to scientists who have contributed extensively to analytical chemistry and applied spectroscopy. The 1987 P i t t s b u r g h Analytical Chemistry Award, sponsored by the Society for Analytical Chemists of P i t t s b u r g h , will be given to Fred McLafferty of Cornell University in recognition of his continuing contributions in mass spectrometry. The presentation will be made at an award symposium on Tuesday, March 10. The 1987 Pittsburgh Spectroscopy Award, sponsored by the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh, will be presented to Paul Lauterbur of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign at a symposium on Wednesday, March 11. Lauterbur is being recognized for his work in nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, including heteronuclear
NMR and NMR imaging. The 1987 Dal Nogare Award will be presented by the Chromatography Forum of the Delaware Valley to Fred Régnier of Purdue University at a symposium on Tuesday, March 10. Régnier is being honored for his contributions to the study of fundamental principles of macromolecular retention and separation. The 1987 Williams-Wright Award, sponsored by the Coblentz Society, will be presented to A. Lee Smith of Dow Corning for his work in group frequencies, molecular structure determination, and structure-property relationships for organo-silicon compounds. The award will be presented at a symposium on Thursday, March 12. The 1987 Charles N. Reilley Award, given by the Society of Electroanalytical Chemistry (SEAC) and sponsored by Bioanalytical Systems and the Reilley Endowment Fund of SEAC, will be presented to Robert Osteryoung of the State University of New York at Buffalo for his work in pulse polarography, the application of computers to electrochemistry, and electrochemistry of molten salts. The award symposium will be held on Wednesday, March 11. The 1987 Maurice R. Hasler Award, sponsored by Applied Research Laboratories and administered by the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh, will be given to George Pimentel for his

work with matrix isolation spectrometry, chemically pumped lasers, and time-resolved spectrometry at a symposium on Wednesday, March 11. The 1986 Pittsburgh Conference Memorial National College Grants, sponsored by the Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy, the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh, and the Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh, have been awarded to the following colleges: Blackhawk Technical Institute, Janesville, Wis.; Kalamazoo College, Kalamazoo, Mich.; Lebanon Valley College, Annville, Pa.; Médaille College, Buffalo, N.Y.; Middlesex Community College, Bedford, Mass.; Regis College, Weston, Mass.; Rockhurst College, Kansas City, Mo.; Southeast Community College, Cumberland, Ky.; St. Mary of the Plains College, Dodge City, Kan.; St. Mary's College of California, Moraga, Calif.; and St. Scholastica College, Duluth, Minn. In 1987, at least eight colleges will be selected to receive awards for the purchase of scientific equipment, audiovisual and other teaching materials, and library materials for use in teaching science at the undergraduate level. Eligibility for the awards ($2500 maximum) will be based on proposals submitted by the colleges. Further information about the 1987 awards appears in the January 1 issue (p. 26 A).
