George Pimentel's Vision of Chemical Education: Moving Toward the 21st Century

Teleconferencing from Boston Teleconferencing is a regular feature of ACS national meetings and will be conducted in Boston. With the growing number of enthusiastic subscribers we are looking forward to the success of the sessions.

Subscribing sites will be linked by telephone lines to the Boston sessions right from their own meeting room, allowing scientists hundreds of miles from the session room to hear presentations and to ask questions and comment during discussion oeriods. Each location will receive a set of speakers' slides for viewing during the presentations and abstracts of these papers. Each half-day session will cost $600 per remote location

If your organization has several scientists who are interested m participating and you would like to know more about the program, the symposium to be teieconferenced, and/or subscription fees, please contact the ACS Department of Meetings & Divisional Activities at (202) 872-4608.

Housing Room Reservations. All housing requests for the official hotels at the meeting should be submitted to American Chemical Society, Meetings, P.O. Box 18598,20th St. Station, Washington, D.C. 20036-8598. Use the official housing form on page 80. Reservations cannot be made by telephone. Requests may be faxed to (202) 872-6128, but please do not send a second copy by regular mail, as this would result in duplication of your request.

April is an extremely busy month for Boston hotels and hotel space is limited. Do not be disappointed, secure a reservation by sending your housing request as soon as possible. Deadline for receipt of all housing transactions is March 23. Reservations received after the deadline cannot be processed and will be returned. Reservations will be confirmed directly to the individual listed on the reservation form by ACS, indicating the hotel assigned and a guaranteed rate. Please allow at least two weeks for processing your request.


Tips for a safe stay • When walking, stick to main thorough

fares and well-lit areas. • If walking, don't wear fancy jewelry in

plain sight. • Don't wear your meeting badge out

side the hotels. • Be cognizant and alert to surround

ings. 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, par

ticularly in the evening. • Abide by common sense: If something

looks suspicious, report it and/or avoid it.

Boston housing applies to April 19 through April 27 only. If you wish to extend your stay beyond the time of the meeting (arriving before April 19, departing after April 27) you must make reservations for the additional nights directly with the hotel.

If registrants are sharing a twin- or double-bedded room, use only one form listing the names of all occupants. Use a separate form for each room request. Incomplete or incorrect information on the form will delay processing. If the type of accommodation requested is sold out, the next closest type will be assigned according to your preference listed on the housing form. Please note at least four choices when making your selection. Every attempt will be made to honor your first choice.

At least two weeks prior to your arrival the hotels require a one night's deposit to guarantee your room. You may pay with a credit card number, check, or money order. The deposit must go directly to your assigned hotel. Do not send your credit card number or check to ACS. Each hotel has a different cancellation policy. Check with your assigned hotel regarding its specific refund policy.

At check-in, the hotels require establishment of credit. A major credit card is acceptable. If you do not have a credit card, cash for your entire stay may be required.

Changes in arrival/departure dates or cancellations prior to March 23 should be directed to the ACS Housing Bureau, (202) 872-6008. After March 23, all correspondence concerning housing matters, including reservations, cancellations, and changes, should be made directly with the hotel. A map showing hotel locations appears on page 78, along with hotel names, addresses, ACS guaranteed rates, and other hotel information.

Travel Information Air transportation arrangements have been made with both Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines for attendees to obtain discounted air fares to and from Boston. These discounts are particularly advantageous for those not planning to be in Boston over a Saturday night and who therefore do not qualify for many of the published discounted fares.

Reservations and Tickets. Reservations for Delta Air Lines may be made through Delta at their U.S. nationwide toll-free number, which is staffed seven days a week from 8 AM to 8 PM, eastern time. That number is (800) 241-6760. Identify the ACS meeting by indicating the file number D0269. You also may obtain the reduced fare by contacting Travelogue, at (800) 368-5858, 8:30 AM to 6 PM, eastern time, Monday through Fri

day. The meeting identification is "ACS." In the D.C. Metro area, you may call (202) 962-3111.

Tickets on Northwest Airlines may be reserved by telephoning its toll-free number at (800) 328-1111 from 7 AM to 10:30 PM, central time, seven days a week. The number to identify your request with the ACS meeting is 18369.

Because the number of seats available on any given flight is limited, it is very important that reservations be made as early as possible. The lowest available fare for which you qualify will be given to you at the time of your inquiry. If you qualify for one of the advertised discounted airfares, ask what restrictions apply to that fare. In some cases, no refunds or changes are allowed.

Fares. Delta will provide a 40% discount and Northwest will provide a 45% discount off the unrestricted round-trip coach fare for domestic U.S. flights. Travel from Canadian cities will be given a 35% discount on both airlines. Seven-day advance ticketing is required. Both airlines will provide a 5% discount off any published special rate provided restrictions on booking date, refunds, and the like are met.

Local Arrangements ACS Hospitality Center. The Northeastern Local Section, ACS, welcomes visitors and invites meeting participants to visit the hospitality center, located in the Hynes Convention Center, Suite 300. Volunteers will provide information and guidance on points of interest, cultural events, restaurants, transportation, and information that will help make your visit more pleasant. Tickets for tours will be sold only in the Hospitali

ty Center. Hours will be noon to 5 PM on Sunday, April 22, and 8 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Thursday.

ACS Member Resource Center. All attendees are invited to visit the center to learn about ACS services, activities, and products. The resource center will be located in the Main Lobby of the Convention Center. If you have a question concerning your membership, ACS staff at the center will be pleased to assist you.

Attendee Locator. A file of registrants will be on display in the Registration Foyer, 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

Career development tutorial: expanding your options As part of a program of career services to ACS members, the Committee on Professional Relations is sponsoring a tutorial on career guidance and assessment, career tracks and planning, and increasing career options in the chemical industry and elsewhere. Sessions are designed for midcareer chemists interested in or undergoing a career change as well as others who wish to investigate options.

There is a $20 materials fee for the tutorial, which is available only to ACS members registered for the Boston meeting. Meeting registration is free to unemployed ACS members registered for the employment clearinghouse.

Led by David Daniel and Dorothy Rodmann of the ACS Personnel Office, staff for the sessions are professionals with training in various areas of career guidance, development, and assessment of skills and career goals.

Two sessions are scheduled: Sunday, April 22, and Monday, April 23. Both sessions meet from 8 AM to 5 PM. Sessions feature small group tutorials and are limited to 35 registrants each. If one of the sessions fills, registrants will be assigned to the remaining session on a first-come, first-registered basis.

To register for either tutorial session, please write to: Ulrick Rosemond, Office of Professional Services, Room 202, American Chemical Society, 1155—16th St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036, enclosing a check to ACS for the $20 materials fee.

Although you may register for the tutorial before you register for the national meeting, you must be registered for both by the time of the tutorial sessions. An information packet with tutorial preparation materials will be mailed to registrants beginning in March.

Employment and Career Services ACS will operate a National Employment Clearing House (NECH) in conjunction with the meeting in Boston. NECH is open to all ACS members and student affiliates who are unemployed, looking for a career change, newly graduated, or retired.

Advance registration is strongly encouraged for candidates and employers; both, however, may register on site. Advance registration provides candidates the opportunity to prepare legible, preferably typed, NECH forms; and employers the opportunity to have positions posted early, begin to review candidate r eco rds a n d s c h e d u l e i n t e r v i e w s promptly on Monday morning, and save money on NECH registration fees since on-site registration (for the first time) will be more expensive.
