American Chemical Society Congressional Fellowships Candidates for a 1-year appointment for two ACS Congressional Fellowships are being sought. The deadline for receipt of applications is January 31, 1985 and the fellowship term will begin in September 1985. The objectives of the fellowship program are: to provide an opportunity for scientist to gain firsthand knowledge of the operations of the legislative branch of the federal government; to make available to the government an increasing amount of scientific and technical expertise; and to broaden the perspective of both the scientific and governmental communities regarding the value of such scientific-governmental interaction. Applications should be submitted to Dr. Annette T. Rosenblum, Department of Public Affairs, American Chemical Society, 1155 16th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036. For further information write Ms. Amanda B. Huston at the above address or call (202) 872-4384.

Annual Volumes of Organic Syntheses The first free copy (Vol. 62, edited by G. Saucy) was sent to members last spring. The second free copy (Vol. 63, edited by C. H. Heathcock) is expected to be available in January. Organic Syntheses is providing these copies and the Division is paying for their distribution.

Abstracts

Notice to Divisional Members Living Outside the U.S., Canada, and Mexico Because the mailing costs for divisional members living outside the U.S., Canada, and Mexico exceed, by a substantial amount, the dues paid by these members, the Executive Committee has decided to send the divisional abstracts for national meetings to these members by surf ace instead of air. Some of these members may not receive the abstracts before the meeting. Members who attend the meeting and have not received divisional abstracts may obtain a set of abstracts free of charge from the ACS Operations Office at the meeting.

The abstracts of papers presented before the Organic Division will be lithographed and distributed to the members of the Division. Complete sets of the abstracts of all papers presented at the Fall 1984 National ACS Meeting may be obtained from ACS Distribution Service. Be sure to indicate Divisional Membership when ordering. A limited number of copies of the abstracts of papers previously presented before the Division are available from the Secretary's office upon receipt of a self-addressed, stamped ($1.05) envelope (at least 811 x 10") and remission of $1.50 per abstract of National meetings, $2.00 per abstract of National Organic Symposia.

Book Discount for Members Coupons which provide substantial discounts on the purchase of books from Academic Press, Holden Day, John Wiley & Sons, Marcel Dekker, Pergamon, Plenum, University Science Books, and Verlag Chemie Publishing companies were included in the spring mailing. New members are sent coupons for the current year on enrnllment in the Division and coupons for the next year will be sent to members in the spring mailing.

I. ACS Requirements

Information for Authors of Papers

The Bylaws of the American Chemical Society place the following requirements on paper that are presented at National ACS Meetings.

1. ACS Membership At least one author of each paper must be a member of the American Chemical Society, unless all the authors are not chemists or engineers residing in the United States.

II. Organic Division Requirements and Policies The Organic Division has the following Bylaws and policies pertaining to papers submitted for presentation at National ACS Meetings.

1. Under no circumstances should a paper appear in print in a journal other than as a coinmunication to the editor before the oral presentation. Responsibility for ensuring that this policy not be violated rests solely with the author(s). If a manuscript is accepted for publication prior to or shortly after submission of the paper for presentation at a Meeting , the author(s) should specifically request the editor to arrange publication in an issue that is circulated after the ACS Meeting.

2. Short Abstracts Four identical copies of a 150 word (or equivalent) abstract are required . The original must be typed on the new abstract form and submitted with three Xerox or carbon copies on at least 16 lb. bond paper. The abstract itself must be kept within a 7¥2'' X 3Ys" area. The preparation of a short abstract demands care and attention since direct photoreproduction will be used.

3. Long Abstracts One copy of a long abstract (at least 1,000 words) of the paper to be presented which contains a detailed description of the experimental work upon which the paper is based must be submitted. A copy of the manuscript in a form to be submitted for publication constitutes an ideal long abstract. No paper can be accepted for the meeting program unless it is accompanied by a long abstract. After the long abstract has been reviewed in preparation for the program, the long abstract of each paper accepted will be sent to the chairman of the session in which the paper is to be presented. The presiding officer will either serve as discussion leader for each of the papers in his session or will appoint some other person to serve as discussion leader. The long abstract cannot be returned. Manuscripts for publication should be sent to the editors of the journals and not the Secretary of the Division.

4. Deadline for Receipt The original and three copies of the 150-word abstract and one copy of the 1,000-word abstract should reach the office of the Secretary no later than December 14, 1984. Since the program is arranged and the 150-word abstracts mailed to Washington immediately after this date , no papers can be accepted, withdrawn, or changed after December 14, 1984. Please be certain of your plans before submitting a paper.

5. Scheduling of Papers Insofar as possible, the papers are arranged according to subject matter. Please do not request the scheduling of a paper at a specific time unless a conflict makes it impossible for you to attend on certain days. However, if such a conflict exists, please advise the Secretary no later than December 14, 1984. If the author is presenting a paper before one of the other divisions during the same meeting please advise the secretary of the day on which the paper is to be presented no later than December 14, 1984.

6. Notification of Acceptance The author presenting the paper will be notified of the date and time when his paper has been scheduled approximately five weeks after the Secretary's deadline. If a paper cannot be accepted, the author will be notifed of this fact approximately four weeks after the Secretary's deadline, and all of the abstracts will be returned.

7. Acknowledgment of Receipt Any author desiring acknowledgment of receipt of a submitted paper should include a self-addressed, stamped postcard.

III. Slides and Oral Presentation

Each meeting room will be equipped with a blackboard and with projection facilities for 2" x 2" slides and overhead transparencies. Authors should be sure their slides are legible and present a reasonable amount of data on each slide. Manuscripts should not be read verbatim. The Executive Committee recommends strongly that each paper be presented by the senior author. However, whether the paper is presented by a junior or senior author, the presentation should be carefully prepared so that it is properly timed and of high quality. Since the time allotted to each oral presentation is only fifteen minutes it is suggested that no more than ten slides be used in the presentation.
