Applicants Sought for MRS Graduate Student Awards Students to be Recognized at 1985 Fall Meeting Applications are now being accepted for awards to be given at the 1985 Fall Meeting to graduate students conducting research in an area of materials science. Fifteen awards, to consist of a $250 cash grant, registration fee for the Meeting, and a certificate of achievement, will be bestowed during the Awards Ceremony during the 1985 MRS Fall Meeting in Boston. The deadline for the receipt of applications is September 1, 1985. The awards are given in recognition of a student's contribution to outstanding research in an area of interest to one or more of the topical symposia included in the Fall Meeting. The dominant criteria used in the
selection process are scientific excellence and the demonstrated evidence of the student's contribution to the work.

On February 14, 1985, the University of Antwerp announced the formation of the Institute for Materials Science (IMS). This Institute is an association of 14 laboratories and research institutes located partly on its campus of Universitaire Instelling Antwerpen (UIA) and partly at the Rijksuniversitair Centrum Antwerpen (RUCA). A considerable variety of physical and chemical techniques (both experimental and theoretical) are indispensable for the investigation of existing materials and for the development of new materials. Among the techniques used at IMS are: • diffraction of electrons, neutrons and xrays, electron- and ion microscopy; • Mass spectrometry
