for abstracts for contributed papers is June 15.) For the first time an equipment show will be included. More than 70 manufacturers are expected to display the latest in analytical and processing equipment during the show, which has been organized by the American Institute of Physics. During the Boston meeting, we will also institute a formal job placement service. In the past, job opportunities have been posted on a bulletin board during the meeting, but this is the first time a formal service has been offered. This service should be of significant benefit to student members, regular members, and corporate affiliates. Finally, a greatly expanded list of short courses will be offered. Subject content has been chosen to complement the technical program and to provide participants with an introduction to other technologies of current interest. With an expanded technical program and the additional meeting activities, the 1984 Annual Meeting promises to be the best that the MRS has "WOODY" WHITE ever held. To accommodate the expanded technical program and the additional activities that are planned for the Annual Meeting, we have extended the session to five days and have changed the meeting hotel. The 1984 meeting will be held in the Boston Marriott Hotel/Copley Place. This hotel has the finest facilities available in the Boston area for our meeting. The added meeting day will help to reduce the inevitable conflicts that arise due to parallel sessions and should permit attendees to participate more actively in a larger number of symposia. Administrative Consolidation The phenomenal growth in the membership of the Society and our ever increasing number of activities have placed an enormous burden on our new Headquarters Office and staff", but they have responded with dedication and enthusiasm to this challenge. All Society literature is being produced through the Headquarters Office, all Society activities are being coordinated through that office, and all Society records are being maintained there. The centralized Headquarters Office has been brought up to speed in a [Continued on Page 12]
MRS-EUROPE [Continued from Page I] Topics to be discussed in this symposium include radiation effects on insulators (modification of optical, mechanical, chemical properties and electrical conductivity); film adhesion on insulators and interface modification effects; hydrogen as a defect in glasses (effect on physical properties); electronic energy deposition and damage in glasses and polymers; defect analysis techniques in insulators; nuclear waste management; optoelectronics; chemical element sensors, and plasma erosion of insulating surface coatings. Invited speakers include G. Foti (Italy), D.L. Griscom (U.S.A.), L. Laycock (U.K.), K. Rossler (Germany), B. Scherzer (Germany), and J.P. Thomas (France). Plenary Sessions Several sessions of general interest are planned. Tentative titles are: "Materials Aspects of Nuclear Waste Management," "Characterization of Materials by Synchrotron Radiation," "Composite Materials: Present Status
