Smith, Ill, Symposium Executive Officer The 33rd National Organic Chemistry Symposium of the American Chemical Society will be held June 13-17, 1993 at the Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana. The purpose of the Symposium is to demonstrate the vitality and diversity of the field of organic chemistry through presentations of outstanding research at the forefront of the discipline. The program features the Roger Adams Award Address by E.J. Corey and lectures by ten other speakers. Also there will be two sessions for contributed posters. A book of Abstracts of the talks and the posters will be given to all registrants at the meeting. (This Abstract book may be obtained afterwards by sending $1 5.00 plus a self-addressed 10" x 13" envelope to William R. Roush, Secretary-Treasurer, ACS Division of Organic Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405.) Meals and air-conditioned dormitory rooms will be available on the campus at a reasonable cost. On Wednesday evening, there will be an outdoor Bar-B-Que followed by the College National Rodeo Championships.Special tours and various cultural, athletic and outdoor activities will be available during the afternoons. Pre-registration is required. Prior to May 15, the registration fees are: $1 45 for members of the ACS Organic Division, $155 for other ACS members, $170 for non-members of the ACS, $50 for postdoctoral fellows, $25for students, and $25for guests accompanying a registrant. After May 15, each of the preceding registration fees will be increased by $20.The one-day registration fee is $60.
