By action of the lloard of Regents in their meeting No. 697 held March 16, 1972 $ 175,000, previously reccived from the Tcxas Student Publications Board toward construction of the Communication Building, was transferred from the allolment account for this project to the Board of Operating Trustees for T.S.P. It was further provided that on August 31, 1972, a11 unencumbered funds were to be transferred back to the construction account for the School of Communication Building. As at August 31, 1972, $ 10,648.08 cash was transferrcd to the Building Allotment Account from T.S.P. In order that we may order the necessary furniture and equipment as originally budgeted for this buildi-ng, $ 164,351.92 is needed to replace the funds transferred last March. It is, therefore, recommended that $ 164,351.92 be transferred from the proceeds of combined fee revenue bonds to the Communication Building Allotment Account. North Texas Regi-onal Computer Center - Transfer of Appropriated Funds 2. In the total funds appropriated for the North Texas Regional Computer Cen-er Construction Project No. 303-183, transfer $ 3,200 from the project allotment account to increase the appropriation for Furniture and Furnishings from $ 9,800 to $ 13,000 in order to provide adequate furnishings for this installation. U. T. Dallas - Transfer of Appropriated Funds (Berkner and Phase I1 Projects) 3. At the time of award of the construction contract to O'Rourlce Construction Company for the Berkner Building (West Annex) at U. T. Dallas, the design of the buildings of Phase I1 was underway. The interface of the utilities distribution system could not be determined until Phase I1 design was substantially complete. A portion of the Phase 11 utilities system was then in conflict with the Berkner Building construction. To avoid tearing out some work under the Berkner Building contract and replacing it under the Phase I1 contract (Hensel Phelps Construction Company), it was determined to be the most feasible and economical solution to place a small portion of the utilities system (that in area adjacent to the Berkner Building) in the Berkner Building contract and remove the same portion of the work from the Phase I1 contract. Construction progress was such that the work adjustment had to be undertaken, and it has been so directed. A change order to the construction contract with O'Rourke Construction Company is required. At the time the Board (meeting of Junc 9, 1972) approved award of the Phase I1 contract and appropriated funds, a portion of the Phase I1 project budget for future work (tunnel addition), in the amount of $ 102,000.00, was established, to include the work described above. The cost oi this work is $ 32,926.00, this sum to be transferred between accounts. It i.s recommended that a transfer of funds be made from the all.otment account for the Phase I1 project to the Herkner Building construction contract as follows: From: Projcct No. 302-151 - The University of Texas at Dallas - New 13uilding and Utility Distribution - Phase I1 - Allotment Account To: ProjccL- No. 302-150 - Thc Univcl-sity of Texas at .DalI.as - Ll.oyd V.

It contains some of the officially invited addresses presented before the Society, reviews of advanced mathematical books, and has a department of research announcements. Invited addresses offered for publication should be sent to HANS F. WEINBERGER, Dept. of Mathematics, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455. Book reviews should be sent to PAUL R. HALMOS, Dept. of Mathematics, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47401. Research announcements are limited to 100 typed lines of 65 characters each. They are intended to communicate outstanding results that are to be reported in full elsewhere. Research announcements should be sent directly to a member of the Council of the American Mathematical Society who is also a member of an editorial committee of the Society. The names of these Council members are on the inside back cover. All other correspondence about research announcements should be sent to JOHN L. KELLEY, Dept. of Mathematics, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720.

  • Topology Proceedings C and C ∗ AMONG INTERMEDIATE RINGS 1
    Submitted to Topology Proceedings C AND C∗ AMONG INTERMEDIATE RINGS JOSHUA SACK AND SALEEM WATSON Abstract. Given a completely regular Hausdorff space X, an in- termediate ring A(X) is a ring of real valued continuous functions between C∗(X) and C(X). We discuss two correspondences be- tween ideals in A(X) and z-filters on X, both reviewing old results and introducing new results. One correspondence, ZA, extends the well-known correspondence between ideals in C∗(X) and z- filters on X. The other, ZA, extends the natural correspondence between ideals in C(X) and z-filters on X. This paper highlights how these correspondences help clarify what properties of C∗(X) and C(X) are shared by all intermediate rings and what properties of C∗(X) and C(X) characterize those rings among intermediate rings. Using these correspondences, we introduce new classes of ideals and filters for each intermediate ring that extend the notion of z-ideals and z-filters for C(X), and with ZA, a new class of filters for each intermediate ring A(X) that extends the notion of e-filter for C∗(X). 1. Introduction Let X be a completely regular topological space, C(X) the ring of all continuous real-valued functions on X, and C∗(X) the ring of bounded continuous real-valued functions on X. A ring A(X) of continuous func- tions on X is called an intermediate ring if C∗(X) ⊆ A(X) ⊆ C(X) : 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 54C40; Secondary 46E325. Key words and phrases.

RINGS OF CONTINUOUS FUNCTIONS IN WHICH EVERY FINITELY GENERATED IDEAL IS PRINCIPAL(l) BY LEONARD GILLMAN AND MELVIN HENRIKSEN An abstract ring in which all finitely generated ideals are principal will be called an F-ring. Let C(X) denote the ring of all continuous real-valued func­ tions defined on a completely regular (Hausdorff) space X. This paper is devoted to an investigation of those spaces X for which C(X) is an F-ring. In any such study, one of the problems that arises naturally is to deter­ mine the algebraic properties and implications that result from the fact that the given ring is a ring of functions. Investigation of this problem leads directly to two others: to determine how specified algebraic conditions on the ring are reflected in topological properties of the space, and, conversely, how specified topological conditions on the space are reflected in algebraic prop­ erties of the ring.

    34 | MAA FOCUS | August/September 2009 Former MAA President Leonard Gillman Dies (1917–2009) ormer MAA President Leonard Gillman (born January 8, F1917) died April 7, 2009 at his home in Austin, Texas. He was elected Treasurer of the MAA in 1973 and held that office until he was elected President. He served as President-Elect in 1986, as President in 1987–1988, and as Past President in 1989. All told, he served on the Board of Governors for 23 years, from 1973 to 1995. As Treasurer, he was known for his meticu- lous care of the MAA’s finances and investments and for his innovative presentations of the Treasurer’s Reports. Near the end of his term, he became an advocate for conducting MAA’s national elections by “approval voting.” This was adopted by the Board of Governors, though too late to affect Len who was the last President elected under the old rules. As MAA President, Len was a strong supporter of the new Committee on Minority Participation. He served on this com- mittee for several years, beginning with its inception in 1989. Also, as President, Len was approached by Dr. Charles Y. Hu, a geographer, and his wife Yueh-Gin Gung, a librarian, who wanted to provide long-lasting support of mathematics but didn’t know how. He steered them to the MAA’s Award for Distinguished Service to Mathematics, which they then en- dowed in perpetuity. It is now known as The Gung Hu Award for Distinguished Service to Mathematics. It was rather fitting In 1942, Gillman received a B.S.

Both the Monthly and the MAA began with strong Midwestern and Missouri influences, something which our section can look back on with well-deserved pride.

Staff meetings were usually held at least twice a month and lasted on the average about one hour. As always, search for new staff is a major item dealt with in these meetings. Another major item of business in practically every staff meeting is an overall view of the department activities. Some of the results of these discussions are mentioned below. TOP COLLOQUIA AND FACULTY SEMINARS The department had 34 colloquia. Seminars in Algebra, Number Theory and Topology were conducted during the academic year. The third annual Holiday Symposium in Mathematics was held during the week of December 27 through December 31. Lectures on "The Index of Elliptic Operators" were given by Professor I. M.
