CORNELL CHEMISTRY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S COLUMN Here is the special issue of the Newsletter in which we report on where the respondents to our 1982 questionnaires live and what they do. Future information of this kind will be reported in a column in regular issues of the Newsletter, You will note that there are two alphabetical lists. We won't bother you with the dull story of why our word proces- sor refused to merge the two lists. Be assured, it was the machine's fault, not ours! THE NEWSLETTER A very moving Memorial Service was held for Michell Joseph Sienko in Sage Chapel on Campus on 18 December 1984. The OF THE Reverend Jack Lewis conducted the service. Ben Widom, David DEPARTMENT OF Johnson and Robert Plane spoke in tribute. The readings CHEMISTRY were chosen by Mike's daughter, Tanya. Musical selections by Corelli, Bach and Chopin were played by Mike's colleagues AND THE SOCIETY OF and students.

Bright Wilson, "Extraction of Barriers to Internal Motion and Other Information About Reaction Paths from Spectroscopic Data, with Malonaldehyde as an Example"; Mark Kac, "Is There a Quantum Langevin Equation?"; Paul J. Flory, "Recent Investigations on the Configurations of Chain Molecules"; Manfred Eigen, "Experiments on Biogenesis". The banquet speaker will be Hans Bethe. Winter 1984 Issue 32 If you plan to attend the Symposium, please let me know promptly. The price for each ticket to the banquet is $25.00. We are reserving seats in the order in which checks, made out to "Cornell University", are received. Alumni and friends of the Department will have a get- together at the April 1984 American Chemical Society meeting in St. Louis. It'll take place in the late afternoon of Wednesday, 11 April, at the ACS Alumni Hour. Roald Hoffmann will be at the Alumni Hour to greet you and bring you up-to-date on happenings in the Department.
