Campaigne to head Committee on Copyrights Prof. Ε. Ε. Campaigne of Indiana University has been named chairman of the Society's new joint Board-Coun­

cil Committee on Copyrights. ACS President Wallace R. Brode and Board Chairman Milton Harris also appointed the fol­lowing members of the committee: Albert L. Batik

Campaigne 0f Malvern, Pa.; Dr. Edmund H. Immergut of Gordon and Breach, New York City; Dr. Charles G. Overberger of the Univer­sity of Michigan; Ben H. Weil of Esso Research & Engineering Co., Linden, N.J.; and Dr. Fred R. Whaley of Boca Raton, Fla. Joseph H. Kuney, director of business operations, ACS publica­tions, is responsible for ACS staff liai­son.

The committee, which has scheduled its first meeting for Sept. 9 during the ACS national meeting in New York, will study how best to develop an ACS policy on copyright matters. It was established on recommendation of the joint Board-Council Committees on Chemistry and Public Affairs and on Patent Matters and Related Legisla­tion. The Board of Directors initiated action to create the new committee at its meeting last December and the Council voted on April 15 to concur with the Board.

ACS is interested in copyright legis­lation from two viewpoints: that of a scientific and educational organiza­tion dedicated to the dissemination of chemical information, and that of the publisher of a score of journals and magazines. When copyright law re­form came under serious consideration in Congress in 1967, an ACS ad hoc committee made up mostly of staff members was set up to keep track of the resulting legislation and try to make sure that the Society's views were made known. Since the copy­right situation seems likely to require continuing attention from now on, the Committee on Chemistry and Public Affairs recommended that a joint Board-Council Committee on Copy­rights be established. The Committee on Patent Matters and Related Legis­lation concurred with the recom­mendation.

Clinical chemistry registry adopts grandfather clause Highly experienced clinical chemistry practitioners who may lack the re­quired academic training now have 16 months to be considered for accredi­tation by the National Registry of Clinical Chemistry.

The registiy, which is sponsored by ACS and four other leading chemical organizations, has adopted a grand­father clause primarily to benefit chem­ists and others in clinical laboratories who previously could not meet the for­mal course requirements. In partic­ular, the registry's board of directors found that some very experienced can­didates for accreditation had not ac­quired a minimum of 32 semester hours of appropriate college-level studies in chemistry.

The new standard, which will expire Dec. 31, 1970, will permit applicants otherwise eligible for accreditation as clinical chemists to be admitted to an examination provided they conform to these requirements:

• They must have acquired by Dec. 31, 1968, six or more years of accept­able experience in clinical chemistry subsequent to receipt of a bachelor's degree from an acceptable institution.

• They must have completed at least 16 semester hours of appropriate col­lege-level studies in chemistry.

• The number of years of experience in excess of six when added to the number of semester hours in chemistry must total at least 32.

Information about the registry's ac­creditation program and the new

grandfather clause can be obtained from the registry offices in the ACS headquarters building.

Reservations available for chemistry business course Additional reservations are available for the prototype course on the busi­ness aspects of chemistry to be offered Wednesday morning, Sept. 10, in the Beekman Room of the New York Hil­ton. The no-charge program, spon­sored by the Committee on Profes­sional Relations, is an experiment in continuing education for broadening the professional horizons of the chem­ist. It offers five lectures covering a broad spectrum of chemical industry topics (C&EN, July 21, page 48) . A limited number of luncheon tickets ($7.50) are also available on a first come, first served basis. Write the Office of Professional Relations to en­roll or to make inquiries.
