The Hyatt on Capital Square is a 22 story 400 room luxury hotel in downtown Columbus directly across from the historic State Capital Building which was completed in 1861 in Greek Revival architecture style. It is the eighth oldest working Statehouse in the nation. Abraham Lincoln’s body was laid in state in the rotunda of the Capital in 1865 on the way home to Illinois. The Capital has recently been restored to its original grandeur at a cost of $112 million.
The hotel is adjacent to the Ohio Theater and the Columbus City Center, a three story upscale mall with three major department stores and 121 specialty shops. The Hyatt on Capital Square has an award-winning restaurant, two bar lounges, and the 6,000 square foot Governor’s Ballroom. Facilities include a Penthouse Fitness Center with exercise and workout equipment, a sauna, and whirlpool.
Port Columbus International Airport is fifteen minutes away and is served by most major airlines. Within blocks of the hotel are major corporate offices, the Columbus Museum of Art, and the Center of Science and Technology. The hotel provides complimentary downtown shuttle service. Weather in Columbus in October is generally pleasant with temperatures ranging from 45 to 65 F, but bring a raincoat just in case.
Registration and housing forms, and other information on the Columbus meeting will be included in the July Bulletin.
Authors wishing to present a paper in Columbus should submit an abstract by May 12, 1997. The preferred medium for submitting the abstract is through the World Wide Web using the SOR abstract submission page. Otherwise abstracts submitted via e-mail or on the abstract form should be sent to the Technical Program chair, R. L. Powell, with a copy to the appropriate symposium chair.

Prospective presenters are encouraged to use the Web-based submission procedure exclusively. Papers should be submitted by September 5, 1997 to:
| Lewis E. Wedgewood Chemical Engineering Department, BF-10 University of Washington Seattle, WA 98195 (206) 543-2271; Fax: (206) 543-3778 e-mail: wedgewood@chevax.cheme.washington.edu |
The Nominating Committee is soliciting nominations for all elected positions within the Society, but particularly for the member-at-large positions. Recommendations should be sent before March 15, 1997 to any committee member. Suggestions may be faxed to Bob Mendelson, the committee chair, at (281) 834-1793.
The Rheology Bulletin publishes papers on the applied aspects of Rheology which are intended for the non-specialist. (Archival research papers should be sent to the Journal of Rheology which is also published by the Society of Rheology.) Appropriate topics include the application of rheological principles to a specific system, instrumentation for rheological measurements, description of interesting rheological phenomena, and the use of well-established rheological techniques to characterize products, processes or phenomena. Papers that describe the historical aspects of the practice of rheology and how these may have influenced current trends are welcome. Also welcome are papers that address the present and changing status of rheological education including papers that describe recent or current innovation in the classroom or laboratory. Consultation with the Editor prior to manuscript submission is encouraged.
Papers should ordinarily not exceed about 4000 words in length. SI units should be used, but any standard style of writing may be employed. The article must have a clear message, and the significance of the work must be explicitly stated. Submit two copies of the manuscript at least three months prior to the issue in which publication is desired. The initial decision about suitability of publication will be made by the Editor. Both solicited and contributed papers may be sent to two or more reviewers. If the paper has been published previously in essentially the same form, permission for reprinting must have been obtained from the copyright holder.
The Society of Rheology is again offering grants to support the cost of public transportation to the annual meeting of The Society to any second or third year graduate student who is a member of the Society as of July 1, 1997, and whose faculty advisor is also a member as of that date. Each grant will be a maximum of $350, available on a first-come, first-served basis, until available funds are exhausted. To apply, the student should write a letter requesting the grant. The student's faculty advisor should add a letter of support, certifying that both the advisor and the student are members of The Society of Rheology, and that the student is a second or third year graduate student. Only one application per faculty advisor will be accepted. The letters from the student and the advisor should be mailed in the same envelope before July 1, 1997 to:
