AACG held its triennial meeting ACCG-8 during July 1990 at Vail, Colorado, and elected the following officers to serve through the end of the next triennial meeting ACCG-9 anticipated for July 1993: President:

C. David Brandle AT&T Bell Laboratories, Room 7C403 600 Mountain Avenue Murray Hill, NJ 07974, USA (201) 582-6136 Fax: (201) 582-5917 Vice-President: Mike A. DiGuiseppe AT&T Bell Laboratories, Room 7C401 600 Mountain Avenue Murray Hill, NJ 07974, USA (201) 582-3944 Fax: (201) 582-6700 Treasurer: Thomas Kuech Department of Chemical Engineering University of Wisconsin Madison, Wisconsin 53707, USA Fax: (608) 262 5434. Secretary: Thomas Surek Solar Energy Research Institute 1617 Cole Boulevard Golden, CO 80401, USA (303) 231-1371 Fax~(303) 234-0588 The opening of an AACG National Headquarters office was also announced following approval of detailed plans by the Executive Commit0022-0248/91/$03.50 © 1991

tee at ACCG-8. Although the idea of having a centralized permanent headquarters was brought up numerous times in the past, the Executive Committee first voted approval to investigate the idea in depth at their midyear meeting in 1989, The AACG National Headquarters is envisaged as a center for coordination of all AACG organizations and activities, as well as public relations with the outside world, including individuals, universities and corporations, combining both national and international interactions. It represents, as in most professional associations, a unique central location for receiving and distributing information concerning AACG. Early in 1990. Dr A.L. (Tony~Gentile (recently retired from Hughes Research Laboratories and a past president of AACG) was invited by the Executive Committee to consider taking on the role of the first Executive Administrator of AACG. A cost analysis of the basic requirements for this operation was presented by Tony at the Executive Committee meeting held on Tuesday, 17 July 1990. The Committee agreed to pursue the plan and review its progress and problems at the periodic Executive Committee meetings. The headquarters office address will be: American Association for Crystal Growth A.L. Gentile, Executive Administrator P.O. Box 3233 Thousand Oaks, CA 91359, USA (805) 492-7047 Fax: (805) 492-4062 AACG has announced the selection of Dr. Alfred Y. Cho and Dr. Morton B. Panish as the recipients of its International Awards. In addition, Dr. Daniel Rytz has been selected as the recipient of the AACG Young Author Award. The awards were presented on July 19, 1990, at the 8th

American Conference on Crystal Growth in Vail, Colorado. The AACG International Award consists of a framed citation, an engraved gold plaque mounted on a ruby crystal and $1500. These awards are the most prestigious prizes given in the crystal growth and materials science communities. The International Award is presented every three years for sustained contributions. The recipients chosen must have done original theoretical or experimental work that has withstood the test of time and made scientific or technological impact. The Young Author Award is given to a scientist under 35 years of age who made innovative contributions to crystal growth in a US laboratory. Dr. Morton B. Panish, Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, New Jersey, was recognized for his research in the epitaxial growth of III V cornpound semiconductors. In particular, his contributions to liquid-phase epitaxy, phase equilibria and gas-source molecular beam epitaxy are noteworthy. Dr. Aldred Y. Cho, Director, Materials Processing Research Laboratory, also at AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, New Jersey, is cited for his pioneering research in the molecular beam epitaxial growth of III V compound materials. Especially significant is his work in surface science fundamentals leading to the practical realization of ultra-high vacuum growth systems.

Dr. Daniel Rytz, Senior Member of the Technical Staff at Hughes Research Laboratories, Malibu, California (presently at Sandoz Produkte in Basel, Switzerland) was honored for his work on crystal growth and characterization of ferroelectric oxides and high temperature superconducting cuprates which added to the fundamental understanding of these materials.

2. ICCG-1O and ISSCG-8 The AACG plans for these conference are now well in hand. A contract has been negotiated and signed with the Sheraton Harbor Island Hotel, San Diego, California for ICCG-10, August 16 21, 1992. Final negotiations for ISSCG-8 have yet to be completed but it is anticipated that the site will be Asilomar, near Monterey, CA, August 9 14, 1992.
