TALK ON CHEMISTRY'S 'PUBLIC IMAGE' SCHEDULED AT SLU

CANTON - Attila Pavlath, past-president of the American Chemical 
Society, will give a talk entitled "The Public Image of Chemistry" 
on Thursday, September 19, at 7:30 p.m. in Room 205-206 of 
Valentine Hall at St. Lawrence University. Sponsored by the 
Northern New York Section of the American Chemical Society and 
the University's chemistry department, the event is open to the
