The article presents biographies and statements of candidates for the position of president of the Association of Computing Machinery Council. Being a doctorate in mathematics, Stephen R. Bourne, of Menlo Park, California-based El Dorado Ventures, is well known for his work on the UNIX operating system. Steve is a member of the ACM, IEE, and Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society. In this article, he states some elements that ACM need to focus are most effective forums for communication between members, new partnerships with other professional organizations to improve effectiveness in policy making forums etc. Another candidate, A. Joseph Turner, professor in Department of Computer Science at Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina, received the Outstanding Contribution to ACM Award in 1996 for contributions to computing education. Turner states that it would be a great time to be involved in a progressive organization of computer professionals.

Computer entrepreneur A. Nathaniel Goldhaber has been named president and chief executive of Kaleida, the Apple/IBM joint venture. Goldhaber, 44, recently served as president of a venture capital firm specializing in high technology. He was also the founder of the computer networking firm Tops, which was acquired by Sun Microsystems five years ago. Kaleida will develop multimedia systems combining data, audio and video. Offices are temporarily set up in Apple's Cupertino HQ until a San Francisco base can be established.

The article presents information on the National Computer Conference in Anaheim, California from May 19-22, 1980. With the theme of "New Directions for a New Decade." the conference included more than 100 program sessions and 1600 exhibits, three days of professional development seminars, Personal Computing and Small Systems festivals, and a Science Film Theater. Keynote speaker David Packard, chairman of the board of Hewlett- Packard, addressed the conference. With regard to advanced technology, Packard maintained that it is available on reasonable terms from universities and research firms but a firmer commitment to research and development is needed. Since universities and colleges will continue to be the main supply of trained personnel, more attention should be paid to the support of colleges and students should be provided with useful curricula choices. Roger Allen of Computer Sciences Corporation chaired a session on "Early Experiences in Complying with Foreign Restrictions in Foreign Privacy Laws."
