The article presents news items related to "American Sociological Association (ASA)." A conference to discuss cross-national research on community decision-making was held in Milan, Italy, from July 1 to July 3, 1969, organized by the Scuola di Formasione in Sociologia in Milan and the Committee for Comparability in Community Research of the International Sociological Association. The British Sociological Association has instituted a non voting category of overseas associate membership, the chief benefit of which is the receipt of the Association's journal, "Sociology." The Science Information Exchange of the Smithsonian Institute has recently adopted a nominal charge system for its services. At the same time, services which were previously reserved for federal agencies are now being made available to all users of SIE. "Social Science Research Council" will administer several programs in the coming year. Research Training Fellowships will be offered only for supplementary training that is outside the scope of the usual doctoral program in one's major discipline. These fellowships are tenable at a pre or post doctoral stage and preference will be given to innovative proposals by candidates who have demonstrated unusual aptitude for research.
