The article presents news related to the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). The new position of Director of Administration has been established at ACM Headquarters and Joseph Saetta has been hired to fill it. The position collects into one department the activities of three units which were previously in different department. They are--first, the unit which handles all membership, subscription, and single copy transactions; second, the unit which handles purchasing, the stock room, and incoming and outgoing mail; and third, the accounting unit. The Second ACM Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Manipulation will be held on March 23-25, 1971, at the International Hotel in Los Angeles, California. The Special Interest Group on Symbolic and Algebraic Manipulation is sponsoring the symposium, with the Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence as a co-sponsor. The symposium will cover developments in the field in the past five years. A number of sessions of contributed papers are scheduled, and approximately ten invited tutorial papers will survey key subject areas. The symposium will be of interest to users of both symbolic and manipulation systems as well as to system developers.
