Abstract
- This article presents news briefs related to happenings at the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). George Glaser, ACM treasurer, has reported to the Association's council at its November 1969 meeting that the financial position had improved by approximately $42,000 during the period June 30-September 30, 1969. The improvement was credited in considerable measure to Headquarters spending at less than budgeted amounts, although this involved limitations in operational capacity and resulting services. The late 1969 improved cash picture resulted in large part from the early payments of January membership renewals. Further, Gerard Salton, editor-in-chief of the "Journal of the ACM," has announced the impending retirement of four long-term editors of the journal whose terms of office expired on December 31, 1969: Professor Samuel D. Conte, who since 1964 has been an editor for numerical mathematics; Professor Robert M. Hayes, since 1960 the area editor for information retrieval; Professor E. J. McCluskey, since 1964 the area editor for switching theory and logical design; and Professor Anthony Ralston, the area editor for mathematics of computation since 1965.
