All those wishing to present papers or a poster at the 1998 APCG Meeting in Flagstaff, Arizona, October 14-17, must submit an abstract of 100-200 words by June 1, 1998.  The header of the abstract must contain the name(s), affiliation(s), address(es) e-mail address(es) -- if available -- and paper/poster title, followed by a space, and then the body of the abstract.  Abstract text should be a descriptive summary of the paper/poster's content, including topic, significance, methods, findings and conclusions.  Please include four key words at the end of the abstract.  Participants MUST submit one hard copy of the abstract AND a disk copy.  MS WORD for Windows or Word Perfect for Windows (or DOS) are acceptable formats.  Please do not take a chance sending an e-mail attachment since the person in charge of abstracts, Tina Kennedy, doesn't know how to retrieve attachments.

If a paper or poster is authored by a student, the notation "STUDENT PAPER" must follow the text and key words of the abstract.  Every effort will be made to schedule all student papers on Friday so that those submitted for awards may be judged before the ceremonies at the Annual Banquet.  [Traditionally, there have been three $100 awards offered.  In addition, NAU and ASU's GTU have agreed to offer an award for the best GTU student presentation.  If you are a member of GTU please put that information after the key words of the abstract.]

Members wishing to organize special sessions are encouraged to do so.  Please arrange to have all abstracts for each session participant sent directly to the organizer so that the entire package reaches the Program Committee before the June 1 deadline.

If you are willing to serve as a session chair, please let us know; you might also specify a preference as to the type of session you would prefer.  Forward all abstracts and related materials to:
