                         Second Announcement


                               
  Dear Colleague:
  
     We are pleased to announce the seventh conference on Current Trends
  in Computational Chemistry. This symposium, organized by Jackson State
  University, will cover all areas of computational chemistry as well as
  quantum chemistry. The local host of the conference is the US Army Corps
  of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station (WES) in Vicksburg, Mississippi.
     The meeting will be held at the Holiday Inn of Vicksburg, Mississippi
  (40 miles west of Jackson) on November 6 and 7, 1998. The format consists
  of a series of plenary lectures and poster presentations on Friday and
  Saturday, covering applications as well as theory. In addition, a banquet
  is scheduled for Friday evening and a dinner and reception for Saturday
  evening.
     The 7th conference will also feature another talk given in the
  ancillary "Noble Lecture Series." This series was initiated during the
  6 CCTCC by a remarkable presentation by Istvan Hargittai entitled "The
  Molecules Among Us: Conversation with Famous Chemists." The lectures in
  this series are presented in a relaxed, after-dinner atmosphere by the
  noble speakers and are devoted to noble scientific events and people.
  As such, it is an exceptional lecture to the conference and contrary to
  the regular talks, might not necessarily report any Current findings.
  This year the talk will be delivered by Eiji Osawa who will speak on
  "Past and Future of the Fullerene Story."
     We are planning to publish extended abstracts (up to four pages each)
  of all invited talks and poster presentations. Original scientific
  contributions will be published in a special issue of the Journal of
  Molecular Structure (THEOCHEM). Manuscripts for inclusion in the special
  issue should be submitted in triplicate upon arrival at the registration
  desk. Submitted papers will be subject to the journal's standard referee
  procedures.
  
  
  Sincerely,
  Jerzy Leszczynski
  Chairman of the Organizing Committee
