The article presents summaries of papers delivered at the 125th annual meeting of the American Statistical Association. The meeting took place on September 1965 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In the paper "On the Construction of Stochastic Working Life Tables," by Haskel Benishay, stochastic working life tables are constructed and evaluated. The essence of the construction of stochastic rather than the traditionally deterministic working life tables is in the utilization of the realistic assumptions that the number of births, the number of entries into the labor force, the duration of life, and the duration of working life, are random variables. The end result is a working life table with a double entry in each cell rather than the single traditional one. The implications of this approach for the evaluation of fluctuations in various subcomponents of the labor force are evaluated. Another paper "Measuring Elasticities of Air Travel," by Samuel L. Brown, summarizes research on the response of demand for air travel to differences of fares, incomes, and elapsed travel time. There are three kinds of studies. Multiple regression studies of time series of air traffic, fares and income in the national domestic market yield short-period fare elasticities and income-elasticities. A quarterly first-difference model stands well the usual statistical tests.

This article presents abstracts of papers presented at the twelfth annual meeting of the Society for Psychophysiological Research, which was held at the Hotel Sheraton-Plaza in Boston, Massachusetts on November 9-12, 1972. The paper presented by J.C. Jackson and F.K. Graham of the University of Wisconsin cites threshold intensity effects on two orienting response components. Sokolovian theory suggests that the orienting response should be large near psychophysical threshold, fall to a minimum around 10-20 decibels and then rise again until it is depressed by competition with the defense reflex.

This article presents abstracts of papers presented to the 11th annual meeting of the Association for the Psychophysiological Study of Sleep. "Effects of Centrally Administered Carbachol on Sleep in Cats," was presented by Peter J. Morgane, Warren C. Stern and Joseph D. Bronzino. In order to delineate chemo-specific neurobehavioral systems in the brain concerned with sleep rates, exploring chemitrode devices were implanted in cats wired for recording the usual sleep indicators. It is also possible that cholinergic synapses exist in the noradrenergic or serotonergic pathways and that these systems are activated by cholinergic stimulation, thus resulting in changes in the sleep states.

The article reports on the fourth symposium of the Association for Computing Machinery, on Operating Systems Principles. For the symposium, over 60 papers were submitted to the program committee in response to a call for papers. From this set, 21 papers were selected for presentation in five formal sessions. Two sessions on the first day of the symposium contained papers describing principles relevant to operating system design and measurement, as well as papers describing complete operating systems. An important focal point of the symposium was the topic of computer security and protection. The banquet speaker, professor Maurice Wilkes of Cambridge University, also emphasized protection. The need to understand the technical aspects of security is particularly urgent in view of the current national attention being given to the social implications of computerized data banks and the rights of citizens. The symposium was co-hosted by the Computer Science Department of Yale University and the Computer Sciences Department of IBM Research Center.

The article focuses on the report of the fourth international symposium on the theory of traffic flow, that was held in Karlsruhe, Germany, in June, 1968. The symposium was attended by 154 participants from all over the world. Here, authors present brief comment on each paper discussed in the symposium. The paper entitled "A Study of Driver-Aided Car Following," by R. E. Fenton and W. B. Montano described recent experiments with a car controlled by a control, stick with a finger presenting a built-in kinesthetic tactile aid to the driver. The paper entitled "On Some Theoretical Traffic Problems" by J. Gustavsson, dealt with two topics, the asymptotic average speed of a vehicle on a long journey, and numerical examples illustrating the author's model for overtaking on a two-lane road. "An Analysis of Delays to Vehicle Platoons at Traffic Signals," by R.E. Allops examined the problem of the delay to a traffic platoon at an unsaturated traffic signal, the theoretical result being expressed in terms of the arrival pattern and duration of the platoon and the arrival time of the leading vehicle.

This article presents an overview on the fourth consultation of the European Colloquium on the Sociology of Religion at William Temple College, Rugby, England from April 17-21, 1963. Twenty six people from a dozen countries, including the U.S. and Finland, met for the conference. Canon R. S. O. Stevens of Birmingham, who acted as secretary to the Colloquium, opened the conference, welcoming the visitors and introducing Miss M. Batten, Principal of the College, whose paper Religious Life in Britain in the Post-War Period, proved a fitting beginning, discussing as it did the basis for sociological investigation in the sphere of religion. The following morning, with the Reverend Michael Jackson in the chair, Doctor John Kent, a church historian from Manchester, gave a paper, Sociological Factors in Disunity. His analysis of the history of divisions within the Protestant churches in England was of considerable interest, and his suggestions as to the causes of the present movement towards Anglicanism on the part of Methodists in Britain, were illuminating. Plans for the future were discussed at length, Professor Goldschmidt giving the report for the steering committee. Brief reports on work in progress then followed.

The section presents abstracts of papers about sociology of religion delivered at conferences and meetings held in August and September 1962. The paper, The Sociology of Religion as Part of a Generalized Sociology of Creative Behavior, A Conceptual Outline by Franz Adler, describes series of role concepts. The true author and the official author stand in a relationship which, based on cooperation, may vary widely in character. Performers who stand between authors and publics may be mediators. They may also be teachers, preachers, executives and pure performers. Another role is that of the critic. A critic with the power of suppressing a work is censor. Finally there is the consumer toward whom production of works is finally directed. It is suggested that the number of people involved in the process of creation and performance is inversely related to the likelihood of innovation. The study, The Professionalization of the Calling: Functional Implications by Robert P. Rankin, analyzes the character of this anxiety as it is expressed in interviews with ministers and laymen in the California-Nevada Annual Conference of the Methodist Church, an administrative unit comprising over three hundred local churches. Data employed in the study, Lay Expectations of the Ministerial Role: An Exploration of Protestant-Catholic Differentials by W. Widick Schroeder, were drawn from a sample of Protestant ad Catholic laymen in two Corn Belt communities, one dominantly Catholic and one dominantly Protestant. Data on questions dealing with qualities or characteristics and conduct expected of a minister are examined.

This article reports on the International Federation for Information Processing's (IFIP) 74 Congress held from August 5 to 10, 1974 in Stockholm, Sweden. It is of course an understatement to term the IFIP Congress 74--or indeed any of its predecessors--merely a "meeting." Conferences in the United States may have more attendees, and/or more sessions, but the flavor imparted by the international character of these triennial events sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing makes them unique. The congress had 88 sessions, in which were scheduled 41 invited papers and 174 contributed papers, the latter selected from among more than 600 submitted. There were also 18 panel sessions on the program, and a fair number of additional informally organized discussions were held. The Congress was distinguished by considerably more interest in the social problems connected with computers than was evident in its predecessors. Its setting in Sweden was particularly appropriate for this.

The article presents information on the 1970 Fall Joint Computer Conference that will be held in Houston, Texas, on November 17-19. The conference will have a truly Texas-sized setting, the Astrohall, the world's largest convention and exhibit structure. The technical program may also appear to be Texas-sized in view of its size and diversity. However, it is not so much the program that has grown as the computer industry. The program has therefore been expanded to reflect new developments in computer usage and technology while maintaining its emphasis on various subjects of continuing importance. One of the chief areas of interest is computer software, its present problems and future promises. Two sessions will be devoted on it. Session 21, chaired by M.A. Melkanoff, University of California at Los Angeles, is devoted to the three principal and self-excluding approaches to long-range programming language development being advocated today. A distinguished panel will present a position paper on each of the three approaches and a fourth position paper on relevant research problems.

This article reports on the 8th International Conference of Religious Sociology in Barcelona, Spain, on July 2-4, 1965. The theme for the conference is Religion in the Transition From a Pre-Technical to an Industrial and Urban Society. Though the theme of this conference was explicitly defined, only three of the seven papers read to the assembly were directly concerned with the subject. Professor Kirk's contribution treating the role of religion in the evolution of the American South, can perhaps best be seen as a statement about the hindrances religion can put in the way of socioeconomic change, about religion as a conservative factor. Lord Simey reminded us of the professional obligations of the sociologist of religion, and though there was no direct relation to the main subject of the conference, it was important to have him ask this question, especially in this group of sociologists who are primarily working within a Church context. This became clear when Mr. Spencer decided to devote his presidential address to the subject of professional ethics of the sociologist of religion. As for the last speaker, Fr. Greeley, we were only too glad to have the president of the American Catholic Sociological Society with us and thus to see emerge the possibility of a closer contact and cooperation with American confréres, to mind much that his paper dealing with social successes of American Catholic Education, was in no way related to the conference theme.
