At the 3rd meeting of the PAC for Particle Physics, the Chairman of the Committee P.Spillantini (Italy) will speak; with information on the decisions of the 77th session of the JINR Scientific Council, the meeting of the CP, the Finance Committee, on international cooperation of the Institute for High Energy Physics, on the status of the particle physics programme - Vice-Director A.Sissakian. N.Dzhiokaris (USA) will give a report on the discovery of the top quark.

The participants of the meeting will discuss the main areas of LHTA activities in support of particle physics research carried out at JINR for the period 1996-1998 and will be provided with information about the Dubna-Net project. The meeting will also consider JINR's participation in experiments at the LHC (ATLAS, CMS, ALICE projects) and the proposal of a new project on LHC accelerator topics. The issue of research on the physics of sources of multiply charged ions for CERN hadron colliders is brought up for discussion at the meeting.

FLNP hosts the traditional International Seminar dedicated to the problems of Neutron Nuclear Physics. Its topics cover a significant area of Nuclear Physics related to reactions caused by neutrons, the properties of the neutron itself, fundamental symmetries and interactions. Physicists from many JINR Member States, as well as Germany, the USA and Japan take part in the Seminar.

At the seminar of the Department of Condensed Matter Physics of FLNP K.I.Andronik (Institute of Applied Physics of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova) will give a report "Epitaxial films and structures of narrow-gap semiconductors AV". This seminar is held within the framework of the Protocol on Cooperation between JINR and the Academy of Sciences of Moldova that was adopted with the aim of facilitating further cooperation and its development between the Institute and this Member State.

Enrollment for the 10th grade of the gymnasium has been announced at school No.8 in the following areas: physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, foreign language. The gymnasium has been functioning for the 3rd year, 35 students have graduated with excellent success: 12 medalists, 4 of them gold. High school students have more than once participated in various competitions of the Rotary International club and their winners Anna Kozenkova, Alfiya Sadykova and Elena Gavrilova study in high schools in La Crosse.

This autumn, having won the competitive selection, Anna Yurieva and Irina Shirokova are leaving to study in the USA; Natalya Leontieva was invited to England for three months to improve her knowledge of the English language at one of the universities. Students of the physics and mathematics class Alexey Bogdanov, Evgeny Cheremukhin and Andrey Zorin have successfully passed the exams in physics and mathematics, they can be congratulated on their early admission to the Physics Department of Moscow State University. This academic year, talented students are graduating from the gymnasium and the administration hopes for equally talented recruits.

1995 is an anniversary year for the Dubna choral studio that sums up its 30 years of creative activity both in our city and beyond. The tour of the Dubna girls' concert choir across German cities was successful. Active preparations are underway for the anniversary concert, at which G.Krylova's youth choir (school No.5) and I.Kachkalova's "Credo" chamber choir will perform. The concert will end with a performance by the alumni choir headed by Olga Ionova.
