On the cover
Have you arranged to attend the 2004 Sigma Pi Sigma Congress? This is the kick-off event for the World Year of Physics (WYP). The 2004 Sigma Pi Sigma Congress is planned for October 15-16 in Albuquerque, NM. The theme of the meeting is “Heritage & Promise,” with distinguished speakers such as Nobelist Carl Wieman; scientific presidential advisor John Marburger; pulsar co-discoverer Jocelyn Bell-Burnell; and Hydrogen author, John Rigden.

We have initiated a “One & One” campaign in which we are striving to have each Sigma Pi Sigma chapter represented by at least one undergraduate delegate and one alumni delegate to the Congress. If you would like to participate in the Congress, or support a student to participate, please let us know.
