INCE Update The Boards of Directors of International INCE and INCE/USA welcome the opportunity afforded by this departmentof NNI to bring readers up to date on the activities of the two organizations. Published here are reports onactions takenand planned by the two Boards, activities ofcommittees, summaries ofdiscussions anddecisionsof general interest, etc. Announcements and reports of the major conferences of I-INCE and INCE/USA will be found in otherNNI departments. It is the intentof this department to keep the reader informed of what's going on within the twoorganizations thatjointlyshare the responsibility for the publication of Noise/News International. INeE/USA INTER-NOISE 99 Student Paper Prize Competition. INCEIUSA is pleased to announce a Student Paper Prize Competition for INTER-NOISE 99, The 1999 International Congress and Exposition on Noise Control Engineering, to be held in Fort Lauderdale, Floridaon 1999December6-8. As many as five prizes will be awarded, each with a valueof approximately 1300 USD. Winners will receive 1000 USD in cash, a complimentary registration for INTER-NOISE99 valued at approximately 300 USD, and ten reprints of the prize-winning paper which will be published in the Proceedings of INTER-NOISE 99. The cash awardswill be as follows : 500 USD in advanceof INTER-NOISE99 and500 USD at a INTER-NOISE 99 awards ceremony. Ifthe paper is expanded and, after peer review, publishedinNoise Control Engineering Journal, thestudentwillreceivean additional500 USD award.The competitionis open to students in American colleges and universities. The manuscript mustdeal with some aspectof noisecontrol. (See the INCE Classification of Subjects.) The paper should deal with a practical aspect of noise control; it does not have to relateto thesisresearch. Practical results should be stressed.Literature reviews are not encouraged. Each manuscriptsubmitted must represent original work by the author(s) who is (are) registered as student(s) at a U.S. university or college. The name of the U.S. university or college mustappearon the manuscript.A faculty advisor may serveas a co-author if appropriate;the nameof a faculty memberwillnormallybelistedas thelastco-author. Allauthorsmustbe students (or the faculty advisors of the students if appropriate). Prize money (if any) will be divided equally among the student co-authors. Winners of previous INCEIUSA Student Paper Prize Competitionsare not eligible. The originality of each manuscript must be certified by the signatureof a facultymemberat theU.S.university orcollegeat which the student(s) is (are) registered. If a faculty member is listed as a co-author, he or she must certify that the student(s) madethe majorcontributiontothe workreportedin thepaper. All student authors must be Associates or Members of INCEIUSA. The faculty membercertifying to the originality of a submitted paper must be an Associate or Member of INCEIUSA. (Note: If the author(s) or faculty membersare not Associates or Members of INCE/USA, application(s) and check(s) for such status must accompany the manuscript submission. Students are eligible for a discounted rate of 20 USD per year. The manuscriptmustbe six pagesin lengthand mustbe suitable for publication in the Proceedings of INTER-NOISE 99 without retyping. Instructionsfor authors will be supplied. An abstractof the manuscriptmustbe submittedby the regular deadline for receipt of abstracts, 1999 May 04. The author should indicatethat the manuscriptto be submitted is to be consideredin the competition. Manuscripts, accompanied by a Competition Entry Form, must be received no later than 1999 August 03 which is one week before the regular paper deadline. If the student(s) and faculty member are not Associates or Members of INCEIUSA, application forms and checks payable to INCEIUSA must be receivedby 1999August 03. All decisions of the judges appointed by the President of INCEIUSA are final. The Institute reserves the right to make fewer than five awards or no awards at all. Judges will evaluatethe papers by considering: i. The difficultyof the problemaddressedand the practical value of the work performed to noise control engineering. ii. The technical quality of the investigation. iii. The quality of the technical communication. To be complete, an entry in the INTER-NOISE99 Student Paper Prize Competition must include the following: i. A six-page manuscript, ii. A CompetitionEntry Form, iii. A Copyright Release Form, iv. INCEIUSA Associate Application Forms for authors and faculty members who are not Associates,Affiliates, or Members of INCEIUSA, v. Checkspayable to INCEIUSA for at least one year's fee for Item iv above if applicable. All of the abovemust be received by 1999 August 03 at the following address: Student Paper Prize Competition c/o George C. Maling, Jr., Managing Director Instituteof Noise Control Engineering P.O.

InternationallNCE The Technical Programme Manager of the Standards Department of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, has informed the management ofInternational INCE that Category A liaison has been establi shed between Sub-committee I (Noise) of ISO Technical Committee 43 (Acoustics) and International INeE. The secretariat ofISOrrC 43/SC I is held by Danish Standards and managed by Leif Nielsen. According to the Directives of the International Organization for Standardization, a Category A liaison between a technical committee or sub-committee and other international or broadly based regional organizations working or interested in similar or related field s means that the liaison must work in both directions, and that the organization (International INCE in this case) must make an effective contribution to the work of the technical committee or subcommittee. William W. Lang , president of International INCE said that "this new liaison will be valuable for both organizations, and will provide the ISO with a new mean s of informing societies and individuals around the world of standards activities related to noise and its control." Robert O. Fehr 1911-1998 Robert O. Fehr, an initial member ofthe Institute of Noise Control Engineering, passed away on 1998 July 07. He was a Board Certified memberofINCE through 1994. He was educated at the Swiss Federal Institute ofTechnology in ZUrich, Switzerland - receiving a Dipl.Ing. in 1935 and a Dr.sc.tech. in 1941. Until 1961, he was with the General Electric Company Research and Development Center in Schenectady, New York, USA where he served as manager ofthe vibration and acoustics section and manager of the mechanical engineering laboratory. He was the initiator of noise seminars at the laboratory. He taught noise control at Cornell University from 1961 to 1964. He was a vice president of Branson Instruments, Inc., and a consulting engineer at Fehr and Fiske beginning in 1967 where he served as president. He served a number of governmental organizations, including a NASA Committee on Aircraft Noise, the Department of Defense , and the Federal Aviation Admini stration. He also served on the Committee on Hearing and Bioacou stics of the National Research Council. He was also active in international standards, particularly the International Electrotechnical Commission. From 1969 until 1991, he was the editor of the Journal a/the Audio Engineering Society; a period of great growth in both the membership of the Society and JAES. He was also a member ofthe American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Sir James Lighthill 1924-1998 Sir James Lighthill, best known to acousticians as the researcher who first understood how turbulence can be a source of sound and who derived the 8th power relationship between sound generation by turbulence and Mach number, passed away on 1998 July 17 while attempting to complete a swim around a Channel Island. Sir James was on vacation with his family on the Isle ofSark, a small island between Jersey and Guernsey in the English Channel. He was attempting, at age 74, to swim around the entire island (nine miles). In 1973, he used his knowledge of tluid dynamics to find the best route aro und the island in the face of strong tides, and is believed to be the first person to complete the swim. He is said to have remarked that the swim was "a most pleasant way to see the scenery." It is also believed that he made the swim on at least six other occasions. Sir James Lighthill had an outstanding career during which he contributed to a very wide variety ofmathematical problems in tluid mechanics, including supersonic and hypersonic flow, ocean waves, waves in the atmosphere, astrophysics, and other related subjects. He was associated with many well-known institutions in the United Kingdom, including Cambridge University, the National Physical Laboratory, the Royal Aircraft Establishment, and Imperial College, London. He was knighted in 1971 and held 24 honorary doctorates. 1998 December NoiselNews International 229
