\centerline{\biggerbf Conference on Lattices and Universal
Algebra\rm}
\medskip
\centerline{Szeged, Hungary (August 3--7, 1998)}
\bigskip
\centerline{\bigrm FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT}
\bigskip
Dear Colleagues,
\bigskip
We cordially invite you to the nineteenth algebraic
conference held in Szeged.
The conference will start on August 3 (Monday) morning,
and
will conclude on August 7 (Friday) early afternoon.
The participants are expected to arrive on August 2.

\medskip{\bf The scientific program}
will consist of ten 50-minute plenary
lectures on current research in lattice theory
and universal algebra, a number of 
20-minute contributed talks in
parallel sections, and a problem section.
The following professors have already accepted our
invitation to give a plenary lecture:
B.\ Davey (Bundoora, Australia),
C.\ Herrmann (Darmstadt, Germany),
E.\ W.\ Kiss (Budapest, Hungary),
V.\ Gorbunov (Novosibirsk, Russia),
G.\ Gr\"atzer (Winnipeg, Canada),
M.\ Valeriote (Hamilton, Canada),
F.\ Wehrung (Caen, France) and
R.\ Willard (Waterloo, Canada).
We expect about 90 participants.

\medskip{\bf Registration form.}
If you are interested in our conference,
please fill in and return the
enclosed registration form by May 15, preferably
via e-mail. (Before e-mailing, please follow
the instruction given in the first ten 
lines of the file.)

\medskip{\bf Abstracts.}
Participants who intend to give a
talk are kindly asked to send an abstract by May 31.
The abstract should include the author's name and
affiliation below the title.
The length of the abstract should not
exceed one page. The page size should be 21.5 cm 
$\times$ 28 cm (8.5'' $\times $ 11'') with 2.5 cm
(1'') margins on all four sides.
We accept abstracts sent by e-mail if 
written in Plain \TeX. In case of other variants of
\TeX\ the dvi file is also requested. When figures occur
or
the document was not written in \TeX, we will hopefully
be able to handle postscript files. When you submit your
abstract via e-mail, please send the file separately from
other correspondence. We also accept camera-ready
typed or printed abstracts.
Abstracts received by deadline May 31 will be
collected in a booklet. Copies of the booklet will be 
distributed among participants upon arrival.

\medskip{\bf Proceedings.} Algebra Universalis will dedicate 
a separate issue for the best papers in connection with the 
conference lectures. The papers will 
be refereed according to Algebra Universalis standards. 
Papers can be submitted during the conference. 
The deadline of the submission is September 30. 

\medskip{\bf Social events.}
A banquet will be held on Monday evening.
The problem
session will be combined with a small
comfortable excursion. All
registered participants and accompanying persons are
entitled to participate in the banquet and the excursion.

\medskip{\bf Registration.} For participants the
registration fee
is  US \$ 50 before May 15 and US \$ 70 thereafter.
For accompanying persons the registration fee is US \$
30. Children under 6 pay no fee. 

\medskip{\bf Accommodation.} Reservations are handled by
the
Travel Agency "Congress \& Hobby Service", cf.\ the
Registration and Order Form for details.
(Your Registration and Order Form will be passed to
this agency.) You can book a room
by indicating your choice on this form and sending
a \underbar{\it deposit} 
of US \$ 20, US \$ 40  or US \$ 100, as indicated. 
Reservations without deposits
will not be accepted.

\medskip{\bf Payment.} The registration fee and
ho(s)tel deposit are to be paid\par\noindent
by money order/certified cheque made payable to

\centerline{\bf
J\'ozsef Attila University (LatticeConf/Cz\'edli)}

\noindent or by a bank transfer to

\vbox{
{\leftskip=4cm
\item{name of bank:} {\bf Postabank 
\'es Takar\'ekp\'enzt\'ar
Rt.}

\item{address of bank:} {\bf Szeged, Hungary-6720}

\item{account no.:} 
{\bf JATE: 026--716342--USD--941--000}

\item{to:} {\bf LatticeConf/Czedli}.

}
}

\leftskip=0cm

\noindent The name(s) of sender(s) and
LatticeConf/Czedli 
should not be omitted! In exceptional
cases the registration
fee might be paid upon arrival. But then personal 
cheques will not be accepted and 
change will be available only in
Hungarian forints. If you cancel your participation
before June 30, the whole amount minus bank costs will
be refunded. There is no refund if 
you cancel it after July 1.

\medskip{\bf Travel information.}
The conference will take place in the building of the
Bolyai Institute, downtown in Szeged.
Szeged is in the southeastern part of Hungary, approx.
200 kilometers from Budapest.
The train connection between Szeged and Budapest is
good. Trains leave approximately in every two hours
in daylight. Up-to-date travel information will be
given in the second announcement. Note that in order to
catch the last train to Szeged,
you should exit from Budapest Airport by 6 p.m.\ or so,
provided you arrive in Hungary by plane.

\medskip{\bf Deadlines.} The Registration and Order Form
and the ho(s)tel deposits have to be here by {\bf May
15}. {\bf May 15} is also the deadline for the
registration fee. Abstracts should arrive by {\bf May 31}.
Refund is possible only in case of cancellation not later
than {\bf June 30}.  Papers can be submitted 
by {\bf September 30}.

\medskip{\bf Miscellaneous.} There will be no organized
meals. There are restaurants nearby where a lunch or
dinner costs about US \$ 3 -- 7. A lunch in the
university  restaurant is about US \$ 2.
 We are applying for some
local funds. Depending on the success of our
applications, financial
support --- ranging from reducing the registration fee
to 
a contribution to living or travel costs --- might be
provided {\it upon request\/} for some participants.
It depends on the participant's citizenship
whether he/she needs a visa. A visa can be obtained at any
Hungarian Embassy or Consulate.
The second announcement of the conference
containing detailed travel information will be sent by
July 15. We are indebted to Algebra 
Universalis for the mailing list
that we have built into ours.
