 1. SHORT NEWS
 -------------

  Errata: The editor of Issue 6, Vol. 1 of the Hellenic Astronomical
 Society's Newsletter "Hipparchos", would like to correct:
 a)  the "ASTRONOMY 2000+ External Advisor Committee" Table, which
 appeared in page 1, by including the name of Chryssa Kouveliotou (NASA,
 Marshall Space Flight Center, USA). Dr. Kouveliotou's name was 
 inadvertently ommitted, due to a typing error.
 b) the name of the Treasurer of the Society, which appeared as "Niarhos"
 twice in the article on page 3, instead of "Niarchos" as it is known to
 all of us.

  The deadline for submissions of abstracts for the 4th Astronomical
 Conference of Hel.A.S. in Samos is the 31st of May 1999. Please
 consider sending your contributions on time.
