MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY DRAWS NATIONAL FIGURES TO CAMPUS
A
ctor/producer Ossie Davis, best-selling author Wallace Terry and leading femalephysician Edith Irby Jones will be among the speakers and panelists who will lead the campus in a day-long celebration of the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. In step with the first official national holiday to honor the assasinated black leader, a
committee has planned three special events Jan. 20, including a dinner at the Madame Walker Urban Life Center, sponsored by the IUPUI Black Student Union.
The events have been planned by the Forum on Campus Interrelations (FOCI) whose chairman is Dr. Lincoln V. Lewis, director of Affirmative Action at IUPUI. Beginning at 11:15 a.m. in the School of Physical Education gym, he will welcome city and state officials that include Indianapolis Mayor William Hudnut, III and The Rev. Hallie Crombaugh, director of community affairs for WISH-TV. At noon, Ossie Davis, well-known actor, producer and director in motion pictures and television, will give the keynote address.
Events will move to Rice Auditorium in the State Board of Health at the west edge of campus for a three-hour forum entitled: "Health Care for Minorities: A Dream at Risk."
Focus will be on the findings in the Heckler Report made last October by former Secretary of Health and Human Services Margaret Heckler. Presentations and discussion will be from 2-5 p.m. Presenting their views on the Heckler report will be Woodrow A. Myers, M.D., commissioner, Indiana State Board of Health, and Edith Irby Jones, M.D., pr~sident, National Medical Association. A panel of prominent local physicians will respond to the presentaions from perspectives that include teenage pregnancy, infant mortality, use of health care services by minorities, delivery of health care to minorities and health equity. Vice President Glenn W. Irwin, Jr., M.D.; Edwin T. Harper, associate professor of biochemistry, and other campus staff and personnel will participate.
Students, faculty, staff and the public are welcome to attend part or all of the sess1ons. There is no charge and no registration.
Beginning at 6 p.m. in the Walker Center, Saundra Holiday, president of the IUPUI Black Student Union, will preside over the evening session that includes awards ceremonies and dinner. Dinner speaker will be Wallace Terry, author of "Bloods," a best-selling book on the experiences of black veterans in Viet Nam. Dinner tickets are $15 and space is
limited. For reservations and information, call the BSU, Ext. 2279.
LOTS OF ALUMNI LIVE IN HOOSIERLAND
More than two-thirds of the 56,061 people who earned degrees on this campus for whom we have addresses live in Indiana. That's a nice figure to tell taxpayers and legislators when it comes to justifying investments in higher education. For that and other reasons
it's the chore of Alumni Affairs, Charles M. Coffey director, to keep track of all the graduates who apparently think the grass is greener right here ••••

KLEINHANS' CLUES FOR THE COMET CURIOUS
If you'd really like to see that "dirty snowball" that is Halley's Comet, you should do so before February, take an amateur astronomer to dinner, douse the lights, head for the country and otherwise be prepared not to see a whole lot. Our resident comet "expert"
Fritz W. Kleinhans, amateur astronomer and associate professor of physics, School of Science, takes a serious, but lighthearted approach to comet watching. His suggestion about taking an astronomer to dinner doesn't necessarily mean him, but with an
experienced stargazer, you're more likely to find the comet. You're going to need a lot of total darkness, which even the glowing end of a cigarette can wreck, if you plan to see the elusive return. You won't need a state of the art telescope, but rather
binoculars. However, if you'd just like to have a good telescope, wait 'til the comet is out of sight--there's going to be a glut of good telescopes bought by comet-only buyers, Fritz says. Not to dim your view of the celebrated sizzler, Fritz gets a little
pedestrian with the reminder that it's made up of gas, ice, dust and gravel. If you'd like to talk with him about the comet, do it before spring break in mid-March. That's the best time for Halley Comet Watching and one of the best spots to see it is the Florida Keys •••• -SAR
THE HOSPITALS HAVE A JOB FOR YOU
Lots of people volunteer for all kinds of good works in our hospitals, but lots more are needed. If you have some time to love little patients whose parents live away, to
deliver flowers and mail, to help get people in and out of our hospitals, to console weary relatives in surgery waiting rooms, then there's a job for you. In fact, there are too many jobs to mention here, but they need done days and evenings, every day of the year. If you can give yourself away for awhile, call the Volunteer Services Department, Ext. 8682. You will have an interview, a free health screening and some instruction on our hospitals and how to be a good volunteer.
PROF. JEGEH'S TAX TIPS: THERE'S STILL TIME FOR HR 10 (IRA, ET AL.)
In order to provide yourself, your employees or your spouse with federal and state income tax deductions, there is still time to establish a qualified retirement plan--a corporate plan, an HR-10, a simple pension, an IRA or SIRA. The earnings on the contributions (and on the earnings) under each plan are exempt from income tax. That's now, and for the future, if one of these plans is started soon enough, you can have (in 35 or 40 years) over $1 million dollars in the funds. For example, if a person begins contributing
$2,000 to an IRA at age 25 and continues contributing $2,000 annually, and if the funds are invested at 10%, the amount at age 65 will be approximately $974,000 at the end of 40 years. Even with an investment of only 8%, the fund will total approximately $560,000.
Spouses who have earned income can establish separate IRA plans and at the end of 40 years, invested at 10%, their total will be approximately $1,950,000. Obviously, the larger contribution limits which exist under HR 10 and corporate retirement plans yill allow accumulations of even larger funds. Also, proposed amendments to the federitl
income tax law will allow even a spouse who does not have any earned income to contribute up to $2,000 annually to an IRA. Currently, there are some income tax advantages when the contributions and the e~rnings are withdrawn from the fund, either as a lump sum distribution or as an annuity, at retirement or death of the individual's fund. And, if the person for whom the fund is established dies before distribution, then some of the fund may be exempt for Indiana inheritance tax purposes. As a general rule, each of these plans allow ample choices regarding the form of the fund investments--savings accounts, bonds, other securities, life insurance policies--and also ample control over your fund. In fact, you can be the trustee of your own HR 10 plans. Also, remember the new rule: Contributions to IRAs must be made on or before the due date of the applicable income tax return (without including extensions of time for filing the income tax return) which for most people is on or before April 15. (Lawrence A Jegen, III, is the Thomas F. Sheehan Professor of Tax Law and Policy.)

20/20 CREW 'TURNELS' ITS WAY ON CAMPUS
A producer and film crew from ABC's newsmagazine 20/20 came to campus last week to interview a School of Medicine faculty member about strokes and a controversial procedure to prevent them. Dr. Mark L. Dyken, professor and chairman of neurology--and chairman of the American Heart Association's Stroke Council--was interviewed by ABC producer Roger Sergel about treatment of potential stroke victims and the use of carotid endarterectomy, the surgical removal of blockage from the main arteries to the head and neck. Though more than 100,000 of these procedures are done yearly in the nation, many critics in the medical community believe that may be too many. While here, the crew "tunneled" its way from one hospital and department to another, and interviewed a patient, talked with other faculty members and filmed related diagnostic procedures in University Hospital's
neuroradiology area and Regenstrief Health Care Center's Surgery Clinic. The film and interviews will be part of a feature tentatively to be aired Jan. 30 on 20/20.

Attention Clinical Bldg. Folks A visitor to the general waiting area in the
