SPORTS MEDICINE INSTITUTE OPENS

R

eflecting the needs and growth of athletics and sports-related agencies in Indianapolis, the newly created International Institute of Sports

Science and Medicine has begun operation at the Indiana University Medical Center under the direction of Dr. Merrill A. Ritter, professor of orthopedic surgery.

Located on Clinical Drive as an administrative and academic unit of the I.U.

School of Medicine, the Institute has a comprehensive mission, including the support and development of education, research and service programs in the field of sports science. According to Associate Director Marjorie Jean Albohm, the Institute has already made several grants to individuals doing research in this area. The Institute also has become active in the area of education. A model program was initiated at Ben Davis High School this fall.

Through the Institute, Albohm and Ritter hope to develop a system that can be used by high schools all over the country. "Our work at Ben Davis could mean a lot to high school athletes all over and we're excited about the way its' pro- gressing," says Albohm, who is also a lecturer at the I.U. School of Medicine.

The Institute is working closely with the United States Olympic Committee to assist in its drug testing programs. Plans to bring internationally known sports science experts to Indianapolis are in progress. Several projects that include a series of Sports Science Seminars, a research fellowship in sports medicine, an independent study program with area colleges and universities and an Inter- national Conference on Sports Science, are projected. The Institute will con- tinue to develop these projects with the goals of establishing an academic degree in sports science and/or sports medicine at I.U. and a faculty athletic trainer program for coaches throughout the state. A program of stress testing and fit- ness analysis/prescription for athletes at all levels will be developed. The Institute is working with the American College of Sports Medicine, the U.S.

Fitness Academy and the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness.

This award is the highest tribute the Foundation pays to one of its volunteers.

"Dr. Kleit, the father of the goals of the National Kidney Foundation, is truly an outstanding volunteer," said E. Burns McLindon, chairman of the Foundation, who presented the award Dec. 3 during the organization's 33rd Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.

The task force interviewed nearly 70 persons at IUPUI, plus others at I.U.-Bloomington and Purdue-West Lafayette to prepare the report which was published this month. Neil E. Lantz, Administrative Affairs, is chairman of the task force. Other members are

Patricia A. Boaz, Science; David Bostwick, Engineering and Technology; Barbara A. Fischler, University Libraries; Richard A. Fredland, Political Science;
