20 RESEARCHERS TO COVER PLAGUES OF THE PAST

(( p

lagues--How People Responded to Them in the Past" is the topic of a two-day public conference sponsored by the Humanities Institute at IUPUI, Oct. 26-27. While medical problems will be covered, the emphasis of the conference will be to reflect on how communities responded to castastrophies, how bonding developed, what errors were made and what steps can be taken to make sure they do not happen again, said Frances Dodson Rhome, director of the Institute. A guest speaker, the movie "Panic in the Streets" and eight workshops involving 20 researchers in various disciplines from music to medicine are scheduled. Ann G. Carmichael, associate professor of history and philosophy of science at I.U. Bloomington, will open the conference Thursday at 4 p.m. at the Indiana Medical History Museum on the grounds of Central State Hospital with the lecture, "The Last

Plague: Collective Memories in the History of Epidemics." A reception follows at 5 p.m.

On Friday the conference moves to the Union Building with workshops from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

and the movie at 5:30 p.m. in the Roof Lounge. Cost is $2 for students, $10 for others.

Call 4-2447. --J. Grim

READING ROOM HISTORICAL DISPLAY PUTS FACES ON THE NAMES

Before Cavanaugh Hall there was Robert E. Cavanaugh; before there was good elastic thread and the merger of I.U. and Purdue 20 years ago there was the 10-man Purdue Extension basketball team of 1950 who stood proudly for a photo in their satiny shorts and high-top black shoes and charmingly saggy white socks. Long before the "union," there was Herron School of Art where in 1912 students could attend all year for $65, and even back then child artists were welcomed and only charged 25 cents a week for lessons. This and much more history is captured in black and white in a nicely done exhibit "Before the Merger:

The Origins of IUPUI, 1866-1969," yours to enjoy in the Reading Room, University Place Conference Center. If you have questions about the exhibit, call Eric Pumroy in Special Collections and Archives, 4-0464.

IUPUI EMPLOYEES HAVE ALREADY PLEDGED 21 PERCENT OF $200,000 CAMPUS GOAL

•

Paper work is coming in steadily to the 130 volunteer campus solicitors and United Way campus campaign leaders feel confident that record numbers of

~~~® pledges will be in by Oct. 26 when the campaign ends. Leslie Moore, United

~ Way liaison officer for IUPUI, reports that 21 percent of the $200,000 goal is in now, with lots more expected. Employees with interests in international arenas are reminded that on the donor option card they can earmark their pledge for ISA, the International Service Agencies, which contribute to such relief agencies as CARE, Project HOPE and and OXFAM. Chancellor Gerald L. Bepko continues to hope that 52 percent of the people on campus will pledge to the United Way, which will give the University a new record in helping its neighbors.

HANDY NEW HANDBOOK CAN HELP HANDLE ANY EMERGENCY ON CAMPUS -- FREE FOR THE ASKING For the first time, IUPUI has an "Emergency Procedures Handbook." The easy-to-read handbook gives exact procedures that can save lives and property in the event of fire, chemical spills, medical emergencies, gas leaks, bomb threats, tornadoes and other catastrophies. A plentiful supply of the handbooks is available through Lowell Black's office in Fire Protection Services, 4-1384.

Rue the Day--Some of you may remember that about a year ago in the Green Sheet, there was no small discussion about the correct spelling of 1-a-r-u-e, as in the hospital on

campus. A year can be a long time and once again, 1-a-r-u-e "capped and lower-cased"

itself into last week's issue. An unnamed source who appears to be an authority on the subject, says 1-a-r-u-e is one word with no capital "R," so the hospital is called Larue Carter Hospital. The other "reader checks" in recent issues include: Agnes Benton who is administrative secretary, not assistant, and the play is "Wiz," not "Whiz," as in gee.

UCLA, OHIO STATE, STANFORD ADOPT IUPUI-GENERATED TEXTBOOK

A collaborative effort by 12 professors on campus has resulted in a new textbook, "Human Physiology," which already has been adopted by Ohio State University, Stanford University,

Louisiana State University and the University of North

Carolina. Two of the authors, Rodney A. Rhoades, chairman and professor of physiology and biophysics, School of Medicine, Rhoades Pflanzer and Richard G. Pflanzer, associate professor of physiology, School of Science, and associate professor of physiology and biophysics, co-edited the text published by Saunders College Publishing. The 32-chapter, four-section book goes from the cell to integrated organ function to the total body and deals with basic control mechanisms at a molecular level. The large measure of "midnight oil" burned in producing

"Human Physiology" was worth it, said Rhoades, who believes that this first-time match-up of editors between the School of Science and the School of Medicine offers undergraduates exactly what they need in the study of human physiology. The other editors: From the School of Medicine, Janice C. Froehlich, Joe R. Haeberle, Stephen A. Kempson, Leon K.

Here are the IUPUI Campus United Way Volunteers!!

Gregg Bowles, IUPUI Police. He is an example of volunteer service as a solicitor in the Police Department and as a Big Brother to a 9-year-old young man. The two attend dinners, sports events, movies and go fishing at least once a week. Gregg works with the boy's mother to help form a good life for a youngster. The appreciation he receives from his

"little brother" is a great reward per- sonally--he hopes the campus continues to support the Big Broth- ers organization through United Way.

Bruce Turner, Computing Services.

As a long time scouter with the Crossroads of America Council, Bruce has helped at least six sons of IUPUI faculty and staff through their Eagle Courts of Honor, in addition to scores of other youngsters in the community. Bruce's wife is a volun- teer also with the Girls Scouts and says that scouting has helped them fulfill their parent roles. Bruce attended the National Boy Scout Jamboree this summer, giving up two weeks of vacation along with six other IUPUI staff members who endured rains and enjoyed fun with the boys in Virginia.

Jeff Vessely, School of Physical Education. A volunteer for years with the Atkins Boys Club, he has seen how the volunteer agencies help build the lives of young people. He is especially proud of his colleagues in the School of Physical Education who responded last year with 100%

contributions. "I know my contribu- tion does some good," he says.

Rebecca Davis, Opthalmology De- partment. She is a volunteer solicitor for the fifth year for United Way. She says United Way touches almost every family and that if people really understood that real help is given to real people, they would contribute even more enthusiastically to United Way. She has had cousins who have been helped by a United Way agency and says the program is dear to her heart.

Joe Robinson, School of Medicine Library. Preparing to be a solicitor in his unit, he toured Goodwill Indus- tries just west of of the campus prior to this year's campaign and came away impressed with the lives that are being helped by that United Way agency. He feels that "everyone should contribute," even if it's just a little.
