Our House Open House~Part I I
UNIQUE QUILTS WARK AND ADORN RONALD MCDONALD SUPER SEQUEL
You are all invited to the opening and dedication, open house and tours of the world's largest Ronald McDonald House--on campus. The wonderful addition to Our House will afford even more places for families of little Riley
patients and for people recovering from organ
transplants. The opening celebrations at the Ronald McDonald House will be the only time before the first guests move in on Oct. 2 for the public to see the unique quilts that adorn the 20 new guest rooms. The donated quilts are handmade by quilters from all over
Indiana--some who have stayed at
Our House and whose children were at Riley. The $3.5 million expansion also includes six apartments, lounges, "play" rooms, dining areas, kitchens and laundries. Architecturally a close cousin to the first Our House, the addition sits behind the "old" house at the corner of Michigan and Lansing Streets, west on campus. The dedication and opening is Sept. 29 beginning at 10 a.m. Open house and tours are the same day from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sept. 30, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The proud people preparing the celebrations are Cathi Weiner, Lynda Fasick Neal, Marge and Roy Borgmann, Sue Nigh, Vivian Gill, Ann McNamar, Judy Monnier, Mary Ann Schaefer and Karen Campbell.
FACULTY ASKED TO JOIN IN THE SPIRIT OF ALCOHOL AWARENESS WEEK Student
Activities, whose alcohol awareness program last year was a national prize-winner, is asking that the entire campus join in this year by attending special sessions and by designing departmental programs that can enlighten staff, students and faculty about the use and abuse of alcohol. National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week is Oct.
16-20. To help you prepare, the IUPUI Alcohol Awareness Week committee offers some suggestions for lectures or programs: A biology/chemistry program on fermentation; a program or lectures on alcohol-related time loss and accidents for business; and for education, how to teach children about alcohol abuse; the history of prohibition in history and political science, and the use of steroids by athletes in physical education, and so on. For other ideas or more information, call Karen Marks,

CHAMPION CHAMPIONS WOMEN SAVING THEMSELVES FROM BREAST CANCER
Among the one in 10 women who will develop breast cancer sometime in her life, between 85 and 95 percent of them can survive if they will self-exam monthly and have regular
professional exams and mammograms. This discovery, as well as the reasons why women do not participate in their own good health and how they can be convinced to do so, are among the lifelong concerns of Victoria L. Champion, scientist and associate professor in the School of Nursing. Women themselves are the key. She said, "Ninety-five per cent of what happens to your health depends on you and what you are willing to do." Champion is
involved in research supported by a $650,000 grant from the Institutes of Health, which will canvass 600 women in central Indiana in order to find the most effective ways to convince them to do regular self breast exams. The study data will be collected by 1992. Devoting her career to the study of breast cancer, Champion's most recent discussion of the topic was at the Sept. 20 "Breast Cancer Teach-In" in Indianapolis sponsored by the American Cancer Society, the Indiana Regional Cancer Center and the I.U.
Medical Center. (Women are welcome to use the services of St. Margaret's Breast Center on campus for mammograms and instruction on self exam. Call 630-6266.)--M. Hopper.
