6uko uniucRS'tty mc6ic\l ccnteR -6 Learn What You Earn Soon after becoming an employee of Duke University, you probably attended the orientation class given by the Personnel Office. At this session you were given your Personnel Handbook, vhlch you were encouraged to read. Now do yourself a favor and pull that book from its hiding place and let's go over it again. Why don t we start with Social Security, which of course isn t listed in the Benefits Program. However, since we are required by law to contribute toward our eventual re tirement, it seems a good place to begin. You moan when you look at the deduction from your pay check; now consider your employer, Duke University. The University matches your contribution to Social Security to the tune of $1,146,638.29 per year—accord ing to recent figures. Hospitalization? Sure, you pay part of it, but the University pays $251,122.53 annually. Group life insurance may cost you another few dollars each month; the University's share in a year amounts to $93,000.00. Our career employees under the "Non-Academic Retirement Fund", unique because the University bears the total expense, costs another $24,904.55 to the University's yearly expenditure on behalf of you—the employee—which brings the total outlay for these items alone, above and beyond salar ies, to $1,787,754.98. So the next time you count your deductions, be sure to count your blessings, tool FIRST MEDICAL GRADS-CLASS OF ’32 Hanging up their stethoscopes and reserving a few days in their appointment books for themselves, 200 alumni assembled for Duke's third annual Medical Alum ni Weekend.

PARKING TIP At lunchtime the other day, I walked over to the park ing area behind the tennis courts and found only four cars there. I'm a slow walker, but timed the walk back to Baker House. For those who are spending 15- 30 minutes looking for a spot, I suggest you try there. It takes 10 minutes to walk to the hospital and you've saved up to 20 minutes of aggrevation. For any who have lived in New York City, you know that nobody drives to work; many have a 10-15 minute walk to and from the subway every day, rain or snow. So, "you guys" living in the country have it greatl...E.R.S. 2.1 ,To N.C 751 Key: 1. Duke Chapel, 7. Davison Entrance, 8. Duke Hosp ital, 12. Allen Bldg., 19. Crowell Quad, 20.
