Inexperience no drawback
The fall schedule of free courses
offered by the Computation Center
starts with an introduction which
assumes no computer background. So
anyone interested in learning a little
about computers should not be held back
by inexperience.
The courses are open to all members of
the Duke community. This includes
students, faculty, staff, bi-weekly
employees and members of non-profit
organizations and institutions affiliated
with Duke, such as the VA Hospital.
Family members of any of the above also
are eligible.
Classes meet from 4-5 p.m., Monday,
Wednesday and Friday. To register or
obtain more information, call 684-4146 or
684-3183. Any course will be cancelled if
fewer than five people register for it.
The complete schedule is as follows:

A VIEW FROM THE CENTRAL CORE — The surveyor in the photo on page 1 is visible here in the
center of the picture, standing on the middle square. These giant squares will form the skylight
over the main lobby, and the walkway beneath them will lead to conference rooms in the main
canopy, out of sight at the top of the picture. The photo was taken from the circular core which
will contain the elevators in Duke Hospital North.
I took a course. That's how come!
Professional news
Dr. Andrew Wallace, director of the Duke
University Preventive Approach to Cardiology
(DUPAC) program, spoke on "Fitness Training
for Adults" at an international seminar at the
Life Planning Center in Tokyo last weekend.
DUPAC and its "Planned Vigor" running
program draws participants as heavily from
the community as from Duke, and Wallace
used it as a model of how an academic health
center can dedicate personnel and facilities to
community-wide benefit (See Intercom,
8/18/78.)

The Tokyo meeting has another Duke and
Durham link. The chairman of the Life
Planning Center Foundation, who directed the
conference, is Dr. Shigeaki Hinohara whose
father was a student at Trinity College near
the turn of the century and returned to Japan
to become a prominent Methodist minister in
Tokyo.
Over the years, Hinohara and Dr. William
G. Anlyan, vice president for health affairs,
have maintained this relationship by exchange
visiting lectureships of Duke faculty in the
health sciences and their Japanese
counterparts.
Wallace, who is chief of cardiology, will be a
visiting professor at four Japanese medical
schools over the next two weeks. Back in
Tokyo on Sept. 14, he will address the World
Congress of Cardiology on the role of
computers in management decisions related to
chronic illnesses.
