Thanks to you, it's working I MAKES VOUCMONEV GO FURTHER// At press time this week, the university- wide United Way campaign had passed the first quarter mark toward its goal, but an exact figure was not available because the money was coming in faster than it could be counted, according to chairf>erson Janet Sanfihppo. The university goal is $97,500, including the medical center's goal of $48,000. Co-chairing this year's medical center drive are R.C. (Bucky) Waters, assistant to the vice president for health affairs, and William O. (John) Robinette, assistant administrative director of the hospital. Sanfilippio also announced that the Durham County United Way kick-off luncheon will be Monday, Sept. 25, at 1 p.m. in the Durham Civic Center. Any interested citizen may attend, but should call 688-2316 in advance. The cost of the luncheon will be $3.50 per person. "The county-wide United Way hopes to raise $1 million for the first time this year," Sanfilippo said. She noted that the Duke community usually contributes about 10 percent of the total raised in Durham County. Luther Hodges Jr., who recently was appointed a professor in the Graduate School of Business Administration, will be the featured speaker at the kick-off luncheon.

After earning a B.S. degree at San Generations to mingle poetically The voices of experience and youthful enthusiasm will mingle this fall in a poetry class that may be unique. Nine members of the university's Institute for Learning in Retirement will meet weekly with a group of students from Carolina Friends High School to discuss 20th century American poetry. Leah Lefstein, associate director for the institute, and James Curley, headmaster at the school, see the class as offering an unusual opportunity for communication between generations. The institute Intercom is pubiiihed weekly by the Office of Public Relations, Duke University Medical Center, Box 3354, Durham, N.C. 27710. Joe Sigler Director John Becton Editor Primary contributors; William Erwin, Comprehensive Cancer Center medical writer; Ina Fried, staff writer; Parker Herring, public relations assistant; Edith Roberts, staff writer; David Williamson, medical writer. Circulation; Ann Alston members range in age from 55 to the upper 60's, the students from 14 to 17. "The subject is almost tailor-made for such communication," Curley said, "because the issues that, will be touched upon in the classes are ones that in many cases have been lived through and experienced by the members of the institute. "Students don't often have an opportunity to be on this kind of level with older people." Lefstein said the classes would be conducted according to the Socratic dialogue technique, a method of discovering new knowledge through analytical and interpretative questioning. "The class is intended," she said, "to provide participants with an invigorating mental workout and a forum in which to strengthen their p>owers of logical argument and self-expression while building a bridge across the generation gap." Among the poets who will be discussed are Carl Sandburg, Robert Frost, T. S. Eliot, Gwendolyn Brooks, Kenneth Patchen and Leroi Jones. The class will meet alternately at the Friends School and in the Bivins Building on East Campus. Walter and Regina Adams of Chapel Hill are coordinating the class for the institute.
