Win money by suggesting ways to save it If you have an idea that could save the university money, that same idea could earn you some money. Duke received a $1,000 award in a cost reduction incentive program sponsored earlier this year, by the National Association of College and Business Officers and the U.S. Steel Foundation. The university is using a portion of this award to foster other cost reduction ideas through a campus-wide incentive awards program. Ten awards will be made in this competition. Each will be a $100 U.S. Savings Bond. The awards will be announced May 1, 1979. The competition is open to all Duke personnel serving in positions at levels 15 and below. Professional personnel in unclassified positions are not eligible. A cost-saving idea may be submitted by two persons who will share the award if the idea is selected as one of the 10 winners. Ideas should be submitted in writing no later than April 1, 1979, to the Office of the Vice President for Business and Finance, second floor, Allen Building. Each submission should contain a brief description of the cost reduction idea, a list of those persons consulted about the feasibility of installing the idea and September M T » T march ^ J, I* »9 7 8 j '4 IS 16 estimates of the implementation cost and annual financial savings which might result from the idea. Judges will consider cost savings rather than cost avoidance plans. Any idea submitted must have been reviewed by departments which might be impacted. Results should be measurable. Decisions of the judging committee, which will consist of university personnel who are not eligible to participate, will be final. All ideas submitted will become the property of the university. The idea that brought Duke the $1,000 award in the national competition was submitted by Campus Services Department and was based on cost savings realized through the establishment of a copy center and the restructuring of. the university's copy machine rental program.

Med center people keep on running Medical center marathoners continue to have a good season. Third-year medical student Scott Eden won the third annual Marine Corps Marathon which took place earlier this month in Washington. Eden finished the race in 2 hours, 18 minutes and 8 seconds. His nearest pursuer was three-quarters of a mile behind him at the time and finished 3:47 later. A field of 5,988 runners began the marathon. Eden was near the front throughout the race, and took the lead about halfway through the course, as a fast pace caused challengers to fall back. Eden earned his undergraduate degree from Duke in 1975 and worked one year as a technician in the forestry lab before entering the medical school. His time in the Washington marathon was 2:20 faster than his previous career best, a 2:20:28 effort that won the Greensboro Marathon in the fall of 1977.
