ntcucom 6ukc univcusity mc6ic&.l ccnteR VOLUME 20, NUMBER 6 February 9, 1973 DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA New Intercom’ Coming 17 Researchers WeVe Outgrown Ourselves *^eceive Grants "This place has sure changed since I was here last." "When did that building go up?" "Every time I come back here there's something new." Those are typical of remarks we at the medical center hear every day from people who used to be here, or who visited here years or even months ago, and marvel at how the place is growing. It's something like getting older, or more mature, or heavier—we don't recognize it readily because we live with it everyday, but people who haven't seen us for a while spot it right away. What all this means is that the Duke Medical Center is growing, and Intercom is having to grow to keep up with it. Starting with next Friday's issue. Intercom will go to what is called a tabloid size. Instead of being printed on paper 8V2 by 11 inches, the new Intercom will be 16 by llVi. It will have four columns instead of three. It will have another new feature in that the weekly Medical Center Calendar, now printed separately, will become a part of Intercom, occupying its back page. Those of you who send information for the calendar will want to note a change in the deadline for submitting items. This is explained in another article in this issue. Next Friday we also will unveil something else new—Intercom distribution boxes (see picture on this page). The carpenter shop had made four of them and they will be located in the lobby of the Davison Building, at the entrance to the cafeteria, at the post office and in the area between the main lobby and the chapel where other newspaper vending machines are located. We hope you like the new Intercom. It will give us the opportunity, and the GET YOUR INTERCOMS HERE-W Intercom has anything close to a circulation manager, it has to be Nancy Hayes, secretary in the Public Relations Office. Her job includes distribution of the paper each Friday and keeping up with the mailing on Intercom's growing weekly and monthly mailing lists. Here Nancy is holding mock-up copies of the new-size Intercom that will begin publication next week. They will be available in new distribution boxes like this one, located at the post office, the main entrance to the cafeteria, the Davison Building lobby and in the corridor near the hospital lobby where other newspaper racks are located.

Heart Association. The Duke grants were among 33 awarded in the state totaling $80,810. These were in addition to the association's support of senior research investigators and the research program of the American Heart Association.
