Chain letters
     Several chain letters have been circulating across campus, causing
concern among some faculty and staff. Whether promising financial gain,
improved luck or personal enhancement, chain letters are a violation of
University policy. Distribution of chain letters through Campus Mail wastes
the time of the sender, the recipient and resources.


'Walk for the Cure'
     The 1995 Juvenile Diabetes Foundation's "Walk for the Cure" will be
held on Sunday, Sept. 17, on a 12K course through Wilmington's Brandywine
and Rockford parks.
     The First State chapter's goal is to raise $135,000 for diabetes
research.
     Individuals interested in participating, forming a team or obtaining
further details should contact Lynne Verity Flynn at the Juvenile Diabetes
Foundation at 633-3350.


Arrival survival
     The University's Arrival Survival Team will be helping students during
check-in days on Aug. 26 and 27.
     Last year, 176 administrators, faculty, staff, students and alumni
participated in the program, most working four-hour shifts at locations
throughout campus. This year's goal is to enlist the support of 500
volunteers.
     Participants may work all day or for half-day, four-hour shifts. They
also may request certain areas of campus.
     The registration deadline is Aug. 1. For more information or to obtain
a form, contact Charles Shermeyer, project coordinator, through e-mail at
Chuck.Shermeyer@mvs.udel.edu or call 831-8423.
