Where Are We Going?" Dr. DeBoer joined the staff at Purdue in l984, and has B.A. degree (1978) from Earlham, and M.A. (1981) and Ph.D. (1983) degrees from Syracuse. Dr. DeBoer will be

CONGRATULATIONS to LIZ SOLBERG ("Leader" picture) who
became the latest Rotarian to be featured as a "Lafayette Leader" in the series of "profile" articles by Lillian Price. This is a most easy reading article about LIZ and her family, it's almost like
having her sitting in the room with you - so typical of her. Congratulations to a very deserving person to be recognized in this manner for her many contributions to our community.
J. PHILLIP KLINGER (PHIL) with classification RELIGION�Christianity-Protestantism, was introduced by his
sponsor BILL HATFIELD. PHIL, retired United Methodist minister, and his spouse, NANCY, are the parents of two sons, both of whom are college professors, have two grandchildren, and reside
at 2523 Nottingham Place, West Lafayette 47906-5022 - telephone 497-4370. NANCY is a retired elementary teacher, Klondike Elementary School. PHIL is hardly a new member as he
joined our Club back on January 10, 1984 and was a member for several years before moving to Anderson where he was a Rotarian for six years. PHIL noted that
he was available for golfing, fishing, and general talking, and moved back to the Greater Lafayette area for two reasons, i.e., closer for use of season tickets and closer to his cemetery plot. 
President DAN introduced OSCAR HOPKINS, who in turn introduced Prof. Otto Doering, who made a most interesting
presentation. Prof. Doering provided a great deal of information, in a most articulate manner, about the CA power crisis, as well as detailed information regarding the pluses and minuses of coal,
natural gas and nuclear power generation. He feels that nuclear power is the cleanest, but cost of construction is the problem. If you should have an opportunity to hear Prof. Doering make a
presentation regarding energy problems, you should take advantage of it. Prof. Doering, in lieu of a Rotary brass wheel, requested that $10.00 be donated, in his name, to the Lafayette Rotary Foundation.
