| BILL FULLER very cleverly divided his life into 17 year segments to tell us about his youth in a fresh air slum in Indianapolis where he barely graduated from high school in 1939. Marriage to Lou, an all expense tour to northern Europe (WWII) and a B.S. at Butler and M.S. at Purdue filled another 17 years. A Ph.D. from Purdue led him to a very distinguished career at Purdue more than 35 years. Along the way he served on the Lafayette Symphony Board, as president of Rotary, on the Board of Partners of the America and he became a pilot. This came in handy while Chancellor at the North Central Campus. The honors received by BILL only increase his wonder at what life had brought him when viewed from his life at 17 years old. |  |

ROTARY FACT:
The Annual Programs Fund of the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International is the primary source of unrestricted funds for the programs of the Rotary Foundation. It funds programs in 168 countries on seven continents with projects ranging from digging clean water wells for villages in Africa to teaching basic literary skills to children in Latin America. During any given moment in a day, thousands of Rotarians volunteer their time and expertise to ensure that all contributions to the Annual Programs Fund are spent wisely on quality Rotary projects. If Every Rotarian, Every Year makes a gift to the Annual Programs Fund, we will be able to continue the great work of our Rotary Foundation.
PROGRAM:
| JEANNE NORBERG introduced ERNIE POLAND, Director of Residences at Purdue. ERNIE was full of interesting facts about the facilities and the way students use them. Residents department benefits to the community include 540 regular employees and a payroll of $17 million per year. The 13 residence halls house 11,500 students. Major projects include a new $60 million residence hall (537 beds, 1/room), renovations of Cary and Windsor, air conditioning more buildings, food service consolidation, and fire sprinklers in old buildings. There are 5 major dining courts, down from 11 cafeterias. Ford Food Court was recently presented the Golden Trowel Award by the Indiana and Kentucky Masons for the floor. Next time you are wondering where to eat, try one of the courts where 3.3 million meals were served last year. They are open to the public. |

PRESIDENT SUSAN'S
WISDOM: - Stressed is merely desserts spelled backward.
- Psychiatrists say that 1 of 4 people are mentally ill. Check 3 friends. If they're OK, you're it.
- Diplomacy is the art of letting other people have your way.
- I've always wanted to be normal, but lately I've come to suspect that this is it.
