*Marianne Mason Leaving Law Library
I am sorry to announce that Marianne Mason has submitted her resignation from the Law Library to accept the position of Federal Documents Collection Librarian at the University of Iowa. Marianne has been the Documents Librarian since October, 1988. During her tenure at the Law Library, Marianne has been instrumental in directing many important projects, including the retrospective conversion of the Law Library's documents collection using Marcive. Marianne has also been active in local, state and national library organizations. We will certainly miss her expertise in documents and reference.
Marianne's last day at the Law Library will be April 13th.

*Group Fitness Classes Offered
Group fitness classes are offered over the lunch hour for all faculty and staff on weekdays in the HPER Building, Room 169. On Mondays and Wednesdays the focus is on stretching and strengthening, and the instructors pay particular attention to neck, shoulder, and upper back areas which are prone to stiffness from sitting at computer terminals for long periods of time. On Tuesdays and Thursdays the classes consist of exercises which work the cardiovascular system. Fridays offer more relaxed stretching routines and body awareness exercises. These classes and others are available with a Faculty/Staff Membership to the HPER facility, which is offered for a modest fee, based on an employee's salary. For example, the fee is only $30.00 per year for someone with a salary under $20,000, or $36.00 per year for those making between 20 and $39,000. There are also package rates for employees, spouses, and dependents under 18. All fees may be deducted from the employee's paycheck, if desired. For an additional $45.00 per year, a locker may be rented, including towels, showers, sauna, hair dryers, etc.
Additional information about other classes, facilities, and fitness services may be found at http://www.indiana.edu/~recsport
