PREPARATION of the Pension Plan Guide, announced in The Newsletter #17, suffered a slight setback in that the principal author, Norm Shklov, has not been well these past few months. He has now found suitable medical attention and is feeling better.
Norm advises that The Guide should still meet the proposed deadline late summer or early fall.
THE GUIDE IS BEING DESIGNED to provide, in very simple language, (1) a description of the operations and procedures under the Plan, (2) a summary of the retiree's contributions, and (3) a summary of his or her benefits.

Val Cervin has had a paper accepted for presentation at the European Mathematical Psychology meeting in Padua, Italy in September. The title is Fuzzy Aids in Private Practice and Decisions.
THE UNUSUALLY LARGE NUMBER of retirees this year has led to the decision to delay the publication of the annual list of the Association membership until the fall, when the list should be fully updated.

The Newsletter has carried periodic reports on some of the activities of Uni-Com (University/Community). Most recently, Stuart Nease has advised us as follows:
The second Elderhostel Program took place in July, 1995... It was decided that Uni-Com would not offer a programme in 1996 but would do so in 1997, and planning is well under way. The general theme will be the Detroit River and Windsor as an inland deep sea port.
...Uni-Com is now organizing The Academy for Learning in Retirement. Several groups will be formed on a variety of topics, each group guided by a moderator. The underlying philosophy of the Academy will be "peer learning". (Nease promises more information on this and we shall pass it along as and when).
Stuart invites Retirees' Association members to join Uni-Com ("We want your ideas"). Dues are $35.00 per year ($50.00 includes spouse). Cheques payable to the U of W. (Tax receipt issued). The office is at 360 Sunset Ave. Telephone is 253-4232, ext. 3430, fax 971-3671.
