from Australian National University and a year of study in Japan. "I tell my students to be careful of what books they read. In high school I read a book about Buddha and one thing led to another. "My parents, especially my father, encouraged me to follow my intellectual nose. My father, Francis, never finished grade school, but he was a widely read and curious man.

He encouraged us all, and his four children all have doctoral degrees. "I have every intention to maintain my contacts with colleagues at I.U., and with the undergraduates who keep me intellectually alert. I am sometimes furious, but always engaged. "What this fellowship is all about is time. Time for writing and research and reflection.

I live in Brown County with a great view, and to have time to sit there and do some uninterrupted work will be something," he said. "In the fall I will do almost what I had planned before this happened. For the first time in years I.U. will offer Sanskrit. It is one of my major languages and I will teach it in the fall.

"The fellowship is important, but it has taken me a long while to become established. My first job after getting the Ph.D. was as a night watchman in a sawmill in Wyoming. "In a field like mine you seldom have anyone take notice, so this is a nice additional piece," he said. Identity of body still a mystery The Indianapolis News An autopsy has not identified a nude body found in the Wabash River Sunday as that of the missing boyfriend of a slain Indianapolis woman.

Indianapolis Homicide Sgt. Robert Hoke said the autopsy performed Monday at Purdue University failed to determine if the body was that of Justin M. Bennett. 27, of the 1000 block of Udell Street. Hoke said the body was badly decomposed and that no dental or medical records were available on Bennett Also, the man apparently was never fingerprinted.

However, homicide detectives still believe the man found in the river behind the Logansport State Hospital by two fishermen is Bennett. He has been sought since Ramo-na M. Foster, 35, disappeared from her stepfather's blood spattere.d home in the 5300 block of Boulevard Place June 11. Bennett's relatives told police Bennett said he was planning to visit Mrs. Foster before he left home that evening.

Mrs. Foster's body was found in the Wabash River June 16, eight miles from the state hospital. Cass County Coroner Louis R. Marocco said Monday's autopsy revealed that the man died of multiple stab wounds to the back and chest The earlier autopsy on Mrs. Foster showed she had been stabbed seven times in the chest area.

Hoke said many of the blood samples taken from the stepfather's home were type B. He pointed out that Bennett has type positive blood. Police still are searching for Bennett's car. a 1976 blue Oldsmo-bile Delta. The license number is 93 4998.

By BILL PITTMAN The Indianapolis News BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Greg Schopen and his 8 year-old daughter, Morgan, went to the Indiana University Fun Fair, a carnival, and shot the heck out of $100. It was an occasion. A celebration of the announcement that Schopen had been selected as one of 24 fellows of the John and Catherine MacArthur Foundation with the solid gold promise of $196,000 tax free over the next five years. "It is a little like winning the lottery," Schopen said.

"I am still trying to get things in perspective. "It is an outrageous sum of money for a college professor. I have never even thought of that amount before," he said. Schopen is assistant professor of religious studies at I.U. His specialty is Indian Buddhism.

He came to I.U. last fall at a salary of $20,500, which rises next year to $25,000. "I was fortunate to get an outside offer from the University of Washington." Schopen said. "I have the feeling I.U. is reluctant to pay a living wage unless it has to.

We lose a lot of good people, and I was almost on that list." Schopen said he has no idea how he came to be on the MacArthur Fellowship list, although he has published extensively. Kenneth Hope, program director for the foundation, said in a statement. "People who work in fields like Buddhology and nautical archeology can make contributions that broaden our understanding of civilization and enrich our enjoyment of life."
