‘Fast Day’ On Campus Planned

A “hast Day” will be held on the DePauw campus this Tuesday according to Mark Behrendt, chairman of the Committee for Children’s Relief. On that day “students, faculty, and administrators will be sacrificing anywhere from dessert to all three meals so that less fortunate Americans may benefit.” said Behrendt. a member of Alpha Tau Omega. All twenty-three Greek organizations and all independent students living in campus

housing will participate in the “Fast Day.” Fraternities and sororities will he closing their dining rooms for either one or two meals on Tuesday and donating the money saved on food to Americans for Childrens Relief (ACR), the beneficiary of this drive. Freshman women and independents will be contributing individually in their dorms since the administration refused to act as a “collecting agency” for the drive. Tables fox individual contri-

More Boycott Action Looms

Although the week-long meat boycott has ended without major retail price reductions nationwide, the possibility of further consumer action still exists. Yet Hoosier farmers and consumers, according to George Doup, president of the Indiana Farm Bureau, “should feel fortunate that the boycott was not overly effective and that it did not result in drastically lowei prices." The Columbus man explained his feelings as he said. “Lower livestock prices will discourage production. What will help the consumer most now is an expansion of farm feeding of livestock.” He continued. “This will come only if farmers can anticipate a profit in their feeding operations." In contrast to the attitude expressed b\ the representative of Indiana farmers, the

owner of a grocery store in Pittsburgh, Pa., stated. “If 1 don't sell meat. I don’t order it from the packer. If the packer doesn't sell, he doesn't order from the feeder and the farmer. We figure the farmer can keep live beef on the hoof longer than we can keep dressed beef in our coolers, so the farmer will just hold back and there'll be a shortage." Executive Director of the Georgia Agribusiness Council. Frank Welton. stated, “The housewife is now saving she won't pay the high prices for beef. What's she going to do when there’s no meat to buv?" The Farm Bureau president did speculate on a beef shortage as a possible result of further boycott attempts as he told. “When farmers plan their breeding, farrowing, feeding and planting programs for the Please Turn to Page 2

butions will be located in each of the dormitories and in the LB lounge and the administration building. Behrendt said people wishing to write a check for the ACR may make it out to Americans for Childrens Relief, Greenwich. Connecticut. These tables will contain information about ACR Monday and Tuesday so that students and faculty may learn more about Americans lor Childrens Relief and what it does. Americans for Childrens Relief was founded in 1968 by a Connecticut housewife under the name Food for Biafra Committee. With the conclusion of the war between Biafra and Nigeria, it became Americans for Childrens Relief and focused primarily on its domestic programs. All the money donated will go to the Su Clinica Familiar, Spanish for “Your Family Clinic,” in Raymondv ille, Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley. Over 3.500 MexicanAmerican and white families are served by this medical clinic located in one of the poorest regions of the country. Forty-two per cent of the families in the area have incomes of less than $3,000 per year. In 1967. a total expenditure of 92 cents per family was made for public health activities while over halt of the births in the two county area served by the clinic take place outside of a hospital. “These people aren’t poor because they don't want to work." said Behrendt. “They want work but can only find it in migratory labor which pays no more than a poverty wage.

Boys’ Contest ’73 Underway At IGA

Over 100 Indiana boys from 10 through 14 will be taking “dream trips” to California in an unusual contest now going on in IGA stores, according to Dick Edwards, owner of the Greencastle IGA. The boys will win all-ex-pense-paid trips just by having their friends, neighbors and relatives vote for them each time they visit a participating

store. Special ballot boxes have been set up in all supermarkets and customers are being asked to vote for their “favorite boy.” The trip winners will be those who receive the most votes. Paul Donley, a spokesman for Wetterau Foods, Inc., the wholesale supplier for IGA in Indiana, said the winning boys will travel by jet to Los

Angeles for five full days. The trip includes a red-carpet visit to movie studios, major league baseball games, Disneyland, Marineland of the Pacific, and other glamour points in the Golden State. “Unlike most elections, this is one case where it is quite in order to vote often,” Donley said. “In fact, we encourage it - - friends and neighbors of the boys can vote every time they come in to a participating market.” Two of the winners will be from Greencastle. The winning boys will leave for Los Angeles on July I 5 and return July 19. “Through the contest the lucky boys get a wonderful chance to enhance their education and see some of the greatest entertainment the country has to offer, Edwards said. “Just about every boy in Putnam County has his own Please Turn to Page 2

The conference committee report on the 1973 tax package contains some “serious mistakes." charged State Senator Flden C Tipton. 39th Senate District, today. Two of the mistakes are “too little property tax replacement and a local option tax that by-passes corporations with the collection plate, but delivers a property tax relief windfall to their front door,” Tipton charged. “In my.opinion," he said, “the distribution of the local option tax revenue is too overweighted for cities at the expense of suburban and rural residents. Also, the public school finance problem is by and large the property tax problem for the average property taxpayer and the tax package barely scratches its surface. with the local option tax being practically no help at all.” Tipton was referring to a conference committee that was appointed after the House failed to accept the Senate changes in Governor Otis Bowen’s tax package. The basic elements of the Bowen tax package remain much the same, Tipton claimed, including: -A two-cent sales tax in-

crease. with the food exemption now limited to certain groceries; —A new one per cent local option income tax. which can be lev ied in increments of onehalf. three-fourths or one per cent. —Loss of the 58 per person tax credit on the income tax form; —An increase in the corporate adjusted gross from two per cent to three per cent; a new two per cent corporate

supplemental net, increased to two-and-one-half per cent in 1975 and three per cent in 1977; reduction in corporate gross by five per cent per year until 1992, beginning in 1973. “With a full one per cent local option income tax, only 15 per cent of the new revenues are raised from business, although business still receives over 52 per cent of the relief,” Tipton charged.

Seeks Block Of FDA Vitamin Rule

Indiana Congressman John Myers announced today he is sponsor of legislation to prohibit the Food and Drug Administration from banning the sale of truthfully labeled vitamin and mineral food supplements for reasons other than safety and fraud. Myers said new FDA regulations would deny Americans the opportunity to purchase and use certain vitamin and mineral preparations not because they are unsafe but be-

cause they contain vitamin and mineral levels above levels which the FDA presumes to

beadequate for good health. “T he new EDA regulations

would require consumers to consult a physician and be classified as having a disease before they can obtain dietary supplements. Approximately 80 per cent of the vitamins sold today would be restricted under the new FDA order.’

Ecuador, Venezuela, Portugal, France, Germany and Sweden are among the foreign countries which accompany a list of 35 states to have channeled messages through the DePauw University Ham radio station. Members of the DePauw radio club make up the staff of operators for the station which was begun during the winter term of 1972 under the supervision of Dr. Paul B. Kissinger of the DPU Physics Department. Since that time the operation has served to relay personal messages all over the country for many DePauw students as well as several people throughout the community. Ray Smith, one of the original members of the radio club, pointed out that the service of relaying the messages is free to persons, wishing to take advantage of it. He further urged Greencastle townspeople to contact the DPU station if they have any messages to be sent to friends or relatives anywhere in the United States, or even in foreign countries. Smith explained that amateur radio stations are completely non-commercial. "We are not allowed to send any type of business message, and are not allowed to charge for our services for this reason.” he said. The radio club, which consists of about 10 licensed DPU student operators, is assisted by approximately five offcampus operators. While the group emphasized the desire to send messages throughout the Indiana area, they also explained that they will send any type of message, other than business, anyw here desired. The station was originally organized in the 1920's, according to Smith, but has since been re-organized several times. "When we reorganized the station last year,” Smith explained, “we kind of took over Dr.

Kissinger’s office and operated there for awhile.” He continued, “Then we moved to the Mitchell Lab, where we were until October of last year when we moved to the top floor of the new Science Center.” Smith also reported that in November a new tower was erected at the top of the center to serve the amateur operation. Smith, who holds a general license, explained that the radio club is still in the process of organizing. "Anyone is welcome to come to our meetings," he stated. “At this point the students are only able to come to the station during free time, so it’s hard to keep someone there all the time.” The DePauw student was enthusiastic as he explained what it is like to work at the station. “Contacts vary from a couple of minutes to hours,” he stated. “When I'm talking to someone 1 don't know from another state, or another country, we often compare the type of equipment we are using, or antennae, the area from which we are operating and any problems we have encountered,” he continued. “We even get to know each other somewhat as we talk about our occupations Please Turn to Page 2 Council Meeting Tonight Newly-appointed Greencastle Mayor Ray Fisher, who replaces Fred Snively as head of the city government, will have his first council meeting tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the council chambers of city hall.
