Slightly lower rates due for Indiana Gas

Indiana Gas Co. has filed revised rate schedules with the Public Service Commission of Indiana which include a downward adjustment to reflect a decrease in the price of underground gas storage services provided by interstate pipeline companies, and refunds based on reductions in charges the company had previously paid for underground gas storage services received from a pipeline supplier.

Two local students to attend institute

Jennifer Lee Nichols, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Reese Nichols, Route 1, Poland, and John A. Wiley, son of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Wiley, Route 1, Quincy, have been chosen to attend the 1979 American Institute of Cooperatives at the University of Missouri Campus, Columbia, Mo., Aug. 4-10. Miss Nichols will be a senior at Cloverdale High School where she is active in FFA, dramatics, speech, Spanish and science clubs, choir and has been a cheerleader. In the community, Jennifer has been in 4-H four years and has been a Junior Leader three years, recently being elected secretary to that organization. SHE HAS HELPED with the Putnam County Council on Handicapped Citizens and has been a member of the Youth Group for two years. Jennifer has been a member of the Cloverdale judging teams and will be competing in the state poultry and egg judging contest as well as the state livestock judging contest May 30 and June 1 this year.

Wiley will also be a senior at Cloverdale High School where he is active in FFA, being president of that group. John is a mem-

proficiency will get immediate attention. They’ll take a special developmental course, clinic or workshop to catch up in the deficient skill. Conventional introductory courses, like English 100 or Speech 100, will enroll all other students in what are called “foundational” courses. TO MAINTAIN AN emphasis on reading, speaking and quantification after completion of one or both of the first two levels, there are three additional “integrative” courses. These courses are probably the most nearly unique aspect of DePauw’s new thrust. Like the developmental and foundtional courses, they have become part of new, more rigorous graduation requirements at the liberal arts university. Each of DePauw’s 20 academic departments will have courses that integrate the normal subject matter with skills. A

City Council

“THE INSPECTOR HAS TO have the attitude of assisting the homeowner, rather than imposing a hardship. I don’t want to see it get where a homeowner has to feel he can’t make home improvements without hiring a professional.” “You don’t want to get a dictatorial person,” commissioner Elbert Irwin said. “Too often there’s somebody who doesn’t like somebody and that can create a bad situation.” Electrical, plumbing, mechanical and structural checks - a minimum of four inspections for a single-family dwelling - could prevent fire or any future building failures. It’s in the interest of safety that the inspector make mandatory inspections. BUT FINDING the right person for the

zoology major may find she has a minimum of expository writing projects in at least one zoology course. This is called a “W” (writing) course. A HISTORY MAJOR WILL encounter a “Q” course that requires additional work calling for quantitative reasoning. Perhaps a history course that sends him to the Computer Center to analyze and handle certain historical data or statistics. And an economics-business course, to be labed an “S” course, may demand assignments that require oral presentations. Perhaps a simulated financial report to a fictitious board of directors. “Anyone who expects to assume a leadership role in the professions, business, of the social services must write clearly, speak effectively, and know how to use quantitative data,” said Dr. Fred Silander, dean of the faculty and administrator of the new program.

job is another story. “It’s going to be difficult to find someone well versed in electrical, well versed in masonry and dry wall and well versed in plumbing and heating,” County Sanitarian Vernie Zeiner told local officials. The Council and commissioners also heard from Zeiner and others about plans to renew recycling efforts in conjunction with the farmers market. ZEINER ASKED the city and county to appoint a coinmission to make a cost feasibility study on local recycling. “Money is the name of the game” Zeiner said. “When we get too many foxes, we put a bounty on foxes. Why not put a bounty on a tin can or a plastic jug? I think all we’ve got to do is get the kids involved. ’ ’ Local efforts to recycle steel, tin,

ber of the National Honor Society, ranking in the upper fifth of his class. Also a member of the judging team, John has qualified to participate in the state forestry, soil and crops judging contests. Like Jennifer, John also was chosen to go to the national FFA convention. He is a member of the Amity Baptist Church. As delegates to the 1979 AIC conference, Wiley and Miss Nichols will represent Putnam County and will be part of the Indiana AIC delegation. They will learn how the cooperative systems plays an integral part in the American private enterprise system and how this is important to their local community. The 1979 conference will attract thousand of youth, young farmers, adult educators, agricultural leaders, and cooperative personnel from across the entire United States. SELECTED AS ALTERNATES for this year’s trip were Christina Morrison from Cloverdale High School, Mike L. Martin from Greencastle High School and Chad Colvin from North Putnam High School. These young adults are jointly sponsored by the Federal Land Bank Association of Greencastle, the Clay County Telephone Cooperative, the Hendricks County Farm Bureau Cooperative and the Greencastle Production Credit Association.

pay for most of the special training required to implement the program. This includes reduced teaching loads for faculty coordinators in the three skill areas, outside consultants, summer workshops to train teachers to develop and use the competency programs, equipment and measurement and evaluation instruments. Silander estimates 30-40 instructors will be prepared to teach the skill-intensive courses. The English department will provide the resource personnel for the W (writing) courses, the department of communication arts and sciences the S (speaking) courses, and the department of mathematics-astronomy and computer science the Q (quantification) courses. The program and grant are geared to a four-year implementation and evaluation period.

aluminum, plastic jugs, newspapers and clear, brown or green glass will continue at the farmers market, Zeiner said. Ms. Strain and Warren were named as city representatives to help with a recycling commission a la the Farmers Market Commission. Irwin and Walton agreed to be county representatives. “OUR FUTURE IS at stake, that’s why we’re concerned,” Ms. Strain said. “Remember, we didn’t think a couple of years ago that we’d be paying 80 cents a gallon for gasoline either.” The next City Council meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 12 rather than the second Monday of the month. The Council has also scheduled 7 p.m. special meetings to work on the budget June 25 and July 2. All three meetings will be at City Hall.
