Colleagues are shocked about arrest KOKOMO, Ind. (AP) Colleagues of Richard L. Campbell, the former business manager of Indiana University-Kokomo, expressed shock at his arrest on charges of theft and forgery. “Even the thought that Richard Campbell would do anything dishonest is amazing to me,” said lUK Dean of Academic Affairs Arthur Gentile on Thursday. Campbell, 46, is accused of 20 counts of theft and 10 counts of forgery in the alleged misappropriation of more than $244,000 in university funds. He was arrested and released Wednesday night on SIO,OOO bond. Gentile called Campbell’s arraignment in Howard Circuit Court a tragedy for the university. “Our books are audited each year by the university audit division in Bloomington, and every two years by the State Board of Accounts,” Gentile said. “If the allegations hold up, the magnitude of this matter is astounding.” An affidavit filed Wednesday alleges that Campbell misappropriated $244,024 from the university’s mailing and duplicating account and from a petty cash fund during the last five years. Campbell had been lUK’s business manager for about 20 years before resigning Jan. 6. A preliminary trial date was set for July 15. Twelve arrested during drug bust ELKHART, Ind. (AP) Fifty police officers arrested 10 adults and two juveniles early Friday on charges of dealing marijuana and cocaine, authorities said.

Money owed in two townships
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) The State Board of Accounts says the trustee in Scipio Township of LaPorte County should repay the township $2,423 for excess travel expenditures and salary overpayments in 1985 and 1986. In an audit released Friday, examiners held John Bennett responsible for the money after checking the township’s books for the twoyear period. Examiners said the budgeted appropriations for trustee travel in 1985 and 1986 were SI,OOO and $1,200, respectively, but Bennett paid himself $1,688 and $1,694, examiners said. The trustee paid a clerk $1,161

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Fuel purchases in Indiana will rank among the most taxed in the nation if a proposal to increase the gasoline tax 3 cents a gallon is approved, a petroleum newsletter says. According to The Lundberg Letter, Indiana’s ranking in taxes paid on gasoline purchases would rise from 14th highest in the nation to third if the Legislature approves the gasoline tax hike. The Indiana Senate Finance Committee is considering a proposal to increase the fuel tax to 17 cents from 14 cents a gallon to finance millions of dollars in state highway improvements. The measure was proposed after the House rejected a bonding bill to fund the projects. The current gasoline tax accounts for 14 cents of the 25.93 cents per gallon in taxes a motorist pays to purchase fuel in Indiana. Federal taxes add 9.1 cents to the price of each gallon of gasoline sold. Sales taxes comprise the rest. The 25.93-cents figure represents 30 percent of the average 86-cent cost of a gallon.

Valentines express love in universal language...
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) The language of love may be universal, but when it comes to Valentine’s Day sentiments in the classifieds, a translator often would be helpful, some advertising professionals say. One Hoosier romantic expressing feelings for a valentine proved the case with points in Morse code. “There’s a series of three dots and three exclamation points at the end,” said Dave Ogle, advertising sales manager for The Elkhart Truth. “I suppose we ought to check that out.” The woman who took the dictation was consumed by the task of taking dashes and dots, so she never managed to get the translation in writing, said Denise Crowel, classified advertising supervisor. Some romantics go overboard with flowery prose, said Joann Ellis, classified manager of the Evening News in Jeffersonville. “Gosh, we had a lot of corny ones.” “Being without you is like a song without words, Cupid without his bow and arrow. I love you,” one of the Evening News ads said. Others were less flowery. “I love you little. I love you big. I love you more than a big, fat pig. Signed, Boss Hogg.” Classified clerks look forward to Valentine’s Day because the ads are much more interesting than the usual garage sale postings, said Gerri Kubal, assistant classified advertising supervisor for the Vidette-Messenger in Valparaiso. “When people call in and say, ‘Oh, I want to put this in for my husband,’ it’s a total different mood swing,” she said. Sometimes the advertisements contain a glimpse into the per-
...while hamburgers at center of this love tale
MUNSTER, Ind. (AP) was a box full of frozen hamburgers that finally convinced Dorris Kimmel McDaniel that her former love still cares after a 40-year separation. When Ray Lawson, 59, of Munster found his first love again, he decided he needed to do something unusual to grab her attention and to keep it, this time. So he went to his neighborhood White Castle restaurant, bought two dozen hamburgers, packed them in dry ice and shipped them express mail to his long-lost love in California. “When those White Castles arrived here, I called Ray and told him he had to come out here and see me,” said Mrs. McDaniel, a widow who lives near San Diego. “Then he came out Jicre for a week and we’ve called each other every day since,” she said. It’s been three weeks since love was rekindled by a boxful of burgers, and now the couple is planning to get married. Lawson, a salesman at JJ. Wright Oldsmobile in Calumet City, 111., says he’s convinced the hamburgers did the trick. He has already sold most of his belongings and plans to quit his job and move to California, where they will get married. The two met on a blind date when they were both 19. They fell in love and dated steadily for two years. Then, one day in 1948, Lawson went to her house and she had everything he had ever given her in a pile. “I said, ‘What’s this?’ And she said, ‘I want you to take all your stuff and leave. I can’t ever see you again,’ ” Lawson recalled. He left, thinking that she

sonal lives of the advertisers. “Lyn, my stomach’s a flutter. I can’t sleep a wink,” read Marge Snell, classified manager of the Herald-Telephone in Bloomington. “I’m always light-headed and don’t know what to think. It feels like when our love was brand new and I couldn’t see straight or know what to do. “Could it be I’m falling in love again, or maybe I just feel this way cause we’re having a baby?” A few ads hint of romance with a twist, nuances worthy of gossip. One woman called the Vidette-Messenger wanting to leam the identity of a secret admirer. The note ended with the plea, “It’s time to solve the mystery. Call me! ” “She went through the whole story on why she was doing it,” Ms. Kubal said. “It’s fun to hear what different people come up with.” A dispatcher wrote to her favorite “Honey Bunny Trucker” in the Herald-Telephone and complimented him on being “a great guy and a great trucker too.” Even during the seasons of love, some cynicism sneaks in. “Dangerous -You blew it -XBabe,” said one ad in The Tribune at Peru. Ogle in Elkhart said even the more rugged types find their own sweet words of praise for a special valentine, or two. “To big A 1 and Junior, Harleys are great, four-by-fours are too, but they just can’t rate compared to Junior and you,” one said. “God only knows what that must mean,” Ogle said.
would call him soon and patch things up. A week later, however, Miss Kimmel was on a train bound for California. “I had that in my head,” she said. “I just wanted to come out here and have a better life than what was there, in Gary.” Lawson joined the Navy and spent three years in Japan and the Philippines. When he shipped in stateside at San Diego in 1951, he asked her to meet him, but she was living in Santa Monica and couldn’t afford the trip. So Lawson went back to northwest Indiana, where he got a job selling cars, got married and had five children. “When I called her on the phone, she was a lttle overwhelmed,” Lawson said. “She was totally at a loss for words. She said I should call again and I said I would. But I got to thinking, I really needed to do something to get her attention.” A friend suggested the White Castle stunt and suddenly Lawson remembered that he and Miss Kimmel used to buy the little burgers when they went to the beach on summer afternoons. “I just loved them and they don’t have them out here,” Mrs. McDaniels said in a telephone interview with the Post-Tribune of Gary. “My kids had never tasted them before and just went crazy for them.” So Lawson got his invitation and flew to San Diego three weeks ago, and the rest soon will be history. “We knew just as soon as we walked out of the airport that there was still something there,” said Lawson. “It’s not the puppy love like it once was, but it’s love. It’s comfortable.”
