City Police Two teen-agers were injured in a one-vehicle accident Wednesday evening on Round Bam Road, a half-mile north of Indianapolis Road, Greencastle City Police said. Jannette Harris, 19, Fillmore, was southbound on Round Bam Road, near the Nazarene Church, when she encountered a pair of bicyclists side by side in the southbound lane, Capt. Paul Wilson reported. ACCORDING TO A witness, as Harris went to pass, the rider on the outside drifted into the northbound traffic lane. To avoid hitting the bicyclists, Harris went off the roadway in the 1988 Pontiac she was driving. The car struck a tree, causing an estimated $2,500$5,000 damage to the vehicle, owned by R.W. and J.S. Harris. Harris and a passenger, Ella Rae Prebley, 19, Fillmore, both complained of head pain as a result of the 5:29 p.m. accident. Operation Life ambulance transported the victims to Putnam County Hospital, police said. A two-vehicle accident at 4:45 p.m. Wednesday resulted in only minor property damage, Capt. Wilson reported. A 1988 LINCOLN, driven by Earl Myers, 67, Greencastle, was stopped on Manhattan Road, 1,500 feet south of Sunset Drive, waiting for a train to pass. A northbound 1988 Ford Bronco, driven by Beverly Costin, 41, Route 1, Greencastle, failed to stop in time, however, and struck the rear of Myers’ car. Damage to both vehicles was estimated at S2OO- - Indiana State Police An unknown person kicked in a door at the Scott E. Tharp residence, Route 1, Fillmore, and apparently took his time in making his selections, sometime between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. Trooper Jason Fajt’s report shows a 19-inch Philco color TV, a Fisher VCR, a Pioneer receiver, a Toshiba cassette deck, a Sharp microwave oven, a DePauw University mug containing S3O in change, a Hoover vacuum cleaner, and a leather jacket were missing from the home. Total value of the stolen items is $1,580. Earl E. Bundy reported the theft of an electric water pump and a 40gallon water tank from his property at Route 4, Greencastle. According to Trooper John Mishler’s report, the pump and tank were installed on Bundy’s property before disappearing sometime between Saturday and Tuesday. The pump and tank are valued at $269.

Reading

But all of that could not change the fact that it was too late to do anything in 1988, so Mrs. Williams began making plans for this May, and the 1989 Indianapolis 500. The plans began with the jelly bean jar in the library. Students will have all of this week of guess the number of beans. The reward will be collected at 10 a.m. Monday at the race’s opening cefemonies. GREENCASTLE Supt. Gary Druckemiller will talk about the importance of the team concept, stressing that all Northeast students are one giant racing team trying to win this race, rather than 323 competitors. Mayor Mike Harmless will take to the students about the history of the Indianapolis 500 and some of its traditions. The 500 Festival Queen will be on hand to read to the students and talk with them about her role in this year’s race, and to receive a bouquet of flowers from one lucky

The student body will sing “Back Home Again in Indiana” and then Principal Mike Tzouanakis will imitate the late Tony Hulman and tell the students to “start your engines” while balloons are released into the sky. The students will then start reading for race cars. Mrs. Williams said any book is acceptable. “It’s not what you’re reading” she insists, “it’s that you are reading.” Friday, May 12 will be Flag Day and students will be encouraged to wear clothes the color of their favorite 500 flag (green, yellow, red, white, black/white checkers, and black).

meet behind closed doors for most personell matters. However, any action the board might choose to take must be taken in a public session. THE BOARD HAS scheduled a special meeting for 7:30 May 24 for personell matters. Specifics of that meeting have not been set, according to GCSC executive secretary Ruth Schroeder, though an agenda must be set at least 48 hours before the meeting. All of the meetings will be at the Miller Education Center, 522 Anderson St. Only the special session is open to the public.

National Science Teachers Association, sent student experiments into orbit through NASA’s Space Shuttle program. He said that the first and second years he entered the contest his idea was turned down. But in his third year of entering the contest, his experiment was launched. UNTIL THEN, he said, his idea had been like putting together an extensive research paper. It was all on paper and had not been actually applied. Once NASA accepted his project, Kentucky Fried Chicken became his corporate sponsor, underwriting the costs of the project, and Vellinger went to Louisville to work on the experiment. Vellinger said that as eggs develop, gravity causes the embryo to drop to the bottom of the shell. As the chick grows it rotates inside the shell. Humans develop much the same way, he said, which explains why the heart is off center. His experiment checked to see if an absence of gravity would cause the embryos to develop differently. Using brown chicken eggs due to their stronger shells and an endless available supply, Vellinger decided to send 16 two-day-old eggs into space to check their development. He also sent 16 nine-day-old eggs into space to check how an absence

Commit yourself to see ‘Dream Team’

Editor’s Note: Gordon Walters is professor of romance languages at DePauw University, where he teaches a variety of courses in film, including History of Film and Film Criticism. Walters has written on film for several publications and is a regular contributor to “Cinema Annual.” Walters’ reviews will appear in the Banner-Graphic on a regular basis. By GORDON WALTERS Banner-Graphic Film Critic “The Dream Team’s” comic premises alone tickles our funnybones, and a great cast Michael Keaton, Christopher Lloyd, Stephen Furst and Peter Boyle makes this farce into one of the best films to come out of Hollywood this year. Billy (Keaton), Albert (Furst), Henry (Lloyd) and Jack (Boyle) are all inmates of Trenton, N.J.’s Cedarbrook Psychiatric Hospital. BILLY HAS BEEN committed because he has a short fuse (or, as he puts it, a “low frustration level”), Albert is a semi-catatonic who interprets life’s mysteries in terms of baseball play-by-play, while obsessive-compulsive Henry masquerades as a doctor. Jack, an ex-adman who once was the “James Joyce of Chef Boy-ar-dee,” sees himself as Jesus Christ. The four guys meet regularly for group therapy under the tutelage of the kindly Dr. Weitzman (Dennis Boutsikaris), who one day comes to the conclusion that his patients are ready for an outing in the real world. Baseball is the name of the game, and Yankee Stadium is the destination. So off go Weitzman and his charges into the jungle of Manhattan, where the doctor disappears, leaving his patients to fend for themselves and try to solve the mystery of the missing psychiatrist. KEATON’S BILLY is his familiar wise-guy persona, and since he is the one of the four who is most in touch with reality, he

of gravity affected bone calcium since astronauts in space experience a loss of bone calcium. THE INNER EARS of the older chicks will also be checked as scientists study why astronauts experience motion sickness even though no gravity exists in space. Meanwhile, another group of two-day-old and nine-day-old eggs would be kept on earth as a comparison group. Vellinger built a special incubator to keep the eggs at their constant temperature and humidity, as well as protect them from the vibrations of launching and landing. Designing the incubator took months, he said, but as a mechanical engineering student, that challenge was the most interesting for him. During the five days that 32 of the eggs were in orbit, the 32 other eggs stayed in an incubator on earth and underwent the same conditions of take-off, space flight and landing, with the exception of weightlessness. AT THE END OF the shuttle mission, half of both embryo groups were studied while the other halves were sent back to the Kentucky Fried Chicken laboratory in Louisville. Vellinger said that all of

manages to keep the crew together. With a little help from Billy’s exgirlfriend (Lorraine Bracco), the guys eventually arrive at a happy ending on several levels. Their consistently hilarious adventures actually prove to be extraordinarily therapeutic as the four mental patients, who had been given up as lost causes, demonstrate to themselves and to their doctors that they can function in society. Boyle works some of the film’s best gags as his character fades in and out of lucidity. In the van on the way to the city, he does a wonderfully deadpan lip-synch of “Hit the Road, Jack”; later, in Manhattan, he is in his glory as he stumbles into a black gospel meeting and “gets naked in the eyes of the Lord,” and still later, in a hospital, he “miraculously” raises a patient from a gurney, only to have the man fall flat on his face as Jack marches confidently down the corridor. THERE’S MUCH more. Director Howard Zeiss takes the script of John Connolly and David Loucka and runs with it, sharply pacing terrific material, and therein lies the key to “The Dream Team’s fun. Top-drawer entertainment. *** “The Dream Team” opens Friday at Ashley Square Twin Cinemas in Greencastle, along with “Child’s Play.”

the nine-day-day old embryos hatched. Bone calcium experiments on those chicks will continue for a few months. However, only the earth-in-cubated two-day-old embryos developed into chickens. The two-day-old space eggs did not hatch. Vellinger said that suggests that embryos can develop in a weightless environment, but gravity is crucial for a short time in the early development of the eggs. THAT THEORY can be applied to future human space colonies, he said. “Maybe we have to generate gravity early on in reproduction.” Vellinger said he was surprised that the two-day-old space eggs did not hatch. He thought that they would develop better, since another study proved that crystaline structure develops better in a weightless environment. Vellinger said that his experiment took nine years from start to finish and gave him opportunities that he would not have had otherwise. He met with the President, NASA scientists and now travels to give lectures on the experiment. “It’a all because I went a little bit farther than I had to,” he told the students.
