University Heads Appeal For Funds

* INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Publishers and editors of 35 Indiana newspapers Wednesday heard three state university presidents plead for adequate appropriations for their institutions of higher learning. The newsmen listened to Dr. Elvis Stahr jr., Indiana University; Dr. Frederick Hovde, Purdue University, and Dr. Raleigh W. Holmstedt. Indiana State College, criticize the House Ways and Means Committee for pruning allowances of their institutions. The educators attacked statements that students are living in the lap of luxury and are able to pay higher tuition fees. Stahr said 90 per cent of I. U. students are working to pay all or part of their college expenses and Holmstedt estimated the total at Indiana State at 75 per cent. Questions “Frivolous” Bruce Temple, general manager and editor of the Bloomington Herald-Telephone, said he attended the budget-slashing meeting of the Ways and Means Committee last week and added many of the questions asked by the lawmakers were “frivolous.” “One question was whether there were maids in the university dormitories,” Temple said. Hovde said the university budgets were submitted six months ago. He denounced unsympathetic attitudes of committee members. “That’s a hell of away to run a business,” Hovde said. “Let's don’t sell our kids down the river.” Stewart Riley, publisher of the Bloomington newspaper and of the Bedford Times - Mail, denounced

what he said were “silly questions and downright hostility” of legislators concerning needs for higher learning. He added the pleas of the educators suffered from a "poor press” to date. Hovde stressed the benefit of the graduate school of Purdue to the national space race. He said transistors are a product of the Purdue laboratories. “If we had obtained patents on these transistors, we would not have to beg for money from the legislators,” Hovde said. “Baby Boom” Stahr predicted the boom” of 1946 would hike enrollments in the four state universities and colleges by 10,000 during the next two years covered by the biennial budget. "Because of automation, unless we afford adequate education, we are going to have thousands and thousands of unemployed,” Stahr declared. "That fact is beginning to soak in with the members of the Legislature.” He said a national survey disclosed the average university professor works 56 hours a week and Hovde said graduate and other students often work through the early morning hours in research. Joe H. Nixon, publisher of the Wabash Plain Dealer, said it was significant to learn the heads of the four schools met and drafted harmoniously the budget requests of the respective institutions. He said they were thus able to check on each other to the benefit of the public.

Theodore Roosevelt Issued Hike Order By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD — As everyone in the entire, every-lov-ing ambulatory world must know by now, America is on a hiking binge. The way things are going, hiking will become the biggest fad since flagpole sitting. Some people apparently are just now discovering that they have feet. It all started, of course, with President Kennedy’s revival of an old Theodore Roosevelt directive fixing a three-day, 50-mile hike as a fitness test for military officers. Would you like to hear the true, inside story of what was behind the original directive? Very well. Just stay right there in your easy chair and I will give you the scoop. Roosevelt was never exactly a 98-pound weakling, but he did have what might be described as a “Charles Atlas complex.” Sickly As Youth As a youth, according to his autobiography, he was "rather sickly and awkward” and “quite unable to hold my own when thrown into contact with other boys of rougher antecedents.” If Atlas, the famous body-build-er, had been in business at the time, young Teddy probably would have enrolled in his correspondence course in muscle development. But he lived in the primitive era before Atlas invented “dynamic tension,” so he was forced to create a physical culture program of his own. For several years, Roosevelt went in big for wrestling. While governor of New York, he billed the state for a wrestling mat, but the expense was disallowed by the comptroller, who took the position that it was not a “proper gubernatorial amusement.” Took Up Boxing Roosevelt next took up boxing, but abandoned it after a poke in the eye ruptured some blood vessels. He was by then getting pretty old, so he turned to less trenuous exercise—jiu-jitsu. It was his high regard for what he called “the vigor of life” that prompted him to issue the hiking directive. The armed forces were dismayed by the order and did all they could to circumvent it. But Roosevelt himself said it was "a test which many a healthy middle-aged woman would be able to meet.” To prove his point, he often went on hikes with an athletic group known as the “tennis cabinet." When they came to a river, they didn’t bother with bridges. They swam across. “If we swam the Potomac, we usually took off our clothes,” Roosevelt recalled. On one occasion the French ambassador joined the hike and as they were about to swim the river someone noticed . that he was still wearing his gloves. “I think I will leave them on,” said the proper but otherwise naked envoy. “We might meet ladies.” 1962 Traffic Toll Increased To 1,227 EVANSVILLE, Ind. (UPD - Otto Scholtz, 75, Evansville, died Wednesday of injuries suffered in an accident last August, raising Indiana’s 1962 trafifc death count to 1,227, according to state police records.

Welldigger Is Rescued After Hours In Pit LAKE TOMAHAWK, Wis. (UPD — A welldigger trapped eight feet underground was freed by rescue workers today after spending nearly 15 hours buried to his shoulders in a sandy pit. Rescuers worked through the night before wresitng Raymond Fink, 31, Athens, Wis., from a caved in well where he was nearly buried alive at 3 p.m. Wednesday. He was pulled from the well at 5:40 a.m. today. Fink was taken to a Woodruff, Wis., hospital where doctors said he was in good condition after his ordeal. After he was pulled from the well by a belt hooked around his chest he embraced his wife and said, “I’m okay, honey.” He was smiling and protested being taken to the hospital. Fink sipped warm milk and smoked cigarettes while rescue workers struggled to free him. His brother, Lawrence, stayed at his side and when a second and third cave-in buried Fink to the neck his brother clawed away the dirt with his bare hands. The scene is located about 100 feet from the Chicago and North Western Railway tracks and authorities ordered all train traffic halted so as not tc cause another cave-in from viorations. A f ter hours of waiting, trains were allowed to proceed slowly. Fink’s wife was at the scene but did not speak with her trapped husband. A Catholic priest administered the last rites of the church to Fink and told the buried man he had his roasry beads “flying” for him. “I’ve got them going pretty fast down here, too, father,” Fink replied. More than 100 rescue workers, including 25 inmates of a state [|iscn farm, worked to save Fink. A large tunnel was dug next to the well and shored up with plywood boards. A culvert was lowered over Fink’s body to provide protection
