An Indianapolis Grand Jury recently indicted seven officials and businessmen for the terrible explosion at the coliseum in Indianapolis which took more lives than any Hoosier disaster in modern times. The indictment, when read in full, is a rather peculiar document. Some of the charges that appear in it would seem at ho m e in a political speech. Grand jury indictments, you know, which are issued by the Grand Jury, are usually written up by the prosecuting attorney, an elected offical, and the Marion cotfnty prosecutor, a Republican, apparently was trying very hard to get his licks in at the Democratic state and city administrations. The coliseum’s manager, concession manager, three officials of the Discout Gas Corp., which furnished the LP gas, were indicted for involuntary manslaughter, and the state fire marshal, Ira J. Anderson, and Indianapolis fire chief Arnold Phillips, was charged with neglect of-duty. The state fire marshal has pointed out that inspectors from his office inspected the coliseum specifically last June, and found no evidence of LP gas there; that he had 14 representatives on 18- — hour duty during the state fair, and again found no evidence of LP gas. The indictment, which was highly colored, mentioned the number of people who had used the building in the last few years, giving the impression that they had not been “protected.” The indictment blamed Anderson because he did not ask for a higher budget for the state fire marshal’s office from the state legislature last year. This was about the depth of political low-blows ever dealt an Indiana official. , Why? Because the reason for low budgets in Indiana government has nothing to do with what any one official requests — it is the fault of every citizen of Indiana who has ever complained about his “taxes” without due reflection on what his complaint really means. Yes, if we expect this state to operate on a shoestring, and it is quite obvious that most of us do, then we just have to shoulder the primary blame ourselves when bur “shoestring” proves too weak to hold up. - Any dearly-thinking person familiar with the state would realize only too well that to blame the head of a rather obscure agency ..for not asking an Indiana legislature for more money — when it took a special session to get any money out of it — is only playing politics. Until Hoosiers grow up and accept their own responsibility for government, and stop trying to shift responsibility for it to others, Indiana will just have to limp along as best it can.

DECATUR HIGH SCHOOL By Marilyn Knudsen

- The freshman and senior class- 1 es have, been issued forms to be authorized by parents so the students may be given tests for tuberculosis. As the principal, Mr. Andrews, stated, tuberculosis wps formerly one of the greatest causes of death in the United States, but because of tests for early detection, it has been largely arrested. Hoping to prevent contagion, school officials urge 100 per cent participation in both classes. — D. H. S. — As guests of the Rotary club last Thursday, Mr. Kelly presented the eight girls selected from his speech class to complete in the finals of the Rotarian competition. Later in the evening, the girls each presented a speech on “Free Enterprise,” with Jane Burk-be-ing judged the winner. Next the selected boys of the speech class will present their Rotary speeches Thursday. — D. H. S. — Os all the teachers at D. H. S., there is one who is high among the students’ favorites. Even though he never attends a faculty tea, and never shows school spirit by attending a D. H. S. game, it can also be said that he has never reprimanded a student here. Coming via television. Mr. John Dickie makes American history come alive to the juniors by using scenery appropriate to the lesson and by showing the type of culture prevalent in the period being studied with songs and amusing anecdotes. A warm wit and a tiple (that is an educated ukelele,) can do much to encourage interest. — D. H. S. — Well, Berne has been and Berne has left. Ahead at the end of the first quarter, the Jackets,’ fighting fiercely, slowly lost ground in the varsity game. For the B team, however, the night was a big success. - D. H. S. — “Io Saturnalia,” “Joyeux Noel,” and “Froeliche Weinachten und Glueckliges Neues Jahr” constitute the themes for Latin. French,,, and German Christmas cards, respectively. Under the tutelage of .Miss VeraMjUnand French l and Miss Weidler (German), the classes will make the Yuletide greeting which will later be dismayed on the hall bulletin boards. — D. H. S. — What more can anyone say? Around D. H. S., the county, the district, and the zone, everyone is filled with admiration for John Custer, who is one of four entrants left for the American .Legion speech contest of the state of Indiana December 14. Mr. Kelly, the speech instructor, will accompany John to Terre Haute for the competition. - D. H S. - ‘ Over the nation, in high schools, the SAT (scholastic aptitude test) was taken last Saturday. In Decatur, Mr. Dorwin, assisted by Mrs. Schnepf, Mr. Andrews, and Mr. Kelly administered, the test to 117 students from three area counties who will use it as part of their college entrance records or to obtain scholarships at Indiana colleges. ' — D. H. S. - When the report cards were distributed Tuesday of last week, the buzzing in the corridors seemed cheerful. With a large honor roll, it appears that the reason was the students’ satisfaction from the acknowledgment of their Endeavors, rather than antipathy and lack of concern. - D. H. S. - As the Christmas season approaches. an air of festivity pervades the school and the choir members who are rehearsing for the annual Christmas program under the direction of Miss Haub6ld. Festooning the halls are isnowy decorations prepared by Mr. Feasel and the art department. — D. H.
