Announce Plans For Improving Girls'School f

INDIANAPOLIS (UPD-Gov-ernor Welsh announced longrange plans Monday to improve the physical surroundings of Indiana Girls School with a $3 million replacement program. But most of the problems contributing to a riot there last week remained unsettled. State Police Supt. George Everett released a copy of a report made by Lt. Fred E. Lee who headed a 35-man contingent assigned to handle the riot. The report was critical of the lack of advance planning at the school at Clermont. "No plans whatsoever had been set up by the school officials to deal with the problem that confrontd them," the report said. "One hundred twenty girls were fighting among themselves, some fighting and some trying to restrain." The report also contained al-ready-publiciz.ed statement that "considerable evidence of homosexual activities” were observed by the officers after the inma’es were placed in five rooms" of a temporary security building. Welsh, S’ate Correction Commissioner Arthur Campbell and Girls School Supt. Mrs. Frieda Lyda shared a news conference Monday afternoon at the school following a tour by the governor, state officials and news reporters and photographers. Campbell and Mrs. Lyda were questioned about the statement that homosexuality played a part in setting off the riot. They said this was a problem at the school but Campbell said it was no greater a problem there than at any other penal institution. Later Mrs. Corinne Walker, principal of the Eliza Hendricks School at the Girls School, said that when she questioned the girls individually she found some indication that some of the girls were "play-acting’ ’in their participation in the riot. "It was too good a show to miss,” and “They expected us to put on a show so we did,” were individual comments she received. Welsh told- reporters that he now has come to the conclusion the conclusion the earlier recommendation made by the Indiana Department of Administration calling for replacement of all the buildings except the new school building, the chapel and the power plant was necessary- Estimated cost is $3 million. Campbell pointed out that this is al least three years in the future- and that the construction requests fqt the school have never received more than 53 pur cent approval by the legisIgiura and in IM9 got down to 3.0 per*cenj. Mrs. Lydg- said the fget that who had been confined, to -security building had io be transferred to cottage 4 because of repair needed on the locks contributed to the riot. Campbell disclosed that workmen ham been waiting for pig .weeks'for.'the nsw locks and said, "we are going to find out What happened to those locks."

to offer a foreign language by the 1965-66 school year; The latest available figures—from 1963—show that 231 of 729 high schools reporting offered no modern foreign language. However, the number drops to only 114 without a foreign language when Latin is included, she General Education Commission rule counts Latin as a foreign language qualifying for compliance. Amumes All Will Comply Miss Mullen, who succeeded Clemens L. Hallman, who left

occupied housing as well as build or improve their homes. They can use a housing loan to finance the cost of a building site as well as the dwelling. When they do not have enough repayment ability, they may use cosigners to assume loan payments. Other types of loans available throhgh FHA are emergency loans, watershed loans, rural renewal loans and rural areas development assistance. The Decatur office, where Mrs. Betty L. Rosier serves as county office clerk, is open daily, Monday through Friday, 8 a. m. to 4:30 p. m. Part-time office hours are kept by Norquest in the other three counties.

to join the staff of Pennsylvania high schools will be able to reason so far not to assume all meet the 1965 deadline on offering a foreign language. She said Spanish probably will be the language most frequently offered. But she recommended a much earlier start on study of foreign languages, and commented that in her opinion the idea of achieving a "universal language” is a vain hope. "A universal language is an artificial one,” she said. “I think you need to learn foreign languages to communicate with the people who speak that language.” Miss Mullen, an attractive : blond who taught foreign languages both in her native West I afaye*te and also in Marion County, said that she discovered “I was very satisfied with the transfer of my instruction to a foreign country.” She has traveled and worked in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Argentina and France and found no difficulty in being understood when she spoke the Spanish and French she had learned in Indiana. One reason Miss Mullen ' says Spanish will be the language most frequently offered is because more high school pupils took it last year in Indiana than any other subject, with Latin in second place, and French in third. The other reason is because a new supply of nearly 100 Spanish teachers is available to Indiana this year and next because of a project at Indiana State College. Cuban Group Trained She was a consultant for the first group of Cuban refugees trained at Indiana State as Spanish teachers. She said there were 47 in that group, most of whom were lawyers, but that nearly all of them were able to qualify as Spanish teachers and now have jobs in Indiana high schools. Another 50 Cuban refugees now are in training for the same course at Indiana State and are expected to .be available for jobs as Spanish teachers in 1965-66. ._

Miss Mullen said most of the refugee teachers went into high school work but she was hopeful more foreign would be taught in grade school. “Over 200 elementary schools have foreign languages, usually in the fourth grade,” she said. “This is due to the Midwest Program on Airborne Television Instruction based at Purdue University. It is very difficult to obtain teachers of foreign languages at the elementary
