The Attack On The Anthem

For several months our s’ ttional Anthem has been unFr attack It all started when 16-year-old Joae Feliciauv gave “soul" rendition of the Anthem preceding the fifth time of the world series. Something shook up the St. ►uis Cardinals that day. They * ored 3 runs in the top of the •ust. and didn't do anything 'he rest of the day, losing 5-3. Whether nr not it was the Feliciano rendition which did die trick is hard t* say. but -here is no doubt that u lot of people were rubbed the wrong Way. Still a recording by the hirnd Puerto Rican later be- • one a top-seller. and he now begins every public perform<nce with his “soul" rendition of the Star Spangled Banner". Many personalities have iumped into the controversy. Frank Sinatra has called it "a ’■errible pie. e of music."

Whitcomb s busy week end included .several other vetoed bill- which appear to be a little "out". One included the commissi ri to study the Indiana outdated constitution and thiis the one thing that is keeping Indiana mostly in hor*‘ and buggy laws in this jet age. The General Assembly displayed more sense by their amendments to the constitution, of which will appear on the ballots in 1970 for the public to vote on. One. as before mentioned. is the amendment making annual sessions of legislature the case instead es the every other year sessions that keeps the state behind the Umes Only time will tell what will result in the four years of Whitcomb’s reign. But it appeurs after less than three months that four yeara could b«? "something else.” O mini on sense seems to be in the back seat to personal feelings and promises at this time. Sometime in the near future, changes will have to be made.

Richard Rodgers is on record as saying that “tradition is more important than simplicity." in answer tn those who protest the difficulty of singing of the song is not the issue. “It’s the symbol of our great nation and that’s all there is to it." Meantime, a national magazine is conducting a poll, with coupons for voting, on whether W not the anthem should be changed -- and to what The results are to be submitted to the Congress, the magazine proudly proctelms If - you feel st-ongly about this, we’d suggert \x>u write your Congressman and Senator.

The weather phenomenon that is a tornado is a paradox. It is the shortest yet the most violent of all wind-; and its destructive path is rather small The worwt tornado that hit Indiana was on April 11, 1965. Palm Sunday, when 141 hoosiers were killed. The Palm Sunday tornadoes were .second only to a 1925 >«erles of tornadoes that whipped through Indiana, Illinois and Misj«»uri killing 689 persons Moreover, persons are urged to listen to the radio and television and most of all don't panic. —MS G — Weather folklore has handed down a number <»f proverbs attesting to the prognastie perceptn»n of insects, the most persistent of which concerns the ant. In recent years, a Harvard scientist investigated the movements of ants under temperatures, he found that the higher the temperature, the more swiftly they moved, and. conversely, the cooler it became, the slower their pace.
