DE PAUW SURVEY FAVORS COURSE IN SEX HYGIENE Students’ Votes Also Back Voluntary Class Attendance. Times fiprrlnl GREENCASTLE, Ind., Feb. 10.— De Pauw University students want a sex hygiene course and voluntary class attendance, a poll of 280 students indicated. A course in sex hygiene was approved by a vote of 245 to 14, and optional class attendance for upperclassmen was favored by 239, while 37 voted for the present “cut” system. The poll was conducted by the American Student Union, new campus group. Other votes definitely favored scholastic honorary societies, a general survey course in science, honor work in all departments, full credit for courses such as last year’s war and peace seminar and second semester final examinations for seniors during the week preceding the regular examination period. A majority opposed lifting the foreign language graduation requirement. More men than women, more seniors than any other classmen and more ’’B” students than those of any other grade-class voted in the poll. Harlan McGregor today had assumed new duties as instructor in economics at De Pauw University. He replaces Dr. William A. Neiswangrr, recently granted a semester's leave of absence. Mr. McGregor comes to De Pauw from lowa, where he served on the lowa State Planning Board. He received both his A. B. and his M. A. degrees from the University of lowa, and now is working on his doctor’s degree. He is 24. Vital Statistics Marriage Licenses Arnold H.

Firemen Forget Pinochle to Get Ready for Fred Kennedy’s Silver Anniversary

They Agree He’s Best in Service, but Won’t Be Quoted. BY TOM OCHILTREE There wasn't much pinochle being played at the engine houses today; the fire laddies were too busy shining up equipment and getting their uniforms in shape. Nobody ordered them to do this. They just want to be sure everything will be all right tomorrow when Fire Chief Fred C. Kennedy, their boss and hero, completes his 25 years of service in the department. He occupies an unusual position in the organization. All the boys will tell you he is one of the greatest “smoke eaters” that ever answered an alarm, but they won’t be quoted on that. Nobody wants to cut in on the chief’s publicity. When firemen develop that much reticence, you can get a rough idea of what they think of their leader. Many Thrills Since Then A lot of fires and thrills have gone Into the department’s musty records since Chief Kennedy joined the famous old “Number Sixes” 25 years a no. He was in on mast of the big ones. Chief Kennedy said he signed up with the department because he liked horses. He used to drive an ice wagon as a boy, but that was too tame. Every time a fire wagon went by the hair used to stand up on the back of his neck. Finally he joined the department and served as relief driver for Lieut. John Meadows, a legendary figure in fire fighting history. When a rookie walked into his house, Lieut. Meadows used to bellow, “Son! We either are going to make a chief out of you or send you to the bug house.” Then he would walk away with great dignity. He Wasn’t Far Wrong At that, Lieut. Meadows wasn’t far wrong. The majority of chiefs in the department have been former “Six” men. All of Chief Kennedy’s present staff did a turn of duty there, and thev all were melancholy when the station was taken out of service a year and a half ago. For six years, Chief Kennedy drove that famous bay-iunning team, Tom *nd Jerry. Those prancing chargers were the kind of horses firemen used to dream about. When a box hit, they pulled a piece of apparatus in style. “We had big fires then,” Chief Kennedy said. “It seems as only yesterday that we went racing to the Van Camp Packing Cos. fire, but that was 23 years ago. Then there was the time we rolled to the Big Four freight house, the Beveridge Paper Cos. and the Glazier Furniture Cos., but I guess you don’t remember those.” Three Months in Hospital The boys making the runs now are proud of the fact their chief isn’t an armchair fireman. He has spent a total of three months in the hospital recovering from various injuries during his years of service. To men in his vocation that rates the same as having a Croix de Guerre with four palms. At the Indianapolis Athletic Club

fire in 1927 he was blinded temporarily and badly burned, and at the Republic Creosote factory blaze he tripped over a hose line and spent six weeks in the hospital recovering from acid burns. He also helped figftt the fire at the Industrial Building in 1918. It lasted eight days, spread to 23 houses and a church and damaged $1,400,000 worth of property. It was the largest fire in the city’s history.

GOVERNOR TRACES STOCK FRAUD CURBS Tells of 1935 Laws in Radio Address. Indiana’s progress in curbing security frauds was traced by Gov. McNutt yesterday in his weekly radio message. The 1935 Legislature “plugged holes in the security law through which confidence men were sapping savings of investors,” Gov. McNutt said. Pointing out that the State Securities Commission is self-sustain-ing, Gov. McNutt said: “In the field of securities fraud prevention is of greater benefit to the people generally than the punishment of offenders after the crime has been committed and the innocent and

Old timers notice a difference in the chief. When he was a driver, he used to watch the box and hope it would hit. Today he dreads to hear one come in. because a fire means a loss, and his record is better the less fires this city has. He goes on all second alarms, but like most old-timers he doesn’t think it is as much fun now that the horses are gone.

gullible have suffered. Thus the controlling purpose and main objective of the Indiana securities law and its administration is to protect the investors of Indiana by driving out of business every person, firm or corporation that conducts the business of selling securities unfairly or fraudulently. CHEMISTS MAP DINNER Annual Affair Friday to Incluue Ball, Informal Talk. The American Chemical Society is to hold its annual dinner and ball in the Indianapolis Athletic Club Friday. Asa N.

Dr. Martin Fisher, Cincinnati, is to speak informally on “Chemistry and Painting.” BLACK-DRAUGHT A Laxative That Thousands Prefer Black-Draught has helped so many men and women that others, needing a purely vegetable laxative, should have no hesitancy in trying it. Block-Draught relieves constipation in an easy, natural way. “We have found Black-Draught so satisfactory, I do not see any need to change,” writes Mr. Ralph Burch, of Black, Ala. “I take Black-Draught for billiousness and constipation which make me feel sluggish, tired and no account. Black-Draught surely will relieve me.” The proper use of this old, reliable laxative tends to leave the bowels acting regularly. Be sure to try it!
