Group To Mass Invest In Bear Market On Friday
DePauw University students will strike another blow for capitalism and higher education this week. Though taking a beating from a bullish stock market since a mass investment earlier this year, students will tackle a bearish mart this time, hoping to accentuate the earn in the leam-and-earn theory. The newest opportunity to do collegiate battle with the stock market comes Friday at 3:30 p.m. in Asbury Hall. To be offered in the program are the common stocks of 19 corporations and the preferred stocks of seven others. Each student will be able to buy but one share of stock. Brokers for the event will be the Indianapolis branch of Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith. The brokerage fees and other related assessments incurred by the student buyers will be absorbed by a $4,000 fund created at DePauw by Chicago industrialist Col. Henry Crown. The first campus-wide opportunity for investment was initiated February, 4, 1966, in conjunction with the non-profit Shallway Foundation of Connellsville, Pa. The Foundation’s purpose is to educate young people about the stock market and encourage investment in it. Its DePauw venture was its first on the collegiate level. In the mass investment experiment in February 74 persons voluntarily paid out $3,800 in 80 minutes for shares of 16 different corporations. The average outlay was $51.00. Fate was not kind to those first round buyers. The market value of 14 of the proffered stocks has plummeted an average of $9. Half (seven) of them have cost their collegiate owners over $10. TTiough appreciated values and a sound knowledge of investment procedures are goals of the DePauw programs, there are at least two more aims, according to economics Professor J. P. Allen. He expects students who get into the program to find a form for discussing the problems of capital investment, plus even more practical experience in managing an already established portfolio of stocks purchased with Crown fund money. The mass purchases to be conducted in room 212 of Asbury Hall Friday is open to students, faculty members, and university staff. Brokerage costs, however, will be paid for students only.

straight night.
Roving bands of Negroes — many numbering up to 100 persons — began smashing windows and attacking bystanders following a Congress of Racial Equality sponsored rally at po-
lice headquarters.
The Wednesday night rally
was in protest of the slaying last Saturday of Russell Hayes, 24, a Negro, robbery suspect
from East St. Louis, HI. A coroner’s jury Wednesday
returned a verdict of "justifiable homicide” in a hearing that was marred by incidents even though police had barred the meeting room to angry demon-
strators.
The marauding bands threw stones at passersby, smashed windows and car windshields, and walked over the tops of cars as they meandered along
their way.
Three persons were taken to city hospital No. 1, including a white couple intercepted by a
Highway 43 Included In Road Bidding The Indiana State Highway: Commission has opened bids from contractors totaling $14.6 million, setting the stage for a new calendar year record in contract awards to be established sometime in October. As soon as the highway commission awards and the Federal Bureau of Public Roads concurs with the $14.6 million in low bids, $137,8 million will have been awarded since January, 1966. The old record of $128.8 million set in 1963 will be remaining in 1966 to further the record this year. A contract has been awarded to Studebaker Construction Company, Logansport, amounting to $1,443,380 for a hot asphaltic concrete surface and two structures and demolition of 4.2 miles of State Road 43, from Cloverdale north to U.S. 40. Also, in Putnam County, no contract has been let yet, but a proposed prestressed concrete I beam carrying county road (West Walnut Street) over Little Walnut creek, 3.5 miles west of Gre^ncastle, is under construction. Construction date of the two above contracts has been tentative set for early next spring. Deputy Sheriffs Report Mishaps

Rice estimated the damage at $250 to the Ohio car and $50 to the pickup. The second accident, at 7:15 a.m., occurred at the Mallory Plant driveway on Ind. 240, just east of the city. Mason reported that Betty Day, Cloverdale, Route 1, was entering the drive in a 1959 Plymouth as Clifford D. Wuertz, city, was coming out in a 1966 Chevrolet.

Marines Push Attack On Cong SAIGON UPI — Furiously fighting U.S. Marines routed a North Vietnamese force from a key hill commanding strategic Communist infiltration routes today and then attacked a second heavily fortified hills
fortress.
The dogged Leathernecks pushed on despite serious shortages of ammunition and water. Enemy fire was so heavy supply helicopters had difficulty reaching them. Some of the wounded refused evacuation and returned to the battle.
Gov. George C. Wallace and an outspoken foe of the Johnson administration’s “Great Society,” swept aside former Gov. Ellis Arnall ,a moderate, in an upset. Maddox will face Republican Rep. Howard (Bo) Callaway in the GOP’s most serious bid to capture the state in this century. The Wednesday contest was a runoff between Maddox and Arnall who led a six-man field in a Sept. 14 Democratic primary. In that contest, Arnall outpolled Maddox by a margin of about 45,000 votes. Maddox rolled up a vote of 419,557 to 356,078 for Arnall with 1,742 of 1,908 precincts reported. The figures also showed Maddox to have swept all but 13 of 123 counties from which final totals were available.

MIAMI UPI—Hurricane Inez* murderous 160 - mile - per-hour winds screamed into the tinshacked southern mountains of Santo Domingo today and buffeted the capital of Santo pomingo with powerful gales. The storm thundered across the Barahona Peninsula, the defenseless southern tip of Hispanola, and made for valleys where it could funnel up into
the heart of Haiti.
On the French island of Guadeloupe the killer storm claimed at least 15 lives and left 6,000 homeless Tuesday. As Inez slashed the eight million residents of Hispanola, sister tropical storm Judith trailed about 1,000 miles to the southeast. Judith was located about 300 miles east of Barbados on the eastern fringe of
