Students From Dominican
Republic To Visit DePauw Dr slKW *" 1
GREENCASTLE y INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1966 Indiana Sesquicentennial Year 10< Per Copy
NO. 6
For the second consecutive year DePauw University students have been picked by the U.S. State Department to play a role in Latin American affairs. Ten young high school students from the Dominican Republic will arrive on the Greencastle campus Thursday for a five-day look at an American university. DePauw is to be the only collegiate stop on the Dominicans’ 30-day American tour that started last week at the U.N. in New York City and winds up Nov. 22 in Miami, Fla. Vicki Semler, DePauw senior from Evansville, is serving as co-ordinator for the Caribbean visitors’ stay. Miss Semler studied in Columbia, S.A., last semester on a DePauw program and taught English briefly at Bogata’s political hotbed, National University. Most of DePauw’s Spanish speaking students and faculty have been marshalled to meet and entertain the group which ranges in age from 17 to 24. None of the guests speak English, but they will be accompanied by a State Department interpreter and escort officer. Operating out of the university’s Intercultural Center, the Dominicans will see more of DePauw and Americana in five days than their hosts will have seen in a semester. The schedule includes a silent , art movie, a campus tour, classroom visits, a discussion of Latin American relations, and a visit to a scientific swine farm near Bainbridge. While on the campus the students’ hosts will be eight fraternities. Saturday night the international action will shift to an authentic campus-wide fiesta party hosted by Spanish-speak-ing students and faculty. Other stops include glimpses of the student publication building and radio station, lunch Sunday at campus sororities, a tour of the Greencastle Coca-Cola Bottling Company, and a conference with members of the university. The ten students’ international and U.S. travel is being provided by funds authorized by the State Department. Their program, which also includes stops in Washington, Saginaw, Mich.; Los Angeles, and Houston .is arranged by the International Exchange Program of the National Social Welfare Assem-
bly.
DePauw last year entertained, at the request of the State Department, a group of students from Bolivia. Members of the Dominican group arriving Thursday afternoon include Ramon Pimental, 24; Carlos Sanchez. 18; Jose Valverde, 18; Nestor Puente, 18; Romulo Suarez, 17; Luis Martinez, 18; Adriano Reyes, 20; Juan Jorge, 19; Hector Lama, 19; and Roberto Castillo, 18. Education Week November 6-12 Once again the schools of Greencastle will be in the spotlight as parents visit their children’s classrooms during American Education Week, November 6-12. Sponsored annually by the National Education Association, The American Legion, the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, and the U. S. Office of Education, American Education Week reminds each citizen that good schools are, to a very high degree, his own responsibility. This year, the theme for the week’s activities is “Education Adds Up” and 32 million parents across the country are expected to visit their schools to see how education adds up. 20 Years Ago Marriage license: Richard Eugene Lemmink and Anita Mae Handy, both of Greencastle.

Annual Affair The 12th Annual
WASHINGTON UPI—A giant Russian spacecraft — perhaps a spy-in-the-sky satellite — blew up in space shortly after it was launched Sept. 17. The disclosure came in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s latest “satellite situation report” which catalogues the objects in orbit.
The report also said three small objects of unknown origin have been circling the earth for the past several months. Scientists generally agreed they were debris from some space launching, but do not know
which one.
There was some speculation the three mystery objects might be meteoroids, but scientists said this was highly unlikely since two of them were in the
same orbital path.

CLEVELAND UPI —Medical testimony about the brutal na- j ture of the blows to the head j with which Marilyn Sheppard | was killed was expected today j in the state’s first full day of ■ presenting the evidence it hopes will send her husband back to
jail for life.
The state opened its case late Tuesday with a prosecutor’s statement that was a simple i recounting of events surround-, ing the murder, with no hint of j motive. The opening statement of 12 years ago said Dr. Samuel! H. Sheppard probably killed her after an argument about his amorous affairs. But the defense opening state by F. Lee Bailey in the retrial of the osteopathic brain surgeon was a soft-voiced declaration of hard-hitting offense. It was that circumstantial evidence might indicate the 31-year-old, pregnant Marilyn died at the hand of a lefthanded woman wielding a 12-
inch flashlight.
The defense counselor said he would prove the killer was not “some strange intruder” but somebody familiar with the Sheppard house who came through an unlocked door or “had a key and had had one for
some time.”
Dr. Sheppard was convicted of the July 4, 1954, murder in a trial here that ended on Dec. 21 of that year with a life sentence for second-degree murder. A federal judge took him out of prison two years ago, after he had served nearly 10 years, by granting a habeas corpus mo-
tion.

Fall Event In Fillmore Gym The Fillmore Band Parents are again sponsoring their annual Fall smorgasbord Saturday, Nov. 5th, in the Fillmore High School gym. Serving will start at 6 p.m. This has become an annual event in the Fillmore community, and one that the whole county enjoys. Starting at 6:30 and continuing throughout the entire evening the bands wil play. Starting out with the Beginning Band from Fillmore and then the Beginning Band from Belle Union, these two groups are 4th grade students and It is amazing to see what these young people can do with only two months
training.
Next, the Junior Band will play and it consists of students from the 5th through the 7th grades. The Senior Band will wind up the festivities. This band has practiced this summer and has participated in the Fillmore Frolics, the Belle Union Fish Fry, the Fillmore Fireman’s Barbecue, and the Fair on the Square (with the Reelsville Band) placing third. Also at the DePauw University Band Day. These four bands are under the very able direction of Robert Haas. Other entertainment is being planned and there will be prizes
awarded.

Cong Battalion Routed By Yanks SAIGON UPI — American warplanes returned in great force to North Viet Nam Tuesday, flying through heavy antiaircraft fire to hit targets near Hanoi and Haiphong. In the ground war U.S. Air Cavalrymen routed a Communist battalion along the northeast coast today. One Navy A4 Skyhawk jet from the carrier Franklin D. Roosevelt was shot down by ground fire and the pilot was listed as missing in action in the raids, heaviest since the monsoon rains hit the north. The planes flew 122 missions — well below the record 173 of Oct. 13.

Just eight hours before he departed from Seoul, six American soldiers and one South Korean army man were attacked and killed by Communist North Korean troops south of the demilitarized zone dividing the country.
