Fire prevention week

’'EMt -A i • vv

Fire hurts Charles Watkins Fire Chief Proclaimed by the President of The United States this week is nationally sponsored by the National Fire Protection Association. Fire Prevention Week this year emphasizes that Fire Hurts and that Fire Prevention is the business and duty of everyone. The Greencastle Fire Department at this time wants to encourage all citizens to take a good look at their own homes and to think Fire Safety for their families. The winner of our Junior High School slogan contests says it perfectly, “Dreams of tomorrow may be ruined by Fire today.” The hopes and dreams of 12,200 people are taken by fire yearly. Each year 2,100 of these lost dreams are children lost in home fires and one out of three were left alone. The Greencastle Fire Department urges all parents to leave their children only in the hands of reliable mature baby sitters who know what to do if an emergency strikes. The grade school slogan winner puts it very well in his slogan, “Be sure you know what to do if fire catches up with you”. Can you honestly say your home is Fire Safe? Would your family know what to do if a fire occurred during the night? Each and every home should have a pre-planned fire evacuation plan and at least two ways to reach the outside in the event fire may have an exit blocked. Think citizens of Greencastle! The thought of Fire safety may save the lives of your loved ones. Over 600,000 homes are lost or damaged yearly in this country. Are your children sleeping in a home that has far too many dangerous Fire hazards? Think Fire Safety and live. Charles Watkins, Fire Chief Fire Prevention Week Oct. 6th. to 12th. Whereas, October 9, 1968 marks the ninety seventh year since the great Chicago fire. The fire which happened in 1871 is the only major conflagration whose anniversary is marked by an international observance. Fire Prevention Week Proclaimed each year by the President of the United States. Whereas, To accord official recognition to this memorable anniversary And to guarantee the continuence of recognition of such an important and publit minded occasion. Seems fitting and proper. Therefore, Now, I Norman Peabody by virtue of the authority vested in me as Mayor of the City of Greencastle, in the State of Indiana do hereby proclaim the week of October 6, 1968 as Fire Prevention Week And urge all citizens to pay special attention to the meaning of Fire Prevention. For the safety of themselves and their families In witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the City to be affixed at Greencastle, this 6th day in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and sixth eight.

19 students subpoenaed in voting dispute by SHAUN HIGGINS Staff Reporter Nineteen students were scheduled to appear before Putnam County Circuit Court Judge Francis N. Hamilton this morning to testify in a dispute of their right to register to vote in Putnam County. The hearing was to start at 9 a.m. in the Courthouse. In a phone interview last night DePauw University Student, Jim Putnam, head of the Student Legal Committee which appropriated $1,000 to finance attorney’s fees involved with the student case, said he would be glad to see the issue settled and clarified for everybody. Putnam spoke before the Indiana University Student Senate last Thursday concerning the DePauw situation. I.U. students are being challenged by Monroe County officials. When members of the 19 person group were questioned yesterday about why they were being subpoenaed most did not know. The subpoenas read, “ The Sheriff of Putnam County: You are hereby commanded to summon (name of student), and he is ordered to bring current driver’s license and certificate of registration to any motor vehicle in his possession in Putnam County.” One of the ussues involved in the case centers around the fact that most students do not pay property tax in Putnam County. Students say they do not own taxable property either here or in the town of their origin. The case is being brought by Circuit Court Clerk Ennis E. Masten. Students have been subpoenaed as defendents and witnesses in the hearing. All students have been placed on silence by their attorney, Donald Fasig, Indianapolis. They have l>een told not to comment, either privately or publicly concerning the case. However, several of the students indicated frustration because they do not understand the subpoenas. One student, who asked not to be identified stated, “I assume they will challenge my registration because only registered voters are getting subpoenaed. But the subpoena did not say why I was asked to appear. I was at supper when it came. I found it in my mailbox with no explanation.” Clerk Masten himself signed the summons which were issued.

promote even more fellowship.” Under the leadership of Mrs. John Wilson, Interest Group Coordinator, the following groups are being offered: ARTS AND CRAFTS, led by Mrs. Robert Weiss; BOOK GROUP, Mrs. Dan Smith; BRIDGE, Mrs. Morse Baughn and Mrs. Wilbur EberSOle; COMMUNITY SERVICE, Mrs. Pat Aikman and Mrs. James Martindale; CREATIVE WRITING, Mrs. Frank Darling; DRAMA, Mrs. James Gammon; GOURMET, Mrs. William Meehan; KNITTING AND SEWING, Mrs. Jospeh Elias; and SLIMNASTICS, Mrs. Thomas Continued on Pag^l

Hogate Hall dedication Fri.

A college dormitory for women that represents a pioneering concept in housing among Midwestern schools will be dedicated Friday, Oct. 11 at DePauw University. Hogate Hall, with itsaccord-ian-like configuration, offer s, according to one architect, suite living probably unique among collegiate residence halls in the Middle West. “Suite arrangements have been used in Eastern Schools for some

time,” architect Lloyd Gadau of Chicago said, “but because of local peculiarities and tastes, the scheme has not caught on in the Midwest.” The $1.6 million airconditioned, full carpeted structure holds its 24 suites on its three upper floors. Six women live in each suite of five rooms. One of the five rooms in each cluster is a private study-lounge outfitted with easy chairs, tables, lamps, a telephone, built-in book

shelves, a writingdesk, and stack stools. “Hogate Hall is a departure because most college dormitories are built with a doubleloaded corridor (rooms on both sides). This building attempts to break away from the tradi. tional concept.” Gadau said. The architect from the Chicago firm of Holabird & Root said Hogate's planners took a cue from sociologists. “Sociologists say that the ideal

Public invited

to Hogate Open House Sunday Dear Residents of the Greencastle Community: No new building is complete until its occupants have moved in and claimed it, through the acts of dally living, as their own. The women of Hogate Hall on the DePauw University campus have finally taken this step. After several years of plans, discussions, blueprints, and a great deal of excitement, we find ourselves actually living in “the new dorm.” It is difficult to sum up and convey our feelings at this point, but certainly happiness, pride, and a strong enthusiasm might best describe our mood. Yet, there is one step more that we must take in making Hogate our home - - - we need to share it with friends. Therefore, on behalf of all the Hogate Hall women, I would like to invite the Greencastle community, including the DePauw faculty and staff, to come and visit with us on South Locust Street during our open house, Sunday, October 13, between the hours of 2:30 and 4:30 p.m. We look forward to seeing you Sunday. Sincerely, Constance Zalewski Hogate Hall President This is one ofthree open houses scheduled by Hogate Hall. Alumni returning for Old Gold Day will have an open house Oct. 12. DePauw students will attend an open house Oct. 19.

Receives high academic

ranking

WOOSTER, OHIO Of those full-time students studying on The College of Wooster campus during the .second semester of the last academic year, the following student received a point average grade of 3.50 to 4.00 for the courses taken during that semester according to the list just published by the office of Dr. F. W. Cropp, Dean of the College. - The local student was Anne E. Dozer, daughter of Mrs. Russell S. Dozer, 101 DePauw Ave., Greencastle, Indiana^

number of persons for a small social grouping is about six. We settled on that figure and went to work to design a building to complement this arrangement. The outcome was accomodations for 144 women. “The main thing that has happened in Hogate is that there has been a great amount of concern for the people who are using it. We have thought about trying to scale it down to residential appearance. We tried to give it more of a human quality.” Gadau stressed. As a consequence of the humanizing effort, architects and university personnel who worked on the design feel they have created, as Gadau puts it, “a building that doesn’t unfold at once.” No big institutional, public expanses swallow up the residents. No endless hallways carry the clatter of feet or stretch the eye more than 15 paces. “Mass” movement and “mass” activities are not a part of the hall’s architectural philosophy. It is geared to privacy. There are multi-dlnlng areas grouped about an enclosed cafeteria line. There are multi-pub-lic lounge spaces, wedded to other “people” areas by walls of glass or to a landsaped brick patio and mall in the rear.’ On the carpeted main floor are a library, television lounge, spacious adviser’s suite and office, kitchens, cooks dining

room and bicycle porches. Careful planning makes most areas accessible from several directions. No longer must a coed with her hair up, her face off, or her robe on parade self-consciously through public areas to do her laundry, use public phones, patronize vending machines, consult a reference work, or play her roommate a quiet game of ping pong. Below the main floor an assignment of space gives dates ample entertainment area with tables and booths. On the other hand, non-daters aren’t deprived equal, simultaneous recreation. An adjoining area, accessible directly from the upper four floors by elevator, will accommodate game areas. In trying to give the hall a human quality, Gadau said the effect has been to make it something like a home—a rather elegant one at that. Upstairs in the living quarters coeds will have many of those homey conveniences. Every coed's wardrobe nowadays contains substantial drip-dry clothes. Appropriately each floor has its drying room and Ironing room. Mini-kitchens, known as fudge kitchens in the college vernacular, are on each floor. Each is equipped with burners, sinks, cabinets, and garbage disposals. Storage and closet space that rival in volume that of an average size American home is planned into each suite. Each coed Continued on Page 6
