The time is near for the renewal
of our subscription to the Courier.
We would not like to miss an
edition so am enclosing check
herewith.
Congratulations on your fight
for a cleaner and more progressive

Georgia, so I will say I wish you
success with your enthusiastic
fight for winter sports.
I would like a map showing the
Sen. Russell Highway and local
points of interest, if available.

HE IS RISEN
Mary and Mary Magdalene
Came to the tomb,
Their faces were sad, their hearts
Full of gloom.
“He is not here, He has risen,”
A glad voice said;
They saw an angel at the

He bade them “Come see where
The Lord lay!”
We know the gladness this
Easter Day;
They know when the stone
Was rolled away.

The Bill - How Far
Does If Reach?
GARNER, IOWA, LEADER: —
“Civil Rights Bill: The bill that is
currently being considered by our
federal legislators needs a great
deal of study and corrective amend¬
ment. It would be really drastic
if it is passed in its present form.
There is no question that the
measure would grant sweeping
powers to the President and his
Attorney General. This editor is of
the opinion that if the bill is passed
in its present from; then the people
of this nation are in for some real
regimentation. The bill is built
around the word, ‘discrimination.’
The bill does not define this word,
but it does define the word, ‘de¬
segregation,’ at length — and, the
majority of the lay people feel
this is the only subject the bill
deals with — but, study it over
and find out ju9t how far reaching
it really is.”

Electrical Hazards
During Spring Clean-Up at your
home, keep an eye open for trouble
causing electrical defects.
This is good fire safety advice
from the National Fire Protection
Association which points out that
about one of seven fires in homes
stems from electrical causes.
Here are some check points to
help you:
1. Look for frayed insulation and
loose connections on lamp and ex¬
tension cords, especially the out
of-sight ones under sofas and be¬
hind bureaus. Repair or replace
immediately.
2. Cords under rugs are a very
real hazard. Traffic and vacuum¬
ing over this spot will wear and
fray cord insulation. Find another
safe way to reach an outlet, or
have a new outlet installed.
3. Get rid of cords over nails
and hooks, for same reason. Attics
and basements are likely spots for
this dangerous practice.
4. Check the fuse box to make
sure you are using only 15-amp.
fuses, exoeirt on special circuits
designed for heavier load. Never
overfuse!
37 Indiana Collegians
Held After 9-Floor
'Orgy' in Hotel
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (AP) —
Thirty-seven college students,
nearly half of them coeds, were
arrested early Sunday in a fra¬
ternity drinking party that ranged
over nine floors of a downtown
hotel.
A vice squad patrolman said,
“What they had was a regular
orgy.”
Fifteen coeds were charged with
entering the bedroom of a member
of the opposite sex. Charges against
the men included numerous counts
of disorderly conduct, entering a
bedroom and under-age drinking,
plus larceny and public indecency.
One student was arrested while
chasing a coed down a hallway in
his undershorts. Police said several
coeds were dressed in negligees or
less . The police paddy wagon made
nearly a dozen trips to the city
jail over a two-hour span.
All 37 spent the night in jail.
Two blondes wept on each other’s
shoulders as they were released on
bond Sunday morning.
One red-haired girl lamented:
“That’s what I always wanted, a
criminal police record. A good
thing to tell your kids — I spent
the night in the pokey, picked up
on sex charges. That slays me.”
Vice Squad Patrolman Robert
Gigure said the parties in various
rooms ranged from the mezzanine
to the ninth floor of the Claypool
Hotel, one of Indianapolis’ best
known hotels.
Gigure, who described the party
as an orgy, said, “We would have
had to get a pickup truck to haul
all the beer cans away.”
Police said those arrested came
from Indiana, Purdue and DePauw
universities and Hanover and Wa¬
bash colleges.
