Why are the classrooms in the L.A. Building locked during the hours the building is open?

According to Dr. Gordon Zimmerman, academic dean, rooms containing equipment, such as the Media Center, the language lab, and the psychology lab, are locked when no one is in attendance. The regular classrooms, however, are to be unlocked when the building is open so that students may study in those rooms. It is necessary to provide these places for study because of the overcrowded con­ditions and the inconduciveness to study of the library. There is no reason why the rooms should be locked, according to Dr. Zimmer­man, and every effort is being made to see that the situation is remedied.

What is the depreciation on a text sold back to the campus bookstore?

According to Robert Neideck, new manager of the Taylor book­store, the policy is the same as the one suggested by the National Association of College Stores. This policy states that the deprecia­tion on books is 50 per cent. Thus, a book selling for $1 is bought back for 500, a $10 book for $5, etc. No amount of marking or under­lining (or lack of it) varies this price. However, the value of books with torn pages or serious damage is left to the judgment of the bookstore manager. The resale value of used books is 75 per cent of the new price. This also is the policy of the National Association of College Stores.

In case of excess snow, ice or low temperature could the school ever be closed temporarily?

University President Milo Rediger explained that this situation could arise and closing has happened during his association with Taylor. A heavy ice storm or other conditions which might cause a power failure would close campus buildings which in turn would close the school. However, President Rediger stated that it would be unusual to close the school since approximately 90 per cent of the students live on campus and could get to classes.

lor's campus professional artists of the highest caliber.

The Gregg Smith Singers were highly acclaimed in Europe, but virtually unknown in this country until 1961, when they were award­ed the recording industry's Gram­my Award following "Charles Ives: Music for Chorus."

Gregg Smith's accomplishments with the Ithaca (New York) Col­lege Choir have been spectacular. The choir has toured Europe and appeared with Stravinsky for the premiere of the composer's "Re­quiem Canticles." In addition to many concert and recording dates, Gregg Smith is in demand as both a choral clinician and guest con­ductor.

In addition to his evening per­formance, Gregg Smith will hold a choral workshop in Maytag Gymnasium on Saturday after­noon from 1:45 to 4:45. He will be working separately with the South Adams High Choir from Berne, Indiana and the Taylor University Chorale. These work­shops will be open to the public.

Dr. Eva Gilger, missionary to Kenya, Africa, will speak in chapel Monday, Jan. 20. Since 1952, Miss Gilger has served in Kenya with World Gospel Mis­sion, an interdenominational mis­sionary organization with head­quarters in Marion, Indiana.

A native of Kansas, Miss Gil­ger felt the call of God to mission­ary service while attending Mil-tonvale Wesleyan Academy. She graduated from Marion College, Marion, Indiana, and received her master of arts degree from Ball State Teachers' College, Muncie, Indiana. She holds a doctor of philosophy degree in anthropo­logy from Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana.

Miss Gilger was situated at Tenwek, the main mission stat-tion, where she served as princi­pal of the intermediate school until the opening of Tenwek Sec­ondary School in 1959, when she became its principal. In addition to teaching in the classroom and caring for administrative work connected with the school, her ministry included purchasing sup­plies, directing the boarding de­partment, and giving spiritual

guidance to the students. Each year more than 2,000

boys apply to enter Tenwek Sec­ondary School and are screened for the 35 openings in the fresh­man class. The school maintains a high academic standing. In 1966 the graduating class, taking the Cambridge examination given in Commonwealth countries, had the rare distinction of a 100 per cent. pass.

Students Seek Lower Voting Age In Indiana

Indiana State Senator Sidney Kramer of Evansville has agreed to work with Hoosier college and university students in a cam­paign voicing collegiate support for lowering the Indiana voting age requirement.

A special committee of the Ball State University Student Senate will work closely with the Evansville legislator to unite stu­dents seeking lower voting age restrictions. Senator Kramer is sponsoring a voting age bill to be presented to the Indiana legisla­ture shortly after it convenes.

• The student movement is initial­ly ba?=d on personal contact with state senators and representa­tives. Students are encouraged to speak with legislators from their hometown areas, making their

support known to the lawmakers. On June 27 President Lyndon

Johnson asked Congress for a constitutional amendment en­franchising 18-year-olds. In all but four states the present voting age is 21. Georgia and Kentucky al­low 18-year-old citizens to vote. Alaska has a 19-year voting re­striction and Hawaii has a 20-year minimum.

Senator Kramer has a long history of work with younger segments of the Hoosier popula­tion, from serving as a Boy Scout committeeman to two years' ser­vice in the Governor's Youth Council. He is founder of Y.E.S., the Youth Employment Service providing jobs for young people.

The Ball State committee co­ordinating collegiate support plans a massive telegram cam­paign aimed at a particular key figure in the legislative handling of the bill. Telegrams bearing the names of students from through­out the state will be sent to that individual at a critical time just prior to actual vote on the bill.

Participation by student gov­ernments and campus newspapers is being united to prove that col­lege students have an interest in state government and desire a lowered voting age in Indiana.

Prof . Frankens te in ' s Hated Purple Monsters E d i t o r ' s n o t e : T h e f o l l o w i n g c o l u m n i s r e p r i n t e d f r o m t h e J u l y 9 , 1 9 6 8 B a l l S t a t e N e w s .

Herewith is another unwritten chapter from that unpublished reference work, "A History of the World, 1950-1999." Its title: "The Coming of the Purple Monsters."

By the late 1960s civilization appeared doomed. Blacks rioted against Whites at home. Whites warred on Yellows in far-away lands.

At the very least, it seemed no city would go unburned. A world­wide race war looked likely.

In a secret castle high in the Catskills far from the madding (cq) throng, Dr. Progley Frankenstein worked with grim determina­tion in his lonely laboratory, carrying forward the experiments be­gun in his family generations before.

With feverish haste and gleaming eyes, he transplanted hearts, livers, brains, kidneys and assorted chicken parts. At last, on a dark and stormy night as lightning played on the windows, he pulled a switch.

"My monster, my life's work," he cried triumphantly, "it lives!" "Frankly," said Mrs. Frankenstein with a sniff, "it doesn't look

like much to me. First of all, it's got oogly purple skin. And that im­possible orange hair. And those hideous clothes. And that peculiar smell. And those wily eyes. And that Stupid brain. And that shift­less gait. And that acquisitive nose. And that..."

"Exactly," said Dr. Frankenstein proudly. And he ushered the creature out the back door.

Thanks to mass production, Dr. Frankenstein produced no fewer than 7,632,597 of the creatures in record time, all of which he ushered out the back door. He then burned his notes, destroyed his laboratory and vanished.

The Purple People, as they became called, clannishly settled in the Nation's ghettoes, driving out the Negroes, Orientals and Latins, who were then on the bottom of the social totem pole. Their impact cannot be overestimated.

Southerners repainted their signs saying, "Colored," to read "Purple." Northerners voted for "neighborhood schools." And tourists said all Purple People looked alike, which they did.

Conservatives demanded that the Purple People "stand on their own two feet—and go back where they came from." Liberals made sure to invite one to every cocktail party, where it behaved abomin­ably. And nobody's sister ever even gave thought to marrying one.

Help wanted signs said, "No Purples Need Apply." Golf clubs and college fraternities restricted their membership to applicants of "the Caucasian, Negro and Oriental races." And comedians told Purple jokes, offending no one.

For the first time in history, all men_ shared the strongest .of mutual bonds—a common hatred. And each walked secure in the invincible knowledge of his own superiority. Nor did the Purple People seem to mind.

And so at last peace and equality between Blacks, Whites and Yellows became a reality.

In his old age, Dr. Frankenstein emerged from seclusion and admitted having made the Purple People.

"Well, it was a great scientific achievement," admitted one young reporter, "even though the results were definitely inferior."

Exactly," said Dr. Frankenstein with a smile. And on his death, a grateful mankind, at last realizing the

magnitude of his contribution, erected a statue in his honor, suit­ably inscribed:

HE JOINED ALL MEN IN BROTHERHOOD (except, of course, the Purples)

Back From Europe THE ECHO

^'^S, ."0t.e: C'ndi Hockett recently returned from a vacation-p lod trip to Europe, and here writes of her impressions.

. . . or concentrated . . .

A European holiday sounds glamorous and exciting, doesn't it? But there is another aspect to travel abroad besides the glitter and sparkle. American tourists can find that they have quite a bit to learn about themselves and about the peoples of the countries that they are visiting.

Berlin is highly westernized and looks like any city in the United States during the Christmas sea­son. The similarity ends, however, when an American with two years of college German tries to com­municate with a real German! College courses don't teach such practical things as how to order a hamburger and french fries, call a taxi, or tell a department store clerk, "I'm just looking, thank you." One can learn enough German in two years to under­stand when one German says to another, "Stupid American tour­ist!"

A more sobering part of Berlin is the wall separating the free west from the communist East. The endless coils of barbed wire make communism a stark reality instead of a theory put into prac­tice halfway around the world. In contrast to the vivacity and gaiety of West Berlin's Christmas

celebrations, East Berlin has only the vestiges of activity. It is not difficult to see why the people of West Berlin live for the present with a living testimony of the ravages of communism on their doorsteps.

The sunny warmth of Istanbul was welcome after the frigid whiteness of Berlin's winter. It doesn't take long to discover that no one heeds traffic signals, but always assumes that he has the right of way. Since the Turkish government requires an 80 per cent import tax on all cars brought into the country, most of the 15,000 taxis in Istanbul were manufactured in the United States about ten years ago. Of course these cars don't create the best traffic conditions—an Ameri­can longs for the tranquil rush hours of the U.S.A.!

The Grand Bazaar is something unique to Istanbul. It might be described as an adventure through toyland for adults—with suede coats, leather goods, gold, and gems instead of toys. Red-haired, fair-skinned Americans are easily recognized by the Turkish mer­chants and are almost pounced upon during the slack winter sea­son. It's certainly not hard to

Whether casual .

Interterm Is Study

take advantage of the many real bargains which can be found in the bazaar—after a little skillful haggling!

There is no middle clase in Is tanbul; the people are either wealthy or very poor. Many of the latter live in buildings which look as if they were standing long before the first log cabin was erected in Jamestown. Seeing these people living in filth which has been accumulating for centuries, and knowing no other way of life, makes 1607 much more than a dry historical date —it is the precious beginning of a new way of life.

After eight days of non-com­munication, London is like a haven of English-speaking people. On returning to the United States, O ' H a r e I n t e r n a t i o n a l A i r p o r t doesn't seem as impersonal and meaningless as it did ten days before. Urban and Suburban In­diana, complete with its ghetto tenements, becomes a gleaming, modern city in contrast to aged Istanbul. Being able to travel freely, when placed beside a Ber­lin criss-crossed with barbed wire and surrounded by mine fields, becomes a treasure instead of a part of everyday business.

Debaters Lose To Top School

The Taylor debate team par­ticipated in the Gavel Tournament at Ball State on Jan. 10 and 11.

Alda Knight and Ken Oman were the affirmative team and Donna Belding and Fred Stan-ridge composed the negative team. Taylor participated in 12 debates, returning with four wins and eight losses.

Taylor won over Eastern Illi­nois, Alma, Georgetown, and Wayne State. The winner of the tournament was Wayne State with ten wins and two losses.

Other schools participating in the debate were Kentucky, Albion, Augustana, Purdue, Indiana, Youngstown State, Hillsdale, and Dayton.

The Taylor music and drama departments will begin work on the musical spectacular Oklahoma! this Thursday and Friday nights. Tryouts for the 50 parts will be held between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. in SD-25. Rehearsals will begin Feb. 3 for the March 8 production. Playbooks for the musical are available in the library and speech office.

TU Cagers Win One - Lose One; Face Franklin Saturday Night

The Taylor Trojans once again will go on the road for their next basketball game, but this time the contest is within the conference. The Trojans risk their 10 and 5 record against Franklin College Saturday night on the opponent's floor.

Franklin and Taylor own iden­tical 2 and 2 records in the con­ference. Taylor will be able to gain sole possession of fourth place in the conference with a

win, but this will be rough against Franklin. Franklin has retained all of their first 10 play­ers from last season, so they will not be lacking in experience. Coach Don Odle stated, "Frank­lin poses such a threat because they have good speed, height, and outside shooting, which is a tough combination to beat."

Last Saturday night Taylor dropped a conference game to Hanover on the winner's home

court. Coming off a road trip of 4,000 miles and 9 games, the Tro­jans were tired and lacked the luster they had shown in previous games. Hanover has the tallest team in the conference and easily handed the Trojans a 103 to 72 setback.

The Trojans only hit on 41% of their shots from the field and 64% from the charity stripe. Rodger Schnepp led the Trojans with 18 points, followed by Mer­rill Skinner, Randy Matson, and Chuck Taylor—13, 12, and 11 respectively.

Tuesday night of this week, Olivet College invaded Maytag gymnasium. The Trojans bounced back from Saturday's loss and showed their old form by beating Olivet 112 to 88.

From the center jump until late in the first half, it was a very tightly contested game, but then the Trojans took over and widened the margin to 13 at the half. Chuck Taylor added 26 points in the first half to the cause.

The team continued their good floor play in the second half and ended up hitting 48% from the floor and 72% on foul shots. Five Trojans hit in double figures, lead by Chuck Taylor and Garth Cone with 37 and 21 respective­ly.

Grapplers Win HCC Dual; Face Earlham Wrestlers Wednesday

Almost five weeks ago, with both teams suffering from the flu, the Trojan grapplers won a decisive victory over I.e., a meet which, according to Coach Bob Stewart, will be a prelude to the HCC conference meet. Both I.C. and Manchester are conference favorites. Because I.C. had already beaten Manchester, Taylor's win over I.C. labels them as the team to beat in dual competition.

The decisive score of 31-15 had many pins behind it, four of them by freshman. Leamen, (123)

Merrim, (167) and Chainey, (145) each pinned their opponents in 6 minutes or less. The veterans who scored pins were Kempf (137) and Linder (hw), who pinned his man in 35 seconds. Cole (191) and Jefferies (160) both decisioned their opponents convincingly with scores of 5-1 and 8-1 respectively. Arnold (115) tied last year's #2 HCC wrestler. Losses went to Dicks (130), who had just been released from the infirmary that morning, Hutcheson, and Mohler (177).

Next Wednesday at 7 p.m., Tay­lor meets Earlham, one of the tougher HCC dual teams, in May­tag Gym. The Trojans will have had four weeks to -recover from injuries and sickness, and the grapplers should be at full strength. The return of Dick Gray should make the team still stronger. Coach Stewart is opti­mistic about the outcome of next Wednesday's match.

Next Saturday the team travels to Wayne State University in Detroit for another match.

Gary Drill lays in two points in an early season victory which helped boost the Trojan cagers to their present 10-5 season record.
