FORE
On Saturday, May 3, Indiana University DGTS is having a Florida-Scramble Golf Tournament at Rome City. The tournament begins at 10 a.m. with the foursome of Mr. Greenacre, Mike Grimme, Dave Wilson, and Tom Eberhard teeing off. A Florida-Scramble tournament means that everyone on the team hits the ball and then the best or the shots is taken for the team. The second and third shots are played the same way--by taking the best shot of the group. The defending champions--Miss Colbert, Bruce Schelm, and Mr. Coleman--are split up this time. The first six teams should be ready to tee off at 10 a.m. The other teams should be at the golf course no later than 10:30. The pairings are as follows:
Team 1 Jeff Greenacre Mike Grimme Dave Wilson Tom Eberhard
Team 2 Ron Reinking Jo Ann Walter Barry DeMuth Joe Merchich
Team 3 Don Hasselbring Sue Ridenour Terry Shively Al Sheets
Team 4 Alice Benson Larry Kees Denny Strater Jim Johnston

REFLECTIONS
As we review the past academic year and as we look forward to commencement, I am reminded of Albert Einstein's remarks, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” I do not believe Einstein was saying do not acquire knowledge or that knowledge is useless. To me he was saying that knowledge is expanded, multiplied, and made more useful when imagination is coupled with the knowledge you have acquired. We know you have acquired knowledge this year. We hope we have helped stimulate your mind beyond the mere acquisition of details. To the graduates we say, Congratulations! Remember that while profit is a by-product of work, happiness is its chief product. Progress walks Indian file behind a fellow willing to stick his neck out. To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing. To be something, be imaginative and work. You have been a good group! We look forward to hearing good things about you as you continue to succeed next year. I want to thank you students for your part in helping make our third year the best yet! Your social events and your academic achievements have set new standards. Our faculty have been just great. They seem to sense that the art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery. This approach to teaching lends itself to imagination and creativity. We appreciate our faculty. Certainly the staff of secretaries and maintenance personnel have aided greatly in helping us have a fine year. We are constantly complimented on the cleanliness of the building. The friendly, courteous spirit evidenced by the secretaries is appreciated. We look forward to seeing some of you in Summer session. Dr. Bickley

LITTLE BLACK BOX
During the month of August the Data Processing Department will be installing their first computer. For the students who are majoring in this area, this is definitely now new information--they are given a progress report almost everyday. Conversations among data-processing students concerning the new computer are diversified. These conversations vary from deciding if the computer's color should be yellow with a red racing stripe to predicting the degree of difficulty of next year's programming class with Mr. Greenacre. For those of you who are not aware of the details concerning the computer, they are as follows: The computer is a System 360 Model 20 card system, with core storage of 8000 bytes and access time of 3.6 micro seconds; the input device will be a multi-function card machine which can read cards into the system at a rate of 310 per second and punch information into the cards at 120 per second. This device also has the ability to sort, merge, and reproduce files of cards. A printer will provide the system with a means of communicating with people by printing approximately 300 lines of information per minute. The faculty and students associated with the Data Processing Department invite and encourage you to stop in next fall and view System 360, or what many have called Greenacre’s Folly! Professor Greenacre

THANK YOU - FOR A JOB WELL DONE
As the school year rapidly draws to a close, I wish to publicly express my appreciation to the Student Assembly officers: Jim Johnston, Denny Sosinski, Jan Minich, and Cheryl Squires, as well as the delegates Linda Knettle, Becky Schorey, Melanie Carr, John Phenicie, Ralph Bruns, Debbie Hartman, and Gene Baker for their splendid cooperation throughout the year. Without their leadership, the events that we have had, as well as the new constitution, could not have come into being. I think all of us at DGTS owe Sue Ridenour and all of her committees a special thanks for their enthusiasm and interest in handling all of our social events. These people have set a high standard on which it will be extremely difficult to improve. Lastly, and equally important, on behalf of the officers and delegates, I would like to thank the student body for your cooperation in attending all of the functions. Mr. Coleman, Advisor
OFFICE TECHNOLOGY CLUB NEWS
The Office Technology Club girls have been busy. They sponsored a bake sale at Montgomery Wards in Northcrest on April 26. The girls went "all out" with homemade goodies and proved that they are not only future secretaries but also superb cooks. The Club is also planning a luncheon on May 12 at the Gas House. This will be the last official meeting and will serve to wind up a very successful first year. The Office Technology Club wishes to extend to this year's graduates a wish for the "Best of Luck” and a “Hope to See You Next Year." Cheryl Cargar

HERE AND THERE
As the second semester of our current academic year nears its close, we wish to comment on several random items. First of all, we wish to thank the Student Assembly and all registered organizations for their spirit of cooperation this past year. They have had many fine events and have contributed a great deal to the morale of this Division. Secondly, we want to remind all students planning on summer coursework to visit their program directors within the next two or three weeks. Starting the week of May 12, we plan to begin pre-registration for our summer session. It would be to students' benefit to work out their schedules early and pre-register. Don't forget the Awards Picnic on May 25. This promises to be a nice event, and at it there will be several scholarships awarded for the academic year. We hope you will plan to be present for an evening of enjoyment and recognition of student achievement. Finally, congratulations to those students completing their academic requirements and participating in Commencement on June 5. There are a number of memorable events planned for this occasion, and we hope you will participate in as many as possible. Your Graduating Council representatives, Sue Ridenour and Becky Schorey, are available to assist you if you have any questions regarding graduation procedures. Thanks to everyone for helping make this the best year yet at the Division of General and Technical Studies. Mr. Fredrick

GUEST EDITORIAL
Other college and university campuses around the United States are in a turmoil due to the student protestings of dormitory hours, visitation privileges, American involvement in Vietnam, the Army, the Navy, and lately in the eastern schools with student revolts against the curriculum, and/or the professors that are or are not hired. The State of Indiana is on the verge of falling into the same pit of turmoil the rest of the country is faced with but for a different reason. Our state, which has already fallen behind in educational achievement, is beginning to dig its holes deeper. Education is a precious tool instrumental in the preservation and well being of any society. It must, like the environment which surrounds it, grow and progress. Otherwise, its products will falter away--lost in the rush of everyday life of its peers. Beginning this fall, university fees and tuitions will be increased in Indiana. Although the additional $5 per credit hour may not put a "cramp" on many of us here at DGTS, students elsewhere on campus will feel the strain. The increase on campus will raise fees 130 per cent. Increases in student fees and tuition should rise in somewhat of an equal ratio to the rise of the economy, but a doubling of fees and tuition in a single year will put an extreme hardship on many students. Direct blame, however, should not be placed upon the state institutions. Their action was based on the rather small budget given to them by Governor Whitcomb and the state legislature. Instead of getting a substantial increase in the budget so that schools in Indiana could continue to grow and develop as they should, the "cut-back" will cause education in this state to remain stagnant, which is impossible, as education and the knowledge it provides never stands still. If something is not resolved or changed soon, an educational disaster will be felt. Students in this state ranging from kindergarten through advanced degree candidates will be strongly affected. The "cut-back" will cause elementary schools to shorten their staffs in already over-crowded schools. It will force universities and colleges not only to increase their fees and tuition, but also to delay construction of new buildings needed by the schools. It's really pathetic when one thinks of how badly Whitcomb and his "do-nothing" legislature really may have put Indiana back a few years, just in their failure to realize the importance in the advancement of education. Education is the real back-bone of our society. When it slows down, we slow down, until finally, we stop--and a sound educational system no longer exists. Dennis Sosinski President, Indiana Collegiate Young Democrats, DGTS

THE FACTS OF THE MATTER
Because of a sizable reduction in support of the University by the Indiana General Assembly this year, student fees at regional campuses will increase to $20 per credit hour beginning next September. Although the Board of Trustees was reluctant to take this step, the combination of increasing annual costs and the restricted 1969-70 budget provided no other satisfactory solution if the University were to live within its income. About the only other alternative available was to slash existing programs, which was not desirable considering the welfare of students currently enrolled in these areas. In fact, many new programs of considerable merit will need to be curbed or cut back, while others must by necessity be postponed because of inadequate funds. The effect of the fee increase on an average full-time student at the Division of General and Technical Studies will amount to approximately $150 over a full academic year. This figure is considerably below increases on the campus where it will be in the vicinity of $250 per year. Sometimes we think that student fees provide the funds to operate a University program. It is interesting to note that even with the new increases, student fees will provide only 42% of the University's operating expenditures for the forthcoming year with the balance still coming from state-legislated funds. In keeping with the Division's desire to communicate with students and keep them informed regarding decisions affecting their lives here, we wished to relate these thoughts for your consideration and understanding. Mr. Fredrick

ZETA TAU OMEGA
Congratulations to Jean Hartmann for being elected Daisy Mae at the Sadie Hawkins Dance. The Sorority says "Great Going Jean!" Wednesday, April 30, the Sorority had their third annual EAT-IN with hot ham sandwiches, pretzels, potato chips, and cookies. Were you all there? Our biggest event of the entire year is corning up in May. It is Zeta Tau Omega’s spring formal. "To Spring With Love” has been in the planning stages since the beginning of the semester. Working with the General Chairman, Cheryl Squires, is Willie Simmons, co-chairman; Marsha Van Camp, decorations; Cheri Sprunger, Chaperones; Sally Clark, Publicity; Carol Pickett, coat room; Barb Eakright, refreshments; Dona Miller, date bureau; and Jo Seabers, tickets. "To Spring With Love" is to be held at Hotel Anthony on May 17. With dinner starting at 7:30 p.m. (arrive at the Hotel by 7:15 p.m.), the Castaways will begin the dance at 9:00 p.m. Tickets can be purchased from any Sorority member or in the front lobby of DGTS from May 1 through May 16. Jo Seabers
Senior Activities continued
Seniors who ordered announcements and tickets for these events can pick them up after May 13. Watch for announcements on the bulletin boards. Baccalaureate will be held at Concordia Senior College on Sunday, June 1, at 8 p.m. All seniors and families are invited to hear speaker J. Edward Rouch. Commencement exercises will be held on Thursday morning, June 5, at 10:30 a.m. at the Memorial Coliseum. After the graduation ceremony, a reception will be held for seniors and their families here at DGTS. Approximately $60 has been collected for our Senior Gift which will be donated in the name of the Class of 1969 to the James Toy Scholarship Fund. Becky Schorey Sue Ridenour Senior Counsel Representatives
BETA SIGMA PI
This past school year was the most successful year for BE Fraternity. This year saw two different presidents direct the Fraternity through some very trying moments. Bill Furge, president during the first semester this year, welcomed twenty new pledges who all participated in the annual “Swim Party" at the Club Olympia sponsored by the Fraternity. During his term the Fraternity sold phone books--a project sponsored every year by Beta Sigma Pi. When the second semester started, Steve Franke was elected to the presidency due to the vacancy created by Bill Furge's graduation. During his term, many activities were carried out. The Fraternity also sponsored their first dance of the year; and under the direction of Nathan Thomas, it was a real success! Also the Fraternity held a car wash to help pay for the extra cost of new pins. One of the last events will be a dance after “To Spring With Love,” Zeta Tau Omega’s semi-formal. Watch the bulletin board for all the details. Steve Franke

THERE OUGHTA BE A LAW!
Controversy is the essence of democracy. This frequently creates problems for people because decisions cannot be reached until interested people align themselves with one point of view or another on the issue involved. For example, a short time ago the people of Indiana had to decide whether or not union membership could be made a compulsory requirement for employment. From the arguments, came the “Right to Work Law." Later, elementary school teachers felt they would rather have an hour for lunch and be able to eat in privacy than have a shorter period and eat with the children. They laughingly called this the "Right to Eat Law.” Here at DGTS a similar situation has arisen and, necessarily, people are aligning themselves on one side or the other. The administration and faculty have taken the position that all students should be given the opportunity and even encouraged to be successful. They have opened a Study Center this year in attempt to make sure that all students be given maximum opportunity for success. Over eighty students used the facilities and service during the year, and the evidence coming in indicates that these students are improving their chances for future success. On the other side of the spectrum, we have a few students, who have either intentionally or unintentionally aligned themselves with the position that success is their prerogative and to attain it they do not need or desire help. To prove their point, they continue to enroll in courses and drop them when they get in trouble, or they go ahead and fail the course with the idea they will pass it next time. Continued page 12

There Oughta Be a Law! Continued
You can see the two positions, which gets us back to the original point about controversy. If we pass an academic law, should it be a "Right to Succeed Law” or a "Right to Fail Law"? Are we wrong in our assumption that each student has the desire to be successful and it is the job of DGTS to assist him? Professor Coleman
AID AVAILABLE
Beginning in the fall of 1969, there will be a new form of financial assistance available to students at the Division. The Toy Loan Fund, a revolving fund established in memory of the late Professor James I. Toy, will be available for full-time students in good academic standing. Such students may, on a first-come bases, borrow up to $100. This amount may then be repaid over a period of four months at 6% simple interest. This would amount to interest of approximately 50 cents per month for the four months the money was borrowed. Qualified students interested in utilizing this fund should contact the Division’s business administrator prior to registration. Mr. Fredrick
ELECTIONS
According to the new constitution just ratified by this year's Student Assembly, it is time to elect next year's officers. Positions to be filled for next fall are the offices of President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Section II of the new Constitution states: "Each aspirant to the Student Assembly, with the exception of delegates, must submit to the Student Activities Coordinator a petition signed by ten (10) students of the Division stating his desires for the candidacy. Petitions will be made available during the first full week in May, and must be returned by 5:00 p.m. the Friday of that first full week." Section III states: "Election of officers shall be held on Friday of the third full week of May. These four (4) officers shall take office on the last day of the spring semester or at an installation ceremony." The position of Student Activities Chairman will also fall vacant but will be filled by appointment of the new Student Assembly officers. To qualify as a candidate for office, a student must be enrolled in a degree program, must be in good standing with the Division of General and Technical Studies, and must be enrolled in twelve (12) or more credit hours. This aspirant must also have at least a 2.5 accumulative grade average. Petitions may be picked up in the main office starting Monday, May 5, 1969. If you qualify, pick up a petition and run for an office. Become active in student activities as many of your friends already are. Remember that ''You get out of school, what you put into it." Be active and become involved. Dennis Sosinski
