Fort Wayne Council Debates Gas Shutoff Plan
Fort Wayne council discusses a long gas franchise resolution to allow the mayor to halt gas to factories stores and home heating in a gas shortage. Mayor Berghoff warns shutting off manufacturing risks 4000 jobs while gas engines use little gas and many users lack alternative power. He questions how to draw the line between heating and other needs. The city attorney notes furnaces could be refused under the franchise. A decision could set a Fort Wayne precedent for the safe gas supplier.

Frat and sorority ribbons banned in Muncie high school
Principal RE P Wiles ordered that anyone wearing fraternity or sorority colors must remove their ribbons and not wear them in classrooms. The move, backed by several teachers, drew mixed reactions from students who fear a broader push to end social organizations in high schools. One student, suspended for not removing her ribbon, sparked protests as meetings were held to plan action. Authorities say the trend reflects a shift from social to academic focus, with possible appeals to City Superintendent George Roberts. Bluffton high school reports no new hazing cases since prior court actions.
