K emlper award to Fisher
Karen Fisher, Hagerstown freshman, won the
James S. Kemper Foundation Scholarship in
insurance.
Fisher is in the honors program majoring in
actuarial science and accounting.
The award for $16,000 was presented at the
opening session of the National Explorers President's
Congress Monday in Phoenix, Arizona.
Fisher is a member of Explorer Post 94 chartered
to the Fnith United Lutheran Church in Richman.
The award is made available by the Kemper
Foundation to help with tuition and provide summer
on-the-job training at one of Kemper's offices.
The scholarship is awarded annually to an
Explorer planning a career in insurance.
"I W~IS worried about a summer job, but now
because of the award I'm granted the chance to
travel and the chance to work in insurance and see if
I like it," said Fisher.
Channber operas at theater
Two ~~Oth-century chamber operas, the four-note
opera by Tom Johnson and The Human Voice by
Francis Poulenc, will be presented Tuesday, May 13
at Ball State Theatre at 8 p.m.

Bus seats for ERA march
Two buses of Muncie area Equal Rights
Amendment proponents will leave from the YWCA
early Saturday morning to take part in a
processional-style march in Chicago later that day.
The march is intended to focul national attention
on the ratifiction vote pending in the Illinois House
of Representatives and to continue the momentum
created last week when the amendment received a
higher than expected margin of approval in
committee.
According to Charlotte Creech, coordinator of the
local march delegation, a few spaces are still
available on the Muncie buses which will depart at 5
a.m. and return around IIp.m.
"The men, women and children in the Muncie
delegation are indicative of the wide range of
community support for the Equal Rights
Amendment. And thanks to the generosity of
numerous local organizations and individuals who
cannot attend the march themselves, financial
assistance is available for persons who cannot afford
the full $15 fare," said Creech.
.
Bus reservations and further information may be
obtained by calling Ms. Creech at 289-2749.

WASHINGTON (AP) Liberal tax
activL'its, facing a heavy schedule of
Proposition 13-style initiatives and referenda
on Election Day next month, are vowing to
wrestle the tax issue from conservatives.
Their battle cry is a call for "tax justice,"
essentially an increase in corporate tax.
collections and a redistribution of the tax
burden from lower-and middle-income
families, where property taxes hit hardest, to
weaithier taxpayers.
A weekend tax conference cor,vened by the
National Conference on Alternative State and
Local Public Policies revealed frustration
among tax officials faced with acrosstheboard tax cuts along the lines of
California's Proposition 13.
That proposal was approved by California
voters on June 6 in what many saw as the
beginning of a taxpayers' revolt.
Conservatives around the country have
attempted since then to adopt the 'issue as
their own.

In a speech to 2,000 law enforcement
nation
officials at the convention of the
International Association of Chiefs of Police,
the Massachusetts Democrat for the first time
endorsed recent movements to trv juveniles
accused of violent crimes in adult ccftuts
rather than in the more protective
atmosphere of juvenile c o u r t s . '

Frenchmen tote guns
PARIS (AP) -. Once again the call is going
out to France to take up arms, but thi~ time
authoritif.s wish it would be ignored. A rising
crime rate is pushing many Frenchmen
toward gun-toting vigilantism.
Three hundred concerned citizens gathered
at a rally over the weekend and cheered as
the speaker demanded "the death penalty for
the hoodlums instead of the victims."
Crime in France went up 15 percent In
1977, and although the rate of violent crime
is lower than that of the United States,
Britain and West Germany, the cry for "law
and order" is getting louder.
Fighting off burglars can be risky. French
