Obviously a new plan of attack is needed. Two - The Enternal Conflict shifts to Roy 0.

r Fj- i lauw Fire Company - Operation Life la? ' ' Mi 4 ,A , - , 3; Most DePauw students correlate blue uni- l l ' fr '. l ' 113-41 forms and sharp beeping noises with this . 3 V A student organization. But the 24-hour ser- vice they provide for all of Putnam County is needed and invaluable. It presently has 45 volunteers members including ten com- munity residents and twelve probationary members. This fall, nine members became paramedics who are able to administer cer- tain drugs when they are under supervision of a doctor via radio or telephone. Opera- tion Life is supported almost entirely by donations from local citizens, service clubs and corporations, DePauw students and parents, Putnam County government and other municipal agencies, and DePauw stadium concession stand sales. In 1967, a group of DePauw Undergraduates students founded the DePan Fire Com- pany which served as a source of trained manpower during fire and rescue emer- gencies. These students realized the need for pre-hospital care and created an Emer- gency Medical Technician course in accor- dance with St. Francis Hospital in Indianapo- lis. On May 7, 1974, Operation Life made their first response, taking a person with mumps to the hospital. Since that time, they have made over 850 responses and have expanded their service to all of Putnam County with two ambulances. :s
