ject Wednesday to help bolster the state's education system. The initiative is called "Project a non profit, non-partisan organization that DeHaan claims will succeed where other "fragmented" and "incremental" statewide education efforts have failed. "Despite modest reforms, our public education system in Indiana needs improvement," DeHaan said. School (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) A demographic study of the corporation showed a 77 percent enrollment growth in Grades 7 through 12 by 2007. The second middle school will also allow more space in the elementary schools because sixthgraders will move out of the elementaries and into the middle schools.

The new middle school will include a smaller cafeteria and media center than the current middle school. Mainly, that's because those don't require as much space with new technology than previous school plans years ago, said Jeff Sickmeier, board member. Each grade level will have nine regular classrooms. In addition, each grade level will inlcude: three science rooms, one computer lab, one resource room, one small group instruction room, one guidance office and a teacher planning, work and storage room. The new school will also include a gym, and rooms for foreign language, family and consumer science, art and industrial technology.

The next board meetings are at 7 p.m. Monday and June 19.

"In fact, it needs an overhaul." One of the new organization's first steps will be a multi-city "listening tour," seeking public comment on education issues and identifying what reforms are necessary. Project which is being funded this year by $3.5 million from the Christel DeHiaan Family Foundation will also start airing radio and television ads in the summer months emphasizing the importance of improving education. "High failure rates on the ISTEP exam and low SAT scores continue to plague our state," said DeHaan, the former head of Resort Condo- minums International.

"When comparing our children with their socioeconomic peers in' other states, they are not measuring up. Even our best schools and our best students are behind." Phil Bremen, a spokesman for Gov. Frank O'Bannon, said that while private initiatives like Project are a welcome addition, the state is making strides of its own toward improved education. He noted the work of the Education Roundtable, a two-yearold advisory group on education issues made 1 up of educators, business people and I others. Time capsule remains mystery BY JENNIFER DEL VECHIO DAILY JOURNAL STAFF WRITER A time capsule is buried in the front yard of West Grove Elementary School.

But as the day to open the 24-yearold treasure has arrived, Principal George Broyer has one problem: The time capsule can't be found. That's because the trees on the map that marked the spot no longer exist. "The trees died and were cut down," Broyer said. "We don't know the exact location." But they have tried to find it. A youth group was out probing in West Grove's yard this week but didn't have any luck.

A metal detector won't work either because the time capsule was buried in a plastic wastebasket. Inside the time capsule are student papers, an enrollment list, photographs and an audio tape. But if it's not found by today, 1 he plans to delay opening the capsule until next year the 25th anniversary of burying it. "But if anyone wants to help us find it, they can," he said. If anyone has an idea where the time capsule is on the West Grove campus, contact Broyer at 888-0185.
