"There is a large probability that the man made a U-turn, but my best judgment is that he stopped on the other side of the road and crossed over to offer assistance," Huntington said.

"It was nothing but opportunity, pure random chance that she stopped just as a very bad person was coming by about as though she were hit by lightning. "The best advice we can give women who find themselves in helpless situations such as Ann Harmeier's is to stay in the car with the doors locked and avoid the tendency not to offend good Samaritans. Tell whoever stops to send help, but don't get in his car," Huntington said. Michael, chairman of the Theater Department, yesterday. "This is a gloomy place and the students wanted to do something that is not garish, but tells the public they remember Ann.

"The trouble is that people think this -is over; this is the end of it," Michael said. "But it is not over until they get the man who did it. People may say he is sick, and I am sure he must be, but the issue is that someone is dead," But the odds are slim that Miss Harmeier's killer will be found, although an investigation is being pressed by State Police Sergeants Gene Gas-tineau and Maurice Aileron. Aileron also is a friend of the Harmeier family. George Huntington, chief of the I.U.

Black crepe drapes the big red banners that mark the Indiana University theater. In this simple way fellow students mourn the death of Ann Louise Har-meier, 20, whose body was found in a cornfield near Martinsville Monday, five weeks to the day since her disappearance.

Positive identification was made in an autopsy yesterday by Dr. Josefinoc Aguilar, an Indianapolis pathologist, at Wishard Memorial Hospital in Indianapolis. Miss Harmeier had been strangled. Meanwhile, authorities studied files on known sex offenders today in their hunt for Miss Harmeier's killer. A contingent of students and faculty, including the advisory board of the I.U.

Theater Department, will attend services for Miss Harmeier at 10:30 a.m. Saturday in the Cambridge City United Presbyterian Church where the coed was to have preached a sermon Sept. 25. Miss Harmeier, a junior at I.U., was a theater and drama major who maintained an A-average in her studies and was characterized as cheerful, cooperative and conscientious by her professors and classmates. "Terrible, terrible." said R.

Keith Youth Accused Of Parking Lot Robbery A 17-year-old boy was arrested by police last night shortly after an attendant at Dennison Parking Garage, 55 S. Capitol, was robbed. Police charged Shawn Hendrix, 1900 block of West 63rd, with robbery and turned him over to the juvenile branch. Janice Hollowell, 51, told police a young man shoved a knife through the window of the parking lot booth where she was working and demanded money. She said when she screamed and stepped farther back into the booth, the robber took cash from the counter.

Police said her screams were heard by the parking lot supervisor, Donald Garwood, 29, and John Och, 38, an insurance executive. They chased the suspect east in an alley south of Washington. The men said they saw the thief join a second person, and the pair split up when they saw the men chasing them. The men described the robber to police, who later arrested Hendrix in the first block of South Meridian. Police said they saw the suspect toss something into a barrel.

They checked the container and found $160, the said. Firemen City officials and Indianapolis Fire Fighters today discussed a new offer by the city which came in the wake of the firemen's rejection of a $900 across-the-board offer from the administration. Donald Wolf, president of Fire Fighters Local 416, reported the results of voting Tuesday and yesterday by members of the organization. Wolf said the vote was 601 to 1 to reject the $900 offer, and 604 to 7 authorizing the executive board to "call for a secret ballot for withdrawal of services when the executive board feels it has exhausted other avenues for reaching a reasonable settlement." Thomas Hasbrook, deputy mayor," said the new offer was presented to the firemen this afternoon in a meeting with city negotiators Michael Owen and Murrill Lowry. By JOHN FLORA With the discovery and identification this week of the body of missing Indiana University coed Ann Louise Harmeier, State Police seeking her killer are faced with a type of investigation which could drag on for months or years.

The pattern is a familiar one a young woman, traveling alone, is slain. Her body is often dumped in an isolated rural area to be discovered days later and in a condition which yields few clues. Several similar cases, some dating back nearly a decade, are still unsolved by Indiana lawmen. The 20-year-old I.U. theater student was abducted from her disabled car northeast of Martinsville on Sept.

12 just four days before the ninth anniversary of the still-unsolved slaying of a pretty black encyclopedia salesgirl in Martinsville. Carol Jenkins, 21, Rushville, was stabbed to death on a rainy night as she walked toward a rendezvous with other members of the door-tod oor sales team that had driven to Martinsville from Indianapolis. A Martinsville man was questioned in the case, but was later cleared by a polygraph test. Another Morgan County abduction-murder case that remains open is that of Cheryl Ann Bolin, 11. The rural Monrovia girl was last seen Aug.

They don't change opinions but they show support and help name recognition." He added that buttons are inexpensive campaign devices. The state committee paid about $2,000 for its supply of Carter buttons in 1976, which amounted to about 2 cents each, McHargue said. The state committee constantly receives requests from button collectors, McHargue said. "We get them from other states even.

Guy Johnson, spokesman for the Republican State Committee, said most politicians on his side of the fence feel buttons are much less effective than other media in promoting candidates.

However, they are a good means showing identification with a party or candidate, he said. "They are useful In a convention situation where you have a large number of people in a confined space, they can help attract attention where people need to see which candidate you are supporting," Johnson said. NStice? Kit The bicycle was found later and, in March, 1976, the girl's skeletal remains were found on a farm in southern Vigo County. In a case similar to that of Miss Harmeier's murder, authorities are still seeking a suspect in the slaying May 5 of Purdue University coed Kristine Kozik. Miss Kozik, 19, Downers Grove, 111., disappeared after she left her sorority house on the Purdue campus to visit a friend.

Her badly decomposed body was found in a remote area south of Lafayette June 20. Authorities in Indiana and Illinois also have yet to solve the slaying of Monika Marie Mason, 32, Evanston, 111., whose decomposed body was found in a field near Zionsville last July 18. Mrs. Mason, a divorcee and mother of two, disappeared about two weeks earlier from her job at a Chicago-area motel. Investigators were unable to determine the cause of death of Mrs.

Mason, a German immigrant. Also unsolved is the Oct. 7, 1975, death of Lei a Hildebrandt. Mrs. Hildebrandt, 26, an employe of the Winamac Public Library, was killed while driving along Ind.

Mrs. Hildebrandt's auto careened off the road and into a clump of trees. The suit sought to appropriate $1.5 million from deliquent property tax settlements by the former Perm Central Railroad; $482,000 from the sale of a half block at Alabama and Washington streets, and $113,000 transferred from the fire department's salaries account.

Frick said the $1.5 million from the railroad property tax settlement will have to be disbursed to many county taxing units with only about $50,000 or $60,000 going to the city. He added the $482,000 received from the Alabama and Washington property sale will be used to purchase a new site for fire headquarters. Frick said the $113,000 which was transferred from the fire department's salaries account paid for increased medical benefits for the firemen, resulting from an agreement during last year's salary negotiations.

$2 MILLION PUNCHLINE: JAMES and PAULINE FAWCETT weren't laughing when the REDD FOXX show featured a comedy skit about them.

Look hard enough and you'll find a button blasting or boosting most anything.

"Buttons are long identified with political, campaigns. "I Like Ike" buttons helped Dwight Eisenhower hold the U.S. presidency for eight years. A spokesman for a novelty company which wholesales buttons in large orders said churches, church functions and political campaigns create the greatest demand for buttons in this area. High schools also make big requests for buttons during the state basketball tournament.

Nowadays, buttons can be made for anybody by anybody. Small, portable button presses operate in carnival booths, offices and homes. To supporters of the third-ranked Carmel Greyhound football team, buttons portraying individual members are a symbol of school spirit. The buttons are the product of Richard Sharp, whose son Rick plays for the Greyhounds. On a small button press in his home, Sharp has stamped out 236 buttons for friends and families of Carmel football, basketball and baseball players.

"Last year when the Carmel basketball team was in the sectionals, another fellow took the pictures of all the seniors out of a program and put them on buttons. "My son was a sophomore last year, so I figured if they did it for the seniors, I could do it for the juniors and sophomores, too," Sharp said. The idea caught on, and now Sharp arranges photo sessions with coaches for many athletic teams in Carmel. He sells the buttons for 75 cents, which be said barely covers the cost of button materials and photographing the team. If parents or girlfriends want extra buttons of team members, Sharp will give them the negatives so they can have reprints made.

The fans could then bring the print to him for conversion into a button. Sharp explained that the button press works in a two-step process. The operator first places the between a metal plate and a plastic sheet With one motion, the press stamps die button together and seals it. A pin is later inserted, Sharp said. I A more prolific button maker is Dr.

Laurence Bates, who in lii years has manufactured nearly 40,000. Bates' buttons come with 45 different messages, all dealing with the same theme stop smoking. -The messages range from "Smoking Boxes You In," to "Smoke Is No Joke Wljen Vou Croak" to "Smokers Make An Ash of Themselves." Bates, who handles cancer patients, decided buttons with sayings such as You For Not Smoking" are too polite for smokers. He wanted to produce something with a punchier state- ment. "It's a subtle influence, but for the people wearing them there's no question about the idea they're trying to get across," Bates said.

Bates has sold buttons to the United Cancer Council and doctors in New York and Detroit. He has hired his daughter Shirley, 13, and son Phillip, 11, to help him, both 'earning an "exorbitant" penny per button. "My daughter, who has extremely good manual dexterity, can make quite a fait of money at it," he said. Shirley holds the record at button making, Bates said, as she once punched out 52 in five minutes. Bates' best is about 30 in the same time.

If so, sead it to The News. A Preacher In The Hasbrook would not comment on details of the proposal other than to say it was reaching the bottom of the barrel as far as funding. The firemen's original proposal to the city was for $2,598 across-the-board, a reduction in work hours from 56 to 48 per shift, and fully-paid medical health insurance, including dental and eye care. The firemen have reduced their original salary demands to $2,100, while the city's counter-offer has been far short at $900.

Firemen yesterday filed a suit seeking the appropriation of $2 million for salaries, but the reaction by city officials was negative. David Frick, deputy mayor, termed the suit "absurd" and was critical of the firemen's attorney and his lack of knowledge of city financing.
