The Phi's Hold
Opening Meeting
Splendid Literary
Program Given by
Local Fraternity
An Open meeting of the Phi Kappa
Delta Fraternity was enjoyed by a
large number of guests, and would
have been enjoyed by a much larger
number had there been greater capac
ity for accommodation. The fraternity rendevous is spacious, but was
well filled both with kind friends and
oratory.
A literary programme was rendered. Chairman Hull bade the guests
welcome. Before recess Messrs.
William Mickle and Gordon Haynes
mentioned occurrences of world-wide
interest and dwelt interestingly upon
them. Mr. Geo| Selden related personal experience in a witty way in
an extemporaneous talk. He caused
us to feel that we did not care to
be in the midst of Lake George in
a disabled boat with a squall directing our journey—not even to see Mr.
Mickle gazing into the ruffled and
muddy depts for gold fish.
Mr. Garwood gave an excellent address on College Fraternalism. His
ideas should be spread abroad among
college students; but space is inadequate to quote anything now.
The fraternity quartet, composed
of .Messrs- W. Y. Mickle, Garwood.
Thomas and H. G. Jones, made its
debut. It was heartily applauded.
During recess fruit punch and
several varieties of dainty wafers
were served. The debate ensued.
Messrs. Fred Botts and Durrance
convinced the judges that the people
of England ought not adopt the
budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in spite of the arguments offered by Messrs. Clifford Botts and
H. G. Jones.
Everybody had a good time. Be
cause they said they did? Yes. and
because they "looked" it and acted it.
Dossie Hull, President of Phi Kappa
Deltas.
Mr. Hull probably the best liked
of all Stetson students is president
of the Phi Kappa Delta Fraternity,
one of the best of the several fraternities in the University. But as
high as Hull stands in his fraternity
he stands even as high in the esteem
of all who know him. In the spring
of the present year Mr. Hull will receive degrees from both the College
of Law and the College of Liberal
Arts.
Basket Ball.
The first match game of the season
between the Daytona girls' basket
ball team and the Stetson Varsity
team was called Saturday, January
2i, at 8:30 a. m. in the gymnasium.
Owing to the fact that the Daytona
team had only been organized two
weeks they played at great odds and
although they put up a plucky fight
the score was 46 to 6 in favor of
Stetson.
Miss Bowers, one of Stetson's last
year stars, is captain of their team
and Saturday played her usual fine
game as forward.
Daytona's guards and center, however, though they are quick, lack
practice and especially practice in regard to team work. On the whole
the Daytona girls have excellent ma
terial among themselves to make a
strong team and we are not expecting a walkover when we play them
at Daytona.
Miss Quarterman and Post, (Stetson's forwards, played more than a
fine game Saturday. As fast as they
could get the ball, in the basket it
went, and we were certainly proud
of them.
Miss Bunch, as center, also played
a splendid game, and her passing of
the ball to the forwards, was a piece
of scientific work. Stetson's guards,
Miss Wright and Pugh, played well,
whenever they had a chance, but the
ball was very seldom in their terri-
tory."When it came, however, it
went"—characterizes their work suf
ficiently.
As a whole the Stetson team played a fine game and throughout its
team work was excellent. With a
few weeks more stiff practicing we
feel sure that our team will be able
to more than meet any team in the
State—and carry off the State championship.
The Eusophian Literary Society.
The usual number of members attended the meeting of the literary society last Saturday evening. The following program was rendered:
Currents Events—Harry Garwood-
Extempore—Harriet Hulley.
Parliamentary Practice—Robt. Milam.
Debate: Resolved that the constitution of Florida should be amended
so as to make prohibition State-wide.
The affirmative side was well presented by Arthur Milarn, and Inez
Barron, and the negative by Bradford Williams and Kate Chapman.
The decision was given to the affirmative.
The usual interest was manifested
in the semi-annual election of officers.
Frank Wideman was elected president; Harriet Hulley, vice president;
Ralph K. Roberts, secretary; R. B.
Thomas, treasurer; Edwin Spencer,
program manager; Hugh Jones, censor; Dr. Farris, senior critic; and
Ivan Waterman, junior critic.
