Stetson Weekly Collegiate

STETSON WEEKLY COLLEGIATE Students* Publication of Stetson University VOL. XXL DeLAND, FLA., THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 1909. NO. 20 ORLANDO RELUCTANT ABOUT THIRD GAME. Teams Unable to Strike Agreement. Apparently the efforts of Managcr Yaekel and Coach Botts to arrange for a third game to decide the final victors in the O. H. S.-Stetson contest are proving futile. Stetson wishes to play on a central floor either at Jacksonville or St. Augustine, in preference to her opponent's court or her own. The O. H. S. must be content with the present situation and are willing to let matters rest. The Varsity is still practicing, strengthening their weak points, and are- working to take the game, if the management can get it scheduled. We trust another" week will see some definite action in the affair,, favoring a final contest for the honors. try friends, and loses all 'hope .of winning the hand of the woman he loves. Costumes representing the English style of dress in 1742 will be worn by the actors. The play will be entertaining and amusing, and will hold up the record of the former annual productions. This event is always anticipated by students and citizens and the house will be crowded. THE LITS HAVE STRUCK A LIGHT. GREEK DROPPED FROM RHODES SCHOLARSHIP REQUISITES. Notice. The Child Study Club will hold its regular meeting on Friday, March 19, in the Association Rooms, Library Building. Miss Mary Shaver, University Librarian, will speak on "What a library can do for children." This subject is receiving a vast amount of attention in our large cities, and the smaller communities ought to be none the less interested. COLLEGE PLAY. Next Tuesday Night Prof. Stover as "David Garrick" Assisted by a Strong Cast. This year's college play will be the three-act comedy "David Garrick," founded upon an apocryphal anecdote of this great English actor. Unlike many short comedies, this little play is an interesting story from the rise of the curtain to the very em! of the last act. The characters are very pronounced and the appearance of the "country folks" brings out good genuine English wit and humor. The plot itself is pathetic. Garrick, in keeping his word of honor, is compelled to stimulate inebriety and thus disgusts the coun- The Strictest Requirement for the Prize. The necessity of a knowledge of Greek has been a drawback to many an aspirant for the Oxford prizes given every two years. To hear that this study has been dropped from the required credits will doubtless be a pleasure. Latin and Math, are now the two main requisites. Considerable interest in these examinations has been expressed at Stetson, but no one has dared to make .the attempt. With this greatest hindrance removed, a splendid opportunity is presented to capture a coveted scholarship. "David Garrick" Y. W. C. A. Enjoys a Treat. Miss Hollenbeck of New York, spoke to the Young Women's Christian Association Thursday afternoon on the power of a single life. She took instances of lives from the Bible and from among her friends, dwelling especially on the life of Alice Jackson, who died a few years ago while engaged in settlement work. Miss Hollenbeck has been in the midst of the city Y. W. C. A. and Settlement work and it has been our privilege to have her address the Association several times during the past few years. Those ptesent were greatly benefited by her talk and we earnestly hope to have her with us for some years to come. Splendid Meeting With the Lawyers. Saturday night the Lit. invited the Kent Club especially and, in general, all interested in literary work, to meet with them in their regular program. Chairs were brought in from all over Science Hall and the room was packed. After the welcome by the President, a variety of literary numbers was rendered, each one of which showed fhe secret of the society's success—work. Not only did each speaker have something- worth while to say, but each knew how to say it in an entertaining manner. The program was opened by the reading of the Stetson Star by Miss Davis, and closed by a tight debate on "Resolved that the United States shouud increase her navy," in which Mr. Howell of the negative was the winner over Mr. Stults of the affirmative. The oratory of the evening was supplied by Mr. Wide- man, the fun by Mr. Durrance, and the wit by Mr. Bostick. The program was as follows: Stetson Star—Miss Davis. Reading, "Mr. Jones as a Census Taker"—Mr. Durrance. The Trusts and the Republican Party—Mr. Wideman. The Trials of a Bashful Man—Mr. Bostick. Debate—Messrs. Howell and Stults. The Lits are very much enthused over the result of this meeting and have taken on new life. The realization of something worth striving for in the work has quickened a sincere interest and endeavor for greater achievements. The cabinet and especially the president, Mr. Jones, feel justly encouraged and are purposed to make this society count for something. Why does Bill Page look so mournful lately? She's gone. Tuesday Night Miss Edith Kunz recital gave ia from "The Servant in the House" on Wednesday in the auditorium. This play has been having a splendid run in New York and the reading was thoroughly enjoyable. 8:00 O'clock
