PROHIBITION ASSOCIATION
MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT
| Of the various literary and oratorical
j organizations in our university, there is
i not one which offers greater opportuni-
i ties to a young man than the Prohibition
[ Association. This is a comparatively recent organization, and perhaps its worth
is not realized to the extent that it should
'he. A few words relative to the purpose and history of the Probition Association might serve to rouse interest.
The organization is strictly a college
one. The chapters of the national association are established in schools or colleges. A large percentage of all the
colleges in America have a local chapter.
There is one here at Stetson. It wTas
organized in the Spring of iqii, by the
1 national secretary. Mr. A. M. R. Law-
| rence was the first president.
The object of the association is to pro-
j/mO.te a campaign of education against
the legalized liquor traffic. The official organ of the association is mailed
free to all members upon payment of
dues. The entire scheme of government
is suited to college men. Articles are
written by them for the paper. Winning
orations are copied and published.
The plan of the association is as comprehensive as it is large and detailed.
! In brief it is as follows: Once each year
the local chapter of each school has an
oratorical contest. The winner in this
|local contest represents his school in a
Lstate contest, in which he competes with
f -epresentatives from the other colleges
jf his state, who have won just as he
did. The winner is then eligible for the
inter-state contest in which he competes
with the winners of half a dozen or more
of other state contests. And lastly, the
orator who is so fortunate as to win this
third time, has the honor of "trying his
hand" in the national contest. The winner is proclaimed as the champion orator
of the National Intercollegiate Prohibition Association. Which is no small honor.
Young gentlemen! Here is a golden
opportunity! If you are interested in
public speaking, you have here a fair field
in which to put forth your best efforts.
Now, at the next Y. M. C. A. meeting i.
e. on November the seventh (7th) the
local president of the Prohibition Association will be in the chair, and the topic
for discussion will be .along these lines.
Doctor Farriss will be the speaker of the
evening and his record in dealing with
questions, warrants something worth hearing. There will be no other meeting this
term.
You are urged to be present. You
will learn more of this association. Our
annual contest will probablv be held
in January. And in April, the state
contest will be held in the Auditorium.
Last year it was at Lake City. The year
before at Jacksonville. Come out and
see and learn!
ALPHA KAPPA FSPS ENTERTAINED
Fri'lay afternoon and evening, Oct.
25th., the Alpha Kappa Psi Fraternity
were entertained by one of the members
Helen Taylor, at her beautiful home on
the shore of Lake Lindlay. A dainty
supper was served on the border of the
lake, lighted fantastically by Japanese
lanterns and jack-o-lanterns. while tthe
rising moon completed the picture. After
this some of the crowd went boating while
others gathered around a campfire. Later
all went to the house where they enjoyed
themselves and each other very much,
each performing her favorite "stunt". The
journey home through the pine woods
in the moonlight completed a delightful
evening.
