Stetson University Del.AM), FLORIDA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1912 NO. 4 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. THE CLASS OF (913 ORGANIZES.
