JSty £>ftte0tt M^klg (Mlajtafc THE ONLY STUDENTS' PUBLICATION OF JOHN B. STETSON UNIVERSITY. Vol. XXVI. No. 3. DeLand, Florida, Friday, October 17, 1913. $1.00 per Year- MARYVILLE.STETSON. FIRST ON SCHEDULE—OCTOBER 20, DATE. Fast Tennessee Team on Way to Play Stetson. The burning question on the minds of the students at Stetson is "what are we going to do to Maryville? The heavy team from Tennessee comes to Florida with a good reputation, and a good fast game may be looked for by the local football enthusiasts. On Saturday Maryville journeys to Gainesville to meet Coach Pyles' crew, and Monday Jordan's men will take a fall out of them, or at least this is the way the fans dope it out. Maryville has been playing good fast ball this season, and has lined up against some of the best teams in the Middle South, which makes them an experienced team, while this will be the first tryout for Stetson. However, we are sure, going to take home the bacon with the help of a big bunch of loyal rooters to encourage the fellows, so come out and give them a good old Stetson Yell. The squad has been hammering away at good old time football this week, and it is that kind of plugging that will make a team. It is essential that the team learn the rudiments of the game before the classy plays that "Steve" has up his sleeve can be practiced and learned, but next week the new dope will be tried out. Stetson football stock took an advance, and caused a smile* to come into the faces of those who were here last year when "Babe" Phillips center of last years team returned to school and donned a suit Wednesday evening, ready for practice. Those who remember "Babe" of last year will remember him as a small lad' of 200 pounds avoirdupois. However, Phillips says that he lost two pounds this summer, and as a result, is faster than ever. From now on some pretty fights will ensue for those line positions, and if the backfield "is as well taken care of we will be in perfect shape. Here is the tentative dope on the schedule: October 20, Maryville College at DeLand. J. R. PARROTT DIES. AT SUMMER CAMP PIONEER PASSES AWAY. President of East Coast and Leading Citizen Stricken. Mr. J. R. Parrott, president of the Florida East Coast Railway, died at his summer camp in Oxford, Me., last Monday. Mr. Parrot was one of the pioneer settlers of Florida, coming to this state some twenty-five or thirty years ago. He was born in Oxford October 30, 1859. He was a graduate of Yale and while a student there was active in athletics, being a member of the football team and pulling stroke oar on the crew. After leaving college he came to Florida and practised law for awhile, but soon became interested in the railroad business. He was first connected with the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West road, then receiver for the Florida Southern, and finally going with the Florida East Coast in 1892 as one of the vice-presidents. At the time of his death he was president of the road and one of three trustees of the estate of the late Henry M. Flagler. He was also prominent in Jacksonville banking circles, being one of the vice- presidents of the Florida National Bank of that city. o STETSON LITS PUT ON LID. THE EUSOPHIANETTES. REORGANIZE SOCIETY.

November 15, Mercer at Val- dosta, Ga. November 22, Florida at De- Land. On Saturday evening, October eleventh, the feminine portion of the disbanded "Eusophian Lit" formally re-organized as the "Eusophian Literary Society,'' the same name being retained on account of old associations (or perhaps on account of the very good-looking banner which has Eusophian conspicuously displayed on its shining 'folds). With Miss Emma Williams presiding as temporary chairman, a new constitution was read, discussed and portions of it adopted, and the following officers were elected: President—Miss Addie Grace Waterman. Vice President—Miss Marguerite Pflug. Secretary—Miss Emma Williams. Treasurer—Miss Nell Keown. Program Manager—Miss Louise Hulley. Censor—Miss Constance Waterman. Reporter—Miss Irene Randall. Board Member—Miss Frankie E. Sheddan. Critic—Miss Betty Lewis. A very long and enthusiastic meeting followed and the names of the many applicants for membership were discussed and those deemed intellectually worthy of the feast of reason and the flow of wit offered by the new society, were voted in. Although the "Votes for women" signs has not yet been displayed over the sacred portals the Eusophian Literary Society, nee the Eusophian Lit., is going to show her divorced partner what a real literary society is like. A committee was appointed to arrange about the alimony, so that in the near future we may be sporting a large, fat bank account and a bare unfurnished room, or a thin, hungry bank account and a beautifully furnished room. Only time and the business ability of the Alimony Committee can settle this question, but, gentlemen, we warn you! Beware! We are emancipated! And we may end with both the bank WITH THE SORORITIES. ENTERTAIN FAIR CO-EDS. BIG TIME LAST FRIDAY. New Pan-Hellenic Association Starts Season Happily. Continued on Page 8 Last Friday evening the newly organized Pan-Hellenic Society of the sororities at Stetson entertained for the Freshmen Co-eds in the Y. W. C. A. rooms. Only the College girls were invited thus causing some comment among the other sex who thot that they might have as much as a look-in on the proceedings. This was the first social affair given by the new organization and reflected much credit on the young ladies of both sororities who labored long and hard to make the event a success. As a result the evening will be remembered as one of great pleasure when all sorority rivalry was suspended and everybody met on an equal basis. Under the guidance of the committee of members from both sororities, the rooms were transformed by a profusion of decorations which blended well with the fair ones in attendance. The guests, as they arrived, were met by Miss Helen Taylor and Miss Bessie Gunn, and were divided into three sets for three progressive amusements. Miss Harkness and Miss Eldredge attended to the conversation, Miss Keown and Miss Williams conducted a Mother Goose contest, and relay races were run in the hall under the tutelage of Miss Blocker and Miss Lewis. Refreshments in the guise of punch (Not the Y. M. kind) were dispensed at odd moments during the evening and the University orchestra soothed the souls of the ladies thruout the time. After the more serious matters such as the games and refreshments has been settled the orchestra became possessed with the desire of seeing the effect of syncopated music and cut loose with the latest dope. The result was as instantaneous and the rest of the time was spent in sliding over the floor, all the latest creeps being well executed. The Pan-Hellenic Association is planning many similar affairs for the year and if they are as successful as the initial one, another delightful side will be added to the social life of the school.
