It. McQuillan gets his men into good condition for the games to be played this year. Coach McQuillan believes that snappy training for a short time followed by a period of relaxation is far better than gruelling practice by the hour. Following this rule he malves his men do everything with a rush and follows immediately with a short period of rest. Coach McQuillan has been reticent in the past week about giving out names of candidates for positions but this week has released a list of names of men who are making an effort to UNIVERSITY WILL BACK ALL STUDENT ACTIVITIES IN '24 Athletic Endeavors Closely Followed by Many Other Things As school gets under way, students are beginning to take time to look into the future far enough to see what the- prospects are for Stetson before the close in June. There has been much discussion of the athletic prospects in football and basketball. It is generally conceded that Stetson will have strong varsities in both, but athletics do not constitute the life of the school entirely. . Already there is much talk of dramatics on the campus. If present plans materialize the dramatics of the school this year will be exceedingly popular and well played. Then there is debating to be consid- Stetson Will be Honored by Visit From U. S.

The -fellows named above have been reporting on the football field regularly ;and have been lighting hard for the positions |on the field. Every day there are a large number of university students out on the bleachers watching the. practice and the feminine part of the spectators are heard to gasp with excitement often as the coach, makes the boys gp through, some curious antiques or' perform some exceptionally difficult feat. A number ,of the men who played with the Stetson University team last year have reported for duty this year. Probably tho most prominent of these, is Captain Kirk Gunby who is doing what is considered good work on the field at his regular! position of center. Much is expected from this, man during the 1924 sea- (Continued From Page One) There is also indication that the orchestra and glee club will be successful.

Fletcher, United States Senator from Flor- j ida, • omjtho campus. Following the regular chapel services that day, Mr. j Fletcher will address the student body on a topic, the subject of which has not been announced. This announcement comes as a complete surprise to the student body although the plans have been underway for some time. Senator Fletcher is one of the trustees of Stetson universisty and comes here in answer to an invitation sent him by Dr. Hulley to be present with the faculty and student body during the opening days of this college year. ■Senator Fletcher has always evidenced an interest in Stetson and this interest coupled with his experience as one oZ the leaders of national thought in the United States capital will make his appearance before the Stetson students one of the great events of the opening season and also of the year. It is thought this talk will be one ' of great interest to the entire school I and because of the Senator s wide i experience is expected to be of great value to the entire student body. —o SENATOR-WILL TALK HERE ON SEPTEMBER 26 iuS PUBLISHED OF SUBSCRIBERS TO SCHOOL PAPER After Campaign Manager Makes Statement; Thanks Given SENATOR FLETCHER FOR FIRST SESSION tercd to this year. 1-v highly prob able these facts will lend to advertise Stetson more than anything else. It is known that supremacy in any one branch of work attracts notice but a University should be well-rounded, it is thought. Science Department Has Large Increase Although the largest increase in enrollment in Stetson university this year has been in the law and engineering departments, reports from Professor Barrell of the science department this week show his chemistry classes are much larger than last year's. The freshman class in 1923 opening was about 20 while about 36 are enrolled in the freshman chemistry class this year. There are not enough places in the chemistry laboratory to allow each person taking the subject to have a separate desk.

On the other hand, much may be said of the Stetson spirit. A person on this campus is a great friend and regardless of personal friendship through personal contact. The great results obtained from the "digger anjd Better Stets,on Plan" show there is also a great spirit in ,the student, body toward the institution as a whole. Since this is an admitted fact, one in which we may glory, it is up to every student to see that in no way is the spirit broken down. It.will probably ^mmsm^^^^^^^^^^ known as that of Florida. B,y the time the Stetson student body is as large as that of Florida then we can more easily compare the spirit of the campus and we venture to say the Stetson spirit will stand the comparison favorably.
