STETSON COLLEGIATE WEEKLY Official Student Publication of John B. Stetson University VOLUME 32 ^ DELAND, FLORIDA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1923 NUMBER 10. - CHEMICAL DEPT. OF STETSON UNIVERSITY The Chemical Department of the University occupies all of the lower floor of the north wing of Rlagler Science Hall, as well as two or three rooms in the central Hall to the South. This department has long Jbeen recognized as one of the strongest in the college, and with reason, for with the splendid equipment, combined with the very excellent teaching ability of its head, the department is very fortunate. The department occupies seven rooms in the North end of the build- ' ing, with a large general laboratory which has facilities for more than fifty students accommodated at individual desks, each student having individual equipment and the personal supervision of Professor Bar- rell. The advanced students, and those engaged in special research work, have a separate laboratory, just south of the general laboratory, and connection with this room and the main Tiall. Here they have an equipment for advanced and research work which is excelled by few of the schools of the South. Here one may find the most delicate, as well as accurate of instruments, such as analytical balances, compensators, chemical microscopes, nitrometers, and one might continue almost indefinitely • with the list, all however of a quality which makes for the most accurate ©f work. Across the. hall there is the large splendidly equipped stockroom with its tiers upon tiers in reserve chemicals, chemicals gathered from the four-corners of the world, waiting to serve in the education of Stetson boys and girls in the fields of chemistry. It is hard to realize the immense number of chemicals which must be carried in stock in one of thes laboratories and the widely separated lands from which they come, here are the potash compounds from class has a regular meeting, time, on each Tuesday evening at 7:30 p. m. Papers upon new developments in the field of chemistry are read and discussed. Talks, as well as illustrated lectures broaden the minds of the students and open up new fields for their work. Already this year splendid meetings have been held, at which Dr. Hulley gave those present a real treat in his illustrated lecture upon the by-products of coal. From the commonplace dry looking lumps of coal it was found came fifty or more distinct products each; almost a separate industry within itself, and all worth countless millions of dollars. Socials are also given from time to time, and the students become acquainted in a way that would not be possible otherwise. This year the club has a membership of nearly fifty, and we of the chemical department are expecting great things from it before the end of the school year 0 SCHOOL OF SCANDAL ORGANIZED WEDNESDAY EVE. Saturday's Game Play By Play nitrates rom South America, rows of chemicals from the best commercial laboratories of Europe and America. One can hardly realize the amount of chemicals which are required to satisfy the daily requirements of the 50 or 75 students who spend from two to four hours in its laboratories each day. In all more than 20 separate courses are available for students of the University, any one of which requires two hours of work each day. Then there is also unlimited opportunity for specializing in any one line #mce the student has fitted himself to do so by the completion of the fundamental courses. One feature which has been of valuable assistance, not only to- the students, but to the city and surrounding cities as well is the fact that this equipment, and student body are -willing at all times to be used in assisting the people outside the school in determining the chemical content of materials of which they are in doubt. The department has made analysis of water not only of this, but surrounding towns, and stands ready at all times to assist whenever possible the people who come to its laboratories for these services. No charge is made for the work unless it be in exceptional cases, and the individual student is enabled to learn through actual research work, in -these cases, the fundamentals of his course. Not a little of the success of the department has been due to the ability of the teaching force of the department, Prof. Barrell. Possessing a pleasing personality, a friendly smile, as well as an exceptionally thorough knowledge of his work, Mr. Barrel has established standards of work which he may well be proud. As those of my readers who have worked in the laboratories will agree, at times when unknowns refuse to be known, or formule to form themselves into equations, the life of the chemical student is anything but an easy one. At such times as this Mr. Barrell in his sympathetic way, with sure and quick analysis, puts the students on the track once more., One of the most valuable as well as entertaining features of the department is the Krucible Club, an organization of the Chemistry students in all classes of the department. This The first meeting of the School for Scandal was held in the Law Library last Wednesday evening. This is a secret society, but the members agreed to make it known that the. following officers were elected: President ? Vice President ? Secretary ? Treasurer ? This society was organized for the purpose of discussing the latest gossip of Chaudoin, DeLand Hall, Conrad, and the various frat. houses. Much dirt was done at the meeting Wednesday night and the society is growing by leaps and bounds.

O BAND DID GREAT WORK The question was asked by Stetson men and DeLand enthusiasts, who's to blame for this band? The question is answered in one word—Hulley. Dr. Hulley understood the need for a Military band in the University, and when Mrs. Kenefick asked the necessary funds and backing to make the Band possible, he was ready to give this Band to Stetson. The attitude of the officials in supporting the boys in their endeavor and in employing .the services of a competent instructor and director, gives permanence to the organization. The highest commendation for the efforts of the band men in last Saturday's game came from the members and officials of the team, and coaches. Said Bill Gunby: "It sure took the kinks out of my backbone when that music came rolling out across the field. And when something happened you could always count on the Band butting in with 'What the hang da we care?' And you know the result." Charlies Henderscm, manager of Stetson's team, said: "Boys, it changes everything; the Band did as much to Wrrrtnat game as air^Trhrg else." Every member of the victorious Hatters declared that the youthful Stetson Band was the finest innovation in the University as far as pep is concerned, in years. The band was out both weeks before and after the game, and will be out in the future upon like occasions, because the college needs the kind of a spirit that Militaiw 'Bands engender. It is the Band Boys' way of helping that squad on the field, or the bunch which wishes to "Show the world how it feels to be a member of the Hatter Gang." What are the plans of the Stetson Band? They're just as high and broad as possible to make them. It is planned this year to build from ':he/ Veterans, a mere handf ull, and with constant additions and practice among the new material, a machine which will be able to emphasize "Loyalty to Stetson." And a rna- chine which in the years to come will be merely a foundation for a band— a band that will as truly put Stetson on the map as will the continuing victories of the football team. The boys who are doing the "loud and noisy" and making snake dances and parades successful make up a fairly complete intrumentation. The clarinet section is especially efficient. Dana Faulkner, on the E flat clarinet, who played with the Georgia Military Academy Band this summer and is now with "DeLand's Own", and John Rosa, well known member of "DeLand's Own" and a local exponent of Jazz, Charlie Bos- sert, of the East "coast and ALPHA XIS WIN SCHOLARSHIP CUP There was a tense atmosphere of suspense and excitement among the girls on the campus the day last year's fraternity grades were averaged. Five years ago Jacksonville Pan-Hellenic gave to Stetson Pan- Hellanic a silver loving cup to be given to the fraternity which had the highest standing in scholarships the preceding year, and to be awarded permanently to the fraternity obtaining the cup for three years. Both Pi Phi's and Alpha Xi's had had the cup for two years, thus making the race more interesting. The final average of 91.03. The Tri Delts came in second with an overage of 90.33. with Pi. Phi's last, at 88:75. This is the second time a scholarship cup has ibeen awarded a Stetson fraternity by the Jacksonville Pan-Hellenic, the Pi Phi's winning the other. Both cups proved "to be great incentives to the girls. O PHI BETA Phi Beta Fraternity takes pleasure in announcing the pledging, on Monday, Nov. 5th, of the following girls: The Misses Elizabeth Brownley, Per- sis Burns, Dorothy Deets, Ruby Dial, Lydia Harris, Lois Hon, Marion Kenefick, Marie Kirk, Iline Link, Merceda Lloyd, Dorothy Moseman, Katherine Peters, Lillian .Trice, Margaret Van Cleeve. O TRI DELTA NOTES The Tri Delta Rats no longer number unlucky thirteen. They have welcomed Miss Lyda Harris into their midst. The new pledge promises to make an "ideal" Rat and a splendid fraternity member. Nell Lane has returned home. She and her "High Powered Hudson" are Tri Delta Rats are settling down to business. / Organization and election of officers took place Wednesday afternoon. The old girls have been informed that there are great times ahead. With 14 energetic and lively pledges there is certain to be some real fun in the frat rooms this winter. However, there will be plenty of work, too. Each Rat is striving to make her grades the best possible. They plan to carry out that old slogan: "Work while you work, and play play while you play." In so doing, they will make a good year of it. O PHI SIGMA ETA • Buck, of DeLand, constitute a real "Big Band" clarinet section- Cromer, from the East Coast, Jack Jolly, and Graff Carr of DeLand, make up the Saxaphones. Charles Brisson, of Sanford, and Odus Evans, of Eustis, with cornets, Otis Pharr, of Georgia, who spent several years with the 122nd Regular Infantry Band, on Alto; George Ackroyd, Smith and Malcom Dykes, of Eustis, on Trombones; Donald Faulkner, the leader and instructor, on Baritone; together with Ed Henderson and Mr. Lane, on Basses, complete a well rounded brass section. Maurice Foster and DeLand, and Edgar Dorcey, on the At a meeting of the Phi Sigma Eta, held last evening in its usual quarters, several important business matters were taken up and reports given by the various committees. Brother Marvin was initiated as an active member and all agreed that he met the requirements one hundred per cent. (To use an expression familiar to all members. The attendance was all that could be desired, all members being present. Next Tuesday evening was £he date definitely decided on for the dinner, to be given at one of the Inns downtown. The entertainment committee has guaranteed to have an excellent peaker as one feature of the occasion and other events will be arranged for. The committee is saving the details of their arrangements as a surprise to the members, drums, have each had much experience. Taken all together, the Band is pleasing the University, the people of DeLand, the team and the boys themselves, all of whom look not so keenly at the accomplishments of the present as to the expectations of the future. O Are your lamps focused perfectly? —Advt. "Well," replied the flapper, "I've been told that mine are the finest in the land." Jones: " the trout was anyway this long. I tell you I never saw a fish like that." Bro. Rice: "No, I reckon you never did." ADAM and EVA Friday, Nov. 23 8. P. M. UNIVERSITY AUDITORIUM
