STETSON COLLEGIATE WEEKLY Official Student Publication of John -B. Stetson University VOLUME 32 PI PHI'S BUSY THIS RUSH SEASON; GIRLS UP FOR WEEK END Many old Pi Phi's have been back in DeLand for a few days to help on with rushing season; also some of the \ Chaudoin girls got "invites" to stay in town over the week-end. It seemed mighty good to some of the older students here to see some familiar faces around the campus and on the streets. Among the alumni members of Pi Beta Phi, who were here for a while were: Madge and Frankie Maxwell, from Eustis; Miss Dorothy Klock, of Orlando; Miss Martha Moore Patrick of Tampa; Miss Lady Lois Town- send, who is teaching in Daytona Beach; Miss Judy Collins, who is also in Daytona Beach; and Miss Miha Cunningham, who got out of Chaudoin some way or other. All this bunch of girls formed a little house, party'at Mrs. Townshend's. Others who were here were: Miss Augusta Wynn of Kissimmee, who was the gu.fcpv' of Dorothy Douglass at her home on West New York avenue; Miss Abie Lapham of Cocoa, who was the guest of Miss Rebeka Stewart; Miss Margaret Moore of Stewart, who was the guest of Miss Ruby Jackson; Miss Lillian Parks of Sanford, who also spent the week-end with Dot Douglass. The girls were "honored by the presence of Miss Amy 13. Onken of Chapen, 111., the grand president of Pi Beta Phi. Among the other activities of the Pi Phi's, was a dinner party given "by the members of their rushees at Cataneo's Grill in Daytona on last Friday night. The girls left Chau- <ioin in cars at about six for the •coast and returned to DeLand by ten -thirty, thus setting a speed record for all sorority affairs for all time to DR. HULLEY SPEAKS BEFORE THE K. KLUB -o- MY FATHER Speaking to the Krucible Klub on last Tuesday night, Dr. Hulley held the largest attendance of the year throughout the evening with a lecture on Coal. ' Starting with the first by-product that was used to any extent, he brought the interesting scory of coal and its by-products up to the point where there were seventy-five seperate important by-products not counting the some three hundred distinct dyes and twelve hundred different shades. "Coke," said Dr. Hulley, "was the first by-product of coal to be of any general use. It made one man rich and started one of the country's most important industries." Inu- merable others were mentioned, many of them are not generally known as by-products of coal, such as perfume, benzol, phenol and others. , He further said that the city of Pittsburgh in a short time would be free from dirt and soot caused by the burning of coal in the furnaces and the expelling through the smoke stacks of millions of dollars worth of useful gasses that has for so long a time been wasted. This smoke that causes so much trouble will soon be converted into useful things and the money that is now wasted will be saved. The Krucible Klub this year is far surpassing its past attendance and the interest is much greater than ever before. Those that have not as yet joined our ranks are cordially invited to come and sign the roll. We are anxious that this year will continue to be the best■year year that has ever been known in the club. This can only be accomplished by the cooperation of the chemistry students. We will be looking for you at the next meeting. Don't forget the day, Tuesday at seven-thirty. O- WE FOUND THIS DELAND, FLORIDA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1923. STETSON LOSESlTO SOUTHERN IN LAKELAND BY SCORE 14-13 NUMBER 6 Strong of limb and tall among thy fellow men, Above them all in force, in mind, in soul; In cleanliness a man apart from those Who foul their minds or drain the foaming bowl! To match thy brain none others need aspire; That eye,, that brow, with wisdom's self was lit; "Sparing of speech, in reason strong, thy word To close the argument was deemed most fit. In lowly walks of life, in humble toil, In service of thy fellow man were found The holy paths of hourly work and praise, And faithful living in Lpve's daily round. To clothe the naked sixty years were given To weaving yards of doe skins, one by one; And into warp and woof were wrought the beauty Of worthy service truly nobly done. Heaven grant that I mak take thy great example, And through the years may work in me the love Of noble thoughts, kind deeds, and gentle feeling, Like those who set their minds on things, above. To clothe the naked with the royal purple Of honest work, .and noble thought and life Let this be mine, my noble worthy father, And may I be as faithful in the strife. 0 Today Mrs. Hemans would have to •call it a rock-and-rye bound coast. —Boston Herald.

Mr. Augustus L. Dunn, Phi Kappa Delta House, DeLand, Fla. Dear Gus: I am writing this letter as a friend so do not take offense. You do not seem to realize that time, is passing in front of you now, it is the one time of your life. It seems that you do not know the value of education at this time. A man without an education in these passing days is a waste to the world. " I may not know and you might not realize how your father, your mother, brother or sister are possibly sacrificing the things that are rightfully theirs to send you to school and keep you in good company with the world in its rapid strides toward greater and higher ideals in life. Now is the time that there should be a turning point in your life, this point may be for the better or for the worse, however, let us hope that it will be for the better. Your mother and father are watching you with the eye of an eagle to see how you will turn out when you reach the wide road of life. From this road there is no turning back to accomplish the things, that in- your past life you have left unaccomplished. You do not seem to realize that the stage of life that you are now passing through is the one stage that may litefally make or break you. For the sake of those back home who are sacrificing to keep you here at the seat of knowledge and are praying that you may, when the point in the wide road that is called manhood is reached, turn out to be a son that they will be proud to point out as theirs. For the sake of your mother, your father or sweetheart, I am asking you to try to ' do better. Your friend, GLEN SUNDY. O REWARD For the arrest and conviction of the bloody villian who locked Gilbert May in his room, leaving him only one chance of escape, which was over the transom.

The least we say about this game the better, because if we say too n uch, we might get mad and say something we ought not to say. No comments are needed on the game because if any are made something is sure to be said that ought not to be. None are necessary because almost all of the student body and many of the faculty saw the game while a big gathering of the old Stetson students were at the game. Stetson kicked off to Southern and the South Florida bunch made one first down. The Hatters held and took the ball from the Methodists. On straight line plays mixed in with an attempted forward pass which failed, Stetson carried the ball over for the first touchdown of the game. Whitnell kicked goal and the score was 7-0. Soon after the second quarter started Stetson fumbled and Southern recovered. The entire right hand side of the Southern lilne was off sides, but the officials were seemingly unable to see such things. Stetson again took the ball, but on the first play a pass from the center was missed in the backfield and the Southern men who had broken thru picked up the ball and went for a eouchdown. Southern kicked goal. Score 7-7. In the second half, after playing evenly for a few minutes Southern pulled a trick play for v. thirty-yard gain. Whitnell being the only man between the Southern and the goal Southern hit the line with their big half back and carried the ball to the ten-yard line. The big half faked for the center of the line and went around right end for a touchdown. SQU£_.er-r> lr.V1-*"-! _>---'• <ar.__-.j «= era 14; Stetson 7. With four min utes left to play the Hatters opened a line attack with Covington and Johnson hitting the Southern line for eight and ten yardsd at a play. By this method they carried the ball from the fifteen yard line to the middle of the field where a pass from Covington to Whitnell scored a touchdown! On the try for goal after touchdown, the kick was close and the referee called no goal. Whitnell thought otherwise and objected to the decision. It is said that Whit got the referee told in no uncertain terms and he was put out of the game. This was one of the decisions that make us say something if we were to make any comment on the game. With three minutes left to play, the Methodists knew that the Hatters had small chance of scoring again with Whitnell out of the game. This is all need be said about the game directly. Tiny Tatum, heavy Hatter guard, was out of the game on account of an injury to his finger. The end of the finger was mashed to the bone and it is not known how long he will be out of the line-up. Ossinsky, the star tackle, was also out of ,the lineup. Everybody expected to find Tiny ready to play when they got to Lakeland and instead found his arm in a sling which no doubt hurt the Hatter chances. The Hatters.play Southern here in November and at that time it is cer tain that one point difference will not lose the football game and it is certain that the Hatters will not be the f/nes behind when the fin .1 whistle lit aws. Come to the game when TARS NOW WORKING HARD ON GRIDIRON Rollins is indeed fortunate in getting so many- stellar pigskin chasers to join her ifanks this fall. . The new men are as fine a string of football men as any school could wish for. They are in themselves enough to build a team around. Taking these men and adding to them the men that fought under the Blue and Gold for the last two and three years, Wight will be able to develop a football machine that will be practically invicible. The new men ' are not all of the same type. There are many linemen and many backfield men. Eeach is a star in his own department. There will be no danger in putting any one of them in the game. They have all received excellent coaching and have a great quantity of football brains themselves. The line is the place they will help the most. The team with a weak line, no matter how strong their back- field may be, is lost when they get up against a good squad. No team can win with poor defense. The new linemen that are coming into the Rollins fold for the season of 1923 are first, Clark Perault of Warren, Ohio. Perault is a man of ample football experience. He has pl'ayed the game all during his high school career and even long before that. Perault is not a heavy man. In fact he is rather light for a good lineman. To offset this he has the speed and fight of a half a dozen ordinary tackles. In high school it was seldom a man was able to go through his position for any appreciable gain. It was the sar,.» as running into a solid brick wall. That will be the case in his college career. With the coaching that Wight will be able to give him, Perault will make a demon tackle. Next comes Wilson, formerly of Ohio State University. Wilson was, in the days gone by, a backfield man and an end. This season in all probability he will play center. Wight has taken him away from his usual haunts and broken him in until Wilson is as accurate a passer as any backfield man could wish for. He is a strong defensive man as well and will be a big addition to the Blue and Gold during the coming season. LaFroos is the third of the new men. He will play at guard. Lafroos will be in a great many games alternate with the old guards who are back unler the school colors again this year. He is a strong man on the defense and offense as well. He should do wonders with a little coachinf. Donaldson, formerly of Bucknell University, will play a guard this year. Donaldson is a man of fourteen years' gridiron experience. He is a demon for punishment and as strong a man on the offense as any school could wish for. With his years of experience he will be a great aid to Wight in developing a championship squad for 1923. These men will fill the greatest gaps in the Blue and Gold squad. There are many others who are equally as good as the ones mentioned. They are all backfield men and ends. With these men to alternate with the regulars ,Rollins is going to have one of the fastest, most shifty outfits FREE PASSES Here's some good news sure^enough4 The Dreka Theatre is going to give away four free passes to its performances every week to Stetson students. There will be two girls and two boys selected each week to get these passes, each pass being good for two admissions. These passes will be given out irrespective of social standing, rating, etc. The names will be taken at random from the student body. HOW DO I GET A PASS? you ask. It's simple. Just read the Collegiate ads every week, and there tucked away in some ad, you are likely to find your name. This starts next week. Look all through the paper till you find your name and then go to the box office and your pass will be waiting. KANGAROO COURT AGAIN CONVENES The Old men on tho compus, last week again saw the need of a little reminder to the new men that they were still Rats and were not as yet allowed to do and say what they pleased. It seemed, de-spite the fact that just the week before there was held a court for their benefit in Conrad Hall, that several of the most insubordinate Rats were not wearing their rat caps and it was also reported that most of them could not find the button when they passed an old man or a lady. This, in iitself, is a most henious crime and the penalty should not be less than fifty licks with a barrel stave or- a hundred with a belt. A few of the violators were brought before the High Muckadamuck and had pointed out to them the necessity of complying with all the rat rules. Rat Bill Parsons was brought before the High and mighty judge on a very serious crime. This crime in itself should have been his undoing. By glancing over the cases that have been brought before this court in other years there has never been such a charge against a measly little rat before. His charge was that he had been the cause of the breaking of a date that rightfully belonged to the judge that was trying this particular case. The court voted to have this Rat thrown out of the window on his ear, but due to the forgiving nature of the High Muckadamuck he was allowed to leave the court in an almost "whole" condition. Rat Scalf has the honor, no matter how painful it might be, of holding the record for attendance at the court. This rat is literally batting a thousand when it comes to attendance in rM court. He has been charged with some crime too serious to relate and brought before the judge for mercy. We feel for him the next time he is in evidence at the Rat Blakely was another that was on the docket, but as the Old Man who had a charge against him was not present to state the nature of this Rat's misdemeanor, he was allowed to leave the court without sentence being passed on him. Rat Forbes was charged with non delivery and carelessness with the mail in Conrad Hall. We understand that Rat Forbes is studying for the ministry, but we fear that that is not his calling, for in our humble judgment we think he should be a lawyer. Can " you imagine it? He argued the judge to his side and got away with it. Rats John Kennedy and Vining were very henious Rats and their fate is now in the hands of the jury. In a few more days if the jury does not return a verdict a mistrial will be declared. Already this week the docket is rapidly filling, andit seems that this term we will have a full house. We are under the impression, too, that Rat Scalf will be present. TRI DELT RUSHING PARTY GOES TO LAKELAND SAT Marking the close of their 1923 rushing season, the Tri Delts enter— tained their prospective pledges with a motor party and a dinner after the Stetson-Southern game at Lakeland. Leaving Chaudoin at eight, Saturday morning, the girls traveled all through the morning and stopped off for lunch at Max Beach, about ten miles out of Lakeland; from there, the party arrived in Lakeland in time for the Stetson game. Everyone enjoyed this stage as much as they could under the distressing "circumstances, but afterwards they adjourned to Hotel Thelma in Lakeland, where they enjoyed a dinner that was very beautifully served and also very tasty. The Tri Delts had the dining room to themselves, which was decorated in the sorority colors, and with flow- \ ers. At the close of' the dinner, Miss Mason Graves rose and thanked the old girls on behalf of the rushees for the delightful time that they had and were still enjoying; this toast was responded to by one of the old girls. After dinner was well over, the merry party "wended their way homeward", arriving in DeLand at an hour that at the present writing, cannot be determined. This affair was by far the most elaborate that any sorority has given this fall, and was a fitting climax to a very successful rushing season. -0- HOBOES HIS WAY TO HARVARD in the South this year.

The three men chosen, as announced Thursday by Dr. Percy Scott Flippin, chairman of the scholarship committee, are Isben Giddens Wilkes, Adel; Rabun B. Brantley, Sylvania, and W. A. Bootle, Reidsville. All of these students have been given honors by the student body and faculty of the university and stand high in scholarship. -i 0 TESTIMONIAL Dear Doctor: I used to have a wart on the back of my neck which i used for a collar button, but after taking two bottles of your medicine to remove it, I can now hold my pants up with it. .,_...,_, lit Ui_ iJUtr.,.1 ...i-il he started, Gilbert L. Parks, who hoboed from Oklahoma to Cambridge to attend Harvard College, arrived in the city and received an official welcome from Mayor Quinn. Parks explained to Mayor Quinn how he made his way from Oklahoma to New York City on 13 cents, but rode into Boston on a train because he feared to shock the sensibilities of persons in and about Boston. The youth declared Chicago waa the first big city he ever was in. He traveled from Chicago to Buffalo working as a deck hand on a lake steamship, and after that v came odd jobs along the highway, with lifts from friendly motorists. Making a little money in New York, Parks thought he had better ride into Boston in style, so he boarded a train. Parksr who neither smokes drinks, was congratulated by Mayor, who told the youth he bound to succeed. ' — 0 MOTHER WELLS ENTERTAINS WITH A THEATRE PARTY nor th« was Miss Ruth Houston and her sorority sisters of Alpha Zi Delta, were delightfully entertained with a theatre party at the Dreka on Friday afternoon. This affair was given by Mrs. E. L. ("Mother") Wells, in honor of Miss Houston's marriage, which will be an event of the near future. The party, which consisted of the Alpha Zi's, and their pledges, and other invited guests, started at the Dreka Theatre, where a section roped off in Alpha Zi colors had been reserved for them, following the presentation of "From Dusk To Dawn," the girls and their friends went to the King Drug Company, and were there served with dainty confections and pastry. The refreshments consisted of ice cream in the shape of beautiful roses, with cakes in the shape of Chrisanthamums. Miss Ruth Houston is an alumni of Stetson, but she has made her home in DeLand for the past year since her graduation, and she has continued to take an active part in all college doings. After her marriage to Mr. David Tuten, she will, no doubt, continue to make DeLand her home, since Mr. Tuten is cashier of the First National Bank of DeLand. 0 First Greece, then Jugo-Slavia.
