WEEKLY VOLUME 32 ^STETSON TO HAVE ■t A FUN MAGAZINE The students of Stetson will soon be the recipients of a hard thrust in the shape of ,a new magazine in the shape of a new publication. After careful consideration of the question, several of the journalists of the school have gotten together and formed a group, all of whom will be behind the new publication which is to be a humorous magazine, published every three months until conditions allow its monthly issuance. Sfnce it has become a fashion, 'leges to print hot jokes and jus articles in" the shape of us magazines, it is the be- f>e editor of this new publi- Official Student Publication of Jolin B. Stetson University DELAND, FLORIDA, WEDNESIMAY, DEC. 19, 1923 NUMBER 15 STETSON'S ORCHESTRA MADE FAVORABLE RECORD Though but two short months have elapsed since the organizatiohi of Stetson's orchestra, under the capable and untiring direction of Donald Faulkner, the musical troupe have succeeded in making quite a favorable record, having made their appearance before large audiences. The first appearance was to aid in the play "Adam and Eva," the second occurred last Thursday night in the Sanford/ concert of the Stetson Glee clubs. From the applause given the orchestra and the comencration of many of tfie audience, it was evidenced that Stetson's orchestra was on the way to musical success. ■' it will take at Stetson, pla,ipported by the entire vie one hundred per cent. At this concert, a standard American overture was well rendered. A very beautiful cornet solo by Chas.

A jrood cartoonist is in demand, two Ipartmental editors, and several as- stant business managers, a circula- on manager, and a couple of as- stants on this end. It is hoped by le present staff that a good repre- mtation will come out of the rest Ef the student body, to take their lace on he new publication. It is especially desired that a good '"■artoonist present himself to take lis place on the staff. Not only one ;s wanted, but several. It is expected that the publication '-will take its place in the state quickly, due to the fact that there are rno other publications of similar na- '"\re, with the exception of the wamp Angel of the University of Florida. It is also hoped that the students will accept the Mad Hatter as their own humerous publication. Its appearance will be the first of its kind at .Stetson, there having never been a humerous magazine printed here befor°. The editor of the Stetson )611egiate has promised his assist- mce in the matter, and also has the Feditor of Chatter so it is trusted that the magazine will be success from the start. The editor asks that if any • student has a good picture, a good joke or funny tale, they bring it and give it to the editor of this publication. The Mad Hatter' will appear on the fifteenth of January. Copies will be sold at two bits per gaze, and so if your eyes are weak or strained, you had better get the doctor to fix 'em up, as the first issue will be a hum dinger. And those who are talented, so requests the editor of The Mad Hatter, don't fail to show up and get in on this bit of art to be. Show your ability; this is going to be great fun when it gets to print. r -0- Somehow the homeopathic system of medicine doesn't appear to work very well in Oklahoma politics. —Ta- coma Ledger.

Gale Huntington and Miss Elizabeth Brown are to be especially commended for the excellent manner in which they have progressed upon the 'cello and the viola respectively, both having taken up these instruments this term. During the ensuing week, several prospective members will enter. the organization. Miss Dorothy Douglass, on second violin, Master Gald- well, who though but eleven years of age, is becoming a real artist on the Flute, Miss Armstrong, on second clarinet and Mr. John Pixley on the horn, are on the list. In order to render suitable mu- ic for the various college functions which cal for programs, the "lineup" is being varied by substitution of several real "jazz" features and. music which will meet to the fullest, the expectations of all, will be on the docket. Mr." Faulkner asks even greater cooperation on the part of the student body in this work, believing it to be within the scope of possibility that Stetson's orchestra should, by the close of this year's work, be given place as the foremost musical organization of the state. Adhere are, it seems, many upon the campus, who are capable of taking part in the formation of this greater orchestra, and it is with the best interests of Stetson at heart that these students are invited to fall in line. 0 PHI KAP NOTES floor well showed his ability and accuracy. We are glad that he could not penetrate our defense for had he done so, the score might have been different. Coach'Allen started the game with his first string men and let them remain until a comfortable score was made, then he ran in the scrubs the last eight minutes, of play in the first half. The varsity were able to score easily, but the scrubs were able only to hold the visitors. Those present declared that Culp and Covington were the prettiest pair of forwards that have worked together on the local court in several seasons. These two boys are fast and and reliable; both are able to shoot and pass with the accuracy of the best. We found out very soon this year, that Covy could play football, ; now we have found that he can play basketball equally as well. If the boy plays baseball, I guess he takes the cake of the athletics of the year. Just now basketball is the thing, and Covey plays the game. shot, an eyci Ossi'J practi 1EEZE HEARTBREAKER ken we say play, we mean just ply started the game at cen- 'again had the honor of shoot- first basket of the season, [nember that he shot the first in the first scrimmage, also.

Brakmann, at forward, was always in the scrimmage. This boy sticks right with the ball and in time should make a second Ray. They came from the "same school sq already they have something in common. Runyan showed his old time form, but was slowed up because of the bad knee that he got during the past football season. M. Stone showed that he too, could play basketball and more should be heard from this lad as the season goes on. The girls' game was said by many to be the fastest game ever witnessed on the local court. We must say that COLLEGIATE BOX GETS A HOLIDAY Lend an ear and you will hear a tale that is the saddest of the sad. Saturday morning when the editor made his usual trip to the old box that rests gently on the radiator in Science Hall he found, to his great disappointment, that the usual news had either leaked out of the box or that there was so much news that it couldn't be all stuffed into the box at the same time, and thinking that the thoughtful writers had kindly and unselfishly decided not to crowd the poor box he was consoled.

The Bowen bunch got **M***^fer***********^ Saturday evening, after the basketball game a dance was held at the Phi Kap House. The. affair was a huge success. Joyce Bo wen's team from Kissimmee, attended the dance in a body.' Six fellows from the University of Florida were present. The Daytona team and several girls from Seabreeze also were there. The rest of the crowd was composed ef "Phi Kaps" and town girls. The Phi Kap five-piece archestra fur- chestra furnished the music for the occasion. The dance lasted from ten till twelve and was enjoyed by all those present. Six men from the University of Florida were guests at the Phi Kap house over the weekend. They at-j tended the reception and the dance Saturday night. They returned to Gainesville Sunday morning. They we/re: Messrs. Stanley, Wesson, Burbridge, Crenshaw, Gordon. Bob Morgan of the class of '20, Ed Beebe and Brass, were in town for the reception. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *> * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dedication cut failed to arrive in time \ Merry * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TO ALL mas &***********************§**************** THE COLLEGE OF LAW Stetson has the oldest law school in the State of Florida and the fact that so many of the graduates have taken high rank is convincing evidence of the effective work done here when the course was completed in two yearsfl It always has been the aim of this school to teach the fundamental principles of law, both substantive and adjective law, and then to aid the student in every way possible in the time alloted to the course to learn to apply those principles in practice. For that purpose a considerable part of the time has been devoted to the practice court and the moot court. Beginning with this year, the course comes three years, giving time for extending and improving lard $7,00' books brary 5000 the co pi'se in many particulars, as by adding" new subjects and in some instance s giving more time to some of the fundamental subjects that always ! have been taught in modern law sc hools.

The editor has had many a heart to heart talk with it, the box, and consequently the above statements are absolutely true and above reproach. But seriously, those few of the staff that are held directly responsible cannot possibly get the college news from every part of the University and publish it. One person can't see and hear everything that goes on and so naturally assistance is needed if the Collegiate is to be a real college paper and be. of interest to everyone in the University. Last week all the "dope" 'that was turned into the editor could not be used despite the fact that the paper was a six page edition in place of the usual four pages. Every bit of it will be printed in this issue and so- will help out a great deal. After this, if the news that is turned in is more than the paper can accommodate, then we will put out a paper that will hold it all. The main object of the paper at this time is that Stefcxm JJ&tecrzity jw^haye the best college publicaion in the state bar- drew close this lead was cut down by some wonderful playing on Captain Jennings' part. The inability of the Stetson gh'ls to shoot fouls was the cause of their downfall in the writer's opinion. Miss E. Kritz and Miss Floyd of Kissimmee, gave a rare ex- hiition of guarding. The wonderful work of these two guards alone kept the Hatterettes from winning. Miss Mosely, at forward, was responsible for many of the long shots made by Swede's team.

Let ydur alumni, your fraternity men and women know what you and the old fraternity which they love is doing.
