This was the first organization to announce its membership 100 per cent after the paper was distributed last week. This announcement was followed closely by one from Tri Delta; Alpha Xi Delta, and Pi Beta Phi. Charles T. Henderson, circulation manager, is well pleased with the way the organizations on the campus are backing the paper by their subscriptions. Several organizations have intimated they will have 100 per cent memberships next week. Effort is now being centered around having every organization on the 100 per cent list in the next few weeks. It is thought with the student body 100 per cent the alumni can be approached with more vigor.

"Rat^Workout Before Contest Yearlings Did Not Go to Lakeland Unprepared (By C. A. CRAWFORD) On Thursday the Rat team went through a stiff work-out in preparation for the game with the crack Lakeland High outfit. McQuillan put his yearlings through a short but snappy drill on signals and some of the fundamentals that needed just a little brushing up. These boys look like a fighting bunch. Tribble at center is bound to be a main stay on the line with the assistance of Cannon, Freeman, arid MartiL a creditable line '" assured Stetson dramatists triumphed again in their production "One of the Eight" before a good crowd at Elizabeth hall last night. The absence of many who were attending the games in Lakeland and Tampa probably decreased »the attendance. The actors kept the audiencetin an uproar every minute of the three hours during the playing time. Nearly all of the members of the cast were peculiarly fitted to take the paVts which they. played. "Bab" played by Miss Marie Anderson vied with Ed Stone as "Lord Chillingworth" and Robert M. Collins as "Peter," a valet, as the chief causes of laughter during the evening while the two Edmunds boys, the Henderson brothers, and Miss Isabelle Tate played about even in the emotional parts. Edward Henderson was "Mr. Brooks," a stingy old farmer who would not let his son go to college. In hi attire with a red beard and red hair, he played his part well, seemingly acting just, as a father would under the circumstances. Jake and Ollie Edmunds played pa^ts of Bill Carter and Henry Brpok^ respectively. These two brothers wV.ro usu- nnwiaite ifh.X'1' "' in / 'Yin -' situations as tiiey 'are-*o£p3n cpujad on' the Stetson campus; a true and close' friendship ran between them, each helping the other out of his difficulties. Charlie Henderson took the part of "Mir. Dixon," college professor and chairman of the athletic committee of Bookworth college. He filled this part well, giving a -true interpretation of the lines in the play. Isabelle Tate as "Helen Baldwin" took the lead as heroine, around whose love for Henry Brooks and a little flirtation one day with "Weston," played by Tom Lally, the entire plot was centered. Her expressions and looks were very impressive. Every few minutes there would be a scene in which either Bab, Peter, or Lord Chillingworth took some part and these almost always took the house, causing outbursts of applause and laughter. Lord Chillingworth was an English lord who cai^e to America to find an English wife, finally getting Amy Dixon, daughter of the professor at Bookworth. Peter was Lord Chillingworth's valet and Bab was the foundling daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Brooks. The valet and Bab fell in love, and Peter planned to take his bride back to England with him. Lillian Trice took the part of "Mother Brooks" and carried her pari very well. Her natural demonstra- j tions and actions swayed the emotions of the house. The villain in the play, "Dr. Marks," played by Professor Lewis H. Tribble, was typical of the character represented. He made shudders run through the audience numbers or times by his wierd actions' and his underhanded conspiracies. Malcolm Dykes played "Ned Andrews," a disappointed member of the college rowing crew who had been (Continued on Page Five) 100 PERCENT .Note—This column will run each week until every dormitory on the campus is 100 per cent in subscriptions for the Stefson Collegiate. The subscription manager, Charles Henderson, wishes to have every fraternity, sorority, dormitory, and organization in the 100 per cent column by Thanksgiving. Members of the University B. Y. P. U. took a hike and had a marsh- mallow toast land weiner roast at Lake Lendly Saturday afternoon. The party left Chaudion at 3:30 and took a path through the woods to the road a little ways north then followed this out to the edge' of the lake. There Frances Mahoney and Garnet Reddish acted as captains of two teams and a game of baseball was played with a tennis ball. Miss Mahoney's team won by 12-9. Many spectacular plays were witnessed. Just before dark the crowd gathered .around a fire and sang songs and ate. Immediately after eating, stories were told as the group rested and waited for the time to return. Coming back the party sang; nearly all of the way. Those that enjoyed this outing were: Mamie Lou Gross, Elizabeth Garrison, Susie Thompson, Garnet Reddish, Phillip Cummings, Gladys Gardner, Matred Carlton, Mary Lois Wright, Iris Brit't, Luclle Burl, Reba Swift, Berniee Thompson, Adelia Keen,. Ruth Buckles Annie Chaudion, •J. W.

Farris, held a luncheon and business meeting at the Little Red House back of the Phi Kappa Delta fraternity house Wednesday night at which A. W. Bates was host. This is the first social gathering of the staff for the year, and it proved to be very effective and helpful for those working on the paper. Plans are to continue these meetings weekly and give an opportunity for the members to iron out our difficulties and have a general get-to-gether. In opening, Mr. Bates told of the purpose of the meeting and explaining that each , person on the staff would be expected to. give a short talk on the character of his work, outlining his plan for the year in regard to the Collegiate. The speakers included Charles Henderson, William S. Collier, Donald Faulkner and Hewen Lasseter. Dr. Farris and Dr. Hulley gave short talks of encouragement and advice. Just before the group adjourned, Dr. Hulley invited all present to have lunch at his home the following week, and the invitation was enthusiastically accepted. Following is the list of those present: Mr. and Mrs. Hulley, Dr. and Mrs. Farriss, Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Bates, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Collier, Miss Mirriam. Munn, Miss Virginia De Coursey, Miss Thelma Brown, Miss Julia Johnson, Charles Henderson, Tom Lally, Donald Faulkner and Hewen Lasseter. o SLEDGE TATUM This popular fellow was elected captain of the Stetson baseball team at a meeting of the letter men last week. .Much is expected from ths baseball squad this year under ifflrs captaincy, with Coach McQ; fan in charg ■ i-teain i h a Seniors at Stetson university will start wearing derby's and carrying canes next week, according to a decision of the class in a meeting held recently. It will be a comic sight to see the upper classmen walking over the campus with these articles of wearing apparel, it is generally considered. At this meeting it was also decided to have a picnic Thursday for all seniors. The party will go to DeLeon Springs, leaving school at 4 p. m..' There was a discussion of the rings for the senior class, but no action was taken relative to the buying of these. This will probably be done at a session to be ' held in the near future. Caps, gowns, and hoods for the members of the graduating class are now being ordered. Charles Hem. derson, circulation manager of the Stetson Collegiate, is in charge of this work. lu ii iMPi lv\ A 2 * I* % Is First City to Fall in Line With Editoi/ial Policy gf Pape, inurs*u,y at 12:45 member^ ol" the Georgia Visitors Will he the First on Field this Year McQuillan Charges Will Practice Hard This Week in Preparation for Opening Contest on Green and White Soil this Season * School Orchestra Makes Appearance at Opening Play Donald Faulkner Leads Organization Friday Night Stetson Relative Receives Fortune FACULTY DELAND HALL SIGMA NU FRATERNITY PI KAPPA PHI FRAT DELTA DELTED DELTA ALPHA XI PHI KAPPA DELTA PI RPTA' PHI University Founder Gives Grandson $375,000 Information obtained from an article printed in the Florida Times- Union states John B.

OF GREAT DRIVE Recognition Service For Both Old and New Members During the week of October 12, the annual Young Women's Christian Association drive [of membership was in full swing, reaching its culmination Thursday evening in the recognition service. This ceremony is one of the prettiest and .most impressive of the organization. The members, new and old, dressed in white, assembled in the Chaudoin parlors, which were lighted only by candles. After a sing and Scripture reading, the girls, each carrying a small.unlit candle, came forward and, one by one, lit them at the great candle held by Miss Charlotte Farrington, the president. The ceremony was symbolic of the Y. W. C. A. receiving the light and life from the Sourccof all light and life. After he reading of a sort of litany, the meeting closed by singing "Follow the Gleam" and repeating the Y. W. C. A.' benediction. The meeting this week will be the second in an intermittent series on the application of the Ten Commandments to the modern daily life. Students Observe apan Conditions Fifteen Travel in Orient for Vacations Fifteen students from colleges on the Western Coast visited Japan during the past summer in order to gather information to lay before the Western America Student Convention which will be held at Asilomar on Monterey Bay, California, from Dec. 27 to Jan. 3. Among other questions to be discussed by the five or six hundred students who will be present is the West Coast Inter-racial Problem; these students were sent across the Pacific in order that the consideration of this question might ihe based onflthe [acts of the case. Stetson's orchestra made its first public appearance at the play, "One of the Eight," Friday night in Elizabeth Hall. Under the direction of Donald Faulkner, Jt made aT very creditable showing, entertaining the audience between acts and before the raising of the curtain. Following is a list of the numbers played: Night Song, Vogt; Longing for Home, Jungmann; Heather Rose, Lange; Scherzo, David; Menuett, Boc- cherini; Ox Minuet, Hayden; Confidence, Schulhoff; Cavatine, Cchmidt;' Quel Suono, Mozart; Landler, Bohm; iSerenadq, Haydep; and Deb non Vol s=|\Stetson't student body from ^ Miami will meeit in room five, Elizabeth hall for the organization of a club for the pi.^-pose of keeping" ;up the friendship of those from the town and also for the purpose of making plans. for getting more persons from Miami at Stetson in future years. This is the first town to make plans for the Organization, ^in accordance with the suggestion of the Collegiate in an editorial a few weeks ago, which is backed with another one in this issue. It is generally thought that the organization of city or county clubs will do a lot toward making Stetson a larger school next year. Go to it Miiamians, The Collegiate is behind you. It only is looking for the chance to back other town representatives in the same movement. o Popular Boy Causes Precedent to Be Broken by Classmates ENIOR CLASSES Organization Is Completed for First Time in History "The old order changeth, yielding place to new." Heretofore the law and college classes have been separate and distinct bodies, the only point of contact during the entire course being the publication of- the annual by the combined junior classes. But last week the senior college class invited the senior law class to cooperate with it in the matter of the details of this, the last year on the Stetson campus. The first meeting for this promotion of harmony was held Oct. 16. The main thing discussed was the senior picnic which it was finally decided should be held at DeLon Springs Thursday. The subject of the senior ring was discussed, and specimens of last year's rings were passed around for examination. Member of the law class were appointed to the commit- tes on the picnic, senior rings, the class play, and commencement invitations. The subject «of a unified class organization is on the table for discussion and plans. The two classes are now one in interest, hopes, and spirit. This is thought to be indicative of the greatest senior class of the "Bigger and Better Stetson/' Precedent was broken by members of the sophomore class at Stetson university this week when they re-elected to the presidency of the organization, Edward Henderson, who was so popular at the head of the freshman class last year. Mr. Henderson is probably one of the best-liked men on the campus. Bob Carpenter will be his able assistant as the vice president of the organization. Mr. Carpenter is a non- fraternity man who has not been conspicuous on the campus as yet. It is thought he will be one of the most efficient officers this year. Jewell Edmunds was elected secretary of the body while Mardelle Dykes will be the treasurer. Miss Edmunds is especially active on tho campus in religious work, taking the lead in the Ministerial and Missionary- Society and the Baptist Young People's work here. Miss Dykes is one of the assistnat cheer leaders. ' .No plans for the activity of the class were announced at the close ot the meeting. Mr. Henderson will probably have a meeting of the executive committee in the near future to make plans for activities for the year. (By C A. CRAWFORD) With a victory over the strong Air Station team io their credit, our fighting "Orange Blossoms" will meet the Piedmont pig-skin hounds, this Saturday on the home lot. Piedmont comes down with a large squad that is supposed to be light and fast. Dope from Atlanta is to the effect that their present team is much more of a finished product than last season, and assures US that the Georgia lads will give real battle. Mac's squad Is in very good condition, except for a few injuries thai have been bothering names and Gunby. Moore, who was injured in the Lakeland tussel last Friday is expected to be able to show what he can do to an opposing line. It is expected that the line up will differ very litTle from the usual one. The probable, line lip for the Georj giana wij.1 b.e Martinet full, who tiffe TkeaVv.:U.

A number of siibs are being brought by piedmont. These with the regulars will bring the squad up to a total of 18 players. The Piedmont team play:; Rollins at that school this Wednesday, and the result will, to a large extent, determine the strength or the Crackers in our estimation, as little Is known about this outfit. ATHLETIC CLUB Organization Will Have Charge of All Kinds of Sports "You had better engage these rooms for next year, madam," said the clerk. "But I may not be alive next year." "In that case, you have only to let us know a few weeks ahead."—Bates Student. Marie Anderson was elected president of the Girls Athletic association at a meeting of the Student Union Monday. This was the first meeting of the year for the athletic association. Mardelle Dykes was elected vice-president. This organization sponsors all ath- letie activities among the girls of Stetson University. Last year there. was a swimming organization, a tennis team, a hiking club, and similar other organizations. The girls of Chaudoin enjoyed several moonlight hikes under the auspices of the hiking club. "Rally Day" Is Planned for Friday—Everybody is Expected "Rally Day" is Friday. The time is 12:45 noon. The place is Elizabeth hall. The purpose is to get prepared for the Piedmont game. The result is good cheering. The leader is Ed Stone. The' reason is for school spirit. This is the summary of a call issued for a grand rally for; Friday in Elizabeth Hall. The entire student body will be present. "Rats" in particular are warned to know the cheers and yells as a strenuous practice will be held in preparation for the big day, Saturday, when Stetson university plays the first game on the home field against the Piedmont college squad. The leader also intimated that he will have new plans to announce at this meeting which every person on the campus must knowo
