CAMPUS SOON ED FOR ole mm WIHTER By DEE HOLLY Few of-us have not wondered about the history of certain things—traditions, events, sayings, .buildings—and history cian be interesting, particularly if it concerns something close at hand. Back in 1893, ten years after the construction of DeLand Hall (known to most of the present generation as the Music School Building), and the year that Chaudoin Hall was first built, the Academy put into operation a heating system to supply the buildings on campus. This system was originally located between DeLand Hall and Stetson Hall. - In 1902, when Mr. Sampson contributed the money for the erection of the Science Hall, the plant was moved to the rear of that building and has since been there. Few may realize how vital is the question of heating the buildings of a large institution. An interview with some of the fellows who lived at the B.O.Q. last year, when hot plates and heating pads were often the only forms of heat, would illustrate necessity of an efficient plant. Stetson is assured of such a plant this year. The boiler room of the central heating plant, which supplies all the buildings in the immediate campus area, except the Commons, is getting a new roof. When this work is completed, the plant will be 'almost entirely new throughout. The fire-boxes were rebuilt last year, a job which must he done every few years, and new electric pumps have been installed. Stevens and Brittain Hall have individual heating units and a new plant is being constructed at- the base for the law shool buildings and the former, officers' quarters which are being used as dormitories for men students. AN OPEN LETTER Dear Faculty Member: The Student Body cordially invites you to join the Stetson Train for the Rollins-Stetson football game, November 1.

Arrangements have been made for transit busses to carry the "Stetson Party" to the Rollins Stadium." After the game the procedure will be reversed. Let's all, students and teachers alike, take advantage of this, leave the car at home, and all join in having a good time and show our team that we're behind them. Cordially yours THE STUDENT BODY.

Mayor To Be Elected Friday By KERRY KENT SCOTT Hear ye, hear ye! Sadie Hawkins Day approaches; November eighth is the big day. Yes, November eighth is the time when all good Stetson students come to the aid of their country. Sadie Hawkins Day, as most of you brain children should know, is in honor of Sadie Hawkins, the homliest girl ever in Dogpatch. Sadie's father declared a Sadie Hawkins day, as he thought it was the only way he could get his daughter married. The mayor of Sadie Hawkins Day will be chosen this Friday (the twenty-fourth) in the auditorium at the student body meeting. After the mayor is elected, a constitution will be written. There are events of all descriptions to be held on the momentous day of November eighth, but the main events will begin with the parade, which will be held a.t 10:30 in the morning. This will be followed by a sports contest between the freshmen and the upper classmen in the afternoon. Free meals are in order after this, to be followed by a square dance and a big show held in'-the opera house. The pie eating contest for the faculty is certainly an event looked forward to by everyone. Perhaps the most fun of all is the beard growing contest in which all' boys are urged to participate. The boy with the longest beard will win the contest.. So some on, all you shy fellows, and loosen up for a while. Your (Continued on Page 3) By RAY SWADER If you think the campus of John B.

J. M.

All organizations and clubs are cooperating to their fullest with the Camera and Art Clubs planning to hold an exhibit in the . Library, and other groups making plans for the decoration of floats, houses, and other points to make our campus attractive to our visitors. The theme for this year's celebration is "Stetson Banner Year," and out of the 2200 students that compose our Student Body the response was so poor that the task of selection fell on the shoulders of the REPORER staff. Beginning on Friday night with the presentation .of the annual Little Theatre play by the Dramatic group, the visiting Alumni will find a varied program awaiting them. Following the Little Theatre play, the Dramatic group will entertain all former members with a party. Saturday morning will bring the Student Bar breakfast, and later on in the morning the Chapel service, and following that the meeting of the Alumni Association.
