NOTICE TO ALL FOOTBALL ENTHUSIASTS By the time this paper has gone to press, all students should have secured their activity tickets from the Bursar. A special gate will be used by the students for entrance into the stadium and it will be necessary for-each student to have his activity ticket for admission. It has been advised that all students' understand that Stetson's football game will be played in the De- Land municipal stadium and not at;Hully field where the1 squad is . holding! ■ practice ■ sessions. Although no uniforms are to be had, the Stetson University Band will be on hand to provide plenty of music from the grandstand. Coach Brady Cowell has requested that all Stetson followers, beginning Friday night, sit on~the West side of the stadium, rather than the East. The reason for this move is that Stetson's homecoming is to be played in the afternoon. This arrangement will relieve the West side spectators from the afternoon sun. Let's get in the habit now—the West side for. Stetson students and.the band. Director of "Doc" Johnson, complete revision of all intramural schedules because of the addition of two teams thus giving more men a chance to participate. Team managers will be furnished revised schedules immediately and a complete list of changes will appear in next week's Reporter. The two new teams admitted are: Kenny Beeman's Independents and Marshall Lane's Stray Greeks. HATTER MENTORS HATTER GRIDMEN INTENSIFY DRILL AS OPENING GAME NEARS By DAN DANNALS The 1946 version of the Hatter, varsity, grid eleven is gradually working into shape as coach Cowell ran their charges through intensified scrimmages every day last week. The recent arrival of football helmets and shoes has made this possible, so that a varsity squad of thirty- nine men is now fully equipped. Now STETSON'S NIGHT CLASS The first night class of the fall quarter was organized last Thursday by Dr. R. C. Clarke with an enrollment of ten-students, according, to an" announcement from the Office of the Dean. The subject of the course will be Educational Administration and classes are' to- be held each Thursday night. Curtain Rises For "Arsenic And Old Lace" October 17 'With one week of rehearsals remaining, "Arsenic and Old Lace" gradually moves toward its finished form. The set has assumed that Brewster look. It is indeed a fine ■old Brooklyn home. As you gaze at it, you "suddenly realize that it is just as Grandfather Brewster. left it, except for the electric lights that Mortimer insisted on having installed. As the play unfolds you will be introduced to the entire Brewster family, four of their policeman friends, their minister - and his daughter, Elaine, Jonathan's personal face-lifter, Dr. Einstein, and two lonely old-men, Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Witherspoon.

Veterans Jam Colleges With war veterans jamming classrooms in quest of higher education, many American girls never, will get j to college, according to an article in the current (Aug. 3) Saturday Evening: Post. "Mariy state institutions axe refusing ■ admission to' out-of-state women, and it seems inevitable that these schools will clamp down further," writes Milton MacKaye in an, article "Crisis at the Colleges." "Speaking off the records and regretfully, a number of educators predict such a tightening of the situation that many American girls presently of college age will never be allowed" to matriculate," the article continues. With almost 400,000 veterans attending colleges or universities' at the close of the school year and more than 1,000,000 more expected to -seek admission by ' September, the American educational system is "in the middle of the gravest crisis in its history," the article reports. Colleges do not have the facilities, the housing, the instructors, even the classrooms, to handle the multitude. ' The housing shortage particularly affects feminine students, it is pointed out, . because " 'supervised' housing of college girls is an American -tradition, while men—and: this is traditional also—can be quartern any place where walls keep out trie weatjhery""—PNBt TEXT BOOKS SCARCE AS HEN'S TEETH. MAYBE WE GET THEM; MAtBE NOT This story might well be datelined "somewhere in the United States" for that is precisely where the textbooks are that, prior to the current emergency, filled the Stetson bookstore shelves.. After a very interesting talk with Mr. A. B. Townley, manager of the local bookstore at Stetson, your reporter found that many reasons that many reasons have delayed the arrival of the badly needed texts. '. ''Somewhere" between Richmond, Virginia and the town of DeLand, will be found the Freshman English books which have'long been on order. Other books, all "as scarce as hen's teeth", are being held up by strikes, lack of material and the cost and. demand. Recent strikes of printers and lithographers have tied up a great many books while the lack lof sufficient print and paper is another factor in their witholdal of the badly needed texts. - Prime reason is' the fact that, this year more than ever before, colleges and universities throughout these United States have far greater enrollments than ever before. College and University enrollments have been swelled by the vast discharge program put forth by the Army, Navy and marine Corps and the benefits that thousands of educationally- minded ex-G.I.s have sought. Both teachers and publishers have made every effort to put over. a course without full usage of books. In one certain English class on the campud, lacking sufficient books, the Stetson University Bulletin is being subjected to a thorough going over as the ""improvised text." Publishers have issued urgent appeals to all who have extra books on hand to relinquish them to those who might use them. » The Stetson bookstore, with orders months behind in being filled, has done everything in its power to help the students obtain books; they have advertised offering to buy, and resell old used books- and many other helpful" things. But, as it stands now, the situation is the same all over the country and the actual dates of delivery are an unknown thing. Music School Opens With 100 Students The School of Music opened this quarter with a record enrollment of nearly 100 new students. -Two new instructors have been added to its cadre: Miss Ruth M. Richardson, who is teaching voice and Miss Eleanor Leek, who is beaching theory and cello. Both will be heard in recitals in the near future. A definite schedule for student, faculty and artists recitals will be arranged soon. . Six new pianos have been purchased which will be used b£ the students who are anxious to practice, but who, so far, have been unable to do so because of crowded conditions. The new pianos will be used in the five new practice rooms which have been built in the band hall and in the new rooms in De- Land Hall. that the Hatter mentors have the uniform shortage off their minds, they are working on the perfection of plays which includes plenty' of blocking, tackling, passing, running, and punting. The" thirty-nine man squad is three and four deep in nearly every position, and judging by scrimmages of last week, coach Cowell has two working combinations pretty well trained, but even so there are still a lot of kinks- to be ironed out. Although practices have been slowed down because of minor injuries to some of the men, no major casualties have plagued the squad since full scale scrimmage began. Like many of the current college elevens, the Hatters are-composed of a goodly number of war veterans, and a great deal of competitive college spirit has been exemplified so far. Several men seem to stand out in their respective positions'. Two guards, fast and hard-working are Guy Garrett from Winter Haven and Menendez, a 200 pounder, who can really hit hard, have showed up well in scrimmages thus far. A 275 pound tackle, Lorenz from Kis- simmee should lend plenty of weight to the line. Conrad also looks good at the tackle position. - Seven men are competing for the end positions, but up until now only Perry, a 195 pounder, looks certain of his job. Joe Jacobs has been doing "a lot of the first string quarterbacking, but Wilson arid Ewing are close behind him. Coach Cowell has two very fast wing backs in Lloyd Clifton of De- ' Land and Brazelton, both of whom can skirt around those ends like nobody's business. At tailback Douglas Teal has shown a great deal of versatility with his running and passing. He is also good at placements. Neissler and Winger are two more tailbacks which look impressive in their positions. Both Johnny Angel who is no slouch at punting and Carlton fill the fullback's shoes quite well. Angel has exhibited some fine defensive play. At the anchor spot centers Perrin and Funderburk are fighting it out. The Hatter coaching staff hasn't had sufficient time to decide who is likely to appear in the starting lineup for the opener Friday night, so your reporter certainly isn't qualified to predict any such thing. Coach Cowell is interested in having every- body know that the boys are working plenty hard for their positions and showing great team play. The only former letterman on this year's squad is Charlie Wilson (1940) playing at quarter, and two others. End Gordon Parker and Quarterback Joe Jacobs played with the team but did not make letters. ■<- Now let's take a loo,k/at the squad as they appear in their respective positions (each man's weight is shown in parenthesis after his name.) Ends: Ferry (195), Davis (180), Thurman (185), Parker (170), Forbes (Continued on page 4) Student Body Holds First Meeting of Fall Term Oct 4 By Russell Hornsby Amid shouts and hurrays the student body of Stetson University held the first meeting of the fall term, Friday October 4. The meeting was called to order by the new inaugurated president, Bob Henry. The Stetsonaires were on hand to furnish the students with something old and something new in the line of music. Bills that appeared and passed before the student body were: The student funds were to be transferred from the Bursar's Office to a down town bank of DeLand. The treasurer reported at the opening of the meeting that the student body fund was a total amount of $1,000.- 75; a bill was also paid to appropriate money to buy letters for cheerleaders. Charles demons raised a- discussion as. to the procedure used in electing school committees!. This discussion was -settled by an overwhelming vote by the student body in favor of keeping temporary committees in office until class officers were elected for the school year. After that the beauties of Stetson went on parade with Rinky Brice, June Hood, Maureen Peterson, Phyllis Thompson, and Jerry Knight, in competition for the title of queen of the Orange Bowl. Rinky Brice was chosen to be Stetson's. campus queen.
