One method - would be pay-in-advance for the entire TV) T R S TJ LlBrarV quarter and receive an identification J would be strict cash basis that would require each student to have the cash price of the meal each time he took a. riieal in the Commons.

As soon as these books are cataloged and filed, they will be available Duncan To Head Church History At Mercer Univ. Dr. Pope A. Duncan, associate professor of religion, has been appointed Head of the Department of Church History at Mercer University in Ma-- con, Georgia. Dr. Duncan came to Stetson in the fall of 1946 after serving one year as Director of Religious Activities at Mercer. - He will assume the Chair of Church History in Roberts School of Christianity, an endowed school of Mercer, in June and will begin teaching during the summer quarter. As church history is the major field of the . youthful professor, he is particularly pleased .with the position at Mercer because the library there contains the library of Dr. A. H. Newman, who was the most eminent church historian that American Baptists have had. Dr. Newman, who once taught at Mercer, willed his library to the university upon his death. Dr. Duncan received hsi BS degree from the University of Georgia in 1940 with,a major in physics. He remained at Georgia for one year with a teaching fellowship in physics, and received his MS in 1941. Following his graduate work there he entered Southern. Baptist Theolical Seminary where he received his Th. M. in 1944, and Th. D. in 1947. "I did not have enough money to continue in "the seminary after my first year," remarked Dr. Duncan, "but I was offered the job'of tutor to a young man who was majoring in pre-med, and could not seem to pass" his work in physics. This enabled me to continue until I was called to a small church which helped me finish my work." He went to Mercer as student secretary planning <to teach part-time, but discovered after arriving there that student secretaries were not allowed to teach while serving in that capacity. "I thought and prayed a long time before deciding to leave Stetson," concluded Dr. Duncan, "because I sincerely like teaching 'here. However, I am very much interested in continuing my work in church history, and I feel that this position offers me a challenging opportunity to study in my major field." Dr. and Mrs. Duncan will Jive in faculty aparmtents on the campus of the University. Swing, Waltz and Gay Ninety tempos were included in the varied, program ofthe Pop Concert presented by the Stetson Symphony Orchestra, under-the direction of Frances Buxton, in Elizabeth Hall Auditorium, May 11th. _ Opening the evening's entertainment, the entire orchestra sang a "Welcome" to the tune of "Turkey in the Straw" to a capacity audience.

"I Can't Say No", all played in the stimulating style characteristic of the well-known Broadway production. Stetson's popular baritone, Bill Jones, was featured as soloist in the next selection "You and The Night and The Music". The "Emperor Waltzes (Johann Strauss), with the orchestra's interpretation of a light, pianissimo ap~. proach, followed with the gay tempo of the melody and, ending with a forceful crescendo, was the first presentation of the second group. In direct contrast, a selection from- "Pictures From An Exposition" (Mous- sorgsky), with the unusual title of "Ballet ot the Chicks in their Shells" was presented next, featuring the flutes and oboes. "A Fugato on A Well-known Theme" (McBride), based, on the melody played in a recent contest held by a radio program, which was awarding $18,000 to anyone who could give its title, was the third in the second series of arrangements. The concluding number in this section was the lively Polka from "Sohwanda" by Weinberger. Three novelty arrangements made up the next group of compositions, including "Mosquito Dance" (Paul White) featuring a realistic touch attained by the use of sandpaper; the ■weird "Tribal Dance" (from "News- reel") by William Schuman, and "Frantic Fantasy for Four Violins" (Paul-Nero), presented by Donna Fair Dorothy Flory,, Roger DiGuillian, and William Stark.

By BILL TOWNE The life of -Mr. Milton David (Micky) Magenheim, M.A., Instructor in History at Stetson University, would make an excellent character story for one of Horatio Alger's success books that were popular in the country in • the 1920's. Mr. Magenheim was born in the Bronx, New York, and grew up in the environment of the "big city." Here he attended public schools, and the "high school that he went to had an enrollment of over 10,000 pupils. In his class there were over 900 graduates. In high school, Mr. Magenheim was active in the band in which he played 'a cornet, in spite" of the fact that he had to do outside work, too. When he graduated from high school, he went to work for a mail order house which was in the button business. It was one of the .largest button establishments in the country. Mr. Magenheim says, "The company was valued at $5,000,000, and that ain't buttons." He worked with the buttons for two years and was- then able to get a work scholarship from Stetson University in 1936. In order to finance his way through college, he had to work in the university grill and also sold pennants at football and baseball games. During his college life he made on an average about 10,000 hamburgers which he sold to hungry students during each year. By the (Continued on Page 4) Professor Magenheim with "Chum". NOTICE!
