According to reports released from proper sources, 650 were enrolled in summer school, a large portion of which were from neighboring colleges, visiting at Stetson for the summer. Another large portion of the summer students were Stetson graduates and other teachers who were returning for post-graduate work. -This figure tops all previous enrollments for Stetson's summer school. Campus Canteen A Reality-Opens In Near future "It won't be long now". That is absolutely true when referring ^to the campus canteen ^promised ' to the students at Stetson University for the past- year. This dream of Stetson students will be a reality when the canteen is opened within the next month. The building is located on Minnesota Avenue east of DeLand Hall, built of sandstane blocks and 32 by 71 feet in area. The largest room in the canteen will be the grille which will be 30 by 60 feet in size; it will contain the campus post office and an up-to- date soda fountain. A terrace on the east side of the building will accommodate students who wish to pause and t chat while enjoying soft drinks and sandwiches. The building will also contain a modern, all electric kitchen, a storeroom for supplies, and two restrooms. All the interior walls will be painted white and the-floor will be of terrazzo blocks in a marble effect of brown and white. Each room will have fluorescent lighting. WILLIAM HILL, 21, OF MANNING DIES IN WRECK William Hill, 21 year old son of a former Manning, S. C. mayor was killed at 11 o'clock p. m. Sept. 10, as the car he was driving crashed jiito- ai-_oiiicr--(ielricle--.soufch- of- Sumter, S. c. Miss Elizabeth Boykin, daughter of Mrs. Bessie H. Boykin of Sumter, who was riding with Hill, received only slight injuries in the accident. The Manning youth was going south on Highway 15 toward Cum- erton state higway officials said, and ran into a car travelling in the same direction driven by Sidney B. Kolb of Sumter. Kolb slowed down to make a left turn into a filling station some 6 or 7 miles south of Sumter, and the Manning youth apparently didn't see Kolb's hand signal and attempted to pass as Kolb drove into the station. Hill's vehicle struck that driven by Kolb and it turned over several times. He was unconscious when taken from under the wreckage and died enroute to the hospital in Manning. Miss Boykin said that she saw Kolb give his hand signal for the left turn, state highway patrolmen reported. Kolb was uninjured. He had served as assistant golf professional at Lake Placid, N. Y., this past summer, and was to return to Stetson where he was to enter the sophomore class. He was a graduate of Carlisle Military school in Bamberg. Hill was vice-president of the Delta Sigma Phi ■ social fraternity at Stetson university and outstanding in athletics. The funeral was held at 5:00 p. m. Sept. 13th in Manning, S. C. Active pallbearers were eight boys with whom he graduated from high school. Acting as honorary ^pallbearers were five Stetson students and fraternity brothers: Bob Henry, Jeff Clark, Julian Clark, George Dan- nals and Don Tatum.
