A check for $33,081 from the Charles E. Merrill Trust has been received by Stetson Universitv, President J. Ollie Edmunds announced today. This money represents Stetson's share this year in the income from a trust established by the late Charles E. Merrill, ' Stetson graduate in 1903.

Emerging from the new Women's Council regulations initiated this spring, comes an entirely new program known as the Junior Counselors. This; select group under the direction of Deans Etter Turner and Mary Edna Parker, is composed of 21 girls from the arising Junior Class.' " As a part of the Women's Council, the ; Junior . Counselors will be responsible in directing the new freshman girls to-follow the two basic "steps iri good conduct set up by the new'Council. They are considerate of "others, and common- sense. The Council' feels by giving girls this new freedom, each individual must sincerely cooperate with the Council arid her fellow students. c The aim of this ,new program is to- aid the adjustment of the freshman girl through the ideals, aspirations, .good study habits,.and influence of the-Junior Counselors. Each counselor will be responsible, for 10 or 15 girls and will live in' the same section "of the dorm as their, counselees; NEW EXPERIENCE Since group living is such a new experience for girls upon entering college, this year Dean Parker has- designated certain areas of Women's housing for just, freshman girls. The areas include1 all of Conrad Hall,.the third floor arid first floor, east wing, of Stetson Hall, and the second ■ and third floors, main and' south wings of Chaudoin Hall. , The" dutjes of these 21 girls.will -be-f-p plaatand .execute-meetings' with their counselees, attend House meetings and confer with the Dormitory director or House Pres-. ident from time to time as needed. Besides these specific duties^ the Junior Counselor will be expected to maintain her own academic average, and improve and maintain her own standards of good conduct and leadership.. Also, she is to help her counselees learn and understand social . regulations,' •'house rules, and academic regulations. Thus, she is the medium between the freshman girls and the Women's Council and Deans. COUNSELORS TRAIN These ■ Junior. Counselors have been going through a Training Program throughout this semester. Each Tuesday night the girls met together with Dean "Parker and Dean Turner to discuss the problems to be faced in the. program and some of .the ways each Junior Counselor can contribute. to the program. One* riieeting, Dr. Moore, who is the psychologist for Stetson and helps Dean Hood in the Guidance Office, spoke' to the group. He answered questions-per-' taining to hypothetical situations and . what the Junior Counselor can do to remedy or help solve it. Although the program- will be a great aid to the incoming girls, it will also make the Junior Counselors themselves realize how much it,will actually strengtheri their standards and beliefs. In addition to-this spiritual reward, the counselors will receive a rrionetary reward of full payment of their room rent for one year. 21 GIRLS The twenty-one girls who have accepted to carry the program out next year are: Nancy Barber, Martha Barineau, Gwen Cheshire, Carol Clark, Mary DeLeGal, -Diane Gentry, Susan Dellinger, Mary Dell Harden, Linda Heep,, Kattie Hench, Nancy Irish, Eileen Lipthrott, Frances,Lyle,'Suzanne Mullins, Sandra Newton, Brenda Raines, Diane Strickland, Carol Taylor, Ann Thomason?

Stetson University has approved a resolution calling for integration on Stetson's campus. On May 8'at a regular Tuesday night meeting a committee, consisting of Jim Fink and Fred Eichards, was appointed to3*" draw up the ■ resolution and present it the following Tuesday for the Association's approval. The committee, assisted by Lute Harmon, drafted the resolution which was .affirmed May 15. The resolution reads as follows: '.'■•' Believing that the preaching of the Gospel must be made rel- event to our times and 'that the Christian Church ' is ' under the judgment of God to bear testimony to its faith that all men, ■ regardless of race, stand equal at the cross, we, the" Ministerial Association of .Stetson University herein declare the following resolution. Article I: We believe that the' living Christianity can not be separated from any phase- of our political, economic and' social life, and that Christian' commitment is'born out in personal decision and action in all areas of life. Article II. We believe that the racial - crisis makes it imperative that both ministers and layman alike critically reexamine and judge their present positions in light of the Gospel ,:,ol,Jesus...CbrisfW- r-'rY.-, . .. Article -III: We believe that .the Christian Church is at the crossroads of fulfilling its task " of either bearing ' witness to . the Truth in Jesus Christ or of choosing the world to preserve its own status quo, and ■ that it is the duty of those who truly love the Church to call it back to the prophetic realization that- it is the Living Body of Christ. Article IV: We believe that the Christian Church is a community of faith and love and membership is based on one's faith in Christ and not the ' color of a person's skin. Furthermore, we . believe that all Christian institutions should open their doors to' all qualified Negroes. Article V: Having affirmed ... ^Article IV and as students of Stetson University, we believe that Stetson University", being a Christian institution, is also obligated to open its doors to . all qualified students regard- ' less of race. SWEET IS PRESIDENT toward Sweet, president of the. Stetson'Ministerial Association had this to" say: "All -of us realize, I believe, that this resolution alone is no solution to the problem. The complexity of the race issue will not be solved merely by declarations such as these. The real and final solution lies in the area of human relationships and' this is where the- Christian can with confidence take- his stand. Here the answer is " clear, one, must love his neighbor as he loves himself. Here .all of us can and must act. I would like to emphasize the fact that this is a statement of our organization,- not of the university. When asked about the possible reactions, both pro and con, to the public stand taken by the association, Jim Fink answered: The Christian is not called to echo the opinions .of either the organized church "or mass opinion. He is under conviction before God to declare the Gospel as it has been revealed to him in Christ. This is all we are attempting to do, and we have done it in, the spirit of prayer, and ivith .the hope that those in places of responsibility and influence might do the-same. MINISTERS HAVE DILEMMA The dilemma of many ministers is seen in the words of one ministerial student, who is a licensed minister in the Southern Baptist Convention: "Being ministers, many look to us to pronounce the final .word regarding- such issues as the race question,' or -they, at least, expect us to affinri. their, own position. Called to preach the' Love of God and declare His Word, we are sometimes placed in the awkward position of choosing either to become the victim of the economic and social forces which have blinded the church in regards to its task and responsibility, or'of being labeled reactionary and placing your family in the predicament of not knowing "whence cometh the next meal," Committee Chairman Fred Richards added. - L.jS.CUSS.-" . ush.. Rules. Fall- Rush Rules were the main topic at the annual Spring Panhellenic Workshop Dinner which was held Tuesday night. Judy- Wood, who'was in charge of revising the Fall Rush Rules'- led a discussion before the Sorority Women to inform "them of any new rules plus, the time and place of all rush activities. - • A new system of silence has been set up according to" Dean Etter Turner, to do away'with some of the petty rules which have been in effect in the past. Such things as, if a sorority woman could eat with a prospective rushee, or be in her room were discussed. This has been left.to the, discretion of the sorority girl, with the statement that no Greek woman can make appointments with rushees, but could sit with them in the Commons or Hatrack if she were alone. The Constitution of Panhellenic was reviewed by Jane Kraft, who was in-charge of revising it. The. - only two new resolutions which? will. be effective on the Stetson carripus were made by National Panhellenic Council. The first one. asked that-the $1 rushing fee paid -by i.11 --rus-ieesr-be' abolished and Will be paid for" by the local Panhellenic. 'The second suggestion was that more Panhellenic. Wei-, coming'parties be held for new' students. To., confer with' this, Stetson - Panhellenic will-have an "Open House' on Wednesday, September 19, before the girls sign up for rush on Thursday in addition to- the Panhellenic tea on Sunday, Sept. 23. Awards of Panhellenic Keys for . one year, of' service went to the out-going members. The Greeks which receiyed these keys were: Linda Fulford, Alpha Xi Delta and past President of Panhellenic; Yvonne. Wilby, - Alpha Xi Delta; . Libby Seigle, Delta Delta Delta; Lisa-Durgin, Phi Mu;- Judy Wood, Pi Beta' Pni; and' Jane Kraft, Zeta Tau Alpha. Concert Chorus Presents-Show ' ■ The Stetson University combined Concert Choir and Chorus presented a concert in Elizabeth Hall auditorium at 8 p.m. last Tuesday. The public was_ cordially invited to attend at no charge. . • One highlight of the program was the first public performance bf Richard Donovan's "A Chapel Service."
