Superior Juniors • The Ford Graduate Program, a three-year program of study, commencing with the junior year, for superior students who are interested in becoming college teachers, will start next year on the Stetson University campus. Dr. Richard B. Morland*^ director, of the program at Stetson, said 21 juniors have - already been accepted to the program and that he expects several more to be; accepted before next fall... "We also -have about- seven '-f transfer students from junior colleges around the-state that are being admitted to the program," he / said. ! - ■' " ' The purpose . of . the graduate program has two arms: - (1)'- to prepare teachers in certain .fields of general education for the junior colleges; and (2) to give3can- didates the type of preparation that' will enable them to enter Ph.D. programs at cooperating universities without . the loss of time in.meeting essential prefe- auisites. ' ■ The i Bachelor' of Arts and- the Bachelor of Science degrees will ...be awarded after the student com- ''''pletes his senior year. - Then after an. additional year and" summer of study he will receive his Master" of. Arts or Master of Science degree. - SIX STUDY PROGRAMS The subjects initially^ included in the. Stetson program are English, - biological sciences, history, mathematics and American > studies. ,_ ' ' A major emphasis of the Ford Graduate" Program is one providr ing various opportunities for the candidate to instruct college classes. In his .senior year, the stu- • . dent will serve as the research and * teaching assistant of a professor in 'his major department. After he has been awarded the bachelor's degree, two plans are provided whereby the Ford Fellow gains additional teaching experience. He may elect tf intern during the "summer session' at Stetson or he may wait- .until • the? fall semester and intern in'one', ofthe five junior colleges within 90' minutes'drive-of Stetson. ■''-,-'•': ATTEND SEMINAR 'Under both plans, the candidate" will attend a seminar, in college teaching where he will meet with his professors and other-Ford Fellows to discuss current issues in higher i education and the procedures and techniques that,contribute' to superior instructional programs. • ■ ? ; ■ Dr. Morland said' that anyone Wishing information about the program should see him in Room 202, Sampson Library.

McEniry, this year's president of the Southern Assn. of Colleges and Schools, spoke to the seventh annual meeting of the Florida Assn. of -Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, -group representing all Florida's" colleges. One of, our, fictions is that we have a dual educational system, McEniry said.' Actually it is tripartite—^tate, private,' and church supported. SCHOOLS GET SUPPORT But even this is not wholly true, he said. For example, the biggest private' school, Harvard University, reqeives 34 per cent of its support from Federal government money. In, that sense, "all schools are pub. lie—also they're „ all tax exempt and have protection of.law. The largest'secular schools have internationally famous theologians and teachers-of religion on their staffs, McEniry said." Some of the biggest church-related institutions train' more scientists and politicians ' serving government than many" state-supported schools' do. "What we - are about .in this business is the- education of as many Americans as we can to the limit of. their capacities as soon as these capacities can .be determined," the Stetson dean asserted. .And the job done by each kind ■, of institution' of higher education" is not so different as we thinli.' ' " . ■'.-.'-■ ... WIDELY-HELD FICTION : Another, widely-held fiction is that teaching is "a profession, MC7 ■Eniry declared? But a true profes- ■ s:on v e q u i r e s self-employment," "sets'its own qualifications,,is,controlled by -a set of ethics,'arid is policed' through it membership? None" of these is true of the "profession"' of .teaching. < - On, the ■ other- hand,, McEniry said," the last hope of individuation -is our college faculties Teaching has the attitude1 of a profession—it honors individual hope, respect for freedom, >love of a man who does his job just because he wants to do it right, and belief in searching for the truth. ' ■ SPORTS . .Other academic .fictions are. that we \Iiave, intercollegiate sports— they're more profesisonal ;than intercollegiate—and that the library •is the heart ;■ of 'a campus ' — a student'who misses- Orientation week sometimes never finds the -library, ■ - ■ . /We. like to think that.bur students .become instructors who be- 'feome ■ deans/who become presidents-and eventually trustees, but we all 'know .this isn't true?"" McEniry said? It isn't true because it isn't. a true hierarchy of-values. A university is a multifarious activity, McEniry declared; it is a hierarchy at work where the student is regarded as a sacred human being? The faculty is< there to- serve this student, and the administration is there for the-same reason. REGISTRARS DON'T KNOW . Finally, .it's a . f iction that registrars really keep records, McEniry said. They don't really know how many, students we have, because, who really knows who a New Men's H o using .In c lu d e s Dorms For Honors Students % .ecital- :-To-'Se ■ Given.

Peaeock, sophomore..sen-, ator, explained, "I feel that' the S.G.A. fee should be used to promote - a -greater social life at Stetson, as well?: as'.to support the present fine arts lecture program". I feel that there is a need for some social activity such as dancing in which a great majority of the student body can meet and socialize."
