USA Proxy Endowment Plan Underway For 1053; President Carlton Announces SUZANNE CRAWFORD- j . . . Plays tonight See Senior Recitals A LETTER To:, University Administration I would like to^ take this opportunity to express our utmost appreciation for your cooperation and encouragement which contributed greatly to the success of "Senior Skip Day." ' - We hope and believe that annual day of this type will become a tradition at Stetson. Sincerely, Harry Rutledge President, Senior Class The 1953 proxy endowment plan of United Stetson Alumni, which it is hoped will eventually produce income that will match the income from the University's invested endowment, will get underway in all sections of Florida in the few. weeks, according to Doyle Carlton, president of United Stetson Alumni. Committees" -are being named in a program to personally carry the message of the needs of Stetson to every graduate and former student of the University. Recent long-term pledges "of capital, funds will go far in a building program, it was explained, but these funds do.not meet the current needs for operation. President J. Ollie Edmunds congratulated the alumni on their excellent showing last year under the leadership of Assistant Attorney General Charles T. Henderson. "All costs have advanced more rapidly than our income," Presi dent Edmunds said in urging every graduate and former student to join Stetson's own, USA. "Stetson's .future.is very bright, but we must have support of our alumni now to be ready for the great days ahead." All .-graduates and former students who attended Stetson for one regular term are members of the alumni association. Only those making contributions under the proxy endowment plan are mem-, bers of United Stetson Alumni. During 1952, the first- year of the USA program, 612 persons joined United Stetson Alumni by standing proxy for $57,920 in endowment. - . The returns from the USA drive last year represent the largest amount ever contributed in a Stetson alumni fund campaign and compared favorably with other college campaigns. The amount received exceeded contributions of alumni- to such southern colleges as Emory, Sweetbriar, Goueher, Mercer, SMU, University of Miami, Hollins and Sewanee. The Stetson Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Professor Richard McDowell Feasel, will give a concert in Elizabeth Hall at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, y Professor Harold Milne.

Head, "On the Steppes of Central Asia" by Alexander Borodin, and "Espana Rapso- dy" by Emmanuel Chabreier. Franck's 'Symphony in D Minor" which will be first on the program is one of the most popular selections of its kind and a favorite of concert-goers. The "Esjana Rapso- dy" is a very fiery and briliant piece of music like most of the music based on Spanish dance themes. This concert is one of a group of three. The next will take place in March during the Fine Arts Fes? tival and will feature music by eonj temporary American composeis. The third concert will be the annual pop concert.
