Florida's Oldest College Newspaper Washington Notes What happens there . See Page Two. 75th YEAR NO. 4 DELAND, FLORIDA, FRIDAY; OCTOBER 13, 1961 PRICE EIGHT CENTS This long line of nervous freshmen, anxiously awaiting their bids, seems.to indicate the. culminaton r -.- of another successful rush season. ,•„■•■< Frats The Fall Semester of men's rush came to a close last Friday with the handing out of 86 bids by the six fraternities on the Stetson'campus. .At the beginning of the term, 177 men signed up for rush, but only 108 of these men filled out preferential cards. Although there were 111 spaces open, the fraternities gave only 86 bids, with3' the hopes of filling out their pledge, classes as the year progresses. / The preferential bid-procedures were carried out entirely by Dean " Baggett, Adviser to Fraternities. Each rushee wrote the fraternities of his choice in order of his preference. Each fraternity in turn handed in a list of the men they desired in their pledge class. These two lists were compiled, and the rushee was told which fraternity would like to have him join. In the case that two or more fraternities bid for a man, the rushee's first preference is always the. deciding factor. ■ The pledges for this year are: DELTA SIGMA PHI ' Ralph Green, Jacksonville,.

Republican Club Organizes Twelve Stetsonites braved the rains Tuesday night to attend an organizational meeting of-the De- Land-Stetson Young Republican Club, held in the Court Room.of the DeLand City Hall. John Jacobs, of DeLand,' temporary chairman of the organization, told .the Young Republicans that "representative government can succeed? only .where- there are -healthy,- responsible -political parties. '' '•-• • ' "We need responsible two-party government," Jacobs > said. "We can no longer "stand thwarted at the state level by the pork-chop politicians and their -Democrat cronies', who refuse to reapportion and to equally redistrict'Florida." "We can no longer stand by as ■ the Kennedy Brothers stuff . our rights as individuals and as Flor- idans into the gluttonous Federal octopus —"' seeking not to strengthen America, but to weaken her moral fiber. ."It is time for a return to principles upon which this nation was founded . •. . the time is now, the place is here,*'and you,, and I are the instruments," he concluded. The objects of the Young Re publican Club are: to stand for the' principles upon which ' this nation was founded; to advocate,' promote and maintain the principles of Republicanism; to foster and promote the interest of all persons in the political duties of an informed citizenry; to teach the" purpose of political parties; and to perform such other work as may best conserve and promote .tha„intjerests__.of„rtheJ,JR-epubJiicari, Party andJ Young Republicans.?'

Open Letter Dear Parents, Alumni, and ' Friends of Stetson: For the first time in its his- • tory, Florida's oldest college newspaper, THE STETSON REPORTER- is offering subscriptions on a mass scale to interested parties. It is the hope of the staff of The Reporter that through these subscriptions we may ■ bring' those persons interested Sen, Smathers Gives Report . With the pounding of the final gavel at 6:16 a.m. on Wednesday, October-4, the first session of the 87th Congress went into .the history books. As' a footnote th the present critical times, Senate . leaders in both., parties assured the Presi- , dent of the United States. that in 'the event he.:felt it necessary to call a special session between ,now arid January, the Cofagress could be back'in Washington and ready , for business within 24 hours notice. PAPER WORK, RED TAPE ADD TO DEFENSE BUDGET - In the last fiscal year the government spent $23 billion on -military : '.'hardware" (equipment and supplies) for the three armed services. . Some 15 months ago, as Chairman of the Military Procurement Subcommittee, of; the. Senate Small Business Committee, I asked ari advisory group to study the efficiency of -our vast military purchasing programs.' , Their report has just been completed. Here are some of the findings: • ■ •' • , , Two to four billion dollars of the $23 billion .spent, each year for military supplies is wasted on needless paper work and red tape. '■ Our'defense dollar could be stretched at. least 10 percent if military purchasing systems were streamlined. . ''—For instance, a small business firm.wishing to fulfill a military contract is. expected to read 150 pounds of specifications—some 348 separate items." Reading time: 20 thousand hours. Our, massive defense effort has been greatly accelerated : through the contributions of small business men.. Working in their own shops, independent and highly qualified engineers have made important contributions to our security and developed technical "break-throughs" of lasting value. It would be wasteful, costly and harmful to our nation if we do not make.full use of small business in our defense, effort.. , . T will.strongly support the recommendations made by the Military Procurement Advisory Committee' to increase the efficiency of our defense program. FALLOUT SHELTER ■ PROGRAM SHOULD BE EXPLAINED ' With , the headlines every day looming bigger and blacker in reporting world .crises everywhere, riiore and more Americans are expressing concern about our:na tional civil defense posture and the steps they should.take as?individ- uals to protect themselves and their families. . - As a nation of pea,ce-loving people, we abhor the idea of I nuclear war, but as ..realistic people, too, we should and must be informed as to how to best make preparations iri the eventuality of a nuclear attack. , ...,', ? Recent official government reports have indicated", a sutotan- tial increase in radio-active? fallout—due to Soviet nuclear testing —in many areas of the, United States including Florida. This in turn has caused increased concern and confusion' among the people..' .Because of the lack of adequate information and direction on the subject bf fallout and,bomb,shelter preparations, I recently wrote to Defense Secretary Robert Mc- Namara urging ' that he arid-his experts give the'.public a .condensed, effective rundown on . the subject by means of a nation-wide, 30-minute TV and radio broadcast. The public should be told clearly what the present shelter situation is,. and what steps- they as individuals should take. Tfeel that the American people want to ■ know and are entitled to know the answers to these problems which gravely concern all" of us. !' ' Soccer Gome Tomorrow (See story on Page 3) in. Stetson affairs closer to the actual development of the University. In this, issue," the friend of Stetson may learn about the new campus plan, read student commentary on world events, and discover the views of the college student.

The Reporter has adopted a new page size, never before, , used at Stetson.. One four page ,-ssue of the present paper is- comparable to twelve pages of the recent parers. . Furthermore, there is proportionately less advertising - per page than ? ever before.

There have been many plans for the new" campus submitted which have taken long hours,.days, weeks, and months of concentrated study. This is obviously necessary. when 20 million dollars is, involved. However, there5 ~ are indications that some definite decisions will be made by 1962. ]' The people who will decide the layout of our new campus have already been chosen, at least in respect' to their position.'' There will be.a committee of .twelve in all,' composed' of two members of the' student body (the Presidents of ODK and Mortar Board), two representatives from the Baptist Convention (to be chosen by Nov. 17); two-members of ?the faculty, two alumni, two' members of the Board of Trustees and two citizens from DeLand. Each member of the coinmittee will have an equal vote in all • matters brought before it. It-is, good to know that the student body has an equal voice and vote in choosing of the future Stetson Campus. ' There have- been many plans presented to President Edmunds for the new campus. And despite the fact that it has already been rumored that certain plans are already definite,' only an addition to Emily Hall and the new men's housing are considered absolutely final. However; officials feel that ground-breaking will take place as soon as possible, but definitely within the next two years. NEW LIBRARY The library will be situated, on the site of Holmes and the tennis courts, facing the fountain. It will be rectangular in shape and approximately 162 feet square (as a comparison in size, it is interesting to note that the present library is only 150 feet long and not nearly as wide.) The. new library will house over a quarter million books, 125,000 documents, and an abundance of periodicals. It will be constructed on a three floor plan, ■ much as the' present "Samp'soh-Library-isr-The-first -floor- will contain the reference books, social study books, and work areas. The second floor will house the audio-visual rooms, the rare book section,- smoking areas, and gov- oernment documents. . The basement floor will hold the seminar, rooms, periodicals, and air conditioning plant. The library- will feature open stacks from which the students may select their own books. This omits the awkward method of applying to the librarians for books, English First . Stetson's chapter of the English honorary Sigma Tau Delta elected officers at its first meeting of- the year- recently. President will be Sharon Sanders, assisted by First Vice President Sandra Porep and Vice President-in-charge-of-Mem- bership Michael Gillum. Other - officers include Lynn Evans, secretary; Fred" Richards, treasurer, and. Heleri M. Miller, historian. The fraternity also wishes to congratulate Sharon. Sanders, whose one-act play,. The Followers has been published in the Autumn issue of The Rectangle, the Sigma Tau Delta national magazine. The Albatross—subject of Prof. Langford's lecture Mon. night. as is practiced' under the present system. FAMOUS ARCHITECTS - Among the many architectural firms involved in the campus study is a Boston association which is considered the best in the nation. They have presented three , or four' different plans which promises to make Stetson one of the, most beautiful and distinctive campuses in the South. Their latest proposal includes a huge auditorium to stand on the" grounds now occupied by Stetson Hall, and DeLand Hall. The firm has also, proposed that the School of Business and the Science "Building be built-where the Forest of Arden is located. The latest campus' plan finally includes the long, awaited swimming .pool. • It is to be located roughly where Hulleypyrii presently"-is situated. There are to be two pools; a-swimming pool and a diving pool. The pools will be surrounded by cabannas. - Because of the importance of this project, the administration has taken a great deal of time arid deliberation to see that every detail is in the best interest .of the University. Now, after years of discussing minor points, it is ready' to begin the actual planning' with" the committee. However, the magnitude -of the Stetson campus plan keeps it from/-, becoming a reality over night. But,/ if contributions remain steady, iC can be a reality within the nexr fifteen years? The students are the best representatives' of dhe University, ■ and- President,?'Ed-, munds urges the fui; support'of the student-body. '.,:"- Seniors who .are interested In learning more about the business possibilities that their interests and their college major best equip them for should consult the Office of Placement, Room' 203, School of Business. - Mr. Godfrey, Stetson's Director of Placement, has had-a wide experience in the business world, having come to the University from a position as Research Director of the J. Walter Thompson Company, the world's largest advertising agency.
