Ponce de Leon Residents To Offer Fiscal Aid A group of same 25 DeLand citizens who met for a special luncheon in the Stetson Union today agreed to work immediately toward the securing of Stetson Associates and Century Club members locally. The group was brought together at the invitation of Austin Conrad and Mrs. Arthur Lane to discuss ways in which local citizens, particularly local businesses, can be encouraged to offer financial support to Stetson University. The Stetson Associates Program, instigated .throughout the state several years ago, is a plan whereby non-alumni make birthday gifts of $100 or more each year on their own birthdays, the gifts to be applied to Stetson's operating budget. ' The Century. Club is composed of - alumni-^who^ give- $100 or - more to Stetson's alumni fund, the United Stetson Alumni. ■ A message from J. Phil Wahle of J. C.' Penney Co., was read to- the group, since Wahle is out of town.. "I'most heartily endorse the Stetson Associates, having been an Associate for nine years, when the plan originated," Wahle said. "It- is my opinion," Wahle declared, "that, as a DeLand businessman,-the yearly payment of $100, representing the interest on $2,000 "at 5% annually, is most certainly the minimum ,we all should provide, to support the institution which means so much to our community and to the cause of higher education in the State of Florida.". ' ' * Dr. James W. Parrish, Stetson vice president, pointed out that the effort to enlist Stetson Associates and Century Club members has no connection with pledges to the University's building fund.. \"This program is designed instead to put new vigor into Stetson's 'life stream,' the funds which make it possible for Stetr son to operate day after day, year after year," Parrish said. "I believe that the business community will respond to this program to strengthen a- great institution which means so much to DeLand, both culturally and economically. .. "Stetson-faces its greatest challenge today. Because, of the action taken in November by the Florida Baptist Convention, Stetson's operating budget has been decreased by-$64,000. These funds were earmarked primarily for scholarships. A good portion of this is already being made up by friends of the University. Rising costs and increasing enrollements also place heavy demands on Stetson. "As in other college communities all over the land, DeLand businessmen and citizens generally will want to help their, institution, and I am sure that Stetson can depend on them to do so," Parrish declared. Progress reports will be given at special campus breakfasts scheduled for Mar. 28, Apr. 3, and Apr. 10, James Avison, Stetson director of development and alumni affairs, said. Springs. This year's Holiday . features many events both for. men and women, but there will be no test of pulling power for Stetsonites. — * Tuesday, March 27, 1962 ,.,•,-•■ -? '8-12 p.m.—Hatter -Holiday.

"The class also offers a basic and advanced art experience for participating adolescent students. , • " S.U.B. Movie In Review . "Robert Ryan is such a good actor' that he makes' "The Proud Ones' seem better than it is.- With intense sincerity and skill he portrays the. marshal of a small Kansas town who is beset with almost as many troubles as Job. With the completion of the railroad, the town' is attracting trail herds from Texas and the roughneck cowhands who go with them? The Palace Saloon is being taken over by a power-minded bully (Robert Middleton) who thinks he was the cause of Ryan's leaving his "last town and has hopes to get rid of Ryan again so - he can grab control here. But it was Ryan's girl friend (Virginia Mayo) who persuaded Ryan to -leave his last job and she is now working to get him out of harm's -way again. Along with the new cowboys is a pugnacious young fellow (Jeffrey ■Hunter) who is determined ■• to avenge ..his.Jather,, wha..had.. bee?n killed by "Ryan." Most of the town- folk, instead of siding with Ryan,, law and order, are enjoying the boom and Middleton's promise of big money. Not the least of Ryan's1 woes is an old head wound that causes temporary loss' of vision— obviously a source of embarrassment for a marshal. "The elements of this story are familiar' to anyone who has seen the better Westerns for the past five "years, but Director Robert D. Webb has mixed them well to keep his audience in a continuous state of excitement, and his good cast which'includes Walter Brennan, Arthur O'Connell and' a large number of supporting players, manages to give conviction to the crowded and violent plot. . It is, however, on fine, upstanding Marshal Ryan that our interest centers? as well as on such occasional statements, no longer surprising in. a Western, as 'Pride can kill a man faster than a bullet.'" Hartung, Philip F. Commonwealth, 64:492 (August 17, 1956). Lucky Jim '"Lucky: Jim' (Kinsley International) commands attention- not for what it is but for what it certainly is not. Taken from the wry satire novel by Kingsley Amis .(Time, May 27, 1957), the least rabid, best-humored and. therefore most persuasive of England's Angry Young Men, the film denies its papa altogether. What had been . a beguiling sidelong glance. at Britain's vision of pie in the sky becomes a succession of pies in the eye. Jim (Ian Carmichael), a teacher of sorts and> of history at a lower-bowge British university, vents his individualism by trying , on a big one in front of his departmental chief, climbing into the wrong girl's bedroom, and burning holes through every blanket on his bed with a cigaret. He also wrecks a ceremonial parade at the university and-passes out stone-cold in the middle, of a lecture on 'Merrie England.' "These are fully acceptable items on the agenda of farce. But the producers have not only failed to capture Novelist Anis' sly house of protest; they cannot even get the picture through the Sennett. Actor Carmichael plays unlucky Jim' with -as much mugging as Central Park on a dark night, and the rest of the east flounders in his frantic wake. A movie that might have been wackily profound is not even pro, and what should have been uproarious becomes, in the end, merely rbari- OUS."
