They went into, effect last Monday. Jane Hall, Vice President of Women's Executive Council, was -.-asked to comment on the new- women's rules which are the result of discussion among all women on the Stetson campus. Jane says that the majority of women '' are very much in favor . of the changes because they feel this .is their chance to use their' own discretion and exercise their self government. . , "This is only an experiment and only with the thought' of consideration and common sense on the part of the girls are- these rules going to be effective," Jane stated. Responsibility "True, the new rules are adding responsibility, but no more responsibility-than .college women should be willing to accept,", she continued. ■ . . ' _ "' When asked to comment specifically on the change in the sign- out rule, Jane observed that when girls signed out Tinder the old rules, they only wrote "campus" or "town" or the like under the "destination" column: Since this information was certainly not "specific enough to be • of value, ■ the purpose in signing' out' was lost; so "Why sign out?" the girls asked. Jane said that all girls know - when the dormitories close, and it is the individual's responsibility to be in on time. Voluntary Signout - " -Under-the-new-system,-'.signing .,out. is voluntary; if a girl wants to be found in case of an emergency, it is up to her to sign out. There have been comments that freshmen women need more restrictions than upperclassmen. Jane feels that freshmen more - than upperclassmen need to learn how to accept responsibility. Freshmen women have said that the old rules do not promote a learning situation; the- new system, however, will provide ample opportunity for freshmen and upper -. classmen to learn how to accept (Continued on Page Three) Spring Term Brings 219 To Law School Stetson "University's College of Law in Str Petersburg reports an enrollment of- 219 students for the sprtag^semesier.' -All.--but _six. are men: _",' In the student body are .represented 31 states, and 2 foreign countries. ■ Stetson. Law ■ College students come from 79, colleges and universities. One hundred and seventy- four' had graduated from college prior to entering law school, while 45 .entered after three years of college. Over a quarter of those entering after three years of college transferred from the DeLand campus. Twenty-two entered law School after receiving the bachelor's degree from Stetson. ram Student Applications - Applications are now being accepted for the Ford Graduate Program at Stetson University, according to Dr. Richard Morland, director. The program is a three-year master's degree plan offered for the first time at* ; -^-^- .Stetson and designed to prepare superior students for college'teaching. The program is open to any student' entering his junior year in college. Applications should be submitted by April 15 for consideration for entrance in the class starting in September.. Two Basic Aims . Supported by a grant from the Ford Foundation,- the Stetson graduate program has two" basic aims: (1) to prepare teachers in certain fields of general education for the ^junior colleges; and (2) to give preparation enabling candidates, to' enter Ph.D.-. .pror '■'grams at cooperating universities without, delay.. Those selected will study under the close, and- personal supervision of Stetson faculty members. . - ' . ...?? ' The A.B. and B.S.. degree will be awarded. after the completion of -the candidate's. senior year. The M.A. or M.S.-degree, will be granted after an additional year and -summer of study.; Upon Completion j of the program, each graduate will have met certification' requirements .to teach in a junior college. A Placement Bureau will be maintained to assist in obtaining positions with the colleges. ,' , -, • . . "' ' " Five Subjects'' Subjects to be included initially in the Ford program are English, biological sciences,' history,- mathematics; and American studies. The candidate majors in one of these fields in'the college of Liberal Arts. A special effort is being made to'see that candidates have the skills in foreign languages . that are essential for graduate work, particularly, those graduate .' stur dents who may transfer to Ph.D. programs at other universities. This foreign ■ language requirement is an especially fine feature of Stetson's plan, according to Dr. O. C. Carmichael, consultant for the Fund for Advancement of Education who visited Stetson recently to discuss the program. Carmichael also said plans for the program places Stetson among the top four or five colleges out of. the 37 in the country with this kind of graduate plan. ' - Research Assistant ; "A major emphasis of the Ford Graduate Program is on providing various . opportunities for the candidate to instruct college classes, .' . .• .. In his senior year, the student will serve as ' the research and teaching assistant of "a professor in 'his major department. ■ - After receiving the " bachelor's degree, two plans are provided for additional teaching' experience. The candidate may intern during the > summer session at Stetson or he may wait until the fall semester and intern in one of the five nearby junior colleges. Under both plans, the. student will attend a seminar in college teaching where he will meet- with his - professors and other- Ford Fellows to discuss current issues in higher Education and techniques that contribute to superior instructional programs. . ? . Financial Aid > Financial. aid, based - upon need, is provided for candidates for their junior and senior years through. Stetson's Financial Aid program. For the year and summer of- graduate study, stipends and scholarships up'to an amount of $1,500 are reserved for candidates in the Ford Graduate -Program. In addition, students may be awarded scholarships from national foundations, for the graduate year. - ' Those interested in more information on the college teaching program should write direct to: Dr. Richard Morland; Stetson.University, • DeLand, Florida. enw ,h,t <}(«.' /\>f>< '>-(/> t f'tW/?-'<'/$>* *A» > './< y>- S.V - . < > /a >-» #A SOW^JWfS^JSKSSJ'w**.

Movie In Review "The number of films that have "grossed .more than a million dollars in one theater can be counted on the stiff fingers of two or three -bemused statisticians. Since 1933 M-GrM has played '85 .films, in New York's Radio City Music Hall. Eight "of them grossed a million dollars or better — 'Mr. Miniver,' 'Random Harvest,' Valley of .Decision,' "The Great Caruso,' 'Show Boat,' 'Ivanhoe,' 'Band Wagon,' iand i.'jSeyen---Brides? -for--Seven. Brothers.' This last, Hollywood's closest approach to the "theater's phenomenal '.'Oklahoma!', shattered all previous records by passing the million mark in 30 days. Smash Hit "Like 'Oklahoma!', 'Seven Brothers' was a bit- of a surprise, the more so because it parlayed 'Plutarch . and Stephen . Vincent Benet • into the year's happiest daily double. '.There was help, of course, ranging from a good cast to Michael Kidd's lively choreography, a matching score by Johnny Mercer and Gene de Paul, picture post-card sets and an over-all feeling of earthy euphoria. "The film, although based on Stephen-Benet's.short story, The Sobbin' Women,' ' and his folksy account' of how seven Oregon pioneers raided a nearby town for as many willing j wives, goes back to Plutarch and his 'Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans.' Quite a neat trick. Old Theme, New Face "Four months, as Plutarch tells us in his latest hard-cover edition, after Rome reared its tentative head, Romulus and his. friends offered violence' to the neighboring Sabines: The kidnapped women (various .historians give various counts) struggled, for the record, but remained in Rome to live happily ever after. Plutarch allows Romulus an apology on strategic grounds: 'Namely, that they had taken no married woman,: save one. only, Hersilia by name, and her too knowingly; which showed that they did not commit this - rape wantonly, but with a design purely of'.forming, alliance with "their neighbor by the greatest and surest bonds.' This is a nice alliance, if you can get it. As Johnny Mercer puts it: •Y'heard about them.Sobbin' Women who lived in the Roman days; v' v It seems that they all' went . swimmin' while their men was ■ off to graze; Well, a Roman troop was / ridin'^by; , ( And. saw -.them in? their me- 'oh-my,' ' ■: '" ; " So they took 'em all .back home "to dry, ' '. Least .that's \vhat - Plutrach " ? says.'" , . Copyright ' 1953-54 : Loews, Inc. Rights controlled by Robbin Music Corp. Used by permission. "Oh.

Alsace-Lorraine, and Provence.
