Hague Writes Articles For Encyclopedia NEW YORK — (Special) - Prof. John A. Hague of Stetson University has written two articles for'the 1964 edition of The Encyclopedia Americana, it has been announced by Grolier Incorporated, publishers of the reference work. Professor Hague has written articles on "U.S. Communications" a h d "U.S. Way of Living." The 30-yolu'me Encyclopedia Americana, initially published in 13 volumes in 1829, is edited on a continous revision basis, with about 20 per cent of the '64 edition being either new or extensively revised. The '64 edition places emphasis on the presentation of material that reflects the important current national and world happenings. Included are several new or completely revised articles on the presidency, elections,, presidential succession, apportionment and the biographies of Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. Milton Work Is Discussed Dr. Louis L. Martz, Smith professor of English literature at Yale University, lectured on Milton's "Paradise Lost" to Stetson students and faculty Tuesday night, April 28. Martz had been meeting with Stetson English classes and conferring with students during Religious Focus Week. "I don't know when I have worked so hard and had such a good time," he said. "Stetson is a splendid place to come for a visit." " 'Paradise Lost' is the greatest poem in the English language, or in any language since the death of Dante," said Martz in describing the monumental work which Milton planned for 30 years before beginning it. Though dealing with the fall of man, the garden of Eden, and paradise, Milton's poem also leads each reader's mind to recover the sense of paradise within his own 'soul, Martz said. "Paradise Lost" starts and ends in "horrid darkness" but glows with light and peace in the central section, Martz said, likening this format to our world framed in the darkness of sorrow and error, but lighted within by the love and power of God. He explained how Milton's whole style and general plan of organization "compels us to see the wonderful symmetry of creation, .the basic order that underlies the universe, and the bountiful goodness of God." DeLand Resident Given Fellowship Stetson graduate Marvin Reed of 519 N. Amedia Ave., DeLand, has accepted a fellowship for $2,800 from Tulane University, New Orleans, La., to further his graduate study in history.

His wife, Judith Hartlieb Reed, also a Stetson student, will be graduated from Stetson in June with a bachelor's degree- in music education. The couple hopes to work and study for the next four years at Tulane to complete Reed's work in history for a Ph.D. degree. Reed received a similar offer from . Emory University in Atlanta, but declined it in favor of the Tulane fellowship.

Premiere Held For 'Creation' Stetson presented the world premiere of "The Creation," a work from a sacred! text composed by Henry Cowell for chorus and orchestra in Elizabeth Hall last Friday. Commissioned by Stetson to compose this work, Cowell heard it for the first time that evening, after giving a lecture on "How and Why a Composer Creates." Stetson's Robert L. H a u se conducted' the combined chorus, choir and orchestra in presentation of "The Creation." A man of wide interests and musical- achievements, internationally famous composer Cowell has been- called a Paul Bunyan in music. Composer Henry Brant said ". . .his hand has been a powerful one in shaping our musical culture into the self-sufficient unity which it is today." Presentation of "The Creation" was the last event of the Christianity and the Arts program presented at Stetson during Religious Focus Week. The week featured guest experts from the worlds of drama, literature, art and theology. TEXT OF SPEECH Introduced as "one of the greatest living composers of our time," by Dean Paul Langston of'Slctson's School of Music, Henry Cowell spoke to students and the public in stetson's Elizabeth Hall auditorium Thursday, April 30. Cowell, who has created 18 symphonies and is working on his 19th, spoke informally and humorously on techniques of 20th century composition. Cowell said that the great difference between the past and present is that the 20th century musician has a more dispassionate approach and has to find out for himself what will happen if certain elements are used. "There is no one to tell him what is good or bad,!' Cowell said. Learning all the theory of music courses will not make one a good composer today, Cowell explained. "One must learn all that there is, of course, then choose what land of composer he means to be." "Who knows what music will be fifty years from now," he mused. "Certain I am that it will be diversified." Discussing briefly the music of Schoenberg, Bartok,. Stravin- plained the -use of dissonance in modern music. He then played some of his own compositions, one of them created when he was 15 years old, in 1912. Displaying an impish Irish wit, Cowell demonstrated how,he had to use his palm and forearm in one composition to hit all the necessary notes. "I have been greatly maligned," he complained. "I have been accused of playing with my elbows, and that I have never done.!" Cowell played the piano strings like a harp, producing sounds resembling .cello or violin tones. He also played "a Banshee piece, intelligible only to those of Irish ancestry" on the strings while Dean Langston manipulated the foot pedals for him. Students Want Bar On Campus ABERHYSTWYTH, Wales, April 24 — More than 1,200 university students walked out of their classes today in protest against a refusal to allow a bar in the students' union building. Operation Book - Lift Held Tod DELAND — A holiday from classes today has been proclaimed by President J. Ollie Edmunds. Edmunds has set" the day aside by request of the Stetson Student Senate for a special "Operation ' Book-Lift." The entire student body on campus will pitch in arid move 65,000 books from the old Sampsott library to the hew $1,000,000 library. Students will be assisted by many of the Universitys' faculty. As each 1,000 books are moved the University bell on Hulley Tower will toll. Lines will be formed by classes. David Stacy, senior from Tiffin, Ohio,, and .Patty Snow, senior from Delray Beach, are co-chairmen of the student effort. After the move, books in the new depository needed by students to keep up their classwork will be available to them. The library itself, however, will not be opened officially until later on this year, Edmunds said. "Some details of construction still-remain to be completed inside this fine new addition to our campus," the Stetson president declared, "and landscaping and 'sidewalks must be completed on the outside. Documents and specialized materials also have to be moved." "When construction is complete, all of the ' University's friends everywhere will be invit ed to a formal opening and dedl* cation of this building, which-i3 the largest academic structure on the campus," Edmunds added. Each Stetson student has.been assigned a time to come to tha new library and join a human convpyor belt. Each individual •will ■ carry ■ approximately ' 65 books in one hour, after -which his time will be his to do as he pleases. There are approximately 200,» 000 books and documents to be transferred to the new -Stetson- library, but only 65,000 will be moved during "Operation Book- lifht." Librarian Bob Lee Mowery estimated total moving time will be about six hours.
