..I DON'T FORGET PRE-REGISTRATION DEC. 9-13 BASKETBALL HOME GAME FRIDAY, 9 P.M. • • • Florida's Oldest College Neivspaper • •• 76th YEAR NO. 10 THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1963 PRICE 10 CENTS f' Stover Play Boasts Uimjue Background Stover Theater's forthcoming production, Jean Anouilh's "Antigone" at Stover Theater December 11-14, has an unique background. • The play originally was a tragedy written by the Greek dramatist, Sophocles in the golden age of Greece. The play was read and performed in the ancient world and was carried on Into the modern age. When World War II came, Paris was occupied by the Nazis, and the French initiated an heroic resistance against the Nazi atrocities. As* part of the protest, and also in tribute of what the French were doing in hampering the Germans, Jean Anouilh adapted the ancient Greek tragedy to fit twentieth century France. Anouilh had an unique problem in attempting to adapt the Greek play. He wanted it poignant enough to have significance to his fellow Frenchmen and he also had to make lt unobjectionable to the Germans running Paris.' When he had to develop the male lead, Creon, a ruthless tyrant who subjected many to his iron will, he created a tyrant acceptable within the personage of Hitler by tlie Germans and also a tyrant the French saw as oppressive. His female lead, Antigone, also had to fit a dual role of pleasing the Germans through her own stupidity and lack of forethought and still have significance to the French. Anouilh resolved this problem by creating a 'situation where Antigone insisted upon going out to bury her fallen brother. The act of paying tribute to fallen heroes had a deep- meaning to the tragic French whose fellow countrymen, acting in the resistance, were ■ forbidden proper burials by the'Germans. ,. . GUARDS. UST5D_ ,, ■'""Anouilh finally achieved identification with both the Nazis Stetson To Give Teacher Exams Stetson has been designated as one of the testing centers for administration of the 1964 National Teacher Examinations next February, Dr. George W. Hood, Stetson dean of students and director of guidance has an^ Bounced today. ■ College seniors preparing to teach and teachers needing examination scores' to submit when applying for positions are eligible to take the tests. Examinations are prepared and administered by the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, N.J. Designation of Stetson as a testing center for these examinations will give prospective teachers in this area an opportunity to compare their exam performance with others throughout the country who take these nationwide , tests, Hood said., At the one-day testing session, a prospective teacher may take the common examinations, which include tests in professional information, general culture, English expression, and nonverbal reasoning. He may also take one or two of the 13 optional examinations which are designed to demonstrate mastery of particular subject matter. Exam applications and information bulletins describing registration procedures and containing representative test questions may. be obtained from Dr. George W. Hood, Stetson University, DeLand, .or directly from the National Teacher Examinations, Educational Testing Service, Princeton, N.J. Those planning to take the tests should secure an application promptly, Hood advised. . Dr. Hague Speaks In Los Angeles Dr. John A. Hague, director of American Studies courses delivered a paper at the 43rd annual meeting of the National •Council for the Social Studies on Nov. 29 in Los Angeles. Hague's paper considers the nature of the gaps which seem ■to separate creative work in the .social sciences from creative work in the humanities. It suggests that effective education -.must force the student to.examine the world around him more closely, consider his heritage in a greater detail, and relate his •acquisition of knowledge to a more profound understanding of 'his own existence. The Stetson professor's papers 1 have been published in the De- comber issue of "Social Educa- fem." and the French through the use of three guards. Guards were employed in the play to mock the German police forces, the Gestapo, and show the French the decadent behavior, of the Germans. The Germans, contemporaries reported, found the guards very amusing. These unique problems entered into Anouilh's original production. When you go to Stover Theater next week to see "Antigone" you ,will not have the same emotional response as did the French in the German occupation, but it is important to remember the types of problems this very unique play presented for the author at the time of its first performance. SUB Movie Preview By JOHN PICKERJNG One may be surprised to learn that Period of Adjustment was ^yrittcn by Tennessee Williams and that is characters are normal people. Well, almost normal, for the hero is scared sick of sex. In the film the poor boy (Jim Hutton),, on his wedding night, gets thoroughly bashed and bellows at his bride. (Jane Fonda) like a bull (telling her to tear off her clothes); but as the night progresses he passes out meekly on the nearest sofa. Next day the newly-weds arrive at the house of Jim's best friend (Tony Franciosa) who tells them, "Don't worry, you're just.going through a period of adjustment." Tony is not in the best shape to be giving such advice, for his wife '(Lois Nettle- ton) has found out that he married her just fpj.hcr money; so she takes their four-year old son and goes home to mother. But, alas, Williams this time provides ,us with' a happy ending as in the end everybody ends up in the right bed. Williams is no marriage counselor but as a creator of situational comedy he knows his trade. On the whole, Period of Adjustment merely touches the surface of tlie psychosexual difficulties of the two couples, and it proves to be never too embarrassing, sometimes touching, and often very funny. On Thursday night, December 5, the film Come Back Africa will be shown in the Stetson Room. This movie has been widely acclaimed and deals with the slight toward the African in South Africa. Although the film is especially designed for students, taking African history, the entire student body is invited. *rtV ^ _A/ril_/__/rtSAT t * _- ^ f 4v__r SS\^W»V^C-VWi-V**,-V*W-'««W-'-'^-' f Greek i.

Stetson has received the first large gift in Its. drive"to "raise $3 million in the next three years ■to match the $1.5 million granted the. university by the Ford Foundation. The gift — for $15,000 — was presented by the U.. S. Steel Foundation Inc. to the university- "This check will become 545,- 000 for Stetson," President J. Ollie Edmunds told A. V. Wiebel of Birmingham, president of U. S. Steel's Tennessee Iron and Coal Division who presented the gift. STETSON PRAISED Speaking' of Stetson's Ford grant this week, W. Homer Turner, U. S, Steel Foundation executive director, New York City, told a' special luncheon gathering- in Jacksonville,. "This is truly an opportunity for all of American industry, for Stetson's alumni and friends, to participate in the future of this fine university which holds such great potential for distinctive regional and national service." It is a distinctive privilege for U. S. Steel to participate in this campaign kick-off with a first gift to Stetson, Turner said. Stetson University always, did and still does walk with style, Turner declared — it "has maintained its superior quality, reputation throughout all the fads of the times." ' ' Each dollar contributed now can produce two additional dollars for Stetson — one from the Ford Foundation and another from the Florida Baptist Con- i-ention which has Just agreed to raise $1.5 million for the university, Turner said. Turner,said all business and industry will have to do more if the needs of Florida's" private educational institutions are to be met. MORE NEEDED Corporations and corporate-financed' institutions and trusts within 15 years should be providing educational aid *at several times the present level, perhaps four or five times as much, Turner declared. Such a result might quantitatively aggregate in excess of $1.5 billion yearly, he said. "Alumni, trustee, and individual support likewise might be expanded to a level of possibly $2 billion of annual aid. Bequests, patents, royalties, auxiliary income sources, and other forms of resource realization might be expanded to' around $1 billion in the same span of years." ' "In short," Turner said, "I foresee the possibilities of philanthropic resources .increasing above the-current-billion or so dollars to a some day maximum of four to four and one-half billion dollars." The purpose of liberal arts higher education is "to cultivate in the largest possible number of our future citizens an appreciation of both the responsibil- come to them because they are Americans and are free. These responsibilities and benefits are best articulated by youth steeped in the liberal arts, Turner said. "I commend to you the cause of Stetson University and join you in seeing it to its deserved fulfillment." Stetson President Edmunds challenged industry and business to shoulder what he said is -their responsibility to support private, education. Fifteen years ago,; Edmunds declared.over half of American students attended private colleges and universities. Today, only about 10 per cent do. - "It is not only not- in the, public interest, but it is also not in the private interest — it is a threat to the system we call free enterprise," the president said.
