SUPPORT STETSON SOCCER TEAM OCTOBER 12 ®to • * • titter WELCOME TO STETSON NEW FRESHMEN Florida's Oldest College Newspaper • •• 76th YEAR - NO. 2 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3,1963 PRICE 10 CENTS * ■ :A Edmunds Speaks ToDAR "Patriotism is often the last refuge of scoundrels—unprincipled persons unable to achieve ' their selfish ends any other way' too often clothe themselves in patriotic colors." That is what Stetson University President J. Ollie ■ Edmunds told the Florida state society of the Daughter's of the American Revolution in their meeting at Miami Beach. Dr. Edmunds said the most encouraging sign of true patriotism here is the growing determination among so many that our young people have the chance of confronting the myth of communism with the facts and values of our American heritage. The Stetson president told the DAR that patriotic organization have to be especially careful about judging motives, because the times are too serious to make mistakes. "It is just as dangerous to brand patriots as scoundrels as it is to embrace scoundrels as patriots," Edmunds said. DON'T JUDGE "I repeat — we have to be careful about setting ourselves up to judge motives of other people. "We do need to' understand the enemy. We must try to be able to recognize him. It might help to know that he is really not 10 feet tall, nor is he invincible. He probably won't have a beard—nor will he be wearing a gun." ■Missile sites are not the greatest danger in Cuba, Edmunds declared. "The real dangers there are the Soviet Training Centers that are- feverishly making dedicated Communist fighters out of little children." Our enemy understands clearly what he is trying to do, and will find' most- Americans sitting ducks; for/his ammunition,:: the- Stetson:' president said.' //'/77*7' :REAL DIFFERENCE ■ '.'Most ••' of 7 us 7 do, hot' know., the 7 real, difference between Communism and Americanism. The Soviets do know! They have: a deep-rooted commitment, to education."/ •/;.;." ~. ';■ 7Edmunds-said General Twining of-the Joint Staffs' once described, a Soviet -document on the: Com. ,-- munist commitment to education as'7 "the .most: frightening words ■, I ever read." ■ / "Do7we Americans have such commitments?,".Edmunds asked.1 "I fear net. We have not faced the truth of the7 dictum of Lenin: 'Give'us', the child for eight years and he will be a Communist for-, ever. He who has the youth has the1 future." :■ Edmunds said America's schools ' and colleges. giving instruction on the'history, doctrines, and techniques of Communism are' helping to instill a greater appreciation of freedom and democracy under law and the will to preserve that freedom. -.■■' '.'■: '7 There is no time to relax, the Stetson .. president / declared.

Liberal Arts Value Study Is Under Way Stetson University is cooperating in a national study of liberal arts alumni being conducted by the survey research center of the University of California at Berkeley, Arthur F.'Tuttle Jr.7 Stetson'assistant dean, has announced. The study will explore a number of significant relationships between liberal education and vocational progress. Selected male alumni from Stetson classes of 1948, 1953, and 1958 will soon receive an extensive questionnaire asking for information on their post-college experiences, Tuttle said.

It stars Charlton Heston, Harry Guardina and Elis Martinelli. Coo-coo comedy is intended and Pigeon gets off to a flying start as two GI's (Charlton Heston and Harry Guardino) sneak into Nazi- controlled Rome disguised as priests. Their mission it to spy on the Germans and send their reports out by carrier pigeon. However, the priests get involved with a couple of Italian girls (Elisa Martinelli and Gabrielia Pallotta), one of which loves for money and the other who loves for love (and suffers the consequences). To "celebrate this new acquaintance a party is given and the pigeons are the main course. After this new pigeons are needed and thus a sneaky schoolboy steals a fresh flock of pigeons from the Gestapo. When released the pigeons fly straight home to the Gestapo with the messages meant for the Allied intelligence. But never fear- just in time (the last reel) the enemy pigeons come home tp roast. . The film is dominated by Hes- trai's teeth, Guardino's humor and Gabriella's outstanding features.

He went on to state that" "it was a vote of confidence in our program by the most important foundation in the world." The Reporter asked Pres. Edmunds if the inta-est of the Ford Foundation illustrates the statement the president made in several speeches about the commitment many feel necessary towards the strengthening of the small, private liberal arts college. Dr. Edmunds fully agreed and stated that the foundation saw a need for such action to keep the private liberal arts college in existence. He explained that the Ford Foundation realized it could not serve all of tlie over one thousand colleges in need of.support from private sources. The foundation, tlie President explained, had to find those that were the "centers of excellence." Stetson is one of 50 such centers picked by the foundation.

'■ The ■ . other foundations will 7 consider the potential that Stetson exhibits. A-university does not make an application, for" the1 type, of. Ford grait that. Stetson received. The grant was "awarded after a long investigation: and" survey, initiated by theFord Foundation. Pres. Edmunds felt that: the,allocation, of funds for the! Ford/Graduate Program three! years ago/was the beginning: of the Ford Foundation's interest in, Stetson.! "The Ford Graduate Program -was the first step-in the foundation's realization of Stetson's potential.
