GREEN-WHITE BASKETBALL TONIGHT, 8 P.M. SEte SEE THE BROTHER'S FOUR NOVEMBER, 20 • •• Florida9s Oldest College Newspaper • *• 76th YEAR - NO. 8 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1963 PRICE 10 CENTS 'Well, All Right'Is SUB Hootenanny Record Well, AU Right! — "The Best Cf the S.U.B. Hootenannies," a brand. new high fidelity long- playing- record containing the best performances from three hottenannies presented by the Stetson Union Board this year and last, is soon to. go into production. The record (nearly % of an hour in length), includes only the very best of the folk- music talent on the Stetson campus. There are 14 songs in all — 2 rtiore than on most L.P.'s — and these were selected from the nearly 100 songs originally recorded on over a mile of magnetic tape. The record is being produced by the Stetson Union Board in cooperation with DBD , Audio-graphics, and is available to all Stetsonites. Featured on the album are: Captivating Anne Nathan, singing "When the Sun Goes In" and "Gone the Rainbow";.The Qiiin-. cy Singers (the local group that Was a hit last Easter in the shows at Daytona) performing "You Can Tell the World"; Jack Herlong Speaks To Students The Hon. Syd Herlong, Congressional Representative from the fifth district, spoke to Stetson students in their regular assembly in Elizabeth Hall Monday morning. Herlong encouraged the young citizens to apply themselves to thoughtful participation in political activities. He stressed that government cannot give the public, anything until it takes, first, In taxes. ,« The constant demand from minority groups, from state and local governments for national aid results, eventually, in more and more restraint on the ordinary man who pays the taxes, he said. Herlong said the only way to reduce the national debt is to resist the impulse to appropriate money. "We must support tax policies that will encourage incentive and thus bring in taxes, in the future," he said. Herlong believes we have reached the point of no return in .our tax receipts. Congress is working on a bill to relieve the "tax burden for men with incomes over $16,000 and for industries, so that incentive to work and expand and to cre: ate new jobs will be restored, Herlong said. The congressman said he deplores the antics of the "extremist fringes" who cloud the issue's before the public. The minority demands are often so noisy that the ordinary voter mistakes them for the majority's wishes, he added. "There is no more effective lobby in Congress," Herlong insisted, "than an intelligent letter from an ordinary citizen. Inform yourself before you write," he advised the students, "but do not think your effort will be ignored." ' : Over ten million students will enter the labor market • in the next few years', 'Herlong pointed out. He encouraged them to work for private enterprise. Russia's government - dominated industry has shown us that incentive dies in that sort of economy, Herlong said. "I don't see the function of the federal- government as a kind of nursemaid, to look after all the desires and needs of the people." 'In a question and answer period after his talk, Congressman Herlong stated that he thought the electoral college method of electing presidents should be changed because it no longer shows the decision of the majority. On civil rights measures now being considered, he cautioned the students to remember, that sometimes in our enthusiasm to give one group of citizens - a right, we take away the rights of another group. "Passing laws doesn't change hearts and customs as much as .time and sincere goodwill," he suggested. Beiler Speaks The Geographry Honorary Society will present Dr. T. Beiler professor in the chemistry department, as their guest lecturer Tuesday at 7:30 p.m." In Allen Hall. He will present part of his collection of 2,000 slides from Pak-' istan- Williams and his sprightly banjo sound, with "John Hardy"; Jill Nicholson and Charlotte Am- berg doing Jill's own tune "Listen to the Wind Blow"; the exciting new Farlanders playing "Sing Out"; and sensitive,and convincing Chris Wise singing "Saint James Infirmary", and "Backwater Blues." Also feature are Jim Lea, -Anne Nathan, and Joe Bassine combining talents on a swinging .arrangement of "Walk Right In"; Glenn Baldwin with his original composition entitled "Portrait of Mary"; and perhaps the showstopper of them all, Jim Lea, soloing on "Don's Think Twice," "Flora," "Four Strong Winds," and his own complete "Poor Boy."" The record will be cut, from the master tape next week by Recorded Publications Company of Camden, N.J., a concern with wide .experience in producing limited quantities." of top-grade records for schools and industry.

In the film adaptation of this play the first purpose has been eliminated. Homosexuality has generally been regarded as a distasteful" sub-' ject' for • the % motion picture screen, and all' reference, to" it has Iherefore been removed from the film. ,And in some respects the movie suffers for not conveying the element of homosexuality and. the stoiy line- contains grave ambiguity. But the other purpose is fully conyeyed.a nd the film, perhaps better than the play, shows the necessity of facing up to the woes of life and death. This is transmitted in the exploration, of the" twisted souls of- a rich Mississippi Delta Planation family and is done so with great dramatic zeal. The practically plotless story has to do with a 65th birthday celebration and the twelve hour's in the lives of the celebrants. The characters are a typical array of good common American folk. Big Daddy. (Burl Ives), a tyrannical old so and so who owns rather than loves his family, is the birthday boy.' But for he will learn that he has terminal cancer. "Big Mamma (Judith Anderson), a pretty sad case after forty years of marriage to a man who can't,stand her, is an old "biddie Incapable of facing the truth.-The eldest son, Gooper (Jack Carson) and his unattractive but fertile wife, Sister Women (Madeleine Sherwood) are on hand from Memphis with their five obnoxious brats to make sure that they will get the whole of Big Daddy's estate (which is "28,000 of the richest acres west of the River Nile"). The younger son Brick (Paul Newman) is-a 30 year old baby and former football star- who refuses to face the responsibilities (Continued on F_«« Two) Greek Gab By JOYCE DEATON , With the activities of Green Feather drive over; most of the sororities are settling down for a breather before the next project comes up.

The Countess and her retinue are dressed in elegant costumes which' symbolize a _>y-gone era in fashion. The entire group of madwomen dress in clothing which came directly from the gay ninties. Included in the cast are people of the more seamy side of Paris whom the Countess draws into her select inner circle and rescues frpm the evils of- the world, outside. Giraudoux attempts,to show the evils of a capitalistic- ally orientated society. The "Madwoman of Chaillot" uses two very typical Paris settings.
