Stover Tells Tulip5 Story By RICHARD KARBERG Stover Theater's production of "Hans and the Tulip" begins tonight • and runs thru Saturday. The show is a musical. "Hans and the Tulip" was written by Mr. Walt Sonnenburg, Technical Director of Stover Theater. Featured in the show are members of the Teen Theater group. Teen Theater members are local DeLand residents, many of them the children of Stetson University faculty members, who .attend classes in theater work on Saturdays at Stover Theater. They participate in a program which runs the entire school year and one of the high points of their training is the presentation of a full-length show. Presenting "Hans and the Tulip" is only one aspect of the work done by this group. The members of the Teen Theater were last seen in' Stover Thea,- ter's production of "The Merry Wives of Windsor" seen at the theater in the month of March. Mr. Walt Sonnenburg directs the activities of this group and is assisted by Stetson students who also work with these children in the Saturday program. Mr. Sonnenburg has had considerable training in working with' children's theater groups. • One of Mr. Sonnenburg's most noted experiences with presenting shows for children was the creation of "Hans and the Tulip." Mr. Sonnenburg wrote the play in New York where it was presented as an off-Broadway, production in 1960. He was assisted by Mr. Cecil Bentz who wrote the score for "Hans and the Tulip." This show appeared at both the-East End Theater and Washington Players Theater in New York. The plot of this musical concerns the introduction of the tulip into Holland from the Orient. New York' critics at the show's opening said "It is about this bulb Hans brings from India and people say it is an onion- only it is a tulip." The entire show is in songs and many of the children have the names of famous personalities from Holland.such as Hans, Griet Van Dork, and Queen Juliana. "Another critic subtitled it "Tip Toeing Through the Tulips." Assisting Mr. Sonnenburg is Katherine Menefee,' Stetson School of Music student, who' is arranging the music for this production. Also assisting with this play 7 are members of Stover Theater technical crew who are at work on the Dutch costumes' and s7ets necessary for this show. This show as with all Stover Theater-productions is free with a Stetson activity ticket. Stover Theater's final production of' the season will be "Diary of Anne Frank" May 14-16. * * * The Stetson Film Club will present its silent film festival this evening at Stover Theater immediately following the performance of "Hans and the Tulip." Republicans Sponsor Holley Charles R. Holley, Republican candidate for governor, was the principal speaker at the third annual banquet sponsored by the Stetson Young Republican club last night in the Stetson Union. April Is Named Teaching Month April is Teaching Career Month throughout the United States—in the cities, the towns, the villages, and the rural areas. At Stetson we have a great many students who are going to make teaching their career. The Student Florida Education Association is the professional organiaztion on campus which encourages all prospective education students" to join hands with all teachers in the United States. Kappa Delta Pi is the education honorary on campus. Both of these organizations foster professional growth in the education field. These local groups wTQ""]oin with the National Education Association, which esta b 1 i s h e d Teacher Career Month in 1958, to focus public attention on the need for getting and keeping the best possible instructors in elementary and secondary schools and colleges. The-theme this year is "The Teacher Molds the Future" — as educator of our children from kindergarten upwards, as a builder of free and democratic citizens, as an advisor who may guide a student toward a worthwhile career, and as a friend who may help.a worried student solve a knotty personal problem, or persuade a student not to become a dropout. The men and women teachers in the teaching profession, including those in colleges, make up a working force of more than two million. They form the largest Griffiths On U.S.F. Panel Professor Bruce Griffiths, Associate Professor of Speech and Director of the Theatre at Stetson, attended the 75th annual conference of the Southeasternn Theatre Conference held at the International Inn and the University of South Florida, March 19-21, 1964.

NEA RescarchThave thelT0^"65^' Aprd ?J„at_8.?:™J professional group in the United States, outnumber the Federal Post Office Department about four to one, and just about match the number of civilian employes in the Federal Government. Even with so large a number, however, more qualified teachers are needed to fill vacancies now and in the future, NEA Research studies show. In the - public elementary schools, adequately trained instructors are urgently required to handle 'the increasing number of pupils. These pupils now total largest class loads, are responsible for the background upon which further education depends, and often lack adequate professional preparation. In the public high schools, with a current enrollment of nearly 15,000,000, the situation is different. The problem is not the number of teachers available, but one of distribution. There is an excess of instructors in some fields. There is a shortage in special fields, including science and mathematics, technical and vocational education, English and foreign languages, physical and health education for women, and home economics. In its .campaign for better schooling'where needed, the National . Education Association is using Teaching Career Month: 1. To. show- that for our nation's survival, teaching must be the pre-eminent profession in American life. 2. To improve our nation's schools by providing increasing numbers of fine teachers. 3. To do this by encouraging qualified young people to consider teaching as a career. - - 4. -To urge topflight teachers to remain in the profession. 5. To inspire teachers to speak out lor their, profession and encourage others to enter it.. 6. To inform parents and other citizens of the opportunities and rewards the teaching profession offers today's youth.

Recent achievements of the Concert Choir include a four- night presentation of the opera "The Merry Wives of Windsor," by Nicolai, in cooperation with Stover Theatre on-Stetson's De- Land campus. This was a standing-room-only occasion on all four nights and probably the best production as well as the most difficult the music school has ever done, according to Director Harold Giffin. The choir sang to 450 high school" students who were members of their high school glee clubs at a district six Florida Vocal Association meeting in Panama City on March 20. The audience accorded the' Concert Choir a standing ovation for this concert.

Southern Bell Speaker Forecasts Bright Future Claude J. Yates, vice president and general manager of Southern Bell in Florida, last Thursday spoke to Stetson's business school students on the development of the telephone business and on the kind of men business is looking for today. Yates, pointed out that, in contrast to the past when two or three companies were in competition in an area, today the telephone business is operated'as a monopoly regulated by a commission. Competition still exists, he explained, with other telegraph companies, and with, private-industries and educational television operators who build their own micro-wave systems. FREE ENTERPRISE "Our operation proves that the U. S. telephone business is better under free enterprise than foreign phone service ■ is under government operation," Yates asserted. Zenkovsky Receives $10,000 Fellowship For Research The director of Stetson's Russian Studies Program, Dr. Serge Zenkovsky, has received a $10,000 Guggenheim Fellowship for a year of specialized research in Europe during 1965-66. Zenkovsky, who is professor of history at Stetson, received a similar grant from the American Council of Learned Societies but he declined it in accepting the Guggenheim Fellowship. The purpose of the European study will be to show the impact of Eastern European religious movements in the 17th and 18th centuries, the Stetson professor said, as well as how these movements tied in with the rise of capitalism in Russia in the 19th century. YEARS OF STUDY Zenkovsky said he started this study several years ago when he was teaching at Harvard University, and he has worked on it continuously since. Now, with fellowship assistance, he intends to finish his research at the Library of the British Museum, at Oxford University, at Heidelberg University, and at the Vatican Library in Rome. A two-volume work dealing- with the relationship between religious ideas and the* social and economic development of the middle classes is the goal of his work, Zenkovsky asserted.

'lis all free- Southern Bell has created departments to develop new .inventions to increase productivity, and to analyze business praCr tices, the general manager said. New developments which are the result of Bell's research, he declared, are improved data transmission from machine to machine and local or long distance conference calls. By bringing employes up through the ranks, Bell has .developed an organization in which employes are able to earn more money, Yates asserted. OUTLOOK BRIGHT Expressing enthusiasm for the future outlook of business, Yate3 said he would recommend it as "interesting and challenging, providing a full life for a man and his family." Business is looking for men with know-how, Yates pointed out, men willing to work on more than a daily assignment, men with initiative as well as ability. "I don't know- of any time when opportunities to advance have been as great as they are today," Yates asserted. "There is.more challenge than in the past because there is more competition."
