Minnesota Ave, closed between the Boulevard^ and'Garfield-Aye., and Amelia_Aye.. closed between Wisconsin and Pennsylvania aves.' Stetsbn University 'president* Dr." J. Ollie 'Edmund's1 Monday announced plans .for a space-science center on the local campus, but said that the key to its construction is the closing of Minnesota Ave. between the Boulevard and Amelia Ave. only, and a short section of Hayden Ave. between Minnesota Ave. and May St. Stetson owns most of the property in the shaded area on the map-, plus property to the west of the' Boulevard. Three university planners have recommended construction of the proposed $2-million science center on a site which is now, the center of E. Minnesota Ave! at Hayden Ave. m**S'w*xv SUB MOVIE IN REVIEW By JOHN PICKERING Three Faces of Eve is a movie based on the study made by two University of Georgia psychiatrists of a three-way personality. The film is presented as a kind of digest of a psychiatric case history, and the story simply follows the progress of the patient toward a cure. The stars are Joanne Woodward, Lee J. Cobb, and David Wayne. Into the office of a psychiatrist (Lee J. Cobb) walks a plain and rather prim young Southern housewife named' Eve White (Joanne Woodward). She complains of blinding headaches and spells, but after a few talks with the psychiatrist she finds relief and goes home. Then one day, months later, her husband (David Wayne) finds the bedroom covered with fancy clothes which Eve insists she didn't buy but the people at the store insists she did. This is Eve Black, a hip-flicking gal who sneers at her husband, neglects her child,- takes up with any male who will give her a big hello, and likes nothing better than to get thoroughly gassed. Her husband gets sick of all this and gets, a divorce. But wait a minute—. Eve Black starts having more spells and, you guessed it; another ' personality comes into being. .This one is called Jane and she seems to be a normal healthy girl without a Southern accent. The psychiatrist has a' ball' switching Eve or Jane's various personalities, but eventually he finds out that all the trouble stems from when she was a little girl and was required to kiss her dead grandmother on her bier. As you see, Eve is a kind of psychological quick - change artist; we never know from one moment to the next what sort of girl she is going to be. It takes quite an actress to. play three roles at once, and Joanne Woodward proves to be just, the one. As evicteric'e of ■ this she 'was given the Academy Award as Best Actress of the Year for her performance in this film. .But despite Miss Woodward, Three Faces of Eye proves to be a picture of dreary confusion, for as yet a camera has not been invented that can probe around tlie" landscape of the soul and make it entertaining. CLASSROOM CONSTRUCTION College Aid Bill Okayed By House-Senate Group , WASHINGTON — Aft er years of frustration, backers of federal aid to education today had a $1.2 billion program fpr college classroom .construction ready for congressional approval.', •.,.., ■ - The • legislation authorizes a three-year "bricks and mortar" program' of grants and loans totaling $1,195,000,000 for the nation's more than 2,100 colleges and .universities, including about 800 church-connected schools. COMPROMISE BILL The big federal aid measure was completed Friday after two days of closed-door sessions by House' and Senate negotiators who resolved two prickly church-state issues to reach agreement on a compromise bill. Rep. Edith Green, D-Ore.,, a leading House negotiator, said she expected the House to vote on the compromise bill some; timeNnext week. ■ If approved "by Congress, it would be the first general college aid program ever enacted. A similar- bill got up to • the wire last year but bogged down at the end, largely because bf a. dispute over providing federal funds' for religious institutions. The outlays in the bill are designed for construction of classrooms needed to meet the flood of new students who are expected to more than double present campus enrollments within the next decade. There are no funds for teachers', salaries. Two-thirds of the cost- of classroom. facilities must be put up by the stales or schools in the case of the federal grants, and one-fourth the cost in the case of loans. SATURDAY PROGRAM Green Feather Carnival' Is Scheduled At Stetson Stetson University has announced it will hold its annual Green Feather Carnival on the campus ROTC drill field, Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Labeled "Stetson's orange crate version of a World's Fair" the Green Feather Carnival is part of the university's yearly fund drive to raise1 donations for approximately 25 ' worthwhile national and local charities. Green' Feather, which last year aided such organizations as The American Cancer Society, American Foundation for the Blind, American Heart Association, and the- Florida Sheriff's Boy's Ranch, has set this year's goal at $3,300: The carnival will consist of 20 booths operated by the fraterni ties, sororities, and other organizations active on campus. In addition there will be a turkey shoot,' an exhibition by the ROTC Pershing Rifle drill team, and • the crowning of Miss Hatter for '63-'64 will be conducted at 9 p.m. with background music from the Daytona Lions Club Calliope. Games of luck-and skill will be offered by the booths, which will be competing to see which one Will raise the most money for the Green Feather Fund. A trophy will be awarded to the booth making the most money. Student co-chairmen for the Green Feather drive are Patti Paulk of Pompano Beach and Marion Moorman of Winter Haven. Hearing Set On Stetson's Street Bid DeLand's commission Monday night set Nov. 26 as date for a public hearing on Stetson University's request that portions of E., Minnesota Ave. and N. Hayden Ave. be permanently closed to permit- construction of a planned $2-million space-science center. ■ , City officials, who met last week with Dr. J. Ollie Edmunds and other university faculty members,' received official request for closing the streets last night. Dr. John E. Johns, the university's business manager, asked the commission to take action on the request "at the appropriate time." OBJECTION NOTED The city received also an "official objection" to the university's request1. James P. West", a De- Land insuranceman and former city commissioner, ;told the board the Sigma Nu Holding Co., a fraternal organization,"objects .to,, closing the streets "without property owners who would be affected first being notified." West, a director of the holding company, said the organization owns a 132 x Ill-foot lot which is bounded by E. Minnesota Ave. He said the holding company objected to the university's request because a principle street can't legally be closed prior to a public hearing conducted by the municipal authorities; closing the streets would be a direct violation of the Florida and U.S. constitutions and of Florida laws; the street has been used for 50 years and right to use the street exists by prescription; the holding1 company had not been legally notified prior to the uni-. versiry's request; members of the holding company would have to be notified and their approval obtained prior to conveyance of the lot to, the university, and Sigma Nu fraternity members would be deprived egress and ingress to their property. Ward 4 commissioner, H. W. (Jack) Johnson, called for the public hearing and urged university and Sigma Nu officials to "try and solve your differences" prior'to the meeting. ■ City Attorney T. J. Husfeld recommended that the board take no action toward closing the streets until "all the property owners have been consulted." Plans for Stetson's-new $2 million sp^ce-science center and a major campus facelifting were outlined by President J. Ollie Edmunds this week during a luncheon with . DeLand civic leaders. The new science-center, which will eventually replace Flagler Science Hall across the street from Elizabeth. Hall, will be' erected near the center of the campus on Minnesota Ave., in accordance with the finding of three separate professional campus planners. EXPANSION This ,site has been chosen, because it allows space for later' expansion - of the facilities- as its roll in relation to local industries will increase. . Pres. Edmunds said, "I like to think that Stetson University and DeLand can become the center of a new and prosperous industrial complex." He said.that modern industry is attracted to areas where universities can supply specialized training in technical and engineering skills. This was the reason, he explained, that numerous electronic industries have moved .to'Palo Alto, Calif., the7location of Stanford University and its huge science center. CAMPUS UNIFIED Also discussed at this luncheon were plans for unifying the campus by closing the streets that intersect it and linking the buildings ■ through the use ,of a central mall and walkways. Specifically,. Pres. Edmunds requested the city to close E. Minnesota from the Boulevard to Amelia Ave., and also eliminate Hayden Ave. from Minnesota Ave. .to May St. This plan is designed to bring the components of the campus into a compact unit centered around the new library and proposed science center. The DeLand Chamber of Commerce has backed strongly and unanimously approved the proposals. Said Pres. George Mich- aelos, "From a .business point of view this could' probably be called one of the most' important steps Stetson University has taken since its foundation." IMMEDIATE ACTION Other organizations also urged immediate action on these proposals because they said that the new center would provide the post-graduate work and continuous study so sorely needed by the scientists at General Electric and Cape Canaveral. George Fluegel, a local official, of General Electric Co., after hearing of the plans for the> (Continued on Page Two) Science Bldg. Finances Outlined Dr. John Johns, business manager of Stetson University, explained that Stetson's new $2 million science center will be-financed by borrowing money from the1 federal'government under its newly passed $1.9 billion program'-of federal aid for college construction. In his speech to: the student assembly on Monday, Dr. John- pointed out that Stetson preferred to borrow and repay the money than7 accept it as a gift from the government, as is provided , for under the five-year program.' Whether this goal will ever- be realized depends on the decision of the Senate concerning the eligibility of religiously affiliated colleges to accept either a grant or loan under this bill. Another snag, he explained to the assembly, could be the closing of Minnesota Ave. where, it crosses the campus. "It is one of the three main east-west traffic arteries of DeLand," he said, and. suggested that the city might be cool to the idea of blocking it off for . the three block stretch required in the building plans. He said that heavy traffic and its resulting .vibrations could affect the delicate instruments planned for installation in the new science center, however, and said that this was one of the reasons the land next to Elizabeth Hall on Woodland Blvd-. was originally ruled out as a possiblei site for the center. Dr. Johns also predicted that once ' the- building projects got under way, they would not end until a fine arts center, a new business school and the long- awaited Stetson swimming pool were built and.all of the campus' was moved to the east side of Woodland Blvd. Senate Resolution 1963-64 STUDENT SENATE RESOLUTION No. 6 REQUEST TO -THE FLORIDA BAPTIST CONVEN- - TION TO APPROVE A1 SPECIAL CHRISTIAN EDUCATION CAMPAIGN.
