This announcement was made last week by the Danforth Foundation, St. Louis, as the Foundation named Stetson's seventh winner— Robert Wood of Gainesville, senior majoring in chemistry and planning to go into medicine.. The Foundation began its' fellowship program- in 1951. -Fellowships go to college men who' show remarkable promise as future teachers. A fellowship provides four years of study in any U.

Evidently no one had bothered to give a fire alarm. What would have happened if the boiler room had exploded? Suppose the fire .■ trucks weren't prompt? No alarm — - . The girls living in Chaudoin Hall looked across the campus, saw the confusion a. Emily," arid became skeptical. What if the fire had been iri Chaudoin? "It would have been necessary..for the .house.-,council to '■ run ■ oyer to ' Stetson Hall to a ..borrow fire alarms in order to save the girls, in time. Chaudoin doesn't have a fire alarm system." How many seconds have they said it would take Chaudoin to be burned to the ground? Don't worry girls.' Fire precaution isn't a 'big thing' here' at safety-first Stetson University.

NOTICE ; Students expecting to graduate next year, please make application in the Registrar's Office as soon as possible, i - riculum. Annual stipends are $1,500' for single men and'$2,000 for married-men, plus" tuition 'and fees..' Nominees are selected on the basis of intellectual promise and character, integrity,, an interest in religion, and high potential' for effective college teaching. • The Danforth graduate fellowship program was established with the-hope that through financial aid, if needed, and a • personal "relationship of encouragement,", the , Foundation :could assist college men in -becoming the most competent and highly motivated college teachers they have the capacity to become. To foster these .aims, Danforth fellows attend three annual conferences- on teaching at Foundation expense. Leading scholars take part in lecturesr^seminars and informal-contacts with fellows at the conferences, and meet with small 'groups at academic centers throughout the year.,< . The Danforth graduate fellowship program ranks-with the National Science Foundation and other federal agencies, and the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, as one of the largest in the nation. It is unique in the length of time it supports fellows, and in its stress on personal contacts with and between fellows in study and after they begin teaching. Danforth fellows may concurrently hold other awards such as Rhodes, Fulbright,' National Science, or Woodrow Wilson. . ' The Danforth Foundation; one of the country's 10 largest private educational foundations, was founded in 1927 by the late William H. Danforth, St. Louis businessman and philanthropist. The Founda-' tion's primary aim is to strengthen and enrich higher. education in America largely through a series of graduate ..fellowship, programs to encourage better teaching.. Campus Has New Police "Stetson has been underprotect- ed for a long time," said Dean Furlong. He was explaining the hiring of new campus police. Advance Security Engineering Inc. now supplies Stetson with two men from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. daily to patrol the campus and report things which seem amiss. They use a check-clock system and record, in. their log_ book their various actions during the night. - These men go about .the campus during the night to check the buildings to see that the doors are locked, the lights are burning and that no unauthorized persons are in them. The main reason the guards were hired was because of the numerous petty thefts and break- iris which- have occurred in the' last few months. Also", because of these guards, Stetson's fire insurance rates are down. As the next step, these armed guards will be provided with walkie-talkies so they can be in continuous contact all over the grounds,-and. get to trouble spots more quickly. The company supplies Stetson with not only the men, but with a complete and proved-plan- for efficient-service and all the uniforms -. and equipment that is needed. Dean Furlong seemed to feel that it was all a very good bargain. But what/ about Stetson's old night watchman who's been here for so many years? Said Dean Furlong, "We won't get fid of old Josh. There'll always be a place for him at Stetson." However, what his new job will be has not yet been, decided. - One thing is certain, ' though; Stetson's, modernization program is going ahead at full speed and the little college is growing up.

University Baid, .has rer tunned to the DeLand 'campus from Brunswick, Ga:,-where.: he conducted the eighth district junior high school Band Clinic. Students participating were - selected from about 20 schools to make up a clinic band of 125- pieces. ., According to Feasel, "It/was a real challenge for these - young 'players from 7th, 8th, and . 9th grades to tackle, some music of very serious content. They responded beautifully," and, according to reports from their directors, school administrators and parents, their respoose produced the' best results and the finest' quality of any clinic which they have held. It was a real pleasure to lead this many young instrumentalists with such worthwhile results." Fraternity and sorority -weekends are continuing as, we come to the end of the semester.

Doyle E.'-Carlton, • president- of Stetson's Board of Trustees, has announced.

Students with greater demonstrated need may receive additional help through work grants "or loans. :. Carlton said Stetson trustees are working constantly with leaders of the Florida Baptist' Convention seeking their counsel end guidance so that both the University and the Convention can continue to work* together harmoniously. For the 50 or so people seated in a circle, the next half hour will become - a mystical' adventure, as they travel in darkness to points millions of miles away. Several thousand people who have had this "adventure" recently should recognize that the description fits Stetson University's Rice Planetarium ' Richard Knapp, Stetson junior end student director of the planetarium, notes that last year more than a thousand visitors to the DeLand campus attended these shows. Stetson's first planetarium shows were presented in 1956 by Emmett Ashcraft, associate professor of mathematics, and Dr. John Vaughen, professor of chemistry. In 1958 Don Hall, who was graduated in 1962, began.the first student-directed shows. INVITED.TO TEACH - Hall is now oil the staff of More- head Planetarium at the University of North Carolina. And now Knapp has been invited to teach courses in astronomy at the More- head Planetarium this summer. "Although I'm a junior and am majoring in history," Knapp states, "I have become so interested in astronomy I may have to change all my plans." 'He was invited two years ago to direct Stetson's" planetarium'-"by*-- Dr."-Robert '-Chauvin, professor of geography and faculty advisor of the planetarium. Stetson was given its planetar: ium in 1956 by Dr. L. L.' Rice, a former president of " Cumberland College in Lebanon, Tenn. Rice, after a long career in academie work, became interested in astronomy and purchased a Spitz planetarium and established a program of shows in St. Petersburg. CANVASS DOME When Stetson received the Rice Planetarium'it was set up-in the Monroe Heath Museum in Flagler Science HalL The dome, 20 feet in diameter, is made of canvas and the large Spitz projector projects stars down to the fifth magnitude. It is the same type of, precision machine used at the Hayden Planetarium in New York City. _ The planetarium room will accomodate; 50 people. As the lights dim, then go , out completely, Richard Knapp, or Robert Johnson, assistant student director, begins, speaking quietly about what the audience will see. After a few minutes, "when everyone's eyes have become accustomed to the darkness,. the first "stars begin to twinkle and a lecture begins on the mysteries of the universe. ' Each month the show is changed. The current show, which opened recently, projects a missile rising from the,southeastern sky, followed by the , appearance of the Mariner probe in the top of, the dome. As the Mariner-approaches Venus, the zoom projector causes the planet to grow " larger arid larger as , the , function - of. the scientific equipment, sent to ex- plor the planet is explained. STUDENT WORK ' Tlie Mariner model was constructed by Knapp" from/ photographs. As in all planetarium shows the oew^ one was 7 planned and executed entirely by-the student directors. When new, small projectors are needed, they * are BSU Banquet Held In April Stetson University's Baptist Student Union held its annual banquet April 4, in Allen Hall. , Miss Biliie Pate, Y.- W. A. director for the Southern Baptist Convention, was the. speaker. Also attending were Miss - Reda . Copland, Y. W. A. director for the Florida Baptist Convention, Jacksonville. ..,.'•' The' banquet theme," "The Old South," was carried out by students who transformed the Allen Hall auditorium into an old Southern . mansion. Entertainment centered around Uncle Remus' story "Tar Baby," and James Sheldon Johnson's "The Creation." Priscilla Jones, freshman from Atlanta, Ga., sang selected music and B. lg Vicky freshman from Charlotte, N. C, led the group in singing old Southern favorites. hand-made by Knapp and Johnson from odds and ends. It takes several days to accumulate research data for the shows and Knapp and Johnson learn the material ' and speak without notes. During recent months shows have included. a scientific and historic theory of the Star, of-Bethlehem; "Down to Rio/' a study of the skies; of the -southern hemisphere, and the "Zodiac". "When we are putting together a new show I practically live in the planetarium," says Richard, who normally lives at home with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Knapp, of DeLand. Robert Johnson, his assistant, is .from Jack sonville, and is a sophomore majoring in geography.' - - The Stetson students are com-; pletely absored in their work and find the challenge of presenting a new show an exciting opportunity. to probe deeper 'into the mysteries of outer space. ' * - The Rice Planetarium is used in Stetson's general education course in geology and astronomy, and for an -' astronomy course. There is also a 12-inch telescope at the planetarium which is .available for use on request. The.telescope lens, of 100 to 250 power, was made from the same pouring which produced the 200-inch lens in the Mt. Palomar telescope. ■ Stetson Professor Earns Lectureship In Philippines Dr. Gilbert Lycan, chairman of Stetson University's history* .and political science department and former member of the U.S. depart-" ment of state, has been, awarded a Fulbright lectureship -at Silliman University, in Dumaguete, 'Philippine Islands, for the 1963-4-year.
