MAJOR OBJECTIVE • Major objective of the program is to bring up-to-date and rein-, vigorate the teaching of those who enroll. Participants were selected from senior high - school teachers of mathematics with at least four years of ' teaching experience. Junior high school teachers also were eligible provided they had a definite commitment in the mathematics field and could, in the judgment of the staff, benefit from- the program. . .. A second objective of the Stetson institute is to use the talented,high school juniors in the University's Early Admission Program for demonstration and experimentation. The instructional staff includes Medlin and Emmett S. Ashcraft, associate professor of mathematics, assisted by the following Stetson students: Elizabeth Moron of- Ft. Myers; Jo Anne Conte of Tampa; Sherwood. Hoadley '.of. Daytona Beach; Dan Peterson of Pierson, and Tom Peters of Orlando. ,, The Institute consists of two courses in mathematics. The main course is-calculus — a basic review of algebra, trigonometry and analytic geometry, followed by a formal development of calculus. As time permits selected topics from analytic geometry ■ and calculus will be covered. i The seccnd course is an introduction to programming for digital computers. The/ '_ourse includes basic - properties "and capabilities cf computers, the Fortran system, introduction to • machine language programming, and symbolic programming. Each student will practice on Stetson's- IBM 1620. GUEST LECTURER One night each week during the summer term, a guest lecturer will be presented. The lectures will include talks on-' methods, applications to digital computers, enrichment and theory. TNine hours' of academic credit are available, and courses may be used for the renewal of a teaching certificate. Flagler Science Hall will be used for formal instruction and the Stetscn Union building - for ail lectures. Honors House and other small residence halls on the De- Land campus will be used for housing. Stipends have been awarded to Institute participants at- the rate of $75 per week plus $15 a week for each dependent to a maximum of four. Thus a participant with a wife and tliree dependent children would receive $1,080 for the eight-week session.

The. program consisted of a dinner and a talk by Charles C. Col- ley, Jr., of Colley, Trumbower and Howell, CPAs of Orlando. According to David W. Miller, associate . professor of business administration at Stetscn and also a CPA, programs such. as this are furnished each year by the Florida ^Institute of Certified Public!

" r- "" - Dr.- Schultz' topic will be "The Politics of Friendship" and will deal particularly.- with the recent elections in Canada. Once upon • a time college g.-aduates had to scramble ; for jobs." The story is considerably brighter-today. Henry F. Godfrey, visiting assistant professor-of-business administration on Stetson University's DeLand campus, spends much of his time arranging interviews between senior students and representatives of business and government*who are looking for future administrators. International Business Machines recently .-had four jobs open in management to ' be filled from Florida colleges. They chose three Stetson seniors, ■ Godfrey notes. -Godfrey breaks .down Stetson's graduating class in the following way:' "Approximately one half of the students choose to. attend graduate schools; others go into the'service, teaching, music, or the ministry; still others go into their father's-business, such as citrus, cattle raising,' or farming. ,; "This leaves about 40 seniors each' year who avail themselves of our service. So far we have been able to assist 90 per cent of these students in finding excellent positions."-: • • -, -; -ASSISTED 300 ,,'.'.

When representatives of business or - the U.S. government, or the state of Florida arrive on campus they are not necessarily looking for graduates in specialized fields, Godfrey declares. • . ABILITY TO LEARN "They aren't ■ interested in whether a student majored in English, psychology, business, or mathematics," he says. "They are -interested in the student's proved ability to learn.". It's good grades, in stiff courses, that count, the director of placement emphasizes, and top Stetson students can be'pretty well assured of good .positions. . , . The "people seekers" arrive on campus-in two waves. They usual: ly come in October and November, and again in January, February and March. Godfrey, arranges interviews with interested students in the Stetson Union building. Since last fall approximately 60 representatives have conducted interviews with students from al- Bowl Winners Await TV Bid This year's Stetson University Quiz Bowl- has 'provided the De- Land campus with a good look at potential team-members to send to General Electric's TV College Bowl, whenever a bid. comes through. ■ ■ ■ The - two semifinal ' matches, broadcast over WJBS April 22 and the final match, aired April 23, were sored by Oxyner's, the local General Electric supply store. During the matches, a -member of Stetson's Student Union Board kept individual scores to see who among the, contestants' combined quick response- with accurate answers. According to Dr. Gerald E. Critoph, faculty sponsor for .the Phi Society which is running the annual,Quiz Bowl,.the--team which Stetson sends to the College Bowl will most likely-be drawn '• from those students -who have -shown their abilities'- in competition.. -This would not rule out students who did not 'participated' in the Quiz Bowl — rwhen. -the bid from the TV Oollege Bowl comes, selections for the*team will; be made on the basis of individual' merit. Critoph said -clarification of this point- seemed necessary,, since' so many persons have assumed that the ■ teams • participating in the final match of the campus -Quiz ______=<■___ 1 __. _-\n of i.txi t _—___• _>.c**w __. most every department of the University. "They are hot offering selling jobs," Godfrey states, "but "opportunities for eventual top notch jobs in management. Just recently we've had men here from Ivey's department store chain, General Electric's , new plant in Daytona Beach, the Francis I. duPont and Co., New York stockbrokers, Proctor & Gamble, ' Penney's, Prudential and Aetna Life Insurance companies, Southern Bell Telephone - and, of. course,* all branches of the U.S. government." Godfrey, assisted by Mrs. Harry Stoudemire, at the, moment is winding up an academic year, filled with requests from business men who have come to realize that a man or woman with a liberal arts background;, like those being graduated at-Stetson,\ is one who has learned to look at life-with an open mind and .is ready to devote his or her energies tp the most demanding tasks. • Teachers from Florida, receiving Stetson grants are: 'John L..

The election was only one porticn of a whole slate of offices and positions up for' approval by the student body. Students voted for 'all,SGA offices,, senators, •representatives of the individual classes and schools on campus and the Student Union Board. Runoffs will take place in elections where a majority is'lacking. ' --,■.■ Late Tuesday night Jay Landers was an elated man when. he discovered he was successful in his bid,for, SGA president. When inr terviewed that night, Jay had far more to say than just expressing happiness over being elected. He outlined the policy he wishes to follow in the coming year of his office. , The most impcrt.Pt task he faces, Jay said, is changing the concept of the Student Senate. Part of this task, he said, is to alter the impression students have of this body. Jay wishes*to change" the group into a functioning body - of the Student Government. During the coming year he wants this body to develop into one where tlie students will express, through their elected Senators, their opinions ■ and reactions on. all .aspects of campus life. The.hard part,, though, 3ie -addedr'-was" changing the*indi- yidual student's concept. ;- Jay went on*to. say'"this"will be the functioning body of SGA, and there will be less emphasis on the committees in the future. They will still be maintained, cf course. Jay said ' that students should support their senators and use them as their route of communica- . tion to get their wishes Mo action , in Stetson's. student government. Two tasks which face him include changing the mechanism necessary for making the Senate a better functioning organization, and setting up an initial mechanism for - a check' cashing service with the town merchants. When asked about the first point, 'concerning a Constitutional revision, Jay commented he didn't know ifx this was necessary yet. At the conclusion of the interview^ Jay .said that he plans to ' send out to all members of the • student body a list of the areas included in student government with its objective participation by al students in their school 'government. . The list will ask students which area they wish to work in. Jay also added he, would like to see tlie REPORTER in the future print copies of the entire bills up for consideration before the Senate. :He, also.said:li,e wants to put out a Student - Government bulletin so that all these bills will be seen by tlie students.-He said there is a need for better communication between student government and the individual students. The other election news includes many run-offs to be held in the immediate future.' There will be a., runoff between Butch Spivey and Doug Suoher fcr SGA Vice President. There will' also be one for Secretary . between Eileen Lip- ,. -birott and .Patti Paulk. .Another ,-. run off' wil' be between Alan' , Dickey and Neil Savage for Treasurer of SGA. ' -- In the.
