ALLEN.DRURY \ Author Drury Praise U.N. Political novelist Allen Drury visited Stetson yesterday by invitation from the University's Artists and Lecturers Committee. Drury's lecture at 8 p.m. in Elizabeth Hall auditorium was opened to the public after students had been admitted. Author of two best-sellers —* "Advise and Consent," which won him a Pulitzer prize, and "A Shade of Difference" — Drury is an experienced journalist who has covered national politics and the U. S. Senate for 15 years. He has worked for the United Press, Pathfinder magazine, the Washington Evening Star, and the New York Times. Drury chose the United . Nations setting for "A Shade' of Difference" because, he' says, "Nothing in' our times is- more important to the world than the UN." - One .essential purpose -of7this" novel, Drury asserts, is to point out that racial attitudes in, this country. and abroad have" given the U.S. an enormous handicap, bringing it very near to disaster. The novelist is working on two new books, "Capable of Honor," a description of conventions and campaignc, and "Preserve and Protect," concerned with the opening days of a new administration. They will complete a tetralogy featuring the memorable characters from his first book, "Advise and Consent."

In a press conference after the Stetson assembly Monday, Elliott Roosevelt echoed his father, somewhat prosaically, "within the next few months, we will see an internal revolution in Cuba, and I hope we render full support to any counter-revolutionary force — short of an armed attack." Speaking in behalf of his candidacy for Democratic National Committeeman from Florida, Roosevelt noted, "Most people aren't interested in the National Committee. Why should they vote? This is true in Florida'because the post has been an honorary one for many years." Roosevelt pointed out its importance, though, by observing that 15 Florida Democrats had paid the $100 filing fee in order to run against him. UNPAID JOB "The job is unpaid," he explained. The committeeman represents his state by following through at the agency level of the administrative process to be sure that his state isn't cut out of the national budget. "Today, you have to fight to see that you get your fair share," Roosevelt said. The Democratic national committee, he pointed out, is made up of one man and one woman from each state. It is their job to keep the party intact between elections; to raise funds for the election; to select' people for various committees such as rules, platform,.etc.; and to pick [he site and committee for the lational convention.' Asked if he thought the Democratic party could carry Florida , ,n the next presidential election, Roosevelt replied, "In the last .hree presidential elections, Flor- da has" gone Republican . . . There are so many rich Repub- icans who have moved down iere that it is hard to tell if the Democrats will take it." JOHNSON SUPPORTERS I In answer to the question, 'Will you support President Johnson?" Roosevelt said, "I am a. strong supporter of President Johnson. He'll be the first southern president in 100 years, elected on his own." i On the question, "Who will be Johnson's running mate?" Roose- WHICH OF THESE LOVELY STET SON CO-EDS will be crowned "Miss Stetson? Plan to attend the Hatter Holiday events-Wednesday at DeLeon Springs to find out who she will be. Desegregation Studied Stetson University Dean W. Hugh McEniry Jr. will be in San Antonio, Tex., April 12 on business for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools .On April 28, he will be in Nashville, Tenn., as a member of the advisory board of George Peabody College studying desegregation ins higher education in the South. ' * velt speculated, "President Johnson will Jry .to swing the. Middle West and the industrial areas ... Senator Humphrey is the man. who closest fills the bill." Asked, "If the civil rights bill goes through, will, it affect the. support for the GOP in Florida?" Roosevelt replied, "Today, the chances of a civil rights bill passing would be nil if it were supported by only one party." He noted that it was no longer a Democratic • Republican issue. Sticking tongue in cheek, Roosevelt answered the question, "Who is the most formidable GOP candidate?" "In my considered opinion," he said, "the Republicans will choose Nixon in order to insure that they will have a two-time loser." Davidson Chorus Performs Here Stetson hosted the Davidson College Male Chorus from North Carolina on Saturday, April 4. The Chorus of 30 selected voices is singing in four Southern states during its 30th consecutive annual spring tour. It has appeared in principal cities in the East and South, and has presented coast-to-Coast radio broadcasts. The Davidson group was heard in selections from Bortni- ansky, Randall Thompson, Bach, Vaughan-Williams, Schubert, and John Addison. "The ■ Lamplighters," an ostette of blended voices, sang- show tunes, folk songs, western laments, and ballads. • Director of the Chorus is Donald Bryce Plott. • , 'Fine Arts9 Sponsors Musician By ART SKIBBE Philippe Entremont, interna* tionally renowned pianist will appear at Elizabeth Hall this Saturday for a two hour concert. The concert will begin at 8 p.m. Doors will be opened to students with. activity cards at 7:15 p.m., and to the general •public at7:30 p.m. The best seats will be given to students with activity cards, so the'Committee on Artists and Lecturers advises students to arrive before, tickets go 'on- sale to the public at a price of $1.50 per person. Entremont has played at-al- most all the large cities and capitals throughout Europe and the United States in the past 10 years, and cheers and rave notices have followed him throughout his tours. BOSTON RAVES The Boston Herald " has " said this about Entremont: "Philippe Entremont has been called "Le Pianist Atomique" by the press of his native France, and no wonder. At 27, this lanky, slight young man exhibits phenomenal artistic powers. Indeed he strikes me as the most interesting talent of.his generation to be unveiled in this city in many seasons." Commenting on the reaction oi the South's largest city, the Atlanta Constitution said, "So staggering was the performance that the 27 year old French virtuoso became one of the first concert artists in a long time to hold an Atlanta audience in its seats clamoring for more than several minutes after the program had ended." FRENCHMAN Entremont was born in Rheims, France in 1934, and his mother, a Grand Prix pianist, began giving him lessons when- he-was six. He learned of tlie world of chamber and orchestral music through his father, an opera conductor. He continued his musical education under Mme. Marguerite" Long, entered the National Conservatory, and began winning prizes for his accomplished playing. At 16 he became Laureat in the international Long-Thibaud Competition held annually in Paris. At 17 he won a coveted prize at' the competition sponsored by Queen Elizabeth of Belgium in Brussels. TOURING AT 17 At 17 he began touring the world giving concerts, and within five years was acclaimed throughout Europe as a new and major voice ih the field of piano. Almost everywhere he has played he has met with both critical and popular acclaim, with crowds applauding long after he finished. From New York Herald Tribune: "His reading' was powerful and compelling and propulsive. It is no .wonder that. the house went quite wild!"' The Fine Arts Committee feels' that, Stetson is quite fortunate in obtaining the talents of this, young man, and sincerely urges that all students make an effort to attend the concert. • Weekly Calendar ON AND AROUND STETSON .(WEEK OF APRIL 915) Thurs., April 9 Fri., April 10 Tues., April 14 Wed., April 15 Fri.
