The internship program at Stetson is the final step in the professional preparation of these teachers,, and at Stetson it-maintains a reputation as being one 'of trie finest available., . The internship, program enables college seniors to engage in teaching-in-real situations in the accredited pdblic schools of Florida. Each Stetson student planning to enter teaching as a career is assigned to-work in a public school under the direction of a teacher who has demonstrated superior techniques and who has been selected by the administrative and supervisory staff of the county as outstanding among, the members of the total staff. - 'STUDENTS ASSIGNED - * . The Stetson students, are assigned .schools in communities of their choice — often in areas where they plan to apply for a position as a regular staff rriember after graduation • from the , University. Each intern spends 10 weeks — all day every day .that school .is in session — working with the outstanding teacher he is assigned to. ; -The primary aim- of the internship is to enable Stetson ■ seniors to learn the total' design of the responsibilities of the professional educator of today. They engage in observing routines'of. the school, helping the regular teacher -to .work with individuals and groups in the • classroom, -and then in actual. instruction - and control' of students.in the r^al classroom situation. -•' , ■■'■.- '•' ,3 WEEKS ■ ■' For three weeks at the beginning . of the internship semester, Stetson University provides' seminars in the problems and the curriculum of,the-schools. After" becoming thoroughly familiar with the - aims and • responsibilities, of the classroom teacher, the interns actually .move into the community of the school in which they are to do their internship and for 10 weeks become • citizens of the community, a part' of-the teaching staff of the -school,, and active'participants in the;activities"of the professional'education organization. Upon completion of the internship, the interns- return to Stetson's DeLand campus for.'three more weeks of seminars in which" they evaluate their efforts — both successful and otherwise. This is the culminating moment in the preparation of teachers in which they can begin to' assume the role that is to'be theirs for the'rest of, their careers in professional education. They re-examine , professional ethics, methods of instruction, and problems- in student- evaluation, and generally relate the theoretical to the real just before they are graduated.' UPON GRADUATION Upon graduation these seniors may apply for a certificate to teach, in the schools of- Florida — and "because Stetson is accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education, they may be certified in 29 states having such accreditations standards. Only five institutions in Florida have NCATE accreditation: Stetson University, the University of Florida, Florida State University, the University of Miami, and Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University. The internship program at Stetson University is staffed by professors who hold doctorate degrees, are active in state, regional and national affairs of The Association for Student Teaching, and have had successful teaching experiences in. the public schools. In, addition to the regular'textual materials for the internship, -handbooks and other materials are produced by the internship staff for use in the college classroom as well as the public school class: room., *-,,'..'', Stetson University produces teachers in almost -all the major subjects and grade levels for the puiblic schools. The, constant ■ demand, for these prepared teachers is so strong that the Stetson seniors are hired for their subsequent teaching positions even before they complete their "final semester of studies. Staff Meet Resumes There will be a meeting of, all Stetson REPORTER staff members and-anyone else interested in writing for the paper this afternoon at 2:30 p. m. in room! 206 of the'S. U.'B..' *. ■ !' : Dr. Nolen Offers Predictions Orchestra Adds To Annual Event "Stetson University's holiday season event always widely attended'by music lovers from'all over the,state, the, Christmas, presentation of the University Concert Choir and the Orchestra, will this-year again be Handel's famed Messiah.. . , - * The oratorio, conducted by Prof. Harold M. Giffin and featuring the 60-voice Choir and i - - - . - the 40-member Orchestra, will be performed twice on Stetson's De- Land campus, Friday, Dec. 14,- at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 16, at 3 p.m. - , Both presentations are open to the public and there-is no charge for admission. On Tuesday,- Dec. 'l_,' the Messiah will be presented at' the Peabody Auditorium in Daytona Beach at 7:30 p.m. under the auspices of the Daytona Beach Tourist Cluh. 27th PRODUCTION ~ The 1962 presentation of the Messiah is the 27th under the direction of Giffin who is chairman of Stetson's voice department and a graduate of Denison University and the Eastman School of Music. . . . . The Stetson event has. been a tradition at Stetson since 1905, and was presented for 26 consecutive years by' Giffin." Now the Messiah is presented every other year, alternating with "Bach's Christmas Oratorio. . SOLOISTS CHOSEN Stetson student soloists for each performance will be chosen from members of the Concert Choir. . The full Messiah requires two and a half hours, but the Stetson- version has been edited to about two hours. "There are three parts. The first .contains, the prophecy, of the' coming of the Messiah. The second is the sufferings and death of Christ, and the final section deals with the Resurrection. Recent highlights of Stetson Concert Choir tours' include, appearances throughout the Southland and at many annual Florida State Baptist Conventions. ' The Choir has produced several operettas in DeLand and Daytona Beach and has -appeared with orchestras under the batons of Dr. Howard Hanson, Dr. Wayne Barlow, Dr. Claude Almand, Gail Ku- bik, and with the Florida Symphony in Orlando under Henry Mazur. - - ' - " The Messiah oratorio has been described as "Sublime in concept, unfaltering in its eloquence, and man's most grandiose conception. Only an inspired man could have produced it at all, let alone in the incredibly short period of 24 days." HANDEL SAID: It has been said that when Handel completed the* ."Hallelujah Chorus,".he said to a-house servant "I think I did see all Heaven before , me, and the ' great God himself." ' : In the first London performance of the Messiah — March 23, 1743 — those present included King George II. It is said that he was so awed by the "Hallelujah Chorus" that he rose in his seat and stood during the entire section. The audience, seeing the King rise, had to rise too and remain standing as long as- their monarch did. What began as^ a spontaneous gesture has become a tradition around the world. Messersmith Receives Art Award 'The chairman of*:*.Stetson —University's art • department,- Fred Messersmith, ; has been ■ awarded this year's "Governor's' Award for. the Outstanding Florida Scene." , A walnut plaque with an,'outline of the state' of Florida in polished brass was' presented . to Messersmith in Lakeland by, G. Evans, assistant.to Gov. - Farris Bryant. The award . was for . Messer- smith's watercolor painting entitled "Tracks." When the .presentation was made at the 35th'-an- nual Florida Federation of Arts convention, Evans "said the plan was to hang the watercolor in Gov. Bryant's office. - The Governor's Award is an annual presentation. This year's jury was composed of Lamar Dodd, art director, University of Georgia; Edward Shorter, director, Columbus' Art ' Museum, Columbus Art Museum; Columbus,- Ga., and Joseph Jeffers Dodge, director, Cummer Gallery, Jacksonville. Dr. R. M.- Nolen, Stetson University professor of business administration who spoke before the Illinois Bank Management Conference in Champaign, 111., made the following predictions in his- prepared remarks: 1. Business in 1962 reached an all-time high in the U. S.,.but it was a disappointing year be-" cause we expected a boom. There are* few indicators that point to a recession in 1963. . ■Business next year will • likely be spotted, both by industries and geographically. Some industries will be down and some areas of. the U. ,S. will be down. But there is, at the present moment, nothing seriously out of balance in our economy that should cause a serious ■ reccession. There .are few forces that will give us a strong- upward'-* push." Competition ' - "will force, some prices lower, and the consumer should have better purchasing power in 1963. UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM 2. Unemployment will likely remain a serious problem in our economy; with authomation pushing ahead,, there is less demand for-untrained and unskilled labor, and we have not taken the necessary steps to train many of our young people for a highly indus- trailized economy. We are not likely to have an upward business movement suf-. ficient to reduce unemployment below the 3.5 million (5.8 percent* of the labor force) now unemployed, and with automation we may have 6 per cent to 7 per cent unemployed in the coming years, even with a rising economy. 3. Psychological . factors have some influence on the U. S. The drop in the stock market caused some, pessimism in 1962, and the recent fall could bring some restraints on the 1963 outlook for inventory,, capital spending, etc.,- but its influence would be shortlived. , 4. Figures do not show a severe "profit squeeze" on most U. S. industries, * and the " profit outlook for.1963 is good. FEDERAL DEFICIT 5. -The Federal deficits should not cause serious inflation and will not cause a stringency in the money market. Credit will probably be easier in 1963 than in 1961 and 1962. ■ 6. Credit is becoming too easy in many lines. The large savings in our financial .institutions may lead lenders to take too much1 risk in order to obtain higher rates. . These are the conditions, that lead to reckless banking. 7. World prices and world interest rates.are coming'closer to equilibrium," and: world - trade is becoming more stabilized,- with competition for markets becoming stronger in the years ahead. We'_ must think ,in terms of costs • and' price to meet world competition. Moore Gives Senior Recital Charles E. Moore,, candidate for the bachelor of music degree at' Stetson University,'Will present his" senior organ recital tomorrow at 8 p. m. in the Elizabeth Hall audi- • torium on the DeLand campus.
