The tradi- tional torch was lit by last year's Greek Goddess,- Kay Ballou, Alpha Xi, and Greek God, Bill Gardner,-Pi Kapp, to officially open the festivities of the week. Then each fraternity and sorority sang their favorite songs. All the candidates for this' year's god and goddess were introduced at the Sing. All the sororities rolled out, their red carpets for an Open House for all the Greeks over in the Panhellenic Building. Voting for the Greek God and Goddess was done as each Greek entered or left the building. ■ TONIGHT ' Tonight Elizabeth Hall will be turned into a Greek Temple, with all the fraternities and sororities teaming up their wits" with some hillarous skits. The Delta Sigs and the Pi Phis, the Lambda Chis and the Zetas, the Pikes and the Tri- delts, the Pi Kapps and the Phi Mus, the Sigma Nu and Alpha Xi, and the Sig Eps arid the Alpha Chis will all be out to win the shinning trophy being offered this year.

The Jay Notes will •come forth with some noise tomorrow night at the Snake House. SIG EP A new Sambo will be on display during Greek Week at the, Sig Ep house, thanks to the Pike pledges.

Last week, the pledges elected their leaders for the semester. They are: Pres. Jay Wiegand, Veep Randy Lyle, Sec. Droopy Taylor, Social Chair. Dave Casey, and Guard, Dave Quarrier. SORORITIES Mixed company seems to be the procedure for all the Greek Week events. Thus most of the sorority activities are combined with the fraternities this week. The 'girls play an important part in Greek Week, in that,they are responsible, for decorations and Open Houses. ALPHA XI The Fuzzies sang their traditional "Alpha Xi Girl" at'the Greek sing last night, with a solo' by Cathy Clark.-The Alpha Xis are going for 100 per cent participation (Continued on Page Two) Original Play Hover Slates The next Stover Theater production, "A Long Way From Home" by Dr. Gerald E. Critoph, deals with a theme quite common to college students. The central character is struggling to establish what he thinks is the personality he wants. He sees ranged against him all the. forces of contemporary society, especially his father, his college, and his religion. The action takes place in the living room of an English professor and his wife. This couple, in their early forties, open their, house once a week for free-wheeling discussions about literature, art, and the social problems that confront the students of the college. While the size and personality of the group that gathers on these evenings vary, three male students and four women students comprise the group seen in the play. The central character's father rounds out the cast. NAT IS JUNIOR Nat, a college junior in his early twenties, is the son of a minister, a man Whose prominence in the state constantly puts Nat's behavior under special scrutiny from, college administrators and the press. He fights to prove .that he is more, than a famous clergy-' man's son, and as-a result is continually in.trouble:'His-father" is about -fifty and feels -that he' is on the' brink "of national -eminence. Therefore, he resents what he considers his son's outrageous escapades. .Professor Morse has tried to guide Nat so as to exploit the young man's embryonic talents as a writer, but the administration is becoming impatient - with Nat and is not too happy with the professor for his attempts to bail out what seems to be an incorrigible troublemaker." . i TWO SENIORS Arnold and Sam have been Nat's friends since he started college. They are one year ahead of him as seniors, because he spent a year in suspension. Arnold is a serious-minded student with good prospects of becoming a scholar, while Sam is the campus clown with the talent for getting himself and those around him into difficulties for what he says. Holly is the campus queen as well as the daughter of one of the wealthiest men in the state. She and Arnold are planning to get married after they graduate, despite her father's intention to have her marry someone as rich as he.. Carol has a-sharp tongue, somewhat prone to sarcasm. She enjoys the sessions at Professor Morse's house, because it gives her a chance to sound off on her pet • gripes and to needle Sam whom she tends to like. QUIET COED - Louise, a quiet studious ■ coed, has been trying to convince Nat that life is not all one long defiance of the older generation. She finds that Ginny, a not-so- quiet coed, has gained the edge for Nat's attention. Ginny's, at- (Continued on Page Two) Art Contest Is Presented . .An art contest for college women- is being .sponsored" by Mademoiselle Magazine.

Richard Baldwin, assistant vice president of Cargill •Inc., writing in a recent issue of the Stetson-Letter. Baldwin received his undergraduate degree. from Stetson University in 1940. Our nation is suffering from its inability to know what is being published, and from the, lack of proper means for storing, indexing, and retrieving the, proper information when it is needed, Baldwin declares. The problem is compounded by the fact that one-third of the world's published information today is coming out of Russia, China, and' Japan, most of it .untranslated. The increase- in information means the student of today has considerably more to learn than scholars of yesteryear, Baldwin says. . , , _"hrpughout the world there are now some 52,000 periodicals and journals contributing p total of 1.2 million articles. each year to our science and technology knowledge, according to Baldwin. Add to this 60,000.new book titles, and millions of miscellaneous reports, theses,- patents, and-other printed materials. At' Cargill, Baldwin himself has added to the store,, of significant chemical and agricultural research information. He is also the current national president of the American Oil' Chemists Society.'

Mortar Board Salutes?-- This column has been instigated by the Stetson chapter of Mortar Board in order to recognize those people who have made significant contributions to the University community. Such a contribution has been made by Dr. "William E. Taylor, associate professor of English, whose, two-act play, "Colonel Phillips," begins a three- day run at Stover Theatre tonight. Patterned afte- Sophocles' "Philo- ctetes," a drama dealing with the desolation following the Trojan War, "Colonel Phillips" portrays the. aftermath of World. War III, a nuclear- holocaust which undermines accepted social values. The play is, primarily, . a "protest play" against total war, but it reaches a higher level of signi- figance in its emphasis on the individual's concern for, his fellows. Dr. Taylor is no newcomer to the: realm of ■ creative writing. Since 1957, he has been co-editor of "Impetus," a "little magazine" of poetry, and at the present time is assisting Richard Langford, in editing a book of essays on American'literature. In I960, he published "Man in the Wind," a volume of his. own poetry. It is for these reasons that we honor Dr. Taylor on-the'eve of the first presentation of his play. Both as teacher and ■ participant, hev shows the vitality and pertenence of literature. '-.''-' GPA Seminar Is Presented Stetson University's' semi-annual Seminar for CPA candidates was held on the DeLand campus Thursday, .Friday, and Saturday (Nov. 1-3) this week.'. The seminar is directed by Dr. D. M. Beight, OPA and chairman of Stetson's accounting department.' Material found on professional examinations was covered, except business law. ; , • The continued high demand for young CPA's and -the high salaries they, are able to demand for their services have combined, to make this seminar Very popular, according to' Beights.' Stetson University's - School of Business Administration is the only school in the • state offering advanced professional training for CPA candidates. A normal class of 30 will usually attract men from 8 to 10 colleges and universities, although the greatest number -are graduates of the University of Florida, Florida State University, and Miami University in - that order. - Statistics indicate that from 75 to 80 percent of those attending these advanced Stetson courses go on .to obtain their OPA certificates as compared to about 25 percent of. those .taking the examinations throughout the" country. ■ ■■(' ' "."7 \jreek Week L^aiendc ar ."WEDNESDAY:-—"*-* "* '" ■ ---•- ~ ~- - • 8 p.m. .

I Program Includes Sin| Skit, Picnic, Dance By ART SKIBBE Wednesday night, in the flickering glow of flaming torches, approximately 600 Greeks melodically ushered in Stetson's annual Greek Week. The week really started at 6 p,m._Wednesday_.as_the__. members of the Inter Fraternity Council and the Pan- : hellenic Council met for a banquet in the upstairs of the 'Union Building. " ' At 8 p. m, the week was officially opened with the annual fraternity and sorority sing held in front of the Student Union Building. The songs rendered ran the gaumlet from the sentimental variety to those which we here at Stetson might consider "racy". OPEN HOUSE The sing was followed by sorority open houses in the Panhellenic building. There Greeks danced, conversed and cast- ballots for the Greek God and Goddess, mythical rulers of the Greek system for the next year. Those in the running for Greek God are Oscar Juarez, Lambda Chi Alpha, Richard Reiff, Pi Kappa Phi, Ron Allison, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Doug Sucher, Sigma Nu, Tony Wood, Delta Sigma Phi, and Mel Rodelli,-Pi Kappa Alpha.

SOCCER GAME Stetson will play Florida Southern in Soccer at 3 p. m. Also, the various chariots 'built by the fraternities will be judged for beauty and a trophy will be presented to the winner. The chariot race, which yearly matches any held by Ceasar, Spartacus or Schwartz, will be held during the half time- of the game. This year the chariots will be pulled by two huskies ' from each fraternity. PILGRIMAGE The week will end with a bang Saturday night as. Greeks and dates make a pilgrimage to the Mayfair Inn in Sanford for a semi- formal dance featuring the Del Vikings. The new sorority pledges will be presented to the Greeks around 9:30 p.m.; and the Greek God and Goddess for the next year will be crowned. / ' ' Although not an official part of the week, the Sunday'- morning ritual, consisting of corn plasters for the feet and ice packs for aching heads, will probably be observed again this year by many of the Greeks as they prepare to catch up on the , thousand odd pages of home work which they somehow overlooked.
