C. Dr. Ruth Smith, Stetson professor of education, nominated Miss Greenlaw for the honor, arid she has just received notification that her former student, now, a fourth grade teacher in ■ Fort Lauderdale, has been selected. Miss Greenlaw will join the other young teachers in appearing at a "What It Takes To' Teach" conference- sponsored jointly by the NEA and the Magazine Publishers Assn. in New York City. The NEA chose' Miss Greenlaw and the other winners out of 150 finalists from all 50 states. She had a high scholarship'record at Stetson, acording to Dr. Smith, and is doing a really outstanding teaching job. The New York conference will Introduce the young teachers to magazine writers and educators as examples of model teachers who have been graduated from forward looking teacher education programs, according to Charles M. King of the Florida Education Association, Tallahassee. Criteria for those selected by the Nea were teachers who are "personable , enthusiastic, and articulate in teaching and in preparation of teaching." Miss Greenlaw's designation as a teacher of this caliber is a tribute both to her talents, and to Stetson's teacher education program, Dr. Smith said. A consistent Honor Roll' student, Miss Greenlaw had an exceptional college record. As a Stetson Junior Aide —. a junior year volunteer student teacher- she' got her first teaching experience from Miss Gretchen Friese, sixth grade teacher in DeLeon Springs. She now teaches at Hortt Elementary School, in Broward County. ■ Last fall, at a • professional standards conference when Miss Greenlaw was on a panel-of. first-year teachers, ■ the college professors there - commented on her unusual poise and personality as well as her forthrightness in discussing her teacher education program, Dr. Smith said. "During her years at Stetson, Jean showed a healthy, happy personality with an infectious enthusiasm," said Dr. Smith. "She made a high score on the- graduate record examination and "has already started on her master's' degree. As a teacher, she has shown exceptional insight and understanding of the nature and needs of her students, along with an ability to kindle interest and enthusiasm for learning."

University and • the Sigma. Nu "Holding Corp. reportedly have'agreed on conveyance of property the holding corporation owns- on the university's campus. A spokesman said today that the' corporation's ".stockholders and. the university's trustees would have to-be advised of the terms reached by negotiating officials regarding sale to the university of property on which the Sigma' Nu fraternity house is located. The university wants the property, so it can petition the City of DeLand to close parts of E. Minnesota and N. Hayden Aves. Stetson officials say it is necessary for the streets to be closed so a $2 million' space-science center can be constructed on the campus. The ' holding corporation objected to the university's request when it was officially made at a city commission meeting last month on grounds that to do away with the', streets would violate the organization's property rights. City officials, advised the uni-' versity and the holding corporation to negotiate over the prpp- erty and set a date, for a public' hearing regarding the closing, of the streets. *.', Officials of the university arid the holding corporation requested that the-public hearing, held Dec. 2, be continued until Dec 16.' Both sides .said agreement over the ■ property ■ was "very close.','- ■- The university probably will present it's request'again next Monday night at the, regular meeting, of:the city commission., It'll ask' the city to take action which, would -close the ■ streets once construction is ready to begin on the - science .center.

By JOHN PICKERING THE' NOTORIOUS""" "LAND"-'" LADY is a comedy-mystery starring JackLemmon, Kim Novak, and Fred Astaire. As a mystery it fails, but as a comedy it proves lively and full of good entertainment. The film begins on a sunny day in London: a shot is fired, a- body is seen being dragged into a" house and a car tears away in escape. Next we see'. Bill Gridley (Jack Lemmori) answering a flat-for-rent ad. Bill is a U. S. State Department official who is up from the sand lots of Saudi Arabia and now is in the big league of the'American Embassy in London. His landlady, Mrs. Carlye Hard- wicke (Kim Novak), is an American who owns the stately London town house. Mrs. Hardwickc proves to be an odd sort for she will not account for the presence of her missing husband and plays the * organ at midnight. Next day at Scotland Yard, Bill finds out that Carlye is suspected of killing her husband. Bill rcfuscsc to believe this, but his embassy boss Franklyn Arm- buster (Fred Astaire) insists that he snoop on the "notorious landlady" anyway. The rest of the film gets about as complicated as the London fog, and ' ends with Lemmon's chasing an' old lady in a wheelchair which is hurtling wildly down-hill toward the sea. The film is full of sharp, crisp dialogue; keen direction, and fine performances by Lemmon and Astaire with Miss Novak prove easy to look at but difficult to believe. 1 'Wfi i, I W 'I ■ .CONCERT SOLOISTS — Katherine Menefee, flutist, and William O.
