..s-. SUPPORT YOUR STETSON HATTER BASKETBALL TEAM PLAN AHEAD PARENTS WEEKEND IN MARCH * it it Florida's Oldest College Newspaper *•• 76th YEAR-NO. 16 DELAND, FLORIDA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1963 PRICE 10 CENTS 'New, Partnership Needed^ Edmunds . A^new partnership,between the state of Florida and its private colleges will be ;proposed to the state legislature, Stetson University, President J., Ollie Edmunds declared in*trie Founders Day address at Rollins College.Monday (Feb. 25.). This celebrated the 78th anniversary of the founding of Rollins. ■ ■','■'. The proposal would allow the State to provide tuition grants- and tution loan funds so that students may choose whether they attend public'or private institutions; Edmunds said. It will be submitted by the ' education ■ committee of the'state'chamber1' of commerce and-.has; the unanimous - endorsement of the Florida Assn. of Colleges "and. Universities.,'• ■■" "It does'not cost any less to attend a public' institution "of learning' than it does to attend a private college," Edmunds declared. ' "It merely'costs the student less." ., DIFFERENCE IS "The. difference between what the student'pays to attend a pubic institution and the actual cost of operating the pubic institution is paid by taxpayers," he added. The new plan will give the state a chance to join with.private institutions in meeting today's un- ■ precedented educational' demands "Excellence in the'educational product can best be achieved under the stimulus provided by^ie.dual thrust of public and privately operated educational institutions, the Stetson "president said. ' " Edmunds said it is ironical that Congress" in Washington' is being asked to appropriate billions for' colleges •'and at the same time to- reduce 'deductions* "allowed"" for amounts individiuals . can volun- , tarily contribute'to colleges' of their choice. The best aid the Federal government can give to private colleges is to make it easier for taxpayers to ■ voluntarily contribute money, not .harder and more expensive, he said. , 7 TAX CREDIT The "tax credit" incentive which ...encourages private investment in privatePenterprise- should now be extended by Congress to. encour-. '* age such-.investmentS7*in" ""private-; —colleges, .the Stetson' president said." -~- .. ' First, ■ taxpayers should receive credit for money paid for tuition to private colleges, then,- this should be extended to include direct contributions which would reduce- the amounts of capital funds needed by the colleges. Edmunds said the "newly Assooia- tioned Mid-Florida Colleges composed of Rollins, Stetson, Florida Southern; and-*Flortla"" Presbyterian, will launch-many new.;coop- erative.' efforts. . * POOL LIBRARY Plans call for possible pooling of library resources, joint use of faculty,, combined lecture and artists series, joint student 'recruitment, and consultation on common educational problems. Private colleges today are in desperate need of better facilities and of better paid teachers, Edmunds said. These colleges, which include' Rollins- and Stetson, can no longer devote so much of their overstrained resources to making futile efforts to educate students .poorly "prepared or those inter- j ested mainly in social advantages, i "Colleges in "the future must, j become,-what they were intended l' to be — places of learning for per- ,., -sons eager to learn and capable i of'learning,"'he,said. I There will be nothing easy about ; the colleges of tomorrow so parents should bear down on the >> .schools that are preparing • stud- ', ents for college. Public school '. teachers will support this crackdown, Edmunds asserted. NO VACATION 7 The days of three months sum- '.taer vacation must become1 a I. thing of the past, he "said — capable-students should be permitted to complete their' formal college • training in less • than 36 months. Colleges must re-tool, their thinking about' faculties,-, utilizing' the services of-older teachers as well 'as the up-to-date-young professors. "In the future more students are going to be taught, by teachers who know from first-hand actual experience what they are talking ■■ about," he predicted.' ' ■ "Liberal arts colleges must ■ champion freedom to hon-oonfor__i- ' ty, freedom to dissent, even freedom to fail," Edmunds said. '- "There must be a .goodly, num- "-ber-of independent ■ centers : of excellence and of freedom, — centers' •like Rollins and Stetson."' HABITS LEFT • Edmunds said ■ many familiar habits will be discarded by, colleges of'the future; new experiments in education are ehalleng- (Continued on Fags Two) , <* S?.__^™:£?*WWS?«5S^:*; Borland s Bids Dr. Richard B. ..Morland, director of the Ford Graduate Program, has recently announced'he is taking applications from sophomores interested in graduate work leading to college teaching., The program through-its' emphasis on proficiency in foreign languages, research techniques, and- experience in practice teaching prepares the student for graduate level work in a shorter length of time than normally required. Through the Ford Graduate Program students .take their MA in the third year after"'entering' the ■program. Stetson is now one of about 30 colleges and universities across the nation ^currently engaged in the program. Part of the . programs'- purpose is to train future teacher^ for the growing number of junior colleges." Through the program students are able to teach n a junior college * after receiving their MA degree. ' The main purpose' of the program, though, "is to' plan the'way for' cotmptetent and able students who desire to teach at the college level. The program is designed so that one of the biggest hurdles ■ to earning the Ph.D. degree in the shortest possible time, the study of foreign- languages, is reduced so .thatT-a-prospeetive-- "candidate for the Ph.D. is' able to "pass his language examinations upon admission to graduate school saving much time in course'study. " Dr. Morland said that there are currently 29 in the program at Stetson. Two new members of the program,'.added this semester, are Delano Arner in English, and Sherwood Hodley in mathematics.

BY BILL DUNIFON Patti Paulk and Butch Spivey, co-chairmen for- .Stetson's -1953 Parent's .Week-end, announced' to- *day that plans are .-rapidly being completed lot" -what -wi_l~prcbably be one of the biggest week-ends on the $tetson campus. Parent's Weekend was initiated in the 'Spring of 1960 here at- Stetson in an . effort to allow the parents of Stetson students to see at first hand the inner-workings of the University Community. Since that time, it has grown in attendance and prestige, so that now,- it is considered one of the' major events of the school year. According to Sandy Christian and Richard Ginn, who head up the Reservations Committee, unprecedented numbers of. parents will invade the DeLand campus March 15-17. As.of the most recent spot check with motel' and hotel owners, about 80 per cent of the city's accomodations have been filed for * the week-end. In addition, the reply; of parents- to Chorus Gives 6King David' The Stetson University 'Chorus gave its' major performance of the year, Friday, Feb. 22, at 8 p. m. • ' The Chorus, under the direction of Paul Langston, presented a 20th century' dramatic oratorio, King David, composed by- Arthur Honegger^in 1924. ' Soloists were: Nancy,Watts of. Sarasota and Page Nordan - of Charlotte, N. C, sopranos; Karen Anderson*'of'Columbus, O., alto; ■'Jim'-Austin of Hartwell, Ga., Bill Alderman,. 245 East 4th St., Jacksonville, and .Grover 'Wilkins of Dallas, Tex., tenors. ■ Narrators were? Mrs. Billye 'Griffiths * of DeLand and Bob McCloskey of Rockledge. 7,' 7 Although Swiss by birth, Honegger belongs to the group designated in France during the 1920's as. "Les Six,'' and is both a prominent and .prolific composer of this group.-His ability- in contemporary writing is exemplified in his use of harmonic dissonance and the simultaneous use. of the extreme registers of both the voices and instruments. ■' 7 - .'. Although the music 'is contemporary, ,many passages revert to a romantic style of writing, while others recall the primitive, ex- ticism of the East. " . The chorus was,featured in the "Song ,of Victory;," "Lament of Giliboa," "Dance "before the Ark,'' "Song of, Ephraim," -and "The Death of David." ' Faculty Recital Is Cancelled The Stetson University Faculty Recital, originally scheduled , for 8 p.*,m., March 1, has been "cancelled. Stover Theater for . reservations to "The Boyfriend" has set a new record. ' ' • Memibers 'of. the; reservatons committee' are quick to add tt>at ■there -are itfll-adequate-aecemGda- tions available in the DeLand area. Students who wish' to make reservations- for -their parents should contact Miss Christian or Mr. Ginn to obtain the names of those hotels or motels which still have room available. The week-end's, activities will begin Friday afternoon and evening with registration, the production of "The Boyfriend,"- and , a concert by the University Chorus. ■ 'Saturday will be highlighted by classroom visitation, coffee hours with faculty and "administrators, dorm and Greek open houses, an address by the President, and a picnic lunch to be held in the Forest of Arden: That evening, "The Boy Friend" will again be presented while the Music School will present a variety, program. In past years, "Stetson President Dr. J. Ollie Edmunds has revealed upcoming plans for future growth and development of the * Universi-" ty during Parent's Week-end. It is expected that this year will be no exception, with the library ahd the new science wing construction the probable subjects of discussion. . . At.^e..same assembly of Parents at which Dr.. Edmunds-will speak, Department Heads," Administrators, ahd Parent's Weekend ' Committee. Chairmen will, be recognized. The" week-end will come to a close Sunday with services in De- Land Churches. 1 It is hoped that ' the schedule (which is seen below) will allow parents the opportunity to observe campus life.. At the same time, it has been planned with an eye toward allowing the . student to spend some time with his family. Faculty members should" be contacted individually, if conferences are desired over the week-end., It is. easy to see that without at least .some previous * arrangements, ' it' will be impossible for any. member of "the faculty or an administrator. to meet- with a student and his parents."If an extremely serous problem is in need of discussion, it is suggested that a time other than Parent's Weekend would be appropriate for such a disoussion with 'faculty or administrators. - 7 ' Due to the large- number of parents on campus for the weekend, many professors, will be .unable to .approximate meeting > all of the parents of their students, let alone hold conferences with them. ■ ',' ■ notice';.' ■:■ The assembly of Monday, March 4 will be a chapel service for those who normally attend this assembly. Attendence will be taken and cuts will be counted as a chapel cut..
