By OTTO ALLEN University officials are "hard put" to make an accurate estimate of enrollment next fall. Several factors are making the estimate difficult to figure. About 600, or roughly 30 per cent, of those now enrolled at Stetson are attending under National Defense Education Act loans adminfstered by the University. NDEA funds were discontinued with the passage of the Higher Education Act last year. The Johnson administration intended funds formerly available from NDEA to be replaced by a program administered by the state using private banking institutions as the source of student loans. Under the act passed last year, the federal government would guarantee the loans ahd pay interest charges on each loan until the student graduated from college. PROBLEMS CITED "The replacement program isn't.working in Florida for two reasons," said Ken Phillips, Stetson's director of student loans. "A program will not be ready for implementation by the state until 1967, and Florida banks have not indicated the amount of money available for student loans will anywhere near replace the amount now being distributed. under the NDEA program." Stetson students will not have NDEA loans next.year. As the state government has no program started to administer loans through commercial financial institutions, Stetson will have to look elsewhere for a loan source to replace the 30 per cent now being provided for under NDEA. Phillips and Gary Meadows, director of admissions, said a likely alternate plan will be to invest about $25,000 accumulated in the University scholarship aid fund in the United Student Aid Fund, another program recently instigated through private commercial financial institutions. Under the plan, for every dollar the University puts into the scholarship fund, the institutions will provide $12 for the purpose of making loans to students. "Although this alternate plan will probably cover us next year, it will definitely put a crimp in other proposed plans here," Meadows said. "We'll be in real trouble by the following year, if loans are not available from some other source. We would have preferred to continue under the NDEA program because we administered the loans here and could get the funds to students who could best utilize the loans." 20 DELANDITES About $150,000 in NDEA, or like, funds had already been earmarked for the use of incoming freshmen next fall. Of this, an estimated 20 DeLand students would be involved. Bethune-Cookman College in Daytona Beach will face an immediate student recruitment crisis due to the lack of NDEA funds. According to James Huger, business manager, about 80 per cent of the B-CC students are using NDEA loans this year, Ronald Taylor, student financial assistance director at the oast coast school, said 255 students live in West Volusia. "This situation definitely presents a crisis to us and other colleges in Florida," he said. "We did not understand NDEA funds would be takens away under the new Higher Education Act, and I'm sure other college administrators didn't realize this either. For that matter, our Congressmen and Senators were not aware of the situation it would put us in because they have publicly stated recently they will fight to repeal the Act during this session of Congress. It looks to me like that's our only hope at the present time. We could never arrange for loans to replace NDEA loans on such short notice." The Viet Nam situation also contributes to the uncertainty. Meadows said: "We received unofficial notice last week local draft boards may return to a system used during the Korean War. Under that system, the lower half of the frpshman class, measured academically, would be subject to a college exemption in order to remain in school. It would affect thc lower third of the sophomores and the lower one quarter of the juniors and seniors. Even if he passes the examination, each student must show he is making satisfactory progress toward earning a degree. "We don't expect this system would make much difference at Stetson. The student not able to pass the examination would probably also be unable to keep up with his studios. But,a smull percentage of students would no doubt enlist under these circumstances." The new GI Bill is expected to dump about 250.000 students on the nation's college campuses next fall, according to an Associated Press release made earlier this week. Meadows said the ex-servicemen aren't expected to appreciably swell Stetson's enrollment. "They will be getting a Hat amount to attend the university of their choice," he said. "It is likely they would attend a state- supported school because their money would go farther toward paying tuition, books, lodging and other expenses." The major problem facing Stetson ;md other private colleges in thc area for next fall appears to be ways in which to supplement financial aid and loans to students now under NDEA.

(See Story—-Page 3) By TED WOHLFARTH Professor Eric C. Rust struck away some old but unfounded' concepts of religion and its relation to science in his dinner speech before the faculty and Religious Life Council Monday evening in the Stetson Room. Rust said that the church of today must catch up with society. The church must not let the state take over the clergy's work in such things as civil rights, he declared. Dr. Rust, the guest speaker for Religious Focus Week, was born in Gravesend, England, and has attended the Royal College of Science, London University; Regents Park College, St. Catherine's Oxford University, Oxford University, " and University of Riclimond, Virginia. In his introduction of Rust, President Edmunds remarked, tongue- in cheek, that Rust could never be elected president of *he Southern Baptist Convention. Rust verified the President's statement by showing complete disrespect for the traditional basis of theological reasoning which he believes has been debased by modern science. What will they say when science creates a living cell as it is predicted will happen within ten years? Rust asked this question to show that the church lias tried to fill the gaps of the unknown with God, but science lias plugged the gaps up. Likewise, questions about the prehistoric development of man and the formation of the universe are no longer the mysteries they once were. Before God can be accepted or oven, considered, Rust said, old concepts of Him as "up in the sky" must be dropped for an understanding of Him as he is. Christianity needs to be rethought. Naturalists would have people believe that everything in the Howard Snyder Makes Final Plea For Candidates An extremely poor turnout of publications candidates has been announced by Howard Snyder, chairman of the Publications Board. As of press time, there have been no applicants for the editorships of the literary magazine or the student handbook. One application was received for the editorship of the yearbook, but it was not passed. "This is a deplorable situation," Snyder stated. "I urge all those people who have an interest in publications and the necessary experience to come forth and submit applications to the board. We cannot hope to upgrade our publications if so little student interest is shown." Deadline for submitting applications is Monday, March 7. Applications may be obtained from board secretary'Nancy Hodges, Box 617. They must be returned by Monday to either Nancy or Howard. Positions open are editor and business manager of The Hatter, editor and business manager of The Reporter, editor of The Review, and editor of The Compass. Four applications were approved by the Publications Board Tuesday night. Vining Begelow, presently business manager of the yearbook, v will be running for re-election to that post. Rick Badgley, chairman of the SUB social committee, will vie for the position of Reporter business manager. A second candidate for that office is John LeLand, treasurer of the SUB. Fred York, who edited The Reporter during the Winter Term and who.is now serving as news editor, will be a candidate for the editorship of The Reporter. Members of the board joined chairman Snyder in urging student interest and participation in the elections.

Mortar Board and ODK are sponsoring the event, and all students are invited to attend. world can be explained by the scientific method, but this leaves only a limited point of view and has not given a full answer. First science tends to look at the parts of the" whole, rather than the whole thing itself. It is not interested in synthesis, only analysis. ' Man on ihe other hand, is aware of the whole which creates the curiosity to look at the parts. "Man is losing his value as a person because there is such specialization. The whole is more than its parts; a man is not viewed as a composite of physical organisms. A man is known by the entire impression and feeling that he creates.

'Jefferson Today' Dumas Malone, nationally known authority on Thomas Jefferson, will inaugurate a statewide speaking and pleasure tour of Florida with an appearance today at the University. Dr. Malone's visit to Stetson is sponsored by Associated Mid- Florida Colleges and the Ford Graduate Committee. He will conduct a seminar for members of. Stetson's Ford Garduate program at 3:30 p.m. At 5:45 p.m., he will be guest at a dinner in the Stetson Union Building with Richard B. Morland, director of the Ford Graduate Program, as host. IN STETSON ROOM Dr. Malone wall speak before students and the public on "Jefferson Today" in the Stetson Room at 7 p.m. There is no admission charge. He will be introduced by Dr. Evans C. Johnson, University history professor, who made arrangements for the Florida tour as chairman of the. Visiting Scholars Committee of the Mid-Florida Colleges. '. Dr. Malone is now Thomas Jefferson biographer-in-residence at the University of Virginia where he formerly taught. He has also taught at Yale University and Columbia University. Considered by many scholars to be the number, one biographer in the nation today, Dr. Malone is best known for his projected five volume biography of Thomas Jefferson, of which three volumes have already been published. His two volume textbook, "Empire for Liberty," written in collaboration with Basil Bauoh, is one of the most widely used college texts. HARVARD DIRECTOR ,,Among professional historians, Dr. Malone is noted for his work as editor-in-chief of the "Diction-, ary of American Biography," the standard biographical work on deceased Americans. He has served as director of the Harvard University Press from 1936 to 1943, as editor of "The Political Science Quarterly" from 1953 to 1958, and on the editorial boards of the "American Historical Review" and the "American Scholar." The latter is the publication of Phi Beta Kappa of which he is a member. Associated Mid-Florida Colleges is headed by Paul C. Parker of DeLand. It is composed of Bethune-Cookman, Stetson, Rollins, Florida Presbyterian, and Florida Southern, and appearances for Dr. Malone have been arranged on all these campus- ety has lost the meaning of life. This is reflected by modem literature which shows.man groping to find the meaning which has been lost. Rust pointed out that today there are more suicides, more tranquilizers, and than ever before. He beUevs more psychiatrists kept busy than ever before. He believes that the root of the problem lies DeLand To Cook Boston Pancakes All Day Saturday Stetson students may eat aU the pancakes they please for 50 cents, on Saturday, March 5, and at the same time help an elementary school student make the DeLand School Safety Patrol trip to Washington, D.C. The annual event is sponsored by the parents of Patrol members in all the DeLand elementary schools, and is under the direction this year of Mrs. John E. Johns, whose son is one of the Patrol members at Boston Avenue School. From 8 a.m. Saturday morning to 7 p.m. that evening, the pancakes will be served in the cafeteria at Boston Avenue School. Stetson students, by showing their identification cards — are entitled to the student price of 50 cents — which permits the student to eat all the pancakes he desires. In addition to pancakes, sausage, orange juice, milk or coffee is served. All proceeds from the annual Pancake Day go toward sending the "local school Patrols to the annual School Patrol assembly, which brings the young people together in Washington each April. The Patrol at each school, mans the street, crossings each morning and afternoon, providing protection for the elementary school children. Other than this once-a-year trip, Patrolmen receive nothing in exchange for their school year service to their fellow-students. Boston Avenue School is located two blocks from the Stetson campus, on the corner of Boston Avenue and Michigan Avenue. BULLETIN Samuel Flagg Bemls, the Dean of American Diplomatic Historians, will visit his close friend, Stetson History Professor Dr. Gilbert Lycan, and other faculty members this afternoon in the faculty lounge. Dr. Bemls edited a ten volume work on the American Secretaries of State and their diplomacy and is author of the foremost text in American Diplomacy. He is the only Yale professor to win two Pulitzer Prizes. in education; teachers must show the meaning in life which people found in the past. Thirdly, Rust emphasized that the universe must be viewed sa- cramentaJly: "God Is behind everything." Issac Newton, .the "greatest" scientist ever known, thought that he was thinking "God's thoughts." Rust believes that the universe points beyond itself and that experimentation bears tills out. He points out that great clues have come in flashes not by methodical induction or deduction; the revelation is an intuitive grasp of the, whole. If students had a concept of a sacri- ' mental universe then there would be no cause to worry about the "gaps" which are filled by science. After the speech Professor Cardin of the history department candidly summed up Rust's delivery by saying that Rust expressed clearly and forcefully what many people think in th« back of their minds. SG Receives Cancel Notice On March 5 Folic Concert The Student Government regrets to announce that the concert scheduled for Saturday, March 5,. has been cancelled by a sudden action on the part of the performers. S A telegram > received by tha concert committee on Monday, February 28, stated that "Simon and Garfunkel will be unable to appear in DeLand on March 5 because of routing difficulties." The group was first contacted approximately two months ago. The contract was signed by the concert chairman at the end of January and returned along with a thousand dollar- deposit to tha William Morris Agency, so that the contract could be countersigned by Simon and Garfunkel's agent. Despite a letter and two telephone calls requesting that tha countersigned contract plus other necessary material such as stags specifications and publicity ba sent immediately, it was not. The concert committee of student government sincerely regrets that the performance was .cancelled by the agency. Tha committee is presently endeavoring to arrange some other event for this spring. Those people who purchased tickets for the Simon and Garfunkel concert should bring their tickets to room 206 in the SUB between 10 a.m. and 12 noon tomorrow, and their money will, will be refunded at that time.
