YALE STUDENTS HAVE VOICE Students at Yale University have recently gained a new and unique privilege: helping the administration decide on granting tenure by rating each professor in a yearly vote. President Brewster says that the opinion of the students will not be the only criterion but will be an important consideration if the professor concentrates on teaching rather than publishing. TWINS' EYES & ESP RESEARCH Researchers In Philadelphia have succeeded in demonstrating that perhaps there really Is ESP. They isolated Identical twins in rooms 20 feet apart and showed that, if one twin was made to close his eyes, ihe other would involuntarily do the same.

Sowers last week at a banquet sponsored by Kappa Delta Pi educational fraternity. Dr. Sowers is stepping down from the chairmanship of the department of teacher education, but will continue in his duties as professor of education. Featured speaker was newly- lege, Duval County Schools, and Stetson. A DEDICATION In reply, Dr. Sowers stated, "This is not as much a tribute to me as it is a tribute to the common cause to which we as leaehers dedicate our lives." President J. Ollie Edmunds Introduced Christian and referred to his office as "the most influential and powerful" in the installed State- Superintendentof""state; -Following ? his /remarks Public Instruction Floyd T. Christian, who praised Dr. Sow? ers for his more than 50 years of service to education. Christian traced Dr. Sowers' teaching his- tory from a one-room school house in Iowa to his work with the YMCA, Florida Southern Col- concerning, Dr. Sowers, the new superintendent had several comments on the present educational picture., "The educational, needs of citizens, young and old, will increase. Everyone will need to go to school. And schools are now open to all who wish to SUB Delegation Attends Conference In Atlanta The annual Region VT convention of the Association of College Unions (ACU) was,stagedon the campus of Emory University in Atlanta last weekend. The ACU is an international organization with membership open to every union in the world. Region VI takes its membership from the states of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. There were 18 schools partlci- patirig in the convention; Stetson was represented by a delegation of seven. MACKEY SPEAKS The main "speaker at the convention was Congressman Mac- key, a Georgian democrat, who spoke on the three "C's" of leadership: courage, concern, and conviction. Discussion groups covered a wide range: of topics from the organization and budgets, to bowling alleys and barbershops. In comparison to other unions, Stetson has an average budget but makes above average use of it, A few unions are responsible to their business offices; but most, like Stetson, are responsible to the dean of students. Unlike most schools, however, Stetson is primarily student-run, rather than staff or administration operated. The dominant note of the conversation was a call for better communications between member schools. A resolution calling for the vice-chairman of the region to publish a newsletter received unanimous passage at the last business meeting. AUBURN NEXT Another part of the convention was the election of the new officers. Bob Harper of the University of Florida was elected chairman of the region. On the sixth ballot, Cindy Skelto, of Florida State University, was elected - vice-chairman. Auburn University was chosen as next year's convention site. Stetson Union Board members who attended the convention were Jack Dawson, president; John Tubb, vice-president; John Leland,. treasurer; Bonnie Moffat, education committee chairman; Jerry Jackson, films committee chairman; Barbara Beadle, social committee chairman; and Harry Edwards, faculty adviser..-; .;;■..'. ■'.'-.■ Two resolutions of the Stetson delegation are the establishment of a, barber shop on campus and the publishing of a newsletter for the Florida union. learn and that is as it should be. "One special problem which is dear to Ray Sowers is having a sufficient number of qualified teachers to staff the class • rooms, to Ignite the quest for learning. Our new teachers must not be bound by tradition; they must be willing and eager to explore new ways. There is no room for the teacher who resists chahgerWe need the ihri'6-" vator and the experimenter." SOUTHERN TEACHER Speaking on the role of teachers in society,.. Christian com • mented, "We must support teachers with higher salaries so they may take their rightful place as professional people. We must re-evaluate the role of the teacher in the South." President Edmunds reminisced about his early encounters with Dr. Sowers when the latter was state secretary of the YMCA and; spoke \ at money • raising functions in Jacksonville. "Then one night in 1948 when. I was working late, this YMCA secretary came in to see me. He was then supervisor of schools in Duval County. I asked him why he had left Florida Southern and he said he never had a chance to teach. And so I moved him to Stetson." Several gifts were presented to Dr. and Mrs. Sowers and a reception honoring them and Mr. Christian followed the banquet in the faculty lounge. There will be a meeting of the Reporter staff today, 3:30, R. 203 in the SUB, for story assignments. AU present members and other interested persons should attend.

Omicron Delta Kappa was founded in 1914, and the Stetson Circle was installed May 14. 1953, as a continuation of an older campus leadership society. Names of new members are kept secret until tapping ceremonies. Initiation follows soon thereafter. "It is a distinct honor to the Stetson ODK Circle and to our University to have Mr. James Carmichael visit the, campus to assist in recognition of our junior and senior men who qualify for ODK," Bob Eslinger said. "Mr. Carmichael became a member of ODK while a student at Emory University, and his qualities of leadership have so broadened in the years since that he is recognized throughout the world as one of the leading citizens of Georgia and the United States."

At that time, the names of the new members are to be announced. (Art Work by Messersmith) ByALANLITZ •It is time to start digging up all those old French conversation books which have fallen into a state of desuetude. The next film to be shown in the Film Masterpieces Series is that famous : French hit,; "Les En • fants du Paradis," or in lay language, "Children of Paradise." The premier for this movie, with subtitles, will be tomorrow night, 6:30 p.m., at Stover Theatre. GALLERY GODS By far, one of the most interesting, aspects of this film is the origin of its title. "Paradis" in French means gallery or cheap ' seats.. The : show, was given its name in honor of those people who frequently occupied the loftiest tiers (gallery gods) in the old-fashioned French vaudeville theaters. Filmed in Paris by Pathe Studios, "Les Enfants du Paradis" has a few novel beginnings of its own. Filmed during the German Occupation and finished after the Liberation, the picture consequently- had many rather interesting filming, events. The stages for photographing were such economical retreats as garages, underground laboratories, and Marquis hideaways in southern France. It seems the Gestapo were trying "to put the finger" on several of the big "brass." Even In ,the winter Paris got quite warm. Shooting the banquet scenes proved harder than getting the food.-It was impossible to keep the extras separated from the food. One of the two was giving out long before the other one had his appetite sufficed. With a little cutting here and a little cutting there, the problem was immensely remedied. At times the plot of the picture is an infinite complication; at other times, it could be considered hopeless mayhem. Directed by Marcel Carne, who is known for his superb job of directing "Port of Shasow," "Les Enfants du Paradis" is based on a boy saves girl, loves girl, loses girl, and wins girl approach. However, do not make the error of accepting this as all face value. Arletty McBarrault acts as Garance, a pick-pocketing mistress. She is supported by a rich duke and sleeps with Frederic arid, other assorted gentry. The opening of the movie soon finds Garance in the hands of the local "fuzz", for lifting a watch. Baptiste (Jean-louis Bar- rault), a young superficial Idiot, comes to her aid. She thanks him and goes on her merry way. Baptiste is mortally wounded by one of Cupid's arrows. Garance picks up two boy friends, a crook with a flare for murder and an actor who plays the role of the doomed moor who loved Desdemona. A good portion of the film is devoted to their madcap escapades and the periodical fiestas. SORDID, COMIC "Les Enfants du Paradis" is based on the sordid, tragi-comic, colorful, deeply human life that milled through the ^leatrical districts of nineteenth century Paris. It has been deeply criticized for being inexpertly cut and edited. Some claim this show is a French counterpart to "Gone With the Wind" while others, who have seen it, are in stern disagreement. All in all, the New Republic magazine had the following comment on "Les Enfants du Paradis": "In spite of these flaws (those mentioned above), the film is infinitely better than most." , , ; Some of the others, who-helped make the show what it is, are Bierre Brasseur a prominent cast member; Lucien Barsacq and Raymond -Gabutti, who handled the ;decorations, and Antoine Mayo, in charge of costumes. bers on Monday evening at a dinner in the Union Building. A native of Cobb County, Ga., Mr. Carmichael was recipient ot the 1965 Georgia medal for distinguished public service awarded by the Associated Industries of Georgia. This was the latest in a long list of honors he has received for bis outstanding contribution to community life. For his service to mankind, Mr. Carmichael was recipient of the Presidential Citation of Merit for "Outstanding Fidelity and Meritorious Conduct in aid of the war effort." He was also named by Queen Elizabeth, II, to the Order of St. John of Jerusalem- He was recipient of. the Distinguished Service Award in the field of industrial management given by the Woman's Club of Georgia in 1964. . Draft Quota Might Force College Men To Rebellion Draft riots may, disrupt the nation's college campuses unless Congress moves toward, elimination of the draft before it adjourns this fall, according to, a recent statement by 'Associate Professor Ross Wilhelm -.of the University of Michigan Graduate School of Business Administration. Wilhelm says left wing student groups are planning demonstrations, including * civil disobedience, for this fall over Viet Nam and the draft. ANGRY SUPPORT. "While most students support our country's position in Viet Nam, the latent anger over the slave. labor aspects of the draft Is so strong they probably will follow this left wing leadership. "The tempers of many college students are high enough over the vicious injustices built into the draft system that there is a potential for violence comparable to the Los Angeles riot on American campuses. The draft is foremost in the minds of most college students." Professor Wilhelm - believes that "the draft is just one way to get people to perform military duties" and that a better way is just to get people to perform military duties by increasing the pay and base it on volunteers who join because they want to. The draft is Just a substitute for adequate pay, he says.
