PUBLICATIONS ELECTIONS TO BE HELD MAR. 19 ©te tftsmt WLtp&rtet * * * Florida's Oldest College Newspaper • *• VISIT THE ALL NEW WAY-OUT 77THYEARN0.19 FRIDAY, MARCH 12,1965 PRICE 10 CENTS ROTC Grads Report In Second Lt. Jack Hampton and Second Lt. John. Francisco, June graduates of Stetson commission cd through the ROTC program, are both presently stationed in Germany. They have written to Maj. Hewlett Rainer, Stetson PMS, describing their reaction to active duty. Jack Hampton, a distinguished military graduate who finished first in a field of 193 new officers at the Infantry School at Ft. Benning, Ga., is a mechanized infantry platoon leader for B Company, 1st Battalion, 7th Infantry. After 28 days in the field leading his platoon in offensive and defensive exercises, Jack had this to say: "My reactions to field duty are mixed. It certainly is every bit as .exciting as I expected once we got rolling. It is also quite a challenge to keep up with the modern mobile concept of Army operations. It'is almost impossible to describe the, impact of the M113 (Armored Personnel1 Carrier)" on the life of a young 2nd Lt. And while I was prepared adequately for most of my duties, the problem of control when leading a mechanized platoon almost swallowed me up." Union Board To Elect 2 On Friday, March 19, the Stetson Union Board, will hold its annual elections for the purpose of choosing two representatives- at-large from the student body. The two representatives elected by the students will serve on the Board for 1965-66 and will be eligible to hold office on the new board.

Convocation Speaker Set At University Dr. Charles "Chuck" E. Bod- die, president of the American Theological Seminary in Nashville, Tenn., will be the guest speaker at the second Convocation of the spring semester today at Stetson University. The services will be held at 10 a.m. in the sanctuary of the First Baptist Church in DeLand. Dr. Boddie, former associate secretary of the public relations department of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Societies, was elected president of the American Baptist Theological Seminary on July 1, 1963. He joined the staff of the Societies' early in 1956, at which time he served in the missionary personnel department where he encouraged young people to accept the challenge of missionary service at universities and Baptist institutions. He has met hundreds of young people through chapel addresses, counseling sessions, and also through his well-known song sessions. In June,. 1961, Dr. Bod- die's responsibilities were changed to the Public Relations Department. Yet, when the problems were over, Jack had learned a great deal and his company was complimented by the battalion commander who told them they were "the fastest moving in the battalion." Hampton on land navigation: "The map reading course at Benning is mostly land navigation now. This is just a wonderful method for' getting around over here. The compass courses that I've taken have been of no use to me. It would be absurd to use a method that has as many possibilities for failure as the Follow-the-Azimuth technique when there is no room for failure. The land navigation method is terrific here because all the villages and woods separated by fields and roads are listed on our maps and are accurate." Specifically, however, Jack had nothing but praise for the Army and the ROTC program. He said, "Joining ROTC was, and still is, one of the wisest moves I ever made. I "suspect it reflects a lack of maturity for a person to fail to understand how important good leadership is in his own personal life. Even if he could care less about serving the country, the Army (at least here) is an excellent place to develop the qualities that our society demands. The concept of "command" is very wise in this sense. When a man is held completely responsible for everything his people do, he learns a great deal about getting things done efficiently. And his judgment is given a chance to test itself. My present motto for running my platoon is good judgment plus courage equals success. If this sounds corny (and granted it does), it allows me to estimate a situation and if I feel there is a right answer, to invoke it without worrying about failing." Anyone interested in writing to Lt and Mrs. Hampton should address correspondence to: 1st Bn. — 7th Inf. APO N.Y. 09162 John Francisco is attached to the 2nd. battalion of ,the 34th Field Artillery, and says, "All in all, you cannot help but have a good time in Germany." Lt.

"I have been to Luxembourg to visit relatives and have visited Frankfort, Ansbach, Bay - reuth, Erlangen and Rothen • burg.

Librarians To Honor Stetson's Miss Smith THE REGISTRATION DESK was swamped by incoming parents last weekend, as 800 showed up at Stetson for the scheduled activities. Dr. Feelgood Brings Yo-Yo To Stetson "You Got The Right String Baby, But the Wrong Yo-Yo." Although the meaning of this sentence, reputedly deciphered from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, , has been lost to antiquity, the rhymthmic patterns accompanying it are still around and will be blasting forth from the vocal cords of Dr. Feelgood and the-Interns tomorrow night. Beginning at 8 p.m. and ending at 12 midnight, the good doctor will provide swinging music for dancing and listening at the DeLand Armory. Delta Sigma Phi and Alpha Xi Delta have arranged Dr. Feelgood's DeLand appearance, the proceeds of which will be donated to charity. The prices for the dance are $2 stag and $3 drag, and tickets may be acquired from any member of the above mentioned organizations or bought at the door. Dr. Feelgood hails from Atlanta, Ga., where he is known as "Piano Red" in night club circuits and has made extensive tours of southern colleges and universities. Some of his more popular releases include "Bald Headed Lena," "Mister Moonlight" and "Dr. Feelgood." Stetson Gets $50,000 In Early Gifts Advance gifts amounting to $50,000 were announced last week by Louis Fuchs of Daytona Beach, chairman of the Volusia County Science Center campaign. The announcement was made at a dinner for campaign leaders and guests in the Ocean Room of the Daytona Plaza Hotel. Fuchs said that "other gifts of a substantial nature" are pending and that his committee was encouraged by these early indications of support in the forthcoming effort' to secure $250,000 for the first unit of the Science Center at Stetson University. Principal speaker for the occasion was Dr. J. Ollie Edmunds, president of Stetson. Dr. Edmunds said that the proposed $3 million Science Center has been planned to include research facilities "at the suggestion and request of community leaders". RESEARCH WORK "A science building for modern classroom and laboratory purposes would not cost this much," he said. "But facilities enabling Stetson to establish a research institute for the benefit of existing business and potential industry would, and this is what we have been asked to do." He further pointed out that a recently approved federal loan which would be self-liquidating plus the Ford Foundation Matching Grant would enable the University to construct the first unit of the Science Center "as soon as,the plans can be completed" provided Volusia County produces $250,000 in the campaign. "This looks like good business to me," Dr. Edmunds remarked, "from $250,000 to a $1,500,000 first unit which eventually will be a $3 million facility in Volusia County." ; EXCELLENCE CITED , , Preceding Dr. Edmunds on the program was Mrs. C. Robert De- Armas of Daytona Beach. "We are here tonight," she said, "because we believe in the excellence of Stetson as a privately supported college, because we believe in the future of Volusia County, and because we believe in adequate facilities for the education of our youth." More than 500 students are attending Stetson from Volusia County this year, she said, adding, "for them and for those who will come after them, we want the best educational opportunity that can be provided." Approximately 200 people attend the dinner. Solicitation for Special Gifts began this week with March 18 as target date for the completion of the campaign. Music School Elects Senators Alice Brown of Atlanta, Ga., and Webb Wiggins of Cedartown, Ga., were elected to represent the Stetson University School of Music in the Student Government Senate. Both students are in the School of Music, Miss Brown is majoring in music education and cello, and Mr. Wiggins is majoring in organ. They will hold offices until the general elections on the campus in April.
