BY JOHN DAVIS My dear fellow egotistical students, discard at once any preconceived convictions that Stetson* Homecoming will be just another "Mickey Mouse" affair this year. Granted it' cannot exactly be a "football homecoming", complete with football (of course if we had a team. . . .), but it can be one complete with just about everything else (let your evil minds wonder). For instance, Stetson Homecoming 1966 will be complete with concerts, parades, lawn decorations, dance (not Lawrence Welk and his bubble music), and all sorts of various and sundry activities—including a- "Howl" with warped skits filled with filthy words and insinuations, oh Joy. This particular article will deal with', but one aspect of the 1966 Homecoming program. Within the web-filled auditorium of Elizabeth Hall will appear a group of roving minstrels that are unmatched in originality, talent, and enthusiasm. Who arc they? Well we can automatically eliminate Tom Mix and the Red Ryders, and can also ignore any rumors that it might be Orville and the Ozarks. Logically this brings- it down to a mental choice between Davy Crockett and his golden oboe, and the Town Criers. Considering the fact that Davy Crockett only throws knives and probably does not have the slightest idea what an oboe is, we can easily arrive at the conclusion that the Stetson campus will be graced with the appearance of the Town Criers. So, through the pedantic process of elimination combined with the help of a little guesswork, a process resembling that of a Christianity final, we have gained a substantial amount of knowledge concerning the spring concert which, jncidently, has not been coupled with 1966 Homecoming for all sorts of materialistic reasons. But do not "knock" the Town Criers. The Town Criers represent a new and dynamic group rapidly building a name based on wcll- enterlained audiences. Since their: beginning in October 1963, on the campus of Georgia Tech, they have met with steadily increasing success, and have already gained recognition through out the South. The Town Criers consistently delight their audiences with their new approach to entertainment. They believe in presenting blue- grass (maybe even a little Uncle Bruce) — some traditional, some modern, some original. During the course of a Town Crier performance tho audience will Witness four distinct personalities and magnetic personality of Ron Stephenson, the cut© little goodies (remarks and antics, that is) of Jim Moody, the outstanding voice of ..Bill Patterson, and tho superlative instrumental ability of ole Ed Wing. Therefore another logical conclusion that can be drawn from the aforementioned facts in that one could have only two reasons tha twould be acceptable if he- she-it missed this concert: 1. You have a test tho next day. 2. Your liquid consumption rate has reached its peak and you would no tbe able to see the stage anyway. The Town Criers will serve their audience with a generous portion of musical talent, seasoned throughout by dashes of collegiate witticisms. They will be an entertainment experience to rremembers.By all moans do not miss it. DR. EDMUNDS Mrs. Induk Pahk Korean Educator Speaks The Stetson University community will aave a rare privilege on January 20 and 21 when Mrs. Induk Pahk will be a visitor to the campus. Mrs..Pahk will speak at the Vesper Services at 6:30 in Allen Hall on' Thursday evening, January 20, and again at 8:00 that evening at a place to be announced.

Mrs. Pahk is not new to Stetson University as she has twice spoken as a member of the University Forum Series. Induk Pa was born in Korea, a product of an illiterate Buddist mother and a scholarly Confucian father who mourned the disappointment that the new baby was a daughter and not a son. It was the illiterate mother! soon left a widow, who prepared her daughter for the unheard of experience of education. She seemed to realize that if a new day for women in Korea were to come, she would have to make it. Attended First Girls School Mrs. Induk Pahk was a product of the first high school for girls in Korea. Her contact with Christian missionaries and thc church finally led her to Ameri- MRS. INDUK PAHK ca and college. She did her undergraduate work at Wesleyan in Georgia and her graduate work af Columbia in New York City.

The change in schedule, will give all "students Monday off, and, with more efficient registrations procedures on Tuesday, most of that day will also be left free. Dean McEniry commented on the change. "This Is something we .felt had to be done. This year it will be a shorter break ..than we plan in the future, but at least students will not take ex- lams Saturday morning and the have to start classes Monday." Seven members of the Reporter Staff met with the Dean Monday afternoon to discuss problems concerning the winter term. The Conference was tape recorded and the most significant questions and answers appear below. The Reporer encourages 'studennit questions, which may be asked at the next conference. Q. What .are .your first impressions of the Winter Term, now that the first week is over, from an academic standpoint? A. I think we have found some bugs in the program we did not anticipate. Generally, I, think the program is going even a little better than expected for the first year. I will list the bugs we found. CAFETERIA JAM 1. The jam in the cafeteria line that we simply did not anticipate, and this was thc reason that we cut out the subsequen- chapel meetings, and changed the hour, so that we would not have the rush in the cafeteria. We are also working on the pos-: sibility.of a third cafeteria line because we think there is a Towding, no matter how we look at it. MECHANICAL DEVICES 2. We thought we had all the mechanical devices in working meeting for them. We ran into one supply difficulty so that the spotlights in the Elizabeth Hall Auditorium are just getting up this afternoon. They were ordered in time, but they just didn't get here. I have had mixed reports about the sound in Eliza- betn Hall and I still don't, know what the right answer Is. Apparently with the standing mikes, some of the men who were lecturing were not accustomed to turing were not accustomed to them. We have bought a lava- lier "mike" for this reason but some of the men didn't want to use it, because you trail the thing around and it can hang you. I hope that this is going to solve the sound problem. We were talking today about the possibility of another audiovisual setup, which we cannot hope to get constructed this year.
