Welco Hht etson T*r ik ik lAr umni • • • • * • Florida''*s Oldest College Newspaper *•• 77TH YEAR - NO. 16 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1965 PRICE 10 CENTS Dickey Tells Responsibilities, fT Of Students In Universities "A place for Mature People" was the topic of Frank G. Dickey, director of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools,, in an address yesterday to an upper-class assembly at Stetson University. SPEECH TEXT "My theme today is concern^ ed ' with how we can live our todays most effectively through a living university' such .as this, one. ' '• ■ "We' in the U. S. are very much aware of the -obligations which we. bear to ourselves, ■ to. people in other lands, and to the- generations which will follow. These responsibilities, in briel, are to preserve the best of our heritage, to improve the mediocre, and to rid our society of the bad. These things are simple to state — and not so simple to the very least, setting our goals constantly higher — higher, in fact, than we may actually be able to achieve. But without this approach to the future we might as well concede that the Ameican adventure is finished, and none of us, let me add, is prepared to make this concession ... NATIONAL VIEW "Let's take a look at the "view" first —the view of'our ration as it stretches before us. —'A. "By 1970, America's po- pilation will'be 215,000,000 -—r - — B. "By 1970, work force; of 84 million compared to 68 million today ' ." • • ■ • —C. "Income per family will climb form $6,000 to $8,000 —D. "In homes and factories and farms we will be able to afford more and more machines to do our bidding. There will be more educational bpportunites. There will .be, better medical care, more recreation and travel. One forecaster has even suggested that we will have to cope- with a skyful of personal helicopters. The sum of this incredible age — nuclear power, solar energy, miracle metals, and wonder drugs — will be a Gross National Product in 1970 that is almost-50 per cent higher than that of last year. "Out of these projections emerges an image of America that is as breathtaking as any people have every had the opportunity to consider. There is, however, neither a gurantee nor any magic about these possibilities. Achieving "tomorrow" ought not to be over simplified; for there is still a very: steep hill' to climb. INCREASE AID "If we are to achieve these things, we must double the $10 million we are now allocating each year to research. We must double the amount given to the support of our schools. "Thus far, I have mentioned only our expanded economic needs in the years ahead. But as important as these are, the need for people who will be able, to handle our advanced technology will be even greater. And do not think, by any means that I refer to people with techincal skills only. Our society is in urg- j ent need of minds trained to i think, housed in people: who aire deeply perceptive. We have built j into our civilization so many (Continued on Pag* Twol Stover Gives 'Sunshine' As Homecoming Offering -.' fs-iV • i ■':..V. * ■ 1 i: . Stetson University's Stover Theater will present as its Homecoming production "Little Mary Sunshine" Feb. 18, 19, 20 at 8 p.m. "Little Mary Sunshine" is a satire on the Jeanette Mac- Donald-Nelson Eddy musicals of the 1930's. The author of this show, Rick Resoyan .satirizes such, favorite shows; as Rose Marie, Naughtey Marietta, -May- time, New Moon, arid" the Vagabond King. The antics, settings, customs, and acting traditions of the earlier shows are repeated in "Little Mary Sunshine." The setting of this show is the Colorado Mountains and the Forest Rangers- who appear regularly in the show are themselves "arsattfe' of -the "Canadian mounted police of the Rose Marie show by Rudolph Frimil. ' The cast includes Richard Keigley, Karen Anderson, John Burchette, Ann Nathan, Carol Taylor, Rick Wall, Richard.Kar- berg, Butch Padgett, Sam Grey, Carol Hooker, -Mary Lou Seymour, Charlotte Fizell, Susan French, Liz Rogers, and Janice Wills.

This:production was authored by the same man who wrote the very popular Boy Friend pre- Concert Updated The concert scheduled by the Stetson, University Orchestra for Saturday, Feb. 20, has been postponed until a'later date, according to Robert L. Hause, director of the orchestra and faculty member in the Stetson School of Music. The postponement is due to many conflicting activities of ."Homecoming Weekend.". In order to accommodate the large number of Stetson and Central Florida people who wish to attend these concerts, it is felt best that the performance be moved to another date when there will be less activity on the campus, Hause said.

Sophs Are Given A Second Chance Presently enrolled sophomores at Stetson University,' who failed to join the Army ROTC program in their freshman year will be given another chance to enter the program, Major Hewlett E. Rainer, PMS, announced today. The United States-Army, now offers college men an opportunity to be commissioned as Second Lieutenants after only two years of on campus ROTC training. The traditional ROTC program requires four years, but the new ROTC Vitalization Act of 1964, signed into law by the President of the United States on October 13, 1964 makes' it possible for college students" to meet the requirements for. a commission in just two years. The: new two-year program is designed specifically to fill the needs of junior college graduates and students of four-year colleges , who have not taken ROTC during their first two years. These students who plan to earn a baccalaureate degree at one of the colleges offering advance ROTC may,qualify for commission as Second Lieutenants by completing the two-year program at that school. The program will enable you Jarrard Speaks Wendell Jarrard, Sr., chairman of the board and president of DeLand State Bank, spoke to Stetson University business students yesterday in the Stetson Room of the Stetson Union Building. Announcement of this was made by Dr. Chaunccy Elkins, acting dean of the School of Business Administration. Mr, Jarrard, former chairman- director of the Florida Development Commission in Tallahassee, is recognized as an active member of many civic, community and business organizations throughout the State of Florida. He is a trustee of the Baptist Bible Institute of GracevUle, Fla.; Director of the Parkway National Bank, Tallahassee; Director of the DeLand Chamber of Commerce; and a member of the First Baptist Church of De- Land, DeLand United Fund Executive Committee, DeLand Shrine Club and Stetson University Science Center Steering Committee. to serve, your Country and fulfill, your, military obligation as a commissioned officer in the United States Army. The ROTC student acquires the advantage of experience in organization, management and leadership which other college students do not get. ROTC provides training in voice and command, speaking on your feet, self' assurance, self discipline and respect for authority which wiU be invaluable to you in military service or in a civilian profession. It will put you a step ahead for the. rest of your life. Students wishing to enter this program will have to 'fulfill.'the following requirements. . They will be required to take the ROTC Qualifying Examination. This is essentially an aptitude test covering reading comprehension and mathematics. After successfully completing the aptitude test, they will be given a medical examination.. Students will then be interviewed by an Army officer • who will assess their personal qualities and potential.for becoming an effective Army officer. SUMMER CAMP After a student has been accepted for the program he will be required to attend a six-weeks basic summer camp between his sophomore and junior year. The purpose of this camp is to toach him the basic military skills he would have learned in the first two years of the basic ROTC program. Men attending this camp will receive pay at the rate of $78.00 per month, six cents per mile .travel allowance, free room and board and all uniforms and equipment need cd. Upon their return to Stetson they will be formally enrolled in the Advance ROTC along with the regular 4 year ROTC student. Here they will receive 540.00 per month retainer pay for the next two years and have exactly the same status as every other third-year cadet in the program. ..:." Anyone desiring further information on this program should contact Captain Brown at the; Army ROTC Headquarters here at Stetson University prior to March 1, 1965.
