Indies Look For Unity, Cup, House NOTICE There will be a meeting of all Stetson REPORTER staff members and anyone else interested in writing for the- paper this afternoon, at 3 p.m..in room 213 of the S. U. B. By DON MILLER The Independent Men's Organization will be striving for a more unified and lasting group structure this year. The first major step in this direction was taken at.. the, Indie's first meeting on Oct. ,7, when a motion was made to.re-, quire all those participating in infra-mural sports on the Indies team to attend the meeting of that month. The motion was amended to a form requiring all members of Indie's team to attend three of the four meetings during the semester unless a good reason excuses the player from' the meeting. NEW NAME? This year's Indie officers,' Ted Brouseau, president, Jerry Bot- tomley, vice-president and George Dorer, secretary and treasurer, are considering the possibility of changing the' name of the group to somethihg with "A socially more acceptable connotation,"" in Ted's words. Ted also "described the Indies as a group of men on campus who do not._ agree. with the fraternity philosophy of "buying your way into a group of friends" and being "bogged down with conformity, the easy way out." Rather students should be able to maet friends by participation in sports, extracurricular activities, studies and actual personality. NOT FRATERNITY REJECTS "We are not a group of men who couldn't make it into,a fraternity," commented Ted. "Many Independent Men have been asked to join various frats, and some men have pledged and then came back after a taste of fraternity life." Plans, for'Indie activity this year includes social functions at Thanksgiving and Christmas and of course, intramural sports. EYEING PRESIDENT'S CUP In the last ten years the Indies have been the only organization that has managed to take the President's Cup from the sports orientated Sigma Nu fraternity. "Before the Lambda Chi game," Brousseau elaborated, "we felt if we last to them,.we'd have a mediocre season. But we also felt that if. we won, we'd go all the way to the President's Cup again." INDIE HOUSE? The largest step in making the Indies an active campus group is the plan for a fraternity-style house on Stetson grounds. Although this may sound contradictory to the Indie's philosophy, the organization's president explained that the ultimate purpose is to become'ia,society of men with the Indie philosophy which will provide social and extra-curricular functions as study breaks for thei men without the "cost and childishn time - consuming, interests of fraternities."

The Student Government is sponsoring their appearance and asks that every able bodied man and woman come out and catch the notes. Tickets are on sale today by SG members at the nominal pi'ice of a mere S1.50. They .can also be obtained at the door for the also almost-negligible price of $2.00. For entertainment it's the Capitol Recording stars, The Leter- men. This young trio blasts the freshest, most magnificent vocal blend of any group in the music field today, and the sound has brought them almost instantaneous success. Their albums sell in the millions, their coast-to-coast concerts are complete sell-outs, their night club appearances break -records everywhere- and their college dates draw larger crowds than any other vocal attraction. PERFORMERS A performing group as well as a vocal group, The Lettermen are in great demand on televi- -sion too. They were first spotted by George Burns who told Jack Benny, who told Red Skelton, who told Ed Sullivan who told the world — "The Letermen are great."' They've -starred:qiCall these-TV-programs and the reaction was so strong they've been invited back time and time again. The Lettermen have appeared at more than 350 colleges throughout the country and even now are on their way back for repeat performances. There isn't a college fraternity house or sorority in the country that doesn't have a complete library of Lettermen record albums. Individually, Tony Butala, Jim Pike and Bob Engemann had been group vocalists for some time, Tony singing in a quartet and Jim and Bob in trios. Tony and Jim met during a shift in one of the vocal groups that brought Jim to audition for Tony's group. It was at this time that the two discovered they had a magnificent blend of voices. And it was at this time that Jim told Tony he had only once previously run into someone with whose voice his blended so well. His name was Bob Engemann. Jim had met Bobby at Brigham Young University. When the group disbanded, Tony and Jim decided to find Bob, who was now in Los Angeles. Thus was born-"The Lettermen." SPECIAL STYLE The boys try to fill, the gap by giving the public, adults as well as the youngsters, what they want to hear. The Letter- men blend their voices on the old, standard ballads in combination with today's instrumentation. They sing folk-songs, old songs, new songs, but always in their style. Tony, Jim and Bob, whose Lycan Talks On Filippinos Dr. Gilbert Lycan, chairman of the History Department, spoke to the Sons of The American Revolution, Monday, Nov.. 9, at 12 noon. Dr. Lycan's subject was "State of Mind of the Filipinos." He is very familiar with this subject, having recently- returned to Stetson from a year's leave of absence which was spent teaching at Silliman University in the Philippines. He went to the Philippines on a Fullbright lectureship. Dr. Lycan won his master's degree in international relations from Yale University, the first such ' degree earned in this country. His doctorate in American, diplomatic history was also awarded at Yale. The Stetson professor was president of the Florida Historical Society for two consecutive years — he has served on its board of directors and on the board of editors ,of the Florida Historical Quarterly, He is listed in Who's Who in America, Who's Who in American Education, Who Knows '& What, and the Authors' and Writers' Who's Who (London). Capitol Records have sold in the millions, love their work to the point where it is not actually work at all. .When they're not singing on stage, they're more than likely off in a corner singing for pure enjoyment. They rehearse no matter where they are and usually end up singing for a group of fascinated fellow travelers. Often they'll travel coach in the air so they can sit three .abreast as they. fly. .They get a kick out of it as they start to sing softly to, dirty looks, but once they -get- going, it usually ends up with, "Do you know ? SWAP PARTS Contrary to most- vocal groups, the boys all have the same range and interchange their parts, sing ing the melody line, top or bot- .torn. They feel another reason for their success is the fact that, all' do solos which make thein ;muchmore interesting to watch. On the nitery floor they, also throw in comedy, vocal impressions and play instruments..'.."' The, Lettermen are not just a vocal group. They are entertainers. - • I Greek Gab By GWEN MULLDOKS AND FRANK CARTER DELTA DELTA DELTA Greek Week was very exciting for Tri Delta this year.. At the traditional sing.

A special note of thanks to the (Continued on Fags Two) Concert Choir Travels, Sings, Frolics, Returns By GLORIA HUNTER On Thursday the Concert Choir made its first trip.of the year. The choir, under the direction of Prof. Harold Giffin, gave two performances in Tampa, both in connection with the Florida.Bap. tist .Conyention.jfvhlch. wa&V-held- there-Jhis past. ,^eK: rTJje*:'first performance was at the Stetson Ministerial Alumni. Banquet at Morrison's Cafeteria. ..-' . Performed in this concert were: • "A . Mighty Fortress -is Our God" arranged by Mueller and "Let All the Nations Praise the Lord" by Leisring. In the secular vein, Diane Bethea sang "I Like Men" by Mopper and Betty Bedsole and John. Burchette^ sang- f.'Soon*--Ifs---Gonna Rain" from "The* Fantastiks." -. CONVENTION SONGS After,the banquet the- Choir performed' at the Convention which was being Held at ■' the First Baptist Church. Performed here were: "Christ Be'Thine.the Glory" by Schuetz; "Omnipotence" by Schubert with Monica- Hester soloist, "O Clap Your Hands" by Vaughn .Williams, and "The Halleltfjah'Cho-, rus":from. Hah'deiss -''Messfah-.t',- As:is the custom at ail choir performances, the program was closed' with the singing of the "Alma Mater" in which all Stetson alumni present joined in with the choir. At the, banquet earlier, copies of the "Alma Mater" had been passed out to all present. This refreshing of the memories of past graduates made the singing of the "Alma Mater", at the: church an inspiring moment. '.'HI-JINX . A trip with Concert Choir Is more than just going, performing and returning. On this particular trip, two Greenbriars, or "Beetle-bugs" as Prof calls them, and a Greyhound bus with Wyatt Carpenter as driver, made the trip. A lot of unusual or unexpected . things are bound to happen'. This trip, started off with, having to-leave one", of.the ■VBeetle-- bugs" north.of.Orlando and piling its passengers'into an already full- bus. '• ■' , • A stop in Winter Park to get chairs to put in the aisles -ariij everyone was made reasonably comfortable. Everyone always has to be on his guard for straight pins, shoe thieves and all types of jokes. This can be verified by asking any member of the choir. A typical example of the unexpected things that go- on, cams when the choir stopped at Ronnie's ' in Orlando on the way home. Prof, leading the' choir In front of the bus, on the pretext of .explaining something, had the driver, Wyatt, blow the horn. Everyone knows how loud a bus horn is, especially when you are standing,directly in front'of the bus.!v...... . • ;'-'• vA-,bus trip is. not complete, however, until there are jokes told and songs sung, which are sung full voice on the return trip. Occasionally, a person can be seen trying hopelessly to study or sleep. Such is the mad, mad Jvorld of a Concert Choir trip!
